Rwanda has bänned impørts of second-hand clothing and footwear from Eurøpe to bolster its local textile industry and foster self-reliance in fashion production. The government argues that cheap, used garments, often referred to as “chagua” or “clothes of deäd people,” undermine domestic manufacturing and compromise national dignity by flooding markets with abandoned clothes. Initiated in 2016 with high tariffs and finalized in 2025, the ban aims to create jobs and support the “Made in Rwanda” initiative, though it has sparked concerns about affordability, as local clothing remains expensive for many. The policy has also strained trade relations, notably with the U.S., leading to Rwanda’s partial suspension from AGOA in 2018. Despite challenges, the ban reflects Rwanda’s push for economic independence and pride in locally produced fashion.

*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. AFOLAYAN

In 2009, Nigerian actress Omoni Oboli walked out of a movie deal that would have earned her 90 million naira then, because of three scenes in the script.

She was contacted by a Hollywood producer to play a lead role in a movie that centred on African women. There were three scenes where she was supposed to go completely 'n@k3d' and play a character that was having 'the do' with three men.

She turned down the offer and said she would only take the role if the three scenes were removed or modified by the American producer. But the producer was not ready.

"I made it known to him (the Producer) that in my culture, you are only subject to your husband. I truly love my husband and he does too," she said.

He commended the sponsor of the competition, Alh. Ahmed Kabiru of AL-Simba-Home, and the organisers for sustaining the initiative as he wished all directorates good luck in the entire competition.

While describing the event not only as timely but highly strategic, he said this year's edition is to feature nine sports with the theme; Fostering Unity, Physical and Mental timely but highly strategic Well-being for an Efficient Workforce.

TRAORE BLACKLISTS ALL PRESIDENTS WHO ARE GIVING TAX BREAKS IN AFRICA

Africa's young and pioneering President Ibrahim Traore of Burkina Faso has within three years of being in power earned $18 billion from gold sales since he took over power. Traore recently rejected an IMF package and paid off all debt owed by his country. Within three years of being President, Traore has tarred over 5,000 kilometers of roads in his country, something never seen before.

However, Traore says he is very furious to note that there are some Presidents within Africa who are busy giving away minerals through senseless tax breaks to investors. The Burkina Faso President says such is an act of thieving and he will not entertain such leaders anywhere. Traore promises not to welcome such Presidents into his country because he considers them a disgrace to humanity.
