Say No to Bribe

And thou shalt take no bribe: for bribery blinds the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. - Exodus 23:8

Can you help someone without asking for something in return? Can you as a man help a lady without not asking her out? Can you award a contract without asking for gratification? Can you carry out your job functions without not taking kickback? Can you be n impartial referee in a game without be partial?

Yesterday, series of events happened but one of the one that stood out for me is  an event when series of young men and women refuse to take bribe in this times, in this recession, in this age. It really brought smiles to me.

Corruption has really dented the image of the country Nigeria to the extent that trust is fast eroding. Virtually every sector of the country has this monster call corruption fighting them. But I have come to discover, the problem doesn't just lie with the leaders but also the followers. If you re not corruption free as a follower, you will be corrupt as a leader.

So many people has given up on the project called, 'Nigeria'. I was happy to see that corruption free people exist not because they are paid well or they are been watched (far from it). They have the fear of God in them.

I beleive in a New Nigeria, a Nigeria where the police would stop collect bribes from drivers on the highways, a Nigeria where my kids would get admission into colleges without knowing a high ranking officer. A Nigeria where Justice, Truth and Peace shall prevail. It begins with me and you not collecting bribes and doing our job with the fear of God.

Say NO to Bribes! Say NO shobby contracts work! Say NO to Stealing Public Money! Say Yes to a Corruption free Nigeria.

It's another day. Smile to people around you. Greet them and say 'hi'...

It will be a good day for you. It will be a memorable positive day for you. Today, You will rejoice. Every evil in this day over you is removed in Jesus Name.

Good Morning and do enjoy this wonderful day...

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

If Men Were God

He sends  rain  on the just and on the unjust. - Matthew 5:44 It's raining as I type this post and I remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:45 where he talks about  God sending the rain on both the just and unjust. God won't because are a sinner or a bad personal withdraw the rain from Falling on your side. One special trait we are to emulate from God is that we should not discriminate. If men were God, the rain will be raining only on the good, the sun will be shinning only on the perfect. We humans readily discriminate, we isolate those we feel are not perfect or good. We see those who have sinned as been candidates of hell as if we haven't sinned before. One major problem of our society is discrimination. Even in church, we discriminate, we see that prostitute and we readily condemned her. We readily forget that as children of God, we don't just do good to good people, we are to do good to everybody. It doesn't matter how bad a person might be, you ...
