Frontpage ? huh

When I talk now, it will look as if one takes glory in criticising a 'man of God'. Just look what a one that says he is a man of God is saying.

Dollar is on the rise
Kerosene is on the run
Christians are on the run in their own country
Rice is hot cake
Government is not helping out
Economy is nosediving exponentially

Etc.

And the only thing a man of God has to say is that people should pay their tithe.

No single message of hope. No atom of consolation. No tip for the government. People are dying , loosing their job, because of A catastrophic economy.

Where will the tithe money come from? Should people die because they don't want to rob God?
Smh!

ATTENTION TO ALL CHRISTIANS

1.TITHE is not compulsory. Never allow any man deceive you. If you want to pay, it is also wonderful.
But you MUST not pay to a pastor.

Deut 26:12

KJV:When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;

Deut 14:29

KJV:And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and he stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest


They will only tell you about MALACHI 3:9-10

KJV:Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
10
KJV:Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Be careful let no man deceive you.

Meanwhile please kindly inform Pastor Adeboye to respond to my open letter.

Corn99:
I think u need to get what d Bible is trying to pass across right as regarding u marrying an unbeliever
1st please i'll advise u to read the book of first Corinthians cos d Bible is totally against that

Folks like you worth not my attention. No need.

AlPeter:
oga, you have your 1minute of fame already, abi. Seriously, a little thought would have been proper before making this post. Firstlt, why will he need to publicly condemn when he can quietly walk up to the VP and President to air is views and accelerate proceedings in the right direction. Do you know how influential he is? Public condemnation can easily be twisted to mean something else by these our hungry bloggers. Secondly, on the marriage issue he made a statement, an advice t bachelors and spinsters members of HIS CONGREGATION, what is misplacement of priority there? is he not supposed to be concerned about the general well being of his congregation? In every organization or team there is division of labour, a goalkeeper has is duties, so those a striker. Pastor Adeboye's advise is a very good one before any man should marry have a source of regular income no matter how small. Learn to take care of your responsibility. And for the Ladies when your kids are growing who do you expect to cook for them? The guy? Remember everybody have his or her rules and by default no matter how good at cooking a guy is he will always look for easy meals its just how we are wired.
I believe in treating a lady with respect but stop this silly senseless emotion driven feminism.

No. Public condemnation comes first before what ever is done behind. Why is telling us who to marry publicly while he cant condemn an evil publicly. Whethe you want to believe it or not, not condemning it publicly is simply being sympathetic to the government, especially as his colleague is the second in command. That is just the simple truth. Take it or leave it.

2BB4CB3E:
i really want to slap this op

By saying it, you have done it already. So can you now explain to the public why you slapped the op?

eph12:
OK I understand now. But I fail to see what good that would do. The vice president is a redeem pastor so he has the ears of baba any day any time. The imam in question already regrets his action, also those guys that killed the woman. The lion does not have to roar before the prey becomes afraid of him. Am sure the government must have assured him of thorough investigation and others so why should he still speak on the matter? To give strength to fellow Christians? I don't understand.

You are utterly contradicting yourself. How can you say you understand and still say: "I FAIL TO SEE WHAT GOOD THAT WOULD DO" .If you can't see the good, I am seeing it.

Note: I have not particularised any particular incidence. There are multiple incidences.

eph12:
There is no truth in what you are saying not to now talk of bitter or sweet. And for the record I haven't stepped foot on any redeem Church for over a year now.
Stop being short sighted and dancing to the tune of people that lack understanding. That is a characteristic of a great leader. What will Adeboye achieve if he comes on air to threaten the government, the Muslims and everybody? What? You will only give room for problems. He may say just one thing and some overzealous person somewhere can decide to take it further. At the end people like you will dig up his comments and point at it as the cause of this man's action. Forget it, you haven't convinced any peace loving person the importance of Adeboye speaking on air on the matter in the way you want him to as the way forward.

My dear, you are missing the point. Did I hear you say THREATEN? I did not say so. I have not insinuated so. I only demand a PUBLIC CONDEMNATION OF THE ACT.

Do you understand now?

Lalasticlala, Seen, Mynd44, giving this post a wider coverage can go a long way in correcting some anomalies. Let us wake our religious leaders(both Islam and Christian) from sleep. They need to protect the lives of their followers through their messages, and not otherwise.
Thanks in anticipation

felixlovu:
U wrote wat u think.but must time u think better b4 u say something out,talkless of posting for d world to read.are u saying pastor adeboye should use s influence of d VP to fight d government.in ur bible u know how JESUS was crucified and how all his disciples were humilated.are u telling me dat there was nobody to fight d govt then.GOD knows best about dat woman.and wit dis am starting to think u can never do wat dis woman did.and most houses and ministries hav been destroyed by woman.human being is d most difficult creature u can change,so dnt b rest assured u can change someone as easy as dat

What is this one saying? So telling the government to rise up to their responsibility is now fighting against govt?

