I know you love him for his generosity just as i do too but that doesn't make him a Christian, and as for the help he has rendered to people in kind i don't think i can meet up to 0.00001% throughout my entire life.
But let's go back to the drawing board!
More than 3.5million subscribe to his Facebook page, 50,000 people worships there weekly and more than 3million visit Ikotun yearly because of SCOAN.
Do you think members of his church preach to their neighbours talkless of teaching about God's Kingdom? Matthew 10:3-13, 28:19-20
Are they dedicated to the love Jesus preached which Racism and Politics can't break? John 13:34-35
Did he teach them not to use weapons in handling issues with adversaries? Matthew 26:52; Romans 12:18
How many of his members are baptized preachers and teachers of God's word? Matthew 28:19-20

Well i'm not saying he is not a good person because i've seen and felt how generous he is, all i'm saying is that is not what Jesus commissioned as Christianity! Luke 18:18-23

I'm asking you to be responsible for leading yourself but you think I would follow some leader, lol. Just goes to show how little you understand.

You keep irresponsibly claiming you are not responsible for choosing those you elected. I'll be here when you wail next term.

MaxInDHouse:
You're most welcome Sir!

Christianity is about selfless and voluntarily taking up the assignment a first century Jewish carpenter who later became a teacher gave his followers.

The young man's name was Jesus when he started he was going from town to town, house to house and door to door preaching and teaching about God's Kingdom (government) that's coming to destroy all human governments and stand forever! Daniel 2:44 compare to Matthew 6:10

He taught his followers to continue doing this job and expanding the network everywhere they go. Now is the sensitive part where all these religionsts failed!
Jesus' disciples will be recognized by their preaching and teaching in their neighbourhood {Matthew 10:11-13} this was how the inhabitants of Antioch got to identify them as "Christians" people practicing the faith laid down by the Jewish man who claimed he was the Christ! Act 11:26

Because they're dedicated to this course they mustn't tag anyone as enemy rather they must pray for their enemies to become friends in other for them to pass across the message in them {Matthew 5:43-48} they will become like one family not with people from their own tribe or race but anyone who accepts their teachings {Matthew 12:46-49} such a person has become a member of their spiritual family that they must love exactly the same way Jesus loves them! John 13:34-35

So with this at the back of their minds they are no part of any nation, tribe, race or ethnic group {John 17:14} rather as their form of worship is based on spirit and truth {John 4:24} they belong to one big and happy global family of peace loving worshipers! John 17:20-23

That is why they must not carry weapons for any reason whatsoever thinking they want to kill enemies of any sort {Matthew 26:52} rather they must be prepared to vacate any locality where they're been oppressed {Matthew 10:23} so that they will shed no blood. They must take people from everywhere as neighbours and love them as they love their own souls {Mark 12:29-31} but when it comes to their fellow believers they must be prepared to sacrifice their lives just as Jesus did for them! John 13:34-35 compare to Galatians 6:10

Satan is the overall ruler of the world and he is speedily promoting hatred in the minds of people globally using Politics and Racism, with this two missiles people are killing people everywhere today {Revelations 6:3-4} but true Christians who love all their neighbours aren't hypnotized by Satan's spell so they are hated by all those under Satan's manipulations as they stick to the commands of their Lord and King Jesus Christ! Matthew 10:22; Mark 13:13; John 15:21

So none of all these people claiming men of God has successfully produced this type of fruit as their followers only revere them but can kill one another in the face of Politics and Racism.

The true Christians are the fruit of Jesus' hard works and people know them in any country by these qualities: LOVE JOY PEACE PATIENCE GOODNESS GENTLENESS FAITH MILDNESS and SELF-CONTROL. There is no law any nation can put up against them! Galatians 5:22-23

So TB Joshua was a good and kind-hearted man that will never be forgotten by the people he helped within the space of time he practiced that religion but he is never a Christian simply because he built a church and started helping people. He never worked on what Jesus (the man called CHRIST) commissioned by establishing the network of preachers and teachers extending the good news of God's Kingdom in their neighbourhood that will unite people of all nations under Christ! Micah 4:1-3

That's is what CHRISTIANITY entails.
As for his kind gesture he is far better than all those pastors and daddy GOs but in reality all of them are not CHRISTIANS!

