(Worthy News) – As the Islamic jihadist slaughter of Christians in Nigeria’s Middle Belt continues unabated and with impunity, suspected Fulani terrorists murdered five more Christians in Benue state on Jan. 18, just days after 10 Christians were murdered in the state on Jan. 7, Morning Star News (MSN) reports.

While the Biden administration has refused to heed repeated requests by the US International Commission on Religious to sanction Nigeria and list it as a Country of Particular Concern, Nigeria ranks 6th on the US Open Doors World Watch List 2024 of the top 50 countries where Christians are persecuted.

Rights groups, including the USICRF, have long warned of genocide as Islamic terrorists, including Boko Haram, Islamic State, and radicalized Fulani herdsmen, have slaughtered around 60,000 Christians in Nigeria since 2009.

On Jan. 18, Fulani terrorists attacked Okokolo village in Agatu County, Benue state, after carrying out raids in surrounding villages and driving displaced Christians to seek shelter there. “Okokolo was not the safe haven the people thought it was, as the herdsmen invaded Okokolo community and attacked the people there on Thursday, 18 January,” the chairman of the Agatu Local Government Council, Yakubu Ochepo, told MSN. Five Christians were murdered in that attack, and others were abducted and taken into captivity. Ten Christians had been slaughtered in similar attacks on three villages in Logo County, Benue state, on Jan. 7, MSN said.

“More believers are killed for their faith in Nigeria each year, than everywhere else in the world combined,” the Open Doors international Christian advocacy organization reports on its website. “The attacks are often brutal in nature and can involve destruction of properties, abductions for ransom, sexual violence and death…The government’s failure to protect Christians and punish perpetrators has only strengthened the militants’ influence.”

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
