Religion / Re: Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional 2024 by Skyfornia(m): 6:15am On May 30 |
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL THURSDAY 30TH MAY 2024. Pastor Chris THEME: HIS LIGHT IS IN YOUR SPIRIT THEME SCRIPTURE: The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly (Proverbs 20:27). As God’s children, we’re never in the dark about anything. You can know anything because the light of God is in your spirit. The Lord Jesus said in John 8:12, “...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” You’re not supposed to walk in darkness about your finances, your health, your career, business, and ministry or in any area of your life. If you ever find yourself in a situation where it seems you’re at a loss for answers concerning a situation, speak in tongues. As you speak in tongues, the mystery about that situation will come to your understanding. If you have concerns about your health, don’t just run to the doctors or places you think you might find help. Consult with the Holy Spirit first; you’ll be amazed how quickly His light and wisdom will well up within you, showing you precisely what to do. He’s in you to help you understand certain things about yourself and about life. He’ll show you the future and guide you to take specific steps in line with His plans for your life. John 16:13 says, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” Learn to follow His light and guidance from within you. prayer Dear Father, as I speak in tongues today, the eyes of my understanding are flooded with light. I walk in divine wisdom and my life is upward and forward only because I follow the light and guidance of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Ephesians 1:17-18 AMPC [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, 18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God. Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, *DAILY SCRIPTURE READING* *1-Year Bible Reading Plan=>* John 15:1-17 & 1 Chronicles 3-4 2-Year Bible Reading Plan=>* 1 Corinthians 14:20-30 & Proverbs 26 CONGRATULATIONS, THE MONTH OF PROPHECY AND OUR YEAR OF REDEMPTION |

*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_ *DATE:* THURSDAY, 30TH MAY, 2024 *THEME:* GOD'S JUDGMENT OVER THE ENEMIES OF HIS PEOPLE *TEXT:* OBADIAH 1: 1-14 (NKJV) 1:1. The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom (We have heard a report from the LORD, And a messenger has been sent among the nations, [saying,] "Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle": 1:2. "Behold, I will make you small among the nations; You shall be greatly despised. 1:3. The pride of your heart has deceived you, [You] who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high; [You] who say in your heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?' 1:4. Though you ascend [as] high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down," says the LORD. 1:5. " If thieves had come to you, If robbers by night -- Oh, how you will be cut off! -- Would they not have stolen till they had enough? If grape-gatherers had come to you, Would they not have left [some] gleanings? 1:6. "Oh, how Esau shall be searched out! [How] his hidden treasures shall be sought after! 1:7. All the men in your confederacy Shall force you to the border; The men at peace with you Shall deceive you [and] prevail against you. [Those who eat] your bread shall lay a trap for you. No one is aware of it. 1:8. "Will I not in that day," says the LORD, "Even destroy the wise [men] from Edom, And understanding from the mountains of Esau? 1:9. Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau May be cut off by slaughter. 1:10. " For violence against your brother Jacob, Shame shall cover you, And you shall be cut off forever. 1:11. In the day that you stood on the other side -- In the day that strangers carried captive his forces, When foreigners entered his gates And cast lots for Jerusalem -- Even you [were] as one of them. 1:12. But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother In the day of his captivity; Nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah In the day of their destruction; Nor should you have spoken proudly In the day of distress. 1:13. You should not have entered the gate of My people In the day of their calamity. Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction In the day of their calamity, Nor laid [hands] on their substance In the day of their calamity. 1:14. You should not have stood at the crossroads To cut off those among them who escaped; Nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained In the day of distress. *MESSAGE:* Understanding the historical relationship between Edom and Israel will help us to understand the animosity that the Edomites had towards Israelites, which later resulted in their destruction. Esau was the father of the Edomites and Jacob the father of Israel. It seems that Esau's anger towards his brother, Jacob, was passed on to his descendants. The Edomites seized every chance they had to fight Israel. They did not only rejoice over Israel's captivity, but also took over his possession. Therefore, because of their evil behaviour, God condemned them to termination as a nation. God sent nations to rise up against them in battle, to make them small and to bring them down completely (vv.1, vv 2 & vv 4). The fulfilment of their destruction happened about A. D. 70 when their land was ruined economically by the Arab invaders and later conquered by the Romans. It is time Christians should beware of God's judgment that begins even from this world. Christians should beware of their actions to their neighbours while avoiding issues that can transpire between families and eventually lead to generational battles. God is a Righteous Judge; He will surely judge everyone according to their wickedness against their neighbours. God encourages brotherly love among brethren so that people can live together in peace and harmony. Christians should also learn not to take laws into their hands, especially at this trying period when we face persecutions from other faiths but rather call upon God to fight against the enemies of Christian faith. *prayer:* Lord, please help us live together in love and peace, in Jesus name. _*Amen!*_ *QUOTE FOR THE DAY* God says: _"Those who overcome will eat from the tree of life in paradise."_ *Revelation 2: 7* |