If father Mbaka can dissipate the amount of criticism he howled at GEJ-led government on this govt, Nigeria would have been a step better now. Even when his state, Enugu is direct a victim. But let's leave that for another day

TheFreeOne:
Christian leaders have been found wanting in taking necessary actions against the evil gradually pervading the land as seen from recent killings. It is unfortunate that some in their myopic mindset thought if they take govt to task it's will be akin to seeking vengeance and courting religious crisis but they failed to realise that its their lukewarm attitude that will eventually engender a far reaching religious war if not checked.

So why wait on the creator what you have capacity to put a stop to evil by speaking truth to power so that govt we do the needful? But antecedents of christian religious leaders have shown they care for earthly positions / power than the people they claimed to lead which makes majority of them wolves in sheepskin.

So challenging the govt to ensure lives citizens are protected is not same as fighting for God as some simpletons are made to believe.

Life is a gift that must be protected and HEAVEN HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES.

You nailed it brother. The thing baffles me. How can speaking out against evil be interpreted as seeking vengeance.
And yet some followers still find nothing wrong somewhere. It is a pity!

I think some people are not yet seeing from my own perspective. Just try and kill a single Moslem in the south here, and watch how the Emirs and the Sultans will shout as if their generation depend on the person.

But when Christians are the case, we all keep quiet an accept it as a norm. Those that will talk are only good at predicting who will win and who will loose. That is really unfortunate.

This is a wake up call to all so-called pastors and Christian religious leaders to always PUBLICLY CONDEMN EVIL. It helps in restoring sanity.

coolscott:
[size=13pt]As Christians, we must forgive[/size]

And if we should forgive, we should not condemn?

They should go on killing us and we keep on forgiving without condemning their actions? Is that your stand

johnwizey:
Adeboye ain't forcing you lots to accept his teachings, so whats the noise about? Weather u marry a girl that can cook or not is your biz nt his, you will be at the receiving end not him.

Good. Noted. What do you have to say about his "indifference" in the major issue of concern? Talking about the murder of Christians.

smarthG:
Lovely write up. Well calculated. People especially men of God are turning their eyes off from what is happening in the government of this Nation.

About marriage, God gives the direction.

If. All these pastors believe that by faith, the lot of this Nation can be changed, even when it is in th hand of the enemy, then a wife can as well be changed by faith when Love is there.

Real misplacement of priority.

Idahosa you remain a hero to penticostals.

Thank you for seeing what I am seeing. I will receive attacks from RCCg members. But no p.

eph12:
I believe he was talking to a set of people. He wouldn't say the same thing if he was addressing you. You don't need a prayerful wife but his people do. It doesn't make them better than you or you better than them. You don't need a wife that can cook but he has identified that as an important part when considering a wife. In summary the message was not for you so move on.
I don't know why you are angry he didn't insult the government on the because of the murder of that woman. What good would that achieve? OKso because he didn't call for the heads of those people you think he is dumb? Do you know the meetings held behind the scene?
No sense at all.

No sense at all?? In deed. Well, if you read my post again, you will understand if at all you have the capacity that I respected his opinion on the marriage saga.
So my own opinion also stands for me. #peace.

On the other hand, if there are medtings held behind the scene, then let us know. People are been killed within the scene and you are meeting behind the scene. SMh.Those that are killing people are they part of the meeting behind the scene. Sorry if you are an RCCG member, but just accept this simple truth, its bitter I know, but I have no option.

Let us call a spade a spade. Let all the "big" pastors in Nigeria come out and condemn it publicly. Is that too much to ask for? Let them tell the government her sins. Is there anything too difficult in it? Christians are being killed and those that suppose to talk are not talking. Rather they are pursuing rat while the house is on fire. Nawaoo!!

TheFreeOne:
Religion breeds dogmatism.....a shackling of human spirit.

It is preposterous for anyone to decide whom others must marry. Even the Almighty never denies humans freewill cos that's makes us unfolds our 'talents' to learn, develop, mature, become better in earthly and spiritual pursuits.

On point. But throw more lights on your about the stand if Christian stalwarts on the current issue of the injustices meted out on Christians in Nigeria. How do you rate their actions/inactions?

