Of course, the obvious recommendation is to monitor and restrict your children's use of technology, from old-school media such as television and magazines to new-school media such as social networking sites so your children's exposure to the forces that cause an externalization of their self-identity is prevented or at least minimized. Let's be realistic, though: As digital natives, your children are going to be immersed in that world, so such a defensive posture is probably not going to be adequate in safeguarding your children against its ill effects on the formation of a healthy self-identity. Here are some recommendations on how to develop your children's self-identity amid the cacophony of messages they're getting from media. Inoculate Your Children Against Media's Messages You can help your children resist media's messages by priming them for those messages. When you consistently offer your children contrasting perspectives, you prime them to stand firm against the unhealthy messages. You can actively teach them 'executive functioning' skills, such as impulse control, critical thinking and long-term planning, that will further gird them against the unhealthy messages. You can also help your children become sensitive to media's messages which will enable them to recognize those messages for what they are and see them with a healthy skepticism.

It is strongly linked with the use of social media. Basic needs of food, water can be met but when an individual feels he’s not being recognized this might cause depression. 2 . Adults and teenagers who engage too much on social media might experience restricted health activities. Meaning they are not performing any physical activity or doing any brainstorming that might bring them a sense of worthiness. If excessive time is spent on social media people stop feeling happy that gives them the feeling of self-satisfaction. 3. Lack of self-confidence also causes depression, and this happens when you start comparing yourself with others. In doing so people forget who they are following usually use a lot of photo editing. Moreover, what they see is not real. 4. Excessive social media usage influences mood typically leading to emotional sadness and lack of sleep. How To Minimize The Effect Of Social Media That Causes Depression? 1. Pay Attention to what is real Individuals are more prone to develop loneliness when they compare their lives to others. Hence to overcome the bad effect of social media on mental health engage more in offline communications. In addition to this take part in activities that build self-confidence.

Instead, it’s about being confident in yourself no matter what others think about you. One way to learn to accept yourself is to set positive, specific goals instead of trying to be like the unrealistic people you might see in the media. This can be as simple as developing a mantra like 'I care more about what I think of myself than what others think about me.'

Encourage them to find activities and friends with like-minded interests. Having hobbies can help your teen build confidence. Learn about body image and help your teen understand what body image is and how it affects their self-esteem. Teach them to be media literate, questioning the images they see and forming realistic body ideals. Include the Whole Family Don't single your kid out. Healthy eating and exercise should be a family issue. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), 'Family involvement helps to teach everyone healthful habits and does not single out the overweight teen.' Get Your Family Active A healthy lifestyle is a teen's best defense against being or becoming overweight. Plan fun, physically active activities for the whole family to enjoy. Make them a part of your daily/weekly routine, a fun habit and try not to turn them into a chore. Be a role model and enjoy the activities with your kids. Try not to make it a special occasion, but something that you just do all the time together. The more 'everyday' and habitual physical activity is in a teen's life, the more they will continue the good habit into their young adulthood. Actions to Avoid • Don't talk about weight, instead talk about health.

10 Cultural Differences And Facts That Make The World Interesting 10 Cultural Differences And Facts That Make The World Interesting by Jeffrey Nelson The world is big. Very big. It is full of a plethora of different people, places, and things. We tend to think of the world in segments: countries, people, languages, cities, etc. However, the world, when thought of as a whole, is a very interesting place in and of itself. Famous bowls in India are also regularly found in Mexico. The German Schnitzel is very similar to the Mexican milanesa. As different as cultures are, there are also a ton of similarities. Here are a few interesting facts that really help make our world a fun place to live. There are over 6,000 languages spoken in the world today, many of which are spoken by fewer than a few hundred people. The top 10 or 12 languages however make up the vast majority of all of the speakers in the world. Mexicans celebrate New Years Eve by eating 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight. This tradition is actually fairly common among Latin American countries and dates back to their ancestors. Puero Ricans invented the Pina Colada - the delicious coconut based drink. Sipping a Pina Colada on a beach in Puerto Rico is, in fact, very rico.

In popular culture The song is used in the 1978 film Animal House in the well-known lunchroom scene where Bluto ( John Belushi) gathers food in preparation for a food fight. The song was also included in the 1983 film Breathless. The original Sam Cooke version of the song comprised the title soundtrack of the 2005 film Hitch . After a Greg Chapman cover of the song was featured prominently in the 1985 film Witness in a scene where Harrison Ford dances with Kelly McGillis, 'Wonderful World' gained further exposure. Particularly in the United Kingdom, where a copy of the song, produced by Karl Jenkins and Mike Ratledge and with vocals sung by Barbadian Tony Jackson, a backing singer for Paul Young, appeared in 'Bath', a well-remembered, Roger Lyons-directed 1985 advertisement for Levi's 501 jeans. As a result, the Sam Cooke version of the song became a hit in the UK, reaching No.2 and selling a certified 250,000 copies. In a 2005 poll by the UK's Channel Four the song was voted the 19th-greatest song ever to feature in a commercial. The song is featured in the Mafia III 's Official Soundtrack, published on October 7, 2016.

Interscope 'Do You Know?' was released as the lead single from Enrique Iglesias' eighth studio album Insomniac. It has the subtitle 'The Ping Pong Song' because of the sound of a ping pong ball bouncing that is used as part of the percussion track. Enrique Iglesias performed the song live on Dancing With the Stars. 'Do You Know?' had moderate success on the US pop chart, but it went to #3 on the dance chart. It was also a top 10 pop smash in countries around the world while topping both the Latin songs and tropical songs radio charts in the US in the Spanish version titled 'Dimelo.' 08 of 10 'Could I Have This Kiss Forever' with Whitney Houston (2000) Interscope Enrique Iglesias and Whitney Houston initially recorded the parts in 'Could I Have This Kiss Forever' in separate studios. They finally came together to put together the single version of the song. Whitney Houston was one of the world's top pop stars, and Enrique Iglesias was just rising into the pop mainstream when 'Could I Have This Kiss Forever' was released. The song performed poorly on charts in the US missing the top 40 but it was a top 10 smash around the world and reached the top 10 on the US adult contemporary chart.

Romans 1:20 points out, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” You can get to know your Creator’s boundless creativity more while exploring natural settings. In my book Wake Up to Wonder, I describe how parts of nature commonly found around the world – the sun, water, rocks, trees, and flowers – reveal more about the mystery of who God is and how we can relate to him. Mysteries can spark your curiosity to seek God more – and when you do, you can encounter wonder that will expand your perspective. Mysteries Show That God Values Lifelong Learning When you encounter a mystery, you’re challenged to go beyond the limits of what you know, what you understand, and what you think is possible. Mysteries challenge you to step out of your comfort zone. They call you to evaluate and expand the ways you think and feel, opening doors for you to walk through to wonder. Jesus invites you to learn from him continually.

Meanwhile, John Siamas, co-founder of Keen Records, discovered the 'demo' recording of 'Wonderful World' among unreleased Cooke recordings. Keen released 'Wonderful World' in competition with RCA's issue of 'You Understand Me' in the same week. 'Wonderful World' quickly became Cooke's best-performing single since his first hit 'You Send Me,' reaching number 12 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 and number two on the magazine's Hot R&B Sides chart. 'Billboard' reviewed the single upon its release, giving it four stars and writing, 'Moderate rocker gets a smooth belt from Sam Cooke in his usual, salable style.' In 2004, the song was placed 373rd in 'Rolling Stone' magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Section::::Later versions. Herman's Hermits had a major hit in the mid-1960s with an uptempo version of the song (omitting one verse) which reached number four in the US and number seven in the UK. The Hermits' version was, according to singer Peter Noone and guitarist Keith Hopwood, done as a tribute to Cooke upon his death. Otis Redding recorded a version of the song on his 1965 album 'Otis Blue'.

But the cast had heard the speech and our throats almost dropped to our toes, because if the audience had heard the Cuban Missile Speech, we would not have received the reaction we did.' During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Cadence Records almost canceled the distribution of the record, assuming America would be going to war. Section::::Effect on popular culture. Although the comedy album boom was mushrooming by 1962, production of a record imitating the president met stiff opposition. James Hagerty, a top executive for ABC-Paramount Records and President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s former press secretary, said the proposed album would be 'degrading to the presidency' and proclaimed that 'every Communist country in the world would love this record.' After other rejections, Cadence Records agreed to take on the project, and within a month the record was appearing on store shelves, and seeing brisk sales. Within two weeks it had sold more than 1 million copies, pushing past the debut album by Peter, Paul and Mary. Within weeks, many Americans could recite favorite lines from the record, including 'the rubber schwan [ swan] is mine', and 'move ahead...with great vigah [ vigor]', the latter lampooning the President's own words.

Day One of our current sale [ SALE ENDED and link removed 12 noon Pacific Time 12/6/19] could not have gone better—it got off to the best start of any sale we've ever done. I have to tell you, these print offers are truly fun when they take off like this. It's wonderful, and very exciting. I cannot thank everyone enough! (I had to go through this post and edit out a whole bunch of exclamation points.) One truly loyal reader ordered nine, and there have been many orders for more than one print. 'Black Friday' lived up to its name here at TOP World Headquarters—it has made my year! (Sorry, there's another one. Never write when you're happy, it makes you sound like an idiot.) I can't wait to see how we've done at the 24-hour mark. As you can guess, Ctein got hammered—he worked for fifteen hours straight with only small breaks before exhaustion set in. Just before he turned in, however, he emailed me to report that everyone who ordered by his bedtime late last night has been sent an acknowledgement, and he processed all but the last two dozen orders that came in yesterday.

Dinegar: People make the assumption that it is the extroverts who are the best in sales. You turn that on its head. Pink: Adam Grant, [ the youngest tenured professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania] finished a study this summer. The research shows extroverts are more likely to take sales jobs, extroverts are more likely to get hired, and extroverts are more likely to get promoted. But if you look at the link between extroverts and sales performance, strong extroverts only did a little better than the strong introverts. The classic glad-handing extroverts only did a little bit better than the introverts cowering in the corner. The people who did best by far — and it is not even close — were the people in the middle. Why are the extroverts not very good? They don’t listen. They are too pushy. Why are [ the introverts] not very good. They don’t assert. They are quiet The people who in the middle, they have the best of both worlds. They know when to talk. They know when to listen. They know when to push. They know when to hold back. They are much more attuned. The good news is most people are ambiverts.

First published in 1952, it stayed on the 'New York Times' bestseller list for 186 consecutive weeks, and according to the publisher, Simon and Schuster, the book has sold around 5 million copies. The fact that the book has sold 5 million copies is printed on the cover of the current edition in both paperback and hard cover, and directly contradicts exaggerated claims that the book has sold more than 20 million copies in 42 languages. The publisher also contradicts the translation claim, saying the book has been translated into only 15 languages. Nearly half of the sales of the book (2.1 mil.) occurred before 1958, and by 1963, the book had still only sold 2 million copies according to Peale. Since then, the book has sold less than 3 million copies over the past 60 years. Some of his other popular works include 'The Art of Living', 'A Guide to Confident Living', 'The Tough-Minded Optimist', and 'Inspiring Messages for Daily Living'. In 1947 Peale co-founded (along with educator Kenneth Beebe) The Horatio Alger Association. This organization aims to recognize and honor Americans who have been successful in spite of difficult circumstances.

That was just enough better than 2000's 17.4 million to set a new benchmark. The industry was on a tear in 2015, running at or above a torrid sales pace of 18 million for much of the year. The comeback of the US market has been stunning. Sales plunged below 10 million in the depths of the Great Recession . Back then, no one was sure if there would ever be anymore records broken. Still, it could have been a better 2015. Some analysts surveyed by Bloomberg — at consumer-auto information resources such as Kelley Blue Book, True Car, and Edmunds and at big investment banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan — thought the selling pace for December would pull the yearly total up close to 18 million. And although everybody except Volkswagen, still reeling from its emissions-cheating scandal, notched gains, some car makers finished December a bit light against expectations. At Ford, for example, US sales rose 8% in December to 239,242 vehicles. Analysts expected an increase of 11%. Also lighter than expected were sales from GM and Fiat Chrysler. Ford and GM slipped in regular trading on Tuesday, down about 2% and 3%, respectively. It got pretty bad.

I’ve been doing things that I enjoy lately, expressing and embracing myself, and just overall feeling like a better human being. Such small changes can change your world, and make everything better. And your mental health should be the most important thing to you, too. Everybody knows that it’s okay to not be okay. But I just want to make sure that you know that it’s okay to be okay sometimes, too. bless í bili, Emma :) Adam Lee Chadwick , lives in Quintana Roo, Mexico (2010-present) Answered 2 years ago · Author has 4.2K answers and 28.5M answer views Originally Answered: What do you think is the most important thing in the world?

