While moderation may be closely confused with righteousness, it is in fact not. Neither conformism nor lukewarmness is godliness either.

Looking good is an expensive choice. How much did Ebuka's tailor quote for his agbada again? #280k!

Poverty and penury is not holiness. To feed your stereotype, pastors don't have to be stinky and beggarly. How do I accept their message if they don't look admirable.

#IamwithBiodunFatoyinboonthis1

you don't need to wear expensive clothing to be admired, your essence is what sells u

The number one thing that makes it difficult to pray is sin. Sin separates us from God and makes it difficult to relate with him. So, I'll advice you to examine your conscience to see if u r living an ungodly lifestyle.

However, when it seems hard to pray, just acknowledge the greatness of God and thank him for his goodness. Playing and meditating upon a gospel song that expresses your feelings is another way to speak to God.

Thanx

MrMystrO:
I believe there is A cause, An ultimate cause of All Things to exist which we Cannot Explain but is very visible if you study the natural World and eventually the universe as a whole. Religion is NOT finding this cause but an Attempt to find this cause. Most of the religions we have today are attempts of Men who lived thousands of years ago to explain this cause with the Limited knowledge they Had and they tried to the best of their understanding like they always did, to explain things which were beyond them. But then The world Moves in an evolutionary circle. Everything, including the knowledge of Man evolves and so Things that were once considered "Permanent Truths" today might not be seen the same way 1000 years from now, eg. back then people thought the earth was flat, and that the sun revolves around the earth and everyone believed this to be True when in reality, they knew almost absolutely nothing about the way our solar system works. But they had questions and needed to answer them one way or another and so they "Tried". At the end of the day, You are free to search for "Your Truth" Depending on the level of Evolution of your Mind. So if people have found peace in Christianity or any other religion, i believe we should let them be to follow the path they choose, As everyone cannot be on the same stage of Soul Evolution.

Your understanding which u have explained above is your religion. The only difference between u and Christians is that you do not follow 'organised religion'.

MrMystrO:
I am not a Christian neither do i belong to any Religion whatsoever, but i do believe Religion is still an absolute necessity For a lot of people, especially those from Third world countries like Nigeria! Yes, and here's why i think so: :
I am a deist, or theist at best, But contrary to my previous beliefs, i don't think our people,that is, ordinary Nigerians are Ready for the Raw undiluted truths about Reality and Life just yet. Religion was designed by a Group of Extremely smart men as a Tool for General mental slavery for the masses by playing on the mind of the individual, Providing them with easy answers to the most fundamental questions we ask as humans, Thereby keeping them all away from seeking further truths, and instead more concerned about other less complex things. The Truth is that this has really helped in keeping the masses in a tightly controlled state and also helped avoid the chaos that would occur if people discovered the real truths about Reality and Life itself. I do think the decline of Religion is inevitable and someday, our future generations to come will look back and laugh at how stupid we were for actually Believing some of the most unrealistic, extremely obvious fables man has ever known, and still claim to be advanced people. But That is still a long way to come and as for now, people especially in countries like Nigeria don't need to know the Raw truths just yet, Imagine a Murderer or a kidnapper,or a robber or rapist eventually turning to an atheist?? Doesn't sound too Nice right? What will be the inner force that will torment their conscience after committing Horrible acts? Some people haven't developed stable minds up to this time, to be able to act Right and possess good moral standards without religion just yet. So most people still need Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed and the rest in their lives for now before they can talk about moving on to deeper truths. So contrary to my previous beliefs that we as a people need to be free from Religious slavery, I now realize that Religion is absolutely necessary to Help maintain Order in the Society so for now, Daddy freeze should let Christians and other people practicing their various religions to be. This is my own take on this issue.

How can u be a theist without being religious? Once you believe in God you will certainly find a way to reach him, that finding him is what religion is

Christians have no business tithing. You can't separate the law from the curse. Once you are under it, you are automatically under its curse. He who has ears let him hear.

If it's lalasticl.ala, it's frontpage

Well, I'm a Christian.
I give my tithes.
I'm not forced or coerced to give it.

Jesus died that I might have life in Abundance, to the full, till it overflows.

If folks under the old covenant pay 10%,
I'm under a better covenant and my God deserve more than 10%.

If I don't pay my tithes, there is NO curse that will come upon me because I've been redeemed from the curse of the law.

you were never under the old law since you are not a Jew.

