Amen Amen. If you take a look at the post above yours, you'll see why this testimony is made at a perfect time. I had once talked to you about God's timing here, he brings things to perfection in His time. Testimonies shall abound in the lives of many who Joined in this prayers. I rejoice and bless God with You.

Glory to Jesus! Honour to Mary!

Good day brethren, a splendid Sunday to all.

Amen

Yes U've talked about timing in response to me at different times.
Waiting for God's will in anything can be very difficult but when it comes to pass, u'll realize the wait was worth it. Only then u will see why he didn't intervene in a hurry. And your joy will just be complete.

Thanks a lot bro. God bless you for me and for us all

Good morning brethren
I just want to announce that my special prayer intention during the just concluded novena has been answered.
May all glory, honour, power, adoration, thanksgiving, be ascribed unto The king of kings, the Lord of Lords, the alpha and the omega, the ruler of rulers,the beginning and the end, the first and the last, the awesome wonder,the great provider, the mighty in battle, the defense of the defenseless, the father of the fatherless, the one who was, who is and who is to come, the one who died and is alive again, the hope of the righteous, the good shepherd.
(To mention but a few )


I'm blessed and highly favored to be a part of this wonderful family


I pray that the same God, (according to his will) treat all of our requests with favour through Christ our Lord. Amen

Glory to Jesus, Honour to Mary.

Omg This is so so sad. An innocent baby in a cruel world where our leaders don't care much

SalC:

Ubenedictus:
lol,

a little correction, they didn't buy toys for me, they bought "yege yege" (it is an interesting equipment that makes sound when shaken), at the time toys were too expensive and my family couldn't really afford them with a smile. Actually my mum named me "born into a good life" in faith not because it was the reality at the time.
I later met those plastic non-detachable toys when I was about 7yrs (they made them with plastic head and they looked dressed) we punched holes in their head and fixed then with grass an then later with attachment. Later came the detachable clothable toys but by then we had passed the toy age.

Toy na for agebor children

I think I know it
Sorry na, at least you had something na. lol


Btw the word ajebor could be said to be relative. U could've passed as dangote's son then compared to some others.
For example, According to his aunt, Syncan only used toys that a good hearted neighbor dashed him at the age of 8.
So u can see the poor guy didn't even have the luxurious yege yege

Ubenedictus:
dem don begin change bible inorder to invest in their stomach.

There is God o...

I won't be the first

Growing up and until this day, I've always been taught that Jesus was poor; Born in a manger, Was the son of a carpenter. He was homeless sef
In his own words Matt 8:20 the son of man has nowhere to lay his head.
When the tax collectors came to collect half shekel from him, he didn't seem to have it but had to perform miracle to raise one.

(24 When they reached Capernaum, the collectors of the half-shekel came to Peter and said, 'Does your master not pay the half-shekel?'

25 'Yes,' he replied, and went into the house. But before he could speak, Jesus said, 'Simon, what is your opinion? From whom do earthly kings take toll or tribute? From their sons or from foreigners?'

26 And when he replied, 'From foreigners,' Jesus said, 'Well then, the sons are exempt.

27 However, so that we shall not be the downfall of others, go to the lake and cast a hook; take the first fish that rises, open its mouth and there you will find a shekel; take it and give it to them for me and for yourself.')


But what I hear these days is that Jesus was very rich. The argument is that "for Roman soldiers to cast lots for his garment, it means it must have been very expensive. And for him to afford such, he had to be very rich".

Now is there any chance that they cast lots just because it was already meant to be so? Is there a chance they cast lots because there was no point tearing it to pieces n sharing it?

Ok Even if the garment was as expensive as they paint it, Is it enough to conclude that some is very rich just because of what they're wearing? Have we not seen people wearing expensive clothes even when their account is in red? Syncan is one example Wait until u see my sister Salc in church on Sundays,you'll understand what I mean

I need clarification on this from brethren o incase I'm missing something

@PriceOfGarri


As we the pray for you today, may The Lord guide you in all your ways. May he direct your paths. When The Lord speaks, may he give you the grace to listen and obey. May he cause his face to shine upon you.
Whenever you call, may The Lord answer you with his mercy and favour. When you need help, may the help you need be readily available to you. And May the wish of the enemy upon your lives never come to pass.
I ask these through Christ our Lord. Amen

There's not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
No, not one! no, not one!
None else could heal all our souls' diseases:
No, not one! no, not one!

Jesus knows all about our struggles;
He will guide 'til the day is done:
There's not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
No, not one! no, not one!

No friend like Him is so high and holy,
No, not one! no, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one! no, not one!

There's not an hour that He is not near us,
No, not one! no, not one!
No night so dark, but His love can cheer us,
No, not one! no, not one!

Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him?
No, not one! no, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
No, not one! no, not one!

Was e'er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! no, not one!
Will He refuse us the bliss of heaven?
No, not one! no, not one!




If there's any rule against repeating this hymn, I would've broken it many times already very inspirational and on point

Novena prayers

O God, infinite beauty. Wretched as we are, we approach in humility your throne, with thanksgiving and pettition. Thanksgiving for the numerous mercies received from you, and petition for the many needs that weigh heavily on us. Look kindly upon our prayers, especially that of Aizenosa,PriceOfGarri and Fembleez1/Eunice who we pray for today, and of mine(you may add yours), through the merits of the passion of your son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for us dearest mother Mary, as we offer you this ten roses of hail mary, with eyes filled with hope and fillial love. Amen.

10 Hail Marys.

Psalm 138
I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; before the “gods” I will sing your praise.
I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness,for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.
When I called, you answered me; you greatly emboldened me.
May all the kings of the earth praise you, Lord,when they hear what you have decreed.
May they sing of the ways of the Lord, for the glory of the Lord is great.
Though the Lord is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life.
You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand you save me.
The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.


