Religion / Re: Should Or Should We Not Let Our Good Works Be Seen? by esere826: 8:33pm On Jul 05, 2015 |
nothing wrong with letting our good works be seen as it is written " let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." if you take this literary, you see there is a distinction between the works and the light in order words, it can be interpreted as saying draw attention to your good works so that folks will see it and bless God But then what about the other verse that seems to suggest we hide our good works Well, there are a number of explanations I can give, but I'll give only this one. an excerpt from the verse shows this: "......that they may have glory of men." So we see that this is an admonition to those who are yet to emerge from self those who are yet to understand their oneness with God, those who are separate from God Remember what was said about Christ that he went about doing good. he sure wasn't trying too hard to hide it. |

well done ladies. keep it up anyway sha..in another tori a number of Nigerian girls in the UK, with all the freedom and equality at their disposal ran back home to Nigeria when they had reached a certain age without hooking a man some of the complaints that I have heard include.. 1) the guys for UK no know the meaning of marriage. Na only how to date even into their 60's 2) the Nigerian guys in UK most times have done introduction for girls back home and have not told them 3) the guys in the UK no sabi toast like 9ja boys. They stay a distance and smile most times. 4) the guys in the UK no know say dey suppose spend money for girls. They are very happy for you to spend on them instead 5) The guys in the UK no dey go church 6) the female competition in the UK is much. Gals of all classes, races and sizes are available at the beck and call of guys. And the guys don't need to spend money which makes it even worse. 7) Gals on the plum side are not in high demand in the UK. In fact if not because of Beyoncé, men no for dey look them 8 ) In Nigeria, if gal wan date guy she might spend some time (weeks or months) doing shakara but still giving the guy green light. This is allowed and even appreciated by the males. For UK, no ways... the 2 exchange "I like you" , and the guy expects to sleep with the girl on the second or 3rd date max. anyway sha..... I think we generally threat our ladies unfairly in Nigeria. I've always felt this way 6 Likes 2 Shares |
Religion / Re: Did Jesus Come To Bring Peace Or Not? by esere826: 10:20pm On Jun 29, 2015 |
OLAADEGBU:He was saying that when some members of a family believe in him, and some don't, it will cause division of loyalty between them. ...The gospel initially put a sword between brothers in Africa. The gospel is presently putting a sword between families in the north, when some turn to Christ. In order words, Christ is saying that he'll bring peace into the core of individuals, but this will turn people against the individual, and even that person against others. You can see this happening a lot in the religious section even between fellow christians So he goes further to say that peace is like salt. It is called peace because it is peaceful. You can't call a troublesome person peaceful even if he is full of the Holy Spirit. Therefore though the tendency of being a christian tends to put you on a war path with everything and everyone, you should try to stir up the part of you that whispers "shalom". Calm the storm around you with peace. 1 Like |

Beckybeky: sales job is not the best job, especially when your basic salary is very small or none existent, and the bulk of your earnings is based on commission on the sales that you bring in. ....this is something a number of school leavers don't know>> You can come together with a group of friends and actually do sales jobs for yourselves instead of for an employer you guys can even hire others and pay them based on what they bring in its that simple |
Religion / Re: My Whatsapp Chat With A New Young Pastor In My Church As Regard Tithing by esere826: 11:43am On Jun 26, 2015 |
vooks: You've said it all They are definitely not sins and definitely not commandments either I've always maintained this stand They are actually traditions which make sense in our present dispensation traditions are great for structure, purpose and discipline like you rightly said, and I believe that God does not frown at them if they do not distort his glory. However, I don't agree when people try to create some biblical doctrine out of tithing. The logic does not fly, especially when you realise that Abraham was recorded to have tithed only once from loots -for those that claim that it is a pass down from Abraham; And the Jews form of tithing is certainly not what we have in the church today -for those that say it is our inheritance in a spiritual Israel I believe that tithing in our dispensation is simply a prophetic desire of God in order for the kingdom to achieve some goals no need for folks trying to quote bible on top am as if say we be zombie wen no get sense Prophetic utterance don't really need a distrortion of logic. It is what it is In the start of the Apostolic ministry, the prophetic desire for Peter's 'headed' church was for them to sell their belongings and lay it down at the feet of the apostles for onward distribution. This had no precedence. While for Paul's ministry, they gave willingly to him, and he even went about working to earn money. I am also of the view that when the wind (Spirit) changes from tithing to something else then we should be girded ready to be blown in the new direction, not our MOG's and followers holding on desperately to tithing I don't tithe. I've tried to previously, but for me it brought condemnation (maybe because of the way I think) so I stopped. I understand the need for financing the Kingdom, and so make pledges which could be more or less than Tithes (I try to make it more based on realistic calculations). This edifies me more. If 2mrw I sense the wind (Spirit) blowing me in the tithing direction I will do so without recourse to convoluted doctrines The calling of Peter and Paul were different. One could eat unclean things, while the other could not David ate priests bread and lived, while Uzzah tried to help the ark of the covenant and died Zacariah questioned Gabriel about his good news and went dumb, wheres Mary did the same and Gabriel spread mat start to explain the process give am God deals with us differently according to his grace and purpose for us. ..may God continue to prosper those who prosper his Kingdom 1 Like |

