Clergyman Advocates Regular Payment Of Taxes In Oshogbo

The Vicar of the All Souls Anglican Church, Oke Fia Osogbo, Osun state, Mr Williams Ojelade, has advocated the need for citizens to pay their taxes regularly in order to help the government realize its goals.
Mr Ojelade who canvassed this at the Armed Forces Remembrance Service held in the church on Sunday, January 8, 2016, said payment of taxes would make the citizens patriotic and responsible.
He believes that by so doing, the government can execute programmes such as infrastructural development including motorable roads, schools, hospitals among others.
Furthermore, he lauded the state government in the area of provision of infrastructures, especially roads as well as promotion of religious harmony.
He therefore, enjoined the administration of Governor Rauf Aregbesola, to continue to do more for the benefits of the citizenry.
The clergyman however called on the administration to explore the possibility of granting tax bonuses to those paying regularly, as a way of encouraging them as according to him, is done in some advanced countries.
With the service themed “fulfilling righteousness”, he used the opportunity to charge citizens to obey those in authority while taking up responsibilities such as the regular payment of their taxes.
Mr Ojelade further stated that “the Anglican Communion and the Christendom in general is today celebrating the Baptism of Jesus Christ who had devoted his life for humanity to live and this coincides with the armed forces remembrance day.
“The celebration enjoins Christians to key into baptism, sacrament and communion. As Jesus died for the world to live, so are the fallen heroes that fought and died in the Nigerian Civil War fought for the unity, protection and peace of all Nigerians.”
He then went on to admonish all and sundry not to let the lessons of the sacrifices that the fallen heroes had left to be forgotten by maintaining peace and unity in the country.
As an antidote to peaceful coexistence, the cleric called on all Nigerians regardless of ethnic and religious backgrounds to love one another at all times and accommodate each other.

Recreating your world. Book by pastor Chris

1) RECREATING YOUR WORLD - Oyakhilome lays the foundation to explain why we can change our lives or recreate our worlds. He quotes the scripture Acts1v8 'But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...' As a christian i.e. when you are 'born again' one of the experiences is to receive the Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit. Oyakhilome states that when the Holy Spirit comes upon/in you, He gives you power. This power is an ability to cause changes. Equipped with this power we have the ability to recreate our world. 2) YOUR CREATIVE ABILITY - Oyakhilome states that the creative ability in us is our imagination. He gives scriptural evidence to show that our imaginative thoughts can manifest in the natural realm. He emphasises the importance of imagining positive desires and brooding over them until they become clear. Our imaginative power signifies what we can see. In the process of recreating our world we must have a definite vision of what we desire our...

Interesting facts about Africa.

One interesting fact about Africa that is truly amazing is that long before humans were around (the early Mesozoic Era), Africa was joined to the other continents in a massive continent called Pangaea. Over millions of years this huge continent broke apart shaping the world landscape as we know it today in what has been referred to the continental drift. This was at first a speculation and was first put proposed by Abraham Ortelius in 1596. Later on, the concept was independently (and more fully) developed in 1912 by Alfred Wegener and the theory of continental drift was superseded by the theory of plate tectonics, which builds upon the previous continental drift and better explains the former concept.Africa is the most populous and the only black continent. Despite the delayed development in the continent, Africa is an interesting continent to visit and in it abounds lots of talents. There are lots of known and interesting information but there are much more unknown facts about Africa...
