(1)would free up funds for other public services,

they should ask the president, where are the funds for other public services coming from, since deregulation has imparted on private businesses and the public sector by way of increase fuel price and transportation hike for domestic goods and services thereby trunkating the economy and exchange rate?

Was he not suppose to set up strategies to cushion the effects of subsidy removal before embarking on deregulation like a mad man who done smoke moroko on winning election?

He must be a very stupid man.
He should just wait for the consequences of his ignorance.

Yes

If Adeboye, Oyedepo, Olodola and the rest were actually doing well in terms of teaching the gospel rightly without the influence of traditional beliefs and doctrines, they will not get any criticism from anyone

What a recovery.


But I am anti protest, I support the call for stopping the protests, let's give Tinubu more time to work. It's too early to protest.

No time for nonsense, he can't continue to deceive us.
Pending on when we will start seeing positive indices to show that he is truly working, we are going to protest

MaxInDHouse:
Read Daniel 2:44 and explain what you read!

So, how is he going to take his spiritual brothers home and rule the earth at the same time?

MaxInDHouse:
Well it's not a figure of speech Jesus has become a mighty Spirit King and just as he appears in the cloud to talk to Paul {Act 9:3-5} that's the same way he will do when he comes to take his spiritual brothers home!

I thought you jw said Jesus will come and destroy all human governments and set up his own government to rule the earth?

StillDtruth:
That is your wish and delusion talking for when Jesus Spoke figuratively, we all saw them but in this one nothing that indicates a figure of speech can be inputed. But only you with your love for lies, wishes and delusions create such imaginations.

When you start dreaming of how you will fly into the sky someday, are you not the one being deluded with unrealistic wish like that?

Keep dreaming

StillDtruth:
Does common sense not tell you that this on the cloud moment is only for those who are alive at the time and day of His Coming?

No!
Common sense tells me that i should read the whole scripture and understand that THE CLOUDS was a mere figure of speech, not necessarily the clouds in the sky

MaxInDHouse:
Paul and other BORN AGAIN Christians will be turned into spirits by the time Jesus return to take them to heaven.
They are not going there with human bodies

how is this different from death?

We often see this in nollywood fictional movies.
When someone dies we see his spirit that has felt his body flying in the clouds

Church boys just dey dull themselves

Na yahoo boys Una go get lasun!!

GanagiBitrus:
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

so shall we ever be with the Lord in the clouds?

Can humans live in the clouds?

Someone sometime ago came to me preaching the second coming of Jesus that it will happen soon.

I said to him, you are very right .

I then ask him, are you willing to die soon?
Because this same coming of Jesus implies when we die.

Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

He said he is not willing to die, not soon.

But you are preaching that Jesus is coming soon as if you want him to come soon?

He said no, no...

No what?

He said i don't want to die..

I laughed.
Please go and look for work to do

Why are those females in the video still putting clothes like house maids to church?

What is true about that if not falsehood like gender suppression ?

https://dailytrust.com/hunger-protest-tinubus-govt-needs-more-time-oba-of-benin-tells-nigerians/

if I have the opportunity to ask the Oba questions, i will ask him, what are the economic policies he is talking about?

1. For more than one year of his administration now, bandits are preventing farmers and nothing has changed
2. He announced removal of subsidy at the time the economy was still fragile, who does that?
3.Now, he is paying 13% minimum wage increment like mumu, after damaging the economy to N1500/dollar

All these rubbish happens just a period of one year and you are talking about economic policy?

Is that how to do economic policy?

vanitybutiwanti:
where was the so called God when wike rigged fubara in? All of a sudden fubara is a Saint?

why will Wike want to rig his own into power at the end of his tenure?
Only a dubious minded person does that

There is no God in politics especially Nigerian politics, get that into your skull, fubara worshipped wike for 8 years and in that time he acquired choice properties all over the world from being an ordinary civil servant. Is it not the same fubara that has made pronouncement that he fed house of assembly members and paid their children's school fees, that they are ungrateful, imagine if an individual did the same thing he did to wike , how would he have reacted? Because he paid ordinary school fees, he feels those guys should worship him?

hmm!
So, they should worship Wike that went to worship an APC idiot all because of ministerial appointment?

