McStoic:
Reading through some comments here, one cann't help but thank God for being who He is; talk of being mysterious. I also thank Him for being far away above us. Cos the way mere mortals like us try to use the little knowledge He gave to us to rationalize everything they see, one just wonders.

Truth of the matter is that no matter the chains of logic bandied about left and right, you can never understand the workings of God unless He reveals them to you. Vain glory and petty mockery of holy things by those who know nada are the reasons God chooses to confound the so called learned elites nay doubters through unconventional ways. If the prophecies pain any pesin wey dey here, make him / her go ask God to open their spiritual eyes. QED!

Bro, I am a Christian

I admit the fact that some people are just gifted...
However, all the statements are not prophecy.Prophecies in the true sense of it comes emphatically as Thus says the Lord and in that case the messenger risks called a false prophet when the fulfilment is in doubt
Some of the prophecies may come as visions to the gifted, interpretation and de coding of such may vary and to be on the safe side, we see most gifted Nigerian prophets using words like 'may, prayers needed to be averted and so on'

In a society where knowledge and existence of God is being disregarded, where people are weak in faith in God or where people tend to replace "Bible God" with worldliness, there are ways God uses to prove and magnify himself through those living for him.

Those saying prophecies are permutations or ordinary dreams don't know much about God and his way. Prophecy can be delivered as a full package or in part. Whichever way we must thank God for being mindful of people and revealing things that are hidden to us. Whether the prophecy comes fully or in part people should turn right attitudes.

There are prophecies in the Bible which are clearly understood as spoken, whereas there are some that require further interpretation. Some people don't even understand and believe in those clearly stated! How can they understand the difficult ones?

What about this:

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

It is direct and clear, but how many people believe the Child and accept his message?

chinziaski:
Going by this prophecy, Buhari will win but will not be allowed to rule. Therefore, bloodshed and deaths everywhere.

This prophecy is somehow; interim government, jonathan coming back, Buhari's health and no credential, etc.

The Lagos state election prophecy is normal, both parties are fielding christians.

Musicians like davido, wizkid, etc should go and pray now o! Their fast lane kind of life might bring them to their early deaths.

Food! Food!! Food!!! I love this prophecy.

Retired General, let's check our lists of former military rulers and the military ruler who took us to OIC. We should also look at the Traditional and Religious rulers of the northern states. Which of the rulers have money and power to sponsor boko haram. Your guess is as good as mine.

Obasanjo, do the needful and go to the nearest village square and confess your sins, please. You published "my watch" but u forgot that God is watching you too.

Catholic priests getting married. That's a worrisome development. Gosh! I weep for my church. Do something now, oh ye catholics.

Its quite easy for Hilary Clinton to be the next US president. She has power and influence in the parliament. Too many unusual things are happening in the US lately. First, Black president, now Female president. I no talk anything o.


My people, we can avert this crisis come feb 14. Let's vote out these men, Buhari and GEJ. We have other men vying for this post. Read up their profiles and achievements and vote for the best among them.


Don't lose a brother this year, save lives!

We can't just continue with post elections violence and blood shedding. We have seen enough of that. If both GEJ and GMB could not do Nigeria any good we better pray that God will stop both of them, and help us to settle for a neutral person.

It is well. Even in the well. 2015 is my own year of goodness and divine blessings from all directions. It is well with my soul.

Men of God should pls do more evangelism and less political predictions. Even if the prophecy will continue come true, I don't see many Nigerians spiritually matured enough to take it by faith and pray over it. Prophecies are meant for caution and to avert evil. If you understand it that way, things that are not wanted could be prevented for life.

Some of the predictions will come to pass while some will be prevented. Those saying those predictions are permutations need caution. It be like seeing evil coming in a dream and keeping quiet. Pray, God can heal Nigeria.

How about the southerners from 419 to kidnapping to child trafficking to 30 year old claiming to be 15 in London
as much as you hate to admit it you never see northerners scamming people online or spoiling the name of Nigeria abroad it is always southerners so learn to shut your mouth you are not as holy as you will like us to believe

Just telling your leaders and other able men if they care to listen and amend their ways. Child marriage will result in unwanted children (miscreants) in the end, and you know it is such groups that constitute nuisance in the society. Do you know boko haram membership is as a result of failure of leaders or bad leadership from the years back. It takes up to 18-20 years for bad characters to fully manifest in a child. I am just giving awareness about another future failure which may be more catastrophic than what we are witnessing presently in the North.

Gbam!! nd we all know dats d biggest sin on earth... Well he wud dance to d music...!! Lying against d holy spirit chai!! dis world z coming to an end... it is said dat in d last days we wud know d true men of God

what a big shame and slap in the faces of those following and believing in what rev mbaka says. he picked political message and advice meant for character assassination from politicians and declared it as prophecy from God.

shame on him!
shame on those who think they can mock God and go scot-free. These politicians are wicked sha. They always think of fooling all people to get their ways through. They don't even mind to play God.

