A God Thing

A God Thing
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."1
According to Jim Green, Executive Director of The JESUS Film Project, "A Jesus film team was driving to a film showing site in a Muslim nation, a remote region that has hardly been touched by the Good News. It was a restricted area, with many hazards for those who would dare to openly share their faith. As the team drove along, they prayed that God would go before them and open doors of opportunity and give them safety.
"Just before they arrived at the village, a policeman flagged down their car. It seemed that an Islamic teacher needed a ride. The officer made the introductions and asked if they could help. Feeling it was an acceptable and necessary risk, they agreed and offered a ride, and continued towards town.
"You can imagine the anxiety the team must have felt when this highly respected teacher asked, 'Tell me, are you the ones planning to tell people about God?'
"Entrusting themselves to the Lord, they responded, 'Yes, we are.' Apprehension turned to astonishment as they listened to what this teacher said next. Bouncing along the dusty road, the teacher told the team how he had experienced a unique dream.
"'I was told to come to this spot in the road, at this time, and that I would encounter someone who would tell me about God. It must be you.'
"They gave him some literature that JESUS film teams carry in the local language, and invited him to come the showing of JESUS that night. He not only came but also helped distribute literature to the people!"2
It is my personal conviction that if an individual sincerely seeks God and his truth, God will reveal himself to him/her in whatever way or through whomever he chooses.
Suggested prayer: "Dear God, thank you that whenever I or anyone sincerely seeks you with all their heart, they will find you. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."

Official - Brits Heading for the Dip As London 2012 Begins

Official - Brits Heading for the Dip
LONDON, July 26, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
- glacéau vitaminwater urges Britain to 'skip the dip' in run up to london 2012
- More time is lost each year in dips, than through sick days!
glacéau vitaminwater, best mate and official worldwide partner of the London 2012
Olympic games, today announces research findings to show that whilst athletes may be honing their performance and going for gold this summer, Brits face a battle to avoid dipping each day (skip the dip.)
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120726/546479 )
A 'blonde moment' or a 'funny five minutes' are commonly referred to, but it seems that many Brits from all backgrounds dip on a regular basis. a YouGov spokesperson said, "this research shows us that a huge number of Brits experience dips or lulls in energy, a lack of focus or lapses of concentration during mid morning and afternoons." The study of over 2,000 people across the UK shows that 74% of Brits experience dips regularly[1], with nearly a quarter a fifth (22%) having these happen multiple times each day.
84% of Brits that dip do so for more than 5 minutes at a time, with 10% saying that their dips last for more than an hour. In total Brits lose more time through dips each year than full time workers through sick days[2], with a total of an estimated GBP17bn being lost.
The research shows suggests its not just bored office workers pummeled by power point and endless meetings into an upright snooze, 57% of full time students who dip are doing so in libraries and lectures theatres up and down the UK.
Although many of us dip, it seems each part of the UK has their own preferred ways of doing it. the welsh who dip experience them on a night out twice as much as the national average (20% vs. 9%), so expect to see more vacant expressions on a night on the tiles in Cardiff! and whilst the reputation of Londoners may be go-getters in the endless hustle and bustle of the urban jungle they are in fact most likely to be zoned out on public transport (twice the national average at 26% compared to 14%)
Overall dippy brits have admitted to not being at their personal bests when in dips with 77% of dippers citing the afternoon as a common dipping period. 21% of dippers admit to having forgotten the name of the person they are introducing in the last year, with 13% emailing or texting the wrong person when failing to overcome a mind slump. one subject questioned confessed to putting butter in the washing machine by mistake, whilst another confided that they had put on two shirts in the morning, whilst in the midst of the dip.
It also seems Brits have some equally whacky tips to help them skip the dip, with respondees confessing to remedies ranging from a self-slap in the face, yelling out loud and spontaneous star jumps.
Greg Whyte, professor of sports science and trainer to the likes of David Walliams, Eddie Izzard, and Fearne Cotton says we can all think of ways to skip the dip. "We all have dips throughout the day which are often associated with low energy levels and dehydration. These can lead to a loss of concentration and affect how well you can perform even simple tasks - by the time you feel thirsty that means it is too late!
Keep well hydrated by varying the drinks you consume. glacéau vitaminwater is a great choice; it tastes great and has some of the added vitamins and minerals that you may need. you can also give yourself a boost by taking regular breaks from what you are doing, getting some fresh air and daylight and having some fun. Sometimes even a joke is enough to break us out of a dip."

