Zionmdde:
I rather prefer pastors to be very wealthy with every means legal and honest
I want the person giving me financial sermon to be an epitome of prosperity

I believe simple means entails huzzling like the common man on the street and doing jobs like truck pushers. How Will they rich and mighty now attend the church of poor pastors? Or is Christianity not for them too?

Thanks for saying financial sermon. This is not about salvation or the matters of the heart. It is about financial sermons . Oga zion do you jare. You need financial education from financial pastors giving financial sermons . To every malam his kettle . End of discussion

Zionmdde:
I am saying exactly that Jesus was in a rich man's tomb, a well constructed tomb

You guys should stop associating Jesus and his disciples with everything poverty

This is why is exactly why I asked that question. So who is associating everything poverty with Jesus ? Of course there were wealthy people around Jesus along side poor people .no true christian who reads his Bible and do not wait for a pastor to tell them things in Sundays will ever say or imply that.

However it is these prosperity pastors and their impressionable followers who are saying Jesus dislikes poor people . Fatoyinbo said the children of a renowned apostle are nowhere today because their father was "poor". One even said Jesus hated poor people . Please make it make sense .

Zionmdde:
Why then was there need to describe Joseph's wealth in Mathew 27:57-60
And do you think pilate would have released the body to a nobody or a poor man?

I dislike discussions without a focal point . What are you trying to say exactly ?

Exousiang01:
LoL do you know what the word BUSINESS ACTUALLY MEANS?
BUSY-NESS
You know no Idea what some of us know about Christianity, Religion and the world as we know it
We just keep quiet because, imagine telling someone like you who is having difficulty understand this that the garden of Eden was not created for Adam and Eve, and Adam was not the first man, he was only the first man created in the "Likeness". Your head no go fit carry am.

Then keep the load in your head . "Supposed"Knowledge should not be a prideful thing. In fact people with knowledge understand that it is limited and are careful not to talk in absolutes

Exousiang01:
They were doing business Jesus categorically said he was going about his father's business, ministry is not a Sunday Sunday thing like some ministers who you never see during the week except on Sundays, the Kingdom business is full time work except you are a lay preacher.
About Jesus said what or not, Are you telling me that every thing you know in the bible was said by Jesus?
Because if that be the case you know nothing in the Bible.

Kingdom business is different from normal business .
The bible is a compilation of books written by inspired people. Not one book was written by Jesus. Everything said in the new testament about Jesus are reported speech.

assumptions made based on what is written in the bible is dangerous. Any person can twist it for their evil deeds .

Zionmdde:
Why was is it Joseph of arimanthea who was not one of the 12 that the body of Jesus was handed over to?

Because the 12 ran away. Even Peter denied him because the mob were ready to kill all his disciples alongside . There was no other implied reason for that . Any "wealth" reason is another distortion of the bible

Exousiang01:
Do you carry your entire life savings with you everywhere you go?
If I recall that incident caught Peter unaways.

Let's use common sense in comparison.
That said

Yes Peter was a poor man. Which was the reason Jesus never made the mistake of handing his mother over to his Peter. The ministry of Jesus wasn't a poor one, they had enough money that they needed a treasurer, poor man no dey get treasurer, small business no dey get accountant or how many 2by2 shops do you see with accountants?
I strongly Condem Fatoyinbo and his likes not withstanding.
My point is don't change what is in the bible to suit your story. It's actually a son, adding and removing from the bible is a sin

"Which was the reason Jesus didnt hand over his mother to Peter?" Jesus personally told you this ? Where is it in the bible that Jesus did that because Peter was poor ?
There was a treasurer because people gave them things including money . Not that they did any business .

jesusjnr2020:
The same Simon Peter was the man Jesus deemed wise to lead His church after His departure, hence despite being poor and pennyless, Jesus yet saw nothing wrong in appointing him as leader over His church.

Sadly if the same Simon Peter were here today, the spiritually bankrupt and blind prosperity preachers of our time, who use money and earthly treasures to measure and rate themselves, would mock him and label him a curse, failure, loser, non-entity, liability, because they were would think they're better than him because of his poverty and lack of money.

That's how one of them, Biodun Fatoyinbo, recently mocked a "Peter" of the previous generation, Ayo Babalola, because he was poor despite being "super annointed" according to him.

He thinks because of his earthly riches, and because he "dedicated 2 private jets in one day" etc., that he is better than an Ayo Babalola.

