GeneralShepherd: There was no miracle the moisture in your phone dried and the phone came up simple. Sometimes after your phone is immersed in water,water lodges into IC's and shortcircuit them! If the IC doesn't damage from short circuit,the phone will come back when the moisture dries!

As for the TV,there is a component that is not making proper contact! With use after awhile solder in electronic components become loose,so when you kick it. The contacts make and hence the TV comes on! No miracle

Bless you for this!

Strauskhan1: If the OP is slightly inane, should the mods too?

Exactly. What happened to Nairaland?

Now these are the kind of threads that should always make frontpage. The ones that when you read will either inspire you to act positively within your immediate environment or encourage you to be a source of inspiration to those under you.

Not some stupeed thread on demons and objects,techno or complaining that internet speed is too fast!

Rubbish post! If the OP were my ELDER brother (1st born) and I'm the last of four kids I would still slap some sense into him.

Themaingate: FIRST paragraph says he is 15 years

LAST paragraph says he is 25years

SMH for you!

Bane vs Joker: It's really depressing. I got tired of complaining and just accepted that Nigeria is cursed with an overwhelming percentage of citizens with single-digit IQs.

My brother, it's really sad!

Some people don't even read posts and understand before commenting. One is asking if Cody Walker has acted before, helloooooo, he's a stuntman and has acted in movies before, check the last paragraph! The other one says Cody is 15 years old when the original post says 15 years younger meaning he's about 25.
Sometimes you wonder how these people passed through school,assimilate information from holy books or digest critical information at work. #SMH

Came across this article which to me explains better why the disciples who didn't carry swords at all but had sword on them the night Jesus christ was arrested. Take your time to read it

Luke 22:35-38 is often cited to challenge the Christian pacifist perspective. In this passage, Jesus instructed his disciples to buy swords, amongst other items.

Luke 22:35-38: Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered. He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. For it is written: ‘he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That is enough,” he replied.

First we must ask, why did Jesus want them to buy swords? It seems unlikely that Jesus’ instructions were intended to prepare his disciples for armed conflict and self defense, because two swords does not seem to be “enough,” as Jesus put it, to defend twelve men. In fact, in the passage itself Jesus explained the purpose for the swords. Jesus instructed his disciples to buy the swords, “for it is written: ‘he was numbered with the transgressors.’”

Here, Jesus referenced Isaiah 53:12, which contains one of the many Old Testament prophesies concerning the life of the Messiah. Jesus wanted the swords present when he was arrested, because the presence of the swords would indicate to those arresting him that he was one of the “transgressors,” that he was leading a violent rebellion. Jesus again referenced this while he was being arrested:


Matthew 26:55-56: At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”

In this passage, Jesus acknowledged that all this was taking place so “that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.”

The disciples did not understand this, and as Jesus was being arrested, Peter attempted to defend him by reaching for one of the swords, and striking the servant of the High Priest, cutting off his ear. Jesus miraculously healed the wound, and then rebuked Peter:

Matthew 26:52-53: “Put your sword back in its place… for all who take the sword will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will provide me with more than twelve legions of angels?”

Peter’s actions could certainly be considered a just use of defensive violence. Jesus, an innocent man, was about to be given into the hands of an angry mob. Using one of the swords Jesus told him to buy, Peter attempted to rescue his friend. Jesus, however, rebuked Peter and rebuked this use of defensive violence. Later at his trial before Pilate, Jesus made a comment which explained his condemnation of Peter’s actions:

John 18:36: My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight…
If Jesus’ kingdom were of this world, his servants could use defensive violence when attacked. However, Jesus’ kingdom is not of this world.

Many argue that Jesus had to die on the cross, and this is why his disciples could not defend him. It must be noted, however, that the reason Jesus gave for not fighting was not that he had to die on the cross, but that his kingdom was not of this world. In contrast to the kingdoms of the world, Jesus’ servants do not fight; His kingdom is built around love and the love of enemies. Jesus specifically forbade Peter from using the sword, but his wording was universal:

Matthew 26:52: “Put your sword back in its place… for all who take the sword will die by the sword.”

