CNN VERSUS PNN... PRT 8 (The Almighty is Never Partial)

2007/2008, in the city of Abuja... One of my neighbours (good friend of mine) called on me to address an issue.. He had a huge/massive growth on his wrist. He had said, he believed if I prayed, things would change..I probably joked with him asking if I was his pastor.
Anyways, I looked at the huge lump and was about speaking to it when I felt all of a sudden not to bother. I told him I wasnt going to do anything. He asked why. I told him I didn't see the need to. He's a believer, so am I. The same access I have, he has also. He tried arguing and pleading but I showed him scriptures to explain my small thoughts on the issue.. Peter had gotten to a house where a fellow believer was sick. He was shocked to see the dude in that state so he preached to him and not prayed for him. He said.." Ananias, Jesus Christ makes you well, Get up"..... Hmm, In 21st century Language, it was simply " Hey Dude, what are you doing lying down like that. That's not your brand. Don't u know who you are. Exercise your own faith and get yourself out of that mess."


So, I told the young man what to do, how to see and how to operate. Just a few days later, he ran to me to show me his hand..cleared

He's the same God,yesterday today and forever. If you're like me, You'll politely and loving ask the Almighty God... "Hey Boss, Bishop Oyedepo, Pst Chris Oyakhilome, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Maldonaldo, Ps Adeboye, etc, all have 2 hands, I also have 2 hands. They have 2 eyes Lord, I also have 2 eyes, they have a nose Lord, I also have a nose. Haba.. God. Are you partial or there's something you have revealed to them that I don't know? Kindly reveal to me too naaaaa if I be your pikin. Your word says "Ask and Receive" I salute and respect all of them but you didn't say only the 5 fold ministry(Apostle, Pastor, Prophet, evangelist, teacher)should ask and receive. I'm here for mine. Dbanj may have sang Oliver Twist, but I am here as one..

Simply David, Saluting the Almighty

Religion / Cnn Versus Pnn... Prt 7 (special Thanks To God And Femi Olagbaiye For Saving Me) by dlawale(m): 9:48am On Aug 23, 2014
NN VERSUS PNN.... PRT 7 (Special thanks to God and Femi Olagbaiye for saving my life)

Sometimes good friends are hard to find. I owe a friend for saving my life. He didn't know what he did. It was just God using him like a pawn.

1997/98... (Trying hard to remember which one. Well, I'm not Kenneth Hagin so it's okay for me to goof on the date a bit). Young, unsaved, wild, rocking, thinking about money and different chicks. Well, let's just say I was pretty stupid @ the time.

My friend(Layi) lived in a serviced apartment in victoria island. We were terrible kids. Sometimes, the place was like girls dorm. They had a pool downstairs and we used to love to go there. Informal pool parties and the likes occured. I was learning how to swim. Femi Olagbaiye was a good swimmer. I never dared what they did in the pool but when the ladies were around, many tried to impress(Typical).
One day,they were all gisting at the deep end and I felt I could make it there. I held on to the edges and got there. The gist was loud and funny at the time. I had forgotten I was the only one that couldn't swim. I laughed and let go of the edge. I went down, down...... I battled, I struggled to come back up. I fought and fought. All I kept hearing was laughter. They didn't bother about me. It was like a joke to them. "The youthful madness." I drank more water and battled for my life. I was already weak. It was almost time to go...... Like a saviour, like a movie having hercules as the lead character, or keanu reeves as matrix I hand came and grabbed me from the bottom of the pool and brought me up. It was Femi Olagbaiye. Everyone was still laughing at their gist, oblivious of what had happened to me. Femi went back to join the gist without emotions.. The dude never even knew what he had done for me. He never knew that I was almost gone. I recouped slowly and was silent about the matter. No one had really noticed. Seems the funny gist they were having was more important than my life. I was silent about the matter till I revealed it for the very first time last year to Femi. He didn't even know what he had done. Well, God did. I wasn't saved. At the time, I respected there was God somewhere but I wasn't going to allow Him into my heart. I wasn't planning to be saved, but God's love is beyond whether you are saved or not. Black or white; Arab or Jew; Christian or Muslim; He's madly in love. Now, though he loves us just the way we are, He doesn't leave us the way we are. God pushed some buttons and I'm grateful to both God and Femi that I'm able to see 2014. (About 17years later)

NB
I still don't know how to swim...

Religion / Cnn Versus Pnn... Prt 6 (the Sierra Leone Experience) by dlawale(m): 10:16am On Aug 21, 2014
CNN VERSUS PNN.... PRT 6.... ( )
This PNN(Personal News Network) below is an un-edited version of God's awesomeness in a different country 4 years ago. This is David Lawale; and the PNN coverage was from Freetown; Sierra Leone.

FREEDOM IN FREETOWN...

A few years ago, I was in freetown, Sierra Leone. Used the opportunity to network most of their Banks. Met some of their MD's and Hr heads. The protocols there are not large like Nigeria; They welcome new ideas. With the same mindset,I went to their Secretariat to meet with the Minister of Interior and the Minister of Youth Development to let them know what I could do for their nation. Met the minister of Youth downstairs. Discussed extensively, gave me his card and a note to the director of youth since he was on his way out. I later went to the Minister of Interiors office. I didn't have an appointment but I had confidence. Staff liked me and decided to slot my name in last minute. I was ushered into the waiting room. At the waiting room,I saw an elderly lame man discussing with some other guy. I sat down and brought out my THISDAY newspaper. It caught their attention. Their dailies are often black and white, mine was coloured. Anyway,the old man complained about life,spoke about how d minister was his child-hood friend. I guess, the man he was talking to got a call and had to rush out. The old man concentrated on me and kept complaining about life's blows and all. I knew where he was getting at since he seemed to talk a lot about his being lame for so many years and his equipment for mobility. I politely shut him up with a strange question..
I said sir.." Are u christian, Muslim, Atheist, Buddhist...what r u? He said he's Muslim..
I said "good, at least, that's a start. Muslims believe there is a God somewhere too,they are not just focused on my area yet. I'm not bothered if you're christian, muslim right now, My God is too big for religions designed by man. I'll like to superimpose God's way into you."
He looked at me puzzled.
I said " Do you want to walk?"
More confused.. He said "Yes"
I said.. "Ok, I'm going to lay hands on your back and command you to walk in the name of Jesus. Jesus is not Christian,He's not Muslim, He's not Buddhist. He died for ALL. He didnt die for religion. He desires that all will come to Him and what he designed. He designed KINGDOM and not Religion.
He said.."Ok"
I asked..."Do u believe if I lay hands on you and tell you to walk in Jesus name, you would."
He said..." I believe,...I believe"
I got up, put my Thisday paper down and went to him. Laid my right hand on his back and didn't pray. I gave the bone structure a command when I laid hands on Him. Jesus showcased authority with negative things.When it came to prayer, He prayed intimately to the Father in relationship.... With a command, I said Get Up and walk. Power surged thru his body and I aided his confidence in standing by giving him a hand. He got up slowly,alarmed,and shocked. Stared at me 'what is this.'......... I told him, to walk. He moved with pain but the shock covered the pain.
I said... "Keep walking, it gets perfect."
His stare was blank as we continued walking. Facial expression changed, smiles came in. I held his hand to walk with him to increase pace. He moved fast as well with a lot of talk and noise. In his worship, I had to cut him off and remind him, It's all God's work and not mine. I spoke to him at length about the love of God and led him in prayer. To cut the long story.. He asked if I was a Pastor.. I simply said No. Mark 16v17 says its available to all who believe and not the Pastors and Bishops. I further asked if he knew any of these 3 ministries --Christ Embassy,Living Faith or Redeem Church (As far as I know,those r the 3 ministries you'll probably find in various African countries also). He knew only Living Faith.(I didn't know my way around town at all,so I gave him my business card and a note to the pastor there). Also gave him 20,000 leones in my pocket to go downstairs and take lunch. I knew the problem wasn't just him walking (Like I always say, Healing is for babes), the problem was also poverty. He excitedly left his walking equipment and went through the hall of the secretariat..... I didn't know he and his condition were popular at the secretariat.

