Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7-8). In these last days, it’s inspiring to see God’s children knowing more about the gifts of the Spirit than ever before. But one area where they’ve constantly made a mistake is in their interpretation of a gift mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 as the word of knowledge. Incidentally, that’s the only place throughout the Scriptures where it is referred to as the word of knowledge. Every other time the gift was referenced, it was called knowledge, not word of knowledge. What many wrongly call the gift of the word of knowledge is, in fact, the manifestation of the gift of prophecy. You’re not manifesting “knowledge” when you supernaturally know or speak something about somebody or events in his life; that’s prophecy, because prophecy reveals the secrets of men. The Bible says through prophecy, the secrets of a man’s heart are revealed (1 Corinthians 14:24-25). The gift of knowledge refers to the manifestation of spiritual knowledge of divine things which includes the cosmos. The word “knowledge” in our opening verse is from the Greek, “Gnosis,” which means scientific knowledge—knowledge that’s based on intellectual activity. This knowledge can be supernaturally imparted to you by the Spirit of God through this gift. Think about it: God made the plants and the animals; He made the metals and everything there is in the world. He can teach you about them. He can give you supernatural knowledge in artificial intelligence, robotics, law, or medicine. The world is looking for solutions, and we’re the ones to provide them. Christ, the embodiment of all wisdom and knowledge, lives in you. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge, lives in you; He teaches you all things and can supernaturally impart knowledge about anything to your spirit. Become more conscious of the ministry of the Spirit in your life. Be mindful of His power, presence, and His ability to impart solutions to your spirit that’ll change the world. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of knowledge, who dwells in me and teaches me all things so that I can deal wisely in all affairs of life. He’s the One who gives me absolute knowledge of concepts, ideas, circumstances, and situations with which I birth innovations and solutions to change my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

DAILY SCRIPTURE READING1-Year Bible Reading Plan2 Corinthians 6:3-7:1 & Proverbs 20-21 2-Year Bible Reading PlanLuke 21:20-28 & 1 Samuel 26 DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I am constantly mindful of God’s indwelling and abiding presence which has made me a victor and a master over circumstances. Fears, worries, darkness, confusion, and uncertainty have no place in me. I take advantage of God’s presence and bask in the glory and transformation that it brings. I do not worry about my health, finances, or anything else because the Lord has perfected all that concerns me.

I glorify God in my body, and by the Spirit, it functions perfectly all the time because it is the Lord’s. My life is the expression of all that Christ is. His divine life is manifested through me. I live in the consciousness of my divine life and origin in Christ, knowing that the life I live is superior to sickness, disease, and defeat. The life of God in me has supplanted the human life that was susceptible to sickness and disease. I am a king and my words are full of power and authority; therefore I live a life of victory, success, divine health, abundance, excellence, and glory. I am not a victim but a victor. God’s Word is producing what it talks about in my life. I am strengthened with divine enablement in my inner man by the Holy Ghost. I function today with the Spirit of might, dominion, and excellence. My life is a life of ever-increasing glory and peace. I live above turmoil or confusion because I flourish in God’s rest.

The works of my hands are blessed and I am set on the path of permanent success and prosperity. I do not know when the heat comes, for I am fashioned to flourish like the cedar in Lebanon in Jesus’ name. Amen! Speak in tongues.
Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has provided insights into why the Turkish Super Lig giants failed to secure the services of Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman from Atalanta during the recent summer transfer window. According to Buruk, Galatasaray made serious attempts to bring in the Nigerian international but were left disappointed after Atalanta firmly rejected the possibility of letting him leave on loan. In his words, Buruk admitted that the club was very keen and even excited about the prospect of signing Lookman, especially after the successful rise of African strikers in Europe. He stated: “We were genuinely interested in Ademola Lookman. The club was excited, and we wondered if a move similar to Victor Osimhen’s case was about to happen. But Atalanta made it clear that they would not release him on loan,” Buruk said, as quoted by Turkish football journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu. Lookman’s Transfer Situation The Nigerian winger had reportedly expressed his desire to leave Atalanta and even went as far as submitting an official transfer request. Despite his determination to seek a move away, the Serie A side stood firm on their decision. Notably, top European clubs such as Inter Milan and Bayern Munich were also interested in acquiring Lookman’s signature, but Atalanta rejected all offers. The Italian club’s management maintained that the 26-year-old remained a crucial part of their squad. In line with this, Lookman was officially included in Atalanta’s Champions League squad list, signaling their firm intention to keep him beyond the summer transfer speculation. Why Atalanta Refused Atalanta’s decision not to part ways with Lookman was strategic. After his impressive performances in the 2022/2023 season—where he scored key goals both in Serie A and in European competitions—club officials believed he was too valuable to lose. This stance mirrors a broader trend in European football where clubs are increasingly reluctant to release top players without significant transfer fees. Atalanta’s refusal shows their determination to compete strongly in domestic and continental competitions this season. The Bigger Picture for Galatasaray For Galatasaray, missing out on Lookman is a setback. The club is actively strengthening its squad to dominate the Turkish Super Lig and make an impact in European tournaments. Buruk’s remarks suggest that Galatasaray saw Lookman as an ideal addition who could replicate the success stories of other Nigerian forwards excelling in Europe. However, the failure to secure him means Galatasaray will now have to look elsewhere in their search for attacking reinforcements. Fans of the Turkish side are still hopeful that future windows may present another opportunity to sign the Nigerian star if Atalanta decides to negotiate.

