A Prayer For The Year Ahead

Posted: 30 Dec 2017 12:29 AM PST

Whether you've just walked through the greatest year of your life, or are incredibly glad to see this one finally over, one thing is certain: God excels in making all things new.

And although a fresh calendar year can never erase all the struggles or pain you may have faced this past year, God has the power to work through even the hardest of times, bringing renewed purpose, greater strength, and a hope that the world can't ever offer.

On the heels of the celebration of the birth of our King, that reminder has the power to carry us right into a fresh, new start.

He is Immanuel, God with us.

Still. Always.

Five Verses of Hope: 
  • "…Behold, I am making all things new…" (Revelation 21:5).

  • "…but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead" (Philippians 3:13).

  • "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland" (Isaiah 43:18-19).

  • "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'" (Jeremiah 29:11).

  • "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22-23).

A Prayer for the Year Ahead: 

Dear God,
We thank you that you know our way and you have a plan. We thank you for all this past year has brought, for the struggles as well as the blessings, because we know that you work through all things and will use them for good somehow, and for your glory. We confess our need for you again, for the fresh filling of your Spirit. We ask that you would make all things new, in our hearts, in our minds, in our lives, for this coming year. We pray for your refreshing over us and for your deep peace within.

We ask for your wisdom, for your strength and power to be constantly present in us. We pray you would make us strong and courageous for the road ahead. Give us ability beyond what we feel able, let your gifts flow freely through us, so that you would be honored by our lives, and others would be drawn to you. We ask you to keep our footsteps firm, on solid ground, helping us to be consistent and faithful. Give us supernatural endurance to stay the course, not swerving to the right or to the left, or being too easily distracted by other things that would seek to call us away from a close walk with you.

We ask for your hand to cover us and keep us distanced from the evil intent of the enemy; that you would be a barrier to surround us, that we'd be safe in your hands. We ask that you will be our defense and rear guard, keeping our way clear, removing the obstacles, and covering the pitfalls. Lord, lead us on your level ground. We pray that you would give us discernment and insight beyond our years, to understand your will, hear your voice, and know your ways.

We pray for your Spirit to lead us each step of this New Year. We ask for you to guide our decisions and turn our hearts to deeply desire you above all else. We ask that you will open doors needing to be opened and close the ones needing to be shut tightly. We ask that you would help us release our grip on the things to which you've said "no," "not yet," or "wait." We ask for help to pursue you first, above every dream and desire you've put within our hearts. Keep your words of truth planted firmly within us, help us to keep focused on what is pure and right, and give us the power to be obedient to your word.

We ask for your miraculous provision for every need, we ask for your grace and favor. We pray for your blessings to cover our families. We pray that you would help us to prosper in all you are leading us to do, and bring every plan you have birthed in our hearts to fulfillment.

Shine your light in us, through us, over us. May we make a difference in this world, for your glory and purposes. Set your way before us. May all your plans succeed. May we reflect your peace and hope to a world that so desperately needs your presence and healing.

To you be glory and honor this New Year, and forever.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.

PDP Says Nigerians Are Tired of APC Govt. Failed Promises

Posted: 29 Dec 2017 10:29 PM PST

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has advised the All Progressives Congress (APC) -led Federal Government not to issue any New Year promises to Nigerians since they have not fulfilled any of the promises made in their previous messages since assumption of office.

In a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, the party said Nigerians have become overstretched by the litany of woes visited on them in the last two years by the incompetent and pretentious APC administration.

It stressed that it would be the height of callousness for the ruling party and its government to spew another round of propaganda and false hope in the name of New Year messages.

The party said: "What else would they tell Nigerians apart from inventing new lies and propaganda as they had always done, particularly at the turn of each New Year."

The PDP noted that the administration has been reeling out false promises year-in-year-out even when it has no intention of fulfilling them.

It added: "What is the need for their yearly assurances when the only thing we see is an arrogant and incompetent government plunging the nation into economic recession and visiting the citizens with the worst forms of untold hardship.

