"I'd like your opinion on this: Is it okay to block your exes on every online platform, or is it better to let them watch how we succeed and overcome the pains that come with heartbreak?"

It depends on their level of maturity and how the relationship ended.

If it didn't end well and you still care about them, if you're succeeding it's probably better to block them for their sanity. Cos there are 3 possible outcimes;

1. They might be motivated out of anger or love to themselves succeed.
2. They might not be able to handle your success and just like Acrimony make crazy decision or get depressed.
3. They might be unbothered.

Ọmọ the Jewish nation has been cursed they have lost it forever!

Na wa oh. You just dey condemn people when Jesus said he did not come to condemn.

Tyktoker:
God have no religion/organization!

When you look up the meaning of religion, you may have a change of mind.
The problem is we don't check the definition of words.

What you probably meant to infer is that God did not specify a particular religious gathering that we have named Christanity, Islam, etc as the only way.

On this note, yes you are right.

However God has a way of Godliness that He established through Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one can come to God except through Him.

You can be a practicing Jew and know or not know Jesus.
You can be a practising Christian and know or not know Jesus.
And you can be a practising Muslim and know or not know Jesus.

Because these three religions were established by God through Abraham. Which is why Jesus says Salvation belongs to the Jews.
Unfortunately the Jews in the fullness of Time when Jesus the Messiah they had been waitingbfor finally arrived, they murdered him. (Though all this had to happen according to prophecy). And they had to bear the curse attached to it- imagine murdering GOD?

That said, if you're a believer, the bible mentions the religion that God approves.

Jas.1.26 - If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.

Jas.1.27 - Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Can demons do good, Myer?
You didn't respond to the other questions.

It's an interesting question.
Can a witch be nice to some people?

McStoic:
Hmmmm.,. To what end now 😆

Rebranding. To help change the image of the black men positively.
They also gathered to feed the poor.

A lot of damage has been done to the blacks in the US. Years of oppression and white-washing has messed up the mindset/orientation/self-image of majority of the blacks.

Most blacks hate any thing that reminds them of the whites whether positive or negative.

A lot of blacks hate Jesus Christ simply because they think he's white. They see him as racist. Which is why Islam actually gained more popularity under Malcom X and Farrakhan.

A lot of blacks also identify with wrong role models like pimps, gangster rappers, strippers, fraudstarts, etc instead of actual professionals simply because of the racism they've experienced or heard others experience from whites.

A lot of Black Americans have not healed from the pain of racist oppression and white-washing and it will take a lot to help repair the damage that has been meted on them. Unfortunately they've developed the victim mentality.

It's so bad that the Black Americans have also developed racism towards Africans over there in US simply due to transferred aggression. The average Black American is so lost that he sees his enemies as his friends and his friends as his enemies.

This is what the presenter is addressing,, that it is fellow Blacks and LGBTQ that failed to see any good thing about Black men in suit when the others including the whites are commending the rebranding.

Unprecedented.
Soon, it's going to be very difficult to remain an obidient when people start feeling the impact of PBAT's good leadership.

God bless Nigeria.

Yugoslavia247:
This only happens because the man has enough. She go still bill am for money for hair next day.


We don't see this type of love among poor men.

And when we see na still the women wing go castigate the woman.

Being rich comes with privilege
For instance certificate forger who is rich is different from poor one

No shades

Gift is always a good language that speaks love and care to both men and women.

Even if he's rich, you never can tell how much this gift means to him especially in this critical times.

Even If she go bill am when things soft again, he knows she's concerned and cares for him.

His parents said these things because they were in fear of the Jews, for the Jews had already come to an agreement that if anyone acknowledged him as Christ, that person should be expelled from the synagogue. John 9:22

At that all the people (Jews) said in answer: “Let his blood come upon us and upon our children.” Matthew 27:25

But the Jews who did not believe stirred up and wrongly influenced the people of the nations against the brothers. Act 14:2

When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began blasphemously contradicting the things Paul was saying. Act 13:45

Till today the Jews hate Jesus and anyone having to do with him.
If you don't understand something ask those that knows better than you, ọmọ it's not a crime! Matthew 7:7-8

Jesus Christ while physically on earth was sent specifically to the lost sheep of Israel, not the whole world.
As they saw the signs and wonders, the Jews wanted to make him their king by force but he avoided it because that was not His purpose on earth and He knew their motive was selfish.

John.6.14 - Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."
John.6.15 - Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.

