Iran Accuses Israel of Failed Cyber Attack – Urban Christian News

Iran’s telecommunications minister accused Israel on Monday of a new cyber attack on its telecommunications infrastructure, and vowed to respond with legal action.

This followed comments from another official last week that Iran had uncovered a new generation of Stuxnet, a virus which was used against the country’s nuclear program more than a decade ago.

“The Zionist regime (Israel), with its record of using cyber weapons such as Stuxnet computer virus, launched a cyber attack on Iran on Monday to harm Iran’s communication infrastructures,” Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Javad Azari-Jahromi said.

“Thanks to our vigilant technical teams, it failed,” he said on Twitter. Iran would take legal action against Israel at international bodies, he added, without giving details.

His deputy Hamid Fattahi said more details would be revealed in the coming days, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.

Stuxnet, which is widely believed to have been developed by the United States and Israel, was discovered in 2010 after it was used to attack a uranium enrichment facility at Iran’s Natanz underground nuclear site.

It was the first publicly known example of a virus being used to attack industrial machinery.

Last week, Gholamreza Jalali, head of Iran’s civil defense agency, said Iran had neutralized a version of Stuxnet.

“Recently we discovered a new generation of Stuxnet which consisted of several parts … and was trying to enter our systems,” Jalali was quoted as saying by the semi-official ISNA news agency. He gave no further details.

In 2013, researchers at…

Seeds of Destiny 6 November 2018 Devotional – The Compulsory Transactions of Life

Topic: The Compulsory Transactions Of Life [Seeds of Destiny 6 November 2018 Devotional]

Scripture: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Galatians 6:8

Thought For Day: The way you live determines the way you will end in time and in eternity.

It is important to note that the world is said to be like a marketplace where transactions are made. To take in oxygen for instance, a person must give out carbon dioxide. In the same manner, every single action of a person attracts a corresponding outcome as exchange; it may be a loss or gain, in time or in eternity. So, life is all about transactions with both time and eternal consequences.

In Genesis 38:1-11, Judah slept with a woman of Canaan, a tribe of people that both God and his parents never wanted anyone to mingle with. The outcome was a series of calamities because of his failure to adhere to set principles.

Beloved, the way you live determines the way you end in time and in eternity. If there is no law or principle guiding your life, the accident of destiny is not preventable.

If a person forges signature and makes a false certificate to get a job, it is certain that he would have problem in the job because foundation determines destination. The harvest of deception is disaster.

My counsel is, at every point in your life, ensure that what you give is equal to what you get in every transaction; ensure that you are not losing more than you are gaining like Esau who made a disastrous transaction.

Remember this: the way you live determines the way you end in time and in eternity.

Assignments:
1. Always think about the eternal consequence of every action before carrying it out.
2. Study the Scripture continually and follow Scriptural principles for life.
3. Refuse to be influenced by wrong societal influence.

Prayer: Lord, I surrender all to You. Help me Lord to walk according to Your precept, in Jesus’ Name.

Daily Bible Reading: Ezekiel 14:12 to 16:41, Hebrew 7:18 to 28, Psalm 106:1 to 12, Proverbs 27:4 to 6

Quote: Your nature affects your future. Your character affects your destiny. Your habit affects your habitat. Culled from WHO ARE YOU? by Dr Paul Enenche.

Amazing Fact: When your mother was born, she was already carrying the egg that would become you.

‘Y’all, Don’t Do That Again,’ Texas High School Principal Tells Praying Students

‘Y’all, Don’t Do That Again,’ Texas High School Principal Tells Praying Students



A number of lawyers from First Liberty Institute, one of the nation’s leading defenders of religious liberty, recently challenged the decision made by a Texas high school principal to isolate students who wished to gather and pray with one another when they had a break from classes. 


“In other words, the students were told that they could not pray in view of the other students,” First Liberty clarified. 


Keisha Russell, who serves as associate counsel for First Liberty, had this to say in regard to the situation: “Students should not have to hide or be exiled to pray for each other. School officials need to remember that students don’t lose their First Amendment rights at the school house gate. We’re hoping this issue can be resolved quickly and easily.” 


A letter was sent to Honey Grove Independent School District Superintendent Todd Morrison early last week, describing the series of events that took place.


