Article writing on fiverr. People say the market is crowded but I do not think so. It is only crowded with people who are only interested in making quick money. There is no ponzi freelance platform. Article writing has paid me more than many people may believe.

can u coach me sir?

nofij:
Freelancing has paid the bills for me.... I doubt I'll ever work for anyone.

what's ur skill?

Breaking news:Another unprecedented achievement of President Buhari.
Buhari has done what no other Nigerian president or Iboman,alive or dead has done,spending N1billion on Ekwueme!
Incompetent simpletons that have reduced governance to a thing of ridicule and beer parlor banter!!

u didnt read what the money was spent on? capital projects therefore its not a waste.

the roads will be ever useful afterwards

soberdrunk:
If you watched the confession video and you believed it, your gullibility is a threat to not just you but your family and loved ones

y are u so sure that this wasn't a set up??

kelechi50:
Please let us know the politicians and pastors involved joor, for us to believe your confession.

u mean after her family and now herself have debunked the accusations and her refusal to show up in court last November, u still not believe? such a pity!!!

HeyCorleone:
What she said was the other obvious thing.

Last year when the accusations came up there were 2 camps; those saying yes the pastor was guilty, and those who said she had paid sponsors.

She has jumped from one side to the other and what she's now saying is what majority, if not all, of his ardent Church members said.

And it's very unintelligent at that. You don't just come out and make claim. Give details in full if indeed what you're saying is true.
I mean when she was accusing the man she came with concrete proof. But now she's without any. Methinks it's because there is this belief that majority of dimwitted Christians would believe her without evidence because they see the man as Jesus Christ. Such nonsense.

Deep down I feel she has been paid heavily to switch sides. My 2 cents tho'.

becos ur heart hv been so perverted to believe what u want to believe!!

