Look at ekweremadu in Igbo native attire seeking to elicit sympathy and support from Igbos who have not benefited anything from him in his 8 years in NASS.

Baba carry your cross o

Most, if not all, of us have a favourite song. Whether it's pop, rock, blues, jazz or classical, we can all agree that music contains a very strong element that moves our hearts, inspires us to be jolly or attempt new things, and at times makes us feel happy even when we're down.

For Christians, however, there's a common concern that arises every time music is played on the radio or in the bus station: can I listen to secular music and still be Christian? Honestly, Christians should consider when choosing where to be and which music they listen to.

1) Everything is permissible, but not beneficial

Paul said that all things are permitted, but not everything is good (1 Corinthians 6:12, 10:23). That's the same with secular music. Being a Christian doesn't mean thrashing the radio or asking the fast food crew to stop playing songs played by secular artists, but it does mean you should not listen to songs filled with ungodly lyrics.

While there are secular songs that sound good and bring good messages, there are many secular songs that encourage adultery, sexual lust, materialism, greed, hatred and bitterness, among other things. We should be careful what songs we listen to.

2) We must starve the flesh, feed the Spirit

Genuine Christ-followers know this: anything that would exalt the flesh and kill the spirit should be shut down in our lives. Whatever we feed grows healthy, and whatever we starve dies. Following this logic, we should instead choose to build up our spirit with praise instead of our flesh with soulish music.

James said, "is anyone cheerful? Let him sing Psalms." (see James 5:13) The Bible tells us that whenever any man or woman of God is happy, we should firstly sing praises unto the Lord.

Take for example David, who sang many songs of praise to the Lord (see book of Psalms). Or Mary, who sang to the Lord because He has looked down on the lowly (Luke 1:46-55). Or Moses, who sang to the Lord while his sister Miriam pulled the tambourine out and sang while dancing because of His deliverance (Exodus 15).

Think about it. Would you like to sing "Dorobucci" in front of Christ during your prayer time?

3) We shouldn't be yoked with unbelievers

"What has Christ in common with belial?" said Paul (see 2 Corinthians 6:14-16). Christians shouldn't behave like the world, and the area of music isn't exempted from this.

Some say that they only listen to secular music so that they can reach out to their friends, but honestly, you can still reach out without doing that. Christ did not behave like the world, yet He fulfilled His work of atoning for our sins and reconciling us to the Father.

STILL DRINKING AND CLUBBING AS A CHRISTIAN?

By socialising in clubs you do not bring people up to your level in Christ, they bring you down to their level in the world. A person cannot respect someone who is not fully committed to that which they profess to believe in.

I used to justify myself, by saying that I did not get drunk, and so I only drunk solf drinks. But the reality was I paid for alcoholic beverages which aided my friends (who did not attend church meetings) in getting drunk when it was my turn to pay for the round.

I would be sat at the bar, while across the room, other people were telling dirty jokes, getting drunk, taking the name of the Lord in vain and the next day I would hypocritically be in church, hands in the air, sing praises to Jesus. I called myself a Christian yet did not live up to the standards that God had set. My testimony was compromised on a daily, if not weekly basis, *I was leading weaker brethren into sin and I was supporting the Devil’s ministry. How you may ask?...

Firstly, by going to such establishments.
Secondly, at church talking about where I had been the night before, (thus encouraging those of age to visit a pub or club).
Thirdly, by inviting other Christians out for a drink.

As one preacher said, “Either act like a Christian or change your name to heathen!”

God states and declares, “Be holy in all your conduct...because it is written, 'be holy because I am holy'” (1 Peter 1:15-16) because, ‘without holiness, no man shall see the Lord’ (Hebrews 12:14), “Anything that is not righteous is sinful” which is in accord with 1 John 5:17, 'All unrighteousness is sin...

Not a set of rules

Friends, this isn't about a set of rules. Rather, it's about fixing what's in your heart – would you rather fill your heart with God's praises, or fill it with the world's chorus?

HAPPY SUNDAY TO YOU ALL

practical impossible! you can't serve two masters at a go!

