Maya Angelou, a celebrated author, poet, and activist born on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, left behind a profound legacy of inspirational quotes that continue to resonate with people worldwide.

 

Her words emphasize resilience, self-worth, courage, and the power of love and human connection. As of 2026, her quotes continue to be widely shared and referenced across media and educational platforms, reflecting their enduring relevance.

 

Maya Angelou’s quote, "Courage is the most important of all the virtues because, without it, you can't practice any other virtue consistently," remains profoundly relevant to mankind today as a foundational call to bravery in the face of adversity, injustice, and personal struggle.

 

Below is a compilation of some of her quotes

 

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.”

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

“We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated.”

“You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise.”

“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.”

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.”

“Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.”

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can’t practice any other virtue consistently.”

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

“Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it, possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.”

 

Angelou's emphasis on courage as the foundation of moral action provides a timeless manual for individual and societal resilience as contemporary civilization struggles with global issues like social injustice, mental health crises, and political conflict.

King Yellowman: Jamaica's reggae star reflects on his early life with albinism

Winston Foster, better known on stage as King Yellowman, was born on January 15, 1956, in Kingston, Jamaica. He was abandoned as a newborn, most likely due to his albinism. Prejudice against Albinos persists in the Caribbean and Africa.

 

Yellowman said in an interview in one of his videos that a garbage collector had discovered him in a shopping mall. One of my favorite reggae performers since the early 1980s in Nigeria, I was overcome with emotion when I heard this depressing comment from such a wonderful artist whose music transformed the reggae scene.

 

He experienced severe prejudice, ridicule, and social exclusion as an albino growing up in a mostly Black community. Peers and even some adults treated him as if he had been cursed or not entirely human.  He was regularly made fun of and given the disparaging moniker "Yellowman," which was used to denigrate him.

 

Despite these difficulties, Yellowman turned the stigma into a source of power. He turned his moniker into a potent stage presence by embracing his identity and using it as a source of pride. In the middle of the 1970s, he started playing at sound system dances, where he developed his abilities as a deejay, or toaster, utilizing wit and comedy to engage audiences.

 

His early career was characterized by studio rejection because of the color of his skin; producers would frequently turn him away, physically force him out, and occasionally even kick him.  But he persisted, and after coming fourth in the 1979 Tastee Talent Contest with the song "Barnabas Killing," he became well-known.

Yellowman used his music as a platform to question social norms. He reclaimed his identity through his music, memorably saying, "Hi, my name is Yellowman," in "Them a Mad Over Me." And they nickname me Mr. Sexy in the ghetto, transforming a derogatory word into a sign of self-assurance and sexual empowerment.

 

According to him, his music served as a means of breaking down that barrier and demonstrating that albinos may be viewed as strong, attractive people rather than as misfits. In addition to bringing him international attention and controversy, his audacious persona and irreverent, frequently sexually explicit lyrics, known as "slackness,” helped change attitudes regarding albinism in Jamaica and elsewhere.

 

In the 1980s, King Yellowman's unique sound, contentious lyrics, and calculated partnerships helped his music become well-known throughout the world. After finishing second in the 1978 Tastee Talent Contest and starting to perform at sound-system events, especially with Aces International, he initially became well-known in Jamaica.

 

His breakthrough came in 1981 when he signed with producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes, making history as the first dancehall musician to sign with Columbia Records, a major American record company.

 

His first album, Mister Yellowman, in 1982, was followed in 1983 by the world-famous Zungguzungguguzungguzeng, which went on to become one of Jamaica's most imitated songs. Hip-hop icons like 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., and KRS-One later remixed and sampled the song. His 1987 version of “Blueberry Hill” topped the Jamaican charts for several weeks, demonstrating his ability to cross over into mainstream pop and R&B audiences.

