Christianity can never be phased out even in the next 1000 years..

The power of God cannot be bottled.

If lookman goes, it's his own advantage and Atalanta's loss.

He will fare more better in a club that play exciting football like the gunners.

We all need humour once in a while to calm our nerves in this economy....and this is one😀

Daejumong:
Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr and wife dress appropriately when doing exercise! They make sure their bodies are well covered and they work out together! These are guys who studied and worked in America for about 15yrs!

David(41)is the first son of arguably the richest pastor in the world and the heir apparent to the throne! He is well exposed, handsome and highly sophisticated, same for his wife,Kemi(40)! They would never wear singlets and boxers to a public gym. They use the gym facilities in their home thereby avoiding unnecessary temptations!

God bless you David and Kemi. May your home continue to blossom IJN.

I don't mean to be offensive, but i really don't understand your emphasis on what ministers of the gospel wear or don't wear to the gym or stadium like pastor David oyedepo and wife in the post.

It really doesn't add up like your last post on Jerry eze who wore appropriate exercise clothes to the gym!

It's so irrelevant!

Just watched some old videos of Donald when he was a much younger man and it seems he has always been a very passionate, nationalist, opinionated and dogmatic person.

The coach is just using lookman as a public scapegoat... penalty taking is 50-50.

Ademola came in the 2nd half, scored and turned the match around. It was unfortunate that he missed, but even Italy's great Roberto baggio missed the last kick at WORLD CUP 1994 final.

That's why we always advocate know your purpose before marrying.

Nobody is useless, the only problem is many are yet to discover themselves.

Nigeria is rich in natural and human resources, but not financially.... mostly due to corruption.

No perfect marriage, marriage wisely if you must marry.

Love of money is the root of all evils....

See how sheepish and innocent the boy is looking, not knowing that his uncle want to 'sell' his destiny.

False teachings

I never said God killed Onan simply because he spilled his seed on the floor.

If I did, then I agree I'm a false teacher.

What I said was God killed Onan because he desecrated his seed in willfully disobedience to God by refusal to impregnate Tamar as custom allowed then.

I wrote this post to highlight the spiritual significance of a man's semen 💦

Seunomobo:
So what am I supposed to do when I want to make out with my hubby when I don't want to get pregnant?
Make I tell am saying make e no cum?

Pray to God that you don't want to get pregnant

but seriously, some couples use safer contraceptive measures that don't violate scriptures.

babat89:
What if he poured the semen in a cup and froze it, then used the semen to later inpregnate Tamar when he was more financially able to raise children, would God have killed him too?

Even if he didn't pour the semen on the floor and he still impregnated Tamar.

The reason you are this daft is because you don't ask questions and you don't think.

You cram and your pour out pus.

Even Jesus was said to go to the Temple at 12yrs and was asking the Teachers of the Bible such hard questions it made them uncomfortable.

They had to admit his 'reasoning' was more than excellent.
He used his brain.

But you... zero!

You take simple scripture and twist it based on your primitive, warped mindset.

If sperm were so precious to God, why would put millions in each ejaculate and not just 1.
The same way he only has 1 precious son.

No wonder Africa is so backward.

Hey, there's no need to use rude language.

Keep it clean.

Don't pour out your anger and vexation over our economic situation on me 😀

It's well.

If you don't agree with my writing, take a chill pill or a hot cup of milo☕

alizma:
You said God gave rules on discharge of semen, please can you show us the chapter.
Secondly why did you keep quoting, with his wife as if man is allowed to decide on what to do with the semen when he is have sexual intercourse with another woman, also was Onam with his wife when he spill it on the ground?

I gave the scriptures on which God set laws for the emission of semen: Leviticus 15: 16-18

God created sex for marriage, so a man should release his semen only in sex with his wife.

Onan was only fulfilling the law of that time of raising children for his late brother.

Tamar wasn't Oman's wife.

Osanoghodua1:
This is nothing but heresies, you're preaching another gospel, this will mean a man who constantly have sex with his wife is less powerful than one who stays away from sex from his wife. During fasting and prayers, you can both agree to abstain from sex for a while so the devil doesn't tempt you both, if after breaking the fast, you have the urge to sleep with your wife, fee free to do so as it doesn't affect alignment. Ensure you stay full of God, it's the most important.

God killed him not basically he spilled the semen on the ground but because of the intent of his heart, his wicked heart killed him, he wasn't willing to raise seeds for his late brother, this was why he was killed. He proposed wickedness in his Heart.

When you abstain from sex (masturbation inclusive) fast, pray and read God's WORD, you are generating a lot of spiritual energy that can be converted to success or miracles physically.

Of course, married couples should have a schedule for sex especially when they are given to fasting for spiritual results.

God killed Onan for his intentions, but his actions in pouring out his semen on the floor can't be ignored.

God sees these things as unclean.

plessis:
If he did not want us to waste the seed, Why did he curse men with konji?

You and your God should go and sit down.

