Louisiana Orders Every Classroom To Display Ten Commandments
Louisiana Orders Every Classroom To Display Ten Commandments
Louisiana has become the first US state to order that every public school classroom up to university level must display a poster of the Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments (Biblical Hebrew: עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדְּבָרִים
The Republican-backed measure signed into law by Governor Jeff Landry on Wednesday describes the commandments as "the foundational documents of our state and national government".
The law is expected to be challenged by civil rights groups, which argue that it contravenes the separation between church and state enshrined in the first amendment to the US Constitution, the so-called Establishment Clause.
It says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
The state law requires that a poster include the sacred text in "large, easily readable font" on a poster that is 11 inches by 14 inches (28cm by 35.5cm) and that the commandments are "the central focus" of the display.
It will also be shown alongside a four-paragraph "context statement" which will describe how the commandments "were a prominent part of American public education for almost three centuries".
The posters must be on display in all classrooms receiving state funding by 2025 - but no state funding is being offered to pay for the posters themselves.
Similar laws have recently been proposed by other Republican-led states, including Texas, Oklahoma and Utah.
There have been numerous legal battles over the display of the Ten Commandments in public buildings, including schools, courthouses and police stations.
In 1980, the US Supreme Court struck down a similar Kentucky law requiring that the document be displayed in elementary and high schools.
In a 5-4 vote, the high court ruled that the requirement that the Ten Commandments be posted "had no secular legislative purpose" and was "plainly religious in nature".
The court noted that in addition to criminal matters like killing and stealing, the Ten Commandments also made references to worshipping God including observing the Sabbath day.

Wasted Offerings and Wasted Tithes
The offerings and tithes rejected by God.
Almighty God does not accept every offering and tithe.
The offerings and tithes from unrepentant sinners are abominations to God.
If you have any bitterness; done any evil in wickedness or lied against anyone, God will not accept your offering or your tithe.
If you don't obey the commandments of God, your offerings and tithes are unacceptable and wasted.
You cannot bribe God.
The Word of God is pure and true as written in the following verses from the Holy Bible.
◄ 1 John 4:20 ►
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
◄ Matthew 5:23-24 ►
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there; rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first. be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
►
First and foremost, REPENT and make reconciliation and restitution. Until you REPENT, your offerings and tithes will be rejected by Almighty God.
Pastors, Bishops, General Overseers, General Superintendents and other ministers of Christianityw who don't tell you the truth are fake.

Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, Where is the Fire? 🔥
Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria, Where is the Fire? 🔥
20 Pentecostal Pioneers in Nigeria by Israel O. Olofinjana (Ebook) -
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."
King James Version
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun."
King James Version
3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
5 The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.
7 For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.
As Apostle Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:2-9:
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, [a]unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; 9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was."
King James Version
19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

2 - Year Old Child Recites Psalm 23
2-Year Old Recites Psalm 23
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wf2BrZFXiTk?si=669nIq1wyiX18EiT
Psalms 23:1-6 (KJV)
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Amen!

HALLELUJAH!
HALLELUJAH!
Testimony time!
Blessing time.
The two songs I have promised to Almighty God to record and publish are " Your Majesty, God Almighty" in English and " Soso Nanighi Ka Ngefe" in Igbo, meaning, "You Are the Only One I Worship" which I have composed and have been singing during my early morning praise and worship. And they have been inspired by His Holy Spirit.
When you are in the fullness of the presence of Almighty God, nothing else matters in the world.
You are ready to be with Him forever.
For in His presence, He gives you the utterance of His Holy Spirit.
For in His presence, there is fullness of Joy forever.
When you know Him in Spirit and in Truth,
He speaks to you aloud and clear audibly for you to hear Him.
Until you experience the presence of God in the Holy Spirit, you don't have any relationship with God.
HALLELUJAH!
I will receive the support I have been waiting for to produce the two songs before Christmas!.
He will send me the divine helpers.
He has done it before and He will do it again.
"Your Majesty, God Almighty!" Is an amazing song of redemption and salvation with heavenly chorus.
My doxology of 42 pages composed decades ago is as awesome as Handel's Messiah.
