In the heart of ancient Jerusalem, amidst whispers of prophecy and divinity, a humble carpenter walked among the people, his presence radiating compassion and wisdom. His name was Jesus of Nazareth, a man whose life transcended mortal boundaries and left an indelible mark on humanity.

Born into humble beginnings, Jesus defied societal norms, choosing instead to embrace love, humility, and forgiveness. His teachings, woven with parables of hope and redemption, ignited a spiritual revolution that resonated across generations.

But it was not the miracles he performed nor the crowds he drew that defined Jesus's legacy. It was his unwavering commitment to a higher purpose, a purpose that would culminate in the ultimate act of sacrifice.

As the sands of time shifted, whispers turned to fervent cries, and the fate of Jesus became intertwined with destiny's unyielding grip. Betrayed by those he loved, he faced the agony of the cross with a serenity that echoed through eternity.

Yet, in the darkness of his final moments, a beacon of light emerged, illuminating the path to salvation. For in his death, Jesus bestowed upon humanity a gift beyond measure—the promise of redemption and eternal life.

Today, as we reflect on the life and death of Jesus Christ, we are reminded of the power of spirituality, of the enduring legacy of one who lived an exemplary life of love and sacrifice. His story continues to inspire us to seek compassion, to embrace forgiveness, and to walk the path of enlightenment.

Join me on this journey of reflection and renewal as we honor the legacy of Jesus Christ and embrace the timeless truths of spirituality. Let his story be our guiding light, shining brightly in a world in need of hope and healing.

I once met a baker named Maria. By day, she made delicious pastries at a local cafe. But at night, she dreamt of opening her own bakery. The fear of failure held her back for years. Then, one day, she decided "enough is enough!" She started small, taking online baking classes and experimenting with new recipes. Every weekend, she'd set up a table at the farmer's market, selling her creations. Slowly but surely, her customer base grew. Today, Maria owns a thriving bakery filled with the aroma of happiness and the sweet taste of her never-give-up spirit.

Introduction:
In a world brimming with possibilities, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, often neglecting our own growth and development in the process. However, beneath the surface of routine lies a treasure trove of untapped potential waiting to be unleashed. In this article, we'll explore the transformative journey of personal growth and how each of us can harness our inner power to reach new heights.

The Journey Begins:
Embarking on the path of personal growth is akin to setting sail on a voyage of self-discovery. It requires courage, determination, and a willingness to step outside our comfort zones. Whether it's acquiring new skills, overcoming fears, or embracing change, every step forward brings us closer to realizing our full potential.

Embracing Challenges:
Challenges are not roadblocks; they are opportunities in disguise. Instead of shying away from adversity, we can choose to embrace it as a catalyst for growth. By reframing setbacks as lessons to be learned and obstacles to be overcome, we empower ourselves to emerge stronger and more resilient than before.

Cultivating a Growth Mindset:
At the heart of personal growth lies the concept of a growth mindset—a belief that our abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. By adopting a growth mindset, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities and pave the way for continuous improvement. Instead of viewing failures as permanent shortcomings, we see them as temporary setbacks on the path to success.

The Power of Reflection:
In the hustle and bustle of modern life, it's easy to lose sight of our goals and aspirations. That's why taking time for reflection is essential for personal growth. Whether through journaling, meditation, or deep introspection, carving out moments of quietude allows us to gain clarity, perspective, and renewed focus on what truly matters.

A Call to Action:
Now that we've e xplored the transformative journey of personal growth, it's time to take action. I challenge each of you to commit to one small step towards your own growth and development. Whether it's signing up for that course you've been eyeing, facing a fear head-on, or setting aside time for self-care, every action, no matter how small, brings you one step closer to unlocking your full potential.

Conclusion:
As we navigate the winding road of life, let us remember that our greatest growth often occurs outside our comfort zones. By embracing challenges, cultivating a growth mindset, and taking time for reflection, we empower ourselves to reach new heights and become the best versions of ourselves. So, dare to dream, dare to grow, and dare to unlock the boundless potential that lies within you. The journey awaits—will you answer the call?

In Christian theology, the 24 elders in heaven are often mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Their exact identity is a subject of interpretation, with some suggesting they represent symbolic or representative figures, such as patriarchs or leaders from the Old and New Testaments. The Bible does not provide explicit details about each elder, leaving room for various interpretations among different denominations and scholars.

OKOATA:
These are the authorities; their decision affect all the creations of Ahavah (God), Shafat leads them.

The 24 Elders are the only beings with free will that are under no law. Ahavah made them in the way that naturally they will humble themselves before him.

They were the first living created-creatures/intelligence having a human-like appearance, and they are all males; none of them looks like a woman. In their natural state, their skin are pure-white (like a snow) and have no glowing effect.

