I don't even know which is the best governor currently between Sanwo Olu and Zulum.

Both are really trying their best to develop their respective states. Other states governors should wake up from their slumbering

I will give it to Zulum. Despise the insecurity challenges and unfavorable state of things, not having access to money as Sanwo - Olu, he has really tried.

Hikana:
APC in Abia state. Not even PDP.
I fear who no fear Nigeria. This is loud

Is it by attending the same church, what is your relationship with him or her? Is it by cleaning his shoe or carrying his bag so that he may notice you one day? Tell me, I am curious to know. I know your type

If not for security reasons I would send you his contact and ask him how close we are.

Web2020:
But you celebrated the Photo between Tinubu and Asari Tokunbo in Aso Rock. I wish this was Tinubu the all Social Media would have been flooded with the photo. Who said it is not an achievement? Can you even have a handshake with your local government chairman not to talk of your governor?

I am from a state where the governor respect the citizens. Besides, the chairman attends my church. So....?

Acekidc4:
So Nice, atleast Igbos can use this one to console theirselves!! This is Probably their biggest achievement ever.

Exactly, Ogunlesi was appointed into Obama's group of people that worked with him. Taking a selfie is now an achievement.

Abeg make a person of yorubas origin be next president after Obama jàre.

No wonder Lagosians stood by him to win his second term.

No wonder they didn't look the side of Chinedu aka Gbadebo.

I attended a parish of RCCG today and this topic was taught in the Sunday School. I find it interesting and informative.

*SUNDAY SCHOOL HYMN*
1. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
O how I love Thee well,
I am happy, it makes me glad
To rejoice at Thy birth.

2. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Thy friend friendship suits me well,
Both young and will sing Thy song,
We long for Sunday School.

3. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Christ was Thy first teacher,
The Holy Spirit, great teacher,
Does manifest in thee.

4. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
This testimony is sure,
That God, the Father Almighty,
Poured His blessing on Thee

5. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day,
Though the sun be so bright,
Or if the clouds be black with rain,
I’ll be in Sunday School.

6. O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day
I rejoice to see Thee,
Will thou pass over me today?
Without my being blest?

BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 18:1-3,16-22

[1]And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

[2]And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

[3]And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

[16]And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

[17]And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

[18]Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

[19]For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

[20]And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

[21]I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

[22]And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.

MEMORY VERSE: And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. Exodus 34:5.

INTRODUCTION: The term “Theophany” comes from the Ancient Greek theophaneia, meaning “appearance of a deity.” Specifically, a “theophany” is a visible or tangible manifestation of God. In its most restrictive sense, it is a visible appearance of God in the Old Testament period, often, but not always, in human form. The use of the term “theophany” is restricted here to manifestations of God in temporary forms visible to the eyes (not in dreams). A frequent introduction for theophanies may be seen in the phrase “the Lord came down” (Genesis 11:5; Exodus 34:5).

OUTLINES:
1. CATEGORIES AND BIBLICAL INSTANCES
2. THE INCARNATION OF CHRIST

1. CATEGORIES AND BIBLICAL INSTANCES
Some of the tangible or visible manifestations of God are found in three categories: appearance as a man, non-human form, and appearance as an angel.
A. Appearance As A Man: Biblical instances include:
Genesis 18:1-3, 13, 17 – Abraham had some visitors: two angels and God Himself. He invited them to come to his home, and he and Sarah entertained them.
Genesis 32:22-30 – Jacob wrestled with what appeared to be a man, but was God (vs.28-30).
Daniel 3:23-25 – The fourth man in the fire is none other than God.

B. Non-Human Form:
Exodus 24: 16-18 – Frequently, the term “glory of the Lord” reflects a theophany.
Deuteronomy 31:14-15 – God appeared to Moses and Joshua in the transfer of leadership to Joshua “…in a pillar of cloud….”

