  hey girl, you'd be suprised at how much fun baseball is  .
glad to hear all is well with you  . When Analytical first created this topic I was so happy because it was a breath of fresh air from the pollution the main religion board had become. But you know, there's always a good topic once in a while where you can learn much from, though they are rare. And a few genuine seekers asking honest questions that could use godly answers from people like you. So ejo nor leave us oh   your presence is highly appreciated!  Have a lovely weekend.

  Analytical,
its been a while. I hope you are well  .

  Gamine, Kola, Queen, Brain, Doyin and everyone else - have a Fantastic weekend! 

Perfect idea.

Jesus Christ, is the hope of all nation.

--Verse (Yolanda)--
I pray You’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way

Lead us to a place
Guide us with Your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe

--Verse (Donnie)—(Yolanda)
I pray we’ll find Your light (I pray we’ll find Your light)
And hold it in our hearts (and hold it in our hearts)
When stars go out each night (when stars go out each night)
Remind us where You are (remind us where You are)
Let this be our prayer (let this be our prayer)
When shadows fill our day (when shadows fill our day)

(D) – Oh Lord, lead us to a place, oh my
(Y) – Guide us with Your grace (guide us with Your grace)
(D/Y) – Give us faith so we’ll be safe

Both:
A world where pain and sorrow will be ended
And every heart that’s broken will be mended
And we’ll remember we are all God’s children
Reaching out to touch you, reaching to the sky

We ask that life be kind (we ask that life be kind)
And watch us from above (and watch us from above)
We hope each soul will find (we hope each soul will find)
Another soul to love (another soul to love)

(D/Y) – Let this be our prayer (let this be our prayer)
(D) – Just like every child (just like every child)

Both:
Needs to find a place
Guide us with Your grace
Give us faith so we’ll be safe

The concluding testimonies of the divine revelation of heaven by seven youths

--- (5th Testimony) ---

(2 Corinthians 5:10)
For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, so that each may receive as his due what he practiced while in the body, whether good or bad

In the Kingdom of Heaven, we could see the New Jerusalem which the Bible tells us about in John 14:2, "In My Father's house are many dwelling places.  If this were not so, I would have told you.  For I am going away to prepare a place for you."  We could see the city and enter it; it is a real and wonderful city!  Jesus went there to prepare those dwelling places for us. 

In the city and we could see that each residences or house had the owner's name written in front of the house.  This city is not yet inhabited, but it is ready for us.  We were allowed to go inside the houses and see all the things inside.  But later when we left the city, we forgot the things we saw, those memories were taken away from us.  However, we can remember that the columns of the houses are plated with precious metals and have many different types of precious stones encrusted in them.  They also have pure gold in them. 

The gold of this city is like the Bible describes; it is almost transparent, and so shiny.  The gold on Earth can not be compared in luster and beauty to the gold that is in Heaven.
After this, we were taken to a place that had lots of containers.  Inside those containers were crystallized tears.  Those were the tears that the sons of God shed on the Earth.  They were not tears of complaints, but tears that people shed when they are in the presence of God; tears of repentance, tears of gratitude.  God keeps these tears as a precious treasure in Heaven, just like it is mentioned in Psalms 56:8, "Thou takest note of my roaming; and put my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?"

We also came to a place where many many angels were.  Although in Heaven we could see many different types of angels, this place had just one special type.  We saw that Jesus, has a specific angel for each person.  He also showed us that this angel will be close to us during our entire existence.  He introduced us to the angels assigned to us.  We got to see their characteristics, but God told us that we are not allowed to reveal these things to others.  We read in Psalms 91:11, "For He gives His angels orders regarding you, to protect you wherever you go."

