God, the Bible is never against badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent virtuous women, but badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent virtuous women scare most men, scares most men, who are weak or ignorant. God did not chastise Eve for being a badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent virtuous woman, but He told her off for openly disregarding His express command not to eat of the fruit.
Abigail, the wife of Nabal, she is another badass strong and opinionated woman. David sent word to Abigail, after hearing that Nabal was dead, asking her to become his wife, and so she became a wife of the future King David after Nabal's death. It was being a badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent virtuous woman, that was the attraction to David.
In spite of being a badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent virtuous woman, at 1 Samuel 25:41, look at how Abigail, in a token of humility, responded to David's proposal of marriage, she replied: "Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord." Abigail, the badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent virtuous woman, brought herself down and small before David, as if she is an insignificant person, then saying to him, she wants to take care of David's servants and then referred to David, as her lord.
Many years before Abigail, used it, lord is the same adjective, Sarah, used for her husband Abraham too. Lord, is the same word we get landlord from, which means the owner of a house, apartment, condominium, land or real estate which is rented. Sarah and Abigail, were merely recognising that their husbands are their owners.
Man shouldn't fear a badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent virtuous woman, because just like in the game of chess, it's a badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent virtuous woman queen that protects the king.
The president and founder of Christ Embassy church, Chris Oyakhilome, at the video's 01:26 minute mark, made a mistake, in saying that the male partner in a marriage husband means master
"... do you know the meaning of husband. No, no I think some of you don't know. You think husband means the male, the male partner in a marriage. No, I think that's what you think. Some of you. You think husband means the male partner in a marriage. Husband does not mean the male partner in a marriage. Husband means master.
That's what it means, not the male partner in a marriage but you know, that's the reason there is a lot problems among Christians in their marriage.
I mean marriage, marriage in Christianity for most people is just a flop. Why? Because they don't agree with God's definitions. They have theirs, they say we are, they believe they're equal partners. A lot of times listen to two people that have just gotten married, a lot of times is the woman first speaks first
... let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. If you want to live according to the Bible, according to the Scriptures, then understand what the word says. The reason God made woman was because of man. He made the woman because of the man. That's why He made the woman. So women was not His original idea
Listen this is reality. Okay alright, scripture let's talk about. Let's say what the Bible says, now listen, when God have made everything and then He made Adam, the Bible says everything was very good, already, everything was very good. No problem, then he got Adam. Listen. Okay, now be quiet, let me tell you something, if most women had their father bold enough to talk to them they will be very successful in their marriage and will be very happy people. Most women have never been taught by their parents, their fathers particularly that's the biggest problem, they don't know who a man is, they think he's another woman. You see in a marriage you have the man who is the head of that Union and because he is the head of that union it is important to understand him. Now you think, he is the one that needs to understand his wife. That is where you're wrong. He will but until you know who you have married, the man that you came, it is like working for somebody and not knowing what he wants. It's like serving somebody and not knowing what he wants. When you say that you're marrying a man, you are coming under his authority. The Bible says the man is the head of the woman, so when you marry him, you're coming under his authority. You're not authority sharers, even though you are both heirs to the kingdom of God because there there is neither male nor female but we are functioning here, that's why you were given the body of a woman and he given the body of a male, so in that union in that relationship there is a head, so when you say you're marrying a man, you are subjecting yourself to his authority
Now when you decide not to subject yourself to that authority, you are a rebel. Can you see that and God's not going to accept what you're doing. He cant accept it because you're not functioning correctly. Why did God make the woman? Simple, when you start in Genesis He says this, study all the way from chapter 2 into chapter 3, you see the whole thing, now He says, He brought all the animals before Adam, to see what he would call them and name them and when he was done, the Bible tells us there was not found a suitable one for Adam, no suitable company or companion for Adam, then God said, it is now at this point I want us to read it. Some of you women when I'm through with this you'll be in a hurry to marry
Are you in Genesis? Alright chapter 2, Genesis chapter 2, from verse 18 and the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone, say the word alone, alone. He didn't say it is not good that the man should be lonely. There's a big difference between being alone and being lonely he was not lonely, he was alone and when you say alone it means alone about something. Let's go on. What God said? It is not good that the man should be alone I will make him I will make him a partner. Come on talk to me. A partner? I will make him a supervisor? No, the way some people are, I mean you see the man, the man's going and the woman is right behind you know like a supervisor. He didn't say I'll make him a supervisor. Look at your Bible again. I will make him a help. I'll make him a help. The Hebrew word is Asia, it means help, a help meet for him, help, help, a help, a help, a help qualified for him. A help, I will make him a help because he was alone. I will make him somebody to help him. I will make him somebody to help him. Why? Because God gave him a responsibility, he needed a help, not somebody to tell him what to do but a help. What's the matter with you.
