Christianity Etc › Re: Some Wrong Prayers Often Prayed In Church. by rhames(m): 6:35pm On Dec 21, 2014
starlingleanets:
Samson prayed a wrong prayer and He died with his enemy He prayed thus "Let me die with the philistines" dats a wrong prayer and many today like Samson are praying the wrong prayer and their life end up been like Samson;a stagnant life.

Here are some wrong prayer often praye
d in the church

1. Holy Ghost Fire: haba, Holy Spirit is sent to convict the world of Sin,righteousness and sin how come He go dey Fire people He was sent to lead to Jesus?

2. My enemy Die! Die!: When its obvious u r the enemy of urself u r indirectly praying for ur own death; Ignorance at his highest peak.

3. Cover me with the blood of Jesus; Haba, who taught u that? The blood of Jesus is for the cleansing of Sin; However his name alone is a stronghold where u can hide.

4. The enemy of the gospel should die: Na u alone the Kingdom of God is made for? The Lord does not want any perish but all men to repentance and be saved.

5. God hear;God accept: Na dis one bad most,in yoruba it says "Oluwa gbo,Oluwa gba" Na by force He must to answer? Moses ask the Lord to blot his name out of the book of Life if the Lord has heeded his prayer where will Moses go?Sure, Hell. There is a way that seems perfect to man but its end is destruction. What u r forcing God to do for u may be d thing that will end ur life here on earth nd make u lose heaven, perhaps thats the reason it seems He does not answer you for u know not what u are asking for.

Many prayed in ignorance and thought their prayers are not answer.God will not give u something that will hurt u. Pray in the will of the Father and ur prayers will be answered.

If u have some wrong prayers often prayed in Church please post them that the church may learn the will of God.
Holy Ghost Fire Burning Church!

CraigsList
Many Nairalanders have gotten items for cheap and even for free through us on Craigslist-but in recent weeks-the many pick up requests has made many frustrated- they want their item picked up and when we cant-it becomes frustrating. The limited hours in a day, the informality of Craigslist-where some sellers are just not serious makes picking up hard sometimes.
As a resullt -we have employed a driver so that pick ups can be faster. We are testing this and if it works well-it will be permanent.
Please note the following:
1) All pick ups are $30. If you are ordering multiple items at once-the 2nd item is $25-3rd item is $20-4th and other items $15.
2) We only deal with minneapolis.craigslist.org This area is known as the Twin Cities and includes the cities of Minneapolis and St.Paul (the capital of Minnesota) and the dozens of cities around these two cities. We charge the cost of petrol to pick up these items.
Minneapolis–Saint Paul is the most populous urban area in the U.S. state of Minnesota, and is composed of 182 cities and townships built around the Mississippi, Minnesota and St. Croix rivers. The area is also nicknamed the Twin Cities for its two largest cities, Minneapolis, with the highest population, and Saint Paul, the state capital. It is a classic example of twin cities in the sense of geographical proximity.

Its about 16483.07 km²- about as big as
The Twin Cities area is as big as Lagos State all the way to Osun and Ondo State -so you can imagine the driving time for one pick up.
FACTS ABOUT THE STATE OF MINNESOTA
1) The state is about a quarter the size of Nigeria. Minnesota is 225,181 km² - while Nigeria is 923,768 km².

Craigslist Petrol Charges.
We only deal with minneapolis.craigslist.org. This covers an area bigger than Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Oshun states. Each time we pick up for you-there is the cost of petrol to these cities besides the applicable commission.
Under minnespolis.craigslist.org there are 6 counties. We live in Hennepin County which is the largest. Hennepin county inlcudes many cities and is half the size of Lagos State.
The counties with some of the cities and petrol costs are:
Hennepin County
Anoka/Chisago/Isanti County
Wright
Washington
Dakota/Scott
Carver/Sherburne/Wright

