5-1 is the score.

God2man2again:
Having played a goalless draw with Croatia, I saw a well balance team because Croatia is a very strong team.

Any team that will defeat Morocco in this tournament will have to go extra mile.

I posted this last week or so.

God2man2again:
I am not sure of the outcome of this game but this is what is called game plan by Morroco.
Morroco came with a game plan.
This is modern football.

When you have a game plan before the game you are already a step ahead of the other team and chances are that you may win the game.

Felicitations Moroccan!

Allez Moroccan!

Congratulations Africa!

What a sad report!

So many bad things have happened before and after independence.

Which way Nigeria?

Let's look at the positive side of what happened, team work is one of the greatest values of an influential leader, what I saw in Chatham may be frowned at by Nigerians but I like the way, the presidential aspirant, Tinubu of APC is teaming up with his fellow leaders to answer questions.
It depicted that if there is any problem, he would seek for the opinion of others which is good.

I guess the match was won by England before it started.
It was a game plan by the coach, the Senegalese were deceived to attack the English team, they survived the attack, afterwards, the English realized that the defense is not all that strong so they struggled to collect the ball from the middle field and run with speed to the Senegalese box with just three or four defenders and many thanks to the accurate passes from Saka Busayo, that passes killed them totally.

Hary Kane took the second chance, Saka took the third chance.

Game over!

if Saka were to be in Nigeria, will they allow him to play?

Saka has football sense.
You can check all his passes.
Football is not by big size or strength or tallness, it is by sense.

God2man2again:
It is over for Senegal.

Two goals down

Game over!

3 goals down.

Bye Bye to Senegal.

It is all over.

It is over for Senegal.

Two goals down

Game over!

Bravo Cameroon!

Unfortunately, they failed to qualify for the round of 16.
Brazilians had about 28 shots at goals with the greatest percentage of ball possession yet failed to score.
I guess the attackers were not patient enough to slow down in front of goals, perhaps, they could have won it.
Brazilians were too fast to strike the ball in, if they were able to break the ball in the box, they could have equalized.
The Cameroonian were so lucky with a great pass to the captain Abubakar who headed the ball into the corner.
Why did they leave a man like Abubakar on the bench in the first game against Switzerland ?

As it is now, Brazil will face south Koreans in the round of 16 while Cameroon crashed out.

Football is unpredictable. This is why gambling is not good.

In this modern football, Japanese team managed to beat Germany and Spain in the same group and top the group.

Unbelievable!

Japanese team had speed, quick thinking, quick decision, good precision and accuracy in every department of the game if not, Spain ought to have equalized before the match ended.

Having played a goalless draw with Croatia, I saw a well balance team because Croatia is a very strong team.

Any team that will defeat Morocco in this tournament will have to go extra mile.

Bravo Moroccan!

Felicitations Moroccan!

Allez Moroccan!

Congratulations to all Africans.

Two spots in the round of 16, probably one or two spot in the quarterfinals.

Germans are beatable, Spanish team is hot.

Kindly Google non oil exports in Nigeria, you will discover Agricultural is one of them, even the private individuals are doing this business a lot.

I wonder why State Governors can't use their allocated resources to start this non oil exports so that the prices of goods can be reduced in the market.

Many thanks to God and also the technical crew of Senegalese bench, they concentrated on the game,100%>

The coach and everyone on the bench knew what we called modern day football, after the Ecuadorian equalized, they were lucky to get the second goal. They changed tactics by moving into the side of the Ecuador team, they substituted two players to gain more energy to attack the Ecuador team.

They also substituted in the last minute of the injury time.

They defended like crazy, they kicked the ball away, they caged Valencia, the hit man. They improved in the air.

The Senegalese really surprised me.

They are good to go all the way, except there is a mistake or bad officiating.

Congratulations Senegal!

Congratulations Africa.

The first African team to reach the round of 16.

We are waiting for Morroco Ghana and Tunisia as for Cameroon, they need a miracle because the current Brazilian team is hot.

Tunisia also needs a miracle.

All things being equal, Senegal will face England in the round of 16.

Can we say Bye bye to Cameroon?

Brazil is coming ........

If you're truly Born Again, you live in the House hold of God and you are always guarded and guided by His Spirit of Direction and Knowledge.

