It may look like gain, but if Davido don't stop his evil songs and repent, I pity him when he dies. You are now misleading 50m people and u think God will take it lightly with u.

Monogamy:
Then that's intolerance.. On which Chapter of the bible did you learn that?

. U can as well tolerate jihadist and LGBQT

[quote author= post=101040300]GOD BLESS ALL MUSLIMS ALL OVER NIGERIA and the world at large.

May God answer all your prayers in this HOLY MONTH of Ramadan. [/quote].
May God answer all there prayer? Even the prayer to islamize the world and turn non Muslims into slaves? Mind what u wish.

BRATISLAVA:
That's what only the message of grace causes. When some Christians only read one side of their Bibles, because they don't like what the rest of it contains.

.
Very correct.

africandollar:
10“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed,a ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other men—swindlers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week and pay tithes of all that I acquire.’

13But the tax collector stood at a distance, unwilling even to lift up his eyes to heaven. Instead, he beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’ 14I tell you, this man, rather than the Pharisee, went home justified. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Jesus would not have accepted his prayers based on the emboldened except you want to correct Jesus?

.
David had said prayers u will consider worse that that of this pharisee. Did God rejected him? I repeat: If the Pharisee was really righteous, Jesus would have justified him. If the sinner had continued in his sin, Jesus would have humbled him instead.
.
The world is full today with Christians that will ask God for forgiveness, while knowing fully well that they will jump into sin at the slightest opportunity. I will not encourage them.

1st highlight: Pray tell me where you saw that written in the Scriptures? That some people have already been mapped out not to be saved?! Did Jesus then die for the sins of some people in the world and not all people. John 3:16 says 'whosoever' so where are you getting this your theory from? Yes not everyone would be saved but I find it heartless to say that some specific people have already been predestined for destruction like if they have no choice in the matter! How would you feel if I told you that your own child is among those predestined not to be saved and to go to hell?! I bet you wouldn't like that and as a typical Nigerian Christian you would be rejecting it in Jesus name right? Please let's be careful about spreading unfounded ideas that are fables rather than Scripture.

.
The bible talks about predestination. Let me make myself clearer: God from the beginning, already knows those that will perish and those that will be saved. And in revelation, we see that many ended up in hell. Those are the people that will never accept Christ no matter what u preach.

2nd highlight: So if they would not accept Jesus what makes you think that they would then choose not to commit sin? The part of the bible that mentions about us being the light of the world and salt of the earth admonishes us to let our light so shine that men may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven, the way you salt the earth is by your own good works. Remember, this virginity you are both clamoring for is in a fallen body that would be done away with at the Resurrection, so tell me of what use your virginity would then be when you have a new glorious body? You see why this is more of majoring on the minor?

.
There are many people who are not Christians that have good and exceptional character. Do u agree? Non Christians can abstain from sex, drugs, murder, etc. And when they do this, the world will be a better place. I'm not saying we shud focus on "dont's" and ignore preaching Christ. Both shud go hand-in-hand. Don't talk as if virginity and other sins are unimportant. The purpose of preaching Christ is for Men to abandon their sinful ways and follow Christ.
.
Preaching about Christ and sin in combo is good works. But I see many pastors preaching Christ and ignoring preaching against sin.

1 Cor 2:2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

.
What were u trying to imply with this vs?

BRATISLAVA:
Thanks for your input, Brother in the Lord.

.
Hmm. U don't know that guy oo. I've had a lengthy argument with him in the past. And I found out that he doesn't condemn immodest dresses, dirty songs and jokes. He regard every pastor as swindlers that don't understand the word of Christ. He believe mainly in Mathew, mark, Luke and john.

africandollar:
The fact that you gave your life to Christ means you regretted your sins and have now accepted his gift of salvation, continual regret would do nothing but heap condemnation on your soul. How would you as a human feel if someone who wronged you in the past but you've completely forgiven keeps coming back to you remorseful and asking again for forgiveness over and over? You definitely cannot take your relationship with that person to the next level. Take a cue from Paul who said in Acts 23:1 that 'I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.' this is coming from someone who was a chief persecutor of Christians!