We came to a place with many lockers, within them were many different flowers.  Some flowers were open, beautiful and radiant.  But other were kind of droopy, and some others ones were even shriveled.  We asked Jesus what the meaning of all those flowers were?  He answered, "It is because the life of each of you is like one of these flowers." He took one of the radiant flowers and said, "This flower shows the condition of the communion that you have with Me."  He left that flower and took another one that was down.  He said, "Look, this person is down because they are having a trial, or a difficulty.  There is something in this life that is interrupting the communion with Me.  Do you know what I do with these flowers when they are down in order to make them brilliant and healthy again?" He then took the flower in His hand and said, "I shed my tears over them and I raise them up."  We saw how in a powerful way this flower began to have life again and raise up and its colors began to appear again.
Then He took one of the shriveled flowers and He threw it into the fire and said, "Look, this person had known me and walked away from Me.  Now he dies without me and it is thrown to the fire." (John 15:5-6)

When we left there, we saw a beautiful castle very far in the distance.  Nobody dared to get close to that castle, and we believe that is what the Scriptures talk about in Revelation 22:1, "He then showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing forth from the throne of God and of the Lamb."  We believe that the castle was probably located near the presence and throne of God.

While experiencing all these things in the Kingdom of Heaven, we had so much joy in our hearts, we had a peace that passes all understanding. (Philippians 4:7) We understood as it is written in 1 Peter 1:4, "to an inheritance imperishable , unsullied, and unfading that is kept safely in heaven for you."
________________________________________
--- (6th Testimony) ---

(Luke 22:30)
"that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and you will be seated on thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel."

In that marvelous place, God allowed us to see the most beautiful reception hall that we ever thought could exist anywhere in the universe.  We saw a giant throne with two chairs in pure gold and precious stones that do not exist on Earth.  In front of the giant throne was a table that had no end, on it was white tablecloth.  It was so white that we couldn't compare it to anything on Earth. 
All manner of exquisite and refined foods was set on the table.  We saw grapes the size of oranges, and the Lord Jesus Christ let us taste some of them.  We still can remember their taste, it was something so wonderful!  My brother and friend, you can't imagine all the things that are ready in the Kingdom of Heaven and what God has already prepared for you. (1 Corinthians 2:9)
Also on the table, God allowed us to see the bread, the "Manna".  This was the bread of God that the Scriptures tells us about.  We were allowed to enjoy the taste along with many other wonderful things that don't even exist on Earth. 

These things are waiting for us as our incorruptible inheritance in the Kingdom of Heaven.  We will enjoy some amazingly exquisite and delicious foods when we inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.  We were amazed that the chairs were set on both sides of the table.  These beautiful chairs had names written on each one.  We could read clearly our names on those chairs, but our names were not the same ones that we have here on Earth.  They were the new names that nobody else knew but ourselves.  (Revelations 2:17)

What was written in the Word of God surprised us, "Do not rejoice that the demons submit to you, rejoice because your names are written in the Book of Life, that are written in the Heaven." (Luke 10:20)  There were a lot of chairs!  There is enough space for all of those who want to come to the Kingdom of Heaven.  There were also chairs that were taken away from the table.  That means that there are men and women who got tired of serving God, and their names were erased from the Book of Life and they are set away from the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.

God also allowed us to see men from the Bible, the wonderful saints that we read about in Scriptures.  We were surprised to see Abraham.  Abraham was an elder, but not in his body or his appearance.  He was an elder by the wisdom that he had.  Abraham's hair was totally white, but each hair was like glass filaments or diamond filaments.  What surprised us the most was that he was even younger than we are.  In Heaven, all of us will rejuvenate and be young.  We were also surprised by his words.  Abraham told us something that we will never forget.  He welcomed us to the Kingdom of Heaven and told us that soon we would be in that place, because the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is approaching quickly

A Lesson For Married Couples And Singles

You can enjoy and be revived daily, she's God's perfect match for you, maybe a change of attitude will help.
read on !

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and
said,

'I've got something to tell you'.

She sat down and ate quietly.  Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.
Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth.  But I had to let her know what
I was thinking.  I want a divorce.  I raised the topic calmly.

She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly,

'Why?'

I avoided her question.  This made her angry.  She threw away the chopsticks
and  shouted at me,

'You are not a man!'

