Silence of the lambs...

Nothing stirs my spirit more than when I see men rejoice in ignorance,Ignorant men who do not wnat to get wisdom. Oh brethren, did not the scripture say that wisdom is the principal thing and that in all our getting we should get wisdom? Men of this age are pursuing every other thing but wisdom. My bible tells me that wisdom was present when the foundations of this world was laid. What then is there that we desire to be instructed in that we can not get from the school of wisdom.
How overwhelming is the foolishness of this world, how pathetic is the life of the man who celebrates his ignorance! He is caught in the trap of an insatiable urge to always hear his own voice and bewitched by a strong sense of entitlement. Let us therefore listen more than we speak for in patient listening comes epiphany. The enterance of God's word gives light and understanding to the simple. Seek wisdom and you shall find her. Not in the volumes of man's knowledge for man has been confused since after the fall, but in the hidden mystries of christ, hid from the world from its foundations but revealed in us by Christ. Christ is the wisdom of God and He lives in us,so we have the mind of Christ and speak the mystries of the unsearchable riches of Christ to a foolish and dying world. Indeed the groanings of creation will soon be silenced by the manifestation of the sons of God.
Seek wisdom therefore, seek her passionately...seek her.

The Owner of the Office knows best.

Earlier this evening I decided to cook for the family. I wanted to prepare a local delicacy popular with the Enugu people of Eastern Nigeria. It is called Okpa. It is a pudding made from the flour of bambara nuts with palm oil, pepper and a little salt. You can add pepper to taste. My son is particularly fond of it. Well, my wife is the manager of the kitchen and the store. She went to church for clean up, leaving me and my boy at home. I decided to give her a helping hand. It was she who organized the store and it was she who really knew where what was kept. I invaded her office with good intentions. But you know how that saying goes that good intentions are not enough. I had never prepared Okpa myself but I have watched her do it several times. I can learn by observation so I knew what to do. I entered into the store and got the flour I used, combining it with the other ingredients and seasoning it to taste. It was going to be delicious and I felt proud of myself. I put it on the

Tests of purpose and vision- The sequel

Last time on this series, we examined four of twelve tests of purpose and vision- The test of apetite, pride, sex and money. Let's continue from where we stopped. As an addendum to the test of money, let me quickly say that most christians find it rather challanging to be faithful when it comes to money. Money is the only thing Jesus put in the god class when he said "you can not serve God and mammon". The problem believers have is the love of money which, as scriptures put it, is the root of all evil. We have seen (and we will always see) men do all sort of things for the sake of money. Believers have to be espeially areful in this area because what you do for immediate gain and satisfaction could cost you your destiny. Now to the next test- The test of Parenthood. Honour your parents (Eph 6:1-3). How you treat your parents affects your destiny either positively or negatively. The consequence of dishonouring your parents is not just a curse but the result of breaking

The Shift

Happy new year to all my esteemed readers around the world. We have, together, seen the end of the first decade of the 21st century and i have been doing alot of thinking and personal evaluation. I have come to the conclusion that there is a place where we are, or were, and there is a place where we ought to be, or are tending towards. One of the most significant things that will happen in the year 2011 is the shift. This shift will happen on a personal and global scale and the shaking will bring about mixed consequences. This shift i am talking about will be characterised by "seasons." Your control of your seasons will determine where you will end your shift process. There are certain things you must know about your season: every season has it's benefits no matter how gloomy every season has an opportunity for growth in all four dimensions of human consciousness viz: Imagination,conscience,will power and self awareness. You need the right tool to master your seaso
