MAJOR REASONS WHY YOUNG CHRISTIANS START WELL AND END UP FALLING

If there is one thing that saddens or sickens the heart, It is seeing a person with great potentials starts well and then end badly. This is something that can happen to any one and cuts through all areas of life. For example; in the world of sports, where youngsters such as athletes or footballers who have shown from the onset that they have a bright future, youngsters who had started so well that it seems nothing can ever go wrong. Yet, they end their promising careers because of things such as; a loosed lifestyle or drug abuse. While this is common, In other cases it could be seeing sports men or women getting crippled due to one accident or another and therefore bringing their career to an end, and in other cases due to bad characters or wrong peer group advice/association. While these may be sad, the saddest of all still remains seeing it happen spiritually. Many of us Christians might have seen or experience such cases; it might have happened to people around us, where...

Why Did God Create Us

   I will like to start by pointing out a similar question asked in the Bible by king David in psalm8:3-4 " When I consider thy  heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon  and the stars, which thou hast ordained;What is man, that thou art mindful of him?  and the son of man, that thou visitest him?     Back to the question why did God create us? God who created the heavens and earth with everything in it  needed no human hands to serve him according to Acts17:24-25 " God that made the world and all things  therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven  and earth, dwelleth not in temples made  with hands;Neither is worshipped with  men’s hands, as though he needed any  thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and  breath, and all things;"    He didn't make us inother not to be bored or lonely long before we were created he had company Gen1-26 makes us to know that he was with his son and the holyspirit " An...

All you need to know About Meningitis

Meningitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord known as the meninges. This inflammation is usually caused by an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is usually caused by bacteria or viruses, but can be a result of injury, cancer, or certain drugs Bacterial meningitis is spread from person to person. The bacteria are spread by exchanging respiratory and throat secretions (saliva or spit) during close (for example, coughing or kissing) or lengthy contact, especially if living in the same household. Viral Meningitis If you have close contact with a person who has viral meningitis, you may become infected with the virus that made the person sick. However, you are probably not likely to develop meningitis from the illness. That’s because only a small number of people who get infected with the viruses that cause meningitis will actually develop meningitis. Having meningitis doesn't always m...

Mikel scores first goal for Chinese club

Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel, has opened his goal scoring account in China as he was among the scorers in Tianjin TEDA’s 2-0 win over Chongqing Lifan on Sunday in a Chinese Super League tie. Mikel scored in the 48th minute of Sunday’s game and an own goal from Chongqing Lifan’s Goran Milovic in the 82nd minute sealed a 2-0 win for Tianjin Teda. This is the first win for Tianjin TEDA who started the season on a losing note and then recorded a draw in their second outing of the season. Also in action for Tianjin Teda on Sunday was Mikel’s Nigerian teammate, Brown Ideye, who was replaced in the 65th minute by Dong Wang, as he fired blank. Meanwhile, another Super Eagles star, Odion Ighalo, was on the losing side in the Chinese Super League on Sunday morning as his club, Changchun Yatai were beaten 2-0 at home by Shandong Luneng. Ighalo, who also doubles as Changchun’s captain, led the line for his side, but fired blanks as they suffered yet another defeat which has now ...

The tricks that help some animals live for centuries

Dirty beige with grey-brown stain-like patches, Ming the clam was not much to look at. It did at least get a name, which is more than can be said for most molluscs. Estimated at 507 years old when scientists plucked it from the Icelandic seabed (and killed it) in 2006, the ocean quahog was the oldest known animal to have ever lived. In August 2016, researchers estimated a five-metre-long female Greenland shark had lived for 392 years, making it the longest-lived vertebrate. The mammalian lifespan record belongs to a bowhead whale, thought to have reached the grand old age of 211. Perhaps it is because humans have become so dominant in other respects that we are fascinated by species that outlive us. For biologists, examples of extreme longevity raise fundamental questions about why organisms age and die. And given that they do, why can individuals of some species live for hundreds of years while others get months, weeks or even just days? Humans are relatively long-lived. Some resea...

Governor Fayose Allegedly Diverted Paris club Refund

Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, may have run into fresh trouble with the Federal Government after it was found that he collected the sum of N8.877 billion from the N388.304 billion released to 35 states as refunds from over-deductions on London-Paris Club loans but only paid one out of the eight-month salary arrears he owed workers in the state. Fayose was also said to have paid a curious 13th month salary as bonus while the arrears of seven-month salaries owed the workers were left unpaid. A reliable source in the Presidency, who spoke in confidence with one of our correspondents yesterday, said President Muhammadu Buhari has lived up to his pledge to ease salary crises in all the states by releasing N388.304 billion to 35 states but many of the states failed to abide by the agreement they had with the President that they would give preference to settling arrears of workers’ salaries. The Presidency source said: “The agreement between the Federal Government and the state gove...