Kindly explain sir.

This group is widely open.

Any team can qualify for the next round even Saudi Arabia.
Poland needs a draw.
Argentina needs a draw or a win.
Saudi Arabia needs a draw or a win with more goals.
Mexico needs to defeat Saudi Arabia by all means if not, they are out. Even with the win, the Mexican team needs to score more goals against Saudi Arabia to ensure qualification for the round of 16.

The contenders are really contending.

That was the statement from the wife of Job after God tested him with great tribulation.

Job 4:9 " Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity?
CURSE GOD, AND DIE"

For the wife of a righteous man to utter such a statement, it means that the suffering was severe, deadly and unbearable.

Now, the question is, can this present generation of christian experience this kind of affliction?

it may not be as severe as this but there is a Biblical prophecy already by our Lord Jesus Christ, the Author and finisher of our faith:

John 16:33" These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world"

Depending on the leg you are standing on, there are two legs here, one, in me, that is in Christ, we shall have peace.
Two, which is the other leg is the world, we shall have tribulation, in the world, we shall have tribulation, it means that the world hates reproof, the world hates evil, christians are on the opposing sides, so the world will not like our style and preaching, they will hate us, that may bring the tribulation.

God also hates it when a Christian is in friendship with the world, God may use his rod of affliction ito correct us and redirect us so that we can become a better christian.

Now, here, wisdom is profitable to direct, in the time of our affliction, God chastised us to shape us into destiny position so that the character of Christ can be formed in us.

God needs your attention, God needs your cooperation, God needs you to take correction, God needs you to listen to his warnings because if you don't listen or cooperate with him, you begin to take offense, you begin to complain, you begin to get angry against God, you begin to say the wrong things like the wife of Job.
" Curse God and die"
" What has God done for me"
" Shame on you God"
" This is my last time of going to church"
" Why me God"
" What have I done to deserve this"
" Why are bad things happening to me despite all my dedication and prayers in the Church"
" Why are my prayers not answered"
" Why the delay"
" Is it only me"
" Why are unbelievers prospering more than me"
Why can't prayers solve my problem"
" Why is my tithe not working"
" Why am I in debt"
" What is making things difficult"
" Why are my enemies so strong"

If you continue to complain and murmur like this, it may be difficult for God to do anything for you. Infact, God may decide to take the person away.

Instead, you glory in tribulation.

Romans 5:3 " And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;"

James 1:3-4 " Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect entire, wanting nothing"

A story was told by the man of God, the sister prayed before the marriage and God said marry this stinking and unpresentable brother, she complained and prayed, God told him that the beginning of the marriage will be rough, tough, things will be very hard for the family but after the period of suffering, the family will be stinkingly rich.
She got the message and married the brother.
Ha! Things were so bad. It was terrible, ugly to the extent that to eat became a problem but thanks be to God his grace and for the secret revealed to her, she stayed.
Now, the story has changed, the family has become rich.

What if, the sister did not receive any revelation, then the sister may run away or divorce her husband.
The sister can even say, why are we serving God? She may decide to try beggarly powers, herbalist, witches, sorcery, native doctor to solve the problem but thanks be to God for the secret God revealed to her.
It is the grace of God

There is no problem that has no solution.

We just have to cooperate with God so that he can mould us to the right shape in Christ Jesus.

May God help us.

Righteousness2:
Condolences to His Family and friend

Life is so unpredictable!
Anymoment! Anyday! Anywhere, you can be gone.
Live this life in the Conciousness of your Eternity.
Live this life with Eternity in view.
Ensure you have a Genuie relationship with JESUS CHRIST.
This what really matters

It is all that matters. Everything is vague. Everything is mysterious.

The Japanese were lucky to win.

Saudi Arabia were lucky to win.

Let's wait for the second group game.

Did you boil the unripe plantain without peeling it?

You boiled the unripe plantain without peeling it?

The first goal from the Netherlands was a well targeted attempt to confuse Mandy and he fell for it. He could have stayed in the goal post perhaps, it could have been counted as offside.

Netherlands were very strong at the back with the Liverpool guy, Virgil van Dijk and then the goal keeper was top-notch.

The Senegalese were very good but they will need more technical input from the bench especially from the coaches.
They should be able to defeat Ecuador and Qatar if they take their wasted chances.