 

Yellowman faced a potentially fatal situation in 1986 when he was told he had only six months to live due to skin cancer that had migrated to his jaw. He underwent significant surgery that left him permanently scarred, but he recovered remarkably and resumed his musical career with the song "Blueberry Hill."

 

Later, his focus turned to more socially conscious subjects, as evidenced by albums like "Freedom of Speech" (1997), which was nominated for a Grammy, and "No More War" (2019), which showcased his transformation from a contentious figure to a voice for awareness and peace. Despite the difficulties of his past, Yellowman is still performing all over the world with his Sagittarius Band and has released another fantastic song, "Kiss Me Each Morning."

His music struck a chord in Nigeria and other African countries, where dancehall and reggae had an expanding fan base. His audacious demeanor and dynamic stage presence also contributed to the development of a devoted global fan base. I may say that Yellowman gained international notoriety because of the smash song "Reggae Calypso."

His status as a worldwide dancehall hero was cemented by his international performances, which took place in nations including Nigeria, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Germany, the UK, France, Kenya, the US, Canada, and other parts of the world. 

 

King Yellowman's current success in the reggae industry is proof that being different from others may lead to prejudice in life. Discrimination, however, can never stifle talent or deter someone who is committed to using his vocation to transform the world.

 

COVID-19's lingering shadow: Respiratory and cardiac health aftermath

 

Many individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 continue to experience persistent breathing problems

People who have recovered from COVID-19 frequently experience long-term respiratory and cardiac difficulties, and many continue to have symptoms and physiological abnormalities months after the original infection.

 

At first, COVID-19 was thought to be a respiratory illness, much like bird flu. However, the lungs, brain, nasopharynx, eyes, cardiovascular system, and digestive systems (liver and intestines) have all been found to be impacted by the virus. In essence, every essential organ is impacted by the virus.

 

The majority of patients who had recovered from a coronavirus infection reported feeling weak and lightheaded, having a fast heartbeat, and occasionally losing consciousness. The most common long-term effect is lung involvement, with patients experiencing persistent problems like exhaustion, coughing, and shortness of breath.

 

Sometimes, especially in hospitalized patients, the infection results in lung nodules and scarring, which can restrict lung capacity and hinder oxygen delivery. Wuhan University of Technology research shows that 66 out of 70 individuals who recovered from the infection showed apparent lung damage on their CT scans.

 

This is called pulmonary fibrosis, which is currently incurable and can cause dyspnea. Although fibrosis can normalize, the alterations do not entirely disappear. More research is required to corroborate the claims made by certain scientists that the healing process can take up to 15 years.

 

Regrettably, there have been instances of developing fibrosis, which poses a risk to life and health. 36% of patients report having dyspnea following an infection. In this instance, a shortage of oxygen causes a change in breathing depth and frequency. For several months, the symptoms have continued.

Heart and blood vessels

Patients with conditions affecting the kidneys, blood, or cardiovascular system have been shown to be more vulnerable to the coronavirus and its consequences. As a result, it is not always easy to ascertain whether the infection caused these alterations or if they had already happened.

 

Based on data, it indicates that 20% of the 500 individuals assessed at Wuhan Hospital had cardiac muscle injury. Nearly half of the 36 individuals who took part in the study had arrhythmia in the intensive care units. A cytokine storm, the body's defensive reaction that can turn harmful if it spirals out of control, can account for these alterations.

 

One of the causes of viral myocarditis, which results in arrhythmia, blood circulation disruption, and dyspnea, is coronavirus. Changes can also be seen in the blood, as research done in Singapore revealed that pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis were present in half of the coronavirus-related deaths.

 

Patients are still at a high risk of heart attacks and strokes even after they have recovered. People with diabetes are more likely to get cardiovascular problems.

Nervous system

Neurological symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, and cognitive impairment, were reported by one-third of coronavirus patients. A few patients had persistent headaches.

