See, abeg.. If you don't have a point, just keep quiet.

The pastor said 'ONLY those who pay tithe are qualified to receive blessing'

Tithe is for the levitical priesthood. It is different from offering or charitable deeds. I'm on the point of the pastor. I know the other things Jesus said.

No one is asking them not to pause mavro gh but they should have come clean. I saw it on their twitter that there would be gh pause during the christmas and new year period. Fee days ago, the admin announced that there wont be any pause and encourage members to participate. They enticed people with 20usd bonus. And now the story has changed.

The media is going to hijack everything. I believe they are very intelligent and know what will come their way. So they choose the media and Nigerians to do the killing by themselves. We will not blame them. People will point accusing finger on the media and government whike they run away

,why would they run away,are they the one hold your or any participants money,think well its for the participant benefit, your money is intact you will GH as soon as they unfreeze it,you are only giving the media power by doing this,don't panic,talk to your guider instead

President Muhammadu Buhari has
debunked rumours that he and the
leadership of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), are at loggerheads
with the National leader of the Party,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
In a statement released by his Senior
Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, Buhari
said such rumours were unfounded and
mischievous.
He insisted that he was in constant
communication with Tinubu before,
during and after the Ondo governorship
election last weekend.
Buhari hailed Tinubu as a priceless
political asset to the party and said the
presidency and APC leadership was not
working to destroy the former Governor
of Lagos state
The statement read: “President Buhari
commended Tinubu’s spirit of
comradeship in promptly congratulating
Rotimi Akeredolu who was elected
Governor.
“The President also noted that at a time
his administration is preoccupied with
governance issues, rumours of divisions
and alleged scheming within the party
are counterproductive to internal unity
and cohesion in APC.”
He also appealed to APC members and
supporters to ignore rumours that could
harm the ruling party’s unity.

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – Four journalists from a Danish gossip magazine were sentenced to up to 15 months in prison on Thursday for paying for credit card data to help track politicians, celebrities and members of the royal family. An employee of the credit card company Nets got 18 months for selling information between 2008 and 2012 that revealed the whereabouts of prominent people such as Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Hannibal-actor Mads Mikkelsen. The leaks enabled the weekly magazine Se & Hor to follow Prince Joachim and his wife on what was meant to be a secret honeymoon to Canada in 2008, after it bought data about the couple’s plane tickets from the Nets system operator. The media group that owns the magazine was fined 10 million Danish crowns ($1.52 million) last August for the covert monitoring of more than 120 celebrities. Two of its former managers were given suspended six-month sentences. “ This case has drawn a clear line in the sand, leaving no doubt that stealing and selling confidential information is criminal offense,” Nets spokesman Karsten Anker Petersen said. One of the monitored celebrities, Rene Dif of the Danish-Norwegian music group Aqua, was unhappy with the trial’s results for the journalists. “These short sentences shows how ridiculous the Danish justice system is,” he told TV2 local television. “There is no reason for people to be allowed to snoop around like this,” said Dif, whose group topped the charts worldwide with its hit “Barbie Girl” in 1997. The four journalists said they would consider appealing the verdict.

A ccording to recent reports, an intruder broke into a home in Monroe, Washington and began stabbing a 75- year-old man. Fortunately, his 80-year- old wife was home and took matters into her own hands. The woman reportedly grabbed her gun, walked into the room, and shot the man who was stabbing her husband. The 25-year-old criminal died at the scene. After the woman shot the intruder, she called 911. Her husband was taken to nearby Harborview Medical Center, where he is now in stable condition. Authorities discovered the intruder had a long criminal history. It is fortunate that the woman had a firearm in her home and had been trained to use it. If she had waited for police to arrive, her husband likely would have died. Major crimes is investigating the incident. If this woman is charged with any crime for protecting her home and family, it will be an outrage to those who understand the vital importance of our Second Amendment rights.

You'll never look at a banana the same
way again after discovering the many
health benefits and reasons to add them
to your diet. Bananas combat
depression, make you smarter, cure
hangovers, relieve morning sickness,
protect against kidney cancer, diabetes,
osteoporosis, and blindness. They can
cure the itch of a mosquito bite and put
a great shine on your shoes. Here are
25 reasons to eat bananas you might
have never considered before.
If You Think Bananas Are Just For
Monkeys, Think Again
These 25 ways to use and eat bananas
will blow your mind!

1. Bananas help overcome
depression due to high levels of
tryptophan, which is converted
into serotonin -- the happy-mood
brain neurotransmitter.

