What can be done to a neighbour that repeatedly connects to my generator light? He has been caught twice now.

Can he be taken to court and what penalty will be dished out? Location is Lagos.

Any lawyer in the house to advise and possibly take up the case?

If you can, you fit record video evidence of how your neighbor take to connect to your generator and come trace it back to his house at least. Then call the police and show them the video as proof.

then show us the information from the scripture na. Is that too hard a thing

It is right there in John 3 vs 1 - 21 & John 4 vs 2 - 18

delkuf:
tell us the real deal. Don't you want me to be save.

Telling you the real deal will not save you as it is more likely that you will go around formulating more lies than the one you seem already filled with using the information. The information is found right there in scripture by the way. .

■I didn't write this for you. If still have problem with one meditating and believing the word of God then your case is critical. I don't what you believe in the bible.

1. God says. "trust and obey me." You instead advise individuals to ponder and believe the word to what end though? So they can say more meaningless prayers to God who makes it abundantly clear to all that He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous?

■The reason why we still suffer from the devil is because we don't know the word of God. The word of God is only thing the devil fear and honor. With your faith in the word of God, there is no mountain you cannot sumount. There is no problem that you don't have the solution in the bible. What you need, get that solution from the bible and apply and declare it concerning your problems. Keep believing and declaring it and in no time you will get your solution. I use to be a very chronic masturbator. I tried everything to stop but is like the forces of hell have hold me down to always masturbate. I wanted to live a righteous live but masturbation was the only thing holding me back. Until I met a woman. This woman now showed me this. That I should always declare the word of God concerning it. Though at first I wasn't too serious about it. But when I t9ok it seriously, I located the word of God that says I can do all things through Christ which strengthenth me. I started declaring this words that I can live a righteous life through Christ which strengthen me. With time it became part of me. I now have the strength to say no to the devil any time the devil brings the idea to masturbate. That was how I got delivered from the spirit of masturbation. Locate your word from the bible. Believe it and apply it to situation. And you will see the solution. The word of God still works.

1. God never gave men His word to use as if spells for their many incantations. Neither is His Word to serve as a talisman for those driven by their many fears and anxieties. God gave His Word to men in order that they may trust and obey Him for without obedience, it is impossible to please God.

All of your incantations and your many invocations amount to nothing in your lives because you refuse to pay heed to God's Word. It is as simple as that.

because you argue the result of it

I condemned your use of scripture to propagate your lies means I argue the result of suicide. Are you OK at all?

delkuf:
■ explain those proof to use now. Since it is in the bible. Or have you been given a cross

1. You claim you are born-again — born of water and born of the spirit— even though you reject the teachings of Jesus Christ. So why do you need me to explain anything of Jesus Christ to you in this? All I really should inform you is that until you experience the real deal, what you will continue to have is a counterfeit and nothing more to show for all your religious agitations.

Everyone who is born-again, according to Jesus Christ, has evidence of the experience, and a cross that is given to them when they accept/trust Jesus Christ — no exemptions.

anthonyuncle:
■commit suicide 1st

1. Why? Because you are afraid to die?

anthonyuncle:
■ let's leave the scripture and use you

1. Look, scripture only applies as far as those who are under Law, and as Jesus Christ made clear, only those who are of the Lost sheep of Israel can qualify to be under Law with Him. So, going around brandishing scripture against every individual out there makes absolutely no sense.

anthonyuncle:
it didn't applaud it either. we don't need to argue on this, you can help us to commit suicide, then go to the afterlife and confirm the stand of God on it

Neither did it condemn it! Let's not use scripture as if our private tool for forwarding our private delusions abeg!

GeeM:
■ i didn't mean it that way

1. Well, it seemed like you wanted us to completely abandon the details of the Law of man, in addition to the details of God's Law which clearly explain what is sin and what is not all so we can free-will it.

delkuf:
■ now let me ask you how do you know that you are born again. Since you said everyone that became born again or that believe in Christ will be given a cross. So how do you know that you are born again

1. I have proof or the receipt to show for it. The proof is described right there in the teachings of Jesus Christ for all who are of Him to see and know.

