42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper[i]), and to prayer.
43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity[j]—47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

Acts 2:42-47

I still wait for the day You all will go get the BILLIONS that IBB, OBASANJO, and his goons have S_T_O_L_E_N from you for years and years. Na so so to tell another man how to spend his or her money una dey. Why not pursue the thieves that stole from you all with the same zeal?? So the pastor and his congregation are now criminals for wanting to building for themselves a big church. But IBB and Obasanjo and the other thieves that are every day showing up in front of you all for years are not on top of your lists?? NA WA OO, !!!

This is about the Church which I am a part of not IBB or others. Stick to the topic

It is not Adebayor's money, if he claims he is part of the church then it belongs to the church and should be appropriated on bible based principle.

It is clear and obvious that God is not interested in buildings and the church/temple/body of God is infact believers in Christ. So why not use this money to aid lives instead of spending such huge amount on a building?

Kobojunkie:
YES, The  GOD Of The Bible CAN,  if the God of the Bible can tell Noah to BUILD him a GIGANTIC BOAT ,  If the God of the Bible can tell solomon to build him a massive temple in using his people an collecting from the people for years and years to build it,  If the God of the Bible can instead of telling Jesus to go get a job have him get money from the mouth of a fish to pay his taxes,  I would think you would know the obvious answer to your question is YES,  Nothing is impossible with the God of the Bible it seems. Why are there suddenly restrictions Cause you are uncomfortable with what He may be doing in the life of another person?? Na Jealousy be this??

I did not ask if God can do it? Do you just misquote everything in your life?

Must he tell you this before you see the obvious reason? Abeg twisting and turning will get us no where. Just answer these -

Where is Solomon's temple?

What is the temple of God?

What did the Apostles do with money they had from the church?

Did Adebayor get the money from a fish? Did he use it to pay tax?

Kobojunkie:
I was straight wityh what I posted there . Read your Bible and take it all as is. No where does God say I WILL NEVER TELL ANYONE TO BUILD A Naira 7 billion Auditorium. If you Feel you are God's personal judge, I dare you to stop the man from building then. LMAO!!!!

That is your argument? Na wa o.
So God will explicitly say Adebayor do not build for yourself a building of 7.7 billion naira before you would come to sense?
Come on you are more matured than this now

Kobojunkie:
Here is the thing. I do not need to post verses in here for me to show you that your own God whom you claim to worship also encouraged his people to spend what he had given then as he wished them. Open that book and read, yes, read all the lines and make sure to eat up the ones that cause you to cringe cause the truth might be bitter to your soul. LMAO!!!

You can not be more spiritual or holier than your God, or can you ?? LMAO!!!

I bet there are many Nigerians who will rebuke God if they could for giving people money to spend on good things , . Yet they will roll off like spineless rats while the actual thieves in the country continue to eat up all the money that God has given to them , LMAO!!!

Thank you for jumping around in circles while exposing that you have nothing to say. Next time just keep it simple.

Try this - I HAVE NOTHING!!!

@Somze
King David was worshiping God and he danced 'too' much for a King. One of his wives complained and she became barren for life.
The Bible is the inspired word of God i.e. there is a reason why the building of the temple was fully elaborated upon. In Paul's era, churches were established in Corinth, Ephesus etc. Therefore, structures must have been constructed.

Your 'argument' holds no water.

lol
Can you see through you own misinterpretations?

1. Kind David danced in worship to God. This has nothing to do with the topic
2. Building of which temple? Solomon's temple? Remember when the disciples wanted to show off this temple to Jesus himself? What did he say? None of those stones would remain on top one another? Where is the temple today? It is completely destroyed. Why? We are the temple today
3. No structures were constructed, people met in houses. When the word church was used it referred to people not structures.

Please re-read your bible and quit misquoting and misinterpreting  

Kobojunkie:
hhhmmm, we already have the PICK AND CHOOSE theologians here to feed us with selective verses of the bible to support their own opinion but completely skip the other parts that speak of living lavishly .

