CAN Meets With Elrufai
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) had advised Kaduna state Governor Nasir El-Rufai to channel his energy to combating security challenges plaguing the state rather than on preaching and praying. According to CAN, the state is currently bedeviled with kidnappings of people on the highway, in their farms and homes and other forms of insecurity yet the governor was more concerned about regulating religious activities.
Rivers Is a Christian State- Wike
Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers, says the state is “Christian state and cannot be touched by anyone”. Nigeria is a secular nation, according to the constitution.
But speaking during a crusade organised by the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Church in Port Harcourt, the state capital, the governor said God heard the prayers of the Christian community in the state and the people prevailed against “forces”. He had said it was God’s intervention that ensured his victory in the March governorship election. The governor said his administration would continue to support and partner with the church.
Osinbajo opens up on Nigeria’s current challenges
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Sunday said the current challenges facing Nigeria were signs that the country was bound for greatness.
Osinbajo made the statement while addressing the congregation during service at a branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) in Bronx, New York.
The vice president, who is on a four-day visit to the United States, said greatness was impossible without a period of difficulties as currently being experienced by Nigeria.

The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. — James 3:17
The world, in the last few years, has reverted to a sort of barbarism. As practical Christianity has declined, rudeness and violence have increased. Neighbors quarrel with neighbors. Fighting is a major problem in our schools and the “gang wars” of the teenagers have come to present a serious menace in our cities.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. – Proverbs 18:21
Words are serious business. And, as believers, we need to get serious about learning how to use them. We need to begin to put them to work for us like God Himself does. The Bible tells us that He uses words to “call those things which be not as though they were” (Romans 4:17).
Most of us don’t have the faintest idea how to do that. We’ve spent our lives “telling it like it is.” We’ve constantly used our mouths to report on the sorry state of affairs around us. Thus, the very thought of calling “things which be not as though they were” seems a little crazy.

Running with the Vision! By Bishop David Oyedepo
Running with the Vision! By Bishop David Oyedepo
WELCOME to another impactful week. I hope you were blessed by last week teaching. Today, we shall focus on: Running with the Vision!
From scriptures, we understand that we do not sleep with vision, we run with it. It is written: I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry (Habakkuk 2:1-3).It is the pursuit of vision that gives value to divine purpose. Many of us have an understanding of God’s plan for our lives but we have difficulties when it comes to fulfilling it. Knowing where we are going is just the beginning of the journey because without motion, we will never get to our destination.

Good Time Management by Pastor David Ibiyeomie
Good Time Management by Pastor David Ibiyeomie
Eph. 5:16 – Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Time management is the ability to use your time effectively or productively especially at work. It is the process of planning how to divide your time between specific activities and how long you spend on each assignment.
Good time management enables you to work smarter; not harder so that you get more work done in less time. Failure to manage time damages one’s effectiveness and causes stress.
Malcom X said ‘In all our deeds, the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure’
Consequences of failing to manage time effectively
