chymeze: Read that very chapter again in 1 thessalonians 4:13-18, and you have to juxtapose these with events described in revelations and Daniel. Paul says when the trumpet is blown (he didn't even mention the LAST trumpet lolz), the dead in Christ will rise first and then we who are alive will meet them IN THE SKIES (not on the earth). There's a clear difference between the rapture and the second coming. The rapture describes how we meet Christ in the clouds and then the wedding feast occurs in heaven while the great tribulation occurs on earth for 7 years (this is where revelations comes in handy). The second coming of Christ implies the landing of Christ on EARTH with his SAINTS to fight the antichrist at the end of 7 years as clearly described in revelations and Daniel. Now if the rapture was the same as the second coming like you suppose, how can saints who are on earth (as described in thessalonians) come down from heaven at the same time to fight the antichrist (as in revelations and Daniel)? After the antichrist is defeated at the second coming then Christ and the saints will reign on earth for a thousands years. During this period the devil will be locked up to prevent him from deceiving the world. At the end of a thousand year reign of Christ on earth, the devil will be released from his prison, and this time he would go and gather his armies for the final fight against Christ at Armageddon. Of course he'd eventually be defeated and thrown into the lake of fire. Then the new earth will be unveiled from heaven by God as a bride. This is just a summary of the events that would take place till the end. Try to study in details the books of revelation, Daniel, Matthew 24 and 1thesalonians and they'd make perfect sense. Also the 7 trumpets in the book of revelations describes judgements and sequences of events that would occur on the Earth during the TRIBULATION (after the saints would have been raptured). These trumpets are blown in heaven from the very throne room of God and not from the SKIES of the earth as in the one that heralds the rapture. Shalom
Exactly my thoughts.the man shud remain calm and allow the SP to secure his position for him stress-free.
Drefaithful: If I were him, I will pretend as if nothing has happened and waited for the SP to waste his money on campaign and eventually win the election, thereafter I will approach Tribunal.
You are writing unnecessary long epistle because Bishop Oyedepo is involved. You guys hv erection once a pastor or church is involved in any subject. Who opposed Buhuari more than Oyedepo even before his election in 2015. Let ur criticism be constructive without bias. What he said is an undebatable fact and u know it.
immortalcrown: Medicine after death. You are talking now because the regime has almost ended. Even during 2019 election, you did not sound this way. Were you sleeping or was the regime good then? You are talking now because you know your statement will not work against them. You should have said it when it mattered, when they would have come after you, when your followers would have gained correction from the statement. Keep deceiving yourself.
Added People are quoting me saying he has been condemning Bubu since 2015. Please, how did he fight Buhari? On which date did it happen. The only time I know he spoke was when a pastor became a victim of the kidnapping in the North. Another time was when the government made a move to tax Churches. When did he fight Buhari concerning bad leadership in general? Please, inform me, give me links to his fight against Buhari. Do not tell me to go to Google oh. You might be saying the truth. So, give me evidence, apart from his reactions to kidnapping and taxing of Churches. Give me an evidence so I will be convinced my first paragraph is wrong. Post at least links to the evidence here. Do not tell me to use Google oh. And, the evidence should not be his reactions to kidnapping of a pastor and taxing of Churches. I already know those ones. If I get the evidence, I will add an apology as a third paragraph. But if no evidence is provided, those who insult me should keep ranting.
Added Again Imagine some people telling me Oyedepo has been the person most active in attacking Buhari. Please, where, when and how? When Mbaka was for Buhari and against GEJ, Mbaka was brave and direct in his statements. When the same Mbaka turned against Buhari, Mbaka was brave and direct in talking to Buhari. Oyedepo has not tried it even now. Oyedepo has not spoken like Bishop Kokah and many other religious leaders do.
People that were brave and honest mentioned Buhari or at least used "This regime" when they criticized this regime and when they warned people against voting for Buhari again. Oyedepo did not do such at all. Instead of being direct, he was ambiguous so nobody could attack him or prove he was talking about Buhari's regime. So, where is his brave fight against Buhari. People specifically called Buhari's name and said the bad things he does. Oyedepo was using a pronoun that no particular person could claim even in a law court. Is that how he sounds when talking about how God will deal with those who do not pay tithes? Does he sound ambiguous when talking about tithes? For example, if I say "An old man whose hand is shaking wants to rule Nigeria", many will assume I am referring to a popular presidential candidate. But a sincere person will not say I am bold or brave in the statement. People will know I am avoiding being direct in the statement. And nobody can use it to prove me guilty in a court. Oyedepo knows it and that is why he chose his words carefully and was not direct until now. For tithes, he would say "If you are a child of God and you not pay tithes....". But he never mentioned the name Buhari during the time you claim he was bravely attacking Buhari. Those who bravely attacked Buhari called his name many times and were direct in their statements.
I so much love the challenge I threw out this night. Those attacking me could not prove me wrong. They just uploaded videos I have already seen many times. I have watched the videos again this night to be sure I did not forget how Oyedepo sounded in those videos. None of the videos proves me wrong. In all the videos, the only part Oyedepo boldly directed his statement to this regime is where he said "Those in power "NOW" are against the Church". I already acknowledged that one in my first paragraph. Where he spoke about RUGA, he used the term "No government has the power to take people's land". In this case, even Buhari cannot prove Oyedepo was referring to this regime. He was not even bold enough to use the word "RUGA". Many people boldly mentioned Buhari and RUGA during the period. Oyedepo spoke in parable. So, where is his brave fight against Buhari? Where He spoke about a president, he said "that is my word to Mr. president". Nobody can use the statement to prove Buhari is the particular president he referred to. Any sincere person who understands English knows there is a big difference between "This" and "A" in a sentence. Oyedepo is well-educated. He knows the consequence of ambiguous statements and that is why he sounded ambiguous in those videos. He himself cannot deny it because he knows many educated people will publicly disgrace him. But this time around, he was direct and bold to use the term "This regime..." because the regime has already achieved its aim. Below are his words in the videos and the links to the videos.
"No government has the right to take people's land." No particular government or regime implied here
"Nigeria shall not see war."
"Whoever does not want Nigeria to rest will not rest." This can refer to anybody
"If you cannot do well, resign. That is my word to Mr. President. Even our Islamic friend are calling for him to resign." Abeg, which president? Even in a court of law, you cannot prove Buhari is the president implied here. There are many presidents in many countries and organizations in which there are huge crisis.
"You and your generation will nevr become refugees"
"A leader will sit down and be looking like mumu." Which leader? Even GEJ was directly called mumu. So, which leader is referred to here?
"I have not benefited a dime from any regime of this country."
"I knew we were going to face this situation." How is this a bold or brave statement against Buhari?
"It will take a dormie not to know the people in power now are against the Church" I already acknowledged that this is the only one that directly and boldly refers to Buhari's regime.
"Is it true they found 20 million voters cards? For who?" Not directed to a particular person.
"To vote for an evil man makes you an evil man." Which candidate or party is the evil? Even PDP was called evil by some people. So, which one is Oyedepo talking about?
"I will never belong to any political party."
"There will be dramatic changes in this election."
"Every scheme to run Nigeria down, the people involved will go down and never to rise."
"Do not vote opinion, vote your conscience."
"Do not vote anxiety, vote integrity."
"Do not vote fear, vote fair."
"I cannot afford to vote for wickedness"
"It is better to vote for a lesser evil where are two evils."
"Collecting 5000 for vote is wrong."
"Do not vote wickedness" Which candidate is the wicked one? Lovers of Buhari will answer Atiku and GEJ. Lovers of GEJ and ATIKU will answer Buhari. So, how is Oyedepo brave and direct in attacking Buhari here?
"Do not vote for the dead." Who is the dead? If you say Buhari, then you should be ashamed of yourself for hating Nnamdi Kanu. And the same Oyedepo has never taken side with Nnamdi Kanu.
"Do not vote enemies of the cross, vote for friends of righteousness."
"Do not vote war, vote peace."
"First time there was an attempt to rule the Church by a government. Otherwise they will start to determine which message you will preach."
"Many attempts on the church for the last four years. Are we not there when they were writing Arabic for police employment?" The same Church which I have already acknowledged.
How can this regime or Buhari claim any of these statements directly refers to him or to this regime? Only the one about Church directly refers to this regime. Does any of these condemn the leadership of Buhari in general the way Oyedepo did in this recent statement where he said "This regime..."?
Madam stop stumbling upon chats that are not yours. There is something called privacy. Learn to respect his privacy. Since u hv been stumbling upon d chats wat hv u achieved?. For the records I'm not encouraging in relationships

