When you have a very strong relationship with the Holy Ghost, you will know what to do. Besides, inordinate affection should be mortified (Colossians 3:5).
Now, what should be the level of intimacy in a christian relationship?
Answer : The one in which the Temple of the Holy Ghost (the body) won't be defiled in every form.
Going to heaven is by grace. If your reason of serving the Lord is because of the fear of hell, your conviction is built on sinking sand. in fact you're working out your holiness in the flesh and that's sin itself and filthy rags before the Holy One. Allow the Holy Ghost to teach and help you. Your own is to yield to Him. Please it's not about "do this" or "don't do this" . Arrrghhhhhhhh..... It's nothing but the flesh.
Allow the Spirit to lead you. It's left for you to yield. It's not about rules and regulations or THE FEAR OF HELL. Love of/for God should be our basis for living holy lives
Hell fire which they claim have been flaming for 4000 years now doesn't exist, what type of fire dey flame for 4000 without stopping ?? Gas or firewood ??
The people in hell fire don burn for 4000 years, dem never turn to ashes ?? What happened to the people who were born before jesus Christ ?? Them no go heaven, them no go to hell fire, they just turned to a bird and flew away ??
God created the first human which were Adam and Eve and they gave birth to Cain and Abel, Cain and Abel married and had children, who the fucck did they marry ?? Their mother ??
Jesus was born through immaculate conception
The holy spirit just made a woman become pregnant
His pictures can't be found, his birth record can't be found
Oh, the picture they show you claiming he's Jesus was taken 4000 years ago with an iPhone 7
He walked on water, feed 5 thousand people with 5 loaves of bread but couldn't handle three nails on the cross
Can you just go tell this lie to primary school kids
Whether you believe or you don't believe it, it's irrelevant. Your childish opinion doesn't count. #yawns#. No offence pls
DaySpringer: I have seen your post and your problem is complex and most of it is internal... Yet you are trying to find a solution externally.
Seems you weren't shown a lot of love early in life and till now you still seek that person that will come and make you their center of attention and make you feel that love that you think you are lacking.. Even if you get a girlfriend, she has to always show you a lot of attention if not you will doubt her love. This also means that you will be very clingy. You know the irony of all this? The same need for attention and clinginess you will display will make ruin that relationship.
This neediness also shows in your behaviours sub-consciously and girls pick up on it which accounts for the reason for most of your rejection.
Did i forget to add Low Self-Esteem?
Here you're not even talking like a man who knows his worth as a man, so the rejection you receive from girls means that you won't get married? That means you will fall for the first girl that seems to really want to marry you because she is the first girl that didn't reject you or rather one of the very rare ones who didn't.
OP There are many principles and coded knowledge that apply and are true in this our world of dating and in the world of relationships at large.
Like i mentioned early you found a girl that seemed like she was the one for you and instantly you fell for her.. and then asked her out, you weren't sure she was fully attracted to you, you let your neediness shine through and you wanted to possess her instead of being patient and waiting till she was totally hooked to you.
Again your neediness and need for attention shininig through, almost every guy has gone through this with a girl before and the mark of maturity is when the guy is able to take things coolly, acknowledging that almost every girl does this; infact the mark of a well collected player is being able to spin it and make the girl feel like she missed out on something exciting, list all the things she missed and make her want to make it up to you next time she sees you. Other guys would use this opportunity to make the girl more into them but you're here whining like a baby. Look at your victim mentality, "Being treated by ladies"
The girl called you and apologised to you and you're still here, whining, Some girls don't even bother. She deemed you important enough to apologize to you and yet your low self esteem didn't let you see that. You still had the victim and crybaby mentality. No girl's actions is supposed to determine, your worth, the fact that the girl did not do the necessary things in order to make sure she could see you, means she is uncoordinated, the problem is with her not you.
And Right here is the greatest expression of Low self esteem. Bro, those things might attract a girl but those things won't keep a girl, Infact those things are not the most important things to have when it comes to getting girls, I am sure you have heard of Ugly guys getting and banging the hottest babes, that's your proof there.
There are guys with what you have that don't need to talk much to get a girl.
Do you know that all relationships have their own problems?
Do you know that not all relationships that look happy on the outside actually are?
Do you know that almost all relationships eventually end?
If you cannot be happy with yourself when you're single, how can you be happy with a girl in a relationship? you will burden her with all your emotional needs (leading to you becoming insecure and clingy) and no human is meant to carry the emotional burdens of another, eventually they will break or leave and guess what? You'll be right back where you started.