STOP BLAMING THE CHURCH FOR THE BACKWARDNESS OF NIGERIA.... NIGERIA IS NOT BACKWARD IN TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMY BECAUSE OF CHRISTIANITY, OR BECAUSE OF TOO MANY CHURCHES (23,000 Registered Churches, according to CAC Report), OR BECAUSE OF OVER DEPENDENCE ON PRAYER OR BECAUSE OF OUR COMMITMENT TO CHURCH ACTIVITIES - U.D. UMOH My reason is is that..... America has her national day of prayer every year from her independence till Obama came to abolish it though it has been reinstated now by Trump. Highest number of churches, largest Churches, highest number of pastors etc are all based in USA USA is the most christianized nation in the world. Their believe in God is the first statement in their constitution. Their believe in God is written boldly on the their currency - the dollar, they talk Christianity and practice christianity more than Nigeria and more than any other nation of the world yet, that has not made them backward in anyway. Rather, it made them to rise to become the strongest nation in the world for now, in all spheres of life. America is the most Christianized nation in the world after the Vatican. Yet America tops the world in almost everything. Israel is the most religiously committed nation in the world and the most scientifically advanced in the world with 90% of global inventions traceable to them. 90% of scientific inventions in world history were all done by very committed and devoted Christians. So, Christianity, and building of Churches, and prayers etc, is NOT the reason for the backwardness of Nigeria. All the nations that are doing well in ICT, Technology, Infrastructure, Economy etc are not doing so because of the absence of Churches BUT because of sound, purposeful and exemplary leadership! The poorest countries in the world are not Christian countries either.... so Christianity isn't the reason. In Our nation Nigeria, we have NEVER had a core Christian leader lead our nation before* Most destiny impacting decisions and policies that has shapped (CRIPPLED) our national life was taken by military rulers and they were mostly Moslems or at most, they were NOT SERIOUS CHRISTIANS. That doesn't necessarily mean that if they were Christians, they could have done better... The little light that our country NIGERIA is seeing now is that which was and is provided by Christianity. 80% of the great schools that produced some great minds who have excelled in various fields of endeavours were raised by the Church in various MISSION SCHOOLS ACCROSS THE COUNTRY. The government never invested in education untill recently. Most hospitals back then (before independence and few years after independence) were MISSION Hospitals untill recently. The outbreak and explosion of Churches as well as the MONETIZATION of Churches is a very recent thing. As at 1982 or there about, RCCG had only 42 branches worldwide. Winners Chapel had just started... with about 20 members at Illorin before moving to Kaduna. Church of God Mission that gave Nigeria and Africa the First Private University was still at the credle of growth while Christ Embassy and other Mega Churches we have today etc were not even there... That's the period when Nigeria had her oil boom and Shagari was in power with the late Dr Alex Ekweme of blessed memory as his vice. The oil boom money was neither invested in technology, ICT, Infrastructure etc... but was looted by politicians and it ocassioned the military coup that sacked that political despensation. Subsequent military regimes and political despensation have NOT been different. They looted more too. The Military birthed our present political fraud cum wickedness called and referred to as our National "CONSTITUTION" that empowers our National Assembly members to earn about 35Million naira monthly for doing almost nothing... (a job that Patriotic Volunteers are willing to do for free) Whereas, no Senate (Legislature) in countries with better economic standing than ours, earn up to 1.5 million naira equivalent monthly. Our Governors are given about a minimum of a whooping 5billion monthly as SECURITY VOTE which they spend at their descretion... not accountable to anybody backed up by law... only the security votes of Governors alone can transform this country... if well utilized. At independence, One Naira was equall to ONE POUND, and One Naira was equall to TWO DOLLARS... or there about The Church was there before independence taking the responsibility of Government and doing all that the Government should be doing.... Building Schools, Hospitals, even roads, etc. If I may ask, Why was our economy good then....? And lots of missionary activities were going on... The Church fought and ended slave trade, sponsored most of the founding fathers of our nation to study abroad and return to struggle for as well as influence the granting of our independence. The CHURCH is not responsible for our backwardness and lack of development PLEASE. If I may even ask, WHAT HAS OTHER RELIGION DONE FOR THE NIGERIAN SOCIETY? I'm yet to know of any School or hospital, etc except buying of converts with money and charity and killing of those who resist them or reject their offer... Lets be KINDLY BE REMINDED that It is NOT the PRAYERS OF THE CHURCH that killed the groundnut pyramid in the North, the Cocoa pyramid in the West, and the Palm Fruit pyramid in the East, which was the main stay of the nigerian economy before independence and before the discovery of oil in 1956 at Oloibiri. It was NOT the prayers of the Church that chased away PEUGEOT Manufacturing, MICHELLIN Tyres, and hundreds of other Manufacturing Companies from Nigeria to Ghana and so on.... Its NOT the Loud Speakers in Churches that Closed down our three Refineries for over 20 years, and build Private Refineries abroad and initiate importation of fuel from there to drown the Nigerian economy with trillions of dollars spent or looted as Subsidy. It is NOT the Church that made local refineries to function in the creeks of Niger Delta, labelled as ILLEGAL REFINERIES yet Our National LEGAL refineries can't function... The Church did NOT approve the payment of about a million naira or more as meal allowance for Ministers of the Federal Government daily and monthly. Such An amount that when put together times 36 ministers monthly, Can build a new large capacity refinery every month or a standard manufacturing factories every month to boost national development ... Our Political leaders conspired and conived to mismanage the affairs of our nation and we are all silent about it for obvious reasons but very quick at blaming the Church as if it was the responsibility of the Church. South Africa is about the most advanced nation in Africa. It is 90% Christian Country before Apartheid, during apartheid and uptill date. Christianity got to SA and have been in South Africa long before Nigeria. S.A is more Prominent in the History of Charismatic Christianity in Africa than Nigeria YET Christianity didn't make them backward. However, after Aparthied, when power was handed over to the blacks, ONE RAND was equal to ONE DOLLAR. Now the blacks are fully incharge and in power, and recently ONE DOLLAR is equal to about 50 RAND. Now, S.A has gotten into RECCESSION... as was announced last year... Would you blame the Church for that? A good analysis of world history, shows that the more a country embraces Christianity and Her Ethics... the more prosperous they became... from Germany, To France, to Britain then to USA. Therefore, I Submit to us that For Nigeria to come out this captivity, we must stand up and hold our leaders both past and presen accountable, and bring them to book and have them account for and pay for their mismanagement of this blessed nation. That when done, Will serve as a deterent to future political leaders from toying with the resources and destiny of this nation... Yes, there are some Church leaders who may have messed up and so on... but be that is it may, THE STATE OF OUR NATION COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF NOT FOR THE CHURCH, HER PRAYERS, MESSAGES AND TEACHINGS. Christianity had made Africa better than what Africa could have been without it. Africa could have been a grave yard by now without Christianity. Both Orthodox Christianity and Pentecostal Christianity have done so much for Africa. The backwardness of Africa is not the fault of Christianity. America is the foremost Christian nation in the world and she is NOT backward at all. Prosperity Gospel Started in America and it made America to rise to become the most powerful nation in the world. Dubai, is clean and is one of the best tourist destinations in the world. She is NOT a Christian nation. Christianity didn't make it happen. IT IS THE GOVERNMENT THAT MADE IT HAPPEN. China has risen from a third world country to a world power and it was not Christianity that made it happen, the GOVERNMENT did. The author of the post above thst I am responding to, shouldn't blame Christianity for the woes of Nigeria or Africa at all... Christianity came to Nigeria and Africa when we were killing twins, killing one another via inter tribal wars, when we could not read nor write... when we had no nation nor government etc Christianity fought and stopped the killing of twins, abolished human sacrifices via traditional idol worship.... Christianity established, financed and managed the first set of schools that taught Nigerians and Africans how to read and write. Christianity Established, financed and managed hospitals that treated Nigerians and Africans and saved us from dying in our millions from Common malaria etc Christianity gave us our first pipe borne water etc just to mention a few... The Christian missionaries who brought Christianity to Nigeria and Africa at large made all these to happen long before colonization and independence. Now, come to think of it, what has other religion done for Nigeria and Africa? Which school, hospital etc did they build or which social vices etc did they fight, conquer and abolish ? The answer is obvious... Yet the author of the post that I'm responding to, did not condemning them, but Christianity that has done so much for us is being attacked and condemned. That's very unfortunate... Yes, we may have some abuses of the Christian message, conducts, ethics and dogmas by some untrained pastors whose calling is their stomach, who see the pastoral calling as an escape route from joblessness and poverty who may be messing around. That does not make Christianity what the post above potrays.... Since GOVERNMENT and self GOVERNANCE came on board and they took over the running of schools from Churches, the standard of education got shattered and we are yet to recover from it. Today, the best schools in this country are private schools mostly owned and operated by Churches and Christians and yet they are subject of attacks... I dont know of anything that other religion are doing as their contribution to national development. Presently, most Government owned institutions are nothing to write home about as compared to Church owned institutions... The church and Christianity have contributed so much towards the development of Nigeria inspite of some few bad eggs who may be mis - representing us.... However, we must NOT forget that Making Nigeria and Africa move to the same page like America and attain the status of relevance like any of the world power nations.... IS NOT the responsibility nor vision of the Church. That's the responsibility of the Government. All developed nations and first world countries were developed by their respective governments and not by religion or religious organizations. PEASE LET THE GOVERNMENT DO HER JOB AND PLEASE LEAVE THE CHURCH AND CHURCH LEADERS ALONE !!! The vision and mission of the Church as clearly stated in the Bilbe are CLEAR ! THE VISION & MISSION OF THE CHURCH.... These ARE the things that God established and ordained the Church to do. Anything outside these, is a deviation from God's original purpose.... The Church was meant to be.... 1. A House Of Sacrifice ! 2 Chron 7:11-16 The Church was first known as a house of Sacrifice. God told Solomon so when the first Temple was being dedicated - 2Chron 7:12 God loves a Cheerful giver - 2Cor 9:7 (6-13) It's more blessed to give than to receive - Acts 20:35 2. A House Of Prayer ! - Matt 21:12,13,14 Jesus said that the Temple, His Father's house (the Church) is a house of prayer - Matt 21:13 In the New Testament, the early Church Disciples continued steadfastly in prayers - Acts 2:41,42 The Apostles dedicated themselves CONTINUALLY to prayer - Acts 6:4 The early Church prayed without ceasing for Peter and God intervened, delivered him from death, released him from prison and destroyed King Herod who wanted to kill him and scatter the Church - Acts 12:1-"5"-"11"-"21-23" 3. House Of God is The Ground and The Pillar Of Truth - 1Tim 3:15 The Church is a place where the truth is preached without fear or favour ! When the real truth is preached... John 8:40 Some will be Mad Some will be Sad Some will be Glad Pilate asked Jesus... "what is truth?" - John 18:38 The truth is Jesus ! - John 14:6 Jesus is full of grace and truth - John 1:14 The Word of God is truth - John 17:17 True worshippers worship God in Spirit and in truth - John 4:23 The Holy Spirit was given to guide us into all truth - John 16:13 The truth when known, believed and practiced, sanctifies us - John 17:17,19 4. The Place Of Soul Winning ! - Acts 2:46,47 The Holy Spirit Was given to make us become his Witnesses (Soul Winners) - Acts 1:8 Soul winning is NOT making people to become rich Soul winning is NOT making people to get married Soul winning is NOT making people become educated Soul winning is NOT making people win elections Soul winning is NOT making people own houses and properties Soul winning is NOT making people have children Soul winning is NOT making people get promotion at their places of work Soul winning is NOT making people get visas and travel abroad Soul winning is NOT making people live long on earth Soul winning is NOT feeding people Soul winning is NOT building schools, hospitals, farms, empowering people with skills etc AS GOOD, NEEDFUL AND COMMENDABLE AS THESE THINGS MAY BE, THEY ARE NOT WHAT SOUL WINNING IS... THESE THINGS COULD BE GOTTEN WITH OR WITHOUT BEING A CHRISTIAN... NON CHRISTIANS EVEN SEEM TO HAVE MORE OF THESE THINGS THAN CHRISTIANS... Come to think of it What shall be your profit if you have all these things and lose your Soul - Matt 16:26 (Mark 8:36,37, Luke 12:19,20) If your vision is just to get these things alone, YOU ARE OF ALL MEN MOST MISERABLE - 1COR 15:19 You won't take any of the above things with you when you die and leave this world. You came to this world empty and you will go back empty ! You brought nothing to this world and will take nothing out at the end - 1Tim 6:7 You came naked to this world and you will return naked when you die - Job 1:21 "Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; FOR WHEN HE DIETH HE SHALL CARRY NOTHING AWAY " - Psalms 49:16,17 WHAT THEN IS SOUL WINNING ? Soul winning is making people to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and personal Saviour, repent from their Sins, be baptized in water, be filled with the Holy Ghost, manifest the fruits of the spirit, live to please God, be committed in the Service of God in the Church, and MOST IMPORTANTLY - Make it to heaven when they die or make rapture if they are alive to see rapture - Acts 2:37,38 Those who do NOT repent, no matter what they have or do not have, wether they are rich or poor, they will perish - Luke 13:3,5 Those who repent from their Sins, accept JESUS Christ and Live for him will NOT perish, but will be saved and will have everlasting life - John 3:15 -18 I AM U.D. UMOH, and I submitt to us that These are the FOUR MAIN THINGS that are clearly stated as the PURPOSE, VISION AND MISSION OF THE CHURCH May God help us to do them in Jesus Name ! Thank you.
Bishop UD UMOH

