Finally, The cat’s out of the bag indeed as Prophet Israel Ford and Pastor Lydia Ford of LifeWorks Church, Ohio, publicly introduce Israel’s second wife, Minister Shakayla Ford to their congregation.
They went on to describe the arrangement as the "will of God" whilst making reference to examples of polygyny in the Old Testament. 😓
Hmm…is the first wife genuinely okay with this? 🤔

Armor Up and Rally the Troops
We’ve talked about how to use the weapons God has given us. But every warrior knows, you’re not ready for battle until you’re in your armor.
In Ephesians, Paul encourages us to put on the full armor of God—not just when we’re feeling weak, but every day. Before our feet hit the floor in the morning, we should armor up through prayer.
The Belt of Truth reminds us who we are in Christ. The Breastplate of Righteousness protects our hearts as we strive to make God-honoring decisions.
The Shoes of Peace give us a restful tranquility everywhere we go. The Shield of Faith helps us trust in God, no matter our circumstances.
The Helmet of Salvation keeps out Satan’s distractions and gives us a sound mind. And by reading the Bible, our Sword of the Spirit helps us speak truth and life over every situation.
Each piece of armor is crucial in protecting us from harm, but we still need another thing to be fully ready for the fight. Warriors don’t charge into battle alone because they recognize they’re stronger together. Similarly, we weren’t meant to engage in spiritual warfare without a community of believers around us.
When you let your guard down and truly let others get to know you, it forges a special bond. They won’t let you beat yourself up, stay home depressed, or wallow in self deprecation. When you’ve lost all strength, they’ll pull you up. When you don’t have the words, they’ll rebuke the enemy and fight on your behalf.
We were designed to lock arms and fight together, so don’t isolate yourself. Make the effort to build community and watch out for each other. Because the battle is real, and the enemy prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
With God, we don’t need to fear. Instead, let the warfare fire you up! Let it awaken you to the power of God and what He stands ready to do through you. See the attacks as confirmation of God's purpose for your life.
Don’t be confused or overwhelmed. Be motivated and encouraged. We are robbing hell and setting captives free! So, stay in the Word. Take thoughts captive. Worship like never before. Pray without ceasing. Put on God’s armor. And get in community. You’re on the front lines, so let’s hear your battle cry! Because it’s time to fight! Fight! Fight! — Bible.com

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.”
Ephesians 6:11-18 NIV

Actor, Francis Duru attempted to debunk the rumours about the gravity of his sickness shortly before he passed on.
Social media has the ability to steal your peace!😓
May his soul rest in peace. 🙏🏼🙏🏾🙏🏻
In President Trump’s Style, Peter Obi Hails himself 😁👌🏾👌🏻👌🏽
In his own words, he tells Nigerians why he strongly qualifies to be the next President of Nigeria. 🇳🇬
Impressive?
“The American military right now cannot produce a bomb, cannot produce a F35 fighter jet, cannot produce a drone without China. There’s no way we are entering into world war 3….”
Really? 😳🤔😬
APC SPOKESPERSON THROWS APC MINISTERS UNDER THE BUS, ALLEGES CORRUPTION. 😬

WHEN PRISON LOOKS LIKE THIS, WHAT DOES “LIFE IMPRISONMENT” REALLY MEAN? 😬
In 1966, Richard Speck murdered eight student nurses in Chicago in one of America’s most notorious mass killings. One of the nine women present, Corazon Amurao, survived by hiding under a bed and later identified Speck in court. The jury took just 49 minutes to find him guilty.
Speck was sentenced to death, but that sentence was later overturned, and he spent the remainder of his life in Illinois’ maximum-security Stateville Correctional Center. He died of a heart attack in 1991, aged 49.
Then, in 1996, five years after his death, a shocking videotape surfaced.
The footage had secretly been recorded inside Stateville in 1988. It showed Speck with other inmates, apparently using drugs, displaying what appeared to be a large roll of $100 bills, engaging in sexual activity and boasting about how much fun he was having behind bars. Most disturbingly, he openly admitted killing the nurses and showed absolutely no remorse.
At one point, when asked whether he had killed the women, Speck simply replied:
“Sure I did.”
He even described the killings in chilling detail.
The tape caused enormous outrage in Illinois. State lawmakers held hearings and demanded answers about how a notorious mass murderer in a maximum-security prison had been able to access video equipment, drugs and other contraband, and how the footage had been made and removed from the prison.
But beyond the horror of Richard Speck himself, the footage raises an uncomfortable question:
If someone serving life for eight murders could apparently live like this behind bars, was that really punishment?
And what must the victims’ families have felt watching it?
Is Justice simply about locking someone away? Is it not also about ensuring that the sentence actually means something? 🤷🏼🤷🏽♀️🤷🏾♂️
A truly disturbing piece of history. 😓