Come to think of it,
You are in PDP
your current master is APC
You still want to grab power in PDP while serving an APC master and you think that wount backfire ?

what kinda stupid politics are you playing?
Is that not mumu greed?

And now you are giving Rivers people the room to think that you want to single handedly hand over Rivers politics to the APC idiot at the Federal.

Are you that stupid?

See, no sensible governor who has his people at heart will accept that rubbish from anyone

I'm surprised it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that Nigerians are hypocritical dafft illiterate,

is that why Wike is taking advantage of their illiteracy to be doing rubbish assuming it is true that everyone in Rivers are illiterates as he thinks?

e go surely backfire now, no matter how daft he thinks the people are

that's exactly why the politicians keep rigging elections, they don't trust brainless zombies to be logical while electing a representative for a political position, the bulk of the population is daft, bereft of common sense and quick to believe propaganda

good!

Let Wike keep taking advantage of that and keep fulling himself thinking that he can fool everyone

We will see how his rubbish will end.

Someone who stated well, and when he ends his good tenure he started doing rubbish

If Nigeria is a serious country, that Ahmed Farouk should be arrested.

From there the government should fish out those who are sabotaging the economy and use them as scape goat.

Martinez39s:
Long time, bro. Paxonel, the laughable and unserious romancer of the Christian religion.

actually, it is religion that is not serious and laughable but always teaching unrealistic dogma

Are you not the Christian who doesn't believe in an afterlife?

check my third statement below. That answers your question

Paxonel the Christian atheist.

no one can serve two masters at a time

StillDtruth:
Identity as in how?

How much more identity do you.need when you see men shooting at your car to stop you when you are travelling?

Are these men suppose to be the devil?

In a sane world, government protects it citizens against these excesses. But in Africa, the failures of government is now the devil

David0002:
A lot of us are going through this problem or addiction, but they don't know how to stop it and it has affected their lives. What are my talking about, I am taking about Masturbation and watching pornography.

To tell you the truth, this is the most common addiction that has affected billions of people worldwide. This is a global problem. No religion is exempted from it.

I cannot start discussing what I do not know, because this is what I was into for a very long time. I was so addicted to this terrible sin. I first started with the sin of watching pornography, later in life, I graduated into masturbation.

Let me give you a brief story. When I was still young and innocent, not up to 10 years old if I am not mistaken, I and my siblings vistited a friend's house in the next street after our own. When we went to his house, there was light. He said he wanted to put something for us to watch. So he put the CD plate, because by then, internet where you can access pornography was not common as of then. Little did I know that it was pornography that he wanted to put on. So when he put it on, I started watching after watching it, my innocence was taken away and the spirit of pornography entered me.

From that moment, I wanted to know more and watch more pornography. I became addicted to it at a tender age. Any money that enter into my hand, I will rush to the market to buy the CD plate. Yet they will sell it to me no matter how young I was. For more than 20 good solid years, I was addicted to pornography. It became worst when the internet came out. I can now watch it easily without going to buy the CD plate again.

It was in the year 2018 that I graduated to masturbation. I had been watching where they do masturbate and I wanted to try it out my self. After series of trials, I mastered the evil art. Infact no day passes without me masturbating. I masturbate 3-4 times in a day. As I was watching the pornography, I will be masturbating at the same time.

After masturbating, I will be weak, hungry, filled with guilt, regret and remorse. But to stop it became a problem infact it affected me. I started looking for solution. I prayed, fasted, went for deliverance, cried, did a lot of things. But after all these things, I will still go back to pornography and masturbation.

It was until I read a book. After reading the book, I applied what I read in the book. The spirit of masturbation and pornography Left me immediately and the spirit of God took over my life. I tell you the truth, from that moment up till now I have not masturbated, I have not watched pornography, God has been keeping me by His spirit. Let me tell you the truth, I paid dearly for these evil act and I am still kind of paying the price now. Every sin has its consequences.

