Christianity EtcWhy Do We Close Our Eyes While Praying? by MrAladin(op): 12:07pm On Oct 12, 2013
NOTE: Please This Question is Meant For people who pray

My problem is that even while my
eyes are shut my fickle mind is
always wandering!
Christianity EtcRe: A Thread For Catholics by MrAladin(op): 10:54am On Oct 12, 2013
Syncan: @ Mr. Al, would you say that all that happens to us, good or bad is the will of God?
Ro 8:28 All things work together for good.
The third ground of encouragement to
saints in suffering is now given. To them,
under God's providence, all things, even
their sorrows, trials and persecutions, work
together for blessing. This precious
assurance is not to all mankind, saint and
sinner, but is limited to a class. To them that
love God. These are those who enjoy the
blessed assurance just given. Notice the
order in the Revised Version, which is the
order of the Greek, "to them that love God all
things work together for good". The love of
God is the very foundation of the Christian
life. See Lu 10:28 and Joh 14:23. The
expression, "them that love God", is
synonymous with "Followers of Christ". See
1Co 2:9 Eph 6:24 2Ti 4:8 Jas 2:5. The two
expressions "them that love God" and "the
called" are are different ways of describing
the same class. To them who are the called.
These have been called by the gospel and
have accepted the call. Many others are
called Jews and Gentiles, but only those who
hear and obey are chosen (Mt 20:16 20:14).
Paul uses the term of the latter class; those
who hear and obey. The evidence that we
are "the called" is that we love God.
According to [his] purpose. This call was
purposed from the time that God promised
a Deliverer of the fallen race (Ge 3:15).

CrimeMilitary, SSS Capture Top Boko Haram 'commander' In Kaduna by MrAladin(op): 9:39am On Oct 12, 2013
An impeccable military source has confirmed
to SaharaReporters that a combined team of
Nigerian soldiers, police, and operatives of
the State Security Service (SSS) has rounded
up top Boko Haram ‘commanders’ after
combing several locations in Kaduna State
this week.
The source said the captured Boko Haram
“commanders” were the brains behind a
series of violent attacks carried out in the
state in recent weeks. He added that they
were caught as they planned to launch new
attacks in the town of Kaduna during the
Sallah festivities.
The military source stated that security
operatives recovered extensive
incriminating evidence from the captured
leaders of the extremist Islamist leaders.
“We got evidence from them to suggest
their direct affiliation with Boko Haram and
also that they were part and parcel of the
recent attacks,” he said.
The source also disclosed that his combined
team also captured several foot soldiers of
the Boko Haram sect, adding that they were
under interrogation.
The joint military-SSS raid that netted the
Boko Haram members was carried out in
the Rigasa District in Kaduna State.
“The operations brought us face to face to
the reality that we must intensify our
operations. We are using patrols and other
strategies we will not talk about now to
contain any plans by them [Boko Haram]
during Sallah festivities,” the military officer
said.
Last Sunday, suspected Boko Haram sect
members ambushed a policeman. They shot
him dead, and then escaped with his rifle.

Can you please shed some light on this "perfect will" of God? What does it mean?

For more knowledge you can read
ROMAN 12:2
Christianity EtcRe: A Thread For Catholics by MrAladin(op): 9:11am On Oct 12, 2013
striktlymi: Morning Al,

