Hell is the destiny of sinners,unbelivers,and unrighteus. Don't be deceive,some people are now teaching that there is no hell or place of eternal punishment;that it is all a figment of the imagination.Some teach that the sinner make his own hell through the mental anguish he experience as a result of his evildoing.Other teach that there is hell but the people who go there will be burnt up once.While others,still believe that instead of hell,God has prepared a place of temporary punishment,where sinners can have a second chance to repent.None of this has a valid scriptural basis.Both in the Old and the New Testaments,God's word consistently declares that there is a place of fiery and everlasting retribution fo unrighteus.The fearful reality of this place,as well as the pitiable state of all those will end up in it,it clearly revealed in the scripture.Psalms 9:17 says,"The wicked shall be turned into hell,and all the natioes that forget God. HELL WIL NT BE YUR DESTINY IN JESUS NAME.

After salvation, the most important choice you will need to make is who to marry. This choice is so important that if you miss it, you will suffer for long, if you get it right then you will enjoy forever. A bad marriage can affect every other area of your life. This subject is so important, so many married people are hoping to be single again so as to make the right choice. If you are single please don't just be in a hurry to get married, you have the best opportunity to prepare for it. For two people to come together to live in peace and harmony, they must agree spiritually, mentally and physically. Just like an elephant cannot marry an ant so also a believer cannot marry an unbeliever. If an elephant marries an ant how would they live, if a goat marries a fish where would they meet? You must look for a godly man or a godly woman to marry, nothing can beat this. The devil's primary target is the family. He knows that everyone belongs to a family and if he can make two wrong people meet then he has succeeded affecting the community and nations negatively. Ignore your age and the pressure for a moment, the pressure in a wrong marriage is far worse. God has somebody for you but you must set your priorities right. What do you need in a woman? What do you need in a man? Marriage is not about what you want, it is about who you need, that will make you better while you make him better. It is about destiny. That is why you must know your purpose before you get married. (Genesis 2:18.) You must pray before you choose. God knows the best person for you, it is only wise to seek His will. It is very easy to know God's will when sex is not involved. The moment sex is involved and you want to know His will then He will blank you out. Why? Because you have broken His first Law of NO SEX before marriage. If you have had sex in the past then you need to repent totally and stay away from each other for some time then you can seek the face of God. Your marriage will not be hell on earth. Your marriage will be honourable in the name of Jesus Christ. * Don't marry for sex, * Don't marry because you are of age, * Don't marry because you are getting old, * Don't marry because you are lonely, * Don't marry because you need someone to support you financially, * Don't marry because you mistakenly got pregnant, * Don't marry because you don't want to lose the person, * Don't marry because of family pressures, * Don't marry because you like the idea of marriage and admire every wedding gown you see, * Don't marry because all your friends are getting married. But * Get married because you want to fulfil destiny. * Get married because you want to be a help mate. * As a man, get married because you want to fulfil your purpose. God will help you in choosing, please let His will be done. Amen!

