" Knowest ye not that the Kingdom of Heaven is within thee?"


"Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you."

Luke 17:21


Well, this is the new I sha. I am still not a Christain. But I believe I am now born again, and I have this new spirit within me that is the spirit of God, and this presupposes that the Kingdom of God is within me.

Learnt this from a book authored by Robert Collier, " the secret of the Ages". He made loads of references to the Bible and other books, and I had to do some research. I recalled Bishop David Oyedepo had mentioned something like this before now in some of his older books I read that didn't mean so much to me at that time.

It was like I was reading a novel for the sake of knowledge and nothing more. But looking back, I can't help but ask.

But wait fess. This matter nor clear abeg!

If this kingdom dey inside me, why many churches come still dey preach about one kingdom wen dem dey package us to go after our time on earth?

Jehovah's Witnesses say that is no resurrection after death. We simply die, and that is it. I have read loads of materials authored by them, and they are the only sect of preachers that do discuss the Bible with you like you are in a class. I give that to them.

They were the first sect of believers that made the Bible an interesting book to me. Well! That is about that. Now back to my story.

So, what do you think?

If there is already a kingdom within us that has guaranteed us all we need on earth if we are able to look inwards, why do churches and religion teach us to look outside of us for a kingdom that is to come?

I am just a young bible student who needs some Biblical education.

Shalom.

yeah you right cuz a pound came down from 1182 to 1130 this afternoon
this is a temporary measure cuz we don't produce for export to keep it stable

Rescuing currency with usd isn't only a Nigerian practice. It's done in all dollar-driven economies globally. The onus is on the leader of that country to monitor the disbursement and place a heavy sanction on erring agencies or banks. Across Europe, there's an agency called Travelex. There are others too who act like the bureau de change and sell fx to those who need them. I've bought usd and euro from Travelex in France, Germany and Switzerland in the past at their airports, Dubai too. There was a time they came to Nigeria.

But here, corruption may not allow this to work effectively but in a way, it would strengthen the naira. The federal government should reach out to registered bdc as they did in the past when the pdp was in power and allocate fx to them for sale to the public and monitor compliance. There was a time in this country when usd was almost same in rates both at the official and parallel markets. It was because bdcs were allocated fx constantly. Doing this will strengthen the naira and put less pressure on it. I hope the dollar crashes further cos I've got loads of fx transactions to make. I've been waiting since June.

My desire is to take the bull by the horns, inspite of the conquences.

Thanks.

Eriokanmi:
I'm not a fan of Tinubu and his visionless apc party but I bought dollar at 810 at Allen avenue around 4pm yesterday. I hope it crashes further because it will favour us the more.

These speculators are the problem of the fx market..what Tinubu should do is pump more dollars to stabilise naira, if he has the balls to do so. Western policy introduced is killing Nigerian economy.
He's such a visionless leader . What the Nigerian economy is going through right now is as a result of dictates from the west.

Elvis2kay:
All dollars account must be close. This is Nigeria and Naira is what we spend. No Naira account is allow in USA.

Dtruthspeaker:
Finally, you see that most atheists are devils. When they can not logically answer or defend their case, they start lying and twisting and sneakily try to change the argument (changing post) to another separate issue.

Very dishonest people.

TheSourcerer:
I decided to write this after the sad news of Christains been "persecuted " by the Hindus in "remote" parts , I mean why? This thing keeps happening, and sadly this will not be the last case as its a cyclical paradox , Why this battle for a God we know nothing about , we did not learn about pain! If you get a new born infant and toss it into a pan of hot grandnut oil , we all can imagine what would happen ? So why is the knowledge of the love or existence of One True God be Learned? We clearly didn't learn about pain did we, but a God who did create "Heaven" and "Earth", knew us before we were "born" , we should at least has a sort of decorum at this point on who he look likes and the religion he "listens" to .

This is an #Unharmful Question, I did not insult your loved one nor intimidate you in any way ,
Good Morning and have a lovely day ahead

You can see how Dishonest these people are. Atheism cannot be defined without God and yet this people say they don't understand the concept of God!

So, its either they are being Dishonest, Liars or incredibly Dumb.

LordReed:
I don't understand what a god is so I don't understand how it has any attributes or performs any actions. You can either choose to engage me based on that or believe it indicates anything you like.

LordReed:
LoLz. Yes even such concepts as atheism take on a strange hue when the question of what a god is cannot be resolved.

lexy2014:
How do the banks make dollars scarce and make it available to their customer BDCs?

Are you a witness to such?

I thought Tinubus new forex policy was supposed to take care of all these?

How is it now different from the previous forex regime?

If Nigerians need high-handedness, what does the govt need? Pampering?

HappyPagan:
Please stfu. Thanks.

She won't ever recover. My parents 'died' after my siblings died in a plane crash. It's almost twenty years later, and they still aren't themselves.

jogojogo:
My younger brother passed on almost a month ago after being admitted for 3 month at UCH Ibadan. The young man was in his twenties who just wrote is last paper in February. He was diagnosed of aplastic anaemia and was under medical attention untill he passed on.

The death came to us with deep sorrow and pain. I have tried to move on even though it's difficult. I still cry every day secretly but my biggest concern right now is how to get my mother to move on. She has remain unconsolable as every morning I could hear her cries as early as 4.00am daily. I had to be with her in her room talking to her.

Soon, I will be travelling and I am worried she may never find any reason to be happy.

I have spoken to her in my little wisdom and don't even know what else to be telling her.

I need our advice please on how better to handle this and what can be done to effectively help the situation

LordReed:
Neither. Increasingly the concept of what a god is has become incoherent and ambiguous to my understanding. Because of this unravelling, I can no longer give credence to any other question based on it while the concept of what a god is remains unresolved.

In case you think this is a dodge I will post places where before now I have expressed similar sentiments.

Jestin:
I think the people in Government are not just ready to fight corruption yet. Maybe because they are benefiting from it. The oil imports and this dollars rate is one of the biggest factors affecting the economy of this country

LordReed:
So according to you I have taken a position of perfect ignorance and also have sufficient knowledge, can you see the contradiction?
