uuzba: Defecate doesn't make the matter any better In 2025, Nigerian humans are still defecating openly on the roads? This image is a 1962 cartoon called The Jetsons 1962 ... 63 years ago... Where they envisioned fantastic technological advancements, flying cars, flying house, robots...etc. And here we are very well into the Future ahead of them, shitting openly in public? We still cannot contain human waste within functional plumbing systems. What a horrible disgrace.
I'm not disputing anything you wrote here, I just highlighted that the word sh*t is rather vulgar.
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. — Genesis 3:19
We are created of dust and we shall return to dust...⏳
The major thing we can achieve in this life is to please our maker, every other thing is vanity.
Steep: oga poverty is not a curse but the result of the adamic curse. The curse in Genesis is the hardship in working. Even the rich pass through this hardship. It is not easy to be rich and those that would be rich piece themselves with many sorrows.
Do you know that death is a curse, and also adeboye is getting old which is a result of the adamic curse.
Aging is also the result of adamic curse.
What is poverty? It's lack.
How can you claim that poverty isn't a curse??
Na wa o🤷♀️
Even Jesus became poor to make us rich.
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. — 2 Corinthians 8:9
Godfullsam: For your information, I am a regular tither. I do so willingly because of the blessings attached with tithing which I always receive.
But I will never use the book of malachi to scare people into paying tithe.
Like I said , go and read the full text in the malachi to know what lead to the verse you picked out . The book of malachi is not plenty na .
If I stop paying tithe today, God will not curse me, in fact he doesn't need even need my money to bless me in the first place. But I may be denying myself certain blessings which mostly come through tithing Tithing should be willingly from the heart. God will not curse anybody for not paying tithe to any pastor.
Stop hand picking some verses of the scripture that correspond with your sermon to convince or confuse people.
Most so called men of God do this and it is very disgusting.
Truth...
Many churches use the text in Malachi to force or scare people into paying tithes.
But looking at Jacob at bethel, he pledged his tithe to that place because he had a divine encounter. (Genesis 28: 10_22)
People should give tithes based on their encounters/convictions with God and not by fear of God's punishment.
This man, E.A.Adeboye, who is so highly revered by many in this country, is a man who doesn't know Jesus. And yet, sadly, he is leading countless millions astray with his twisted, polluted teachings. He is covetous, proud, and his god is his belly.
Jesus said: "I know thy tribulation and thy poverty, (but thou art rich): and thou art blasphemed by them that say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." Rev 2:9.
Here, Jesus didn't say His poor church was under a curse, but that they were rich in the truest sense of the word because of their union with Him.
Here's another verse: "They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. These all, having obtained a good report through faith..." Hebrews 11:37-39.
Again, here, Jesus commends His poor, afflicted saints as obtaining a good report through faith. He doesn't say that they were all under a curse, as Adeboye will have us believe.
Adeboye's sin is very great, and it is only on the last day of Judgment when Jesus returns that He will be known for what he truly is.
I beg to differ.....
I highly respect pastor Adeboye because of his humility and steadfastness in the authentic gospel of Jesus.
God's original intention for man was never poverty.... poverty came in because of the fall of Adam and Eve which brought the curse of poverty:
Genesis 3 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹⁷ And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
¹⁸ Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Poverty is a curse because it limits one from fully fulfilling destiny: fruitfulness, multiplication and dominance (Genesis 1: 28)
Porn is among the worst addiction because of its easy access....in the 70s_90s, it was not easily accessible and addicts had to smuggle VHS/VCD tapes to secretly watch it.
But now it's so free and comes in various formats to the insatiable thirst of addicts.
