PoliticsRe: Vigils: Evangelist Mike Bamiloye’s Son Slams Peter Obi Over His Comments by Myer(m): 6:03pm On Nov 03, 2024
Throwback:
Obi's last stronghold has collapsed.

When next he takes his politics to church and night vigils, he would be flogged like Jesus Christ flogged those who turned the temple to a trading place.

The religious warfare politician suddenly realises that Politics and Church should not be mixed together?

The hypocrisy is very ironic.
What is politics?

As long as God instituted church leadership, then exemplary politics should be practised in the church.
The church (true Criristians) scripturally should be in governing the world, including Nigeria.

Please do not believe the lies from the pit of hell that church and politics should not mix. However, it is suitable for spiritually mature believers not babes who will easily be lured by the ways of the world or threatened by the lesser gods.

1 Cortinthians 6:2-3
Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?

A leader is scripturally referred to as a judge.

Mrwhite09:
I am addicted to porn, masturbation and football betting. its over for me. with these 2 destructive habits its crystal clear that I am not gonna achieve anything in this life.

I work like a slave and put everything to the bookies account and use porn and masturbation to calm myself down after losing my hard earned money. the juju that my village people casted on me must be very strong. I know all the negative consequencies of my actions but i kept engaging in it.

I work a hard labour job, working from 8am to 7pm but I still have nothing. To eat its a war for me talkless of buying other things, a phone I cannot afford, good clothes I cant afford even a decent shoe to wear I cant buy, but I kept staking everyday, chasing imaginary money, while enriching the cruel bookies with my hard earned money.

I watched my mates excell in life while I smell of cum grin truly I am a useless person. there is no hope for a 30 year old me.
Seek deliverance from the spirit of lust.
Repent and give your life to Christ. With time you will experience deliverance and restoration.
Christianity EtcRe: Causes Of Marital Delay On Some Christian Singles by Myer(m): 9:01pm On Oct 27, 2024
cutecommend:
Marrying right is beautiful and marrying at the right time is awesome. But some Christians experience marital delays and this can be dealt with. For some Christian singles, these are the causes of marital delay:

(1) Witchcraft and Satanic Powers: Some Christian singles are hindered because of evil powers such as spiritual husband, foundational powers, witchcraft etc. While they may be born again, if they do not destroy such evil powers, it may affect them.

(2) Religious Patterns: Some Christian singles may hardly or never bend if the marriage process or wedding does not come from their church, dogmatic belief system etc. So they may wait until a person appears that suits that pattern. This may cause marital delay.

(3) Ungodly Taste: If a Christian has hidden idols in the heart that has not been dealt with, such as: quest for certain physical looks, particular tribe, love for rich persons, undue standards etc. This may cause marital delay, as finding such a person may take time. Allow God take the lead.

(4) Quest for Big Weddings: I advice you do easy wedding processes and small weddings. This is good, especially if you are advanced in age. Undue desire for big weddings may cause marital delay as you may have to wait until such standard is met.
Thanks for sharing- some reasons are spiritual while some are self-made.
-Soul ties, spiritual husnand/wife, family patterns., character flaws. Idols of the heart (standards contrary to God's will), unsubmissiveness/pride.
Nairaland GeneralRe: Two Things That Make Me Sad About Life by Myer(m): 8:54pm On Oct 27, 2024
Solofresh2:
The two things that makes me sad about life whenever I think about it is losing a loved one and a loved one losing me to death😥

Even if we pray to live very long can we really move on from living to see some of our loved ones die.

When I think about death, it makes me feel sad and heartbroken.
It is appointed to man to die once, after this is judgment. Hebrews 9:27

Death is not the sad part but dying without being saved. That is the true definition of sadness because the soul's torment begins then until they are judged into hell fire.

But whoever dies I'm a good standing with God is not a sad death but a glorious exit into eternal rest/peace

What matters the most now is for you to become saved and right woth God. And to be intentional to also pray and preach to your loved ones to also receive the gift of salvation and become right with God too. Then the thought of death will no longer be sad excite you because heaven is our true home.

