Religion / Re: HELP: Series Of Demonic Attacks by Ola17: 8:55am On Dec 26, 2021
DemonicAttack
Yours is a classic case of sleep paralysis as a poster pointed out earlier on. Research on it to know why it happens and how to cure it.
Sleep paralysis is a complete natural thing that happens to millions of people world over. Anyone telling you that it’s something else is still living in the Bronze Age.

Be wise.

The op is correct.
Most of the fraud going on in Pentecost churches today originated from Benson Idahosa. He introduced brazen commercialization of Christianity and fake miracles.

There are a few things one needs to take note off while dealing with this case. The process of their breakthrough and the information passed out to others regarding it. Without a doubt, the use of fertility drugs was at play and not necessarily IVF. Witholding this information can delay millions of others recieving the very same breakthrough they themselves got. Most churches would not allow those giving testimonies to disclose this part when they climb a pulpit to share of what has happened (I work for churches at the highest levels on earth). A few churhces have banned people who refused to altar their story from testifying on their pulpits. There is absolutely nothing wrong with IVF and Fertility drugs and getting a child via that route does not deny God of his workings in a life. It doesn't also make those who had kids via this route of less faith in God. Let's tell the truth at all times and not twist narratives. God has already made a way. To those who are saying IVF doesn't always work, to paraphrase the counter argument would be to say that minus IVF, almost all of these families would never have had a child. Give honour to whom it is due, which is the medical field which worked via the knowledge given to them by God to achieve such results.



Unfortunately most churches in Nigeria thrive on the ignorance of their members.

You’ve got to be my favorite Christian on this forum.

Most of your brethren in faith on this forum are given to so much dishonesty, doublespeak and lack critical reasoning skills that I’m tempted to conclude that those traits are the hallmarks of their belief system .

I think we're almost at the point meeting each other at the middle with our views. You can get a particular commodity which gives you value for a price but it not necessarily at a price which reflects the true value. The iPhone took the world by storm and offered features second to none as at when it first came out, the iPhone 6 is the best selling phone (if I'm not wrong). Many people have stayed loyal since as it offers the best possible features in a phone but also cus of the feeling of exclusivity. Many people want to be different from others, apart from the crowd, hence the rush for it whether they can afford it or not. Can you mention up to 3 features on the lastest iPhone that isn't on a less priced premium Android? One gives you value for money, the other gives you value but at a price greater than value offered.

iPhones are premium smartphones not because of just features. iPhones are “expensive” because they generally last longer than their Android counterparts, are made of better materials and are more secure.

I wonder why people consider iPhone as expensive when the base model of Samsung S20 goes for $999 and some goes for up to $1300! Haba.

It’s obvious you guys didn’t watch the video. Come on, it is just 0.57 minutes! Lol.

Take away the power of fear and 98.689% of Nigerian churches will close shop. A staggering majority of the population are poor and gullible people who are trying to make sense of their situation. So when you tell them that that bird, rat or roaches roaming their environment is the reason they’re getting the short end of the stick in the society, they will believe you without question. It’s a sorry situation.

Let police conclude their investigation first.

The mother of the baby waited for the baby to die before raising alarm and why did the woman take the baby from it's mother and when the mother refused to breastfeed while did she not report to the police or raise alarm

Seems you didn’t watch the video.

According to the woman and her husband, the girl left immediately after delivery that she want to go and write exams even after they protested against such.

The man and wife claimed that they reported the matter to the DPO of a police station and they were looking for the girl.

Hopefully the truth will come out.

[s]listen mr man
In life those who gives always get more than those that receive


A baby Christian will always ask or receive from God

But a fully matured Christian will always give to God because that is where the real blessings come from


Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.



Now let's me use a very short story to end this discussion finnaly.

A rich father had two sons, the first son keep asking the father for everything he needs but when his father ask him to give him some of the money he has so that the father could pay some bills in the house, immediately the first son will come up with an excuse telling his father that he want to use the money to help the needy eventho the money the father was asking of was small compare to how much was in the first son bank account.

Now this rich father second son has a diffrent mindset from the first son because when the rich father ask for money to pay for bills in the house, this second son will immediately jump at the opportunity to please the father by paying the bills in the house.



Now ask yourself if you are that rich father, if those your two sons come to you again to ask for money, who will you bless next time ?


Look this is the same principle that God functions on and this is the same principle God has placed on earth.



Look at davido the musician, if he didn't give to people before now, no body will have contributed a dime to his birthday


Look at obi cubbuna, if he didn't give people in the past, nobody will have honour him in his mother buiral ceremony


Look at your career, if you didn't give time to your academics, you wouldn't have graduated with a good result


If abraham didnt give isaac, the promise wouldn't have come

If solomon didn't give 1000 burnt offerings to God, he wouldn't have become the wisest and richest man in the world


Look at God Himself, if God didn't give His only begotten son, Mankind wouldnt have been saved from sin



The main reason for tithing has alwasy hinged on giving, and they cannot be any giving without loving.


