You still think Africa is ready for a change? What a shame! What good could these set of students and their likes possibly have to offer Africa? Just asking......

The Word In Your Mouth! – Thursday
December 6, 2012 – Pastor Anita Death and life are in the power of the
tongue; and they that love it shall eat the
fruit thereof (Proverbs 18:21). Your life today is the reflection of your
words through the years. You set spiritual
forces in motion by words. If you’re not
satisfied with how your life has turned
out, neither the devils nor your “enemies”
are responsible; but you can change it. The power to have a fruitful, productive,
vibrant, and exciting life rest on you. This is a fundamental principle in the
Kingdom of God. Even our salvation is
based on words: “But what saith it? The
word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and
in thy heart: that is, the word of faith,
which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with
the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:8-10). To
experience salvation, you must declare
the Lordship of Jesus, believing and
acknowledging His resurrection and the
new life He’s given you. Salvation is a word that completely
expresses, in a singular term, all what the
death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus
Christ availed us. Salvation means you’ve
been brought out of failure, debt,
sickness, disease and infirmity into the liberty of the sons of God. Salvation
means you’ve been delivered from sin into
the life of righteousness. Your day-to-day
confessions must align with these glorious
realities, otherwise the blessings and
benefits of salvation will not be evident in your life. We rule by words in the Kingdom of God.
By your words you’re justified, and by
your words you’re condemned (Matthew
12:37). The words you speak will build
your children, improve your finances,
affect your body, and transform your business. Your words will determine the
quality of your life. Therefore, always
speak in consonance with the Word. When you declared your salvation in
Christ, enormous power was released to
bring you out of the kingdom of darkness
into the Kingdom of God. All you had to
do was declare the Lordship of Jesus with
your mouth. In the same vein, you don’t need any extra advantage to be a success
in life because the Word of God already
guarantees your success. The Word in
your mouth is what you need. Confession
The Word of God has taken centre-stage
in my life; therefore no matter the
circumstances, what I feel or what I see,
I’m unperturbed, for my success is
guaranteed in the Word in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study
2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith,
according as it is written, I believed, and
therefore have I spoken; we also believe,
and therefore speak; Joshua 1:8
This book of the law shall not depart out
of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest
observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt
have good success.

1 John 3:2-3 “Dear friends, we are already
God’s children, but he has not yet shown
us what we will be like when Christ
appears. But we do know that we will be
like him, for we will see him as he really is.
And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is
pure.”1 John 3:2-3 “Dear friends, we are already
God’s children, but he has not yet shown
us what we will be like when Christ
appears. But we do know that we will be
like him, for we will see him as he really is.
And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is
pure.”1 John 3:2-3 “Dear friends, we are already
God’s children, but he has not yet shown
us what we will be like when Christ
appears. But we do know that we will be
like him, for we will see him as he really is.
And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is
pure.”

Do not love the
world or the things
in the world. If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. (16)
For all that is in the world—the lust of
the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride
of life—is not of the Father but is of the
world. (17) And the world is passing
away, and the lust of it; but he who
does
the will of God abides forever. Simply put; things of this world, they all
look good & therefore very tempting,
but it can get into your head, puff you
up, until you begin to place God as the
second best in your life. \'Our God is a
very jealous God\' Don\'t put anything above Him!

It is quite normal & harmless really. It is already at the stage of sprouting. I've eaten it several times. Feels like wafers & taste & has a slightly different flavor.

evil spirit indeed,madam y lying on d poor
spirit nah? just say d truth and shame
d... let me assume she was tactically
refering to our politicians.

Obviously correct! These are mostly evil-spirit controlled politicians & their stooges. How else would you describe what this country is going thru right now? Evil spirit crazy!

