When humans are not well fed, what happens?
An angry man is a what _______?

I am surprise people who don't really understand animals are already afraid for her.
Animals seem to be more faithful than humans these days, don't be surprise this Lion will not allow any nonsense come near her.

alBHAGDADI:
There's so much panic out there concerning the COVID-19 vaccines which some quarters are afraid of, not only because vaccines could affect their health but because some are linking it with the Mark of the Beast spoken of in the Bible.

This article is positioned to teach people how not to be afraid of the times we are in despite the multiple controversial stories out there. It is also to teach people what they can do to prevent themselves from receiving the mark of the beast in whatever form it comes in.

Kindly exercise patience in reading this article because it is lengthy but filled with good information and Good News.

Let me start by explaining what satan wants to do in the end times which I believe we already are in, but because we are eating, drinking and getting married like the people of Noah's time, we do not know that the Ark is ready and the flood is coming.

Matthew 24:37-39 KJV
37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

What satan wants to do is to imitate God and be like God just as he bragged, saying, "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High." (Isaiah 14:14 KJV). He has since been trying to perfect his plans which we are seeing unfolding bit by bit.

God has angels and humans who worship and serve him. Satan envies that and wants the same for himself. He has succeeded in deceiving some angels who have now become his demons who do his bidding. He now wants humans just as God has humans.

Who are the humans who belong to God? They are those who believe Jesus Christ is their Lord and Saviour that died for their sins. Their belief in Jesus has made them sons of God.

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

They immediately become born again when they believe in Jesus. To be born again is to be born by the spirit of God. Our parents have given birth to us. God now gives birth to us which, in other words, is Him adopting us into his family through the spirit.

Romans 8:9
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Romans 8:16 KJV
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

The above verses and many more in the Bible proves that God has children here on earth and we Christians that believe in Jesus are his children. Stan wants his own children too and that is the essence of the mark of the beast which he will issue at the end time.

When most people think of the mark of the beast otherwise known as 666, they think of a chip. This looks likely to be true. But whatever it is, it is something that will separate you from God forever, make you a reprobate. It is something that I believe will alter your DNA and make you hate God and lose your sense or the fear of God. This thing will have to get into you to effect that.

Now, there are three kinds of people in the world today. We have Christians, sons of Belial (satan) and normal humans. Christians are those who have the spirit of God in them due to the believe in Jesus Christ. The sons of Belial are those who worship satan in various forms (Deuteronomy 13:13). These ones have evil spirits dwelling inside them. Normal humans are those who I will describe as empty shells who have not the Holy Spirit nor evil spirits inside of them but are still under the influence of sin and satan.

It is those empty shell satan is after. He wants them for himself. God also wants them that's why He sent His son Jesus to die for their sins that they may be saved. That's why Christians are tasked to preach to them and save them.

In the end time, satan will make the 666 mandatory in the world. Without the mark, you won't be able to fly to other countries, enter certain places, go to work or school, buy and sell etc. You will just be a dead man walking.

That mark will be received by many of the humans who are empty shells. They will receive it because they allowed themselves to be fooled by influential people like celebrities. We all know how the protests of October last year gained momentum after celebrities supported it. Once celebrities start posting pictures showing them taking the mark (which won't be advertised as 666), many celebrity worshippers will rush to take it thinking it's cool. That's when Christians will start to warn against it to the anger of satan who will wage war against them and behead many of them.

Now, as a Christian, can you take the mark of the beast? The answer is capital NO. You can't take the 666 because you have already been sealed with the mark of God. You have the Holy Spirit inside of you and you are a child of God. Remember Jesus said of his sheep that "they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:28). That Holy Spirit has sealed us unto the day when God through Jesus will come and redeem us.

Ephesians 4:30 KJV
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Even when destruction comes upon the earth, it can't affect Christians because they have the seal of God on their forehead.

Revelation 9:4, KJV
And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.

Satan who has been trying to imitate God will create his own seal which he will give to men. Only those who have that seal or mark will be able to buy or sell.

