“You did not do it to Me.”  Mt 25:45 NKJV

You must show compassion

Every act of kindness you show to someone in need, as well as every time you turn a blind eye, you’ll account for when you stand at the judgment (See 2Co 5:10). Jesus will recount them one by one—one deed done to improve the lot of another person, even small ones. Indeed, everything Jesus mentioned seems small: “I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me” (Mt 25:35-36 NKJV). The early church father Chrysostom pointed out, “We do not hear ‘I was sick and you healed me,’ or ‘I was in prison and you liberated me.’” So that does away with the excuse, “How could I heal a sick person or liberate someone who’s enslaved?” Jesus said, “I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.” These works of mercy are simple deeds, and yet in these simple deeds we serve Jesus. Astounding, this truth: We serve Christ by serving needy people. Some of them live in jungles you can’t find, and have names you can’t pronounce; others who play in cardboard slums, or sell sex on the street. Some of them brought their woes on themselves, and others inherited the mess from their parents. You can’t help all of them, but you can help some of them! And when you do, you serve Jesus. That’s what Jesus will talk to you about when you stand before Him one day.

History season.....lol.

But in all honesty, what are the importance of all these Obas? If not this new Ooni of Ife that looks promising to uplift the face of the youth and to create jobs and development for his people, what else?

The last time I was in Ijebu-Ode, I was even ashamed (because of sorry state of all the roads and other infrastructures in the city) that, yet they will claimed that they have a renowned King, and not to talk of all the wastefulness of all the indigenous whenever the "Ojude Oba" is around.

Shouldn't the look of their town/city be more important to them? Must they leave everything for the government to come and do for them? Isn't Ijebu-Ode the seat of the CEO of FCMB?....and some Ijebu rich people?

I'm sometimes ashamed that they are only good in showing off their wealth @ parties and outward appearances, but yet, their homes are not something to behold.

Obas in Yoruba land should stand up and run the affairs of their domains like it used to be in the olden time. And they should stay clear off from partisan politics. All this first class or third class issues naa story, they should rule truthfully on their subjects.

God please help them to recover IJN. The level of their burnt ehn?

Meanwhile,

Akin met his friend Kola 2 years after school and Kola was driving a sleek Mercedes Benz.
Akin went home weeping and feeling awful for himself...
What Akin didn't know was that Kola had been sent to run an errand with the car.... hmm!

Seyi nagged her husband always for not being romantic as he does not get down to open the car door for her as Ngozi's husband does when he drops her at work.
Seyi doesn't know that Ngozi's husband's car was faulty - the door could only be opened from the outside...
What a shame!

Life does not have a universal measuring tool, so create yours and use it...
Looking at people and comparing yourself with them will never make you happy, you'd continue to have pains of what's not even real...
Be contented with what you have and in everything, give thanks to God. ......

“Take delight in honoring each other.”  Ro 12:10 NLT

Don’t assume, ask

One of the most common sources of conflict between husbands and wives comes down to a simple matter of differing assumptions. Dr. James Dobson writes: “Years ago I went through a very hectic period of my life professionally. I was a full-time professor in a medical school, but I was also traveling and speaking more often than usual. I completely exhausted myself during that time. It was a dumb thing to do, but I had made commitments that I simply had to keep. Finally on a concluding Friday night…I came dragging home. I had earned a day off, and I planned to kick back and watch the USC—Alabama football game that Saturday. Shirley, on the other hand, also felt that she had paid her dues. For six weeks she had taken care of the kids and run the home. It was entirely reasonable that I spend my Saturday doing things she wanted done around the house. Neither of us was really wrong. But the two ideas were incompatible. Those assumptions collided about ten o’clock Saturday morning when Shirley asked me to clean the backyard umbrella. I had no intention of doing it. There was an exchange of harsh words that froze our relationship for three days. It’s important to understand that neither of us was looking for a fight, yet we both felt misunderstood and wounded by the other. Our conflict was typical of what goes on every day in a million other homes. It all comes down not to deliberate antagonism, but to something called ‘differing assumptions.’” What’s the answer? Don’t assume, ask!

Sorrowful!

