wink2015:
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has not really impacted on the lives of Deltans and non indigene living in the state.

He keep talking about his pet project "DELTA STATE SMART AGENDA" But it is all rhetorics and big grammar and empty words infact there is virtually no industry or companies in Delta state. Driving of Keke ( tricycle ) is now the pre-occupation of polytechnic, college of education and university graduate.

Come to Asaba, Warri, Sapele, Ughelli, Abraka, Kwale, Oleh, Ozoro, Patani, etc it is all story of neglect, frustration and gross unemployment.

This is not the same story with Ogun state where the state government encourage the massive growth of industries where youth are gainfully employed.

Why can't Delta state youth enjoy job opportunity like their counterpart in Ogun state. There is no youth restiveness or youth crisis but Okowa has no vision.

Okowa is not making any effort to travel abroad to bring in the foreign investors. The governor of Abia state Dr Okezie Ikpeazu recently travelled to China to bring in chinese investors. He also sponsored youth across the various local government in Abia state to China to learn shoe making. That is progess but governor Okowa does not think in this direction.

In fairness to governor Okowa, he met a Delta economy ruined by the global drop in oil price in the International market.

Governor Okowa also met an economy that is allegedly looted by previous administration starting from the past military administrators, etc.

Ex-Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and Ex-governor James Ibori also contributed to the misfortune of the state as they promoted corruption and mala-adminstration during their time as governors.

This Sanusi and his 18 year old bride ...before one talks about its rightness or wrongness, a lot of questions have to be answered. Questions like: 1) Is it legal, moral? 2) Is she mature? 3) Was she forced to marry him? 4) Were you sexually active at 18? 5) Can she vote? 6) Can an 18year old be in love? 7) Can an 18year old handle marriage? Does Omotola who married at 18 have 2 heads? 9) Why are you angry? 10) Do you know Kylie Jenner? 11) Do you know Kylie Jenner is 18, has been dating since 17, is a $ multimillionaire and has her own house? 12) Do you know Jeff who just won Project Fame is 18? 13) Do you know that tech & other factors has ensured kids get mature/wiser earlier? 14) Do you know ManU's Martial is married and has a child? He is 19. How old was he when he got married? How old do you think his wife is? 15) Do you know an 18 year old could be more exposed, intelligent, experienced, and a BETTER spouse thansome 30 year olds? Before you attack Sanusi or scream # ChildNotBride , please ask yourself these15 questions and answer them with the fear of God. Thank you‪#‎copied

Bidam: FROM THE LITTLE I GATHERED FROM IMAGE POST... MONEY CANNOT ADVANCE GOD'S KINGDOM BECAUSE THE KINGDOM ITSELF IS ZOE..THE LIFE FORCE OF GOD..I STAND TO BE CORRECTED THOUGH..YTOU GUYS ALWAYS MIX UP MINISTRY AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD..THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS BRO...

Image123: Like i said earlier, the writer has been frank/sincere but not entirely truthful. It is needful that you are truthful and not mixing truth with error no matter how little, especially when you stand to condemn others. just to touch on some few points raised,

Actually, the apostles took the Word from Judea to Samaria and to the other parts of the earth. It wasn't from Samaria to Judea. It's little it seems but nonetheless accurate. All you need to do is read this reference book of Acts the writer talked about. Also, the apostles remained in Jerusalem while other christians were scattered about.
[color=#990000]Act 15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
Act 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, [size=18pt]except the apostles[/size].
Act 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

Also, the fact needs to be stated that most of these preachers under attack have been to different locations(inviting and non-inviting) all across the globe. It remains unfair that one lazy writer can sit on some blog and make outlandish assumptions without presenting what he himself has done. The great commission is the responsibility of every believer. you who is demanding action, what have you done, and to what effect.
Rom 2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?



Where please, because you are matching this with the impression that Jesus acted like some sort of union or activist against the govenment of His time. Jesus is NEVER recorded as speaking against the government. He had Caesar Augustus, Nero, Pilate, the Herods and co. And they were quite oppressive rulers but He never spoke against them even when tempted to, as recorded the the case of giving to Caesar, and of pilate's murderous behaviour, where He(Jesus) was expected to 'react'. Instead Barabbas the robber was the seditious fellow, and as the people chose and loved him, so it is today.


God or Jesus never sent us to start schools or render education(free or paid). It is your own volition or discretion what you do about that as long as it doesn't contradict God's plan for your life. The christian missionaries in your dad's time were funded by the tithes, offerings, mission vows and pledges of others in their country(ies). No disrespect to their sacrifices, but they didn't build schools, churches and hospitals with water. White people contributed these monies in many ways like they do today. There are so called christian universities in their countries too. Anyone can give a scholarship based on several reasons, it is not a christian peculiarity or a pass to Heaven. Most schools have scholarship programs, and it cannot be for everybody. If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. The great commission does not enforce giving of freebies. Add these to your thoughts.

