Revelation 13:16-17 - And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: (Read More...)
Northern Nigerian Christians are the most persecuted all over the world.
It reached its peak in 1998 when Boko haram came up.
What actually made some people to come together and formed a terrorist gang to kill people are the hatred and the pains they, received daily by sighting Christians around them. Nothing is more hurtful to an islamic jihadist than hearing Christian drums and songs. It hurts the demon in them.
Borno state has to 27 local governments.
Christianity has a very long history in Borno.
Since the beginning of boko haram, about 80% of churches in Borno have been burnt down or destroyed. More than 90% of the Christian communities have been attacked, their female children have either been killed, kidnapped and enslaved and married to Islamic jihadists.
Their male sons have either been killed, kidnapped and forced to convert to islam and join boko haram.
Borno state is littered with widows. The world only know of Chibok girls. Chibok is only one community among many. Borno state is a hell where the devil lives. The press dare not enter this villages to interview people thus the atrocities of the anti christ is under reported. The people are left to their fates. Some have converted , to spare their lives. Some have denied Christ just to see if boko haram can spare them. In all these, some people are still going to Church. Some people have not bowed and they refuse to bow.
A woman who has lost her husband and her son to boko haram and her daughter married away to a jihadist still have reasons to go to Church and identify with Christ, knowing that her own life will be gone soon.
Abandoned by their southern brothers, who placed more importance in doing missionary works in South Africa, europe, Asia and America, the borno and northern christians have been left in the eyes of the beast, the anti christ.

It's only we in the North can fully grasp your point.

Anyways, God is with us and we won't relent on serving Him.

Sorry, the Southerners didn't abandon them, many missionaries today are in the North...about two months ago some missionaries pay a visit to one typical village in Abuja, when I said typical you should understand what I mean.

This is a place where there's no school, health center, even one single church.

No one in the village can speak broken English not to talk of Fluent English. In fact, they speak Hausa sparingly, the Hausa interpreter who went with them still find it difficult to convene his message.

Anyways, the peace of Christ will continue to be with all missionaries on the field.

please share d link

Actually I couldn't remember the link again but you can just search for "Three Gorges Dam" to read or watch the documentary video.

Is this another planet or the same earth naija and china both share?
Nigerian leaders are still far far back when it comes to infrastructure while their counterparts in other countries are already in year 2050.

When we're talking about country that has her citizens at heart unlike ours whose leaders are only for their pockets.

When I watched a documentary about China Biggest Dam I understand the reason to have good and honest person at helm of government.

The Dam was 2km long and 60 storeys tall.
It will take 40,000 workers and 17 years to build and when it fully comes online, it'll generate 20,000MW of electricity for over 20 millions Chinese.

The amazing things about this Dam are:
1) The Chinese government has to relocate millions of people that will be displaced at the back of the river from the flood.
2) because of the large volume of the water that'll be retained, the dam will actually slow down the speed of the earth thou just by fraction.
3) The river is the longest river in China and one of the river for trade and transportation.
So because of this the trade and transportation activities will be disrupt and blocked after completion.

Guess what they do.....
They have to create artificial lift (like an elevator) for both the cargo ship and passenger ship.

For the cargo, it's a series of lock gate and the ship will be there for like 3-4 hours after filling the basin with water, this will lift the ship and take it to the other side of the river but for the passenger ship, this is too slow and taking much time.

So they have to build, a special lift where both the ship and the basin will be lifted by a very gigantic elevator to the other side of the river in less than 30mins.

oogbiko:
I am very abreast with the developments in battery technology, and you and I will agree it is centered on energy storage. What fossils represent the most are energy generation and that is where it holds sway in the industry, right now, there isn't any other energy generating means that is more productive... Back to the major points you raised about batteries lasting long, what you should note is that the longer it lasts the higher it requires energy for full charge, at best solar gives you 6 to 8 hours of peak charge, except there is going to be a great improvement in battery charging technology in such a way that it doesn't damage the batteries, then solar would not be the most reliable of sources, forget about wind and hydro, you will fall back to fossils.


the technological advancement I expect should be in generating energy. Someone raised Nuclear energy as a point, but the politics with nuclear energy and the volatility of not just the sector but the product means there might not be much of a development in that region... we are all still wary of a fully nuclear earth.

cc MedicH

@bolden part is the main emphasis here!

