Romans 7 presents us with one of the most raw and vulnerable passages in all of Scripture, where we encounter the apostle Paul wrestling with a tension that every believer knows intimately: the struggle between who we are in Christ and the sin that still clings to our flesh. This passage doesn't offer us a polished, perfect Christianity—instead, it invites us into the messy reality of spiritual transformation. We discover that being saved doesn't make us perfect; it makes us forgiven. The profound truth here is that we are no longer 'in the flesh' but we are still 'of the flesh'—we've been freed from sin's dominion, yet we still battle its presence. Paul's honest confession 'I do not understand my own actions' resonates deeply because it mirrors our own experience. We find ourselves doing the very things we hate and failing to do the good we desire. This isn't a sign that our salvation is invalid; rather, it's evidence of the spiritual war raging within every Christ-follower. The beauty emerges when Paul asks not 'what will deliver me?' but 'who will deliver me?'—pointing us away from self-help solutions toward the only One who can truly save us. The answer comes thundering through: 'Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord,' followed immediately by the liberating declaration of Romans 8:1—'There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' We're reminded that our Father stands with arms wide open, not waiting to condemn us for our failures, but inviting us to run to Him with every struggle, every sin, every moment of weakness.### Detailed Sermon Notes**Introduction:**- Pastor Will introduces himself and shares his recent mission trip to Malawi and South Africa. He emphasizes the gratitude for the church's support, which enables partnerships and gospel sharing in extremely impoverished regions.**Scripture Focus (Romans 7:13-25):**- **Struggle with Sin:** - Paul's honesty about his battle with sin highlights a universal Christian experience. - Believers are of the flesh yet in Christ, creating a tension of living according to the Spirit while wrestling with sinful nature. - Paul's question, "Why do I do what I don't want to do?" resonates with many believers.**Life as a Journey:**- **Analogy of the River:** - Life's path before Christ is like flowing downstream. Conversion is the turning point, representing the choice to paddle upstream against worldly currents.**Personal Story:**- Will shares a story of his son breaking a TV and promptly confessing, illustrating how God desires us to come to Him after we fail, instead of trying to fix things on our own.**Main Points:**- **Human Nature vs. Divine Calling:** - Despite being saved, Christians have an ongoing struggle with sin due to their fleshly nature. - Quoting John MacArthur, Will explains that believers are not "in" the flesh but "of" it, highlighting the continuous internal conflict.**Closing Message:**- Only Jesus, not human efforts, can deliver from sin's power.- Encourages transparency within the church, fostering a community where individuals can confess struggles without judgment.### Practical Applications1. **Embrace Transparency:**  - Cultivate authentic relationships within the church by admitting and discussing personal struggles.2. **Run to God:**  - Develop a habit of confessing sins to God promptly and seeking His strength to overcome, rather than relying on self-improvement techniques.3. **Rely on Grace:**  - Focus on understanding and relying on God's grace through Christ, rather than attempting to achieve righteousness through personal effort.4. **Scripture Engagement:**  - Regularly read and meditate on Scripture to reinforce the truth of God's grace and the ongoing internal battle with sin.### Discussion Questions1. **Personal Reflection:**  - Describe a time when you felt like Paul, struggling between your desires and your actions. How did you handle it?2. **The Role of Grace:**  - How can embracing God's grace daily help you in your struggle against sin?3. **Community Support:**  - In what ways can you contribute to making the church a more open and accepting environment for vulnerability and authenticity?4. **Prayerful Dependence:**  - What steps can you take to run to God and seek His help whenever you face temptation or failure?

There is a transformation taking place right now across every major nation on earth, and it is happening so quickly, so uniformly, and with such prophetic clarity that you would need to work hard not to see what the Lord has plainly revealed in His preserved Book. Nearly every country on the face of the earth is now preparing to launch or expand a national digital identity system. From the United States to the United Kingdom, from the European Union to Africa and Asia, digital IDs are becoming the cornerstone of a new global infrastructure. And make no mistake — this is not about convenience, modernization, or innovation. This is about control.“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16,17 (KJB)On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we are not dealing with a handful of nations dabbling in high-tech identification. We are watching a global convergence. A coordinated digital transformation is sweeping the planet, touching wealthy nations, developing nations, democratic nations, authoritarian nations — everyone, everywhere, all at once. The United States is now fully onboard. What Washington denied for decades is now becoming normalized through federal digital ID initiatives, mobile driver's licenses, airport-verified digital credentials, and tech-led identity systems spearheaded by Silicon Valley. The United Kingdom is preparing a government-issued digital ID card and a national identity wallet. The European Union has mandated that all 27 member nations introduce a fully functional digital identity wallet by 2026. Australia passed its Digital ID Act and is expanding its national ID scheme. African nations like Malawi, Ethiopia, Zambia, and Nigeria are rolling out digital ID systems tied to biometrics and banking access. Asian powerhouses like China, Japan, and South Korea are integrating digital identity across healthcare, travel, payments, and social services. And standing over all of this is the United Nations, pushing “digital public infrastructure” as the new mandatory framework for global cooperation. In 2024, every last UN member state signaled support for expanding national digital ID programs. That is not coincidence — that is convergence.

