  “ You are the light world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden”… (Mathew 5: 14-16). Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young.   Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.   (1 Timothy 4:12) F rom the inception, Light was designed to make positive impact in life. It is designed as value carrier. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light .” (Gen 1:1-3) The entrance of light brings in shout of jubilation, solution, joy and good life. This explained the situation when you were born. There was jubilation like a light born into the family, but greater jubilation when you were born again, because then you were born as the light of the wo...

Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Many organisms live in and on our bodies. They're normally harmless or even helpful, but under certain conditions, some organisms may cause disease. Some infectious diseases can be passed from person to person. Some are transmitted by bites from insects or animals. And others are acquired by ingesting contaminated food or water or being exposed to organisms in the environment. Signs And Symptoms Signs and symptoms vary depending on the organism causing the infection, but often include fever and fatigue. Mild infections may respond to rest and home remedies, while some life-threatening infections may require hospitalization. Common infectious diseases, such as measles and chickenpox, can be prevented by vaccines. Frequent and thorough hand-washing also helps protect you from most infectious diseases.

By Overseer I. A. OGUNLADE Every Christian is obliged to pay tithes and offerings. This matter has been contentious among some Christians and surprisingly some denominations have told their members that this injunction is not obligatory and out-rightly preach against it, claiming that Jesus Christ did not pay tithes and did not preach it. Nothing can be farther from the truth as we shall see from the scriptural text in this text. The truth is that Jesus recognized the payment of tithes when he rebuked the Pharisees in the Book of Matthew 23 verse 23 on their hypocritical attitude toward tithes paying , and for using their religion as a veneer of holiness to conceal unholy character. The origin of Tithing In Genesis 14 we have a first reference to tithing and this pre-dates the Mosaic Law. In Gen 11: 17-20, when Abram (later Abraham) returned from conquest of his enemies with a lot   of spoils, and he paid TITHES OF ALL to Melchizedek the priest of the Most High God. ...

The world is fast running to an end as the second coming our Lord Jesus Christ draws nearer than hitherto. The frequency of disasters in the world apart from what we are experiencing in our own country, Nigeria indicates more the imminence of His Second Coming {Rev 22:7,12} The clarion call is becoming more strident on daily basis as the value placed on human life diminishes through mass deaths resultant from Government actions or inaction, religious and tribal strife as well as man-made disasters. WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS? The Bible says righteousness exalts a Nation while unrighteousness is a reproach which incurs the wrath of God.{Prov 14:34} Righteousness is therefore staying on the right side of God, that is abiding and complying with the commandments{ in Exodus 20:1-17, Deut 6:1-5}. . Our Lord Jesus compressed the commandments to two, viz “Love God with all your heart, with all your soul and with your entire mind; secondly love your neighbor as yourself” {Matt 22:37-4...

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth. I will draw all men unto me. John 12 :32. There is need for Jesus Christ to be lifted up in our lives before we can enjoy His divine grace. To be lifted up means to be elevated. To be honoured, to be promoted and to be regarded as the most important ones. Jesus must be lifted up in your life as Christians. Although God has already exalted Him above all, yet you and I must know Him as Lord over all affairs of our lives. Phil 2:9-11. Many see themselves as the great one, rather than lifting all things. John the Baptist was a good example when he said, “I am not Christ”. John 1:20. If people wants to lift you up above Christ, better confess that ”I am not Christ”, let Christ be lifted up. Let all power, authourity, dominion and praise be given to Chist. This is the secret of your success as you are going in the journey of your life. Lift up Jesus and He will draw you near unto himself. With Him, you are delivered from th...
