One was driving on wrong lane. The second one left his lane to quickly tell his colleague something. Sack am.

I think it's a good church policy and tradition but not a bible law. Wisdom is profitable to direct. It may not necessarily be a confession before the whole church. I don't think the aim is to disgrace the erring one but for accountability. Since such a person might need to step back/down from church ministry for a while. Then there's need for the appropriate people to know why. In all, the Spirit of God should guide our actions. Some confession sef can weak many.

I say this to the glory of God
God is capable of doing anything, with him there is no impossibility

I woke up at 12 midnight to pray
I started reading the bible
All of a sudden, I felt very very very pressed to visit the washroom.

I didn't like to go because it was very late, and it would disrupt my prayer. My washroom is outside of my bedroom and hall so would mean I had to open the door and walk out, I didn't want to.

I felt more pressed
So I exercised my faith, even though my faith was very small. I Felt the Lord doesn't deal with little things such as blocking my bowels temporarily

I commanded my bowels to be still. It will sound funny to you, but I am damn serious.

All of a sudden, I didn't feel that loo visiting sensation anymore. I prayed, slept and woke up at 7am, before I finally used the washroom.

Jesus is real.

Jesus is real. But you don't prove so or glorify Him by saying things that will cause more doubt and backlash than believe. It can happen and maybe it happened, but it remains personal and unprovable. And I'll advice you not to continue that way. It can have negative effects on your health. God gave you a body which is His temple and your responsibility to take care of. Doing unnatural and absurd things with it will cause problems. Jesus Himself was thirsty, hungry, sleepy and tired. He didn't "use faith" to wave off these natural things. Take note.

The devil is a liar.

Preciousgirl:
Must a born again adulterous wife confess her past adultery to her husband?

Scriptural support will be appreciated

Yes. She broke a vow of fidelity to each other. She should prayerfully do it with counsel of more mature spiritual people. This will give her a clear mind and conscience without offence. Nobody can blackmail her or surprise her in future too.

LordReed:
Ok I see what you are saying.

Good. Thanks.

LordReed:
So when a muslim becomes a Christian he is not really a Christian?

He is. He doesn't make all Muslims to be Christians. Same way a mustard plant that grows to BECOME a tree doesn't make all mustard trees. Understood?

LordReed:
Ok so you were inaccurate just like the dead jew?

What and where is inaccurate? Why are you jumping about from pillar to post like one on heat? BECOME already shows it is not a tree. What inaccuracy is there again? Is the mustard not a herb?

LordReed:
Really? A muslim can't become a Christian?

I am more relevant to my family than Jesus because I am alive and more capable of love than a dead jew.

A Muslim can BECOME a Christian, which is exceptional not usual. It is called conversion. Not every Muslim becomes Christian. Same way a mustard plant can grow with potential to what can be called a tree. That's the aim of the whole parable. The great potential of having even the littlest faith. It was not a botany class. Millions if not billions of people have gotten the point made over the centuries. It is unfortunate that you think it is a botany research work he was presenting.

LordReed:
Matthew 13
31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

Jesus said the mustard seed grows into a tree however there is no mustard specie that grows into a tree. Sure they can grow quite large,as much as 12feet in some cases but it still doesn't qualify it as a tree.

It is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree. Very simple English this. He said IT IS a/an herb. Very clear enough. To BECOME means it is not. IF you become a woman, it means you are not a woman. Very simple. You can't become what you are, can you?
All these clever by half unbelievers. You that knows science more than God. Of what benefit/relevance are you to your family, not to mention the world that Jesus is eternally relevant to?

orunmila144:
what are ya autistic ?

OK aam done. i see i am talking to a slow person here

You need to be educated. When you are educated, you will be able to talk in public without resorting to abusing others.

orunmila144:
obviously you have comprehension problems. WALKED PASS IN FRONT OF is what eyewitness said. and if you live in a country where the police men are crazy it would be in your best interest to obey all the laws. let me tell you a story about myself many years ago. I did the exact same thing this man did. police men approached me and made me do frog jump for 30 minutes by the side of the road. I am speaking to you from experience here. i was lucky they didnt beat me but i would have taken his beating over my 30 minutes frog jump because i couldnt walk for many hours after that 30 minutes frog jump in the hot sun

Talking about comprehension, obviously you are the one not comprehending. I didn't say I don't know how Nigerians and people with power behave like animals. The very simple point is two. Nobody talked about the speed of the guy's walk,nobody said he crossed the road. Only you. Secondly, the police were wrong and that's the truth. Whether they did worse to you is not the point. The point is that they are wrong.

orunmila144:
so when you are crossing the road you are supposed to run. unless it is an empty street with no cars passing. and seeing as we had an eye witness in a car and a police car I am assuming this was a busy street he was walking casually on

Wow and wow. You can assume for Africa. There is no law or crime or speed for crossing the road. No eyewitness said the man crossed the road. YOU said that. The eyewitness said he walked past the police vehicle. Is it right for police to beat an unarmed civilian continuously with bat and kicks, and a gun in hand? They beat his ass, head,legs and very soul. What is wrong is wrong. The police men were wrong and should be told and punished.

naptu2:
Watch the video again. He was right in front of George Weah in the welcome queue. Pause the video when you see Weah. At the 24 second mark.