TANTUMERGO007:
who knows mantu ?

Then you should either be in secondary school or just migrated to Nigeria.

Tommfrench:
myopic understanding of the Word...




The greatest message is preaching, Christ Jesus Crucified!!!




then allow the Holy Spirit, to do the conviction.

Brother! it's by telling them of what is good and what is bad as a christain that the Holy Spirit start work of conviction from there. The point is that the truth has gradually disappeared from the preachers mouth, that's why this sounds strange to u. but if you want to make heaven at last then heed to his preaching its biblical.

well said! God is using Wike to punish Amechi for sponsoring president Bubu. see how they have thrown Nigeria into a total mess.

I thank God for the gift of Goodluck Jonathan, a transformation agent.

LesbianBoy:
Buhari is just a failure! I expected him to have sent for this boy and change his life. I am sure if it was GEJ THE HERO OF OUR DEMOCRACY, he would have upgraded this boy's life sharply

Have u forgotten that Bubu is not lettered.

Buhari caused this.

Lawz20:
Good day my fellow Nairalanders, I have a very serious problem which I so much believe that with your kind and generous advice, I might take the right step. I met this girl around April 2012 at my work place and since then we have been together after I proposed to her last year. The fact is I love her so much and I thought she also loves me.

I went down with her to her village around April 2014 to see her parents formally and they were so happy, her mum, dad, grand parents and even her siblings welcomed me wholeheartedly and I was so happy. I stayed with them for two weeks just to see if I can picture out any bad behavior but seriously, non was found.

The problem am having with her is that she has too much male friends and most of them are always sending her love messages both on 2go and Facebook. I once stumble on her Facebook inbox and I found a chat between her and another guy and he was just thanking her for coming to spend good time with him, bla bla bla and how he enjoyed her. I was so mad because during this period she went to the village alone and promised to return in a week but she didn't until after 3 weeks, this is what she always do, she travels like 4-5 times in a year and never return on time. When she returned, I confronted her and she said she is not the one that did that chat with the guy, I tried asking her who did but she never gave me a good answer.

Later that week, she gave me her phone to help her charge it in a barbing saloon, then a strange number called and I picked, the person hissed and cut the call, he later sent a message saying, "you're picking my wife's call and asking me who it is" I replied him that he should check the number that he might be wrong, he then mentioned her name. I went back home to ask my fiancee who own that number then she said its that guy I saw his chat and I should not worry, she will fix it.

Recently again, she has travelled and up till this moment, she is not back, she promised she won't stay upto 2 weeks but yesterday makes it 5 weeks. That same yesterday, my mum's pastor asked my mum to call me that he has a message for me which I later went, he greeted me and say, while he was praying for me because of my mums request, that he was shown that the lady I am planning of marrying is not mine alone, that if I go ahead to marry her, she will wreck me and leave me, he said she travelled now and I said yes, he said she was seeing someone else in the village, he said if I doubt him, I should go ahead.

It was then my mum now said, my younger sister told her of a dream she had, that I caught my fiancee with another guy and it leads to a fight which the said guy killed me. I myself have had such dreams too. The pastor gave me 3 days fasting and prayer. I am confused, despite all her cunning ways I still love her but what should I do and how do I go about leaving her. I will be 30 by 5th April, am not getting any younger. Please advice.

so you want me to tell you she is not your wife? No I wouldn't do that. you better use ur tongue and count your teeth. even said he will no longer struggle with man over making a choice. so if you understand what marriage is all about then go ahead a take a decision.

rolchi:
Thank God...I am happy. Cohesion is returning to our great party. We are re-positioning. The former ministers will soon be won over and under the big umbrella, the party will be re-built.

Welcome Mr. Chairman, HE Alhaji Ali Modu Sheriff. You have 3 months to prove your worth and if you do well, count me as one of your supporters, if you still decide to run for the post of Chairman during the National Convention.

Your main task now, is to re-build, re-position, recover our pride, rescue and re-structure.

Once again, welcome Sir

No he will not be qualified to run cos the party chairmanship would be zoned to the south while the presidential candidacy goes to the North.

