Christianity EtcRe: Mbaka Supporter Threatens To Kill Bishop, Peter Obi After Church Ban (Vid) by peggywebbs(f): 3:39pm On Jun 20, 2022
The best solution for the Catholic church is to transfer Father Mbaka to a South West State ... somewhere in a very remote village where they have these old members and are trying to develop. Suspension is not the solution, it seems he's been in that place for too long and the members are attached to him.

A very humble transfer is the only administrative solution to this problem.

My dear Nigerians please don't sell your vote come 2023. If you're lucky to survive this Buhari's government...you have not died of poverty, committed suicide, kidnapped, killed by herdsmen or accident. Please vote for a competent candidate.

Remember that if you sell your vote for 1000, 2000, or 5000...the person you're putting there will be earning millions monthly. Your 2k will finish that day, and you will suffer. We need someone that will fix economy now, restore Nigeria.

Please put aside your hatred for Igbos...we need Peter Obi not because he is Igbo but because we need someone who is competent. If you want your suffering to end, put aside your tribe, put aside political gain. None of this politicians rate you, you only get the crumbs at the expense of your suffering.


Please vote to save Nigeria, vote to save your life.
Christianity EtcRe: To All Theists, Present Your BEST Evidence For The God You Believe In by peggywebbs(f): 9:59pm On Jun 15, 2022
Na.. you don't get that kind of convinction from accuracy. But again I said it's a matter of time with you. I believe you will find a balance eventually. Some people have to go through things in life, make certain decisions but eventually it leads them to the truth. I'm sure in your quest for the truth, you will find enlightenment and you will eventually make your decision. It's all part of the healing process.

I don't believe you have found the truth you're looking for, I don't think anybody can take you to that truth but yourself. Some things will happen naturally not because they are forced but because they are meant to be. Eventually we will all have our stories to tell.. you can call it red pill blue pill...but eventually all leads to one reality and one truth.

LordReed:
I think the passion you speak about is one for accuracy of information which I had even as a Christian. However, as I gradually came to realise, religion doesn't thrive on accuracy of information, it survives by attempting to blur the lines between reality and the stories we tell ourselves. I had to admit to myself that what I believed did not match with reality, only if I wanted to keep telling myself stories to gloss over what is real would it make sense. It also occurred to me that it is much less cumbersome to live without the stories, to take the challenges as they come and engage myself instead of hoping on some ephemeral pie in the sky or an eternal battle with "unseen" enemies.

Possibly but I know people have different thresholds for pain. Some people are more resilient but I think most times they find their way back at their time. It might take a long while but they come back. That type of faith doesn't poof in thin air

Christianity EtcRe: To All Theists, Present Your BEST Evidence For The God You Believe In by peggywebbs(f): 10:08am On Jun 15, 2022
With that type of conviction I read from you on that thread...it takes more than just a simple I don't believe anymore. Anyway I know some things are too personal to share online.

But I'll tell you something, I sense something happened within the space of that three years. You know that there's a thin line between love and hate right?

When you love something so passionately like I felt all that emotion in your defenses. It takes just one single moment to turn all that love around hence your passionate angle on atheism. You defended Christianity passionately with the the same energy you are using on atheism today. It tells me only one thing about you.

I can sense you feel things deeply but I can also tell that in a couple of years you'll experience more in life and your views will change. So I'm not going to tell you to go back, but I'll tell you to heal. As long as it takes you, but make sure that you heal.


LordReed:
Well, what can I say but I used to believe and now I don't anymore.
Christianity EtcRe: To All Theists, Present Your BEST Evidence For The God You Believe In by peggywebbs(f): 7:13pm On Jun 14, 2022
@LordReed...what happened between 2012 to 2018?

I was reading on a topic on Nairaland and found old threads. Stubbled across the tongue speaking bible believing Lord Reed. What happened to him? What did he experience that took him away from the faith.