I disagree, there should be a blueprint solution to Nigeria problem that every body can see.

We should not hide it.

You don't need to sack anyone, just give instructions. That's all.

Job 4:18-19 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?

You live in the house hold of God?

God2man2again:
Nowadays, there seems to be confusion about the possibility of living holy without sin because of some scriptural verses, the body of sin we carry and the wickedness of this world.

Some scriptural verses are to be read to understand the standpoint:

1 John 1:8 " If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us"

Again (repeated)

1 John 1:10 " If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us"

The next chapter seems to be more confusing.

1 John 2:1" My little children, these things I write unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"

You now see another two verses in
I John 3:8-9" He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God"

It is an error to believe that a born again Christian cannot sin and that God forgives his sin readily without any confession.
It is also a false doctrine to believe that God does not see the sin of a christian but God only sees the blood of Christ after commiting sin.

Another misleading teaching is that God forgives his sins past, present and future.

The issue of sin should not be handled by preachers with carelessness or levity, that is, teaching a serious matter of sin, which Jesus Christ suffered, humiliated and beaten to death and shed his innocent blood as a living sacrifice for us to have access to the throne of God Almighty with a careless attitude.

We are living in a wicked world of sin, left, front, back, right, center and 360 degree. Sins abound around us.

With man, it is impossible to live without sin as stated in Psalm 51:5" Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me."

How then can we be delivered from sin?

See

John 1:12" But as many as received him, to them gave power to become the sons of God, even to then that believe on his name"

Power has been given to us to become the Children of God, we received the new nature of Christ when we received Christ as our Lord and personal saviour.

This is just the beginning, there must be a CONTINUOUS relationship with the seed, the word of God, that is, obeying the word of God, observing it living the word of God CONTINUOUSLY, then we can be sure that we cannot sin because seed of God is inside us.
If, however, we fall into sin, the Bible says 1 John 1:9" if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and to cleans us from all unrighteousness"
It also said, 1 John 2:1-2 that we have advocate with the Father Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for sins:"

The problem with sin is, after you have done what you think is commanded by the scripture, how do you know whether you have sinned against God or not? How do you know which sin to confess?

What you think is your best may just be 50% before God.

You might have done something unconsciously with good intentions which before God is above the limit, presumptuously done without thinking twice. It could be a sin before God.

It is possible to be rightly wrong. So to say, it is possible to be innocently wrong.

You are doing something you feel is okay but you have slapped God on the face unknowingly. You have committed a sin before God.


So, there is need for us to do daily checking, daily examination, continuous relationship with the God the father, God the son and God the Holy spirit in order to be Holy without any blemish or trace of sin.

Our prayers of checking or examining ourselves should be prayed like this:

Lord, is there anything wrong? Help me.
Give me the grace to follow you to the end.
Have mercy on me.
Open my eyes, let me see myself and if I am wrong, correct me.

It is only God that can detect the smallest sin, minute, tiny sin in our hearts.

You say, you are holy but God said you are arrogant then you have fallen short of the glory of God.

All have sinned. All, I mean, All have fallen short of the glory of God.

If Jesus did not die on the cross and resurrected on the third day, we are doomed.

Thanks be to God for his mercy.

We are not entitled to anything before God but we have access to the throne of God only by GRACE and MERCY through the blood of Christ..

We must continuously ask for grace, mercy and forgiveness through the BLOOD of Jesus.

The more we move closer to God, the more we see ourselves clearly in the right picture of God.

That's why prayer is essential in our relationship with God.

Someone has said, prayer will keep you from sinning and sin will keep you from praying.

It depends on the prayers.

The answer to the above question is that a christian can live without sin if and only if , he abides with the seed, the word of God and continuously be in friendship with God in his Christian walk. Just like Enoch.

Enoch walked with God: Genesis 5:24 and he was not; for God took him.

May God take us away on the rapture day. Amen.

An addendum to the topic or an afterwords.

An addendum or an afterwords to the topic.

Whenever a christian backslides, it means the christian is living in sin, or the christian is living an unholy life.
That means that it is possible to be holy today and because you failed to observe constant abiding in God's presence to receive strength and grace to overcome the temptations for the day, you fall into sin the next day.

