Matthew 6:7 which states, "And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do, for they think they will be heard because of their many words".

According to Jesus Christ of Israel, in order to pray, a descendant of Israel who also happened to be born-again, only needed repeat the contents of Matthew 6 vs 9-13. The same passage explains that vain and repetitive prayers would be about the prayers offered by the Pharisees... not in line with the commands of Jesus Christ, i.e. set against the Law of God.

Omo, you go like to argue o. It's of sizzling foods. It explained that sizzling foods are served very hot, smoking, steaming whatsoever.

Sizzling(steaming) food is not the same as smoldering(smoking) food, which is what the OP looks more of. If you are not aware of the difference between the appearance of vapor coming out of a steaming pot of beans, for example, and smoke coming out of a burning pot of beans, then you shouldn't even bother engaging abeg!

Antichristian2:
Won't Jesus still be coming to kill all these his enemies later? Audio prayer!

While I am not here to hold brief for OP and his religious mashup there, I would like to point out here that your enemies are not necessarily Jesus Christ of Israel's enemies, though. According to Jesus Christ of Israel, His enemies are those descended from Israel who would choose to use His name for their benefit and glory.

....

LOL.... Alchohol was created by YHWH for the pleasure of His people. Even Jesus Christ of Israel drank it to the point that He was labeled a wine bibber and a glutton by His enemies.

Religion, which is the source of your particular bias against alcohol, is a scam!

Adakintroy:
➜You derailing the topic. I think she was referring to every woman rich background or not. Its was not about poverty. But a consciousness to work non the less before entering marriage. I think its important but not utmost. Even in the west working women is what men dont need, rather a stay at home wife that will be faithful and dedicated to raising the children. Both patents working is not always a gain.

Now I am certain I am talking to someone who is literally off the benders!

Antichristian2:
➜Makes some sense! So the parables are to sieve out some people...?

The parables reiterate the facts revealed through the prophets before Jesus Christ of Israel's time, which is that not all of the flock of Israel — Jacob — will be redeemed. The final sifting, according to Jesus Christ, is done by way of the judgment of Jesus Christ, which involves the angels first gathering the goats and then the sheep. YHWH's judgment which took place over 1900 years ago seems to have been the beginning of the sifting.

killuminati:

The picture you posted there is not of smoke/smoldering food but steam.

➜I really don't know what we are arguing about here. Do what works for you and advice people around you to do whatever. If I know a young lady or man in their 20s with a good job, and has a good, kind partner with similar or better financial standing they want to do life with I will encourage them.

The "do what works for you" mentality is to blame for the current state of poverty in Nigeria, with over 170,000,000 Nigerians living in abject poverty and that number projected to balloon to over 300,000,000 before 2050.

What is made obvious by these facts is that it is time to re-educate the Nigerian girl and woman, to cause them to realize that they are responsible for lifting themselves and their children — many generations after — from poverty. As a matter of fact, what is clear is that the generational curse of poverty, which so many are afraid of, is caused by women who are raised in poverty entering into marriage agreements without first conquering poverty. Yeah, the ones literally most responsible for spreading the curse are the women.

Consider a case where a woman from a poverty background is impregnated then abandoned either before marriage or after— it does not matter how long the marriage lasted— by her lover. She is left to fend for her child and is unable to provide it the best life possible as a result of her poverty situation. She might try to work hard at that point to escape poverty, but the fact that she has another mouth to feed and cater to will always limit her abilities at success. The vast majority who find themselves in these situations not only never escape poverty but are likely to raise children possessed by the poverty way of reasoning and processing life, leading to repeat of the same patterns in their own lives.

➜That is steam, not smoke. Go to Delta state, especially Urhobo land, this is a common delicacy in the villages. A native man in urhobo land will prefer to use the éwéré pot than a breakable plate.

Hot pots are common everywhere, not just in Urhobo land. The picture makes it look so much like smoke and not steam at all.

Afolue:
➜upon that still. Na women marriage favour pas. E no help man by any standards. Even in wealth and poverty. Men are always at the loosing end. Many die before their time!
➜Menopause is the message that keeps ringing in them (the women) when they haven’t had the tot towards the direction of having kids

. Society, powered by men, made it a norm for men to take care of women in marriage. So, if you have a problem with that, go and face the men, not the women.