When i use the word spirituality, I'm not talking about God who is a spirit or some other kind of Spirits,deities and religions or even doctrinal beliefs of the church or even that of satanism(atheism). I am talking about ritualism. Yes, it is true that ritualism is an aspect of spirituality, but there has never been any outcome of fortune or misfortune from any of the practices. Ritualism generally, whether they are practiced in the church as performing miracles or some sort of group prayer in church, or in a babalawo shrine or any form of incantational practice, are all vague deception, thats what i mean.

Religion / Re: Did Jesus Want To Be Crucified, And Why? by Explore2xmore: 11:29pm On May 29 |
Ohyoudidnt: Indeed it is tiresome discussing with these folk especially those that claim an awareness beyond religion. You are very much correct as prayer is a powerful tool for expressing our grievances and frustrations to a higher power. When we turn to prayer as a complaint, we are acknowledging our feelings of discontent and seeking comfort and resolution from the divine. Most Christians view Jesus's crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for humanity. More so Hebrew 7:27 reads unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. Yet Jesus said in Matthew 26:39...... Father, if it’s possible, let this cup ⌞of suffering⌟ be taken away from me. But let your will be done rather than mine. Did Jesus not know this was how it will play out? Did the script authors feel they can turn on and off his willingness without care? In any case the OP is simply asking if Jesus Wanted To Be Crucified, And Why? It seems this will be in obedience to God the father who is also Jesus as said by their majority. 1 Like |
Religion / Re: What Exactly Is The Difference Between These 2 religious Practices. by honesttalk21: 10:56pm On May 29 |
SIRTee15: Libation of the Polytheists is for gods (plural/polytheism) not God. You can insist for your satisfaction that the aforementioned isn't true. Ask your traditionalist friends or acquaintances if other gods exist as well as the ones they pour libation for? Have you bothered to study the the chain of transmission and the text of hadith that say the black stone grants forgiveness? Please provide the text of the prayer made to the black stone asking it for forgiveness and a report of its response otherwise stop repeating what is untruth. Do you not see how illogical your claim of a black stone being white then turned black due to sins is? When you paint your house with high quality paint does it not darken over years of exposure to natural element? I thought you are a professional of advanced scientific learning? Why is it not called the once white but blackened stone or any other such variant? Give statistically representative evidence of people that saw it when it was white. I figure you have another repugnant untruthful response to this. Why prophet Muhammad kissed the stone has been explained before. His forefather's placed it after it came to earth. Do you not know how certain treasure passed from generation to generation are valued? When footballers win even the world cup don't they kiss it despite replicas being made for tournaments? This stone is the same over several millennia. How is Allah's time shared? It seems you don't know all the rights of hajj are in worship of Allah. Just noticed you repeat the usual slander of the age of Aisha that is definitely a lie. Scrutiny of this by scholars do not agree with this. https://newlinesmag.com/essays/oxford-study-sheds-light-on-muhammad-underage-wife-aisha/#:~:text=According%20to%20Little%2C%20the%20claim,of%20Aisha%20against%20Shiite%20detractors. https://www.academia.edu/37720516/A_Hadith_Scholar_Presents_New_Evidence_that_Aisha_was_Near_18_the_Day_of_Her_Marriage_to_the_Prophet_Muhammad?email_work_card=title It is an over flogged case and has no direct relation with your originally asked question or do you now equate the prophet's marriage to the primary acts of worshipping Allah?

