Health › Re: Masturbation: I Think I Have PE And ED, I'm Just 20 by SeedofDavid: 7:02am On Jul 05, 2018
helppppp:
I would be more than happy to live without it one day. But it looks like prayer doesn't work with it. More thing that give me the reason to question religion at times. I have told God all the way I can. I pray all the time! Omg!
the problem is not God nor religion but you.... do you expect God to come hold your hand whenever you want to maturbate or He should give you stroke so your arms become useless against the act?
Acquire knowledge and learn to discipline yourself. its like stealing and blaming God (or even the devil)...
Christianity Etc › Re: Atheist Teen Escapes North Korea And Finds Jesus. by SeedofDavid: 6:50am On Jul 05, 2018

His Name is Joseph Kim

After his father died, his mother abandoned him to go to China in search of food. So Joseph Kim, at 12 years old, became homeless, left to fend for himself in the throes of the great famine of North Korea, which started four years after the USSR collapsed and withdrew its financial support for the communist state.

With no one to turn to, Kim joined other streets urchins begging in the marketplace: “May I have your last spoonful of soup?” he asked with a plaintive cry.

But his stomach was never filled from the handouts of a few gracious diners in his native town.

“They called us kkotjebi, ‘wandering sparrows,’ because of the way we would bend over and look for grains of rice or kernels of corn on the ground,” he said.

Next he resorted to stealing. He quit pilfering manhole covers because if he got caught he would face execution (since the manhole covers belong to the state and any crime against the state was severely punished). He fell in with a band of thieves who believed they were re-distributing wealth. His comrades eventually were arrested, but mercifully, he was absent when the police raided.

“The famine had thinned out the village, as many of our friends lost grandmothers, aunts, sons and cousins,” Kim wrote in his 2015 book Under the Same Sky: From Starvation in North Korea to Salvation in America. “The graves climbed up the mountainside as if it were infected with a virus.”

The young Kim tried the exhausting and dangerous work of coal mining. With no safety equipment and hand-powered ventilation, Kim eked out an existence for three months. But mining only lasted until you died, and with no safety standards, death was usually inevitable.

His relatives entertained him for a time, but some of them were desperately struggling themselves, and another mouth to feed at the table was the last thing they wanted. A few relatives were simply greedy and lazy.

Without an immediate family, “either you lived with rich relatives or you stole – or you died,” Kim observes grimly. “Really, those were your only options.”

When he was guarding his uncle’s vegetable crops (from thieves like himself), he met an ex-convict who imparted a wonderful secret: If he managed to elude authorities and defect to China, the Christian churches there would give him money.

What was a Christian church? Kim wondered. Raised in the closed and atheistic totalitarian regime, he had been taught to revere the country’s leader and distrust outsiders – especially Americans and Japanese, who had no greater pleasure than to drive bayonets through North Koreans.

“Why do Christians give money to strangers?” Kim asked the ex-convict.


“It’s just what Christians do,” he replied. “They give things away. They’re not like normal people.
”

One day, almost on a whim, with no previous planning or preparation, he decided to cross the frozen Tumen River bordering China on foot in plain daylight. His audacity contributed to his success. No one ever dared defect during the day. At night, those who got caught were either shot or tortured in prison.

When North Korean soldiers finally caught sight of him on the far side of the river, their shouts were more of astonishment than outrage. Not a shot was fired. He was only 14 years old.

Once in China, Kim decided he would try to find his long-lost sister, Bong Sook, who had been sold off by their mother – either to be wedded or to sex exploitation, he didn’t know which. But before he could find her, he had to avoid capture by Chinese soldiers who would send him back to North Korea, where he would be imprisoned.

When he knocked on doors in the countryside asking for food, some Chinese were gruff and told him to go away. He had heard about the limitless riches of China and couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t share. A few gave him food. He slept in an abandoned house or under the stars.

Eventually, Kim made his way to the city of Yanji, where he looked for churches. He asked for money, and some of them gave. One kindly pastor’s wife took him in, even though, he learned later, she didn’t have money to fix her husband’s teeth at the dentist.