2. Menopause? Science and medicine have made it possible for women to have children even past age 60, so menopause is no longer a valid reason for any woman to choose to enter marriage before first pulling herself out of poverty.

bengdededeng:
➜It's because of the clay pot...as a science inclined human...I know that clay has a great resistance to heat...so the heat of the soup from the pot still remains...that soup can last hours still very hot...apart from that...I know this too as an isoko man...banga soup wey Dem put for afere nor dey quick cold...the soup can continue boiling in that same plate for almost an hour

Pay close attention to the question asked. I asked why the soup looked like it was smoking — not steaming—so telling me stories about a clay pot was not an answer. Hot pots are popular all over. Again, that there in the picture looks a lot like smoke and not steam.

bigpicture001:
➜If u put same soup inside the other kind of pot u know.. it will stop boiling in less than 10sec after getting it off the fire... ND then starts cooling off... Yes, there will b steam, but not even the size of a quarter of what u currently see in the picture... So I repeat the black pot is reason for the large steam not the soup

. That looks a lot more like it is smoldering— that in the picture looks a lot like smoke, not steam—not boiling!

idahme:
➜You are not smart, the reason for getting money supposedly is to achieve financial independence so you can cater for yourself and then in your 30s you still run into what you were afraid to run into in your 20s looking for a man to sponsor your financial liabilities, so i ask what then is the essence of rubbishing marriage and depending on a man in 20s when you will still run to that dame dependency when you are in your 30s?
➜This is the simple reason you see ladies in their 30s and 40s crying on social media after having the money but no man comes their way because they have passed their peak sexual market value, no one wants a woman has 98% pf her eggs dead. When will you ladies learn? Men and women aren't the same, the moment you build your life as a man forget it just continue to live that life as a man because that's how it will be.

This question of yours, in the context of this topic, makes absolutely no sense of any kind. The argument here is that women forgo marriage in their 20s in order to spend that time bettering themselves and gaining financial dependence — escaping poverty— before they finally settle down in their 30s. If such a woman decides even then to find a financially well off man who can cater to her needs, what part of that is deceit, particularly since society considers it a norm that a man take care of his wife's needs in marriage?

2. Avoid gobbledegook abeg! I can't stand it!

HaneefahRN:
➜Poverty can follow anyone regardless of what age they chose to marry. The economy of the country doesn't make it easy for anyone

Statistics show that the chances of poverty happening to those who first established themselves financially before marriage are significantly lower than poverty remaining the lot of those who entered into marriage while living in poverty. Again, you have Nigeria as a test case to work with. It is a country where the vast majority of those stuck in poverty today were not only raised in poverty themselves but also chose to get married and start a family before escaping the clutches of poverty. What we have today, with over 50 million families living under abject poverty and with many others struggling to keep from being dragged below by it, is not by chance.

Poverty does not follow people. Rather, poverty happens to people, and it does so in the form of shackles — their decision-making abilities, outlook, and way of life are impacted by it. But the good is that people can, even then, through self education/awareness, individuals can decide against poverty.

Afolue:
what if husband no gree come when time reach?

She will have her money to keep caring for herself with until one finally shows up, I guess! Better than living in poverty with a man and even children before that point in time.

IbnB:
Even if you give them thirty years, Nigerian girls won't bring anything of value to their marriage

So long as men are willing to marry them without needing to bring anything of value to the table, why shouldn't women freely take advantage? Focus your angst on your fellow men and leave the women, abeg!

TheBillyonaire:
➜You are always thinking about poverty. We are talking about age of marriage. Carry your poverty mind comot for here.

It is this way of reasoning that landed over 170,000,000 million Nigerians smack dab emersed in poverty today without a way out, for many generations to come!

TheBillyonaire:
➜Our mothers got married in their teens, even before 20s and their marriages are very stable. So you are wrong on that

And Nigeria has over 170,000,000 NIgerians living under abject poverty by this generation as a result of the mythical beliefs you hold. Stability in poverty is a delusion.

bigpicture001:
➜It's because of the black pot... The soup is either cooked or warmed with the pot... It's a cook and eat pot...

So, it isn't the food, but the black pot that is producing the smoke(not steam)?

nedekid:
➜The soup is served on a hot plate. The plate is preheated, usually made of earthen material or iron.

The plate is the source of the smoke(not steam)?

Tunaji:
I know you're a veteran on this forum and you're probably trouble -shooting. I have an addendum to my last post, you can go and read and it goes thus: he who has ears let him heed what the spirit is telling the church. Don't argue for argument sake.

Please take your semi-illiterate drivel to someone else!

