President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria is billed to visit United States of America next week (This was written before the President’s visit to the US last week). He is expected to meet with President Obama, his Vice, top US functionaries and the business community. But the trip is already generating controversy because of the suspected inclusion of the pressure to repeal the Nigerian anti-gay law on the US agenda.

It is unbelievable to learn that a New York-based Satanist group has announced the proposed unveiling of its sculpted ‘homage to Satan’, which it seeks to place next to a 10 Commandments monument on the grounds of the Oklahoma state capitol building. It recently announced that the statue, which features the goat-headed figure Baphomet making the sign for the occult as he sits upon a throne with a pentagram overhead and children fixate their eyes upon him on both sides was nearing completion.

They would take all and even destroy the left over. Israel would only run away and hide in the mountains and caves.

When King Jehoshaphat learnt that these three nations were coming against his country, he quickly mobilised the entire country (men, women, and children) to seek the face of God. He didn’t go first to take the inventory of his armoury. He had soldiers and weapons, but he first summoned the people from all the towns of Judah to fast and pray. And he led the prayers by himself. This clearly shows you where his confidence lies
King Hezekiah immediately took this letter of threat to the Temple and spread it before God; making a very powerful, comprehensive, biblical supplication on behalf of Judah. I love men that pray. You cannot defeat a man of prayer and holiness

“Now there were four men with leprosy sitting at the entrance of the city gates
How do you feel each time you read what happened at the River Jordan? It makes me to fear God the more. He is indeed the Almighty: “When the people set out to cross the Jordan, the priests who were carrying the Ark of the Covenant went ahead of them

It is very important to understand and assimilate this principle because a lot of people fail at this point. They know the target, they fast and pray and even sometimes get directives on what to do, but unfortunately, they don’t take the steps to actualize the goal or vision
The weather was becoming dangerous for long voyages by then because it was so late in the fall
When you live in bitterness, unforgiving, fear, hatred, envy, anxiety, impatience, etc, you are breaking psychological as well as spiritual laws. When you don’t eat right, you don’t expect to live long and healthy because you are already breaking a law that has God put in place to help you
