LarrySun: As usual, the room was warm and cosy. The inhabitants enjoyed peaceful slumbers most of the times, except on some occasions when they would welcome a familiar intruder. The supposed room was spacious enough to accommodate only the two growing lodgers for a specific number of months. These two dwellers had spent just over half of the specified time and so they had just four months left to vacate this apartment. Even they themselves knew that they could not live in this room forever. There would be a time when nature would put an end to the food they usually received without being asked. They were gradually gaining weights on the food and warmth the room provided, whilst outside the door, others struggled with nature to survive. These two didn't know that, of course. Even if they did, what would they do about it? What could they do? The rule that worked outside was of singularity; every man for himself. But soon, after a few months, these campers would roll up their tents and move on. They would be forced to vacate the room for some other occupants. And with what they had been witnessing lately, the next occupant might assume the occupancy not long after the current ones' vacation.
Then just as they were having their usual siestas, when the world outside was now abuzz with sibilant whispers, the two children, like two pupas encased in a chrysalis, heard a faint ruffle at the entrance of the door. Somehow knowing that the door itself was already covered with dark moss at the entrance, the boys were not much suprised at the ruffles. They were silent and they intently watched the door to know who the intruder was.
The entrance slowly gave way as the door parted, admitting the visitor into the room. The intruder at first slowly came in and opted for the exit almost immediately, as if he had only come to give a brief glance at the occupiers of the anteroom. Then he returned inside, faster this time, and tried to leave at the same rate. This was not strange to the inhabitants of the inner room, for all their visitors paid their visits in this manner.
The first child saw the visitor and became glad. He greeted joyfully, "Daddy! Daddy!! You're welcome." He could not go and meet the visitor because he was doomed to remain in the room. Leaving the anteroom would be dangerous. Dangerous to him, his brother, the room, and equally the owner of the room. It was not yet the time to leave.
"Daddy! Daddy!! I'm here!"
The second child was irritated at his brothers excited bickers. "Stop your unnecessary display of affection. That's not Daddy."
The first child cast a perplexed look at his brother and asked, "How do you mean? Are you telling me that I don't know my own father?" He cast another look at the approaching-and-reneging guest.
"That is not Papa," insisted the second child, "Are you blind? Are you suffering from medulla oblongata deficiency syndrome? Can't you see the physical appearance of this guest? He doesn't resemble our father in any way."
SamsonJohn743: Some call it cunning,ruthless...to some,it's amoral while to millions,it's a lifesaver.... That's how controversial Robert Greene's classic: The 48 Laws Of Power actually turns out to become. But in my own opinion A masterstroke.#copied.

alBHAGDADI: In a new interview with Sahara TV, Daddy Freeze can be seen speaking on how people need to do away with hoping on blessings. He claims blessings are never enough and that people need to get to work. To some point I agree with him, but a closer look at his biblical explanation, one would notice that he's simply telling people to not place their hope in God. He simply wants people to go out there and achieve whatever they want without God's blessings. How did he do that?
If you fast forward the above youtube video of the interview to about 4.22 minutes, you will hear Freeze speaking on how Nigeria is so blessed that we do not experience earthquakes and other natural disaster. He spoke of how we are still living in poverty amidst our several blessings. He proceeded to likening our situation to that of Jacob in the Bible whom he said
Along the line, Jacob lost his blessing which was Joseph. That was when Joseph was sold into slavery by his elder brothers who hated him for the glory he possessed. That blessing called Joseph never failed to prosper and even blessed those around him. He was sold to be a slave in Potiphar's house. If you read Genesis 39:1-6, you will see that Potiphar saw the blessing in Joseph cos his household prospered due to his presence. Joseph then rose to become the overseer of the house of Potiphar.
Due to Potiphar's wife's evil of trying to seduce Joseph, he was thrown in jail where the blessing the Lord put in him never left him. He was still a blessing to the other inmates. His ability to interpret dreams favored one of the prisoners who rose back to his former position with Pharaoh.
When Pharaoh had the dreams about what was to happen in the next 14 years, that wasn't God revealing His plans to him cos He felt he was better than Jacob. That was God showing Pharaoh how useless he is and how Pharaoh cannot do without the blessing of God. If you read the story very well, you will see that Pharaoh didn't understand the dream neither could his magicians and wise men interpret them.
Genesis 41:8 In the morning his mind was troubled, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.
God is not the type to reveal something to a person who won't know what to do with it. This clearly shows that He revealed the dream to Pharaoh to humble him and show him that he is useless with all his powers, wise men and magicians. At the end, Pharaoh had to rely on God. How did he do that?
Joseph was pulled out of the dungeon and presented to Pharaoh after which he was asked to interpret the dreams. Joseph did to the amazement of Pharaoh that he made him commander of all of Egypt, such that the only thing Pharaoh had greater than Joseph was just the throne; Joseph handled every affair of Egypt. Pharaoh in that moment acknowledged that God was indeed with Joseph.
Genesis 41:38 So Pharaoh asked them, "Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?"
Can you now see how Pharaoh ended up relying on God's blessing embodied in Joseph? Joseph's advise provided a solution that solved a problem that would have lasted for 7 years, which would have seen the depletion of Egypt. It was that blessing that Jacob is father lost when Joseph was sold away from him.
That blessing was a blessing to Jacob. It became a blessing to Potiphar. It became a blessing to a prisoner. It became a blessing to Pharaoh who had so many resources yet he didn't know what to with them. The moment that blessing entered Pharaoh's palace, he was able to save Egypt and the entire world.
If you do not have the blessing of God, whatever you do will only amount to your destruction. Yes, you can become great with riches all by yourself and without God's blessings. But know that a time will come when you will realize that His blessing is not only what can get a man to success but also what can help a man retain success. Pharaoh was a pagan that was highly successful. But when he dreamed of his impending destruction, he had to rely on God's blessing to help him avert it. Without that blessing, he would have been destroye