Heb 6:1-3: Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do, if God permits

.
I'm talking about healthy regret, not unhealthy one. I'm not saying that the op will keep going back to ask God for forgiveness. He has already been forgiven. His regret for his past action is now propelling him to warn others not to repeat his mistake. What is wrong with that? I repeat: What u don't regret, u will likely repeat!

africandollar:
Since when Bro? Anyway thanks but, no thanks! There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit (Rom 8:1). I see the spirit in you likes to condemn people rather than admonish them thus it would be wise to really check if that spirit is from God.



For there is no respect of persons with God (Rom 2:11) how much more a man whose righteousness are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6)



Again, let me teach you jesusjnr2020 that as long as you are not 'born-again' ALL your righteousness (including remaining a virgin) are nothing but FILTHY RAGS before Him.

This write up does nothing else than condemn those who didn't give their lives to Christ as virgins and would keep making them think that they are not worthy of God's blessings and that my friend is a message from the pit of hell because the Devil only seeks to condemn unlike a Christlike message that admonishes and justifies. What do you then want those who got disvirgined before knowing Christ to do? go back into their mother to be born again? Nah! Why? Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Cor 5:17)...including your virginity!

I am not saying that they should continue in sin, that grace may abound? (Rom 6:1) but rather they should produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance ( Matt 3:8 ) by building on the foundation of Christ's righteousness.

Read your Bible and quit adhering to a mental image of self-righteousness (John 5:39)

.
U wouldn't have made this post if u had seen this part of his writeup:
.
"It's a regret that is going to be useful to keep me on my toes, since I couldn't give that to God, it's going to serve as a motivation to ensure that God loses nothing else in my life. It makes me feel indebted to God and to do everything I could to make it up to Him, so that even if I couldn't use it to glorify God, I would do everything I could, God helping me, to ensure I do my part to help as many as possible that would have given their virginity to the devil to use it to glorify God."
.
This will rather encourage those who didn't give their lives to Christ as virgins.

africandollar:
Well, move all you want it still won’t change the truth written in the Scriptures which is the infallible Word of God.

You keep saying I should continue in my iniquity although you know nothing about my lifestyle which makes you no different from the Pharisee who came to the temple praising his own works before God not knowing that even the contrite sinner was more justified before God than him!

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted - Luke 18:11-14

.
What will u say about David, who, in various instances, told God how righteous he is and how evil his enemies are? Is David being self-righteous? Also, what about Job, Nehemiah.
.
If the pharisee was really righteous, Jesus would have accepted his prayer. But we all know that it is same pharisees that planned and killed Jesus. The pharisee Jesus cited might even be among the planners!

You telling a sinner to stop fornicating while making light of the salvation of his soul is like making someone study hard to achieve a first-class in a prestigious University only later for it to be found out that he forged his WAEC/NECO certificate! He would be banned immediately and it wouldn’t matter if he made a 5.0 CGPA!

Yes, righteousness is required before God but it must be based on the foundation of Christ’s righteousness. You truly do not understand this for if you did you would NEVER have written the write-up you did!

If you yourself like you said couldn’t start living a righteous life until you gave your life to Christ why do you think a sinner too would be able to withstand fornication without first receiving power over sin through the Holy Spirit?! Are you that selfish and don’t want anyone else to make heaven that you would rather preach self-righteousness to a sinner rather than the true Gospel of Christ?