The encounter took place at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium, where Portugal delivered an exceptional performance that underlined their determination to secure a spot in the upcoming global tournament. Match Highlights: Portugal vs Armenia The match began with high intensity as Joao Felix gave Portugal the lead in the 10th minute. Just eleven minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo doubled the advantage with a precise finish, further energizing the Portuguese side. In a moment of emotion, Ronaldo pointed towards the sky after scoring, dedicating his goal to the late Diogo Jota, symbolizing the deep connection between Portugal’s players and their teammates past and present. Shortly after, Joao Cancelo extended the scoreline to 3-0, cementing Portugal’s control of the game. Ronaldo later added his second goal of the night, showing once again why he remains one of the greatest forwards in football. To round off the encounter, Felix secured his brace before the final whistle, sealing a remarkable 5-0 triumph for Portugal. Ronaldo’s Reaction After the Match Reacting after the impressive victory, Cristiano Ronaldo posted on his official X account (formerly Twitter), writing: “First step taken.” His words reflected confidence and optimism as Portugal eyes further success in the qualification campaign.

Former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has strongly denied media reports suggesting he intends to defect to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Ganduje, who resigned from his position as APC National Chairman on June 27, 2024, citing health concerns, described the speculation as nothing more than fake news aimed at distracting loyal party members and creating unnecessary political tension. The former Kano State governor assumed the role of APC National Chairman on August 3, 2023, following an emergency meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC). His resignation, however, sparked rumors that he and some of his supporters were considering moving to the ADC, a claim he has now officially dismissed. In a statement released on Saturday, Ganduje’s spokesperson, Edwin Olofu, clarified that the APC stalwart remains firmly committed to both the party and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. “Dr. Ganduje is a dedicated member of the All Progressives Congress. He is not only a loyal party man but also a strong supporter of President Bola Tinubu and his Renewed Hope vision. The speculation about him leaving APC is baseless and should be disregarded,” Olofu stated. Olofu further emphasized that Ganduje has no intention of abandoning the ruling party at such a critical time. He urged party members and Nigerians to focus on supporting the government’s reform programs instead of spreading false stories. The clarification comes amid heightened political debates ahead of the 2027 general elections. Ganduje’s stance reinforces the APC’s unity and underlines the ruling party’s determination to consolidate its leadership across Nigeria.

Former House of Representatives member, Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, has officially confirmed his resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), only hours after the Kwankwasiyya faction loyal to Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso announced his expulsion. In a personally signed statement released on Saturday, Kofa admitted that his dismissal came as a “rude shock”. However, he emphasized that he had accepted the decision with maturity and no resentment, urging the party leadership to allow him to depart in peace without unnecessary controversy. “Although I would have loved to remain in the NNPP and continue to serve my people and Nigeria despite certain disagreements, the party has spoken. I must therefore accept the outcome in good faith and without bitterness. I only plead with the party to permit me to go in peace,” Kofa said. Kofa Defends Himself Over TV Interview The lawmaker, who represented Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency in Kano State, defended his statements during a recent television interview that was cited as the reason for his expulsion. He insisted that his remarks did not amount to anti-party activity. “I strongly believe the views I expressed in the interview I granted days ago did not warrant such a severe punishment. My statements align with the fundamental principles of the NNPP, which encourage healthy debate and freedom of expression. For clarity, I stand firmly by every word I said,” he explained. No Fair Hearing Before Expulsion Kofa criticized the process through which he was removed, alleging that he was denied the opportunity to defend himself. “No invitation or hearing was extended to me by any organ of the party, completely ignoring the principle of justice, due process, and fairness that the NNPP itself often advocates,” he lamented. Denies Non-Payment of Party Dues On accusations that he defaulted on his financial obligations to the party, Kofa rejected the claim, clarifying that he was willing to clear any outstanding dues. “I respectfully ask the party to issue me an invoice, and I will immediately settle whatever remains unpaid. Such issues do not require court action,” he stressed. Call for Civility and Next Political Move Despite the fallout, Kofa appreciated the support he had received during his time in the NNPP, while calling on members to maintain civility as they part ways. “I appeal to NNPP leaders and members to uphold decorum and avoid personal attacks as we disengage. For me, relationships will endure regardless of political affiliations,” he added. Kofa, who once served as Director-General of the Tinubu Support Groups before joining the NNPP in 2022, revealed that he would carefully consult with his supporters before making his next political decision. “I will evaluate all available options before announcing my next political platform. So help me God,” he concluded.

