🌙 Midnight Call Reflection

Theme: “When Champions Rise, Faith Must Lead”

Tonight, we celebrate excellence in sport – the triumphs, the nominations, the journey of athletes like Chiamaka Nnadozie rising to global recognition. Yet, behind every victory is a story of discipline, sacrifice, and endurance.
The Church’s mission parallels that journey: not just to compete, but to lead; not just to win trophies, but to win souls; not just to be applauded, but to be faithful.

When Nigeria’s teams step onto the field, they carry more than national pride—they carry the hopes of a continent. So too, every believer carries more than personal ambition—they carry the gospel of Christ.
Let the athlete’s training remind us: the race is long, the field is wide, and our calling is eternal.

“Run so as to obtain it.” — (1 Corinthians 9:24)
Let our lives reflect the training, discipline and intentionality of champions—so that when our moment comes, we not only perform, we proclaim.

🌟 Prayer:
Lord, as athletes rise and the world watches, make me more than a spectator. Equip me to train in love, serve in humility, and live in faith. Let every step in my race bring honour to Your name. Amen.


Here are today’s key news highlights for 6 November 2025:

🌍 Global & Economic

  • The World Health Organization (WHO) released a major report urging bold steps for equitable access to new tuberculosis vaccines, focusing on adolescents and adults in high-burden countries.
  • Global central banks appear to be nearing the end of their monetary easing cycles as major economies signal interest-rate adjustments ahead.
  • Flights at major U.S. airports were disrupted as airlines scrambled to reorganise schedules amid the ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown and air-traffic control staffing concerns.
  • The Organisation for Economic Co‑operation and Development (OECD) announced the launch of its Climate Action Monitor 2025, assessing global progress toward net-zero and outlining shortfalls in climate commitments.

🇳🇬 Nigeria & Africa

  • The Nigerian government rejected the designation by the U.S. as a country of particular concern for religious-freedom violations, calling the accusation based on “misinformation” and reaffirming its commitment to religious liberty.
  • Nigeria affirmed that all religious and ethnic groups are victims of terrorism and that security policy must protect everyone, highlighting the complexity of the violence rather than framing it solely in religious terms.
  • Heavy rainfall and flooding were reported along the Senegal and Niger rivers, affecting communities in Senegal and Mali and raising regional humanitarian concerns.

✝️ Religious & Humanitarian

  • Amid growing concerns about religious persecution globally, Nigerian faith leaders urged the international community to recognise the full spectrum of violence affecting Christians, Muslims and other faiths—not just one group.
  • The WHO’s vaccine access report (see above) also has strong humanitarian and faith-community implications, as health equity remains a moral and spiritual concern in many regions.

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. ...