PICK AND CHOOSE theologians, I call em , PICKA-CHU Christians


If I choose to spend $300 a day, na ya money I dey chop

Why dont you quote know? Since you are not a picka-chu christian
Show us where Paul spent on a building or Peter or Jesus.
Quit running around in circles.

Is the money Adebayor's? If yes then it is his business firm and not a church, I dont care what he uses it for. If NO then I can point out it was misappropriated.

@Seun, Mamajama

'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge'. I think its wiser not to comment negatively on religious issues.
Case study: One of David's wives became barren for complaining about King David's overzealous worshiping of God. Solomon spent much more building the temple of the Lord, and the good Book states clearly that the people gave willingly. Pastors don't force the congregation to make donations towards the completion of building projects or to pay tithes and offerings. Rather, they preach about the benefits of giving to God (via your church) and towards God's work (building projects).

What exactly was David doing when his wife complained? Aint you misquoting here?

Solomon spent at what time? Was it at the time when you became the temple, the church, the body?

That is another baseless claim. The fact you have to go all the way to Solomon to support a building tells a lot dont it?

How come we spent that much at 07/08 without any buys?

Can you explain your stats?

Meanwhile your quote does not have that stats your quoted up there. Please put up the link.

We are missing Drogba, I should expect new faces by January.

Sad Sad development.

Wasted money. The true houses of God (Christians) are swindled out of their money to construct a building for a few selfish interests. I wonder where this verse goes to when it comes to these donations and tithe -

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

1st Cor 6:19

Suddenly when one man wants to expand his empire he says he's building a church for God ignoring the fact that people not buildings are the God's church and Christ not this man is the head of this Church while we are the body.

where av u been?

Lampard would be a threat with his superb passes and vision on sunday.

Lampard would score.

Half-Time Comments - Chelsea vs Valencia
BenHaim misjudges the ball to often. Between Ben and Alex, it's difficult to chose who to start. They're error prone. We really miss a fast, precise and confident center back like Carvalho. This is a definite weak link that we need to fix soon.

Our first touch kills our game when we should take advantage of opponents errors or some nifty passes.

Shevshenko is no where near Drogba when it comes to scoring goals at the moment. Nice crosses flies in and no one is at the end of it.

We need to be careful when attacking with both central defenders and losing the ball around the opponents area. Puts us in danger of a counter and better teams may make us pay.

Basically what we need is less touches around the opponents 18 and more shots. Pizarro should stay by Shevy as proper 4-4-2 while Lampard should withdraw a little to give space for center balls. Attacks from the side to the center looks more likely to cause goal at the moment.

Shevshenko is just a waste, look at that miss, the guy is old jare.
My pregnant wife would react faster to that ball

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Islam is a deadly fraud.

I think it is a step in the right direction. However NUC should be more flexible with certain courses or faculties like Business where MBA can be used and Information Technology where its more a matter of projects handled and years of experience.

Lecturers too have to regularly go for government sponsored courses to enhance their delivery.

Our Universities have to be better equiped, most courses have archiac outlines that need re-organisation and change. We need our delivery moved from theory based to a largely implementable practical enviroment.

Merely requesting for the current corrupt system to possess another questionable paper certificate is not nearly enough.

Fola
Oh sorry, you won the Emirates cup and the Amsterdam tournament . . . my bad

davidylan:
England 2 Croatia 3 The END of England's Euro 2008 dream justifies the means.

Lampard scored a great goal in that game

davidylan:
Your mates dey fly go meet babe you dey waka . . . nairaland kai!

You wey dey meet man nko

davidylan:
We take excellent football and magnificent technique.
We reject lampost.

In 3 years, No trophies, broken dreams, lost hopes . . . so much for magnificient football.
We take Lampard

I doubt if this will solve the problem of our dilapidated education system.

Much more is needed than just another paper certificate.

davidylan:
Where was Lampost when Luka Modric was teaching him how to keep a football?

