IT IS EQUALLY A WOMAN'S WORLD-Adebowale Ibukun Oluwatosin

Adebowale Ibukun Oluwatosin

The woman is given to the man as a help meet and not as a house slave.This has always been my belief and in this way I relate with my wife at home.The following piece from Adebowale Ibukun is quite in line with what the Scripture teaches us about the woman/man relationship.God bless you as you read. A recent event triggered the memory of this story that really got me thinking. Here I was in a duplex I rented in Accra, as the only male in the house and here comes my landlord to preside over a meeting with all tenants. How will you clean the common room? He asked. I came up with a plan to draw a table to rotate it amongst ourselves and he said to me, 'You are a man', let the ladies decide amongst themselves.
You know the amazing part of it? I was the only student. They were all graduates, working class ladies, who leave home early and get back late used up, but all that didn't matter, as long as I'm a man they had to sweep the floor while I inspect. Honestly, that day it dawned on me that something is really wrong with the mind of the average African man. Something is really wrong.
And you know the baffling thing? The ladies didn't protest! They really were going to agree until I spoke up. I mean, we all pay same money and use the apartment equally but being a man makes me free from being responsible in taking care of house? How did we get here?! This is sick! I can't imagine having daughters

YOU ARE SOMETIMES LIKE THAT! -Olusa Bamidele Emmanuel

If we involve God full time and at the onset in our ministry,career,businesses,jobs,family life etc,it will take us less efforts to succeed .But if we depend on our strategies and human wisdom,we shall soon become exhausted.Read this following short article from a friend and brother Olusa Bamidele Emmanuel from Nigeria

YOU ARE SOMETIMES LIKE THAT.
Something very funny happened yesterday evening, my children were trying to carry a particular load from one place to another, they were full of zest and being two they felt they could do it all by themselves without involving me, when they discovered they couldn't do it they beckoned on our neighbour's child for support, the three of them tried but to no avail, so when they discovered that it was falling down on them they quickly shouted DADDY, all the while I was sitting somewhere not too far away from them hoping to see how far they could go without asking for my help and I was enjoying their drama but the moment they saw they couldn't go far with it they called on me for help and I did help them without much effort, after helping them they all bursted into laughter and I too joined them in doing so.
As I was considering what the children did, 1. if they had involved me from the beginning, it wouldn't have taken them that far before they accomplished the task. 2. I also thought that it would have been an opportunity for them to learn from me. So as I was pondering on their actions then God spoke to me in a plain language DO YOU KNOW YOU'RE SOMETIMES LIKE THAT ? I was shocked when I heard that, then God continued by saying many times you think you can solve life's problems with your own strength, wisdom and experience without me only to later realized the futility in your efforts then you call on me for help.
It was like I was hit with a heavy object and my heartbeat got increased and immediately I began to ask God for forgiveness.
Are you not sometimes like that, you think you can do it all by yourself forgetting that God is always willing and ready to help. Please and please let's stop depending on ourselves or friends but learn to defend on God's wisdom and strength to solve all life's problems. Thank you.

BILLY GRAHAM WARNS BELIEVERS ABOUT GETTING INTO DEBT

Famed evangelist Billy Graham warned believers against jumping into debt by standing on New Testament wisdom. 
Graham responded to a reader in a question-and-answer column: 
"We're deep in debt because of our credit cards, and I don't think we'll ever get out. I guess it's just too easy to buy something with a card instead of digging up the cash. Please warn people about the dangers of debt, because it can really mess up your life. It sure has ours," the reader pleaded. 
However, avoiding debt is not just about embracing a healthy financial portfolio, Graham says. 

Thank you for your warning, and I hope many will heed it—because you're right: debt can be like a millstone around your neck. No wonder the Bible warns us against excessive debt, and tells us to "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another" (Romans 13:8).

FRANKLIN GRAHAM REBUKES OBAMA FOR DEFENDING ISLAM

Evangelist Franklin Graham will no longer stand in complacency for President Barack Obama's apparent endorsement of Islam.

In a Facebook post, Graham wrote:
Mr. President, I read in the The New York Times today where you reportedly blasted Donald J. Trump for wanting to tighten the borders and accused him of painting a whole religion as violent.
A Muslim can murder 49 innocent people in a gay club, and you still defend the religion of Islam.
But a Christian who refuses to bake a homosexual's wedding cake endures prosecution, financial ruin, and nation-wide shaming because of their faith, and you stay silent!

I BEGGED GOD TO TAKE MY SOUL FROM MY BODY-ORLANDO SHOOTING SURVIVOR

When in the face of death,the worst of all sinners must remember God.The atheist must know that the almighty God exists.The question now is this; why would one wait till death comes so close before considering reconciling with God.The story is that of a 20 year old who was at the night club when the evil struck.God must have spared her life,gave her a second chance.Very touching story.

