Motivational Doctor has got some Health News for you – Clogged arteries result from the build-up of a substance called plaque in the arterial walls. It is also medically referred to as arterial plaque. This plaque can reduce blood flow or even block it altogether. Clogged arteries increase your risk of developing other health complications like a heart attack or stroke. Some of the most common risk factors for clogged arteries are:
High levels of LDL (bad cholesterol) or low levels of HDL (good cholesterol)
A high blood pressure
Smoking tobacco
Diabetes or elevated blood sugar levels
A family history of atherosclerosis or clogged arteries
Stress
Obesity
A sedentary lifestyle
Most cases of clogged arteries do not exhibit any symptoms until a heart attack or blood clot presents itself. However, in cases where 70% or more of the arteries are blocked, you will notice the following symptoms.
Severe cases of clogged arteries may exhibit symptoms like:
On January 6, under increasing pressure from the international community and with the support of der Pakistani lawyer Saif-ul-malook and continued support from investigative journalist Gary Cartwright and Willy Fautré of Human Rights Without Borders, the impossible has proven possible. The judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan this morning agreed to bail and ruled that Nadeem Samsom should be released immediately. This Christian man has been in jail since 2017 for alleged blasphemy
On January 2, 2022, Andy Vermaut as a representative of the International Alliance for the Defense of Rights and Liberties (AIDL) & fundamental rights movement Postversa in the Bed & Breakfast Hortense in the Belgian city of Koekelare had a meeting with the biological brother Shakeel Anjum Raphael (here we use a pseudonym) of Nadeem Samson who came especially from New York to the Belgian city of Diksmuide and municipality of Koekelare to discuss the latest strategy to get his brother liberated. Andy Vermaut:”Meanwhile, I was in constant contact with Willy Fautré, Gary Cartwright and Manel Msalmi and the International Secretariat of the International Alliance for the Defense of Rights and Liberties (AIDL) in Paris to keep pressure on and keep this case on the international agenda. Hard work certainly pays off.”
Andy Vermaut says: “First of all, I would like to highlight the support of the Catholic Church in this matter and the help of his brother Shakeel Raphael who worked day and night to get this on the international agenda. Without the National Commission for Justice and Peace, which bore the legal costs of the case, the release would have been impossible. Now there are still some administrative formalities to be settled. The release order must now be put in an administrative power order. The National Commission for Justice and Peace has announced that it will pay all the legal costs, because without their financial support, no proper defense would be possible. Of course, we cannot yet declare total victory… After his release, he is not at all safe in Pakistan.
The National Commission for Justice and Peace will have to make sure that he gets a safe house, where he will be permanently protected against death threats. Even though the man is innocent, he must now also fear for his life in Pakistan. I would also like to give special thanks to Laurent Brihay of the press club in Brussels for the high-level conference we were able to hold there on July 28 at the Press Club Brussels Europe under the auspices of the Alliance Internationale pour la Défense des droits et des Libertés (AIDL) from Paris. Afterwards, we organized a second conference at the Press Club in Brussels, where I, Andy Vermaut of the International Alliance for the Defense of Rights and Freedoms specifically put the case of Nadeem Samson, wrongly accused of blasphemy, on the international agenda in this conference, as did advocate Willy Fautré, Director of Human Rights without Borders, also Peter Van Dalen, Member of the European Parliament and Manel Msalmi, President of the European Association for the Defense of Rights and Freedoms. Without the cooperation of all these phantastic people and without the constant support of Gary Cartwright, Nadeem Samsom would still have to remain in prison.
You cannot force such a release alone, you have to be able to work together in a coalition of organizations, otherwise you cannot stand up to a state power. Together we were the white knights who still believe in justice for Nadeem Samson, and often we are labelled as naive, but the victory in this case, is proof of the power of justice. Yiehaaa. On September 17, I also delivered a letter on this subject to the External Action Service in Brussels, which was very difficult for them to accept. I had to insist for at least half an hour, but today the proof has been delivered that those who dare to persevere can actually achieve a lot and our systems, however bureaucratic they may sometimes be, can still function. So I will always remember January 6, 2022 as the day of justice.”
Abraham Piper, who is the son of popular theologian and author John Piper, recently posted a 36 second message on TikTok, wherein he berated fundamentalist Christians for having children.
“It’s wild that just anyone basically can have kids,” Piper said. He then quickly clarified the demographic he was referring to, saying, “I’m not talking about teenagers or drug addicts or whatever group that might come to mind when you think of less than suitable parents.”
Changing his voice to a sort of mocking tone, Piper said, “I’m thinking about stand-up American citizens that also happen to be fundamentalist Christians.”
“These people should not be having children,” Piper exclaimed while smiling into the camera. Read more …
Festival of Praise (FOP) is a free annual musical event that hosts a night of praise, worship and prayer for the city of Manchester and the United Kingdom. Its first edition was held in 2011 at the O2 Apollo Theatre Manchester. It came about as a result of a long awaited vision given to the Senior Pastor of Jubilee Church – Pastor Abimbola and Folu Komolafe. After earnestly seeking the face of God for revival and the growth of the body of Christ in Manchester and the UK at large, this vision was birthed and resulted in the catalyst for revival called Festival of Praise.
Apart from promoting revival in the city of Manchester and the United Kingdom, FOP is also an avenue for bringing together people of diverse backgrounds and cultures from across the UK to celebrate our faith in Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the world and also encourage community cohesion. The Christian Community in Manchester and UK has rallied behind the vision of making Festival of Praise a successful annual event.
