    Cleric advises on last-minute miracles @Pa Aziken’s 90th birthday thanksgiving+Photos

    Christians should tap into the lessons from the last-minute miraculous developments that preceded the birth of Jesus Christ Rev. Sunday Ossai of Emmanuel Baptist Church, Agbor, Delta State has said.

    Speaking at the Christmas Eve cum 90th birthday thanksgiving service for Pa Sunday Aziken, Rev Ossai pointed at the resilience of the father of John the Baptist, Zechariah who he said remained unflinching to the end until he brought forth his son, a miracle who came in his old age.

    According to Rev Ossai, Jesus was born under difficult circumstances including the delayed birth of John the Baptist who was to act as his forerunner.

    He thus charged Christians everywhere especially in Nigeria faced with challenging circumstances not to give up on fetching from God’s grace in Nigeria.

    Rev Ossai in his very brief message commended the life of Deacon Aziken saying his attitude of respect was worthy of emulation.

    He also commended Aziken’s commitment to the things of God saying that the humility of Elder Aziken and his devotion to the things of God were reasons for the outpouring of goodwill towards him at the 90th Thanksgiving service.

    The service was interspersed with praises, thanksgiving, and worship.

  • [Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: The miracle is in the obedience

    [Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: The miracle is in the obedience

    By Oke Chinye

    Read: LUKE 17: 11-19

    Meditation verse:

    So, when He saw them, He said to them, ‘go show yourself to the priests.’ And so, it was that as they went, they were cleansed”. (Luke 17:14).

    The story of the ten lepers highlights the importance of obedience and faith. As they cried to Jesus concerning their situation, am certain they expected Him to say: ‘be healed’ or ‘you are cleansed from your leprosy’. But Jesus said ‘go show yourself to the priests’ and that was it. Had they not obeyed Jesus’ command they would not have received their miracle.

    I have often pondered on this story and wondered what our reaction would be in today’s church. Wouldn’t we be utterly disappointed? Wouldn’t we murmur and complain?  ‘Show ourselves to the priests?’He didn’t even touch us, how does showing ourselves to the priests count for anything? Have the priests not seen us all this while?’ These are just a few of the complaints that we would have muttered. 

    God does not owe us an obligation to answer our prayers in the way or manner we desire.  Oftentimes, we expect Him to act in a particular way, and when He gives a command or stirs us in a direction that does not match our expectations, we struggle with obeying or fail to obey. If our eyes were to be opened to behold the miracles and blessings that we have missed due to our disobedience, we would be greatly saddened. 

    Learn to trust God completely this year and commit to obeying his leading, whether it makes sense to you or not. The miracle is always in the obedience.

  • Nigeria Decides 2023: No miracle on earth will make APC or PDP win – NNPP Spokesman

    Nigeria Decides 2023: No miracle on earth will make APC or PDP win – NNPP Spokesman

    Spokesman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), Abdulmumin Jibrin has said no miracle will make the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) win the 2023 presidential election.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Jibrin, who is a former member of the Nigerian House of Representatives, said this on Monday while stressing that the presidential candidate of the NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso will win the election.

    Jibrin argued that the presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu cannot in any way benefit from the advantage of President Muhammadu Buhari in the forthcoming presidential election.

    The NNPP Spokesman, speaking on Channels TV Politics Today, opined that Northern votes will come in bulk and that they will go to Kwankwaso because of his credibility, and the trust that the Northern voters have in him.

    “When they do their analysis, all the time, they talk about only the PDP. They say PDP lost Kwankwaso, PDP lost Peter Obi and PDP lost 5 governors. Yes, PDP is in crisis, PDP is in a mess but APC is even in a more challenging and more damaging situation.

    “One, that 12 million vote is not there. Two, when you say Kwankwaso left PDP, the assumption is that he left with only PDP people. Many people from APC joined him. Where did I come from? Am I not coming from APC?

    “As it stands today, APC has lost about 70 to 80 of its support based in Northern Nigeria. By the time Kwankwaso mop up those votes, particularly in the North Western part of the country, we will be able to win the election.

    “I dont see how the APC will win the election. There is no miracle on earth will APC or PDP win the next presidential election. We are winning the election.

    “The North always tilt to a particular side. The Northern vote will come in bulk. It is not going to go into pieces. And because of the credibility of Kwankwaso, because of the performance of Kwankwaso, because of the trust that the Northern voters have in this gentle man, Kwankwaso is going to mop substantially the vote that is going to come from the Northern part of the country.

    “Kwankwaso is the beneficiary of the Buhari 12 million votes. Certainly, a Northern politician would have to come up to inherit that because Buhari’s politics is commoners’ politics, masses based. None of the surviving Northern politicians has that connection with the masses like Kwankwaso,” Jibrin said.

