The British did not intend to give up colonization, youth like you fought for our independence. High school kids fought for independence in South Africa, many of them were killed but they never deterred they fought till they got their independence.
Presently in the United States, high school kids are protesting and bringing up debates on gun control. They are making attempt at what seems impossible and at the end of the day, no matter the outcome, they made an attempt.
If we want our country to continue to be like this, we can sit down, fold our hands and make excuses.
The wedding itself is the Traditional wedding. You can go to the registry to get a legal document backing the union, any other thing is just ceremony and has no value.
edmaraja: Is it your money? Why are you guys killing yourselves over other people's decision to pay tithes? If you don't want to pay, feel free to do so, nobody is forcing you to pay and if others like myself are convinced that tithe paying is the right thing to do, let us be. You guys should stop splitting hairs over what other people decide to do with their own money
Stop your GO from threatening people with hell for not paying tithe, it is an act of desperation.
DifferentCase: Youngman, it is so obvious something is wrong in your head, you are yet to get someone to tell you, fool. If your father had followed the footstep of Pastor Adeboye, your life would have been more meaningful.
Someone who asked people to touch chair... my father has a good heart, he cannot dehumanize people like that.
histemple: It means God is keeping her for a purpose. Please don't argue because God hate argument. Just believe.
So God kept her there so that she can be fu.cked over and over by some smelling terrorists. I hope God will one day keep your daughter in a place like that.
Televangelist Benny Hinn Admits Going Too Far With Prosperity Gospel in Wake of Billy Graham's Death
In the wake of the death of renowned evangelist Billy Graham, controversial faith-healing televangelist Benny Hinn, who has often been criticized for his endorsement of the prosperity gospel, said in a stunning confession Wednesday that sometimes he has taken the erroneous gospel too far.
"We get attacked for preaching prosperity, well it's in the Bible, but I think some have gone to the extreme with it sadly, and it's not God's word what is taught and I think I'm as guilty as others. Sometimes you go a little farther than you really need to go and then God brings you back to normality and reality," Hinn, 65, said as he reflected on Graham's death with a ministry colleague in a Facebook Live broadcast.
He admitted that as he has grown older and come to understand the Bible more, he now realizes that some of the things he learned from preachers when he was growing up aren't biblical and the popular interpretation of the prosperity gospel — the teaching that believers have a right to the blessings of health and wealth and that they can obtain these blessings through positive confessions of faith and the "sowing of seeds" through the faithful payments of tithes and offerings — is one of those things.
"The more you know the Bible the more you become biblically based and more balanced in your opinions and your thoughts because we are influenced. When I was younger I was influenced by the preachers who taught whatever they taught. But as I've lived longer I'm thinking wait a minute, you know this doesn't fit totally with the Bible and it doesn't fit with the reality. So what is prosperity? No lack. I've said this before," Hinn said.
He then elaborated on how he believes "no lack" should be interpreted. "Did Elijah the prophet have a car? No. Did not even have a bicycle. He had no lack ... Did Jesus drive a car or live in a mansion? No. He had no lack. How about the apostles? None lacked among them," Hinn said. "Today, the idea is abundance and palatial homes and cars and bank accounts. The focus is wrong ... It's so wrong."
He said even though he has been accused of living lavishly and flying private jets in the past ,that is not how he currently lives. "I mean forgive me. People have accused me of things that aren't even real. One guy wrote a comment 'Oh he's worth 40 million.' Oh how I wish. I would give it all to the Kingdom before God Almighty," he said.
"'Well he flies private jets,'" he continued mimicking criticism. "No, I don't. I have not flown private in dear God years. I fly commercial just like anyone else....
"We all sadly make the mistake of thinking that this is what God wants and God says 'No, that's not what I want.' It's time to live biblically. You know it all comes down to one thing. Do we love Jesus, yes or no? If we love Jesus then it's all about Jesus. If we don't love Jesus then it's about other things," he said.
Hinn was one of six televangelists who were part of a 2007 Senate inquiry that raised questions about the personal use of church-owned airplanes, luxury homes and credit cards by pastors and their families, and expressed concern about the lack of oversight of finances by boards often packed with the televangelists' relatives and friends. No definitive findings of wrongdoing were made. Hinn's World Healing Center Church and Joyce Meyer Ministries were the only two ministries that fully cooperated with the investigation and even implemented financial reforms.
Hinn, who was born into a Christian family in Israel, has repeatedly been accused of being a fraud and criticized for living extravagantly while leading a ministry that rakes in more than $100 million annually.
In a 2009 interview on ABC's "Nightline," Hinn denied being a fraud.
"I think if I was fooling the people, over 35 years of it now, I would have been caught already fooling them," he told the network.
Last April, after criminal investigators from the IRS and inspectors from the U.S. Postal Service executed a closely guarded raid on the offices of Hinn's ministry in Grapevine, Texas, he revealed that they were looking into "certain operations of the church."
While he did not go into much detail about which aspects of his ministry federal officials had reviewed, he said in a statement on Facebook that he was confident the investigation will end favorably.