"What seriousness should any Nigerian attach to a government that takes governance for granted, puts off its Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting at the slightest whims and blame imaginary invasion of its offices by rats for the inability to meet required statutory functions?

"What else should Nigerians expect from a government that promised massive employments only to render 7.74 million Nigerians jobless between 2016 and September 2017; with combined unemployment and underemployment rate hitting 40.0 per cent as declared by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).

"This is the same APC that promised to deliver naira exchange at N1 to $1 but ended up wrecking the currency from N160-N170 to a scandalous N350-N400; the same party and its government promised to reduce the price of fuel only for it to rise from where the PDP left it at N86.50 to N300-N400 per litre.

"What do we expect from a government that so devastated the economy in 2017 that Nigerians were forced to turn to Ponzi schemes like the Mavrodi Mundial Movement (MMM) for survival only for an estimated three million of them to lose about N18 billion in the process.

"The APC misrule literarily turned 2017 into a harvest of woes; hunger, disease, violence and deaths while the nation is now being pummeled by ethnic and religious agitations and attendant violence in all parts of the country.

"Also this year, marauders, criminal herders, Badoo cultists and insurgents were on the prowl with several innocent Nigerians as victims.

"Nigerians suffered strange diseases; businesses were shut; hardship and poverty swelled mortality and divorce rates while the APC continues to thrive on propaganda and lies.

"Measured against all key performance indicators, the APC controlled Federal Government has fallen below the expectations of Nigerians."

Soldier, Three Others Arrestes For Hijacking Petrol Tanker

Posted: 29 Dec 2017 10:04 PM PST

The Oyo State Police Command has arrested a soldier attached to 81 Battalion of the Nigerian Army, Mokola, Ibadan, for allegedly hijacking a fuel-laden truck at Akobo, Iwo road, in the state capital.

Arrested with him were three other suspects.

The four were paraded on Friday before journalists by the state Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odunde.

According to the police commissioner, the suspects were picked up on November 11.

Odunde said investigation revealed that the gang was responsible for waylaying and hijacking trucks along the expressway.

He said: "The gang led by the soldier hijacked a 40,000 litre truck with registration number ABJ 132XA at about 9:30 p.m. and abducted the driver and the conductor.

"They later took them to Omi-Adio after robbing them of their money and valuables and thereafter drove the truck to Akure/Ilesa road.

"The alarm raised by the victim attracted some members of the community who alerted the police that led to their arrest and also recovered the truck."

The police also presented 17 other suspects including an employee of George Investment Company, Ibadan, who stole six Sino trucks and a Toyota Camry car belonging to the company.

Odude said investigation conducted by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad led to the arrest of the suspect and one other in Edo and Abuja.

The police commissioner said the six trucks were sold in Kaduna at the rate of N20 million, while the Camry car was given to a yet-to-be identified pastor in Abuja.

"As a result of diligent investigation by the SARS, all the trucks and two other cars were recovered and the criminal receiver also arrested."

At least 10 other suspects were arrested for alleged stealing, cultism, armed robbery, unlawful possession of counterfeit currency and impersonation.

Items recovered are two cut-to-size single barrel guns, two laptop computers, eight mobile phones, a mask and charms.

‘D’banj was not paid a dime to perform with Don Jazzy’ | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 29 Dec 2017 10:02 PM PST

After long years of hiatus as a group since their fallout in 2012, former Mo' Hits Records label stars: D'banj, Wande Coal, Don Jazzy, D'prince, Dr. Sid and K Switch, came together to deliver what can be described as an epic performance during Davido's '30 Billion Concert'.

But since the stage performance, some people have speculated that the only way D'banj and Don Jazzy would have shared a stage is if money was involved. However, when PUNCH Saturday Beats reached out to D'banj's camp, his manager, Frank, revealed how Davido made the feat possible.

Frank said,
"Let us not get things twisted, not a dime exchanged hands for any reason. The entire performance was not motivated by money at all. It was Davido's initiative, he wanted it to happen at his show so he went for it and he got what he wanted. He spoke to all of the former Mo'Hits crew members individually, they saw his point and they granted his request. Davido is a good kid, he spoke to every member of the Mo'Hits crew. He thought about having a Mo'Hits reunion at his show and he got it.

