Nigerian President On Spiritual Pilgrimage to Israel

Nigerian President On Spiritual Pilgrimage to Israel

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, whose country is being rocked by the Islamic terror of Boko Haram, met Sunday in Jerusalem with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu during a private, two-day Christian pilgrimage to the country.

Citing the private nature of the visit, the Prime Minister’s Office did not divulge anything about the meeting.

Due in no small part to the common threat the Islamic terrorists pose to both countries, Israel and Nigeria have forged close ties in recent years. In May, for instance, Netanyahu offered Nigeria aid in searching for the 276 missing schoolgirls, assistance that Nigeria accepted. Also, Israel provided Nigerian authorities with medical supplies following a Boko Haram attack against three churches on Christmas Day in 2011 that killed dozens.

Nigeria is currently a member of the UN Security Council, and will be a member until the end of 2015, something that could be significant if and when the Palestinian seek a resolution calling on Israel to withdraw to the 1967 lines and Israel will look for seven votes in the Council it can count on to either vote against or abstain, thereby militating against the need for the US to use its veto.

Jonathan, who was here on a similar private visit in October 2013 and met both Netanyahu and then President Shimon Peres, flew to Israel on a private jet, accompanied by an entourage of some 20 Nigerian political and religious leaders.

In addition to the meeting with Netanyahu, Jonathan visited the Western Wall, as well as visiting Christian holy sites and Mount Tabor and Mount Carmel.

Jonathan’s visit comes some four months before elections in Nigeria, where he is expected to seek re-elections.

4 Ways To Discover Happiness

4 Ways To Discover Happiness

Often, we allow for our happiness to depend on someone outside of ourselves: a significant other, a family member, a best friend. While these people can very well make us happy, this cannot be the sole form of goodness in our lives.

We must find happiness within ourselves before we seek it from other people, places or materialistic things.

Confiding in someone else for happiness is similar to retail therapy in that it is dangerous. It’s initially helpful, but in the long run, the overpriced sweater you purchased — similar to the person you turn to for a smile or a laugh — will become dull and worn out.

Creating happiness is essential for us to experience worthwhile and full lives. We are told to surround ourselves with people who make us live better. Their purpose is to enhance the happiness we already created for ourselves.

If we are not happy with ourselves, we cannot make happiness for ourselves. This dependency we seek through others causes us to be stuck in the mud of mediocrity.

Depending on someone else for happiness will drive you and the other person crazy, and your relationship will eventually fall apart.

When you confide in someone for anything in life, it leads you to have heightened expectations for the person. Something as simple as receiving a “good morning” text message every day for a month from the person you just started to date can cause turmoil.

While it is a kind gesture that makes you smile after hitting the snooze button once or twice, you will come to expect it to happen each and every day.

The dreaded day that this person does not make this effort will be the source of your first argument and you will feel “disappointed.” Both the small things and the big things will begin to bother you. Essentially, the two of you will drive each other crazy and drive each other apart, solely because you expected him or her to make you happy.
Happiness comes from the little things in your life.

Happiness should be simplistic. It shouldn’t be a shopping spree or a 10,000 dollar vacation. It should be things you can do every day. Happiness can be achieved at such a smaller scale: a sunrise, a sunset, walking your dog, the perfect cup of coffee or your favorite television show.

When you find happiness in such basic, everyday things, you’ll know you’re one step closer to keeping it in your own hands. Happiness should be something you can show and share.

And by share, I do not mean physically share, but to inspire others. When you are having a good day or week, share your sunshine with the world.

Say hello to a stranger, wave someone on to make the impossible lefthand turn on your usual commute to work, or do a favor for a friend — or a stranger — in need. While no one should depend on others’ happiness, letting your own shine may have an amazing effect on someone else.

So, if you are in a fabulous mood, let it show. Style your hair nicely, wear a bright-colored sundress and treat yourself to something sweet — anything to emphasize and control your wonderful mood!
Happiness is something you can find within yourself.

If you wake up to a cloudy Monday, anxious about the busy week you’ll have, you have two decisions. You can stay in bed all day, yielding to all responsibilities, yearning for your next vacation day; or, you can do the opposite — arguably the most important version of self-happiness.

You can seize the day and realize that while mental health days are sometimes a great idea, productivity and being active is the best way to create happiness. As strong, independent individuals, we must dig deep into ourselves and realize that we are in control of our lives.

We are in control of our smiles, frowns, tears from crying too much or laughing too hard. We are our own happiness.
Self-happiness should motivate you to meet success.

Some of the most successful people are the ones who are in control of their own happiness. Success is not a reflection of who drives the nicest car or wears the nicest shoes. Rather, success is defined by who loves what they do. If you find happiness in being a housewife, then do that.