Below are the details of what he said: The elders have a say, if children of the same mother enters into a room to talk and come out smiling, they have not told each other the truth, Alright so in the next 3 minutes, you might not be smiling, because am going to tell you the truth, because am your daddy, strictly speaking, and I have searched the scripture, there is nowhere that I have found where it is written, if you wear make- up, you will go to hell or you will not make it to heaven, I can’t find it in the bible, no where at all, but I have done my own research, there are two places in the whole bible where references were made to painting of face, only two places, and the two places are bad. One of the places talked about Jezebel. How many of you will name your daughter Jezebel? 2kings,9:30, the day Jezebel was going to die, she did make up properly, painted her face, dented her face with jewelries, but at the end of the day, dog ate her. The second place is in Jeremiah 4: 29-30 where God was speaking in anger to daughters of Zion, He says when I make up my mind to deal with you, you can paint your face as you like, it is not going to deliver you, read it, you have your Bible to read. Those are the only two places I found, and they are terrible references. Now as far as am concerned, it is up to you to decide how you want to look, you want to make up, you want to paint yourself, you are at liberty. If for any reason whatsoever God decides not to allow you to enter heaven, sorry o!!! The point I'm making is this, nobody ever add sugar to honey. Have you seen anybody adding sugar to honey? Anytime you see a piece of furniture that is painted, wooden furniture that is painted, the wood is inferior. When the wood is ebony, nobody paints it, no no no. I think children of God should realise they are precious enough, by the special grace of God and by shed blood of Jesus Christ. They are honey, they don’t need sugar. Some people go about in the name of fashion wearing wigs. I'm not being judgemental at all. This is not law, there is no where in the Bible which says if you wear wigs, you can't make it to heaven. But this hair that you are wearing, from whose head was it cut? Do you know who was the original owner of the hair? Do you know what kind of anointing is in that hair? It is put in the most important part of your body, the head!!! Thou anointed my head. Things are so bad now that some ladies comes for ordination with wigs on, I always asked them which one do you want me to anoint, the wig or the head? I told you, you will not smile by the time I finished, I have not been legalistic, I have not said thou shall not wear wig. I'm only talking to my daughters, my own children. I read something in the book of revelation:7,1-3, some Angels were sent from heaven to deal with the inhabitants of the world, after the rapture, the bible says I heard , the Almighty God said ,before you begin to deal with people, let me mark them, let me seal them on their forehead, so that we know those that the bullet should not hit. What we wear matters. Why do you think the army wear uniforms? It is so that they will not accidentally shoot their own members. Can God recognize you at a glance, that is, as a child of God? Some people say it does not matter, and that what is inside is what is important, I agree with the last part, but what is inside will show outside, it will show on the outside, it will show, don’t let anybody deceived you. When I became General Overseer, I brought a group of teachers to come and teach in the bible college, and they began to teach series of things I did not bargain for. They were teaching that God is not interested in the outside, He is interested in the inside, this man (the G. O.) is legalistic, he is too strict. So I went to Oyingbo market to buy two oranges, one ripe and the other green all over. My bible students were beginning to turn to rebels, and God gave me wisdom, so I stood before the class and I said, which of this oranges will you take if I ask you to pick one? They all pointed at the yellow and ripe one, and I said why? they said because that one is going to be the sweeter one. How do you know? You have not seen the inside. They said what is inside is showing outside.

In 1984, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, then captain of the new Nigerian Bank football club, Benin, was banned by the Nigerian Football Association from all football activity in Nigeria. Though extremely harsh, it was the catalyst that forced Keshi into exile and eventually via Ivory Coast, to Belgium to become Nigeria’s first professional player in Europe. Though this was the beginning of his lifelong altercations with the Nigerian football governing body, it made him a pioneer and the catalyst to Nigeria’s world football ascension. Many followed suit, myself eventually and the polishing the exodus to Europe brought us all propelled us to the fifth Fifa-ranked nation in the world by 1994 with Keshi as our captain and leader – a feat still unsurpassed by any African nation. Last Tuesday I was awakened by a phone call I still wish was just a nightmare, announcing the sudden death of our leader, captain, brother and friend Stephen Keshi at a tender age of 54 in Benin City, Nigeria. Things have never been the same since then as pain, memories and questions keep on flooding my mind non-stop. Sadly, many in my great nation Nigeria are not renowned for celebrating our legends, heroes or successful sporting sons when they are alive, talk less of when they die, but rather fanatically try to tear them down. They are quickly forgotten and that further makes this great man’s death so disturbing. From the legendary 22 players of the 1994 golden team, of which I am one, Keshi becomes the fifth one we have lost in recent years. Just some weeks ago was the fourth anniversary of the death of another legend in the person of Rashidi Yekini and it went almost celebrated. We also lost Uche Okafor, Thompson Oliha and Wilfred Agbonivbare. Keshi as a player was strong, a good passer of the ball, strong in aerial balls, initiator of attacks from behind, scored goals, motivated the team and most of all always wanted to win, even at training sessions and was an Afcon winner with Nigeria 1994. As a coach he was extremely successful: Afcon 2013 winner, qualified to the World Cup three times, twice with Nigeria and once with Togo, though regrettably they allowed him only to lead his team to the World Cup once with Nigeria 2014. I fear though today many, most of whom Keshi had lifelong disagreements with based on their dubious management of funds destined for his captained or coached team among others, are now singing praises of his name, but will soon forget to acknowledge future anniversaries of his passing away. Sad! Personally I was privileged to have played for years with Keshi in the Super Eagles of Nigeria, eventually as his captain and he my coach with the Super Eagles. It was always an exceptional relationship, maybe because we came from the same state, or because I was a hard-working defensive midfielder in front of him, or because his lovely and unfortunately deceased wife liked me like a junior brother or simply just because most probably, he had a great heart. I guess I will never know. Keshi taught me a lot, for which I will be eternally grateful, some of it by his incessant advice and direction, but most of all by just watching and observing him at work. He was a very direct and vocal person, who three years ago publicly chastised me for questioning his team line-up at the Confederations Cup in Brazil as a coach, but quick to be grandiose about it some time later when we spoke on the telephone as a typical senior brother. Nigeria have lost one of our greatest sons and ambassador worldwide but should we want to produce more in the future we have to immortalise Keshi and not just verbally but monumentally. That way the upcoming ones have something to work up to. Keshi is bodily gone, but in our hearts, Skippo will forever live on. God bless you Steve and thanks for everything though you never liked me saying it. Thanks big bro. We miss you already!

