lol. I thot no one will wake up to this mess that is just birthed. Ha!! Was already wondering if Pst Chris has succeeded in brainwashing everyone on this section like he did his followers. Ha! Thank God.

Tgirl4real:
Please on which basis did you arrive at that conclusion. Misapplying scriptures again, a common characteristis of BLW members. Sigh!!!

I have discovered that many xtians think and talk about scriptures mainly on the intellectual basis. I posed a simple question . when does eternal life start in the life of the xtian and now what is the meaning of being partakers of divine nature?

Rhapsody of Absurdities.

Where is that in your bible? Is 65:17 clearly shows that chapter (including verse 19) was talking of a period when this present earth as we know it shall be no more.

He rose again to give you ETERNAL LIFE not a VICTORIOUS LIFE in this world.

davidylan
wetin we do you? abeg allow us enjoy our rhapsody. but to be serious, what is eternal life and when does eternal life start, now or in the life to come. well the last time i checked, the bible said we are partakers of the divine nature. put this together and what you have is a victorious life.

One thing i have come to realize is that though Christians bear the name of Christ, that is are saved, we may not operate on the same level of faith, understanding and walking in love. I was born and breed a pure catholic. even thought of becoming a reverend father. joined the charismatic group as a very young chap. before then i thought that all xtians out side the catholic church are doomed. well i now know better.
Today i have deep and good friends from Deeper Life, Watchman, Lord's chosen and even MFM. we focus on the need of the hour, getting people saved. it boils my heart when xtians lose their focus and focus on the minor.
So the problem is the individuals level of maturity.

[quote author=A_K_O link=topic=161004.msg2740575#msg2740575 date=1220312871]So if anybody dares say anything about my pastor that I don't like or agree even if there is or isn't an iota of truth in it, he/she is automatically a baby Christian.

HALLELUJAH!!!

Come on guys. . . . its a body as much as its a church.[/quote]A_K_O
Well if you say something about my pastor and it is false, i will point it out. but if you persist in spreading the falsehood, i will just shrug my shoulders. no name calling. Pastor Chris is my pastor and one thing i have learnt from him is to hold my peace even when people are spreading false hood.

It pains my heart when people run down men of God without proof. as a journalist i have several proofs that miracles recorded or that happen in Christ embassy are real. Lanre Oyetade is the Group Business Editor of Tribune Newspapers. while watching atomshere for miracles, his case was mentioned and he was healed of a problem in the feet or toes. open the pages of tribune where he anchors personal finance and you can get his number. call him.
it is a lazy man's argument that miracles that happen at Christ embassy are not verifiable.people making such claims should do well to investigate and verify whether they are real. i know of at least  three people who attended healing school of embassy and are doing fine in their health.
last word;
Rom 14:4  
Who are you that judges another's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. But he will stand, for God is able to make him stand.

this verse is very true.

His name is Christian not Christopher.

Igbo kwenu, ekene kwam unu. I am still owing the third part of my story. I still have many Mbediogu stories including a story where he died.

I love this new thread, now we examine the basic tenets of our faith in the light of the scriptures.
Also we can correct, exhort and admonish.welcome on board.

Ify, part 2 of the series.

Mbe follows Nkita to wrestling fair.
Before the appointed day, Mbe went and got himself a new cutlass which he kept sharpening with salt and grinding stone. Mbe would strut around throwing up the cutlass and catching it. He suddenly dash into the bush and slash at trees demonstrating how he would slash the necks of mkpi he will won at the fair.

He went to Nkita’s house and showed him the knife and did a warrior’s dance saying that his father Aniga was a renowned warrior of note.
Nkita told him to sheath the cutlass until he wins at the wrestling fair saying that you have to hold the egbe(kite) in your hands before asking whether women can partake of the meat.

On the appointed day, Mbe was at Nkita’s house early in the morning. He came with ten ropes and after the morning ritual of nzu and oji, they left together for the wrestling fair. On the way, Mbe was regaling Nkita of his prowess in manly activities such as wars, farming, wrestling and others.

Nkita advised Mbe to save his breath and used it at the arena.

Very soon, the duo arrived at the arena and registered their presence. The organizers of the fair came and read out the rules of the competition saying that while some go home in triumph, others would go home in tethers being led as trophies. Those who did not agree should pack their bags and go home or cheer from the side lines.

Nkita quickly went into action and asked Mbe to watch him do the first wrestling. He touched a big fat mkpi and two of them begin to slug it out. Very soon, Nkita did a special trick and the mkpi was down. He went and tethered it at where defeated animals were kept.

He told Mbe to come and prove his wrestling prowess. Mbe greedily pounced on a big mkpi and in a twinkle of an eye the he-goat had Mbe on the ground. Mbe begin to plead with Nkita not to allow the mkpi take him home. Nkita listened to him and bailed him by sacrificing the goat he won early on.

