Goodness4525:
On this faithful day,we were on religious analysis and one of my uncles who is a redeemed member throws a question to us all, and no one can give affirmative answers to that question

so I will like to also ask the same question here with hope of getting some answers

As a Christian,most of us have been attending kinds if crusades and viewed many others live on TV, have been made to see and believed the accomplishments of different miracles ranging from where the blinds received his /her sight ,where the lame got on his feet,the miraculous cures of HIV, cancer, stomach urcer,infertility etc

Now the question is apart from the ones we normally see on the screen,as anyone confirm these miracles by identifying someone he knew anywhere with ailments or deformity of any sort,and at a time seen the person not in the state he was as a result of healing accomplished by a said man of God

Pls do well to tell us ur experience to validate the power of God through our anointed pastors


I was in the Redemption Camp last year for the special Holy Ghost Service. Pastor Adeboye said God was healing eyes now. I used glasses. It was so bad that the lenses on each eye were of different powers. Immediately after the service, I entered a bookstore nearby, asked the seller to give me a tiny, cute print. The woman was suggesting something big but I insisted on tiny font telling her that God has just healed my eyes.

Lol an behold, I could read clearly the tiniest thing ever since.
Hallelujah!!!!

بِسْــــــــــــــــــــــمِ اَللّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِِ

وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَأَحْسِن كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

"And seek by means of what Allah has given you the future abode and do not neglect your portion of this world and do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you and do not seek to make mischief in the land, surely Allah does not love the mischief-makers". Q28 V77.
************************
Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal once told a story of a woman who was hungry and left her hungry son to look for a loaf of bread.. While she left to get what she can use to feed her son, a kidnapper came and took the boy to sell him into slavery.

When she returned and discovered that her little boy was gone, she bursted into tears.

Meanwhile, a beggar passed by asking for food despite her pain, hunger and fears, she handed the man the loaf of bread she had been carrying for herself and her son..

In just a few minutes, the kidnapper came back with her little boy. He told her, "As I was trying to sell him, a strange voice from within said to me,’ Don’t you have a son? Aren’t you afraid that he might face the same fate one day?’ So, I came back to return your boy.”

The woman took her child in her arms and said:” Glory be to Allah, who has accepted my loaf of bread as charity.”

Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: “Allah will help His servant as long as he helps his brother.” 📚(Muslim)

O Allah,

We pray to you to come to our aid and ease our affairs especially at this time of Socioeconomic brouhaha.

We pray for Abundance and Sufficiency concerning our needs and wants.

We pray you to continue to guard and guide us aright and help us remain ethical as we work to make ends meet and Above all, admit us into your Paradise when our time is up.

