*"IRAQ and the BIBLE"*

Very interesting, Heart Touching and Educating.
*DID YOU KNOW THAT?*
*1.* The garden of Eden was in Iraq.
*2.* Mesopotamia which is now Iraq was the cradle of civilization!
*3.* Noah built the ark in Iraq.
*4.* The Tower of Babel was in Iraq.
*5.* Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq!
*6.* Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor which is in Iraq.
*7.* Jacob met Rachel in Iraq.
*8.* Jonah preached in Nineveh, which is in Iraq.
*9.* Assyria which is in Iraq conquered the ten tribes of Israel.
*10.* Amos cried out in Iraq!
*11.* Babylon which is in Iraq destroyed Jerusalem.
*12.* Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq!
*13.* The 3 Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq.
*14.* Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq.
*15.* Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq.
*16.* Ezekiel preached in Iraq.
*17.* The wise men were from Iraq.
*18.* Peter preached in Iraq.

*19.* The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon which was a city in Iraq!
*AND, DID YOU ALSO KNOW THAT?*
Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! 
However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Chaldean, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots. Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible. Here's why:
👉Eden was in Iraq-Genesis 2:10-14
👉Adam & Eve were created in Iraq-Genesis 2:7-8
👉Satan made his first recorded appearance in Iraq-Genesis 3:1-6
👉Nimrod established Babylon & Tower of Babel was built in Iraq-Genesis 10:8-97; 11:1-4
👉The confusion of the languages took place in Iraq-Genesis 11:5-11
👉Abraham came from a city in Iraq-Genesis 11:31; Acts 7:2-4
👉Isaac's bride came from Iraq-Genesis 24:3-4; 10
👉Jacob spent 20 years in Iraq-Genesis 27:42-45; 31:38
👉The first world Empire was in Iraq-Daniel 1:1-2;2:36-38
👉The greatest revival in history was in a city in Iraq-Jonah 3
👉The events of the book of Esther took place in Iraq-Esther
👉The book of Nahum was a prophecy against a city in Iraq-Nahum
👉The book or Revelation has prophecies against Babylon, which was the old name for the nation of Iraq-Revelation 17 &18
No other nation, except Israel, that has more history and prophecy associated to it than Iraq.

The story about Old age Home

There was an old man. He was wealthy and living with son and daughter-in-law.

One day he became sick. He was hospialised. After few days he was taken home. His son engaged a nurse and a servant to look after him.

Initially his son and daughter-in-law used to to come to his room. Slowly, slowly they stopped coming to him. Old man was feelin very sad but he didn't say anything to anyone.

One day he just came out of his room and saw his son and daughter-in-law talking to each other.

Daughter-in-law said, "I think we should keep father in an old age home. There people will look after him. Here our son might be affected." The son nodded.

Old man after hearing the conversation felt very bad. He went back to his room.

In the evening the son came to his room and said, "I want to say something to you." Father said., "I too want to say something to you."

Son: OK. Go ahead.

Father: You know I am not keeping good health. I want to live rest of my life with people like me who are sick and none is there to look after them."

The son was very happy to hear this. But concealing his happiness he said, "What are you saying dad? What difficulties do you have living here?"

Father: No my son. I don't have any difficulty living here. But I am at pain to tell you that you please make your arrangement to live somewhere else. I have decided to convert my  bunglow into an Old Age Home where people like me can live with me."

Father: Oh. You also wanted to tell me something. What's that?"

There was a silence in the room.

Encouraging and promise message for 2019

A beautiful, heartwarming anecdote.....just right to usher in the new year. ❤

" Today I was walking in the supermarket and suddenly I heard a noise of things breaking. I walked down the aisles and saw that some people were murmuring . When I walked down their aisle, I saw a group of people staring at them.

An older lady had hit the shelf containing plates and glasses with her cart and many had fallen to the ground and broken. 

Kneeling on the floor embarrassed, the old lady was frantically picking up the shattered pieces, while her husband peeled off the bar code from each broken dish saying: 

"See!!! Now we will have to pay for all this." 

What a sad scene. Someone has a mishap, and all eyes were on her. When I knelt beside her to explain to her not to worry, a young man came and knelt beside us and said:

- Leave it, we will pick this up. Let’s get your information, so you can go to the hospital and have that wound in your hand looked at.

The lady looked at him, embarrassed and said:

- No. But I have to pay for all this.

The young man said:

- No ma'am, We have insurance for that kind of loss, and you do not have to pay anything.

When the young man got up, I could see that he had the information for the supermarket manager and sent the customer to get checked out. 

🏵☘🏵☘🏵☘🏵☘

For you who have read this so far, I would like you to give me a minute. Wherever you are, close your eyes, and imagine God doing the same for you!

Collect the pieces of your broken heart for all the blows that life has thrown at you. , God will heal all your wounds and I assure you that your sins and mistakes will be forgiven. 

There is a warranty called grace, that when you recognize that you were wrong and you accept God as your only savior, the manager of the existence of the universe (GOD) will tell you: "Everything is already paid for ... go on your way, go!"

