On the altar of politics? How? As the Army Secretary, the officer was duty bound at the time to respond to inquiries and pressure from Nigerians about the Army's official position on the issue. Have you forgotten the furore it generated then ? There was no way the army, via the Secretary, was going to forever evade responding. He thereby held a press conference and told the truth. Were you expecting him to show us the same atrocious document that the Principal of Government college, Katsina doctored ?

IMO, it would seem the Presidents certificate and that of many officers isn't truly with the army. It has been a long time and the army wasn't really finicky about certificates of officers back in the day when boys, mostly from the North, were recommended and selected from school straight into the army without having completed secondary school.

It would be unfair if the army Secretary's retirement was punitive because he didn't seem like someone near retirement.

Even when a duly constituted board found him guilty of drawing the army into partisan politics over the issue?

Afam4eva:
Do you have the certificate or know where it is because you're speaking like you know something.

Actually I do, the whole certificate missing charade was nothing short of political gimmick.

What a pity, Metuh has developed psychological problems

It is silly for a career officer to ruin his long years of service on the altar of politics.

Conclusion

Let me conclude by focusing on the Ifeoma story narrated by analice107, I will just itemize points from it to further show the operations of a group of demons known as necromancy and will be drawing some lessons.

1. The first Ifeoma came from a deeply occultic background and one or both of her ancestors were involved in invoking the demons of the dead. This practice of conversing with the dead is not only limited to occultists, in some cultures (not limited to Africa), going to the burial ground to talk, pour affection or liberation at the grave of a departed one is quite popular, some Christians do this also. While it isnt wrong for us to mourn our departed ones, we also need to be careful not to allow the devil to gain access into our lives because of our grief. We should also avoid encouraging dreams of departed ones talking to us and when such become too often, we should break every soul ties and bind the spirit of necromancy.

Lev. 31vs 19
“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God

2. The first Ifeoma had a peculiar or familiar spirits working in her (she was possessed), this may also relate to the first point I gave. I read someone on these thread talking of remembering things and events which occurred before her birth, that is a clear case of household demons who where present at events in that household, some may have been there for centuries down the linage They are whispering things that has happened in the past to your heart, making you believe you have lived before, just because people confirmed such an event happened really. You need to break the yoke of household demons away from your life and commit your life to Christ. Let me also comment on people who were named after a dead relative or Yoruba folks bearing names like BABATUNDE (Dead father returns) or YETUNDE or IYABO (Dead mother returns), I believe other tribes have theirs, such names give legal grounds for demons operating in the departed person to gain access to one's life.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12
There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens, or a sorcerer or a charmer or a medium or a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord. And because of these abominations the Lord your God is driving them out before you.

3. The first Ifeoma wasnt a child of God before her demise, apart from the fact she died of botched abortion, no demon dare go around with the skin of a child of God in this shameful way....no, dem dey look face, this is the portion of peeps who are in covenant with them because in covenant, they become one and hence, the demon has got rights.

Jude 1:9
But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

4. The second (demonic) Ifeoma won't have associated with had the brother been a fire-brand Christian, no, she dare not, he would have discovered and fry her like chinchin. She would never attend any living/bible church during her stay with the family and would have given "shut up" sign to those with occultic ability and capable not to reveal her secret (They have a common daddy in satan).

2 Corin 6:14c-15
or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

Finally, all the family who related and lived with her need to give their lives to Christ and go through intensive prayers/deliverance and for the child she left behind, he is either another demon in human flesh or human spirit highly possessed of a demon, a session with a well graced minister should reveal the correct one.

Cont..

As the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ draw near, events like the one (Ifeoma) witnessed and described by Analice will be more and more on the increase. This is evident in the number of UFOs that are being reportedly sighted especially in the United States. There are rumours already that some Governments have made establishment with some UFOs and Extraterrestrials, which leads to my last point on the aims of these demons of deception (necromancy)

Rev.13:16-17 The second beast forces all people—important and unimportant, rich and poor, free and slaves—to be marked on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that no one may buy or sell unless he has the mark, which is the beast’s name or the number of its name.