Trust me, their is a serious research about fast charging.

Wait until next year when 5G network is rolled out in full capacity and you'll the face of these hidden technologics surfacing one after the other.

oogbiko:
I agree with him, despite the rise in other energy sources, the continuous demand for energy means fossil fuel will remain relevant well into early 2100s, the US knew this that was why there was an aggressive investment into Shale oil, but I predict that within the late 2000s to early 2100s a totally new, high capacity form and source of energy will be discovered that will totally eliminate and replace fossil fuels. That is the future Nigeria should be preparing for.





Meanwhile to better your energy chances, get a transformer today!

After you realize that there's a rise in other energy source you can still agree with him.

There's a breakthrough in Li-on cell battery (the main storage medium for green energy) already, what they are trying to achieve now is extending it's life span because the current Li-on battery has a cycle of 3000 which means the battery will die off within 5-10years, but research is on going to replace the Graphite in current Li-on battery with Silicon, if this is achieved which will extend the Cycle to 10000, you'll see massive explosion in green energy that you haven't seen before.

Because with 10,000 cycle it means the battery can last more than 20years

Mind you, they have already seen the potential in Silicon to replace Graphite, which means btw now and 2025 the achievement will show face.

Days of Lot Are Here Upon Us:

"Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded" (Luke 17:28).

"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire" (Jude 1:7).

"And the same is happening around the world today! The people are dull of hearing the truth!"

"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold" says the Holy scripture.

Is he very close to the Mars or our Moon, which one?

Smithwilliams826:
The 11disciples of Jesus Christ, after receiving the spirit of God and began speaking in tongues, they spoke in different languages and the people understood them. All what they said, everyone (non believers and believers) at that time understood what they said, some thought they were drunk and thousands of people repented. Why is it that in this our modern time, people who are speaking in tongues, whenever they speak we who are listening won't understand a thing? All what we hear is Shakamalariammwas.... and so on.

The problem some of you have is that you don't read scripture with indepth understand.

If you read the passage where the Apostles were said to be speaking in tongues.... You will read where it was stated that "....and began to speak with the OTHER TONGUES, as the Spirit GAVE THEM UTTERANCE"

So it's the TONGUE that the Spirit gives you'll utter.

What if the Spirit didn't give you the language others understand?

Apostle Paul shield more light on this by saying "some were given the gift of INTERPRETATION of TONGUES", so if there's a need for INTERPRETATION of TONGUES then your assertion is wrong.

Chukwurah003:
Seemingly educated people falling for PDP propaganda. smh

Funny enough, this is exactly what you people said when Ambode issue started like small fire!

You accuse PDP until last minute when Ambode "once the best performing Governor" in Nigeria suddenly became the most ridicule one just because he couldn't secure the support of one person.

dragonflyy:
Christian apologists (well, most of them) like claiming that the universe is too complex to have not been created by an intelligent being. what most of them usually look over is the quality or the attributes of said being. hypothetically, a supreme intelligence capable of manufacturing a complex universe should be complex himself. such a being cannot just appear out of nowhere, thus, my question to the religious apologists: WHO CREATED GOD?

To apply the word "CREATE" to God in the first place is a wrong application if you take the universe to be created by God.

Just like asking, if man manufactured car, who manufactured man?

Your question would've been reasonable if you asked "How did God come to be?"

Gideon97:
And we should follow these people based on spiritual experiences they claimed they've had? I'm sorry, if these people cant give any tangable observable evidence for their claims then what good are they? A christian's word is just as good as muslim's or a Hindu's.

@bold especially @underlined is where you missed it.

