A lawyer to the immediate past Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh (retd.), Samuel O. Zibri (SAN), has faulted a report that $1m was found in the former CDS’s house.

The lawyer, in a statement in Abuja, said, “The publication is not only malicious but wicked. It is totally false and smacks of media campaign of calumny against the person of Air Marshal Alex Badeh, (retd,).

“The 10-count charge against our client along with the proof of evidence in the Federal High Court are public documents and can be accessed by the general public.

“There is no such allegation and we challenge the faceless Economic Financial Crimes Commission official to substantiate his claim. The trial has commenced and our client, as a law-abiding citizen, will defend himself in accordance with the law.”

12 Christians Brutally Executed By ISIS Refused to Renounce Name of Christ, Died Praying, Reciting Lord’s Prayer

Twelve Christians have been brutally executed by the Islamic State, including the 12-year-old son of a Syrian ministry team leader who had planted nine churches, because they refused to renounce the name of Jesus Christ and embrace Islam. The martyrs were faithful to the very end; right before one woman was beheaded by the terror group, she appeared to be smiling slightly as she said, “Jesus!”

Thousands of Muslims In Northern Iraq Converting to Christianity After Witnessing ISIS Horror, Ministry Reveals: ‘They’re Just Sick of Islam’



More and more Kurdish Muslims living in Iraq are turning to Christ after witnessing the brutality of extremist groups like ISIS, who carry out horrific acts in the name of Allah, Christian aid workers have revealed.

A ministry leader in the Kurdish Region of Iraq told the Christian Aid Mission that his organization can barely keep up with the desire of refugees to learn about Christ and the Bible, which has grown increasingly strong since ISIS overtook many parts of the region.

“They’re just sick of Islam,” he said. “People are very hungry to know about Christ, especially when they hear about miracles, healing, mercy and love.”

China’s Efforts to Mold Christianity in Its Own Image Face Resistance

In August 2014, a top-ranking official in the Chinese government informed the world that China was planning on nationalizing Christianity.

Wang Zuoan, director of the State Administration for Religious Affairs, told a forum in Shanghai that the “construction of Chinese Christian theology should adapt to China’s condition and integrate with Chinese culture.”

The announcement, unsurprisingly, triggered significant consternation among Christian groups in China and around the globe.

Florida Senate Passes Bill Allowing Churches to Refuse to Marry Same-Sex Couples

The Florida state Senate passed a bill that, if signed by Republican Gov. Rick Scott, would protect churches from being forced to marry same-sex couples.
CBN News reports that the bill would take effect July 1 if Gov. Scott signs it into law.

Democrats in the Senate who oppose the bill argue that churches are already protected by the Constitution and that there is no need for a separate bill to protect religious freedom in this way.

However, Republican state Sen. Aaron Bean disagrees.

These Christian Women Changed the World. Do You Know Them?

These women preached the gospel, freed slaves, protected children, and helped the poor. Their work for Christ is certainly worth celebrating this month.

1. Mary Magdalene

Who She Was: A follower of Jesus, Mary Magdalene was with Jesus at the crucifixion. She was the first person Jesus appeared to after resurrection and she was told to spread the good news to others.

Why She Matters: As Grady writes, “She was the pioneer of pioneers and the forerunner of all forerunners.” Mary Magdalene was the first person to be commissioned to preach the gospel, a sign that God can use women in ministry.

2. Jarena Lee (1783-1855)

Who She Was: Lee was best known for being a preacher for the African Methodist Episcopal Church, travelling hundreds of miles to teach others about Jesus.

Why She Matters: She was an adamant supporter of women’s right to preach. When challenged about the matter, Lee would say, “If the man may preach, because the Savior died for him, why not the woman, seeing He died for her also?”

3. Sojourner Truth (1797-1883)

Who She Was: A slave-turned abolitionist, Truth became a Methodist and was called to ministry.

Why She Matters: Truth delivered a speech entitled “Ain’t I a Woman?” in 1851 that demanded equality for women and African Americans. As a preacher, she said that Jesus overcame her hatred of white people. Her faith gave her the ability to love everyone.

4. Phoebe Palmer (1807-1874)

Who She Was: Palmer was a Methodist revivalist, contributing to the holiness movement of the mid-1880s and the Pentecostal revival.

Why She Matters: She preached alongside her husband, but was more popular because female preachers were unusual for the time period. She spoke in support of women in ministry and founded a mission for alcoholics in New York City.

