5. Among the signs mentioned in Mark is casting out demons. Have we outgrown demon possession so that we no longer need casting out demons SIGNS?

Would you have believed John the Baptist? He never performed any sign nor showed any wonder YET even the (stiff necked) jews knew he was a true prophet...WITHOUT signs. Luke 20

Our anchor is on faith (things not seen) not on signs and wonders. Shalom!

Bidam:
Yawn. Paul is talking about ministry gifts, or fivefold ministry offices, not gifts of the Spirit.

No, how else do you explain these verses.

"He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself. . ." (1 Cor. 14:4).

1 CORINTHIANS 14:2 (Moffatt)
2 ... For he who speaks in a 'tongue' addresses God, not man; no one understands him;
he is talking of divine secrets in the Spirit.

Bidam:
Is the church perfect? Is the church unified?
What are the five governmental offices Jesus
instituted in the church when He ascended? Are
they extinct according to Eph4?

Bros,weldone. Abeg tell me what makes up these classifications you made. 1) Ministry gifts, or fivefold ministry offices. 2) gifts of the Spirit. 3) The five governmental offices Jesus instituted (I guess this should be the five fold).

Just asking sha nothing hidden. Nice work so far.

I caught the interview on NTA. see the video below and the transcript also. I seem not to catch where the bolded were spoken. DID I MISS IT? Worse,why was the part where he said he accepted to step down not shown? MEDIA scam. Appealing to the people's sensation. SMH for Nigerians.

NTA reporter: The press conference was an avenue for elder statesman Edwin clark to offer what he considered essential to provide balm to soothe the fragile nerves of agitators in the interest of national unity.
The main issue of concern was the report of serving governors given automatic ticket by the PDP leadership to go to the senate. This which he says contradicts the party decision in which only the president has the right of first refusal.

Chief Edwin CLark: "it is not right for you to impose your will...yourself on the people...or wanting to nominate someone because you don't like the face of the senator; to replace him.

NTA reporter: Also the formal withdrawal of aspiration by the son of the former premier of the country Jhalil Tafawa-Balewa was received with joy and embrace as he agrees to support and work together with president Jonathan.

Dr Jhalil Tafawa-Balewa :"What Daddy said is very true"

Ndudi Elumelu (Member, House of representatives): "In effect,that decision clearly shows that president Goodluck Jonathan is performing"

NTA reporter: Chief Clark charged all Nigerians to do everything to ensure the preservation and deepening of democratic practices and to put to a total stop what he describes as kangaroo democracy being practiced by some governors.

ak47mann:
A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Jhalil Tafawa-Balewa, has said he is no longer interested in challenging President Goodluck Jonathan for the party’s ticket.

The PDP presidential aspirant, who is the son of a former Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, said he had already withdrawn his intention to run for the Presidential primary.

He said he was already supporting the candidacy of President Jonathan for the party’s sole ticket.

Tafawa-Balewa stated this in Abuja on Thursday during a press conference organised by Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark.

Clark had earlier claimed that he spoke to the aspirant on behalf of the President with the intention of achieving peace in the party.

The aspirant, who had paid the mandatory N22m to the party was denied the party’s nomination form when he approached its leadership.

Clark said, “I wish to inform you that I have succeeded in intervening to make peace between two of my sons, Dr. Jhalil Tafawa Balewa and Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

“Dr. Jhalil Tafawa Balewa had indicated his intention to contest the presidential primaries on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party against the decision of the party to give President Goodluck Jonathan the right of first refusal. Unfortunately this issue was to generate unnecessary public distraction as detractors jumped to capitalise on it to make unfounded commentaries.

“The relationship between Dr. Jhalil Tafawa Balewa and President Goodluck Jonathan dates back to 2005 when the latter was the deputy governor of Bayelsa state. In deference to their old ties, Dr. Jhalil, has formally withdrawn his aspiration to contest the presidential election in the 2015 general elections”.

Confirming the development, Tafawa-Balewa said, “What you have heard from Chief (Clark) is true. I have accepted to step down for the President. I won’t run again.”

He, however, refused to answer whether or not his N22m nomination fee had been refunded by the PDP.

:“It was the suitcases of the family of 20 that were counted as belonging to the emir and falsely presented to the public. General Buhari has over the years asked those who have questions over the matter to go to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who was at the head of Customs operations at the airport on the day,” his spokesperson said.

So he (GMB) knows that the 20 suitcases won't have been the property of one man;the emir. How come he didn't know that the 1600 pounds was for the whole crew?

omenka:
Seun your bias is becoming shameful. What is the meaning of this?? Was this moved to the fp because the op called you his/her mentor or because it is a research thread Do we now suppose if we do same, our threads would receive thesame treatment??

You should expect more. I don't blame him sha. There is chance for him (and NL.com) to go down in history as a open bias source. I hope he doesn't get to regret these moves.

Mean while,I'm still waiting to see if my thread will hit front page. The rumor made it...and few hours later,the "debunk" didn't make FP. Not a hear-say report BUT a video interview.

The money issue it is.

Even with the reasons, he executed the judgement in the spirit of a tyrant. Moreover,it was a good opportunity for him to deal with the fela "basket mouth" talkative.
..but fela's spirit cannot be crushed. So much truth mixed with melody.

ayobase:
this is pathetic.

Seun, atleast u saw ur name tagged on this......

I pray there will be a father around when you wanna confess.

People have chosen the path they want to follow.

This is how it works: turn your face away from the truth. Look towards the other side,there is greater gain of mammon.

This should be in front page. If the other report makes it,a video should make it also.

For those that can't get to watch the video. It is transcribed below.