He made a promise, he said he would not back out any soon but in a space of 6 years he did. I want to call him back, I want to feel what he felt. I want to know what happened that forced such a change in such a short time. Maybe it's the empath in me but I want to because I can't understand.

LordReed:
Well since you believe that the Holy Spirit only helps you exude love that is all well and good. I have experienced more than that from the Holy Spirit and I doubt that will end anytime soon. If experiencing what was promised with the Holy Spirit (in the same bible no less) is wayo well so be it. My experience matches the scripture you and I believe, you may choose to attribute the works to a devil or whatever, I will hold on the promises of the Word.

Christianity EtcRe: Is Pressing Of Phones During Service Not An Affront On God by peggywebbs(f): 3:06pm On Jun 05, 2022
Me I don't believe it is. What if there's an emergency? You can save the live of someone, that's why it's a mobile phone. You carry it every where. What you do is up to you though. If you chose to play games, surf the internet or chat with a love interest, then you don't want to be part of the service you're attending.

Also, if the person next to you is complaining, that person is not serious either. If he's following the service and concentrating, he won't even notice if fly passes by.

coputa:
Many christians now form the habit of brownsing with their phones during church service. They never concentrate on the message given by the pastor,they are deeply grossly and focused on their phones doing one thing or the other,Is this not an affront on his creator.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Atheists Make Fun Of Religion? by peggywebbs(f): 6:27pm On Jun 04, 2022

That’s a great point .
How have you been going with your calling ? Peggy ?
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Atheists Make Fun Of Religion? by peggywebbs(f): 12:27am On Jun 04, 2022
You see whether you mock religion till the end of your lifetime it really doesn't matter to us. Those that will believe will believe and those who will remain doubtful will continue. However, you see what is certain is that we all we die one day and then, the truth will be revealed.

You won't be able to come back to nairaland to recount your experience and those alive will continue in their ways until their time. In fact, we will still have more people taking up your occupation mocking Christianity. You were not the first either.

Anyway, this is what I'll ask you. What if you find out you've been wrong all along? You don't get a do over. A wise person who doesn't believe in religion, we spend their days doing good. They will love those around them, care for them and when they go, people will talk of life like they were a religious person.

People who don't believe will and are wise will say, I'm not sure I believe but just in case it's all turns out true, I want to be on the right side with my good deeds. So re-evaluate yourself and decide which you prefer.. spending time insulting God, or people's beliefs or just been good and living a simple life?

We all have choices.


FatherOfJesus:
There are only two ways that a non-religious person can engage with a religious apologist. The first is to use logic, this approach fails fairly quickly because apologists won’t engage on the basis of logic. “You’ve just gotta have faith” etc. The other way is mockery or comedy. I, and most others would prefer to use the path of logic because it, and the scientific method, serves us so well in getting through life and understanding reality. But if we can’t, or apologists won’t, engage on that basis, then you get the amusement and laughing. If you don’t want your beliefs to be laughed at, then don't have laughable beliefs.

FamilyRe: My Uncle Wife Is Insensitive by peggywebbs(f): 2:02pm On Jun 01, 2022
Is it with 70k he wants to pay lawyer? Your uncle is a lazy man. My advise is you shouldn't follow in his steps. A lazy man with no busy schedule and has enough time to hear gossip about his wife's activities.

Please advise your uncle to find rent, if not he should get ready to pack out. In 2022, and people still reason like this. Mtchew


ReneJay:
Good day nairalanders. I want to seek your advice on behalf of my uncle.

Pardon me for any typographical errors. My uncle has been married to this lady for almost 16 years. They have two kids. According to his narration, the first five years of marriage was wonderful.

But things took a sudden twist later on. The wife has changed in both attitude and manners. The man is a civil servant and earns 70k monthly and his wife is a teacher. She earns 35k monthly.