People rushed into the waiting room. No one knew what to say and I didn't know what they came in for. Some sat down and looked round. Some stared while I continued reading my Thisday newspaper. Once again, I felt thisday colours had caught their attention. The Ministers PA and SA walked in, looked at me for a while. I expected the sweet words.."The Minister will see you now." She turned back and went to her office. Others came to the door, opened, peeped and left. A bold one walked in and shouted.. Who come leave this equipment 4 here na? (They speak pidgin english too but theirs is faster. As if there's pepper in their mouths). I responded politely that it was the elderly fellow. He then turned to me and said.. Baba waka commot for here without him tins?
I said.."Well yes, he doesn't need them again.."
He drew a chair closer to me, others moved close.."Come, them tell me say na u do am."
I laughed and said..No, God did it. Many questions came and I was turned to a pastor that day as they sat to listen in their numbers. People came in saying they had issues with their eyes and all. Some said they didn't believe in God, others Muslims, few Christians. Bottomline, I told them religions will always fight for supremacy, but what Jesus brought wasn't a religion. There's a religious aspect/practice to it but its bigger than Just Religion. He's too big for all religions put together which were schools of thought from various icons in their spheres..The church may have grasped a part but its bigger than that. People gave their hearts to Christ and were given some form of direction as much as I could. I walked out of the secretariat not seeing the Minister, I was fulfilled. Partial Blindness,etc, healed. People transformed as I told them about what naturally qualifies us to be Gods(Ps 82v5-6; John 10v34) superimposing His DNA into people.

These things are not man's thoughts. They are God's thought. They are not yet as popular on the earth as man's thoughts/creations of religions, but I choose to stay with God's mindset and not the REBRANDED version........ Like I often say, Get wisdom, though it costs you all, get understanding.

It's a sunday, are you listening to your pastor and cheering over the good works he's doing or the words are sinking into your spirit and it get's you positively mad enough to go out and do good works yourself.. Remember, Eph 4v11, these ministry gifts were given to YOU to perfect YOU for the work of the ministry........ What are the works of the ministry?......... (Win souls, heal the sick, cast out devils, feed people, love people, show them and bring them into what makes you a legend, raise the dead, showcase Jesus)-- Mark 16v17 speaks of a little of it..

SO NOTE: Each time you see your pastor or man of God heal the sick, DONT GET EXCITED,GET EMBARRASSED, HE'S DOING YOUR JOB SINCE YOU'LL NOT GROW UP FAST ENOUGH TO DO IT... Don't forget scripture says they are to perfect you for such things. Healing is for babes. Such things are too small for them, they are meant to be handling higher matters..

Straight from the heart and God's heart beat... David Lawale

Religion / CNN VERSUS PNN....PRT 5..(the Supernatural Is Natural) by dlawale(m): 11:31am On Aug 18, 2014
CNN VERSUS PNN....PRT 5..(The supernatural is natural)

2002; at the University of Lagos. I stayed in a BQ with some friends. Tunji Sapara, Taiwo Onalaja, Femi Olagbaiye and Kehinde Onalaja. It was my joy when these 4 fellas said on Friday "I'm going home for the weekend, I'll be back monday"..... WOW. David alone in the BQ. I loved it. It was time for God and I to have some fun. Time to study books and listen to tapes(No CD's in those days). I listened to men of God and jotted down as if I was training to be a pastor...lol. I recall jotting so fast because I coldnt afford to buy the tapes. Looking at the rich dudes that could buy the tapes, I made up my mind to jot everything I hear from a man of God's preaching in my jotter. If he sneezed while preaching, I would also put in bracket (he sneezed). I felt if the dudes who buy the tapes sit in comfort and listen to a complete live message, I could bring out my jotter and relive the experience. Looking back now,It was fun. I used to tell a pastor friend in those days-Pastor Bolaji Idowu. "If I come to your room, there's no guarantee I won't steal your tapes. The only thing I'll steal is the word of God." He would laugh.

Anyways, Tunji, Taiwo, kehinde and Femi had gone home for the weekend. I pulled out the book I had planned for- "Good Morning Holy Spirit" by Benny Hinn.. I wanted no distractions. I sat on the floor and finished up the last bit of the Bishop Francis wale Oke message I had been listening to at the time. After that, I opened the book and read the introduction Benny Hinn wrote. I started feeling funny. The room all of a sudden started looking strange and seemed to spin. I knew what it was immediately. I had heard Bolaji Idowu, Mike Murdoch, Benny Hinn, Wole Akinlaja, Kenneth Hagin, etc talk about that presence... Somehow, I felt extremely drunk but this wasnt from wine or strong drinks. The room seemed to spin again. The door opened slightly and that shocked me. In my "drunk" mode, I looked at the door, there was no one there. It closed. (Why would the supernatural need the opening of a door, I may have thought. Well, to help the boosting of my faith I probably answered)...
I felt a strong presence in the room. I broke into uncontrollable laughter. There was absolutely nothing funny to laugh about so I tried controlling it but burst out into more laughter. (Thank God, the people of Psychiatric home Aro, Yaba were not close by. They may have picked me o).

The laughter wasn't one I could control. The bible talks a bit about this in Isaiah. I looked to the right and saw a strong awesome presence which I couldnt see. (I'm sure u're confused about that statement. Forgive me..lol)

The presence sat down on my bed and I saw my mattress go in. STRANGE!!!!!. I was totally "drunk" in the spirit. I did what I had learnt from TD Jakes at the time... "Don't just enjoy the feeling of His presence, use it to pray and listen at that period." ..... I did.

After a while, things were back to normal,I laid down on the bed to read more and study the word. Then I turned to rest; flat on my belly. I felt big mighty magnificient hands on my legs. Hmm.. It was a good feeling. I didn't want it to stop. Then I felt my legs being lifted up... Nah.. That was way too much for me, so I turned round quickly to look. My leg dropped and there was no one. I quickly tried to close my eyes to see if it would happen again--- "For where." "No show"

Pop Quiz... Was I going crazy or God really lives and is also our hommie, love and friend.

That was a coverage from Akoka- Yaba, Lagos State. Nigeria; West Africa.

CNN VERSUS PNN (PRT 4)

In 2005/2006, I was driving my honda towards garki. It was a Friday night(I think). I was enjoying sweet music from the car deck. Probably my favourite song.."world's greatest" from music artist R. Kelly. I was moving along and had passed Agura Hotel in Garki. Enjoying the sweet melody and driving in some sort of okay speed; I had looked at the T-junction right ahead of me carefully and saw no up coming vehicle from both the left and right. I was okay it seemed so I wrongly didn't slow down at the T-junction ahead. All of a sudden, another strange looking car appeared in speed from the left of the T. Junction; also not looking. The speed was obvious, there was going to be a head on collision and the speed from both parties were crazy..