"It was an exciting show and D'banj loved the performance. Davido made the request that they do a reunion at his show and D'banj simply honoured his request. He wanted the Mo'Hits crew to perform at his show because they were people he looked up to before his career started. He made a request and they all agreed that it could be done. Before the performance, everybody was backstage having fun and when they were through with the performance, they all went to the green room and the atmosphere was a lovely one. I was there with them and if you had the opportunity to have seen them bond, you would not have even believed that they ever broke up. There was no awkwardness at all. It was the same ambiance that surrounded them when they were still Mo'Hits."

5 Reasons To Stop Cleaning Your Ear Wax Out

Posted: 29 Dec 2017 09:29 PM PST

If you are engrossed in the practice of swabbing your ears with cotton buds, it is time for you to stop. This is because it has been discovered that ear wax is good for you due to the following reasons. 

However, according to Jumia Travel, this does not mean that people do have actual ear wax problems that need to be addressed with ear wax removal. You should not use a cotton bud.

It is not a sign of uncleanliness Some people make more earwax, while others make less. The makeup of earwax varies depending on ethnicity, age, environment, and even diet. However, it's not a reflection of uncleanliness; in fact, it's a sign of normal, healthy ears.

It can result in loss of hearing If you are an expert in ear cleaning, you may have permitted old ear wax filter into your ear canal. This can lead to ear loss or reduced hearing.

Ear wax keeps the ear healthy 
Ear wax protects your ears against bacteria, fungal infections and viruses. Amazingly, it even repels insects! It also protects and lubricates the inside of the ear canal to keep it healthy.

It can lead to ear injuries 
If you are not discreet about cleaning your ears and you insert just any sharp object, it can lead to serious ear injuries. And if you laggard in taking appropriate action, you are playing with ear loss.

Your ears can clean themselves 
Cerumen or earwax stops dirt and dust from entering the ear canal thus preventing it from slipping deeper down where it could block your eardrum and dull your hearing. Activities such as yawning, chewing and talking moves the dirty ear wax out of the ear canal. In addition to this, ensure you take a regular shower.

Chrissy Teigen’s plane diverted after brothers boarded flight on one pass | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 29 Dec 2017 09:22 PM PST

Two brothers who boarded a plane on one pass may be facing criminal charges after the Tuesday flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo was turned around.

The disastrous All Nippon Airways flight, which model Chrissy Teigen live tweeted, was diverted four hours after takeoff and returned to LAX after crew members discovered that one passenger had boarded without the correct pass.


Law enforcement sources told ABC that the brothers, who are both American citizens, each had tickets to Tokyo; one ticket was for ANA and the other was for United Airlines.

Both men, however, boarded Teigen's ANA flight. They were interviewed by authorities after landing back at LAX and released, according to ABC.

The brothers have not yet been charged, but the FBI is reportedly weighing criminal charges. .

The airline could also face fines from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

ANA apologized to the customers on the flight in a statement Wednesday.


Those on flight NH175 were handed 30,000 Japanese Yen upon finally landing in Japan, according to a spokesperson for the airline.

The 30,000 converted to U.S. dollars comes out to around $265 - likely not enough to cover their flights. An individual seat on an ANA flight from LAX to Tokyo runs between $500 to $600 roundtrip, according to Google Flights.

Teigen spent the eight-hour "flight to nowhere" tweeting the ordeal.

"Like we were all just havin a great time up here flyin in the sky watching gran torino time to go home now," she wrote.

"Why did we all get punished for this one person's mistake? Why not just land in Tokyo and send the other person back? How is this the better idea, you ask? We all have the same questions."

