My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace be unto you in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today, the 15th day of June, 2026, my heart is heavy. I speak not as a politician, but as a pastor who has sat with widows, prayed over fresh graves, comforted orphaned children, and listened to the cries of families who have lost everything.
For many Christian communities across Nigeria, the fear has not ended. In many villages, people still go to sleep wondering if they will live to see another sunrise. Churches gather for worship with anxiety. Farmers go to their fields not knowing whether they will return to their wives and children. Families are displaced, and many innocent people continue to suffer from violence and insecurity.
One year after the terrible tragedy in Yelwata, the pain remains fresh in our hearts. We remember the mothers who never returned home, the fathers who died protecting their children, and the innocent souls whose only desire was to live in peace and worship God freely. Their blood still cries out for justice.
The Holy Bible says in Psalm 34:18,
"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
I have walked among brokenhearted people. I have seen children asking where their parents are. I have met old men who spent a lifetime building a home only to watch it burn in a single night. I have prayed with women whose tears have become their daily bread.
Yet, despite all this pain, we refuse to surrender our faith.
Jesus Himself warned us in John 16:33:
"In this world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."
Our cry today is not for revenge. Our cry is for justice, for protection of innocent lives, and for a Nigeria where no person should fear because of their faith, ethnicity, or community.
I also call upon the conscience of the world. Do not look away from the suffering of ordinary Nigerians. Hear the voices of the displaced. Remember the wounded. Stand with the widows and the orphans. Pray for those who mourn and work for peace and accountability. International organizations have recently raised concerns about ongoing violence affecting Christian communities and other vulnerable groups in Nigeria.
To every Christian who is afraid today, remember the words of Romans 8:35:
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?"
The answer is no.
No bullet can kill the Gospel.
No fire can burn the Church of Christ.
No act of terror can destroy the hope that God has planted in His people.
We will continue to preach.
We will continue to pray.
We will continue to love.
We will continue to stand for truth.
And we believe that one day, according to Isaiah 2:4, nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
May God comfort every grieving family.
May God heal our wounded land.
May God grant wisdom to our leaders.
And may the Prince of Peace reign over Nigeria.
In Jesus' mighty name.
Amen.
Today is exactly one month since Borno & Oyo State schoolchildren were kidnapped! ONE WHOLE MONTH, & our children are not back!
They are eighty-one in number, including seven teachers. We lost a teacher in a beheading.
From public outcry to street protests. Then we move on. Please we shouldn’t forget them.
It’s the rainy season in Nigeria, they must be cold. There are mosquitoes, their immune system is not that strong. Then there is acute malnutrition otherwise called kwashiorkor.
There are waterborne diseases as well.
Diarrhea, malaria, acute malnutrition, etc. The children are dealing with all of these elements. Then there is the human factor — trauma in the form of constant trepidation. My paranoia is justified! They risk becoming child brides. Child marriage is not a thing to sweep under the rug.
Who is going to give them the closure they so desperately need? Closure is a psychological support to move on & achieve your life dreams.
I’m sure they have a bucket list, goals or things they want to achieve during their lifetime. I’m sure we have engineers, doctors, teachers, nurses, pilots, architects, etc among them.
This is their formative years. They shouldn’t miss out on a sheltered life; the promise of a better tomorrow. We shouldn’t forget them!
They stay in the bush so that politicians can soirée & party harder. Nigeria is the father that abandoned his children. Please remember them today & say a prayer for them. They remind us that Nigeria is a country of particular concern.
This is heartbreaking. This is solidarity. Children are praying for their friends to be rescued. A mother who is a teacher is crying for help. The significance of “May 15” is not lost on us.
They are our children dealing with adult problems. They shouldn’t become part of an ongoing statistics. I am only pleading.
At this point? Your silence will fail the children. PLEASE LEND YOUR VOICE TO THIS. 💔🙏
The irony is that prosperity often reveals whether a man truly loved GOD or merely needed HIM.
Israel cried out passionately in the wilderness, but once they entered abundance, many forgot the LORD. This is why GOD repeatedly warned Israel:
“Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God…” (Deuteronomy 8:11)
If moving to America reduced your prayer life, America did not become your god; comfort did. America simply exposed what your prayer life was built upon.
The highest form of prayer is not, “GOD, give me.”
The highest form of prayer is, “GOD, I want YOU.”
A man who has discovered GOD will still pray when every earthly need has been met, because prayer is not sustained by desperation alone; it is sustained by love.
It is unfortunate that many think otherwise.
Something remarkable just happened in Brazil 🇧🇷
5 stadiums across Brazil, with over 2 million people gathered, were to worship Jesus. To see the people of God come together and glorify God. To take action around the Great Commission..!
Jesus have your way…. be glorified!✝️
🚨BREAKING: Atheist Artemis II astronaut Reid Wiseman says he has CONVERTED to Christianity after his trip to moon:
"There is no other explanation for what I saw and experienced. When we landed back on earth, I saw the cross and just wept."
🚨BREAKING: Jesus Christ is coming soon. Accept Him today as your Lord and Personal Saviour.
Tomorrow may be too late!!!
God Bless and Be with you richly