Can you please shed some light on this "perfect will" of God? What does it mean?
God’s will is a topic not only coveted by
people, also little bit confusing as far as
its practical side is concerned. In order to
bring clarity on that topic, let us take the
establishment of Israel monarchy, as a
case study.
There are two levels of Gods will.
1) Perfect will
2) Permissive will
God’s ultimate goal was that He himself
should be their king and rule them. But,
He foreknew that Israel people would
demand an human king, seeing gentiles
having monarchy governments. So God
already had commanded the code of
conduct for the king, in case of
monarchy being established, in
Deuteronomy: 17:14-20
When thou art come unto the land which
the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt
possess it and shalt dwell therein and
shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as
all the nations that are about me…….”
We read from the prophecies of Jacob in
the book of Genesis that there was a
probability of Monarchy.
Genesis: 17: 6
“……. and kings shall come out of thee”
Genesis 49:10-20
“The scepture shall not depart from
Judah……” and he shall yield royal
dainties.
Is Divine King double minded ?
Let us be aware of two themes that run
simultaneously.
“It is my will that I should be your king”
said the Lord.
At the same time, He had written that
there was a probability for Monarchy and
Dynasty.
Is God double minded? Let us be sure
that there is neither confusion nor
contrariness in the Scriptures. Bible is
crystal clear.
It was His ultimate goal and perfect will
that people should accept Him as king
and obey Him.
But, As the image of God is inbuilt in man
and makes him to operate his freewill,
God never compels man for anything.
God never penetrates into man’s free will.
Unless and until he submits his freewill
upon the alter and confesses” Let it be
according to your will Lord, not
according to my will”, he does not
interfere in his life.
Here, you may be confused. This is the
reason for the struggle that we often
have in our lives. God has given us free
will and full freedom. He never interferes
in them. He remains so from then to
now.
Though He foreknew that Israel people
would deviate from His plan, why he
desired to be their king?
WHAT IS PERMISSIVE WILL?
Though we act against God`s will and
God`s plans , He never let us down .
Because He loves us deeply and
abundantly, He makes an alternative
arrangement. That is permissive will.
Though we are pulled by our self- desire
and select a way which is contrary to the
best plan which God has set for us, He
never gives up. God allows His permissive
will to be executed in a nation or in a
people group.
Many times, we fulfill His permissive will
only. We may not be prepared to fulfill His
perfect will. Even when we decide to do
what looks good to us, His loves never
lets us down. His love is the only reason
for not being forsaken.
But, only when we fulfill His perfect will,
We can receive His fullness of blessings.
Leaving perfect will and doing
permissive will brings limited blessings
and limited peace along with sufferings
and torments, into our lives.
Lord, It is enough that so far I have
walked in permissive will and received
limited blessings. Hereafter enable me to
fulfill your perfect will and inherit fullness
of blessings. Amen.
Irrevocable Decisions
We need to learn another lesson. In some
areas of life, it is possible to leave the
permissive will and reach the perfect will,
later on. But, in certain areas, our
decisions are irrevocable.
Establishing Monarchy in Israel was such
a thing.
In a western country, a sister, known to
me, got married. She is good in spiritual
life and in other areas. On the third day
from their Marriage, the new couple
attended a camp, where I preached.
When they came to me for prayer, they
opened their heart to me. She said, “I am
doubtful if our marriage is in line with
God’s will. It looks wrong that I married
this man. What to do?” Some people may
not think this far, about their marriage.
But, they may find the decision that they
have taken regarding marriage to be
incorrect. This is a difficult area. But, God
strengthened me to counsel them and
encourage them. When I left their
country, they came to the airport and
sent off me gladly.
Some people are confused about the
decision which they have made
regarding marriage. You cannot and
should not change your path, regarding
marriage life. In the same way, Israel
people had established Monarchy. This
was irrevocable and no way for coming
back.
Lord, help me to submit my free will at
your altar before taking any decision.
Some decisions are irrevocable. So,
help me to take pre-cautions. Enable
me to crucify my self-will and to
surrender myself. Though I have failed
in decision making in my past life, help
me to take the way which you have
pre-destined. Amen.
God loves this kind of commitment.
Perhaps, if you realise today that you
have failed to understand God’s will,
remember His love and grace.
Surrender yourself to them. Do good.
Surely you shall see the Lord who
sustains you and saves you and
protects you.
Christianity EtcRe: A Thread For Catholics by MrAladin(op): 8:09am On Oct 12, 2013
God has a reason for allowing things to
happen. We may never understand his
reasoning, but we simply have to trust his
perfect will.
Do you trust in God's perfect will?
CrimeGunmen Kidnap Cross River Deputy Governor Father. by MrAladin(op): 2:02am On Oct 12, 2013
The Cross River Police confirmed the kidnap.
The Police in Cross River on Friday confirmed
the abduction of Etubom Essien Cobham, the
father of the Deputy Governor, Efiok
Cobham, by gunmen at his country home in
Creek Town.
The Public Relations Officer of the Cross
River State Police Command, Hogan Bassey,
confirmed the development while speaking
with journalists in Calabar.
“For security reasons, I cannot tell you what
we are doing to rescue him.
“The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kola
Sodipo, and senior officers of the command
have gone to Creek Town to see the building
and the damage done,” Mr. Bassey said.
Witnesses said the gunmen abducted the
elder statesman at about 2 a.m. on Friday in
his residence at Creek Town in the Odukpani
Local Government Area of the state.
Sources said that the deputy governor’s
uncle, whose name was not immediately
ascertained, was also abducted by the
gunmen.
According to the sources in Creek Town,
there was so much shooting while the
operation lasted.
Sources disclosed that the heavily armed
abductors, accompanied by an Alsatian dog,
came in through the Calabar creeks with
two speed boats.
The incident, according to witnesses, lasted
for hours and took the community by
surprise as the kidnappers fired gun shots
indiscriminately to scare away any form of
resistance before executing their act.
On the number of persons abducted across
the state, Mr. Bassey said: “For now we are
talking of the father. In due course we will
give you details.”
On the incident at the residence of the
Director-General of the State Security Service
(SSS), Ita Ekpenyong, the police
spokesperson said the kidnappers could not
gain access to Mr. Ekpenyong’s place.
He said that though the house of the SSS
Director-General was allegedly attacked, the
attackers were repelled by security officials.
Efforts to get the State Government’s
reaction on the incident were not successful
as top government officials kept sealed lips
on the incident.

