Millions of Nigerians are now conscious of the disturbing realities of the times-dehumanization, manipulations, deceit, exploitation, deceit and man's inhumanity to his fellow man.

What can they do to liberate themselves? They are helpless.

In this message, Prophet Timothy Arabambi of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) (Reformation Land) Ile-Atunshe, Ibadan, Nigeria, opines that the year 2026 is a year of good tidings.

Excerpts:

The year 2026 is going to be a prosperous year with condition. God said that fi my people who have called my name, repent and see My face, I will heal the land.

And mind you, God does not deal with us collectively, He deals with us individually.

Believe this, there is no government that has ever reigned that has never experienced tribulation, challenges and pestilence.

Also, there is no government that has ever reigned, and the door of the correctional center was closed.

So, I am saying let us move closer to God because He is everything.

Minus God from anything is equal to nothing and plus God is equal to everything.

In Deutronomy 28:1-14, ''These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

2(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)

3And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;

4After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:

5On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,

6The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:

7Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

8Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.

9And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

10The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.

11(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

12How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?

13Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

14And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.''

In conclusion, Nigerians should make their motto, 'Work and Pray', for the year 2026 to be well with all of us. Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year in advance.

We are confronted with different forms of temptations in our daily choices.

These tests seek to assess our beliefs and confidence in God.

Every temptation sis an opportunity to trust and obey God with all our hearts. 

Read Genesis 3:1-19 

The Unanswered Question

Nothing has changed.

The citizens are disillusioned, disappointed and distraught.

Indeed, the labor movements are in a deep slumber, occasioned by the pittance in the guise of national minimum wage and the yet to be fully paid wage award.

The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) initiative is yet to impact positively of millions of Nigerians.

The price of the cooking gas has gone beyond the reach of very poor Nigerians, yet those-in-charge still carry on as if all is well.

All is not well, the lives of Nigerians continue to deteriorate on a daily basis, even as coercion, intimidation, manipulation, blackmail and harassment are now the most effective indicators of governance at all levels of government-the central, state and local governments.

Comrade Andrew Emelieze is just one among an unspecified number of innocent Nigerians that have become victims of the desperate actions of those who hold transient political power.

The consensus is that dictatorial practices have become the preferences of those elected by the people.

Is this dispensation democratic?

Millions of Nigerians continue to ask.

The security situation in the Federal Republic of Nigeria has become a source oof sleepless nights for millions of Nigerians. In this message, Prophet Timothy Arabambi of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) (Reformation Land) Ile-Atunshe, Ibadan, Nigeria, advises Nigerians to pray to God to heal the nation. 

Excerpts:

What is your message to Nigerians, as the present situation assumes a frightening dimension?

I have a firm belief in the efficacy of prayers. I believe Jesus Christ is going to take control of the security and economic situation.

The two are very worrisome.

But do not forget that it is not only Nigeria that is experiencing security challenges, almost every country in the world has one challenge or the other because it is one of the end time signs.

In the Bible, Jesus Christ said that we will hear of rumors of war and you cannot even talk of.

If we do away from sin and we call on our Lord, Jesus Christ, He will heal the land.

It is written in the Bible that we have suffered a lot because we did not put everything into prayers. Let us pray ceaselessly.

The Vital Weapon

In the face of faulty policies and the reversal of actions considered to be outside leadership principles,

those-in-charge now rely on deceit as the most vital weapon of governance.

This is not only regrettable, but unfortunate, considering the millions of Nigerians that have been negatively affected by absolute lies, half-truths and cover-ups in these perilous times.

Interestingly, public office holders are adamant, they have continued to insist that the situation is not helpless contrary to happenings on a daily basis.

Without doubt the multifarious challenges could be traced to the fault infested occupiers of the public offices at all levels.

Indeed, the leadership at all levels ought to go to the streets for a firsthand assessment of their acts of omission and commission.

If there is any humanity in them. Perhaps.

We ought not to yield our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, but we must learn how to be fully submissive to His will.

Let us yield ourselves to the will and power of the Holy Spirit and allow Him to accomplish His purpose through us.

Read Galatians 5:16-26

A Disturbing Trend

The proponents of state police argue that it would ensure that the states maintain law and order, while at the same time making possible justice and equity.

However, the proponents are silent over the poor handling of various security related issues in several states of the federation, while looking the other way when it comes to the activities of self-determination groups.

Of worry, is the heavy presence of strangers in most communities of the federation, these set of people do not have visible means of livelihood. Those in charge are aware of the unimpeded reign of crime, criminality and impunity in communities such as Molusi, Solanke, Olorunsogo, Molete, Oshodi, Scout camp, Aluko/Barracks in Felele, Ibadan, Oyo state among others.

The strangers in collaboration with natives have over the years, relentlessly plotted to dispossess an unspecified number of residents of their landed property.

Interestingly, Nigerians are free to reside in any part of the country, without harassment, threats intimidation and attacks.

But this is not the situation in the affected Ibadan communities.

 Indeed, scheming and evil machinations of political office holders, who have the people's mandate has brought about the inability to secure lives and property to put an end to violent crimes across the six geo-political zones of the country.

Sadly, some state Governors have continuously manipulated the centralized policing system to their advantage.

Intimidation and harassment of political opponents and citizens who hold contrary views are commonplace in most states.

With reference to the above mentioned and happenings across the country, it is very dangerous to establish state police during this period of insecurity, economic hardships and agitations by groups for self-determination. 