How can carbon finance do more to strengthen rural livelihoods and empower the communities on the frontlines of climate change? Social Impact Pioneers - Anna Kilpatrick, from PUR, Ann Vaughan & Lilian Gwazayo of CARE, and Olaf Westermann, from Catholic Relief Services (CRS) explore this critical question. The conversation, in turn, hears from people implementing carbon finance programmes with a focus on deepening livelihood benefits in countries from around the world, including Mr. Matola Sigele in Malawi; Karimi in Cambodia; Emmanuel and Joshua in Uganda. Together, they unpack how nature-based solutions, carbon markets, and community-led restoration can deliver climate impact rooted in equity and sustainability. The conversation dives into payment for ecosystem services, carbon equity, and the importance of long-term investment in communities that steward forests and farmlands. You will hear how carbon projects are reshaping livelihoods—improving food security, empowering women, and restoring degraded landscapes. And also some of the challenges - in making these programmes work - whether land rights, short-term rewards, or understandable skepticism. This episode offers practical insights for businesses, investors, and NGOs seeking to align carbon finance integrity with inclusive development. Listen now to explore how climate finance can be a cornerstone of sustainable livelihoods—not just a co-benefit. This conversation is hosted by Yvette Torres-Rahman, co-founder of Business Fights Poverty. Social Impact Pioneers: - Anna Kilpatrick, Chief Strategy and Impact Officer at PUR, whose agroforestry projects help global companies decarbonize agricultural supply chains while improving smallholder incomes. - Ann Vaughan, Associate Vice President for Resilient Futures at CARE, leading work to unlock climate finance that reaches 25 million people, especially women and girls. - Olaf Westermann, Senior Technical Advisor on Climate Change and Agriculture at CRS, connecting conservation, livelihoods, and equity in nature-based carbon projects worldwide. - Lilian Gwazayo, Field Advisor, & Environmental Scientist, CARE, Malawi.

Malawi's women want real power. Activists are pushing for legal quotas to boost female representation in politics, and say bold reforms are the only way to fix the imbalance.

We find ourselves in one of the most challenging sections of Romans, where Paul confronts us with a profound truth: the law reveals our sin but cannot save us from it. Through the lens of the tenth commandment—'thou shalt not covet'—we discover how deeply sin runs in our hearts. The message uses a simple yet powerful illustration of children wanting each other's ice cream to show us something profound: we are perfectly content with what we have until we see what others possess. This isn't just about material things; it's about the human heart's tendency to compare, desire, and ultimately rebel against God's boundaries. The beauty of this teaching lies in its honesty—we learn that even the greatest saints, like Paul himself, wrestled with sin daily. The law acts as a mirror, showing us our need for a Savior, but it cannot cleanse us. Only the blood of Jesus can do that. When we stand before God, it won't be our good deeds that save us, but Christ stepping onto the scales of justice in our place. This message calls us to guard our hearts, cultivate gratitude instead of covetousness, and remember that when we do fall—and we will—we have an advocate in Jesus Christ who pleads our case before the Father.### Sermon Notes: Understanding Romans 7:7-14#### Detailed Notes1. **Introduction**  - The sermon focuses on Romans 7:7-14, noted as a dense and challenging part of the scripture where Paul discusses the law and sin.  - Central theme: The law's role in revealing sin and the struggle of living under sin's influence despite knowing the law.2. **Prayer for Clarity**  - Asking for divine help to illuminate the passage and remove distractions for better understanding.3. **Missions Update**  - Brief updates on church missions to Malawi, South Africa, and Myanmar, emphasizing global reach and community impact.4. **Exposition of Romans 7:7-14**  - Example of coveting as illustrated in Exodus 20:17 (The Tenth Commandment).  - Story of personal experience with grandchildren to highlight the human tendency toward covetousness.  - Emphasis that coveting stems from the heart, leading to actions contrary to God's commandment.5. **Boundaries and Sin**  - Illustration of boundaries using a playground metaphor, explaining how humans naturally push against established limits.  - The law serves as a boundary to reveal the sin within, not to save.6. **Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21)**  - Jesus teaching against covetousness by focusing on the parable where temporal possessions take precedence over spiritual richness.  - Warning against the dangers of greed and the temporal nature of material possessions.7. **David and Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11-12)**  - The story of King David's sin due to covetousness as a demonstration of how a desire stems from the heart and leads to breaking multiple commandments.  - Nathan's confrontation of David and the ensuing consequences.8. **Covetousness and Spiritual Life**  - Recognizing that covetousness begins in the heart and can lead to a cascade of sinful actions.  - Encouragement to guard the heart against such desires (Proverbs 4:23).9. **Paul's Struggle with Sin**  - Insight into Paul's internal struggle with sin, possibly rooted in personal inadequacies and past actions.  - Importance of grace through Jesus as the only path to overcoming sin.10. **Practical Implications of the Sermon**  - Recognizing our daily battles with sin and relying on Jesus as our advocate.  - Importance of gratitude as a weapon against covetousness and material obsession.  - Encouraging humility and recognition of one's sinfulness to experience growth and redemption.#### Practical Applications1. **Cultivate Gratitude**  - Regularly practice gratitude to combat covetousness. Maintain a gratitude journal or share daily thanks with family or friends.2. **Guard Your Heart**  - Be mindful of thoughts that lead to coveting. Establish personal 'guardrails' when engaging with media that fuels envy or discontentment.3. **Recognize Boundaries**  - Identify areas in life where you push against God's established boundaries and work on staying centered through prayer and reflection.4. **Pursue Spiritual Richness**  - Prioritize investments in spiritual growth over material acquisitions. Participate in church activities, bible studies, and community services.5. **Rely on Jesus' Advocacy**  - When struggling with sin, verbally acknowledge Jesus as your advocate in prayer to foster reliance on His grace.#### Discussion Questions1. How does understanding the purpose of the law help you in your daily struggle with sin?2. Can you identify ways in which covetousness surfaces in your life? How do you typically respond to it?3. Reflect on a situation where gratitude has helped you overcome feelings of envy or dissatisfaction. Share with the group.4. In what ways can we as a community support each other in establishing and respecting personal and spiritual boundaries?5. How does the understanding of Jesus as your advocate change your perspective on personal failings and sins?