CrimeJTF, SSS Discover High Calibre Bomb Factory In Kano. by MrAladin(op): 9:12am On Oct 10, 2013
The Joint Security Task Force (JTF) said that it
discovered a high calibre bomb factory at
Gunduwawa village in Gezawa Local
Government Area of the state. The factory is
believed to belong to the extremist Boko
Haram sect.
The Commander, 3 Brigade of the Nigeria
Army, Kano, Brig.-Gen. Iliyasu Abba, made
the disclosure when he briefed newsmen in
Kano on Wednesday.
Mr. Abba said the discovery was made on
Tuesday around 2 a.m., during an operation
by a combined team of the JTF troops and
the Department of State Services (DSS)
operatives.
“At about 2 am on Oct. 8, a combined team
of the JTF troops and Department of State
Services raided two Boko Haram terrorists’
hideouts at Gunduwawa village in Gezawa
Local Government Area.
“The raid, which was conducted following a
lead on intelligence reports, made no arrests
as the terrorists fled the village on the
approach of the JTF troops and DSS
personnel,’’ he said.
He, however, said one person who was
believed to be the son of the owner of the
house was killed during the operation.
According to him, the deceased is said to
have rented the house to the fleeing
terrorists.
He said the team was also able to recover
weapons, working tools and materials used
for making improvised explosive devices
(EIDs).
He added that they recovered one assault
rifle, two AK58 rifle magazines with 193
rounds of 5.56mm ammunition, and one AK
47 rifle magazine with 107 rounds of
7.62mm (Special) ammunition and bows
and arrows.
Others are: three primed cylinders of IEDs,
one primed explosive suicide back pack, 18
empty IED cylinders, 24 detonators, and
small bag of fertiliser and IED timers.
The rest are: cortex wires and three remote
control devices, five Motorola hand held
radios, four communicators, six alarm
clocks, two cartons of 9-volt batteries, a
scale, one external hard drive and one heavy
duty charger/battery.
“These weapons, ammunitions and other
dangerous materials were meant to wreak
havoc on Kano during the Eid-el-Kabir and
other festivities before the end of the year.’’
He urged members of the public to continue
to cooperate with the JTF operatives in its
effort to curb the activities of terrorists in
the state.

