I wanted to do a topic today, but seeing your post i have decided to shelve it as this will benefit a lot of truthseekers.
THIS IS THE SUPREME CHRISITAN MESSAGE:
Now, the sin that condemns man before God is the sin nature in man; read this: Romans 5:12, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: When Adam and eve sinned it was passed to us like a deadly disease is paased to offsprings even if they are innocent. Drugs addict, Aids patients etc. Sin therefore, is in our DNA, and indeed, all who are born sexual relationship.King David explains this further, see Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Therefore, nomatter how good you maybe you can not be good enough for God because of this sin nature see Psalms 14:3, They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Like i said Gods standard so high that men fall short due to this sinnature in man [Adamic nature] This sin is what Jesus came to undo. and if you beleive and confess then you are saved!sActs 16:30-31 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Karma is not used in the bible but is implied in many passages, but i only refer you to one, see Ephesians 6:8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. If you sin after receiving jesus you wil receive the reward here too see Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Bros, this is where we miss it.. our message is to tell others about the eneffable love God has for his creature and why Jesus came seeJohn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We do not accept salvation due to fear, but that our creator loves us so much. let God decides that not we amplyfying that.

APC hand work

Think again.... there are fracas within the PDP and one stalwert is known to be a cult leader in his days at school and he is still one and this one is having serious grudges with the party"s leadership. no go quote meooo lol i mean investigation must not ignore these facts. i am not saying he is responsible for it, but it must not be overlooked.

alphaNomega:
if god was real as all religions make us believe, we would not need doctors and hospitals. We would not even need farmers and fishermen.

Atheism or what? well, i thought that school of thought have been dealt with by intellectuals in various fields. Many do not know because christianity is reasonable, but not obvious it is more like E=MC2 than 2+2=4. Great minds like Aquina,Anselm, Bonaventura,scotus, Luther,Calvin,Descartes, Galileo. Medical doctors like Tunde Joda, my personal physician, the founder of Dunamis church and his wife, [both medical doctors] Mathematicians like Adeboye. Please, Humble yourself and let the lord reveal Himself to you. These are not the times of drawing back. To the other question there are many factors; one your life can be cut short without you fulfiling your days, therefore, be careful jesus once hid himself from his persecutiors, yet when his time came presented himself while telling peter to shelth his sword. Again all pastors are men therefore, must live like one : rest and others. Then living till you are as old as menthuselllah may not be God"s timing for you.
Moreover, if there is no God i will not lose anything for beleiving after i die, but if there is God you, wiseman will lose, why not join my side; the side of real wise people.

Treasure17:

That's why you are still single

My sister give yourself peace... if you must marry a pastor you have the grace for that which you fear; after all women like you marry a young soldiers they know could be called to war front any time.

The life of a wild beast is something to notice with a lot of deep thought contrasted   with the lives of humans. Let us take the life of a male lion; every male lion will kill the cobs of a lioness without hesitation just to have it own offspring from that lioness; if the lioness can hide the cobs from ravaging lion so good, but if not the cobs are killed. The lioness will have no choice than to give in to the killer lion and have its offspring. The circle continues. This is their world they do not see it as bad or evil or unfair. We as humans being do see evil and express our outrage no matter the societal status of who is perpetrating it. This shows we have something in us something like the breath of life which the creator breathes into man during the creative process, something that makes us see an event and give it a name: good evil, morally wrong, ethically wrong.   It true from our observation on earth, that evil also unleash it terror on the innocents and the guiltless ones.  A promiscuous man took a woman to bed got infected with Acquired immune deficiency syndrome [AIDS] and goes home only to infect his innocent wife. A man got a lot of money from his mother’s burial ceremony [Africa burial ceremonies] the next day he is attacked and the money demanded by robbers after the scuffle that ensue the man is fatally shot dead. A pastor serving at a branch in the UK of one of most populous church in Africa decided to go on a vocation to Spain with his family. While on the terrace the daughter called out from the swimming pool desperately gasping for breath his brother was the first to jump in to serve her , but got gasping later on  Father wade in to save his offspring, but he met the same faith; Story? All died in thatpool! Mother had to return to UK with her a lone daughter. Recently one of Nigeria foremost banker, philanthropist and educationalist died along his wife, and son in the united state of America. These sad stories are real and happened to real people, maybe you heard about one or two for sad stories travel faster and tends to endure while good news is fragile and it takes a lot to keep it afloat. Therefore, no one can deny the fact confronting us all, that bad things sometimes happen to good people;  Man in their attempt to blame these unfortunate victims will go into history, foraging, looking for one perceived bad thing the dead have done and when they find it attributes it to their ill faith. That reminds us of a certain situation in the church at Corinth. They indulged in boasting and contentment, Apostle Paul had to warn them of one evil in their mist that could ruin all the good amongst them. See 1 Corinthians 5:2-6, And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? Yes, one evil can ruin a bunch of good deeds and stay on top of that deeds for a very long time.  [KJV] What I am saying here, is that our world works in this way, the power of evil seems to have a power over good.

