Fulani Muslim herdsmen kill Nigerian Christians

On Thursday, September 19th, Fulani Muslim herdsmen in central Nigeria, Africa killed two Christians, reports Morning Star News.

Solomon Sanga, a local resident, said, “Audu Bala and Jonathan Moses were working on their farms when these Fulani herdsmen waylaid them and shot at them. The two died instantly, while another Christian victim, Japheth Yakubu, was kidnapped on September 10 while he was working on his farm.”

In addition, the Fulani Muslim herdsmen murdered three other believers at church services the prior Sunday when they also kidnapped Pastor Yakubu and 30 congregation members. The assailants have phoned the pastor’s family, demanding a ransom of $18,295.

Isaiah 1:17 says, “Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, and plead the widow's cause.”

Please pray for  Pastor Yakubu’s safe return as well as the other congregation members and that these Muslim murderers will be brought to justice, repent of their sin, and trust Jesus Christ as their Savior.

16 Hezbollah terrorists killed

After Israeli attacks on Hezbollah quarters in Lebanon over the weekend, the terrorist organization now reports 16 of its members were killed. Among the dead were senior Hezbollah leader Ibrahim Aqil and another top commander, Ahmed Wahb.

Plus, 21 others were reportedly killed in the bombing. Aqil was a suspect in the US embassy and Marine barrack bombings that killed 300 people in 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon.

Commenting on the Israeli attack, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan  said, “Any time a terrorist who has murdered Americans is brought to justice, we believe that that is a good outcome.”

Israel launched 300 missiles Monday against Hezbollah

Israel launched another 300 missiles on Monday at a Hezbollah target in Lebanon.

They simultaneously issued text messages in Arabic, urging residents of the area to “move away from the village.” The full context declared, ”If you are in a building housing weapons for Hezbollah, move away from the village until further notice,” reports the Associated Press. 

The death toll from Monday’s attack was 182 persons, at last report. 

Iran’s growing nuclear threat

Iran has 165 kilograms of 60% Uranium and 813 kilograms of 20% Uranium, according to the latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The nuclear project is increasing Iran’s store of highly-enriched Uranium at a rate of 100 kilograms per year.

To put this into perspective, the nuclear bomb that America dropped on Hiroshima, Japan in August 1945 contained about 50 kilograms of highly-enriched Uranium.

The report is only an estimate since Iran has discontinued international monitoring three and a half years ago. 

1,000 West Africans drowned in flooding

Severe flooding has impacted western Africa, especially the nations of Chad, Nigeria, Mali, and Niger, reports CBS News.

At least 1,000 people have drowned in the deluges. Bridges and dams have collapsed. Public buildings and homes have been demolished by the waters. Dangerous flash floods occurring in the night have caught elderly people and those with disabilities unawares, resulting in the loss of life. Around 4,000,000 Africans have been affected — many of whom have been displaced.

Borno State Museum Park estimates losing 80% of their animals.

Oprah’s endorsement of Kamala Harris in Michigan

As The Worldview reported on Monday, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris sat down for a tightly scripted conversation with Oprah Winfrey in Michigan last Thursday.

Sky News Australia called it a Cringe-fest.

SKY NEWS NARRATOR: “Kamala Harris's interview with Oprah Winfrey went exactly as you would have expected. Commentators across the globe are mocking the interview, calling it a ‘cringe fest,’ and slamming its pathetic attempt to mask democratic propaganda as a hard-hitting interview.”

Oprah and Kamala were surrounded by liberal Hollywood actresses like Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, who joined by Zoom, and predictably parroted Democratic talking points and fawned over the Vice President.

At the very end of the virtual infomercial, Oprah enthusiastically endorsed Kamala for President.

Listen.

WINFREY: “This is the moment for all decent people, all caring people who want the best for yourself and you want the best for other people. This is the moment for people who are tired of all of the bickering and all of the name calling, people who are exhausted by the craziness and the made up stories and the conspiracies.

“This is the moment you want to get on with your life, because you know that we can do better and that we deserve better. As my friend and mentor Maya Angelou always said, ‘When you know better, you got to do better.’ Thank you. So, let's do better and vote for Kamala Harris.”

Poll: Trump edging out Harris in 4 battleground states

Pollsters expect the US presidential election this November to be close, most likely coming down to seven battleground states.

Recent Emerson College Polling and The Hill found Trump edging out Harris in Arizona (49% to 48%); Georgia (50% to 47%); Pennsylvania (48% to 47%); and Wisconsin (49% to 48%.) 

The polling discovered Harris leading Trump in Michigan (49% to 47%) and North Carolina (49% to 48%). The candidates were tied at 48% in Nevada.   

Whether it be the voters or the president of the United States, remember, “The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord. Like the rivers of water, He turns it wherever He wishes.” (Proverbs 21:1)