Revelation 13:16-17
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

But can Christians receive the mark of the beast? No. Mind you, there are people who call themselves Christians but are not. These are those who were born into a Christian home but never had faith in Jesus, or churchgoers who didn't believe in Jesus. Many don't know that believe in Jesus has to be done in the appropriate way otherwise it is not believe in Jesus but believe in self.

1 John 5:10-12 KJV
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

The above passage says those who believed Jesus have the witness (the Holy Spirit) inside of them. But up to a billion people claim to believe in Jesus. However, the same passage revealed how to know those who truly believe in Jesus and those who don't. It says does who don't believe God has given Christians eternal life through Jesus do not have the Holy Spirit. These are those who say YOU CAN LOSE YOUR SALVATION. They have called God a liar as stated in the passage. They say God lied when he said he gave us eternal life. Eternal life never ends and can never be lost. If it could be lost, then God lied when he called it eternal which is never ending. I'm glad I don't believe God lies, which is why I CAN NEVER LOSE MY SALVATION. And this is why the above passage says such people like me have the Holy Spirit and belong to Jesus.

Romans 8:9 KJV
9 ...Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

With the above established, it is clear that Christians can never take the mark of the beast no matter what. They will be beheaded, punished and made to go through tribulations as stated by Jesus for their faith. Jesus also said it that it won't be possible for any false christ including the antichrist to deceive the elect.

Matthew 24:24
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

Jesus also promised that his sheep will never follow any other voice but will flee from such.

John 10:4-5 KJV
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

These and many more have shown that Christians will never receive the mark of the beast. They will become bold to preach the gospel during the Great Tribulation and get many humans saved. This will anger satan to kill them. That is the great tribulation Jesus spoke about.

So, clearly, the only way to guarantee that you will never receive the mark of the beast is to believe Jesus gives eternal life and that with him you can never lose your salvation. Anything asides that will not work. If you think you can enter God's Kingdom by hiding from the antichrist and his 666 when you are not a child of God, it won't work. Satan will tempt and frustrate humans to the point that many will fall for him But God's elects won't. Why not become God's elect today by accepting Jesus as the one to save you?

Now, a school of thought believes Christians would be raptured before the antichrist. That's a big lie not found in the Bible but only in the movie Left Behind and in the lips of false prophets. Read the thread below to see that Christians will be very much around when the antichrist and his 666 will be around.

The antichrist is against Christ and Christians who are his representative on earth. If Christians are raptured before he arrives, what will he be against? Can you see how rapture before the antichrist makes no sense? Read the thread below.

Many religious adherents, especially christains light White candle after the new year cross over service,some drop it at the front of their compound or door mouth or their veranda.
What is it's significance.

I saw this in Delta state, and I was just curious to understand it

I had no choice bro. Allah can spoil the engine of my expensive car or my generator if I buy PMS from a Kafir company that supports the insult of our Holy Prophet.

Did you bother to check what the manufacturer of your engine has ever said about the Holy prophet?
Let's not be too religious abeg

pocohantas:
It is not lame, I created a thread on it HERE. Many people are actually put off by it. But I think for you to say you boycotted a business, you should have had previous dealings with the business.

I don't know if that thing annoys you more than it annoys me.
If you go to Spar, Shoprite, Justrite, Blenco etc and you are told to DM for items, will those nonsense social media vendors buy there again in their life?

Patrioticman007:
Its more honorable to marry more than one wife than keep many side chicks with STD's.
Christians find it difficult to practice their religion due to hypocrisy.

So those with 4 wives don't have side chick?
Are you aware the started from being side chick before marriage, then the 3rd and 4th...
Above all, how many people are financially capable of having 4 wives, the clause is you should be capable..... Not just jumping on another wife.
Look at our northern people who are so religious, just imagine the disaster they have brought upon the nation?
Just drive around Lagos and see beggars everywhere, children who were brought to the world because of their religious parents who lack financial capability to take care of more than one woman.

yanabasee:
In Islam, as far as the man is capable to satisfy them sexually and financially, then this is t a problem....