It is in the light of such events that the naïve question the existence of God and others who have seen a lot God’ informs of healing, miracles and others to deny His existence, forms the idea that we have many gods; some good and some evil. Then we have those who in their simplicity sum it up as Gods will for the evil or suffering to occur yet the bible says James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:  Evil, suffering had happen to people in the bible.  Good people, in the bible have suffered evil too. Nobody bears testimony to this than the son of God that incarnated into man, Jesus our lord and savior.. see Hebrews 4:15, For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. That God, called the mighty God, who incarnated, went through deprivations and hides from evil men. See Mark 8:31, and he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. That our savior encountered suffering, rejection and humiliation only shows that it would be naïve for preachers, pastors to teach that as Christians we are immune or free from pain and suffering. Now, it must be made plain that the sufferings that Jesus went through while on earth is different from the suffering, pain and death on the cross; see Luke 9:58 And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. While on earth doing good and healing the sick he had not even a house of his own! He was even born in a manger. The death on the cross is to bring us back to God, bought our salvation and die in our place that was why he said in the book of Mark 10:4, for even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. It was not to save us from the evil, pain sufferings that are in this world, which was introduced when Adam fell, after being warned by God of the consequence of disobedience. He suffered, his disciples suffered afterwards and almost all the apostles met death at the hands of evil men. But we should pray like he commanded us to do  against evil in the book of Matthew 6:13, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Let us not forget or overlook this; bad things strikes in the house of the good and the evil see Luke 8:23 but as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. Matthew 7:24-25 therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” The rain came, the wind blew….even upon the house of the righteous just like it rained and blew upon the house of the evil man.”. Mark 4:38-39, and he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. The wind came not caring that the lord and Christ the messiah was in that ship, it came with intent to perish the occupants and shipwreck the boat: Where the occupant of the boat sinners?  On the contrary the personification of righteousness was in that boat, the mighty God was in that boat, the savior of the world was in the boat. Evil can come

anytime to all, but the righteous can take authority and ask God to deliver from this evil. Remember, Jesus prayed that we should be delivered from evil. He did not say “to protect from it.” Evil can come knocking, but you can emulate our lord and savior by taking authority through prayers and confessions of faith and the finished work on the cross of calvary.

Evil only proves is there is a God, otherwise many will mock and say what do i need heaven for when i have it all here; no evil no suffering and no death. But when these events occur we laa have no choice than to ask ourselves what is life [Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?]

I leave you to ponder over this scriptural verse : 1 Corinthians 15:19, If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.

"The Jewish state’s war with Hamas broke out on October 7, when the organization’s terrorists launched an unprecedented attack on Israel’s south, murdering some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping 253 amid acts of brutality including sexual violence.'
It would be naive for foreign ministers, ambassadors, international instutute of policy and strategies, and government to say they are surprise that Israel is taking it this far quite on the contrary even layperson interested in international politics know that this would happen therefore, enough of the hypocrisy.

John 1:12. 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: Bible king james version.

Unlike many religions, Christianity offers us a free pass for many things without obligation to carry out ceremonial rite that to cleanse us from evil. Unlike other religion Christianity does not require us to spill our own blood as a demonstration to our God that we are devout and pious. 1 Kings 18:27-28, And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. Unlike other religion, Christianity and their practitioners do not fight for their God. see Judges 6:28-31 And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built. And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing. Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it. And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar .There are assurances and promises that never fail the Christians can depend on because the giver is not a man that can give false promise and hope. See Numbers 23:19, God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? futhermore, read Isaiah 55:11, So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not returnunto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Whatthis passage means in layman term is thatthe wordwhich God almighty speak are like a messenger , they go out and accomplish thier mission no matter the obstacle no matter the force and no matter the hindrances set up by man or evil force the sent word always deliver and carryout his assingment and return back to base. Man, is finite and has a lot of frailties and weaknesses and limit in his abilities: You see that when breath has gone out of a man, he leaves his hands open not clinchig anything, lifeless and still. Anyone who accepts the Lord into his lifeas his personal lord and saviour must have faith in Him read Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. And what is this faith ? Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It is taking God fir his word and promises in any areas, health, protection and deliverance and assurance of a wonderful future of an eternal life. Hebrews 12:2, tells us , Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.] How is Jesus “the author of our faith“? Jesus paid the price, and meet the requirement for us all; [Atonement for sin] Anyone who have decided to follow him without looking back to the world [rejectiob salvation[, looking up to Jesus has a lot of assurances and promises. It does not stop there they also do receive spiritual blessings without paying any price like I have noted other religion practices.

SALVATION IS FREE:

Isaiah 55:1-2 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Only believe:

Acts 16:29-31 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

YOU ARE INEFFABLE LOVED:

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

MARANATHA!

