Living in Nigeria is a thousand time better than going to hell, No degree of suffering anywhere on earth pcan equate the suffering in Hell. This is the sober! Matt 5:29-30 |
amaniro:Neither religion nor adherence to beneficial cultural values are causes of black man's underdevelopment, it is rather due to endemic docility, insatiable greediness and lack of quality/visionary leadership. |
Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Jesus did not die to give us license to do what suits us, we are under obligation to do the will of God even much better than the old testament folks. For the simple reason that the law which was once written on a table of stone is now written on the table of our hearts, so in the OT it was on a table but now in the NT in our hearts to keep, Heb 10:8. PAul also said in Gal 5:13 “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh but by love serve one another.” Jesus will not wear a tattoo, nor be involved in body piercing of any kind;we should not try to prove how much or better we know more than him by doing things he wouldn't partake in himself? We can't serve and please God and the system of the world at the same time. Salvation is by faith alone, but the beginning of something greater that lies ahead. The disciples were already saved but when just begin to reel out to them the cost of discipleship especially how they must forsake many things and carry their cross on daily basis, they shivered. There is a yoke in christ every saved soul must carried and a burden to bear, but with God's grace it will always be easy. |
ahnie:Are you better of spiritually now since you left the church or not? the church isn't the issue but yourself, you refuse to change and let God use you to change others you consider hypocritical and unfit. From your writtens it is evident if you get marry you might do worse than the man, as your ventilating readily portrays you as someone who wouldn't take a shit from no one and that's isn't the way a true christian live. Abraham lied and did some nasty things out of ignorance, God told him to stop and live right, you can't become like christ one day, after salvation you have to press forward in the christian race, to use others as a yardstick instead of christ himself means you don't understand your place or ministry in the kingdom. |
A lot of childish comment out there! Many don't know the kind of trauma some ministers of God go through in the hands of their wives just because they know he can't beat or divorce them. They deliberately press the man hard against the wall, sometimes the experience is beyond description, he nevertheless finds grace to bear it for God and heavens sake, so who is facing domestic violence or abuse here? the Man of God of course. This crop of troublesome women sometimes threaten their husband with public disgrace and readiness to bring down their ministry if he dare encroach on their perimetre or speak against their display of naughtiness, just because it's easy to sway public sympathy on their side. I for one would desire to ask the woman some pertinent questions if I have the opportunity to do so. There are definitely better ways of addressing issue like this if they become persistent, why will she act so childishly by disappearing with the children without leaving a note for the man, It would have prevented him from going to the police and save him from the trauma and emotional suffering of that moment, rather she chooses to punish the man so to say, an action that is neither civil nor christianly. What about his pastor's friend, the man's close relative and other exhaustive medium of settlement before taking such a premature and ill informed decision of going incommunicado in this midst of security challenges we are in presently in this country, If the man go down they both go down together, women must learn to use their senses before traumatizing their partner whatever the challenges may be, whether or not they are christians. If you think ministers of God don't suffer adversely in the hands of their wife even though they are innocent, then I recommend you read more about John wesley marital life. |
Chiedu4Trump:So what brought Pastor Kumuyi into the discuss, seems you have a personal beef with him or you are against what he stands for? Moreover how do you know he's fake? |
rosamaris:You will always have them till the end of the the world, just make sure you are in no way one of them as this man's action is not the only way to be one. |
akinade28:Are you married? |
vibre:So after satisfying herself through fornication and adultery what next? |
we need to be optimistic as a people and keep pushing till we get the right result. Lagos as a cosmopolitan society in this 21st century era, deserves nothing less than world class facilities to drive it's vision of becoming a mega-city with booming economy activities. This project may seems gigantic, nevertheless with right management on board it will definitely redefined transportation in a way more dignifying than the old order we are used to, where people jump on moving vehicles like monkeys in a banana plantation, while their safety most times are hardly guaranteed. |
What a paradoxical statement laced with half truth and self indictment. |