 

The loss and perversion of taste and smell are potential nervous system problems. According to statistics, these symptoms tend to go away with time, but they can linger, particularly if cognitive abilities are compromised. Age, lifestyle factors, and the severity of the illness course all play a major role in their recovery.

Kidneys

Kidney issues accounted for the majority of patients admitted to Wuhan hospitals. Out of 701 individuals, 43.9% had protein in their urine, a sign of an infection. Blood in the urine was present in 26.7% of patients, indicating serious kidney injury. Patients with acute chronic failure are known to be more likely to die.

 

For this reason, doctors recommend a kidney ultrasound and a urine test even in the absence of alarming symptoms. This is because kidney diseases might occasionally have no evident symptoms, making an early diagnosis difficult.

Liver

During infection, the liver tissues have receptors that are susceptible to COVID-19 proteins. Liver injury and malfunction have been observed in numerous patients. The issue is further complicated by pre-existing liver problems.

How to treat complications after COVID-19

Patients are encouraged to have further tests done after they have recovered to identify any potential issues. Lung CT scans, lung tissue elasticity tests, and general and biochemical blood and urine tests are advised to be held.

 

Following the coronavirus, these tests and examinations aid in evaluating the body's functioning, spotting changes and consequences early on, and developing a treatment strategy.

 

Malnutrition and Obesity: A worldwide health epidemic in developed and developing nations

 

Malnutrition and obesity represent a dual global health challenge.

Malnutrition in developing nations and obesity in wealthy nations are both major public health problems, even though they manifest differently in each location.

 

In developing countries, malnutrition presents a dual burden, where undernutrition (such as stunting, underweight, and micronutrient deficiencies) coexists with overnutrition (overweight and obesity) within individuals, households, or populations.

 

This phenomenon, known as the double burden of malnutrition (DBM), is increasingly observed in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) undergoing nutrition transition due to urbanization, economic development, and changes in dietary patterns.

 

For example, in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and Bangladesh, the prevalence of stunted children and overweight mothers has been documented, with rates as high as 29.6% in Malaysia and 11% in Indonesia, and also on the continent of Africa. 

 

The coexistence of under- and over-nutrition is linked to socioeconomic factors such as household food security, dietary diversity, maternal education, and urban or rural settings.

 

In some cases, undernutrition during early life may predispose individuals to later obesity through metabolic adaptations, increasing the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension.

 

In contrast, developed nations face a growing obesity epidemic, with over 30% of adults in countries like the United States classified as obese. The prevalence of obesity among youth and adults in the U.S. has remained high, with no significant decline between 2003–2004 and 2011–2012.

 

Obesity in developed countries is often more prevalent among lower-income groups, despite higher overall economic development. The rise in obesity is driven by changes in food composition, increased availability of energy-dense processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles.

However, even in high-income countries, undernutrition and micronutrient deficiencies persist, particularly among vulnerable populations, indicating that malnutrition in all its forms is a global issue.

 

The dual burden of malnutrition is not limited to developing countries; it is also emerging in some middle-income nations and is increasingly recognized as a global health concern.

 

 The World Health Organization emphasizes the need for integrated policies that address both under- and overnutrition simultaneously, as traditional interventions have often focused on one form of malnutrition at a time, leading to fragmented and sometimes counterproductive outcomes.

 

Public health strategies should promote high-quality diets rich in fruits, vegetables, and essential nutrients while limiting fats, sugars, and sodium, which benefit both undernourished and overweight individuals.

 

Government interventions such as food taxation (e.g., soda taxes in Mexico) and food subsidies can help improve access to healthier foods and mitigate obesogenic environments.

 

As urbanization accelerates globally, especially in developing regions, the impact of changing lifestyles and food systems on nutritional health will require sustained monitoring and preventive action.

Archeological discoveries confirming genuine accounts in the bible

 

The Inscription of Pontius Pilate, or Stone

People have questioned the Bible's accuracy for ages. While some view each phrase as a sacred revelation, others argue that it is merely a compilation of inflated tales and fables. Nonetheless, several archaeological findings in Israel have provided substantial evidence in support of authentic biblical narratives.