C. Appearance As “The Angel of the LORD”: This is also called “Angelophany.” There is a difference between “an angel” and “the Angel of the Lord.” The Angel of the Lord usually refers to himself as the Lord or God in the Old Testament. It is not every appearance of angels that is a theophany. Biblical instances include:
Genesis 16:7-14 – The angel of the Lord appears to Hagar. The angel speaks as God himself in the first person, and in verse 13 Hagar identifies “the LORD that spoke to her” as “The God” Who sees.”

Genesis 22:11-12 – The angel of the Lord appears to Abraham and refers to himself as God in the first person.
Genesis 31:11-13 – “The angel of God” says, “…I am the God of Beth-el”.
The pre-incarnate appearance of Christ (in the Old Testament) is called “Christophany.” Jesus is the fulfilment of God’s presence. He is the one to which every theophany – in the Old Testament – was pointing (Hebrews 1:1-3; John 1:1, 14).

However, the incarnation of Christ is different from the Old Testament instances of theophany. The Old Testament theophanies are preliminary – they foreshadow and prefigure the coming of Christ in the flesh. The coming of Christ is their fulfilment – their climax (Matthew 5:17). In addition, Christ’s incarnation is permanent, while the theophanies in the Old Testament were temporary. It is through Jesus that we will finally and fully experience the presence of God with us (Revelation 21:1-4).
The class should discuss why they believe Christ is the fullness of God’s presence any man could wish for.

CONCLUSION: The main point of a theophany is to know that God is present with humanity. That is ultimately expressed through Christ.

Knowledge23:
I have been doing so many research recently about many things they told us about supernatural Powers, miracles Juju or black magic and religion to see things for myself to know if really all these things are real or they are just made up stories.

So these are some of my findings

This is a common one that most of you must have heard and it was the reason I embarked on this search because all my life I have always believed it until I decided to investigate and find out myself.

1, Indian beat Nigerian 100 - 1[b][/b]
I don't want to go into details of what I found out but I know you guys now know the truth because that never happened.

2, BERMUDA TRIANGLE
After researching and reading about the truth behind the so called strange happenings, it turned out that Bermuda triangle is just like other places and their is nothing special about it. I could have gone into more details but I just want to make this post as short as possible.

3, JUJU OR BLACK MAGIC
There's one young man his name is Gbenga Adewoyin, he offered #2.5million naira to anyone who can prove to him that juju or supernatural Powers exist and as I'm writing this post no one has been able to come out and claim that money.
He has been to many states, radio stations and in social media yet no one was able to prove to him that all those Powers, miracles and juju exists.
He even said in one of the radio stations where he was been interviewed that you don't need to come to him physically but yet nothing.

Another thing that I don't understand is in this day and age of technology that camera is everywhere yet not one single evidence of where juju or supernatural Powers manifested. Instead it's doctored and edited videos you will see everywhere.

Even the magicians that I thought that have powers, I later found out that all those magics they perform are just tricks.

I will stop here for now, but I'm still open to anyone who will prove to me that I'm wrong.

I am laughing in your native language.

Yes.
1Cor.14.40 -
Let all things be done decently and in order.
Marriage is an institution established by God himself. In the Law of Moses, it has rules and regulations and festivities.

In the New Testament, Jesus attended a wedding. The wedding was done according to the Jewish tradition. Christianity is not built on Jewish tradition.

The church must evolve a tradition of it's own. Mind you tradition is an evolving phenomenon.
For naming, birthday, wedding, burial, all these are taking seriously in any society. It may not mean much to God but since it is not a sin also pointed out by Him, it is acceptable.


I know someone may say, It is not clearly stated in the New Testament. Yet it is a thing of honour to marry.
Every society has tradition so is church!
If it is done to bring decency to marital issues in the church.
I think it is scriptural.


2Cor.3.2 - Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
2Cor.3.3 - Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

There are two types of scriptures: the written on pages of books and the lifestyle and tradition of the church derived from the written.

Someone who I know to be fervent in spirit just fell because of that same sin.

Most people become overconfident and careless. Some evil women even believe that sleeping with a Man of God would solve their problem.
.

Besides, I don't believe sexual sin is always accidental. It is a premeditated action carried out when opportunity presents itself. Either of the parties involved is not innocent.