To live is Christ, to die is gan. Selah. Philippians 1:21

PoliticsRe: Osinbajo Is A Backstabbing Traitor, Has No Integrity - Reno Omokri by Myer(m): 10:45pm On Oct 20, 2024
Naturesgifts:
He's now attacking Osinbajo
Usually I support Reno's views but his hatred for Buhari has clouded his judgment here.
He should know two core things about PYO that dictated his decisions/actions;

1. He's a true Christian- he doesn't make decions without consulting God. He couldn't redign unless he was led to do so, no matter how much it made him look bad/corrupt. Even though he wasn't.

2. He was a Vice President- his operations/responsibilities couod only be within his jurisdiction as Vice, not president.

Osinbajo is the epitome of Integrity operating on divine wisdom. He's a fore-runner of the possibility that a true Christian can participate in Nigerian politics without losing his Christianity. Every true Christian is trained to expect persecution.
Christianity EtcRe: Should You Listen To Worldly Songs As A Christian? by Myer(m): 3:48pm On Oct 20, 2024
cutecommend:
If you go to some Christian weddings, you may hear worldly songs during the reception. Some churches too may sing or change some worldly songs into Christian songs.. If someone corrects them, they may say "Christianity is in the heart, and on that day we go see who enter heaven" ..

The truth is that a Christian loving worldly songs is fake. You may speak in tongues, cry during worship etc. But if you love worldly music, you are fake or weak Christian..

I John 2:15 says "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him"
No. But we grow in grace. And our growth rate is different. A babe may still find themselves falling. A mature believer however who is a Christian (Christ-like) would be able to deny/resist such worldliness.
Unfortunately so many believers choose to remain as babes. But the times we are in is no longer for babes.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Jesus, Apostles Did Not Collect Tithes - Adeboye by Myer(m): 9:21am On Oct 07, 2024
meum:
Na wa.

Na you talk say Jesus had women who supported his ministry. Na same you have word of caution for those who have women supporting their ministry.

God abeg the anointed wey you talk say make we no touch don dey over do.
The bolded off me sir. cheesy

All I will however say is that Jesus Christ is delivering his church from the gates of hell, including religious bondages. Some will be delivered, some with choose to hold on to their stronghold.
I rejoice with those that will come to knowledge of the truth of the scriptures and be set free.

Tithing is not a sin. If you will keep the laws of tithing, then you must as well keep the whole over 600 laws. But if you will follow Jesus Christ in the covenant of the Spirit, then you will be set free from the law. God simply wants us to be givers because we have come to love him and his kingdom.
We do every thing now according to the leading of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God and the apostles' doctrine.

That Jesus Christ and the disciples were not parish pastors is laughable. Jesus Christ pastored thousands that followed him about for years of his ministry, out of whom he had some faithful disciples. He is the Great Shepherd/Pastor that laid his life down for his sheep.
The disciples who later became the apostles also pastored thousands that were like wise added to the church after the Pentecost.

God has knowledge of the needs of his church and it is He who will provide for his church. It is not by going back to the laws to enforce tithing on the church or by the various schemes of men. The people willingly give what they have whether in abundance or in little not because of fear of curses attached to not tithing, but because of their faith and love of Christ and their personal testimonies of the power of Jesus Christ operating in their lives.

Once again, I rejoice for those who are liberated, are being liberated and will be liberated. We are called into liberty in Christ. To willingly choose to be his own servants/slaves that are submissive to His own leading and word and not doctrines of men. His yoke is easy, and his burden is light. God help us all in Jesus name. Amen.
Christianity EtcRe: The Weapon Of Flattery In The Hands Of The Seductress by Myer(m): 5:29pm On Sep 29, 2024
Interesting15:
by Sunday Akanni Moshood

So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face, And I have found you. (Proverbs 7:15)

The seductress is an expert in rousing self-importance in people by the way of flattering. The seductress wants you to feel very special, very important, very attractive, and very much needed, but it's all a lie. That particular seductress would have repeated the same lines to another prospective victim if he wasn't the one she met. And while the guy was feeling special and flattered, he never knew he was dealing with a deceitful spirit whose aim is to make you lose your guard after stirring you up emotionally to regard yourself beyond what you truly are.

Scripture considers flattery as disingenuous praise or insincere compliments crafted to manipulate or deceive others. It usually comes from self-interest or deceitful intentions, distorting the truth and leading folks astray.

