thebosstrevor1: It was a bomb blast. ✓ People living outside the community said they heard the sound and gas explosion won't sound so. ✓ Gas explosion that collapsed a house and there was no fire. ✓ I have three persons living in sabon gari, (1 is a family friend to the proprietor of the school) and they all confirmed it's a bomb blast. Until you confirm an information, don't spread false news. And don't also counter an information until you have verified. We all know Nigeria and the news, they tell you what they want you to hear so chill We wish those injured quick recovery and the family of the deceased comfort. May God keep Nigeria safe |

The Environmental Sanitation that was observed nation wide was also observed in the local government area where I am currently serving! The flag off ceremony was carried out by the State Coordinator Mr. Dennis Gingi who matched into the local government secretariat with his entourage in an NYSC hilux van. Before their arrival, the Corp Members in Umuahia South Local Government Area already started working so as to avoid the harsh sun peradventure the state coordinator don't come on time! Few minutes into the exercise, the hilux arrived and the State Coordinator marched into the Local Government chairman's office where all other formalities were done; after which the state coordinator (in Red), local government chairman (in white) and the Local Government inspector (the woman) all took the cutlass and started the clearing then the Corp Members continued from where they stopped! The reason for this nationwide sanitation and sentization on sanitation is that the last time some Corp Members were sent out to discover the reason for outbreak of diseases in various communities, it was discovered that these diseases were as a result of poor hygiene! Hence the scheme deemed it fit to sentize the society nation wide about sanitation and also help in sanitizing the environment! Therefore, as you read this, also ensure your environment is kept clean to avoid falling sick! Nigeria's ours, Nigeria we serve!

LordAdam16: Actually, I was only telling him my own side that even though some students were brought up to hate maths and others had wrong/poor maths teachers, they are some who were motivated and they also had the best of maths teachers!! They still failed because they could not fathom these concepts!! If you don't get a picture of what you are taught, you'll only be left with cramming the English associated with the topic! I had that problem with lower chemistry (but not anymore) and currently, Physics seems abstract. It's not the fault of the teachers or the orientation, its the #Abstract-ness of the course (in my reasoning) |

lilmax: Not all students had poor or wrong mathematics teachers! Till now its my passion and I'm actually studying it but it is truly difficult! Abstract algebra, Real analysis are all mind cracking with their abstract concept, requires thinking like a genius that you haven't become... ODE is too wide and the latter part of it, hmmmm.. The fact is that whether it's Isaac Newton or John Venn that's your teacher, twill still be difficult 13 Likes |

"And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him... I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom.." Matthew 16vs16-19. After Peter knew who Jesus was, it was his turn to know who he was, will become and what he will have. Similarly Until you know who Jesus is, you don't or can't know who you are and what you have. Are you satisfied with you up and down looking for favourable path? You will surely continue to look for greener pastures and at that, you won't find Joy, you won't be fulfilled in all you do until you begin to do what you're destined for!! Do you know who you are? Do you know what you'll become? Do you know what you have? Why not get a #PERSONAL knowledge of #JESUS_CHRIST today? It's not too late yet!! Good morning |

[quote author=ihedinobi2 post=71745860] I don't know about winning an argument. I certainly hope that I wasn't trying to do that. You don't even need to know.. Simply, you win.. Hope you're satisfied.. [quote author=ihedinobi2 post=71745860] What I meant to do was answer questions as clearly as possible and tell all the Truth I have learned regarding what was asked so that anyone reading will be edified if they want to be. Edifying? False teachings don't edify so none of your answers here did that.. It only brought more strivings.. [quote author=ihedinobi2 post=71745860] Is my interpretation on shaky foundations? I believe that they are not but I cannot decide for you what you must believe. How will you believe? Even the Israelites who are still waiting for Christ have a belief and they don't believe its a shaky belief.. [quote author=ihedinobi2 post=71745860] Do I need Jesus? We all do. I certainly haven't got all of Him that I know that He has to give and I am still striving everyday to get more of Him. That is also why I need and take care to access good Bible teaching to help me get to know Him more everyday. I urge you to do the same. What I am saying is different from what you're insinuating. You need Jesus on a foundational level. Without that, you can't strive for more of HIM so first thing first.. [quote author=ihedinobi2 post=71745860] Cheers. More cheers bro |