Religion / Life Is Eternal by Mogbonjubola55: 10:35pm On May 29 |
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. Titus 1:2 Life is a glorious opportunity, if it is used to condition us for eternity. If we fail in this, though we succeed in everything else, our life will have been a failure. There is no escape for the man who squanders his opportunity to prepare to meet God. Our lives are also immortal. God made man different from the other creatures. He made him in His own image, a living soul. When this body dies and our earthly existence is terminated, the soul lives on forever. One thousand years from this day, you will be more alive than you are at this moment. The Bible teaches that life does not end at the cemetery. There is a future life with God for those who put their trust in His Son, Jesus Christ. prayer Thank You for the eternal life in Christ and for the peace that comes over me because of this triumphant promise! Today help me relay this joyous news to those around me by: Evang. Billy Graham |

Ohyoudidnt:Jesus Christ never once referred to Himself as a sacrifice though. Neither, did He suggest that His Father sacrificed Him. The God of Israel never suggested the Messiah He would send as some sort of sacrifice. So, again,where does this connection of yours come from? 2. So, prayer is no longer about Asking, seeking and knocking but about complaining? Ok! What is instead written is that Jesus Christ did not desire the curse but was submitted to God's Will even if it include the curse. But anyways the thing, the God of Israel,to whom Jesus Christ prayed the prayers that He did never gave any decree against such. So why are you dead set on making an issue of something that God Himself never said to be an issue? Please move on! |

Religion / Re: Manipulation Of Bible Verses In The Jehovah's Witness Bible by FxMasterz: 5:53pm On May 29 |
MaxInDHouse: That forgiveness statement of Jesus covered all of them. Both soldiers and Pharisees because they're still part of the people for whom Christ shed His blood. He shed His blood for ALL - including those soldiers and Pharisees. Are you saying Christ hung on that cross with unforgiveness in His heart towards the Pharisees? Only demons have such a message. If this is what JW taught you, it further confirms the demonism in that cult Look here, how many times did the Pharisees offend Jesus Christ? Was it up to 70 x 7 times in one day? Mathew 18:21-25 "Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven." That prayer of Christ covers for all. Not only for the soldiers and the Pharisees but for all scorners of all ages who scorn and persecute the name of Christ from that time till this day. 2 Likes |

Kobojunkie: Indeed Jesus was not a child but is repeated referred to as son of God. How different is a son of God from a child of God? Abraham who was performing the sacrifice is not classified as a child but the father. prayer and complaining can coexist within our relationship with God. We may start with a complaint, but ultimately turn to prayer for strength, guidance, and hope. From a desire against something to a desire for something comes the prayer. Kobojunkie: Didn't you say Kobojunkie: Is there reference to the Gospel in the Galatians and are the two not part of the Biblical scripture? Seems you forgot. Jesus didn't die for mankind but this is said of him. Jesus is also said to be God who is reported to say he so loved the world that he gave his 'only begotten son' that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. This is in line with John 3:16. The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is seen as an expression of God’s love and mercy towards humanity. See Matthew 16:21, Mark 8:31etc. Did Paul not say in 1 Corinthians 15:14-17 that And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith? Was this statement of Paul not in reference to the Gospel? The point again is as recorded by the scripture and Gospel; if Jesus knew he was to suffer many things including death why then did he pray against it and attempt to have the disciples guard against his capture to fulfilling this? Does it mean that Jesus the son of God did not fully submit to the will of God? I end my submissions. |