There was a girl who was travelling from lagos to Osun state. When she got to Ibadan, she told the driver to stop that she wants to buy some drinks, the driver agreed and she went. When she came back, she saw that another person had taken her seat. She was angry and told the man to come down but the driver insisted that she must not enter the car again, her load was carried out and she waited for another bus. Not up to 15minute she heard that there was an accident. When she got there, she found out dat it was dat same bus she was sent out from but what she saw when the bus door was opened made her burst into tears. They found out it was only that man that sat on her seat who died and the woman said in a loud voice (THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ME, BUT I RECEIVED MERCY) YOU WILL RECEIVE MERCY IN JESUS NAME

Prof. Samuel Oye Bamidele who was appointed Vice-Chancellor of Ekiti State University (EKSU), is a senior pastor of Deeper Life Bible Church. He has revealed how he copes with ladies who tempt members of the academic staff of the institution. While acknowledging that every human being is tempted at one point or the other, he however said that the power of being a Christian is that God will give you the ability, the unusual supernatural power to be able to overcome temptation without falling into it. In his words: “There is a difference between temptation and falling into temptation. For example, we are all men here and that makes it good. Supposing a woman is here now, the atmosphere will not be the same. I will not say I have not been tempted in the sense that maybe an amorous person comes in, wanting to show a quarter of her breast. I will say, ‘Excuse me, go out and dress properly. As a lecturer, you can’t come into my office like that.’ “Some students will come with the intention to tempt you, trying to make eye contacts, and I will say, what are you trying to do? For you to be able to overcome temptation, you must resist it. But some people don’t resist the picture of temptation, so they run into it. So, to respond to your question directly, I want to say that to God be the glory, since I gave my life to Christ, I have not been tempted to the extent of falling, touching another person’s wife or student; never, never. And it is not only girls or women that cause temptation; some are tempted with money. They supervise students and collect money on projects. I supervise Ph.D students and I don’t take anything from them. You cannot even try me. So, all those ones, if you can keep yourself from being attracted by women or by money or material things of this world and you are contented, it will be easy for you to overcome temptation. But summarily, every human being will face temptation at one point or the other, but the power to overcome that temptation can only come from Christ.” On what measures his administration will put in place to prevent cases of sexual harassment of female students by their male lecturers, Prof. Samuel Oye Bamidele, revealed: “We are going to work on that. I have said I am committing my first year to IGR and this other one is academic and discipline. We are trying to put some things in place that will checkmate some lecturers that cannot keep their libido, and to that extent, we are going to go through management and then the Senate to fashion out some strategies to protect our female students from sexual harassment. That one is being planned, I may not feel out everything now. “Things are changing in this university and that is the truth. The head matters. If there is seriousness at the top, everybody will fall in line. They know that if I catch you sexually harassing female students, you will be in trouble. If as the vice-chancellor I am also one of those carrying girls and ladies around, I won’t have the mouth to tell those who are doing it to stop or sanction them in line with the rules. Now, it is no longer going to be business as usual. “Some regulations will come out in a short while to checkmate all those things in terms of the dressing of the students, because students also can be harassers. Female students can harass male students by their amorous outlook. We want to checkmate those things and for the staff, admin, teaching and non-teaching, we are going to have some codes that will create a level of restriction as to how they can harass female students.

