Photos : See what happened to the bird that Turned into a woman & Landed in a Gutter in Lagos

Earlier on today, around 9am, this woman pictured above, who allegedly confessed to being a witch, was rescued from a gutter she was trapped in around Abalti Barracks, Ojuelegba in Surulere, Lagos.

According to reports, a passerby had noticed someone stretching out her hand from a very small hole in a 6ft deep gutter just in front of the Army Barracks and calling out for help. The passerby quickly ran into the Army barracks to get help.

Within minutes, a crowd gathered with people saying all sort of things about the lady inside the gutter and how she got trapped in it. Some said she’s a witch, that she went for her meeting transformed as a
bird. Only to end up in the covered gutter after she fell uncontrollably as a bird from the sky. That it was inside the drainage she now transformed back into her human form. Some others said she was on her way from Oshogbo and got sucked in the gutter, and so on.

When the woman was asked questions like ‘What are you doing inside the gutter?’ she replied, weeping ”Please I need water, help me”.

A senior officer of the Nigerian Army reportedly asked the soldiers to get her out, a welder around the environment was called in and she was finally brought out by a good Samaritan who entered the gutter to help her out.
She was brought out naked, covered up and then she said:

My name is Amudat Jimoh, It was God that sent me here, He (GOD) said I should confess my sins so that I don’t die, please I need water to drink, help me, I don’t know how I found myself here, please help me..

A Lagos State ambulance arrived and she was taken to away for proper medical attention…

Christian Nurse Fired for Praying With Patients, Talking About Jesus at Hospital in England

A Christian nurse has been fired by England's National Health Service after several patients allegedly complained that she spoke about Jesus Christ with them, though the nurse insists she simply offered to pray with patients and comforted those who voluntarily spoke about religion.

The MailOnline reports that Sister Sarah Kuteh, who has over 15 years of experience, mostly in intensive care, was fired by the Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust after several complaints came in that she discussed religion with parents.

 Kuteh, who is now suing for unfair dismissal from her job at Darent Valley hospital in Dartford, Kent, asked: "How could telling anyone about Jesus Christ really be harmful to any patient?"

The nurse added that she was required to complete a questionnaire with patients as part of her job, with one of the questions specifically asking about religion.

She continued: "Most of (the patients) have had life changing, some of them have told me devastating diagnosis.

"I am very passionate about nursing — it gives me an opportunity to step into the patents' shoes and encourage them and empower them and make them realize things aren't as bad as it might seem."

Kuteh explained that sometimes she talked about the peace she has found in Jesus Christ with patients who were "feeling really, really devastated" about their conditions, and would offer to pray with them before operations.

"I reassure them on the basis of the joy and peace I have found in the Lord," she said.

NHS insisted that several patients complained that the nurse was "preaching" to them, however, and that she continued doing so even after she was asked to stop.

A spokesman for Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust said a statement: "We have a duty to our patients to ensure that when they are at their most vulnerable, they are not exposed to the unsolicited beliefs and/or views of others, religious or otherwise.

The spokesman added: "Following several complaints from patients and a warning which did not result in any change in behaviour, we feel we have acted appropriately in the management of this case."

The nurse claimed that the only religious discussions she had was with patients who voluntarily asked for it, however.

"This has exposed me to financial poverty and possible homelessness," Kuteh said about losing her job.

A recently released report on the way anti-discrimination laws are being used as "weapons" against Christians in U.K. court cases was released last week, arguing that laws such as the Equality Act 2010 have led to an erosion of religious liberties.

James Orr, a McDonald post-doctoral fellow in theology, ethics and public life at Christ Church, University of Oxford, who authored the report, told The Christian Post last week that Christians are being forced to go to court to defend their religious freedom on an increasing basis, which threatens the freedoms for all in society.

"The problem is that the cultural wars are being driven into the court rooms," Orr told CP, noting that "courts are being turned into battlefields between minority groups who should [instead] be debating in society."

The report proposes a new British Bill of Rights, which asks employers and regulators "to demonstrate reasonable accommodation toward those who wish to express their religious convictions in the public sphere."

troubled pastor facing divorce from his estranged wife, snapped and killed his beloved 27-year-old daughter then himself a day after he was released from a 90-day stint in rehab for alcoholism.

