Some stand alone in the society and live quietly without much clout and influence. Such men do not affect others. The presence of such men does not command much attention. Majority of the people on earth belong to that category. But there are some others who are never seen alone. Even when they seek to be alone, other people always find reason to be around them. Those are men of influence and power. Wherever they appear, such men attract attention because other people would gradually gather around them. Jesus Christ was one of such men. During his lifetime, men always gathered around Him wherever He went. The case in Capemaum was not different. As soon as news went round that He was around, a lot of people gathered to seek him. Those who came to see Jesus did so because He had solution to their problems. those

They own Nigeria? They are immuned to arrest? Is arrest only meant for Biafrans and not for Fulani? Who will arrest Lawal Daura of DSS for flouting court order to re

Thursday, August 10, 2017 Today’s word : 2Samuel 23:13-18 Bible in One Year : 1Sam 17, Rom. 3 Topic: You Will Be Reckoned With In Your Life Time!! Different kinds of people inhabit the world. Some read history while others make history. Those who make history are the minority but they are the ones who determine the course of humanity. The passage above tells a story of some men who translated from ordinary men to mighty men because of their actions. According to an earlier account, when these men came in contact with David, they were not men to be reckoned with (1Sam 22). But after the exploits which they performed, they became henchmen in the cabinet of David. accordingly, their status changed from that of renegades and nobodies to men that were distinguished and revered amongst men. Anyone who wants to become a man or woman of substance must be committed to a cause. Your cause can be your vision, career, belief, etc. Any woman or man that will make any f
