Who's she

I've Never seen or heard of her

Well it's there really a prayer for the dead?

SeeWahala:
Buy . . . It is actually a crap song naw or abi my ear dey hear wetin no dey play? 🤔

Exactly what I thought

It's Nigerians that are used to appreciating crap songs already

truthera:
Sahara Reporters broke the news today that Tinubu has formally fined tuned his plans for the 2027 presidential election by picking Prof. Joash Ojo Amupitan, a Kogi "Yoruba" professor as the next INEC chairman to succeed inglorious Yakubu Mahmoud. The fact that Tinubu is allowed by law to appoint the next INEC chairman without any push back from Nigerians shows that Nigerians are okay and happy with monumental rigging of elections by politicians. There is no doubt that the sinister plans on how this evil APC government will return to power have been activated and set in motion by Tinubu, Wike, Akpabio. Ganduje and other APC heavyweights.

Just as one Nairaland user called Onuman said and i quote "A person contesting election to appoint election umpire is like a football team in a national league appointing a referee for the competition.
Are there no more reasonable people in Nigeria to stop the MADNESS in having the president to appoint INEC Chairman?". No one should be deceived that what happened in 2023 presidential election will magically not reoccure in 2027 presidential election as Tinubu's path to victory will only be made easier now that he is the president and owns the INEC by virtue of appointing it's chairman. If Nigerians were serious about good governance, about their future and that of the nation, they should've stormed national assembly, protested endlessly, forcing the compromised 10th Assembly to enact new laws that will stop the president from appointing INEC chairman. The nonchalant attitude and petty tribal sentiments of Nigerians over serious political issues will cause them another 4 years if nothing is done to push for electoral laws reforms that will guarantee a free and fair election in 2027.

If you don't mind, you can lead the protest

In this country, protests are getting useless
As it would always be boycotted and would lead to violence which nobody wants

There's a better way

Well said

Politics being played with security

I really pray that none of these people's family members are harmed

He asked a dumb question, not a simple one. That question came from a place of envy, not curiosity. Are you also asking who he is?

How would the way you replied fix the envy?

MaxInDHouse:
My question is:
Who brought the food?
A member of your religion or stranger?

Jesus said:
"By their fruits you will know them" Matthew 7:16-18

If members of your own church as in those you taught and brought up as fellow believers want to poison you then something is wrong somewhere!🤔

The fruit is not
Never the Church members

Never ever
The Church members or Christians anywhere are branches
Fruits mean actions
How People act and react to things.

Read it in your bible

Zionmdde:
Who are you?
Does anyone even know you in your neighborhood?

The fact you can come on NL and write comments is making you feel like anybody knows you

I've been using my Samsung A21s for 4 years now and I have never experienced this. I always use screen guard and leather back cover

You don't use the phone heavily


Use it for 3 to 5days in a row without switching off the phone for a while

You would see those lines clearly.


It's Overheating that tends to cause those lines on the screen

Oh!

And Samsung Galaxy A21 is not AMOLED, it's IPS LCD

NobleSeed:
the line usually displayed on the Samsung screen most times are from the S_series and the fold series, but not commonly on the note series.
Samsung originally from the UK and the US hardly have these lines cause the screen are most times of high quality.
The ones which mostly have these issues are the ones from China which some dealers sell as UK and brand new.

They are all produced in China

Just like the Iphone

tgmservice:
Thats why I dey fear to splash 3m to buy my dream phone x fold

Please don't
The replacement parts are scarce

You would mostly hate the aftermath


If it's your dream phone, start resleeping

You would get a better dream later

inoki247:
Lol na second hand or refurbished Samsung una dey buy or what..


All my life wey I use Samsung before switching to Google Pixel have never experience such...

You were probably not using it heavily


Like for 3 to 4 to 5days in a row without switching off the device for a while

Jesus

You need to experience him before you truly understand

AntiChristian:
You sabi write out of point. Where you asked all these? That's the same way some will collect extra sheets in exam hall and still end up scoring D. Na error be that!

Hebrews 9:27 (NWT): "And just as it is reserved for men to die once for all time, but after this a judgment,"

Ecclesiastes 9:2 (NWT): "Everything is the same for all; there is one fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not sacrifice. As is the good person, so is the sinner; the one who takes an oath is as the one who fears an oath."

James 4:14 (NWT): "Whereas you do not know what your life will be tomorrow. For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes."

Answer the question directly and stop beating about the bush!

I answered your questions already

AntiChristian:
So you are telling me the Bible lied that everyone will die? I have given you the verses that clearly says every human will die. So saying some humans did not die makes the Bible a lie.

Clarify this first! Verses are Hebrew 9:27, Ecclesiastes 9:2 and James 4:14.

Secondly, who came to create religion? Where in the Bible did anyone create any religion? Did Abraham, Moses, Jesus, John the Baptist or any other mentioned any religion as theirs?

