Many call the FIFA World Cup the greatest event on earth. For the 2026 edition, FIFA is committing a record $871 million to financial distributions and prize money for the 48 qualified teams. While FIFA covers tournament operations and team-related costs, the host governments — Canada, Mexico, and the United States — will spend an estimated $3 billion or more on stadium upgrades, security, transportation, and infrastructure. Yes, huge revenue will be generated. Yet despite all this spending, not everyone is interested in football. I’ve had people ask me which countries are hosting, and here in Africa I’ve noticed many women show little interest in the game. But there is one event coming that  every  person on earth will take part in — living and dead. That event is the return of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Scripture says:  “Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account...

  "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" God asked this when He promised a child to Sarah in her old age ( Genesis 18:14 ) ,and the angel declared it again when He promised a son to the Virgin Mary ( Luke 1:37 ) .  This reveals two truths: God can bless and make you fruitful even when everyone has written you off — like Sarah.  He can also bless and make you fruitful when people, nature, and even you yourself don’t believe in His timing — when you feel unqualified, like Mary.  Both miracles happened through one thing:  His favor and His Spirit , not human effort. So let me ask you: Is there a prophecy over your life that seems delayed?  A task or project that feels too huge?  A dream you’ve buried because of your current situation?   I challenge you to believe and trust in the Lord,  for with Him nothing shall be impossible . The One who spoke the heavens and earth into being in six days — what could He  not  do in your life?  Yo...

  A young man lay on his sickbed, nearing the end of his life. With what little strength he had left, he asked his father for a pen and paper. His hand trembled as he wrote—his letters unsteady, like that of a child just learning to write. Yet the message he left behind was powerful:  “JESUS IS REAL.” Moments later, he passed away with a smile on his face. His father testified that the entire room was suddenly filled with an indescribable light. This story brings to mind the three young Hebrew men in Scripture—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3:1–30). When commanded to bow before the king’s image, they refused. Their response in Daniel 3:16–18 remains a profound declaration of faith: “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. But even if He doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you that we will never serve your gods ...

  Papaoutai (French for "Dad, where are you") is a hit song by Stromae , who grew up without his father who was killed in the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Without a father figure to guide him, he had to assume the role of father by himself.  At some point or another, many of us have asked this question, possibly referring to our earthly father or the Father in heaven, who is God Almighty. The scripture tells us about Gideon in Judges 6:12-13 ‘The angel of the Lord appeared to him and said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!” “Sir,” Gideon replied, “if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where are all the miracles our ancestors told us about? Didn’t they say, ‘The Lord brought us up out of Egypt’? But now the Lord has abandoned us and handed us over to the Midianites.”. Like Gideon, we may sometimes doubt the existence of God or His mighty power, particularly if we are in a struggle to perform what we believe He is meant to do or if we call on Him and ar...

  Australia's men's 4x400m relay team believed they had earned a spot in the world championship final after setting a new national record of 2:58.00. The team's celebrations were halted soon after when they were disqualified for a wrong changeover. Aidan Murphy 's disqualification was caused by taking Reece Holder 's baton outside the changeover zone. Although Australian. The run had the potential to break a record that had been in existence since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics , which was set by Bruce Frayne , Darren Clark , Gary Minihan , and Rick Mitchell . The scriptures say in 1 Corinthians .9.24 "Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. The scripture says we should 'run in such a way', which means being disciplined and keeping the rules as children of God. For example, you cannot steal to provide for your family just because the Scripture says anyone who doesn...
