Cabble4: "" I will be what I choose to Be"". For Me, whatever He wants us to call Him is dependent on Him. If He chooses to be a monster, trust Me, He will play a monstrosity role in the lives of people. If He wants us to call Him Abba Father,He will Play that role & wouldn't push it down our throats. He will give us reasons beyond reasonable doubt why we should call Him that. Whatever He wants people to refer to Him, He will prove that to them through what He is ready to do. He is a person of integrity & not an arrogant coward. Respect is earned and not demanded. Any good father knows that. If you Play the role of a Father to a person, he or she doesn't need a prophet or you to tell him/her to call Him father. In a nutshell, "" I Will Be What I Want To Be"" wouldn't happen through force but through the role He will Play in people's lives. If He wants to be called King SHALOM, then everlasting Perfect Peace you will See. *In conclusion, no single person can tell anyone what they should call Him. You relate to Him according to how He reveals Himself to you. My submission. Thanks.
You did not get it. I have stated enough scriptures to show what God is to every believers "Father".
The Holy Spirit even testifies of that but it is not a crime to call God any suitable nam e based on our experiences of God in our lives.
I concluded that those experiences was as a result of being Our Father.
SanctifiedSista: I did not read Jack, just spaked up a song in my spirit We cry abba father, halloweth be thy name, Halloweth be ur name, halloweth be ur name
Sweet song .sing it 10 times and jump into the Spirit realm blasting hot tongues...
Jehovah this, Jehovah that, Olorun this Olorun that, Chineke this, Chineke that...etc was men attempt to name God based on personal experience but scripturally God called Himself in Exodus 3:14 in the Hebrew phrase אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, ’ehyeh ’ăšer ’ehyeh, “I am that I am” a common English translation of this Hebrew phrase or "I am who I am," "I will become what I choose to become, "I am what I am," "I will be what I will be," "I create what(ever) I create," or "I am the Existing One." The traditional English translation within Judaism favors "I will be what I will be" because there is no present tense of the verb "to be" in the Hebrew language.
However, it is worthy of note that Jesus Christ only called God "Father" throughout the gospel except in Matthew 27:46 “About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, [c] lema sabachthani?” (Which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”.
However, we know this expression was connotative being a moment that redefined the fate of Mankind but after this redemption task was completed in John 20:17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” This is to reinstate who and what God is known and should be known or called.
Finally, Galatian 4: 6-7 And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God. The Holy Spirit in us has given the final verdict on how we should address God based on our sonship, therefore we call Him “Abba, Father” a term more intimate like "Daddy".
My aim is not to discourage you of whatever name or names you call God, whether Oniduromi or Advocate, the purpose is to let you know that He became your Oniduro because He is your Father and that is what “Abba, Father” does.
TMKsouth: Government-funded students at the Tshwane University of Technology (Pretoria, South Africa) recently got the surprise of their lives when the laptops they were excitedly waiting for from the student fund program (NSFAS) turned out to be quite the joke. Heading online, one student who was given the option between receiving R5,000 (N150,000) for study material or a laptop, shared the snaps of the baby blue laptop that admittedly closely resembles the ones made for kids games.
TUT students and Twitter users alike could not deal with the toaster-looking laptops and wasted no time heading to the app to share various posts about the outdated laptop.