Well, don't expect me to explain further. I don't know what happened. Jokes apart, I REALLY don't. It was TOTALLY impossible for us to have missed each other. It was too late...... It seemed either the hospital or the morgue..... BUT.. I found his car on the other side of the road successfully while I was on the other side of my road. YEAH... I'm still as confused as you. That's the first question I'll ask the ALMIGHTY Himself once I get to heaven. How in the world did you do it? Did the car jump, go thru mine, or what? The speed can't be expressed but the car certainly made the other side faster and that's impossible to the world we know.

Do I believe this is God?... ABSOLUTELY
Do you think I'm foolish?... WELL, POLITELY AND BLUNTLY I'LL SAY THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS.

CNN VERSUS PNN..... PRT 3

2004, I was in the city of Yola, Adamawa state. It was certainly an experience. Yola can be extremely cold towards december, but also extremely extremely hot towards other months. The heat produced by the tar on the express was serious. Candles were bought from freezers. The meat was cheap. Sometimes,I wondered why the people there were so calm. I grew up in Lagos where we had to hussle and rush for everything. A city where you ran after the bus while it was in motion and u pleaded with the bus conductor to wait. In yola, when I was late for work, I hated using the buses. They would drive casually. The driver was not in a hurry. A potential passenger will be waited for to finish gisting with her friend b4 she boards the bus. We all had to wait. If they saw a potential customer coming out of her house, they would drive to the round about, take the turn all the way back to go and pick the person from his or her home..WHATTTT. I was amazed at the calmness and the respect they gave themselves. Nah.. I grew up in Lasgidi. In Lagos, the nxt person wasn't respected that way. In fact the bus drivers and the conductors often acted as if it was a priviledge for you to be stopped for.

Anyway, in Yola,I met a couple of people and made friends. One in particular was a female who attended cherubim and seraphim. I've never been biased about churches or followed whether one is real or not. I just do my thing and know that fakes can never last/survive the grace I carry. (Pls understand this isn't pride. All men have a certain level of confidence, some are confident in their billions, some in the PhD's, others in their looks, some in the cult,jazz, godfather figure, etc. Mine is in God. He's more real than the hands typing this message right now..)

Anyway, the young woman and I got talking about God. She had her reservations and doubts. She also was never someone who actually attended church much but for her parents. Bottomline, I shared what I knew from God's word informally with her and decided I needed to get her saved and also give her some 'armo' or fire power. I often call the infilling of the Holy Spirit the armo. As I laid hands on her, she burst out in prophecy and visions of what she saw. Hey, that was extremely wierd to me at the time. I had not seen that before. It was about her being filled to speak in tongues. Nonetheless, I was quiet listening and being sensitive. Scanning and Checking everything with the word of God in me to make sure there was no "hanky-panky." She spoke about seeing angels and them telling her what to say. She told me she couldnt say them. I told her to go ahead and not be afraid, I'll correct her if she's wrong. Hmm... A lady that didn't know much about me......In fact, we met in yola. We didn't have up to a weeks encounter; yet she started revealing things she said angels were writing on a chalk board for her. They were accurate things of my past and even my future which I knew to a point...She also knew nothing about scriptures but when she spoke words of prophecies, she kept saying I'm told to say...... The scriptures were accurate. In one of our prayers, God spoke thru her and said "Listen, I'm talking to the 7 of you". I opened my eyes to look round and wondered.. Seven? Did she just say 7 persons? HEYYYYY, NOW WAIT A MINUTE.. All of a sudden, she completed with eyes closed,.. "You doubt me, but I the Lord will make you understand this tomorrow." The next day, we felt like worshiping and when we started, various persons felt like coming in to join in the house. We were 7. I had forgotten, God reminded me about yesterday. I marvelled the more.

The first day I laid hands, she spoke words of prophecies. Both telling of the past and future. She had visions and saw angels and the person of Jesus etc. That day, she didn't speak in tongues. The next day in prayers, she saw in a vision where an angel wrote something on a classroom board and told her like a student to repeat it. She didn't see meaning in the words so she told me. I simply told her to follow instructions availed her. She repeated the strange words she saw on the board and that's how her speaking in tongues started.

Could David Lawale be making this story up?... Well, the bible says deep calls unto deep.... The Spirit of God bears witness with our spirit that we are sons of God. If you're thinking this is made up, then deep hasn't called unto deep

The next day, we felt like worshiping and when we started, various persons felt like coming in to join in the house. We were 7. I had forgotten, God reminded me about yesterday. I marvelled the more.

The first day I laid hands, she spoke words of prophecies. Both telling of the past and future. She had visions and saw angels and the person of Jesus etc. That day, she didn't speak in tongues. The next day in prayers, she saw in a vision where an angel wrote something on a classroom board and told her like a student to repeat it. She didn't see meaning in the words so she told me. I simply told her to follow instructions availed her. She repeated the strange words she saw on the board and that's how her speaking in tongues started.

Could David Lawale be making this story up?... Well, the bible says deep calls unto deep.... The Spirit of God bears witness with our spirit that we are sons of God. If you're thinking this is made up, then deep hasn't called unto deep

CNN VERSUS PNN... PRT 2

Years ago, Some robbers came into our compound. I was on flat 3. They had robbed flat 1 successfully without my knowledge. I was deep in sleep. They got to flat 2 and tried breaking in. The people In flat 2 were screaming. I heard the robbers shout "open the door". Things were breaking everywhere. One Of the females in the flat was crying, the other female was shouting,HELP US, ROBBERS, THIEVES. The noise woke me up and fear chills came in. My phone rang but I had to quickly cut the phone and put it on silent. One of the occupants of flat 2 was calling my phone secretly. I searched my phone list in a confused state,having come into reality from the dream world. I couldn't find the numbers for the police.

All of a sudden it dawned on me. There are some security agents faster than the police. I dialled God's number and called for security men called angels. I specifically asked for ones that won't show mercy. More boldness came as I gave orders I had never given b4. "CHARGE, KNOCKOUT,etc ," I voiced( can't remember the rest). I heard heavy hits and slaps and felt very sorry for the neighbours. I heard a few screams from male figures who were the brothers of the female neighbours in Flat 2. I felt the brothers were being beaten too. Numerous slaps and male cries were heard. More shouts came forth. Then, lots of noise and the sound of feet running away. The noise reduced as the last thing heard was.. "make we run"( I don't really recall the exact words).

Anyway, there was a bit of silence. Apart from the females wailing. Neighbours came out eventually when they felt it was safe. So did I. We all went to flat 2. The Flat 1 woman said she didn't resist. She just gave them her cash. They had smashed the burglary proof of flat 2. They used heavy hammers. I consoled the members of flat 2 and asked who they were slapping and beating. They said NONE. They said none of them got beaten or slapped. They were still gaining entrance forcefully when the robbers started acting funny and took off in fear. I said I heard slaps and heavy beaten. They said there was nothing like that but the robbers all of a sudden reacted in strange ways; then took off in panick..

Call it what you want but I chose to see the ALMIGHTY GOD at work releasing his angels to slap, knock out the robbers. Flat 1 was robbed, Flat 2 was being robbed, I was in Flat 3.

Does God really exist or was this a fluke.. Your choice tho. I choose the former( He exists and not only does He exist, He is the term "Existence"wink.