My father senior brother. The oldest among them. Acquired witch craft, and for like 3 years non of his brothers or sisters knew, including my father, untill my grandfather died, then people start dieing anyhow. Out of seven, my father's senior brother that is a witch has suceed in killing five(5). Only my dad and him are remaining. My dad is currntly ill, and the illness is more than 4 years now. Each church we go. Prophecy tells us he is the one.

He was sucessful in killing my junior brother. And now even me and my siblings are under threat. He uses witch craft power, marmaid and even native doctors power to challenge us.

due to the fact that we are very close to god and we usually go to every church that we can. We pray day and night. Our pastor prays, fasting and many other things are keeping us alive till this time.

One of my fathers brother that reside at india since he was small, hustle untill he made it, and was even planning to bring a drug producing company to nigeria, he had already negotiated with indian poeple and finish, but the very day he wanted to board a plane to nigeria, he fanted and died.

So this man has done many evil things, killing many poeple, commiting all sort of attrocities. Even one junction in our l.g.a he is the king of witchcraft there.

He is now turning his face to our family and wants to finish us our because he sees how we are successful.

To be sincere witchcraft dont like good things, so i advice you that anything you do, do it in secret, dont open it to your village people. And also pray very well. Cause this people called witchcraft. Are somehow powerful, but their powers comes from god. Without god, they are nothing.


If you dont have witchcraft in your family, dont say that it dosent exists. It do exist and can destroy all good things in that family.


I also want to ask a question if any body have encountered this kind of thing in his or her life before.


Thanks for reading.

if your story is true. then one thing is needful and very urgent. seek the face of God to intervene. infact go to any The Lord's Chosen church around you. You will surely have testimony.

Inspectahdeck:
Continue the great work. With time your effort will show.

BUT is Egypt not close to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, why then did he come back to Nigeria yesterday and travel today. Just my thought.

He's entitled to about $1m per foreign travel. so he doesn't want to Dasukiy our money but want to get it through the other way round.

tuoyoojo:
I read that we had gotten so much money recovered from previous yam eaters

abi bigger "goats" don chop am?

They are also eating the recovered money. why won't you let Nigerian know the amount so far recovered and your plans for it.

lai Mohammed have not made any utterance concerning the fraudulent 2016 budget scam. May be they just visited Nigeria back with president Buhari. who will lead Nigerians to the promise land come 2019?Cos people have lost all hopes in this regime.

Na so Metu de talk before. this is a media war if you don't know, once you see your name for newspapers just get ready for Ibrahim Magu boys.

Brethren, Wike's victory yesterday could only be attributed to an act of God. Because the government at center was determined to bring Wike down at all cost. There was confusion among the judges. Well, not too surprised, Wike has been close to some renowned men of God that still have a good relationship with God. Congrats to the slayer of Amechi.

Am still wondering the concept of all these issue of make up or not make up . Infact devil is trying to take us away from true nature HE want us to be!!!. Devil is a liar instead we should preach perfect LOVE and modesty that's all. If you like look unkept for the sake of christ but there is no LOVE of christ in you , you are wasting. In this LOVE the holy spirit dwell. When you love christ you won't do what make HIM angry.

Remember when you repent (that's accepting Him as your Lord) then you need conversion (doing away with worldly things including attire, makeup, association etc) so that you don't need to tell smn that you're a Christian but by just be holding you the person perceives the Christ in you. Deut 22:5, Jeremiah 4:30.

These goods belongs to the Igbos. what have the Igbos done to deserve these kind of treatment from the APC led federal government?

avoidable distractions

This woman should not be taken seriously by Nigerians. because she was favoured in the ministerial slot, now she can dust her opposition tool (BBOG). as in.....

At least Dasuki and co would have small rest from the media as attention now shifts to doctored Nigerian budget. tell me the hope of a common man on the street this year when this kind of thing is coming out from the people that promised Nigerians change. Mama peace, u may be right in your definition of (conductor's)change.

