One of the things that differentiates God from humans is that God does not take the place of man to show that he (God) can do all things. He does not interfere in what is within human capacities.

God can but does not interfere in how humans use their potentials. He allows us to make our choices and face the consequences of the choices.

He gave us brains to produce and wear life jackets but most of us choose to abandon the jackets and disturb God to keep us afloat water. He can keep us afloat but will not do it.

We always shout, "Do your best and leave the rest to God". But we don't even accomplish our good talk more of doing our best.

But OP, I disagree with your claim that the guy died because he was first taken to a herbalist. He actually died in the water. Didn't you hear that they suspected a movement of his finger and thought he was alive? Did anyone tell you that he breathed or spoke after being removed from the water? He was not even the first victim removed from the water. The first guy removed from the water died in the water. So, how could Junior Pope be removed rescued alive when another guy rescued before him died in the water?

This os just bullshit. Its clearly written in the Bible that Yahweh answers prayers when called upon. Now that he's sleeping as usual, u r now defending him. So what about christians that pray before embarking on journeys where there is armed robbers? Why bother? Isn't it government that provides security? Why ask Yahweh?
Christianity is only for the low IQ folks

LordReed:
LoLz! You were right he was just up to his usual lying for his beliefs. He is probably one of the most despicable people in this section.

Dliespeaker is too toxic for religion section. They had to ban his moniker, now he is using one of his alts and still spewing lies and hate

Veecruz:
The topic is not Tizizi and no one asked for your Tizizi but everyone knows man and spirit.

So if you truly believe your atheism is right, publicly stand and speak the words denying that men, do not know that they have a none physical and invisible side of him.

Otherwise, it is settled that you atheists are Lying Spineless Cowards who stand fot nothing, Not even on atheism.

So, which dodging are you going.to use now for you have just finished using pretence of lack of unserstanding and it did not work Hahahahaha

So, what is the new dodging?

Dodging united, united una dodge! hehehehehehehe

No. Tizizi is the topic. Its what u can't see and feel

Dliespeaker, have u skipped ur meds again?

When She Wants To Talk To You About Everything Else But Jesus

Ever met any girl who wants to chat pretty much about everything else with you but not about Jesus?

I have met quite a few.

Once was while I was traveling from Abuja to Port Harcourt in bus, and found myself on the last seat in the bus sitting right next to a young lady.

As expected, we chatted along the way and at some point even started singing Gospel songs together.

I could vividly remember when she corrected me while we were singing a popular Christian song, "Be magnified". She said it was I was not getting the lyrics right, and i was quite surprised because I've been proudly singing it that way since thinking it was correct prior to that, but she was the one that corrected me with confirmation online that she was right while I was wrong.

I appreciated her for that correction and things seemed to be going well between us until I took it to the next level as typical of me, and started preaching to her about Jesus, that it's important though not just to sing such songs about Him with our mouths but also really mean it from our hearts.

That was it and the same girl that was so passionately singing "be magnified oh Lord" and even corrected me when I got the lyrics wrong suddenly switched to silent mode.

She that was facing me prior to that but after I just said that, she immediately adjusted her body and started facing front.

I was wondering what I had done wrong or said that made her suddenly stop talking to me.

That was how it was until until we arrived at the bus terminal in Port Harcourt.

She refused to talk to me again in the bus just because I started preaching to her about Jesus.

God bless.

Imagine a Muslim stranger meets you and starts preaching the koran to u, forcing u to acquiesce that Allah is the greatest.
Yeah think about it

Son of Lucifer, The Liar himself see it

Confession!!! We Atheits Work For Satan by HardMirror(m): 6:34pm On Jan 19, 2016
Yes!
I am an atheits. Don't get deceived. We know what we are doing.
We are just trying to mislead people.
Many of us are possessed by the spirit of rebellion from our master lucifer.

Christains that are steadfast and have the Holy Spirit can see into our lies and see satan using us.

Where did he state this? Nairaland? Vocally?

Veecruz:
You and many atheists kill people as your atheist brother Hardmirror confessed.

Dliespeaker can u show me where Hardmirror confessed?

Same to you.

FxMasterz:
Blind and deaf atheists like lordreed, maynman, francistown, hopefullandlord and jaephoenix would say the accounts on this thread are false narratives. I shake my head for these people.

I have a strong aversion towards voodoo but I have witnessed a spectacle where a man performed live juju in my presence. He bought 6 uncooked eggs from a hawker, made some incantations and afterwards broke the eggs to remove ear rings from inside the eggs. I witnessed it live.

