Ruyi's World of Books & Stories

Do you know that God respects no man? If you sin, you will sink! Humans naturally reflect their world. So your actions are the product of what is in you. Evil has crept into the world. Only people that identify with Jesus Christ will swim to safety on the last day. "The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runs into it and is safe" (Proverbs 18v10). For you to enjoy your place in eternity, you must embrace righteousness. Anything short of this is a highway to hell. "Righteousness exalts a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people" (Proverbs14v34). We have stepped into dark days; the era that Jesus Christ prophesied about over two thousand years ago. He said and I quote, "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying I am the Christ; and shall deceive many. Any ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, see that ye be not troubled. For all these things must come to pass, but the ...

A cockerel sounded it was dawn as tragedy walked the bare chest of the street and wrote frustration on the face of the earth. The land that spread before me like an old balance sheet under the little nose of a shrewd accountant was covered with men who were as dark as the midnight, broken and shattered, like savages in defenseless post waiting for providence to take her esteemed seat in the scheme of things and humble the bizarre tale that is more hellish than the enterprise of a sorcerer. They were reduced by the cruel hands of an unjust fate, and had nothing better to do than gazing at our mutual friend, the sun—a hot yellow ball that fed the earth as if there was no morrow. I saw tears gathered in their eyes and were not better than a woman in travail in a cold night. It would have been better they never had a dose of his goodwill, for his goodwill was like a grave, lurking in the pool of loneliness, which was the meal for men of little means and those under the spell of confusion...

Whether you believe it or not, we are in a world under the spell of principalities and powers. Disaster, famine and violence are signs of the devil's presence. His desire is to write frustration on the face of the old earth. "Be sober, be vigilant:because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5v8)." But the limitation that the world is experiencing today, does not mean that God does not exist. "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty (Revelation1v8)." God is ever ready to lead you to greatness. And, for that to happen, you must live in the realm of holiness. "Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God (Matthew 5v8)." God is real. Search for Him if you don't want to live in the limited zone of life. "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek m...

"My Guest" (Excerpt from the novella The Mystery of Taiwo da Silva) Originally published by BLACK BOOKS NIGERIA A division of Human Change Communications Company by Omoruyi Uwuigiaren Even as brilliant weather sat comfortably on the bare chest of the beautiful earth, and our mutual friend, the morning, took its place in the progression of days, a bizarre tale, more hellish than the enterprise of a sorcerer, crossed my threshold and led me into a gloomy morning. I had vowed to get rid of the cockroaches in my cupboard, where they’d claimed lordship. Confusion greeted my arrival, as the insects dashed here and there to escape my blows; but just as I ended their reign, a frightening figure, brawny as a man who has spent hours in a gym, emerged from my shabby walls and began to pummel me. His eyes were full of fire, and a puckish nose sat impudently upon his wicked face! As his treachery crushed me against the wall, I yelled like a man that misfortune had dealt a misera...

My journey into the beautiful world of writing began one cold evening the wind blew with vengeance. A pastor visited my humble home with a little book written by Bishop David O. Oyedepo of the Faith Tabernacle Church, Ota, Nigeria. After going through the little piece that was as good as gold, I told the friend that few days would be enough for me to bring a little book to life. The Pastor who is as dark as the midnight thought I was a windbag. He said such endeavor would make me a drudge in no distant time. As soon as he left, I went to work and I am still in the business of writing. For more than two decades, Dr. David O. Oyedepo, has been part of the current renaissance sweeping through the African continent. His faith-based teachings have transformed millions of lives. Called with a specific mandate to liberate mankind from all oppressions of the devil, Dr. Oyedepo is the presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, with a network of churches all over Nigeria and most...
