Religion: The Relevance Of Jesus Today

Image
With Hannock Ngaru  If anyone would want to talk about God today they have to include the historical Jesus and presence of the Holy Spirit who is in the World  today. The scripture is also an intergral reference that vividly articulates the reality of the Godhead and guides humanity to learn more about Him. Jesus as a person would enter the Synagogue, where doctors of the Law who studied about him but ignorantly missed his position during their time: open the book of the Law and would say this Word/Law has been fulfilled in your hearing referring to himself which would push the blinded learned men to try and stone him to death without much success though. "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” 22 So all bore witness to Him, and marveled at the gracious words which proceeded out of His mouth. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” (Luke 4.21, NKJV). This scripture is an epitome of the legendary Jesus who was part of the incarnated God who lived as a Jew but in...

Water Logging, Damps Farms In Cape Town

Image
The wet, cold winters' spell has dampened farms in the Western Cape province in Cape Town South Africa as most of the crops especially in the market gardening zone have been shattered by water logging. In Farms around Philipi today, farm managers were struggling to sell cash crop vegetables as they had been disturbed by the rains which characterise the winters this season. Most buyers were complaining of too much sand on vegetables, carrots and on other fresh produce from the farm that threatened to deter their retail businesses. Even though, water logging might be of concern the water table has risen to avert previous droughts that normally hit Cape Town.

SA Economy On The Mend

Image
Analysis South African market forces point to a mending economy due to several market indicators that have turned on a green light from an amber light that was flashing preparing to hit the red zone that signaled a plunge into recession. The dwindling of fuel prices which had soared is one of the quickest market indicators that signaled a stabilising economy which seemed to have slipped out of the State's control. Fuel especially petrol's price tag was slowly getting out of hand and affected the prices of daily necessities like bread. Petrol prices fell from around R22.30 to around R21.90 which is a good indication since it is quite unexpected to have a drop in fuel prices. Furthermore, another indicator that put Mzansi into the economic green zone is the availability of electricity which has powered the industrial zone which decried the loadshedding that was taking place even though, the expenditure has been passed on to the  consumers through the hiking of tarrifs. Although, ...

Mai Titi's Dirty Linen Still Hangs in Public

Image
Felistas Murata well known as Mai Titi continues to headline the media for the wrong reasons as woes continue to mount on her. The Zimbabwean social media comedian is at the centre of a fraud case according to media reports and social media. Mai Titi it is said has been dragged to court for failing to pay for the services of a vehicle she hired which had attracted a sum of USD 10 000. An amount she unfortunately cannot afford to pay and is at the centre of the courts which are yet to decide on her fate. Her case still holds comical effects as her pleas to be exonerated are a misnomer if found guilty as charged. She is recorded as pleading for mercy as a first offender, that she has children and unveiled her HIV status. However, Mai Titi remains a Zimbabwean caricature whose allegorical folklore will continue to bring comic relief to her country mates in their dire times. 

Religion: Forgiveness & Love

Image
I welcome you to yet another edition on the column of Religion which is quite wide and big however, I am still focusing on an encompassing topical godly slant that most people hide in.  This topic is the essence of the Godhead which drove God to give his only begotten Son so that he would reconcile Himself with the World that would believe in him (Son). Anyone who attaches himself to godliness is obligated to be encapsulated in Love and has to Forgive. Love and Forgiveness are an oxygen tank to the gods (those who believe in the Son of God, Psalms 82). This is what most people fail to understand and to grasp. According to the bible, " If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother he is a liar : for he that loveth not his brother he hath seen, how  can he love God who he hath not seen?" 1 John 4.20  (KJV). The Devil has taken it upon himself to snare and blind many individuals by burning them with hate and keeping a record of wrongs thereby inflicting them with diseases...

Image
In a hard fought encounter tonight at Ataturk stadium, Instabul, Turkey, Manchester City defeated Inter Milan to win the UEFA Champions' League match which was there only accolade that was left to put in their bag of Championship titles. Man City won by a goal to nil which was scored by the Spanish defensive midfielder Rodrigo Hernandez Cascante in the 68th minute of the second half of the match. Manchester City had never won the UCL Championship before and it was their first time to become Champions of Europe which did not come on a silver platter but they worked hard for it after passing through their major inhibition Real Madrid 5 - 1 on aggregate in the Semi - Final at Etihad stadium. It was as obvious at it sounded that they would sail through basing on their form but today's match on practical level did not exhibit what was on paper or on assumptions by supporters. However, City who lost Kevin De Bryune through injury and had to be replaced by Phil Foden soldeired on to b...
