🌙 Midnight Call Reflection

Theme: “When Mammon and Power Collide”

Text: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” — Mark 8:36

Tonight, the world trembles under the weight of shifting powers and restless nations. Nigeria replaces its top military chiefs amid whispers of rebellion; economies rise and fall with the stroke of policy; faith leaders cry out for justice as the blood of the innocent stains the land.

Yet beneath it all lies the same ancient struggle — the worship of Mammon disguised as progress, and the hunger for power disguised as patriotism. The Spirit warns that the nations are being weighed in the balance. When wealth replaces worship and control replaces compassion, the heart of man grows cold, and truth becomes a casualty.

The Lord calls His Church to watch and pray, not to be entangled in the love of money or the politics of fear. This is the hour to return to the altar — to seek not the security of governments or economies, but the unshakable Kingdom of God.

Prophetic Insight:
Before the dawn of Christ’s return, the world will witness a merging of economic and spiritual systems — a final test of allegiance. Those who serve Mammon will grow bolder; those who serve Christ must grow brighter.

Call to Action:
Guard your heart. Refuse compromise. Be among those “who have not bowed to Baal.”
For though kingdoms shake and gold loses its shine, the Word of the Lord stands forever.

Here are some of today’s verified news highlights for 24 October 2025:

  • Bola Tinubu initiates major military shake-up in Nigeria: The Nigerian President replaced the country’s service chiefs in a sweeping overhaul of the armed forces leadership aimed at strengthening national security.
  • Nigeria and South Africa exit the global “grey list”: Both countries were removed from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)’s watch list for monetary crime risks. The delisting is viewed as a boost to financial markets and cross-border trade sentiment.
  • UK forms “coalition of the willing” on Russia oil & gas: At a high-level London meeting, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pledged to reduce Russia’s oil and gas presence in global markets and accelerate use of frozen Russian assets for reparations.
  • Africa faces “ageing leadership, youthful populations” paradox: Many African states are governed by older Presidents despite having some of the youngest populations in the world—raising questions about generational change and governance.


🇳🇬 Nigeria & Africa

  • Nigeria replaces three top service chiefs in a major military leadership shake-up, shortly after rumours of coup plotting and amid rising insecurity.
  • Nigeria and South Africa were removed from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, improving their status in global finance and trade.
  • Nigerian faith leaders called for the establishment of a National Council on Freedom of Religion in response to increasing faith-based violence across the country.

✝️ Religious & Church

  • At an international session, the author of the 2025 Religious Freedom Report defended Cardinal Pietro Parolin’s comments that violence in Nigeria is a “social conflict” rather than purely religious — sparking debate among Nigerian activists and church leaders.
  • A Nigerian bishop addressed the British Parliament, declaring that anti-Christian violence in Nigeria may be reaching “genocidal” levels and urging the global community not to overlook the religious dimension of the conflict.

⚽ Sports

  • While a major African sports update today was not captured fully in this source set, preparations continue for regional competitions such as the CSA T20 Knock-Out in South Africa and other sporting events across the continent.

Manifestation of the Kingdom Within

  Manifestation of the Kingdom Within Scripture: “ Nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” — Luke 17:21 Devotional The kingdom of God is more than external miracles, spectacular signs, or impressive events—it is a spiritual reality that dwells within the believer . When Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you,” He was emphasizing that kingdom life is demonstrated through the transformation of our hearts, thoughts, and daily actions. The true evidence of the kingdom is righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). It manifests when we choose obedience over sin, forgiveness over bitterness, and love over pride. It is displayed in our attitudes, relationships, and every decision we make. Unlike external circumstances, the kingdom within is constant, resilient, and supernatural—it cannot be shaken by trials or opposition. Living with the kingdom within means walking in God’s authority, living in alignment with ...

Love is the Way

Love is the Way  Jesus said to him, ""You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." Matt.22.37-40 Love is the summary of the Law and the entire scripture.  Where love abounds, laws and constitutions are useless.  Love is the fulfillment of the law.   - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! Gal.5.14-15 Love is a command. It is the Law and the commandment of God. It is not an option but a necessity.  No one can be part of God without love, because God Himself is Love.   - This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. These things I command you, that you love o...

He is Risen

Date: Easter Sunday – April 20, 2025 <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8669748632238163"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script> Title: He Is Risen! Scripture: “ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.” – Matthew 28:6 Devotional Thought: Easter morning dawned with the impossible made real: Jesus rose from the dead. The sealed tomb was broken open—not to let Jesus out, but to let the world in to witness victory. The silence of Saturday was shattered by resurrection power. Death lost its sting. The grave lost its hold. And hope came rushing back into the hearts of all who believed. The resurrection is not just an event—it’s a reality we live in . Because He lives, we have hope in suffering, strength in weakness, and assurance in uncertainty. It’s the foundation of our faith, the fuel for our mission, and the final word over sin and death. ...
