Luckydubby7:
. Oga nobody forced u and ur family to go out nah
Stay in ur house why we go out to hustle

Continue your hustle O. No worry, fresh lockdown is coming.

Luckydubby7:
. Who forced u or any member of ur family to go out.

But you would want to render services to others right, both at home and those who choose to go out. And those who choose to go out because of your negligence will now come back to our homes.

mvem:
have people not being dying from Malaria, cancer, TB, diabetes, HIV, Flu etc...why do you guyz make it seem as if people haven't been dying before covid... Funny enough the ailments I called take more lives and is taking more lives than this covid. Have you checked how many die each month with these other ailments...why the fuss?...others are dying everyday from other things

Those things others are dying from, are they viral?

Which can be more easily prevented?

What about the overwhelming of hospitals for people that have other diseases?

You guys are something else.

Like I said not all should be leaders.

Yet some people still say what is the purpose of lockdowns across the world, because of their own selfish reasons. They reason based on sentiments and self centredness instead of logic.

Because things like these have not yet affected them, they want more families to go through this kind of trauma.

Not all should be leaders. James 3:1.

Pearlyakin:
Oga, goan sleep FYI I'm a Christian but lotta Africans are just too religious you hardly find a white man pushing and forcing Christianity on his people.

You are not a Christian Sir.

huptin:
How could u predict how many could have died without lockdown? Did Taiwan lock down? What about Sweden? Czech Republic? Tanzania? Cross river? Kogi? Can you compare the number of death in those climes with what obtains in those countries that locked down?

In 6 months time the world will look back and realize that their has been no bigger mistake ever made than this thoughtless lockdown strategy ever!

Epidemiologists warned that interactions with viruses breeds antibodies that will eventually lead to herd immunity (exactly the strategy Sweden adopted) running away from it will make u very susceptible to it when you eventually relax the lockdown!

I think you need to do a research on the countries you listed and compare them with the countries I mentioned and also Nigeria.

There are actually documentaries out there like the one I saw on Sweden that explains why they didn't need a lockdown.

ppnye:
Then why are we not seeing exponential increase in the case of Sweden that never activated lockdown?

Because Sweden is sparsely populated Sir and most of its citizens are Educated and civilised.

Sweetmom:
So why are U.S states like Florida that lifted lockdown having fewer deaths than New York that locked down?

Because New York is a central business hub like Lagos and Florida is like Enugu.

Florida is sparsely populated while New York is highly congested.

Cause more flights pass through New York and Atlanta than Florida.

Cause Florida can easily be monitored and controlled than a congested New York.

Cause there are more poor people and slums in New York than Florida.

Shall I go on?

fiizznation:
Lockdown is a waste of time. The only reason why the world adopted the lockdown approach was because it kind of actually worked for China. But the same world forgot that China is a communist state were your rights will be taken from you with or without your consent. Pray tell me; what has the lockdown achieved so far even in advance European countries aside from crippling their economies? Nothing. Why do you think they are opening up their countries now by adopting different strategies from the calamitous lockdown?

What are you saying Mr. Man?

How is lockdown a waste of time in places like Italy, Spain and U.S?

How many more people would have died?

Is it because it didn't affect anyone close to you?

What about the overwhelming of medical centres for those who have other terminal illnesses to get treatment?

kikero:
1.Chloroquine has no effect on treating covid. New studies done prove that the drug does not improve care.

2.Regarding this covid, it is not that people are scared of numbers, it is that we are scared it would overwhelm our hospitals, and leave no room for people with other serious illnesses.

Finally, someone who is intelligent.

Lay up for yourselves a good foundation for the world to come.

Your life is slipping from you like water in a man's palm.

Why do you try to hold on and invest in what is not?

xcabczyxabczzzz:
If by now you don't see the news as a controlling mechanism I don't know when you would.

Yes they control.

Thats why people would believe them and the world will not take its former shape again.

tayebest:
The world is taking her shape again

You are obviously not following the news.

makanma:
that is my own fear too.....corona virus is not air borne....why the figures are increasing is what I don't understand..... maybe there's something really wrong with the test kits

Corona is short distance airborne not long distance.

Air conditioner in a room can spread it.

kestolove95:
[s]Any death in Nigeria now is a coronavirus death... evn accident dey will say is coronavirus[/s]

Qwayet!

davidinchrist:
John 15:6 KJV
If a man abide NOT in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Luke 9:62 KJV
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the PLOUGH, and LOOKING back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Hebrews 12:17 KJV
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of REPENTANCE, though he sought it carefully WITH TEARS.

Galatians 6:9 KJV
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, IF WE FAINT NOT.

Not for arguments, though.

May Jesus Bless You All.

God bless you.

solite3:
I m not asking you to go into greek or hebrew word.
Jesus said he never knew them.

you can deduce the answer from what Jesus said.
They were not saved because Jesus didnt know them.
Compare with this verse,

John 10:14
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:



As for the book of Revelation,
The criteria for not having ones name blotted out from the book of life is that they overcome.

Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

But who are those that overcome and how do they overcome
Those that are born of God are the overcomers and their faith in Jesus is what overcomes.

1 John 5:4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

1 John 5:5
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

So those who had their names in the book of life and removed were never saved?

So also those who used Jesus name to work miracles?



Chai.

Blasphemy.

solite3:
you answer me, who are the people whose names are blotted out from the book of life?

what did Jesus say about them? Didnt he say he never knew them?

I dont even want to go into the Greek and Hebrew word for knew in that passage. Let me leave that aside.

You have not answered my question.

Were they saved yes or no?

Rgade:
It's Enugu because I was there this morning

I have heard you and removed it.

May God help you guys.

Influenza:
Stop circulating old pictures.

