HOSANNA, is a Hebrew compound word “HOSIA NA”, HOSIA literally means Save, while NA literally means Pray, especially a prayer for God to deliver the people from their enemies and bless them”. It was used in the Bible as shout of praise and adoration to God, especially during the times of celebration and victory. Particularly In the Book of Zechariah 9:9, Palm Sunday can be clearly seen to be an Ancient Jewish Tradition. This Biblical passage predicted that the Messiah would enter Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Of course, it was a PROPHECY. Now, for that Prophecy to be fulfilled, JESUS, had to present Himself as the long-awaited Messiah to the Jewish people that prophet Zechariah was talking about.
In the Biblical era, the Pharisees expectation of the Messiah is that He’s to be a military conqueror capable of delivering the Jewish people from the oppression of Roman rulers. Jesus proved them wrong that the Messiah can be All-powerful and at the same time becoming so humble. You can reference this statement in Philippians 2:6-7. That’s why the imagery of the donkey symbolized humility and peace, contrasting to the imagery of a conquering King riding on a horse. The significance of Palm branches in the Triumpal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is associated with victory, triumph and celebration. These Palm branches are often used to welcome victorious leaders and kings returning from a battle or on special occasions. The use of Palm branches is a both historical and religious significance, that displays Jesus Identity as the Triumphant King and Saviour in fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies. Sadly, exactly 6 days later of this Triumphal entry, came disappointment and betrayal, leading to His crucifixion on Good Friday.
Palm Sunday, till the Second Coming, serves as a reminder of Jesus mission and hope of salvation He brought to humanity in His First Coming. The next time He comes, He’s no longer going to ride on a donkey, as a gentleman, but on a horse, as a Fierce Warrior.
Do experience a Happy Palm Sunday today and a Holy Week in advance.
Understanding Tuberculosis: A Global Health Challenge
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, causing immense suffering and economic burden globally. Despite significant progress in diagnosis and treatment, TB continues to pose a serious threat, particularly in low and middle-income countries. This article aims to shed light on the challenges posed by TB and the efforts being made to combat this ancient disease.
The Burden of Tuberculosis: TB is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis and primarily affects the lungs. However, it can also affect other parts of the body, such as the kidneys, spine, and brain. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), TB ranks among the top 10 causes of death worldwide, with an estimated 10 million new cases and 1.4 million deaths reported in 2019 alone.
Transmission and Risk Factors: TB is primarily spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Factors such as overcrowded living conditions, poor ventilation, malnutrition, and weakened immune systems increase the risk of TB transmission. Individuals with conditions such as HIV/AIDS, diabetes, and tobacco use are particularly vulnerable to TB infection.
Symptoms and Diagnosis: The symptoms of TB can vary but commonly include a persistent cough, chest pain, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. However, many people with TB may not experience any symptoms, making early detection challenging. Diagnosis often involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests, including sputum analysis and chest X-rays.
Treatment and Prevention: TB is treatable and curable with a course of antibiotics. However, treatment requires strict adherence to medication regimens lasting several months to ensure complete eradication of the bacteria. Preventive measures include vaccination with the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, infection control measures in healthcare settings, and improving living conditions to reduce TB transmission.
Challenges in TB Control: Despite advancements in TB diagnosis and treatment, several challenges persist in combating the disease. These include limited access to healthcare services, particularly in marginalized communities, drug-resistant strains of TB, stigma associated with the disease, and inadequate funding for TB research and control programs.
Global Efforts and Initiatives: International organizations, governments, and NGOs have intensified efforts to eliminate TB as a public health threat. The WHO’s End TB Strategy aims to reduce TB deaths by 95% and new cases by 90% between 2015 and 2035. Key components of the strategy include early diagnosis and treatment, addressing social determinants of TB, and investing in research for new diagnostics, drugs, and vaccines.
Conclusion: Tuberculosis remains a significant global health challenge, affecting millions of lives every year. Addressing TB requires a comprehensive approach that combines prevention, early detection, and access to quality healthcare. By scaling up efforts and mobilizing resources, we can accelerate progress towards eliminating TB and achieving a healthier, more equitable world for all.