And how did God have birth to sons? What does God need sons for?
In Genesis 6:1-4, some sons of God were mentioned coming to impregnate daughters of men! Are these Jesus's brothers from the same God?

Okay
I now understand your little issue
Your understanding of the word sons is not the same way the Bible describes Sons/Children

Can the size an Ocean be determined by the size of a pin in the Ocean?
Can A creator of Life need life?


You asked who created Religion?
Depending on what you define religion as

Well
The Rich and the Poor,The Old and Young,The Mighty and Weak,they all move by what they see.Some money.Some Aging.Some Strength.
What a Man sees,He moves by.So then,The Creator of Man would move by what?
Then what would move the Creator of Man?

A Ruler sends his head of staff to go and share food to his Subjects.
Some collected it with Plates,some with their bare hands.Some took it and sold it to other subjects.Some rejected it and died of hunger.Some exhausted it and need more.Some stole the ones given to others.Some took theirs, poisoned it and ate it together with others.
There still remains only one Ruler!

Then
You have been quoting specific Bible verses and Claiming that saying some people did not die makes the Bible a Lie
That's interesting 😂

It's just like a King who is served Food and told it is poisoned by the Chef himself.
Another King would simply Leave the food since he can.
But this particular King eats the food and dies because of Hunger.
Their Kingdoms are still existing and People are still in those Kingdoms living to tell the stories of their Kings.

I hope you would now understand.
If not now, soonest

AntiChristian:
If you say Enoch and Elijah didn't die then Hebrew 9:27, Ecclesiastes 9:2 and James 4:14 all say humans will die at least once. So all will die even if the Bible failed to record their deaths!

Only humans die not Gods! Gods don't turn human! God don't lie!

gods? SMH
Yeah there are many Man created gods
Created by only one God

There is only one God
The Father of Everyone as he is the Father of Jesus
Thats the only one God

The Bible did not "fail" to record their deaths
They didn't die.

Every other persons that came to create religions claiming they are Prophets or Messengers are all dead and are awaiting the final Judgement for their deceits!

Only one died and Resurrected back in his Physical body and ascended to Heaven after revealing himself to people and even eating among people

He did all of this to (amomg other things) forever prove that he alone knows the one only true God and He alone is the way and He and everyone who believes him are all sons of God!

AntiChristian:
May Allah give our kids good mum!

May Allah bless our mums and forgive them!

It's good to have a good mum!

A blind man can never lead people
They would all fall into a hole.
A blind man can never know the way
He would only get lost again and again.
Even among those who have two eyes, only few find the way!
How much more a Blind man!

thepathoflogos:
You’re absolutely right about Isaiah 58 – it’s a powerful reminder that fasting is not just about skipping food but about aligning our hearts with God’s will and showing love to others.

But it’s also true that Jesus Himself said, “When you fast…” (Matthew 6:16), not “If you fast” — meaning there’s still value in setting aside food to seek God, as long as it’s done with the right heart.

Bible study is key, yes — but prayer and fasting are like firewood and flame (Mark 9:29). One fuels the other. The goal isn’t hunger; it’s intimacy with God and transformation of our hearts.

Thanks for sharing — discussions like this help us all grow.

Well,


1. On December 7 of the fourth year of King Darius's reign, another message came to Zechariah from the LORD. 2. The people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regemmelech, along with their attendants, to seek the LORD's favor. 3. They were to ask this question of the prophets and the priests at the Temple of the LORD of Heaven's Armies: "Should we continue to mourn and fast each summer on the anniversary of the Temple's destruction, as we have done for so many years?" 4. The LORD of Heaven's Armies sent me this message in reply: 5. "Say to all your people and your priests, 'During these seventy years of exile, when you fasted and mourned in the summer and in early autumn, was it really for me that you were fasting? 6. And even now in your holy festivals, aren't you eating and drinking just to please yourselves ? 7. Isn't this the same message the LORD proclaimed through the prophets in years past when Jerusalem and the towns of Judah were bustling with people, and the Negev and the foothills of Judah were well populated?' " 8. Then this message came to Zechariah from the LORD: 9. "This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says: Judge fairly, and show mercy and kindness to one another. 10. Do not oppress widows, orphans, foreigners, and the poor. And do not scheme against each other. (Zech 7: 1-10)

[Source: New Living Translation]

Is fasting really related to Hunger according to God?
It may have actually been a misconception from the time of Isaiah to Zechariah till now!

Thing is

You talked about intimacy with God.
That's showing love to God
Well
Jesus said
"If you love me, obey my commandments. (John 14: 15)

[Source: New Living Translation]
If anyone asks me how to have an Intimacy with God,it is really by Obeying Jesus commandments!
I don't believe there is really anything else in form of Fasting and long hours of prayer or something.

