Why is Keshi still keeping ideye

Our finishing is so poor. Guys seem to get confused when they get near the post.

You just mentioned everything that is done in every church. By your inference, all churches are cult houses abi? Or are you just trying to justify your tormented mind for not going to church?

This morning, I reminisce over how I had faith in God and yet did not receive what I wanted.

My Story

I was to do an exam for promotion in my place of work. I was told that it was impossible to get this promotion except you know somebody's high up who can help you. I was told that my result will not count. I trusted God for it, read very well, made the first papers, made the second and was told by the executives that I outshined every other in the last examination. I was confident I will make it. Somebody told me he could help me get the job through a senator, irrespective of my mark and I refused the offer. I trusted God to help me through it. I told myself "if faith I want to see it happen in my life" I wanted to practice what I preach. Days before the last result came out, I had two dreams. In the first, I saw a man who told me they are trying to change my result and give my place to another. I prayed but did not go to any person for help. In the second dream, I saw I had 96% and it was changed to 56% which was below the cut off point. I did a lot of praying and held on to God, refusing to take the easy way. To tell you the truth, getting the job for me was like life and death, yet i layed it up to God to decide. The result came out and I didn't make it. I was devastated. I threw it all on trusting God and it did not work. I lost so much loosing that opportunity and all my colleague though I was very stupid because they were all aware of all the connections in my arsenal.

Looking back now, I see it has all been for good. I never lost faith in God despite the fact that I didn't get what I wanted then. Now I am better for it, running my own company.

God takes us through some circumstances just to give us better testimony in time to come. Like The story of Lazarus in the bible in John 11. Jesus sent message to Lazarus that he will not die, yet Lazarus died. You sometimes may hear God speak to you about something and yet it did not manifest. This is usually because He wants to use you to manifest His Glory. In the later verse of that bible passage, Jesus rose Lazarus again from the dead. That changed a lot of people's mind about Jesus and power of God.

Seun, if faith has failed you, it was because God had something greater for you and you didn't know it. After praying, if somebody you love die, if maybe because God knew what evil the existence of such person will cause. If you understand how God works, you will know that all things that happen to us are always for our Good.

In Luke 22:32, Jesus told peter he prayed for him so that his faith will not fail. This mean faith can fail but what will not fail is God and his word.

Pastor Kun: Thank God the girl as been found, to God be the glory and may his name be praised forever more.

PS: but why are these pentecostal churches always eager to give the credit to their leader Must every good development be seen as a marketing opportunity for their brand. One would have thought as christians they ought to give all glory to God as God does not share his glory with any man. Btw Oyedepo chasing the kidnapper with a sword in his dreams sounds occultic to me and not the way the holy spirit would operate.

I read all the post before yours and I did not see any body sing praise to Bishop Oyedepo. You must be one disgruntled church outcast that consoles himself with deriding the work of God and the men of God just because you were ostracized. You still put pastor in front of your name, a pathetic attempt to remind yourself of your lost glory. Please get a life and stop always criticizing the work and men of God as is typical of you.

fitzmayowa: This is a case of kettle calling a pot black, what as her husband GEJ aka RETARDINHO achieved in almost 4years in power...I dey laff ooo

Please brother, the adage is " Pot calling kettle black" not the other way round. It simple means an Hypocrite.

Ot break it done, if a pot that is always on fire and becomes black easily start telling a kettle that is seldom on fire black, that is be Wuse it is not looking at itsself first. That's hypocrisy, self denial, self delusion and pride. kapisce?

dvdon: Illuminati does not exist as we think, d musician are using it to look fierce n strong.

Oh I see.. And they couldnt use lion, eagle, bear for strong and fierce, it's a goat that fit your description abi? Oh I get it now.

You don hit my car ..... ........

Hello All,

How do I insert an online payment gateway on my website. I am developing with PHP.

Vwandyboy: ask em bro cheap poor china fone!!!!! For poor pple.... My BBQ10 wud by all ur tecno Times X3

A typical Nigerian, who will not buy a product because of its functionality but because of its price so that he can brag to others about it, even though he had to borrow money to buy it. You know what is? It's called a complex.