    NNPP inaugurates 2023 Presidential Campaign Council

    Meanwhile, the NNPP on Monday inaugurated its 2023 Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) known as Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (RMK2023 PCC) for the success of the party in the 2023 presidential election.

    The NNPP Presidential Candidate, inaugurating the council in Abuja, said the party would continue to work for a new and better Nigeria to kick-start from May 29.

    Kwankwaso said that the “RMK2023 Presidential Campaign Council (PCC)’’ was made up of four organs including the PCC, the Management of the PCC, the Board of Advisors, and the Committees of the PCC.

    He said that all the organs would be working in sync for the success of the NNPP in the 2023 presidential elections.

    He urged all Nigerians, especially NNPP members, especially support groups such as the Kwankwasiyya, and the TNM etc to join hands to continue to mobilise supports and votes for the party.

    Kwankwaso said that the party “Presidential Road Campaign’’ had visited all the states of the federation with the exception of three states.

    He said that the party deliberately chose to do the road campaign to avail itself with the difficulties that Nigerian road users were living with across the country

    “We have covered tens of thousands of kilometres and visited over 300 local government areas so far.

    “We have gone through difficult terrains, visited hard-to-reach communities like Illela in Sokoto State, Kauran Namoda in Zamfara State, Kamba in Kebbi State, Mubi in Adamawa State, Ikom and Ughep in Cross River State.

    “Geidam in Yobe State, Ikare in Ondo State, Kwoi in Kaduna State and numerous such other places.’’

    Kwankwaso said that in all the places visited, the party took time to visit the traditional and religious leaders in the areas in its determination to carry them along when it eventually took over power.

    “In particular, these leaders will be the drivers of our flagship initiative of Community Participation and Reorientation Committees (CPRC), which we intend to create at all the 8809 wards.

    “This committees will be funded directly from the Federal Government through appropriate legislations.’’

    kwankwaso added that it was gratifying that NNPP met with the under-served communities across the country, we listened to their experiences, their grievances, their fears and their expectations.

    He said that the experiences on the road campaign had further strengthened NNPP’s commitment to the pledges it had made to Nigerians.

    “Let me remind us that we are determined to reform the education sector to improve quality and access at all levels.

    “Specifically we will provide 500 thousand classrooms across the states of the federation to accommodate the over 20 million out-of-school children that we planned to mop up from the streets of Nigeria.

    “We will make all application forms for admission and employment free; we will make all examinations such us WAEC, NECO, NABTEB, NBIAS, JAMB etc. free;’’

    He added that NNPP would introduce a four-year moratorium for JAMB so that Nigerian children co9uld use the same JAMB results to gain admission into tertiary education institutions.

    “We will upgrade and expand all our universities, polytechnics and colleges of education and raise their standard to global competitiveness.’’

    Kwankwaso disclosed that the party would be putting its campaign rallies on holds for a couple of days to honour an invitation from London.

    “I am happy to announce that beginning from Jan. 12 this month, we will start our Zonal Rallies in Bauchi for the Northeast, Kaduna on the 14th for the North West, and Lafia on the 16th for the North Central.

    “We will pause the zonal rallies for a couple of days to create time to travel to London to honour the invitation from the Royal Institute of International Affairs Chatham House and present a discussion paper to a selected global audience.

    “Immediately we return from London, we shall resume the zonal rallies and complete the remaining zones.’’

    Highlight of the occasion include the unveiling of Fundraising Portal by the party to support  Kwankwaso presidential ambition.

    Kwankwaso expressed his gratitude to all supporters and volunteers for their commitment and the purchasing power of the peoples.

    The campaign organisation, comprising “The Council, The Management, The Advisory Board, and The Committees,’’ is to be chaired by Kwankwaso  while the Campaign is headed by a technocrat, Madam Folashade Aliu as the National Campaign Secretary.

    Boniface Aniebonam, BoT Chairman; the Party Presidential running mate Bishop Isaac Idahosa, Deputy Chairman; Prof. Rufai Alkali Deputy Chairman II; Contact and Mobilisation Committee is chaired by Buba Galadima.

  • Gov Akeredolu turns evangelist, says I’m a child of God’s miracle

    Gov Akeredolu turns evangelist, says I’m a child of God’s miracle

    Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on Thursday turned into an evangelist at the Global Crusade of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry in Ondo town.

    The Governor led members of the State Executive Council including the Secretary to the State Government, Princess Oladunni Odu; the Head of Service, Pastor Kayode Ogundele and Commissioners as well as Special Advisers to the crusade.

