Righteousness2:
After wasting its time and resources chasing the wind in the ICJ , the confused leadership of south africa continues to shoot itself .

One thing i have learnt in life is Whatever you try to do against GOD'S Elect ends up being good for GOD'S Elect

South Africa by this move is Helping to accelerate Fufillment of Bible prophecies.
Ezekiel prophecised that GOD will bring Jews Scattered all over the World back to their GOD given land.
Same with the increased antisemitism all over the world.
They are the raw Materials used to fufill scriptures as Jews are coming back home in Heavy numbers to fully Possess their GOD given land.

You are a mad religious bigot

SPEAK OF THE DAY ❤️

A government that cannot manage an economy well is not fit to continue. Had it been any other party in power and President these same set of managers would have staged a sit in or a violent protest against the incumbent but they feel Nigerians should cope with their Shege. Tinubu like Buhari was merely desperate to have power without any proper outline of what to do to solves the Nations challenges. The consequences is inflation, insecurity and cluelessness of the highest order. When Nigerians witnessed Buhari's government they thought they had see the worst only for Tinubu to worsen matters. You cannot be worse than Buhari to the point that children can no longer afford Indomie which used to be the cheapest food. Nigerians don't need to wait till a year to the election to vote out Tinubu and his clueless APC cohorts. Time to form a coalition to remove them should be ongoing. A failed government is a failed government. A promise of renewed hope is now a renewed hunger level in the land. Tinubu must go. He is incapable of governing Nigeria.

It is surprising that Yourubas are still defending the indefensible clueless government. Imagine defending a clueless government on a hungry stomach. We used to call Buhari's supporters Zombies because of their outright blindness imagine what we should call Tinubu's supporters. Tinubu must go. Nigeria deserves better. You cannot tell me that in a land of 220 million people, an aged and ailing leader is what we deserve. Nigerians deserve better and Tinubu must go.

Professor Wole Soyinka once called Jonathan a President worse than Nebuchadnezzar now he has his kinsman in power and things are actually now worse than it was under Nebuchadnezzar he has gone into poetries in politics. Wole Soyinka is a disgrace to this country. He defended the shambolic elections that brought Bola Tinubu to power and now the naira has had its worst depreciation he cannot for once criticize Tinubu but is complaining about decentralization. What a hypocrite he is. I keep saying it. Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. Ethnic bias would not let us vote into power the right people. The likes of Soyinka should know that even if you give APC 40 years they won't still outperform the Nebuchadnezzar government of Jonathan. We must tell ourselves the truth that Tinubu cannot give what he doesn't have. He doesn't have what it takes to take Nigeria forward. Just like Buhari his cluelessness will be exposed in a matter of months as things get worse. Perhaps Nigerians will beg Nebuchadnezzar Jonathan to come back since their Youruba lord cannot perform. Keep living in denial Yourubas.

After years of attacking PDP. The APC have been given power only for the country to get worse. From Buhari to Tinubu Nigeria is getting worse by the day. The funny part is that Yorubas are living in denial just like the hausas under Buhari. They have refused to call a spade a spade. Tinubu is making Nigeria worse by the day yet instead of calling him out they prefer to lie to themselves that things will get better. It won't be better under Tinubu. The worst PDP regime will outperform Tinubu's government. Take it to the bank.

Pastor Adeboye had the guts to protest against Jonathan when things were much better. When it was Buhari's turn he asked for prayers because Osibanjo was Vice. Nigeria will not get better until we see beyond ethnic lines. When Pastors who should be telling the truth to the government are covering things up how can the country be better. Keep telling yourself Tinubu will make Nigeria better. Time will expose your idiocy

Just like Buhari, I want to rule, I want to rule now he is in charge the country is getting worse. You cannot give what you don't have.

Yorubas should keep living in denial. Reality would soon dawn on them.

No matter the assurances Tinubu gives Nigerians over the economical situation he will not be able the steer the nation out of the mess he has created. And as for Yorubas living in denial over Tinubu's ineptitude reality will soon dawn on them just as it did with the Northerners supporting Buhari. When the wrong man is on the seat of Presidency the right things will not happen. Tinubu is the wrong man and Nigeria will get worse under him

Anyone who believes that Nigerians will have a better life under Tinubu is living in a fool's paradise. There will never be a transformation of Nigeria until APC is removed from power. APC came into power using propaganda and therefore will never be able the deal with real issues facing the country. The worst PDP regime will be better than Tinubu's government. Tinubu and his team of advisers will strategize and plan but the country will get worse under their watch. Nigeria is already destined to fail under APC. Until Nigerians come together and face the truth about APC the country is going nowhere.

