Albaghdadi thanks so much for this wonderful explanation!!!!!

I clearly understand you

Most of this people attacking you are not of God.

Jesus is the biggest brand name ever in all creation!!!

The Christmas season is the most lucrative season in the world. More people travel, shop within this season than any other season. Even so much more than Chinese new year, or other festivities.



Jesus is King!!!!! The greatest!!!!!
The name above all names!!!!!

My own is why should he be making this kind of statement. And in addition he is a pastor.
Politicians will be fanning embers of hatred, division and war.
Look at the kind of bad blood this is generating.

It is not good at all.
As a country, we should be promoting what will unite us and not divide us.


It is very very very bad.
We have not even done 2019 election and he is now talking of 2023

Let us live one day at a time if you are a true Christian as Christ taught us.

It is very pathetic

tamethem:
Shift the date to June not even April that your mum wants. Intentionally do that.

Stand like a man now and show that you are the decision maker.

If you don't start now ,you will never be able to make decisions she will honour in your marriage.

If she decides to leave. Let her go.

You may think you will never love any other like her but its a lie, Its because you have never tried loving another.

and most of the time the next one that comes will be 100x better. Happened to me. My babe then called off our relationship. It was painful, but the next woman that came around was 100x better in looks, character, love and respect for me.

Fate is warning that guy

Fate is trying to warn you, but you can't understand
You are soft, you are not assertive like a man
If I were you listen to your mum
Intact shift the wedding to August not even April
Let everything expose itself
Don't rush this
And you sound like a very young man
So take your time

Ugosample:
I have been to almost a third of the countries in Sub Saharan Africa over the last five to six years
(spent considerable time too, not just staying for two days)
I have worked in ngos and met Africans from all over.

My primary base is another African country

So I know what I'm saying.

Africans have decided to be stupid BY CHOICE

It has nothing to do with genetics

It's the poor choices Africans make that are largely to blame


With the repugnant mentality prevalent too

Lugard hit it spot on.

African Nations cannot visualise the future and work towards it. Even basic management of things they can't.
They don't even know how to run a complex society. The only thing is to crave for money, more money, so there leaders steal them blind, with no development in place.
And the funny thing is, that the population is rapidly increasing at an alarming rate with no plan, no vision at hand.

What then will they do when the population doubles as it will be in the next 20years

kjhova:
You are Nigerian, I guess. Have you ever been to Djibouti, Uganda, Namibia, Mauritius, Rwanda or Sao Tome? I wm guessing no.

So where is this 80% stats from? I want to believe that someone didn't just pull a preferred figure from the rear of their back?!

Africa is poor and their are various reasons for this as their was multiple reasons for places that were once poor. As the law of probability goes, Africa will be well to do at some point in the future. If this is correct, then Mr Lugard's opinion is balderdash and nothing more.

You don't seem to understand the import of what was written; that something is genetically wrong with YOU, yes you and all of us Africans. That we are vermin and somewhat subhuman and forever incapable of ever being humans.

Please cut it. Lord Lugard wrote this almost 100;years ago, and there has not been tangible effort to change the narrative.
So yes Lugard was right.

I have been one person believing that things will get better. But honestly when I look around, I just shake my head.

Went through health challenges that almost took my life in February. Today when I see how healthy, strong and fit I am, it seem like I am dreaming.

Thank you Lord I am very grateful!!!!!

What an awesome,encouraging and uplifting testimony. May God be praised!!!!
He is a miracle working God.

The Lord will see both of you through. He who started this work will complete it.
Remain Blessed!!!

Like a preaching message I was listening today the preacher said,
you have the right to put your hands in fire but you cannot stop the consequences.
The same thing with sin, you have the right to live anyway you want, but you cannot stop the consequences of sin.

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus.
Now that you still have life, Jesus is still calling with an open arms.
But if you reject Jesus and the salvation he brings. I am sorry for you. Eternity is real .

