Make sure you have a look at the moon tonight... It's called the 'Sturgeon Moon' (Blue Supermoon) Best seen just after it rises.... It's called a Bluemoon but it is actually not Blue...The Blue bit oddly refers to the fact it is the 3rd of 4 full moons happening this season. The 'Super' bit refers to the moons being it's closest to earth on its orbit....So a 'Super Blue Moon' which this is tonight is actually quite rare...Next one is gonna be around January 2037.... It is quite a sight to behold......

FULFILLING GOD'S PURPOSE II And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Genesis 2:15 At the beginning of creation and before the fall of man in Genesis chapter three, the instruction given to humanity can be safely classified into three categories. Category one is to cultivate the land and to keep it. The words “subdue”, “have dominion”, and “rule” are all pointers to what is required to effectively keep the land as steward-kings of God’s creation. Category two is the institution of law with the purpose of teaching people to live under authority. The third category is the institution of marriage to expose people to the principle of love and teach people to live for someone other than themselves. From that very beginning, God made it very clear that He is not abandoning us to ourselves to figure things out all alone. He wants us to use everything we have to serve Him and humanity, therefore manual labour or service at this level was not the result of the fall, rather it was part of God’s original purpose for humanity. The truth is evident in Genesis 2:15-18, which says: “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the Lord commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” The starting point of fulfilling God’s purpose for anyone therefore, is to be productive. Since we are discussing the very first set of instructions to humanity, obedience to God must necessarily start from here. A true believer is to provide for his near relatives and his immediate family at the same time. It is not by choice; failure to provide for one’s family is equal to denial of the faith as stated in 1st Timothy 5:8:  “But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” This is the major reason why believers must be busy doing something worthwhile in life. If a Christian is unable to care for his family, such a person will be unable to love and care for others. The Bible says that such people are worse than infidels. Now it is possible to be in such a state temporarily due to several reasons, but it must not be accepted as permanent status. A faithful Christian will soon find favour with God and man that will pull him or her out of such despicable situation. I therefore prophesy into the life of anyone in such a situation reading this devotional today, the Great Provider will transfer you from poverty to abundance today in Jesus’ name. For those that are looking unto God for profitable ventures, receive it now in the name of Jesus. From this day, you will begin to fulfil God’s purpose for your life in the mighty name of Jesus. Father, please help me to fulfil my purpose in Jesus' name by: Pastor E.A. Adeboye Download Devotional Bible @ https://devb.page.link/get-app Amazon @ amzn://apps/android?p=apps.syst.com.devbib

24 years ago, Sarah Blakely, an American woman entrepreneur founded a company called Spanx. Spanx is an underwear company that produces leggings and body shape-wear and other clothings for women. Sarah Blakely founded the company in her home in Atlanta Georgia and grew it from scratch to become the billion dollar company that it is today. I've been studying Sara Blakely and I love how she talks and feels so passionately about her work at Spanx till date. 3 years ago, she sold majority stake in her company to a bigger company. And just today, August 20, 2024, Sara Blakely is at it again. She just launched an innovative footwear brand called Sneex. It's a combination of sneakers 👟 plus high heels 👠 merged into one. Aimed at providing class and comfort for fashionable women. Quite impressive! And it's already taking the fashion industry by storm 🔥 🔥 One other thing I love about Sara is her energy 🔥 🔥 In her videos and interviews, she's always lively, engaging and full of good vibes💯 One last thing... I love how Sara Blakely captures her thoughts on her mugs. It's always a delight whenever I get to read them. Congratulations to Sara on her brand launch today. When I watched her launch interview, she mentioned she had been working on this innovation for about 10 years! Sara Blakely is 53 years old and it looks like she's just getting started ✌🏽 If you're a woman entrepreneur, follow her on Instagram and be inspired. Love always 😘😘 Priscilla Canice-Obi Founder, Nature First®

Some history, first boxing world title fight held in Africa happened in Ibadan in 1963..

Open the Door to Abundance Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap... (Luke 6:38, NIV) God is a God of abundance! He wants to pour out His blessing on you until you are so full that you are running over with His goodness. Notice how this verse starts. It says, “Give, and it will be given to you.” Your giving is what sets the blessing of God into motion in your life. Your giving is a spiritual seed. In the natural, when you plant an apple seed, it doesn’t just grow a single fruit. That one seed grows into a tree that has an abundance of apples. The same thing happens when you obey God in your giving. You get an abundant harvest in return. You are so blessed that you can’t even contain it! You just have to keep giving, and the cycle just keeps repeating itself. Is there something the Lord is telling you to give today? What do you have in your hand that you can use to be a blessing to someone else? Take a step of faith and set the blessing of God into motion. Open the door to His blessing all the days of your life! Father, I receive Your Word into my heart today. Thank You for choosing to bless me so that I can be a blessing to others. Show me where to plant my seed so that I can receive the harvest You have for me in Jesus name.