OAM4J: His analysis sounds reasonable and convincing till he mentioned Ameachi as the best VP candidate for opposition. I doubt Ameachi or anyone from core South-south can give the opposition the votes they need against Jonathan. Oshiomole will even deliver more votes from SS than Ameachi. IMO, the best candidates for opposition VP position are Rochas and Fashola.

Fashola for his track records on performance will pull most of SW posts especially the undecided/neutral people. Rochas can divide SE votes between Jonathan and Opposition, cos some (who believe/know that there is no way GEJ can handover Presidency to SE after him) will see him as the most likely presidential candidate if Tambuwal/Buhari/whoever should win as president.

Overall, fair assessment.

I am beginning to be irritated by the the fact that everybody thinks next presidency must come from the north. For goodness sake, are all PDP members? If we are looking at taking power from GEJ, why must we be thinking it must go to a northerner. I cannot see what the Tambuwal has done for Nigeria that we think he deserves the presidency. This is a man whose House of representative members are accused of corruption on daily bases. I am sure he gets a cut from all the money they steal. More annoying is to line the likes of Ameachi, Okorocha and Fashola behind Tambuwal. Are you kidding me? Oh I know why, they are not from core north.

Nigerians must break the northern presidency jinx before we find ourselves along the same decadence trend they have always put us. As usual, they make the nation ungovernable for anyone who is nt from the north. When I say north, I mean core not, that is why they are not even thinking of the likes of David mark for presidency even though he is from north central.

Twenty minutes to midnight on February 25, 2013, and a day before the board of the Central Bank of Nigeria was due to meet, Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi developed a craving for romance-he badly needed a kiss.

The governor, married, with children, grabbed his mobile phone and typed out a message. "Maybe you should come kiss me before board meeting tomorrow," Mr. Sanusi wrote and then squeezed the send button.

At about 9 a.m. the next day, Mrs. Maryam Yaro, a married mother of two, an assistant director and subordinate to the governor at the CBN, arrived Sanusi's unnamed Abuja hotel, seeking to keep the date and help address her boss' craving for a kiss. (Insiders say board members, including those who live in Abuja, are usually lodged in hotels ahead of board meetings).

But by the time Mrs. Yaro left the hotel to return to her official desk at the CBN, the duo had also struck out an arrangement to spend the rest of the week together in Lagos.

So, in the evening of Wednesday February 27, Mrs. Yaro flew to Lagos ahead of Mr. Sanusi and checked into a hotel in the city, skipping work, at taxpayers' expense, on Thursday February 28 and Friday, March 1.



To keep faith with Mrs. Yaro's date, the CBN governor arrived Lagos, travelling on a chartered flight, on the night of February 28, and checked into the Federal Palace Hotel, passage and boarding all at taxpayers' expense.

Both Mr. Sanusi and Mrs. Yaro rendezvoused in the hotel till Sunday when both of them returned to Abuja, it was learnt.

"…I had such a wonderful weekend," Mrs. Yaro confessed to the governor while aboard her Abuja-bound flight. "You have revived in me what I thought I lost long ago. I thought I lost the passion to love again," she claimed.

"Alhamdulillahi. Love you," Mr. Sanusi responded in a measured tone.

Insiders say repeated violation of the statutory code of conduct for public office holders such as hiring his girlfriends and mistresses without complying with public service rules, dating married and unmarried women within the bank, and flirting with them during official work hours have become defining characters of Mr. Sanusi's governorship of the central bank.

An official of the bank spoke of how Mr. Sanusi had enthroned nepotism at the bank, arbitrarily hiring girlfriends and relatives and engaging in extramarital relationships with staff.

"This man (the CBN governor) is the most morally bankrupt governor the CBN has ever had," the official, who did not want to be named for fear of retribution, said. "Forget all the pretences, he is a shameless man of loose character."

Investigations by this newspaper revealed that Mr. Lamido hired his latest mistress, Mrs. Yaro, without complying with the CBN recruitment policy that stressed, "all appointments shall be made on the basis of merit, through a fair and open selection process."

