I WILL WOBBLE AND FUMBLE TO ETERNITY!



I crave the indulgence of Eternity Reminders Blog readers today to flash back to close to 25 years ago (1995 to be specific) when the word ‘wobbling and fumbling’ entered the dictionary of Nigerian football. What brought about it? Nigeria’s u-20 team (a.k.a The Flying Eagles) consisting a large percentage of the victorious Nigeria’s u-17 team (a.k.a Golden Eaglets) just 2 years back failed to fly against all expectations when Nigeria hosted the African u-20 Championship which was to serve as qualifiers for the u-20 world cup also scheduled to hold in Nigeria later that same year. The coach of the team (Fanny Amu – who coincidentally led the team to win the u-17 world cup 2 years earlier) consciously or unconsciously came up with the famous quote when being interviewed by journalists on the chances of his team to host and win the tournament, after a disastrous 3-3 draw with Mali in the opening match. The team indeed wobbled and fumbled to get to the semifinals where our bitter rivals Cameroun eliminated the team. Of course, the coach who was the darling and hero of Nigerian soccer fans just 2 years back became a villain and the most hated man in Nigerian football. It was therefore no surprise when he got the boot from the NFA shortly after.

I remembered the the above incident this past week and the above question pops up in my heart. I then decided to throw it open to as many informed bible scholars as possible to air the opinion. Is it really possible to wobble and fumble to ETERNITY?  Your opinion in the comment section below will be greatly appreciated.

Shalom!

THE SAINTS OF OLD – PA S.G. ELTON (Part 1)

I have been trying (for over 3 months now) to do a research on the late Pa S.G. Elton, who is widely considered to be the father of Pentecostalism in Nigeria before featuring him on this platform. However, someone circulated this via What Sapp and I am using it as a platform to start a 3 part series on him. Enjoy the write up below. Your feedback and comments will be highly appreciated. Also feel free to send to  eternity.reminders@gmail.com  any useful article(s) in this regard.  Shalom! LOOKING BACKWARD: In order for us to understand the origin of the prosperity “gospel” and the present reign of mammon in the Church today, we cannot but talk about the man who almost single-handedly established the Pentecostal movement that led to the Pentecostal Churches of Nigeria today. Before then all we had were mostly the “orthodox” Churches with strong controls and hierarchy of the ministers. We did not have the “one-man” Churches of today. ALSO READ JO...

THE SAINTS OF OLD SERIES - PROPHET DR. T.O. OBADARE (BIRTH, CALL & MINISTRY)

  Introduction Ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. Mo tun wi leekan si pe ogo ni fun Olorun l’oke orun. E jeki a gbadura (Glory be to God in heaven. And I say once again, glory be to God in heaven. Shall we pray?)[1] This slogan echoed over the Nigerian airwaves, especially in south-western Nigeria, for close to four decades. Each time it echoed, those who were familiar with it easily identified the voice of Apostle (Dr.) Timothy Oluwole Obadare, one of the indigenous prophets of the land, who was the General Evangelist of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) (Worldwide); the Executive Director of World Soul-Winning Evangelistic Ministry (WOSEM) and the President of the Interdenominational Ministers’ Association of Nigeria (IMA). Formerly of The Apostolic Church (TAC), he worked with the church for a period of four years, 1953 to 1957, before he was brought into the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) by Apostle Joseph Ayodele Babalola in 1957. Having joined the CAC, he ...

Apostle Timothy Oluwole Obadare went to be with the Lord on March 21, 2013 at the ripe age of 83. According to reports, he had been confined indoors for some years, but was said to have struggled to attend the March edition of the Koseunti Prayer meeting on March 1, 2013. He was brought to the church premises but could not come down from the car. When the news of his death came in, it dawned on the members that perhaps their leader had wanted to attend the meeting for the last time.[47] Apostle Timothy Obadare is survived by his wife, Elizabeth E.