Watching pornography and masturbation is a terrible sin before God. Let me tell you the truth. As you masturbate, you are opening a portal or a gateway for demons to possess and afflict you. Infact, as you masturbate, you are having sexual intercourse with demonic spirits. You have welcomed evil spirits into your life and hear this truth, for these spirits to leave you becomes a problem.

Watching pornography and masturbation has terrible consequences. You may not see it now, but when the problems associated with it manifests, be ready to face the consequences.

Many of you reading this are still watching pornography and masturbating. You do this, yet you call yourself a Christian, yet on Sunday, you go to church. Hear this truth, many church workers, choir, ushers, instrumentalist, pastors, pastors wife, single and married are under this addiction of pornography and masturbation.

You may have tried so hard to stop it, but it is not yielding any result. You may have stopped it for 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, even up to 1 year, after, you relapse or go back to it.

Don't you know that masturbation has terrible consequences. You call it 'pleasure' don't you know you are destroying your body which is the temple of God. Anybody that destroy the temple of God, God will destroy him. It is the bible that says it, not me. I want to ask you brother, sister, why are you polluting your spirit and body with this terrible sin, don't you know that masturbation can affect your sexual health, it can lead to premature ejaculation in men, masturbation can damage your reproductive organ, oh yes. It can lead to near impotency. It can lead to erectile dysfunction. It can make your organ not to function as it is suppose to function, it can reduce your sexual hormones and bring it to near Zero. As a man, watching pornography and masturbation can make you be seeing women as sex objects and nothing more, among other things.

It is only Jesus that can save you, He has the power to break the yoke of masturbation and watching pornography from your life. I repeat again, He has the power to break the yoke. All you have to do is to go to Him in sincerity and cry out to Him to help you.

Go to him in prayer. I prefer you do it with fasting. Tell God how it is doing you, tell Him what you are passing through. Tell Him all that is in your mind. Bare everything open before Him. Don't hide anything from Him. Tell Him that you really want to stop this evil act. He is there with you, and He hears you. Confess it before Him, He will forgive you, cleanse you and give you the power to overcome this evil addiction once and for all, just as He did it for me.

Next, wow never to indulge in it again, because the temptation must surely come again. Satan will try all means to lure you back and to make you think you cannot stop it. Let me tell you the truth. If I can stop it, you can stop it too. All you have to do is to resist the devil in the name of Jesus, and he will flee from you. Shalom.

Happy Sunday to you all.

the only thing you have said through out this your long talk that make masturbation a sin is that it makes you hungry and weak.

Is being hungry and weak suppose to be a sin against God?

You still leave Christians in confusion and ambiguity about the identity of the devil inspite all the long write up and semon

Actually, what is prayer?
Prayer is simply your heart desire which must be backed up with atleast a little effort from you plus luck to achieve that your said desire.

The only thing God does to your prayer is to give you life, so that you can achieve your desire.
He does not do any miracle.

Not that he cannot do miracle, he does not do miracle, so get the difference.

So when your pastors are telling you lies in church that it was God that did it for you, come and give testimony in church, they want to reap where they did not sow

Imagine the blattered lies.

All these your African myths, you Africans will never wake up to reality

RealityKings:
This morning around 5am, I decided to go to church. When it was morning proper I was so determined. I went and had my bath and dressed up and this unusual rush was in me.

On my way, I saw alot of people heading to church. Some on foot, some on bike, taxi or private cars. Obviously, life is beautiful regardless how difficult it may seem. Seeing alot of people with our eyes gives hope.

But one thing that bothers me and I kept thinking about is, "why do we pray"? or "why do we have to pray"?
My question or thought may seem simple but then it's an innocent thought after all.

For the past 100 years before I was born, people from all kinds of religion have been praying. And here I am now in 2024, in this age and time, I am praying.
It appears we are all saying the same prayers over and over again.
Our prayers revolves round just 1 factor, "needs" and "solving a problems"...

