Not every prophetic encounter was peaceful; Daniel fainted, Ezekiel dropped to the ground, and Zakariya was filled with fear but that doesn’t mean it was demonic. Waraqah was attuned to the patterns of revelation; he didn’t just take wild guesses. The Torah and the Gospel were already in existence, but later interpretations brought about some distortions (Jeremiah 8:. The Qur’an mushaf was compiled under Uthman, and the qira’at (recitation styles) are simply minor variations in pronunciation, not fundamentally different beliefs. Just because someone disagrees with your theology doesn’t mean they’re being deceptive; it’s the evidence and context that truly shape what’s considered true.

Funny guy. When I say angels sent by God come with peace and comfort. Did I mention that the people won't be fearful? When the recipient is afraid, they give them words of comfort like, Do not be afraid, blessed are you, you are highly favoured, I bring you good news of great joy, O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you. In Mohammed's case, the being pressed him three times that he couldnt bear it anymore. No word of comfort or hope before Mohammed fled to Khadijah, asking her to cover him.

But dont let us flog it. May light come to you...

AntiChristian:
Prophet Muhammad initially did not know who the being was when Angel Gabriel first appeared to him during his retreat in the cave of Hira. The angel commanded him to "Read!" or "Recite!" but Muhammad responded that he could not read. The angel then pressed him tightly and repeated the command several times. After this intense encounter, Muhammad was deeply shaken and confused about the nature of the experience.

He later mentioned the event to Waraqa ibn Nawfal, a Christian scholar familiar with the scriptures. Waraqa informed Muhammad that the being who appeared to him was the same Angel Gabriel who had come to previous prophets to deliver God's messages. This confirmation helped Muhammad understand that his experience was a divine revelation through Angel Gabriel.

Thus, Muhammad's recognition of Angel Gabriel came through the explanation of Waraqa ibn Nawfal, who identified the spiritual being based on his knowledge of earlier prophetic traditions.

Prophet Muhammad confirmed that the being who initially appeared to him was Angel Gabriel (Jibril) through the ongoing revelations he received, which were consistent with previous prophetic messages and spiritually profound. His certainty was further strengthened when he later saw Jibril in his true angelic form. These clear visions and repeated encounters affirmed to the Prophet that the divine messages came from Jibril, solidifying his understanding of the angel’s identity. May the peace and blessings of Allah be on the Prophet and all those who follow him in truth till the last day!

First of, Waraka was obviously unschooled about how the angel of God had manifested to prophets in the past. They always come with comfort and peace. They don't strangle human. Only demons make you feel like committing suicide, or wanting to jump off the cliff. That's not the ways of angels.

Secondly, the angel always identify themselves and their mission when you have an encounter with them. It took Waraka, who wasn't there, who have never met an angel nor know how angel operate, to tell him it was Angel Gabriel.

Thirdly, if it was indeed an angel, his message will be consistent with the Torah, Tenakh and Injeel. But you will say that the Bible is corrupted. Guess what manuscripts of the Torah and Tenakh that older that the birth of Yeshua was recently discovered, and it's the same as what we have today. For InJeel, because there are continuous re-copying of manuscripts to edify the churches as the gospel of Yeshua spread across the world, there were a few scribal and textual differences but the message of Christ remained intact. We see this also in the Quran. Because there were different scribes that write to transmit the Quran to different caliphates that they have captured. There were errors, as manuscripts were reproduced. Uthman destroyed different variant of the Islamic Quran and yet till today you still have different versions of the Quran.

Christians will not argue that Quran has been corrupted with you but because you always see that the message of the Quran does not add up with the earlier texts from the Jews and the Christians, your scholars have found an easy argument to help the Taqqiya agenda.

Let me stop here for now...

Pierocash:
I think this his own is a curse.

You just survived life imprisonment here in Nigeria, but still went to UK to repeat same offence , no it is a generational curse

OGA READ NOW. HE DIDNT GO T REPEAT THE SAME THING IN UK. HE HAD DONE THE UK CRIME BEFORE RETURNING TO NIGERIA IN THE FIRST PLACE. HE JUST DIDNT REALIZED THAT THE BEANS HE COOKED IN THE UK IS STILL IN THE POT. SO RAB FROM JUSTICE TO MEET JUSTICE...