If you practice semen retention for 2 to 3 weeks, you will notice 3 things:

1. You will be more calm, peaceful, restful and confident.

2. Your Faith in God will be stronger and stronger.

3. Your finances will increase. You will be more successful in life .

All you need is self control. Don't go about pouring out your semen without control.

God gave us sexual drives to channel our sexual energies to success as well seek marriage.

tctrills:
God did not reveal the reason he slew Onan. And we are warned not to add or subtract from his word. You can't just make up a reason for God.

There was a man called uzziah in the bible. God killed him when he tried to hold the ark of covenant when it was about to fall.

Why did God kill him? He wasn't a priest.

Why did God kill Onan? Because he willfully disobeyed in pouring out his seed on the floor.

God judged Oman for his selfish actions, but it therefore means that a man's semen has a lot of spiritual significance.

12345baba:
it had nothing to do with all the sexual blabla u quoted.its justed disobedience, back then God dey strike person for just lying

Onan disobedience was it not in pouring out his seed on the floor?

It's was not just his selfish refusal to impregnate tamar....his actions were included.

Seunomobo:
So if I'm married and I don't want to get pregnant yet, where hubby go pour the semen?
Since pouring the semen on any surface is considered Unclean.....

Chai

That's the WORD of God.

It could also imply the use of condoms as sinful.

Sammy5413:
Onan was killed by God for direct disobedience and not the way you saying it.


If what you saying is true of which it doesn't even near the truth, even you the writer must have more than 100 kids and still counting unless you won't touch ur wife anymore which is also a sin before God!

NB; if you have kids yu can't train, that's a big sin before man and God

You read the scripture with human knowledge but ask God to guide you to the meaning!!!

God killed Onan for his direct disobedience in pouring out his seed on the floor.

I never said God killed Onan just for pouring out his seed, but his actions had spiritual significance to God.

But each time semen is released carelessly, it displeases God because He sees it as an active life force.

Bishop:
Bless you brother,Thank you for putting this in the right perspective.It makes more meaningful sense than what the other guy wrote.

Any other person reading his write ups would have been mislead,he had zero knowledge of what he was talking about.

God punished Oman for his willful disobedience in pouring out his semen on the floor rather than impregnating his late brother's wife.

I didn't say God killed Onan simply because for his withdrawal method though that's unclean in his sight.

But by his actions in pouring out his seed, clearly a man's semen is of deep significance to God and that's why I wrote this article.

babat89:
Again I say you are daft!
...and you lack comprehension skills.

Why didn't God kill Onan when he had wet dreams?

Or when he did withdrawal method with his own wife (to prevent pregnancy).

Or is sex only meant for pregnancy?

I will be surprised if you did well in school.
Because this your reasoning ehn... na war!
🤣

What's the purpose of sex? It's mainly for procreation. Yes, there is pleasure and intimacy, but the main purpose is procreation.

That's why God sees semen as sacred.

God killed Onan because he willfully disobeyed in pouring out his seed on the floor.

Having wet dreams isn't willful, but masturbation is wilful and God sees it as a sin.

Discountsempai:
It had nothing to do with Onan spilling his seed, and the verse in question had nothing to do with masturbation (and no, I am not excusing masturbation...especially as I have never engaged in it, because quite frankly it does not make sense).

Onan was supposed to marry his late brother's wife, and under the customs of that time, the first child he had with his wife would be counted as his brother's child (strange to us, but in a society with high child mortality, and a concern over keeping lineages alive...).

Onan refused to do that because (as the verses imply)...he hated his brother Er. So, out of bitterness, he denied Er THE RIGHT TO KEEP his lineage alive.

Essentially, what Onan also was doing was

1. Denying Tamar the right to have a child...in a society where barreness was a BIG STIGMA. (See how Jacob, Onan's grandpa, wife Rachel felt about having no kids...and later on Hannah. And even Sarah, Onan's great-great grandmother).

2. Essentially telling his father that he wanted both his and Er's inheritance...ie greed. If he had done what he was supposed to do, then when Judah died, his (Onan's) firstborn son would have gotten Er's portion of the inheritance. By having no kids, he gets a dobule portion.

3. Essentially commiting an injustice to his late brother and dishonoring his memory.

Thus..as the bible put it in Genesis 38 vs 8-10

8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also

So, nothing to do with seed or with masturbation as the OP thinks it does.

At its base it is a story about how harmful greed and resentment can be. And how wickedness also can provoke resentment (Er is described as a wicked man, so it is obvious that he was wicked to his two younger brothers, breeding anger and resentment).

Contrary to your view, this story has a lot to do with the spiritual significance of a man's semen.

Yes, God killed Onan for his willful disobedience in refusal to impregnate Tamar, but his actions of pouring out his seed on the floor was very spiritually significant.

His motives and actions were judged by God.

OfficialP:
I find it difficult to believe that God killed anyone. Jesus is the express image of God, Jesus never killed anyone

God killed a lot of people in the bible in the bible, especially the OT.

