A poll by "Israel's" Channel 12 aired on Friday revealed that a majority of Israelis do not trust Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, with widespread disapproval of its policies on captives and the recently passed budget.

When asked if they trust the current government, 70% of respondents said they do not, while 27% said they do. Even among coalition voters, only 51% expressed trust in the government, compared to 36% who said they did not.

Regarding a potential deal to secure the return of all captives in exchange for ending the war, 69% of respondents said they supported it, 21% opposed it, and 10% were unsure.

*QUDS DAY COMMEMORATION 28TH RAMADAN 1446/28TH MARCH 2025*

Quds Day, observed annually on the last Friday of Ramadan, is a global event dedicated to expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposing Israeli occupation. Established in 1979 by *Iran’s late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini,* the day serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice in Palestine and the broader fight against oppression. Across the world, millions participate in peaceful marches, rallies, and discussions advocating for Palestinian liberation.
In Nigeria, *Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria* (IMN), has been at the forefront of Quds Day commemorations. Under his leadership, the IMN has organized large-scale processions, raising awareness about the Palestinian cause and denouncing global injustices. Despite facing violent crackdowns from security forces—most notably in 2014 and 2018 - Zakzaky and his followers remain unwavering in their activism. His persistent advocacy for Palestine has drawn both national and international attention, reinforcing Nigeria’s role in the global Quds Day movement.
*Quds Day continues to symbolize resistance against oppression,* and through the efforts of figures like Sheikh Zakzaky, its message remains alive, inspiring many to stand in solidarity with the oppressed.

*FRIDAY, 21 MARCH*
*TEXT: EZRA 10:1-17*
*TOPIC: A GENUINE CONFESSION*

*EZRA 10:1-17 NIV*

1:While Ezra was praying and confessing, weeping and throwing himself down before the house of God, a large crowd of Israelites—men, women and children—gathered around him. They too wept bitterly.

2:Then Shekaniah son of Jehiel, one of the descendants of Elam, said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God by marrying foreign women from the peoples around us. But in spite of this, there is still hope for Israel.

3:Now let us make a covenant before our God to send away all these women and their children, in accordance with the counsel of my lord and of those who fear the commands of our God. Let it be done according to the Law.

4:Rise up; this matter is in your hands. We will support you, so take courage and do it.”

5:So Ezra rose up and put the leading priests and Levites and all Israel under oath to do what had been suggested. And they took the oath.

6:Then Ezra withdrew from before the house of God and went to the room of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. While he was there, he ate no food and drank no water, because he continued to mourn over the unfaithfulness of the exiles.

7:A proclamation was then issued throughout Judah and Jerusalem for all the exiles to assemble in Jerusalem.

8:Anyone who failed to appear within three days would forfeit all his property, in accordance with the decision of the officials and elders, and would himself be expelled from the assembly of the exiles.

9:Within the three days, all the men of Judah and Benjamin had gathered in Jerusalem. And on the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people were sitting in the square before the house of God, greatly distressed by the occasion and because of the rain.

10:Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You have been unfaithful; you have married foreign women, adding to Israel’s guilt.

11:Now honor the Lord, the God of your ancestors, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from your foreign wives.”

12:The whole assembly responded with a loud voice: “You are right! We must do as you say.

13:But there are many people here and it is the rainy season; so we cannot stand outside. Besides, this matter cannot be taken care of in a day or two, because we have sinned greatly in this thing.

14:Let our officials act for the whole assembly. Then let everyone in our towns who has married a foreign woman come at a set time, along with the elders and judges of each town, until the fierce anger of our God in this matter is turned away from us.”

15:Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahzeiah son of Tikvah, supported by Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite, opposed this.

16:So the exiles did as was proposed. Ezra the priest selected men who were family heads, one from each family division, and all of them designated by name. On the first day of the tenth month they sat down to investigate the cases,

17:and by the first day of the first month they finished dealing with all the men who had married foreign women.

*A GENUINE CONFESSION*

Due to over familiarity in our journey of faith, many believers no longer feel remorse over personal guilt and offences.

We see Ezra praying, confessing, weeping and throwing himself down before God's presence. This sincere confession led the Israelites to do the same.

There was a covenant to send away all foreign women and their children which they followed and it worked for them (vs. 16-17).

God is always willing to address a church's or community's atrocities if only they are willing to take the right steps towards making amends.

*QUESTION:* How sincere are you in turning away from your past?

*PRAYER:* Dear Lord, forgive us for always adding to our unfaithfulness. Help us to be bold in turning back from that sin, in Jesus' name. Amen.

*Food for the Day - 2025*

*HOSPITAL..A PLACE WHERE HUMAN BEINGS REMOVE THEIR MASKS AND SHOW THEMSELVES IN THEIR PUREST ESSENCE*

According to Pope Francis…The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...

In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...

It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.

The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.

A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.

This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.

Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.

You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...

Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.

So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.

Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.

Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.
May God help us, Amen.

‘Fubara is 2-0 Down, More to Come’ – Wike Declares In Rivers State

Former Rivers State Governor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said Governor Siminalayi Fubara will suffer more setbacks amid the ongoing political crisis in the state.

Wike made the statement in Abalama, Asari-Toru Local Government Area, during a Thanksgiving Service and Civic Reception held in his honour. His visit took place despite resistance from the community’s monarch and residents, who opposed the event due to rising political tensions in the state.

Earlier in the day, protests erupted in the area as demonstrators blocked roads and carried placards rejecting Wike’s presence. Videos shared on social media showed residents, including women and youths, voicing their opposition and demanding that the former governor stay away.

The protesters pointed to Wike’s past remark that the Kalabari people are a minority in the state as one of the reasons for their resentment.

The Amayanabo of Abalama, King Dr. A. B. Big Tom Tom JP, had officially distanced the community from the event. In a letter dated March 12, 2025, addressed to the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, he expressed shock at learning about the program through social media and cited security concerns as the reason for rejecting it.

Amid the ongoing political crisis, the Supreme Court recently halted federal allocations to Rivers State until Governor Fubara presents the 2025 budget to the state House of Assembly, which is led by Wike’s ally, Martins Amaewhule.

The Assembly, which Fubara has struggled to gain control over, adjourned plenary indefinitely last Friday, preventing him from presenting the budget.

Addressing the situation, Wike mocked Fubara’s leadership and blamed his advisers for his political troubles.

“You (Fubara) surrounded yourself with people who wanted to be governor, whom I said ‘no, these people don’t mean well for Rivers State.’ They are the ones surrounding you, giving you advice. Do you think you will succeed? They will give bad advice, and look at what bad advice is doing to you. You are already down 2-0, and there’s more to come,” Wike said.
