dabigwalls: I absolutely agree with the lessons and I must say that it is always a blessing to read God's word and understand it. I will like to however ask, why is Christianity these days always bandied as an investment. For instance in this message, there is a quick introduction of the inherent blessings that follow obedience of God's word as shared. But I will like to ask why we must always expect when we give. Can't we just give selflessly like Mary did with her Alabaster, like the Widow gave to Elisha the Prophet or like our Lord Jesus Christ gave of His life for no personal gains?

I don't believe that because I tithe I will not suffer or because I tithe, I will have Heaven on earth. My purpose and goal, is to (as hard as it is) serve God in spirit and in truth. Other things may or may not come, I don't care.

Enigma: @ God2man

If no one else will tell you the following, I will.

Instead of quoting people's posts all over various threads without adding anything, why don't you simply make a post like this example:

This your practice is very very very selfish and even unChristian!

A homeless man has told how he began sleeping with the dead when he moved into a cemetery 15 years ago.

Bratislav Stojanovic, 43, has shared the burial plot with the ashes of a a family who died out more than 100 years ago in Nis, Serbia.

But after giving the grave a changing tombs-style makeover the former construction worker said he feels at home.

He said: 'It is dry and it is warm. I have some lamps and my personal possessions.

'It isn't a palace but it is more comfortable than the street.'
Mr Stojanovic, who has never had a regular job, lost his home in the town after running up debts.

He moved into the grave after dossing down in the streets for months and now spends his time foraging in the out of use cemetery for candles.

Mr Stojanovic said that living with the dead isn't as scary as some might think. He said: 'I was afraid in the beginning, but I got used to it in time. Now I am more afraid of the living than of the dead

'Whenever I want to crawl out I first check if there's someone around, otherwise I could scare a person to death.

'People are very kind to me, they sometimes bring me food or clothes.

'Sometimes I have to get my food from rubbish bins but it can be very nutritious. It's amazing what people throw away," he explained.

'It doesn't frighten me to sleep in a grave. The dead are dead. I'm more frightened of being hungry.

'And if I die in the night, at least I'm in the right place.'

Mr Stojanovic lives on a diet of food he collects from the rubbish and collects cigarette butts he finds on the ground.

His tomb spans only two-square yards and the ceiling is one yard high.

Officials at the cemetery say their squatter can stay as long as he does not disturb other visitors.

'The family who owned the tomb are long gone so technically it belongs to no-one. If he behaves himself there are no plans to evict him,' said a spokesman.

The name of the family who owned the tomb is unknown as the names have eroded from the gravestone.

Pastor AIO: Yep! I know a verse from Ogbe meji that uses those exact phrases, but I never thought of it as an adjective. I thought Oyigiyigi was the name of the stone. Especially when it says 'We have become Oyigiyigi, we will live forever.' I didn't imagine it was being referred to as an adjective.

Either way it is better translated then as a description of God rather than a Name of God. Oyigiyigi is also something that Human beings can become.

I've heard it explain as something that will not yield or cannot be turned or twisted (hence -yi- in yoruba) while the -gi- sound expresses it's hardness or resilience. Like Igi in wood.

Then again it is a combination of yielding and unyielding (yi and gi). A marriage of opposite characteristics.

ashson: A homeless man who hit the jackpot in his change cup—a diamond ring—showed he had a heart of gold by returning it.

The woman who accidentally dumped her engagement ring along with all the spare change in her wallet into the cup noticed the mistake long after she had given the pricey item to the Kansas City man, Billy Ray Harris.

Sarah Darling, who hadn't meant to be quite that generous to the man on the street, explained to Kansas City, Mo.'s KCTV that "my rings were bothering me, so I put them in my coin purse."

Darling said she didn't realize what she'd done until the next day.

"I was so incredibly upset because, more than just the value of the ring, it had sentimental value," she said.

Needless to say, Darling returned to the scene the next day.

Harris told the station, "The ring was so big that I knew if it was real, it was expensive."

He recalled, "She squatted down like you did like right there and says, ‘Do you remember me?' And I was like, ‘I don't know. I see a lot of faces.' She says, ‘I might have gave you something very valuable.' I said, ‘Was it a ring?' And she says, ‘Yeah.' And I said, ‘Well, I have it.'"

Harris added that he wasn’t the type to cash in on someone’s misfortune. "My grandfather was a reverend. He raised me from the time I was 6 months old and thank the good Lord, it's a blessing, but I do still have some character," he said.