Akir2025:
How did Muhammad know it was Angel Gabriel that Appeared to him after 3 years of the Encounter ?

This is a Question,Not War ,Not Violent.

Enlightenment and Answer Needed Pls.

I have asked this question from my Moslem friends for the past four years, and none has been able to explain it.

what kind of tv is it? Give details

Ken4Christ:
You are actually the one in grave error. The verse is neither referring to Jesus resurrection nor the rapture.

When he resurrected, he couldn't have said to have come. Rather, he came up or rose from the dead. Besides, how did the Holy angels come with him when he rose from the dead.

It is not also referring to the rapture of the Church. During the rapture, Holy angels are not the ones coming with Jesus but the Saints who slept in Him - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16.

This verse points to the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus which will happen after the rapture of the Church. And the throne he will sit upon is the rulership of the world from the city of Jerusalem.

If you want to get more enlightenment on this, check my signature and message me and I will recommend a book for you to read.

There is oil on your head. I wanted to reply the fellow then I saw that you have given the same accurate response I would have given.

Shalom.

Brendaniel:
You won't hear those people from a certain region call these a northern coup or start shouting because Atiku lost election is the reason why they want a Yoruba president out of power.

Pause for a second and imagine if it was the southeast that was mentioned, that shows you that most of what they accuse the Igbos of only stems from hatred and envy.

Don't be hasty. Yoruba people don't jump without having full information. There are details that are not in the public domain. Yoruba people already know that the coup appears to be a northern coup. But there are still more information to unravel the mystery of the coup

A Brigadier Gen who hasn't fought any battle in his life. He can barely handle an AK47 and I am sure he can't eliminate house rats let alone the deadly band!ts

All these little boys will stay behind keyboard and be spilling trash... Where you born when he was wounded during battle with Boko Haram?

mrvitalis:
The only way to stop Israel attack is for Hamas to accept Israel right to exist and accept the two state solution

You can't shout from the river to the sea then claim Israel is the aggressor

If Hamas had Israel power it would have done far worse

Thank you. There are many hypocrites on this platform. I already know that Hamas will not embrace peace deal because the real issue they have is the continued existence of Israel. Those, who are shouting free Palestine should beg Hamas to demilitarize, and handover the hostages. But they wont because the ultimate agenda, which the entire UN is not addressing is the elephant in the room - WE DONT WANT ISRAEL TO EXIST!

Mrfixitt:
You're naive perhaps and you think everyone falls into your level. Gej left power over a decade ago but it's now that Otedola choose to be singing like a bird left alone in the desert. Dude pack well

When people turn conspiracy theory to wisdom and smartness, this is what you get... Who's singing like a bird between him and his accuser. So if someone comes writes something against you, you will keep quiet. You won't put the record straight. Don't be an hypocrite!

Sermwell:
Stop exhibiting your brainwashed self and use your brain! How has obidients physically assaulted voters during election? You left thiefnubuu who recruits thugs to attack people during election and you're calling Obi a mob leader! Una funny ohh

You have been duly noticed...

PDPdestroyer:
No way at the bolded! We won’t allow a man who is glaringly incompetent to rule this country just to “clear the eyes” of his mob. You actually think his mob doesn’t know about his incompetence? If anything, they will only make excuses or abuse you when he starts failing, rather than “clear their eyes”
They are only promoting him for tribal reasons

Hmmm! That's some deep truth...

Moroccoguy:
This man should leave petty politics, he should appoint a spokes person and allow them to do the dirty work for him.

You want a leader of a mob to abandon his main cooking ingredient, and let someone else do it for him. I bet you he will never do so. The mob are only excited when he makes statements like this... I honestly want him to win the next election to clear the eyes of his mob for four years...

ibrahimsd5:
Isreal e don do abeg make una calm down let this people breath

So israel should continue to look at Yemen as the claimed the bombing of an airport in Israel three days ago with many people injured?

tunde233:
The man is controversial but some truth are coming out

He himself said it clearly in 2019. i watched him live... He knows few Nigerians will remember

VinnyBaba:
I love El-Rufai.

Wotowoto Master.

Has no time for Pretense or Diplomatic speeches.