If that is easily understood in every home, I don't think you have problems. I tell people you don't need a marriage seminar, you need a word seminar. If you just listen to the word of God, you wont have all this fighting. It pays to do what God says. Your strength is in being God's place where He puts you, that's your strength. Let me tell you, no husband wants another mother. Get it now, your husband doesn't want another mother. He's had one all his life. He doesn't want an older sister, he probably had one. Your secret, is in obedience, your secret, is in listening to your husband, your secret, is in doing those things that please him. When you don't do those things that please your husband, you take the role of a mother or you take the role of an older sister. What happens automatically is, he starts seeing you differently. The reaction he has for those that tried to tell him what to do, will be the reactions he'll have towards you, then you start saying I don't understand him, you will now become anyhow. You know the meaning of anyhow? First you would dress as you choose because he doesn't tell you what to do. You act as you choose because he doesn't tell you what to do you do, you do what you like because you are your own boss and you know what? A man, loves the one he serves and the one that serves him. He fights the one, that is at the level with him. You see it, so when you find your husband trying to tell you who's the owner, who is the owner of this car, you say ah ah, are we are, are we not together. You are supposed to be together but there's a problem when someone starts telling you I'm older than you. There's a reason, there's a reason because it's supposed to be obvious it means you're in rebellion and he's trying to re-emphasize some things for you. Don't create, don't make your life hard, listen to me, to be happy in your home and in your marriage is the easiest thing in the world. Just take your role, take your place, that place that God gave you is a beautiful place. Is a place of peace, is a place of love, is a place of excellence. When you come out of it, you find, it's not a husband you, you have. You call him a husband but it's not a husband. It's like what Jesus said, they call me Lord Lord but they don't do what I tell them to do. Actually every wise person listens to wise voices but he will listen to a wise voice that is presented wisely. Everyone rebels against the voice that tries to make a fool out of him so even when you tell I remember SG Elton an old man of God years ago, a Briton who came to live in Nigeria for many years before he died, he made a statement who in the meeting with him and he said the best way to destroy what you're trying to say is to try to teach your teachers, so you destroy what you're trying to say. For some of you the..." - Oyakhilome YouTube video excerpt
The president and founder of Christ Embassy church, Chris Oyakhilome, as seen from the above YouTube video clip excerpts has been preaching this lopsided, unevenly balanced, biased and distorted in a way that is makes it inaccurate, unfair, misleading and indirectly talking about his wife and rocky marriage since 2014 and even after the uneventful breakdown of same marriage on April 9, 2014, when his now ex-wife filed for divorce at the Central Family Court in London.
Oyakhilome repeats giving this wrong information and teaches again, on Rhapsody Of Realities in 2016 and also in a sermon titled "Who is a HUSBAND and what is His Role?" in same 2016, that husband does not mean the male partner in a marriage, but husband means master.
This is teaching gone totally and terribly bad because, husband, in the Bible, doesnt mean and never means master. The original Hebrew word that we get the English translation, husband from, is "ish". "Ish" means, man, as in, the woman, in the truest sense of the word, literally has herself a man. It doesnt as Oyakhilome erroneously puts it, means master. The equivalent Greek word "aner" that we get the English translation, husband from, also too, means, man
It is by the grace of God, that men have the gift that enables them to fit in, be in harmony and click with a badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent woman. I love badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent woman. It is one of the things, what attracts and attracted me to my missus and I thank God for letting me be one those guys who believes that you need a badass strong, successful, powerful and intelligent virtuous woman in my life
Contrary to another erroneous thing Oyakhilome says too, that women were an afterthought, that also is a right load of old codswallop. Men are from earth and women are from earth, so whats the big deal in that, hmm? The woman, as a matter of fact, is God's pièce de résistance. She is the best and most important creation, an exciting thing, that happened last in a series of creational things. Praise thy Lord! Hallelujah!!.
Man and woman, might have different roles to play and its true their roles might be different, but their rights are equal. Of course, the man is the head, but the woman is the neck too, and she as the neck, can turn the head whichever way she pleases. Man doesnt need to or have to demand submissiveness of his wife, because this has to come naturally by the woman's own volition and not by hook or by crook methods, like the ones preached by the president and founder of Christ Embassy church, Chris Oyakhilome. If you let your head get too big, it'll break your neck and he who waits for the sword to fall upon his neck, will surely lose his head. Cover and protect your wives. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.
You talk too much and plenty nonsense too. those women you.mentioned were they successful in their marriage yes. In their time, was they feminism? No. Their society was all Patriarchy meaning they submitted wholely to their husbands. Stop repeating terms like a broken record hoping by them you'd mKe sense.
You insult and castigate every Preacher but you get angry when someone states the obvious abt you here. Hypocrite.
budaatum: No amount of pointing Shepherd, makes a difference to righteous you who appears to value believing much higher than the fruits your believing produces.