 

Together, these findings offer compelling, tangible proof that many Biblical stories are based on historical fact, confirming the existence and operations of ancient Israelite kingdoms, religious customs, and significant individuals. More significantly, numerous aspects of the New Testament story have received strong support from archeology.

 

The archeological discoveries listed below attest to the veracity of biblical stories.

 

The Dead Sea Scrolls

 

Perhaps the most well-known Bible-related discovery in contemporary history is the Dead Sea Scrolls. Nearly all of the Old Testament's books, along with other ancient writings, were found in caves close to the Dead Sea in the 1940s and 1950s. There were only slight variations between these 2,000-year-old scrolls and contemporary Bible translations, according to academics. Overall, the Dead Sea Scrolls have demonstrated how closely the modern Bible resembles the original, which is remarkable given how many times it has been translated, reprinted, and revised throughout the ages.

 

King David

 

The renowned king who is thought to have established the Jewish monarchy, King David, was long dismissed by Bible critics as a fabrication. However, in the 1990s, researchers found the Tel Dan Stele, a piece of an old stone slab that has an inscription referring to the "House of David." This was a breakthrough. It not only proved that David was a real historical person, but it also demonstrated that the biblical story of the Davidic dynasty's founding was based on actual occurrences.

 

The Pool Of Siloam

 

According to the Gospel of John, Jesus healed a blind man by instructing him to wash at the Pool of Siloam. Critics thought this pool was only a metaphor or symbol for a long time. However, in 2004, researchers discovered the real Pool of Siloam in Jerusalem, proving that it was present when Jesus lived. The finding of the pool lends historical validity to the biblical story, even though it does not establish that the healing miracle took place there.

 

The Inscription of Pontius Pilate, or Stone

 

Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who sentenced Jesus to crucifixion, is one of the most famous figures in the New Testament. However, for a long time, there was no archaeological evidence of his existence, leading to doubts about whether he was a real historical figure.

 

However, in 1961, an inscription known as the "Pilate Stone" was discovered in the ancient Roman city of Caesarea Maritima on the coast of Israel. This inscription is a dedication to Emperor Tiberius from Pilate himself, confirming his real existence and his rule over Judea during the time of Jesus. While this does not prove the biblical description of Pilate, it does establish that he was a historical figure.

 

Peter's House in Capernaum

 

The New Testament describes how Jesus performed several miracles in the town of Capernaum, including the healing of Peter's mother-in-law in his house. Skeptics have questioned this story, arguing that there is no evidence of such a house. However, in the 1960s, archaeologists discovered the ruins of a house in Capernaum that is believed to have belonged to Peter.

 

This house was located near an ancient synagogue, where Jesus is said to have preached. In the 4th century, a church was built on the site of the house, indicating its importance. While it cannot be definitively stated that this was Peter's house, the discovery confirms that the area held significant significance during the early Christian period, aligning with biblical accounts.

 

The Hittite Empire

 

Scholars and skeptics thought for a long time that the Bible's references to the Hittites were made up. Although the Bible portrays them as a major force in the ancient Near East, no archaeological proof of their presence was discovered for a very long time. This changed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when archaeologists excavated the ruins of Hattusa, the capital of the Hittite Empire, in present-day Turkey.

 

The discovery of the Hittite city, as well as thousands of clay tablets, provided irrefutable evidence that the Hittites were a real civilization, confirming the biblical descriptions of them as one of the great powers of the ancient world.

 

Cyrus Cylinder

 

The Book of Ezra describes how the Persian king Cyrus allowed the Jews to return to Jerusalem after their exile to Babylon. This claim seemed more like a hope than a documented historical fact until the discovery of the Cyrus Cylinder, an ancient artifact with an inscription of Cyrus's decree, in 1879.