CNN VERSUS PNN (PRT 1)

Many have boasted about what Ebola can do; That's fine..... But I'll like to boast a little about what the Almighty God Can do.. Thank God for CNN, but unknown to many PNN is more effective and has more coverage. In my words, PNN is Personal News Network.(Picture each person doing a PNN on their various social media platforms). Let's take facebook. Over 1.5billion persons are on fB. That's just 1 platform and there are several others. FB is virtually free(token internet access fee). CNN is often viewed by those that can afford the connecting platform. So, there's something bigger than CNN, it's PNN.. For the next few days,I'll be on PNN on my social space. My PNN will be boasts about God who seemed to have been less popular than Ebola in this world of ours within the last 3-4weeks.

Remember, malaria was a killer disease in those days. Scientifically proven, the fear and magnification of the disease was what triggered many more of its death. Today,many even knock out malaria mentally without even using drugs or praying.

Starting Tomorrow, allow me boast a little about God. This is why I created PNN. If this makes sense to you, spread it. Let's PNN and take back our world from CNN. I love them but their mirage of a monopoly of influence can also bring good news.

Cheers and meet you in PNN's world soon. PNN's world has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with the Almighty God.

Once again, in the world of David Lawale; The Almighty God Himself is NOT a christian,muslim,scientologist, etc. He's too big for such.

See you tomorrow. A virus spreads fast, we are told. PNN should spread faster than a virus. It's simply you expressing/publishing/broadcasting/announcing/endorsing/saluting/bragging/arrogantly showcasing God in all your years

Nairaland / General / Lessons From 2 Legendary Brands Called Tupac Shakur And Notorious B.i.g by dlawale(m): 11:43am On Nov 25, 2013
Lessons from 2 legendary brands called TUPAC SHAKUR and NOTORIOUS B.I.G

1. In my book 21st century Joseph, I described Jail/Prison as something physical/mental or spiritual. There are various kinds of jails. Now, it doesn't matter if you've been to prison,what matters is how you come out and if your mindset is also free. Obasanjo went to jail and eventually made something of his life and is a major icon in this Nation's governance, Mandela went to jail and came out as President being a major icon in his country and the world, Tupac Shakur went to jail, came out and dominated the rap scene. Unfortunately, his body was free but his mind wasn't yet.

2. B.I.G was consistently "dissed"(insulted) about his size growing up. In fact, he seemed to be a joke to both male friends and the females. When success came, he became their meal ticket. Money has a way of decorating your defects. Stop complaining about defects. You and the rest of the 'player haters' are only seeing them cos you've not discovered your purpose. When you discover purpose and money starts following your purpose,people will want to have the so called defect u have..Hey, picture actor Sylvester Stallone. He has partial paralysis and many made fun of his speech and called him names growing up. Today, he's a success in his field and the females feel he's sexy in the way he talks. In fact, some acts portraying an Italian Mafia role copy the way he speaks.

3. East coast and West coast controversy has faded. When you ask most kids on the streets in the United States who they'll want to be like.. Most will say Jay Z, Will Smith... None will really say Tupac or B.I.G. Violence/madness/strife has an expiration date, lots of distant admirers but little or no proteges who like to go down the way mentors went down.. Music sensation Mary J.B said she totally stopped drinking after Whitney Houston's death. Hey, NO ONE wants to repeat a failed status

4. In the words of Coolio after his interview on the hit single " Gangsta's Paradise," he said,.. " Actually there are no gangsters living in paradise.". Hmm, Coolio, you're right. Hey, I say this without remorse, If you're a gangster, terrorist, etc... There's no place in Paradise for you. There's only a place called the BELLY OF FOOLS. Since no one can come back to life to actually tell gangsters/terrorists that they've been deceived, they'll keep living in such foolishness.

5. Physical rivalry due to music, football, etc seems fun to a lot of people but not me. Hey, Arsenal, Chelsea, Barca, Man U,Real Madrid etc don't know your names, addresses or bank details. They have not even influenced a bank loan application for you.. Why not just enjoy the game and let it stop there. I'm not old but I have seen some foolishness under the sun. While in Lagos years ago, Arsenal was playing against Man U. Heated arguements occurred btw Arsenal and Man U fans. Before anything could be said, one broke a bottle and warned the other. The other broke his own bottle. People started shouting and pushing themselves. The Man U fan struggled with the Arsenal fan and was able to stab him at the eye. Cut the silly story short, the boy was rushed to the hospital. When my friend went to visit him,...With a Bandage round his head and one eye buried underneath it, he raised his thumb up and said ARSENAL FOR LIFE.. Friends, how sick is that. Arsenal doesn't know u, doesn't even care about you, yet you were willing to lose your life. Hey, How much of Mikel Obi's money has come to you.. Friends, relax, enjoy the game and just go home. I almost got hit by an angry driver who was pissed his club lost. I had to park. I can't forget that day. If you love foolishness, by all means stay in it but do not extend the effects to us.

6. In the world of business, deal with the leader and the followers will calm down. It's a Mafia Manager technique. Currently, a bank used that principle. Most of the leaders have been taken by another bank. Little wonder, a news paper article came out months ago saying an entirely different bank is thinking of buying the bank that lost lots of its leaders. In business, staff must realise they are the life-line of any organisation. In Nigeria, staff feel the organisation is their life-line. Understand your Brand and your company will treat you right.

7. The Jonathan Vs Amechi thing reminds me about Tupac Vs Biggie... Long after you're gone, we'll still have Nigeria. Wake up. Learn from Abiola Vs Abacha.. Many wish they were alive today, unfortunately they are not. Nigeria has moved on.. We'll forever remember June 12 but I'd have preferred Abiola being alive than a date being alive.

8. There's a thin line between Love and Hate.. Tupac and B.I.G were very good friends. They would have made up and continued but they had a crowd of people looking up to them and that crowd often poured more fuel in the fire. The east coast-west coast feud became deep. Too deep the FBI had to step in. DONT LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR PEOPLE, never also judge things based on one person's side of the story. At a strategy session I had 2days ago for the senior management of an organisation, I asked 'How many of you think Dangote made his money in a clean way, How many don't, how many are indifferent.. Many hands went up for those that felt he made it illegally. Now, I asked for proof. Everyone told me about a source they heard from which heard from another source.. Now, I'm not saying he made his money in a clean way or not. I'm simply saying that everyone relies on some story from somewhere and that story relies on another story. No one has facts or proof. Do you not know the number of university students that claim their friend slept with a particular girl. Ask them this simple question..., where u there, did you see it yourself...they'll say the gist came from so and so. Or their friend told them. In the strategy session, I preferred those that were indifferent. Mind your business and Live your own life.
9. To entertainers... Most times, major wealth and fame come upon you unprepared. When they come, your best friends are often wild parties, drugs, weed,alcohol, late nights, drunk driving, fights etc.. Learn from those that got knocked down and knocked out in the "school of life." Life has a school, unfortunately, many keep failing classes their predecessors also failed.

10. Just the way East Coast- West coast battled for supremacy.. Various religions round the world will always want to battle for superiority, significance and supremacy. The funny thing there is long after lives have been sacrificed due to intolerance, the religions will still remain while you were simply a "burnt offering." We have not even said if the Almighty accepts your personal sacrifice of killing yourself or killing another. If He did, I'll rather worship the star or wind.
11. Never brag about sleeping with your friend's wife. You may end up concluding the story at the other side of the world. A man's pride and joy is his wife, whether he's still in love with her or not.