Expecting an evil government to make Nigeria better is living in denial. Nigeria will continue to get worse until APC is removed from power. Government after government will be more like a movement from frying pan to fire.

Tinubu didn't do anything special as Lagos State Governor. He merely benefited from the general stability of the country under the PDP regimes. His era as President of Nigeria will expose the reality that Tinubu didn't build Lagos. He will fail woefully as President of Nigeria.

God Will Provide

So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide.

Genesis 22:14

Stella worked in a printing press. Being a beautiful girl she had many males proposing love to her with all sorts of motives. Stella had needs as a girl and unlike many other ladies who live on the material gifts from men or monetary sustainance from unhealthy relationships. Stella lived a virtuous life, contented with God's provision for her life.


Many years ago God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac after he had waited for twenty five years to have him. Abraham had a need for a child at old age but when asked to sacrifice Isaac he gave a reply to his dear son who asked him " Where is the sacrifice? " The Lord will provide "
Just after his attempt to sacrifice Isaac God provided a ram for the sacrifice.


In a world of materialism and flashy desires do we still trust God's provision? Are we willing to sacrifice our desires for upright living? Do we still count on principles on how we get what we want when we have needs ? We say we love God but are we willing to set aside what is important to us to please God.

Our relationship with God should always be above our needs and flashy desires. We should not break principles and ethical behaviors all in a bid to have more of our needs met. When tempted to do anything illegal to have more may we remember Abraham's words " The Lord will provide"


Key Point: God provides for those who put their trust in him.


Prayer : Lord help me to trust in your provision whenever I have a need.

Be Focused

Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and even more
Mark 4:24

Amanda is the first child of her parents. She has three siblings behind her. Her family are in the lower social class and getting a degree has been a tedious task because of finances. Amanda has friends who go out every weekend for clubbing but because she knows her family predicament she stays back to read her books. Her aim is to live a focused life that will enable her reach her goals.

Focus is one thing we all need in our lives. Even in our spiritual lives we need to be very focused. As we continue in our walk with God we can be easily distracted by one unfavorable situation or the other and loose out on our goals. The Bible encourages us to be steadfast and focused.


Without a focus we will not be able to grow in anything we do. Even challenges will be more difficult for us to overcome if we are not living a focused life. If you want to be prosperous and succeed as a Christian you must live a focused life.
If you lack focus the enemy will input things into your head. Satan would easily control our lives when we lack focus. One way to achieve focus is by meditation. By meditating on the word of God we will maintain our focus.


Key Point: No one gets to the top by living a distracted life. Be Focused



Prayer: Lord help me to be focused on what I want the achieve and not be swayed by distractions.

Tinubu must take responsibility over what is happening in the country much more than governors. When Buhari was in charge he was blamed for the state of the nation. We cannot drift this time around and blame governors when the man on top has failed to take responsibility. Telling Nigerians to hold their governors is a theory peddled by persons who would not want to admit Tinubu's complicity in the ongoing situation. When Jonathan was President I did not hear that it was Governor's fault. It was always Jonathan. Tinubu was amongst those carrying that narrative. He cannot escape his own dooms day

Laughter

And Sarah declared, “God has brought me laughter. All who hear about this will laugh with me.

Genesis 21:6

Charles is an upcoming music star. He got his first major invitation to showcase his talent after several years of dedicating his time writing songs and working on his album. On receiving his first call up in the international stage. He was hilarious. It brought great joy to him that he laughed and cheered with his friends when he received the call up.


Laughter is a good medicine so the bible says. When something exciting happens we laugh. It is a human expression. But do you know that laughter is sometimes far away from some persons?

Different challenges may have had them grounded that they have nothing to cheer about.

In the book of Genesis when the angels visited Abraham. They came to deliver a good report to Sarah his wife. Sarah was barren for many years and had become worn out. She desired to have a child but had none. But when she encountered God she laughed. She laughed at the news that she was going to have her own baby.

The news of the breakthrough made no sense to Sarah because she was well passed child bearing age. But what is impossible for men would be possible for God.
No matter what you face in life know that God can always bring you to a place of incredible laughter. When God steps into a hopeless situation his act is often one that will baffle us and bring us laughter.

Talk about it

Are you facing an incredible situation beyond your control?

What mindset can you apply ?


Key Point: God can do the incredible for us in a way that will bring us laughter


Prayer: Lord do something in my life that will amaze everyone who hears it

Avoid Overthinking

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 6:34


In 1986 Grace lost her child to an ailment. It was the beginning of a trauma filled life as she constantly lived in the fear of loosing people close to her. She had developed a high blood pressure condition and was constantly on medication due to her new habit of fretting.


