A SLOW FADE  The other day, I saw a movie where a lady who was doing wonderfully well in ministry started engaging in secret sins. Instead of her to check her life and make amendments, she was going about encouraging young ladies never to engage in those things she was secretly doing.  She didn't open up to anyone even when God sent people to her. She continued as if everything was alright.  She found mercy at the verge of death, though she lost her life.  The same could be said of the young man, Samson.  The fall of Samson didn't start the same day Delilah sold him out through his secrets. It all started when Samson decided to go in with a harlot. He didn't know what it means to be a Nazarite. He thought he could do what everyone was doing and still get away with it. He thought he was actually having fun.  Samson was still able to discharge power as usual even after going in with a harlot. He could still do the same thi...

YOU ARE HERE FOR AN ASSIGNMENT BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI There is no one whom God has created that he had no purpose for. Even a child whom everyone terms as a bastard is important in God's agenda. Nevertheless,  a man can decide to go whichever way he wants to go because man is a free will agent. However, we are encouraged to choose the path of life.  Before Samson was given birth to, a prophecy was hanging on his head that he would deliver his people. We can say Samson was born to deliver his people.  I am sure his parents must have made known to him his purpose but he decided to go the other way round. He thought he could live recklessly and still be a Nazarite. He chose to be distracted and he eventually missed it. He died miserably and God sought for a better replacement for him.  Joseph could have decided to go the way of Samson but he chose to be different. He could have slept with the wife of potiphar and his name would not have been he...

JUST A REMINDER BY  TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI If you think you are the only one praying at this time and that others are slumbering, thousands of people are still praying. Do not think in your heart that you are the only one connected. Dearly beloved, if you think you are the only one studying your bible, I tell you that there are dangerous men everywhere that are still committed to studying their bible. Thousands of people are still diligent in the place of studying the word of God for they know their nourishment lies there. Sir, you are not the only one baptized with hunger for God. You are not alone in the business of seeking God. There are some calibers of men you haven't come in contact with who are in relentless pursuit of God. Don't think without you, that mission can't be accomplished. Only God is indispensable. Why do you keep bragging about your contribution to that project? You have only obtained mercy. Why do you think witho...

SHALL WE ALSO DO THE SAME? BY TRAILBLAZER  AREGBESOLA BUNMI There was no record found of where Samson prayed in the book of judges except when he was stripped of his freedom by his enemies. The only prayer he prayed was to die with his enemies. Jesus encourages us to pray so that we don't enter into temptation. A closer look at the mission God called Samson into, we know it is a delicate one which no man can handle successfully except he is a man of unalloyed commitment and devotion to God. A consecrated vessel must know he is a separate entity. It isn't that he is separated from God and his people but he is separated from the world. He will not conform to the world's standard. What then is expected of him? If he is not conforming, he must be transforming by the renewing of his mind. A chosen vessel is a man of the secret place. The secret place is not only known to a chosen vessel  in the days of adversity. Samson who is supposed to be a deliverer ...

DO YOU HEAR GOD SPEAK TO YOU FIRST  BEFORE YOU SPEAK TO OTHERS? BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI I listened to a message one day and the man of God said it takes an humble man not to say anything when God has not spoken. When you are asked to come and address God's people and you haven't received any word from God, it takes humility to say you haven't heard anything from God yet .  A lot of us are not like that. When we are asked to address God's people, you must just have something to say even when the last time you heard Him was two weeks ago. You don't want people to see you as being far. You just want to protect your personality.  Man of God sir, I remembered those times you started, how you would sit for hours studying your bible and even praying before you come up for ministrations.  Hope it's still very fresh how you separated some days for fasting just to spur up your hearing God properly? You took spiritual things serious. ...

