This has been a lingering question for ages

Why would Jesus pray if He was God?

Why would Jesus say no man is good except God?

To the first question, why would Jesus pray to God if He was God?

Firstly, here is it, if I have cash in my mobile app, what is the prescribed procedure to make withdrawal. You see, I need cash, physical money, but I have it spiritually somewhere. So before I can get it, I need to follow a laid down principle which people who need cash would have to follow which is, go to POS or ATM, insert ATM card and withdraw.

Humans prays. If humanity needs anything from divinity, the laid down principle is, humanity would have to pray. Prayer is the only way we make withdrawals.

Philippians 2:5-8 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Jesus came to the earth as an human, even though He was God, prescribed way for humanity to receive or connect to divinity is prayers. Jesus is God, even though He was God, if Him being divinity needs anything as humanity, He must follow the prescribed pattern already laid down

Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

It's really unfortunate how many Christians have turned their church leaders into gods that they now think it's a taboo to correct or call them to order even when it's beyond glaring they've derailed from the original purpose and lost focus.

Thank God though not everyone is blind to what the misplaced priorities of these church leaders, especially prosperity preachers, have turned church and many Christians into.

It has turned the church into a den of thieves and a place where sin and Satan is thriving.

So it feels really good to have Bishop Abioye also join us in calling the erring pastors and church leaders to order.

His forceful retirement from Oyedepo's church is proving more and more to be a blessing the more we get to hear his preaching.

For those who claim he has been preaching such messages while yet in winners, they should please kindly show us video evidence of it and we'd believe it, otherwise forever hold their peace.

God bless.

As Christians, we are meant to correct our spiritual leaders and a good example is the case of Moses and Aaron and his sister in Numbers 12 and the verse ends up with God stating, who arth though to speak against God's servant.

It is very unscriptural to speak against God's servant

Numbers 12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

Millions of Africans criticize prosperity preachers for living large at the expense of their poor members. But here is it. Kenneth Copeland which many criticize happens to be the largest sponsor of Reinherd Bonnke. We are talking about free Bibles, free books, fliers, sounds. Every crusade Reinherd Bonnke ever had all over Africa, we are talking at least 4 in each major towns in one countries and all over Africa. That is huge funds being pumped into evangelism. But Africans are too quick to judge

According to the op, those dogs haven't learned to behave. By the way, which settling will bring that boys parts back? We aren't talking about a piece of meat here. He will suffer psychologically for life. His parents should be mad with grief if they truly consider what happened to their son. If it is yours that the dogs cut, won't you pay someone to kill that/those dogs? Won't you sneak in with a gun one day? You can't have sex for the rest of your life, imagine.

I'll be unhappy if God forbid, it was my child and my husband even laughs and settles with them and tells them to bring no money. Over something that that has killed my child for life. I'll feel something serious is being taken for granted. In my heart, what I will want is for those dogs to be killed for such a grevious offense, and the owners should also pay lots of millions.

How can you cut my child thing off and just wave it aside? If a human did it won't that person be in the cell? I wonder why the guys here, who should be more aggrieved than me, are not even taking it seriously.

Exactly my point, cause I just realized something was wrong when he mentioned the dogs bite off someone's thing. Like how in the world would any parent keep quiet about that, even the dumbest person would take action, even if not them, someone around, I really wished I had the money, I will travel down to make sure Justice is being served. The reason I brought up the compensation or settling was because I noticed the ops was talking in past tense over a dog that I deem to be dead. Like weakness everywhere already

purples25:
I'm so surprised that the dogs are still alive. He should tell us what justice was done for the boy.

Sincerely, I no dey tolerate rubbish sha, normally, they could have settled the matter amicably as friends and the owners of the dogs will promise it won't repeat itself and they will have the dog chained, no be Naija we dey

Idye:
Honestly you're smart. I didn't want to make nairalanders feel I'm a weakling. The dog almost ate my little baby of almost two years. Na just God help us dat day. Do u know that whenever those dogs try to bite people, and they manage to escape, the owners will be laughing at them.

As for the 12yrs old boy whose penis was bitten off, na my neighbor

I'm just speechless right now, you need to see how chills are running down my spines. Like and those dogs are still alive, abeg use just 200 buy rat poison. Seriously, I would have gone online to Google search, easiest way to kill a dog, and I will try every damn thing. But that's story for another day, I am just wired in this aluta fighting way, I no dey gree, I'm the gentle and calm guy, but if I enter your matter, I will buy 60 leaves for it. It becomes my project. Yea, you can see I write alot, I go just research and research until I get my desire. Please bro, stay safe. I love you. Just be good, best wishes, may mercy locate you

Idye:
U too much. God bless you.