According to the Portland Press Herald, Police found the pastor's daughter, Claire Randall, 27, dead in the bathroom of the family home in Hebron, Maine, with multiple gunshot wounds. The body of the pastor, Daniel Randall, 56, was found on the porch, with an apparent self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. Police are calling it a murder-suicide and the state medical examiner confirmed last Friday that the gunshot wounds were the cause of death for both Claire and Daniel Randall.

Daniel Randall had served as a pastor at the First Congregational Church in Bristol, Rhode Island, for 12 years before resigning in December 2014.

"My family; Anita, Molly, Claire and Gabe have shared a wonderful spiritual journey with you for 12 years. You are dear to us all. You are a community of faith that has been on a remarkable and historic path in the last 12 years along with me. This is why my decision is so challenging at this time, but also is flavored with a hopeful and peaceful feeling," Daniel Randall wrote in a letter announcing his resignation to the congregation.

The Maine State Police said Claire, who was shot and killed in the bathroom of the family home by her father, died from multiple shotgun wounds.

Her father, police say, had completed a 90-day program at the Liberty Bay Recovery Center in Portland on Tuesday and left the center at 10 a.m. last Thursday. Daniel Randall then bought a shotgun, drove to his home and killed his daughter just before 2 p.m.

Before shooting himself, police say Daniel Randall sprayed painted messages to his family on the walls in five rooms of the house before he shot himself.

Carroll Daggett, 71, told the Portland Herald Press that Daniel Randall's estranged wife, Anita, had called him on Thursday and asked him to check on her daughter because she wasn't answering her cell phone. When he got to the house, he initially thought the crime scene was a gruesome Halloween set-up but when he saw the words "VOW BREAKER," spray painted on the kitchen counter and messages on other walls, he knew something was wrong. When he saw Daniel's body on the porch, he called police and then called Anita and told her she needed to come home.

Zachariah Smith, a former parishioner of Daniel's from his days at First Congregational Church, said the murder-suicide did not reflect the man he knew.

"I'm filled with incredible sadness as I got home from my morning routine. Steph came through the door early, didn't look to happy. My former pastor and dear dear friend, for some awful and unknown reason, took his own life today. What's worse is he took his daughter's life as well.

"This was a wonderful man who helped so many people, but somehow failed to help himself. We need to be vigilant around the people we love, especially during tough times like the holidays. I love you and will miss you Dan Randall, may the Lord have mercy on your soul. I will be praying for Anita, Molly and Gabe Randall and I ask you all to do the same," Smith wrote on Facebook.

"I can only imagine the anguish and self-loathing he was going through to make such a rash decision," wrote Smith in another post. "That was not the man I knew and loved. He became sick, and a whole bunch of us missed it. Please, please pray for the Randalls and for the community of the First Congregational Church of Bristol RI. Please to the faithful, add the Randall's to every prayer chain possible."

The Washington Post said Claire Randall lived in New York but was staying with her family in Maine for a few weeks. She also was a vocalist for a band called Trot Fox and an education and training manager for Patron Technology, a software company.

Michelle Paul, her manager at Patron Technology, told the Post that Claire Randall's job was to train newly hired employees. She said many will remember her for enthusiasm for her work — and for her ability to look good in anything, even a "bacon-patterned fabric."

"In the last couple of years, her hair was variously pink, blue and lavender," Paul said, "and that, too, somehow seemed totally natural and complete professional on Claire."

Jessica Tella who remembered happier times with the Randall family in Rhode Island, said she learnt a lot from Claire.

"When I first moved to Bristol, I didn't know many people except for my neighbors who were so kind and inviting to my family. One of those neighbors' being the Randall family. Many of my times after school, and weekend days, were spent at the Randall home playing with Gabe and occasionally Claire and Molly as well. Claire was so vibrant, so happy, an overall joy to be around. She lit up the entire room and always reminded you to find something to be happy about. I'll never forget her telling me about her goals and dreams of working with fashion and music and all things artsy and how 'she was gonna do it all because she could!'" Tella wrote.

