Thank God 'they' didn't force me to swear an oath to their prophet before commenting in this thread.
@topic, their choice. Hundreds of people go missing daily in Nigeria and Christians /Muslims hardly care.

obatoro:
In the same passage, Jesus clarified that they were still subject to the seat of Moses, and were still under the law (Matthew 23:2, Galatians 4:4)
In the same passage, Jesus also commands to observe and do what the Pharisees say, so why is only one of Jesus’ commands relevant? (Matthew 23:3)
What is commanded under the newer, authoritative law? (1 Corinthians 9:14)
If Jesus’ command here was confirming tithing for the Church, then he was also confirming that food was still the only acceptable gift of the tithe. So why do you give money?
If 10% tithing is still commanded because of what Jesus said here, then you must obey the strict guidelines that go with it, because Jesus not only endorsed their tithing but also the Pharisees’ meticulousness as well.
Jesus also kept the Passover as well. So why not keep it too? (Matthew 26:17)

I can hardly make sense of what you posting. I suspect the anti-seed movement is recession inspired.

GodsMopol:
hmmmm

by the way

Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

The above verse relates to where Jesus was telling the Pharisee of their overemphasis on tithing and giving I guess

And Jesus is saying, there are better things to lay or place emphasis on.

People need to be born again

people need to know God intimately

people need to know how loving and caring God, is.

but, you have left those which you should place more emphasis on, but you lay more emphasis on that which is of least importance.

Now, don't get me wrong, the fact, Jesus said, some are weightier, does not mean, others should be trashed out, it only mean, we shouldn't put more emphasis on them, even though they are needed

if you interprete the above verse to mean tithe is less important what do you make of this part :

"and not leave the other undone" ?
Tithe is should not be left undone. You don't place something that's mandatory in a scale of preference sir.

The truth is that Buhari have not done anything to lessen d sufferings of d people. so in this case, anything at all is better than Buhari even a stone.

Atiku is nothing. Don't you get it?

Daniel2060:
Ehheeh!
So you really had the time to go through those??

Oya send your ACCANT NUMBER!

You got kidney problem Sir.

once upon a time in warri
There was a competition to determine who has the most severe mental challenge case.
lots of mad men came forward and couldn't give meaningful answers to questions meant to measure their level of madness
Then came this particular mad man and he was given all manner of tough algebra question but he answered them all correctly. While the panelists (you were among them) were still trying to figure out what manner of a mad man this one is, he broke the silence and told them
"make una dey ask me dey go . . . (while pointing to his skull) all the answer dey here for inside the kidney"


You have kidney problem sir cos Atiku is a scam and that doc proves it.
Spam the thread all u want sir. Atiku is a thief.

Atiku Abu-Fayose
Same poor people you stole from to remain politically 'relevent'.

See them . . .
Backward politically savvy region.

Daniel2060:
No offence intended...
After reading those documents,
I barely found where ATIKU' name was written ..

Check dis out . . .

Good to see Buhari playing same mud-slinging politics that kept him out of Aso Rock for almost two decades.
Atiku is a known thief and has no ideas to move us forward in any facet of our lives.

feelgoodInc:
you asked me if Peter was still fishing when he met Jesus and I showed you and you shifted the Goal post now let me explain the first verse was when Jesus was about to preach, the second was after Jesus died. so where is the repetition. Are you still confused.

In Acts, didn't the apostles focus solely on giving themselves continually to fasting and prayer while delegating other tasks ?

feelgoodInc:
you are the one whose confused here LUKE 5 vs 3 shows that Peter had a boat that was sustaining him

"quote" And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people out of the ship. After Jesus' died Peter was still running things.

JOHN 21 vs 3 "quote"Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. King James Version (KJV)

I hope you read this from your Bible and see who is confused. Daddy freeze has made me realize that some people are only Christians in name.

The book of Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John are focused on Jesus time one earth as experienced by his various disciples. As such it contains repetition of some accounts. Stop showing your confusion to the world Sir.

I wouldn't.
Freeze belongs to a category of attention seeking people who are determined to oppose the growth of the church.

God checks on people and not pastors. Too many babes in Christianity.