2. Eat two bananas before a
strenuous workout to pack an
energy punch and sustain your
blood sugar.

3. Protect against muscle cramps
during workouts and night time
leg cramps by eating a banana.

4. Counteract calcium loss during
urination and build strong bones
by supplementing with a banana.

5. Improve your mood and reduce
PMS symptoms by eating a
banana, which regulates blood
sugar and produces stress-
relieving relaxation.

6. Bananas reduce swelling, protect
against type II diabetes , aid
weight loss, strengthen the
nervous system, and help with
the production of white blood
cells, all due to high levels of
vitamin B-6.

7. Strengthen your blood and relieve
anemia with the added iron from
bananas.

8. High in potassium and low in
salt, bananas are officially
recognized by the FDA as being
able to lower blood pressure and
protect against heart attack and
stroke.
Eating Bananas Aids Digestion

1. Rich in pectin, bananas aid
digestion and gently chelate
toxins and heavy metals from the
body.

2. Bananas act as a prebiotic,
stimulating the growth of friendly
bacteria in the bowel. They also
produce digestive enzymes to
assist in absorbing nutrients.

3. Constipated? High fiber in
bananas can help normalize
bowel motility.

4. Got the runs? Bananas are
soothing to the digestive tract
and help restore lost electrolytes
after diarrhea.

5. Bananas are a natural antacid,
providing relief from acid reflux,
heartburn, and GERD.

6. Bananas are the only raw fruit
that can be consumed without
distress to relieve stomach ulcers
by coating the lining of the
stomach against corrosive acids.
Natural Cures From A Simple Banana

1. Eating bananas will help prevent
kidney cancer, protects the eyes
against macular degeneration
and builds strong bones by
increasing calcium absorption.

2. Bananas make you smarter and
help with learning by making you
more alert. Eat a banana before
an exam to benefit from the high
levels of potassium.

3. Bananas are high in antioxidants,
providing protection from free
radicals and chronic disease.

4. Eating a banana between meals
helps stabilize blood sugar and
reduce nausea from morning
sickness.

5. Rub a bug bite or hives with the
inside of the banana peel to
relieve itching and irritation.

6. Control blood sugar and avoid
binging between meals by eating
a banana.

7. Eating a banana can lower the
body temperature and cool you
during a fever or on a hot day

8. The natural mood-enhancer
tryptophan helps to relieve
Seasonal Affective Disorder
(SAD).

9. Quitting smoking? Bananas
contain high levels of B-vitamins
as well as potassium and
magnesium to speed recovery
from the effects of withdrawal.

10. Remove a wart by placing the
inside of a piece of banana peel
against the wart and taping it in
place.

11. Rub the inside of a banana peel
on your leather shoes or handbag
and polish with a dry cloth for a
quick shine.

Oh, and remember -- bananas make
great snacks and delicious smoothies.

Facebook Inc, facing withering criticism
for failing to stem a flood of phony news
articles in the run-up to the U.S.
presidential election, is taking a series of
steps to weed out hoaxes and other
types of false information, chief
executive Mark Zuckerberg said in a
Facebook post Friday evening.
Facebook has long insisted that it is a
technology company and not a
publisher, and rejects the idea that it
should be held responsible for the
content that its users circulate on the
platform. Just after the election,
Zuckerberg said the notion that fake or
misleading news on Facebook had
helped swing the election to Donald
Trump was a "crazy idea."
Zuckerberg then said last Saturday that
more than 99 percent of what people
see on Facebook is authentic, calling
"only a very small amount" fake news
and hoaxes.
But in his Friday posting Zuckerberg
struck a decidedly different tone. He
said Facebook has been working on the
issue of misinformation for a long time,
calling the problem complex both
technically and philosophically.
.
"While the percentage of misinformation
is relatively small, we have much more
work ahead on our roadmap,"
Zuckerberg said.
He outlined a series of steps that were
already underway, including greater use
of automation to "detect what people
will flag as false before they do it
themselves."
He also said Facebook would make it
easier to report false content, work with
third-party verification organizations
and journalists on fact-checking efforts,
and explore posting warning labels on
content that has been flagged as false.
The company will also try to prevent
fake-news providers from making
money through its advertising system,
as it had previously announced.
Zuckerberg said Facebook must be
careful not to discourage sharing of
opinions or mistakenly restricting
accurate content. "We do not want to be
arbiters of truth ourselves, but instead
rely on our community and trusted third
parties," he said.
Facebook historically has relied on
users to report links as false and share
links to myth-busting sites, including
Snopes, to determine if it can
confidently classify stories as
misinformation, Zuckerberg said. The
service has extensive "community
standards" on what kinds of content are
acceptable.
Facebook faced international outcry
earlier this year after it removed an
iconic Vietnam War photo due to nudity,
a decision that was later reversed. The
thorniest content issues are decided by
a group of top executives at Facebook,
and there have been extensive internal
conversations at the company in recent
months over content controversies,
people familiar with the discussions
say.
Among the fake news reports that
circulated ahead of the U.S. election
were reports erroneously alleging Pope
Francis had endorsed Trump and that a
federal agent who had been
investigating Democratic candidate
Hillary Clinton was found dead.

