mikeapollo:

Please, in response to your questions, can you please tell me the mentors of:
1. Moses
2.Elijah
3.John The Baptist
4.Jeremiah
5.Daniel

, You are talking as if God must always use another man to mentor His prophet before He can annoint and commission the prophet for His work and Glory. The same reason the Pharisees rejected Jesus because they did not know how He started or got His commission from.

God uses His prophets in different ways for different purposes at times.
When God wants to mould and use you in a special way for His Glory alone, He would bring you out of the mud, clean you up and make you what he wants you to be. Why do you think TB Joshua was not able to achieve all his human aspirations as a young boy, even though he was brilliant in school? God made it so, so that He alone could take the glory, and not share it with any mentor that could corrupt His glory

Thank you very much at least it shows you have (little?) knowledge of the scriptures. These men you quoted were from the bible of which we all look into for our inspiration.

1.Moses - specific call from God by the burning bush. Read Exo. 2v7-22; Exo.3v1-6; Acts 7v31-35
2. Elijah - Same 1 Kgs. 17v1 and he gave (spiritual) birth to Elisha - 1 Kgs. 19v19
3.John The Baptist - Jesus stated his identity clearly Read Matt. 11v4; Luk 1v13
4.Jeremiah - Called by God from his mother's womb. Read Jer. 1v5
5.Daniel - Read Dan.1v17-20

All these were accounted for and recorded in the Book.

Even Jesus, it was written about him that the Holy Spirit inspired (mentored) him and he also read from the same scriptures - Isa. 61v1-2; Luke 4v18-19. I am not judging TB but I cannot help but ask the same question: who mentored him? Who is his (spiritual) father? Keeping in mind that "manna" stopped falling from heaven.

sun_temi:

One can't be serious all the time. I play video games whenever I want relax.

I play games everyday but should that be a thread? That's where I'm coming from.

How old are you sir? There are more pressing issues to discuss than playing games,

sniperwolf:

Indifferent

Yea same here.

But can somebody tell us who his mentors are?
Who gave (spiritual) birth to him?
Who are his brethren? (from the same spiritual father)
Where are they?

We know Oritsejafor, Omobude, Oyedepo, even (controversial) Oyakhilome and the likes - children of Idahosa (blessed memory)
Baba Adeboye - Late Pa Akindayomi (Founder of RCCG)
Oyedepo (Winners) - Directly ordained by Baba Adeboye (RCCG)
Idahosa (blessed memory) - Mentored by Pastor Okpo (most likely from Assemblies of God Church), Oral Roberts, T. L. Osborn
Tunde Bakare - from Kumuyi (Deeper Life)
Daniel Olukoya (MFM) - from CAC (Ayo Babalola)
All these are subject to verification and confirmation. But where do we place TB Joshua?

In all these, I still remain indifferent - only time would reveal the truth - Acts 5v34-39

I'm really surprised that our responses on today's topics have been very shallow. What we need to get clear is that:
1. there is no money marked "stolen"
2. there is also no money that stinks
3. in actual fact we have only humans who are stinkingly rich

For Ibori's case, he needed to plead guilty for the following reasons:
1. to shorten the trial so that he can come home to enjoy "his" money
2. to serve the sentence since it is likely to be short (remember Tafa Balogun) and then come home to enjoy "his" money
3. to ensure conclusion while his "cousin"(Gov) is in office because the way he sees the next naija politics, a lot of changes are imminent
4. with the massive loot at his disposal, he can play the "DON" of delta politics which had been the style in the past.

An interesting case for GEJ and the entire executive arm of Government.

The team needs a psychologist/manager. Period!

Good riddance to bad rubbish! If he can be well suited to sell plantains then he must be making plenty of money. I don't pity him one bit. He is only enjoying his money. Meanwhile, what is the guarantee that this guy is a graduate? What is the picture says is simply "a well-dressed man with a tray full of plantains on his head" and not "a graduate hawking plantain in suit". I believe this site is for intellectuals and not miscreants.

The unseriousness saga continues. Don't worry, when the time comes we shall start our usual permutations.

Watched it live and checkout his response - "this is not a political rally. During my campaign I got worse response but I still won the election".

Can you imagine?!!!!!!