In the midst of our daily interactions, it’s often easier to perceive the faults and shortcomings of others than to acknowledge our own. This tendency to point out the flaws in others while neglecting our own imperfections is a common human trait—one that has been addressed through parables, teachings, and philosophies throughout history. One such timeless lesson can be found in the biblical metaphor of removing the speck from another’s eye while ignoring the log in our own. The essence of this teaching lies in the recognition of our inherent biases and the importance of self-reflection. It urges us to pause and consider our own actions and attitudes before hastily criticizing others. After all, how can we effectively help someone else with their minor flaw when we ourselves are burdened by a greater fault?
This principle extends beyond its religious origins and resonates with people from all walks of life, regardless of faith or belief system. It speaks to the universal truth that humility and self-awareness are essential components of personal growth and meaningful relationships. In our fast-paced world, where judgment and criticism often overshadow understanding and empathy, the message of removing the log from our own eyes before attempting to address the speck in another’s serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity. It encourages us to approach others with compassion and empathy, recognizing that we are all flawed individuals striving to navigate life’s challenges. Moreover, embracing this mindset fosters a culture of accountability and mutual respect. By acknowledging and addressing our own shortcomings, we set an example for others to do the same, creating a ripple effect of positive change in our communities and beyond.
In practical terms, embodying this principle requires conscious effort and introspection. It involves cultivating a habit of self-assessment and being willing to confront uncomfortable truths about ourselves. It means prioritizing empathy over judgment and seeking to understand before rushing into conclusion. Furthermore, this principle challenges us to examine the motives behind our desire to point out the flaws in others. Are we genuinely concerned for their well-being, or are our criticisms rooted in pride, jealousy, or a desire to exert control? By honestly evaluating our intentions, we can ensure that our actions are driven by compassion rather than ego. In interpersonal relationships, applying this teaching can lead to deeper connections and greater understanding. Instead of jumping to conclusions or passing judgment, we approach conflicts with humility and a willingness to listen. This opens the door to constructive dialogue and the opportunity for mutual growth.
Moreover, removing the log from our own eyes fosters a sense of accountability and integrity. When we take ownership of our mistakes and strive to rectify them, we demonstrate integrity and earn the trust and respect of those around us. This builds stronger, more resilient relationships built on a foundation of honesty and authenticity. In the broader context of societal issues, embracing this principle can lead to profound social change. By acknowledging our own biases and privileges, we become better equipped to address systemic injustices and advocate for equality and justice for all. It prompts us to confront uncomfortable truths about systemic oppression and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society. In essence, the lesson of removing the speck from another’s eye while removing the log from our own serves as a guiding principle for navigating the complexities of human interaction. It challenges us to cultivate humility, empathy, and self-awareness in our daily lives, fostering deeper connections, promoting accountability, and driving positive change in ourselves and the world around us. As we strive to embody this timeless wisdom, may we approach each day with an open heart and a willingness to confront our own shortcomings, knowing that true growth and transformation begin from within.
Ultimately, by heeding the wisdom of “removing the speck from his eyes, remove the log from your eyes too,” we not only become better individuals but also contribute to a more compassionate and harmonious society. It is a timeless lesson that reminds us of the power of humility, empathy, and self-awareness in our journey towards personal and collective growth. Everyone has one or more skeletons (un-nice secrets) in their respective cupboards, your own not being publicly displayed doesn’t make you righteous. Because counting other people’s sin or mistakes will never minimize your own sin and mistakes. Don’t be that Hypocrite that puts the Bible under their armpits to show Saint, but not putting the putting the Bible in the heart.

Glaucoma: The Silent Thief of Sight Glaucoma, often referred to as the “silent thief of sight,” is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, leading to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. This essay aims to explore the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies for glaucoma.
Causes and Types: Glaucoma typically occurs when there is an increase in intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eye), which damages the optic nerve. However, it can also develop with normal or low intraocular pressure, known as normal-tension or low-tension glaucoma. The main types of glaucoma include: Open-angle glaucoma: This is the most common type, characterized by a gradual increase in intraocular pressure due to the slow clogging of drainage canals in the eye.
Angle-closure glaucoma: This occurs when the drainage angle of the eye becomes blocked suddenly, leading to a rapid increase in intraocular pressure. Normal-tension glaucoma: In this type, optic nerve damage occurs despite normal intraocular pressure.
