@koinoniaeni Happy Birthday to you sir. Thank you for all you do for the body of Christ. We love and Honor you sir. May the grace of God over your life be multiplied in Jesus name
CONCERNING THE CURRENT PLAGUE UPON OUR NATION
Blind Bartimaeus teaches us something powerful about prayer: desperation alone is not prayer. Many are desperate before GOD, but very few are specific before GOD.
Faith is not the intensity of your cry; faith is the clarity of your request.
Do not assume that what is obvious to men has automatically become a petition before GOD. Bartimaeus was visibly blind. Everyone around him knew his condition. Yet when JESUS stood before him, HE still asked:
“What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?”
Why would JESUS ask a blind man what he wanted?
Because in the economy of GOD, prayer is not built on assumptions. GOD desires that a man articulate his burden, define his expectation, and present his request before HIM.
Many believers spend hours in prayer, yet never arrive at a definite petition. They speak generally when GOD is waiting for specificity.
Bartimaeus did not say, “LORD, bless me.” He did not say, “LORD, do something in my life.” He said, “LORD, that I might receive my sight.”
There are answers reserved for men who know exactly what they are asking GOD to do.
Prayer is not the pouring out of emotions; it is the presentation of desires before GOD. Until your burden becomes a definite request, it may remain only a burden.
And this is where I believe many of us are concerning the current plague upon our nation.
We are praying. We are fasting. We are gathering. We are grieving. But are we being specific?
What exactly do we want JESUS to do?
Do we want HIM to expose the wicked?
Do we want HIM to frustrate the operations of terrorists, kidnappers, ritualists, and bloodthirsty men?
Do we want HIM to raise righteous leaders?
Do we want HIM to grant wisdom to those in authority?
Do we want HIM to preserve innocent lives?
Do we want HIM to bring genuine repentance to our land?
Do we want HIM to send labourers into the harvest fields of the troubled regions?
Do we want HIM to heal the wounds of families that have buried loved ones?
Do we want HIM to break the altars speaking against our nation?
Do we want HIM to awaken the Church from slumber and restore her prophetic voice?
The burden is real, but burdens must become petitions.
The grief is genuine, but grief must become intercession.
The tears are necessary, but tears must eventually find words.
When Bartimaeus met JESUS, he knew exactly what he wanted.
Perhaps the question GOD is asking the Church in this hour is the same question JESUS asked Bartimaeus:
“What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?”
And when JESUS asks us This concerning our nation,
May we have an answer.
Are organizations actually secure… or just compliant?
Recent breaches in Nigeria suggest we may be focusing on the wrong thing.
Cybersecurity is no longer a checkbox. It’s survival.

Most people trying to break into SOC are following outdated advice. Here is the actual SOC Analyst roadmap that works in 2026.
Phase 1: Build your foundation first
Networking basics, Linux command line, TCP/IP, OSI model. You cannot defend what you do not understand. This is non-negotiable.
Phase 2: Get one certification
CompTIA Security+ or ISC2 CC (free). Not five. One. Get it, then move.
Phase 3: Learn the tools SOC teams actually use
Splunk, Wireshark, Nmap, Elastic SIEM. Employers are not hiring people who know about these tools. They are hiring people who have used them.
Phase 4: Get hands-on every single day
TryHackMe SOC Level 1 path. HackTheBox. Build a home lab. Do CTFs. Your lab time is your work experience until you have real work experience.
Phase 5: Build in public and apply
Document everything on GitHub and LinkedIn. Cold outreach to SOC managers directly. Apply to internships. One SOC internship is worth more than ten certifications on your CV.
The average SOC Analyst earns $103,000. There are 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity roles globally. The opportunity is not the problem. The roadmap is.

She picked the right story for the delivery of a good message, which helped me connect it to real life!
Please watch and listen I promise it's not a waste of time.
spoke to a guy from Nigeria in my community recently
dude made $800 in 1 month with surveys
said his friends are going crazy watching him
he makes $50+ per study
his friends make $3/hour doing physical labor
same time investment completely different value
requirements:
speak english (doesn't have to be perfect)
have wifi and webcam
can follow instructions
show up on time
that's it
geography is not the barrier
knowing which platforms pay and how to get accepted is the barrier
i've made $75-100K doing this over 5 years
taught 300+ people the system
works in 30+ countries
RT + Comment "community" and i'll show you how
