Christ said we should love our enemies. So why would we pray for them to die? Do you know how many people who see you us their own enemy? How would We feel if they prayed for us to die too?

Hahahaha...this is so funny. But she didn't force you to do those things,you did enjoy out if love so just endure.Maybe waiting till you get married will be a better option that way when you spend you'll know it's for the right person

This country na real wah.

This is very dangerous cause a lot of people are actually beginning to take this to be the right way to live. Cheap grace, it will only lead to destruction.

So this one cheated another of his money just to get married.he'll probably cheat 4 more to stay married if he was not caught.

She has a way Of reminding the ladies that you don't have to expose your assets to look beautiful and gorgeous.

With the level at which girls dey hurry this days it's sure hard to come by.

Maestro21:
If those things (lies by the way) harass you then the problem is not the things but you. The Bible says to those whose hearts are pure all things are pure. Emphasis on "to those whose hearts are pure".

From your explanation of that verse if a killer kills and you see it then it's pure to you, if one someone steals and you see it then it's pure to you. Even Our Lord Jesus Christ chased those who turned His Father's house to a den of thieves as He called them.
Bros please don't twist the scriptures just to condone sin. Call sin by its name that way you will flesh from it. Shalom

Same here o my brother. I was invited to their vigil 11-12 years ago I can't remember precisely.
I wore a long skirt and long sleeve top and covered my head with scaff Shebi I'm going to church now, on getting to the venue I had to check again if I'm not in a night club. The men had their heads fried and most sagged their trousers, the ladies nko? Hmmmmm! The sister at the entrance welcoming us wore a very tight leggings showing her camel toe from the front and her bottocks from the back, it was as if she's naacked! Hian! Come and see mini skirts, see through tops, very tight shape revealing trousers, as in glory of a woman on full display. Falling under anointing nko? The student pastor will blow Breeze into the microphone and you'll see them falling like it has been previously rehashed. You need to see the way I was avoided like a plague because of my dressing, if not that it was a vigil I would've have left during the service. Since then I borrowed myself sense and didn't near there again. If all these happened 12-13 years ago I wonder how the settings will be like nowadays!

Lol.. Now that was funny but on a more serious note, you are not far from the truth though. How do you now expect a guy to focus in such an environment with all those things harassing his eyes and senses? It's sad though cause this is the souls of men wasting away. The Bible says in Matthew 7:13&14 13Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Emphasis on the word 'FEW'. May God help us all.

I was at Christ embassy just once and I was not even a born again then and my spirit was totally against the things I saw. Infact I left before the service was over.

Stolen waters are sweet, bread eaten in secret is pleasant but he knows not that the dead are there and her guests is from the depths of hell.

... From the way things are going and from informations that keeps going around I hear that the disintegration of Nigeria is as certain as the rising of the sun but the main issue is with the south western Christians who seem not to know that there is a Strom coming. The changing of certain laws and introduction of others is just a simple way to keep them in check and make sure they are directly or indirectly made to conform to the Islamic agenda. Well when I first heard it too many years ago I shrugged it off as fairy tales but from what I am seeing going on in this country it's more true than I even imagined. The Islamic agenda is real people but it's not for today's Nigeria but a part of the divided Nigeria. May God deliver His people where ever they may be.

Totally disappointed

What's the need, Will it bring back the dead? This jungle justice thing is really getting out of hand.

Thank God... Finally we will rest from all the oil money noise. We'll need mostly just gas to power electric plants and do you know that anambra state has the largest gas reserve in Nigeria?

With reference to Section 16(2) of NHIS Act below and the Sixth Schedule Income Tax Table (2(b)) of PIT (Amendment) Act, 2011 - Tax exempt.

An employer under the Scheme shall cause to be deducted from an employee's
wages the negotiated amount of any contribution payable by the employee and shall not,
by reason of the employer's liability for any contribution (or penalty thereon) made under
this Act, reduce, whether directly or indirectly, the remuneration or allowances of the
employee in respect of whom the contribution is payable under this Act.

Thanks for sharing your professional opinion and best practice.

From what you stated and from what I understand, an amount is deducted from the employees wages and still the remuneration or allowances remains same.

Also consider this, the act was put into effect in 2011,when was the other act which allows pension and insurance to be used as tax rebate put into effect? If it is earlier than 2011 and no ammendment has been done on it then it's obvious HMO's will not qualify for tax rebates.

That's what happens when it's all you have to offer.

You are welcome Ifegadinma

Justification is by faith. When the question on whether one will make heaven brings fear, it's either one is not a christian or the accuser of the brethren is at work, if you are born again and Christ is your lord and savoiur, faith calls those things that be not as though they were, no matter how much you may have struggled to be righteous or not, your righteousness is as a filthy rag, our righteousness is the righteousness of Christ, so by faith you will make heaven, if any fault comes to mind purge yourself immediately and ask for mercy and grace. Heaven is by faith, for without faith it is impossible to please God.

Exactly, for without faith it is impossible to please God. Thank you for that.