They should just continue calling Russia and Putin's name. If Russia remember them, there own done be.
You guys are no match for Russia's sophistication. Look at what they did to Obama, Clinton and USA.
They better let the Russians be. They don't smile at all

Toks my man. I always like your topic
The Truth is that many folks are very confused
Because the society today has misplaced there priorities.

The way people view is sex today is alarming
A lot of women you are advising easily sleep around
Many of them don't know what they want in life

Only the wise ones will listen to your advice
Others will just offer themselves willingly to randy men.

Okoyeebos:
The North has the highest voting population.

Tell me a single person in Nigeria today who can defeat Buhari in the North.

Did you manage to read that article

Politics is a science.
Smart politicians win by projection.

This election will shock many people because average Nigerian on the street is going through terrible economic pain. And this cuts across the length and breadth of Nigeria.
I rest my case

John 3 vs 16

Every day tithe tithe tithe....
Let those who believe pay.
You can't stop people from paying
Many do pay

Those who don't pay face there own life.
From now till the Lord comes
Tithe will still be relevant

Africans always love to overflog issues
Face your own life

Thanks for the word

Our body is God's temple
Our body and spirit is God's property. It is not our own. God fashioned and fabricated our body.


1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.


Honouring God with our bodies may not be popular thing to do today. But if we must see God in the end then we have to submit to his commands by surrendering our bodies to his will.

Watched the debate. Peter Obi had proper understanding of things. He gave very workable and practical solution, breaking it down properly for understanding.

Things I learnt from him;

He talked on how SME can uplift the economy.
He talked on investing in education, highlighting STEM
Then he talked on focusing on future generation while presently Nigeria is focused on the past, actually this one really hit my soul.


Osibanjo was doing more of rebutal on Obis points. He was just eloquent, but I never got any tangible point. He was more blaming past regime.

I had PVC since 2011, but never voted before.
This will be the first time I will and must vote.
I never wanted to vote for Buhari or Atiku I was contemplating between Obi Ezekwesili or Fela Durotaye. But Obi is convincing me to change my mind.

I am so sorry for those who praise sin.
Eternity is waiting for all these things.
God is real. God is not man.
God is a consuming fire.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
There is a heaven to make and hell to escape

Most young people joke, play and commend sin. They don't fear God.
I am using this medium as a warning.
People are playing with there lives.


Isaiah 5 vs

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

26 And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:

29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.

Women very powerful beings, person wey no fear una his own don be

HungerMustGo:
Early period of deep romance always blinds couples to what getting into a marriage really is...

You can say it again.
Marriage no be by pre wedding.

Queenslandish:
I see him more as a life coach and motivational speaker who used the church as a platform to get to the top. Followed experience on TV and I saw no difference with a secular regular show. Secular comedians in the church entertaining supposed born again heaven bound Christians. Will there be comedians in heaven? I have come to realize that many churches for naija na hustle. I worship my God in my heart, pray to God in my closet and try to lead a good life. Jesus only is my role model.

The Bible says in his presence is fullness of Joy, at His right hand are pleasures for evermore.
Heaven will be fun and laughter.

It is false religion that makes people feel downcast before God.

There is no fun in this world. Why do you think many people now commit suicide? Some even blow there brains out. There is no peace or Joy in the world.
But God's real presence, depression, sorrow, sadness can never be there.

The most fun, laughter place to be is in God's presence every other ones are counterfeit.

That is what this 'get it quick' present generation will never understand.

Most of these men started from a very low state to become great men they are today.

I have come to realize that if you are a nobody, and does nothing. No one will criticise you. Nobody will talk about you.
But once you are doing something useful critics will jump out.

And most of these so called critics have never done anything useful or meaningful in there lives.

That's why one should not even give a second attention to critics. If they want they should cry blood, but keep on doing what you have been doing. Don't give them attention. Focus on the assignment before you, thats the most important thing.

naijainstinct:
Thank you very much. I will surely look for the two books this week.

Most of the people commenting here are youngsters who have no idea of history. Instead of holding their political leaders responsible, they are busy heaping blame on the religious leaders. Misplaced priorities if you ask me.