The islamic men are asked by Allah to marry a widow, an aged woman, a younger girl and an average lady.... Four wives if he's sexually and financially capable...

How many of them are financially capable?
Let's stop deceiving ourselves, how many of oyr northern people are financially capable?
They put the 4 wives on their head, and close their eyes on the clause Allah put there.

You should have helped out.
When helping, do not expect anything in return, just be good.
Just imagine how you would have changed their lives for better, if you had helped out.

Legionx:
The average Nigerian lacks the common sense to understand the way the economy works

if you like learn all the skills in the world as long as the Nigerian economy is not promoting new businesses or startups no skill can save your business from crumbling.

Without favorable government policies there is no skill you can learn to move forward.

what we should be asking is what can we do to improve the standard of education in Nigeria so that the courses that people study can have an impact

the poor man teaches his children to study in universities so that they can get a certificate and then get a job and live a comfortable life

We don't go to school just to study and get the certificate.

we go there so that we can learn a course and then use what we have learnt to improve the economy that is why school was created

so if you guys keep running around learning skills how will the economy improve when the people that are supposed to get the intelligent ideas to change things are shying away from scoring high points in school.

if you think enterpreneurship will save Nigeria then you have learnt nothing from 2014 with all their enterpreneurship programs when recession came you saw how many people committed suicide. you all have come together and start bringing the solutions ourselves.

we can't expect the government to do anything impressive when we made the wrong decision by voting the wrong people.

You can never expect a goat to act like a lion, lead like a lion and protect like lion because it a goat is a goat.

so when you bought the wrong leaders you can never expect them to improve the economy and lead like great leaders when you keep collecting bribes to vote the wrong people.. you can never expect them to act in the right way.

right now we have to come together and start looking for ways to improve the economy and improve the educational system because no skill you learn today will not be affected by the economy.

whatever skill you learn the dollar to naira rate will increase, the price of your goods make buying things unfavorable and many more things that you don't want experience.

You couldn't have said it better.

Please tell me I am not the only person that converted $18,000 to naira before reading on?

Considering the hype about Lekki as hotcake destination for real estate investment,
the presence of an oil refinery creates jobs and brings rapid development to surrounding communities. However, Lagos is still having traffic issues with Apapa sea port and it's beyond the control of Presidency.

Will Apapa trucks disappear with the arrival of Lagos to Ibadan railway?
Will Dangote oil tankers make Lekki unattractive?
Will FG compel Dangote to use only shipping routes (Lekki to Apapa, Warri and Calabar)?

But Dangote Group Executive Director Devakumar Edwin told an OTL (Oil Trading and Logistics) Expo in Lagos that fuels would go via “shuttle” boats to Nigerian cities Warri and Calabar, and that other deliveries would go in trucks.

https://in.reuters.com/article/us-nigeria-oil-dangote-idINKBN1X824I

Lekki is under Eti-osa LGA.
While Dangote refinery is around Eleko, under Ibeju-Lekki LGA.
They are two different LGA, I think people should understand that, before anything. Ibeju-Lekki is not lekki o...

I really don't understand why someone has to go to their home town before they have their traditional wedding, I really don't get it.
If your parents live in the city, are you saying they all have to go to their home town for a wedding?
You people have made culture more difficult than it is. You want her to go down to her home town, then buy foreign drinks there, simple things are made difficult by you guys, I just don't get it.
To me, wherever the parents reside, is where a child's wedding should be done (simple).
Not because they are from Kutuwenji then the parents have to leave the city to celebrate a wedding at kutuwenji.

I] Then, they defend/console themselves with "English is not our mother tongue" and "Na who pass sabi book!"

I lost my cool with that nonsense excuse.
If it isn't, why didn't they learn with their mother tongue from nursery school to at least S.S.3

It is so bad, and we end up crying when USA and Canada tells us to write TOEFL or IELTS

Ayo Animashaun is not ready for advice.
The award takes into consideration songs released over one year, instead of 1 year (January - December).
This makes it a non-consistent award and will always be full of controversies. There were times it was not held, and all of a sudden you will see nomination list of songs long forgotten competing with new release, that man (Ayo) needs advice.
The award has lost relevance due to inconsistent date, month and year. You can't be having award July, January, December, March, June... Stars who have other engagements outside Nigeria won't grace it, and it won't be their fault.
Look at the last one held, where all A-list artists were in London for Wizkids show, and Davido in hospital with Chioma, the show was just full of shit with Big brother Naija nonsense.