After a few weeks, someone in the church hired Kim for household help. He called the elderly Christian lady “Grandma,” with whom he lived now, and she taught him many things about the Bible.


Except for the longing to find his sister and see his mother (who was in prison in North Korea for defecting to China), he was happy. He was eating his fill, dressing his version of cool and reading the Bible, which he slowly began to understand.

Once when he sang a hymn with Grandma, he was deeply moved by the lyrics: “Father, I stretch my hands to Thee, No other help I know; If Thou withdraw Thyself from me, Ah! Whither shall I go?”

The Holy Spirit touched his heart and imparted saving faith. “I felt something pierce my heart,” Kim recalls. “I understood this. This was my life. That night alone in my room, I began to cry.

He attempted to talk to God for the first time. “I don’t know who you are,” he said. “I don’t understand the Scripture. But I’m surrendering myself to you.”

At that pivotal moment of submission to Jesus as his Lord and Savior, Kim was born again.


Not long afterward, a missionary visited Kim and explained to him the option to go to the U.S. as a political refugee. At first he didn’t like the idea because he remembered the North Korean indoctrination that Americans are evil.

But after praying, he agreed to go to a shelter partially funded by Liberty in North Korea, an activist group dedicated to resettling North Koreans in America. That’s where he met “Adrian,” who agreed to take him to freedom.

So as to not arouse suspicion of patrolling Chinese immigration officials, Adrian taught Kim and two other North Korean refugees to act like rowdy Korean-American tourists. Once in the market, Kim grabbed his fellow North Korean in a headlock that drew stares and mutterings from the local Chinese about the poor behavior of Americans.


Adrian bought them American clothes, and Kim was transformed into a “skater type – baseball cap turned to the side, bright graphic T-shirt and narrow pants.” Decked out as new personas, they rode the train to Shenyang.

There, they were taken to the U.S. consulate. But when the guard subjected Kim to a black wand metal detector search, Kim panicked. He thought he was being arrested.

Seeing the terror in his face, Adrian realized he should have explained the drill beforehand. “You’re safe now!” he shouted to Kim.

After months of paperwork, Kim was flown to the U.S. and moved in with host families. He attended high school and became a speaker on behalf of human rights organizations. He currently attends Bard College on full-ride scholarship in New York.

He is serving Jesus, happy and free. His only remorse is for his mother and his sister, Bong Sook, whom he still longs to see
. Once while giving a speech in Scotland, he opted to sleep in the airport under a glass roof that allowed him see the stars. He meditated that somewhere in China was his cherished sister, maybe seeing the same stars.

“I wonder what you are doing tonight,” he whispered. “Are you warm and safe like me? I will not forget you. Right now, we only share the stars. I can look up at night and see that you are under the same sky.”

That is how he came up with the title of his autobiography, Under the Same Sky. While he doesn’t know what’s happened to his mother, Kim believes one day he will be reunited with his beloved, long-sought sister.

Hallelujah for the Lord God Omnipotent reigns supreme...


Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

Jamariwolff:
I sin sexually everyday , either by masturbation or fornication. Yes, every single day, i commit sexual sin.

Pls help me someone, the urge is overpowering me. I can't do nothing, i feel empty afterwards but still.....

Oh Lord.
A lot of ideas have been projected to you but I believe you can descern the reasonable ones. There are things you can do to ultimately over this burden
- Acquire knowledge from the bible and seasoned authors on spiritual topics. read, read and read again, knowledge is power. The bible makes us to understand that increasing in knowledge of Christ Jesus also increases your Grace in him.
- Also get committed to God genuinely. The enemy wants you to feel bad so you condemn yourself and draw further away from God. Understand this trick so that you don't end up being the one to condemn yourself. The enemy has no power to condemn you.
- You can (and should) engage in the prayer and fasting suggested above, make sure you are thoroughly committed to it and ensure to fall in love with the bible throughout said period with readiness to realign yourself to it's dictates. It will among many other things purge your mind.

Take care my sister...

WAIT, HOW DO YOU THINK WE GOT TO THIS POINT?



RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE RIDICULOUS, AND DESERVE TO BE RIDICULED.



I GUESS IN YOUR RECORD NOTHING IS WISER THAN THIS ONE SLITHERING GUY WHO GAVE YOUR GREAT GRANDMA THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT.



THE SUREST WAY TO NEVER KNOW ANYTHING IS TO BE IGNORANT ABOUT EVERYTHING.



TO BELIEVE IN NONSENSE IS TO LIMIT YOURSELF TERRIBLY.

Christianity Etc › Re: Witchcraft And Dreams. by SeedofDavid: 5:46am On Apr 24, 2018
Revadebola:
WITCHCRAFT AND DREAMS.


I heard the true life story of a woman. One night she slept in her bedroom, while her two sons also slept in the children's bedroom.
Then she had a dream. In her dream, her biological elder sister was demanding for blood repeatedly from her.

She woke up from that dream and suddenly heard one of her son coughing from their bedroom.
She ran to the children's bedroom to attend to the child.
Surprisingly, the child was coughing out blood.
The child coughed out blood profusely, then suddenly died instantly.
That is the spirit of witchcraft at work through the dream of that woman.

Witchcraft can appear to people in their dreams and use such dreams to attack them.

These are dreams that implies the activities and attacks of witchcraft : being forced to eat, sexual assault, seeing dead people, dream of coffin, dreams seeing yourself naked, dreams seeing yourself amidst feces, dreams seeing yourself back to your village, among former school mates, seeing yourself in graveyards, dreams of frightened animals e.g, cats, snakes, lions, dogs etc these animals, are used as symbols of witchcraft in your dreams.

Don't ignore any of these dreams. You have suffered enough. Enough is enough! Chat immediately for prayers and what to do and be delivered from witchcraft.
While praying today, the Lord said to me, that a reader of this post has been suffering from severe household witchcraft attacks. It has affected virtually all your life endeavors. I want to pray for you. Don't let the spirit and agents of witchcraft stop you.


PRAYER POINTS :
1. In Jesus Name I bind every spirit of witchcraft attacking me.
2. Use Isaiah 49:24-26 (KJV)
"Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the Lord , Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob".

Quote the above scripture to pray for yourself and your children.
3. Cover yourself with the Blood of Jesus from witchcraft attacks.
4. Holy Spirit let Your fire consume every witchcraft power round my life.

SeedofDavid:
hello, please what provisions are in place for beneficiaries who require loans/grants in order to properly build/establish their businesses? can provisions be made to ensure these people don't go back to doing nothing when the program ends?
Please note that these people have some savings towards this and (and in some cases) some materials required for the business they want to establish.

Travel › Re: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 13 by SeedofDavid: 1:00pm On Feb 10, 2018
Hello FAM, please I'll like a clarification... I'm hearing that if one does his/her PGD at a college, they cannot use it to proceed to Masters. Please how true is this?

mcobex:
Bro, your question has been answered by @Austinpee4. Check previous pages and you will see his advise.
To add a little, I don't think schools in Canada accept PGD for MSc. Also you will need do the search for schools offering your intended course on Google by yourself. check out memorial university of newfoundland, uni Saskatchewan and others .
I think your best bet is to go for PGD cos of your 3rd class, though most schools consider your last two semesters grades, if your grades are superb then apply for MSc but if not then go for PGD. Best of luck
Thank you sir for your kind response. @austinpee4 was actually responding to another moniker but the points he made were able to answer some of my questions and guide me.


Thanks once again.

A very good day to everyone in the house, please I require assistance and would appreciate every single response I'm able to get so that I can make a good decision with respect to my graduate studies.
(I graduated with a 3rd class but would like to further my degree).

1. Can I get admitted to a Masters/PGD program with my grade?

2. If it is possible for me to get the admission, can you help me with higher institutions to focus on (as I understand some schools are certainly more competitive than others)?

3. If the best route for me is a PGD, would I be able to proceed for a masters degree (either in same school or another), as I would like to end up with said degree ultimately.

God bless you Sirs and Madams.