Nobody says you should FOLLOW ANYBODY but that you yourself can experience it if you follow the procedure.

The difference between Christianity and the ones you mentioned is that, The true God of the universe has been manifesting Himself to different people from different tribe, nation and race for ages.

Gideon97:
How do you know. Like how do you know anything of what you believe or sY is true?

Because people who are spiritually inclined have experienced it themselves.

kpakpandoN:
Those who consider suicide as a viable option for handling the hardships of life do not realise that death is not the end of life. In other words, there is life after death. Job was a man who held on to this truth, even though he faced unprecedented calamities in his life. He said in Job 19:26:
“And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:”
There are two benefits of knowing and accepting that death is not the end of everything in life. One of these is that a person is compelled to behave wisely, knowing that he or she will face God’s judgment after death. Hebrews 9:27 says:
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
Also, when we realise that death is not the end of everything, it gives us hope of a better life beyond this world. This hope kept Job going in spite of the tragedies that befell him (Job 19:25-27)

I am happy to announce to you that not only is there life after death, there is also a coming event called the resurrection of the dead. The remarkable thing about the resurrection of the dead is that not only shall the just resurrect, the unjust shall also be resurrected to receive the rewards of their deeds in this world. Jesus said in Revelation 22:12:
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
Armed with this knowledge, if I were you, I would engage in good works that would earn me great rewards when Jesus returns.

Are you going through any form of affliction at the moment? You need to know that it will not last through eternity. Indeed, it has its own expiry date. So, don’t give up; just keep pressing forward towards the finishing line. Our Lord is coming soon to wipe away all your tears. Are you contemplating suicide as a means of escaping your crisis? Please don’t think of it anymore, because death is not the end of everything. All you need to do is reflect on the manner of life you have lived hitherto, and this will help you identify those things that are responsible for your present predicament. Once you ascertain those things, lay them all at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ. Don’t ever believe that suicide is an escape route from crisis. Eternal crisis is awaiting everyone who refuses the salvation that Christ’s atoning work has earned for mankind. Have you received this precious gift? Accept Jesus into your life today and let His atoning Blood wash away your past into the sea of forgetfulness. Receive the peace of God into your life today in Jesus’ Name.
Written by Pastor E.A. Areboye.

Apostle Paul has said it all

1 Corinthians 15:19 "If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable."

Barristter07:
Address that Genesis 22:12 and stop been silly

So command his household automatically becomes choosing to know they will follow his command or not. ?? U just too dull .

God himself command and people still choose to obey or disobey.

If not because sawdust full your brain....you would have known that the emphasis isn't on WILL COMMAND but that God ALREADY KNOWS what Abraham can do.

If God already chose to know ALL matters of Freewill, Explain the words " NOW I KNOW " that he told Abraham ??

Look at the @underlined again...then rush inside pick all your credentials and throw them inside river because it's a waste.

If God chooses not to KNOW ALL MATTERS OF FREEWILL, how can He judge EVERY SECRETS of man?

Genesis 22:12
Then he said, "Do not lay a hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your only son from me."

Instead for you to simply say, you lack scriptural knowledge and you need enlightment.

Firstly, no single things is hidden or can caught God unaware in the universe.

Secondly, the fact that He allowed some things to happen doesn't mean He didn't know them before hand nor give verdict on it. Everything that happened, happened to the best knowledge of God....

Thirdly, God is dealing with human not Himself, so you should expect to see some certain human character being applied to God, like when David says "Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep"

Lastly, just as you agree that God decided not to destroy Satan after his rebellion against God because Satan throw a challenge and God wants everyone to SEE THAT SATAN WAS WRONG is the same thing that happened in the case of Abraham...Abraham is called the FATHER OF FAITH and God wants us TO SEE THE REASON he was called THE FATHER OF FAITH.

That's why Moses said in Deu 29:29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law."

Enough of Bible study....class will resume later!

