Tadadobe:New to NL? Always anticipate the worst possible impossible replies. |
lhordspy:It's like watching puppets in the hands of a sinister puppeteer. |
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. |
WonderManly:This is prophetic. He along with his cohorts have inherited curses on themselves and their children. |
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. |
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. |
Dtruthspeaker:Thanks for sharing sir. We can only minister, it is God who calls and saves. And our portion is eternal life in Jesus name. Amen. |
Kobojunkie:I have said, all that needs to be said sir. He that has an ear, let him hear. |
This video circulated some years ago. I was privileged to listen to it again and all I can say is that it is a marvelous thing. And we should not take this warning for granted. God put His Spirit on this mad man to preach the complete gospel. The end time is truly upon us. Please don't risk going to hell fire for eternity. 1000 years of Pleasure on Earth is not worth 1 Day in hell fire, talk less of Eternity in Hell fire. Heaven is our home, please come back home. Listen and be saved in Jesus name. Amen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGOwucoPk5s |
incandescentena:Kindly shed more light on this please. I believe a lot is connected to this statement sir. |
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. |
Autobot05:It's actually the best. As you will be fully sold out to God. But it's according to the grace you're given, not by flesh. Grace multiplied to you. |
Kobojunkie:If you truly believe in Jesus Christ, the Word of God, you won't call His teachings and counsel lies. God have mercy on you. I would have shared a verse with you to unveil you, but your heart is not right. And the verse will only further be destructive to you. I will pray for you. |
Kobojunkie:This is strictly for believers who have submitted to Jesus Christ, the Word of God, not just Jesus Christ the synoptic gospels. Thanks. |
Autobot05:Happily Single, I hope. Truth is, the Bible says, it is not good for man to be alone. Hence be Happily Single but have the consciousness and desire to be Happily Married too. |
jogsman01:Interestingly, it's not just for you but for me and everyone who needs to hear it. He that has an hear, let him hear. |
Upset700:It's amazing the things we have normalised. Have you considered that this is because you're not meant to sleep with a guy until marriage? I believe you must have had an encounter with God at some point and he is letting you know that you are very valuable. Other wise you won't even feel a thing. I wish you would renew your relationship with God and come to know how He sees you, his true love for you. Do not think it's impossible. I also have a past, so grotesque. I wish I knew then what I know now. A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. Prov 31:10-11 Hell is real, heaven is real. |
imagrg:As we grow in all ramifications, following Christ and trusting God's plans for us and his work. |
jogsman01:No be lie, the pressure fit burst pipe. Wahala for who no get PRD (Pressure Relief Device). Valentine's Day is around the corner once again, and with it comes a lot of misrepresentations and caricatures of love. But with Wsdom and understanding, you'll know how the system works. Our PRD is Christ. And in Him we have rest. Knowing that the pressure is the voice of the enemy to build up a storm of fear through the media, social media, family, peer pressure, religious pressure, time pressure, etc. Knowing Valentine's day is not a celebration of love but lust. Knowing most of what you see online is fake. Knowing that Valentines Day is just one day, and most never recover from the decision they make out of the pressure. Knowing most of those glamorizing their relationships are not truly happy, outside Christ. Knowing that you're complete in Christ, and he is working on you and with you. This is the heritage of those who trust and wait on the Lord. His plans for us are far better and greater than our own best plans. "I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases." SoS 8:4 |
Fellow Singles, Marriage is such a beautiful thing. No matter what others think, say or experience. No matter what the media spews. We simply have to pray, learn what God says and patiently wait to get it right. To be Happily Married, we have to be Happily Single. We don't depend on marriage or relationships for Happiness. Happiness comes from having a whole life. Wholeness/Completeness/Fulfillment comes from Christ. We enter into marriage for purpose fulfillment. Most Single people wish to be married while some Married people wish to be single. The Irony. Your singleness is a blessing. It is the only time you have to develop yourself spiritually, emotionally, mentally, academically, professionally, financially, socially and maritally. Marriage comes with co-responsibilities. And that requires preparedness. You can either learn to be responsible while single or be forced to be responsible in marriage. Build yourself for your desired marriage. Don't be thinking of who to depend on. Be thinking of being who can be depended on. Wise singles don't look for husband materials or wife materials. They focus on they themselves being marriage material- Good spouse, parent and role model. Then truly, you become like treasures. As a Married Couple, you should be able to enjoy being Single even in marriage. You shouldn't have to be dependent on your partner for Happiness. Otherwise you get taken for granted. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Revelation 19:7 We simply have to understand Love and our responsibilities through the eyes and Grace of Jesus Christ, so help us God. Amen Happy Love Month. |