#buharisupporter
#Jonathansupporters

Fear God.

so the reverend mbaka put himself to the position of Judas Iscariot among the disciples. He willingly offered himself to be used as a scapegoat.

the worst part of his action is his lies against Holy Spirit. so his prophecy was faked. what a liar claiming to speak what he hears from God.

tbagjames:
I feel men of God should be more concerned with winning souls and salvation of mankind than involving themselves in extra-religious political gibberish. God gave him a message about Goodluck, why not relay the message to him in writting or other means rather than bringing the congregation to scorn the president. However, if there are threats to your life, worry not, the God who sent you is in control.

when everyone begins to question whether this man is truly man of God, definitely he must have dipped his hand into iniquity. He shouldn't have allowed his emotions in dirty politics of Nigeria to discredit his calling and invalidate his message as a man of God. He has stained his integrity already by making God he claimed to serve a liar.

The
Northerners are always in the news with funniest and strangest things on earth. From child marriage to boko haram, and back to child marriage. I think Sanusi is one of the most educated to have laid his hands on what is an abomination.

connoisseur1:
This is the most stupid comment i have read on nairaland this year and Iam sure it will be for months before another stupid comment takes over. Such insensitivity and wickedness! So because it is not happening in ur locality, u dont care. See, Boko haram is the collective problem of Nigeria. If they conquer the north, then they will come to the south. Just pray they dont launch the southern invasion from your family house. Mtcheeew!

Southern invasion ke? Any sponsors that harbour or support them are gone together with their families in the first instance. SW values life more than allowing evils of religious blindness.

No matter how highly placed, any religious leader leader.. Muslim or Christian that habour terrorists or give support to terrorism directly or indirectly is a goner

I weep for the North for allowing the trouble they cant afford to manage to emerge from the land. As poor as the land is already, those violent people are determined to make it poorer and unsuitable to live.

Those blaming Jonathan should note that terrorism in the North has religious undertone and very well planned and prepared for since 1992 according to confession if one of the governors of the zone. Our biggest headache as Nigerians is wastage of resources that could have been used to strengthen our economy and develop the country on the affected States. Those guys are always out to destroy, mostly through attack and run... Progress can't be achieved in a society that waste its resources.

Maybe Jonathan problem and weakness on boko haram is that he believes those guys are human beings that can be pardoned and integrated into the society. He couldn't approach them with iron hand and deal with them as beasts which are good for nothing.

These agents of Satan really mean the business o. My heart beats with their determination to gain territories and make the remaining parts of Nigeria ungovernable. Our greatest enemies are the people who see these terrorists as their brethren and give them support and cover. The military has found it so difficult to win the battle all these days because many are they among them who also compromise

gbengadada2004:
Am impressed this is coming from an Igbo man. Where are all the tribalistic Igbo guys on nairaland that always abuse the Yorubas of being slave to the Hausas? If it is a Yoruba priest that is saying this they would have start abusing the Yorubas. I am in full support of what Rev Fr Mbaka is saying. It is nothing but the truth!

Politics aside, don't you see that the man has compromised faith in God. He made God to be a liar. Is that a good example to follow and trust? The man is a liar, and probably a magician.

The Creation
All that God created are for His pleasure. The book of Genesis gives an account of creation of the heavens and the earth. The origin and presence of things in the universe is a mystery that people have discussed in theories for years without providing realistic information. The 'big bang' and string theories were developed to explain the creation, but the question still remains unanswered, how did substances involved originate? Our knowledge about God as the creator saves us the stress of unanswerable questions about the universe. Genesis 1: 31 - God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. We have the followings for discussion: The Heavens and Earth Created; The Heavens and Earth Filled, and Human Beings Created.

The Heavens and Earth Created: Genesis 1:1-2 makes it known that everything originated from "the beginning", which is God himself. He created the planets and universe from the formless void.

God created the dry land and sky and made the separation between day and night ( i.e light and darkness). He spoke to the firmament and there was division of waters above and below the firmament. He created the dry land on the waters below and named it 'Earth', and the waters 'Sea' (Genesis 1:3-10).

The Heavens and Earth Filled: His framework of the creation followed a sequence meant to achieve a purpose. After he had created the earth and made moisture available, he proceeded to creation of vegetation (Gen 1:11-13). He decreed that the earth give forth different plants which should reproduce after same kinds. Each plant would produce its kind.

God proceeded with creation of lights - the sun, moon and stars to serve the newly created planet 'Earth' and with the lights he separated day from night and distinguished between the seasons (Genesis 1:14-19). With this He caused the atmosphere to change, thus giving the warmth of sunlight during the day and cool breeze of the night.

