THE WORD FOR TODAY

09 Apr 2015 SOMEONE IS ALWAYS WATCHING YOU 'Let your light so shine before men...' Matthew 5:16 A reporter once said to Joe DiMaggio, the famous baseball player, 'You always seem to play with the same intensity. You run out every grounder and race after every fly ball, even when the Yankees have a big lead in the pennant race and there's nothing on the line. How come?' DiMaggio replied, 'I always remind myself that there might be someone in the stands who never saw me play before.' That's the kind of unselfish mindset you must maintain in order to influence others for good and for God. It takes energy and intentionality, whether one-on-one or in a group, but it pays dividends. Nicodemus, a Jewish leader, was drawn to Christ because he'd listened to His teachings and observed His works from afar. He may have come to Jesus at night to avoid ridicule, but the fact is, he came because he couldn't stay away! (John 3:1-21). The Bible says you're '...a letter that anyone can read by just looking at you...' (2 Corinthians 3:2 TM). Today someone is watching how you handle problems; how you treat your family and your employees; how you act when the boss isn't around; how you respond to criticism or temptation. Don't disappoint them. Jesus said: 'You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven' (Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV).

Rivers’ abracadabra and INEC’s deafening silence

By Uche Igwe

That the results of the presidential election were allegedly manipulated in Rivers State was not completely a surprise to many. What were surprising was the clinical scale of the act and the stupendous audacity of its perpetrators. I was there and saw things for myself. It happened as though it was a well-planned, well-funded and rehearsed endeavour. I wonder why other political parties like the All Progressives Congress did not see them coming.

Letter to Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo, By Tolu Ogunlesi

President Buhari should under no circumstances allow himself to be cast as a Fulani President, or a President of northerners or Muslims. Vice President Osinbajo should never succumb to the temptation to see himself as a Vice President for Yoruba people, or the Redeemed Christian Church of God, or for Nigerian Christians. Goodluck Jonathan and Namadi Sambo sadly saw nothing wrong in using religion to divide the country; Jonathan taking delight in running from church to church, posing with Pastors and Bishops (he even managed to squeeze in a photo-splashed pilgrimage to Jerusalem), while his party tried to portray Muhammadu Buhari and the APC as Islamists, Sharia apologists, ‘Janjaweed’ and even the political wing of Boko Haram. During the presidential campaign Vice President Sambo reversed the strategy, and did all he could to convince us he was the next in line to Prophet Mohammed, in the Islamic pecking order. (From him we learnt that ‘Namadi’ actually means ‘Na Madinah’, and that Osinbajo was on a mission to Christianise Nigeria).
