2. Not only does adultery bring dire consequences to one's earthly life, it disrupts one's relationship with God. Isaiah told the people of Israel that this was a consequence of their idolatry: "Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God" (Isaiah 59:2).
3. Because of their sins, the Lord refused to hear their prayers. He said, "When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen" (Isaiah 1:15).
4. There are lots of long-term consequences for engaging in adultery. Even though God forgives adultery, this does not mean He erases the consequences. The danger of the sin of adultery is not that God cannot forgive it, but that adultery destroys marriages & destroys lives.

1. The impunity going under @MBuhari is terrible. At National Directorate of Employment (NDE), the DG was removed on Monday for an unqualified Northerner. In civil service rules, the most senior director will immediately resume as the acting DG until d govt appoints another one.
2. The most senior director is a Christian and an igbo but very competent & hardworking , an unqualified Northern was imposed.
3. For the first time, this rule was broken with dramatic act from the government. A very competent woman was the right & most senior director, was to resume the office as the acting DG, yesterday around 8am, DSS officers with, armed with GUNS, surrounded the office premises
**The Truth behind Sanwo Olu’s proposed cancellation of pension payments to Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode*
Sanwoolu must tell Lagosians the truth behind the proposed cancellation of former Governors’ pensions instead of presenting it like an altruistic action ....
*The facts:* 1. Ex-Governors are being paid humongous pension packages, after their tenors, by a lot of States.
2. The Pension Reform Act of 2004 changed Nigerian Pension system from Defined Benefits to Defined Contributions.
3. This means that private and public sector workers can only be paid pensions from the funds they contributed while in active pensionable work.
1. We have this mindset that church is a place we go to on Sundays. As we get our family dressed, fight through traffic and get a good seat, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that we aren’t just going to church; we are the church.
2. When Jesus said, "... I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" Matt 16:18, He was saying the Church—His chosen people—would not die out. It would be a caring body of believers striving to serve God, do His work & support each other.
3. In 1 Timothy 5, Paul describes the church as people dedicated to doing whatever it takes to reach out and help others. We have a responsibility to serve and help others in need as the church.
*The Oba's Palace we knew before Akiolu was crowned*
How did we get to this level at Isale Eko, Lagos Island?. Well, let us remember how the palace used to be during the time of Oba Adele and Oba Adeyinka Oyekan(Papa).
2. The palace was usually opened from morning till night like a police station or hospital. People go there freely to play football and Papa will be at the balcony watching games and even reward any player that impressed him.
3. People were even allowed to hold parties on the palace ground. However, when Oba Akiolu came he doubled the fence, turned the football pitch to swimming pool, mounted a big fence and gate, put SARS at the gate to block all the Isale-Eko people from accessing the palace.
