Mark 9:35
Last? Nobody likes to be last. We have a hard enough time settling for second place, much less last place. Jesus reverses the rank. The person who is most important to him is not the person seeking the status and notoriety. The most important person is like Jesus himself: willing to give up rank and status and importance to serve. For Jesus, last means first in service and first in the eyes of God.
MY PRAYER...
Magnificent God my Savior, you have made the world wonderful for me and have given your Son to redeem me. How can I ever thank you or repay you for your grace and kindness. Today help me see those you want me to serve with grace and kindness as I try to be more like you. This I pray in the name of the one who washed his disciples' feet. Amen.
Do you know the real meaning behind the book by CS lewis, the Lion the witch and the wardrobe?? Let me explain…….. CS lewis did not design these books to be a mystical fairy take, but rather, he followed the pattern of the gospel. It is a parallel to the world that exists but that we do not see. ASLAN is a picture of JESUS himself. One who was without sin, who would sacrifice himself for all. Thus redeeming all mankind. Redeemed from what, you say? From the evil grasp of the queen of Narnia, the Witch herself. Who is a model of Satan himself. Sacrificial death has broken the curse forever. Edmund repents, and returns to following Aslan the king, just as we may repent and find restoration. The witch believes she is disposing of Aslan and rejoices over her great victory, what she does not realize is that the moment of hi death means the defeat of her kingdom and her own demise. What is the mystery, and the hidden wisdom? It was that a savior was to come to earth and pay for man's sin, thus the claim the enemy of God had over our lives. There was an insurance policy on our lives, set in the heaven long before Adam fell and sealed our fate. This was kept from Satan, that Jesus' death would destroy him, so that the enemies of God would go on and follow the path to kill him. The witch does not imagine that Aslan will rise again, just as Satan did not know Jesus would be resurrected in three days on our behalf. All that generations henceforth would have to do would be to believe on him and the ownership of Satan is canceled forever, the debt of sin paid, and the free gift of eternal life obtained. The wardrobe itself represents the entryway into the spiritual kingdom that exists, but that we do not see. Passing through the wardrobe could be likened to prayer, or taking a step of faith to God that allows us to see clearer the realities of these two kingdoms. Time behaves differently here than it does in earth, the exact reason Lucy's story was so plausible, according to the professor. NARNIA is a copy of the earth in the future, where heaven and hell battle for supremacy, where good and evil are in a continual, ongoing war. "the In NARNIA, the witch, who calls herself the Queen, but has no right to, (as Satan likes to vaunt his own status, but has no right to) is seeking dominance over all of Narnia. In the same way, Satan seeking to rule this earth in a great and hidden battle for the souls of men, and ultimate victory over God. The Four Children pose as Christian soldiers in the story. Who are called by God to fight for him and bring a permanent change in the They are given many tasks and weapons to fight with and protect themselves, just as believers are given spiritual weapons to fight the enemies kingdom and win. For there are souls at stake that the white witch wants to capture. So we conclude, the children are "sent" as apostles from one kingdom, to another, to exact a change, and answer the call that is given them. We were sent into the world to claim territory for God's kingdom. For there are many souls at stake that the enemy wants to capture. At the end Satan has no claim over Narnia, because everyone has done their job. Aslan has obeyed the great emperor (God the father), in shedding his sinless blood, the children have matured and fought valiant battle against the witch, and have followed Aslan. The Beavers, who help the children survive, and feed them, and guide and direct them throughout seem to me to represent the angels of god. Who on our behalf, seek to help and serve us, when we are in service to the king especially. The stone Table the place of seeming torture and defeat, of course is a copy of the cross that Jesus died upon. A place of no reputation, humiliation, rejection, torture, but resulting in total victory. What a plan to defeat Satan!! There could be no other way. God could not send Jesus in a parade, or with great fanfare, he came as a baby, with no place to be born but a lowly manger, lest Satan find him early and destroy him, and then to die a humiliating, suffocating death, which made hell rejoice, only for them find out it would be their greatest defeat. So lets remember this great king, who so cleverly disguised himself as a lowly servant, to buy us back eternally. The Ghouls, the Centaurs, the Toad people, who are all at the witch's command, are a picture of satan's kingdom, and the many demons and emissaries that serve him. If you notice, how base and horrible the creatures are, and this is an accurate depiction of the ghouls in his kingdom who have fallen from God. The witch's hatred and venomous wrath for the children is really fear, fear that they will fulfill their destiny and bring Aslan back, for when he returns her reign will end. Satan himself is afraid of the child of god who knows their ministry and fulfilling their purpose. We see the two kingdom battling, even as winter begins to subside as Aslan is returning. Her power begins to reign in the presence of holiness; her whole hateful existence is an attempt to subvert Aslan. Even her fearsome voice and her meanness are against the great king, ultimately. The witch is most afraid of the Children, for there is a prophecy that if they sit in the four thrones in Cair Paravel it would be her defeat. Cair Paravel, where the children rule and reign, as king and queens, represent the millennial reign of Christ and his victory. He now owns and rules the earth, and those who have followed him reap the benefits and sit gloriously and continue to serve him. Christ will return again as Aslan did, and rule and reign and it will not be winter anymore. His return will be speeded up as his children understand their destiny, as the four children did. CS lewis understood how to set forth the gospel in a wonderfully enchanting and mystical setting that children would be captured by for generations. Its my hope, like the authors, that children adults alike will come to understand the full meaning of the book and the full meaning of the gospel in their lives. There are many best selling books today but CS lewis, who penned this book in 1950, was really the first of many to write of this subject. He did so with genius and insight into the world we do not see, but most of all he did so with inspiration and guidance from his Heavenly Father. 