Ends justifies the means oga  

davidylan:
You no get shame. At least i dey fly wetin you dey do?

Lampost will get shown up at the emirates.

I dey waka sharrap dia

We take penalties and deflections!
We take Lampard!!!

debosky:
wanted is the word. . .a few shambolic performances against non-English opposition and that interest cooled instantly

Besides, there wasn't much truth in that story, his spanish wife just wanted to get away from the crummy folk in West London

Lamps will get his lights turned off at the Emirates

Gunner 1915

Bros D are you still going to Vancouver for Xmas?

David your mates are flying to meet babes, you na Debo you wan go see

Lumplard is shiite

Dont annoy me you o, Lampard is the greatest!!!  

mrpataki:
Wonders will never end. Lampstand is the greatest player in the world?

Get out of fantasies and face realities man.

Reality is that no one on your current team has received more accolades than Lampard. No one has scored as much goals as he in a season. No one gets as much money as he does. Frank would make any team list in the world, even Barca wanted him.  

Just monitoring the thread's development.

davidylan:
One of the best midfielders in the world? Lumplard? Even the English don't believe you!

The English also believed they could qualify for Euro 2008
Trust me . . . I know what i'm saying

TOH:
sharrap over there, pataki.

Don't mind him, I'd soon get one of those Islamists over here to proclaim Jihad over them (David too inclusive)

davidylan:
Manchester United also lost to Bolton and Liverpool caved in to the "mighty" Reading. But to fail to put more than 2 goals past Stephen Bywater with plenty of luck from a glaring error by the referee is unforgivable.

When did a penalty become a "world class goal"? Since Lumplard scores them aplenty aye Cheesy fans don't mind.

Still hoping to stick that 30m pound misfit upfront against the mighty rocks of Gilbraltar?

That was a clear penalty and a sublime finish by one of the best and most consistent midfielders in the world
If you can watch football for a moment and forget the Arse. . . of the guys that play you'd see that Lampard is indeed the Greatest!!!

Forget shevy we have . . . we have . . . er . . . er . . . Lampard!!!

University lecturers who don't get their doctorate degrees by 2009 may be demoted

The National Universities Commission (NUC) has warned that university lecturers who do not get their doctorate degrees before the 2009 deadline may lose their positions as lecturers and cease to exercise full rights over students’ course work.

The directive that lecturers must acquire doctorate degrees have been in the statute books since 1989.

Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, said there would be no further compromise on the issue of minimum academic qualification for teaching in the nation’s universities. Since this is fundamental to the quality of teaching and research and a major determinant of the quality of graduates produced by the universities.

He stated that the non-possession of a doctorate degree will not be the end of the teaching career of the lecturers but the National Universities Commission may resort to the American model where such lecturers are graded as tutors and their authority over academic programmes restricted to an auxiliary level.

davidylan:
Somze no be your fault . . . is that the "sexy" football Avram Grant promised you?   It took a penalty to put the game beyond Derby County. Every other top 4 team put at least 4 goals past Bywater!

But one of those teams failed to beat boro, wonder why  
We won Derby by two great world class goals and you guys lost after 2 great world class goals  
You can talk about AG no problem but not Lampard. He's the best!!!  

debosky:
Somze is getting touchy again

is Cashley going to play this time around? the chicken poop boy has been so scared to play against Arsenal since he shifted ground. I hope someone throws some fresh excrement at his face. . .right after he gets off the team bus, but not in the stadium yet so we don't get banned

Cash . . . sorry Ashley would be alive and in person . . . The better to whoop your delusional squad  
My regards to your captain William Gayass  

davidylan:
A Manchester United follower? Lai lai! I only supported them during the treble winning season WHEN Arsenal was not involved.
Chelsea? I can't support a team that parades such "world class" talent as Frank Lumplard.
Once a gunner, forever a gunner! Case closed!

Its called amala politics.

Oh shut up man!

JM rules out being England's manager

Where is Carvalho, Ballack, Malouda?
