[size=14pt]Angelica Zambrano's 2nd experience in Heaven and Hell[/size]
On her second journey, Angelica was shown the judgment against Christians that rob from God in tithes and offerings, the judgment against idolatrous nuns and rebellious children, the Lamb's book of life, and much more. "Tell My people that My coming is near, I come for My holy people, tell My people that only the saints, that only the saints will see Me."

[size=13pt]Michael Jackson seen in Hell being tortured by Demons![/size]

Jesus told me that many famous people were walking to that place, famous and important people. Take for example, Michael Jackson. This man was famous all over the world but he was a satanist. Although many people may not see it that way, but it is the truth. This man had satanic covenants: He came to agreement with the devil in order to achieve fame and attract many fans.

Those steps that he performed, that's the way I saw demons walk while tormenting people in hell. They would slide backward and not move forward, while they shout; enjoying the anguish they impose upon the people. Let me tell you that Michael Jackson is in hell. The Lord showed him to me after Michael died. He let me see Michael Jackson tormented in flames. I cried to Jesus, "Why?" It wasn't easy to see how this man was being tormented and how he would scream. Anyone who listens to Michael Jackson's songs or sings them or who is a fan of Michael Jackson, I warn you that satan is trapping you in his web so that you will end up in hell. Right now, renounce it in the name of Jesus! Jesus wants to set you free, so that you will not be lost.

"Days before my first experience in Hell the Lord gave me a vision and said, "Look, this person went to hell." I am talking of the famous man known as MJ (Michael Jackson), he's also known for white gloves. He was in Hell for the reason I stated on my previous video. While I was recording that video, the Lord told me, "Talk about him." That’s why I am telling you about him being in Hell’s flames.

While approaching that place of flames, I noticed many demons in a circle, and within that circle there was somebody being tormented. He extended his burning hands and was yelling, "Help! Help!" I could understand the language he was speaking.

I wanted to help him so badly, and I could see how the demons would raise him up and force him to dance and sing as he did on Earth.

The demons mocked him and threw him into the flames. They would pick him up and whip him. He screamed in terrible pain. Oh, how horribly he was being tormented.

[img]http://www.divinerevelations.info/Documents/Prepare_to_meet_your_God/2nd_Video/Michael_Jackson_in_Hell.jpg[/img]
It broke my heart to see this and I said, "Lord, please do something, oh! Lord help him." As I extended my hand to help him, my hand suddenly burst into flames, and filled with worms. I said, "Lord Look! What's happening?" Then demons began to laugh and mock me, saying "You’re going to stay in this place."

QUESTION: Why Do Non-Muslim Terrorists Get Little Press Coverage?

ANSWER: They do not commit their terrorist acts in the name of RELIGION. Period!

samkoro: How Allah guides moslems in reality.
All we do is shout to Allah the whole day !!! and blame everyone else for our multiple failures!!!!!

Muslims are not happy
They're not happy in Gaza
They're not happy in Egypt
They're not happy in Libya
They're not happy in Morocco
They're not happy in Iran
They're not happy in Iraq
They're not happy in Yemen
They're not happy in Afghanistan
They're not happy in Pakistan
They're not happy in Syria
They're not happy in Lebanon
So, where are they happy?
They're happy in Australia
They're happy in England
They're happy in France
They're happy in Italy
They're happy in Germany
They're happy in Sweden
They're happy in the USA & Canada
They're happy in Norway
They're happy in almost every country that is not Islamic!


And who do they blame?
Not Islam...
Not their leadership...
Not themselves...
THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN
And they want to change the countries they're happy in,
to be like the countries they came from,
where they were unhappy.
Try to find logic in that !

Jeff Foxworthy on Muslims:

1. If You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to liquor.

You are a Muslim



2. If You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can'tafford shoes.

You are a Muslim

3. If You have more wives than teeth.

You are a Muslim

4. If You wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon unclean.


You are a Muslim

5. If You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.

You are a Muslim

6. If You can't think of anyone you haven't declared Jihad against.

You are a Muslim

7. If You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.

You are a Muslim

8. If You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.

You are a Muslim

9. If You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four.

You are a Muslim

10. If You find this offensive then you are a muslim

You couldn't have put it any better. It's right on target. They will never take responsibility for anything except to admit they have committed one atrocity or the other.

