"He lived for her, and she lived for him. It's the love story of the century," Wright said, recalling how they would dance, take walks and care for each other.</div>

Harrison and Hill's marriage this year after 10 years of companionship was disputed in court. Their wedding was problematic because Hill has been declared legally incapacitated for several years. Another of Hill's daughters, Patricia Barber, contested the marriage, saying it would complicate the eventual distribution of Hill's estate. But Hill and Harrison said they wanted to stay together.</div>

A judge appointed a new guardian for Hill to protect her interests, removing Barber and Wright as guardians, but left the marriage intact.</div>

The interracial aspect of the marriage also was unique because the two longtime Virginians would not have been allowed to marry if they had met in their 20s, 30s or 40s under state law at the time.</div>

On Dec. 6, Hill's guardian arrived to take Hill away to Barber's home in Florida for what was supposed to be a two-week vacation. Police were called to the home during a traumatic 40-minute negotiation to convince Hill to leave, Wright said.</div>

When Hill did not return home as planned after two weeks, Harrison began to realize she was not coming back, Wright said. Daisy Birch, a family friend, said Harrison was heartbroken. He also became ill with the flu and checked himself into a hospital.</div>

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, 90, was released from a Houston hospital on Tuesday after a weeklong stay brought on by breathing difficulties, his spokesman said.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"President Bush was released from the Houston Methodist Hospital today," spokesman Jim McGrath said in a statement. "He is now resting at home, grateful to the doctors and nurses for their superb care."</div>

Bush, who served one term as the 41st president from 1989 to 1993, was admitted to the same hospital in November 2012 for bronchitis and related ailments. He was so ill at one point that he was believed to be near death but recovered and was allowed to go home after seven weeks.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The message the angel gave the shepherds in Luke 2:7-14 when Jesus was born was good tidings of joy. The angel said, the coming of Christ has brought great joy, glad tidings and peace. These words were uncommon to them because the awesome definition of the Gospel is a message that is too good to be true.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before the coming of Jesus Christ, there was no peace between God and man because of sin. God was always angry with the human race but still needed to relate with man, which was why He instructed Noah to build an ark for Him, to save as many as possible from the wrath that was to come. Yet, Noah’s descendants fell into sin. God was still not satisfied.</span></div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Then He called Abraham. God said He would bless Abraham and make a great nation out of him, a nation of people who would be God’s own people. Even this was not enough as the children of Israel kept going against God, grumbling often. God allowed their enemies to overrule them, and they were in exile a number of times.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, God sent His son into the world to become a propriation for our sins. God sent Jesus to reconcile the world to Him. He sent His Angel to tell Mary that she would deliver a baby through the power of the Holy Spirit. Mary became pregnant supernaturally. When the Angel of the Lord spoke those words to her, a seed was released, and this seed was the word of God. John 1:14 says that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. In order words, the seed of the word became flesh. The conception of Jesus was supernatural.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In I Peter. 1:23, we are made to understand that we are born again not of the corruptible seed, but of the incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. So, the word the Angel spoke to Mary was born of the incorruptible, because it was born of God. It was the only way to ensure that Jesus was qualified to become the atonement for our sins; the only way to ensure that our salvation would be ever sure.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, the spoken word would not have been fruitful if not for the full cooperation of Mary. God may have spoken the word that would bring the Saviour of Mankind to life but it could only manifest when Mary submitted to the power of this word. This happened when she replied the angel saying, ‘Let it be unto me according to your word’. At that point, the intercourse that produced Jesus took place. Therefore, even though God had spoken the word, He still needed the submission of Mary to ensure that it was brought to life. In the same way, the word of God concerning our lives need our full cooperation before they can manifest.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is also important to understand why Jesus came to this world. In the beginning, after God created Adam and Eve, He gave them dominion over all His creation. Unfortunately, the devil had been cast down and was waiting for an opportunity to be in the same class as God. So, he deceived man and took over the dominion which God had given them. Since then, he has used this same dominion to wrought evil upon the earth.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thankfully, Jesus came and restored our access to God; He broke the wall of enmity which was between man and God. Much more than this, He restored the dominion back to man and elevated us to the same class with God. It is important that we understand what the coming of Jesus has brought to us, and one of them is righteousness. Because of Jesus, we now have dominion over sin.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another thing this dominion has given us is longevity of life. In Isaiah 65:20, we are made to understand that in the new covenant God was making with His people, anyone who died before a hundred years shall be accursed. Therefore, untimely death is not an option for us; we are the ones who will choose when we want to leave this earth, not any other person.</span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All these and more are words spoken by God to us, but like we have seen in the case of Mary, these words will mean nothing to us if we do not fully cooperate and submit to the will of God according to His word. Mary was not the only virgin at that time but she was the only one found worthy in heart, not because she wasn’t with any sin, but because she had a good a heart. Mary’s heart was prepared to receive the seed. </span></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once you are born again, you should know that you now have dominion over sin, not only sin but also over death and sickness and you have to take responsibility of this. The seed you need for your miracle is the word and God has already given us. Thank God Jesus came, thank God He was born into this world in a manger and He became the lamb of God which was slain for us.Thank God He rose again and is alive still speaking for us. He brought joy to us, He brought peace and goodwill to us. In the same vein, we should be channels of joy, peace and goodwill to all men. You can boldly say, ‘I give joy to the world just as Jesus came and brought joy to the world’. </span></div>

