Valid points!

Over 500 houses in my neighborhood are suffering water shortage because of No 6. We dredged the stream behind my lot and the water level went down in the whole area But since I’m not affected, I just moveeeee on without worries.

I’m still looking at ways to solve problem No. 3 & 4 after I did my concrete floor without considering the future needs of the building(s).

Good morning this morning!

Yes, I have actually asked our resident pastor about it , and he said when he joined the church he also asked the senior pastor concerning it, and he told him that God instructed him to be doing it every first Saturdays in every month. You know we are all coming from different backgrounds. In were am coming from we don't do it either. So thats why am inquisitive about it.
Anyway am very close to both of them, you know this is ministry, there is no much you can do.

Though when the senior pastor was ministering about it he said the purpose is for the financial progress of the members .

God bless you so much for your time.

Princewell2012:
Thank you so much for your input. Am really grateful.

Hmm you know in Holy communion we are asked to do it continually. Is it the same with feet washing? Thank you.

Enskynelson:
Owning? Stop generalizing. Some remain the properties of the Church and not the Pastor's. If a General Overseer must visit to see to different programmes, in a year, the schedules are always too much that if a commercial airliner mess u up, no one will tell u to pray or wish the ministry has a jet. Flying in a jet is luxury if your purpose flying it is to catch fun. I don't see anything luxury about what genuine Pastors do. They don't even enjoy anything on Earth here. The things you all think they are enjoying, they don't even have time for them in a way you all think.
Evangelism in a commercial liner is fine. But there's when the schedule does not permit such. Also, stop thinking that the fact that 'they own' a jet means they will not fly commercial at all again. It's not.

Enskynelson:
I get your point. It is true the disciples achieved a lot without jets and the equal as in their days but note that however even in their days, Paul achieved much more because he was able to move (check Paul's Missionary Journey). Every person have their vision.
Let me ask u this. Do u think it is a luxury for a Church that has branches in about 170 countries to have a jet to facilitate their work? Why on Earth do we all see jet as luxury especially when the work demands such to make it efficient? Is it the buying it that's a luxury or u see seating in a jet as an enjoyment? I have a different view sincerely. To me, luxury is not just anything expensive but something expensive that you don't really need or not so important. Do u think a jet will make their work more efficient or not? Do you see any need for it or not? That's the question. Real Pastors don't have time for enjoyment. The don't enjoy food (spends many days of the year fasting). They don't enjoy sleep (stay up to pray every nights)... Have u asked yourself how the real men of God cope with the enormous work?

zuraking:
What's your view on this pop design and the painting done on it?

Tho just 3-4 lights will be there. I don't like too much light.

Princewell2012:
If you're the one will you ask him? I know it is biblical and it is in the Bible, but I just want to know the basic meaning for feet washing. I can also learn from you, don't you think so?

Enskynelson:
Are u serious with the question or u are being sarcastic?
Apostle Paul had several missionary journey that if there were jets then and he had one, he would have achieved more!
Agree with me that to Christians, Church is a serious business. In fact, the Bible makes us to understand that winning soul is the great commission. If Dangote whose business is not serious to Christians as to winning souls NEED a jet to facilitate his business, how much more a General Overseer. Your problem and the problem of many other person's is that, they see private jet as luxury. Yes, you are right. It is a luxury but to only those who it doesn't seem an essential property to help facilitate the business.
Some real Men Of God don't get good sleep, they are up praying for many hours all day. Some fast for most days of the year. They don't even have time for their family. The have Branches all over the world to oversee... Just imagine any franchise of such and the CEO has a private jet. Would u consider it a luxury?

Princewell2012:
Happy Sunday to you all. Let me make it brief.

In John chapter 13. from verse 4 He riseth from supper and laid aside his garments, and took a towel and girded himself. 5. After that he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples feet and to wipe them with the towel where with his was girded.

Let me stop here, what actually is the essence of these?

Because some today's churches are doing it very often, and my feet have also been washed several times in the church. But I believe something is missing somewhere.

To my own understanding I think Jesus was just trying to emphasize about sharing and caring with each others as a Christian, I don't believe he gave it as a practice or a commandment for us to be washing our feet physically when ever we are gathered in the church.

Am just confused, does anyone knows a better meaning For these. Even those mega churches do practice it too.


Shalom.

Enskynelson:
I don't know of the 2,3,4. But before you ask why General Overseers have private jets, go and find out their work schedule for a year! Don't just sit in your house with no information and expect yourself to have a good judgement. I remembered Apostle Johnson Suleman once criticised those that have private jets. When his ministry grew, same him came on to apologise that he never knew until he was in some situations and wished he had one. I watched the video.

