righteousness “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any
people” (Prov. 14:34). See also: Ps. 34:15; Ps. 89:14.

his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their
teachers of the law” (Matt. 7:28-29). See also: Deut. 4:9; Prov. 10:14.

disappointed the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their
enterprise.

against all hidden agendas, and that any attempts to deliberately orchestrate
violence between the religious communities of Nigeria would come to
nothing.

skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of crafts” (Ex.35:30). See also: Is.

the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for
Abraham what he has promised him.” (Genesis 18:19). See also: Deut. 11:19; Eph.

those who are captives of the enemy to be delivered (Isaiah 49:24-25). “Repent,
then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of