SHIPPING
We have succesfully shipped going to a thousand items for nairalanders in the last 2 months. In several instances-we have had some clients frustrated with the speed of shipping. There are several forms of shipping.
1) Our recommended shipper-Sovereign Cargo-
Charge is $5 per pound. Whatever your item weighs multipled by $5. 1 pound is 0.5 kg
We ship every Wednesday and it is available for our pick up after going through pick up earliest the following week Saturday (11 days). In some instances it extends to the following weekend (thats almost 20 days).
We have used our shippers-SC-for over 3 years and they have been wonderful. With them -you can be best assured-
-No theft
-No customs duties
-No asking for extra money after shipping
-No sudden increase in fees
There are only two updates for this shipping:
1) The day it ships we tell you.
2) After it lands-and clears Customs-shippers contact our Lagos people and we update you to pick up.
Please check our website www.nairavault.com/shipupdates.htm to track your shipment.
By this method-you have the following options to get your item:
1) Have the items sent to you directly so that you pick up your self from Compact Logistics int'l ltd, 4 ileshomi str by afijalo roundabt mafoluku, oshodi-very close to the airport.
2) Have our man pick up your items as is our practice. If this is your choice-you have the following choices:
a) Meet him at the Compact Logistics-usually 11am on a Monday.
b) Meet him at his Isolo office-ANY ITEM NOT PICKED UP THAT MONDAY ATTRACTS A SURCHAGE as there is the added cost of transporting to Isolo.
c) Have a Transporter shipped to your location. There are many options. You can either contact Jimmy -08102743983 to handle this for you or check for the many transporters that offer services on Nairaland.
OR
If the item is addressed to you Directly your transporter can pick up from Compact Logistics directly.

OTHER PLACES
Aside from Craigslist and Ebay -there are many places you can also buy from.
liquadation.com is one place.
There are many others.
How much will bring these item to Nigeria.

Romance › Re: Successful Career Ladies Have Suffered - My Experience by rhames(m): 7:22pm On Dec 18, 2014
robedu:
A NEW HUZZLING WAYS HAS EMERGED FOR BAD AND LAZY GUYS

I don't know if other successful career ladies do come across this clowns, it's quite funny.

So some guys find out that you are successful as a lady, instead of carrying guns to rob they want to pass through your heart.

Have had few experiences but the one of today makes me laugh so hard(please note i am not saying career ladies dont find love oo, real love everywhere but i cannot understand why some silly ones do this).

So i just met this guy in a friends wedding, i was the MC, he was one of the grooms men, we've known each other for sometimes now but we have never talked.

So he used the opportunity at the wedding to get my number and we took the conversation to whatsapp, before we could say jack, he has proclaim all the love in the world, how he had always loved me, how he had always wish we were together etc.

Just three weeks into the discussion, i have not even accepted to be his girl friend, i told him i will think and pray about it but we kept on chatting sha and he always proclaim this love like he's serious lol.

On Tuesday, the bloody banking hall stroller (na banker e talk say e be na) came to me to say he want to buy a car, i should tell him how i bought mine, i redirected him to Elizade where i got mind and he started saying i should ask for pricing, i told him i cant go pricing cars when i am not the driver that he should walk into Elizade shop and make his findings. (Nairalanders that was just this monday oo).

Today, Oga banker came to me with several emails on my whatsapp and fb chat, sending me crying sticker, i ask what happened, he said he made a mistake in office so his boss gave him a query, transfer all the money from his account to his customer account he made the mistake on, so he is so broke and his mother just called he should send her a little money and her sis in Togo just called that he should send her Tfair back to Nigeria.

I said eyaa.. take it easy oo.

He said, now he is left with no option than to go and borrow one lady who works at a UBA bank close to his own bank Union Bank, i said good if she will give you, he said yes na, she will give him cos the lady has been disturbing him to have sex with her and date her, so she will fly over the opinion, i said ok, if that is ok by you.

The next thing he said, he wont go borrowing from the lady again, that she will disturb and force him to sleep with her if he does, i said ok good thought, he then said CAN YOU PLEASE BORROW ME 50K TO SOLVE THIS URGENT ISSUES I WILL GIVE YOU BACK ON FRIDAY WHEN MY BOSS RELEASE MY MONEY BACK TO MY ACCOUNT OR WHEN XMAS BONUS IS PAID. embarassed embarassed embarassed grin grin grin grin grin cheesy cheesy cheesy shocked shocked shocked shocked

LAUGH WON KILL ME FOR HERE I DEY cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

I TOLD HIM, YOU HAD BETTER GO AND ASK THE UBA STAFF THAT MAY GIVE YOU, BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE A KOBO TO GIVE OUT TO YOU. ALL MY BUDGE IS FIXED
the guy is a 419. When next you date a guy, make sure he has a stable source of income, be he a career man or spare parts seller or anything.

We are not talking of reducing taxes to encourage foreign and local investments, not talking of banning imported goods produced in the country, not talking of reducing big governments and diversifying the economy to brace up for changes in the oil industry to cater for the discovery shale oil.
