where is the caution? Caution is telling someone, you are about to do this things, don pls. He said woe, that is condemnation. So what have you to say. See somethings are better left alone. You are not God and cannot be the judge!
Not true, you don't have to tell someone not to do something before it can be called caution.

The definition I have above is directly from the dictionary, do you care to cite an authoritative source as you to your rendering or usage of the word 'caution'?

Caution is simply a warning, nothing more, not less. We see caution or warning signs on the road, each day we drive.

Bible prophesies are full of cautions. Judas was cautioned, he knew what he was about to do is wrong and Jesus cautioned aka warned him as you can see in the above verses, stop adding person nonuniversal meanings to the word 'caution' just to justify your other views.

JESUS NEVER CAUTIONED JUDAS.
Infact Jesus made a prophesy there and it was even after dat prophecy dat devil entered into Judas.
Jesus even gave Judas a command asking him to hasten up and do wat he wanted to do. Bro stop disgracing us here
Caution
To say something as a warning.

John 13:21-26"...Verily verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me...He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it, and when he dipped the sip, he gave it to Judas."

Mark 14:21 "...The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him...but woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man. It would be better for him if he had not been born"

Luk 22:48 "...Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayed thou, the Son of Man with a kiss?"

There are many scriptures, I can put up to show, Judas was cautioned, warned before, during and after his betrayer of Jesus.

...and BTW Many prophesies have cautions in them, it is false and you know it to state that, because something is a prophesy, therefore it is not a cautions. Prophesies is one of the major ways God caution his people.

why didn't Jesus tell judas, or caution him? Why did elisha call on the bear? All these I too know. I just told you there are loads that offend pastors daily. Many steal offerings and their properties. How many cases do you hear in court? Stop allowing your sentiments cloud your sense of judgement. You are n God or Jesus. Let's assume the "pastor heard from God to su kemi" and leave it like that. If na your father kemi talk say dey sleep with children or that your father is gay, what will you do? Define persecution... it's simply using a system or law to condemn religion or a sect of people. What law is kemi using? Let her face the law! If the pastor opts out from being being witness, there are other individuals that will b witnesses!
You must have missed, the last supper, when Jesus cautioned Judas...try read Matt 26, John 13, Mark 14, etc.

As for Elisha, he was leaving under the Old covenant. An eye for an eye is the rule in the old covenant.

If the old covenant was perfect, Jesus would not have come, He would not have died for our sins and Gentiles like myself and you would have still be aliens to God and His plans.

Jesus is the fulfillment of the old covenant, he said he brought a new and a better covenant, a better way of life.

Heb 8:13 said, he made the old covenant obsolete, aging and about to disappear. How many New Testament prophets did you read calling bears, fire and thunders or venegence against their enemies?

You are the one reading the Bible upside-down.

You are confusing the salvation of the sinner, with what God commanded Christians to do, without prompting.

Kemi's confession is tied to Kemi's salvation; just like the thief you referenced...he was not forgiven by God, because he did not repent, same will be applicable to Kemi by God and you are a baby Christian to link this Kemi's salvation with what God commanded Christians to do.

Did you noticed another thing on that cross? Jesus, our example forgave everyone offended him before he took his last breath. Even Stephen while actively been stoned to death and before he took his last breath and without his killers confessing or apologizing said..."Lord, do not hold this sin against"

The Pastor insisting on confession of an unbeliever before forgiveness is putting himself in the place of God. He has forgotten that, he is also a sinner, who equally needs forgiveness from God and is now usurping the position of God, who needs no forgiveness.

Let me ask you a question..., do you understand or even believe Matt 6:14 "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you"... Mark 11:26 put it more bluntly "But if he do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses"

There is no pre-condition of the offended repenting, apologizing, confessing...but to make it worse....Our own salvation and forgiveness by God is tied to us forgiving others period!

