Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, on Sunday, led some  clerics to pray for God to grant Nigeria victory over sponsors and perpetrators of violence in the country.

The prayers were offered during the dedication of two Churches in Abuja.

The Churches were the All Saints Anglican Church Wuse Zone 5, and the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) City of David Parish, Utako, Abuja.

Osinbajo used the occasion to  pray for an end to the spate of violent attacks in parts of the country.

According to Osinbajo, as the Federal Government continues to work hard at finding solutions to the challenges confronting the nation, clergymen and congregants should also pray fervently for the nation to overcome these challenges.

The vice presidents first visited the Archbishop Metropolitan and Primate of all Nigeria Anglican Communion, Most Revd. Henry Ndukuba.

Ndaukuba, assisted by Bishop of Kubwa Diocese, Bishop Duke Akamisoko, led the prayers for the security, peace and prosperity of Nigeria.

Archbishop Ndukuba prayed God to give the President and the Vice President and other officials of the present administration wisdom to lead the country.

He prayed that God will grant “ all who serve in the Federal Government the wisdom from above.

“When they speak, grant them utterance that comes from the Holy Spirit, fill their hearts with wisdom, and give them kindness of mind.

“And being filled and led by you, oh Holy Spirit, they will fulfill their purpose. And in this government, Lord, may your name be glorified.”

Also Bishop Akamisoko of Kubwa diocese prayed  for unity of the nation.

“For our country, to the East, West, North, and South, let your blessings reign on this country, let your glory reign.”

The Bishop prayed God to grant wisdom, good health, sound mind  to Osinbajo and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, to be able to administer the country successfully.

There were also prayers during the dedication of the new Church building of RCCG City of David Parish, Utako.

Osinbajo urged members of the church to see the occasion as a call to the greater work of transforming the entire society.

“The dedication of the physical building called the church must only remind us that the real work of building the church is that of bringing up men and women in the knowledge and nurture of the Lord.

“The forces of evil and of hate are more vehement than ever. The battle between light and darkness is more intense than ever, but we will prevail,” he added.

He urged members of the parish to also focus on bringing up great leaders that will carry on the legacies of the church.

He commended the Pastor, Gbolade Okenla for his dedication and hard work.

The vice president also praised the members of the congregation for the sacrifices that birthed the new building, assuring them of the blessings that will follow their contributions.

He referred to the example of David in the Bible, and said “David  thought about building a church and the Lord blessed his generations forever.

“You have also built a church. So, the wonders and miracles of God will attend to you and your families forever more in the name of the Lord Jesus.”

Prayers were led by Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, Assistant General Overseer and Regional Pastor, RCCG City of David Parish, Apapa, Lagos.

While thanking God for his blessings that has culminated in the dedication of a new church building, the pastor urged Christians to remain steadfast with God, especially in times of difficulty.

He prayed for leaders of the country, including the President and his vice, and assured that sponsors of trouble in parts of the country will soon be arrested.

Foluke Adeboye Shares Story of Sacrifice After Giving Life to Christ

Foluke Adeboye, wife of Enoch Adeboye, has opened up about a profound act of personal sacrifice she made after becoming a born-again Christian, revealing that she once disposed of her valuable gold jewelry as part of her commitment to her faith.

Speaking during a recent interview, the respected minister recounted how her lifestyle changed dramatically when she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). At the time, certain forms of adornment, including earrings, were discouraged within the church.

Reflecting on that season, she explained that her love for fashion gave way to a deeper desire to live in alignment with her newfound beliefs.

“Every woman loves fashion. The moment we were born again then in RCCG, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she said.

According to her, the decision was not made lightly, as some of the jewelry had been set aside for her child. However, she remained resolute in her conviction, choosing spiritual obedience over material value.

She also recalled how a family acquaintance questioned her actions, suggesting she could have given the items to her mother to sell instead. In response, she emphasized her firm belief that anything she considered spiritually unsuitable for herself should not be passed on to others.

“Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother,” she stated.

Despite the magnitude of the sacrifice, Mrs. Adeboye expressed peace and contentment with her decision, adding that she harbors no regrets.

“I don’t miss anything, not much,” she affirmed.

Her testimony serves as a reflection of the transformative impact of faith and the personal sacrifices many believers make in their walk with Christ.

In a powerful expression of Christian compassion and unity, believers in Jos have reached across religious lines to share food with their Muslim neighbors during the holy month of Ramadan.

Christian residents across Jos North Local Government Area and Jos South Local Government Area have been preparing and distributing meals to Muslim faithful in communities and mosques, helping them break their fast. This act of kindness, sustained since the beginning of Ramadan, reflects a growing commitment among believers to live out the love of Christ in practical ways.

One of the coordinators, Alexander Pious, emphasized the importance of humanity above all differences. He shared that before identifying as Christians or Muslims, we are first human beings created by God, and that love should be extended to all without discrimination. According to him, such acts are necessary for the betterment of society and a true reflection of godly love.

Another supporter, Kehinde Ronke, said she was inspired by the initiative and felt compelled to join in blessing others regardless of their background. She noted that kindness sown today can return as help in times of need, encouraging others to embrace generosity as a way of life.

Members of the Muslim community have warmly received the gesture, expressing gratitude for the genuine love shown to them. Jafaru Ango described the initiative as impactful, especially for the less privileged, while Musa Ibrahim highlighted that such acts prove that true believers are not the source of division, but rather instruments of peace.

Despite the history of ethno-religious tensions in Plateau State, this initiative stands as a testament to the healing power of love and unity. Both givers and recipients believe that such efforts can bridge divides, promote peace, and strengthen mutual respect among diverse communities.

As Scripture reminds us, “Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth” (1 John 3:18). The Christians in Jos are living out this truth, shining as lights in their communities and demonstrating the heart of Christ through selfless giving.

Becky Enenche Empowers Widows, Youths, and Orphanages

The wife of the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Becky Enenche, has extended her humanitarian outreach to several orphanages, widows, and youths across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, as part of activities marking her 55th birthday celebration.

Speaking during the event on Sunday, Enenche said the empowerment initiative was an expression of her passion for evangelism and community development, particularly in reaching out to less privileged children along the Airport Road corridor.

“We started evangelism about three years ago. In the process, we found many children who were not in school. So, we began enrolling them and paying their school fees. Now, there are about 20 Bible clubs across the route, and the number of children on scholarship keeps growing each term,” she told journalists.

According to her, the scholarships awarded under her personal outreach are distinct from those sponsored by her husband, Dr. Paul Enenche, or the church itself.

“At the beginning of every term, my evangelism team brings me the list of children, and I just release the money. They liaise with the schools and ensure the fees are paid directly,” she explained.

The birthday celebration featured the distribution of welfare packages, food items, school materials, and relief support to widows and orphanages within the FCT.

One of the beneficiaries, a student, Praise Adekunle, expressed heartfelt appreciation, saying, “I want to thank mummy so much for giving me hope. She placed me on scholarship, and I pray God continues to bless and protect her.”

Another beneficiary, an SS1 student, Peter Oche, also testified: “Without mummy paying my school fees, I don’t think I would have any hope in life. My life has a meaning and is taking shape now.”

Visibly moved by the testimonies, Dr. Enenche said she was deeply touched by the impact of the initiative. “I’m so touched you interviewed them. This is why we do what we do — to change lives,” she said.

The Head of the Welfare Department, Engineer David Abu Ozigi, disclosed that over 30 orphanages benefited from the empowerment outreach.

“This is not unusual; it’s something our Mummy has done consistently. The Bible teaches that pure religion is to care for widows and orphans in their distress. She’s simply obeying that divine instruction,” Ozigi remarked.

He added that the gesture underscores the Dunamis Church’s continued commitment to humanitarian service and spiritual compassion.
