Hearts of Stone

Image
Let us pray ceaselessly for those whose attitude is reminiscent of the hard-hearted Pharaoh of Egypt, for God to positively impact on their lives. ​Mark 3:1-6 1 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand,  Stand forth. 4 And he saith unto them,  Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill?  But they held their peace. 5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man,  Stretch forth thine hand.  And he stretched  it  out: and his hand was restored whole as the other. 6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

The Unifying Factors


Tara Fela-Durotoye Quote: “A nation is not defined by its borders or the boundaries of its land mass Rather, a nation is defined by adverse people ...”

A number of political office holders are occupying public offices today by the grace of miscreants who facilitated them into office.

These miscreants have carried out so many acts that are not in tandem with the statutory laws of the land.

However, as a result of the influence wielding culture, they remain untouchable.

Interestingly, indiscipline, lawlessness, crime and criminality are the unifying factors among citizens of diverse ethnic, social, political and religious backgrounds.

This is the prevailing situation in Nigeria, where the leadership in certain states, pays the piper and dictates the tune.

Such a leadership, as described above, must be compelled to take responsibility and give account for all the innocent human lives that have been lost from 2019 till the present moment in the affected states.

''The state government has continued to treat health workers on its payroll with levity. We are not happy about this, the government should urgently address our demands, they stated. However, the chairman of the unit, Comrade Olanrewaju Ajani disclosed that of all the demands of the health workers, the state government had only reviewed the hazard allowance. ''Before the 21-day ultimatum we gave the state government on 4th March 2024 elapsed, the government appealed to us to be patient. We appeal to the state government to do something on time. We have provided enough evidence. It is only the hazard allowance that has bee

We want a Living Wage-Federal workers

''We call for justice, we demand a decent, fair and just living wage for the federal work force. We will resist and reject anything less than a living wage. Our government should also not forget to clear all outstanding arrears owed to the federal workers. We specially call on the NLC/TUC to be very reasonable and pragmatic in their negotiation for a new national minimum wage. We are in total support of the position of the NLC/TUC for a yearly review of the national minimum wage,'' Comrade Emelieze stated.

''You need adequate knowledge to pray effectively. Knowledge is very important. In addition, secondly, you must have the right motive for God to answer your prayers. God looks at our motives. God does not grant prayer hinged on wrong motives. When your motive is wrong, it becomes a barrier, it becomes a hindrance. Nothing will hinder your prayers from today, God will answer your prayers,'' he prayed.
