If you want to get to heaven, all you need to do is to believe in Jesus Christ. If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died and rose again on the third day, you will be saved. Your name will be written in the Book of Life which is for those who will go to heaven.

Some posts on Nairaland (especially in the Religion section), it is the original poster that keeps on replying to the post just to keep the post on page 1. I think there should be a restriction on the number of times an original poster can reply to his/her own post without any other intervening post from other members. Apart from the aforementioned, I think Nairaland is doing a good job. It has remained consistent over the years. I think the look and feel of the website has remained unchanged since 2005. That should be a thing to be maintained. Keep up the good work Seun.

If Your Faith Can Claim It, God Can’t Deny It - Part 1
This statement has created frustrated miracle seekers. Christians who don’t know the balanced Word. For years, you look at their lives and wonder: if they have faith, why do they live like this? Motivational pastors have pushed people to focus on wealth more than the will of the Father. Only a small group of Christians today truly care about God’s will. Most believe that what they own or gain shows God’s will. This is dangerous for spiritual growth.
True men of God, like Apostle Paul, Polycarp, Reinhard Bonnke, Anthony of Egypt, and Francis of Assisi, faced wants, needs, and lack. Yet they held on to the life of Christ and became legends and men of faith. If they had based their faith on material things, they would have disappeared with those possessions over time. Paul said in Philippians 4:12, “I know what it is to have little and to have much.” He learned to be content in both.
One end-time prophet said, “If you don’t have money, you’re not serving God.” People attacked him for it. I was shocked—he revealed his own god to them, and they were upset he told the truth. His god is money. Jesus said you can’t serve two masters—you can’t serve God and money. Many men of God today have made money their god, but God’s chosen ones don’t always see these wolves in sheep’s clothing.
If your faith depends on what you can gain in this world, you’ll be let down at the resurrection. Our faith is in our Lord Jesus Christ—Him alone we trust. The desires of this generation won’t change that. We must remind ourselves of this pledge in this evil time.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, while the world focuses on what they can see, help us keep our hope in Your promises and rely on You for everything. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
Yours in the vineyard,

Nice write up. It's very true. I learnt by experience that no matter how much faith you have, if it is not in accordance with the will of God, it won't happen.

You are fine. I am great.

@OP You didn't mention Benin City.

Yes. I read Amos chapter 9.

It almost sounds too good to be true. But it's worth a shot. No harm in trying.

Amen.

I think animal's have a mind of their own, with the way the female animal protect it child, so they must have the ability to think, so I do wonder do they believe in God, do they have souls or will they go to heaven or hell if they die...

Your question is very interesting. I also wonder because of what the bible said in Mark 16:15:

Mark 16:15 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

The bible said preach the gospel to every CREATURE. That means animals are included. It didn't say preach the gospel to ALL MANKIND. It said "to every CREATURE." So maybe we should be organizing crusades for animals too.

I have read an agreed to all terms and conditions is the biggest lie people tell

I don't tell this lie because I always make sure I read a part of the terms and conditions before I check the box. It didn't say "I have read ALL the terms and conditions."

Rent in Lagos is something else. It's not just Tinubu era. It has been like that since Buhari's administration. The simple solution is to migrate to where rent is cheaper.

Amen.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

My guess is that the other gods are now dwelling amongst us living as ordinary mortals like bible said:

Acts 14:11 KJV And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.

#SeeTheHancockMovie

Yes. I can still remember it. It was about the apocalypse and how those who don't follow Jesus Christ will suffer many tribulations including from beast-like monsters. I was so afraid. I made the decision to follow Jesus. That was about 30 years ago.

Please, can you help me solve this quantitative reasoning problem?

Rapmoney:
Can you identify the female here amongst these? State your reason(s).

Let's have some fun!

Happy Sunday folks!

The one on the right is the female. I say this because the three of them are depicting 'see no evil', 'hear no evil', and 'speak no evil'. Of these three, males don't want to 'see evil' like naked women. That's the one on the left. Also, males don't want to 'hear evil' like a nagging wife. That's the one in the middle. But it is females who don't want to 'speak evil' like a gossipping woman. That's the one on the right. So the one on the right ('speak no evil') is the female.

ictplotter:
Kindly read and study the following biblical verses

Apart from the verses you quoted, the story of the rich man and poor Lazarus comes to mind. It seemed like the criteria for Lazarus' going to heaven was his being poor. This makes me wary of being rich.

Yes. It still takes that long.

What is the average time Canada takes to process TRV? is there a way it can be expedited? if the reason is urgent?

The average time it takes to process TRV is 175 days. However, the processing time is drastically reduced if you already have a valid US visa.

Kobojunkie:
Look at what Jesus Christ of Israel did when asked by His followers to teach them to pray in Matthew 6. He went into detail about what they were to say when they did. The author may have gotten the answer to the question by simply asking Jesus Christ of Israel himself what He had prayed about or for, a prayer likely taken from Isaiah 51 vs 22.

The author couldn't have known by "simply asking Jesus Christ of Israel himself what He had prayed about or for" because the bible narrates what followed the solo prayer: Judas came and betrayed Jesus and He (Jesus) was arrested and taken away. The disciples were then scattered. Jesus was then tried and crucified. So there was no time in which the disciples could have inquired about what He (Jesus) had prayed about.

Believe God, in spite of the odds

‘Our sufficiency is from God.’ 2 Corinthians 3:5

Gideon’s army of thirty-two thousand men is enormously outnumbered by the Midianites when God tells him, ‘You have too many men.’ He instructs Gideon to release anyone who is afraid, and Gideon loses two-thirds of his army. Now he has only ten thousand men. Again, the Lord says, ‘There are still too many men,’ and reduces Gideon’s army to three hundred men. At that moment, the odds had to be a million to one. And it even gets better! God directs Gideon to attack the Midianites with trumpets and pitchers. Now for the real kicker: Israel wins!

Why did God do it like that? Because if Gideon had attacked with thirty-two thousand men and won, the Israelites would have thought that God didn’t provide much help, and God would have received limited credit. But God is worthy of more. God desires and deserves complete credit. And when three hundred men defeat a massive army with trumpets and pitchers, God receives all the glory (see Judges 7).

Why? The reason is a victory like that overcomes all odds. Too frequently, our prayers revolve around requesting God to increase our odds of winning. We would like everything in our favour. But maybe God wants the odds to oppose us so we can encounter a miracle of divine proportions. Faith is trusting God no matter how hopeless the odds are. Our impossible circumstances are chances to experience a new height of God’s glory. Are you facing a situation that, humanly speaking, is beyond your ability to cope with it? Read this: ‘Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God’ (2 Corinthians 3:5 NKJV).

Nice write-up. Who is the author of this and what ministry is it?

The bible says that in the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus left His disciples at a distance while He (Jesus) went further ahead to pray ALONE.

So my question is, if Jesus was ALONE when He prayed, how did the authors of the gospels know what Jesus said? Nobody heard Him (Jesus) while He prayed because they (the disciples) were some distance away and besides the bible says the disciples were asleep.
