The newly appointed commander of Iran's elite Quds Force said the United States killed his predecessor, Qassem Soleimani, "in a cowardly way" and promised to "hit his enemy in a manly fashion". Esmail Qaani made the remarks on Monday at an introduction ceremony held for him by top Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) commanders to mark the formal beginning of his tenure. "They [US] hit him [Soleimani] in a cowardly way, but with God's grace and through endeavours of freedom-seekers around the world who want vengeance over his blood, we will hit his enemy in a manly fashion," he said. Soleimani's assassination in a US air strike in Baghdad on January 3 pushed the US and Iran to the brink of war, but fears of an all-out conflict eased when retaliatory Iranian strikes against US targets in Iraq on January 8 concluded without any fatalities. Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei has since called for the expulsion of all American troops from the Middle East. IRGC The Quds Force is part of the 125,000-strong IRGC, a paramilitary organisation that answers only to Khamenei. IRGC oversees Iran's ballistic missile programme, has its naval forces shadow the US Navy in the Gulf, and includes an all-volunteer Basij force. Under Soleimani, the Quds Force helped boost Iranian influence across the Middle East by building up a vast network of proxies. In Syria, the unit played a key role in shoring up support for embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad after the country descended into war in 2011. It also armed and trained militias that helped defeat the armed group ISIL (ISIS) in both Syria and Iraq. Khamenei, while announcing Qaani's appointment, said the Quds Force's new chief was "among the most prominent IRGC commanders" during the 1980-1988 war between Iran and Iraq, adding the unit under the veteran soldier will follow an "identical" strategy to that pursued by Soleimani. At the slain commander's funeral days later, Qaani, 62, pledged to continue on his predecessor's path "with the same force" saying his assassination "will be reciprocated in several steps by removing the US from the region". Qaani's tenure Born in the late 1950s in the city of Mashhad in northeast Iran, Qaani joined the IRGC in 1980, a few months before Iraqi forces invaded western Iran, triggering a bloody eight-year war that killed about one million people. Soon after the war, Qaani was appointed as deputy chief of the IRGC's ground forces. Although it is unclear when Qaani joined the Quds Force, Iran's state news agency IRNA said he was appointed as the unit's deputy in 1997, the same year that Soleimani was named its commander. With a clear division of labour and maintaining geographically distinct spheres of influence, Soleimani and Qaani together played a strategic role in expanding Iran's influence in neighbouring nations. In the few public statements Qaani has made, he slammed the United States and Israel and said in a 2017 article that US President Donald Trump's "threats against Iran will damage America". In 2012, the US sanctioned Qaani citing his role in financial disbursements to the Quds Force's "elements in Africa" and other "terrorist groups". https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/iran-quds-force-leader-vows-manly-revenge-soleimani-200120144819073.html Lalasticlala |

Donald Trump could order airstrikes on Iran from the British overseas territory of Diego Garcia without asking for permission from the UK government, Downing Street acknowledged on Tuesday. The US deployed six long-range B-52 bombers to the Indian Ocean base as part of its preparations for possible conflict with Iran in the aftermath of the killing of Qassim Soleimani. No orders have been given yet to strike but Mr Trump has threatened to hit 52 Iranian targets, including cultural heritage sites, if Iran attacks US forces in retaliation for Soleimani’s death. The US runs a secretive air base from Diego Garcia and the British government has little to no control on what operations the American military runs from the island. Downing Street admitted that Mr Trump could order strikes on Iran from the island without seeking permission from Britain. “It is provided for under existing agreements,” a spokesman said. Diego Garcia is the site of a secretive US military base CREDIT: REUTERS The base on Diego Garcia is 2,400 miles from southern Iran, meaning it is within flying range for the strategic American bombers but beyond the reach of most Iranian missiles. Diego Garcia is the largest of a string of small islands that Britain retained control of in the 1960s even as it granted independence to other islands that would become the nation of Mauritius. Britain said it was necessary to retain control of the islands for security reasons. Diego Garcia was leased to the US soon after and the American military has since built a sprawling military facility on the island. The CIA used the territory at least twice in 2002 to transport detainees between “black site” interrogation centres in the aftermath of September 11. The UK government at first denied any involvement in the US “extraordinary rendition” programme before eventually acknowledging that Diego Garcia was used as a transport hub. The Pentagon has sent around 3,500 additional soldiers to the Middle East since Iranian-backed militias briefly laid siege to the US embassy in Baghdad last week. A total of around 14,000 additional US troops have been sent to the region since tensions with Iran spiked in May and the US said it had evidence of Iranian plans to attack American ships in the Gulf. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/01/07/us-sends-b-52-bombers-british-territory-diego-garcia-iran-tensions/ |
11. Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.” Bolster yourself for the New Year with one of the Apostle Paul’s boldest statements. There is no reason to feel ashamed of the Gospel! So go into the New Year boldly proclaiming the Gospel to the world! Rely on the Spirit to lead you to people who are open to the truth, and share the good news of Jesus Christ to your neighbor, your co-worker, and those who need to know Jesus personally. 12. Ephesians 6:12-13 “ For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm." What a better verse for strength in the New Year than the one that calls us to take up the armor of God for victory in our spiritual battles? Every day is a chance for new triumphs over ourselves, over Satan, and for Christ. Our leader and Savior has won the great victory, and if we lean on Him, we shall have victory as well. Every day is a gift from the Lord, and His Word is one of our greatest tools for approaching the day with strength and victory. Turn to the Lord in all things, and He will carry you through the New Year. https://www.biblestudytools.com/bible-study/topical-studies/12-verses-to-kick-start-the-new-year.html |