Expected End Ministries, God, Healing Anointing, healing the wounded soul book, holy spirit, Katie Souza, katie souza ministries, offense, Prison Ministry, the 700 club Posted by Cee Harmon Categories: Ministry Outreach TV Elevate Christian Network :: Ministry Outreach TV Jesus is love the Lord wants you in every respect of your life to prosper and be in health but it’s as here soul prospers and so that means he wants your soul to be whole he wants your mind your will your emotions your your faculties of passion in that just to be aligned with him and so today we have a guest that is an expert in this field it’s Katie Souza from expected and ministries and Katie you’ve been studying into this area of the soul and healing for the Soul for a long time now but not only studying you’ve actually been applying with your faith the redemptive power of Jesus Christ his healing blessing is his deliverance power and people are set free all over the world because of your ministry and so we’re just thrilled to have you with us today on the program and I know that you’ve got lots of good nuggets for us so let’s talk about the healing of the soul why is it important well for me it started out as necessity of getting this revelation because I was getting sick with all kinds of things reoccurring issues that would never go away at bladder infections yeast infections sore throats flus fevers and it seemed like I was doing what I’m supposed to do you know I was praying believing the crane and I wasn’t getting the breakthrough and so I knew there was something missing and I didn’t understand what it was and that’s when God began to you know speak to me through that scripture that will prosper and be in health even as our soul prospers and God began to show me how certain things like sin and trauma can wound our souls right you know isaiah 30:26 in the amplified talks about god healing up the brokenhearted and binding up their wounds that came from their sin right so saying that when we sin or when somebody sins against us or ancestors sin it can literally wound us okay and even like for trauma that traumas that we live through divorces losing jobs our children maybe someone passes away in our life those traumas can also wound our soul man you know and a good example of that and the Bible is job remember he went through a lot of trauma right he had all his servants killed and all his his wealth was stolen his children were all killed at the same time when a whirlwind you know crashed the house down on on them and then he himself even got sick physically well those traumas wounded his soul and we know that because throughout the entire book of Job 23 times he says stuff about his soul like I’m mourning and so on vexed and soul my soul is being poured out and it was always him making these statements in connection to the pain the soul pain he was feeling over those traumas and you know Katie if if your soul isn’t that much pain it’s going to affect your quality of life in the same way that if your body like has an injury like let’s say someone you know cut your your arm and you know your tendons are all damaged and everything else then that arms not going to function right and you’re not going to have quality of life so we can’t ignore this area of soul healing in the same way as we wouldn’t be able to ignore the need for a physical healing yeah and even doctors will say that when you live through a traumatic event or something has stressed you and your inner man they don’t even really necessarily call it my soul but they say that 80 to 90% of their patients that have a serious even a deadly illness right have suffered some sort of a event like that than traumatising to them so what happens in here directly affects everything out here including the physical body right and you know when as we go around teaching people how to get healed in their soul we see thousands and thousands of miracles I mean I saw a man grow a lung back right he lost from cancer win without soul healed Wow and I believe the soul the wound that was inside him actually caused the cancer in the first place yeah see a good a good biblical example of sickness and the soul is the man at the Pool of Bethesda remember him said he he had an infirmity for thirty-eight years right that’s a long time to be sick and a lot of people are in that situation exactly today yeah there’s so many mysterious illnesses that even the doctors don’t know how to diagnose because they don’t know how to diagnose the soul hmm I think that’s one of the issues right for the amount of the pool 38 years what was it that made him in that state for that long right well the Bible says he had an infirmity for 38 years if you look at that word infirmity in the Strong’s it means weakness and infirmity of the body and of the soul so was saying that he had wound inside of his inner man that was causing the sickness now where did that wound come front right well it came from sin and we know that from the words of Jesus himself when did he say that man after he got him healed he saw him in the temple he said I see your well now stop sinning right or something worse may happen to you see when we sin or someone sins against us or our ancestors sinned it can wound us and then cause disease right come upon us yeah for sure for sure even demonic oppression you know we see a lot of people you know they’re doing they’re making more with the enemy and and they’re doing what the Bible says to do you know no weapon formed against us shall prosper greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world the name of Jesus I command you to leave but they’re not having success or battling that spear and it’s not leaving it could be not every time but it could be because there is a legal landing strip is solely for that spirit to be there and a good example is the woman bowed over with the spirit of infirmity remember her 18 years right her spine is literally bent by a spirit a demon was bending her spine that is like almost beyond our ability to proceed right but nonetheless that’s what the Bible said right so what was allowing that spirit to literally affect her bones like that well it said she had a spirit of infirmity right the same word used to describe the man at the pool right it means infirmity and weakness in the soul right so she had something going on in here that allowed the spirit to be there once we get this healed we’ll start to see a lot of things change will start to see miracles happen in our bodies our minds our marriages our relationships our finances we’ll see our authority over demonic spirits will greatly increase right I mean today Katie you know like there’s a lot of I think frivolous thinking regarding sin issues in the body of Christ I see it everywhere it’s like oh well I’m under grace oh that’s fine it doesn’t matter you know but it really does and the reason why God hates sin so much is because it can damage you or it says it hurts us and he hates anything that hurts us so we don’t want to go navel-gazing as far as oh I’m going to keep looking because if your sin conscious that’s going to destroy you also yes it is but we don’t want to ignore the fact that right that our souls need to be rightly stewarded watch over are your hearts with all diligence because from it flow the issues of life scripture says it’s true you know just like simple things like being offended at somebody let’s say somebody really does you wrong and they really have hurt you and you’ve really not done anything to deserve it right what happens is some people mistakenly respond by becoming offended saying words that person I can’t believe what they did you know how they have the nerve you know they need to repent they’re completely wrong and we begin to complain and be offended well the Bible says in like proverbs 16 I believe it is or proverbs 26 it says the words of a slander or a whisper are like deadly wounds yeah that go down to the innermost part of the being so we think we have the right right you say stuff about this person because they did this and this and this and this right but we’re actually putting deadly wounds on ourselves and causing sickness point oh yeah one of the times I heard you speak on offense it was really enlightening because I think you were sharing a testimony about how you’re walking through an airport and going through the security lines and you’re offended because of you know someone not moving fast enough attending and you know so often things like that happened in all of our lives right every day but we we don’t even think its offense because you know it just feels like you know we’re you know we have a right to say it we have a right to think it I mean after all and it just becomes natural to us but God wants us to come to a place where we are so in tune with his love yes and with his purity and everything that that that will realize no that’s not his nature right it’s not him thinking gosh that’s why I’m feeling like that and so that we can walk free from woundedness by by by being in the healers love in the in in wholeness himself we gotta connect the dots I remember this gentleman in like San Diego he had a severe sinus affection and he had it for years and years and it was so bad it stunk okay was always running and you could smell it people around him could smell it was that bad why when talk about the soul at a meeting and about being offended and he said the prayers and he got instantly healed it dried up the smell left and everything and he was amazed because he never connected this horrible infection with him being offended and it wounding his soul Wow yeah it was amazing yeah well and so one round of repentance and cleansing cleansed everything yes it’s true oh and there’s another thing there too you know i lead people through repentance and that’s the first step we should always particular cross first because jesus died for every sin right including every sin that would ever wound us but there’s something i think that the body of christ is left out of their daily prayer life and that is for taking of something they already have and that’s Dunamis resurrection power that lives in them right so let me just explain what that is okay so the Bible talks about in Romans 1 that we that Paul said I’m not ashamed of the gospel which is the power unto salvation right he’s talking about this power that caused us to become saved born again it’s resurrection power it comes into us and it causes our dead spirit to be resurrected in the new eternal life right right okay will that power that Paul is talking about there in the Greek gets the word Dunamis now this is a this is an amazing power right okay Dunamis is resurrection power it causes us to be born again it comes and lives inside of us so right now every believer has a tankful that never runs out right okay well that word Dunamis if you look it up in the Strong’s one of its meanings is excellence of soul yes I love it so we don’t realize right now we got a tank full oh yeah power that can make us excellent a soul I can heal every single wound we already have it because Jesus is excellent of soul and he is eternal life and he’s dwelling within us and when you just think of like this excellence of Jesus and thought word and indeed lives in on the inside and the heat comes in fills our human soul oh that’s how we’re taken into his image his likeness because he’s living in there and he’s given us that power to heal every bit of woundedness that could ever come upon us when we talked about anything else that we do awesome yes you know we are going to come right back after this message but I want you to get ready to be ministered to we’re going to learn about the power of decree and how decrees can heal your soul there’s going to be miracles and we’re going to pray for those things and if you have need of a miracle right now maybe you have a an infirmity that you’ve lived with for a number of years don’t be surprised if you don’t get a miracle anointing this very day where every symptom lifts off of you we’ll be right back do you feel like your prayers aren’t getting through do you struggle with sickness financial difficulty or relational issues soul decrees by Katie Souza is a book of prayers

two speakers unite at the historic angeles temple to relight the revival fires and release an atmosphere of miracles signs and wonders it’s time for you to arise and be a woman on the front lines okay so Katie tell us more about this Dunamis power because it’s one thing to be able to you know recognize that there’s a need for repentance and that yeah but repentance is one thing but applying that Dunamis power is another yes you know you gotta know for sure that it works cuz Jesus used it that’s what acts 10:38 says God anointed Jesus Christ with Holy Spirit and power which is Dunamis and he went around healing everyone that was oppressed by the devil and when the woman touched Jesus’s the hem of His garment ruin oh right says he felt that healing virtue that word is Dunamis and she had been traumatized by that 12u her long says so I believe he healed her in her soul made her excellence all and healed her physical bodies and even if the issue of blood itself wasn’t related to the soul yeah the shame and everything that came with that condition would have damaged the soul and that’s what I loved about that whole story is that he presented her after she was healed he made sure publicly everyone knew that she was cleansed yeah it’s clear that whole issue I love to care everything he took care of everything Jesus all right now seriously okay so decrees is another good thing now you’re the decree expert you know I’ve read your book the trade and it’s awesome I think everyone needs to incorporate decrees it’s one of the simple ways that you can release the power you already have because if your blood you have and a decree is a governmental proclamation yeah we’ve got the King of Kings the word of the King of Kings that we decree and the the Bible says that when you send forth that word through decree you know that word does not return void it accomplishes everything it is sent to do so it’s powerful it’s active its operative as it says in Hebrews and is so powerful decrees are so powerful yeah you know job talks on we decree a thing and it shall be and she’ll be established so that helps establish and our healing for us in her soul and in her body right it’s so cool cuz you know Jesus made decrees when he would heal people you know he went around saying to people that were crippled and stuff arise right pick up your mat and walk he was releasing a decree to them except well that were to rise it’s so cool because if you look it up but it’s actually a resurrection term it’s the same term used for you know the when when Jairus daughter arose right and when Jesus command us go out heal the sick raise the dead so when he would say to people arise pick up your Matlock he was loosing a decree that was releasing the Dunamis he was carrying beautiful you know and it would heal that person in their in her soul and in their physical body right so that’s what we need to start doing too is start releasing decrees you know that’s why I wrote the book so that people could have a list of them if they didn’t know what to do that it’s called soul a soul decrees and so these are specific decrees to heal the soul and to empower the soul and to come into healing wholeness and an empowerment it’s awesome when they do them then the physical body will follow suit their marriage will follow suit you know every part of them will follow suit their finances will start to prosper right so it’s a good practice that’s a very simple but totally effective way is releasing the Word of God though that’s what James says the word has the power to save our soul yes you know that word say there is so so so it means holy deliver prosper yes awesome using we’ve seen so many things happen and in our in our you know meetings and in our personalized to and it happened through a decree right like I would get a word of knowledge and I would stand on the stage and make a decree say a scripture or say a decree you know I hear someone’s being healed of you know knee problems right now someone being healed of cancer I find and I would speak a scripture and I command that your soul would be prospered by health even as your body would be prospered and brought my health even as your soul prospers and then you know miracles that start to pop pop pop pop pop so it’s very simple for us to do this but so very powerful and Katie you actually have in your ministry you train people how to operate in this it’s not like you’re just up there on the platform doing this just yourself you actually equipped the body to do this and I know people have been under your training we’re out ministering to the sick feeling people’s souls casting out Devils all of that and so thank you so much for your contribution yeah because it’s amazing it’s been super fun but you know people don’t feel like they need me to lay hands on them because I’m teaching them how to do it right you know we’ve just even you know even in my own inner circle my staff and people in in my family in my ministry are getting huge miracles signs and wonders because they’ve learned how to do it you know one of my my very faithful employees john blake had a rare disease where he had ammonia storing in his brain right his body wasn’t releasing it and it would cause him like alzheimer’s like symptoms right he wouldn’t be able to remember remember simple tasks like typing he wouldn’t be able to finish his sentences his wife would have to finish him for him he wouldn’t be able to remember the plot of a movie even though he just watched the movie it was horrible he would spend like $1,500 a month on medications that would prevent him from going into a coma like sleep Wow it was terrible for him and God just released a word a nagy one day to us said it was his soul that there was an issue in the soul and then if we prayed for it it would be healed and he would be healed too and he came over the house and I just you know I prayed over him a decrese soaked him and within I don’t know probably 45 minutes he stood up and the first thing he recognized was that his mind was clear Wow he he could think so much clearer than he had in years and years and then he went home and all his life he’d had this smell of ammonia on his body and all of a sudden he gets in the shower to take a shower and it’s gone right he’s so convinced after the days you know past that he’s healed he has three of his doctors to give a test independently each one all comes back first time in years his ammonia level is normal it’s awesome it was awesome awesome a lot of times people think that you know like when the soul gets healed and then the physical body responds but it also affects other areas I can there John it says in every respect yes in all respects of life I want you to prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers so that could be also your prosperity of provision yes your prosperity of relationships and that and you’ve seen miracles in those areas as well especially in financial breakthroughs in people’s lives and you know as you yes you know seeing clearance in the area of the soul then other things come into alignment as well I’ve had huge financial miracles given to me and the ministry because I got my soul healed and it was so cool God would always connect the miracle with the provision coming in like something would happen I would have an awareness that there was an issue my soul like I’m sure most reviewers know my history I think I used to be a criminal in the streets I would rob people I knew in federal prison I was a federal prison I sold dope I was a collector I forced people to pay debts by gunpoint and I remember when the ministry started really taking off the Lord said you can’t continue to carry around those wounds in your soul that came from all that sin right because now I have to trust you to steward faithfully right and with integrity millions of dollar right and that’s no joke and we take that seriously I mean we’re members of the ECF a that’s how serious and I just want to say knowing you personally for like since you started in ministry really is I want to say how much I appreciate your integrity you’re a woman of virtue you are a woman who truly has watched over her soul and you watch over the finance of the ministry as unto the Lord in such a beautiful way and I want to commend you for that and your husband and your team we have gone out of our way we have independent audits done on us all the time to make sure that every eye you know is dotted every T is crossed and we’ve done really well in that we feel really happy that God has allowed us to work in that in that level of integrity but in all we can’t just say well let me just say this because I think this is so important there are so many Christiane’s you know you’re saved you’re you’re you know you you love the Lord but when you don’t watch over your soul in the area financial stewardship and when you don’t have integrity in that area how can we be trusted with true riches how can we really steward what God has us to Stewart so I just want you to examine your heart so you know and say am i stewarding my finances the way that God wants me to store them and especially if you’re a Christian minister and you are storing the funds that come into the ministry I know @xp we are very very serious about the way funds are handled and that nothing gets wasted and that we’re we’re careful with expenditures in that and so please you know I just make an appeal to you to make sure there’s alignment in that area and I think let me go to that see when we have woundedness inside of us it controls every part of our soul the way we think about the money the decisions we make with the money and we can even get emotional with the money and and we have to be healed in our soul right now in that parable of the talents remember the master leaves and goes his servants talents we said that he gave three of his servants talents according to their abilities right did you know that word ability there is the word Dunamis really well you can almost read it like this excellence of soul right it means that he gave them talents according to the exercise oh wow we have the Dunamis in notes we all have the same mana tournament yeah we all have a tankful that never runs out but how much of it is that working us right how much of in are we releasing how much are we going okay I I want to make sure I am totally operating with utmost integrity in my finances so I want and releases Dunamis I already have from my spirit in my soul to heal every wound in my soul that might be connected to finances right I repent for anything I’ve done you know bad stewardship wastefulness AXS extortion anything an enemy soul that needs money to make it feel good yeah you know the idolatry of it yes I remember some people there are adorable people that love Jesus they had gotten an inheritance and they called me so would you please help us decide what to to you know invest in and so I began to pray with them and I said you know I feel like you’re supposed to wait until you get more healing in your soul before you move on then that night the the wife has a dream she has a huge diamond and these zombies are trying to steal it from her she calls me and tells me the dream and I said oh my gosh it’s what I told you see zombies are the walking dead right that’s what soul wounds are there are things that are supposed to be dead but they’re still alive and kicking and they’re trying to eat your stuff Wow okay and I said they’re trying these soul wounds are gonna try to steal your diamond your watch don’t make a move until you get more healing they didn’t listen though and they lost it all oh they lost every penny we have to be so careful we need to be healed in here first yes then God will give us more finances because he can trust us and when you make decrees over your soul that actually helps fortify the healing though we just have a couple minutes left I love to minister to the people so why don’t you go as a spirit lead too and let’s release healing to soul wounds all right let’s work on the finances because so many people need help in that area let’s just ask God to first cleanse us of any sin we might have committed with our finances so why don’t we just pray together okay just say Lord Jesus our repent for anything sinful that I have done with my finances our repent for excess bad stewardship extortion gambling Ussery manipulation in Jesus name all sin I’ll repent for that’s connected to my finances I put the blood of Jesus on it I’m just saying into that okay now let’s do the second step because if you don’t if you don’t start releasing Dunamis in you you won’t become excellent of soul that wound will still be their sins gone but the wound stays behind controlling you okay so not just put your hand on your belly and just say Jesus I released what I already have I have a tank full of Dunamis and I release it now to go into my soul to every woundedness in me that’s controlling my finances send Dunamis into my mind so I think right thoughts about money send it to my will so I get healed and make right decisions about my money and send it into my emotions so I don’t make emotional decisions with my finances to say I release the Dunamis now decree I am excellent

