I won’t go to hell…
He went to hell for me.
I won’t pay for my sins…
He already paid for them.
I won’t ever be punished…
He was punished in my name.
I won’t remember my sins…
He doesn’t remember. Why should I?
I won’t live irresponsibly…
It’s not my life, it’s His life.

MIRACLES - LET'S PLAY BALL
I tell you for certain that if you have faith in me, you will do the same things that I am doing. You will do even greater things, now that I am going back to the Father. (John 14:12)
The Bible is a book of miracles. God’s mighty interventions in the life of ordinary people. Not just “natural miracles” but true supernatural inexplicable acts.
The New Testament opens with Jesus, God’s first-born son. A miracle worker per excellence. Water turned to wine, the dead raised, the sick healed, walking on water….
Jesus dies, resurrects and goes back to heaven. Here comes the Acts of the Apostles. The miracle ministry which they had during Jesus’ brief three years of ministry definitely expands.
The same miracles that Jesus did and more…
Shadows cast healed sick bodies….
IT CAN STILL HAPPEN TODAY
God doesn’t have great men. The best of men are men at best.
Only ordinary people do miracles, that’s the grace element. God takes the glory because He does all the work!
The church – you and me –have the power of Jesus Christ. We have the cure for cancer, HIV-AIDS but we don’t know it.
It’s time to know and act.
Only cowards among us will settle for explanations on why God can’t use us to do miracles today.
Jesus can do miracles, He lives in us!
Let’s let Jesus loose on our world.
The world doesn’t just need an explanation of grace; they need a demonstration of it!
If not now, when?
If not us, who?
The ball is in our court.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA
“But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.” (Rom 5:20)
This verse of scripture gives me lots of hope. When there’s a lot of sin, grace comes along and triumphs abundantly.
There is hope for Nigeria. Today, October 1, Nigeria celebrates her 49th anniversary. As far as we can see, greed, corruption, crime, religious crisis seem to hold sway. But, light shines brightest in the dark.
We are too closely scrutinized in International airports worldwide. Our name seems to be soiled. People are afraid to associate with us. Why? The criminal minority with the loudest expressions.
Poor, even though we are about the 6th largest exporter of crude oil.
Colin Powel is reported to have said that the wealth of the UK and the US combined does not compare to the natural resources found in Nigeria. But, we are still one of the poorest nations in the world.
I can’t shake this feeling. Nigeria would one day become one of the greatest nations this world has ever seen. There is a lot of sin in Nigeria; this is what gives me hope. Man’s extremity is God’s opportunity. The stone rejected will one day be the chief cornerstone.
God will raise the greatest gospel teachers and preachers from Nigeria, that’s His style. He that is forgiven much will love more. That’s Nigeria.
One day, Nigeria will become one of the safest and most beautiful nations in the world. The gospel will do it.
One day this dark nation will bring light to the world. Grace tells me that the least expected becomes the most expected.
I believe in the Nigerian dream. I’m proudly Nigerian. I’m a part of that dream.
God bless Nigeria.
