PRIDE SHALL GO INTO CAPTIVITY

Verse1

Do not seek Royalty

Nor enter Pride

Pass over to Wisdom

Pride shall go into captivity

Royalty shall come to nothing BUT

Seek the Lord and Live

Verse2

Do not let the Lord break out like fire

In the royal palace, devour it

With no one to put it off

You who turn justice to wormwood

You lay righteousness to death. BUT

Seek the Lord and live

Verse3

Hear this, you sons of Jezebel,

A lamentation for your downfall

City that marches out by a thousand

I will let it go to a hundred and

Those who go out by a hundred

Shall have ten left to your house, BUT anyway

Seek the Lord and you will live

Verse4

You who hate the one who rebukes in the open

You who abhor the one who speaks uprightly

You who tread down the poor and confiscate their grain

Though you built houses of hewn stones

You shall not dwell in them

Though you plant pleasant vineyards

You shall not drink wine from them, BUT

If you seek the Lord, you will live

Verse5

The Lord knows your manifold transgressions

He knows your mighty sins

You who afflict the just and take bribes

You divert the poor from Justice at the gate

The prudent keep silent at all times

Because you are very evil, BUT

Seek the Lord and you will live

Verse6.

Hear this, oh Sons of Jezebel.

Seek good and not evil

To live, to be with you, I have spoken

Do not hate, do no evil

Establish justice,

I am ready to be gracious

To the remnants, the faithful.

Just Seek the Lord and Live

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...