You also like how he caused religious crisis in Kaduna. You must also like how he empowered bandits as a governor. You should also like how he confessed to paying insurgents (he has forgotten this before accusing someone else of same). You should really like how fanatical he has always been. Clap Clap Clap!

Nigerians don't have short memories. They dont even have memories!

Justnation:
AD merged with AC ?,

Are you a kid ?

AD contested elections alongside AC

Tinubu decamped with his justice group to form AC.

Bucknor Akerele, Pa Adesanya, pa fasanya , Olu falea and others remained and continued Alliance for Democracy (AD) . The party went into extinction because of lack of patronage.
It never merged with any other party.

Please ask your elders to educate you properly

The party went into extinction because they didnt see the bait that Obasanjo threw at them in 2003. Lagos AD survived because Tinubu read Obasanjo correctly. After the AD suffered from Obasanjo's ploy to destroy the progressives in SW, the leaders of AD saw what Tinubu had seen and joined the AC family, making Tinubu a leader who reshaped the progressive future. Baba Osoba, Baba Bisi Akande and others also joined him in the rebuild from the ruins after the catastrophic loss to Obasanjo, who rigged all of them out.

Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly has recanted and apologised to the Christ Apostolic Church over comments he made about the late Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, the first General Evangelist of the church.

In a now-viral clip, Fatoyinbo described Babalola as “anointed… so anointed” but claimed that “all the grace just went like that” because he “had no money.”

The CAC, in a strongly worded statement on Thursday, signed by its Director of Publicity, Pastor Ade Alawode, accused Fatoyinbo of promoting a misleading link between ministerial success and material wealth.

In response, Fatoyinbo issued a statement on Thursday acknowledging the CAC’s concerns and apologising for any hurt caused.

He insisted that he did not speak ill of Babalola’s children and maintained that his church was “a place of honour.”

“Let me state however that at no time in the sermon did I refer to the children of the late Apostle and Father of faith in bad light. I would never do that. The raw copy of the message is online and this can be verified.

“I would never in any way of manner take lightly the grace over Apostle Babalola, his children or his ministry for granted or speak lightly of same,” he said.

He described Babalola as a “highly revered father of faith” whose ministry had shaped many churches, including his own, and prayed that the late evangelist’s legacy “continues to grow in leaps and bounds.”

“I apologise if any other statement made by me has caused any form of distress, hurt or discontentment to the CAC, the family of the late Apostle Babalola or his associates.

I will never disrespect or speak of them in that manner either publicly or privately.

“I pray that this puts to rest the entire episode and we pray that the CAC and the legacy of our father Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, continues to grow in leaps and bounds,” he concluded.

In the recent sermon, Fatoyinbo had recounted an incident in which a python allegedly dried up after crossing Babalola’s leg.

He said, “I was studying recently about what Apostle Babalola did. I stand to be corrected. What God did through Smith Wigglesworth, if they had documented what God did in the life of that man (Babalola), people would be coming here for pilgrimage. He was anointed. So anointed.

“Anointed man. Heavy-duty grace, but no money. So all the grace just went like that.”

The statement issued by CAC to respond to Fatoyinbo partly read, “Ordinarily, we do not respond to social media commentaries or controversies. However, we consider it necessary to address your recent statements, which have been widely circulated on your social media platforms.

“In one of your trending messages on YouTube, you acknowledged that Apostle Babalola was highly anointed but ‘had no money,’ and then went on to ask sarcastically, ‘Where are his children?’ — a question that was both insensitive and ill-informed.

“To equate anointing or ministerial success with material wealth is biblically flawed. The words of Jesus are clear: Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” — Luke 12:15.”

Buhari4dullard:
How sure are we this happened with no pic shown or named person 🤔

Listen to news. At least the governor of Niger confirmed it and the name is in the news. I won't do you the honour of helping you get it. Do your research...

bigpicture001:
We need the naira to further come. Down..

Debt management is what is killing the naira...

You don't understand economics. You need naira to come down but you don't want investment to come in... in any case, did the news say it's funded by Nigerian Government? That's how millionaires are being made under your nose but your small mind cannot see beyond now.

For economic lessons, it is foreign investment that will push down the pressure on naira. But govt borrowing will affects govt spending... And the question should be borrowing for what? Infrastructure? Bring it on! You were here when Jonathan and Buhari were borrowing to pay overheads but you didn't complain.

