ABUJA: Nigeria insisted on
Monday (Tuesday in Manila) it will
crush Boko Haram militants and
avoid another election
postponement, even as violence
raged and the Islamists’ leader
vowed to defeat a regional force
hunting them. National Security

neighboring Niger and reports
emerged of 20 people kidnapped
in Cameroon, with 12 of them
executed. The new polling date is
March 28 and April 11.

Presidents don't go to war Like Bible kings my friend. They don't do hard labour, they don't wash their cars or load cement or sit down and sell electronics, hawk each day etc . . . . I therefore feel if a youth has failed, he shouldn't just remain in there till he gets old because he is a youth, or from your region, religion or tribe.

Politics / Meet The World's Poorest President And Why He's Called So!! by vanen2: 10:04pm On Feb 06, 2015
José Alberto Mujica Cordano (79) is a Uruguayan politician who has been President of Uruguay since 2010. He has been described as "the world's 'POOREST' president", due to his austere lifestyle and his donation of around 90 percent of his $12,000 (£7,500) monthly salary to charities that benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs. If we need more of anything in this world, it would be more people like this! This man doesn’t put value on his appearance or clothes. He is criticized for his posture and clothes, but Jose puts more value on other things in life instead. There’s no reason for money, fame, and a nice place to sleep when you can be humble and live on a farm. This president lives the life! His part time farming job, keeps him aware of the struggles and life that most other people of his country go though. He also grows and then sells flowers from his farm. You can see him frequently driving his old 1987 Volkswagen Beetle. He doesn’t need a fancy Bentley, because he doesn’t care about having a extravagant appearance. His people are what matters and what matters are his people. Even though he is known as the poorest president, he strongly disagrees. He says, “I’m not the poorest president. The poorest is the one who needs a lot to live… My lifestyle is a consequence of my wounds. I’m the son of my history. There have been years when I would have been happy just to have a mattress.” This president’s example is a testament to how we should live our lives. We don’t need more things to be happy. In fact, some of the most wealthy people in the world, have their wealth stored in the currency of unselfishness, kindness, and true love. The world needs more people like this. Don’t you agree?

Religion / My Colours Will Be Clear - A Must Read For Nominal Christians by vanen2: 9:26pm On Feb 06, 2015
Check out this mission statement
by a young African pastor found
among his papers in Zimbabwe
after he was martyred!
I’m a part of the fellowship of the
unashamed. The die has been
cast. I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made. I’m
a disciple of His and I won’t look
back, let up, slow down, back
away, or be still.
My past is redeemed. My present
makes sense. My future is secure.
I’m done and finished with low
living, sight walking, small
planning, smooth knees,
colorless dreams, tamed visions,
mundane talking, cheap living,
and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence,
prosperity, position, promotions,
plaudits, or popularity. I don’t
have to be right, or first, or tops,
or recognized, or praised, or
rewarded. I live by faith, lean on
His presence, walk by patience,
lift by prayer, and labor by Holy
Spirit power.
My face is set. My gait is fast. My
goal is heaven. My road may be
narrow, my way rough, my
companions few, but my guide is
reliable and my mission is clear. I
will not be bought,
compromised, detoured, lured
away, turned back, deluded or
delayed.
I will not flinch in the face of
sacrifice or hesitate in the
presence of the adversary. I will
not negotiate at the table of the
enemy, ponder at the pool of
popularity, or meander in the
maze of mediocrity.
I won’t give up, shut up, or let up
until I have stayed up, stored up,
prayed up, paid up, and
preached up for the cause of
Christ.
I am a disciple of Jesus. I must
give until I drop, preach until all
know, and work until He comes.
And when He does come for His
own, He’ll have no problems
recognizing me. My colors will be
clear!
Are you ready to carry the
banner of Christ before you?
Are you ready to rise up and
become the men and women of
God He created you to be?
Will your colors be clear?

If you are not prepared for Christ, you will be Left Behind. No body will enter Heaven by suprise. Jesus said it's better to make Heaven with one eye and one hand than to enter hell with both eyes and hands. This means it's better to suffer pain physically, hunger, persecution, insults and forfeit worldly pleasures etc for the sake OF CHRIST. MAY THIS WORDS OF GOD CHANGE YOU.

