I pray for the mercy of God upon dis generation of ours

Just wondering why dogs and pics eat so mannerlesly? speaking about the crazy hell of noise they make while eating. its just so annoying. Anyone has anything to say about this ?

FreshGreen:
Every sinner is under the bondage of Satan, and everybody was born a sinner. But it would get to a point in your life that you may want to make a decision to surrender to Jesus and serve Him; at this point of time, your old task master, Satan, would not want to let you go. Since you have the power to decide and choose, he cannot force you down but he can suggest deceptive options to serve God.

When you accept any of his options to serve God, he keeps you in his bondage in your ignorance, thinking you are free from him. That was exactly the case with the children of Israel and Pharaoh; when the children of Israel were determined to go and serve God, and Pharaoh saw he could not hold them down any longer, then he gave them several options by which they could serve God, but Moses did not accept any of the Pharaoh suggestions.

You cannot serve God acceptably through satanic suggestion or option; for us to serve God acceptably, we must serve Him in accordance to His word and way, not in line with Satan options. So many people are seriously and zealously serving God today – in their personal lives and different churches, but they are ignorantly serving God in the ways of Satan, and so they are not recognized by God, and their services are not acceptable or rewardable.

Here are some of the options and suggestions of Satan to serve God:

Remain In Your Sinful Bondage And Serve God:
Exodus 8:25, “Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.”
Satan can tell you to remain in your sin and start serving God, that you can be a worker in the church, in choir and a minister, and still continue in your old way of life. Such service is an abomination to God. Pharaoh offered same thing to Moses, that the Israelites could serve God even in the land of Egypt that no need for them to leave the land because they want to serve God. But Moses was wise to reject such offer, “And Moses said, “It is not right to do so, for we would be sacrificing the abomination of the Egyptians to the Lord our God.” Exodus 8:26.

Any service unto God in sin is an abomination to God. Before you can serve God acceptably, you must first surrender your life to Jesus, forsake your sins and be cleansed.

Not Too Far
Exodus 8:28, “So Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Intercede for me.”
When Satan sees you are determined to serve God and get free from his bondage, he will suggest, “If you want to go, you can, but you can still be coming around to visit here, so don't go too far.” That is satanic deception to keep you in perpetual bondage, knowing fully well that if you don’t go too far, you will still remain under his bondage.

To be free from Satan’s bondage, you must leave completely and go far. You must be far from sinful territory, sinful partners, properties, materials, music, movies and anything that will link you back to the old life of sin; until you do that, you are not yet free from the bondage of Satan. You must put sin and its elements far from you.

Job 11:14, 15, "If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away, and would not let wickedness dwell in your tents; 15 Then surely you could lift up your face without spot; Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear."

If you will want to be free totally, you must completely leave the tent of sin and old life.

After your salvation and rededication to the Lord, Satan will want you to still keep some sinful and worldly materials and relationship, to still be visiting once in a while the sinful people and places, but for you to go far with God in your new life, you must move far from the old life and people, else you will find yourself back in the vomit.

Half Bondage, Half Freedom
Exodus 10:11, "Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the Lord, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence."

Satan will tell you that you can leave some sins and still hold to some, and continue to serve God. When you dedicate your life to Jesus, Satan will differentiate some sins as serious and major, and some as simple and minor; that you can continue in some little sinful stuffs, that it doesn’t matter, "Since you have surrender the majors ones." That is the deception from the pit of hell. Every unrighteousness is sin, meaning sin is sin, and every sin, no matter how simple or minor, has the capacity to lead to hell if it is not repented and rejected. Satan will suggest half freedom, that you don't need to drop everything at once, that you can drop them gradually. But he knows there is nothing like half freedom or a better or trying Christian, it’s totally free or never free.

If the Son of God shall set you free, you shall be free indeed. John 8:36.

Leaving Your Belongings In Bondage
Exodus 10:24, "Then Pharaoh called to Moses and said, “Go, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be kept back. Let your little ones also go with you.”

Satan can suggest that you can go and serve God but you can leave your belongings under his bondage of sin, that since you don’t drink again, you can still give your money to people to buy alcoholic drinks at ceremony; that since you don’t do ritual and traditional festival again, you can still send your money to them at village to do it or they will get mad at you; that since you are now a born again Christian, but you can still give money to your Muslim family to buy ram.

Satan would tell you, “Since you are now a child of God, and you don’t smoke or drink again, you can still invest your money to buy shares at beer Breweries, or you can still work at sinful companies like Breweries, Tobacco companies, Beer Parlor, etc. Such suggestions are from Satan to hold you in eternal bondage, because as long your belongings still remain in his territory, or you work at sinful producing companies, your heart will remain under his bondage, because where your belongings, money are, or where you get money, is where your heart will be. Matthew 6:21.