"The principles underlying the recruitment process are those of fairness, credibility, equal employment opportunities, merit and optimization of career prospects for currently employed staff," the bank said on its website.

But Mrs. Yaro, insiders say, was hired in July 2012 without adherence to these principles. Those who should know say Mrs. Yaro, who was a staff at the National Programme on Food Security, an agency under the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, was brought into the bank as assistant director without "advert for the vacancy and after a kangaroo interview."

When contacted, Mr. Sanusi said due process was followed in hiring Mrs. Yaro.

He said having worked for years in the ministry of Agric, Mrs. Yaro came highly recommended and qualified for the job for which she was hired.

The CBN governor continued, "I have known Dr. Yaro since 1981. She was my student in Yola and she later came to ABU Zaria. We have been very good friends but this is not why NIRSAL took her. You may wish to check her CV against all the other CVs in NIRSAL. And she did go through an interview process with the NIRSAL CEO making the decision not CBN HR.

"As for the personal allegations, this is all strange to me but I have a personal policy of not responding to such allegations since in Nigeria anything can be published on any public officer without proof. I have limited myself to what concerns official allegations and leave you to your God and your conscience on whatever else you want to publish. Thank you for telling me though."

Mrs. Yaro however declined comments when contacted.

"Be careful what you are saying," she told one of our reporters on the telephone. "I have nothing to comment to you on anything."

When asked if she would be willing to respond to specific questions about her trips to Lagos to keep dates with Mr. Sanusi, she simply said, "Whatever it is, I don't know. Will you just let me be?"

But our investigations revealed that the governor's claim was far from accurate. Through several interviews and review of records, PREMIUM TIMES was able to determine that Mrs. Yaro and Mr. Sanusi had dated each other for at least six months before she was hired.

Insiders say Mr. Sanusi repeatedly pestered the human resource department of the bank ordering it to bring Mrs. Yaro's application to him for approval. And once the file reached his table, the Governor wasted no time in treating it.

On June 25, 2012, Mr. Sanusi, who was travelling in South Africa at the time, telephoned Mrs. Yaro to break the news to her that he had approved her recruitment in what critics consider a clear conflict of interest and a violation of a provision of Nigeria's Code of Conduct which stipulates that "a public officer shall not put himself in a position where his interest conflicts with his duties and responsibilities."

Mrs. Yaro, (whose businessman husband, Ahmed, is largely based in Kaduna but visits Abuja regularly) assumed duties at the CBN in the first week of September 2012 and was deployed to the Development Finance Department.

The department then put her in charge of the bank's Nigerian Incentive-Based Risk Sharing System For Agricultural Lending, (NIRSAL), a unit that attempts to fix the agricultural value chain, so that banks can lend with confidence to the sector and, encourages banks to lend to the agricultural value chain by offering them strong incentives and technical assistance.

Sources said Mrs. Yaro married Ahmed (or Shuaib, according to another source) six years ago after her first husband, Waisu Yaro Bodinga (then an executive director at the Nigeria Ports Authority) died in the ill-fated ADC plane crash of 2006.

The romance between Mrs. Yaro and Mr. Sanusi became even hotter after she began work at the bank, with the two lovers regularly exchanging telephone calls and text messages during work hours to profess love for each other.

At times, Mrs. Yaro would remain in her office far beyond close of work to enable her to keep appointments with the CBN governor, records show.

Sometimes, Mrs. Yaro would raise concerns about Mr. Sanusi's other girlfriends and mistresses (such as Sutura and Rose) and how they were blocking her from getting the governor's full attention, but the relationship continued nonetheless.

Mrs. Yaro also began to have access to confidential information known only to top management and board of the bank, insiders say.

At a point, one source said, she began to strategise to corner contracts for one Goke Akinboro, the Chief Executive Officer of Lagos-based Cellullant Limited, an information technology company. Mr. Akinboro is also described as "very close" to Mrs. Yaro.

