TimiRume:
Importance of having elders in a church

Modified: Haven seen his previous videos from years back on this matter of phone ringing, and also the recent one where he walked out, I don't think he is wrong. In short, I agree with him. He has been preaching about the need for discipline in the body of Christ and why we need to show reverence to God's word when we come for it. Eventhough I think the person whose phone rings should be asked to leave instead of the whole congregation paying for one person's carelessness, he said he finds it difficult to ascend in the spirit when there are phone distractions. So even if the person at fault leaves, he won't still be able to impart much on the congregation( though God can be merciful).

My conclusion is that disciplinary measures like this may appear cold and unloving but at the end they would prove effective.

Picture this, imagine a suicidal person came to church, hoping to listen to the word of God, looking forward to hear something or someone to give him hope.
Imagine the number of people that needed to hear the word of God that day. Imagine the evil and sins that would have been prevented if that pastor preached. But he got irritated and refused to fulfill his purpose. It's a shame. He showed no respect for his employer (God)
Remember the words of Christ to Peter, "Feed my sheep."
That day, the said pastor left the sheep to starve.

CoronaVirusPro:
Dead to you! But an inspiration to many that will come after him.

I hope you are inspired enough to take his place. Leave Nairaland for us cowards. People like you should be in the tunnels with your Hamas heros

CoronaVirusPro:
That’s a fvckin hero that you will never be. A 60 year old freedom fighter who died in the forefronts of battle and fought with his last breath.

That kind of man you will never be.

Anyways, Fvck you!

And now your great hero is with his 72 virgins. Hope you know that there is a vacancy in the Hamas leadership. Don't you want to be a hero?

Lanre1st:
Dumb

You think they will be paradi g the street like you? Or carry gun to to enforce sit-at-home.

How many Yoruba politicians you see follow Yoruba Nation.
Have you ever seen any Northerners politicians that claim association to Boko Haram. But truth is they are the Financial and master minder of all these agita

Now you see who is really dumb?
You couldn't even mention one politician supporting Biafra. And your question on how many Yoruba politicians support the Yoruba nation is very stupid because unlike you, I don't depend on beer palour news. I depend on fact so I will not accuse any politician of supporting the Yoruba nation without having the facts. You should learn to do that too.

mrkia:
Well articulated. May Allah bless our President.

May the camp of the children and the innocent murderers not know mercy and peace so also for their supporters and their sympathizers

I don't care if your gods bless your president but it's your people that need the blessings. Your president is already a billionaire while your people wallow in hungry. Please update your gods.

Lanre1st:
Shut up!

Who is holding Biafra from seceed from Nigeria.

The agitation is not genuine, it's just a tool Eastern politian is using to give hope to their people and also to negotiate for better Federal positions, betterstill Presidency

Oga, how many eastern politicians are in the Biafran movement? Stop saying things you can't prove.

kettykings:
i swear israel is beginning to look weak and irritating

Yes oh, Tinubu is begining to look very strong and I am sure you are very proud of him.
Where do you get your news from?

Mathepedia:
It has already happened, just fix your mistakes and come back

First, they must identify the mistake. What do you think their mistake was?

givedemwotowoto:
The issues you mentioned are smaller issues compared to American democracy and racism.

First, it's not undemocratic to oppose the result of an election. In a democracy you are free to accept or oppose results.
Secondly, mention one of Trump's policies as president that was racist. How did any of his policies negativity affect minorities?
Blacks had their lowest unemployment in 60 years under Trump. Black poverty was it's lowest in 40 years under Trump.
And lastly, Obama's economy was a joke when compared to Trump's. Do your research.

givedemwotowoto:
For me the number 1 goal is to keep Trump out of the White House. Hopefully this will be his last run. These are my reasons:

This did not age well and clearly the facts are not on your side.

Tellmeastory:
The man that some so-called Nigerians love so much actually hates the very look of your faces, and wants nothing to do with you.

How shameless is your slave mentality to even consider supporting this racist man?

According to the UK Guardian newspaper, a few years ago, ''Donald Trump bemoaned a lack of immigrants to the US from “nice” countries “like Denmark [or] Switzerland”...

His words:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/08/trump-immigration-north-europe

You don't realize it but you are the one acting like a slave. You need to free yourself and get on with life.
Your anger is that Trump prefers immigrants from developed countries, but then who doesn't?
Everyone prefers immigrants that would give more to the nation. Not immigrants that would depend on food stamps and tax payers money to survive.

HitSong:
Age of consent in Europe and the Catholic church shifted from 6 to 9 in the past 300 to 100 years ago.

Now that's between 14 to 18, hypocrites will say it's absurd and evil that iraq is doing this.

