Education / Re: Out-of-school Children Across States In Nigeria (ages 6–15) by MightySparrow: 8:48pm On Mar 19
SHINJA:


Bcus they have very little population..

Not really, Ekiti has culture of education before. In the old western state , Ekiti and ogun divisions were more educated than others. They were in every office from region to federal.

Until lately, Ekiti treasures education more than anything. If you don't have a graduate in your family, you don't win any recognition.


Ekiti produced the first medical doctor in 1896, Dr. Orisadeyi Obasa.

Religion / Re: KENNETH HAGGIN'S BOOK FOR YOUR SPIRITUALITY by MightySparrow: 3:40pm On Mar 19
I like this man. He was bed ridden for sixteen months, condemned to death by his doctor, Erwin. The doctor was prolific in his practice. Hagin's grandfather was rich and well connected. He involved this doctor to try his expertise on his grandson. The doctor advised he go home to die. He began to study the Bible on the sick bed and came across Mark 11:23. He reasoned whether God was joking or meant what he read. He began to exercise his faith and was cured of three deadly diseases: poisoned blood, bad heart condition, and paralysis. He became a preacher of faith for nearly seven decades.

He adopted to the name Erwin as his middle name in rememberance of the doctor who tried and could not heal him.

Kenneth Erwin Hagin.

He didn't go any seminary, no Governing Body to confuse him.
He discovered God and his eternal power and faithfulness all by himself.
Glory to God.

Haha, Benin is number 4 biggest city in Nigeria behind Ibadan, Kano, and Lagos. Edo is one of the six states with high IGR in Nigeria. No excuse.

This is what is called governance. How can we have refineries and be importing fuels? How can we have expanse of land across the nation and be hungry? How can we turn out hundreds of thousands of engineering graduates from various institutions and be importing toothpicks?

Crime / Re: Soldiers Kill 50 Okuama Villagers – Fleeing Residents Say; Army Denies Claim by MightySparrow: 3:39am On Mar 19
Feintline:
This is 2024 .
The Nigerian army cannot be behaving like 1999.

The act of killing our soldiers is very bad and the hoodlums should be dealt with but not in this fashion of killing innocent peope in their houses.

What happened to tactical investigations to fish out the group that carried out the killings.

This is like Gaza and Israel. The youths looked for trouble. Soldiers are not trained for arresting people. I don't think they understand that language. If the youths are stupid, their parents that failed to train them should bear the cost.

Those soldiers they killed were someone's father, husband, sons, helpers, heroes...
They were sent there to maintain peace. They were killed in cold blood. What do you think should be the reason and reasonable justice for their dastardly acts?

The tide is turning my brother.
In the hay days of Boko Haram, they were cheered whenever they shot at JTF, looted banks and attacked churches. A time came when JTF began to fight those that harboured them,, banks left the region, churches tightened security. Then, Boko Haram turned on the communities, killing worshippers on mosques, killing emirs. The urchins northern leaders failed to train yesterday are now monsters. These monsters would destroy them in no time. They are already seen the handwriting on the wall.

In fact, the north should dread disintegration today, because to the region would fight wars for a very long time.

We have our own fasting stick [/b]to yours the OP is talking about someone who narrowly escaped death due to hunger strike that his religion called "fasting" for him that's why i'm here so if your own religion supports the same idea go ahead and show the OP how to go about it without having issues with your flesh!

This is what God said:

[b]"This is the fast that I choose: To remove the fetters of wickedness, To untie the bands of the yoke bar, To let the oppressed go free, And to break in half every yoke bar; It is to share your bread with the hungry, To bring the poor and homeless into your house, To clothe someone naked when you see him, And not to turn your back on your own flesh" Isaiah 58:6-7


So if you choose to destroy your own flesh (body) through hunger strike it's OK just show the OP where people in Bible times fasted and ate at intervals!


The bolded has said it all meaning that those that fasted Isaiah were wrong from Genesis to Isaiah, and those that fasted after were wrong by the standard of JWs, not necessarily by God's.

Be deceiving yourself.

Please next time don't quote me if you're not competent enough to handle scripturally based discussions.

The word FASTING is not about food that's the truth otherwise ask any of your pastors to quote how Christians fasted and ate at intervals as they've made you to believe!


You don't seem to understand what you are talking about. Fasting in both testaments are the same. There is nothing like New Testament fasting. All that fasted didn't fast for life. It is either total abstinence from food or partially for a season. If you can clearly give any references of your claim beautiful.
Religion / Re: I Thought Driving On An Empty Tank Was A Miracle Until I Experienced It And ……. by MightySparrow: 5:32am On Mar 17
Daejumong:
Was on a journey and noticed the fuel light came up on the highway. Was jittery as there was no fuel station around. I eventually drove like 40kms to the nearest station with so much fear and prayers.
Was it a miracle ? I asked a truck driver I met there and he smiled and said cars can still go for many kilometers after the fuel signal comes up.
Did some research and I found this
How many kilometers can you drive on an empty tank?
With some exceptions (Korean-made models, for example), most vehicles can go another approximately 90 to 130 kilometres before the engine sputters and dies, forcing the driver to walk all the way to the nearest gas station or call a roadside assistance service.
Knowledge is power because many people don’t know this including clerics who sometimes ascribe this to a supernatural force and power.


