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.

    I did not know about those 2 other murders. Thank you for sharing. I'm disgusted in this world.

    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.

“Power To Become God’s Child” Monday, May 19, 2025

“The Prayer Of The Righteous” Tuesday, May 20, 2025 Key Verse “…the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16). Text —James 5:13-18 Message Our text illustrates clearly the potency of the prayer of the righteous. Unlimited possibilities abound when prayers are offered from the life of a true righteous child of God. The Lord is far from the sinner, but hears the prayer of the godly. When Daniel and his three friends prayed, God gave a night vision to Daniel that saved many lives in Babylon (Daniel 2:17-19). Prayer on a daily basis is very essential in our walk of faith with Christ. We have to adjust the way we view prayer. Prayer shouldn’t seem like a burden to us. Charles Spurgeon said, “Not to pray because you do not feel fit to pray is like saying, “I will not take medicine because I’m too ill.” Pray yourself, by the Spirit’s assistance, into a praying frame. Pray for spiritual and physical healing for sick family and friends. Pray for excellent performance in every endeavour. Don’t doubt what God can do through you. God is omnipotent and does all things in line with His will and promises. For answered prayers, ensure there is no sin in your life. Quote Don’t doubt what God can do Challenge Prayer is the master key to unlimited possibilities. Prayer for today Oh Lord, teach me to pray, so I don’t fall prey to Satan.