3. Satan is setting up ground for his emergence at the world scene, disinformation is one of the best tools he uses very well. Various theories will be developed on dead people resurfacing to aid his agenda, Governments of the world will enter into negotiation with Aliens (which are actually another set of masquerading demons). There will be mass lose of faith and like Jesus wondered if He will find faith on the earth, so will many elect be deceived.

There is nothing like reincarnation, dead peoples ghost do not wander around or hide in gory places, dead people do not reappear to continue existence in other places, there are nothing like UFOs or Aliens....all of these phenomenon are the working of demons of deception and their agenda is to make you lose faith, a simple litmus test...rebuke them in the name of JESUS Christ and see them reveal their true shape

Dont Forget, the next time your dead relative appear to you or you perceive their presence, just rebuke the appearance in Jesus name, the demon must reveal itself and flee immediately....it is not your dead relative you are seeing, it is a deceptive spirit, it is a demon!!!

HIbreed:
i acknowledge your knowledge about satans workforce(demons), when you'd ever dealt with one,you'll admit how extremey deceptive they are. i've forgotten the part of the bible that calls them intelligent creatures.

You are very correct bro and I will quickly share just an experience along this line. We were to pray and minister to a dear sister who had issues with the marine because her late grandmother was a high priestess of their village river and without her consent sought nor given she was selected to replace her. She came with her mother then for ministration (if I can remember correctly) but on more than 2 occasions of such prayer sessions, we couldn't find any of the demons we have discern earlier in her but on each visits; the whole symptoms reappears and she will start another struggle with those demons immediately she step out of the prayer room.
On the last and final session the Holy Spirit delivered her, one of the brethren was led to call in her mother who always stay outside the room whenever we are praying with her. To cut the long story short, all the demons operating in her life started manifesting and were casted out from her mother that day....thank God for His leading, we never knew they were jumping inside her mum (we later established there was a soul-tie between the two) anytime she steps into the praying room and back when she's out.

Ish 30:21
Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, "This is the way you should go," whether to the right or to the left.

We need God's leading 24/7 to beat the strategies of the devil and that is why, it is those who are led by the Spirit of God, that can grow to become Son and not only Child of God

Very dear to the heart of the devil is the chief demon of necromancy; he is in charge of indoctrination and belief in reincarnation, channeling the dead, consulting the dead, re-appearance of the dead etc. They work closely with the demons promoting UFO, Extraterrestrials etc. Satan do not joke with this demons which are vital to his work and the amount his agents spend in films, media, music, cartoons, pseudo-sciences to promote these things will further affirm this, they work directly with him, they are to him what in economics is called cash cow

The question that begs for answer is why why why are they so important….the reason is quite obvious
Heb9:27 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English)
And just as it is appointed to the children of men to die once, and after their deaths the judgment.
Gods Word Translation put it this way, People die once, and after that they are judged.

1. One of the things satan want people to be ignorant about is death, you see, people will not take their single life serious if and when they believe they will be coming to the earth again, they believe they can always have another chance to mend their ways or live a better life in the coming life, if people know the truth about death and that after it, they would need to give account of their deeds to God, a good percentage of people will seek God design for their life. Hence satan send demons out to masquerade dead people, when people see these things and information of it spreads, it leads to confusion and the truth about death.

2. The most obvious is to tackle God’s word, many does and wont believe the bible or its teaching about death because of this similar experience, they will say to themselves, the bible is wrong because they know of so so event, when a dead person came back to life. These things are deliberate scheme of spirits of necromancy.

Did you ever think that demon masquerading as Ifeoma didn’t know it was been followed by that uncle?...think again.[/i]

[i] Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Cont..later

analice107, I am writing in response to the Ifeoma story, incredible as it sounds, I believe the story is true. Really, you arent the first person to relate this phenomenon as it is well known in some tribes and cultures. Like other brethrens have rightly mentioned, it is another gimmick of the devil and many whose ministry heavily relies on spiritual warfare call them spirits of necromancy.

Permit however to set a background to what I have to say about these demons

In Frank Hammond’s book (Pigs in the Parlor), He mentioned that one of the top generals of the devil is the demon of greed. I totally agree with this because the foundation of human society whether at family, community or global level is well established in greed, it is the currency of secular life, it brings birth to strife, anger, murder, war, genocide etc, can we imagine a world without greed?.

