Any update about the company?

Hope this is not beyond the moral narrative cos these politicians can be funny and deceitful in collecting sacrificial items.
Jeremiah 17:9 is an eye-opener to anyone who cares to engage Sapiens of the genus Homo.

Is Fasting Without Prayer A Meaningless Exercise?

Some would be quick to respond in the affirmative, because they believe fasting must go with prayer, otherwise it would be a mere hunger strike.

But let's see what the Bible has to say about fasting to know if they have a case or not.

Deuteronomy 8:3 (KJV)

And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.

Now the above is a well known passage in the Bible that speaks about fasting, and it was actually from this passage that Jesus quote to the devil concerning fasting emanated from, when He was being tempted by the devil to eat, during His forty days and forty nights fast in the wilderness when He was said to be tempted of the devil. Matthew 4:4

From the passage, it could be observed that fasting itself has a purpose, and that purpose is that man shall not live by bread alone but by the Word of God. That is because bread is the food of the flesh but God's Word is the food of the spirit, and it's the Spirit that quickens and give eternal life, the flesh profits nothing but death. So the purpose of fasting is make us live by the Word of God which gives life.

But how does man live by God's Word? It is by keeping it, therefore that is the primary purpose of fasting and what it's meant to achieve in our lives.

Hence since fasting cannot be said to be a meaningless exercise even if it is without prayer, because it has a purpose if its own, and more so if that purpose is achieved by fasting alone.

For instance, if someone fasts so as not to sin or to overcome temptation just as Jesus did, and he achieves that purpose even without praying, it cannot be said to be a meaningless exercise or just hunger strike because the purpose of fasting which is the obedience of God's Word had been achieved.

It's all about the purpose, so even if someone doesn't just fasts but also prays, but the purpose of fasting which is that someone doesn't fall into temptation but obeys God's Word, which also happens to be the same purpose as that of prayer, was not achieved, the effort could be said to be meaningless and a failed exercise, because the purpose of fasting and prayer was not achieved in the person's life.

Matthew 26:41 (KJV)

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

It is often said that when purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable, this is the reason why despite the fact that many fast and pray, the purpose of fasting and prayer is usually defeated and made of no effect in their lives, because they know not the purpose of fasting and prayer.

Take Nigeria as a case study. Many Nigerians pray and fast, yet there is so much iniquity in the land, because many of those who pray and fast don't keep God's Word which ought to be the purpose of fasting and praying, so regardless, their prayer and fasting is meaningless and has no real effect in their lives.

Hence it is very important for those who pray and fast to know the purpose of prayer and fasting, which is the obedience of God's Word, so that the purpose of prayer and fasting is not defeated but fully achieved in their lives.

God bless.

Fasting without prayer is like cultivating and making ridges without planting any seed.

Kudos to Mrs Dongo D. O. D my Mathematics teacher @FGC Ibillo, Edo State.
My respect for her is basically on how she'd mark all our notes and assignment notes everytime she gives out an assignment.
One other thing is her prowess and dedication to teaching (organising extra maths class FOC) just to make sure we are up and doing and her responsible motivation and grooming of students for COWBELL.

Some appreciate her for her beautiful voice and anatomy too.

*Do we need youths to have a better country?*

Sadly, some of our current leaders started leading as youths.
Check their respective ages and subtract the last 20 years of democracy from it and let's see what we have.
Let's take *Rotimi Amaechi* for instance.
He is 55 now.
He's 6 years into Minister. That means he became Minister at 49.
He was Governor for 8 years. That means he became Governor at 41. Prior to that, he was Speaker for 8 years, that means he was Speaker at 33. Freaking 33!
How youth can youth be!
Do the maths for all of them and you will see that youths have brought us nothing.
*Fashola is 57.*
He was in Tinubu's Cabinet.
Tinubu became Governor 21 years ago. Remove 21 from 57, that's 36.
How youth can youth be?
*Wike is 53.* He has been in power in various capacity like the others for the last 15 years before becoming a governor in 2015. That's 33-35.
How youth can youth be?
*Dimeji Bankole* was a freaking 37 years old when he became Speaker of the House of Representative in the National Assembly.
*Ahmed Lawan is 61.*
He has been in the National Assembly since 1999. That was 21 years ago at the age of 40.
See what we have.
What did we gain?
We don't only need the youths.
*We also need a change of mindset and attitude in all Nigerians.*
*A TOTAL TRANSFORMATION FROM OUR OLD WAYS AND POLITICS A TOTAL REBIRTH IN BOTH THE YOUNG AND OLD*
Else, it will be the same story.
Youths have always been in power!
They became old in power!!
Yet we are still where we were before our present democracy!!!
Let's ask for the right things and also do the right things.
I come in peace.

