Puss360:
The duty of a parent is to train their daughters to know themselves...
If you know yourself, you will know that from 20 yrs is now an adult and at that age any of your actions has to be taken with care....
From that age You should know when you feel you are ready for marriage, nobody should coerce you ..
You should also know the kind of man you are getting married to, nobody should know the man more than you....
If along the lane of marriage, you discover some toxic behaviour, decision to leave should rest on your shoulder Nd not your parents...

Remember, it's your marriage, it's your husband...
Not theirs...

I noticed that some people sees use of WhatsApp for calls as unprofessional.

I prefer WhatsApp calls to normal voice calls because it's more cheaper and also helps save normal call airtime for lines that are not registered on WhatsApp.

A woman refused to engage me in business discussion because I called her via WhatsApp. She feels I'm not serious or professional enough.

Do you have any issues with WhatsApp calls for business/official purposes?

God1000:
He's entitled to his own opinion

A woman who knows her worth needs no validation. She knows she brings a lot to the table; Love, compassion, support, prayer, wisdom, ambition, vision, intelligence, value and drive."

She needs to be putting in the same level of effort that I am. If someone isn't willing to meet you half way to begin with, it's not a relationship and it's not worth pursing.

Myer:
I opened this pseudonym some years back after I backslided.

I had been very vocal of my salvation and journey as a Christian via my original account-pressplay411.
So it came as a shock that I could backslide, worse still I could not explain the reason for my backsliding. I did not fornicate or commit any of the obvious sins, I just felt a spiritual drought- I stopped experiencing the presence of the Holyspirit in my life.

I struggled with this for months, but instead of getting better, it was getting worse. When I noticed I had started rubbing off my doubts on those close to me, I decided it was best I left the church for a while. Luckily the nature of my job allowed me to travel across the nation so my pastors and church friends mostly assumed I was on official capacity as usual.

I isolated myself and eventually went back to my vomit- drinking, masturbating, fornication, etc. It only got worse with time. This would continue for about 3 years. I enjoyed the first half of backsliding. But the next half was hell on earth. Everything came crashing, including relationship, job, business, family etc. I hit rock bottom when my health could no longer sustain my lifestyle. I started to develop liver issues cos I had lost control over drinking.
I felt hopeless.

I would attempt to go back to church occassionally but it just didn't feel the same. The darkness had a claim to my soul that the light could not extinguish. Or so it seemed.

My mom, my angel was depressed. It hurt to put her through all this. Yet I had no way out.
The thought of her son drifting off before her eyes was unbearable. I knew I had to try for her. She cried, I cried.
She would eventually invite me through her friend to MFM and I agreed. Let me give it one more try.
I went through a 3 day prayer and fast at the prayer city. Got back home feeling something had happened but scared I needed to find a good MFM church to help me continue in the faith before I samk back into my habits. God had other plans
I would eventually end up in a small church close to my house. And the rest they say is history.

I rededicated my life to Christ early January this year and God has been faithful.
Please thank God for me. I am moved to tears that I can find salvation once again.
The story of the prodigal son hits different when i read or hear it now.

I don't know if anyone reading this has lost hope in life, people, God, etc. Please know that hope is all we have. Just have hope.
My hope is in Christ. And he saved me once again.

Please thank God for me.
Jesus Saves.
Hallelujah!
I

Kobojunkie:
These long epistles are unnecessary because at the end of the day, what matters is whether you have actually started the journey in Jesus Christ or just playing religion round #2 or is it round #10. You rededicated your life to Jesus Christ, you claim, but where is the evidence that you were once born-again — born of water AND born of the spirit — and that you are even today? Where is the proof that Jesus Christ said all those who are born of Him will have? What is it? Do you have the proof that Jesus Christ said everyone who is born-again will have? Or do you like over a billion who equally claim to believe in Jesus Christ simply hear a voice on the inside of your head that you conveniently tell yourself belongs to the holy spirit?

Let me share mine too
For some days now, I've been trying to understand the things I saw while asleep.

