Caught in the Very Act President Clinton was caught in the very act and it made big news. He was tried by the whole world being the leader of the most powerful nation of the world. His affair with Monica Lewinsky almost cost him the presidency and his family and the nation in a sense suffered shame. A recent big name caught in the very act is General Petraeus. He resigned his position because of his affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell. Not long ago, the World cried foul because of a Middle East woman who was going to be stoned because of adultery and there was no mention of the man involved nor any punishment for him. How come it is just the woman only in the Islamic Sharia justice system? After all it takes two to tangle. About 2000 years ago, a woman was caught in the very act. She was brought to Jesus for judgment and again without the man/men involved. “3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 ...

Mocked By Your Brothers in Your House The worst heart pains are inflicted at home and in your own household. We are more forgiving of outsiders than those within. Why is it so? We often think and conclude that those within should know better. It is played out thousands of times in the marriage relationship and that is one of the reasons the divorce rate is so high even among those who profess to be Christians. We often say the marriage is broken because the heart is broken. We have a Jesus whose heart was broken at home before he could even minister outside. His own brothers mocked him and did not believe in him. Apostle John records, 3 His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5 For even His brothers did not believe in Him”. John 7: 3-5. Did you hear what ...

World (Word) Hunger Jesus is interested in all of our affairs including what to eat. He is concerned about World hunger too because the Scriptures says God “gives food to all flesh” (Psalm 136:25). There is a serious food hunger in our world today. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), “In round numbers there are 7 billion people in the world. Thus, with an estimated 925 million hungry people in the world, 13.1 percent, or almost 1 in 7 people are hungry”. These are real figures and we should do whatever we can to help feed people and nations. Growing up during a period of civil war in Nigeria, I saw hunger and malnutrition first hand especially on the very young. People lacked the basic nutrients (protein) that caused them to have bloated stomachs, tinny legs and hands; and big and enlarged heads. You have seen some of the pictures. It is called kwashiorkor and it kills if not treated and often it may be too late. There is another even worst ...

Have you Passed from Death to Life? As we celebrate this Easter, we need to make clear and reassured of what we are celebrating. People feel sorry for Jesus and weep for the events that led to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Feelings are good but not enough. “27 And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him. 28 But Jesus, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.” (Luke 23:27-28). The real issue is whether we have “passed from death to life”. “24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life” (John 5:24). If you have by believing in Jesus then Easter is for you and me. If not there is nothing to celebrate. In John 5, we encounter a man who had been impotent/paralyzed for thirty eight years. We are not told the exact c...

Waiting for a Miracle to Believe? You would think that with all the miracles we have observed, heard about and witnessed in our lives and those of others, we would just believe in God without question and doubts. If fact, there should not be anyone who does not believe in God. There have been many miraculous stories of our time where thousands were saved from natural disasters. There was the earthquake of Haiti where many were recovered after more than a week under rubbles and they lived. There are the recent miracles from Sandy storm that hit east coast of USA. There are the many miraculous births of babies that had no chance of survival. On and on and on even in our lives and around us. God gave my wife and me a baby after 15 years of infertility and barrenness. The list goes on and it is endless. So why would anyone not believe in God and Jesus Christ His Son and Savior of the whole World? Jesus helps us gain insight into this question. Jesus said to a nobleman and actually to...

Worship In Spirit and Truth I recently bought Microsoft Office 2010 software on EBay. It was advertised for $86 and was to ship from Florida within 14 days. I waited and waited for about a month and it finally arrived. I was deceived. The product was shipped from China and it was made in Singapore. I tried to install it and found that the product key was fake and not an authorized official Microsoft product key for activation. I am now working with EBay to get my full refund. It is now obvious that I was dealing with a different “spirit” and no “truth” whatsoever on this EBay transaction. Have you been duped/deceived before? Religion will deceive you and it is deceiving many today. In John 4, Jesus told the woman at the well, “22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 Go...

Refused CPR Sin has separated humans from our relationship with God our creator. When Adam and Eve sinned (disobeyed God and fell out of their original relationship with God), the punishment for sin was declared and went into effect. 16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Genesis 2: 16-17. Spiritually speaking, humans are dead living corpses. A dead person will either remain dead or a new breath is breathed into the person to live again. About two weeks ago in California, a nurse refused to perform CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) on a dying elderly woman and she never regained consciousness and died. The nurse had called emergency services (911) for help and the 911 dispatcher instructed and begged the nurse to perform CPR before help got there. The nurse refused to perform CPR citing that it...