JESUS’ OFFER
Satan can suggest several ways for you to serve God, but it is unwise to take any of his suggestions, it is just like taking advice from your enemy on how to attack him. Jesus Christ is the Way, and He is pleading and soliciting to you to accept Him into your life and serve Him in His own way as clearly written in His Word, before it is too late forever. He says, “Come unto Me, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28.

To serve God acceptably, you must first surrender all to Him by realizing your sins and ready to forsake them. Then you confess them and ask Him to forgive you, cleanse you and save you. Then you start a new life in Him by following Him; you will detach yourself from the old things and people, you destroy all the sinful things in your life, and you delete the materials, music, movies, and memories of sinful connections. Then you can freely serve God in Christ Jesus, then you can go far and forward in your Christian life without rising and falling.

What are you waiting for?
Then what are you waiting for? Now you need to bring your life to Jesus and surrender it unto Him for His transformation and regeneration. You don’t need to delay further. You need to give your old life, polluted life up to Jesus so He can give you a brand new life in Him. Delay can be dangerous, do it now. Admit your sins, surrender all to Jesus, ask Him to forgive you and cleanse you.

Accept Him to be the Lord of your life and determine to be pleasing Him and following Him for the rest of your life till you get to heaven, no turning back to sin and the sinful world.

You about to experience unspeakable peace of divine touch, this is like never before! Just pray it in prayer now!

