Dr D.K Olukoya, the General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, is known for his unquestionable love for music, and this has seen him commit resources, time and energy to the discovery, development and refining of musical talents, thereby, enabling such talents to attain world-class standard.

A man who has created such an inspiring environment by being a mentor, has also made unreserved financial commitments, by providing such talents with opportunities for further development through music studies. Interestingly, he himself is also a musician, who has several musical compositions to his name as well as a massive collection of negro spiritual songs. This love and passion for great music led to his unreserved support for the ‘Shalom Chorale’ – a gospel choir group in MFM United Kingdom.

Dr D.K Olukoya’s commitment was rewarded this beautiful Sunday 25th November 2018, when the Shalom Chorale brought home glory to the gospel genre, and the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries church at large, as they emerged winners of the BBC Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of The Year 2018 competition in the United Kingdom. This competition is highly recognised not just in the UK, but in the world wide gospel music scene.

 The annual event organized by the British Broadcasting Commission (BBC) Songs of Praise, had several choirs from around Great Britain enter in, but only 5 were selected as finalists, but only one could emerge as the winner. And that position was awarded to the Shalom Chorale during the final episode on 25th November which was aired on BBC One.

The Shalom Chorale is a group of singers with a passion for music and faith in God. In times like these, when news of violence and rumours of war seem to dominate the world, they feel there is a need for peace, hence their name ‘Shalom Chorale’.

Their members come from different geographic regions in the UK, with the majority based in London, and others in Milton Keynes, Leeds and even Durham! They are a bunch of talented individuals who cherish singing to the glory of God, whenever and wherever they can. Simply put, as they described, their mission is to share the message of peace and love through godly music.

They expressed how blessed they feel to enjoy the unlimited support of the MFM church community and its founder (General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries church) Dr D.K. Olukoya who has been a source of blessing, mentorship and immense support to them.
Their passion, efforts and breath-taking performances didn’t go unnoticed, as they got the world’s attention and were selected to compete as one of the top 5 choirs for the BBC Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of the Year 2018 competition in the United Kingdom. At the first stage of the finals, the delectable choir sang to the amazement of the audience who couldn’t help but give a standing ovation to that effect, the judges: award-winning choir director Gareth Malone, gospel choir leader Karen Gibson and actor and singer Shaun Escoffery, were not left out as they gushed over the choir. The choir then proceeded to the final stage of the competition, where they were announced winners!

Dr D.K Olukoya expressed his utmost joy, seeing how God has rewarded his labour of love, sacrifice and commitment to the growth of Christian music in Nigeria and around the world. He rejoices with the music director of the Shalom Chorale and its entire members. He also reassures them of his unending support and love for the group while restating his commitment and efforts towards ensuring that gospel music attains greater recognition all over the world.

 Controversial Nigerian OAP, Daddy Freeze, is well known for his consistent criticisms of the doings of church leaders, is making some insinuations about Covenant University and the founder of the institution, Bishop David Oyedepo, being a member of the Illuminati. 

The leader and founder of the  Free The Sheeple movement shared a photo collage showing a number of powerful people posing with their hands steepled in the shape of a triangle. Bishop Oyedepo, Donald Trump, Michelle Obama, Angela Merkel, Michelle Obama, Steve Harvey, were all in the photo collage with the same hand gesture.

 However, Freeze made no direct accusations but made an insinuation, leaving it open for his followers to interpret as they wish. A number of followers interpreted it to mean that he’s accusing them of throwing up the Illuminati sign. But some pointed out to Freeze that the gesture could also be a pose to show confidence.

 He went on the share another photo showing the aerial view of Bishop Oyedepo’s school, Covenant University. The spot on which the institution stands was circled with a red marker to show the school designed in the form of the Star of David, a symbol of Judaism.

 "God vs. Satan - if God is all-powerful, why does He not just kill Satan?"

Another report by a United Nations organization features the ascent of fatherless births far and wide. As Joseph Chamie, a previous chief of the United Nations Population Division, watches, 

Different gatherings and associations, including numerous religious foundations, have communicated genuine worries with some squeezing for prohibitive strategies to the developing occurrence and acknowledgment of fatherless births. They consider the decoupling of sexual relations and reproduction from marriage as a significant issue undermining the organization of marriage, the centrality of the family to childrearing and the general security and prosperity of society. 

Here are nine things you should think about the worldwide issue of fatherless births:
1. Out-of-wedlock childbirth refers to an infant given birth to guardians who aren't married. Of the world's 140 million births that occurred in 2016, around 15 percent (21 million) were born out of wedlock. This worldwide normal, in any case, does not mirror the colossal variety in the extent of births outside of marriage crosswise over nations and areas.

2. Out-of-wedlock childbirths have turned out to be more typical worldwide since the 1960s. In 1964 most nations in the Organization of Economic and Co-agent Development (OECD) had close to 10 percent of their births outside of marriage. Be that as it may, since 1970, the extent of youngsters conceived outside marriage has expanded by somewhere around 25 rate focuses in most OECD nations. In 2014, all things considered crosswise over OECD nations, under 40 percent of births happen outside of marriage.

3. In ten OECD nations—Belgium, Chile, Costa Rica, Denmark, Iceland, Estonia, France, Mexico, Norway, Slovenia, and Sweden—in excess of 50 percent of kids are conceived outside of marriage. In Chile, Costa Rica, and Iceland, the rate is as high as around 66% of births (i.e., in excess of 70 percent). In just five OECD nations—Greece, Israel, Japan, Korea and Turkey—are under 10 percent of youngsters resulting from wedlock, with rates especially low (at around 2 percent to 3 percent) in Japan, Korea, and Turkey.

