The committment to the well being of the people by their leadership revolves around procalmatiom and disappointment. In place of accountability, the image of the leadership is tarnished by obsession with self focused glory, wealth, and power. John 17:1-13 The Local Scene Potable and drinkable water, in addition to affordable housing, are among the major challenges confronting millions of Nigerians up to this moment. The leadership of government at all levels are yet to make provision forpotable water low cost houses Sadly, farmlands have been annexed by the government and converted into housing estates for moneybags and their cohorts. This has resulted in massive hunger and poverty in the land.

 The way of the exalted Lord is not the same as that of the ''powerful'' who live in material luxuries and protect themselves at the expense of the oppressed. All power and glory belongs to Jesus Christ, who is an embodiment of selflessness and self-giving. Embrace the acts of self-giving. The Local Scene The drift  continues unhindered,even though the dubious and questionable characters have gained in the whole world and no longer listen to the lamentations of the oppressed and downtrodden. They are in a hurry to grab as much as possible because the hand writing on the wall indicates that there are ominous times ahead.

  The Lord's leadership transcends boundaries of nations, language, and time. Believers from every place and every language worship Him. The exalted Lord is a credible symbol of hope and encouragement to all. Indeed, hope is precious to all those presently under the fierce grip of the oppressors. or those who discover that their faith is threatened by religious or agnostic influences. The source of comfort lies in the fact that the sovereignty of the Lord for all people is for all time. The Local Scene Below average is now the set standard for excellence wherever you turn to. This set of mortals is naturally backward and only guided by jealousy, envy, and wickedness. This informs the perpetual stagnant nature of most communities, where development is an aberration. Valuable time has been wasted and is still being wasted by stakerholders in society who have continued to glorify criminals and evildoers, who have surprisingly been elevated to the status of role models. The glaring ab...

 Our God is  caring. He will not allow the wicked to rule over His children or mislead them to do wrong. He knows that the wickedness of man on earth is very great.  Take note that every thought of man revolves around the intent to continue with evil. Our God will bring the wickedness of the wicked to an end and ensure that the haughtiness of the arrogant is cut short. Indeed, He will lay low the pride of the ruthless.

We ought to always give glory to God for the gift of intellect, discernment, innovation, strenght and beauty. Without doubt life is transcient and for this reason, we ave to make god use of every moment. We shuld never be swayed by the deceit and manipulation of the vengeful despots, but cal on the Lord to guide, strengthen and protect us from all the work of craftsmen and the agents of darkness. Hosea 13:1-16 The Local Scene Everywhere you visit, parents and gaurdans ave now become watchmen and women for their cidren, who engage in pick-pocketing in public places, burglary, breaking and entry and other social vices. Criminality is now the most reliable means to an end, as education gradually slides to the background. The orientation for children in most communities in Africa's most populous nation revolves around crime, deviant behavior, and indiscipline. The only visible explanation for the disturbing trend is that illiteracy has almost succeeded in eroding all that h...

The 12 tribes of Israel settled in the land of Canaan. In perilous times, judges led the people; Moses was the greatest of the leaders. However, several years later, the people of Israel began agitating for the coronation of kings. Although a certain number of their kings were men of integrity, others were corrupt and diabolic. Despite this, God continued to protect and guide His people. God chose prophets to reveal happenings to His people and teach them all they need to know about Him. Elijah was a prophet who shaped the lives and activities of the people through his prophecies and encounters. The Local Scene The criminals who maim and kill innocent citizens across the Federal Republic of Nigeria are all creations of Those-in-Charge. The helplessness and lack of political will to bring the disturbing situation under control is one of the major indicators of covert consent; this is in addition to the brazen and bold mindset of the non-state actors, which points to the full backing ...

  Believers who sustain a very close fellowship with God have all it takes to neutralize the most oppressive darkness and adverse situations. The Local Scene Education ministries in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory ought to make public the disturbing standard of education. The present situation is hopeless, as pupils and students exhibit traits that are very strange in educational institutions. The attitude of those in charge is that of helplessness, as learning takes the back seat across Nigeria. Sharp practices have overwhelmed most educational institutions, despite the huge investment in the education sector. The noticeable oddity everywhere is the sight of criminals in school uniforms, while society carries on as if this is now the norm. Read God's Word(All correspondence to solomon1day@gmail.com)

Jesus Christ taught about God through stories and parables. From the teachings of Jesus, we learn all that God requires from us. The expectation is that, having understood the teachings of Jesus, we will do what is right and proper all the time. Read Matthew 7 The Local Scene The leadership choice was founded and established on the foundation of indiscipline, lawlessness, and criminality. This is the major reason why decision-making from expected quarters has become not only a national embarrassment but also a stain on the reputation of an acclaimed role model in Africa. The citizenry, a significant number still hope to be literate, have no other option but to replicate the absurd at every level of government presence. Ordinarily, a faulty education results in impediments in governance, regardless of challenges that persist in the face of identified solutions. The destructive effects of a faulty education are everywhere for discerning minds to observe. Indeed, the increasing number of ...

