Taking the twelve disciples aside, Jesus said, "Listen, we're going up to Jerusalem, where all the predictions of the prophets concerning the Son of Man will come true". Luke 18 v 31
He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him, spit on him, flog him and kill him. Luke 18 v 32
On the third day he will rise again. Like 18 v 33
But as He came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, He began to weep 19:41
It has been determined that the Son of Man must die. Luke 22-22
Get up and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. Luke 22:46
Jesus said, "No more of this," And He touched the man's ear and healed him. Luke 22:51
At that moment the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Luke 22:61
For the third time he demanded, "Why? What crime has He committed? I have found no reason to sentence Him to death". Luke 23:22
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing". Luke 23:34
By this time it was noon, and darkness fell across the whole land until three o'clock. Luke 23:44
He isn't here! He is risen from the dead! Remember what He told you back in Galilee, that the Son of Man must...be crusified, and that He would rise again on the third day. Luke 24:6-7
"Wasn't it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering His glory." Luke 24:26
"It was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day. It was also written....There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent". Luke 24:45-47.
So they worshipped Him and then returned to Jerusalem filled with great joy. Luke 24:52

Keep Trying Fellow Entrepreneurs!
We all know the true story of Thomas Edison and of his more than one thousand patents for numerous inventions, including, of course, the electric light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion-picture projector. But people rarely stop to think of all the failures he experienced along the road to those great achievements. Its recorded that, on one occasion. Edison and his associates were working in their New Jersey laboratory, trying to perfect an invention and meeting up with failure upon failure. Finally, one of Edison's assistants threw up his hands and said, "What a waste! We have tried over seven hundred experiments, and every one was a failure! We're no better off than when we began!"
"Oh, yes, we are," Edison replied with a buoyant smile. "We know seven hundred approaches that won't work. We're getting closer all the time!"
That is the attitude of winners. They NEVER give up! No triumphs and trophies come cheap. Your online business may be struggling at the moment, but you know what, hang in there, keep working, keep learning and motivating yourself. You will make it to the other end. Quitters will never succeed! It's always too soon to throw in the towel.

UNUTTERABLE DEVASTATION
We have all seen and heard the woes that befell Japan. It is frightening indeed. This is beyond human comprehension. The 8.9 magnitude earthquake also unleashed a tsunami that left a trail of destruction in its wake. My prayers and thoughts go out to all the people of Japan at this time.
Meanwhile, CNN last night reported that the earthquake was so strong it moved the main island of Japan by 2.4m and shifted the Earth on its axis. Reports from Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology estimated the quake shifted the planet on its axis by nearly 10cm.
Inspite of all this hopelesness and gloom ,God remains God and has not lost control.Solomon acknowledged the Kingship of God when he wrote in the book of Ecclesiastes the following and I quote "When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other.....".
I hope that the people of Japan will get comfort knowing that the world is behind them. Given the resilience and reputation of being a hardworking nation, Japan will rise from the ashes.

Success Isn’t Important
It may sound like the wrong thing to say, especially as an entrepreneur and business owner who desires to have success, but success isn’t important. HOW you succeed is. If you achieve success by mistreating people and doing whatever is necessary to achieve your goals even if it hurts others, then success won’t mean anything. If, on the other hand, you choose to help others as you rise to the top, and you choose to treat people kindly and with The Golden Rule in mind at all times, then you will not have to focus on success; it will simply come to you. Helping others succeed is one of the best ways to improve your own success and increase the level of positivity in the world. Giving back to your community, sharing your methods with others who can also benefit, and lifting up the spirit of the downtrodden are more the measure of your success than money ever could be.

CHRISTCHURCH LIES IN RUINS
As has been reported worldwide, yesterdays 6.3 magnitude earthquake caused untold chaos in Christchurch as panicking and upset people checked for the whereabouts of their loved ones in the rubble.
The 12.51pm quake struck 10 kilometres south-east of our second largest city Christchurch at a shallow depth of five kilometres and was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks.
I live in a small town which is 74 kilometres from the epicentre, and the whole town felt the quake's violent shaking, surprisingly and miraculously no one was hurt. However, the situation was different in CHRISTCHURCH. Many people have lost their lives, more bodies are being discovered, more survivors are being rescued and some are having to be amputated to free them from underneath the debris. I would not wish such pain even on my worst enemy.
Police have reported multiple fatalities at several locations in the down town area, including the two buses which were crushed by falling buildings.
The city centre is resembling a war zone and the damage is immense and the needs are correspondingly huge. The Earthquake ruptured sewer, water lines and powerlines, which were still under repair from September 4, 2010, earthquake whose magnitude was 7.1.. It struck in the early hours of the morning
and therefore no one was killed,BUT this one struck midday, the time the central city was packed with lunch-hour shoppers..
Its reported that the death toll is already the second highest in a New Zealand earthquake - outranked only by the 7.9 violent earthquake which struck Hawke's Bay killing 256 people.
What has happened to our city only helps us to know that, things can take an unexpected turn just like that. It is a terrifying experience to feel the earth moving beneath you. I cannot describe it well enough, but what I know is that you feel powerless and helpless. No one can stand up to mother nature, except the One who created it. Yes, what is happening right now is painfuland devastating and as human beings, we will never comprehend why these disasters happen.
Let us join together to pray for the people of Christchurch, that the Almighty God will comfort them in these very difficult and trying times.