If you find happiness in working at an accounting firm from 9 to 5 every day, then do that. If you are able to create your own happiness, you will create your own success.

If you are happy with yourself, you are stable. You can take risks, make differences, let people in your life for the right reasons and live.
Happiness and you are the priority.

Prioritizing always helps to reach your desired goal. Make a list of things you’ve designated to be priorities. Make a list of your priorities that will bring you happiness in the future. Put yourself first. Be with whom you want to share your happiness.

Make decisions that create happiness within you. By making yourself the priority, you are immediately creating and controlling your own happiness.

So, keep happiness in your own hands — even if it isn’t yet obvious why you should

Christian Bale Speaks on Moses Character as ‘Schizophrenic and Barbaric’

Christian Bale has slammed his character Moses as “barbaric” ahead of the upcoming move Exodus: God and Kings.

“I think the man was likely schizophrenic and was one of the most barbaric individuals that I ever read about in my life,” Bale told reporters.

“He’s a very troubled and tumultuous man who fought greatly against God, against his calling.”

Bale has been critical of the Hebrew character before, describing him as a “mercurial”, though he has admitted that his own Bible knowledge is lacking.

And as with all biblical epics that make it to the big screen, there has been much discussion over how accurate to the original text the final cut will be.

Director Ridley Scott said Moses’ story is “one of the greatest adventures and spiritual experiences that could ever have been,” but critics have expressed concern that attempts to adapt the movie to fit Hollywood’s standards will mean key details are lost.

Attracting particular interest has been the revelation that in the film, it is not God who parts the Red Sea, but an earthquake… Read More

‘Vicar of Baghdad’ Forced to Flee Church in Iraq

‘Vicar of Baghdad’ Forced to Flee Church in Iraq

The “Vicar of Baghdad” has quit Iraq after death threats and the beheading of children attached to his church by Islamic terrorists.
Canon Andrew White, vicar of Baghdad’s St. Georges, Iraq’s only Anglican church, said the only answer to the terrorism and killing by the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) was American “boots on the ground.”

“They’re killing us,” he said during a recent visit to Israel. “We need the international community to stand with us. We need help to provide for our people.”

Canon White is no stranger to danger: he mediated the release of the Palestine National Fund’s director when he was kidnapped in 2001; mediated the stand-off between the Israeli army and Palestinian gunmen held-up in Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity in 2002. In 2007, Canon White, who served as the special envoy to the Middle East for the Archbishop of Canterbury, raised the ransom and negotiated the release of his church’s kidnapped lay leader.

He has been forced to flee Iraq on other occasions, but this time he was warned by his archbishop to leave after threats from ISIS and following the beheading by the terror group of children.

Asked whether ISIS could be reasoned with, Canon White said, “No.” He added, “ISIS is driven by that passion that Iraq has gone very, very wrong. Among terrorists, often they have lost something big. And the Sunnis have lost ultimately their power, their responsibility and their significance. Under the Saddam Hussein regime they had essence; now they have nothing.

“We can kill a few ISIS people from the clouds; we can kill some of our innocent civilians; but we can’t really bring about change” until the ground troops enter the fray. “American ground troops,” he said.
Canon White said U.S. President Barack Obama made the mistake of pulling out of Iraq before the country could guarantee the safety of the people… Read More

World Vision Collaborates With African Church Network to Educate People About the Dangers of Ebola

World Vision Collaborates With African Church Network to Educate People About the Dangers of Ebola

World Vision, a Christian relief organization, is among the many humanitarian aid groups fervently working to halt the spread of Ebola in West Africa.

Using relationships built through an extensive network of churches cultivated over the past two decades, World Vision, through its national office in the city of Freetown, is educating Africans about the dangers of Ebola and providing personal protective equipment (PPE) to health care workers.

But the humanitarian team is also working on a plan to recruit, train and organize burial teams to handle infected corpses — a tricky endeavor that is considered a necessity in helping stem Ebola’s rampant spread.

Working closely with Sierra Leone’s Ebola National Health Force, a government task force overseeing efforts to combat the virus, World Vision is currently crafting its plan. And the idea behind it is quite simple: With the proper burial procedures, fewer citizens will contract Ebola from infected corpses.

The organization is walking a fine line, though, in how it addresses the matter, considering the cultural norms that surround burial — practices that have helped facilitate the spread.

The British Red Cross explained in a blog post Friday just one of the reasons why the virus has infected so many so quickly: “People are very traditional when it comes to burials — they wash the body, hug and kiss the deceased. Such practices have had to stop.”

So, World Vision is working to find a balance between respecting families’ traditions and keeping the public safe.

“Burial teams [ensure] that there are proper and dignified burial services happening and that the burial teams have the personal protection teams to operate,” Kristen Barredo, a program management officer at World Vision, told TheBlaze. “We’ll also be working with community health workers so that they can get out into the communities and safely talk to households.”