Spylord48:
I wonder why most churches that are fighting and,arguing with freeze about this tithe issues are mostly Pentecostal churches. Catholic, Anglicans, Orthodox churches all pay tithe but there is never an emphasis but freewill things. Most of these pastors open churches now and the only thing they are interested in tithes,sowing of seeds and offerings.
Nothing like salvation' again. We are very religious country yet the headquarters of all crimes are located in the same country Noise pollution everyday even at night all in the name of deliverance and night vigil.
Freeze should continue with the revolution, the thing is really paining and spoiling business for these yahoo pastors and upgraded native doctors

Mathew 23:23 relates to bold.
My Observation about some pentecostal churches is that they try not to violate God's word that admonishes us not to let the right hand know what charity the left hand is doing. People are bound to fill in the gaps with their worst imagination when they don't know what's happening.

feelgoodInc:
all the apostles I. the Bible had a job Peter was a fishermen, Paul was a tent mender which was a very good job by then. read 1st Thessalonians 4vs11.

so which work does your pastor do?
who does he pay tithe to, is it God?
the weekly returns goes to whose account, is it God's account?

Was peter still fishing after joining Jesus ? Your confusion na heavy duty.

Wrong move.
The poverty in this part of the world answers to work above any prayer. If all the farmers who farm start waiting for prayers hunger will increase.

add Winners Chapel(Living Faith) to you scam list.
They don't force you to pay tithe there. I have heard this countless times from Oyedepo and other pastors. That If you(a worshiper) thinks God work will stop as a result of you withholding your seeds, try witholding it.
Stop spreading falsehood guy.

Fraud everywhere!

Better this way than DaddyFrozenMind pouring his anger on pastors. Govt take tax from muslims & Christians and should meet needs common to them.

Organ harvest is lucrative and I am not surprised.

On Saturday November 25, 2017, the Daily Trust focussed on the illicit use of drugs among female Nigerian youths, including married women from the Northern part of the country. According to the report, the problem of drug abuse or drug addiction is more prevalent among girls and married women in cities in Kaduna and Kano in the Northwestern part of the country. And the same drug menace has also spread to the Northeastern part of the country especially to some cities in Borno and Adamawa.

Unlike before, the incidence of drug abuse was more prevalent among the males in the region. According to the report, out of every five males there can be two females that are hooked on drugs. But now the trend has changed. In other words, out of every five males, one can get up to four females that are drug addicts.

While some of these young ladies and married women may not be hooked up on hard drugs like cocaine, heroine and Indian hemp, popularly known as marijuana or weeds, they do indulge themselves in substance abuse like codeine syrup or other cough mixtures and other drugs that are on the prescription list which can be obtained from the normal chemist or pharmacy stores.

Some of them were reportedly led into the habit by their boyfriends or the daughters of some affluent individuals in the society who can afford to live and maintain such a lifestyle because of the resources at their disposal.

Unfortunately, the habits of these women are concealed from their parents/guardians or husbands. And sometimes these parents from the region may be living in self- denial because of the social stigma that is attached to drug addiction. According to the report, it is not uncommon to see some of these affected single ladies including married women check themselves into hotels/guest houses during the day to indulge themselves in substance abuse and return to their homes late in the night under the guise of paying visits to their friends. Some even patronise night clubs where they smoke all kinds of drugs including cigarettes before returning to their homes after putting on their hijabs or the veils covering their heads in line with their traditional Islamic attires. And this problem may be one of the reasons for the rise in the break-up of marriages in the Northern part of the country.

It is also not unlikely that some high degree of domestic violence with some fatal consequences may be linked to this problem. Recently, a housewife of Northern Origin who is married to the son of a former Chairman of People Democratic Party (PDP) reportedly stabbed her husband to death because of an alleged infidelity by her husband . Who knows, her uncontrolled anger may be linked to drug or substance abuse.

While trying not to preempt the decision of the court that is looking into the case, it is an area that both the Prosecuting and the Defence counsels may look into or explore. Definitely, the accused was not in her normal senses when the offence was allegedly committed by her.

