What's the difference between a true Christian who is religious and a true Christian who is spiritual?

A true Christian can only be SPIRITUAL.... Especially one that has decided to ignore the things that tend to be earthly... Put a religious man and a spiritual man side by side you will see a clear difference.... Religion... Is malleable.... It can be taught.... Spirituality on the other had is a beyond explanations

There is a difference between being religious.... And being spiritual.... And the only way to test a true Christian is by the depth of their spirituality... Not religion.... Religion is what you show the people.... Spirituality is your level relationship with God.... God is not worshipped via religion.... God is worshipped in spirit(spirituality) and in truth.... So understand that the one you see and the one they bamboozle people with is religion..... The true worship lies in the spiritual.

Christianity is fast becoming a joke

Truth is, Christianity will remain but the people who disguise as servants of the Most High God, will definitely get their reward.... Also, people have substituted spirituality for religion, making them pastor worshippers and thereby making them super gullible to the wiles of charlatans who masquerade as men of God... But, they can't escape the wrath of God that will be their reward. God is not mocked.... He is a patient God.... But it is a call to people to have a personal relationship with God and not their pastors.... Many of these supposed pastors are possessed but Nigerians are more religious than spiritual.... Sadly

One question, if you were in the husband's shoes, would you want to know that the daughter you have loved from the day she was birthed is not your child

who stopped igbos from contesting?
At least Peter obi is an Igbo candidate n he’s giving it a shot so lock up with your victim mentality

Nobody will give u presidency on a platter of gold

A bat is blind and can barely see..

If you want to go Tribalistic, you should consider that SW, SS, NW have all tried and now, SE should be allowed to go as they also have a right to vie for a post without been shot down because they are igbos

Sadly they just gave the election to APC or LP because PDPs choice of candidate and deputy is as bad as APCs.... So....
Who is Jamdor? Funke Akindele the not so funny actress is his running mate?? When did the position of the governor, become a joke?

This is obviously a lie, whatever is kept in the prison is what is found on their person.... So how did the prison have 82 million naira and 36,000 USD in cash in their possession The officials should be grilled and interrogated because they are no better than the inmates.......

Lobatan.

Boko Haram attacked Kuje prison in Abuja, released their members and there were no security operatives to repell them?

It seems fishy to me....and if Bandits are bold enough to attacked Buhari security details convoy what else do we expect than to agree that no one is safe in this country.

There is a military base on your way to kuje prison about 10 mins drive from the prison and yet they did not get the order to engage... It's all planned, now they are saying there was nothing that could have been done

I get ur message but I hate how people just give advice to the ones from broken homes like it's easy,we make mistakes which is human but some human beings are just pure evil and that is the honest truth.
Someone that was only verbally abused by his father once in a while(though he performs well in the other areas of his child's life) will be advising someone who has been abused sexually,emotionally,verbally and physically almost every day of his life by his or her father,and you want to compare this two people's stories.

Bro, my advice comes from a place of experience, I mentioned the verbal aspect... My father stopped paying my school fees I'm SS2, he would call the police to lock me up any time I did something like speak against him in the slightest manner all in the name of teaching me a lesson, I was beaten like I was a criminal, using wires and pipes... Sexually abused at a young age till I was mentally scarred.... You don't know the half of my story, so when I speak, I speak from a stand point of experience.... I know some folks are even going through worse but I will tell you something.... Hatred is an anchor ⚓, it keeps you stagnant.... Who will pay his school fees?? I don't know.... My mother did her best and my dad stopped her from working for it.... We all have our stories but all in all I was born in the earliest 80s and I hated my dad for the better part of my life... I am well traveled and I will share the best experience I had growing up was a loving mother. My father ended up praying for me and in all honesty I love him deeply irrespective of his flaws. Being bitter hardly ever affects the person you have issues with, it affects the person who is bitter.... It is not easy, but it is not impossible. My advice to the OP, try to get a job, a bar attendant or something that doesn't require a university degree, ASUU is still on strike, work for the little money you can get and save up.... In a few years you'll tell your story and nobody will believe you because you have built your own empire with just your sweat, our moms love and God.

