TruthinAction: I have been filled with the Holy Spirit since 1986 and I wasn't trained to speak in tongues. The Holy Spirit gives the utterance. It comes from the innermost belly.
It's a sign that ought to follow all believers according to the word from the very lips of our Lord Jesus - Mark 16:17. So, if you don't speak in tongues, you are not a believer.
Lol. You're very funny sir. How many of Jesus apostles speak gibberish in the bible? That thing nobody understood.
TruthinAction: The people in on the day of Pentecost who heard them speak in tongues were not indigenous people of Israel. Every tribe present heard them speak in their mother tongue.
But the fact does not change that they also spoke in tongues that were not necessarily languages spoken on earth.
Fact that is not in the Bible, right? And you mean that language not spoken on earth is the rekebobo that you guys are speaking on earth abi?
Stop deceiving yourselves. We know how they allegedly train people how to speak the gibberish in that church in Ogun State.
TruthinAction: The experience of speaking in tongues in known languages only happened on the day of Pentecost during the days of the early church. They also spoke in tongues that could not be understood.
This is why Apostle Paul wrote;
1st Conrinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
If they always spoke known languages in tongues, there would have been no need to look for an interpreter.
Wow! I am amazed.
So, if a Chinese speaking pastor comes to preach the gospel in Ijebu, there wont be a need for an interpreter?
JohnBullMySon: Earrings were also used for slaves and bracelets were used in rituals too. Why do people still wear them today?
You have a brain that should be able to understand that no matter what these articles may have been used to signify, it's only a matter of perception and nothing makes them bad. Avoiding it should be based on enhancing public interaction with any social group that believes otherwise (usually associated with underdeveloped, overly spiritual societies). It's just a question of it being appropriate in a particular setting or people perceiving it to be too casual for a professional space. It is extremely stupid to accuse someone of being a sex worker or having a bad character because of a physical thing like an anklet which has nothing to do with sex unless you're just brainwashed to the extent you couldn't think for yourself anymore.
Yes i have a brain, i guess you have too. If its working.... Its up to you sir
JohnBullMySon: Technically speaking, there's no difference between leg chain and other jewelries women wear. You have a brain for heaven's sake. Can you factually explain how the leg chain has got to do with immorality and other jewelry don't?
Nothing wrong with the ornament but there's public opinion though. To attract clients, you have to play along with public perception and opinion even when its seems so stupid.
In your mind now, youre talking sense. Good things can be used in a bad way. Its like saying sagging is cool cos sheybi the person is still wearing trousers.
Oga, in our culture here in Western Naija, the way you wear your Fila can tell people if you are single or married. Leg chain was an identifying mark for prostitutes. (when prostitution was still a shameful thing) once you were it any man that needs a prostitute look out for anklets. Google is your friend, confirm it sir.
Chukabiz: Don't know what's wrong with today girls. Someone will wear nose ring, three ear-rings, eye lashes and leg chain at the same time. One person oo. Is there a better way to define madness?
And when you talk, you will be told to mind your business. Smh
mexyk: If this is true, then the employers have something fundamentally wrong with them. When did leg chain become a sign of irresponsibility or an indication of professional incompetence? This is simply social intolerance and backwardness.
respect80: She was foolish enough not to understand the acceptable moral ethics of the society she lives in. She should go and call the civilised set of people from whom she learnt she was free to wear whatever she likes and to wherever she likes to help her sue the organisation that denied her the job... Alternatively, she should establish her own business and employ only people who wear leg chain. Mumu gal probably thinking her kpekus could buy her way out of any troubles.
Freedom is relative
Im still shocked many people still reason this way. When i speak against leg chains, i almost feel like im mad like i dont have sense.
Bigredmachine: I detest guys who wear hearings, plait their hairs, do artificial dread locks, the one that annoys me most and always make me wish I have power to eliminate them without being questioned is guys who sag l...
Note that if u are a music star , a celebrity, that does all these, I would have no problem... But to see young people who just want to belong sag their jeans, makes me mad
Morality is finding its way back into our society.
Bigredmachine: What has a leg chain got to do with the job, was the question... Now the answer is... What is the work of the leg chain on the leg...
I have come to a conclusion that many people don't have any tangible reasons as to why they do some certain things in this life, because u see other people do it, u too just want to do it...
If for example my friend who is a musician tints his hair, pierce his ear and draws tattoo on his body (just to promote his hustle) and because it looks good on him, then me an aspiring banker or a medical doctor should i now go and do same, just because it looks good... Anyway I digress
This empty skull headed girl, would see it as normal and something accepted by the general public...
Am happy she did not get the Job... Cause her appearance has already showed she's irresponsible...
More wisdom bro.
Anybody that does things without a reasonable reason is MAD
TruthinAction: Apostle Paul didn't discourage believers from speaking in tongues. He was only trying to put an order in church. And he was addressing the situation when you are talking to the congregation.
But he encourages speaking in tongues for personal edification;
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church -:1st Corinthians 14:2.
He even boasted he speaks in tongues more than them all -: 1st Conrinthians 14:18
In the concluding part, he said;
Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order - 1st Conrinthians 14:39-40.
There are several benefits of speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues destroys the works of Satan. So, Satan is fighting hard for people to despise it.
I would have been long death before now if not for the gift of tongues. God gave me victory over assassin who were paid to kill me on several occasions.
Speaking in tongues makes spirit more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. It makes you supernatural. Time will not permit me to list out more benefits.
You are missing quite a lot if you don't speak in tongues.
Sir, Tongue means language. In pentecost 33CE those that spoke in tongues were speaking languages that people can understand. Go read Acts 1:1-11.
Who understands that gibberish you guys speak today?
The gift of speaking in different languages was a gift of the spirit, no to talk to God but to preach the gospel to people of different languages.
Wdf is sharrababa. And that trash you guys speak sound all the same.
How come Gallileans speak our languages and we can hear them? People heard.
JayCynic: Now that he's scored the hype will be everywhere, notice how nobody is praising Pogba despite his brilliant performance, notice how they are saying that he plays better than teenagers at 37 but once he just stops scoring, the blame suddenly will be on Rashford, Rangnick, Bruno Fernandez, Fred, English FA, Sepp Blatter, Putin, Nnamdi Kanu, and the Pfizer vaccine, that's when they'll somehow remember that age has caught up with him.
Karleb: For your child to say you should stop shouting at him actually shows disrespect.
Correct that!
I disagree. Nothing is achieved by shouting. The children of today can let you know youre shouting.
I apply reasoning techniques. Asking questions. Why did you do this? Do you think is OK to do this? What other ways do you think you could have done this? If someone else do this to you would you be happy?
This helps the child to listen and reason. It helps the child to build his thinking and reasoning pattern.
Don't shout on or beat your child at the slightest mistake or disobedience. They get used to it and there's no coming back from that.
Spell out the rules in the house and corresponding consequences. Make sure they are aware and know these rules.
When they default, reason with them. Ask, what is the consequence for what you have done? If it's 5 strokes, do it but don't ever add extra strokes no matter how angry you are. If you do, the kinds will find it hard to trust you. You too are breaking your own rule and God won't be happy with you. Let your yes be yes and no, no. 5 strokes is 5 strokes.

