Who Is Mary? - GODWIN DELALIE ADADZIE

Image
Who is Mary? Mary was a Jewish girl, born of a human mother and a human father, but chosen by God to be the earthly mother of the “Son of God”. In Islam the Virgin Mary (“Maryam” in Arabic) is the mother of Jesus (Arabic Isa) who is considered one of the most important prophets of Islam. According to the Qur’an, Isa was born miraculously without a human biological father by the will of Allah (God). Why is she “so special”? The creature God chose to become the mother of His Divine Son would have to be “special”; in fact she would have to be “the most perfect” of all of God’s creations, even more perfect than the Angels in Heaven. What does the Bible say about Mary’s “being special”? In all the Holy Scripture, she alone is honored by the statement “all generations shall call me blessed” (Luke 1:48).

Dispensation Of Power In Family Life

Image
This is not an original write-up, it is a discussion based on an article though i know not the writer of the article. The family is made up of Father,Mother and Children and over time the balance of power shifts with the changing dynamics of the family. There are basically three(3) dispensations of power within the family and this is shared among the three arms of the family thus: FIRST DISPENSATION: At the inception of the family, power belongs with the father. This is because he is often the bread winner of the family, the provider and the ultimate decision maker. He is the one everyone goes to for anything. During this dispensation of power, the children tend to fear the father and do everything he says without question. This dispensation holds until the children reach teen age then the dispensation of power shifts to the mother. SECOND DISPENSATION: Once the children hit teen age,rebellion tends to set in.

THE POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND

Image
The saying that "The Police is your friend" is really relative. Let us critically examine the statement and check it in context to ascertain its correctness. You always find them on the road for security reasons - securely collecting taxes from motorists and whatnot. The other day, a few steps away from their 'checkpoint', a conductor and a passenger get into an altercation that rapidly degenerates into a fight causing traffic but 'Our Friends' did not care, they were too busy taxing other motorists to be bothered... But this is not the main story i would like to address,here's the main incident that in my mind challenged the sanity and sanctity of the Nigerian Police force. Wipe out your debt.

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you. We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people. Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come. We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done. Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition.

Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American...