A CHRISTIAN MESSAGE TO HOMOSEXUAL AMERICANS IN THE WAKE OF THE ORLANDO SHOOTING

A man sits and cries after taking part in a candlelight memorial service the day after a mass shooting at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida

I know that many of you not only are hurting today, but you are also angry. And your anger is not just directed at the Muslim terrorist who slaughtered so many of your people. You are also angry with Christians like me, believing that we have helped to create the toxic, hateful atmosphere that led to the horrific massacre.

A gay activist in Charlotte, North Carolina, with whom I've shared meals and interacted many times, expressed his anger toward what he called the "sanctimonious (expletive)" of conservative Christian leaders, saying, "You helped cause this massacre. Your anti-LGBTQ theology assisted in helping others, including the Orlando shooter, in seeing each of our precious LGBTQ lives as dispensable and worthy of death. ... (Expletive) your prayers and y

JOEL OSTEEN ON WHY YOU DO NOT NEED TO ALLOW 'WORRY' TAKE OVER YOUR LIFE

A lot of people these days are professional worriers. They can multi-task: worry while taking a shower, worry while brushing their teeth, worry driving to work. It's easy to wake up in the middle of the night and find something to worry about.
I wonder how many things you're worried about that are never going to come to pass.
Somebody asked me if I could do anything over again, what would I do differently? I told them I would trust God more. I wouldn't lose sleep worried about the budgets, or worried if I was able to minister, or worried if people are going to like me. None of that worrying helped me to move one inch forward. When I look back over my life, most of the things I worried about never came to pass. I wasted a lot of time and energy being uptight.

THE GREATEST ENEMY TO MARITAL SUCCESS IS SELFISHNESS; MARRIAGE ADVICE FROM BILLY GRAHAM

Ruth and Billy Graham were married for more than 60 years. Here they are by their fireplace at their home in Montreat, North Carolina.

Question:

My fiancé and I are getting married in a couple of months, and we're really looking forward to our lives together. But so many of our friends have already been through at least one divorce, and we don't want that to happen to us. How can we prevent it?
Answer:
The most important thing you can do is to build your marriage on God and His will for your lives. As my wife used to say, a strong marriage actually needs to include three people: the husband, the wife—and God.

5 WAYS PARENTS CAN UNINTENTIONALLY RUIN THEIR CHILD’S LIFE!

There are five parenting traps that many well-intentioned modern parents fall into without even knowing it.

“You’re mean!”

“You just don’t understand!”

Have you ever wondered if you are doing a terrible job as a parent? We’ve probably all thought that at one time or another. Parenting is a tough job; often times more art than science. Yet the unpopular parenting decisions you make are most likely contributing to your child’s health, not their detriment.

But there are five parenting traps that many well-intentioned modern parents fall into without even knowing it. These attitudes and behaviors easily go undetected because they are ingrained in the culture around us. Let’s consider five ways we as parents may be unwittingly ruining our kids:

1. Amusement as the highest priority.

We don’t want our children to be bored or to scream in public places, so we hand over an electronic device to amuse them. As this becomes the norm, your child learns to crave constant amusement and entertainment.

HILLARY CLINTON IS THE GREATER EVIL;EVANGELICAL SEMINARY PRESIDENT,RICHARD LAND DECLARES

Southern Evangelical Seminary President Dr. Richard Land told OneNewsNow on Friday that the 2016 presidential election could be the ugliest campaign ever, and he predicts it will be very close between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.
But that being said, there's a distinct difference between the two candidates.
"Frankly, I think we're dealing with a choice between a lesser evil and a greater evil," he said. "Mrs. Clinton is the greater evil."
Land also noted a poll taken last month that indicated nearly three-fourths of Democrat voters felt Clinton should be able to continue campaigning, even if she is indicted as a result of her use of a private email server while secretary of state. He said he was amazed by those results.
"So what if she is a crook, so what if she lied under oath, so what if she's broken the law, who cares? That says more about the Democrats and Mrs. Clinton than it does about us as a nation," he said.
And while he's never been much of a fan of Trump, he's urging evangelical voters to vote for the Republican nominee-in-waiting.
"[I]f we don't help the lesser evil prevail over the greater evil, we become responsible morally for helping the greater evil to prevail," he said.

GO TO PRAYER VIGIL NOT NIGHTCLUB DANCING:APPROXIMATELY 20 PEOPLE DEAD IN ORLANDO NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING

CNN Breaking news;Approximately 20 people dead in Orlando nightclub shooting; 42 people taken to hospitals, police say.May their souls rest in perfect----------
Dear friends, the devil has nothing good to offer anyone here on earth, this is why we are preaching Christ every day and night to everyone to consider his eternal and genuine love for their souls,run away from worldliness and such practices that give the flesh much pleasure.The word of God says that the wages of sin is death Romans 6.23,yea, this is referring to spiritual death, but when the soul is allowed in a state of spiritual death for a long time,it tends to lead to physical and untimely death.I believe that investigation to the cause of the unfortunate  incidence is on going and probably the perpetrators might even be brought to book.But then this cannot bring back the dead who had gone to eternity already .Dear friend, let us walk in the light of the word of God,walk in right and fruitful  associations and not in the wrong ones.Go to such places that bring glory to the name of the Lord and which also can help in our spiritual growth.

