2 Kings 7 vs 1. . .

Then Elisha said. . .HEAR ye the word of the Lord; tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. .

Now. . . If you believe, tomorrow by this time shall a litre of fuel be sold at #40 in the streets of Nigeria. .

Whether our humble Jonathan or our vibrant Okonjo likes it or not!

This storm shall pass. . . Tomorrow!

2 Kings 7:2
. . . Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be?. . .

^^^ 2 Kings 7:2 . . . And he said, “In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.”

Just a joke oh, i reject it for you.

And they quoted, and they quote.

But they were quoting from the individuals who are not the only way.

They quoted nothing from the "only". Why? Maybe there is nothing appropriate?

And to the op with Islamic sounding name "Mas'hud" [Moshood], you may actually need to drop Islamic name since you are no more a muslim.

Those who bore Paul before they entered Islam, they immediately abandoned it.

I know an older name whose christian name is James. Now that he is a muslim, there is no amount of Naira you could offer him to answer to that name.

what was the point of this meaningless dribble?

@Joagbaje, with the current state of naija, that thought of the second verse keeps cropping up on my mind. . . But i know God is the infinite one who already knows the end of our situation.

@sweetnecta. . . Keeping the name as a testimony. . . Been a xtain for almost20 years now anyways and the Lord has been faithful.

@ poster

Wake up and smell the roses!!! subsidy removal has come to stay bro!!!

Why do you want to resist it when its a bitter pill we must swallow? if this is how we can save our dying economy so be it!

The period you converted is after devaluation of Naira by Mr. Evil genius Babangida. So your conversion is borne out of financial reasons, as I take it, your parents are still Muslims?

An old Ibadan success to a group of poor Christian that as they are poor and suffering on earth, but they are deluded enough to die in their state of believing in disbelief, they will be one of the wretched from the point of death to eternity. This people then reverted and Alhamdulillah that was over 30 years ago. They were so convinced that they changed their name, just lie many in my life change their names when they enter Islam. I do not bear my yoruba names anymore for many many years now, though I was born muslim.

I want to be called the best name on the day of Judgment, reflecting my faith. It will be unlike you when you will certainly be called. You will be called Mas'hud and you will be herded along with the christians, the people of the book, who in Surah Fatiha are the maglub alehim.

Call yourself Paul or something like that, if you are really convinced of your new way which you have been hiding from, shying away from its labe for 20 years. You must be eld enough to change your name, so drop Islamic name as you dropped Islam. My mom dropped her christian name. So is my wife. And many others. It is sincerity that led them and it is insincerity that has not led you to abandoning Islamic name.

What a big joke! Prayer has never and will never work in this case! Mark my words, what will work is not even protests but an uncompromising labour movement declaring a total mother of all strike effective for more than ten days. that's what ll work.

Well, it wasn't financial cos i was less than 10 years as at the time of conversion. . . Twas willing. . . Wasn't forced.
Even as at then, i was steadfast on the Siratul mustaqim.
God knows better.

Sweetnecta!!!!

You obviously missed the pan african era when many people (mostly diaspora) dropped their english names and replaced them with traditional african ones. Or, of course, dropped the english names for arabic ones (mostly american blacks).

Were you too young to know about that time or what. You werent born then?

I took part in the Monday protest bro in Lagos where i stay.
Nonetheless, i still believe in that bible verse. . . It came when all hope seemed lost back in the bible times.
