ISIS ATTACKS CHRISTIANS IN ASSYRIAN VILLAGES IN SYRIA.

The Assyrian church of Mar Bishop on fire

According to a report by AINA, ISIS and Assyrian and Kurdish fighters in the Has aka province in Northeast Syria. The fight which engulfed Tel Hurmiz, Tel Tamar, Tel Goran, Tel Baloaa, Tel Shamiran, Tel Roman, Tel Basra, Tel Khareta and Abu TRNA lead to the captured of dozens of Assyrian men, women and children.

ISIS fighters killed by Assyrian fighters

The men were taken to an undisclosed location while the women and child were taken to the mountains and might be used as sex slaves.

Churches were destroyed, including one of the oldest churches in Syria, the Mar Bishop church in Tel Shamiran.

People being evacuated from the vilages


About 3000 people have been evacuated from the remaining inhabitants of the 35 villages on both sides of Khabur river.

Newsweek says, ISIS might use the Assyrian hostages for a prisoner swap with Kurdish fighters.

Calls made by relatives of the captives were answered  by ISIS members telling them that nothing can be done to be done for the hostages.

Last week, ISIS beheaded 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya.

Personally, I believe all this happenings should be a wake up call for world leaders and Christians all over the world to cry out to God for help.

WHAT DOES SACRIFICE MEAN IN A RELATIONSHIP?

Every relationship requires some sacrifices. Even, a garden full of flowers requires sacrifice to tend it. It takes sacrifice for a farmer to reap good harvest. What does it mean to be sacrificial? Being sacrificial is being selfless and loving, all out for someone and even inconveniencing yourself. So, in your relationship, you say am not the "this type of person, I am not the that type of yen yen" and you know it can make that relationship blossom, why not make sacrifices and do it. it is called sacrificial love Maybe the sacrifice you have to make is understanding and patience, taking in the other person's mental health into consideration. Nobody was born a type of person.  School, parents, environment, experiences, church, etc ; shaped us into being some type of person. But, self centeredness and selfishness hinders us from making sacrifices. Even our Lord Jesus that died and resurrected was not the "dying type of person" to die for us, but He made that sacr...

THE BEFORE

Anxiety isn't good when you are trying to conceive; first hand experience. And my anxiety wasn't just from me being disturbed about conceiving but from other factors too. Example: questions being asked, flippant comments and direct confrontations, unsolicited advice. You might say, only two years and you were worrying yourself to death. Ha! It's was like twenty two years to me. In the span of two years,a lot happened ...it was well. I was completely worked up. Those that know me in person can testify that I was a slim person but became extremely slim. I became a shadow of myself. I was eating but was not healthy. I was seriously anxious and worried. So much was said to me. Pastor Victor and his wife, Pastor Mary,  Aunty Nseabasi Etim , My mum and lots of others were a great source of strength; God bless them for me. I was doing alot of things like taking of Communion daily, anointing my stomach daily and reading the word concerning the situation. One thing was...

THE YEAR HAS BEGAN.

The year 2018 was a blessed year for me. The year a significant change took place in my life;  I became a mother to a glorious baby. This change didn't seem possible but just like the song writer said "my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ, my righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. ..." . Well, here we are in a new year; 2019. Maybe you where told by the doctor you wouldn't make it to this year, but here you are. Circumstances challenged you to give up, but here you are. After experiencing 10 hours plus of labour, it didn't seem like my baby and I would make it but God made a way and we had victory. (story for another day) Our God is faithful! Encourage yourself in the Lord this year. Committ all you instead doing to Him. Have hope but work towards achieving your hope. Develop that idea you have. Improve yourself. Above all, make prayer and studying of the word of God a life styl...
