Glory hunter, no true fan will jump ship no matter what

goodysb:
Hello Everyone, I met this girl about a month ago (same day her phone got missing) and we started talking etc...

She usually calls me every morning, afternoon and night (and I would call her back too) using her senior sister's phone... I would get her anything she wants, treated her well.... We would talk and I noticed how she was behaving and thought she'd be straight with me, so I told her I would get her the phone by month end...

Not that I couldn't get her the phone the next day but I just purposely delayed it (3 weeks) and when month end came I added extra week to see how she reacts and then I got her the phone but since I got her the phone she just changed and stopped doing all she used to do, I noticed and played along to see where she's heading to...

It's more than a week since I got her the phone and I noticed she hasn't changed... I thought about giving her a second chance and then she did something that annoyed me. I sent a very angry voice note and some messages but she didn't reply for about a day and I thought of it and noticed she was playing a game, so I said I would play along too...

So I acted dumb and called her to apologize that I said what I said out of anger (To me I really mean it) and explained to her that I listened to the notes and didn't find it interesting (I never did), so what I am doing now is I want to get what I gave her back because noticed a very big change and again because she might be telling her friends that I don chop this guy (which I don't like hearing), so after our argument, I already predicted that she'd want to ask me for something after two days and truly she asked me this morning for money to buy slippers of 4k... I didn't want to show any signs that I am aware of what she's doing.. so I told her.. let's be looking sha (which means I will get it)...

So I planned to play along and take her out of our environment to somewhere that's calm, so I would then collect the phone back from her and give her her sim card.

P.s. I predicted it might play out like this but wanted to test her to see... Could have gotten her an iPhone.

I would really appreciate you guys input �

Righteousness89:
So with all the Education and Knowledge he has, he performed something as this..

And After 50years of Marriage!

This Shows that these things do not happen with a Normal eye..

There are forces that takes over a Man or woman and Make them do these evil and Wickedness.

The Worse thing is that it leaves you once they have used u. You be in regret and all that!

The Worst thing that can happen to Someone is to be Spirtually Empty! There are Wicked Principalities and demons looking for Location..

Don't be Empty! Fortify and Guard yourself with GOD and HIS WORD

The Times are Dangerous!

If only they will listen but all in a bid to sound modern after been fed and consuming alot of demonic doctrines and ideas from the media, this would sound outdated and gibberish to alot of people until it's too late.

KingSatan:
What do you know about human psychology?

What do you know about depression being a mental disorder?

Obviously your mind is limited within the bounds of religion and gross illiteracy.

I wont engage you further. You will be alright someday.

Cheers

Stop throwing that illiteracy word around because it's obvious you have zero idea of what it means. Human knowledge is very limited, so stop priding yourself in it, and it's not as if you are an authority in the said field you are making reference to. There are things you would never understand no matter how hard I try to explain it to you because you have subscribed your mind to the feebleness of empirical knowledge

KingSatan:
This is not a case of "Being an Introvert"

You cannot help yourself, neither can anyone here on Nairaland

Can you hear yourself talk?

If only you realise that your pastor, imam, religious leaders also seek medical advice and treatment both here and abroad, you will weep for how many years you lived in ignorance.

Cheers

He never said he had medical issues, he spoke of neglect and a lack of love from childhood which ultimately made him go into his shell and withdrawn. Even an extrovert under such condition could end up in such a state, and talking to a doctor or seeking whatever medical advise isn't an assurance that he will feel any better. You didn't suggest any possible or workable solution on the issue but like a rabid dog high on shit looking for who to attack went on to quote me. You need to take to the medical advise you are proposing first because it's obvious you are psychologically imbalance

And you had to make reference to my thread on my job hunt as though it's out of place or related to the problem discussed. You really need help, because you are sick

ApostleAnarchy:
Good day people. I have really wanted to share my life-threatening weakness with someone but unfortunately, i have no one.. let me begin

We all have some imperfections/weaknesses, some might be physical disabilities, hair baldness, mental disabilities etc. It can come in any form as long as its something that you see and regret in yourself everyday you wake up. I am 20 and i discovered mine when i was 16.. On entering university, i discovered i couldn't really communicate with anyone in school and i detested public places, people hated me naturally and never came close to me.wherever i went, people talked silently about me.
Whenever i tried going against this weakness to try and kick off any conversation whatsoever, physical symptoms like; sweating, shaky limbs,loss of words, uncomfortability etc manifested.. After few weeks in the university, i lied to my parent that i hated my course and that i couldn't cope.. In summary; I dropped out just like that


After staying idle at home for years, i got a decent job which i really cherished, i worked for about a month there, trying my best to hide my weakness but on entering my second month of work there, things changed and my weakness made me quit.