realoscar84: It was on a beautiful sunny day Saturday being 27th March 2021 that this dark seemingly hard but humbly and humane man got married to his much younger beautiful damsel in the city of Okene, Kogi State. A state presently govern by the White Lion His Excellency Alh. Yahaya Adoza Bello who I'm equally honoured to be from the same clan. You know most ebira people in particular and by extension kogites are proud of that young man. Much ado about my governor though.
Regarding the wedding, we had our wedding fatiha according to Islamic injunction as the first event of the day duely conducted by Sheikh Dauda Salihu. Thereafter we had the traditional aspect according to the tradition and culture of ours, ebira opete. We proceeded to having our reception. All took place at the same venue; my inaw's compound.
Alhamdulillah it ended successfully and I'm officially a married man.
My nairaland family, you all should wish me well cuz i need prayers to guide me in this journey. Be kind n civil to me in ur comments o cuz I know my wife fine pass me but I'm not looking bad though �
Lalasticlala, pls help ur man push this to the promised land. Thanks
I think the yorubas in any part of the north should as a matter of urgency start relocating back to the south. These guys are brutal and it will only take the mercy of God to avoid their retaliation.
Gang90: So guys it valentine's day, I'm really disgusted, okay I stay in my brothers house, I travelled, I came back around 2:30 I wanted to enter my room but my brother told me wait a while, with my adult mind, I realised they having some couple time, I dropped my bag in the living room and head out.
But I came back to find out the room is scattered and the bedsheet there, a responsible woman should at least wash the bed sheet noting that a grown up Male stays there.
I will be 26 this year, I had not really had sex so all these things imagining a strange woman's bodily fluids in my bedsheet is disgusting. I can take it from the side of my brother but not the wife, she disgusts me honestly, she is not my girlfriend, not my sister, not my wife, not my mother why should she expect I wash her after sex sheets for her or why can't she just pick the sheet immediately and wash it, it could have dried by now. And it really feel awful for me if I try to wash it, honestly.
This is about to be the worst valentine's day for me, I'm planning to head out and rent a room in hotel but who knows most hotel rooms will be disgusting today, what do I do please advice.
I'm hating knowing already, cause if I didn't know it could all not be so dirty to me, now my bed looks so dirty to me and I can't attempt to wash it until at least 24 hours and I will wash it soaked in hot water, I hate nonses just cause my brothers accepts you does not mean everyone in the family sees you as one flesh.
Go and buy another bed sheet, put the one they used somewhere it will be noticeable but be sure they actually did what you said on "your" bed.
Because they are fulani they refused to call them terrorists. what's the meaning of bandits? The Ipob did not even do uptown these guys, even the Elzaky groups. Call a spade a spade, these guys are terrorists because they are terrorizing citizens.
I have been having some doubts about my children which I stated in my earlier post but I couldn't summon the courage to do it.
My wife kept giving me reasons to suspect her so I had to man up and take the test secretly. I took the test and samples were submitted few days ago but the doctor said it will take 7 to 10 working days for the results to come back.
Ever since I took the test, I haven't been myself. Am so restless and anxiety is killing me while I keep praying the results comes out favourable as I know it could mark the end of my marriage if there is a bastard among the children.
Men in the house: Can you share your experiences conducting DNA on your children and what was the out come. My hear beat is so loud right no. This is the moment of truth. So help me God.
Update: While I was at the DNA clinic waiting for my samples to be taken. I saw a couple who came for a different type of DNA test. The lady is two months pregnant while the guy wants to know if the pregnancy is his before assuming responsibility of the baby.
He was charged a million naira for the test and was told to come back for results in two weeks time. I wish I knew this was possible as it would save me from what am currently passing through. Aside the cost implication, I will advise every man to take their pregnant partner for test before assuming responsibility for any pregnancy. I just learnt something new!
Note: I will update this thread once the result comes in the next few days. I hope I'll be a happy man afterwards.
Prepare your mind for the worst and tell yourself say no be the end of the world, na who loose hope lost.

Sometimes I wonder where some Christian's got some stuffs like tapping someone's grace when you have Jesus the owner of grace. The grace of Jesus is enough for you.
Decencyava11: Days after the death of two Nigerian actors, new reports reveal that Nollywood actor, director and producer, Prince Chukwuemeka Ani is sick and has been admitted in a hospital in Owerri. Pls share this video so that more people can see it and assist Him..
You will be shocked to know the peanuts these guys were being paid to feature in all those movies, sometimes you cant blame producers because they don't make much either.

There is no one that will be there that will not play politics. It's a political appointment by law. Until they change the law in such a way that the appointments is no longer political then allegiance will shift.
