Why the Children of the World Are Wiser in the Ways of the World: How Did Jesus Know That? 

Among many things, Jesus was God in the flesh, and since God knows what good and evil are, He is omniscient.

In the world, at any given time, there are children of light. This light refers to people whose lives are evident for the world to see—those who view the world from an enlightened perspective and are like doves among men.

However, due to the influx of other spirits into the world, various tricks and devices have emerged in the realm of mankind—tricks aimed at acquiring the things of life in ways different from the methods the children of light would use.

It is this arcane understanding of the world’s happenings that led Jesus to make the statement that, in matters pertaining to the world, the children of the world have under worldly and worldly methods of obtaining things for themselves in crafty ways, while the children of light possess ways that may not appear as wise in the eyes of the children of the world.

Governance: How well does it account for "learning on the job"?

Governance: How well does it account for "learning on the job."? In Governance, the stakes are just too high, and every action and inaction has its consequences. When you learn on the job, you're not fully aware of the direct consequences of your inactivity, but everyone else who depends on what your office is meant to do certainly feels it.That’s one of the reasons why elections in democratic settings are so important. Voters should do the job of sifting out candidates who don’t truly understand what the role entails. To be the president of a country, you must actually know everything there is to know about that country, understand how it operates, and grasp the values on which it is built. For a country like Nigeria, the inability to meet this basic standard should immediately disqualify any candidate. However, this knowledge only comes through direct experience ; oral traditions, history reads, advisory roles, and assistance services cannot provide anything close to t...

Breaking Free: The Hidden Forces Behind Wealth and Poverty

Breaking Free: The Hidden Forces Behind Wealth and Poverty Why are wealth and poverty often beyond explanation? While earning money or working for it may have logical steps, the journey from poverty to wealth, or even being born into either condition, is surrounded by mysteries. Reflecting deeply on life reveals some clues, but the full picture often feels elusive. The Unexplainable Nature of Growth Think about it: every person starts as a baby and grows physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for those reborn in faith. But can we truly explain this growth? Sure, good nutrition is a factor, but it's not the whole story. Growth often happens without awareness—an inch here, another there. Even fingernails grow stealthily, requiring constant trimming. Yet, some eat well and don’t grow taller. Is it all just genetics? We often label the unexplainable with words like "genetics" or "ancestry," creating a narrative for what we don’t fully understand. Wealth,...

Selfless Giving

Selfless Giving. The abundant mindset sees continuity in all things, as abundance fosters ongoing prosperity, while the mindset of lack sees an end to everything, as scarcity leads to cessation. Misers live in the consciousness of scarcity and fear that circumstances may one day not favor wealth and prosperity, so they prepare for that possibility. On the other hand, those with an abundant mindset live in the consciousness of plenty and sufficiency; as long as there is oxygen to breathe and life to live, there will always be enough to sustain the needs of someone with an abundant mindset. Becoming a Cheerful Giver Cheerful giving from the heart is one of the best things that can happen to anyone in life. The cost of cheerful giving is high, but whoever pays it enjoys immense blessings. The blessings of Abraham are still evident today. His willingness to offer his beloved son Isaac back to the one who gave him is a testament to this. Similarly, Jesus offered his entire life as a ransom,...