I was at the point of garnering momentum to make this compilation before I saw Pastor (Daddy) Adeboye's stand on the injustices meted out on Nigerian Christians recently. According to him: "I will not seek vengeance", making reference to the Christian lady killed my some Moslem youths. After some thoughts over his assertion, I declined a little, even though his opinion was to a great extent unsatisfactory, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED.

But, my zeal to pencil down my grievances was rejuvenated after I entered online this evening to get myself acquainted with the day's infos and was accosted again by the marriage saga by Daddy Adeboye. Thus, the reason for this piece.

Before I go on, i thought it pertinent enough to introduce myself, that you may be cognisant of my biases, if any, sir. I am a young Nigerian Christian.

Sir, it is with deep sense of displeasure and grill that I write this. Recently, the amount of injustices that was doled out to Nigerian Christians were disheartening. From the killing of a lady in kano and Abuja to burning of a Christian worship centre(catholic church) by "some people" for using it on a Friday meant for Muslims, to mention but a few. The government of the day did little or nothing about these. It was not a surprise. If for no other thing sir, I expected you sir, and our vice president to condemn these barbaric acts and follow the case till a logical and impressing conclusion that will be at least consoling to the teeming Christians out there. But it was unfortunate sir, that the cases have been buried and forgotten, JUST LIKE THAT; only for you to tell us that you will not seek revenge.

Sir, You must not seek the revenge before God must act. Nobody is a personal assistant to Jesus Christ, and nobody is a sole harbinger of the Holy Ghost. If God wants to act, the revenge which Christians all over (including me) have sought is more than enough to spur him to action. All we needed from you was to at least hold the government of the day on its toes through the instrumentality of your junior colleague (the second in command of the federal republic) and make sure that justice prevailed in ITS FULLEST. That is what we needed from you sir. Tell the government her sins. That is the work of a man of God, sir; which every other citizen may not afford. As for the vengeance seeking, we can do that ourselves.

On the "who to marry and who not to marry" saga: That was actually the reason for the title of this letter - Misplacement of priorities. We need to have justice first, before we talk of marriage. However, you have made your opinion as an ordained man of God. You spoke from a spiritual angle. And you may not be too wrong, sir. In my own humble opinion sir, as a little boy of God, I also think I can marry a lady who suits all my taste but may not be able to pray up to an hour; and teach her how to do that. I can actually marry a pagan and make her a pastoress in one year. It all depends on who one is, and what one and what one wants to accomplish. Man is a bundle of possibilities.

Thank you sir, and I wish you more of God's grace in Christendom. You have already won thousands of souls for God. May your reward never elude you, amen.

#Godthankyouformakingmeaman

Goodmorning, it is me, Oga Innocent, the driver on the wheels. Behold the volume 2 of “How to make your marriage last”.

Remember how we intended to do it. We are still on the “Things to DO (THE DO’s) to make your marriage last as a woman”. We were discussing the DO’s under three projections:

1. LOYALTY
2. SUPPORT
3. $EX

We are already done with LOYALTY, if you missed it, check it out here:
HOW TO MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE LAST –VOL.1 (LOYALTY)
https://www.nairaland.com/3201304/how-make-marriage-last-vol.1

Now without taking much of our time, let us attack the topic of today:

HOW TO MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE LAST – VOL. 2 (SUPPORT)
As a woman, the most striking reason of your existence as a wife to a man is the status quo – support. Remember the reason God created woman ab initio. Remember woman was not in the programme of events during the creation. The creation of woman was circumstantial. And what was the circumstance that led to the creation of one of the most important creatures of God? He needs a helpmate. That was the clause that changed the programme of events – He needs a helpmate.

Many marriages are becoming boring because the woman has deviated from the position of being a helpmate to the position of being “a helped mate”. Others want their husbands to be their helpmate. It is not the way. That way that seemeth right to you are the ways of death (Prov. 14:12). Listen to the way:

As a wife, support your husband. Check, is he psychologically down because of one investment that is about to crumble, be a psychologist. Calm him down. Is he medically unfit, do not send the maid or nanny to go and stay with him in the hospital because you are working in the bank. You were created to be a helpmate, not a banker. Is he physically weak, massage him. Is he hungry, then be ashamed of yourself. Is he financially down, you can actually pay Chiboy’s school fees at least for that term.