God continued with creation of fishes, birds and animals after he had made provision for suitable environment for life. These creatures followed the order of dependence, that is, the feature that makes life continue. Again the Bible emphasized that the animals would reproduce after same kinds, each animal will reproduce after its kind. Reproduction must follow unique characteristics of the animals (Genesis 1:20-25).

Human Being Created. On the sixth day God created human beings, males and females (Genesis 1:26-27). He made human beings in his own likeness; they could reason and make decisions. Unlike the animals God breathed into humans and made them share of his spirit. Therefore humans are spiritual beings made up of the body, soul and spirit. For this reason humans beings are different from the animals. We are specially made to worship God.

Human being are commanded not to worship the creation under whatever forms. It is only God we must worship. After humans were created God commanded them to be fruitful and multiply to fill and rule the earth (Genesis 1:28-31). People and the universe are not product of chance, they are made by God for his pleasure. He is awesome God we must praise, honour and glorify in our lives. To God be the Glory. Lesson Text Genesis 1:1thru 2:7.

Why didn't they reveal the the President will give an address with pink lipstick and a powdered face? Why didn't MFM reveal the reaction of this white kid when he saw the President of the the largest black nation on earth wearing a lipstick? Why didn't they reveal that this President will loose woefully?

Dreal1247:
.
He said there is no need of revealing everything without the solution. Hence the prayer points. People that so much believe in vision without looking for solution always end up moving about with their problems. GOD BLESS MY GENERAL OVERSEER.

Also God's revelation is not food for a child. It must be for individuals to discern and pray over (if it affects the entire society) esp during difficult and critical situations like we have presently in Nigeria. Those who are using mental pictures to interpret spiritual things are those getting it wrong and creating confusion in the society. Some are just too emotional with a revelation that they just give any meaning which might be wrong.

The wicked are not found far off. They are around doing what will ruin lives of people who are closer to and benefiting from them. Those who depends on sellers outside for what goes down to the stomach are the No 1 victims. Learn how to cook at home and be satisfied with food your family prepares for you and other members.

They should continue the fierce battle against the insurgents, their end is very near. Terrorism will soon be a thing of the past in Nigeria.

Rev Fr Mbaka

is your God, God of confusion? Is he God that denies himself? Is he God that when he spoke he denies what he said?

The reverend should pls provide answers to the questions. If not he has just started making fun of his office and ridiculing his pastoral assignment.

From what he stated has he turned to a magician? What is the place of Holy Spirit in him that he can't hear directly from or see clear revelation instead of playing a game of chance with prophecy? Is that not an abomination in high places of worship that HOLY SPIRIT warns believers to beware of?

I may not be interested in who wins the elections, but my concern is about mocking of his calling by derogatory statements and unholy conducts.

which local government chairs.. most of them are errand boys of the state governor. for almost 4 years they are handicapped and couldn't do much if not anything.

just of recent they started to embark upon "last minute" projects because of forthcoming elections. all the months and years back, they were like sidon look for the next instructions which seemed to favour spending much with little or no impact.


I begin to consider local government autonomy, but my fear is whether grating that will improve or worsen the situation.

From all indication last minute defection will come as a big surprise across various parties.

with the way the issue of certificate is going with GMB, if he can't sail through the politicians that came together to make him can as well break to various units where they came from. we know politics in Nigeria is for biz and to make profits. only a few politicians see it as a duty to serve others.

we are watching them as they cast dice and chase shadows. If they win good of them. if they loose good of them. Almighty God give good people of Nigeria food that is convenient for them. Enough of post elections violence, enough of terrorism.

We want absolute peace and stability. This is naija where the beat, tone and music can change at any time.

Onmason:
In my considered opinion,1.Has the military denied being in possession of Buhari's certificates? 2.why is the military mute over the allegation 3. Can Buhari lie against the military with impunity? 4. Could this be one of PDP's usual desperate and despicable political manoeuvres? 5. Is it possible for Buhari to have risen to the rank of General (acclaimed one of the best, by an independent international entity of no mean repute), without having an O'level certificate? 6. Is it not blatantly CHEAP to dwell on ordinary certificates when we know that paper qualification is DEFINITELY not enough to make a good leader? 7. Does gej's Phd make him a leader to reckon with? 8. Could Sambo have ACTUALY lost his certificates to fire?, when? Where? How? Mind you, in the case of FIRE one cannot make enquiries or maybe you should enter fire and ask it some questions! Nobody can LIE against the Nigerian military with impunity. The fact that they have not responded to the claim or delayed to respond to such a weighty claim should send the biggest slowpoke THINKING. For goodness sake, are some people so unfortunately daft? Chai!

Those without certificate should give way to those who have. Simple! If GMB doesn't have suitable qualifications for the post of President he must surrender to his vice who is qualified to take over. At least he is a professor.

sai anjima!
oh Buhari. It is likely people will miss you again except there is a timely intervention.

