Bros, 'Austerity' is correct, check google for more reference, and stop fooling around.

I'll be forced to take
prolific but, lawful austerity measures.

Dude you stop fooling around! Austere and austerity are both correct but austere best suits this context.

Ok let say you said it this way: "I'll be forced to take prolific but lawful tenacious measures"...... The mistake you made if syncd into my new statement will be: I'll be forced to take prolific but lawful tenacity measures"

They are both adjective but one is more right than the other. We are all learning.

Cc: fruityjojo

This will be terse.

If the Bible didn't give these statements then you'll doubt and not be blamed. Like it or not the atheists are just the fulfilment of prophecies
. They may appear smart and reasonable but that is all they are----'appearing'. They can't even prove how man came to be. The bible did not ask you to do anything bad. It asks you to do everything that is morally acceptable, the reason for Nigerian atheism is:
1. Praying and not receiving answers
2. Not wanting to pay tithes or offerings
3. Fear of being attacked by muslims if discovered they are christians.
3. Searching for unnecessary knowledge(too much knowledge damages..it is a fact)
4. Wanting to seem smart and be regarded as an intellectual or 'different' or 'special'(unfortunately attacking God is not the way)

I pray read the below statements and find strength to hold on:

For many will come
in my name, claiming, ‘I am the
Messiah,’ and will deceive many. You
will hear of wars and rumours of wars,
but see to it that you are not alarmed.
Such things must happen, but the end is
still to come. Nation will rise against
nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines and earthquakes
in various places. All these are the
beginning of birth pains.
“Then you will be handed over to be
persecuted and put to death, and you
will be hated by all nations because of
me. At that time many will turn away
from the faith and will betray and hate
each other, and many false prophets
will appear and deceive many people.
Because of the increase of
wickedness, the love of most will grow
cold, but the one who stands firm to
the end will be saved.

PS

To Those praying without answers

The problem is you pray like a wounded lion but don't live like a dove, what I have discovered from reading the bible is that, your daily living and how you go about, the utterances you make, the things you do, the way you act determines if God will answer your prayer. And finally another problem is most people live holy because they want to get things from God not because they care about his decrees.....



I pray this will strengthen someone.....Shalom.

What you don't know is that you are creating another 'religion' yourself.....smh at these dumb atheists.... Maybe cult is the right word for you.

You know what hurts me? When I see you all trying to form 'intellectuals' and yet none of you geniuses have told me how 'MAN' f**cking came into existence!!!!

aijazNija:
his prayer attitude is really working for him. If you look around him, you will see he is flying business class on international flight. He God ANSWERS prayers. my opinion

So everybody that prays must fly first class?

Meanwhile, if this eventually makes it to the frontpage, I'll be so un-poised to bombard this forum with my ripped-abs pictures, and if the mods fail to push it to the frontpage, I'll be forced to take prolific but, lawful austerity measures.

*AUSTERE not austerity*

Nigerians and hypocrisy. So if he remains in his seat and says a short prayer god won't accept his prayer? Besides,does god fly planes? Last time i checked,planes were still flown by pilots. Makes one wonder where this god was when the other planes crashed. Yeah i know,god has a reason for everything.I can't question god. He has a purpose for everything. What else? Oh yes,it's all part of his divine plan.

So where were the pilots who you are visibly putting your trust in when the others crashed?

mmsen:
They're not the only ones in Nigeria who are obsessed with religion or forever invoking god, unfortunately.

It's a bad habit which is pervasive in Nigerian society.

Will you these boys stop allowing yourself to be the fulfilment of prophecies :-/

You want to rise above the Nigerian mentality, good I get, but you have to attack God? And why did u spell it 'god' you scared? Rise above the 'steal is political office' rise above the 'it is our thing' mentality. God is not your enemy..... Strive to make a difference. you never attack the devil, your smart instincts never tell you, have you thought about that?(I so wish you get that line)

Am happy Nigeria now take stats....

Who cares about rosike mtchww..... The thing is when their life ends tragically many of us won't know.