GeeM:
■ And who told u m not born again

1. Are you born-again? What proof do you have that you are born-again?

By the way, if you had processed my previous response carefully, you would have noted that no matter how born-again you claim to be, you, like every other born-again, including Peter and John, will sleep in the grave when you die, awaiting the resurrection like all others. That is what Jesus Christ said. unless of course you don't believe in Jesus Christ.

Tboy222:
■ Some of us are not certain about how The Lord speaks to us. We want to hear God verbatim,but mostly it is not always the case. God can speak to us through different medium, through his Word,through the voices of others,through signboards, numbers, our thoughts,telecommunication gadgets,.... Etc But one certain way to be sure God is speaking to you is that there is always a repetition. When God wants you to do something or take a step you hear that same command from different voices or people. You will hear the same thing even if their narratives might be different you hear it from different sources, but they always tend to arrive at the same conclusion. That is a sign God is speaking to you. A lot of us always expect God to answer our prayers immediately ,but no God Almighty always works in stages.
■ God is a tester,Just Like He tested Abraham in the book of Genesis 22:2 " And He said take now thine son Isaac whom thou lovest and offer Him as a burnt offering upon one the mountains which I shall tell thee off." The Lord Here tested Abraham,that was not the first test He had initially asked Him to leave the land of His Fathers. The Book of Genesis 12: 1-2 says " And the Lord said to Abram Get thee out of thy country
And from thy Kindred, and from thy Father's land into a land I will show thee." Verse 2 "And I will make thee a great nation,And I will bless thee,and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing." Now Abraham had to pass the test by taking a step of faith, He also passed the test of faith when He was promised a son Isaac at His Old age. (Romans 4:18-21) " Who against hope believed in hope,that He might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken,so shall thy seed be." Verse19 "And being not weak in faith,He considerd not His own body now dead,when He was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: So you see here Abraham had to pass different stages or levels of what I call a Faith test in order to achieve His promise. So most times before God gives us something He has promised He has to take us through different stages or different levels of Faith test. It is like taking an exam where you have to move from one stage to the next class. If God had promised you a Child,a promotion at work, a spouse, financial freedom ,or a ministry you will have to undertake different levels of Faith test to determine if you will be able to handle or simply if you will still be faithful after receiving the promise.

1. Stop using the name of God to propagate these lies in your heads of deceive others. God said He only answers those who are already following His Will meaning you must first be living your life in obedience to God's Will before God can answer your prayers/pleas, your asks/requests/requests, etc. And the Will of God refers to God's Law and agreement with man, in our time, it is Jesus Christ, God's Law and Constitution in the Kingdom of God. Those who do not obey Jesus Christ do not obey God's Will, it is that simple.

2. In Scripture, we read rather that God tests only those who are already under Covenant or His Will. So your claim that God randomly tests individuals is but a lie. Stop using the many mentions of the name of God to deceive people.

anthonyuncle:
fortunately, the Bible does not applaud it. Matthew 27:5

Michael547:
■ So according to your first point, where does the person go to?

If unbeliever
→then the rule is, "From dust, you came and to dust you shall return" -Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22

if born-again
→then the rule is you sleep in the grave until the time of the resurrection and then judgment - John 5 vs 19 - 29

GeeM:
■ heaven straight to be with God and his angels

1. That is impossible since the King of Heaven rather said all those who die without first being bornagain will perish in the grave --- cease to exist after death --- while those who were born-again in this life before death will sleep in their graves until He returns and judges their works before they are then ushered into either Heaven or Hell - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46

GeeM:
■whatever u do depends on how it affects your nearest neighbor. Anything that affects your neighbor negatively is wrong. But if it doesn't affect ur neighbor in anyway then it's between u and God to judge. fullstop

1. So abandon the Law of the land and go with your gut feelings instead? If you run a red light on an abandoned road or at night, and your neighbor is not affected, what you did was right? So, when the traffic violation comes in the mail, you should beat your chest proclaiming you were in the right and that whatever offense you committed was only against God?

sonjohn994:

■ Do you really think the Op doesn't know these recommendations you have offered?
■Both parties must have gone through all these but still couldn't resolve the situation.

