Germany And Curacao Players Spotted Praying Together After World Cup Match

It was the first match of both nations in the 2026 world cup which ended in a 7-1 victory for Germany.

This was despite the spirited fight shown by Curacao early on the match that saw them grab the equalizer, which was their first ever goal scored in the world cup, which was also happened to their first ever appearance and match in the world cup.

However despite the contrasting fortunes for both sides, the players of Germany and Curacao were yet seen praying together after the final whistle of the match was blown by the center referee.

This was a very rare scenario, I don't even think I have ever seen such a thing happen on the pitch after a football match before.

I have only seen players of the same team pray together especially after winning a match or tournament, but never opponents in the same match.

The extent to which players are boldly and proudly showcasing their faith to the world on a daily basis, seems to be assuming new dimensions and breaking new grounds, however i'm not totally surprised because God foretold me of such things and hinted me concerning His plans for the game many years ago when I was planning to quit following the game.

I can recall someone in a previous related thread which depicted players of epl champions Arsenal, glorifying Jesus and preaching His Gospel on the pitch, who insinuated that it was only when they won that's it's Jesus, but not when they lost, but I replied "that win or lose, Jesus is still King!"

This instance of players from both winning and losing team of a match perfectly illustrates my point.

I even saw one player from the losing team running to join the prayers, to prove that win or lose, Jesus is still glorified regardless.

God bless.

Felix Umecha, the player who scored the first goal for Germany, who was also part of the players that prayed together, said after the game:

"In the game we're opponents, but after the game we're all Christians, we're all brothers, and we said a little prayer because we believe that Jesus is glorified through the game".

The same player celebrated his goal in the world cup by casting his crown before King Jesus.

God bless.

As if what happened after the Germany - Curacao match wasn't mind-blowing enough, the USA men's national team seemed determined not to be left out of the wind of prayer that was blowing in the world cup.

After their recent match with Australia, the whole team USA, including the coaching and technical crew, had formed a large circle on the pitch, with one player in the middle leading them in prayers.

This was something similar to what the Brazilian team did after their final triumph in 2002 world cup, however one could say that such was expected from Brazil because of their largely religious and Christian background, so it's not hard for them to be united on that front.

However for USA which is far more religiously diverse, where such public display of faith especially on the international and world-wide stage, attracts much backlash and criticism, it's profoundly astonishing to see all members of team USA unite in prayer for all the world to see.

It seems that as the devil is using his own to drive his demonic agenda, such as homosexuality and LGBTQ pride campaigns, God Himself isn't letting him have a clean sail, but using His own to resist the evil agenda of the devil, and letting the whole world know through the game of football, that He indeed is Lord of all the Earth, and deserves to be worshipped by all of the human race.

God bless.

Staying in the US where the world cup is being hosted, there was yet another major development of sport players boldly showcasing their faith in Jesus publicly, although not football players this time but players of Major League Baseball, however it's equally important and hence also worth mentioning.

It was during the recent LGBTQ pride month campaign, that 3 players of San Francisco Giants, Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker, wrote bible verses on their LGBTQ pride night caps, to show their own beliefs and where their loyalty really lies.

One of them, Landen Roupp, actually wrote “Gen 9:12-16” on his cap, to show the real and original meaning and purpose of the rainbow according to the One who invented it, which the devil is trying to steal and use to push his own demonic woke agenda.

Although the players have been immediately issued a stern warning as a result from the MLB organizers, just as similar case in the English Premier League where some players and team captains resisted the attempt of it's organizers to impose the satanic LGBTQ campaign on them, I believe it's only a matter of time before they also scrapped that unjust idea, because the players have just exposed their brazen double standards and hypocrisy.

Hallelujah! The entire world thrives on religion.

Christianity is really God's religion because we can see it's impact in the developed countries. Countries who first got industrialized and developed were early Christian countries who lived by the doctrine of the bible and the holy spirit. Early European countries were devout Christians who gave their all to Christ. They risked their lives to preach the gospel and even defended the religion during the crusades.