Most of the people commenting here are blind, they have no clue how the world works.
Many of them will be castigating Church out of frustration. While the Church is not there problem.


And the warning I have for some of them is that if they don't make out time to develop themselves. It will get worse.


If one don't plant during planting season, how will he reap during harvest
He will definitely reap nothing.


So good you have the desire to develop yourself. Get the books, read, have vision for your life and get to work. Kudos

naijainstinct:
Bro, how much did you purchase that book? I plan to get a copy soon

I got the book from my brother in law like 5 years ago. But you can buy it online from Amazon or other online sellers.
The first time I read that book I cried.


Another I recommend is my vision by sheikh Mohammed al maktoum the ruler of Dubai. He highlighted his vision for Dubai. The Dubai you see today was dreamed by his grandfather then his father began the development and he continued and he talked of handling the baton to his children and future generations

peterphd:
Then why aren't you like Singapore?

Go and ask Buhari
You guys have brain dead men leading you. The Church is even trying!!

While Singapore was developed by just one ruler Lee Kwan Yeew. I have his book 'Singapore from 3rd world to 1st world' in my library.

There was one experience he quoted on that book about African leaders he even mentioned Nigeria. In late 1960s he travelled to Ghana for Commonwealth head of government meeting. He flew domestic plane as passenger while African leaders had there own jets especially Nigeria(he mentioned Nigeria).
That African leaders only liked showing off but no plan to develop their people.

By late 1990s Singapore had moved to 1st world. As a result of the visions he put in place. While Nigeria with no vision is still languishing in poverty.


Go and ask your leaders and leave the Church alone. In the book of proverbs in the Bible it says that Where there is no vision the people perish.

HigherEd:
This is 30,000 seat New creation church by Joseph Prince in Singapore - the richest nation on earth. And blacks constitute very small or minute part of that church - if any sef.

Lalasticlala

Joseph Prince the preacher I listen to most now. He is a huge blessing to the body of Christ!!

Before I used to argue over this issue but not anymore.
Very many men have flaws. It takes deep ingrained self control and empathy not to be promiscuous. It is not easy at all.
I don't know whether tomorrow I may become liable. I pray I don't. I just pray I don't. Because I even blocked two different women disturbing me seriously on my phone. Women even now chase men. So it is double jeopardy for many men out there.

What is really a God fearing man?
Everyone has flaws, but in spite of it exercising self control, empathy, ability to put your partners need before your own.
having human feeling that you will not want to hurt your partner so you shun cheating despite high rate of temptation that is prevalent today. Because as a man most time na women now pursues and tempt men. Some will tell you point blank they like and want you.

Although sometimes the women these men marry may start taking that kind of man for granted, that's why some men don't subscribe to it.

jamace:
Little one, pls don't add the Catholic Church to the whims and caprices o this new generational churches.

In the Catholic church all monies received is owned by the church while in these new generation churches the pastors/GO owns everything and only reserve a small portion for the church.

Note that the Catholic Church is owned by all members while these other churches are private enterprises.

Is Redeemed Christian Church of God owned by anyone

KunmiRoxitaLTD:
THE CHURCH IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM!
By Hadizat Ibrahim

From my salary, I pay about 15% as tax to the government monthly.
When I make certain purchases, stay over in hotels, make flight bookings, shop for groceries, I still pay taxes - consumption tax, VAT, state tax...

Most Nigerians I know pay tax.

And we don’t even have a say on most of these taxes - they are either deducted from source or they are simply not optional.
Yet, I can’t say my life has improved significantly in comparison to my tax deductions and that of million others.
Light - we still don’t get 24 hour power supply.
Highways - the roads are a nightmare.
Security - still not guaranteed.
Public Healthcare - mostly inefficient.
Public Education - mostly poor.