4. Similarly as there is wide variety among nations, there is wide variety inside nations. For instance, while the national average for the United States in 2014 was 40 percent, the extents of births with only one parent present for whites was 29 percent; Hispanics, 53 percent; and African Americans, 71 percent. The extents of such births for every one of these gatherings were generously lower 50 years back. (In 1965, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, at that point a best Labor Department official and later a U.S. representative from New York, cautioned of a "tangle of pathology" that was coming about because of the quantity of dark youngsters—25 percent—that were being conceived without any father present.)

5. In the West, numerous fatherless births are to cohabitating couples as opposed to single parents. Around 2010, 1 of every 10 European youngsters up to the age of 2 lived with a single parent, contrasted and 4 of 10 kids who lived with a couple that was not hitched. While the normal OECD extent of youngsters living with two hitched guardians declined from 72 percent to 67 percent somewhere in the range of 2005 and 2014, the extent living with living together guardians expanded from 10 percent to 15 percent over that decade. The most elevated extents are seen in five nations—Estonia, France, Iceland, Slovenia and Sweden—where one-fourth of the kids are living with living together guardians. (In Austria, Canada, Denmark, Hungary, the United Kingdom, and the United States, more than one-fifth of the kids live with a sole parent, which generously surpasses the extent of youngsters with living together guardians.)

6. The extents of kids living in single-parent family units differ significantly crosswise over nations. At the most minimal dimensions—where 10 percent or less of the kids live in single-parent families—are nations, for example, China, India, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey. Elevated amounts of single-parent families are found in Latin American and African nations where near 40 percent of the youngsters live with moms just, and around 4 percent live with dads as it were. Different nations with large amounts of youngsters in sole-parent families incorporate Mozambique, 36 percent; Dominican Republic, 35 percent; Liberia, 31 percent; and Kenya, 30 percent.

7. The move toward wrongness is having a negative effect on kids. As per a report created by analysts from Columbia and Princeton Universities, kids destined to unmarried guardians don't toll and also youngsters destined to wedded guardians. The examination discovered that youngsters destined to unmarried guardians are burdened with respect to kids destined to wedded guardians as far as parental abilities and family soundness. Moreover, guardians' conjugal status at the season of a youngster's introduction to the world is a "decent indicator of longer-term family security and multifaceted nature, the two of which impact kids' more extended term prosperity."

8. The Columbia and Princeton report discovered that father inclusion decays after some time for fatherless births. By age 5, just 50 percent of non-inhabitant fathers have seen their youngster in the previous month. While formal tyke bolster from non-inhabitant fathers increments after some time, casual money bolster and in-kind help, (for example, purchasing toys or garments) decreases. As indicated by the National Fatherhood Initiative, kids who live without their natural dads and are, by and large, something like a few times more prone to be poor; to utilize drugs,;to encounter instructive, wellbeing, enthusiastic, and social issues; to be casualties of tyke misuse; and to take part in criminal conduct, than their companions who live with their wedded, organic (or assenting) guardians. Conversely, youngsters with included, cherishing fathers are essentially more inclined to do well in school, have sound confidence, stay away from high-hazard practices, and display compassion and ace social conduct.

9. What should Christians do on the off chance that they have a kid with only one parent present? The initial step it to look for, if fundamental, God's absolution for having sexual relations outside the obligations of marriage. As John Piper says, "sexual relations have a place just in the sheltered, blessed, lovely asylum of a marriage agreement between exclusive, one lady, while they both live. In this way, the nearness of a tyke in the belly outside marriage is either the aftereffect of being trespassed against in assault or the consequence of erring." (Piper likewise includes, "it is vital that each Christian and each congregation clarify that any disgrace to pregnancy outside marriage is on the grounds that the pregnancy implies past transgression, not on account of the pregnancy is sin.") Second, the couple should quit living together and, if conceivable, get hitched—regardless of whether one accomplice is an unbeliever. As Russell Moore says,

Indeed, even in atonement, you can't just "proceed onward." You are presently, and perpetually will be, the dad of her kid. She is the mother of your child You had an obligation not to entrap yourself with an unbeliever. You had a commitment not to disregard God's order for sexual virtue outside of marriage. In any case, you have done these things and you can't turn back time. Your solitary inquiry presently is whether, notwithstanding being a fornicator, you will likewise be a vagrant producer. . . .

The Scripture likewise reveals to us we are to provide for everybody what is expected (Rom. 13:7). What is because of the lady you have impregnated and the youngster you have imagined? The appropriate response, I accept, is the thing that our Father God models for us: arrangement, security, and contract unwaveringness. A tyke is intended to have two guardians, a mother and a dad (Gen. 1-2). Love this lady, and love this tyke.

Third, if marriage is anything but a practical alternative (e.g., one accomplice declines to get hitched), the two guardians have a commitment to help the tyke. As Paul lets us know, one who does not "accommodate his relatives, and particularly for individuals from his family unit" has "denied the confidence and is more awful than an unbeliever" (1 Tim. 5:8).

Pope Francis on Sunday prayed for peace in the war-ravaged Central African Republic, where two priests were killed in ethnic unrest last week.
