THE DAY THEY BROKE THE HOUSES
“They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.” Psalm 74:7 Twenty-four years. That is how long Henry Townsend had given to Abeokuta by 1867. He arrived in 1843 to a warm reception from Sodeke, the Egba war commander, who told him […]
THE WHITE MOTHER HAS COME!
“I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” Acts 21:13 There was no Ibadan waiting to receive them. There was a war-hardened city of over fifty thousand people, built by refugees from a fallen empire, ruled by warlords who had never seen […]
LIGHT DOES NOT HOARD ITSELF
This ministry carries a name, and I have never for once ever treated that name as decoration. The name is LIGHTBEARERS. Not “light-keepers.” Not “light-admirers.” Not “light-discussers,” gathered in comfortable rooms talking about how beautiful the light is while the dark world outside remains dark. Lightbearers. The name itself is a theological claim, and if […]
WHO ARE JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES & WHO ARE CHRISTIANS?
A group is not CHRISTIAN simply because they use the name “Jesus” or quote the Bible. A group is Christian only if they hold, belief and live by the principles of the TRUE BIBLICAL GOSPEL and the TRUE BIBLICAL CHRIST. In our generation, religious confusion has become so high and even decorated that we have […]
BUILDING A MISSION-MINDED CHURCH
The true measure of a church is not its SEATING CAPACITY but the SENDING CAPACITY because a mission-minded Church understands that SALVATION IS NOT THE FINISH LINE, but the starting point for a global assignment and such a Church intentionally disciples believers to see beyond their personal needs, to the HEARTBEAT OF GOD FOR THE […]
BUILDING A MISSIONARY HEART IN THE NEXT GENERATION
In the few years I have spent as a Christian missionary, I have come to realise that something is missing in many of our churches today. I believe this is one of the key reasons we are seeing fewer grounded and convincing young Christians in our time. If we do not change the narrative, we […]
There Are More Lands To Conquer
In Joshua 13:1, after many years of labour, bringing God’s people to their rest, at an old age, the Lord told Joshua: “…Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.” This is one statement that is capable of disrupting the comfort of anyone who has laboured […]
A Clarion Call To The Church: Go Ye Into Rural Africa
The FIELDS ARE WHITE, not just in the CITIES, but in the forgotten villages throughout RURAL AFRICA. There is a storm brewing in those places, in the souls of young men and women whose lives are gradually slipping off our fingers while we unfortunately hold tightly to routine religion. I know this because I labour […]
