The Great Assignment

Image
Before the ascension of Jesus Christ,  he gave his disciples an assignment to reach out to the whole world, by telling about what he has done for mankind. What his death stood for for everyone who dare to believe in him. He caution them that no one should be left out that all must receive the information of what he has done for mankind so that as many that believe will as well be save just as they were saved. Truly speaking, the disciples heed to the word of Jesus Christ and preach the word to everyone who they come in contact with, hence they travelled from city to city and country to country. Today we are one of the product of the fulfillment of the disciples assignment.  Jesus Christ also told them to teach as many as accepted and believe in his death for mankind.

  DHQ: We Have Defeated Insurgency In Nigeria The defence headquarters (DHQ) says the armed forces have ”checkmated” Boko Haram and their operations in the north-east. Despite claims that the insurgents have been decimated, some parts of the north-eastern region still come under attack. One of the most recent violent attacks by Boko Haram was at Zabarmari in Jere local government area of Borno state where more than 40 farmers were killed. But during an interview with NAN on Monday, John Enenche, coordinator of defence media operations, said the federal government and the military since 2015 had checked the intensity of terrorist activities across the country — particularly in the north-east.
