BUHARI ADMINISTRATION: A REGRETTABLE MISTAKE!

One of the virtue of a real man is his ability to accept his mistakes and wrongdoing. All along I have always criticize government policies and not personality or administration (at least not half way), but at the junction with the police ban on 2face protest, I make bold to say I regret ever campaigning or voting for president Mohammadu Buhari. It should be noted that I have no iota of regret Nigerians replace Goodluck Jonathan, it's the best thing we have done for ourselves in decade, but I regret he was replaced by PMB. 

OONI CELEBRATES OSOOSI DEITY OF WORSHIP CONGREGATION, SAYS YORUBA RELIGION CAN SOLVE THE CHALLENGES OF PEACE IN AFRICA

The festival was attended by dignitaries from different countries and continents in the world especially America and the Caribbean countries. He lamented that the neglect of tradition in the Africa continent contributed to Nigeria's challenges.

For the challenge to be resolved, he said that people must develop positive attitudes towards the Yoruba and Africa traditions.‎

ATTEMPTED RAPE: The Johns In Congress

Na today? They are used to shagging their maids. They don't go to parties unless the host organizes Runs Girls for them. They don't sleep alone on official tour unless there is a Jane. They don't even sleep with one girl. Who does that anymore? That is so old school! They sleep with two, three, four; same night, same bed. If you are in doubt, Google Dino Melaye, the habitual John and thoroughbred sperm donor. If you are still wondering why lawmakers should be soliciting prostitutes in the United States, check out how Sani Yerima the Sharia king, went in search of a tighter vagina in Egypt. They appear on the television and in the open like frown magnets and bad gaskets during the day and they take refuge swimming inside where they came from at night behaving like Mimosa - doing open and close.

Spectrum of Leadership Vision(lessness) & Hopeless Followership - Oluseyi Faseyiku

From Buhari to the youngest state chief executive, Yahaya Bello, tell me whose offspring can be found in a Nigerian college or a local university.

I do not pity Mr. Nasir El-Rufai. If truly he is determined to effect a change in a small portion of that poverty landscape called the Kaduna State he has his work cut out for him. The greatest paradox of that change and its challenges is when his vision and foresight as a leader are completely beyond the people or group he leads. When I read that there were demonstrations in Kaduna against the anti-begging legislation I knew we do have a problem, a huge one. Mr. El-Rufai isn't a purist and should not be fully credited with a 21st century idea of society for his people, but we must arguably admit that he does have a 20th century vision. But when you have a 20th century perspective, as inelegant or outmoded as that is, but the people you lead are still trapped in their 14th century jacket, there is so much to do. You must get them into the 15th century first and if that works, move them into the 16th and with real success get into the 17th until you arrive where you had earlier hoped. The problem is that this guy has only four years, maximum eight, to transport a state of 6.3 million people into the 20th century and that is it. If he leaves while they are in the 16th century, and his successor, unfortunately, happens to be weaned to the 15th, there it is clear that they will go back to their Egypt, which is still the 14th century.

Labour Day: Remembering Nigerian Workers

Labour Day which is observed annually as International Workers’ Day on the 1st of May had its origin in the May 4th 1886 Hay Market massacre. The massacre was as a result of series of protest for a better welfare package and conducive working conditions including an 8-hour work day.

The 4th May, 1886 demonstration later turned into a riot after an unidentified person threw a bomb at the police on the scene, the bomb blast and the ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of about 8 police officers and undetermined numbers of the protesting workers injured.

The Hay Market incident was viewed as a setback for the organized Labour movement in America, which was fighting for the rights of workers.

Air strikes pound rebel-held areas of Aleppo, thousands flee under cover of darkness

At least 20 air strikes hit rebel-held areas of Syria's northern city of Aleppo on Saturday, in the ninth straight day of violence in which bombardments by both sides have killed nearly 250 civilians, a monitoring group said.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights did not immediately say whether Syrian government warplanes or Russian jets, which have been supporting Damascus, carried out the strikes.

Bombing by the government side on rebel-held areas of Aleppo since April 22 have killed 140 people including 19 children, the Observatory said.

Was God Angry the Day He Created the Nigerian? - Pius Adesanmi.