But I pay tithe...voluntarily.
A minimum of 10% of my income.
I pay offering...voluntarily.
Nobody forced me to pay these.
I give to Kingdom projects.
My church decides to build an edifice that I am proud of...fully complete with AC, waste disposal system, public toilets and other things my government can’t even seem to get right (even at airports - our gateway to the nation!)

My church builds a worship center where I am free from distractions and I can communicate freely with God.

I don’t pay for anointing services that expand my territory; for communion services that perfect my healing and activate my consciousness for eternal life; for worship programmes that take me to the ThroneRoom of the Master; or for prayer sessions that unlock the mysteries of life and the Kingdom.

No, I don’t pay for illumination or direction in any area of my life...Jesus is the LIGHT...as taught in my Church from the Bible.
I am not confused about direction or purpose...Jesus is the WAY!
My health is intact and when I have a scare and I need someone to pray with/for me...my Pastor gladly steps up and takes authority...charging nothing...because God wishes above all things that I be in health.
I have enjoyed covenant security at no cost.

Week in, week out, God (through the Church and my Pastors) blesses me...yet my government fails me at every turn!

Dear Activist,

What exactly have you done to hold government accountable for the taxes they receive but can’t fix the basics of standard living?

Yet, you are convinced that you have a moral right to complain about church edifices that members gladly contributed to erect?

Focus, my friend.
The Church is not your problem!

Wow this is the summary of this whole issue!!!!

BluntBoy:
You want to eat your cake and have it

You are putting yourself in the bondage of the law that Jesus got cursed just to set you free from. And now, you still want the grace even though you want to remain under the law.

Do you know why Christ was cursed for our sake?

It is because the Law was like a curse, a bondage. There is no freedom. It is either you keep it (pay your tithe) or suffer the curse that comes with the law (the devourers of crops).

But Christ left the luxury of heaven and became wretched (human and mortal) so that we can be rich (have eternal life). He took upon himself the curse of the law and liberated us.

But you people want to continue to make a mockery of his sacrifices by remaining under the bondage of the law.

And the most annoying thing is that you want to play smart. You want to tithe but don't want to keep the other laws. Even the tithing procedures are regarded as unimportant by you people.

Read Galatians 3 stop misquoting the Scripture.

Galatians 3 vs

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.



Christ redeemed us from the law, why
That the blessings of Abraham may come on the gentiles.

Notice we are redeemed to receive Abraham's blessings

But Abraham paid tithe to Melchizedek 400years before the law.

Tithe predates the law

TheGreenLand:
Nigeria has no electricity. Yet, what you hear everywhere is not serious matters or issues on how a nation can move forward. Distraction and a show of exposure are instead, primal.It is stupidity flushed agitations to nowhere.

You actually got it spot on.
They will criticize the Church but champion backwardness.
None of them have given any meaningful contribution to move this Nation forward.
I laugh at this people. Now for the Church to build factories, employment etc.
Then what is there government doing.

Covenant university that is not up to 10 years is making giant strides in education and research while there dilapidated, obscure, backward, moribund universities are still living in the 1970s. How many of the elites send there children to these obscure universities


Honestly people that really have time for this people has got time to waste

SKhanmi:
To answer your question, imagine both of us back in the pre-colonial days of Nigeria when traditional values & beliefs still held weight.

Now imagine yourself as a Christian observer while I'm a pagan & you predicted the fall & relegation of idol worship & I asked you this question

"So the destruction of our shrines is your joy abi?"

What would be your answer.

Mine: It doesn't matter,I was only stating a fact. You can face it squarely & ponder on the possibility & whether you can counter that view instead of distracting with non logical emotion driven responses.

By the way, where are the idol worshippers now? There's no ultimate truth. There's always something beyond the utmost horizon

Your assumption is wrong
Christ Jesus has been preached since 2000 years ago and the message of the kingdom is even getting stronger.
Millions are still giving there life to Christ


Even economically many of these Churches have there members running very successful and thriving businesses better than those people who are not in the kingdom.


So how will you stay were you are, and with no results to show now convince me who have results to show concerning my beliefs and practices.

Can't you see you are the one in delusion?
