Their position is one of survival and not of pride. Make things better for them.

Righteousness2:
There is No Modification to Love.
Real and True Love is not what you see on Social media or what is sung in songs.

The Hatreds, evils, Killings, Wickedness, backstabbings and Inhumanity on Earth cannot be cured with Shouting One love! One love!

Real Love is that a Man laid down HIS Life that ALL of Humanity will be Saved from Hell and Destruction.

JESUS CHRIST, The Savior of the world is the Real Definition of LOVE.
The World Needs to be Connected to JESUS Christ to Produce what True Love is.

Outside Christ, The World is Hopless, Helpless, Depressed ,Confused.
and will be Deceiving itself with one Love.
His consistent shouting of One Love upandan is tiring.

Did you know xhaka was blamed in the first picture because his error led to goal
I know, the heavy touch.

Have you spotted the difference the gks made? That's my point here.

Its not considered much a part of rating a GK, but that is going to make Fans Love him. It also inspires his Defenders to want to protect him as well.


Emirates need Some Inspiration right now.

That's some big difference between two of em.

Though Xhaka is left footer. But Ramsdale pointed at an option Partey could. Leno didn't. He just doesn't communicate well with them.


I won't lie Leno don save Arsenal alot of blushes tho. But what made the love drop was the way Martinez was dropped and sold and eventually same Leno is eager to leave Emirates a year after....

So he deserves part of that stick.

Christianity Etc › The Abner Lesson by daveP(op): 11:51pm On Sep 18, 2021
2. Samuel 2 to Chapter 4

Its A story we all might be very familiar with, but this lesson is one we as Believers must learn.

This Time in Israel is a time where the Death of Saul left the Kingdom without a King on the Throne. Two Fellows, David Son of Jesse, and Ish-boseth, son of Saul.

Kind David have been reigning as King in Judah already and he did for 7 and a half years, while The rest of Israel were without a leader.

Saul's C-in-C, Abner, took Ish-boseth, and after 5years of lobbying, made him king over all the other tribes of Israel. He only reigned 2 years.

Abner knew God's Plan and Choice of David as Leader, but stood in the way of this materializing for selfish reasons.

Abner knew about the Beginning of David's ascendancy to power and all of how his Boss made 21 attempts to kill David. Both Saul and Abner were fully aware of what threat David was to their Kingdom as a result of the Prophecy about his takeover. So Abner was not a novice at all on this matter. But he still went ahead to defy the odd. Thus Ish-boseth!!

In a show of strength and pride, a Bloody Contest occurred(2. Sam. 2:13-32). Abner lost. But he still went ahead by making Gibeon the capital of Israel.

Gibeon was close to Hebron, so this was a coyish act of trying to make an advancement on David's Kingdom, ambush it and win all Israel to be Ish-boseth's. A seasoned, wise Warrior Chief would think like Abner.

All these actions, knowing what God has already said about David.


It didn't end well. Abner died, and like a fool. He, an experienced warrior and Commander, was killed like a dog, unawares.


What Changed?

Before his death, Abner took his dead cousin's concubine, Rizpah to himself and King Ish-boseth questioned this decision. In anger at the audacity, Abner decided to suddenly transfer the entire power of the tribes over to David who was reigning in Hebron all the while.


A Woman caused this fulfillment of Prophecy!!
It was also women that triggered the Assassination Attempts on David by Saul all 21 times. When they praised David more than King Saul after Killing Goliath.

Abner now fully decided to hand over all to King David, who had no such intentions, except waiting for God's Time.

How will a Man be fully aware that God has chosen David, through the word of Prophet Samuel, and still be defiant and an hindrance?

How will a man, fully aware that he's been fighting God all the while with his actions will not be convinced that he should act in God's will, only after something personal as a concubine happened before he succumbed?

Also Note that the assurance of the Combining all Israel under one King also included a woman, Michal, as Assurance. Abner did his part, but Joab had other plans. 2. Samuel 3:13-15



Lesson:


Are you aware of what God has said concerning someone but standing in the way due to selfish reasons?


Do you only let go when it becomes your personal issues going very bad?


Why fight who God is defending?

Why flex your power fully aware Someone beneath you has God?


This might not apply to the wicked that don't fear God, but to fellow believers in places of power, working hard to frustrate the advancement of another believer due to selfish reasons.


If you are in such a position, know that God's Choice always wins at the end, and it will not end well for whoever stands in the way. Don't be a hindrance. Be a Stepping stone. Be it in the Church, at work, at home or school, etc. Wherever you find yourself.


Perhaps you're one of those expecting such a person to go hard after what they want because you are one of those that believe "the violent taketh it by force" before you're fully convinced.

Repent and Allow God's Will to benefit his people, and all at large.

Happy Sunday and God bless you as you become less an Abner.