That's why it's hard for someone like you to give God 10k but you will give your girlfriend 50k, why? Because you love your girlfriend more than God.



2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.


So you see you are the gullible one here becaue the kingdom of darkness has covered your heart from knowing the truth about God, that's why you think paying tithe means giving to man but the truth is paying tithe is to God. But you are suppose to give it to a messagener of God so that he can use the money to take care of himself, his family and as well the church in general.




I will conclude it this way if you still feel like to derail this thread but asking me ridiculous questions, I will not answer you again untill you declare Jesus to be your personal Lord and saviour because if you dont believe in Jesus, then there is no point preaching tithe to you. Thank you and have a nice day smiley[/s]

Nonsense!

I ask again, don’t your conscience prick you sometimes for tricking people out of their resources for your own self aggrandizement? You sound like a smart person, why not seek for other means of income instead of this ignoble easy route of fleecing the weak in the name of god? Why sell false hope to the downtrodden?

Four out of ten richest pastors in the world are from Nigeria, but look at how rotten your society is. The poverty capital of the world. Haven’t you people taken enough from your own people? Why not tell your people the truth that the only way to a comfortable life and the prosperity of the society in general is through human effort such as education, innovation, hardwork etc? Why con them out of their resources in the name of tithe, promising them bogus blessings and paradise while you feather your own nests here on earth? Why deceive them with fake miracles but when you are sick, you go for the best medical treatment?

You mentioned Davido and Obi Cubana, did they became great by paying tithe to fraudsters? One is a successful secular musician while the other is accomplished in the hospitality industry. What services are you providing to people that entitles you to 10% of their money?!

I'm particularly concerned about iPhone 6, one of my sister is using it and she's still using WhatsApp on it. I want to know if other phone brand are also using it. Maybe WhatsApp have blocked them.

WhatsApp will cut support for iPhones running iOS 9 and earlier versions. iPhone 6 supports iOS 12. Even iPhone 5 will still run WhatsApp for the foreseeable future.

Do you also represent the opinion of the 1billion iPhone users then? Cus you're just one person. I also bought a Pixel2xl and when I sold it earlier this year, I got over 70% back. Premium Samsung phones also have a good resale value, so that's not even an issue. My advise to you and other iPhone users ; there are far better Androids out there than the shit Tecno and Infinix serves us here, get updated.

Of course not! But iPhone wouldn’t have over a billion users if it doesn’t offer value for money. You see the logic?

If God is as powerful as we believe it to be, he doesn’t need a mortal like me to pass a message to me does he? God, if it exists, didn’t send anybody and a god that needs 10% of my money to bless me is nothing but a pure scam!

Come to think of it, what’s the difference between tithing/offering for blessing and the lottery format that yahoo boys use? Yahoo boys will tell you that you won $1million, but you have to send them $1000 in advance in order to claim the money. God that supposedly created everything compared to my infinitesimal resources doesn’t need my money.

I would give you 2 names, prolly the biggest names in that area of things who both use the iPhone as their daily driver and they've echoed the same sentiment. iPhone gives premium features and services but are usually overpriced.

So we should conclude from the opinion of just two people out of over 1 billion iPhone users? I for example have been using the same phone I bought over three years ago without issues. If I decide to sell, I can recover up to 50% of the money I spent to buy it.

If we are to talk about overpriced phones, that should be Samsung that sells overpriced piece of plastic to its customers and their phones don’t have secondhand value at all.

If 20 members earning 1000 each monthly gives their pastor 10% of their sweat, the pastor will make 2000 monthly while his sheeples will be left with 900. Multiply that by 2000 members and the con artist will be making 200,000 monthly while the 2000 suckers will still be left with 900 each. We’ve not taken offering, thanksgiving, first fruit, faith seed, testimony offering, building donations and other money spinning formats into account o grin

You know, many people who aren’t tech savvy usually fall for the monstrous specs Android phones makers advertise that hardly translate into real world performance. You will see something like;
17 trillion megapixels 50 rear camera, 99 gazillion core processor with 3 terabytes of RAM etc but an iPhone of modest advertised specs will blow those devices’ performance out of the water. Have you wondered why an iPhone X of 12 megapixel camera snaps a more decent shots than many Androids of 120 megapixel camera?

Nah bruh. Value for what?? Everything you've noted is arguable but not this one. The iPhones are always always overpriced. They offer premium features but not worth $1000 especially these ones in recent years that are just recycled year after year. Dope phone but never value for money, and if you think I'm spewing nonsense, go on YouTube to watch review videos.

Opinion of few YouTubers that are probably paid by competitors or trying to get the attention of Apple doesn’t negate the fact held by majority of users that iPhones offer value for money spent. The huge market and high resale price of used iPhones should give you a clue.

The brand wouldn’t have been so successful with a substantial market share if their products aren’t valuable.