Israel and the US should stop taking Nigeria as a field to execute their plots against their own enemies because our president is not a hausa man;a hausa man as president is known for being tough against western dictates .in Nigeria we live peacefully and embrace all foreigners and treat all strangers kindly.[/b]

Stop displaying your ignorance here. You are just playing into the hands of the sponsors of terror. Open your eyes and wise up. What do you really know about Middle East politics, the Global Jihad and war on Islamic terrorists? Since when has Nigeria become a defender of Hezbollah the Party of God? You want Nigeria to become another Syria, Pakistan, Iraq or Afghanistan? The Security Agencies should leave no stone unturn in pursuit of those who will like to turn this country into a perpetual state of war. The soldiers should take no quarter and give none in return.

[size=13pt]"I make a plan how to kill more non-believers": Video by Canadian jihadist who may have inspired Boston jihadists[/size]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trQyi1smv-I&feature=player_detailpage

"Canadian jihadist’s disturbing video shows fanaticism of rebels who may have inspired Boston bomber," by Stewart Bell for the National Post, May 1 (thanks to Daniel):

For seven minutes, five Dagestan rebels spoke into a video camera about killing infidels and how the “good deeds” they were doing would absolve them of “700 sins” committed during their lifetimes.

Filmed by a Canadian jihadist fighter before he was killed by Russian security forces, the video offers a disturbing glimpse of the fanaticism of the rebels who may have inspired Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

Tsarnaev does not appear in the footage, which was obtained by the National Post. But it was recorded and narrated by William Plotnikov, a Canadian whose alleged links to Tsarnaev are now under investigation.

In the video, the rebel fighters repeatedly expressed their desire to kill “kafirs,” or non-believers, and referred to “Putins and Obamas” who “throw their speeches on television, give promises and after is death, so then we will see who is right.

“Victory comes only from Allah.”

Speaking mostly in Russian, the rebels did not disclose their location or the date, except that they were “in the forest” and looking forward to mounting large-scale attacks in the spring.

The video opens with a shot of the black flag adopted by jihadists and then pans to a rebel in camouflage cooking the evening meal. The bunker appeared well-stocked, with food, cooking utensils, bunk beds and weapons.

“What do you do?” Plotnikov asked a rebel sitting on a bed beside his assault rifle.

“Terrorism, to kill non-believers. This is what I do,” he replied. “Allah gave me fuel, a bunker, a lot of brothers. I eat and think a lot. I think how to kill them. I make a plan how to kill more non-believers, when to kill them… Something is coming concrete to you for the sake of Allah.”

The man behind the camera was a former Toronto boxer and Seneca College student who had converted to Islam in 2009 and left Canada in 2010 to join the Dagestan rebels. Alarmed by his plunge into extremism, his father called the Russian interior ministry.

Russian officers located and arrested Plotnikov in Dagestan in early 2011. Under questioning, Plotnikov reportedly named Tsarnaev as one of his online contacts, sparking investigations by both the FBI and Russia’s security service.

In the only extensive interviews he has given, Plotnikov’s father Vitaly told the National Post about a chilling online chat he had with his son after the Russians had released the young Canadian and told him to go home.

At the time of the conversation, Plotnikov was back in Moscow and wanted money. When his father asked when he would be coming home to Toronto, Plotnikov replied: “If it will be Allah’s will, possibly I will come back.”

“I told him, ‘Willy, religion is not a bad thing. It disciplines people and makes them more pure, clean. But fanaticism never was a good feature in any religion.’ And he said, ‘Honestly dad, really your eyes are closed by evil. I take the laws of God but not people.’

“But I understood that he was waiting to be called to the mountains,” the father said inside his condo near Toronto. “At that time he still was in Moscow, and they probably requested him already and he needed money to go there.”

It was the last time they communicated. Plotnikov returned to Dagestan and joined rebels in the mountains near the village of Utamysh. The video he recorded reveals an eerie zeal for the Islamist extremist narrative.

“So this is how we live,” Plotnikov said after turning the camera on himself. “We are not suffering, we are not in need. We need only Allah’s help and he does not leave us, his servants. We have food, we have someone to make that food and there are other brothers who perform their duties and this will be rewarded.

“And therefore non-believers you will never see what you would like to see. We have food. Allah is with us, we have our guardian, Allah, but you do not have one. We will kill you,” he said.