I don't see anything wrong with what he wrote. Facts is, those who have not been mapped out by God for salvation will not be saved. Preach heaven and hell they won't accept Christ. But at least, there is sth we can still do. We can limit the sin they commit and reduce the damage they would have done. Thus, making the world a better place. Aren't we the salt of the earth again? You can't just convert everyone to Christianity, but we shud try and if u check his other threads, he is trying. Don't judge him base on this thread alone

africandollar:
OP, would you kindly stop all these 'balderdash'? Who told you God is after your virginity? Does your virginity guarantee your success or spirituality after giving your life to Christ? You're just like those early Jewish Christians who believed that observing the Law, including being circumcised, would make you a better Christian! My friend, God is after your soul and not your flesh! When a man is in Christ he is a new creature...even your virginity from a spiritual point of view.

In human terms which sin is greater between fornication and murder-by-proxy? Yet Saul who was a murderer-by-proxy became the greatest apostle God ever used!

Quit condemning yourself for things you did when you didn't know Christ for there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. This clearly is a stronghold of the devil on your mind, reject it and receive healing and deliverance in Jesus name. Amen.

.
What u don't regret, you will likely repeat.

https://www.nairaland.com/6512404/why-it-could-dangerous-christian

This was the same person that attacked me on a thread I made to advise people not to lose their virginity to premarital sex even though they were yet sinners, because they may regret it after they became saved.

https://www.nairaland.com/6414750/why-shouldnt-lose-virginity-premarital/3#99078524

When i say that the gospel of grace makes sin to abound, some would think i don't know what i'm talking about, but here is yet another instance that proves that, and supports my claim that most preachers of that gospel were workers of iniquity who only use it to justify their evil works.

That's why when they see the righteous, they'd start calling them all sorts of names like "self-righteous", "Pharisees", etc., because they feel threatened by their works of righteousness since they're workers of iniquity.

Let them continue deceiving themselves, using grace to justify their works of iniquity, soon and very soon, they would find out why we had to go to this length to emphasize the importance of the works of righteousness and also condemn the works of iniquity.

God bless.

.
Whenever I'm with sinners and condemn the evil they do, all of them will say sth like " self righteousness", "prayer of the pharisee vs sinners", " we are all sinners" etc etc. Just to justify themselves and make me feel bad about being righteous. This is very common.

BRATISLAVA:
I am learning from your response.

When I mentioned this keeping to the commandments and being "holy", a pastor attacked me that I'm being self-righteous and directed me to the book of Job.

Job was perfect in his reverence for God, to the point where he was atoning for the sins of his children in their absence. He thought he was too perfect and righteous and that was his sin, I was told.

The pastor made me understand that my acts of being perfect were filthy rags that didn't count for anything. And told me to look at the latter chapters of Job in which he realized that despite his self-righteousness he suffered more than others, and that it was still not good enough until he acknowledged that God was always going to be God.

It shocked me then. I even believed it. In retrospect, it angered me that nothing we do will ever be good enough or perfect enough for God. For some months afterwards, I did not even bother with trying to be a Christian because it didn't make sense, if God was calling me to Holiness, why couldn't I do things that He would find holy from my faith based on the Word? What was the basis of godly living, then?

I'm telling my experience because it may be what someone else has gone through and they may need some answers.

I still believe that God wants us to be perfect, no matter what. Otherwise there's no basis for living as a Christian. That is why I asked if it is sanctification or perfection.

I feel the perfection would come as a result of sanctification, to be in resonance with the Spirit of God to the point where you are counted as one with Him.

Open to further lessons on this.

God bless.

.
Don't let anyone deceive you. Although we are saved by grace and not by our own effort, we still have a part to play. We still have to carry our cross and follow Jesus. We still have to:

strive
struggle
put in every effort
press on and
try to live a holy and righteous life.
.
Hebrews 12:4: "In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood."
.
Ephesians 4:3,: "Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace."
.
Philippians 3:12: "Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own."
.
2 Peter 3:14, NLT: "And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight."
.
Lk 13:24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
.
2 Timothy 2:21: Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
.
Unfortunately and so unfortunately, some 'Christians' want Jesus to carry their cross for them while they relax and enjoy life.

