this is where I belong
Mark.13.19 - For in those days there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be.
...
Mark.13.24 - "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
Mark.13.25 - the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
Mark.13.26 - Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Mark.13.27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.


That's not what I wrote neither did I even think to attempt trying to say such. So stick to what I wrote and no add assumptions

In simple English, you believe in a post tribulation rapture. It's okay. Just wanted to know where your views stand on. For me I'm open ended. Whether it's a Pre tribulation or a post tribulation I'm keeping myself ready for any of them

You say what....??
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Your understanding of miracle is very very shallow.
I just pray for you
On the day you need One
God Almighty will show you MERCY
Not minding your speech
And show you one before you leave this earth.

I have experience countless one and still counting

Would you mind sharing one to inspire us here? I also have experienced several miracles like the one I got helped by a strange woman one night while I was trying to move my CPU and desktop computer home. She just offered to help me that night and I don't even know her. She was quite mature like a mum returning home from work. I won't mention the countless times I was miraculously rescued from Hunger

I can mention about three

Orphaned
Raising teenagers
Poverty until you experience these three, you'll never know what's it's like.

ChybuzzDD:
There's nothing like miracle.
If it's not by your effort, it's by someone else effort or by chance & time(even the Bible talks about time and chance deciding things).

The fact that i successfully passed through a particular spot, and a minute later, a tree falls on the next guy that tried to pass, doesn't make it a miracle on my own part.
It simply means i wasn't at that particular place at that particular time.
If i were there at that particular time like the other guy, i would face the same fate.
Miracle would mean that the tree got suspended on the air and remained there until i successfully passed before it would then complete its fall.

It's this complex state of mind that'll rob of true miracles even when you experience it.

MaxInDHouse:
The message you know nothing about shey?
Dey play!

Preacher you want me to enter you abi?
You won't make and you even can't. You had better hold fast to what is true before the scales fall from your eyes. I don't have the time to hold a debate with you. I'm gonna tell you this straight in all honesty. You love to argue passionately about things you presume you know. That's your fault. I just hope you don't realize it too late.
Anyways you can't change my mind on my belief so don't try cos even if you use the language you used in the above post, you still won't make me doubt what my bible tells me. You say your Organization of believers the JWs are right and all others are wrong aiight. Again I'm gonna repeat what I said earlier. We'll soon know who was right and who was wrong when that day comes.

gohf:
does one really need such, "a school of thought", when we realize God can call us home at any point in time?
Do I need to consider something that contradicts what Jesus and the apostles thought because they are many who teach such? My answer is no

And to answer your question on which one the devil will want most people to believe, it will be to believe that the one coming is Jesus Christ of Nazareth meanwhile it is the Antichrist that is coming first. So as to deceive the world that Christ has come meanwhile it is the false Christ that has come.

Are you trying to say you don't believe in the Second coming of.Jesus as the Bible outlines it?

Hhh4444:
Religion makes people blind. Flee from it.There is no rapture happening anytime. Wake up oh ye religious people.

You're the one who should wake up cos the rapture is an established event that will Mos def occur. No one knows the hour or moment but that it will occur is a certainty

gohf:
This lie called pre tribulation rapture that men of goat, preach because they are not of God, is a false doctrine that misleads people. Jesus never taught such neither his apostles.

That Jesus they are looking for is the Antichrist that claims to be god that must appear first.

Be wise and not follow the deceptions of devil

Which group do you belong. The Pre tribulation rapture or the post tribulation rapture?

donMIG:
Nobody knows the precise date or time
There shall be signs though we have seen most of them so
Probably sooner than we expect or when we don't even expect at all
Just like the flood Noah's time
The tin no funny again....
Wen I was younger I told myself when I saw these signs I will repent
Omorrrr c me c end I never still repent

God helps us all
The hardship just make person put hands for things

You still have an opportunity to mend tour ways and acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and saviour

Good morning guys
A beautiful Sunday to you. The Bible says that the wicked flees when no one is chasing them but the righteous are as Bold as a Lion. History is filled with brave heroes who stood up for what is right and decided to right the wrongs in their society. Some end up as heroes while some end up as matyrs.
Being a Matyr isn't bad in itself but for one flaw. The person is never alive to witness the change he or she fought for. Take for example our own matyrs. Dele Giwa, Ken Saro Wow a and others who spoke up and advocated for the civil rights of their nation and paid the penalty with their life. Some of these matyrs died without an evidence of their message being heard and received while some like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X saw a glimpse of their message being heard and today we can see the impact of their message in the world today.
I'd rather be a hero like David, Ehud, Jephtar, Daniel and his friends etc than a matyr like Stephen. Who died but nevertheless lead to the ultimate conversion of Saul who later became Paul.