12. Individual, corporate, Group or National disagreements shouldn't be made public. There are some that can only pay their children's school fees, put food on the table etc, from these. They'll do what they can to escalate things and make sure people keep buying. Your stupidity can be someone else's meal ticket and opportunity to buy lots of real estate. I love the press

13. In the words of Chinua Achebe.." Death is a bad reaper, it often reaps the unripe fruit.". Death is like a Bank loan-facility application in Nigeria. It's a mystery; but if you facilitate the loan process, you may get the approval. Some live in a way that helps to facilitate the loan application for death. " Once again, there are no gangsters living in paradise."

Religion / The Devil's Pride And Joy In The 21st Century by dlawale(m): 12:22pm On Nov 15, 2013
THE DEVIL'S PRIDE AND JOY IN THE 21ST CENTURY

(I sent this via social media 4 years ago; it may spark off something today as it did then. Enjoy your Friday and stay away from drugs )

Hi, I’m David Ropo Lawale. My life’s passion is God, His word, His angels and passionately building Personal Brands, Corporate Brands, National or International Brands.

You’re probably a very busy person; So am I, so I’ll try not to take much of your time. Would just want to share God's heart beat with you.

WARNING………………THIS IS UNCENSORED, SO FOR THE WEAK MINDED, IT MIGHT HURT A LITTLE.

THIS THOUGHT IS REAL, I ONLY CREATED THE SCENARIO BASED ON AN EMAIL I READ OF WHAT THE DEVIL DECIDED TO DO ON EARTH. NOW, LISTEN, IM NOT THE KIND OF PERSON THAT TALKS ABOUT THE DEVIL. I DON’T PRAY ABOUT HIM EITHER. HE’S NOT AN ISSUE. .

PLS READ.
The devil looked at his little demons and smiled mischievously.
“There are gifts for you for this level of success but you have to do more. We have not arrived yet. There's more work to do” The devil announced.
“We did as you said. We noticed they were just too powerful but we were able to make them use their power and authority against themselves.” the little demon in a red bow tie said
“Hmmm.” The devil lit his cigar and crossed his legs, “Tell me more.”
“ Sir, They are strong and unstoppable. They gave us so many blows in this realm but since their mindsets were focused on just church and not the fullness of the kingdom, we decided to deepen their thirst in that area.”
“Break it down boy, there were no schools during my time and remember I existed before Adam who didn’t go to school either.” the devil snapped
“ Okay ”the little demon said. “ Everyone is bothered about their church these days so they don’t see the big picture God Himself orchestrated which is being kingdom minded. We went into that loop hole and increased it. Now, we've almost succeeded. Guess what is happening now sir,"
"W-W-What. What is happening?"
"Sir, dont spoil the flow. I just asked you to guess,"
"Are you crazy? Do i look as if i play games. SPEAK before i turn you to dinner before the rest of your subordinates. No wonder you've not grown tall for centuries. IDIOT."
"Apologies sir, i'll proceed now with your permission."
The devil waves and says "Continue"
"Sir, Now the Methodists are talking against the Anglicans, the Anglicans criticize the Pentecostals, the Pentecostals stick their noses up against the Catholics, The Catholics don’t believe in the Pentecostals, the Charismatics feel the Baptist have lost track of the times. Hence everyone sees something wrong in the next. Even the Pentecostals are divided amongst themselves. The pastors talk against themselves and call one another fake. Some say Sunday is a worship day, another say it’s Saturday. Hence they argue amongst themselves and try and stay away from each other forgetting there’s something good to learn from one another. We hear sayings like, ‘this is the way we do it in my church’ instead of them searching the word and finding out how God expects them to do it. We are gradually succeeding with the use of division. They don't trust themselves, neither do they believe much in themselves.”

Let me pause for a moment and talk to you a little. Where in the Bible does it talk about PENTECOSTAL, CATHOLIC, BAPTIST, 7TH DAY ADVENTIST, METHODIST, CHARISMATIC, ANGLICAN ETC?

GET READY!!............ I’m about turning to a preacher here.. The Bible says, I(Jesus speaking) would build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Scripture said church, it didn’t say churches. Church there is The Body. It’s one body not so many bodies or a divided lot. Have you ever thought of feeding your physical body. Do u say, ‘I need to feed my legs so leg eat this one, arm this is what im feeding you with.--- NO WAY---- The food you take in is what feeds the whole body. So, pop quiz!! Why in the world do people say this is the revelation we have. The revelation given by Jesus Christ to John was for the entire body of Christ (the church)—That’s kingdom mindedness. There's a difference between Rhema and Revelation.

Guess what? Jesus prayed in John 17:21-23. Jesus prayed for us all that we may be ONE, so that the world may believe in HIM.

THE WORLD WONT BELIEVE BECAUSE YOU ARE STILL PENTECOSTAL, BAPTIST, CATHOLIC, METHODIST, 7TH DAY, ANGLICAN,CHARISMATIC ETC……….THEY’LL BEGIN TO BELIEVE THE DAY YOU ALL DECIDE TO KILL THE HATE OF THE PAST, LOVE ONE ANOTHER, HOLD HANDS IN UNITY AND SEE OURSELVES AS BELIEVERS. THAT’S KINGDOM MINDEDNESS, NOT BEING CHURCHY.
Mark 16:17 says, And these signs will follow them that believe………….......
It didn’t say And these signs will follow them that are Charismatics
Neither did it say these signs will follow them that are Catholic
Nor did it say these signs will follow them that are Pentecostals.

Can we just love ourselves? Can we fellowship together as brothers? Can we look into the scriptures together in love and show ourselves the truth and help ourselves where we’ve gone wrong.

We are believers. That’s Kingdom mindedness. Forget these names we have carried from our ancestors for so many years. They were all adopted through the years based on culture and tradition.
Guess what Jesus said about culture and tradition in Mark 7 :13.

Nah, I won’t write that out for you. That’s your assignment. Go read it yourself. It’s an eye opener.

Cheers Mate.

My Boss (God) and I urge u to think about these things, act on them and forward this to everyone. Most especially your so called enemies.
Spread it faster than air. Let it go into Airtel, Glo, NCC, NBL, Sheraton, Hilton, Zenith Bank, Access Bank, ARIK, NIKE, FIFA, NBA, Havard, Yale, Universities, Colleges, Walt Disney, Wall Mart, Kia Motors, Mc Donalds, the Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Ifa worshippers, Scientologists, Sango worshippers, Selfridges, etc print it out for the market women, translate it to various languages but keep the originality.

Once again, im not a pastor or some religious leader. Just your friend next door that knows without a doubt that God is definitely more than we've been taught..

Glad I could be of some service. Cheers
Business / Lessons From A Brand Called "Lionel Messi" by dlawale(m): 8:02am On Nov 11, 2013
LESSONS FROM A BRAND CALLED "LIONEL MESSI"

At the age of 10, Messi faced a major threat to his soccer career; he had a growth hormone deficiency. This deficiency would limit his ability to cope with the physical demands of football.

Messi desperately needed growth hormones or risk his growth being stumped at 4ft 7in. Moreso, his father's health insurance was limited and couldn't cover the expensive treatment.

The story changed when Barcelona offered to pay for the hormone treatment in return for Messi signing for them at the age of 13.

