The arm forces that is struggling with insurgency, kidnapping and insecurity in the North. It is now so bad in benue that governor wants to negotiate with killers. I didn't hear this army say pin pin
IamANigerianMan: Useless people, You can use a verse or statement in the bible to justify anything... Most of this noñsense teaching is from DEEPER LIFE and some of this useless church... Restitution is not biblical... God is love, if any man is Christ he or she is a new creature... Don't create fear on people, once their born again they are sins are forgiven.
God is love abi? Why is he the judge?
Some churches way back in the 80s preached the same thing. So a sinner can keep it loots and enjoy it, is that what you re saying?
When I stole from my own father, I did restitution. I told him how much I stole. I didn't hide my sin under a carpet of God is love. Though I didn't have the money to pay him, the old man forgave me. Your repentance is not genuine without restitution.
Trueprophet91: What if you don't have the money to pay back, does it mean you can't be saved?
You can be saved. But you have one thing to do, tell your victim or the offended that you re sorry. Way back when we use to hear it from men of God, not god of men. They will tell us to do it prayerfully.
Restitution is not something you just wake up and do. You do it with guidance of the Holy spirit. Otherwise it might land you into a big mess you re not prepared for.
IamANigerianMan: Who told you zachaeus did restitution? Show me where he did in the bible... Some ononsense taught in your church of the years, so what the one that kill people like st Paul etc... Zachaeus appeared once in the entire bible and this now form your teaching, drop nonsense my friend
And told you that zacchaus didn't do restitution? For to be able to understand the context of zacchaus statements, you must dig the personality of zacchaus as person, and the kind of job he was doing before he met jesus.
Lastly, if you have anything in possession that belong to another man, return it.
Verbtips: as question:a yahoo boy how do you go abt doing restitution??, answer:pakage the the money and give GOD He knows how to distribute it simple
The subject of restitution remains a subject that many people or pastors try as much they can to avoid because they love the wages of unrighteousness.
Some yahoo boys know the victims they have scammed, some even have a well documented contacts of their scammed victims. If salvation reach them, it falls on them to contact the victims, apologize to them, and give back to them what they have taken. Another question is what if they have squandered the loot? Na to dey ask God for mercy and guidance.
E no easy to vomit wetin person don chop.
However, you can pay that into offering bags if you no longer have the victims contact or they victim is late. But if the person is still alive because you want to short cut, you quickly go and pay it into offering bag. You never do well!
Trueprophet91: Zacheaus couldn't do that thing he said,it was all spore of the moment. How many people could he even pay?
And restitution has nothing to do with salvation
Restitution has alot to do with salvation. You can't tell me you hand changed without but you still have belong to your victims in use.
People who sat for other people in exams, must go to report themselves to show penitence.
Person who cheated on his wife must tell the woman what had been up when she is not looking.
If you stole money, and the people whom you stole money from are still alive. It is your duty to return what you have stolen. The only time you can decide to pay the money into offering bags is when the person or people are no more.
Legendguy: I want to know, if for instance, someone stole money or get it in a dishonest way like politicians or Yahoo boys, and bought numerous houses and properties.
If such person becomes born again aydied after fulfilling scripture requirements for holiness, can he still make heaven? Knowing fully well that he acquired those properties with stolen or looted money?
Is there a need for him to do restitution? Or should he follows the scripture in 2 Cor 5 vs 17 that says " Therefore if a maybe in Christ, old things bypassed a ways; behold all things are become new
Zacchaus did restitution, they must do restitution. So you want to be enjoying your loot at the expense of the poor. No oh. The wages of sin is death
KnownUnknown: Stupid bastard. How would you depart the world when you’re dead?!! You’re not departing anything, you will just be dead. All the silly fairy tales have turned you people into perpetual morons. God my ass.
The most unfortunate being who thinks he is a mistake in puzzle of existence. I am not surprise that you kind are get bolder n bolder. Even the devils knows there is a supreme being but you, you think you re the master of your destiny.
All of you atheist, for you to know that there is God, you need to visit villages where witchcraft is a normalcy there, then you will know that you re helpless being before this unseen forces. I don't pity you, most of you re just to hard stupid to understand what is happening right here. You judge everything by physical laws, not knowing there is another law that supercedes the natural law.
KnownUnknown: Jesus never existed talk less of leading anything. Stupid bleeps and religious delusions. Demon deez nuts. “Scripture” is filled with depravity and it’s the height of stupidity to venerate foreign scumbags. When the madness is pointed out they reply with “out of context”. Within context or out of context, your “scriptures” are rubbish.