PoliticsNigeria Launches Stroke Prevention Programme. by MrAladin(op):
*The* government said it was subsidising
some health checks for Nigerians.
As part of plans to check the alarming rate
of sudden death and related health
challenges in the country, President
Goodluck Jonathan has launched a Nigerian
National Stroke Prevention Programme.
The launch took place immediately after the
weekly meeting of the Executive Council of
the Federation, FEC, on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to Mr. Jonathan, the programme
was inevitable as a result of the disturbing
rate of sudden deaths and stroke in the
country.
The launch was highlighted by a special
health check on the President and Vice
President Namadi Sambo inside a mobile
ambulance at the fore-court of the
Presidential Villa.
Briefing journalists after the exercise, the
Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, said
the programme was approved by the
president as an antidote to sudden death.
Mr. Chukwu said that the government was
worried about the recent alarming rate of
sudden deaths of Nigerians, whom he noted
are mostly in their prime. The programme is
expected to encourage people to check their
health status regularly.
The minister further disclosed that the cost
of the test, which is about N50, 000, has
been reduced by the government through a
subsidized arrangement to now cost N10,
000; particularly for indigent Nigerians.
“The health awareness programme is to
help Nigerians to check up on their health
on regular basis to take fitness seriously and
take close attention to their life styles.
“Apart from in-born pre-conditions, the
main causes of stroke and heart-attack are
things that can be prevented like
hypertension, diabetes, lack of exercise,
excessive consumption of alcohol and
smoking and so on.
“The President felt something needed to be
done on a national scale. So the President
and the Vice President demonstrated
leadership by example by allowing
themselves to go through the same process.
“They were seen by consultants who carried
out some tests on them such as body mass
index, measurement of height and weight,
blood pressure.
“The President approved of the
programmed to be managed by the Federal
Ministry of Health in collaboration with
Federal Teaching Hospitals and other
hospital in Nigeria; as well as the Nigeria in
Diaspora to execute the programme,’’ he
said.