Darling gratefully told the TV station, "It seemed like a miracle. I thought for sure there was no way I would get it back.”

Harris did not go empty-handed: He again received money from Darling—this time all the bills she had in her wallet.

ifyalways: There is NO such thing as a perfect marriage but there are horrible marriages,on and off line,IMO.
When you are in a horrible marriage/relationship,you'll find it hard to believe that one can actually enjoy a good marriage. There is no perfect marriage cos there is no perfect individual.
A good marriage is one that acknowledges there are imperfections and is able to work out through bad times.
Perfection is relative so at the end of the day, my marriage is perfect for me and does not have to be perfect in the eyes of others.

Neddivine: Welcome dear sister in Christ.But I hate to pretent that its all good here so I must warn u to beware.There are satanist,so called atheists,muslims,false brethen and even true but misguided brethen posting unwholesome arguements against the xtian faith here.Do not allow them to distract u or quench the light of God in u.Extreme haters of God in this forum often violently mock,abuse and even curse God whom we adore.Remember to join in ceaseless fervent prayers to save the lost souls,to revive righteousness &restore the glory of God in this forum and in our great nation.Thanks

kelch: Imagine this, the tournament started 19th of Jan,d last goal was scored by jersey number 19 on a sunday by a sunday & we won it after 19yrs.
This is the story of a young boy whose parents were murdered during 2002 riots in Kaduna. He was aged 11 years at the time. His parents, Mr Austine and Mrs Josephine Moses, were missionaries until they met their untimely death. The boy left his house to play football but returned home to see that all his parents had laboured for had been razed down and he would never see his mother and father again.
He was taken to London by his uncle almost immediately after the incident. While in London, he began deploying his football skills. Though his parents were murdered, his passion for football was never killed. He played football for his school and later for a local Tandrige League club until Crystal Palace FC approached him. From that point, his career progressed in leaps and bounds.
This player played for England's under 16, 17, 19 and 21 teams between 2005 and 2010 scoring 11 goals for England during this period. He later moved to Wigan Athletic and now he plays for Chelsea. This footballer is called VICTOR MOSES.
His story is a touching one, I share his pains. I also share his courage. He had a choice not to step into Nigeria again but he didn't take that option. When the call to serve his fatherland came, Moses dumped England and embraced Nigeria... That is patriotism!
Today, we see a Victor Moses bringing joy to every Nigerian including those who may have inspired his parent's death... That is Love!
On Sunday, Moses would stand for the National Anthem and pledge allegiance to a country that couldn't defend his parents... That is faith!
Moses would deliver the "African Cup of Nations" trophy to Nigeria not minding what had happened in the past... That is forgiveness! Moses rose through bitterness and despair to the limelight of hope and courage.
He never gave up on his country. He persevered... That is purpose!
If someone like Victor Moses, despite the bitter past, never gave up on Nigeria, then why should we?

advocate666: We are waiting for all you lot fake christians and muslims. We will do roast barbecue with you. Our long forks are ready.

Acidosis: I used to be a regular poster on this section until the day I observed a very embarrasing thing...
Why would he (Seun) mix up the Christians, Pagans, atheists, Idol worshippers on a section excluding the muslims..? Is Islam not a RELIGION?
oh...mukina is a muslim anyway, and you? its obvious...you do not believe in God!

Gosh! I hate this section!

Why is it that atheists talk so much about religion? It strikes me that they are always going on and on about religion, sometimes more than the Christians.
If y'all truly believed that God does not exist, why do y'all spend so much effort, strenghts and time trying to defeat the idea of Him?
Why are y'all bitter about the beliefs of others who care less about your opinions on tithes, jets, pastors et cetera..? Why do y'all show bitterness towards Churches and Pastors..?

Seriously, why are you all obsessed with God? Every sentence is like 'God doesn't exist'. Who cares really? If you don't believe in God then that is your problematic problem and opinionated opinion but why bother going on about it so much?
What are your problems

It's interesting isn't it? You atheists gravitate toward this section, which is about RELIGION, when y'all claim to have none! What a gross confusion! What a discombobulated disorientation!

And to the mods, have you guys placed sentimental embargo on bans? I mean, why can't you ban bigots? derailers? off-posters? atheists posting on Christian-related thread?

Finally, Christians, please stop arguing the word of God...especially with unbelievers... Stop typing argumentative epistles just because you wanna convince some persons with hearts of stone.. Preach the gospel, don't argue the gospel.

...always remember, all unbelievers are enemies of God & God is not a respecter of anyone!

#shalom!