As powerful as greed is however, deception remains the ´'oga at the top' because deception is the other name of the devil himself, he is the founder, promoter and chief executive of lying and deception international Plc, it is what he employed in bringing down the first Adam and it is still the major weapon he uses today. Tell me any sin known to man and I will tell you how it is brought by by deception.

John 8:44 (NIV)
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies

The devil cant operate without deception, have you wondered about people who left the occult and claim they are the second in command to the devil? (by the way, I don’t listen nor entertain those stories, I careless how satan chose to arrange his affairs)´. The question is, how many second in command will the devil have?. The devil does not only lie to deceive believers and non-believers alike but he also deceive even his servants, generals and also...yeah... himself!!!, Jesus Christ said, it is impossible for the devil to say the truth because that is his native or default language, as the truth is not in him.

Think of this way, can God lie?.........emphatic NOO!!!, can the devil ever say the truth?........emphatic NOO!!!

In my 2nd post I will write how the aforementioned relate to the Ifeoma story

I have been awhile on this forum but never stayed glued to any thread like this. I have in the past few days on my spare time read through all the 52pages. If you noticed some likes on your previous comments, that is probably me.
@analice107....your passion for Christ is quite infectious, your humility very touching, I read of your revelations concerning the ministry God is committing into your hands, the Lord will guide you through in Jesus name.

@vooks....someone called you 'spiritual baddooo' in one of the pages, I guess he meant that to mean spiritual-no-nonsense person. You reminded me of what Kenneth Haggins related to some ministers during the healing movement, he warned them about building ministries on spiritual gifts and to be well planted in God's word. I am sure many would have misunderstood him but true to his words, many of the so called God's G ended up badly and some fell out of faith. We can never go wrong with the Bible but then bro...ehmm, dey mix am with love, you take style style harsh small (something I am also guilty and try to work on).A dear Sister I knew back then at the Uni is given to the Prophetic Anointing, unlike her fiance who is called into Pastoral, she dey throw am like a true Prophet, she no dey look face atol. God gave her a revelation you fornicated, she will say it korokoro to your face without mincing words, whereas the Pastor Bro, will take style tell you to avoid sexual immorality if given the same revelation

CharlyG1....Read your insightful comments, they are quite revealing...something satan doesn't like,as he prefer darkness and mysteries.....ehm as painful as it would be, you need pains like vooks in your ministry and for it to enter full maturity, people who no dey look face and yours inclusive, it is dangerous for ministers not to, they are the Tunde Bakares of this world and their ministry is also from God, the end is to make Man of God to be thoroughly furnished unto every good works.

@every other brethren, I throway salute o....I will start my contribution by responding on the Ifeoma episode related by Analice

It is now an open secret that every secessionist directly or indirectly benefited from the arm deals.
Mathematically :
Arm deals (Ad) = Dasukigate (Dg)
Dasukigate (Dg) = PDP campaign fund (Pcf)
PDP campaign fund(Pcf) = PDP $upporters (P$)
PDP supporters (P$) = Secessionist (S)
Therefore Ad = S, provided S = ipob + Afenifere

From reference that ipob + Afenifere = Fortunato
Note that ipob is <benefits &
Afenifere is >benefits QED

Na, you cant finish there....you forgot
arms deal = -(boko haram) or better still arms deal~ (boko haram) (directly proportional relationship) because the amount available for Soldiers = (arms deal)^-1 and also (boko haram)^-1 (inverse)
I can submit then that since arms deal= afenifere +ipob
The real boko haram is the two. If the arms deal hasn't been consumed by the two, funds would have been available to fight and eliminate BH.(remember the inverse relationship between )

Talking down the points I have raised without raising any counter factual points, just makes you look stupiid. I have been in the APC. I have sat with Buhari a number of times, I am an ardent supporter of Buhari, but when someone is toeing a wrong line, you must call it out. I am not even Igbo, so please don't sound like an idiot.

