@realDonaldTrump Please stick to just "Artificial Intelligence" Mr President..
Whether we want to admit it or not, we all know the Power to whom all those other descriptions belong -
God the Creator.
Thank you
YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
Jesus did not say, “You must become a better person.”
He did not say, “You must join a church.”
He did not say, “You must know the Bible.”
He said, “You must be born again.” — John 3:7
Being born again is more than changing your behavior. It is a transformation that happens when you surrender your life to Jesus Christ and receive Him as Lord and Savior.
You can change your clothes, change your friends, change your location, and even change your lifestyle—but only Jesus can change your heart.
Church attendance cannot save you.
Your family cannot save you.
Your good works cannot save you.
Your religious title cannot save you.
You need Jesus.
The old life must die, and a new life must begin in Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
Examine your heart today.
Are you truly born again, or have you simply become religious?
You must be born again.
Come to Jesus while there is still time. ❤️🔥
JESUS SAVES. JESUS TRANSFORMS. JESUS IS LORD.
I got goosebumps studying my Bible today.
In Genesis 28, Jacob has his famous vision of a ladder stretching into heaven, with angels ascending and descending.
He wakes up trembling with awe. On his own initiative, he sets up the stone he slept on as a pillar, pours oil over it, renames the place Bethel ("House of God"), and vows to give God a tenth of everything if God protects him on the road.
Fast forward twenty years to Genesis 31.
Jacob has spent two decades being cheated, exhausted, and trapped in Laban's household.
When God finally appears to tell him it is time to return home, He does not introduce Himself with an intimidating, distant title. He does not announce Himself as the Almighty or the Creator of heaven and earth.
He looks at Jacob and says: "I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and where you made a vow to me."
Do you realize what is happening here? God grounds His very identity in a runaway's memory.
For twenty long years, God remembered a desperate prayer spoken over a rock in the dark. He lets a flawed human encounter define holy ground, taking the name a frightened fugitive gave to a stone and adopting it as His own divine signature.
Now leap forward over a thousand years to John 1.
Philip brings his friend Nathanael to meet Jesus. When Jesus sees him coming, He says: "Here is a true Israelite, in whom there is no deceit."
Remember what the name Jacob actually means. Jacob was the deceiver, the supplanter. Jesus is deliberately invoking Jacob from the very first sentence.
Startled, Nathanael asks, "How do you know me?"
Jesus answers: "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
In Jewish life, sitting under a fig tree was the recognized place for solitary prayer, meditation, and wrestling with God in private.
Whatever Nathanael was carrying beneath that tree, whether an unspoken sorrow, a quiet wrestling match of the soul, or a prayer he thought had vanished into the silence, he believed he was entirely alone.
He had built no altar, poured no oil, and made no grand vows. He was simply sitting in the quiet with an ache he could not fix.
Yet that single sentence undoes him completely. Nathanael breaks: "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"
Then Jesus ties the entire story together:
"You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree? You will see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
Angels ascending and descending. That is word for word the scene from Genesis 28!
Jesus is telling him that the ladder his ancestors saw was never a stone staircase in the desert, and Bethel was never just a coordinate on a map. The ladder was always a person. The bridge between heaven and earth was standing right in front of him on a dirt road in Galilee.
The contrast between these two men is striking.
Jacob’s encounter was structured. He had oil, built a stone monument, named the place, and negotiated with a formal vow.
Nathanael’s encounter was raw. He was sitting in the shadow of a tree, empty-handed, carrying a weight he had no ceremony for.
Yet God claims both as holy ground.
He is the God of Bethel, the God who honors the altars you build when you have the strength to build them.
And He is the God of the Fig Tree, the God who sees you when you are too exhausted to promise anything at all.

A traditional technique used by young shepherds of Ethiopia’s Banna tribe.
They use stilts to watch over their livestock in tall grass, move through wetland areas, and avoid snakes and predators like lions and leopards.
It requires strength, balance, and training from a young age.
God: “Why did you stop following Me?”
You: “Lord… Pastor James offended me.”
God: “Interesting. Show Me the verse where I told you to follow Pastor James.”
God: “Why did you stop going to church?”
You: “A Christian refused to help me when I was struggling.”
God: “So… your faith was in that Christian, not in Me?”
God: “Why did you stop praying and fellowshipping with Me?”
You: “People made Christianity look like a joke, so I stopped praying.”
God: “Did I ever stop being God because people behaved badly?”
These excuses are not in the Bible, and they won’t become valid on the Day of Judgment.
God isn’t going to say, “Fair enough, you’re justified because someone disappointed you.”
No.
He will remind each of us that Christianity is a personal race. You weren’t going to church because of the pastor, you were going because of Him. You weren’t serving Him because of Brother Peter, Sister Ihunanya, or your parents, you were serving Him because you loved Him.
People may fail you. Pastors may disappoint you. Churches may make mistakes. Christians are imperfect.
But Jesus has never failed to be who He is.
Don’t allow someone’s bad example to become your excuse for abandoning the One who never betrayed you. At the end of the day, each of us will stand before God individually, and the question will not be, “What did others do?” but, “What did you do with the relationship I offered you?”

The Bible is Alive
*Zechariah 12: 2-3
JD Vance is warning Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration not to mess around with the United States, saying they may end up losing everything.
Vance says Trump is their last ally because the entire world already hates them.
"If I were in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally I have."
The High Court has ruled that grandchildren have no legal right to automatically inherit estates directly from their grandparents, if and when their parents are alive.
According to Justice Samwel Mohochi, the grandchildren are not automatic beneficiaries of the estates of their deceased grandparents and are simply at the mercy of their parents.

Heavenly Father,
Bless all doctors with wisdom, strength, and compassion.
Guide their hands as they care for the sick and comfort those in pain.
Give them patience in difficult moments and courage when decisions are hard.
Protect them and their families, and let their work bring healing and hope to many.
May Your peace be with them always.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Some of the things Trump said in the last 48 hours:
- Hamas is behaving very well these days.
- Iran should have missiles. Why not?
- We're going to unfreeze Iran's money. It's their money. Why should we steal their money?
- If the war kept going there would have been an economic catastrophe. So we had to end it.
- Some of the guys in the Islamic regime are really nice.
- If Iran didn't open the Strait of Hormuz our oil reserves would have run out in 4 weeks. We had to make a deal.
- Netanyahu is crazy. They keep killing innocent civilians. He needs to be more responsible.
- Without me and America, Israel wouldn't exist.
@LarryMadowo Larry that is nothing....
Soon, the 'person' you'll be interviewing will even not be them. And you won't know the difference.
Deception and total takeover, by 'whatever'