Ohyoudidnt:1. I didn't limit the Gospel, God Himself did! God of Israel declared that no man can add, remove, or change anything declared in His Laws, of which the Gospel is one. 2. Galatians is not the Gospel/Law of God. If you are not able to debate only that contained in the Gospel as indicated by the OP, then no point. 3. First of all, Jesus Christ never said He was a sacrifice like Isaac so I don't understand the connection the other attempted to make. Second, there is no decree given by God that man is not to ask particular things in prayer. Third, Jesus Christ never said He died for mankind. Now to the fourth, Jesus Christ prophesied of His Death in Matthew 12 vs 40, Mark 8:31-33, Mark 9 vs 30-32, Mark 10 vs 32-34, Matthew 17 vs 22–23 & Luke 9 vs 43–45 & John 10 vs 7-18 & Luke 18 vs 31-34 & Luke 9 vs 21-22. Following what is presented in the Gospels regarding His death, He did not mention before Gethsemane, that He would need to drink the cup of God's poison in any of the above references. I hope you are done with this meaningless back and forth at this point cause this seems more and more an attempt to convolute that which is simply stated in the Gospels out of ignorance. |

Politics / Tension In Ikam/ Takum Taraba As The Governor About To Demolish TAKUM PALACE by karmaolu1(m): 2:24pm On May 29 |
THE PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF TAKUM CENTRAL MOSQUE AND UKWE TAKUM PALACE: A CALL FOR URGENT INTERVENTION You would recall that on 13th May, 2024, Justice Ali Bappa of Taraba State High Court set aside the notice of appeal from the Court of Appeal, Yola, and dismissed the suit by the Kuteb Ruling family challenging the Order (Law) by Taraba State Government. The Taraba State Governor had sponsored an Executive Bill to the State House of Assembly which was processed and signed into law within five days. The Law created rotational rulership of the First Class Stool of Takum, adding Chamba and Kpanzon tribes to ascend to the Stool along with the Kuteb tribe which has been the sole occupant of the Paramount throne since inception in 1914. The Law also changed the title of the Stool from Ukwe Takum to Chief of Takum to allow for this unpopular, unhealthy and unacceptable participation. It will surprise you to know that on 13th May, as soon as Justice Bappa finished his sitting at 7:30pm, His Excellency Dr Agbu Kefas announced the appointment of Barr Sopiya Ahmadu as the First Class Chief of Takum, and presentation of staff of office was done at the Government House Chamber by 8:30pm, one hour after the negotiated judicial exercise. The following day being Tuesday, 14th May, the Governor escorted the new Chief under tight security to Takum, and the reception was done on Saturday 18th May. Since the case is in the Court of Appeal Yola, the Kutebs by the instruction of Ukwe Takum, HRH Rimamnyang Habu Ahmadu II have remained calmed trusting that the Judiciary, which is believed to be the hope of the common man will do justice to the facts to be presented. By this appeal, the Kutebs are acting by faith, though our Elder Statesman General T.Y Danjuma (retired) publicly boasted during the reception of his Chief of Takum on 18th May, 2024, that the Kutebs will only waste their scarce resources on lawyers, and will never get any justice. He instructed Governor Agbu Kefas to defend his fraudulent Law and actions. Which means the General and the Governor are armed financial to purchase justice wherever the Kutebs will go with their appeals. O' God, give us sincere Judges with characters different from that of Justice Ali Bappa of Taraba State High Court. PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF TAKUM CENTRAL MOSQUE AND UKWE TAKUM PALACE The Taraba State Government has concluded plans to demolish the Takum Central Mosque and the ancient Ukwe Takum Palace, in the name of urban road expansion. There are so many roads needing urgent attention in Taraba State, and even in Takum. Why should this place be the starting point? If the Governor wants to build a new Mosque, why can't he finish the new one before demolishing the old? Will the new Mosque be attached to the new Palace that the Governor wants to build? Is it because the Governor appointed a person whose tribe or ancestors have never held any Paramount traditional Stool in Takum that he wants to demolish the palace together with the graves of past Kuteb Paramount Rulers to eliminate every reference to past rulership? If the Governor believes that the Chamba and Kpanzon are rightful heirs to the First Class Stool of Takum, why does he want to demolish the palace and build a new one at a different location? The First Class Stool of Takum is not a new one, and the Ukwe Takum palace land is large enough to accommodate any new structure that the Governor wants to introduce.