I make a rich selection from the buffet and settle approvingly on a French wine. It's still three hours to the boarding of that flight to London and on to homeland.

The plan: enjoy a meal, and settle down to French wining while mentally visualizing the delivery of my speech, "Hating Nigeria to Greatness" at The Platform 2015 on Independence Day. Tweak the speech here and there. Envision the cadence of delivery. Envision stage management and body movement with Chris Oyakhilome's stage practice always a guide. You see, prosperity Pentecostal Pastors do have their uses after all. I spend hours watching Chris Oyakhilome's videos to learn from his uses of the stage...

When you have such grandiose pre-flight plans, do not sit in front of a flatscreen in the lounge. Your plans will be ruined.

MEMORY VERSE: Hosea 4:17

Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. 

READ: HOSEA 5:8-15

8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.

9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.

10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

Boko Haram: USA Delivers Military Equipment to Nigeria

In its avowed determination to give technical support to the Nigerian military, the United States of America yesterday confirmed the delivery of special military equipment to the Nigerian government as part of efforts to assist the country in the rescue operation of the over 200 school girls abducted from Chibok in Borno State over two months ago.

The United States Diplomatic Mission to Nigeria confirmed the delivery of the equipment.

The USA, according to a statement from the Public Affairs section of the embassy, delivered sophisticated military transportation and communication gadgets to the Nigerian Armed Force last Monday in Abuja.

Why Fayose Won! Elections in Nigeria are not won on social media

The elites on social media are as usual doing what they know best: Speaking elegant queen English about the emergence of Fayose as the unofficial Governor-elect of Ekiti State. I have read all manners of insult hurled at Ekiti People for choosing a tout over an intellectual and I laugh.

Most of us on social media especially the champions and overlords who gets comments, shares and retweets on our updates are disconnected from the reality that is Nigeria; social media is an effective tool for social re-engineering and mobilization. It is an avenue to network, release tensed up energy and be informed on the latest gist in town, but elections in Nigeria are not won on social media.

No sacrifice is too much for Chibok girls - Baraje

IIorin - A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Kawu Baraje, said on Sunday that no sacrifice would be too much to secure the release of the abducted Chibok girls.  Speaking with newsmen at the graduation ceremony of Baraje Centre for Arabic and Islamic Studies, llorin, the chieftain said the country should consider the swap option being canvassed by the insurgents.

“If the United States of America swapped five prisoners to secure the life of an America soldier, it will not be too much for the Federal Government to negotiate and meet the sect's condition for the release of the abducted girls.”

“Whatever kind of appeasement that will appease the people that are holding these girls should be done, whether negotiation, whether transition, we saw America do it. Just for one person America released five insurgents,” he said.

CHIBOK SCHOOL GIRLS: AMERICA AND THE UK, THE REAL PARASITES TO OUR NATION BY ENAHORO

TODAY’S NIGERIA PRESIDENT IS GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, YOU MAY BE THE NEXT…WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HATE SEED PLANTED AGAINST GEJ TODAY?

Give the cupboard key to the thief in the house to keep and the meat in the soup therein will be protected. America's hand is not clean about terrorism in all part of the world, Boko Haram in Nigeria inclusive.

They are behind advanced terrorism and should come and clean the mess.

Obama may be innocent, but America as a country is not. While not exonerating the incapacitation of our leaders as well as the kind of politics our politicians plays with lives of citizens, it is key to note that the powerful role Nigeria is playing in the Africa polity ranging from liberating South Africa to freedom, providing big brother in the resolution of Liberia crisis and many other parts of Africa and the world at large, the America seem to see Nigeria as a threat to their domineering powerful role in all parts of the world. They use their secret bad guys to create terrorists directing them for specific action and tried to play international politics to seek for their assistance.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL For Friday 24 January 2015 "GOD IS STILL IN CHARGE"BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

Memory Verse: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Colossians 1:17

Read: Jeremiah 31:35

35 Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: 


Message

God is at the core of the creation of Heaven and Earth. Without Him, there could never have been anything. The opening verses of Genesis 1 reveal the activities of God in making creation suitable for man’s habitation. 
Unlike many ancient and modern writers who assume what they do not know about creation, Moses, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit began his account of creation in Genesis with conviction and plain claims. 
By revelation, he knew God was behind creation and he stated it plainly as that. This kind of accurate knowledge that takes a writer back to several years before his time could only come by revelation. 

