The FIFA World Cup final is a truly global event and will be one of the most-watched sporting events across the world when Argentina and France face off for glory in Qatar. The timing this year will be unusual, as the final will be staged during the run-up to the December holiday season. In fact, it also falls on a national holiday in Qatar, which will add to the spotlight on the competition.

Destroy the messenger so his message would be disregarded. What started like a local event on Thursday, June 2, 2022 in Abeokuta that has greatly animated the public is gaining momentum even the effects of “ÈMÌLÓKÀN” is evidently noticeable in the global arena. Lionel Messi! We saw glimpses of peak Messi. He’s done it for years and years. Messi don talk say “ÈMÌLÓKÀN”

IT IS MY TURN – “ÈMÌLÓKÀN” REMEMBER ME, O LORD – It’s my turn! Weeping may endure for the night but Joy comes in the morning. We may have all felt at times like we have been overlooked, and underestimated, and at times completely ignored, But The Holy Ghost says It’s your turn now. Somebody said: when is it going to be my turn? The line is so long and I’m so far back I don’t know if I’ll ever reach the place of blessing, the place of promotion, the place of breakthrough, the place of miracles.

“ÈMÌLÓKÀN” “For he remembered His holy promise! and Abraham his servant” (Psalm 105:42). “He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; and confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant. Saying, unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance” (Psalm 105:8-11). unto us Nigerians will the Lord wrought special miracle in 2023. Join me in singing AMAZING GRACE:

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Our trials will then seem light and momentary afflictions. Let us go on boldly; if the night be never so dark, the morning cometh, which is more than they can say who are shut up in the darkness of hell. Do you know what it is thus to live on the future–to live on expectation–to antedate heaven? Happy believer, to have so sure, so comforting a hope. It may be all dark now, but it will soon be light; it may be all trial now, but it will soon be all happiness. What matters it though “weeping may endure for a night,” when “joy cometh in the morning?” Nigerians rejoice! ‘Renewed Hope’ “ÈMÌLÓKÀN”: Àpèmóra la n’pe tèmídire our hope is renewed 2023.