But come ooo, how is PMB managing his cattles without so much hassle? Can't his brothers learn from him nii?

UBA. The one @ Babioo in Ota. Don't mind them.

Reasons that make me love Niger pass any other country in the world.

How I miss that "Ewa Agayin" .......with soft Agege bread or hot fried plantain, plus a large bottle of Pepsi. . Kai! Lord you truly made all things small and beautiful. Lol.

kennyman2000:
I think its high time, the igbos go back to their state and develop their states with their biz. Trust me, customers will surely come. It'll take time though but thats better from all these unplanned loss they experience every now and then in lagos.

Obama was right afterall that Nigeria has alot of human right abuses. I wonder why would someone destroy people means of livelihood.

Didnt the govt know that, its something like this that makes people take to the streets and become arm robbers, pick pockets. Etc.

To everyone affected. I pray for a miraculous speedy recovery for everyone.

Make igbos too try to come together and see how they can move their biz to their states to prevent all these wicked acts losses.

You can check this guy thread to see how he's developing his own state.

I'm sincerely sorry about this. But as you said, I think there's no where the ibo settle down to with their spare part business, that it will not sell. I remember when I was looking for a particular part on a truck years back, that I have to travelled to Onitsha, and Warri, when I cannot find it in Lagos.

Where many are begging God to give them just ONE, see what this silly is doing with his.



Mad man!

“Don’t…unwittingly give Satan an opening.”   2Co 2:11 TM

You can overcome temptation

You will always be tempted in your weakest areas. So: (1) Prepare yourself. Otherwise you won’t be ready when it comes. Where does temptation originate? In your mind! Any defeat that manifests itself in your conduct was first a battle lost in your mind. That’s why Paul wrote, “Don’t…unwittingly give Satan an opening.” (2) Brace for impact. Ask God to help you detect Satan’s advances, and buckle your seat belt in preparation for what lies ahead. An ink-stained wall in Wartburg Castle, Germany, illustrates the point. Deep in prayer, Martin Luther suddenly became aware of the Enemy’s presence. The story goes that he picked up an inkpot and hurled it against the wall, aiming it at the Devil. Luther sensed the adversary’s advance and responded the best way he knew how. Sound extreme? Maybe, but the question is do you have that kind of spiritual sensitivity? (3) Submit to God, and then serve the Devil an eviction notice. If you don’t, he will defeat you. “Submit …to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (Jas 4:7 NAS). Satan wants you to do the opposite by resisting God and submitting to him. Don’t fall into his trap! If you’re battling temptation today, stand on this promise: “Our high priest is able to understand our weaknesses. He was tempted in every way that we are, but he did not sin. Let us, then, feel very sure that we can come before God’s throne where there is grace. There we can receive mercy and grace to help us when we need it” (Heb 4:15-16 NCV). God will give you the grace needed to overcome temptation.

They have to pay that fine, and as for me, I've dumped their network since.

Very elegant, and presentable. Yet, the so call Trump will tell me that he has a problem with Africans for their look.

Planning to re-colonise the African continent. Silly thing in a human cloth.

Excellent decision. They both need to be relocated as soon as possible.

But, where land dey for Lagos now?

MisterGrace:
Rocktation & farano you need to see this.

......lol.

Are they both single nii?

Absolute nonsense!

“If you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you.”  1Pe 2:20 NLT

How to please God

You become like the people you spend the most time with, so choose your friends carefully. If you spend time with angry, resentful people you risk becoming an angry, resentful person yourself. That’s because attitudes are contagious. Here’s a wonderful story that illustrates the point. A man purchased a newspaper at a newsstand every day. He always greeted the vendor very courteously, but in return received very gruff and discourteous service; the vendor would rudely shove the newspaper in his face. The man, however, would politely smile and wish him a nice day. This went on for several days until a friend asked, “Does he always treat you this rudely?” The man replied, “Unfortunately, he does.” The questioner asked, “Are you always so polite and friendly to him?” The man replied, “Yes, I am.” The questioner continued, “Why are you so nice to him when he’s so rude to you?” The man replied, “Because I don’t want him to decide how I’m going to act.” The Bible says: “If you suffer for doing good and endure it patiently, God is pleased with you. For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly” (vv. 20-23 NLT). That’s how to please God.