The twist is, the wife has stopped supporting the man financially. In fact, anything she buys for the family or for the children, she asks for the money, even as little as spice cubes. My uncle had to report the matter to my father, his brother, after several years of enduring her strange attitude. My father called her to table the matter. She admitted the accusations. In her defence, she said it is the responsibility of the man (husband) to provide for the family. what broke my uncle's heart was the day the rent of their house was due, he hadnt pieced together the rent and was going about to seek loans from friends and family. He asked her if she knew who to loan from and she said she didn't know who to loan from. To his dismay, he got wind from a friend that his wife was looking for a piece of land to buy with God knows how and where she got the money from. She even told him she doesn't have a dime to add to whatever he's able to raise. He does everything in the house from A to Z.

He needs advice on what to do. Should he file for divorce and hope things would get Rosy enough to start afresh with someone else? Or should he call for a meeting with her family and our family to try to mediate and make her see reasons why she should be supportive?

Matured advice please.
Christianity EtcRe: If You've Been Filled With The Holy Spirit. Share Your Experience Here by peggywebbs(f): 11:36am On May 30, 2022
Hello

You can desire these gifts, as the bible rightly says but it is the Holy Spirit that decides which to give. If you can't speak now, it doesn't mean you can't have it.

However, what I'll say is discover your other gifts and use them to serve God. I couldn't speak before and I wasn't even interested. I recently asked for it and God gave it to me. I don't think anyone can give any valid explanation of how gifts are distributed but we all know that the moment you receive the Holy Spirit, a change comes.

There are 9 gifts that Paul mentions and I'm sure you have some already. Work with them and just keep asking, God sees your heart and he will give you that which you deserve.

Ficco:
Dear brethren,
I will like to know your experience on how you're filled with the Holy Spirit of God with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

I have been born again for a while and by God's grace growing gradually in the word. I have been longing to receive the outpouring of the Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues in my life. According to the word of God, I've learnt that one can achieve much and get lots of revelations by praying in spirit. I usually get tired when praying in my understanding and sometimes become lazy to pray. Our Lord Jesus Christ says that those that worship God must worship Him in spirit and in trust.

I have been prayed for and laid hands on for like twice by different men of God, however I'm yet to pray in tongues. I really admire those that pray in tongues and sincerely desire to pray in spirit also.

Kindly share your experience and how you were able to receive this heavenly gift and how fervently you prayed and desired it.

Thank you and God bless you.
Christianity EtcRe: Thank you all God bless by peggywebbs(f): 5:09am On May 23, 2022
Hope you're okay? I'm sure there are some really good times you've experienced. Everything is a phase, it will pass. I think you should reflect on the things you have and not what you've lost.

Re-evaluate yourself, try to do things differently. Sometimes the steps we take affects us. You don't need a university education to be successful.

I can't say much other than when you fail, you keep trying until it works out. God rewards hardwork and steadfastness.



IANAGI:
29 years on Earth nothing to show for it.
No achievement, no progress ever since I left secondary School of which is my highest level of education, nothing positive has ever happened to me. I couldn't complete my university, can't get job nothing is working it seems I came to the world to watch everyone move forward in live while I'm stagnated. I'm no longer praying for a better life or change of situation all I want God Almighty to do for me is take back the life he has given me I am not ungrateful the shame is just too much I have to isolate myself from everyone as my life is worthless to me. Lord Jesus Christ the most high God I beg for u to take back the beautiful life you have given to me as I can't commit suicide it's against your word.. take my life oh Lord so I can stop being an eyesore and disgrace to my family in Jesus precious name I pray Amen.
Christianity EtcRe: The concept of Elohim (God/gods) In The Bible by peggywebbs(f): 6:57am On May 19, 2022
Anti-christian what's your point. Allah is just Arabic for God. So do you expect to have more than one Arabic translation? Anyway for you to know God has many names, every tribe and culture have a name for God. The Eli, Elohim are Hebrew versions for God, one is singular, while the other is plural.

The Allah of Islam may be the same as God, but a misrepresented version of the eternal God. Anyway just serve your God your way and stop wasting time picking on other religions. Why don't you tackle Hinduism, and others. There are over 1500 religions in the world but every day your issue is with the Christian Bible.
FamilyRe: What Is The Benefit Of Marriage To A Man in this present time? by peggywebbs(f): 6:12pm On May 06, 2022
That's it..what do you mean by our present time? Has the meaning of love changed it's definition? Yes love like that exist? Unless you're saying love is out of this world.