There's more to his story than meets the eye.

1. OP never mentioned involving the police is why I asked. He never indicated that there has been any direct communication between himself and his partner since she left. That is why I ask because I know there is more to the story than a wife who simply ascended with OP'S kids.

God bless. Truth like these shud be emphasized in churches, where u see half naked ladies and people of unclean lips praying fervently. After all that, sit back and listen to the kind of foul, profane languages they use outside the church. Sit back and listen to the kind of sex-glorifying songs they sing.

See this one pointing fingers at others when he himself has yet to attain God's righteousness.

Look, as far as God, there are two kinds of people in this world. Those whom God has deemed righteous and those who are unrighteous. God said He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the requests/pleas/petitions of the unrighteous are made filthy by their sins and hence an abomination to God. What that means is that so long as you are not righteous --- it doesn't matter how many times you pray or fast or engage in your numerous religious rituals ---- , you are simply an unrighteous and God does not pay attention to the prayers/good works/deeds of the unrighteous.

So, if you in your unrighteousness think yourself better than those women whose dressing you seem obsessed with, think again. So long as you are both chasing the religion of men, you are both headed in the same direction.

Btruth:
A prayer of forgiveness

Fri, 5 May 2023

‘Forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.’ Ephesians 4:32

The Bible says, ‘Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behaviour. Instead, be kind to each other, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you’ (Ephesians 4:31-32 NLT). Are you struggling to forgive someone? Here is a prayer: ‘Lord, I praise You for forgiving me and washing my sins away. Reveal anything I need to confess to You today so that I can bring it before You and be cleansed and set free, especially any place in my heart where I have not forgiven someone. I know how subtly resentment and bitterness can build up and hinder my prayers. I recognise that my lack of forgiveness towards others can keep me from experiencing Your forgiveness (see Mark 11:25). To say that I need Your help to forgive others the way You have always been forgiving towards me is a huge understatement. You forgave the unforgivable on the cross. I acknowledge that I am incapable of forgiving on my own. Remind me that I cannot make my forgiveness conditional upon whether people deserve it or not and that the focus of my heart must remain on becoming more like You. Give me the grace to forgive and not hold forgiveness back until the other person says or does what I think they should. Take away any anger, bitterness, or resentment in my heart. Pour out Your Spirit upon me and cleanse me of all that’s not of You. Enable me to walk in the forgiveness You have given me and to extend it to others. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.’

Scripture also says that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many prayers of forgiveness are not answered by God since He did not make any special exemptions for kind of pleas. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind concerning that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all.

Look, God made it abundantly clear in His Word that He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their hearts meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. Hence the reason why Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things--- the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included--- shall be added on to each. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of God - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Prayer is not the key!

J3susFr3ak:
■ ...Hope you are following. Let's recap.... Before Jesus' Death...Satan the god of this world had the overarching Overlordship over death. Any human being who died went down to the place of the dead...Hades or hell.
■ But this all changed when Jesus died a sinless death of a Perfect and Blameless Sacrifice for our sins. This essentially meant that ALL who died throughout the Old Testament way until right before the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ--everyone who died did not directly go to the Third Heaven or paradise where God is--if they were righteous. They all went to either Hades if they were wicked or to a place they were they would wait for the promise of God's Salvation (Jesus) if they were righteous: Abraham's Bosom.
■ When Jesus died....the Reality Game changed! Jesus now became Lord and had Power of both the Living and the Dead! "In Revelation 1:18 Jesus says, “I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” Possessing the “keys of death” means that the risen Christ has control and authority over death. In John 10:17–18, Jesus says, “The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” When Jesus died, He died according to His own timing, when He “gave up his spirit” (John 19:30). This Psalm perfectly describes Jesus approaching the Gates of Hades and invading it to show the powers of death and darkness that they all have failed. ... After Jesus stormed and penetrated those ancient gates of hell--He preached to the spirits there: "....