1) I was in a trance and saw myself walking around my compound at about 3am, then I saw a person cooking with firewood in the compound. I felt it was a woman because of the dressing (wrapper& blouse with feminine voice and body). The person was cooking outside, near my neighbour's apartment. I wanted to see the person that is cooking at such unholy hour and she shouted that I should not come close. I refused and went there. This made her to stop cooking and then she packed up all the cooking materials and started walking away. As she passed by me, I looked at her face and she didn't have any face. It was blurred. I'm even having goosebumps as I write now. At that moment, I wanted to shout "Jesus" but my mouth refused to open until she walked away. Then I woke up.

2) I had a dream where I went to buy provision in a shop. I didn't see what I wanted, then I saw that they also had seeds for sale. I decided to buy okra seeds for planting. The owners of the shop decided to give me the okra seeds for free. They also gave me other different seeds and also plenty garri in a big white nylon. As I was leaving, the shop owner spoke my native language and mentioned my late grandpa. He was stylishly telling me that he knows me well. I was surprised and I left the place. On my way, some of the garri was leaking from the nylon on the road. People were also looking at me as I was carrying the garri and seeds.

I have been trying to understand the meaning

1) your first dream has alot to do with 3am (THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL HOUR in the numerology chart of spirituality... you need to be alert in prayer at this time daily for some months and you will see changes sir) .........there is an ENTITY that comes to your house at that hour.... be very vigilant in prayer and according to the vision you will send it packing. NOW, ABOUT TRYING TO MENTION THE NAME JESUS.... it means your access to UNLOCKING his name is very very weak.... NEXT TIME, don't call His name if you are not in GOOD relationship with HIM and when you make your relationship firm with our Lord Jesus... Simply THINK HIS NAME and any force around you will bow


2) ONE THING STRIKING IN THIS VISION.... you were helped by the result of your LATE grandfather's goodness to someone ..... that is help from the spirit world oh.... BUT PHYSICALLY, YOU WERE LOOSING WHAT YOU WERE GIVEN AND NO ONE HELPED YOU....

You need to pray for help... USE PSALM 51, 115 AND 91

Hello house. There are two confusing dreams i keep having.

1. There is a laptop i own, but it got spoilt around 2019(hard disk issue). I tried repairing in 2021, only to notice alot of it parts aren't functioning as well. So i gave up, resolving to buy a new one.

I dreamt twice (3 months ago and few days ago) seeing the laptop booting and functioning well. I woke up, tried booting the laptop, but it wasn't working.

2. I stayed with my uncle who's a pastor in PH city around 2010, i completed my secondary school over there. Though they had a house help, I usually help out with chores.

I keep having this dream, seeing myself back in my uncle's house running errants and doing chores.

Most people would say that my second dream signifys backwardness. But sometimes dreams mean something different from what is seen.


Can i get help from holyspirit filled people in the house?

Kobojunkie:
I take this to mean you don't have answers but your ego — which you refuse to let die— will not allow you admit this..

Kobojunkie:
1. So in Isaiah 59 where God made clear that your sins made filthy all that is you to Him, you think rather than God, I made that up?

Where in Isaiah 64, it clearly shows that Isaiah in fact said that sin is what makes filthy your good works, you think that I made that up instead?

2. According to Jesus Christ, only those who are Holy are capable of having the Spirit of Truth aka the Holy Spirit - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23 - and since I am still seeking first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) and God's Righteousness....I am not there yet to have Him.

So, do you also reject what Jesus Christ said in this case as well?

Hi everyone, I will appreciate ur advice...

My son is 2yrs old , when he was born I and my wife named him Charles but my wife's mother and father can't stop calling him Daniel, when ever my son is at their place for holidays or visits, they call him Daniel and all their neighbors and friends now call my son Daniel.

I remembered I told my wife about it and her mother heard and felt bad, he is my son and not theirs, I understand grandparents give their grand children names too, I have a name from my grandparents but they call me by the one my parents gave me...

What do I do house?

Stop that imagination biko, it's not easy out there o . May we not move from " where should we settle " to "what are you putting on" 😄😄
It's nice when a traditional man meets a traditional woman without any trying to"change" the other. And when two modern people who are not bothered with swapping roles meet, it is great too. The goal is to be on the same page and make life better for each other.

Naturally I don't like people who talk a lot much while I may excuse it in women it is a complete turn off for me when a guy talks or complain too much . I can't last a moment with a nag, my friends knows once I sigh and ask "what do you want" it means I am a minute away from shutting them out. . Na why I dey fear settling down with all these guys wey go dey chochocho everytime. These ones will frustrate someone, nah them type dey do surveillance for meat inside pot. I can't deal . My Peace is very important to me.

