Daily devotion for July 25th
The Judgment to Come
Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus. As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, That's enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you. At the same time he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe, so he sent for him frequently and talked with him.

Acts 24:24-26
Paul told Felix about the judgment to come. There is coming a time when every life is going to be evaluated, when each human being will suddenly find himself standing naked before God, with all his life laid out for everyone to see. Then to all will be evident the value, or the lack of it, of that life. Jesus spoke of this. He said that there will come a time when that which is spoken in secret shall be shouted from the housetops, and that which is hidden shall be revealed. All the hidden secrets of the heart, and everything done in secret shall be openly displayed.

Undoubtedly Paul pointed out to Felix that God is aware of the hearts of men; he does not merely read the outside. We are so content if we can fool people by the exterior of our lives. But Paul laid before the governor the fact that he was dealing with a God who reads the heart. Wouldn't it be interesting if we had a television camera which could record thoughts. Suppose that today that camera was on you, and all the thoughts you have had running through your mind this last hour were recorded on videotape. What would you think if it was announced that next Sunday morning at church this would be played back on a screen?

That is exactly what God is talking about — a time when everyone will see the life of everyone else, exactly as it was, with nothing hidden, nothing covered over, all of it there. Then the great question will be: What did you do with Jesus Christ? When Paul reasoned this way before the governor, he was afraid. It all came home to him. The logic of it hit him right between the eyes. But this was his response: That's enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you. He procrastinated. He had a hunger for God, but he also wanted money from Paul.

Jesus said, Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all other things shall be added to you (Matthew 6:33 KJV). But you can't put them on the same level of priority. You can't want God and money. That is what destroys men. That is what blinded this man so that he could not see the importance of this moment. He had one of the most unusual opportunities ever afforded a human being: To spend hours with the Apostle Paul, but he passed it by. Go away, he said, until I have a more convenient time. Do you know anything sadder, more pathetic, than those words? And though he called Paul to him and talked with him often, he was never afraid again. That is the danger that men face when they are confronted with the reality of Jesus Christ and do nothing about it. Their hearts are hardened.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, that you have made provision for me to have your righteousness covering me at the day of judgment.

A faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Wednesday pleaded with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the last general election, Mr. Peter Obi, for the sake of equity, national integration, and peace, to drop his 2027 presidential ambition and support President Bola Tinubu’s bid for a second term.

In a statement in Abakaliki, the Deputy National President of Ohanaeze, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, told Obi that winning the presidency from the incumbent, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will prove exceedingly challenging, reminding him that only the southeast will not make him president.

He maintained that facts on the ground show that it will be very difficult for Obi to win, saying that the current political climate, marked by a lack of unity among opposition leaders and the inordinate ambition of Atiku Abubakar—who, at the age of 81, seeks the presidency—poses a significant risk.

He added that the appointment of some southeast people by Mr. President into key positions, like Senator Dave Umahi as the Minister of Works, entrusting him with the critical task of rehabilitating the dilapidated federal road infrastructure in the Southeast, will be another factor, adding that President Tinubu has significantly increased federal allocations to the Southeast.

Isiguzoro further noted that both Obi and Atiku will likely fracture the opposition vote, which will ultimately pave the way for President Tinubu’s reelection. He said that if this scenario were to unfold, the repercussions would undoubtedly fall heavily upon the Southeast. This was as he urged Obi to consider supporting Tinubu’s second bid.

The greatest enemy to Igbos are the Igbos themselves. Nigerians. The entire Nigeria recognizes the grace upon Mr. Peter Obi except the Igbos. It's unfortunate.

DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 24TH JULY, 2025 BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: UNSTOPPABLE BY WISDOM.

SCRIPTURE: And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. ACTS 7:9-10.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Divine strategy is the answer to satanic conspiracy.

The scripture reveals that wisdom is what makes people unstoppable. The secret of consistent progress despite confrontations or life’s challenges is the Wisdom of God.
In Genesis 37:41, we see that Joseph could not be stopped by the negative forces of life. He literarily battled from his childhood. His first battle was the battle against envy and conspiracy from his brothers. His second battle was the battle of false accusation from the wife of Potiphar. His third battle was the battle of disappointment from the butler whose dream he interpreted.

One man battled with conspiracy, accusation, envy, and disappointment. But despite these many battles, he could not be stopped from becoming everything that God wanted him to become. Joseph reached where God wanted him to reach.

Now, what was the secret of Joseph?
Acts 7:9-10 shows us two things that made Joseph who he was: And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.

Joseph had a twin-secret that made him – a dynamite and a detonator working together. Joseph had both the favour and the wisdom of God. These two worked together in the life of Joseph and made him unstoppable.
I would like you to take note of the following key points concerning the power of wisdom in the life of Joseph.

1. Where wisdom is at work especially the wisdom of God, obstacles don’t survive. Obstacles may arise but they cannot survive. No devil can block the path of a man in whose life the wisdom of God is at work.