Deathissweet:
I understand that brokenness doesn’t have respect for anybody, meanwhile that is why you need to plan well before getting married or giving birth.

I shouldn’t be posting this but since I am not including anybody’s name, I don’t think I am doing something wrong.

I relocated to a new state few months ago so I have decided to make friends with matured foks because most guys of my age (30yrs ) here are yahoo boys. I am not judging anyone but at least I shouldn’t be painted bad in a new town.

There’s this guy I gave a ride in my estate last 2 month. He’s married with 3 kids. Ever since I gave him a ride. He has been disturbing me with calls to ask for money to the extend that any time I give him a ride and he sees money in my car. He will take it then ask for permission, every time we see. He always complain bitterly as if I don’t have my own problems too.

A lot of cases like that. The one he did last really pained me cox I gave him all my last card. He called me early in the morning that he wanted to see me. I was in the bathroom when he knocked. He brought in 2 of his kids early Monday momo, he started with his complains as usual and said there’s nothing for them to eat this morning that I should give him anything. I gave him all the cash I had and foods stuffs then he left.

A lot of cases like that from different people but that is not the point ...the point is inside this same hardship and all. This guy gave birth to his 3rd born. Even me that has a business, cars and my own house. I haven’t even reason giving birth yet.

Please I want to know what exactly motivate this people to start bringing up innocent children to come and suffer. I think this is what the government should regulate (giving birth ) not social media.

If you bring this kind of logical reasoning, same people you want to help will come at you with religious stand, claiming God will provide even when they know God is not merlin.
People just feel pressured by their parents to jump into trouble, all for the grand-children claim, then begging to feed becomes a norm.
We need to regulate our birth, being religious will take us to a suffering land, God is hard working o.... Not this nonsense we do in Nigeria with religion.

HonAdeli:
I had a very similar experience about 7months back. Was trying to avoid a vulcanizer who was pumping a vehicle's tire while his body was on the road.
On the other hand I was checking something on my phone cos I already calculated that I'd swerve for the vulcanizer but unfortunately my side mirror slightly scratched a man's Venza, then boom the man came down with his driver telling me he's a lawyer and he was just coming back from ibadan and all that he was going to call the Dpo of the station to arrest me and take me for brain test. What pissed me off most is I kept on pleading with this man that brake oil will clean it off then he asked me set of foolish questions 'How old are you, who owns the car you're driving and nonsense questions.
The man was so proud to the extent that he told me he bought the car in 2013 for 7million he brought out some papers from his safe too and that he was planning on selling it as tokunbo, all in all after begging for about 30minutes he left me.

My sister told me about how people don't even do as if they have been bashed in one Asian country. She was surprise all through her stay there.
We have this way of bringing the next man down once we have 0.9% of what God has for us

ProfAmaben:
Only a few men can compose themselves in the face of danger. Tough times are when you know the real men.

I was once approached by armed robbers whilst on a trip, that night was something else. The robbers shot for over 2 hours like their bullets couldn't get exhausted.

He came to my car and asked me to jazz down, I came down and asked him what he wanted with a smile. He wanted to slap me and I held his hand tightly (fear left me), I asked him again, oga what do you want?!? He beckoned to the others to take my car, immediately one of the boys wanted to move with the car, the leader said, make we free this man, e go track us later, e no even shake as e see us.

Always appear unfazed in the face of danger.

Nice one op.

It must be a dream or a scene in nollywood...

