Are We The New Chosen People by KnowAll(m): 10:50am On Jan 18, 2009 |
Like the isrealites of the old testament are we the mordern day Chosen People On my recent few trips to Nigeria, I noticed the proliferation of Churhes in every nook and corner, I know some people we come out and start saying that churches are industry in its own right in Nigeria today. I think it is a worthwhile development, I think it is necessary we do not lose sight of the central essence of the Gospel which is to win souls for the lord. The fact a pastor mis-appropiate church funds is something that the pastor will have to answer in the day of judgement. I think we Nigerians should be proud that we have direct line with the lord. Reason for my summations are the followings : 1. Remember General Sani Abacha he was a brutal dictator, I have been informed by reliable source he died because very strong christains prayed and fasted for 40 days praying for change in the country. The result Abacha went to bed never to wake up again. Christains in Nigeria continue to put your faith in God. With faith we as christains can move mountains. See what is happening in Zimbabwe, the people should go on there knees and pray for salvation. 2. The man that rose from the dead, the death of that pastor in Onitsha, was well documented, 3 doctors confirmed he was dead, his body was taken all over the place for 3 days and on the 3rd day he rose back to life in Raihman bonker's crusade. I am not argueing for or against whether it happened, the fact is, it is still the best example of mordern day resurection till date. 3. Pastor Ashiomolowo's church in England has the largest congregation in Europe. 4. The Nigerian branch of the Anglican church has broken ranks with its parent church in England. The reason been churches in england and american beleifs in having gay bishops. This view is un-acceptable to Nigerian bishops we follow the word of the bible not political correctness. 5. I read an article in which the world bank said Nigerians economy defiles economic theory. The economy of Nigeria should have collasped long time ago with spate of corruption taken place there, but for His grace we are weathering the storm we thank God for that. There are more points but I want others to contribute to this Good thing that is happening in our Country[b][/b] |

KnowAll: Is this a joke or what? during Abacha's regime Nigerians had electricity but today Nigerians are with out electricity, in fact power generation has never been at this low level ever. Christians in Nigeria have continued to put their trust in God and what have they gotten in return? How have the trust Nigerians have in their Gods helped the country? How has it helped in reducing the very high cases of armed robbery, disease, poor level of education, very high rate of road accidents, niger delta crisis, poverty, unemployment, premature death, lack of value for human life and the current state and cesspool that has become Nigeria? Do you think prayers alone can change Zimbabwe? There is a country called Sweden where 80 percent of the people living in that country do not believe in any God or Gods, they never pray and yet they have one of the best countries on earth. 2. The man that rose from the dead, the death of that pastor in Onitsha, was well documented, 3 doctors confirmed he was dead, his body was taken all over the place for 3 days and on the 3rd day he rose back to life in Raihman bonker's crusade. I am not argueing for or against whether it happened, the fact is, it is still the best example of mordern day resurection till date. This is a BIG lie no doctor ever confirmed that he ever died. Are you serious by your comments of not arguing if it really happened or not? Modern day ressurection? A Tale of Lies, Deceit, and Fraud. http://www.secularhumanism.org/library/aah/igwe_11_3.htm 3. Pastor Ashiomolowo's church in England has the largest congregation in Europe. Most of the people that attend his church are Nigerians, going to church has become a culture amongst Nigerians. Back when I was in Sweden Nigerians always went to church. 4. The Nigerian branch of the Anglican church has broken ranks with its parent church in England. The reason been churches in england and american beleifs in having gay bishops. This view is un-acceptable to Nigerian bishops we follow the word of the bible not political correctness. The Anglican Church was created by an English king for his people because the catholic church will not allow him divorce his wife. Can't you see the word Anglo inside what has that got to do with Nigeria? Nigerians do not accept gays and lesbians but they accept killing each other in the name of religion. 5. I read an article in which the world bank said Nigerians economy defiles economic theory. The economy of Nigeria should have collasped long time ago with spate of corruption taken place there, but for His grace we are weathering the storm we thank God for that. Is this a joke or what? and how is Nigeria's economy doing? The Nigeria economy has been in comatose for the past 20 years. By the way this drivel of yours are the assertions of an uneducated person I must say. |

@bindex that your copy and paste I must say is a 'mishmash of lies'. I'm sure as a rational person,you properly verified the story in which you put your little faith. @poster We are not 'the chosen ones'.There's nothing like that in the bible.The chosen ones are all who have been born of God whether gentile or jew. |

Image123: Mishmash of what lies? Can you give me the names of the doctors that confirmed the guys death? Its a fact that the guy was not embalmed why did Bonnke, who calls himself a man of God, go so far as to lie to the world by claiming that Daniel Ekechukwu was injected with embalming fluid? Why did Rev Bonnke not bring back to life several Nigerians who were trampled to death during his crusades in Benin and Abeokuta? Can he ever claim to have raised the dead in his native Germany? |

Bonke doesn't work miracles. Its God that works miracles through him.and it is appointed to man once to die,after this the judgement.God doesn't go about raising people from the dead for bindex's fancy.He's not a magician.raising people from the dead are/not priority.Its a miracle of mercy to be given such a rare second chance.I wonder why you barely even acknowledge that the man was 'miraculously raised from your beloved coma'.everything else has to be true to you except God.you go and do your personal research on the matter. |
