Get your Praise on...

Buenas días mis amigos, 

Welcome to Day 2 of Operation PUSH. 
Our prayer session today is based on Acts 16:25

God's promises are true. He never disappoints on his promises. Disappointments come when we assume God should fulfill his promises to us on our timetable, and when it doesn't happen the way and time we want it to, that breeds hopelessness. One of the most heart-breaking situations in life is to have someone promise you something and then never follow through. But God will always bring to pass what he has promised. In the Bible there are promises for every obstacle and situation you may face in your life, the Apostle Paul tells us, "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him, the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God." (2 Corinthians 1:20 NIV). A promise from God gives us hope to carry on even when the answer is delayed, or the enemy seems to make headway in destroying our lives. 

One of my favorite stories in the Bible is about King Jehoshaphat, I know his name is long, but his story is astonishing and encouraging. King Jehoshaphat found himself nearly at war against an army much larger than his. How often the fight that comes to us is always more massive than we can handle, sometimes the mountains of problems seem so big, or the ocean of fears can be so deep, or the furnace can seem seven times hotter than usual. Perhaps your mountain is a divorce; your ocean is debt or your furnace is cancer or some other impossible situation but take heart because God has a promise for your situation. It is remarkable how people expect God to do something for them and yet, they do not understand if God promised it or not because they have not searched out his word. Remember, without a promise; there can be no real praise. We praise God because he is good and he does good.

When King Jehoshaphat got word of the impending battle, he purposed to hear from God, and he called all the people to gather together and fast and pray so they could seek an answer. When things seem hopeless it's time to call a few close friends and ask for prayer, maybe even fast a day and just seek God for an answer rather than worry yourself in fear and isolation. As the people gathered, the Spirit of the Lord spoke through Jahaziel, a priest, and God gave them a promise that day. God said, 

"Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's. (2 Chronicles 20:15 NIV). The King got a promise from God, and now he could face the war at hand because he knew this was a battle only God could win. I pray you would seek a promise for your situation today.

"God never made a promise that was too good to be true" - D. L. Moody. 

Let's go and get that promise...

Skinny Jeans You Never Want To Put Your Butt In

Dear IMB Reader,   No matter how skinny you actually are, there’s no way you should ever be caught dead in these disastrous denim DON’TS. Seriously, just don’t. I’d rather prefer you go pantless; that’s how bad these are. 1. These jeans sure do bring a whole new meaning to the whole, “eyes in the back of my head…oops, I mean butt!” saying. WINKERS JEANS  2. I love a good denim DIY as much as the next girl. Creating cutout slits for your butt cheeks though…defs not a tutorial I want to read! EXPOSED BUTT JEANS 3. Is it a string bikini bottom? A thong? A pair of jeans? Ohhhh wait…it’s a combination of all three! HOT.

Public Masturbation Has Been Declared Legal In Sweden

On June 6, 2013 a 65-year-old man took off his shorts at a beach near Stockholm and began masturbating into the ocean. According to Swedish newsite, The Local ; the man was charged with sexual assault, but was acquitted last week after a judge ruled that he was not targeting a specific person. The prosecutor even implied that it was “okay” to play with yourself in public! Public Prosecutor,   Olof Vrethammar said: “For this to be a criminal offence it’s required that the sexual molestation was directed towards one or more people. I think the court’s judgement is reasonable. With that we can conclude that it is okay to masturbate on the beach.” Vrethammar however agreed that in the future, public masturbation might be considered disorderly conduct. The ruling in this case comes just three months after Sweden’s last major sex scandal. Okay, I just had to chip this one in… The Swedish police in Stockholm also announced that same June, 2013 that a man who RAPES

PHOTOS: Historical Judgment Babies #SupremeCourtVerdict

                    Thursday August 29, 2013, shall forever remain a historic day in the lives of Ghanaians. But like any ordinary day, it certainly marks the last day on earth for some people and the first for others. Coincidently the number “29” seems to have some uncanny importance as the major persons involved  in the 2012 Election petition,  John Dramani Mahama and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, were both born on the 29 th- John was on the 29 th November and Nana 29 th March. Though President John Mahama has not yet celebrated his birthday this year, some of his fans expressed the belief that this is a memorable day for him and the party. Consequently, out of sheer curiosity, The General Telegraph visited some health facilities in Accra just to find out the number of babies born on this historic day with the auspicious hope that they might all turn into great personalities someday. As of 2: 00 pm on Thursday, the Osu Maternity Home, La General Hospital , Police
