Politics / Re: Army: Why We Cannot Expose Boko Haram Sponsors by IamDavid(m): 6:49am On Jul 03, 2020
And to people defending the army and government in general, just remember that this government releases Boko Haram members back to the public even after some soldiers have died in order to get them captured.

Agreed your duty is to be on the frontline but una still fit try leak some secrets to people like Aunty Kemi or Sahara reporters these people will be your voice na
If there's a will to end biko haram, there's definitely a way. Don't mind the people toying with human lives, with the lives of Nigerians and their brothers in arms. Nigerians are the problems of Nigeria, that's the issue. But really, how sweet is power? To worth the continual sacrificing of fellow Nigerians? Is it the convoys? The free jet rides? The billions and the respect... I hope those guys have a re think, cos they won't enjoy any of those things for more than... say 120 years. Boom, we're equal again.

SARS, EFCC, and ICPC officers and their heads are all after their financial gains. Most times, abnormalities go on for several years or decades before they get documented in Nigeria. It's so sad.

I don't attend church since Jesus Christ never built one, never said His followers should, and never suggested attending one wa s necessary for me to end up doing the Will of God. I don't listen to the sermons of men either
I do preach but only as He leads me to.

But does it really matter that the book was translated by humans? Shouldn't we at least trust God enough to believe that no matter what errors and mistakes were made during the writing and many translations that ensued, He is able to ensure that His truth reaches the heart of those who sincerely seek Him?
Do you put your trust in the translations and comments of mere mortals or do you place it squarely with God allowing Him to lead you to His truth wherever and however He will.

During the first couple of weeks of my knowing God, God did not lead me to reading the bible for answers to questions i had in my heart at the time.
He lead me to books that opened my eyes to the truth of Him and to the realization that even the Bible, the book is in fact not the word of God, but a book that contains the word of God written down. The truth in the book are the very words that come right out of the mouth of God(Jesus Christ in the NT). Every thing else are words of men.
Oh... I get you now. But really you don't have to live in self isolation forever. Being a believer isn't a positive Covid 19 result. I pray you read the scriptures to the extent that you'll start to fellowship with the brethren. Trust me, the church is always joyous house anywhere I find myself, and that is what our God promised.

Nowhere in the Bible though is the claim that the Spirit of God provides private "interpretation" of what is written substantiated. It is just that I have heard so many people make the claim in relation to "studying" the bible that i thought to bring it up.

I don't read books written by so-called men of God because Jesus Christ commanded His followers not to perceive themselves teachers in their own right.

I like what John the apostle said when He advised all believers to stick to the teaching of the Spirit of God and only Him. Those are wise words since It is in obedience to that which Jesus Christ Himself commanded.
Do you attend a church? Do you wait during sermon? Do you preach to others? If you do any of those you're definitely contradicting yourself. Don't forget that the Bible we read today was translated by humans into English and other languages, we even have many versions out there. While we remain watchful and prayerful to avoid false teachings, discarding every attempt to be taught other believers is on the extreme.

What do you hope to achieve when using such a bible?
I see you are not one of those who believes the Spirit of God gives special interpretation to the words in scripture. Instead your interpretation comes from the mind of so-called Bible scholars. Or am i wrong?.
Smiles. I absolutely believe in the ability of the Holy Spirit to interprete the scriptures. But believe me, there's nothing wrong in reading commentaries, if one is convinced to do so. I've been to many churches due to change in location and I've seen my pastors read Study Bibles. Trust me, you'll just understand more. Don't you read any spiritual book apart from the Bible? Kenneth Hagin, Reinhard Bonnke, etc. I know there could be some wrongs in such books, but if you read them with the directive of the holy Spirit, you'll get more. Peace.