<strong>- The plane was over the Java Sea between Belitung island and Pontianak, on Indonesia's part of Kalimantan island, tracked four minutes after its pilot, Captain Iriyanto, stopped responding to ATC. Iriyanto had requested at 6:12am Indonesia time to veer left (this was approved) and ascend to 38,000 feet from 32,000 feet. After Indonesia's ATC informed the pilot at 6:14am Indonesia time of a revised height of 34,000 feet (because flight QZ8502 was cruising at 38,000 feet altitude), there was no response. The plane was then officially declared missing at 7:55am Indonesia time.</strong></div>

Another Hollywood movie is running afoul of a foreign government this month. "Exodus: Gods and Kings" was banned in Egypt.<br />
"The Ministry of Culture bans the film 'Gods and Kings' for historical inaccuracies," the Egyptian agency said in a statement.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Does 'Exodus' have a race problem?<br />
<br />
The movie, which stars Christian Bale as Moses, is a re-enactment of the biblical story of the Jews' escape from slavery in Egypt more than 3,000 years ago, during the time of the pharaohs. Australian actor Joel Hedgerton plays the Pharaoh Ramses in the 20th Century Fox production.<br />
<br />
Egyptian Culture Minister Jabir Asfour slammed the film as "Zionist." "It shows history from a Zionist viewpoint and forges historical events, therefore it is was banned in Egypt," according to state news agency EGYNews.<br />
In 1956, the same biblical story was told in "The Ten Commandments" starring Charlton Heston as Moses and Yul Brynner as Ramses. That version was filmed on location in Egypt.<br />
<br />
"Exodus" is the latest in Hollywood's string of religious-themed movies released this year.<br />
In March, several Muslim countries banned the blockbuster "Noah," saying the depiction of Noah -- whom Muslims revere as a prophet -- is forbidden in Islam.<br />
<br />
News of the ban comes on the heels of the limited release of "The Interview," the movie that provoked North Korea to vow "merciless" action against the United States over its lampooning of leader Kim Jong Un. On Saturday, North Korea called U.S. President Barack Obama the "chief culprit" who forced Sony to "indiscriminately distribute" the picture.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030377340330563237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445064867683018485.post-57372162008673800792014-12-29T21:56:00.002-08:002014-12-29T21:56:51.388-08:00Scotland confirms case of Ebola<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Health officials in Glasgow, Scotland, have confirmed a case of Ebola. "The patient is a health care worker who was helping to combat the disease in West Africa" and returned from Sierra Leone late Sunday night, the Scottish health agency NHS Scotland said.<br />
<br />
The patient flew via Casablanca, Morocco, and London Heathrow Airport, arriving at Glasgow Airport on a British Airways flight around 11:30 p.m., the statement said. "The patient was admitted to hospital early in the morning after feeling unwell and was placed into isolation at 7.50 a.m. All possible contacts with the patient are now being investigated and anyone deemed to be at risk will be contacted and closely monitored. However, having been diagnosed in the very early stages of the illness, the risk to others is considered extremely low."<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland's head of government, led a meeting of the Scottish Government Resilience Committee "to ensure all necessary steps are being taken," and she spoke with British Prime Minister David Cameron, NHS Scotland said.<br />
Following established protocol, the patient "will be transferred to the high-level isolation unit in the Royal Free hospital, London, as soon as possible. This is where the facilities, staff and systems are in place to ensure the best quality and safest care."<br />
<br />
Access to the unit is restricted to specially trained medical staff. A specially designed tent, with controlled ventilation, will be set up over the patient's bed.<br />
<br />
"Scotland has been preparing for this possibility from the beginning of the outbreak in West Africa and I am confident that we are well prepared," Sturgeon said in the statement.<br />
<br />
"We have the robust procedures in place to identify cases rapidly. Our health service also has the expertise and facilities to ensure that confirmed Ebola cases such as this are contained and isolated effectively minimizing any potential spread of the disease."<br />
<br />
She added, "Scotland's NHS has proved it is well able to cope with infectious diseases in the past, such as swine flu, and I am confident we will be able to respond effectively again."<br />
<br />
The patient was working with Save the Children at an Ebola treatment center in Sierra Leone, according to Michael von Bertele, humanitarian director at that organization.<br />
<br />
"Our thoughts are with the individual, their family and colleagues at this difficult time. We wish them a speedy recovery," he said in a statement.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030377340330563237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445064867683018485.post-32837580874248633232014-12-29T17:49:00.001-08:002014-12-29T17:49:30.362-08:00 ARCHBISHOP NICHOLAS DUNCAN WILLIAMS: Day 5, Breaking Demonic Interference<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px;">

