There are only two churches the scripture recognizes: The local church (Matthew 18:20), and the Universal church (Matthew 16:18), every other church is for administrative convenience of man. The local church is the plan of God to win the world unto Himself and Jesus will surely come back to rapture glorious, healthy local churches, within and without. (Ephesians 5:26-27) However, the devil doesn’t like any local church. He hates every gathering of the saints with passion and will do everything in his arsenal to corrupt her from within. Job 1:5 do confirm that Satan and his cohorts do come to gathering of children of God. As a master thief, John 10:10a, Satan is adept in stealing things and is therefore working assi-duously to remove these funda-mentals form every careless local church. Mind you, these pillars are what uphold and should undergird any biblical local church anywhere in the world, but the devil is hell bent in stylishly removing them, though many church leaders are unaware of this evil and mali-cious plan of Satan. Your church name, location, policy, size, structure or wealth doesn’t matter to him, he just want to remove or corrupt these five fundamentals, so that he can destroy the church ultimately. 1. The Bible- or the corrupt version of it. He loves to replace the Bible with other books like 6&7 Books of Moses, lost book of Eden and human philosophies. Whole, undiluted, balance and practical truth of the Bible he doesn’t want on any church altar. He has therefore corrupted many pulpits. Churches that only do meetings where they pray, sing, dance, entertain and pro-phesy without teaching the whole bible are falling into Satan trap big time. 2. That’s why biblical ignorance is very high in most churches and deceptive doctrines are very rife. 3. Lordship of Christ. Satan doesn’t want the rule and reign of Christ in His church, rather he wants to be worshipped. That’s why many preachers no longer preach Jesus, careful to mention the name of Jesus because of political correctness. Modern preachers hate the lifestyle, teachings and practices of Jesus recorded in the gospels for us, and they prefer to do things their own way, because Jesus ways are too tough for them. 4. Holy Spirit - the devil wants the Holy Spirit to be grieved, lied to through sins, disobedience and literal quenching of the Spirit of God and therefore with-draw from the church so that there will be no transformations, miracles, power demonstrat-ions. He replaces the Holy Spirit with his demons, witches and witchcraft manipulations in the church. 5. The Holy Spirit is a great hindrance to the workings of the devil in any church, that’s why lots of ministers and Christ-ian today are no longer bapti-zed in the Holy Spirit and we carry on like that. 6. Genuine Prayers - while the scripture says my house shall be called the house of prayers, yet the devil wants prayers to be no existing in any church. He wants prayers to become a form, ritual, officious, formal, lifeless and powerless. He will use wrong teachings, emphasis and practi-ces to produce unanswered prayers, so that people can be tired and quit praying. 7. Today, there is no more holy fire on the prayer altars of many churches, because the devil has stolen it away. He knew that when the church truly prayers, God will work mightily in their midst. 8. Godly, Competent Pastor - the devil wants to corrupt every pastor. He wants every pastor to be sinful, bad example, ignorant, untrained, incompetent and a fake. In other instances, he wants the deacons and elders to usurp the position of the pastor so that the church will not be properly led. Once a godly and competent pastor is removed from a church, the devil will have free access to work and destroy that fellowship of the saints. Fundamentals are what you cannot do without, and once the devil succeed in removing these five pillars from any local assembly of Believer’s in anyway, he has prevailed over that church. Lots of church leaders may deny and fight this, yet it is the eternal plan and strategy of the devil for each local church. Check your church! Which pillar has the devil removed, or trying to remove?

