Persephone1: When you place your life in your own hands, that's when this seems to make sense. But when you place your life in God's hands, marriage can happen at any good stage and age. Mary, the mother of Jesus got married as a teenager. Some of our parents married at Uni self. Some of my friends started relationship during NYSC and got married. No one shoe fits all. Prov.14.12 - There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. 1 Like |

Oluwatomisin29: There's always a generation that will perish so that the next generation will have the Fear of God and have sense, walk in Righteousness and enjoy Prosperity. This generation of disobedient and rebellious 'obidients" certainly cant escape the curse they have brought on themselves. Yet there's hope for the few that will find Grace and Mercy with our Loving heavenly Father. |
Romance / Re: What Was The Final Straw That Broke Your Relationship by pressplay411(m): 2:02pm On Apr 09, 2023 |
IamDora: I was listing the various reasons I have ended relationships with different girls/ladies in my life, I had to clear the screen. O por. Lol Life outside Christ truly is crises. And obedience is better than sacrifice. All I can only say is Thank God for Jesus and Easter (Victory on the Cross). Other wise I don't deserve forgiveness. The simple advice I'll give the ladies is from the senior veteran himself, King Solomon. Song.8.4 - I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases. And for the men dem (actually both ladies and gentlemen); 1Cor.6.16-17 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh." But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. 1Cor.6.18 - Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 1 Cor.6. 19-20 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. In conclusion; 1Cor.7.8-9 But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion. 8 Likes 4 Shares |
Religion / Re: Justification By Faith Vs Works! by pressplay411(m): 6:20am On Apr 09, 2023 |
ichuka: It would seem Paul and James and in fact Scripture contradicts itself in this 2 books. But I assure you they don't. I also struggled with reconciling this too. I even backlidded before I came to understand it. I pray the Holy Spirit unveils and gives us understanding in Jesus name. The point Paul was making is simple, our justification is by Faith alone apart from our works. We are already justified by our Faith. But this is where James was addressing and which further study of the Epistles of Paul including the same Romans also corroborates- Now that we are justified by Faith alone, what next? What is the evidence of our justification by Faith? It is the works that confirms/justifies that our Faith is true and genuine. An illustration would be Abraham believed God (had Faith in God) and it was imputed to him as righteousness. He was justified by his faith alone without any works. God simply promised him and he believed. He did not have to offer any sacrifice to justify his Faith then. But later when God had given him Isaac the Promise, God commanded him to sacrifice Isaac and He obeyed. His Obedience to genuinely agree to sacrifice His Promised Child here being the work that justified his Faith. In conclusion, You can have Faith absent Works. But it is the Works that confirms the genuineness of your Faith. Which is why James continued by illustrating that even Demons have Faith. They believe God and know how powerful God is. But clearly works of demons are not works of righteousness. So what type of Faith do you have? It is made evident and revealed by the Works it produces. And as James submitted, Faith alone, without works, is truly dead. This is why Jesus Christ cursed the Fig Tree. But that's another discussion. Grace, Faith and Love multiplied to us all in Jesus name. Amen. 2 Likes |

Obaaderemi2: She's just the proverbial guinea pig. She's the recipient of the unwinding ricochet of the exhausted patience of the APC camp towards all the tribal slurs of Obidients against Tinubu and Yorubas. When your cup is full, even a drop can cause a tip over. Igbos forget that Yorubas are just honorable, respectful and patient. We are too blessed as a race/tribe/nation/people. We are accommodating and wise. A gift and a curse the Igbos have now certainly exploited to their own peril. When the rest of Nigeria rejected the freshly defeated and demoralised Igbos, it was still us Yorubas that extended open arms to re-integrate them into the system. Hoping Good and Love will repair things. But if God could not change the Devil, we have tried our bit. They have chosen to repay our good with evil. They have chosen to repay our hospitality with hostility and even encroach our lands. They have desecrated everything we stand for, and for what? Simply because Awolowo advised Gen Yakubu Gowon and Ojukwu lost the Biafran war? A war that brewed out of their signature disloyalty and duplicity? Check every where online and in any igbo dominated gathering, they are just too tribalistic against every other tribe esp Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani. It's normal to esteem your tribe but to hate others is devilish. Once again, only if they humble themselves will they escape the impending judgment coming on them. And it's God himself that is orchestrating their judgment. For God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. The earlier Igbos realise their Pride is their problem, the earlier their suffering can end. Cos truly every human is created loving, good, humble and accommodating until iniquity is found in him then like Satan their pride comes before fall. |