 

The cylinder describes how Cyrus allowed various conquered peoples, including the Israelites, to return to their homelands and rebuild their temples, confirming the biblical portrayal of Cyrus as a king who helped the Jews return to their land. This provides compelling evidence that the historical accounts in the Bible about the Persian Empire and the Jewish exile are based on real events.

The Pool of Bethesda

 

The Gospel of John tells the story of a man who was healed in the Pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. For a long time, critics doubted the existence of this pool, as there was no archaeological evidence to support its description in the Bible. However, in the 19th century, excavations near the Church of St. Anne in Jerusalem revealed a large complex of pools that closely matched the biblical description.

 

The bathhouse was a double structure with five porticos, as described in the Bible, which confirmed the reality of the Bethesda bathhouse. Although the existence of the bathhouse does not prove the authenticity of the miracle, it strengthens the idea that the events described in the New Testament took place in real historical locations.

 

The Nazareth Inscription

 

The Nazareth Inscription, which was found in 1878, is a lesser-known but fascinating discovery. This marble slab displays a Roman emperor's proclamation that forbade the taking of corpses from tombs and threatened to execute anybody who did so. Many academics think the inscription is connected to claims of Jesus' resurrection, even though it does not specifically address him.

 

The fact that the Roman authorities felt the need to issue such a decree at the time the New Testament was being written strongly suggests that the belief in Jesus' resurrection was already widespread in the region. The Roman reaction to the rumors of the theft of bodies from the tombs echoes one of the first accusations leveled against Jesus' followers: that they took His body after His crucifixion.

 

The Moabite Stone

 

The Moabite Stone is another significant discovery that confirms the historical accuracy of the Bible. This black basalt stele was discovered in 1868. It is engraved with the inscription of King Mesha of Moab, describing his victory over the Israelites in the 9th century BC. The inscription corresponds to the story in the Bible in 2 Kings 3, where King Mesha rises up against Israel.

 

The text on the stele also confirms the biblical story of the battle between Moab and Israel, where the Moabites emerge victorious and regain their independence. The discovery of the Moabite Stone provides valuable external evidence of the existence of a historical figure, the Moabite king.

 

The Laodicea Archaeological Site

 

Laodicea is mentioned as one of the seven churches in the Book of Revelation, but its exact location remained a mystery for many years, and many doubted its existence. However, in the 19th century, archaeologists identified the site of ancient Laodicea in present-day Turkey. Excavations at this site revealed an impressive city with a theater, public baths, and a well-preserved stadium.

 

These findings show that Laodicea was a wealthy and influential city during the Roman period, well-known in early Christian circles. The discovery of Laodicea adds historical context to the messages in the Book of Revelation, confirming that the cities mentioned in the New Testament were real and prosperous communities.

While the truth is like blazing sunlight, many people choose obscurity

 

The truth is like a blazing sunlight

The experience of feeling bitter when confronted with the truth stems from its often harsh, uncomfortable, or painful nature, which challenges personal beliefs, illusions, or desired realities.

 

While the truth can lead to growth and self-understanding, many people resist it because it disrupts their sense of control, exposes imperfections, or forces them to face difficult realities, resulting in emotional upheaval and denial.

 

This resistance is not merely intellectual but deeply emotional, as the truth can feel like a personal attack or a threat to one’s identity, leading to defensiveness, anger, or resentment.

 

The truth is often perceived as bitter because it can be difficult to accept, especially when it contradicts one’s hopes, desires, or self-image.

 

People may react with emotional pain, denial, or even hostility when confronted with truths that expose flaws, failures, or uncomfortable realities, such as personal shortcomings or societal injustices.

 

The bitterness arises not from the truth itself, but from the emotional and psychological toll of confronting it, particularly when it shatters illusions of perfection or control.

 

Some individuals may internalize this bitterness, directing it inward as self-blame or shame, especially when they feel they have failed to live up to their own standards or others’ expectations.

