Racial justice and ethnic diversity are seen as laudable aims by most (though not all!) in our society. What difference does following Jesus make to how we think of this, and more than that, how we pursue it? In this seminar, Damilola explores how the wisdom of 1 Corinthians 12 applies to this crucial objective.

Damilola Makinde wraps up The Orchard Conference 2024 by bringing a stirring word about what it looks like to be God's agents in the world and the specific call on women to bring new life into every area of culture, community and life. → Stay Connected Conference 2025Tickets – theorchardwomen.com/2025Instagram – / theorchardwomen Website – https://theorchardwomen.com/

"The throne of authority, power and dominion is not vacant!"

This sermon was preached by Damilola Makinde at CCM Ladybarn on Sunday 16th June 2024 from 2 Kings 5:1-19.

Talk With God - Damilola Makinde - Vineyard 61 Church by Vineyard 61 Church

Many of us have considered loving our neighbours through bringing in their bins while they're away on holiday, but have we also considered loving them through our ballot papers? How do we practice neighbour love and witness to gospel truth in this deeply contested cultural moment? How might a church community proactively engage in local and national political conversations, staying steeped in prayer and courageous in action? In this seminar, we dive into 2 Kings 5 to explore the postures and practices of faithful cultural and political engagement.

"There is a difference between those who only know God in a moment of a manifestation and those who make the glory of the Lord the place of daily habitation".  Damilola Makinde speaks on beholding the glory of the Lord, urging us to be leaders who don't chase after moments of visitation but to be leaders who dwell in the house of the Lord, in the secret place, all the days of our life. She reminds us that our call is not first to lead others but first to be led by the Lord. Recorded live at the Vineyard Leaders' Gathering 2024 in Nottingham.

Dr. Deborah Makinde's story will definitely prove to you that any roadblock can be overcome, to land yourself the residency position of your dreams. Keep listening to find out more! Nigerian-born Dr. Makinde moved to the US as a teenager and attended medical school at St. George's University in Grenada. After her graduation in 2020, She decided to apply to 150 programs for the 2020/2021 match cycle where she scored 4 interviews, but unfortunately, she went unmatched. During the 2020/2021 application period, she highlighted the following roadblocks: She failed the CS exam, but ended up taking the OET exam thereafter. She could not get ECFMG certified until the following year. Dr. Makinde then decided to take a gap year and reapplied in for the 2022 match cycle, scoring her over 11 interviews and a place on a few waitlists. She has since matched and is now about to be a resident in internal medicine. When asked what she changed about her application the second time around, she highlighted the following steps she took: Applied through SOAP. Tried to achieve a preliminary position, but did not get through. Applied to 250 programs instead of her initial 150 though she does not believe that it made a huge difference. Developed an application packet that was better and that had a theme to it. Wrote personalized statements customized to the prospective programs. Wrote Step 3 and passed. Contacted the programs she didn't get into asking for feedback, which she applied during her second application. And so, Dr. Makinde hopes to inspire you, who may be coping with one failure or another to: Let yourself grieve. Never see yourself personally as a failure. Always visualize yourself at a hospital with the career of your dreams. Keep yourself together, though it may be hard. Get involved in the community through volunteering and outreaching. Remember that you are stronger than your problems and your challenges. Trust the process, as this is your waiting period.