Some theologians say that the earth had been in that disorderly state for several millions and billions of years and scientists also claim that archaeological discoveries reveal prehistoric matters that had existed before man was created to exercise dominion over creation. Whatever it was, the point is that with God, there can be a new beginning no matter how far back the record of disorderliness and darkness in anybody’s life may go. 

The most important period in your life begins when God gives you a new beginning. 

The wastage of the past; the crisis of the past and the darkness of the past will give way for a new beginning when God commands a new sunrise in your life. 
I decree on behalf of my Daddy in heaven, that every disorderliness and darkness in your life will give way in Jesus’ Name.

Before God commanded the light to be, the Bible says the earth was void and without form, and darkness reigned over creation. This state was totally against what God had in mind for creating the heavens and the earth, but this problem was not beyond redemption. 

We must let this fact sink into our minds: that God is still in charge of His universe. The Lord can redesign your life which the enemy may have battered. Your achievements may be nothing to compare with what God had in mind about you from the beginning and darkness may be reigning supreme in your life instead of light.

 God will give you a new beginning because He has control over the entire creation. He is completely in charge. 
Several years ago, one of my children went to America to study. There was a change in government and the new government refused to continue with his scholarship. Things got so bad for him and his family that there was no food in the house, but God Almighty who will always be in charge sent some Americans who were going on house-to-house evangelism to them. 
On realising that this couple and their set of twins were starving, they did not only provide food but also a job for his wife. 
Today, the family has at least two houses that I know about in America. This season shall mark the beginning of new things in your life in Jesus’ Name.

Prayer Point:

Father, speak your creative words into my life and turn it around for good in Jesus’ Name.

GOFAMINT VICTORY MONTH PRAYER POINTS FOR DAY 22: MIGHTY MOVE OF GOD IN ALL OUR CHURCHES IN EUROPE, AMERICA, ASIA AND AUSTRALIA

THE GOSPEL FAITH MISSION INTERNATIONAL (GOFAMINT)

DAY 22: THURSDAY 23RD JANUARY 2014

FOCUS: MIGHTY MOVE OF GOD IN ALL OUR CHURCHES IN EUROPE, AMERICA ASIA AND AUSTRALIA

TEXTS: Acts 16:6-10; Isaiah 60:9, 18.

INSIGHT FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYING

The Lord gave our G.O, Pastor (Dr.) E.O. Abina, the vision to cover all the Continents of the World by Year 2010 (Vision 2010) and to the glory of God, this was achieved in year 2010.

Right now, the burden of the ministry is to cover all the nations of the world in each continent. This is in consonance with the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20). It is a task that must be done, if indeed we are to retain the word ‘International’ in our name. Our coverage is still currently far from our expectations, and hence the need for this prayer.

Apostle Paul developed a regional apostolic network in order to cover the then known world. It is time the GOFAMINT also utilizes all her known potentials to network the gospel in all nations. The time is short, the harvest is plentiful, but committed laborers or harvesters are few!

Apostle Paul spent altogether thirteen years planting Churches: first missionary journey A.D. 47-54 about three years; second missionary journey A.D. 50-54; four to five years; third missionary journey A.D. 54-58; at least four years. Paul spent only about ten yeas for establishing a regional apostolic network (which covered his second and third missionary journeys). He had over fifty individuals involved with his apostolic ministry in the Mediterranean regions.

From the composition of his apostolic network, we can see the geographical and spiritual coverage of his ministerial mantle. It covered “the world” of his time. His ministry was established over a geographical region of many advancements: intellectualism, politics, military, commerce, trading, agriculture and industry. Paul had indeed developed, the largest regional network of ministry recorded in the Bible. He had active fellowship and associations with people in most of the essential cities of his time.

 Right now, the GOFAMINT has Churches in some countries of Europe, such as England, Ireland, Belgium and France. There are still several nations in Europe which we are yet to cover. Even the nations where we are now, our impact is yet to be felt as desired. We must pray hard for better results. The same scenario plays itself out in America (North and South) while in Asia or Middle East, we only exist for now in Philippines, United Arab Emirate and Israel. Australia is a separate continent and we bless God that we had made incultion into the capital city most recently (2010).