He's probably possessed with the spirit of the Late overseer of COGM, same way some people are with the Late William branham. This idolatorious possession of worshipful love and loyalty to supposed minister's of God(Dead or Alive) instead of Christ, is the bane of many worshippers/followers illness/blindness today who instead of reading their Bible to understand GoD's will for their lives, resort to waiting for their shepherd to tell them everything to do not mindig if he's wrong or right. |
This is the trademark of majority of our Traditional rulers, in addition to this is high handedness and ritualism involving Human sacrifice and other dirty and immoral procurement in the name of monetary acquisition against which the traditional stool should be averse, as it ought to stand as the custodian of value and morality. If therefore greed, occultism, human sacrifices and high profile robbery of subject's property and freedom, defines the modern traditional stool it is a sufficient ground to eradicate that institution altogether, while replacing it with something like an area/community officer whose tenure will be defined and not an occasional recourse necessitated by death of the occupant. |
McDoe:The MFB has already giving her a soft landing through an instalmental payment arrangement, for which she will not be crucified even if she defaults along the line. Suicide should never be consider whether as a first call or a last resort in any situation, however grave and perplexing it may appear for there will always be light at the end of the tunnel. |
Why take her life when she isn't the one that default, I suppose she did so to wave off shame, reprimand by the husband for not informing him on such weighty matters and public opprobrium that may follow, whatever her justification for doing this cannot equate the trauma and damage caused her family and friends by this act! |
Graduateacher:And what stops her from getting married in a properly way to the man before getting pregnant for him, with what has happened whatever respect she has left has been completely eroded and her image and stand in the family badly damaged., just wondering why she can't exercise some patient to see things to a reasonable conclusion before undertaking this unnecessary long jump. If only she knew it was her own cross to carry in this life she probably would have caution herself and exercise some restraint. It is also likely her in-laws are unaware of this pregnancy, which is why her quest to quickly get this relationship sealed before the pregnancy becomes visible is to her a task that must be accomplished on time & at all cost. However with the in-laws refusal to grant her request trouble & shame may just be lurking around the corner for her, and if she aborts the pregnancy this may further complicate her matter. |
Microfels:Human reasoning won't get you and I into God's kingdom eventually, while God does not desire we go in rags, he nevertheless warn us against all forms of extravagance, in everything WE DO. Jesus clearly instruct us to lay our treasures in heaven and not on earth, for where your treasure is there your heart will be also. Genuine christianity as exemplify down through the ages is at variance with worldly principles and practices in all ramifications, lf you are genuinely saved you will understand that the race to heaven demands watching and praying continually especially at this perilous times. Read Luke 13:24 & pet 4:18. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? All worldly adornment and physical exhibition in the old testament disappeared with the coming of Christ, God allowed some things in the old testament because of the hardness of their heart and because the promised messiah is yet to come. with the advent of Christ grace has been given to all mankind to do the will of God, no excuse will be permissible anymore. Do you know that polygamy isn't God's original plan for mankind but he allowed it in the old testament and even people like David practised it; but in the new covenant, Jesus said it is a man to a woman no more no less, so a lot has has changed between the old and new testament. Most of the things we crave after like fancy cars, Opulent houses with exquisite wardrobe, Expensive watches, shoes are all borne out of pride and desire to satisfy our lust and fleshly desire. Note that Wealth and affluence brings spiritual poverty. Any woman who profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and expecting his sudden return will be clothed with shamefacedness,sobriety and humility. A godly woman full of the Holy Spirit will never be seen fixing artificial nail or eyelashes or be adorned with extravagant dresses. Heaven is not for people who know but for those who are ready to do the will of God. You may try to counter my claim but this is the gospel of Jesus christ I have plainly shown to you, some have haul insult at me already while claiming to understand the scriptures. Better things await us in heaven if we overcome, let's not get distracted Devil is at work don't be deceived and lose your reward because of pleasures of life and mundane things that perishes with time. Hear the admonition of Christ. Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. |
