All Your Need

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
— Philippians 4:19

Christian Post Report – Some preachers today have hijacked the words prosper and prosperity. They say that God wants everyone to be wealthy and healthy, and so you are to just speak it out, and God will give it to you. That is their focus. And that is wrong.

    Greg Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California and Harvest Orange County in Irvine, California, shares the Gospel with a sold-out crowd of 19,000 for Harvest America at the American Airlines Center and Victory Park in Dallas, Texas, Oct. 5, 2014.

There is a place for prosperity—biblical prosperity. It may be monetary. God may bless you with a lot of work or a lot of resources. But we want to be careful with the resources that God gives to us. The Bible says, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). But let’s not misunderstand this verse. Behind every promise there is a premise. Verse 19 is embedded within the context of Philippians 4.

Are you in need because you were foolish with what God gave you? Then don’t be so quick to invoke this promise. The assumption, contextually, is that you are living the way Paul speaks of in Philippians 4.

Also, this verse applies to more than just money. If your marriage is in trouble, God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. If you are single and looking for that right person, God will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus If you need a physical touch from God, He will supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. And yes, if you have a financial need, He can supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

But let’s be wise stewards with what He has given us now. And let’s remember that happiness and contentment does not come from stuff; it comes from a relationship with God.

A Netflix original series “House of Cards”

Christian Post Report – The much anticipated third season of the hit political drama series “House of Cards” is currently and exclusively available for streaming on Netflix.

While all 13 episodes are already there for the streaming service’s subscribers, some of the show’s fans might still be hankering for any information about the show. Here’s what two of the primary characters of HoC has to say about the recent chapter.

Kevin Spacey pointed out the plight of his character, U.S. President Frank Underwood.

“The third season explores what happens to these people when they suddenly are in the hot, white spotlight of being president and first lady,” he told Reuters. “That’s a very interesting dynamic to start to investigate.”

Spoiler alert for those who still weren’t able to finish the whole season: it was indicated that just like the first two seasons, Season 3 saw the powerful couple trying all their best to maintain their power and influence while being threatened with the consequences of their actions.

Meanwhile, co-star Robin Wright was able to get the chance to direct an episode of the current series.

The actress, who plays the first lady Claire Underwood, revealed how she appreciates the whole HoC family for their help in her directorial gig.

“I couldn’t have been in a better home. I had a family. I had people that cared. You know, I’m a novice,” she said. “Obviously I’d been watching for almost 30 years in the industry, I couldn’t say I had no idea what I was doing, but to actually be deposited in the director’s chair and collaborating with the different departments, that was the most treasured time.”

She went on to dish out some bits of information concerning her character by saying that fans will see a “more sensitive, vulnerable and raw side” of Claire opposite to what she was in the later episodes.

Kurt Busch May Face Multiple Hurdles to Be Reinstated by NASCAR

Kurt Busch reuters.com

Kurt Busch has been suspended by NASCAR

Christian Post Report – The saga of Kurt Bush continued this weekend when team car owner started raising questions about his return to the no. 41 car. Busch faces a long road to return, while he has signed a terms and conditions for consideration of reinstatement with NASCAR, it is not known what those terms and conditions are.

NASCAR has said the facing of criminal charges was one of these factors but since Busch will not be charged so he has cleared that hurdle. The next hurdle he may have to clear is whether or not his race team will remain eligible for the chase once he is reinstated by NASCAR.

It sounds like that will be a huge factor for Stewart-Haas Racing once Busch is reinstated. Under NASCAR rules, a driver must attempt all the races, Busch has missed three races now and would need an exception from NASCAR to remain eligible for the racing series playoff system. Currently the no. 41 is not chase eligible because of missed races by Busch and the fact that replacement driver Regan Smith declared he was running 2015 for Xfinity Series points. Under NASCAR rules, a driver may only run for points in one national touring series.

“Some of our concerns are, obviously, if he does come back, could we get in the Chase. So, those issues now kind of really reside with NASCAR,” Stewart-Haas Racing co owner Gene Haas told Jayski.com.

