No economic recession will stop God from working for his people – Cleric

Godwin Emefiele, CBN governor

The Cleric in charge of All Saints Methodist Church Mararaba, Rev. Caleb Ekele on Sunday said the economic recession in the country would not stop God from working for his people.

Ekele gave the assurance during his sermon at the 2016 Karu Circuit harvest celebration tagged: ”Harvest of Thanksgiving”.

The cleric took his scripture from John Chapter 11 and quoted verse 11, which says, ”Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.”

He said that Lazarus in the Bible was sick and his brethren took the matter to his master Jesus, who delayed from coming to rescue the situation and he died.

He said that before the master could come, things had gone very bad as Lazarus had died for four days.

”Before the master could come, the devil had reached the peak of his plan, he did his worst and the blame was on the master who failed to respond immediately,” he said.

The cleric said that for Jesus to have delayed to come did not mean he did not know what to do in such a situation.

Ekele, who compared the story of Lazarus with the present situation in the country, said “no matter the situation we are passing through in life, God is able to see us through.’’

The cleric assured Nigerians that if God could intervene in the situation after he had died for four days, He would revive the nation in spite of the lingering economic situation.

The harvest service featured choir rendition from All Saints Choir, Mararaba and payers were also offered for the revival of the nation.

Houthis Claim Attack on Central Israel in Response to Gaza ‘Massacres’

The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has taken a concerning regional turn as the Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on central Israel. The group announced this as part of their escalating response to what they describe as "massacres" in Gaza amid the Israeli military’s operations in the strip. Details of the Attack The Houthis, a Shiite militant group with ties to Iran, declared that they launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel. While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace. This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders. Syria is not just an ally for Russia; it is a...