"And that inspired me still this day to believe in myself, because I can. As we grew older it turned into the friendly wave driving by each other, but knowing the friendship would forever be there. Please remember to cherish every memory, and hug all your loved ones every chance you get. Sometimes the darkness overcomes even the best of people and tragedy strikes. God bless the Randall family and help them through such a tragic time, with angel Claire shining down on them with love," she added.

Ret. Navy Chaplain: Christians Joining The Military Should Be Careful

A retired Navy chaplain who came under fire for his faith believes the military is now a battleground against Christianity.
“The culture has shifted, policies have shifted, but scripture has not changed,” Modder told CBN News.
In 2015, Navy chaplain Wes Modder was released from his duties for expressing his support for biblical marriage.

Navy Chaplain: 'Best Thing for Church is Persecution'

Modder says his case is not the last time you will see Christianity openly under attack in the Armed Forces. In fact, he believes the problem is getting even worse.
"If you're a Christian and you come into the military today, it's going to be difficult for you," Modder said in an interview with OneNewsNow.
Before he lost his job, Moddler worked at the Nuclear Power Training Command in Charleston, South Carolina. But he was put on the chopping block after a lieutenant asked him about his personal views on gay marriage during a private conversation.

What started out as a private conversation turned into a public case against Modder.
"I came to find out later that he was a gay activist, and I was targeted," Modder told OneNewsNow. "And, of course, the chaplain I was working with at this Navy Nuclear Power Training Command in Charleston — she was a very liberal United Methodist command chaplain. She decided to escalate it, brought charges that I was intolerant and not able to function in a diverse pluralistic environment."
First Liberty, a legal group that fights for religious liberty, represented Modder in the case. When the investigation found that the Navy's case against him was weak, Modder was able to retire with his full 20 years of service, instead of being forced out.
“The Church stepped in and I thank god for that,” Modder said.
Modder believes his case is a cautionary tale and proof that Christians face new challenges in the military.

The First Country to Officially Defend Christians Persecuted by ISIS Hungary has drawn criticism for favoring Christian over Muslim refugees from Syria and Iraq.

The First Country to Officially Defend Christians Persecuted by ISIS Hungary has drawn criticism for favoring Christian over Muslim refugees from Syria and Iraq.

Hungary has drawn criticism for favoring Christian over Muslim refugees from Syria and Iraq.

 


 Hungary, which has during the past year come under pressure for its handling of Europe’s mass migration crisis, has become the first government to open an office specifically to address the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and Europe.



