■ Anytime I see this monorail project on my way to Azikiwe/Aggrey road axis, I wonder about how funds were wasted.

Have you ever in fact taken the monorail yourself?

NIGERIANS have low brain Few years ago we are here telling our brothers from EBONYI that the state doesn't need airport when ENUGU, IMO STATE already has an airport,they abused us today that airport is running at a loss
Imagine building a rail LINE from Abuja to kaduna, instead of LAGOS TO ONITSHA. SEEMS WE ARE MAD IN THIS MIXED COUNTRY

Why aren't the eastern states investing in local rail systems to connect the systems?

■ Let me state here for the records: Jesus is not full of eternal life as supposed. No. He is eternal life personified. You see, there is a great deal of difference for a cup to be full of water than that cup being water itself.
The idea that Jesus is full of eternal implies total measure of the Spirit of life in him. However, this is not the case. The Bible teaches that, "For him whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him" (John 3:34).
■ Also, you were not able to furnish those scriptures which proved that Jesus was anointed from the womb.
■ In addition, Jesus' claim as the begotten Son of God has nothing to do with the anointing. In Philippians 2:7, the Bible teaches that Jesus came to earth as divine human being. But he was without the power to stand in the office of which he ministered until he was anointed.
■ The gospel of Luke said it best, "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee..." (Luke 4:14).
That text imply he was without the Spirit before his baptism. And it was when he had received that Spirit that he declared in verse 18 of Luke 4. " The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me..."
I want to recommend you read my book Breakthrough Corporate Anointing so the Spirit will unpack this truth to you. Thanks

1. You do realize here and now that you just contradicted your initial argument which was that Jesus Christ was anointed by the Spirit earlier? Scripture claims that He was always full of the Spirit of Eternal Life(grace) and the Spirit of Truth from His birth, but you rather claimed He was anointed by at least one of both Spirits when He was baptized.

2. Jesus Christ was never anointed in the womb since He was always — never not been— full of Eternal LIfe(grace) and Truth even from His mother's womb...

14 The Word became a man and lived among us. We saw his divine greatness—the greatness that belongs to the only Son of the Father. The Word was full of grace and truth.
15 John told people about him. He said loudly, “This is the one I was talking about when I said, ‘The one who is coming after me is greater than I am, because he was living before I was even born.’”
16 Yes, the Word was full of grace and truth, and from him we all received one blessing after another. - JOhn 1 vs 14 - 16

Rather, what I said is that Jesus Christ was born a Son of God even from His mother's womb.

30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.
32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”[d]
35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. - Luke 1 vs 30 = 35

There was never a point in time that He was not a Son of God aka full of Life(grace) and Truth.
3. Recall what I said earlier about not adding your own ideas or delusions to what you read.

5 In your life together, think the way Christ Jesus thought.
6 He was like God in every way, but he did not think that his being equal with God was something to use for his own benefit.
7 Instead, he gave up everything, even his place with God. He accepted the role of a servant, appearing in human form. During his life as a man,
8 he humbled himself by being fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death—death on a cross. - Philippians 2 vs 3-8

Paul, in the above passage did not state that Jesus Christ ceased in power nor did he, Paul, claim that He, Jesus Christ, was an ordinary human being. Rather, if you pay close attention, you will see instead that what Paul said is that Jesus Christ humbled Himself under God even though He was God. In essence, the Truth and Life of God are ETERNALLY a part of who Jesus Christ was, is, and will always be.

4. Again, the passage says He returned to Galilee with the power of the Spirit does not mean He never had the same power of the Spirit leading Him before this particular point, nor does it state that the power of the Spirit was not with Him when He was a baby or a child.

14 Jesus went back to Galilee with the power of the Spirit. Stories about him spread all over the area around Galilee.
15 He began to teach in the synagogues, and everyone praised him. - Luke 4 vs 14 - 15

■ That's the primary reason for eko Atlantic.....novice.
To you it's nonsense but for the inhabitants of Lagos state, it was the solution for protecting their ancestral land and billion dollars worth of investments from submerging under the sea. Do you understand?

You actually believe that nonsense reasoning that was fed you? You no know book abi wetin?

