by Femi Aribisala Know this for certain: if it is popular in the world, then it cannot be of God. God says: “as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:9). Jesus goes even further to reveal that the... Read More

by Femi Aribisala People like me never supported Jonathan until we saw the virulent conspiracy against him. The Yorubas have a proverb. They say: “A witch cried out yesterday and a child died today. Who does not know that it was the witch who killed the child?” Some people have gone to great lengths to... Read More
by Femi Aribisala Beloved Christians: stop calling your pastor “Daddy.” You must have no other Father but God. Pastor Adeboye of Redeemed Church testified that for some time all his children were girls. When he finally had a boy, he quickly became his favourite child. But one day, the boy fell sick. The more Adeboye... Read More
by Femi Aribisala From experience, the South-West has learnt to survive without political power at the centre. How then can the same Bola Tinubu who schemed Mulikat Akande, a Yoruba candidate, out of being the Speaker of the House of Representatives now tell us that the future of the South-West depends on a Yoruba man...

by Femi Aribisala I could not believe my ears. “Knock the house down?” I protested. “This house cost one billion naira to build.” My nemesis was completely unimpressed. He smiled at me in that enigmatic manner of his that drives me up the wall. “Do you not see all these things?” he asked. Assuredly, I... Read More
by Kayode Jason Unlike Aribisala, I cannot lay claim to have pastored a church but as a church goer I know that God blesses us primarily for the promotion of His kingdom on earth.

by Femi Aribisala The Adamawa State legislature could do the state and country a favour by impeaching the mischievous governor. Barring that, the president should remove Nyako under the emergency rule proclaimed in the state and a military administrator should be appointed to replace him. Vice-Admiral Murtala Nyako is the Governor of Adamawa State.... Read More
by Femi Aribisala It was also reported that Pastor Matthew used the church’s visa card to buy a timeshare apartment in Florida. In contravention of British charity law, church payments were made to his private companies which were operated from church premises. Bishop David Oyedepo says poverty is not of God. He insists a child... Read More
by Femi Aribisala Therefore, the election will go as usual according to plan. Goodluck Jonathan will not only win in 2015, he will do so by a “moonslide.” The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria entitles the president to run for a term of four years renewable for another four. This means, barring death... Read More
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
by Femi Aribisala Sometimes in Nigeria to be progressive is regarded as meaning to be against corruption. Can the APC be said to be an anti-corruption party? The answer is a capital “No!” APC’s definition of “progressive” is one where it is, to all intents and purposes, a Muslim party. Three well-worn parties in Nigeria,... Read More
by Femi Aribisala Don’t be deceived: money is never the true cost of a thing. Money is not a currency of the kingdom of God. The kingdom currency is righteousness. The cost of your car is not how much money you paid for it. The cost is how much righteousness you had to forsake in... Read More
by Femi Aribisala How much is a human-being worth in Nigeria? Not more than the cost of a hearty meal in a “mama-put.” If you want someone killed, you don’t have to break the bank. You can get a contract-killer for as little as 1,000 naira and the job will be done. I JUST returned... Read More
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. A colleague brought a fourteen year-old girl to see me. Apparently, her mother’s prophet had a horrific dream about her portending great... Read More
by Femi Aribisala There can be no doubt that the principal beneficiary of this PDP/APC merger is President Goodluck Jonathan. Contrary to all expectations, it seems the man’s good luck is never-ending. By this merger, he has secured his primary ambition: an easy passage to another four years come 2015. THE sudden decision to merge... Read More
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). He uses them to wake us up when we are complacent, too relaxed and are not paying enough attention to him. He uses... Read More
by Femi Aribisala In the same manner that we have elections every four years, we can have these Bar Beach “send-off parties” every five or six years. This process would ensure that the fear of Bar Beach would quickly become the beginning of wisdom for our teeming misleaders. AS the crème de la crème of... Read More
by Femi Aribisala Since only God is able to do this, dreams become one of the things that affirm conclusively that our Lord is God. Jesus says: “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe that I am he.” (John 13:19). [READ: Femi Aribisala: How... Read More
by Femi Aribisala In a slow but steady manner, South Africans are beginning to entrench themselves into key facets of the Nigerian economy. From aviation to banking to construction to entertainment to revenue collection to telecoms; South African companies are staking a very forceful claim to Nigeria. Nigerians are so overwhelmed by the inadequacies of... Read More
by Femi Aribisala Those who seek God in their heart-of-hearts are inclined to receive dreams of the Almighty. Moses says: “You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; besides him there is no other.” [READ: Femi Aribisala: How to determine if your dream is of God (Part 1)]...

by Femi Aribisala Our Niger-Delta brothers should not get too carried away by their oil. If their oil is a national resource today, so will Northern agriculture and agro-allied industries be national resources tomorrow. Oil is a wasting asset. IN 2005, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank forecast that Nigeria will be the 20th largest economy in... Read More
by Femi Aribisala Many people dream but don’t understand their dreams. Without the correct interpretation, a dream is useless. Without interpretation, Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams would have been worthless. Without interpretation, Pharaoh’s dream would not have preserved life. In the scriptures, God often spoke to people through dreams and visions. Jacob’s life was radically impacted by a... Read More
by Femi Aribisala Even the bitterest adversaries of the Igbo cannot but admit that, as a people, they are very resourceful and ingenious. Indeed, this has often been the cause of their envy and dislike by others. However, more enlightened non-Igbo Nigerians see this as a cause for celebration. AMONG the different ethnic groups in...

by Femi Aribisala With Jesus as sole pastor, there would be no grounds for denominationalism. We would have fellowships in different places, but the one called Christ Embassy would not need to be at loggerheads with the one called Household of God. Churches would not be the personal empires of different self-seeking men as we... Read More
by Femi Aribisala The last thing a country needs is a CBN governor who talks frivolously. The word of a CBN governor has implications for financial market volatility; therefore he must mark his words. He must speak with confidence and precision. Not so with Lamido Sanusi. One of the more annoying things about Nigeria is... Read More
by Femi Aribisala In the Old Testament, when the bible speaks of pastors, it is often in condemnation. Ezekiel castigates them as self-centred and egocentric. (Ezekiel 34:2-4). Jeremiah says as a result of their incompetence, the sheep of God have gone astray. (Jeremiah 50:6). How does God intend to remedy the situation? The answer lies... Read More
by Femi Aribisala However, the emergence of the APC is likely to heighten corruption and not lessen it, as the PDP offers money to defectors to come back, to APC members to defect, and to PDP members to stay put. IN its days of arrogance, when some of its members boasted they would rule Nigeria... Read More
by Femi Aribisala I remember one occasion when Zoe president, Patrick Anwuzia, was visiting the church, we were required to raise a “love offering” for him. But then the pastor insisted it had to be in either dollars or pounds sterling. He asked for public pledges but when nobody responded, he called people up at... Read More
by Femi Aribisala If APC wins the election in 2015, Boko Haram terrorism will stop, perhaps because APC members have a special relationship with the terrorists; the same way Goodluck Jonathan is alleged to have a special relationship with Niger Delta militants. But if APC does not win the election, the insecurity in the country... Read More
by Femi Aribisala One of those things I questioned was Jesus’ statement to his disciples that many of them would not die until they saw the kingdom of God. But, I thought, all his disciples are dead. According to church history, all but one was martyred. And yet, the kingdom of God has still not... Read More