That night, we didn' t talk to each other.  She was weeping.  I knew she
wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage.  But I could hardly
give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to a lovely girl
called Dew.  I did'nt love her anymore.  I just pitied her!

With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that
she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.  She glanced
at it and then tore it into pieces.  The woman who had spent ten years of
her life with me had  become a stranger.  I felt sorry for her wasted time,
resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved
Dew so dearly.  Finally she cried  loudly in front of me, which was what I
had expected to see.  To me her cry was actually a kind of release.  The idea
of divorce which had obsessed me for several  weeks seemed to be firmer and
clearer now.

The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at
the table.  I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep
very fast  because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew.  When I woke
up, she was still there at the table writing.  I just did not care so I
turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want
anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.  She
requested that in that  one month we both struggle to live as normal a life
as possible.  Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a months time
and she didn't want to disrupt  him with our broken marriage.

This was agreeable to me.  But she had something more, she asked me to
recall how I had carried her into our bridal room on our wedding day.  She
requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our
bedroom to the front door every morning.  I thought she was
going crazy.   Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted
her odd request.

I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions.  She laughed loudly and
thought it was absurd.  No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face
the divorce, she said scornfully.

My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was
explicitly expressed.  So when I carried her out on the first day, we both
appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his
arms.  His words brought me a sense of pain.  From the bedroom to the sitting
room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms.  She
closed her eyes and said softly;

'Don't tell our son about the divorce'.

I nodded, feeling somewhat upset.  I put her down outside the door.  She went
to  wait for the bus to work.  I drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of us acted much more easily.  She leaned on my
chest.  I could smell the fragrance of her blouse.  I realized that I hadn' t
looked at this woman carefully for a long time.  I realised she was  not
young any more.  There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying!
Our marriage had taken its toll on her.  For a minute I wondered what I had
done to her.

On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a  sense of intimacy
returning.  This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to
me.   On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of
intimacy was growing again. I didn't tell Dew about this.   It became
easier to carry her as the month slipped by.  Perhaps the everyday workout
made me stronger.

She was choosing what to wear one morning.  She tried on quite a few dresses
but could not find a suitable  one.  Then she sighed, all my dresses have
grown bigger.  I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the
reason why I could carry her more easily.
Suddenly it hit me.  She had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart.
Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.  Our son came in at the
moment and said,

'Dad, it's time to carry mum out.'   To him, seeing his father
carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his  life.  My wife
gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly.  I turned my face
away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute.  I then
held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom,  through the sitting room, to
the hallway.  Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her
body tightly, it was just like our wedding day.  But her much lighter weight made me sad.   On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step.  Our son had gone
to school.  I held her tightly and said, I had'nt noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

I drove to office,  jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the
door.  I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind,  I walked
upstairs.  Dew opened the door and I said to her,

'Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore.'

She looked at me, astonished.  Then touched my forehead.

'Do you have a fever?'

She said.  I moved her hand off my head.

'Sorry, Dew', I said,  'I won't divorce.  My marriage life was boring
probably because  she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not
because we didn't love each other any more.  Now I realise that since I
carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until
death do us apart.'

Dew seemed to suddenly wake up.  She gave me  a loud slap and then slammed
the door and burst into tears.  I walked downstairs and drove away.  At the
floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife.  The
salesgirl asked me what to  write on the card.  I smiled and wrote,

'I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.'

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship.
It is not the mansion, the car, property , the money in the bank,  blah, blah,  blah.   These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.  So find time to be
your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that  build intimacy.  Do have a real happy marriage!

If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you, but if you do, you just might save a marriage.

CBN.com – At 1:30 in the morning, Val Thomas woke up suddenly with severe chest pains. She called her sister, Sheila.

“The phone rang and I saw what time it was, and I thought, ‘well, something is wrong,’” Sheila said. “I thought maybe Val was going to tell me something had happened to Mom or our brother. And she said, ‘Sheila, can you come over?’  I said, ‘yes, what’s wrong?’ She said, ‘I’m having bad chest pain and I’m sweating profusely.’ I said, ‘yes, I’ll be right here.’”