PDP made Aisha Buhari shit twice today instead of her usual habit of once daily

Obasanjo made the declaration on Friday according to Nigerian Tribune at his Abeokuta Hilltop resident in Abeokuta, Ogun State Capital when he received members of a political association, The National Patriots’ Movement of Nigeria (NPMN), led by the national coordinator, Chief Dosu Oladipo

At the meeting, which lasted for about five hours, were more than 70 eminent politicians drawn from all the states in the South-West.

The purpose of the meeting, Sunday Tribune gathered, was to inform the former president of the aim of the group and seek his elderly advice.

The former leader used the occasion of the visit to bare his mind on the debate of the possible emergence of a third force, as the march towards 2019 general election progressed.

this man should just go and sit down. He thinks he is Mr Nigeria when in reality he is the architect of Nigeria's failing democracy

safarigirl:
is it not the people of God that are committing the social vices? You think it is Orisa that all those robbers, yahoo boys and prostitutes are following?

All the corrupt politicians that have front seat in church, are they serving Amadioha?

It is prosperity pastors that have convinced people by words and actions that poverty is a sin and so they must do anything to get rich. They are the custodians of morality, yet how many of them criticise the government?

All the social vices you see today are a result of silence on the part of supposed men of God, so Freeze should tackle them until they start preaching the truth

hmmmm. you make sense today

African dream you mean?

waiting for Mr Freezer's reply. Today go sweet

Executive SGF. oya come and beat me

Buhari is very scared of this Dasuki man. I suspect the memory of Dasuki sticking the cold nuzzle of a gun to his head and leading him out of the presidential palace, memories of a dark 1985 night still haunt him. He is scared of a repeat of 85' that is why he cannot let the man roam free. Baba is scared of Dasuki

make we see.wetin.he.go yan

get well soon. The stress Buhari made him go through in jail will definitely remove at least 5yrs from Sir Ekwueme's lifespan

4. That Catholics worship images

Well, there are a lot of statues that can be seen around and within a Catholic Church. One thing is certain however, No priest will ever tell u to give them worship. The statues basically help to remind us of what they depict. Nobody goes to the Church to worship any statue there but to pray and offer worship to Yahweh through his son Jesus Christ.
I will explain it this way, when a Catholic enters a Catholic church and sees the statue of St. Michael the archangel, with Angel Michael holding a sword and crushing the satan under his feet, he/she immediately is reminded of the defeat of satan as recorded in scriptures. He therefore connects with the scripture even before opening the Bible.

3. That Catholics are not spiritual.

The answer to this is that Catholics are generally not hypocritical, they are more practical in their faith. It is not those that shout Lord Lord that will necessary be justified

2. That Catholics don't read the Bible.

Another false claim. Everyday at Mass passages are read from the Bible and one of them must be from the Gospel i.e one of the first four books of the New Testament. However, the Church does not depend on the written word alone but also on tradition. It must also be noted that there cannot be a contradiction between the written word and tradition. The critics of this must realize that the Bible is a product of tradition. I will explain this if anyone argues against it

I have come to realise that most of those that bash the Catholic Church's teachings know very little about the Catholic Church and what a practicing Catholic believe. I, as a life-long Catholic will try to correct some misconceptions here

1. The believe that Catholics elevate Mary to and above the place of Christ.

This one is straightforward false and you just need to attend a Catholic Mass to disprove the above notion. The most important celebration in the Catholic Church is the Holy Mass. The Mass is 100 percent Christ Focus. The Mass is actually a prayer of the faithfuls to God while offering Christ as the victim. He is both the victim and priest. We believe that the Mass is the greatest prayer because when God sees the Christ offered he pardons and answers just like he passed over when he saw the blood of the unblemished lamb on the door post of the isrealites.
The entire teaching of the Catholic Church is summarized thus; Jesus Christ born of the virgin Mary died to save mankind. Catholics spend 40days reflecting on Christ's ultimate sacrifice during lent(we preach Christ and him crucified).
Yes, Catholics rever Mary but never above Jesus. Mary's greatness comes from her important association with Christ, she therefore derives her greatness from Christ. She is the God bearer, Mother of God, the Ark of the covenant, the greatest woman that has ever lived(blessed are you amongst women and blessed is the fruit of your womb), she therefore shares in the blessing of Christ. As an analogy, I would love readers to imagine that it prophesied that Jesus will be born again by a girl in Nigeria, imagine the reverence that you will give to that girl.

ok

The way this country is going now, it wouldn't be a surprise if we wake up to see the above headline. Afterall, what is d difference between Evans and Maina

This Buhari thinks governance is all about paying salaries.