Its obvious that I am not wrong on thinking that your Biblical interpretation have shaky foundation.. What you need at this point is Jesus and not even Bible explanation. Must you win an argument? Ihedinobi2....... YOU WIN.. Hope you're now satisfied.. Mtcheew |

[color=#000099][/color] ihedinobi2 read I Corinthians 9vs13,14. It says "Do ye not know that those which minister about HOLY things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath THE LORD ORDAINED that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel" The fact that Apostle Paul didn't talk about it or didn't want it does not mean JESUS didn't ordain giving to minister. And calling it TITHE (as it was called in the old testament) doesn't maker it wrong either. |

estheragha: I am interested in the books not just because its free but the title is one which someone will like to venture into to know stuffs about. So you'll brief me about the places where these books can be delivered to? |

I Corinthians 16vs1,2. "Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given 'order' to the 'churches' of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come" pls help explain this. The best thing we can do while reading the Bible is to "Read the Bible with an open mind" If you come to it having something at heart, you'll end up lining up points from it to defend what you have in heart, but if you come to it wanting to hear, God will give you what you want to hear and what you didn't budget for.. The issue of giving is really a hard one this days. Many BIBLE passages about giving have been forgotten or put aside just to fill so called or even true Pastors stomach and on seeing that, some have come out to cancel out all other means of giving!! Soon someone will say no need to give offering! (Don't argue that because you're already arguing about tithe). If I may ask; 1. Since you said we should no longer give tithe, just outline short and simple reasons why we shouldn't and if GOD has cancelled tithe; WHY? 2. If the Apostles didn't give tithe and they gave their all since that's what was recorded for us, are we to give our all or not? If Yes! Why? And if No! Why? |

ihedinobi2 You know what? Its funny when someone thinks he is right and he is "totally wrong" what surprises me is that in all areas of the bible, you're very shallow... Apostle Paul says we should avoid foolish questions and striving about the law for they are unprofitable and vain. (Titus 3vs9).. Its time I heed to that.. The fact that I stopped arguing about all the former topics and stopping this now; it is not because you're right but because you're too shallow and at that very shallow. We see normally that "An ignorant man does not always want correction because he doesn't want to be seen as inferior".. A quote relating to that is "empty vessels make the loudest noise" how will you say tithing is wrong and sin-less perfection is not attainable? Then what did Jesus do at the cross? I pity your knowledge and it shows the level of what Christian life you portray.. God help you.. |

@ ihedinobi2 Nothing about tithe is wrong! The fact that you're not accepting it does not make it wrong! They're many things that are out-rightly wrong and people don't talk about it.. Go and challenge Celibacy. Refusal to eat meat during lent period, Gay marriage, lesbianism and not Tithe. If you believe it, believe it. If you don't, then don't but when advising someone. Tell him or her that "some people believe it and they still practice it" but for me, I don't believe it that's why I don't practice it. You then know that any other thing he wants to know is why you don't and with that you can make him see reasons not to and not counter the other person who believes it... That's maturity We Christians, we've lost the focus, different denominations with different doctrines. No wonder the church is in a mess. Remove not the ancient landmarks which our fathers have set (Proverbs 22vs28) 1 Like 1 Share |

[quote author=ihedinobi2 post=71656481] What is even this issue of giving these days. Modern day Christians find it difficult to part away with little things for the Kingdom of GOD but we refuse to put in mind what JESUS CHRIST left in order to redeem us, what HE suffered in other to set us free.. He gave not only HIS LIFE, for 33 and half years, HE was in this wretched world as a Man, was bitten, spat upon, crucified as if HE was paying for HIS sins. All these HE did for us and common 10 percent of your income, we find it difficult.. Ananias and Sapphira started on this not, the rich man who met JESUS claiming to have fulfilled all necessary conditions also couldn't do this.. Sorry but I feel many things will make men miss heaven. Jesus said it will be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven. If young men who haven't made any serious money can't pay 10%, how will they now give their all to God! Jesus gave 2 parables in Matthew 13vs44,46..when a certain man finds a pearl of great price or a field with treasure; He sells ALL THAT HE HAD just to buy that pearl or field. Anything less than your all is not worthy of GOD. I mean if you can't path with ALL when it is demanded by GOD, you ain't worthy of HIM since HE GAVE YOU HIS ALL.. Emulate Abraham. He had the heart of giving GOD his PROMISED-SON. The one who will be the successor of HIS ABRAHAMIC COVENANT.. |

