Worthy Leaders

Image
God teaches us clearly from the Scriptures to respect and submit to leaders both secular and sacred as those He has placed over us for our own good. Provided such leaders are from God.  Leaders in the Local government, state and nation ought to be worthy leaders for the people to submit to them. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22 Nigerians and Their Quest for Affordable Education Vital literacy indicators reveal a deplorable condition in the Nigerian educational system. Indeed, adult literacy rate is embarrassing, while the number of out-of-school children has reached an all-time high rate.

Hearts of Stone

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


1And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

2And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

3And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.

4And 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.

5And 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.

6And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

Ceaseless Prayers

 Let us pray ceaselessly for God to open the eyes of those who have political power and have become committed to unjust economic policies and deep social injustices.  Amos 8:4-14 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;  yea , and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as  by  the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I wi...
