Odin13:You're very biblically sound. The actual answer I was looking for was Jesus Christ. But if we were not to consider Jesus Christ then that leaves few others; 1. Abraham certainly, being Father of many nations. God revealed himself to him as the Possessor of Heaven and Earth. That was the first time God would do such to any man. Besides Abraham is one of the few we are scripturally sure are in heaven. 2. King Solomon because that is scriptually who God says would be the richest human being ever. 3. Job because he was the richest in the East and he lived the most fulfilled life. Scripturally an ideal man who went through the worst of all challenges but never denied God. Remained husband to one wife and blessed with many children and lived to see his 4th generations. 4. Paul because he was the perfect example of an successful single man in full time ministry. 5. Peter because he was the perfect example of a married man in full time ministry. 6. Aquila and Priscilla because they were the perfect example for a couple in full time ministry. 7. Others are Moses, David, Mary (mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, etc. In summary, it's difficult to select one person as the richest person in the bible. Because riches is beyond financial success. It is all encompassing. |
Emusan:Every thing takes understanding. He is not wrong either. Adam is the one God willed the whole earth to. We are all his seeds, even Abraham and King Solomon are his seeds. So he is scripturally right. However what makes Jesus Christ (Second Adam) richer than the First Adam is that God willed the heaven and the Earth to Him. |
MaxInDHouse:You've answered yourself. The post is not about spirit beings but human beings. Hence it cannot be Jehovah- God the Father. It is Jesus Christ- God the Word made flesh in the human form |
IconicR:Thought she was always flaunting her virginity. This internet age dey humble anybody. |
Emusan:This was going to be my submission. But I'm still learning from some comments here. Will put up my submission later. Thanks for your wisdom. |
KnownUnknown:It takes a great scriptural knowledge and depth to know this. However, you're quite blunt and harsh.lol Thanks for sharing sir. |
Worriedwife:I mean the operation/process. Some pain can be numbed with analgesics |
Tallesty1:Prov.3.9 - Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; Prov.3.10 - So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. Neh.10.37 - to bring the firstfruits of our dough, our offerings, the fruit from all kinds of trees, the new wine and oil, to the priests, to the storerooms of the house of our God; and to bring the tithes of our land to the Levites, for the Levites should receive the tithes in all our farming communities. |
MrsTwrite:1. The birth-pang of natural birth is symbolic. It normally should change a woman forever. It's a NDE that should make one put life and legacy in perspective. It's difficult not to care for such a child when you know the cost of delivering them. 2. Nigerians don't appreciate CS. In Nigeria CS is also a NDE as some doctors can easily botch the process carelessly. Of course there's the cost implications. However where it is painless, some mothers don't get that sense of essence of child-birth that instils a sense of purpose, legacy and responsibility into a woman. I hope this helps. |
AllenSpencer:Which chapter? ![]() |
FREEMONEY7:Thanks for sharing. This is so well articulated. |
TemplarLandry:Thanks for sharing chief. Perusing already. However, there's always some thing new to learn. A new or different opinion /understanding. |
This topic crossed my mind. NLDers, Let's discuss. Who was the richest person in the bible? Mods, kindly push to FP. Thanks. |
meum:How we spend our first fruits/income/salaries is very significant. What you spend it on is a reflection of where your heart is- what/who matters the most to you. I don't believe sowing all the first fruit is compulsory. Kingdom life in the new testament is not legalities. However for those who can, it is good and scriptural. God honors our financial sacrifices because money really is hard to sacrifice so when we do part with it sacrificially for God's work in the right place, it touches God's heart. But do ensure you are intentional how you spend it and on whom you spend it. Honor God, your parents, your spouse, your pastor, your self, siblings and whoever else matter to you. |
MrsTwrite:Well said. Not all church is the house of God. |
Acekidc4:Whether that is true or not, this much we know- heaven and he'll begins in the heart (state of mind). So many are in hell in their minds. While some are in heaven in their minds. Peace of mind and Joy is a state of heaven on earth. It is what the bible calls eternal life and it begins on earth as you know God through Jesus Christ. John.17.3 - And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. As regards the OP, that's obvious. If she dies in the process, straight to hell- It's self worship/idolatry. If she by any means were to repent, heaven is possible. |