The clamor for state police revolves, perhaps, on self-interests and sectional aspirations, going by events in a number of states. Curiously, despite the presence of the office of the state security network at the Scout Camp Neighborhood market, criminals have continued to operate without hindrance.

 Of worry, is the docility of political office holders and the people's representatives at all levels in the face of rising crime and criminality everywhere.

Indeed, most of these crimes are committed with the aid of motorcycles distributed by politically exposed persons as empowerment for young people.

A very disturbing trend is the inability of secondary school students to read and write, despite their appearance in school uniforms from Monday to Friday.

Their academic performance has exposed the government's feeble efforts in the education sector.

The vicissitudes of life bring in its stride sad times, stiff challenges and major disappointments.

We stand a better chance of overcoming and surmounting these difficult situations, if we have a reliable friend close by.

As God guides you, be that friend.

That is exactly what Jesus Christ for us in our time of deepest spiritual need.

Read Galatians 6:1-18

Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra of Thailand

The Prime Minister of Thailand between 2001 and 2006, Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra of Thailand mismanaged and frittered away the country's resources running into billions.

The country's Assets Examination Committee indicted him for corruption and other illegal acts, including becoming extraordinarily wealthy after five (5) years in governance.

Shinawatra went on exile to Britain, when corruption charges were about to be filed against him.

While, sojourning in Britain, he bought the Manchester City Football Club for $168 million. 

 NOTE: Certain Nigerian leaders who lack respect for elders and have persistently exhibited this bad attitude; are bad examples for young people.

Leadership without the acceptable character is a ruse.

All ability for service comes only from God.

Let us ask God for mercy, grace and wisdom because we need HIS mercy, grace and wisdom in all we do.

To overlook HIS mercy, grace and wisdom is to fail to live up to our spiritual potential.

Take time aside, each day, to read HIS word and pray.

A drop of God's wisdom is greater than an ocean of human intelligence.

Read Matthew 7:7-11

 The Score Card of Those-in-Charge

Most communities in Oyo state among other states in Nigeria have been overwhelmed by criminals, a significant number of whom are residents.
These criminals take time to observe happenings in these communities from shops, beer parlors, hotels, and abandoned buildings in these communities after which they facilitate heinous and grievous crimes.
In Molusi, Solanke, Oeygbami, Oshodi, Olorunsogo, Barracks, Aluko, Felele, and several other communities in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, electricians, petty traders, barbers, commercial motorcycle operators, and mechanics and beer parlor operators secure accommodation for questionable characters, who now terrorize these communities.

Sadly, the Landlords and Tenants Associations in these communities know these criminals but overlook their criminal activities, perhaps because of the pecuniary benefits accruing to them. Although they ensure they facilitate the collection of night guards' dues from residents with all vigor.
The outcome is the several unreported cases of crimes in these communities, while innocent residents continue to ponder over the constitutional roles of law enforcement agencies which seems to be non-existent

 In a society where justice and the rule of law prevails, the community leaders, members of the Landlords and Tenants Association, law enforcement agents(agencies), and residents of Olorunsogo, Molete, Molusi, Solanke, Oyegbami, Scout Camp,Aluko/Barracksand Felele communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria who sponsored hoodlums wielding stones, matchets, and iron rods to attack and injure a resident of 3, Kehinde Aderibigbe Street, Olorunsogo, Molete ought to be brought to justice.

Sadly, this is not the case.

In addition, those behind the vandalization and looting of 3, Kehinde Aderibigbe Street, Olorunsogo, Molete are still walking the streets freely full of boasts and acting persistently with impunity. Why is this so? Perhaps, crime and criminality are now means to several ends for Those-in-Charge, who may have severed ties with the attributes of accountable and focused leadership.

The lawlessness, indiscipline, criminality, profanity and immorality in the Nigerian society today, is the real scorecard of parents, guardians and political office holders at the center and in the states of the federation.

The state of primary and secondary school education across the states in Nigeria already in intensive care mode.

Sadly, the private schools which ought to provide soothing balm for distraught parents and guardians, have worsened the rot.

The convincing recruitment of teachers alone, cannot guarantee quality education, when requisite qualifications, state of mind, experience and skills are lacking.

Indeed, learning is impossible in an environment characterized by dilapidated structures and absence of education resources.

However, for the director, Career Development Center, University of Ibadan, Prof. Bayo Oluwole, the lack of professional development for teachers, inadequate infrastructure and overcrowded schools in Oyo state are clogs in the wheels of quality education.

 Indeed, a visit to a number of schools in the state validates this argument. Really, trade unions have limitations and those in charge take advantage of these.

Of worry is the focus of the leadership on road and airport projects in the face of the glaring long departure of discipline, law and order in schools.

Interestingly, the chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), Comtrade Ismail Raji believes that the employment of over 20,000 teachers in the state by the government has salvaged the disturbing situation in the education sector.

This may be far from the truth, considering the fact that teachers now embrace electronic and social media to expose the rot in the system.

Expectedly, Comrade Raji advises those involved to channel their grievances through their leaders, describing their actions as embarrassing.

The NUT chairman summarizes the present situation of things this way:' while we celebrate our achievements, we must not lose sight of the challenges that persist such as inadequate funding of education (though it is a global phenomenon) infrastructural deficits, and the need for continuous capacity development for teachers. A nation that neglects its teachers has signed its its underdevelopment, but a nation that honors its teachers secures its future.''
