Money, Marriage and the Bible

February 24th, 201203:16 PM ET

By Olabode Ososami

There are many questions that Christians ask concerning money and marriage. How do you for example recognise a gold-digger? Should you trust inner voices that are not backed by the expressed word of God in marriage? Does the Bible command that accounts be joint to be in unity? If God directed Hosea in marriage to a prostitute, can...
Sermon at the Funeral of Whitney Houston

By Olabode Ososami

A private funeral is set for Saturday, today in the New Jersey church where Houston first showed off her exceptional singing talents as a child. This would have been an unsolicited exhortation at her funeral. I would have chosen Steve Green to sing an old song (Words and Music by Greg Nelson and Phill McHugh) with a powerful message “ Peopl...

Duncan Campbell (1898 - 28 March 1972) was a Scottish preacher, who led the Hebrides Revival, a mid-20th century religious revival in the Scottish Hebrides. It is interesting to note the perspective of this man even at a time when methods were generally mild compared to these days and when a Christian experience similar to ...

It was shocking to hear of the passing of one of the most celebrated female singers of all time even though her image was ravaged by drug use ... indeed few voices were as glorious as Whitney’s. I posted an article “unusual victory at your lowest point” in February 2010 inspired by a Whitney Houston hit. I have republished i...

By Olabode Ososami

Archaeological findings and specimens suggest strongly that there once was a race of super humans, so large in general features that we could refer to them as giants. In Genesis 1 verses 1&2 we read two verses that have been interpreted to suggest several unknown years apart. For reasons unknown to us God deemed it wise to reveal only det...

Money, the Bible and Eradication of Poverty

February 06th, 201208:49 AM ET

By Olabode Ososami

A message that does not contribute to the eradication of poverty and empowers the deprived in the community, spreading country wealth cannot be the good news that Christ was anointed to preach ... at best it is a contemporary sectarian heresy of the advantaged class or another subtle tool of oppression, in that it excludes Christ all together. In ...
Money and the Bible (Part 2)

February 04th, 201211:57 PM ET

By Olabode Ososami

God is a great restorer and a great provider. He does not forget those who have given even when men have. The Bible also helps us to see that famines are called by God. There is hardly any famine mentioned in the Bible that is not shown as an instrument in the hands of God to get His own children to repent. God does not need to se...