So Bro what is the solution for you? 1. You need to learn to Love yourself.
2. Do research on Low Self-esteem and all it's manifestations and work on getting rid of it. Self-Esteem does not come from what is on the outside or what you have but what is on the inside and that's why it is called "SELF-esteem"
3. Find things to do that make you happy, have hobbies. Learn to be able to enjoy yourself by yourself or with your guys and that will naturally draw girls to you.
4. Learn something, boosting your skills boosts your confidence and if you already have an amazing range of skills write them down and be proud of them and work to improve them.
Now get yourself out of that Self Pity shit, Girls are too flaky and unreliable for you to base your happiness on having them!
justscorchone: Count yourself lucky,unlike me that have a mother battling cancer that I have to spend my time at the hospital this Christmas, new year,valentine and God knows when.all this I'm single but the health of my mother is my priority.you even kon get money join,guy you need to grow up finally.
Before the end of this year your mum will be perfectly well. A divine surgery will be done on her. I type this as moved by the Power of the Lord Most High God. It's done in Jesus' name. Congrats bro
Honestly, I wonder why football fans don't emulate the likes of Ronaldo and Messi. Messi judiciously uses the gift and talent he has, hence the grace has taken him far in his career path. Ronaldo, obviously, has shown a dogged and persistent commitment in his football career. Ronaldo's diligence and pursuit for success has taken him thus far.
We need to learn from them and pursue our dreams with passion too. Enough of unnecessary arguments and childish talks. I just tire for una. Remain blessed.
solasoulmusic: Theres no perfect partner but it's best to settle with your best friend someone who knows what makes you upset and strives to not press your buttons unnecessarily. I feel healthy love is supportive not boastful and not abusive verbally or physically also it's important to truly let go of those who will never love the imperfect you.
Of course we all go through tough times but really the substance of a man is how he handles his trials gracefully. Don't be ungrateful don't be wasteful don't look down on anyone cause your not the know all and end all.
Know who is worth it
In a decent partner I seek humility and a prayerful spirit
I love Pastor Kumuyi, he's one of my mentors. However, I ponder more on the sinless One. He was perfect to the point that he became the righteousness of God in us; My Master JESUS CHRIST.
[1:49:30]Pastor Tom Amenkhienan introduces a woman who "fell in her bathtub 3 years ago and fell on her ribs. she's been having pain in her ribs and been on medication ... has not been able to lift her right hand. the power of God came upon her there" Pastor Hinn slaps her under the chin and she falls into the arms of the ushers. "She hasn't been able to lift her right hand because of the severe pain in her ribs," says Pastor Tom. The ushers lift her and he waves his arms in front of her to make her fall down again. I'm wincing because I think she's still in pain.
[1:50:28] Pastor Chris decides to stand behind Benny Hinn so that his sheep won't forget that he's their master. Spiritual photobombing! Benny Hinn is satisfied with the number of people who have come out to testify of their 'healings', so he asks the audience to sit down. Benny seems to realise that the 'healed' woman is still in a lot of pain, so he asks them to let her go without demonstrating her healing. Thank God.
[1:51:00] Sinach introduces us to the next miracle candidate. "She is 23 right now but when she was 13 she noticed that her right leg was shorter than usual. But now, as you were praying, she feels that the leg has grown out and is growing out. She said as she's walking down, it keeps coming out, coming out, that she knows she has been healed. Praise the Lord!". I can see why he likes Sinach; she's competent. Benny Hinn pushes the girl's chest and she walks back several steps but doesn't fall down. Benny asks, "is your leg growing still?" "Yes sir," she answers. He waves his hand as he moves towards her saying "every bit of it..." and she staggers back on her uneven legs. Even when he shouts "GOES!" she staggers back a few more steps as the ushers keep her steady but she refuses to fall; because of her short skirt??
[1:52:10] There's some commotion in the audience. Someone is carrying a wheelchair towards the pulpit. Pastor Hinn says, "oh my God; he could not walk?". A boy staggers towards the pulpit in a very awkward way. His legs are bent, his feet are turned 90 degrees inward and he looks as if he would fall down at any moment. The ushers help him to climb the steps. The crowd is really excited. Benny Hinn prays for God to make him whole in Jesus name and makes him fall, which is easy because he can barely stand. Benny speaks with his mother, who is not as ecstatic as you would expect, but he doesn't give her the microphone. He asks her to keep him walking to perfect the 'healing'. Heh.