Adversity can hit anyone uninformed and make people slide down the path of worry. We worry about our jobs, our children, our husbands, wives, finances. Sometimes what constitution worry in a person's life may not be a serious issue but because of the attitude of worrying it can cause some unforseen issues.

The Bible encourages us not to worry. Giving example of the plants that do not sow how they are wonderfully clothed. How much more we humans made in the image of God Almighty.
When faced with worrying situations the right step is to pray for God's intervention and let our hearts be at rest. God wants us to leave our fears in his hands because he has us covered.


Worry shows lack of faith in God's wisdom and a lack of trust in God's power. If your heart is set on God he will surely provide for you

Talk about it

Is there a situation keeping you worried?

How have you learned to deal with it?


Key Point: Worry robs you of tomorrow's joy and effectiveness


Prayer: Lord help me to hand over my worries to you and leave tomorrow for itself.

What God told me about Nigeria's woes under APC

The solution to Nigeria's economic woes is not for the citizens to continue to make suffering adjustments. It is aimed at the citizens standing up to bad leadership and corruption by public servants and political figures. Nigeria would not be better simply by telling workers to work from home or work three times a week. The key issues relating to governance and the Nations constitution have to be addressed.
Tinubu's government will end up being more disastrous than Buhari's government in terms of insecurity and warfare of people. Nigerians will cry more than they did under Buhari. God is pushing Nigeria to the brink so they can deliberately deal with the structural issues of Nigeria's unity and constitution and corruption in government. No matter how Nigerians try to adjust the nation will face a kind of hardship where even the rich will no longer feel safe neither will the poor be able to adjust any further. Tinubu's government will be Nigeria's dooms day. Nigerians think adjustments is the way out of our woes. It will no longer be adjustment. It will be confrontation of the issue of corruption that has eaten deep into our system and leadership and also the need for Nigeria's restructuring. Until Nigerian are able to look into the eyes of their public office holders eye ball to eye ball.
The country cannot work under the current level of corruption and under the current structure. No economic plan will work if the issue of corruption and structure is not addressed.
What will happen is that things will get very bad that Nigerians will come together and says enough is enough. They will come together in unity to deal with bad politicians and the structural defects of Nigeria. Then Nigeria will be set free. I saw Nigeria get a new President in the midst of the terrible situation. A man would volunteer the steer the country out of the woes and will be heavily backed by the people. President Tinubu just like Buhari is wasting his time. If he thinks he will be able to turn the economic situation around. It will be like a plane that has been hijacked. He will sit on the chair of the presidency but he will not be able to fly the plane in the direction he wants. The plane will resits the direction until it gets to the point where it is programmed to get to. Nigerians will be compelled to address the issue of bad leadership and corruption

A Relationship With God

Then the LORD said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?

Genesis 18:17

Catherine has been in the music industry for many years. Her music band Better life has been in existence for ten years. Aside being a good singer, she is also into part time sound production. Her boss Kelvin does most of the work in the sound production but despite being her boss he is also a friend to Catherine.


Building a relationship with people does not always involved a set of laws and rules to be followed. Building a good relationship with those around us is a very vital thing. God is our creator and maker but besides being that God wants us to have a relationship with him that goes beyond that.


In the book of Genesis we see Abraham being a friend of God. As the Lord plans to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. He tells Abraham about his plans. Also concerning Abraham's future he also tells him something remarkable about it.

An easy going relationship with God is one of the best things we can achieve while on earth. God is not a cosmic being always out to strike us with a lightning bolt if we make mistakes. God is our loving friend and desires a close bond with us.


Key Point: In building a good a lasting relationship with God we must relate with him beyond rules

Open Doors

See I have placed before you an open door

Revelation 3:8

Danielle Dorris had an aspiration to write for one of the leading magazines in her country. Despite being so good at writing she failed to secure a spot with the magazine company. Two years later she moved out of the country for further education only to be handed a job, the role of a lead story writer for the number one writing company in the world.

No matter how good we are at something there is no guarantee that things will immediately go our way. Sometimes as qualified and proficient as we are in our services we may not attract the global recognition we deserve. Doors we thought will easily be opened to us can close and people we meet to help us pull some strings may disappoint. Disappointment should not be a reason for despair.


When one door closes God can always open another. In his wisdom we may suffer a setback in our expectations only for something better to emerge.
A closed door is not always a closed destiny. We must see the difference between a temporary setback and a permanent situation. As we journey through life we may be faced with closed doors but God in his infinite love will open doors that no man can shut.

