Surviving Extremely Hostile Situations

April 15th, 201209:22 AM ET

By Olabode Ososami

A hostile environment represents circumstances in which you sense persistent unusual open or subtle opposition ... even mere appearance is continually despised. Sometimes for causes not always fully appreciated ... and in other times for reasons which are not just known but justified. Hostility may be self-induced – perhaps arising from character...
Doors, Sheep and Goats

April 14th, 201205:27 AM ET

By Olabode Ososami

Satan has power to mess up lives, inflict pain, sorrow and regret. Satan specialises in ruining lives while Jesus mends lives, cleans up our mess and straightens al the crookedness. Jesus saves us from disaster and puts the LIFE of God in us. Jesus repairs and makes our damaged lives whole. But all human beings are like goats – stubborn and rebe...
Why did Christ Rise from the Grave?

By Olabode Ososami

We are in times when the facts are being replaced with fantasy and many theories and philosophies abound to keep mankind in chains forever. But there is truth that sets free, facts that are eternally correct in all situations, places, times and conditions. Someone asked what are the facts about sin? Will we be excused from sins even tho...
Sermon at the Funeral of Whitney Houston

February 18th, 201206:30 AM ET

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...
In memory of Whitney Houston

February 11th, 201211:37 PM ET

By Olabode Ososami

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...
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 ...
Favourite Bible Shopping lists for Christmas

December 23rd, 201112:12 PM ET

By Olabode Ososami

It is the period for lists ... more exactly I mean shopping and gift lists, as malls are crowded with people. Lists are necessary so we do not rely only on our memory for things that are important. Every item on a shopping list has a price, be it a mink coat, Ipad or a Christmas card - and may often require that we forgo something else ...
Levites, Priests, Thieves and the Samaritan

November 29th, 201112:52 PM ET

By Olabode Ososami

Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan to explain who a neighbour is and to analyse our troubled periods; pointing us to Him – true succour in our worst periods. The choice of a Samaritan in this story has always puzzled me, given that the Samaritan is a symbol of syncretism and error, even as the Levite symbolises the careful legalist ...an...
Steve Jobs, Death and the Afterlife

October 06th, 201105:33 PM ET

By Olabode Ososami

Many months ago, I started researching a story on Steve Jobs, looking for perhaps a different Christian perspective to his success, but only found a rare genius and an exceptional technological innovator, born to a Muslim father, adopted and raised Lutheran... later in life going to India to be indoctrinated to Asian religions and mentored by a Bud...
Comeback and Reclaiming Financial Destiny

September 13th, 201107:08 AM ET

By Olabode Ososami

A comeback is the return of a person (usually known to the public) who suddenly became non grata in the mid-point of media interest. Our financial destiny is what God had preordained in His word for which He created us. There are careless actions which resulted in apparently terminal financial paralysis rooted in deeper spiritual is...
