Isokehn:
We need the prosperity msg now more than ever if not it will impact believers salvation severely. We are the poverty capital of the world remember. The Nigerian, African civilization which is also home to some of the biggest churches is soiling everything the gospel stands for. Preaching is done through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who is all wise. You don't use paracetamol to medicate high blood pressure. God didn't visit the Israelites in Egypt promising them the gift of longlife or financial prosperity. No. What they needed at that point was deliverance! Vengeance and restoration.

The church can only teach. But it is members who choose to follow the teaching or not. The church is not a central station, server or program issuing out commands to mindless drones. The Church can't get in the way of your will. Even God cannot do it. Church can't change people. People change themselves. By the way, you do not use 1 to generalize all.

Tell those lobotomised morons

Some people are so ignorant, as a Church worker, you don't engaged in such immoral activities because you are suppose to be a born again Christian, unfortunately the church has turned to business center where only money is preached, neglecting the to true purpose of the Church.
I wonder who is more foolish between you and daddy freeze or his followers

I mock your ignorance, if someone teaches you what you should do does that mean that person should be monitoring you about? If you not wise enough to know what is right then you can go ahead and be silly for whatever reason you feel. That the church teaches moral uprightness does not mean some will not deviate and go ahead to tarnish the images of the church for their selfish reasons, after all Judas Iscariot was with Jesus himself and Jesus call him son of perdition. It was Judas' decision to be wayward not Christ that has taught him but your deluded mind will not see it you just want to latch on to every straw to attack the church. Nonsense

Recently, we saw the news of the RCCG worker who got excited about the N45 million Big Brother Naija was going to offer, promising she could do anything since she was not a virgin anymore.

But Daddy Freeze reacted to that with this post...

"If the church fails at teaching morality then of what use is it?
-
She is not a floor member o, she is a WORKER in church willing to do anything for money. It’s not her fault though, most pastors are also willing to do anything for mammon their god of money.
-
Did you see her excitement when she heard that the prize money this year was 45million Naira?"

Teaching morality and living morally are two different things. Freeze is just a jobless dude seeking fo attention. If a person accept to do a thing how does that become the problem of a group? That's hasty generalisation but foolish freeze followers can't think freeze think for them he's their god

TOPIC: Love Dynamics in Marriage

MEMORY VERSE: “By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.” – Proverbs 25:15

BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 2:18-25 KJV

18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

LESSON INTRODUCTION:

Many marriages ate needlessly failing because the marriage partners lack the knowledge of relationship dynamics. Hosea 4:6. Most couples, sadly to say are ignorant on purpose. In this study, we will be looking at the scriptural principles and the love language that must characterize our marital relationships.

LESSON OUTLINES:

SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLES GUIDING MARRIAGE
UNDERSTANDING THE “LOVE LANGUAGES”
1. SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLES GUIDING MARRIAGE

Couples in marriage should understand that the image of God is best expressed in the combination of male and female (Gen.1:27). The God-designed differences between male and female are to be accepted as complimentary and not as competitive. (Gen.2:18 ). Marriage is not a human institution, it is divine.(Gen. 2:21-23). It is to be a relationship of companionship completion and communion (Gen.2:21-25; Matt.19: 5). Marriage was design designed by God to be a permanent, mutual and covenant relationship.(Matt. 19:6). God’s intent is for marriage to be an inestimable source of joy and fulfillment. In fact, marriage is a major part of God’s plan to bring redemption to human race. The environment of the marriage relationship provides the vehicle for the incarnation of the Saviour, Jesus Christ. (Gen. 3:15; 22:18; Ephesian 5:31-32).

2. UNDERSTANDING THE “LOVE LANGUAGES”

Many problems in marriage, usually occur due to the inability of the partners to understand each other’s love language. ‘Love language’ is Ann expression that makes you or your partner feel loved.

There are five primary love languages. They are:

i. Quality Time Together: Spending time with each other and talking without interruptions, going out and about, having fun together, celebrating birthdays and wedding anniversaries, etc. Let courtship experience continue. (Gen.26:8 ).

ii. Acts of Service: Do things you know your spouse would like you do. For example cooking meals, helping each other especially in household chores, etc. (Eccl.4:9).

iii. Exchange of Gifts: Express your love for each other through giving/receiving of gifts no matter how small. (1 Sam.1:5; Prov.17:8 ).

iv. Words of Affirmation: Couples must be consistent in saying I love you, I am sorry,Thank you, You look nice in that dress etc. to each other. (Song of Solomon 1:15; 4:1,7).

v. Physical Touching: This is a way of communicating emotional love, e.g. holding hands, kissing, pecking, embracing, patting, necking, nibbling, sitting close to each other etc.(Gen.26:8; Song of Solomon 1:2).