Caaz:When a woman is rich (financially), she really needs a lot of wisdom. She can either decide to wait for a richer (financially) man or she can look beyond his financial success. Is he successful beyond financial riches? There's a reason riches is pluralised. Beyond being financially rich, is he; Spiritually rich Emotionally rich Intellectually rich Morally rich (Character) Biologically rich (family background, health etc). Socially rich (influence) It is a risky thing to focus on just financial riches and ignore the others. Some of which are core foundations in relationships and especially marriage. She can take the likes of Mrs Alakija, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Mrs Awosika, Dora akunyuli of blessed memory, Toyin Abraham, Rihanna as notable examples. There are so many financially rich women who married relatively not-so-rich husband but you'll never know because they don't make it obvious. They knew what was more important that they saw in their respective husbands. However, financially rich women are easy targets so more than the financial riches, she needs emotional riches. Women are often more emotional than logical. She needs to know how to balance that. As a believer yielding to the Holy Spirit and the Word of God really helps with this. God help us all and God bless our successful ladies with Good, honorable and fruitful marriages in Jesus name. Amen. |
fyzaila:Find a way of casually telling him the truth before yours or his next birthday. Let him know you didn't think it was serious then but now that you're both serious you don't want any lie between the two of you. Ask him also if there's any thing he'll also like to come clean about. A relationship may not start perfectly but you can rebuild the foundation. Most importantly if you're a believer, you should know there's no such thing like a little or white lie. Try as much as possible to live a truthful life. It even makes it easy for you to relate with God and people. Galatians 5:9 A little leaven [a slight inclination to error, or a few false teachers] leavens the whole batch [it perverts the concept of faith and misleads the church]. |
Leggodeals:I admire your train of thought. It is restitution for past sins. However it is not always required in all cases. This is why one needs the counsel and leading of the Holy Spirit. God does not always use the method for everyone. To pick from some brains/thoughts here; 1. He certainly needs to stop now and ask for forgiveness and determine never to be fraudulent again. His conscience probing him is a good sign that there is still hope for his salvation. So many don't even have conscience again, it has been seered with hot iron. Lol 2. He needs to find a way of demanding for a salary increment officially and professionally, knowing in his heart that he is ready to resign if need be. He can do this when he has found another option or even now, his choice. 3. He needs to stop keeping up with the jones'es. He should as soon as possible separate from those contacts/friends/colleagues he's is competing or comparing himself to. And be willing to live a solo life for a while before meeting like minds. 4. He should really start surrounding himself with things and people that help him do and live right. The church is God's establishment for this- a non-competitive Church whose passion is for knowing God through bible study and soul winning. |
haffaze777:But children are suffering or being favored for the wrong or right choices/decision/actions of their parents every day. Now bring that home to your own parents, then your grandparents then all the way to your ancestors, all the way to the first person in your lineage (whoever you agree that is). Does this at least make sense to you? |
mycar:Can a man mock God? I would be mocking myself if I speak in error. Let me help you clarify all I have written. Every thing that happens in this life is God's Will. If good happens to you, then you're in God's Good Will If bad happens to you, you're in God's Bad will because you chose your own will or listen to wrong voices/counsel or align with wrong agenda. This doesn't mean challenges don't happen to everyone. When one is in God's Good Will, even the bad challenges were designed for his good. Selah Gal.6.7 - Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Gal.6.8 - For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Rom.8.28 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Prov.20.24 - A man's steps are of the LORD; How then can a man understand his own way? |
FreeBiafra2018:You're distracted. This is what you should be more concerned about, not me saying Amen to your prayer. Rom.9.13 - As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated." What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion." Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. Romans 9:17 For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth." |
FreeBiafra2018:I can't convince you, that is the work of the Holy Spirit. Even the PEPC and Supreme Court can't convince core Obidients (disobedients) that Tinubu won the election talkless of God's Good will, so who am I? |
FreeBiafra2018:It is not about whether I say Amen or not. I could say Amen just to satisfy you but it changes nothing. I am intentionally aligned with God's Good will. God help us all to know and to do His will. Phil.2.12 - Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; Phil.2.13 - for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. It is a fearful thing not to know that you're not in God's Will. And it is the Grace and Mercy of God that helps one to Know and do His Will. You cannot be in God's Good Will unless by his Mercy. You should pray to be in His Good will. |
