alexleo: I am not interested in the men of God. They can continue with whatever they care to do. My interest here is to enlighten the ordinary church members like myself, who are bowing to this strange practices due to their ignorance. We have not learned so of Christ. BROS, ITS VERY WRONG FOR ANY MAN TO TAKE GOD'S GLORY. ITS TRUE FOR SOME OF YOUR CRITICISMS BUT THERE ARE SOME WITH VERY BIAS UNDERTONE. GOD CAN USE YOU AS WELL IF YOU HEED TO HIM, BUT REMEMBER NOT TO BE CARRIED AWAY AS YOU HAVE LISTED. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Miracle By The Apostles Vs. Miracle By Today's Pastors And G.os by BrightCar: 4:04pm On Aug 26, 2013 |
alexleo: Brethren lets look at at the attitude of the apostles when God used them to perform miracle and compare it with what it is today among our pastors and G.Os.
Acts 3:11.
11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
Acts 14:14
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them,
From this two passages we saw the apostles resisting any attempt to be idolized by the people for the miracles they performed. Peter and John rebuked the crowd not to look at them as powerful men, Paul and Barnabas tore their clothes and jumped into the crowd telling them that they were human beings just like them.
What do we see among pastors today in their miracle parade or charade?
1. They enjoy being idolized and being regarded as powerful men of God, while the apostles rebuked and rejected any form of idolization totally.
2. Today's pastors make a show in the name of miracle service by showing it on Tv, web and in crusades where crowd will gather and watch them as they conduct the so called miracle. Each miracle attracts a thunderous applause from the crowd while the pastors face beams with smiles, walking or running from one end of the altar to the other as part of the showmanship. The apostles did theirs silently and resisted any form of applause or glorification.
3. Today's pastors feel highly powerful and untouchable. After the miracle service their myriads of security men surrounds them as they majestically walk out of the venue while the helpless congregation look with such desires to touch even the hem of pastor's suit. The apostles rented their clothes and jumped into the crowd who felt they were gods, telling them they were just mere mortals like them.
4. Today's pastor collects thanksgiving offering for miracles. Infact they will preach you into doing it even if you dont feel like. The apostles never did such a nonsense.
5. Today's pastors preach miracle as if thats the only and major thing in the bible. Miracle preaching takes a greater percentage of their sermon. In their crusade billboards and adverts they show a picture of wheel chairs and cover the whole billboard with deliverance from this and that. The apostles preached only Jesus and his kingdom. At no time did we see miracle being their sermon, yet they healed people.
6.The apostles and even Jesus healed people on the streets, pool side, temple gate and anywhere but today's pastor must heal mostly in the church or crusade ground where offerings could be collected and the media department of the church will be able to capture the show so as to send it on Television for showmanship in order to attract more worshipers which translates to more money for pastor and his church(personal estate).
7. When the apostles healed, they pointed the people to Jesus but today's pastor heals and points the people he healed to himself and his church.
Now why cant this men of God in all their power and majesty move round the streets of Nigeria like Jesus and the apostles and heal the madmen and the handicapped scattered everywhere?
All these are happening among some of our pastors today because of greed and desire for fame. Did John the baptist not say that Jesus will increase while he decreases? But today's pastor is working so hard to increase while Jesus decreases. This is bad. People should open their eyes and resist this show of shame in Christendom . we have not learned so of Christ. God bless you. LEAVE MEN OF GOD ALONE, THANK GOD YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, WHY NOT PURSUE YOUR OWN SALVATION OR WILL YOU FIGHT FOR GOD? |