President Obama said he doesn't expect major changes in Latin American policy under the Trump administration, and urged people to "not make immediate judgments" until the president-elect puts his team together. "Don't just assume the worst. Wait until the new administration is in place, is putting its policies forward, and then you can make your own judgments," Obama told a group of 1,000 young leaders from around the Americas in Peru on Saturday. "There are going to be tensions that arise, probably more about trade more than anything else," he said. But even there, Obama said he's not convinced Donald Trump would tear up trade deals, as the president-elect promised on the campaign trail. "Once they look at how it's working, I think they’ll conclude that it’s working both for the United States and its trading partners." Obama's comments Saturday, during his final stop on what's scheduled to be the last foreign trip of his presidency, followed a pattern of trying to give Trump space to adopt what Obama hopes are more conventional policies. In Europe this week, Obama reassured allies Trump would maintain the U.S. commitment to NATO, and he'll likely have a similar message for Pacific Rim leaders at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Peru on Sunday.

"When you’re campaigning, you're trying to stir up passions. When you govern, you have reality in front of you, and you have to figure out how to make this work." On trade, for example, Obama said the 2009 Peru Trade Promotion Agreement has benefited the United States by ensuring that workers aren't undercut by abusive labor practices in Peru, but also allowing Peruvian workers to be customers for U.S. products. "We did it also because that will help lift the wages and benefits and protections that workers here in Peru have," he said. "Then they have more money in their pockets, then they go out an spend that money, which is good for business and everybody is better off." Obama also met Saturday with the 11 other leaders from countries in the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade agreement in limbo now that its largest signatory, the United States, appears unlikely to ratify. But the White House said Obama used the meeting to urge the other countries to press forward on "high-standard trade agreements."