With that done, Nkita asked Mbe to stay on the side line and not wrestle again. Nkita now swing into action and in short time ten mkpis.
Mbe out of envy went to wrestle again and was defeated. The victor tied him to the stake. When Nkita came to tether another, he saw Mbe tied up at the stake. Mbe again pleaded to be saved. Nkita being the person that brought Mbe to the place again saved him.
As the fair was rounding up, Nkita saw one old mkpi suffering from afo osi-sa (diarrhea) and Mbe to wrestle that one. Alas Mbe could not defeat that one. But as the judges were momentarily distracted, Nkita kicked off the mkpi legs from behind and Mbe pushed him down. He now used all the ropes he brought and tethered the goat.

It was now time to go him, while Nkita took along the twelve he goats he won, Mbe was dragging the only one Nkita helped him to win.
Mbe was busy plotting how to cheat Nkita out of his prizes as they headed home. He was envious of nkita's success and decided to use tricks collect the mkpis.

Wait for the continuation.

Ify rove take this one for a start. will complete it later.

Mbe follows Nkita to wresting fair.
In the early days when animals still retained the power of speech and Lion was the king of the jungle, there were foot paths under the palm and ukwa trees while lizards still moved in twos and threes.
Then the tree tops were the natural abode of the osa and uze, while stories were still told under moon lights.

There was a terrible famine in the animal kingdom. Rains refused to fall at the appropriate time, grasses dried up and the animals could not find food to eat. Following the famine, many animals started dying off while those that survived looked skinny and bony from the hunger effect.

Only Nkita among the animals was looking healthy and most animals thronged his house to find out his secret. Nkita being a shrewd animal refused to divulge the source of his well being.

Mbe being a tricky fellow and full of cunning decided to break through Nkita’s resistance and discover the secret to his food source. He visited a counselor to advise him on how to win Nkita’s favor. The counselor told him that Nkita loves fresh palm wine and advised him to go to him with a calabash of fresh one.

One early morning, Mbe arrived at Nkita’s house and started praising him on his skills as a hunter, trust and speed. The praise singing continued and Mbe brought the calabash of palm wine and presented to Nkita.

After the normal ritual of breaking of kola nuts, Mbe presented his case to Nkita saying that Nkita should help him. Nkita gave him large pieces of meat and Mbe was thrilled and asked him for the source.

Nkita told Mbe that he gets the meat from mkpi (he-goat) he wins at wrestling fairs held weekly at the goats’ village in the neighboring community.
He explained that in the wrestling fair, who ever is thrown down belongs to the victor who is free to sell him or slaughter him for food. Also the victim could be redeemed.

Nkita then asked Mbe whether he is a good wrestler. Mbe replied that his father was the wrestling champion of his own and the skill flows in his system.

He asked Mbe to come back early morning in two days time so they can proceed to the wrestling fair. The wrestling fair holds every two igbo market weeks.
He also drilled it into Mbe’s ears that the rules meant that if he is thrown, he becomes the property of the victor and Mbe accepted agreeing to meet Nkita on the agreed date.

abeg, who attends rev. king's church?

No way!!!Mbe is still alive and kicking.
Now lets go.
Why Mbe hides in its shell
Ifo de, id, e. Oruru ofu oge, ofu oge aru.

In the land of idu na oba, there was a severe famine. All the animals were dying of hunger. the animals were foraging in the bush looking for some thing to eat and be alife. it was as if there was a consipiracy because all the edible trees refused to bear fruit.

Mbediogu one day decided to go deep inside the bush to look for food. He decided that it is better to die trying rather to sit down in the house and allow hunger kill him with his family slowly.

Mbe concluded in his heart, onye kwere,chi ekwere. While foraging inside the bush, Mbe saw a ripe and fresh palm fruit. He quickly ate it as he had not eaten for days.
Looking around, he a lonely palm tree with a ripe head of palm nuts on top( ogbe akwu)

Mbe did a little jig and praised his chi for leading him to the tree. He said that it is with ofo that the earthworm burrows through the earth.

Mbe quickly cut some ropes(udo) and wove an ete used for climbing palm trees.
He climbed the tree and cut down the palm head.
Climbing down, he looked for the palm and could not find it. Mbe noticed a small hole and climbed into it to see whether the palm head rolled into it.

The hole led into a tunnel and Mbe contnued to follow it saying that if the mouth did not finish what it is chewing, the jaws cannot rest.

He contnued until he reached a wide cavern and saw a group of ndi mmuo feasting on his palm head.
Without fear, Mbe howled at ndi mmuo to let go of his palm head as there is famine in the land of human beings.

But the leader of the ndi mmuo told Mbe that they love palm nuts. To compensate him, they gave him a magical drum which when beaten, all manner flows out. They told him not to wash it with water or the magic will spoiul.
Mbe tried his hands on the drum and all manner of food flowed out. Name it, pounded yam and ofe nsala, akpu and ofe egusi . Mbe ate to his full and ran home with the drum.
Reaching his house, he let out a torrent of beats and food just flowed. His family just descended on the pile and ate to their fill.
Mbe sent for all the animals,beat the drum and there was food everywhere. They ate and ate and called Mbe Chief. .
So on a daily basis, Mbe gathers the animals and fed them.
It happened that Mbe went on a journey and anim, his wife invited her friends, brought out the drum and beat it. Food rolled out and they ate to theri fill.
She used water to wash off her finger prints.
When Mbe came back, he beat the drum but no food came out. He enqiured and foound out what happened.