On March 15, 2013, the CBN lovers headed to Lagos again for another weekend of fun. The initial plan was for the duo to fly to the nation's commercial capital on Saturday, March 16, returning to Abuja on Sunday. But the trip had to be brought forward by a day after the lovers realized that the Area Council election in Abuja was holding that Saturday and that movement might be restricted.

Mrs. Yaro arrived Lagos on the night of March 15, and immediately checked into the Radisson Blu Anchorage Hotel on Victoria Island. Mr. Sanusi flew from Kano to Lagos via chartered jet on the bills of the Nigerian taxpayers. He arrived at about 11 p.m., stopped by his Ikoyi home, before dashing to the hotel where Mrs. Yaro was waiting in a seductive dress in Room 23. The lovers spent that night and the next day together in the hotel.

As he flew into Abuja March 17 on a chartered jet, Mr. Sanusi sent a message to Mrs. Yaro saying, "Love. Just landed in Abuja. Thank you for a wonderful weekend." Mrs. Yaro replied, "Alhamdulillah. I had a wonderful weekend too. I am able to get the 3:15 flight on Arik Air. Love you."

But in-between those rendezvous in Lagos, Mr. Sanusi and Mrs Yaro also found time to get together elsewhere. They were to meet on March 11, 2013, in Makurdi but somehow Mrs. Yaro could not make it to the Benue State capital. But earlier on February 14, (Valentine's Day), the lovers had a good time together in Maiduguri. Although, the two of them travelled to the city on different missions, they somehow found a way to get together.

At a point, Mrs. Yaro voiced open frustration when Mr. Lamido delayed in taking her calls as she tried, frantically, to track him down. "I'm thinking that one Shuwa girl has snatched you away from me," Mrs. Yaro wrote in a message. "I don't trust them (Maiduguri girls) with you."

A velvet-ranking figure within Nigeria's economic and political circles, Mr. Sanusi, is generally perceived as one of the intellectual anchors and moral conscience of this administration. When his five-year term expires next year, he has indicated he would not renew his contract. Mr. Sanusi has a well-advertised ambition to become the future emir of his native Kano, where he is already a top chieftaincy holder (Dan Maje Kano). Dan Majen Kano, a historic title, which means Son of Emir-Maje, is reserved for the royal family members from the Kano Habe dynasty.

A zigzag prospect to run for the Nigerian presidency is also believed to be floating in the horizon for Mr. Sanusi.

Multiple sources at both the CBN and First Bank, where Mr. Sanusi was managing director before his appointment to the central bank, describe the governor as an "incurable womanizer."

"This guy seems unable to resist anything in skirt, and it is unfortunate that a lot of young people look up to him as an example," one of Mr. Sanusi's aides in Abuja said, expressing widely held concerns in banking circles that "It is sad that he wouldn't even let married women be."

Mr. Sanusi, 51, appointed CBN Governor on June 3 2009, is a smart economist and award-winning banker with a background in risk management.

He holds a graduate degree in economics from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and a diploma in Sharia and Islamic Studies from the African International University in Khartoum, Sudan. Today, Mr. Sanusi is also commonly regarded as an important voice in Islamic jurisprudence.

The Banker, the UK-based financial magazine honoured him in 2010 as global Central Bank Governor of the Year as well as African Central Bank Governor of the Year. In 2011, the TIME magazine listed Mr. Sanusi in its annual publication of 100 most influential people.

At the African Banker Awards gala dinner held Wednesday in Morocco, Mr. Sanusi also emerged the "2013 Africa Central Bank Governor of the Year."

"There is no doubt that he is a fairly effective banker," an official of one of Nigeria's leading banks, who requested anonymity for fear his bank might be targeted, told PREMIUM TIMES. "But he is a man of zero morality despite his public posturing. It is really sad.

stonebridge: Are muslim men allowed to join Freemasonry?. If no, why and is there are injunction against masonry in the holy quran?

Seriously I don't see any different between Freemason and Islam. I think Freemasons are even better in terms of believe. At least they are not killing people anyhow. I think they are both birds of same feather.