Tafawa: I have my forms, and as you can see the serial number is 0000002. So, it is the second form ever printed for the 2015 elections. So, all these balderdash is just there. Balderdash.

Interviewer: Okay, many people don't know what balderdash means. So please (laughs). Basically I came here to ask you, I came here to confront you because you have been doing these online interviews, and I have been bombarded with questions about your candidacy. So, could u confirm today's date for me?

Tafawa: It is the 7th of November, 2014.

Interviewer: And it is about 2'O clock, and you are saying that what was reported was absolutely not true?

Tafawa: It was mixed up to suit the purposes of just selling news

Interviewer: Okay, so we are still 100% behind you. We are still for you. You are still the candidate for the Presindency in the 2015 elections, is that true?

Tafawa: Yes, that is true, and the spirit of our forefather still with me.

Interviewer: Amen, can you just say a last message to all your supporters? And are you planning to have a medium of press conference to tell the general media?

Tafawa: At some point, but not now. When the form is gonna be supported is when we are gonna show them our jokers

Interviewer: One last word for your supporters

Tafawa: I thank you. Please stay firm. No matter what they put in the newspaper. What they put on other media. The man is still with you. We will get Nigeria to where it is supposed to be starting May 29, 2015. Thank you.

Interviewer: Thank you very much.

This video negates the earlier report. First hand info.

OLAADEGBU:
Does the issue of marriage not involve polygamy? Jesus referred us back to the beginning of the institution of marriage. He created a man and a woman to be joined together in holy matrimony. Adam and Eve, not Adam and Stephanie and Eve and neither was it between Adam and Steve. There was no room for divorce when God instituted marriage in the beginning, Moses only permitted divorce because of the hardness of hearts.

We might end up going back and forth...Jesus was talking about divorce not polygamy.
The first offspring of the ones in the "beginning of the institution of marriage" was a single birth. Can we therefore say that twins,triplet,etc are permitted because ... #fillinthegap#

Find other answers to the subject not this verse.

OLAADEGBU:
Daily Manna

Our Lord justly remarked, in answering a question on marriage, that in the beginning it was not so; for Moses merely allowed the practice among the Israelites because of the hardness of their hearts (Matthew 19:8.) But as it became customary, a law was made to prevent confusion and preserve order and fairness in families. It restrains a man from disinheriting his eldest son on account of his affection for the children of the wife he loves better.

He was addressing the issue of divorce NOT polygamy.

jdilight:
Don't be cowed by oratory, the best orators are not always the best leaders.

Na true. Though the truth is that there just a little that can be tendered above their oratory (which is used to communicate their intention).

To me, the big part of the problem is that we Nigerians are yet to get to the level where we pursue the good of the land (make e just better for me na im matter).

What we get is what we deserve. Padi padi, wayo wayo, arrangi...consensus candidate. I laugh in corruption tongues.

It's just clear that president GEJ is not sure to get 100% vote from the delegates. E no go funny if the incubent president is being unseated in primaries o.

GEJ cannot risk Nigeria is not ripe for that kind of politics.

bigtt76:
Na only one form PDP print? Abi den never hear PSquare + Akon colabo 'Chop My Money' ...before?

The ink for their democratic printer finish ni and na only one form dem don print before the thing pack up.

More over GEJ don pay for the form since 1999...him don even pick PEJ as him running mate

PStacks:
CoÑfusion would soon enter their midst.

I think I've seen this whole story somewhere before. The confusion is already happening,we are just waiting to see how it will play out.

unleashed123:
You know even if Jonathan wins in 2015 his tenure will end in 2019. Does statement imply that you do not wish to live beyond 2019

It sounds more like a prophecy than a wish to me. LOL

Kagarko:
As an elected officer he can only be sworn in two times not three times.

GEJ knows...if he doesn't,bad for him. I'm sure he is still consulting the #*@+" to beat that constitutional clause.

His plan is about to unfold but him,he'll surely be dropped except he tried to change the clause. ...But you can guess how the story will end,just like the third term agenda then...

Goshen360:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

The sermon on the mount took many dimensions and one of such is the statement above. The religious church had given many interpretations to this verse by our Lord and we had been taught to do something as requirements to getting "all these things" which shall be added unto us.

An important statement from the lord that should never go behind the scene.

@Goshen: nice one. You should highlight "added" as you did "his righteousness". It is important to not that Jesus said "it will be added" and not "seek them later"...rather he said "these things the gentiles seek after and your father knows that you have need of them" in the preceding verse.

Shalom.

Goshen360:
Oh my goodness. Old thread. .. you people above trying to cover up plain statement from our Lord.

How in the world did I missed these posts? Okay, your answers are here people.

How do you feel when you mark your own exam script?

So if you come across a old heretic post (and with all the truth you possess) you'll just let it go because it is a old thread?

I guess that's what one should do. Since all things must be "new". SMH

JEITO:
Too much religion in politics is killing the Nigerian politics

...And too much politics in governance. I don't know which of them is to be trusted jare.

Nigerian's birthright has been sold out to politics and politicians in exchange for ignorance,greed and lack (that's what the people got in return in the exchange).

We need a technocrat who has the fear of God and genuine concern for the people.

@liyuboy

I can only imagine what you're going through.
One question I have for you is this "did you are
did you not see the potential of this attitude in
before marriage" ??
If you can sincerely answer this,it will help a lot in
gathering advice;even my opinion.
If you can open this thread,don't be ashamed to
answer the question regardless of responses
that you'll get.
May God keep you.

stevecantrell:
Dude, I never opened any thread on NL. I'm not about to start now.

Sorry about that. It's a mix up;my bad.