The next day, Mbe set out to the place where he saw the palm tree. He looked around but there was no fresh fruit only a dry palm nut which he took and threw inside the hole.
Mbe went after the nut and reached the meeting place of ndi mmuo. They told Mbe that they did not see any nut.they serached and saw a dry nut wchic they said they did not need.
Mbe insisted on a replacement of thye drum. They gave him a new drum and on getting out, he gave a few taps. Swarms of bees flew out and he retreated into his shell.
Gettinghome, he invited the animals as usualo and they gathered.
Mbe said that the new drum is special and needed a special strong hand to beat it. The elephant voluntered and gave sveral loud thuds on the drum. swarms of bees flew out and stung the animals silly. they took off in all directions.but Mbe retreated into his shell.
After some time, Mbe brought his head to see if the bees had dispersed. The animals who by time had returned gave him a hard knock on the head. From that day, Mbe had to hide in shell when ever another animal is around.

Mbe nwa aniga,ojebe ojesu.

Continuation of my  Mbediogu stories.

When Chukwu saw that Mbe was making good use of the wisdom he gave him, He decided to give him more tasks to perform.
He then gave him an oke okpa(cock)  and nnekwu(hen) asking him to bring the oke okpa back when it lays eggs and hatches them. in infact, the oke okpa was given to Mbe on lease.chukwu also asked him to bring back the hen when it begins to crow.
Mbe looked at Chukwu and sighed in his heart that the taste of wisdom is in the execution of assigned duties.
He went home with the chicken and made a good meal of them.
After some time, Chukwu asked Mbe of the welfare of the fowls and when he will be expecting them back.
One day, Mbe came to the market square and started weeping profusely. Passers-by and traders in the market started asking him, mbe,nwa aniga, what ails you.? He replied that his father just died while giving birth and his mother was killed at the war front by enemies.
Chukwu on hearing this screamed at Mbe asking him whether men give birth or women go to war?
Mbe replied and asked Chukwu whether oke Okp-a lays eggs and hatches them, whether hens crow.
Hanging his head in pride, He named himself, Ojebe ojesu.

Mbediogu stories. ah sweet memories of Chidozie Ogbalu.
Now my Mbediogu stories!!!
Once upon a time in times past. when the world was still in infancy, with footpaths under the ukwa trees while elu ka bu ala osa. Then, the lizards were still moving in twos and threes.

Mbe nwa aniga went to pay Chukwu okike a visit. When Chukwu saw him, he asked Mbe of his welfare. Since he is the creator, he decided to test his wisdom.
Chukwu brought a wooden tray used to serve kola nuts and placed stones in them and handed to Mbe to bless and break kola as tradition demands.
Mbe looked at the stones on the tray and said in his heart, nwanyi choba  nwunyi di ya okwu  o si ya nye ya mmanu ka o we ta akwu osukwu.( no translation. learn igbo)
Mbe said that today wit must match wit. So he went and prepared a big pad the type used in carrying heavy loads and asked Chukwu to help him place the ground on his(Mbe) head. Chukwu screamed at Mbe and asked him whether the ground is a load that should be carried. Mbe then retorted whether stones are kola nuts to broken adding, that he is mbe nwa aniga, ojebe ojesu.
Chukwu decided to up the ante and gave Mbe money to help him buy palm wine and bring in four market days. He instructed Mbe not to come in the morning, afternoon or night. He also told him that the palm wine must not be placed in an earthen pot or calabash (mbele) the two containers used for palm those days and the container must not be full or half. To make matters worse, He told him not to come through road, bush path or the river neither should he come through the forest.
Mbe nodded his head and went ahead to perform the tasks.
He paid the palm wine and placed it in a mortar used for pounding foofoo. He went through a path created by flood water and arrived at Chukwu's palace at the dawning of a new day.
Chukwu on seeing Mbe reminded him that he told Mbe not to come in the morning, evening or night. Mbe retorted that it is only the dawning of a new day and can not count as morning, day or night.
Chukwu asked Mbe whether he passed through road, forest or river, Mbe replied that he passed through the paths created by water. When questioned on the container, Mbe said that it is not any of the banned containers but a pounding mortar that was used. Chukwu then queried Mbe that he said the container should not be full or half year.
of course, Mbe tilted the mortar, one part became full while one part become half full and then asked Chukwu whether the mortar was full or half.

With the way things are going, leaving children of both sexes with either male or female home lesson teachers is risky. even leaving them in the care of so-called cousins and aunties is almost the same thing. parents must find a way of seeing that their kids are cared for more closely.