President Donald Trump departed for hurricane-devastated Puerto Rico Tuesday, hoping to underscore government recovery efforts and repair damage done by his contentious early response to the crisis. Nearly two weeks after Hurricane Maria thrashed through the US territory, much of the islands remains short of food and without access to power or drinking water. Trump, who has feuded with the mayor of San Juan over the pace of the relief effort, claimed before leaving that even his critics were acknowledging "what a great job we have done." "Now the roads are cleared and communication is starting to come back. Their drivers have to start driving trucks. We have to do that, so at a local level they have to give us help," he told reporters. Trump wants to show that the federal government is on top of the daunting recovery effort, and that 3.4 million American citizens are not forgotten. The administration’s critics said the early response was not fast enough or large enough, prompting the pugilistic president to punch back. He berated San Juan’s mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz — who was frequently on TV asking for help — and suggested Puerto Ricans were "ingrates" who "want everything to be done for them." Trump went on to accuse the media of lying about the "great job" he was doing, in a series of excoriating weekend tweets. "Outside of the Fake News or politically motivated ingrates… people are now starting to recognize the amazing work that has been done," he wrote. The White House fired out a series of compliments about the relief effort from political allies to try and drive home the point. It took the unusual step of citing a gushing call between Trump and former Puerto Rican governor Luis Fortuno, who now lives in Washington and works as a lobbyist. Luckily for the White House, few Puerto Ricans had time or — quite literally the energy — to read or hear of the president’s barbed remarks. But Trump’s visit will be carefully choreographed to avoid any embarrassing protests. ‘Very, very bad shape’ The US leader is expected to land at Muniz Air National Guard Base near the capital San Juan. During roughly five hours on ground he and first lady Melania Trump will meet first responders, officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as well as survivors. He is also expected to meet the governor of the US Virgin Islands, which were similarly devastated by Maria, but are not quite ready for the massive footprint of a presidential visit. Already this storm season, Trump has visited damaged areas of Florida, Louisiana and Texas (twice). But his trip to Puerto Rico, normally a fairly routine show of presidential empathy, has taken on outsized political meaning. "It’s been amazing what’s been done in a very short period of time on Puerto Rico," Trump said defending the response. "There’s never been a piece of land that we’ve known that was so devastated," he claimed. "The bridges are down, the telecommunications was nonexistent, and it’s in very, very bad shape. The electrical grid, as you know, was totally destroyed." Though Puerto Ricans are US citizens with US passports, they can only vote in presidential primaries. If they live on the island, they cannot vote in US presidential elections. If they are living on the mainland, they can register to vote including for president, in whichever state they live.

Chairman, Governing Council of Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), Prince Lateef Fagbemi, yesterday tasked the Federal Government to include representatives of Alumni Association in the polytechnic governing council. Fagbemi advocated for the inclusion of Alumni association as members of the governing council at a national workshop organized by YABATECH Alumni Association in commemoration of its 70th anniversary held at National Arts Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos. He described alumni as ambassadors of their institutions and said the role of the body in any institution can not be dispensed with. The senior advocate of Nigeria explained that the course of YABATECH would no doubt be further advanced ‘’if the representatives of the Alumni association are present on the governing council of the institution which I strongly advocate’’. According to him, alumni of any institution is a major stakeholders of the institution and should be involved in knowledge-sharing and intellectual discourse, landmark celebration and other economic and social activities in support of its alma mater. Fagbemi acknowledged the partnership between the management of the college and alumni of YABATECH in several areas such as the construction of Augustus Aikhomu hall, ICT and multipurpose building while noting that the college library and Yusuf Grillo Art Complex were designed by an alumnus of the college, Late architect Lai Balogun. He disclosed that the workshop in commemoration of 70th anniversary of YABATECH is a further testimony of support the institution enjoys from its alumni association. The governing council chairman described the theme of the workshop ‘’Business financing in a growing economy’ as apt, considering the present economic fortunes of the nation. President of YABATECH Alumni Association, Pastor Oluwafemi Martins, said the idea of the workshop is a fall out of the think-tank committee of the national executive council of the body on the nation’s economy as it affects education. Martins used the occasion to advocate for Nigeria to meet UNESCO 26 per cent minimum allocation recommendation for education in every country’s budget stating ‘’For us, it is clear one of the ways to evaluate the premium the nation places on education is from it allocation to educational development.’’ He explained that the body would use the workshop to draw the attention of stakeholders to the need for Alumni of tertiary institutions to come together to critically consider and draw notice of our leaders to lopsided budgetary allocation to the education sector. Said he:‘’ Based on wrong perception of inferiority of polytechnic education in Nigeria, the nation has remained under-developed and likely to remain so for as long as technological education is not given pride of place. ‘’Polytechnic education is not having the real impact on industrial technological development and is yet to seriously help in tackling and reducing unemployment in the nation because those who gain admission thereto are not motivated.’’ In her goodwill message, the outgoing Rector of YABATECH, Dr. Margaret Ladipo, pledged that the college management would continue to partner with the Alumni association for the development of the institution. ‘’The Alumni association and management of the college have journeyed together through the year as partners in progress, with a common goal of promoting the development of YABATECH. We have achieved a lot together for the institution’’, she stated.