Video Transcript we’re going to be doing a whole lot of flipping around a whole lot of flippin I want you to go to second Chronicles if you will and I’m going to actually begin at the first verse and then I’ll try to call it out as I go but I’m excited for God’s a word thank you praise team band everybody for taking us into the presence of the Lord beginning at the first verse the Bible said sometime later the Moabites and the ammonites accompanied by the me unites they join forces to make war on Jehoshaphat verse 3 shaken Jehoshaphat prayed because sometimes when you really shake it to the cordless that’s what you do so shaken Joseph had prayed and he went to God for help and he ordered a nationwide fast the country of Judah United in seeking God’s help and they came from all the cities of Judah to pray to God go to verse 25 and when Jehoshaphat and his people came to carry off the plunder they found more loot than they could carry off equipment clothing valuables as a matter of fact it took three days to cart it away and on the fourth day they came together at the valley of blessing Baraka and they blessed God that’s how it got its name the valley of blessing now just a few verses earlier in verse three shaken some translations say was trouble he was worried he was bothered but here now just a few late verses later and there’s a whole lot of stuff that happened in between and I’m gonna try to hit the highlights of it today but I want to just talk for a few moments from a particular subject look to your neighbor on your right and say neighbor being overwhelmed by the battle – being overloaded by the blessing tell somebody else being overwhelmed by the battle to being overloaded by the blessing it all happened in a day’s journey from overwhelmed to overloaded well not just overloaded with troubles of burden of pressure but overloaded by the blessing sphere to God we thank you for your word it’s a timely word we honor you your word is always on time I pray for the anointing to deliver it into this room thank you for touching your people thank you for speaking confirmation in this house somebody came to hear have your way in here today God take over this room right now just take it over see what you want to say and do what you want to do and will thank you for it in Jesus name somebody just stand there for a second clap your hands and give God a praise in advance come on praise Him in advance for finding you today for speaking to you today for giving you a word that you can walk out here with and live with all week long thank you too dad god I thank you today for your word in Jesus name Amen and amen on your way down just hit somebody tell him from overwhelmed too overloaded overwhelmed to overload it y’all got to say Amen real loud because I can’t really see y’all good because the lights are in my face so I know you out there cuz of philia but say man every now and then thank you thank you y’all are awesome one of the most common complaints that that I hear or common phrases or common sentences or words that I hear today and probably you here too is is the phrase I am just over well over well now most of the time the people who say that they’re telling you the truth because there is a lot today that we can find ourselves overwhelmed by there’s this there’s just too many decisions that have to be made there’s one of the worst things I can stand it is when I you know cuz I will usually spend Saturday prepping for today and I come in here and preach this first service out preach second service and when church is over if my I can’t take it when my family looks at me and says where are we going to eat I just want to bop him upside the head cuz I haven’t been listening and hearing and I’ve been focused and I’ve been delivering and I made a I’ve made a hundred decisions in the last 24 hours if not more on what we’re doing right here right now and so the last thing that I want you to say to me is where are we going to eat so if you have a catering business we would love frite no I’m just kidding I’m just kidding most of the time I want to go home and go to bed because I’m just wore out but but I feel like it can just in case somebody one somebody make a decision on where we can go eat so that I can I can just walk out here and you say here’s where we’re going to eat today obviously nobody can do that so but the truth of the matter is is that there are so many decisions if you really stop to count the decisions that you make every day of your life you would be shocked to know how many decisions you make there’s just there’s there’s so many expectations that you that you and I feel like we have to meet there’s calls that have to be returned or you have to make the decision not to return the calls there’s there is request that you have to fulfill there are emails that you have to answer or you don’t answer and there are there are social media inbox messages so and then if that’s not enough on Instagram then you got to go to Facebook and they’ve got inboxes and we got so many boxes we’re about to be boxed in is what we’re about to be we’ve got friend requests that we should answer we’ve got and then when we go home and sit down and turn the TV on we have too many channels to choose from I just just overwhelmed I’m like when I was a kid we had three channels abies CBS and NBC that was it and they went off at two o’clock in the morning but they like that today and now we got so many things and then when you do decide to go somewhere to eat some of these restaurants there the menus are so complicated you just want to shut it like don’t even go to the Cheesecake Factory I’m just telling you never go there when you’re tired and when you’re really hungry because you’re just like what what is all of this right here you know I I got tickle s yesterday because I was reading a story about this woman who said that she she said I moved into a new apartment and I was glad to begin there and that by the time I’m getting everything unloaded unpacked I realized I don’t have a toilet brush for the bathroom so she said I went to Amazon and I started looking for a toilet brush she said do you know they sell on Amazon they sell 1161 different kinds of taller brushes now imagine that she said after about an hour of comparing the brushes and comparing the price difference in the brushes and reading all the conflicting reviews that came with all of the brushes she said I finally just got up got dressed I jumped in my car I drove to the local dollar store I walked in and I bought the only brand of toilet brushes that they sold there’s so many options and the more that our options increase our level of certainty about our choices begins to decrease because when you you make a choice you say okay I’m gonna use this I’m gonna take that and but because you have so many options you’re like I don’t know I I don’t know if that’s what I should do or if I should and the next thing you know you’re just consumed she said I wasted an hour just looking at all the reviews and the prices and comparing and I just wanted to toll it rush nobody was gonna see if it was just a toilet brush I mean it’s crazy the options that are out there today have you went to the coffee aisle in the grocery store Lee I mean if you’re a if you’re a newcomer to coffee you are gonna be confused as I don’t know what because there are so many options that are in how about toothpastes have you ever looked at how many options we have with toothpaste listen I just want spearmint I want peppermint all right I just want gel I want pace listen why do I have to go through all of that stuff just give me something that will help me and help people that come in contact with me and God forbid that you ever get a cold because if you ever have to go to the medicine aisle listen you go to the medicine aisle they say do you want something for runny eyes or do you want something for runny nose do you flu symptoms or do you have a cold is your ears burning or are they tingling or are they ringing is this your sinuses or is this your allergies or do you want non-drowsy or drowsy do you want 12 hours or do you want 24 hours what do you want I want you to go away that’s what I want seriously it can be totally overwhelming I mean I used to think Baskin Robbins 31 flavors was overwhelming it’s a breeze now when I was a kid I thought it was overwhelming because as I grew up we only had chocolate or vanilla and occasionally we would have Neapolitan does anybody know any apologies all my old folks they know what that is that’s that’s that’s when you get all three vanilla chocolate and strawberry so those are fun things that we can laugh about it comes to being overwhelmed but there are some serious things today that are overwhelming people people are overwhelmed by their debt it seems like just it’s just overwhelming the way especially if you have credit card debt how it can just the compound interest and god forbid that we would ever oh that I rs anything because they’re gonna get compound interest they’re gonna get penalties they’re gonna get all of that stuff people are overwhelmed student loans they they are there they’re overwhelmed by child care costs like I have to have a family I want to have a family but I make it costs me just as much to put them in in daycare as it does I feel sorry for kids today people today I didn’t have all those options when when my kids were coming up and but to think about it today it gets overwhelming people get overwhelmed by health care costs like do I do I do I do I pay for my medicine or do I repair the roof that’s over my head you know it’s just it gets overwhelming and then and then yours there’s your workload you’ve got to work and you got this load and just as soon as you think you have got your desk pretty much cleared off here comes about a truckload of other things and next thing you know it’s out of control people are overwhelmed by regret they’ve been through stuff then it’s it and they’ve got so much regret that it just stays present and forefront in their minds they’re over there overloaded by shame they’re overloaded by guilt they’re overloaded by worry and by fear some people are overloaded by the by the lack of security they want to be and want to have more security overwhelmed by pain overwhelmed by loss overwhelmed by anger overwhelmed by by grief overwhelmed by resentment and bitterness overwhelmed by the conflict between you and your kids or if everything’s good between you and your kids it’s between your kids and your kids and it’s just so much so so much as it’s causing us to be overwhelmed should we stay here should we move should we do this should we do that it’s it’s it can be absolutely overwhelmed it if you weren’t overwhelmed when I got up you’re overwhelmed right now overwhelmed in our families overwhelmed in our marriages we’re living in the same house but we’re also living in two different worlds it can be overwhelming what do you do when you find yourself overwhelmed and so today that’s that’s what I want to talk about in the man that’s gonna help me talk about that is that I I really like him he’s a cool guy his name is Josh AFET I mean listen a name like that is overwhelming can you imagine can you imagine when you go to kindergarten please spell your name spell jaws how many syllables in my name that’s overwhelming can you imagine what he what he felt like when he had to write and imagine his nickname think about that people that didn’t want to call him Joe ha stuff that they probably just called him Jay fat or fat you know it’s just that’s overwhelming in and of itself hello can Jay fat come out and play today it’s crazy but I really like Jehoshaphat I like him because he’s a good guy he was a good King and he is a really good leader he had a strange name and I don’t know why his mother did that but anyway I hope you’re naming jaha’s have had him here today just come down here right now I’m gonna pray for you so the Bible tells us that that he was a great leader he led the entire nation of Israel into a revival it was it was just a reviving that he brought death to them and in second chronicles 19 and 4 the Bible says that King Jehoshaphat lived in Jerusalem and he went among the people from bear Sheva to the mountains of Ephraim and he brought them back to the Lord God of their fathers he went to all of the little cities he didn’t just go to the big cities he went to all the little cities he went to where the real people lived and he got down with him and he hung out with him and by doing this he caused them to turn their hearts back to God you would be amazed to know just how far it how far reaching your willingness to come to where people are what would really go it could possibly cause them to turn their hearts back to God and so because of his efforts that he was a great success and there was a great spiritual awakening that came to Israel it was really he and the spiritual awakening was very good for the nation of Israel however we all know that that good is often going to be followed by something bad if we can just be honest today it’s a good time but you can’t hardly enjoy the good time for fear of what the bad time is going to bring we know that for every mountaintop you can always expect that there will be a valley we know that with every high somewhere there’s going to be a low we know that with every setup there’s probably somebody waiting in the wings to set you back it’s just life it’s it’s it’s how it’s it’s how it is there’s always the day after the wedding everybody looks forward to the wedding it’s exciting you build to order but then there’s the day after when it’s all over if there’s the day after Christmas we’re excited about Christmas but then you wake up the next day after Christmas and your kids are already bored and you don’t spend a thousand dollars on a little toys and they look at you and say can we go to Chuck E Cheese you know it’s it’s the day after the Super Bowl party everybody’s excited on the day but then there’s the day you wake up and it’s over how about the New Year’s Eve party everybody’s excited New Year’s Eve it’s all changing we’re getting everything behind us hallelujah but then you wake up in is January 1st and we’re just back to our routine so on a personal note I I have noticed that on the heels of most every one of my life’s greatest blessings or greatest achievements or greatest victories or one of my life’s greatest testimonies right on the heel heels of that there will always come a test anybody ever noticed that it’s just you no sooner get through celebrating till you realize oh shoot I’m in the middle of another test and this this particular happens it particularly happens when we make a fresh commitment to God anybody ever made a fresh commitment to God you’re in church on Sunday and you’re excited tears are rolling down your face you feel God you’re like God I’m gonna be I’m gonna change my life bringing my life into alignment with you I’m getting my house in order Cod I’m gonna get it all together and and next thing you know here comes a test without fail that happens and and sometimes the test comes through people that you love because not everybody is happy about your commitment to Christ and somebody is going to challenge your decision the enemy’s going to always make sure that somebody is there to challenge your decision somebody is gonna be angry because you have made up in your mind I’ve changed uniforms today I’ve changed sides I’ve changed ugly gence as I am in the Lord’s army today somebody is going to be upset at that upset about that because anytime you are the friend of God you are the enemy of Satan it just happens to work like that and and so that’s that’s what happens here that’s what was happening here in second chronicles chapter 20 and verse 1 it says in the King James or in the New King James it says after this after this after what after after the spiritual awakening happened that I just told you about after this the armies of the Moabites the ammonites and some of the Mia Knights declared war on Jehoshaphat of course they did because we just come through a great celebration so he is the king of a small country called Israel and three of his his enemies that get together and they decide that they’re going to gang up on him you ever felt like the life just ganged up on you maybe I’m preaching to the wrong Church by I’m gonna find somebody else to preach this to cuz they’ll get it I said do you ever feel like life just has ganged up on you so then the Bible says then then some messengers came and they told you Hoss effete in an inner that a great multitude or a huge combined army is coming against you and they’re coming from the Dead Sea and Jehoshaphat starts feeling overwhelmed because his enemies are ganging up on him and and I and I know it that’s that’s like sometimes you feel like I don’t know where you’ve been hit on the right and then as soon as you’re like pulling yourself together from that here comes something out on the left and and you’re being hit on every side by by the enemy and it seems like everything was going right but now it’s all going wrong at the same time anybody know what I’m talking about anybody had a week like that so that’s what King Jehoshaphat was feeling and things were going good the nation was was in revival all of a sudden he hears that the three armies of his enemies have United together and they are on their way to destroy him so now he’s facing a triple threat and he did just to be honest he’s a king but he is overwhelmed the Bible says that shaken Jay said yeah that’s what I’m gonna call him Jay fat said himself to seek the Lord he’s overwhelmed he’s scared and he’s shaken but look what he does he sets himself to seek the Lord he went to God for help and he also ordered that the entire nation make a sacrifice and begin a fast now there’s a lesson right there in that all by itself wouldn’t you feel overwhelmed by a problem do not let that problem intimidate you but make it motivate you to pray more okay why why should I be intimidated when I can be motivated look at somebody and say don’t be intimidated be motivated I’m overwhelmed but at the same time I’m more motivated to seek God in prayer I’m motivated to trust him more I’m motivated to believe more I’m motivated to depend and lean upon him more I’m overwhelmed but I’m also expecting more so you won’t either do one of the other you’ll be intimidated and you’ll back up or you’ll say oh right and you’ll become motivated and you’ll get yourself ready for whatever you have to get yourself ready so the first thing that Joseph had does is he makes it a matter of personal prayer the second thing that he does is he gets not only himself but he tells the whole nation around him to pray I want you to look at your neighbor and say neighbor I dare you to pray about it now look at that same neighbor and say back to their neighbor I dare you to pray about it see well what I want to pull from this story today there are five things that I’m gonna give you that Jehoshaphat did when he felt overwhelmed so if you are in this place get your iPad get pin get something out because I’m gonna give you something to take home with you today because I want you to put this in practice every time that you feel as if you are overwhelmed and and you know what if you don’t feel like you’re overwhelmed today take this down anyway cuz one of these days you’re gonna wake up and see where is that message pastor Brady was preaching about being overwhelmed so I want you to write this down what do you do when you’re overwhelmed the first thing that Jay fat did what he did I person said it the first thing that Jehoshaphat did when he let me say it like this there are five things he did and they worked for him and I would almost stake my life on it today that what I’m getting ready to tell you if that they work for him but they’re gonna work for you too I’m telling you I’m convinced up there there are five thinks the first thing that there are five right moves that he made when he was overwhelmed when you’re overwhelmed you can’t afford to make a wrong move so I need you to write this down the five write loses one of the first write moves he made was he turned to God write that down the first right move he made was he turned to God he didn’t turn to friends he didn’t turn to his military capabilities he didn’t turn to his weapons he didn’t turn to human reasoning he didn’t turn to social media to take it out on social media he didn’t turn to to rant to anybody he didn’t turn to his followers he didn’t start developing a plan there’s nothing wrong with the plan everybody needs a plan but before you develop a plan you need to pray and as you pray God will give you his plan and not your plan okay so you’ve got to turn to prayer before you turn to your plan prayer should be our first choice and not our last resort I said prayer should be our first choice and not our last resort oftentimes we wait till we get to the point where prayer is the last thing that we can do we’ve all heard people say well all we can do now is just you’re heard somebody say that before all we can do now is just pray we’ve done tried everything we know and so all we’re gonna do right now is we’re just gonna put it in the hands of God and we’re going to pray no we should have prayed before you ever done anything else prayer should have been our first choice and not our last resort I’m so most say until somebody hears it today God is saying you’re not praying to me you’re asking everybody else you’re trying to work it in your head you’re trying to figure out how you can do it you’re trying to make your next move and God said stop a minute and talk to me about it you should go straight to God and say God I got trouble coming from everywhere I’ve got financial trouble I’ve got to help him tails issues I got family trouble I got emotional trouble Lord I’m spiritually in trouble and I need your help somebody said I need your help that’s what Jay Joseph had did Jehoshaphat said not only am I gonna pray about it he said but I’m gonna get this entire nation to pray he said the country in in verse 4 in the message he says the country of Judah United in seeking God’s help they came from all of the cities of Judah to pray to God see once it gets the whole nation to pray once it gets gets everybody all the national leaders to come together and pray then he opens up his mouth okay first he’s just praying to God second he gets everybody else in there to pray with him but then when everybody gets there he publicly opens his mouth and he starts calling on the name of the Lord sometimes you can’t just pray in your head and you can’t just bring in your heart sometimes you got to open your mouth and let everybody around you hear you call on God sometimes he wants to hear your voice and then good enough for me to pray for you some situations you got to pray for yourself he did that that’s leadership right there that’s amazing leadership right there if we could get some of our political people our spiritual people our social leaders our local leaders our national leaders to come together and pray to lay aside denomination and pray just set aside our differences and pray to put our logos and our egos in the floor and just begin to pray I believe that we would hear from heaven did somebody say man right there cuz there’s no problem that is too big and there is no problem that is too small for us to pray about if it’s big enough for you to worry about it’s big enough for you to pray about hallelujah so I want to teach you exactly how he prayed because I believe that if you’ll apply this to your life when you’re overwhelmed let’s go work for you too so so what did I say the first thing he did was he turned to God for help okay and then in verses all the way down from verses 6 to verses 12 he asks God for questions he asks are you not do you not is there not will you not each one of those requests was a way of praying to God because of of heat because of the fact that he was under attack so the first thing he said that the Bible says he did he turned to God in prayer the second thing that he did was he focused on God and not the problem now hear me I know that’s going right over your head today and you’re adding think about going in one ear and out the other but I dare you to apply this to your life he’s focused on God and not his problem have you have you have you asked anybody the question like have you ever just looked and say hey how are you doing and their answer is B will be like well under the circumstances I’m doing okay well number one why are you under the circumstance you need be on top of the circumstances okay not on dirt but on top all right circumstances are like a mattress if you get on top of it you’ll rest if you get underneath it you’re gonna suffocate tell somebody to get on top get on top so when you need when you pray you need to turn your focus off of the problem and turn your focus on to the solution turn your focus on to God and