The flesh is a liar – By Femi Aribisala
God is a God of truth. Therefore, we, His children, must not walk in lies. We must walk in the truth. We must not know the voice of a stranger, for the stranger is not of God.

Why rich men can’t go to heaven – By Femi Aribisala
Jesus says: “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” (Matthew 19:24). This means it is impossible for a rich man to go to heaven by the same token that it is impossible for a camel to enter…

Don’t celebrate the coming of the New Year – By Femi Aribisala
Jesus says to His disciples: “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavour, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” (Matthew 5:13).

Daylight robbery in the churches – By Femi Aribisala
Jesus says: “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’” (Mark 11:17). The churches, today’s so-called houses of God, are veritable dens of robbers. Their kingpins are their highfalutin pastors and bishops.

The death of Pentecostal Assembly, Yaba, Lagos – By Femi Aribisala
As a young believer, I was appalled at the cutthroat politics of a church I joined, all revolving around the pastor. After some time, I found it necessary to confront him. I went to see him, as Nathan did with David. (2 Samuel 12).

Pastoral shenanigans: Why pastors don’t go to heaven – By Femi Aribisala
I was a young believer at church in Lagos when I received the gifts of healings. (1 Corinthians 12:9). The owner of the building where the church was situated was one of Nigeria’s pioneer industrialists, a man by the name of Odutola of “Odutola Tyre Soles” fame. He was a multi-millionaire in his 90’s at…

New covenant giving – By Femi Aribisala
What is God worth to us? Is he only worthy of a tithe of our income? Every Christian should be allowed to determine this for himself. Institutionalised tithing limits the generosity of a believer. Once we give 10%, we believe we have fulfilled all righteousness. But this limitation is short-sighted.