The grounds on which General Buhari is being promoted
as the alternative choice are not only shaky, but pitifully
naive. History matters. Records are not kept simply to
assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as
guides to the future. Of course, we know that human
beings change. What the claims of personality change or
transformation impose on us is a rigorous inspection
of the evidence, not wishful speculation or behind-the-
scenes assurances. Public offence, crimes against a
polity, must be answered in the public space, not in
caucuses of bargaining. In Buhari, we have been
offered no evidence of the sheerest prospect of change. On the
contrary, all evident suggests that this is one
individual who remains convinced that this is one ex-
ruler that the nation cannot call to order Buhari? Need
one remind anyone – was one of the generals who
treated a Commission of Enquiry, the Oputa Panel, with
unconcealed disdain. Like Babangida and Abdusalami, he refused to
put in appearance even though
complaints that were tabled against him involved a
career of gross abuses of power and blatant assault on
the fundamental human rights of the Nigerian citizenry.
Prominent against these charges was an act that
amounted to nothing less than judicial murder, the execution of a
citizen under a retroactive decree. Does
Decree 20 ring a bell? If not, then, perhaps the names of
three youths – Lawal Ojuolape (30), Bernard Ogedengbe
(29) and Bartholomew Owoh (26) do. To put it quite
plainly, one of those three Ogedengbe – was executed
for a crime that did not carry a capital forfeit at the time it was
committed. This was an unconscionable crime,
carried out in defiance of the pleas and protests of
nearly every sector of the Nigerian and international
community religious, civil rights, political, trade unions
etc. Buhari and his sidekick and his partner-in-crim e, Tunde
Idiagbon persisted in this inhuman act for one
reason and one reason only: to place Nigerians on
notice that they were now under an iron, inflexible rule,
under governance by fear. The execution of that
youthful innocent for so he was, since the punishment
did not exist at the time of commission – was nothing short of
premeditated murder, for which the
perpetrators should normally stand trial upon their loss
of immunity. Are we truly expected to forget this
violation of our entitlement to security as provided
under existing laws? And even if our sensibilities have
become blunted by succeeding seasons of cruelty and brutality, if
power itself had so coarsened the
sensibilities also of rulers and corrupted their judgment,
what should one rightly expect after they have been
rescued from the snare of power. At the very least, a
revaluation, leading hopefully to remorse, and its
expression to a wronged society. At the very least, such a revaluation
should engender reticence, silence.
In the case of Buhari, it was the opposite. Since leaving
office he has declared in the most categorical terms
that he had no regrets over this murder and would do
so again. Human life is inviolate. The right to life is the
uniquely fundamental right on which all other rights are based. The
crime that General Buhari committed against
the entire nation went further however, inconceivable
as it might first appear. That crime is one of the most
profound negations of civic being. Not content with
hammering down the freedom of expression in general
terms, Buhari specifically forbade all public discussion of a return to
civilian, democratic rule. Let us constantly
applaud our media those battle scarred professionals
did not completely knuckle down. They resorted to cartoons and
oblique, elliptical
references to sustain the people’s campaign for a
time-table to democratic rule. Overt agitation for a
democratic time table however remained rigorously
suppressed military dictatorship, and a specifically
incorporated in Buhari and Idiagbon was here to stay. To deprive a
people of volition in their own political
direction is to turn a nation into a colony of slaves.
Buhari enslaved the nation. He gloated and gloried in a
master-slave relation to the millions of its inhabitants. It
is astonishing to find that the same former slaves, now
free of their chains, should clamour to be ruled by one who not only
turned their nation into a slave plantation,
but forbade them any discussion of their condition. So
Tai Solarin is already forgotten? Tai who stood at street
corners, fearlessly distributing leaflets that took up the
gauntlet where the media had dropped it. Tai who was
incarcerated by that regime and denied even the medication for his
asthmatic condition? Tai did not ask
to be sent for treatment overseas; all he asked was his
traditional medicine that had proved so effective after
years of struggle with asthma! Nor must we omit the
manner of Buhari coming to power and the pattern of
his corrective rule. Shagari’s NPN had already run out of steam and
was near universally detested except of
course by the handful that still benefited from that
regime of profligacy and rabid fascism. Responsibility
for the national condition lay squarely at the door of the
ruling party, obviously, but against whom was Buharis
coup staged? Judging by the conduct of that regime, it was not
against Shagaris government but against the
opposition. The head of government, on whom primary
responsibility lay, was Shehu Shagari. Yet that
individual was kept in cozy house detention in Ikoyi
while his powerless deputy, Alex Ekwueme, was
locked up in Kiri-kiri prisons. Such was the Buhari notion of equitable
apportionment of guilt and/or
responsibility. And then the cascade of escapes of the wanted, and
culpable politicians. Manhunts across the length and
breadth of the nation, roadblocks everywhere and
borders tight as steel zip locks. Lo and behold, the
chairman of the party, Chief Akinloye, strolled out coolly
across the border. Richard Akinjide, Legal Protector of the ruling
party, slipped out with equal ease. The Rice
Minister, Umaru Dikko, who declared that Nigerians
were yet to eat f’rom dustbins – escaped through the
same airtight dragnet. The clumsy attempt to crate him
home was punishment for his ingratitude, since he
went berserk when, after waiting in vain, he concluded that the coup
had not been staged, after all, for the
immediate consolidation of the party of extreme right-
wing vultures, but for the military hyenas. The case of
the overbearing Secretary-Gener al of the party, Uba Ahmed, was
even more noxious. Uba Ahmed was out
of the country at the time. Despite the closure of the
Nigerian airspace, he compelled the pilot of his plane to
demand special landing permission, since his
passenger load included the almighty Uba Ahmed. Of
course, he had not known of the change in his status since he was
airborne. The delighted airport
commandant, realizing that he had a much valued fish
swimming willingly into a waiting net, approved the
request. Uba Ahmed disembarked into the arms of a
military guard and was promptly clamped in detention. Incredibly, he
vanished a few days after and
reappeared in safety overseas. Those whose memories
have become calcified should explore the media
coverage of that saga. Buhari was asked to explain the
vanished act of this much prized quarry and his
response was one of the most arrogant levity. Coming from one who
had shot his way into power on the
slogan of discipline, it was nothing short of impudent.