An hour to read a chapter? What chapter is that? It takes only minutes to read any chapter. The entire book of Genesis you can read through in a matter of hours, if you are serious. Which kind reading una dey read so? undecided undecided undecided
Lol... I get you. I've done those fast paced readings before but I want to take a different approach now. I use the Matthew Henry complete commentary and to study that alone, trust me, one will easily spend up to 30 mins on a chapter. I'll speed up a bit now tho. say 5-10 chapters per day.
Religion / Read The Bible Through by IamDavid(m): 11:20pm On Jun 25, 2020
Good evening fam. I just started a Bible reading plan and I chose the easiest option. It runs for about 3 years, yes, three good years. I chose that because I don't want to get chocked by the way and stop. It's about a chapter a day and it means a lot to me. Also, I don't just want to "read" through, I want to study through. I read commentaries, browse for more info, read different versions pray along, etc. Sometimes it takes up to an hour to study a chapter. Reading the Bible everyday actually feels good, and I encourage you to do the same or better. May God bless us all. Pls share your experience "reading the Bible through".

Romance / Re: Here's My Plight. Thinking Of Suicide by IamDavid(m): 9:55pm On Jun 24, 2020
ApostleAnarchy:
Good day people. I have really wanted to share my life-threatening weakness with someone but unfortunately, i have no one.. let me begin

We all have some imperfections/weaknesses, some might be physical disabilities, hair baldness, mental disabilities etc. It can come in any form as long as its something that you see and regret in yourself everyday you wake up. I am 20 and i discovered mine when i was 16.. On entering university, i discovered i couldn't really communicate with anyone in school and i detested public places, people hated me naturally and never came close to me.wherever i went, people talked silently about me.
Whenever i tried going against this weakness to try and kick off any conversation whatsoever, physical symptoms like; sweating, shaky limbs,loss of words, uncomfortability etc manifested.. After few weeks in the university, i lied to my parent that i hated my course and that i couldn't cope.. In summary; I dropped out just like that


After staying idle at home for years, i got a decent job which i really cherished, i worked for about a month there, trying my best to hide my weakness but on entering my second month of work there, things changed and my weakness made me quit.

Beginning of this year, i noticed that it has also began affecting my relationship with close relatives and most have begun moving away from me. They say i am immature and a snub. They don't want to have anything to do with me anymore. My parent is threatening that i need to leave his house very soon as i am now a man but my weakness makes me so weak..

I am not bad looking but due to this weakness, i have never had a girlfriend. I push all the girls that want to know me away with this weakness..

Parents Should not only give their kids food and put them in schools, they should also communicate deeply with them.
I was a victim of a broken home and i stay with my abusive father. As a child, i suffered from neglect because no one cared about me and now, its threatening my existence on Earth. Whenever i remember how lonely and empty i am, i weep cos i am not equipped to stay alife.

Please advice me because am tired. I have tried being social but my weakness always destroys everything. I feel hopeless



Come on bro, I understand your fears. First, look for a male friend with similar interests, make friends for a while and open up to him about your insecurities. If you're a believer, pray to God and know that He loves you and He wants you out of that mess.... I'll pray for you tonight. Don't let my prayer waste o lol... peace!

It's always best to be married, but with the untimely death that comes with the problems and cheating of marriage, I logically prefer being a baby daddy... That way we bought have rest of mind and look everlasting youthful....

There are only two scams i know

1. RELIGION
2. MARRIAGE
The funny thing is that there are many people living their best lives, married, practicing their faith. You need to understand that the world is so diversified. Marriage and religion are not working for some people doesn't mean they are scams.

Yes, we do things because of God but we should encourage good morals too. The op didn't stop being herself because they weren't "thanking her". Show gratitude. Little things like this makes the world a better place.

Dear op, don't be confused by the coincidences, no matter how much they are. Honestly, you are a good person, thanks for being good and don't let those ungrateful people discourage you. That being said, it's very wrong not to show appreciation. I'm even surprised to see a pastor in your write up, where do people get all these teachings from?

Lamba42:
Well, here's the truth. The chances are very very thin because by the time you're done struggling and you've made something of yourself she'd probably be engaged or married to someone else.This would often be the case atleast up on till your 30's when you've managed to make something of yourself but by then you'd probably find it really difficult marrying your mate and you'd go after much younger , fresher looking babes. However, their are rare cases where this happens. It takes a hardworking woman who loves you and is truly willing to struggle with you that'd marry her mate ! That's if her mother and all and other females haven't convinced her to go for someone older.
No lies. I think it works more for people who started up together and decided not to part. say from sec school or uni