However the Pharisees who were profiting off the people hated him because he was bad market for them.
They eventually swayed the same Jews who had loved Jesus to have him crucified.
Even though Jesus still prayed for the Jews that God should forgive them for they knew not what they were doing, yet there's a curse for killing God's prophets, how much more killing the only begotten Son of God??
On his journey to being crucified remember Jesus woed they Jews cos He knew the curse they were heaping on themselves, even though He knew Satan was behind it all.

But all this happened for prophecies to be fulfilled. The Jews had to reject Jesus Christ for the salvation to come to us Gentiles. It's called Replacement Theology.

At the appointed time, the Jews will finally realise Jesus Christ was the Messiah they had been waiting for and will repent. For now they are still waiting for the Messiah even after over 2000 years.
Only those who obtain Favor from God are being saved for now. Jewish Christians are very strong Chrisstians because it is their heritage so they understand it indeptly.

elated177:
Do you know why I asked you that question?
Here it is.



You said that witchcraft is a religion. It is a religion. Do people who join witchcraft groups do so to be good?

Religion:
1. Belief in a spiritual or metaphysical reality (often including at least one deity), accompanied by practices or rituals pertaining to the belief.
2. A particular system of such belief, and the rituals and practices proper to it.

By this definition, yes witchcraft, occult, etc are also religions just as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Paganism etc

And in Yoruba witchcraft there are those called white witches who actually do good. Though they are worshipping false gods.
And even among the wicked witches, some were lured into it because they needed to protect their family.
Then they ended up being under bondage.
They need a higher Power to deliver them. Some may not want to be delivered.

MaxInDHouse:
Ọmọ it's simple:

Jesus never tolerate false religious ideas that's what led to the killings of Jews who were his disciples because they are ready to die proving that Jesus' teachings is the ultimate and who are those killing them?
It's their own people (Jews) that's the simple truth!

It was religious leaders (Pharisees and Chief Priests) killing them. Religion is what feeds them.
The Jews loved Jesus Christ and his apostles and they willingly followed him every where. Even wanted to make him King.

Let the Spirit that inspired the book teach you all you need to know.
The letter kills, it is the spirit that gives life.

elated177:
You do know that witchcraft is religion, right?

Sure. It is still part of religious tolerance.
Witches and even principalities higher than witches like wise existed in the time of Jesus Christ.
How did he relate with them?
They willingly submitted to him to save them.
He did not even kill those who were demon-possessed, he simply cast out the demons in them peacefully.

Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our Faith, He is our role model. Don't follow people, religious ways and traditions, follow Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ did not come to establish a religion but The Way of Truth and Life. When you get this, you will know that a professing Christian who goes to church regularly may not be following the way of Christ, while a Muslim may be following the way of Christ.

The Way of Christ is Godliness, not religion and self-righteousness.

What's indecent dressing, how's it an indecent dressing, who made it an indecent dressing, how is an indecent dressing a crime? Online trolls!

Let us help them paraphrase it appropriately.
It is not indecent dressing, it is mad dressing.

This is what happens when a generation is lost. Normal becomes abnormal and abbormal becomes normal.

At least even some of her fans are receiving some sense finally.

MaxInDHouse:
Myer knows what he's doing because Jesus of Nazareth never tolerate false religious ideas that's why he said:

"Do not think I came to bring peace to the earth; I came to bring, not peace, but a sword. For I came to cause division, with a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law" Matthew 10:34-35

So despite the fact that he was gently going about his ministry he will tell you:

"You're not a worshiper of my God if you and i disagree on terms and conditions of worship"

That's what his disciples (Jehovah's Witnesses) are doing till today though we are the most peaceful organization on planet earth yet we are firm when talking about our faith! Matthew 10:16

Matt.10.34 - "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
Matt.10.35 - For I have come to "set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law';
Matt.10.36 - and "a man's enemies will be those of his own household.'
Matt.10.37 - He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

When we quote scriptures we must not interprete out of context. We must also juxtapose with the character/nature of the Character/person.

When Jesus Christ said "I did not come to bring peace but sword."
This is a statement that does not align with the person and character of Jesus Christ and his ministry on earth.
Since the bible never mentioned that he ever carried a sword.
In fact when Peter attempted to defend him by cutting off the ear of his assailants, what did Jesus tell him?

Matt.26.50 - But Jesus said to him, "Friend, why have you come?" Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.
Matt.26.51 - And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
Matt.26.52 - But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
Matt.26.53 - Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?

