“We are not postponing elections” – INEC

INEC Cancels Election In Kogi

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has debunked reports that the body was planning to postpone Saturday’s elections.

Presidential and National Assembly elections are scheduled to hold in few hours.

National Commissioner for Voter Education and Publicity at INEC, Mr. Festus Okoye, told DAILY POST Friday night that Nigerians should ignore the rumours.

His words: “If stories are flying about, allow the stories to fly. What they are reporting is not true.”

Asked to respond to information that INEC commissioners were in a meeting, Okoye said: “Yes we are in a meeting but we have not taken such decision.

“This is election period and as commissioners, we meet every time”.

Meanwhile, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said his camp had foiled a plan to rig the polls in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari.

However, the recent development of INEC offices being set ablaze in Abia, Anambra, and Plateau states by ‘mysterious fire’, where thousands of electoral materials were burnt, could be major threat to the election.

Also, earlier on Friday, the commission in Niger State announced that elections for the senatorial positions of Niger East and Niger North may not hold on Saturday as the ballot papers meant for the zone were missing.

Breaking Free from Curses: A Prophetic Exposé by Prophet Joshua Iginla in South Africa

Breaking Free from Curses: A Prophetic Exposé by Prophet Joshua Iginla in South Africa

At the heart of the Harvest of Miracle Conference (Day 3) held in South Africa, Prophet Joshua Iginla delivered a stirring and spiritually electrifying sermon titled “How to Break Out of Curses.” The prophetic encounter was not just a sermon—it was a divine unveiling of keys to personal liberation from long-standing ancestral, parental, and self-inflicted curses. With biblical precision and revelatory depth, Prophet Iginla laid out spiritual principles to break the chains of bondage and restore destinies.
Below is a deep dive into the central truths he delivered:
1. Apply the Hammer of the Word of God
Key Scripture: Hebrews 4:12; John 1:1-4
Prophet Iginla began by emphasizing the irreplaceable role of God’s Word as a weapon of liberation. Quoting Hebrews 4:12, he described the Word as a living and powerful sword—a divine hammer capable of smashing generational curses into irrelevance. According to him, the Word is not passive; it actively pierces, dissects, and reconstructs destinies.
“The Word of God is God Himself translated into language. You can’t carry the life of God and be subdued by curses,” he declared.
He challenged believers to incubate themselves in the Word until the Word becomes flesh in their lives (John 1:1–4). Whether the curse was deserved or unjust, the Word—if engaged properly—will hammer it into pieces.
Takeaway: To break out of curses, soak your life daily in the Scriptures. Recite it, meditate on it, declare it—let the Word do spiritual surgery.
 2. Engage the Force of Prayer
Key Scripture: Luke 18:1
Prophet Iginla likened prayer to spiritual artillery that disarms curses operating in secrecy or in public. Curses thrive in silence; prayer destroys their breeding ground.
“You can’t pray and remain cursed. A man of prayer is a man of power,” he said.
He reminded the audience of Jesus’ parable on the necessity of continual prayer (Luke 18:1), underscoring that persistent, violent, faith-driven prayer dismantles spiritual verdicts issued against a person’s lineage.
Takeaway: Don’t just pray occasionally—make prayer a lifestyle. Curses retreat when a person dwells in the atmosphere of divine communication.

 3. Walk in Forgiveness
Key Scripture: Matthew 6:14–15
One of the most heartfelt moments in the message came as Prophet Iginla addressed the poison of unforgiveness. Whether you are seeking forgiveness or granting it, bitterness is a spiritual magnet for curses.
“Forgiveness is not just for them; it’s your jailbreak,” he warned.
He explained that unforgiveness delays divine intervention. When you forgive, you align with God’s mercy—activating divine pardon and freedom from curse-based consequences.
Takeaway: Forgive swiftly. Harboring offense is like nurturing your own prison. Mercy flows where forgiveness is present.
4. Understand and Undo Parental Curses
Key Scripture: Ephesians 6:2–4
Moving into deeper waters, Prophet Iginla highlighted that parental curses—especially those spoken by biological or spiritual parents—are some of the most potent and dangerous forms of curses.
“A prophet can pray for you, but if your parent cursed you, go back and make peace,” he admonished.
He addressed children who have turned against their parents due to offenses, urging them to seek reconciliation. According to him, honor unlocks destiny, and dishonor invites spiritual blockage. Even imperfect parents deserve respect—not necessarily because of their actions, but because of their divine position.
Takeaway: Don’t trade your future for the satisfaction of revenge. Reconcile with your parents. That act alone may cancel years of spiritual delay.
Avoid Being a Curse to Yourself
Not all curses come from external forces—some are self-inflicted, Prophet Iginla revealed. People who engage in destructive behaviors, dishonor their spiritual lineage, or handle their lives carelessly often curse themselves unknowingly.
 “When you disconnect from those assigned to help your destiny, you plug into frustration,” he stated.
He warned spiritual sons and daughters to never dishonor their spiritual covering, as doing so cuts them off from prophetic blessings. Likewise, believers who self-sabotage through sin, fear, and laziness must repent and align themselves with divine purpose.
Takeaway: Examine yourself. Are you living in a way that invites curses? Shift today.
As he concluded, Prophet Joshua Iginla released a thunderous prayer:
 “I break to pieces every chain of curses released to tie and frustrate your destiny. Any blanket of curses covering your future is removed. In Jesus’ mighty name!”
The atmosphere was charged, and many in the auditorium experienced instant breakthroughs, with testimonies of curses being broken and destinies realigned.
Final Thoughts
Curses are real, but they are not permanent. In this powerful session, Prophet Joshua Iginla made it clear: You don’t break curses through emotion or logic—you break them through divine strategy. Engage the Word, persist in prayer, walk in forgiveness, honor your roots, and live wisely.
The chains will break. The curse will be reversed. And your life will reflect the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow.