Descartes:
He should resign immediately or get sacked

Enang is only playing a script. after the media attack by Tinubu's newspaper (The nation), the presidency wanted to change so many things in the budget, cos that document was just a show of shame and gross incompetent to the inexperienced economic team of Mr Buhari.

These funds are coming out just because Abacha is dead today. what of Obj's loot? IBB's, Abdulsalami's? just to mention but a few. pls off record, what about Nigerian economy as of today?

What shall we then say of the Bayelsa election? who will probe the military action against humanity at the just concluded Bayelsa election? God is watching us with this wave of change in Nigerian today.

Umeh set to dump APGA for APC, no, May be he eat part of Dasuki yam looking for soft landing. kai! politicians self.

[quote author=austentero post=41846547]About one thousand members of the People
Democratic Party in Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni local
government area of Rivers State have defected
to the All Progressives Congress.
One of the most prominent defectors is Prof.
Henry Ogboma.
Prof. Ogboma was a member of the Judicial
Panel of Inquiry set up by the state Governor
Nyesom Wike, to probe the administration of the
former Governor of State, Rotimi Amaechi.
Prof. Ogboma made damning revelations, not
just concerning the PDP as a party but also with
regards to Governor Wike and his Panel of
Inquiry.
According to him, “when I was proposed as
member of the Judicial Panel of Inquiry, I told
them that I was not disposed to such an
assignment, but after I appraised the nature of
those who came to my house to persuade me to
accept the job, their utterances and advice, I
came to the conclusion that the assignment was
not open for my election. So I took it.
“The private briefing was more shocking and
worrisome to me. It was more like, ‘you guys
must look for something, you must create
something to indict Amaechi’.
“The Report was adjusted several times without
success. At some point I felt pity for the
Chairman. He was helpless. Please, I don’t want
to say more about that Panel for now. All I can
tell you is that the PDP is an assemblage of
greedy elements, militants and touts who have
no interest of the State at heart. The Governor
and the PDP are desperate and wickedly
mischievous. You need to be extremely careful
to stay around them.”
In the same vein, seven members of the PDP in
Ndele community in Emuoha local government
and about fifty others in Elelenwo community in
Obio Akpor local government also defected to
the APC.
Receiving the defectors at the different venues,
the running mate of the Governorship candidate
of APC, Asita Asita encouraged the people to
work for the party and development of the state.
Asita expressed hope that Rivers people would
have elections where voters would exercise their
fundamental rights.

[quote author=bigass123 post=41819874]Pastor Adeboye Of RCCG Shocks Everyone As He Talks About His Impending Death

---

The annual Holy Ghost Congress of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) ended with cold biblical references by the General Overseer, Pastor E.A Adeboye about death which left his audience in cold shock.

Millions of worshippers in attendance roared in disapproval as Pastor Adeboye, hinted at his possible passing.

The one-week programme ended on Saturday, with a three-in-one service, comprising anointing, communion and impartation. Ministering on the transfer of anointing, Adeboye said he would not be too young at 73 to go back to his creator. He would be 74 in March.

He was explaining why the transferred anointing is always more potent than the index case, using Moses and Elijah as examples. Using the scripture, Adeboye pointed that where Moses, who got his anointing directly from God failed, Joshua, who got his fire from Moses, excelled.

He also cited the case of Prophet Elijah who performed 7 miracles while Elisha who got his anointing from Elijah when God was taking him away, performed 14 miracles.

Adeboye equally explained that the beneficiaries got the transferred anointing when their masters were about passing away.

He said he would anoint his wife and other very senior pastors who, in turn, would anoint other pastors, from where the worshippers would experience their own anointing fire.
After the explanation, he looked at the congregation and said:

"you may be wondering if I am about to go. Will it be too early for a 73-year-old man to die? If I go now, who will say it is too early? "

At this point, the worshippers, who were at the beginning rejecting his passing in a murmur, roared their disapproval loudly from all the four corners of the new auditorium.

Smiling, Adeboye added, “I am not too young to die.” Again, the crowd screamed their disapproval.

He later calmed everyone down, saying:

"okay, it is not now (I’m not dying now)."
To which the crowd roared a thunderous “Amen.”