@italo I can't go back to my vomit(catholicism) Christ Jesus has set me free from the bondage of Rome. Twisting scripture to fit into your traditions is pure heresy. Why should I be member of a church whose origin was rooted into paganism, hence the imagery and statues you see in every nook and cranny of the church. Please read the bible more without sentiment and forget what you are hearing from Rome.

God bless and keep you

italo:
You've made zero point as usual. You have nothing to back up your lies and error.

Since speechless3 is your attraction, tell her why you say we don't need the Church, when Jesus thinks we need the Church.

Tell her why you say we don't need intermediaries when Jesus gave us intermediaries.

Tell us why the Biblical Church and it's leaders and members could be physically located but yours is like an invisible secret society that has no leaders on earth, no hierarchy, no history, no doctrine, no basis, no origin, nothing!

Tell her why you trust the Catholic Church to compile scripture and declare it closed...then turn around and demonize the Church.

Tell her why you lie about the Catholic Church. Tell why you can't mention a single original Christian that you claim was killed by a nameless emperor who you claimed formed Catholicism but cannot provide the date it was formed and the date the corticosteroids, orthodox etc were formed because you know you lied in saying they existed before the Catholic Church.

Tell her why you criticize religion and rituals and recitals, when Jesus and the apostles did these things. Heaven is full of recitals and incense and rituals etc.

By the time you can provide her these answers, she should swiftly fly to your mode of worship.

Why are you scared if @Speechless3 approached her heavenly Father without intermediary in prayers, He will answer and respond to her?, why are you afraid if she study the bible diligently, she would come to the knowledge of what her saviour wants from her?

italo:
Pastor Yemi Osinbajo (Vice President) and Pastor Chris Okotie (former Presidential candidate) who both claim to be inspired by the Holy Spirit need to hear this your sermon from your own Holy Spirit.

Hahaha!

Some of what you post as valid points are laughable (I suspect even to you) but typical of you;you are looking for someone to engage you in a ping-pong cycle, sorry I wont oblige you today, not on this thread. @Speechless3 is my attraction here, maybe I will open a thread on "The Roman Catholic Crusade" for all to read and judge, if I do, I will definitely call you out.

italo:
Who was the emperor? Which wars did he fight? Who were these people he killed? When did he from this religion and was it this religion that compiled the NT after he formed it? Mention one original Christian that was killed?

Lies! Lies! Lies!

@Speechless3, Have you heard about "The Crusade"....it is something you can read up when you have the time, you will see how a politicized Christianity fought bloody wars to gain political power.....Jesus didnt ask us to seek political power!!, He said my kingdom is not of this world !!!.
Again, it is no brainer....the word Roman is from Rome, Rome was once the seat of government....why then is the church representing the general christian body of Christ and His Apostles named Rome Church?, it is like saying Abuja Christians....think about it, why?, why?,why?.....simple, before it was made a state church and politicized, there were many others....the Cop, orthodox, eastern churches etc, you see why I dont talk about church organization to you and why you mustnt follow one whose doctrine was mainly collated by her adherents.......Follow the Holy Spirit, Follow the Bible, you wont miss it

dukum:
Thanks for that i have made the necessary modification.

You are welcome

@Speechless3, years ago, I met the Holy Spirit. It was in the middle of the night, I was a Year 3 student at the University. Although I do attend church services, I was confused and my life was like a ship without a course, I was fastly glued and dead in my sins. Then I met the Holy Spirit.

It was a sincere simple prayer.....something like "Father, I know you are out there and you see me, you know I want to live right and I am confused of so many things, I need you in my life, I need you now. I invite you Holy Spirit into my life, come and indwell me, teach me and direct my ways, amen". I know it is not always so for everyone but I felt something that mid-night, words cant explain it, it was a warmth of love, an ease and unburdening of my soul, a peace in my spirit words cant explain....it is beyond words. The bible took a different meaning entirely, my love for the bible increased exponentially, I start to devour it like food, I study it and carry it all over where I go, it was a new me!. People who knew me before, felt and commented on the change in my life. The bible was/is no longer boring!!!, once I open it, there is this voice I never knew before, always giving expositions I never knew about stories and passages I have read and thought I understood before my encounter with the Holy Spirit.