8. 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” This verse is a great reminder for the New Year that God gifted His children with courage, power, love, and self-control. Often, people struggle to possess and embody these character traits. It need not be as difficult. Strive to rely on the Lord more this year for betterment. 9. 1 Chronicles 16:11 “Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!” Priorities can get thrown off by things that, in the grand scheme of eternity, are not very important. Be in God’s presence continually, at work, with family, alone, and during personal highs and lows. A New Year means new chances to seek God’s presence. 10. Mark 12:30-31 “ And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength...you shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.’” Some of the best sources of hope and strength are the words of Jesus Christ himself from the Gospels. This verse reminds us of what Christians are called to, which is to love the Lord and to love others. Refocusing on what God wants from us can help put the New Year in focus, and hep us re-evaluate our priorities |
5. Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Another good verse that can substitute as a New Year’s resolution. Often, getting stronger requires humility. This year, trust in God’s strength rather than your own. Follow the Lord’s path. Acknowledge God’s sovereignty this year and find spiritual renewal and purpose. 6. 1 Corinthians 15:56-57 “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the laws. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” While every person will die once, sin and death have no power over the people who have new life in Christ. When facing the New Year, walk into it with confidence knowing the battle is won! 7. 2 Corinthians 12:10 “For the sake of Christ, then I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” This year, some Christians will face persecution for their faith. It may be mockery or losing a job opportunity, or it may be loss of family and jail. No matter what may come, use everything and anything, including the hardships, to draw closer to and glorify the Lord Jesus. When we are little, God’s greatness shines brighter, and He cares for His own. |
3. Philippians 4:4-7 “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” What a wonderful reminder that Christians should always go to God praising Him, and can always go to Him with needs and requests. Especially after the rush of the holidays, resetting our minds to thank God and go to Him in thankfulness for another year is a great reminder, and seeking peace of God is a great New Year’s resolution. 4. Proverbs 27:23 “Know well the condition of your flocks, and give attention to your herds.” While there may not be many professional shepherds these days, the sentiment is nonetheless important today. In essence, it is a reminder to be responsible with that which God has blessed the individual. In the New Year, find the resolve to be more responsible with money, take better care of clothing, and value God’s blessings more. |
1. Lamentations 3:22-24 “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him.’” At the beginning of the year, it is good to be reminded that God is eternally merciful, and renews His love for us over and over again. He is our portion for our daily needs, and carrying that hope into the new year will provide strength and courage to face trials. 2. Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” The Lord is making a new creation in the believer. Whether or not that is immediately apparent, God is turning each one of His children into a more righteous individual. He will change circumstances as well. If things are bad right now, it will get better. If God can part the Red Sea, resurrect the dead, and put rivers in the desert, He can and will work all things for His children’s good and His glory. |
A new year, for many people, is a time to recommit themselves to long-standing goals. Whether you have New Year’s resolutions or not, it is a great time to dive deep into God’s Word. Some people pick a reading plan. Others find themes they want to explore. No matter what approach, the Bible is full of verses and promises that can be especially poignant and potent during at the start of a new calendar. Spiritually fortifying oneself at the beginning of the year can aid in rising to challenges, feeling the Holy Spirit, and growing closer to Jesus Christ. The Lord uses even the smallest verses in the Bible. Whether beginning in Genesis, or working backwards from Revelation, having Bible verses to strengthen the spirit is always an important part of the Christian walk. Here are twelve verses to start the New Year strong. |

Believe it or not women find it difficult to understand the reason why men love sex. * If they want to help you, they will demand for sex. * If they say they love you, they want sex. * You mistakenly sleep over, they want sex. * They want to borrow you money, they want sex. * They want to give you job, they want sex. * They want to pass you, they want sex. First of all, you need to understand the system of men... They didn't ask for that because they didn't create themselves. Do you know that 95% of healthy men wake up with an erection? Did they bargain for that??.. No!! Do you know that the penis has a mind of his own? A man could be reading his Bible and his penis will just stand. A man can be sleeping and wakes up with an erection. A man could be sleeping, once you start rubbing the penis, it stands even when he is still asleep. Have you ever asked yourself why men are not on periods, cramps or any bad moods?That's how God created them. A man is naturally always ready for sex. Rub a man on his head, he already thinks you want sex. Wink at him, he's already seeing you naked. Wave at a man walking with his wife, he will loose focus. This is nothing spiritual. It's not about, "in Jesus Name or Holy Ghost Fire ooo. That's why real churches do not allow ladies with short dresses to sit in front, because they will confuse the Pastor. It's not by anointing or Sheri ma ma ma ooo Men did not manufacture the high libido by themselves. We are all created in God's image. The only men that overcame sex according to the good book was Jesus Christ. Joseph's own was that, he didn't just ran away, he fled!!Jesus is God and on top of that, He was very careful not to include a woman in His disciples. So many great men have fallen because of sex. Do you think they wanted to?? Soldiers in the war front will develop urge for sex. To show you how bad it is, so many soldiers were killed during Biafra war because a woman lured them inside bush. David in scriptures sent a woman's husband to the war front when He saw a woman washing outside. He was later told that it is the wife of his faithful servant who he has sent to war. He took the woman and had sex with her. Do I need to tell you about Sampson? Solomon and other Bible characters?.. It can only take the grace of God and some level of discipline and maturity to curtail this animalistic instinct. The way the man's body reacts to this is not the same a woman's body reacts to it. How many great women have you heard messed up because of dick??Few, or even non. So next time a man misbehaves because of sex, don't see him as an animal. They are just responding to nature. Don't be like... "I've lost the respect I had for you, "I thought you were responsible," "So this was what you wanted?" A 17 year old girl can make your father lose focus and collect the money meant for your school fees. I pray you read this post with realistic understanding. Look out for the man who has not lusted for a woman and the name that will come to mind is JESUS. Amen Men are wonderfully created... But.... CONTROL YOURSELVES, OH YE MEN!!!
