Sorry, but that's not worshipping God. That's self entertainment.

When you go into a church and

1. The music is meant to entertain you

2. The preaching of the pastor is meant to entertain you

3. The songs are all meant to entertain you

In short everything from beginning to end is directed towards YOU, even the miracles and the testimonies are directed at you,

How then can you say you are worshipping God?

Beware, God is not fooled.

There can be only one true way to worship God. God does not exist or thrive in chaos or disorder.

Your drumming, your dancing, your "speaking in tongues", your going to service on Sunday entertains you more than glorifies God.

Probably the only difference between a church service these days and a regular owambe is that there is some Bible reading.

Otherwise, the pastor can easily be mistaken for an MC who is well versed in comedy lines and motivational speeches.

And the music itself?... Oh la la.. Don't even lemme go there.

No wonder we leave Church on Sunday and by Monday morning we are already empty spiritually.

No wonder the rate of crimes is directly proportional to the number of churches and mosques on our streets.

God help us.

Sigh. So many shidren running amok on religion section these days.

All these atheist-because-of-hunger, may God have mercy on you.

Anyway, OP, can I ask you a question?

If you were about to have sex with a beautiful and sexy babe and as you were about to enter her she whispers into your ears "I have AIDS". What would you do?

That is when you'll realize that you can actually exercise restraint when it comes to sex.

Sexual urge is not like hunger for food or thirst for water.

You can actually live without having sex for the rest of your life if you wanna.

But not so food. (Though I dare say there are people who actually have existed and still exist who live without physical sustenance of food).

orisa37:
The Spirit of death that you see pervading Nigerian LandScape doesn't really worry Born Agains 'cos Death is a Transition to Eternity.

Actually it should worry them because the deaths are prevalent in the mostly Islamic north, that means majority of them don't believe in Jesus Christ.

It should worry any good Christian.

The reason why most people will go to hell is because of just one thing. SEX. Dasall.


It's so bad even contemporary "Christians" see the occasional fornication and masturbation as normal. After all body no be wood. We are the ones that will occupy the Church on Sunday, wear the neatest clothes, dance the best in church, sing wonderfully well and then on Monday, we are back to fornication, or adultery or masturbation or pornography or whatever tickles our fancy.


We console ourselves that "after all, everybody does it", " body no be wood", et al.


For most supposed Christians we live what is called a double life.


We fornicate and masturbate on the week days and then on Sunday we wear our Sunday best and appear in Church. A classic case of Judas betraying his Master again for a few pieces of silver.


I think most Christians think that their good actions if plenty enough will cancel out all their bad actions, you know, like the short division we were taught in primary school.


Sorry folks, it doesn't work that way. You can have a billion good works in your account but only one deadly sin can send you to hell. And don't think that because Jesus died for you so you can sin as you like, after all Jesus has kuku died for me so I can't go to hell. I pity your destiny. If that's what your pastor has been telling you, then your pastor is avidly searching for a bunk mate in hell for himself. Run.

I needed to get that off my chest.

Now can I get an amen sombori? Now re-tweet this before I call down fire and brimstone... Oh sorry this ain't twitter. Ok. Bye.

rainmaker12:


Oh now I see. Apostates, clearly. I'm out!

Are you a member of Jehova Witness?

tartar9:
In summary,Jesus lied when he said don't call him good;He's actually good,and since the only good person is God.Therefore,Jesus is God!

If he lied then he was no longer good, then he isn't God?

In actual fact that verse the op quoted is a lesson in something.

A lot of Jesus's actions was to TEACH us about a particular virtue or the other.

Humility, the Queen and Foundation of all virtues was what Jesus Christ was teaching there.

Don't let people praise you that you are good because in reality only God is good and whatever good works you do is only possible because God has given you the grace to.


If you need biblical proof of the Divinity of Christ, you may want to start from the old Testament, precisely 500 years before the birth of the Redeemer.

Prophet Isaias said of Him 500 years before His birth

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

cf Is 9:6

Then moving swiftly to the first chapter of the Gospel of the Apostle John we have a theological summary of who Jesus IS.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

cf John 1:1

Only ignorant people pick up the Bible as use it as a means of proof against the profound truth of Christianity. And the only way you can read the Bible is to read it in consonant with the Church. Personal interpretations are invalid and would probably be erroneous without the input of the authority of the Magesterium.

Business center niyen. I hope they will give them receipts too.

All these mushroom miracle centers be leading people to hell since inception.

What a horrible way to raise a child.

You didn't tell us why your own biological parents treated you that way while they treated your other siblings differently.