We live in a world ruled by egocentric and Narcissistic individuals who'll either remove or try to gain the support of someone they consider a threat to their ambition. Case in point: Daniel was one of the young vibrant guys that were led captive by the Babylonians yet he ended up serving four Heathen kings. In one scenario, A decree had been passed around by some members of the King's cabinet who were envious of Daniel that for the next 30 days no one should bow before any God save the King and the punishment for disobedience was a timeout with the Lions in their den. The very day Daniel heard about the Decree, he went to his house, climbed to the penthouse, opened his windows and prayed to his God three times as he had always done. That action he took was a courageous one which secured his eventual deliverance cos when he was thrown into the Lions' den, the hungry lions decided to go on a fast and would not eat or maul Daniel. That event made Daniel an hero.

In conclusion, it's better and wiser to be a hero than a matyr. You live to see the reward of the change you fought for instead of a posthumous celebration. So which would you rather be?

MaxInDHouse:
Continue deceiving yourself!

Satan uses the same tactic all the time.

In the days of Moses all the religions in the world believe they are all worshiping the Creator but only the Israelites were right.

In the first century all the religions in Israel believe they are worshiping the God of Moses but only Jesus' disciples were right.

In our time countless religions claim they are believers in Christ but only Jehovah's Witnesses are right.

It's as simple as that!

In the end we'll know who's right and who was wrong. Till then I'll keep on occupying and doing His will of propagating His message. God bless you

MaxInDHouse:
There is over 41,000 different religions with contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines all claiming believers in that same thing you call "CROSS"
If you can't point to the original among them it simply means you don't know the truth, when Jesus walked the earth there were several sects all claiming worshipers of the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Moses Jesus condemned all of them and presented his own group as the one and only true religion! Matthew 12:46-50

Won't argue what's a basic truth with you. To do that is to subject myself to a Hamster Ferris Wheel. Trading words back and forth without achieving anything. Jesus said He is the Way the Truth and The Life.
All the other religion point to something as their way to freedom. True Christianity points to Jesus and His redemptive work on the cross. This isn't even an arguable fact John 3 explains it all and 2nd Corinthians 5:17-21 cements it.

Makes me remember the sweetest bottled orange juice ever.... Tree Top!

As kids we had access to its powdered form which we normally indulge in.

IMPARTIAL:
If you say ShopRite, OK! But certainly, you cannot compare Ebeano with Kingsway back then.

Very true
From the ambience to the after shopping experience.
And the fact that Kingsway dealt in high quality imported products

Mariangeles:
The thread was interesting, with good vibes.
I could sense excitement mixed with nostalgia in some of the comments.

Kudos.👍🏼

God bless you

Truthseeker10:
Can you mention those that are Christians?

Who is a Christian to you?@Truthseeker
You should know since your moniker defines you as a seeker of truth. Which begs the question what truth do you seek and what is Truth to you

Zocalite:
Why the argument

Two of you are saying the same thing in different formats

If an unbeliver sees your behaviour and ask which religion you doing?

What will be your response

Don't forget other religions have good deed too

You have a point. I won't point out to an unbeliever to follow a religion but I'll point him or her to the cross. When we witness to the lost. We witness the saving grace of Jesus. We witness the need of the unbeliever to confess their sins. We emphasize their fallen nature and their need of a savior in order to get back to God.

Truthseeker10:
Please can you define what a religion is?

A religion follows a set of rules and rituals that must be adhered to. Christianity- True Christianity- is a lifestyle not just a religion as some Christian denominations have made it out to be.
True Christians don't depend on a set of rules and rituals but on the words and principles of Christ Jesus

Mariangeles:
I just love reading these stories.

I'm grinning ear to ear for reading this. It means I made your day

Vacora:
Yep. Nostalgia. I wonder who the kid is sitting on Santa’s lap in the advert. Looks like Ben Bruce or someone from his family? Quite interested to find who that is as a grown up now.

