Why did he even leave Juventus in the first place?

He is human. We all make mistakes o.

newdawn2017:
they re no longer engaged

So officially chioma is davido's concubine?

And the world cup is about to begin...

Davido exhibiting his fiance as a girlfriend or a concubine...


Hope he marries her though.

By providing a bullet proof car, God protected him....

how many pastors can afford luxury such as a bullet proof car?

Grandmeister:
Very easy and yet I have very devoted friends whose marriages crashed in the first three years, very easy and a lot of preachers have seen their marriages crash.

When a man and woman love each other with agape love in marriage, no matter the storms, it will only become stronger.

The problem is that many don't have a good relationship with God, hence they find it difficult to truly love in marriage.

selfemployed:
The recent attempts on the lives of Apostle Johnson Suleiman and Senator Chris Uba that took the lives of their security men has called for changes in the working conditions of these police men.

We can not continue to sacrifice our police men for the rich, just because they can afford a bullet proof car.

These police men have wives, children and families who hold them so dearly. But are being used as human shield for rich men who are on the target list of one criminal group or the other.

This is unfair!!!

In my opinion, there should be an urgent change in the working conditions of these police men.

These rich men who can afford bullet proof cars for themselves and their families, should as well provide bullet proof cars for their police orderlies. Infact, for all their entourage.

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

Very true.

But which rich man will provide bullet proof cars for his security??

It's unheard of.

Grandmeister:
The thing is most people can’t replicate that kind of love. It is a hard one for most people. It sounds easy but without understanding and wisdom of God you can’t replicate it.

It's very easy to show agape live, except you aren't a Christian.

Once you are filled with God's presence, it's very easy to show his love to everyone.

Only those who don't spend time with God, can't express His love.

Grandmeister:
What makes marriages work is loyalty and sacrifice and not necessarily love. Most people can’t give love even if their lives depends on it. Love isn’t the butterfly feeling in your gut. That js why after a few years when that butterfly feeling has passed, the union begins to crack…true love is based on sacrifice( for God so loved the world that he GAVE his ONLY son) but how many people can sacrifice their very self for another? Very few I tell you.

True love is God's love agape. God fills us with His love for others when we spend time with Him in His presence

Emotional or sexual love can't sustain a marriage. Only agape love can.

I'm not surprised....

When you have too much money, you get confused on how to spend it.

gassbee:
Marriage is not easy. Some are just hanging in there and managing themselves

Marriage is full of trouble just as life is.

The only manual for marriage is LOVE.

Once love is absent, marriage collapses like a pack of cards.

So many loveless marriages today.

After reading my Bible for hours, I feel God's presence so strongly.

Worship also draws me close to God.

IrepChrist:
It was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians,” Acts 11: 26.
This verse narrated the event that led to disciples being called after the likeness of Christ. Acts 11: 19-26 — It's a privilege that we believers today are called Christians because it emphasize our Christlike nature. Why are the disciples not referred to had born Christians?

Recently a prominent politician said I am a Christian but not born again. It sounds sarcastic. We should stop drawing lines between these nomenclature.

A born again Christian lives according to the Holy Spirit and word of God.

We have so many so called Christians, who live according to their flesh.

Potbellyman:
How come he didn't see the attack before hand

Only God has full knowledge of the prophetic.

Miyah1:
For clarity i used to smoking and now being a born again anytime I remember those periods, I always feel bad.

As long as you have repented, you have no reason to feel bad_you are forgiven!

Acts 13
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹ Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

² As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

What does it mean to minister to the Lord?

Ministering to the Lord simply means to meet His need.

Does God Almighty have needs? Affirmative!

Psalms 50
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹¹ I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

¹² If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

¹³ Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

¹⁴ Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

¹⁵ And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

In other words, God is saying, "I hunger and thirst after your thanksgiving. I don't desire the flesh and blood of animals, but your appreciation."

When we minister thanksgiving to God, He in return ministers back to us. This can be seen in v 15:

"call upon me in troubled times, and I will deliver you,"

When we minister to God's needs, He in return will minister back to our needs.

You see, one of the greatest needs of God is to be praised, worshipped and appreciated by us.

