The Word of God is a lamp to my feet,a light to my path alway.
What do you want me to be quoting?Shakespeare,Mandela or fellowman like me,who have their own opinions influenced by their environment?
Imagine somebody saying the word of God is for babies...Nonsense

menxer:
You search (quote) scriptures thinking therein lies your salvation, God does not fit into any man's definition for he/it is manifesting as all of us.
I maintain my position the more you live in love the closer to Light-side of God and the more you live in fear the closer to the Dark-side of God you are. i don't expect you to understand.

i am for the experience of God, the word of God is for babies, you make your choice.

I bless you because you are an aspect of God manifesting love but confined by fear based theology of punishment by God.

callJesu:
That should be none of your business. Your personal encounter with the Christ is what matters and not a canonical or conviction from a group of religious fellow. Please valentine is a day celebrated of evil and it doesn't show love of Christ in anyway. Stop confusing men

Are you sure you understand what I wrote?
I assume you don't.

I'm not against strategy (if sanctioned by God)but itz unwise to leave substance to chase shadows,if Valentine was showing the love of Christ,why can't those who cannonized him not point people to the true source?Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith.There's no greater love than what was demonstrated by Jesus.

callJesu:
A newly program created into some church events now.Yet it's a worldly event that found no connection with the scriptures. Some other ones does not even fall on a Sunday like this but one way they incorporate it into their services claiming they want to USE IT AS A MEANS TO REAP SOULS FOR CHRIST, His standard remains.... Apostle Paul alone did not ask us to fix a date to Celebrate love how much more Christ. Love is not an event, it should be a lifestyle that should be celebrated all days. Again, don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you.

Nothing wey I no go hear.Maybe one day na St.APC (change)day people go dey celebrate for church.

Now Valentine is substitute for Love?
All the love depicted in the bible is not enough for heaven-bound believers.
Summary,
Celebrate True Love(1 John 4 verse 8 ),not Val.
Show love specially always,not on feb.14 alone.
He who does not have God,does not have love and can not give true love.
Finally,1Cor.13 tells a little about Love.
JESUS IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF LOVE

Was he against Godly love?
Go and read your bible about God's stance about fornication.
Mind you,it is the knowledge of the holy that is understanding-Prov.9:10b
Without the pastor placing a curse,fornicators are courting Bodily and Spiritual destruction.
Can't type much but 1Cor.6:18-20 and 1Cor.3:17
Now,1Cor.3:18 says:Let No man deceive himself.If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world,let him become a f.ool ,that he may be wise

menxer:
This goes to show how shallow some people's (pastors) spiritual understanding is.

Well, the curse is meant for his church members; [email][/email]but a curse that is cause-less shall not come.

Blessed is the one who is allied on the part of love and not burdened with fear, for its either you live in love or in fear.

God is Love and we are the manifestors of that love in all its multifacetedness.

missjahiniekpe:
The verse didn't say you will not make heaven,.. How is it linked to what i said?

Kindly READ MATTHEW 5:48 and forget about me for the moment.
Going To Heaven is a SERIOUS Business.It Took The Life Of The Son Of God to redeem us and There's Power for Holiness(John 1:12) available for every true child of God.
God Never intended you to be self-righteous neither was he joking with Matt.5:48.

"And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."-Rev.21:27

Without HOLINESS No MAN(Be it Pastor,Grammarian,entertainer,whoever)Shall see the Lord-Heb.12:14.
Instead of you to ask for grace to please God you are trying to twist the Truth.

There's nothing intelligent about being an atheist.I have always known them to BE FOOLS

Instead of hating,why not ignore the thread?
Anyways,na mango or orange wey get fruit na hin small children dey stone.
Fayose may God continue to protect you. The God that disgraced those who wanted to disgrace you out of office,will not leave nor forsake you.

God bless you

That was how one man was ranting on a bus I joined many years ago.Adeboye did this,Adeboye did that,Bla bla bla.
Though at the time I had stopped going to Church,I asked him a question that silenced him till I disembarked from the bus.
I said,in pidgin,Mr man you dey forbid to be a man of GOD?No be as dem born am,dem born you?Abi God dey forbid to use you?

