Kei144: [size=12pt] [i] David took his staff in his hand--staff of authority. Do you have spiritual authority; are you abiding in Christ or are you compromised by sin? David chose five smooth stones from the stream. Do you know the way to the stream well enough? The stream is the word of God (the Bible). The five stones that David chose represent promises of God; you must choose the ones that relate to the Goliath that is facing you. David put the stones in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag; you must know these promises at heart. With his sling in his hand, David approached the Philistine. Do you have a sling that could throw a stone against the enemy? The stone is the word (promise) of God—the sword of the Spirit (Eph 6:17); so, the sling is the Spirit of God. Do you know how to sling the stone at Goliath and score a fatal hit? Some born-again Christians have the Spirit of Christ, but they cannot put the Spirit to use.

This is quite revealing. Thanks

falansa: Please how old is the Op? Will you tell me you have never heard or read anything about speaking in tongue since you were born? A 10year old can tell you the meaning. Honestly, I doubt your post. Hope you are not trying to gain attention?

I am surprised that we had to be the ones to tell the OP that when you are in God's presence and you speak/pray in an unknown language, then you are speaking in tongues

Whole grains are important part of any diet and have often been labeled the healthiest grains that anybody can eat. One of those whole grains is brown rice, which is rice that is natural and unrefined. Many people choose to eat brown rice instead of white rice because of its health benefits. But what makes it so healthy? Read on to find out.

1. IT LOWERS THE RISK OF DEVELOPING DIABETES
Harvard researchers have discovered that eating at least two servings of brown rice per week can lower the risk of developing diabetes. They found that by eating just 50 grams of brown rice a day, the risk of type 2 diabetes can be lowered by 16 percent, while other whole grains, such as barley and whole wheat, can lower the risk by 36 percent.

2. IT’S HIGH IN FIBER
Brown rice supplies 14 percent of the recommended daily value for fiber, an important nutrient that protects against colon cancer and breast cancer. Fiber tends to latch onto the chemicals that cause cancer and steer them away from the cells in the colon and breasts, preventing cancer from developing in those areas. Fiber also has many other health benefits including promoting cardiovascular health.

3. IT’S A GOOD SOURCE OF MANGANESE AND SELENIUM
One cup of brown rice contains 88 percent of the recommended daily value of manganese, a nutrient that plays an important part in fighting free radicals. Manganese is part of a compound known as superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant that prevents damage from free radicals created during the energy production process. Manganese is also important for deriving energy from protein and carbohydrates and plays a key role in the synthesis of fatty acids.
Selenium also plays a role in the antioxidant process and can destroy cancer cells and even repair DNA. Selenium is important for regulating the thyroid hormone metabolism and immune system function. Most people don’t take in the proper amount of selenium of which brown rice is a good source – it provides more than 27 percent of the daily recommended value.

4. IT CAN PREVENT WEIGHT GAIN
A study conducted by Harvard researchers shows that women who incorporate whole grains, such as brown rice, into their diet were more likely to maintain a healthy body weight. They were also almost 50 percent more likely to not gain weight by eating a diet rich in whole grains.

5. IT CAN LOWER CHOLESTEROL
The oil in brown rice has been shown to lower levels of LDL cholesterol, also known as the bad cholesterol, by up to seven percent. At the same time, a diet high in whole grains can increase the level of HDL cholesterol, or the good cholesterol.

6. IT OFFERS MANY CARDIOVASCULAR BENEFITS
Studies have shown that brown rice can have many cardiovascular benefits for postmenopausal women, including slowing the progression of atherosclerosis, which is the build-up of plaque in the arteries, as well as slowing the progression of the narrowing of the arteries. But postmenopausal women aren’t the only ones who can benefit from the heart-healthy compounds in this whole grain. Brown rice also contains plant lignans, which can protect against heart disease and certain types of cancer.

7. IT’S A GOOD SOURCE OF PHYTONUTRIENTS
Phytonutrients are compounds naturally found in plants that have anti-inflammatory properties and tend to act as an antioxidant. Brown rice is a great source of these plant compounds, especially phenolics. In fact, research has shown that brown rice contains almost as much phenolics as fruits and vegetables.

8. IT REDUCES THE RISK OF DEVELOPING METABOLIC SYNDROME
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of factors that increases the risk for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. This condition is characterized by excess fat in the abdominal area and insulin resistance. Eating whole grains on a regular basis can reduce the risk of weight gain and insulin resistance by up to 38 percent.

