Nairaland / General / 15 Most Powerful Words Spoken By Jesus Christ. 14. by oprite: 4:13pm On Aug 02, 2017 |
We’ve waited this long to summarize another powerful statement made by the Lord Jesus Christ. The fourteenth statement we are considering is very interesting, in that it forms the basis for the differences in our individual perspective of God’s Word. And of course, this also accounts for the differences in our overall productivity in life. After reading these statements He made, I expect strongly that you will make a positive decision to gladly identify with Jesus Christ henceforth. According to a true account, we have a clearly documented parable of a sower as spoken by Jesus Christ, which happens to be one of His outstanding parables. This account is written below in very clear and understandable English language. “What do you make of this? A farmer planted seed. As he scattered the seed, some of it fell on the road, and birds ate it. Some fell in the gravel; it sprouted quickly but didn’t put down roots, so when the sun came up it withered just as quickly. Some fell in the weeds; as it came up, it was stran gled by the weeds. Some fell on good earth, and produced a harvest beyond his wildest dreams. “Are you listening to this? Really listening?” Why Tell Stories? The disciples came up and asked, “Why do you tell stories?” He replied, “You’ve been given insight into God’s kingdom. You know how it works. Not ev erybody has this gift, this insight; it hasn’t been given to them. Whenever someone has a ready heart for this, the insights and understandings flow freely. But if there is no readiness, any trace of receptivity soon disappears. That’s why I tell stories: to create readiness, to nudge the people toward receptive insight. In their present state they can stare till doomsday and not see it, listen till they’re blue in the face and not get it. I don’t want Isaiah’s forecast repeated all over again: Your ears are open but you don’t hear a thing. Your eyes are awake but you don’t see a thing. The people are blockheads! They stick their fingers in their ears so they won’t have to listen; They screw their eyes shut so they won’t have to look, so they won’t have to deal with me face-to- face and let me heal them. “But you have God-blessed eyes—eyes that see! And God-blessed ears—ears that hear! A lot of people, prophets and humble believers among them, would have given anything to see what you are seeing, to hear what you are hearing, but never had the chance. The Meaning of the Harvest Story “Study this story of the farmer planting seed. When anyone hears news of the kingdom and doesn’t take it in, it just remains on the surface, and so the Evil One comes along and plucks it right out of that person’s heart. This is the seed the farmer scatters on the road. “The seed cast in the gravel—this is the person who hears and instantly responds with enthusiasm. But there is no soil of character, and so when the emotions wear off and some diffi culty arrives, there is nothing to show for it. “The seed cast in the weeds is the person who hears the kingdom news, but weeds of worry and illusions about getting more and want ing everything under the sun strangle what was heard, and nothing comes of it. “The seed cast on good earth is the person who hears and takes in the News, and then produces a harvest beyond his wildest dreams.”—Matthew 13:3-23, The Message. In this regard, I welcome you to Christ’s abode where peace and pleasure is guarranteed for success beyond your wildest dreams. You have just read the word now. But what you do afterwards is what will determine what you get out of it eventually. You won’t regret doing this! Source: http://simizer.com/z5n |

Religion / 15 Most Powerful Words Spoken By Jesus Christ 13. by oprite: 7:30am On Aug 01, 2017 |
15 Most Powerful Words Spoken By Jesus Christ 13. Although He seldom speaks in plain speeches, yet He often explains the meaning of his parables to His disciples. The thirteenth powerful statements we are considering here was spoken to the crowds in dark speeches. But he later explained its meaning to His own disciples in very clear speeches. Try and read them up. This will also help you to understand the reason why what was meant for good is now becoming evil. [b]He told another story. “God’s kingdom is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. That night, while his hired men were asleep, his enemy sowed thistles all through the wheat and slipped away before dawn. When the first green shoots appeared and the grain began to form, the thistles showed up, too. “The farmhands came to the farmer and said, ‘Master, that was clean seed you planted, wasn’t it? Where did these thistles come from?’ “He answered, ‘Some enemy did this.’ “The farmhands asked, ‘Should we weed out the this tles?’ “He said, ‘No, if you weed the thistles, you’ll pull up the wheat, too. Let them grow together until harvest time. Then I’ll instruct the harvesters to pull up the thistles and tie them in bundles for the fire, then gather the wheat and put it in the barn.’ ” The Curtain of History Jesus dismissed the congregation and went into the house. His disciples came in and said, “Explain to us that story of the thistles in the field.” So he explained. “The farmer who sows the pure seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world, the pure seeds are subjects of the kingdom, the thistles are subjects of the Devil, and the enemy who sows them is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age, the curtain of history. The harvest hands are angels. “The picture of thistles pulled up and burned is a scene from the final act. The Son of Man will send his angels, weed out the thistles from his kingdom, pitch them in the trash, and be done with them. They are going to complain to high heaven, but nobody is going to listen. At the same time, ripe, holy lives will mature and adorn the kingdom of their Father. “Are you listening to this? Really listening?[/b]Matthew 13:24-43, The Message. Don’t be deceived! The original intent of God is to reconcile the all world to Himself through the sowing of His Word, by establishing a perfect WAY to reaching Him anytime, anywhere. But the sad story is, many wolves in sheep clothings have given that WAY a bad name. However, don’t be deterred by this. No matter what Christians or non Christians have done or are doing, Jesus Christ remains the only WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE to God. You choose to either be that pure seed sown or you revert into being a thistle.....http://simizer.com/S3a |

