"Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us;"- 2 Timothy 2: 11&12

On this day June 26, 1984, a black man stepped off an airplane in Washington, D. C. It happens  every day. But this was not an incident to shrug at. It was the power of God at work. 

22 years before, on March 20, 1962, that man had gone to prison in Castro's Cuba. His name was Alexander Noble. After preaching a sermon on the origin of sin, he was ambushed and taken to prison where he was tried and convicted of conspiracy to assassinate Cuban leader, Fidel Castro. Cuban security forces interpreted Noble’s sermon, which described Lucifer’s struggle for supremacy, as a veiled reference to Castro’s regime. Noble was therefore sentenced and served over 22 years in prison where he endured hard labour and torture.

Celebrating His Faithfulness

New Every Morning

God's faithfulness is the stronghold of the saints in the race of life. His faithfulness is as sure as the rising and setting of the sun. His faithfulness is everlasting, unending, unwavering, steadfast from one generation to another. We can count on His faithfulness to see us through in the race, journey, sojourn, pilgrimage and adventure of life.

Have some laugh!

How much do you make a day?
A business owner decides to take a tour around his business and see how things are going. He goes down to the shipping docks and sees a young man leaning against the wall doing nothing. The owner walks up to the young man and says, "Son, how much do you make a day?"

The guy replies, "150 dollars."

The owner pulls out his wallet, gives him $150, and tells him to get out and never come back.

A few minutes later, the shipping clerk asks the owner, "Have you seen the UPS driver?? I asked him to wait here for me!"

Let the Games begin

For billions of fans of the game popularly referred to as "footie" here in the UK, we are in for a month of football fiesta and razzmatazz. The footie World Cup is expected to dominate the headlines, tv screen, programme schedules, popular discussions and public analysis in the next one month.

Though the once-in-every-4year tournament, and the biggest sporting event on planet earth kicked-off yesterday at the FIFA World Cup Stadium in the German city of Munich. The World Cup fever (not the sickly fever but the excitement  fever) will gradually spread to all the nations and continents of the world as all the 32 participating countries begin to take the centre stage for their respective matches.

The emotions, passion, excitement, razzmatazz that will be generated during the World Cup, will  translate into different strokes for different folks. For some it will be sheer excitement, huge jubilation and celebration if their team and country wins, but for others it will be dissappointment, anguish, sorrow and anger if their team loses.

It is pertinent to note that the ultimate prize in life is not the 36.5 cm tall, 5 kg of 18 carat solid gold with a total weight of 6.175 kg FIFA World Cup which will be presented to the team and country that emerges as the world champions after the final whistle at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on the 9th of July.

What then is the ultimate prize in life? "Athletes work hard to win a crown that cannot last, but we do it for a crown that will last forever. I don't run without a goal."-1 Corinthians 9:25 & 26

This is the ultimate, unfading and everlasting prize in life. "I run toward the goal, so that I can win the prize of being called to heaven. This is the prize that God offers because of what Christ Jesus has done."-Philippians 3:14

Since Nigeria my beloved country failed to qualify for the World Cup fiesta, may the best team and country win. Hope that is fair enough!

Enjoy the Games.

NB: If you are a student living in and around The University of Glamorgan and Treforest, you are invited to join us and other students at Saron Centre to watch the matches of the World Cup on our big screen in a comfy lounge setting.

A Glorified People

This was the title of the message preached during the Sunday morning Church meeting yesterday at All Nations Church, Cardiff.

Roger Aubrey ministered from the scriptures on the Glory of God and the People of God. The eternal purpose of God is to fill the whole earth with His glory, that every eye shall see the glory of the Lord as the water covers the sea.
