Opinion: God is not a Christian

by Fred Adetiba I hate religion, and I do not subscribe to any. I am not a Christian, but a Kingdom believer who subscribes to the values and principles of the Kingdom of God as taught by Jesus Christ. The average religious mind will shudder upon seeing this title. I cannot overemphasise how much I... Read More

Femi Aribisala: Jesus did NOT come to enhance our status in the world

by Femi Aribisala Don’t assume the life Jesus came to give is the same life billionaire Bill Gates lives. A farmer was living in a remote village.

Opinion: You could be singing and praising your way to hell

by Fred Adetiba Most Pastors expect you to swallow everything they say hook, line and sinker, without asking questions. Some Believers on their own are equally lazy to think and inquire for themselves. There was nothing religious about the publicity materials. Although, one gets the idea of a Christian programme, but they did not contain... Read More

Femi Aribisala: Christians are NOT saved

by Femi Aribisala Don’t be deceived. Salvation does not come from answering an altar-call at the beginning of our Christian walk. It is attained at the end of our earthly relationship with God. God did not send Jeremiah to unbelievers. He sent him to the “Christians” of his day. God told Jeremiah to stand at... Read More

Femi Aribisala: Having sex in your dreams and spiritual warfare

by Femi Aribisala Having sex in the dream is an index of lack of spiritual fervency. This renders us to be a city without walls that the enemy can come into and defile.

Femi Aribisala: Unravelling the mystery of dreams (Part 1)

by Femi Aribisala Some will tell you if the dream is frightening, it is not from God. This is not necessarily true. God occasionally terrifies us with warnings in dreams. (Job 33:16).
