Image

SHOULD WE BLAME GOD FOR GIVING US GRACE?

Image
    I realize that even in the earliest of times, man had developed a knack for blaming others for their misfortunes . Adam begins by blaming Eve for giving him the fruit so even though he knew better, it must have been her fault. You often hear the argument that we are not under law but under grace but what does it mean to be under grace and does this mean we no longer have to obey the Ten Commandment law? does it means we should lie, kill and  fornicate because no instant judgement for this? It sounds so funny to me when i hear people say even if a witch kills you or if you use to be an adulterer, that there is always GRACE when such person repent. So this has made most people derive pleasure in SIN all because their is grace.  First let's define what sin is according to the Bible. 1 John 3:4 “ Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. ” Therefore, if there is no Law then there can be no sin, an...

''Ibinabo is just a small girl'' – Mr Ibu Fires Back

Image
Comedy actor, John Okafor, has fired back at the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Ibinabo Fiberesima, calling her a “small girl.” Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, said Ibinabo just registered as a member of AGN only when she became interested to rule the Rivers State chapter of the guild. “I was the chief coach for AGN for four years. If I’m not a member, why would I be appointed? She is just looking for something to hold. The issue is that she is a small girl, she doesn’t know anything and I was trying to correct her but she was seeing it as if I was abusing her. “I am not abusing her; she is a good person, I must tell you. But she does not know what administration is all about, she should leave it. I’m only respecting her because of the people who are connected to how she became the president of the Guild, otherwise I would have told her straight that she can’t do it. “How can she be the president of...