Barredo said that World Vision is dealing with this dynamic by educating the public about how to handle people who have contracted Ebola and those who have passed away using its “Channels of Hope” curriculum — collective standards that have have traditionally been used to address HIV/AIDS…Read More

‘King David’ Movie in the Works

Warner Bros. is launching development on a “King David” project, setting up the Biblical story with Gulfstream Pictures’ producers Mike Karz and Bill Bindley.

It’s the second David project in the works in Hollywood. Variety reported in July that Fox, Chernin Entertainment and Ridley Scott were developing a movie focusing on the King of Israel following the battle of David and Goliath.

The studio has optioned movie rights to the recently published book “David: The Divided Heart” by Rabbi David Wolpe. Warner Bros. and Gulfstream are co-financing the project’s development.

The script is being written by Nick Schoenfeld. Owen Stanley is executive producing.

“David is the most complex hero and anti-hero in the Bible,” Wolpe told Variety. “He’s a man who was a warrior, a prodigy, a poet, a king who united the nation and a man close to God who sins. I cannot imagine a more cinematic figure from the Bible… Read More

Obtaining Extraordinary Power in Prayer

Obtaining Extraordinary Power in Prayer

You can live a life of extraordinary, supernatural power! The secret is actually quite simple. God’s power is obtained through a lifestyle of intimacy with Him.

Jesus understood the connection between power and intimacy. Luke 5:15-16 says: “Great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by Him of their infirmities. So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed” (NKJV). Jesus was constantly flowing in the power of God and releasing it through His life to others. The level of His anointing was in direct proportion to His prayer life.

Everything Jesus accomplished in His earthly ministry was birthed out of the time He spent with the Father in prayer. In John 5:19 He declares, “‘Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.'” The mighty power that flowed through Jesus’ life to work miracles was a direct result of His communion with God. God taught me this truth early in my walk with Him. Both before and during my years in pastoral ministry I would spend hours a day waiting in His presence.

At that time I had no idea how God would use me to bring His love and power to thousands. I would often walk into my office at the church as a young pastor to find the manifest presence of the Holy Spirit waiting there for me. Periodically I would spend all day and night locked in my office basking in the radiance of His glory.

One day I felt guilty for spending so much time in prayer. I knew there were practical things that needed to be done. But God said to me, “Matt, if you do not have this time with Me now, you will not be able to walk in what I have for you in the future.”

Instantly all the guilt was gone. I knew that my future ministry would be released out of the time I was spending with God. And, of course, the tasks I had to do always got done.

After five years of pastoral ministry, during which the anointing of God increased on my life, I suddenly found myself being launched by Him into a worldwide, prophetic healing ministry. During the last several years we have seen thousands saved, healed and delivered by God’s power.

I attribute the anointing I have today to the years of hidden devotion I had with God as both a young person and a pastor.

I could write pages of accounts of divine encounters in which the power of God has been released as a result of my cultivating a relationship with the Holy Spirit in my life. One particularly memorable event occurred during a church service in West Virginia. It was 8:30 p.m., and we had already been worshiping for an hour and a half. Suddenly God said to me, “At 9 p.m. My power will hit this place.”

I knew something extraordinary was about to happen. I stood at the pulpit and encouraged those in attendance to continue worshiping. Then I instructed the ushers to close off all the air vents. I didn’t want anyone to mistake the air conditioning for the wind of God.

The members of the congregation lifted their hands and began to worship with a new fervor. The atmosphere became electrified with a supernatural faith.

At precisely 9 p.m. I could feel a surge of power hit my body as the person of the Holy Spirit swept across the sanctuary. Some could feel a physical wind blowing over their bodies, while others felt a tangible fire. God had invaded the meeting!

People ran forward testifying of God’s healing power. Many were instantly healed of fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, chronic back pain, chest pain, shoulder conditions, knee injuries, pneumonia and rheumatoid arthritis.

As we have allowed the Holy Spirit to move in our meetings since that incident, we have also witnessed the healing of cancer, the opening of deaf ears, the restoration of sight to blind eyes and the ability to walk to the lame, as well as the healing of deep emotions. Glory to God!

Let me encourage you to continually develop a lifestyle of intimacy with God. Not only will you experience His tremendous power, but you will also enjoy getting to know Him, walking closely with Him and learning the secrets of His heart. You will discover that fellowship with Him is the greatest joy a person can experience.

You can walk intimately with God and live in the reality of His presence every day of your life. You can be a releaser of His glory in a hurting and lost world. Whether to the woman in the grocery store who needs healing from arthritis or to the multitudes in Africa and India who are starving and lost in spiritual darkness, you can carry God’s power and love as you intimately walk with God each day.
