For your own security, listen. This is from experience (you can also tell us if you can confirm it in your own experiences). Any time you start to notice more people greeting you like their lives depended on it, DON'T LET THEM FOOL YOU. Raise your alert level but DO NOT FEAR. Again, DO NOT FEAR OR BE WORRIED. Instead, start ruling.

I am here to share with you how I overcame such a situation in real life. I mean the forces of human jealousy. Make jealous people serve you instead of ruling you.

For instance, each time they make your heart ache, they are ruling you. They are ruling you by deciding how you feel, where or when.

You will see how to ride the storm of envy and make it favor you while fooling your detractors. I believe that this will help nearly everyone here.

First, hear this: any time you start getting extra honors from your townspeople, what it means is that YOU ARE BEGINNING TO ATTAIN RECOGNITION - obviously; isn't it? Of course, if you are attaining recognition, it's because you are excelling in something. But hear this...

When you are recognized, take the recognition if you like (I prefer you don't). You can accept the recognition if it makes you feel better. But, don't let it fool you into thinking EVERYONE RECOGNIZING YOU is happy doing that . A word is enough for a wise.

What led to the death of Chief Obafemi Awolowo? Let’s deal! The cause of Papa Awo death raises some questions. Let's look into the history of Obafemi Awolowo and last things he was involved in before his death.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo was known as a founder of nationalism in Nigeria. He was a lawyer, publisher, nationalist, and significant political figure. Obafemi Awolowo held the Premier’s chair in the Western region from 1954 until Nigeria got complete independence from the UK in 1960. Chief Awolowo took a leading role in the constitutional conferences conducted in London and Lagos which opened the path for Nigerian independence.

Obafemi Awolowo was a leader of the opposition in the first Parliament after gaining independence and was considered as a Chief of the Yoruba people.

In 1979 and 1983, Papa Awo (as he was often called) was a presidential candidate of the Unity Party. But he lost the elections to Shehu Shagari who represented National Party from the Northern part of Nigeria. When the Government of Shehu Shagari was deposed because of a military coup in the 31st of December, 1983, Chief Obafemi Awolowo moved away from political affairs.

Some reports alleged that Papa Awo committed self-murder because he wanted to stop the probable growth of military tribunal into an uprising. Chief Awolowo was going to drive it with his political allies. The main reason was the intention of General Ibrahim Babangida, Nigerian Military President, to keep the helm of the country for life at that time. Obafemi Awolowo planned to remove Ibrahim Babangida from power with the help of armed people insurrection.

But, unfortunately, one of the participants in that campaign betrayed them and handed the record of the conspiracy to the military.

When everything was revealed, General Babangida held a meeting to Chief Awolowo and threatened him with prison and exile. Then Papa Awo allegedly decided to commit self-murder instead of spending the rest of his life in prison.

But before that, Obafemi Awolowo gathered his ‘comrades-in-arms’ again. At that meeting, the name of their traitor was revealed. According to Nigerian politician Mr Adebayo Adeyinka, it was Chief Lateef Jakande, the former Executive Governor of Lagos State. Although Jakande denied his guilt, the evidence was against him. To tell the truth, the former Governor still denies that they had any disagreements with Papa Awo.

Later Chief Awolowo took poison, but the public was told that he had died in the bathroom while brushing his teeth.

Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was a political leader and true father of the nation. He believed that Nigeria should invest its resources into education and develop infrastructure.

Papa Awo organised the free of charge primary education for all pupils in the Western Region. Besides, he founded the first TV broadcast in Africa (1959). Also, Chief Awolowo provided electricity for Nigerian regions using earnings from the highly profitable cocoa export. He also led a children’s free health care program. Papa Awo created the name for Nigeria currency- Naira.

Perhaps, the time will come, and we’ll receive official and true information about Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s cause of death. Indeed, Papa Awo is a great Nigerian politician and founder of the nation. His contribution to the development of Nigeria is undeniable.