My guess is that the man is your dad and the woman your stepmom. That's the only explanation that makes sense.

Anyway, the only thing you can do for her is to pray for her salvation. There's nothing you can tell her that will help her. She has a bitter old soul filled to the brim with hate. Pray for her soul.

Whish kain tin be dis now??

Hopefully the win in Ekiti will not automatically translate to a win for Buhari in 2019.

It's great that Fayose lost in Ekiti. It's time to kick Buhari back to his village in Daura.

Please take time to read this message to all Nigerians of goodwill:


“The buck stops here” is a phrase that was popularized by U.S. President Harry S. Truman, who kept a sign with that phrase on his desk in the Oval Office. The phrase refers to the notion that the President has to make the decisions and accept the ultimate responsibility for those decisions.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buck_passing



The TakeitBack (Sowore2019) Movement strongly condemn the statement credited to President Muhammadu Buhari, in which he was quoted as saying that he should not be blamed for the spate of violence rocking the country. A statement released by the President’s spokesman, which has not been denied, read: “As President Buhari indicated lately, there is evidence of involvement of some politicians using criminals to perpetuate the killings. – http://punchng.com/herdsmen-attacks-we-have-evidence-politicians-are-behind-the-killings-presidency/

In another statement, the president was quoted as saying: “When some (people), for clearly political purposes, attempt to suggest that this government is doing nothing about the killings and that I, being Fulani, must be encouraging these satanic acts, it seems to me that there is no limit to the evil in the minds of men.

“Otherwise, how can anyone in their right minds suggest that I, as an elected President even with substantial votes in the affected areas, will for any reason do harm by an act of omission to those same people?

“Secondly, the problems in all these areas, as you all know, are historical. There is no administration that has not had to contend with killings in these same areas over the years.

“Indeed, in 2001, you may recall that after thousands were killed in Plateau State, a state of emergency was declared and a governor was replaced by an administrator. To suggest that our administration is doing nothing is terribly unfair.

Another statement credited to the president read: ‘‘I will continue to pressurise members of the law enforcement agencies directly under me by the Constitution as the Commander-in-Chief. About 8 days ago, we had five hours of security meeting of the service chiefs and the IG of Police.

What happened here in Jos is very bad. The question of leadership, from your household to whatever you are, is justice. The bottom line is justice. That is why wherever I go, I will always appeal to the leadership of the communities, the law enforcement agencies to always have control of their constituencies.

Whatever is being given to the media, we have to be very responsible about it. Take for instance the situation in Benue. The Benue subsistence farmer knows that the Nigerian cattle herder that he knows doesn’t carry nothing more than a stick, occasionally sometimes something to cut grass to feed his cattle.

But the present herder, I am told, carries AK47 and people are even blaming me for not talking to them because maybe (they say) I look like one of them. There is some injustice in these aspersions.” – http://punchng.com/its-unjust-to-say-im-silent-on-killings-by-herdsmen-buhari/

It beggars believe that Nigeria’s Executive President could make (or be credited) such outrageous statements.

Why does President Buhari think that Nigerians need history lessons when he should be providing them with security?

It is incredible that the Executive President of Nigeria can, without a hint of irony, tell citizens that he has evidence of law-breakers, without telling them what he has done about it.

President Buhari, who do you expect to arrest those who break our laws and threaten our national security?

What citizens expect in times of national grief is a Leader who shows clear empathy and is seen to have a strong commitment to stop the suffering of his people.

Alas, President Buhari’s legendary aloofness suggests an uncaring, emotionless leader who cannot relate to his own citizens at a feeling level. Unfortunately for Nigerians, our president continues to cut the picture of an Automaton!

Sadly, Nigerians are saddled with a leader who appears to be totally out of his depth. His whole body language makes him look pathetically clueless.

One does not need a degree in Security and Defence Studies to know that Nigeria currently suffers from very serious security lapses.

The ease with which armed men roam the length and the breadth of the country and kill with apparent ease clearly demonstrates that our security apparatuses are not up to par, and badly need serious rejigging.

Alas, the president, a former army general and a man who rode to power on the strength of his military background, appears to be unable to fathom the depth of the problems that confront the nation.

Unfortunately, our Elderly president appears not to know that the Buck Stop at His Desk!

What Nigerians want to see in their Chief Executive are not emotional outbursts, but concrete steps being taken to make them feel safe and secured.

What exactly does President Buhari expect citizens to do with all the unintelligent statements credited to him?

Citizens want to feel safe in their homes, farms, places of work and on the streets of their Hamlets, Villages, Towns, and Cities.