jesusjnr2020: Could Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine Be A Fulfilment Of Biblical Prophecy?
The world hasn't recovered but is still grappling with the devastating effects of covid-19 pandemic, as the vaccines have so far flattered to deceive, having not provided the desired results to curtail or stop the deadly virus.
Alongside this unusual pandemic which brought the world to her bare knees, there have been many other strange and unusual occurrences, including unprecedented natural disasters, taking place in different parts of the world.
Now we have a full-blown war in our hands in Ukraine that appears to be edging towards the 3rd world war which has been much spoken about, so could this be a fulfilment of biblical prophecy?
Jesus said:
Matthew 24:6-7 (KJV)
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
I believe it is, because the signs have it that these are surely the last days. It's for this very reason we've been preaching and rigorously warning people to repent, because the end is at the door and the day of Jesus' second coming is very near.
I hope that all these warnings would not be in vain, and you still find yourself get left behind, because then you'd only have yourself to blame.
God bless.
Oga OP let's read from verse 1. Because Jesus is back already. His disciples asked him of the SIGNS of his presence and he told them of wars and conflicts everywhere. You get it?
Throwback video of veteran Nollywood actress mercy aigbe advising young ladies not to become second wives, today she said she's happy to be a second wife.
Mercy Aigbe Defends Herself On Young Girl Dating Married Men - Throwback
Mercy Aigbe was heard saying;
“If you are a side chic to a married man, Girl, you are better be cashing out. Secure the bag, get that dough, get that money because that man isn’t yours. Sis, he isn’t yours. He belongs to another woman so please it had better be worth it. Don’t go and collect chocolate and flowers as gifts from a married man oh.
“If you do, your head needs to be examined. If you are dating a married man, chop his money, collect his money because that man is already married. So stupid girls will be dating a married man will be doing love…sis he is not yours. He belongs to another woman so use your brain”
However defending herself after the backlash that trailed the video, the actress said she will never encourage girls to be side chicks to married or single men. She claimed that she was taken out of context as some parts of the video was cut off by ”mischievous persons.”
According to Mercy Aigbe, the video shared on Valentine’s Day was meant to be a fun video for everyone to laugh and also get her message. She added that she was encouraging married men to stay faithful to their wives because if they don’t, they will get extorted by their side chicks.
The actress stated that she always tells girls they can get way more than what they get from married men when they work on their own because there is dignity in labour. Mercy also averred that everything she owns is from her sweat and everything said about her when the first video went viral is not who she is.

Their secret affair has been going on since April last year. A married woman with 2 kids, I checked her profile I saw her kids and husband photos everywhere, she has visited my fiance at home several times, I saw lot of romantic messages.

Manchester United footballer Mason Greenwood has been released on bail pending further investigation.
On Sunday, Greenwood was detained on suspicion of rape and assault after a woman alleging incidents of violence posted pictures and videos on social media.
Police were granted extra time on Monday to question the 20-year-old and he was further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.
On Wednesday, Greater Manchester Police said Greenwood was released from custody on bail pending further inquiries.
A statement said: "A 20-year-old man arrested (on Sunday 30 January 2022) on suspicion of the rape and assault of a woman has been released on bail pending further investigation".
Greenwood was suspended from playing or training with Manchester United following the weekend allegations.
The allegations were posted on Instagram on Sunday morning and included videos, photographs and a voice note which claimed to be a conversation between Greenwood and the woman. They have since been deleted.
Complainants of sexual offences must not be identified and their anonymity is protected for life under the law.
Greenwood made his debut in 2019 and has since made 129 appearances for Manchester United. He made his senior England debut in 2020.
On Tuesday night, Manchester United released a statement reiterating their "strong condemnation of violence of any kind".
The club added: "As previously communicated, Mason Greenwood will not train with, or play for, the club until further notice."
The striker, from Bradford, was earlier removed from versions of the FIFA 22 game following his initial arrest after Nike suspended their deal with the player.
A spokesperson from the game's manufacturer Electronic Arts said: "Mason Greenwood has been removed from active squads in FIFA 22 and has also been suspended from appearing in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) packs and Ultimate Draft."
An earlier Nike statement read: "We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation."