Talk about it

In what way have you experienced closed doors?

How can we learn to act or interprete our situations when we face a close door?


Key Point: When God allows a closed door we can trust that he has the power to open a better door.


Prayer: Lord help me to see your hand in my setbacks and not give up on a breakthrough.

How Long?


How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

Psalm 13:1

Randy registered as an apprentice in a shipyard company. His dream of working as an expert in the dock needed him to learn under the guidance of an experienced ship yard instructor. But his goal was not going to be accomplished in a short period. He needed six years of training.

Sometimes time is needed for us to get what we want or desire in life. When we submit our prayers to God. He may not grant us our heart desires immediately. It may involve years of praying, believing and training through life circumstances.

The process of getting to our desired outcome can be prolonged in a way that we ask, how long ? But God is working on our dreams and putting every piece together. As we wait on God to lead us to our right end we can live by faith that he will do what is best for us and even if it would require time and waiting, God will never fail us.


Talk about it

Is there something you have been praying for God to do?

How does trusting God help you as you wait for him to solve the problem?

Key Point: Be patient with God and yourself.

The Authority of the Bible

But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.

2 Timothy 3:14

Cynthia and Erica were both involved in a ghastly motor accident on their way back from their hometown as the new year began. Both of them had visitors coming to check on them after hearing the news. Cynthia had a perspective on what happened that day and gave her own story based on that while Erica told a story of how it happened with both stories having some sort of difference in certain details.

Have you ever questioned the authenticity of the Bible? The Bible was inspired by God but written out by men with different perspectives and situations. Take the book of Matthew and Luke for instance. They both have similar stories written by two different authors based on their individual perspectives of the events. This perspective issue has given some discrepancies to the Bible before some men who feel the details in the bible is incorrect.

Reading the Bible as a whole document shows that each part is consistent with each other and each part fits together. Despite the shortcomings of the Bible it is God’s word and the authority of the Bible is consistent. The Bible was inspired by God and written out by men and its messages and guidance should be trusted.

Talk about it

In what ways do you find the Bible inconsistent?

Do you read the Bible as a whole document?

Key Point: The Bible is God’s word written out by flawed humans.

Prayer: Father help me to trust the stories in the Bible and also use it as my authority on earth.

Serving

Therefore brethren, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom.

Acts 6: 3

Steve enrolled in the military force of the United States at age 27 serving his nation for 30 years. Despite having a degree in Law. Stephen chose to remain in the army to serve his nation despite several opportunities to work elsewhere. He got promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General by the age of 44 and was amongst those who restored peace to Iraq during the removal of its dictatorial leader.

Service requires great dedication and commitment. Some people have the heart to serve while some others do not. They prefer to sit on the sidelines. Service to the kingdom of God is one of the reasons we are saved. God brought us out of a life of sin so we can also reach out to those who have not known Jesus.

Service to God may require us to sacrifice our time and resources. It should not be done without zeal. God expects our service to him to be one that will set a good example to others.

Whether we made a voluntary decision to serve or whether we were appointed to serve, we must give God our all. Service can take different forms in the body of Christ. Not every one is called to be a drummer or an usher or a preacher but we must find a place to fix ourselves so we can serve God. Every member of the body of Christ is significant whether our roles make us popular or not.

Talk about it

Have you been appointed to serve?

Do you desire to serve ?

In what ways can you advance the kingdom of God ?

Key Point: Service to God is an authentic way of surrender to God.

Prayer: Lord help me to serve you diligently. Amen

Waiting on a Promise

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him

Isaiah 11:1&2

Philly has been working in a shopping mall since he relocated to Great Britain 10 years back. He has been seeking a good job in another City. A job in Fashion and Designs. He is yet to get the kind of job he desires in the area where he intends to use his skill.

Waiting for something we expect can be burdensome. While we wait we can become weary. Even when our waiting is done with prayers and faith. In the Bible God promised his people Israel that he will bring a messiah who will put an end to their sufferings and pain. It took many years and yet Jesus had not come. Many were already getting despondent by the waiting.

Anna the Prophet was among those waiting for Jesus. She finally met baby Jesus and seeing him gave her great joy. We can praise God whenever he fulfills his promise and we can still praise him while we wait on him to fulfill his promises because he doesn’t fail.

Talk about it

How long have you waited on God ?

How do you comfort yourself as you wait?

Key Point: We can wait on God knowing he will keep to his promises

Prayer: Father I thank you for all you have done for me help me to praise you while I wait for you to do your work.

Born to Do It

Before I formed you in your mom’s womb. I have known you and already set you aside to give prophecies to nations.

