Warning to you all.

nora544:
Nigerian Jetflying Pastors should read this, that shows that they are in churchbusiness and fake christians.

Dem dey hear?

frank317:
God accepts everything

Seriously?

Well, I don't see anything wrong or sinful with what happened, my dear.

I have publicly praised my sisters and women right from the pulpit. Leave God to judge people!

My dear, don't let anyone make you feel guilty .

Don't allow the negative people deprive you of the value and self esteem occasioned by the guy's gestures.

This is one of those verses i dont seem to understand.

KJV sometimes dey confuse me.

Indeed, men are making serious merchandise of the Gospel of Christ.

The emphasis on money and prosperity is disturbing.

Finally, the enlightened ones are increasing daily.

I have always questioned these gimmicks and sweet talks deployed by most of these pastors.

Like you rightly said, it's always being GIVE, GIVE, and GIVE!!!!!

Subtle threats are hurled when people are reluctant. Curses are hurled when the givers become suspicious.

Our pastors throttle the globe in expensive suits and private jets, while the average worshipper wallows in lack, misery and woe.

We'll keep questioning them. We will refuse to cooperate with greed and avarice. We must demand a balanced prosperity Gospel where leaders and followers all benefit.

Our eyes are getting open more and more....

This is the era of enlightenment. No more dulling.

Is Christianity sword. If you are of the spirit not the flash it's work perfectly on unsee spirit, evil spirit. There are alot of spiritual accidents which are not cause by human error but by evil spirit, if u are truly in Christ, u believe the bible is the words of GOD and u are not of the flesh. Your bible is yo sword for physical and spiritual evil spirit.

Pls communicate more properly next time. I'm still struggling with what you wrote above.

Nope. You can worship Him anyday.

Tithe in Nigerian churches… .just like Tax.... increases inequality gap. It doesn't bridge the hell-like hole of inequitable distribution of income and wealth.

The differences between Tithe and Tax in Nigeria are:

1. One is paid forcefully, and sometimes with great avoidance and occasional tantrums while the other is paid willing and with low rate of default, with no resistance .

2. One is collected with an assurance of tangible and logical benefits in form of free schools, good roads, stable electricity, reduced poverty etc. While the other is collected with a miraculous promise of reward and illogical benefits by people who don't construct roads, build free schools, generate public electricity and manage the economy. It's ironical that the proceeds of Tithe are more than the proceeds of Tax as some willingly pay 30%… 50% even 70% instead of the normal 10%.

Remember: no blueprint of what the money will be used for. Yet, the proceeds come in willingly.

3. No Tithe exemption but there is Tax exemption. You being a student doesn't mean you wont pay "direct tithe" ...you just have to pay it from your allowances or pocket money.... but students don't pay "direct tax" (take that for the sake of simplicity. Don't let us go deep into economics of tax). I once paid tithe in the university as a poor student.

4. Tithe collectors and beneficiaries are most times exempted from paying tax while tithe payers still pay taxes. Double taxation from some people and double "exemption" from some people.

You don't need to think too much in understanding why more than 80% of wealth in Nigeria is greatly enjoyed by less than 20% of Nigerians. The tithe you pay is jealously enjoyed by some few persons and their cronies while the taxes you pay are also being embezzled by some microscopic few and their goons.

Both ways, you are. bleeped. You don't like your financial and economic state. You don't like the tax eaters. Yet the tithe eaters pacify you to keep your cool. Not to sin in protestation. They know you might resist them too if you protest against the tax eaters. Both criminals are working against you. They will always numb your intellect in seeing the bigger picture.

No matter the solace and assurance of good life and wealth you get from your tithe eaters, your welfare and wellbeing still heavily depend on your tax eaters. You are doomed.

You or your children don't go to the schools, hospitals, transport bought by your tithe eaters, you depend on the tax eaters. You don't protest marginalization, irresponsibility, unaccountability and careless abandonment by your tithe eaters, where most of your income perish, why should you protest your tax eaters ? too bad, you evade tax but never default in paying tithes. Direct your confusion to appropriate quarters.