However, unlike other creatures of Ahavah, the 24 Elders have no wings or any form of beastly nature. They only have one natural appearance; which is the one they were created and they live at Meltsar;
Members of the 24 Elders are:
Shafat is the leader of The 24 Elders
AMAN, AMATS, ANAH (Bald Headed), BERAKAH, CHEN, CHESED, EMUNAH, GADOL (He is second tallest Elder after Yakach), GEBURAH, HADAR, HUPOMONE, KOACH (He is fat, hefty and strong), OSHER, QARA, SHALOM, SIMCHAH, TAHOR, TIPHARAH (He is the most handsome Elder), TIQVAH, TSALACH, TUB, YAKACH ( He is the tallest Elder), YASHAR.

AHAVAH (to all the Elders) I have in you my wisdom, intelligence, and power. You shall have the right to discuss and have meetings with or without my knowledge; moreover, you shall glorify me forever.
Look around yourselves; I place you on wealth, authority, power and all my Kingdoms. (smiles) Boqer is the only star dwelling in Shamayim, I love Boqer and I have kept the POWER OF ORDER with her. Power of Order belongs to me.

You must not touch it, for whoever takes it shall die and perish in Yam-Esh Forever. (smiles) Nevertheless, I know you will never turn against me because I AM LOVE, and peace I give to you. Your praises shall ascend to me forever and you shall govern my cities.

ALL THE ELDERS (off their crowns and fall their faces to the ground. Their garments become whiter as snow and glow. They say in unison) Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure, they are and were created. Ahavah then smiles. Shafat tries to raise his right hand and his hand shakes, that he is not able to lift it.

SHAFAT (shaky voice) Holy Father; The Living One, Blessed is your name forever! Please forgive us, for we are troubled at the strength of your presence, if only you can make us survive without trembling in your presence, we shall live, else we perish in your sight. Ahavah closes his eyes and slightly faces down nodding his head, and the screen before him closes.

Then the bright light that was above the Elders goes off. The sky changes back to a big hall in Meltsar. {INT. HALL, MELTSAR} A big triangular table appears before the Elders, they pants while on the ground.

After a while, the Elders begin to stand-up one after the other, wear their crowns and sit on their chairs around the table before them. Their natural skins are as white as snow (pure white powder-like) without having a glowing effect.

LIONEL Messi splashed out £175,000 on 35 gold iPhones for his World Cup-winning team and their staff.
The Argentinian star commissioned the 24-carat devices for every member of the winning squad and had them delivered to his Parisian apartment on Saturday.

Each phone has the player's name, number and the Argentinian logo engraved on it.

Last night a source said: “Lionel wanted to do something special and blingy to celebrate his proudest moment.

“He got in touch with entrepreneur Ben Lyons and they came up with the design together.

Ben, CEO of iDesign Gold, said: “Lionel is not only the Goat but he's one of IDESIGN GOLD's most loyal customers and got in touch with us a couple of months after the World Cup final.”

“He said he wanted a special gift for all the players and staff to celebrate the amazing win but didn't want the usual gift of watches.

“So, I suggested gold iPhones inscribed with their names and he loved the idea.”

Argentina triumphed in Qatar last year — with Messi, 35, named Player of the Tournament.

Lack of wisdom make people perish

Faith is the currency of believers ( Mark 9:23): when God created the heavens and the earth in Genesis 1:1, as well as everything we see ( the stars, moon, and light), we understand by faith (Hebrews 11:3). Faith works where we cannot see (Hebrews 11:1): it is the substance of things hoped for. Faith is predicting your future (Psalm 27:13): it is shaping your future by speaking and confessing it (Mark 11:24). Faith is the act of declaring and decreeing (Mark 11:23; Job 22:28): it is the vehicle that moves God ( Mathew 8:9-10; 15:25-28). Faith is the pillar for salvation ( Ephesians 2:8; Romans 10:9-10): pursuing a Christ-like life is a demonstration of faith (Hebrews 10:38-39).

The ultimate goal of the Christian life is to please God. Pleasing God is accomplished by faith ( Hebrew 11:6). Faith is the foundation of the Christian life and the principle that brings us to Jesus Christ. An understanding of what faith is will help us grow in our walk with the lord.

The mystery of iniquity is working of lawlessness in the world, leading to a worldwide rebellion against God ( Mathew 24:12; 2Timothy 3:1-4). It is all about controlling people, systems, finance , etc. (Genesis 11:4). It is an interwoven series of complex systems that have slipped into politics, entertainment, sports, education, religion, media, etc. (Romans 1:21-22). It is also revealed through the spirit of seduction, and doctrines of the devils (2Timothy 3:13; 1Timothy 4:1). It showcases sinful behaviours and diabolic practices in human beings ( Act8:22-23; Mathew 23:28).

the mystery of iniquity" (2 Thess.2:7)- which is basically that Satan also manifests himself in the flesh - finally as the Antichrist.

