Let us pray for minorities who are vulnerable in a hostile environment—that they will know the ultimate security of faith.    Read Acts 14:21-28.   The Local Scene It is very sad and disturbing to note that up to this moment, there is yet to be a convincing improvement in the well-being of millions of Nigerians. The economic policy thrust of the present administration deliberately prevents citizens from accessing the basic necessities of life without hindrance. Indeed, Nigerians are yet to be empowered to be more economically productive, while their quality of life has rapidly deteriorated. Sadly, the measures taken by those in charge to reduce the incidence of poverty, for now, are of no significant impact on the lives of the downtrodden people.

Resist the temptation to attract believers for self-centered reasons in religious life. Attract for only the Lord. Read Acts 14:8-20. The Local Scene The poor management of the enormous human and material resources in Nigeria has constituted a disturbing developmental setback in these perilous times. The approach in addressing the multifarious challenges will, without doubt, serve as a determinant of the country's development characteristics in the years in view. Indeed, policy defects have, to a large extent, scared off foreign direct investment, regardless of the very large domestic market. Sadly, the organized private sector is now so weak that most stakeholders now engage in distributive activities. A preserve for the informal sector. The economic direction of those in charge ought to be guided by the prevailing situation and also the lessons of experience.