Your husband must not provide the money for food before he eats. Do not tell him there is no food in the house simply because he left without dropping some dough.
He is back from work, weak and stressed out, help him out with the ropes of his shoes; help him remove the heavy suit, put out the water for shower; is he tired to go to the bathroom, lead him there; he cannot even bath himself, then bath him.
We are talking of support here. Support your husband in all ramifications, and enjoy your marriage. Most of the things I say here, are meant to be practical. I do not believe in theoretical pronouncements that will end up just entertaining the reader. That is why I tell you the things to do and how to do explicitly without hiding or mincing words. So if you are a wife or a potential wife, apply the few tips above and give us feedback if it worked so that others (our Thomases) will see and believe or if it did not work so that we change our tempo and strategy. Seeing your marriage last is my concern.

It is so pathetic on the extent that our ladies go these days. Imagine fighting publicly because of one man. According to the reader that sent in the story, the two ladies were being dated by one man before this happened when they both found out. This video is simply funny but could not bring it on because the size; and NL rules.
One is named Thelma while the other is Victoria as.
It is simply pitiful. smh

Tithe is not compulsorily. Don't be deceived. If wanna pay , fine its also good. But its not compulsory.

On where to pay it: read Deut 26:12

You must not give it to your pastor . use it on th less privilege that they may eat from you and be satisfied.

Read Deut 26:12

This still remains like a mirage to me.
What is the difference between EFCC AND ICPC?

EFCC say its for ECONOMIC and FINANCIAL crimes only.

ICPC says its for CORRUPT PRACTICES AND OTHER RELATED OFFENCES.

MEANING: All functions of efcc are functions of icpc but not all functions of icpc are functions of efcc.

Secondly ICPC is independent while EFCC is an arm of the executive.

Nigerians pls, is this not a mere duplication?

Sorry for d late response guys. Currently travelled to d village, and my villa knows no electric pole

About the transaction modalities, you can get a popular blogger who both of us can trust, u send d money to him, I transfer d acct to him, once he confirms both, he gives me my money and give u d acct.
NB: if d middle man require pay, you only shall see to that.

However, we can still transact if u can trust because, some good persons still exist.

Part 2 promises to be powerful and impactful

I will discuss this topic on two different grounds:
1. The things to do ( The Do’s)
2. The things not to do (The DON’T’s)

THE THINGS TO DO TO MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE LAST (THE DO’s)
The DO’s of marriage can still be categorized into
1. The DO’s for the man and
2. The DO’s for the woman.
I will start with the woman first.

THINGS TO DO AS a WOMAN TO MAKE YOUR MARRIAGE LAST (THE DO’S OF MARRIAGE)
It is very simple. There are three things to do to your man and your marriage will become like the land of cannan (the land that flows with milk and honey). Three things that a man needs are:
1. Loyalty (Respect, Adoration, Humility)
2. Support
3. Sex
Loyalty: One thing which is inherent in man is his ego. Every man loves his ego even more than money. This is what you as a woman or wife should try and preserve. In fact, in the scale of preference of a man, the first is his ego, the second is money, and woman is just the third. Every man needs a loyal wife. You can call it loyalty, you can call it respect, adoration, or humility; we are all saying the same thing in a different way. Adore a man and watch him give you his empire. Have you ever tried kneeling to greet you husband every morning?
O yes! When I say loyalty, I do not mean just “good morning sir”. Every other woman calls him “sir” out there. You need to make a difference. Can you try greeting your husband on your knees? Have you tried it? How does it look like? Give it a trial and watch him treat you like an egg. Give him that maximum loyalty and watch him give you his empire. But, disrespect him and watch him treat you like a towel. That is how a man functions. The choice is yours!

Do not tell me we are not in 19th century where women kneel to greet their husbands; because that is exactly the bane of most marriages today. Many women have relegated their place and want the place of the man; and the man wants to retain his place, thus there is a struggle; and that is where the problem now starts. Many women want to be the commander of the house. They want every of their words and wishes to be carried out, because after all the bible said “the two shall become one”. Therefore, they are one. The house belongs to us. Anybody that wakes up first should enter the kitchen. Anyone that wakes last should dress the bed. Anybody that wakes first should get the kids ready for school. Anybody that comes back first from work first, should prepare the dinner. hmmmm

Mind you, you are never one with you husband. Do not misinterpret the bible. Your husband is your superior. He is higher than you. That was God’s punishment to woman in Genesis 3:16

“I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shall bring forth children, and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and HE SHALL RULE OVER YOU”.

Do you get that? When you hear that “the two shall become one”, it means that both of you shall be in concord. That is, both you shall be agreeable, and shall function as a unit. God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are one, but are they equal? The answer is NO. Jesus (God the Son) while on earth has always adored, respected, and given all the glory to God the Father, who is supreme. In the same way, adore your husband O’wife! Adore your man O’woman!