As I have said, one will understand the initial actions of the Pastor as forgiveness is tough, but to hold out as if, his continual actions are somehow justifiable by any Christian precepts is far from the truth, by his continual actions, when reflected against the Bible, he is not a Christian (Christ-Like).

it's easy. Let her tell her lawyers she will publicly apologise, sign an undertaken not to publish untrue stories to defame people and the case may be closed. Until then, the pastor has to be a witness. She is puting the blame on an "individual that sent" her the news. She claims not to be able to reach th individual to provide proofs. The only thing left for her to do is apologise and plead guilty! Do you have an idea how many people sin against and offend pastors. Some run away with their properties an monies. A contractor once stole from this Sam ibiyome. Did he go to court. A driver ran away with oyedepo's car sometime.... and so many other cases. This case is about Kemi and the public and not a" pastor" alone.
Dude, I don't care if the Pastor locked up Kemi till thy Kingdom come, or if she confessed or apologized or if she have proof or not against the Pastor.

I don't know Kemi and am not advocating for her, my analysis is purely from the biblical aspect and the way the Bible expects us to comport ourselves when faced with adversity. Jesus said, if they persecute me, they will also persecute you, but he still command them to handle those persecutions as he handled his.

Yes, Christians sometimes out of justified anger slip and resort to vegence at the spur of the moment just like Peter at the Garden by chopping off the ears of one of the arresting office, but Jesus, through to his teachings and what he wants us to do, admonished Peter and healed the man.

To the bolded, When the same Paul was also accused and being tried, he did defend himself in the court and followed the roman costitutional authority. By your analogy, one would have thought that Paul will not waste time in prolonging the trial, he would simply have turned himself in and accept the whole accusation and afterward forgive them. But he subjected himself to the constitution even though he believes there is a better Jugde which is God. The pastor is also subjected to the constitution and he is using it. If it favours him or not is a separate case entirely.
Nothing in what I said, suggested that Christians cannot defend themselves when hauled before a Judge or that it is unchrist like to do so.

Jesus went before Pilate, he defended himself and as Christians, we must defend ourselves.

My point is, Jesus, Paul, Peter, Silas, etc never hauled their accusers before a Judge, if you find a scripture reference that contridicts that, please let me know.

Agreed, forgiveness is tough. No one said, it is easy, that is why the Bible did not command unbelievers to forgive. You need God's grace to turn the other cheek or to pray...'Father forgive them for they know not what they are doing' when you have just be hung on the cross and a spear driven through your ribs.

You asked, some personal questions and how I will react, yes at the spur of the moment, I will react to protect myself....but, I will not never proclaim it as a Christian thing to do. I will be mad at myself, I will go to God and ask for his forgiveness, I will know that, I have sinned against God and redeem his face and will try to make amends.

Don't get me wrong, the Pastor have every right to be angry, he have every right to lock her up and throw the keys away, he has every right to be judgmental...but, the question is for a true believer, after those initial burst of angers, you must start looking at things through the lens of Christ, you must start questioning the actions you have taken at the spur of the moment and reverse them, if they do not pass through the lens of "Will Jesus Do this?". The Bible allow Christians to be angry, but it said, we should not allow the Sub to come down before we let go.

has the person you are defending " kemi" pleaded gulity? Has she come to realise that committed a crime? Let her do that first before you talk o forgiveness. When you commit, why do your parents punish you? Why don't they forgive and rub your head? It's about the law and not a pastor forgiving.
The Pastor is the one bearing witness against her, the way the law works, without the testimony of the Pastor, she cannot be prosecuted.

There is no scriptural bases for the repentance or confession of sinners, before we can forgive them...in fact, the Bible says that, our own forgiveness by God is tied us forgiving others.

Only God can chastise everyone, Pastors can discipline those who have submitted themselves to his leadership e.g. his church members, but he can do same to those outside the fold, that he must leave to God.

Men, you spoke like someone who is alien to the Christian faith and not grounded in the Bible.

