With or without osimhen, the bafana bafana are no match for the super eagles....

Osimhen is an added advantage in that he distracts defenders, making chances for goals to be scored.

But even if he doesn't play I am confident that Nigeria will beat SA.

Because of the financially turbulent times we currently live in, I did a little bible study on God and our finances.

📖 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
— Haggai 2:8

If God says the silver and the gold are His, then we must believe Him!

If we believe that God owes all the finances of this world, then our attitude to money will change radically. We will see ourselves as stewards of God to whom He has entrusted money to achieve His purposes.


📖 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich...
— 1 Samuel 2:7

If God has the ability to make a man/woman rich and poor, then it simply means He controls all the money in the world powerfully. Nothing is too difficult for God when it concerns finances, it all belongs to Him.


📖 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
— Ecclesiastes 5:19

Having wealth and riches isn't just necessarily due to your hard work or connections, it is the gift of God!

Believe it or not, the reason why many are poor today is because the gift of wealth given to them at birth by God had/has been stolen spiritually!

📖 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
— Proverbs 10:22

We all know this scripture, but we often misinterprete it. The 'sorrow' this scripture is talking about is not the kind of sorrows that follow those who do blood money, armed robbery, occultism, etc.

Its talking about money got through undue hardship, overly painful struggle and overly stressful ventures. God can bless you with riches without you struggling painfully for it.

Why? All money belongs to Him. God gives riches to those He favours.


📖 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.
— 1 Timothy 6:17

Most times, people have attained a high height financially, have a tendency to be proud and boastful.
However, it shouldn't be because the ultimate source of money is God, not necessarily out working, talent or smartness. The more money we have, the more humble we should be.


📖 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth...
— Deuteronomy 8:18

The power to get wealth comes from God. You can work all day and night, but if God does not empower you, you will end up in poverty.


📖 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.
— 1 Samuel 2:8

Our God is so infinitely powerful, He can raise a common beggar to the same exalted platform of kings, queens, princes, princesses and presidents.

God is the owner of all money.

📖... and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
— 2 Chronicles 1:12

Here God promised Solomon special riches and wealth. According to God's promise, no other king would ever be as rich as Solomon.

📖 Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
— 1 Chronicles 29:12

All the riches of this world belongs to God. He gives it to whosoever pleases Him.


From all these scriptures, here's a summary:

1. Money is spiritual. Money belongs to God.

2. God exercises unlimited power over money.

3. God gives money, wealth and riches to man. It's a gift from God.

4. Unfortunately, God's gift of money to man can be stolen spiritually through the devil especially through sexual sins, (porn, masturbation, fornication, adultery, etc.) witchcraft, occultism, disobedience, etc

5. If we want to be rich, we must find favour first with God, He owns riches and He gives richly. The key to God's riches is pleasing Him greatly.

6. We must be hard working, God doesn't bless lazy people. When we favoured of God, He blesses our least efforts and they yield much results. In contrast, we may be hardworking, but when we lack God's favour, nothing much will come out of it.

7. The major reason why God gives wealth is to advance the gospel and salvation of souls globally. If God can entrust you with money, He believes you will use it to fund the gospel 100%!

Can God trust you??

That's the problem of inflation...

Even in our inflation, God bless Nigeria 🙏

Something tells me that fury is scared of losing to usyk and will keep avoiding him as long as possible even to retirement?

The Angolans played a solid game...they could have scored earlier and won the game.

However they were outmatched by the super eagles in the midfield.

He learned the hard way during the world cup qualifiers...

In this nations cup, he experimented with a 3_4_3 formation and so far its working.

He should stick to this formation after the nations cup.

SweetDipBenny:
My president was there

The people's president!

Wow

This is one of the best matches I have seen Nigeria play in a very looong time.

Kudos to the coach for pairing lookman with oshimen in the attack. Lookman appears to be a false no 9 and he's doing the damage and easing the pressure on oshimen.

mikeapollo:
Your doubts cannot determine who God decides to choose and use for His glory!
Even John The Baptist had some doubt about Jesus, but he did not condemn or judge. He only sought for confirmation. But in your case, you make your doubts to lead you to condemnation.

Anytime I watched tb joshua I always felt a nudge in my spirit that he was not using the power of God.

I could be wrong though, but our spiritual senses are more reliable because the Holy Spirit lives in us.

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

SoNature:
Admittedly, Idahosa tried, but he didn't do half of what TB Joshua did. You need to go and watch his crusades. TB Joshua filled up an entire stadium full of local people.

Cc hardon1

I know idahosa used the power of God's holy Spirit, but what did tb joshua use to fill up a stadium?