It is this type of outrageous despotic tendencies that we must all fight against by ensuring there is genuine democracy all over the wolrd... the rise of dictators in the 20th century t stated with the dead leaders of North korea, the present one [who give a damn about his name] vlademir putin and now Donald trump is aiming to join them ! if countries like China, North korea, US and some other
eastern european leaders should have thier way think for a moment how the wolrd will look like; if you can pray do so now, to your God to deliver us from this looming threat to peace and individual freedom in this century. the most painful aspect is that there have a lot of lackies, stooges and zombies who will do thier biddings; imagine Donlad trump forbidding republicans from supporting the law that will have more border controls. It is just sickening and more than mere words, posted on social media. God help the nations.
Meanwhile Alex is dead and there is nothing anyone can do about it only the hulabaloo and noise then all will faded away. Nodoubt America will denounce it this is becaouse Democracy is still there of Trump should win such atrocities will only be discuseed in our bedrooms cus i no see any european country wey go carry de burden of calling out such killings.

This question was asked by a friend of my daughter when she was telling her about the love of God. The question is why not whether. therefore, it was a foregone conclusion to her that God did sent people to hell. So simply, but not many have asked that even from a pastor or teacher of the word. She ran home to ask me what she sees as a simple/curious question, but with complicated answer.

In a normal family setting the first impression of God should come from your parents, your teacher, and those who influence your life.Deuteronomy 11:19-20, And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: When growing up at home how God is introduce, presented and taught develop the concept you have of God. How your parents reacts when they talk about this God how they show reverence and worship, how they refer to him? Was the impression given off that he loves? Or as one who brook no nonnsense? you see him very big, mighty, wilding a stick to bring down on you? Do you see Him as a God who is full restrictions? Do you think God stops you from having fun, happiness and your own way of life? How is your imagination of God? Do you imagine him Sitting up there, looking to see those who will make a false move that he may bring down the hammer through one kind of sufferying or the other? Having one of these initial impressions of God is what will later inform how you relate to him. It is like meeting your uncle you have been told many times over that he was a scoundrel and hates children. Surely you are very wary when in his presence; you would not leap into his arms when you meet him, but will only dread him. The above question is not whether, but why. Therefore, the answer was already known to this child, but curiosity is her quest. That God, likes sending people to hell was already impressed in her heart. It grieves the heart that God has been misrepresented by many parents, guardians and mentors. Many have grown up with such impression and have put the idea of God in the backburner in thier lives. They can not understand why many still go to church they say, to worship this God. The best place to know about God is through his own letter written by appointed persons[Prophets and Apostles] to you as his creature. Read 2 Timothy 3:16, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Every other source can not capture the true love of God than the bible. Compare this to what the bible says Jeremiah 31:3, The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

KEY message By God to you as a person:

1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.Do you know any person who loves you very much? Father, mother or uncle/aunt? Their love pales when compares to the love that God your creator has for you. First, He created you. YOU will know this if only you open up to him in spirit Job 32:8, But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. No man can tell you this ineffable love. Read about this love in another passage: John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. Hell was never meant for you. how many parents despite thier short comings will send thier children to hell and delights in seeing them there? yet, God is love Jesus said in Matthew 7:9-11, Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Thereforem hell is not Gods message to us, but love and those who go to hell choose to do so on thier own volition; for hell is meant for the fallen angels who knows the truth, but choose to ignore it.Deuteronomy 30:19, I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

GOD IS LOVE!

DMerciful:
These will be stolen eventually. This is not what government do but private companies. Government fix roads, drainage, pipe borne water, health services, schools.

Encourage companies to invest in transportation but not be involved in buying vehicles that government cannot run profitably or successfully

Yes, but for now, the government must pass on the awareness and benifit to the environment of these cars. have Like in Eutope: you get road tax exemption in Germany and The netherlands where some cars pay as much as 91 euros monthly [my road Tax, a car that is 1.8 litire engine] No new advert is encourage via radio or TV if it is not electric. Do not forget by 2024 France will not allow any gasoline automobile anymore on thier roads.

Many things you will behold this year 2024; but your interpretation and how you react will change the situation. It is a case of either the glass is half full or is half empty; I know many predictions about the new-year will follow the usual pattern : prosperity, increase and multiplication. One wonders why many pastors ans prophets fail to warns us to be on guard. Yet, our arch-enemy, the devil, will again be at his game with the believers in 2024. If anything, he will up his tactics because he knows the time is nearer with each passing day. The bible forewarns us about Satan’s devices, with these two particular words: “SOBRIETY and VIGILANCE”. These words sobriety and vigilance, are synonymous, the qualities of a good watchman or security operative. It elicits seriousness, alertness and wakefulness. If a security agent lacks these qualities, security is sooner compromised than later. Alertness makes you notice any unusual happenings or movement and vigilant comes from the word vigil that is doing your job without blinking an eyelid because of sleep. A man at the watchtower, in biblical times needed these qualities because lacking of them will spell doom for the sleeping inhabitants and thus put them all in danger of an evading army,who torched the city and in the confusion snip the people as they run helter skelter, with deadly aims of thier bows and arrows. Just as an army in warfront adopts a strategy so too the devil adopts a strategy, every year to get the believers to backslide,fall into temptation and live in sin. The bible calls it devices. The enemy can adopt different guises to enter the closed citties and unleash havoc. So, too the devil will schemes every year and this in particular, he will come in disguise, to deceive, to lure and seduce the believers. His modus operandi is to make a believer fall out of grace, backslide and sit with the scornfuls. Therefore, it behooves the believers to heed the bible warnings 1 Thessalonians 5:6, therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 1 Thessalonians 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. Titus 2:4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, Titus 2:6 Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:. Jesus our lord and savior told the disciples the cardinal point of Saran’s program. To steal, kill and destroy. John 10:10, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The parts of the body that the devil will desire to take advantage are our eyes, our hands and our ears. Yes, your vision may impact your life because what you see have more power to convince you than what you hear. Devil does not do much whispering like he plays the game of deception with you through what you see. His chief weapon is what you see. Mark 13:22, For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. The part of the body that assimilates signs and wonders is the eyes; not the ears or hands. What you see makes more impression .You are always witnesses because of what you see… John 4:48, Then said Jesus unto him, except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