They are called familiar spirits

Bad advice... Africans are damaged thanks to this mentality...

You mustn't suffer to be responsible... Compare yourselves to your mates in the West...

Your independence was borne out of a need to survive... Your father messed you up... Cause his father treated him bad, he did the same to you? And you think that's normal?

Children should grow in a home with supportive parents who help them transition into adulthood... Not abandon them...

And the op mustn't reconcile with his father... If someone doesn't love you enough, then you let them go...

A father who watches his children suffer is irresponsible... There's no excuse or reason for his selfish actions...

The mistake being made with this line of reasoning is that you hatred doesn't stop the man from doing what he wants to do, but it limits you from reaching your potential because you are too distracted with hating your father for something he is doing when you can let the hatred go and focus on yourself.
My father eventually understood his mistakes at the end but it was a little bit late to start rectifying most because he had missed out on the time.... But he passed on a happy man with his children around him... That brought me peace. The African mentality as you put it isn't damaged... I will clearly tell you this as someone who has spent time living in the US and in Nigeria, we are better off when it comes to our mentality.... You think the whites don feel entitled? People will mess up and that is only natural, no matter the skin color, no matter their position in your life, even you will mess up when you have your own children, the major thing is being able to accept that you have messed up and you are ready to make amends. Hatred doesn't affect anyone else but the person who is doing the hating... It limits them...
No matter how bad a father is ..... His blood is your blood and if you want to go western about it, then understand the concept of "blood is thicker than water"... My independence was borne out of my drive to do better and be better.... That didn't change his title over me... My father! I picked the aspects of him that made him special and worked on myself not to be like him the way he wasn't.
If the OP is focused on hating rather than doing better he will only end up like his father... So my 2 cents? Let him work toward being better ..... And learn to live and let live.

Failure44:
I'll understand the reason why he did it?
How do you understand your father beating your mother countless times in front of you?
Or trying to kill you and your brothers?
Or breaking house properties
Or threatening not to pay my school fees?
Or embarrassing the family name?

See, I'll work hard to better myself and become a great father for my kids( that's if I get married)
But i swear on my life, that man will see hell from my hand.

If you think mikel did his father badly, that man hasn't seen anything.
A shallow grave is where he'll land

Yes agreed he is a horrible excuse of a father... Focus more on you, in my experience if we focus more on the now, we become that which we are trying to avoid. Let the lesson be learnt and be different. Kindness for hatred brother!!
Be the man and let him be the kid.

Failure44:
That woman has tried, she'll enjoy the fruit of her labour.
That man has made her suffer, I have still have memories of when I was 10-12 in primary 5.
How that man would fight with her to the extent blood would be on the wall .
How would fight with her naked, threatening to shoot us and kill my brothers in our sleep.

My childhood memories aren't good at all
I'll make sure I take her abroad, The hatred I have for that man and the zeal to make that woman enjoy is what pushes me.

No matter what your father does, you are a product of his sperm upgraded. Focus the energy you are using to hate to become better than he is.... I do not support any father no being a good father but you'll realize more when you are old enough, you'll understand the reason why he is like this.... My dad once said to me and I quote him 'my father didnt do it for me, so why should I do it for you?' .... I became independent from my early teens, working and hustling, my mom tried her best and supported me with prayers.... But one thing I did was take care of them both.... Irrespective of the pain my dad put me through, I spent on him well before he died and he was appreciative of it. Don't be like your father.... Let the hate dissipate and love him irrespective and instead of burning all that energy hating, channel it into making your own greatness ..... The true victory in such battles is when you show him you are better by having him learn from you... Sometimes na bad situation dey jingah growth....

Each and any politicians that have stolen from our National treasury, and make life difficult for Nigerians, since independence, no matter the political party they are, they will never enjoy their stolen goods in good health and peace till the rest of their miserable lives.