    Governor Akeredolu appreciated the Founder and General Superintendent of the Church, Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi, who is also the convener of Global Crusade with Kumuyi (GCK) for the invitation extended to him and the warm reception.

    The six days crusade titled “Triumphant Power” is holding at the Ondo Anglican Grammar School, Along Ife Road, Ondo, between Thursday, August 25 to Tuesday, August 30, 2022.

    In his remarks, Arakunrin Akeredolu said he chose to attend the crusade not really as a Governor but as a Son of God who has come to praise God.

    While charging the congregation to thank God for the gift of life, the Governor said he is a strong believer in the God Almighty.

    Governor Akeredolu described himself as a Miracle Child, adding that those who do not believe in Miracle would not believe in his success story, particularly on his first victory as the Governor of the State.

    He said:”We are talking about Triumphant Power of the Son of righteousness. All of us know who the Son of righteousness is. I can not preach to you. I can only say that I am a strong believer in my Lord Jesus Christ.

    “I have said it over and over to those of you who are from Ondo state. I am a miracle child. I have confessed it severally. And I said to people, my first election here, not the one I lost, the second one that I won. I have said to people and I said over and over again. If you don’t believe in miracle, you will not believe my success at that election.

    “We did it without the support of anybody except God. There is no way I will hear of such a crusade like this , in a state where God has put me as a chief servant, that I will not come. I am here, not really as a Governor, but as a son of God. I am here to praise my father.”

    The convener of GCK, Pastor William Kumuyi, who delivered his sermon on “Triumphant Power of the Son of Righteousness”, admonished christians to always believe and put their trust in God.

    He noted that “the Son, our redeemer is mighty to save,” hence the people should rely on God who is capable of doing all things.

    The man of God explained that believers are not just children of God but sons and daughters of royalty.

  • How I slept at T.B Joshua’s altar for weeks with no miracle – Amokachi

    How I slept at T.B Joshua’s altar for weeks with no miracle – Amokachi

    Former Super Eagles forward and Nigeria’s soccer ambassador, Daniel Amokachi has revealed how all his attempts to get a miracle healing failed despite sleeping at the altar of Prophet T.B Joshua’s Synagogue Church of All Nations for weeks.

    Amokachi had flown back to the Lagos-based Synagogue Church of All Nations while attempting to relaunch his career after suffering a protracted knee injury he sustained ahead of the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

    “The Bull”, as fondly called, told Brila FM on Friday that he was not healed even though he saw miracles at Synagogue.

    According to the former Everton star, “I was at the church on the invitation of a friend who is a member. My friend, at that time, told me about the man of God and that I could meet my miracle if I met with the Pastor.

    “At first, I wasn’t giving to it, but I later agreed and flew down to Nigeria from England to see the Pastor.

    “I slept by the church’s altar for several weeks to receive healing. I was not healed, but I saw lots of miracles that happened to people.”

    His football career more or less ended after he left Turkish aide Beşiktaş in 1999.

    He failed medical test after signing with 1860 Munich and the contract was cancelled.

  • Miracle, BBNaija ‘Double Wahala’ winner now certified Instrument Rated Pilot

    Miracle, BBNaija ‘Double Wahala’ winner now certified Instrument Rated Pilot

    Miracle Ikechukwu, winner of the 2018 Big Brother Naija(BBN) ‘Double Wahala’ show, has obtained his certification as an “Instrument Rated” pilot.

    He took to his Instagram page @miracleikechukwu to share the news, as he post a picture of his duty post.

    He wrote: “A lot of turbulence while en-route but finally landed.. “Instrument Rated!”.. It’s only Your Grace Lord.. Thank You.. and to everyone who has supported meh thus far, I Appreciate… GOD Bless..”

     

    Miracle was in aviation school prior to the BBNaija show, and however returned to complete his training immediately after clinching the grand prize.

    His total winning prize included N25 million cash, a Sub-Urban Vehicle (SUV) worth N12 million and a trip for two valued N4.7 million, Television and other electronic items worth N3.3 million.

    The ambitious young man expressed his resolve during the eviction nights where he wore his piloting uniform each time he was up for possible eviction.

    He had earlier in 2018 announced acquisition of both Private Pilot License (PPL) and Flight Dispatcher License (FDL).

    An Instrument Rating, in Aviation Parlance, is a qualification that pilot must have in addition to a Private Pilot or Commercial Pilot License to fly under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR).

    It requires additional training and instruction beyond what is required for a private pilot certificate or commercial pilot certificate.

    The check ride is divided into an oral component to ascertain that applicants understand the theory of instrument flying and an actual flight to ensure the pilot possesses the practical skills required for safe IFR flight.
