And when he has revealed his intention to judge you, he will still listen to your plea. From our text, God sent the prophet Isaiahto tell King Hezekiah that he was about to die.

Nigeria after oil theft

IT is obvious the Nigerian economy is in a precarious situation. It is really nothing new. The only thing that could be new is the momentum of oil theft, which combining with corruption, is drying up resources available to governments. Nigerians do not need a warning fromthe World Bank to know that an economy founded on only one product is doomed. Years of contemplating what to do with the economy has not thrown up solutions that governments are willing to implement. Every government is interested in getting resources it immediately needs for its projects, most of which are short term programmes. A World Bank’s Nigeria Economic Report for May 2013, noted that, “Despite the recovery in oil prices, Nigeria expanded its fiscal stimulus significantly, increasing consolidated spending by an estimated 2.5 per centof Gross Domestic Product, GDP, and drawing down the remaining balance of the Excess Crude Account at the same time that many other oil exporters were building back their reserve...

The canons of lending

CAMPARI is how bankers use the Canons of Lending to assess whether they should lend money or not. It stands for: Character – can you trust someone? Have they got a good record, for example of repaying borrowed money previously? Ability – what track record do you have, and how can you demonstrate it? Margin – the least important to the bank believe it or not, but there mustbe something in it for them Purpose – why do they want to borrow the money, and is it structured in a sensible way? Amount – how much do they want, but also how much in total is being spent – how much of the borrowers own money is being put it? Repayment – how will it be repaid and when? How can this be demonstrated? Insurance – what happens if something goes wrong? This may not necessarily mean an insurance policy, but could include providing some security – a Directors’ guarantee is commonplace for small limited companies.

The power of sex

I have seen men that are respected in society lose everything because of three minutes sex with women who are not their wives.

But when it comes to se...x they are like idiots, no sense, and no direction. Proverbs 30:18-19 says: “There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yes; four which I do not understand”: the first one says “the way of an eagle in the air, I do not understand, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea and then it says the way of a man with a maid.” (AMP). “...And the way of a man with a girl” (BBE). This is Solomon the father of wisdom writing and saying, there are four things he will never understand. The way of an eagle; what is the way of an eagle? Every other bird that takes to the a...
