HOW TO IDENTIFY PHARISEES IN YOUR CHURCH



1. They go to work early but come to church late.



2. They beg their boss when they err but threaten to leave church whenever there is a misunderstanding.



3. They work hard to be promoted at work but treat the work of God with levity.



4. They pay all their dues in the workplace but refuse to pay tithe in the church.



5. They buy costly things for their boss to get favour but can't even buy airtime for their pastor.



6. When they are not going to be in the office, they take permission ahead from their superior; but expect pastor and elders to pay them visits when they miss church without notice.



7. They fear and respect their boss than their pastor and even sometimes more than God.



8. When they are sick they manage to go to work but they cannot manage to come to the church.



9. They take official query serious but handle divine rebuke with disdain.



10. They tolerate their colleagues in the workplace but cannot tolerate the brethren.



11. They turn off their phones at workplace, but use calls to distract other worshippers in Church.



12. They can work overtime in the office but get offended at the pastor if he's not closing at the stipulated time.

Danzakidakura:
Liar Mohammed is the father of hate speech, I remember hate and abusive words him and his wicked APC members used against former president, even presently a Adeshina to open his mouth and speak against Igbo's and buhari government what did he want to achieved. Yoruba's start hate speech they want to incite Hausa's against the Igbo's but not knowing that the table will soon turn against them, until APC comes out to apologize for all the hate speech they introduce in Nigeria just because they want power.

I am convinced that President Muhammadu Buhari’s spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, has now finally lost his mind. In his latest essay, titled “The Sons of Shimmei“, he compared Buhari to the biblical King David, the greatest King that ever ruled Israel.

One is constrained to ask the following question: what on earth is Davidic about Buhari?

King David was a Spirit-filled believer and a heroic and courageous child of God whilst Buhari is a son of perdition and a tyrannical servant of satan.

In what can only be described as a chilling and irresponsible manner Femi also said that Buhari could have “cut off the heads” of his opponents, meaning he could have had them assasinated. Gosh. Jumping Jehoshaphat! What has happened to my old friend? Poor old Femi.

He has just made a cardinal spiritual blunder the consequences of which I have no doubt that he will deeply regret.

In this game you must never threaten your opponent with death because once invoked the Angel of Death usually returns back to sender. I shall pray for Femi because I want him to live long and prosper.

I knew that he was frustrated but I never knew he was a man of blood.

I never knew that he and his leader believed in murder as a tool of governance.

Yet the truth is that the Lord will see to it that they pay a terrible price for even thinking of taking the life of their detractors and political enemies both in this life and in the next.

The truth is that God alone gives and takes life and whether they like it or not He guards His own jealousy. The Bible says “touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm” . Consequently no-one is intimidated by Femi’s implicit death threat.

One thing is clear though: he ought to be mindful of the fact that whilst he and his associates are planning to take someone else’s precious life they may end up losing your own. Examples of such a course and turn of events are replete in the Holy Bible.

Femi mentioned the great Abishai who was a biblical hero in his own right and one of David’s strong men and allies. Abishai and David’s other strong men were courageous and righteous men who undertook a noble cause, who shed the blood of evil men and who fought against tyranny.

To compare members of Buhari’s cabal to David’s strong men is like comparing Queen Helen of Troy to a Bombay LovePeddler.

One is regal and queen-like in all her ways whilst the other is nothing but a cheap back-street, “short-time”, aides-infested woman of questionable character and easy virtue.

Femi has done a great disservice to Abisha by mentioning him in the same sentence as the cabal.

I say this because he was a soldier of truth and a gallant man of honor.

This is not the case with anyone in Buhari’s cabal. They are the opposite to the Abishai’s of this world. They are the darkness that seeks the darkness. They are predators who drink the blood of their innocent victims and feed on their flesh.

They prey on the weak, they destroy the young and they slay the old, the vulnerable, the defenceless and the weary.

Buhari has no Abishai’s around him. He has no Joab’s and no Prophet Samuel’s either. He only has the Absalom’s, Haman’s, Judas’, Dalila’s and Ahitophel’s of this world.

That is the tragedy and weakness of his presidency. That plus the fact that he does not fear God and he does not respect the rights of the Nigerian people. If he did he would have resigned long ago and handed over full power to his number two, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

Finally Femi wrote “when Buhari returns home some people will bury their heads in shame”. He is wrong.

The truth is that when Buhari returns home some people will prop him up and pretend that he is well enough to be President until he falls sick and goes back abroad again.

It is called “corspsocracy” and it is defined as “the rulership of the living by the dead”.

That is Nigeria’s biggest burden and challenge today.

Instead of telling us that his principal can kill us all Femi should consider his many failings and fluctuating health and advise him to resign honorably.

That is what a real believer and a true man of honor would counsel his erring and ailing boss to do and not try to intimidate those of us that are in opposition with blatent, vulgar and bullish threats of death and assasination.

The path of blood is a dark and unpredictable one. I advise Femi not to take it. Meanwhile I continue to wish both him and his principal well and we look forward to his eagerly anticipated return from nether nether land.

Femi Fani-Kayode is a lawyer, a Nigerian politician, an evangelical christian, an essayist, a poet and he was the Special Assistant (Public Affairs) to President Olusegun Obasanjo from July 2003 until June 2006. He was the minister of culture and tourism of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from June 22nd to Nov 7th 2006 and as the minister of Aviation from Nov 7th 2006 to May 29th 2007. He tweets from@realFFK.