I though I would see very intelligent write-up supported with meaningful points but ended up seeing pure jealousy with poor understanding of Nigeria's political terrain.
Dangote got more support from GEJ than PMB.
When it's obvious Onyeama stole N/Delta money and established airpeace u supported him when the case was exposed u defended his crime but the hardworking Dangote who is so intelligent with foresight and careful business plan never involved himself in any business that will damage his name. He doesn't have oil rig, never entered oil business, was never a contractor, never had any deal with govt, he own abt 97% of his company share just to avoid the current accusations from children of hate.
This Dangote has family who were once richest in Africa before oil is discovered. I give u assignment to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Dangote got his money through govt. Like every Nigerian he has right to collect loan, to use all tools to succeed. Go and see how GEJ gave ur people licence to start modular refineries with billions of naira support from CBN but ended up looting the free money, but because u delusionally overlook the capacity of northerners, not expecting anything good from us that is why you're giving yourself HBP for his success.
What of Abdussamad, BUA if ur hate for Dangote is up to this extent?
Common drugs & prostitution your brothers and sisters export abroad u depend them in the name of hustle but you're accusing successful people for their hardwork.

MaxInDHouse:
Thanks for your response!

Where most Bible readers often miss out is not knowing the exact utterances that's directly referring to them.
First of all the Bible book of Mark Chapter 16 actually ended in verse 8 so the additional verses were not found in earlier manuscripts!
Secondly Jesus wasn't talking about miraculous healings when he said those that believe in him will do GREATER WORKS unless you just want to deceive yourself. Timothy was a bonafide member of the first century Christian congregation if what you're quoting is real why didn't the first century Christians heal Timothy miraculously instead of asking him to start drinking wine to manage his stomach ulcer? 1Timothy 5:23
The signs and wonders were only to show the Jews that God's promise regarding the new covenant has been fulfilled so whoever wants to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob should henceforth join the Christians.
That's why Paul told the Christians in Corinth that all those gifts WILL SEIZE {1Corinthians 13:8} and what will remain as identifying mark of pure worship is LOVE! 1Corinthians 13:13 compare to John 13:34-35

But if you want to believe otherwise it's OK, i wish you good luck in your search for Christians who are performing GREATER MIRACULOUS WORKS than Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

paxonel:
ok,
Why did the believers have to perform signs and wonders, was it for show that they have power?

paxonel:
A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah." Jesus then left them and went away

"Go into the WHOLE WORLD and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved. But he that does not believe shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover".

3. Dangote Group: With the founder of Dangote Group getting named as the richest African for the 10th time in a row this February, it's not difficult to fathom why the conglomerate is the second on this list. It would have been first if not for a reason I will disclose down below. 


Although Dangote Group took off as an FMCG firm, it's biggest concern currently is in cement production, throwing up about 46 million metric tons of cement annually. This huge output is sold across 10 African countries. 


With Dangote Group's oil refinery "expected to be one of the world's largest oil refineries once complete" according to Forbes' authoritative viewpoint, the company and its founder are expected to top world (not just African) charts back to back in a few years from now. They may even top my own list when that happens (for instance, if they solve the problem of gas scarcity for a considerable length of time)

MaxInDHouse:
Billions living today along with countless many who have died were also confused as to what Jesus meant in that statement!

First of all know that there is no one either living or dead that has ever performed Miracles closer in awesomeness to the great signs Jesus did within those three and a half years. So don't think he was talking about miraculous works otherwise Timothy a bonafide member of God's family in the house of faith in the first century would not be told to start drinking wine to manage his stomach ulcer {1Timothy 5:23} Jesus would have cured Timothy with just one word!

So what was the greater works Jesus said those who believe will do that he himself never achieved?