FOP has featured over 60 ministers bringing down the presence of God since 2011, including Mary Mary, Sinach, Hillsong London, Nathaniel Bassey, William McDowell, Tasha Cobbs, Ron Kennoly, Israel Houghton, Matt Redman, Kirk Franklin, Todd Dulaney, Pastor Donnie McClurkin and Social Beingz – to mention a few.

Myanmar (International Christian Concern) Although the town in Christian-majority Chin state is now deserted after four months of intense fighting, and hundreds of houses have been burned to the ground, the Burmese Army (Tatmadaw) continues to set houses and churches in Thantlang on fire.
According to Chin Human Rights Organization (CHRO), on December 30, the Assembly of God Church and one of the Thantlang Association of Baptist Churches’ buildings were burned down by the Tatmadaw along with more than 50 structures. Light Infantry Battalion 222, 269, and Light Infantry Division 66 are to be blamed for the arson fires, which started from four different blocks and lasted for nearly nine hrs.
Drone footage shot by CHRO also shows fires raging inside buildings, charred churches, collapsed schools, and ruined homes. Associated Press reports that the Tatmadaw is again employing a tactic of destroying entire villages where there may be support for the opposition. Satellite imagery the AP obtained from Maxar Technologies shows that more than 580 buildings have been burned in the northwestern town of Thantlang alone since September.
In the meantime, a 16-yr-old youth, arrested on Christmas eve while visiting a prayer mount in Chin state’s capital Hakha, was being paraded yesterday by Tatmadaw soldiers on the streets to identify townsfolk suspected of anti-junta activities. Another teenager is held incommunicado and might be tortured under LIB 266 custody. Read more …
Pope Francis said on Sunday that Christ’s Incarnation shows that God wants to live with us and in us. Speaking at the Angelus on Jan. 2, he described Christmas as an invitation to see the world from God’s perspective.
“Dear brothers and sisters, often we keep our distance from God because we think we are not worthy of him for other reasons. And it is true. But Christmas invites us to see things from his point of view,” he said.
“God wishes to be incarnate. If your heart seems too contaminated by evil, if it seems disordered, please, do not close yourself up, do not be afraid: he will come. Think of the stable in Bethlehem. Jesus was born there, in that poverty, to tell us that he is certainly not afraid of visiting your heart, of dwelling in a shabby life.”
In his live-streamed address, Pope Francis reflected on the day’s Gospel reading, John 1:1-18, which proclaims that “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
He said: “And this is the word: to dwell. To dwell is the verb used in today’s Gospel to signify this reality: it expresses a total sharing, a great intimacy. And this is what God wants: he wants to dwell with us, he wants to dwell in us, not to remain distant.” Read more …

Salvation Ministries , a Nigerian Church acquires US Mega Church Building. Bishop David Ibiyeomie, Senior Pastor of Salvation Ministries, Nigeria shares on how the Church acquired a MEGA Church property in United States for $10.
The Church property located at Birmingham, Alabama 35217 in United States and Formerly Called Central Baptist Church Now Called Salvation Ministries. Central Baptist church was founded and erected October 1923 in Tarrant, Alabama. It is located at 1225 E. Lake Blvd, Birmingham, Alabama, United States.
The property has been an integral part of the community for decades and comprises of 3 floors, fully equipped with an institutional kitchen that can prepare meals for 1,000 people at a time. It has two sanctuaries; the first ican seat 750 – 900 people (with two floors) and the second sanctuary seats 250 – 350 people.
The property comprises of two massive buildings joined together and both have three floors. The total number of rooms are 27-32. It has an administrative section which has a Pastors office and section for a secretary and offices for staff. It has over 9 lavatories and state of the art indoor gymnasium in the middle of the building which is large enough to seat up to 500 or more people and is furnished to host two basketball teams in a game. It also has changing rooms. Behind the sanctuary, there is a customized area for indoor baptism with views from the sanctuary. It has several rooms for children ministry, game rooms for entertainment, cloak rooms for choir members, a library, multiple storage rooms, a prayer room, over 4 grand pianos (top quality), three external entrances and parking for members, around the church premises.
There is also a plot of land that can be used to erect a live-in quarter in future. The property was insured for a monetary value of 7 million USD. The building itself has a square footage of 51,000 square ft. The previous Mayor of the city of Tarrant, the Honorable Loxcil B. Tuck was the mayor for 16 years (Longest serving female mayor in the history of the state of Alabama) until she retired in 2020. She was one of the trustees of Central Baptist Church in Tarrant.
In 2020, she and the trustees of the church where she has worshipped for over 40 years, decided that the time had come for them to hand the church to a aith and Bible-believing church, that would take it over and use it for the glory to God, to reach out and make great impact in the City of Birmingham and state of Alabama. They unanimously decided to reach out to Billy Graham Ministries, who they have so much respect for, based on the impact of the ministry globally.
When they reached out to Billy Graham Ministries, they were elated and appreciative but surprisingly, after talking amongst themselves, they decided that they would rather hand the building to another ministry that has great integrity and one that preaches and lives by the undiluted Word of God. They decided that the only ministry that fits the description, is no other than Salvation Ministries, under the leadership of Pastor David Ibiyeomie. The only condition given was for Salvation Ministries to make a one-time donation of $1,000 to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
Salvation Ministries acquires Central Baptist Church Tarrant, Alabama
They reached out to Salvation Ministries and the Trustees of Central Baptist Church obliged them and by the favor of God, things moved quickly since October 2021 and on the 22nd of December 2021, the ownership of the property was transferred to Salvation Ministries, with Our Presiding Pastor, Billy Graham ministries and the church trustees in attendance. Salvation Ministries paid only a symbolic token of $10 for the building.