Slavery was legal in Europe 300 years ago and women were not allowed to vote. Positive change is not hypocrisy.
Women are humans and shouldn't be treated as commodity.

madridguy:
Which Hamas leader is that again? Why are you trying to force them to sign peace agreement? The Hamas have told you Israeli they won't sign any peace agreement until total withdrawal of your soldiers, release every Palestinians in their prisons.

Let's watch and see. The US will no longer pamper these people. Personal, I don't want a peace agreement. Terrorists don't deserve peace

ReubenE:
Musk the immigrant that has forgotten where he is from. Willing to burn same bridge that gave him the opportunity of elevation

Meaningless words. No one is burning anything here. These men are trying to make peace and prevent ww3

otipoju:
I tell you. It's gonna be a very long four years. Na still the black males that voted for Trump go suffer am pass.

You mean like they suffered the last time he ruled?
The best economic outcome for blacks was in 2019. Please do your research.

God1000:
slave mentality is a serious disease

And that's why you shouldn't be acting like a scared slave and accusing white people of trying to enslave you. Oga you are are free man now. Stop living in the shadows.

God1000:
Trump’s America

the reality show begins

This is clearly the action of a crazy person trying to create fear. You are too smart to buy into this.

HitSong:

I don't fancy the burqa even as a Muslim. One can dress decently and modestly without covering the WHOLE FACE.

But
Cultural or religious dressing is basic human right and NO ONE CAN BAN IT.

I know frustrated pigs will quote me to say rubbish but I don't care.

All those OSU children of hate and perdition.
They know themselves.
IDF TERRORISTS SUPPORTERS.

Your hate is strong oh. Clearly you are a hypocrite.
But then I am sure you don't care as long as you are able to insult others.

Obrigardo:
White nationalism I'm afraid is now at the core of the rapist's trump's presidency. It will be dark, bloody, and crime will be free.

Uneducated white people have killed the world.

You are clearly an evil racist. And the big problem with people like you is that you spread your hate and wickedness with no recourse to facts and truth.

pennsylvania in the bag. It's over. Trump is officially the greatest American politician of all time

chloedogie:
Well by Wednesday morning, we will see. I think democrats learnt their lessons from 2016. They've got the assured popular votes but they have been doing some wonderful jobs like they did during Biden's campaign to flip a lot of battle ground states.

Ask me, they have a winning template to replicate and boom. Trump card was just blackmail and a bit of racism. My opinion though. I kuku don't have one single vote in the matter but really interested in it. We will be following.

By all metrics, Trump is doing better than in 2016 and 2020 but we never know. Whoever is able to bring out their base would win. Harris is banking on the liberal female vote )The abortion voters) while trump is hoping to increase his votes among blacks, Hispanics and the white working class.

Difrent:
You missed the part where I said we produce some, others produce some and they all add up. Go back and reread it

My only point is that when it comes to manufacturing, every single zone in Nigeria is a disgrace. Take it from someone that has been to every zone and beyond the shores of the country. Nigeria is a big shame when 8t comes to manufacturing.

Difrent:
We produce

You sell

Nobody ever said they produce what the whole country needs, if I produce some, others produce some,it all adds up

No region produces up to 20% of it's manufactured goods so your boast is very misleading. The manufacturing capacity of the SW or any other region in Nigeria is embarrassing. That you could even boast about it is shocking.

Difrent:
MUMU

The same Awo built the first industrial estate in Nigeria.
We produce
You sell

You last statement is so incorrect. Nigeria is a major importer of finished goods. No region in Nigeria is an industrial powerhouse by any stretch.
We I see people boasting of how industrialized their region is, I always laugh because such people don't know what they are talking about and have never traveled.

tundegan:
Israel is a terrorist state.

This is beyond inhumane.

It's very humane. It's called taking security measures. They have to be searched down to their underwear.
You should do the same if you want to stay alive.

ijebosb:
You don't need to help me. You should try helping yourself by actually learning about US history.

Black people in the US suffer bad outcomes largely because of entrenched systematic racism by southern racists who largely make up the Republican party.
In the 1920's, racists burned down a prosperous black town called Black Wall St.
60 years ago, schools in the US were segregated. Black people couldn't go the same schools as whites nor sit at the same counters in some places.
In the 80's they had laws that prevented Black people from buying houses in certain areas.
All the rights Black people won were on the back of Northern liberals who now make up the Democratic Party.
There are people alive who couldn't go to school with white people and you are asking why some black people today are still struggling?

I'm done with this argument. You keep repeating the same nonsensical point.
As I said, read some US history, you clearly have no perspective.