Well Jesus' ministry wasn't about miracles there is a purpose for which Jesus preached and taught people in the first century. The purpose was to gather obedient mankind and train them on how they can become one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4} so Jesus' ministry was commissioned for this purpose that's why he told his disciples that when they do what he asked them to do and successfully accomplish it the sign they will see before God's kingdom comes is having families throughout the earth {Mark 10:28-30} this means while Satan is achieving his own goal promoting hatred throughout the earth with Politics and Racism {Revelations 6:3-4} Jesus' true followers will be busy uniting faithful people globally {John 17:20-23} this is the good work Jesus slaved for three and a half years but couldn't even achieve among his twelve Jewish closest confidants {Luke 22:24} Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit will continue from where he stopped for this purpose to be fulfilled {John 14:26} though he wish them PEACE {John 14:27} but it won't manifest until God's Holy Spirit start teaching them how to go about it! Galatians 5:22-23

So are Christians achieving this today?

Well true followers of Christ are proving themselves to be his Witnesses globally today {Act 1:8} as true subjects of the Prince of Peace {Isaiah 9:6} they've successfully impressed in the minds of millions the LOVE for God and their neighbours, they have vowed never to raise harmful weapons against their fellowman again, they have eradicated Nepotism, Racism and Politics from their midst {Isaiah 2:2-4} and they're now know Globally as a family of worshipers that LOVE reigns among them {John 13:34-35} no matter where you may come from people know JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES will LOVE you as their family once you become one of them! Matthew 12:46-49

This is the work Jesus started but JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES have done greater than what this wonderful counselor did when he walked the earth! John 14:12

God bless you and may you have PEACE!

butterfly777:
Many Christians are doing greater works than Jesus did. Look well and you will see.

A few examples:
1. Jesus did not minister to more than a hundred thousands of people at a time. Some ministers have done that.

2. Jesus did not plant thousands of churches. Some ministers have done that.

3. Jesus did not heal people via the internet. Some ministers have done that.

Sharingiscaring:

What do you mean by "leading" souls to Christ? I understand that just ANYBODY can claim to lead souls to Christ. But, what's the GENUINE meaning of leading souls to Christ?

To answer that question, let's look at how Jesus himself led souls to himself. Matthew 4:23ff reports how he went about performing all sorts of wonders and therefore getting a multitude to FOLLOW him. In John 20:21, he said, "as the Father has sent me, so I send you". So, it means those he sent must prove their genuineness and draw people by that means as he did.

So, how are those people leading people to Christ. Every honest reading of John 14:11 - 14 shows that Jesus was referring to miraculous proofs. That's because, to be fair with people, you need to prove that you are really sent by God if you are since there are so many impostors everywhere. And to prove that it's really God who sent you, you must get that God to do what no human can do.

Now, we have all sorts of charlatans in every street corner claiming to be leading souls to Christ when they are only leading them to their bank accounts to pay and the women to their beds. It's to avoid such things obviously that Jesus would say that signs and wonders shall follow true believers in him as they followed him.

So, isn't it clear here that Jesus was talking about GREATER mighty works than just greater number of people? After all, there are religions that don't believe in Christ and they are winning greater numbers of people.

jesusjnr2020:
What you seek, you shall soon get...

... but hope you don't waste it because greater works comes with greater condemnation if you don't repent.

God bless.

thesicilian:

Without meaning to derail from the topic at hand or sound blasphemous, it is worthy of note that you realize that just as there's no proof that everyone being led to Christ today will genuinely give their lives to, or remain in Christ, so also is there no biblical proof that those who followed Jesus personally, did so out of genuine love or remained believers. Afterall, it is on record that one of his inner circle betrayed him and a great number of those who followed him were also among those who chose the release of a hardened criminal over the release of Jesus.

In other words, my initial point was strictly about the number of lives being touched for Jesus today. There are many instances of millions of people giving their lives to Christ in one single crusade, much more than in the physical days of Jesus.

paxonel:
when Jesus said his disciples will do greater works he never meant today Christians will do greater works.
Ofcourse, his disciples of that time did the works of miracles Jesus meant they will do if they follow him.
He never mentioned today Christians.
