Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – The Faith Currency

Topic: The Faith Currency [Seeds Of Destiny 26 August 2019 Devotional] The limit of your faith determines the limit of your purchasing power in the spiritual. SCRIPTURE:  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report.  Hebrews 11:1-2 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:  You cannot purchase higher than the faith at your disposal. Faith is a spiritual currency with which supernatural transactions are made. In the spiritual, faith is like what money is in the physical. All the purchases you can make in the realm of the spirit are made by the currency of faith. Favour, greatness, divine supplies, divine health, miracles, etc. are accessible by faith. So, the limit of your faith determines the limit of your purchasing power in the spiritual. Beloved, the kind of things you can access in the realm of the spirit are limited by the extent of your faith. You cannot purchase higher than the faith at your...

DCLM Daily Manna – Be Not Dismayed

Topic: Be Not Dismayed [DCLM Daily Manna 26 August 2019 Daily Devotional By Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi] Text:  1 Samuel 17:1-11 (KJV) 1 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim. 2 And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines. 3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. 4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. 5 And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass. 6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders....

Africa: If We Want Water for All, Building More Taps Just Isn't Going to Wash

[Thomson Reuters Foundation] As delegates gather in Stockholm for World Water Week, I am encouraged to see that their focus will be on 'including all'. Providing sustainable water and sanitation to everyone on the planet is one of the most critical development challenges we face. But, if we are to meet the global goal to 'leave no-one behind', we need a new approach. via LATEST NEWS

Buhari Is A Lazy President By Bayo Oluwasanmi

Bayo Oluwasanmi Bayo Oluwasanmi   I have been following Muhammadu Buhari's Presidency since 2015. Based on his extensive overseas trips from 2015 to 2018, I penned a piece “Buhari: The Absentee President” published by SaharaReporters on May 23, 2019. The article summarised in eloquent details, Buhari's overseas junkets year by year, month by month, and date by date. I conclude that what emerges from his overseas jaunts is a damning verdict of an absentee president – physically and mentally. Like his first term, Buhari's second term took off on a disappointing note. He didn't hit the ground running. It took him months to appoint his ministers. Even so, some of the ministers appointed are thieves, looters, and despicable politicians.  Today, Buhari jets out of Abuja to Tokyo, Japan, amidst plethora of national problems facing Nigerians: insecurity, uncertainty, fear of tomorrow, unemployment, violence, kidnappings, killings by Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen ter...

Alabama Centennial half dollar

Alabama Centennial half dollar . The Alabama Centennial half dollar is a commemorative fifty-cent coin struck by the United States Bureau of the Mint in 1921 as a belated acknowledgement of the 100th anniversary of Alabama's admission to the Union in 1819. The half dollar was created by Laura Gardin Fraser, who became the first woman designer of a coin. Alabama Congressman Lilius Bratton Rainey introduced authorizing at the request of the state's centennial commission. The bill moved quickly through the legislative process and became law on May 10, 1920. The sponsors of the issue chose to depict William Bibb, the State of Alabama's first governor, and Thomas Kilby, its governor at the time of the centennial, thus making Governor Kilby the first living person to appear on a U.S. coin. They were issued in October 1921, and to boost sales, a symbol, 2X2, was included in the design for a minority of the coins; these are generally more expensive today.