2. Divine strategy is the answer to satanic conspiracy.
There is an answer to every satanic conspiracy; it is called divine strategy. There is a strategy from heaven that gives you the ability to handle conspiracies from hell.

3. In the battle of your destiny, your most important weapon is the wisdom of God. Where the wisdom of God is at work, adversaries have no place (Luke 21:15). The weapon of wisdom brought Joseph out of the prison and kept him out of the prison. He could not return to the prison but moved to the palace by the instrumentality of the wisdom of God.

Beloved, if you are a victim of satanic conspiracy, envy, jealousy, false accusation, disappointment, the wisdom that made Joseph unstoppable is released upon you right now. No devil can stop you from fulfilling your destiny in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: Divine strategy is the answer to satanic conspiracy.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Ask God for wisdom to triumph over the forces of resistance.

2. Apply the wisdom of God in all you do.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the wisdom to consistently triumph over my adversaries. I am unstoppable by the instrumentality of Your Wisdom, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

THE ARK LEGACY PROJECT- RECORDS AT STAKE

Daniel Breakforth

The Ark Legacy Project is set to be the largest indoor and roofed Church structure in history.

The Ark legacy project is coming up in its best form and shape.

The Ark is a spiritual surgical theatre for millions of lives and has kept many factories, construction companies, food and beverage companies, etc active for over 4 straight years.

The Ark (66,753 Sqm) will be 3 times the size of St Peters Basilica (22, 000 Sqm) Vatican City and over 2 times the size of Our Lady of Peace Basilica (30, 000 Sqm)

Presently....

1,500 to 2000 workers work on 24 hour shifts 7 days a week at the site.

It's main bowl will be larger (109,000) than all but one stadium in the world-The Rungrado Stadium, North Korea (114,000).

It has more toilets (1, 200) than all but one stadium-Wembley Stadium (1, 643)

It has bigger total capacity air conditioners than every indoor Church building in the world.

It can contain more people than any indoor Church building in the world when all spaces are packed (200,000)

It's overflow facility (Faith Tabernacle) was formerly the largest church auditorium in the world (50, 000 capacity)

It will have more lifts, escalators and elevators than any building in the world.

When size is juxtaposed with time, the Ark is possibly the fastest building ever built in Africa. Faith Tabernacle, also in Canaanland, Ota which is actually the fastest comes second when size is considered.

The Ark is being built without a single bank facility, loan or foreign aid.

Videos and pictures do not do justice to the sight of the Ark Project. If you love God and his Church and you visit the Ark, you will be awed, overwhelmed and filled with joy and gladness seeing the visible Hand of God at work.
However if you hate the Church and you visit the Ark, you will be filled with sorrow, anger, sadness, bile, grief, hunger, desire to become a factory worker etc. You will also lose your sense of reasoning and start demanding from the Church instead of your government for your sustenance.

#ChurchGist

I started sleeping with D0GS at the age of 16. My name is Amanda, and this is my story. A story I wish I never told anyone, but I can’t keep hiding. Everyone needs to learn from my story.

If anyone told me that I would be sleeeping with dogs, just to make money. At the age of 16 I would not believe that, but it happened to me, and this was how I found myself in this situation.

I was born into a very poor family in lagos. when I say poor I mean very poor, my parents were struggling to eat including me, I was the only daughter and child.

My father was a security, he was paid a small amount. And my mother stayed at home with me. I stopped going to school because they couldn’t continue to pay me school fees.

Hunger was our fourth person in the family, it dealt with us like an army. But sadly my father died.

He died right at his work post, he could not bear it anymore. My mom cried and cried. I cried even more.

After my father was buried, my mother was not the same anymore. She felt sick and died too.

I became an orphan, my uncle took our small property, claiming he was the rightful owner. And I was left in the street of Lagos. Sleeping under the bridge, inside the gutter, just to survive.

Life was dealing with me. I suffer, in fact I did all kind of quick jobs like breaking firewood and many more. it couldn’t help me. Sometimes I pray for late parents to come and take me.

But all this things changed one evening. I was selling my last orange, ready to got back to sleep under the bridge again.

A black car came and parked in my front. It was raining that evening. A lady came out of the car. Her name was Cynthia, I thought she was coming to buy orange.

“Why are you sitting alone under the rain. It late already” she says politely.

I told her I have no where to go, I told her that sleep under the bridge. Then she offered to take me to her place, but I rejected, because Lagos was a scary place, you can’t trust nobody.

“Do not be afraid, come with me, am not a bad person” Cynthia says to me.

Then I followed her, she gave me food at the house, she bought new clothes for me. For ones I felt like paradise.

I was enjoying the good things of life now. But after a week. Cynthia came with a total different topic.

