  • The Story Behind the Hymns.
    THE STORY BEHIND "SOFTLY AND TENDERLY JESUS IS CALLING "

    “Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling” is one of the best-known Christian invitation hymns, written by American hymn writer and composer Will Lamartine Thompson in 1880.

    Thompson was born in East Liverpool, Ohio, in 1847 and became a successful songwriter and publisher. Unlike many hymns that emerged from formal church traditions, “Softly and Tenderly” came from Thompson’s personal desire to create a simple song that would appeal directly to people who needed to make a spiritual decision.

    The hymn’s central message is an invitation: Jesus is calling people to come to Him, return to Him, and receive His mercy. Its gentle words “Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling, calling for you and for me” gives the song its distinctive character. Rather than using threatening language, Thompson presented the call of Christ as loving, patient and compassionate.

    One of the most memorable stories associated with the hymn involves evangelist Dwight L. Moody. Thompson reportedly visited Moody when the evangelist was seriously ill. During their meeting, Thompson told him that he had written the hymn and that he hoped it would be useful in Christian ministry. Moody was deeply moved by the song and encouraged its use in evangelistic meetings.

    After Moody's death in 1899, the hymn became even more widely known through evangelistic campaigns and church services. Over the years, it has been sung at revival meetings, altar calls, funerals and moments of personal reflection. Its enduring appeal lies in its simplicity: a gentle reminder that the invitation to come to Christ is still open.

    More than 140 years after it was written, “Softly and Tenderly” remains a powerful hymn because its message has not changed — Jesus calls, and the invitation is extended to everyone.

  • Let's talk about it.
    “When looking at these four chapters in which Michael appears, we immediately notice that Michael is in conflict with Satan in each of these stories. Michael is the title used for Christ whenever He is at war with Satan. It is also the title connected to Him as the chief of the angels, or leader of the angels. Lucifer was next only to Christ, or Michael, among the angels. Christ’s title as Michael is a reminder that Lucifer rebelled against the chief of the angels and desired to be like God.

    In each case described in Scripture when Christ takes the title of Michael, He is victorious. The final victory occurs in Daniel 12: 1. At the end of the world, Michael stands up to deliver a faithful generation who have proven Satan’s charges false.

    Here in Revelation 12, Michael the archangel, or the chief angel, has a litany of angels on His side. The dragon, or Satan, has angels on his side. It is a polemical war that is fought over Satan’s lies against the government of God and Christ’s place in that government.

    In verse 8, we see that Satan and his angels did not prevail. There was no place in heaven for his lies and for the dissension he had created.”

  • Nigerian billionaire businessman and industrialist Dr. Cosmos Maduka has been spotted preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in Lagos, in a moment that has drawn attention to the faith of one of Nigeria’s most prominent businessmen.
    Maduka, the founder and chairman of the Coscharis Group, is not just another wealthy businessman. He is one of Nigeria’s most successful entrepreneurs, having built a vast business empire spanning automobiles, manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, logistics and other sectors.
    His Coscharis Group represents some of the world’s biggest automobile brands in Nigeria, including BMW, MINI, Rolls-Royce and Jaguar Land Rover. The conglomerate also operates a vehicle assembly plant in Nigeria.
    Forbes reported years ago that Maduka’s wealth was already estimated at more than $500 million. Maduka has also previously suggested that if Coscharis had been listed on the stock exchange, his personal wealth could have been significantly higher, reportedly putting his potential valuation at around $5 billion.
    What makes his latest appearance particularly striking is that, despite his immense business success, Maduka continues to publicly demonstrate his Christian faith and participate in evangelism.
    His journey is also remarkable. Despite having limited formal education, Maduka rose through determination and entrepreneurship to become the head of one of Nigeria’s largest privately owned business groups. He later served as a director of Access Bank for 12 years and is an alumnus of Harvard Business School.
    Beyond business, Maduka has also played a major role in Nigerian sports. He served as President of the Nigerian Table Tennis Federation for 16 years and was involved in taking Nigerian athletes to several Olympic tournaments.
    Now, videos of the billionaire businessman preaching the gospel in Lagos have offered another glimpse into a side of his life that goes beyond boardrooms, luxury cars and billion-naira business deals.
    For Maduka, evangelism appears to be more than a public image—it is something he is deeply passionate about.
    And perhaps that is what makes the sight so remarkable: a man who has achieved extraordinary financial success choosing to stand in public and preach about Christ.
    Forget the noise surrounding Nigeria’s celebrity billionaires and popular socialites. Dr. Cosmos Maduka belongs to a different category of wealth and influence—and yet, he can still be found taking the gospel to the streets.
    His story is a reminder that wealth and faith do not have to exist in separate worlds. Even at the highest levels of business success, some people still choose to make their faith a visible part of their lives.