In fact,I am a believer of short prayers that truly changes the hearts of unbelievers and makes them see the great things of God.I don't believe we have to pray long hours of prayer again and again for God to hear us.
Every other thing involving God is embedded in Jesus' commandments
Even to receive the Holy Spirit:

15. "If you love me, obey my commandments. 16. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. 17. He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn't looking for him and doesn't recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. (John 14: 15-17)

[Source: New Living Translation]


I really believe there is really no price to get anything from God after obeying Jesus commandments.


Obeying Jesus commandments is not even a price.
We are to do it because we love God.
And it is what makes us true Children of God!

27. "But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. 28. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. 29. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. 30. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don't try to get them back. 31. Do to others as you would like them to do to you. 32. "If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! 33. And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! 34. And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return. 35. "Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. (Luke 6: 27-35)

JESUS COMMANDMENTS IS EVERYTHING AND NOTHING ELSE.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Otilor

AntiChristian:
I think that last line is the most correct.

Biblically the one who has power of death is only the father who lives eternally. Jesus tasted death according to the Bible!
Na humans dey come to die!

Funny
Have you heard about Enoch and Elijah?
They didn't experience Death

Jesus, majorly came to die and then resurrect to finally debunk the power of death among humans!

So, believing in him means having power over death!
The Father is in Jesus and Jesus is in the Father!

thepathoflogos:
Grace to start well and finish strong is my prayer for everyone reading this today.

Leviticus 6:13 – “The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously.”

Today's Prayer:
Lord, set my altar on fire. Burn distractions, stir my hunger. Let Your promises manifest now.

Discussion:
Have you ever started something spiritual (like fasting, prayer, or Bible study) and struggled to finish strong?
What helped you stay consistent?

Type AMEN if this prayer speaks to you.

You mentioned Fasting
See what God himself said about Fasting in Isaiah 58
1. "Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast. Shout aloud! Don't be timid. Tell my people Israel of their sins! 2. Yet they act so pious! They come to the Temple every day and seem delighted to learn all about me. They act like a righteous nation that would never abandon the laws of its God. They ask me to take action on their behalf, pretending they want to be near me. 3. 'We have fasted before you!' they say. 'Why aren't you impressed? We have been very hard on ourselves, and you don't even notice it!' "I will tell you why!" I respond. "It's because you are fasting to please yourselves. Even while you fast, you keep oppressing your workers. 4. What good is fasting when you keep on fighting and quarreling? This kind of fasting will never get you anywhere with me. 5. You humble yourselves by going through the motions of penance, bowing your heads like reeds bending in the wind. You dress in burlap and cover yourselves with ashes. Is this what you call fasting? Do you really think this will please the LORD? 6. "No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people. 7. Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help. 8. "Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the LORD will protect you from behind. 9. Then when you call, the LORD will answer. 'Yes, I am here,' he will quickly reply. "Remove the heavy yoke of oppression. Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors! 10. Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon. (Isa 58: 1-10)


Don't think Fasting means going hungry for hours or days to Please God like most people do!
The Fasting that God wants has been described by him here!
The Fasting Jesus talked about in the New Testament can not be the hunger type.It is this one here he was referring to!
Jesus cannot be saying something differently from what our Father has said!

Above everything
Bible study: especially the teachings of Christ , to me, it is the main thing
With it, even Prayer would be less and Great things would happen immediately without stress!

I just felt like pointing out all of these to you

.

Firstly
Firstly

There is no altar anywhere again since Jesus has being fulfilled


The only altar you can have now is by remaining in Jesus

But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted! (John 15: 7)

These are his words:
27. "But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. 28. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. 29. If someone slaps you on one cheek, offer the other cheek also. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. 30. Give to anyone who asks; and when things are taken away from you, don't try to get them back. 31. Do to others as you would like them to do to you. 32. "If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them! 33. And if you do good only to those who do good to you, why should you get credit? Even sinners do that much! 34. And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, why should you get credit? Even sinners will lend to other sinners for a full return. 35. "Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to those who are unthankful and wicked. 36. You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate. 37. "Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. 38. Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full-- pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. " 39. Then Jesus gave the following illustration: "Can one blind person lead another? Won't they both fall into a ditch? 40. Students are not greater than their teacher. But the student who is fully trained will become like the teacher. 41. "And why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own? 42. How can you think of saying, 'Friend, let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,' when you can't see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend's eye. 43. "A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit. 44. A tree is identified by its fruit. Figs never grow on thornbushes, nor grapes on bramble bushes. 45. A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart. 46. "So why do you keep calling me 'Lord, Lord!' when you don't do what I say? 47. I will show you what it's like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. 48. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it is well built. (Luke 6: 27-48)

When you are doing all these, that is it!
There is no Altar anywhere again

AntiChristian:
But his son Pastor Dare later died at 42 years in 2021.

So whether he leaves RCCG or not if his son will die he will die! Even Jesus can't stop his own death in the Bible.

The last line is totally not correct


Jesus actually came to die and then Wake up back to prove total power over death!
