Today's bible teaching: When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem ,they took branches of palm trees and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
John Chapter 12 Vs 1-28
1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2 There they made him a supper; and Marthaserved: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the dayof my burying hath she kept this.
8 For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
12 On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
17 The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
20 And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.

GOVERNMENT OF IMO STATE
PRESS RELEASE
KEKE OPERATORS TO CEASE OPERATING IN OWERRI METROPOLIS ON TUESDAY, SEPT. 5, 2017
-AS GOVERNOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA SHARES 2000 PASSAT WAGON CARS TO THEM IN REPLACEMENT
Also in its Urban Renewal pursuit, Keke Operators in the state will cease to operate in designated areas in Owerri, the State Capital as from Tuesday, September 5, 2017 and will only be operating in some areas around the State Capital. Only taxis will now be operating in the Capital City.
For that reason, the governor shared about 2000 pieces of Passat Wagon Cars to the Keke Operators on Wednesday, August 30, 2017 to enable them comply with the directive. Balloting was conducted at the Hero’s Square for the beneficiaries to emerge.
The second batch beneficiaries will get theirs in October while the third batch will have their own in December 2017, adding that keke Operators would no longer be expected to operate along the major roads of Douglas, Wetheral, Bank Road, Orlu Road and other designated roads”.
Addressing the Keke Operators Governor Rochas Okorocha said, “Few years ago when the Keke people gave me a very resounding support, I promised you people that I will change you from three legged to four legged and for that reason, today marks the beginning of movement from tricycle to full car. Now government has made provision for 2,000 taxis to enable all of you to have one taxi each. This is done to give you comfort and make your life prosperous. I would have not been happy if I finish this government without fulfilling my promise”.
He said “For purpose of clarity this is government empowerment scheme to empower the masses, to reduce pain in your families and to bring comfort. Keke has served us well in Imo State and I want to thank you all for serving us well but as Imo State is developing and getting better with good roads and a lot of infrastructural developments, Keke can no longer be the appropriate means of transport within the Owerri City, this is why we are moving from Keke to a full car”.
He continued “Only few days ago, you heard the story about EKEUKWU MARKET, and few months ago you heard the attack on the Urban Renewal and few years ago you heard about the free education and the attack by the elite, you will agree with me my people that I have come to rescue Imo State. In all these, I Rochas Okorocha your governor, has no direct or indirect benefit from my free education or widening the road or even relocating the EKEUKWU but I see that in the next ten years Imo will appreciate what I have done for them”.
“I give you this cars without subjecting you to pay for forms, or cost of transportation or any another fee, I release it free of charge, I am doing this for God’s sake that the poor people may smile.
“I want all of you to understand that I am making the highest sacrifice that it may be well with my people. I have tried to make Imo much better than I met it, as I struggle painfully, having sleepless nights to make the life of my people better, I want you to reciprocate by joining me in the fight to rescue the state totally from the hands of scavengers ravaging the state over the years.
“I relocated Ekeukwu to stop crime in the area and clean the city of dirts, so that light can come in but the Sadducees and Pharisees cashed in and changed the narrative. Only yesterday, they said they want to pay condolence over a child that was shot, let me tell you, neither the Police nor any government official shot any gun and till today nobody has shown where the blood of that child was but this happened along Mbaise road not even on Douglas Road”. he stressed

#WorldWar111?America shows military fire power over North Korean Leader Kim.
America is set to take on North Korea as two U.S. B-1B supersonic bombers and four F-35B stealth fighter jets joined four South Korean F-15 fighters in live-fire exercises at a military field in eastern South Korea for ten hours #today one day after anti-missile test off Hawaii.
The United States deployed cutting-edge stealth jets which are highly advanced and long range bombers for military drills with South Korea on Thursday, in a clear warning to North Korea following their ballistic missile launch earlier this week.
North Korea hates such displays of U.S. military might along the Korean peninsula and will likely respond with anger as the exercise will make things get worse as each side wants to prove superior power.

Armed Robber Nabbed At The Lords Chosen Church In Ondo,Tied With Rope(Photos)
Two days before the just concluded TheLords Chosen Ondo State State Crusade (MY STORY MUST CHANGE), some unknown persons broke into the State Pastor's office to cart away the money kept there for the running of the programme but God of Chosen blindfolded them and they were unable to see the money that was so glary to any body that enters the office.
Now, on Monday night after the crusade, they came boldly again because they believed pledge was made in the programme, but this time around, God was not ready to show them mercy again since they didn't learn their lessons in their previous attempt.As the workers and leaders gathered for their usual vigil, while prayers were going on, the state lastor came out of his office but it was unusual of him. Immediately, He Sang a song which goes thus;
"Covenant keeping God,
There is no one like You.
Alpha and Omega,
There is no one like you."
He made reference to the just concluded crusade - (MY STORY MUST CHANGE) AND PROCLAIMED THAT OUR STORY HAS INDEED CHANGED. Shortly after that statement,some armed men came to attack the church with their weapons and as they surrounded the church compound, 3 of them quickly entered inside the church. On seeing them, all the brethren declared themselves Chosen (I Am A Chosen - 3 Times, just according to the instruction of the General Pastor - that they should declare themselves Chosen, that they shall see the glory of God in action.
All of a sudden, they became powerless and they took to their heels, while running, one of them fell into the gutter and was apprehended by some of The Chosen Mopol Brethren. He was later handed over to the police at B Division, Oke Aro. The name of the police head that the case was handed over to is ASP ENEBELEM.