This was because in the OT, there was no blood of Jesus to atone for the sins of the people. Therefore God often expressed His anger freely unlike in the NT.

12345baba:
This one read bible finish come explain am upside down. God slayed onan for disobedience.

Yes, that's exactly what I stated.

God killed Onan for his disobedience in pouring out his semen on the floor rather than impregnating Tamar.

So therefore, the semen must have life significance in God's view.

babat89:
You are daft!

You simply lack comprehension skills...

The reason Onan was 'killed' according to that passage was because he didn't want his brother to have children by him, which was the law at the time.

If a man died childless, his brothers were supposed to impregnante the wife, so the man's lineage would continue.

Intelligence is required in being a good Christian too.

So by your defective analogy, if a couple have fertility issues, the man must not do semen analysis?

Abeg, no dey use this your brain cross road o!
🤣

Open your eyes clearly when reading my article.

I said God killed onan for outright disobedience in desecrating his semen by pouring it out on the floor rather than impregnating Tamar.

Oman committed two offences:

1. Refusal to impregnate Tamar

2. Pouring out his semen on the floor.

📖 Genesis 38
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁸ And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
⁹ And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
¹⁰ And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.


In the Old Testament God gave His people some laws concerning the discharge of semen from a man. (Leviticus 15:16-18)

According to these laws:

👉Anytime a man discharges his semen outside procreation (with his wife) he is considered unclean.

👉Any type of surface a man's semen falls upon is considered unclean.

👉When a man is in the process of procreation (with his wife) and he discharges his semen externally, both of them are unclean.

From these laws, we can see how sacred/sacrosanct man's semen is to God.

God ordained that man's semen should be utilized in procreation (with His wife) and not discharged carelessly/anyhow like in the case of Onan.

God killed Onan because he in outright disobedience, desecrated his semen by pouring it out on the floor instead of procreating with Tamar. (As custom then allowed it to raise children to represent his dead brother)

The major purpose of a man's semen is for procreation; to produce children on earth:

📖 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
— Psalms 112:2

The semen of man is full of supernatural creative energy from God. It can create life therefore it is highly valuable in the spiritual realm.

This is why the more a man practices semen retention, (with bible reading/prayer) the more supernaturally creative he becomes like God Himself. (Hebrews 11:3)

The devil and his cohorts also seek semen to create life/exercise power in the demonic realms.

In God's perspective, a man's semen is LIFE and can create LIFE; therefore it shouldn't be treated with levity like it's done today with many through masturbation, MouthAction, homosexuality, fornication, etc

Unfortunately, the free availability of pornography/prostitution has misled much men in freely desecrating their semen attracting the wrath of God:

📖 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men...
— Romans 1:18

We are under the dispensation of grace by the blood🩸of Jesus, that's why God's wrath hasn't been fully manifested yet.

But grace period will be over soon.

michaelwestern:
I've tried to do it secretly and failed. I'm hoping I can get encouragements and motivation from others that's why I made it public.

Doing a 40 day only water fast requires the grace of God. It's very difficult and can be suicidal.

Kenneth hagin of blessed memories never fasted beyond 3 days and God used him so mightily in ministry even to this day through his books.

I would advise you do a 3 day fast, it's very effective as long as you spend more time in God's WORD and pray.

Some men of God attempted to fast 40 days and died in the process. From one account of pastor Adeboye, I read that he ate 2 or 3 slices of bread everyday when he underwent one of his numerous 40day fast just for strength....

It ain't easy bro, but above all be led by the Holy Spirit and not your flesh.

michaelwestern:
My name is Samuel and I'll be undergoing a 40 days water fast starting today.

Water fast means I'll only take water for the whole 40 days.

The prayer requests for the fast

1. Increase in IQ: I'm a graduate but I still have a very low IQ, I can't think or reason at a normal rate. I might be a little above functionally retarded.

2. Spiritual growth: I can speak in tongues but it's been a long time since I prayed or read the Bible. I hope the fast will help

3. Mental stability: I've been depressed and suicidal for at least 12 years now. I was on antidepressants for about 4 years and it helped but I stopped because of the side effects. I hope the fast will help

4. Financial Stability: I'm 33 and still live with my mother with no hope reasonable employment because of my IQ. I'm also like over 60k in debt. I'm hoping the fast will help with that.

I'll appreciate your support and encouragement.

Even our Lord Jesus admonished us to keep fasting private not public.

Nothing influences the spiritual realm more powerfully than fasting and that is why we should keep it secret because the devil will fight you from fasting if he gets to know.

Yes valentine's day is full of lust, but how can you ban a day that's isn't even officially recognized?

Looking for publicity?

As for cupid, I never knew he was an evil spirit according to the pastor. I thought he was just a roman myth like Hercules, Perseus, Zeus, etc A mere figment of imagination.

This guy will definitely make an iron fisted dictator like Putin if we were to judge by his looks....