That's Ben Bruce

If your papa buy u shoes here that means he is a big boy then . Na wao ! See how everywhere neat

The street in that pic is Itire road abi? I used to live at Aborishade street and pass that way to my Primary School which was Adeniji Primary school. Bata Shoes were made to last. My mum bought shoes for us that was worn by five generations. I wore and outgrew it and pass it to my brother who passed it to our little brother then who passed it to one of our cousins who also passed to another cousin. Thode pair of shoes ended up with my Mum's baby sister's children who are now teens. A shoe that lasted more than 20 years without a tear or cut and very little wear

ClassicEvilSpir:
I always liked the vibe of Lagos/Nigeria back in those vintage days. it seemed so organised, more sophisticated. society seemed more high trust than what is now the reality.

Know why?
The mind of the average Nigerian of that era was to be a brother's keeper so the trust level was high. It showed in everything we had and did. The quality of products back then was very good including the locally produced ones. I still had plastic plates and bowls my mum bought for us in the 80s when we were kids and it's still usable without a fault.

free2ryhme:
Masco and leventis

if you watch shoppers guide on Saturdays in the late 80s and early 90s you can relate

I did watch the show. It was a hour show showcasing the latest shopping centres to visit at the time.

nairalanda1:
Last time i entered a Kingsway was in 1989. Good old days when we had UTC, leventis and chellerams. All gone now.

The SAP really sapped us.

You didn't lie
SAP really sapped us and lead us here. That image of Murray Bruce really got to me.

MaxInDHouse:
Why do people love lies like this?

Well Christianity is a religion Satan used tricks to introduce different religions and changed their titles to Christians so that honest hearted and sincere people won't find it easy to IDENTIFY the only true religion.
Today countless religions with different mode of worship, contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines are all claiming Christians false prophets now disguised as ministers of Christ {2Corinthians 11:14} but if you want to know the true Christians all you need to do is read what Jesus laid down for his disciples on how to go about the assignment he gave them @ Matthew 10 and observe the religion whose members are practicing it exactly.
Jesus said these false prophets will do so many things to deceive people {Matthew 24:11} but it's by their fruits (activities of their followers) that will help you to know where they belong! Matthew 7:16-18

Remember the group title "CHRISTIANS" was mentioned not because disciples of Jesus were claiming it but it's their activities observed by onlookers that made them call Jesus' disciples by that name so to identify Jesus' true followers all you need to do is read your Bible to know how they operated back in the first century then look around you

There are many trees in the forest their appearance may lead to arguments but just wait until this trees produce its fruit then no argument after seeing the fruit of each tree (religion) but sad to say that even after Jesus used this simple illustration Satan still blind people to argue aimlessly! 2Corinthians 4:4

What does the highlighted and bolded say about Christianity in your own words? Christianity is a lifestyle. A lifestyle of living a Christ-like life.
The sooner you grasp this truth it becomes easy. There's a form of Christianity being practiced in the world and touted as religion. This is what makes the concept of true Christianity deviate from what it really is. I rest my case.

LagosOrigin:
Most of this white and Chinese expatriates in Nigeria are serving prison terms in there country but were posted to Nigeria to serve there prison sentence as expatriates.. They are the people taking up the juicy jobs meant for Nigerians.

I'm really shocked to read this! It means the original inhabitants are being robbed.

Esthered:
Boyfriend at 13?

What did I just read biko?

Her mum knew she had a bf at 13😕

In their area, 13 year Olds are already mature. This is a place where 9 year Olds are already experimenting with sex

I'd rather follow Jesus than the Devil who's a loser.
I'd rather stick with whats certain than the devil who's deceptive and manipulative. We live in a world ruled by distractions of all kinds. Take religion for example. Every religion thinks that theirs is the way to God. Islam
Buddhism
Taoism
Hinduism etc.
To name a few. Christianity contrary to what many think isn't a religion. True we have the Catholics and certain denominations who make Christianity seem a religion but true Christianity isn't a religion. True Christianity is a lifestyle of Jesus Christ. I'd rather stick with Jesus because at the end of the day everything Will fail. Only the real and true will remain.

The 2000s really were nostalgic years. Both for the Gen X and Millenials. This Gen Z guys really missed a lot. Will be sharing a new Throwback next week that will beat this one.
That's the benefit of being a Gen X. You have alot of Old school things to fall back on than our so called Gen Z who think they're the coolest.