superior1: Can someone help me with biblical verses where Christians are asked to pray with Rosary huh huh huh huh
The Truth is that if you say your Rosary
daily , and meditate on its mysteries, it
will bring down many graces from
heaven to you. It will strengthen you to
overcome temptation, and to grow
holy. It will lead you straight to heaven,
and away from the devil. Saying the
rosary is pondering the life of Christ
with Mary, as she did in Luke 2:19. Is
15 or 20 minutes a day worth that to
you? How many people do you know
that say the rosary daily are lustful,
angry, slothful, etc.? Habitual sin will no
longer be a part of your life.
How to say the Rosary
FAQ's about the Rosary
Quotes on the Rosary from the Saints
Rosary Promises, Blessings, and
Benefits
Fatima
How to Say the Rosary in Latin
The 54 Day Rosary Novena
The Rosary is more than just
repeating the words of Gabriel ("Hail
Full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee"wink
and Elizabeth ("Blessed art thou
among women, and blessed is the
fruit of thy womb Jesus"wink from
scripture. It is also about meditating
on the 20 "mysteries". Mysteries? What
are these mysteries? They are broken
down into four sets of mysteries, all
taken from the bible:
1. The Joyful Mysteries
2. The Luminous Mysteries
3. The Sorrowful Mysteries
4. The Glorious Mysteries.
The Joyful Mysteries are as follows:
1. The Annunciation of the Birth of
Jesus to Mary
2. The Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth
3. The Birth of Jesus
4. The Presentation of Jesus in the
Temple
5. The Finding of Jesus in the Temple
The Luminous Mysteries are as follows:
1. The Baptism of Jesus
2. The Wedding Feast at Cana
3. The Proclamation of the Kingdom
4. The Transfiguration of Jesus
5. The Institution of the Eucharist
The Sorrowful Mysteries are as follows:
1. The Agony of Jesus in the Garden
of Gesthemane
2. The Scourging of Jesus at the Pillar
3. The Crowning of Thorns
4. The Carrying of the Cross
5. The Crucifixion of Jesus
The Glorious Mysteries are as follows:
1. The Resurrection of Jesus
2. The Ascension of Jesus into Heaven
3. The Descent of the Holy Spirit at
Pentecost
4. The Assumption of Mary
5. The Coronation of Mary
While the first 18 mysteries can be
directly taken from the Bible, the last 2
mysteries, the Assumption of Mary and
the Coronation of Mary, can be deduced
from scripture. Taking a close look at
Revelation Chapter 12, scripture talks
about a woman, not a disembodied
spirit, in heaven with a crown on her
head. Paul says that a crown AWAITS us
all in heaven (2 Timothy 4:cool, so this
woman already has hers. Since this
woman is the woman who gave birth
to the Savior, the woman has to be
Mary.
And Psalm 45:6ff clearly talks about the
coronation of the Queen:
Your divine throne endures for ever
and ever. Your royal scepter is a
scepter of equity; you love
righteousness and hate wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has
anointed you with the oil of gladness
above your fellows; your robes are
all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and
cassia. From ivory palaces stringed
instruments make you glad;
daughters of kings are among your
ladies of honor; at your right hand
stands the queen in gold of Ophir.
Hear, O daughter, consider, and
incline your ear; forget your people
and your father's house; and the
king will desire your beauty. Since he
is your lord, bow to him; the people
of Tyre will sue your favor with gifts,
the richest of the people with all
kinds of wealth. The princess is
decked in her chamber with gold-
woven robes ; in many-colored robes
she is led to the king, with her virgin
companions, her escort, in her train.
With joy and gladness they are led
along as they enter the palace of the
king. Instead of your fathers shall be
your sons; you will make them
princes in all the earth. I will cause
your name to be celebrated in all
generations; therefore the peoples
will praise you for ever and ever.
(**NOTE - This last verse from Psalm
45 is a clear reference to Luke 1:48
concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary:
for he has regarded the low estate
of his handmaiden. For behold,
henceforth all generations will call
me blessed!)
The Bible says in James 5:20 that "
whoever brings back a sinner from the
error of his way will save his soul from
death and will cover a multitude of
sins." So by praying the rosary for
sinners, we not only save them, but
ourselves as well.
To multiply the blessings of the rosary,
it is very beneficial to join the Rosary
Confraternity. By joining, you get the
blessings from all of the rosaries said
by all of the members, rather than just
yours.
To learn about the history and origins
of the rosary, click here .
How to Say the Rosary
Each meditation on each mystery
consists of saying one Our Father, 10
Hail Mary's (while meditating on the
mystery), the Glory Be to the Father
Prayer, and the Fatima Prayer ("Oh my
Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from
the fires of hell, and lead all souls to
heaven, especially those in most need
of thy mercy). At the end of the rosary,
the Hail Holy Queen prayer is usually
said.The meditation on these events is
the key to the Rosary. Mindlessly
repeating the Hail Mary prayer without
the meditation on these mysteries
would be vain repitition, but when the
vocal prayer (the body of the rosary), is
combined with the mental meditation
of the 20 mysteries (the soul of the
rosary), then it is actually praying the
gospel of Jesus Christ ! The physical
rosary beads are nothing more than
prayer counters to help us remember
when it is time to switch over to the
next mystery. If one is truly meditating,
then trying to remember the number of
Hail Mary's would be tough. By
fingering the beads, it merely assists us
with the count. While it is tough to try
to meditate on the mysteries at the
same time one is saying the Hail Mary,
the key to properly saying the rosary is
to concentrate less on the Hail Mary,
and more on the mysteries. Putting
one's self back in time mentally and
trying to visualize actually being at the
scene of the mystery is a good
technique to use. And be sure to get
your rosary blessed by a priest. The
blessing on the rosary increases the
spirituality of your prayers, forever.