“We are not superheroes, we are also in need of Allah’s help and he is helping us and I am asking Allah that by next spring he gives us an opportunity to kill more non-believers, so the military trucks blow into pieces, fly around like rags. Allah is almighty and he will assist.”

Plotnikov, 23, was killed by Russian security forces near Utamysh on July 14, 2012. Tsarnaev returned to the United States days later. Plotnikov’s father said he doubted his son had ever met or befriended Tsarnaev, who died following a shootout with police near Boston two weeks ago.

Therefore real Jihad is still a call to fight the infidels nonetheless

[size=16pt]I will rather kill myself than to commit suicide![/size] - DAME PATIENCE JONATHAN

Haba Oga madam, rather killing yourself than committing suicide, is still suicide Ooh - there's no difference!

Here is Jesus Christ Personal Account of the Signs of the End times
(Matthew 24:1-51 KJV) At least He was mentioned in the Quran, Right?

1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;

49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

[size=14pt]Babayaro declared bankrupt •Chased by creditors in UK
[/size]
Written by Friday, 18 February 2011
https://tribune.com.ng/images/stories/website_images/babayaro18.jpg
[Celestine Babayaro]

FORMER Toon player, Celestine Babayaro is being chased by creditors after being declared bankrupt. The ex-Nigerian international, who was reported to earn £25,000-a-week at one stage, has been listed alongside a dinner lady and glass cutter in an announcement printed in the London Gazette.

The player, who won the gold with Nigeria at Atlanta '96 Olympic, has been living at an address on Laleham Road, in Shepperton, Middlesex, according to the order. Neighbours said they feared the former full-back, now 32, had fallen on hard times because the upkeep of his £475,000 property had slipped.

It is understood the player who started 66 times for the Magpies, had bought the house for family members to be near him when he signed for Chelsea, in 1997. The house is also next door to the home where his younger brother, Kennedy was understood to have lived until he died of tuberculosis in 2007.

A neighbour, who lives on the same street as Babayaro said: “You can tell money’s difficult because the home used to be maintained really nicely, but now it’s a bit of a mess. “You can see where the conservatory is starting to fall down and the garden is completely overgrown. They came and asked to borrow my lawnmower but I had to say no because the grass was too long and would have broken it.”

The bankruptcy order was first entered at a court in Croydon, London, last year, before being confirmed last month. It is understood Babayaro has recently been living abroad. The financial meltdown is the latest in a string of disappoint-ments for the U-17 World Cup winner in 1993.

After an injury-plagued spell at St James’s Park, Babayaro’s career stalled when he moved to the US in the hope of starring alongside David Beckham at LA Galaxy. But he was released by the club, and his hopes of a comeback with Portsmouth were dogged by a bout of malaria. Babayaro is understood to have racked up debt despite having the rest of his contract paid by Newcastle he was released in 2007.

He was signed for United for £1m by Graeme Souness, in 2005, and famously chose to play for the team just hours after his brother’s death.

[size=15pt]I AM NOT BROKE- Celestine Babayaro[/size]
Story by Lukmon Akintola

Celestine Babayaro needs no introduction because he was one of the famous gang that made up the Dream Team IV that won Nigeria the Atlanta Olympics gold medal in 1996. However, in recent times, tales of the player’s bankruptcy have been the topic of discussion. Lukmon Akintola spotted him at the Teslim Balogun stadium where he had come to watch the Kanu Nwankwo Testimonial match and he bears it all on issues surrounding his bankruptcy, the politics that led to his being kicked out of the national team and his plans for the future. Enjoy the excerpts:

In recent times, thee have been stories both in Nigeria and England insinuating that you are broke, what do you have to say to that?

There is nothing to say about it, because human beings have the right to their own opinion in life. So, if any body wants to say any thing, let them go on with what ever they want to say.

A lot of people believe that if actually you were not broke, you would have come out to dispel the rumor?

There is no need to come out and say any thing. Every human being has the right to come out and say what they feel about an issue. So, those who are saying that I am broke are only expressing their own opinion on any topical issue.

Your friends have also spoken on your behalf, asking if you look like one who is broke

That is exactly what I am saying, no matter how good you are in life, there will be people who will like you and there will be other people who will not like you. There is nothing you can do about it. So, if anybody comes out today and say some thing about me, it is for their own.

You played in Anderlecht of Belguim before going on to play at Chelsea in England, and then Newcastle United, a lot of people think by now you should have made a lot of money to keep you in form, how do you take that?

