🌙 MIDNIGHT CALL REFLECTION — 25 November 2025

“When a nation trembles, God still speaks in the night.”

Tonight, as the weight of Nigeria’s reality rests heavily upon our hearts, we come to the midnight hour with both gratitude and groaning. Gratitude — because 24 abducted daughters have been rescued. Groaning — because millions more sons and daughters are trapped in cycles of hunger, violence, and fear.

The headlines of today paint a nation in tension:
Record hunger. Escalating insurgent attacks. Students in danger. Communities in fear.
Yet even in this darkness, a flicker of hope remains — because God does not abandon nations in distress.

The Psalmist declares, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
Tonight, we cling to that promise.

Nigeria is crying. Farmers in the northeast are unable to harvest because terrorists patrol their farmlands. Mothers are skipping meals to feed their children. The World Food Programme warns that millions may soon face starvation. The land aches — but heaven still hears.

And yet, in the midst of this storm, 24 young schoolgirls walked back into the arms of their families. A miracle in a nation that has buried too many children. A sign that darkness cannot have the final say.

This midnight, we stand in the gap:

  • For the hungry — that God will send supernatural provision.
  • For the kidnapped still missing — that angels will lead them home.
  • For insurgent-ravaged communities — that peace will silence the guns.
  • For leaders — that the fear of God will replace political games.
  • For Nigeria — that mercy will triumph over judgment.

We also pray for the global community to awaken to compassion, for agencies to receive the funding needed to keep children alive, and for every secret agenda fueling insecurity to be exposed.

Tonight, we declare Psalm 125:3:
“The scepter of wickedness shall not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous.”

Nigeria shall not die in the hands of darkness.
Hunger will not swallow her.
Terror will not define her.
Corruption will not destroy her.
The cry of the innocent will rise to the throne of God — and heaven will answer.

As we cross this midnight, we speak peace over every state, strength over every family, and hope over every trembling heart.

May God arise.
May His enemies scatter.
May His mercy prevail.
And may the morning that comes after this midnight bring new light for Nigeria.

Amen.


📰 Top Stories — 25 November 2025

  1. Nigeria Faces Record Hunger Amid Insurgent Violence

    • The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) warns that up to 35 million Nigerians could face food insecurity by 2026 due to escalating militant attacks and severe cuts in international aid.
    • Northeastern farming communities in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe are particularly vulnerable, with about 6 million people currently lacking adequate food.
    • Without urgent funding, WFP says it will run out of resources for emergency nutrition programs by December 2025, putting hundreds of thousands of children at risk.

  2. All 24 Schoolgirls Kidnapped in Kebbi State Rescued

    • Nigerian authorities confirmed that all 24 girls abducted from a boarding school in Kebbi State on 17 November have now been released.
    • No group has claimed responsibility, and the government has not disclosed details of the rescue operation.
    • President Bola Tinubu expressed relief and reiterated the need for heightened security measures in vulnerable regions.

  3. Continued Pressure on Nigerian Government Over Kidnappings

    • The wave of recent mass abductions—including the major St. Mary’s School kidnapping—continues to draw harsh criticism.
    • Observers argue the scale of these kidnappings reveals systemic failures in Nigeria’s security apparatus, especially in its ability to protect students and rural communities.
    • The government is under growing international pressure to deliver real reforms, not just symbolic responses.

✅ Why This Matters:

  • The food crisis in Nigeria highlights how violence and instability are not just security issues but are now threatening basic survival for millions.
  • The rescue of the Kebbi schoolgirls is a rare moment of relief — but it doesn’t erase the fact that many others remain in danger.
  • Continued kidnappings are eroding confidence in government protection, risking further alienation of communities and international credibility.

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

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. ...