INSANITY AND DEMONIC OPERATION:A 65 YEAR OLD MAN FORCED 11 YEAR OLD GIRL INTO SEX REPEATEDLY

We must hasten up to preach the gospel of repentance to everyone on earth with serious prayers and fasting.Salvation keeps the flesh in subjection to the spirit.It helps in shielding one away from gross sins,shame and ridicule.The story below is that of a 65 - year old man who clearly seduced the 11 year old to have sex with her,but the man now claims that it was the little girl who threatened to report him if he refused to have sex with her.How on earth would one believe this kind of excuse.What does the 11 year old girl know? Why would one be growing old disgracefully instead gracefully like Billy Graham,E.A Adeboye and a host of others? I pray that the man finds Christ even in his old age and be reconciled to God before he kisses the grave.

The girl was the one who was troubling me, asking me to have sex with her. I told her she was too young but she insisted, saying she had been having sex before coming to me.

“When I attempted to have sex with her, I discovered that my manhood could not enter her private part. I don’t know whether her hymen was broken through fingering. But I succeeded in having sex with her two times. She was with me for four days before I was arrested.”

A WHITE GARMENT CHURCH IN THE UK FINED £230 FOR NOISE POLLUTION

According to tribune online,a parish of celestial church in UK has be cautioned and fined for noise pollution.

The pastor of an evangelical church in Essex has been fined for holding 'unbearably loud' services in the middle of the night.Akinseye Iyun, head of the Celestial Church of Christ in Grays, Essex, led services involving amplified music, drumming and chanting as often as four times a week, frequently finishing as late as 4am.And he ignored complaints from neighbours, claiming that the building had been sound-proofed."It's not really reasonable the amount of noise they're making – you don't hear that from any other church," one local told the Thurrock Gazette.

MONETIZING BLESSINGS FROM THE LORD?.THE CHURCH IN THIS GENERATION IS GOING TOO FAR!

I read a post on Nairaland and wish to share it with you.This is about a particular region of the Redeemed Church.The region has 'forms' for members to fill in order to make various monetary and property sacrifices to the church.See the picture of the form below.Inasmuch as I believe in sacrificial giving,tithes and offerings,I think we should still go about it with a sense of spirituality and decency.For a church to give out this kind of form for members to fill is way out of order.The church belongs to the Holy Ghost and if there is any need in the church, I do not think we should go this far in obtaining money from members.What do you think of this?

BIZZARE! A 2 YEAR OLD BOY CASTRATED AND BRUTALIZED BY MOTHER,BISHOP OYEDEPO AND TB JOSHUA VISITED HIM

The barbaric action happened in Kano Nigeria,the Emir has visited the boy according to report.

We also gathered that Bishop Oyedepo and TB Joshua have also visited the boy.The mother who ran away has also been tracked and arrested.The evil in the world is taking a worrisome shape nowadays,why should a mother brutalize her own son? some incidences are just too hard to believe.I am really glad that Bishop Oyedepo visited the innocent child.This is what it means to be the light of the world, we should lead the way in showing the world that we care.It is not enough to go about preaching the bible,we should always be ready to show practical love to those in need of it.I believe that God in his infinite mercy will enable the boy recover and get a life and that the law will take its cause on the mother.

BILLY GRAHAM ON HOW TO HANDLE NEGATIVE PEOPLE

People who are negative about everything and always criticizing everyone are admittedly hard to live with—and sadly, they seldom change.

But they aren't only unpleasant; what they are doing is also a sin in the eyes of God. Why is this? One reason is because they probably aren't telling the truth, that is, what they're saying about the person they're criticizing often isn't true. Even if partly true, it's not the whole story, and it only brings hurt and conflict.

TBN CO- FOUNDER JAN CROUCH DIES AT 78 AFTER MASSIVE STROKE ATTACK

TBN co-founder Jan Crouch died early Tuesday morning after suffering a massive stroke. She was 78.

"Laurie and I have just watched the transition of our precious mother from this world to the next; watched her step into the presence of Jesus and into her heavenly reward," Matt and Laurie Crouch said in a statement, "Jan Crouch, known around the world as Momma Jan, has gone home."

Crouch and her husband, the late Paul Crouch, founded the Trinity Broadcasting Network in 1973. She produced multiple television programs including Praise the Lord, The Glory of America and Say Yes.

"Those who battled for the kingdom of God knew her as a fighter—someone who didn't give up, someone who fought relentlessly to get the gospel around the world," Matt and Laurie said. "Viewers of the Trinity Broadcasting Network knew her as someone who partnered with Paul Crouch in the launch and expansion of TBN, and as someone who came into their homes for over 40 years."

Crouch was the daughter of Reverend and Mrs. Edgar W. Bethany, and grew up in Columbus, Georgia. Her father served as a pastor in the Assemblies of God denomination, and was the founding president of Southeastern University (Florida). While attending Evangel College in Springfield, Missouri, Crouch met Paul F. Crouch.