When the story of the Western Nigeria Security Network codenamed Amotekun is told, it will be on record that it was officially launched on January 9, 2020. However, the Amotekun journey began earlier. In July 2019, the six states of the southwest, namely Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo States, agreed to set up this outfit.Amotekun is indeed a first of its kind security agency because it is a regional security outfit initiated by one of Nigeria's six geopolitical zones.History will also state that the headquarters is here in Oyo State. Since its founding, we have been taking steps to ensure that the security outfit kicks off operations. In March 2020, the Oyo State House of Assembly passed the Oyo State Security Network Agency Bill 2020, which I signed into law a few days later.Although COVID-19 and other logistical issues delayed the recruitment process, we ran an open and transparent recruitment process that culminated in announcing the 1,500 successful candidates' names in October 2020. Shortly after that, their training began in the first week of November. Today we are here to witness the passing out parade of the pioneer members of the Amotekun Corps.Security has always been an issue close to my heart. While on the campaign trail, I spoke about how we could tackle insecurity in Oyo State. We outlined clear plans in our manifesto, the Roadmap to Accelerated Development in Oyo State 2019-2023. And so, when we came into office, we went ahead to make security one of the pillars of our administration.Our actions have been based on the fact that if our state is insecure, we cannot attract investment, whether foreign or local. So far, we have supported our federal security outfits, who do their best to protect our people. We provided them with communication gadgets and patrol vehicles. More recently, we requested for and established just this past May 2020, the Police Mobile Force 72 Squadron at Ago-Are and presented them with patrol vehicles for the outfit's operations.But as I have argued on various fora, for governors to really play the role of Chief Security Officers of their states, state policing is the way forward. I am confident that someday, we will get enough support at the national level to achieve that constitutional review.But, for now, we will settle for the next best thing.The Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed Amotekun, is an independent outfit. Members will answer to the state governors, but they will be working with the federal security agencies.Some of the primary functions of the Amotekun Corps as authorised by law include: Collaborating with and assisting the Nigeria Police and other security agencies in gathering information. They will be involved in crime, the investigation of crime, arrest, and prosecution of persons suspected of kidnapping, terrorism, destruction of livelihood, criminal damage to property, cultism, highway robbery, and any other illegal activities.They will also be involved in routine day and night patrols on major roads and remote areas. Members of the corps will be drafted to all the 351 wards in Oyo State. They will be our own community police so that their presence will be felt everywhere. This ensures that offenders are quickly identified, arrested, registered, and promptly handed over to the nearest police station or post. As I said during one of my speeches following the End SARS protests, this is one outfit that I can boldly say hold me responsible for the actions of the members.Therefore, let me state to you 1,500 pioneers of the Amotekun Corps that you must remain excellent examples in service. You are to work for the people. You are not called to harass or intimidate the people. Instead, exhibit the highest level of professionalism in the discharge of your duties. Remember that there are limits to your authority, and always follow directives from the chain of command.We have appointed two qualified men as chairman and commandant of the Amotekun Corps, the persons of Retired General Ajibola Kunle Togun and Retired Colonel Olayanju Olayinka. We also have other eminent persons on the board. I am confident that under them, the Amotekun Corps will live up to their objectives.As I said during the official launch of this outfit in January 2020, our regional integration, through Amotekun, should be seen in one light. We are coming together to fight a common enemy. That enemy is not Nigeria; the enemies are the elements among us and their affiliates who are determined to cause commotion within our states' borders and threaten our peaceful coexistence.And on this note, I declare the Oyo State Security Network Agency codenamed Amotekun operational.~ Governor Seyi Makinde, November 18, 2020

Adeshola Makinde is a multi-media artist based in Grand Rapids, Michigan that is constantly evolving at the age of 28. He was raised in the Chicagoland suburbs. He got his start in photography taking photos at parties, concerts, fashion shows and other cultural events. He eventually found himself hustling to concerts around the country to photograph some of the most famous performers in music, both onstage and off. We’re talking about artists like D’Angelo, Lil Wayne, Travis Scott and Common to name a few. Some young photographers would call that a major success, and just keep doing that. But eventually Adeshola found himself longing to say much more with his work than just documenting live events…so, he started a small street wear label that began to experiment with social justice messages. And now today, he finds himself working in collage…sourcing and cutting out images and words from vintage magazines like Jet, Ebony Magazine and The Black Panther Party Newsletter. He then creates new collages and commentaries that tackle social issues that affect marginalized people. Follow Adeshola at www.adesholamakinde.com and @adesholamakinde on IG and Twitter. This podcast is fueled by passion, Brian Kelly Photography and Film and Brian Kelly Productions.

We are joined once again by the lawyer and university lecturer Adeyinka Makinde for an in-depth interview on the subject of his recent essay, "Britain and Russia: An Enduring But Fruitless Rivalry". The crisis between Britain and Russia over the alleged poisoning of Sergei Skripal is the latest episode in what has been in recent years a de facto "Cold War" between Russia and the West. However, friction between Russia and Britain is longstanding; indeed it has spanned the centuries—a recurring clash of civilisations fuelled by cultural differences, imperial ambition and ideological antagonism—and manifest today in the West's attempts to maintain its global dominance in the face of a surgent Eurasia with Russia at its centre. But with the ideological "Cold War" of the Soviet years a thing of the past, we must surely pause to ask: Why is Britain prolonging this fruitless "rivalry" with a distant Eurasian power? Whose interests does it serve? And is there, perhaps, a more constructive and, frankly, safer way forward? Adeyinka Makinde trained for the law as a barrister. He lectures in criminal law and public law at a university in London, and has an academic research interest in intelligence & security matters. He is a contributor to a number of websites for which he has written essays and commentaries on international relations, politics and military history. He has served as a programme consultant and provided expert commentary for BBC World Service Radio, China Radio International and the Voice of Russia.

"...it is sometimes necessary to do unpleasant things which lose a certain amount of allegiance for a moment in order to produce your overall results"—Frank Kitson This week we conclude our two-part interview with lawyer and university lecturer Adeyinka Makinde on his forthcoming academic paper: "Intelligence Accountability - Can the British State Convict Itself?"
