Judgement12:
Now this is this big question, how come the west and Europe don't suffer from poverty even though they are more corrupt than our leaders, most of them leave on our wealth

First, I like the fact that you know they're are probably more corruption than our leaders.
However, they have created systems that put corruption in check. Also they follow the principles of wealth. So a higher percentage of them do not suffer from poverty unlike here.
Our primary problem here as a nation is our faulty systems/institutions.

Being a Christian does not take away poverty. Jesus Christ became poor so that we would be rich. And he said, we will always have the poor around.
As a Christian, just like every thing else, it is our choice to be rich or poor.

Warning: It is important to dietinguish the love of Money (Greed) from being wealthy.
Someone who has love of money (greed) is pursuing money above any thing else, even above God. Which is the problem of most Nigerians.

A true Christian is one who has accepted Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior and submits to Gods will/plan for his life.
Such as person pursues/seeks the kingdom of God and His righteousness primarily, and is contented to let God decide his other needs as God leads him through life. Matthew 6:33

Hope this helps. God bless you.

■ A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession."
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us."
He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." (Jesus was not sent to everybody)
The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said.
He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
"Yes, Lord," she said, "but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
Then Jesus answered, "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
■ I would expect that a 'God incarnate' person who is ultimately merciful wouldn't think twice before helping a sick child, especially since he has the power to do so. Can we say this is a racist comment? He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
Who are the Children and who are their dogs?

1. The Canaanite woman initially asked for the mercy that belonged only to the Lost sheep of Isreal— she invoked the name of David in her request for mercy —, and that mercy only existed to the sinners of the House of Jacob whom He was sent to. He wasn't going to lie to her, was she?

2. Well, here's the problem. Jesus Christ's father, the God of Israel, made no secret of the fact that He was God of no other nation except Israel. Why in the world would you expect His Son, submitted to the Will of His Father, to be any different from His Father who gave Him his people — the sinners of Israel?

God, from the beginning, made it known that not everyone would make His cut. Before there were races, He selected Abel and not Cain, chose Noah, of all the humans on earth, and selected Abraham from among His people. Of all the 8 sons of Abraham God chose Isaac as the one He would use for His plan. From the sons of Isaac, God selected Jacob for His plan, and then from all of the people of the earth, God proclaimed in Deuteronomy 32 that Israel was His only inheritance in the land of men. God has never "included" all persons, peoples, or races in HIs plan from the beginning.

Yes, His plan, as detailed in Scripture, is expected to ultimately include people from every tribe, every language, and every nation on this earth, and this would be by His method and not the methods of man. However, the God of Israel has never deceived men from the beginning that they all could have a share of His plan. Even Adam and Eve, the very first, lost out on that chance. So what meaning is there in raising a standard that is of men against Him whose standard has always been above all of that?

Proverbs 14:34 (KJV) Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people.

LOL... Christians and twisting Scripture. The only nation of this world that ever had a chance at righteousness was the Nation of Israel(and Judah). Israel failed to achieve this as it fell over and over until it was eventually cursed and scattered by the God of Israel back in 720 BC and then beginning in 70AD(Israel and its sister nation, Judah. Preaching an idea that is unattainable by design is ludicrous and some would say insane!

Religious folks are known to be quite to spewing soundbites but extremely slow at reasoning the meaning or implications of such soundbites.

Answers will never come because we have a bunch of sycophants everywhere. By the time they are tired of praise-singing, they will get sense.

If you think God 'Jesus Christ' would not know that the woman will persisted. Then you're joker. He only needed the legal right to step in and the woman give him that right through her faith... God loves everyone of us equally, made reservations for us through His death and resurrection. We are the wild vine that has been grafted the vine tree. We are now Joint hier no more slaves.

That's because you are low on IQ

Jesus used every event to teach. He's never in a hurry, his timing is always right.

Your reasoning isn't different from those that thought he came late to see his best friend lazarus.

But he saw it as opportunity to teach and proof to the crowd that he is the resurrection and life.

In the other event, he was teaching the crowd the power of faith through the woman n her child's ailment

From choosing fishers of men to his death n resurrection is full of teachings

Righteousness Exalts A Nation: One Thing Nigeria Could Learn From A Cat

Normally, a cat is not an animal most Christians would want to associate themselves with, considering the negative reputation it has generally among Christians.

I myself am not endeared to cats, and barely had any interactions with them in my entire lifetime. However on this particular occasion, I had paid a visit to a family friend and stayed there for several days.

A cat happened in the house, so that was how me and this particular cat crossed paths.