This same denunciation of “the sword” is found in the book of Revelation, specifically applied to all followers of Christ:

Revelation 13:9-10: He who has an ear, let him hear… He who kills with the sword will be killed with the sword. This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints.

In this passage, the same comment Jesus made prohibiting the defense of himself is explicitly applied to all “who has an ear.” Indeed, refraining from using violent self-defense against an approaching enemy does require “patient endurance and faithfulness.”

Jesus’ followers appear to have gotten the message, because although Jesus told them to buy swords in Luke 22, we never again read of the disciples carrying swords or physically defending themselves. Acts 8:1 tells us that a “great persecution broke out against the church.” Throughout the rest of the book of Acts, and the rest of the New Testament in general, we read of Christians facing persecution from mobs, religious authorities, and governmental authorities. Most of the Apostles met a martyr’s death, but instead of using defensive violence, they showed love towards their enemies.

Acts 7:60: …“Lord, do not hold this sin against them!”…

Although faced with great persecution, the Apostles followed the lead of Jesus and Stephen, facing their enemies with love while rejecting the sword. Here are the Apostles in their own words:

Romans 12:14: Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

Romans 12:17-21: Do not repay anyone evil for evil… live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink…” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

1 Thessalonians 5:9: God did not appoint us to wrath…

1 Thessalonians 5:15: Make sure that no one back evil for evil, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

James 1:20: The wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

1 Peter 3:9-11: Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing …turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Godysien: WARNING ALERT!!! In the name above every other names (JESUS) be careful with this great man of God. God's word said" Honour thy father and mother (including Pst. Adeboye) that thy days may be long on earth. So come back to this thread and make your confessional statement for total forgiveness concerning what you said about Pst. Adeboye OR by the unction that functions in Pst. Adeboye's life as long as Jehovah God lives your days shall be cut short. Take it or leave it, Jesus is Lord!

Clap for yourself! Keep twisting God's word you hear? You will tell me which verse in the Bible has "Honour your father,your mother and Pastor Adeboye'' in it.

The vatican's response to the award is on point, read the following "But if the choice of Person of Year helps spread the message of the gospel-- a message of God's love for everyone-- he will certainly be happy about that."

From a fellow bachelor, you need to blend in small portions instead of dumping the whole pepper+tomatoes into the blender, this allows for even and smoother blending. After blending,place the whole tomatoes+pepper+onion paste in a sieve and let the water drain off. You'll be amazed at how much water will be drained before you place the paste into a cooking pot for proper boiling.

Draining the water through sieving allows you to save time, gas/kerosene and nutrients that would have been lost from over-heating if you had gone from blender straight to the cooking pot.

Data plan starting from #1000 for 10 gig across all telecomms network platform is what we are asking for NCC. Forget all these compression story.

ify84: Bandwidth in Nigeria is an expensive resource,
because most data is transferred wirelessly.

Makes no sense to me, data is transferred wirelessly around the world why is ours different and that expensive.

Ok.

obitee69: 243k...I wrk there

243k ?
Is it Contract staff or entry-level full staff? Left to me I doubt if they pay up to 100 grand sef with the way banks are now.

And it made frontpage.Na wa o

Godwin10: Hey Bro, You sound like the one marking register at heaven's gate... Ignorance ke

No, I sound like the elder brother who should give you a painful knock on the head for starting such a silly thread.

Another stupeed question/thread to join the number of stupeed threads posted on Nairaland daily.

If not that you just want to wallow in ignorance and open thread just for opening sake,you should know that when sex is preached against (not condemned) it is in instances of fornication (between the unmarried), adultery (between married and someone not your spouse) and other instances like rhape,pae.dophilia e.t.c

I just wonder what you people do in church these days that you don't even take time to digest God's word and read in your spare time for better understanding.

And yes everyone enjoys sex including your pastor only it has to be with your wife/husband any contrary view is frowned at.

What is your take, OP?

I think I wait till January 1, 2014. Thank you.
