  • Church members offered donations and preacher admitted he 'became a crybaby' when he 'felt their love' 

A South Carolina preacher gave a live sermon as he filmed his house burning on Sunday, reminding his followers that 'God is good.

Apostle' Sammy Smith, 64, founder of the Grace Cathedral Ministries in Piedmont, South Carolina, live-streamed his burning home on Facebook on November 7 saying he never lost faith - just his razor. 

Despite watching flames engulf his house, the chipper preacher still said 'I'm doing church this morning. I can't shave, I thought I could shave. Looks like I might not be able to shave much this morning.

'But I just wanted everyone to know that God is good. He is blessing us. Everything gonna be alright. I always say He will make a way and sometimes we don't understand and as I've been saying recently, God might not put the blessing in your hand, but in your reach.' 

Sammy suspected the fire at his house started due to a heating device or electronics. It started in an upstairs bedroom and appeared to be contained to the top floor. No one was hurt and the whole family made it out of the house

Smith shared the video to his Facebook page showing the large, dark plumes of smoke billowing from the top of his house as flames engulf the top floor. 

His two neighbors used their lawn hoses to spray water on the upstairs windows where the fire started until the Simpsonville Fire Department arrived with a much bigger and more powerful hose. 

Even after the fire department arrived, his valiant neighbors still helped spray the house down. Other neighbors also joined the preacher in his front yard to offer support. 

'My house is on fire,' the preacher is heard saying several times in the video. 'Right now, it's upstairs. I hope it don't get downstairs. My house is on fire.' 

The 64-year-old preacher admitted in a later Facebook live that he has 'never seen a house burn.' 

'The house is probably pretty much destroyed,' he said. 'But God got us out. And, you know, God's will always has to be done. Sometimes we don't understand His will.' 

Although the cause of the fire remains unclear, Sammy suspected it was due to a heating unit or electronics, he told WYFF

It is the second major theft of cryptocurrencies to take place in recent days.                 Last week, digital token platform Poly Network was at the centre of a $600m heist. "WE ARE SORRY TO ANNOUNCE THAT #LIQUIDGLOBAL WARM WALLETS WERE COMPROMISED, WE ARE MOVING ASSETS INTO THE COLD WALLET," THE COMPANY SAID ON TWITTER.

Man gets to positions of power and authority and bring to bear their inner qualities. Position, as we have it here, is used to do all sorts of things; good and bad. But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the same of time.   It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors. That fateful day was Sunday and in the evening; darkness was just enveloping the city. It was the strange shouts of "opo ye o, opo ye o, opo ye o", that prompted me to rush out of our house at Oke aro. I saw people running helter, skelter. I did not bother about them. I was looking for the "electric
