The name is from my tribe....we are the Ewe tribe, found in ghana, togo and benin. Im ghanaian by the way.

You are right on the money means you are correct and I agree with you.

Oh ok. My mum is from Republic of Benin and my Dad a Nigerian

Kobojunkie:
The wicked ruled even when Jesus Christ was on earth yet Jesus Christ never opposed the wicked rulers.. instead He opposed those who would lie in the name of God instead. Did Jesus Christ not have the same passion for the people? He knew what was written in the book of proverbs by Kings(not the people) yet, Jesus Christ did not run for office or even pretend Himself a leader on this earth, why is that?

Jesus Christ lived the Will of God and commanded His followers do exactly as He did. So, why did He choose to turn away from office, defeating the Roman occupiers of His time, to focus instead on serving those who would belong to Him?

Jesus had a mission for coming to the world. To redeem man. Likewise we all have our missions in this world as well. We all can't be pastors in churches. Some have been blessed with leadership qualities and some are destined to rule in this places so what's your point?

kimco:
Ah but your quotation even pointed out jesus asking leaders to humble themselves and serve as slaves. Please calm down...you are making petty mistakes

No mind am. This person is obviously confused. Just laying claims from the Bible with no single scripture to back it up.

Kobojunkie:
I have met so many of your so called humble people, and studied then and at the end. I find them wanting because over and over I reality the humility that is not of God is like paint that eventually peels to reveal it was merely a facade to begin with.

God never called man to be humble in the sight of men but in His sight. Our humility and obedience was never meant for other men but for God. That is why Jesus Christ said that He was gentile and humble, not in personality, but at heart where God alone knows and sees it.

There's no way you are an humble person that your won't be humble before God. You don't even know what you are saying self. Keep praying that Nigeria should be better without working towards it ok. As Nigeria dey like this they sweet you na.

kimco:
This monicker is an Ewe name. Are you an Ewe? Also, ypu are right on the money.

What's Ewe? And what money are you talking about I'm confused sir.

Kobojunkie:
Have you ever read of in History or met such a humble servant leader ? Forget fantasy.. let's speak of reality here.
Have you yourself been able to accomplish such a feat in your own existence?

You have not met very humble people that's why you are saying all this. Who do you think will fix Nigeria for you? Your prayers?

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ made it clear to you from the beginning that His Kingdom is not of this world and His followers are also not of this world. Maybe a better question to ask yourself is why you feel you need to rule in this world?

The reason while I feel I need to rule is because I can't stand seeing people suffer. I read politics in school and I was the Union leader for my set. Now is not the time to pray for Nigeria to be better but to rather work towards making it better. Yes as Christians our kingdom is not of this world, but we are in the world and must live in it. There's a charge for us already. " When the wicked rule the people suffer, but when the just rule, the people rejoice" it's time for the just to go into politics so that the people can rejoice.

Kobojunkie:
What has Faith and works to do with this? The works God calls you do as they very commandments you rail against and push away every chance to get, even now.

This verse you are quoting does not in any way show Jesus being against Christians holding leadership positions. Rather it's saying whomsoever have been made a leader should rather humble himself and serve the people.

Kobojunkie:
Be honest with yourself... forget fantasy! Have you ever met such a leader in your own life - a leader that is instead a servant? Even among the Jews(exclude Jesus) there was none of that.
None of the Popes, Pastors(so called church leaders) have been able to accomplish that feat - be servant leaders in the way that Jesus Christ was.. so you tell me, is your interpretation a correct one?

So because there was none like it does that validate the fact that Christians should hold back and watch people who don't have the fear of God to continue to rule and destroy the nation?

unscripted:
prove your point with scriptures as he did ... he is entirely correct.. as Christians what are we waiting for ( thy kingdom come , thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven) ... the isrealite waited for the heavenly rule because just has God warned them , man can not rule man, king jesus came to connect us to the creator so many of use can qualify to be with him in the ultimate kingdom.. where there will no longer be wiping , death , sorrow , pain , sickness , inequality , selfishness etc .. as a Christian we should be politically neutral..

