hmmn, from your argument I deduce you have access to the Bible but what I don't know is if you are a believer; if you are, have you received the holy spirit?
JOHN 14:26
but the advocate, the holy spirit whom the father will send in my name will TEACH you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

See, the Bible needs to be read in company of the holy spirit. It's not like the random literature text. Every sentence in it has deep meaning that only the holy spirit can explain.

That been said, MATTHEW10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the BODY but cannot kill the SOUL. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both SOUL and BODY

LUKE16:22
The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, "father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire "

The above scripture is talking about people who were already dead on earth and whose bodies we're buried by their loved one's on earth. Ofcourse we know Abraham died and was buried on earth. yet there was his soul, in heaven and Lazarus with him and also the rich man(though in hell). But the point is that their soul existed after the body died.

Dezingo:
You are correct.
You know some people just post things on social media just to gain unnecessary attention.

DTBCLICKS:
exactly u just spoke ma mind

Bossontop:

Wats d name of dis farm tool abeg??

maddock:
Seriously?.... You are really an idiot to say something like that and you are adding scriptures to justify your nonsense. Elo case is a case of prayers that can change circumstances. People were praying for her all over the world be it members of their church, tithe paying and non tithe paying good hearted people and not demonic minded people like you.

So what would have given you joy is if her dismembered body were to be found instead after being used for rituals? Gods judgement await you either in this world or the world to come.

tiwiex:
I thought I was the only one that just heard about this yesterday night. I even assumed it was all over social media for sometime. When I saw Elo has been found on Instagram yesterday, I was like"who is Elo? " so many questions. As someone mentioned in the thread, a sane society should ask questions. Too many lose ends. What is the name of the orphanage? Who went there and saw Elo? Anyway, I assume police is doing the needful investigation. Now, we all want to know what happened so we can work on our security.

HungerBAD:
Is this true?this is a strange story.

That a straight man has been hitting the wrong target for 4 years? I mean, no pre-intimacy? How can a man not know the difference between kulikuli and dankuwa?

Heavensbest1:
I bless the good Lord that she has been found. May GOD JEHOVAH OVERDO'S NAME BE HIGHLY EXALTED FOREVER MORE.

And for the doubting Thomases who felt it was all acted up, may you all not be victims of evil circumstances before you can appreciate the power of God's miracles In human lives.

The little girls needs good care to me. She looks different from the last picture they posted of her missing.

I believe no parents wants their child to suffer for a while just for cheap publicity, no matter what.

I have heard of an adult missing in Lagos and found miraculously in kotonue (bene) bother. Will you guys say that was drama too?

Una for believe the story if na the ENEMY of the child peme for benin shei?

Still in a dancing mood. �����Thanking God for her family.

If you know what faith can do...

bigocean:
GOD IS SPIRIT
John4:24(kjv) :- God is a spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

MAN LOST DOMINION OVER THE WORLD
2corinthians4:4(NLT) :- Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who dont believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the goodnews that is shinning upon them. They dont understand the message we preach about the glory of christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

ADAM-SATAN-SIN-DEATH
Romans5:12(NLV) :- when adam sinned, sin entered the world. Sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.

(NIV) :- Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.

Martinez19:
You are just all about convenience. Let's agree that Jesus was talking to Peter and it applies to believers(which it does even though they don't commit sin if the don't say that prayer). It still doesn't mean that faith, if applied, fails. Faith failing means you begin to disbelief. Suppose one prays for his faith not to fail after praying for faith healing, why should he go for plan B? Is prayer that useless? According to the bible, faith for healing without medicine can't fail.

Let's look at James 5:14-15, it clearly shows that you don't need medicine to be healed. I ask, if your son happens to be sick, will you practice James 5:14-15? I know you won't because you are ignorant and/or dishonest. Good day and don't mention me again.

lol, animals dont have any soul. According to GEN1:26
Then God said, "let us make mankind in our IMAGE, in our LIKENESS, so that they may RULE over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the CREATURES that move along the ground"
So, man was actually made in the "IMAGE and LIKENESS" of God and we know God is SPIRIT.

