CHURCH OR BUSINESS

I have said this in private and i am saying it in public; despite the fake spirituality African and Nigerians display, despite the huge church auditorium we erect everywhere and despite our claim to have the most anointed of men of God.


Africans and Nigerians in particular are the most Godless set of creatures created by God, we are so wicked even the devil gets scared of us when we begin to display our wickedness.

In what part of this planet do we hear on a regular basis that people use their children and parents for rituals just to get wealth that they wont enjoy forever.

ABANDONED PROJECT:The Alagbole-Akute road

As I embarked on this investigative venture; my eyes has seen, read, witnessed and experienced the bad state of our infrastructural abandonment in this Country called Nigeria. When I started by visiting the abandoned case of steel, ignored Owerre-Port Harcourt road and the death trap Isi Uzo road, my research did not weaver. I observed that the more I probe, the more See more despicable things our past, present and probably future Leaders are doing with the National resources.

The toll of Abandoned Projects keep rising and our resources are continuously looted.
My concern remains, since 2014 this road was awarded, why was it not completed? Why did the Chinese contractors abandon the project leaving it worse than they met it?

Does GOD support and accept presentation of living animals like cow, fowl, goat etc. For prayers and breaking of curses.

I'm of the believe that as a Christian, Christ's death on the cross of Calvary is enough and has overruled all blood related sacrifice and prayers to GOD. What animal blood is greater than Christ's blood.

Plz tell me what you all think about this.

YOU MUST KNOW THIS MAN
You may be an antheist or an agnostic; or you may belong to any of the religious denominations that exist in the world today. You may be a communist or a believer in democracy and freedom. No matter what you are, and no matter what your ideological and political beliefs, personal and social habits happen to be -- YOU MUST STILL KNOW THIS MAN.
ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA confirms:
"....a mass of detail in the early sources show that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were like-wise honest and upright men." (Vol. 12)
GEORGE BERNARD SHAW said about him:
"He must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness." (THE GENUINE ISLAM, Singapore, Vol. 1, No. 8, 1936)
He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come.
"HIS NAME IS MUHAMMAD" May Peace of God Be Upon Him (pbuh)
He was born in Arabia in the year 570 C.E. (common era), started his mission of preaching the religion of Truth, Islam (submission to One God) at the age of forty and departed from this world at the age of sixty-three.
During this short period of 23 years of his Prophethood, he changed the complete Arabian peninsula from paganism and idolatry to worship of One God, from tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and cohesion, from drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety, from lawlessness and anarchy to disciplined living, from utter bankruptcy to the highest standards of moral excellence. Human history has never known such a complete transformation of a people or a place before or since - and IMAGINE all these unbelievable wonders in JUST OVER TWO DECADES.
LAMARTINE, the renowned historian speaking on the essentials of human greatness wonders:
"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislation, empires, peoples and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls....his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death; all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was two-fold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with the words.
"Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is MUHAMMAD. As regards all the standards by which Human Greatness may be measured, we may well ask, IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE? " (Lamartine, HISTOIRE DE LA TURQUIE, Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp 276-277)
The world has had its share of great personalities. But these were one-sided figures who distinguished themselves in but one or two fields, such as religious thought or military leadership. The lives and teachings of these great personalities of the world are shrouded in the mist of time.
There is so much speculation about the time and place of their birth, the mode and style of their life, the nature and detail of their teachings and the degree and measure of their success or failure that it is impossible for humanity to reconstruct accurately the lives and teachings of these men.
Not so this man. Muhammad (pbuh) accomplished so much in such diverse fields of human thought and behavior in the fullest blaze of human history. Every detail of his private life and public utterances has been accurately documented and faithfully preserved to our day. The authenticity of the record so preserved are vouched for not only by the faithful followers but even by his prejudiced critics.
