Three innocent lives were confirmed lost yesterday in Gangare, Barkin Ladi. They were not criminals. They were not armed men looking for war. They were fathers, brothers, sons… human beings keeping watch through the night, trying to protect their community from yet another attack. And now their blood cries out from the ground.
What hurts even more is that there was already intelligence about this attack. Warnings existed. Fear had already filled the hearts of the people. Yet once again, death came in the darkness like a daily routine. How did we get to a point where human beings are slaughtered almost every day, and the world barely pauses to speak? How many more graves must be dug before humanity finally opens its eyes?
Sometimes one cannot help but ask painful questions:
Where do these dangerous weapons and ammunition come from?
Who keeps supplying them?
Who keeps funding this evil?
Who keeps empowering men to destroy villages, murder worshippers, and leave children orphaned simply because of their faith?
The silence is painful.
The lack of publicity is heartbreaking.
It feels as though the suffering of innocent Christians and vulnerable communities is slowly being ignored by the world.
The Bible says in Psalm 34:18:
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Today our hearts are crushed.
Mothers are crying.
Children are traumatized.
Families are burying loved ones they prayed with only hours before they were killed.
But even in the middle of this darkness, we refuse to surrender our faith.
Romans 8:35 says:
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?”
No sword will silence the Body of Christ.
No terror will stop believers from praying.
No amount of persecution will destroy our hope in God.
We may cry, but we will not be silent.
We may mourn, but we will not stop speaking up.
We may be wounded, but we will continue standing for truth and righteousness.
We pray for the families of those who were killed in Gangare.
May God comfort every grieving heart.
May He strengthen every widow and protect every child left behind.
May the Lord expose every hidden work of darkness and bring justice upon those responsible for this bloodshed.
Father in Heaven,
We lift up the people of Barkin Ladi before You.
Stretch forth Your mighty hand and protect innocent communities from further attacks.
Give courage to those living in fear.
Heal the wounded.
Comfort the brokenhearted.
And let Your light shine in every place where darkness has tried to reign.
Lord, we will not give up.
We will keep praying.
We will keep speaking up.
We will keep standing for the Body of Christ until justice, peace, and mercy prevail.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4
Dear BRETHRENS
Heard the Nigerian Police in Plateau State are claiming the videos of yesterday’s attacks on mourners burying the seven Christians killed on Tuesday were “made up.” I wonder if this picture too was staged. I wonder if the tears of mothers are staged. I wonder if the blood on the ground was edited. I wonder if the cries of children running for their lives were all acting.
How long will people continue to deny the pain of innocent souls?
The Bible says “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness” Isaiah 5:20
You can silence the media
You can threaten the weak
You can deny the truth before men
But nobody can hide the truth from God
There is always a reward for everything done under heaven. Men may escape justice on earth, but nobody escapes the judgment of God. It may look like God is sleeping. It may look like heaven is quiet while innocent blood cries from the ground. But the God who answered Pharaoh, the God who brought down Sodom and Gomorrah, the God who humbled Nebuchadnezzar, the God who struck Herod after he glorified himself that same God is still alive.
When God’s vengeance comes, it comes like fire.
Pharaoh hardened his heart and thought nobody could stop him, until the Red Sea became his grave
Haman built gallows for Mordecai and ended up hanging on them himself
Jezebel mocked righteousness until dogs ate her flesh according to the word of God
“Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord” Romans 12:19
We are wounded but we are not silent
We are grieving but we are not defeated
We are crying but we will not stop speaking for humanity
The truth is this:
We will never give up
We will keep speaking
We will keep praying
We will keep fighting for humanity
Until one day the world will no longer pretend not to see our pain
The blood of innocent people is crying before God day and night
And one day, justice will answer.
“Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy” Psalm 82:3
Please remember Plateau State in your prayers.
Remember the widows.
Remember the orphans.
Remember the wounded.
And remember those whose only crime was their faith in Christ. 💔😭
I thought God was done with me when I traveled to America
If you follow God with this kind of mindset you’ll miss many things in God.
This will bless you!

When I visited Nigeria, the government responded swiftly to quell a coup in Benin.
Nigeria’s willingness to step in to stop a violent attack in another country, while they stand by as their own Christian citizens are brutalized makes these absolutely horrific scenes unfolding in Plateau State all the more unconscionable.
Christians — who were gathered for a mass burial for those killed in a previous attack — were viciously murdered by radical Islamic terrorists.
The Nigerian Government could root out the terrorism and stop the martyrdom of its own citizens. But, despite receiving early warnings of impending attacks, they are nowhere to be found as Christians are murdered for their faith, like lambs led to slaughter.
Enough is enough.
I am grateful the Trump Administration specifically identified protecting Christians in Nigeria in the administration’s new Counterterrorism Strategy. Now, I am asking the Trump Administration to take forceful action to defend our innocent brothers and sisters in Christ in the Middle Belt of Nigeria, the epicenter of an ongoing Christian genocide.
👇🏾👇🏾This was Evangelist T L Osborne's crusade in northern Nigeria in a Muslim community many years ago where a man born crippled received instant healing and stood up straight and began to walk. It sounds and looks impossible but God did it.
Miracles ARE REAL TO HIM THAT BELIEVES 🙌🏽🙌🏽
If God can restore this man born crippled, what is that challenge or need that you think that God cannot handle?
JUST IN 🚨 Nigerian Christians are calling on President Trump to send help to defeat the Islamists that have murdered thousands of Christians & burned churches.
These are members of one family killed all in one night
A father silenced
A mother taken
Children gone without goodbye
One home shattered in a single moment
One night turned into endless mourning
One family wiped away as if their lives meant nothing
