Religion / Why Did Jesus Fold The Napkin? by SageSleek(m): 1:53pm On Aug 13, 2017 |
This is an interesting story and i thought i did share it with my nairalanders.... *WHY DID JESUS FOLD THE NAPKIN?* This is one I can honestly say I have never seen circulating in the social media; so, if it touches you, you may want to share it. Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed separate from the grave clothes. Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, 'They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!' Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other disciple outran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside.. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side. Was that important? Absolutely! Is it really significant? Yes! In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition. When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished. Now if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. The servant would then know it was time to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, "I'm done". But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because........... The folded napkin meant, "I'm coming back!" *He is Coming Back!* For those of us who still read the Bible, we know of this. However, I thought we should share this with those, who may have forgotten the significance of the folded napkin. Please share this with all of your contacts. They would enjoy reading and being reminded of His second coming. *He is coming back.*'!!! You are already aware of that, but........... Are you ready for him? |

Romance / Sharp Nigerian Guy Gives Female Student Of AKSU N1,000 After They Had Sex In Uyo by SageSleek(m): 6:04pm On Aug 08, 2017 |
So, here’s the Gist… This all happened in front of University of Uyo’s Main Gate.. Apparently, a man who picked up a “Lady”, a student of Akwa Ibom State University took her to a bar, treated her to all sorts of food and drinks worth N10,000… and then they had a “good time” overnight.. After the whole fun and fornication, they both left the “hotel” where they used, and then the dropped the lady off in front of University of Uyo’s Main gate… and handed her N1,000!… that was were the problem started!

Sports / Super Cup: Ronaldo Ready To Face United – Zidane by SageSleek(m): 11:23am On Aug 08, 2017 |
Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane on Monday said Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to face Manchester United in the European Super Cup. Ronaldo was allowed to report for pre-season training later than his team mates after playing in the Confederations Cup with Portugal. The 32-year-old also missed the Liga team’s tour of the United States but instead went on a promotional tour of Asia and returned to full training for the first time on Saturday. Reacting to reports that the player might leave Real, Zidane said: “It depends on how he plays, it depends on what he’s done; the feeling between the coach and the player, and that’s it.” “If the player is good to be with us, he’ll be with us, nothing else. And that’s always a decision I make as a coach, speaking to the player, of course. He, like I said earlier, physically, is in very good shape, and that’s what matters to the type of coach I am, and to the players, and to all Madrid.” Ronaldo has not played for Real since the 4-1 win over Juventus in the Champions League final in Cardiff, after which reports emerged from Portugal that he wanted to leave the club after being accused of tax evasion by the Spanish authorities. The Real forward, who denied any wrongdoing in a statement released by his agency Gestifute in July, has made no public statement following the original report in Portuguese newspaper Record, although Spanish media said he has decided to stay at Real.

Five Rules to Remember in Life 1. forgive your enemy but remember the bastard's name. 2. money cannot buy you happiness but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than in a bicycle. 3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they will remember you when they're in trouble again. 4. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them. 5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but then again, neither does milk. These should assist you with most daily decision choices. 3 Likes |