Jeremiah 1:5

December 29 2022 saw the passing away of Brazilian football legend Pele. What a great footballer he was, winning three world cups and scoring over 750 official goals to his credit. Pele was a football genius. A master goal scorer and when once asked about his abilities he said ” I was born for football as Beethoven was for Music and Michael Angelo was for painting”

When babies are born. We cannot really know them as humans. Even with the scientific help of ultrasounds .We can only identify some of their possible traits and characteristics. But God is not like us humans.

Long time ago, Jeremiah already wrote about God’s words about his calling to be a prophet. God had given Jeremiah a prophetic mandate. God has a purpose and a proposal for our lives and we can get to that purpose by listening with a soft heart what God has said about us.

We can see Jeremiah’s life in parallel with his calling. As we set out to do what God has gifted us to do may we do it with the zeal, desire and dexterity with which we have been greatly endowed. May we also not be distracted by contrary opinions in our bid to carry out our assignment.

Sweetness of Companionship

Kiss me and kiss me again, for your love is sweeter than wine.
Songs of Solomon 1:2

In the Movie My Heart Beat, Selena Maya falls in love with Marcus Alfred and their love life is a delight. For years she dreamed of having a romantic and caring partner and her dreams were nearing completion when he proposed to her by the beach sands. In a romantic show of his prowess he bought a diamond ring to seal his commitment.

Relationships vary from person to person and marriage can be a very great delight. When God said. ” A man shall leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh”. He was talking of a union of two loving hearts and minds ready to share forever with each other. While there may be many failed marriages. There are also many successful and good marriages that depicts the kind of love God talked about.

The Songs of Solomon was set aside to tell about the fundamentals of marriage and intimacy. The Shulamite woman is wooed by Solomon with words and affection that creates a lasting bond between them. Sweetness in marriage is God’s purpose for marriage. Loving relationships build loving marriages and loving marriages build loving homes. Marriage is sweet when you have someone who loves you unconditional and manages your defects rightly. God uses good marriages to build good homes and even the church. So be loving to your spouse and be open about building a good love life where companionship becomes sweet.

Singleness is Beneficial

The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

Genesis 2:18

Jake has just finished his College exams. He and his high school sweetheart Annabel are planning on a love life beyond College. Jake loves the thrill of being with his sweetheart Annabel but she is skeptical of the possibility of their relationship as they will likely be miles apart after college. She on the other hand desires a fresh start but is willing to give it a try for one year before reaching the decision.


When God said it is not good for a man to alone. It was not a total condemnation against singleness. As humans we desire to be in loving relationships where we feel every vibe. Love can sometimes be fascinating and thrilling. But intimacy is not the only means of expression of love and relationships is not the only means of keeping associations.

We live in a culture where if you are single at a certain stage of life it is considered an anomaly. There is the press hard button of society to settle down with someone or plan a long term love life whether the individual so desires or not. Being single should never be an anomaly. This kind of thinking can be detrimental to our judgements. Many ladies have rushed into marriage with people who became violent oppressors because of the fear of single hood. Many men have found themselves settling for who they really do not want as a result of this trend too.

But singleness can be a blessing in disguise as we have the opportunity to work on ourselves and see our unique independent traits. God wants us to also enjoy a life of being single as much as he wants us to have a partner to procreate. Every part of the process is good. As the book of Ecclesiastes puts it. " There is time for everything"
What relationship season are you in right now ? Embrace it. God wants us to be in relationships but he also wants us to be in healthy relationships that will enable our growth and happiness in helpful ways.


Key Point: Being single can be one of the most productive era of life. Embrace it. Being In a relationship can an also be very helpful so be open to it.


Prayer: Lord guide me see the good and bad sides of a relationship and help me keep only relationships that will be healthy for me.

Mind- Binding Spirits


Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7

Lisa lives in Northern Nigeria and was born there. She owns a school and desires to establish another one in the South. While her school has flourished over the years in the North her true vision is to see it established also in Port Harcourt. Lisa once had
a strong faith that it would be done in a matter of time but somehow reality has altered her belief and she finds herself doubting despite having prayed and gotten confirmation from God.


Have you ever reached a place in your walk with God where you begin to doubt things you previously believed?
It may be strange and difficult to comprehend. It can lead to you loosing the vision you have in your heart if it persists.

Satan knows your faith is like a muscle and the more you exercise it the more you are likely to see progress so he may try to infringe your faith by attacking your mind with severe doubt and unbelief. When a mind-binding spirit attacks it can result in loss of faith and vision.