What more can one say? Oyakhilome simply entangled himself because he lacks the genuine undiluted word of God. He needs to go back to biblical school and be taught afresh. He has millions of misled (unteachable) converts. He is like Apollos in Acts 18v24-28. He needs to be retrained. He has the zeal but lacks the knowledge - Romans 10v2. Head knowledge in these last days would lead to serious tragedy.

The other day we heard a very serious explosion from a container-carrying trailer. The first thing we did was to run for safety and then waited for a follow-up. Unfortunately, it was just one of the tires that exploded due to overloading. As for this particular story, it is obvious that the media is also contributing to the problem of this nation due to false reporting. My advice is that they should not just publish any story because they want to sell. 9ja people have a very high IQ to bring out the contents of messages and tell the intents of same. Therefore, this story is false, politically masterminded to destabilize the nation and religiously motivated to bring another form of crisis.

This figure is from shell view. How about from the militants view, cabals view, sea pirates view? Chei! Chei!! Chei!!! Poor man dey suffer for this Naija sha. God help us.

teewai27:

The problem with many nigerians is that we think we know too much bible.we focus on condemning other just cos it mkes us feel good n righteous. The thing we miss is a personal relatnshp with God which cant be attained if we spend most of our time picking on other xtians. So what if pastor chris said that? Does it make it right or wrong?if u self-service n ure looking for someone to quote so u feel justified, look within urself. How do u feel wen u do it, ?or after uve done it?does the holy spirit condemn u?im sure many xtians feel guilty afterwards. Dats enuf reason to stop it. Its not about a pastor, its about u and ur God.

Why do we then condemn the Govt? Christianity is all about the Wisdom (Christ) of God. Read James 3v17: "But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy". Let us call a spade a spade, I watched the videos (2mins & 8mins), there were no scriptural references to his utterances. They were purely "head knowledge", mere talk, no power behind the words. This is purely HERESY - Chris Oyakhilome has erred and needs to ask God for forgiveness. He should remove the "African Leaders Mentality" (ego & pride) from his mind and ask God for help.

MOI LOVINA:

hahahahaha I laugh in latin. It is not a SIN. It is a matter of choice, i know a lot of married couples that engage in it. Theyactually encourage each other to indulge in it for pure satisfaction a nd to avoid infidelity. next una go talk say head na sin. It is a matter of how u feel wen you do it. if u feel condemmed then stop.
Pastor Chris carry go norrin do you.

Couples? Where did they get that from? Is it not from watching (or past views of) pornographic materials? Wise up pal, God is not (and cannot be) mocked.

In as much as I don't want to comment on this issue, I cannot help but say this:
1. Let us all be wise as Gamaliel - Acts 5v34-39, so that we don't sin.
2. Recently, our dear pastor has been troubled in his personal life. So I think he may not have been in the right frame of mind when he said.
3. One error begets another. He may not have any scriptural basis for these words but trust him, he would wiggle his way out.
4. I am a very principled christian. I cannot attend any church just like that. The "set man" must be ready to answer a lot of questions.
5. This is a typical sign of the end-time. People do not have time to study the "WORD" of God anymore. Whatever "the man" says is final. The berean brethren went back to check if the apostles were actually telling the truth - Acts 17v10-11.
6. I will not be surprised if we have lesbians and gays in that "church" in the name of "brotherly/sisterly love" - Heb. 13v1;Rom. 12v10;1 Thes. 4v9
7. They refuse to come to terms with truth and therefore easily deceived- 2 Tim. 3v7,13
8. Your "body" is the temple of the Holy Spirit (of God) - 1 Cor. 6v19
9. God will destroy whosoever defiles his temple (body) - 1 Cor. 3v17

I refuse to comment at all on this matter. The "man of God" is answerable only to the one who called him and not any one of you "castigating" him. Therefore sidon look.

No thanks to all the contributors to this thread. I thought that by now the whole "hoola-baloo" should have stopped. Let's pause and ponder with these questions:
1. Is covenant the only private university in this country?
2. Is it the best among the privately owned universities in Nigeria?
3. Is it the first?
4. What is it's rank in the world's universities list?

The same questions apply to Unilag plus:
1. Where are the products in the country?
2. What are their impact in the affairs of this country?