Unfortunately, under President Buhari, life in Nigeria has become truly Hobbesian – nasty, short and brutish. Innocent Nigerian lives are being wasted in numbers that would shock even war combatants.

And all that President Buhari could offer citizens are illogical banalities.

Does one need to remind our president that he is the Commander in Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, or that he is the only one who his constitutionally empowered to deploy the forces that are necessary to guarantee the security and safety of Nigerian citizens?

Quite illogically, the president blamed external forces for the herdsmen violence, and yet went ahead to propose the setting up of ranches.

It is indeed sad, ridiculous and most embarrassing to see Nigeria, a once very vibrant country, a country whose citizens are noted globally for their confidence and enterprising characters, being led by a leader who cannot do anything better than to read handouts crafted by his retinue of fawning court-jesters.

The progress of a nation is determined solely by the quality of its leadership – Rwanda is the latest testimony. We can also cite the examples of Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and, of course, China.

Wherever a people had wrought economic, social or political miracles, it is the Leader that dazzled citizens with the brilliance of his architecture and carried citizens along as the Leading Light. Another incontestable fact is that this miracle is possible within a generation.

Rwanda today is Africa’s leading light. About 23 years ago, the country was on her knees, ravaged by one of the most brutal civil wars in history. Not only has Rwanda firmly buried the ghost of the past, the country today leads Africa in almost all the indices of development. All thanks to the Exemplary leadership of President Paul Kagame.

The task before us as Nigerians is stark: how do we intend to make progress and join the rest of humanity in building a safe and prosperous country with a leader that does not appear to grasp the urgency and the exigencies of the times?

We can forgive our Elderly president his seeming aloofness, what is unpardonable is to continue to be led by a man who is not only emotionally incapable of leading us, but one who is clearly intellectually and mentally unfit to do so?

A Nigeria that seeks progress cannot afford to be led by a Mental Lilliputian and an Intellectual Dwarf!

The TakeitBack (Sowore2019) Movement says it is time to take Nigeria back from the claws of a vicious, visionless, clueless, and irredeemably corrupt otiose elite.

APC and PDP are the same. Fayemi won't be much different than fayose. Politicians after their own belly. I've giving up on Nigerian politicians. I only detest nincompoops, who see nothing wrong in kidnapping their own sitting governor, come to pontificate over yoruba matter

I concur.

gypsey:
Serves her right, next time she will sure to be at home cooking instead of galavanting the streets at Night. Olosho!

Missed your meds again?

This is so sad. People like the culprit shouldn't be allowed to exit this world without a great amount of torture.

They should be made to feel piain in every inch of their bodies.

sisisioge:


Chai! Your sin that heavy! Double chai

You fit epp me beg Seun?

I'm only happy that Fayose lost. I'm not sure exactly if Fayemi will make any real difference. These politicians always have a way of disappointing you. Maybe because they only prepare to win elections but never prepare to lead.

Please security agencies should have Fayose in their sights 24/7 to forestall his disappearance. Tankiu.

Howdy? Them never release your original Elsonmorali

CSTR1005:
I don't want to go tribal, but if your husband is Yoruba, then you need to be more careful.


Yoruba men don't even hesitate to move on. They move on very quickly.


Igbo men still wait a little while longer.

And this actually made sense to you? Like for real? I mean, really really?

I am not a blogger who wants traffic, you can choose not to believe if you want, i just need advice and other options,

Maybe you should tell us what the heated argument was all about. That's the only way you can get unbiased advice.

In the meantime, it is good that the house is in your name only if the money used was your own share of the business proceeds. He used his for his parents, despite prior agreement. The house belongs to you and that is final.

If you had used yours for your parents the house won't be there for him to do shakara about. So he should park well abeg.

dingbang:
How did you manage to put your name as the owner or the house without letting him know? You are a snitch

Do you even know the meaning of "snitch"?

Smh.

Please go back and post on that person's page that it's very possible for a woman with 12 kids to enjoy sex.

She needs to do kegel exercise regularly and she'll be amazed. You can thank me later.

I guessed the APC learnt from you. They must have borrowed your 2014 handbook on ways of rigging an election and police intimidation.

It must be painful to watch people do to you what you did to others in the past.

All talk no action.

Dreams are proof that man's consciousness lives on after death.

Wow. This is amazing. Reminds me of that Lannister guy on GOT.

You can be whatever you wanna be even as a dwarf.

Eyin temi. This is the man to vote for.

You vote for any of those "experienced" thieves in government and you have sold your children's birthright.
