    Principle of Good leadership: Jesus as a model
    (Ajayi Crowther University Journal of Religious Studies, 2023-07) Adeyeye, Agnes Omotayo; Isaac, Jesuvi Julius
    The growth, development, progress and success of any organization or nation depends on her leadership. A peaceful society is a reflection of good leadership. On the other hand, a conflicting society portrays the type of leadership governing such a society, whether a good leader or a bad one. This is clearly seen in Africa in general and Nigeria in particular, which is confronted with several challenges such as poverty, insecurity, politico-economic instability and conflict, among many others. It is of note that the myriad problems in human society are leadership, many of whom are devoid of the understanding of the principles of good leadership; thus, they become selfish, corrupt, greedy, transparent, cruel, and lack genuine love for the people they are leading or governing. The thrust of this paper is a call for the understanding of the principles of good leadership using Jesus Christ as a model. The paper discovered that a major problem facing human society is the lack of good leadership. The paper recommends that leaders imbibe principles of good leadership used by great religious leaders such as Jesus Christ to have a good and desirable society.

    Prophecy and Inspiration in Christianity: any relationship ?
    (Department of Religion and Cultural Studies, Benue State University, Makurdi., 2020-03) Adeyeye, Agnes Omotayo; Isaac, Jesuvi Julius
    Prophecy which is the fore-telling and forth-telling of what is to come has been playing vital role in the society. People do consult prophets to know what the future holds for them. The prophets are also known as veers. They claimed that messages are communicated to them by God. This acclaimed message is known as prophecy. But who is a prophet? How does he receive the message? Often the Prophet claims being inspired to prophesize. This implies that inspiration plays certain roles in prophecy. Therefore, the probing questions are: What is a prophecy? How does a prophet receive the message? What relationship exists between prophecy and inspiration? Can it be separated? These are basically the thrust of this paper. The writers discovered that there is a strong cord relationship between prophecy and inspiration. The methodology adopted in this work was historical. The work recommends that the Prophet who is the medium through which the message (prophecy) is been delivered to the recipients should wait on the Lord und be truly inspired before communicating the message.