Flattery has the ability to distract individuals from truth and righteousness, and the allure of false praise can lead a person to make unwise decisions and act contrary to their better judgment

"So I came out to meet you, Diligently to seek your face". Another translation: "You’re the very one I’ve looked for, the one I knew I wanted from the moment I saw you. That’s why I’ve come out here tonight, so I could meet a man just like you."

It's all a lie. The seductress only came out to seek any victim that would wander into her traps. With sweet and swelling words, a seductress can make you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world, the most handsome guy ever, the most intelligent person in the universe, the smartest person created by God, etc, all to mischievously induce some intoxicating chemicals of self-importance in you that can draw you towards the path of self-exaltation. At that point, you see yourself as a god, characterized by a mindset of "I can do whatever I want, it's after all my life." This can shut your mind from any reasonable thoughts about the consequence of the action you are about to take (or shut down the voice of the Holy Spirit if you're a Christian).

You see, the devil enjoys using words to make people feel too important and exalted. In that state, he can influence them to do something against existing right protocols. He tried the same thing with Jesus while tempting Him in the wilderness (Matthew 4). By saying "If you are the Son of God", he was trying to mischievously rouse the LORD into a corner of "You know you can do whatever you want to do". Should Jesus have allowed the flattery to enter His head, it would have been easy to make Him do what is wrong.

"Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." (Daniel 11:32).

Flattery is a very powerful tool in the hands of bad folks, and even at the end of the age, the kingdom of darkness will still rely vehemently on it to get many people corrupt. But the above verse made us realize the fact that the way to be fortified is to excavate strength from a deep knowing of God (an intimate relationship with Him).

You must get to that point where your self-worth and importance are defined by God's word alone and what He is saying about you. Treat nice compliments with uttermost wisdom, particularly when coming from people you are not 100 percent sure have your best interests at heart. For your own good, learn always to turn your back on exaggerated compliments. Never allow any compliments of any kind to make you start seeing yourself beyond what and who you are.

By God, ensure you have a healthy self-esteem that is not determined or influenced by external factors. In other words, whether or not people are saying lovely things about you, it doesn't change much about you - you always regard yourself as who God sees you as, and that's what truly matters.

"A man who flatters his neighbor Spreads a net for his feet." (Proverbs 29:5).
Thanks for sharing sir.
As a believer one of the vices I am recently receiving a dealing on is the spirit of flattery. As a Nigerian, especially Yoruba, naturally I am given to flattery- either giving it or receiving it.
I also recently realised that I still exhibit some of my flattery ways when dealing with some women/aadies.

I am thankful for the new dealing and also this confirmation you've shared. Once he has spoken, Twice I have heard... and I trust in His Power to help me completely overcome this vice and nature.

Grace and Truth multiplied in our lives in Jesus name. Amen.

The power of influence of TVs/Movies and Social media. Evil communication truly corrupts good manners. How did we get here?

When you expose yourself to movies and online pages that promote sexual decadence, what do you expect? Please as much as you can, protect your heart/mind and be sensitive what you feed into it. Feed it with the right things- godly movies and productive things.

As seemingly harmless as these erotic devices are, theyre actually creating sex addicts who may not need their spouses for sexual intimacy anymore. While we understand that many are victims of sexuul challenges in their marriages either due to neglect by their spouses or other deficiencies, the solution is not seeking pleasure from things but seeking solution through marriage counsellors especially through the church. Jesus Christ is alwsys the solution. He knows where the problem is and will uproot it. He knows how to give a healthy sexual appetite. He knows how to fix marriages. He knows how to fix us.

I pray those who are meant to "hear" this will hear and be delivered from this decadence in Jesus name. Amen.

PoliticsRe: Winners And Losers Of Edo 2024 Governorship Elections by Myer(m): 10:44pm On Sep 22, 2024
emkz:
Winners and Losers of Edo 2024 Governorship Elections

WINNERS

(1) Monday Okebholo: relatively unknown, somewhat demure and allegedly uncharismatic, he beat all odds and attacks over his alleged inability to speak English to take his message to the grassroots without a single media interview apart from a 9 minute interview he granted to Helen Oyibo of BBC.