Pastor Lucy Okoh is the wife of Pastor Antoni Okoh, General Overseer of Sovereign Word Church, which has its branches in Lagos and Abuja, South Africa and USA. The church came into limelight in the mid-90s through its special crusade titled: ‘It’s Your Day of Recovery,’ where many healing and miracles were recorded. In this interview with ESTHER BAKARE, she bares her mind on factors affecting marriage, the ministry and how to keep the church growing When did the church start? It started over 20 years ago here in Lagos. How did you meet your husband? I used to know him then as his school’s fellowship leader. My own secondary school fellowship was called YWCA at St. Margarethen College, Benin. One day, his own fellowship was having a programme at Immaculate Conception College and we were invited. The programme had to do with a camp meeting and I needed to get permission from my parents in order for me to attend. I looked-for someone to help me talk to them to allow me go and because he was a calm and understanding person, I approached him to help me out. It was at that point we became friends and we started talking. What was the attraction between the two of you? Well, I would say his calmness and for the fact that he has listening ears and quite an understanding gentleman. Did you have any premonition that the relationship would lead to marriage? When we were friends, I think we were going to be a couple because we were attracted to each other. The friendship grew into love but not love at first sight. Although I was in secondary school then and he had completed his own secondary school, but he was still holding fellowship in schools around. We, however, became close friends and the feelings later developed. I actually wanted someone who had listening ears and that gave me the confidence to go to him initially. Did you foresee him becoming a pastor in later years ? No, because he went into business and had a registered company where he did some jobs with Delta Steel Company but even at that, he was fully involved in the ministry. He had a break for a while before going into full time ministry. What happened was that he knew the calling was there but was ignoring it until later. How did the ministry eventually start? We got married after I graduated from the University of Benin where I read Sociology and Social Works and moved to Lagos. The ministry actually started in our apartment with two of his friends who were in the same fellowship with him back then in Benin but had relocated to Lagos before us. How challenging was it at the beginning? It wasn’t really interesting at the beginning, especially when he told me he was quitting business for full time ministry; it wasn’t something I was prepared for be cause I was contented with him being a business man. It had been my dream to marry a business man because I believe businessmen are easy going people; they don’t stress their wives so much and they will be easier to cope with. When he told me he was quitting business I didn’t like it initially. However, because I loved him, I was willing to go along with him. It wasn’t really a problem for me agreeing with him on the issue of full time ministry because of the love I had for him. Were there any financial challenges at the beginning? Of course there were, especially in the area of paying rent for the hall we used for service. But my husband was very pushful. At a time, he had to sell his only car to fund the ministry. What helped us out was that before then, God led us to our spiritual father and mother in persons of Pastor Taiwo and the Late Pastor Bimbo Odukoya who played a great role in our ministry in terms of encouragement; they were quite supportive to the ministry. What is the main thrust of Sovereign Word Church? The main thrust is healing and deliverance as well as prophetic utterances from the mouth of God’s servant. What major event launched the ministry out? It was a crusade we had in the 90s where a lot of healings were performed at the National Stadium, Surulere; it was one of the major events that God used to launch us into the healing ministry. For instance, there was a case of a woman with issue of blood, by the time she came for the programme, we had already closed. Apparently, she thought it was a night vigil so she came in the night and decided to sleep at the altar where she knelt down and prayed and the following morning, her flow stopped and she came to share the testimony. That was the crusade that gave birth to our popular healing programme ‘It’s Your Day of Recovery”. But the recent one making waves is the issue of a man with kidney problem whose kidney had already packed up, Daddy located him through the word of prophecy and prayed for him and he kept coming to church and after some weeks, he went back to the hospital for medical check-up and doctors asked him what kind of drugs he used that had restored his kidney to normal. You said you’ve been married to Pastor Anthony Okoh for about 25 years. What has kept your marriage going all these years? From the beginning, I knew him as a businessman, but I wasn’t after his money or business. I loved him for who he is irrespective of what was happening around him then. My love for God and willingness to obey His word because God commanded wives to submit to their husbands and I have consistently submitted to him and willing to go along with him. I also believed the grace of God has worked for us. On his own side, he’s a loving husband who obeys the word of God that says, ‘Husbands love your wives.’ He is also a responsible man and a responsible father who has the fear of God in him and these have kept us going. We know when to say no or Yes to something and we also hold unto God’s word. What is your advice to couples on how to keep their marriage ? Every couple should be able to resist the devil because when you give him a foot he takes 10, when you give him a step, he takes a mile. What do you think affect marriages these days? Many of the things that couples believed at the beginning of their relationship, they begin to allow them to fizzle out because of the challenges of life that they are facing. The devil will always test everyone’s faith because he tempted our Lord Jesus Christ also and he could tempt anybody but when those temptations come, some couples allow the word of God to fizzle away and are overcome by the temptation, instead they must at every point in time allow the word of God to guide them. What about cases of wives of General Overseers staying abroad while their husband’s ministry is based here in Nigeria all in the name of expansion? I don’t support wives staying apart from their husbands irrespective of their husband’s anointing, it could give room to temptation. Even the Bible does not encourage that. 2Corinthians 7:5 emphasised that couples should not stay apart from each other that if there need for that due to fasting, then it should be for a while and after mutual consent. By the time the wife is staying abroad and temptation comes as a result of weakness of the flesh, how does the husband cope? The Bible also says we should resist the devil. To me it’s not achievable but that does not mean it’s not possible depending on the couple but wisdom demands that they should avoid such a temptation. To avoid temptation, it is better you have your spouse with you and if you have to stay away, then it should be for a while and with agreement on how both of you will be communicating effectively with each other so that you don’t give room to loneliness. How do you feel losing members ? No one feels good about it. Members are like one’s spiritual children, so when you lose any member, of course, you feel bad. Sometimes, the devil is after them and will want to drive them away from their place of blessing to distract them from where they will find solution to their problems. Due to impatience, dissatisfaction or one thing or the other, they leave. The church is God’s work, the Bible says ‘I will build my church and the gate of hell will not prevail against it and once you believe it’s God’s work, leave it for Him’. He will do His work there should be no gimmicks about it, He knows how to bring members. Some of them leave for one reason or the other but God’s work continues. What about prosperity messages that pastors are preaching at the expense of salvation? Prosperity is of God. The Bible says the love of money is the root of evil and not money itself. Money is especially needed to preach the gospel, prosperity is part of you living your life abundantly. There is nothing wrong in preaching prosperity. If the Kingdom of God must expand we need prosperity, the people of God must be blessed to spread the kingdom.

that's what happen when you can pray or think but waiting for a prophet to tell you every activities of your life,
