SUNDAY REFLECTION: EMBRACING GOD’S STRENGTH IN OUR WEAKNESS

Today’s Sunday readings offer profound insights into the nature of faith and the challenges we face in living it out. In Ezekiel 2:2-5, the prophet is sent to a rebellious house of Israel, equipped with the Spirit of God. This passage reminds us that even in the face of rejection and resistance, we are called to stand firm in our mission, trusting in the strength that God provides.
In 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, Paul shares his own struggles, speaking of a “thorn in the flesh” that keeps him humble. Despite his pleas for its removal, God responds, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” This teaches us that our weaknesses and struggles can become conduits for God’s power and grace, transforming our limitations into opportunities for His strength to shine through.
The Gospel reading from Mark 6:1-6 shows Jesus returning to His hometown, where He faces skepticism and unbelief. Despite His wisdom and miracles, many doubt Him because of their familiarity with His humble origins. This story reminds us that faith requires openness and humility. It challenges us to look beyond our preconceptions and recognize the presence of God in our midst, even when it comes from unexpected places.
Reflecting on these readings, we are reminded of how God consistently lifts His people, ensuring that we bear fruits in our lives. This divine assurance is not just a promise but a living reality we witness daily. It is through faith that we find the strength to overcome obstacles and the wisdom to make decisions that benefit not just ourselves but our entire community.
I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where everyone can prosper and achieve their dreams. With God’s guidance, we, as a Government, will continue to work tirelessly towards the betterment of our community. It is through our collective faith and unity that we can build a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
May we embrace our weaknesses, allowing God’s strength to manifest in our lives, and may we support one another with compassion and humility, creating a ripple effect of positivity and progress.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called for the immediate release of popular TikToker, Olumide Ogunsanwo aka ‘SeaKing’, who was re-arrested on Thursday, February 6, for allegedly cyberbullying him.
While preaching at a programme in his church on Friday, February 7, the cleric said he has nothing to do with the arrest of the TikToker. He said some persons who were annoyed by SeaKing’s defamatory remarks against him took matters into their hands.
“I heard that there was someone who lambasted me thoroughly. What is my offense? Because I asked my people to fast for 100 days. I didn’t ask him oh! I didn’t even ask anybody who isn’t a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God to fast. Only my children! God said that it would happen.
I was told that some people got angry and went to arrest the fellow. Release him. He is fulfilling prophecy”he said
Media personality and Activist, Omoyele Sowore had on Friday disclosed that Seaking was arrested over a petition written against him by one Paul James Adama for allegedly cyberbullying against Pastor Adeboye.

Pastor Adeboye: Christian group claims responsibility for arrest of popular TikToker, Seaking

The Concerned Christian Youth Forum, CCYF, has claimed responsibility for the arrest of popular TikToker Ogunsanwo Olumide John, also known as Seaking, for allegedly insulting the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor E.A. Adeboye.
Ekwutosblog reports that Ogunsanwo was picked up by officials of the Nigeria Police in Lagos and moved to the Federal Investigation Department (FID) in Abuja under DIG Dasuki Galandanchi for alleged cyberbullying.
The content creator had, in a viral video on TikTok, branded Pastor Adeboye as “very stupid and foolish” for subjecting his congregation to a 100-day fast.
According to Adama, targeting such a prominent and respected figure like Pastor Adeboye serves as a stark reminder of the growing menace of cyber harassment and the urgent need to address it before it spirals out of control.
He said, “This act of brazen cyber harassment is not only reprehensible but also strikes at the heart of our cultural norms and values. It undermines the crucial principle of respect for elders that is so deeply embedded in our society and threatens to erode the very foundations of our moral framework.
“The current social media landscape has exposed a disturbing trend among the younger generation, where they are brazenly attacking and insulting respected Christian leaders with impunity, all in the name of content creation. This phenomenon of moral degeneration is now endemic in our society, reaching unprecedented levels that challenge the very fabric of our values.
“Christian leaders and all elders in our society deserve to be treated with the utmost respect, as they represent the wisdom, experience, and cultural legacy of our nation. The erosion of this fundamental principle of respect for elders is a worrisome development that must be addressed with urgency.
“This is to inform the general public that the said Ogunsanwo Olumide John has been arrested and will be charged to court for his unprovoked, distasteful, and disrespectful insult directed at the revered Christian leader, Papa E.A. Adeboye, on the social media platform TikTok.
“The Concerned Christian Youth Forum is behind his arrest. Let me reiterate that as concerned Christian youths, we will no longer fold our hands and watch such reprehensible behaviors, especially those targeting highly esteemed and prominent figures like genuine leaders of the Christian faith. Such attacks will no longer be tolerated or condoned in our nation.
“Ogunsanwo Olumide John’s insult constituted a grave violation of the Nigerian cybercrime law, specifically Section 24 of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act 2024, as amended, which criminalizes cyber harassment, making it punishable by imprisonment.”
Also reacting, former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore confirmed that Ogunsanwo has been arrested and is in police custody.