Muhammad (pbuh) was a religious teacher, a social reformer, a moral guide, an administrative colossus, a faithful friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted husband, a loving father - all in one. No other man in history ever excelled or equaled him in any of these different aspects of life - but it was only for the selfless personality of Muhammad (pbuh) to achieve such incredible perfections.
MAHATMA GANDHI, speaking on the character of Muhammad, (pbuh) says in YOUNG INDIA:
"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today's undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind....I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to this friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission.
"These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life."
THOMAS CALYLE in his HEROES AND HERO WORSHIP, was simply amazed as to:
"how one man single-handedly, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades."
DIWAN CHAND SHARMA wrote:
"Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by those around him." (D.C. Sharma, THE PROPHETS OF THE EAST, Calcutta, 1935, pp. 12)
EDWARD GIBBON and SIMON OCKLEY speaking on the profession of ISLAM write:
"'I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, AND MAHOMET, AN APOSTLE OF GOD' is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honor of the Prophet has never transgressed the measure of human virtues; and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion." (HISTORY OF THE SARACEN EMPIRES, London, 1870, p. 54)
Muhammad (pbuh) was nothing more or less than a human being. But he was a man with a noble mission, which was to unite humanity on the worship of ONE and ONLY ONE GOD and to teach them the way to honest and upright living based on the commands of God. He always described himself as, 'A Servant and Messenger of God,' and so indeed every action of his proclaimed to be.
Speaking on the aspect of equality before God in Islam, the famous poetess of India, SAROJINI NAIDU says:
"It was the first religion that preached and practiced democracy; for, in the mosque, when the call for prayer is sounded and worshippers are gathered together, the democracy of Islam is embodied five times a day when the peasant and king kneel side by side and proclaim: 'God Alone is Great'... I have been struck over and over again by this indivisible unity of Islam that makes man instinctively a brother." (S. Naidu, IDEALS OF ISLAM, vide Speeches & Writings, Madras, 1918, p. 169)
In the words of PROF. HURGRONJE:
"The league of nations founded by the prophet of Islam put the principle of international unity and human brotherhood on such universal foundations as to show candle to other nations." He continues: "The fact is that no nation of the world can show a parallel to what Islam has done towards the realization of the idea of the League of Nations."
The world has not hesitated to raise to divinity, individuals whose lives and missions have been lost in legend. Historically speaking, none of these legends achieved even a fraction of what Muhammad (pbuh) accomplished. And all his striving was for the sole purpose of uniting mankind for the worship of One God on the codes of moral excellence. Muhammad (pbuh) or his followers never at any time claimed that he was a Son of God or the God-incarnate or a man with divinity - but he always was and is even today considered as only a Messenger chosen by God.
MICHAEL H. HART in his recently published book on ratings of men who contributed towards the benefit and upliftment of mankind writes:
"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels." (M.H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York, 1978, p. 33)
K. S. RAMAKRISHNA RAO, an Indian Professor of Philosophy in his booklet, "Muhammad, The Prophet of Islam," calls him the "PERFECT MODEL FOR HUMAN LIFE." Prof. Ramakrishna Rao explains his point by saying:
"The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes! There is Muhammad, the Prophet. There is Muhammad, the Warrior; Muhammad, the Businessman; Muhammad, the Statesman; Muhammad, the Orator; Muhammad, the Reformer; Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad, the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad, the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad, the Judge; Muhammad, the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is alike a hero."
Today after a lapse of fourteen centuries, the life and teachings of MUHAMMAD (pbuh) have survived without the slightest loss, alteration or interpolation. They offer the same undying hope for treating mankind's many ills, which they did when he was alive. This is not a claim of Muhammad's (pbuh) followers but also the inescapable conclusion forced upon by a critical and unbiased history.
The least YOU could do as a thinking and concerned human being is to stop for a moment and ask yourself: Could these statements sounding so extraordinary and revolutionary be really true? And supposing they really are true and you did not know this man MUHAMMAD (pbuh) or hear about him, isn't it time you responded to this tremendous challenge and put in some effort to know him?
It will cost you nothing but it may prove to be the beginning of a completely new era in your life.
We invite you to make a discovery of this wonderful man, MUHAMMAD (pbuh), the like of whom never walked on the face of this earth.

