BLACK STARS – AFRICA’S SALVATION!

At long last, just as we decided to make a U-turn and return to the vendors’ table, it has coincided with the final stages of the fantastic 2010 World Cup hosted in Africa, and South Africa to be precise.

And whether Africa will survive a crucial operation and be blessed in this hour of destiny has fallen on the lap of the Black Stars of this wonderful Coast of Gold.
All the six representatives of Africa could not survive at the Group level, with the exception of the Black Stars. – Glory be!!

The Indomitable Lions of Cameroun hit the rock and collapsed with three defeats, Algeria lost twice and drew once, Nigeria lost twice and drew one, South Africa lost one, drew once and lost one, and Cote d’Ivoire could not survive with one draw, one loss and one win.

And as destiny might have it, our blessed Coast of Gold had a chequered progress, winning once, drawing once and losing once and entered the one-sixteenth stage to beat the United States of America to raise the banner of Africa.

It is the sterling quality of the Black Stars performance that has shot them to the quarter-finals as a lone ranger of the continent. Now it is the Black Heroes of Africa against Uruguay at the Nelson Mandela Bay tomorrow, and the whole world is watching with keen interest, knowing that it was with fasting and prayers that has made it all possible up to this level.

At the quarter-finals are three European countries, four from South America, and one from Africa. The three Asian contestants who started with promise are all gone.

To God be the glory that the twinkle-twinkle little Stars have reached where they are now, and as we commit the Black Stars into the hands of the Almighty, so do we bestow the life of NUGS onto the care of the Heavenly King, as it makes a fresh return to its beloved readers.
Yes, we have come back in the Redeemer’s name to seek the face of the Gracious Power, and with His glory we shall have an everlasting blessing. God bless our readers; God bless NUGS.