ahnie:Anything can become an addiction. There are good addictions, and there are bad addictions. Good addictions may include being studious, being ready to work/help, being prayerful, worshipping and serving God, being charitable, etc. We know the bad addictions already. Your first victory over your addiction is realising its become a problem that if you do not kill now, will eventually kill you. So congrats in advance over your final victory over it. Cos this realisation alone is what makes you get desperate for help now. Until you're desperate for help, you may not find it. And you may also find it difficult to muster the requisite commitment to win this battle. Yes, it's a battle. A battle against something that has the capacity to kill you. (My apologies if that makes you uncomfortable but it's the truth.) I had 2 female neighbours die recently, one from low blood sugar, the other from high blood sugar. Ladies especially get addicted to carbonated drinks, specifically coke. I won't say drinking coke is bad, but I believe there's an undisclosed element in coke that has been said to make it addictive. What you need to do is allow your desperation drive you to turn to God for help. Now there are several gods, I only know one true God who is able to save you completely and even bless you with Good addictions. Every bad addiction is as a result of lack or loss of self control. You can either lose control over your flesh or your spirit or your mind or your emotions. Either as a result of a spiritual attack or habits that have gotten out of hand. I could attempt to suggest a couple of ways God has helped me and continues to help me overcome my addictions, but if I take away the God from it, I can assure you it won't have been possible. One of the gifts he'll give you is Self Control. Trust me as simple as this sounds, it's what you need. I pray for you that you win this battle and receive Power from above in Jesus name. AMEN. |
pressplay411:Singlenhappy kindly read this. Study the quoted scriptures. Pray and sleep on it. Let's discuss it when you're chanced. |
Singlenhappy:Wow from Jw to Pure Grace. I see why Apostle Paul's teachings resonate very well with you. Paul does not teach that we cannot sin though. He simply teaches that Christ has delivered us from the law of sin and into the law of liberty, so that we should walk in the Spirit and we would not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. As long as you have the Leading of the Holyspirit and you maintain a fervent prayer and study life, you will do well. God bless you sis. |
Amen |
Amen |
Here in the Power of Christ I live. Halleluyah! Good Morning.. |
Singlenhappy:Good morning to you. I get you. Yes, we have been justified and sanctified by our new birth, yea our Spirit is of Christ. Halleluyah! However, our Flesh and Mind need continual Sanctification by the Word of God and the Leading of the Holy Spirit.. We need to submit to the disciplining of our flesh (the sinful nature we were so used to) and renewing of our minds (our perverted mentality) through conslstent hearing of Faith. Lest we find ourselves in Christ yet still working the works of the flesh and glorifying the nature of sin. If we walk according to our flesh, we find ourselves manifesting works of sin. But if we walk in the Spirit, we will be manifesting the glory of God and working the good works of our Father in heaven. Grace, Peace and Mercy be multiplied to us in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.Amen Do have a blessed, favored and pleasant day and week. |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaHNKu3z2A4 Song by Adrienne Camp In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My comforter, my all in all Here in the love of Christ I stand In Christ alone who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save Till on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave He rose again And as He stands in victory Sin's curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ No guilt in life, no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

Singlenhappy:I won't go as far as condemning anyone who is in Christ. For Romans 8:1 says it all. But I believe you should understand his point. We are saved from worldly and vain glories, to manifest the glory of Jesus Christ. Anyone who holds the belief that they're the Greatest of all time (GOAT), has taken the glory away from God. It's ok if people call you GOAT, you have no power over that. But it's a subtle way pride creeps in. You'll be surprised how iniquity crept into Lucifer, a glorious Archangel. But today he has become Satan- the hallmark of Sin, Pride and vain Glory, Now depending on the inner workings of Grace in you, as a believer you will come to know that the end result for you and I is to manifest the glory of God which is Christlikeness- His Humility, His Character, His Wisdom, His Power, His Life, His Passion, etc. His Fruit and Gifts. This no doubt is capable of making you the Greatest in your sphere/Industry. Jesus Christ, even though He deserved to glorify himself, yet He never did, He always gives the glory to His Father- God in heaven. Likewise the Apostles after Him. We have to be sensitive and careful about the things, characters and doctrines that have become "normal" in our modern day Christianity. For the devil is ever looking for whom to devour. But thank God, Jesus Christ is ever interceding for us and giving us Grace to be both discerning and Overcomers. |
jesusjnr2020:The pleasure is mine sir. Seeing your fire 🔥 for Jesus Christ is soul-lifting and inspiring. Grace and utterance multiplied to you in Jesus name. |
jesusjnr2020:Well said. |
Righteousness2:God bless you. |
