Posted by Admin According to some bible historians, it is assumed that the existence of man on this planet from the days of Adam became 6000 years as at 1996AD. If this is true and can be held as valid then it is expedient for us to know that we are in the last days. The days remaining for the judgment day of God is no longer much as compared to the days used up by man. Let us look at it this way: even though no one has the exact or precise day and year when the world system(mind you, not the earth) of the human race will come to an end yet we can take a clue from certain antecedents. The creation of man was done on the 6th day while God rested on the 7th day to watch and observe activities of events that His works of creation has brought. God is solely the exclusive owner of the 7th day and He also determines how things should unfold, whereas 6 is the number of man and he has been given the opportunity to live it in his own ways all this while yet he has failed in his quest...

U.S. General SLAMS Obama, Says He’s ‘Aiding And Abetting The Enemy’ MAR 1, 2016  by  ADMIN FROM  WND : President Obama is urging Congress to approve the closing of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, allow for the transfer of remaining detainees to the U.S. and try them in U.S. courts. In calling for the policy change, Obama said the move would save taxpayers money without compromising security. In fact, Obama argues that America is less safe because of the facility. “For many years, it’s been clear that the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay does not advance our national security. It undermines it,” said Obama Tuesday. “This is not just my opinion. This is the opinion of many in our military. It’s counterproductive to our fight against terrorists because they use it as propaganda in their efforts to recruit.” Retired three-star U.S. Air Force Gen. Tom McInerney isn’t buying it. “That absolutely false. It’s like, ‘If you like your health p...

How to Make Money With Twitter Using Sponsored Tweets By Alison Storm  To outsiders, Twitter can seem like a big waste of time; a bunch of egomaniacs telling the world what they ate for lunch or what they think of the latest contestant on “The Bachelor.” But to those who use it and love it, it’s an invaluable resource. I’ve used Twitter to find new jobs, locate sources for articles, and gather information on a variety of topics. There are many ways to use  Twitter for business and personal success . However, until recently, I couldn’t put a dollar amount on Twitter. Then I discovered  Sponsored Tweets , an advertising platform that connects companies with tweeters. How Sponsored Tweets Works Sponsored Tweets allows brands to tap into a Twitter user’s followers to reach new customers. By giving companies access to your Twitter stream, tweeters are compensated for each advertisement they accept. The only thing tweeters need to do is write a tweet based on some simple...

Posted by Admin A report from  International Data Corporation and McKinsey Global Institute  suggests that  employees spend 28% of their work time reading and answering emails  that l owers down their productivity to around 25% . Email has become a central communication tool for every organization and replacing it is hard, but not impossible. There are certain drawbacks of email that has forced employers to think of  possible new solutions that are effective enough to replace emails.  Email lacks transparency, they can be ignored or forgotten, they do not require instant action, the average response time of an email is huge and they lack real time collaboration features. Global information-technology service provider  Atos , headquartered in France, was able to reduce email by 64% through an internal collaboration system that functions like a wiki, with members of a community — which might be based on a project, client, or topic — ed...

PROPHESIES FOR 2016 by Dr. Chris Okafor (Dec. 31, 2015) 1. A more deadly sexually transmitted disease worse than HIV AIDS has been released from the kingdom of darkness. We need to be very prayerful and careful. 2. I see more Disasters taking place this year. But God will preserve His children. 3. America and Europe must pray fervently in this year.

The Zika virus is carried by mosquitoes and people, but usually spread by mosquitoes. Zika virus is transmitted to people through the bite of an infected mosquito from the  Aedes  genus, mainly Aedes aegypti  in tropical regions. This is the same mosquito that transmits dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever. – A mosquito can give it to you and then another mosquito could get it from you — and that second mosquito could pass it on to others. – In adults, the virus can cause a mild rash and a slight fever—but evidence suggests that if a pregnant woman is infected, her child could be born with a devastating birth defect: a shrunken head and brain, called microcephaly. – Currently, the Zika virus is circulating in more than 20 countries, and can be found in the following locations: Barbados, Bolivia, Brazil, Cape Verde, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras,...