Idye:

Abeg send me 3k make I use buy water and food cook. Hunger dey

Lol, which state are you based

Oya, I will do it, send your details

Idye:
Thanks for your concern. I will do as you've said. My life is precious to me and my family.

Haaaa, you are family man, hope you were not the ones affected with the 2 year old and 12 year old boys saga, God abeg ooooo, say una no dey do like street meeting, you need to start taking steps about those dogs oooo. Like the neighborhood need to call those guys off their excesses with those dogs before hmmmmmm.

Idye:
I don't have funds to be buying water everyday. A 20litre of bore hole water from Mai ruwa is 100 naira. I will flush, wash, and cook. How many can I buy everyday?

As regards the flush side, just look for a nearby bush and the leaves are your friend lol

purples25:
Hope they were able to stitch the penis of the 12 year old boy back and get it functional. That's damage for life. After doing that, those dogs should have been killed for destroying the boys life or attempting murder. I'm confused, so the family of the boy didn't sue, they weren't settled, why would anyone let those dogs be alive after that? Is it until they kill someone?

Imagine almost killing a two year old. Dogs who are a threat to life and cannot be controlled by their owners should be killed. If I'm the mother of the 12 year old or the 2 year old, I won't stop until they kill that dog. I will press charges. People don dey craze sha.

Lol, you know what came to my mind, like the dog caused so much harm to someone and the owners of the dogs have not taken measures to stop the excesses of these dogs. Like what did the parents of this child even do. Cause, omo, I just don't know what the parents of those children did. I will even like if the guy can share about that

Idye:
I actually do not know where to post this. But I believe I can get the needed traffic and advice here.

Yesterday I read with Sadness, tears and pains about the gruesome murder of a security man by two dogs. Up till this moment, I haven't been myself due to the experiences I've had and the psychological impact of the death of that security guard.

Here is a Brief Experience.

The house I live has no borehole or any source of water. I and other immediate neighbors who occupy same building would go to our neighbors houses to fetch water everyday.
There are three neighbors who have boreholes, say Neighbor A, B and C.
Neighbor A only allows others to fetch water on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Aside these days you won't get water. You can't even go into her compound. She has a tap outside her building where we fetch whenever she puts it ON. On these two days, there must be Power(NEPA light). If there's no power, forget it.

Neighbor B is a pastor who has His church in his Residential Building. If u must enjoy fetching water here, u must be a member of his church, else you won't be given water when there's no light. Anyone can be allowed to fetch if and when there's light, but as soon as light goes off, don't go there except you are a member.

Neighbor C has two heavy dogs(Rottweilers). This is the house I fetch most cos of my cordial relationship with the owners of the house. When these dogs were brought home, they were just puppies and I was familiar with them, but as they grew older, they became extremely violent. One is Smart, the other is Bella. Bella is female while Smart is Male. Bella is so aggressive. She torments anyone who enters the compound. Neighbors don't go in. Despite the fact that they are caged, they sometimes break out and attack when they hear a stranger's voice in the compound. There was a day these dragons broke out of the cage and before I could realize it, that had come close to me. I had to make a very fast decision, If I had ran to escape through the Gates, they would catch up with me. Thank God, the Tap is very close to the fence of the building. A very tall fence like that of Prison's fence. I had to jump over, even as I was jumping, they almost caught up with my legs. I didn't land properly so I had a dislocation and sustained some bruises.
On a second encounter, they broke out and attacked. I had to climb the overhead water tank to hang in there.
The last one was when I went to fetch water while I was putting on a towel. They attacked again, and I jumped the fence. The towel pulled off my waist and I was naked. I had to quickly run into the room of a neighbor whose house is closer to the fence to cover myself. I felt so embarrassed.
These dogs had already bitten off the penis of a 12 year old boy.
Any cock or hen that innocently strolls into that compound is a goner. The dogs attack the fowl, kill it and eat it. They even jump at a flying Bird and caught to eat.

The dogs almost ate a baby of almost two years of not for the timely intervention of someone. I was told that some dog owners give their dogs ogogoro and weed to take so they can be harsh.
We all must be careful when visiting houses with Dogs. Please.
Thanks for reading.