if you continue here’s why because if you continue to look at the negative if you continue to focus on the problem where the focus goes the power flows and what was little becomes big big big big and bigger so if you focus on the lack the black is gonna get bigger if you focus on the problem the problem will get bigger if you focus on the negative all the negativity is going to get bigger and you will continue to feel overwhelmed so Jehoshaphat made the decision in prayer and he asked it for ways I told him to put I got my notes y’all gotta up up under number two I want you to write a B C and D here’s the four ways he did it when he began to pray the Bible said he remembered how big God was he remembered how big God was the bigger you realize how you’re God the bigger that you recognize how big your God is the smaller your your problem is going to become your problem is going to shrink when God expands in your life do you understand that when God gets big the problem gets small so you me and here’s why because he is all-powerful he is always in control he is all-knowing there is nothing that is too hard for him and with God all things are possible so he said in verse 6 are you not God in heaven this is how this man is praying are you not God in heaven do you not rule over the kingdoms of the nations and is your hand and in your hand is there not power and is there not mine so that no one is able to withstand you when’s the last time you went to God like that he called God out that’s exactly what he did he’s saying yeah I’ve got some problems but I know this I know that you are bigger than my problems so he remembered how big God was second thing he did is he remembered what God had done in the past well write that down you gotta remember what God has done in the past he said I realized that I’ve been in tough times and tight places before but I also know that I’m still here I know that I have survived them I know that I have come through them I know that I have outlasted them I know that I have outlived them because I know and whom I have believed and I and persuaded that he was able and if that God did it from me then the same God that did it for me then is gonna do it for me right now look at somebody say he’ll do it again so he said in verse 7 he says Oh God did you not drive out those who lived in this land before you brought your people Israel here he’s reminding God you did this before he’s saying hey aren’t you the one that brought us here we didn’t even come here ourselves we didn’t ask to be here you’re the one that established us you brought us in and you brought us in through Abraham and then we went down into Egypt and we got enslaved for 400 years and when Moses brought us back did you not take care of those enemies for us then and now they’re trying to return and here we are trying to get in our homeland and you took care of them you wiped them out from us and now God here they come again he says you took care of them back then and you took care of them in my past you won’t take care of them in my future do you hear the confidence he’s saying I know who you are and I know what you’re able to do if you don’t know that in your belly then you’ll never get anywhere in God but you at some point you’ve got to say I know you are and I know what kind of power you had you need to remind yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed that one God is a big card and number two if he helped you before he will help you again and then I love how he starts recollecting this in verse 9 he said you helped us when we face disasters you were there for us when we were in wars you there went disease hit us you were there when we were facing famine he said I remember how big you are I remember what you have done and here’s the third one I remember what you promised well look at your neighbor and say neighbor you got to know what he’s promised there are 7,000 promises in the Word of God and a sure sign that you don’t know what God has promised to you is the fact that you worry you can’t worry and believe his promise at the same get somebody tell him I believe God I believe God Jehoshaphat said God I know how I know you’re big I know what you’ve done and I also know what you promised does anybody know what God has promised you he said I know what you promised and because of that he said I’m up staying on your promise did he did you not give this land to your friend Abraham and to his descendants and did you not give it to us forever you did not put a time frame on this you said this was ours forever didn’t you promise this property to us did you say this was our land didn’t you say this was our parking lot did you say this was our church didn’t you say this was my house did you call it the promised land on purpose so I want to know how you gonna keep your word God are you gonna let these three enemies come in and try to wipe us out he’s overwhelmed but his confidence is coming back I can hear it he said I remember how big you are I remember what you’ve done and I remember what you promised fourth thing he said I remember your character he said I know what kind of God you are I know that you’re a good god I know that you’re a faithful God I know that you’re a loving God I know that you’re a fair God I know that you’re an honest God I know that you are just and I know that you are even-handed so here let me really quick in one minute give you just a little backdrop to this story for hundreds of years earlier when Moses got the Jews out of slavery and started brought them back to the promised land there were three tribes that had already moved in while Israel had been enslaved three tribes and their names were the Amorite the Moabites and the me unites and God specifically told the Jews as he was bringing them in don’t worry about them don’t fight them let them live right there leave them alone let them stay where they are he said I don’t want you to fight them I don’t want you to wipe them out I don’t want you to get into this battle because this battle is not yours just leave them on the right side of the Jordan so now you’re up to date a hundred years later there are three tribes and now they are uniting together attempting to try to destroy Israel are you kidding me we could have wiped you out when we came back but we let you live their wing charge you no rent we you stay right where you were we were obeyed God we could have killed you but we’ll let you live and now you gonna get together and act like you don’t kill us you are kidding me so you know it’s awesome that does he immediately goes to appealing to the character of God and he does it in verse 10 in verse 12 and he said look here you didn’t let us touch them when we got here at first we detoured around them we did not lay a hand on them and now they have come to kick us out of the country God that you gave us oh dear God won’t you take care of them we are helpless before these vandal hordes ready to attack us we don’t know what to do we are looking unto you so do you see what Jehoshaphat is doing right there he’s saying God I don’t know how to fix it but I’m turning to you I’m overwhelmed I don’t have the answers there is no way I am going into battle because the odds are against us it’s three armies two one if I take our armies in there their army in there that we are going to lose so I’m turning to you and I’m choosing to focus on you and I’m gonna focus on the problem promise and not the problem but but he said in doing so I’m gonna remind you number one how big you are you’re all-powerful you’re all knowing you’re all able you’re capable number two I’m gonna remind you what you’ve done for me in the past you’ve been there before you helped us out of tighter places than this I’m gonna remind you number three what you promised us about our future I’m calling you out on the gaudy then you said it or you didn’t either you gonna do it or you’re not going to it and I’m asking you God keep your word keep your word to my family keep your word to my household keep your word keep your promise to me and number four he said I’m I’m gonna ask you to fulfill your character I’m gonna asked you to be who you are well okay so y’all got that all that is up under number two I ain’t got time to wait I gotta keep moving so the thing that Jehoshaphat did that was right that you got to do what I got to do that’s right his number one he turned to God for help number two he focused on God and not the problem the third thing that he did that was right he admitted his inability he admitted his inability the first step toward victory in any area of your life is to come out of denial and admit that you can’t fix this I can’t do it on my own I can’t get out of debt on my own I cannot find a job on my own I cannot pay back these school loans on my own I can’t raise these kids on my own I cannot face retirement on my own I’m overwhelmed and I am admitting to you my in abilities that’s what that goes all the way back to that thing that gives you grace when you come before God and say I’m gonna tell you people think I got it together but the truth is I ain’t got it together I can’t fix it if you don’t help me if you don’t fix it it’s not going to be fixed he said we are helpless and we don’t know what to do what is he saying right there he’s saying we don’t have the power and we don’t have the knowledge oh it’s hard to admit that you don’t have the power and you don’t have the knowledge you are the king you’re that king of your world and you find it hard to go to God and say look I’m powerless I’m helpless and I don’t know how to do this and I love what the next verse says he said now all of Judah this was the real men with their little ones who with their wife’s so they weren’t ashamed they didn’t have these milli goes okay cuz they knew what they were in trouble they let their wives and their children see them calling on the name of Jesus they stood before God together and the wives just didn’t wait on the husband’s the wife’s began to pray out to God cover our house cover our family cover our children why because if one of us can put a thousand to flight two of us can put ten thousands of flight and the Bible said that the whole Potter’s House Lord I mean the whole nation started calling on the name of the Lord what do you do when you’re overwhelmed hit somebody and tell them get honest before God my marriage looks like an angle make it God this dream looks like you will never come to pass the plans that I have are all jacked up I need you to help me if you don’t help me I’ll never get a harvest if you don’t help me I’m not gonna make it so what do you do when you’re overwhelmed you pour your heart out you poor young nuts out and you surrender everything to God you turn it over to him and you trust him and when you do here’s how God responds he said in the fifteenth verse he said listen all of you are Judah you inhabitants of Jerusalem and you took King Jason thus says the Lord to you don’t be afraid but that it happened till he got honest that didn’t happen until he was got honest privately and he got honest publicly it’s sad when your title won’t let you access the help that’s right in your house in your home in your business and your family because you got to keep being who you are defeat it at all but when he cried when he gathered people around him that have the same heart the same mind the same vision the voice of the Lord begin to speak do not be afraid don’t be dismayed because of this great multitude why why why are you telling me that because this battle is not yours this battle is God well listen to me I’m your pastor I love you I want your marriage to make it I want your children to make it I want you to make it I want you to get out of debt I want you to get to where you can live comfortably in God but I’m gonna tell you the truth and I can tell you because I know what I’m talking about the reason that were stressed out the reason that we’re exhausted the reason that our marriages are falling apart the reason that we’re weary in well-doing the reason that were checked out the reason that were wore out the reason that were burned out is because we are trying to fight battles that are not ours to fight you’ve got a discern what is your battle and what is the Lord’s you don’t have the energy you don’t have the knowledge you don’t have the power and the reason that we’re feeling frantic about all of this stuff is because we’re trying to be God we are not God God is God I said God is God God is saying did I ever ask you Jos a pet to fight these three armies Oh No haven’t I always taken care of you yeah you’ve always taken care of us haven’t I made some promises to you well I don’t know who I am talking to today and who God brought me here to preach to but I came to tell somebody that God brought me here to tell you that this battle is not yours this battle is the Lord’s this problem is not your yell that big thing that’s in your face right now God said that thing right there this ain’t your battled this ain’t your problem this is not your situation it’s not yours to fix it is God’s to fix and if you stop trying to fix what God has not called you to fix then you will stop being a failure because you’re in over your head and God said I want you to humble yourself I’m wanting you to swallow your pride and I’m wanting you to invite me into your struggle but we keep failing oh god I’m such a failure I messed up I’m so sorry hold up you did not let me down cuz you never held me up to begin with I won’t tell you that right now oh you ain’t that powerful see some of us you have you ever have you ever have you ever sat on a plane and you know it’s getting ready to run down it’s going down the runways getting ready to take off have you ever just started flapping your wings like it was your responsibility for that plane to take off some of you are exhausted right now because you’re walking around flapping your rings trying to get your dream off the ground trying to get your business off the ground trying to get your relationships off the ground you’ve been flapping so hard and you have been doing so long that now you’re about to give up you’re about to throw in the towel you’re about to quit hello and God is saying right back to you uh listen go ahead quit in whatever you know whatever you need to do he said it’s about time it’s about time you give up because that is not the strategy I gave you the strategy I gave you is something different and if you start trying to make it happen and just let it happen you will find out that you got some jet engines attached to you and those jet engines will do all the lifting tell somebody let God do the heavy lifting you’re slapping and all you’re flapping in the world is never going to be enough come on somebody repeat this with me God is God and I’m not God is God and I’m not close your eyes and say it God is God and I I am NOT God the Sun in verse 17 you will not need to fight in this battle look at somebody and tell him it ain’t your battle position yourself he said you ain’t gonna have to fight but this is what you’re gonna have to do position yourself stand still but stand still and see us you know what salvation means the complete deliverance spirit soul and body stand still and see the salvation of the Lord who is with you old Judah is with you all Jerusalem and that happened Jeff had bowed his head and with his face to the ground and all Judah and all of the inhabitants of Jerusalem they bow down before the Lord and they started worshiping the Lord he’s saying boy you can worry or you can worship you can panic or you can praise you can run or you can rest and sometimes it takes more courage to do nothing than it does to do something be stale rest relax and stand firm here’s the fourth thing I got a stop for a thing that he did what was right he thanked God in advance but verse 21 after talking it over with the people Jehoshaphat appointed aquire for God so he’s like ok just say not battle but this is our opportunity to worship I want you to sing and I want you to sing and I want you to say and the Bible said that he he we dressed them in holy robes they even had they even had choir robes Thank You Hafsah fans today and he said I’m dressed him in holy robes and they were to march ahead of the troops and they were to sing and to give thanks to God because his love endure it forever so you got the army back here and you got the choir out there that’s Judah out there and you got the fighter back here look at somebody say sends you the first since universe send you Bray’s out first that’s what he was doing he was sent the praises out in advance and oh hear me today Church and when you start to thanking God in advance for miracles I’m telling you God tells miraculous sometimes we gotta stand still and say thank you sometimes we gotta stand there and when we want to move we gotta resist the urge to move and say nobody it’s my job just to say thank you and the Bible said as in verse 22 as soon as they started praising and shouting to God somebody say at that moment at that moment if you were smart you would be like oh god I just thank you right now that moment God sets ambushment against the men of Amnon against Moe who did it who did it they didn’t have to do it God did it and as they were as they sang the men of Amnon of Moab and Mount Sierra as they were attacking Judah they started attacking Judah they started attacking the praises and next thing you know God got involved and all of them ended up dead can y’all pull it up can y’all pull up verse 24 verse 24 pull it up on the screen so it saved me a minute’s time verse 24 hello okay so when Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness they looked toward the multitude and they were dead bodies these are the people that were coming after us keep it going keep it going there were dead bodies they had fallen on the earth and no one had escaped keep going and when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away their spoil they found among them an abundance of valuables on the dead bodies did somebody say I’m going in for the kill I’m going in for the kill there was precious jewellery which they stripped off for themselves more than they could even carry away and they were that for three days you’re alone three days three days they were saya three days just gathering up the spoil and they did that because there was so much keep going keep going and on the fourth day they assembled in the valley of Baraka for their they bless the Lord I bet you better bless the Lord therefore the name of that place was called the valley of Baraka until this day keep it going and then they returned every man of Judah and Jerusalem with Jehoshaphat in front of them so it was Judah in front of them now Jehoshaphat is there he said Jehoshaphat said to them go back to Jerusalem and boy y’all better go back with joy I’m telling somebody in this place when you go home today you better go back with joy why why because the law I had made them rejoice over their enemies keep going so they came to Jerusalem and they got strained instruments they got harps they got trumpets and they took it to the house of the Lord and the fear of God was on all the kingdoms I bet there was the kingdoms whose countries when they heard that the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel keep going then the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet why in other words all of his enemies shut up because God I don’t I don’t know for in the message version because I think mine reads a little bit different but all of his enemies shut down why cuz they heard about how not how they fought they’re better yeah see people might be a match for you they’re not a match for your God here’s the fifth one and I gotta stop here’s the fifth thing that he did that was right that you gotta do he discovered the blessing in the middle of the bed one of the things that happens when you stop flapping your wings and you stop trying to make things happen and you stop pretending like you are God and like you are so in control of your own life as you get blessed beyond measure God took them from the valley of the battle over to the valley of baracan that means the valley of blessing from the valley of the battle to the valley of the blessing God wants to give you so much that you have to share it with other people just imagine that just imagine that for a minute don’t let that go over your head Ino out your ear can you imagine God flipping the script in your life in a 24-hour period I’ve read you the Bible today I this is not my story this is God’s story this is what I’m telling you he flipped that script they got the prophetic word they went to sleep they got some rest then they got up and they got the victory they went from being overwhelmed by the burden to overloaded by the blessing and let me tell you somethin verse 27 can you pull up verse 27 for me in verse 27 the Bible said they were then they returned every man of Judah and Jerusalem with Jehoshaphat in front of them to go back to Jerusalem with joy for the Lord had made them rejoice over their enemies in other words it wasn’t they themselves who got the victory this was hand given to them God did this for them you know there are some battles that when you win you’re so exhausted from the fight because there is a fight that I’m not to fight right out of you there’s some battle you win but you’re like I need time to recover before I can enjoy what I want not this time they got the spoils they went back home rejoicing what was the difference this battle was the Lord’s they didn’t earn it they didn’t fight for it they didn’t beg for it they didn’t buy it all they did was just receive it because when you do those five things y’all got all of them can we put them up just put them up on the screen real quick one two three four five one two three pray about it thank you he focused on God and not the problem he admitted his inability he thanked God in advance and he discovered the blessing in the bad y’all got that come on jump up on your feet all over the building just look at somebody and tell him I’m going after the blessing I’m going after the blessing I’ve had some tough times I’ve been in some tight places but it’s getting rid of shifts because I’m getting a focus on God I’m get rid of call on God and not my neighbor not my friend not my buddy not my mama not I put my daddy I’m getting a call out God and I’m gonna look at bad things and I’m most searched until I find the good things there were dead bodies everywhere they climbed over the bad days and they got the rings off that finger and they got the jewelry off their neck are y’all here at me be careful that you don’t throw away the bad cuz your blessing might be right in the middle of it and sometimes you gotta be willing to say hmm this is a little weird but give me what belongs to me this is mine hear this I got a stop here this right here they didn’t come after the enemy when they got back to their land and realized they had been inhabiting that place God said don’t touch him because there’s a time there’s a time frame be careful what you try to uproot outside of the timing of God hello don’t stir up the devil if you can’t cast him out all that means is you gotta get before God and you got to hear him more clearly but if you will all this overwhelm stuff I want every person that’s been feeling overwhelmed to lift both of your hands right now in this building Father in the name of Jesus I see hands all over this building today I believe that we’ve given you our people this word we’re gonna stand on your word if it worked for Jehoshaphat if it works for Judah it’s gonna work for our us if it worked for their house it’s gonna work for our house so Lord today we just surrender everything to you Lord we lay it all down right here in this room we asked you God for help we admit that we can do it by ourselves we absolutely need you in our lives we praise you in advance for what you’re gonna do we love you we trust you we rest in you and we promised God that we’re not just gonna discount things because they look bad but Lord we’re gonna look into the band and we’re gonna see the blessing that you have appropriated for us well you have blessings put in crazy places but that’s all right God cuz we’re going from being overwhelmed by the battle to being all God to being blessed to living in the valley of the blessing I want everybody to get something I do this periodically because I want to remind you of this I want you to get something in your hand that’s heavy that you don’t mind losing for a moment please don’t grab your iPad or your iPhone because then you’re gonna come back and ask me to pay for it and I’m not paying for it I have a parking lot to pay for that’s that’s my paper but I want you get something heavy get your Bible get your notebook put your wife down sir get something heavy and then move your move yourself a little bit and give yourself some space you’re like space I wish I couldn’t give [