It's an interesting story as to how the cat got there in the first place, because this was also a christian family well known to hate the sight of cats not to talk of having them around, but that's a long story which may distract from the topic, so let me not go there just yet.

Now during my stay there, I observed the cat was very selective when it comes to food.

It doesn't eat rice, beans, yam, plantain, among others, so whenever any of the above is placed in its plate, it often end up in the refuse bin. If not there, it gets being devoured by cats of neighbors closeby, to suggest that the cat is quite unique in the way it selects food, however as a result it's often left hungry even when its plate is full of food.

It happens to often eat bread though and also appears to love licking soup especially draw. But of course, fish, meat are his favourite food as expected.

So whenever someone was about to eat swallow especially, somehow it is able to sense that what it craves was inside the plate of food the person is carrying, so it would follow the person hoping some of its favorite food could drop for it from the plate.

I usually share some of such with it while eating as a result, so it is usually hopeful of getting something whenever I was eating hence hardly misses such moments.

One day, it was already hanging around where I had put my food and was about to eat. However it appeared I forgot something so had to go downstairs to get it. Something appeared to delay me though so my food was left open for a while, but then when I remembered the cat was already there waiting, I shouted and rushed back to see what had become of my open food while I was gone. I sincerely thought it would have already pounced on the food and devoured especially the meat and fish inside.

But when I came back I just saw the cat still lying down close to the stool but the food was intact. I was shocked because the plate of food contained its favorite fish and meat and it was really close to it, yet it didn't touch it.

Perhaps I didn't need to be shocked if that's the nature of cats but I didn't know much about cats anyway. I don't still know if this is the same with all cats but this particular one doesn't touch any food that doesn't belong to it.

Despite being hungry, it waited patiently for me to finish what I was doing to come and give it some meat and fish by myself before it would eat.

I was seriously impressed and it made me want to give it as much as possible. Funny thing is that when I give it, it could take it and run somewhere to secure while eating it, but it doesn't touch someone else's food.

It was a real eye-opener that a cat could have such discipline.

It made me begin to imagine what Nigeria would have become if we as Nigerians and our leaders had such discipline not to take what doesn't belong to us.

The Bible says, "righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people." Proverbs 14:34

That's why a nation so richly endowed and blessed by God, is yet the poverty capital of the world.

It because of sin (mindless stealing and corruption) which would bring reproach to any nation.

At this time when Nigeria is suffering much poverty, hardship, and reproach due to lack of discipline on the part of her leaders and people, Nigeria could surely do well to learn something from the cat.

God bless.

maybe naija Christians. They love cats out there both Christians and non Christians

This "understanding" of yours supooses false the content of Scripture. The God of Israel revealed through His Prophets that His new agreement would be made with the House of Israel -- not just the Jewish subsection of it. it is indeed recorded that Salvation would begin with the Jewish subsection of Israel -- the House of Benjamin, Judah and Levi --, however, that in no way chances that revealed by God which is that the agreement belongs only to the House of Israel -- all 12 tribes only.

Jesus Christ said He was sent by His Father to the Lost sheep of Israel -- the House of Israel. Jesus Christ spoke the Truth of God. And He, Jesus Christ, never changed His Word, nor His mind regarding this. His Word is afterall the same yesterday, today, and forever more. So, why not believe Him?

You don't seem to believe any of what Jesus Christ said, do you? The same Jesus Christ who referred to Israelites as Lost sheep and to Non-israelites as Dogs in that context is equally recorded to have warned His followers -- His sheep -- not to give that which is Holy to the dogs in Matthew 7 vs 6.

Yes, Jesus Christ warned His followers ( themselves of the blood of Jacob or Israel) not to give the Gospel (that which is Holy) to Non-israelites aka dogs. He was after all sent by His Father only to the Lost sheep of Israel, descendants of Jacob.

Hanndye:
∆ When you are in the household of God, the loving God regards you as his children. Outside are dogs and what have you.
As for the way Jesus treated the woman, it shows that salvation is of the Jews and not of any other nation, not of Arabs or what have you.

Later, after accomplishing His mission He would say:

15“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:15,16.

I am afraid you have it all twisted on all sides. Jesus Christ never changed His mind regarding those whom His father gave to Him given that at the same end which you reference He also proclaimed that His Words would never change. So when He sent His followers into the world...the world He sent them into was the same world He said His father sent Him, the world that was of the Lost sheep of Israel and not the dogs -- non-israelites.

∆ Cats easily betrays their owner spiritually but dogs and sheep remain faithful and even die for their owners. An enemy can possess your cat spiritually and use it gain access to your life thus bringing you evil,badluck, miscarriages etc.