The best way of reintegrating them back into the society for me is to retrain them (against the bokoharamic/bokocentric mentality) for combat and send them back to face their former allies.
Shikena!!!
Any other process is a slap on the faces of our gallant troops.

MARKING SCHEME FOR PRESIDENT BUHARI AS HE ADDRESSES THE NATION TONIGHT

By Elvis Ogah

The last 2 Presidental broadcasts, in my considered opinion, have been utterly poor, dull & drab. The last especially, bears no semblance to anything presidential other than the fact that there are 2 flags and a coat of arm behind the President.

As the nation's almost 200m people await a 3rd broadcast amidst the rampaging novel covid-19 pandemic, what're those ingredients, highlights, & elements we must be on the look out for? There must be a radical departure from the regular "this virus is not a joke" or the normal 2 weeks extension.

This time, it has to be richly worded, policy ridden, hope laced, intensely stimulating and thoroughly inspiring. The apotheosis of the broadcast must be vivid & its apogee evocative. Such that at the end of it, we'll all be on our feets in thunderous applause for Mr. President.

So what're the sine qua non issues that MUST be addressed today?

1. Social Safety Net
Events of the last few weeks have exposed the rot in our much mouthed Social Investment Programme(SIP). Nigeria has an extimated 90million people living in extreme poverty. The National Social Register contains only 11 million people. What happens to the remaining 79m extremely poor people? This must be addressed tonight.

2. Informal Sector
About 80% of Nigeria workers are employed under the informal sector. From street hawkers, taxi drivers, artisans to food vendors and hairdressers. What is the fate of these category of persons? They should sit at home & wait patiently for hunger to kill them & their families? What're we doing for them? This must be addressed tonight.

3. Corporate Entities
Private sector firms are laying off staff daily. From Banks to Airlines, to Insurance firms to Consultancy companies. What about entrepreneurs (SMEs)? What safeguards are we putting in place to halt the ongoing sack and no salary payment trend? This must be addressed tonight.

4. Health workers
Our health system is a mess. Agreed. But its sad how we've treated our health workers who're at the frontline battling this devastating virus. Health Minister shamelessly said he doesn't know if they're being given special hazard allowance. What're we doing to encourage and boost their morale? This must be addressed tonight.

5. Civil Servants
I understand the 3 tiers of govt shared N780.92b last week. Salary must be priorotised above capital projects at this time. Has govt workers at FG, State, & LGA levels been paid April salaries? This must be addressed tonight.

6. Education Sector
Schools have been shut down for over a month. Are there plans to commence learning anytime soon? If yes, how? If no, why? Also, its been over 1 month since a presidential order was given for the commencement of school feeding program. Are these pupils being fed now? This must be addressed tonight.

7. Local & Foreign Donor Funds
‪EU donated €50m to Nigeria; US donated $21.4m‬
Rich Nigerians donated over N25b.‬ Please what's the status of all these monies? ‬How're we spending them? This must be addressed tonight.

We know that the ability to be analytic, constructive and methodical whilst showing in-depth knowledge, insight and intellectual maturity isn't President Buhari's natural forte. He has no elevated strength in that department. We may want to pardon his lapses.

What's unpardonable however, is the fact that he pays people (SAs, SSAs, TAs, PAs etc.) from our collective patrimony to do this thinking & exploration of ideas for him. Yet, what we get every 2 weeks are depressingly bleak, vacuously anaemic, and sterile rhetorics.

No more mediocre broadcast please. We await in bated breath for 8pm.

God bless Mr. President
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria
God Bless & keep us all safe.

This thread is to enable Christians who wish to invest their money legitimately and earn without any fear of being scammed by rude boys. It is also to eradicate the nonsensical and dogmatic business ideas characteristic of "Igbobians" [Igbo smokers] who use every avenue at their disposal to truncate the peace of wisdom seekers.
First: Anyone interested in this Godly thread is advised to read 1 or 2 books on investment. A book I'll gladly recommend for you is "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. I believe the book will renew your mindset from the relegated ideas of fraudsters posing as consultants.
Second: You must not engage in transactional commitments on this thread for your own good. This will help you avert intruders and myopic opinion seekers whose major interest is to swindle people with genuine interests.
Third: Godliness with contentment must be your great gain. This will help your commitment to achieving more from your investment as this thread will help your common sense to be common.
Lastly: Please, any information that can help others should not be hoarded as this is sometimes not a Godly virtue. Visitors must be willing to share ideas that'll benefit others. Note: Wisdom is useless in the grave.
Just 30 Godly signatures are needed from members to commence this thread.