Do you know how many unbelievers blasphemed against Christ? How many did he take to court? The Bible commands us to be Christ-like, Pastors have to be christians first, forgive others their sins, so the Heavenly Father will forgive you your sins, so said the Bible.

Secondly, you are totally wrong that Pastors or Preachers convert souls, we are only admonished to preach the gospel, it is the Holly Spirit that convert souls.

Saul Persecuted Peter and the early Apostles even unto death, non took him to court, none even prayed curse on him, they blessed him and shown him love until God touched Saul.

These Pastors are doing more damages to the Christian faith by these actions. Vegence is mine said God.

Jesus said, he that is without sin, should cast the first stone. We are all sinners, including these Pastors and cannot cast any stone at someone for what they have done.

What happened to turning the other cheek, when you are slapped or forgiving 7x77 times a day, when you are offended.

There is no yardstick in the Bible by which you can measure these and concluded that these Pastos are Christians i.e. Christ-Like period!

1. Your using NIPOST.
2. Using first class.
3. Posting something of value without insurance.

First class mails are not guaranteed, also once they leave the shores of Nigeria, there is nothing NIPOST can do.

You would have used DHL, FedEx or UPS or us EMS with insurance.

As it is now, you are at the mercies of luck, that somehow the package gets to its destination.

Even at that, you are not yet out of the woods, the buyers have to be honest about receiving it. Once a Paypal case is closed is near impossible to reopen it, even if the item was eventually delivered.

Learn from this and be guided next time, ask buyers to pay for premium shipping cost and also insurance.

Does he run the affairs of the Police?

Does he run the prison affairs ?

Let all complaints about her arrest be directed to the Law agents not the pastor.

Many of you guys are hypocrites
If you were in the shoes of the Pastor yould do worst.

Someone said you stole his phone when you can't remember wen u stole last.
All Hell will loose.

Let us all be truthful and Frank
I guess you don't understand how the police, court, prison or law works.

The Pastor complained, hence he was arrested, charged and in jail at the moment awaiting trials.

When the trial commences, the Pastor will be called to testify in other to enter into evidence, the exhibits against her. Without the Pastor's testimony at the trial phase, all those blog posts cannot be entered into evidence. It means, if the Pastor failed to testify, she will go free at trial as she will not be found guilty.

Even now, if the Pastor withdraw his complains, she will be set free.

So, let's not minimize the continual role of the Pastor in this case, they are front and center on this case and without their continual support and interest, the case will fall apart.

Blasphemy “Pastors Enoch Adeboye And David Oyedepo Are Gay Partners” - Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo


The last has not been heard of this controversial daughter of former Oyo State governor, Victor Omololu Olunloyo, Kemi Omololu-Olulonyo, as she has decided to once again, throw dirt the way of two of Nigeria’s most respected men of God, Pastor David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Winners Chapel, and Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, (RCCG).

The self-confessed man-hater, who has been a terror to many on social media, took to her blog a few days ago to say categorically that Pastors Oyedepo and Adeboye are homosexual partners. She said that one of pastors in RCCG sent her a message on how the two esteemed men of God were having homosexual sex in their private jets.

This is what she wrote on her blog:

“You will be surprised to know that some of these Nigerian Pastors commit the most heinous acts. I'm sure you have read in newspapers that a pastor raped a boy, girl or woman, a pastor supplied guns to armed robbers, a pastor stole money.

Nothing like my new investigation about Pastor Enoch Adeboye and Pastor David Oyedepo; aside from being certified cult members like Jim Jones, they are also GAY!

They preach all this anti-gay shit to Christians when they were the pastors at Sodom and Gonorrhea. Yup, the land of STD in the BIBLE! Have you ever thought about what happens in those private jets while they are on their way to meetings in heaven?

Those two Christian leaders BANG each other onboard. Yes, Adeboye and Oyedepo are GAY and have a secret relationship. Add Pastor Tuberculosis and you will have a full blown party disease in Sodom and Gomorrah.