EARS [hearing]: John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Those who have ears and no eyes can achieve more than those with eyes and no hearing. Our action and perception can be formed by what we hear. Where you are today is as a result of your action based on your hearing that comes through one way or the other. No wonder the bible says Faith, which is vital, to please the God, is base on what you hear [not on what you see].

Like our radio, we can tune to what station we desire; funk, gospel, disco or news. Our ears to hear some certain messages that we feel we want to hear. That is having itching ears. 2 Timothy 4:3, For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; many want to hear the negatives, fear, failure defeat mental disability despair and finally death. What you desire to hear you will hear them a lot because your ears shall be attune to that wave. Those who want to traffic in negatives and bad news know where and how to get them. This year let your ear seeks out positive news, news about good deeds, helps and favors. Read with me Mark 10:46-47, And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. Firstly, he heard even though he cannot see. No doubt, he has heard from Teachers and the prophets that the savior will come and heal those who have faith in him of diseases. Remember, faith comes through hearing not what you see for God is a spirit you cannot see God. Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, heard another voice that day, many speaking same thing, but he chose to hold unto what he heard before. Mark 10:48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.

HANDS: Genesis 5:29, and he called his name Noah, saying, this same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. Hands represent a lot for us. The foremost is that the hands are use for labor. Your hands represent your means of your livelihood. The hands are also use to praise God. Psalms 134:2, Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD.

The hands as depicted by Moses are a winning weapon against the enemy see Exodus 17:11-12, and it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

Laying on of hands as priests and servant of God. See Numbers 27:18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him; Matthew 19:15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. Acts 6:6 whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. These are the parts of the body that the devil we want to corrupt this year 2024, but you have overcome him already! 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

See you in church!

The journalist or useless blogger that wrote this is only interested in pushing propaganda to generate views.

The statement the group released was different from what the useless blogger wrote.

They requested for the Chief of Army staff to look into how some northerners wanted to use Lagos slots to enter the army, there was no where other South west states or anything like that were mentioned in the statement but blogger will do anything to generate traffic these days even if they have to twist an harmless statement and make it as controversial as possible.

You just spoke my views here and many will fall for this hook, line and sinker! nawaaooo

Laughing in swahili even sahara reporters ought to know better; One, by law your adopted daughter has all the right like as much the same as your biological one. The popular Madona calls David Banda her son and so it is by Law of adoption! Angelina jolly calls Zahara her daughter and the press see it that way for so it is by law! whether the adopted child turned out to be bad or good does not matter before the law of adoption. Again spiritually,[b] are we not all adopted into christ? [/b]Read the bible[b] Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [/b]Prophet Joshua, calling that girl out in that church setting was not the way to show fatherly care! It is like washing your hands off her case. Now, the accusation is not about if he is the biological father [for a biological father can disown a child by following certain laws just as he can adopt one] but that he has being cruel to her!that is not acceptable by law.Many testified of the cruelty not just the said girl! So if it a court case the girl was on her way to winning because the law rely on witness and proof.I no go school,and i be lawyer, but Sahara reporters no try here at all. This is a nonbrainer and irrelevant to the issue at hand.

Let us ask the right questions; how many of the people he had healed all these years are now pastors in thier countries? How many have come forward from America, Australia, South Africa as pastors . If you say these people lied to achieve what purpose? What will be thier gain for doing that? The man was dead and gone. How come the BBC, could bring all these people together to spin these lies, collaborating one another? One of the white girls who left before his passing was seen on video arguing with policemen who tried to stop her from leaving saying that man raped me! . So the other women in tears was also lying? So no one of these inner circles could defend him concerning these allegations? I have listened to the man preachings, he never had a deep revelation of the bible, just only elementary.Hebrews 6:1-2 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. Mark 13:22, For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. One way to identify a false prophet is his ability to perform signs and wonders. Even our lord never performed miracles every day because at the end of the day, the gospel is to win lost people, convert men from darkness into the light. To those who say they want to malign him after his death, know this: Truth always emerges after the passing of anybody therefore, what you heard after the passing of anyone could well be the truth.