What more, the Holy Spirit started speaking to me, initially I didnt even know but I noticed whenever I come across challenging situation, a portion of the bible will just repeat somewhere in my heart...it will fit exactly to the situation and carry answers also.

Yes, I still listen to genuine Teachers of the Bible (I simply know right within my spirit when I come across a fake one, they mostly preach doctrines of some fathers which are not in tandem with the bible, they practice doctrine of men). Christ enjoyed us to ask for the Holy Spirit, you need Him so that the bible will no longer remain boring to you.

italo:
Hahaha! See Protestant claiming to be Catholic and claiming that Catholics are not Catholics. Delusion at its peak.

Matt16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

The early Christians needed the one Church Jesus foubded.. We are no different.

I am no Roman Catholic nor Protestant, I am a member of the body of Christ.
@Speechless3, politics was introduced into Christianity some years back. A particular roman emperor wanted a religious state, he fought wars and killed many who didn't accept this, he formed a roman Christianity, it is called Roman Catholism (Rome is still existing today and so his the church he formed). Under him, forgiveness was sold to people for fees, alot of the original Christians were killed, people don't want to be Christians again because they love God, it became a religious activity demanded by the state.

Jesus has called us into a relationship, it has nothing to do with politics. That is what you should seek after and only in that relationship can you receive true meaning of life

dukum:
One of the many reasons why i don't like engaging in these kind of conversations.
Shey na the holy spirit just come down tell her about God?,Someone had to tell her there is a God and e.t.c.
I am nt saying you are wrong though,but we need to they apply logic some time.

It is written Holy Spirit.

italo:
True. And you can be very religious and know a lot about Christ.

And you can be non-religious and know nothing about Christ.

Jesus was religious: he participated in the ritual of baptism, pilgrimage, he recited prayers and the ritual of communion etc.

The Apostles too were religious: they participated in the rituals of baptism, communion, anointing the sick, ordination etc.

There is recitation of prayers and burning of incense in heaven. In fact Revelations is full of rituals.

So religion is good...when you internalize it's teachings and practices.

What is bad is empty outward religious practices without internalizing it. E.g Pharisees.

Mother Teresa was a very religious Catholic nun.

She internalized the religion and it made her a good person. Serving God and man.

What about you? How do you compare to her?

You can know alot about Christ and have no relationship with Him, @Speechless3, what you need is relationship with Him, He can be related to. I know you have been taught all your life that you need a saint or priest to help you settle things with God, that is a blatant lie!, Christ doesnt need any intermediary, He says if any man come to me, I will by no means cast away. God knows about your struggles and your internal yearnings, when you surrender your life to Him, He will accept you and with His power transform you into a better person.

@speechless3, let no man tell you God cant be accessed by you directly or you need an intervention of a group of people who are equally battling with their frail humanity. Search the scriptures, if God is true, He will reveal Himself to does who diligently seek Him.

italo:
The only Church that Jesus founded on St. Peter. Led by the apostles and their successors.

Or are you saying the early Christians didn't need the Church?

The real church includes me and all genuine believers in Christ. We are the Catholics (I hope you know it has nothing to do with Roman Catholism). The Church of Christ is founded sorry not on Peter but on Jesus Christ himself. @Speechless3, religious activities will not save you neither doctrine of men, it is only the blood of Jesus that is powerful enough to cleanse, the journey is not a day job but if you embrace Him and study His word diligently, He will reveal Himself in a way you will never miss Him

italo:
But the early Christians needed the Church.

Needed what/which Church?

italo:
What you're saying is that she should leave religion and seek Jesus (that was taught to her by religion) by reading the NT (that was put together by religion).

That's hilarious...at best.

You don't get it. Religion is what she has been practicing....rituals, recitations blah blah, that is not Christianity (I know that is what Catholism embodies), you can be very religious and know nothing about Christ

btoks:
the Holy Spirit is with the Church established by Jesus, no?

As many that are led my the Spirit of God are the Sons (and Daughters of God)...............no intermediary.....she needs the guidance of the Holy Spirit and nothing in between
