The Voice of God

We must never be manipulated by secular thinking because God our creator has some impressive and undeniable ways to make us sensible in His presence.
God's creative power is visible and audible.
The voice of God is a call to worship. 
The One who not only rules the universe but also gives strength to His people.
LISTEN WITH THE EARS of FAITH, YOU WILL EAR THE VOICE OF GOD.
READ PSALM 29

Violent crimes still persist in every part of Nigeria, this is very disturbing, unfortunate, pitiable and a very sad commentary. 

It may be very surprising of any right-thinking citizen to absolve politically exposed persons in government, government officials and criminal elements in uniforms of the persistent violent crimes.

The primary duty of those in uniforms is the protection of lives and property. For information purposes only.

In Olorunsogo, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo state, cultists whose hideout still remains at No. 8 Kehinde Aderibigbe street, Oyo state and a student at Ibadan Grammar School by one Imole Adewale and sponsored by some dropouts including one Lekan Adewale and Segun Adewale, who for several years have been terrorizing residents of the ancient city, Sunday 8th February 2026, broke into a building, No. 3 and made away with valuables running into millions of Naira.

An unspecified number of innocent citizens have been killed by these criminals, who freely move around in public.

It is now obvious that the major legacy the leadership at all levels of government will leave behind revolves around:

1)Illiteracy 2) Lawlessness 3) Indiscipline 4) Criminality 5) Immorality 6) 7) Evil

Indeed, the cultists were able to operate for two hours unhindered with the covert support of residents.

The heavy presence of strangers under the guise of makeshift iron sheets containers and wooden shop owners in most communities in the ancient city has exposed the mindset of the leadership.

Expectedly, happenings in various parts of the city are no longer surprising to citizens, as visible reason abound everywhere you know.

Sadly, several young people have been co-opted into the vicious cycle of heinous and grievous crimes.

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...