On the outskirts of Malawi's commercial capital in South East Africa, two of the world's most vulnerable groups, children and wildlife, were being exploited at an orphanage established by a Taiwanese monk. Behind its walls, children were being groomed to take part in an international wildlife trafficking network in ivory, rhino horn, lions' teeth, shark fins and pangolins. For more than a decade, journalist Rachel Nuwer has investigated the illegal trade in endangered animals, often putting herself in danger undercover to expose their methods. Her latest story in The Economist raises urgent questions about exploitation, faith, and the hidden forces driving the illegal wildlife trade. It's called The School for Wildlife Traffickers.

L'annonce a été faite à Casablanca cette semaine, à l'occasion de la cinquième édition de l'Africa Financial Industry Summit (AFIS). Le Tchad entre dans un dispositif qui permettra d'assurer le financement des importations de première nécessité vers le pays sahélien. Une garantie offerte par Proparco aux opérations commerciales, financées par Ecobank Tchad. Avec en ligne de mire le développement des PME tchadiennes. L'enveloppe de Proparco, 10 millions d'euros renouvelables à chaque opération sur trois ans, servira à garantir le financement des importations indispensables aux entreprises tchadiennes. « Le Tchad a besoin d'importer énormément de produits, que ce soient des machines, des matières premières agricoles, de l'engrais, etc., souligne Djalal Khimdjee, directeur général délégué de cette filiale de l'Agence française de développement dédiée au secteur privé. L'objectif de ce type de financement, c'est de concentrer notre garantie sur les produits de première nécessité et les machines, pour que les PME se développent. » Aider les PME Partenaire de Proparco dans le dispositif, Ecobank sera l'interlocuteur des entreprises tchadiennes sur place. « La plupart du temps, elles doivent payer les importations en cash ou ne peuvent tout simplement pas se le permettre, explique le PDG de la banque panafricaine, Jeremy Awori. Avec cette facilité, on va regarder chaque demande, certaines dans l'agriculture, la santé, l'éducation, probablement dans les industries de la tech, et regarder comment l'entreprise s'en sort. » Rassurer les fournisseurs Cette garantie, créée en 2018, a déjà permis une centaine d'opérations dans quatre autres pays africains, dont la Guinée. Dans ce dernier pays, le dispositif a soutenu une PME de produits agricoles guinéenne qui voulait importer de l'emballage depuis l'Europe pour faciliter ses propres exportations. « Le fournisseur européen réclamait l'assurance d'un paiement avant d'expédier cet emballage, se rappelle le patron de la banque. Ecobank a émis la lettre de crédit au client guinéen, Proparco l'a soutenue avec une garantie de "trade finance". Cette combinaison a rassuré le fournisseur qui a expédié le produit. Et la PME l'a reçu sans avoir besoin de décaisser l'argent à l'avance. » Produits de première nécessité  La garantie, 125 millions d'euros renouvelables au total, a contribué à réduire le risque et donc le coût du financement des importations de riz au Liberia, mais aussi de rendre plus abordables les achats d'engrais et de médicaments pour le Malawi.