As Christians we have to learn to decide to believe. God will always give us faith for things that are big because our natural minds will likely not be in agreement with them. A believer may know something in her heart but her mind may war against it.

If you're having problems believing what God had already declared to you begin to pray against the mind-binding spirit so you can be liberated.


Talk about it

What vision have you previously believed that you are struggling to now accept?

Have you engaged in prayer against mind-binding spirits?


Key Point: The mind of the believer is like a muscle that can be improved by constant faith and belief.

Gradually Coming

But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!" (Habakkuk 2:3 LB



Blaise Alexander worked on his book " Coming " for twelve years before eventually publishing it. He narrated the many periods of confusion he went through in putting the work together. He expected it to take two years but it took twelve good years before it came to limelight.


Plans don't always come as we expect them. Even visions take even longer. Your delayed vision may not be as a result of anything you have not considered or done. Sometimes when God gives us a vision it may take a long time before we see it come to pass. It may take years and we may go through different seasons. Season of preparations. God will sometimes stretch your faith to see if you will still believe in his vision.

God is working on you as much as he is working on the vision. The Bible says " These plans won't happen immediately. You may need to be tenacious about it. People and sitiations may attempt to trip you as you head for the right destination but you have to make it and you will.


Talk about it

Are you stressed by the journey of your dreams ?


Key Point: God's vision for your life is a gradual process that requires patience and tenacity.


Prayer: Lord please help me to be tenacious as I walk towards the vision you have given me.

Why Nigeria’s loss to Ivory Coast is a National Pain

By Soibi Versatile

Nigerians have been going through a lot since the coming of President Bola Tinubu’s government. First with the removal of fuel subsidy and the rise of the dollar to 1500 Naira in the stock market. The new year had begun for most Nigerians in a very harsh manner as prices of goods had gone overboard and protests around the country were beginning to pile up, first with Northern Nigerian states and then the South West. What gave Nigerians a glimmer of happiness was the African Nations Cup as they watched their team win game after game and advance to the final.

The tournament began with a game against Equatorial Guinea where the Super Eagles played a 1-1 draw before defeating hosts Ivory Coast in the second match and then seeing off Guinea Bissau to clinch qualification for the Round of 16. In the Round of 16 they faced Cameroon and won the game 2-0, thanks to Ademola Lookman bagging a brace. The expectations were beginning to soar high as Nigerians around the world were developing interest in the tournament and the Super Eagles were gaining worldwide applauds.

Next came Angola in the Quarter finals. The Nigerian side led by coach Jose Peseiro did not disappoint as they squeezed past the Angolans courtesy of a wonderful goal by Ademola Lookman. Nigerians were then paired to face their rivals South Africa. The eagles led in the game before conceding a late penalty which was dispatched by T. Mokoena sending the game to extra time and then penalties.

Before the penalty shootout began many Nigerians were apprehensive as South Africa had survived a penalty shootout against Cape Verde with their goal keeper Ronwen Williams making four saves out of five breaking a FIFA record in the process. However as fortune will have it the Eagles made a heroic performance scoring 4 penalties with their goal keeper Stanley Nwabali saving two before senior man Kelechi Ihenacho scored the winner to send the Nigerian side to the final.

Nigerians were ecstatic and Twitter now X  was trending with banters of Amapiano and other ridiculous jokes. Most Nigerians expressed their optimism as the draws for the final was still awaiting.

” Ivory Coast again ” most Nigerians were hopeful. Some were skeptical as the manner of the Ivorians success in the competition was scary having qualified as best losers to reach the round of 16 before sending Senegal parking. In the quarter finals they went down to 10 and still beat Mali who were one of the favorites to progress to the last four before beating DR Congo despite being second best for most of the game to book a final with Nigeria.

Ivory Coast were the host and they quickly did themselves a favor by raising flight tickets from Nigeria and raising the cost of stadium tickets too to deter an increase in Nigerian support. The President of Nigeria Bola Tinubu was almost in attendance before Nigerians had begged him not to come for fear his presence would spoil the victory chances. He did stay back home. However the Vice President Kashim Shettima who was in the Semi final also came for the final.

The Super Eagles took the lead in the 38th minute  through skipper William Troost-Ekong despite being second best for most of the first half. The second half saw a spirited Ivorian comeback thanks to former Barcelona man Franck Kessie and Broussia Dortmund’s Sebastian Haller. The Super Eagles were defeated. Ivory Coast had had become African Champions against all odds.

