The Daily Jot's Top Story of 2018
NOTEWhen writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.

Ezekiel 8:7-9 describes how the Lord directed the prophet Ezekiel to look beyond the walls of the Temple to see the truth: "and he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son of Man, dig now in the wall: and when I had dug in the wall, behold a door. And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here." In Mark 3:23-24, Jesus said, "How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand." These two sets of scripture are indicative of the two top stories of 2018, which is really one story with two related parts. 
 
The mainstream news media, a minion of Marxist-inspired globalist politicians and their billionaire corporate sponsors, employs a craft of using a small ingredient they call truth mixed with propaganda to feed the world a diet of brainwashing misinformation. Their target in America is to foment a coup of a duly elected president and to overthrow a Constitutional Republic. Fake news has become a staple in reporting. The lines are so blurred between news-casting and editorializing that Americans, and those in other countries, must put on their helmets of discernment and dig behind the walls and the doors to find the truth. They must suspend their disbelief when they see all the wicked abominations being done.
 
A growing minority of radical leftists, including politicians, the media, the entertainment industry, educators, and unwitting social zombies, have used their platforms to establish a hostile environment for anyone who disagrees with their warped sense of truth and morality. Anytime anyone disagrees with them, they brand them with the hot iron of racist, xenophobe, misogynist, Islamophobe, homophobe, Nazi, bigot, deplorable, uneducated, sexist, birthers, truthers, and more. On any issue where there is disagreement, there is a social label with which these people can sear their fellow mankind. While calling others closed-minded, they are the most closed-minded. In the name of free speech, they abhor free speech, Their political intolerance and ideological bigotry is unmatched. A nation divided against itself cannot stand.
 
These are not just two stories that tell the tale of 2018. They are the sum of the parts, the thousands of cuts, against those who hold the hope of righteousness in their hearts. This will no doubt continue until it is stopped. They know no limits until they destroy even the things that benefit them. They are governed by a thoroughly evil spirit. As we enter 2019, know that you are a Romans 13:12 people: " The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light." Know that you are a 1 Peter 2:9 people: "...a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." Stand in the gap for truth and righteousness. Fight the good fight. Be encouraged for the Lord is with you.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Caring for those even the Church ignores: 
The Disabled in Ghana

By Pastor William Agbeti

[ NOTE: In addition to our ongoing clean water, feeding, and clothing efforts when you support The Daily Jot, you are helping wipe tears off the faces of suffering mothers and fathers seeking rehabilitation of their disabled children]
UN figures put persons living with disabilities in the world at 20% of the global population. 80% of this number can be found in developing countries. In Ghana alone, there are some 3 million persons living with various forms of disabilities. 
Our Ghana ministry serves where others will not.This two-day residential program for children with disabilities provide food, clothing and recreation



Their plight is demoralizing. Many in the Ghanaian society consider them taboos. Scores of local churches have not opened their doors to them. Several families neglect their disabled children, to fend for themselves. Sadly, some communities go to the extreme to put a newly born disabled child into a mortar and use a pestle to pound it to death, with the belief that their souls will not return to the communities again. In the main, the disabled are ostracized from the society. Only a handful of homes, families and communities treat them with a modicum of respect and acceptance. Read the rest of the story by clicking here