[/b] I seriously laugh when I go to his Instagram page, where he goes around 'preaching' his main sermon being on how tithing is wrong but hasn't thought it wise to teach his followers what is wrong, bring the same thing Jesus accused the Pharisees of doing; avoiding important parts and facing the irrelevant, how when any 'man of God' comes out to correct a false doctrine he goes out on a judging spree, and as far as I am concerned he hasn't actually made any point on his page.
I have so much to say but I am too lazy too type
I got into an argument on his page once when I told one of His followers that freeze needs an extensive lesson on love and he was trying to defend freeze by saying freeze has d right to judge but when I was done schooling him he was simply dumbfounded. Hehehe

CHAPTER ONE
October 4th, 2011. Cambridge, Ohio. Michael sat alone at the bar with a double whiskey, though he wasn’t drinking so much as staring into it trying to establish what it was that had brought him on this journey from Columbus. Yesterday’s newspaper article had read that four teenagers over the space of seven days had thrown themselves from their dorm windows at State Park University. Although the authorities were treating it as some sort of suicide pact, Michael suspected otherwise. People don’t just throw themselves from buildings for the sake of it and, knowing what he knew now, he wasn’t about to ignore it. Michael Warden is an investigator. Not your usual, ordinary type of investigator−like the ones who track down criminals or follow people suspected of having affairs and such−but an investigator of the paranormal kind. Some might say a Demon Hunter; a Ghost Buster. If only it was as simple as that. He read the page that he’d printed out from the Daily Tribune’s website again to make sure he hadn’t missed anything. Then he folded it up and placed it back into his worn, black, double breasted coat pocket. He knocked back his whiskey and made his way out of the bar. It was early evening in Baltimore, MD, and a slight mist had started to settle in. Michael still had a little over three hours’ drive ahead of him to get to where his reservation was: a small place called The Sunshine Motel a couple of miles outside of Garrett Co.

Mujtahida: Na wa ooo. ... 'Morning Star, son of the dawn' has become 'son of the morning star' as it passed through the editorial refinements of your mind. Okay ooo.
Mujtahida: Who is the morning star, Jesus or Satan?
I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."Revelation 22: 16
Isaiah 14:12 How you have fallen from heaven, ~morning~ star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
The verse says son of the morning. Big difference.
greenhulk: For us that don't read those comics nko? The last time I read those must have been like 20 yrs ago. I understand these arguments are just for fun purpose, but in reality they are fictional characters and who kills who depends on who the writer or movie producer wants.
yh but surely they are specifics on each individual's ability and this is what we are arguing on
Goandie: is it d same wolverine that hulk tore into 2. dis person must be joking dat wolverine beat hulk DAT is d funniest thing I don't read dis month