Not again. Must all Asia missing flights be at the bottom of the sea? This is the second time an Asia flight is losts in the sea in one year. The officials are saying that The missing AirAsia jet probably crashed into the sea, Indonesia's top rescue official said Monday, citing radar data from the plane's last contact.<br />
<br />
"Our early conjecture is that the plane is in the bottom of the sea," Bambang Sulistyo, head of Indonesia's national search and rescue agency, told reporters, saying the view was based on the plane's flight track and last known coordinates.<br />
<br />
But searchers still don't know exactly where the aircraft is, he said, and may need help from other countries for an underwater search.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The search for AirAsia Flight QZ8501 resumed on Monday, a day after the commercial jet disappeared in Indonesian airspace with 162 people aboard.<br />
<br />
Ships, planes and helicopters are looking for the missing aircraft, according to Indonesian authorities, who are leading the search and rescue operations.<br />

Plane was on common route<br />
<br />
It's unclear if weather played a role in the aircraft's disappearance, but rescuers say it could be a factor that influences how quickly they find the plane.<br />
<br />
Large waves and clouds hampered the search for the plane on Sunday, the agency said. By Monday morning, weather in the area appeared to be clearing up, CNN International meteorologist Tom Sater said.<br />
Authorities say they're combing a "very broad search area."<br />
What role did weather play?<br />
<br />
AirAsia says air traffic controllers lost contact with the aircraft at 7:24 a.m. Sunday Singapore time (6:24 a.m. in Indonesia).<br />
<br />
The plane, flying from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore, went missing as it flew over the Java Sea between the islands of Belitung and Borneo -- a heavily traveled shipping channel with shallow waters -- Indonesian authorities said.<br />
Before the plane, an Airbus A320-200, lost contact with air traffic controllers, one of the pilots asked to change course and fly at a higher altitude because of bad weather, officials said. Heavy thunderstorms were reported in the area at the time.<br />
<br />
Air traffic control approved the pilot's request to turn left but denied permission for the plane to climb to 38,000 feet from 32,000 feet, Djoko Murjatmodjo, an aviation official at the Indonesian Transport Ministry told the national newspaper Kompas.<br />
<br />
AirAsia pilot requested to change route MH370 and AirAsia very different incidents<br />
The increased altitude request was denied because there was another plane flying at that height, he said.<br />
In addition to Indonesia's teams, several other countries have joined the hunt for the missing plane.<br />
A C-130 plane from Singapore has been participating in the search, and the country's military says it's sending two more ships to the search area. Malaysia's transportation minister said his country has deployed three vessels and three aircraft to assist in the search. And the Royal Australian Air Force said Monday that it was deploying a patrol plane to help.<br />
<br />
The U.S. Navy Seventh Fleet said it stands ready to assist the search efforts but so far hasn't been asked to help.<br />
Indonesia has reached out to the United Kingdom, France and the United States for help with sonar technology that may be needed for an underwater search, Sulistyo told reporters Monday.<br />
<br />
After hours of waiting in anguish for any word about the passengers aboard the missing plane, several dozen of their family members met with airport and airline officials in a closed-door briefing Monday at the airport in Surabaya.<br />
As they waited for news, some relatives took cell phone pictures of a flight manifest posted on a wall. The black-and-white papers showed every passenger's name and seat number, but not their fate. Others simply sat and dabbed tears from their eyes.<br />
<br />
Oei Endang Sulsilowati and her daughter were looking for information about her brother, his wife and their two children.<br />
"We don't know what to do," Sulsilowati said. "We are just waiting for news."<br />
<br />
"Our concern right now is for the relatives and the next of kin," AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes said during a news conference in Surabaya.<br />
<br />
Fernandes confirmed that storm clouds caused the pilot to ask for a change in flight plan, but added, "We don't want to speculate whether weather was a factor. We really don't know." Once the aircraft is found, there will be a proper investigation, he said.<br />
<br />
Of the people on board the passenger jet, 155 are Indonesian, three are South Korean, one is British, one is French, one is Malaysian and one is Singaporean, the airline said.<br />
<br />
Eighteen children, including one infant, are among the passengers, the carrier said. Seven of the people on board are crew members.<br />
<br />
Families of AirAsia flight passengers given support through the 'nightmare'<br />
<br />
AirAsia, a successful budget airline group headquartered in Malaysia, had a clean safety record until the disappearance of Flight 8501. The missing plane is operated by the company's Indonesian affiliate.<br />
<br />
The loss of contact with the plane comes nearly 10 months after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which dropped off radar over Southeast Asia on March 8 with 239 people on board.<br />
<br />
Searchers have yet to find any remains of Flight 370, which officials believe went down in the southern Indian Ocean after mysteriously flying thousands of kilometers away from its planned route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.<br />
But some aviation experts don't think the search for Flight 8501 will be as challenging as the hunt for MH370.<br />
"We are not talking about the deep Indian Ocean here," CNN aviation correspondent Richard Quest said. "We are talking about congested airspace around Southeast Asia. There will be much better radar coverage. There's certainly better air traffic control coverage."Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030377340330563237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445064867683018485.post-12703845952819517032014-12-28T22:07:00.001-08:002014-12-28T22:07:12.711-08:00A REAL LIFE ENCOUNTER OF LIFE AFTER DEATH.<br />