All I can say is that I am grateful to God and I am more than comfortable.

You are no longer playing professional football and you are also not a coach, what do you do presently?

I engage myself a lot of time in helping the younger ones grow, giving them advice on how to become successful professionals.

The Super Eagles, as a team is currently undergoing restructuring, what is your impression of the team after your exit?

The national team, since the exit of names like myself, Okocha and the others, have not been doing really great like we thought they would do, but we will give them time and I am sure every thing would come together, hopefully. It is a hard job; I have been there before, so I know what I am saying. We shouldn’t criticize them, but I am sure they will get themselves together pretty soon.

With a new coach and a new crop of boys, there still seems to be a missing link in the team, what is that link?

Honestly, I can only speak for the Super Eagles I played with. In our time, when we played we had character. We never believed that any other team or country could beat us. That was what we had going for us. But looking at the new team, I am not too sure about that; but they are doing well, and there is room for improvement.

A lot of people have criticized you, saying that you retired from football too early, how do you feel about that?

Well, yes I would probably say I left too early, but during my time I did my last move from Chelsea moving to Newcastle United. I had a lot of injuries and that was what made me to retire early.

A lot of people believe that your lack of discipline was more responsible for your losing form than injuries?

No, if you look around, you will find out that there are a lot of other players, young players that have retired because of injuries and other things. I can name a lot of other younger players who have retired before twenty six or twenty eight. I think it has to do with the human body. My body is different from your body and your body is different from my body. That is all I have to say.

What will you say is your greatest regret in your football career?

I don’t have any regret.

How about your greatest moment?

That would be winning the Atlanta 1996 Olympics. That is the greatest moment of my life.

You seem to be a very controversial person, how did you feel when you were sent packing from camp years back?

I felt bad, but that is definitely not my most regrettable day in football. And there is always politics in life, there are people that like you and there are people that hate you. When you get sent out of the National team, it involves so many things and politics takes the centre stage, but let’s just forget about all that and put it behind. I have long forgiven them.

What are the gains of playing for Nigeria?

Playing for Nigeria is a great thing. When I played for Nigeria every thing was smooth, things were going very well. We had fun and nobody could just come into Nigeria and test Nigeria, we were the best in Africa, but now, you can hear other African countries saying that they can beat Nigeria. Hopefully things will get better.

So, what is next for Celestine Babayaro?

The next thing would be for me to remain cool, calm and see what the breeze will bring. Actually, certain things are in my plans for now, but any thing can happen.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan has opened an investigation accusing the police of complicity within the attack. Photos of the arson attack.
Lahore (AsiaNews) - The Supreme Court of Pakistan accused the Punjab police of sheltering the criminals involved in the arson attack on the Christian Joseph Colony of Lahore, on last 9th march. At least 160 houses, 18 shops and two churches, one catholic and one Seventh day Adventist, were burnt. Below photos of the arson, received today by AsiaNews.

You cannot marry the widow, right? But what about what your right hand possess as recorded in your books? You can have slaves and concubines and even have temporary marriages but to help a poor widow you cannot. This is interesting!

Islam never ceases to amaze. Just when you think it couldn't get any hilarious. Then up comes the most bizarre thing. How can you swim with such garb on your body?

How loving and gracious showing love the Egyptian style Even as the husband you're not permitted to the face of your wife. What love!

fellis: Living forever is not going to be so much fun OP, you would get bored after some time and want something else other than the life of this world. People who have an unlimited supply of something always get bored of that thing. The reason why we think life is so precious is because it will definitely come to an end for everyone and it cannot be replaced. When life becomes limitless or endless, trust me, human beings will start to get bored of it.

I would have agreed with your reasoning if death and the grave were the end of everything, but alas God did not meant it to be so. Your REAL life of existence just begins the moment your spirit leaves your body. The spirit or soul returns to God in heaven if you had settled the issue of your eternal destiny through Jesus Christ while you were alive on earth. Your dead body (corpse) that housed your soul earlier returns to the grave awaiting the day of resurrection when God shall finally change it to immortality at the appearance of Christ. However, the reverse will be the case if you died without Christ in your life. The devil will immediately claim and drag your soul to hell where you will experience hellish tortures that cannot be imagined while awaiting the resurrection of the damned. The prospect of spending eternity in hell is too horrendous to contemplate. The devil is merciless, there is no love, compassion, kindness or peace there, only evil in all its ramifications forever. Whatever evil being experienced at the moment on earth is like child's play when compared to what exist in hell. For some people, this earth will be the only hell they will ever experience while for some the present earth is the only heaven they will ever have.