The new generation of Europeans didn't know what their fore fathers sacrificed before they can have their countries of today.
Why should I follow IFA as a Yoruba man when our fore fathers who practiced the isese religion didn't give us any legacy like wealth or development, except slavery for we their descendants unlike the Europeans.

Quran
Quran (33:50) - "O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those (slaves) whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee" -This is one of several personal-sounding verses "from Allah" narrated by Muhammad - in this case allowing a virtually unlimited supply of sex partners. Other Muslims are restricted to four wives, but they may also have sex with any number of slaves, following the example of their prophet.

Quran (23:5-6) - "..who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess..." -This verse permits the slave-owner to have sex with his slaves. See also Quran (70:29-30) . The Quran is a small book, so if Allah used valuable space to repeat the same point four times, sex slavery must be very important to him. He was relatively reticent on matters of human compassion and love.

Quran (4:24) - "And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess." -Even sex with married slaves is permissible.

Quran (8:69) - "But (now) enjoy what ye took in war, lawful and good" -A reference to war booty, of which slaves were a part. The Muslim slave master may enjoy his "catch" because (according to verse 71) "Allah gave you mastery over them."

Quran (24:32) - "And marry those among you who are single and those who are fit among your male slaves and your female slaves..." -Breeding slaves based on fitness.

Hadith and Sira

Sahih Bukhari (41.598) - Muhammad establishes that slaves are property. They cannot be freed if an owner has outstanding debt, but they can be used to pay off the debt.

Sahih Bukhari (62:137) - An account of women taken as slaves in battle by Muhammad's men after their husbands and fathers were killed. The woman were raped with Muhammad's approval.

Sahih Bukhari (34:432) - Another account of females taken captive and raped with Muhammad's approval. In this case it is evident that the Muslims intend on selling the women after raping them because they are concerned about devaluing their price by impregnating them. Muhammad is asked about coitus interruptus. (Coitus interruptus is the act of having raw intercourse without ejaculating inside her sexual organ.)

Sahih Bukhari (47:765) - A woman is rebuked by Muhammad for freeing a slave girl. The prophet tells her that she would have gotten a greater heavenly reward by giving her to a relative (as a slave). In Muhammad PUBG's own words : "You would have got more reward if you had given her (i.e. the slave-girl) to one of your maternal uncles."

Sahih Bukhari (34:351) - Muhammad sells a slave for money. He was thus a slave trader.


Sahih Bukhari (72:734) - Some contemporary Muslims in the West (where slavery is believed to be a horrible crime) are reluctant to believe that Muhammad owned slaves. This is just one of many places in the Hadith where a reference is made to a human being owned by Muhammad.

Sahih Bukhari (52:255) - To discourage emancipation, Muhammad says that the slave who accepts Islam and continues serving his Muslim master will receive a double reward in heaven. This is better than freedom for both parties, as the master benefits from slave-labor free of consequence, and the slave has the promise of eternal reward over the temporal. In other words, it is better to be a slave to the Arabs than to be a free mankind because Allah will greatly reward us for the former.

Sahih Muslim 3371 - Muhammad and his men take captive " some excellent Arab women " from the Banu Mustaliq. Their dilemma then becomes that they want to rape the women, but they also want to 'ransom' them, knowing that their captives will be of less value if pregnant. When they ask Muhammad about coitus interruptus, their prophet tells them that it doesn't matter how they rape the women because " every soul will be born " anyway.

Sahih Muslim 3901 - Muhammad trades away two African slaves for one Muslim slave.

Sahih Bukhari 8:73:182 - Muhammad had an African slave acting as his chauffeur.

Sahih Bukhari 9:91:368 - Muhammad had an African slave acting as his butler.

Sahih Bukari 4:53:344 - Aisha learns that Muhammad has acquired slave girls as "booty" and asks for one as a maid.

Sahih Bukhari 7:65:344 - Muhammad kept a slave to acting as his tailor.

Sahih Bukhari 2:15:103 - "I was watching the display of black slaves in the mosque..."

Sahih Muslim 4345 - Narration of a military raid against a hapless tribe trying to reach their water hole. During the slaughter, the women and children attempt to flee, but are cut off and captured by the Muslims. This story refutes any misconception that Muhammad's sex slaves were taken by their own volition.

