Thanks for the replies

[quote author=acidosis™]ma'am you are funny. . .
Lmao @ ki lo mu tommy wa?

LOL. I was so embarrased when I found out what it meant



since they are ready to adjust the pattern of service, I'll advise you stay with your husband.. God needs you to stay with him in ministry..not just in the house [/quote]Thanks but I'll still go to MFM in the mornings

Ptolomeus: I do not know what is worse...........or your English.

I agree It was quite difficult to decipher

[quote author=acidosis™]Sorry to bring this in, your name sounds somehow. . ."omo alata" Do you know the meaning?

But whats the opinion of your husband?[/quote] The Ghanaians call Nigerians Mama alata or Mami alata to be precise so I thought it meant Nigerians or pepper seller . It was last year or so on Nairaland here that a lady told me it meant a bush girl but I had already chosen the username. Told you my yoruba is poor

I went to a church when I was younger and they were singing, "Kilo mu tomi wa?" I thought it meant, What brought Tommy here? (you know, a boy named Tommy?) I kept on wondering why Tommy? Why not Peter or Paul? Kilo mu Peter wa? LOL

My husband is not happy. He wants all of us to go the same church as a family and he will not leave his Ghanaian church

[quote author=T_Bademosi]Just saying; Is there anyones name in the book of life atall?.[/quote]I'm hoping my name's in there

miomonio: @ Omo Alata. Etise!. Is that all? Charlie, abeggy go learn Ghana jor. Nante yiyie

Yoruba is my 2nd language (English is my first) and I find it difficult to pronounce all the words in yoruba language, my mother-tongue and you want me to go and learn Twi

[quote author=acidosis™]@mrs "omo alata"
I'll advice you attend MFM. There is no point going to a Ghanian church. It doesn't make sense.[/quote]If my husband wasn't training to be a pastor there, it wouldn't have been a dilemma

Hello everybody

Can y'all help me please with this dilemma. We attend a church together as a family i.e. me, hubby and the kids. I'll call this church WCC International Church Anyway, my husband is a Ghanaian. The church we attend is a predominantly Ghanaian-attending church (in London). The church was founded in Ghana . They sing, pray, preach, give their testimonies, everything in the Ghanaian language. We sit there like dummies. My older kids (teenagers) have stopped attending as "we don't hear what they are saying". I saw it as a 'day out on Sundays' My husband loves the church and has recently started training there as a Pastor (he has started preaching - in the Ghanaian language) . It's a 40mins drive from our house.

Since April, I started attending Mountain of Fire church. It's a 10min drive away. I understand everything going on and can participate fully in the church. My teenagers attend some Sundays and they are able to participate. I've even joined the prayer warriors. Since I started MFM, my prayer life has changed. I now study the word daily. I yearn to be in the church (we have service this evening and I can't wait )

MFM service finishes at 12 noon. WCC International starts at 2p.m so some Sundays, after MFM, I drive down to WCC and attend the service but lately, I can't be bothered to go. About a month ago, I went there and the members afterwards told me off "how can a pastor's wife not attend every Sunday?". I told them the truth. "I don't attend because I don't hear what you are saying. You even give your testimonies in your language. You do your praise & worship in your language. You don't want 'foreigners' in your church. I can't waste my time every Sunday for nothing". Any 'foreigner' we get, eventually leave due to the language barrier. They promised to change.

Whenever I am in WCC now, they fall over themselves. A brother will take the microphone and proceed to speak in their language and someone will look at me and hastily tell them to speak English It doesn't come natural to them. I feel they secretly resent me for not allowing them to enjoy themselves.

Would it be proper for me to leave a church where my husband is a pastor? Or should I continue going once a while? Or what do you think?

Sorry this is long

inurmind: Isn't it the same christianity.
Wait u guys are confusing me now, and maybe urselves.