We make choices and it's our choices that has led us to where we are. Love or marriage today has no meaning, no value. A marriage without love is doomed to fail.

To answer the question, I'll say what I said before, stop looking for benefits. Stop making finding a partner a mission. If it happens, it should happen naturally then you know if it is worth it. Marriage is not a project or a business venture.

BabaIbo:
Good, I like the angle you're coming from, but you failed to understand the question before answering it.... You missed the "IN OUR PRESENT TIME" in the question.
Now, ask yourself does the kind of love you stated in your response still exist.

Remember that kind of love is a sacrificial one OR let me say one with pain and not only enjoyment.

Both of us know a lot of people are complaining that the "for better for worse" part of the marriage vows should he removed, what does that tell you?

With all these in mind, one will be on the right course if he ask "what is in it for him..."
FamilyRe: What Is The Benefit Of Marriage To A Man in this present time? by peggywebbs(f): 12:45pm On May 06, 2022
The responses here is enough reason why divorce is rampant in our generation. How can someone start a topic, what is the benefit of marriage?

For one thing marriage is not meant to have any benefit, people shouldn't get married because they want to get something from the union. Women are not baby making machines either and men shouldn't feel obligated to get married.

However, marriage is one of the oldest institutions in the world. People were meant to marry for love, in fact people eloped to have secret marriages when the odds were against them.

If you're marrying because you want something out of it, you will be disappointed and you will leave your wife. If you stay, it would just be like sharing a house. When you decide that you want to marry, it means every part of you wants to be with that person, you don't want to share them with another. You're laying a claim on your love and letting everyone know that you chose that person. Well that's for genuine love.

But if you set out on a mission to find a life partner, well that's like every business contract. It will end, you will lose interest, you won't find its value because it didn't happen naturally. You decided okay I'm looking for a girl, I'm checking out her properties, can I wife her? All that is a project, what do you expect like any other business arrangement? You expect her to give you kids, care for your home cook and do the tumble.

No genuine love, nothing. Some people even marry for status. Some for the gram.. every minute a picture for the perfect family. Well that's a benefit for them. If you're marrying for anything other than love, im sorry you're in for a rough start.

Christianity EtcRe: Why Did God Created Us And Watch Us Sin And Die And Go To Hell Fire. by peggywebbs(f): 3:20pm On May 01, 2022
Another Sunday another day devil's instruments come to turn away the hearts of men from God. You see there's really no difference between the pastors and evangelists trying to convert people to Christianity and nairaland atheists. What they both have in common is aggressive soul winning.

So which side of history do you want to be:

The part that works tirelessly to let people know that life on earth is not entirely free but that we are all accountable to our Creator?

Or

That we are on our own, and even bigger than God, or that we don't need God.

If you spend every waking day with different monikers telling people that belief in God is unreasonable, then you've already become a prophet or Pastor for the devil. Your primary assignment is to turn people away from God.

You are not concerned about your faith but intend to take others along with you. That's recruitment. So what topic will it be next week? Shalom
Christianity EtcRe: All Church Denominations started, or Founded by Nigerians, are Fraud Centers. by peggywebbs(f): 9:27am On May 01, 2022
Why do you choose to remain a Catholic?

I choose to remain a Catholic because that's where I get an undiluted word of God. They don't try to mend scripture to fit a certain narrative. They teach the bible in its true meaning. I like that they are not for profit making and that preach salvation rather than prosperity. The embodiment of Catholic is living a life of holiness, asking for forgiveness and repentance. You only get to understand the true nature of God, the live of Jesus and the disciples through the Catholics.

Have you ever been a non-Catholic before?
Yes, I was non-catholic and born a non-catholic.

What was your experience like?