Religion / The Incredible Salmon by vanen2: 1:45pm On Feb 06, 2015
The life of a salmon is very interesting. From the fresh water rivers, they go through their normal life cycle as eggs and fingerlings and eventually live in the sea. But once they reach maturity, they have an absolute resolve to go back to their spawning grounds, hundreds or thousands of kilometres away. The trip back to their spawning
grounds is a seemingly
impossible task, full of dangers, traps, and obstacles, as they will
be swimming against the
overbearing current of the rivers.
Many of the salmon die going
back to their grounds – bears
and birds of prey catch them and
eat them. Some of them hit the
rocks, logs, and other obstacles
along the way and die.
Sometimes they have to swim
through shallow waters just to
get through their journey. But
they never stop or rest from
swimming against the current –
otherwise it would carry them
away from their destination. The
incredible things is, in order for
them to reach their spawning
grounds, they have to jump
upstream, up a waterfall and
sometimes more than once in
their journey. Many of their
jumps fail but they persist – until
they get through the waterfall, or
die trying. Against all odds, many
of them eventually reach their
spawning grounds and a new
generation of salmon eggs are
laid and later hatch to become
fingerlings. You can probably
count yourself lucky not to be a
salmon!
But you are a Christian. And
guess what? The odds are
stacked heavily against you if you
are resolved to follow God. And
there is a very strong current
that is sweeping across the face
earth. A current of wickedness,
immorality, blatant and not so
blatant sin. Acceptance and
practice of ungodly values and
activities pervade the world we
live in.
I really don’t know who is in a
better place – the salmon
swimming upstream to their
spawning grounds or us
Christians trying to live holy lives
in an unholy world.
Pursue...holiness, without which
no one will see the Lord
(Hebrews 12:14). God desires us
to pursue holiness at all costs,
because without holiness we
cannot see the Lord. Make no
mistake about it – the world that
we live in is an unholy world. We
need to actively pursue holiness
if we desire to draw closer to
God, because the world will not
give us holiness on a silver
platter but will put all hindrances
and obstacles in front of us. It is
extremely difficult to win the
battle, and we need to learn from
the salmon: to have an absolute
resolve, come what may, to reach
our “spawning grounds” –
heaven.
Religion / Addiction: The Devil's Tool by vanen2: 1:12pm On Feb 06, 2015
“Cravings are a bent form of
hunger. The body hungering for
something that is poisonous, and
like puppets in a play, we dance
to its deadly song.”
How does Satan gain control? By
creating and fulfilling need —
creating dependency, and
providing the sole source of
fulfillment. Alcohol, sex, heroin,
caffeine, nicotine, even junk food
are prime examples of his
destructive tools of control.
The list is endless, pornography,
sleeping pills, fantasy books, late
night infomercials, diets, internet,
dating chat lines, even the cable
shopping channel. There are
therapists who specialize in
helping lonely souls overcome
shopping channel addiction.
People will sit up day and night
watching this stuff. It becomes
their closest friend, sometimes
their only companion.
Any form of stimulation, whether
drugs, alcohol, porn Internet or a
roller coaster ride, falsely
heightens sensory awareness
through an increase of
adrenaline in the blood stream.
Heart rate increases, the body
tingles, palms sweat, emotions
soar and imagination runs wild.
This state is always temporary
and results in a stimulation
deficit causing a feeling of
restless emptiness.
Sex was created by God. It is
given to the husband and wife as
a wedding gift to enjoy physical
and spiritual union. Between a
married couple it is the dance of
love. A sweet incense pleasing to
God. In marriage, it is one of the
most holy acts our flesh can
engage in. But Satan has twisted
sex into a powerful destructive
lever—a tool of control.
Respected Christian leaders have
been caught with their pants
down for all the world to see.
Broken men with broken
dreams, teaching God, living in
sin. Satan laughs as the world
asks, is nothing sacred? Who can
we trust? Christian ministers,
husbands, wives, teachers,
politicians, rock stars, and
teenagers have come crashing to
the ground because of sex. It is a
powerful tool because it has
been created by a powerful God.
In the same way, food in its
twisted state, has the power to
control. Sugar, salt, and fat–laced
foods are physically and
emotionally addictive. The
average North American Diet is
clear evidence of Satan's agenda.
Healthy, nutrient–rich foods,
twisted into addictive tools of
control.
Cravings are a bent form of
hunger. The body hungering for
something that is poisonous, and
like puppets in a play, we dance
to its deadly song. Promising
satisfaction, only to end in
sickness, suffering, and a hellish
cycle of dependence.
Culture is in a constant state of
evolution. Directing that
evolution is the key to power. A
force that impacts the
unconscious movements of the
herd. Man is a creature of habit;
we live our lives in patterns. The
world is changing and we are
changing with it. Changes that
affect how we think and feel. It
seems we have been caught in a
tide, so busy swimming to keep
up there is no time to stop, think,
and consider the direction life
has taken. And as the years roll
by, we wonder where the time
has gone, too frightened to even
consider how meaningless our
lives have become.

Politics / Re: What Is President Jonathan Afraid Of? by vanen2: 12:42pm On Feb 06, 2015
diluminati:
i'm asking this because i just heard they are preparing a security report for jega to convince him to postpone the elections.
Now i am wondering why do it now? at the dying moment? what has been happening for the past few months?
a government that carefully analyze risks and wars would never stoop this low, the chain of plan of events would have been created
many months back, the decision should have been made 6 months back.

If it was just 2 months back gej was pushing for the postponement of the election,
it would be a logical reasoning, nobody would think it obvious that gej has something sinister up his sleeve,
interim govt? rigging or declaration of life presidency aka mugabe or what?

Then there must be a reason for this desperation at the dying minute.
Then in logical reasoning he must be afraid of something because fright causes
desperation, the uncouth one we have seen from pdp for 3 weeks now.

So i am asking what is the President afraid of?
who?
why?
Jonathan may be 100% sure of victory but he knows he can loose

Good Morning! How was your Night?
_____________________________
Spiritual Digest for the Day 4th Of February 2015

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Every true great man has a humble beginning and does not rise to greatness suddenly. There will be no limit to your greatness and prosperity irrespective of how humble your beginning may be, when the Lord goes along with you in the journey of life!!!

***********************

BIBLE VERSE FOR THE DAY
"Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be." (Job 8:7 NIV).
______________________________
The beginning of everything in life is always in obscurity. No man can actually predict the dimension of the greatness of a man at the beginning of his life. Even with the fact that your beginning is also vital to what you will become in life; it does not necessarily define your end. Therefore, if you are in Christ, don't ever define your future and the plan of God over your life with the knowledge of your background. Don't limit what God will do with your life because of your present circumstance. The man that should never be underated is the one who put his faith absolutely on God. You can only experience setback in a bid to becoming what God planned for you if you fail to undergo the process laid down on the pathway of greatness. Trust your life only to God who can transform your destiny and He will lead you into an unquantifiable path of greatness. The Lord will honour and make you a blessing in every place you have experienced disappointments in Jesus name. Amen!!!
Have an Uplifting Wednesday!!!
WORD bro. Thanks and thanks. Therefore, if you are in Christ, don't ever define your future and
the plan of God over your life with the knowledge of your background.