Matthew 15 vs 20 - 28. The Canaanite woman asked for God's mercy available through the Covenant of David --- redemption that is only available to the Lost sheep of Israel; Jesus Christ refused her it on the basis that she was a dog - a Non-israelite. He instead allowed her have what are crumbs that fall from the table off the children of the master.

The Canaanite woman was most likely not the first Non-israelite healed by Jesus Christ and she must not have been the first to have faith in the land given that all foreigners living in the land were required to live according to the Law of Moses -- faith. However, she had asked for that which belonged only to the children of the master and the children of the master are the Lost sheep of Israel.

You are very ignorant of this things. Jesus Himself lived under the old testament rules and regulations. His followers were also under the old testament laws. It was after His death and resurrection that Christianity began right on the Pentecost day with the Apostle Peter opening the door of the Kingdom (preaching the first sermon) as fortold. Thereafter, every one is welcome. The Book of Revelation reportedly says the Holy Spirit says 'Come' to everyone.

I am afraid the ignorant one here is you. From the moment they met Jesus Christ, His followers ceased to live under the Old Law embracing the new Law instead. Jesus Christ prepared them to endure the same suffering that He did as their master. He called them students/sheep proclaiming He was their Teacher. Even the Pharisees asked Jesus Christ why His followers did not fast as they who were under the Old Law of Moses did, and if you recall Jesus Christ's response to them, you would not that even then He pronounced a rule that was different from that contained in the Old Law in response to their query. It is for this reason that the actions of the disciples continued to bring fear to the religious establishment of the time even after Jesus Christ was taken away from the picture.

These ideas you spew, all of which contradict the very Gospel according to Jesus Christ, in an attempt to distract from the main which is that Jesus Christ indeed warned His followers not to give that which is Holy—redemption by way of the Gospel —to the Non-Israelites(the dogs in even Matthew 7 vs 6) are taken from lies fed you by religious leaders who reject Jesus Christ and assert their ideas in His place.

Tell me how they fast according to the Old testament
This is what the Holy Spirit says in the Book of
Revelation (22:17):
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.

On Jesus part He had said:
'Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,' Matthew 28:19.

If you like to know this is what had transpired :

Genesis 22:15-18
15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring[a] all nations on earth will be blessed,[b] because you have obeyed me.”

Why are these desperate attempts to deviate from the main issue here which is that Jesus Christ did establish that His Father sent Him ONLY to the Lost Sheep of Israel?

2. This is instead what is written in the context you quoted from the book of Revelations. Notice that the context of what is written is the same Jesus Christ whose teachings and commandments are recorded in the Gospels.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,
19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.[d] Amen. - Revelations 22 vs 16 - 21

The Holy Spirit whom you pretend spoke a different thing did not change anything of what Jesus Christ said in His Gospels. He upholds Jesus Christ, the one who told you in Matthew 15 vs 24 that He was sent by His Father — the God of Israel — only to the Lost sheep of Israel. Why you go all the way to the Book of Revelations for information to try to make a liar of Him is beyond me.

3. Here's the message that Jesus Christ gave to His followers in that same passage you quoted from. Note that the instruction was that His followers teach to those whom they are sent to all that which He, Jesus Christ previously taught to them, and this would include....

16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[b] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28 vs 16 - 20

... the fact that dogs(Non-Israelites) were not to be given that which is Holy, and redemption as offered by Jesus Christ via the Davidic covenant does not belong to the dogs (Non-Israelites).

The World Jesus Christ sent His followers into is the same world that He made clear was previously cursed by God in the desert after which He then raised the Bronze snake - John 3 vs 14 - 18. That world consisted only of the children of Israel— the Lost sheep of Israel described in Matthew 20 vs 22-24—, and that is the same world that He sent His disciples into. There are today Israelites in pretty much all nations of the world, and the work He sent His disciples out to do is to gather them all back from every tribe, every tongue, and every nation of the world, just as described in Matthew 25 vs 31 - 33.

So, why do you reject Jesus Christ and His commandments is what the issue here at this point?

Hanndye:
Case closed, isn't it?

The issue here is Jesus Christ — His teachings and commandments, God's Law — seems more of an afterthought to you than anything else. You seem to be under some idea that everything Jesus Christ said must be interpreted based on your ideas of what is presented in the rest of the New Testament— Ideas mostly culled from that which you have gleaned from your religious leaders. This is as opposed to validating everything else presented in the rest of the New Testament against that which was first spoken by Jesus Christ. Why?