In addition to this, a deadly bandit leader was captured without a gunshot in Niger State over the weekend, and no one is praising Tinubu for it. Let's be fair, the security agencies have upped their game under this administration. Kudos to the president, the NSA, the service chiefs, and the DG, DSS. I am hoping to see more professionalism from the Police under the current inspector general though...

TrustyAI:
Modu Sheriff is a former Governor of Borno State and erstwhile National Chairman of PDP

And the founder of Boko Haram

Gerrard59:
Tinubu campaigned and voted for Buhari in 2015. Tinubu's boys were at the helms of economic affairs under Buhari.

Please let's be honest with our utterances, especially on a public forum.

Who was the minister of finance under Buhari? Who was the Attorney General, who didn't have anything before 2015 and built a rice mill by 2023? Who was the Governor of CBN, who was printing Naira at the demand of the cabal and the Minister of Finance as their boyboy? The impact of their atrocities is what we are seeing currently. In 2023 before the election, those of us that follow economic direction predicted what we are facing now. I remember making a presentation to my Executive Management after Tinubu won the election that the kind of backlash he will get by the time the impact of the mismanagement of exchange rate, the printing of money by Emefiele, and the impending stoppage of subsidy / floating of the currency would do to an average family in Nigeria. And I would be foolish not to acknowledge these real challenges. But I am persuaded that from the last quarter of this year, things will peak again.

free2ryhme:
External reserves don full—great. But can we eat that?
When will it start showing up as food on the table and cash in the pocket?

it doesn't work like that. What we are facing now was created by Buhari and Emefiele, as they continued to print money, and share the dollars in the economy amongst the cronies of the government. The policies of today will begin to manifest from the 4th quarter of this year into 2026. Be ready to take opportunities. The economy will be knowledge-based. As long as you have skills, you will never be broke in the Nigeria of 2026 - 2027. You must prepare yourself for the big leap. Don't join those, who by hatred, can't see and understand how economics work.

Those who understand what Tinubu is doing will be eternally grateful that we had a president who was ready to damn the consequences and take the bullet so that there can still be a country. Unfortunately, the same people who destroyed the economy under Buhari have joined those who destroyed it under the PDP era to sabotage the country, taking advantage of the ignorant Nigerian youths to spread falsehood in a bid to remove Tinubu.

What will happen next year will be a great leap, with the rewards of these policies coming to fruition. I expect a significant drop in inflation from 2026, and a strong manufacturing base in Nigeria.

oz4real83:
Convert the value of the stocks to dollar, compare them with those of 1999 to 2014 and tell us the result

You are just bitter. Those of us who have made millions in the market this year know that this govt is doing very well... Like I said to my staff, instead of joining the tears of haters of this government, look deeply into the economy, and take advantage of the policies of this government to see prospering areas and lock yourself there. Tinubu's policy favours capitalism with a massive support for the social side of governance by using the tax reform to create a social soft landing for those who will not be able to compete due to their ignorance, weak education, laziness, or gross dependence of govt. But those who have eyes will make money in the stock market, in manufacturing. By next year, the economy will be a primarily knowledge-based economy. Only those who understand the flow will be able to position themselves for maximum opportunities.

You better open your eyes.

SusanOpeyemi:
Please remind us the years Atiku was the president and commander in chief! Last time I checked, this is topic about how Tinubu promised us electricity 24/7. And not about his vice president.

Atiku headed the privatization program of the Obasanjo govt. what became of the national assets sold to cronies for cheap. Imagine that those monies are properly realized, it could have been ployed into power generation. Today, we can't even see the money realized from the sale of Nepa, nitel, etc.

Also, have you realized that the same week that Elrufai started his cry tactics, they started bombing in the north. We know them. They want the power back in the north at all cost. Cos why should they start political campaigns when we are barely over two years in the administration?

saintbillion:
The one time president will soon be a former president according to the Supreme Court governor of Imo state

We will find out if Atiku will become president or Tinubu will do two terms. No one has command of the future except God, and in TIME, every living soul that outlives 2027 will know how it played out...

rofanx13:
Tinibu wants 2027 as if his life depends on it
.but guess what, even if he appoints his son as inec chairman, he will lose

And Atiku wants 2027 like his children's lives depend on it...