What you experienced is a miracle but not. Your ignorance of the working of the engine is not a miracle. I remember pastor Adeboye who claimed to have experienced that was s in in the 70s
No modern vehicles then. He drove from Ore in Ondo state to Lago's. That is a real miracle.

Yours also is a miracle, someone provided Aan answer to your ignorance.

Much more than these are happening all over the world. If you read the story of Ayọ Babalola, you will be startled.

Miracles are real.
Happy Sunday.

Matthew 10: 5-8

2 Corinthians 2:7

Papa ia not applying either

Matthew 10:5-8
[5]These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
[6]But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[7]And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
[8]Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.


2 Corinthians 2:7
[7]So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.



You are a mumu.
What relevance is 2Corithians 2:7 with the topic.
However, Jesus gave an instruction concerning evangelizing only the Lost Sheep of Israel alone. He said, they must not talk to any gentile .

Meaning, if they had met your great grandfather, to they were forbidden to talk to him. Here you are today, a gentile.
You don't understand what you teach. Didn't Jesus say he had other sheep? He he would bring them in so that there would be one fold and one shepherd? That is where you now belong.
The ball game has changed deluded hall goer.

Besides, which of these things - healing the sick, cleansing the leper.... do you do now. You just picked what is convenient for you to believe and explain away the rest?
Bravo!!!!

Did not Paul write that they that preach the gospel, giving spiritual food should be blessed with canal things?
Anyway, you don't know Bible, find the references your self.

But i showed you Isaiah 58:1-8 and instead of you to meditate you quickly dismissed it.

Did Isaiah say God welcome fasting that has to do with hypocritical hunger strike?

Jesus never taught his disciples to fast that's what the disciples of John the baptist came to ask him:

Then John’s disciples came to him and asked: “Why do we and the Pharisees practice fasting but your disciples do not fast?” John 9:14

John practiced fasting as part of the custom he met the Jews doing but Jesus never taught his own disciples so please explain how Jesus said his followers should fast as in something having to do with rejection of food! undecided


You are a mumu.
If you want to be dishonest, you will condemn Isaiah 58 being in Old Testament.


Where in the Gospel of John did Jesus teach about fasting?

You are a mumu.

Mark.2.19 - And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Mark.2.20 - But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.


Acts.13.2 - As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
Acts.13.3 - And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Acts.14.23 - And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.


Was it wrong for the apostles to have fasted? Let you GB continue to deceive you into delusion.

The other time you claim that the part that talks about fasting is not in original version in the Gospel of Mark 9:29.
Your claim would have been reasonable if there is no record of people that fasted for various reasons after the ascension of Christ..
Here are records and references.


People who follow the rules today see power as in the days of the Apostles. Your organization has argument. We have evidence. When Adeboye claimed to have fasted 40 days thrice a year, prayed and Earth shook for him. Didn't it happen for Paul and Silas?

Oyedepo fasted till he was vomiting blood check all others.

Be deceiving yourself and sheepies who buy into your delusion.


The other day, my brother (your members) claimed that whenever he prayed, he would be tormented in his dreams. I laughed at him and ignorance of spiritual things. Familiar spirits in our background are teaching him lessons.

You see what i mean?

You can't answer because you know that what those people in the Bible called FASTING does not require eating at intervals it's all through soberness without food for as long as they live during what is called fasting.

Well fasting is doing what God's Son require of us which is not acceptable in the world.


Lie Sir. Moses also sober went without food only for forty days twice not his entire lifetime. Daniel ate at intervals. Jesus went without food for forty days in His earth life only once. Paul said 'often'
2Cor.6.5 KJV- In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
2Cor.11.27 KJV- In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and unclothedness.

Where do you see this logic of yours, extra biblical Revelations?
Though your NWT translation is misleading. Where Paul separated hunger and fasting, it muddles the the things together.(Organization Against Jehovah). grin grin

in labor and toil, in sleepless nights often,+ in hunger and thirst,+ frequently without food,+ in cold and lacking clothing.*
2Corithians 11:27 NWT.

As I said, I have some of you around me, none of them practice this 'fasting,' of yours! Oh, my brother can demolish bowls of eba and okro! grin

Guy please stop quoting me if you're not ready for divine wisdom.

Fasting has a meaning it's not just about food that's what God told Israelites when they're not ready to do the right thing because it will cost them instead they will go on hunger strike thinking they can fool God.
Fasting is avoiding what is bad and sticking to what is good even though it will come at an high cost! Isaiah 58:1-10

It's about sharing what a believer has with his fellow believers and always standing for justice not turning away from such then starving yourself and claiming it's for God.

If anyone wants to fast among all those claiming Muslims and Christians in the house of Senate and Reps they should all speak the truth at all times including what happened in the elections plainly.

Of course it will cost most of them their seats in government, that's what God call fasting not just starving yourself for no just course! undecided


Alariwo.

These are Muslims: what fasting is for Muslims may not be the same for Hindus. The cruz of the matter is, don't use your template to judge others. You were a Muslim before. The mode of fasting among Muslims and Christians are not the same. People like you like to qoute Isaiah alone for fasting. Is it because others in both Old Testament and New Testament did fast for various reasons? Why should a particular occurrence for a specific reason be a datum to judging others.
Jesus fasted, Moses, David, Paul etc.

I can spot hypocrisy here.
