Thy Kingdom Come ….on Earth (audio has an echo…. sorry) “Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” (Matthew 6:9–13) Verbs in the Lord’s Prayer are…

The Wonder At The Well

This shows villagers walking out to the well where Jesus is standing and preaching to the crowd. #religious #christian #biblestory #jesus #artsample #illustration https://wp.me/pLP9Y-5UA

Illustrations for Redemption Press 14 of 18 Page 14 has just one panel. It shows villagers walking out to the well where Jesus is standing and preaching to the crowd. Some villagers sit or kneel on the ground at His feet. I gave Jesus a slight halo because it seemed on theme. Notice the rope, abandoned vase, and empty box by the well? Those details came from earlier in the story.

Matthew 28:18-20 - Where Will We Do Our Ministry?

To “go” doesn’t exclusively mean to travel to another place. It mostly involves the willingness to get up, go, and walk across the street, or even just across the room.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (New International Version) We will do our ministry by…

Day 301; Footnotes of People Must Know

I became interested in a program called The Chosen a while back. (Can be found here: https://watch.angelstudios.com ) This is an amazing program, it brings a different light and perspective while remaining true to the Word. It gives a sense of life to what we have read. I saw today where they will be distributing a Christmas special and upon researching, it will be shown locally. I haven’t been…

Things that Won’t Matter Once We’re Home

Things that Won’t Matter Once We’re Home

By Dr. Donald Whitchard

“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and there was no more sea. Then, I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they…

The Great Commission

16Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of…

Special Graces in Common Places

Special Graces in Common Places

Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there (Matthew 19:13-15 (NIV).

Jesus here was not in the synagogue or any formal place…

IS THE SPIRIT OF FEAR KEEPING YOUR MOUTH CLOSED?

  Child of God, consider this scenario…

Someone you know becomes a new follower of Jesus Christ. Not long after committing their life to the Lord, they see you out somewhere. They approach you and say this: “I recently gave my life to the Lord. I wish I had known about the goodness of God years ago. It would have saved me, as well as so many others in my life, a lot of heartache, pain and sin…

Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Our Lord Jesus Christ was taken up to Heaven before the very eyes of His disciples and loved ones. Prior to that, He gave not too long a speech full of assurance and instructions (command) to the whole Christendom through…

National Broadcasting Commission: SERAP asks agency to lift ban on Falz, Olamide, Wande Coal's songs

SERAP said NBC's actions amounts to illegal restrictions on media freedom, the right to freedom of opinion and expression and free information and ideas.

Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to immediately lift the ban it placed on a radio station in Jos, Plateau state recently.

NBC ordered JayFM 101.9 to stop playing; Falz's 'This is Nigeria', Wande Coal's 'Iskaba' and Olamide's 'See Mary, See Jesus'.

SERAP also called on NBC to rescind the unlawful fine of N100,000 imposed on the radio station.

The organization said the action by the NBC amounts to illegal restrictions on media freedom, the right to freedom of opinion and expression and free information and ideas.

The NBC had in a letter dated August 6th, 2018 and addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, JODAJ Global Communications Limited, Jos, owners of Jay FM 101.9 stated varying reasons for the ban and fine ranging from 'vulgar and indecent lyrics' in contravention of the body's regulations.

 Right to freedom of expression

SERAP Deputy Director, Timothy Adewale however expressed concern about the censorship of the media and songs deemed ‘vulgar and indecent’ by the NBC.

Adeale said  “The right to freedom of expression, information and ideas is applicable not only to comfortable, inoffensive or politically correct opinions, but also to ideas that offend, shock and disturb. The constant confrontation of ideas, even controversial ones, is a stepping stone to achieving a vibrant democratic society, transparency, accountability and respect for the rule of law.

 “Vague rules on vulgarity and indecency should not be used subjectively to ban or fine independent media outlets, particularly radio and television channels.

“The action by the NBC can create an uncertain environment for radio and television stations and media professionals in general and lead to fostering self-censorship and shunning any meaningful criticism of public policies and authorities.

“The NBC is adopting vague rules vulgarity and indecency to undermine freedom of expression, right to information and opinion. By banning the radio station from playing the songs, the NBC is not only undermining and harming the station, but also undermining everyone’s right to information, public participation and open and democratic governance.

 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

Adewale also argues that the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights allows for individuals to openly criticize their government without fear of punishment.

He said “Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to which Nigeria is a state party includes the right of individuals to criticize or openly and publicly evaluate their Governments without fear of interference or punishment.

“It is important for the NBC to strive to promote diversity of views, and the media’s importance as a platform for public debate about important matters of public interest and ideas. Censorship or impermissible restrictions in the exercise of media freedom and freedom of expression can restrict free circulation of ideas and opinions and impose obstacles to the free flow of information.

 “Freedom of the press and other news media afford the public one of the best means of discovering and forming an opinion of the ideas on political and social issues and other issues of public interest. Not only does the NBC have the task of ensuring that radio stations and other media organizations can function effectively to impart such information and ideas: the public also has a right to receive them.

ALSO READ: MURIC gives Falz 7 days to withdraw 'This is Nigeria' video

“SERAP notes that three clear-cut conditions must be respected for any limitation on the right to freedom of expression and free information: (a) restrictions must be established in law; (b) they should pursue an aim recognized as lawful, and (c) they must be proportional to the accomplishment of that aim. SERAP considers the action by the NBC against the radio station to be inconsistent with the principle of proportionality and therefore impairing the free exercise of the right both to impart and to receive information and ideas.”

Falz has also threatened to seek legal redress if the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) fails to lift the ban on his song, This is Nigeria.