NASCAR has given Chase eligibility exemptions to drivers in the past for time missed for medical reasons. They also gave Tony Stewart an exemption last fall when he missed three races over the death of Kevin Ward Jr. This is a huge concern for Haas as he is not only the co-owner but his company, Haas-CNC, serves as the primary sponsor for the no. 41 team.

Christian Post Report – The countdown starts to tick as exactly one month from now, the much anticipated installment of the hit action film series “Fast & Furious” aptly titled “Furious 7,” will be hitting the theaters.

Fans of the franchise have long been looking forward for this sequel as this film would feature the final acts of its beloved mainstay actor, Paul Walker, who died in a car crash three years ago.

But before it opens to the big screen, rumors have already been circulating that yet another sequel will follow after the upcoming film. Here’s what one of the “Furious 7” cast members have to say.

To reprise her role as Mia Toretto, actress Jordana Brewster revealed to the New York Daily News that she would love to appear on a “Furious 8,” if the gossip could prove to be true.

“I’ve heard that there might be more, but nothing official yet,” the 34-year-old actress told the publication. “The fans are always sort of the ones to generate whether or not there will be more. It’s totally up to the producers. I wish it were up to me. I love being a part of this family.”

Co-producer and co-star Vin Diesel also revealed in a separate interview with Access Hollywood how doing the “Furious 7” turns out to be successful despite the sorrows they felt following the demise of their co-actor and “family,” Paul Walker.

“It was, needless to say, the hardest movie I’ve ever done,” Diesel said. “I remember when the tragedy happened, my mother said to me, ‘It’s not fair that you have to mourn in front of the world.'”

“What’s even harder is to mourn and simultaneously that the person is next to you, so every time you turn to whoever’s sitting in that chair you see not Paul,” the actor continued.

“Furious 7” is set for release on April 3, 2015.

“Whether you want to share your phone with a family member or better manage your mobile costs, Android Lollipop 5.1 now lets you use more than one SIM card on a device with multiple SIM slots,” the official press release reads.

Android 5.1 will also support High Definition voice calling through compatible phones with the condition that the feature is offered by the user’s respective mobile carrier company.

Christian Post Report – The week-long Mobile World Congress ended today, and a lot of fans and tech enthusiasts are already gearing up to identify the best devices to suit their needs.

However, before buying anything, you may want to consider the upcoming Huawei P8 flagship.

Based on the report by Phone Arena, the Chinese manufacturer decided to hold its own event in London next month, in order to get the sole attention of the world, primarily the EU markets.

Several weeks before the launch date, images of the Huawei P8 have already leaked online.

In the report, the device was recently spotted in the wild showcasing its thin frame. Based on the leaked images, the P8 may actually be thinner than the Huawei Ascend P7 announced last year.

The Ascend P7 measured 6.5mm thickness, and so the report said the upcoming Huawei P8 could boast a slimmer 6mm waistline.

In addition to the slimmer frame, some rumored specs of the device include a 5.2-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution screen, and dual LED flash to provide better camera shots for the user.

Aside from the P8, Huawei could be preparing another handset.

In the report, Chinese website CNMO mentioned a Huawei P8 Max device that has a whopping 6.8-inch display. It would also be less of a surprise if the Chinese brand announces a “lite” version of its flagship.

The Huawei P8 Android smartphone is set for launch April 15.

Real Madrid vs Schalke Live Stream Free, Start Time: Watch UEFA Champions League Soccer Online

Real Madrid will try to move one step closer to defending their UEFA Champions League title as they host Schalke 04 in the second leg of their round of 16 tie. The game takes place on Tuesday night from 7.45 p.m. GMT (3.45 p.m. ET), and information about how to watch the game online through live stream can be found below).

Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos celebrates his goal against Real Sociedad during their Spanish first division soccer match at Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, January 31, 2015.

The Portuguese star scored in the 26th minute, while the Brazilian capped things off in the 79th.