 
            “Today, Christianity has become the most persecuted religion, where out of five people killed [for] religious reasons, four of them are Christians,” Catholic News Agency (CNA) quoted Hungary’s Minister for Human Resources, Zoltan Balog, as saying. “In 81 countries around the world, Christians are persecuted, and 200 million Christians live in areas where they are discriminated against. Millions of Christian lives are threatened by followers of radical religious ideologies.”
 The move sets a precedent on the international stage. It comes after Hungary’s right-wing prime minister, Victor Orban, drew criticism in the EU by saying Europe should focus on helping Christians before helping millions of Muslims coming into Europe. “If we really want to help, we should help where the real problem is. … We should first help the Christian people before Islamic people,” Orban said. Orban’s government has campaigned against an EU plan to spread some of the burden of the influx of migrants and refugees by requiring member states to accept quotas. Orban has called for a referendum on October 2 at which voters are expected to back the government and reject any future quotas. He said that Europe is divided between an “EU elite” and those, like him, who want to hold on to Europe’s Christian roots. “The political war based on the topic of migration is a great opportunity for both parties,” Orban said. “[The elite] know that Muslims will never vote for a party with Christian roots, so with the huge volume of Muslims, the conservative parties will be crowded out of power. But this war is also a great opportunity for the supporters of the nation-states with Christian roots.” Many of the 1.5 million refugees who have fled to Germany since the country announced its “open door” policy in 2015 traveled through “the Balkan route,” though Hungary has now erected a fence on its southern borders with Serbia and Croatia.
Hungary’s new office will have a starting budget of $3.35 million with which to help persecuted Christians, to raise international awareness of their “untenable situation,” and to coordinate humanitarian efforts, Balog said. (Canada’s office had $5 million.) In Iraq, a Christian population estimated at more than a million before the 2003 war—and considerably more prior to that—today stands at less than 300,000.
Many displaced from Iraq’s Nineveh Plains after the 2014 ISIS offensive currently seek a permanent home in the West. In Syria, a similar situation has developed since the country’s civil war started five years ago. Other countries in the region have seen a hemorrhaging of indigenous Christianity with the resurgence of Islam as a political ideology since the last century. Iraq ranks second and Syria is fifth on Open Doors’ 2016 World Watch List, a list of 50 countries where Christians come under the most pressure. Almost 40 of the 50 countries are majority Muslim or have Islamist non-state actors (e.g. militias) at work.
The Hungarian government will spend the coming weeks working out the exact duties of the new department, though it will have a primarily humanitarian focus, said Eduard von Habsburg, the Hungarian ambassador to the Holy See. The decision to launch the new department came after Orban and Balog traveled to Rome in August to meet Pope Francis. Orban and Balog, respectively a Protestant layman and a Calvinist pastor, were the only non-Catholic members of the group whom Pope Francis received in a private audience in August. Von Habsburg said that government officials’ interactions with leading European churchmen and with the patriarchs of the Middle East contributed to the decision to form the agency.
 Part of the reason for going public with the initiative now is to set an example for other European nations. "Somehow the idea of defending Christians has acquired a bad taste in Europe, as if it means excluding other people," von Habsburg said. The Hungarian initiative is intended to show it doesn’t have to be that way, Catholic news sources reported. "Our interest not only lies in the Middle East but in forms of discrimination and persecution of Christians all over the world," Balog said. "It is therefore to be expected that we will keep a vigilant eye on the more subtle forms of persecutions within European borders."

Shocking confession by Musa Abdullah on Biafra, N'Delta

My name is Musa Abdullah from Kano state. I studied at Lagos state University and presently working with Kano University of Science and Technology, Wudil.

Due to my education, I have been enlightened as to the happenings in Nigeria. We in the North voted for Buhari because he is our brother.

We wanted power to return to the North. We knew he cannot fix anything in Nigeria. In our mosques, they always taught us to make sure we remove that infidel call Jonathan.

We were meant to hate Jonathan with our spirit, soul and body. Infact, Igbos living in the North were very very lucky. They escaped death by the whiskers through the victory of Baba.

Had Baba lost, my brothers where already on standby waiting for instructions to lynch any pig from the South.

I was personally in the situation room as things unfold. I felt for the Igbos then. I really pitied them. I knew that my brothers in the North had been brain washed but I dare not speak.

I sighed in relief when Baba was declared the winner and my brothers where told to relax, that they should go to the streets and celebrate.

That was how the bloodshed was averted to the glory of Allah. I knew something was really wrong with my brothers.

Kano gave Buhari the highest vote. It was massively rigged in his favour. That was why the INEC officer in charge of Kano was burnt alive with his family after the election to cover up the rigging. I wept for my people.

Now what are we seeing? Baba has abandoned us. My brothers in the North are dying every day of hunger. Prices of things are so high, we can't even eat three square meal a day.

My Northern Elders are not worried. They are only after power remaining in the North. Not only that, my concern now is what is about to come. They have already planned on how to deal with the Niger Deltans.

Of course you are aware that all the military personnel and weapons have been deployed in Niger Delta.

They are planning to use the Leaders of MEND to penetrate the creeks. Their only fear now is that IRAN and Russia are behind the Niger Delta Avengers.

They have also contacted Jonathan trying to make him sign an agreement that will further enslave the Niger Deltans but Jonathan refused. So Baba is very angry with Jona and will do everything possible to silence the Niger Delta Avengers.

As am typing now, Niger Delta has been rounded up militarily. Magnus Abe, Rotimi Amaechi, APC chairman and the leaders of MEND are in the master plan.

As for Biafrans, you people are very lucky. Buhari and my Northern Elders knew that Nnamdi Kanu has already created the awareness for you people.