It was around past 4 in the morning around mid-October,after ending the normal ritual of night prayer to my Heavenly Father,i was feeling so uneasy in my Spirit,though i'v always have strange feelings sometimes at night,but it always points to a single direction of me being a man.<br />But this feeling within me was different,i wasn't feeling dizzy;so what type of rare feeling could this be?.</div>

I was taken in the Spirit to a very dark place,it was so dark that i couldn't see anything around me but save a white light shinning from afar,what could that be,i thought within me.that was how my journey began,i was so curious about getting to the place where the Light was.<br />I began to walk,i haven't walked five metres,when a man on pure white suddenly appeared to me.I looked at His face,and i recognized it immediately,because it took the face of someone i knew on earth.I didn't even bother asking Him,cos i knew who He was already,but this man wasn't talking to me,so i began to walk as fast i could away from Him.But anytime i hasten my footstep,i always felt a huge path at my back,which made me stop for this man to walk with me.So i began to walk with Him without mincing a word.</div>

I got to a sharp bend on the route,on looking back, I couldn't see this man,I continued walking all alone in the dark,then a lady appeared to me on the road side,she said she knew me and she knows where I lived,and that I should follow her. I followed her without having a second thought,she took me inside a building I couldn't recognize. I was standing when this lady began to show some lustful signs that were much appeasing to the flesh,to the extent i almost forgot where i was going.. NO,i said within me!!!! this I wanted,I took to my heels immediately without much ado.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Finally I got to a place,the light was getting nearer,this man on white that left me was now back with me,but He still never said a word to me.we kept on walking.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
A voice called the both of us from from the corner side of the road,i recognized the person's voice that called us,the man following me was a friend to the person that called us,in which i also was closer to the person.This man on white was already there before i could get to the person.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />I saw their mouth moving but i never had a clue of what they were saying,after talking to each other,the man on white left,but i was still with this man that called us,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />This man began to tell me about his a huge Business organization,and how he could easily make me rich,he kept on talking,and talking.the offer was alluring and tempting.I almost fell for it,before i remembered that the man i was walking with initially has left me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I began to run,i ran as fast as my legs could carry me,after running for some time,i had to walk,while walking,i saw a tree with fruits on it,i'v never seen such in my life before,the fruit was big,fresh,and tempting.<br />I looked back,i saw this man in white walking towards my direction,had a cheeky look at the fruit again,looked back the second time,this man on white was gone.<br />But i was hungry and thirsty,i'v been walking for days without food and water,i wanted to pluck some and eat,before i just decided to leave it and go for the Light instead,so i continued walking.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
While walking alone,i looked up,lo and behold,i saw uncountable number of people at my front.where are these people going?i asked my self.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />I was now very weary and tired at this stage,my legs were heavy,i couldn't walk,i was dragging myself,i'm almost getting there,a large truck of people were not to far at my back,<br />A very BIG GATE was in my front,people who were at my front have vanished into thin air before getting to the gate.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Finally i crawled to the gate,I was just at the entrance of the gate,thinking of where to go from there when I saw some horrible tall looking beings well arranged with weapons on my left,it was a wide place,i was scared,i don't want those people to take me once i cross the gate.<br />But by my right,i saw a lady rejoicing,saying ''Hallelujah'',she was about entering a tight road before a very deep voice said ''HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS'',immediately,she was transformed.<br />She was so natural and shinning,her robe that was brown in colour before was now PURE WHITE.<br />The brightness was so much to comprehend that i was caught up immediately,then back to the room i was.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I saw my Spirit kneeling down praying fervently for more Holiness and righteousness,many things were revealed to me about how i v spent my life so far.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-top: 6px;">
After the prayer,my Spirit came back to my body,which made me woke up with tears in my eyes.<br />The time was exactly 5 am when i woke up.</div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-top: 6px;">