The main purpose of creating man was to take DOMINION over everyother thing on earth(more like a caretaker). Unfortunately man lost his DOMINION over satan on earth when he obeyed satan against God's [/b]instruction not to eat the fruit from a certain tree.
This disobedience made man a slave to satan but God loved man so much he didnt want to destroy him. Sin had come into the world, for satan now holds the DOMINION which was first given to man over the earth. Sin(satan) was now the master of man. Man was not worthy to be in the presence of God anymore, he was driven out of the garden where God's presence had been with him. [b]God became more interested in the soul(spirit) of man, Flesh became IMMORTAL.
Flesh was not worthy to be in God's presence. For this, flesh cannot live forever it has to give way for the soul(spirit) to return to its maker; and when it does return it shall stand in judgement to confirm it didn't work in accordance to the direction of the flesh.

From the pictures, the man gives more attention to his daughter...
In future, when the boy starts doting on his mother, the man shouldn't complain.

Every day one story to the other from dis TSTV guys, if you guys are not ready to commence make una allow us rest abeg.

gmercy713:
Read Luke 2:36.

Do we have prophetess as a man?

bigocean:
Ok, my using TRADE with PREACHING was not literal though, it was an attempt to explain PRIORITY. That is, what he took most important. You will agree with me that most people take their various businesses more important than doing God's work. Even paul who was identified as a tent maker did not make it his PRIORITY rather he kept moving from city to city PREACHING. Most of the the other disciples were also fishermen(they all had somthing doing ofcourse)

MEETING THE CREATOR?
The bible recorded that "It is appointed unto man to die once and after that is judgement"
Life does not end on earth. The flesh might die on earth but the soul(spirit being of man) would return to God for judgement after which the saved soul shall be with God(the creator). No wonder apostle paul said in 2timothy4:7-8 "I have fought a good fight, i have finished my course, i have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a "CROWN" of righteousness, which the lord, the righteous judge shall give me at that day: and not to me only but unto them that love him.
In the above scripture, paul was expecting a "CROWN" which meant going to be with God(the creator). That is the only crown promised every believer.
Again, while stephen was about to be stoned, he looked up and saw the throne of God with Jesus standing by the right hand of God. This revelation was a confirmation that he was being welcomed to heaven to be with God(the creator)

John14:2-4 Jesus said to his disciples "MY FATHERS HOUSE HAS MANY MANSIONS, HE WAS GOING THERE TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR THEM AND IF HE GOES AND PREPARE A PLACE FOR THEM, HE WILL COME BACK AND TAKE THEM TO BE WITH HIM"

Ofcourse, we also know "My fathers house" meant heaven and "To be with him" equally means being with God(the creator)

Ok, 1st let me take you back to the example i made with the businessman in a competitive market, now stephens own "TRADE" was "PREACHING" and because of the GRACE he had, he was filled with scriptural wisdom & knowledge which meant he excelled in his trade(preaching)

Secondly, yes GRACE is the unmerited FAVOUR of God. I want you to know that the greatest loss of any believer on earth is not the physical death here but not meeting the creator.
Acts7:55 said stephen looked up into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing on the right hand of God(that was still grace at work) and if you read down you will notice that stephen was in agreement, he wanted to be with the father in heaven. He had already seen where he was going. Verses59-60 said he called upon God saying Lord Jesus receive my spirit(That was all that mattered to him in his trade). He even prayed that God should not count this sin against his afflictors. KJV said after he said that, he fell ASLEEP(the world would say died). No, he didn't die, he FELL ASLEEP and woke up at the masters side in heaven. That was his whole desire in life as a PREACHER and GRACE did not fail him.

Thirdly, 2corinth12:7-9 paul besought God 3 times for the thorn in his flesh to be removed but God said unto him "my GRACE is sufficient for thee: for my strenght is made perfect in weakness".
So, GRACE is both strenght to endure challenges and also absolute victory over challenges as would best benefit the purpose of your faith in God.
