  The conflict between Iran and Israel has intensified dramatically, sending shockwaves across the Middle East and raising fears of a wider regional war. Over the past days, both sides have exchanged missile strikes, drone attacks, and large-scale air raids, with military operations expanding beyond their borders.  The latest escalation began after a major joint U.S.–Israeli military operation launched on February 28, 2026, targeting key Iranian military and intelligence sites in Tehran and other cities. The campaign, reportedly aimed at weakening Iran’s military capabilities and missile systems, triggered swift retaliation from Tehran.  In response, Iran launched waves of ballistic missiles and drones toward Israeli territory and allied targets across the Middle East. Some projectiles struck populated areas, causing casualties and damage, while others were intercepted by air-defense systems. � Iran has also targeted regional infrastructure and military installations, exp...

  Welcome to Voice of Faith Daily, where the Word of God awakens faith, strengthens hearts, and guides our daily walk with the Lord. Today we are reflecting on a powerful truth that every believer must understand: Faith begins with hearing God’s Word. Faith does not grow from human opinion, emotions, or circumstances. True faith begins when a person hears the Word of God and allows that Word to settle deeply in the heart. The Bible clearly teaches us the source of faith: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” — Romans 10:17 If faith is weak, the solution is not trying harder; the solution is hearing more of God’s Word. God’s Word is the seed that produces faith in the heart of a believer. 1. GOD’S WORD IS THE FOUNDATION OF FAITH Faith must stand on something solid, and that foundation is the Word of God. Without the Word, faith has no anchor. It becomes mere wishful thinking or human optimism. But when faith is rooted in God’s Word, it becomes strong and ...

  By Ukeme Ben  Welcome to Voice of Faith Daily, where the Word of God builds our faith and strengthens our walk with Him. Today we are looking at a powerful truth: The Faith That Believes God’s Promise. Faith is not just believing that God exists. Trufaith believes what God has spoken and trusts that His promises will surely come to pass. The Word of God reminds us that every promise of God is faithful, reliable, and powerful. 1. Faith Begins With Trusting God’s Word True faith begins when we accept that God’s Word is trustworthy. God cannot lie. When He makes a promise, He has already committed Himself to fulfilling it. Faith rests on the confidence that what God says is true, even before we see the evidence. Scripture Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and shall He not do it?" When we trust God's Word, our faith becomes strong. Prayer Point Father, help me to trust Your Word completely. Remov...

The Nigeria’s tax system is in for a significant overhaul thanks to the sweeping reform proposals put forth by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. These reforms are designed to enhance government revenue, simplify the tax framework, and ease the financial load on low-income earners — but they’ve also ignited discussions among businesses and the public.  Here are the essential points every Nigerian should be aware of. 1. The Reform Aims to Increase Government Revenue At the core of this new tax reform is the federal government’s goal to boost revenue generation without leaning too much on borrowing.  Nigeria has faced challenges with a low tax-to-GDP ratio compared to other nations. The reform intends to: - Broaden the tax base - Plug revenue leakages - Enhance compliance - Decrease reliance on oil revenue Officials are optimistic that a more efficient tax system will provide the government with additional funds for infrastructure, healthcare, and education. However, critics are conce...

   The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission on Monday disclosed details of documents and electronic devices allegedly recovered from the Abuja residence of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai. The anti-graft agency made the disclosures in court filings before the Federal Capital Territory High Court, opposing a N1bn fundamental rights enforcement suit filed by the former governor. El-Rufai had challenged what he described as his illegal arrest, detention, and the search of his residence last month. In the court filings, the ICPC urged the court to dismiss the suit, insisting its operatives acted under a valid search warrant issued on February 18 and executed on February 19 between 1:37pm and 3:56pm at 12 Mambilla Street, Asokoro, Abuja. The commission said its officials were accompanied by personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, and that the exercise was witnessed by El-Rufai’s wife, Hadiza El-Rufai, and his son, Mohammed El-Rufai.