I always had my doubts about him. Always listen to your spirit not your senses.

smokinloud:
Pray and fast as often as you can. That's the only escape route from the flesh.

And do not forget to read the Bible.... It's your spiritual food.

Hustling at another level...


Anyways, nothing new under the sun.

seunny4lif:
CFA is now more than Naira, unbelievable, same CFA that was a laughing currency few years ago

Hmmmm....

I remember long time ago in the 80's/90s when my late mother used to trade textiles between Lagos and Cotonou.

I used to see CFA then as paper decoration, It was so undervalued then.

E go better o.

system21:
The Nigeria of 1978, $13,100 was ₦10,220. What is the rate today? Bad leadership and corruption destroyed our economy.
Once upon a time in Nigeria, Naira was above dollar. That was when we were GIANT of Africa. Not anymore.
Then, $13,100 was ₦10,220
Today, $13,100 is ₦19,650,000.

Congratulations to all the supporters of failed government and corruption

Its well...

HajiMT:
The government needs to arrest this situation before it degenerates to a full-blown crisis.

I'm telling you...

It's a serious problem.

Money answereth all things...


The only problem is that some people don't know how to spend it when they have it.

Church instrumentalists shouldn't be paid salaries as they aren't full-time ministry called.

However, they should be given stipends for transportation and compensation.

Sometimes I wonder if blood flows through the veins of these ritualists....

These days are truly evil, trust none but God!

Our dear pastors should take a cue from Joseph: he fled with his heels touching the back of his head!

No matter the anointing, stop doing superman with temptation, flee temptation!

I thought corporal punishment was banned in Nigerian schools....

Not too late though.

Many a teacher will be tempted to carry out their anger on their students in such an economic situation as ours.

So far the super eagles have not really been impressive in this afcon....

This is the best time to up their game and prove all their critics_including me, wrong.

Can someone please advise our coach to use a two or three front attack and not depend on oshimen alone??

dazzlingd:
Not certain. It’s anybody’s game

Only if it end up in penalty kicks...

But I know Senegal will outplay them.

Hurbashola:
Congrats to Ivory Coast 🇨🇮

Yes congrats to the elephants, but Senegal will beat them in the second round.

These days, some women put their bodies up for the highest bidder, even in marriage.

It sounds absurd and obnoxious, but it's sadly true

And it's mainly because of poverty.

So tragically sad....

Life is full of uncertainties, be closer to your maker.

Smile4mee01:
I'm a single 39yr old Nigeria guy in diaspora trying to settle down and going to Nigeria to marry is not an option.

I'm an introvert who has been through some childhood trauma in my family and really fear marriage because of what I have seen and how bad it can be sometimes.

However, an old female friend and colleague of mine who we worked together in Nigeria and now in canada recently contacted me and she is also single and not had children. She is doing well for herself and now a citizen there while I'm not. A part of me is concerned about

1. Fertility : I desire children. However, can she have me healthy children @ 39. How many can she have? I discussed us trying for a child , she appears to want a.marriage first. But what gurantees do I have to have children.


Should I be concerned? I dont want to enter one chance.



Please I use God beg you, no insults just advice. Abeg. God bless you.

Life is all about risks. Marrying her is risky.

Life is risky but with God it isn't. Miracles occur with God.

Don't forget the God factor in your marriage relationship, it's critically very important.

However, love is the most important factor in any marital relationship, do you truly love this woman?

Benki003:
Nothing is easy in life just do what you love doing 😘❤️

That's right.

What you enjoy doing the most will eventually bring you most profits...

I said eventually o not immediately.

joseph1832:
what this man did back then is actually fraudulent! Men he deceived so many, including me, with Boney M.

Actually thought Bob Farrell and the women were the ones who sung those songs back then. Chai!!!.

In boney m, they had four singers. only Bob Farrel and another lady lip syched and danced. The other two female vocalists, one Liz Mitchell, sang beautifully.

The truth will ultimately be exposed, no matter how much we try to hide it.

Not a follower of secular music, but music those days sounded much better than these days.

Immatex:
Beginning from WW1, peace - the relative peace humans enjoyed, was taken away from the earth in fulfillment of this vision by John
"When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say: “Come!” Another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword."
Revelation 6:3;4

A war of greater magnitude than the first and second world wars is coming.

Jesus said the kind of troubles that are coming in the nearest future are the kind of troubles that will make ww 1 and 2 look like a joke.

Dennisochampa:
.....una don see oshimen finish Sha.....
Alvarez had less than 10 goals in all of 2022/23 season and you said he's more clinical than oshimen who had 26 goals and 4 assists

Alverez is not a starter in man city because of haaland.

But when he's given opportunities, he's clinical in finishing.
