*TOPIC: BELIEVING GOD FOR THE MIRACULOUS.*(Series 9)

*Scripture Reading:* Psalm 78:40-42

*"How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert! Again and again, they tempted God, And distressed the Holy One of Israel. They did not remember [the miracles worked by] His [powerful] hand, Nor the day when He redeemed them from the enemy,"*(AMP)

Am glad to welcome you to the second half of the year 2025. Thank God you make it to JULY. This month will be your month of EVIDENCE and you will experience LOUDER TESTIMONY because God will perfect all that concerns you this month in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

In many occasions, in the lives of His children, God desire that they should see His mighty works but unfortunately, God will be displeased. Think about when Jesus came to Nazareth. He was ‘God in the flesh,’ yet the Bible says, *"And He could not do a miracle there at all [because of their unbelief] except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. He wondered at their unbelief. And He was going around in the villages teaching."* (Mk. 6:5-6 AMP) Why? Because God has so designed things that OUR PART in miracles is to have faith in God and 0if we fail in our part, it will hindered God's move.

The Holy Spirit will be helping us to see why we LIMIT God in doing the miraculous in our lives:

*I). OUR LACK OF FAITH LIMITS GOD:* The Bible provides numerous examples where lack of faith on the part of some negatively impacted many. Some of these Bible examples are:

1.Ten of the Twelve Israelites Sent to Spy Out the Land of Canaan. The faith that these ten had in the power of God to give Israel victory over the inhabitants of Canaan was virtually non-existent.*“Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, ‘Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it." "But the men who had gone up with him said, ‘We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.’ And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, ‘The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."*(Numb 13:30-33 NKJV)

The lack of faith on the part of the ten unbelieving spies brought frightening consequences to the Israelites. *These are the things to be noted in the christian journey. Is either you're a believer or unbeliever. If you're a believer, good but if you're unbeliever, is better you separate yourself from the fold so as not to invoke the wrath of God on the congregation because you will limit God's mighty hands as your presence would have polluted the minds of the congregation.* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful NEW MONTH, peace.

*Prayer Point:* Father, deliver me from the spirit of faithlessness that has been affecting my spiritual growth in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

Public speaking is the best way to get to know each other better.

The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) hosted a roundtable discussion on the theme “Reviewing Petroleum Agreements for the Good of Ghana” at the IEA Dialogue Centre, Accra. The discussion featured a presentation by Mr. Victor Anku-Tsede (Barrister and Solicitor) and brought together key stakeholders including individual experts, relevant institutions, and the media.

The event highlighted that Ghana’s petroleum sector stands at a crossroads, with concerns about legacy petroleum agreements and low government take. It emphasized that reforming these agreements is not a radical proposition but a practical, globally consistent approach to maximising public benefit.

It was a fruitful and engaging discussion that reinforced the IEA’s position that we must "Review the Petroleum Agreements for the Good of Ghana"

Alleged N110b Fraud: Court Adjourns Yahaya Bello’s Trial to July 8



Justice Maryanne Anenih of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Maitama, Abuja, on Wednesday, adjourned the N110 billion fraud trial of the immediate past Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, and two others until July 8; October 8 and 9; and November 12 and 13.



Bello is facing trial alongside Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, on16-count charges bordering on criminal breach of trust and money laundering to the tune of N110.4 billion. The offence, according to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is contrary to Sections 96 and 311 of the Penal Code Law Cap.89, Laws of Northern Nigeria, 1963, and punishable under Section 312 of the same law.



At the resumed hearing of the matter on Wednesday, EFCC first witness, Fabian Nwora completed his evidence. Nwora is the chairman of EFAB Property which handled the property that is the subject of the suit. He told the court that he opened negotiations on the said property but that the negotiation was concluded by Segun Adeleke, who is the EFCC second witness (PW2)



Nwora had, at a previous hearing, testified that he was invited to the EFCC on Feb. 8, 2023. He explained that it was in regard to a transaction between Shehu Bello and EFAB Property on a property located at No. 1 Ikogosi Street, Maitama. He noted that it was Mr Shehu who approached him about the property.



Adeleke, led by the prosecution counsel, Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, reiterated that, in 2020, his chairman, Nwora, gave him the brief on the property, which Shehu showed interest in. He said the deal was concluded and N500 million paid for the said property.



When asked further what happened afterwards, the witness said Bello returned to their office, with the agreement. “He told me that he was no longer interested in the property as a result of the EFCC investigation.

“My chairman said he would revert after consulting with our company secretary,” he said.



Pinheiro asked about some documents issued to one Nuhu Muhammed in respect of a property in the Gwarinpa area. The witness confirmed that the documents were issued to the said Muhammed after he purchased one of the units of the detached bungalows belonging to EFAB Property Limited.



At that point, Counsel for Mr Shehu and the second defendant Joseph Daudu, SAN, objected. He said “My lord, there is a clear disconnect between the documents sought to be tendered and the foundation laid by the witness himself.” The prosecution, however, said the objection was misconceived and it was subsequently overruled by the Judge.



Justice Anenih adjourned the case until July 8 and Oct 8, 2025, for continuation of hearing.
