Controversial Israeli televangelist Benny Hinn, known for his massive “healing crusades" and also associated with what has become known as prosperity gospel, has announced that he is undergoing a correction of his theology that made him and his family millions.

In a Facebook live broadcast with his followers, Benny Hinn who has been an advocate of obtaining blessings through sowing of seeds, faithful payments of tithes and offerings, delivered a full-throated rejection of the practice. 

He further stated that he will never ask for $1,000 or whatever amount again because he thinks the Holy Ghost is just fed up with it. Revealing that some Pastors may not invite him to their churches again to preach and raise money for "church projects", Benny added that the Gospel “is not for sale.”

Brad Pitt reveals why he turned to 'Alcoholics Anonymous' for help when his marriage to Angelina Jolie crashed

Brad Pitt has opened up about his sobriety, and what he’s learned from spending a year and a half in an all-male Alcoholics Anonymous group.

In an interview with The New York Times, the 55-year-old actor looked back on his decision to give up drinking, which came after his split from Angelina Jolie. 

“I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privilege,” Pitt said. He said he was moved by his fellow male group members in Alcoholics Anonymous.

“You had all these men sitting around being open and honest in a way I have never heard. It was this safe space where there was little judgment, and therefore little judgment of yourself. It was actually really freeing just to expose the ugly sides of yourself and there’s great value in that” he said.

Samson Siasia appeals FIFA's lifetime ban on him, says 'I have never been be a party to any form of unethical conduct'

Samson Siasia, the former Super Eagles’ Chief Coach on Wednesday, Sepetember 4th in Abuja said he has appealed against the life ban slammed on him by world football governing body, FIFA.  

Siasia told newsmen that his lawyers filed the appeal to FIFA on August 27, while another appeal was filed with the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) on August 29. He denied any involvement in any illegal act, such as match-fixing, saying he was well aware they are contrary to the ethics of the football sport.

“I wish to state that I have never been and would never be a party to any form of unethical conduct or perversion in the discharge of my duties in any capacity. I built my career in the football industry on the foundation of hard work, integrity, consistency and God.  

“In all my career, I have done nothing but serve my country and clubs to the best of my personal and professional ability, with all my strength and might, with discipline, pride and passion and an awareness that it is a privilege to be an ambassador of our great nation.  

“It is my greatest hope and belief that my country also stands by and with me at a time like this,” the former Super Eagles forward said.

He said the entire proceedings and decision were only brought to his notice on August 16th saying, “that was when the news broke in the public domain and friends and family started to call. I was totally unaware of the proceedings until I heard about FIFA’s decision'.  

“While I may not be able to publicly divulge the details and specifics, of the appeal, I think it fit to inform you that I have appealed against FIFA’s Decision and you all will probably hear the results as you heard about the ban.  “I am currently taking legal advice. My lawyer, Austin Otah, has been liaising with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and its counsel,” he said.  

Siasia who also played for Nigeria at the youth level, also expressed his gratitude to all Nigerians.

“I thank everyone who has supported me in one way or the other. I must state that this is the most trying period of my life. I am still dealing with the pains and challenges of my mother being kidnapped again and fighting to secure her release.

I urge the nation to support me with prayers, goodwill and support of all kind. The demands are very heavy,” he said, struggling to control a surge of emotions.
