“You have been saved through faith.”  Eph 2:8 NKJV

“Saved through faith”

The Bible says, “By grace you have been saved through faith.” Faith in Christ alone gives us the assurance of heaven. Poet Henry van Dyke put it like this: “I am standing upon the seashore. A ship…spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch until…she hangs like a speck of white cloud where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, ‘She’s gone!’ ‘Gone where?’ Gone from my sight. That’s all. She’s just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left…Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone says, ‘There, she’s gone!’ there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the joyful shout, ‘Here she comes!’ And that is dying.” You say, “But I wasn’t raised in church. Where do I go to find faith?” D. L. Moody said: “I prayed for faith and thought it would come down and strike me like lightning, but faith didn’t seem to come. Then one day I read the tenth chapter of Romans, ‘Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.’ I closed my Bible and prayed for faith. Then I opened my Bible and began to study—and faith has been growing ever since.” You say, “But I don’t know how to pray.” Simply say, “Lord Jesus, I place my trust in You today and accept You as my personal Savior.” Did you pray that prayer? Yes? Then you are “saved through faith.”

Good tips.

“Where do I put my hope?…in you.”  Ps 39:7 NLT

The futility of fame and fortune

Society’s fascination with Hollywood and celebrities has gone a little crazy. Millions idolize those who have achieved fame and fortune, yet stardom does not provide the satisfaction it advertises. Marilyn Monroe could have told us that. So could Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Consider the adoration accorded to Mohammed Ali in his prime. He was known as “the prize fighter who couldn’t be beaten.” His picture appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated more than any other athlete in history. Wherever he went the cameras followed. But wealth and fame cannot buy good health, and he fell victim to the ravages of Parkinson’s disease. Sportswriter Gary Smith spent some time with the ailing fighter at his home and asked to see his trophy room. Ali escorted him to a dark, damp barn beside his house. There, leaning against a wall was a board displaying mementoes—photos of the “Thrilla in Manila,” pictures of Ali dancing and punching, and hoisting championship belts he had won over his head. But the pictures were smeared with white streaks caused by pigeons that had made their home in the rafters. Ali picked up the board and turned it around, face to the wall. Then as he started to leave, Smith heard him mumble, “I had the whole world, and it wasn’t nuthin’. Look at me now.” The Psalmist wrote, “All our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you” (vv. 6-7 NLT).

Clear directed,you not just foolish,you are also deluded,well how much more is expected from a slave to herdsmen. Broken piece of shiit

If you see a slave you should know one. Slaves are who are and will never have a rulership to a nation. Slaves they are, and slaves they will remain.

normrebel:
Our growth and success after the war is a clear indication that we will still be here after pathetic bloodline and pedigree can only be found in lost scrolls. FooL.

....your forefathers are fools, since the only thing you can do is to pick on someone that is giving a clear direction where your generation are heading out to. #Ode!

Apart from Dasuki, someone else is sure funding this deadly group. God, please expose all this wicked people in this country.

Is this how gradually these tribe will go into extinction?

“A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.”  Mt 12:20 NIV

Dealing with a loved one’s suicide

When a loved one dies from sickness, accident, violence, or advanced age, our grief, according to counselors, is labeled “uncomplicated” or “simple.” However, when they die by suicide our recovery process becomes “complicated,” fraught with often unanswerable questions. We experience guilt, even anger. “Was I not there for them? Should I have done more? Could I have helped prevent it?” “How could they do this to us? They were being purely selfish. They thought about nobody but themselves!” These feelings will take time and God’s grace to resolve. Friends and families of suicides often ask the following questions, to which the biblical answers can help in dealing with our grief. Is suicide murder? Scripture nowhere equates suicide with murder. Biblically, murder is an act committed against another. How does God feel about people who commit suicide? While God can’t be said to support suicide, nobody understands better than He the despair that drives someone to escape from their unbearable suffering. At our lowest moment, our Father cannot deny His compassion for us. “A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.” Are suicides saved or lost? (1) There is only one “unpardonable sin,” (See Mt 12:31-32) and it’s not suicide! (2) “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons…nor anything else…will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Ro 8:38-39 NIV). Not even suicide can quench God’s love or cancel the salvation that love bought for us!

Who send him message?

....how did you know the price?

Got the info from the phone number on the thread.

Very pathetic! I wonder why those who are trust to protect us will continue to harm us every time. The police needs a complete overhauling.