CONCLUSION: Couples should discover and express to each other what they have discovered as their primary love language that they both enjoy.

QUESTIONS:

Mention at least 3 scriptural principles of marriage.
Identify the primary love languages needed in marriage.
ASSIGNMENT: Find out five (5) major differences between the scripture-based marital principles and the world/carnal-based marital principle.

For Further Reading: Proverbs 15:1; 16:14; 1 Timothy 2:13.

Practical Love In Marriage (Part 2)

MEMORY VERSE: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” – 1 John 4:18

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

INTRODUCTION:

In the previous lesson, we learnt about erotic/sexual love and friendship love as being crucial for a successful marriage. We shall further consider two other types of love that must be practiced in godly marriages. These are ‘affectionate’ love and ‘sacrificial/charitable love.

LESSON OUTLINES

1. Storge” – Affectionate love

2. “Agape” – Sacrificial/Charitable love

1. “STORGE” – AFFECTIONATE LOVE

Another Greek word for love is “storge”, translated as affectionate love .

It relates to natural, familial love that must be shown practically among couples, children and extended family members. (Genesis 13:8-9, Ruth 1:16)

It is the care and concern that binds families together do that no matter what external forces come against them, the unity of the group remains unbreakable. (Genesis 14:14-16; Genesis 34:1-7, 25-27; Exodus 2: 2-8 ). Even though suffering and heartache may come into their experience, storage love binds the family together and strengthens its ties (1Samuel 1:4-8 ). It is also a supportive love which must be demonstrated in the lines of losses or victory, failure, or success, sickness or sound health, sadness and joy, disappointment or achievement, etc.(Luke 8:41-42, 49-55). It creates a heaven for trust and safety in marriage.

2. AGAPE” – SACRIFICIAL/CHARITABLE LOVE
Agape is used to describe the love that is of and from God whose very nature is love itself: “God is love” (1John 4:8 ). He demonstrated His own love(agape) towards us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8 )

Agape love is also used to describe our love for God (Luke10:27), a servant’s faithful respect to his master (Matthew 6:24), and man utmost love for his wife. God commands all husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25-31). Agape love is unconditional love which stands and remains when other types of love quits, and cares when there is no apparent reason to care.

It is beautifully described as charitable love in 1Corinthians 13:1-13. The agape love of God goes past surface, enabling us to look deep into the hearts of others and love them for whom God has made them to be despite the shortcomings or faults. It is love that seeks to give sacrificially (1John 3:16). This is the climax of love that holds the couples together forever “till death do them part”.

CONCLUSION

A marriage without the presence and commitment of Storge (support and care) and Agape love may be on the express lane to heartbreak.

QUESTIONS

What do you understand by affectionate love?
How important is sacrificial love in marriage?

Look, the Bible is not a story book that you can just take anyhow. You clearly don't understand what Peter was talking about when he asked those people to repent. To you, it means he said they should repent of their sins because to you the word repent means turn from your sins. This is wrong and I will prove it. If you believe repent means turn from your sins, then what sin did God commit that the Bible said he repented as seem below?

Exodus 32:14
And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people

Genesis 6:6
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Clearly, Gid is not a sinner for him to repent according to your sense of the word. The verses only say God repented from a former plan. So, Peter telling those Jews to repent means they should repent from their rejection of Jesus Christ whom they killed and now accept him, a thing they did.

If Judas did not betray Jesus he wouldn't have hang himself, if Denmas did not looser his salvation Paul would not have to tell us how he(Denmas) backslided, the seven churches that were spoken about by Jesus in the book revelation gives an insight into this discussion, when the Lord said "I will spew you out of my mouth" would Jesus not know about once saved for ever saved? Do you mean Jesus too did not have the understanding of how salvation works? My guy stop chasing shadows

Culture › Re: Who Is The Real Originator Of These Popular Words -igbos Or The Yorubas. by rhektor(m): 6:52am On Dec 29, 2018

lawani:
Let me teach you something about languages. The more tonal a language, the more in its original form it is. Then number of alphabets does not matter. Pidgin English like Sierra Leonean Creole have more alphabets than Yoruba but not older than Yoruba. If a language has been considerably disturbed, it will lose tone. So, personally, I believe level of tonality is a good measure of the long standing of a language. I will give you some examples of Yoruba tonality, you give me Igbo. Remember tonality is nothing less than tonic sulpha in music. So it really is a measure of long standing of language.