Shall we revisit the tragicomic series of trials that
landed several politicians several lifetimes in prison?
Recall, if you please, the judicial processes undergone
by the septuagenarian Chief Adekunle Ajasin. He was arraigned and
tried before Buhari’s punitive tribunal
but acquitted. Dissatisfied, Buhari ordered his re-trial.
Again, the Tribunal could not find this man guilty of a
single crime, so once again he was returned for trial,
only to be acquitted of all charges of corruption or
abuse of office. Was Chief Ajasin thereby released? No! He was
ordered detained indefinitely, simply for the
crime of winning an election and refusing to knuckle
under Shagari’s reign of terror. The conduct of the
Buhari regime after his coup was not merely one of
double, triple, multiple standards but a cynical travesty
of justice. Audu Ogbeh, currently chairman of the Action Congress was
one of the few figures of rectitude within
the NPN. Just as he has done in recent times with the
PDP, he played the role of an internal critic and
reformer, warning, dissenting, and setting an example
of probity within his ministry. For that crime he spent
months in unjust incarceration. Guilty by association? Well, if that was
the motivating
yardstick of the administration of the Buhari justice,
then it was most selectively applied. The utmost severity of the
Buhari-Idiagbon justice was especially reserved either for the
opposition in
general, or for those within the ruling party who had
showed the sheerest sense of responsibility and
patriotism. Shall I remind this nation of Buhari’s deliberate
humiliating treatment of the Emir of Kano and the Oni of
Ife over their visit to the state of Israel? I hold no brief
for traditional rulers and their relationship with
governments, but insist on regarding them as entitled
to all the rights, privileges and responsibilitie s of any Nigerian citizen.
This royal duo went to Israel on their
private steam and private business. Simply because the
Buhari regime was pursuing some antagonistic foreign
policy towards Israel, a policy of which these traditional
rulers were not a part, they were subjected on their
return to a treatment that could only be described as a head masterly
chastisement of errant pupils. Since
when, may one ask, did a free citizen of the Nigerian
nation require the permission of a head of state to visit
a foreign nation that was willing to offer that tourist a
visa? One is only too aware that some Nigerians love to
point to Buhari’s agenda of discipline as the shining jewel in his
scrap-iron crown. To inculcate discipline
however, one must lead by example, obeying laws set
down as guides to public probity. Example speaks
louder than declarations, and rulers cannot exempt
themselves from the disciplinary structures imposed on
the overall polity, especially on any issue that seeks to establish a
policy for public well-being. The story of the
thirty something suitcases it would appear that they
were even closer to fifty – found unavoidable mention
in my recent memoirs, YOU MUST SET FORTH AT DOWN,
written long before Buhari became spoken of as a
credible candidate. For the exercise of a changeover of the national
currency, the Nigerian borders air, sea and
land had been shut tight.
Nothing was supposed to move in or out, not even
cattle egrets. Yet a prominent camel was allowed through that
needles eye. Not only did Buhari dispatch his aide-de-
camp, Jokolo later to become an emir- to facilitate the
entry of those cases, he ordered the redeployment as I
later discovered – of the Customs Officer who stood
firmly against the entry of the contravening baggage. That officer,
the incumbent Vice-president is now a rival
candidate to Buhari, but has somehow, in the
meantime, earned a reputation that totally contradicts
his conduct at the time. Wherever the truth lies, it does
not redound to the credibility of the dictator of that time,
General Buhari whose word was law, but whose allegiances were clearly
negotiable. On the theme of double, triple, multiple standards in the
enforcement of the law, and indeed of the decrees
passed by the Buhari regime at the time, let us recall
the notorious case of Triple Alhaji Alhaji Alhaji, then
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance. Who
was caught, literally, with his pants down in distant Austria. That was
not the crime however, and private
conduct should always remain restricted to the domain
of private censure. There was no decree against civil servants proving
just
as hormone driven as anyone else, especially outside
the nation’s borders. However, there was a clear decree against the
keeping
of foreign accounts, and this was what emerged from
the Austrian escapade. Alhaji Alhaji kept, not one, but
several undeclared foreign accounts, and he had no
business being in possession of the large amount of
foreign currency of which he was robbed by his overnight companion.
The media screamed for an even
application of the law, but Buhari had turned suddenly
deaf. By contrast, Fela Anikulapo languished in goal for
years, sentenced under that very draconian decree. His
crime was being in possession of foreign exchange that
he had legitimately received for the immediate upkeep of his band as
they set off for an international
engagement. A vicious sentence was slapped down on
Fela by a judge who later became so remorse stricken
at least after Buhari’s overthrow that he went to the
King of Afro-beat and apologized. Lesser known was the traumatic
experience of the
director of an international communication agency, an
affiliate of UNESCO. Akin Fatoyinbo arrived at the airport
in complete ignorance of the new currency decree. He
was thrown in gaol in especially brutal condition, an
experience from which he never fully recovered. It took several
months of high-level intervention before
that innocent man was eventually freed. These were
not exceptional but mere sample cases from among
hundreds of others, victims of a decree that was
selectively applied, a decree that routinely penalized
innocents and ruined the careers and businesses of many. What else?
What does one choose to include or leave
out? What precisely was Ebenezer Babatope’s crime
that he should have spent the entire tenure of General
Buhari in detention? Nothing beyond the fact that he once warned in
the
media that Buhari was an ambitious soldier who would
bear watching through the lenses of a coup-detat.
Babatope’s father died while he was in Buhari’s
custody, the dictator remained deaf to every plea that
he be at least released to attend his father’s funeral, even under
guard. I wrote an article at the time,
denouncing this pointless insensitivity. So little to
demand by a man who was never accused of, nor tried
for any crime,much less found guilty. Such a load of
vindictiveness that smothered all traces of basic human
compassion deserves no further comment in a nation that values its
traditions. But then, speaking the truth was not what Buhari, as a
self-imposed leader, was especially enamoured of
enquire of Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor both of
whom, faithful to their journalistic calling, published
nothing but the truth, yet ended up sentenced under
Buhari’s decree. Mind you, no one can say that Buhari was not true to
his word. Shall tamper with the
freedom of the press swore the dictator immediately
on grabbing office, and this was exactly what he did.
And so on, and on, and on…