In the midst of a severe economic hardship most Nigerians had at least shed the weight of the burden using football and there was some level of great unity spread across the nation. There was also some sort of national pride in being a Nigerian in a time most Nigerians had fled the country ( japa) because things were getting worse. The defeat brings Nigerians back to their reality of a dead economy and a nation ravaged by kidnapping and inflation. Should Nigeria had won? It would have been an anaesthesia that would have rubbed through the injurious last 9 months of the Bola Tinubu regime.

Be Hospitable

When she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels, too, until they have had enough to drink.” 

Genesis 24:19

Florence is a 52 year old cook. She has been in the food business for as long as 30 years. Every month she does the free food day where she gives out free food to the needy and also she has a policy of giving a discount to foreigners who eat in her restaurant whenever they visit.


Hospitality is rare in our generation. People are more concerned about their welfare and their means of making more income than showing kindness to others. The story of Rebecca and Eleazar is one that teaches hospitality. As Eleazar a servant of Abraham came in search of a wife for his master's son Isaac. His prayer was for God to lead him to a woman who has hospitality as one of her virtues. Rebecca didn't disappoint as she offered to assist them with water to drink and water for their camels. Her virtue of hospitality drew her to her rightful husband Isaac as Eleazar made sure he married her for Isaac.


In a world of me first, hospitality is becoming rare but as christians that should be our mantra. Jesus encouraged his followers to show kindness to strangers and share what they have with others. As we live daily we will be faced with circumstances that will need us to be gracious and kind to a stranger. May we not fail to be hospitable towards them.


Talk about it

Do you show hospitality to others?

In what ways can you be serving to those in need ?

Key Point: Hospitality is a mark of true Christianity.


Prayer: Lord help me to be hospitable to those I meet in Jesus name. Amen.

How the Ivorians Masterminded a Tactical Master class to beat Nigeria.

Ivory Coast Vs Nigeria

African Nations Cup Finals

Super Eagles of Nigeria today faced Ivory Coast in the final of the African Nations Cup. Both teams were initially paired in the group phase with the Super Eagles winning by 1-0 courtesy of a William Troost-Ekong penalty. However Ivory Coast who replaced their manager Jean-Lious Gassete after managing to qualify as third best are now being guided by former player Emerse Fae.

Ivory Coast came into this one with a 4-3-3 formation with Sebastian Hallee of Broussia Dortmund taking the lead attacking role Franck Kessie and Seko Fofana playing in a three man midfield. The Super Eagles fielded a 3-4-2-1 formation with Stanley Nwabali in goal and Victor Osimhen in the number 9 role. The Napoli man has only manged one goal but has been a torn in the flesh for opposition defenders. Samuel Chukweze takes the place of Moses Simon on the flank with Ademola Lookman also playing as a winger and Alex Iwobi in central midfield.


The game began as central referee Dahane Beida of Mauritania blows the whistle. Ivory Coast dominance is evident in the first fifteen minutes with a lot of possession and free flowing passes. Nigeria struggled to cope with the Ivory coast pressing as they are easily dispossessed. The game goes on a cooling break and as it resumes Ivory Coast still dominant and Sebastian Haller forces a save from Stanley Nwabali.

Nigeria finally get into the game with Alex Iwobi finding Zaidu. He fires a shot winning a corner before William Troost-Ekong rises highest to head in for goal number one. A fantastic goal one William Troost-Ekong will look back years from now and be proud of.

Super Eagles made a substitution, Samuel Chukweze comes off for Moses Simon. The Ivorians are now thrusting the ball high up into the air hoping for a defensive mishap and they finally score Franck Kessie with a fantastic header to level it for the hosts. 1-1. Game on.

Ivory Coast now take a more relaxed approach, sitting behind the ball. Nigeria win a free kick just near the 18 yard. It is swung unto the head of William Troost-Ekong. He makes contact with it but is unable to place it properly into an angle.

Ivory Coast begin to look like scoring as a good cross meets Sebastian Haller. He does an acrobatic that keeps Stanley Nwabali at a still but goes very close.

Ivory Coast swing in another wonderful cross as Sebastian Haller sticks his leg out and puts the ball into the net. 2-1

Ivory Coast defend and keep it at 2-1 to win the African Nations Cup.

A Collision With Destiny

I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

Ecclesiastes 9:11

Adam Song plays the saxophone very skillfully. Being born into a traditional church he learned the instrument at the early age of 8 and by the age of 18 he had become one of the best saxophonist in his country. One of the secrets to his success is his rich history of being born in a traditional church where he had so many instructors who guided him on how to play the saxophone. His in-born talent may have suffered had he been born somewhere else but time and chance played a critical role in helping him reach his true levels.