I have explained two theories before in respect of tithe.

1. Stakeholder theory
2. Shareholders theory

Number one says that the company is responsible for some social responsibilities in form of charity and scholarships etc and the managers of the company should use part of the companies' profits for that before distributing the remainder to the shareholders as dividends.

This is based on the assumption that the shareholders -individually- will not spend their dividends on social responsibilities.

Your pastors and government are your managers who are not using your moneys the way you will use them. They are conflicting your interest.

Shareholders theory says that all the business profit should be distributed to shareholders as dividend and allow them to use the money for charity or wherever if they want. The business of the business is to make profit.

If you can do what your pastors and government can do for you by yourself, I think you should do it.

You know it in your mind that you get more benefits from the government than from your church. Yet, you evade taxes and willingly pay tithes. You know you can protest bad government regime but you cannot protest your evil pastors.

Make a wise choice. I have said my own.

Thanks for the exposition. I appreciate.

I have become smarter these days. I no longer part with my money without some good reasons.

No amount of subtle threats, emotionalism, sweet talks, indirect swindling, etc, can make me let go of my hard earned cash just like that.

Bro, the brainwashing don too much.

Horrible. Islam.

Look at the road self. .....

Africa. ....Miserable continent.

Yeah.

But corruption, tribalism, insurgency, and all other social vices are our thing. ....

You try!

All hail Jesus, the King of Kings.

Let angels prostrate fall. ...

I bow before You.

Maximum 60minutes.

U can't transfer what you've learned in years to a new couple in a day. It's about the couple.

I attended one lengthy one like that shaaaa. It was boring. Shouldn't have been.

Dotwillis1:
And i also wonder if not goin to church on sunday is a sin

It can't be sin. Christianity is more about building a love relationship with God than avoiding sin.

I'm typing from the office now. I'm on morning duty.

Which day we worship God is immaterial, and no one, I repeat no one, will make it to hell or Heaven because of this.

The only criteria Christ gave wa that we should worship God in Spirit and truth.

The topic reminds me once again the glorious and solemn defense of the Gospel by Apostle Paul, before Felix and Agrippa. Acts 26.

Thanks for sharing.

U can't finish thanking God when you the revelation about these 10 matters of utmost importance.

Indeed we are blessed beyond reproach. Our justification was done and finished at Calvary.

I knew I would have been on a better spiritual pedestal had these truths were thoroughly dealt with when I was a new convert.

It took me more than a decade to grasp the majestic and liberating truths of righteousness, justification and sanctification.

God bless you sir.

Shalom.

For a lot of reasons.

Fear, protection, deceit, religion, etc.

And then sometimes these Bibles are never opened in years. They are allowed to accumulate dusts and grow worn out.

Has anyone seen a neat/new one amongst those displayed?

Recently, I cautioned one driver against abusing the Bible. He's was as old and dirty as a rag.

Well, I won't join a taxi because the Bible is displayed conspicuously on its dashboard. I don grow!!!!!!!

Princecalm:
I wonder where Ronaldo would have been if he started his career in laliga.

Never mind. He didn't.

I did. At least twice. Once to my SS3 classmate. Another to an SS1 babe. My brother was the DHL man between the two us. The deal no worries out.

To make matters worse, my dad saw and read one of the replies she sent to me through my brother. My dad read it out before my mother and siblings. It was a terrible day.

Bro, man don grow! Time flies. Those experiences are sacred.

queensley55:
You can not enter the kingdom of God if not baptized,even Jesus was baptized so its that crucial.

This isn't scriptural. Christ was actually baptised to fulfil all righteousness.

Every new convert should be encouraged to get baptised. But if it didn't happen till the convert dies, he's headed for Heaven.

Baptism isn't a criteria for entering God's Kingdom. It's just a Kingdom rite. Shalom

We have long waited for this day.

Messi has indeed broken this Telmo Zarra's long standing record.

I'm indeed grateful to God to have witnessed thisin my lifetime.
