Foolish Christians, By Femi Aribisala
Unbelievers steal because they are smart: While Christians steal because we are foolish. If you were appointed as Nigeria’s minister of Finance, would you steal? It all depends on what kingdom you belong to. If you belong to the kingdoms of this world, you would be a fool not to…
Called To Minister To God (3), By Femi Aribisala
God takes us through pain and adversity because He wants us to identify with Him. Those who minister to God lament over the things that break God’s heart. We grieve over the afflictions of Joseph. (Amos 6:6). We commiserate with a distressed Father who daily sees His beloved children going astray,…

Called To Minister To God (2), By Femi Aribisala
When we minister to the Lord, we will receive the anointing to minister to men. God says to Israel: "Why did your fathers desert me? What sin did they find in me that turned them away?’ (Jeremiah 2:4-5). “Even their priests cared nothing for the Lord, and their judges ignored me;…
Called To Minister To God (1), By Femi Aribisala
Although God does not have needs, He has wishes. He also has desires. Does anything upset God? Yes indeed! God is upset many times in the scriptures, according to the prophets. He is upset a lot because we upset Him. Jesus was so upset about Jerusalem that He wept over…
Expressions of Grace In the Ministry of Jesus (2), By Femi Aribisala
The grace of God that brings salvation is received by faith without merit. But it is perfected by works. Paul says: “By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8). This…
Expressions of Grace In the Ministry of Jesus (1), By Femi Aribisala
Jesus never gives anybody what they deserve. He only gives what we don't deserve. The centrepiece of Paul's doctrine of salvation is what he refers to as "the election of grace." (Romans 11:5). In his epistles, Paul shows that God does not relate to people: "according to their good or bad…
George Floyd: Yank their Feet Off Your Necks, By Babafemi A. Badejo
Many human beings are rightly condemning the asphyxiation of George Floyd to death over what must have been a painful and agonising death as he shouted: “I can’t breathe” and called on his dead mum to help out. But Derek Chauvin, the police official (better expression than “officer”, which makes…
You Are No Longer A Human Being (2), By Femi Aribisala
The new man created in Christ Jesus is a divine being. Ladi Bada recently gave a revelation that transformed my outlook. He said if anybody abuses or criticises him, he takes it, believing God must have approved it. God either intends to use it to correct him, or to test…
You Are No Longer a Human Being (1), By Femi Aribisala
An experience can be absolutely “real” but absolutely false. Many years ago, I went to collect my wife from the airport and was cornered by armed robbers. They blocked the road with their car and approached us with guns. But in the middle of the attack, I heard a disembodied…
God Must Be Our Saviour, By Femi Aribisala
We cannot call God Saviour and then insist on saving ourselves. I have never asked God a question he did not answer. He might not answer immediately, but all I have to do is stand upon my watch like Habakkuk, and he answers sooner than later. (Habakkuk 2:1). But a…