Politics / Tension In Ikam/ Takum Taraba As The Governor About To Demolish TAKUM PALACE by karmaolu1(m): 2:16pm On May 29 |
THE PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF TAKUM CENTRAL MOSQUE AND UKWE TAKUM PALACE: A CALL FOR URGENT INTERVENTION You would recall that on 13th May, 2024, Justice Ali Bappa of Taraba State High Court set aside the notice of appeal from the Court of Appeal, Yola, and dismissed the suit by the Kuteb Ruling family challenging the Order (Law) by Taraba State Government. The Taraba State Governor had sponsored an Executive Bill to the State House of Assembly which was processed and signed into law within five days. The Law created rotational rulership of the First Class Stool of Takum, adding Chamba and Kpanzon tribes to ascend to the Stool along with the Kuteb tribe which has been the sole occupant of the Paramount throne since inception in 1914. The Law also changed the title of the Stool from Ukwe Takum to Chief of Takum to allow for this unpopular, unhealthy and unacceptable participation. It will surprise you to know that on 13th May, as soon as Justice Bappa finished his sitting at 7:30pm, His Excellency Dr Agbu Kefas announced the appointment of Barr Sopiya Ahmadu as the First Class Chief of Takum, and presentation of staff of office was done at the Government House Chamber by 8:30pm, one hour after the negotiated judicial exercise. The following day being Tuesday, 14th May, the Governor escorted the new Chief under tight security to Takum, and the reception was done on Saturday 18th May. Since the case is in the Court of Appeal Yola, the Kutebs by the instruction of Ukwe Takum, HRH Rimamnyang Habu Ahmadu II have remained calmed trusting that the Judiciary, which is believed to be the hope of the common man will do justice to the facts to be presented. By this appeal, the Kutebs are acting by faith, though our Elder Statesman General T.Y Danjuma (retired) publicly boasted during the reception of his Chief of Takum on 18th May, 2024, that the Kutebs will only waste their scarce resources on lawyers, and will never get any justice. He instructed Governor Agbu Kefas to defend his fraudulent Law and actions. Which means the General and the Governor are armed financial to purchase justice wherever the Kutebs will go with their appeals. O' God, give us sincere Judges with characters different from that of Justice Ali Bappa of Taraba State High Court. PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF TAKUM CENTRAL MOSQUE AND UKWE TAKUM PALACE The Taraba State Government has concluded plans to demolish the Takum Central Mosque and the ancient Ukwe Takum Palace, in the name of urban road expansion. There are so many roads needing urgent attention in Taraba State, and even in Takum. Why should this place be the starting point? If the Governor wants to build a new Mosque, why can't he finish the new one before demolishing the old? Will the new Mosque be attached to the new Palace that the Governor wants to build? Is it because the Governor appointed a person whose tribe or ancestors have never held any Paramount traditional Stool in Takum that he wants to demolish the palace together with the graves of past Kuteb Paramount Rulers to eliminate every reference to past rulership? If the Governor believes that the Chamba and Kpanzon are rightful heirs to the First Class Stool of Takum, why does he want to demolish the palace and build a new one at a different location? The First Class Stool of Takum is not a new one, and the Ukwe Takum palace land is large enough to accommodate any new structure that the Governor wants to introduce. No need for relocation of the palace. THE NEED TO SAVE TAKUM FROM BLOODSHED Demolishing a Mosque and Chiefdom palace can easily touch people's emotions, and nobody can predict or guarantee the reactions that will come with it. We know the Governor is under obligation to implement the full script of General Danjuma, but he should exercise restraint on issues that are tension loaded. prayer We are calling on the President and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, the Vice President Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Senate President, Speaker, Federal House of Representatives, National Security Adviser, the Inspector-General of Police, Service Chiefs, DG Department of State Security, etc, to urgently prevail on Dr Agbu Kefas, the Executive Governor of Taraba State to stop his plans to demolish Takum Central Mosque and Ukwe Takum Palace, as that is not in the interest of peace.