Promise words for 2019

A little boy and his father visited the country store, and upon leaving the store, the owner of the store offered the little boy some free Sewers... “Get a hand full of Sweets", the merchant said to the boy.
The boy just stood there looking up at his father. The owner repeated himself:- “Son get a hand full of Sweets... it’s free.” Again the boy did not move, continuing to look up in the face of his father.
Finally the father reached into the candy jar and got a hand full of Sweets and gave it to his son.
As they walked back home, the father stopped and asked his son why he did not grab a hand full of the free candy. The boy with a big smile on his face looked into the face of his father and said:- *“Because I know that your HAND is BIGGER than mine.”*

So, whatever our needs are  as we journey into the new  year 2019, please place them in the *FATHER'S HAND IN HEAVEN,* because HIS HAND is BIGGER THAN OURS.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019

Remember not the storms of this past year, and do not regret the hills and the valleys. Remember how GOD never failed you. He was in it, holding your hands tightly, never letting go when you were upset or hurt.

The LORD your GOD has promised in this New Year that If you remain in Him and His Words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you (John 15:7). The best is yet to come. Therefore, expect this jubilant new year to be one of elevation and good news of prophetic manifestations and miracles. 

May God be glorified in 2019, as you experience the surpassing greatness of God's favor and a supernatural increase in every area of your life. 

*"'You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.'" (Luke 1:45, NLT).*

Interesting things in Bible

Mind blowing ! Think about it ...

*THE 12 SONS OF JACOB (ISRAEL) IS THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST JESUS.!!*

Jacob had twelve (12) sons, and in their names put together was the gospel hidden but now revealed through it. Its so amazing how God hid all these wonderful truths inside simple names and stories.

Here are the names and their meanings:

*NAMES*       *MEANING*
*Reuben*:     _Behold, A Son is born to us_
*Simon*:       _One who hears_
*Levi:*           _Attached_
*Judah*:       _Praise the Lord_
*Dan*:          _He judged_
*Naphtali*:  _My Struggle_
*Gad*:           _Good fortune_
*Asher*:        _Happiness_
*Issachar*:   _Reward_
*Zebulun*:    _Honour_
*Joseph*:     _Add to my family_
*Benjamin*:  _Son of
righteousness_

When the names are joined together, this is what it says:

_BEHOLD, A SON IS BORN UNTO US, ONE WHO HEARS US AND BECAME ATTACHED UNTO US. PRAISE THE LORD. HE JUDGED OUR STRUGGLES AND BROUGHT US GOOD FORTUNE, HAPPINESS, REWARD, HONOR; HE ADDED US TO HIS FAMILY AND CALLED US THE SONS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS._

This completely blows one's mind when one discovers it. Jesus Christ is not just a mere name mentioned in sermons. Jesus is the content, the context, the text, the paragraph, the mark and the remark of the *"Word of Truth "*.
Jesus is the outline of the entire Bible. And His "scarlet thread" of redemption links & runs through the Bible!!!!!!!

*WHO ARE U DECEIVING ?*

You got angry in church and stopped being the member of the  *choir*, left *ushering* , stopped *sanctuary cleaning* and every other work you were doing in church.
Eventually you've stopped going to the *church* because someone spoke to you in a way you didn't like...

Most of the messages from the pulpit was against you from your opinion...

Nobody called you when you were *sick* because according to you, *"they do not love or care in the church..."*

But pls excuse me...
You've not stopped working for the boss who insults you most of the time, neither have you stopped work because your colleagues spoke ill of you... (Money was the reason)

When you were sick, you didn't wait for your boss to call you or look for you at work. Rather, you called and told him about your present condition. No complaint about him not visiting you (Fear of query or loss of the job)

Do you remember that at school, your teachers, your schoolmates and or even your best friends offended you, yet you didn't stop schooling..

You can easily miss Church but not lectures because the lecturer will take attendance which counts in assessment

You can be late with your appointment with God at Church but you will be extra early for your visa interview at the embassy... �

*Who are you deceiving?*
I don't blame you too much. Maybe you don't know or you don't have adequate revelation about Church...

Please, Hear Me! Church is not a *"No Offense Club"* where all things must be done to please you and you alone.

*What have you done in church for the good of others?*

According to Scripture the first knowledge everybody must have about Church is that... It's *The House Of God* and *The Gate of Heaven*...
Genesis 28:17...

Your service to God must be with reverential fear, honor and respect.

God is watching... � _

Merry (Twelve Days of) Christmas Everyone

A good lesson. I didn't know this, so sharing with you all. 

There is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me. 

What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and especially the partridge who won't come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas? 

This week, I found out. 

From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. 

It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.

•  The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ. 
•  Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments. 
•  Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love. 
•  The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. 
•  The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old   Testament. 
•  The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation. 
•  Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy. 
• The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes. 
• Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. 
• The ten lords a-leaping were the Ten Commandments. 
• The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples. 
• The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed. 

So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...so pass it on if you wish.'