Truth is a slow mover, but it will surely arrive destination... we expect them to put up a defence, but not such a weak one...
Sequel to this BBC documentary. Has [many teachers not used the bible as a reference] to tell us about this man? We do not have to be daft. The documentary is very convincing and the remnant of his followers should put up better defence. Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Though, I beg to concur that many here are novices to spiritual matter.

When REV. Chris Okotie called him out with ample evidence from the bible, how many believed him? That man is one of the true men of God, but like the world rejected truth, so the world is not paying attention to Okotie. God help us.

Today, we round up this series. I hope the Holy spirit will expand these seeds in you, for indeed, the word of God needs illumination through the working holy spirit. Teachers only ignite the flame and the Holy spirit illumines it to those who are willing. Jesus, our lord and savior, refers to the word of God as the seed which the sower sows, but what makes it grow is the holy spirit which you invite through meditation on the word and allowing it to guide you on every day. Joshua 1:8, This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. May God bless you as you read.

WHAT IS INYOUR HANDS IS ENOUGH FOR GOD TO START.

What should always elates the christian is that God does not place a high demand on us in any way; God Started and completed, the work of salvation. Hebrews 12:2, Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. So too, to grow, prosper God has finished it, and so what you have in your hand is enough for God. you do not need millions. God is the God of small beginnings. Whether in ministry, in business, or in any venture, if God is called into it, He looks what you have and starts there, for therein lies the miracle, the hands of God; if you start with big capital, what praise is that to him? Time and time again, we read in several scriptural verses how God starts small; John 6:9, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? Yes, that wonderment is where God displays his awesome power; when it seems impossible.1 Kings 17:12-14 And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. Big ministries with universities, hospitals to thier names started from the room of the visioner who believes in this “small beginning“, otherwise he would have gone borrowing. I welcome you as you start on your way up with that little in your hands. Remember, if you write a book on how to be a millionaire, and your background is a wealthy one it will not attract much audience, but if you start with the little, the minute the infinitesimal small, then men wants to buy to know how you made it. This is the time for your testimony. Rejoice, and do not despise the day of small beginning.

Job 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

What is forgiveness? to answer this question we must go to the bible for the very act of forgiveness is a divine one, therfore, we sholud have our defintion from the word of God. Read with me Psalms 145:8-9, The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. This is where we must start. The very one to whom all owns forgivenss is God. Why so? This is because God as our maker, deserves worship and adoration, indeed obedience. But we departed from him due to the freedom he also gvae us. see Isaiah 53:6-7, All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Here we see God’s action. First the sin and secondly the love of God and his remedy to rescue us. We as humans also do err aginst our neighbours and others, and to this the bible is also not silent. see the bible Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And there is a tie to this injunction to forgive others; the measure we forgive those who offends us is commensurate to the measure God will forgive us too. Jesus took us back to what he said in verse 12, here see Matthew 6:14, For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: We as christian must learn like God to give a second chance to any one who has sinned against us see Jonah 3:1-2 ,And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. This action of Jonah was after his first outright disobedience in Jonah 1:1-3, Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. Let us make it a duty to forgive always as no one deserves forgiveness from the maker, but he forgives us all Jeremiah 50:20 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve. Forgiveness not easy excerpt we rely on our maker who ask us to forgive. Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.We need the power of the holyspirit to do all that God commands us. God never demands from us without his support to us if indeed, we are willing to do the right things. Steven was able to forgive those stoning himto death becaouse he had the support of the holy spirit see Acts 6:5, And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: steven was full of the holy ghost , an enabler given by God to all who want to do his will. That was what jesus was saying to his disciples in the above verse. Sadly enough there are many relative who do not see eye to eye today becaouse of inabilty of the offended one to let go but we also can see fillial forgivenss in the bible see Genesis 45:14-15, And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him. There are also those i the same church, but habors grudges against one another see 2 Corinthians 2:5-11 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

MARANATHA!

Firstly, what is salvation? It has to do with the acceptance of the message, sum and sunstance christianity is about. let us read this; Acts 4:12, Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. John 3:16-17, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Luke 19:10,For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.In a nutshell the above scriptural verses tells us what we need do and why Christ, our lord and saviour, came to this earth. when we receive this message and accept christ into our life, we are saved and have salvation.[Revelation 3:20, Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.]

Now,the question asked is can one lose his salvation, having been saved, in light of this scripture from the book of Hebrews 6:4? which reads, For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost.Let me start off by saying that this passage has given room to a lot of interpretation and it behoolves us as teachers and apologists to always look at it in light of the prevailing background and the context of that verse. One way to understand and fully grasp a passage is to follow it from the opening verse or chapter. To look at this passage with the view to get to know if indeed, we can lose our salvation, we must go to the opening. In verse 1-3,we read, Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. It is obvious here, that it deals with a strong encourament togrow in the things of God. But why would the author write this? Let us remember, that after the ascention of Christ the persecution of the christians continued for then the church was birthed. It was this background that prompts the writer. The converted jews often incurs the wraith of the highpriest who were very influncial those days and can do a lot pf harm and suffering to the professed christians and thier family. Like kicking th chidren out of the synagogue school and other forms of persecutions in some cases, even imprisonment or death. This caused some not to be open about thier faith, attend gatherings or be seen in the mists of the bold ones. By taking this action they could not get to know more about Christ. Like paul says in the book of Philippians 3:10, That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; The passage is telling those in the new found faith to get to become intimate with Christ, pray more, and live the christian life without shame or feaer of the gospel. see Romans 1:16, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. The Arminian theology says indeed, on can lose his salvation referring to Hebrews6, but we know better. As christian we are to search the scripture everyday and do our reserh on a daily bases, paul says of the people of berea in Acts 17:11, These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. No man is greater than the scripture, no man knows more than the scripture. Therefore, any interpretation that does not fall in-line with the scripture should never be taken seriously just like the people of Berea did and attracted the commendation from the apostle Paul.

