Goshen360: That's your business? I was saying that in respect that I didn't tithe before God blessed me. You guys are the very ones promoting 'tithe before God can bless you' gospel. That's not the God I know and that's not the God I worship - He gives to ALL men liberally without finding fault. He has GIVEN us ALL THINGS that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS. There's no where in the NT that a Christian MUST pay tithe BEFORE GOD blesses us. Stop threatening people with Malachi curse that was meant for the thiefing priest, not the people.

So you are a full time arm robber, you robbed God of a house,car and a floorishing business.

Its so painful that these things are right benet your eyes but you just don't see. I LL advice you better sell all you have and give to the poor or you run down to the church and pay your tithe.

To God be the Glory great things he hath done.

I have been through this road in the last one month. Ore-Benin is actually as good as the op pasted but ore to shagamu and then to Lagos are still what they used to be.

I think their is some kind of arrangement btw the state govt and d federal govt on road construction.
Its possible the state govt does the construction through her contractors while the federal govt refunds the bill.

Most of those jobs are state awarded jobs.

Fesco: I want to thank everyone for your useful contributions to my enquiry. I have been with my firm for like 12yrs now. My office bank with Skye Bank and that compelled them to open staff salary account with them for easy funds transfer.
I can't be using a particular bank for 12yrs and not benefiting from them hence my decision to seek for advice here. |With what you guys have told me, it appears I have a greater chance of getting the loan. I will approach them God willing next month and will inform this Forum of the outcome.



Regards.

First bank has a microfinance subsidiary that does that(give loans). Though, u might need a first bank staff as guarantor.

Not all ultimatums are bad. People use ultimatums to stabilize their relationships most times, especially when the other party cheats or is not serious with the relationship.

alexleo: The scriptures, we are told is written through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and he remains the best interpreter of the word. If we use only our brain we will become atheists. They use their brain to read the bible that's why they keep finding faults. I tell you I have the Holy Spirit to guide me in reading the bible. I have the Holy Spirit to guide me aright after listening to a teaching or sermon. The very day I start using my brain only to read God's word I ll slide into atheism or free thinking(God forbid). I also advice that you keep in mind what you ve said to others so as not to do it toO. I mean you ve told us not to allow men of God to influence us to the point of we saying- my pastor said, my church said. At the same don't also enforce your teachings on people like those men of God you are talking about so as to avoid seeing people that ll be saying, frosbel said, frosbel said. That's how it starts. Thanks.

I don't think Frosbel was referring to using our brains in interpreting scriptures. He quoted 1 cor 1:19. and I believe he understands what's written there.

He knows the holyspirit is the teacher of all things.

Na today ? ?

I don post mi own. Shap shap..

Timzy234: the wukari crises which took place late february had many causes. though ousiders may tell you that it was unexpected, people like us within its vicinity knew it was bound to happen.
since the Ibi criese which took place late last year,, there had been grievances and 'bbeef" between both christains and muslims.. on a fateful saturday, there was a football match at aroun CRCN Church and then an argument resulted into a muslim gunning down a christain teammate. while the fight continued, abou five people were killed on the spot.
As expected, the youths of the town had an all night meeting to know how to salvage the situation.....and mass killings of the muslims was the outcome. early that saturday....the town was up in flames.
Though the reporters never told this, but there was a mass burial of 56 people of whom are both from different religions. the people who are christains in the state have suspected the current deputy governor for inciting both crises which had a space of less than $ months apart.
The Wukari town has been known for its crises as it has never stayed for !0 years without having at least two crises

Good report.
We need people especially eye witness to come and tell us the truth about most crises around their environs. It will really help in decision making and finding a permanent solution to such issues.

Good one..

175: Talking to ur enemy who has killed ur only child and wife does no harm to you right? Well am not suprised at u Musa.

Are you minding those mallams, they've never thought of the repercusion of negotiating with book haram. It will lead to a complete breakdown of law and other.

I tell you this is the, straw that breaks the camels back.

Since the federal govt set up a committe to look into amnesty for their boko dogs, they all have been showering praise for the president. Now he is no more the sponsor, its now foreigners.

We dey watch..

GenBuhari: For a sect supposedly fighting the government how many PDP people have been killed by Boko Haram?

Answer: none!

How many PDP offices or buildings have Boko Haram attacked?


Answer: none!

Sharap joor
only you has all the answers. You know who said what and who didn't, who did this and who did that.

your tym is running out.

Pls dog, take the bone.

So the person of Jesus can be seperated from the word.
Nawa ooh....

That's calculus in poetry

obadiah777: YOU DONT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT VERSE. THE LORD WOULD NOT HOLD ANY SIN AGAINST YOU. THE ONLY SIN THAT WOULD BE HELD AGAINST YOU IS IF YOU BLASPHEME THE HOLY SPIRIT ( MEANING IF YOU REJECT GOD ). SO IF YOU REJECT GOD, THERE IS NO HOPE FOR YOU AT ALL. HOWEVER IF YOU ACCEPT GOD BUT SIN. YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR SIN AND AFTER THAT IT WOULD BE FORGIVEN. AFTER YOU PAY FOR YOUR SIN YOU WILL COME BACK INTO THE FOLD. HOWEVER WITH BLASPHEMY YOU WILL NOT COME BACK INTO THE FOLD

You mean their are some sins the blood of Jesus can not clean? That running to the cross has some limitations?

H
Why seek for forgiveness when you will end up paying for the crime? Even militial amnesty comes with total forgiveness and some good incentives, and that means humans know how to forgive better than God.

Guy, make you park well abeg.

The Islam incredible team got tears rolling down my cheek.
I've never laughed like dis on Nairaland.

Noooo

Any day any time I'll still stand with the word of God as preached by the men of old.

