ERAKAMUS:
After serious observation it is now clear that the problem of Yorubas is the FANATICAL MUSLEMS who prefer to align with the Northerners, Meanwhile an average Northerner has no atom of regard for the Yoruba Muslems even during Crises e.g a case study of the Kaduna So I want to urge the FANATICAL YORUBA MUSLEMS to please desist from this malicious act not minding either you are being paid or not, Please we need peace in the southern Nigeria.
God Bless Nigeria.
Why not concentrate on actualisation of your Biafra and leave Yoruba alone? Head or tail, yoruba cannot be marginalised. When the time comes for a Yoruba man to occupy Aso rock,, it is as easy as ABC.

If you OP is about 30 years no you are not sure of an Igbo man getting there. When you wail about the first class citizens of Nigeria, look after your own problems.

If Igbos have anything to do with biblical history, they look more like descendants of Cain more than that of Israel. Why real Israelis are moving homeward they are not.

Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. - Genesis 4:14

Christianity EtcRe: Living The Fasted Life by MightySparrow: 2:07am On Sep 24, 2015

The Fasted Life
When I first went out in the field ministry, I set aside two days a week—Tuesday and Thursday—for my fast days. I wasn't led of the Lord to do it; I just fasted two days a week. I fasted 24 hours, because that was the way Israel did it. I took the extra time that I would have been eating to pray. Remember, fasting will not do you much good if you're not going to spend extra time praying, waiting on God. I made the greatest spiritual strides yet in my ministry during that time of fasting two days a week. I shut myself up in my church and spent many hours praying. I said to my wife, "I know when we eat. If I don't come out to eat, don't send the children after me. You'll know I'm going to skip that meal." I did quite a bit of fasting. I also did quite a bit of praying, and I spent that extra time in the Word of God. And often—because the church was next door—I got up and went over in the night to pray while everyone else was asleep. One night I prayed all night long. Many nights I prayed nearly all night long. I spent time fellowshipping with God, waiting on Him, walking up and down the aisles praying. (There was enough light from the streetlight shining through the windows that I didn't have to turn the lights on.) It wasn't just the fasting; it was the extra time I took to wait on God and spend time in His Word that did something for me spiritually. Fasting will help keep the flesh under and make you more sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Singers know this principle. If they eat a big meal and try to come out and sing, they are bogged down. Preachers know that. That's the reason we don't like to eat before we preach. If we do, we find we are uncomfortable and not so spiritually sensitive. After several years of fasting two days a week, the Lord said to me, "I would be more pleased if you would live a fasted life. I said, "What do you mean, a fasted life?" He said, “Never eat all you want. Keep your appetite under. That's all a fast is going to do anyway, keep the body under.” Do you know that is harder than fasting? I changed. I never had any more days of fasting. I never set any times of fasting unless the Spirit of God spoke to me. And I made greater spiritual strides living the fasted life. Much of the time I ate only one meal a day while I was in meetings. (I still do that much of the time.) I noticed that healings came more easily when I did this. When it came to laying hands on people to receive the Holy Spirit, I wouldn't eat at all. If we'd run into a hard spot and things weren't happening like I thought they should, I'd fast by drinking a little juice. If I needed more strength physically, I'd start eating, but I never ate all I wanted. I started having more results because I more or less constantly lived the fasted life. One time I went to Kansas City to hold a meeting. When I got there, the pastor said, "Brother Hagin, something has arisen and I've got to be out of town part of this week. You go ahead and run the meeting to suit you and I'll be back toward the end of the week." I preached Sunday night. Monday morning we had a Bible lesson at 10 a.m. Monday night I preached. Tuesday morning I preached (I usually carried two services a day). Tuesday night I preached. This was the third day. One of the deacons said to me, "Brother Hagin, how do you like the restaurant at the motel?" I stopped and said, "You know what? I never thought about it. I haven't eaten since I've been here. I forgot it." Then I said, "That restaurant is closed down. There is a sign there that says 'Closed.'" He said, "Oh, we intended for you to eat there. What have you been doing about eating?" I said, "I never thought about eating until you mentioned it." When he said something about eating, I got hungry. Until then, I had been so taken up with spiritual things I hadn't thought anything about it. (Incidentally, I ate every day from then on.) For three weeks of meetings, those were the only three days I didn't eat. I wasn't fasting; I just never thought about eating. It never dawned on me to eat. When I did begin eating, I still had just one meal a day. What I'm trying to say is there are no iron-clad rules.
(Kenneth Hagin)


I was holding a meeting in a Full Gospel church in Houston, Texas, a number of years ago, and I was staying in the parsonage. The pastor's wife never said one word to me about her poor physical condition. (She had prayed for years and never had received anything.) God began to move in the services and bless people. Many were being healed. Afterwards, this pastor's wife testified, "I saw others being healed and I fasted." (She fixed something for her husband and me to eat, but she never sat down with us.) "I fasted and prayed a couple of days," she said, "and told the Lord I knew He could heal me." One night I was ministering after I preached, and I had a revelation concerning her. I began telling her what was wrong with her, because I saw it in the spirit; the Lord told me exactly what was wrong with her. The Word of Knowledge was in operation, and she received complete healing. (K. E. H)