Why Do Thousands Of Churches Differ In Doctrine While They Read The Same Bible - Daddy Freeze

It has always been a question in my heart or should I say mind because I can't understand. Either you are a Roman Catholic, a Methodist, an Adventist, a Jehovah Witness, a protestant etc, we all read the same bible yet we are not and have never been the same.

Why is that? Was Bible created to be contradictory? Was it a deliberate art to make sure people don't understand each other? Why is it so?

Daddy Freeze shared the below picture showing the write up that has in many years eluded the understanding of men.

daddyfreeze The confusion has always been there, I just help to bring it to light!

One GO said if you don't pay tithe God will curse you, a G63 driving pastor said if you don't tithe there is no curse, illustrating his opinion with some weird astronomy doctrine, while another former private jet owning past president of 'Christianity' said "You go die o" and they say I'm the one causing the confusion.

Whats your take on this topic?

See below....

we cant fully comprehend who God is. the side of himself God reveals to you is what u should focus on. there were 12 apostles, if u don't like d way Paul preach go to Philip and if you don't like the way Philip preach go to Philemon!! just ensure Jesus and salvation is the central message!!!

money is good men, this guy does not work from 9 to 5 am or from monday to friday as usual.

the time, sacrifices he spends on training and body fitness can be likened to 9-5 and Monday to Friday kind of work!!

Bollinger:
That's the problem. You believe that there is a god so you might as well believe the pastor called him on his cell phone. Who's to say he didn't? If your god can walk on water and make blind people see with saliva, then he can as well receive a phone call and respond to it. It is line with all the miracles he has put his seal of approval on.

I thought you read my "PS"? did I say I believe anything?

Robbin7:
Where is he now and what does he do for a living?

he resides in South Korea, he is a professor in civil Engineering.

Bollinger:
I'm sure if your pastor gave you a prayer handkerchief you wouldn't have a problem with it right?

do u know Apostle Paul used aprons to perform miracles, do u also know Jesus used his saliva and soil to heal a blind man too? God can move through any medium!!
p. s: I'm not affirming or negating the authenticity of the pastor!! I leave that to God!!

see bro, in life, the presence of FAKE shouldn't take anything away from the reality of the TRUTH!! if there's a fake then there's surely an original. Every occupation have the quacks as well as the professionals so it shouldn't b different when it come to Christianity.
just ask God for the spirit of discernment so as to know who is true!!
don't generalize Everyman of God as fake!!

may God open ur eyes of understanding!!!
