JOIN THE PROTEST: Aren't you tired of hearing about this?


Say no to rape

From the assassination of Tina, a 16-year-old Nigerian girl, to the murder and assault of Uwa, a student at Benin State University, to the deliberate murder of George Floyd, an American citizen, the world makes me sick. I keep seeing protests from many places in response to terrible killings. I'm in anguish, my heart bleeds, and I have nightmares about people demonstrating. I read sorrowful words everyday, people are bitter and I see lots of tears and agony on the media. 

Uwa, who went to church and was violated, perished in a place she would have termed a safe place, while George Floyd, who was reportedly implicated, was killed by a police officer who is a core racist and definitely had him as a target. I can't help but scream in my brain; it's far too much; how much longer will this last?

Just in case you will like to be a part of the movement and protest peacefully online, you can help sign the petitions.

    This is a truly heartbreaking time in this world, and it is sickening. I was unaware of the others you mentioned besides George Floyd - those are absolutely horrific.

“Become A Dutiful Watchman”

Key Verse “So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me” (Ezekiel 33:7). Text —Ezekiel 33:4-9 Message A watchman is a security guard. He helps to ensure the safety of a building or an environment. The story of Rick Rescorla is a good example of a dutiful watchman. He was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the World Trade Center’s South Tower. He was said to have regularly conducted escape drills with employees which they heeded, thereby saving their lives during the 9/11 attacks in New York. He equally led people down the stairs to safety. It is believed that his being dutiful saved the lives of more than 2,500 employees. He was not only proactive by drilling the employees before the terrible event, he also risked his life to guide many people out to safety. By our text of today, beloved, you are set a watchman. Wherever you are is your duty post until you receive a call to duty elsewhere. Barnabas and Saul were busy with the brethren in the church in Antioch before the Holy Ghost called them to missionary work (Acts 13:1-3). Today is World Day for Safety and Health at Work. Pray as led. Quote Beloved, you are a watchman Challenge Watchman, warn youths and all of the danger of hell. Prayer for today Holy Father, help me to warn the world with your word.