The tragic death of Deborah Moses Okwori, popularly known as Deb’rah Porsche, has once again thrown Nigeria into mourning and reignited conversations about the alarming rise of relationship-related femicides across the country. Deborah, a 23-year-old interior designer with a promising future, was allegedly murdered in Lagos by her ex-boyfriend, Lintex Ogale. Her killing has left many shocked and devastated, symbolizing yet another case where women’s trust in their partners was brutally betrayed. According to LMSINT MEDIA, Deborah’s murder is not an isolated case. Instead, it is part of a long and disturbing trend of women killed in intimate relationships spanning over a decade in Nigeria. A Disturbing Pattern of Violence Across states such as Abuja, Lagos, Benue, and Nasarawa, countless cases have been reported where women never made it out alive from toxic or abusive relationships. A report jointly released by UN Women and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) revealed a chilling global reality: 140 women and girls are killed daily by an intimate partner or close family member — that is one woman every 10 minutes. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for stronger interventions in Nigeria and beyond. The report was released on the 25th anniversary of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, highlighting that femicide is not just an African issue but a worldwide crisis requiring immediate action. Timeline of Tragic Relationship-Related Murders in Nigeria Calls for Justice and Urgent Action Speaking on the rising cases of relationship-related killings, human rights lawyer Barr. Enewa Grace Adanu condemned the trend, labeling it as gender-targeted violence rather than isolated crimes. “Women are not possessions men can discard when relationships end. Nigeria must treat these killings as femicides. Stronger legislation, swifter prosecution, and dedicated courts for gender-based violence are urgently required,” Adanu emphasized. Human rights activist Meddy Olotu, who first broke the news of Deborah’s murder, urged women to prioritize their safety above societal pressures. “No relationship is worth dying for. Abuse and threats are not love; they are warning signs that must never be ignored,” he stressed. Meanwhile, Sima Bahous, Executive Director of UN Women, stated that Deborah’s death is a grim reminder of the dangers of silence. “Violence against women and girls is preventable. What we need is robust legislation, increased accountability, and stronger funding for women’s rights groups. World leaders must unite to end femicide once and for all,” Bahous said. Conclusion The tragic story of Deb’rah Porsche adds to a devastating list of women whose lives were stolen in the hands of people they once trusted. Nigeria is at a crossroads: either strengthen its legal and social systems to protect women or continue watching innocent lives being lost to relationship-related violence.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18). Have you ever pondered why, as a younger Christian, it seemed your prayers received quicker answers compared to now that you’ve grown in your walk with the Lord? Maybe you even prayed incorrectly, and yet God always answered you. Yes, He answered you because you were a spiritual infant. God answers such prayers, not because they’re right, but because He’s giving the babes some space to grow. After a while, what used to work for them at that level won’t work anymore because they have to stop feeding on milk: “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe” (Hebrews 5:13). As you grow in Christ, God starts taking you more seriously. The things you say and do—the words you speak, the words you hear, how you reason, what you think about the Scriptures, how you pray and the content of your prayers, etc.—will begin to matter. You discover we don’t pray to Jesus in the Name of Jesus; rather, we pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus. We also don’t “come to Him” every time we pray. The day you gave your heart to Christ to be born again, was the day you came to Him. The sinner can say, “Oh Lord, I come to you in the Name of Jesus” because he was out. But you are in Him; you live in Him. To a young or carnal Christian, these things may not mean much, but they bear great spiritual significance. The Bible says, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14). When you grow up and start applying the Scriptures rightly, you’ll discover that you’ll no longer experience ups and downs in life. Your life will be from faith to faith, grace to grace, and glory to glory. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for your Word, which is my life and the light by which I see. I’m yielded to its power to transform and build me up in every area, delivering to me my inheritance in Christ. Your glory is revealed in my life, constantly transfiguring and renewing me more and more in knowledge into your image, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria secured a narrow but vital 1-0 victory over Rwanda in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match on Saturday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo. The match-winning moment came in the 51st minute when Wolves forward Tolu Arokodare came off the bench to score the decisive goal. His strike lifted Nigeria to third place in Group C of the African qualifying zone, keeping their hopes of qualifying for the next World Cup in the United States alive. Nigeria, three-time African champions, will now face Group C leaders South Africa in a crucial encounter on Tuesday. That clash will likely determine whether the Super Eagles stay on track for the 2026 World Cup. Below are three major lessons we learned from Nigeria’s hard-fought win against Rwanda. 1. South Africa Will Be a Tougher Test Despite the victory, Nigeria’s performance against Rwanda was far from convincing. Much of the struggle stemmed from coach Eric Chelle’s tactical setup, which lacked a natural presence on the right wing. This imbalance left the team vulnerable and limited their attacking options. Facing South Africa will be a different challenge altogether. The Bafana Bafana are in fine form and currently top Group C. Nigeria’s players will need to raise their game, show more creativity, and demonstrate better tactical awareness if they hope to secure all three points in that decisive fixture. 2. Tolu Arokodare Proves to Be a Reliable Deputy for Victor Osimhen With Victor Osimhen battling fitness concerns, Nigeria needed someone to step up in attack. Arokodare answered that call. The young striker, fresh from signing for English Premier League side Wolves, delivered once again by coming off the bench to score the winner. This was not his first impactful substitution, as he has now scored twice after being introduced from the bench. Given Osimhen’s possible absence for the clash against South Africa, it would be reasonable for Chelle to consider giving Arokodare a starting role. His composure in front of goal makes him a reliable option in Nigeria’s frontline. 3. Lack of VAR Remains a Major Concern For the second time in this qualifying campaign, Nigeria was denied what appeared to be a legitimate goal due to the absence of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). In the first half, Osimhen found the back of the net, but the assistant referee flagged him offside. Replays clearly showed that the Napoli striker was onside, yet no VAR review was possible. This incident highlights a growing problem in African football. The absence of VAR not only undermines fair play but also risks denying teams vital goals in important matches. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) needs to urgently address this issue to ensure credibility in the qualifying series. Conclusion The 1-0 win over Rwanda gave Nigeria a much-needed lifeline in their 2026 World Cup qualifying journey. While Arokodare’s goal provided relief, the match exposed tactical flaws, reliance on new talents, and the recurring issue of missing VAR technology. The real test now lies ahead against South Africa, where the Super Eagles must show resilience, creativity, and determination. With the group standings finely balanced, every game counts as Nigeria pushes for another World Cup appearance.