 

Despite the pain, the truth is often described as necessary medicine for the soul, capable of fostering repentance, change, and long-term healing when accepted with empathy and courage.

 

The resistance to truth is not limited to personal matters; it extends to societal and political realms, where truthful criticism, especially of leaders or institutions, is often met with hostility, as seen in historical and religious narratives.

 

These outward manifestations reflect an internal state of overwhelming sadness, disappointment, and frustration, which can lead to hopelessness and a lack of motivation.

 

Jesus' Miracles: An ancient history, or timeless experience?

 

Jesus was asleep in the boat, and a storm arose, and they went and woke Him, saying, ‘Save us, Lord; we are perishing.’ And He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?’ Then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

The Bible records 37 distinct miracles performed by Jesus across the four Gospels, a number commonly cited by scholars and religious sources. These miracles include healings, exorcisms, control over nature, and raising the dead, and they are presented as signs of Jesus' divine authority and identity as the Messiah.

 

The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John document these events in chronological order, with Mark recording the most miracles. While some sources note that Jesus performed many other miracles not recorded in the Gospels, such as the statement in John 21:25 that "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.”

 

The Gospel documents the miracles that Jesus Christ performed during His earthly ministry. All of His actions were aimed at benefiting people and strengthening their faith in God. Having unlimited opportunities to create miracles, Christ never used them for His own amusement or glorification. In fact, there were many more miracles, but we will only consider those described in the Holy Scriptures.

 

The New Testament words on miracles

 

The New Testament makes it clear what constitutes true miracles performed for a good purpose, and what actions should not be considered miracles. The following are highlighted in the texts: A miracle is an event that indicates something extraordinary, an action that is beyond the capabilities of an ordinary person and nature.

 

The sign should be understood in the sense of the miracle itself, its semantic designation. Power is not just an action that requires a lot of energy, but a powerful act with significant meaning and results.

 

The first miracle of Jesus

 

The first miracle of Jesus Christ is well known not only to believers. It is the transformation of water into wine. Christ was always accompanied by the Virgin Mary. She was the most faithful and devoted preacher, although she was not one of the apostles. In Cana of Galilee, near Nazareth, a wedding was being celebrated. Jesus, his mother, and his disciples were invited to the wedding.

 

Unfortunately, the groom's family was not wealthy enough to provide a large amount of wine. As the guests continued to celebrate, Maria approached her son with a request to help the hosts. She called for the servants and instructed them to follow Jesus's instructions without question.

 

There were several stone vessels in the house. Christ ordered the people to fill them with water. Then, when all the jugs were full, He said to fill a vessel from any of them and bring it to the steward. He specified when, what, and to whom to serve, after tasting it first. When the steward tasted the drink that was presented to him, he immediately ordered that the guests' cups be filled with it.

 

He then turned to the host and expressed his surprise. Usually, the best wine is served first, but he had saved it for later. The first miracle of Jesus was performed to confirm and glorify the Son of God. The disciples, who were still in doubt, believed in Christ and his teachings.

 

Jesus' 37 Miracles in Chronological Order

 

According to John, "If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written," making it challenging to determine the chronological order of the 37 miracles that Jesus Christ accomplished. But the remaining miracles he performed are listed below:

 

 

The Healing of the Son of the Canaanite Steward (Cana) John 4:43-54

 

The Miraculous Catch of Fish (The Miraculous Catching of Fish; Lake Galilee/Gennesaret) Luke 5:1-11

 

The healing of the demoniac in the synagogue of Capernaum, Mark 1:21-28;

Luke 4:31-37

 

Healing of Peter's mother-in-law and the multitude Matthew 8 14-15;

Mark 1 30-31; Luke 4 38-39

 

The Healing of the Leper Matthew 8:2-4; Mark 1:40-45; Luke 5:12-15

The Healing of the Gadarene Demoniacs (The Healing of the Demoniacs in the Country of Gadarenes/Gergesenes) Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-20; Luke 8:26-37

 

The miracle occurred in the land of Gadara (according to Mark and Luke) or Gergesa (according to Matthew). After the ship crossed the Sea of Galilee, a demon-possessed man came out to meet Christ, asking for his salvation. The demon-possessed man's name was Legion, which represents the multitude of unclean spirits.