Is it that God doesn't know what the problems or needs will be before creating this system?
Why do we need to pray? Even when these prayers are not answered. I'm just thinking,

You keep saying a prayer and working towards it and nothing happens. You start to see yourself as a nuisance keeping others awake through the night
Your neighbor will even tease you in the morning with "Oga prayer worrior afadura jagun".

First of all, what is prayer?

AdeCityzen:
Yes, unless your understanding of the requirement is strange in my view of the dogma

This is what i know to be the requirements :
1. That you must be a baptized and confirmed catholic
2. You must confess your sins to the Priest
3. You must believe in transubstantiation(ie the bread substance as the body of Christ)
4. You must observe the Eucharist fasting
5. That you are not under excommunication

For No 2 above, what if from the look of things you didn't sin at all, is it necessary that you must go to the priest to confess something before knowing that you are ready for it?

Because one cannot tell when he or she has fallen into sin

AdeCityzen:
No, i'm always ready for it.

like, you always fulfil all the requirements or you know that you are forgiven in spite that you did not fullful some of the requirements?

ocnovakmichael:
Sometime ago, the Lord gave me an illustration on this issue.

The Lord said to me: if you go to a wedding banquet, before the ushers starts the distribution of food and drinks, the groom gets up an make the following announcement, "This wedding food and drinks is prepared for those who came prepared and well suited with the wedding attire recommended in the invitation."

The question is: what do you think those in attendance with or without the recommended attire of the day would feel?

Even those who put on the right attire might feel threatened to participate in the distribution of the food and drinks because they don't want to be publicly embarrassed.

That is exactly what is going on in the minds of many Catholics during the communion. After that announcement is made, some might mutter under their breath, "Am I really prepared?" Some will sit back on the pew because they're afraid.

The mass is a feast. The Bible says in the book of Isaiah:

Isaiah 25:6
[6]And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.


The mountain in that text is the church.


I write this for many to think and re-think again.

You that is responding on the contrary, think about how many times you have been held back while others go to the altar to receive the communion. You sit on the pew and condemn yourself because of your sins and faults when God has forgiven you after you've asked for mercy: for He says, "let us come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help."

I am a Catholic, I've been in that situation countless times. If you say you haven't been in that situation, then you're not telling the truth.

You see, we've all sinned, and when we ask for God's mercy he says He is faithful and just to forgive us. And after we are forgiven, then we are made righteous again before God. And as such, fit to receive the communion: because if you're good to fellowship with God, then you're good to receive all that He presents in that fellowship.

1 John 1:3
[3]That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

You have said it all.

But the question i was going to ask is, what if a catholic takes the communion when he or she is not fully prepared, what will happen?

Will the communion turn to poison or some spiritual misfortune that is making them scared to go and receive it in the first place?

Dtruthspeaker:
hahahaha! You think because i am anticatholic therefore, i am protestant? Real spoken like a true catholic! You hid that fact well. I had no hint you were catholic until this thread, Last year i think when you spoke about going to mass, i thought you were just moving there. But, now it is clear you go to mass regularly hence your delusions and semi.atheism!

With all these you should know that i was catholic, (of a sort because God helped me keep my head and in my house we house we have both catholics and what you people call protestant and i got to see. that between the sides, they agree that the bible was greater and better, so i held it above my 'Missal" and "simple prayer book' and "bulletins" and rosary.

And every question i have asked catholics here, i have asked every catholic that feels he knows God and the bible eg legion of mary, charismatic renewal people, even priests and they all run away or pleading the "in the cathiolic church thing" which clearly means that you have no reasonable support or connection with God and the bible but just a "Your house, your rules" thing!

But any way, i can be proven wrong if any catholic could answer.the question the op asked to wit

1) "Does it mean God did not hear our prayers for mercy? (at the begining of the mass or.furing the mass or the one just before the communion is given)

2) Does it mean God hears only the confessions we make before the Priest?"

And we understand if no catholic, not even your pope is able to answer this question!

you certainly have nothing to do with the right answers to the op question.
They cannot edify you.
At it stands right now nothing works in your brain, so nothing can help you
