The conflict between Iran and Israel is rooted in a combination of historical, political, ideological, and security factors. Here are some of the primary reasons for the tensions and hostilities between the two nations: 1. Ideological Differences: Iran is an Islamic Republic with a theocratic regime that promotes a revolutionary ideology, opposing Western influence and what it perceives as imperialism in the region. Israel, on the other hand, is a democratic state with a Jewish identity, often seen by Iran as a symbol of Western imperialism and a primary adversary in the Middle East. 2. Support for Opposing Groups: Iran has supported various militant groups that oppose Israel, such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. This support includes military training, funding, and weapons supplies, which Israel views as a direct threat to its security. 3. Nuclear Program: Iran’s nuclear program has been a significant point of contention. Israel fears that if Iran develops nuclear weapons, it could pose an existential threat to the Jewish state. As a result, Israel has consistently opposed Iran's nuclear ambitions and has engaged in various efforts to sabotage the program, including cyber attacks. 4. Regional Influence: Iran seeks to expand its influence across the Middle East, supporting proxy groups and forming alliances with countries like Syria and Iraq. This expansion is seen by Israel as a direct threat to its national security and a challenge to its dominance in the region. 5. Historical Hostility: The establishment of Israel in 1948 and the subsequent Arab-Israeli conflicts have created a long-standing animosity in the region. Iran, particularly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, shifted its foreign policy to support anti-Israel sentiments and movements, aligning itself with the Palestinian cause and other adversaries of Israel. 6. Proxy Conflicts: The conflict between Iran and Israel often plays out through proxy wars in various countries, notably in Syria and Lebanon. Iran’s involvement in these conflicts, often supporting groups that attack Israel, creates an ongoing cycle of retaliation and violence. 7. Military Engagements: Israel has conducted airstrikes against Iranian military targets in Syria, aiming to prevent the establishment of a permanent Iranian military presence near its borders. These military engagements further escalate tensions and contribute to the ongoing hostilities. 8. International Alliances: The U.S.-Israel alliance plays a significant role in the conflict. Iran perceives the strong U.S. support for Israel as part of a broader strategy to contain Iranian influence in the region, heightening its animosity towards both countries. In summary, the conflict between Iran and Israel is driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and security factors. The ongoing hostilities are characterized by proxy conflicts, military engagements, and deep-rooted animosities, making any resolution challenging.

Really 😮‼️ "I'm not a Nigerian artist. I don't want people calling me just Nigerian. That is d!srespectful. I'm not a Nigerian artist. When people call me Nigerian, I feel like my dreams are failing. I'm African, and my dream is to make Africa united. When I see Nigeria and South Africa fighting every time, I cry. America is successful today because all the countries(states) that make up America don't see any difference in each other. Their strength comes from unity. When you say you are from the US, people respect you without asking which state you are from, but for Africa, it's always us fighting each other. The day Africa becomes the United States of Africa, we will have the strongest nation in the world. Our music industry will grow, and our sound will be global. Africans are strong, but disunity and hate weakens us." ~ Burna Boy join Jaconna on all social media and on my our website for more life changing post .

*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! T.S.

I loved my people, I tried to fight for them, but the enemy was strong and cunning; he turned my African brothers and sisters against me. They rejoiced when I was assassinated, thinking I was a bad man. They are gradually realizing the terrible mistake they made, but they have learned and now know the enemy by its name.

Iran Brought Israel On Their Knees, Now Begging For Ceasefire - Femi Fani-Kayode 👇👇👇 According to him "I congratulate the Islamic Republic of Iran for standing up to the Zionist bullies and Talmudic troublers of the world, teaching them the lesson of their lives, bringing them to their knees and forcing them to go running to their big brother America for help in the field of battle and to beg for a ceasefire. In its entire 77 year history the Zionist state has never suffered such shock, panic, trepidation, terror, infrastructural damage and shame and their cities have never been so savagely attacked and destroyed. They picked a fight with a strong and proud nation and got not just a bloody nose but a thorough beating. Never will they launch an unprovoked attack on Iran again. I thank God for the ceasefire and for the fact that lives will be saved. I commend the courage of the Armed Forces of Iran who were restrained in their military engagements and operations and who refused to commit atrocities, level Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to the ground or target civilians. Finally I commend the remarkable strength, faith and fortitude of Ayatollah Khameini @fr_Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, who kept his head held high throughout this war and inspired millions of people in Iran and indeed from all over the world with his humility, resilience and courage. He refused to bow to Bibi Netanyahu or Trump and his faith in God shielded him from death, harm and defeat. The Zionists and Americans not only failed in their objective to destroy all of Iran's nuclear enrichment plants and nuclear and ballistic missile threats, despite all pretentions to the contrary, but they also failed to kill Ayatollah Khameini, to effect regime change, to spark off a wider war in the Middle East, to take us one step closer to WW3 and to flatten the cities of Iran and slaughter its people in the same way as they have done in Gaza. I pray the ceasefire holds and I urge the Iranians to continue to be vigilant and to watch and to pray because the Zionists hate peace and cannot be trusted. Permit me to end with the following. I will continue to display and voice my utter and complete contempt and disgust for the child-killing, mass murdering, ethnic cleansing, genocidal, ethno-supremacist, fascist, racist, religiously fanatic, apartheid State of Israel as long as it continues to occupy the land of the Palestinians, to detain and torture the captives, to indulge in abominable and unspeakable practices, to bring turmoil to the Middle East, to bring war and destruction to its neighbours, to call its citizens God's chosen people and members of the master race and to slaughter the people of Gaza. I urge every right-thinking person who has managed to retain his or her humanity, who seeks justice, who cherishes peace, who loves God, who regards the Palestinians as human beings and who has a modicum of decency and compassion to do same. Until they refrain from their wicked ways and horrendous atrocities I shall continue to resist the sons and daughters of perdition, to expose the Ashkazi of Israel and the worshippers of Baal, to spit on their 'Star of Remphan' and to oppose the cult of the Synagogue of satan who falsely claim to be semites and Jews." (Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, Sadaukin Shinkafi) -

