SuperSuave:
Your points are not valid as they are not applicable to all churches due to the difference in doctrine.

1) Shouting when praying: If you go to CAC you will know it is a crime to pray silently

2) Giving offering when message is on: TF?! where does this happen, I have never witnessed this before as offering time is different from time for sermon when everyone is silent and little movements.

3) Speaking in tongues after prayer: CAC members, C&S and Cele won't agree with your point. Even the pastors keep quiet when someone is speaking in tongues and delivering messages as it is believed that God is speaking through them.
P.S. this is different from the normal "ashakaraboboborima.." shi.t

4)Jeering the pastor during sermon: You can't tell this to worshipers in america, it's their way of letting the pastor know they are with him and it let's the pastor know that the congregation is following

and I see nothing bad in checking your watch if the service is getting longer than the stipulated time

@Checking wrist watch. I strongly believe that checking your time watch when in a meeting is distraction to yourself, argue yourself out bro. Why I said it is awkward in the first place is that, a worship period is meanly a time dedicated without distraction to serve or worship your God. So, why come there because you want to start checking time on your pastor.

@ your no 2. You might not see anything wrong with that uncle but I just said they are awkward to me. And you don't have to querry where does a thing happen cos' you have not been to all the churches in the world.

@ your no 3. Why should your pastor keep shut when a member is interrupting the service, must the person speak in tongue when everyone else has stopped. The Holy book said, "God is not the author of confusion". Imagine the surprise when everybody have said amen and another person sees it as when the spirit is given him message.

Sighing before praying.
I don't know why, but it seems so awkward to me oh. Your prayer leader will just introduce a prayer topic and tell everyone to pray, immediately before the prayer, you will just hear echo of sighs everywhere. Like seriously, who are you sighing for na? The person you are praying to is he the one that put you into any problem you are trying to pray on.

Shouting when praying
Some people will just start shouting like people who are quarrelling with unrepentant conductor. I wonder why it is so. The last time I checked, MY GOD hears even the most silent prayer. So I ask, do you have to shout. Let's say you are talking to your biological father, you are making a request then you start shouting, like seriously, will even listen to you if he doesn't even give you a resounding slap.

Giving offering when message is on especially when Pastor is preaching
I don't know if it is bad oh, but all I know is that the BIBLE tells me something very clearly in two separate quotations that 1. There is time for everything and 2. let everything be done decently and in order.
So I don’t usually get it when the person is praying and you are going to give offering. Is the offering meant for God or the Pastor?
I think Ecclesiastes has something to say on this. Read chapter five and the first verse. It says something like, "Walk prudently when you go into the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil".

Greeting members when service is on even when you are late for the service
Haba Uncle, you are coming to the service late, can you just have a seat, please? People that do this kind of thing in church are people that are pompous; you must announce your arrival - giving everybody a high five. Sister please sit down oh, Ga juo kwa Saphira ihe mere ya mgbe ogara nsuko na ulo oge (Go and ask Saphira of the Ananias family what happened to her when she came late to the church).

Checking wrist-watch when service is on
The best thing to do for yourself is to live in the moment at everywhere you may find yourself and it could be facilitated when you overlook your wrist-watch when you are in a service. Stop checking your watch bro, your engagement does it supersede the one of the Man who runs the affairs of the whole universe? I learnt that from John Izzo in one of his teaching on "Five things you must know before you die" (I believe that's the subject because it's been a while since I listened to the teaching), that you must learn to live in every moment you are in.
Stop romancing your watch because it makes you lose concentration and at the end of whatsoever you are doing, you find out that you just wasted your time there. This is because in the cause of always checking your time watch, your mind wonders to other places you think you want to be. Mind wandering inside church!


Telling the ushers you ain't sleeping when you are almost falling from your chair.
Chairman, please fear God small abeg. How can you say you are not sleeping when saliva is dropping down your jaws? People can be funny eeeh. Highest you hear somebody like, 'I was meditating' lols.

Telling the Pastor stuffs like "Ride on", "I hear you" when message is on.
1 Corinthian 14:34 will say "Let the women keep silent in the church". I believe in this this case, the men too are equally advised same. Ecclesiastes also has something to say on this. Read chapter five and the second and third verses. It says, "Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven and you on earth; therefore let your words be few.
3. For a dream comes through much activity, and a fools voice is known by his many words.

Speaking in tongues when pastor have stopped prayers and everybody have said amen.
Somebody will come now and tell me that it is the Spirit. Hah, which of the spirits. Because 1 Corinthians 14:32, 33 says something like, "And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion . . ."
So why distract and cause confusion to the brethren who have obediently concluded their prayers and waiting for the prayer leader’s further instruction? Your own spirits is not controllable?
Well these things seem awkward to me and I don't know about you sha, so tell me what you think about them.

Happy soaring!!!