“First…be reconciled…then…offer your gift.”  Mt 5:24 NIV

Seek reconciliation (2)

Are you at odds with someone? Is it constantly on your heart, robbing you of peace and even affecting your job performance? Here’s what Jesus said you’re supposed to do: “If you are offering your gift at the altar and…remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there…First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift” (vv. 23-24 NIV). You say, “I’m waiting for him to come to me.” What if he doesn’t? Today Jesus is telling you, “Go and be reconciled.” That’s humbling. And it’s risky, because you may not get the response you hope for. Why didn’t Jesus say, “Wait a while and the situation might change”? Because when you allow things to bottle up, you blow up! You end up bringing out all the ammunition—everything that’s bothered you about the person for the last decade! On the other hand, maybe you’ve decided to “sleep on it” for now. The Bible says, “Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil” (Eph 4:26-27 NLT). The Enemy wants to hurt both of you by driving a wedge between you—are you going to let him do that? What if you win the argument but the other person walks away wounded and upset? What’s more important, the point you’re trying to make or the relationship? For God’s sake, and for your own sake, forgive, overlook the offense, and get on with your life. What’s at stake here is your gift! If you want God to use and bless you—don’t wait, seek reconciliation.

May his soul rest in peace.

No matter how their ranks differ, Nigeria Police is still Nigeria Police. They are all dirty and self centred.

How much

N8,700 per bag.

What a perfect gift of advice from a father to a son.

OLADD:
Jona reduced the PMS price from N97 to N87 but Lai Mohammed and APC cried blue murder. Today, while in govt, all APC-led administration can do was a N2 reduction! What a scam!

.....N85 with all subsidy gone though.

“If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense.”  Mt 18:15 NLT

Seek reconciliation (1)

After explaining the commandment that says, “Honor thy father and thy mother” (Ex 20:12), a Sunday school teacher asked her class of six-year-olds, “Can you think of a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?” Without missing a beat, a little boy answered, “Thou shalt not kill” (v. 13). Seriously, why did Jesus make such a big deal out of being reconciled to our brothers and sisters in the faith instead of letting disputes between us fester? After all, He considered it important enough to give us a three-step plan for handling it. First, go to the person privately. Second, take two or three others with you so that what is said can be confirmed. Third, if those two actions don’t bring reconciliation in the relationship, take it to the leaders of your church. However, if you read these Scriptures without reading the ones that follow, you’ll miss the whole point Jesus is making. He said: “I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them” (Mt 18:19-20 NLT). When we seek reconciliation and come into unity, two wonderful things happen: (a) We can pray with confidence and get the results we need. (b) We enjoy a sense of God’s abiding peace and presence that’s not possible as long as the issue remains unresolved. So if you want to walk in God’s blessing today, seek reconciliation.

Lol.........

A. Transfer immediately...
B. Get out of town quickly.

On a more serious note, inform the authority about the money and get some commission out of it.

She is not bad in the costume though.

Merry Christmas to you too LesbianBoy!

.....but, LesbianBoy?

You really need to learn fast man. Your mother is a template for you to learn how to handle your future wife, and if you don't make your mother happy now, I wonder how you are going to make your wife happy later. No matter how tough our mother could be, they always wanted the best for us. And, mind you, we ought not to be rude to none of our parents even to those who are older than us. Men, even ladies behaving in such your manners are not showing any sign of responsibility at all. I therefore support your dad, that you should go and prostrate to your mum and ask for her forgiveness kia kia now.

Christmas Day – Friday December 25


“Let it be to me according to your word.”  Lk 1:38 NKJV

Born, growing and living in you

The story of the virgin birth illustrates how close God wants to get to us. In a sense He’s asking you the same question He asked Mary: “Are you willing to let Me in?” Just as Mary conceived the Christ Child, Jesus can be born in you and live His life through you. What an amazing thought. What a privilege! Paul prayed, “That Christ may dwell in your hearts” (Eph 3:17 NIV). John said, “Those who obey…live in him, and he in them” (1Jn 3:24 NIV). Jesus promised, “If anyone…opens the door, I will come in” (Rev 3:20 NIV). All God asks is an invitation and an open heart. God was with Adam in the garden. He was with Abraham and called him His friend. But as a redeemed child of God, Jesus is in you. And He will keep growing in you until He comes out in your words, your attitudes, your lifestyle, and the choices you make each day. Are you struggling with bitterness? Or worry? Or unforgiveness? Or bad habits? Since Jesus lives in you, you have access to His awesome power. That’s how come Paul talks about “striving according to His power, which mightily works within me” (Col 1:29 NAS). God isn’t looking for great talent, He’s looking for simple trust. Mary must have felt overwhelmed and inadequate when she heard what God had in mind for her. Nevertheless she said, “Let it be to me according to your word.” Do you want to have a great Christmas? Make that your prayer too.

One of the world's problem is religion. And our religious leaders aren't doing enough sometimes to build bridges within the gaps that separated us. Man must understand that brotherly love come first before any religion of hate. Merry Christmas to all my Christian, Muslim & other religion brothers & sisters. Odun a yabo fun gbogbo waa oooo.

Tragedy. God have mercy on us for the remaining of this year oooo. RIP to all the dead. I sincerely pass my condolence to the families of the dead.

Madness, that just the word.