On a brighter note, you can NEVER exhaust eternity because God's wisdom, power, glory, knowledge, understanding, creative ability, etc, etc are infinite. You will spend the whole of forever exploring God and His creation. Remember learning will continue and by implication new discoveries will be made from God's unending surprises and knowledge. And what is more, as a true child of God you will rule and reign with Christ over kingdoms forever. So, how can this be dull or boring? Bear in mind that the issue of sin has degraded, bastardised and destroyed our understanding. Our Lord Jesus Christ has taken care of all our imperfections throughout eternity. Heaven is a far more busier place than this world where even now those who are there are engaged in very meaningful, loving and pleasant activities.

Fortunately, God has promised us life in Heaven, not just thousands, millions, billions or zillions of years but FOREVER, and Oh, Heaven is a beautiful and wonderful place. No dull moment there. It's even more busier than this world. There will be lots of fun and lots of things to do in heaven.

1. There will be no death in heaven and therefore no sickness

2. There will be no need for MONEY in heaven. Everything is provided free! Including your mansion and food of
any choice, also fruits of different varieties with heavenly taste. It's an all Eternal fully paid expenses by the
Lord of Lords and King of Kings - Jesus Christ.

3. Learning will continue in heaven on a higher level. There are Universities and Schools of Learning in Heaven,
but you will be shocked at who some of your Professors will be - Children! There are no failures in Heaven. Everyone will attain his God given wisdom to rule along with Christ.

4. Your personal mansion is built according to your personality, taste, heart desires and many other things you wouldn't believe God has thought about. I Corinthians 2:9 "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." Do you love God or do you see Him as a task master ready to snuff the life out of you? Think about it.

5. There will be sports and sports competition in heaven, such as water skiing, football, horse racing, extreme sports, even ones you had always wanted to do here on earth but could not. There will be no injuries. However all will be done for the glory of our King and Saviour. Points earned in competitions will be offered to Jesus as a form of worship and appreciation. There will be no losers in heaven.

6. There are amusement parks and entertainment theatres in heaven that are out of this world! But with none of the sinful trash associated with the so-called entertainment of this sinful world. What is even more, you can even participate in some live productions of films and other forms of pure entertainment all to the glory of God. God has taken care of every minute detail of our eternal provisions in heaven. What a wonderful God!

7. No need to worry or fight to protect your land, being kidnapped,or Children getting lost or any of such things you use to know here on earth.

8. There is worship and music as you have never heard before. Only the holy and pure in heart will see God's face.

9. If you have any relative, parents or children that are already in heaven ahead of you. Their greatest desire is for you to come and meet them. They are all waiting for your date of arrival. Once in heaven, you wouldn't like to come back to this world again.

10. The source of Life in Heaven is Light and God is Light, in Him there is no darkness at all. All means and forms of transportation in heaven are driven by light. You can also travel at the speed of thought.

11. Heaven is Eight times bigger than the earth. The river of Life that originates from the throne of God is a whooping 200,000 miles long with different kinds of heavenly fruits growing every month along the river bank for the enjoyment of the saints.

12. You can invite Jesus and other family members to your own banquet in your mansion, and Jesus can be at several banquets at the same time. Remember, He is God.

13. Things that are impossible here on earth are possible in heaven because heaven is a supernatural place. For instance you can control gravity in heaven. You will be able to travel to other planets for eternal adventures in God's Universe. What a prospect!

14. You will wear different clothes for different occasions. Your clothes are made up of your righteous deeds here on earth. The more righteous your deeds, the more beautifully decorated and brighter your clothes will shine. Don't ask me how, God knows the how. We always have a tendency to think of the things of God in worldly and human terms.

15. I Corinthians 2:13-14 KJV - "Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."

16. Among all the righteous deeds God expects from you, Living a HOLY LIFE IS NO.1. Give up living in sin. It's NEVER worth missing heaven.

17. Galatians 5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."

18. Revelation 21:4-5 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."

19. Revelation 21:27 "And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."

20. John 14:1-6 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me.

[size=14pt]Eternal Planning, Salvation is free, but your life lived now, determines your eternal position![/size]

This chapter explains how your eternal position is determined and you are actually the one who decides it!