@ Bolded
Pride Price and Wedding Ceremony have swallowed the 1milli

I have a friend in your kinda situation
He is also a nairalander
He has postpone his wedding simply because his in-law are demanding above 300k for Traditional wedding
Now guess how much he will spend on the White Wedding

If only our Parent can cut their greed of milking their Potential son in-law
Also the wives should cut their coat accordingly

That is why ladies marry who is ready not who they love

Must there be a white wedding?
Why can't people do the normal wedding here (which is called traditional) where you pay the bride price? Putting on suit and all that is the traditional way it is done for the western world.
Do registry with less than 30k, just 2 people should be there, pay bride price and move ahead.

This sylva is a fool at fifty,when cabals want to oppress the Country they will throw your foolish brother at you,why are we not refining since we have the oil , technical know how and the market,why do big men need to build Refinery at Niger and still hobnob the Government to import the product abd still receive money for the maintenance of the moribund refineries.
The Refineries should be sold to either foreign bidder or state where it is located

The moment you mention selling of the refineries, Nigerians who can't see ahead will come for you.
In fact, if you mention it in your agenda during election campaign, they won't vote for you.

If you are wise enough, you will see Paul does not hate Peter, Peter too has no issue with Paul.
Look deeper and you will sense it is either Peter did something against their mother's wish, and that's where Jude comes with his dissatisfaction of Peter.
I won't say more than that. If you are wise enough in family issues, then you will know where this points to exactly.
They don't dispute the fact that they are twins, they won't fight each other, but one of them seem to have gone against something.

Epstein:
Lies....propaganda!

Same refinery they claimed will be ready by 2019 (due to election propaganda).
Has anyone been there? That place won't be ready even by next election.
Sellers are busy using the refinery to sell lands at ibeju and Alaro city, using the refinery as a selling point to gullible people.

Better go and open a church.
This is what majority are fed in Nigeria, and they believe it is the word of God. We have lost logical thinking to religious ways.

Akube1z:
Six important things every Christian should never do or Engaged in.

1) Don't Engage in Blasphemy or Laying Curses on the government and the country.

2) Don't avenge or bear any grudge against the people of the government and the citizens of the country

3) Don't Judge the government , Instead pray for the Forgiveness of God over this country.

4) In this trying time, You must not seize to love God and keep His Commandments

5) Don't engage in violence, destructions and non peaceful protests.

6) You must not engage in cruel act , but engage in kindness act and show love to people.

Na all these points dey bring about underdevelopment.
No developed country, I repeat, no developed country will follow these rubbish point. We pray too much and forget God won't do what man ought to do himself.

Xchristain:
For those asking why soilders are deployed to protest grounds,well here's your answer.

The police just can't handle these violent protesters who use this opportunity to perpetuate criminal acts.

If soilders appear and start target practicing, we'll call it a massacre abi?

You better not allow people come for you.
Have you been to the protest ground at lekki before? So you want to justify military coming to meet unarmed civilians with riffle, firing at them for reciting the national anthem.
Don't even let me change this cool tempo, you have never been to the offline protest and you are here talking in the rubbish.

Attack all religious cleric who are quiet, not just church Oga.

Hello Nairalander,
I really need advice concerning making a choice between the two jobs before me. My family members are divided over which job I should choose.

I'm working in a highbrow secondary school and my start up salary was N75,000. After three years, my salary is now N96,000.00. I just got a lecturing job with a private university and my gross salary according to the appointment letter is N88,000.00. My father wants me to continue with my teaching in the secondary school but my mother and fiancee are pressuring me to write acceptance letter to the university and accept the offer. There's no time, both the university and the secondary school will be resuming on 12/10/2020 and I have to make a choice between now and Thursday. My fiancee is already calling herself "wife of a lecturer" and threatening that she will quit the relationship if I did not accept the university offer. My mind is in the secondary school because there is free lunch and N150,000.00 housing allowance per year, but the university doesn't give lunch and housing allowance.

Should I go and become Mr. Lecturer and sacrifice my secondary school benefits?

With what you have added so far, I would pray you remain with the secondary school.
Those typing about meeting influential people in that private university have no idea of what they are dreaming.
I see it ending in tears if you make the switch to that private university as a lecturer right now, it's not even Federal university sef.
