Imara Joyce a seasoned Weather Forecaster cum Gospel artiste is here with another inspiring, annointed and power packed single titled “Grateful”.
This song is set to awaken in us the spirit of thanksgiving and gratitude to God for all he has done.
‘In a dwindling and receding economy, it is easy to loose touch of what God has done and is still doing in our lives as individuals. Is it the air we breathe for free or the preservation and the seemingly “little” provisions and breakthroughs we ignore? Just name it! It’s high time we raised our voices and say “Father we are so very grateful” because gratitude is a precursor to greater miracles.’

Wenqing Sun, a Chinese businessman, haven converted from Buddhism to Christianity some years ago, is reportedly set to build a massive life-sized replica of Noah’s Ark in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, believed to cost around $1.2 million.
Marc L’Hoir, who manages Sunset Cemetery in the city, revealed that businessman Wenqing Sun has already built such a life-sized Bible theme park in the city of Shenyang in northern China, and is looking to spread the Gospel message around the world.
“He actually converted from Buddhism to Christianity and this is just part of his spreading the word of Christianity throughout the world,” L’Hoir said, according to CBC News.
The cemetery south of Moose Jaw has already been approved as the site where the new theme park will be built, with L’Hoir sharing that the “one-of-a-kind tourist attraction” will bring people from across the world for a visit.
“You know how many people go to Vatican City? How many people go to Jerusalem to the Wailing Wall? So once the word gets out and we start marketing it, I think it’ll be a real tourist attraction for Moose Jaw,” he added. “Plus it’s going to enhance the cemetery,” L’Hoir said. “Hopefully people want to be buried there.”
Mike Wirges, who is the Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw administrator, noted that the theme park, which will feature an Ark 136 meters long, 23 meters wide and 13 meters high, will not be a theme park in the conventional sense.
“It’s not by any means anything you would attribute to a theme park, like rollercoasters or anything like that. It’s just a passive park that people would essentially walk through,” he said.
National Post reported that the biblical project will take over four years to be completed and will cost about $1.2 million. Workers from China are expected to be brought in for the construction.
Also, “The Ark Encounter,” led by Creation Museum CEO and President Ken Ham, opened up to much media attention on July 7 in Kentucky. It was a bigger project than the previous. A crowd of 7,000 witnessed the official ribbon cutting ceremony.

“Now there was a famine in the land… Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.” – Genesis 26:1&12
Bad financial news is everywhere! With bank and corporate failures, stock market losses and a depressed housing market, rising unemployment and inflation, money problems burden more and more of us.
Yet note this biblical truth: The God of the Bible wants everyone to truly prosper in the area of personal finances!
Jesus Christ said one of the main purposes for His being sent to Earth was that we “might have life” and that we “might have it MORE ABUNDANTLY” (John 10:10). The Apostle John concurred: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in health …” (3 John 2).
Prosperity is not a sin. It is a blessing. God is the greatest giver of abundance and prosperity. It is His will that we prosper and enjoy the “good things” in life.
Anciently, God made Job the richest man in the East. Once Job repented of his sin, God gave him double his original wealth (Job 42:10). God prospered Joseph abundantly (Genesis 39:2-3). God promised the Israelites great material wealth if they obeyed Him (Leviticus 26:3-5). “[I]t is [God] that giveth thee power to get wealth,” Moses reminded them (Deuteronomy 8:18). “Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth,” noted Solomon, another exceedingly wealthy ruler, “and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God” (Ecclesiastes 5:19).
If God wants everyone to prosper and live abundantly, then why are so many wracked by debt and weighed down with financial worries?
There are reasons!
If we are coveting goods we cannot afford, then we will be far likelier to overspend and go into debt. If we are putting material goods before God, then God, in order to correct this, may curse us by withholding the prosperity He would much rather give us!
Do you realize that God, the Creator of all things including the air you breathe, claims ownership of all that exists? Understanding this important biblical principle is in fact the first key to financial success!
In Exodus 19:5, God Almighty says: “[A]ll the earth is mine.” Through Moses’s inspired pen, we read, “Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s thy God, the earth also, with ALL THAT THEREIN IS” (Deuteronomy 10:14). “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. … [T]he world is mine, and the fulness thereof,” claims our Maker (Psalm 50:10, 12).
According to the Bible, “your” money—“your” income—rightfully belongs to God. “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts” (Haggai 2:8).
This principle is important to remember when considering how we ought to manage our finances. What we may earn in wages or receive as a return on investments is not really ours—that is, not until two prior claims on our income are satisfied.
One claim is taxes. Jesus said that Christians should “Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s …” (Matthew 22:21). But the first claim is GOD’S claim. Christ concluded that verse, “AND [PAY] UNTO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD’S.”
With this statement, Christ pointed to a fundamental financial LAW that we must keep if God is to be able to bless us with the prosperity He promises—that is, the law of TITHING.
God’s law, confirmed throughout the Bible, is that the first tenth, or “tithe,” of every individual’s income be paid to Him via His chosen servants.
God is a God of love (1 John 4:8, 16). He knows your needs and wants. He has your well-being in mind. He is concerned for you; that is why He has made this law regulating your income.
God’s law concerning what you earn is, in fact, a DEAL He has made with you. Consider it: God allows you to work on His Earth, to use its resources, its forces and energies—to use what others have extracted from this planet, in manufacturing, distributing, selling, buying, investing. Whatever your occupation or profession, you are actually working inpartnership with God!
When we stop and analyze this, we must admit that God surely supplies about 90 percent of everything we produce—and our own thinking, planning and working supplies, at best, perhaps 10 percent. Yet God doesn’t claim 90 percent of the proceeds, or the income. He doesn’t claim 50 percent, or even 30 percent or 20 percent.
God is exceptionally generous. He has reserved for His use only 10 percent of your income. And after you have been honest in paying God’s claim—HIS 10 percent—to His chosen representative (by the way, it is very important to prove where God’s work is, and tithe to the correct church), only then does God declare that the other 90 percent becomes legally yours. Our nine-tenths actually does not belong to us until we have paid God His tenth. That is God’s law!

Lil Wayne Considered Christian Hip Hop
Hip Hop artiste Lil Wayne served an 8 month prison sentence in 2010 and in his new book released on the 11th of October 2016 titled ’Til November: A Journal of Rikers Island’, the rapper admitted that he considered becoming a Christian Hip Hop artiste during the period.
The rapper, in his book, according to USA Today, said he had to face his demons while in prison and one of the things he learnt was the fact that his inspiration does not stem from women, drugs nor cars. Perhaps, the self-reliance spurred from falling back on his faith because in time past, the rapper had made reference to his believe in God and he also mentioned reading the bible while in prison.
While in prison, Wayne was first tasked with helping with suicide prevention. His job was to let the C.O.’s know if someone was a danger to themselves or in the process of committing suicide. In his book, the emcee writes about receiving a letter from a church that urged him to use his platform and art to preach the good news.
“I would truly have the power of having pop culture turn to God,” he wrote in the book. “I would have straight killers in church every Sunday.”
He admits that he considered it, but an “epiphany” convinced him that where he was currently was part of the journey.