  • MINDFULNESS: THE WISDOM OF HOW WE TREAT ONE ANOTHER

    Being mindful is more than simply being aware.

    It is remembering that we share this world with other people.

    It means practicing manners, decorum, etiquette, and civility—not because we are trying to appear perfect, but because we recognize the dignity of others.

    Sometimes wisdom sounds like speaking.

    Sometimes wisdom sounds like listening.

    And sometimes wisdom sounds like silence.

    “A time to keep silence, and a time to speak.”
    — Ecclesiastes 3:7

    There are moments when our words can encourage, correct, defend, or bring healing.

    And there are moments when speaking out of anger, pride, impulse, or frustration can cause unnecessary harm.

    “Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.”
    — James 1:19

    The Bible reminds us that our words matter.

    “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”
    — Proverbs 18:21

    And sometimes the wisest response is simply to be still.

    “Be still, and know that I am God.”
    — Psalm 46:10

    Being still does not mean being indifferent.

    Being quiet does not mean being weak.

    Being civil does not mean permitting wrongdoing.

    Jesus Himself demonstrated that there is a time for gentleness and a time for righteous confrontation. Scripture calls us to pursue truth, justice, mercy, and righteousness—not merely comfort or appearances.

    So mindfulness asks us:

    Is this the right time to speak?
    Is this the right way to speak?
    Does this need to be said?
    Am I listening as carefully as I am speaking?
    Will my words bring understanding—or unnecessary injury?

    And perhaps most importantly:

    Am I treating people as members of a family whom God has commanded me to love?

    “Love one another: as I have loved you.”
    — John 13:34

    “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.”
    — Romans 12:10

    Christian love is not pretending that everything is acceptable.

    It is not concealing injustice.

    It is not remaining silent when someone is being harmed.

    Rather, it means learning to speak truth with love, to correct without cruelty, to disagree without contempt, and to stand for what is right without abandoning compassion.

    “Speaking the truth in love…”
    — Ephesians 4:15

    There is tremendous wisdom in knowing the difference between silence that protects peace and silence that permits injustice.

    So today, let us be mindful.

    Mindful of our words.
    Mindful of our tone.
    Mindful of our surroundings.
    Mindful of other people’s dignity.
    Mindful of when to speak.
    Mindful of when to listen.
    Mindful of when to be still.

    And yes…

    Mind your P’s and Q’s.

    Not as an invitation to conceal who we are or to perform politeness for appearances—

    but as a gentle reminder to show respect, practice good manners, exercise self-control, and treat others with the dignity we hope to receive.

    Because kindness is not weakness.

    Civility is not compromise.

    Silence is not always surrender.

    And speaking up is not always unkind.

    Wisdom is knowing which moment requires which one.

    “Let all that you do be done in love.”
    — 1 Corinthians 16:14

  • Most of us are now living with undue stress and fear. however the let’s see how the holy scripture helps us to understand “Fear”


    The Bible contains several verses that encourage us not to be fearful, reminding us of God’s presence, support, and the strength He provides. Here are a few key verses along with their context and meaning.

    1. Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
    This verse comes during a time when Israel faced overwhelming challenges. God reassures His people that, despite their circumstances, they should not fear because He is with them. The promise of His presence is foundational; knowing that God walks beside us alleviates fear. He offers strength, help, and upholding through His righteous hand. This verse can serve as a powerful reminder that we are never alone in our struggles.

    2. 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
    Here, Paul writes to Timothy, encouraging him to embrace the gifts God has given rather than succumbing to fear. This verse emphasizes that the nature of God’s spirit is not fear, but rather empowerment through love and sound judgment. It reinforces the idea that Christians are equipped to face challenges with courage, given the strength and wisdom from God.

    3. Matthew 10:31: “Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
    In this passage, Jesus reassures His followers of their value in God's eyes. He reminds them that if God cares for even the sparrows, which are of little worth, then He will surely care for them. The call not to fear is tied to our identity as beloved children of God. This reassurance fosters a sense of worth and confidence, knowing that God watches over us.

    Each of these verses emphasizes a central theme: God’s presence and care dispel fear. Rather than allowing fear to govern our responses and decisions, we are encouraged to draw on the power, love, and the sound mind that God provides. This understanding can bring comfort and strength in our challenges, guiding us to rest in the assurance of His protection and love.