Finally, let me say with scriptural backing, that we are secured in christ having been saved. John 10:28,And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. If a christian sins and remain in sin God will discipline him just as a father does his children see Hebrews 12:7-10 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Fasting serves a dual purpose. makes you become spiritually alert. The fall of man came through eating, appetite and it only takes man to deny same appetite to restore the glory. Second is healthwise. fasting increases stem cell production and allows the body to produce more white blood cells to annihilate virus infecyed cells. contrary to many, fasting does not change the move or the take of God, in any given issues though, you may fast to show your humility before God, but that does not to change his verdict. see king David mourning the dead from the product of adultery. Queen Esther's fasting is just a sign of humilty before God almighty.[The way up is always down]

I dare say, it was a reckless and illplanned move by Hamas and its supporter, Iran, it was a decoy to scuttle the move by the saudis to reconcile with Israel , but let us see how far it will go. The dead toll will be high on both sides

Let me say from the onset that while we are still on the subkect of prayers, it should not be use as a weapon to kill our perceived enemeis nor, more importantly, sen as a ‘magic wand’ that gives us all we asked of the father. Now to the reason on why God answers all prayers, [prayers that have met all criteria] Psalms 14:2-4 says, The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.engaging spiritual means to slay others is forbidden by God. In this psalm, they literally takes pleasure in killing others like one would take pleasure ineating food. Many prayers, today, are called serious prayers because they involved killing others percieved as enemies of progress or thier children’s progress. Those are nothing, but Abomination before a righteous and a loving God. If you indulge in such exercise you have not known God truely, for God is love, meaning the epitome of love. God takes delight when your prayers ascends with a request to fogive others, to restore others and to set the captive free and let His glory covers the whole earth.

The reason God answers our prayers from the above passage is not for us,we are not even worthy because’ we have all gone astray’. here are the reasosn God answers your prayers.

One, Jesus paid the price for us to be reconciled to God .Colossians 1:20, And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Two, Because we put on christ, God do not ignore us, but sees his son. Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Three, We make pryers and requests to God through Jesus christ John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

four, Our faith, Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Maranatha!

For the past few weeks, we have been on the subject of prayers, an important aspect of the believer. God hears all we say, just like man-made bug can transmit conversations in your bedroom, to an eavesdropper, thousands of miles away, just like a mobile phone can send your voice to somebody in another continent. God no doubt, due to omnipotence and omnipresence abilities can hear all. The real question is does he answer all? As bitter as this may seem the answer is No. God may answer some specific prayers to show you he is real and in an attempt to led you to him [Remember God loves all and God is love] but, claiming the prayers for your relative who was sick made him well can be disputed because others who are no christian also get well. Real and prayers that God answers are these: one, you are washed in the blood of the lamb- you are memebr of the community of faith, called royal priesthood, see 1 Peter 2:9, But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: and Two, if your prayer is a cry of repentance or a prayer for others to be saved. Many are praying amiss today, see James 4:3, Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. This kind of prayer is the weekest form of prayer; like i wrote sequel to this article, the best prayers are prayers of repentance, for God looks forward to receive them for God is love and the other, is interceding for others to repent for God wants the ‘saved’, to stand in the gap for others to be saved too. The bible says in the book of Matthew 5:15, Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. If you have seen the goodness of God as expressed through his son, jesus you want others to know God, too. There some prayers that are nothing but abomination before God! see Proverbs 28:9,He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

Remember, in the bible Abba, meaning daddy is the exclusive reserved for those members of a family. Galatians 4:6, And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. be part of this family today!

We know you guys you want traffic by all means you put a spin to what any popular pastor says, cull out the potion you want to use, but is this worthe the trouble? you are happy now abi? you go sleep well now abi? A mathematician will just tell you Naira will be stronger than dollars by faith you .

Revelation 8:4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand.

In continuation on this important topic in Christianity, let us examine through the written word of God the other prayer that God desires to hear from the saints who have access to his throne. There are two salient points that are worth noting as we round up this topic. One, God can not compromise, for if he does, then he is not a holy God. He can not also condone nor entertain sin otherwise, he would be a sinner, too; He would not be holy at that point in time. I found a scene to buttress this. During the agony of our lord Jesus, when he was paying, the ultimate sacrifice requires for man to be admitted to God. Read Matthew 27:46, And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Jesus was the epitome of sin at that point, and God had to let go of him, for he was carrying the sins of you and me. Jesus was more than an intercessor here. He paid the price. Therefore, as God can not compromise, he is more than willing to hear the prayers of the saints interceding on the sinner’s behalf.

