Seeds of Destiny 4 January 2020 Devotional by Pastor Paul Enenche – Yes, You Can Do It! Topic:  Yes, You Can Do It!

SCRIPTURE:  “And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus”  Matthew 14:28-29. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:  If you believe, you can walk on anything that is trying to walk on you; you can dare what others dread. It is confirmed that audacity is key to achievement in life. You can attain any height in life if you believe you can. This is very true! For instance, Peter ordinarily would not have dared walking on water if he did not see Jesus do it. And if he did not believe he could walk on the same water after the command of Jesus, he would not have possibly attempted it (Matthew 14:28-29). The truth is...

  Seinye, widow of Founder of Moni Pulo Limited, High Chief Olu Benson Lulu-Briggs, on Friday said that the January 25 burial date of her husband was still achievable. She made the statement while reacting to the alleged cancellation of the late billionaire’s burial earlier scheduled for that date by her step-son, Dumo, and other members of the family. In a statement by her spokesperson, Oraye St. Franklyn, Seinye said she believes that the burial was still achievable because the pre-conditions given to Dumo by the Ghana High Court before the release of the late oil mogul’s body for burial were not difficult to meet. The Ghanaian Police and government mortuary have been in charge of the body until certain conditions are fulfilled by the family. The statement reads, “Dr Seinye O. B. Lulu-Briggs believes that Dumo’s hurried and unilateral cancellation of the burial of his father for the fourth time is indicative of his unwillingness to lay him to rest. “She however main...

But CAN still claims ‘persecution’ even though it is placed at an advantaged position. “But when the Muslims’ first day of the year comes (1st Muharram), there will be no holiday....

Venture Science Fiction . Venture Science Fiction was an American science fiction magazine published from 1957 to 1958, and revived for a brief run in 1969 and 1970. There were ten issues of the 1950s version, and six in the second run. Robert P. Mills edited the 1950s version, and Edward L. Ferman was editor for the second run. A British edition ran for 28 issues between 1963 and 1965 reprinting material from The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction as well as from the US edition of Venture. An Australian edition was identical to the British version but dated two months later. The 1950's version was only moderately successful, failing due to poor sales within two years. The publisher, Joseph W. Ferman, said that he wanted well-told stories of action and adventure; the resulting fiction contained more sex and violence than was usual for the genre in the late 1950s, and science fiction historian Mike Ashley noted that the magazine was ahead of its time. The second US version w...
