Is04970:If you know what happens in some churches, fear go catch you. Pastors boasting about their remittance figures and looking down on parishes who are struggling. See, just forget. How won't the church be lukewarm? Until you're a church worker,you won't realize some things. Just serve God with your heart and look away from what you see if you hope to make heaven, else it will break your heart and discourage you. |
Aboks:You never know some mothers be that. |
GlorifiedTunde:The line is so thin some don't even realize when they've crossed it. |
charlsecy:You are the deluded one. |
There's a thin line between discipline and abuse. It's so thin, some don't even know when they've crossed it. |
DonroxyII:The only expensive thing in Abuja is rent. Even transport is cheaper and food. Unless you insist on being extravaganza, even with a church wedding, you can use church hall and limit your guests. Not everyone here lives above their means o. Most people I know that did big weddings could afford it. Their families are doing well. Where the controversy is is when people know money is not the problem but you chose to do small wedding. That's when they'll be saying "maybe a pastor told them not to loud it". |
DonroxyII:This is not completely true. I grew up in Abuja and right from when I was really young, I told my mum I wanted a small wedding, she thought it was a joke, till covid came and it was the best opportunity. Guests where barely up to 80, I ensured strict compliance by using bouncers to threaten her to reduce her guests. Cause na her guests plenty pass. My dad was always a modest person so I didn't have issues from his side of the family. Most people saw my wedding pictures on social media. Na sorry I take end am when they were like "na wa o, you didn't even invite us". It's not because we were broke, we planned our finances and channeled it to better things. You never get land for Abuja, you dey throw lavish wedding. Some don't even have a car, yet they will do 3m wedding and be jumping Uber or along. Wisdom is highly profitable. |
If she wanted a big wedding and could afford up to half the cost at least, e for better, if her siblings can also contribute to give her the kind of wedding she wants, e for make sense. She's not ready to marry. As for the counselling part sha, I understand where she's coming from, you should be able to sit together to take a few classes, even if it's once. But it's not enough to call off the wedding and her reason should not be because of a supposed man of God. Based on my first paragraph sha, she never ready. |
Is there a scarcity of condoms in Nigeria? Cause I am not understand all these posts of this forum? Shun premarital sex, una no gree. Oya, use condoms, una no gree. |
Wahala be like POS business, e dey every junction. Una dey knack for theology school, una no even fear. The devil is very smart, he just arrnged temptation keep for you for where your journey start, lack of self control didn't allow you see the Potiphar's wife sent to destroy your life. Worse is while you have hope of going back to the school, she was expelled and now has a baby on the way. It couldn't have cost you anything to take one or two of your uncles to go see her parents, explain to them that you don't have a job that you're doing now and can't support but they should provide you with a basic list for traditional rites so you can save towards it. If they are reasonable parents with a daughter who is pregnant out of wedlock, they'd be lenient with the list. This isn't going to be easy as a job is hard to come by and learning a skill will cost you and mean you can't even earn to support her or the baby. For those who will stumble on this, if you know your calling or purpose on this earth, flee from sexual sin. Nothing destroys destiny like it. |
She is right about this generation changing the narrative. I know two families raising the most respectful and well behaved boys and I'm praying for grace to be able to raise my boy(s) better than I saw growing up. |
olaniyiYAH:Oga oloyinbo, dansaki. |
Rotfl. The reason many people are calling God (cause God did not call them) and claiming to be pastors is cause many people are gullible. People that don't want to know God and hear from Him by themselves. People that instead of working out salvation prefer to pay "pastors" to see vision for them and give prophesy, na so e dey end. Let God continue exposing the wolves in sheep's clothing abeg. |
Advice is the name, advise is the action. Eg, I need your advice. (You need a thing called advice. 2. I advise you keep quiet. (You are doing the action). |
Until MURIC knows their place and watch their utterances, we are just deceiving ourselves in the south west. |
Gabkosh:Nah. I was not planning to bring your mother into it, cause she might not be to blame for how you turned out, I mean, she couldn't have been able to tell you'd be an idiot, else a simple menstruation could have averted the disaster that is you. But oh well, poor woman. |
I'm sure they voted APC. See what poverty is causing. The other day, a man beat his wife to death cause she refused to loan him 2k. |
TarOrfeeek:Two tribes laying claims to the guy. Yorubas claim his name is Adetokunbo, Igbos claim it's Ugochukwu. Which one we go believe now? |
Gabkosh:Nah. But you should ask your sisters. |
BSsniffer:If the aunt discovered it, you think there aren't more kids somewhere? And then the baby on the way. |
The only thing I see wrong here is that Adeola is a serial baby daddy and he prolly has other children growing somewhere. All in all , shun premarital sex. It saves one from a lot of trouble. |
Idamond:Or he looted and squandered it. In a country with one of the best diamonds in the world. |
dawnomike:Na to go do Thanksgiving o. |
This is the reason you just marry people with similar faith. He feels strongly about his catholic church, you feel strongly about your presbyterian, but your hearts feel strongly towards each other. I know traditionally, the wedding is done in the woman's church but if he's strongly against it, make una bone church wedding do court wedding instead. That's a middle ground. There's no union between a man and woman that doesn't have God's blessings, whether traditional, church or court wedding. The most important is that traditional marriage sef. |
Romanblackjezzy:It's one thing you'll need to factor in. |
Hmmm. It's obvious she's from a poor background and her parents sees that old man as their Lord and savior. If you intend to marry her, go and refund the money they collected from that man and use the opportunity to do traditional marriage. But note this, what they are looking for is a saviour from poverty, hope you're willing to fill in the shoe of a saviour? |
So this is the "Grace and hardwork" |
Kobojunkie:I'm not about the doctrine. But the command. Whatever name we choose to call it, it's something that all Christians should take seriously. As a pastor of a church, if for 3 months, no one in your church has won a soup, your evangelism and follow up department isn't having records, there is a problem. It means you're just a pastor of church goers, lukewarm or cold people. Does it mean there isn't two or three people in that church who are actively winning souls or is it the attitude and body language of the church that keeps people away? |
HedwigesMaduro:No. I talked about offering based on previous posts about this matter. This is actually the first time I'm commenting on this issue. Every Christian should be able to boast of a soul on a timely basis. As a pastor of a church, you should lead by example. |
Kobojunkie:The great commission is the command of Jesus. And it's for everyone who is a disciple of Jesus. I believe we won't agree on this so I'll just stop here. |
Kobojunkie:https://www.christianity.com/jesus/early-church-history/great-commission/the-great-commission-is-the-great-command.html Take a look at this study and let's discuss further after you're done. I actually learned of the great commission in secondary school CRK and then Sunday School. Take a look at that study and see where either of us is getting it wrong. |
Kobojunkie:That command is what is called the great commission. Don't you think so? |