Since I have being in farming line have never be happy like Today . My plan is to sell 6-6.5k but when I got to the market this morning it was 8-9k. Those that want to resell was begging me to sell 7.5k which am ready but my colleague and the agent no gree . Cum see begging for market deep inside me, I felt like BOSSSSS. THANK GOD! Harvest continue today..

.
You really hit the mket at the right time. Kudos.

Sterlingsolutns:
@ Farmtech - I like this your concept. But is it particularly effective? The space within the net appears large enough for the rodents to pinch and thereby renders the fruits a waste

What has been your experience?

I think mechanical means though more expensive is safer than the chemical means more so when the fruits are almost due for harvest

Thanks

.
So far, they have not touched any. Soon I'll install more and watch what happen.

Sterlingsolutns:
@ felixzo 1 is correct - depending on the motive, the technology and the device deployed

@Farmtech - have you ever seen a rain gun before? - inlet will be like 3 inches and outlet like half an inch to give pressure and atomize water discharge

Farmers most times also needs pressure especially large scale farmers

Thanks

.
I have a raingun (for sale). Get me right. Use big pipe from the pump to the raingun. Let the reduction be at the raingun end. If u reduce the pipe, u will spend more on fuel. Bigger pipes, lesser friction and higher flow rate.

Kobojunkiee:
Pay attention to what Jesus Christ in fact said of the Spirit of Truth so you do not continue to be misled by men and their doctrines.
Jesus Christ is the Truth of God, and according to Him, the Spirit of Truth will take from Him, Jesus Christ the Truth, to give to you, implying that the Spirit of Truth will never feed you anything that contradicts the Truth that Jesus Christ has already given to you.
Jesus Christ called His followers to believe in Him and in Him alone. He commanded them to trust in Him(His teachings included) and not the teachings of men. In fact, we are clearly told by God that those who put their trust in men(and their words) are cursed
So, if you have a problem with my choice to do as Jesus Christ commands, you have to take it up with Jesus Christ Himself.
I don't need to encourage anyone to do anything. They are free to do as they choose, and this freedom is given to them, not by me, but by Jesus Christ, the one they serve. So, again, if you have a problem with me not imposing sin where God has not commanded one, take it up with Jesus Christ, the one who did not declare their choice of clothing or dressing a sin.
Jesus Christ never declared the use of what you consider 'foul language' a sin. So, why should I be against those who use foul language? Am I an eejit of some kind that I should declare a sin that which God Himself has not declared so?
Jesus Christ called them false teachers and false prophets, wolves in sheep's clothing, whose ultimate goal is to steal, kill and destroy His flock.
Peter warned you of the very same, declaring they were nothing but thieves and swindlers...
Peter, the apostle, warned people about ALL MOGs (False Prophets and Teachers), from about 2000 years ago. So, what about them makes you think they are of Jesus Christ when He declared they are against Him?
Thankfully, Jesus Christ knows those who belong to Him and those who simply wear the badge "Christian" where their hearts are filled with nothing of Jesus Christ.

P.S. There are two Spirits living on the inside of all those who are born again... the Spirit of Truth(Jesus Christ) and the Spirit of God(God, the Father).

I pray he repent.

felixzo1:
but pressure increases , depends on the motive

.
Centrifugal pumps are designed for volume flow, not pressure. And what farmers need is the volume with some pressure. And centrifugal pumps can meet these demands. Too much prseeure is bad for your hose, drip, PVC pipes, joints etc.

Farmerakinloye6:
12,000 meters, I heard 2000 meters 0.2 thickness is 80k at the moment.

How much is spray tube?

Sterlingsolutns:
This pumping machine looks nice especially because it has four inches outlet. Please, where can one get this type of pumping machine and what is its name.

You are absolutely correct - by reducing the outlet to 2 inches, the pressure will increase and it will be able to cover a greater expanse of land

Thanks

.
If u reduce the outlet size, the machine will consume more fuel to transport less water. Efficiency will greatly drop. Water move more freely in bigger pipes because friction is less. The bigger the pipe, the better. Just that it becomes more costly. Refineries transport fuel in big pipes for a good reason.