DEAR BROTHER, DONT EXPECT GOD'S CALL IF YOU ARE LAZY BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI Before God brought Eve to Adam, he was busy in the garden of Eden. The Bible recorded how he singlehandedly named all the living creatures. He was also tilling the ground, tending it. What work or assignment could be greater than this? May God deliver us from all those lazy brothers which the only thing they know how to do is sit glued to television news and newspaper neglecting their assignment. It is laziness if you go into full-time ministry because you saw the number of carryovers you had in school. Don't say God called you because you see that your pocket is not full of money. Those men God called in the Bible were not folding their hands when God called them. They had what they were doing before God interrupted them. Elisha is a good example in this matter. God will never call a lazy man. Even if you are going into full time ministry, what do you do for a livin...

HEARTS AND INTENTS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI I knew a man long time ago, every time he wants to contribute to God's work, he must announce it to everyone. Everyone will clap and call for him. Now, motive is what matters here. If his motive is to create an image in the heart of men, he has failed already. God is the one who judges the intent of the heart of a man. The heart of a man is desperately wicked that it can even betray the person who owns it. Let the word of God search you and prune you. Any service we render in order to please men has only a reward. And that reward is that you will be paid by that man. God cannot repay you. Eye service is something God goes against. Are you given any task to accomplish? Please do it to the glory of God and not to the praise of men. The best a man can do for you is to applaud you. It is God who commends a man. Stop looking for recommendation from men. Labour silently. Are you called to intercede on behalf of others? pleas...

TRUE LEADERSHIP BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI I have been to some gatherings before and when it is time to get food, the so-called leaders would pack their bags full while some of their followers might not even get anything. But when it is time for assigning chores, they will never participate in it. They are perfect in ordering people around.  Leadership is a call to service.  It is not about lording yourself over others. When some are put in authority, they feel it's all about them. These set of people haven't  understood leadership in any sense.  Others have to be put ahead of you. Imagine a leader whose welfarism is his utmost importance. Give such stuffs to share with others and you see the majority of the stuff landing in their bags. It's none of their business, even if their followers have nothing, so far themselves are contented.  If you are the type that when they know you as a leader is when it is time for your troops to ...

WE NOW KNOW YOUR REAL PERSON BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA We knew you to be vibrant and steadfast before, what really happened?  Why have you decided to misbehave since you saw your desire was not granted?  The brother we used to know will not miss any program for any reason, but now you rarely come for programs. What can we say is really wrong?  The real personality of a man is known when you ask him to sit and learn instead of jumping up and down on the pulpit.  Can you really sit and learn?  The real personality of a man is known when his desire is not granted. Sit and watch his aftermath.  Even though such a person is known to jump around and display some vibrancy, just relinquish him of his position and see what happens next. If he doesn't rebel against the leadership, it means he wasn't actually faking anything. Let him do otherwise, then you know the post or office has been the thing keeping him in check. He was only trying to ...

MESSING UP IS NOT AN OPTION FOR GENERATIONS ARE AFTER YOUR FOOTSTEPS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI I sing it to the ears of people whom I follow that many are we who are after their footsteps, therefore they should not fail God and us. It is to encourage them that they are not alone on the path, several of us are with them. Sir, many are secretly following you, please do not consider messing up. Are you planning secretly in your heart to stop that good work? Remember many are they that are your followers. You don't know whom your kind heart has helped. You don't know who is secretly praying to attain that height you are. What are those things that do not speak well of our profession as a Christian that you are planning to indulge in? Please consider those whose lives you have helped. Consider that person who may get discouraged to serve God because of your instability. I listen to some songs by once upon Gospel artiste. Each time I listen to him, ...

THIS IS BEWITCHMENT OF THE HIGHEST ORDER BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI  We don't have to cite examples of people who were involved in ghastly accidents before we see the need to praise God. What has really happened to us?  Sharing ugly experiences of life in order to get people's attention in the bid to ginger them to pray is not worth it.  In short, throughout your ministrations, no biblical proof to validate your message. You just tell stories throughout. No revelation, no scriptural references. What effect do you think that has on people?  You tell them you have many scriptural references to back up your message but time would not permit you to share with them but time permits you to share irrelevant things. Something must be wrong somewhere.  No wonder the people under you are stagnant. No wonder they can't pray on their own. They have no slightest idea that the word of God is true. They see no reason why they need to study the word...