Val called an ambulance, and then her son, Tim.

“Of course, any time a phone rings that early you, you know, may assume, something’s wrong. I left immediately,” Tim said. “About five minutes after I left, my wife called me back and she was crying. She said, ‘I’ve lost contact with your mom.’”

When EMS and family members got there, it was already too late. Val had suffered a massive heart attack.

“I went upstairs. I was still calling her name and she didn’t answer,” Sheila said. “When I went in the bedroom, then to the bathroom hallway, she was laying face down on the floor. Her skin was grey, and all I could say was, ‘oh, my God.’” 

“When I went upstairs, the paramedics were already working on Mom, doing CPR. She was already graying and I turned around and laid hands on her and started praying,” Tim said. “I said, ‘Mom, if you want to go home and be with Jesus . . . go.’  I said, ‘go home.’  Immediately after that I said, ‘Lord, she is in your hands.’” 

At the hospital, Val was placed on a machine called the Arctic Sun, which lowered her body temperature to prevent further damage to her organs and body.

“The odds were against her. The numbers and statistics show that, especially after a cardiac arrest, less than five percent ever get discharged from the hospital. Patients that do have an outcome are in a persistent vegetative state,” Dr. Kevin Eggleston said.

Val suffered two more heart attacks over the next 10 hours. The BIS monitor, which measured her brain waves, showed zero activity.

“Dr. Eggleston come back and said, ‘you need to make some decision,’” Tim said. “I needed confirmation that what I was about to do was the right decision; that’s to take Mom off of life support because the doctor said that’s the only thing keeping her breathing.”

Family members prayed for God’s direction.

“I said, ‘Lord, I need confirmation. I need confirmation right now, Lord, that what I’m about to do is the right thing. If there’s any chance, don’t let me make this decision.’  And I got a sense of peace, and other people in that room felt that same peace that the confirmation I was getting was definitely the right decision,” Tim said.

They decided to turn off the ventilator and end Val’s life.

“They shut the machine down. When they started to take the tube out, they said Mom’s left arm and left leg moved,” Tim said. “They automatically thought that that was just the nerves. She took the lead off and she said, ‘Mrs. Thomas, I’m so sorry.’ You know, how you just talk to yourself when you’re doing something. Mom coughed. And then she answered; Mom said, ‘that’s okay, honey,’ and the nurses just went crazy. And then she said, ‘Where-where’s my son?’” 

Hospital staff quickly called Val’s family.

“She said, ‘she’s breathing on her own. She’s got a pulse. She’s got a blood pressure and she’s responding to every command that we ask her to do. She’s moving her extremities,’ and she said, ‘I think you need to get back up here,’” Daniel said.

“I was overwhelmed when we got the call and said that she was alive again. I didn’t know whether to cry or to laugh and I think I did some of both,” Sheila said.

“I had no idea what took place, you know, when I first woke up,” Val said. "My family started telling me little-by-little what took place. And I do remember seeing a glow or a light at the foot of my bed.”

Hospital staff immediately ran tests on Val.

“They were amazed and they told me pretty much everything that my family had already told me. They did tell me that my heart was like a brand new heart. It was nothing – they did not see anything wrong. Nothing. And I was talking to them and they were amazed I was talking as well as I did,” Val said.

“I was at a different hospital and nurses paged me and I had to rush back over to see it for myself, because it was certainly an amazing feat and a miracle,” Dr. Eggleston said.

Val was eventually transferred to Cleveland Clinic for further testing.

“They couldn’t believe that my heart was in the condition it was when I went to Cleveland Clinic after what had happened. They didn’t find anything wrong either,” Val said. “He said, ‘medicine could not have done this,’ or ‘doctors could not have done this.’ And I said, ‘yes, it was a miracle from God.’”

“There are things that physicians and nurses, we can’t always explain; and I think this was one of those cases,” Dr. Eggleston said.