Beginning of this year, i noticed that it has also began affecting my relationship with close relatives and most have begun moving away from me. They say i am immature and a snub. They don't want to have anything to do with me anymore. My parent is threatening that i need to leave his house very soon as i am now a man but my weakness makes me so weak..

I am not bad looking but due to this weakness, i have never had a girlfriend. I push all the girls that want to know me away with this weakness..

Parents Should not only give their kids food and put them in schools, they should also communicate deeply with them.
I was a victim of a broken home and i stay with my abusive father. As a child, i suffered from neglect because no one cared about me and now, its threatening my existence on Earth. Whenever i remember how lonely and empty i am, i weep cos i am not equipped to stay alife.

Please advice me because am tired. I have tried being social but my weakness always destroys everything. I feel hopeless

Listen to this song "Drop it at my feet" by Frank Edwards and then seek Jesus. You cannot help yourself,neither can anyone here on nairaland for the void you feel can only be filled by the Holy Spirit. This isn't a case of being an introvert, Do not give up, your destiny is yet to be fulfilled and I know it's bright. The battle you are fighting is not yours it's the Lord's.

FeliciaOja:
It is now I understand what being strict does, it makes you live a life of pretence, cos when I got into University I wanted to explore everything  I didn’t have the chance of doing at home.

I drank alcohol like crazy, smoked weed, hung out with rich boys, partying, doing drugs but when I go visit my Parents, I still act like that innocent girl they have always known.

My Dad’s strictness led to my Pretence, if he had drawn me close like my mum did, I would have been a better kid.

When parents use strictness to shut down a kids curiosity instead of guiding them, you are making matters worse for that kid. Because eventually that curiosity will lead them into adventures and exploring all those things you refused them to..

Looking back, al the flogging I received from my dad only made me more stubborn and ruthless.

Nothing really changed? Until my mum made me change for good.

Parents need to use wisdom not force..

The shitiest excuse of the century

Sex is a very powerful tool used by the devil to oppress most of us. When a man has sex with a woman, a connection is created and most of us are paying dearly financially, socially, connections etc Breaking free from such connections is by God's grace

Do men really have no value? I have thought about this and based on what's happening in our society, aside from being a money bag, what value does a man hold.

How would you even know? Most of them travel far away from their paces of residence to prostitute and only return home to start up something when they are done prostituting. Most of the girls you meet in church from far away states are there for business

Your question is based on hearsay. There are women who are are naturally very tight even when they are very sexually active.

yea, just created the group

I can only brief 3 persons tonight...please bear with me. I will continue with others Tomorrow.
just finished with Shemuel...please confirm

Why not create a group? That would make it easier and save time. Done watching the video but need some clarification

BIBLESPEAKS:
The Hebrew word for God’s name in the form of the Tetragrammaton appears some 7,000 times in the Bible. This suggests that God's name is very important in the worship of him, God delights in his name being used as it sets him apart. God himself inspired Bible writers to use his name thousands of times, and he directs those who worship him to use his name. (Isaiah 42:8; Joel 2:​32; Malachi 3:​16; Romans 10:13) In fact, God condemned false prophets who tried to make people forget his name.​—Jeremiah 23:27.

That being said, Hebrew writers had God's name written in the scroll correctly. Ancient Hebrew was written without vowels, using only consonants. The Hebrew-speaking reader could easily provide the appropriate vowels. The four letters יהוה (YHWH) appeared as God's name in the Hebrew scroll. After the Hebrew Scriptures (“Old Testament”) were completed, some Jews adopted the superstitious belief that it was wrong to utter God’s personal name. When they read aloud a scripture that contained God’s name, they substituted expressions such as “Lord” or “God.” As centuries passed, this superstition spread and the ancient pronunciation was eventually lost. So the exact pronunciation of the divine name in ancient Hebrew is not known. Some feel that the divine name was pronounced “Yahweh,” while others suggest different possibilities. A Dead Sea Scroll containing a portion of Leviticus in Greek transliterates the name Iao. Early Greek writers also suggest the pronunciations Iae, I·a·beʹ, and I·a·ou·eʹ, but none of these can be proved to be the pronunciation used in ancient Hebrew.