For all the suffering people are going through in this nation, any looting and thieving politician, from past to present will not end well.

And this also goes to their supporters, nothing good will come their way in life.

For a supporter of the present dispensation, I am quite glad you can see you said saint is actually not a saint after all... Good!!

The problem with Nigerians is that we have extremely short term memory. For those shouting Peter Obi, I hope if he gets elected, he won't be worse than buhari.... People clamoured for buhari like this and he turned out to be a failure.... Peter Obi might be the lesser of three evils or he might even be the devil in disguise, better to watch closely than be sentimental about it.

The Nigerian parliamentary system is filled with rogues and cut throats who are worse than Ali Baba's 40 thieves... Buhari should have been brought to book lon ago when he was away from office for over 3 months but because of the tribal and political party sentiments, that part of the Constitution was ignored.

The Constitution also needs to be redone, this is the number one issue, removing immunity for government officials including the president is going to go a long way to helping Nigeria as a whole get back on track when it comes to governance, reducing the supposed necessity of the government and parliament is also a major part of the path to reform.... Then we have been burning natural gas for over 50 years, natural gas that can support economic growth if properly managed.

The president is the petroleum Minister and so therefore he needs to answer for the stealing and also crimes against humanity... This present government is a fraud.

These are the same group our own Nigerian government is giving a slap on the wrist and absorbing into the armed forces? There is a major conspiracy on our hands... And we still don't see it. What is happening in Anambra is just a taste of what will be done to Nigeria as a whole if the government keeps absorbing Boko Haram terrorists and calling them their misguided children....

onuman:
Does a younger brother know when his older brother was born?
Besides, your response did not address my point which is: someone born in Oct 2000 is 21 years old, not 22 years old.

okay so here is my take on this, I might be wrong... But I believe the younger brother should know his own brother's age... The NIN information can be manipulated at the point of data entry so long as that was the information given, the passport would carry the information on the NIN and that is how anyone an falsify their age, but the few people who will know the truth would be family and close friends

Offpoint1:

Na japa well planned.

Gbam!!! You've said it all

onuman:
But can someone tell Jere Idris, the Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration that someone born on Oct 2000 is 21 years old, not yet 22 years old.

The boy's younger brother said he is 25 and not 15 or 22.

I want to believe that it is impossible for them to know the boy is a suitable donor if certain tests were not done to confirm he is a suitable match to be a donor, that would mean he knew the plan and consented to it only for him to get there and alert the authorities which makes him a suitable candidate for asylum... There must have been an agreement before he must have been taken. The young man's story has too many holes and he probably just saw an opportunity to get out of the country and he used it outsmarted the senator and is now trying to outsmart the UK authorities...
No sane person would just pick someone and they will be oblivious if what is going on after tests have been done no matter how ignorant they are.

And if not, I guess the senator should face the consequences of trafficking.

She might have IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome).... Dont blame her for it, she might not even know she has a digestive system disorder.

First things first, go and do a health check, because I am quite sure it's not her first time, you only have evidence for this....
Secondly, it's high time you focused on better things because trust me, you will not forgive yourself if you continue with that relationship... She's going to keep taking advantage of you....
Lastly, ask her a direct question, who is the man you have been sleeping with? Let her answer.... If she lies, show her the receipts.... Printed copies and then let her argue with herself whilst you move on with your life... She's going to keep shagging the man ..... But it will be better if you just lick your wounds and move on to betterment for your own sanity.

She is a patient dog and she intends to eat the fattest bone.... She is waiting till after the 'i do' to show you the kind of person she really is....
But asides that, why are some men so evil?? 16 years and you are still contemplating Bros, na you be the wizard for this matter...

I remember shagging my woman twice once on the wake keeping day the second arouND 4 am on the burial day proper.... I'm quite sure my dad's spirit was hyping me whilst I was pounding her in the bathroom and in the games room... Bro it's the guilt you are feeling for the timing. No sweat you no go die... If she go catch up with you later na for dream.