If you are also impatient, Be a David. Trust God for the fufillment of His Word, patiently waiting on Him. Don't be desperate!

All this Revelations are why the EPL should stop being selective with VAR usage. ClattenUnited has been talking lately.

Its cos they aren't perfect they should check things with VAR.

The match replay will be up on dstv during the week, try and watch it. See how Pepe keeps on doing himself disservice failing to control the ball when he needs to and pushing the attack when we need him most. At this point it feels the club management is forcing him to play cos of FIS price tag and nothing more.
I hope extended highlights help a lil. I can't wait for LacaNelli then.

I love the two angles.


See Partey's look? cool

Pope didn't see that. Even if he did, he couldn't catch that. I love the fact that Ramsdale came out like Ederson does. I doubt Arteta instructed that cos Leno don't do that atall.



Nice defending from Gab and Tomiyasu.


I fear what Japan is building for the World Cup. Watchout.

Na dis thing I dey tell DaveP ó. He thinks pepe needs a decent RB to be at optimal level.
Lol. I didn't even watch this match. Slept off. Work up seeing Odegaard trending.


Even if I've wanted that RB option, i want it to generally click for the club as a whole, no neccesarily cos of Pepe. The way its a contest of goals for Liverpool, it should be like that too at Arsenal.

Be like Pepe dey do something wey Arteta no dey notcie be that. grin

Who watched Liverpool vs AC Milan?

That Trent-Arnold Goal?!

See how Salah was boxed to the touchline and without being told, TAA almost immediately ran into space, expecting that pass. Salah easily, now with 3 players static and on him, gave a pass that Led to a goal.




Tomiyasu-Pepe


Sounds familiar?

Trust even Liverpool fans to put him in his place alongside other fans.

Saliba made the list.


Saka only Arsenal player there.

If only Nelli was getting more playing time. Im sure he'd have made this list.



Pedri
Bellingham
Saka
Greenwood
Piccoli



Saliba making the list leaves one imagining his chances if only 2.0 trusted and wasnt a fraidy cat.

One mind is telling me, he may take over if Arteta gets the sack. I know I recommended Arteta here, and campaigned for him. But that's because I felt he was Guadiola2.0. I feel disappointed now. As an Arsenal fan I still pray that he gets it right. If my prayers aren't answered, he should be sacked biko.
Wait you mean the prayer still never click, abi na double i dey see? shocked

angry

He is actually Pep 2.0 without the moneybag. I would give him that.

Like, give Arteta 500m and he'd do something. But would still ruin things with overthinking. Plus it will be insulting that such was given him but not Wenger or Emery.

Emery would win EPL with 250-500m

Chai... I wish I was on Twitter but I'm not, I for follow the guy.

Arteta doesn't adjust his tactics while opponents are leading, this is one of the main reasons we've never won a game wen losing at half time under Arteta. It's painful and thank goodness someone have pointed to that


This your bolded funny sha grin grin grin
I burst out laff reading that. Which one be COYG go visit championship grin??

Una no go kee person for here with jabs grin
Shebi we say we dey feel pain abi?

Go twitter go see three generations of Arsenal fans. One even brought his grandson to the emirates to watch his own first game as a 4yr old. The boy don tok say he loves the club. Chai!! Imagine!

I wonder what he talks during halftime. Like does he point out the errors of his first half plan and how they should do it better(asif the opponent will present same tactic), or he gives new instructions or what cos i imagine how the dressing room looks like for the likes of Luiz, Auba and Laca(who have played under real legendary managers and tense UCL atmosphere before)


Kroenke recently said He gave Arteta the job cos he convinced him of what he plans for Arsenal. That one wey no sabi football. No wonder. The yeye sweet talk made the Man smile. Smh.


Yes na, IV to Championship.

grin grin

Igwe and Papilo scammed most Arsenal fans.


Viera has taken his preferred striker to Palace and he's already doing wonders. I recall he 'was linked' to the Emirates before. Watching Him build his own Arsenal. And if he finishes a point about Arteta, then thats enough to conclude who Viera really is as a coach!

ObaIgwe1:
Please go ahead. I have time today.

I have read about Xhaka's leadership qualities off field...But for me that leadership should also reflect on the field, like he does for his country. At Arsenal, I rarely see it.

I will like to read your opinion.
I won't even blame Xhaka for mot doing this qt Arsenal. I think its now obvious why. Everyone answers to the Coach and not the captain. The Captain is ceremonial at Arsenal during 90mins. In training, we see the leadership,but on the field of play, its everyone to himself.

Some captains tell some players where to be at some point during a setpiece or counter attack. Under Arteta, the player would rather stick to the restricted area coachy sets for him.


I watched Xhaka do this with the national team. Infact, he gave pep talk for their pks while the coach looked on. Can Arteta allow that?


I may overblow it, but i know this is one of the major reasons why.