ROSSIKE:
I can barely understand the gibberish you typed, but I can discern the usual retinue of EXCUSES and LIES given by your ilk when confronted with the crude and evil brutality and bloodlust of the imported monster you worship, whom you egregiously call "God". Rest assured intelligent ones among us are not deceived by your ludicrous "he was once evil but is now good" defence of your mad deity, any more than we would be if Hitler claimed to turn a new leaf after his infamous murderous rampage that condemned millions to an early grave. So take your nasty excuses and rationalizations of wanton mass murder, looting, and rap.e and stick 'em up your colonised bum.

You are uncouth.... Well I tried, if everything you could pick from all that is 'he was once bad but now good' then you are worse than I anticipated............. To the dumb fellow that liked your post: if truly he commanded us to kill and rape, why are we not killing and raping and why is righteous islam all about violence? Pointless people.... Don't quote me again please........Jesus loves you!

bizmogul:
I have a couple of female friends who have gotten to the " age of marriage" like they say. Between the age range of 28 - 30. Now, these chics as far as I know them are not miscreants ( you know like the kongo aso girls that sleep around). I am not saying they have not done or they don't do but they are good chics. Two weeks ago, I had a discussion with one of them and she practically broke down in tears.




I really don't know, but what do you think?

The thing op is they are being good to get husbands not because they want to be good and if they are not........ Then the problem is that they act good till the guy dates them, then they probably become freaky especially in bed, which takes the guy aback since they seemed harmless before dating...

When a guy sees a good girl he makes the mistake of thinking she is innocent and knows nothing which is wrong. When they start dating and she starts doing things they didn't believe the gentle girl can do, they take it that she is pretentious.



And they have done the deed and have not married and you are saying they are good? That is another problem. When the dude doesn't meet her a virgin he thinks her a pretentious girl.... Ask them how they lost their virginity, you should discover their problem from there.

The Holy Catholic Church has more important things to do than sue someone who wrote a defamatory article with a clone name. Maybe you don't realize she used a name that couldn't be traced to her. Maybe you should read up more facts about the said story.

Well if you don't know, she made a video she didn't write an article...

SalC:
You may need to direct your question to Christ who gave them the authority to forgive sins. Help me ask him why he didn't keep that authority exclusively for himself. He gave them the authority and I won't challenge him, if you are not comfortable with it, take it up with Jesus.

Mr Bible reader, pray, tell me what it is if not err.

26 Because of this, God gave them over
to shameful lusts. Even their women
exchanged natural relations for
unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the
men also abandoned natural relations
with women and were inflamed with
lust for one another. Men committed
indecent acts with other men, and
received in themselves the due penalty
for their perversion. 28 Furthermore,
since they did not think it worthwhile to
retain the knowledge of God, he gave
them over to a depraved mind, to do
what ought not to be done.

Depraved is the key word: it means God himself has made their minds immorally corrupt and wicked. It is like reconfiguration of the human thinking, making it seem their is nothing wrong with a woman sleeping with a woman, making also we who see it as a wrongdoing look wicked and foolish.

In other versions it uses the word 'Reprobate': (in Calvinism) predestined to damnation.

ROSSIKE:
You are a dumb cretin. What African religion asks people to go nake'd? Our ancestors wore clothes and made cotton, unlike the rubbish taught you by your colonial masters. And unlike your worthless bible that commands people to kill those who disbelieve its lies, and your nasty, imported christian ''god'' who COMMANDS PEOPLE TO GO ON RAP.ING AND LOOTING SPREES, and ''loves the smell of burning human flesh''.

Here's the nasty monster you worship whom you call ''God'':


Phew...nasty... (SPIT)

From your post it is obvious you are a muslim, a dim-witt and you lack addressing manners...... I don't need to explain the bible to you because you are the degrading adjectives above... But to make the world safer I'll just enlighten you a bit....

The old testament is a record of STORIES of things that happened mostly to the israelites, the old and primitive time was a time of war, different times different measures... God was angry with the human race already for turning away from him, so he chose a group of people that will serve him and he would help them conquer their enemies and grant them their wishes and all....if you weren't filled with bitterness as to defile holy things like the bible I'll ask you to go read chapters where the isrealites were punished when they disobeyed God...