HaneefahRN:
Got married in my 20s and making my money. Just ensure you get your education or handwork or business rooted and don't marry a weapon fashioned against you

Many women who also married early had or got themselves an education and also boast of a ministore where they sell goods or maybe even a market stall — handwork —but poverty continues to follow them no matter what.

DigitB:
➜We men are logical all the time.
Most women claim they don't want to marry until they make their own money. Ask them what they're doing to make the money and you'll find out they're making chin-chin, small chops , cake, makeup and small tailoring then augmenting the income with hookup and hopping from one divck to another.
A woman marrying early will help her to align her goals properly. She don't have to keep worrying about men-catching most of the time. With her husband's support she can be whatever she wish to be.

Let me be sure that I get this right! In Nigeria today, the vast majority of women live below the poverty lines both in marriage and outside where they are generally in poverty as a result of being raised in poverty. We are talking many generations mired in poverty today — a population of well over 100 million women in Nigeria. But here you are attempting to convince us, against all logic, mind you, that by marrying and bearing children in poverty, a woman aligns her goals properly?

Are you people OK in the head at all?

➜Meat could have been fresh out of a grilling machine...

Grilled meat that was burnt to charcoal?

Tunaji:
➜Where do you live? What is the source of your statistic? World Bank or IMF?
Does $1 actually have the same purchasing power as 1,500 naira, its monetary equivalent? I mean what is your yardstick? Is poverty in inner city DC the same as poverty in Kwara for example? See, I'm itinerant to some extent, and on ground in several places in Nigeria, the kind of life Nigerians have enjoyed in this 25 odd years of democracy, they would not have enjoyed it in a military rule. So yes, things are getting better.

What in the world is all of this rambling for?

Tunaji:
➜You are preaching 60s, 70s and 80s gospels in 2025. A lot of Nigerians are getting an education now and people's prospects are not what it used to be: people are getting jobs, the uneducated and the half-educated are trading heavily and making more money than the white collars ones. People are in political parties and are doing well, making money off politicking. In short people ' s lot have gotten better in Nigeria. So the gospel to get marry early is a good one.

60s, 70s, 80s, yet we know that over 170 million Nigerians currently live in poverty despite this claimed education and jobs you say they have?

Are you OK?

killuminati:
It's called "Sizzling"

Sizzling produces smoke and not steam?

Misterone:
This is banga soup in a drying pot called éwéré

Does the use of a drying pot cause the meat to smoke(not steam) even after it has been placed in the soup?

DigitB:
➜Another proof that most women are empty brained. We all know the hóre is just chasing clout sha. Women should get married immediately they reach 18. She can still go on and conquer the world in any field she desires. Science, technology, humanities or whichever. A woman can achieve anything...

Millions of girls who have known nothing but poverty in their lives should go on to marry when they reach 18 and cement their lives of poverty and that of their offspring as a result. Many of you don't seem able to reason logically with your brains.

Tunaji:
➜Utter nonsense! This lady is basically advising people to marry when their libido has decreased. Make money but make sure to marry in your 20s please, especially after school. She probably didn't know the saying that goes thus:" A young man's wife is his bedmate, A middle-aged man's wife is his companion An old man's wife is his nurse"
➜You don't want your spouse to be your companion and nurse only, marry him or her when the spontaneity, libido and love are still strong.

Your kind of advise is the major reason why over 170 million Nigerians are currently living below abject poverty today, with many of them having been caged in poverty by their parents/ancestors before them.

2. Companion and nurse in poverty? How many people living in abject poverty in Nigeria today are enjoying said marriage?

Empresa:
She is trying to console herself why she is still single and past her 20s

She is doing so by applying wisdom, something many don't consider at all. That is a good thing !

occfx:
➜According to the topic, she said make enough money. So my reply is focused on enough money which I said you cannot gauge.
➜In fact, it is not early marriage that makes people poor if that's where you are confused.

I think by "enough money," she probably meant something along the lines of escaping the poverty threshold completely before then proceeding to raise kids.

2. Over 170 million Nigerians today live below the poverty line, many of them as a result of poverty having been passed down to them by their parents/ancestors. This means the vast majority of Nigerians currently in their 20s are living under the poverty line, and many of them believe that somehow marriage will magically save them from a life of poverty, a notion that defies reality.

Early marriage, in and of itself, isn't a problem at all. Rich people, for example, are known to arrange early marriages for their children with other rich people, and these marriages typically solidify their wealth and connections as a result. However, for people coming from a poverty background, early marriage mostly serves to exacerbate the condition, propelling it to a generational status in their lives and that of their offspring.