Herdsmen: Do you know how petrified Peter Obi and his followers are presently? Are you even in Nigeria to begin with? Are you in Lagos? Are you at least following the news? Are you following their shallowness of the case LP has against APC and how it has been shattered? Do you already see the dissension in LP camp? Do you see the lack of peace of mind of the demographic that make up his followers? If anyone is scared and rightly so, it is Peter Obi, his sponsors and his followers. Even though I'm not a supporter of APC due to its failure, I recognise and understand the sovereignty of authority, and they are presently in authority. I will only advise such- Know when you've been defeated. And give respect to whom its due. APC and Jagaban are senior and better politicians than Peter Obi and LP. And government anywhere in the world is a game of politics. To even assume otherwise only accentuates naivity and juvenility. PS: I intentionally avoid addressing Peter Obi's followers as Obidients because rather than exhibit fruits of Obedience, they only exhibit fruits of disobedience and rebellion. So they should be more apt addressed as Disobidients or Rebels. |

FreeStuffsNG: The problem of this generation is that everything is but a joke to them. Yes, we know joking has become our defense mechanism to the harsh reality of our nation but haba the sense of seriousness must not be lost. I hardly comment anymore online cos it's an eyesore what I read online. It takes the Grace of God to be social media intelligent and be able to make productive use of your time online in this new age. And a new age is upon us.

Coolestguy2023: Illiterate I disagree but bigot I agree. It is evident just as you have righty submitted that there's mutual exclusivity between intelligence and wisdom. At this juncture I think igbos need to ask themselves in sincerity and humility, individually and corporately some self/tribe evaluating questions. 1. How did we get here? 2. Why are we here? 3. Are we making progress or retrogressing? 4. Why are we antagonising or being antagonised by other tribes? 5. Are we right or wrong? 6. Are our Forefathers right or wrong? 7. Where can we seek help from? 8. What can we do to get things right? A genuine answer to this will deliver them from their seemingly imminent self-destruction. 3 Likes |

Family / Re: Nairalanders Please Help, My First Son Is Behaving Somehow by pressplay411(m): 12:31pm On Apr 06, 2023 |
booksbo0k: I sincerely empathise with your son. Your husband has not evolved/adjusted into the dynamics of fatherhood in this generation. 1. He is attempting to impose his idea and ideals of career success on his children. This worked some generations ago, but not so effective in this generation. 2. He seems stubborn and unyielding. There's a thin line between being a strong/firm father and a stubborn father. Only God can help him disambiguation the two. 3. Who is your husband accountable to? He needs deep talk with his father-figure or pastor. 4. Your husband is doing this all this out of Love- albeit tainted with hubris/pride. Fatherhood/Parenthood is not simply financial provision but all encompassing. 5. I strongly hope you're a praying mother. You have to cry to God over your family. Christ has to become the Head of your home. Renew and rekindle your secret place and your fellowship with other mothers. 6. I perceive it's the thought of you and probably his goals that's keeping your son from committing suicide. Cos the enemy has done everything to isolate him. All that's left is to dim his hope of any future. You need to personally engage him in a mother to son talk. Pray before you do. Reassure him of how much you love him and you can never give up on him. Leave the dad our of the conversation as much as you can. 7. He's your first fruit. First born are usually the first point of attack among the children. So He also has to devote himself to God. Not necessarily as a pastor but he should have a close relationship with God and be a church worker even if it's as a cleaner or usher, etc. The Lord has done it already. Christ already finished the works, you just have to seek your help in Him. Please, do not seek help from any abominations before God. He does not share his glory with idols. Be of good cheer, your home will be restored. 1 Like |

