(A Paper Submitted for the Law x Tech Conference) 1.0 INTRODUCTION   Although the legal sector underpins most socio-economic activities worldwide, it is troubling to discover that the legal sector is one of the slowest sectors in adopting technology, which is the emblem of the 21st century. The technology-averse attitude of the legal sector is a cosmopolitan issue given that a research conducted by the American Bar Association (ABA) revealed that a meagre 7% of law firms adopt technological innovations in dispensing their duties[1]. The outbreak of the novel COVID-19 further caused an unpleasant setback to legal services, as courtrooms and law firms were incapacitated by the overwhelming challenges that accompanied COVID-19. Indeed, technology comes with risks; however, the pros outweigh the cons. it is high time the legal sector bridged the technology gap; thus, espousing technological solutions as prescriptions for legal challenges.  2.0 LEGAL CHALLENGES Legal challenges refer to the

The John 13 Series (III): AUTHORITY

-

This post talks about a conversation I frequently had with God last semester. The conversation was, "Lord, how do I know the situations that will demand me to use your authority?". Let us journey through my findings. From the John 13 series (I&II), we understand that trust in Jesus and asking for His help can affect the storms or commotions around us. However, there is something we must also note✍️:  Sometimes Jesus expects us to use the   authority he has given us to prevail over storms around us. So back to my question, how do we know these situations? The first step to knowing these situations is by intimacy with the Holy Spirit 🕊️. A close relationship with the Holy Spirit will make you know when to exercise your Christ-given authority. Jesus said in John 14 that he will send His Holy Spirit who will teach us all things.  No wonder the Apostle Paul knew when to use his authority offensively e.g. to make Elymas the sorcerer blind and when to endure difficult circumsta

TRUE FAITH

All things being equal, this blog post should have ended the John 13 series. However, I perceived that God would have us learn or relearn one of the toughest lessons I learnt recently. You would agree with me that oftentimes when we think about faith, a beautiful picture is painted in our minds. For example, Abraham believes God for a child; He gets Isaac, and everyone is happy. However, having only this ideology is a catalyst for heartbreaks because it is incomplete.  What then, is the missing piece? 🧩 Apostle Paul helps us answer this question in Hebrews chapter 11.    He shows us in verses 36 – 38 that men who obtained a good report through faith experienced – trials, afflictions, and other sufferings.  Verse 37 - 38 says, “ They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;  And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, ”. The faith gospel is comp

The John 13 Series (II): ASK!!!

-

The first part of the John 13 series established the love-trust relationship. 🔗 However, at the end of the blog post, it was stated that there is a caution that we must adhere to while being secure in God’s love. As much as Jesus loves us to lean on Him irrespective of circumstances and situations; He also wants to see our problems solved. The love-trust relationship comes with an open cheque and only someone among the disciples understood it in John 13. Now, what was this caution?  A t the supper, a lthough John was at ease on Jesus’ chest, the confusion around him wasn’t changing. So, Peter beckoned to John to ask Jesus who the betrayer was so that there would be peace. John obeyed and eventually, Jesus' response brought a calm. What Peter did here was to leverage the love-trust relationship between Jesus and John to obtain what could calm the unsettling situation. Similarly, this admonishes us not to be complacent just because we trust God in troubling situations but to us