Dolarman:
Please tell us how your men God have influence the lives of an average Nigerian.... Only the high and mighty have access to them once their ministry is Large, afterall the same poor men they denial access made them.... Bunch of hypocrites.... Iranu

So you think everyone who goes to church are there to see or meet with the Men of God?
They may not be doing enough because they are humans but only a naive person will say the average man isn't influenced(to use your word).If not for the churches I wonder what Nigeria will be like.
Just because many of them don't come to the TV like your celebs,you think they aren't doing anything.PASTORS ARE NOT POLITICIANS OR SHOWBIZ GUYS.
Go to the prisons,rehabs,villages ,schools and make enquiries instead of listening to SAHARA REPORTERS

Bros leave them.Maybe they think people don't know what they are doing.

knightsfalcon:
I really am short of words.... my friend don't let the anger of God come upon you,I am not a very religious person,but I am not blind at heart not to feel the presence of my God,neither am I crippled physically not to maximally interact with the creations of God.... My God exists,and so do true prophets(they may not be much in number),when ever you mention such things dont you dare mention my fathers Oyedepo,Kumuyi and Adeboye..... oyedepo built his universities without a dime from the church,go out there and make research before posting,.. now you ask for miracles live on television,if that really happens,what next would you ask for? that the spirit of God should come and dance in front of the camera for your entertainment...
I know the importance of thithes it has worked for me,and I know the importance of offering because I am filled intellectually,finantially and spiritually....
you beliefs are yours,also,mine are mine and theirs are theirs do not try to dissuade people from the righteous path or else the Lord of host visit you like he did Sodom and gomorra.... Search your heart you know deep down He exists

damocool:
God bless you richly bro, don't really know why these guys are so concerned about us paying offerings and tithes, it's our money and not theirs...

Amen...

God bless you

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm:14:1

Abeg leave them.They love to see Men of God poor.But their Senators ,celebs,every other person deserve good life except pastors

Funny most times the gullible ones think others gullible.
Unfortunately,I never see many posts on Salvation of Souls.Pple can write an epistle on how people "waste"N500,N50, even N10 weekly in churches.But never see the Stupidity in buying injurious liquors and beer,patronizing prostitutes and paying high to sleep with prostitutes.
If people deem wasting their monies going for parties,shows etc,enjoyment.Leave us the gullible ones to waste it on those we call the men of God.Afterall people dey play Baba ijebu and dem no complain.
Btw signs,wonders,miracles and prophesies are usually for non-believers.

The best post I have read so far.

flamingREED:
Let me use this opportunity to worship Him that saved me from masturbation, lying, stealing, watching porn, abusing others and committing many sins:

His name is Jesus.
I know He lives and loves me more than any pained critic.

1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.


2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.


3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail.


4 O generous love! that he who smote
in Man, for man, the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo;


4 And in the garden secretly,
and on the Cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.


5 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.

A case of give a dog a bad name in order to have it hanged.Why only in those states?Why on MTN Masts alone?
I don't reside in those states but I listened online during the yuletide.Abi na MTN Mast do that one again?
Well we learn everyday sha

Oga take am easy.All the same,the only proof to Lai's claims is to do what Fayose suggested.Who in his right senses will stake his life because Lai said something?
Even Oyibo wey come needed heavily armed escorts.Lai Mohamed is known for propaganda,not the truth

razid:
Few days ago, Buhari spoke with the BBC on the progress of the war. They didn't call it propaganda, rather, they sent one of their reporters to come and verify. That is what I think those who are criticizing the government should do. They should leave the comfort of their homes and go to the North East to verify the veracity of the government claim.

Lai Mohammed went there, he gave an assessment of what he saw, they called it propaganda. On Tuesday last week, Dec 22nd to be precise, an AIT reporter that was attached to the Nigerian Military was a guest of Gbenga Aruleba's Focus Nigeria on AIT. What she said was not different from what Lai Mohammed said.

I know there are many Nigerian journalists out there with the military but the lazy ones are the loudest. They feel comfortable concocting lies and posting it online. And when they are called to verify their lies otherwise packaged as news reports, they shout media clampdown. They have their allies in some jobless and hurting emergency activists that have lost their livelihood since May 29. Anybody that is disputing what is happening in the North East should travel to the place and see things for him/herself. Afterall, seeing is believing.

spako4:
Mediocrity, round peg in a square hole.
I weep for Ekiti, the fountain of knowledge.