These questions and more are waiting to be answered. Meanwhile, quoting from the Bible:

Eccl. 12v13 - Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
Eccl. 9v11 - I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

Bottom Line: STOP POSTING COMMENTS

Samasama:

Am a corp member servin in borno state presently batch c. Am 4rm edo state but i live in lagos. I heard a chance 2 relocate but i did not. U see, pls it a matter of choice lets stop discouragin ppl who would want 2 come nd serve in borno state. Yes no corp member has been kill since d security problem started nd with God none would b kill. The truth is dat we should stop d discouragement maiduguri is nt as bad as u all think it is.

Thank you for drawing attention to yourself. I choose to ignore you henceforth for lack of "obvious reasoning".

Simple question:

if i have money - covenant is better!
if i don't have money - unilag is better

Either way, whichever gives me the job is better

You see your "democrazy" in Naija? This man cannot even differentiate a military personnel and a corp member. Even the so called armed military men dread Boko Haram talk less of certificate armed corp member.

Rich4god:

Its as simple as ABC. Let them post northern muslim corpers to all those states affected by boko haram.

Rich4god, u knacked the nail for head. GBAM!

hbabe:

Resignation from public office is not part of our African culture.
They would rather sit down there and bribe/bully their way through any scandal.

Can someone tell me why such country would not develop? This is really foreign to the African culture.

sucnif:

The New IGP number.
The numbers are 08077446699 or 08102555581.
Send sms for prompt disciplinary action against erring officers but please be wise, don’t be a fallen ‘hero’

can i hide my number when sending SMS? Why not call? At least that way i can hide my identity. C'mon guy, we are not matured for this yet. The only way this can work is that you must first be a public figure by seeking public attention. That way you can secure yourself from being "solemnly silenced".

See what we have said on NL? This is not a case of "uniform" but a case of "mindset". IGP sir, give them a "Sparkling white" uniform and you don't change their character/orientation, then you have succeeded in contributing your own quota of "wasteful spending". These men MUST be brought to book, starting from the area commander if he cannot produce the policemen that perpetrated this heinous crime.

we we:

It is really a sad story. Imagine a friend of mine was sack This morning, he has a wife, 3 kids, 2brothers and aged mother to cater for. Cos of all these responsibilities had little or no savings. how can he Survive?

I have the answer - He MUST look on God. If he has never been serious with Him, this is an opportunity to do so.

price it:

it's really bad how people forget about the good things we appreciate from them, how they make us proud of the green white green. Anyway naija ppl never get enough satisfaction in any thing, talk of the good works of those men, not the bad onces.

They have been very inconsistent. Besides, when last did they achieve anything or even play to your delight? Before now, we were sure of the "Golden Bronze", then what? We stopped winning the same medal. And now, pam para para! We stopped qualifying for the nations cup. So tell me the good things to remember about the recent crop of egocentric footballers we have. In fact, Zambia is the team of the moment joooooo!

onila:

the last time i watched super eagles play i had severe fever
the team increases yr high blood pressure

Same for me here

Ask those who have just been sacked today and they will tell you. Just pray that you get the job first. And if the package is not better than what you already have then you either remain where you are or use the platform to boost your CV as one of the places you worked. Wise up brother!

narttis1:

I guess N1tr will be used for that

Latest slogan - "trillion". no more "cabals"

A good man remains good irrespective of what he wears. The uniform is not the issue but the personality inside it. What the IGP should do is to embark on re-orientating the entire police force. Besides, by ensuring that all personnel get trained, he can make some "money" . Bottom line - change the thoughts of the people and not the uniform.

Good job sir. Things must not continue like this. With this example, others with similar intentions would reconsider.

GEJ may not support SNC for now. But be rest assured that as soon as he steps down as president, that would be is primary and only agenda. Then he would realize that he wasted a clear chance of writing his name in the history books of "positive achievers"

God bless Naija.

The man has forgot that their time has gone when they can harass anybody anyhow

The father is still living in the past. Thank God for NL and i'm sure the appropriate authorities have taken not of this man so as to discipline (dismiss) him for displaying such irresponsibility. As for the boy, open a spare part shop for him because it is certain he will not pass the exams.