Jesus said, "Fear not!" But that was not
all. He was the supreme Psychologist.
Notice what He said: "Do not be afraid,
only believe" (Luke 8:50). It was always
more than just, "Don't be afraid," or
"Take courage, be brave." That alone would be useless advice. Fear is a force
and it must be met by a superior force,
which is faith. Fear is the negative force.
It is the darkroom in which people
develop their negatives. Only a positive
force can cancel a negative one. That positive force is faith. So Jesus always said,
"Do not be afraid; only believe." The
opposite of fear is not courage, but faith.
God bless you today.

VALUE GOD THE MORE
God allowed the enemy to overcome
Israel in 2 Chronicles 12:5-8 so that they
would learn the difference between
serving Him and serving the devil.
Remember that serving God is the only way to peace and comfort while serving
satan is a sure way to pain, bitterness and
death. That is why God sometimes allows
us to go through pain and suffering in
order that we may draw closer to Him and
value Him the more. But those whom the Lord wants to admit into the most
intimate acquaintance with Him, He first
makes sensible to appreciate how
undeserving of His grace they ordinarily
are. So when you pray, say to the Lord, ‘I
can trust you to heal, bless, save, deliver me even though I don’t deserve it’’.

greatgod2012: Na wa o, but on a serious note, dont u think they deserve this type of capital punishment, if they can be heartless to d extent of molesting pple, (adult&children alike),i think they should also be molested by law.

Don't know if you are aware tho, I think there's one very important thinng that we are not considering here, that is, that this set of people are most likely not ok mentally, just like the socall lawmakers who would even consider passing up such bills into law, & therefore need help rather than mete out such barbaric justice on them.

40 days to go, Oh God! I don\'t want much 4 a new year, I just
want the person that is reading this to remain Alive and be fulfilled.
Thank you dear Lord!

CIRCUMCISION IS A MATTER OF THE HEART
John 18:14 "Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people." JOHN 18:14 The physical nation of Israel still has a very important part to play in God's plan. They have a prominent role in end-time
prophecy. However, the physical nation of Israel has been displaced in importance by the spiritual seed of Abraham, that is the church of Jesus Christ. Christians are the true circumcised people of God. In Romans 2:28-29, Paul reveals
that true circumcision is a matter of the heart, not the flesh, and that true Judaism is through new birth, not physical birth. In Colossians 2:11, Paul says that spiritual
circumcision was done by God without the hands of man. This circumcision, that was made without hands, proves that it was
not done in the physical. Paul is referring to the spiritual circumcision of the heart. The sins of our heart were cut away and discarded through the sacrifice of Christ in a similar way that the foreskin is removed from a male. The physical act of circumcision is a picture of the spiritual circumcision that is now a reality in every born-again believer. The condition of a person's flesh is not the important thing. It doesn't matter if the flesh is circumcised or holy. It is the condition of the spirit that matters with God. Those who put faith in their circumcision to save them are putting confidence in the flesh and not in God.
Today, the act of circumcision is not the issue, but acts of holiness are still deemed by many as essential for receiving salvation. That is just as wrong as those in Paul's day who believed that being circumcised granted them salvation.

SHE TOOK IT BY FORCE When she heard about Jesus, she came
behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. Mark 5: 27 The traditions of this woman's society required a woman with an issue of blood to stay indoors because she was 'unclean'.
After waiting for twelve years and hiding in the shadows, she probably said to herself, 'enough is enough. I am tired of pain and shame.' She set her own agenda for change and began a process that totally transformed her life. But her journey of change was not an easy one.
She had to overcome some stumbling blocks. Her journey started from behind the
crowd. She was behind but she was not deterred by her placement. She was
confronted with a crowd of people who were all trying to get to the same Jesus she wanted to get to. Although there were many in contention with her, she
was not discouraged. She came from behind and pressed through the rough and tumbling mob surrounding Jesus although she was feeble in strength. She did not make excuses nor gave herself any respite. When she finally got to Jesus, she reached out and executed her agenda.
She put her faith into action. She reached out and touched the hem of Jesus' garment. That is faith in action. She overcame:
1. Long-term disappointment 2. Physical weakness 3. Personal embarrassment 4. Society's rejection 5. Physical barriers: the crowd of people You can also reach out in faith and set a
new agenda for your life if
you press on without wavering. Prayer: Help me, Lord, to press through all obstacles until I have
touched Your power. Scriptural Reading: Mark 5: 21-43
pls share this to others...