I hope you are having a blessed Sunday. Remember, God is with you through thick and thin; His love and favor never fails.<br />
Yesterday we prayed against the Spirit of Delay.<br />
Today we will be tackling the Spirit of Disappointment - a spirit that has caused many believers to feel discouraged. After today, may you find total liberty.<br />
Day 4:<br />
Proverbs 23:17-19 (NLT)<br />
17 Don’t envy sinners,<br />
but always continue to fear the Lord.<br />
18 You will be rewarded for this;<br />
your hope will not be disappointed.<br />
19 My child, listen and be wise:<br />
Keep your heart on the right course.<br />
Declaration:<br />
By the authority of Christ, I set you free from every cycle of disappointment that has held you captive. You will enter into 2015 liberated from discouragement in the name of Jesus. You will have a testimony of the goodness of the Lord before the end of 2014. I declare your family, your business, your investments free from disappointment. Shout your loudest Amen.<br />
As a sign of love, I want you to also pray this prayer for a love one<br />

<br />
More than 200 Muslim youth volunteers are part of those protecting Christians during church services to celebrate this year’s Christmas in Kaduna, says Pastor Yohanna Buru.<br />
<br />
Buru, a cleric of Christ Evangelical Church, Sabon Tasha, Kaduna South, disclosed this in an interview with pressmen in Kaduna.<br />
<br />
He confirmed that over 200 Muslims were at his church to help protect the faithful from any attack during the church service.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
According to him, the feat is the first of its kind after the series of crises that rocked the state in recent past.<br />
“I really appreciate their love and care,’’ said the cleric.<br />
<br />
Buru said the essence of that was to protect the Christian worshippers as part of effort to strengthen peaceful co-existence between Muslims and Christians in the state.<br />
<br />
The pastor expressed happiness over the protection given to them by the Muslim brothers.<br />
He noted the initiative was an indication that peace has come to stay in the state, saying the measure will strengthen a lasting peace between the two religions.<br />
<br />
He also prayed God to continue to bring about peace in the country the country, praying that other citizens would emulate the gesture.<br />
<br />
He urged Nigerians to learn to live in peace with one another irrespective of ethnic or religious differences.<br />
The cleric said that peace was a major panacea to the positive development of any nation. (NAN)<br />

This is the story of Pastor Ayodele Joseph Oritsejafor’s crusade against members of the Jama’atu Ahliss-Sunnah Lidda’awati Wal Jihad, otherwise known as Boko Haram. It is also the story of a crusade which foresaw the dangers that this group constituted at a time when the Federal Government of Nigeria chose to play footsy.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
It is a story mired by governmental incompetence and a lack of proper grounding in the art of statecraft. It was a passionate plea to the United States of America’s House of Representatives’ Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Human Rights. This plea was made on July 10, 2012 – a time when the activities of the terror group had not attained madness of gargantuan proportions.<br />
Chairman Smith and Members of the Subcommittee, I want to thank you for the opportunity today to address this committee and for your interest in the situation in the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and especially the increase in terrorist attacks targeting Christians and Christian Institutions. Just this last weekend, 58 people were killed in Christian villages in Jos, including a federal senator and a state lawmaker.<br />
<br />
boko-abducted-girlsBoko Haram already claimed responsibility for these coordinated attacks against the Christian community in Jos, and they also reaffirmed their earlier position saying that “for Christians in Nigeria to know peace they must accept Islam as the only true religion.” Boko Haram is not a northern problem, but a Nigerian problem with global implications. Nigeria is not a country divided by North and South, but a country divided between those who support freedom and equality in the eyes of the law, and those who promote persecution and violence as a means to an end. To an outside observer it may appear as though Boko Haram is not a monolithic group; that it is fragmented and disorganized, I am here today to give you the Nigerian perspective. Since its creation, the Boko Haram network has never hidden its agenda or intentions. Boko Haram has openly stated that they reject the Nigerian State and its Constitution and seek to impose Shari’ah Law. To this end, Boko Haram has waged a systematic campaign of terror and violence. They seek an end to western influence and a removal of the Christian presence in Nigeria.<br />
<br />
This is outright terrorism, not legitimate political activity or the airing of grievances. By refusing to designate Boko Haram as a foreign terrorist organization, the United States is sending a very clear message, not just to the Federal Government of Nigeria, but to the world – that the murder of innocent Christians, and Muslims who reject Islamism, and I make a clear distinction here between Islam and Islamism, are acceptable losses. It is hypocritical for the United States and the international community to say that they believe in freedom and equality, when their actions do not support those who are being persecuted. A non-designation for the group only serves to hamper the cause of justice, and has emboldened Boko Haram to continue to strike out at those who are denied equal protection under the law.<br />
<br />
The frequency, lethality and sophistication of Boko Haram’s attacks raise disturbing questions regarding training and logistical support they have received from other like minded international terrorist networks. In January 2012 the United Nations Security Council published a report stating that Boko Haram members from Nigeria received training in AQIM camps located in Mali and Chad during the summer of 2011. That same summer Boko Haram carried out a bold terrorist attack against the United Nations building in Abuja. Boko Haram did not hesitate in claiming responsibility for the attack, nor has it ever hesitated in claiming responsibility for its ongoing attacks against police, military, local businesses, and increasingly churches and Christian institutions.<br />
In Nigeria, my people are dying every single day, and it is only a matter of time before the international terrorist links and anti-democratic Islamist agenda of Boko Haram turns its attention to the United States. In fact, this may already be a reality, in April of 2012 the NYPD learned that a U.S. resident living on the East Coast had sent surveillance, including maps and photographs of lower Manhattan and the Holland and Lincoln tunnels to an alleged member of Boko Haram based in Nigeria.<br />
<br />
State Department designated Boko Haram’s current leader; Abubaker Shekau and 2 others as “specially designated terrorists”, but fell short of designating the organization. This would be the equivalent of designating Bin Laden as a terrorist, but failing to designate Al Qaeda as a terrorist organization.<br />
<br />
Although I am aware that the designation of Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization is not the final solution to all of Nigeria’s problems, yet it is an important first step towards restoring the confidence of those who support freedom and equality in the eyes of the law.<br />
We too, want to have freedom, freedom of religion, freedom to worship as we choose without fear, we want to have justice, based in equality and not driven by discriminatory religious practices. Let me remind us that this is not about economics but about an ideology that has a history of sponsoring genocide based on religious intolerance across the globe. As Boko Haram increasingly turns towards genocide through the systematic targeting of Christians and Christian institutions in pursuit of its goals, history will not forget the actions or the inactions of your great nation. I thank you for this opportunity and I look forward to continuing our strong partnership with America.<br />