Now, Messi is scoring, Barcelona is winning lots of games and both Messi and Barca are happy brands

LESSONS
1. People that invest in you while you are potential are very strategic to your life, future and destiny.
2. Make sure your deal is legally backed up to the tilt. Some get successful and forget the ladder that took them there. Seal the deal properly. Maximize your investment, don't forget, it's your investment. Money changes people, so have the foresight of milking your investment properly
3. With regards the corporate world, great employers MUST know how to see and mine the gold in their employees. There's a thin line between making it and not making it. It' called "Risk". Don't operate with the mindset that investing properly in your staff could mean training your future competition, or enhancing some1 that may leave you for another organisation. Small minds think that way.
4.In marriage, DON'T just complain about your husband or wife's weakness, invest in your spouse so as to reap the dividends yourself in the future.
5. Every one on earth has a greed. Sometimes its shocking but the multi-millionaire and billionaire will still want to wrestle you for a seven figure amount even when you made them an immediate 9 figure amount and a potential 10 figure amount after some years. Hmm, I'm talking from experience here. Be nice in business but ruthless with agreements. Money changes the voice notes of people. I politely conclude: The Billionaire is just another greedy person with excess money. They don't mind collecting your 50k. Shocking right..
6. There is a helper to every skill/gift/talent you carry. Never be hard headed with your gift/skill/talent thinking you'll negotiate equal percentage with an investor. You both need one another but the truth is you need the investor more than he needs you. Sometimes you have to be foolish enough in agreeing to be exploited for a season. Let them enhance your brand. That's all you need in life: "Brand enhancement." You can take off later on your own after expiration of agreement.
7. DO NOT sign the FULLNESS of your life over in agreements. Sign just a part over.... Lol. 
8. Record Breakers often look deficient in the beginning. In fact, most times they don't look like it at all... Messi didn't look like a living legend with his deficiency; Michael Jordan couldn't even make his school team; Dr Ben Carson was often rated the school dummy; Margaret Thatcher was regarded as a brand from the weaker sex; Our own Dame Patience Jonathan has some honorary Degrees/awards educated eggheads are craving for; Michael Jackson made a mistake with his zip being down and created a legendary dance move out of it; Mother Theresa, a woman without means raised huge funds round the world for the less priviledged. In fact,her death was well celebrated that 2 nations argued about her roots and where to bury her. I wonder who will argue about you when you leave this earth..

I'm not a Martin Luther King Jnr, but I too have a dream. I have a dream that one day, some day, people will realise that there is more to life than Money, husband/wife, posh cars,houses, your church, your mosque... If that was all there was to life, then 'MAN' must have been a "failed experiment."
There is more to your Brand than you've encountered. Find Purpose.... Ponder and feel free to share.

Religion / For Pastors/ For Your Pastors by dlawale(m): 9:43am On Oct 27, 2013
FOR PASTORS:
1. Few may not appreciate your impact, but many others do. Be encouraged, you've been wonderful coaches to us.
2. We say Thank you for tolerating our foolishness most times. Human beings are tougher to lead than goats especially when they know they are not being paid salary by those leading them. Its a free will followership and not corporate slavery. Thank you, for tolerating our back door gossip,insults etc. You hear these things and you still stand strong.
3. Big thanks to the elders of their time. Kenneth Hagin; Archbishop Benson Idahosa, Samuel Babalola; AA Allen; Smith W; John Paul 11; John G. Lake; Kathryn Kulhman; Oral Roberts etc. They did well for us
4. For those with churches, Kindly assist Itinerent ministries. The Gospel is a partnership,they can reach places you don't think of.
5. We salute you for being there. There are times you switch professions and many do not know. Sometimes, you have your way of acting like a doctor in a different way to the sick; acting like a financial adviser in a different way to people; like a psychologist and counsellor; like a Father/Mother; like an actor on pulpit to drive home your points; acting like cupid or a marriage counsellor; like a coach; like a shepherd with sheep who watches out for wolves; ... WE TRUELY CELEBRATE YOU. Yet we are not ignorant of some that have crept into your midst, who act like a LandLord to a Tenant(collecting rent(tithe) and not bothered how or where we got it); like a gigolo who is just concerned about milking people for his benefit. We are watching you, God is watching you too.
6. Enough love, honour and respect goes out to world changers like Oyedepo, Chris Oyakhilome, Creflo Dollar, E.A Adeboye, Kenneth Copeland, Paul Adefarasin,Jessie Duplantis, Mensah Otabil, John Hagee, Rod Parsley, Benny Hinn,Nicholas Duncan Williams,Sam Adeyemi,Kumuyi, Okogie, etc..There are many of you. For our sakes, kindly hand over the baton of this relay to a competent hand, who will watch out for us all and fulfill your heartfelt prayer of doing greater things than you.
7. To the mighty ones in the village, who have little or no access to the internet, Who many never get to read this. We salute you more than ever. You probably are not on TV for all to see but you are on heavens channel being applauded by a cloud of witnesses,just men made perfect,angels and the Almighty God himself.
8. To our beloved Pastors in the cities, kindly help take up projects in the villages. They don't have to be extensions of your ministry. They need financial help. Some will be excited to have a generator and adequate diesel for a year.. There's more to life than what you have created in the cities, there are souls in the villages too. Let's be Kingdom minded and not 'local church office expansion minded.' I trust you all in assisting our people out there. I'm sure, 1,2 or 3 person's tithe in your ministry can create a borehole in the village. Pls help. You've done a lot already, just add a little extra.
9. Many many years ago, some. of you were beaten, killed and maimed for the gospel. You held on and stayed true to what you believed. Today, our pastors are free men, living well and preaching everywhere. YOU are the true heroes. YOU are the extension of Hebrews 11. The 21st century pastor may not always remember to say thank you at times because of their busy schedules;...But,on their behalf, we say thank you. Thank you for not selling out, thank you for being 'foolish' enough to believe there's much more than the houses,cars, money etc planet earth has to offer. Each time there are major crusades and church services round the world where many lives are saved, we understand it wasn't just the awesome personality on pulpit but him in partnership with the foundational works you built many years ago. Thank you again and again. I know God because of you.
10. Dear Pastors (Fathers/mentors/role models/ spiritual. Guides/ coaches etc)... While in prayers In your churches,kindly take just 5 minutes out to pray for yourselves. Don't be shy, mention the denominations. Pray for the Methodist, Catholics, Pentecostals,Baptists,Anglicans etc... Its about the kingdom and not local assembly or denomination. All of you should pray for yourselves mentioning all denominations. It may seem strange but don't be shy in also mentioning names of various pastors, reverend fathers, vicars, etc. Come on..you know them by names. It's love and not competition. It's difficult to talk against those you pray for consistently. We may have different views but gradually we'll find unity, love and togetherness...It's all about my Jesus.

If you have a Pastor, feel free to forward this to him or her. We appreciate them and we also know some infiltrated their camps to make them look bad. It doesn't matter, we choose to stay focused knowing God and knowing that an alien presence will always be identified and known by those serious about this FAITH.

This is one of the first times I'm telling you to re-broadcast a write up. THEY ALL NEED TO KNOW, THEY ARE CHERISHED IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR BANK ACCOUNT STATUS, LANGUAGE, EDUCATIONAL QUALIFICATION, LOCATION, SIZE OF MINISTRY ETC

Simply your friend next door.