Madrid dominated possession throughout the match, holding on to the ball 63 percent of the time. As a result, they were able to attempt eight total shots, converting on their only two that were on target.

Schalke only managed six shots on goal, and despite having four on target could not beat goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

It was also a very physical contest, with 25 total fouls, and four yellow cards – one on Madrid’s Toni Kroos and three Schalke players namely Kevin Boateng, Roman Neustadter and Jan Kirchhoff.

With this return leg to be played at the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid hold a big advantage.

However, things have not been up to their standards lately as they have failed to win in their last two matches across all competitions.

They drew against Villarreal and lost to Athletic Bilbao in the La Liga, surrendering the lead to Barcelona in the process.

As for Schalke, they are fifth in the Bundesliga and recently ended their four-match winless run with a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim.

The German club will surely try to take advantage of Madrid’s misfortunes if they want to advance to the next round of the Champions League.

Klaas Jan-Huntelaar leads the club in goals scored in the competition with three, but will need help as no other player in the squad has scored more than once so far.

For Madrid, Ronaldo leads the goal-scoring tally with six, while Karim Benzema has also found the touch with five in the competition.

Kendall Jenner

Christian Post Report – Kendall Jenner has a lot of Parisian fans, apparently. During Paris Fashion Week, the 19-year-old was mobbed by a very enthusiastic crowd of her adoring fans after she just finished walking the runway for Balmain on Thursday, March 5.

According to the Daily Mail, earlier that day, her sister, Kim Kardashian and brother in law Kanye West got the same treatment as they headed to see Jenner on the Balmain runway.

In video footage from the crowded streets, Jenner can be seen attempting to make her way through a massive mob of people looking very distressed. Fans attempted to touch her and take pictures of the model, while some attempted to get her to sign autographs.

A lone security guard placed an arm around Jenner as he attempted to make his way through the crowd. Eventually, guard managed to guide the model to a waiting car.

The next day, Jenner had another run in with an overeager female fan while visiting the famed Pont des Arts bridge, also known as the love lock bridge, in Paris with fellow model and good friend Gigi Hadid.

As the two were walking along the bridge, the fan was in close proximity with them before she attempted to hug and kiss Jenner. A member of the model’s security detail had to pull the female admirer away.

After the fan encounter, Jenner and Hadid managed to carry on with their day as they were seen and photographed tossing the keys to their padlock into the river Seine after managing to find a spot to attach their lock. The Daily Mail reports that the models commemorated the visit by scribbling “PFW AW15 3/6” on their padlock.

Android Lollipop Google/Twitter/Image

Sony is getting pretty close to delivering the much anticipated Android Lollipop update for the Sony Xperia Z3 smartphones.

Christian Post Report – A report from WCCFTech.com indicated that the firmware for the Lollipop OS on the current-gen Z-series flagship has already gained the “Wi-Fi Alliance’s certification.”

This goes to say that the tech giant is perhaps “in the final stages of development of the update” for the Z3 and on its later reiterations.

“By the looks of things, the Japanese manufacturer isn’t in that much of a rush to update its devices with Android Lollipop however,” the site noted.

A dry run of the Lollipop on the Z3 was actually spotted during the MWC event in Barcelona. The video, which was recently uploaded on YouTube, offers a great deal of insight on how the latest Z-series phone looks like with the latest OS.

The smartphone did run “quite smoothly” with the Lollipop along with its trademark UI features including card based notifications, drop down settings and more others.

Other than the Z3, Sony also unveiled the Sony M4 Aqua with Lollipop in their MWC display booth. Although the changes are mostly under the hood, the recently-unveiled phone still exhibits the popular Material design in addition to the company’s proprietary Xperia theme.

Sony, meanwhile, went to their social media to announce that it will skip the Lollipop updates to non Xperia Z-series phones and will remain running on Android KitKat.

The smartphones in question are (via PhoneArena):

  • Sony Xperia E3
  • Xperia M2 Aqua
  • Xperia M2
  • Xperia C3
  • Xperia T3
  • Xperia T2 Ultra
  • Xperia E1