Sahih Muslim 4112 - A man freed six slaves on the event of his death, but Muhammad reversed the emancipation and kept four in slavery to himself. He cast lots to determine which two to free. (Even when a Muhammad follower realized in the end that slavery was wrong and decided to free his own slaves upon his death, Muhammad reversed his decision and kept the slaves to himself.)

Sahih Bukhari (47:743) - Muhammad's own pulpit - from which he preached Islam - was built with slave labor on his command.

Sahih Bukhari (59:637) - "The Prophet sent Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the booty) and I hated Ali, and Ali had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave-girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, 'Don't you see this (i.e. Ali)?' When we reached the Prophet I mentioned that to him. He said, 'O Buraida! Do you hate Ali?' I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the Khumlus.'" -Muhammad approved of his men having sex with slaves, as this episode involving his son-in-law, Ali, clearly proves. This hadith refutes the modern apologists who pretend that slaves were really "wives." This is because Muhammad had forbidden Ali from marrying another woman as long as Fatima (his favorite daughter) was living.

Abu Dawud (2150) - "The Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him) were reluctant to have intercourse with the female captives in the presence of their husbands who were unbelievers. So Allah, the Exalted, sent down the Qur’anic verse: (Quran 4:24) 'And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hands possess." -This is the background for verse 4:24 of the Quran. Not only does Allah give permission for women to be captured and raped, but allows it to even be done in front of their husbands. (See also Muslim 3432 & Ibn Kathir/Abdul Rahman Part 5 Page 14)

Abu Dawud (1814) - "... [Abu Bakr] He then began to beat [his slave] him while the Apostle of Allah (pbuh) was smiling and saying: Look at this man who is in the sacred state (putting on ihram), what is he doing?" -The future first caliph of Islam is beating his slave for losing a camel while Muhammad looks on in apparent amusement.

Ibn Ishaq (734) - A slave girl is given a "violent beating" by Ali in the presence of Muhammad, who does nothing about it.

Abu Dawud 38:4458 - Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib: “A slave-girl belonging to the house of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) committed fornication. He (the Prophet) said: Rush up, Ali, and inflict the prescribed punishment on her. I then hurried up, and saw that blood was flowing from her, and did not stop. So I came to him and he said: Have you finished inflicting (punishment on her)? I said: I went to her while her blood was flowing. He said: Leave her alone till her bleeding stops; then inflict the prescribed punishment on her. And inflict the prescribed punishment on those whom your right hands possess (i.e. slaves)”. -A slave girl is ordered by Muhammad to be beaten until she bleeds, and then beaten again after the bleeding stops. He indicates that this is prescribed treatment for slaves ("those whom your right hand possesses".)

Abu Dawud 1:142 - "Do not beat your wife as you beat your slave-girl "

Sunan Nasai 2:12:1125 - Aisha said, "I noticed that the Messenger of Allah was missing from bed... I thought he had gone to one of his concubines" - Muhammad's wife thought that he had gone to one of his slaves for sex.

Ibn Ishaq (693) - "Then the apostle sent Sa-d b. Zayd al-Ansari, brother of Abdu'l-Ashal with some of the captive women of Banu Qurayza to Najd and he sold them for horses and weapons." -Muhammad trades away women captured from the Banu Qurayza tribe to non-Muslim slave traders for property. (Their men had been executed after surrendering peacefully without a fight).

Umdat al-Salik (Reliance of the Traveller) (o9.13) - According to Sharia, when a child or woman is taken captive by Muslims, they become slaves by the mere fact of their capture. A captured woman's previous marriage is immediately annulled. This would not be necessary if she were widowed by battle, which is an imaginary stipulation that modern apologists sometimes pose.

The greatest slave rebellion in human history took place in Basra, Iraq beginning in 869. A half-million African slaves staged a courageous uprising against their Arab-Islamic masters that lasted fifteen years before being brutally suppressed.

They need to re-introduce history in schools. Maybe look how much savagery the so called western christian nation has caused over the years. This is not a fault of christianity thou but attributing their success to Christianity should equally mean their horrors can be attributed to christianity as well.
