Their thinking is better

miqos02:
no talk about making progress individually or as a nation. Just negative stories

OTayobami:


I am not trying to say that it is not important to be spiritual but what i am trying to say is that prevention is better than sacrifice you mug!

BlackSpanner:



Please can you direct me to where I can read up on these.

Typhoonsbane:

My bad,I'm very sorry.

chiommy123:
This happens all the time not just during the season. We should be more careful and prayerful. More dangers in churches self hope you guys heard what happened in Enugu on 24/12/19. God save us Amen!

GBJakes:

Abeg o... I will leave the church then, if I am his member. Are they the reasons why he stop them from celebrating Christmas? Let them include birthdays weddings and naming.

First you emphasize black people features are ugly or something like that

Now you say black people's thinking is subpar.

You do appear to be struggling with something, are you Nigerian? Just wondering.

FlordFlorez:
Though horrific things happen this days but why no reference at all, just naration. Even where he mentioned Europe, he never mention which country nor what date/time it happened. Baba, u have absolutely no reason to tell us not to celebrate our Lord's birthday. That something evil happened the same day something good happens is not enough reason to neglet that day. Though, i will agree with you that Jesus never ask us to celebrate it, infact he never mentioned it, howeve, it's not a sin honouring a day dedicated to His birthday which was prophesized in the old testament. This is funny! It's like telling ur parents and other relatives not to celebrate ur birthday cause u are sharing that day with Yeye (godess)Osun celebration day.

The only difference is the mentality and mindset, There is nothing special about british people, chinese people, people from thailand, people from anywhere on the planet. The same death everyone experiences they do too, the same afflictions, disappointments in life.

Absolutely nothing different except the mindset and the illiteracy plus poverty plus lack of exposure which are the things which have made the difference which results in MFM teachings such as dont eat this, dont do this etc

movingclouds:

Haha, I thought I was alone in this... Thank God I found another

1Sharon:


No, I am silly. Where have I said their features are ugly? Many of Nigerians think THEIR features are ugly, the ppl around you not me.

YES. The thinking is subpar. That can easily be cured by turning on the brain.

Blk ppl are ignorant, not stupid. Ignorance can be cured. The blk community can make a turnaround, if we change our thinking.

We starts from you.

MrWriter:
Dr. D.K Olukoya is the General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, CmaTrends reports.

During an early service that was held on the 25th December 2019, Dr. D.K Olukoya enunciated to his members why the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries do not and will not join the secular world in celebrating Christmas and Easter.

He further warns his members not to join others in eating at these festivals in friends’ houses, and gatherings.

He narrates during this service why:
He explains that most people have eaten human flesh in three shocking narrations (experiences).

Funny enough these preachers celebrate their birthdays even when the bible doesn't support it. This is were I agree with the Jehovah Witnesses on birthday celebration. Though they may not be perfect but to a large extent they adhere to the bible

eni4real:
Use Google..
"Pagan background of Sunday, Monday etc"

You will get as many links as possible..

Don't take anything you read there personally tho..

Because that is our problems in Africa.. We overemphasize frivolities!!!

FlordFlorez:
More funny enough, their own birthdays are more elaborated and luxury filled. Abi the God wey called them for service tell them to celebrate their birthday? Why dem come dey celebrate am?

1Sharon:


And YOU.

chigoziri2403:
the stress during this period is terrible

You're the one identifying the problem. So let the change begin with you.

I think so too but what do you think of the studies that show that Africans are inherently unfortunate due to tropical climate?

9jahotblog:
i disagree with you please.

adonainana:


I dont believe Africans are unfortunate, and certainly tropical climate as absolutely nothing to do with it. Because the Carribean is tropical afterall.

I think it inherently boils down to the basics of just being generally intrinsically misinformed about life and the standard of living of africans never really did or has mitigated the circumstances.

You could be in Nigerian and be educated very well and no job, who would you believe MFM pastor telling you its because of what you ate last xmas that is the cause of your unemployment or National Buerueu of Statistics reasons for you being unemployed.

So its a difficult situation sometimes to navigate

nlPoster:


You're saying the same thing you say the pastor is doing, namely speaking for God.

Romans 11:34 says who has known the mind of God and who is his counselor?

We Nigerians tend to consider ourselves as God's voice when in fact we are just schemers. I mean regular Nigerians, not pastors/leaders.

God does not sanction evil, humans do.

midnighter:


Tropical countries have worse agriculture due to lower rates of photosynthesis and less availability of livestock. This has a knock-on effect on ability to move on from crude techniques and develop technology. As in when are we going to get out of this

yeah, you could be jobless and well-educated but why doesnt the person chalk it up to bad policy and infrastructure, which is what the problem actually is? How did MFM come into it, thats what I cant understand