Our guest, Dr. Leila Larson of the University of South Carolina, shares insights from her study on pica among pregnant women in Malawi, part of the REVAMP iron supplementation trial. She discusses how iron status, infection, and environment influence maternal health, why intravenous iron may be a more effective approach to reducing pica, and what these cravings reveal about nutrition and development worldwide. We also hear about her new U.S.-based study and how she balances a vibrant global research career. ------------------------------ Find the work discussed in this episode: Larson, Leila M., Martin Mwangi, Rebecca Harding, Ernest Moya, Ricardo Ataíde, Glory Mzembe, Ashley Thurber et al.

Die omstrede profeet Shepherd Bushiri het senior Suid-Afrikaanse polisiebeamptes daarvan beskuldig dat hulle in 2016 12 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand as 'n beskermingsfooi geëis het. Bushiri het tydens 'n kerkdiens beweer die beamptes, onder andere "Generaal Sibiya", het omkoopgeld gevra om sy saak te laat verdwyn en later teen hom gedraai. Bushiri beweer hy het die saak by die Onafhanklike Polisiedirektoraat aangemeld, maar niks het gebeur nie. Hy sê toenemende dreigemente het hom uiteindelik gedwing om in 2020 vir veiligheid na Malawi te vlug:

Die minister van justisie en grondwetlike ontwikkeling, Mmamoloko Kubayi, sê die regering hersien die uitspraak van die Hooggeregshof in Lilongwe, Malawi, rakende die uitlewering van pastoor Shepherd en Mary Bushiri aan Suid-Afrika. Die Bushiri's het in 2020 uit Suid-Afrika gevlug terwyl hulle op borgtog uit was vir bedrog en geldwassery. Woordvoerder Terrence Manase sê Kubayi het Suid-Afrika se verbintenis tot die versekering van geregtigheid herbevestig:

From living-room experiments to Malawian street stages — and a brief stop-off in Transylvania.This week, Steve explores what it means to sing what you see: making music that's spontaneous, handmade and gloriously human. There's a Halloween detour into his live Nosferatu score, a new Clip n Mix, and a look at the brilliant Madalitso Band from Malawi — two musicians whose home-built instruments and hypnotic grooves turn simplicity into joy.Plus: the mystery of a slightly windy theme tune proves that accidents can be the best kind of inspiration.

New music from as far afield as Malawi, Senegal, Mali, and Zimbabwe, and from all across Canada from Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, to PEI, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Yukon, and BC. Plus a couple for tracks from the great new albums by Alison Brown & Steve Martin, and Robert Plant's new project. Previews of local concerts, too.

Sergio Carriel is a Brazilian missionary who has been serving in Africa for 19 years, starting in Mozambique and then expanding to other African countries like Malawi, Uganda, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Kenya. He has experienced many miracles and conversions during his evangelistic crusades in Africa, including healings and deliverance from demonic oppression. Carriel believes God is raising up a missionary force from Brazil to go to other nations, and he wants to inspire and encourage more Brazilian youth to become evangelists and missionaries. He has faced challenges in getting financial support from churches in Brazil, who often focus more on local needs rather than global missions. Carriel hopes to see the Brazilian church invest more in sending missionaries worldwide.

The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (Mass Moca) is starting a record label aimed at developing artists, focusing on creativity, and giving exposure to musicians who are creating under-appreciated art. The first record on this new label came out last Friday. The Kasawambwe Brothers of Malawi recorded this album with help from Mass Moca. I spoke to Harlan Steinberger who runs a studio in Los Angeles called Hen House Studio. He's worked with artists like Willie Nelson and Sunny War, and has been recording music for decades. I had the chance to speak with him about this exciting new project, and what's in store for the future of Mass Moca Records. I hope you dig it!

Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, says he doesn't rule out further strikes on Hamas leaders "wherever they are," despite being criticised for launching an attack on Qatari territory last week. Israel's decision to target senior Hamas leaders in Qatar - a close US ally - drew international outrage and criticism, even from US President Donald Trump. Mr Netanyahu was speaking after meeting the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who blamed Hamas and urged Qatar to continue to play a constructive role on Gaza. Also: a Turkish court has adjourned its hearing into allegations of vote-buying by the leader of the opposition CHP party, and we hear from young people demanding a voice ahead of Malawi's elections.