Enskynelson:
How many times? Try and find out how many times some travel out of Nigeria in a year. Since u seem to know, u can let us know the exact number of times.
The OP comparing a ministry that owns no Church to other ministries that have Churches is not right. An evangelist is different from a Pastor. Billy Graham was an Evangelist. OP should stop comparing how he achieved his goals with how pastors did.

ShobayoEmma:
Trying to put up his monopolistic agenda in motion in petrochemical sector too. But note this, before the North will use you to indirectly front their economy diversionary to the North; the South would have by far become a separate country where there will be equity, Justice and peace.

Happy New Week!!
Happy Last Sunday!!
Happy Last Day of the Month!!!

This reminds me of Sir daysan He so much detest people doing the above.

Let me drop this here this morning.

Final answer. Don Jazzy loved it.

According to Don Jazzy, he was sick with interiors and @defhills hooked him up with his minimalist vibe - something calming and peaceful. That’s the hallmark of contemporary builds.

24 hours later, over 300k celebrity looking up to something similar liked it .

n3xt:
Yes.. the ideas is really not to like it. Contemporary builds are meant to be comfortable and welcoming without being busy, cluttered and loud. Unlike traditional architectures, the interiors of contemporary builds tend to showcase space rather than things.

chatinent:
The plan is to sell to themselves at cheap rates so they can resell to us, and export at a good rate.


The name Dangote is a haven for all political fraud.


They make up Dangote. Dangote is just a name.

QuotaSystem:
Dangote's refinery will definitely be a game changer for the Nigerian economy.

What a genius strategy. Imagine a scenario where other African countries would be looking for Nigerian Naira in order to purchase Nigerian Petroleum Products. It would increase the organic demand for our currency thereby boosting its value significantly.



This does not make sense. There is no way Dangotes petrol would be more expensive because not only has the issue of landing cost been eliminated since we're no longer importing, but the market has also been deregulated (which is why we suffer price hikes whenever price of crude or USD rises).

You're right about elimination of subsidy which will save us significant amounts of money, but even greater benefits would come from saving millions of USD daily that would have been wasted to import refined petrol (a whopping 41% of our forex saved) : further boosting our foreign reserves and the value of the Naira. The multiplier benefits from job creation and development of allied industries to support the refinery and petrochemical plant are better imagined.

Finally, the disgraceful economic anomaly wherein the 6th largest oil producer in the world is one of the biggest importers of petrol from less endowed countries, and continuously suffers whenever crude prices rise instead of enjoying the largesse like fellow oil producers, will finally come to an end thanks to Dangote's refinery. I wish him the best and I'm excited for Nigeria.

BuildingProject:
I'm aware of those points of yours but I need to fix a door inside one of the rooms below to start keeping materials like generator and cements cause water is entering into the storehouse built with pan whereby making all the cements to harden.

Without removing those bamboo, it will be difficult to move in materials. And my intention is for the person to remove them smoothly and arrange them to one side until it is needed at the parapet stage again and the pillars.

Billyonaire666:
Makes no sense.

If you invest $100K on bitcoin as a store of value, you will expect it to double in value within a very short period of time, as a smart investor, you should withdraw the $100K in 3 digits batches and have just your profit sitting there to the moon.

The crypto future guarantees enjoyable future without work.

Just invest in future tech IPOs and ICOs and sit back and read books and watch movies and 'eat' from your money working in the hands of tech engineers and their technologies.

Savvy?

This is the future that your dull Federal Government is too ignorant to foresee.

TheRareGem1:
And when CBN said the same thing in Nigeria people thought it was out of ignorance.

Many people even drag Osinbajo...abeg is he the CBN governor or the President?

Nigerians.

somehow:
Rewriting of the constitution (by representatives elected by real people from every LG) is one way


Another option is a referendum by elected representatives from every region.

e Don do.

Na construction thread we dey.

somehow:
Do we have a common goal as a Nigerian?

What makes a Nigerian a Nigerian when we don't even know in clear term what makes a Yoruba from Ijebu and the yoruba from Ilesha Yoruba?

When we have a common goal or ideology, then you can talk about working together.

Make I no flood this place.

kopell:
My brother why will you assume funds is the issue, every individual choice and interest is different. If people can spend 1 million to buy one single door, are you telling me that person can’t afford to build burglar for his or her windows. It may be easier for you to build it separately, you most be ready to face challenges of creativity as public demand for it. I’ve seen many of your products that are model in style you’re very good in what you do. I’m waiting to see you fabricate a windows with burglary opening for safety including mosquitoes net in a single window. I think you should think of it.

somehow:
The 1983 overthrow cited the same, hope you know?