Janosky:
God foreknew the Israelites were stubborn & stiff neck, who will forget the true God, and worshipped the golden calf, their murmurings caused Moses to miss the Promise Land, yet he rescued them from bondage in Egypt.. and even begged them to choose life/death. Deuteronomy chapter 28....

God foreknew that King Solomon will seize to worship Yahweh& become an idol worshipper influenced by his foreign wives, yet ,Yahweh made him king & blessed him immensely.

God foreknew that king Manasseh will be a very brutal king whose reign was notorious for bloodshed and unprecedented violence and idolatry..... Yahweh never interfered....

Yahweh foreknew that Steven will die a martyr, yet he never intervene.....
Yahweh foreknew that king David will arrange Uriah's murder and kolobi the man wife, God no even stop David...
God foreknew Genghis Khan, Hitler, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, will cause mass genocide in their political power ,Yet , Yahweh no stop them..
Janosky, the brainwash no get sense......

God knew people will kill Jesus yet He still allowed him to be born.

In fact, He didn't only know prior to that time but already SLAIN HIM before the foundation of the world.

Answer this, is there ANYTHING UNDER HEAVEN that can be hidden from God?

That God allows/permits some thinge to happen, doesn't mean He didn't know or approve it.

They're many verses in the scripture that centered on how NOTHING CAN BE HIDDEN FROM GOD.

This verse should enlighten your dark knowledge "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law." Due 29:29

So whatever was revealed in the scripture is for we human beings NOT FOR God.

Barristter07:
Must you always disgrace yourself

Kindly address the bold., If he used the power all times ... Why the statement " NOW I KNOW "?

Just like I said, watchtower is damaging your reasoning faculty.

Did God know THE END from the Beginning? Did you address that in my post before you asked yours?

Before Gen 22 you quoted, in Gen 18:19 "God already knew how Abraham will command His household and children to keep the way of the Lord...

So if you lack scriptural understanding, ask those who can help you.

Barristter07:
You have a good thinking ability, But i think u have also been deceived by religion to think God over ride mans freewill by knowing his future from start

Just as watchtower organization is destroying your thinking faculty.

The bolded is where u Got it all wrong , That God has the power to foreknow doesn't mean HE USED IT ALL TIME , God use something called Selective foreknowledge . that means he Choses NOT to know some things before

Imagine this very pathetic statement.....no wonder you can swallow every gebbrish watchtower dishes out for your.

God who knows "THE END from the beginning"

If He didn't use it ALL THE TIME...why is He God then?

Consider when Abraham nearly sacrificed Isaac, the Bible said God said to Abraham " NOW I KNOW " that u are faithful . Emphasis on Now uKnow ( Genesis 22:12) , Isn't that an evidence that He allow us to use our freewill on certain matters ? That applies to Adam and Eve .

Deluded JWs, that's how you people will just pick one verse from the scripture and use it to nullify every other facts in the scripture yet claiming to know scripture than everyone else.

I don't even how it sound in your ears saying "That God has the power to foreknow doesn't mean HE USED IT ALL TIME" very contradictory statement.

How do I locate PETRA DIGITAL PRESS Along Games Village beside APC office. I want to go there from Finance Bridge

Enter any Area 1 car, then the one going to Begger from Area 1 (or might still be the same car), alert at Galadimawa Round About... You can take keke to Games village.

May God be praised forever!

Pastor Han the martyr of our time....April 30, 2016

EtihadAirways:
Please how do I locate the place from Area 11 or Finance Bridge?

Little research I did shows it's KUKAWA CLOSE not STREET. so if you enter "Along" from Bannex, stop at Gimbia Junction, go through the Gimbia street to the end of the road which is a T-junction take a right turn, then go down a little bit take your first right turn again. Then at the next T-junction take your right turn also and finally take your left (you're on the close, you can ask for the house number).

Check the attached pix, the red star is Gimbia street.

SetrakusRa:
Hi guys..

Pls, how can I get to kukawa street, Area 11, Garki from Zuba??

