felixomor: Then u may have to check your connection with the Holy Spirit. (Permit my language) U seem to be very concerned about vocabulary. Rather than the promptings of the Spirit.....
Yes the Spirit may sometimes prompt verbal repetitions from within.
Remember, Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. You haven't explained what Jesus actually meant still? What was Jesus trying to say? That's my question |

Thepasserby: You have already given yourself the answer. I just want you to know that the kingdom of God is built on principles. There is what I call consistency in the place of prayer.
Elijah after telling Ahab to o and wait for rain, went to the mountain top and prayed until there was a visible appearance of a cloud. It was not because he had little faith but the matter at hand required him to wait upon God.
The verse you quoted was spoken by Jesus yet he himself had to pray three times for the cup of suffering to pass over him. It is good to have faith but it is even better to pray until something happens. It's getting clearer small small  Thanks |

felixomor: There is difference between "vain' repetitions and persistence in prayer. One is show off, which the Pharisees were guilty of and some people still are guilty of. While the other comes from the state of your spirit.
The bible also mentions people who persisted in prayer.
It all depends on the motive of the human heart which Jesus sees. Okay So if I am praying and I start saying "Heavenly Father,bless me this year", and I repeat this line for the next 5 minutes, is it vain repetitions or persistence in prayer  |
Christianity Etc › What Is The Meaning Of This Bible Verse? by izzou(op): 11:31am On Mar 23, 2017 |
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speakingMatthew 6:7 (KJV) Personally, I think Jesus was trying to say we should have more faith in our prayers than words. But when I attend prayer meetings and a point is raised, after praying for like 8 minutes, the pastor will say something like "it's like you people don't understand the prayer point. Open your mouth and pray again"  I really want to hear other people's views about prayer pertaining to the quoted verse. Please cc:OAM4J |

I do have this wild imagination of climbing smaller vehicles or rolling over while driving an SUV. To me, they look (are) 'allergic' to dangerous handling...
Well, if someone buys for me_I'll collect.   Say after me Any spirit that always let me to like free things, I cast you out of my life. Out Outtttt Outtttttttttt Open your mouth and pray

Celebrities › Re: Apostle Suleman Saga: ‘if You Love Your Life, Leave Him Alone’ – Stephanie Otobo by izzou(m): 8:53pm On Mar 22, 2017*. Modified: 9:09pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
 Am very sure Apostle Paul and Peter of old may be ashamed with the type of Christianity we practise today. Our men of God are now celebrities,meddling themselves with politics and moving from one scandal to the other. We no longer hear of salvation anymore, but all they preach is financial breakthrough and shiit. Almost all of them are powerless, they only heal during their crusades or programmes. I remember in Acts where Paul rendered a man blind for doubting what the Holy Spirit can do. But today,our men of God prefer to sue and obtain billions. I am not defending Stephanie, but why is it only Apostle Suleiman that is being accused? He isnt the only person talking bad about this government. So why him? To the extent that more than three witnesses testified against him. It's time for Christians to rise up and pray to God to fish out fake prophets. Please I am not accusing the pastor. I just feel bad how Christianity is losing its ground because of issues like this |

Christianity Etc › Re: Crisis Of Faith...pls I Need Answers To Some Questions by izzou(m): 7:25pm On Mar 22, 2017 |
Let me answer the questions according to my knowledge
1: God has placed conditions for spending eternity with him. You shouldn't be bothered about why he put it there, but how you can make heaven
2: God is omniscient. He knows those who will make heaven or not. But man has the ability to choose. Man is a free moral agent
3: Earth would have been beautiful for us until Adam failed |

Nellybii: And what is the significance of the 1$ to naira? Can you explain further? All these learners on nairaland forming economic experts do you know that the exchange rate of Japanese Yen to Dollar is 112? Do you know that Japanese economy is the world's third largest economy by GDP and the world's 4th largest economy by purchasing power parity? Do you also know that Japan has less than 4% unemployment rate? It may interest you further that the average Japanese monthly wage is $8000. This means that the exchange rate to dollar does not actually determine how strong an economy is. Their are a lot of other indexes that matter too. Stop displaying your ignorance. But you cried when it was falling abi? Don't let people see this rubbish you wrote. Better edit it |

So so sad
That's how rural areas reason, not just the north but everywhere
They hardly think about safety. Imagine carrying liters of fuel with humans too.
It's unfortunate our FRSC prefer to disturb us more in Lagos and cities,forgetting that those in rural areas need their enlightenment
The government should fix our roads too |
Car Talk › Re: Innoson Motors To Establish World Class Manufacturing Plant In Uyo by izzou(m): 9:53am On Mar 22, 2017 |
Benekruku: You do have a point though. It's not expensive for a brand new car compared to prices of its competitors. What Inosson does not have is the strategy. People don't see or know it's product. People re not yet convinced about its reliability and safety. He needs a lot to prove and I doubt if that can be done from a distance considering the fact that he is still yet to break into the market. I understand your point from the beginning. But all he needs is gross marketing and standard products. Having the plant anywhere wouldn't be an issue Remember this is business too. He needs incentives and favors and other states farther from lagos will give him that. Nigerian breweries took their largest plant to Enugu because of favors and incentives too. It hasn't stopped them from making large sales |

Jesus has made it compulsory for us to serve God too in Matthew 28:19-20 We all can be intercessors and stand in the gap for people. It is you who don't understand my point. |

John the Baptist and Samson were both dedicated to the service of God im different ways. This man only allow bittherness to drive him to that extreme foolish act. He's responsible for his actions.

DeRay98: Prophet Samuel was dedicated to the synagogue in days of Prophet Eli to serve as. He too was given to the service of God by his mom because God heard her prayers after years of barreness. Go and read the books of 1st&2nd Chronicles and 1st &2nd Samuel. I wasn't dedicated to the church but I didn't think of killing people there His own first fruit is a rotten one. And besides, Jesus Christ has given us all the mandate in Matthew 28:19-20 |
