April 26: Holy Monday
On this day, we commemorate Joseph the Patriarch, the son of Jacob (from the Old Testament).
This is also the day that the church remembers the moment that Jesus cursed the fig tree on his way into Jerusalem during His triumphant entry.
The holy Passion of our Saviour begins today, presenting Joseph the all-comely as a prefiguring of Christ. He was the eleventh son of Jacob, and his first son by Rachel; because he was so beloved of his father, his own brethren came to envy him and cast him into a pit. Later they sold him to foreigners for thirty pieces of silver, who later sold him again in Egypt. Because of his virtue, his master gave him much authority in governing his house; because he was fair of countenance, his master’s wife sought to draw him into sin with her; because of his chastity, he refused her, and through her slanders was cast into prison. Finally, he was led forth again with great glory and was honoured as a king. He became lord over all Egy

Article of Faith: Abounding In the Abundant Life, By Femi Aribisala
We do not think we are blessed because we are persecuted for righteousness sake.
While the blessing of the Lord makes one rich, riches are not the blessing.
How often have you heard this kind of testimony in the church? “Praise the Lord, I was blessed yesterday. Someone blessed me with N100,000.”
But is N100,000 a blessing? Can money really be a blessing? What if I use the money to shoot cocaine and end up in the hospital? Would it still be considered a blessing? If a blessing is a blessing, surely it would remain a blessing, come rain or shine? It should not be possible for a blessing to end up bringing adversity.

The 1974 reggae hit “You can’t be wrong and get it right, no matter how hard you may try”, by Jamaican musician Jimmy Cliff, enjoys an unmistakable throwback from some of the trending circumstances of Dr Isa Ali Pantami, Nigeria’s serving Minister of Communications and Digital Economy. For some time now, the gentleman – an erudite Islamic cleric, brilliant digital technology engineer and now minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, had been featured in the public space and in unedifying light as someone harbouring sympathies for terrorists, based on some legacy audio and video footages of his earlier sermons on extremist tendencies in Islam, which were recently launched unto social media platforms, and now trend as tendentious in the public domain.
Bryan County News II Thessalonians, Chapter 2
Dr. Lawrence Butler, The Bridge Church, Pembroke.
Introduction to II Thessalonians – The Apostle Paul is the author of this book, and identifies himself as such in 1:1 and 3:17. Apparently Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy were with Paul when he wrote this epistle. The date of this writing is thought to be somewhere around A.D. 51 or 52. The church at Thessalonica had a great revival as recorded in Acts 17: 1-4. Unfortunately, there was also great opposition. Some Jews believed and accepted Christ as Savior, and a great number of devout Greeks and chief women became Christians. But, a large number of Jews withstood the gospel and Paul had to leave. This pressure had continued to grow, and persecution soon broke out.
