Alfred TB Williams, revival and Nigerian pastors

I note that Christ Faith Tabernacle website still refers to Alfred Williams' prophecy about a coming revival in the UK and his revelations.

We did not see a revival in 2011, as Alfred Williams predicted, and the situation in Nigeria is very bad at the moment (particularly in the north of the country).  According to one of my friends who is a Nigerian doctor, there are many difficulties when working throughout Nigeria.  And he has been working recently in the northern areas. Corruption, lawlessness and Boko Haram terrorism are evident.

Does charity begin at home?  I have noticed that some Nigerian pastors in England do very little to help the desperately needy Nigerian people who live in abject poverty. Some prosperity preachers in Nigeria have personal jet planes while their home town folk and tribes are living in terrible conditions.   According to my friend there are plans to tax these prosperity parasites very heavily.

I understand that Alfred Williams does minister from time to time in Nigeria.  I hope he sees the revival there that he has preached about. Nigeria clearly needs a revival, as does the UK.

Those who know Oxford well may have noticed that the outdoor scenes for the Moonlight nightclub in yesterday's episode of Endeavour were filmed in Pusey Street and featured a rarely used entrance at Regent's Park College.

Photographs of London School of Theology, Northwood.

Last July I went to LST, which was London Bible College when I was an undergraduate during the 1970s. I hope that you like the photographs.

Lovejoy locations

Lovers of Lovejoy, who are interested in locations used in the TV series, may wish to know that the recently shown episode Members Only was filmed at Briggens House Hotel, Stanstead Abbotts, Hertfordshire, SG12 8LD.  The episode was originally broadcast in 1992.  Briggens House, a grade II listed building, is now sadly in a sorry state of repair, but the golf course is still in use.

You may like to see the satellite view of the grounds in Google maps.  Put in the postcode SG12 8LD in the Google search facility and then click on the satellite view of the map.

Sir Alex seethes and sees red as Manchester United go out.

Manchester United are out of the UEFA Champions League after a home defeat by two goals to one at Old Trafford.  Real Madrid scored twice in the second half coming from a goal down, and won 3-2 on aggregate.  The turning point was the red card shown to Nani after his foot went into the chest of Real Madrid's Arbeloa. United were one nil up at the time.  Nani was a surprise choice to play in this crucial game, which marked Ryan Giggs' 1,000th appearance for United. Rooney was on the bench , another surprise, until well into the second half when United were losing.  Nani had played well in the goalless first half, but his night ended in disaster. Sir Alex was seething and did not speak to the press or TV channels after the match.

Roy Keane believed that the referee Cuneyt Cakir had made the correct decision in awarding the red card but other commentators thought that a yellow card should have been given.  Sir Alex will probably not sleep sweetly tonight. But Jose Mourinho will enjoy his success along with Cristiano Ronaldo who scored the final goal which ensured Real's progression into the quarter finals. Luka Modric scored the other goal for Real, which was a superbly struck against the inside of the right post and beyond the goal line. No United player managed to score as Sergio Ramos scored an own goal for United.

Bashar al-Assad continues to oppress the Syrian people

Despite so much opposition, a dreadful refugee situation and thousands dead from the civil conflict, Bashar al-Assad refuses to step aside and talk to the rebels.  He is unwilling to meet rebel leaders unless they lay down their arms.  Now that's "naive, confused and unrealistic."  Words he used to describe Britain's position and support for opposition fighters with non-lethal aid.  The US is also committed to providing food and medical aid to the opposition.  Sadly many more Syrians will die in this conflict, which does not seem to trouble Bashar.

The Blue Lagoon, Abereiddy, Pembrokeshire, Wales

Looking through my blog posts I have noticed that photographs of the Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy, Pembrokeshire, are notably absent. I cannot understand how this omission has happened. It is one of my favourite places in Pembrokeshire, a place where I have been many times.  My video of the Blue Lagoon on YouTube has the most number of hits of all my uploads. I feel that I should now share my photographs of the Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy.