I heard that you people value cows over human lives over there in North.

You see your life.

I am a Lagosian.

Any other thing you have to say?

solite3:
paul wasnt talking about his salvation but his ministry.



1 Corinthians 9:24-25 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

On the other hand eternal life is not a prize to be won or reward for good service but simply a free gift.

Romans 5:15
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Lol..so who are the people whose names are written in the book of life that can be blotted out?

Who were those who did miracles in Jesus name that were rejected?

Were they saved or not?

Rgade:
This is Enugu this morning, not Lagos.

See dis guy o.

How is this Enugu?

Chosen1984:
i only see people going about their businesses!

I cant post videos for you Sir.

You can feed yourself with them online.

Chosen1984:
Chaos? How?

.

Some people will come and say rubbish about the North now meanwhile Lagos is currently in chaos.

solite3:
watching tv or not watching tv has nothing to do with salvation.
Are you aware there are Christian's whose works would be burned but they would still be saved?
The judgement of Christians is different from that of unbelievers.

But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified
Apostle Paul .

Let he that hath an ear hear.

solite3:
the answer to your question is yes, He is already saved.

@ bolded of what importance is the Altar, salvation can come to any man at any point in time.
The truth is once you are saved you cant be unsaved.
A believer can temporarily fall away if he is immature but will ultimately be saved.

Not anyone should become teachers for these will receive much more stricter judgement at the judgment seat.

Study to show yourself approved unto God not man.

I fear for they who preach once saved always saved. Cause its like they have been blinded to see the myriad of scriptures that oppose their belief.

I won't even bother to teach on this subject right now cause I expect most to be adults and able to read their bibles.

BTW, Jesus is coming back for His bride, those who actively love Him and are looking for His coming. Not people spending their time watching TV.

catwalq:
Linkin Park
Whitney Houston
Yar'Adua

Its Chester tho not Linkin Park.

Yeah I felt that also.

They are busy shouting Kano, Kano.

When Lagos is going the same route from tomorrow.

babadee1:
You don't understand. The behaviours and acts of repentance are the results of believing in Him only, in fact there is no other way to please God except by faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God.
Your volcano analogy from John Bevere is a terrible way to describe the process of salvation. Salvation is not like getting the keys to an SUV. Salvation is more like being carried on the wings of God and flying high above everything.
My Father who has given them to me is greater than all, and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. (John 10:29)
Jesus said when we become saved we are carried in the hands of the Father and no one can ever snatch us away from Him. Think upon those words.

Mr.

No one can snatch you away from God. But you can snatch yourself away from His hand.

God can never forsake you. But you can forsake God.

Names can be blotted from the book of Life as Jesus warned. These means they had their names there already and were saved.

Many who are saved will say Lord, Lord and will be rejected.

This is why Jesus said abide in me.

How do we abide in Him?

...If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye may ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you...

...So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.

That last verse is for you and your believe statement.

Thank you.

solite3:
Build on it

Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

2 Peter 1:5, 10 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

Good, so you continue by adding things and being diligent in some things.

That is the point.

babadee1:
Ok now I get the problem. The simple answer is that nobody who is genuinely born again with the Holy Spirit living inside him will just sit idle in front of a TV eating for five years. Saving faith will automatically produce works pleasing to God without even any involvement of that person.

Let me tell you a story from the life of Smith Wigglesworth, a great preacher from many years back. Smith Wigglesworth was invited to the house of a wealthy woman, he preached the gospel to her and she believed. She gave her life to Christ and got born again.
Before he left, the newly converted woman called him aside to ask him some questions. She said, Mr. Wigglesworth, from time to time I like to throw parties in my house. Is it alright for me to still throw my parties now? He replied, yes of course, if you can. Then she said, I love playing cards is that still okay? He replied, yes of course, if you can. Then she asked, I like drinking alcohol from time to time, is that fine? He replied, yes of course, if you can. She felt relieved.
A few months later, she wrote him a letter. Mr. Wigglesworth, for some reason every single one of those things I told you I liked to do I find that I can no longer do them. I have absolutely no appetite for them and they no longer interest me at all.

Now let me ask you a question. That woman, was she saved because she changed her behaviours or did she change her behaviours because she was saved?

Then you have shot yourself in the foot.

So you have agreed its not just by what you called "believing on Him only". There were still behaviours and acts worthy of repentance.

As for the woman:

BTW, this language of someone already being fully saved or having salvation while in the flesh is not in your scriptures. That language was adopted by some preachers in recent times and this has gone under scrutiny.

Scriptures speaks of being saved, waiting for the hope of salvation, inheriting salvation when Jesus is finally revealed. That is the language of the New Testament.

Believe on the Lord and you will be saved. Fully Saved when?

...but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

....By your patient endurance, you will gain your souls.

You believe on the Lord means you also believe His commandments and do them. You belive He has purchased you and given the grace to live as He wants you to.

So that woman if she kept her change of behaviours till the end, will inherit salvation.

John Bevere said it well,

Supposing you lived high up on a volcanic mountain. And one day, alarm starts to blow that the volcano will erupt in 5 minutes and all living things on the mountain will perish.

But you don't have a car and it takes you 20 minutes on a normal day to get to the bottom of the mountain on foot.

So there is no hope, you are doomed. But you here a knock on the door while you are busy being frantic.

You open up, and you see a man handing you over a car key to an SUV. And he says hey take this freely, a gift from me to you. I will sacrifice myself for you. Now take the SUV and run. It will take you two minutes to reach the mountain and escape the volcanic ash with the SUV.

Now you grab the keys and in joy and happiness you dance around the house and you are shouting "I am saved" "I am saved". But you never enter the SUV to escape. All you do is thank this man.

Will you be saved then from the volcano?
