Spirit and Life Devotional: Take Action Now

TAKE ACTION NOW

I'm inspired by the story of Madison. At the age of 15, Madison Robinson has made sales of over a million Dollars! She came up with the idea for Fish Flops at the age of 8. At 8! You'll agree with me that many people have fantastic ideas, the difference between them and Madison is that she started at 8.

Statistics have shown that about 95% of people procrastinate occasionally. What it simply means is that many of us have delayed, and are delaying our successes. Listen, you won't spend much time praying and confessing for success and prosperity if you'll take action quickly.

Spirit and Life Devotional: Praying For Each Other

PRAYING FOR EACH OTHER

There are several ways to help, care,  and manifest love for each other, one of them is by praying for each other. Praying for each other is talking to God on behalf of someone else; asking God to do what you might not be able to do and to be where you might not be able to be.

James 5:16 says, "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results." We quote the latter part of that verse often, but have often failed to see its connection to praying for each other. When you pray for another, results are guaranteed.

Female students banned from wearing bras to exams in China

More than nine million students packed exam halls across China for the opening day of the country’s university entrance exam on Friday -with attempts to stop cheating even leading to bans on metal bra clasps.

Students in the northeastern province of Jilin were banned from wearing clothing with metal parts and education authorities installed metal detectors in exam centres to clamp down on “wireless cheating devices”, the state-run Global Times reported.

Authorities have become increasingly concerned about the risk of examinees using devices such as smartphones – some of which have become smaller and easier to hide – as an illicit aid during tests.

Clarifying Nigeria's debt position - Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

         

A statement from the Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

There has recently been a lot of misinformation and misconception in our public debate on debt. My goal in this article is to shed some light on the public debt, to clarify the real state of Nigeria’s debt position, and hopefully, provide a knowledge platform for constructive debate.

Let me say at the outset that no one in government is supportive of a Nigeria that returns to a high state of indebtedness. On a personal note, having gone through tremendous stress during the quest for Paris Club debt relief, I am committed to a Nigerian economy that is fiscally prudent, balances its books and remains at a low state of indebtedness.

Saudi Prince sues Forbes for libel because they said he was only worth $20billion in magazine's Rich List

A Saudi prince is suing Forbes magazine for libel because it said he was only worth $20billion in its annual rich list instead of $30billion.

Being listed as worth $29.6billion would have placed him in the list's top ten.

Alwaleed accused Forbes of 'flawed and inaccurate, displays bias against Middle East investors and financial institutions' in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph in March.

The Chinese Baby That Was Rescued In The Sewage Pipes

Whether it is an ape or a cheetah or a rat, all mothers are vicious when it comes to protecting their young.

Yet, as the perversity of human condition would have it, not all vicious mothers are well-meaning.
