oglalasioux:
Nigeria's religious system says God dictates everything including the day and way a man dies. The government is following that belief religiously so it's useless to fix the roads since God will still kill when He wants.

That's the general idea among religious Africans all over the world. That's why we are at the dregs of development.

God has said:
1. What a man sows shall he reap - Gal. 6:7

If we do not fix the roads, we will reap the myriad injuries that shall accrue from such neglect.
He has ordered us to subdue the earth, if we fail to, the earth will subdue us.

2. God has said 'he that rules over men must be just and rule in the fear of God'..-2 Sam. 23:3.

If this is obeyed, there will be no looting and diversion of funds for road construction into the bank of utopia.

Consequently, there will be no road accidents.

Even in your family, if you fail to provide for your wife and children, you're referred to as an infidel and have denied the faith no matter your Christian devotion cum profession- Paul.

My man, our God is too noble to be associated with such a vain and carefree assumption.

Your failure to know God is the reason for your calamities and woes rather...

Whoever follows God does good, lives good, is honest and is a blessing

xendra:
No I don't wish that you fall, I pray you don't. I just know Christians who talk like this, as if they are going to make heaven because they know it all.

My sister.

You better know it all
Preach it all
Hate it all
And pray against it all..

Paul said, '...I have not shunned to declare unto you THE WHOLE counsel of God'

Muafrika2:
Can the laws of dressing, eating, washing, cleanse the spirit? Because you can do all that and have a filthy spirit that can't even
stand before God.

All unrighteousness is SIN.


Dressing to kill,
Dressing to look *hot,
Using all forms of make-up (for those who're down),
All words and gesticulations aimed at seducing guys/men,
Of light-minded women disguised as pious,
ARE ALL OF JEZEBEL.

Christ affirmed that he'll deal with such persons in his revelation to the Church in Thyatira.

Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ's atoning blood (for the serious minded);

Grace itself reigns through righteousness;

Do not frustrate the course of God's grace by being carnal thereby making God's children stumble.

Don't start us lusting.

He made us men.

We're roused often

By what we see

xendra:
I know your type of christian, you put yourself too high on a pedestal, so that when you fall its so loud everyone around can hear it.

You wish that I fall?

Just because I'm forthright?

Well!

The devil can avenge all he can,
But my stability is sure.

It's plainly written in Peter's general epistle that,
'...ye shall never fall'

snailspeed:
I pasted the passage in Hebrew that explains the testaments clearly. Everything Jesus did until His resurection was doen in the old testament and under the law. he said that himself. JEsus sacrificed animals and did other things under the law

Please, try and join us in our Monday bible study session in DLBC..

GOD bless

After buying 250K human hair

Hahahaha.
Most women are so light-hearted that the wind of vanity tosses them irredeemably!

Lightness in church

No gravity before God

How can they make heaven?

They're not even born again

Only a form of rash godliness without self-restraint.. WITH

Minds not centered on the weightier matters of the law,
They're not ready to go to heaven.
Ask them.

THEY CAN'T EVEN TELL WHAT'S IN MATT. 6:33

They don't ponder on it, even if they can tell

THEY'VE GOT

Pride

Inferiority complex

A LOT OF SEDUCING SPIRIT ASSOCIATES

THEY'RE

Seekers to impress

They're children of Jezebel

They don't care about THE PRESENCE OF any OTHER angel

snailspeed:
I think you should read along and not just reply.

Matthew 23:23 is not new testament. That it is placed in bible arrangement by publishers in a section called the new testament does not make it new testament. The new testament started when Jesus, the testator, rose from the dead. Please lets get things really straight and proper

Hebrews 9:16-28King James Version (KJV)

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Alright.
When were the gospels written?

Second, what makes a testament?

