When God said leadership spearheaded by humans alone cannot work, I believe him. It has never worked. Instead of looking unto God for help, you keep looking inwards to unveiling your filth. You had better get down on your knees and plead for mercy and forgiveness instead of hoping on unfound better leader who is out to orchestrate your doom. The filth has eaten so deep into your fabrics that you can no longer see wickedness in evil. God is angry, who can escape? Light shineth in darkness and darkness cannot comprehend it.

Pray for mercy and stop celebrating folly, poking out your pride and ego in the name of bravado. Save yourself from the doomsday

Be reading fake thwarted news and be having hope where there is none.

Soldiers ran and you say it's cowardice. If they come back reinforced will you stand them? Can you stand airstrike? All your brothers economy you are waisting, how does that hurt an ant in sambisa?

They crushed you before now and are dehumanizing you at will because you chose a path of folly and yet you boast. They gave you gun to kill yourself and you begin to fire and you think that is the right thing. Sons of viper!

You took to self-destruction and want sane people to applaud you. Now I know why you were crushed and still being crushed.
The educated ones are also cheering wickedness and think that's the right thing to do. The same wickedness you uphold will crush you and wiped you off the path so that sane one will live. If you are caused to be fools, get back on your knees ask God for mercy instead of celebrating folly at will.
If you know where your enemy is, look for him and settle the scores instead of living under cause and think you are live.

God have mercy on you. Whoever is not that chosen list is doomed. May early reawakening hit your skull contents

Suleiman is a man. God is God. If he has asked God for forgiveness, God has done it (assuming he did exactly what you said). You don't need to waist a man's image in the public domain, it does you no good. If you committed adultery, stop doing that, beg God for forgiveness and continue your life. Work hard to get money. If He is on God side now and you do this, God will not be happy with you either.

Thanks.

God's temple is you and I.

In the old testament, people look at building.
The church is you and I and not any edifice towering to sky.

Bible says he that giveth to the poor giveth to God.

The phrase is Give and you shall receive. Wether you give tithe, offering, your efforts or material things.

You can give in the church or outside the church.

We should stop being legalistic. Thanks.

If I tell you, rain will fall tomorrow, and it falls, am I a prophet or a seer. A Prophet speaks the word of God.

A timely message. But it isn't a ticket to indulge in bad habits.

Ask God for help sincerely to break bad habits, it works. Many pastors, including overseers, no longer preach the word of salvation. They preach only 7 formula to get wealth. You will get the wealth and wallow in fire.

The word of God is not as simple as it sounds. It isn't as physical as you see it. Most of the things you are expecting to happen have been described in the old testament. You will know that it is the mark before receiving it. It is not forced upon you. Be wary of distractions. Even Satan is confused.
Upon the rock of revelation will I build my church and gates of hell will not prevail.


When you insist you must do the wrong thing, you are on the way to receiving the mark.

Good day.

The Bible is not so literal but full of symbols. We need to understand God's vocabulary and then work therewith.

It's not an academic exercise or a figment of our imaginations.


The spirit of God departed in the garden of Eden and Adam died then although he was still living physically. He was dead spiritually and so are all his descendants.

So all man have sinned and fall short of His Glory ( lost God spirit in them)

Upon this Rock (revelation of the meaning of God's word) shall I build my church and the gates of hell ( false prophets) shall not prevail

Understand these Sir/ma;
Water = word of God by which all things were created
See or hear = understand

Let him that have ear (understanding), let him hear (understand) what the spirit is saying.

John 3:3
Except a man be born again ( be filled with the departed spirit in Eden,) he can't see(understand) the kingdom of God.

John3:5 is a further explanation of verse 3.

Except a man be born( filled) with water(undiluted word of God), and spirit( Holy spirit) he cannot enter the kingdom of God( reign with God or exercise God's power as a prince). We are his temple; He wants to dwell in us. The full Godhead dwelled in a special human flesh (Jesus)

Water baptism is a symbol of the word of God.
It should be a Total immersion; deeply filled or soaked in it and not sprinkling of the word. The word you read and understand or hear and understand makes you clean John 15:3

To be born again means to be filled with God's spirit and his word

Acting on these words following promptings from the Holy spirit gives you the full birth and eternal life. If you don't believe in the word (Jesus) as prompted by the Holy spirit, no eternal life.
John 17;3

The evidence of these continued obedience are the fruits: love joy, patience, endurance etc. Jesus said Bear fruits and let your fruits abide. You may decide to bring in your own will and then you may sin. You are grieving the Holy spirit and he may remain quiet in you if you continue to resist his holy life promptings. He will tell you shall you continue in Sin and let grace abound? For he that is born (filled) of the spirit should not try to commit sin, It grieves Him.