  All of us ought to embrace unwavering hope. Hope is precious, most especially when confronted by crushing oppression. The oppressors have their temporary moment of power. Afterwards, they are replaced. The sovereignty of the Lord is eternal. Daniel 7:13,14 The Local Scene Those in charge in Nigeria have again given an insight into their unique brand of leadership in the South West. And the consequences of the insight are visible for all to see. However, millions of worried Nigerians insist that those who perpetrated the recent sate of nature in Osun state, were only acting out the script written by those who have continued to misuse political power with impunity, while simultaneously manipulating the machinery of state on both sides of he divide

  The people are now aware of the nocturnal conspiracy that persists in the offices of the ''wicked rulers'' of all levels of government. Heinous acts are directed and ordered with a single stroke of the pen. The lives of millions have been converted to dice by the leadership, even as men of God relentlessly expose those who scheme and cheat from hearts that are harder than rock. Read Judges 5:19 The Local Scene Those in charge are pressing on with policies that are anything but people-friendly, despite the loud outcry of millions of citizens. Surprisingly, the personalities involved revolve around threats, harassment, intimidation, and attacks through those that are responsible for the protection of lives and property. Curiously, the dictatorial attitude of the leadership has already attracted prompt measures from those whose approach to leadership is hinged on integrity, transparency and accountability.

 False doctrines start with the misinterpretation of the word of God by people. God gave us commandments to follow, but when we fail to follow them, there is a problem. We look for shortcuts to God, but there are no shortcuts to God. You have to follow the teachings in the Bible. People are moving away from the teachings in the Bible as a result of false doctrines. The devil is at work when a believer does not follow Jesus Christ. Most people tell so many lies to cover single lies. That is the situation in Nigeria today. The church knows the truth and the word of God, but so many refuse to follow the truth. So many have failed to live righteous lives. The trend now is to brainwash and cajole people into slavery through signs, wonders, and miracles shown to them. This replaces the word of God they ought to have been taught. They cajole and brainwash people to part with all they have through false doctrines. The Local Scene The mysterious deaths...

Elijah the prophet spoke out when the kings led their people off the track. He also taught the people of Israel all they needed to know about the Lord. Elijah alerted King Ahab of the imminent drought in the land, and afterwards, he went away to Zarephath, where God, through a widow, provided for all his needs. In times of need, God will show you His care and love by providing for all your needs. Read 1 Kings 18:1 The Local Scene Homosexuality, sodomy, pedophilia, defilement, rape among others have become worrisome crimes against humanity. Young children have long been initiated into these crimes, and they have now accepted them as ways of life. Olorunsogo, Molete, Molusi, Onafunwa Solanke, Oshodi, Aluko, Scout Camp, and Felele are all communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, where crime and criminality have now been integrated as the norms and values. However, the presence of adults in these communities exposes the origin of these social vices. Accusing fingers are pointing to the c...

  Develop the act of doing good always. Make it a habit. Good deeds are good reflections of your background and upbringing. Let people notice the good in you.

The love for God is an indication that we always do what He wants. God wants us to love and respect each other and also to live together in peace. But, unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case in this clime. However, an Ibadan-based Christian cleric, Pastor Opeyemi Ajayi, appeals to leaders and followers to love God in order to enable the fizzling out of the disturbing security, political, and economic situation everywhere. ''Our love for God should not wane or decline, as the love for God is the basis for addressing all challenges confronting humanity.'' Pastor Ajayi concluded. Read Deuteronomy 5: 16-21

It is imperative that we learn and practice all that is right. We must learn how to live as God's covenant people to pave the way for an unhindered worship of God with our whole hearts. Read Deuteronomy 5:1-15, 6:4, 5.

The times are full of evil, diabolism and fetish practices. To ward off evil, put on the Armor of God

Doing good now is better than doing good later. Read 23:41

Once you become born again, avoid the temptations of backsliding. In the present world, temptations abound; everywhere you go, it is now left for you as a true believer to resist such temptations. Do not become an enemy of yourself; meditate on the word regularly when you notice you are treading the wrong path. Look up to God, and painstakingly avoid looking up to man. Resist any attempt to backslide by anyone; it could be your friends, your colleagues at your place of work, your relations, or anyone close to you. Be steadfast. Hosea 11:7

You have to realize that the people you pay to keep watch over you and your property can only function to the maximum of their human ability. Their watchcare is not absolute, and therefore you must look to the greater Guardian, God, who is your keeper and your helper. If you are lying down in your home, you will sleep securely because the God who keeps you will not slumber, nor will He allow anyone to move your feet from their resting place. In these times, out of envy, jealousy, and hatred, men attempt to dig a pit under your feet in order to cause you to fall or in order to make you lose your position, your balance, your honor, or your office; but if you look up to God who dwells in heaven, if you trust in Him through Christ, no one will ever be able to move your feet away from security to destruction. He will keep you as the shepherd keeps his sheep so that you do not become the prey of wolves.

We want our heroes to remain on their pedestals so that we who aspire to be like them may hope one day to share in the honor and privilege they enjoy. Jesus Christ's humility shows itself in his readiness to serve us. Ours shows in our readiness to receive His service. It is said that it is better to give than to receive. But it is sometimes harder to receive; it puts us in debt to the one who gives and robs us of the pride of being in the position of giving to others. Read Proverbs 18:12