To become a better you, you have to stop listening to the wrong
voices.
If you bury a lie, it will rot. If you bury the truth, it will rise.
That’s why the grave couldn’t hold
JESUS. He is “the way the truth and the life…” Be wise! God bless you.

Churches are not clubs for the perfect.
They are clinics for the sick, the wounded
and the maimed, where those a bit
stronger help those who are still weak.
The forgiven forgive. The healed heal.
The comforted comfort others. Our role is not to kick people when they are down.
They are the devil’s victims and, rather than scorn we should pour on them the oil of understanding and bring recovery and joy. God bless you.

Tithe according to the scripture is 1/10, if you won't pay it now to God, you'll still pay, only this time, to the devil. he takes 9/10. Be wise!

The wealth of this nation as of now, we understand, mainly comes from his very own region of the country. When does he think the opportunity for anyone from his clan, region or zone, however he wants put it, will ever have the chance to make decisions that will better the lot of his people. Why is he just so 'lilly-livered'?

If you are one of them who criticize
prosperity, you won't like Heaven. ''The streets of heaven is paved, with Gold''

Light up your World!

Ye are the Light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Matthew 5:14). Light is that which describes or makes manifest; it gives direction and shows the
way. Also, light brings fulfillment and joy. Thus, the Lord Jesus gave us a high calling when he said “ye are the light of the world.” It means that as Christians, we’re the ones to give direction; we’re the ones to show the people of the world the way to live the triumphant life. In John 8:12. Jesus said. “…l am the light of the world. If anybody follows me, he shall not walk in darkness but he shall have the light of life.” Then in John 20:21, he said, “as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you” Consequently, you’re the light of the world, in the same
sense as Jesus was the light of the world when He walked the earth physically. No wonder the Apostle John, understanding this revelation declared: “…as he is, so are we in this world.” If you’re a student, you’re the light of your school. If you’re a business man, you’re the light of your industry. If you’re
a policeman, you’re the light of the service. Even if you were a soldier, you’re
the light of the army. Jesus has made you the light of the world! When you understand this truth, there can be no darkness in your life. Sickness, poverty, discouragement, death and all other works of darkness and evil will never find place in your life. You’re a shining light; walk in this reality today.

