Topic: The End Time Is Here [Seeds of Destiny 23 September 2019 Devotional] SCRIPTURE:  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.  Matthew 24:12 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:  We are closer to the end of the world than any other time in history. It is important to know that all the signs and events in the world today are confirmations that the end of age is at hand. The reality of heaven and hell cannot be disputed. And God is merciful and gracious enough to reveal to us the signs of the end while we are still alive. We are going to look at the signs that confirm that we are in the end of time. Today we shall be looking at The Abundance of Iniquity. Our anchor scripture says that in the end time iniquity shall abound (Matthew 24:12).

DCLM Daily Manna – How To Overcome

Topic: How To Overcome [DCLM Daily Manna 23 September 2019 Daily Devotional By Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi] Text:  Psalm 77:1-9 (KJV) 1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah. 4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. 7 Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? 8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? 9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. Key Verse:  “I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice

Sowore's Trial Will Dent Your Image, Shehu Sani Tells Buhari

Former federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani, has condemned charges of treason and felony levelled against pro-democracy campaigner, Omoyele Sowore, by the government. In a statement on Sunday in Abuja, Sani described the trial as unnecessary and uncalled for, adding that the action would further stain and diminish the human rights record of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.  He said, "Sowore’s charges amount to electrocution of freedom.  "The democratic credentials of any elected government is not simply about the legitimacy of its mandate but about the degree of its tolerance to dissent and compliance with the fundamental principles of freedom. "I appeal to the government to drop the charges filed against Sowore.  "Our democracy is becoming inhabitable and inhospitable to its ideal content.  "When a state equates dissent to disloyalty, it progressively decays under the weight of its courtiers."  Sani added that if the government was c

Justice Sector Reform Should Top The Agenda In Oyo State

Nelson Olanipekun has advised that the justice sector should top the agenda for Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State, who just celebrated 100 days in office. Olanipekun’s Lead for Citizens Gavel, a civic tech and justice sector reform advocacy organisation, believes that “justice reform that can increase the pace of justice delivery in the state” should top the agenda for Makinde’s government. “Oyo State has one of the highest numbers of awaiting trial detainees which stands at 86 per cent based on our April data survey, this is higher than the national average which stands at 69 per cent,” Olanipekun stated. Data collected from 16 local government areas in the state reveal that over 20 per cent of citizens arrested by the police are brutalised during and after arrest. It was also gathered that over 80 per cent of inmates were not treated fairly by prison wardens and this is against the conditions of detention in police custody and pre-trial detention stated in the L

Soyinka: 'Sowore, Welcome To The Club' As Nobel Laureate Slams Buhari Regime As Being Paranoid

  Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, says the President Muhammadu Buhari regime has attained an “unprecedented level of paranoia” following the charges of treason filed against human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore. In a statement on Saturday, Soyinka said the nation had failed to learn from past experiences. He said, “This is utterly depressing news. So, the Sowore affair has moved beyond harassment and taken on a sinister direction. Outside the country where I happened to be engaged at the moment, I can testify that the immediate reaction around me was to dismiss this as yet another grotesque product of fake news, of which Nigerians have become the greatest practitioners. I confess that I also joined in this school of thought – at the start. “Further checks have however confirmed that this government has indeed attained an unprecedented level of paranoia. I do not believe that the justice department itself believes in these improbable charges, as formally

There Was Malpractice In Ongoing Police Recruitment –PSC Commissioner

  The Police Service Commission says it will remove the names of candidates who did not participate in the recruitment process for 10,000 constables, but whose names were added to the final list by the police high command. The board explained that a genuine list would be released after the strange names on the list had been weeded out. A PSC Commissioner, Austin Braimoh, told Punch that the candidates’ list that was released by the force was “polluted". It was gathered that the names of genuine candidates were replaced with those who did not participate in the exercise. A former workers’ union chairman at the police service commission, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he knew some candidates who performed very well in the examinations but whose names were allegedly removed during the medical screening by the police over their inability to pay huge bribes. He said, “I know a candidate in Oyo State whose name was removed during the medical scre

COZA Rape Scandal: Fatoyinbo Rejects Lawsuit, Says Case 'Filed Out Of Time'

  The Senior Pastor and Founder of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo, says he has no business interfacing with Busola Dakolo in the law court over the allegation of rape levelled against him because the lawsuit was "filed out of time". Busola, wife of Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo had sued Fatoyinbo for raping her when she was a teenager. The COZA pastor denied the allegation.