Symptoms: One of the most challenging aspects of glaucoma is its asymptomatic nature in the early stages. As the condition progresses, individuals may experience: Gradual loss of peripheral vision Tunnel vision in advanced stages Blurred vision Halos around lights Severe eye pain Headaches Nausea and vomiting (in cases of acute angle-closure glaucoma)
Diagnosis: Regular eye examinations, including tonometry to measure intraocular pressure, visual field testing, and examination of the optic nerve, are crucial for early detection of glaucoma. Additionally, imaging tests such as optical coherence tomography (OCT) can provide detailed images of the optic nerve and help monitor disease progression.
Treatment: Although there is no cure for glaucoma, treatment aims to reduce intraocular pressure to slow down or halt further damage to the optic nerve. Treatment options include: Eye drops: These medications help decrease intraocular pressure by either reducing the production of aqueous humor or increasing its drainage from the eye. Oral medications: In some cases, oral medications may be prescribed to lower intraocular pressure. Laser therapy: Procedures such as laser trabeculoplasty or iridotomy can improve the drainage of fluid from the eye. Surgery: In advanced cases or when other treatments are ineffective, surgical interventions like trabeculectomy or drainage implants may be necessary to lower intraocular pressure.
Prevention: While glaucoma cannot always be prevented, certain lifestyle choices and habits can help reduce the risk of developing the condition: Regular eye exams: Routine eye examinations are essential, especially for individuals over the age of 40 or those with a family history of glaucoma. Healthy lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and eating a balanced diet can contribute to overall eye health. Protective eyewear: Wearing protective eyewear when engaging in activities that pose a risk of eye injury can help prevent damage to the optic nerve. In conclusion, glaucoma is a serious eye condition that requires early detection and appropriate management to prevent irreversible vision loss. By raising awareness, promoting regular eye examinations, and adopting healthy lifestyle habits, individuals can take proactive steps to safeguard their vision against the silent thief of sight.
🪽What is a SERAPH? SERAPHIM the plural form for a certain high class of angelic/celestial beings; Seraph(singular). In Hebrew, Sarap is the Generic name, which gives rise to the common name: Fiery One/Burning One/Flaming One/Purifying One.
🪽What Do They Look Like? Extracting my knowledge from Isaiah 6:1-3, They typically have SIX Wings; because they are the most proximal creature to God’s Throne, they receive a huge blast or dose of God’s brightness. So that’s why the first pair of wings is for covering their face from the eternal beauty, glory and radiance of the Almighty. They also do this as an act of humility before God in awe. The second pair is for flight and the third to cover their feet.
🪽What Are Their Roles/Duties? Their role is to observe if they’ll find at least any sin, blemish, mistake or impurity in God’s being and consciousness, but since the moment of their creation and even in eternity to come, they won’t find any iota of sin in God, so for this reason, in awe, in shock and in wonder, they have kept and will keep on shouting “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” forever and ever! (Isaiah 6:3)🪽What is a Throne? THRONES, the plural form of a certain class of angelic/celestial beings; In Hebrew, Ophanim (plural), Ophan(singular) is the Generic name, which gives rise to the common name; Wheels or Discs.
🪽What Do They Look Like? Well, they appear to arguably be seen in the book of Ezekiel. They face the directions of the Cherubim. They are sparkling, having the morphology of large round wheel intersecting another wheels with four wide rims full of eyes around them. We can see that in Chapter 1 of verse 15-18 and Chapter 10 of verse 1-2 and verse 9-13 in the Book of Ezekiel. However, in Colossians 1:16 it was stated that Christ was the Creator of everything inside and outside the Universe. The word “THRONES” appears to be there, but some Theologians believe this to be interpreted as probably a celestial authority or position or just angelic beings like Ophanim(Wheels). There’s no Biblical description that says it has wings.
🪽What Are Their Roles/Duties? In form and function, the Ophanim in Ezekiel’s vision reveals God’s supreme reign over the entire universe. The multidirectional wheels themselves remind us that we serve a God who is omnipresent; able to be in all places at all times and see things at all times.What is a CHERUB? CHERUBIM the plural form for a certain high class of angelic/celestial beings; Cherub (Singular). In Hebrew, Keruvim is the Generic name, which gives rise to the common name: Guardian/Defender/Protector.
