Obafemi Fawibe: Whose prayer does God answer? (Y! Superblogger)

It is obvious that we all make our requests to the same control room and expect favourable answers. However with the variety of requests bombarding the prayer desk, whose prayer does God really answer? The irony in life is so funny yet thought-provoking. Theology reveals that we have a supreme being that designs and predetermines... Read More

Aziza Uko: How does God speak to us? (Y! Superblogger)

God’s imagination is fascinating. He is an intriguing person. He cannot be put in a box. As far as we know, God has not told us, “I am the LORD God, I speak like this or I reveal myself like this.” So, it is not possible for any person to make a conclusive statement on... Read More