I have met a man who had a dream where he saw a cat pursuing a mouse while he slept on a bed in an unceiled house. As the cat was pursuing the rat, the rat, a very big one slipped off the roof and landed on one of his ears. He woke up deaf from that day onwards. I also witnessed the healing and restoration of that man's ears through prayers.

I have met an Igbo man whose mother told me he ran mad 3 days after he was shot in a dream.

I have lodged a friend in my house in the year 2000. We slept in the same room, and this friend of mine woke up to see his palms bleeding profusely from razor cuts. Interestingly, he told me it wasn't his first experience.

In 1992, I had a friend who converted from Islam to Christianity. A son of the then sultan of Sokoto. The name of the guy was Mohammed. He told me about how Muslims used to fortify themselves before embarking on each of the religious riots that killed many Christians in the north in those days. He asked me to bring him a knife from my kitchen which I did, not knowing what he wanted to use the knife for. He then asked me to cut any part of his body with the knife, I refused. He collected the sharp knife from me and started cutting himself with it. To my utter amazement, the knife didn't penetrate.

I can recount a great deal of spiritual experiences I have had. Anyone who says the spirit realm does not exist is blind and deaf.

There are powers in the world. But Jesus alone has the Super Power. He can heal. He can deliver. He can save. When Jesus saves you, no Satan can snatch you from His hands.

Did you take a video of the guy cutting himself up without bleeding? That woulda helped us believe your fairy tales. The other stories u talked about are hearsays. I can equally tell you I have wings and I fly. Would u believe me?

How would you feel as an atheist at the point of death knowing fully well that life is full of unintentional mistakes, and your believes in the nonexistent of God could also end up being a mistake ; a mistake you would forever regret if it be so ?

How would you feel as a Christian at the point of death knowing fully well that your life was full of mistakes, and your believes in Jesus could also end up being a mistake, and you're facing Flying Spaghetti Monster , the one true god; a mistake you would forever regret if it be so ?

Great.

In all the Binance and crypto wahala in Nigeria, I have learnt one important lesson.

If Nigeria ever goes to war, some Nigerians will never support Nigeria. They'd rather support foreigners and jubilate if Nigeria collapses.

Imagine the attack on the presidency and CBN when CBN went after Binance.

Imagine the attack on Nigeria when the Binance executive escaped.

We must always unite in defense of our country.

Check the American media whether anyone would support Sam Bankman-Fried. You won't find any. But Nigeria?

Why are we always our own enemies?

Its because your country was using Binance as a scapegoat when they are actually the culprit.
They have been printing bills and racking up inflation and now they decided to blame binance. Binance has been in existence since 2017 with Nigerians doing p2p since 5 years even when Bubu was there, yet no currency manipulations was reported.
The NGN has regained some steps for some weeks now because they have pumped USD into it and stopped floating the NGN, which was the reason the useless currency was tanking, along with the fact that we aint an export based economy. In fact the only things we export worldwide are criminals and churches.
Remember they have been accusing binance is laundering money and manipulating the currency, which haven't been proven. Now they have decided to use the tax evation excuse. Was Binance a registered entity in Nigeria? No. Are crypto transactions allowed to flow through Nigerian banks? No. So how in the good fvck are they supposed to pay tax to a country their business is prohibited? Which banks/institutions would they go through? Binance was also accused of not registering in Nigeria? Like seriously? Crypto transactions are banned. Even Binance IP (and their cexes IP) is restricted, so how can Nigerians do business(legally) on it? Its like completely blocking a business and expecting the business to register and pay tax.
They will pay in the jurisdiction in which they were registered as a company.
Remember some weeks ago when they said that they had imposed a $10 billion fine on Binance, only for them to chicken out and deny it after the world started laughing at them?
Binance operates as a decentralized organization that doesn't require a registered bank or postal address. For example, former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has compared Binance to Bitcoin, which also doesn't have a physical office.

You will have to mention what aspect of your outdated Company Income Tax Act (CITA) allows the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) to collect tax on the virtual international trading of crypto currency pairs on a platform.

You must think its funny. With how much he probably knows, he is not even safe outside as fugitive. UK will not ignore a red notice. Don't try it o

This guy sometimes I wonder what they feed you guys. Who is going to issue the Red Notice? U, Tinubu or Interpol? U think Interpol would just issue the notice on a kidnapped man that has not been convicted of a crime? Get a brain u Bulablu lackey

Embattled billionaire and founder of Binance, Changpeng Zhao’s, net worth has recorded gains of up to $8.42 billion, pushing his total wealth to nearly $50 billion, driving his year-to-date gains up by $13.9 billion.

