🌙 Midnight Call Reflection — November 2, 2025

Theme: The Church and the Nations: When Faith Meets Power

📖 Scripture: “For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations.” — Psalm 22:28 (KJV)

As global tensions rise and religious narratives shape international politics, believers are reminded that God remains the ultimate Governor of all nations. The recent diplomatic friction between the U.S. and Nigeria over alleged Christian persecution exposes not only political interests but also the spiritual battle for truth and righteousness in our generation.

In every age, the Church stands at the crossroads of power and prophecy. While some seek to weaponize religion for influence, others must guard the faith with humility, prayer, and discernment. The challenge before believers is not to fear global agendas but to remember who truly reigns above all.

This is a time for the Church to awaken — to pray for national leaders, to speak truth without compromise, and to stand as light in darkening times. The Lord is calling the watchmen to rise again, not in panic, but in prophetic intercession for the peace of the nations.

For the kingdom, the power, and the glory still belong to God — not to any nation or empire.

🙏🏽 Prayer Focus

  • Pray for peace and wisdom among world leaders.
  • Ask God to strengthen the Church in Nigeria and across the world to stand firm in truth.
  • Intercede for revival — that power struggles will give way to spiritual awakening.

💡 Reflection Thought:

When nations wrestle for power, the Church must kneel in prayer.

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. ...