[1:54:34] Pastor Tom introduces testifier #4 "She has brain tumor for 3 years. She couldn't stand by herself for 5 minutes. The power of God came upon her; she's been standing there all the while. She couldn't stand for 5 minutes". Benny breathes on her and she falls easily, which is to be expected; she probably needed to rest anyway. She testifies to her healing which amounts to feeling strongly touched by God and being able to stand longer than usual, which can be explained in one word: adrenaline. Pastor Benny tries to make her fall a second time by touching her chin but she doesn't go down, and he moves on. I feel sorry for her. Pastor Chris is still looming ominously behind Benny, by the way.
[1:56:17] A man comes up. Sinach: "Pastor, he had diabetes for 23 years, and he had a sharp pain at his back," Benny pushes the middle-aged man in native attire in the chin and he steps back, but he doesn't fall. "...but as we were praying, he got healed by the power of God", she concludes. Benny pushes him again but he just won't fall. Benny asks if the pain is gone but he's whisked away after bending forward twice.
[1:56:55] Pastor Tom introduces a young lady, "she had cervical spandulozi spondylosis for four years! She had that collar on her neck; she just took it off now! For four years, she could not turn her neck! The power of God came upon her and she took off her collar" Benny pushes her very gently, careful not to aggravate the neck problem. She falls down gently on her ass, which is convenient. He does it 3 more times and then they lay her gently on the floor. I hope she doesn't injure her neck further before putting the neck brace back on. He watches her as she lays on the floor and asks her what she's feeling. She cries and says "fire". They lift her up and he slays her again. Hard to watch.
[1:59:03] Sinach introduces a tall lady: "For over 9 years she's had her sinuses .. her nostrils have been blocked. But tonight, as you were praying, she felt a chill and then her nostrils opened up. She's healed by the power of God. Praise the Lord". Sinach knows this business. I doubt that the girl had been breathing through her mouth for 9 years. It's likely that her condition comes and goes and just happened to go during the service. Pastor Hinn tries to touch her chin but like miracle girl #3 she staggers backwards but refuses to fall. She also happens to have a very short skirt on. Benny asks her what she feels and she says she feels her clothes on fire. Benny waves his hands at the ushers behind her and they all fall. This reassures us that the power is still there despite the people who refused to fall down. Now Benny waves his hands at the lady but she still doesn't go down. If only they remembered to bring sheets to cover the legs of women in short skirts.
[2:00:11] Benny steps down the pulpit to wave his hands at the people waiting to testify. Most of them fall down but some remain standing. Benny Hinn actually says, "I'm feeling it now". He tries to do it a second time, but this time, only the ushers are affected by the waving. I guess the anointing is more effective at tripping people when they don't see it coming. One of the people who fell the first time, a robust Asian girl, is helped unto the pulpit. Pastor Tom says she fell down while playing football and injured her leg, and was constantly in pain. "Now she can kneel with it; the power of God came upon her. (long pause) Now the pains are gone." Benny Hinn slays her easily. He says, "don't touch her guys"; the black usher unwisely steps away but the white one saves her from aggravating her injury with the fall.
This is as far as I can go. What's your verdict? Personally, I'm disappointed. Benny can barely make people fall, not to mention healing them.
Hmmmm.... very childish! You know nothing. No offense please.
hurgusteena: Good morning fellow nairalanders, I got this message dis morning:
Hello AUGUSTINA, your cv has been approved, you are resheduled for an interview with the MD of Supreme resources Nig Ltd for a partime vacancy under our travelling unit on tuesday 13/12/2016, at 65 L monarch plaza 6th floor, off salvation b/stop opebi Ikeja Lagos by 9am prompt Rc:8022/DGT www.srpc.com.
Did anyone get this text too? Dunno if they r d same GNLD people. Pls I need a reply ASAP... Thanks
Of course they are GNLD souls. So exasperating. Please ignore their messages.
MichaelKadi: God has blessed me and i want to do a giveaway.....this forum has been a blessing in many ways, so i thought i should contribute my little.
lady2lady: What's Bullshit ?? Don't you know the Disadvantages of Having Sex bfore marriage?? What if on the process the condom torn .. Isn't it a disgrace.
