ANOTHER REASON WHY I'M HAPPY TO BE A MUSLIM !

NO ONE TELLS ME WHEN TO PRAY . . . WE ALL KNOW WHEN . . .

NO ONE NEEDS TO TELL WHEN TO RISE UP IN THE NIGHT AND PRAY, WE ALL KNOW WHEN TO . . .

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

This reminds me of one (SU) "Su-e-gbe union" that I bordered a Greyhound bus with in Atlanta. I guess he just got here from Nigeria. You could still tell by his thick accent. Then, he started speaking in tongue, he says evil spirit is in this bus and he wants to cause accident. He says we need strong prayer to chase the demon off. Then, a crackhead sitting behind me stood up with typical black American's English. He says "you ain't shit, you ain't, we ain't buyin' your lie, you took it; we don't believe in all of those mumbo jumbo craps in 21 century.

Before we knew it someone had already called cops on his ass. After cops took him away, my Jamaican's friend says when there are clear roads with no potholes and speed limit signposts are everywhere on highways, then you have cops on highways too, to write tickets for speed limit’s offenders; we don’t have to think about accident. Then, I thought about that if this happened in Nigeria, this guy would have been rich now, because at the end of the journey, he would have given out his phone number to many people who are looking for urgent miracles.

I hiss strongly in Islam

Imagine this ignorant? Who told you that Christians don't pray or who told you we are being forced to do so? From your post alone, I have concluded you are not a devoted muslim cos devoted ones (ask your Alfas and Imams) go beyond the 5 times a day prayer and that is why they can see things before it happens and know more than you do.

The information is just to tell you that the pastor saw something and want people to go beyond their normal praying time in praying for or against a coming occurrence.

I ignored it because I know that no matter what we do, people will always die in Nigeria, and they are some people's dear ones.
Take the last 24 hours for instance, in Nigeria, thousands of children would have died from various illnesses, scores of women would have died from pregnancy-related causes, tens of young people would have been lost to road traffic accidents, several others to the conflict in the Niger Delta and hundreds more to other common causes of death like stroke, sickle cell disease, HIV/AIDS, heart failure, tuberculosis etc. And no matter what we do, some of them will be close to some people, including us. It is an equilibrium and nature needs it to ensure balance.
Now imagine a scenario where God decides to answer all the prayers being offered to prevent the death of loved ones, then will people  start living up to 300 years and we won't record deaths worldwide again? How will the world cope with the exploding population? Ladies and gentlemen, death is inevitable.

Last shot: Life expectancy in Nigeria is about 45 years, so don't worry yourself. Those you know, and you, and even Adeboye himself will die sooner or later anyway.
Will someone tell me what is peculiar about 11 pm to 1 am? Is that the exact period when the angel of death strikes?

TOPE2000!:

I heard this too

debosky:

Iyara:

It seems the opinions prevalent among those who saw the text message and prayed is that;

1. It doesn’t matter whether or not the SMS is a hoax. As far as it makes us pray more, some good can come out of a lie or trick.
2. All prayer is good so therefore;
   a) You can't have too much prayer.
   b) No prayer is wasted.

I beg to differ. You can pray too much, just like you can eat too much, sleep too much or work too much. Too much of EVERYTHING is bad. I also disagree with the statement that no prayer is wasted. If you’re praying against the inevitable, then what is that? No amount of prayer will stop the sun from rising or setting. I think that no 1 above is best left to each individual’s conscience/spirit/what have you.

I got the text yesterday, from an unknown person (Nigerian number).

I promptly deleted it.