5. Fanny Crosby (1820-1915)

Who She Was: A hymn composer, Crosby did not let her blindness stop her from writing 8,000 Christian hymns including “Blessed Assurance,” “Rescue the Perishing,” and “Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior.”

Why She Matters: Crosby’s incentive for writing hymns was to bring others to Christ. She was criticized for “feminizing” church music, but continued to write music, believing that her work was divinely inspired.

6. Catherine Booth (1829-1890)
Who She Was: As a street preacher in London and co-founder of the Salvation Army with her husband, Booth had a heart for those in poverty.

Why She Matters: Crosby sparked a movement to help the poor, in addition to making huge strides in women’s rights in ministry. She wrote Female Ministry: Women’s Right to Preach and led hundreds of women known as “Hallelujah Lassies,” female evangelists in the Salvationist movement.

I wouldn’t say it’s being selfish to pursue a calling that God has placed on your heart. “I would say it’s being obedient. If a calling is truly from God, to not pursue it is to not believe He will equip you to where He has called you.”

Has God placed a calling on your heart to do work for Him? How do the Christian women listed here inspire you to further God’s Kingdom?

asalimpo:
Because women were created as an after thought and for Man.
Women are not hierarchically equal to man. They were created to support man. Man is created to be answer directly to God.
It would be perverse for God to put man under woman.

That's y when God knew that man had disobeyed him in eden, He didnt first direct his question at Eve, even though she fell first. But at the one,whom he had entrusted with the care and governance of the garden.

Why do women have such a small role in the Bible? Why is so little said about women in the Bible?

It is undeniable that relatively few women are mentioned in the Bible, and extremely few have what might be considered “major” roles. The reasons for this are mainly cultural. However, several women in the Bible had huge roles to play, and the honor they were given continues to this day.

During the historical periods covered by the Bible, most societies were patriarchal, meaning men held exclusive power with the rare exception of a ruling queen. These power dynamics extended to every part of life, including religion, government, and family. Since the Bible mainly records historical events, such as the rise of the nation of Israel, and the acts of leaders such as prophets and priests and kings, the vast majority of people mentioned are men.

Many Bible scholars point out that the number of women who are recorded in the Bible is unusual, given the male-dominated society in which the Bible was written. The inclusion of the stories of women, from Hannah and Ruth and Esther and Deborah in the Old Testament to Mary and Elizabeth and Priscilla in the New, seems to indicate that God values women more than society as a whole did. Of special note is the resurrection account. The disciples of Jesus, all male, were hiding in fear while the women went to the tomb, discovered it empty, met the risen Lord, and became the world’s first evangelists (Matthew 28).

During most of the world’s history, women played a smaller role than men, and that reality is accurately reflected in the Bible. The majority of kings and other leaders were men. Women were accustomed to being relegated to secondary roles. That’s part of why the woman at the well was shocked that Jesus spoke to her: “The Samaritan woman said to him, ‘You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?’” (John 4:9). It wasn’t just that she was a Samaritan, but that she was a Samaritan woman that caused her to think Jesus would overlook her. But she was wrong; Jesus had come to seek and save all who were lost, women included. And, in Christ, men and women are absolutely equal (Galatians 3:28).

To know more about the subject matter

What does the Bible say about falling in love? Is falling in love a biblical concept? What does it mean to fall in love?


To “fall in love” is to become enamored with someone or to begin to feel love for him or her. Falling in love is an expression describing one’s emotional state when the happy feelings of what’s assumed to be love start to grip the soul. The Bible does not speak of falling in love, but it does have much to say about love.

The Bible presents love not as an emotion but as an act of the will. We choose to love; that is, we commit ourselves to act in the best interests of another person. The idea of “falling in love” relies on warm emotions, fuzzy feelings, and (more than likely) surging hormones; the biblical view of love is that love can exist apart from feelings; no hormones are needed to obey the command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (James 2:.

Of course, nice emotions often accompany love, and we naturally have warm feelings toward someone we’re attracted to. And of course it’s good and proper to have fuzzy feelings and surging hormones when in the company of one’s spouse. But if that’s all there is to “falling in love,” then we’re in trouble. What happens when the fuzzy feelings fall away? What about when the hormones stop surging? Have we fallen “out” of love?

The bible remain the 'word' of God

Why should I trust the Bible?

We all trust in something. Even the most skeptical among us exercises complete trust in many things. When we stand up, we trust that our legs will hold us. When we sit down, we trust the chair. We trust that, when we inhale, the right amount of oxygen will be present to sustain us. When we go to bed, we trust that the earth will continue its rotation so that morning will come. We have chosen to place trust in these things because of their past reliability. We choose to trust; otherwise, we would live in in a constant state of fear and uncertainty.