You need to read your Bible very well and with all manner of openness to get to the understanding which is Biblical and which is not.

Someone who don't believed Jesus's own apostles, is that one a Christian? He is limiting himself only to Mathew, mark, john and Luke. He's heretic.

Kobojunkiee:
Everyone of the apostles was called to the gentiles as well... When Jesus Christ gave them the command to go into the World....
He was not sending them to only the jews but to the world.... and there are only two kinds of people...jews and gentiles.

.
U seemed to have forgotten what u said: that Paul's teachings were directed mainly to jewish audience.

Kobojunkiee:
You simply need to use your head in this. Jesus Christ is the Law. Can any man, woman, or child, even Paul, change what has been declared by the Word of God Himself? Here's hoping you know the answer to that is a NO.
So where Jesus Christ, the Truth of God, declared that you must be perfect, He implies that you must be perfect. And where He gives you instructions on how to become perfect, His Word is Law.

God is God of Laws and Jesus Christ is God's New Covenant Law in the Kingdom of God. If Heaven is where you hope to end up, you need to start taking Jesus Christ more seriously than you do anyone or anything else.

.
Jesus didn't teach them everything. Rather he sent the Holy Spirit to do that. So the gospel about Jesus did not contain all about him. Is this hard for u to understand how flaw ur thinking is?
.
1. U don't believe in the book of Corinthians, Ephesians, Romans etc and u call urself a christian?
2. In my past arguments with u, U supported and encourage women to dress like prostitutes

3. U supported those who use foul languages
4. U regarded every pastor as swindlers.
.
These and many more shows that u are not even a Christian. U are just here to confuse those u can confuse.

That's child abuse but some so called feminists will want to defend her now. Imagine a father stripping completely naked before his daughter of that age in the name of photoshoot. I don't know what's wrong with the people of this age, they reason upside down and behave upside down. Things that your common sense should ordinarily tell you is not proper, this depraved "woke" generation will tell you it's the way to go. Human beings with the brain of animals.

Blame the entertainment industry. Blame fools like 2face, davido, wizkid, Osuofia, Mercy Johnson and the rest. They introduce these evils and people will take it extra mile.

Kobojunkiee:
...
Again, much of Paul's writings were for a Jewish audience and not for the eyes and ears of the gentile world...

.
Hmm, Paul, who is an apostle to the gentile? Why come here to confuse people?

Kobojunkiee:
Paul might have written that in his letter to those in Phillipi but remember, that was Paul. No one is called to follow the examples and words of Paul though.
Now, according to Jesus Christ, the one who is Master over us all, perfection/holiness is achieved through continued submission to and obedience of His teachings/commandments, a process which begins when you first choose to believe.
And is achieved when you eventually become a follower of His. Only those who are become followers are then able to become born again, so we know that the disciples, and other followers, who were born-again on Pentecost were already at that point for the Spirit have come on them as He did.

.
That is ur problem. In the past, I know u clearly rejected other part of the bible and accept only teachings of Jesus. U need repentance. After that, U'll come to understand that perfection is not a day's job.

Myer:
Juxtapose 1 John 3:7 with Titus 2:11-12
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

While believing in Christ imputes God's righteousness on man, there's still a needed man's righteousness.

The question ergo becomes, How then do you differentiate God's righteousness from man's righteousness?

.
If u obey and follow God's plan for salvation, then u are godly righteous. But if u disobey it like the Jews and follow sth else, that is man's righteousness. Eg some idol worshippers will tell u that they worship same God as Christians, just that they do it thru an image. They will also claim that they live more righteously than many Christians. That is an example of man's righteousness.
.
Another eg of man's righteousness is a 'christian' that will willfully sin and then try to balance it up with some good works.

perezeghi:
Nice one.
The bolded is a continuous tense. There's a reason why it is imputed like that.

It's that continuity that leads to perfection. It's not a back and forth or forth and back thing.