It was not a good experience, I won't mention the name of the churches for the sake of sanity. What I can say is they all had the same message, money. One was always talking about how they started a small church, moved to stadium and how millions of people were following them. Another was deceiving members to claim they will buy car and become millionaires. Another the service was like an event, everybody had like 5 to 10 minutes timeslot because they had to cover 5 church services on Sunday, so basically it was like marking attendance. I only had one experience, with one that was inspiring, and the message was what I really needed it. The truth was that most of them, their sermons targeting certain people probably to get funds who knows.

Why do you choose to remain a Catholic?

It may have had a chaotic history, but it is still the first church. The teachings as I have studied have not changed and they don't try to adopt new age practices or religion. A lot of people may disagree with them but since I've been a Catholic, I have experienced God in ways I never knew. I don't think I'll be be leaving Catholic church. Although I still attend other church programs, seminars and the rest. I believe the church of God is one. But I choose to remain Catholic to stay connected to the truth.

Christianity EtcRe: Newsyul Edochie: Polygamy Not Sin, God Approves It – Omokri Tells Nigeria by peggywebbs(f): 3:24am On May 01, 2022
I'll draw a line here. Even in law there's usually customary practices. Marriage ceremonies in Isreal and any other country was born out of customs. And not every account of their ceremonies or rites were documented in the Bible.

Don't even try going that route. The fact that the Bible is a Christian guide book, you should know there are thousands of other scriptural texts and historical facts not recorded in it. So what your question should be is researching how marriages were conducted and how vows originated. Like I said marriage is an earthly commitment.

We are expected to fill the earth and multiply. Where the bible comes in is our obligation to our partner, you're to treat with love and respect. For me I do not agree with polygamy ,but you can't use the bible to coerce me to stay put in that regard. It's a moral guide, yes but that doesn't mean I agree with everything in it.

The bible contains first the word of God, historical information, cultural practices and morals or philosophy. So when you try to put the bible in front of polygamy, it's like you're saying God commands it. When in essence it means man has always been polygamous, it was their custom to have multiple wives. So don't misrepresent it as an instruction from God or Jesus Christ. So you can't even bind me to the practices of the Isrealites even if God doesn't expressly condemn it.

AntiChristian:
Yes, your stance is clear i understand. Many Ladies like you share this stance.

My own is how biblical is it? How is marrying a new wife cheating/adultery?

The wedding Jesus attended in Cana, was any vow mentioned? Why imbibe a western culture as biblical when it favors you?

And lastly, if one of the spouse commits adultery (not marriage) then divorce is allowed. But where is remarrying permitted.

Bible verses from your research would be helpful here.
Christianity EtcRe: Newsyul Edochie: Polygamy Not Sin, God Approves It – Omokri Tells Nigeria by peggywebbs(f): 6:16am On Apr 30, 2022
As far as I'm concerned I'm making it clear from the get go..if you bring any woman, that's cheating, adultery and I'm getting a divorce settlement. To you it's polygamy, to me it's adultery, we made a vow to be together at the alter. Someone broke that vow.

As for remarrying, the bible doesn't speak against it. Forget what all those pastopreneurs say. In fact there are numerous scripture supporting divorce in the bible, and it lists its conditions. I'm not going into the details because I've done my research, and I've decided what works for me.


I don't have to stay with someone who cheats and disguises as marrying multiple women. I'm not a commodity and if a man has fallen out of love with his wife enough to bring another, I believe that relationship has reached its expiry date.

Like I said it's a human thing, there is no marriage in heaven, and nobody's going to hell because of a failed marriage.


AntiChristian:
So if he does marry another you'll get money and lots of it. How Biblical is this?
And After getting the money would you still marry another man or remain single forever as the Bible implies?

God did interfere many times in the affairs of man. That's why He destroyed the people of Noah, Pharoah, Sodom, etc.

And why does women hate multiple marriage from their husband than adultery/fornication from the same man?
Christianity EtcRe: Newsyul Edochie: Polygamy Not Sin, God Approves It – Omokri Tells Nigeria by peggywebbs(f): 10:55am On Apr 29, 2022
No that's not true, I've never and I never claimed at any point that the bible speaks against marrying more than one wife.