So clearly there seams to be a contradiction here.
Only the Holy Spirit can give the Understanding of this.
I know what He has revealed to me and those who ask Him.
I could try to explain to you but you will still resist it because it is spiritually discerned.

But know this, the Word of God cannot contradict himself.

Praying in behalf of people who don't want to listen to God's laws!
Proverbs 28:9
Jeremiah 11:4
John 17:8-9

Well let's just say you don't know!

How do these verses contradict Religious tolerance?
How is praying for Nigerians wrong?

You see where religious intolerance is toxic?

Religious Tolerance

How can I tolerate your religion when we have been taught we are enemies?
How can I tolerate you when all we see in each other is not our common grounds but our differences?
How can we tolerate each other when we were raised to hate each other?
How can we tolerate each other when we kill each other while we were created to heal each other.

I know what to do.
Our problem is not each other.
Our problem is the middle man.
Our problem is we keep listening to those teaching us about each other when we can easily learn to know each other.
The problem is prejudice.

The solution to religious intolerance is knowledge, respect, patience and love.

What do you know of me?
Have you asked me about it, to know if it is true?
What do I know of you?
Can I ask you if it's true?

Where there is no communication, there is assumptions and miscommunication.
Assumptions rarely produce anything good.
Let's communicate in respect and genuine curiosity.

Good morning Nigerians, we are all in it for the same thing. For Salvation, Good life and Heaven.
No body went into a religion to be evil.
We go into religion to be good, better and best version of ourselves.

God help us all.
God bless Nigeria,
God bless You and I.

TemplarLandry:
This American is another uninformed cracker.

Some Americans don't wish Africa and especially Nigeria to be free. They're are leaked videos where they hold lectures/conferences on making sure Africa does not break free as this will spell doom for their own dream of dominating and ruling her.

They know the short term and long term implications of the powerful policies PBAT is implementing.

anainterior2018:
I promise to make this simple and short. Please kindly bear with me. however i write this am mind is filled up.
I just got an apartment where am living for now with my wife and daughter which is going to be 2yrs of me staying by January 14 2024. but the issue i have right now is that i was suppose to renew my house rent January 14 2023 the sum of 550k year due to how difficult everything was so

i make half payment on December 2022 to the lawyer and make the lawyer understand the situation of thing at the moment and he accept with me sum of 275k that's 6 month payment so hoping before June/July i will be paid the remaining half. fast forward to August 16 i message the lawyer

again on whatsapp again concerns the second half payment which i did another 275k but to my surpise after paying the said amount i got quit notice letter just 1 weeks after making payment that i shoudn't renew my rent again and i should leave the house before january 14 or by january 14. so i went to the lawyer office and let him know how i feel about this that what my offend and when you know you're given me QUIT NOTICE why collecting money from me again and he doesnt respond to my question saying the landlady complain my wife doesnt use to greet her whereas we are living in the same compound but we tenant have our own gate while the landlord have their own personal gate and compound we doesn't share the same compound because there's demarcation between the tenant and landlord.

my problem and concerns at the moment is i dont have money yet on me to rent another apartment i will really need enough time. I want people here to enlighten me on this under the law, is it how it works in Lagos state and secondly i was told they are coming for inspection of my apartment by November if i made any damage in the apartment when am still living in the apartment likewise am new to this i pay for damage the sum of 60k i never damage anything in the apartment still this moment everything is in order. i really better knowledge on this about the quite notice and inspection of house around November because i dont trust the landlord for who they claim to be PASTOR

I'm still to read and reply back

thanks

She has the right to issue the quit notice.
But this is a simple issue, why don't you and your wife simply go and make peace with her?

Guessing she's a Yoruba woman, it's a matter od culture. These little things matter, just learn how to make peace with people without compromising on your good values, and you'll be fine.

You seem like an easy going couple, just a matter of basic cultural unlearning and relearning here.
God bless you.

Lukgaf:
The virtue of truthfulness is so esteemed that even those who do not share our faith value it greatly. Therefore, when a Muslim acts dishonestly or deceitfully, whether in business dealings with associates or within the confines of their home with domestic workers, it not only harms their personal integrity but also casts a shadow on the reputation of Islam. Non-believers, instead of attributing the behavior to the individual alone, may generalize and unjustly label all Muslims as untrustworthy.

Truth transcends religion.
If Satan is the Father of lies and liars, conversely God is the father of Truth and all who are truthful.

MaxInDHouse:
BORN AGAIN is another topic entirely!