He never worked on what Jesus (the man called CHRIST) commissioned by establishing the network of preachers and teachers extending the good news of God's Kingdom in their neighbourhood that will unite people of all nations under Christ! Micah 4:1-3

MaxInDHouse:
Wait o!
Before you bless me note that i also don't believe that TB Joshua is a Christian!

Though he was a good man from the viewpoint of observers but Christianity is not about being good rather it's about actively participating in the work Jesus commissioned.

TB Joshua did what he could to help people but that's not what Christianity means, it's far more than that. The reason why all those religionsts blacklisting him have nothing to say against his ministry is because he performed far better than all of them in what they're all claiming to be which is True man of God

But when it comes to the FRUIT Jesus asked us to observe in Christianity all of them are wrong, that's why they don't have anything tangible to say against TB Joshua!

In a democracy the people are responsible for the leaders they elect, as I have repeatedly said. And it is our responsibility to scrutinise them before electing them or it is us who will suffer for our choice, as we can see from the wailing in this thread

budaatum:
I wonder if you just did not miss my first post on this thread because this has been my argument all along, that if you call your country a zoo you are calling yourself an animal

budaatum:
Who is swallowing? Is it not us Nigerians? Are we not the snake, the monkey, the government, the law enforcement agents, protester - peaceful and unpeaceful, the professor, the pamperer and the terrorist that is killing people? Are they not all Nigerians just like you and me?

Buhari is saying nobody will invest in us if we continue behaving like animals!

Is it a lie? Can you not see for yourselves that nobody is investing in giving you a job?

Lifestone:
Like today. I watch the interview and again the president has been quoted out of context.
He spoke on the part of ensuring that there is peace In Nigeria and that during the Endsars protest, he told youth to behave themselves if the want jobs as no investors either local or foreign will invest in country without peace.
You can imagine how the OP headline twisted the narration.

budaatum:
Nobody will invest in a country it's citizens call a zoo, because it is very obvious that the animals will break out of their cage one day and turn the country into a jungle and eat up all one's investments!

But I guess you don't quite get the fact that if Nigeria is a zoo, as some claim, we the Nigerians are the animals in the cages in the zoo that will one day break out and turn the zoo into a jungle.

Deceive yourselves some more, I say, expecting to reap without first tilling the ground before sowing!

peteregwu:
Not every pastor broadcast on TV or cable the good will they extend to others. They know the bible says we should give in secret and not make noise about it. Any pastor who broadcast their act of philanthropy is more like a politican seeking for attention, fame and praises. Smh..

I was cruising round town slowly with my car, before i knew it, a 2014 toyota highlander came screeching with high speed, almost scraping my fender...

If it was an old man I could have let it slide, but alas; it was a young guy with beards feeling funky...


Thankfully it was a clear and smooth road.

I put my cls in sports 2( it’s an airmatic), gassed down the throttle pedal, and i was on The guy was gasping for air. I flew pass him after he must have exhausted every power the toyota lowlander got.
He played catch up till we reached a traffic point.....
We were head to head together, and the only thing that stopped us was the red light. As soon as it turned green; we both hit the throttle, and as expected, my car was far gone before his could pick up enough power..
Toyota car users are the most uncouth set of airheads on the Highway, and I’m glad I taught that dunce a lesson.

Maybe he'd sell his car and get a 2008 c-300

Just maybe..

I attached a random highlander from Google to depict the car I was racing with...
Truly ; mercedes benz and others....

Mrs. Juliet

I was with my husband on March 31st, it was 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon and I took a phone call from the owner of my company, the president and COO. He informed me that my position was being eliminated.

Significant changes had to be made to the small, family-owned business I worked for due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Coming from leadership, I understand. I worked for Skymack communications, a publishing company here in Lagos, for over 13 years. I was senior vice president of operations, client service and account management. The majority of the clients I worked with were in the airline space, so Covid-19 had huge impact on the area of the business I managed.