+] B.B. King left his longtime label home, RPM/Kent Records, in the early '60s and signed to ABC-Paramount. But RPM/Kent retained many unreleased King masters, and over the years the company released them, thus forcing King to compete with himself. The most successful of these releases was 'Rock Me Baby,' a blues King wrote with Joe Josea and recorded in about 1958. The lyric is a basic plea for sex -- 'Rock me all night long' -- while the music provides a blues structure that allows King room for biting guitar work. 'Rock Me Baby' was released as a single on Kent in the spring of 1964 and climbed into the Top 20 of the R&B charts and the Top 40 of the pop charts, making it King's biggest crossover hit yet and his most successful pop record until the appearance of 'The Thrill Is Gone' five and a half years later. That exposure helped the song become a blues standard, one that was played by many guitarists. Probably the most radical restatement of 'Rock Me Baby' occurred on June 18, 1967, when the Jimi Hendrix Experience played it at the Monterey International Pop Festival.

Dating from 1BC, the temple would have formed part of the Forum. Built for Emperor Augustus and made from sandstone from Montjuïc, the temple was discovered in the 15th century, and its origins remained a mystery until the 19th century. Today, only three columns of the temple remain intact and now form a part of the building. 17- Bunkers del Carmel Another opportunity for visitors to get a birds-eye view of the city of Barcelona is the Bunkers del Carmel. Built in 1938 as anti-aircraft fortifications to protect the city during the Spanish civil war, the bunkers offer views over the entire city, giving the gunners a strategic advantage. Following the war, the guns from the bunkers were removed, but their concrete housings were left behind. In 2000 the bunkers were renovated as more tourists began to flock to the area for its views.