 

Before being cleansed, the demons requested that the Son of God allow them to enter the nearby pigs. Their wish was granted, and 2,000 pigs jumped off the cliff and into the sea. The Savior told the former demon-possessed man to return to the city and tell people about the miracle. But the locals were afraid of Him. They asked Him to leave the city.

 

The Healing of the Paralytic at Capernaum Matthew 9:1-8; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-26

 

The healing of the paralytic in Capernaum has a special meaning. Christ asked his friends to bring him a paralytic who had been suffering from his condition for several years. With his Word, he restored the man's life, but in doing so, he attracted the attention of the Pharisees.

 

The Resurrection of Jairus's Daughter (Capernaum) Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43; Luke 8:41-56

 

In the synagogue where Christ was preaching, there was a chief. He asked the Son of God to resurrect his daughter, who had died recently. Jesus replied that the chief's daughter was alive but asleep. The chief's request was met with ridicule, but Jesus, accompanied by the girl's parents and three apostles, went to the chief's home. There, he performed a miracle of resurrection, which spread throughout Capernaum.

 

The Healing of the Bleeding Woman Matthew 9:20-22; Mark 5:25-29; Luke 8:43-48

 

The miracle is related to a twelve-year-old girl who approached Christ for healing. The girl had been bleeding for several days. She touched the hem of his garment and was healed. In disbelief, she thanked God for the miracle. Christ replied that it was her faith that had brought her healing.

 

The Healing of the Two Blind Men Matthew 9:27-31

 

Two blind men begged the Savior to restore their sight. Jesus replied that they could not be healed without faith. The men believed in God, and Jesus touched their eyes. Immediately, they regained their sight and were overjoyed. However, Jesus forbade them to tell anyone about the miracle. Despite his warning, the blind men shared the story of their healing.

 

The Healing of the Dumb and Demon-Possessed Man Matthew 9:32-33

 

A mute demon-possessed man was brought to the Savior. The demon prevented him from speaking. After the demon was cast out, the man regained the ability to speak.

 

The healing of the paralytic at the sheep's/ram's pool (at the pool of Bethesda, Jerusalem) John 5:1-16

 

Healing the Paralytic (Judea) Matt. 12:9-14; Mark. 3:1-6; Luke 6:6-11

 

The healing took place on a Saturday, in the presence of the Pharisees, who condemned Christ's activities. After the healing of the paralytic, Christ rebuked them, emphasizing that the traditions of the past should not hinder people from receiving healing. Helping others should be done on any day of the week.

 

Healing of the demon-possessed deaf-mute-blind man (Capernaum) Matthew 12:22-23

 

The miracle is remarkable because after the evil spirit was exorcised, the man began to see and speak again.

 

The miraculous feeding of five thousand people with five loaves (Decapolis/Decagraphe) Matthew 14:14-21; Mark 6:32-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15

 

This miracle is mentioned by all the evangelists. During a sermon in a deserted place, the people wanted to leave to buy food and return. With his power, Christ was able to feed five thousand people who were present at the sermon with five loaves and two fish.

 

The Walking of Jesus Christ on the Waters Mt 14: 22-36; Mk 6: 45-56; John 6: 16-21

 

One day, when the disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee, they saw Christ standing on the water. The Apostle Peter expressed a desire to approach his teacher, and he was granted permission to do so. However, Peter's faith was weak, and he could not stand on the water. Peter began to sink. The Son of God saved him and rebuked him for his lack of faith. From that moment on, Peter's faith in Christ grew even stronger.