God created us primarily to praise Him:

This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
— Isaiah 43:21

If we were to spend the next 100 years praising God every second of the day, it won't be enough to sufficiently praise Him. Why?

Psalms 145
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
³ Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

⁴ One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.

God is so great, His greatness has no limits! Our finite minds are just too small to fathom the greatness of God.

God is so great He sits at the circle of the earth and all flesh are like grasshoppers to Him!

It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers....
— Isaiah 40:22

God is so great He calls the billions or trillions of stars and planets by their names!

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
— Isaiah 40:26

God is so great, 1000 years just seem to Him as a day before!

For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
— Psalms 90:4

No wonder the psalmist said:

I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised....
— 2 Samuel 22:4

God is indeed worthy to be praised beyond our widest imaginations.

Again the psalmist said:

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
— Psalms 150:6

For the very fact that you are breathing, means you are to praise God.

How do we come into God's presence?

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
— Psalms 100:4

We enter into God's presence with thanksgiving and praise. God created us to praise and thank Him.

We were taught several years ago by the general overseer of the RCCG that whenever we want to pray to God for let's say an hour, we praise Him first for about 50 minutes, then we make our requests for ten minutes.

Ministering to God is what guarantees swift answers to prayers. The more we minister to Him, the more He ministers back to us, far beyond our understanding.

If we want to receive quicker answers to our prayers, we must prioritize ministering to God.


Matthew 6
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
³¹ Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
³² (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

God knows all your needs before you ask Him. He knows that which is so urgent or important to us. If He knows the exact number of hairs on our heads, why won't He know all our hearts' desires?

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
— Psalms 37:4

When we delight ourselves in the LORD by ministering to Him always, He will give us the desires of our hearts, beyond our expectations, without we even asking Him!

In our opening bible passage, some prophets and teachers wanted to receive prophetic directions from God. So they began to minister to Him with fasting and the Holy Spirit spoke out clearly:

"Seperate Paul and Barnabas to me. I have a work for them to do".

By ministering to the Lord:

1. We can hear clearly from Him.

2. We can know His mind for us.

3. We can quicken His miracles.

boxypane:
This man too get enemies.

Success always makes enemies.

Just shows the level of insecurity in Nigeria...

Pathetic!

Corridon:
Might be from a rival pastor.

Wolves in sheep clothing

Once bitten, twice shy!

I no blame Joshua o!

Pride they say goes before a fall...

Anyways, even if Ronaldo retires now, he remains one of the greatest ever footballers to walk on this planet.

The only problem_

He refuses to retire and is slowly following Zidane who was disgraced out of football.

If he's reappointed PM, he has made history alongside Winston churchhill as pm's elected for two terms.

At least, Liz truss has already made history as the shortest ever pm of great britain.

I love the cool and calculated way she resigned....

If it was some african leaders, you will see the pain and/or tears in their eyes.

Sit tight mentality is african!

ericmor:
retire ke, no let him hear that one for your mouth o cuz the guy still have record to make. He want to be the greatest with no contest

Anyways, zlatan is still playing at 40 going to 41...

But the laws of diminishing returns respects nobody.

I'm sure 50 % of people commenting here haven't watched Ronaldo in his prime at man utd.

He was so good, just to see him play, I hardly missed any of utd's matches. Not unlike these days I hardly watch them.

Sadly, time waits for no one. His time is definitely up. His greatest mistake was listening to Alex Ferguson to rejoin man utd.

Ronaldo should quit man utd in January and retire from football after this season.

madjune:
From the first time I saw her, I knew she wouldn't last.

You can see through her that's she's of weak personality.

UK people can easily notice anyone like that and they don't like being led by the weak.

Yes.

She's an introverted person. Soft hearted.

Unlike her female predecessor _Margaret thatcher: nicknamed iron lady.

Just be patient. Your hair will grow back.

However, as you age, your hair grows slowly.

I remember all those years ago when as a child I would sneak into the kitchen to steal meat as it boiled!

Seems funny but I am ashamed of it!

Two things :

1. I smell a rat

2. he who pays the piper calls the tune

Someone obviously is financing the release of this girl.