What Do They Look Like? Surfing through Books like Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Psalm and to mention a few. But Cherubim was vividly described in the Book of Ezekiel and Revelation. They have Four faces; the first face is that of a singular term CHERUB, the second is that of a MAN, the third is that of a LION and the fourth is that of an EAGLE.
What Are Their Roles/Duties? Like I said earlier in the introduction, they are Protective agents. God put them in charge to defend or prevent our Primitive Parents (Adam and Eve) from accessing the Tree Of Life. Aside that, they are always at alert to filter or eliminate agents that want to by any chance make effort to oppose or contaminate the Throne Of God. Cherubim are also Throne Bearers Of Yahweh by serving God’s divine Will and executing the divine duties on earth. Carved sculpture of two Cherubim are placed facing each other on the Ark Of Covenant depicting God’s Ark Of Mercy and Judgement.
P.S: The Four Living Creature, as Revelation describes, is a special type of Cherub, but of different order or rank meant for a specific purpose that is already stated in Chapter 4 of verse 8 “TO WORSHIP AND PRAISE GOD ETERNALLY!” The entire body of the Four Living Creature is covered with eyes, and even under it six wings. Yeah, what a Special Cherub indeed.
Please, feel free to contribute by sharing your thoughts. I’d glad to receive them too.🤩

🫧For generations, bubbles have sparked the curiosity and imagination of children and adults alike. It’s why bath time mascot Mr. Bubble has been a sudsy family favorite since 1961 — people love bubbles. They love to blow them, pop them and fit inside them. Bubbles aren’t just for entertainment; they are the crisp effervescence in our sodas and sparkling water, and some doctors are even using microscopic bubbles to deliver medicine more effectively. Whether for entertainment or scientific study, scientists have been turning their attention to why bubbles pop.
🫧For many years, it was believed that bubbles popped because of gravity. When a hole is poked in a bubble, the hole expands over time, and the bubble collapses. Because the hole wasn’t growing as fast as the bubble was shrinking, scientists chalked it up to gravity.
🫧Other studies suggest that surface tension, not gravity, ultimately results in a bubble’s demise. The pressure inside a bubble is greater than the pressure outside of the bubble. When a hole is poked in a bubble, the pressure equalizes. Because surface tension always wants to minimize the surface area of its molecules, the bubble shrinks and flattens. The sides and base of a bubble are thicker than the top, so when the bubble collapses, the top sinks down faster, which is why it looked like gravity was forcing the bubble to collapse.
🫧To understand why bubbles form — and why they pop — you need to understand surface tension. Surface tension is the tendency of molecules on a liquid’s surface (the ones closest to air) to form stronger bonds. Water alone cannot sustain bubbles. You need something else — like soap. Soap molecules have a long hydrocarbon chain. One part of the chain really likes water (hydrophilia), but the other side repels water (hydrophobia).
It’s not surprising that everyone knows the nursery rhyme *”Mary Had A Little Lamb,”* but you probably didn’t know this was based on a TRUE LIFE STORY.
Her name was MARY ELIZABETH SAWYER. She was an 11-year-old girl who lived in Boston and one day was followed to school by her beloved pet lamb. In the late 1860s, she helped raise money for an old church by selling wool from the lamb.
And yes, that reminds me; If you’re quick to be fretted, disappointed or too emotional, this article isn’t suitable for you. Because as we learn from history, sometimes, it can also not end up the way we desire it to be.
Read, learn and have fun.📣🤩📰▶️🐑The nursery rhyme, which was first published in 1830, is based on an actual incident involving Mary Elizabeth Sawyer, a woman born in 1806 on a farm in Sterling, Massachusetts, USA. In 1815, Mary, then nine, was helping her father with some farm chores when they discovered a sickly newborn lamb in the sheep pen that had been abandoned by its mother. After a lot of pleading, Mary was allowed to keep the animal, although her father didn’t hold out much hope for its survival. Against the odds, Mary managed to nurse the lamb back to health.
🐑 “In the morning, much to my girlish delight, it could stand; and from that time it improved rapidly. It soon learned to drink milk; and from the time it would walk about, it would follow me anywhere if I only called it,” Mary Sawyer said.