In verses 9-11, we read of Satan working through the spirit of the antichrist with lying signs and wonders and the deception of wickedness to deceive people. We also read of God sending a deluding influence upon those who don't receive the love of the truth so as to be saved - "so that they might all believe THE LIE" (v.11 - Literal).

What is the lie referred to here? It is the lie that Satan told Eve in the garden of Eden: "You can sin and get away with it. God won't punish you."

That is the greatest lie that Satan has deceived the world with. Even many believers believe that lie of Satan!! The mystery of iniquity is that this lie has worked and worked and drawn many into deception. This culminates in false Christendom giving Satan a bride - Babylon! She also is called a mystery in Rev.17:5, just as the church is called a mystery.

The Greek word apostasia in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 means “departure, falling away, defection, revolt.” This end times’ apostasy is the mass “falling away” of people from God as the world prepares to receive the lawless one who claims to be God (verse 4). It is an unprecedented, worldwide revolt against all things godly, and even many who claim to be Christians will be caught up in it. Another possibility, espoused by a small minority of scholars, is that the “apostasy” is the “departure” of the church from the world, that is, the rapture that Paul alludes to in verse 1 and which he had previously discussed in 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18. It is important to note that a pre-trib interpretation does not require equating apostasia with the rapture.

God leads His children in definite ways. He loves to speak plainly with His own but when He speaks in codes or uses signs and symbols, it is important that the recipients of such messages return to ask for meaning, or else the purpose of the communication is defeated . When the purpose of God’s word is known, it’s accomplishment is inevitable. ( John 2: 1-5)

Some Christians believe that, since our kingdom is not of this world, we do not have to be involved in any political activity in the world we presently live in (John 17:14). This is not the whole truth but a misconception aimed at robbing us of our godly heritage of dominion ( Psalm 8:6, 1Peter 2:9)

Here are some reasons for the misconception or wrong notions about the involvement of Christians in politics
1. Politics is a dirty game and a worldly affair.
2. Political involvements will take one to hell.
3. All politicians are liars, corrupt and promiscuous
4. It is an opportunity to embezzle money or amass wealth
5. Most politicians are fetish or occultic.

1. It leads to mental illnesses

Most of mental disorders such as;

• Depression
• Poor focus
• Anxiety
• Fear

They all result from porn addiction and fapping

This why, not until the victim "act"; they cannot calm themselves.

Stop messing up your brain bro!

2. You lower your self-esteem

Get addicted to masturbation and drive yourself to a pithole of;

• Regrets
• Self loathing
• Extreme shyness

It'll take you months if not years to build confidence

So, resist the urge and save yourself the torture.

3. You lower your T-level

A lot of energy goes to waste during the "act"

That's why you find most men who indulge themselves into it have;

• Weak muscle
• Low sex drive
• Low energy and mood

This is not what you want.

Get your life in order bro.

4. It makes you socially weird

The feeling of "guilty" crowds your thinking.

This makes hard for you to;

• Relate with ladies
• Face anyone boldly
• Control your sexual urges

This world needs you sane, not a man who's weak socially.

5. It alleviates your dopamine level.

You'll continue to crave the "feeling" until it becomes hard to control it.

This'll make you;

• Crave for solitude
• Ruin your concentration
• Arouse feeling of low motivation

Quit this habit before you sink

6. It kills your inner drive

Man's sole purpose is to work and upgrade their life.

Now, with the masturbation;

• You'll lack discipline
• Get distracted easily
• Suffer mental breakdown

This makes you lack purpose and you'll cling to anything to give you purpose.

The political docility of Christians of the early church could be traced to the fact that Israel and some gentile nations were under the colonial rule of the Roman Empire and Christians were taught to be in subjection to the authorities that be at best, they were to pray for those in power and could not participate in the politics of their time.

This might have been responsible for why Christians hesitate to be actively involved in the politics of our days, whereas, the God we believe and serve is interested in the way the world is governed (Romans 13: 1, 1Timothy 2: 1-2, Genesis 1: 28).

First Peter 2:5 says, “You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Peter was writing to Christians to encourage them to remain strong in the faith, even through persecution (1 Peter 1:6). He reminded them that they were highly significant in the sight of God and urged them to live holy lives (verses 15–16).

Under the New Covenant, every believer in Jesus Christ is a holy priest. As priests, they offer spiritual sacrifices “through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 2:5). Spiritual sacrifices replace the material sacrifices of the Old Covenant (Exodus 29:36). No longer are priests a separate class, and no longer do they offer bulls, goats, and lambs on the altar (Hebrews 10:1–11). Not only do believers constitute the new priesthood, but they are the “living stones” forming the spiritual temple of God (1 Peter 2:5). Our worship today involves the offering of spiritual sacrifices.