laudate: I read it. My emphasis is not on the point of the article but on some salient issues raised by Shaka while building his case, and the associated comments regarding the salient points I noticed. Its something like this A man takes his wife before the elders and wants permission to divorce her, his POINT is on the divorce and the return of his dowry However in building his case, he mentions that his wife Clara uses padded buttocks An elder who has been eyeing Clara's bum to take over in order to satisfy his ageing craving, might be more interested in that nondescript information about her padded buttocks You see my approach? |

chiedu7: wean yourself off KJV. it is poetic alright buy uses old English. plus its scholarship is quite dated. Old wine should not be used in new skin remember! "For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him " When i read this version, what i interpret it as, is same as what Victoria Osteen said and even what you yourself have said. the only difference between Victoria and you is that: 1) you take away the human element and make the pleasures of God a stand-alone for His benefit only.And then try to demean her 2) while she considers (emphasises) the nature of man in the equation and does not attempt to demean anyone in the process But this is what the verse interprets as "God makes you feel happy doing what makes him feel happy so in pleasing (or trying to pelase) yourself in Godly things you end up pleasing God and in trying to please God, you end up pleasing yourself' ....it is a win, win for both parties 1 Like |

excellentmomma: yeah they do, just as the SS governors buy arms for thugs for political gains just like this But there needs to be a time when enlightened leaders across the divide sit down and and brainstorm on how to free the ignorant and thugs from such political bondage It for our own collective good and self interest otherwise, we'd always have a cycle were a major southern group (east or west) would quickly make a pact with a Northern messiah to crown him king irrespective of the quality of the persons leadership. I won't be surprised if Yerima soon becomes the next beautiful Northern bride with the East and west scheming to woe him |

I read an article by Shaka Momodu in Thisday http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/kwankwaso-the-master-beaten-at-his-game/212865/. Shaka was upset with Kwakwaso for being proud of mobilizing 2 million almajari's in kano to vote APC after his 8 year rule of the state I saw this as the first comment in the article, and thought to place it here . I try hard not to be anti-any tribe (although its difficult). All that I desire is that everyone be treated equally with the same bar set and the same 'inalienable' opportunity

@olaadegbu While acknowledging what Scholar8200 says It is interesting that this English version of 2 Sam. 21:8 which was quoted uses the phrase "brought up" instead of "born" I am curious (but won't bother to research other versions) if this was the translators trying to find the most convenient expression to use that would align with the curse that was previously expressed. In general and aside form this bit which I draw our attention to, I am quiet weary when scholarly translators with denominational Christian slants try to translate the bible to suit their beliefs. While trying to do God a favour, they may end up hiding something that might be extremely useful to a Christian that meditates on the Word. |

OLAADEGBU: i see that my fiery brothers in Christ avoided this one and concentrated on rebuking Muslims and aehtiests my take Nope,... insulting anyone is not a thing of pride,especially if our goal is not to make them see the error in their ways I'll now go on to speak about this scripture Jesus concentrated on legalities in most part of the chapter and drilled down to the tiny constituting bits of the law that most people will not attempt to get into, lest the vast consciousness of their sins overwhelms them but Jesus then threw in something interesting into the process - a leeway he says that wen you don mess up and the law in which you are subject to is about to take its pound of flesh quickly make friends with your opponent that has a case against you Some can inteprete this as asking for forgiveness of sin regularly, others can interprete it as asking for forgiveness once and for all times But as for me, as I believe I am not subject to the law in the first place I do not have a case to answer with regards to breaking it Its almost like what we were initially told about Sharia law in Nigeria that Muslims will be subject to it, but not us So if a muslim drinks beer, he would be caned if their religious police takes him before their judge except he pacifies his police My drinking beer is not supposed to attract such punishment |
