D is For Duplicate

The other day while I was visiting one of my friends home I found a beautiful plant with lot of lovely and attractive flowers in it at the living room.  I was so attracted to it and moved close to the plant to touch the leaves and smell the flowers.  Suddenly I realized that it was not an original plant.  Yes, that was a duplicate one.   But no one will tell that is a duplicate one unless he goes close to it.

Yes, we are living in a world of duplicate things.  Everything duplicate available in the market, especially in India duplicate things will be available in plenty in every nook and corner of the country.  Any top class companies duplicate product, just a look alike product is available here in India

Suddenly my thoughts went towards the people around, yes, there are duplicate people too we can see in this world.   I mean to say that, outwardly a person looks like a very pious, simple and loving person.  But if you move closer to him we will understand that he is just opposite in all these qualities.

Duplicate items are cheaply available in the market so naturally many go after it.  But alas in the later stage they come to know that it was a duplicate one.  Even in Christendom, I mean in Christian faith there are duplicate things and people.  People are more and more interested in such things and people.  May be due the cheap availability or financial crisis people opt for such things.  But here is a CAUTION:  Just for a cheaper one or an easy one you may be cheated at a later stage and you will be missing the greatest and blessed one forever.

As I said,  'In the Christendom there are duplicate Christians, duplicate healing, miracle, duplicate or fake tongues, duplicate Christian gatherings, faith and belief.  At one look,  as mentioned in the  above story of the beautiful plant, one cannot recognize which is duplicate and which is real.  So be careful ! , people come to you with great promises and prosperities and other financial offerings.  But be sure to check closely and move cautiously before taking a final decision.

These days many false prophets are on the run to trap you in their net.  So be careful otherwise in a later stage you may be get cheated.

Be a  guard for yourself  by seriously looking into the Word of God and meditating upon it.  The Word of God reveals you what is true and what is false.  Check out for the original and true faith and belief, that will surely lead you to real joy and happiness.

Yes the eternal joy.

May  God bless you to take a right decision when you face with such dilemma.

One such vegetable which kills cancer is Cabbage.   It has a great history to tell for centuries.  It is believed that a dish "Sauerkraut" made by cabbage helped the Asian labors to build the great wall of China.  


During captain Cook’s voyage to the Antarctic  Circle  cabbage kept sailors from dying of Scurvy. 

During the middle age Europeans survived harsh winters by the usage of this vegetable.

The Ancient Roman 'Cato the elder' crushed cabbage leaves to treat cancerous ulcers years before.  Now  the modern science confirms this, that cabbage is an easy  but powerful way to prevent cancer.  To get the full benefit, it should not be boiled or over cooked, instead quickly  steam or stir fry.  This way you can retain more than 60% of its cancer fighting nutrients. 

Red cabbage has up to 28 times more flavonoids than other cabbages.  It is more beneficial to a  woman past menopause and it helps to lower breast cancer risk.

If takes along with apples broccoli, tea and onions you get enough flavonoids.

A recent research says that eating raw cabbage or quick cooked cabbage  three times a week may lower breast cancer.  Particularly if they start eating this at a younger age this cancer may not get to such people.

Now comes cauliflower,  when you bite a cauliflower you can say that you are eating  a flower. Yes a cauliflower head is a group of flowers that stopped growing while they were still buds.  Like its cousins, cabbage and broccoli cauliflower is loaded with some of the most powerful anti-cancer weapons.  Cabbage and cauliflower are rich in isothiocyanate  called benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC). A new researcg from Texas says people who eat such foods had almost 30% less risk of bladder cancer.  This is a good reason to eat more cabbage, cauliflower, kale, broccoli and watercress and Brussels sprouts.

Life or Death Questions Your Church MUST Ask- A Must Read To All Christians....

The American evangelical church is in a rather desperate condition. You’ve heard that America is a “Christian” nation and that Christianity is dominant.


Perhaps it’s the popular religion, but far fewer people are attending church than we realize. And we’re only planting one fourth of the number of new churches needed to keep pace with America’s current population growth and rate of decline in existing churches.....