He wasn't conspicuous enough sha.

orunmila144:
the they is the eyewitness. and i would advice you to walk very fastly if you are crossing the road in front of any cars to prevent from holding the traffic up. in fact i would advice you to run and not walk.

I read and read again, I can't find where the eyewitness said he walked slowly or jaywalked. I'll quote again, point it out. "According to the eye witness, the police officers were seen assaulting the man just because he walked pass the front of their vehicle instead of running,today,at wuse market, Abuja."
He walked past their parked vehicle. Their vehicle was parked. Notwithstanding, you skipped my questions. Instead you are giving advice. I guess you are part of the system.

orunmila144:
well they said he was walking very slowly. thereby wasting the policemens time. so they beat his ass

Who are the "they" that said so? How slowly or fast are we to walk at the sight of police vehicles? Is there a law broken by speed of walk? Is it right for police to beat an unarmed civilian continuously with bat and kicks, and a gun in hand? They beat his assistant, head,legs and very soul.

orunmila144:
how do you walk pass the front of someones vehicle if you are not crossing it ? abi ENGLISH is now hard to understand among nigerians ?

Crossing the road you said. Stay on your point. Is that the punishment, flogging with a bat all over, a gun in hand and kicks?

orunmila144:
everything you wrote is irrelevant. this story here is narrated by an eyewitness. the eyewitness said the man was walking slowly when he crossed in front of a police car, so they came down and flogged him. eyewitness report.

Oga, the eyewitness did not say that the man crossed. You are putting your words in his mouth. Eyewitness said " he walked pass the front of their vehicle".
That said, are you supporting police brutality or what? Is it not criminal to attack any human being with sticks and bats? Is that the lawful penalty for whatever crime or offence?

Like I have said many times, our police need training upon training. Unfortunately in Nigeria, ogas will amass training for themselves and their own. Collect estacode and other allowances that go with training and travel. The ones that really need it will never get it.

It is Lamidi Kanu's turn to go to Nigeria,hold meetings and conferences, and come out unscathed.
Buhari is leading by 1:0

Reckless drivers, careless driving and bad roads cause accidents most of the time.

The deception of this guys is divine, like bible days.

Starboytwo:
definitely my look, I'm tall, 6ft4+, got a dread, and i don't shy away from colours.... I'm a very easy target... No police won't look me twice....

But now, I'm more experienced with their tactics, I try to bypass their intimidation with a calm submissive tactics, and reason with them like a pro... They always understand every hints, subtle languages but Money is the real key...

Nowadays I go out with my ID only, and if they still insist I follow them, I simply obliged, the last one cost me just my time, I made sure I didn't pay 5 naira, I countered all their arguments, off course in a submissive and respectful manner... They figured I'm not willing to play ball and left me alone till evening and eventually was asked to go... But I guess time is money...

Na wa oh.

Ignorance is a disease. Are they saying that they were not expecting him to be guarded when they issued their impossible threats? The police are there, Buhari is there, go and hand Buhari over to police na. We are peaceful loving people yen yen yen. Peace loving people don't seek to disgrace dignitaries on foreign soil.

Adeshina is President of the African Development Bank. PDP should have presented him in 2015 instead of GEJ that was smiling sheepishly like a virgin when he met the POTUS. They could have presented him in the 2019 elections instead of the controversial Atiku. They can as well present him in 2023, but guess what. They can't. They don't want to. They are just sore losers.

IJEYdiamond:
I thank Adeshina for giving Us a face there... After watching and reading this summit i became ashamed See Rwanda President he is an Old Man but he so so open to ideas. He was in that meeting with other African leaders..

Bubu webt to Japan while the Pm is in France.. I dont know how people rep themselves seriously, Did he need to go there.... Can he not send representatives..

See Adeshina.. with these guys.. ... I weak for presidency and president.. i dont even have words to say...

Well they should remain backbenchers and they shouldn't upgrade... its their luck and problem..

TICAD is actually more important to us than G7 summit. TICAD is about African development, G7 is about topics like global trade, climate change, and taxing technology companies. Buhari has been invited twice to G7 already, same way GEJ was invited twice.

Starboytwo:
6th arrest this year... They just love me, infact I'm friends with them in 2 stations haha

Maybe something to do with your looks.

Rapmoney:
Guy, go and learn proper English! You are wasting your time defending an asshol.e with your 10mb.

You that knows proper English should be better informed than him. But no,you took in what Reno said hook, line and sinker.

I'll like to add that Yaradua was invited and went in 2008 and 2009. Jonathan was invited in 2010 and he was there too. In 2011, he was invited but didn't go for some bizarre reason about being afraid to miss his flight. That was the last invitation he got.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/36th_G8_summit

This is the one of 2017 where Osinbajo represented Nigeria.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/43rd_G7_summit

G7 summit is not an achievement. Reno is really taking Nigerians for fools and for granted. 7 countries with the EU attend his summit annually and they invite anyone. Nigeria has been invited at least twice during Buhari time. Buhari went the first time, and Osinbajo went the second time. Reno just treated Buhari haters like Americans treat us,asking if there are cars, electricity or internet in Africa. Simply using Google will save many from this illiterate behaviour.

Starboytwo:
pepper wetin, I spent close to 5 hours with our oga Dems....once you pay some money, they just released you like that, they don't care how you get home or wherever they picked you from.... Few times I've had to beg them for 2hundred from my bail money just to get home....

Oh my good God. You be regular customer.