Now, its not about the dog anymore, it is already established that the dogs are wild, invite police, let the police do the needful. Let the owners of the door either lock their dogs up or have it chained. At least, if the dogs are secured for security purpose, let them lose them at night. You said you were familiar with the dogs, evidently, like for crying out loud, the dog has caused so much harm already, almost killed a two year old and the owners won't have them properly caged or chained. Thats wickedness. What if these dogs go biserk and go over the fence, but that's by the side. And mr man, stop going to that compound to fetch water. You can go or try a farther distance to source for water. Even if it has to be that, you will have to wake up very early or stay up late, I believe you guys should have a well around. Where is your location please, and I believe you guys should have water in your compound. Water shouldn't be that scarce, find a well, wells still remains a reliable source of water these days, you don't need electricity, just a fetcher and a nice person that will understand. God's best

Many of us have had wounds in the past and just this morning it just occured to me that God created us not to fall sick and despite we fall sick, there is a system called the immune system which doctors rely on to do the job.

So far so good, God has put in us so much that it makes it practically impossible to not believe Him. Wound heals and its really amazing how the body auto repairs itself, fight germs, regulates temperature, adapt to climate, live and grow, do we talk about recreation, respiration, digestion, adaptability, even sustsinance, every organism has something to sustain it, we are talking about millions of water, land and birds, insects name them, plant, tree, God sat down and carefully planned it. Truly, no one have the excuse to claim there is no God

Brethren, the coming of the Lord can happen anytime. Are we prepared for His coming

Let's start living our lives for Jesus and not pleasing the desire of the fallen man

We need to understand this body we are satisfying is not our true self and I don't know if at resurrection it is this body that will appear or another, but what's the point pleasing a body and trying to satisfy the flesh when man is greater than the body. Man was created in the image and likeness of God, and God is a Spirit making man equally a spirit. Our body is our container, don't allow the container ruin the product. The product is the real us, not the body and we can know the real us in Christ

Don't live to please the flesh

The number of our lives are like a vapour, we see it then it's gone. Live for Jesus

Haphard:
Yeah.....

Wooooow, were you able to receive the gift at the end of the day sir

Abiagirl777:
I have tried but it seems I'm not holy/ripe enough for it cos I no dey fall and i don't want to memorise it lyk some penteco churches.I understand its a necessary experience for a xtain in order to communicate more with God but I won't force it.
God knws my heart ,when he's ready he'll baptise me.

I'm sorry my response is coming late and hopefully, I could have replied you in the past. I will check. Find a pentecostal church and ask the Pastors wife that you desire to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. It's as easy as that sis. Sometimes prayers has to be made before one can receive the baptism

Acts 8:14-17
Acts 19:1-7

It just occurred to me that even in Acts 10, it was because those guys were under the direct ministration of a man of God that operate in the power of the Holy Ghost and can proper administer it, that's why they received. God will not give you something and you end up being more confused at the end of the day. He's not the author of confusion. He will give it to you under the right teaching and right environment, so that you can nurture the gift properly. I attend a church that does not speak in tongues and people rarely speak in tongues there and people don't receive the gift there, be that's how the church is structured. God can't step in because they don't know so much. So God will only relate with them at the level of their knowledge. My people are destroyed because of lack of knowledge. He that increaseth knowledge, increaseth strength. Increase in knowledge, change associations and watch your spiritual life grow

Buttomline, a mad man is Gods mouth piece, is that what you are saying

Kobicove:
Na wetin concern Peter Obi for this matter?

As if Peter Obi na the governor lol

yarimo:
It shall never be well with Peter obi

Peter Obi is no more the governor of Anambra State

Biodun556:
Aboki to the rescue.

And you want to compete with lagos

Tell that to Charles Soludo and not to Peter Obi

When we call Jesus God, we are not referring to the physical form of Jesus,but the spiritual part of Jesus

God is a Spirit (John 4:24), that's what the Bible says and that's why Jesus would say, He that has seen me has seen the father.

He wasn't referring to His physical self, but the spirit inside Him

When Gabriel told Mary about the birth of Jesus, she asked, how shall this be, them Gabriel said, the power of the most High, meaning the spirit of God shall descend upon thee and that thing that shall be born. Luke 1:35

The woman gave birth to a flesh, but the real thing came from Heaven which was the Spirit of God.

And the Spirit of God is not like something you can restrict, it can be here and it can be there, Jesus said I proceeded out of the Father, Jesus said the Holy Spirit proceeds out of God. 1X1X1=1, because it is the same one thing

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
He sent me here refer to His assignment as human

1 Corinthians 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Nice one sir

Could you enlighten us on buying and selling

Assuming I have a million naira and I want to buy goods from abroad, how do I go about it

Let's take for instance, I want to buy electrical appliances, TV, fan, generators etc

How do I buy and make massive profit

I mean how can I become an importer and is it lucrative becoming an importer sir cause when I hear things like customs and those stuffs, delving into importations looks so risky and bleak

Ask Omoyele Sowore, he likes freedom fighters and would be attracted to such a beautiful lady back in those days