So they are planning now to cut South South out of Biafra so that only the five Eastern states can go with their Biafra. Nnamdi Kanu will soon be released but they want to perfect the exclusion of South South from your Biafra.

*We know that one Nigeria is just because of Oil.* Wallahi, had it been we were the ones with the oil, Nigeria would have divided since.

Please let your brothers not protest again because Baba will kill again. Nnamdi Kanu's release is very soon but they are just making sure Niger Delta is cut off from your proposed Biafra.

You people should not think that there will be anything like 2019 election, Baba will use Biafra issue as an excuse to postpone the election.

South East has already been declared as Biafra, so don't expect any federal government project in your region. You have been written off already.

My advice is that you should continue to create awareness both nationally and internationally. Don't relent even though Biafra is very close.

You will get BIAFRA INSHA ALLAH
[9/14, 18:20] Pst Grace 3: As it stands today, the Islamic religion is the fastest
growing religion per capita in the United States, especially amongst the minority races!!

Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session, there was presentations by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim who each explained their beliefs.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic had to say. So, the Muslim gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.
When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Muslim and asked:

'Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the
infidels of the world and, that by killing an infidel, (which is a command to all Muslims) they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?'

There was no disagreement with my statements and, without hesitation,
he replied, 'Non-believers!'

I then responded. So, let me make sure I have this straight ie. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can have a place in heaven. Is that correct?'

The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. 'He sheepishly replied, 'Yes.'

I then stated, 'Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine the Pope can command all Catholics to kill those of your faith or in addition, Dr Stanley ordering all Protestants to do the same in order to guarantee them a place in heaven!'

The Muslim was speechless!

I continued, 'I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your
brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me!

Let me ask you a question:

Would you rather have your Allah, who tells you to kill me in order for you to go to
heaven, or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to heaven and He wants you to be there with me too?'
You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.

Needless to say, the organizers or promoters of the 'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic Imam, and exposing the naked truth about the evil in Muslims' beliefs.

Therefore, the way things are going now in the next 10 years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President!
Enough Muslim voters in the UK to vote in the Prime Minister. In fact, by 2019 when Boko Haram had finished their depopulation of Christians in Nigeria, there may be no Christian candidates to stand for elective post in the next 5 years.
Think about your children's world. I think everyone in the WORLD!!! should be required to read this, but with the careless attitude of most believers, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it to relations and friends! This is your chance to make a difference...

Please, for Christ's share to all other Christians around you🙌🙋

MISSION CHURCH OF GOD (Freedom Gtae)

ABOUT MISSION CHURCH OF GOD   

MISSION CHURCH OF GOD WORLDWIDE was born out of divine revelation from The Church of God Congregation in the Year 1994.
The church which as of then still named “The Church of God Congregation” was without a presiding head or leader; the then church in its quest to make a worship place made Pst. Anthony Ekpo the Assistant Chairman of its Building Committee, the project which was successfully completed in December 1995 ended the church with a Zinc roof and mats for wall worship place, the structure which was then made according to the strength of the congregation, was used till its renovation in the year 1999 and was made a solid house but yet the sizes of the building was so small that it even brought discouragement to the church visitors or even those where invited to the church service
As the devil from time origin has never been delighted in the gathering of saints, so was he never happy about the church, for which he caused a buzzing wind of evil that fracasly scattered and brought desolation upon the church of God leaving her with just a few families, the church which had no trustee, no senior pastor, no adviser but God was still ministering to his servant Pst. Anthony S. Ekpo with the urging words “DON’T GIVE UP” and so did he, as he never forsook the dispensation that was handed unto him
As God would never allow his people suffer mislead in desolation he raised among his flocks a guide from the congregation, a man to stand in the gap one who will continue to feed his flocks with the sincere milk of the word and through which the name “MISSION’S CHURCH OF GOD WORLDWIDE” was released to through the divine aid of the holy spirit
In 2007 as God will have his will done in everything that has to do with his people he provided for them a of fellowship place
Today MISSION’S CHURCH OF GOD WORLDWIDE is a registered and certified body by law of the federal republic of Nigeria making no person an owner of a church but every member a worker.         Therefore the place becomes a Centre for fellowship to all who believe in Christ Jesus and are ready to serve him in truth.