A) what the testator said before his death which later comes into force
B) what he says after his resurrection

Saint83:
EL-RUFAI NEW LAWS
* In Kaduna you cannot preach without license
* Every preacher will have to go and get ONLY one year
license (renewable every year). That is, you must always
preach without an e :oxpired license or you risk 2 years
imprisonment.
* If you invite any external preacher (i.e. preacher outside
kaduna state), such a person must be licensed for the
duration of his/her stay and the body issuing the license has
the right to reject external preacher they feel is not qualify
to preach in Kaduna state.
* Every preacher who want to be licensed will appear before
a screening committee. If he/she scales through, he/she will
only be given licensed for one year.
* The law criminalizes the use of CDS, Flash Drive and other
communication gadgets except in religious building or inside
your house.
* That means, you will be arrested for listening to preaching
or religious music inside your cars or in any open place
except in your house or religious building.
* If you preach without license, you are guilty of offense
punishable with 2 years imprisonment or a fine of 200,000.
You can’t use microphone in your church after 8pm you are
guilty of offense punishable with 2 years’ imprisonment or a
fine of 200,000.
* Since all preaching must be done within a building, it
means public evangelism will be criminalized. Those who
preach early morning, known by some as morning cry and
preaching inside bus if arrested will be fined N200,000.
* This could also means, people will not be allowed to go
out for evangelism on streets or move with vehicles with
address systems to advertise their programs. Pls don't let's relent in our prayers , this man is an anti christ.


Dont just read and pass, pray against it.

Who will obey those laws?

You think Christians fear even death threat?

The Christianity I know is the Christianity that can obey reasonable laws, not unreasonable ones.

But if a ruler defies God then all faith will be let loose...

Every one should know that God almighty is a God of order.
His kingdom is a big business and must be operated by the best fiscal policies: He is most excellent.
He leaves nothing out of orderliness or rules.
Every belief has an injunction on which it's hinged.
Tithing is not left out and shall never be.

If you're saved from sin, like I am, you would hardly be bothered by such anti-christ(ian) vagaries as this.

I pay my *one-tenth and it has not made me miserable.
We brought nothing into this world.
The world passes away.
Sow eternal seeds whose fruits will abide forever,
Which will be better than the benefits of tax-payers money.

The words of Christ are plain, ' pay your tithes, but don't omit the weightier matters of the law'.

The writer of this vile epistle should ensure that he keeps God's judgement,
Shows mercy,
And walks faithfully, and by faith.

FOR HIS OWN GOOD.

He should also pay his tithe for the business of God to survive,
Because,
If your stinginess cripples God's business,
Your soul will be committed to the burning flame.

Receive Christ and be free from the propensities of greed.

AMEN.

aaronson:
Money making scheme.

As an atheist, this is how I easily detect the scam in religion.
Anytime an evangelical brethren comes to me to invite me to their church, I tell them this.

Yes I would come to your church for one of these options.

If I come we would share the collected offering and tithe for that day.

OR

As long as I'm present in the church no collection of offering,tithe whatsoever payment. Pick one?

They usually stay speechless and just leave in shame, I 'd just laugh.

just when will your atheism set you free from sin?

Adonis3:
I believe the only reason a church should set up a school should be to provide affordable and quality education for their members


Why would a church build a school that an average member can't afford


The saints of the old never enriched themselves why members languished in penury


But what do you have today



"Men of GOD" getting richer and richer, buying private jets etc



The church has become a business centre with a hub of commercial activities that benefit members in no way

Smh


#Adonis3HasSopken

Your belief isn't that superlative, you know.

The only reason a Christian church may set up a social service, such as a school, is to drag humanity out of darkness into His marvelous light; to lead sinners to Christ; to provide, of great quality, that good thing they greatly esteem, in a way, place and manner that the church has every possible advantage to save some.

Be it known to every one that this university is a strained arm of the church to raise aright, nobly; and to save them young

godman01:
That's why you should marry a man worthy of your submission.

You go school!

Some people are just after a chorus 'yes' answer____________________
to speed up their journey to hell.

Alright.

In spite of all the Bible laments about sexual sins, I want to give you the 'yes' answer you seek.

Go on and engage in premarital immorality.


Goodluck to you.

Enjoy

henryhemon:
I will always praise and serve my God,the God of gods and king of kings,there is none like him.

Amen.

I wonder why the heathen rage and imagine vain things in their hearts.

When God arises against them then they pang like a woman in labor and pant like thirsty harts

Finally,

Kumuyi's miracles are genuine.