There are many prophecies and promises in our lives that haven't manifested yet. Today (Day 3) we are tackling the Spirit of Delay.<br />
Day 3:<br />
Ezekiel 12:25 (KJV)<br />
For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God.<br />
Declaration:<br />
In the name of Jesus, I declare: let the cycle of delay break in your life, your family, your business and your nation. Let there be a divine acceleration and a performance of the word of the Lord concerning you between now and the 31st. 2015 shall be your year of divine acceleration for God's promises, in Jesus' name.<br />

A Nigerian spare parts trader based in Benin City, Festus Aimufua, has been detained by Edo state police command for allegedly murdering his middle-aged Austrian-based lover, Rose Aifuwa, who returned home for the Christmas and New Year holiday.<br />
The late Rose allegedly met her death on Christmas eve in the hands of the suspect when she went to demand for the redemption of debt running into millions of naira from the sale of goods she imported for him.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The suspect who resided at Upper Mission road by Aduwawa, in Ikpoba Okha local government area of the state, was said to have murdered the deceased at her residence located on Lucky Way in Benin, during a heated argument.<br />
It was gathered that Rose Aifuwa’s body was later found at the busy Upper Mission junction with several deep cuts and bruises.<br />
Nemesis was said to have caught up with the suspect after he reported the incident to the Ikpoba Hill Police Division, claiming to have killed the deceased by accident. He was promptly apprehended by men of the division.<br />
A resident of the area who alleged that she woke up on Christmas day to find the corpse of the woman, told journalists on condition of anonymity that the deceased was dragged on the floor of a tarred road for about 400 metres, tied to the back of a bus.<br />
“I didn’t open my shop on that day because it was Christmas day. But when I came out that morning, I saw people shouting. So, I quickly rushed to the spot where I saw a dead woman with deeps cuts everywhere.<br />
“The woman looked like someone who was not living in Nigeria. I thought she was a victim of ritualists but I heard people saying that she was killed by her boyfriend who tied her to his bus and dragged her from her house in Lucky Way to the junction.<br />
“I really felt bad because she had a hole in her back and her intestines came out because of how she was dragged and I could not even looked at the face of her brother who came to buy something this morning (Saturday) because he was very angry”, he said.<br />
<br />
Another resident who also did not want his name in print, described the murder of the deceased as barbaric, faulted claims by the suspect that the deceased fell from a moving bus.<br />
“I think the police should not believe that because there were cuts in her body as if she was butchered. It is evil for someone to kill another who came back home to celebrate the Christmas with her family,” he said.<br />
Spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, DSP Joseph Edoigiawerie, who confirmed the incident on telephone, said the case has been reported by a relation of the deceased and would be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department.<br />
“A case of murder was reported by one Elvis Omokhojie, that his sister, named Rose Aifuwa, was found lying down on Upper Mission extension junction, Aduwawa in Benin City, and the cause of death unknown.<br />
“We have been to the scene of incident and taken the corpse to the mortuary.<br />
“Our investigation led to the arrest of the man friend or lover because according to the report, he (the suspect) was last seen with her,” he said.<br />