Even though being let go is not a personal issue for me, when you get that call from your boss, it’s quite a shock to the system.
I love the people that I worked with. And I have never been unemployed.

This was a first for me, and I had to tell my kids.
The first person I told was my husband. We went for a walk because I just wanted to takeout bad thought and feel free. It’s so overwhelming that you don’t want to think about the “What if”.

I cried when I told my husband, but it wasn’t sadness that I felt. I didn’t feel a connection to my job title such that it was a loss of my sense of self. It was more, “Well, what am I going to do now?” Or maybe it was because you have to say those words: “I’ve been laid off.” I never said those words before.

But I didn’t actually tell my two girls, who are 12 and 16, for almost a full 48hours. I just sat with it first. I was thinking, “How am I going to tell them that I have been laid off”?.

My girls have seen me get up and go to work their whole lives. I don’t believe they tied me as a person to my job, but they do understand that my job provides money for the family to live.

I was really trying to figure out, how do I tell them without scaring them? And how will I keep a level of composure?.

The third day I told them. Schools in Lagos were closed, so my daughters were homeschooling. I called them into the living room, sat down and told them that I had been let go from my position at work. I was crying while telling them.

They both sort of looked at me and they said, “Well, what does that mean for us?”

How you handle yourself is everything when it comes to how they’re going to respond, so I immediately composed myself.
“Well, we’re probably going to have to make some changes initially, but as a parent let I and your dad focus on that. I don’t want you to worry about that” I said.

My eldest daughter got angry and frustrated at my employer. “Aren’t you important? Don’t they think you’re valuable?” she asked with a sad face.

“I am valuable” I said. But my value has nothing to do with my job. I’m valuable for a lot of other reasons.”

“I will find a job that makes me happier, a place to work that values me, a place where I want to be” I said. The girls asked questions about money too. I have a loan to pay and other bills. “Yeah, we’re going to have to make some changes, for me to be able to pay back” I said.

“I’m going to have to really work to get another job or figure out what my next move is” I said.

For now we’re good. My girls and I are stable and we’re happy. We have made some changes towards managing most things around us. For instance with food shopping, we are not particularly frivolous, but now we are much more careful.

Also there is no “I need does cloths just because they’re beautiful or I want to do online shopping for me and my girls”. They know they need to be conscientious about what they ask for. And they have been fantastic without reminder.

And I have not stopped my job search, but I am not obsessing. Right now everything is fine, but that won’t last forever. So I am trying to determine what my new normal is going to be.

Thank you Bogger for sharing my story

Success and financial stability does not depend on how much a person earns but on how much he can keep.

Successful people are those who have the ability to save money. In this article we want to highlight some of the rules of Spending which will enable readers to attain financial stability.

Rule 1. Do not spend more than your income: Spending more than ones income leads to bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a situation whereby one indebtedness is more than his assets. The major cause of this situation is spending more than your income. Perhaps you do not know what bankruptcy law says in this country. It is very bad to be bankrupt. Remember investments are made from saved income, so no savings no income.

Rule 2. Never spend in anticipation of income: It is not proper to spend money in anticipation of income. Many civil servants spend money on food, clothing and other wares with the expectation of making payment when salaries come. This situation is very dicey, especially these days that salaries do not come as expected. Always follow the rules of spending with what you have at hand unless when life is threatened. Remember the adage "cut your coat according to your size"

Rule 3. Always make a budget: A budget is a written plan showing expected income and expenditure. Wise people prepare budgets as a guide to expenditure. If you follow your budget, you may not spend what you have not earned and you will always be at peace.

Rule 4. Do spend money to impress others: A lot of people spend money to impress others. They splash money in ceremonies just to impress their viewers. This is a dangerous habit, we must always consider our income first before we engage in spending spree. Because if you don't have money, you will realize that the poor man does not really have a friend.

Rule 5. Don't be afraid to spend: What we have said so far may be misunderstood by some people as becoming stingy, stingy people hardly get rich. Modest people at least remain financially stable. If you are afraid to spend, you make money your master but if you spend carefully, your money remains your servant.

If you want to thrive, don't neglect these 5 rules of spending