“You go from ‘you’re getting ready to lose your mom’ to ‘losing your mom’ to ‘she’s come back to life,’” Tim said.

“I thank God for bringing me back so that I can do what He wants me to do; and my son, Tim, it’s incredible the change in him as a result of what has happened to me,” Val said. “Every morning when I get up I thank God that I have another gift from Him. Every night when I go to bed I thank Him, I say ‘thank you God for this beautiful day

Have you ever meditated on this before?
PSALMS 33: 16-22

16 No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

17 A horse is a vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,

19 To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the LORD;
He is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.

22 Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.

Let your total TRUST be in the LORD. Be assured, you will never be stranded.

@ OLAADEGBU:
Someone sent me that story a couple of days ago.
After reading it I focused on the part where this man's lover came on the scene, wait a minute, he got himself involved in an unholy union that almost cost him his home and for what? selfishness.
We as christian men have to know that no matter how much you pray or serve the Lord you have to set boundaries between you and the opposite sex or else sooner or later you might be caught in the trap of adultery.
Your spirituality can't save you here, your deliberate decisions and actions will. Your spirituality points your conscience towards the truth but you need to 'will' to follow the truth.
I know a sister presently going through simply because the husband, a deacon in one of the biggest churches in Nigeria is having an affair with his secretary.
The lesson here for married persons is not to carry each other to the door or 'pretend' to be romantic before their children.
The lesson is set boundaries that protect your beautiful home or else you will find yourself living for 'self'. Even if the boundary means you sacking your secretary like I did years ago.
One last note to married and yet to marry brothers and sisters: If you want to enjoy peace, prosperity and protection, pour all the love you can on your family, especially your spouse and then expect a life of overflow.

Scripture for this day

Proverbs 14:15
The simple believes everything, but the prudent looks where he is going.

Hello everyone. I just want to say that from next week, I won't be visiting Nairaland frequently. I will be studying in the weekends at campus and as well be working during the weekdays.

Before I go here is something for everybody:

Mark 8:38 - 'For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.'

Psalm 118:8-9 - 'It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes.'

God is Love. God bless.

How is everyone doing?

Obinna all the best with your new endeavors . . . God will bless.

And do we have to send out a search party for Analytical? Where art thou oh brother?

and Kola thanks for this scripture:
16 No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

17 A horse is a vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,

A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago . They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly missed boarding.

ALL BUT ONE !!! He paused, took a deep breath, got in touch with his feelings, and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned. He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their home destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned to the terminal where the apples were all over the terminal floor.

He was glad he did. The 16-year-old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled about her, no one stopping and no one to care for her plight. The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them back on the table and helped organize her display As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and bruised; these he set aside in another basket. When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, 'Here, please take this $40 for the damage we did. Are you okay?' She nodded through her tears, He continued on with, 'I hope we didn't spoil your day too badly.'

As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called out to him, 'Mister. , ' He paused and turned to look back into those blind eyes. She continued[b], 'Are you Jesus?' [/b] He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made his way to catch the later flight with that question burning and bouncing about in his soul: 'Are you Jesus?'

Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as we live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace. If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would. Knowing Him is more than simply quoting Scripture and going to church. It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day. You are the apple of His eye even though we, too, have been bruised by a fall. He stopped what He was doing and picked you and me up on a hill called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged fruit. Have a blessed day

hi everyone,
it's been quite awhile. I appreciate the responses i got from you guys, i really do. This is the only tread where we impact one another's life with eternal blessings and life transforming words. We are not just nairalanders; we are brothers and sisters. We are bond by the lord we profess, christ.
That is why, i would really like you guys to join me in prayers, i don't think things are right between me and God. Please join your faith with mine that whatever it would take to have my relationship back with God, God himself would do it.
Also, my elder sister is ill,we just brought her back from luth today, the bills were enormous. I believe God can do anything through your prayers.By the way, her name is bunmi Ajayi. Love you all.
