  • Fayemi’s victory, a demonstration of Ekiti people’s faith in APC – Ajimobi

    Fayemi’s victory, a demonstration of Ekiti people’s faith in APC – Ajimobi

    Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, has described the victory of Dr. Kayode Fayemi in the just-concluded gubernatorial election in Ekiti State as a demonstration of the people’s trust in the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party that has the capacity to liberate the state from mis-governance and gross under-development.

    The governor stated this in a congratulatory message issued by his Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Mr. Bolaji Tunji in Ibadan, on Sunday.

    He said that the outcome of the election which he described as free, fair and credible, was a reflection of the wishes and aspirations of the people of the state and a further demonstration of their faith that Fayemi’s second coming as governor would bring the socio-economic development which the state had been yearning for.

    While congratulating the governor-elect for engaging in intellectual and issue-based electioneering in all parts of the state, Ajimobi described his victory at the polls as well-deserved.

    He said: “Please accept my hearty felicitations, my brother, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on your outstanding performance at the just-concluded gubernatorial election which you won fair and square.

    “It was indeed a well-deserved victory and a reflection of the trust and confidence which the people of Ekiti State have in our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a party which has the capacity to liberate the state from the shackles of mis-governance and gross under-development.

    “I am equally happy that the issue-based electioneering which you took to all the nooks and crannies of Ekiti State, coupled with the active support of the party hierarchy at the national level and in all the APC-controlled states, eventually paid off with your victory at the polls.

    “I have no doubt that with your intellectual disposition, sagacity in public administration and as a tested hand, you will use your wealth of experience to turn things around for Ekiti and take the state to greater heights.’’

    The governor also congratulated the people of the state for making the right choice by voting Fayemi and APC, and, by extension, returning the state to the mainstream, assuring them that the governor-elect and the party would not disappoint them.

    Governor Ajimobi equally commended the electoral umpire for conducting a free, fair and hitch- free election which has shown their level of preparedness and readiness for the governorship election and the 2019 elections.

  • Faith cancels fear – Prince Ufford

    Faith cancels fear – Prince Ufford

    By Prince Ufford

    Matt 14:28-31. “But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid :and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.”

    *Your attitude can CRIPPLE YOUR faith. Your religious mentality can cripple your faith. Your attitude of unbelief can cripple the supernatural working power of faith over your Life. Notice he said, Jesus is that you? Ask me to Come, Jesus said to Him, come. *He stepped out of the boat walking on water to go to Jesus. Suddenly, storm arose. Sudden fear took hold of Him. Fear stopped his faith from functioning. Fear quenched his faith. Then he said Jesus save me. Satan’s intention is to use circumstances to disorganize you. He is the enemy of progress. So watch out for him. Faith will stop fear.

    *Jesus said, have faith in God when Peter drew his attention to the fig tree which he addressed the previous day. Doubt and unbelief spiritually will stop your faith from working for you. Peter had faith but fear stopped him from walking on water.

    *Numbers 13:26 – Moses sent twelve spies to go and look at the land which God had promised them, a land flowing with milk and honey. They did, search the land, they saw the land with every thing God told Moses God’s servant. They even came back from spying the land with fruits as evidence. They brought these fruits to show the people. While in the land, they saw different ‘types of people whom they described as giants. Based on what they told Moses: “We cannot go in to take possession of the land, we are unable to because we are too small compare with who they are”. They brought back an evil report to the people instead of good news.

    *Doubt cuts off power supply supernatural.
    *Doubt terminates the power of faith. *Doubt says to faith you have no right to be here.
    *Hebrew 11 :1 ” Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not physically seen”. Faith is a spiritual key to unlock supernatural power to work things on your behalf. Peter believed he could walk on water, his faith made it possible. But
    what he saw took over from faith because he allow himself to be distracted.
    A man came to Jesus Christ in MARK 5 :23: MY LITTLE DAUGHTER LIETH AT THE POINT OF DEATH :I PRAY THEE, COME AND LAY THY HANDS ON HER, THAT SHE MAY BE HEALED : AND SHE SHALL LIVE.

    *Sometimes delay is not the end, in verses 35-36, while He Yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house certain which said, thy daughter is dead :why troublest thou the MASTER any further? As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be NOT afraid only believe. Fear will kill your faith if Not checked.

    *Jesus said to Peter why did you doubt, O you of little faith; but doubt came and push faith out. The mission of satan is to steal , to kill, to destroy. Faith will grant you access to abundant Blessing in Christ Jesus.

    *Rom 4:18 “who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the Father of many nations :according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be “.

    *He was not weak In faith even at hundred years old.
    *He staggered not at the promises of God through unbelief,
    *But he was Strong in faith, giving glory to God.
    *He was certainly fully persuaded of God because he knew God, had a walking relationship with God, he knew that God loved him, he did not doubt God. Through faith we understand that the elders obtained good report.

    *You will enjoy grace with good report by faith. Victorious living is the will of God for you, but you must be willing to have faith in Him. No matter how difficult the circumstances may look like, keep your eyes on Him. It may look naturally hard, don’t give up on God. You must believe that He is able. Job said he will wait until his change comes. He did not give up on God. I know my redeemer liveth, he proclaimed.

    *Even when it looked so impossible for Sarah naturally to have a baby, she by understanding judged God faithful. Faith is of God, doubt is of the devil. Faith brings you into the presence of God. In fact, doubt takes you away from Him. Do not allow situation to make you shift your focus away from Him because the moment you shift focus, the enemy will pull you out from faith. But for Jesus Christ, satan would have successfully destroyed Peter.

    *In Nigeria today, fear is everywhere. Fear and darkness work together to achieve their purpose. Light and truth work together to give you access to victory in life. You did not receive the spirit of fear from God.

    *Fear is destructive. Have you ever heard somebody say so boldly I am afraid it will not work. Fear is not of God because when you became born again into the kingdom of God, you did not receive Fear as one of the Blessings. Therefore, knowing the truth and operating with the truth consciously will drive Fear away from you. What Peter saw made him to become afraid. Fear is wicked. Fear is bad. Fear is hard. Fear associates with darkness. Fear steals faith, fear kills faith, fear destroys faith. Which you must resist steadfastly in faith because Fear can destroy your destiny by preventing you from going forward.

    * Fear does not have good report. The world’s system is fully governed, controlled in Fear. Fear therefore indeed is the enemy of success, prosperity, victory. Life is full of challenges which with faith in God you will surely come out victorious.

    *Lack of money to start a business will create fear in the heart. Peter cried out for help because he saw himself going down. You started business with all the money you have hoping to receive harvest, instead of harvest, you lost the business. You’ll become afraid. Fear will take hold of you. You will be discouraged to start another one. Jesus Christ said to Peter, ‘why did you doubt O you of little faith’ . The same little faith can move mountain if you believe. Peter according to his faith started out well but what he saw stopped him. Failure create discouragement. Do not give attention to fear. Faith will make you Happy but fear will make you sad.

    *Hebrew 11 :6 ” without faith it is Impossible to pleased God. He that cometh to God must believe that he is the rewarder of them who diligently seek Him.”
    Remember fear does not make things right, rather worse. But faith will make all things possible.