jcross19:Didn't christianity emanate from judaism or you are yet to read, Matt 5:17, Rom 9:8, Gen 22:18 . Jesus did not come to abolish the Law but to fulfil it. Talking about salvation, God may reach out to you in a way peculiar to you but the scripture and kingdom principle is the same. God is not the author of confusion, if you want to know God's mind on any matter study his word don't figure anything from your head. |
1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. GEN 35:4-5 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. Serving God requires total obedience to his command, trust faith and obedience is the key to God's kingdom. We are sure to miss the mark if we depend on our own understanding or popular opinion to determine our loyalty to God, God's word should be our final authority in all matters of faith. I believe if it's necessary for women to have holes in their ears God would have done the boring himself. There are some things God wants us to do those are clearly spelt out in his word, like circumcision of the male child etc. God wants us to be holy unto him spirit, soul and body, but the starting point is salvation as whatever we do without this amount to nothing, but salvation itself is the beginning of the journey not the end. |
Damod88:No foreigner can loot your resources without your consent, the big brothers are ripping us off because our representative want it so. You are talking about Europe and America companies, what about Asian companies and their likes, who undertake all the negotiations? definitely not the masses. What we are therefore experiencing is a well calculated game plan that eventually put the masses at the receiving end. The loopholes are allowed to fester because that is one of the easiest way to feather their nest. The Nigerian poverty situation is not real, it is rather stage managed to keep everyone in check and when the situation is about to spiral out of control the noose is loosened to allow some fresh air. How can the masses think positively in this kind of helpless situation when their major concern is how to meet their basic need which is sometimes elusive. Look at our yearly budget that now run in trillions, hasn't it lost its significance or how does it impact on the life of the common man on the street? |
Robnectar:Nigeria situation is pathetic already, anything that will make the ruling class feel the heat and their family members is a welcome development. God has giving us all we need for everybody to be happy and comfortable in this country but accumulation of needless wealth and greed has made us mad. Everybody deserve a fair share of good life, as a citizen of Nigeria you don't need education or connection to have a share of this national cake, no Nigerian citizen should sleep and wake up without having something to eat or where to lay their head, when others are eating and drinking to stupor and even vomiting. |
Robnectar:The list may be reserved and not published, the game plan may be to give them the shock of their life whenever they approach the embassy for visa clearance. |
This is the only way our politicians can be serious about fixing this country when there is no more alternative. Education ban should also be placed on all their ward, so that their father can exert the willpower to address the rot in our education system and other important sector once and for all. If Nigeria Education system is not good enough for their ward it should not be good enough for them to earn a living. A situation where politicians steal our commonwealth, use same to send their children abroad then bring them back after graduation to Lord them over us or take over positions in ministries and other government establishment based on recommendation is unacceptable. |
Criticaltemp:So If you love and cart an item on konga without payment it become yours automatically? |
Ganduje said "They will sit with such Alarammomi and see how we can introduce Western type of education into their curriculum in order to produce children with all types of education to prepare them for good living here on earth and hereafter. Dear Mr. Gov, we don't need Almajiri or western system of education to be happy hereafter, the glory land is for those who are washed in the blood of the LAmb that's the passport to gain admittance and be happy in the afterlife which am not very sure you're aware of. Just do your best to justify the mandate and trust reposed on you by your people now and here below, once they are happily empowered the possibility of making right decision is rife. |
If wishes were horses! Train up a child in the way he should go, that's God's clear command. Is her lifestyle pointing in the direction that'll inspire and cultivate the eagerness in him to call on Jesus later in life? what with this gangster behaviour and dressing to which the little lad is being gradually exposed to already. |
Having Sex with someone with whom you are yet to exchange marital vow is fornication, When God says don't do this don't do it. Young people should not see relationship as a means to satisfying their sexual desire, this is why many are unable to have a healthy, down to earth and mutually beneficial discussion during their courtship period. And the outcome of such superficial mundane choice has turned marriage into a canal rose bird where we hop in and out at will instead of a sacred institution established by God for the good of mankind. Sex is a good thing, but permissible only within the premises of marriage between a man and a woman not women, this is Gods divine order and should therefore be respected by all. |
