Text: Psalm 14:1.

Greetings, my brothers and sisters.

I hope you are having a wonderful moment. Do you know who a fool is? A fool is someone who knows the reality but does not believe in or do it; rather, they intentionally deny and oppose it. Many people know alcohol and cigarettes are harmful to health but still drink or smoke, hurting themselves. Similarly, many people know that bowing before an image is unbiblical, yet still glorify those images; some ask those images to pray for them. They deny Jesus as their mediator with God. Some people call Jesus a white god and reject his authority, resorting to their traditional philosophy, ideals, gods, or spirits. These people, the Bible calls them fools.

In Psalm 14:1, the Psalmist says, “The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt; they have done abominable works; there is none that doeth good.” That means a fool is someone who says or believes there is no God. They deny the authority of God, they deny His sovereignty, and they deny His glory. They deny such facts intentionally, though they know the truth that their lives exist because of a creator.

Those who deny God and His divinity are corrupt. They corrupt others' minds, tend to bribe their followers, and believe in marketing their philosophy and ideals. They are consistently mistaken in their thinking and act ignorantly. The psalmist continues to describe them as individuals whose lives are abominable, and nothing good can emerge from them because they aim to divert people away from the path of truth, being foolish.

Well, some people still would love to be fooled. Listen, the Bible contains the word of God, written for you to learn about your life and your existential behaviours, and calls you to worship God alone. There is no reality or truth outside the Word of God. Science is a practical principle of the Word of God; arts are His designs. Relying on science or the arts does not make you isolated from the sovereignty of God because He is the force behind all. Think deeply. Are you a fool? Is the Psalmist right to describe you as a fool, corrupt, abominable, and useless? You can do better than being a fool, corrupt, and abominable.

If you know the harmfulness of alcohol or cigarettes, you will know the hurt of denying God. It eats slowly but surely into eternal death. Why don’t you think today and make some adjustments in your mind about God, to worship and glorify Him only? By the way, there is no middle ground in deciding. You either remain in your foolishness or move out and stick with God. As you go about your day, may this message affect your life and prevent you from remaining a fool. May this message continuously transform your thinking about God, your Creator. Return to your senses and worship Him alone. Anyway, the choice is yours!

Dear God.
Thank you for reminding me to turn away from being a fool and to choose wisdom to guide my thoughts and understanding of who you are. Help me, Father, to reject any idea that might lead me into denying your authority and your sovereignty and live to glorify you alone. Help me walk your path for your glory and honour in Jesus' name

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...