Just because itz FAYOSE?If itz Obama or Buhari browsing in an e-library,will you make same statement?FYI,he's not a mediocre.

Yea I don't expect you to understand that.In case you missed it,JESUS IS GOD!!
It'll be futile to explain to you.Tell those teaching you the bible to read well and if they are sincere,they'll explain 1 Timothy 3:16 to you.

Terye:
Now it's getting a little confusing. His your own Jesus (Peace be upon him) God or son of God? If u claim he is God, pls show me a single unambiguous statement in the Bible that Jesus claim to be God.
If you claim he is the s Yalid Walam Yulad.. God begets not nor was he begotten.. If u still don't see my point. The I will just keep quiet.. May Allah guide you to the Siratal Mustaqeem (Right path). SALAM ALAYKUM

Honestly,I don't understand what you are saying.
I insist No Muslim believes in Jesus.Stop deceiving yourselves.If you believe someone,You'll believe his "claims"
JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!! I BELIEVE HE IS GOD...Thatz a snippet of the bible you think you know.

Terye:
God sent his son?? if I get you right, Your God begot?? .. pls kindly check the new revised standardhad been UNCEREMONIO, Psalm 2 vs 7 David son of God, Luke 3 vs 38 Adam son of God and so on like that.

When Jesus said father, he didn't mean Biological father, its funny how we translate the bible this way.. Coming from a person like Jesus (PBUH), you should know he refers to spiritual father..

And if he did sent him to die (as funny as it sounds), why then did Jesus pray to him on the cross since he knew quiet alright that he was sent to die??

See, am not here to convince you to be a Muslim, but stop judging the 1.sumtin billion other Muslims based on what some sects are doing.. Muslims all around the world released statements totally condemning there actions. I mean we Muslims never said such when KKK was still around.. Israelites keep killing Muslims in Gaza and nothing of such is said.. Pls, Islam means peace, not what the media shows.

Peace be unto you to the ultimate meaning of peace ..

People spending time in unprofitable ventures.
BOOK OF ENOCH KOR BOOK OF METHUSELA NI

There is no need for the tutorial.Christians believe that God Sent His Son,Jesus,to save the world.That Jesus is the Way,the Truth and Life and No one comes to the Father,God,but by JESUS
-JOHN 14:6.
If you need tutorial on Islam from the koran,not history books or internet, let me know.

Terye:
Seems you need a tutorial bout what Islam his all bout.

see, stop judging the religion based on what you see in the news every day.. there are approximately 1.7billion Muslims in the world with 1 out of 4 individual on earth been a Muslim...

On the issue of Jesus Christ (May the blessings and salutation of Allah be showered on his noble soul). See, it is compulsory for all Muslims to believe that Jesus (PBUH), as well as Moses(PBUH), Lut (PBUH), Isaac (PBUH), John (PBUH) ..... to the last and final of the which is Muhammed (SAW) are all messengers of Allah. Allah need not come to this world in form of human like u guys claim, for when he decree sumtin, he just said to it, Be- and it is..

On the issue of Terrorism, See, if you want to assume, base ur assumptions on a very solid source, I will recommend the Glorious Quran, a book with no contradiction. The Quran clearly frown and warns against falling into extremism, even the hadith's. it said those that fall into extremism are doomed. The Quran also said that if you save a single soul, its as if you save the whole humanity, and if you take a single soul, its as if u killed the whole humanity .. that is tells you the gravity of the offence in the sight of Allah. I mean, prophet Muhammad (SAW) even warned against even burning an ant. A man placed a goat on his side wanting to slaughter it, he left it on its side and started sharpening the knife, rosullulah said to him, 'do you wish to kill it twice?'.. he also told us of a Lady going to hell cus of a kitten she fail to feed. Even during war, he warned against demolition of churches, houses, temples e..t.c. , against killing those that surrendered, disfiguring of the dead Subhanalah!!!!, killing of animals (except for food), even felling of trees!! subhanalah!! a lover of environment, and so on like that.. May Allah shower his blessing upon his noble soul.