Some 'non-christians' that heared the word from wherever place and believe them could also attract the Holy spirit.

Receiving the Holy spirit; principles
1. Hear the word, repent, water baptism, Holy spirit baptism Act 2: 37, 38

2. Hear the word, repent, receive Holy spirit baptism, water baptism (word) follows. Remember Cornelius and family heard the word, repented and received Holy spirit first. Later they were baptized with water. Act 10:44 ;water symbolizes God's word.

You don't have to believe these. It is the spirit of God that can only convince you. For no man cometh to me except my father draws him. The Holy ghost the comforter shall lead you to all truth.

Do you have a besetting sin? It can be overcome. Just follow Holy spirit promptings.

No matter how good or self righteous you are, if arrogance/pride of life deter you from looking up to God for help, you can't receive the Holy spirit guidance. For all your righteousness is like a filthy rag.

Let us humble ourselves before God and He shall come in and we will reign with him in His kingdom.

Thanks.

The Bible is written or spoken in allegories and most things you read are not as literal as they mean. The Bible says Jesus will speak in parables. To you ( true believers), understanding is given. To them ( unbelievers), they won't understand. It pleases the Lord so.

You need God Himself to tell you what they mean. You learn to listen to the holy spirit.

The Academic gurus brainstorm and attach whatever meaning that caught their fancy when they read the scriptures. Some of those books you read too are mere figments of man's imagination and uninspired. Sometimes, it is mixed with real truth though.


Our earthly knowledge and understanding of affairs is a great barrier to Faith.

Upon this Rock (personal revelation of the meaning of God's word) shall I build my church (the real true believers), and the gates of hell ( false preachers/interpreters/ prophets/pastors) shall not prevail. Pastors have misinterpreted the rock to mean Peter.

Another snag is the issue of anointing.
Anointing doesn't take us to heaven. Many anointed ministers working miracles through God's power will still go to hell if they refuse to obey the holy spirit.

The gifts of God is without repentance. People now sell the anointing for money. That's not the original purpose.

Satan had great anointing from God yet rejected. He can still work miracles!

Anointing for miracles is a bait that attract fishes( people) to hear the real word of God and repent and do God's will.
Follow me, I will make you fishers of men
People are no longer after the word but anointing. That's really funny!

If someone else that knows tells you what each word or passage mean you will not still believe until the spirit gives you personal understanding. This is why alone with God is necessary.


Speaking in tongues is just one of the numerous evidences of the presence of Holy Spirit. These signs shall follow them that believe, speaking with new tongues, deliverance from evil, healing, taken up deadly thing/serpent and not be hurt.

Some people spoke in tongues these days and are not inspired by Holy spirit.

Some pastors heal and prophecy and yet don't speak in tongues.

It is not everyone that has the gift of healing.

You can have the holy spirit and yet not speak in tongues. Many of Nigerian general overseers does not buy this concept and so are their members but very true.

The principle of repentance, baptism of water and baptism of Holy ghost is very valid in that order.

The Principle of repentance, baptism of Holy spirit, water baptism is also valid. Each of the elements is deep and not academic. The common denominator and prerequisite is repentance.

For you to have the desire to have the holy Spirit, you probably may have it already. You need more infilling most likely for experiential effect. No man can come to me except my father draws him. The Holy spirit will lead you to all truth. If otherwise, follow the principle. It doesn't require much of your effort. It's a free gift. You don't need to shout or fast too much just have a clear heart ready to follow His promptings. The more you follow righteous promptings the better. Otherwise you will be grieving Him and He may just be quiet all the while.

The Bible is symbolic. You can also ride on the shoulders of spirit filled men to understand some things.

Thanks.

This kind of talk should not be coming from pastor.

tunmiluabi:
My story is quite long, please run through with patience.

I married my wife about 11 years ago. By the way I am 46 years old. Before I married my wife, I was not doing well neither was my wife. She was working with a multinational company, earning an equivalent of N40,000. I had a small graphic design business after trying many times to find a good job. I looked for jobs and contracts without any respite. But At this this time, my wife's support was good and I did appreciate every bit of it. At lest we survived on the low...