Budaatum, I have never said I am righteous, I never imply that i am better than you or anyone for that matter. What I do is being direct with what l state, and what the Word of God states, if it burns you then check again.
Which Fruits are you talking abt? I don't know how many times I'd tell you before it sinks that blackmail don't work with me. The same thing you are doing here is the same thing satan and his agents do. because Jesus says when you are hit on the right cheek turn the left, you guys hinged on it to blackmail any Christian who attempts to fight back with 'Produce fruits'. Buda, if I have violated the teaching of Christ point me. If I have directed any personal insult to you, point me to it.
budaatum: Remove your eyes from Scripture perhaps and concentrate on the Lord God Almighty and the Messiah Jesus Christ instead.
Hmmm. This is quite interesting. I shd remove my eyes from Scriptures so that I can concentrate on the Lord God Almighty and also is Jesus Christ?.
Without the Scriptures How do you know who Jesus Christ is to concentrate on?
Budaatum, pls tell me how I can concentrate on the Lord Almighty outside the scriptures.
budaatum: Here however is Scripture all the same. Let's see if it becomes God's Word in your sight.
color=#550000] How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don’t know this, so they are all put to shame. [/color]
Meaning What? What is the relevance of this scripture here?
pressplay411: It can be tempting to gloat, but we should try not to. Grace to us all.
Bros, there's nothing to gloat about here sincerely. The reason I responded the way I did to him it's because, he had hauled curses on me before on his thread, I just laughed it away and ignored him, he started here again, like be had monopoly of curses.
I don't curse people, but he shd keep his own to himself.
MuttleyLaff: Your head still dey there, that is why. You're spiritually matured enough not to want to succumb and descend to that level Besides what they both, Shepherd00 and Anas09, are gloating at, is a mirage, an optical illusion, as it were
To Gloat means to show in an improper or selfish way that you are happy with your own success or another Person's failure.
On this note, what am I gloating about here pls? So calling pressplay to the fact that you had a plan to turn his thread to a homosexual thread gloating at your failures?
budaatum: I'm very certain you believe the above Shepherd, the pity is that you do not seem to understand it or allow it to influence your actions, or do not know what your fruits look like when perceived by others.
Well, if being blunt and direct will make the likes of you perceive me in a certain way, Buda, I don't care. You know why? I am not out to get anyone's validation. My eyes are in the scriptures. If am wrong point me to the scriptures I violate. Go on. Other than that, blackmail doesn't work with me.
MuttleyLaff: I will no more dissuade you from sharing false accounts of me or try to convince you not to invent stories about me, and get you to stop spreading untrue and fabricated lies about me too. You already risk nemesis by typing such false words, so I'll leave everything in God's Hands. The world is ruled by letting things take their course. I will let time take its course.
"US?" is a typo, which has since being removed as it wasnt meant to be in there
I am too precious to God, whose name is YHWH, that He would not watch and see me without recourse, be subjected to bad, unkind, wicked and thoughtless behaviour of anyone
You are too precious to Jehovah whose precious Words you employ every means possible to twist and destroy its sanctity.
Maybe you don't know that Pride is the Chief fruit of the Evil Spirit, then let me inform you. MuttleyLaff you are sooo proud and arrogant that, it's hard for one to reconcile you with the scriptures you quote.
If i lie about you being homosexual then curse me, and i will against my best judgement curse for Falsifying scriptures to suit your whims.
budaatum: They say nothing to you Shepherd. Thankfully, I don't say what I say because of you.
And you can't because you cannot, not even in the next life can you even attempt to confuse someone like me. You hope to confuse those who do not know New Age and how you guys have been trying to fuse it into the Teachings of Christ. But, every step you take, we catch you as tho in a trap.
budaatum: The 'Christian' Shepherd has arrived. Time for those he claims do not do Christ's will to leave the thread for him who reckons he does. Thankfully, it's a thread about idols, my first post on it which is below.
I never said anybody shd leave the thread, just stating the obvious. Being a Christian is not by claiming it. Out of the Abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. If you are a Christian, your speech at least will show.
Christian worship Jesus, believes in Jesus, believes in both the Letter and the spirit of the Word of God.
MuttleyLaff: He is trolling and I've warned him that his deliberate irreverences will have consequences. He's gone for his evening cell group meeting now. He can continue over there, in their cell group meeting, to be a pest and nuisance, whilst we have peace and tranquility reign on this thread
Who am I irreverencing you? Winders shall never end. I will Revere YHWH and Revere a homosexual. Kai. Father Lord Forgive this reprobate abeg.
