| body | "MORNING PRAYER
In all that I now pray, I stand in total agreement with your Spirit and with all those praying for me by the Spirit of God and by the Spirit of God alone.
Dearest God Our Father, thank you for loving me and choosing me before you made the world. You are my true Father—my creator, redeemer, sustainer, and the true end of all things, including my life. I love you, I trust you, I worship you. I renounce all other gods, every idol, I ask your forgiveness for my every sin. Search me, know me, and reveal to me where you are working in my life, and grant to me the grace of your healing and deliverance and a deep and true repentance. Thank you for proving your love for me by sending Jesus. I receive him and all his life and all his work which you ordained for me. Thank you for making me alive with Christ, raising me with him, seating me with him at your right hand, establishing me in his authority, and anointing me with your love and your Spirit. I receive it all with thanks and give it total claim to my life—my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind, and will.
My dear Lord Jesus, I come to you now to be restored in you, renewed in you, to receive your life and your love and all the grace and mercy I so desperately need this day. I honor you as my Lord, and I surrender every aspect and dimension of my life to you. I cover myself with your blood—my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind, and will. Jesus, thank you for coming to ransom me with your own life. I receive all the work and triumph of your cross, death, blood, and sacrifice for me, through which my every sin is atoned for, I am ransomed, delivered from the kingdom of darkness, and transferred to your kingdom; my sin nature is removed, my heart circumcised unto God, and every claim being made against me is cancelled and disarmed. I take my place now in your cross and death, dying with you to sin, to my flesh, to this world, to the evil one and his kingdom. I take up the cross and crucify my flesh with all its pride, arrogance, unbelief, and idolatry [and anything else you are currently struggling with]. I put off the old man. Apply to me all the work and triumph in your cross, death, blood, and sacrifice; I receive it with thanks and give it total claim to my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind, and will. Jesus, I also receive all the work and triumph in your resurrection, through which you have conquered sin, death, judgment, and the evil one. And I have been raised with you to a new life, to live your life—dead to sin and alive to God. I take my place now in your resurrection and in your life. I receive your hope, love, faith, joy, your goodness, trueness, wisdom, power, and strength.
I now bring the authority, rule, and dominion of the Lord Jesus Christ and the full work of Christ over my life today: over my home, my household, my work, over all my kingdom and domain.I also bring the full work of Christ between me and every person, and I allow only the love of God and only the Spirit of God between us.
Holy Spirit, thank you for coming. I love you, I worship you, I trust you. I receive all the work and triumph in Pentecost, through which you have come, you have clothed me with power from on high, become my union with the Father and Jesus, my counselor, comforter, strength, and guide. I honor you as Lord, and I fully give to you every aspect and dimension of my spirit, soul, and body, my heart, mind, and will—to be filled with you, to walk in step with you in all things. Fill me afresh, Holy Spirit. Restore my union with the Father and the Son. Lead me into all truth, anoint me for all of my life and walk and calling, and lead me deeper into Jesus today. I receive you with thanks, and I give you total claim to my life.
I put on the full armor of God: the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel, helmet of salvation; I take up the shield of faith and sword of the Spirit, and I choose to be strong in the Lord and in the strength of your might, to pray at all times in the Spirit.
Heavenly Father, thank you for your angels. I summon them in the name of Jesus Christ and instruct them to destroy all that is raised against me, to guard me day and night. I ask you to send forth your Spirit to raise up prayer and intercession for me. I now call forth the kingdom of God throughout my home, my household, my domain in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving all glory and honor and thanks to him. In Jesus’ name, amen." |

| title | "The puzzling rise of bitcoin!?" |
|---|
| body | "THE stratospheric rise in the price of bitcoin is fodder for conversation the world over.
Most people talking about it are puzzled by this phenomenon; wondering how real it is, how they have missed out on it, and whether a new great big bubble has been created only to soon explode. Others reckon that a sea change of currencies sans regulation is in the offing.
Seven years ago, one bitcoin was worth almost nothing at US$0.003. Today, that one bitcoin is worth more than US$2,500.
To put things in perspective, bitcoin’s value has multiplied 879,999 times since 2010.
So, what are people actually buying?
http://promdevelop.ru/wp-content/uploads/1x-1.jpg
A bitcoin trader points out that many are looking to “hoard” bitcoins.
“Of course, you can spend bitcoins to purchase items at places where they are accepted. But a lot of traders are buying on speculation because the supply of bitcoin is limited,” the trader says.
There are 21 million bitcoins available, and so far, almost 70% of them have been “mined” from the Internet.
And because of the steep increase in bitcoin value, some associate it with the word “bubble”.
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban had said earlier this month that he thought bitcoin was in a “bubble”, yet he acknowledged then that there is value in the blockchain technology behind the digital currency.
One can perhaps relate the sudden hype surrounding bitcoin to “Tulipmania”, an episode in Dutch history in 1636-1637 where the price of tulip bulbs was propelled by speculators to dizzying heights.
https://30btc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/investing-in-bitcoin-startups.jpg
Eventually, the bubble burst and the price of tulip bulbs crashed. The price collapsed not because of the high price of tulips, but because there was no intrinsic value in a tulip bulb.
To be sure, the bubble theory can be applied to all assets. Today, some commentators argue that global equities and the housing markets in some places are in bubble territory. The Dow Jones Index, for instance, has been hitting new highs in the last eight years.
In the case of bitcoin, it can actually be used to buy goods and services, although within limited scope. That scope is expanding. Traders of bitcoin argue that its attractiveness lies in the potential of it becoming a global currency, as well as the technology behind the cryptocurrency.
While banknotes or fiat money may not have intrinsic value, it is backed by governments and central banks that tend to exert control over the value of their currencies to keep it at desired levels. And that could be the reason why pure cash is not necessarily a good long-term investment.
Back in 2010, there was not much you could do with bitcoins. A famous example is the story of a university student who bought a pizza using 10,000 bitcoins.
Today, cryptocurrencies are starting to make their way into mainstream usage. A recent example is when the Japanese government announced that bitcoins are accepted as legal payment.
After the news broke, bitcoin’s price continued to hit new highs.
https://www.digitalcoinsexchange.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Bitcoin-is.png
While the supply of bitcoin is limited (which explains its steep rise), it is not the only cryptocurrency available. There are more than 900 cryptocurrencies on the Internet. Many are being launched by initial coin offerings (ICOs), a process akin to an initial public offering of companies, minus all the regulation that comes with the latter. Cryptocurrency is decentralised digital money in cyberspace and not created by central banks.
Besides bitcoin, other increasingly popular cryptocurrencies include ethereum and litecoin.
Ethereum’s price has gone up more than 5,000% since the beginning of the year.
However, after peaking at US$391 in mid-June, the ethereum price has dropped more than 40% to US$291 a unit. In other words, cryptocurrencies tend to have volatile prices. Hence, it may not be the investment choice of everyone.
Going back to the story of Tulipmania, investors who had bought at the peak lost the most when the price came crashing down. Will the same happen with investors of cryptocurrencies?
It is hard to tell. The Economist recently wrote that ICOs could generate intriguing inventions and that fans hope that they will give rise to decentralised upstarts taking aim at today’s oligopolistic technology giants such as Amazon and Facebook.
However, the publication also said that this could be a dangerous way of generating innovation because of a potential crash in cryptocurrency prices. It balanced the view, though, with this: in the case of cryptocurrencies, such risks seem limited, as investors are aware of the risks and it is a fairly self-contained system, calling it a healthy bubble.
