Gabriel Eziashi got this one directly from the throne of Grace.
by Abayomi G. Omotayo Since I was born and now I am growing older, I have never seen the Lord change, the righteous forsaken nor his children begging for bread but the reasons behind my going to church have changed with each phase of my life. As a baby, I went to church because my... Read More
Unlike some people who say stuff like ‘I am asking for a friend’ when seeking answers to bugging questions because they are either shy or just used to lying, I am not asking for any friend. I am asking for myself because I am just curious. I live on the mainland but not as far... Read More
Word For The Week is… GOD BLESS YOUR HUSTLE This is not just a finely coined word on the street by the street. It is a word from the Lord. Perhaps it was borrowed from the bible and tweaked forgetting that God will not sue for copyright infringement. Check this out; Psalm 90:17 (NIV) ‘May... Read More
Gorgeous. And that crescendo towards the end. It’s the stuff of joyful days.
Away from the normal fare of Nigerian gospel, Elijah Oyelade – of Glorious God fame – delivered a prayer, so layered, so textured, and grounded in the Bible, that it leaves you amazed. We are amazed. And we are blessed.
Every morning, we’ll share with you a gospel song – mostly Nigerian – that should start your day on the right note. Today’s devotion is from Gbolahan Odukoya. This is so beautiful, delicate and almost fragile. Sounds like a love song. There’s a sense that “God is completely in control,” when watching/listening. The... Read More
We found this video – and it’s remarkable that, decades after the good bishop, the challenge is the same.

In the manner of the Convention, Monday Night is tagged, “Honour Night”, where men and women who have laboured for the cause of the Kingdom are honoured. Last year the late Archbishop Benson Ihadosa... Read More
by Damilola Fowowe As usual Church Crawler duties took us to Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM). It’s a Pentecostal church known popularly for prayers. Since we are still in the youth bracket, the youth Church was where our dove rested. Praise and worship was very funny. The sister that led would pass as... Read More
The 2017 edition of the West African Faith Believers Convention (WAFBEC) began on Friday evening at The Covenant Place, Iganmu. Though the service kicked off at 5:15pm as against the scheduled 5pm time, it went into full swing immediately and increased in tempo by the minute. The prayers which centred on thanksgiving lasted for 15... Read More

We run a church blog here, yeah? Anyone who has read this blog knows that we are fully engaged especially on Protestant matters, with special experience in Pentecostal Christianity, with more than 50 years post born-again experience between us. Yet only one of us had heard about Apostle Johnson Suleiman of the Omega Fire Ministries... Read More
by Femi Aribisala The salvation popularly preached in the churches is not the salvation of Jesus Christ. The notion that Christians are already saved is beguiling, bewitching and illusory. Paul says we are saved without works. (Ephesians 2:9). Then he enjoins us to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12). However, there... Read More
In 2017, I’ve been to only three churches and I have enough predictions or prophecies (as we Christians call it) to last till my name changes to Grandpa. Everyone has something to say about this year. You can also be sure there is a word for you this year. Don’t be too shocked if a... Read More
by Damilola Fowowe This Sunday, Church Crawler duties took us to Chapel of Christ our Light, University of Lagos. It’s the official church of the University of Lagos. We are still confused as to what kind of church it is. We can’t say whether it was a Catholic, Pentecostal or Orthodox. Let’s just say it... Read More
It’s no news that the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) pastor, Enoch Adeboye had a reason to step down from his position as the church’s General Overseer in Nigeria about a week ago, but not many knew the details of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN) code that forced him out. So we... Read More
This happened last month, but it bears thinking through. Mike Bamiloye, who popularised Christian filmmaking via Mount Zion Ministries, is suddenly up in arms when the same thing he championed – using entertainment to bring people to God – is extended by other people with other talents, in this case, comedy. He used film. They... Read More
Airplay, cumulative YouTube views, church rotation, and the sterling Nathaniel Bassey brand come together to give him the inevitable Number One spot, a spot we doubt he will lose anytime soon. Bassey has released hit after hit constantly over the past two years, and Incredible Love from him takes number two because of that fact.... Read More
We pick his piece from here and under are the 6 points church leaders need to pay attention to if their institutions must last time’s test. Since we are being silly. “In keeping other peoples’ money, you have to prepare account. That is why churches fought me so badly, took me to court as a person... Read More
Until Pastor E.A. Adeboye stepped down as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), one of Nigeria’s largest and most influential leaders few days ago, very few Nigerians had heard of the Corporate Governance Code of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRC) which forced “Daddy G.O” to relinquish his office....

We got a copy of Obiwon’s latest album ‘Floodgates’ and we are totally in love. And it got us thinking: Why have we always under-rated Obiwon? Not because he hasn’t been successful. He has known success, and both ‘Obi mu o’ and ‘Onyinye’ were secular hits. But did they achieve the level of mass hysteria?... Read More
by Damilola Fowowe This Sunday, Church crawler in our usual manner took shop to Regina Mundi Catholic Church, Lagos. We couldn’t storm the service as we normally do because we figured things are done in a more orderly manner here. Apparently, there’s a far distinction from the Pentecostal way of worship. But you can trust... Read More
As we were worshipping, it just struck me that the worship is beyond the lyrics. Yes, if you attend church you must have heard the phrase a couple of times. Apparently, I did not know some of the songs (so much for my boast on gospel songs). But even in my state, it didn’t matter... Read More
As we are in the season of prophecies, we decided to storm one of the prophetical services around. So we stormed the ‘Thus Saith the Lord’ series organized by The Governing Church. It’s a series of prophetical services and today wraps it with a worship and prophetic night. So we would be treated to another... Read More
