Years ago, I came across a story that left a lasting impression on me. It was about one of Africa’s greatest philanthropists, Chief MKO Abiola. Known for his generosity, Abiola was frequently approached by people seeking funding for their various projects. His office was a revolving door of visitors, all with proposals, hoping to tap […]

Apostle Emmanuel Iren once talked about what I will write today—The Main Character Syndrome. It’s a phenomenon where we unconsciously place ourselves at the center of biblical stories, imagining we are the Abraham, Moses, or Joseph of our time. We often forget that countless others lived during these eras, many of whom played vital, yet

Last night, I was in a meeting led by my good friend, Sir Mike Lanny when he mentioned that “No Egyptian historical record mentions a Pharaoh drowning in the Red Sea”. This fact struck me.