(2) Osagie Ize-Iyamu: he was one of the earliest supporters of Monday Okpebholo and had stepped down from the race.

(3) Legacy PDP: they had felt sidelined by Obaseki and rightfully might have worked against their own party.

(4) Nyesom Wike: Governor Obaseki had publicly maliciously announced that Nyesom Wike would contest the PDP 2023 presidential ticket, and added a threat, "we shall see". Obaseki had also taken out an advert to lambast Nyesom Wike after Wike had called on the PDP to discipline Philip Shaibu when Shaibu had threatened to leave the party because Shaibu felt the new PDP members were not integrated into the party. Wike had sarcastically asked Shaibu: "who is his father?"

In the advert Obaseki took to blast Wike, he said Edo State did not accept political bullies and overlords. When crises began in Edo PDP towards the 2024 Edo elections, Obaseki had clandestinely accused Wike and Dan Orbih of legacy PDP of supporting Shaibu to destablize Edo PDP. When Obaseki made overtures for reconciliation with Wike, Wike had told Obaseki he could not support Obaseki's candidate as Obaseki was not known to be loyal to those who had supported him in the past.

(5) Adams Oshiomole: against advise, Adams Oshiomole foisted Obaseki on his team as his potential successor. Obaseki was Oshiomole's bestman during his wedding to the Cape verdian model. WIthin two years, Obaseki started fighting Oshiomole, who is also a fighter. The genesis of their fight was Obaseki feeling powerless as chief executive of Edo state and Oshiomole controlling the strings, especially federal appoinbtments. Adams Oshiomole used his position as party chairman to deny Obaseki the APC ticket. Obaseki decamped to PDP along with Philip Shaibu. The PDP insisted Obaseki dropped Shaibu and allow them nominate a deputy to which Obaseki responded that if he didn't run with his deputy, they could keep their ticket. He was allosed to run with Shaibu and with the support of Nyesom Wike, other Niger Delta Governos and the governor’s forum, he won the election. The APC Governors felt Adams Oshiomole was being too powerful as he almost humiliated their colleague, and this was one of the reasons they engineered his removal as APC national chairman. After the defeat, Adams Oshiomole licked his wounds and resurfaced against Obaseki in 2024 by taking a prominent role in Monday Okpebholo's campaign, despite not supporting Okpebholo before the primaries.

Oshomole'd surely be smiling now that he has his pound of flesh against Obaseki.

(6) Philip Shaibu: He was hurriedly impeached by the Edo State House of Assembly and his replacement was announced and sworn in without due process. During his crises with Governor Obaseki intigated by Philip Shaibu's decision to contest as Obaseki’s successor, Obaseki chased him out of his office within government house premises and bulldozed the fence of his residence. Obaseki also publicly rebuffed Shaibu's advances in public twice. Shaibu went to court to challenge his impeachment and the court established that due process was not followed. With Shaibu’s reinstatement, he decamped to the APC and worked against the PDP candidate, perceived to be Obaseki’s pointman. Shaibu was seen in a video celebrating along with APC party stalwarts and attended theur campaign.

(7) 16 members of Edo State House of Assembly: they were denied taking their seats by Governor Obaseki over their alleged loyalty to Obaseki's political foe, Adams Oshiomole. They'd be smiling that Obaseki’s candidate was defeated.

(8 ) APC National Chairman/APC: On 29th August, 2024, Umar Ganduje, the APC National Chairman had said that the APC would capture Edo state along with southeast states. Feelers from some quarters had said his position as party chair was being challenged. The Edo victory gives him bragging rights.

(9) President Bola Ahmed Tinubu: Some had argued that the Edo election results would be a litmus test of President Tinubu’s painful reforms acceptability. Now that the verdict is out, President Tinubu would heave a sigh of relief.

Honourable Mention:

(1) Dr Anugbum Omuoha, Edo State Resident Electoral Commission, Nyesom Wike's cousin, who was called on to INEC by PDP to be removed. INEC refused.

(2) DIG Frank Mba: the police security coordination was superb as vote buyers were arrested. DIG Mba also got Obaseki removed from the INEC state headquarters.