But unfortunately a lot of people do not know this or some are even thought that faith is just when you read a few verses in the Bible and say to yourself I believe and always keep repeating that not knowing that true faith in itself is equally a gift. If not Christ won't diffentiate between a house built on sand and that which is built on the rock cause any true faith in anchored on Christ(rock of ages) also, Cause for anyone who claims to be a Christian the Strom must come and faith must be tested to ascertain and distinguish between real and fake and only those with real faith will hold on all thru without compromising or giving up.

hmmm,i have never seen a Bible named Catholic Bible with my two eyes, but I have the good news Bible which Catholics read, I've read most of the deutrocanonical books because I found them interesting but I've not read the two books of Esdras,thanks for the verse, but it is still worth while to know the history behind those books because I'm yet to fully understand why King James refused to acknowledge the books, even the Bibles that have them placed them in a different section so obviously they are controversial,i do not know if the verse was omitted in the "Catholic Bible" but I don't think it is because of the purgatory doctrine but rather because it was taught across all churches that before the coming of Christ,all souls were kept in sheoul till Jesus died and opened the gates of the Holy City (Matt 27:52-53) the issue of not studying the scriptures but believing all that comes out from the mouth of the leaders of the church is not only peculiar in Catholic but other denominations in Christiandom, I met a fellow who claimed to be a Bible expert,I asked what were the course of events that followed the death of Christ and he could not answer,as for the purgatory Ish, I think the bone of contention is that it is almost impossible to be without sin and not every one will be privileged to seek forgiveness Immediately before death such as the case of sudden death e.g accidents, even the Bible says a righteous man sins up to 7times a day, I'm not fully convinced on its existence neither I'm I bothered only the dead know the truth,but I won't castigate it in case it's true, I think the living should be more interested in making heaven by keeping God's commands instead of bothering themselves with secrets meant to be revealed only to the dead,shalom

I like the way you mentioned that you took out time to read some of the books removed or separated as the case maybe, I would not lie to you I have not read all myself. To a large extent you are sincere and so I'll ask you if you know what is Justication by faith without the deeds of the law? Our conscience is our biggest judge, you see eh when you ask yourself if you'll make heaven instantly your conscience gives you an answer(there is fear) why has many people ignored that fear and assume that hopefully I'll make it. Who assumes that he'll graduate from a school if he has not followed the due process put in place by the school authorities? But in Christianity we like to assume. My dear please for the sake of your eternal soul seek, knock and ask and the truth will be revealed to you. It does not come to those who just assume. I was born into a Christian home and I answered a Christian from birth but I will tell you that I've just really been a Christian less than 2years.

While discussing with a couple of roman catholics I've come to realise that the teaching of purgatory is more or less a part of their doctrine and alot of them sure believe in it stating scriptures in 1st corinthians 3: 15 and also 2 Maccabees 39-46(note that maccabees is included in some conventional bibles with the name apocrypha but is part of the catholic bible)
While i have tried to explain to the few I have met about the dangers in the belief of purgatory as it allows a man to be permissive while continuing to allow certain sins hoping to be cleansed in purgatory instead of crying out to God in all sincererity to deliver him/her which can be perfectly done thru justification.

Some do have rethinks while some are harder to convince cause the solution seems too easy to be true.well i have come accross in the apocrypha which as you all know is part of the Roman catholic bible and saw something that you all must see too.
After seeing this i realised why alot of catholics rarely read the bible and have full knowledge of the things in it cause there are alot of things they do not want you to know so as for you to believe whatever you are told.

Now lets look at the book of 2 Esdras chapter 7 from verse 75 -101(be aware that some apocrypha do not contain this verses as they have been knowingly removed)
Now see the state of ones soul when they are dead and then decide if purgatory is still real or not.
75I answered and said, “If I have found favor in your sight, O Lord, show this also to your servant: whether after death, as soon as everyone of us yields up the soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when you will renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?”

76He answered me and said, “I will show you that also, but do not include yourself with those who have shown scorn, or number yourself among those who are tormented. 77For you have a treasure of works stored up with the Most High, but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78Now concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone out from the Most High that a person shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79If it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, who have despised his law and hated those who fear God-80such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, always grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance so that they may live. 83The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will cross over into torments. 87The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High in whose presence they sinned while they were alive, and in whose presence they are to be judged in the last times.

88“Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour so that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought that was formed with them, so that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander and the punishment that awaits them. 94The third order, they see the witness that he who formed them bears concerning them, that throughout their life they kept the law with which they were entrusted. 95The fourth order, they understand the rest that they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory waiting for them in the last days. 96The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty that they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97The sixth order, when it is shown them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they press forward to see the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the previously mentioned are theare the ways of torment that those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter.”

100Then I answered and said, “Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?”

101He said to me, “They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations.”

Happy sunday people.Shalom

The next time someone tells you that in the old days the Isrealites wore skirts or gowns show them this

Leviticus 6:10 King James Bible
And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.

breech·es
ˈbriCHiz,ˈbrēCHiz/
noun
short trousers fastened just below the knee, now chiefly worn for riding a horse or as part of ceremonial dress.
informal
trousers.

Only an insincere person will say it's woman trouser and so it's different from men's trouser wherby the so called women's trouser is so tight that one can see all the curves from the back to the front. Knowing fully well that men being easily moved by what they see are lead into lustsful desires just by what they see and that exactly what the woman wants to achieve.

If there were to be anything like woman trousers then it should be designed in such a way that no curves will show as in serious baggy.

SO brother it's just bondage. Man is held under bondage by a lot of things in this life that why it's so hard for him to let go cause he feels the fabric of his life depends on it where as it actually does not cause we can live a most happy life by letting go of all those things that confuse and steal our joy that's why Christ made an example using the most basic need 'food', for man shall not live by bread alone but by every word of God . Take away pride from the heart of any man or woman and they'll easily do the right thing but who can do that except Christ.

The kind of looting that will be going on now that the president in incapacitated will be unprecedented.

Marriages of these days are so full of unfaithful people. I pray I have a faithful and sincere woman as a wife cause these things I see happening all around scares me.

Because of sex Terrible indeed