He completed some the projects as a governor under PDP. He had no problems with the party before defecting. He thought he was going be to the APC presidential flag bearer. The next governor will continue from where he Stopped.

Babe ure not less endowed, height does not limit anyone, it's ur mental capacity that does. Also it's not a good reason for considering prostitution.
According to the op, the man was semi conscious and could not take decision whether or not he shud be transfused in that state, however the JW usually have a legal document against blood transfusion called POWER OF ATTORNEY. Despite his unconscious state, if his wife presented the man's power of attorney, then the doctor must respect the decision he took even before lapsing into coma. But for an unconscious man without a power of attorney, the wife had no right to deny him right to life, at this point the doctor reserves the right to save the man.
Michelle70: Jonathan in time of plenty was wasteful.
As a business man, I know that the time of plenty is the time to plan for the future.
Nigeria case is lack of progressive leaders and tribalistic youths. Lagos is what it is because of leaders that plan for the future. look at China, when they were busy producing China phones, we make mockery of them that there products doesn't last, but today I am typing this with China phone and u are probably reading with Chinese phone.
2moro, ur children will still blame govt while ur voursemates could be millionaires

I don't support illegal businesses such drug peddling, but I'm yet see someone from d North arrested for drug peddling. And I know these guys can sniff anything, yet no one from that part of the country gets arraigned by the NDLEA. Isorite
PHYNO should hv displayed some maturity instead. The arrogance was not called for. HEADIES is our own and we should make it prestigious and admirable like Grammy. Big thanks to superstars like 2baba, Darey and the one and only baba nla (Wizzy baby ) for gracing the event despite the organisers' poor output
This man in no doubt was an exceptionally good man. Only few officers see the rank and file guys as fellow humans and treat them as such. I hv seen several pictures of him and his boys, and the way flock around him is amazing. Rest in peace great hero
This country ends in 2016 obviously. You sell national assets to finance 2016 budget, then you will sell d country to finance 2017 budget. I now know why Buhari persisted to rule this country. But God will not allow his evil intentions for this country
Pls u guys should spare this family for Christ'sake. This is something an average parents do for their kids and no one blinks. Why is this baby's birthday celebration so peculiar than the ones some of u wailers attended today?