I really fear for young and growing Christians, I really fear.

Suntzung: 0lumide: GEJ's Bottom is about to be blown out in the open! Just wait and see.


ALREADY OPENED! MORE poo COMING OUT !

Oga don't be received, with the level of hatred the northern elite's have towards Gej, if he had any hand in boko haram, THEY WOULD HAVE BLOWN IT OPENED SINCCCCCCEEEEEE.
take it ma bro.

Demdem: When u say they, who are them?
When did the General utter such a statement? Why don't u qoute him verbatim.

I have said it times without number, I watched buhari been interviewed after the election and the reporter asked,
"General how would u take it if it happens that you don't win the election and he replied, if I don't win the election, what ever your eyes (Nigerians) sees you take it like that" he also mentioned once to make Nigeria ungovernable.

maigida231: The man is jus seeking for attention,u hav ur faith and believe y can't others have their own believe and be in peace,if waz d opposite the talk abt anytin in d quran na so so fight dem go dey start for kaduna and other places,christianity is so special that everybody is jus being jealous abt it,shall is nt too late to switch to christianity

leave the Baba make he dey seek attention dey go. Chist and his followers can never be ignored or taken irrelevant. Even sheik sef wan join body.

Bright De Gea: May our Lord Jesus grant u strength for the task ahead

Amen.

They are easy to know.
rather than make effort to win souls unto God, they are more concern in finding fault in the church.

May God save us.

PalmTree: Gentleman, what exactly are you insinuating? You just agreed that you are not sure if it was Gods voice the OP heard through the pastor or not. So you mean there will be a mysterious bus waiting to convey the penniless fellas home? If you wouldn't have questioned any of the prophets you mentioned above, why haven't you emptied your account and credit all your savings to mine after all I told you that I'm also a prophet? Oh, you don't want to be stu pid by sending me your savings but you see nothing wrong with the OP emptying his purse right? Once you stop your hypocrisy, you'll see exactly as other posters

A waste of time.....really lacks understanding.

frosbel: ^^^
False Prophet !!

its name calling now abi?
To you all men of God are false prophets. I've been waiting for you to give us names of real prophets of our days.
Just one would be ok.

PalmTree: My point exactly, how then did you not see anything wrong in what the invited speaker told that congregation including the OP? The OP said they were told to empty their purses! How does he expect the poor fellas to get home? Tell me, are you of the opinion that its not a stupid game? Would you have emptied your purse if you were present? Good Sir, there is no need to mince words, like Goshen rightly said, God wants a cheerful giver not a coerced one. Honestly, I'm perplexed that you find my analogy stu pid since you gave credence to the invited pastor because we basically said the same thing.

your eye dey red gan ni...
Ok, I can't tell exactly whose voice the op heard, either Gods voice through the man of God (his spirit bearing witness) or just the voice of a man holding the mic. if God had spoken through the man of God, then don't ask how he expected them to get home, he knows how to take them home. Its people like you that asked Moses where he was leading them to after the Israelite left Egypt. you would have asked God how he wanted Abraham to survive when he asked him to leave his fathers house.

You would have asked Elijah how he expected the woman at the well to survive after Elijah told her to make the him the last meal she had.

Goshen360: Wrong sir! The Spirit of God doesn't contradict the word he authored. The Spirit of God uses the word to guide and lead us into all truth. The word itself is truth, John 17:17 and Christ said, the Spirit of truth will guide you into ALL truth, John 16:13; what that simply means is that, the Spirit of God will use the word, which is truth to guide you\us. We're not to go against what is written or go beyond what is written for us, especially in the dispensation of the New Testament that we belong. There's a pattern of giving in the scriptures - it must not be of force or of necessity or grudgingly or out of compulsion.

God does not force anyone to give. But he commands it. I don't want to call that compulsion or force or giving out of necessity. But that it is the will of God and that is good enough for me to give to any extent and to any depth.

PalmTree: For starters, not every one who claims to be a pastor is actually one, so to say that one must follow whatever any pastor says hook line and sinker just to show obedience even when like the op, the individual is not convinced, is a fatal error. If I claim to be a pastor and then I demand in God's name that you empty your account and credit all to mine, will you? After all in your own words, you will have obeyed the servant of the Lord (Me). Now if you object to this then its hypocrisy, thus you previous submissions are invalid. Shalom

Christianity is not stupidity, neither does it give room for foolishness.
Thanks bro.

You are misunderstanding my post.

Now, nobody has ever seen God, and none has given to God. He even that which we own was given unto us freely by God. But yet, we give to God daily by giving to others.
Every man of God have spoken and taught from the scripture( the word of God). So they didn't send them selves. They go to the extent of making it clear that when you give you give to God, you should expect a reward. You then in return release physical cash (which is what you have) with the mind that you have released the money for the master. Now what you ha e given to God is that your spirit is submissive to him, there fore bearing withness that you have obeyed. You didn't. Give to the pastor or the church but to God.

It surprises me when someone claims to have given his life to Christ and yet believes his offerings,tithes, seeds gifts which he intends giving to God, he's giving to man.

Goshen360: To test the spirit, you must know and be grounded in the word - one scripture leading to giving MUST not contradict each other PLUS [b]be led by God's Spirit. [/b]That's where the blessings comes to be. I know your spirit is quite against what the man was doing but ONLY God can reward you or not but God I know doesn't reward grumble giving.

Thank God you added the bolded, but u forgot to say the spirit of God in you is the paramount. Even the devil knows and understands the Bible in and out;page by page cover to cover.

Knowing the bible is one, gettig an understanding through the spirit is another and the key Thing.

i believe the young man at that point was carried away by the spirit of God and he gave all he had.
