The Preacher

Image
The church that compromises Truth today will compromise Morals tomorrow. It is in vain for the preacher to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one-half of the world. "A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth and be able to bite and fight" - Martin Luther. The Church does not need more popular preaching but more pungent, convicting preaching. A pastor needs the tact of a diplomat, the strength of Samson, the patience of Job, the wisdom of Solomon - and a cast-iron stomach. "I preach as never sure to preach again, as a dying man to  dying men" - Richard Baxter. The pastor in a growing church is always a central figure, but he is careful to surround himself with sanctified, responsible, consecrated believers who function as lay ministers. Growth occurs when Christ is obeyed as the Chief Shepherd, wh...

How to develop a winning Mind

Image
Mind is an important part of man. It is the place where everything man does originates from. No wonder the Scripture says, "As man thinketh, so he is ". We were fashioned to be creative in everything we do. Everything we enjoy today existed in the mind of the Inventors. The electricity, that is used to power or operates most of the gadgets we use today, existed as a THOUGHT in the mind of the inventor. The Aeroplane of today, the Rockets, The Television, the Computer, Micro-wave, etc existed in the mind of their Inventors. Today because of their determination and resilience, they were successful. They didn't allow the dream killers to discourage them. Instead of been discouraged they turn their critics to catalyst for success. They have the picture of their success in their mind everyday. Though, there wasn't any assurance visible that they could be successful, the I can do spirit fuelled their faith. It is believed by people that the first place to win a battle ...

GODLY CHARACTER

Character is the mental or moral qualities that make a person, group, nation, etc different from others. Your character is your total description. Character itself is the accumulation of behaviors / attitudes that have become part of one over the years. It defines who you are and what you do. Whatever you are in this world, whatever might be your achievement, if you don’t have good character, you have nothing. Character goes a long way to determine one’s influence on those around, whether positive or negative. Joshua as a case study. The life style/character of Joshua was a basic element that informed his ability to elicit obedience from his followers and fellow Jews. We first heard of him when he helped Moses during the Exodus, when he was sent by Moses to fight against the Amalekites; a battle which he won gallantly, bringing glory to God and victory to His people (Exodus17:8-15). To have been chosen by such a friend of God for such an onerous task goes a long way ...

Rare solar eclipse sweeps Atlantic

BBC NEWS reported that, A rare solar eclipse allowing a view of the Sun that is totally or partially blocked out by the Moon is under way. It was first visible in the southern United States, and is moving east. The best view of the total eclipse on land was visible from Gabon. The total eclipse will then sweep east across the African continent. Partial views will be available in eastern North America and southern Europe. Experts warn that no-one should attempt to view the Sun with the naked eye. A safe view of eclipses can be obtained by using special welder's glasses or a pinhole camera. Halo This solar eclipse is a rare occurrence in that it is "hybrid" - switching between an annular and total eclipse. In a total eclipse, the Moon completely covers the sun, while an annular eclipse occurs when the Moon is at its farthest from the Earth and does not block out the Sun completely, leaving a halo of sunlight still visible around the Moon. The eclipse event began about 1,...
