Jydeguy,

I have doubted words spoken by man, but not when such words reflect what I know God can do. If you are older than Pastor Adeboye or maybe his mate, then it is rather unfortunate looking at your words in your post.

Concerning the question if I have ever spoken ill of satan. I guess anyone that reads your post can actually tell who are and why you got so angry that Pastor Adeboye was giving glory to his father in heaven by his testimonies.

You can go ahead and speak good of satan, but time will tell someday.

Jydeboy or whatever,

It is quite unprofitable trading words with you. The bible says, by thier fruits, you shall know them. it is bovious who you are by the words of your mouth. Whatever your opinion is concerning Pastor Adeboye, it is useless and worthless because God knows those who are His.

Nobody is worshipping man here, but give honour to whom honour is due. Pastor Adeboye is old enough to be your father, so I do not see any reason why one should come out with insults on him on a public forum like this. Whatever testimonies he has giving is to the glory of His father in heaven, so what is the problem with it. Why use such words on him. Even Jesus ate with sinners and never condemns any one, so why won't he relate with Obasanjo. Mind you, he was never involved in the acts nor politics of Obasanjo. Even Jesus was found amongst sinners but was never a sinner nor commited any sin. Mind you, the bible says "WITH God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE". So, none of his testimonies is difficult for God to do. Even if you choose not to believe him, at least believe the fact that God can do all that he has testified of and give glory to God rather than all these vain words. May God have mercy.

If my son fails to abide to simple rules and regulations of where he finds himself, then he should be held liable for whatever outcome is.  This country is like this today because every body have become so disobedient to rules and regulations of this country. The country is getting worse each day because people feel they can break laws and just get away with it.   There is a popular saying, when you go to Rome, behave like a Roman. A student can decide to dance raggea, toss the whole girls in the universe or whatever he/she desires when he/she is outside the walls of that school, but I think once you are within the walls of that school and you know the rules and regulations, you have been warned severally and all sorts, it is good for such a student to live with some sort of caution.  Bishop Oyedepo is not a wicked man to expel those student just for that reason as claimed by the reporter.  It is not compulsory that anyone should accept the school, its rules and regulations.  But one thing is sure, the school has a standard and is not ready to compromise its standard.  Like I earlier said, though Jesus came for the good of man, yet was criticized and not accepted by all. The school did not force anyone into it.  If anyone so much cherish all the so called freedom of this and that, use of phones and all sorts, then such a one should not in the first place seek or accept admission into the school.  Secondly, the so called JAMB is not a true test of knowlede as we know in this country. CU holds their own exams/test & other admission screening exercises, so I think they can decide to admit students based on such performances which they know is true test of the students knowledge. However, they also have a JAMB cut-off point with which they consider such admissions and the student must fulfill the required 5 credits as applicable to the course of study.  Infact those who were admitted on the basis of awaiting WAEC/NECO result and who did not meet the 5 credits requirements, their admission were withdrawn and their acceptance fees/schools fees already paid refunded to such affected ones.  This goes to tell us the standard of the school.  There is nothing wrong if you discipline yourself for a while by obeying known rules and regulations just to get what you want and if it turns out that you get shapened by the lifestyle of the school, fine and better.  That is the TOTAL MAN concept of the school.  Everything in life is not just the academic qualification, but it is about being a TOTAL MAN in every spheres of life.    Please I will plead that CU should be left alone to go by its standard.   Mind you, even with God, no man breaks the law and go free for life. There is a day of judgement and reward which could be pleasant or unpleasant.  I desire the best for my son and I do not have to rethink.

Jydeguy and co,

Jesus prayed a prayer on the cross and that is exactly the same prayer I am praying for you.

"Father, forgive them for they know not what they are doing (saying)"

You are a confused and lost humanbeing.

I am a parent and my son was involved in this no bible issue. However, he was not expelled. The students that were expelled (if at all the story is true) were those who had past records of acts of indiscipline with several warnings. Secondly, as much I know in this Nigeria, good things are never appreciated, so I am not surprised that a lot of people are criticising the University. Even our Lord Jesus was not accepted.

I know, the rules and regulations of the university was spelt out to all students and parents/guardians. No one was forced to have his or her ward in the university. Nigerians should be able to inculcate discipline and obeying simple rules and the country will be better. PLEASE LEAVE COVENANT UNIVERSITY ALONE

There are cases where no child exist in a past relationship, yet the duo still maintains an intimate relationship. Also, a relationship that had lots of sweet memories and there came up a break without very hurt feelings, there is the likelihood that any physical contact between the two could bring back old good memories and intimacy.  Infact, the instances are much. 

However, in this case, I guess the issue here like a poster pointed out is not that the husband has a child from a past relationship, but the intimacy between the husband and the ex.  Actually, is it quite difficult to break a cord between them where the seperation was not as result of a severe hurt feelings and also, when the ex is not inlove or married to someone else. It is unsafe to go into marriage with a guy or lady with a child from a previous relationship except where either of the ex is (re)married.   I am sure the situation wouldn't have been like this if the mother of the child (the ex) is truely inlove and married to somewhere else.

Just keep praying about it and like previously advice, speak to your husband.  If possible, speak to the other lady and express your fears to her (that is if you have a good relationship with her).

I am not in support of a divorse.  Marriage is for the better and the worst as long as there is no threat to life.  Get God to take control in your marriage.  He is the only one that makes the bitter marriage sweet if invited from the heart.  Seek God for divine counselling.

May God help you.

I actually feel for the poster and I guess you love your wife to have stayed for 5 months without sex.  I give you the kudos for that.  However, I will encourage and advice you not to venture into the act of adultery for whatever reason.  Though I do not know the religion he belongs to, but speaking religiously as a christain, it is against God to commit adultery under any circumstances.  

