It used to be back in the day that people would assume a Christian or Church based school would be secure from "demonic" or witchcraft attacks. Because these are unseen things their security was not really tested but now we can see, there is no inherent higher security except for imaginary foes.

An Armed Robbery Experience I Had Moments After A Holy Ghost Church Service

It happened moments after i just returned from a church program, sometime in late 2003. It was most likely carried out by cultists, since it took place in a university campus hostel.

There were six of us (all guys) inside the room. Four of us, choir members, yet in high spirits having just returned from a Holy Ghost power-packed, Spirit-filled service on campus at about 10pm.

We were still trying to absorb everything that had transpired during the powerful service, while also getting set for bed, when out of nowhere, there came in the three guys with gun(s) and machete(s) into the room and one of them switched off the light, while using touch light to be flashing light on our faces carrying out the robbery.

But it was a strange kind of robbery, because after they were through, they had robbed every one inside the room, except me.

And it wasn't as though it was a mistake or that they had forgotten to do so or were in a hurry, it seemed deliberate, because after asking everyone of us to lie down, they had stood us up one by one to rob us, from the first person to the fifth person.

But when it got to my turn, being the sixth and final person, after the guy came to me, and flashed the touch on my face, since it was dark, instead of telling me to stand up and go to show him my things as he had done to the other five persons before me, he just stood up and started walking sheepishly back to where his guys were to my amazement. It was as though he had seen something strange or an angel.

Moreover while yet lying down, i overheard him being asked by one of his guys, who I suppose was their leader, "what of that guy"? His response though was not loud, so I couldn't hear what he said was his reason for doing that, but it seemed to suffice to his fellow guys, as it wasn't long afterwards they left the room.

Probably even more puzzling, was the fact that my black traveling bag, was just about the first thing anyone else would spot in the place the robbers had taken most of the things from, such as, cash, a mobile phone, a perfume jar, a pair of shoes etc., which was the wardrobe.

And inside the side pocket of that bag which was the foremost and most exposed part of that bag, there was some considerable amount of cash. Therefore had they just stumbled on it and decided to open it just one of the times they went there with one of the other five persons to show them their stuff, they would have also robbed me of some cash, because that was the closest money or thing in the wardrobe for them to have made away with.

But for some reason they left all the cash intact and no single thing in my bag was missing, while the other things more difficult to access in that wardrobe were being made away with, apart from my other things without my bag there which they also didn't touch.

So this was not just about me not being stood up by them, because they could have also easily robbed me even without needing me to do that.

As I said earlier, four of us there of the six were all choir members of the same church, and we had just returned from a church service together. And while three of us were guests who came from other parts of the country for the annual church program held within the campus premises, the other one was a student of that school who happened to be our host.

But despite that, when the robbery took place, I was the only one of the four who was separated and treated differently from the rest by the armed robbers.

It was really shocking to say the least, but it wasn't completely surprising to me because it was obvious to me why that was.

Despite that we were all Christians, and some active church members, as those my fellow choir members, i was the only one among them that was really saved and truly of God among them, so that was what was separated me from the rest when it mattered.

God bless.

Jeez, the level of conceit is to be expected. So the others deserved to be robbed but not you. Such conceit. Even your fellow god believers can see how conceited you are.

DeepSight:
While I understand what you are trying to hint at here, and I have already accepted your point about how the thoughts and actions of others in ones past can affect one's reality and future, this doesn't take away the point I believe you are reacting to, unless I am mistaken about your reason for posting this.

On a general and perhaps tangential note however, the truth is that one is not denying either the fact that the physical body is impacted by trauma or the fact that physical factors can affect psychological experiences. If you are involved in a motor accident, the car will have its damage and you can also go away with invisible psychological scars. For me, the human being is the driver inside the car who goes away with psychological scars while the body is the car, which goes away with physical scars. And yes, the condition of that car can affect the drivers reality.

