JonBee1:
Almost the entirety of Mozilla’s income arrives in the form of royalties from the Firefox search box, and the lion’s share of those royalties are paid by the default search engine: Google.

While it’s true that Mozilla strongly relies on Google’s royalties, don’t forget that Google is completely reliant on search traffic: 97% of it is derived from advertising. In other words, Google’s status as the default search engine for the majority of 450 million Firefox users directly translates into millions — and possibly billions — of dollars of revenue. It’s the same story with Opera, which regularly holds an auction for its default search engine: search traffic is worth big bucks.

This helps, thanks.

happened to be before. it's no big deal.

Pride, Idolatry and Extortion all rolled into one. Smh

@ OP, u said God has been speaking to you to join a church group. You also said he told u d group to join. so my question to you is: why are u seeking men's approval. Why can't u just obey your Lord?

You really do have a lot of points but there are some things I don't agree with. Nice article all in all. Anyways, thank God I don't serve the "Nigerian god".

What does it mean to all these in d dream:
1. Constantly quarrel or fight with a certain person.
2. Constantly pray violent warfare prayers.
3. See/find/pick money.
4.see rodents etc and you try to kill them but without much success.
5. Recently, I was finding it difficult to write a certain paper, d questions were simple but I was just confused and time was going, then d invigilator gave me the answer script to copy from then I woke up.

While I'm happy for this woman's change of status, I believe that this particular appointment given to her is not necessary. Oshio overdid it. This is a big position that requires at least a university degree and some level of experience and competence. Anyway, that is Nigeria for you.

By the way,why do they all look unhappy?( I'm sure they'll all be dancing Mad azonto/ skelewu when they get home). Lol! Besides, something tells me the widow deliberately dressed like this to attract public sympathy. This isn't her best outfit. She would have one or two Sunday best.Dosent she go to church?

LoI. Sneezing is a sign of life. When people are unconscious or ill, sneezing shows that the person has regained consciousness. Its even biblical. When Elisha laid his body on the shunamite woman's son, he sneezed 7times when he revived.
In the olden days, when people sneeze, they say "life to you" (I know dis cos I read a historical book). I think that over the years cos of consciousness of Christianity, people changed it to "Bless you" equating life with the blessing of God.

I like this. very apt.

ckkris: Please tell the full experience of your life when you were tithing.

Exactly what I stated earlier. I got my first job in 2001, been a faithful tither since then. I faced challenges in my jobs even more than every other person I know, at times I had to continually remind God of his "promise" in Malachi 3, yet no change. I've enjoyed God's faithfulness through the retrenchments, demotions and humiliation BUT no mega window of heaven. I tell you.
I can also speak of my Hubby, a business. I can't tell you how many jotters he has exhausted in calculating his tithes CONTINUOUSLY from his capital and business overheads. I broda, leave matter Jare. We only enjoy God's goodness like every beliver in Christ. We know the truth now and we've been set free.

Demain_man: The whole country Nigeria is fast becoming one biggggg Church where all we will be doing is praying and leave everything else undone.

The more we pray, the more sorry the whole country is getting.

I agree with u, bro. Most of these hypocritical prayers aren't even scriptural.

ckkris: tithing is BENEFICIAL in too many ways.

really! Tell me about it cos I tithted for over a decade and nothing spectacular happened.

Today, I was just wondering how these browser developers make money. I understand Google because it is a search engine and they have lots of adverts. But Mozilla and Opera, we use them free of charge and they spend a lot of money to develop and to release constant upgrades on their software. There are no adverts either.

Are they just charity organization that want to improve the lives of internet broswers?

Phder: 50k for 30days? 9am-5pm job? Lord have mercy.

Pls, stop forming. This is naija for you. Hundreds of thousands desire to be in his shoes. Besides, Rome wasn't built in a day.

And they still look good!

@OP, if ALL prayers to God are always answered, sincerely you wouldn't be on NL trying to organize a N2000 prayer seminar, would you?

@OP, my advice for you is to just be patient. Its just a temporary phase. Strike won't last forever. To me, you are even fortunate cos you have your education to look forward to so it isn't like you will always be at home 247. Cleanse ur mind of sucidal thoughts by reading novels, watch good movies, social media etc.and before you say Jack Robinson, its school time once again and you'll have all your needs met and be with ur friends.

Isn't self-service uncleaniless? The bible says "fornication and ALL uncleaniless, let it not be once named among you as becometh saints"

Ukuts gp: stop dancing round a circle and answer the question. Forget the other thread 4 now. Now, will i go to hell if i dnt pay tithe? Ur reasons pls.

No! Tithe payment is not required of Christians. No where in the bible are believers explictly enjoined to pay tithe to gain God's approval. Salvation is strictly by faith in Christ Jesus not in keeping some legalistic aspect of the law.

I don't see why we should keep on recycling this tithe issue. All what is needed to be said has been made known in previous numerous topics and posts that would forever be permanent (as long as NL liveth). Let's engage yourselves in weightier matters of the spirit. Lol. abeg!

Coincidence. There is no life in a statue.

You don't need all these activities to be close to God. Start by reading your bible, read Christian literature and books, pray often and then when you get to any good church that God will lead you to (when you ask him in prayer), you can serve him in spirit and in love.

Okay. Thanks. We'll do my own further research.

The bible clearly states that He that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. D warning is to believers IMO, for they are the ones who have the spirit living in them.Holy spirit is sent to Christians. (Unbelievers cannot blaspheme what they don't know or have). It is rare but not impossible for a believer to DELIBERATELY and PUBLICLY speak irreverently about the HS. That, God will not forgive.

@Op, cool down now na. There is no love in this your message. Everything, hell,hell,hell. No be so, my brother. Circumstances vary and There's forgiveness in Christ. Chai!if you were God, you'll be the only one in heaven.

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16)

I believe the song was culled from this verse above. That said, there is really nothing wrong in singing a gospel song even if it dosent have God or Jesus in it. God sees the heart of praise.

Irrelevant facts!

Your pastor is right. Once a Christian is spirit-filled, there'll come a time when he will voluntary give it up himself. No one needs to tell him.Christianity is not a religion. It isn't a system of rules, regulations and laws. Christianity is a way of life, we are to be led by the spirit. However, it is a bad habit coz its addictive and our body shouldn't be the one controlling our spirit.

He may,he may not. there's no guarantee. They just have to completely rely on his mercy 100 percent.

Depends on the message. Some messages are revelational, teachings that builds ur spirit man up. They cannot be physically practiced. Besides, you may not always remember what was preached. Afterall God's word is food to our spirit man, it nourishes it. Do you remember what you ate 3days ago?

Gombs: Same as praying the "I cover myself/family/car/etc with the blood of Jesus" prayer is unscriptural.

Really? So this too is unscriptural?