Zarian5: since u live in the north too, do u ever heard of imam owning a private jet? Our mosques are not business centres like most of ur churches.

kingzson1: Who ever wrote this piece lacks wisdom of GOD,al he has is Obvious knowlege.where were u? Wen dis men of GOD were on the road,preaching and evangelising,where were u wen they were insulted by those they preached to.nw u stand here to write such an empty piece absent of GODLY reasoning.today because GOD has blessd them,u cn open ur mouth to tok,why don't u start a church from scratch n see how easy it is to hv a ministry.stop allowing the devil use u,get a job. Are u tryin to tell me that there are no sincere men of GOD in this country that have attained heights that are worthy of note? Mtchew!!! Look here young man everyone may agree with u bt I dnt n if u read the scripture u will unsderstand the tins u don't...good day.

zoelife: God bless you Bro. Talk, and MB, is cheap these days. Anyone can now criticize because of free technology.
@op: Bro, Democracy is not, and has never been God's ideal. If ur Christianity hasn't moved beyond church-going, mere followership to a deep personal relationship dat no one can take from you, then you had better get to work on it cos dats d only sure thing dat can keep u in these times of multiple doctrines. Guard ur heart!

christemmbassey: brother these are ppl that Jesus died for, Am concern o, such ignorance is not even found among unbelievers. The thieves have infiltrated the church o and their intention is john10:10..

wordthots: My broda, there's a very big difference between the Old covenant and The new covenant. Most of the examples you gave were men under the old covenant, this men didn't have the holy spirit indwelling them.
In our dispensation if a man gives in to anger or fornication, its nt necessarily a spirit, its his ignorance of Gods word. True deliverance is only found in the word of God and nt in Deliverance sessions conducted by churches. Its the word that sets a man free. Its abt renewing the mind thru Gods word.

About Jesus, the Men who He delivered from demons were nt born again because nobody could have bn born again before Jesus shed his blood...this men didn't av the Holy spirit indwelling them.

technically the new covenant (our dispensation) started in Acts ("technically". Hebrews 9 explains ds

15 [Christ, the Messiah] is therefore the Negotiator and Mediator of an [entirely] new agreement (testament, covenant), so that those who are called and offered it may receive the fulfillment of the promised everlasting inheritance—since a death has taken place which rescues and delivers and redeems them from the transgressions committed under the [old] first agreement.
16 For where there is a [last] will and testament involved, the death of the one who made it must be established,
17 For a will and testament is valid and takes effect only at death, since it has no force or legal power as long as the one who made it is alive.
18 So even the [old] first covenant (God’s will) was not inaugurated and ratified and put in force without the shedding of blood. AMP

Godbless

agb2011: u ar wrong. Salvation does not exempt us from spiritual attacks but it only gives us the weapon to fight with.

U ar right if u say dt once u ar in Christ u don't really need deliverance. But do u know dt u must av reached a certain level spiritually wt God. Take a man who just got born again and repents from d sin of masturbation, he'l need deliverance to break d chemically reaction he has set in motion in his brain. A man whose father has dedicated to a god needs deliverance.
Even a good christian needs deliverance (a combination of fasting and prayer) for spiritual strength. Even Jesus mentioned dt some demons can only b cast out wt fasting and prayer. Jesus' ministry was majorly a deliverance ministry.

christemmbassey: @Goshen360 are you really seeing what Am seeing in this thread? Bro what are we gonna do about these rampaging ignorance, some even said, "it doesnt matter, whether you are a christian, everybody needs deliverance" another one also quoted the beautiful-Hebrews 11 and murdered her, how can a 'christian' be so 'dead' so 'canal' ? Do they know who a 'christian' is? Well, I concede to them, they do NEED DELIVERANCE, from lack of knowledge (Hosea 4::6, john8: 32), from falsehood, fron unbelief(Heb3:18-19)they could not enter into, or experience the liberty of God's Spirit because of unbelief. So they DO NEED DELIVERANCE. Stay blessed.

Batam: I believe in deliverance because it is continuous action. Majority of Jesus Christ's miracle were deliverance.
Do not let any pastor deceive you that once you give your life to Christ you are no longer vulnerable to spiritual attacks, in fact that is the beginning of battle with the former evil habits that you are indulging in before. You constant prayer to be free totally to maintain your gift which is salvation

Goshen360: Oh, my goodness! I don't have time to deal with this subject today o.

@ ifihearam and others who says deliverance is for CHRISTIANS, will you mind showing us from scriptures ONE SINGLE CHRISTIAN in the early church that deliverance was conducted for? Someone said the whole purpose of Christ was to come and deliver us, NOW, if Christ has delivered us, what deliverance are you talking about again? Is it not for us to LIVE n freedom that remains. You people are simply insulting the works of Christ and saying demons can live in the temple of God, our body. I need answers to the above question please.