The reason I asked you to watch it is to underline the point that the mind and body are one. There is no ghost in the machine. the machine is the ghost. If I was to use your car analogy it would be like saying there is no driver, it's a self driving car. It would be very futile to look for the "driver" in a self driving car.

LordReed my man, are you still here causing trouble?

I dey o! How far? Happy New Year!

Speaklove:
I myself have no power to tell you such things but God does .
His power and majesty is above what you've ask for ,because he is the one who knows the beginning and the end of all things before they began .
The bible has a record of such challenge of yours presented to God in the days of Daniel
And God shew himself as the majesty who know all things -the alpha and omega .

And I trust him to give you a reply best suit for your request ,and let him show his glory to others like you that his name might be glorified at the end .

Let God be truth and everyone a liar .

See lordreed my God is supreme above your question and he will reveal his majesty to the world through your question and your life that you will end up being a proclaimer of the glory and knowledge of God that is in the face of Jesus Christ -even the word of God .

Only wait for God to give answer to you
And it shall be done .

PastorAIO:
Indeed. It is blatantly Canaanite in every aspect. The same world view, the same beliefs in sacrifices etc.....

For example the sacrifice of the King of Moab.
Moab was at war with Israel and Israel was prevailing. In a desperate bid to escape the King of Moab sacrificed this first born son and subsequently a great wrath fell on the Israelites and Moab managed to free itself.

What is of note here, though it was not an Hebrew sacrifice but a moabite sacrifice, is that the writers believe thoroughly in the efficacy of the sacrifice. The reason the Moabites escaped in the writers opinion is because they sacrificed the first born son of their King. There was certainly a belief in the efficacy of such a sacrifice.

2Kings 3
26When the king of Moab saw that the battle was going against him, he took with him 700 swordsmen to break through, opposite the king of Edom, but they could not. 27Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel. And they withdrew from him and returned to their own land.

This passage in Kings was very disturbing to me back when I was a believer. Why would a human sacrifice cause the god supported army to be defeated? It was just too strange to consider.

PastorAIO:
Well according to the bible the reason for YHWH asking for human sacrifice was an act of bitterness and wickedness towards the Hebrews. He demanded it precisely because he knew that it would bring them to ruin.

EZEKIEL 20:
25Moreover, I gave them statutes that were not good and rules by which they could not have life, 26and I defiled them through their very gifts in their offering up all their firstborn, that I might devastate them. I did it that they might know that I am the LORD.

So we see that it was all done so that the Hebrew would know that he is Yhwh.

When we heard that the first fruits of the Hebrews whether cattle or crops are to be offered up as a burnt offering to yhwh, BUT the first born human children are to be REDEEMED, a practice called "Pidyon Haben".

The question we ought to ask is 'redeemed from what'? If the parents cannot afford the silver to 'redeem' their first borns then what would happen to them? In other words what are they getting redeemed from.


Without a doubt there has been a lot of redaction of the bible but something so ingrained in the worship of yhwh cannot be scrubbed out completely and the OT is replete with vestiges of the practice. All this despite the desperate efforts to expunge it from the records.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidyon_haben

Hmmm, interesting. Seems to tie in with the hypothesis that the Jewish religion has Canaanite origins.

Kobojunkie:
I am not here to defend a position.... I was simply trying to correct a misconception as far as God's Law is concerned.

The same law you can't seem to tell us the consequence of? LMFAO!

Kobojunkie:
The law is as stated as referenced in the post you responded to. There are 613 statutes/commandments included in the law - documented in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy. I am not going to dig into that searching for consequences this Saturday morning, but feel free to.

LMAO! I thought you already know what your god said since you know it is against his law. Bwahahahahaha!

Kobojunkie:
We are not told anything else about Jephthah after that so I don't know.