Do you know the meaning of the word chance? It means to collide with your destiny. It also means that you are headed in God's direction for your life. Nothing beats that coincidence.
Everyone of us has a God ordained destiny and God desires for us to collide with our destines.
Satan becomes very active in your affairs when he sees you are headed for the direction God has ordained for you. He will try to throw spanner into works and do all he can to deter your getting there. It may be in form of drugs, alcohol or any vice or hinderance he knows can help him slow down your accelerated move in God's direction.

Peter and his brother were entangled in fishing while God's will for their lives was evangelism. But they had a collision with destiny the day they met Jesus and when he asked them to drop their nets and follow him. They were finally in line with destiny. You could see that same Peter who was a fisherman became a very critical instrument in God's hand as Jesus has predicted about him, " Upon you I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail. The blind man at the gate also received his sight after meeting Jesus.


Talk about it ?

Are you struggling to collide with destiny ?

What do you think is the potential trap that could deter you from your collision with destiny?

Key Point: A collision with destiny saves you years of toiling and labor.


Prayer: Lord guide me to the right path and people you have set out for me. Amen.

A Good Book

Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and light unto my path
Psalm 119:105

Thomas loves reading books. His favourite book, ” Things fall Apart ” is an African novel written by Chinua Achebe that depicts African culture precolonial era. The book also describes the deep African values. A very interesting read. Not only does Thomas love African novels. He also loves American classics and anything that transcends to a good book. When Thomas was asked what makes a good read he said. ” Any book that teaches lessons and inspires me about the values of society old or new “

The Bible can so rightly be described as a good read. It contains words spoken long ago but carries truth about God, about the world and about humanity as a whole. The Bible is filled with interesting stories and inspiring words that can teach us a lot. When we are down the psalms written in it give us poetic hope and encouragement. When we need to know what God wants from us the book of proverbs guides us
When we need to know about faith in God we also learn that from the Bible. Such an awesome book and a good read.

Talk about it

What constitutes a good read to you?

Does the Bible teach you things you need to know ?

Key Point: The bible is God’s word pointing us to God by the way we relate with our fellow men.

Prayer: Lord help me to read your word and learn your values as I relate with your creation in my day to day life.

The Limits of New year Resolutions

Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead

Phil 3:13-14

Every new year we make resolutions and decisions to do one thing or not to do something. The new year is a good time for implementing new plans. It is a very good thing to set out to make changes and plans on how we will spend our fresh 365 days.

But research has shown that 85% of new year resolutions do not go beyond February. Many a times we make plans for a new year and we do not end up keeping to them. The reason for our lack of fulfilment is simple. Resolutions are not always enough to carry us through our difficulties.

We are humans and in as much as we try to be our very best sometimes we fall short because we fail to entrust our plans to God. Success in plans requires God’s grace not just a set of agreements within ourselves.

People have a habit of planning without consulting God and then it ends up not coming to fruition. If we are to have a more productive year we must not fail to commit to God all we intend to do and ask for his grace to be consistent in what we have intended to do.

Key Point: Resolutions are good but useless without God’s grace.

Prayer: Lord help me to be consistent in all that I have set out to do. Amen.

Necessary Endings

” The manna stopped the day after they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate the produce of Canaan.

Joshua 5:12

When Regan a civil engineer had his automobile business booming. He was so glad. He made so much profit in a space of eight months that he built a new home in his district and things were really going well for him, until the government changed policy on importation causing him to sell off his assets and do something new to generate a sustainable income. Initially it looked like a setback but he was able to make use of his skill in building and now owns one of the biggest construction companies in the country.

We all have times when things come to an end that we weren’t expecting. Things may be going fine and then all of a sudden there is a collapse.
It takes more faith to accept what God is doing when something that has been good turns bad. In the same ways we experienced God’s favour we may experience a bad break. It may make us to question God or fall into thinking, wondering what we did wrong. But sometimes God never ends something good without planning to bring in something better.

When the Israelites were in the desert on their way to the promise land. God made sure they had something to eat called manna. They didn’t need to work on the farm. God made a provision for them directly from heaven. But manna had its own purpose and time and it lasted for forty years. God had a plan for them to enter the land flowing with milk and honey full of potentials. God ended the rain of manna for new things to happen.

Are you disappointed or bitter over what came to an end? That job you loved so much?The relationship you put in so much effort? The business you had to change? When things come to an end something better can begin.

Talk about it

When good thing have you experienced that came to an end?

Do you trust God to begin something new and better ?

Key Point: When that which is good ends God can bring in something better and lasting.

Prayer: Lord thank you for all you have done for me. Help me to see the need for something better whenever something good comes to an end