People hate God because they do not want to bear the consequences of their misdeed, anyone who does right know that God is good. He has told us plainly to repent of all our sins and that he will freely forgive us. If you want to continue in your homosexuality, bisexuality, bestiality, Idolatry, satan worship, fornication, adultery, drunkenness, willful divorce and remarriage, and expect no consequence you are only deceiving yourself. Every organisation gives an accurate account of their businesses transaction periodically, but humans don't want to give account to anyone that is impossible. This reality is exactly what drives many people into atheism, they want to sin and live the way they want to but never want to give account to anyone or wish God never exist, just remember you didn't create yourself. The only way of escape is to surrender to Jesus and receive grace tot go and sin no more. If you persist in your sins it will lead you to eternity in the lake of fire. Hell fire is a hard subject to discuss but thank God we can all escape as it is not meant for us but the devil, but if you continue stealing, inflating contract, receiving bribe, commiting abortion you can't enter the kingdom. However Jesus the Loving saviour is not forcing himself on anyone to repent, he loves us so much but won't force us to serve him. The rapture will soon take place we need to keep a watch as this is part of the signs of his return, those who refuse now will bow to the Antichrist's tyranny without a choice, your brilliance, exposure, artificial intelligence, emotional intelligent, cognitive ability, critical thinking and analytical power and prowess will be inconsequential to the Antichrist. Lets repent and keep clean, the time is short and the day is at hand. This is Jesus final admonition to all men! Revelation 22:11-12 Let the unrighteous go on in unrighteousness; let the filthy go on being made filthy; let the righteous go on in righteousness; and let the holy go on being made holy.`And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work."shalom. |
Bacteriologist:Who told you all this and what religion are you affiliated with? |
JeromeBlack:Early christians were referred to as people of the 'Way', the writers lived according to what they pen down, did they also enslave themselves? Christianity is even more liberal than the mosaic law written by Moses for the jews who are his own very people did he also enslave them? Christianity is neither an european idea or an American concept, Christianity is from Jesus Christ himself who is the mediator of the new covenant and jewish by birth which is a fulfilment of his promise to Abraham and Isaac. He does not enslave anyone, you are only enslave by the kind of life you live and sins unconfessed. As for christianity it leads to God, even though many christian do not live according to all its precept, that is why Jesus said in Matt 7:21 ''Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.'' Jesus does not deceive anyone. |
Sapiosexuality:Government built prisons all over the Nation not because they want anybody to offend or break the law and be incarcerated there, unfortunately some are even sent their for life. Is that not preemptive or a good ground to accuse the government of being complicit? In similar vein are exams invented so people could fail? the answer is simple No, Do we then fold our arms without making any effort to succeed because the intention is not to fail us but to facilitate our progress? We prepare for success assiduously and sometimes burn the night candle to achieve our goal and secure our future, do we give same attention to knowing God and his word? God never intended any human being end up in hell, Jesus specifically said the place was created for the devil and his rebellions Demon/Angels alike, Read Matt 25:41. Don't waste precious time meditating on consequences of actions that is not imposed on you, It is wisdom to leave what is not within your capacity to control while focusing only on things within your control. Now what are the things within your control? 1. You can repent and confess your sins to God right now, and you'll receive eternal abundant life from God and Joy and grace in your heart. 2. You can Read the Bible to know what is God's will for you in every situation. 3. You can Resist every temptation to do evil and act right! You are sure to end well by his grace, Hellfire like human prison is not meant for you, once you are a good citizen no prison sentence for you whether on temporal or permanent basis. sometimes in this world there could be a mix up or miscarriage of justice due to human error that get innocent people into problem and turn them prisoners, not so with omniscient God, you cant serve him according to his word and go to hell by mistake. |
jidenna21:Read the scriptures with open mind to understand. That was an illustration of God's coming judgement on all unrepentant sinners who spurn God's offer of grace and continue in wilful disobedience against his command till opportunity to repent is lost. |