You said the god gave laws so according to the law what was the consequence for human sacrifice?

pedrozone15:
Good day folks. There was a night I slept and had a dream. Mind you, I never thought anything concerning the dream prior to the time I slept. In the dream I was going about my normal daily routine when I noticed that people suddenly disappeared, there was news on television that millions of people around the world had suddenly disappeared as well. As a Christian I immediately knew what had happened. The disasters that happened that day were numerous. Plane crash, fire out break and so on. There was intense weeping everywhere from loved ones left behind. I couldn't believe what had just happened. All my life as a Christian I had heard about the coming of Christ but never took it seriously. "It wouldn't occur in my lifetime", I would say. But here I was and what I thought wasn't going to happen in my lifetime just did. I wept profusely because I knew what to expect next. The thought of what the Antichrist was going to do and the great tribulation was heavy on my mind. I immediately began to cry. "Father forgive me. This has to be a dream, LORD". "Please let it be a dream", I cried. Oh, I cried like never before.
Folks it was so clear like when you are awake in the real world.
Suddenly everything disappeared, then I heard an authoritative voice say to me, "GO AND TELL MY PEOPLE THAT I AM COMING SOON".
I have been meaning to write this but always seem to forget due to my busy schedule but it has always been on my mind to do this in obedience to the MASTER'S command.
JESUS IS COMING SOON!! Please turn to HIM now and repent. 2 peter 3:9 says, "The LORD is not slack concerning HIS promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Christians examine yourselves.The coming of JESUS will be as a thief in the night, without warning except for the warning signs we see and hear all around us as it was foretold. I have obeyed the LORD by telling you all I saw in the dream and has also told you what HE commanded me to tell you. HE IS COMING SOON!!
GOD bless you.

Your god is so awesome he can create a universe but instead of communicating properly to human beings, he sends dreams to one Ajani sleeping off his tired body. LoL. SMH.

Kobojunkie:
The only scenario that exists in this case is what is in fact stated right there in the story.

Quit with the now pretty obvious desperate attempts to shift blame here for Pete's sake.

---

1. God made it known by His Law that human sacrifices were absolutely out of the question as far as that which He desires from His people, Israel.

2. Jephthah asked God for help, promising to offer God a burnt sacrifice of that which first thing that comes out of his house when he returns from victory.

3. Jephthah, ignoring God's decree, concluded that since his daughter was the first to come out of the house when he returned from victory, he would offer her a burnt sacrifice to God.

---

God gave men Laws to chose for themselves their fate and end. God never stipulated in His agreement that He would deny men their rightful benefits in order to force men to comply with His given Law. Instead punishments are meant for when one breaks the Law and rewards for when one obeys the Law.

A wise God is one who sticks to the terms and conditions of His agreement, not one who stands in the way of even the freedoms He has given His subjects.

So what was the consequence for offering human sacrifice?

Kanye West spotted with new girlfriend. Everywhere is quiet, redpillers are happy.

No one is telling us how it is too soon.

No one is telling us how his prick would soon reduce for fucking another woman.

Just good ol LOGICAL comments and well wishes.

A woman can even drop dead and the man would marry in seconds because despite claiming not to benefit from marriage, they are always quick to replace an ex or late wife.

Men are such strange and selfish creatures. Even when they don’t want you, they still do not want another man to want you. If they have their way, once you break up with them, you’ll be confined to a lifetime of posting crypic messages on WhatsApp . That is why they spend productive time monitoring their EXes, hoping the next man pumps and dump. So they can rush to Nairaland to tell us how their EX is 45, single and frustrated, while they are now happily married to a more beautiful woman, with two kids, a 6 by 6 bed, one Firman generator and a Toyota Corolla.

Our atheists in the building seff that likes to sound politically correct all the time understand that this is not marriage...

yet some people are justifying the woman’s action with “women need to be pampered and allowed to blow some steam”

7months and moving out ..that’s witch craft naaa

You are funny. You accused me of being insulting before now you say I like to be politically correct. Well which is it, do like I to be politically correct or insulting? LoL.

edunaragold:
After marriage a lot of people do expect thing to just be fine,they don't know, both couples have,another life challenges ahead of them, while some couples overcame their challenges another couples are planing to break up finally.