Mary would later write in the 1880s, many decades after the incident. And, yes, the lamb would indeed follow her wherever she went and it truly had “a fleece as white as snow.”🐑 “It followed her to school one day, Which was against the rule; It made the children laugh and play to see a lamb at school. 2⃣ And so the teacher turned it out; But still it lingered near, and waited patiently about till Mary did appear.” 🐑The lamb grew up and would later give birth to three lambs of her own before being trampled upon to death by one of the family’s cows at age four. Another tragedy struck soon after when Roulstone; the boy back then who handed Mary a piece of paper with a poem he’d written, eventually became a freshman at Harvard, but died suddenly at age 17. 🐑Here’s where the controversy begins. In 1830, Sarah Joseph Hale, a renowned writer and influential editor (she’s also known as the “Mother of Thanksgiving” for helping making the day a holiday), published Poems for Our Children, which included a version of the poem. According to Mary herself, Roulstone’s original contained only the three stanzas, while Hale’s version had an additional three stanzas at the end.🐑Mary admitted she had no idea how Hale had gotten Roulstone’s poem. When asked, Hale said her version, titled “Mary’s Lamb,” wasn’t about a real incident, but rather something she’d just made up. Soon the residents of Sterling and those of Newport, New Hampshire, where Hale hailed from, were arguing about the poem’s provenance – something they continued to do for years. In the 1920s, by which time both Mary Sawyer and Sarah Hale were dead, none other than Henry Ford, the man who revolutionized the auto industry, leapt into the fray.
🐑The inventor sided with Mary’s version of events. He ended up buying the old schoolhouse where the lamb incident took place and moved it to Sudbury, Mass., then published a book about Mary Sawyer and her lamb. In the end, it seems the most logical explanation is that Hale simply added the additional stanzas to Roulstone’s original (which she’d probably gotten wind of at some point).🐑But wait! There’s a third version of how the Mary and her lamb story came to be. Across the pond in Wales, Mary Hughes, of Llangollen, Denbighshire, was credited with being the subject of the nursery rhyme supposedly penned by a woman from London by the name of Miss Burls. The only problem with the U.K. version of events is that Mary Hughes wasn’t born until 1842, twelve years after Hale’s poem was published.
🐑In the end, the nursery rhyme took on a life of it’s own after it was set to music. It became wildly popular beginning in the mid-1800s. The poem even became the *FIRST AUDIO RECORDING IN HISTORY* when Thomas Edison recited it on his newly invented phonograph in 1877 in order to see if the machine actually worked. Which actually did!🐑Back in Sterling, Massachusetts. U.S.A they continued to celebrate Mary Sawyer. There’s a statue of the famous lamb in that town to this present day, and a restored version of Mary’s home (the original was destroyed by a pair of arsonists back in 2007).
Her descendants continue to farm on that land that gave birth to the most famous nursery rhyme of all time.
*POV:* For more than 2 decades of my life, I’ve always been thinking “MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB” was revealing to me Virgin Mary and her boy, who’s the Lamb of God.😹👏💔

After A Complete & Consecutive 365 days. Wisdom, Ending?
“You see, the WISDOM of God is like food that can be served in different forms or flavour. You don’t know which form or angle it may surmount in the advantage to reveal, to judge or to solve daily situations. Howbeit, hunger to eat WISDOM each and everyday of your life. It’s like an ocean, that has no endpoint. Selah!”
“Irrespective of who becomes the leader of your Nation, always thank God for his life, keep on interceding for him in prayers because these are the secrets to having a peaceful, blessed and quiet Nation.”
“As you’re busy praying for a good ruler for your Nation, also pray that God should give him good advisors, so that all his good efforts will not be like a man pouring good wine into a basket.”
“There was a particular era in the Bible where people had to cook and eat their own children as food due to a great famine. So, wherever you are, just give thanks to God irrespective of the current hardship going on in your Nation.”
.. Adam’s offsprings were cursed or should I say programmed to CRUSH Satan’s head; That’s a HEADACHE. In the same vein, Satan being programmed to STRIKE THE HEELS OF ADAM’S OFFSPRINGS; That’s a LEG PAIN. .. Come and let us reason this together. Which one inflicts more painful than the other and which of them can you manage to survive with even after being inflicted with severe case of toxicity or infection.
HEADACHE or LEG PAIN?