I SUFFERED SAME SOME THREE YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO THE OFFICE, I SUDDENLY DISCOVERED MY FUEL HOSE WAS LEAKING. I QUICKLY PARKED MY CAR TO SEEK HELP AND SOMEONE IMMEDIATELY SHOWED UP AND SAID HE IS A MECHANIC,AND OFFERED TO FIX IT AFTER PRICING WITH ME. HE TIGHTENED THE CLIP TO THE HOSE PROPERLY AND SAID I SHOULD START THE CAR. I ASKED HIM IF IT WAS SAFE TO DO SO, BECAUSE I NOTICED THE SPILLED FUEL HAD NOT YET DRIED, HE INSISTED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM AT ALL, SINCE I WAS IN A HURRY TO GO TO WORK, I STARTED THE CAR AND VOOOOOOOER, THAT WAS IT - A BIG FIRE, EVERY EFFORT TO GET IT QUENCHED IMMEDIATELY PROVED ABORTIVE, MY FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND ABOUT 8 OTHERS FROM GOOD SAMARITANS COULD NOT STOP IT, THE REST IS A HISTORY. |

Politics › Re: Gowon And Queen Elizabeth With Their Spouses in 1971 by BrightCar: 9:16am On Aug 19, 2013 |
MAYOWAAK: The classy, graceful-elegant and a consummate fashionista, Mrs Victoria Gowon is seen here posing for photograph with her husband and Nigeria's (then) Head of State, Yakubu Gowon, and Queen Elizabeth and her own husband, Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Unlike, Maryam, Maryam, Turai, Stella and The Dame, after her Madam Victoria never bothered to meddle in the affairs of the state. May be Mrs Gowon has the presence of mind that the office was just ceremonial or she was just naïve, but since her time, we have had women who are self obsessed, power drunk, and meddlesome in the affairs of the state. Worst, some have shown us that they are more powerful than the husbands, and that their fingers are even more itchy-twitchy than the men's. The current one is giving that ceremonial office a new and advanced meaning of low.
Our women have arrived, they no longer want to be behind the successful husband or beside him. And that must be celebrated, for there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, it must be seen as a plus.I've seen very bright and intelligent women, and how they dust their male classmates, and leave them wondering what happened. That is why I believe that office should be scrapped. Women should aspire to be Margaret Ekpu, Anikulapo Kuti, Gambo Sawaba, Ladi Shehu, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Oby Ezekwesili, Alele-Williams, Serah Jibrin, Rukayya, etc. I don't want them to get ahead just by virtue of a marriage certificate. I want it to be because their academic certificate, integrity, track record, experience, their intellect, power of expression, power of persuasion and integrity. They should apply for office or bid for it. It is not easy, never going to be, but nothing is ever easy. Meritocracy is the best shot for serious and qualified women to contribute meaningfully to nation-development.
We need our First Ladies to be ceremonial just like Flora Azikwe, Victoria Aguiyi-Ironsi, Victoria Gowon and Justice Fati Lami Abubakar, or have no First Lady at all. At least, from 1960 - 1963 there was none. Same as 1979 - 1983 (Shagari did not allow any of his wives to do the "job" , 1983 - 1985 (even as educated as Safinatu Buhari, the General said, "I married my wife for myself, not for Nigerians) and 2005 - 2007 (office vacant as a result of Stella OBJ's death). One thing that unconstitutional office does to our polity is that, political prostitutes (I don't mean female prostitutes in the true sense of the term) flock around the sitting First Lady, just so that they can easily reach the ears of President or the Governor. OP DON'T WORRY, WHEN YOU BECOME NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT IF DESTINY PERMITS, LOCK UP YOUR WIFE IN THE BEDROOM, OR IN THE KITCHEN, SHE WILL SMILE AT YOU AND GIVE YOU THE HOTTEST KISSES. YOU DON'T KNOW THE WORLD IS DYNAMIC, UPDATES EVERYDAY LIKE ANTIVRUS SOFTWARE. |

The only wayPDP will leave office is throught the creation of a brand new Political Party by a revolutionary youth movement. this Party would first start from the Grass root to sweep up votes and in 12 years, work its way to winning the Presidency.. If not.. Na PDP till Nigeria split. They are the devil we know. And though we dont love them, we prefer them to the other Devil that we know.