Remember when I was in Atlanta, I actually visited Bishop Eddie Long's church and he was GAY, all the time fucking boys! Christians are FAKE in Nigeria!”

What do you make of this woman?

cc: AngelicBeing
And how many blasphemy against Jesus did he prosecute? And why don't these so called men of God emulate the Jesus they preach to us on a daily basis?

While dying on the cross Jesus said..."father forgive them, for they know not what they do.".

And don't hide under the pretense of, "it is the federal government that is prosecuting them and not the pastors". If these Pastors did not go to the Police station to complaint, mind you something Jesus will never do, there will be no charge and if these Pastors do not testify in this case, there will be no prosecution.

This makes one to believe that, the pastors are just protecting their financial brand on earth just like any business man/woman would do and careless about doctrine they preach and the Person of Jesus, they pretend to follow.

I beg to differ. The answer, I believe, is Saturday.
The person under discussion wished that yesterday, that is, Friday was the next day (Sunday) of the particular day the expression was made (which is Saturday). That is to say, Saturday would have been Sunday only if Friday was the day immediately after Saturday, which is Sunday. Therefore, it follows that Saturday is the day that remark was uttered.
Proof by contrapositive:
Note that: In all solutions, today must be Sunday as stipulated in the problem statement.

If the statement was made on Saturday.

1. Then yesterday will be Friday.
2. Then tomorrow will be Sunday.
3. If Yesterday was tomorrow, then Yesterday is no longer Friday but a Sunday.
4. If Yesterday is a Sunday, then today is a Monday.

Since today = Monday (our Answer), is not the same as our starting assumption that today = Sunday, it then means our starting assumption is incorrect.

The day that the teacher made that statement is Tuesday.

Solution: The statement above says "If only yesterday(Monday) was tomorrow, Today(Tuesday) would have been Sunday", so, if it will be Monday tomorrow, Today would be Sunday.

So, We now know that tomorrow is Sunday. Then with the statement "If only yesterday(Monday) was tomorrow", we can say that: Yesterday = Tomorrow Yesterday = Monday So, if yesterday was Monday, Today is Tuesday. Therefore, it was Tuesday when the teacher made that statement.

Tuesday. If Monday(Yesterday) was tomorrow, today would have been Sunday
Not correct....Remember today must be: Sunday..if Tuesday were correct, then today will be Thursday.

I think, the statement was made on Friday...proof:
Let assume the statement was made on a Friday.
1. If Yesterday (Thursday) was tomorrow(Saturday).
2. Meaning Yesterday is now Saturday.
3. If Yesterday was Saturday, meaning today is Sunday.

Since today is Sunday, it means our initial assumption is correct and the statement was made on Friday.
BusinessRe: External Reserves Hit Two-week Low As Naira Weakens by linearity:
abescom:
I think even at $45 to a barrel of crude and the agricultural drive of the government looking like starting to take off ( even if just marginally) the CBN can still sustain the dollar sale to the market.

However, something needs to be done about price control. We all felt the impact of the dollar going high against the naira as if it was headed for the moon but we are yet to feel the impact of the naira gaining ground on the dollar.

People selling things like cars, electronics and their likes may have excuses because they may still have old stocks but how about others like food items. How come their prices are not coming down?

Nigerians are Nigerians' problems. If it was that the naira was crashing in the last week, they all would have hiked up their prices but it is climbing down now but they still keep the old prices. It is beyond annoying especially for those of us who are earning in dollars.

I don't mind my $100 losing face value providing the buying power is in tact but the reverse is the case now. Makes it difficult for someone like me ( if I am honest) to pray for the dollar to crash even though it would be good if it does for the sake of those who don't earn in dollars.
At $45/barrel and given Nigerian government's attitude for waste, I doubt if things will be as rosy as you are painting them.

