I agree with all you said about grace. But take time to listen to this man and compare what he says with scriptures and you would have to choose either the testimony of Jesus and the apostles as recorded in the bible or this man's testimony. They are worlds apart.

He did not go to heaven. I have read visions of heaven in the books of revelation, Isaiah, Enoch etc yet none of these men went to heaven themselves when they saw these visions.

In the bible there are only 3 men that is recorded to have gone to heaven and arguably four. Enoch, Elijah, Jesus and arguably Moses. All these men do not have their bones in any grave. Their bodies are transformed into glory and you cannot find them in their graves. Every other dead person is awaiting resurrection. That is the hope of believers. There is however a record of some righteous men who were resurrected with Jesus and many believe they went with him to heaven but you would also notice that their graves became empty.

If a dead man is to go to heaven he would have to wake up from his grave and ascend to heaven otherwise he is dead and his soul is either in paradise or hell. Both paradise and hell are temporary places of rest and torment respectively. Rest for the godly and torment for the ungodly. On the day of judgement ( the day of the Lord) all those who are dead would be awaken ( resurrect) Hell would release those who are in it. In other words hell would be empty. All men shall rise from their graves and stand before the son of God to give account of their deeds.


In the final destruction of evil the bible records that all evil shall be destroyed in the lake of fire ( this is not hell). For hell, Hades, death, Satan, and all whose names are not found written in the book of life shall be thrown into the lake of fire. this is the second death.


If you believe the bible you would agree that the judgement this man is talking about would not be done by the angels. Jesus who is both son of man and son of God would judge man and not any angel. 

We are not saved by legalism or keeping of certain laws of dos and don'ts. All children of God have in them the spirit of Christ and are known by the Lord. Even if a man calls Jesus Lord but has not in him the Spirit of God he only deceives himself.

Stupidity all around.

I have once been flogged 24 strokes of the cane along with every boy in the class when I was in Primary 5. Till date, my parents never heard of that incident; my dad and that teacher grew up in the village together. If i had dared mention it to my dad, he would have continued from where the teacher left off.

Children of today are too spoilt. I do not even want to talk about kids bred abroad. After I saw a friend's 10 year old niece fighting his elder sister (who was the girl's mum and they live in Scotland), that was the day I decided that my children can NEVER be bred abroad.

And they will be punished when they are wrong, either by me or in school by their teachers.

I have been completely and pleasantly shocked by this picture. Heaven help me, bold, creative and in a way attention seeking. Taking the attention away from the bride. would you let your husband steal the show on your wedding day?

i'm just curious but is this not the same Dele Momodu that owns ovation, the magazine that in its hay days hailed the thieveing governors and politicians.

how many of them did he critic when they where milking their state treasury dry and throwing parties in western country, how come he now remembers he is a journalist when Goodluck is the President.

i'm not holding brief for Goodluck but Dele should tell us the reason for his outburst on the president, because i think he is doing a PHd on Goodluck, every atricle he writes on thisday has the president's name in it, and i really mean every

Lavish weddings?

I am not sure Uncle Dele will not do same if given the same opportunity.

JeSoul:
Well, I'm sorry you miss the point and no problem if that's the conclusion you reached. I place the highest of emphasis & value on the life & teachings of Jesus Christ. Cheers.

Everything in Nigeria is meant to showcase wealth - marriage, birthday, burial, anniversary, memorial service, out-of-prison service, thanks-giving service, miracle service, naming ceremony, etc. This is the reason why more than 90 percent of Nigerians will steal if they are in the position to do so. The life of the society is geared towards showcasing wealth.

Which could easily have been cured by a pill.

How is it different from malaria, a cold, a headache? This is about enlightening people to stop demonizing things that God has already provided the solution for via medical science. Your post is not helping matters because it is not giving the entire picture. That woman would likely be alive today if she had been taken to a psychiatrist.

Back to this poor woman in question, it sounds more like she was psychotic than just depression. Her leaving home and wandering about all night makes it appear to be more than depression. Post partum psychosis, schizophrenia, acute psychotic episodes etc come to mind.

When will my people stop wasting each other’s lives? Spiritual leaders please wake up and start to educate our people!

Post Partum Depression, why does everything have to be a spiritual problem? Haba, Mothers are taught about this at antenental clinics. I am so so sad. They should have taken her to the hospital and not conclude it was a spiritual problem. Post patrum Depression, on my Gosh, My people really perish for lack of knowledge

Hi friends, after reading all your stories, i've decided to publish this funny but real life encounter with 419. My friend told me this story he had with them. He was going home from work, very tired and hungry and had small naira with him but not much to buy any tangible thing. He was stoped by one guy who said he had travel from far place and need direction on some location. My friend said ok and directed him. He moved some steps forward and he was approached by another guy who ask him what that guy was discussing with him. My friend having explained to him and abt to go was convince to call the other guy back and ask what he was doing and how he manage to get here. My friend having known that they are 419 ppl decided to play along since he had no money home and abroad. He call the guy and ask him those questions. He answered and promise to give him some dollars if he help him find the place. He went with them to a place and the showed him some dollars and said that much of it is with one native doctor but that he need money to pay the man to pray for the money so that they can share it. Agreement was reached. Remember that i told you guys that my friend was playing along. So he acted as if he will die if he didn't get his share and this abt convinced this guys that the guy has falling for them. The said that everybody shld go and bring his. My guy told them that he had no money with him but he saw his uncle with a huge amount of money yesterday and that is his only hope to bring his share. So they asked him to go and bring it. He told them to wait for him in 1-2 hours time that he knew where his uncle kept the key. All of a sudden, my guy frown his face. They ask him why. He searched himself and brought that small money he was with and told them that he really can't go to his uncle place now since he had no money to take a drop to that place. They offer to drive him but he said that it will risk suspection from nabors. They agree to give him some money for drop. Guess how much a drop is in coal city. Very much money indeed. My friend pretended to be in a hurry to go and get the money. He enter local transport and stop near his house. There is one joint nearby that he desires to go but had no money. So he entered and ordered for bush meat with palm wine. He eat and drink while the fools where still waiting for him to bring his uncle money. That is the end. He told me this story few years back. So guys who is the 419er now? Answer if you can
