NAMBA: A VILLAGE WHERE MANNA STILL FALLS.







Namba is a small and drought-stricken village in Southern part of Angola, a Seventh Day Adventist missionary who spent nearly a lifetime in Africa established a mission in this village. This white missionary left and for some years the mission was under the care of a local director. One year the rains failed to come, the crops did not grow, and the mission stores were emptied and no money to buy food if it could have been found.
The mission director had been away for some weeks on a trip visiting distant mission schools. The believers at the Missao Adventista da Namba came to the end of their resources and food supply. The director's wife called the families together and told them the situation. Then she read to the people the promises of the Lord and told them of the manna which had been sent by God to His people in the time of Moses, assuring them that God could send them food in the same way, if necessary.

After prayer, a little girl, about five years of age, went out of the house and in a short time came back with her hands filled with white stuff, which she was eating."What are you eating?" asked the mother. The little lad replied: "Out there I saw some European men, and they said, `The Lord has answered your prayer and has sent you manna; take it up and eat it.' "

Immediately, others went out and found many acres of the ground covered with this white substance. In every detail it corresponded to the coriander-like seeds of the original Manna. Its taste was like wafers and honey. When the people went out to gather the manna, they found no trace of the Europeans. They gathered large quantities of this remarkable food, and their lives were sustained for some time until other food could be obtained. This first happened on Sunday 19th of March, 1945, when God Almighty performed a miracle at Namba, for God caused to rain from Heaven the bread of heaven which is called 'Manna.' The people of Namba ate and filled plates of it. There ate of it many men and women and young children.

Manna stopped falling when the Adventist Mission Station was destroyed by the rebels during the Civil war which lasted for almost two decades in Angola. When the Mission station was rebuilt and rededi- cated to the Lord in the year 2010, on that very day, there was a miracle, Manna fell in a large quantity and like never before and people were afraid to come out of their Homes to collect Manna, only little children came out to collect.

A visit by SID media shows that Manna still falls in this village till today on every Wednesday and Friday if it is not raining. A native of the village confirms that God has been providing for them till date and people are still eating manna in the village.


Some people, who visited the village to verify the claim, tasted the food and said it is indescribable, it is just a miracle. In their claim, they said it is honey-like or cake-like But honestly it can't describe. It is white and sweet; the real taste cannot be compared. We give glory to God who still makes provision for His people.

The nature of mindsets, part 1.The deeper reason to examine our mindsets is so we can mount a self-aware response to the great challenges of our day. We simply can’t respond to our personal and global problems in a meaningful way unless we also learn how to examine our mindsets as an integral part of how we live our lives

The nature of mindsets by Ash Buchanan A primer on how our underlying beliefs, attitudes and assumptions create our everyday lives — and our shared world Mindsets shape the lives we lead, the actions we take and the future possibilities of the world we live in. In this primer, we provide an overview of what mindsets are, why they matter and explore a range of practices you can use to be mindful about how and why you use them. What is a Mindset? “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” — Mahatma Gandhi Eight principles can be used to describe the underlying nature of mindsets. 1) Mindsets are habits of mind The word mindset was first used in the 1930’s to mean “habits of mind formed by previous experience.” In simple terms, mindsets are deeply held beliefs, attitudes and assumptions we create about who we are and h...

HOW PRAYING IN TONGUES CAN BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

It has been reported by medical science recently that praying can affect a sick person’s outcome for the better. One study showed that even when the sick person did not know people were praying for him/her, their health improved. As believers, we know personally what prayer has done for us in our times of sickness (Js. 5:15-16). But did you know that “praying in tongues” can actually make you healthier? Speaking in Tongues Can Boost Your Immune System A few years ago, a brain surgeon at Oral Roberts University did a study of what happens in the brain when people pray in tongues. He found that they secreted two chemicals that can boost the immune system by 35-40%! Think about the effects this can have on opportunistic diseases such as cancer. God created the immune system to be our defense against harmful invaders: bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and even malignant. It is when the immune system is weakened that such pathogens can attack and overwhelm our bodies. We all know tha...