Today, having the tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH), we have all we need to pronounce God's name by adding the vowels to make it pronounceable (something which has been necessitated by the absence of vowels in the ancient Hebrew language). The form “Jehovah” has a long history in the English language, first appearing in William Tyndale’s Bible translation of 1530. If you study the relationship between the languages Latin - JHVH and English, you would come to see how inputting vowel letters resulted in "JEHOVAH".

Some argue that the divine name should not be used in the Bible because it is not known exactly how to pronounce it in Hebrew. This line of reasoning assumes that God expects people who speak different languages to pronounce his name identically. However, the Bible indicates that God’s worshippers in the past who spoke different languages pronounced proper names differently.
Consider, for example, the Israelite judge Joshua. First-century Christians who spoke Hebrew would have pronounced his name Yehoh·shuʹaʽ, while those who spoke Greek would have said I·e·sousʹ. The Bible records the Greek translation of Joshua’s Hebrew name, showing that Christians followed the sensible course of using the form of proper names common in their language.​—Acts 7:​45; Hebrews 4:8.
The same principle can be applied to translating the divine name. Far more important than the exact pronunciation chosen is that God’s name be given its rightful place in the Bible.


PS: Jehovah is the true God of the Bible, the Creator of all things. (Revelation 4:​11) The prophets Abraham and Moses worshipped him, as did Jesus. (Genesis 24:27; Exodus 15:1, 2; John 20:17) He is the God, not just of one people, but of “all the earth.”​—Psalm 47:2.
Jehovah is God’s unique name as revealed in the Bible. (Exodus 3:​15; Psalm 83:18) It comes from a Hebrew verb that means “to become,” and a number of scholars suggest that the name means “He Causes to Become.” This definition well fits Jehovah’s role as the Creator and the Fulfiller of his purpose. (Isaiah 55:10, 11) The Bible also helps us to know the Person behind the name Jehovah, especially his dominant quality of love.—Exodus 34:5-7; Luke 6:35; 1 John 4:8.

My God is Yahweh
Names are important in Western culture. Parents choose names for their children after much thought and discussion. For the rest of a person's life, he is identified by the name he was given before birth. But the significance of names in our day cannot compare with the significance of names in biblical times. Ancient peoples understood that a name expressed the essence or identity of a person. According to Proverbs 22:1, "A good name is more desirable than great riches." In the biblical world, a good name meant more than even a good reputation, because it identified the character of the person carrying it.

NAMES AND NAMING

There are three aspects to names and naming: (1) a name identifies the character of the named; (2) to name someone means the namer knows or understands the named; and (3) to name someone means the namer has authority over the named.

Identity

In the ancient Near East, a person's name identified something about the person's character or his circumstances (e.g., birth or family). Isaac's name, "he laughs", described the response of Sarah, his mother, when God told her she would give birth even though she was elderly. Moses' name, from the Hebrew "to draw out", was given to him after he was pulled from the Nile River. The angel told Mary to name her baby Jesus (actually Yeshua, a shortened form of Yehoshua or Joshua), from the Hebrew "to save" or "savior", because "he will save his people from their sins" (Matt. 1:21).

Knowledge

To name someone or something implies that the namer understands enough about the named and its circumstances to describe it and make use of it. Adam named the creatures of the earth. This meant he understood each one clearly enough to describe its character and function. (In Adam's case, he also was able to determine that none of them was an appropriate mate for him, Gen. 2:19-20.) Our word 'classify' comes close to the activity of naming. So, when God tells us "I know you by name" (Ex. 33:17), it means more than that he recognizes us individually. Rather, it indicates that he understands completely who and what we are. This brings us to the final aspect of the naming process.

Authority

To name someone or something also implies that the namer has authority over the named. God changed Abram's name to Abraham (Gen. 17:5) because God had authority over him. Pharaoh could rename Joseph for the same reason (Gen. 41:45). This aspect of the naming process proved significant for the Hebrews when it came to their knowing and using God's name.

GOD'S NAME

To use God's name meant one understood something of his essential character and being, that one could identify and understand (know) him. But God is the sovereign Creator of the universe. God existed before anyone or anything. Who among his creatures truly understood who he was? And who had authority over him? Only God can understand his being enough to name himself, and he alone has the authority to do it.

It was Moses who finally had the courage to ask God to give himself a name. In the Book of Exodus, Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" (Ex. 3:13). God answered Moses by revealing his name to him.