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

Isn't it better to celebrate this bookworm cum sage, than to be facilitating immortality like Big Brother Africa abi Nigeria they called it...

VoltageDivida:
WOW.
And some people have written waec five times already without meeting the 'at least five credits' requirement. Yet the will be forming 'slay queen' on social media.

Luckylife:
Better late than never! Nigerians elected Buhari to stay with tham in Nigeria not UK. Not after catapulting Nigeria economy to Recession, fulanis heldmen killing , tribal wars, tomorrow uncertainties , unbearable very high cost of living etc he wouldn't bear the brunt with the citizens. Let the masses speak out so that good dividends of democracy will be delivered by politicians not only deceits.

I only see a poorly written infatuation by a poo slinging Yoruba muslim without any form of formal education, and who chooses to hide under the moniker "nwaanambra". SMH.

I am from Anambra State, if election does not hold, the Speaker of the House of Assemble will take over pending when referendum will hold. my brother stop beating the drum of fear, the movement is - no retreat, no surrender. God bless you.

Aburi001:
How did we really get here?

WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS!»»»
"Awolowo was 37 years,
Akintola 36,
Ahmadu Bello 36,
Balewa 34,
Okotie-Eboh 27
and Enahoro 27
And they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after the death of Macaulay.
Only Zik was 42 at the time!

In 1966, the first military coup was led by Kaduna Nzeogwu who was 29 years and countered by M.Mohammed 28,
T. Danjuma 28,
I. Babangida 25,
J. Garba 23,
Sani Abacha 23,
and M. Yar'adua 23,
And brought into power
Y. Gowon 32,
Ojukwu 33,
Obasanjo 29,
And Buhari 24!

Most of the military governors who governed the states under the successive military regimes were
under 30 years.

Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under 30!
Under 30's were also not in short supply with
appointments - we have examples of
MT Mbu who became Nigeria's Foreign Affairs Minister at 23 and Pat Utomi who became a Federal Adviser at 27.

Why is it that this age bracket is today still
collecting pocket money from their parents?

Why is it that this age bracket is today still writing JAMB?

Why is it that this age bracket today still 'sagg' their trousers?

And busy insulting each others on Nairaland, Facebook etc.

If the North says "leave my land" please do.....IT'S LEAVE MY LAND, IT'S NOT LEAVE MY WORLD.

But the main question is 'How did we get here'?

hatchy:
Kwankwaso is a known Jihadist who doesn't hide his hatred for Christians. He is worse than Buhari and will do anything and everything to defend his core Northerners anywhere in Nigeria.

saydfact:
Let me give u a more detailed explanation at how I arrived at the 4-5m I gave u on my thread...

Considering the size and the standard.

Roofing = 1m plus using aluminum or almost using fibre Cement roofing sheet. Let's stick with 1m

Windows = at about 21-24k per window (casement) for 1200 by 1200 with other sizes being relative. Total Windows are about 18 nos with some bigger than 1.2by1.2 = abt 550k

Doors = let's use 25k per door, thou ur steel doors for external wld cost about 50-75k depending on choice and size, we have abt 15 doors that's about 400k

Total for doors and windows = abt 1m also (remember you'll need Cement, sand to fix all)

Tiles = just budget 500k if you want to tile all floors and toilet walls. Your choice can make it more or less.

Ceiling to rooms = asbestos cost 1.4k per sheet of 1.2by1.2. Your square area is approx = 250m2 this about 240k for materials only. Add workmanship, Trans etc I'll say 350k

Electrical and plumbing = visit an electrical shop and you'll appreciate Nigeria cable is gold... Just budget 750k for electrical and another 500k for plumbing

I HOPE WE'VE NOT EXCEEDED 5m?

Good, so far we're on 4m only... .

Think about this, Buglary, Painting, plastering (which can't be less than 300k materials inclusive),

Need I type more? - Sorry I have to stop - A client just sent me a whatsapp message.

So in summary you can't really spend less than 5m

Good luck.

Lalasticlala - What u think?

xcolanto:
Scam! Government trying to save face..
Who arrests only one cow?
Like seriously, they mean one cow was singled out for arrest out of the hundreds?
Whoever came up with the script did a poor job, ent buying it.
Until we see mass arrest of cows and their herders in different locations, all na wash.
Rubbish!

Christophorus:
Does Abuja even have a Minister? The guy is just deaf and dumb in that office.

Back to Op.

APC. =. Arithmetically Progressing Cows...

Remember

Am not surprised.

CROWNWEALTH019:

ESDKING:
Election will hold, but nobody is voting oga policeman.
Igbos shall be celebrating their nsala day in their various homes while zooo policemen that have killed civilians more than boko haram have done will be at the pooling unit waiting for whom to unleash their frustration on.

I pity the unfortunate ones that will come out that day, if anything happens to you.. you will be seen as someone that committed suicide because you were warned.

Stay in your various homes let us see how they will come to your house and shoot you.
Blood sucking demons!!

magoo10:
Nigerians in their usual manner of forgetting easily have failed to ask for that report even after a panel was set up and chaired by the vice president.
Tomorrow some people will come out to tell us that Nigeria will be great ,and I ask How? with such brazen display of corruption? where some people are perceived to be untouchable ?

hohafrank:
The worst thing that has happened to Nigerian is the stark illiterate PMS being forced on us as president.