The legal team disclosed that it was representing Carrie Allen on behalf of her eighth-grade daughter, Hannah stating, “In early September 2018, Hannah and a group of other students decided to pray for one of their former classmates who had recently been in an accident. During lunch when students are permitted to talk and move around the cafeteria, the students walked to an empty table, held hands, and quietly prayed with one…

The United States has granted exemptions to eight countries allowing them to temporarily continue buying Iranian oil, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Monday, as Washington reimposed sanctions on Iran’s banking, energy and shipping industries.

Some of the eight countries – China, India, Greece, Italy, Taiwan, Japan, Turkey and South Korea – include OPEC member Iran’s top customers.

Pompeo said more than 20 countries have already cut their oil imports from Iran, reducing purchases by more than 1 million barrels per day.

78 students kidnapped by gunmen from Christian school

The kidnapping late Sunday took place near Bamenda (pictured above), the capital of the troubled English-speaking region, according to Governor Deben Tchoffo.

A video purportedly of the kidnapped children has been release on social media via men who call themselves Amba boys, a reference to the state of Ambazonia that armed separatists are trying to establish in Cameroon’s northwest and southwest regions.

 

In the video, the kidnappers force about six of the children to give their names and the names of their parents.

The children say they were kidnapped late on Sunday, and they do not know where they are being held.

The men who identify themselves as the kidnappers say they will only release the children when they achieve what they want.

 

“We shall only release you after the struggle. You will be going to school now here,” say the men.

While the video could not be independently verified, parents have been reacting on social media saying they recognise their children in the video.

Hundreds have been killed in Cameroon’s English-speaking regions in the past year, where violence between armed separatists and the military have increased since a government crackdown against protesters in the northwest and southwest regions who claim that as the English-speaking minority they are marginalised by the French-speaking government.

 

Violent separatists took up arms to…

Kenneth Copeland Devotional 6 November 2018 – You’re a Winner

Topic: You’re a Winner [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 6 November 2018]

I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one. – 1 John 2:14

Man was created to be a winner. The Bible tells us so. We read in Genesis, for example, that man was originally put on this earth as a dominating lord. God gave him dominion over the earth and everything that crept, flew, crawled and breathed there.

Man didn’t even know what losing was until he separated himself from God through disobedience in the Garden of Eden. When that happened, he ran headlong into defeat. He was forced to accept failure as his lot in life, lowering himself to a subordinate position—a position he was never meant to occupy.

It’s a sad story. But if you’re a born-again child of God, your story has a happy ending. Through faith in Christ Jesus, you’ve been made a winner once again!

In fact, God has guaranteed your success. Let me show you what I mean. Imagine you’re about to tackle a really tough job, and before you even get started on it, God speaks to you right out loud and says, I just want you to know, I’m going to personally see to it that this project you’re working on succeeds.

Well, let me tell you something. You do have God’s promise that you’ll succeed. He said in His Word that you’re an overcomer! In Him you can overcome any problem the world throws your way (1 John 5:1-5).

It doesn’t matter how much you feel like a loser. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve failed in the past. If you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, then you’ve become more than a conqueror in Him (Romans 8:37).

Does that mean you won’t have any more trouble? No. It simply means you can go through that trouble and emerge triumphant.

If you’ve been feeling like a failure lately, renew your mind to the Word of God that says you’re a success. Every time a challenge comes up, respond by saying, “Well, praise God, I can beat this thing because I’m an overcomer in Jesus!” Let that Word from God abide in your heart. It will make a winner out of you.

Scripture Reading: 1 John 5:1-5

Andrew Wommack Devotional 6 November 2018 – Seek The Will Of God

Topic: Seek The Will Of God [Andrew Wommack Devotional 6 November 2018]

Luke 22:42 “Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”

Text: Luke 22:41-42

Jesus knew it was the Father’s will for Him to be made an offering for the sins of the world. This is true because He prophesied His death and resurrection many times before. However, because of His unique relationship with God, Jesus was asking God to accomplish His will some other way, but at the same time affirming His commitment to do His Father’s will and not His own.

He was not at a loss to know God’s will and therefore, left this time of prayer trusting that whatever the Father deemed best for Him would happen.

He knew, when He began praying what the Father’s will was and He knew at the close of His prayer, that God’s will could not be accomplished any other way.