You don't want to go and witness them yourself,
Nor do you believe the testimony of those that have experienced them,

In science facts are affirmed with control experiments

Why not, at least, attend a crusade organised by him with a relative or a near kin or a neighbour who's sick,

And then exercise the faith you're expected to exercise in prayers

Before trying to dispute their verity.

It takes a fractionally-distilled hypocrite to biasedly rival God the way you do

Only a sinless man, without moral defects can persuade me to stop following God and I will give a little attention to him.

But since neither the OP nor anyone else can attain righteousness except by God, then they have lost out greatly in the matter.

Hallelujah!

When persons who know nothing about God speak,
You immediately discern that they have not read their Bibles half as well as they read Economics, political science and human theories.

How else do we explain unfair criticism against God's church?

For your information, Till heaven and earth pass away the word/worship of God shall not pass away.. It's a prophecy.

Observe these lines below very well:


1 The Bible stands like a rock undaunted
'Mid the raging storms of time;
Its pages burn with the truth eternal,
And they glow with a light sublime.


The Bible stands tho' the hills may tumble,
It will firmly stand when the earth shall crumble;
I will plant my feet on its firm foundation,
For the Bible stands,
The Bible stands.


2 The Bible stands like a mountain tow'ring
Far above the works of man;
Its truth by none ever was refuted,
And destroy it they never can.


3 The Bible stands and it will forever,
When the world has passed away;
By inspiration it has been given,
All its precepts I will obey.


4 The Bible stands every test we give it,
For its Author is divine;
By grace alone I will expect to live it,
And to prove it and make it mine.

But it's dead in arrival.

Accept it or live it,

Even the governors/leaders you think might see reason in this have strong faith in God.

Yea, and some of them have experienced God's miraculous power,


Yea, many of them donate lavishly to God.

God therefore has so many on his side.

But who's on the OP's side?

Satan and a few

God is holy, so are His children.

Not that all who call upon Him are His,

Christ Jesus foretold that false prophets shall arise and deceive many.

But the Op's generalised approached is illogical.


And therefore, we can't accept opinions that are weird to logic

Let me use this opportunity to worship Him that saved me from masturbation, lying, stealing, watching porn, abusing others and committing many sins:

His name is Jesus.
I know He lives and loves me more than any pained critic.

1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.


2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.


3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail.


4 O generous love! that he who smote
in Man, for man, the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo;


4 And in the garden secretly,
and on the Cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.


5 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.

Jeremyaaa09:
We as nigerians in the cyberspace must as a matter of urgent importance support the government and media to suffocate the terrorists using the media platforms.
I want to quote Margaret Thatcher who stated "media is the oxygen on which terrorists depend" which was further reiterated by Lai Mohammed today. Terrorists want to be popular because the more they become popular, the more they achieve their goes of instilling fear, terror and devastating psychological effects on the citizens and beautifully, the Nigerian media space is being used to achieve this. I agree we have the right to know but I want you all to also know that currently, BH is happy with the media for helping their mission of terror.
Its high time the media stood on the side of the government to protect the citizens from terror and halt all forms of terrorism through well censored reportage in terms of content especially.
When BH strike, they don't count their victims per head and they calmly wait for the media to tell them how successful they were and how weak the govt forces were. Also, the media must stop publicing intelligent information against terror groups as it aids in changing their modus operandi.
Of what good is it to both the media and her audience if the death toll was 26 or over 50? Will it not be on the gain for the BH sect to measure the degree of their success and ways to improve? Does it not cause more panics to us all?
Please our media, use the cyberspace infrastructure to weaken and suffocate terrorists rather than making them terror/dreaded celebrity. Use the social platform as a tool for sustaining peace and democracy.
God bless the media,
God bless the military,
God bless Nigeria.

N.B: I am not a lying liar nor a wailing wailer but a true Nigerian.

You're wrong.

The truth provokes proportional retaliation.

Without such provocation, I wonder if our soldiers can be motivated by any other means.

Talking about being terrified?
Who's afraid of Boko Haram at this time?
If you don't feel rage against them,
then there's a marvelous and damnable cowardice in you.

But, if Boko haram learns how greatly *successful they've been, it can relax their zeal;

They can be so puffed up with pride and slump into carelessness.
It's possible.