Therefore, the best prayer with the sweetest aroma before God is the prayer of intercession.Read,Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. None, because we are busy asking God to give us that car he gave brother B. We are busy asking God for a similar house sister A just bought, claiming all by faith and intense prayers. We own it a duty to pray for others to be saved, whether in chains or sick bed. God desires all to be saved. Read John 3:17, For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. The duty for all saved ones is to intercede for others. You are enjoying the goodness and mercies of this God. you want others to enjoy with you too; Read 2 Corinthians 2:11, Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. You are now aware of the strategy of the devil and want to deliver others from his trap. Not the intense prayers for wealth and victory over a perceived enemy or enemies. God has already taken care of that for you, for you are dwelling in His secret place where their radar can not find you. Neither should you be afraid of thier arrow, for you sit in heavenly place with Christ, no arrow can reach there. That many engaged in loud prayers or visit a church where prayer and fasting are going on does not show faith, but fear. Faith makes you still and calm, not jumping from pillar to post. No wonder many are praying amiss, thinking God is not answering them because they do not engage in 30 days dry fasting.

May the grace of God bring you to a place where you realise that all those prayers you heap on yourselves are unnecessary. Rather, pray for others is the best way to get your need met.

There are those who would rather they dictate to the church of God. Pastors must mix all messages from the pulpit to the pew, and beyond via,social media, with hatred for the government,sudden death on thier perceived enemies, [ Holy ghost fire, which empowers the believers for greater work of the ministry, to save the oppress and deliver those in bondage and those under ancestral curses], now a new assignment from these ones; rain consuming fire on enemies, detractors and foes, setting them ablaze,till they confess thier evil deed and die.[though a soul is lost without salvation] But they have failed woefully. for thier stand can not stop those who are indeed called of God.Isaiah 61:1, The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. This is the spiritual assignment of pastors, you can not stop them by cajoling or coercion. These people w come to church and are excited when leaders are called out in negative note, and threatening prayers and prediction of doom on thier governance. Pastor William Kumuyi general superitendent of Deeper Christian life ministry has once again drew the wrath of these so called sheep in wolfe clothing. the first time was through a man of excellent acedemic qualification, a one time vice chancellor of a university, he called out the two most popular pastors, Enoch Adeboye and William kumuyi he wanted them to meet with the then president Buhari, and told him ” enough was enough”. He desires them to have a world conference and talked about the prevailing situation in the country. But if these popular ministers of God start to get involve in the daily affairs of the country would they not also accuse them of abardoning their clerical duties? All christian knows pastors task to thier country is to pray for the country, leading thier massive congregation in such prayers according to 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. The book of 1 Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Not the subtile sponsor of insurrection from the pulpit via a every sunday meassage . Any man of God whether in a remote village or in the centre of times square, who condemn the leadership of the country is rather, placing the cart before the horse; ours is to pray, pray and pray when things are going wrong in the country. Those who advocates fiery sermons that called out our leaders must remember that prayers go beofre any action in life and far be it from these two men of God and indeed, all those who knew thier duty to the nation is first prayers before anything else. See Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. The quoted epistle is the stand of pastors and church leaders, for our politicans. For if they do the will of God all will be well. Pator Kumuyi recently prayed for the present leadership in Nigeria, but not all receive it in good faith hence the backlash and insult which ought not to be. These ones would rather he callout situation and predict doom, but that can not be. Those in Egypt, still in need of salvation, do not know and can not tell the saved, how to talk to thier God. They can not succeed, Sadly, some churches have failed in thier mission; no sound doctrine, no good Sunday school, many do not understand the term ” Born again’ or becoming a good disciple, no sound teaching before baptism, only the fanfare associated with the ceremony [photosection and poat on social media]. All you hear is greed, avarice,coveteousness hidden in the maxim ‘our God is a rich God’. Materialism is the order of the day while contentment, which the bible advocates, is rarely mentioned . See 1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. The Deeper christian life Bible Church, is synonymous with holy living and teaches members to be spiritually minded. Please let us stop dragging men of Gos into the murky waters of politics, let us allow them to do the work of the ministry and let us stop dictating what kind of sermon he should give from thier pulpit.

