WHAT THE GOSPEL IS ALL ABOUT

-

True Gospel Is About:
  • Telling man that there’s nothing good about him
  • Letting man know his real self is wretched through and through, debauched all around, and evil continually.
  • Reminding him that his sinful nature is constantly at war with God
  • Warning man the only escape from God’s judgment and wrath to come is to run to Jesus, begging for mercy
  • Telling man that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord
  • God sending his only begotten Son to take upon Himself the punishment that is due for man’s iniquities
  • Exhorting man to deny himself, nail the flesh to the cross, and die to self
  • Pointing man to Jesus Christ, the Savior of our soul

True Gospel Is Not About:
  • Motivational speech to assuage man’s self-esteem
  • Pumping up man’s ego by telling him he is a giant on the inside ready to be discovered
  • Encouraging man to take charge and take control of his life
  • Teaching man how to use God to achieve his dream.
  • Serving men platitudes to tickle their canal minds and make them feel good about themselves.
  • Putting on a show to thrill the crowd
  • Promising a blissful temporal existence. 
  • Guaranteeing absence of pain and suffering, 
  • Assuring victory over sickness and disease
  • Banishing poverty and lack
  • Educating man how to gain the world and lose his soul

FACT CHECK: DID BOLA TINUBU CALL FOR REDUCTION OF NIGERIANS’ PURCHASING POWER?

By Akin Ojumu  With respect to Bola Tinubu’s presidential aspiration, my position is pretty clear. Those who’ve been following my various commentaries on this issue know very well that I’m not a fan of Bola Tinubu and his unscrupulous campaign to become the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  My opposition to Bola Tinubu’s candidacy is visceral and intense. The man is a clear and present danger to the well-being of Nigeria, if he ever becomes president. BAT is an advanced metastatic cancer rapidly growing and spreading in the Nigeria polity. If the country must survive, this deadly cancer must be treated as all advanced cancers are treated; radical excision combined with several courses of radiotherapy and multiple cycles of chemotherapy cocktail in addition to the clearing of all associated lymph nodes. Now, there’s one thing I detest as much as Bola Tinubu’s presidential run, and that’s fake news. I cherish the truth, it’s the compass that guides us to safe shores. Wi

BECAUSE JOB DIDN’T TITHE, HIS LIFE BECAME TIGHT

By Akin Ojumu Being the trust-but-verify guy that I am, while fact-checking a social media post by one of my High School friends, in which Bishop David Oyedepo was quoted to have linked the adversity of Job to his tithing habit, I was shocked, but not at all surprised, to find a 2019 video that did indeed confirm what my good friend shared.  In Bishop Oyedepo's telling, the real cause of Job's afflictions was his failure to pay tithes. According to him, God removed Job's divine security and allowed Satan to buffet him with calamity because the man was a habitual tithe defaulter. Because Job didn't tithe, his life became really tight. Here is the Bishop in his own words: “You can't see anywhere where Job tithed. So, his blessing was not secured. You can't find anywhere where Job tithed. No! He was overly committed to giving liberally to the poor and God was committed to bless him. But there was no security.” Just so it's absolutely clear. Bishop Oyedepo's

By Akin Ojumu Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a stranger to Nigerians. The man with the Graves Disease eyes has been around a long time. BAT is a vector of deadly viral disease of pandemic proportions. He is a parasite that takes over everything his hand touches.  The following is just a sample of what Bola Tinubu, allegedly, did to Lagos State: Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (Formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi – Valued at N450 Million A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land was Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979 Certificate of occupancy was signed and released to Tinubu by Fashola in 2007 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi – Valued at N600 Million Originally claimed to be by Oando Plc Guest House, it was later acquired by Tinubu from Oando Lagos State Government paid to rebuild and renovate, it then purchased it from Tinubu for an undisclosed sum. Subsequently, the State handed the property back to Tinubu under the Pension Bill he signed into law shortly before Tinubu left office in 2