That's why constant sanctification in his presence must be obtained before you go out to receive sustenance and grace for the day.

Redeeming the time because the days are evil.

Therefore, any christian that has not received the grace to fast and pray will be in danger as long as he lives.

We have been commanded
" Pray without ceasing"

Men ought always to pray and not to faint.

A prayerless christian is a powerless christian.

The more you pray, the more you discover.
The more you pray, the more you recover.
The more you pray, the more you overcome sin and live a holy life.

The more you pray, the more breakthrough you get.

The more you pray, the more revelation you get from God.

The more you pray, the more you grow spiritually.

The more you pray, the more you will be able to fulfill your destiny.

Lastly, it depends on the kind of prayers you are praying. So it is necessary to pray targeted prayers to obtain the required results because you can pray useless prayers from the cradle to the grave.
Always let your prayers be directed by the holy ghost, that is why it is necessary to seek for the Baptism of the Holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.
Speaking in tongues will enable you to pray with the mind of the holy spirit and not carnal praying.

Genesis 28:11 And he lighted upon a CERTAIN place, and tarries there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the STONES of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

Genesis 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

Genesis 28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I KNEW IT NOT.

Genesis 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

Genesis 28:18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the STONE that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

Genesis 28: 22 And this STONE, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.



That is how the STONE used for pillow to sleep became a pillar, an Altar, Bethel, the house of God.

Beloved, what you don't know is greater than you.
What you don't understand can sometimes be the solution to your problem.
What you don't know may give you the clue on what to do about your life.
What you don't know is your boss.
What you don't know can save or kill you.

Listen to me, the life of a man is embedded in ignorance, what we see with this physical eyes may just be 10%percent of what we are supposed to see.
There are so many invisible entities moving in the air, over and around us that we cannot see except God open our spiritual eyes.
For example, the air, the wind bloweth, you don't know where it is coming from and where it is going.
So many entities inside the air that you cannot see.

One must be a fool to consider that what you see with your physical eyes is what all life is all about.

Life is full of mysteries.

It is shrouded in mysteries.

It is therefore your responsibility to seek God's face so that God will show you what you don't know so that you can excel in life.

See,

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things which thou KNOWEST NOT.

Jacob thought that the STONE and the CERTAIN place, he used for pillow and to sleep was just ordinary STONE and just a place to sleep not knowing that it was an abode of God. The House of God. The Altar of God where angels of God were ascending and descending.
The STONE and the CERTAIN place look so unattractive, so ordinary, uninviting, unpleasant but it is the place where God's ladder to heaven was placed for the angels of the living God to be ascending and descending.

We need to pause and think over this issue.

That small church, where there is no organ, no building, no modern roofing but just the roofing of old dirty aluminum.
That small church where there is no good chairs but old benches full of bes bugs.
That small church where the only person that has a car is using very old smokey Volkswagen.
All the members are looking very poor and unkempt.

That church you are calling old fashioned may just be where God is expecting you to receive your deliverance.

God hides big things in small creature.

First, let's go to the natural before moving to the spiritual.

Try to Google, Electric Eel fish.
They have three electric organs that contain cells called electrolytes.
When the electric Eel senses prey or feels threatened by a predator, electrolytes create an electrical current that can release up to 600 volts.
If you are unlucky enough to be shocked by 600 volts, it won't kill you on its own, but it will hurt.
If you touch an Electric Eel fish, a single jolt could incapacitate a person long enough to cause him or her to drown, even in shallow water.
Multiple shocks could cause a person to stop breathing or go into heart failure.

Secondly, in the book of 2 kings 5 narrated the story of Naaman the leper and the captain of the host of the king of Syria that was told by Elisha to go and wash in river Jordan but was angry because the river Jordan was not attractive.
It was an ordinary servants that cautioned him to listen to Elisha and he was healed in river Jordan.

God used foolish things to confound the wise.
When Jesus came, he went for the fishermen, Peter, James Andrew.

God used many things we don't know so that we will not be boasting.

If you cannot see God at least you can see the works of God around you, the heavens, the moon, the sun, the stars, and even the electric Eel I just mentioned above.
These are God's creations.

For the fact that you don't see it or you don't know about it doesn't make it irrelevant. It doesn't make it non-existent.
What you don't know is greater than you and can help you or kill you.