Where is it written in the Bible that Christians should not take up leadership positions. That's the problem with most Christians we only prefer to pray and expect God to perform miracles while we fold our arms doing nothing. Faith without work is nothing so says the Bible.

imolile:
NO. A Christian is a subject of Christ, Christ is his or Her forerunner, The Perfect example for a True Christian, Christ Lived up all the best example and was never involved in anything that concern this world. His mission was to seek and to save those who are Lost For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:  1 Peter 2;21 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 19;10

A True Christian has no business in Politic,
He is a Warrior, He is on the King's Highway (Jesus) Just like the analogy of Moses in Num 21:21-22  And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying, 
Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.  Mark the word, THE KING'S HIGHWAY,

Politics is an entanglement, Christian are not called to be a Politician. They are called to be examples of Jesus "No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. " 2 Timothy 2:4

A TRUE CHRISTIAN HAS NO BUSSINESS IN POLITIC. whatever Jesus never did, Jesus never commanded and that is why Prominent Politician were coming to Jesus by night because the society they belong does not allow them to be identified fully with Jesus. Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimatea
Jesus was not apologetic when he told the rich young Ruler that truth Matthew 19:21

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 

So why do you all keep praying that God should put the fear of God in your leaders? As long as Christians refuse to go into politics forget it Nigeria can never be good. Y'all should stop praying that prayer because it will never be answered.

Kobojunkie:
The answer to that is No. Regardless of what you read of in the Old Testament, in the New Covenant, Jesus Christ declared it a sin for any follower of His to occupy a position of power/ leadership over the others, in much the same way as is obtained in the World we live in.

So, you will not find a born again Christian occupying position of leadership or authority over people( other followers of Jesus Christ included) because it is against God to do so.

Where in the scripture was this written please?

bad news everyday. it no go better for all of Una wey vote this government.

Kharol1234:

ibuildstuff:
Damn, was expecting a good comeback from u, mehn u disappoint me.
I know alot about d Bible, u should start reading actual history rather then fairy tales

You know nothing Jon snow

There are some findings in the Bible that would have been impossible to know looking at the time the Bible was written and the level of knowledge and technology available to the people inspired by God to have written the Bible.

Job 28:25 talked about air having weight. Modern scientists could only discover this not until 1644 by Evangelista Torricelli using a mercury barometer.

Isaiah 40:22 talked about the earth being a circle at a time when it was common knowledge that the earth was flat. The earliest scientists who came up with the spherical earth were the ancient Greeks of the 3rd century.

Job 28 19-20. Light travels. It was not until Around 1676, Danish astronomer Ole Roemer became the first person to prove that light travels at a finite speed.

Job 26:7 specifically and authoritatively said the earth hangs on nothing in space. This was only discovered
In the 1680’s by Sir Isaac Newton that the earth was suspended in outer space.

Job 28:16 talked about the springs in the sea. Modern scientists discovered this In 1977, scientists discovered hot springs at a depth of 2.5 km, on the Galapagos Rif.


Now if all this could be discovered by this men of low esteem , who's intellect was not as vast as that of scientist today, if they could discover all this without any modern technology that could travel outer space or deep into the ocean but only based on inspiration by God.

I'll leave you all to ponder on these. There's only one conclusion, they could only have been able to know all this if revealed to them by someone or something that knows all about the constellations and the entire universe and these definitely could never have been a guess work, could it?

ibuildstuff:
Omo, what's all this lamba u are dropping, where was atom n dinosaur describe in the Bible. Quote the verses.

The Bible also mentioned the earth has four corners, does a circle or sphere have four corners?






If I read the Bible n think the content in the Bible are perfect then u are genuinely mad.


Remember how angles came to visit lots in S&G, but some man came to rape the angles but lots offers his virgin daughters to be raped instead, n den then god to them to leave S&G, but not look back n lots wife looked back n became a Piller of salf for no reason, n then lots got old n his daughters got him drunk n slept with him

Or it is the tower of babel, apparently, god caused diversity in man's language to prevent them from building a tower to the heavens. But today we have built tower higher than the tower of babel n even gone to the moon. God couldn't do shit now.

And let's not forget the flood story, How do u explain, how two of every creature on earth was able to enter Noah's ark, even animals not Aborigine to Israel.