Fuel Subsidy Fraud Being Perpetrated by the Nigerian Government
Fuel Subsidy Fraud Being Perpetrated by the Nigerian Government
National President of NUPENG, Achese Igwe, said it was high time Nigerians asked questions on why the refineries had been allowed to be in comatose and the diversion of its crude products for refining in the open market, while their refined products were returned to look like the imported.
~ The Guardian of Nigeria
According to the National Union of Petroleum and National Gas Workers (NUPENG) of Nigeria, the government deliberately abandoned the four refineries in the country and diverted crude oil to the open market for offshore refining and later returned the crude oil products as imported petrol and kerosene to be sold to ignorant Nigerians at inflated prices.
The President of Nigeria cannot claim to be ignorant of this criminal act of economic sabotage, because crude oil cannot be taken out of Nigerian territories without the knowledge of the Ministry of Petroleum, even if the management is incompetent.
The government is riding for a fall by deliberately abandoning the refineries and then diverting the 445, 000 bpd crude products meant for the four refineries.
The government cannot engage in these sharp practices and then turn around to point accusing fingers at oil thieves who cannot steal one barrel of crude oil without the active connivance of those in the corridors of power from the Niger Delta to Lagos and Abuja. The President of Nigeria and his cabinet cannot pretend to be innocent while these sharp practices of economic sabotage are going on before their very eyes. .

ECOWAS Defence Chiefs Must Intensify Efforts for Regional Peace And Security
26 Jul 2012 03:12 Africa/Lagos
ECOWAS DEFENCE CHIEFS URGED TO INTENSIFY EFFORTS TOWARD ENDURNG REGIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY
ABUJA, July 26, 2012/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- The ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, Mrs. Salamatu Suleiman, has called on regional defence chiefs to redouble efforts at ensuring enduring peace and security in the region.
Speaking on behalf of the President of the ECOWAS Commission at the opening of an emergency meeting of the Committee of Chiefs of Defence Staff (CCDS) on Mali in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire on Wednesday, 25th July 2012, the Commissioner noted that while there were relative calm in Mali and Guinea Bissau, security challenges remain in the region.
She cited the recent attack on a refugee camp in western Cote d'Ivoire that resulted in loss of lives and expressed the Commission's sympathies to the government and people of the country over the incident.
Commissioner Suleiman also updated the gathering on the situation in Guinea Bissau, where police units from Nigeria and Burkina Faso have been deployed following the departure of Angolan forces, preparatory to the implementation of the Security Sector Reform (SSR) after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Guinea Bissau authorities and the ECOWAS Commission.
In considering the report of the Technical Assessment Team (TAM) that visited Mali from 7th to 18th July 2012, she urged the defence chiefs to come out with concrete recommendations that would “move the region forward in our collective quest for enduring peace and security.”
Speaking in the same vein, the Chairman of the CCDS and Cote d'Ivoire's Chief of Defence Staff, General Soumaila Bakayoko, expressed satisfaction with the quality of work and professionalism of the Technical Assessment Team led by Brigadier-General Mohammed Lai, Chief of Staff of the ECOWAS Standby Force (ESF).
He urged the Abidjan meeting to recommend practical steps on the modalities for the planned deployment of the ECOWAS Mission in Mali (MICEMA), to assist in the stabilization of institutions and the restoration of the country's national integrity in line with the decision of the 41st Ordinary Summit of Heads of State and Government.
Declaring the meeting open, Cote d'Ivoire's Minister of Defence, Paul Koffi Koffi, represented by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Mr. Alexis Ahonzo, said Africa and the whole world was watching and waiting for ECOWAS to do what is necessary for the restoration of peace in Mali.
Before the opening, the meeting being attended by armed forces chiefs, chiefs of police and gendarmeries of selected Member States as well as the Special Representative of the President of the ECOWAS Commission to Mali, Aboudou Cheaka Toure, observed a minute's silence in memory of Ghana's President John Evans Atta Mills, who passed away on Tuesday, 24th July 2012 at the age of 68.
The Committee has held several meetings as part of the regional efforts for the resolution of the crises in Mali and Guinea Bissau following the coups d'état which interrupted constitutional rule in both countries, and the separatist rebellion in northern Mali.
