THE CASE OF CASTER

This is an extra ordinary case in the world of sports, and it has brought a lot of embarrassment on the athlete, the IAAF and the South Africa sports federation. The IAAF and the South Africa sports federation should have handled this case better, and save the little girl the shame. Caster has every right to compete with other women, it is not her fault that she has three times the testosterone a woman should have, she didn't made herself GOD made her and it is to prove a point. Caster should be allowed to continue to compete with other women, infact the IAAF should let her keep her medals, but they may have to give another gold medal to the woman that came second in the spirit of fairness. The solution to Caster problem is simple, in future races, she should be willing to give a head start to other athletes, since she has an advantage over them due to her testosterone level. CASTER SHOULD NOT BE CAST OUT, she is a human being like the rest of us. Infact she is a SUPER WOMAN.

DOES GOD BOTHER ABOUT SPORTS ? THE ANSWER IS YES.

This is to let the people who think GOD will not have anything to do with sports know that HE has involvement in sports. Lets start with the Athletes that entertain people on the field of play with their skills. God made these people, and he gave them the talent that they have, everytime you see a footballer dribbling and doing wonderful things with the ball, or a sprinter running faster and breaking the world record, thats GOD gift that you are witnessing whether the athlete acknowledge it or not. God has been producing exeptional athletes from time to time. He has been producing these athletes in all kinds of sport. Every sports can point to one or more exceptional athlete. Lets take for example a sport like athletics and lets focus on the sprinters. Usain Bolt is now been regarded as the greatest athlete of all time because of his recent achievement in 100 metres clocking 9.58 seconds. Before Bolts, athlete like Michael johnson was seen as greatest. Same thing applies to football , basketball and any other sport. Before Kobe Bryant, Shaq O'neil, Messi, Ronaldo there were athletes regarded as the best. If you look at the pattern, you will see that God is always providing something better. Psalms 72:18(NLT) says: Praise the LORD GOD, the GOD of Isreal, who alone does such wonderful things.

The world of sports should be thankful to GOD for he has provided all these talents, without the talents sports will not be interesting, it will just be a repetion of achievement, nothing mindblowing.

ATHLETES SHOULD ALWAYS GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR THEIR TALENT AND ACHIEVEMENT

I believe it is the duty of every sportsmen and women to give thanks to the Almighty God for the talents that they have and their achievement on the field of play. Getting to be an athlete is not an easy task, apart from the hard work and training, they also have that special gift that other people do not have which makes them stand out and compete at the world stage. The Williams sisters (venus and serena) did not just trained hard to get to where they are now, they had the talent and the sisters appreciate what God has done for them that is why they always give thanks after winning any tennis tournament. The bible says 'Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever'. (Psalm 136:1) Athletes like Evander Holyfield, George Foreman has shown the world the role God can play in sport perfomance by winning fights when least expected.

ATHLETES NEED STOP GLORIFYING SELF

Athletes like Usain Bolts, Cristiano Ronaldo needs to stop praising themselves and give thanks to the most high. These two came out of poor families, God gave them a special talent to help left their families out of poverty. The problem with most sportsmen and women is they tend to get carried away by thier success. A footballer like KAKA as shown the world that God is his provider by always giving praise and letting the world know that he loves JESUS.

God's grace on brother Linvoy

Linvoy Primus is a good example of a role model. The brother is a born again christian and one of the founders of FAITH & FOOTBALL , a christian organisation using football to preach the gospel. You will surely not hear of Linvoy coming out of an expensive night club like most footballers do or been charge with drunk driving. The acceptance of JESUS in our lives can make a lot of difference. GOD takes care of his own as it applies to Linvoy who was recently offered the position of Club ambassador of Portsmouth fc. Now the brother don't have to worry about how he is going to survive when he retires. Linvoy will be involve in mentoring youth players and looking after the problems of everyone in the club.

HALLELUJAH FC- Using football to preach the gospel

Hello blog world,

I will like to start off my blogging by telling the story of a football club set up in South Korea for christian missionary work. Hallelujah Fc, set up in 1980 was the first professional club set up in South korea. The club won the first k-league title consisting mainly of christian evangelical players. This development as shown that Football and sports in general is a good tool in preaching the gospel of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. This is a club that is financially dependent on churches, individuals and the local council to get by due to lack of sponsorships from companies. God as been the main sponsor of the club. Hallelujah fc is not the only club to be set up by a group of christians. Big clubs like Rangers fc of scotland set up by a group of protestants and Celtic fc set up by a group of catholics, but these clubs are not religion minded, infact there is nothing to show people of there christian link apart from there history. Portsmouth fc has taken the bold step by being the first professional club to promote christianity by working with a charity founded by one of their players LINVOY PRIMUS called FAITH & FOOTBALL . This organisation was set up with the aim of using football to preach the gospel .