To begin with, it was a one-off affair. There is no record of Abraham ever paying a tithe to anybody before then or after. Totally agree with that because the Bible gave us what HE wanted us to know and that is why I will still have to use this to counter your next claim. Second, Abraham was already quite wealthy and did not pay any tithe out of his own wealth. The tithe came out of the booty from the war, which booty he refused eventually to share in. The secret things belongeth unto God but those things which are revealed belong to us... (Deut. 29vs29) there is no record whether he paid tithe of His belongings earlier so since you were not the one that wrote the Bible don't jump into conclusion. Third, that incident was deliberately designed by God to later demonstrate that the Levitical priesthood would be inferior to Christ's Priesthood of which all Christians are part. That raises the question: if Abraham is the example we are to follow, how exactly are we to follow it? Levi paid a tithe in Abraham to Melchizedek. We are in Christ Who is the Antitype of Melchizedek here, not Abraham. Should we be paying the tithe then? Shouldn't it be the Levites paying US a tithe now? But where are the Levites? Malachi 3vs10; bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that they may be meat in my house... The Levites were the one dwelling in the house of God then that's why it seems as if they took it to the levites. Had it been it was the Danites, you would still be asking where the Danites are. Its not about the people, its the place. THE HOUSE OF GOD Fourth, the tithe, like many other provisions of the Law, was not original to the Mosaic Law. Before Moses codified it, it was part of the ancient cultures of that time. It was a typical tax paid to a superior like the priest-king Melchizedek. So, Abraham's behavior need not be interpreted as novel and inspired. It was his act of deference to a representative of the God He worshipped. Moses later simply incorporated that practice under God's Inspiration in a manner to foreshadow how believers will live as members of God's Commonwealth. I concur with the sacrifice of Abraham which was before the law but reading Hebrews 10vs10; By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ "once" "for all".. For all whether those sacrifices before the Law and those given to Moses.. Happy Sunday |

clemzo101: Permit me to come in here. Those laws that were removed were shadows showing what Christ will come and do; so when the real image came, He removed the shadows. See how Hebrew 10vs1 puts it "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things..." in verse 9 "Then said HE, Lo, I come to do thy will O God. HE taketh away the first (Shadow), that HE may establish the second (Christ)" So hope you agree with me. What Christ cancelled was the law (those shadows). It means all those things that were there before the law, they were not cancelled. God gave Moses the law and Abraham was there before Moses. Abraham gave a Tithe after he came back from the wars of the king. It was before the law so it means it was not a shadow to be cancelled.. Let's even consider this, GOD gave us HIS all. HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN/ SON i.e, HIS BEST, what we have to give HIM in return should be our all and it should be our best. That's what we saw in the early church.. Dare to give GOD what is BEST. David said I will not give to GOD that which does not hurt me. It is not actually the criteria to measure your gift to GOD but just give a meaningful thing to GOD knowing that with the same measure that you mete withal it shall be measured to you again... |

Your explanations of the Bible marvels me.. Lemme clarify you on these two areas: 1. God's voice. Jesus said my sheep HEARS MY VOICE AND FOLLOWS ME. Apostle Paul also said as many as are led by The SPIRIT of GOD are the sons of God. 2. Perfection: So you mean God is mature and as such, we need to get matured? Perfection here means sinlessness.. Check out these passages: Romans 8vs1. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Galatians 5vs17. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. I John 3vs9. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him and he CANNOT SIN BECAUSE he IS BORN OF GOD. I John 5vs18. And we know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. Maybe the reason why you don't believe God still speak is because you haven't been spoken to before by him which is a clear-evidence that you ain't part of His sheep because that's a confirmation that you are His. The passages that I gave for perfection are self explanatory so let me explain I John 1vs8-10. Vs 8: Anyone who claims he has no sin deceives himself and the truth is not in him. When the gospel is presented to you (at this point you've never experience calvary) and you claim you have no sin, you deceive yourself because the sin of Adam made us all sinners and you must have by omission or commission committed a particular sin in the past. Vs9: if you confess your sin, He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. At this point you've come to calvary, no matter how filthy you are, no matter how moral you've been, no matter how long you've been a sinner or how many sins you've committed, He will cleanse your sin if only you'll come to the cross. Isaiah 1vs18 confirms that. Vs10: If you say you have not sinned, you make him a liar and his word is not in you. Here, after you have been cleansed, if you begin to claim as if you never sinned in your life before you met God at the cross of calvary; then you make him a liar and his truth is not in you because HE in HIS WORD said all have #sinned (past tense) and come short of the glory of God. Brother, Apostle Paul said a veil covered the eyes of the children of Israel when the old testament was read to them. Even the disciples at a point did not know the (meaning) scriptures John 20vs9 until Christ opened their understanding in Luke 24vs45 so its not something you argue. If you don't understand seek advice and the best person to get it from is God. (I am not claiming to know but your ignorant points are making me to tell you what I feel. That's me. I am frank with my words). Its not too late to visit calvary and get start this perfection journey. The earlier the better. After that you can ask him to teach you the scriptures and you'll practically know whether HE still speaks to men.. I am out of this discussion sir. I am grateful for the time we spent here to sharpen each other.. We can still discus other issues here nut not this anymore.. GOD BLESS YOU ALL |

