I Knew I Would Write... (2)

• Since we are in the era of committees and sub- committees looking into ''matters of national importance'' of committees.  Pray tell, who or what looks into the committees that looks into the sub- committee?

#of cluelessness and other things!#

Abeg make we talk one thing!

•  Just when we are (still) trying to figure out how to pay Iya Silifa, Baba Semiu et al by POS, out came the huge distraction of  the  N5,000 note! Some of us understand it was just a lousy attempt to camouflage the failure of the cashless thingy...OK, so now that the N5,000 note dream is truncated, can we return in peace to the confusion of the other that we have since been left with?    

Lest I be accused of, ''the appalling nescience of today's high schoolers concerning international and local affairs. '', I draw no further mention of the matter. What do I even know sef ? After all, I am not an alumni of International University of Africa, The Kennedy School of Government or of Wharton College...

• I recently watched (again) the miniseries, Roots . My first encounter with it was as a teenager and a non- Christian. Suffice it to say it triggered obvious somber thoughts like man's inhumanity to man, history and its many biases vis- a- vis what the truth is and what it (may) not... Much more, it displays the extent of man's depravity especially when it is not curbed and in all, I reckon that we who have been greatly forgiven are so obliged to deal with the daily failings of others... 

"Everyone says forgiveness is easy until they have something to forgive". Yet, Jesus' words, ''first be reconciled to thy brother". His direction is clear. He says to go the way indicated to (me) you by the conviction given at the altar; have an attitude of mind and a temper of soul to the one who has something against (me) you that makes reconciliation as natural as breathing. Noteworthy is the fact that Jesus didn't mention the other person, He says - you  go.  There is no  question of your rights.

The stamp of the saint is that he can waive his own rights and obey the Lord Jesus - Matthew 5:23 , John 14:15 , Luke 6:46#selah...#

• In June 2012, when that air disaster happened in Lagos, Nigeria; it was both a humbling period and a very sad one for me. First off, where that happened was quite close to where I live and on board that ill-fated plane, was one of my office directors that I had seen at his desk just the Friday before that Sunday! Not to mention the many households that will not be the same again because of the colossal loss! Secondly, to think that I was airborne on the said day going to the same direction that plane was coming from?! I have so many reasons to wonder and shudder at God's sovereignty. And how I know for a surety that still being alive (or not)  is totally not the mortal man's brief!  

“Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.”― John Piper

• So I recently read of a particular Pastor's kid (male) and his male partner got married recently and were joined in unholy acrimony by the latter's father! Seriously?... Are the true Christians here reading this still doubt the words from the Good books that reads, ''Because iniquity shall abound, THE LOVE OF MANY SHALL GROW COLD" (Matthew 24:12)''?

#Just so you'll know that Jesus Christ is both the lamb that takes away the sins of the world and He is a lion that will judge sin!#