Religion / There's More To God Than This... by dlawale(m): 9:48am On Oct 16, 2013
THERE'S MORE TO GOD THAN THIS...

My wife woke up this morning with a statement thrown at me. She said she sat listening to a preacher on air and when he got to the part of prophesying for people to get employed in offices etc, she didn't bother saying Amen since she's now the type providing jobs for people. I simply said, there are some that desperately need it and the church REBRANDED towards it due to the poverty level of the nation. I also added that if she feels that way already, how do you think the Adenuga's, Otedola's etc feel when they come to a church whose message 90percent of the time is on acquisition or blessing of cars,jobs, houses, empire buildings, etc; which they already own, are tired of, have dashed out etc. They don't feel they need the word of God because those things are not THE TRUTH of the word but just a truth from the word of God. There's more to my God than the posh cars, piagets, SUV's, condos and hotels built, private jets and money. There's more to life than good looking females,the champagne popping people do. There's definitely more to God than the prayer points on jobs, wives/husbands, children, breakthrough etc... The musician said'. He's tired of the status quo, there's got to be more than this...
Dear Friends.... There is.

The first thing I'll like to let u know is,'the church is not for PERFECT people,the church is for PERFECTING people. The more we encounter knowledge,certain levels of ignorance fade away. Many Many years ago, some believers thought
1. It was a sin to watch TV.
2. The devil was in most light skinned ladies with braids
3.The use of certain soaps, roll on, make up and earrings were of the devil
4. If u dont come to church with your bible,your salvation is questionable and that means you are probably ashamed of the gospel.(The bible is on ipads,phones,etc today)
5. Anyone that changed his church of Worship had a wandering/'vagabong' spirit
6.Anytime,NEPA/PHCN takes light/power when a church program is about to happen,they start praying and binding the demon of electricity. Eventually,when God gave the church money and generators could be afforded,such prayers stopped. (So, there was actually no demon of electricity).. I could go on and on about the development we've experienced ...... It's the year 2013, and knowledge will expand once again. 10years from now,expect the church to have REBRANDED in some ways when it comes in contact with knowledge again... Hey,you may not like what you are about to read now but like I said, let's give it 10yrs. The TRUTH of God's word is surer than cash. Expect the following.
1.THE ANOINTING OIL: The oil is a good thing but its been over-emphasized beyond the power we have. The anointing can be communicated into the oil and it can also be communicated into the human being. There are two different containers. The bottle and our human vessel. The one communicated to a bottle will finish and you'll need to buy another bottle. The one communicated directly to me as a container can never finish and it will be well serviced. Oils and mantles are simply carriers which many carry everywhere like idol worshippers. My personal container(body) can retain all that.
2.THE COMPETITON AMONGST CHURCHES: John 17v21 says Father make them ONE that the world will believe in them.. The world sees us castigating ourselves. We turned church to competitive corporate organisations where we make it look like a sin if our member visits his friends church. God is definitely not an Anglican, Methodist, Baptist,Pentecostal,Catholic etc. He's too big for all that earthly foolishness. This subtle grievance in the body of christ leads nowhere. The Pentecostal believe they are the ones that know God, the Catholics believe they are the one true church Of God. As knowledge expands and love for God is encountered again in a different and greater dimension, we'll understand that its all about Jesus and not our self built religious empires. Kindly Rebrand.
3.THE CHURCH OPERATING AS A GOVERNMENT AS WELL AND NOT ONLY A PLACE OF WORSHIP: We've been blessed to enjoy teachings from the church. We've not yet had the opportunity of the Church growing to rise as a government for its people. Going straight to the point, God has financially empowered the church through people, the church also needs to service its people by empowering some of the genuine ones. The church is a big giver of spiritual things to it's people, it's high time it becomes a big giver in canal things to the genuine in need. The government of the federal republic may have failed its people but the government of the church shouldn't fail its people. Some awesome. Ministries have a larger budget than state governments. Be a distributor and not just a collector. We'll need an apology soon.
4. HEALING THE SICK: Teach us what you know and we'll still value you. The system of the world is to hide things so as to remain relevant. That may have crept up into church too. Mark 16v17 makes us understand that they that BELIEVE, will lay hands on the sick and the sick will have no choice but to recover; if some do swallow poison, poison has no choice but to die itself, etc.. Now, that scripture didn't say its for the Pastors, Bishops, etc. It's simply for them that BELIEVE. Healing the sick, casting out devils, raising the dead etc are generally for all. When Pastors do it, understand they are doing What you can do. They are meant to coach you and show you the way and not just tire themselves out with multitudes needing them. Listen, I confidently say this is THE TRUTH of the word. Ephesians 4v 11 says they are to perfect/ equip us for the work of the ministry.. We are the ones to be equipped and perfected for such things. They have bigger and weightier matters to attend to. Healings can be done via the believer's anointing. So, anytime you see them do this and you clap and marvel, get REBRANDED in thought to know they are doing what you are meant to be doing because you either refused to grow up, or they decided to hide it from you to promote their relevance. (I say that with a lot of respect)
5.PRAYER POINTS AGAINST A POWERFUL DEVIL: This is the only part that gets me angry. The bible says.. ALL POWER in heaven and on earth has been given unto me(Jesus). Jesus then turned round and gave it to us. ALL means ALL. Same Bible says God is your shield and buckler. A shield is a shield. That means anything that must knock you out must knock the Almighty God (your shield) out first b4 it gets to you.
6. TAKING A WORK TOOL OR SOMETHING FROM YOUR OFFICE TO CHURCH AS A POINT OF CONTACT FOR A SPECIAL PRAYER: For now, its tolerated, but like I said concerning the anointing oil above, I AM from my office. God didnt bless equipments, He blessed YOU and I. We are the blessing that comes in contact with any office equipment and infuses our God-like DNA on it for productivity. We carry this anointing. Our thinking and sunesis of the word of God needs upgrading and we'll expect an apology soon.
7. A POWERFUL SEED TO A POPULAR POWERFUL MAN OF GOD: Well, will this final point stop some invitations I get to certain ministries and corporate organisations. It may, but there's nothing like the TRUTH. Listen, the bible says the Just shall live by Faith. That means all we do is by faith. Seed sowing too is by faith. And there are levels of faith. Great faith,weak faith, strong faith and little faith. Now picture this, I'll use a lovely man of God that has gone to be with the Lord so you understand. If Archbishop Idahosa steps into our church, and that's when we decide to sow that big seed or probably empty our accounts-- That's good, but its not the FULLNESS of the word. The reason we did that was because we had seen a 'grand finished product' called Archbishop Benson. We've seen the works, the influence with people, the grand Ministry, financial status etc. Please understand that you and I have not operated via Great Faith when we gave that big seed cos of that. We have Operated by sight and sensory perception. We were jolted by what we had seen or heard. Blessed are those that do not see, yet believe. It's greater faith when you and I sowed into 'potential' with the eyes of the sirit and faith. Picture that man of God now who is potential but will obviously be a bigger TD Jakes in his time(The glory of the latter, surpasses the former). Don't forget,there was the lovely archbishop, but there are now many bishops who were simply potential then(all they had was the prophecy of their greatness) but have now surpassed the late man of God's doings. When you give, do it by faith and not by sight.

Hey, hope we're still friends after this and if we're not, then we'll probably rekindle the love10years from now. Apologies will be tendered and if they are not, corrections would have at least been made.