Afam4eva:
So, why does he preach at all. Shouldn't he allow people to make up their mind? This is a lame excuse for not calling out evil when he sees it. He owes that much to his congregation. I don't expect you guys to see reason anywys. Anything that concern your demi-god pastors makes you guys to reason backward. I never knew that a day will come when we'll be told that it's not advisable to speak on troubling National issues in order not to influence anyone. WTH.

If you have been to the Redeemed camp you will see how they pray every time for the country. Some of the prayer point states that God should remove every one who want to spoil this country, God should change the heart of our current leaders, and that God should choose for us leaders that will help the people hand not destroy them. I don't know which other support you expect from a man of God for his country. Your idea of a concerned and talking Nigerian is the one who goes on the pages of news paper to talk about issues. That is where you are mistaking; Bloggers and forum owners uses the Internet to propagate their views about Nigeria, musicians uses their songs, actors uses their films, a man of God should use prayer. If God will act, He will use is power to change Nigerian and not go to the pages of newspaper or an Internet forum.

Mogidi:



This would rank as one of the biggest deceit in human history if the west indeed have the above yet rely solely on our oil. Sorry to have to spell it out crudely, but without our crude (pun intended) you guys will starve.

Excuse me, how do you mean? The west as no reliance whatsoever on south south oil. The west has its oil and many more mineral resources but they don't rely on it. The intellect and way of life of the west is their strength and is what they survive on. That is why they always excel over the other tribe in all facet of the the Nigerian industry.

It's a shame that you guys have nothing to boast of but oil. Diamonds in the hands of cavemen is nothing but stone.

I had an unpleasant encounter with some police men around 9pm when I coundnt produced my drivers license. I beg them, explaining that i left my wallet, where the drivers license is, at home but they refused. I even asked one of the passenger in my car to quickly run home and pick if for me since my house was not far from the location and I am permitted within the confines of the law to produced it within 24 hours. These police men did not agree o, they insisted on inpounding my vehicle because I didn't want to give them money, they took my car to their station, collected my keys and was going to leave me stranded in their police station despite the fact that the person who has gone to pick my license was almost close to reaching us with the license. It was another police who one of the person in my car happen to know that beg them o. They didn't didn't even wait to see the drivers license when it came, before releasing my keys.


In another incidence, my brother who is into car tracking business tracked and stopped a stolen car of one of his client. On getting to the location, the informed police men, heavily armed, saw the four robbers and arrested them - they were caught off guard and unarmed. Some hours later, my brother called his client to know the status of the case and he was told that the police men did not get the robbers to the police station. They said the rubbers escaped on the way to the station. Now they can't move their car because it had become an exhibit- can you imagine? The rubbers had obviously brided their way out.


What do you think we can do to rid the nation off these corruption soaked police men. The hight of insecurity is when those who are paid to protect you are the one making your life insecure. I beg what is the way forward.

I love islam!

My sister, it's better not to says anything because the bolder may still earn you a be-heading. Ask Salman Rushdie, he will tell you that even if you become Islam and go to mosque to pray 20 times a day, as long as a fatwa is on you will still be wanted dead or if you go to the north and you are a Yoruba or Igbo Muslim, you are still wanted dead. better not say anything. Infact, those who didn't say anything were still killed. Maybe you should just unsubscribe anytime you see a post pertaining to Islam.

It tooke me about 20mins to post this letter because my Internet connection just went down. That got me thinking -Is my Internet connection now afraid to post anything concerning Islam I tire o.

If this is the mentality of ACN, then I am afraid they are not worthy to be voted for. They will indeed make Nigeria worse. If ACN means what they just said, this is what will happen if they win come 2015. They will accommodate Boko Haram, then OPC will rise up and they will accommodate them and be negotiating with them, then Niger Delta Militant will rise and they will still be playing with them. This groups would have killed 1000s and yet they will still be negotiating, parting them in the back, evil groups will then take over the country. I truely pray and hope they don't win with such mentality. Nigeria will be in deep trouble if they do.

christemmbassey: what is the dif between this ur post and the OP? I tot u're in support of all the activities of who ever calls himself 'pastor', u even call me names etc, welcome to truth. God bless.