LOSERS

(1) Prince Emmanuel Odigie: famous for the phrase "daughter of zion Ayo" he directed at one of the anchors of the Arise News Morning Show, he had accused Monday Okpebholo of being unable to copy WASSCE answers in a special miracle center. He also accused Okpebholo of lacking the mental capacity to function at the global stage. He mooted the idea that the election would be rigged in favour of APC while President Tinubu would be out of the country. He remained in APC, rejected his appointment in the APC gubernatorial campaign council and made several media appearances against the APC candidate.

(2) Rufai Oseni, Reuben Abati and Ayo Maero Ese of Arise News: The duo of Rufai Oseni and Ayo Maero Ese had gone on twitter to insist Monday Okpebholo must present himself for an interview in their studio. This was the same card played by Rufai Oseni and Nduka Obaigbena against Tinubu to attend their debate and interview, which did not force the APC candidate's hand. Reuben Abati had said on their flagship Morning Show that they'd be willing to conduct the interview in pidgin or through an interpreter if Monday Okpebholo could not express himself in English language. Their permutations of controlling the tide in Edo elections have been punctured with APC's win.

(3) Governor Godwin Obaseki: Asue Ighodalo had the election on a platter, but for Governor Godwin Obaseki. All the enemies Obaseki managed to acquire for himself managed to coalesce and fight Obaseki. They were not against Asue Ighodalo per se, but wanted to take their pound of flesh from Obaseki.

(4) Asue Ighodalo: Asue Ighodalo left the comfort of his successful corporate board memberships to serve his people. He was well liked and well positioned for the win. He was confident and ran a well oiled campaign. All was going well until Obaseki got too involved and made controversial statements that damaged Asue's campaign. The threat of do or die and refusal to sign the peace accord did not behove well on Asue and Obaseki.

(5) Olumide Akpata: He was banking on the Peter Obi 2023 revolution which was not replicated in local elections.

Who we wanted to win at all costs:

The people of Edo State, and INEC. INEC needs to wake up. While polling unit results are being uploaded, also create a module in your collation software for results to be digitally entered, checked with the results sheets and create space to be ticked by the party agents and let the figures go to a central collation point. The media should be able to call election results based on these figures. This usual practice of talking results from wards to LGAS to the state collation centers is a Jega innovation. Ten years on, INEC is still doing things the old way.
Thanks for the breakdown.

Hello Nairaland,

It all started at age 14, I happen to be the only male child and seeing myself among my sisters I started developing a kind of strange affection for them which is really strange and evil.
My sisters are really beautiful indeed to be honest.

It went on and on until one day I couldn’t hold it anymore and I had to take my elder sister panties and wrapped it round my penis, and this is where it all started, unfortunately I had this idea from no where that I can use that as a means of satisfying myself without any girl.

Sometimes I feel a strong energy around me, mostly when am alone and that’s the exact time I’ll start thinking about woman, and this caused me to love porn.

Please everyone here, am pleading you all to help me with a solution, I need help to overcome this, I’ve confessed this to several pastors but couldn’t get any solution……

Please nairalanders, help me.
Thanks for sharing.
I am particularly glad you believe life is spiritual.
You're contending with a strong man- the spirit of lust. It's a very stubborn spirit. And it never goes away. The only sure way to overcome this spirit is to have it cast out by inviting the right spirit nto your heart- the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit binds him and plunderis his house- you.

Mark.3.27 - No one can enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man. And then he will plunder his house.

Pastors might be able to cast it out but the bulk of the work rests on you filling your heart with the Spirit and Word of God. Cos like I said, it is stubborn and will keep coming back, even with stronger spirits.

Matt.12.43 - "When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.
Matt.12.44 - Then he says, "I will return to my house from which I came.' And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
Matt.12.45 - Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation."

I suspect you've had it cast out before but you were dry and not filling your heart with the water of the Spirt and Word of God. Please intentionally seek to know God through Jesus Christ personally and enter into a life time commitment/covenant of being a child and minister of God, as the Holyspirit will lead you.

Grace and Mercy multiplied to you. I pray to hear the testimonies of Jesus Christ in your life soon.

P:S: Please endeavor to share your challenges with your woman (I hope she's your wife), she is your accountability partner. You should both be growing spiritually and every way together as one.
Whatever you're afraid to share has power over you.
