BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY

Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the field produce no food though there are no sheep in the sheepfold and no cattle in the stalls yet I will rejoice in the Lord I will be joyful in God my saviour

WHAT FOUNDATION ARE YOU STANDING ON?

   A house is built on a foundation , while building if a spanner is dropped and a house is built the spanner is forgotten reminding me of a pastor that never had congregration some days there were many people , following week very few people until a day armed robbers came visiting and when asked for money he didnt have and the armed robber advised him to look for another job , this made him very angry and went back to God in prayer.

God showed him that the promblem was in the foundation of the building all he needed to do was destroy the building to the foundation which he obeyed to his amazement there was a live tortoise in the foundation the next week the rented canopies chairs was not enough implying that the foundation of your life can either make or mar your destiny but I dont have any problem so why should i be bothered if my life is based on a solid foundation.

Jesus Christ is a solid rock that cannot be shaken broken or destroyed and those that are standing on this rock dont move even when there is calamities around them it doesnt affect them financially they are very comfortable and often wonder why they seem to be peaceable all this can be based on the fact that the foundation of their lives is the rock that can never be shaken

When an individual foundation is on sand it is tossed and swept with all the troubles of life though might have all the things of life but there might be lack of peace, discontentment, depravity mind , hopelessness because they are usually moved by things round them a loved one that is on life supporting machine seem hopeless because of the foundation .

Many people will go to bed tonight and not wake up , some will start the day and would be gone by nighttime based on the fact that life is uncertain but your foundation will determine your certainity in life . REBUILD YOUR FOUNDATION TODAY 

Solar plane aims for Chinese coast

The fuel-free aeroplane Solar Impulse has taken off from Chongqing in western-central China, and is heading for Nanjing in the east.

It is the sixth stint in a bid to fly around the world that began in Abu Dhabi, UAE on 9 March.
Solar Impulse was only supposed to stay a few hours in Chongqing after arriving from Myanmar (Burma), but poor weather grounded the plane for three weeks.
The team is now confident conditions will remain fair for the Nanjing leg.
Getting to the east of the country would set up the project for its greatest challenge yet - a five-day, five-night crossing to Hawaii.
The latest leg saw Solar Impulse leave the runway at Chongqing International Airport at just after 06:00 local time, Tuesday (22:00 GMT, Monday). Project chairman, Bertrand Piccard, is again at the controls of the single-seater aircraft.
He is taking it in turns with CEO Andre Borschberg. But as the engineer in the partnership, Borschberg wants to do the Hawaii leg, so Piccard has elected to do both Chinese stages. He brought the plane in from Mandalay, Myanmar, to Chongqing, and is now flying the 1,200km to Nanjing as well. It should take him about 17 hours.Once in Nanjing, the team will stay put for at least 10 days, carefully checking over the aircraft and running through a training programme ahead of the first Pacific leg.
"I think 10 days is the time we need to get ready. Then we need to wait for a good weather window," explained mission director Raymond Clerc.
"That could be three days; we could have to wait three weeks - because this leg is really the most important and is very complex. To go towards Hawaii could last five days and five nights."
Nanjing is about 200km from the coast, very close to Shanghai. The first Pacific leg would cover a distance of more than 8,000km

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

There is no need for preaching the signs are here to tell anyone that has ears to listen that we live in the end times very soon the trumpet will soon sound brings me to the question and reassessment of my life every moment preparing to be amongst the five wise virgins

Israel Turns to Asian Markets, Despite US Objections

ERUSALEM, Israel --  It seems the many challenges facing the Jewish state fuel its determination to press ahead in today's marketplace, laying the groundwork for future generations.

While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sought a two-week extension to wrap up talks with potential coalition partners, the current government continues to take care of business.

Netanyahu, who also serves as finance minister, recently applied for Israeli membership in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), led by China. Analysts say the decision is evidence of Israel's understanding of Asia's rising place in global markets and the importance of improving relations with Asian countries.

The Obama administration is reportedly unhappy with the decision because it views the AIIB as a threat to the World Bank, according to a position paper by the Begin-Sadat Center (BESA).

"The new bank is viewed by many as an important indicator of the changing economic and global balance of power, appearing as a threat to the World Bank," the paper states.

But joining AIIB is just one example of the Jewish state's ingenuity in today's marketplace.

Annual Innovation Report

Israeli Chief Scientist Avi Hasson released the first annual innovation report, more evidence of the stuff it takes to keep the economy moving forward.

"Our challenge in the coming years will be to remain at the forefront of global technology while implementing innovative measures in all aspects of the market and the economy," Hasson said. He listed four ways to help Israel meet these challenges:

• Creating new sources of funding for industry
• Turning more hi-tech companies into major companies
• Implementing and developing technologies in traditional industries and in the public sector
• Smarter and more efficient government involvement

Cultural Tourism   

Meanwhile, the tourism sector, one of Israel's most important, continues to flourish.

Last year saw record numbers of tourists and 2015 is off to a very good start.

Israeli Tourism Minister Dr. Uzi Landau released a statement last week on a Polish Tourism Ministry conference that took place at Jerusalem's Dan Panorama Hotel. Some 170 senior representatives of Poland's tourism industry came for the conference.

Landau says Israel is an increasingly favorite destination for cultural tourism, as well as religious pilgrimages, so it's important to present new and attractive destinations to potential visitors.

"Poland is one of the fastest emerging markets in Central Europe and, with the increase in the local standard of living, it is important to present Poland is one of the fastest emerging markets in Central Europe and, with the increase in the local standard of living, it is important to present Israel as a quality and attractive holiday destination to the potential Polish tourist," Landau said.

There are many examples of Israeli innovation -- in medical breakthroughs, hi-tech, agriculture, solar energy, startups and venture capital. All of it contributes to its forward-moving economy.

It seems neither boycotts, divestment, sanctions, criticism or threats from Islamists are succeeding in bringing down the Jewish state. In fact, those very obstacles are fueling Israeli determination to succeed.

In an increasingly competitive global marketplace, Israelis recognize that hard work pays off.

Explosion at Spanish embassy in Libyan capital – residents

What's behind xenophobic attacks in South Africa?

Shops looted and set ablaze. Terrified foreigners hiding in police stations and stadiums. Machete-wielding attackers hacking immigrants to death in major cities in South Africa.

As attacks against foreigners and their businesses rage on, killing at least six people this week, other nations in the continent are scrambling to evacuate their citizens from South Africa. But this is not the first time xenophobic violence has exploded in a country that tries to portray itself as a diverse "rainbow" nation.

What triggered this week's attacks?They started after Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini said at a recent gathering that foreigners "should pack their bags and go" because they are taking jobs from citizens, local media reported.

But this isnt about a comment about the king there is a demonic spirit attached to every attack what mind would make another person take a knife and stab another person thereafter feel remorse after the attack I couldnt watch the attack on the Mozambique  man that was attacked my heart is too soft to watch it. The earlier people stop the habit of finding out history of xenophobic attack and focus on how we all should reconcile with God and plead for mercy the better for us as individuals and a nation as a whole