9. IT REDUCES THE RISK OF CHILDHOOD ASTHMA
Asthma is a very common condition among children and causes many children to miss numerous days of school. But children who eat plenty of whole grains along with fish can lower their risk of developing asthma by 50 percent. Studies show that fruits, vegetables and even dairy don’t have much of an effect in reducing asthma, but whole grains and fish do.

10. IT PROMOTES BONE HEALTH
Brown rice is a good source of magnesium, a mineral that is essential to bone health. Just one cup of brown rice contains 21 percent of the recommended daily value of magnesium. Most of the magnesium in the body is stored on or in the bones, so to keep a high level of magnesium in your bones, and to reap the other health benefits, eat plenty of brown rice each week.

Unfortunately, most people do not stop to find out about the nutritional value of rice. When choosing the type of rice to serve with your meals, opt for the healthy whole grain - brown rice.

If he is yours, he will be back. If he doesn't come back, then he isnt yours. God, who knows the future, is preventing you from losing the greater good by being entangled with something lesser. That is how this will work out eventually if you keep your faith and trust God completely


Wish you all the best

Is it necessary for you to flirt with a guy you like? Please have some self respect. No offence intended

She should ask God by herself. Why is she a child of God if she can't approach Him for direction concerning who she's supposed to spend the rest of her life with? God will speak to her if she is patient enough to listen. Pastors are meant to confirm what God has already revealed to you, they shouldnt be the one to reveal God's direction for your life. Afterall it is your life, not theirs. @ the end of the day, you will be the one to live with the consequences of your decision. No pastor would be held accountable for your actions

Fabulous Autos: Reduce rice, bread consumption, Lagos gov’s wife warns residents

by MURITALA AYINLA on Nov 27, 2013 |
Wife of the Lagos State governor, Mrs. Abimbola Fashola, yesterday warned residents of the state to control their intake of bread and rice to avoid being infected by non-communicable diseases, especially hypertension and diabetes.

She said such would also reduce the incidence of breast, cervix and prostate cancers, reiterating the state government’s determination to curtail deaths resulting from terminal diseases.

“If you don’t eat rice and bread in a week, you will also see how your body we look like. So, you must reduce consumption of rice and bread, don’t say because you are in Lagos, you must eat rice or bread.”

This can't be emphasized enough. Consumption of high glycemic foods such as white bread and white rice cause more harm than good and so should be avoided by health conscious people. Instead, variants of these foods such as wheat bread and brown rice should be consumed because they have very high nutritional value. Although they aren't as aesthetically appealing as their refined counterparts, their health benefits are innumerable. Talk about prevention and management of diabetes, heart related diseases, weight control, blood sugar control, cholesterol, greatly minimizes the risk of cancer, athritis, boosts the immune system, etc

She isnt seductive; she is attractive. However, there is a very thin line between being seductive and being attractive

The issue isnt the amount of calories. The issue is that these sweetners predisposes one to a high risk of having cancer if consumed regularly

God blesses the man and this rubs off on his wife and kids(Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah and many other examples in the scriptures). That is how He ordained it. He placed Adam in the garden of Eden as a result of which, Eve took part in that garden. There is a garden of Eden for every home but when the husband doesnt take up the role of being the spiritual head, he can't acccess certain privileges, guidelines and direction from God, and then, the home struggles to achieve what should have been somewhat easy. If a woman is close to God and the husband isn't, the home can't maximize its potentials compared with if the man had a close relationship with God. Slowly but surely, strife creeps in, and then anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, and finally........ Tales of marital woe on Nairaland family section

What do you think makes it hard for you? Is it your past? Do you have a 'colourful' past? And u probably think your sins weigh much?

Please I want you to know that what I wrote up there isnt theoretical 'cos 'am a living witness and 'av seen it work in the lives of other people; I do not expect yours to be different. There is real wisdom in studying God's word. How far you go in life is largely determined by how far you go with God. As a child of God, you shouldnt be wasting your effort doing trial and error of businesses before settling for the one that works out. He guides you from the onset on what/what not to do

No book will help you. The only book you need to get out of this shithole is the Bible. When you are out, you can read as many books as you desire because by then, u would have received wisdom on how to apply what you learnt in the books. It is this wisdom that enables you to do things in a way that your little effort yields great results. This is life is a manifestation of the spirit realm and one has to be spiritually fortified to experience a remarkable breakthrough, or else a life of mediocrity is inevitable. For a lukewarm christian living very comfortably, he could achieve greater things if he moved closer to God. This is because By strength shall no man prevail and the race isnt to the swift neither is the battle to the strong, but it is God that showeth mercy. It is not by power neither is it by your efforts but only by the spirit of God. The horse is prepared for battle but only God guarantees victory. So you can read all the books, make several efforts but it still God that decides if your efforts will be fruitful. Develop a deep relationship with Him and watch wonders unfold.