President Barack Obama’s speech in
Chicago after his re-election
Tuesday night, as transcribed by Roll
Call: Thank you so much. Tonight, more than 200 years after
a former colony won the right to
determine its own destiny, the task
of perfecting our union moves
forward. It moves forward because of you. It
moves forward because you
reaffirmed the spirit that has
triumphed over war and depression,
the spirit that has lifted this country
from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief
that while each of us will pursue our
own individual dreams, we are an
American family and we rise or fall
together as one nation and as one
people. Tonight, in this election, you, the
American people, reminded us that
while our road has been hard, while
our journey has been long, we have
picked ourselves up, we have
fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United
States of America the best is yet to
come. I want to thank every American
who participated in this election,
whether you voted for the very first
time or waited in line for a very long
time. By the way, we have to fix
that. Whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone,
whether you held an Obama sign or
a Romney sign, you made your
voice heard and you made a
difference. I just spoke with Gov. Romney and
I congratulated him and Paul Ryan
on a hard-fought campaign. We
may have battled fiercely, but it’s
only because we love this country
deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From George to
Lenore to their son Mitt, the
Romney family has chosen to give
back to America through public
service and that is the legacy that
we honor and applaud tonight. In the weeks ahead, I also look
forward to sitting down with Gov.
Romney to talk about where we
can work together to move this
country forward. I want to
thank my
friend and
partner of
the last four
years, America’s
happy
warrior, the
best vice
president
anybody could ever
hope for, Joe
Biden. And I wouldn’t be the man I am today
without the woman who agreed to
marry me 20 years ago. Let me say
this publicly: Michelle, I have never
loved you more. I have never been
prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you, too, as
our nation’s first lady. Sasha and
Malia, before our very eyes you’re
growing up to become two strong,
smart beautiful young women, just
like your mom. And I’m so proud of you guys. But I will say that for now
one dog’s probably enough. To the best campaign team and
volunteers in the history of politics.
The best. The best ever. Some of
you were new this time around,
and some of you have been at my
side since the very beginning. But all of you are family. No matter what
you do or where you go from here,
you will carry the memory of the
history we made together and you
will have the lifelong appreciation of
a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way, through every
hill, through every valley. You lifted
me up the whole way and I will
always be grateful for everything
that you’ve done and all the
incredible work that you put in. I know that political campaigns can
sometimes seem small, even silly.
And that provides plenty of fodder
for the cynics that tell us that
politics is nothing more than a
contest of egos or the domain of special interests. But if you ever get
the chance to talk to folks who
turned out at our rallies and
crowded along a rope line in a high
school gym, or saw folks working
late in a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home,
you’ll discover something else. You’ll hear the determination in the
voice of a young field organizer
who’s working his way through
college and wants to make sure
every child has that same
opportunity. You’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who’s
going door to door because her
brother was finally hired when the
local auto plant added another shift.
You’ll hear the deep patriotism in
the voice of a military spouse who’s working the phones late at night to
make sure that no one who fights
for this country ever has to fight for
a job or a roof over their head
when they come home. That’s why we do this. That’s what
politics can be. That’s why elections
matter. It’s not small, it’s big. It’s
important. Democracy in a nation of
300 million can be noisy and messy
and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held
beliefs. And when we go through
tough times, when we make big
decisions as a country, it necessarily
stirs passions, stirs up controversy. That won’t change after tonight,
and it shouldn’t. These arguments
we have are a mark of our liberty.
We can never forget that as we
speak people in distant nations are
risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues
that matter, the chance to cast
their ballots like we did today. But despite all our differences, most
of us share certain hopes for
America’s future. We want our kids
to grow up in a country where they
have access to the best schools and
the best teachers. A country that lives up to its legacy as the global
leader in technology and discovery
and innovation, with all the good
jobs and new businesses that
follow. We want our children to live in an
America that isn’t burdened by
debt, that isn’t weakened by
inequality, that isn’t threatened by
the destructive power of a warming
planet. We want to pass on a country that’s safe and respected
and admired around the world, a
nation that is defended by the
strongest military on earth and the
best troops this — this world has
ever known. But also a country that moves with confidence beyond this
time of war, to shape a peace that
is built on the promise of freedom
and dignity for every human being. We believe in a generous America,
in a compassionate America, in a
tolerant America, open to the
dreams of an immigrant’s daughter
who studies in our schools and
pledges to our flag. To the young boy on the south side of Chicago
who sees a life beyond the nearest