On a more serious note however, Australia is smaller than Europe (people forget that western Russia is part of Europe,) and Greenland, usually described as the world’s largest island, is a continent in geographical terms. I have read that Madagascar is also an island continent although I’ve never checked that for myself. On a personal note, I’m not a geography nerd but I am a pub quiz ace and this kind of stuff is certain to come up in questions at times. Related Answer Purushottam Maurya , Postgraduate Student at Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences (2017-present) Answered 3 years ago What is the largest continent in the world? Originally Answered: Which is the largest continent in the world? Asia Asia is the world’s largest and most populous continent on Earth. It covers 30% of the Earth’s land area. Asia hosts about 60% of the world’s current human population. It contains the world's biggest nation (China). The continent of Europe along with Asia form the world’s largest landmass, Eurasia, however these two continents on land are divided by the Ural mountains which stretch right up to the Caspian Sea. Asia contains the highest point on Earth (Mount Everest).

Some Great Wall sections around Beijing you see today were rebuilt by him. In keeping with its immense size, the Great Wall involved an unprecedented number of laborers, and met with a great many difficulties in its construction. Experts estimate that during the reign of the first emperor of Qin (246-210 BC), one in twenty people were forced to join this construction project. Who were they? According to historical records, the builders of the Great Wall were comprised of three groups: namely soldiers, peasants and convicted criminals. Nearly 300,000 soldiers were summoned by the first emperor of Qin as a major labor force to take part in the construction. Countless peasants who could not bear the burden of various kinds of tax were forced to physically shoulder heavy stones and help build the Great Wall. In addition, convicts who had committed crimes ranging from homicide to tax evasion, as well as prisoners of war, were all punished with ‘Wall-duty’. Lots of people were force to built the Great Wall, so there are many sad stories happened at that time. The most widespread one is ' Meng Jiangnv bringing down the Great Wall with tears '.

It was still a very important line of defense and of communication along China's northern periphery up through the first half of the 17th century. Much of it had collapsed or was in severe disrepair by the early 20th century. A major reconstruction effort focused on sections near Beijing (and therefore accessible by tourists) has restored some sections but most of it remains 'wild wall,' crumbling and overgrown, with many of its bricks and stones long ago taken for use by nearby farmers. Gwydion Madawc Williams , retired computer analyst and widely read on history and science Answered 5 years ago · Author has 38.1K answers and 32.1M answer views Almost all of them built a Great Wall in the north, to hamper raids by nomads. They were in different places, and followed on from walls built by the Warring States against each other. The Wall we see today was build by the Ming, and is also a fortified road that allowed armies to be moved fast in relative safety. Note that it has defences on both sides, on the assumption that nomads might have crossed elsewhere and be waiting in ambush. It was also never breached. A Ming general opened the gates to the Manchu after Chinese rebels forced the last Ming emperor to suicide.

New Seven Wonders of the World, Taj Mahal, Machu Picchu, and more 21 amazing images of the new Seven Wonders of the World Culture Travel Galleries Photo: tenkl /Shutterstock Kate Siobhan Mulligan Alex Bresler May 16, 2019 When it comes to naming the world’s greatest hits, seven seems like an awfully small number. Especially considering only one of the seven original, ancient wonders is still standing — the Great Pyramid of Giza. In 2007, a Swiss foundation put it to the public to nominate a new crop of modern wonders, seizing the long overdue opportunity to recognize some of the most iconic sites on the planet today. Millions voted, declaring the following new 7 wonders of the world worthier than the rest — unsurprisingly, all seven are UNESCO World Heritage sites. From South America’s most famous citadel to the former stomping grounds of Rome’s fiercest gladiators, these are the historic, iconic, and immensely photogenic new Seven Wonders of the World, or New7Wonders for short. 1. Taj Mahal, India Photo: RuthChoi /Shutterstock Photo: Kate Siobhan Mulligan The Taj Mahal is a labor of love. Emperor Shah Jahan built it in honor of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who bore 14 children but died in labor.

How the Great Wall of China Works | HowStuffWorks How the Great Wall of China Works By: Alia Hoyt Famous Landmarks Image Gallery The Great Wall of China was built to keep out invading Huns, and today it attracts 10 million tourists annually. See more pictures of famous landmarks . TEH ENG KOON/AFP/ Getty Images Long before tanks and long-range missiles became available for combat, militaries relied on less technologically advanced mechanisms to protect themselves against invaders. The Great Wall of China was designed to perform the most basic defensive war principle: Keep the good guys in and the bad guys out. While China's was not the first wall built to serve this purpose (Denmark, Korea and the Roman Empire all built walls prior), the Great Wall is arguably one of the world's most famous and impressive man-made structures. The name 'Great Wall of China' is largely a term bestowed upon the structure by Westerners. In fact, it has traditionally been known to the Chinese as the Wan Li Chang Cheng, which translates to 'Ten Thousand Li Long Wall,' or 'Long Wall of Ten Thousand Li' (li is a Chinese unit of length, with two li being equivalent to one kilometer). Advertisement So how great is the wall?

Taj Mahal Agra India - Continent Chasers Taj Mahal Agra India 3 comments Taj Mahal Agra India India, cows roaming the streets, rubbish strewn on the pavements, cricket, curry and people, masses of people. These are the things that came to my mind before visiting. There is one other iconic image of the nation, one that is shown on every guide-book and a place many dream of visiting. It is of course the majestic Taj Mahal. When I first saw the place in a book as a child I marvelled at how beautiful it was, I pictured this wonderful “palace” set in a picturesque, serene setting and dreamed of one day being there. The Taj is located in the city of Agra, a couple of hundred kilometres from New Delhi in the north of the country. Would our trip be exotic, tranquil and quintessentially Indian like I imagined as a child? Or would it be a great let down, a tourist magnet overrun with touts, scam artists and queues? Here is our trip to the Taj Mahal Agra India. Taj Mahal Agra India Setting the Bar a little too high for us blokes!

Although the Taj Mahal may be the most famous structure he commissioned, other sites, such as the Red Fort of Delhi, the Wazir Khan Mosque, and the Jama Masjid of Delhi also serve as reminders of his appreciation for impressive architecture. Who is Buried in the Taj Mahal? The Answer Tells a Story Many who learn of the Taj Mahal’s history look at the structure with new eyes from that moment on. While its architecture alone makes it one of the top places to see before you die, its history also makes it a tragic love story in the form of one of the world’s most recognizable sites.

It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan (reigned 1628–1658), to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal, which attracts millions of tourists every year, also houses Shah Jahan’s tomb. The Taj Mahal was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983 for being the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage. The Taj Mahal is considered to be the greatest architectural achievement in the whole range of Indo-Islamic architecture, according to UNESCO. It was declared a winner of the New 7 Wonders of the World (2000–2007) initiative. The Taj Mahal incorporates and expands on design traditions of Persian and earlier Mughal architecture. INDEX Construction of the mausoleum Mumtaz Mahal’s tomb The main dome Interior decoration Mughal garden Son Aurangzeb dethrones Shah Jahan Construction of the mausoleum The land to build the Taj Mahal got through an exchange. The Shah Jahan presented Maharajah Jai Singh of Jaipur principality with a large palace in the heart of Agra in exchange for the three-acre land on the bank of the Yamuna. The previous Mughal buildings were primarily constructed of red sandstone. But Shah Jahan promoted the use of white marble inlaid with semi-precious stones.

Earlier and later lists by the historian Herodotus ( c. 484 BC– c. 425 BC) and the poet Callimachus of Cyrene ( c. 305 –240 BC), housed at the Museum of Alexandria, survive only as references. The Colossus of Rhodes was the last of the seven to be completed, after 280 BC, and the first to be destroyed, by an earthquake in 226/225 BC. As such, all seven wonders existed at the same time for a period of less than 60 years. Scope The list covered only the sculptural and architectural monuments of the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions, which then comprised the known world for the Greeks. Hence, extant sites beyond this realm were not considered as part of contemporary accounts. The primary accounts, coming from Hellenistic writers, also heavily influenced the places included in the wonders list. Five of the seven entries are a celebration of Greek accomplishments in the arts and architecture (the exceptions being the Pyramids of Giza and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon).

The prime places to explore are of course the reef and the sea - scuba diving, snorkelling, underwater observatories, semi-submersible craft, fishing, sailing, charter boats, whale watching (July to November), turtle watching, glass bottom boat cruises or just plain relaxing by the water taking in some sun. The sea is full of colour and life - there are over 1500 species of fish, 400 species of coral and 250 species of birds. Various species of whales enter the region for courtship, mating, birthing and calf-rearing activities, and can be seen from June until late October. You'll find all manner of tourism operators in the main towns of the region, so finding something to do or someone to take you to a spot or activity on the reef is easily done. The Great Barrier Reef is a wonder indeed, but there is another wonderful natural attraction along the coast - rainforest. Some of the world's finest examples of this habitat follow the Queensland coast north - spots such as Kuranda, Mossman Gorge, Eungella National Park, Daintree National Park and Cape Tribulation, to name but a few. Some of these areas are located inland, but others are right on the coast, a meeting place of reef and rainforest.

7 Man-Made Architectural Wonders of the Ancient World | Urbanist 7 Man-Made Architectural Wonders of the Ancient World Article by SA Rogers, filed under 7 Wonders Series in the Travel category The Colosseum, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Great Wall of China and Machu Picchu are world-famous ancient architectural wonders, but they’re hardly the only man-made structures worthy of effusive praise, enthusiastic photography and economy-stimulating tourism. These 7 historical sites, ranging from an incredibly deep well in India to the cradle of Mayan civilization – complete with the world’s first highway system – are often overlooked, but represent some of the most jaw-dropping and mysterious engineering feats from ancient times to the medieval period. Chand Baori, India (images via: moolf) Perhaps one of the most beautiful examples of patterns in architecture, the 10th century Chand Baori well in the Indian state of Rajasthan is the world’s deepest, extending 100 feet below the surface of the earth. Built as a solution to chronic water supply issues in this arid region, the well has a total of 3,500 steps in 13 levels arranged in an inverted ‘V’ shape and is adjacent to the Harshat Mata temple.