Smith Wigglesworth said there were two young fellows in England who saw God's power demonstrated in his meetings at his wife's mission. "We wouldn't be surprised but what God would lead you down to Wales to raise up our Lazarus," they told him. They explained that Lazarus was a man who had spent his days working in a tin mine and his nights preaching. He had collapsed and become ill with tuberculosis, and for four years had been a helpless invalid, having to be fed with a spoon. Two years later the Lord spoke to Wigglesworth. Often this great man of faith would walk in the countryside. One day he climbed one of the highest mountains in Wales. He was on top, enveloped in the presence of God, when the Lord said to him, "I want you to go raise Lazarus." Wigglesworth wrote down what the Lord had said on a postcard, and mailed it to Lazarus' home. When he arrived, he was greeted at the door by a man holding the card. "Did you send this?" the man asked. "Do you think we believe in this? Here, take it!" And he threw it at Wigglesworth. Then the man called a servant and said, "Take this man and show him Lazarus." He said to Wigglesworth, "The moment you see him, you will be ready to go home." From the natural standpoint, this was true. The man was helpless. He was nothing but a mass of skin and bones —and he didn't have an ounce of faith. Wigglesworth knew when God has spoken, you don't give in. He left, but overnight rounded up seven others to stand with him in prayer. That night the Spirit of the Lord told him not to eat, so he skipped the evening meal and skipped breakfast the following morning. (He believed prayer and fasting to be a great joy.) The next day the eight of them went back to Lazarus' house. The same man let them in, and there lay that poor fellow looking like a corpse. While Smith had been fasting, God had told him what to do: "Don't pray; don't anoint him with oil; don't touch him. All eight of you gather around the bed, hold hands, and repeat the Name of Jesus." So he said, "We just stood around the bed and said, 'Jesus, Jesus, Jesus (all eight of them in unison), Jesus, Jesus!'" As they spoke, the power of God fell. Then it lifted like a cloud. They continued to hold hands and say, "Jesus, Jesus" and the power kept coming down and lifting. The sixth time it came down Lazarus said, "I've been bitter in my heart, and I know I have grieved the Spirit of God." He repented and cried out, "O God, let this be to thy glory." As he said that, the power of God went through him, healing him. Lazarus got up and dressed himself without any assistance. Then he and Smith walked downstairs singing the Doxology. Lazarus testified in an open-air meeting what God had done and many were saved. All the Spirit had said to Smith was, "Just miss two

Christianity EtcAbraham And Ravenous Birds by MightySparrow(op): 4:04pm On Sep 23, 2015
In the story of God and Abraham in Genesis 15: 9 - 18 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon. - Genesis 15:9
And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. - Genesis 15:10
And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away. - Genesis 15:11
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. - Genesis 15:12
And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; - Genesis 15:13
And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. - Genesis 15:14
And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. - Genesis 15:15
But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. - Genesis 15:16
And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. - Genesis 15:17
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: - Genesis 15:18

Does chasing the birds away by Abraham have anything to do with the prediction of four generations of captivity of Israekites? You opinion is needed pls.

That is a question ill like to hear people answer .



The question is, does a lame man really walks in a dream?. He might be dreaming that he is walking , but thoes he experience all the feelings,sensations, procedures that is associated with walking? If he does not experience such, then he is not really walking, or is he?
Some people can fly in their dreams.


I believe that friend created a view of you in his mind, most people can do that. When listening to radio, you can picture the person talking on radio while listening to such person. Since voices where different, automatically there will be a different picture visualized by the mind. The question you should ask ur friend is if he can describe you, using the picture in his mind and let's hear the result.


Ill like to hear the result of that too.

One question I ask people who believe that man is spirit in a human body is : does physical things control the spirits behavior and character. Is it the spirit that controls the function of the body or the body can also control the functions of the spirit.
What controls our feelings like pain, joy , attraction, urges and dreams, the body or the spirit.
Like you could deduce from my answer, I am not an expert I'm this. Topic. My friend I talked about never claimed to have seen me in his dreamed.
I like to refer you to a book: The Spiritual Man by watchman Nee. He writes extensively about this stuff. Please make your findings available for the learning of Nairalanders
Happy research.

If I understand you, you are talking of human spirit. It is the part of man or the real man that lives in the body. Just like you atimes stay in your car. If the car has flat tyre you are not expected to use your own as a spare.

However some part of the body when impaired does not make the corresponding part in the body functionless. When you drea your spirit is active I think a lame man does not see himself lame in dream. (I think)

I once asked a friend of man born blind without eyeballs if ever dreamed. I was shock to hear him say, ' of course' I now asked him if he saw me in his dream how do you know me since you have never seen pictures before? He said he saw pictures in dreams and that when one talks in a dream he would match the voice with the image by that he had the idea of how some people he was privileged to see look like.

This is a good topic and worthy of more research may be the deaf also can hear in some specal occasions.