Also, I think you should discuss with the wife and find out why the new turn-out of things as regards to sex.  Find out her fears, challenges and problems as regards to sex.  Make the relationship more spicy with a lot of fun, love, care and handling, etc.  Gradually put her in the mood unknowingly and before you know, both of you are in the act.  Do not start straigth given her the idea that it is all about wanting to have sex.  I tell you the truth, you may not know or understand what she might be going through in this condition.  For some women, it is not easy at all.  The worst thing you can do to her now is cheating on her because, she needs all your attention, care and love.  Going into any other relationship will mean less care, attention and all sorts.

Marriage is for better for worse, she was always there for you before now and this is not her fault or making of hers that she should be in this condition or feel the way she is feeling now.  Like a poster said, if you find yourself in whatever situation(which is not primarily of your making) that hinders you temporarily from fulfiling this obligation to your wife for a period of time(may be as long or longer than this), will you justify her if she commits adultery against you.  Do not allow yourself to be a tool against your marriage.  Responsibility and decency is in the inside of a man and I want to believe you are a responsible and decent man.   Talk to your wife, find out her probelms, challenges, get your doctor to talk to her if need be and try and be understandable with her and show empathy.   Most importantly, if you really love your marraige and do not want to defile your marriage, talk to God about it and I am sure, there will be a better way out of it.  Do not let yourself into the trap.  Man may not see, but God sees.

Revelation 2: 22
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.  (you may not be alive to repent of this sin becomes to man knoweth the secong, minute or hour of his death moreso, when the enemy ahs achieved his wicked deed in the life of a man)

Exodus 20: 14
 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

Proverbs 6: 32
 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

Matthew 5: 28
 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

In all we do in life, we should be guided by the Word of God.  What does it profit you to  have a fling and loose your soul.  You have been warned this day by the word of God, neglect it not.  I am sure you know these verses, this is only to bring them to your remembrance once again.  May the good God help you and continue to be a loving husband to your wife.

God is the  revealer of all truth.  I suggest that all you are confused about this issue should sincerely seek God in prayer with this special request and I believe God whose desire is to see everyone of us make heaven will reveal the truth to such one.

Please, we should desist from making blasphemy statements.

I am very sure it griefs our GOD when he listens to some things we say or think.  Like others have pointed out, marraige is not for the sole purpose of making children and also, though child(ren) in a home is desireable in all marraiges, it is also not a guarantee for a happy married life.

At the look of the creation of the earth and its fullness, God created man (Adam), all animals male and female.  When He looked at Adam, God said in Gen. 2:20 "but for Adam, there was no help meet for him" This HE also emphansized in Gen 2:18. God ordained marraige for the sole purpose of companionship and providing a help meet for the man acknowledging the Godly responsibilites and duties placed on the man.  He gave Eve as a help mate to Adam.  This purposes the responsibility of all wifes to be help meets to and for their husbands' success in all (Godly) endeavours, in the face of all cicumstances.

When God purposed to give Adam a wife, if children was the basis of joy in the home or a criteria for being together, I believe God would have created children along side the same way He created Adam and Eve.  God said that the man and the woman shall become one.  Children were never part of this bond.  This tells us that there is a purposed bond between a man and his wife with or without children according to the will of God.  

The issue of increasing and multiplication is not only in child bearing.  It is in all the good blessings of the Lord, both spiritually and otherwise to the Glory of His name and children is only but one of it.

If the woman is God fearing in serving the Lord truthfully, she should not yield to the lies of the serpent enticing her with marraige.  She should stand firm in what she believes in her God.  As for the man, he should remember our GOD is a terrible God in wrath and a consuming Fire.  

Also, I need to point out that what is deisred in a home is joy and love, not happiness.  Children can only give happiness just like every other thing such as money, affluence, etc.  But joy comes from knowing, serving the Lord faithfully and abiding in His presence and He is our strenght in the face of trails and tribulations even in the fight against in-laws, etc. (if any) over issues of child bearing.  After all, there are homes with numbers of children, yet no happiness, strife rains in such homes and divorces in some cases, why didn't the presence of children prevent all these even the divorces.

Talking about ladies pasts, condenming their wombs and running to church.  If God should count the iniquity of man, even you as a man will not be able to impregnant a lady.  So who are we to condem any one be it male or female.  Remember, HE said in the book of Jeremiah "I am the GOD of all flesh, is there anything too hard for him to do" Remember, with God, nothing shall be impossible.  If both couples now truely serve the Lord and abide to HIS words,  He can make the dead womb come back alive, the fruitless womb fruitful.  He has the spare  to all our body parts. We should not apply our fleshy wisdom, but seek the wisdom of God in handling all issues.  

Also, all the issue of culture and family pressure, it is better to disobey all in order to obey the word and the instructions of God.  On the judgement day, neither culture nor your family will stand for you.  The word of GOD says if any part of you will make you sin and loose your soul, cut it/them off.  What does it profit a man to have the whole children, please his family and culture, then at the end, loose his soul.

We should desist from mis-interpreting and mis-applying the Word of God.  Remember, the book of Gen. 1 said "----and the WORD was GOD.   BE WARNED.

All those with wrong knowledge of maariage will seek divine counselling from GOD their maker before getting marriage and even those that already are can still seek HIM for counselling.

God bless us all in Jesus name, Amen.

Hi. #landers,

na wa for una. No body even asked any question or tried to know why the submissiom of names and phone numbers, all of you just followed the train without any enquiry.

I am not saying it is not meant for good, but at least, I expected someone to enquire why the request of those information. Even our brother that did, never waited to know why before joining "his brothers".

All the same, I wish you all the best in the fair.