So sad that MTN won the magic sim activation conflict. This is not suppose to cause a lot of controversy. If you are already addicted with the tweaks, you suppose to understand that nothing last forever and when one tweak blocked, surely, there will be an alternative. While we are still working to give you best of the best, you can still enjoy unlimited surfing with MTN N0.0 Tweak, BBlite Tweak, Music+ Tweakand Etisalat Social Me/Chat Pak Tweak.
Now let talk about MTN N150 unlimited data for selected sim cards. The post has already been made for it here before, I just want to share more light on it.
If your MTN Sim is among of the lucky Sim cards. You might have received a message from MTN asking you to load N150 and enjoy unlimited browsing. You can as well try dialing the code just in case you think you might have missed the SMS.
To Know If Your Sim is Eligible
Dial*567*59# and reply with 1 to activate it if you are eligible,hen you are good to go. Otherwise, you will receive a message that you are not eligible for the plan
Once your sim is eligible, your money will be deducted and you are free to enjoy unlimited browsing within 24hours.
Once you have used 500MB, you will receive a message that speed throttle has applied. Yeah, this is where we are going, just continue your reading...
Scope to Bypass the Throttling Limit
Make sure you load the N150 around 12:10am – 12:50am daily for maximum speed. Whenever you attain 500MB and you receive the speed throttle message, just ignore and keep flexing with your subscription, because as long as you dialed *567*59#, the speed throttle will not actually applied just that you may be receiving the pop-up messages continuously from MTN. Ignore the message and continue your unlimited browsing, just ensure that you do not leave much airtime on your sim.
Alternative Code to activate 500MB
You can also dial *661*2#to activate MTN Unlimited data Promo with N150, but the speed throttling after 500MB capped actually applies to this. So only use this, if dialing*567*59#code fails to work for you.
I wish you the best of luck with your MTN Sim for this cheapest unlimited plan. Make sure you first of all dial the code before you load the money to know if your sim is eligible or not.If it doesn’t, then try another sim until you get one that works.Don't forget totell us your experienceviathe comment box.

USE YOUR OBSTACLES!
What are those obstacles standing in your way? Is it your past mistakes, failures, hard experiences? Use them as fuel for a forward progress!
Let me give you an instance. When you are driving and you sight a road block ahead of you, what do you do? You start planning on how to manoeuvre the road blocks isn't it? That is also what these obstacles are for. You make mistakes so you can learn that there is always a better way and that helps you to think out the best way!
If you made a mistake and you are still blaming yourself, then it means you never learnt anything-you have not yet seen your mistakes as a big lesson!
Until you start seeing your mistakes as a lesson, you will continue to fail! But when you see your mistakes, failures as a lesson, you will want to carefully learn your lessons, find out where and why you failed, and then you will begin to strategically make plans for a big come-back!
Use your obstacles, do not let your obstacles use you! Never let yourself become a victim of your past mistakes and failures, instead see them as opportunity to get wiser, know and become a better person!
A former colleague of mine would always say, "If there were no obstacles, one would become extremely stupid". How true!

My brother no divorce after marriage if heaven is your goal, the best thing you can do to be prayerful and move closer to God, no Divorce after marriage. Dis will be a lesson for all single that they should pray before choosing.

If what your church, i mean the church you are going is praying contrary to Roman12:14 forget answers to your prayer.
.............romans12:14 says
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.

As a stakeholder in the joint project called Nigeria, let me use this medium to write this open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, on the need for him and his team to transform our country and be thorough in the efforts to sanitise the country.
It is a great worry and concern that the nation’s economy is in distress, as more Nigerians are now struggling to provide their basic needs, hence the need for more aggressive economic policies that would revive dead companies and also increased the potential of the private sector.
I have to commend the desire of President Buhari’s economic plan to re-invest in the agricultural sector and to seek other alternatives to oil and gas, which have fared very badly in recent times.
I also call on the President to encourage state-governments, the private sector and individual Nigerians to intensify their efforts in exploring the means of diversifying the sources of national income, while initiating genuine policies that will protect the citizens, create wealth and meaningfully engage the teeming unemployed youths in the country.
President Buhari also needs to unite the county that has been fractured by ethnicity, religion and politics, by giving all Nigerians a sense of belongings in the Nigerian project and lay to rest all divisive tendencies that have worked against the growth and progress of the country.
I enjoin all Nigerians to support the Federal Government’s fight against corruption, as this is a collective responsibility that requires our collective efforts, which ought to be carried out at all levels, in order that we may recover our wasted opportunities.
This period calls for sober reflection and the need for Nigerians to rely on God, to make our efforts towards the emergence of a new Nigeria bear desired fruits. God bless Nigeria! God bless you! God bless me!

“When there is love in a marriage, there is harmony in the home; when there is harmony in the home, there is contentment in the community; when there is contentment in the community, there is prosperity in the nation; when there is prosperity in the nation, there is peace in the world.”
