The chronicles of an Alarmist

Image
  According to wikipedia, Alarmism is excessive or exaggerated alarm about a real or imagined threat e.g. the increases in deaths from infectious disease . I ural risk manager. I am an alarmist per excellence. For the most part, when most people see AMBER , I see RED . When most people are comfortable with GREEN , I am well considering what can go wrong. I am tempted to think I am paranoid but I have sufficient reasons to think that my tendency to see things from the risk management lens is more of a blessing than a curse. This perspective infact is a proof that I am not a naysayer. So what is it about being an alarmist that is insanely cool? Is it the fact that my legs are often very close to the break while I am driving an automatic transmission geared car? Is it the part that I refuse to go through Oworonshoki by-pass because of the propensity of containerized vehicle to fall on cars?

What is the meaning of life? Why are my here? What are my born to do? The search for the true meaning of life often leads us to asking a lot of questions.

   Identity crisis is the greatest crisis. Talking of Identity crisis, the Church has reduced herself to a mere religious sect. This is an aberration to God's kingdom mandate. Institutional Christianity has failed God in the way we parade ourselves as bunch of religious entities. JESUS was not crucified because of the miracles he performed nor the crusades HE championed. HE was crucified based on HIS declaration as a KING. Those who understand legal jurisprudence will enlighten you that the charge against JESUS was a case of treason. This changes everything. Christianity is about the KINGDOM which is a system of government based on kingdom principles. The Church (Ekklesia, also meaning STATE) is God's platform for rulership. We are citizens of God's kingdom. Our constitution is the word of God. What Jesus's death and resurrection means for us is that we have been conferred with our lost status. The implication of Jesus's resurrection is that we h...