"As has been widely reported, Benny Hinn Ministries is cooperating fully with the governmental entities that are reviewing certain operations of the Church. The ministry has undergone intense scrutiny over the years, and we remain confident that there will again be a positive and speedy outcome in the days ahead," his ministry said.
During the broadcast Wednesday, one of his colleagues, who has known him for 30 years, said Hinn would give every material thing that he has for the presence of the Lord.
As a pastor, Hinn also said he wants his life to end right with God.
"We all want to finish right," he said of pastors. "We all start right. Sometimes we, you know, stumble here and stumble there, but when you come right down to it, we all want to finish right. I'm 65 years old, I surely don't want to blow it at this point in my life and I thank you for praying for me. I really mean that."
Hinn, who began the conversation by reminding his audience of a prophesy he made in 1989 that the deaths of his mentor, Oral Roberts, and Billy Graham would bring about a great revival, said since both men are now dead, the revival has now been set in motion. Roberts died in 2009.
"What we are gonna see is a revival. Three things are going to happen, there's no doubt in my heart and mind because it's in the Bible. If you look at the Old and New Testament you'll see three things happening always at the same time. Number one, evangelism. What was the first thing that happened in the book of Acts? People saved," he responded. "The second thing, miracles, people healed. But the third thing was what? Prosperity. ... Here we are in this season. We're gonna see amazing things happen in those areas of our lives and get ready for your children to be saved in a big way, your families to be saved in a big way, loved ones respond to the Lord in a big way."
He also pointed out that Christians across the world are being persecuted and that American Christians have been spared "up to now" but he wasn't sure if "we will be spared for a whole lot longer."
"I am really praying. I want persecution to come for my sake 'cause I want to get purer before the Lord ... I think persecution ... like fire purifies," he said.
"The early church was persecuted. There is no respecter of persons and persecution is a part of our life. All who live godly will suffer persecution and we've been spared in America but things already are turning against us. No, you know what? For us, that's really a better way to say it. They're against us in the natural but who cares the natural? Think what God will do with it for our lives. What glory it will bring, the power it will bring," Hinn said.
In 2015, Hinn was hospitalized with atrial fibrillation, an issue he said he has been dealing with for more than 20 years.
According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, atrial fibrillation is the most common type of arrhythmia, which refers to a problem with the rate or rhythm of the heartbeat. This can result in the heart beating too fast, too slow or just irregularly altogether. If the problem goes unnoticed, it unfortunately can lead to increased risk of stroke, chest pain or heart failure.
ojdollars: Sir, the old testament was not abolished, it was made perfect in the new. The Word of God is not and never in testaments, it's God Himself. He never ages, He is the same today and forever.
Why is it that Israelites themselves no longer pay tithes?
OnyeOGA: My fellow Christians, why did this Jesus made this statement on the cross: "...My God, my God, why did you abandon me?"- Gospel according to St. Mark 15vs34. Does it mean that His Father abandoned him or what? Please help.
No one actually knows what Jesus said on the cross. It all depends on which account(gospel) you read.
Jesus was a rebellious apocalyptic teacher in the ancient Israel, who was speaking against some established religious norms. He was later found guilty of treason, by the Romans, for calling himself a king and executed like a common criminal. His disciples taught he was the messiah and was coming back to save the isrealites from their Roman oppressor. Later, Christians in the early churches believe he died for mankind and he was equated with the God almighty.
omonnakoda: This topic is for people of all faiths. You do not need to make any declarations to comment. I have interacted with many Muslims from Turkey,Pakistan and Iran who do dot follow this trend blindly but in Nigeria and particularly among Yoruba if you do not have an Arabic name they are not happy. What is the evidence to back this up The current President of Turkey is Recep Erdogan a well known Muslim. Let us take for example the namesame Hassan Abbas
What have they got to do with Islam Sani Abacha was a Muslim as was Tafawa Balewa Their names are not Arabic
Islam teaches people to have GOOD NAMES IT DOES not say Arabic names.
Meajor: Maybe you need to grow up from you ignorance, lest God deals with you in His own way.... How can a carnal mind understand the things of the spirit, for they are foolishness to him... Paul will say... Some preach Christ for selfish motives, but it doesn't matter as far as Christ is preach....someone somewhere heard and his life was transform.... To hell with your myopic thinking... At least you that who say d miracles are fake can start by showing us the original
I won’t be surprised if this person is more than 15 years old. The IQ of many Nigerians is less than 10.
Omorowou, you need to calm down. Not everything is about money, you need to focus on your ministry first. God will provide for you family if you are doing his work.
yanshDoctor: oga i am telling you from experience. what they eat is Bull. and that what they export. cows are gods
Bro, your experience is limited then. I was in Bangalore for 1 year and I met some Indians that eat beef. If you go to the southern part of India, like Kerala, beef is popular. There is this popular beef delicacy called "Beef Ularthiyathu" around those areas.
Also, many Muslims in the Northeast region of the country consumes beef. Most Hindus don't, be some do.