The old testament was not written to give orders to christian to kill, all you quoted were real time happenings of then not laws and commands like the quran..... Judaism uses just the old testament, and they don't even kill. Christians uses the old testament and new testament but only a few practices like paying tithe,obeying the ten commandment are chosen while solely depending on the New Testament...... Now until you get a verse where Jesus Christ asked his disciples to go and kill and destroy you have no point...


If you don't know, all you need to do is ask and you'll know.

Lol so you expect me to be so stupid to believe that the Creator only reviled himself to a small group of Semetic people
While my ancestors were in darkness

I cannot insult myself in such manner
Pls wat new world order are you talking about? The one where africans no longer have pride in their identity and wish to cling to Others at all cost? The one where africans lick Hebrew and Arab shit

Maybe u lot should stop disturbing my peace wit ur stupid church noise and speakers, stop insulting my ancestors, stop spending hours preaching against Paganism rather than minding ur bible business, stop giving me fly out for church services and stop preaching about a dead jew to me
Mind ur slave mentality and mind it alone

Ok

jascon1:
listen I judge no one. Am trying to clear the air surrounding my spirituality. Ur Comparison to Jesus is too much. Jesus walked on water...oya compare... Jesus resurrected Lazarus.....Jesus was baptised... Jesus had no home nor did he open a church... Oya day fill up o....Jesus went fishing practically (work)... Jesus appeared to the Thomas ( to convince him. Convince me oh)...
C, it is even clear to the eyes of man that the wonders surrounding the so-called saints are wonderful. Is it all about prayers? Did Jesus tell u he came to pray for us or to die for us? Jesus nor his apostles never had such luxury that these "saints" have today. Adeboye is worth above 550 billion naira. Above $50m. N he is still accepting gifts. He himself said he has a private jet n uses it to monitor his church n u a member denying it. Are u trying to cover a fat fart? Jesus said don't worry about tomorrow but this man is storing millions of dollars. You, the one paying the offerings, how much do u have? Mathew 19:24 says a rich man will find it hard to enter the kingdom. Is 550 billion not above rich? Is wealth we're talking. He can single handedly own several banks in the country.

The jet was given to him by a group of. Church members to use whenever he needs...... This man travels around the world preaching and going on clerical jobs everyday, you expect him to book flights and travel by Nigerian roads?

When jesus said a rich man will find it hard to enter into God's kingdom it was logical. Rich men by Jesus was mostly referring to business magnates where they worry about money everyday, they find it hard to go to Church! Or pray!

Storing? There goes the 'saying what you haven't seen like you are there' people gift him if he spends them all wastefully I put it to you that you will crucify him.

My problem with you all is that you are not realistic, if you were the one in his position what will you do?! This man once received his gratuity and gave them out because God told him to do so! Can you do that? Can you give your only car out? He has sown now he is reaping and you are all here shouting. Do you know how many people called him stupid when he dropped a lucrative federal lecturing job to go and answer God's call? What of when he emptied his account when the church founder ordered them to(he was the only member who did it)........

You are not his God so don't judge his actions,,,,,,, if he is rich thank God and pray for yours,,,,, do you know the amount of charity work he does with the tithe he receives(moreover you are still a baby christian if you think you pay your tithe to a man and not biblical-wise)?? If he comes out to state them now, you will say the bible says if you do your right hand a favour don't let your left know........ I tire for una I sw3r!!!!!!! Ha ha!!!!!

jascon1:
the last thing I'll accept is having a closure to my question by threatening me. I sin everyday n so does everyone else. One cannot tell me that in my quest for the TRUTH I'll sin. The Bible tells me that the TRUTH shall set me free. So tell me the truth cos I need to be free. I don't consider anyone a saint in this world. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. No one is a saint. Even Jesus didn't find a saint in 12 men he chose as apostles. One betrayed him n the other denied him. I'll never feel less worthy before any living man. In the Bible God asks me to come to HIM thru Jesus n not a saint.
If during Jesus' time there were only arrows n bows, am sure u will agree with me that there were donkeys n horses. There were nice perfumes n garments. Our so called saints have all the glamor of the world. But yet, the Bible say store up treasure in heaven. There were governors during the Roman empire. When he was taken to Caesar he never prayed for him nor did he pray for Caiaphas. The apostles as well did not have any biz with rulers of their times.
The average man in the streets spit curses on these rulers for the suffering they bring upon their entire generations cos' of their greed.