But lies will only cloud the people over with false sense of security,
And shrinked-casualty-size reporting might fuel the madness of the insurgents
because
the media makes it look like they don't prove any point.

But their real intention is to prove a point again, again, and again; and all over, and again till they rise to a dominion

Anticabal:
We understand that kumuyi now preaches to only yoruba muslim. I think it is the right thing to do. yoruba muslims need more preaching that Igboland.

ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD - Rom. 8:28

It would be hyper-myopia tho think that Jireh isn't aware of what is happening in Nigeria now.
He uses all things to work His own will and enshrine balance and order in His ways!

However, the allegation isn't true.
KUMUYI had been touring all parts of Nigeria these years, before Radio Biafra went hay wire.

Also know that everyone needs God alike.

God has no more favourites since the day Christ died to break down all walls of race, spiritual favouritism and importancy.

Be well

PentiumPro:
I don't see Kanu having the last laugh.
You don't wish harm to people like Kumuyi that never wishes harm to anyone.

Kumuyi is first a preacher of forgiveness, mercy, holiness, peace and love.

I wonder if he will ever desire vengeance.

He believes the chiefest of sinners can be saved.

Saul of Tarsus did more harm than Kanu has done, yet God saved Him.

Christians can only pray for their enemies and insist that God's perfect will be done.

I love Kumuyi.

But I don't think secession is sin.

If colonialism is sin,
Seccesional rearrangement is righteousness.

Thanks.

I weep for my generation.

No one has the right to conjecture the final end of any man.

Moreover, why would God use a little girl?

Satan uses tools that are ignorant of the scriptures.

The men know that they'll make it or not, unless they've become reprobates.

If they must be warned, there are seasoned and sincere ministers God can use.

But using an ignorant child is aimed at destroying the Christian's confidence in those God has set over the church.

It may seem they're speaking God's mind, but on the other hand they destroy our confidence in the few faithful apostles.

God hasn't set children and novices over the church - 1 Cor. 12: 28 >28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

We won't listen to Satan even if he transforms himself into an angel of light - 2 Cor. 11:14 >And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness.

Satan is sly.
My advice to everyone is, repent and be full of God's Spirit.
You'll have assurance, and can't be moved by tales as this.

Thank God for W.F. Kumuyi and his likes who don't give such errors any place.

obailala:
It's funny how these largely young Biafran separatists have failed to educate themselves and always point to Spanish separatists and Scotland as perfect examples of nations separating without conflict. Just for your information, Nnamdi kanu was actually right when he said no nation separates peacefully. Scotland has been fighting for independence for centuries and it hasnt always been peaceful. Similarly, the Basque group in Spain has been fighting for independence for ages and their struggle has not been a peaceful one. The Basque separatists at some point were even involved in bombing airports and mass killings. No nation sits back and watches its territory being balkanised, not even an Igbo president will sit back and watch part of Nigerian territory being carted away by one group called ipob or massob.

So the big question is, are these young boisterous and naive separatists ready to sacrifice their lives, the lives of family members and their livelihoods over the election loss of an Ijaw man?... (because no matter how we look at it, the recent escalation of agitations were triggered after the elections). Unlike the 60's when the entire Igbo race was united in this cause, how many comfortable, truly educated and truly enlightened Igbos do you think are actually interested in this crazy road to perdition?... I for one am not interested in it for simple reasons.

Now regarding your question about why there is so much hate for the biafran separatist, the answer to that is very simple and it stares you in the face even though you have obviously refused to see it. Does statement, "the zoo must fall" ring a bell?... That statement doesnt exactly sound like an expression of love or respect does it?.... have you ever spent 5 minutes listening to the cringe inducing hate speeches churned out by mr kanu and spread by his followers on facebook et al?... and with those diabolic hate messages, you expect the subject and object of this hate to reciprocate with love?...

I would close this epistle with a popular Igbo proverb by the great Chinua Achebe:- "the man who brings home ant infested firewood should not complain when lizards start to visit"

How enlightened were the myriad minds and tactics that removed Jonathan from office, or that massively voted against him?