Special request for Aizenosa ...Psalm 7.



O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
O LORD my God, if I have done this;
if there be iniquity in my hands;
if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy)
let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth,
and lay mine honor in the dust.
Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies:
and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
The LORD shall judge the people:
judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness,
and according to mine integrity that is in me.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just:
for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. Rev. 2.23
My defense is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword;
he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;
he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity,
and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness:
and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.


Special request for PriceOfGarri. Psalm 118

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good;because his mercy endureth for ever.
Let Israel now say,
that his mercy endureth for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
Let them now that fear the LORD say,
that his mercy endureth for ever.
I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear:
what can man do unto me?
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
All nations compassed me about:
but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
They compassed me about,yea, they compassed me about:
but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
They compassed me about like bees;
they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
The right hand of the LORD is exalted:
the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
The LORD hath chastened me sore:
but he hath not given me over unto death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will go into them,
and I will praise the LORD: this gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me,
and art become my salvation.
The stone which the builders refused
is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD's doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Save now, O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.
God is the LORD, which hath showed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords,
even unto the horns of the altar.
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee:
thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Amen


Special hymn for Fembleez1/Eunice.

1 Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain;
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.


Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.


2 Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed His beams around me. [Refrain]


3 Near the cross! O lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o'er me. [Refrain]


4 Near the cross! I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever;
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river. [Refrain]

italo:
No I'm not at Capital Oil...lol.

Psalm 138, please.

God bless you.

Lol. I didn't know where else u could be na
Thanks dear. Hope you're aware we're already using psalm 138 as the standard psalm for the novena?

Anyway there's no rule against using psalm 138 as a special psalm too.
Noted n updated. God bless u too dear

I have a feeling that uncle Italo has been at capital oil gas station all day looking for cheap fuel Hence I'll go ahead n chose his special psalm for tomorrow except I hear from him before midnight

Rich4god:
she changes profession quite often...

Thanks dear. That explains a lot
From now on, when I hear doctor, I'll remember to ask 'which type?'

Native doctors exists too

Rich4god:
we don't use this type of toy over here... What we use is chaka chaka....

Lwkm here

I'm sure Syncan n Uben can relate to that

SalC:
Why only me no go waka come when others seem to be defying God.?

Ah this one no be doctor matter o, I know of a doctor with 5 wives and over 20 children, and oh he's igbo

I see. No wonder they say 'Show me your friends.......

U go fear mentor na

SalC:
Better though. Lol @ willy willy toys

Abeg joor, who told you so? All I know is am obeying God's instruction.

In a world where these "modern couples" want to give birth to just 2 children, how then can we multiply?

If every couple keep giving birth to just 2 children, we will either diminish or remain stagnant and I don't want that!

In other words Other couples have refused to have many kids hence na only you waka come
Last I checked u had 13 and still counting

@Rich4god I thought ur mumsy is a doctor

Rich4god:
POS ke... The baby don dey carry ATM card....

Na so we see am. This is just one example.And it actually opens n closes like it's real. Smh

SalC:
When God said we should go into the world and multiply, he wasn't joking

Btw am not a toy lover and certainly very selective about those especially the types Syncan and Ubenedictus used while growing up. I mean those baby-like toys with flashy eyes as if they got possessed last night

Nah these ones are very scientific humongous toys like real piano, laptops, cashiers POS among others. The only issue is the color.smh

Please o don't Let Uben n Syncan catch u first with those their 1970 willy willy toys


Now bring your ear close* when God says 'be fruitful n multiply' no be only you they give that instruction na. So why only u go de multiply everything

SalC:
Lol see finishing give me toys?

No be u de born pikin every year

Ubenedictus:
Pls I have gat a quick question.


I just came out of a bit hostile discussion when d guy i was discussing with thinks, it is wrong for a male to address another male as "my dear" in informal discussion unless they are both gay.

So question, is anyone aware of any rule that probit the use of my dear in male to male discussion?

This is the first time i am hearing this, I use my dear pretty frequently in informal discussions. Infact my family has a familiarity with the address. I want to know if it has assumed any gay baggage.

I've not heard this before however I'm not surprised.

I met a woman that just delivered her second child(boy). This lady had car filled with toys that she wanted to give to anyone that wants them. I'm not talking about small small toys ;the type they managed to buy for Ubenedictus in 1968, nah not those ones. I mean very expensive toys like pianos, baby laptops, all sorts.

Kamsy: Aww congratulations on ur new born
Neighbor(pointing at a car full of nice toys ): Thanks. I'm trying to clean up and I'm giving these away
Kamsy(thinking chai I wish I can hijack these o and sell give to Salc ) : Really? These r beautiful and expensive toys! Why? Didn't u just have another baby?
Neighbor: Yea I had a boy.
Kamsy(looking at her lost): I don't understand
Neighbor: these are girls toys, they're pink pink
Kamsy:


The conversation left me kinda confused. On baby toys too?
On a good day Wetin concern small pikin with gay pink n no pink. In 1969 when Syncan was born, colors didn't matter much


Nlers will say end time things. Hence I expect more of these wierd conversations

Ubenedictus:
wicked! You dey carry spoon waka?

Remind me never to invite you to a meal.

I don't remember jnrbayano inviting me.
My brother's food is mine too cos my brother n I are one

Continues reading John 17:21

@Jennydoris
As we pray for today, may The Lord treat our prayers with mercy and favor. And may The Lord who knows all your heart desires supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
You shall not die but live to declare the goodness of The Lord in the land of the living. I ask these through Christ our Lord. Amen

Special request. . . Psalm 91
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,even the Most High, thy habitation;
there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee,to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him, and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him,and show him my salvation.