Christianity EtcRe: On The Holy Communion ( Between Paul And Jesus Christ) by MrAladin:
Sal C: On the other hand, apostle paul wrote in 1cor 11 v27-30...
Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup.
29 For him that eateth and drinketh unworthyily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
Now if Holy Communion was for the remission sin, why must one examine himself before receiving it, or incur sickness for receiving it unworthily.
and this is after the death of christ..

Now st. Paul is telling us that Anyone who receive christ unworthily is receiving judgement to himself.




The difference Between this Two Book is before and after the death of christ...

Sal C: In Matt 26 V 26-28 the scripture says....
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and break it, and gave it to the disciple, and said, Take, eat, this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
The words of Christ seem to say " this my body and blood which I give you today is meant to take a way ur sins
bro This is Before The Death of Christ...
Christ said this on his last supper B4 he was crucified on the cross of calvary.
He said that whosoever that eat his body n drink his blood shall have everlasting life....

Nairaland GeneralA Tribute To My Beloved Mother ; Late Mrs Justina Godwin by MrAladin(op): 8:38am On Oct 07, 2013
THE SOLID ROCK OF MY FAMILY.

I just thought that I would sHare some loving memories of growing up with my mom, JUSTINA GODWIN. All I can say is that she was the best mother anyone could ever have. My mother was one of those women who was raised in the south by my strong, hard working grandparents. Mom not only raised me, but she raised my 3 older sisters as well. Mom used to cook large meals for us as well as for my aunts, uncles and other relatives and friends and they loved it! On Fridays, she would cook up some of her catfish with spaghetti and salad, our house would be packed. Our guests was always taking a plate to go. My mom loved to listen to music while she did her cooking and cleaning around the house. Of course, us four girls was always around to help out. Whenever she made her desserts, we would all take turns licking the bowls.


As mom grew older, she
started to attend church
services quite frequently. She
enjoyed this very much. Mom
very much still loved to cook
those big Sunday dinners.

Mom was the Rev Father aide as
well as the usher at her
church. She took great pride
in her church duties until her
health started to decline.
Unfortunately, mom passed
away in April of 2012. Her
death left a big void in our
hearts and it still does to this
very day. But as time go on,
we have learned to
appreciate the valuable life
lessons instilled in us by our
mother. It's funny how some
of the things that she used to
say still ring in my ear today.
So many times, I wished that
I had listened to her
instructions, but as young
folks, we always want to go
out & experience life for
ourselves. One thing I can say
about Mom, she did not put
up with a lot of foolishness
when it came to raising her
children. Her firm voice and
stern ways kept us in line,
and I thank her for that.

The love that I feel for my
mom, I'm passing that same
love down to my children in
hopes that they would know
what it feels like knowing
that their mother loved and
cared for them.

Mom, I dedicate this writing
in your memory. Just know
that you have touched so
many lives during your stay
with us on this earth and for
that we are forever grateful.
On today, October 07, 2013,
the Momery Of You Glows To Me. It has not
been easy. But I choose to
remember her with warm
thoughts, laughter, and of
course, tears. My life has not
been the same. There is not a
day that goes by that I see or
hear something that reminds
me of her. What I wouldn't
give to see her smile and
hear her laughter. I
remember all the
conversations that we used
to have. RIP mom!!!! I love
you, always.


Update:
Today is my mom's 56th
birthday. I will honor her
memory with laughter and
tears as I reminisce of all the
wonderful times that we
have shared as mother and
daughter. I surely do miss her
cooking. I do miss the times
when we attended church
together with my children
and stepfather. It's still hard
to believe that she has been
gone for 1 year And 6 Months. But I know
that she is resting in peace
and I can go on in my life.
Mom, you will always be in
my heart and spirit. I carry
you within me everywhere I
go. I love you so very much
and I surely do miss you. I
look forward to the day to
when I can see your face
again!!!!!!! Just know that you
have touched so many lives
during your stay here on
earth. I know that you are in
God's care.
RIP Mama!!!!!
I Love You.