How did animals like kangaroo in Australia found itself in Israel, unless the story was another bullshit.


Let's talk about how god created man penis to have foreskin n same god order that the foreskin should be cut of because it's unholy, does that mean God made mistake in his creation.

So u agree that Jesus n god are one, which means, god created everything including the ability for man to sin, then he became angry that man can sin (God's fault), then he sacrifice himself (Jesus) to himself (god) to save man from what he (god) will do to man if man refuse to stop sinning. Omo god is a psycho.


Jesus Christ is god but always pray to himself (god)

God would take the Israelites to war, order that they should kill everyone n spear only the virgin ladies for their sexual desire, what kind of a god is that.
Numbers 31

I have not even started o, basically all stories in the Bible are ridiculous when u think of them. And u want to talk about science from a book this ridiculous. Don't even start.

I don't have time to argue with you now. You know nothing about the Bible, enjoy your atheism.

ibuildstuff:
Wow, n how do u know that the earth hanging on nothing wasn't metaphoric too.
Bro if we begin analysing the Bible na u go run o, cause it's fully of errors and bullshit stories.

Na you go tire. The pillars of the earth stuff was used in some other verses in the Bible as well. And it was metaphorical but since you want to bring it out if contest good for you. The Bible described dinosaur first before science, the Bible talked about atoms before scientist could ever dream of making a microscope. So you guys should keep following us

If our soils down south was not fertile then we would have said we will suffer. Anyways the moment the South starts commercial farming of all these goods, then the north should just forget it, it will be the end of them.

ibuildstuff:
The Bible acknowledge the earth to be a flat circle when infact the Earth is sphere. The Bible claim the earth have four pillars, we know that's a lie.

Lol which one is flat circle. The Bible was the first to acknowledge the earth hangs on nothing, the pillars used where metaphorical phrases.

Brightale:
Seems you don't know your Bible, the earth is flat according the Bible, the earth is fixed and firm in position according to the Bible, and many other misconceptions. does the Bible believes the earth is 4.5 billion years old? Does the Bible believes dinosaurs existed before humans? Does the Bible believes that there are other species of humans before Adam's generation (homo, habilis, Homo erectus then homo sapiens), why did the Catholic Church imprisoned Galileo (the father of Astronomy today).

With all this your are saying, it has shown you have never read the Bible. Before scientist could come up with the shape of the earth, the Bible was the first to acknowledge the earth was a circle and not flat, before scientist could ever dream of traveling to space, the Bible was the first to acknowledge that the earth hangs on nothing. Please do your findings and stop believing the rubbish you come up with from an atheist website. It is science that is doing catch to the Bible. The Bible was the first to describe a sauropod dinosaur in job called the behemoth. The Bible leads science follows.

Brightale:
LOL, the same christianity that is against science, the same Bible that is against the round Earth theory, the same church that imprisoned Galileo Galilee for saying the earth is round, and one out of numerous planets�, you must be kidding me

And how is the Bible against science. The Bible war the first to acknowledge the earth was round (circle) before scientist could think of going to space. So what's your point

Ghozt:
When I saw this post I remembered the advice that my grandfather told me at my uncle's wedding while we were sitting next to each other next to the music band,the volume was loud I couldn't hear him

Ooonikuure

Wow this is massive, I've never seen a gaboon viper this big. This would have fetched you guys a lot of money if you could catch it alive and sell. Damn this is massive, the head size alone damn!

BlakKluKluxKlan:
Ok, oga, i'll read up.

I'm sorry if I sounded harsh

BlakKluKluxKlan:
Sorry, that's an ignorant statement.
Black mamba is essentially a habitant of tropical climate and abound in southern nigeria.

There's no black mamba in Nigeria oga read up.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
.

We have been neighbours since 2018.
My site is located in a bushy swamp where they are never in short supply.
That goes for puff adder, gaboon viper and other species.
At a time, they assisted me greatly in clearing the large numbers of rodents that tormented my life.

Black mamba no dey naija o except you are from South Africa

BlakKluKluxKlan:
You should've made the place brighter but it looks like a black mamba, very slick and deadly and crawls around day and night.

So you don see live black mamba before