The Great White Throne Judgment will mostly affect those who have rejected the words and Hope found ONLY in Jesus Christ! Please do not make the sad mistake of thinking "consciousness" ends after physical death. You will be more alive then than you can ever imagine.Please repent friend.

1. Again, back to the first question I asked you earlier, where in scripture is this claim you make here of the case before Jesus Christ stated. And please do not quote from a parable abeg because it seems you don't understand what an analogy/parable is meant for.

2. Again, where is all of this fairy tale you keep spewing spoken of by God Almighty, the one by whose power it all should have been made?

3. Again, Where in scripture did Almighty God inform you that when people die they end up in either this paradise or hell that you speak of?

4. So what you are insisting is that contrary to what Jesus Christ in fact said, everyone on earth previously had eternal life before He showed up — since you claim they would all be raised from the dead —advertising eternal life to them? Basically, you are insinuating that Jesus Christ's offering of Eternal life — life after death — in John 3 vs 16 was of fraud since you the condemned dead were not in fact condemned to perish in the grave but to rise again from their graves?

5. Jesus Christ tells the Truth yet so far you make Him out as nothing but a liar by the many tales you tell of Him. How come?

NB : I would very much appreciate it if you, in a statement or less, answered the questions posed, rather than shifting goalposts and introducing what amounts to fables when none of that is required here.

J3susFr3ak:
■ What is a parable? In short, it is a simple story to provide a more profound lesson or teaching! From the divine wisdom of Jesus Christ, we can learn transcendent, everlasting truths in the simple parables of the Bible.I emphasize TRUTHS here....not fiction. If hell or hades were not a REAL LITERAL place, Jesus would not have used it to warn of the severity of God's Judgment. Do you remember your famous John 3:16 and 17? Yes...I suppose. But many people FORGET the dire warnings from John 3:18 and onward. Which says: "Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son." -- John 3:18 In this context, Jesus will not condemn. It is YOUR OWN LACK OF FAITH IN HIS WORDS AND HIS DEED OF SALVATION FOR YOUR SAKE that will condemn you! When people currently die...they end up either in the current hell or in paradise.
■ When Jesus Physically returns back to earth to Judge the whole world...the condemned dead already in hell will be ejected out to join the living unsaved in the Great White Throne Judgment. “Then I saw a great white throne and the one who sat on it; the earth and the heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, the book of life. And the dead were judged according to their works, as recorded in the books. And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and all were judged according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire; and anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭20:11-15‬ ‭
■ Jesus tells the Truth as it is and I choose to believe Him. Please...do not be confused by the Wicked One. The Scripture is as plain and as simple for any one willing to read and repent.

Let's make this simple! Where in scripture did Almighty God inform you that when people die they end up in either this paradise or hell that you speak of?

2. So what you are insisting is that contrary to what Jesus Christ in fact said, everyone on earth previously had eternal life before He showed up — since you claim they would all be raised from the dead —advertising eternal life to them? Basically, you are insinuating that Jesus Christ's offering of Eternal life — life after death — in John 3 vs 16 was of fraud since you the condemned dead were not in fact condemned to perish in the grave but to rise again from their graves?

■ There is 2 side to every stories, her family only listening to everything she said and they believed. Though I reached out to some of them during that period and most of them we end up having confrontation.

Why didn't you get the police involved if you feel you were wronged?

J3susFr3ak:
■ I think you might be confused here. Hell is the temporary holding cell or "jail" before the final and Grand Judgement by Christ. Please re-read Jesus' parable of Lazarus and the rich man and the accounts of how two people died and ended up in two very different places. One was hell or Hades or Sheol...the place of the unrighteous dead who are now suddenly tormented. And the other place was Abraham's Bosom...the place of the righteous dead...where those who are counted worthy by God rested before Jesus finally comes to render the ultimate and final Judgment.