People do many types of planning in their lifetime; Vacation Plans, Home building Plans, Savings Plans, College Fund Plans, Retirement Planning and even Estate Planning. The most important, but most overlooked planning is ETERNAL PLANNING. I am not talking about getting saved so you can make it to Heaven. I am talking about something far beyond that. Your eternal position which once set will never be changed. You can work towards it until you die, after that there is not much you can do. That means you find out what God’s purpose is for your life and you accomplish it. He has a destiny for all of us. You will either rule or reign with Christ in the new earth, or you will serve others.

One of the most important things you will be held accountable for will be what God called you to do with your life. We all have specific destinies and God gives us the gifts, talents and grace to accomplish it. If you do not know what your calling is, seek God and He will reveal it to you.

The bible clearly says that our gifts and callings are without repentance. This means that you will not be excused from fulfilling God’s purpose for your life. You will make it to Heaven, but you will have no reward for doing your own ‘stuff’ if you have not accomplished God’s stuff.

You do receive reward for any kindness you show, because the word of God says, “If you give a cup of water to a little one in Jesus name, you will in no wise lose your reward”. These rewards are different than the one you receive for accomplishing God’s calling on your life. Make sure your life counts for the Kingdom of God. Your reward will be to spend eternity ruling with Christ. You will never regret it!

[size=14pt]The CEO Who Built Himself America’s Largest House Just Threatened to Fire His Employees if Obama’s Elected[/size]
by Hamilton Nolan


David Siegel is the founder and CEO of Westgate Resorts, a huge national timeshare company and one of the largest resort developers in the world. In 2007 he was a billionaire, although he may be only a hundred-millionaire now. He and his wife Jackie were the subjects of the recent documentary "The Queen of Versailles," about their ongoing quest to build the largest house in America, a 90,000 square foot monument to excess. And yesterday, David Siegel sent an email to all of his thousands of employees, in which he—in a veiled way—insinuated that they would be fired of Barack Obama is reelected.

The Florida-based Westgate Resorts is not a public company. It is the domain of David Siegel, a staunch Republican. In fact, Siegel has publicly claimed credit for George W. Bush defeating Al Gore, saying "I had my managers do a survey on every employee [8,000 total]. If they liked Bush, we made them register to vote. But not if they liked Gore."
"The Queen of Versailles" depicts the dashing of Siegel's mansion dreams after the recession hit. But just months ago, he restarted construction on his personal Palace of Versailles (with the intention of selling it for $100 million) and told Reuters, "We're the most profitable we've ever been."

Huge mansion. Huge fortune. Profitable company. What could David Siegal have to complain about? Well, the demonization of the 1% by Barack Obama, for one thing. This truly amazing email went out to all Westgate employees yesterday. Bolding is ours.

Subject: Message from David Siegel
Date:Mon, 08 Oct 2012 13:58:05 -0400 (EDT)
From: [David Siegel]
To: [All employees]

To All My Valued Employees,

As most of you know our company, Westgate Resorts, has continued to succeed in spite of a very dismal economy. There is no question that the economy has changed for the worse and we have not seen any improvement over the past four years. In spite of all of the challenges we have faced, the good news is this: The economy doesn't currently pose a threat to your job. What does threaten your job however, is another 4 years of the same Presidential administration. Of course, as your employer, I can't tell you whom to vote for, and I certainly wouldn't interfere with your right to vote for whomever you choose. In fact, I encourage you to vote for whomever you think will serve your interests the best.

However, let me share a few facts that might help you decide what is in your best interest.The current administration and members of the press have perpetuated an environment that casts employers against employees. They want you to believe that we live in a class system where the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. They label us the "1%" and imply that we are somehow immune to the challenges that face our country. This could not be further from the truth. Sure, you may have heard about the big home that I'm building. I'm sure many people think that I live a privileged life. However, what you don't see or hear is the true story behind any success that I have achieved.

I started this company over 42 years ago. At that time, I lived in a very modest home. I converted my garage into an office so I could put forth 100% effort into building a company, which by the way, would eventually employ you. We didn't eat in fancy restaurants or take expensive vacations because every dollar I made went back into this company. I drove an old used car, and often times, I stayed home on weekends, while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact, I was married to my business — hard work, discipline, and sacrifice. Meanwhile, many of my friends got regular jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made a nice income, and they spent every dime they earned. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes. My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury. I, however, did not. I put my time, my money, and my life into this business —-with a vision that eventually, some day, I too, will be able to afford to buy whatever I wanted. Even to this day, every dime I earn goes back into this company. Over the past four years I have had to stop building my dream house, cut back on all of my expenses, and take my kids out of private schools simply to keep this company strong and to keep you employed.