https://www.nairaland.com/3009725/blood-description-significance-blood-jesus
BLOOD" [MEDICAL DESCRIPTION; BIBLICAL AND OCCULT MEANING; THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BLOOD OF Jesus]Have you ever wondered why people become disturbed and ardent any time they see blood gushing or flowing out slowly from the body? Of course, blood is a body fluid that needs to beenclosed within vessels. I had a female friend in Akure few years back ,anytime she fell and experienced a cut in any of herbody parts revealing this red fluid,she would cry,but if there is no exposure of internal tissue or blood,she would get up quickly without the awareness of anyone. Why is this so? Many persons see blood as one of the basic things needed in the body for "life", while to some,blood is just an emotive and perturbable substance probably because of its reddish colour. The latter may be true to some extent due to the occult significance of colour red and also its tensive property.Medically, blood is a connective tissue in fluid form. It is considered as the " fluid of life" because it carries Oxygen(a gas required for the catabolism of glucose in the body to generate ATP needed) from lungs to all parts of the body and Carbon{iv}oxide (an acidic and cell toxic gas needed to be excreted) from all parts of the body to the lungs. It is known as"fluid of growth" because it carries nutritive substances from the digestive system and hormones from endocrine gland to allthe tissues. The blood is also called the "fluid of health" because it protects the body against diseases and gets rid of the waste products and unwanted substances by transporting them to the excretory organs like kidneys. Note,blood is refferred to as a tissue because it consists of cells - erythrocytes, leukocytes and thrombocytes. Erythrocyte,also known as Red blood cell (RBC),contains haemoglobin which gives it the colour red as the name implies and due to the dominance of the RBCs,the whole fluid(blood) appears red. Although, variations do occur; it appears red when Oxygen is bounded with the haemoglobin present in the RBC, dark red in the absence of Oxygen and brownish red due to rapid irreversible oxidation of Fe2+ present in the haemoglobin to Fe3+ owing totally to the loss of an enzyme called methemoglobin reductase when the blood is exposed to atmosphere.From the above medical and biochemical explanation, you should agree with me that it is by way of the blood that the"inner man" comes into contact with that which is exterior and that in the course of this process,man's blood absorbs Oxygen which constitutes the very breath of life and which gives it(the blood) its colour-red.Due to its importance to life,blood is associated with a large number of beliefs. One of the most basic is the use of blood as a symbol for family relationship; to be 'related by blood' is to berelated by ancestry or descendance, rather than marriage. This bears closely to bloodlines, and sayings such as "blood is thicker than water" and "Blood brother".THE IMPORTANCE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF BLOOD IN THE BIBLEThe word " blood" appears 346 times in the Old Testament (KJV translation), and 101 times in the New Testament, I.e, 447times in all. For years growing up as a child,I heard Christians talk about the blood. How the blood of Jesus saves us from our sins. How we can plead the blood over sickness and have good health. Thank God for Anglicanism, during holy Communion service in my home church (St. Stephen's Ang. Church,Iju), each time the vicar raises up the 'cup' and makes reference to the place in the bible where Jesus inaugurated the New Covenant after His last passover with the disciples, it enlightens me more.Following the principle of first mention (where a topic is first mentioned in the Bible usually reveals some indication of its importance), we look at Genesis 4:10 where God speaks of Abel's blood crying from the ground. Did the spirit of God hear the spirit of Abel crying in agony of death through his blood? It would seem so.Then in Gen9:4,where God first approved eating of meat,He prohibited eating meat that hadn't properly "bled out" because there was still blood in the meat and the life is in the blood.In Gen9:6, He first instituted capital punishment saying;"Whoever sheds the blood of man,by man his blood will be shed". This was later summarized as 'a life for a life'.The shedding of innocent blood is the remedy for sin. First came the temporary remedy, an innocent animal(in the Old Testament) and then the permanent one when the Lord's own blood was shed(in the new testament). Once again, we see a life for a life,so it appears God equates blood with life.Finally,the phrase " flesh and blood" designates human nature apart from moral evil. Read Hebrews2:14.The above biblical references also justify the use of blood as a sign of covenant. "And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people and said,behold the BLOOD OF THE COVENANT,which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words"-Exodus 24:8.THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BLOOD OF Jesus"NEITHER BY THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES, but by Hisown blood He entered in once into the holy place,having obtained eternal redemption for us" (Heb 9:12)."But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND GOATS should take away sins"(Heb 10:3-4)The above verses are some of the key verses in the Bible that show this fact - only the blood of Christ is what ultimately counts and has value - not the blood from the Old Testament animal sacrifices.When Jesus died,He completed everything that the blood required. By His one sacrifice on the cross, Everything was provided to satisfy the heart of God and pay the price for our sin and rebellion.Below is a summary of the significance that the Blood of Jesusincorporates;- we have peace with God through the blood of Jesus (Eph. 2:12-14)-forgiveness of sins. 1John1:7 says " But if we walk in the light,as He is in light,we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ His son cleanseth us from sin.- we are elected or chosen by God unto salvation because of the blood (1Peter1:2)- the Holy Communion is one of the most sacred sacrament in Christianity. "And as they were eating,Jesus took...for this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many..." -Matthew 26:26-29.In addition, our eternal victory all through the book of Revelation is because of the blood. Almost all of us are familiar with this popular quote,though many do not know what it really means -"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony;and they loved not their lives unto the death." (Rev.12:11)Moreover, it is faith in the actual blood of Jesus that saves us and removes our sins. (Rom3:24-25 ; Eph 1:6-.Finally dear reader, I have tried defining blood as "fluid life" medically and biblically,tell the reason why blood is required for the remission of sins and also explained how and why the blood of Jesus Christ has replaced those of bulls,goats and calves used previously. It takes courage to read a long article like this but it could be perilous if after reading,you still continue with sins. Paul said in his epistle to the Romans,"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin,that grace may abound? God forbid!" Christ had bridged the gap between God and man. He is the only way to Him(God), establish a strong faith in Him and you shall be saved. I pray the power of His(Christ) death and resurrection shall manifest in our lives IJN. AMEN.HAPPY EASTER in advance
