I rarely read Christian books written by Nigerian authors. This is not because I think Nigerian authors have nothing to say, but because good indigenous books--books that are faithful to Scripture and clear about the gospel--are really scarce. My countrymen aren't well known for their sound theology as they are for many other things (which... Continue Reading →
No one knows tomorrow. And no one disputes that fact (maybe some people do, but I am yet to meet any of them). The Christian affirms that only the Sovereign God knows what tomorrow will bring. The Scriptures testify that mortal man does not have the ability to see beyond that which God enables him... Continue Reading →
I know this may come as a shock to you, my dear friend. I am recovering from the shock of this discovery myself. I recently discovered that all this while, we have been lied to by men who did not know what it meant to be saved. I’m sorry, but I do not think we’re... Continue Reading →
Poison. That's how a friend recently described my new "convictions." I had given him answers to some questions and he disagreed with them.

I could not have imagined that Nigeria would be in the situation it currently is, with temporary lockdowns slowly being effected across the country. At some point, many... Continue Reading →
I have nothing new to say about the coronavirus. Countless of resources have been released by people more knowledgeable about the pandemic than myself. So I won't be sharing deep insights that somehow managed to have escaped their brilliant minds. I started writing this post because I was recently made to think more about the... Continue Reading →
Samuel I. Prime's book The Power of Prayer gives an account of the New York revival of 1857-1858. I had not heard of that revival before I purchased the book. It was a revival of prayer, one that did not resemble many other historic revivals—a point that Prime continually reminds his readers throughout the book.... Continue Reading →
February was an interesting month. I preached three times in February, the same number of times I preached in the entirety of 2019. Preaching is serious business, and I can say that preaching in February was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I have greater respect for preachers who get on their... Continue Reading →
