A Better World Is Near”—Theme of a Special Worldwide Campaign by Jehovah’s Witnesses

LAGOS will be one of the thousands of communities around the globe that will receive a powerful message of hope this November as Jehovah’s Witnesses embark upon a special campaign focusing attention on the Bible’s hope for a better world. The campaign will feature the distribution of a special edition of The Watchtower magazine containing the cover series “A Better World Is Near.”

More than 36 million printed copies of the magazine will be distributed in some 230 languages to communities in 240 lands around the globe. In addition, the digital publication is available on various platforms in nearly 400 languages.

 “There is so much despair and nothing can be as refreshing as a message of hope,” said Olusegun Eroyemi, Nigeria Spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “That is the central theme of Jesus’ gospel. A better world is indeed near.”

The magazine addresses the age-old “doomsday” question, Is this world going to end? The Bible’s comforting answer may surprise many readers. While some religions have predicted an “end of the world,” the magazine reveals the Bible’s clear message: The earth is here forever and will never end! However, the magazine explains that the Bible promises an end to injustice by quoting from the book of Psalms where it states that eventually wicked people will no longer plague the earth.—Psalm 37:10.

This positive message has been the hope of millions around the world who have prayed for God’s Kingdom to come. Forty-three year old Ngozi Ossai who felt life was worthless now says “Isaiah 53:5.6 has given me a reason to live. I have inner joy because I no longer see my physical disability as a hindrance to enjoying a meaningful life.”

The Watchtower has been carrying the message about God’s Kingdom for more than 100 years and remains the most widely translated and circulated magazine in the world. The Watchtower is available for download, free online at jw.org. Or request a free printed copy from one of Jehovah’s Witnesses by visiting jw.org and navigating to “Request a Visit.”

Grace Nation: Birth of Jesus Christ a Testament to Supernatural Power – Dr. Chris Okafor

“No man was involved in the birth of Jesus Christ,” says Dr. Okafor.

 

God’s faithfulness over humanity is evident in the gift of life and the countless blessings He bestows upon us. Therefore, celebrating Jesus Christ, the reason for the season, is both an obligation and a privilege, says Dr. Chris Okafor, Senior Pastor of Grace Nation International, also known as Liberation City.

Speaking during the Divine Intervention and Breakthrough Service held at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Dr. Okafor emphasized the profound meaning and significance of Christmas. In his teaching on the theme “The Power and Essence of Christmas,” the renowned preacher urged believers not to lose sight of the true essence of the season amidst celebrations.

Dr. Okafor highlighted two monumental events in Christian history where God demonstrated His unparalleled power. First, the birth of Jesus Christ—a miraculous conception involving no human intervention. He described this as an extraordinary act of supernatural power.

Second, he spoke of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, noting it as another profound manifestation of divine power. “There is no place in the Scriptures where God displayed such power as He did during the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ,” Dr. Okafor remarked.

He further elaborated, “The birth of Jesus Christ is a testimony to supernatural power and divine intervention. This is why we must celebrate and honor this remarkable event, reflecting on the love and mercy that God has shown to humanity.”

A Time of Reflection and Miracles

The service featured a reading of the Nine Lessons of Christmas and a heartfelt rendition of carols by the Great Liberation Voice choir. It was a moment of deep reflection, as the congregation expressed gratitude for God’s unending grace and mercy that have sustained Grace Nation’s global community.

In the spirit of the season, the service was also marked by testimonies of deliverance and miracles. Attendees witnessed evil projections dissolving instantly, the destruction of altars holding people’s inheritances, and the release of miracle babies to expectant mothers.

Prophetic Declarations for the Future

Dr. Okafor concluded the service with fatherly blessings and declarations for the coming year. He assured Grace Nation members worldwide that 2025 would be a year of divine rewards for those who serve God faithfully and truthfully. “The year ahead will surpass expectations, bringing greater blessings in all aspects of life,” he declared.