Now you have ran away from the topic and gone to a totally different thing called systemic racism.
So let me ask you, can you list only 5 laws in the US that are racist and hold black people down and can you point to any democrat policy or proposal to fix that law.
I don't really expect you to reply because we both know you don't have any answer but you want to keep saying things you can't explain.
But if you are truly honest and not just another slave of the democrats plantation list the racist laws that are holding black America down.
It's very dumb for you to be pointing to 60 years ago and not being able to point to systemic racism today.
The united states' has come a long way. They have righted the wrongs of 60 years ago. 60 years is 3 generations ago.
You can't continue to hold on to that. It's just a shame.
Lastly, to correct your falsehood, the Dems were the racist of the south and only one southern senator switched parties in the 60s.
Learn your history.

ijebosb:
Wrote a response that got auto-banned so won't repeat it.
Your data seems of.
You seem to be arguing since there is some correlation it equals causation.
Your argument is that a Republican state like W.Virginia with generational white poverty, where white people can't get ahead, will be somehow better for black people?
Sounds very silly.

You clearly don't understand my argument and it makes you sound silly.
Now let me break it down for you.
Blacks living in richest and democrat ruled cities in America still suffer some of the worst outcomes. In these cities, the lack of money isn't the excuse for negative black outcomes because they are super rich. The only reason is because the Dems ruin the black community.
One in four black man living in District of Columbia arguably the richest place on earth per Capita, expected to be poor.
Dems have been in power since 1964 in that city.
If you are ok with this then I really can't help you.

IjeBos:
Look at this list of richest cities.
Notice something.
The ones in the US are all Dem run outside of the Texas cities (oil money).

You are missing the point.
If The District of Columbia with a GDP per capita $259,954, and being one of the richest places on earth and controlled by the the Dems yet it has one of the highest rates of poverty and black poverty in the US then any black man voting for the Dems must have his head checked.

If New York city, a city with a GDP of $1.206 trillion many times richer than the richest African country and under democrats yet it has a one out of four of every black child living in poverty and 55% of black 3rd graders were not proficient in reading yet you can see who is the slave master.
Democrats cities are super rich yet they have the worst outcomes for blacks.
If California was a country, it will be the 5th richest in the world yet, only 2 in 10 Black and Brown students are reading at grade level, which is 14 percentage points below the state average. Just 1 in 10 are doing math at grade level, which is 10% below the state average.
Please explain why the democrats are not your slave masters. They have all the money in the world yet they only create bad outcomes for blacks.
Explain please

Krismas:
Abu Obaida is not dead in Gaza. Hamas is stronger in Gaza now, than when the war first started. Meaning Israel’s military operation is USELESS

You should just become a comedian. The useless Israeli military just took out all your leaders. If that is the definition of useless, I pray to be useless.

Krismas:
If Israel doesn’t need more soldiers, then why are they luring Kenyans with passport promises?
Hamas never had a shortage of fighters. It is Israel that has lost a whole division in Lebanon already. So go and help

Beer palour news as usual. On the other hand, we both know that your Hamas bros are looking for a new leader. Are you not interested?
I heard that the last one was a millionaire and he now has 72 new girlfriends in hell

IjeBos:
These are the states with the lowest poverty rates.
As you notice all but one is Republican.

Republican states are by far the poorest, least educated, have the lowest life expectancy, etc. etc.
In fact Republican states are welfare states, they get more money back from the US government than they give via taxes.
So Blue/Democratic states support Red/Republican States.
In fact, counties that voted for Biden accounted for 70% of the US GDP. Those that voted for Trump accounted for ~30%

But, it's the Black people who are on the Dem plantation, rather than the White people who generationally vote Republican even though they are generationally poor for it?
It seems you want black people to not only go back to bondage but be economically poorer for it as well.

This makes no sense. Poverty in states is a very different thing from cities run to the ground.
What the democrats have done is to take really wealthy cities and run them to the ground.
Let's use District of Columbia as our example.
It's by far the richest district in the US. It has a higher gdp per Capita than Monaco, and Luxembourg. Yet it has one of the highest poverty rates and its poor are majority blacks.
Note, it's GDP is $259,954.
So really you have no point.
The democrats are lucky to run the richest states and cities as of present but we see how they run them to the ground and turn them to hell for black people.
detroit was once the richest city in the US untill your people turned it to garbage.

Minority neighborhoods on Chicago's South Side and West Side face poverty rates of up to 51%.
This also used to be one of the best cities in the world and it is still one of the richest places on earth.
In New York City, 23% of Black New Yorkers live in poverty, This is the greatest city in the western hemisphere with a black mayor.
Now who is keeping the blacks in slavery? Dems or the GOP?

Krismas:
Ofcourse they are flexing with one division of IDF that have perished in Lebanon since the last 4wks. Continue to live in denial, you are Losing the war!

Funny boy. We both know who is doing the dying and it's not Israel. Right now, no one is confident enough to become the new leader of Hezbollah e get why.