Hehehe. When you depart this world one day. You will realiize your fallacy of hopeless hope. You think you are a figment of evolution. Look again, and tell your re right. Many people like you re on the other side wishing for a second chance, you re here believing that there is no God. If the scripture is wrong or doesn't exist, wait! Grave no to far, soon u go understand. Keep it up!
KnownUnknown: Jesus the Jew who came to “bring a sword not peace”. Jesus the cult leader who fantasized about killing and torture. Jesus the “god” who fantasized about being a king and heading his own supernatural feudalism? That fucking Jew charlatan from the book of silly fairy tales? That Jesus was an inspiration for Mohammed along with the other scumbag Hebrews from the silly book.
When demon speaks we know that they hate the truth. You called jesus "cult leader" who is Muhammed?
Christian were killed for their belief, and stance for the truth. Did jesus ever lead Christians against any religion, people, tribe in a bloody battle?
You quote the word of the scripture out of context. You have no understanding of what you talking about.
KnownUnknown: Ahh, Mohammed. Pedophilia and adultery, he learned from Abraham. Raping and Murder, he learned from Moses. Threatening people with torture, he learned from Jesus.
He didn't learn anything from them. If he learnt anything from jesus, he would be peace loving man. Jesus never killed a man, nor did he rape any one. So he never learnt anything from jesus.
Let me at this time be frank with you: Islam is never a religion of peace, but a religion subjugation, brute and control over other men.
Deziwealth: Nigerian own go turn bloody with obedients blood, aka supporters of agulu female voiced scammer, those piggys on nairaland should be the first scape goat.
As if say na obi spoil like e dey now. Una never well. We even richer than Bangladesh, but look at us because of failed leaders.
I no be ibos, but I go advise the ibos make dem no protest. Fire wey burn you and the rest of evil people wey dey this country go start from people that has nothing to lose(the poor).
Apc and the rest are playing with fire. No tell your people to manage while your living fat.
albacete: If you missed Hamster Kombat, don't miss Musk Empire. Message me on telegram. Zero seven zero six two five seven three two eight seven. You'll love it while getting the opportunity to earn when it gets listed on major exchanges.
Racoon: Leave Peter Obi idiot and focus on providing governance that you claimed you have a mandate to fulfilled. See the abysmal and miserable state of Nigeria under your 9 years of terror;
Make una leave obi alone. Peter obi is behind the inflation and the fall of naira. He is the one fueling the coming protest.
Some people just dey inside apc govt wey dey suppose strip and wip with bulala.
IamtheTruth1: I thought they said the police mounted pressure on the kidnappers? Yet 5m Was paid.. Nigeria police PR can make an elephant fly with their narratives.
Never believe Nigerian police. Some of them are working with the kidnappers.
I am still learning, even those of us that have been in the Senate for sixteen years we are still learning so we will do well to continue to learn.
But in the course of talking to one of my distinguished sisters, that she should speak whenever she is recognised I made reference to the fact that we are not in a nightclub where people have to shout above the noise of the music and the social media went agog.
I am not on social media but my wife called me that people got angry and published her number and said they should occupy her line so she used to receive over 2000 to 3000 phone calls a day. And I tried to put on one of my phones, the number was in the public and you find out the phone crashed after about three hours.
So, I am very happy with the interest generated by Nigerians with what goes on in this chamber because we are here to cater for their interests. For them to be interested with what goes on here, means that we are connecting with the people directly and it will have been terrible if we are doing all this work and the people are not even aware of what we are doing.
But the communication was totally misunderstood instead of taking it for the nature of what we said that you should not shout when you are talking and speak only when you are recognized, they went into private abuses. I don't want to say what they did to me, I think I do not merit it. I was telling the DSP that he is the one they should be talking to because in my tradition we marry only one wife so they listed so many wives on social media.
I don't know how you took it but I feel I should tender a public apology to you.
Racoon: Delta, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Lagos always leading the pack but Bayelsa, Lagos and Delta are the most annoying of the pack as their governors can't account or justify these huge allocations. All the governors are the next band of super corrupt looters after the FG using the instrumentality of the NGF starting from the 1999 set.
See them fighting against implementation and payment of the new minimum wage yet asking suffering citizens to continue to endure their stupendously opulence lifestyles is really nauseating.
Zamfara that got 49billion, I still don't understand how a state with less population that lagos is getting so much.
Samakus: I'm just against the unprovoked vituperations. Totally unwarranted. Man was just seeking to mitigate against marrying a loose partner. I don't see how that should cut a nerve of another person unless there's something else you're not telling us
Na frustrated nigerian. You can tell, the economy is really weighing him down with depression. May be hunger induced anger.
PoundHound: South Africans couldn’t create a forum that’s loud enough to cover Africa. So, they always come to NL to self-service and spew their frustrations