The Psychedelic Nature of Islamic Art and Architecture Sam Woolfe October 1, 2018 The Psychedelic Nature of Islamic Art and Architecture Nasir al-Mulk Mosque in Shiraz, Iran Islamic art and architecture are often called psychedelic in nature – and rightly so. Both the art and architecture from the Islamic world feature vibrant colours and intricate, geometric patterns; much like the kaleidoscopic patterns one can see during a psychedelic experience, either with eyes opened or closed. During psychedelic experiences, people may report seeing arabesques, which are a fundamental aspect of Islamic art and consist of rhythmic linear patterns of interlacing foliage and spiralling stems. An arabesque is usually a single design – featuring plant motifs – that is tessellated (or tiled). Tessellation is when a surface is covered with geometric shapes that fit together in a pattern with no overlaps or gaps. Some users of DMT have said that the ceilings of world-renowned mosques (such as the Jalil Khayat Mosque in Iraq) bear a striking resemblance to their DMT visions. But why is there this correspondence between Islamic art and architecture and psychedelia? Jalil Khayat Mosque in Erbil, Iraq There are different ways we could answer this question, ranging from the reasonable to the highly speculative.

In the process, it has exposed dozens of layers of progressively older rocks, giving Grand Canyon one of its most defining characteristics: it is one of the few places in the world where you can view almost two billion years of Earth history just by glancing up and down. Ancient Rocks of Grand Canyon Most rocks in Grand Canyon are sedimentary rocks, which form when sediments such as sand, silt, or mud gather in thick layers that, over time, are compressed into rock. Grand Canyon’s sedimentary rock layers accumulated over millions of years on the prehistoric surface of northern Arizona, which has been home to giant sand dunes, muddy river deltas, and shallow tropical seas over the past 500 million years. These environments formed as ancient continents drifted across the globe and ancient oceans advanced and retreated over those continents. Eventually, eroded sediments from each of these environments formed distinct layers of sedimentary rocks. Sand dunes were cemented into sandstone, mud was compressed into shale, and the discarded shells of marine animals were cemented together into limestone. Because Grand Canyon’s rocks were laid down chronologically, one on top of another, they reflect a geological relationship known as superposition. Simply put, superposition means that the rocks above are younger than the rocks below.

Those who have done it say the hot air ballooning over the canyon is well worth the time and money. New River Gorge in West Virginia The New River Gorge in West Virginia is known as much for its bridge and the crazy people who jump off of it as it is for the depths of beauty as the New River carves the deepest and longest canyon in the Appalachian Mountains. More than 50 miles of the river are protected as a National River, thus making for pristine hiking, rafting and fishing. But admittedly, as many people are in awe of the man-made wonders as they are the natural wonders. The New River Gorge Bridge, completed in 1977, is one of the highest bridges in the world at more than 875 feet above the river. Each October, the bridge is closed to vehicular traffic for a festival that includes base jumping from the bridge. With all of these beautiful canyons, the idea is to get out and explore, get up close and personal with the powerful rivers and the earths natural architecture. But do so with caution. Hiking, rafting, horseback riding, bridge jumping - these all come with some risk of bumps and bruises, occasionally a sprained or broken bone.

The 20 best places to visit in Egypt [ + best time to visit] The 20 best places to visit in Egypt in 2021 A massive list of the best things to do and places to visit in Egypt. Where to go, what to see, and when to visit all these ancient tourist attractions. Are you currently planning a trip? And are you wondering what are the best places to visit in Egypt? You are probably not alone. Egypt has gigantic monuments as old as 6,000 years and Cairo, with its 22 million inhabitants, certainly has to offer an abundance of unique points of interest and tourist attractions as well (check out my guide to the best tourist attractions in Cairo ). But there are very few comprehensive travel guides on the internet. That’s why I compiled a massive list of the best things to see in Egypt. This is not your standard list of pretty pictures of the pyramids. Instead, I made sure to ask all the local guides, guides who earn their livelihood by showing the great wonders of Egypt to international tourists, about their favorite landmarks in Egypt and ranked the various tourist attractions accordingly. Before your trip, you should also read my guide on what to wear in Egypt, as it’s not always as simple as you’d think it is!

Nikki Source: source Nikki The capital of historical Bariba, Nikki is also home to an ancient palace that still controls a large area including some of Nigeria. Nikki is relatively tourist free which makes it a great place to see Benin in all of its unspoiled glory. Again, the market here is well worth visiting as well as the town center which has interesting shops and places to eat. The main sight however is of course the Royal Palace and the museum of the Royal Palace which is ever improving and expanding. 13. Pehunco Source: Source Pehunco Pehunco is another great place to escape from the well trodden tourist track (if there is a well trodden track in Benin). The town of Pehunc is known for its jewelery so the markets here are extra special. Throughout the year ceremonies take place in Pehunco featuring the regional king’s horse. There are not many sights as such in Pehunco, it is just a normal Benin village and this is the main reason for visiting. A stop off in Pehunco is a great lesson and insight into the village life of the people of Benin. 14. Boukoumbe Source: ericlafforgue Boukoumbé, Benin Another town with an impressive market, Boukoumbe is located about 40km west of Natitingou.

Lets explore the best places to visit in Nigeria: 1. Calabar Source: flickr Calabar The gateway to the reserves of the Cross River (the state of which Calabar is the capital), and the further-flung rainforests of the Afi Mountains (home to gorillas, chimps, rare rockfowl and craggy peaks of stone), the town of Calabar is a well-honed tourist stop-off on the way through to Cameroon or the southern Nigerian coast. Before making a beeline for the amazing primate sanctuaries outside of the town though, be sure to linger a little and case out the darker past of the city at the Calabar Museum – Calabar was once one of the principle slave trading ports in West Africa. Also worth a look is the Duke Town chapel, which is considered one of the oldest Christian worshipping houses in Nigeria. 2. Lagos Source: flickr Lagos Frenetic and packed, Lagos is not only the largest city in Nigeria, but also the single largest on the entire African continent. Yep, nearly 18 million people call this one home, and boy does it show! Throbbing streets of beer bars and clubs pepper the districts of Ikeja and Victoria Island, where ex-pats and sailors and locals alike chat over frothy brews.

Cite this Article Climate of Obudu, Nigeria Travel Tips Amy Harris, Leaf Group Obudu, Nigeria, is located in the southeastern part of the country, near the border with Cameroon. It lies in a mountainous area just north of the Cross River National Park. This scenic part of Nigeria is a top tourist destination, as it is home to a mountain resort, cattle ranch and waterfall, drawing visitors seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life. And the mountains in the area reach up to 5,000 feet, providing a degree of relief from the searing heat found elsewhere in the country. Facts Positioned barely north of the equator, most of Nigeria experiences a tropical climate. Technically, Obudu's climate falls into the tropical monsoon category. This climate type includes year-round warm temperatures with relatively little seasonal variation and a high total annual precipitation. Also, such climates experience a pronounced wet season in the summer and a dry season in the winter. Summer Obudu's rainy season begins around June and extends through the month of September. During this time of year, moist air drifts northward from the Atlantic Ocean's Gulf of Guinea, bringing heavy downpours. The monsoon rains are steadiest in August, but July and September are also quite wet.

And I could tell in the room, he was just having a real fun time doing it, and that comes across in his performance.” Reeves relished Duke’s outrageous personality, but he was even more intrigued by the tragic backstory that showed a pulse beneath the plastic. When Bo Peep (Annie Potts) introduces Woody (Tom Hanks) to Duke in an underground speakeasy in an antique shop, the daredevil openly pines for what he once lived and lost: His French-Canadian kid, Rajon. “Every kid has their toy, and Duke let his kid down when he couldn’t do what the commercial said he could,” explains Reeves. “So he’s a wounded person! He’s needing to have some, I don’t know, catharsis. Some feeling. I wanted him to have a real sensitivity and a soft heart.… I also saw him as a character that has a really wide dramatic bandwidth in the sense of being so big. Kaboom! Kapow! Let’s go! But who can also then share his wounds and get real quiet. You have a kid? I had a kid. I let him down! Rajon! So it was really a lot to play with on the playground.” But when things get serious, Duke seriously delivers.

I was driving past the newish Georgetown Nike store on Thursday morning, when I noticed a large display honoring both the Hoyas and Duke basketball on the M Street windows. The Hoyas I get. But Duke? Unless my fan radar has gone the way of Alex Ovechkin’s reputation, Duke remains slightly less popular than stink bugs and Ginkgo trees in this town. If there were any question that the stamp of Dukedom is everlasting, Wednesday night’s Wizards game should have ended it. The Wizards were cruising to a win, with a late-game double-digit lead. The crowd was intimate, the result largely insignificant, the drama negligible. But then arose a mighty cry from near and wide: “J.J. Sucks! J.J. Sucks! J.J. Sucks!” This chant, perfectly audible on television, had nothing to do with the Milwaukee Bucks. It had everything to do with Duke. “And the fans here expressing their appreciation to J.J. Redick,” Steve Buckhantz observed. “That’s really something else,” Phil Chenier said with a jolly chuckle. The fourth-best free-throw shooter in the NBA missed his first attempt. Fans rejoiced. (Thanks to CSN Washington for the video. As first noted by the Nexus.)

The Ibibios and Efiks lived in the districts of Uyo, Opobo, Calabar, Enyong, Eket, Creek Town, Duke Town, Old Town and Ikot Ekpene. During pre-colonial and colonial rule, the Efiks controlled trading post up the Cross River to the Ports of Calabar. The other ethnic groups of the Niger Delta system include the Ijaw speaking people of Opobo, Bonny, Degema, Okrika, Buguma, Brass and Abonnema. The Ijaws had a marked chieftaincy tradition. Other groups within the region were the Annang of Ikot Ekpene, Yakurr, Bahumono, Oron, Ogoni and Ekoi. Economy Trade in palm produce was a dominant feature in the economy of Eastern Nigeria. Though not indigenous to the region, the palm tree provided fronds for roofing of houses in the villages, palm wine for drinking and palm kernels as source of foreign exchange income. After World War II, prices sought for palm produce skyrocked and by 1954, Palm produce generated an income of 54 million pounds. However, the prices stabilized by the middle of the 1950s. Employment in farming and agriculture was a significant source of income for many residents engaged in yam farming and fishery. In the 1960s, the government promoted rubber, cocoa and palm grove schemes to increase the output of cash crops.

The local government areas (LGAs) that are considered to be in the Island include Lagos Island, Eti-Osa. The major upscale island neighbourhoods within these LGAs include Ikoyi and Victoria Island. Three major bridges join the island to the mainland. They are the Carter Bridge, which starts from Iddo; the Eko Bridge (formerly called the Second Mainland Bridge); and the Third Mainland Bridge, which passes through densely populated mainland suburbs to the Lagos Lagoon. A fourth bridge, The Ikoyi link bridge, links Ikoyi and Lekki Phase 1, both of which are part of the Island.

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices That, if I then had waked after long sleep, Will make me sleep again; and then in dreaming, The clouds me thought would open, and show riches Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked I cried to dream again. Name Caliban, Stephano and Trinculo dancing There is a long history of enthusiastic speculation on the name's origin or derivation. One of the most prominent suggestions concerns Caliban being an anagram of the Spanish word caníbal ( Carib people ), the source of cannibal in English. The character may be seen as a satire on 'Noble cannibal' from Montaigne's Essays (A.30, 'Of Cannibals'). Also popular has been comparison to kaliban or cauliban in the Romani language, which mean black or with blackness. The first Romanichal had arrived in England a century before Shakespeare's time. Since 1889, it has been suggested that Shakespeare may have named Caliban after the Tunisian city Calibia (now called Kelibia) that is seen on maps of the Mediterranean dating to 1529.

Calabar High School Calabar High School is a prominent all-male secondary school in Kingston, Jamaica. It was established by the Jamaica Baptist Union in 1912 for the children of Baptist ministers and poor blacks, and was named after the former slave port Calabar, in present-day Nigeria. Today, it is considered one of the finest schools in the country. It has produced at least five Rhodes Scholars, and is respected for its outstanding performance in track and field. Section::::History. BULLET::::- Early beginnings In 1839, William Knibb, Thomas Burchell and James Phillippo, the three leading English Baptist missionaries working in Jamaica, worked to create a college to train native Baptist ministers. Out of this effort, Calabar Theological College was founded in 1843, sited in the village of Calabar, near Rio Bueno in Trelawny Parish. The Spanish named Calabar after a slave port in Nigeria of the same name. BULLET::::- High school established At the beginning of the 1900s, there were few high schools to educate the sons of the working class and the rising middle class. In September 1912, the Revs.