street corner. To the furniture
worker’s child in North Carolina who
wants to become a doctor or a
scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a
president — that’s the future we
hope for. That’s the vision we
share. That’s where we need to go
— forward. That’s where we need
to go Now, we will disagree, sometimes
fiercely, about how to get there. As
it has for more than two centuries,
progress will come in fits and starts.
It’s not always a straight line. It’s
not always a smooth path. By itself, the recognition that we have
common hopes and dreams won’t
end all the gridlock or solve all our
problems or substitute for the
painstaking work of building
consensus and making the difficult compromises needed to move this
country forward. But that common
bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. A
decade of war is ending. A long
campaign is now over. And whether
I earned your vote or not, I have
listened to you, I have learned from
you, and you’ve made me a better president. And with your stories and
your struggles, I return to the
White House more determined and
more inspired than ever about the
work there is to do and the future
that lies ahead. Tonight you voted for action, not
politics as usual. You elected us to
focus on your jobs, not ours. And in
the coming weeks and months, I
am looking forward to reaching out
and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we
can only solve together. Reducing
our deficit. Reforming our tax code.
Fixing our immigration system.
Freeing ourselves from foreign oil.
We’ve got more work to do. But that doesn’t mean your work is
done. The role of citizen in our
democracy does not end with your
vote. America’s never been about
what can be done for us. It’s about
what can be done by us together through the hard and frustrating,
but necessary work of self-
government. That’s the principle
we were founded on. This country has more wealth than
any nation, but that’s not what
makes us rich. We have the most
powerful military in history, but
that’s not what makes us strong.
Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that’s
not what keeps the world coming
to our shores. What makes America exceptional
are the bonds that hold together
the most diverse nation on earth.
The belief that our destiny is
shared; that this country only works
when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future
generations. The freedom which so
many Americans have fought for
and died for come with
responsibilities as well as rights. And
among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That’s
what makes America great. I am hopeful tonight because I’ve
seen the spirit at work in America.
I’ve seen it in the family business
whose owners would rather cut
their own pay than lay off their
neighbors, and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours
than see a friend lose a job. I’ve
seen it in the soldiers who reenlist
after losing a limb and in those
SEALs who charged up the stairs
into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy
behind them watching their back. I’ve seen it on the shores of New
Jersey and New York, where
leaders from every party and level of
government have swept aside their
differences to help a community
rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm. And I saw just the
other day, in Mentor, Ohio, where a
father told the story of his 8-year-
old daughter, whose long battle
with leukemia nearly cost their
family everything had it not been for health care reform passing just a
few months before the insurance
company was about to stop paying
for her care. I had an opportunity to not just talk
to the father, but meet this
incredible daughter of his. And
when he spoke to the crowd
listening to that father’s story,
every parent in that room had tears in their eyes, because we knew
that little girl could be our own. And
I know that every American wants
her future to be just as bright.
That’s who we are. That’s the
country I’m so proud to lead as your president. And tonight, despite all the hardship
we’ve been through, despite all the
frustrations of Washington, I’ve
never been more hopeful about our
future. I have never been more
hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope. I’m not
talking about blind optimism, the
kind of hope that just ignores the
enormity of the tasks ahead or the
roadblocks that stand in our path.
I’m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on
the sidelines or shirk from a fight. I have always believed that hope is
that stubborn thing inside us that
insists, despite all the evidence to
the contrary, that something better
awaits us so long as we have the
courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting. America, I believe we can build on
the progress we’ve made and
continue to fight for new jobs and
new opportunity and new security
for the middle class. I believe we
can keep the promise of our founders, the idea that if you’re
willing to work hard, it doesn’t
matter who you are or where you
come from or what you look like or
where you love. It doesn’t matter
whether you’re black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American
or young or old or rich or poor, able,
disabled, gay or straight, you can
make it here in America if you’re
willing to try. I believe we can seize this future
together because we are not as
divided as our politics suggests.
We’re not as cynical as the pundits
believe. We are greater than the
sum of our individual ambitions, and we remain more than a collection of
red states and blue states. We are
and forever will be the United
States of America. And together with your help and
God’s grace we will continue our
journey forward and remind the
world just why it is that we live in
the greatest nation on Earth. Thank you, America. God bless you.
God bless these United States. Copyright 2012 The Associated