The zeal of the Lord of hosts will surely bring to performance our desire to occupy all other nations for Him in Jesus’ name. This prayer session will create in us a big burden to fulfill the great commission with the urgency it deserves. The Lord will also use this prayer session to provide the needed finance in local and foreign currencies.

LET US  PRAY

1.      Let us bless the Lord for the advances that have been made so far on our foreign mission fields by highly committed missionaries.

2.      Let us also give thanks to God for the financial resources so far raised both in local and foreign currencies that facilitates entrance into these nations.

3.      We cover all our foreign missionaries with the Blood of Jesus and with the glory of God as they go to the foreign fields with the message of the gospel, even in hostile territories.

4.      O Lord, we commit into Your hands the nations in the Missionary Window ’10-40’, that you will grant us grace for a strategic advance of the gospel into these Nations in Jesus’ name.

5.      O Lord, let Your glory manifest in us as we enter into various unreached areas in Jesus’ name.

6.      We pray that there will be Macedonian doors that will fling open for us to enter and we shall possess all needed logistic backing to these countries in Jesus’ name.

7.      O Lord, it is time to enlarge the coasts of GOFAMINT globally. Let every spirit of impossibility, Goliath, Sanbalat and Tobiah bow before us as we take giant steps of faith to the Nations.

8.      As our Churches in USA have just got a new national leadership, let us pray that the Holy Ghost will work with them and give them a revisit of Pentecostal revival.

9.      Pray that our Churches in USA will become financial hub of blessings for many of our Foreign Mission fields and as they sow to these fields, their capacities too should continue to be enlarged in Jesus’ name.

10.    In the Middle East, our Church has been feebly footed in Israel and United Arab Emirate. These are very hard grounds. Pray that as we rekindle the fire in Israel, the Lord will grant us more open doors with massive conversions of the indigenes, and strengthen our base in United Arab Emirate.

11.    Our Church plans to make further gains into such Muslim strongholds as Jordan, Quarter and Malaysia. Let us pray for open doors that will make this a possibility this year.

12.    Let us pray for our Foreign Missions Board, being led by the G.O, Pastor (Dr.) E.O. Abina, that God will grant divine insight and revelation to them that will make the financing of these foreign fields relatively stress-free.

13.    Asia currently commands the largest human population in the world with China nearly 1.4 billion and India 1.1 billion. Our Church has no physical presence in any of these nations, let us therefore pray that the Lord will raise up groaners, goers and givers for these lands.

14.    Our Church in Canada needs to be strengthened for further expansion. Let us pray that help will arise for us in this country so that the Church will grow stronger to become a sower field for others.

15.    Our Church needs to have stronger physical presence in South America. Let us pray that covenant helpers will rise for GOFAMINT in these locations.

16.    Our Church in Australia needs strong financial support. Let us pray that covenant helpers will rise for us in that continent to strengthen the mission.

17.    Let us pray that God will raise up strong professionals, who can use their connections as tent makers to help many of our existing foreign Missions fields, especially with the model being canvassed at Philippines.

18.    Let us also pray that in the same way God raised ministry associates for Paul who spanned so many careers and professions, He will also raise for us in GOFAMINT in both public and private sectors.

19.    Let us pray that in as much the exchange rate of Naira to Dollars makes it an uphill task to fund these fields from Nigeria, the Lord will raise up financial support in the currencies of the host nations of our foreign fields.

20.    Pray that our Church will be able to ride upon the challenge of technological interface of these advanced nations to present the gospel to them at their various levels.

21.       Pray that none of these nations moral bankruptcy will affect our members resident there, this should rather be catalysts of change and revival for them.

22.    Because the Lord told the people of Israel, “you have stayed for too long on this side of the mountain…”, pray that the spirit of “Kadesh Barnear” that goes round in circles creating slackness in possessing the land, will not come upon us in our bid to possess more nations for Christ.

23.    O Lord, cause Your terror to fall upon those illegal occupants of our territories and send hornets before us to scare them away. Declare that we will inherit the land and many souls will be brought to God through us this year.

24.    Pray for all our Missionaries in these foreign fields that they will be baptized with a special anointing for advancing the gospel in their locations through signs and wonders