Maybe Certificate didn't make Buhari the General in the military. Probably that was due to his courage for leading a coup and succeeding in it.

bnovative:
Quota system.
The same reason a child from the south who scored 130 and was denied entry into unity school whereas a child from the north scored 3 and was admitted.

He is one of the few senior military
officers in the history of the Nigeria to
fail the Command and Staff College
exams as well as the senior military
examinations. While his senior military
colleagues, such as Ibrahim Babangida,
Tunde Idiagbon, Theophilus Danjuma,
Augustus Aikhomu and Abdulsalami
Abubakar have military suffixes after
their names, such as FSS; Psc; or MNI;
Buhari has none.

This would be the most expensive joke of the year! No certificate, no honour, o boss how come? Are you the one that has not done much for Nigeria or is it Nigeria that is ungrateful? ONE MILLION MARCH FOR BUHARI RECOGNITION IS INEVITABLE If the whole military cannot defend Certificate of its former boss this time around. One million march will do.

bolseas:
since it is within nigeria, just go to one of the parks, meet the pple in charge of parcel handling, if there is any vehicle going on night journey, d parcel will be deliverd the following day i mean within 24hrs and that is if there is some1 on ground to receive it at the park.
courier- i think Ifex is okay.

fixedhollies:
I think EMS of Nipost has improved greatly. let me give u a wisdom. Go to d post office, ask for one of d staffers and plead to put ur goods in his care...or good bcoms safer. it is also the cheapest of all.

iyaegbe:
Strange but true, EMS is the best within Nigeria when you talk about courier services. I have tried DHL, FedEx and UPS. When your shipping to big cities like Abuja, Port Harcourt the DHL and co are effective but cities like Lokoja, Benin, Auchi (from experience ooo), they are not effective.

ok

This certy tinx sha! I don't think the North worships certificate the way ppl do in the South. Certificate or no certificate, once you have your way you are good to go.. even cool & gently . No gra gra for the folks over there once they have their ways.

Professor Osinbajo might not even need his certificate any longer... climbing to the most exalted position in Nigeria with the minimum requirements of which certificate is the least of them.

facealone05:
South west have already won by buhari so oshinbajo or oshinbajo leave dt for us to decide

are you speaking for the Southwest? Your calculation may not be accurate.

Someone raised the followings where sharia is fully practiced. I wonder how such practices could honour fundamental human rights

Highlights of Sharia Laws. The question is are u ready to sacrifice your freedom and religion.

Christians can’t build new churches or renovate old ones,no ringing of church bells but Muslims can do what they want.

You can’t marry a Muslim girl as a Christian else you must convert to Islam. But Muslim men can marry Christian girls without converting.

If a Muslim kills another Muslims by mistake, he pays a certain amount of money as fine. But when he kills a Christian by mistake, he pays half the stipulated amount of money and the only reason is that Christians are infidel and not equal to Muslims

You can’t openly show your Bible in public, you can’t preach, u can’t share church fliers or say anything about church on any form of media.but Muslims can preach on TV and any media of choice.

Weekends are Friday and Saturday. Sunday is the beginning of a working week. Christmas and Easter celebrations are forbidden and no official break. You are forced to fast along Muslims

When you take a case to court, a judge will not hear your case until you say (you believe in oneness of Allah and prophet Muhammad is his messenger) even when they know your a Christian.

Any form of derogatory words against Allah, Muhammad, or Koran is punishable by death penalty.

You can’t hold any official post as a Christian were Muslims will be under you. It’s a taboo and it’s forbidden. But rather you must work under Muslims.

The list is numerous and that’s Sharia. In those countries, they have been able to subjugate all non Muslims and that’s why there is relative peace. If you are OK with such inhuman treatment, I am not.

Cityguy:
Therein lies the danger! Unfortunately too, some know but are past caring. They just want CHANGE, whatever that brings them is inconsequential.

I wonder, even potential terrorists are screaming "change" as if they have any good intention about that.

noblezone:
How did Sharia enter our constitution?

people of Nigeria are asking.

BTFormular:
how una take reach there before. If christians can adopt the crusaders method it would be a good news. why cant christians jus fight back

santori:
for your information, i dnt belong to any religion. do you know how xtianity spread all over Europe? if you don't know go and read up on the exploits of the crusaders
you can as well go ask your great grandfather on how xtianity got to the shores of africa.
God bless you

Christians are not to fight, destroy lives and waste properties of others before they can spread the gospel. Jesus Christ, His Disciples and Apostles that bore and endured persecution, and without compromising faith spread the gospel are the examples to follow while spreading Christianity.

The gospel principles are teach, preach, encourage/admonish, exhort and correct whilst reaching out to unbelievers and winning their souls for God.

Can you cite places ascribed to gospel in the BIBLE that encourage destructive confrontations? Pls cite examples and let's discuss them.