Islam teaches us to be loving towards our neighbors , I mean, wife of Abu Talib who usually dump refuse on prophet Muhammads door, the day she doesn't, the prophet went to see if she was OK.. subhanalah.. the religion of peace!!!!!!!

To those that fell into extremism, me Allah guide the to the right part..

Peace be unto you to the ultimate meaning of peace..

I hear they sell twitter accounts.Why not sell it ma to internet marketers.

goodlifehyd:
Islam religion of PEACE, this are the real Muslims not those brainwashed political animals

People like you are the problems facing nigeria, na today Didn't pastor king accept Jesus? Why did he burn his church members or is today the first time we hearing of pastors and prophets doing trash

Incase you don't know, you can never be a Muslim without believing in Jesus

Stop deceiving yourself,friend.
No one believes in Jesus and is a muslim.
Which Muslim believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
Read 1John 2:22
"Who is a Liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?He is ANTICHRIST,that denieth the Father and the Son"
You may read verse 23 also.

Amusaopeyemi:
Still can't believe he is 45years old.
Men hardly lie about their age, we women need to cultivate that habit too.

Sis.,it's not really a gender thing.Or how do you explain the age of our guys in age grade competitions?

GogetterMD:
Now that help is minimal and we need as many hands as possible to put an end to this scourge once and forall,
P.S. before you start shouting and screaming Arab nations, don't forget that Isreal is also an Arab nation

Israel an arab nation?
What help are they talking about,when they can not even help themselves?
If half nigerian population(including the false impression that northerners are moslems)are considered muslims,that makes nigeria a muslim nation?

Paul reminded Timothy of a time like this,in 2Timothy 3.
He told him of
"lovers of pleasures than lovers of God",
"dispisers of things that are good",
"men of corrupt minds,reprobate concerning the faith",
"having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof"
He went on to say the following,
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

And that from a child thou hast known the holy
scriptures, which is able to make you wise...

Summary,Avoid and turn away from whoever has a form of godliness but denying the power.The grace of God teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lust(Titus 2:11)

stillchris:
dey there dey form bad guy. na when witches and wizards don use you share party rice finish, nobody go force am from your mouth sey jesus is lord

No mind am

There's no need for long stories.
Revelation 21:27 Says "And there shall in no wise enter into it ANYTHING THAT DEFILES, NEITHER WHATEVER WORKS ABOMINATION,OR MAKES A LIE:but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life."
As many as are led by the Spirit,they are the sons of God.
No serious child of God considers porn,smoking,masturbation,polygamy and many, if not all,of the things mentioned by the OP as an issue because even unbelievers know.

Without HOLINESS No Man Shall See The Lord.
Use not liberty for the occasion of the flesh alone.
The is what the bible calls the PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY.
Even liberty sef get law.

missjahiniekpe:
Our problem as christians is that we keep classifying sin.... But am here to tell you that sin is a nature we inherited from Adam, by one man sin entered the world and Jesus christ, our saviour paid for our sins once and for all... What am saying is, you will not make heaven because you are sinless, that's self justification. Even God knows that man cannot be sinless which is why Jesus came, so if you want to please the father or make Heaven, believe in the price Jesus paid... And whosoever beliveth in Him shall be saved and have eternal life, that verse didn't say and whosoever is sinless shall be saved.... Its time to stop seeing sin as an individual thing.

hmmn,so why Matthew 5:48?

derecho:
Please guys letz not allow it degenerate to tribal contest.
I expect to see more fora by next week.Seun has the right to ban anybody on his platform.
Unfortunately,I think this has done more harm than Good.This will draw the undecided to give another look at the issue.Many will be challenged by the ARROGANCE "The Founder of Nairaland".BTW,how much does it cost to own a forum?

@OP, seun only sent a message.He has not beaten anyone.Those interested in the rule will adhere to it,those who see it as a challenge will react.
Look at it from another angle,What will Seun's endorsement of Biafra do?Seun, though owns nairaland,is no different from a super moderator.He is not an opinion molder.
Seun is only doing his work,howbeit,within his space.
