Bishop Oyedepo reveals

According to him, Christians must be listed among the people God had vowed to honour this year.

In his words,

“August is almost gone. We are in the 9th hour as it were, we are going to step into the 11th hour shortly: it is not late, you can connect.

“COVID-19 cannot be any reason why your own ‘Breaking Limit’ package will not be delivered. It’s not a tenable reason. No circumstance on earth will make the covenant of God of no effect.

“You can imagine a medical doctor, going back there to minister to coronavirus patients (documented testimony). He found something, while others are scared by everything they can see.

“Can you imagine anyone bringing coronavirus patient to me and I won’t lay hands on him? Will I wear gloves to lay hands on them? I will lay hands on them; breathe into them; embrace them. What you carry is eternal life, it’s not human life. You should know that,” he said.

“You’ll now wear everything like a doctor, you have never been in a theater in your life. You will be moving like somebody is under some attack.

“Someday, they will know that they have been deceived. They will all know that they have been grossly deceived.
You’ve covered your mouth: do you cover it when you want to eat or there is no corona virus when you are eating?
I just look at it and say, “what is all this?”

“It’s all the devil trying to dehumanize humanity. Don’t go near old people, yet you are buying food from them!
Do you ask somebody of her age when you want to buy food: “Hello Mama, what’s your age?” Age of what? Get out, my friend. I am selling something and you’re asking my age.

“The world will be free. I have a Liberation Mandate to this generation: my job is to see human beings set free from all harassment of the devil. Enough is Enough! Receive grace to constantly celebrate the Word of God; to embrace the Word of God by putting it to work in faith.” He added.

The court handed an 80 year prison sentence to Long for the first-degree rape of Sarah Bost and first-degree burglary by an all-white jury in the 70s, Daily Mail reports.

Despite decades of appeals to overturn the conviction, and being in possession of DNA evidence throughout the years pointed to his innocence, he remained in jail.

The DNA evidence in question pointed to hair samples and clothing fibers not matching those of the accused.

According to media reports, the evidence was not shared with the defense at the time of the trial.

In 2015, it was revealed that 43 fingerprints taken from the scene ‘excluded’ the prisoner as the source of the prints.

A request for a new trial was still rejected by the Fourth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals the same year.

Long was put in a photo lineup as the only man wearing a leather jacket, which was allegedly what was worn on the night of the attack, according to court records.

At the time, detectives said they thought the suspected rapist might have been among defendants in court on other charges the same day.

Long had an alibi for the time of the assault.

His mother, who he lived with at the time, and the mother of his child said he was on a group phone call with them.

He was getting ready to attend a party in Charlotte at the time of the assault, they said.

The 4th Circuit opinion, led by Judge Stephanie D. Thacker, cited ‘a troubling and striking pattern of deliberate police suppression of material evidence.’

#BBNaija: How viewers voted for their favourite housemates this week (Bottom six)

Following the triple eviction of tonight’s live show, the table below shows how viewers of the reality TV show voted for their favourite housemates.

With Tolani, Wathoni and Brighto’s eviction from the show, only 11 housemates are left vying for the 85 million Naira grand prize.

Here’s how viewers voted for their favorite housemate below,

TolaniBaj, Wathoni and BrightO became the sixth, seventh and eight housemate respectively to be evicted from the Big Brother Naija lockdown house on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Big Brother Naija Lockdown housemates were at their competitive best this week. Kiddwaya went through the tasking challenges successfully to emerge winner of this week’s Betway Arena Games. For winning, Big Brother announced that Kiddwaya will be getting his reward on Monday.

This week’s Betway Arena Games paid tribute to the Nigerian armed forces and honoured the brave men and women that risk their lives daily to ensure safety. The obstacle course this week was in military style, challenging the housemates’ endurance.

The housemates were required to complete a series of exercises that involved jumping, crawling and going through tight spaces. The Arena was fitted with tyres, robes, elbow and knee guards, tunnels, and other structures to help the housemates complete the task.

As usual, the games were challenging and pushed the housemates’ endurance and patience to the max. The first obstacle started off with the housemates running through a group of tyres placed on the floor.

Then, the housemates ran through an arch and quickly swung on monkey bars without skipping a bar to get to the next course. Next off, they crawled through a tunnel-like dome and then climbed over and down a wooden A-frame wall to the finish line.

No matter how challenging the obstacles were, the housemates always threw themselves into showing off their sportsmanship and competitive spirit in completing the challenges. Last week, Praise won the Betway Arena games and was awarded pampering by the housemates for the week, but he was punished by Big Brother for being naughty on Sunday before he could enjoy his pampering to the full.

Before the Betway Arena games begin, the housemates are split into two teams and participate in a Betway trivia on sport history complete with chalk, scoreboards and questions cards in the Garden. This week, Team Black won the trivia led by Ozo and Prince.