I only said I personally won't accept it. I'm not married and if I do, I won't stay in such environment, in fact I'm putting it in my prenup, if he brings another, I'm getting money and lots of it, and going off.

I'm not going to study those versions because I'm not going to agree with it, like I said God doesn't interfere in the affairs of man. The fact that the bible doesn't speak against it doesn't mean that everyone should agree with it. I don't, and that's why I'll choose the highway.


AntiChristian:
I know you won't as it's not the truth you want to embrace.
It's something that would shatter what you believe in and leave you with no option that to accept fate.

Sincerely how is it adultery to marry one more wife from the Biblical point of view?
Christianity EtcRe: Newsyul Edochie: Polygamy Not Sin, God Approves It – Omokri Tells Nigeria by peggywebbs(f): 9:27pm On Apr 28, 2022
Why? I don't have interest in this topic anti-christian. I'm a bible believing Christian that supports divorce and can't live in a forced situation. Anyone that wants to more should go o... its not by force. It's adultery, and a good ground for divorce.

Christianity EtcRe: Newsyul Edochie: Polygamy Not Sin, God Approves It – Omokri Tells Nigeria by peggywebbs(f): 11:49am On Apr 28, 2022
There's something I always say and most people may disagree with me but it's my opinion. God does not always interfer in the affairs of man. I personally don't think that God is concerned about marriages but I believe God is more concerned about how we treat the people around us. So this goes with the saying love your neighbor as yourself.

You can't have two or more wives and treat them equally. They can't all feel loved. Even if it satisfies the man, it isn't fair on women. Many women who have stayed in such marriages do so in obedience to their husband, culture or for their kids. It's never what they want, how would you feel if the roles were reversed, a woman decides to have more than one husband. Now, that's controversy.

So I'm not arguing about scripture but on moral grounds, how do you love your partner, if you decide she is not enough for you. What if she feels you're not enough for her, and chooses to bring in another man, will you stay?


AntiChristian:
I still see no excuse against Polygamy here except that some practicing it are not doing it fairly. Those in monogamy are not doing fairly too and that doesn't make it bad.

Polygamy truly brings most if not all those evils you highlighted but where does your "Christianity" comes in as regards spite, jealousy, resentment,.....

I blame the guy for not marrying earlier, commiting adultery, etc.
Christianity EtcRe: Newsyul Edochie: Polygamy Not Sin, God Approves It – Omokri Tells Nigeria by peggywebbs(f): 8:41am On Apr 28, 2022
Polygamy is not a sin but the truth is you can't love two people equally. If you're bringing another in, the love will diminish. It's like buying a new car. You won't have much time with the old one but rather show off your new ride.

You may even contenplate selling it off. So polygamy isn't great. It breeds spite, jealousy, resentment and many bitter feelings in the home. Children suffer it more because they always have to compete for attention. I'm really disappointed in Yul, because he should know better. We claim our generation is enlightened and we strive not to make the mistakes people did in the past. But here we are, repeating history's mistakes.

I guess people never really change, we continue to live in a never ending cycle of dysfunction.
Christianity EtcRe: Pastor Ade Abraham Charges Congregation ₦310,000 Each To 'Fly Them To Heaven' by peggywebbs(f): 8:19am On Apr 26, 2022
Stop defending what you don't know. This has happened before in one African country recently. A pastor told them the same thing and the members were locked up in the church and the place burned. All of them died, people couldn't get to them on time. Nobody knew if the pastor burned along with them or found a back way out.


VoteTinubu2023:
Sahara Reporters' notoriety for fake news is making me doubt this story.

The Pastor might have spoken to his congregation metaphorically and not denotatively like Sahara Reporters is reporting. Since the Pastor is relocating from Kaduna to Ekiti. Out of desperation to retain the members of his church, he could have promised his congregation a lot of spiritual gains if they decide to follow him down to Ekiti.