Sports / Best U20 Player On The Planet, Wows Liverpool Coach On Debut by oprite: 10:05am On Jul 13, 2017 |
see source:http://tinyical.com/1LZx Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp was impressed with the performance the English- born Nigerian striker Dominic Solanke put in against Tranmere Rovers in their first pre- season friendly on Wednesday night. The Golden Ball winner at this summer's Fifa U20 World Cup looked lively after entering into the fray in the 46th minute and was denied a debut goal by a great save from goalkeeper Pilling in the 50th minute. ''I saw a few wonderful signs tonight. Everybody in England watched the U20 World Cup – that was fantastic football,'' Klopp said in his post match comments. ''He is an offensive player, a really skilled boy. He has to improve, of course, but a lot of things are already really good: first touch, movement, a lot of things. ''So it’s about him, if you want, and the situation. But I will not avoid his development, so the moment he is strong enough he is there.'' The 19-year-old Solanke joined Liverpool as a free agent this summer after spending the last thirteen years of his career with Chelsea. |

Eyoma has yet to feature competitively for the first team of Tottenham, but everything indicates that he will be promoted to their U23 squad in the new season after making three appearances for the side during the 2016-2017 season. The 17-year-old starred for the Young Lions at this summer's European Under-17 Championship, and helped his country of birth qualify for the World Cup.

Foreign Affairs / Israel Sentences Palestinian Activist To Six Months In Prison by oprite: 9:30am On Jul 13, 2017 |
source: http://tinyical.com/1L8x An Israeli military court has sentenced Palestinian politician and human rights activist Khalida Jarrar to six months of administrative detention. The ruling on Wednesday came after Jarrar, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, was arrested from her home in a pre-dawn raid at the beginning of the July by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah. A court hearing on July 17 is expected to affirm her administrative detention sentence, which is a form of internment without trial or charge that is subject to indefinite renewal. Jarrar, 54, was previously imprisoned for 15 months before her release in June 2016. Israel had charged her with offences relating to her activism and membership of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – which Israel considers a terrorist organisation – and had accused her of inciting violence. Prisoner rights group Addameer, of which Jarrar is the vice-chairperson of the board of directors, released a statement following her most recent arrest calling for her release. “The arrest of Khalida Jarrar constitutes an attack against Palestinian political leaders and Palestinian civil society as a whole,” the statement said. “It also constitutes one arrest in the context of continuous arrest campaigns against Palestinians.” In a statement after Jarrar’s arrest on July 2, the Israeli army said that her arrest was not related to her position as member of the PLC, but to her activities within the PFLP. At least 13 Palestinian politicians are currently imprisoned in Israeli jails. At least nine of them are being held without charge under administrative detention, according to the Palestinian Prisoners Center for Studies. |

Politics / See What Obasanjo Said About; Himself,abacha, Abiola Andyar'adua by oprite: 4:59pm On Jul 09, 2017 |
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Saturday alleged that late Head of State, Sani Abacha killed Shehu Yar Adua and MKO Abiola. Obasanjo made the allegation at a dinner programme organised by an inter-denominational Christian organisation, Christ The Redeemer’s Friends International of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Lagos Province 39 Chapter; DAILY POST reports. Obasanjo said, “Two people had earlier told me Abacha promised that three of us would not come out of prison or detention alive. “Myself, Shehu Yar Adua and MKO Abiola. And two of them did not come out alive. So, that I came out alive, maybe God has a purpose. And therefore if the purpose is for me to serve the people and by so doing, serve God, then so be it. “Abacha claimed that I was plotting a coup. I wasn’t the first to be arrested. When Shehu (Yar’Adua) was arrested, I tried to plead for his release. “When Abacha said he didn’t know about Shehu’s arrest, I said to him, ‘the number two man in this country cannot be arrested without you knowing.’ He then said he would go and find out. ''In Abacha’s plan, he left God out of it and because he left God out of his plan, it (his government) eventually failed. There is God’s hand in the life of each and every one of us and every institution. I believe that very well. “When I was arrested, they took me to a house in Ikoyi (Lagos) and that became my abode (I was) in isolation, for three months. In the meantime, there were national and international pressures for my release, (former US) President Jimmy Carter was one of the world leaders that came to ask for my release. “Some African leaders like Yoweri Museveni and Robert Mugabe came. I believe it was because of those pressures that I was released from isolation in Ikoyi where I was under house arrest. “I must say that, that day, in a split second, it felt like the worst day in my life. What flashed through my mind was that I was forever ruined. I asked myself, ‘What did I do to deserve this? Is this what I get for serving Nigeria?’ But then, I told myself again that this was not done to me by Nigeria, but that one man did it for me.” On why he was shuttled between Jos and Port Harcourt prisons, He said, “I was to go to Jos (prison) and Yar’Adua was to go to Port Harcourt (prison). In Jos, I was visited by my colleagues, including Yakubu Danjuma, Joe Garba, Domkat Bali, many of our colleagues, and then family members and friends. “Then a decision was made that I was becoming too popular in Jos prison and I had to be transferred to. Yola prison which is a native authority prison and I don’t need to tell you what life was there. “In Jos prison, before I was transferred to Yola prison, they had decided that Shehu Yar’Adua and myself should be poisoned. So, they took him from Port Harcourt prison to Abakaliki. In the process, he was injected with the virus that killed him. The same was supposed to be done to me. The man who came took me from the prison to a guest house in the GRA in Jos, said, ‘We know you have problem with cholesterol so I have to take your blood for a test.’ Then I said, ‘Not on your life, I don’t have any problem of cholesterol.’ “I was slightly diabetic. But God had taken care of it because I was checking my blood sugar almost on a daily basis and it had become better than normal. So, I refused him (the man) touching me with anything. So, they took me to Yola and he said, ‘when you get to where you are going, we will come again.” source:http://picocurl.com/2aKz |