Was Ananias also an Apostle? Why did God tell him (in a vision) to send to Peter? Acts 10.. These things are rights or special privileges of children of God. And it shall come to pass afterwards that I will pour My Spirit upon all flesh, (Apostles and Prophets or church leaders alone right?); and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit.. Joel 2vs28,29.. Read Acts 2vs17,18.. See!! These privileges are exclusively reserved for God's children and if you ain't 1, you might doubt. You musn't be a prophet or apostle before you get these visions.. Stephen was a deacon (just a worker in the church who served tables) but when he was being martyred; his eyes opened and he saw Jesus in Heaven standing on the right hand of God (Acts 7vs56) What about another Deacon in the person of Philip? He was miraculously teleported from the Ethiopian Eunuch because he was a son.. Today we are still sons and we have these privileges. If God can't give us these i.e. God limits His manifestations in our time then He will also limit His demands of Holiness and Righteousness because He is the one that makes it possible.. Our only problem is that we want to use our natural knowledge to understand Spiritual things. These things don't work like that.. Happy Sunday and have a refreshing time in the presence of the ALMIGHTY.. Good morning 1 Like |

ihedinobi2: You interpreted wrongly!! Where was it written there that God don't speak to men anymore? After His Son died, how did we get Revelation since His Son has come and gone? Apostle Paul told the Galatians that He wasn't taught the gospel by man but He received it directly from God. Remember He was not a direct disciple of Jesus! Hê did even see Jesus face to face!! If those in the early church received messages from God through Angels, Visions, dreams, trance, direct word from The Holy Spirit and so on, and we can't receive that anymore then we should not be referred to as those who are part of the church. Understand spiritual things erh! Jesus Christ said THE HOLY SPIRIT will explain to us things written about HIMSELF; hw will the Holy Spirit explain to us if we are not communicating with HIM.. You don't have any option other than to believe GOD still speaks to man |

Ihedinobi2, you have a shallow understanding of the Bible and a vague spiritual perception. BELIEVE IT OR NOT BUT THESE ARE FACT. 1. No position or spiritual office has been retired. 2. Dreams and visions as well as those numerous ways I mentioned are still used as means of God communicating with us. Our problem is dat we don't argue to know! We claim we know everything and we can never change our belief even though our stand is not right. If we can change that, then we can argue right and learn new things which will be useful to our lives!!! FACT: GOD STILL SPEAK TO MEN TODAY |

Regarding your first question, there are many claims to that effect but they are very hard to verify. One can only verify their own experiences in this regard. So, I really cannot confirm or deny what someone says they have experienced with dreams and their being revelations. I personally have never had such a dream that came to pass. As to why I would not believe that anyone else today has had or could have, the reason is the same as my answer to your next question. I've not followed this from the beginning but from your few points, I believe you are saying God don't speak through dreams anymore.. God speaks in diverse ways sir. Until now, HE is still speaking and the ways HE spoke in time past are still ways in which HE is speaking today. HE speaks through some of these ways: 1. From the scriptures 2. That small still voice. 3. Through dreams 4. Through trance 5. Through tongues when the interpreter is there to interpret it. 6. Through word of knowledge 7. Through word of wisdom 8. Through prophecy.. The fact is that GOD is still speaking and if we yield ourselves to hear from God, he will still speak to us today.. |