Happy Jumaat, Happy Weekend

Religion / Re: How God Answered Jesus' Prayer In The Garden Of Gethsemane by MightySparrow: 10:37am On Feb 22
Abdulgaffar22:
All the Christian denominations including the Jehovah witnesses believe that Jesus suffer and died for our sins on the cross ( or on the stake). But what is the actual meaning of the statement: "Jesus suffer and died for our sins" ? The meaning of this statement can only be understood in two ways. It is either Jesus suffer and died on the cross so that we can have access to divine forgiveness for our sins- OR-Jesus suffer and died on the cross to remove our sinful nature so that we can have immunity against committing sins. However, complete removal of humanity sinful nature is impossible as nobody can be completely free from committing minor sins. Bible also attests to this fact; "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us( 1John 1:7-9)
Therefore, the statement: "Jesus suffer and died for our sins" can only have a conceivable meaning if Jesus suffer and died on the cross so that we can have access to divine forgiveness for our sins.
But why MUST Jesus suffer and die on the cross before God can forgive our sins? If it is an act of injustice for God to freely forgive our sins, then is it not a GREATER ACT OF INJUSTICE for God to condemn an innocent and righteous soul for the sins he did not commit ?
Besides, Bible make it clear that any one that is crucified is accursed by God ( Galatians 3:13). How then are we to conceive a merciful and omnipotent God putting His BELOVED prophet under His CURSE when God of course knew that Jesus never did anything wrong?
If God is All-powerful and All-knowing Creator which ( therefore) cannot be compelled to follow one particular way, then He must have chosen at least one rational way to forgive our sins and earn our salvation . God Almighty must have set aside any irrational way that will later require Him to curse and condemn His innocent and beloved prophet for something that can be achieved through another means. Yes, one of the rational means which God has chosen to forgive our sins and earn our salvation is SINCERE REPENTANCE from our sinful acts : “Son of man, say to the Israelites; this is what you are saying: our offenses and sins weigh us down, and we are wasting away because of them. How then can we live? Say to them: as surely as I live declares the sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! TURN FROM YOUR EVIL WAYS! Why will you die, people of Israel? Therefore, son of man say to your people… if someone, one who is wicked, REPENTS, that person’s former wickedness will not bring condemnation… And if I say to the wicked person, you will surely die, but they then TURN FROM THEIR SINS and do what is just and right…follow the decree that gives life, and do no evil--THAT PERSON WILL SURELY LIVE :THEY WILL NOT DIE. NONE OF THE SINS that person has committed will be remembered against them.They have done what is just and right; they will surely live (Ezekiel 33:10-16)" . Did God ask the wicked sinners to believe in Jesus crucifixion before their sins can be forgiven (or before they can live) in all these verses? What He actually wants from them is sincere repentance from their sinful ways. Qur'an also pass the same message: O you who believe! Turn to Allah with SINCERE REPENTANCE! It may be that your Lord will REMIT FROM YOU YOUR SINS, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Qur'an 66:7-9)
Another rational way that God has chosen in the past for the people to achieve divine forgiveness of sins is through animal sacrifice. Leviticus 16:21-30 says as follow: "the GOAT will carry on itself ALL THE SINS of Israelites to a remote place and the man shall release the goat in the wilderness..... Then before the LORD, you will be CLEAN FROM ALL YOUR SINS”. Please is there any indication in these verses that the sins of Israelites were only "cover" and not completely taken away? God says; “Then before the LORD, you will be CLEAN FROM ALL YOUR SINS”. Yet the New Testament proclaimed that it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin (Hebrew 10:4). This is another great lie that was fabricated to justify the doctrine of sin atonement through Jesus crucifixion.
If God can truly atone for our sins through animal sacrifice as the verses in the book of Leviticus quoted above affirm, then is there any need again for God to shed the blood of innocent human being on the cross ?
Therefore, if divine forgiveness for our sins is what we really need to gain eternal life, then the death of Jesus on the cross IS NOT NECCESSARY; God can decide to forgive our sins through sincere repentance or through animal sacrifice as He has done with the people that lived and died before Jesus arrival. These two ways are far more better than that irrational way which will later require God Almighty to condemn and curse His innocent and beloved prophet for something that can be acheived through another rational means.
Some Christians might want to argue that Jesus crucifixion make them entitle to many spiritual benefits that GO BEYOND achieving divine forgiveness for our sins. But no matter how numerous the spiritual benefits that can be derived from Jesus crucifixion, there is no way for such benefits to be ACTUALIZED in the life of the Old Testament prophets (like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah etc) because they have lived and died before Jesus arrival talkless of his supposed crucifixion. Yet these people manage to earn their salvation and reconcilation back to God (because there is no any biblical verse that says these Old Testament Prophets were in a certain state of condemnation after their death until the time of Jesus crucifixion). So if these old testament prophets, who happened to be among the children of Adam, were able to gain their salvation without Jesus crucifixion, then there is alternative way also for the other children of Adam to gain their salvation without Jesus crucifixion. Therefore, the Christian doctrine which says that: "All powerful and All merciful God must condemn and curse His innocent and beloved son on the cross before the children of Adam can earn their salvation" is FALSE.
The falsehood behind this doctrine will become more clear to you when you consider the following premises of argument. You will see that the frequently-quoted verse( His ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts—they are higher than ours-Isaiah 55:8 ) that Christians always use to justify this irrational doctrine cannot work this time around. It would only work if the Christians can believe that God Almighty can decide to choose a way of doing something that will later require Him to commit an act of lying . Now read the following six premises of argument and indicate with reason any one that is wrong.
PREMISE 1: As part of our concept about God; God is naturally known to ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH just like God is naturally known to ALWAYS SANCTIFY( i:e to endorse and bless spiritually ) HIS INNOCENT AND BELOVED PROPHETS.
PREMISE 2: Therefore, for any reason whatsoever, it is IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO SPEAK A LIE just like it is IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO CURSE (i:e to condemn spiritually ) HIS INNOCENT AND BELOVED PROPHETS
PREMISE 3: Consequently, if there is a religious faith which proclaims that GOD MUST SPEAK A LIE at a particular period of time in order to execute a plan designed by God Himself, then that religious faith must be false.
PREMISE 4 : Similarly, if there is religious faith which proclaims that GOD MUST CURSE( i:e to condemn spiritually) HIS INNOCENT AND BELOVED PROPHET at a particular period of time in order to execute a plan designed by God Himself, then that religious faith must also be false.
PREMISE 5 : But Christianity is a religious faith which proclaim that AN INNOCENT AND BELOVED PROPHET OF GOD (i:e Jesus Christ) MUST BE PUT UNDER THE CURSE OF THE SAME GOD ( see Deuteronomy 21:23, Galatians 3:13) before God can execute a plan He personally designed to save those who believe in Him.
PREMISE 6: Therefore, Christianity must be false.

God may allow His innocent and beloved prophet to suffer (i:e TO BE PHYSICALLY CONDEMNED) for one reason or the other. But God would never "curse" ( i:e SPIRITUALLY CONDEMN) His innocent and beloved prophet for any reason whatsover. Therefore, there is need for God to send another prophet to remove this negative and bad picture of God from the minds of the general humanity. This is one of the many reasons why Qur’an was revealed by God to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In the Holy Qur’an, God removed this negative and bad impression from the minds of the people by declaring that, in a miraculous way, Jesus escaped death on the cross (Qur’an 4:157-158). In this way, the "curse of God" associated with any one that is crucified and died on a cross according to the Jewish law (Galatians 3:13, Deuteronomy 21:23) was removed from the head of our beloved and innocent prophet called Jesus Christ (peace be upon him). This is exactly in line with the prayer of Jesus to God in the garden of Gethsemane when he asked for this “cup of condemnation” to be taken away from him in THREE consecutive times as stated clearly in Matthew 26:36-44. Therefore, an illogical and contradictory concept of "a merciful and omnipotent Father who could not see any other way of saving those who sincerely believe in Him except to condemn and curse His innocent and beloved son on the cross" is completely far away from the truth.











Your argument is logical but what do you suppose the Bible and Christianity does not agree with your position and Islam?

These are northern design to rule at all cost. They should solve their problem.

A average child in the south would wake up and head for school or a place to learn a trade. The northern child is roaming the street as almajiri and herders and urchins in the streets.
Their elders and imams deceive them that western education is Haram. Islamic education is useless in a secular world.


Why would there be a special treatment for the north? They are the problem of Nigeria, they contribute more of nuisance to Nigeria than any meaningful things.