This is just a theory. I don't know the Pastor neither do I stay in Kaduna or Ekiti.


By the way : Remember to Vote Tinubu 2023.

God bless Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Christianity EtcRe: I Am Not A Demon But Had To Pretend To Be One. by peggywebbs(f): 4:44pm On Apr 25, 2022
The pastor must have really liked whoever this person is. He helped him deceive the members, more business. However, he also aided in the sin, deceiving people, I don't know which one is worse.

It's better you just leave these things alone than faking it, because at the end of the person misses their chance to experience real miracles. They have successfully convinced themselves it isn't real and well they won't bother accepting anything that comes real. They'll still think everything is an act. I hope whoever that is, they find God even outside miracles, I think people experience God in different ways, so I can't judge.
Christianity EtcRe: An Encounter With A Man Of God In A Dream by peggywebbs(f): 11:37am On Apr 25, 2022
Nothing in life comes easy. I remember somewhere I saw, "A man of vision is a mad man until the vision is fulfilled". Your dream obviously meant you have a gift in music and to minister through praise and worship.

Now if you want it to be heard, I don't think you need a sponsor. Start like every successful music writer or musician has started. You learn music, the cheapest way is to join a choir. Hone your skills there, you have access to musical instruments in church, where you can work with others who understand how musical instruments work. Learn and then you probably will get to understand how music works. Last time I checked, music writers only need to write songs, and sell them to make money.

I don't think you have to pay for a music studio or spend money doing anything. Promote what you do by letting people know you write songs. Since it's gospel music your best bet is church. You can write for upcoming artists who want to sing but don't have songs. I don't think you'll make money immediately but with time, it would pay off. I really don't think you need a sponsor for creativity, it speaks for itself.


Ayesolve:
My name is Ayebagbalinyo Opuene, I am 25years old. From BAYELSA STATE.
I had an encounter with a man of God in a dream. Before then , I don't use to go-to church often (not committed in serving God).
I attend Salvation Ministries,
I go church once or twice in a three months.

I had this encounter in year 2020 during the Lock down period (corona virus pandemic period). I am student in the university of Calabar, so due to the lock down we went for break. Even during that period I don't pray or do go to church.

If I can remember in the month of MAY, me and my younger brother were discussing in our boys room after that I wept off.

Then I saw myself walking all of a suden I saw Pastor David Ibiyeomie (G.O of Salvation Ministries) from afar and I ran after Him, He was in my community in the dream, he was (Pastor David Ibiyeomie) about to enter into a super market, before I could reach Him, he as already entered into the supermarket. so I shouted papa papa I have written a song on one of the messages you preached.
He turned and look at me and throw money to me and said that I should pick up the money, all I was shouting was " papa papa I have written a song on one of the messages you preached". Then He (Pastor David Ibiyeomie) Look at my face and said to me "YOU SHALL MAKE IT" He asked me to say AMEN to it.
As I said Amen to what He said. The phase of the dream changed.
I saw myself walking down the street with His Wife (MRS PEACE IBIYEOMIE). She was asking now that you have written the songs what are you going to do with them, As I was about to reply Her, I now woke up from my sleep.

I was surprised to see A man of God in my dream and His Wife in thesame dream, Me that is not even going to church often.
To be honest I prayed about the dream I had (for a long time I have not prayed like that)

Something in me was disturbing and telling me that This dream is not ordinary.

So I went to the backyard of our house and I prayed to God that "if this dream is from you give me a song" before the dream I have written only one song. and I was not that serious with it.
After I prayed that prayed to my greatest surprise "I got two new songs from that very instant".
From that day till now I am getting songs at ease. I have gotten over 200 (Two Hundred) gospel songs.

But I have not recorded any in a music studio which makes me feel discouraged anytime I got a new song.

I tried to stop writing songs due to no sponsor but Anytime I try to stop I don't have this peace of mind.

Please have you had a similar case Like me and how do you handled it