To me, our problems started from the first republic enroute the second republic.

The greatest undoing was changing from regional system of government to what we currently have.

It's a total rubbish
All the high buildings you're talking about are products of regional system of government.

Tranquility4u:
I see no reason why Muslim students should be denied
their constitutional rights.

All Muslim students, in particular, female students should be allowed to dress in Hijab since these schools are for the public.


“Are the schools not grant-aided? So you want to use
public money to persecute Muslim children until they
submit to forceful conversion? Even if they are
missionary schools, must they force female Muslim
students to strip? We are not surprised because it is
part of their old way of forceful conversion. Nigerian
Christians should desist from using Muslim children to
subject their parents to psychological trauma. We will
not go back to slavery. Enough is enough.

The same God also said
Isaiah 42
11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voices, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of the rock [Sela or Petra] sing; let them shout from the tops of the mountains!

12 Let them give glory to the Lord and declare His praise in the islands and coastal regions.

16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known. I will make darkness into light before them and make uneven places into a plain. These things I have determined to do [for them]; and I will not leave them forsaken.

17 They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, who trust in graven images, who say to molten images, You are our gods.

24 Who gave up Jacob [the kingdom of Judah] for spoil, and [the kingdom of] Israel to the robbers? Was it not the Lord, He against Whom we [of Judah] have sinned and in Whose ways they [of Israel] would not walk, neither were they obedient to His law or His teaching?

25 Therefore He poured out upon [Israel] the fierceness of His anger and the strength of battle. And it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not [the lesson of repentance which the Assyrian conquest was intended to teach]; it burned him, but he did not lay it to heart.

Allah SWT said:

"And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet."
(QS. Maryam 19: Verse 54)

"And [mention] when We made the House a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, [saying], Purify My House for those who perform Tawaf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."
(QS. Al-Baqara 2: Verse 125)

haekymbahd:
Are you trying to say the Jews and Christians follow the same holy book.. Kindly distinguish between Torah and Gospel


What do you understand by the law of Torah ?

Why would the same God give different Holy Books Torah and Gospel.. The Jews don't follow Gospel neither do Christians follow law of Torah they believed law has been abolished..

Allah SWT said:

"The Jews say The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on, and the Christians say, The Jews have nothing to stand on, although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words. But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ."
(QS. Al-Baqara 2: Verse 113)

On the issue of Muhammad being mentioned in the Bible we as Muslims believed Prophet Muhammad is the comforter Jesus
was talking about to guide to all truth either you accept or not it's your choice...

Why will I argue the bolded!!!.

The comforter(Holy Spirit) whom Jesus Christ spoke about in the Holy Bible is Prophet Mohammed in the Qur'an according to you

hope you know kedar is one of children of ishmael
Genesis 25
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their births: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

Now where is kedar located answer Arabia

Isaiah 21:13
13 The mournful, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning Arabia: In the forests and thickets of Arabia you shall lodge, O you caravans of Dedanites [from northern Arabia].

14To the thirsty [Dedanites] bring water, O inhabitants of the land of Tema [in Arabia]; meet the fugitive with bread [suitable] for him.

15For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war [the press of battle].

......... [b]all the glory of Kedar [an Arabian tribe] will fail

Is this bold above a typo error ? If it's not do you know what this actually means(don't ask me to explain further)?



17And the remainder of the number of archers and their bows, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be diminished and few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken it.
[/b]

Muhammad is from Arabia decsndant of Kedar descendant of ishmael

I try not to hold biased views when I read or do research. But from the numerous documents online there's no actual verified facts to that as to that geneology. It's based only on assumption.



Now if you are being honest you will realise that God specifically made a convenat Ishmael.. So don't compare Ishmael to the rest of Abraham's other children unless you show proof where God specifically made covenant with Abraham other children

It's just plain english and easy to understand.
When God made a convenant with Abraham who did God speak to?

Yes...God made a convenant with Ishmael but did God speak directly to Ishmael or his mother in making the convenant ?


Genesis 16
11 And the Angel of the Lord continued, See now, you are with child and shall bear a son, and shall call his name Ishmael [God hears], because the Lord has heard and paid attention to your affliction.

12 And he [Ishmael] will be as a [b]wild ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will live to the east and on the borders of all his kinsmen.


I didn't getting what you meant here....
