Abbreviation is an abbreviation

Stop misleading people in the wrong way that looks right in your own eye.

Focus your fanatic energy(if there is) in making sure that d "order" didn't take Christianity away from Nigeria.

Africa will continue wallowing in the dark untill we drop our religiosity.
The South is filled to the brim with churches, the North is bedecked with mosque...

yet in the South you find Christian spewing so much hate, you find churches telling Christians to kill Moslems, when Jesus told us time and again to love our enemies and do good to those who hate us.
Also, The Bible warns against making undue profit but Christians want to make triple profit at a blow.


in the North, You find se malam propagating hate... Islam preaches love too.
furthermore, up there you find very few rich elite surrounded by lots of poor people... the only try to buy cartons of indomie, once in 3yrs to take pics for online likes, just to say they are giving to the poor.
when they could better pick some kids off the street to fend for...
or could try making it possible for them to be in school so as to harness their full potential.

but no, we don't do any, we spend days fasting, and praying, for Nigeria to get better.
The Dark age, was the period were people were too religious in the west, it was after people broke free from the chain of religion, when scientist tried taking control of their destiniez and finding answers to their problem, rada than fasting and praying for them to go away... that prosperity came to the west and the world at large.... Look at the very Religious Middle East, and look at the Secular west... you need no one to tell u the damage religion can wrought on us.
for obvious reasons, thee Age after the religiously beclouded Dark age is called.. "THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT"

Africans ! Nigerians,! We need to be enlightened, we need to start thinking on how we could solve some of our many problems, and not on how someone writing "IJN" instead of In Jesus Name... will bring him some bad luck...
Nobody owes poor people anything, stop preaching bullsh!t.

I think you need to know that even the name JESUS was fabricated from YESHUA, JOSHUA, ISA classically. So those calling JESUS are making mistakes,
Let assume YESHUA (JESUS) return and you are shouting is English and edited name JESUS CHRIST, JESUS CHRIST he never answer you, he will rather turn to you and ask you who are you shouting at. Because that was not is name, is mother never called or name him JESUS and he never prayed in is own name, rather the name of the Father who sent him. Thank you so much for your efforts.

I think one of the teachings of religion interprets that no matter the form of prayer, the god being prayed to will understand your heart desires. So using IJN doesn't matter, if you think of it as bad then you can as well say that people who never voice out prayers are wasting their time.

But can you abbreviate when writing formal letter like an application for job?
If you're scared to do that, why should you be ridiculing the ONLY son of the most high God?

I have to seriously believe you are never a Christian or possibly the type that never listened to the word of God nor attempted opening the Holy Bible.

Hardeysolution:
IJN?! What is IJN?!

I am surprised and dismayed at our apparent lack of discerning and spiritual understanding.
In our quest for quick life and quick ways of doing things, we have adopted the microwave mentality to using the name of Jesus.

We have allowed the fast life to becloud the spiritual importance and meaning of calling the name JESUS and by our apparent lack of discernment and understanding which has replaced the Mighty , Earth Shaken and Miracle Inspiring Declaration “In the Name of Jesus” with “IJN” .

What is IJN ?Take time to google the abbreviation “IJN” and see what it throws up.

Have you taken time to ponder about this? : We take time to write lengthy prayers on social media and end such prayers with IJN. If you can take time to type the prayers, what stops you from typing out in full the name and the power that will bring life and answer to such prayers. Have you ever seen a traditionalist abbreviate the names of their gods in incantations or write-ups? People of God, let's wake up. The enemy is winning the battle of the mind. Remove the name of JESUS from every prayer and such prayer becomes worthless.

The name JESUS: “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father “ (Philippians 2:9-11). It is this same name we are trying to render inconsequential by abbreviation. The name that Opens a Door and no one can close. The name that Conquered principalities and powers; the name that death bowed to; is what we are trivializing. May GOD show us MERCY IN JESUS NAME!
This was the same way the enemy has made the “Christ” in Christmas irrelevant by subtle replacing it with X to make Xmas, and we do not take it to heart. I was shocked to also discover that GOD is now being abbreviated as “G”. When do we stop all these nonsense?

This is a wakeup call. There is Power Mighty in the name of JESUS. Let’s Celebrate and broadcast that name . Let's obtain the available Victory in that name. Don’t allow the enemy to subdue and weaken the power of the name through the social media. Shout it loud from the room top. Jesus is LORD Forever and Ever! Stop abbreviating His Name. . . IJN is not the same thing as “In Jesus Name”. A word is enough for the wise. Share if you believe
https://www.facebook.com/bishopjoshua.ajayi/posts/861338787336293

A very good eye-opener and an impeccable Write-up. We are. In the end times & for that matter, the world is evolving, knowledge has risen with her wings on humanity. This is one of the devil's tool. The devil has implemented methods and misled people to the extent of deceiving humanity on bringing that name; 'IJN.' Meanwhile, since there is power in the name of Jesus to bring down strongholds of the enemy, the devil has deceived people on using the name 'IJN' via texts or words of mouth in prayer(which would seemingly have no effect than the candid one "In Jesus' Name."

Hitherto, I now understand that 'X'mas is the cross of Crucifixion inverted as the 'X' sign to represent 'Christ.' But still, I do not still discern mass.

Thank you for sharing this. I think a Holy Spirit-filled person or an anointed person of God would have gotten an inspiration from God or led by the spirit to write this for the benefit of others. People will only get deceived and deceiving others that there's nothing wrong with 'IJN' instead of '"In Jesus' Name"


2Timothy3:13; But evil men and seducers(deceivers) shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

Interpretation is key....
The holy book tells you that god hears everything and sees everything which means that what really matters is your heart desires and not if you type the prayer in all caps.

Formal letter gives you the freedom of imagination to express yourself but forbids you from using abbreviations because of set down rules.

It is not an irony at the most chritianised countries in the world are top ranking in the list of underdevelopment,...... So you think what Jesus is bothered about is IJN issue. I'm not disappointed in this post because an average Christian reasons this way. When reading a post or prayer that says IJN, do you read the abbreviations or say what it means, cos the latter is what matters.

In Jesus Name, Amen.

You cannot pray in Jesus name to Amen.

Why?

Due to the fact that Jesus is a fictitious character that never existed whilst Amen was plagiarised out of Africans intellectual property.

Yes I totally agree that using the abbreviation ijn MUST stop due to the fact that the Jesus character doesn’t exist.

Jesus was an invention of first century Romans.

Jesus is a fake god.

These are the reasons one should desist from making use of these type of nonsensical and malicious terminologies.

For instance, I respond to these type of threads in the name of the real and proper Gods - The African Gods are the only true and proper ones.

As in, Ela is a real God.

Ogun is God.

Osun is God.

Sango is God.

Yemoja is God

Sopona is a god.

Jesus is a fake god.

Not to be conflated with the Almighty God.