Zhao’s net worth soared from $39.9 billion to $48.3 billion as the share price of Binance rose from $549.19 on March 22, 2024, to $554.30 as of Monday morning, March 25, 2024, according to data from the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.

The bulk of Zhao’s fortune is attributed to his controlling stake in Binance, which is recognized as the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, boasting over 150 million users as of August 2023.

Binance’s revenue of $9.8 billion is derived from the average of the company’s trailing 12-month spot and derivative trading volumes through March 2024, as monitored by research services Coingecko.com and CCData. Additionally, the average transaction fees disclosed on Binance’s website, separately calculated for spot and derivative volumes, contribute to this substantial revenue figure.

The updated revenue figure in March 2024 resulted in a net worth gain of approximately $11 billion for Zhao, reflecting the significant growth trajectory of Binance and its founder’s wealth amid the evolving ecosystem of the cryptocurrency market

Where is Pastor Chris when u need him

That is what FALSE RELIGION taught you God never promised His worshipers instant health care now in His word He said the HERBS He created in the fields are for our sound health! Psalms 104:14

He promised a time when He will forgive all our sins it's then that sicknesses resulting from mankind's disobedience will disappear for good not now.

Meanwhile He often cure some of His worshipers miraculously because of the work they are doing which may stop due to poor health condition but he never promised to always do such.

That's the truth!

The herbs are not enough to cure disease. I have told you that, u dis illiterate

Some halfwits are here arguing about insertion of additional line of items in the budget while the real issues is that these additions are nothing but a conduit to embezzle public funds.

When will Nigerians learn to tackle real issues and not get caught up in sentiments.

I have the educational system to blame.

Dont blame the educational system. We all had that fvcked up education but some of us who know these sinators are corrupt, came from the same education

Jewessgratitud3:
Hey!!! God God God!!!.. you ate an owl too? Ha!

See people don't know the implication of some of the things they do. In future when you start giving birth to strange looking children you won't know it's as a result of some extreme things you did or awkward meals you ate.

Who eats owl? How many meat dey this thing now? Anyways most people on nairaland are not human beings.

Jehovah!

Ladies beware. Before you date or marry any nairalander jukwa ajuju, ask questions because majority of the men here dey eat ajor food.

The more religious one gets, the more ignorant they become. You're a prime example, my good lady. Educate yourself, at least for your children

SenecaTheYonger:
It serves you guys right. You had a little bit of control over the exchange rate so you kept increasing it by 99naira everyday just to make small profit. At the expense of 199 million Nigerians.

USDT is not scarce. I’ve never in my life heard of scarcity of USDT. So why did the price keep increasing?

You use Naira to buy USDT. You can never use dollar to buy USDT in Nigeria.

Since the clamp down on Binance, Naira has gone from 1k7 to 1k5 and it’s been hovering about 1k5 since that time. Seriously, what were you guys doing at Binance?

Both Naira and USDT are not scarce, so why the outrageous increase everyday?

Your ignorance is amazing.
USDT is pegged to USD. So if USD rises, it rises. Same if it falls. USDT doesnt need to be scarce

David0002:
My flight to a “new life”

Directs the young boy on the path he must follow; even when he is old he will not deviate from it. »Prov. 22: 6 This is an account of the works of God, of His mighty, wonderful, and mysterious works. I do this to obey the command Jesus Christ gave me: “Go and bear testimony of what I have done for you.” It is generally believed that unhappiness is an act of fate, and that there is nothing we can do to change the events of our life. This is true to some extent. But in the case of a child of God, there is a plan for his life (Prov. 16: 9). The realization of this plan depends on a number of factors: our intimacy with God, our idea of ​​the ultimate goal of life, and the

There are a number of external factors that attempt to influence the course of your life. Crisis occurs when you surrender your will to either good or bad. It is possible for you to love or hate.

You may wish to understand or not understand. The will to obey is the greatest strength of a born-again Christian, while the will to disobey is the most destructive force of a sinner.
When a child is left alone in the world, he is controlled by one of these two powers: good or bad, good or bad. It’s God or the devil. Everyone is faced with these two powers in life, and everyone has to choose the life they should lead. I believe that’s why the Bible says, “Guide the boy on the way he should go; even when he is old he will not deviate from it. You will agree that the dearest and closest person to a child’s heart is its mother. An orphan is an unfortunate child, much more exposed to the attacks of the devil than a child who has his parents. A mother ensures the “protection” of body and soul, but it is a double tragedy when a child loses both parents.

