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.

Jokes Etc / Five Rules To Remember In Life by SageSleek(m): 11:57pm On Aug 07, 2017
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.