The 2017 budget was predicted on $42.5/per barrel at 2.2 mill/per day/barrel production.

The current realistic production numbers is 1.8mi/day, am discounting recent NNPC announcements that we have added additional 200,000 barrels/day to our production output. Also Remember that any violence or pipeline vandalism in the Niger Delta cuts that number down drastically....So it is save to use 1,800,000 barrels/day as longtime production output.

Which means 2017 budget expects: 2.2mil * 42.5 /daily from oil....if oil go to $45 as you have stipulated, then the actual numbers will be: 1.8mil * 45/daily...which is about $4.5b shortfall on the 2017 budget. Remember that, we have not factored in Nigeria mismanagement factor into any of these.

Compound this with the yet to be booked short falls from the 2016 budget, which was predicted on the same parameters as above, but also on N197/$1 exchange rate, since that exchange rate did not pan out throughout 2016, it means that, there are myriad of projects and promises of 2016 budget that only existed in the pages of newspapers and the budget documents because of lack of funds.

2017 budget, though not yet approved will suffer the same fate, so I will not have my hopes up, but will continue to pray that oil remain at least at the $50 levels.

In essence you are saying these so called 'Pastors' are not preaching the gospel of Christ and neither are they Christians aka Christ-like.

Is the persecution they faced greater than the one Jesus faced? Or the attempted or damage to their names and ministries greater than one Jesus suffered?

Hanging on the cross and about to died, I did not recall any of his persecutors coming and asking for forgiveness, but he still said 'Father forgive them, for they know not what they are doing'.

If these are truly men of God, they will leave Judgement unto God and forgive within prompting from the offender just like Jesus did.

Even if he is obligated contractually to do so, which I doubt is the case here, the employer breached that contract, once they started giving him tasks (washing clothes, cleaning toilets, etc) that are not within his contracted obligations as spelt out by his employment letter and as such, any claim the employer is making to that contract is null and void.

This guy does not have any legal obligation to give termination notice, given the specifics of this case. The only reason he might want to settle this case amicably is for the future e.g. He might need this company as a reference in the future, if I were in his shoes, I will not include them in my resume at all, more so because no matter the settlement reached, I doubt if his boss is going to forget it in a giffy.

As for him going to your house, get a pro bono legal counsel as some have advised. A cease and desist letter from even a law school student will put him in his place and let him know that, he has crossed the line.

Arrant nonsense!

In the book of Deuteronomy that a man must NEVER uncover his mother/sister/aunt/cousin up to the 5th generation.

In fact, almost a whole chapter was dedicated to the subject of incest. And consequences were spelt out.

Our Lord Jesus never upturned the statute in the New Testament.

Be guided!!
Why is it that, when topics like these come up; you guys run to pull one selective law from the Old testament.

That convenant and laws were made with Abraham and his defendants. Even the Hebrew Israelis who are direct descendants of Abraham and beneficiaries of that convenant marry their cousins up till day.

If you check very well, that is not the only law you are disobeying clearly written in Deuteronomy.

Jesus abolished the old convenant and their laws, my guy, embrace the new convenant.

No Minister Ordained in MFM will ever be a DUPE.

Anybody trying to destroy my Church's name FIRE FIRE FIRE.

Any IPOB youth trying to bring disgrace to my Church FIRE FIRE FIRE.
Am afraid for you, you are not objective and very close minded, it is your type that can easily be duped, because of your lack of objectivity on all occasion.

At least, be open to the idea that, one of your pastors is a fraud, it does not in away tarnish the image of the ministry or church. Jesus had only 12 disciples and there was one Judas in their mix, who love money to a great length, but that did not tarnish the image of Jesus' ministry and he never hid the fact that, there is a Judas among his disciples.

I wonder why most men resort to rape, when there are thousands of ladies out there willing to serve us pussy in golden glass plates free of charge.
In most cases, inferiority complex on the part of the guy is a contributing factor.