What you just said is akin to saying that NewYork city —downtown— was built to stop erosion from reaching the mainland. Only someone with holes in the brain would swallow that nonsense.

forgiveness:
■ You're are not just gullible but also a novice. Lagosians are happy with the project. It has protected them against the sea submerging their forefathers ancestral land and property

Yessshhh! Lagosians are happy with a project that they are neither directly nor indirectly impacted by.

forgiveness:
To curb erosion. Simple and short. If you like call am white elephantiasis project. Owners of properties that were almost submerged into the sea are appreciative of this project.
For your information, it's ppt. The reason the private investors sand filling and building defence wall to protect the seacoast are the owns selling the land and building infrastructures there. Most of you are olodo.

This Olodo keeps repeating this nonsense!

■ I see the lacuna here. You are waiting for scripture to say Jesus was anointed with oil. You see, in the Old Testament, the anointing oil is a type of the Holy Ghost. People in the Old Testament received the Spirit in types and shadows.
■ Remember, David declares, ... "He hath anointed my head with oil, my cup runneth over." In the New Testament, Jesus espoused, "... If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink." (John 7:37)
■ You see, Jesus did not receive the anointing in types and shadows but the Spirit himself in a bodily form, like a dove, descended upon him.
■ Friend, the anointing I'm talking about here is the Spirit of God, which lighted upon Jesus. How do I know this? In Zachariah 4:6 it is written, "... Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts." Also, in Isaiah 19:27 it is written, "... And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing."
■ The anointing is not a bottle of oil upon the head of a man, it is the Spirit of the Lord.

1. Therein lies the problem with the way you lot assess Scripture. You basically give yourselves license to add, remove or change what is written as you please, completely ignoring the fact that even in the Old, God particularly warned people against doing just that.

1. “Now, Israel, listen to the laws and to the commands that I teach you. Obey them and you will live. Then you can go in and take the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.
2 You must not add to what I command you. And you must not take anything away. You must obey the commands of the Lord your God that I have given you. - Deuteronomy 4 vs 1 - 2

...

6 Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. - Proverbs 30 vs 6

2. There is no direct connection between the two statements. Jesus Christ's statement regarding drinking from Him is in regards to Him being the Fountain of Living Water that those who are weary of the Heavy yoke placed on them by the curse of the Old Fountain of Living Water are invited to drink from - Jeremiah 17:13 & John 4:10

3. That is a lie! God never redefined His anointing which is described in detail in HIs Old Law in the way you assume. So this theory of yours is not of Scripture but of your imagining.

4. Please kindly refrain from quoting unrelated scriptures — quoting out of context— particularly in order to confuse yourself with.

6 He said, “This is the message from the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Your help will not come from your own strength and power. No, your help will come from my Spirit.’ This is what the Lord All-Powerful says.
7 That tall mountain will be like a flat place for Zerubbabel. He will build the Temple, and when the most important stone is put in place, the people will shout, ‘Beautiful! Beautiful!’” - Zechariah 4 vs 6 - 7

There is no connection between the message in the above passage to the topic at hand.

22 Israel, your people are as many as the sands of the sea, but only a few of them will be left to come back to God. But before that happens, your country will be destroyed. God has announced that he will destroy the land. And then justice will come into the land like a river flowing full.
23 The Lord God All-Powerful really will destroy this land.
24 The Lord God All-Powerful says, “My people living in Zion, don’t be afraid of Assyria! Yes, he will beat you, and it will be just as the time when Egypt beat you with a stick.
25 But after a short time my anger will stop. I will be satisfied that Assyria has punished you enough.”
26 Then the Lord All-Powerful will beat Assyria with a whip, just as he defeated Midian at Raven Rock. He will punish his enemies, as he did when he raised his stick over the sea and led his people from Egypt.
27 He will take away the troubles Assyria brought you—troubles that are like heavy weights carried with a yoke on your neck. But that yoke will be taken off your neck. The burden will be lifted from your shoulders. - Isaiah 10 vs 22 - 27

Again, there is no connection between the message in the above passage to the topic at hand.

5. Let's stop lying by twisting what Scripture in fact says in order to add our own ideas and delusions between the lines.

She bleeped up big time. The signs were there right from the start! Now 3 innocent kids are involved. My advice, she needs to work harder to increase her income, being an unofficial single mother is no joke. The guy is useless,no arguments. I have no single pity for her, just the innocent children

So many married women in Nigeria are indeed just glorified single mothers. Glorified in the sense that dem carry Mrs. badge by title only and nothing else.

■ I personally don't see Nairaland as a responsible forum, and think it's one of the worst place to bring family issues to for advice

As bad as it may seem here, I actually believe it aptly reflects Nigeria as it is even today.