For us to pray, “Lord, if it be thy will” in response to a promise that God has given us is nothing but unbelief and is not even remotely related to what Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane. One of the foundational principles of answered prayer is that we must believe that we receive when we pray (Mk. 11:24). There is no way that we can fulfill that condition if we don’t know God’s will in that situation. Praying, “if it be thy will” takes us out of the active position of believing and puts us in the passive position of waiting and letting circumstances rule our lives. If we are seeking direction in an area where God’s will is not already expressed through His Word, then we should pray James 1:5, and ask for wisdom. Then we can believe that we receive when we pray, and with that knowledge continue our prayer in faith.

We should not be ignorant but understand what the will of the Lord is (Eph. 5:17).

The only appropriate time to pray, “If it be thy will” is when we are dedicating ourselves to the service of God, regardless of where or what that may be.

Billy Graham Devotional 6 November 2018 – God Made You

Topic: God Made You [Billy Graham Devotional 6 November 2018]

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength . . . ” — Isaiah 40:31

It is an exhilarating experience to live the new life, with Christ inside me enabling me to live it. As a man was riding along in his Ford, suddenly something went wrong. He got out and looked at the engine, but he could find nothing wrong. As he stood there, another car came in sight, and he waved it down to ask for help. Out of a brand new Lincoln stepped a tall, friendly man who asked, “Well, what’s the trouble?” “I cannot get this Ford to move,” was the reply. The stranger made a few adjustments under the hood and then said, “Now start the car.” When the motor started, its grateful owner introduced himself and then asked, “What is your name, sir?” “My name,” answered the stranger, “is Henry Ford.”

The one who made the Ford knew how to make it run. God made you and me, and He alone knows how to run your life and mine. We could make a complete wreck of our lives without Christ. When He is at the controls, all goes well. Without Him, we can do nothing.

Prayer for the day: Lord, so often I forget to give You complete control and I fail. Teach me to rely completely on You for my strength and needs.

Government in Pakistan under Pressure from Islamists Protesting Asia Bibi Acquittal

Government in Pakistan under Pressure from Islamists Protesting Asia Bibi Acquittal



LAHORE, Pakistan, November 5, 2018 (Morning Star News) – The Pakistani government on Friday (Nov. 2) capitulated to demands of Islamist groups protesting the acquittal of Christian mother Aasiya Noreen, better known as Asia Bibi, by agreeing to allow the possibility of a Supreme Court review of the verdict.


In the agreement between administration officials and leaders of an Islamic extremist group, the government also agreed to prohibit Noreen from leaving the country until the high court decides whether to review the petition.


The government found itself amid hurricane-force pressures as violent protests over the acquittal paralyzed routine life in several cities for three days, raising fears of civil war in a country already on the brink of an economic meltdown.


Soon after a three-judge panel led by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar announced on Wednesday (Oct. 31) the acquittal of Noreen, who has been incarcerated for nearly nine years on fabricated charges of blasphemy, thousands of supporters of the Islamic extremist Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) blocked main roads and highways in several Pakistani cities. Some resorted to vandalism and violence to pressure the government against releasing the Christian mother of two children and stepmother to three.


Led by firebrand clerics Khadim Hussain Rizvi and Pir Afzal Qadri, the TLP is…

Saudi Arabia Tells UN It Will Prosecute Khashoggi Killers – Urban Christian News

Saudi Arabia told the United Nations on Monday it would prosecute those responsible for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at its Istanbul consulate, as Western states pressed it for a credible investigation.

Bandar Al Aiban, the head of the Saudi government delegation at the first U.N. review of the kingdom’s record in five years, heard calls from more than 40 nations, including the United States, for a thorough inquiry and a string of rights reforms.

He told the hearing that King Salman had instructed the Saudi public prosecutor to “proceed with the investigation into this case according to the applicable laws” with a view to establishing the facts and “bringing all the perpetrators to justice”.

“As regards the passing of citizen Khashoggi, our country is committed to carrying out a fair investigation and all persons involved with that crime will be prosecuted in the justice system,” Aiban said at the end of the half-day session.

Aiban gave no details on the status or whereabouts of the 18 Saudi nationals detained in connection with the case and repeatedly declined to answer journalists’ questions about them, saying: “The case is still under investigation, as you know…I think my statement was very clear.”

Khashoggi’s sons on Monday demanded the return of the body of the Washington Post columnist and critic of the Saudi government, who disappeared at the consulate on Oct. 2.

Saudi officials initially insisted Khashoggi had left the consulate, then said he died in an unplanned “rogue operation”. The kingdom’s public prosecutor Saud al-Mojeb…