He that appeals to commonsense must do so with a clear conscience and clean hands.

How awful stands Kanu's passive hate in the scale of discreet judgement?
Have not Nigerian judges dismissed them as inconsequential?
So, what manner of straw are you blindly grasping thereafter?

But how informed is the FG's decision to detain him still?
I'll opine barbaric rather.

And what is the ratio of the truly educated/enlightened to the *illiterates among the South-Easterners?
Lets say 1:9.

Their numerical strength/voice is too small to derail the Biafran cause going by the above statistics, my man.
Moreso, referendum would largely be an issue of numbers than it would be an issue of reason,
Although I don't see any reason Biafra is an unreasonable quest.

However, may I let you know that both the truly educated and half-educated/enlightened have bought the idea well.

I knew that from my private interactions.

To us, life is sacred; and being mainly Christians, a man's life is of more value than unity and wealth of many nations.

So long as the unity of Nigeria is hinged on occasional/marginal shedding of the blood of the innocent southerners,
It's impossible for that unity to be perceived as healthful and logical by any truly enlightened/educated minds.

Finally, secession is no transgression.

Why?
Abraham seceded from Lot, and it didn't make any of them ungodly.
Some Israelites seceded from the promised land and dwelled beyond Jordan because it favoured their occupation.
Etc

Remember that God told the Israelites to govern themselves and not to make strangers their kings no matter what - Deaut. 17: 14, 15.
A people of distinct culture, values, beliefs and brotherhood have the right to be ruled by their own in a nation of their own.

I think I too am enlightened.
I cannot say 'no' to the Biafran cause.

This is my opinion and persuasion

malvisguy212:
There are many people who seems to disagree with the celebration of Christmas. Jehovah's Witnesses, teach that it is a sin to observe Christmas at all. Is it a sin to celebrate Jesus' birthday?.
Yes, Christmas is not mentioned in the Bible. There is NO command for believers to observe or celebrate Jesus' birthday. It is a matter of PERSONAL CHOICE . I think it is acceptable to observe Christmas; or not to observe Christmas. I think it is not a sin to celebrate Christmas to a degree, anymore than it would be sinful to celebrate the birthday of a family member. I think it is appropriate to celebrate the Lord's birthday for those who choose to do so.

This lead us to many questions such as :
Jesus was not born in December? What about the pagan origin? Santa clause, e.t.c
First, a person who was born on February 29 (leap year) only celebrate his birthday after 4 years, is it sinful to chose another day to celebrate it ? I personally do not think so. Likewise, I see no harm in celebrating Jesus' birthday on December 25th,even if His actual birthday rests in a different month and date.I think it is a wonderful thing to celebrate the birth of the Savior, God's gift to mankind.

Doesn't Christmas has pagan origin ? So does the names of the week, if your birthday fall in Saturday (Saturn) will you celebrate it as a devoted christian because Saturn is one of the pagan gods? The truth is that Christians today celebrate the holiday in an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MANNER. There are many wonderful Gospel hymns which have been written to worship Jesus at Christmas time; such as, Silent Night, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem, Joy To The World. I think it would be a mistake to overlook Christmas entirely, and miss out on the opportunity to witness to the lost during the emotional Christmas season. Many hearts have been turned to the Lord during the Christmas holiday , is it sinful to present track to the lost ?No evidence exists that the Christian leaders who began this practice consciously wanted to compromise with paganism.

In conclusion, there are two ways in celebrating Christmas;
Conclusion
1. The Worldly Way :
Santa Claus, the north pole, elves, , secular songs about Christmas, booze, parties, Rock music,et cetera.
2. The Christian Way:
Jesus Christ, Christmas carols, soulwinning, a nativity scene, helping the poor in Jesus' name, et cetera.

Romans 14:5-6
One man regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. LET EACH MAN BE FULLY CONVINCED IN HIS OWN MIND . HE WHO OBSERVES THE DAY OBSERVES IT FOR THE LORD , and he who eats, does so for the Lord, FOR HE GIVES THANKS TO GOD ; and he who eats not, for the Lord he does not eat, and GIVES THANKS TO GOD .

HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

CHRISTMAS has a pagan root and idolatrous laces.