As time went on, I got a job in one international corporate training company as a Statistics and Business Analysis Instructor, was earning about 90,000 naira. During the times before I got my job, we had accumulated debt and my new job provided us an opportunity to pay them up.

We decided we were going to save part of her salary every month for servicing the debt and save the rest for a rainy day. I was supposed to pay the rent and all other domestic bills, light, kids school fees etc.. Some time she helped with food/groceries. After sometime, she advised we move to a bigger apartment. We still had a daughter by then. I obliged and we did.

To cut the story short, after four years of working, the company folded up because of government policies and we were all laid off. This meant we had to prepare for the hard life ahead. It was hectic and devastating. Me being me, I took it with all sense of grace and hope things will be fine. But the more I thought about this the worse things got. One day out of curiosity I asked my wife if it would be nice to have another child and she advised it was not the best time. I understood and agreed. I then advised my wife if we could start a business and with some savings we had, maybe I could use it to enhance my former business, maybe things might be better this time. She did not show any interest. This time I discovered changes in my wife.

One day she asked me if she could use part of them money to do a course, honestly I was shocked but asked why she did not oblige to my own request. She said "its my money I can use it for whatever I want". My wife however did the course.

To cut the story short, 3 years down the line, my wife stopped having sex with me and this continued for a long time. I became like "shit in her eyes". I lost a bit of confidence though. she would wake me with insults and barrage of dirty words. Because of our child, I agreed to stay a home and try to work online and seek clients and jobs from old client. It was not bad but not promising.

Fortunately for us, my wife got a promotion and her salary was increased to about 170,000. This actually brought out the worst in my wife. Her calmness disappeared and all decorum was buried. We would quarrel everyday and not talk for weeks. She became really mean and controlled everything at home. Please note, she is not a bad woman but can't explain the reasons up till date. I was with no option but to query her sincerity as a wife and that continued for a long time. Our sex life became zero, she would tell me having sex would make her pregnant and was not ready for a second child. Her stories kept on changing and became even worse, rather than coming home she would pass by her mom and be there till late in the night before coming home.

After about 3 years of trying to get something to do, I finally got a place on the island sometime in February 2018, where I would be paid a stipend of 50,000. In addition, I would use my free time to design, print and sell business cards to small companies. The overall income was small but enough for some immediate obligations at home. But to be fair, that was the best I could get since I have not had money in a long time. Unfortunately my wages were not consistent due to challenges the company was facing. But I used the Business card printing to augment wherever possible.

Later in 2018 around September, I discovered that my wife had been having an illicit engagement. She had a male fried and I finally got to know about it and confronted her. She did not deny it, she begged and I forgave her. Anyway, I had made up my mind to forgive because of the kid and I never told anyone till date. Moreover, since we were not making love that was of course enough reason for the drastic measure, I told myself. To be sincere I had lost feeling for my wife and sex was difficult. We finally started having sex but I had little to offer her. I would pretend and even have to watch Indecency to be able to have sex with her. I was dead inside. At least my wife was still with me. That was my solace. I guess trust was broken. She however continued with her escapades. The quarrels increased and got worse. There and then name calling became our breakfast and dinner. She advised that since I would never look at her the same and bringing little or nothing to the table that I was free to go. The quarrels went on for quite some time, my wife will go very violent on me some of the times. I am marshal artist with black belt and I have great restraint - for me, fighting and going violent on her was never on the table. One day I thought there was a need to move out and I did indicated to her that I was not comfortable living with her anymore.. That wherever I am, I will see how I can take care of the kids.

She did not care and things became difficult for me. I felt maybe I could stay for sometime, It might be a difficult condition but still not impossible. This became my Achilles heels. There and then I knew my relationship had broken and irreparable. I accepted there was nothing I could, but to be patient and tried to convince myself about our situations and believed our situation was bad, but God’s willing we would overcome. The fight even got worse and became very violent and physical, I would normally just take the beating or hold her hands to avoid any injuries.