Tron1:

Here's hoping you are being honest because a lot of folks on this same Nairaland have been known to suggest women remain chained in marriage even when the signs are obvious it may be best they find their exit.

Tron1:
■ You women must really have a thing for bad men sha. Youll see a beautiful hardworking women married to a useless man who treats her like trash and you'll be wondering "how manage"

ocnovakmichael:
■ Dear Kobojunkiee, I'd like to appreciate you for the zeal to understand the anointing upon the Lord Jesus. However, if you try to understand the anointing with your head (what you assume), you may not get it. But if you go by the word, then the Spirit would unveil the word to you: because the Spirit and the Word agree in one (1 John 5:.
I'd begin by quoting your earliest opening remarks, when said: " You didn't answer the question. According to the Scripture, and this from all 4 Gospels which you claim as your witnesses, Jesus Christ already had, as a part of His being, the Spirit of Life(grace) and Spirit of Truth --- the Holy Spirit of the Old Law and the New Covenant since He was even in the womb" In the above statement, you state that Christ was anointed from the womb. Now it would be wise if you could give chapters and verses to buttress and establish your assertions here. You see, if Christ was anointed from His mother's womb then the Bible lied in[b] Luke 3:22, Luke 4:14, Luke 4:18, Matthew 3:16, John 1:32-33. But praise be to God the scripture cannot be broken (John 10:35). The Bible says, ... Let God be true, but every man a liar... (Romans 3:4)[/b]

The obvious problem here is absolutely none of the verses you continue to quote as witnesses in fact claim that Jesus Christ was "anointed", not according to the Old Law of Moses.

21 When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.
22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You, I am well pleased.” - Luke 3 vs 21 - 22

...

14 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.
15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all. - Luke 4 vs 14 - 15

...

16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” - Matthew 3 vs 16

...

32 And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.
33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.” - John 1 vs 32 - 34

When you read it all together, you realize that you would need to in fact add your own logic between the lines to make it say that Jesus Christ was anointed/possessed/taken over by the Spirit that came down on that very day that He was baptized.

Another giveaway are the claims made by John in the same Chapter of John 1...

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. - John 1 vs 1 - 5

...

16 And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten [h]Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him. - John 1 vs 16-18

....regarding Jesus Christ being the only begotten Son of God and also of Jesus Christ being full of grace(Eternal Life) and Truth.

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the (Spirit of) truth, and the (Spirit of Eternal)life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. - John 14 vs 6

If in fact Jesus Christ had only been imbued with these on the day He was baptized, then surely, all the claims made of Him being the begotten Son of God and being full of Eternal Life(grace) and Truth, even from His birth would amount to lies.

3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. - Matthew 4 vs 3 - 11

Westerhoffe:
It is written: “Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.”
— Psalms 50:23 (KJV)
Nice one OP.

One ought to be really careful of all those who trade religious lies in the name or God without regard or respect for God's Truth.

16 But God says to the wicked, “Stop quoting my laws! Stop talking about my agreement!
17 You hate for me to tell you what to do. You ignore what I say.
18 You see a thief and run to join him. You jump into bed with those who commit adultery.
19 You say evil things and tell lies.
20 You sit around talking about people, finding fault with your own brothers.
21 When you did these things, I said nothing. So you thought that I was just like you. But I will not be quiet any longer. I will correct you and make clear what I have against you.
22 You people who have forgotten God, understand what I am telling you, or I will tear you apart, and no one will be able to save you!
23 Whoever gives a thank offering shows me honor. And whoever decides to live right will see my power to save.” - Psalm 50 vs 16 - 23

As for the thanksgiving offering that God Himself required of His people, the instructions of what is required by God are written in the Old Law of Moses.

11 ‘This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings which he shall offer to the Lord:
12 If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer, with the sacrifice of thanksgiving, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or cakes of blended flour mixed with oil.
13 Besides the cakes, as his offering he shall offer leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering.
14 And from it he shall offer one cake from each offering as a heave offering to the Lord. It shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offering.
15 ‘The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day it is offered. He shall not leave any of it until morning.
16 But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offers his sacrifice; but on the next day the remainder of it also may be eaten;
17 the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day must be burned with fire.
18 And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, nor shall it be imputed to him; it shall be an abomination to him who offers it, and the person who eats of it shall bear guilt. - Leviticus 7 vs 11 - 18

Note how what is required by God even of His Old Law of Moses where you lot pretend your call to worship God comes from as far as thanksgiving, peace, voluntary and even vow offerings differs completely from your many religious rituals which you pretend are of God.