That's what I thought but my friend made me see it differently. She was born a Catholic and converted to Islam. One day, during a conversation, I told her that she was a Christian who became a Moslem. She said, "Point of correction. I was not a Christian, I was a Catholic". I've been confused ever since

Which polytechnic

And what is with the kissing of the black stone

inurmind: What exactly do you see and dismiss in other religions

I think the "Women covering themselves from head to toe" religion is nonsense

inurmind: What exactly do you see and dismiss in other religions

I think the "Women are inferior to men" religion is shocking

inurmind: What exactly do you see and dismiss

I think the 7 virgins in paradise teaching is nonsense

inurmind: What exactly do you see and dismiss in other religions

I think the Mother Mary worship is wrong

tobechi20: Do we sin every day? Is it posible to stay a day witout sin?

I honestly don't know but what do we count as sin? If I shout at the kids to hurry up and rush them out of the door, or rush them to eat, thereby being impatient, is impatience a sin? Sometimes I do wish I could be more patient with the children but then again.......... or when at work, if I engage in conversation with a colleague about another colleague, who isn't present, isn't that a sin - a sin of gossiping (even though it's nothing negative)? Or is gossiping ONLY when it's something negative about the person

When a fellow woman walks past in tight-hugging clothes, thinking she looks da bomb, and I think, "what does she look like? Did she look at the mirror before leaving her house"? Is that a sin? LOL.

You know what I'm saying??

musKeeto: This is the word of El Shalldie, HellOweHim, The Great Eye Am, The One and Only Jealous God..

Thankfully, for your sake, our God is a merciful God. Call Him names, then get on your knees and ask for forgiveness, He'll still forgive. Damn!!

Thank you Jesus for counting me worthy

KDK: The truth is that most churches (deeper life, mfm and RCCG) tend to lower their standards in the uk and US all in the name of being 'more accommodating and tolerant'. You wouldnt blame them cos it is difficult to get christians in these places and to now drive the few you have is not wisdom; So I doubt if the UK branches will follow suit.

We were told the 'law' today in church so we'll see what will happen from next week but I think most of the teenagers who are dragged to church every Sunday by their parents may rebel. You can see that these youths don't want to be in church and to now take away their comfortable wear ........... Anyway, we'll see from next Sunday

Goshen360: MFM in USA, UK etc are they also BANNED FROM WEARING TROUSER? IF NOT, THEN I'M SORRY....IT IS NOT THE GOSPEL.

The tape was played in the MFM London (streatham branch) today. The GO has forbidden the wearing of trousers by female members to church. He has also banned leaving hair uncovered and wearing of jewelery and make-up (the lady next to me actually gasped when she heard no make-up as her entire face was painted ) He said if attachment is added to hair, it must be fully hidden underneath the scarf and mini-skirts will not be allowed. He has also forbidden sleeveless blouses and something he called 'spaghetti'. I don't know which dress this is supposed to be. We eat spaghetti over here lol, not wear it

She was probably on the FBI's Most wanted list and the church was the only place they could nab her

I'm pretty sure he personally does not sit on twitter nor nairaland. He must have someone who checks up on these things and reports the important stuff back to him

Emmyk: It was raised in Philosophy class with so many arguements. Is Man's destiny made by himself (his Labour) or by God? Want a broad knowledge in the afore question please.

I think man's destiny was born with him i.e. he'd been destined to be great etc but along the way, household wickedness snatched the goodness away and replaced it with a copy, then when man draws nearer to God, he can pray and snatch it back from the stronghold of the strongman and be what God wanted him to be but if the man never realises, his destiny has been stolen forever and his life is wasted so whatever he makes, he has strived and laboured to get it i.e. reaching his promised land in 40 years instead of 40 days.

That's my analogy, in short

[quote author=T_Bademosi]Oh... I neva tot about that... What about the 2nd question?.[/quote]I thought it meant as it was written i.e. not a parable. There will be fewer men around so it'll be survival of the fittest. I don't know if the men that will be around that time are lucky or unlucky