Baba Chinua Achebe famously said concerning the Igbo:
“I will be the first to concede that the Igbo as a group is not without its flaws. Its success can and did carry deadly penalties: the dangers of hubris, overweening pride, and thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or, even worse, than can obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of crude showiness. There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behavior that can offend by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.”
So long as the Igbo fail to deal with the above problem they will have problems of acceptance EVERYWHERE!

1. I see. There is no mention that the Holy Spirit first rested on any of the men listed before they became righteous. So, my question still stands. And Jesus Christ was not available to those of the Old Covenant since the contract He represents applies specifically to the sinners of Israel of which the OT righteous men are not a part of. Jesus Christ said this severally that He came to call the sinners to repentance and not the righteous. So, again, Scripture has it that before Jesus Christ showed up with the Kingdom of God, the following people were able to attain God's righteousness without the Holy Spirit working it for them, people like Moses, Jacob, Isaac, Joseph, Isaiah, Abraham, Abel, Noah, Job, David, Jonah, Obadiah, Anna, Zechariah( and his wife Elizabeth), Joseph(father of Jesus Christ), Joseph of Arimathea, Zaccheus, etc. So, my question to you is when you say no flesh can meet God's standard of righteousness, what exactly do you mean by that? Expound on this idea so I better understand what you are in fact driving at.

2. As for the verse you quoted from Paul's epistle, I am not certain what that verse has to do with righteousness. Or can you explain why you felt it necessary to include that verse in this?

Something else I noticed from your response is that you all but conclude that the Spirit Paul in fact spoke of in chapter 8 of his epistle to the Romans is the Holy Spirit but Paul never mentions the term Holy Spirit, so why assume the spirit in question is the Spirit of Truth aka the Holy Spirit?

Kobojunkie:
According to Jesus Christ, there are two Spirits. The first is the Spirit of Life aka Eternal Life also the one who sinners born of when we become born-again. Then you have the Spirit of Truth aka the Holy Spirit who only inhabits those who are Holy/Perfect vessels --- recall Jesus Christ urged His followers to become Holy even as God Himself is Holy --- worthy of God Himself. Both of them belong to God since they are the same Spirits that live inside of Jesus Christ-- the way, the Truth and the Life -- and they each serve different purposes in the life of His followers.

So, how does this answer the questions I asked you?

Kobojunkie:
1. Yes, I am and I have the proof that Jesus Christ said all those who are would too in John 3 vs 1 - 21. Are you born-again and do you also have the proof that Jesus Christ said all those who are will have ?

1. Before we run away with your many other theories, let's consider your first claim to better understand what exactly it is you are saying here. Scripture has it that before Jesus Christ showed up with the Kingdom of God, the following people were able to attain God's righteousness without the Holy Spirit working it for them, people like Moses, Jacob, Isaac, Joseph, Isaiah, Abraham, Abel, Noah, Job, David, Jonah, Obadiah, Anna, Zechariah( and his wife Elizabeth), Joseph(father of Jesus Christ), Joseph of Arimathea, Zaccheus, etc. So, my question to you is when you say no flesh can meet God's standard of righteousness, what exactly do you mean by that?

Kobojunkie:
1. The Father Himself is the one who determines if one has attained His standard of righteousness and when. To qualify one must be born-again and have the proof that Jesus Christ said all who are would have. Afterward, one is then to seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) and then God's righteousness. Both are attained by continuing to live one's life in submission and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ- John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23 & John 15 vs 7 - 11.

2. God notifies those who Have Him living on the inside of them of His decision.

bmd10mix:
See how home breaker they praise God

Kobojunkie:
Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of pleas. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all.

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that.

You need to understand the meaning of the word "amiss" in order to realize what James was instead trying to tell you in that verse that you pulled from his epistle. If you consult Webster's dictionary, you will find that the word means to be in an imperfect state, a state that is not in the right order aka unrighteous. What James was saying in that verse is that the reason you do not receive from God is that you are asking in an unrighteous state—a state that is not in accordance with God's mandate of righteousness. So, clearly, you cannot benefit anything from remaining in an unrighteous state as far as God is concerned. That is what God said, and James reiterated it in that verse there.