My usage of 'saints' was a bit too strong.......

Bobo it requires wisdom, he was called upon that am sure of so why deny them the honour of hearing a prayer to God. In the case of Jesus, he came with teachings they had never had before and he could afford to say anything to them he was JESUS you know! ......

Jesus sat on an unused donkey once, only kings had this opportunity.....

Dad G.O didn't even buy a private jet, he was lent one as I heard(remember I said everything is hearsay till you see it).... Are you one of those that judge him for having access to one? That is my reason for bringing this up.

Are u comparing Jesus to Adeboye? Did u read that Jesus went to pray for Zachaeus? He lodged at his residence because he had no home on earth. Is Adeboye homeless? Jesus went on his way after then n never to return to Zachaeus. How many times is Adeboye going to pray for GEJ? Isnt it interfaith for a Christian to pray for a Muslim? Mathew 6:24 points out that we cannot serve two gods I watched the wife ministering to the congregation before the election to expand their capacity. There's a shifting. But they prayed against the shifting....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K0SDlu3Hxs.... I just want a Christianity where we won't serve man or where man has to intercede for us. That's the reason Christ died for us so we can pray to the father. He says if I call from my interior chamber he who sees me in secret will answer me in secret. I can never entrust my worship to any man. I don't want a pastor with worldly influence. I want one that has the influence to connect with God not the president. I'm about my spirituality here. If i were he,The only reason I would visit a president is to rebuke the evil he's doing which Jesus did when he overturned the tables. A pastor should not be a part of this world. Jesus never was. I have to defend my faith everyday as a Christian before my atheist friends. Just becos of what Christianity has been turned into.

When Jesus came swords and arrows were still used in war. The world has changed... You don't know if he after praying for them will preach to them. You don't know. My friend(in a calm tone o), till you see something and hear it yourself it is still hearsay....

Pastor Adeboye said when we saw a picture of him, with buhari and osibanjo before the election, they ran into him and they walked with him and took a picture....... Guess. What the dailies read.......**Adeboye meets with osibanjo and buhari** anyone would think he went to meet them....


In a quest of clamouring for the truth don't commit sin by judging saints please.

especially their religion

They preached the light to us because they were privileged to. Do you know how many tribes African missionaries have preached to? How is it 'their religion'? What is wrong with you these people, why can't you see what the new world order is doing.

The bible doesn't ask you to kill cows or go around naked, it only demands your fellowship, prosperity and holy living coupled with peacefulness! Why can't you just worship God or don't worship him and shut the bleep up!!!!!!

U r blind cos ur faith is heavily dependent on a man. Love or hate that man can't save u. Focus on Ur personal spirituality n revere God not man. Watch ursef now b4 the end. Is obvious, what am saying that's y ppl like it. Who knew him When he had his PHD?how much was he worth at then? Many PHD holders today can't boast of $200k. Having a PHD is not a cheque for debiting dollars. Yes, he's one of the most influential men in the world today. I'm critical cos I want things done accordingly. Keel ursef if u wanna die. Is purr madness to be visiting hi profiled men who have sold their souls to Satan. After praying for them, the next day they will seek ognoni for prayers, they will visit shrines for prayers. Who's fooling a fool here? Ask him to stay in his church n stay off politics. Any political pastor is questionable

I understand you, so you are even reasonable. I don't follow a man, am not a fan of going to the pastor for prayers because SALVATION is a PERSONAL thing, but don't slander men of God. But the bible still shows that your pastor can pray for you and if you feel afterwards like blessing him, you can make a generous donation.

What you don't understand is that the power of God is stronger than that of ogbonis and his prayer can render them useless. His prayer can be the difference. So many prophets in the bible prophesied to the king. Jesus went into the house of Zaccheus a corrupt man.

He is well-respected and he must have been called to pray, it is not like he went there begging to pray for them. If he doesn't answer their call now it is people like you that will slander him again and find filthy things to say.