Meaning

The name God gave himself has caused much confusion and discussion. Both its meaning and its pronunciation are not entirely clear. The Hebrew letters for the name are YHWH (vowels were pronounced but not written in ancient Hebrew), and they appear more than 6,800 times in the Hebrew Bible alone. Most scholars believe YHWH is related to a root word meaning "to be present" or "to exist" and probably meant either "He creates or causes" or simply "I am (that I am)," meaning that God did not depend on anyone or anything for his existence. (Note Moses' first question to God and his response in Ex. 3:11-12: God identified Moses as the one who depends on God. This passage would support the idea that God's name identified his independence of any outside being. That makes God the ultimate source of everything that was, is, and will be.) This identification of God meant that His name could be used only of him and for him, because nothing else could possibly measure up to such a description.

Sacredness

The Israelites were afraid to use God's name because they might use it in ways that he had not revealed. Instead, they called him "Lord" (Hebrew: Adonai), "God" (Hebrew: Elohim), "The Name" (Hebrew: Ha-Shem), or by some other title. After they returned from the Babylonian Captivity (ca. 500 BC) , they refused to use God's name at all, out of respect and fear for what it represented "the holy God's self" description. The people simply said Adonai whenever the sacred name was intended.

Transliteration

By the Middle Ages, few Jewish people could read Hebrew because it was no longer their native language. The dispersion after the destruction of the second temple in AD 70 and the Bar-Kochba Revolt in AD 135 scattered the Israelites around the known world. Soon they spoke only the language of the lands of their dispersion, and Hebrew was relegated to religious matters. To help the people read Hebrew, the scribes of the period (called Masoretes) introduced a system of vowel marks to identify the sounds that had always been spoken but never written. These marks were placed below (occasionally above or between) the consonants of the text. Now even those not fluent in Hebrew could pronounce the words.

When the scribes came to the sacred name of God (YHWH), they did not want their readers to pronounce it because it was so holy. Instead of using the original vowel sounds (which were never written), they placed the vowel points from Adonai ("Lord" to indicate that the reader should say Adonai instead of YHWH. The vowels a-o-a were placed above and below YHWH. Later, the first a was changed to e, probably to prevent the reader from accidentally saying Ya (the first syllable of the sacred name). Unfortunately, Christian translators were unfamiliar with the Jewish people's respect for God's name. So to them, YHWH, with its e-o-a vowels, looked like Ye (Latin:Ja) Ho WaH, or "Jehovah," though that pronunciation was never used in Bible times. When we Christians use this name, we reveal our ignorance of our Jewish roots.

Most scholars believe God's name was pronounced "Yahweh." Modern translations use "LORD" in all capital letters to identify it. This obscures the practice the Israelites had of using part of God's name (Yahweh) in their children's names. Any biblical name ending with -iah or -jah includes part of God's name, for example, Hezekiah, Elijah, Azariah, and Isaiah. Names beginning with Jeho- or Jo- also use a syllable from God's name, for example, Jehu, Jonathan, Joel, and Jehoshaphat.

WHAT GOD'S NAME MEANS TO US TODAY

Certainly, God understands that modern Christians use Jehovah because they believe it is the name God gave himself. Many other believers use Yahweh because it is closer to the Hebrew original. The main point is to recognize that only God is able to understand and describe himself. We are dependent upon his revelation of his nature to understand him. Therefore, we must use his name carefully. Using it to refer to things other than God, such as when we swear, is, in effect, to claim authority over God. That was Adam and Eve's sin and what caused them, and their descendants, to be exiled from the Garden of Eden.

The biblical characters whose names included reference to God, and whose very identities pointed to God, should be our role models. What they did with their names, we must do with our lives. Every aspect of our characters, our very identities, must speak of the living God so that the world may know that he alone is God.

Praise God that he revealed his name to us and granted us the privilege of using it for his glory!

I can only imagine her pains

BIBLESPEAKS:
Jehovah (/dʒɪˈhoʊvə/) is a Latinization of the Hebrew יְהֹוָה, one vocalization of the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH), the proper name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible[1] and one of the seven names of God in Judaism.
Below, is the name "Jehovah" at Exodus 6:3
(1611 King James Version)

God didn't call his name in Latin and the Hebrew writers didn't have the name written in the scroll correctly, so that it may not be called since God had warned them not to use his name in vain. The name of God was called once a year and by the High priest only. so whatever was translated was an error or a hybrid name.