Just think about this – most of you arrive at work in the morning and leave that afternoon and the rest of your time is yours to do as you please. But not me- there is no "off" button for me. When you leave the office, you are done and you have a weekend all to yourself. I unfortunately do not have that freedom. I eat, live, and breathe this company every minute of the day, every day of the week. There is no rest. There is no weekend. There is no happy hour. I know many of you work hard and do a great job, but I'm the one who has to sign every check, pay every expense, and make sure that this company continues to succeed. Unfortunately, what most people see is the nice house and the lavish lifestyle. What the press certainly does not want you to see, is the true story of the hard work and sacrifices I've made.

Now, the economy is falling apart and people like me who made all the right decisions and invested in themselves are being forced to bail out all the people who didn't. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I earned and sacrificed 42 years of my life for. Yes, business ownership has its benefits, but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds. Unfortunately, the costs of running a business have gotten out of control, and let me tell you why: We are being taxed to death and the government thinks we don't pay enough. We pay state taxes, federal taxes, property taxes, sales and use taxes, payroll taxes, workers compensation taxes and unemployment taxes. I even have to hire an entire department to manage all these taxes. The question I have is this: Who is really stimulating the economy? Is it the Government that wants to take money from those who have earned it and give it to those who have not, or is it people like me who built a company out of his garage and directly employs over 7000 people and hosts over 3 million people per year with a great vacation?

Obviously, our present government believes that taking my money is the right economic stimulus for this country. The fact is, if I deducted 50% of your paycheck you'd quit and you wouldn't work here. I mean, why should you? Who wants to get rewarded only 50% of their hard work? Well, that's what happens to me.

Here is what most people don't understand and the press and our Government has chosen to ignore – to stimulate the economy you need to stimulate what runs the economy. Instead of raising my taxes and depositing that money into the Washington black-hole, let me spend it on growing the company, hire more employees, and generate substantial economic growth. My employees will enjoy the wealth of that tax cut in the form of promotions and better salaries. But that is not what our current Government wants you to believe. They want you to believe that it somehow makes sense to take more from those who create wealth and give it to those who do not, and somehow our economy will improve. They don't want you to know that the "1%", as they like to label us, pay more than 31% of all the taxes in this country. Thomas Jefferson, the author of our great Constitution, once said, "democracy" will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate business, not kill it. However, the power brokers in Washington believe redistributing wealth is the essential driver of the American economic engine. Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change they want.

So where am I going with all this? It's quite simple. If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company. Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone.

So, when you make your decision to vote, ask yourself, which candidate understands the economics of business ownership and who doesn't? Whose policies will endanger your job? Answer those questions and you should know who might be the one capable of protecting and saving your job. While the media wants to tell you to believe the "1 percenters" are bad, I'm telling you they are not. They create most of the jobs. If you lose your job, it won't be at the hands of the "1%"; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that swept through this country.

You see, I can no longer support a system that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, so will your opportunities. [size=13pt]If that happens, you can find me in the Caribbean sitting on the beach, under a palm tree, retired, and with no employees to worry about.[/size]

Signed, your boss,

David Siegel


Hmmmm! Practical economic common sense wouldn't you say. This is the old school business approach my semi-illiterate grandfather taught me before he died. It's simple, it rocks and it works every time and all the time. Wish our eggheads economic advisers to the president (Jonathan) would take note of this practical piece of advice.

Bobbysworld28: Nigeria confirms informal Boko Haram talks

[size=16pt]...Boko Haram, which wants to create an Islamic state,...[/size]

For the upteenth time, this is what they say they want. So what is there to dialogue about?
Who is kidding who in this whole episode of Boko haram? Why is the Government always claiming ignorance as to what the BH boys want?
It's Shariah in all its ramifications or NOTHING! The Boko boys are going for broke. And like their father the devil, they give no quarter and take no quarter. Government should stop wasting time and face the real issues of governance. Boko haram is NOT one of those issues.

I thought prophet Mohammed (SAW) said the world was flat and the Sun sets in the west in a muddy pond I am really confused