My story begins 22 years ago in a small village called Amerie Iriegbu Osu Item, dependent on the region of Bende, which is under the authority of the local government, in Imo State.

My parents were not among the rich, but my father had the privilege of inheriting 42 hectares of land from my grandfather, a blessing that resulted in the greatest misfortune ever recorded in the history of the family.

My father was very jealous of his family near and far, for reasons unknown to me, perhaps because of his significant inheritance of land. We were a happy family. My parents had four children: Love, Margaret, Emmanuel and Chinyere. After having their first two daughters, my parents waited fourteen years before having me (their only son) and having, later, my little sister Chinyere. This had allowed my family to taste real happiness.

But this happiness was short-lived, for the first tragedy occurred. My mother, full of love and tenderness, died. They say it was witchcraft that caused her to die. Four years later, it was my father who died. In his case, too, his death was attributed to an evil spell that had been cast on him. Two years after the death of my parents, Love, my older sister, mysteriously disappeared and Margaret, my parents’ second daughter, went mad. It was a whole chain of tragedy in the life of a humble family, until then happy. My little sister Chinyere and I were sent to our grandparents. It was then that I finished elementary school and was admitted to Item College. I spent three years there, but I had to stop my studies for lack of money to pay school fees.

Soon after, my grandparents also died. After all the funeral ceremonies, an unknown “relative” took with him my little sister Chinyere, whom I never heard from again.

Subjected to terrible mistreatment, I was forced to return to my father’s house, to live there alone, aged 13. How can a 13-year-old live among his father’s enemies, who are therefore also his enemies? How distressed I was! All of these events seemed to have brought me to the end of a life that was no longer worth living. Was there anyone to care about me? Was there anyone who cared about a little boy’s misfortunes?

One day I met a friend I had known in elementary school. His name was Chinedum Onwukwe. Chinedum loved me very much. He had heard of all the misfortunes that had happened to me. He introduced me to his parents, who welcomed me wholeheartedly and adopted me as their second son. Life became normal again. They took good care of me. I was happy again. I knew then that the God my mother prayed to when she was alive existed somewhere, since He had given me new parents. At least that’s what I thought. I experienced this happiness for almost two years. Then the devil knocked again.

Chinedum and his parents made a trip to Umahia, and their car crashed into a truck carrying dirt. Chinedum and his parents were killed instantly!

Upon hearing this news, I passed out. You cannot imagine my grief. I managed to survive the funeral ceremony, shopping and providing firewood for those who cooked. Then I returned to my father’s house, doing the chores of a servant so that I could feed myself.

I continued to do odd jobs on the farm, in the gardens, going fishing with the elders, until one day a man from my neighborhood hired me to work on his farm, for a pittance. He asked me a whole series of questions. First, he asked me to show him my father’s land. Then he offered to give him part of the land. Then he told me that the wages for the work I would do for him would consist of a meal in the evening in his house. But how could a fifteen year old boy know his father’s land? Then, what right could a boy of that age have to give this land to someone, even if he was a close relative? I refused his requests, which angered him. He swore he was going to kill me in the forest. I got scared, I got fled and I cried for help. Unfortunately, no one came, because we were in a remote place, in the middle of the forest, but it was God who helped me. The man chased me with his knife, but I was younger. I was too fast for him. I fell into a ditch about six feet deep, and the grass covered me.

He looked for me, then gave up after a while. Later, I got out of the ditch and returned to the village by another path. I told what had happened to the elders in the neighborhood but nothing was done. This is the sad condition of orphans. This event had created a real hatred in my young heart; nobody loved me, nobody cared about me. I wondered why they wanted to kill me, when they knew that I no longer had parents. My life was filled with suffering. I know now that it was God, in His love, who stopped the devil from suggesting that I kill myself.

I turned to the Church, and I became a full member of the Assembly of God in my village. I still am. Unfortunately, no one took care of me.

Yet some members of the church knew me. It is important to note that I became a full member of this church, without even knowing Jesus Christ. I never knew what it meant to be born again . If you’re in the church of Jesus Christ, where I was myself, give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Scripture says, “Cast all your worries on him, for he cares for you. »(1 Peter 5: 7 – The current French Bible). It was in the midst of all these trials and sufferings that ALICE made her appearance! Alice was a young girl I had known in elementary school.

She was five years older than me and came from the same village. We were in the same class, sitting on the same bench, and we became very friends.