I, as a Medical personnel, wouldn’t want to go deep into explaining which one is more painful than the other, how and why? Howbeit, there’s still some unpuzzling it.
Take for instance of a case where a leg is bitten by a venomous snake and the circulation of venom comes with intense speed, that leg should be cut off, and you may still survive. But one thing is very sure, like my Mom used to tell me, even till now, that; “No matter the headache one can ever have, cutting off or chopping that head to relieve the ache isn’t an alternative at all.”
Probably, we all are aligned to the same answer that you can get your leg crushed or chopped off and still survive, but you can never survive if it, if your head is crushed or chopped off, right? Let’s now swim into small details by diving Scripturally.
According to Genesis Chapter 3, Adam and Eve were the first to disobey God, by doing so, they signed a death warrant, their death certificates were already issued to them even before they died the physical death. Man was programmed to live for all of eternity. But the moment Adam and Eve ate the Forbidden Fruit, which was toxic to their system. They began to began to have Spiritual Severe Haemorrhage and this bleeding was continuous and we know that if there’s shortage of blood in the system, proportionally speaking, that life will also be cut short. For the life of living being is inside the blood. There’s more to this story, but here is a succinct detail of the First Adam and his curse. Even till today, the serpent is still ever ready and relentless in striking men’s heel in order to inflict many more pain, injuries and ensuring that man continually bleed.
In Galatians 3:13-14, a Second Adam came. He was a Superhero. He came to carry our programmed curse, because anyone hanged on the Cross is already cursed. He came originally as a Doctor Of Blood Transfusion, through His Crucifixion. This Second Adam from the offspring of David, went to the Cross, so that the sharp fangs of the serpent will inflict, strike and pierce His Heels thereby causing Him to bleeding. Satan was happy thinking that’s going to be the end, but little did he know that The Second Adam was using that piercing to donate His own blood for humanity. That BY HIS PIERCING WE ARE HEALED (Isaiah 53:5).
This blood was shed to mix with our own in order to cause coagulation to occur, thereby stopping the long-term bleeding in man and increasing man’s lifespan capable of making him dwell for the rest of eternity, because the blood of Jesus that gives eternal life is already incorporated inside. The danger of this donation is that if you’re not born of Him, The Second Adam you cannot gain to blood compatibility with Him the Donor, you’ll be deprived of getting a blood transfusion from Him, otherwise His precious and Holy blood will cause agglutination in your body, meaning His blood will work against you. Why not gain blood compatibility with Him today?
If you choose not to accept Jesus Christ the Second Adam into your life as your Personal Lord and Savior, it means that you’re enjoying the way the devil is inflicting you with ETERNAL LEG PAIN making you paralyzed not to run the race that is Heavenly.
Moreover, the only people protected against the evil and strikes of Satan are those who are born of Him, those who have covered their body with the Whole Armour Of The Christ. The weapon very particular to this topic is in Ephesians 6:15, NLT: For SHOES, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. You constantly need to wear the shoes for your protection, to use it to proclaim everywhere about the One who gave you His blood and also to using it to trample upon Satan to give him an ETERNAL HEADACHE.
“Many citizens in a Nation will continue to be in a state of bondage, if they know the truth, but still fail to vote in the right persons to rule over them.”
“One of the reasons why your Nation is experiencing many unpleasant conditions, is simply because you’ve not chosen to prioritize praying for the peace of your Nation.”
“Your Christian life, is like a car. The engine that will make you function to move forward is PRAYER, but the head lamps for your vision and the steering wheel for your direction, is in His WORD”
“If the devil cannot make you bad, don’t worry, he’ll find diverse ways to make you very busy to praying and studying your Bible. And overall, takes you on a long vacation away from your secret place.”
“If the devil cannot make you bad, don’t worry, he’ll find diverse ways to make you very busy to praying and studying your Bible. And overall, takes you on a long vacation away from your secret place.”
“When a husband has an undying love for Christ, Christ will bestow upon that man, an undying love for his wife. And when a wife has an obedient heart to Christ, He’ll shower upon that woman with absolute submissiveness to her husband”
You cannot continue to be swimming in IMMORALITY and still expect yourself to be flying in IMMORTALITY. You cannot continue to toil with LUST and still expect your glory not to be LOST. Deviate from that INIQUITY, so that you won’t end up in eternal CAPTIVITY.”