Aja (re mi) is dog
Aja (do mi) a town
Aja (re do) We fought
Aja (re mi) again but depending on context is 'we fled'.
Aja (re re) We off loaded it
Aja (re re) Depending on context is 'We tore it'.
Aja (mi mi) he will flee
Aja (mi do) He will fight
There are still more
Baba (do mi) Father
Baba (do do) copper or so

Ade (re mi) crown
Ade (re mi) depending on context is 'We have come'.
Ade (re fi) we bound him
Ade (re re) We covered it.
Ade (mi mi) He will come
Ade (mi re) He will cover it
There are still more.

The tones are just 5 but they go over a wide scale and that is why Yoruba can be spoken with a drum easily.

If I say something to a fellow Yoruba, they may not understand unless we were talking before which may allow them to use idea or sense to understand. Which language do you know like that?.

Let me put this sentence out with intonation if anybody can interprete, so you see what I am saying

WaWaWa (MI DO MI)
ASK YOUR YORUBA FRIENDS TO TRANSLATE IF THEY CAN.

From the analysis above, Igbo is more of a pidgeon language than Yoruba.

Most of these Yorùbá words you wrote up there aren't a single word

A já a = We offload it as in A = we, ja =offload, a =it

Adèé = we bound it as in A (we)
A stem from àwa (we) dè (tie) the extra é is for stress
Áade = he will come
Áa = from ó máa as in he will, dé (come/arrive)
All these are the products of what we call ìsúnkì (contraptions) and àrànmọ́. If you are a Yorùbá by birth and you speak the language you will not have difficulties in understanding these but if Yorùbá is your second or third language then you might have slight difficulty in understanding it unless you actually learnt the language officially

TOPIC: Practical Love In Marriage (Part 1)

MEMORY VERSE: “My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” – 1 John 3:18

BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 7:2-5

2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

INTRODUCTION:
Love is a fundamental characteristic of who God is (1 John 4:7-8 ). Everything God does is prompted and influenced by His love. The Bible uses several different words for ‘’love’’ in the Hebrew and Greek, interchanging them depending on context. Some of these words mean ‘’affectionate love’’, others indicate ‘’friendship’’, and still others, ‘’erotic/sexual love’’ as well as ‘’sacrificial/charitable love’’.
In this study we shall examine each one as they apply to marriage.

LESSON OUTLINES

“Eros” Erotic/Sexual love
Phileo” Friendship love

“EROS” – EROTIC/SEXUAL LOVE
Erotic/Sexual love is derived from the Greek word ‘’Eros’’. It is the word often used to express sexual love or the feelings of arousal that are shared between people who are physically attracted to each other. It has its godly fulfilment in a legal marriage between a man and a woman (Matthew 19:5). The Bible admonishes married couples not to deny each other of erotic/sexual love (1 Corinthians 7:2-5). Sexual intimacy in marriage strengthens the bond of the relationship. pre-intimacy and varieties of approach should be employed by Christian couples (Songs 1:13,15-16; Proverbs 5:19-20; Ecclesiastes 4:11). Knowledge on how to properly explore this type of love should be sought by Christian couples through counselling and Christian literatures (Hosea 4:6). Erotic/sexual activity in marriage should not be viewed as sin. However, it becomes a sin when it is perverted or expressed outside marriage (Romans 1:24-28; 1 Corinthians 6:9; Revelations 21:8; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).

PHILEO”– FRIENDSHIP LOVE: Phileo/Philia refers to brotherly/friendship love and is most often exhibited in a close friendship (Proverbs 18:24). Best friends will display this generous love for each other as each seeks to make the other happy. The scriptural account of David and Jonathan is an excellent illustration of phileo (friendship) love (1 Samuel 18:1-3). Since phileo love involves feelings of warmth and affection toward another person, married couples should see each other as best of friends. This love cherishes the beloved but it expects a response (Romans 12:10). It is a love of relationship, comradeship, sharing, communication and friendship (Proverbs 17:17). Married couples should share in each other’s thoughts, feelings, attitudes, plans and dreams (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). They should also confide in each other the most intimate secrets, fears and needs that they would not share with a third-party (Proverbs 27:17). A marriage without phileo will be unsatisfactory no matter the passion in the bedroom. God’s desire for the husband and wife is that they tenderly love each other while they overlook each other’s faults and failures (1 Peter 4:8 ).

CONCLUSION:
The love that lasts longer than dinner and a movie must be made up of Eros (Physical attraction) and Phileo (Friendship). Do your best to be intimate with your partner in marriage.

QUESTIONS:

Briefly explain your understanding of erotic/sexual love.
What is the important of friendship love in marriage?