 

Healing the Canaanite's Daughter (near Tyre) Matthew 15:21-28; Mark 7:24-30

 

The miracle revealed to the world the truth that even a pagan woman who showed humility before the Almighty could be blessed by Him. The woman prayed for her sick daughter. Initially, Jesus refused her request, as he did not see any faith in her. However, he was impressed by her humility and granted her wish. The daughter of the Canaanite woman was immediately healed.

 

The Healing of the Deaf-Mute Stammerer (Decapolis) Mark 7:31-37

A miracle was revealed to His disciples near a lake. The disciples, while sailing in a boat, cast a net into the lake and caught 153 fish.

 

As Christians and faithful believers in Christ, do we feel his miracle today?

 

Many people in today's generation think that once Jesus Christ finished his earthly existence, he is no longer working miracles. They contend that wickedness has surpassed that of the past and that love for people has become cold. More significantly, people no longer experience Jesus' miracles, which is why God is distant from humanity today.

 

Whatever the arguments are, “Jesus has promised salvation to those who believe in Him, as clearly stated in Scripture. The Bible affirms that "whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

 

This salvation is accessible through faith and confession: "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” The promise is universal, extending to "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord."

This salvation is not earned by works but is a gift of grace through faith, and it is secured by Christ's sacrifice, ensuring that those who believe will be saved. That means that the miracle of Jesus will never cease and will always abide with humanity. Call His name in time of need based on faith, and He will answer you.

 

The dilemma of a search engine company

 

The technological power of search engines

In September 2025, I made it clear to a particular search engine on “X,” the former Twitter, that “It will lose more than three million customers before the dispute between them and me is resolved. I further stressed that I am aware of my plans; however, they should place the responsibility on Belgium instead of me because what they are doing to me is a crime.

 

In a world of domination and abuse of authority, victims are powerless; however, it is said that the pen is mightier than the sword. In my entire life in Europe for twenty-five years, I have never gone against the law, but I have suffered enough and often been treated like a criminal because of writing accurately and avoiding misleading articles.

 

The world is not only dealing with and facing the threat of dangerous vaccines and medications, but also with dangerous websites carrying false medical information provided by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control to cover up their medical crimes. So, they see every genuine health writer as a threat.

 

The false medical information is ranked high in search engines, while pharmaceutical companies, search companies, and governments declare war on genuine health writers. That is why today, I have become a victim of injustice and the abuse of authority with impunity because they have the power to do whatever they want.

 

Since my first genuine health blog, the “Secrets of AIDS and Ebola,” was deliberately destroyed to cover up the medical crime of governments and health institutions, I know that the same thing can happen to my current blog, “Juskosave’s Ghana Crowdsourcing News,” because it has many articles exposing the government, search engines, military, and pharmaceutical crimes.

 

So if today, I am facing the suppression of information, the visibility of my blog has been reduced from search engines, and the reading views of my blog have been reduced from thousands to just fifty, then any intelligent person should understand what is happening. It is no longer a secret that the giant search company is losing millions of users, as I said.

 

The giant search engine company is experiencing a significant decline in user engagement and market share, with recent data indicating a sustained drop in its global search engine market share below 90%, representing a shift of approximately 50 million users who have actively chosen alternative search engines.  Growing concerns among users over privacy, monopolistic control, and data exploitation drive this trend.

 

Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time." My bitter experience has given me the urge to transfer many articles being suppressed on my blog to other websites so that no one can access them to manipulate them, and doing so has been the best thing I have ever done.

 

When the giant search engine company sent me an email stating that "New reasons prevent pages from being indexed," I laughed. How many people have they been deceiving with the same messages? Have they forgotten that the same email appears every time I write about how traffic is being used as a weapon against me?

 

Since it's now hard to access my site, readers have long been aware of its covert operations.  Sadly, the worst is still to come. A couple of my readers have stuck with me, and for that I am grateful to God. Happy Christmas to all of you.