Nothing happens outside God's Will. Definition of Will (Noun): 1. One's independent faculty of choice; the ability to be able to exercise one's choice or intention. Of course, man's will is often regulated by his reason. 2. The act of choosing to do something; a person’s conscious intent or volition. Most creatures have a will to live. 3. One's intention or decision; someone's orders or commands. Eventually I submitted to my parents' will. 4. Firmity of purpose, fixity of intent Synonyms: determination, firmness, resoluteness, resolve. 5. (law) A formal declaration of one's intent concerning the disposal of one's property and holdings after death; the legal document stating such wishes. There is the Good Will of God and what happens outside God's Good Will which we can call Bad will. Which is why it is said that Life and Death he has placed before us, it is by our choices/will that we decide if we will be in His Good Will or Bad Will. Deuterononmy 30:15-20 Let me try to walk us through the history of our choices as Nigerians and how we incurred God's bad Will and hopefully how we are realigning back into His Good Will. 1. As a former pagan nation, Nigeria was naturally in God's Bad will, due to the original sin of Adam and Eve. If and how God saves before the Gospel comes to a land is known to God. 2. Christianity came and we received Grace for God's Good will. Because Salvation is of the Jews. John 4:22 As common with every new convert, Nigerians experienced God's Goodness and Favor. However we became proud, fell from Grace and incured God's wrath. Naturally when demons are cast out of a person or a land, the demons try to find a new place but if unfound, they come back with more wicked demons and if the person or land is not standing well in Christ, the former state of the person or land would be worse than their life before Christ. Matthew 12:43-45 3. This has been the story of Nigeria since Independence till date. We were good Christians, Nigerians then had the fear of God, excellent spirit and love. Today, clearly these values have nearly become extinct. Nigerians are notoriously infamous for lack of fear of God, lazy spirit and hatred. I speak of the majority. But God always keeps a remnant. Our excellent spirit is unfortunately perverted and re-routed into destructive ventures such as fraud and immoralities. 4. However, God is not wicked. Just like Adam and Eve, just like the Israelites in Egypt, just like the prodigal son, God does not abandon His people/children. Yes, he leaves us to suffer the consequences of our sin but provides a means to redeem us once again. Which is why he raises out of his remnant those who will preserve themselves, intercede for his people and faithfully align with His Divine plan. Such as Moses, such as Isaiah, such as David, such as Elijah, such as John the Baptist, such as the Early Apostles. Most times, these men/women will not be known. Because true disciples of Christ and men of God are not seeking worldliness like most of those we call men of God today. Their focus is to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness- that His Kingdom Come and His Wiill Be Done on Earth as it is In Heaven. These ones are after Redemption of Souls and Destruction of the works of Sin, Satan, Grave and Death. Some typical examples of such whom I have found today are Apostle Joshua Selman, Nathaniel Bassey, Victoria Orenze, Dunsin Oyekan ana some others. They have some thing Profound in common, these ones. They Carry a Burden of Christ and they Move circumspectly by the Power of the Holy Spirit like the vision of Ezekiel 1:4-21. 5. I laid this foundation so that we will know that just as God revealed to Daniel in a vision, nothing happens- past, present or future that God has not declared and revealed to His prophets. Our Will/Choices simply determine which character/role we will play in God's Will/Plan. Will you be an Anti-Christt or Disciple of Christ? Will you be aligned with the Kingdom of Satan or the Kingdom of God? 6. The last election saw majority if not all Nigerians fulfill the condition for God's redemption. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and repent. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Nigerians have never prayed, not ever before, the way we prayed in the last election. And as promised God answered according to His faithfulness. However it is God who knows what is Good/Best for us, for we know not how we out to pray, which is why the best prayer a person can pray is speaking in spirit/tongues Romans 8:26. Just as a demographic prayed for PO, another prayed for Tinubu, another prayed for Atiku, another prayed for kwankwanso, etc. Yet we all had one thing in common- that God should save us and give us Prosperity. No man can save or deliver Nigeria except by God's Grace. PO, Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwanso can't. Only God can. 7. In His Mercy and according to His set time, we have found Favour in His sight. Psalm 102:13 It is no coincidence and any one who is truly honest will know that all odds were stacked against Tinubu in the last election by his own party APC and the former President Buhari and also Emefiele. They did every thing within their power and political prowess to frustrate Tinubu's chances of winning the election- they even went as far as devising and implementing the satanic Cashless Policy, without regard to the lives that would suffer and die just to make sure Tinubu's finance could not buy votes and influence the elections. I said that to say this- that God himself elected Tinubu. It is a vain thing to fight God's elect. BAT's God-given name is Ahmed, which means God's Elect or Praiseworthy. 