And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:5" Devotion: The opening scripture above refers to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is the light of heaven and earth who came into the world: when He landed on earth, satan and his kingdom of darkness could not understand Him, because He shone beyond their comprehension. The life of Jesus Christ on earth was characterized by mighty signs, wonders, authority, and power. He was fully in control of all things; had He not come to die to redeem us from our sins, He would not have died on the cross. Glory to the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ that He has made us just like Himself. We are the light of the world and the kingdom of darkness cannot comprehend us, Matthew 5:14-16. As a Christian, you should distinguish yourself from those in the world so that you can so shine better and better every day. When you want to shine, shine Christ Jesus to your sphere of contact; it is the only w...

John 14:27" Devotion : There are two kinds of peace: the worldly kind of peace and the Jesus Christ kind of peace. The worldly kind of peace does not solve the troubled heart of a child of God. This is so because the child of God has been born into a different family, that is, the family of heaven, and worldly peace cannot appease heaven. Another reason is that worldly peace is limited and outward but the heavenly peace/Jesus kind of peace is limitless and works from within before showing on the outside. It is the only solution to overcome fear, which fights us from the external forces of darkness. Dearly beloved, if you have Jesus Christ in your life you have this special kind of peace to overcome anxiety, fear, and a troubled heart. Hallelujah! It gives you the opportunity and privilege to soar higher in life, like the eagl...
Reality of Cultural Havocs on Marriages and Families By: Olaniyi Isaac, Omibeku ( PIO ) It was Chris McGold who defined culture as a line any group draws that separates the behaviours they advocate and tolerate from the behaviours they refuse to tolerate. I agree with that. The lines between the acceptable ways of life and those that are not acceptable are visibly printed everywhere. Culture is real however, at the same time it is dynamic. It changes from time to time unannounced and unpremeditated. The dynamism of culture informs the emergence of cultural drift and cultural shift in most part of the world today. Today, we talk of communication culture; educational culture; economic culture, financial culture; spiritual culture; entertainment culture; dressing and fashion culture; spiritual culture. My interest is centred on marital and family culture. Default and Intentional Culture There is a trend in the permissive nature many people approach have towards cultural change. Whe...