Quite Urgent

Enter Begger from Zuba then alert at Bannes, then enter along from there you can find your way.

solite3:
You should start doing more thinking and less talking.
Things being created through Jesus is not the issue.
You are arguing against yourself.
The bible says All things was created through Jesus not some things.
Was the father created?
As far as anything is called created then it came through christ and without christ no created thing would exist that means Jesus was never created.
Do you understand now?

Brother you have time for these brainwashed JWs sha...

They can't reason for themselves that's why they argue blindly.

Look at the point you raised....which is exert fact John 1:3 stated: "All things came into existence through him, and apart from him not even one thing came into existence." NWT

Look at the two @underlined phrases and see how deluded they are, if it has possible for them to insert word like "OTHER" into that text like they do to others they would have done so.

I've used this line to reason with them both on this forum and one on one before yet they are still swimming in their self delusions.

How can you say Christ was FIRST CREATED and scripture keeps saying ALL THINGS came through same first created being.

Ask them how do they understand John 1:3 and see funny answers....

I'm so impressed with this man's policies.

This is how a leader should be ruling and very open-minded.

May the spirits of Nigeria's politicians never enter you sir!

hoopLA:
When will your inherent stewpidity ever leave you?

So the promise of tithing (earthly riches and prosperity) suddenly has vanished into thin air, and tithes and offerings are now taken into isolation?

Oga, just keep quiet, while people are gradually coming to their senses.

The brainwash trip is slowly coming to its end. People are waking up.

Benny Hinn has been at the forefront of this warped gospel where there is emphasis on financial investment. Now our own pastors have taken it too far.

Instead of you to shut your trap, you come here, trying to extricate those mammon driven frauds from the malaise they have plunged Christianity into.

You are a fraud.

You didn't get his message but you start to him different names.

Where in the article Hinn stated that Tithe and Offering are part of prosperity teaching? But the blogger had to add that to color his article.

Whereas when reading Hinn statement, one can deduce that it's all about "SOWING SEEDS"

Rilwayne001:
And you think these men will fold their arms while any person lead a revolution?

Sowore is still in cell oh.

The only way they (these men) can come in is to buy the heart of the leading team. That's why I said uncompromising person!

Sowore didn't pass any message before he started his own.

The message will be so strong that people will see the impending dangers ahead and having no option than to support.

Passing the message isn't even something of one week it can take months before shooting down the whole system.

Rilwayne001:
I doubt we really have the mind for revolution in this country. People will chicken out so easily. Lol. But obviously, this system is not and never going to work.

There's not impossible, all we need is to see a strong, bold and uncompromise person who will lead the revolution by first passing the right message to the people.

Rilwayne001:
See ehn, God is my witness, I didn't get #5 from this government. Even #1. Even I was getting anything, I would not come to criticize them at will.

OK I agree

All my services and campaign was because I hope for better future and better things for the national. And here we are not getting what we deserve. Wouldn't it have been better if it was as you assumed it to be

My brother, forget about better things in this country....revolution is the hope for better things not ELECTIONS!

No politicians in Nigeria as at today will want the status quo to change.

The funny part of it is that we Nigerians we don't even know the thing that'll soon hit us. Everyone still thinking all is well.

Rilwayne001:
Do you really think or believe I've ever pocketed any money from this government?

I know very soon your tune will change and you'll start to defend them...

Mr Wayne Wayne my friend anyway just remember me if something show...

Rilwayne001:
It was a terrible mistake. I should have simply observed and even should have campaigned for Fela Durotoye or Morghalu.

Buhari obviously is a terrible mistake. Obviously.

Make una forgive me

Ipob should please stay away from here though.

You did the same thing shortly after 2015 election....

Only God knows what happened (maybe few papers have entered your pocket then) you started defending this government again.

I could remember one of your thread, where I asked the sudden change in you and your respond was you're too quick to judge the government you should have given them more time.

Now repeating the same thing few months after 2019 elections. So pathetic!

Do you need more papers in your pocket now?

I know you can never change!