If you asked me though, I am 💯 certain that Ayo Babalola was richer than him and all the prosperity preachers combined.

Therefore I would choose an Ayo Babalola over them a million times, because I believe that the life of a man doesn't consist in the abundance of possessions he has, but in how rich he is towards God. Luke 12:15-21

God bless.

How can you say that? Jesus hates poor people now . His disciples were the wealthiest at that time. In fact Jesus did those miracles to quickly get rid of those poor ,wretched people. Imagine those scallywags disturbing the peace of our Lord and Saviour. In fact it is documented history that that sermon on the mount , there was a special place for the wealthy . They didnt eat out of the bread and fish . The 5 loaves of bread and fish were from the leftovers from the wealthy section.

miracle002:
Sometimes you see a fine tall pretty lady with a good shape doing well in life and career and also independent even rich and may be the light in her family, but single and not married in and out on relationships. Unstable relationship and you begin to wonder what is happening. You may think it is ordinary, she may also think that it is ordinary that there is something in her life that she needs to perfect.

Unknown to her, it is that water spirit or spirit husband that is scattering her relationships. Even if she eventually marries, it will be problems and disaster, the marriage will not last, it's either the man divorces her or the man dies mysteriously through unexplainable sickness or accident, or the man will not find her attractive again. The same applies to men.

The spirit may also block her womb and prevent her from having a child in the physical world because in the river she has many children for that man. Some do see the spirit either physically or in their dream manifesting to them.

Some out of curiosity decides to visit a spiritualist or native doctor before the spirit will be summoned, then he will begin to speak that he owns you and then tell you his demands.

But I want to tell you that he doesn't own you. The person that owns you is The God of Heaven. The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. He is the one that created and formed you. He is the only one you are permitted to serve.

In order to be free from this spirit, you have to enter into serious spiritual warfare prayers to break yourself free from the grip of this water spirit. The same applies to men

Which kin yeye spirit ? An unmarried successful man is enjoying life while same scenario for women na marine husband cause am . This is wrong mentality . This kind of brainwashing is the reason prophets and apostles take advantage of women .

Any woman in that category who really wants to marry should just do a reflection . Problem is usually within you or your social circle. Same with a man . However if you are not interested in marriage abeg just enjoy your life

This is wrong but we need a full gist of what happened, I don't believe this narration.

But if true, the God that sent u to the Governor didn't reveal to u that u would be shot and still made u die after they shot u?
The boy really m guy might have mental illness, that what's called Grandiose delusion.

I doubt the mental illness part. That apostle seem to be trying to control the boy

God be with this family. It is so sad to read this . May the culprits be found and punished by the law .

you see that apostle needs to be investigated. Why would you send the young man to the governor's house without appointment ? Not only did the boy leave but he returned later . Was the apostle using the boy to gain access to the governor and sent him back there ? Why would an apostle ask the boy to stop his education for bible school without consulting the parents ? The apostle is a questionable character .

Yestogood:
As justified as you may think your position is, I would like to remind you that these retired soldiers have no bankable skill: all they were trained to do is kill. It is in the greater interest that their welfare be prioritised. Otherwise, they may have no other option than to resort to violent crime.
Instead of casting our veterans aside when they retire, maybe we should consider automatic reabsorption into JTF outfits to make securing our vulnerable communities.

Just a year of banditry or kidnapping they will become multi millionaires . You are right . Nigeria cannot allow them resort to self help when the only skill they know is warfare and killing .

Jashub:
They were following orders . As a soldier, you are required to follow orders irrespective of your personal sentiments

So a soldier must shoot his family because of an order ? Irrespective of personal sentiments ? Abeg make una dey talk carefully

columbus007:
They have been eliminating Nigerians off the road since that company was created, do you know how many.

Journalism is dead in this country . If the media is serious , they should investigate and put the numbers on the pages of newspaper how many have been killed by Dangote's trucks . What kind of compensation are made . Instead these envelope requesting journalists just move around getting paid to post only good things except when they target politically exposed people .

Godfullsam:
You all should keep deceiving yourselves.

The bible says 'the earth is the Lord's and it's fullness thereof' Psalm 24 Vs 1.

You all should keep dragging and claiming what doesn't belong to you.

One by one everyone will kpai and the land will remain.

Only God knows if humans will possess anything last last . One asteroid can wipe out everything leaving nothing but dust . Clean slate .