I did not call u names. Sorry, if u think I did that.

What I just did was correct a notion not condemn and my response was directed at the one who made the error. This is actually my point, we should be bold to stand against what we feel need to change in our respective churches. I will feel offended, If I make mistake as your brother and you go ahead to gossip me without letting me know you opinion about my act. It's tantamount to betrayal.

I did not abuse you and I did not target my response to any specific person.

christemmbassey: where did Jesus hide and call the religious leaders of his time, hypocrites and whitewashed graves? Let me tell you, if u dont know, the pastor is NOT the church, he is only a member of the church, 1cor12:27. The OP is not about church, but REAL PASTORS, Jesus knew about FAKE PASTORS/FALSE PROPHETS, that he warned us in Matt7:15-20, and Titus1:10-11 says that their mouth should be stoped, this is even the work of the genuine pastors and every decerning christian. Now my brother tell me what you are defending, thieves(jn10:10), false prophets, traders, money doublers and agents of satan. God bless.

My brother, I am not defending anybody. What is wrong is wrong and I will not support such. I am only saying that we should correct wrong doing according to biblical principles. Two wrongs can't make a right. As Christians, we have a battle to fight, it's a battle against the devil and not ourselves. It's a thin line that we all easily cross.

In another wrd, no matter what my blood brother does to me, I don't complain to the newspapers or tell the whole world. We settle it inside the house. Reason why their is decay in the church is because those who know the truth are too afraid to say it. we are as guilty has the one taking advantage of our negligence. the Burian Christian in the bible will not accept any doctrine except they have confirmed it is correct. If the church need help, be the help it needs and not complicate it. there are two side, those who cause or contribute to the problem and those who solve it.

teniyi: We still have Rev King in Prison, also TB Joshua another good Pastor. Lol

I don't know why people see the kind of giving that TB Joshua does as good. this is against the scriptures and it's hypocrisy. Scriptural giving says you should do it in secret and not make it public so that you can receive reward from God. bible says if you do it for men to see, you already have your reward. This is why many genuine men of God don't publicse their giving. It's unscriptural. I know first and that RCCG do a lot of giving, they have orphanage, give people scholarship, train people on handle work, involve in community services like giving food to communities, building village centers for villages, sending relief materilas to people who are involved in any disaster, give free medical attention and drugs to the sick and many more. This is a mandatory aspect of the church day to day runs. You can ask any one who is very close to the church administration to confirm this- I speak first hand.

this givings are not publicised by the church because Jesus says we should not do it and if we are true sons of God we should obey His commandment. It is surprising when I see so called men of God seeking human approval by publicizing the small givings they do. It is unbiblical and every true man of God should know this simple principle.
mathew 6:1-4
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

christemmbassey: which church will you speak the truth that they will not brand you agent of satan? Dont you know that in most churches now the words of the GO is the bible? Oga, we will shout it on the mountains, over the hills and everywhere untill they change or until the guilible brethren recover themselve and walk out of their bondage. Pastor Kun, God bless you plenty.

I am not sure you noticed where I said its ungodliness to do so, and I also gave a bible reference. bible goes against it because accusing church, is doing the work of the devil for him. Bible says this is a sin and any true child of God will desist from sin. Except you are of the devil- a wolf in sheep clothing.

Don't think some of us don't know that many of you who hail stones at the church are not of God. Shout it at the roof top but the gate of hell wil not prevail. ISA 54:17b says " ... Their righteousness if of me, saiths the Lord" what God is saying is, " I am the one who decides if what they are doing is righteous or not, I am the only one who sees their intent and I alone can judge them correctly". When you take the position of condemnation, judgement or accusing, you choose the side of the Devil. Every child of God has just one mandate from God and that is Preach the Gospel. Anything beyond this comes from the devil. I am therefore not surprise that some will talk anyhow against the body of Christ because they are not of us.