MuttleyLaff,Again, I dare you to spew out that trash you call curses and we shall have a go at each other. You did it before I left you, try it again. the
MuttleyLaff: MuttleyLaff was laughing at the Goshen360 "... the ones refuting those falsehood now in this age and time are being looked at as the rebels" comment and not whatever Shepherd00 is mischievously making up to mislead us others about
Who are the "US?". Hahahahahahahaha. How many gays here have attempted to come out to support your crusade? Poor you.
MuttleyLaff: Shepherd00 please dont tempt the fate. It is tempting fate to be goading me and encouraging others to come join you stir up things concerning me. You are taking unnecessary and undue risks doing this
Let me.remine you Muttleylaff. If you come at me physically, I assure you that your hands cannot reach my skin, if you come at me diabolically, (For only a man who has confidence in his diabolical powers wld be threading people) which it appears you can, it shall come back to you. If you think you know me enough to lay curses on me, try it again.
MuttleyLaff: If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, or hear it with your own ears that I am a homosexual, why are you inventing it with your small mind and sharing it with your big mouth, hmm?
If a 5yrs old reads your post in this forum, what conclusion do you think he will draw? That you are just an activist or a closet homosexual who claims Christianity and by all means wants to lay a soft bed to land on when he comes out Screaming 'I am a gay Christian and I am a man of god?" Biko shift.
MuttleyLaff: Be it on your head for maliciously and incorrectly be calling me a homosexual man of god. Amen.
You know what? I don't need to curse a cursed man. You are already cursed Here is the Word for you The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked... And because you take a stand against the Lord, and have the audacity to falsify God's Word to justify Sin, Cursed is any man who blesses you. Anyone who wishes you well, misfortunes will not depart from him and his house. Whatever gives you pleasure shall become a snare to you. MuttleyLaff, don't make speak against you o. Just mind yourself.
MuttleyLaff: What lies. The truth you fail to embrace today, will expose you tomorrow. Truth in time, will always tell and tell on you, it'll always and finally perfectly will do.
Exactly. Let's wait and see how you'd come out soon declaring yourself as a homosexual pastor. After all, you copy from GayChristians101 website freely.
MuttleyLaff: Just keep in mind, that, whom who laughs last, laughs the hardest and best
Just Negodu? Who is interested in your stupid laughter?
budaatum: And where did buda say "the Bible is not the Word of God" Shepherd, or that it is not "profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness"?
Wait, it's like you really forget what you post. Really?
MuttleyLaff: What is your problem Shepherd00? Have I ever told you or confided in you that I am homosexual ni?
What are you gaining from making false accusations about my sexuality, hmm?
I havent been threading you nor threatening you, but I have been forewarning you to desist from your wayward and attention-seeking bad behaviour.
Please make this the last time, who'll ever in your Nairaland life, call me a homosexual, especially when I am not one. OK?
You go gree? Dem say shit wey go smell Na for mess dem dey take know am. You no be gay, but Every thread you go, you dey carry the matter for head like gala.
Finally, we don't need to be guessing, we now openly know who the Nairaland homosexual man of god is. Weldone o.
MuttleyLaff, this time I won't ignore you, I dare you to threaten me or release those your stupid curses again. You'd know that not only you know curses to release. You are warned.
Try it again, let's see if the homosexual god you worship can strike a Child of Light. Nonsense.
I am a true son of the Almighty God, Yahweh, a vengeful God. God keeps me as the apple of His eye and hides me in the shadow of His wings. Anyone who contends with me, contends with God. He stands up against those who stand up against me. You have been warned, so beat it!
What is so hard in that? Now we officially have a homosexual man of god in Nairaland. Isn't that nice?
John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. He whom God calls and sends, speaks the word of God, not falsify it.
If you believe you can be fuquing your fellow men and still call the wrath of YHWH on people, I dare you again to try.
MuttleyLaff, you have been threatening me in this forum and I always laugh at you, but, if you push me too hard, it won't be God I will be calling against you, it will be the demons you serve.
The next time you open you anus or another man opens his anus to you, your penis shall be stuck and it shall end in your deaths so that you can go and meet your god. Nonsense. Be warned.
Except for you, everyone can read, everyone can read to see that, I, from Page 0 started this thread with OP without introducing anything about same sex attraction. The evidence is shown above with the interaction between elaated177 and budaaatum
Yes, you started, but along the line you are trying to turn it to a homosexual thread like you tried to do to mine sometime ago.
Go to your dry thread. Since we dumped you, you ve been running around looking for a way to talk about men sexing men. Na so the thing dey do you?
No, they don't, so if you say I'm wrong, all I need do is create some chance for myself and dig through the threads and will post where you say you are not a Christian here.
budaatum: That's news to me. Why do you think I have a problem with the Bible?
You don't know what the Word of God is, hence you distinguish it from the Bible. Even when the Holy Spirit says "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2 Timothy 3:16
How can someone who understands what this verse say that the Bible is not the Word of God? It's like saying, "Julius Caesar" is not the Words of Shakespeare.