Need I say more...@Obyrich, with a mindset like that, looks like you are Not ready for God's blessing. ad your bible & try to understand what you read.

In recent years, the world has been experiencing an increasing frequency of extreme weather events largely attributed to climate change. Even though we were pre-warned that Hurricane Sandy would be a storm of historic proportions, no one could have accurately predicted the sheer intensity of her shocking wake. Yet we don’t need to look beyond our shores to witness the devastation and suffering that the flooding has caused to lives and property. By one account, “the floods visited on Nigeria by nature, have caused untold human suffering, and sitting down in cities far away from the disaster, it is not so easy to understand the deep human suffering that is ongoing. But know that this is the worst disaster that has befallen
Nigeria since the Civil War.” A philanthropist is “someone who donates his or her time, money, and/or reputation to charitable causes.” Philanthropy affords one the opportunity and privilege of making a positive impact on society to shape or even save lives. By giving to community, the arts, cultural, sports, religious, and civic organisations, we are in a position to be deliberately involved in causes that we believe in. Determine what type of initiatives you wish to support and then review your finances to decide how much you can afford to give. Will it be a one-off donation or is it something you can continue to commit to year on year. Narrow your choices down to a few charities or causes you feel comfortable with and do some research on them to ensure that their ethos and mission are in
consonance with your core values; then choose say one or two to support. Follow up to see how your donation is assisting them. When you see the impact
it is having, you will find it easier to continue to give. Philanthropy takes on many forms. It is our individual response to human needs; It is caring and serving; an opportunity to be involved. It can be through direct giving, or through impact investing which combines the profit motive of traditional investing with the social and developmental outcomes of philanthropy. What are you doing to help the victims of the floods that have ravaged parts of Nigeria and destroyed the lives and livelihood of thousands of our fellow citizens? This is the time to gather money, food, clothing, books, toys, household appliances from crammed cupboards; these will all be appreciated by thousands of people displaced by the floods. Bear in mind that even in such dire situations, there will always be unscrupulous individuals and groups who will try to take advantage of your generosity. So try to identify credible organisations that you feel certain will ensure that relief material reaches the most needy including the following: PASTOR FEMI OBALEMO MOVEMENT (PFOM). We have set up collection centres in Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Lokoja, Kabba, London, Dallas and Johannesburg for this purpose. The number to call, for more details is +2348039719986. For centres in Edo State & environs; Call Bro Sam +2347037821279, 08022960319. We all love to see the excitement on our children’s faces on birthdays or at Christmas, ripping the wrapping paper off their presents. Try to emphasise the non-material aspects of the season as Christmas approaches, such as family and fellowship and generosity. It is not enough to just tell our children to be charitable and kind. Our own actions in supporting others will speak louder than anything we can say. We must guide them through a program of action that becomes ingrained in their psyche. Giving some attention to the present floods will teach them a powerful
and vivid real-life lesson, that their personal money or possessions can have a positive effect on the well-being of others. With all the pressure that many families are going through, to even suggest that one should give seems absurd as it is the last thing on many people’s mind. Even if you are going through difficult times yourself, try to focus on being grateful for what you do have and what opportunities continue to present themselves. Look around you; there will always be someone worse off than you are. You can still do your own little bit and add value to someone else’s life even if you have little or no cash to spare. Giving does not mean that you must give only financially; there are several other ways to give in a meaningful way. The possibilities of giving of your time, experience, talent and intellect are vast and by sharing your knowledge with others, you can add value to your community in this way. You can give of your time to volunteer, visit the elderly, support a foundation, participate in charity walks or runs to raise money for a particular initiative. Are you a resource person in a particular field? There will be something, some talent that you can share with others that will impact positively on their lives. Indeed it is during trying times, even when your finances might seem stretched that you are forced to look inwards at what is truly important in life. Sometimes perspectives become warped and the most important aspects of life, such as your relationship with God, family and other relationships, your health, job satisfaction, and fulfilling interests take a back seat. Fortunately, challenging times compel us to recognise the true value that we hold as human beings and what makes us more successful, effective, balanced, and fulfilled people. By deciding to make a difference in someone else’s life, you can bring so much more meaning, value, and a lasting form of happiness to your own.

In Malachi 3:10, God commands us: “‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,' says the LORD Almighty, 'and see
if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.’” Are you faithfully obeying God by paying your full tithe? If yes, begin to praise God in faith for the abundant provision he is bringing to you. If not, ask God to forgive you. Repent today, and commit to pay your full tithe today at church.
