Defining Moments

Defining Moments is about the unusual encounters that various individuals have had with God that changed absolutely everything about their life. Their thought life changed, as did their ministry gifts and their sense of what might be possible in their lifetime. Each person’s worldview also experienced radical transformation, as he or she was positioned to see the “big picture” through God’s eyes. But for most of them, perhaps their biggest paradigm shift came in relation to their idea of the nature of God and their ability to feel His heart for other people. Seeing these things more clearly always carries a summons with it. They said yes to the call of God and, as a result, became people who shaped the course of world history.

Here is the remarkable truth about each of these individuals: not one of them was unusually gifted for such a task. Their gift was God Himself. All of our heroes of the faith were pretty normal people. But that changed when the touch of God upon their lives transformed everything.

The Broker

The last friend was Critz, an old fraternity pal from their days at Cornell when Morgan ran the student government while Critz stuffed the ballot boxes. In the past four years, Critz had served as press secretary, chief of staff, national security advisor, and even secretary of state, though that appointment lasted for only three months and was hastily rescinded when Critz's unique style of diplomacy nearly ignited World War III. Critz's last appointment had taken place the previous October, in the final frantic weeks of the reelection onslaught. With the polls showing President Morgan trailing badly in at least forty states, Critz seized control of the campaign and managed to alienate the rest of the country, except, arguably, Alaska. It had been a historic election; never before had an incumbent president received so few electoral votes. Three to be exact, all from Alaska, the only state Morgan had not visited, at Critz's advice. Five hundred and thirty-five for the chal...

Power, Politics And Death

Before I could reply, there was a command: “Come straight to the Residence.” Even though Colonel Mustapha Dennis Onoyiveta, aide de camp (ADC) to President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, and I were friends and often took liberties with each other, the tone with which he spoke on that night of May 5, 2010, was rather unusual. Curiously, I had just left the same Residence (the official home of the president) where I was to keep an appointment with the First Lady, who, as soon as I arrived, was called upstairs. By the time Mustapha’s call came, I was at my apartment to dismiss the PHCN official I had earlier invited to rectify an electrical fault. While I felt a bit irritated by the commanding tone in his voice, I nonetheless heeded the colonel’s instruction and returned back to the Residence. Click to Download

Abstaining From Sexual Vices

According to experience, observation and research I have found to know that the sin of sexual immorality is one of the most deadlest sins and one which God really frowns at, this sin can take a man from the high level of spirituality and bring him down to the starting point, Since it is a sin against the body it renders the body polluted for The Holy Spirit to dwell in. If a man has The Holy Spirit in him and he keeps committing sexual sins, sooner the person will see that The Holy Spirit will go silent in him because his body which is The Temple of God where The Holy Spirit dwells is now unfit and unclean for such Spirit as Holy as He to dwell in.

History is the harbor of our heritage and the fountainhead of our families. Click Here To Download The Book

After You

The man leans down. ‘Sorry. Hard to hear over the siren. We’ll be at the hospital soon.’ He places a hand on mine. It is dry and warm and reassuring. I’m suddenly panicked in case he decides to let go. ‘Just hang on in there. What’s our ETA, Donna?’ I can’t say the words. My tongue fills my mouth. My thoughts are muddled.
