I have always wondered if really the times for the coming back of Jesus is completely sealed from everyone. The Sunday school taught us clearly that nobody knows the time that Jesus would come back to take His people away from this world. We were often told that He could appear this night or before you wake up the next day. It was a beautifully fearful reason to walk uprightly. All that changed when I got to the University and my heart began to long for Jesus to come. Since then, I have heard several things about the coming of Jesus back again to this world. My thought pattern changed from "Jesus can come any time o" to "Jesus is not coming now joor" to "Jesus is almost here", which I currently carry. There is a basis for all these thought patterns, but I prefer to hold on to the last one. Two bible characters always puzzle me anytime I read or hear about them. They are Simeon and Anna. Quite unpopular in Sunday school. These two bible characters ...

When I got my call up letter for NYSC, I had many worries. I have never been to Northern Nigeria before, so this was the first time I would be leaving home for a very long distance like Plateau state. The excitement of going to serve my nation was high, but I had many worries. Worries are questions in our mind that we don't have answers to. I wondered how it was going to look like and I had no answer. Traveling don't excite me so, I avoid them as much as possible, but I couldn't avoid this and I didn't have enough finance to take a flight, so I had to board a bus. The position of my legs alone was enough to add to my many worries. Due to my 'traveling allergy', I decided that I would stay back and find my way out after the 3 weeks orientation camp. It was a great risk and I knew that. It gave me so many worries. Where would I stay after the camp? Who would feed me after the camp? What would happen after the camp? During the camp, my roommates kept on ...

Okay, it's December 10. All the suspense is over. Some people couldn't manage the suspense at all to the extent that they almost got angry when I refused to tell them about the day. Well, December 10 is finally here and I am very pleased to invite you all to celebrate with me. On December 10, 2015, I was in Mangu LG in Plateau state on NCCF assignment. I was in the room with Ariwayo Tosin, Dauda Ali Manu and Odoba Olajide. We were discussing about the website of the fellowship when I just felt it was time for me to also an online presence that is different from the social media accounts I already had. I tried opening a simple site, but instead of getting things work out, I was losing money. So, I decided to go for a space on blogspot. I opened a blog that night on my phone and like they say, they rest is history. The blog is 2 years old today and I am very grateful to God forvhow He has led me all the way. It has been exciting for me and a lot of my friends who are con...

I am Folakemi Jeremiah Osokoya. I graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University in 2014. I was privileged to serve as the assistant welfare coordinator of the Chapel Youth Fellowship of All Souls' Chapel. There is a difference in the ease of walking with God on campus and outside campus. The atmosphere on campus wouldn’t let one loose touch with God though it’s still a personal decision. I had opportunities of hearing hard core words. Outside the University, I took three things very serious and they are His word, worship and staying in the midst of believers. I noticed sometimes ago, people who used to be 'firebrand' / fellowship 'ogas' at least  they had children/ unit member / follow ups to do then in school sha. After school, their stand is not always known again, they too mix the world with the Word and 'flex' as the world is flexing. They could still be on the 'path' but, what they could not do in school or what they talked against, they no...

Hmm, what has kept me in the faith after my school. This is actually a simple but difficult question. Actually, several things have helped to keep me growing in the faith after campus but I will love to keep it as simple as possible. Presently I can think of five major, they could be more than that but these are the ones I obviously employ for my personal spiritual growth. 1.Desire, Diligence and Hunger to Grow: I understood from scriptures that, at new birth I receive the nature of God that has the ability to love God. This nature of God which is the Holy Spirit create a void for God on the inside and help me to want to know God more. However, the Holy Spirit is a perfect gentleman who will not force me to respond to this promptings, but without due diligence to keep this fire of this desire burning, it may go off with time, that's why the Bible warned me in Romans not to quench the fire of the Spirit. More so, I realized that, for every growth, there must be feeding and ...

'A man that lives without discipline will die without honor' is my favourite quote of all times. This quote explains why I don't compromise discipline, no matter the ecstasy of the moment. Olusola Femi Isaac popularly known as Ayanfeoluwa hails from oyan in Osun State, He gave his life to Christ on the 9th of may 2008 in an Holy Communion Service of the RCCG Northern Workers and Ministers Conference in Jos Plateau State. Prior to this time, he had been a church boy but the truth of the cross was not clear to him. In 2009, he was admitted to SLT Dept of Federal Polytechnic Ede in Osun State, Southwest Nigeria to study Microbiology. He joined Gospel Students Fellowship on campus. In 2010, he became the bible study and Academic coordinator of the fellowship. In the year 2013 he became the fellowship President as well as the Joint Christian Campus Fellowship (JCCF) Bible Study Coordinator. Ayanfe enjoyed the faithfulness of God in combining the spiritual responsibilities...

My name is Ibitola Adesola olutola. I graduated from the University of Ilorin, Kwara State in 2015. When I was on campus I attended Methodist Campus fellowship (MCF). I joined the fellowship from my first year. I was made an executive in my second year and I remained an executive till final year. The post I held then was Bible study coordinator from my second year till my final year. I was also the worker's secretary from my third year till my fourth year which was my final. Also, I was also the final year brethren coordinator. After I graduated in 2015, I felt as if I was free from the many responsibilities, but I was wrong because not too long I realised that my spiritual development and walk with God has just started and I needed to do more. It is very easy to forget to study and pray, because I don't have responsibilities again. But I can say that by the Help of God, I have been able to improve on my spiritual life/walk with God on daily basis. When I was in sc...

My name is Emmanuel Adelu and I graduated from Tai Sola University of Education in 2013. I attended CACYOF and I was privileged to serve as the Head of Technical Department. These are the things l do presently to keep myself with God: First of all, l want us to know that it's not by might, nor power, but by the Spirit of God (Zec 4vs6). We need to also know this; to keep oneself with God required a lot of discipline because, we must keep the body under the subjection of our recreated human spirit. Therefore, l do these daily: 1. When I wake up in the morning, l pray in tongues for at least an hour, sometimes l start my day with worship, sometimes l study for 40 minutes or an hour before prayer. There are times l engage in prayer walk on the street early in the morning, it doesn't stop here. 2. On my way to my place of work, it is either l'm praying in tongues or listening to anointed audio message or spiritual music. Also, whenever l'm free in the place of ...
