Being committed to your loved ones

Image
Charles Ighele Commitment shows the level of responsibility someone has to a cause, a person or relationship. It shows your loyalty level. It shows your devotion and dedication. Commitment is bound to take your time and energy. If you fully love your wife, husband, children, father, mother and all those people you refer to as your loved ones, and you are not taking full responsibility, emotional and practical steps to invest into the relationship, I will not see that as full commitment. When the Bible says the man should provide for his household, it is all encompassing. Provision is not only about food, clothes and shelter or education. It also includes all family needs. It includes emotional needs also. Some people who say they love their families so much and have been doing their best to take care of them have been found to be far from understanding what it takes to be committed to their family. Some of them were never there for the family when they were needed. They nev...

Jesus came to redeem us from the consequences of the fall

Emeritus Prof. Mercy Olumide What has Christ done for sin? Cont’ • The Day of Atonement was to be a solemn assembly, a day in which the people fasted and humbled themselves before the Lord (Lev 16:31). This response emphasised sin’s seriousness and the fact that God’s atoning work was effective only for those who had a repentant heart and a persevering faith (cf. Lev 23:27; Num 15:30; 29:7). • The Day of Atonement accomplished atonement for all sins and transgressions not atoned for during the previous year (Lev 16:16, 21). It had to be repeated every year in the same manner. Christ and the Day of Atonement. The Day of Atonement is replete with symbolism pointing to the mediatorial ministry and atoning death of Jesus Christ. In the NT, the Author of Hebrews emphasises the new covenant fulfilment of the typology of the Day of Atonement ritual (see Heb 9:6-10:18; see article on Christ in the Old Testament). (1) The fact that the OT sacrificial rituals had to be repeated annua...

Focusing on your strength by Wale Olasoji

Image
In the course of coaching and mentoring people, I have discovered that a lot of people struggle in life because they devote a lot of their efforts on improving their weaknesses with little or no time left to unlock their full potentials by getting better in their areas of strength. What defines successful people is not the absence of weaknesses. Rather, it is the elevation of their strength – they develop and project their strength. Everyone has their abilities and disabilities.The more you focus on your abilities, the moreyou live a productive life. Finding your strength can unlock the hidden treasures of success and victory for you. Strengths can be honed like a skill and harnessed like a potential. Your strength is your gift. A clue to your strength is your natural ability. Have you been told that you are talented at something?Then it might be your strength. Strengths and weaknesses are like the muscles in your body – the more you hit the gym or any body-toning exercise,...

Nigerian govt gives real reason for border closure

Image
Nigerian Government on Thursday said that the closure of the country’s land borders was to compel its neighbours to comply with the terms of trade agreements it signed with them. The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, made this known while answering questions from newsmen on the sidelines of the ongoing World Bank/International Monetary Fund meetings in Washington DC. Ahmed said that Nigeria was not getting the required cooperation from its neighbours with regard to adherence to the terms of some of the bilateral agreements they signed, NAN reports. She said that compliance had become more important now that President Muhammadu Buhari had signed Nigeria up to the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA). “We needed to close the borders because we are not getting cooperation from our neigbouring countries. “We have over the years committed to some alliances and bilateral agreements but our neigbours are not respecting them. “T...

NGO advises couples to harness benefits of child spacing

Image
By Doc. Mike  2019-10-17 16:56:13   The Challenge Initiative (TCI), an NGO, has advised couples to harness the benefits of child spacing for effective planned parenthood and child development. The Bauchi State Coordinator of TCI, Mrs Rabi Ekele, gave the advice at the sensitisation programme on maternal and child mortality for community leaders in Bauchi on Wednesday. Ekele said child spacing was hugely beneficial to effective growth of children and future planning. The TCI coordinator said that longer birth intervals reduced the chances of low birth weight, saying “the mother will have time to recover physically after childbirth”. According to her, allowing time before another pregnancy enables the woman to give proper attention to the children. “Birth spacing benefits the family hugely; it can protect the child and the mother against the danger of loss of life. “It improves the health of the child and that of the mother, it promotes family...