Richiez:
I don't think you should blame the mods...wherever there is crises, it is better for people to be promptly informed so that casualties can be minimized

Why duplicating threads with different headlines. Does that count too?

Guestlander:
This is an opportunity for Kanu to lead from the front. He should head to Abia state right away to help chase away the zoo army. He will only confirm his cowardice if he doesn't act now.

Kanu lives in Abia state. Stop your uncalled quotes. Something is happening and you someone to lead a war

Its first half and Simon have given us some hope!

These camerouns have not known how to utilize opportunities.

Icon79:
I tweeted the video clips to my tweeter followers. Ahmed Musa was the first player to leave snub Amaju's hands actually.

Quite an interesting picture. I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry


O pari

Lols, I couldnt hold the laugh. My colleagues were asking me, what's wrong. I hope they aren't beefing oh?

As they arrived Cameroun, while receiving the Super Eagles and having a handshake with them at the Airport, Victor Moses forcibly snubbed Amaju's outstretched hand for a shake.
I hope it is well.
Btw; I wish the boys a handsome victory.

Today I shall talk about Attention Deficit Disorder hereinafter referred to as ADD. What it is and how to most probably cure the disorder. Attention Deficit Disorder is a state of disorderliness in management of engagements. It happens when one is not able to totally finish any task he undertakes.
There are many successful people out there and if you take time to study their past history, you’ll discover that one thing is evident in their success story – they undertook many failed businesses. At the end of such discovery, we hail them for that, having gone into several business ventures and failed.

Some of these person could have made it in the first business pursuit they entered but they could not because they set a time-frame for their success and when it seems their time has elapsed they back out and pursue other forms of enterprise. What happens to sticking around till you make it? It might be longer than the time you have set but no, you want it quicker and this eventually leads you to having Attention Deficit Disorder. When this happens to you, it means that you have lost #focus.

What it (ADD) entails;
The individual does things haphazardly and undertakes multiple engagements and tasks without completing any.

What happened to him?
He lost focus as a result of unplanned multitasking. Research has shown that multitasking is highly not advisable as it doubles the time to complete a task. Someone who always engages in multiple tasks will in no time lose focus, its resultant effect been Attention deficit disorder.
Mind you, someone who we often refer to as Jack of all trade might not have ADD. He is one who has knowledge in many areas of work and tries to fit in when required. It is never the best way to undertakes courses as it makes the individuals to not fully have mastery on a particular area but it differs with Attention Deficit Disorder in that, the person with the later has kind of multi tasked himself knowingly or unknowingly and along the line looses focus and starts gambling with his time.

What it does to him;
It makes him directionless and puts him always in a state of confusion. He lacks courage to undertake any course he will always leave it half done. It is so dangerous to one who is a public servant or entrepreneurs as he will lose clients as he will always disappoint - he takes contracts like some Nigerian politicians and leaves them half done after four or eight years in office.

How he would have avoided it;
1. He would have avoided it by undertaking tasks one after the other.

2. By learning to turn down offers when he knows he has a task at hand already.

3. By proper time management to avoid always running late on appointments which might warrant one venturing into multitasking.

How one can disband Attention Deficit Disorder from his life;

1. Dieting. Attention Deficit Disorder is somewhat connected to memory loss and forgetfulness and can be remedied by proper dieting and taking in high amount some selected protein and oily foods such as fish, eggs and coconut oil.

2. Avoid new assignments until tasks at hand are fully gotten over with.

3. Work with a plan as this can boost your focus.

4. Allow yourself ample time to sleep and rest as it will boost your organizational control while gaining energy for tasks ahead.

5. Focus is gained by total concentration. Learn to concentrate on things for a long time. In this aspect, patience is a virtue that should be imbibed and nurtured. Some persons bring themselves into entanglement with attention deficit disorder when they have goals but are not willing to work gradually in seeing the goals come true. They expect 'miracles' and 'quick successes'.
John wants to make enough money for himself. He has heard of importation, he has heard of retailing, he has also heard about making enough money through supplies.

He goes into retailing and within the next few days, what he was expecting never happened, he has not been made richer. While still at that he starts importation and also not getting the desired result he starts the business of supplies of whatever he thinks will bring money overnight. At this point, he has engaged himself with three businesses without a hope a success as his initial hopes has been dashed. This type of lifestyle is typical of Attention Deficit Disorder. He can't give the required attention to any of those ventures.

But if John had concentrated on one of those businesses, who knows, as the saying goes, his success might have been closer than he thought until he left off to other things and lost concentration on the business.

6. Learn to delegate assignment. You cannot do all things by yourself. Learn to always assign work to other people while trusting them to deliver a nice job. With this, you will focus on what you are currently engaged with at the present.

If we ask Donald Trump now, he may tell us 'no invitation was extended' or if he saw the president, he will tell us 'nothing of the sort'.

@LaiMohammed said, it is to condole with the foreign president on the #Harvey disaster. But can't he stay here and send our condolence and felicitations over the the president?