“There was a time when people used to go Church to hear the truth and wept bitterly over their sins. But today, people love to go to church to hear motivational speeches that will make them encouraged to ignore their sins.”
“The ultimate and the most effective solution over National Crises, is for that Nation to humbly come together to drive forward in praying to God, reversing to seek God’s face and U-Turning from their sinful ways.”
“You can be given a device/machine and still not know how to use it well. God gave us magnificent brain, but He still wants us to use it to be able to choose the right leaders well and wisely.”
“When you vote the right person into power, the whole Nation will be BUTTERED. But when you vote the wrong person into power, the whole Nation will be BITTERED”
You Voting Or Not Will COUNT, Because You’ll Still Give ACCOUNT
“Whether, you voted wisely or not, or whether you’ve chosen not to vote at all, you’ll still stand before your Maker to give account for your choice of action or inaction, on the Judgement Day. Nevertheless, you’ll be on the safer side, if you’d done the right thing.”
“Christ is not a member of any political party. He stands outside of and above every other party. For His Kingdom is not of this world. That’s why it is very possible for you to be a School owner, and choose NOT to be involved in teaching in that school at all. “
“God created man for several reasons. But the most essential and the main reason why God created man including every creatures, both in Heaven, on land, underground, beneath the sea and all things you can think of in the entire universe is just to GIVE HIM PLEASURE. And this pleasure, is in form of Glory, Honour & Power!
“Archangels, Angels, Cherubims, Seraphims, 24 Elders were all created for just one major purpose; TO WORSHIP only GOD endlessly. But it doesn’t make any sense at all when humans made from DUST still feel too big to also WORSHIP God.”
“If you fight a battle without God, you’ll definitely lose or be beaten beyond recognition. If you ask God to give you the best strength, skills, tactics/formation to win the battle, you’ll definitely win, but may end up conceding goals/scars from your opponent. But if you allow God to fight the battle or play the match for you, He’ll surely win with a huge margin and also a cleansheet, and handover the victory or solid points to you”
“The devil doesn’t care if you listen to good sermons or not, he doesn’t care if you read your Bible or not, he’s not interested in if you go to church or not, for as long as you don’t apply them into your life, he is very much satisfied with it like that.”
“Every man drives through the road of temptation daily. The devil is relentlessly selling sin in wholesales and retails by the roadside. The devil can’t force you to come down and buy his product called SIN. Otherwise, you would be pissed and probably drive off. The devil is only a MARKETER. You either choose to PATRONIZE him or DRIVE OFF with speed, from what he’s SELLING.”
It is better to hear the Pastor preach on your sins in this life, than to hear Jesus say, DEPART FROM ME, YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY FOR I KNOW YOU NOT! in the afterlife.
“God’s mercy is like a data bundle subscription. It is not permanent or fixed unto a particular man. That’s why each day of your life, you should always pray for a rollover or renewal of this mercy.”
“It’s such a great pity, that the only thing some people changed this year is their CALENDAR. This year, you can’t continue to use the same old habits to get new results. What is even good about you shouting HAPPY NEW YEAR!, when there’s nothing NEW TO BE HAPPY for the YEAR?
“One of the silliest mistakes you should never try to make this year is for you to thank God for only the sweet, good and rosy days. When you thank God for what He has done, what He’s doing and what He’ll do, it also includes the bitter, bad and thorny days. When you thank God for the favourable days alone this year, you make Him blush and get goosebumps, but when you thank Him for the unfavorable days also, you make the blushing and goosebumps last longer.”
“Save and Invest in yourself in the youthful days of this year with God first, as several great opportunities will come than any other days. Invest in your time, your knowledge battery, your finance battery, your spiritual battery, and waterview, because unpleasant moments will come when you’ll not really have that ability to utilize some certain opportunity. It is that lamp or battery you’ve filled or charged, that will keep you going forward.”
Sowing Time! “The soil of this year is still much fresh. You have polar choices to make. It’s either you sow good or bad, it’s either you save/invest money or you spend it lavishly. The choice is yours to make. When it’s time for havesting, don’t be amazed at all. Whatever you garbage in, is directly proportional to that which you’ll garbage out.”