Pastor Kun: So what happens when the Pastors are busy copying themselves especially in the financial modelling that they have reckoned as the manifestation of success in Ministry? do you still get the pastor you deserve then? No doubt there are a few out there that are not infatuated by money and how to use gimmickry to pull it out of the pockets of the dazzled and mesmerized members, but overall, the true proof of pastoral care is lost.

Jesus asked - 'what do you want me to do for you'?
The pastor is a shepherd and should be ready to lay his life down for the sheep, is that the case of most pastors? Hell no, they haven't cared enough to lay down their unnecessary desire to compete with the corporate world in showcasing the trappings of financial success.
How would they care for the sheep? How would they not have a desire to bring the sheep together to milk/fleece them so they can keep up appearances that 'The Lord is Good All the time'?

The ministry is not an enterprise or business, its a work of sacrifice, not a profit driven, heartless endeavor to maximize returns but a selfless love driven effort to reach out to those that God brings your way with the mind of doing your best in every way to make their lives better because by gathering them, certainly you would be better too.

Instead of turning the blind eye and throwing all these funny ridiculous sayings about, put pressure on your pastor to make him/her more like Jesus and be the good shepherd that cares more for others than for himself, gives to others more than what he gives to himself.

Many of the Things you say are true but that is not what bothers me. I am amazed that you being a pastor, will think that the right place to correct the church is in the world. You spill out the wrongs and "dirty linen" of your own house to unbelievers, atheist, Muslims and all the liks to judge? That bothers me a lot. It's an holier than thou attitude- self righteousness. you don't caste your pearls to swines. What happens in the House should stay in the house and should be settled in the House. The bible frowns against, Christians taking church issues or fellow brothers issue to the world to judge; infact it says is a shameful act . Please read 1 Cor 6:1-8.

It's about time we learnt to stand up for the truth in the church and not to be hypocritical. Same people who shouted " hosanna in the highest" to Jesus, shouted " crucify in" in less than a week later. Its the same christians that tells pastor to ride on, that will come to nairaland to say they are false prophet and then allow all kinds pf people to give unsavoury comment about the work of God.If the church is not doing well or offends you, then it's the church you should tender your case to not the world.

iebanehita:

So, u r sayin d Spirit is being Selective or wat?!.. Pls bury ds thought of urs.

I agree wit musKeeto. The demands of d society on d female folks make dem susceptible. Hence, in major families, d onus is on d women to secure d family SPIRITUALLY. Men are less concerned in ds area.ds maks d female folks go d extra-mile in seeking for spiritual help. Thus, they become gullible.

Excuse me, being gullible cannot make you fall against your will. Even if you want to fall, you will still not fall. You all like questioning Spiritual things. Spiritual things are foolishness to ordinary men, the bible says.

My opinion to this is that women, from time immemorial, are susceptible to spiritual manipulation. Many of them come to the church either possessed,obsessed, suppressed or oppressed by the devil. Check the bible, most of the people that are used of the devil are women; right from Adams. When they fall under the anointing, it because the power of God is at war with the power of the devil that as possessed, oppressed, suppress or obsessed them. If a so called 'man of God' uses evil power in the church, they are also the target because they are more susceptible. Remember, the devil did not tempt Adam until Eve was made. It's not womens fault, it's just the way they are made.

shdemidemi: That anointing was not mentioned in the whole of the New Testament should tell Christians, it is irrelevant in this dispensation.
Don't be fooled by magicians and fraudsters

You are probably a jehovah witness or orthodox, justifying the absence of God in their congregation with cunningly devices fables. How about all of us going naked because it was never mentioned in the new testament to wear cloth. I can tell you a million thing that is not good but was not mentioned in the new testament. The holy spirit instructs us on things Jesus didn't tell us. Oh I forgot, you probably don't believe in the holy spirit either.

Yomieluv: We really need to change our mentality,if it were Africa,it would have been attributed to witchcraft,and some pastors,and imams would quickly use that to defraud gullible victims.

Africa truly has a long way to go.
*back to topic* God is indeed awesome.

oh i see... when something strange happens and oyinbo people give you an explanation to it you say its normal. As long as they can explain it, it is not spiritual abi? ok o.