The quarrels was beginning to be in the glare of my Kids and since it was not abating, there was little I could do to change the situation. I finally made up my mind on the 19th of May 2019 to move out, but actually moved out on the 30th of May, 2019. Before then on the 26th of May, 2019, I discovered my wife was again engaging in the illicit affair. She would claim she was going to church only to be found at a different location. Honestly I can’t blame her, I blame myself and the situation that caused the demise of our once cherished marriage. At this point in time I realised I had lost and had no fight in me anymore. My kids are still very young. Everyday quarrels, lack of sincere engagement, denials upon denials and her fear of facing her “DEMON” with little chance of her understanding the consequence of her actions - I was left with no choice but to stop FIGHTING. I had no fight left in me. The ultimate decision was to leave. I did not inform her parent about the issue because I had indicated to her I did not want them to look at her differently.

God so good, I got a 500,000 Naira job through a friend in an oil company with a 3bedroon in Lekki fully paid up for 3years by the company. By the way, I am Data Analyst but never practiced for a long time. I studied Computer engineering but for a long time grace did not smile on me. I take care of my kid and I really don't hate her and I am at peace with everything. She still has her job and doing well.

Please note that she did not tell me to leave, I left on my own volition. I could not share the same bed with my wife anymore she apparently could not muster enough strength to stop all iniquities for a conversation that will help see things through. Rather she is turning to blame it on me. We have however resolved to part on a friendly note for the sake of our child.

My reason for posting this is because most us sit behind the desk and computers and do not understood the demons everyone is battling. On a bad day, the best husbands are MONSTER, while the best wives are DEVILS. When we make judgment as males or female. We should not forget about our female child/children, same goes for the male child. I don't know what my wife tells people about what happened but I really don't care and I have made up my mind never to defend myself.

Thanks for reading.

Marriage in reality is not a bit same as the mirage you watch in Nollywood movies, with little apologies.

For better and for worse ends right there at the pulpit.

Marriage without money is as good as dead.
It appeared your wife has left you long before she left.

Your side of the story is what we have heard. She may have slightly different versions tilted to her advantage. Such is life.

My advice: if things appear to be going well now, Look for her and bring her close, she can still do marvelously well.

The buttocks friction is a continued process but they are always together to guard the anus.

Kudos for your manly depositions.

Normally, for vaginal births, it takes up to three months so that the left over clotted bloods would have gone out and the womb would have set in properly and her body system getting back to normal

For those with CS, it may take longer due to the fact that her stomach stitches can be bruised and that's not a good one to withness

In all, a woman should know when she is set but giving then time up to that minimum of three months, helps to erase any issues health wise

Am not a doctor but am talking from my own experience

Individual inclination varies, if this works for you fine. Clotted blood/ discharge(lochia) clears 10-14 days for uncomplicated delivery (cs or svd). A few delay till 6 week ( puerperium). If the woman stops having pain and discharge and comfortable ( even at 2 week postpartum -post- delivery-) she is good to go. If these persist, coitus may have to be delayed, until she is treated or gets well.

#It is individualized.

Check those I have quoted already as fine.

olabrinks:
I had a cs, waited 6 weeks. But then cs does not interfere with the vagina so I can’t speak on those who delivered naturally

Anecdotal, helpful

Olalan:
There is no generally defined time to start sex cause bodies reaction and healing time differ but it's best to engage in sex only when the body has healed properly from the stitches and cuts gotten during delivery and when the woman is physiologically and mentally ready for sex.

Another good answer. #medical

Tpave:

While there's no required waiting period before you can have sex again, many health care providers recommend waiting to have sex until four to six weeks after delivery, regardless of the delivery method. The risk of having a complication after delivery is highest during the first two weeks after delivery.

Good. You have medical inclination

The baby should be negative. Or at worst be positive and be treated

Many Nigerians are very dumb...
You can see the ediot up there that said Coronavirus is not in Africa. And 50 ediots liked the post.

I can't believe some Nigerians are living in self-denial. The magnitude is even underreported

I can't believe I am seeing this type of comments from some Nigerians.

The trust has gone down the drain.

Humans are humans.

God help man: every country in the world lies then.

The guys that know just put you through, and you're still stiff-necked?

Well self-denial comes before acceptance.

Similar thing happened a century ago from flu pandemic and, who knows, self-denial led to over 20 million deaths.

Covid-19 is real in Nigeria and the figures you see and hear are far cry from reality. It is even higher and many are asymptomatic.

The prayer is 'may it not come near our dwelling'

The type of denial obvious here is worrisome and not covid compatible. Over-argument is destructive.