She sat me down and told me. “I have been good to you, but you need to starting making money just like I do, can you work ?” Cynthia says.

“Yes, i answered, “I can do anything for you”

Then Cynthia told me about the job. “They are going to pay you plenty money. You will become rich. They are my clients. They don’t like women, but they need the woman to play with their pet” Cynthia says.

“I didn’t understand at first. “Play with their pets? I asked.

“Yes play with their dogs, like satisfy their D0gs” Cynthia says clearly.

Immediately I dropped the juice I was drinking, pouring on the ground. Immediately I felt like I was sitting with the devil.

“Never ! Never Cynthia ! So this is how you make your money. I would never Sle-p with dogs just to make money” I scream at her.

*THEME: ANOINT AND PRAY OVER YOUR CHILDREN*

*MEMORISE:*
*"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.” - (Joel 2:28)*

*READ: 1 Samuel 16:12-13 (KJV)*

12. So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!”

13. Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

*MESSAGE:*

Parents cannot raise their children all by themselves. This is because many other factors are involved in a child's destiny that parents cannot control. Some of these factors include the environment where their children are growing up, the people they interact with, their genetic makeup, and even spiritual forces that surround their entire family and the children in particular. This is why, beyond all the things that parents do physically to raise their children, they must also pray for them regularly and seek God's help to raise them correctly. Parents must also anoint and pray over their children regularly to protect them from evil forces.

In the short time that I have spent on the earth, I have seen the enemy work all manners of evil in the lives of children. Many times, some parents heap blames on their children for lacking focus, being unserious, or being lazy when they do not succeed, especially in their academics. They get frustrated that they are spending so much money on them without good results. They may not know that there might be forces of darkness that are hindering the child's progress. It is possible for a student to study very hard and just blank out in the examination hall. There was a case at the University of Lagos some years ago where, right in the examination hall, a young man just began to urinate non-stop. There was some pandemonium, and those around him began to call an ambulance. However, he told them that this was not the case for the doctor and that they should call his pastor instead. His pastor prayed for him, and he was healed.

The anointing sets a child apart for greatness. Although David was destined to be the king of Israel, that destiny did not find expression until he was anointed. After he was anointed, the Bible says that the Spirit of the Lord came upon him from that day forward (1 Samuel 16:13). In the very next chapter, he killed the Philistine giant, Goliath, and became a national figure (1 Samuel 17:48-51). If you are a parent, speak God's counsel over your children and anoint them regularly. Let them know that they belong to God and that anyone who touches them touches the apple of God's eye (Zechariah 2:8). I pray that God will protect every child from the attacks of the enemy, in Jesus' name.

*KEY POINT:*
Anointing and praying over children regularly protects them from the devil's plans and sets them apart for greatness.

*BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:*
Isaiah 35-37

*AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE*

*HYMN 16 - 'TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS*

1. 'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord."

*CHORUS:*
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!

2. O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing cleansing flood!

3. Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

4. I'm so glad I learn'd to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Saviour, Friend,
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.

While Samsung maintains some manufacturing in South Korea, particularly for high-tech components and its local market, the vast majority of its smartphone production is now outsourced to other countries like Vietnam and India.

Korean-made Samsung devices, particularly those for the domestic market, may differ in specifications like processor, camera, and RAM compared to international versions.

Your rice is not the devil. But the way you use it to escape life? That’s spiritual warfare. Read this and unlearn.”
Rice isn’t your enemy.
But the way you abuse it should be studied in a lab.
You act like rice is some ancient demon.
Meanwhile, you’re the one eating a mountain of it.
With no protein.
No vegetables.
No portion control.
It’s not rice that’s messing with your blood sugar.
It’s the fact that your rice never walks alone.
Always fried.
Always late at night.
Always with stew that can fuel a generator.
You’ve turned rice into your therapist.
Your sleeping pill.
Your heartbreak balm.
You don’t eat rice to live.
You eat it to feel something.
And then you wonder why your belly is hard, your face is dull, and your energy crashes by noon.
Your ancestors ate rice too.
But they didn’t sit on it like a throne.
They ate it with fish.
With greens.
With balance.
Then they moved.
You?
You microwave leftovers 4 times.
Eat on your bed.
And go to sleep with a full stomach and a restless brain.
Stop blaming rice.
Blame the chaos you pair it with.
Rice isn’t bad.
But your relationship with it is toxic.
Eat rice.
But eat it with wisdom.
Or keep eating your way into blood sugar dysfunction.
Then blame “witches” for your swollen feet and fatigue.
Don’t blame rice. Blame the chaos you serve it with.

Its so challenging for children to succeed without parents. It's that point that children need to become steadfast onto God because the Figure head of God over them is taken out. The challenges will be tough especially with their peer groups due to the fact that all are not giving equal opportunities in life to start with. Therefore, orphans are put to a natural disadvantage that requires an extra zeal to thrive against all odds.