Prayers for our leaders for protection this year.

Orelope?

HBD Mr. Peter E. Wishing you long life and prosperity in your new age.

Nigerians oooooo.........ah! Kilode?

Never knew he was separating from the former wife, thought he was just taking a second wife nii oooo.

“Each of you is a part of it.”  1Co 12:27 NLT

Working together in unity

None of us can do individually, what all of us can do collectively. Paul writes, “All of you together are Christ’s body [the church], and each of you is a part of it.” But His body has been known to misbehave. The brain discounts the heart. (Academics discount worshippers.) The hands criticize the knees. (People of action criticize people of prayer.) The eyes refuse to partner with the feet. (Visionary thinkers won’t work with steady laborers.) So Paul writes, “The eye can never say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you.’ The head can’t say to the feet, ‘I don’t need you’” (v. 21 NLT). The mega-church needs the smaller church. The liberal needs the conservative. The pastor needs the missionary. Cooperation is more than a good idea; it’s a scriptural command. “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (Eph 4:3 NIV). When we work together in unity, the Bible says God “commands His blessing” to be upon us (See Ps 133:1-3). We haven’t been called to compare, to compete, to complain, or to criticize one another. No, we’ve been called to complement one another! Jesus said: “When two of you get together on anything at all on earth and make a prayer of it, my Father in heaven goes into action. And when two or three of you are together because of me, you can be sure that I’ll be there” (Mt 18:19-20 TM). What an astounding promise. When we come into agreement, Jesus notices. He shows up, and He hears and answers our prayers.

Goodluck to her.

Selfish man, it shows he really want the man to be hanged quickly so that he can become the CEO. #Ole!

Manueleee:
you are right, but are u advicing stingness or wot? I stood up, secretly i aproched God and attach it with a seed and it worked. Go to church, dont u eva give offery, dont pay tithe, dont support any group. Take ur money and eat alon.

No oooo. I'm not in support of not giving ooo. If we don't do that, how do we maintain the house of God? Just talking about the hypocritical side of it nii ooo.

Manueleee:
hmmm why all dis attack comments and question na? What if am a robber and still pay tithe, what will you all be saying? Many student gv excuess that d dont pay tihe becos d are student bt i have shared my own part and its nw raising dust. Haba.

That's one hypocritical thing that I've seen many of our brothers & sisters in the Lord doing. Imagine a businessman who is owing a lot of his staff and people that supplies him, and he kept promising them to always come back for the payment, and yet going to church to pay his tithe and first Sunday offering. Same goes for all our leaders in the government too. You don't embezzled money from your place of work, and you are make and offering not to talk of tithe of it to the church and you expect God to honour that.

I just so much tired for our ways of worship and giving offerings in the church all in the name of show off. And yet, pastors and ministers of God will continue telling you that the only way to your prosperity is by giving, giving and giving.

No wonder, too many churches in our society today with too many congratulations, but alas! see what our society has turn into today.

We are continuously living on deceits and lies. God have mercy on our land.

LEGALAide:
Waiting for your explanation.

because some of them are full time minister of God nii ooo....except otherwise they have their businesses?

BumbleDevil:
Are Pastors not going to work again? Are Pastors not running personal business? are Pastors not acquiring material properties? Are Pastors not the ones that started the slogan "MY GOD IS NOT A POOR GOD"? the list is endless my dear.

The inheritance of the priest is the offering while the inheritance of the Levites is the tithe. Remember that even the Levites pay one tenth to the temple. A Priest is forbidden to take inheritance of the Levites while the Levites are also forbidden to eat from the burnt offerings.

well understood. Let every pastors fend for themselves then. And enough of this pressure on the congregation about paying your tithe. Some pastors will even go to the level of raining curse on the people in the church too.

snailspeed:
No! Emphatic NO!

In fact, this is one big error being taught today. We are all priests and kings unto God. Every born again believer! Rev 5:20

Pastors are simply administrative leaders in local assemblies

...agreed. but whatever happens to their maintenance and feeding, is that not coming back to tithing?