No human is born of spirit right from the time of Adam till the day of Pentecost.

All humans have the breath of life which was actuated by God's active force (holy spirit) from the beginning and at death the ability to restore that force lies with God {Ecclesiastes 12:7} meanwhile both man and animals have the same actuating force that's keeping us alive it doesn't mean this force represents us at death.
To illustrate: Electricity makes all electrical appliances and electronics work but once it's disconnected the devices are dead the same is what happens to both man and beast.

BORN AGAIN means those selected among humans for immortality directly they will also die like all other creatures but during their own resurrection they won't return to flesh {1 Thessalonians 4:16-17} such ones won't pass through the final test from Satan! Revelations 20:5-6

Nicodemus was one of those hoping to rule with the Christ so Jesus is telling the Jewish man what he needs to become part of the ruling class that he so much cherish but as for all other faithful servants of God they don't need to be born of that same spirit before they can gain everlasting life all what they need is to obey the Christ as Lord and they will be approved to live in Paradise on Earth! Luke 23:43

You cannot put new wine into old wine skin.
If you are ready to know the Holy Spirit better, you will have to stop regurgitating what your organisation taught you about the Spirit they do not even believe.

Your organisation does not even believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit especially Speaking in tongues and prophecy.

If indeed you are okay with what your organisation has taught you, no problem.
But if you want to learn from God Himself, expose yourself to the teachings of Teacher. Ask the Holy spirit Himself to teach you.
He will be the one to lead you to the place you will learn of him afresh.

John.14.26 - But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Dino Melaye, face of hope? I laugh.

Honestly, I wonder how this country measures and sets its standards.

Never under-estimate the foolishness of a crowd.
That you do not follow the crowd is a special blessing on its own. I hope you know and appreciate what God has done for you.

Dino however cannot escape his come-uppance.
I noticed that just like Emefiele he has now suddenly remembered God and is campaigning on the basis of he's a child of God. Well, only God sees the heart.

If he wins the guber, then the people of Kogi deserve what is coming to them.

Janosky:
Genesis 6:3 God says "man is flesh."
Is it so in your Bible?

Do you realise that Jesus Christ came to die to restore the Glory of God to man?
Is God flesh?

God is Spirit and He created Adam (Man) in His image and likeness. What do you think that means?

He moulded a flesh ro inhabit the earth as him and breathed himself (spirit) inside the flesh. It is not the flesh that makes Adam the image and likeness of God but the Spirit.

God is not flesh.

cornelboy:
Paul was just making a comparison. Jesus isn't literally Adam.
Adam died and decayed. Jesus died too but was raised up.

You have to be open hearted about this. You can't sensualize what is spiritual. I pray you get this.

1Cor.15.45 - And so it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

cornelboy:
Ecclesiastes 12:7
[7]Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Job 27:3
[3]All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
Job 33:4
[4]The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Ecclesiastes 8:8
[8]There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death:

Basically, the spirit means the breath of God. Spirit can also mean our inner self. The combination of our consciousness, character, emotions, attitude, memory, conscience etc. it's also a synonym for soul.

It's the spirit or breath of God that makes us living and animates us. It's just like the way electricity powers electrical appliances and makes them work. We don't have a peculiar spirit, it's the same spirit for everyone and the source of the spirit is from God.

So when we stop breathing, the spirit leaves automatically and all our consciousness, memory, character and all die with us.

Look at Adam for example, is he living somewhere now, does he have a spirit that outlived him after he died?
The answer is capital NO!
Everything died with him the moment the breath (spirit) left him. Gen. 2:7
Remember God clearly warned him that he was going to die if he ate of the fruit of the tree. That confirms that nothing outlived him. He is all dead. It's same for everyone and even animals.

You're right.
That is why Jesus Christ is called the second Adam.
The Spirit was restored.

MaxInDHouse:
The spirit referred to hear is discernment not something separate from man!

John.3.5 - Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

John.3.6 - That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Here Jesus explicitly let us know that we are flesh and spirit once we are born again.

MaxInDHouse:
But it is the spirit in people, The breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding

So how does that makes man a spirit?

This was to address your reply that you don't atleast believe that there is a spirit in man.

There are other scriptures that reveal more to you as you open your mind and heart to it.

MaxInDHouse:
NO!

If you care to know read Job 32:8.

MaxInDHouse:
Guy that's your own teaching so go and share it with your fellow religionists humans are mortals and at death humans die completely no spirit remains!

Ok. Do you at least believe that man has a spirit?