The Head Pastor of the International God's Way Church, Bishop Daniel Obinim has described as “acts of jealousy” the avalanche of criticisms that followed his stomping of a lady during a deliverance session at his church.<br />
<br />
According to the controversial pastor, the act was a direction from God, which has been misconstrued by some Ghanaians.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
A recent video of Bishop Obinim stomping on a pregnant woman in an exorcism session went viral on social media and attracted a deluge of flak against him.<br />
<br />
Christian groups in the country have jointly condemned him (Obinim) for the act.<br />
<br />
“We are concerned about reports and incidents of religious excesses that have come to be associated with some ministers of God in Ghana in recent times.<br />
<br />
“We condemn in no uncertain terms religious abuses such as pastors stomping on pregnant women,” the groups said in a joint statement.<br />
<br />
However, in a reaction, Obinim told his congregation in a service broadcast on TV that his critics are merely jealous of his gift as an evangelist of God.<br />
<br />
He denied claims that the lady in the video was pregnant as of the time she came to him for deliverance.<br />
<br />
“There is jealousy in this world and some pastors who have no idea of what the issue is, are just jumping on radio stations and criticizing me”.<br />
<br />
“What kind of jealousy is going on in this town. Won’t Ghana be better off if all pastors are being used like the way God is using me? If I were their relative, would they have spoken about me in that manner?” he wondered.<br />
<br />
In his view, calls for his arrest over the incident is baseless and borne out of ignorance.<br />

An AirAsia Indonesia airliner flying from Indonesia to Singapore with 162 people on board has lost contact with air traffic control.<br />
<br />
Flight QZ8501 went missing at 07:24 (23:24 GMT), AirAsia tweeted.<br />
<br />
The plane, an Airbus A320-200, disappeared midway into the flight of more than two hours and no distress call was issued.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Indonesian military planes and aircraft from Singapore are searching an area of the Java Sea.<br />
<br />
The flight left the Indonesian city of Surabaya in eastern Java at 05:20 local time (22:20 GMT) and was due to arrive in Singapore at 08:30 (00:30 GMT).<br />
<br />
The missing jet had requested a "deviation" from the flight path due to bad weather, AirAsia said.<br />
<br />
Indonesia's transport ministry said the pilot had asked permission to climb to 38,000 ft (11,000m) to avoid thick cloud.<br />
<br />
AirAsia, a budget airline which owns 49% of AirAsia Indonesia, is based in Malaysia and has never lost a plane.<br />
<br />
However, 2014 has been a difficult year for aviation in Asia: Malaysia's national carrier Malaysia Airlines has suffered two losses - flights MH370 and MH17.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Emergency contact</b><br />
There were 155 passengers on board, the company said in a statement:<br />
<br />
138 adults, 16 children and one infant<br />
Two pilots and five cabin crew were also on board<br />
Most on board were Indonesian<br />
Six were from other countries: three South Koreans and one French, Malaysian and Singaporean.<br />
The UK Foreign Office has confirmed that one Briton was on board the flight, and next of kin have been informed.<br />
<br />
AirAsia has set up an emergency line for family or friends of those who may be on board. The number is +622 129 850 801.<br />
<br />
Dozens of passengers' relatives have been gathering at Juanda airport in Surabaya and Singapore's Changi airport to hear news.<br />
<br />
AirAsia's Chief Executive Tony Fernandes tweeted: "Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. We must stay strong."<br />
<br />
AirAsia Indonesia operates domestic flights round the Indonesian archipelago as well as international services to Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and Thailand.<br />
<br />
AirAsia Indonesia was banned from flying to the European Union in 2007 due to safety concerns but this was lifted in July 2010.<br />
<br />
<br />
Captain Desmond Ross, a former pilot, says the plane vanished in an area "well covered by radar"<br />
The latest incident caps a tragic year for Malaysian aviation with the disappearance of one Malaysia Airlines plane and the downing of another.<br />
<br />
Flight MH370 disappeared on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March with 239 passengers and crew. The wreckage, thought to be in southern Indian Ocean, has still not been located.<br />
<br />
MH17 was shot down over Ukraine in July, killing all 298 on board.<br />