The Earth Experienced A Revolution, You Need To Experience A Revelation
“A New Year RESOLUTION typically last for few weeks. But what will keep a man transformed, is in a New Year REVELATION. Because what God shows to a man will always be far meaningful that what life will show him.”
“A new year is like a lighted match stick. Make sure you use every burning moment well and quickly before it finally burns out completely.” Happy New Year.
🙇🏽 _*WISDOM*_🙇🏽 _*God Made You See The End Of A Year*_ _”God hates it when your *ATTITUDE* doesn’t show *GRATITUDE*. If all you can do to God is nothing but to complain and *MURMUR*, if you’re not careful your name will be heard *NO MORE.*”_
Love Is The Graveyard That Buries Sin “It was love that blindfolded God from seeing the gravity of sin existing in mankind, that’s why God gave us His Only Begotten Son as an OFFERING, so that mankind will not experience eternal SUFFERING”
Even The Saviour At One Point Needed To Be Saved.*_ _”The similarity between Jesus and Moses was that; both of them were born to save and deliver their people. But the Kings ruling them respectively wanted them dead. But thanks to their parents that changed the whole story.”
Happy Boxing Day Even if you’ve been a devil of stinginess, a demon of uncaring heart, from the beginning of this year. While you’re still LIVING, try to be LOVING, by being an angel of GIVING, before this year runs out! Remember, God Boxed His Gift (Jesus) down to earth, why not also box someone’s life with a gift?

“Christmas is not all about partying, merrying and sharing of gifts. Christmas is also an appreciative reminder to God for giving us a DIVINITY that died for HUMANITY, so that they can have a better life even in ETERNITY”
X in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry is used to express an UNKNOWN VARIABLE, So, why are you still using the word X-MAS to celebrate a KNOWN Everlasting Father, who’s very CAPABLE? X in marking answer booklets means WRONG or ERROR. So, why are you still using the word X-MAS to celebrate a *RIGHTEOUS & ERROLESS GOD? X on a Cartesian graph is represented to be below. So, why are you still using the word X-MAS for a God who’s the MOST HIGH?
The primary role of Mary was to make sure the UNBORN CHILD was born comfortable in the womb and also bringing the child safely into this world. The primary role of Joseph was to take care of Mary and preventing her from having any form of miscarriage, protecting and transporting Mary and the child away from The Herodian Kings. The primary role of God The Father was to put an end to the Herodian Kings.”
“Till today, everyone is really commending Mary more than Joseph so much because she gave birth to Jesus. Which is very wrong. If Joseph wasn’t an understanding husband to accept a baby not of his own, the Arrival of Jesus would have been at stake. Moreover, Joseph was legally married to Mary, but he had to refrain the urge for his own virgin wife for a period, so that the birth of Jesus will come to pass.”_
The Baby’s Name Has Already Been Fixed, But Not The Mother’s Name
“A very good example of the difference between GOD’S WILL and GOD’S GRACE is that; It is GOD’S WILL that Jesus MUST(COMPULSORILY) come through a VIRGIN. But it is GOD’S GRACE that Jesus SHOULD(FAVOURED) come through VIRGIN MARY.”
“To get to the Book of REVELATION, which is the CONCLUSION, you must first open to the Book of GENESIS, which is the INTRODUCTION Jesus’ DEATH would have never been possible without His BIRTH. That’s why Jesus was BORN to live, in order to DIE!”
“When Adam fell, the connection between God to Man became FARAWAY. God offered His only Begotten Son as a GIVEAWAY, so that you’ll not become a CASTAWAY. He was born to give us eternal life, as our own TAKEAWAY, so that sin will not make us stinky like an abandoned SOAKAWAY”

“The baby boy that was born in a manger 2,000 years ago, is now the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the King who was never ENTHRONED, yet, He can never be DETHRONED, He’s the EL-SHADDAI who cannot DIE, He’s the ADONAI, who’s the Most HIGH, He’s the ELYON, in whom you can ever RELY ON*m, He’s the ELOHIM, but it’s a pity that some still don’t know HIM”
“A woman’s heart should be very close to God, that a man should have to chase God to find her. Probably, one of the reasons why most men get on their knees to put a ring unto her finger, is because they see that woman’s heart already burning for God. Moses saw the burning bush and he had to immediately get on his knees.”