Since I discovered I married an Igbo Lady, and after one kid,I later learn were my mistake came from, my only mistake was that I did not set in mind another financial side were my wife would generate incomes, but am working on 3 ways i can generate petty petty income before my salary enters,no perfect marriage, but its how you use endurance to achieved the well beings of the marriage .a lot of times its after marriage that people realized their mistake despite all the marriage plans before the marriage.

When my wife started given me that attitude and excuses of am tired, leave me alone, pls stop, etc when I make advance at her, I tried to find out what is wrong, I called her attention to it politely, she told me that I was irritating her, so I quickly discovered an idle mind is the devils work shop, I tried my best in enrolling her in a catering school, she still continued in refusing me. I would pretend as if am forcing to rap her, but jokingly, she would scream rape!!! Playfully so I would stop.

Sometimes when I come back from work late or spend few times around while in the area, she would think I went to cheat, my wife is somebody that assumes especially when she saw u talking to any woman or greet, she would conclude in her heart that you guys may be dating.

After disturbing me that she wants to relocate to her own state so her business can flourish ,I called her mom to see if they can agree to it which she did, and after much advice from elderly men and woman I later came to my own finally conclusion after doing my + and - because not every advice one takes when seeking for advise ,I gave her some money to go spent time with her mom and what ever she decide she should let me know, I will be sending her some cash every months and the baby till she comes back to her senses.,they are now in the east and I stay in another state alone.

Na who sex help, another 3 ladies are disturbing to come visit me, but I decline them,I no wan cast my beloved marriage but soon i will answer them not now, especially now that am rushing and focusing to complete my house and put some tenant but all works and no play males jack a dull boy.

Now am more relaxed, marriage no b small thing o,its not a do or die affair ,don't kill your self for those you can't pls. A lot of woman change after having kids.

Since my wife left our conversion on phone is even better than when we stayed together. Sometimes you need to give a wife the opportunity to refresh them self as no woman wants to be tied own. Marriages get broken due to lack of refreshment, give your problem wife sense of refreshment, or let them miss you so they can know what they have.

It sounds like you forced her into marriage because you are reporting that your wife is not interested in making love to you or even living in the same house with you. This is not marriage.

Dtruthspeaker:
1) First, you can not say I have not reached there because you are not The Judge at the Reach Finish Line.

2) It is my journey and I sure did enjoy my trip, so you have no say in it

Please lie that you are "all good". LoL

BTW the you was referring to the whole of Christianity not you personally.

MaxInDHouse:
If you asked a misinformed churchgoer what Jesus meant by that statement they will just get the whole thing more complicated that's why i don't believe they know anything about Jesus!

Ok.

Image123:
It's a needless question. People make decisions every day based on either reward or consequences. There are people who are motivated either way.

Your opinion. My conversation with them has achieved it's purpose.

MaxInDHouse:
The problem is how humans define GOOD and how God defines it.
From the way Jesus lived his life everyone will say Jesus is good, but he himself said:
“Why do you call me good? Nobody is good except one, God" Luke 18:18

From Jesus' comment the word GOOD has a deeper meaning that the way humans view it!

Yeah sure, that's why "all good" only applies to mythical beings.

Image123:
Did he mention ONLY?

I asked a question.

Dtruthspeaker:
That's why we Christians are different. WE KNOW WE SHOULD HEAD THERE for it was our Original out of Factory Settings and Configuration!

You've been heading there for 1960+ years without reaching there.

Dtruthspeaker:
Man can no longer be all good for by his parental defect, he comes with evil in his soul Exactly as the Bible showed.

And that is why no man is Holy for holy is a person who is all good and who will do good with and without punishment of any kind.

"All good" is only applicable to your mythical god, it is not a quality we look for in real humans.

It was a sarcastic statement....

Ah, OK.