8. Tinubu has fought faithfully for Democratic rule since 1993 along side NADECO. And 30 years after God i His faithfulness has honored Tinubu's faithfulness (commitment to democracy) by making him the President in this time whom he will restore the Glory of His church and the economy of Nigeria and by extension Africa. Not because of Tinubu's righteousness because no one's righteousness can earn God's mercy and favor. All we have is the Grace and Mercy of God. He simply honors His Word in the life of whomsoever he has imputed His righteousness and whose heart aligns with His Will and who is faithful. Our righteousness is as a filthy rag before God when we are outside His will. It is when we are in His will that our righteousness is respected by God. The Holy Spirit helps us distinguish between God's righteouss (Kinddkm-oriented) and man's righteousness (religiousity). The Holy Spirit imputed God's righteousness in us so that we can begin to walk in true righteousness bearing the Gifts and Fruit of the Holy Spirit. 9. All indications show that Tinubu God's chosen vessel to rule Nigeria is this season of her restoration. Every one who meets him is convinced that this is not a man after his selfish ambition, he has already achieved all this. He is someone God has put the burden of establish democratic rule in Nigeria that Nigeria may truly enjoy the dividends of Good governance. His Administration has only just begun to work. The Ministers have been carefully selected barely 2 weeks ago and we are already seeing results and more will come. PO, ATIKU and their supporters are not wrong to exercise their civic rights to contest the conduct of the election. Because truly it was not a free and fair election. However, whatever it is they are accusing Tinubu for, they are equally guilty of. Nigeria only had a free and fair election in 1993. The PEPC has given them the chance to present their cases and evidences which they did. However they failed to prove and validate their allegations within the ambit of the Nigerian constitution which is the Authroritive Law of Nigeria. Hence Tinubu has been affirmed the Rightly President of Nigeria. It is also not wrong for PO and Atiku to seek further redress and present their case to the Apex court- Supreme Court. Hopefully when the Supreme Court gives the final verdict, this opposition will come to rest and all will know that God Himself has elected President BAT. 10. It is however wrong how PO and Atiku and their followers have continued to defile the authorities and everyone who supports Tinubu. It is a faithful saying that when you're God's elect- Blessed is every one who blesses you and cursed is everyone who curses you, and in you all families will be blessed. Genesis 12:3. Everyone should be careful how they go about expressing their dissatisfaction and grievances because God is watching every thing we say and do and his judgment is already here- Blessing for who he meets in His will and Punishment for who he meets outside His will. Selah. Rejoice! God's Good Will be done In Nigeria and To Us Nigerians and to all who wish her well in Jesus name. Amen To God Almighty belongs all the Glory, Honor, Wisdom, Dominion and Majesty For Ever and Ever. Amen |
fyzaila:It's because you're a honest person. Most people who use the word indiscrimately do not know what love is. To love some one even for relationship (eros) comes with some level of responsibilities (esp billing). Not to speak of biblical kind of love- Agape and Philia (sacrifice and gifts) |
Westerhoffe:And that's why he lost Riri. Now she's happily married with ASAP Rocky. He's a sworn lover boy. |
ClintonEmex:Nothing happens by coincidence. You should be more interested who is behind the inspiration. She is either knowingly or unknowingly inspired by demons. Life is spiritual. The same way the Holy Spirit finds expressions through humans/vessels is the way demonic spirits finds expressions through humans/vessels. She needs deliverance and sadly she might not even know it. She thinks she is exploring her creativity. |
ecolime:This is the wisest counsel they can have. But as usual,can one listen to reason when blinded by hate? |
He has simply made common sense. |
lexy2014:This is why you're a PO supporter. You want things and people to go your way and play by your own rules. Learn to adjust to the way and rules of others. I've played your little game and adjusted to your rule, now exercise good judgment and maturity by doing the same. This will be my last reply to you today. Do have a blessed day. |
lexy2014:Off point. You clearly do not like to read. Because I clearly added, for further explanations read previous replies. Touché. ![]() |