*TOPIC: BELIEVING GOD FOR THE MIRACULOUS.*(Series 1) *Scripture Reading:* Matthew 17:26-27 *"When Peter said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are exempt [from taxation]. However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take it and give it to them [to pay the temple tax] for you and Me.”*(AMP) By the grace of God, the Holy Spirit will be helping us in this series to really trust God for the better life we desire. As we go deep in the teaching, you will be miraculously helped in Jesus Christ name. Amen! *Miracles are extraordinary occurrences that can only be attributed to the supernatural work of God and demonstrate His involvement in human history.* FOUR MAJOR TYPES OF MIRACLES: Miracles, extraordinary events demonstrating divine intervention in human affairs, can be traced from Genesis to Revelation and divided into four main categories. *1) Physical miracles:* This miracles, such as the man at the gate called Beautiful, who went walking, leaping and praising God when Peter and John commanded him to be made whole. *"Then Peter said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God."*(Acts 3:6-8 NIV) *2) Provisional miracles:* Today's Scripture, when Jesus provided money for Peter to pay taxes, ordered him to go to the river to make a catch. Peter obeyed and found the money in the mouth of the fish which was used to pay their taxes. *3) Miracles of protection or deliverance:* Example is like when Peter was delivered out of prison by an angel(Acts 12:6-9), or when an angel appeared to Paul and told him all lives on board his sinking ship would be saved. Finally, *4) Signs and wonders that God performs:* miracles that simply prove His power or existence, like when God proof Himself at the Red Sea before the Egyptians. *"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind all that night and turned the seabed into dry land, and the waters were divided."*(Exodus 14:21 AMP). It's your turn to shout for joy at this season and I pray for you this morning that may you experience one of this Miracles before the year runs out in Jesus Christ name. Amen! To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful week, peace. *Prayer point:* Thank you father, the miracle worker., the way maker, the great provider, the great physician and the destiny molder, come and visit my life today in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN

😱 Is 🇬🇭 Ghana now the 6th largest economy on the continent? According to the Central Bank of Ghana (BoG), the economy of the country is valued at $135.1 billion in 2025. Ghana's economy being valued at $135.1 billion in dollar terms means that the country's total economic output, measured by its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), is estimated to be worth approximately $135.1 billion. This valuation reflects a significant increase from the previous year, driven primarily by : - Strong commodity exports: A notable uptick in gold and cocoa exports, with gold exports jumping 40.8% month-over-month from $3.72 billion to $5.25 billion, and cocoa exports rising 22.5% from $1.50 billion to $1.84 billion. - Strengthening currency: The appreciation of the Ghanaian cedi against major international currencies has contributed to the upward revision of the economy's valuation in US dollar terms, enhancing Ghana's purchasing power and improving investor sentiment. In local currency terms, Ghana's economy has expanded to GH¢1.4 trillion as of end-March 2025, representing a GH¢224 billion ($21.6 billion) increase from the GH¢1.176 trillion ($112.9 billion) recorded at the end of 2024. This growth indicates a positive economic trend, with increased output and earnings from key commodities boosting fiscal revenue and improving the country's current account outlook.

*TOPIC: CHRISTIAN HOMES: PILLARS THAT SUSTAIN MARRIAGES*(Series 1) *Scripture Reading:* Genesis 2:20-25 Marriage is one single unit that touches every part of the society. People who have become armed robbers, cultists, prostitutes and assassins, yahoo are from one home or the other and the society is where it is because of them. *Once the devil is able to destroy marriage, the society is finished.* And that's why God is so much interested in our marriages as believers. On this series, we shall be looking at some pillars that contribute and strengthen Marriages and it's my earnest prayer that the Holy Spirit will reveal the truth to you in Jesus Christ name. Amen! Some years ago, I was opportune to help in supervising a building project in a sloppy, watering and sand fill environment. *In order to build a house there, the owner was instructed and guided on what to do to build a lasting house on the said Land by the site engineer. Full rafter was done and serious compaction by some machines. It cost millions to get the foundation done with pillars and beams well positioned.* In the same way, marriage is a house that is in danger of being washed away unless it is built on some pretty strong pillars. I have here identified some pillars of marriage. These pillars of marriage need each other to be strengthened in order for it to stand. They are foundational; *1) The Rock (Jesus):* The ultimate anchoring point in a marriage is a 100% shared belief in Jesus as Savior and Lord and in His Word as His infallible instruction for life and marriage.  *Marriage is much more than a business contract or life strategy.  It is a uniting of two into one at the deepest heart and soul level.* By definition, marriage involves a spiritual component, which is why the Lord doesn’t want us to marry unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14, Ephesians 4:5).  He knows that without a common faith, belief, and confession that a marriage will never be what it could and should be. *Knowing that one’s spouse believes firmly in what God says regarding marriage gives lasting hope that struggles and frustrations can be overcome because both spouses are following the same roadmap to the same destination.* To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a fruitful weekend, peace. *Prayer point:* Father, you are the author of marriage, come into my home and remove every unwanted seed that can kill my marriage in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