Revelation 8:4, And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel’s hand. [KJV]

There are different prayers that ascends before the throne of God , mixed with incense. As you are aware, every incense give out a sweet smelling aroma hence the title.What are the best prayers that God answers? There are two prayers that God desires and yearn to hear from us. God listens to all conversations and prayers, but not all prayers are answered. But to make this clearer, I have to go further. For what teacher ignores a question and feels at ease thereafter? I will make it as easy as possible, for the message of salvation must be simple enough, for all to comprehend. Let us go to the bible book of Genesis. After the fall of man in the garden of Eden, what God never intended started to happen. Death was introduced thus. There was a need for another Adam to rectify what Adam messed up. God , being the embodiment of holiness, can not accept man back with sin, that will compromise His holy nature. Noman, embraces a loving baby with feaces all over; he must first look for how to wipe the tiny tot clean. Read from 1 Corinthians 15:45, And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Jesus paid the price for man to reconnect to God and be re-admitted, reconciled into the family of God, this he accomplished in the cross with the final victorious words: John 19:30, When Jesus therefore, had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. Now, it is left for any man, no matter how far gone from God,or how he may have wallowed in sin and evil. He is forgiven when he repents and confesses Christ!. One of the best prayers that man can pray, therefore, is the prayer of repentance [penitence]Luke 15:7, I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. This prayer puts you back into God’s family where you can take advantage and enjoy all the blessings as a member of God’s family.1 Peter 2:9, But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

Next prayer with the best Aroma shall be discussed later.

Everyone has found a place to talk. Social media!. We have it all here. Some share personal opinions, while others try to educate and enlighten. Social media is a place where those who follow the some path are fed with a steady diet of lies and misinformation with the aim to discredit certain persons, institution, or country. But my concern here, is the weaponisation of it as a tool to cast aspersions and discredit the church, a campaign of calumny, against the church or a prominent persons of the christian faith. Many lacking common sense and self-control can be ” carefully groomed” to see nothing good in their church, or pastors in general. Those who advocates sanity are often villified and called unprintable names. Many traffic in negative news against pastors, churches and christian institutions and many who knows little to nothing about the christian faith, tell the unwary beleivers that contributing to the church financially makes them gullible and infact, these ones are only lining the pockets of the pastors, and ironically, these so-called unsolicited advocates make thier money by pushing this unbiblical doctrines on thier platforms. To sums it up, social media is mostly a hangout for lies, malice, bigotry, hatred and a dome to manipulate the inexperience and baby christian to take destructive hate against the church and see Christianity as a scam or a white man’s religion, [as if Judaism and the Muslim faith, are from Africa]. There are many blogs and news outlet whose modus operandi is to wallow, relish and cast clergymen in terrible light. You must develop a thick skin if you want to make a positive impact, defend your faith through your contributions on social media . Many times, the comment section is a place of sleeze, gutter language. The good the bad and the ugly, are found; comments that will make your stomach churn over; muds are thrown at parents, and insolence is serve on a platter for fathers and mothers and they curse the day you were born; It is indeed, a place where you expect the unsavoury. No one in the church herachy is spared, from the Usher to the Bishop. If you dare to point out their ignorance,and ungodly attitude they refuse to listen to commonsense.

But, here i want to address many christians who follows the crowd and have not dared to defend thier faith in their postings, contributions to discussions, and input in the commentary sections. Is it not a shame you call yourself a christian and do not have a picture of your pastor, or the name of your church?. it is ashame when you do not mention what the lord has done for you, or shows how proud you are to be a christian in your profile. How many visits christian blogs? How many follows a christian interactive section?How many paste the next international christian event on thier page? How many can mention up to ten names of known pastors like they can of musicians? How many supports, or like a christian comment on social media? The Bible commands us in the book of Deuteronomy 6:5, And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Let us show this love by loving, respecting and honoring all that stands for our God. we are different or rather, ought to differ from others this was the ways of life adopted by the early believers that earned them the name ‘CHRISTIANS’. See Acts 11:26, And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Caution: Jesus said, Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. I want to encounrage you to be proactive with your faith; declare it,proclaim it and live the life, to the admiration of others.

Laughing in Swahili... let us not come here and behave like our once respected Tai solarin; he flowed with the rumour that Maryam Babangida had stashed millions of dollars in America and the publication was on Ebony Magazine. he took to the street with the students. When confronted with prove it, he could not." As a youth na there the man first fall my hand", We just come here and say what we can not prove. This woman has challenged the almighty efcc let them prove it now she never die. The late Solarin kept saying that he heard people discussing the issue inside the bus and decided to call on the government to do something about it. But then he join the rioting student and was embarrassed when SSS tossed a copy of Ebony magazine at him to open the page? Our mentor no see page even john h jonson talk from America say dem no publish . dem no be news outlet.
All of una just dey here thief, u get prove?

The reports of some irregularities and violence in some polling units could not have affected the overall outcome of the elections too. There are 176,974 polling units in Nigeria and infractions and violence were recorded in less than one percent of these units. How could these have affected the overall results of the elections? Whilst we look forward to an era when there would be no single casualty during elections in Nigeria, however, the statistics show that 2023 recorded the lowest casualty rates ever. During the 1964/65 elections about 200 deaths were recorded as a result of election violence; 1993 election recorded 100 deaths; 1999 election recorded 80 deaths; 2003 polls recorded 100 deaths and 2007 polls recorded 300 deaths. The 2011 polls recorded 800 deaths, the 2015 polls recorded 100 deaths and the 2019 polls recorded 150 deaths. However, the 2023 polls recorded no more than 28 deaths as a result of election violence. So, the claim that this is the “worst” election so far is totally unfounded.
Very persuasive facts. Please let us be mature and face facts that will convince international bodies.