James 4:10
Humble yourselves. That sounds obscene. At least to the culture of self-promotion and "get ahead at all cost" and "don't look back, the competition is gaining on you" it sounds obscene. Humility is a forgotten virtue. Often confused with weakness or timidity, humility is about knowing our proper place in the world without flaunting it. Only God can exalt in a permanent way, so the key is to know our place before him and let him put us in the place he chooses to honor him.
MY PRAYER...
Father, Most Holy God, thank you for allowing me into your presence. When I think of all that you have done, the incredible universe you have made and hold together by your word, I am amazed you invite me into your presence and care about my words. Thank you for knowing me and having a plan for my life to please you. Help me this day to glorify you in what I do. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.

وكان المؤتمر حاشداً، لم تشهد مثله الساحة الفنيّة في بيروت منذ فترة بعيدة، وخصوصاً بعد الأوضاع التي مرّ بها لبنان مؤخّراً، وحضره عدد كبير من أبرز ممثّلي الصحف والإذاعات والتلفزيونات اللبنانيّة والعربيّة، وكان لافتاً كثرة عدسات المصوّرين الصحفيّين التي لمعت طوال السهرة، وكأنّها عاصفة من البرق، ملتهمةً بشغف صور هيفاء التي وقفت أمام العدسات، ولبتسمت لها والسعادة تشعّ في بريق عينيها.
وإضافةً إلى حضور الزملاء الإعلاميين، حضر المؤتمر فريق عمل "إيلاف" في بيروت من مختلف الأقسام، وإفتتح المؤتمر بكلمة "إيلاف" التي ألقاها مسؤول القسم الإقتصادي في "إيلاف" الزميل فادي عاكوم، وجاء فيها:
" وصفوا الحسناواتِ منذُ القدمِ قائلين: إنها صاحبةُ أجملِ عيونٍ وصاحبةُ أجملِ صوتٍ، وصاحبةُ أجملِ قوامٍ، وما إلى هنالك من صفات.. أما واصفُها فيحارُ باختيار صفةٍ فيها، فاذا هو أمامَ امرأةٍ كاملةُ الصفاتِ جمالاً وأنوثةً ودلالَ صوتٍ.. على الأقلّ هذا رأيُ معجبيها الذين شاركوا باستفتاء إيلاف لعام 2005 .

Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you
Let us sing. Power and majesty, praise to the king.
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of your name
I sing for joy at the work of your hands
Forever I'll love you, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Lord there is none like you
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am
Never cease to worship you 
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you
Nothing compares to the promise I have in you






يقام المؤتمر الذي يليه حفل كوكتيل في قاعة قرطاج في فندق فينيسيا أنتركونتيننتال في تمام الساعة السابعة مساءً بتوقيت بيروت، وتحضره النجمة هيفاء وهبي التي ستلتقي بالإعلاميين من ممثّلي مختلف وسائل الإعلام اللبنانيّة والعربيّة التي ستحضر لتغطية الحدث، علماً أنّ هذا الحدث هو الأوّل الذي تتشرّف فيه صحيفة "إيلاف" الإلكترونيّة بدعوة زميلاتها من وسائل الإعلام العربيّة المرئيّة، والمسموعة، والمكتوبة في بيروت لمشاركتها في إحتفالية من هذا النوع!!!
Our actions follow our thoughts like a heat seeking missile follows the exhaust of a jet fighter's engine. So in a day when so much around us trains us to find the negative in life, we must aggressively think and pursue the character, the qualities, and the things of God's goodness.


The do's and don'ts of mobile phone use:- DO'S DON'TS Only use your phone when necessary Don't buy a phone with an internal aerial, you want the aerial as far away from your head as possible Keep the calls short Don't use your phone when the reception is weak, the phone needs more power to communicate with the base station, and so the radiowave emissions are higher Carry the phone away from your body when it is on standby Don't buy a phone with a high 'SAR' value, this means that it emits more radiation Buy a phone with a long 'talk time'. It is more efficient, with less powerful emissions Don't buy protective gadgets unless they have been independently tested
Matthew 7:7-8
Ask! So often we're afraid to ask for help because we have to admit we don't have the answers. Seek! Effort and interest and perseverance are necessary and that's sometimes hard. Knock! But God wants us to use the A.S.K. principle and bring our hearts before him. So let's not whine, complain, desire, and want. Let's A.S.K. our Father and seek his glory.
MY PRAYER...
Waiting Father, I am sorry that so often you hear only my whines, complaints, and concerns. You have been so generous with your love. Help me to keep my heart set on you and your will today as I ask you to minister to the things on my heart. In god's name. Amen.
قوس قزح هـو ظاهرة طبيعية تحدث من انكسار أشعة الشمس على قطرات المطر ، وهو غالباً كان يظهر قبل الطوفان ولكن الله استخدمه كعلامة حب ونلاحظ أن كما أن قوس قزح لا بد وأن يظهر بعد كل مطر طالما الشمس والمطر موجودان هكذا فـإن وعد الله بعد حدوث طوفان مـرة اخرى لن ينكسر . ظهر قوس قزح حول العرش الإلهي وهذه علامة ان الله يريد لنا الحياة ويريرد ان يعلن من السماء انه عند وعده ولم ينسى انه يعد لنا حياة أبدية . الله لا يكرر الطوفان والطوفان رمـز المعمودية لذلك المعمودية لا تتكرر. هذا القوس يذكرنا : الخطية عقوبتها الموت (اعلان عن عدل الله وقداسته) غنى مراحم الله الذي يطيل أناته علينا ويريد لنا حياة . القوس هو ختم العهد (الميثاق بين الله ونوح) الشمس تسقط نورها على قطرات المطر فتظهر هذه الألوان المتعدده ، والمسيح شمس البر يرسل نوره على قطرات الماء (الروح القدس الذي يعلن مجد المسيح) والألوان المتعددة تعلن عن احسانات الله وعطاياه المتعددة ، وتعلن مجد المسيح ووساطته فهو علامة حب قدمها الله حين أقام ميثاقاً مع نوح بعد الطوفان ، ويبقى الله كمحب للبشرية يقدم لنا كل حب خلال ميثاقه معنا ، والله في حبه يعتز بالميثاق فيقول "ميثاقي .... قوسي". القوس علامة ميثاق بين السماء والأرض ولاحظ انه يمتد من السماء حتـى الأرض .