They better settle that family well. This should serve as a deterrent to the company on the recklessness of some of its truck drivers

No be all women pu..ssy men suppose dey chop but some people no dey hear word.

These bloggers are spinning a narrative that is quite bad and mere speculation. First it was being an arsenal fan the reason for their poor performance . Then it became manutd . Then Anthony Joshua etc . It is not good to ascribe bad luck to her .

If lekki toll gate can be a private company business and I seeing that it will yield profit and a good return , decide to invest State resources into the company instead of buying the company with the State resources and giving it to my son, have I done anything wrong
Did I return the state money?......YES
Did I return it with Profit ................YES
Who lost.................nobody.......

When I see that instead of the usual Christian/ Muslim or Muslim/ Christian ticket has been sabotaged and there is fear in the country that Muslims are taking over the Country politically with a Muslim Muslim ticket, ....

How else can one describe a religious war if for the first time such a thing is seen in a country where Islam is not the only religion?

So what is wrong with him calling whoever he wants who is part of CAN.....Christian Association of Nigeria?

Sometimes you people talk like what the country presently looks like...

Sorry bro , are you interested in good governance or in the religion of the candidates? Abiola ran a Muslim Muslim ticket and he had massive support from all Nigerians without religious undertone and won. This is the religious bigotry Deji is talking about . How would you like it if people deny you opportunities because you are a christian despite tour competence ?

Unfortunately this is why corruption has killed this country. Don't carry that mentality abroad else you will be jailed . We have been so battered that people dont even know what is right or wrong anymore. We see bare minimum and applaud it like it is golden.
If you do what is stated above, it is criminal ...unless approved by the state house of assembly. . Do you know the company can lose the money ? People focus so much on profit and not realize that any business can flop. Even from an established one. Even Dangote has businesses thay flopped.

This guy no fit free. The people after him for knacking their wives are too many. Some are very powerful too. When he serve one jail term, they will find something else to use to hold him. It’s pure envy and jealousy

Did you say envy and jealousy ? Na . Thats not it. It hinges on pure vengeance and bruised egos . But ultimately it is justice

ediko5:
I'm not a fan of Peter Obi and can never be. But it baffles me how the likes of Deji and Aisha Yesufu parade themselves as activists.

Deji is fond of insulting politicians who did not agree to his term or offer for him to insult to politician's opponent in the name of activism.

He did that when APC up under Buhari took power, he met Wike before 2023 election to become the national publicity secretary of PDP and when Wike refused, he started insulting Wike, he met Peter Obi and maybe Peter Obi didn't accept to pay him what he proposed, he started attacking Peter Obi.

And people call this one activist?

I agree with you 100 percent on Deji .

But sometimes let's leave the messenger and focus on the message . Is what he said true ? Let's focus on that first

Skeyskey:
Same Deji Adeyanju is yet to reply Lere Olayinka who told the whole world how Deji Adeyanju abandoned his baby mama and his son, for an elderly rich woman.

Did he do it as a politician ? Please all Deji's points are very valid and already in the social media space except for the one he said he was offered money. Na both of them know that one .

Did he invest state resources in private companies his family had interests in ? Yes he did . Did he call Bishop Oyedepo and implied the election was a religious war ? Yes he did . Infact he was asked about it and instead of clearing the issue, he was refused to answer

Brendaniel:
But Tinubu and Yakubu's INEC wants us to believe that Peter Obi came third behind Atiku and Tinubu came first, Well this the real result of that election

Peter Obi - Winner

Atiku - 2nd

Tinubu - 3rd

But Tinubu and INEC just flipped Tinubu's position with Peter Obi's own because can someone explain how APC attacks Peter Obi more than Atiku who came second and PDP is regretting fielding Atiku in 2023 while also seeking him for presidency over Atiku for 2027 and even rating him with Jonathan, it is clear Peter Obi won that election.

Prove it ! People need to stop talking without proof. Tribunal dey, appeal dey, supreme court dey , social media court dey ! Show how Tinubu came third . Joining the bandwagon to make unsubstantiated claims is mental laziness .

ComeToJesus:
In a country that the youths know their onions, people like Gehgeh or whatever would have been in the abyss of nondescript fellows.

But here, youth who are cut in the same fabric as the bbclaat are hailing him and urging the disoriented fellow on simply because he commodifies women.

Such a shame..

And there are women broke shaming men everywhere . It is all bad but that is the society we have found ourselves .