■ Now I think you may have been confused about Hell and the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire is the FINAL DESTINATION of very single rebellious entity....where even hell will end up. Read the Scriptures in Revelations more carefully again! After unbelievers are resurrected, they will stand before God at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-13). According to the Book of Revelation, those whose names are not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, a place of everlasting punishment (Revelation 20:15). In their resurrected bodies, unbelievers will live forever in this burning lake, which is “the second death” (Revelation 20:14). The Bible teaches that those in the Lake of Fire, along with the Antichrist, False Prophet, and Satan, will be tormented forever (Revelation 20:10; Matthew 3:12; Revelation 14:10-11). Jesus also affirms this in the parable of the sheep and goats, stating that unbelievers will “go away to eternal punishment” (Matthew 25:46). Many Christians may feel as if spending eternity in the Lake of Fire is an unjust punishment for unbelievers, but we need to remember that where we spend eternity depends on whether we trust in Jesus for salvation or reject His free offer of grace (John 3:18; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9).

1. If Jesus Christ made it clear that He did not come to condemn but to save and that judgment does not take place until after He returns and judges all the sheep and goats in the Kingdom of God, why would there be this need for a temporary cell?

I am afraid you have it twisted at both ends. Clearly, the story of Lazarus and the rich man is a Parable and not meant to be translated literally as all parables are not meant to be. For one the Old Law of Moses, the context around which the entire story is told, does not include a mention of a place of torment — either temporary or permanent for the dead— as rather it stipulates a reward of Life or Death(perishing in the grave) - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20. Abraham's bosom in the context used simply references the grave where the righteous are said to sleep until the time of the resurrection. By the way, this parable has absolutely nothing to do with my earlier response to you.

As for your conclusion that the teaching in Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 is a Parable, I suggest you head back and re-read that entire passage again as instead, it is Jesus Christ telling you of events to take place at the time that He, the Son of man, returns in the glory of His Kingdom.

2. Hell and Hellfire? In Jesus Christ, there is only one judgment for all those who are born-again, and that one judgment is the final judgment. God does not do do-overs as far as His Judgement is concerned. There is always one judgment under each one of His Laws and that judgment is final.
■ God already judged and condemned all unbelievers throughout time in the beginning - Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22 when He condemned them all to perish in the grave with no after live for their unbeliever. There is no other judgment that awaits them somewhere in the future
■ What you call the great white throne judgment is the same judgment described by Jesus Christ in Matthew 25 vs 31- 46, and as Jesus Christ made clear, He will be the one doing the judging of the sheep and goats in the Kingdom of God, all of whom are born-agains.
■ The "second death" aka "Lake of fire" is the place of eternal damnation told you by Jesus Christ in Matthew 25 vs 40 - 46.

So, let's get back to my questions, shall we?

According to Jesus Christ Himself, no man will enter Heaven or Hell until after He returns and judges the sheep and goats in His Kingdom. If this man's claim is to be considered true, are we to then believe Jesus Christ fked up? Is Jesus Christ a liar?

Also, Jesus Christ did state that everyone must be born-again-- no man can enter into the Kingdom of God except he is first born-again-- born of water and born of Spirit. Are you insinuating that Hitler was born-again according to the teachings of Jesus Christ in John 3 vs 1 - 21 since only born-agains can possess eternal life which Jesus Christ said no man before Him had in this life?

Or are we to take it that Jesus Christ lied?

Prayers before meal has become part of religious belief, especially Christians. some times i pray just to thank God for provision and to provide more. nothing else though everyone has its own motive based on their belief.
Why do you pray before taking your meal?

Those are meaningless religious rituals.

richmond500:
How often?

Whenever I feel like it. Sometimes, once a day other times, several times I day. I say the Lord's prayer. Given that God made it abundantly clear in His Word that He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous— their prayers are made filthy by their sins and are hence an abomination to Him — praying is more an act of obedience to God who commands that we pray and not necessarily a seek for answers since I am still unrighteous.

One sided story. Never judge a book by its cover.

You are right that it is a one sided story. But if infact the woman left with his kids and remains married to this man, the relationship between them both needs be legally resolved for both of their sakes.

For instance, if the wife maybe ran away from Op because he was a violent presence to her and to her kids, making sure the authorities are involved will benefit both her and the kids. OP ofcourse can finally be the parent he has been pining to be since 2019 in whatever capacity the courts decide best.