Mrvictorwrite: I pray we all learn to truly fear God after this. Because this is only the physical manifestation of the spiritual instant judgment that people are facing daily when they curse God. Just as a Christian is alive spiritually but still looks physically the same. There are so many spiritual dead corpses, only physically alive. I pray that as many as find favor in God's sight truly find salvation and live in the fear of God. I had to go through spiritual hell on earth to know that I'm dead without Christ. Peace was gone, joy was a distant memory, hope was lost and I was just failing backwards. And instead of repentjng my pride didn't want to let me admit that I needed salvation. So I truly understand when anyone rejects the gospel, there's demons tormenting them and those demons have gain control of their will and spirit. All everyone really needs is God's mercy and someone to pray for them. 1 Like 1 Share |
Politics / Open Letter To The Church In Nigeria by pressplay411(m): 2:10am On Mar 21, 2023 |
What an interesting time to be alive! I observed with keen interest, yet a reasonable linear distance as from a panoramic view, the unfurling of the just concluded election. First, I celebrate everyone who participated and played their roles in the electoral process- the electorates, the commission (INEC) and the emergent elects at the cadres of the leadership of Nigeria for 2023-2027 administration. I celebrate us all because we played our roles, and exercised our civic rights and responsibilities. Some of us campaigned online but did not vote. Some of us did not campaign at all but voted. Some of us campaigned online and ffline and also voted. Some of us were constrained from voting. Some of us were were uninterested due to incapacity or accumulated disappointments in the electoral process. Every thing played out just as it was meant to be. The results have finally been released and the winners declared. I admonish and encourage us to ask ourselves these important and reflective questions; 1. What did this whole election teach you? 2. Did this electoral process reflect the dividends of democracy? 3. Was it about your choice candidate winning? Or that the people's choice wins? 4. Did the result reflect the people's will/choice? If yes, why? And if no, why? 5. Did God allow the president and governs win? If yes, why? If no, why? 6. Did BVAS help or made it worse? 7. What changes need to be made? 8. Is this the best election ever, or the worst election ever in Nigeria? 9. Do you still have hope in the Nigeria? 10. Now that the election has come and gone, did you make more enemies or more friends? 11. Will you make peace with those your family, friends, leaders, subordinates, etc even though you disagreed with their choices? 12. What next? Will you Japa or Stay? One thing that stays with me during this election is that God proved his supremacy. And that his ways are way too marvelous and beyond us. Studying this election, you will observe that; It has announced the unexpected. It has humbled the proud. It has elevated the lowly It has brought to some hope and some despair. And yes, it is not coincidence that one Scripture kept resounding throughout this election process and it was loud and clear. "Obedience is better than sacrifice." 1Sam.15.22 - So Samuel said: "Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, As in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, And to heed than the fat of rams. 1Sam.15.23 - For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from being king." Let us ask ourselves this, Are we obedient to God? Or we have focused on the sacrifices? The religious activities, the self-righteousness? Are we obedient to authorities? Our parents, bosses, leadership, president? Are we calling on Christ without bearing the fruit and gifts of Christ? Are we following Christ or following our Pastor's, Prophets and Oursellves? Are we worshipping the created instead of the Creator? Are we Worshipping God or Mammon/Love of Money? It is not coincidence that we experienced cash crunch during this election. It truly exposed us all and revealed the states of our hearts- From the Pastor's to the Workers, to the Ministers and the Politicians (King and rulers) and the citizenry. I pray as we reflect on these questions, the next couple of days and events will bring us answers that will help us seek passionately to become truly, Obedient. Finally, Isa.1.19 - If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; Isa.1.20 - But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword"; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken. |

Kobojunkie:Good day sir, I believe you have a good knowledge of the synoptic gospels and sincere Faith in them. The Goal of Faith truly is to make us Obedient to God's commands. Which is why Jesus Christ humbled Himself in Obedience. Philippians 2:8 But you cannot restrict yourself to the synoptic gospels alone. That is similar to the Jews who limited themselves to the Old testament and rejected the new testament and till day still waiting for the Christ. You have to go beyond the synoptic gospel. Jesus Christ (Wisdom of God) is the whole Gospel. 1.Old Testament 2. New Testament (Synoptic gospels, Acts, Epistles of the Apostles and Revelation). And the Spirit of Christ (Holy Spirit) is the only One who can give Understanding (Revelation). That, is the Mystery of knowing God, the Father. Prov.4.7 - Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Let me interprete this. Wisdom is the Principal thing, therefore Get Wisdom. -means Believe and have Faith in Jesus Christ through prayer and studying the Word of God. And in all your getting, get understanding. -means be passionate about receiving the Holyspirit and being led by Him. Please, God sees your heart. He knows why you're seeking Him. He knows our intentions. Only when the intention is right will he trust you and commit himself to you. John 2:24-25 Some of our intentions seem right to us, but He knows when it is truly right. Pray to Him to search your heart. Pray to Him to make your heart right with Him. Ask for Forgiveness and Mercy. Pray to Him that you want to know Him- The Way, the Truth and the Life. Be Patient. He has already answered you from the moment you ask whenever we pray according to His will. It's His Will that we all come into Eternal Life. John.17.3 - And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. Rom.11.36 - For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen. |
