FACE THE CRISIS OF LIFE WITH PATIENCE

"Wait on the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:14 NKJV.

Devotion, 26th June, 2025

To me, people who wait patiently to see their results are scientists in laboratories. They observe and handle every mistake that might occur. Due to their patience, they succeed in many things, even despite the difficulty of the challenge.

Building on this idea, like scientists or doctors, the scripture encourages believers to face every crisis with patience by waiting on the Lord's time for a result. When believers face crises in life, they should not rush to a conclusion but rather trust God with courage. For His Word says, "He shall strengthen your heart." Psalm 27:14. He alone knows when the crisis will end.

In fact, David endured great suffering but waited on the Lord until he became the King of Israel; that is why he encouraged his readers to wait on the Lord. Many are waiting for the Lord's return; the Bible says, "Wait!" Do not be like those who think they have waited in vain and abandon their faith. Be like a farmer who waits patiently for his crops to yield. Trust God's sovereignty and timing for your suffering to end.

Furthermore, those who lack patience often end their marriages; others find themselves in prison because they were not patient enough with a situation they faced. Have you ever hurried to a conclusion and realised you were mistaken about a life challenge? Despite difficulties, no matter how severe, believers should consider it joy and wait on the Lord, who strengthens their hearts. He knows how to lead you to the joy that awaits.

From my own experience, my wife and I lacked patience until God revealed the reason for our struggles in marriage. We asked God for patience to let Him work through our difficulties, and eventually, we found happiness again. You, too, need to be patient and trust in God's sovereignty. If you face a challenge that holds back your life, pray now and watch His miracle unfold.

As a final encouragement, take a moment to trust God's sovereignty and be patient. He is there for you. Take patience as part of your weapon to achieve great results in your life. Wait patiently, and God will answer the test of your life.

Dear God, kindly help me to remain patient as I face every challenge in life. Let me trust in your sovereignty all the time, even if my bones seem crushed. In your promise, I believe, restore my strength and build patience in my wait. In your loving care, I trust. Amen

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
