I had 2.6 two times but graduated with a 2.1. Target an 'A' in project and maintain 3.7 until graduation.

Religion is a burden we do not need to carry; the saviour says cast your burdens, come to me, in me is life, you shall find rest for your soul!

Gonna seriously miss them! I always look forward to Saturdays to listen to their programme 'Voices'. They are patriotic Nigerians who have in their little way spoken for humanity, advocated for justice, called leaders to responsibility and much more. Commons sense tells me that the powers that be won't find their good programmes any palatable, so covert clash is predictable.
They've been an inspiration
They've held the torch for a dark world
But the breed here seems to be fans of darkness
So rather than appreciate the light
They found it repugnant
But the remnant have appreciated it
Their effort is a planted seed
It will blossom and bear fruit in the course of time
From my heart, I say 'best wishes'

It means that the gospel might be unpalatable to the human being. It might seem unreasonable to the human wisdom; and potentially cause conflict even among family members.

I don't like the idea of jumping quickly to call people witches. Those people also have the choice to equally call you a witch! Why should you be afraid of a witch? That shows lack of faith; be strong in faith and you may not need to bother about witches!

wonderful and instructive! One of my favourite lines is: "To be silent in the face of evil is to do worse evil"

A futile attempt to call white black. Even if an angel should descend to tell us anything different from the gospel we have, it will only be another futile attempt!

In as much as Christians are also subject to the same temptation of formication as everyone else; it may not be true that they fall in the curious percent given by the op. Besides, others may not fare better! Come to think of it, a Christian is one who is like Christ, and one who is like Christ cannot continue to fornicate. Hence, anyone who fornicates is either non of Christ or has fallen to the previous vomit and needs restoration.
The foundation of the Lord standeth sure... the Lord knows those who are His.

It is duty of everyone to seek that path that God has commanded men to follow in order to find Him. No man has any excuse before God! A man should test every spirit, rather than just believe anything. Salvation is for all, free for that matter. The true seeker will surely find Him!

Unfortunate how people endorse discrimination, laziness etc. Why shouldn't a Nigerian study wherever he/she chooses? Maybe, each state should be a country of its own so that such discriminatory charges would be justified!

Not everyone will enter heaven. Only those whose names are inscribed in the Lamb’s book of life will be there (Rev. 21:27). What must one do to have his or her name entered in the Lamb’s book of life?
First he (or she) must recognize that he is a sinner and therefore under divine condemnation (Psa. 51:5; Rom. 5:12,18,19; 3:10,23; John 3:18,36).
Next, he must realize that he cannot enter heaven by his own merit or effort (Eph. 2:8,9; Tit. 3:5).
Third, he must repent of his sins (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30; 20:21). Repentance is a change of mind and heart which causes one to turn from sin unto the Saviour.
Last, he must receive Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour, the One who died for his sins upon the cross and rose again from the grave (John 1:12; 3:15,16; 5:24; Acts 16:31; Rom. 10:9-13; 1 Cor. 15:14).
Are you prepared? If not, personally trust in the Lord Jesus Christ today. If you are prepared, then live and testify for Him who loved you and gave Himself for you (Gal. 2:20).

He looks to the cross, Who responds to the invitation to light, Who accepts the testimony of God about His son, Who believes the creator!

Now from a Christian perspective, if heaven does exist, ...


What a screaming contradiction! It cannot be a Christian perspective that heaven's existence is probabilistic.

"Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost his savor" -- if the church loses its effectiveness, its vital reality, its impact, what will happen to the world? The church is the world’s protection to make it tolerable to live in, Church of Jesus Christ. And it will eventually be thrown out by the world, and the Christian religion will be considered worthless if the church loses its vital reality.

Why are the saints so anxious to get their sleep while sinners revel all night... and church members stay up feasting their eyes on Sodom and Gomorrah brought by television into the living room instead of going to worship the Almighty?

"…the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work" (Eph. 4:16).

To keep the fire on, for isolating a live coal from the rest kills it!

The man God uses

Jesus said, "If I be lifted up from the earth I will draw all men unto Me" (John 12:32)

Speaking of the message of the cross in First Corinthians, Paul writes, "God was well pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

"…your faith should not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God" (1 Cor.2:5).

"For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing foolishness, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (1 Cor.1:18)

What men do not like they try hard not to believe.