Christian Bakers Ordered To Pay $135k For Refusing To Make Wedding Cake For Same-Sex Couple | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 29 Dec 2017 11:32 AM PST

On Thursday, a judge ruled against two Christian bakers who refused service for a same-sex couple. Now, according to NBC News, the owners of the now-closed Sweet Cakes by Melissa bakery will have to fork over a $135,000 fine for their discrimination. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The incident occurred back in 2013 when Aaron and Melissa Klein, the owners of the Oregon bakery, refused to make a wedding cake for Rachel and Laurel Bowman-Cryer.
At the time, the Kleins said their religious beliefs wouldn't allow them to provide a service for the same-sex couple. However, according to NBC News, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries said that their refusal violated a 2007 state law that protects the rights of the LGBTQ community. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Years later, the couple filed a suit against the bakers for their refusal of service, demanding money for their emotional distress. At the time, a judge ruled in favor of the couple, ordering the bakers to cough up the damages. However, the Kleins appealed in March of this year. But, on Thursday, nearly five years after the start of the case, the Oregon Court of Appeals denied the bakers' claim and upheld the 6-figure fine against them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"It does not matter how you were born or who you love," the couple said in a statement after the ruling. "All of us are equal under the law and should be treated equally. Oregon will not allow 'a Straight Couples Only' sign to be hung in bakeries or other stores."

Dr. Phil accused of giving his addicts alcohol and drugs before shows | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 29 Dec 2017 09:57 AM PST

Dr. Phil and his staff have been accused of plying addicts appearing on his show with drugs and alcohol.

Former guest and "Survivor: China" winner Todd Herzog was battling alcohol addiction when he appeared on Dr. Phil McGraw's CBS show "Dr. Phil" in 2013.

He told STAT and the Boston Globe that he was flown to Los Angeles for the show's taping and was sober when he arrived. Then, he found a bottle of vodka in his set's dressing room.


Herzog said a show staffer also gave him a Xanax so it could "calm his nerves" before his appearance. When he went on the show, he appeared drunk and looked like he was struggling to walk.


"Today, I had an entire bottle, like a liter, of vodka," Herzog told McGraw on stage. A Breathalyzer test showed he blew .263 — more than three times the legal limit.
"You know, I get that it's a television show and that they want to show the pain that I'm in," Herzog told STAT and the Globe. "However, what would have happened if I died there? You know, that's horrifying."

Other former guests have accused the popular TV doctor and his staff of putting them at risk and leaving them without medical attention. One woman claimed a show employee told her to buy heroin from a drug market for her niece who was trying to detox.

Martin Greenberg, a psychologist and the show's director of personal affairs, said the claims were "absolutely, unequivocally untrue."

"Dr. McGraw has a very strong sense of trying to not exploit people," Greenberg previously told the publication. "Now it is a television show. These people volunteer to come on. They beg to come on. And he tries to treat them with respect … and to give them the opportunity to get help if they want to do that. It's not a complicated formula."

President Buhari Will Do Better During His Second Term – APC Senator

Posted: 29 Dec 2017 09:44 AM PST

The Senator representing Kano South, Kabiru Gaya, on Thursday gave an indication that President Muhammadu Buhari will be seeking re-election.

Shortly after meeting the President inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the senator told State House correspondents that Buhari will, during his second term, complete whichever projects he cannot complete before the end of his first term.

"On road projects, we have to thank President Buhari for putting extra efforts and may Allah continue to give him good health and strength to continue.

"I know he is going to inaugurate some projects in 2018 and those not completed will be completed during his second term," he said.

Gaya said he was in the Presidential Villa to thank Buhari for visiting Kano State recently.

He said he was happy that the present administration had awarded the road projects from Kano to Abuja which will cost N165bn.

The senator said, "I am the Chairman of Works Committee. No government for the past 16 years has been able to put so much money on road project like this government.

"The budget of 2011-2014, it was only N26bn that was allocated to works but in 2016 when President Buhari came in, we had a budget of over N200 bn for works and in 2017 we have over N400bn and for 2018, we have about N500bn for works.

"So we are rehabilitating our roads and those that were abandoned for years the contractors have gone back to site.

"I have gone round 26 states of the federation as Chairman Senate Committee on Works, is remaining the states in the south-west and three states in the north-west for me to visit.

"We have seen that work are going on, in some places, there are issues of payment but the contractors are back to site because the president has orders for them to be paid and I'm sure payment to contractors commenced last week and will continue till next week."
