The Reality of Jesus Christ

For the past week I have been watching TB Joshua on Emmanuel TV on my pc. God has anointed him strongly and imbued him with miraculous powers as a wonderful testament that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever !

For non-believers, tune in to Emmanuel TV daily and watch and observe the truth about God for yourself. And the Truth shall set you free !

For believers, tune in to Emmanuel TV for it is God's demonstration of His Love and Grace for this generation, and a reward for your faith in Jesus Christ all these years. More importantly, beyond the miraculous healings, prophecies, and preaching, ask yourself : what is the implication of what God is doing? Is this the fulfilment of biblical prophecies concerning the end times?

Those who want to find the truth may download the free version of Superinternet TV from the tucows.com site. Once you have installed the program, choose and click Emmanuel TV from the stations listed under the religious category and watch! Your life will never be the same again !

To God be the Glory !

ADDENDUM:

Some people want to know why I interrupted my regular blog entries with this unrelated content?

Well, the short answer is - it is important everyone has a chance to see and verify for himself the reality of God and truth of Jesus Christ.

I have never seen anyone with such extraordinary powers as TB Joshua ! When interviewed - he was featured on Times magazine - he said he is like any man and declared he does not heal - only Jesus Christ does. That however does not stop his followers from calling him a prophet.

You would too if you are delivered and healed from ailments such as HIV, cancer, blindness, broken bones, demon-possession, etc. Moreover, he goes on air with spoken prophecies during his Sunday worship service that is broadcast internationally. Subsequently - as the prophesied events occur and news break these are reported on the station.

The amazing thing is - for the first time in history - you can watch all the miracles on TV - and decide for yourself who is TB Joshua. For the first time you can watch and listen to those who had been healed giving their testimonies and confessions on public TV !

I know two persons living in Singapore who witnessed the miracles TB Joshua did. One testified that TB Joshua was in Singapore for a healing crusade and he was astounded to see 3 of his inmates who were confined to wheelchairs standing up and walking after TB Joshua had prayed for them! He had no doubts about the miraculous healings because he was intimately acquainted with the the medical condition of the 3 inmates. After all, they were his cell-mates !

Who is Jesus Christ? Do you believe the claims of Christ - that he is the Son of God; He was crucified on the Cross for our sins and rose from the dead three days later, appearing to more than 400 hundred people; He ascended into heaven and will come back to this world again at some future date. And finally, He freely gives eternal life and salvation to all those who confesses their sins, and accepts Him as their Savior.

Perhaps the ultimate test is for you to go see for yourself the extraordinary powers of TB Joshua in Lagos, Nigeria. Anyone who has a fatally verified medical condition - such as advanced cancer or medical condition where there is no cure like muscular dystrophy - could go to TB Joshua for prayer and healing. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

Cavenagh Bridge


Source: Wikipedia
Originally known as the Edinburgh Bridge to commemorate the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh, its name was changed to Cavenagh Bridge in honour of Major General William Orfeur Cavenagh, the last India-appointed Governor of the Straits Settlements, who governed from 1859 to 1867.[1] The coat of arms of the Cavenagh family can still be seen atop the signage at both ends of the bridge.

Cavenagh Bridge linked the Civic District on the northern bank to the Commercial District on the southern bank of the Singapore River. Before Cavenagh Bridge was constructed, people could only get to the two districts via a detour over Elgin Bridge or by paying 1 duit (¼ cent) for a boat ride across the river.



This bridge has elaborate suspension struts in comparison with most other suspension bridges, and is the third bridge to be built in Singapore. It was constructed in 1869 to allay the inconvenience of crossing the Singapore River by boat. It was originally designed as a drawbridge but on its completion was found to be suitable only as a fixed structure. Numerous steel rivets were used in its construction, which employed steel casting methods commonly used during that era.

The bridge was designed by the colonial Public Works Department's John Turnbull Thomson and constructed by the P&W Maclellan, Glasgow Engineers at a cost of Straits $80,000. Built and tested in Glasgow to withstand a load four times its own weight, it was shipped to Singapore in parts and reassembled in 1869 by convict labour before opening to traffic a year later. Rickshaws and ox carts used the Cavenagh Bridge to cross Singapore River. Subsequently, the bridge became overloaded due to the flourishing trade on the Singapore River in the late 1880s.



When Cavenagh Bridge became unable to cope with the increasing traffic into town and its low draught was insufficient for the passage of boats at high tide, the government decided to build the Anderson Bridge in 1910 to replace Cavenagh Bridge. Cavenagh Bridge was eventually spared from demolition and was converted to a pedestrian bridge, with the heavier vehicles, horse and ox carts being diverted to Anderson Bridge. A police notice, which is still preserved till today, was thus erected at both ends of the bridge restricting the passage of vehicles that weighed beyond 3 cwt (152 kilograms, 300 pounds (US) or 336 pounds (Imperial)), including cattle and horses.

Parliament House

The Parliament House of Singapore is a public building and cultural landmark and houses the Parliament of Singapore. It is located in the Civic District of the Downtown Core within Singapore's central business district (the Central Area). Within its vicinity is Raffles Place, which lies across it from the Singapore River, and the Supreme Court's building across the road.

The building was designed to represent a contemporary architectural expression of stateliness and authority. The prism-shaped top, designed by the late former president Ong Teng Cheong, was similarly a modernist take on the traditional dome.

Sir Stamford Raffles Sculpture


Sir Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles (6 July 1781 – 5 July 1826) was the founder of the city of Singapore (now the city-state of the Republic of Singapore). He was also heavily involved in the conquest of the Indonesian island of Java from Dutch and French military forces during the Napoleonic Wars. He is one of the more famous Britons who contributed to the expansion of the British Empire.

Elgin Bridge


Source: wikipedia

Elgin Bridge is a vehicular bridge that spans across the Singapore River, and links the Downtown Core to the Singapore River Planning Area located within Singapore's Central Area.

The existing bridge was completed in 1929, and was named after a Governor-General of India, Lord Elgin (1862 – 1863). As this was the first bridge to be built across the river, the two roads leading to it were named North Bridge Road and South Bridge Road accordingly.

History

Elgin Bridge is believed to have existed at the place it is currently located as a footbridge as early as 1819[1], the year Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles landed on Singapore. The bridge served as a link between the Chinese community on the southern side of the Singapore River to the Indian merchants of High Street on the northern side, and was once the only place where one could walk across the Singapore River.[1]

Elgin Bridge was rebuilt as a wooden drawbridge in 1822, and was officially named Presentment Bridge. It was also known as Jackson Bridge after Lieutenant Philip Jackson who built the bridge. As it was a very narrow bridge, it was also called Monkey Bridge, as people required some agility to get across it. Its narrowness limited the number of people crossing the bridge at any one time.

In 1843, a wooden footbridge built by John Turnbull Thomson replaced the original wooden drawbridge, but it was demolished in 1862.

Elgin Bridge was later built as an iron bridge in 1862, and named after James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin who served as the Governor General of India during 1862 – 1863. The iron bridge was demolished in 1925 to make way for a new concrete bridge, but its name remained. Elgin Bridge was opened to traffic by the Governor of the Straits Settlements Sir Hugh Clifford on 30 May 1929.

Cavalari Rudolfo Nolli, an Italian sculptor, designed the elegant cast iron lamps on both sides of the bridge. His signature is inscribed beneath the lamps. Bronze plaques, each with a lion standing in front of a royal palm tree engraved on it, can also be found below the lamps.

Elgin Bridge is known as thih tiau kio in Hokkien, meaning "iron suspension bridge".

On 3 November 2008, the bridge was selected for conversation as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority's expanded conservation programme.