During these childhood “loves”, we promised ourselves to “get married” when we grew up. It was ridiculous! An 11-year-old child, without parents or education, who had no food to eat, and who made a promise of marriage to a girl five years her senior! Later, Alice went to Akure to do her high school education, and sent me dozens of “love” letters.
When I saw Alice again, I was fifteen and she was twenty. She had finished high school and worked at Standard Bank (now called First Bank) in Lagos, where her parents lived.

Alice, who had learned what had happened to me and who knew my condition, took advantage. She persuaded me to join her in Lagos, and gave me her address, with a sum of 50 naira!

(National currency of Nigeria, N.E.) It was a fortune for a fifteen year old boy who had never earned more than two naira a day. It was a heavenly manna. This meant that Lagos had to be a wonderful place, where money was plentiful, and where everyone could enjoy the finer things in life. I then decided that I had to go to Lagos to earn my own money and also to acquire wealth.

For me, going to Lagos was the only way to escape. Run away from my father’s enemies, from hunger and all the troubles. to run away ! to run away ! Yes, run away from all that was bad!

To be continued

Read this book as a kid. Looking at it now I laugh at my stupidity believing such fairy tales. The man has been caught as a scammer

Britishpea:
You are a liar. Binance withdrew from Canada since last year because of the regulatory rule melted on them. The rule was to prevent laundering. Binance doesn’t exist in China.

Nigeria can also have a regulated exchange market on crytp and the likes but banning the Binance is a first step. Naira was falling everyday, seriously and waiting for a week further to take actions will sink the economy into a comatose.

Stop being an anus about the country always reason with your brain. God didn’t give it to you to think like an ant.

Read what I said. I never explicitly say Binance is in Canada. I said its in the US. Besides there are other big exchanges in Canada like Coinbase

See who is calling someone mad
You don't even know what faith is

A poor man can have faith that he's a millionaire only when he receives a cheque of such money and he's not seen such money but that cheque is the evidence of faith
If someone were to give someone in your family such cheque and he happily comes to show you, you will call him a mad man since he's not seen such money
Your head de hot

Faith is evidence of something NOT SEEN. You need to read your babble

PoliteActivist:
**( I was banned for 24hrs right after that my response to JessiaRabbit few hours ago, and the response was deleted. I just checked only to find out I HAVE BEEN MYSTERIOUSLY UNBANNED AND THE POST RESTORED!!! Since it seems the madness has ended, here's the half post. Following this, I'll post the rest of it if not banned):

Consider: more than 95% of our universe is made up of dark matter/dark energy, yet we don't know what it is. We know it is there but we don't have the foggiest idea what it is!
Consider: scientists have determined there are at least 10 dimensions, and possibly up to a thousand. Yet we can perceive only 4. FOUR!
Consider: our earth is is so infinitestimally small compared to the observable universe you can almost say it doesn't exist (on a universe scale, you can't see the earth even with the strogest microscope). Yet the observable universe is only one 64 millionth of the estimated size of our universe. Then there is the multiverse theory - there could be unlimited number of universes!
Compound all that with the fact that: limitations and manipulations could have been built into our perception of reality such that we only perceive what "they" want us to perceive. Scientists have no way of knowing what is really there!
Add to all that, brains and circumstances could be being manipulated on a day-to-day ongoing basis, while studies and observations are being done (we still don't know how or where our dreams come from!).

Add all that up and you'll realize, when Einstein and other geniuses said they knew nothing, maybe they were not as stupid as you think!

Whats the source of all these claims?

Jackanda1:
God gives to a born again person what is called 'Tender conscience' powered by the SPIRIT.

To former christians now atheist. Remember when you were in christ and commited sin, you felt so much guilt and dirt, even something seemingly tiny like lusting after the opposite sex or telling white lies gave you so much discomfort that you had to kneel down,confess and repent.

Remember when you were able to believe and accept all the messges given by your preacher.

You had much confidence when you read the bible or prayed.

You had a fear of GOD and a desire to follow Him with so much joy.

All of these is as a result of this 'Tender conscience'.

When you start paying attention to atheism, you start drifting away from the SPIRIT of GOD, making it hard for Him to speak to you.

Most people believe in GOD but, the real children of God are those whom the Holyspirit speak to their conscience.

When you see yourself sinning and blaspheming God with no fear and guilt, you have seared your conscience(1timothy4:2-5).

Are you aware many Christians are more criminal and sinful than some atheists. Whats your explanation
