Candle Light

March 15, 2019 0
BY  Kudzi Valerie Kirichi
It seems to be a parable sought of but the phrase is so simple to explain and to understand. Its not rocket science after all but simply what most of the people do in life. We trade the things that would last us a lifetime for small things that a quick to vanish. We tend to leave what matters most in our lives for that which is temporary. They are those things that come in our lives and they require us to give up some things that we already had. But is it that they will last a lifetime or they will be soon wasted? People often neglet this part of the story simply because they think that their world has been made meaningful and content with the newly found fortune .
Dear, there is more to life than the newly found thing. 
   The sun is something or let's say an object that provides the whole universe with daylight. It is there for as long as I wouldn't know. Then the candle is a man-made wax that can provide light only for a small sphere place and last for certain hours and melts down. Even the sun can at a point melt the candle. This then proves that the sun takes precedence over the candle. Then why would one sell the sun to buy a candle. Why do we have to sacrifice a bigger and great thing so as to buy that which is temporary and doesn't last.
    In life they are some things that we do that would cost us. They are things we trade our time, money, brain and hearts for. It all comes down to that is it worthy it. If its not really worthy it then why  not leave it. They say " All that

But They All Died

March 15, 2019 0
 
By Emmanuel Tatenda Charuka
  Reading some book, on some of the excruciating pains that early Christians known as the Protestants went through I was impressed with a statement that read, “All this was endured by men and women and even weak girls, that people in future ages might be free…All this was endured that men might be free, and that all future ages might know it to be the inalienable right of every soul to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience.” But what is it exactly that the quoted statement refers to, what did they really endure for our freedom.
The Bible says, “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
For now we are going to focus on the highlighted texts only, wearing out the saints of the most High and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. For curiosities sake I will tell you the ‘he’ that is being mentioned here is the papal Rome, but will explain about him soon. But for the sake of our study we will first know that the ‘time and times and dividing of times’ refers to 3 and a half years, or 42 months, if we are to consider the text from Daniel 4.23 we would find that Nebuchadnezzar was given 7 times and these referred to 7 years. So a time refers to a year so we are going to use the time equals a year principle, hence time = 1year, times (2) = 2years and dividing of times = ½ a year or six months taking us to 3 and a half years or 42months. This has only started to get interesting now in prophecy a year is not literal. We have to now go to the book of Numbers 14.34 and Ezekiel 4.6 to establish that the principle here applied is that of a day to a year. 42 months = 1260 days therefore the period that the saints were in his hands is equal to 1,260 years.
Historians have seen that in the year A.D 533 an edict was passed by emperor Justinian, which made the bishop of Rome the head of all churches. Btu the edict did not come into effect until A.D 538 for in those 5 years the three nations were still in protest of the papal sovereign rule. These three named the Heruli, the Vandals and the Ostrogoths were in opposition to this rule. In A.D 493 the Heruli were plucked out, the Vandals in 534 and Ostrogoths in 553. But the edict came in effect in 538 when the last of the (Ostrogoths) were driven out of Rome by Belisarius in that same year. The 1,260 years commenced then in A.D 538 up to 1798 when Berthier, with a French army entered Rome declaring a republic and in the process taking the pope a prisoner. Since then the papal Rome has never again the privileges it had in both the religious and political arena. This period is the darkest period that Christianity has ever gone under, a period so dark history has named it the dark ages. Estimates

Dogs Are Important

March 15, 2019 0

You might have heard of emotional support animals, but in case you haven't, an emotional support animal is a pet that is prescribed to provide emotional support for someone who is in need of continuous assistance throughout the day. This support animal is often a dog, but cats or other animals and may also be used to assist people with a range of physical, psychiatric, or intellectual disabilities.
Dogs especially can be great companions and help treat depression, feelings of sadness, and loneliness, and they can help with daily motivation. Dogs can also help put you in a better mood and improve your mental health on a daily basis. Here are some of the ways that dogs improve the mental health and physical wellbeing of their humans.


Dogs accept you no matter what

Dogs offer unconditional love and acceptance. Your dog probably greets you with an excited wiggle every time you come home, whether you’ve been gone for a few minutes or a whole day. To your dog, you are her whole world, and she loves you no matter who you are. She will cuddle you at any time and kiss your face whenever she gets the chance. And the best part is that all she wants in return is your care and affection.

Dogs can alter your mood

Dogs can help change your mood and your behavior. Have you ever been in a bad mood, but then your dog did something sweet that suddenly made you feel better? Dogs can help to calm your nerves, put a smile on your face, or simply make you feel better. Hugging or petting your dog can also be a very effective way to lower stress, ease depression symptoms, and boost levels of serotonin and dopamine, which help you feel better more quickly. The next time you are frustrated, lonely, or sad, spend some quality time with your dog and see if it helps to make you feel better. Chances are it will.

Dogs teach you responsibility

Just like children, dogs need you every single day. W