Guess the sugar is replaced with sweetners like aspartame or acesulfame-K which is about 200 times sweeter than sugar, and of course, carcinogenic

mrsincredible: sorry please explain wat u mean? please any one who has a strong bible verse or prayer point shld please help me out with it

Bible verse about what? Peace, abundance, hope, guidance, victory, God's provision, favour, freedom from sin, security, healing, joy, overcoming fear, etc. It would help if you can be specific

bi1: Cease striving and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10, NASB). I can't count how many times that verse has made me stop in my tracks and realize that all my hard work and all the self-help books in the world will never bring about the kind of lasting change I long to see in my life. And it takes God speaking those simple words for me to realize, again, that instead of laying out ten quick steps to becoming a godlier woman, instead of burdening me with more that I need to do, God is instead inviting me to rest. He's instead calling me into relationship with him, inviting me to get to know his heart and his character. He's instead speaking to me of his love, of his delight in me, of his desire to sit with me for awhile and talk.

This is so deep, and it takes a deep person 2 understand and appreciate this post. @ Poster, I think you have God's call on your life and He is preparing you forthe task ahead. Just my thought

bellong: I thought there are no good fathers in Nigeria is the general opinion of females on Nairaland...


@Op,

May your dad prosper and live long to see his children children....

Amen. Thanks

caldermichaels: Please, Wt steps can I take to repent and cleanse myself from this sin. Am guilty of this and I wanna stop but I don't knw how 2 and I dnt wanna discuss it with people that know me around here

Ask God to forgive you of the sin of premarital sex and believe that u'v been forgiven.
Ask for the grace not to go back to it. The grace is always available on request
Start meditating on the word of God. Note that I didnt ask u 2 just read, but meditate on it. This 3rd step is very important because the only way to sustain your victory over this sin is when your flesh is subject to the control of your spirit man. The way to activate your spirit man to be in control of your flesh is by filling up your subconscious with the Word of God. If you dont make a conscious effort to fill up your mind with God's word, something else(immoral thoughts which will eventually lead to premarital sex) will fill it up 'cos a vacuum can not exist. When you control your thoughts, you control your actions but you cannot succed in controlling the act without first controlling your thoughts. The word says ''As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he'', not as a man doeth in his act. ''Guard your heart with all dilligence for out of it flows the issues of life'', including premarital sex. The word didnt say Guard your acts, it says 'Guard your heart'. The only way to avoid sin is by keeping God's word in your heart. Check out psalm119:11, prov23:7, prov4:23

Short cut in ending your problems: suicide
Long cut to ending your problems: knowing that what you are going through is a phase that will definitely pass if you are courageous enough to go through it

Telling him would not keep him in check neither would it change him in any way. Even if it does, for how long? A true prophecy would come to pass no matter how tough both parties fight it to prevent it from happening. Fate happens... That is if the prophecy is truly from God and not a figment of the pastor's imagination. Yorubas call it Akosile...

In other words, whether the prophecy is true or false, telling him doesnt change anything. She should decide which one suits her best, either to tell him or not, the result is thesame

Ok. My decision to tell him or not would depend on if I chose to continue with the relationship or quit. It seems 'am getting on some nerves here. Peace out

cancerlib: The question here is not believing or not what d pastor said. The question is should she tell d fiance about ds or keep it to herself.

Are we assuming that she isn't quitting the relationship?

Then I would say the person is lucky to have been warned aforetime IF and only IF the prophecy is indeed true. It would be wise to quit that relationship. However, you shouldnt make your decision to quit based solely on what your pastor told you. You have to get the conviction yourself 'cos it is your life and not your pastor's life.You can go to God yourself for Him to speak to you and He may even show you deeper things that Your pastor didnt see. Make your decision based on your own personal conviction to avoid future regrets

Please I have been seeing things in Two's for almost a year in some of my dreams. It keeps repeating itself in several ways. I am wondering what this could mean?

Generally, I am gifted in dreams and their interpretation but this particular one seems difficult for me to decipher

faakay: Why did you both have unprotected seEexxx huh! What happened to pills? I guess both of you are still novice but that's the price to pay for it..

I think the question should be why should she engage in sex @ all @ that age Only God knows when she actually started having sex. Na real wa for things wey dey happen o. It is quite disheartening that moral decadence is now the norm

I am interested but can it not be done part time? Is it compulsory to be a full time commitment? Don't you think it would be wise to make a living for ourselves since we would not be paid in the course volunteering
