Our parish selected a statue of St. Michael the Arch- angel over several other options for the shrine at the entrance from the Gathering Space. The new statue was installed earlier this summer. Very little is known about St. Michael other than what we know from Scripture and church tradi- tion. Michael is mentioned twice in the Book of Fall Offertory Appeal Daniel, once in the Epistle of Jude and finally in the Book of Revelation. Our annual fall offertory appeal kicks off this weekend.

MICAH AT A GLANCE This book records some bad news and good news as predicted by Micah. The bad news is the ten northern tribes of Israel would be captured by the Assyrians and the two southern tribes would suffer the same fate at the hands of the Babylonians. The good news foretold of the Messiah’s birth in Bethlehem and the ultimate establishment of the millennial kingdom of God. BOTTOM LINE INTRODUCTION QUESTION (ASKED 4 B.C.): WHERE IS HE THAT IS BORN KING OF THE JEWS? (MT. 2:2) ANSWER (GIVEN 740 B.C.): “BUT THOU, BETHLEHEM EPHRATAH, THOUGH THOU BE LITTLE AMONG THE THOUSANDS OF JUDAH, YET OUT OF THEE SHALL HE COME FORTH” (Micah 5:2).

    IJRDO-Journal of Business Management ISSN: 2455-6661 MOTIVATION AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG FEMALE EMPLOYEES IN FINANCIAL SECTOR IN NIGERIA Akinwunmi Adeboye (Ph.D)* Micah, Ezekiel Elton Michael**,Aghemelo,Austin Thomas (Ph.D) *** Department of Banking & Finance, Achievers University, Owo- Nigeria** Department of Business Administration, Nassrawa State University, Keffi-Nigeria* Department of Political Science, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria*** Email: [email protected] ,Phone: +234-8033-720-666. Abstract A salient factor in this problem is that motivation varies among the individual employees. Thus it is not easy to establish fixed motivational standards and expect full compliances by all employees. Although motivation may include rewards and punishment, Clemmer (1996) feels that it includes ideas, expectations and experiences. Most authors are silent about the effect of gender on employee motivation. However females have achieved a lot in positioning themselves at the top of the various professions in the general allegation of discrimination from their male counterparts who dominate corporate terrains. However, the female by virtue of nature are not fully suited to do certain jobs for either safety reasons or for social reason. Thus females are either excluded from such jobs or allowed to perform only complimentary role, while men play the more prominent roles. In the banking sector, most of the jobs can be performed by both sexes and appraising motivation among either sex will not be with extreme difficulty. The purpose of this paper is to determine the factors that motivate the female staff using First Bank of Nigeria Plc as a case study, and to investigate their levels of motivation, satisfaction and the effects of these on the job performance thereof.

  • Meeting God, Again - Micah
    1 Meeting God, Again - Micah We’ve been going through a series called Meeting God, Again. If you’re just joining us for the first time, we’ve been walking through the minor prophets in the Old Testament to highlight the character of God, and really, to see what kind of relationship God wants with us. Today we’re talking about the prophet Micah. Like all the minor prophets, Micah deals with sin, judgement and hope… but not just on an individual level… The prophets are addressing sin, judgement and hope on a national level. And as I studied this book, I couldn’t help but wonder: Are we really a “blessed nation”? ​ ​ ​ On one level, I’d say, yeah we’re definitely blessed. We live in a free country! Honestly, I have to say, when my plane landed back in the states after 2 weeks in Israel, I was really glad to see our flag flying high! I’m convinced that we can’t fully appreciate the freedom we have unless we’ve been to a country without freedom - and I only had a small taste of that! So, don’t misunderstand my question: I appreciate and completely respect those that have served our country (like all of my grandfathers) and especially those ​ ​ that have given their lives for our freedom! So yes, on one hand, we’re blessed. But, I’m not convinced we’re blessed in ​ such a way that the wealth and prosperity we have is proof that God is on ​ ​ our side. ​ Think about this: We have everything we need - actually, most of us have more ​ than we need to live.