Can we please change it and together we will defeat it.

which MDA has paid?

one small study in animal model
story for the Gods
not hard. we can do 20year retrospective study to confirm. remember the statement said could harm not will harm or must harm. every drug has side effects. we take drug when we think the benefits outweigh the risks. not every problem that are common among the Caucasian are common in African. didn't your mother take PCM when is pregnant of you? did your thing disappeared ? that is why we call it study. more is required. both retrospective and prospective. WHO would not condemn paracetamol until enough has been done. this is just one group study. PCM is safe for now in pregnancy(WHO)

the evidence level low. we need the details of the study. sounds fake nonacademic write up. association level? what sample population is used. how many years follow up? USA has never rejected oral contraceptives. abortion can be spontaneous or induced. does spontaneous abortion not stop pregnancy process abruptly? discussion for the Gods. must you accept all online things. UK has liberal abortion law but Nigeria has restrictive laws I.e abortion is allowed in Nigeria under some conditions. ask questions about abortions and know.
better avoid unwanted pregnancy and save yourself the risks of termination. about 600 ,000 abortion takes place yearly here despite restrictions. no government hospitals would do induced termination inadvertently but they surely would do post abortion care.

history incoherent. see a Gynaecologist and stop all these. doctors work with history, physical examination, investigations and treatment. otherwise, it becomes a quackery. I guess no doctor has seen her all through, she is bent on shortcut which is the deepest cut.

0/n= 0

n/0 = infinity
0/0= no unique answer can never be equal to 2

0/0= error, no answer
10-10/10-10 is not one but no unique answer

(10+10/10) ×(10-10/10-10) = no unique slot

follow the rules but I admire your ingenuity

from: prof of mathematics

if foreigners are doing better than you, then wake up to outcompete them. almost all countries in the world harbour visitors. I guess the king's "candidate" was not employed, maybe a brainy foreigner out competed his candidate necessitating the outbursts. but that does not call for killing people. if all countries expatriate south African citizen , the home competition will grow. glo for MTN , hitv or startimes for dstv. the king should not think like he did and should try to retract such statement.

what is nairaland designed for? to be insulting people or make constructive criticisms and all that. someone would say there is a rule. the value of nairaland is dwindling and who knows, to vanishing point. guess some people has vested interests in targeted verbal missiles. smh. is this Nigerian showing this depth of hatred?? smh again . how are we one? where is the age long civility

I can think for whoever cannot. things falling apart and the centre trying to hold. fire burning here and homo sapiens are busy buying gasoline to quench it. smh

of snake and cockroach , which is more sinister? our passions varies.... but home first please.

taking acetaminophen pills on somebody's cephalhaematoma.

scam. oba didn't say that. u cannot boast with charms if you are not a devil. if you are devil, you have lost eternally. if he said that, let us see it on channels TV, and the eternal shame that will follow. you said you want Nigeria and you fought for it. now you said stay in your area: let's be one but if u entered my room, shut up. that is contradictory. most people that said such return to their home soon. ordinary man trumpeting

the Bible you now read is an abridged form of over 600 books of old. word of God did not start or ends in it. 'in the beginning, God created heaven and the earth' was not the beginning of time per se. not every phrase you read in the Bible is God's word either but there are many" thus says the lord". any thing that pertains to salvation tends to be hidden. Jesus speaks in parable to some but to others , the message is clear. if u need more knowledge about this, pray and ask God and he will explain the parables. apple fruit was never mentioned in the Bible as many believed and preached. but oh man, step up and see beyond ... intimacy involving the opposite gender was honorable. man can eat with the mouth in the head and with the mouth in the perineum. there was a being , the original serpent ,much like human who embodied the devil's traits. oh man it was him who slept with eve first and deposited the seed from the devil and the outcome is Cain. everything God made were good until now. And Adam too knew/slept with her to deposit God's seed and the outcome was Abel. Cain was never mentioned as God's son. Cain took his sister as wife and deposited same traits until sons of men and sons of God began to inter-marry and the seed spread. the fruits of the spirit of God diminished in some. have you bordered to ask where the natural instinct to kill and destroy Abel come from? thereafter the old human-like serpent was caused and it began to crawl on its belly. when you are confused, be sincere, kneel and ask God and don't be fooled & full of criticisms borne out of human logic which are far below the lowest realm of Him