Some will say 'when you have sex the first time,you won't get pregnant' .. Everyone's system aren't the same.
post=51394800]4Years and you didn't give him the pussý? Jesus...This guy's mother need to start prayers... They don put her pikin head for yansh [/quote]You mentioned Jesus while giving an immoral statement and advice
RadicallyBlunt: Did anybody in the church offend you? If church members have betrayed you before then I can say maybe your experience is why u stay home.
But if that's not the case, it means you've not counted all the cost for being born again. In fact being among the brethren is something your heart would be so excited about. David said ..."I was glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord"
IamProfessorval: To the church, you happily give your last dime. When you pray, even the devil is scared. You can recite the whole bible without blinking an eye. During fundraisings, you try to give more than the last giver, So that your pastors may rain prayers on you.
Yet your neighbour goes hungry. Your servants, you treat cruelly. Your neighbor's predicament doesn't move you, You only go to church in search of miracles. You all are hypocrites.
Jesus chose to be poor- Sooo poor he used a borrowed donkey. Yet your pastors now cruise in private jets, And hold service in five star hotels.
On the last day, the one you call Lord will deny you, because you're something else, Not Christians.
firstking01: This is my personal experience since i encountered God...
1.GOD's PRESENCE...
His presence goes with you everywhere...before you arrive at a place He's there already waiting for you...remember the story of moses and the burning bush and what follows after his encounter with God...see exodus 3..
2.GOD SPEAKS TO YOU...
He speaks to you...now at this level since you just encountered Him there's one way He'd be communicating with you and that's in the dream...recall the story of joseph in genesis 37...actually God speaks to us in mainly 4 ways...and they are...
*Through constantly studying His word
*Audibly speaking...this one is for a spiritually mature christian.
*Through His servants...
*And through dreams and visions..recall our brother john in the island of patmos where he recieve the vision and revelation to write the book of revelation...see revelation 1:9.
3.HE CHASTISES YOU
I can remember some years back whenever i sin it's either He(God) will appear in the dream and gave me a stern warning or He send somebody to me to tell me the dangers and implications of what i'm doing....on one scenario i was carried away i didn't know what came over me i found myself masturbating and after the who shit i went to church that evening only for my pastor to loudly utter these words from the pulpit and i qoute, "There's a young man here who's into the act of masturbation God is warning you to stop it"....after service that evening i was so ashamed of myself and i immediately repented and asked Him for mercy...there are too many instances but will keep it for another day....for those who say masturbation is not a sin, there you have it...dnt ask me where it is in the bible cos it's a SIN…
4.HIS GLORY... One thing you will experience when you genuinely encounter God is His glory...everything you do will be excellent...you will become an essential commodity like money, generally accepted by everyone...anything you lay your hands on will be prosperous...you will become outstanding amidst your peers...and a lot of transformation will take place in your life both spiritually and physically...you know the story of saul on his way to damascus...see acts 9..
5.GOD ANSWERS YOUR PRAYERS SPEEDLY
He answers your prayers speedly cos at that period His eyes are on you and His ears are open to your prayers...He gives you insight whenever you open the bible to study...
N/B, the above is just what i personally have experienced since i came to know HIM...i have more experiences tho but that will be a story for another...i'm sure those who have genuinely encountered God can relate to this, i'm so sure about that...
hahn: Lol. As a Christian how can you even claim porn is bad since Jehovah watches everyone in the world having sex? Can you imagine how often it ma5turbate5 daily?
Despite our religious fanaticism we watch more porn than even Americans
And what percentage of these Nigerians watching porn are Christians, Muslims or atheists. Your guess is as good as mine.
God burnt hundreds of women and children in Sodom and Gomorrah but didn't bat an eyelid when Lot slept with his two daughters in an obvious incestial party. What is the morality in that?
As far as I am concerned, masturbating is cool. It is way better than adultery or rape, something which religious people indulge in often(just check front page and see how many Christians rape and are caught committing adultery), as it is cheaper. Why be bothered about what other people do in their privacy anyway when it doesn't bother anyone?
As regards porn, watching it is cool even for married couples to fulfill their sexual fantasies but I do have a thing against the way it is produced considering that some of the girls are forced or deceived into it.
OP you are definitely right. I understand your plight, but I don't know what to say now because that one year is a time of broken trusts and broken promises. I believe your girl would have made bunches of promises. However, in this case, It's gonna take a lot of almighty love for her to wait for you during NYSC. You will have to pay the price of visiting her often... it won't be easy though..... True love sha OP you are definitely right.