A Voice From Hell You lived next door to me for years. We shared our dreams, our joys and tears. A friend to me you were indeed; A friend who helped me when in need. What sadness then I’ve come to find That after all you weren’t so kind! The day my life on earth did end I found you weren’t a faithful friend! For all those years we spent on earth, You never talked of "second birth." You never spoke of my lost soul And of the Christ who’d make me whole! Please do not err, my friend, again! Do all you can for souls of men; Plead with them now quite earnestly Lest they be cast in hell with me! Author Unknown

Circumstances Cannot Break God’s Promises
Alexander H. Kerr was converted under the ministry of Dwight L. Moody at the age of fourteen and joined the Presbyterian Church at Philadelphia. In 1902 Mr. Kerr read the book entitled, "Judah’s Sceptre and Joseph’s Birthright," by Bishop Allen. In his book Bishop Allen referred to the vow Jacob made in Genesis 28, where we find the following words, "Of all that Thou shalt give me, I will surely give the tenth unto Thee."
Twenty years later this same Jacob returned to his home with servants and cattle in great abundance. He thus became one of the rich men of the East as a result of keeping his covenant of tithing with the Lord God.
With some doubts, but with a sincere desire to test if the Bible is true, to prove without a shadow of doubt that there is a personal God and that His promises are from everlasting to everlasting, and that they are intended for people of this day, Mr. Kerr, on June 1, 1902, made a special covenant to set aside a certain percentage of his income for the work of the Lord.
At that time he had a mortgage on his little home, owed many obligations, and was burdened with cares and worries especially of a financial nature. However, he was determined to prove God as did Jacob (Prov. 3:9-10; Lev. 27:30-32; Gen. 14:20, 13:2; especially Mal. 3:7-18). Mr. Kerr often remarked that if modern-day skeptics wanted proof that there is a God, and that the Bible is His Holy Word and all its promises are true, all that is necessary is to tithe for one year, and God will prove to them without doubt that He is "the same yesterday, and today, and forever" (Heb. 13:.
Within three months after Mr. Kerr began to tithe, unexpected and unforeseen blessings came to him – so much so that it seemed to him that God had thus opened his eyes to behold His love and His faithfulness to His promises, especially made in regard to tithing or giving one-tenth.
"According to Your Faith Be It unto You"
Matthew 9:29
That same year Mr. Kerr, with a very small capital but with strong faith in God’s tithing promises contained in Malachi 3:10-12, organized the firm known as the Kerr Glass Manufacturing Company which eventually became one of the largest firms selling fruit jars in the United States. The jars were manufactured for him in San Francisco.
At the time of the San Francisco earthquake (1906) this firm was manufacturing his fruit jars. Mr. Kerr had put practically every cent he had in the world into this fruit jar enterprise and then came the earthquake! His friends came to him and said, "Kerr, you are a ruined man." He replied, "I don’t believe it…. I know God will not go back on His promises."
He wired to San Francisco, and received the following reply: "Your factory is in the heart of the fire, and undoubtedly is destroyed. The heat is so intense we will be unable to find out anything for some days."
What a time of testing this was! But his faith in the Lord never wavered. He believed Malachi 3:11: "I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground." He stood on this promise unmoved. About a week after the earthquake and fire, a second telegram arrived saying: "Everything for a mile and a half on all sides of the factory burned; but your factory was miraculously saved."
Mr. Kerr immediately boarded a train for San Francisco. This factory was a two-story wooden building containing the huge tanks where the glass was melted. These tanks were kept at extremely high temperatures. Oil was used for fuel, and therefore this building was the most inflammable in San Francisco. The fire had raged on all sides of this glass factory, creeping up to the wooden fence surrounding the building and even scorching it. Then the flames and fire leaped around and over and beyond the building, burning everything in its path. However, not even the wooden fence was burned, nor the building, and not a single glass jar was cracked by earthquake or fire.
This was nothing short of a miracle of God’s divine power in protecting this man who held his faith that God’s promises made to those who tithe would never be broken by any circumstances! God’s Word cannot return to Him void (Isa. 55:8-11).
Three weeks before his death he addressed the members of the First Baptist Church of Riverside, California, on the blessings and riches of tithing possessions, income and increase. Every business in which he had interests tithed. His returns were so great that he created a Tithing Fund and had it incorporated. His tithing gifts went around the world, for he was deeply interested in missions at home and abroad. He gave liberally. He was greatly interested in the distribution of Testaments, Gospels and religious literature.
Mr. Kerr was able to bless others because he believed that God would honor His promise to pour out His blessings today upon those who would accurately and carefully tithe – to set aside one-tenth of their possessions, salary or income for the Lord’s work.