Religion / Blunt Thoughts For Yor Sunday by dlawale(m): 12:08pm On Aug 25, 2013
BLUNT THOUGHTS FOR YOUR SUNDAY....

1. The Church is not for PERFECT people, the Church is for PERFECTING people.
2. The Almighty God is not a Christian, neither is He a Muslim.. God is too big for religion. Discover Him
3. Jesus didn't die for Christians, He died for the whole world.
4. When a man says He loves his wife, its not true love if its just the Physical body he's focused on, cos the physical body can experience changes like the lady having 'spare tires' on her sides, the man growing a 'pot belly' from the 6 pack. The love, if true, is usually for things you can't physically touch. You probably love the character/attitude, composure, maturity, calmness, etc. That's why 50 years down the line, when there are changes in the physical body, the couple still say they are in love. WHY...They were in love with things they couldn't reach or touch but the only way they can communicate with the things they can't touch is via what they can touch and see(the physical body). Man is a Spirit, he has a soul and lives in a body. My wife's physical body is her 'earth container'. So, God is Spirit, He chose to live in us- The Church(not the building) is the body(Physical and spiritual) of Christ. So, if your love is to the church(Physical), it won't last because the church may experience changes,"pot belly", weakness, etc which you may not like. But if your love is directly to God who you can't see but expressed via the physical (church) which you see. You would ignore the "potbelly", "excess fat," "Liposuction" etc of the Church. Many divorces in marriage often occur because the love was to what they could see physically and when changes occurred in the spouses body, murmuring came.. Lots of people,Divorce their churches to remarry another because they were focused on Church(the physical) and not THAT which they couldn't see-GOD.
5. If Jesus died and never resurrected, He would have been a Failure. The death washed our sins, it didn't give us a new life, the resurrection gave us a new life in Christ. Hey, stop celebrating the fact that you are a believer. The original plan was every1 will be one. You have not achieved anything by that. Its like celebrating the fact that I'm a man. Of course, I'm a man. That was my design. There's more to life than being a believer. It's a start. Every1 has a purpose on the face of the earth. Many die not fulfilling purpose. Don't be a failure that simply enjoys church services/routine. There's more to God than we have been taught.
6. Listen, you are a first hand Christian, Muslim, Buddhist etc because you were born Into that environment and your parents were one and they nurtured you into it. That's okay for a while but each man must chart his course in life and discover THE TRUTH. All Religions have failed us because God did not design religion. He designed Intimacy and fellowship. Man created a religion out of his design. Like i said earlier, discovery of THE TRUTH lies in you. Eventually, you chose what you wanted to study in school after being of age, eventually, you chose the girls or guys u dated when u matured, eventually, you got away with choosing the kind of man or woman you wanted to marry though it wasn't their choice at first, you chose your job, you chose the sex styles with your husband or wife even though some 'trigger happy' parents advised their children on preparation for honeymoon (lol), you chose the food that entered your belly after you grew up. When it came to the MOST IMPORTANT decision in your life which had to do with God, you decided not to do find out more and chart your own path. You stayed a robot. Hey, heaven is real, so is hell. Many religions believe that. There are many mistakes you make in life, which you can come out from. In fact, you can go back to your parents house to blame them for certain mistakes like the numerous choices I mentioned earlier..... In the God factor, once you pass on, you're gone. No parents to blame... Do yourself a favour, sit back and be true to yourself. God doesn't answer the cry of a christian, muslim,etc. He answers the desperate cry of a hungry soul for him. If He's out there, He'll direct your path to how to know where you should be. Never Park up, in the same parking lot, your parents parked up in.. They did their best, but you must find the rest.
7. It's a sunday, a large percentage will be leaving church for home. Rice and chicken or Rice and fish is probably lunch for sunday... Hey, I know because we act like Robots on sundays and its been a tradition in most homes for decades. Lol.... They really got to our minds right. Bye,I'm going after my rice and chicken soon

Nairaland / General / Some DO Not's In Life... by dlawale(m): 1:51pm On Jun 09, 2013
Some DO NOT's in life....
1. Do Not criticize your Wife's faults; pause to consider that those faults may have prevented her from marrying some1 better than you.
2. Do Not pick a fight with someone not good looking,...they've got nothing to lose.
3. Do Not keep shouting at your house help and driver. Just teach them. If they knew better than what they know now, they wouldn't be your house help or driver. They'll probably be your friend/business partner.
4.Do Not be scored one of the richest person's in your community; yet you are not making impact. Making money and making impact are two different things.
5. As a pastor, Do Not think having crowds necessarily means you're on track. Movement doesn't necessarily mean advancement and expansion doesn't necessarily mean impact.(Opc, niger delta militants and boko haram also expanded). Simply put,after your awesome exit to be with the Lord,when its time, we will know via your members 2 years later, if you made global impact with the gospel or you made global impact with your self 
6. As an Imam, Do Not think humility is having a regular car and not the desired suv you want; an affordable flat,etc. Well, 2 my dear friends deep in the village living in mud houses without transportation, your lifestyle still looks luxurious. Humility is a facade when its built on things. Live your life and be at peace with your conscience. All men have been given one by God.
7. As a woman, Do Not accept the facade that your life consists of ipad,brazillian hair, bb, gossip, gold,non essentials and salary. No one knew you could weight-lift until you tried, no one knew you had skills in football till you attempted, no one knew you could run multi nationals till you displayed it. Never picture being the first female president a decade from now in this nation. Just picture being president. Thatcher was prime minister 3 consecutive times. She didn't remember she was female.
8. Do Not seek advise from everyone that is elderly. It's the 21st century and that means we have strange things in existence like 50 year old children. Maturity and wisdom is no longer in age. Be smart, wise and careful.

Enjoy life and stay away from drugs and you'll still be reading more of this in 2020 if Jesus tarries

Religion / Re: My Aero Flight Experience And Reasons Why You Cannot Die Yet by dlawale(m): 10:26pm On Feb 13, 2013
Dear Masonkz,
God is bigger than religion. I'm talking about the almighty God here. He's not a Christian, Neither is He a muslim, Buddhist etc. He rests solely in His word.
True, every1 has what they believe in. I believe in God and I know He saved me. That's the script of my life, The Hindu and others may have their script but in the script of my life, experience and scenario, the Almighty I know had a hand in me being alive today. Other people's thoughts of their forms of religion can't change that.

Cheers

My dear friend. Life is a choice. God has given us rights to choose either ignorance or wisdom. Life or death. When you quote scripture also, it's important to know the context. The original rendering of that scripture from the greek makes us understand that Jesus had to die once and for all for us. Explaining that is long story.. Also pls understand death has lost its sting. For Believers, we do not just die. Jesus, with spiritual maturity told his disciples that His friend Lazarus is asleep. They didn't understand his mindset.(Pls note that there are milk eating, meat eating and strong meat eating christians). Since the disciples didn't understand it, he got upset and thought,"how long will I be with you for you to understand spiritual maturity. Ok, Lazarus is dead." He needed to speak in their lower level of reasoning. Jesus wasn't happy..

Clicking is a choice. Dying(being killed like a hawk)is also a choice. Poverty is a choice. You choosing not to click the link is also well respected by me.. Nonetheless, everyone must get wisdom, though it costs us all, we should get understanding. I'll always click what u decide to send and its my choice to use it to add to my learning or inquire about it before I toss it out of the window..

Cheers