  • Haggai 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Haggai 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE AND WRITER The title of this prophetic book is also probably the name of its writer.1 Pieter Verhoef mentioned another possibility: "Koole … compares the way other prophetic books originated, and concludes that Haggai, like Jeremiah, probably dictated his own notes to one or two of his disciples. This procedure would account for the third person, the brevity of the record, and the peculiar use of the formula or revelation."2 Haggai referred to himself as simply "the prophet Haggai" (1:1; et al.) We know nothing about Haggai's parents, ancestors, or tribal origin. His name apparently means "festal" or possibly "feast of Yahweh." This is appropriate since much of what Haggai prophesied deals with millennial blessings. His name is a form of the Hebrew word hag, meaning "feast." This has led some students of the book to speculate that Haggai's birth may have occurred during one of Israel's feasts.3 Ezra mentioned that through the prophetic ministries of Haggai and Zechariah, the returned Jewish exiles resumed and completed the restoration of their temple (Ezra 1See R. K. Harrison, Introduction to the Old Testament, pp. 944-48; E. J. Young, Introduction to the Old Testament, pp. 267-69; G. L. Archer Jr., A Survey of Old Testament Introduction, pp. 407-8; H. E. Freeman, An Introduction to the Old Testament Prophets, pp. 326-32. 2Pieter A. Verhoef, The Books of Haggai and Malachi, p. 13. His reference is to J. L. Koole, Haggai, p. 9. 3E.g., Joyce G.

  • Micah 6:1-8 the Prophet Micah Lived at the Same Time As the Prophet
    Micah 6:1-8 The Prophet Micah lived at the same time as the Prophet Isaiah, but they served the LORD in different ways. While Isaiah concentrated his preaching in the Southern Kingdom - Judah and its capital city, Jerusalem - Micah preached to both the northern and southern kingdoms. The message of these two prophets was different too. Isaiah spoke cheerful words like, “Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the LORD comforts His people, and will have compassion on His afflicted ones.” But Micah’s prophecies are more ominous. For example, in his prophecy today, the mountains are called upon not to burst into joyful song, but to serve as jury members. You see, the LORD’s patience was quickly running out, especially for the Northern Kingdom. In less than 10 years, they would cease to exist as a nation! Social sins, religious corruption, and spiritual laxity in general, had run rampant among God’s people for too long. So, in our text for today, the LORD brings A Case Against His People. As we investigate this ancient court case, let’s take note especially of the prosecution of the LORD, and the defense of His people. Before we get to the main event, let’s set the scene. As is the case in an impeachment trial - where the members of the United States Senate serve as members of the jury - the LORD had gathered some very prominent jurors for this case too. He designated the hills and mountains to serve in this capacity, probably because of the tremendous experience they had in keeping with their great age.

  • Understanding Micah's Lament for Judah
    7 Understanding Micah’s Lament for Judah (Micah 1:10–16) through Text, Archaeology, and Geography George A. Pierce George A. Pierce is an assistant professor of ancient scripture at Brigham Young University. artin Luther once stated that the prophets “have a queer way Mof talking, like people who, instead of proceeding in an orderly manner, ramble off from one thing to the next, so that you cannot make head or tail of them or see what they are getting at.”1 This is especially true for Micah 1:10–16, in which Micah’s prophetic lament employs several forms of Hebrew wordplay, termed paronomasia, a literary device found throughout the Old Testament that employs the phonology and meaning of words to give added emphasis to a persuasive argument.2 The prophets have the highest occurrences of this rhetorical device when compared to other genres in the Hebrew Bible, such as law, history, or wisdom literature, and in this passage, the wordplay of the prophet’s lament draws on the names of towns or villages in the rural Judean countryside to illustrate impending judgment and destruction. This chapter seeks to explicate the word- play Micah used in lamenting the cities around him by surveying the 162 George A. Pierce geographical and historical settings behind Micah’s oracle as related within biblical and Assyrian texts, by considering archaeological and geographic information, and by examining the mechanics of the text. Thus text, archaeology, and geography should not only give perspec- tive to Micah’s lament but also inform the potential application of the text in addition to the larger theological message of Micah for the modern reader.