Former Super Eagles legends, Samson Siasia and Victor Ikpeba, have shared their scoreline predictions and expectations ahead of the World Cup qualifier clash between Nigeria and Rwanda. The crucial encounter will take place at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, this Saturday. Nigerian fans are anticipating a strong performance from the Super Eagles as they continue their quest for qualification. Siasia and Ikpeba Share Their Predictions During a pre-match session on Super Sports, both Siasia and Ikpeba gave their forecasts for the highly anticipated encounter. Siasia, a former Super Eagles coach, confidently predicted a 2-0 victory for Nigeria, highlighting the team’s attacking strength and determination. Supporting his colleague’s outlook, Ikpeba, an ex-international forward, also went with the same prediction, backing Nigeria to secure a two-goal margin win against the Rwandan side. Nigeria’s Must-Win Situation This match is more than just a qualifier — it is a decisive battle for Nigeria’s World Cup dream. The Super Eagles must secure maximum points to keep their hopes of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States alive. “I’ll say 2-0,” Siasia confidently remarked on Super Sports. Ikpeba echoed the same sentiment, adding, “Yeah, I’ll go for 2-0 for Nigeria.” A win against Rwanda will not only lift the team’s morale but also strengthen their position in the qualification table, ensuring that Nigerian football fans continue to dream of seeing their team shine on the global stage. The Stakes for Nigeria For a country with a rich football heritage, failing to qualify would be a major setback. The Super Eagles are three-time African champions, and expectations are always high when they step onto the pitch. Saturday’s showdown is, therefore, not just about points but also about pride and legacy. If the predicted scoreline comes true, Nigeria will remain firmly in the race to secure a World Cup ticket, keeping fans hopeful for a return to glory.