Calabar was the original home of the well-known all-male Calabar High School, which was moved to Red Hills Road in Saint Andrew in 1868. CANNON BALL GATE, in Saint Andrew, was apparently named after the Cannon Ball monument at the intersection of Arnold Road and South Camp Road. Arnold Road was constructed by 3rd West India Regiment in 1856. CANOE VALLEY, in Saint Elizabeth, got its name because, for many years, canoes were made from the trees there. CARDIFF HALL, in St. Ann, is derived from the capital of Cardiff, the capital of Wales. Cardiff Hall was one of the most desirable residences on the island. It was owned by John Balgrove who arrived in Jamaica in 1655. CARLISLE BAY, in Clarendon, was named for the Earl of Carlisle, a governor of Jamaica from 1678-1680. In 1694, it was the site of the first major battle following British occupation of Jamaica when Captain Du Casse of Santo Domingo attacked the island and was defeated. CARRICK FOYLE, in the Cockpit Country of Trelawny, (a.k.a. Carrickfoyle and Carrickfoyle Pen) was originally owned by Phillip O'Connor who came from Ireland (Carrick, Foyle and O'Connor are all Irish names). CATADUPA- in Saint James.

Calcaria Calcaria was a small town in the Roman province of Britannia. Today, it is known as Tadcaster, located in the English county of North Yorkshire. The Romans founded the settlement and named it 'Calcaria' from the Latin word for 'lime kilns', reflecting the importance of the area's Magnesian Limestone geology as a natural resource for quarrying. The nature of the settlement is uncertain. It is possible that it started as an Imperial staging post with a mansio because of its location at a river crossing on the road from Danum (Doncaster) to Eburacum (York). Just to the north-west is the Roman fort at Newton Kyme (possibly Praesidium) dating from the 4th century. Mileages on the Antonine Itinerary suggest that Calcaria may have lain well west of Tadcaster.

The Dutch had become familiar with the rivers and streams, the swamps and islets, along the coasts, but their knowledge of the interior was almost nil. As a merchant and smuggler, Calabar knew every turn in every inland road. In fact, he had a remarkable sense of the local topography. In April 1632, Calabar went to the Dutch authorities and expressed his willingness to help. He soon demonstrated that he was especially adept at planning and executing ambushes. The name of Calabar came to the attention of Albuquerque and the other Portuguese, and, because of his frequent successes, he developed a considerable reputation among them for his cleverness and his treachery. After a time, the Dutch decided to evacuate Olinda, burn it, and concentrated on Recife. Section::::External links. BULLET::::- Albuquerque, Matias De (1595–1647)

“I haven’t really started to accumulate a list or anything like that, but I’m just more intrigued than I’ve ever been.” The region Taylor oversees has long drawn computer users’ intrigue itself. The Wave, a rock formation in the Antelope Canyon, gained wider recognition as a Windows 7 wallpaper, and varying shots of Lake Powell, a vacation spot along the Arizona-Utah border, have graced Mac and Windows screens alike. Sussing out the precise impact of screen images on a location’s exposure and tourism is difficult. Asked about possible boosts from Mac computers’ featuring of the “Blue Pond” in Hokkaido, Japan, Kay Allen, deputy manager of Japan’s national tourism office in Los Angeles, called it “a little impossible to pinpoint.” But at least one travel destination attests to an observable bump. The use of an image of the Moraca Canyon for Windows 10 was “huge marketing for Montenegro as a tourist destination,” said Nina Vukčević, of the Balkan country’s national tourism organization. At least one famous tourist appears to have visited as a result: Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, Vukčević said, came last year. He went zip-lining. Sometimes a destination’s screen status can even provide useful landmarks for other tourism spots nearby.

A Philippine Tourism Commission was created under the unified Trade and Tourism Department to oversee the growth of the tourism industry as a source of economic benefit for the country. In 1973, President Ferdinand Marcos created a new cabinet-level Department of Tourism (DOT) by splitting the Department of Trade and Tourism into two separate departments. Included in the new Department of Tourism, the agency Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA) and the Philippine Convention Bureau (PCB) were created. The Department of Tourism was then renamed Ministry of Tourism as a result of the shift in the form of government pursuant to the enforcement of the 1973 Constitution.

Pirates Week, an annual 11-day November festival, was started in 1977 by Jim Bodden, then Minister of Tourism, to boost tourism during the country's tourism slow season. Other Grand Cayman tourist attractions include: the ironshore landscape of Hell; the marine theme park 'Cayman Turtle Centre: Island Wildlife Encounter', previously known as 'Boatswain's Beach'; the production of gourmet sea salt; and the Mastic Trail, a hiking trail through the forests in the centre of the island. The National Trust for the Cayman Islands provides guided tours weekly on the Mastic Trail and other locations. Another attraction to visit on Grand Cayman is the Observation Tower, located in Camana Bay. The Observation Tower is 75 feet tall and provides 360-degree views across Seven Mile Beach, George Town, the North Sound, and beyond. It is free to the public and climbing the tower has become a popular thing to do in the Cayman Islands. Points of interest include the East End Light (sometimes called Gorling Bluff Light), a lighthouse at the east end of Grand Cayman island. The lighthouse is the centrepiece of East End Lighthouse Park, managed by the National Trust for the Cayman Islands; the first navigational aid on the site was the first lighthouse in the Cayman Islands.

Jihad causes poverty and hunger. The jihad against vaccination There are ongoing campaigns against vaccination by Islamists and jihadists in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. The Taliban jihad against vaccination. The Nigeria jihad against vaccination. Islamic fundamentalism causes poverty and disease. It's not even just jihad. Islam in general is correlated with economic failure: Islam's Universal Economic Failure by Daniel Greenfield, July 31, 2012, lays out the numbers. Islamic economic failure is everywhere - in the Middle East, in Pakistan, in Africa, and among Muslims in the West. Why is of course the question. The answer must be certain attitudes encouraged by Islam which act against prosperity. The jihad against tourism Islamism and jihad kill tourism. Who wants to go on holiday in a sharia hellhole, where tourists get sexually harrassed, or arrested for the 'crime' of being raped? Much nicer to go to a country that makes foreigners safe and happy. And then there are direct jihad attacks on tourists. Islamism and jihad are not caused by poverty. They are a cause of poverty. Tourism is worth around $10 trillion a year. World Tourism rankings show who goes where. Attacks on tourists Luxor massacre of tourists, Egypt, 1997. 62 people killed. Bali bombing, Indonesia, 2002.

Worldwide tourism receipts are projected to grow by anything from 3 percent to 6 percent annually for the next ten years; the industry is estimated to be worth over US$3 trillion in 1996. The overall benefit of tourism is that most of the steps which a developing country needs to take in order to improve its standard of living are exactly those which are required to develop tourism within a country. Some of the benefits of tourism are: 1) a larger tax base for national development 2) the generation of foreign exchange 3) the provision of national employment 4) the promotion of rural and interior development 5) human resources development Tourism is not simply an attempt to save the environment; it is also an important opportunity for Guyana's economic development. Properly managed, it is a non-depleting, non-consumptive industry that provides ever-increasing economic benefits in a sustainable manner. [ Back to Top] II. Policies of the Sector There is little evidence to suggest that a tourism policy existed prior to the 1990s, either implicitly or explicitly. Several factors may have been responsible for this. First, the Government may have felt that Guyana does not possess what it takes to be a tourist destination. Second, the apprehension that impacts associated with tourism would exacerbate social problems discouraged the development of tourism.

In this post, we take a look at a brief profile of the top 10 industries in the country in no particular order. Banking Banking can be traced to the colonial era when banks where established by Colonial masters to serve the needs of the Colonial Government at that time. Shortly before the country gained independent in July 1959, the Central Bank of Nigeria began operations in the country. Generally, the banking industry in Nigeria is responsible for holding the financial assets of individuals and businesses. The banks are also involved in investing these assets to generate more revenue. Although, the banking industry isn’t exactly responsible for the economic development of the country, it plays an effective and important role. The industry is particularly known for facilitating financial transaction which helps to promote international and local trade. Agriculture Once upon a time, agriculture in Nigeria was so vibrant that the revenue from this industry was used to sponsor free education. Between the 1950s and 1970s, cocoa was a major foreign exchange earner for the country and the profit from cocoa was used to fund free education in Western Nigeria. Unfortunately, the focus on crude oil led to the gross under-utilization of the agro-industry.

There is also the medical device or equipment industry and medical laboratory services which are rapidly growing industry within the healthcare sector. Private and Government hospitals also play a very important role in the healthcare industry ICT (Information and Communications Technology) Without the ICT industry, the use of mobile phones and computers will be impossible. This industry has produced telecommunications companies like MTN, Globacom, Airtel and Etisalat. These companies also play an important role in the availability of data needed to surf the internet and connect with the world at large. These days, a little as a few minutes break down in internet services can lead to the loss of money and suspension of important activities in the country. Oil and Gas The Oil and Gas Industry is practically what drives the economy of Nigeria as the country is currently the largest oil and gas industry in Africa. In 2000, 98% of the export earning was from oil and gas exports. Basically, this industry in the country is involved in the extraction, refinement, distribution and marketing of the oil and gas products and by-products. Also, some of the companies in this sector provide drilling equipment and construction services. The major private oil and gas companies in the country include Shell, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Agip, Total and Texaco.

See Article History Alternative Title: Old Calabar Calabar, formerly Old Calabar, town and port, capital of Cross River state, southeastern Nigeria. It lies along the Calabar River, 5 miles (8 km) upstream from that river’s entrance into the Cross River estuary. Settled in the early 17th century by the Efik branch of the Ibibio people, the town became a centre for trade between Europeans on the coast and Africans farther inland. Fish, cassava, bananas, palm oil, and palm kernels were traded at Calabar for European manufactured goods, and the town also served as a major slave-trading depot. Duke Town and the other Efik settlements near Calabar—Creek Town, Henshaw Town, and Obutong (Old Town)—were forcibly united into the loosely knit state of Old Calabar by the Ekpe secret society, which was controlled by the towns’ merchant houses.

Nigerian Women: Interesting Facts That Distinguish Women From Nigeria Interesting Facts That Make Nigerian Women Different From All Others Last Updated May 25, 2018 By chika Udeh Travel & History There are men who think all women are the same. They believe they know women and everything that comes along with them. Well, these guys might have a change of thought when they meet a typical Nigerian woman. Women they say, are mysterious beings because they are hard to study, understand and predict. In addition to that, there are so many things that Nigerian women do that men and other women outside Nigeria have no clue about. Let’s just say that’s what makes them one of the most ingenious creatures God ever created on this planet. Care to know what makes the Nigerian woman unique? Let’s go over some of the facts… 1. Nigerian Women are Tactical in Thinking A typical Nigerian Woman knows how to make things simple for herself. It is a popular sentiment that women don’t work hard as men do, but that may be because they get it right the first time. A typical Nigerian woman knows how best to play herself out of difficult situations. I believe Nigerian men will tell the story better. She knows how best to swindle and control any man she desires.

What is food? What is food? Everyone knows that. You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t. For me, it’s very simple: food is fish. I just love fish (especially eating them!). I wonder what your favourite food is? Let me guess… hamburgers? Ice cream? Candy bars? Well that’s probably more likely than raw carrots or garlic. So anyway, what exactly is food? Let’s look at what it’s made of. Food (which really includes many types of drinks too — like milk shakes and cola — but not water) is made up of nutrients. These are the things which give you energy or help build up your body as you grow. Maybe you already know what the most important Big Three nutrients are: proteins which you find in meat, fish, beans and stuff carbohydrates — sugar is one and you find others in bread, cereals and vegetables fat — I guess you know what that is. You find it in fried foods, cheese, butter, margarine and oils Almost all the food you eat has some of the Big Three in it.

The key ingredients to Nigerian food, according to chef Tunde Wey, are 'A lot of wit, a lot of jokes.' The Detroit-area chef will be bringing those -- as well as jollof rice, egusi, isi ewu, abacha, and other dishes from his Nigerian heritage -- to dinner at Mess Hall on Saturday and Toki Underground on Sunday. Wey, who moved to the U.S. when he was 16, co-owns Revolver, a pop-up dining venue in Detroit. He's on a tour of eight U.S. cities; he's calling the dinner series Lagos, after the largest city in Nigeria. Wey has been cooking huge family-style meals of traditional Nigerian dishes, utilizing ingredients such as goat heads and stewed cow feet. He wants to introduce Nigerian cooking to Americans in a way that doesn't 'peddle tired stereotypes or gimmicks; none of that 'coming-to-America-mud-cloth-and-zebra-print-wearing-spear-chucking-natives-in-ceremonial-masks' going on here,' he wrote on the supper club's site.

Washington’s African restaurant scene has long been dominated by platters of spongy injera bread, sauteed beef tibs and stewed greens — Ethiopian and Eritrean dishes that have become almost as much of a regional staple as the chili-soaked half-smoke. But on the other side of the continent, in Senegal, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Nigeria, is a wholly different style of cooking. In place of injera is doughy fufu, torn and dipped in bowls of okra or cassava-leaf stew. Stewed goat or whole fish is served atop beds of rice cooked with onion and tomato. The soup of the day is hot pepper, and the pepper, always, is Scotch bonnet. The Washington area is home to several West African gems, mostly hidden — in some cases across the street from Ethiopian competitors. Unlike many of those East African restaurants, though, these no-frills diners and takeout joints have no lines or wait times — at least, not yet. So sit down for a rich, hearty meal, often served by the owners themselves, who are ready to share suggestions for dishes you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.