When it comes to God and the Bible, the same principles apply. We choose what we trust. Faith in God means that we have chosen to trust that He exists, that He is who the Bible says He is, and that our trust—or lack of it—will radically impact our lives and eternity. However, the alternative to faith is not “lack of faith.” To choose against faith in God also requires trust. We must trust that God does not exist, that He cannot be known by us, and that this choice has no impact on our lives and eternity. Denying God’s existence takes an even bigger leap of faith because the questions raised in the Bible still demand to be answered. Those who discount the Bible must supply answers themselves to countless questions with no ready answers, such as those dealing with the meaning of life and the complexity of design seen in the universe. Many who choose to trust something other than the Bible must finally agree with atheist Bertrand Russell, who concluded that, if life beyond the grave is a myth, then life before the grave has no meaning.

When choosing where to place our trust, we must consider the reliability of each option. The Bible makes some startling claims about itself. Some people think they can pick and choose which parts of the Bible they consider true, but the Book itself never gives us that option. It states that it is the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16), that it is true (Psalm 119:160; John 17:17), and that it is the guidebook for our lives (Psalm 119:105; Luke 4:4). To trust that this is not true means that everything else the Bible claims is suspect; therefore, claiming the promises while ignoring the commands is irrational.

To declare that the Bible is untrustworthy means we must find another reasonable explanation for its miraculous nature. For example, of the nearly 2,500 prophecies given in the Bible, hundreds or thousands of years beforehand, 2,000 of them have been fulfilled, with the remaining 500+ unfolding with time. The probability of all these prophecies being fulfilled without error is roughly one in 1020000. So, to trust that the Bible is not a miraculous book is mathematically inconsistent.

There are several factors to consider in determining the trustworthiness of the Bible, the first being the oft-challenged statement that the Bible is true because it says it is true. It would indeed be foolish to base trust on that factor alone. We would not hand over our checkbook to a stranger who says we can trust him because he is trustworthy. But we can start with the Bible’s claim of trustworthiness and then look for supporting evidence to validate it.

Helping us trust the Bible are the claims of the writers themselves. The Old Testament authors declared that they spoke the very words of God (Exodus 20:1–4; Deuteronomy 8:3; Isaiah 1:2; Jeremiah 1:1–13). Certain men were designated by God as prophets, kings, or leaders and were recognized as such by the people they served. The prophets qualified most of their pronouncements with the words, “So says the Lord” (e.g., Jeremiah 45:2; Zechariah 7:13). This declaration was often met with rebellion and persecution (Matthew 23:37; 1 Kings 19:10; Acts 7:52). There was no earthly reason for a prophet to declare unpleasant truths to people who were likely to stone him. Yet, the prophets continued to proclaim their message because they were completely convinced that the Lord held them responsible to represent Him faithfully. The words of the prophets were then recorded for future generations and accepted as the words of God, even by Jesus Himself (Matthew 4:10; Luke 4:.

The New Testament authors identify various reasons for writing. Luke, for example, was a respected physician and historian who traveled with Paul on his missionary journeys. He explains the purpose for his book in the first chapter: “Just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught” (Luke 1:2–4). Luke personally researched the claims about Jesus in order to verify the veracity of the gospel narrative and wrote the twin books of Luke and Acts.

Paul’s letters to the churches were received by the intended audience as having come from the Lord (1 Thessalonians 2:13). It is also critical to note that most of the New Testament authors were martyred for their words. It is highly unlikely that such a wide assortment of men, all claiming a single truth, would suffer extreme persecution and eventually be murdered for words they knew to be a lie.

Another factor helping us trust the Bible is the life-changing impact the Bible has had for thousands of years. The Bible has withstood the attempts of kings, dictators, and whole societies to abolish it and still remains the top-selling book of all time. Its words contain a hope not found in any other religious writing and has transformed the lives of millions. Other world religions claim loyal adherence, but the glue that holds most of their faithful is fear, intimidation, or human effort. The Bible promises what no other book does: life, hope, and purpose as a gift from Almighty God. Its words have transformed murderers, tyrants, and nations because the Bible resonates as truth in the deepest part of the human soul (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The Bible may be rejected, hated, or ignored, but its impact on those who heed it cannot be discounted.

Ultimately, God has given each of us free will to choose what we believe. But He has also placed His fingerprints all over His creation, and He has written an instruction manual so we would know how to live (Psalm 19:1; 119:11; 1 Peter 2:11–12). His Word has given us ample evidence that it can be trusted, and those who do trust the Bible have a solid foundation upon which to build their lives (see Matthew 7:24–28).

Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

FBI reveals plot to massacre Christians in Detroit church as admitted by Muslim who ‘plans to do jihad’ in U.S.

A 21-year-old American Muslim who “loves to hear people begging and screaming” has admitted to the FBI that he intends to shoot up a church full of Christians in Detroit.

According to affidavits filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit, Khalil Abu-Rayyan from Dearborn Heights, Michigan, said he had already selected a church for his massacre plan. He said it was located less than a half-mile from his place of employment. He even indicated the reason why he chose this church: It was large – up to 6,000 members – and an easy target, WND reported.

Survey:51 Percent of Americans Say the Bible Has Too Little Influence on Society





A recent survey revealed that the majority of Americans value the Bible and want to see it have a greater role in politics as well as the church.

The Illinois Family Institute reports on the results of the American Bible Society’s fifth annual State of the Bible survey.

The survey polled 2,000 Americans on questions related to the Bible, culture, the Church, and politics.

One of the rather surprising results of the survey was that 51 percent of Americans said that the Bible has too little influence on society today. Only 19 percent said that the Bible has too much influence on society.

In addition, 56 percent of survey participants said that politics would be more civil if politicians read the Bible more. Over 60 percent said that they would like to read the Bible more themselves.

The Bible also came in first as the religious text which the majority of survey participants said was sacred literature. Seventy-nine percent of participants said that the Bible was a holy text, while only 10 percent said the same of the Koran, followed by seven percent who said the Torah was a holy text, and four percent who said the same of the Book of Mormon.

The survey also found that the Midwest and the South are the regions of the country most likely to have a Bible in the households of residents. Ninety-four percent of Midwesterner reported having a Bible in the house and 92 percent of Southerners reported the same.

As far as Bible versions go, the King James Version is still the preferred translation, with 39 percent preferring it. Other versions cited were the New King James Version, the New International Version, and the English Standard Version.

Although many of the survey results were positive, some findings revealed that the Bible may be absent in some churches.

“One-quarter of adults say they never hear the Bible read aloud at a church service or Mass,” according to part of the survey summary.

Newborn twins seen on video hugging each other during bath

A woman uploaded a video that showed newborn twins hugging each other during a bath.


The bond between twins is said to be like nothing else, and this video proves that the strong bond begins at birth.

The YouTube video of the two baby brothers has melted hearts as they are seen embracing each other.

The video has taken the Internet by storm, and has already been viewed more than 9 million times since it was uploaded on about 10 days ago.

The images of the newborns clutching each other while receiving their first bath was taken by a French midwife in order to promote her baby spa, and judging by the explosive response, it has certainly struck a chord.

She warned parents not to try this at home.

U.S. faces new health threat: Leprosy transmitted to humans by armadillos

As if the public health emergency caused by the Zika virus infection is not alarming enough, another new medical threat is emerging in the United States.

In its December 2015 "Emerging Infectious Diseases" report, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned of rising cases of leprosy in the U.S., particularly in the states of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

The infectious disease—caused by the bacterium known as Microbacterium leprae in the scientific community, and whose patients were once placed in isolated areas—was reported to be transmitted not just by human beings but also by slow-moving animals known as armadillos.



"Leprosy appears to be an emerging infection of armadillos throughout the southeastern United States," Dr. Rahul Sharma from the CDC explained in an article on hcplive.com.

Sharma and colleagues at the National Hansen's Disease Program Laboratory Research Branch in Baton Rouge, LA, screened a total of 645 armadillos from eight areas in the southern U.S. not known to harbour enzootic leprosy, and made an alarming discovery.

Sharma's team found a new leprosy genotype in the animals, which has already been transmitted to humans. Therefore, cross-species infections have already occurred.

What's more alarming is the fact that the mechanism by which the bacterium was transmitted from armadillos to humans still remains undetermined.

The research team suspect that the bacterium is transmitted to humans through direct exposure to blood of dead armadillos, said to be "the host of choice" for leprosy.

Sharma further explained that the leprosy bacterium attacks a person's peripheral nerves early in the course of the disease, which leads to a patient's evident disfigurement and deformity.

"There are tremendous misconceptions about leprosy...extensive neuritis and nerve damage underlies the gross pathology and deformity we sometimes associate with leprosy...appendages don't just fall off, lack of sensation makes them very susceptible to secondary injury and trauma," he explained.
