If You're In A Wrong Place, It's Impossible To Fulfil Destiny - Lawrence BornRoyal

BETHSIADA happened to be a place where people's miracles were swallowed up. Your own bethsaida is a place where God saves you from many dangers but you did not yield yourself to him. Where God healed you but you did not draw back to him. "Today, get out of that town where people sees you as a tree but not as a human being. You have spent many decades in a particular place and nothing changes about your life, for that reason you gave up on your dreams and living your life like mannequin. Get up and leave now. Progress they say, is impossible without change, that your comfort zone can ruin destiny. It had ruined many destinies, it was the same place where those who fought before you fell and never stood up. walk out where you're being tied down like goat and convey your cross of emancipation today. Never underestimate what the Lord can perform through your life. Be a kind of person that leaves people in shock about your progress. You have to keep running until you get to tha...

U.S., Britain Shot Down Houthi Attack In Red Sea

U.S. and British warships intercepted 21 drones and missiles fired on Tuesday from areas of Yemen controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia, officials said.  The U.S. and its allies are now weighing how to shut down other attacks against commercial ships in the Red Sea. The Houthi attacks, in solidarity with Hamas in its war against Israel, have forced the world’s largest shipping companies to reroute vessels away from the Red Sea, creating delays and extra costs felt worldwide through higher prices for oil and other imported goods. The Biden administration and a number of allies said last week that they would hold the Houthis responsible for the attacks, a warning that suggested the government may be considering retaliatory strikes on Houthi territory in Yemen, military officials said.  Rather than back off, the Houthis appear to have stepped up their attacks. So far, the U.S. has held back from hitting Houthi bases in Yemen, in large part to avoid undermining a fragile...

Federal judges cast doubt on Trump’s claim of immunity

 Former President Of the United States of America, Donald Trump appeared At a hearing in Washington yesterday in front of an appeals court panel to argue that he is immune from prosecution on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election because they arose from actions he took as president.  The three judges on the panel seemed unconvinced, suggesting that they are unlikely to rule in the former president’s favor. “I think it’s paradoxical to say that his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed allows him to violate the criminal law,” said Judge Karen Henderson, the sole Republican appointee. The panel appeared particularly wary when Trump’s lawyer said during the hearing that a president could assassinate a political rival and still be shielded from prosecution unless the Senate first convicted him at an impeachment proceeding. However, the judges looked torn at times about how broadly they might rule; one suggested that a decision to deny im...