<br />
Winter is a dormant season. It's a time when trees become bare and most of the grass, plants and flowers die off. But winter is also a time of preparation—as roots and tree saps respond to soil and temperature changes to prepare for growth that comes in the spring.<br />
<br />
In much the same way, you and I go through spiritually dormant seasons. These are the seasons when God seems silent…when our dreams and visions for the future seem lifeless. But although we may not see or feel anything exciting, it doesn't mean nothing is happening. A lot has to happen on the inside of us before we are ready to handle the future God has for us.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Just as winter prepares plants and trees for warmer weather, a spiritually dormant season is a time of preparation – when our inner character is developed and strengthened. Strong character is essential for withstanding storms that will come during seasons of growth and harvest. I find there are a lot of people who have the gifts and talents to take them somewhere exciting, but if they don't have strong, Christlike character, all the talent in the world won't keep them there.<br />
<br />
God has something planned for you, and if you're not living in the fulfillment of His plan for you, then now is the season of preparation. Rest assured, you're not alone. We all go through times like this. The Bible tells us that even Jesus needed time to grow and increase in wisdom, stature and in years before He was ready to make a global impact through His three-year ministry (Luke 2:52).<br />
<br />
Here are three insights I've learned that can help you make progress toward your goals, plans and visions during dormant seasons.<br />
<br />
Examine your motives<br />
<br />
When God first called me to teach His Word, I wasn't doing it just because I had a deep desire to help people. I wanted to be somebody. I had problems from my past and was unaware of how insecure I was. I didn't realize how much I got my sense of worth and value out of what I did. And because of it, my motives were way out of line with how God wanted me to be.<br />
<br />
It seems that many people don't really know themselves and understand why they do what they do. Self-deception is easy to fall into, and one of the hardest things to face. But when we are willing to face the truth about ourselves and examine our motives, God will help us change for the better and get on track with His will for our lives.<br />
<br />
Get out of your comfort zone.<br />
<br />
Before we can move forward into a new thing, we usually have to let go of something we've been doing awhile. God nudges us outside of our comfort zones toward unfamiliar experiences to encourage us to rely on Him. And all too often, we try to hang on to what is familiar before we have confidence that the new thing is right for us. We wrestle with ourselves, wondering if we really heard from God or if we can really trust Him.<br />
If you keep one foot where you are while the other foot stretches toward someplace new, you will eventually lose your footing and fall over. God wants us to trust Him by doing what He wants us to do and going where He wants us to go. We must learn to let go of what we have before we take hold of something new, and learn to rely on God to meet all our needs.<br />
<br />
Embrace discipline<br />
<br />
The Bible tells us that "no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it" (Hebrews 12:11 AMP). Discipline isn't fun, but it is essential for our character development.<br />
<br />
Self-discipline is a fruit of the Spirit that requires time to develop properly. Self-discipline is developed when we do the right thing consistently, over and over again for a long time. It may include paying off debts, not over-spending, getting proper nutrition and exercise, changing the way you speak about yourself and others, and spending quality time with God and in His Word every day. As you become disciplined in every area of your life, you will be better equipped to handle bigger responsibilities in the future.<br />
<br />
God has amazing plans for your life! He wants you to fulfill your dreams and live a life of blessing, hope and promise. I hope you're encouraged today. You will get there – as long as you are willing to do your part and trust God to do His part. And the more you lean on and trust in Him through that process, the sooner you'll be ready for whatever He has prepared for you.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15030377340330563237noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445064867683018485.post-43585535525570839162014-12-27T15:42:00.003-08:002014-12-27T15:42:42.182-08:00Pope gunman Mehmet Ali Agca visits John Paul II's grave<img alt="Mehmet Ali Agca holding a wreath of flowers on St. Peter's square in The Vatican from Adnkronos TV on 27 December 2014" height="179" src="http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/79951000/jpg/_79951803_025220784-1.jpg" width="320" /><br />
The Turkish man who shot and injured former Pope John Paul II in 1981 has laid flowers on the late pontiff's tomb in the Vatican.<br />
<br />
Mehmet Ali Agca told police he felt he needed to make the gesture, Italian media report.<br />

<br />
It comes 31 years to the day that the Pope visited Agca in prison and forgave him for the attempt on his life.<br />
<br />
Agca served 19 years in an Italian jail for shooting the Pope twice at close range. His motive remains a mystery.<br />
<br />
He spent another 10 years in prison in Turkey on charges related to the earlier murder of a newspaper editor.<br />
<br />
Agca, 56, laid white roses at the tomb of the late Pope on Saturday, in his first visit to the Vatican since his attack on John Paul II on 13 May 1981.<br />
<br />
The Pope was left seriously injured, with one bullet passing through his abdomen and another narrowly missing his heart.<br />
<br />
Vatican officials have for a second time denied Agca's request for a face-to-face meeting with Pope Francis.<br />

The former football star George Weah has won a landslide victory in Liberia's senate elections, in polls disrupted by the Ebola outbreak. Mr Weah got 78% of the vote for the Montserrado county seat, which includes the capital Monrovia. He beat Robert Sirleaf, the son of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who took nearly 11%. Low turnout in the poll, which was first planned for October, was blamed on concerns about Ebola. Strict health controls were in place to try to prevent the spread of the disease.<br />

<br />
Those who came to polling stations had their temperature taken, were told to stand a metre (3ft) apart and wash their hands before and after voting. Liberia has been one of the countries worst affected by Ebola, with almost 3,400 deaths, the UN says. Other winners in the senate elections include Jewel Howard-Taylor, the ex-wife of the jailed former president Charles Taylor, and the former rebel leader Prince Johnson. Both retained their seats.<br />
<br />
The National Elections Commission chairman, Jerome Korkoya, called the conclusion of the vote "the end of a crucial journey". Mr Weah won the first round of the 2005 presidential election, losing the runoff to Ms Johnson-Sirleaf.<br />