In the same vein, the problem of substance abuse has also been reported among the female young undergraduates from the southern part of the country. The irony of it is that some of these young girls sometimes sneak out from their faith based private universities which some of these girls have sarcastically termed glorified secondary schools. The term derives from the measures put in place by authorities of the universities to restrict students’ movement to protect them (especially the female students) from mingling anyhow with the outside world when the schools are in session.

Yet some of these girls circumvent these security measures to enable them attend night – parties/clubs where they are free to indulge themselves in all kinds of substance abuse and end up sleeping with some strangers may be to catch “some fun” or to earn extra cash for themselves to augment their pocket – money from their parents/guardians.

Incidentally, some parents of these girls in their teenage years or early twenties may not know that their wards/children are no longer “Dad’s or “Mum’s pet”. Instead some of their “loving angels” are actually drug addicts, smokers or drunkards, who sometimes drink alcohol until they get tipsy, in the company of peers.

And who is to blame for this social malady? The blame should be shared by both the parents and the society. Sometimes, some parents abdicate their roles of good parenting to the nannies/house helps or the school authorities . They fail to heed the Biblical injunction which urges parents to “train the children in the paths in which he should go. When he/she is old he will not depart from it”. Instead they delegate this crucial role without adequate supervision to their hired baby sitters/nannies or house helps who sometimes maltreat these children to the point of death or sell them off to kidnappers/ ritualists to make money for themselves before they vanish into thin air. Sometimes, some of these parents are even afraid to correct or discipline their wards whenever they notice some traits of subtle rebellion or insubordination among them. Rather they prefer to report such children to their teachers or the school authorities for the proper action needed to correct their own children.

‘’Madness resides in the hearts of little children, it is the rod of correction that will drive it out”, says another Scripture; and so parents should take full responsibility for the shaping/moulding the characters of their children from the infancy to adolescent or teenage years. To do otherwise is like playing with the future of these children whose characters may be moulded by their friends or peer pressure groups later in their lives either for good or bad.

Also the society at large has its own share of blame in the prevalence of these social delinquents. Laws are in place to restrict sales of alcoholic drinks to children who are under 18 years of age talk less or consuming them in the open. Also, there is restriction or ban of smoking cigarettes in some public places or areas. But these laws are not enforced. This has prompted our youths (both male and females) to indulge themselves in freak parties in some public places like hotels while the authorities that should be concerned look on.

Idleness is another contributing factor. Some of our young school leavers and graduates are left to roam the streets years after they left school or the completion of their mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme. While it may be unthinkable or feasible for the government to provide white – collar jobs for these teeming youths that are being poured out into the labour market every year, government can provide the enabling environment to engage these youths in Agriculture (including Integrated/Mechanized farming, Mineral-mining sector and Tourism/Entertainment industry.

In addition, and in a way to complement government efforts at Federal, State and Local Government levels in ensuring that our youths are gainfully employed with a view to rescuing them from the captivity of drug addiction and other vices, our Faith – based organisations like Churches, para –Church organisations, Mosques and Non – Governmental Organisations (NGOs) can embark in the establishment of large – scale Farming/Agro – Allied and Manufacturing industries where large percentages of these youths that are roaming the streets can be employed.

The Religions leaders should not stop at teaching their Tenets of Faith to these youths, they should also encourage them to be good God – worshippers. In other words, they should take a step – further to use their structures to provide gainful employment to stem the temptation of their drift into foreign lands in search of green pastures where cruel fate sometimes awaits these youths.

Some Faith – based organisations in Nigeria have the have the wherewithal or the means/structures to make the pastures greener for these roaming youths, where they can lie down to drink and eat to satisfy their thirst and hunger and thus refreshing their souls instead of being sold into modern – day slavery in Libya and Saudi Arabia or forced prostitution in Europe. In extreme cases, we have shared stories of how some of these Nigerian adventurous youths end up on the slaughter slabs of some alleged cruel Chinese businessman who butchered them to harvest their internal vital organs for sale to foreign hospitals who need them for their patients.
The remedy is for the parents, the government, the school authorities, the religious organisations, NGOs, and other stakeholders to team up in a holistic way to rescue our youths from the bondage of drug abuse. And thus save our present and future generations. *Gbemiga Olakunle , JP is General Secretary, National Prayer Movement. He can be reached at
