It's a love song...

Probably by Solomon to one of his wives or mistress....

Exoterically it refers to the love he has for his God....and how it is making him feel....

Only a mad man would describe his love for God with his sexual urges. That in itself is super disrespectful.
It's ok to say that the songs of Solomon is an uninspired poem mistakenly added to the bible.

AntiChristian:
Song of Solomon 7:7 This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
Song of Solomon 7:8 I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
_____________________________
a) Using the Holy spirit, explain the relationship between the breasts in verse 7 and the boughs of the palm tree in verse 8?
b) By moral standards, should verses like these be read under parental guidance? If yes or no, state reason(s) for your answer.
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
c) 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
In light of this verse, in what way do these verses profit a believer?
d) If all Bibles contain unadulterated words of God, these verses are the words of whom?
* Solomon
* God
* Unknown
Others................................
e) If you have never seen this verses before and you hear your ten years old son reading this to himself in the room, would you feel like, "Oh! Word of God" or you would feel like landing him a slap? State reason(s) for your answer.
f) If a boy wrote this to your daughter in the name of evangelism, teaching of the gospel or in whatever guise, would you take the boy as righteous who is taking your daughter through the scripture or promiscuous who is out to spoil your daughter?

The Songs of Solomon are not inspired works, they are not supposed to be in the bible.

Kobojunkie:
The God of Israel said that regarding His Israel, not your Nigeria. So, if you are seeking to install men who fear God in Nigeria, you must first ascertain the identity of Nigerian deities and install only those who fear them - Orunmila, Amadioha, Abasi, etc.

The God of Israel is the God of the whole world. Learn this and know peace.

Jones4190:
God is not a politician, Jesus himself reject the kingdom of this world, it's quite unfortunately that todays men of gods have received all the kingdom offer to Jesus that he rejected.
a true believe should look forward to the kingdom of God instead of the kingdom of the world

Jesus Christ rejected position because his kingdom was not of this world but remember, it's God that chooses and removes leaders and God gives the people leaders according to their desire so even though he is not a politician, he cares about our leadership.

AntiChristian:
Mustard Seed is not the smallest seed
He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field. Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet it grows into the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches. Matthew 13:31-32

I doubt a mustard seed can even grow to a tree that birds would nest on!

A Cool Parable though but ....Kobojunkie, Elated177, NNTR, tctrills.

So oga, a parable is used to pass out a greater meaning. It's only wisdom for Jesus Christ to use what the people know and understand. If he were in Nigeria, he definitely wouldn't have used the mustard. He would have used a small seed we know. That's basically how parables have worked over the years. The integrity of a parable is in the message it passes.

plaindealer:
Peter Obi's Anambra is obviously still back in the stone age...

Smh..

Please could you also check poverty in Kano and poverty in Anambra let's compare what truly matters.

yashau:
tells me any project commissioned by your state governor that's did not collect bribery, these are gadudje are projects 👌

You celebrate bribery? What kind of person are you? You even want us to turn it into a kind of game.
It is because of common criminals like Ganduje that poverty is extreme in the north. You really need to learn that for every Kobo stolen through bride, the life of a child somewhere is cut short. These men have blood on their hands.
In your first write up, you said God bless Nigeria. But how can God bless Nigeria if we support evil men.

yashau:
Ganduje is one of the best governor we have in Nigeria as of today forget about his dollars bribery video, God bless Kano and God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria 🇳🇬 😳

We should forget about his bribery. It's because of people like you that God is refusing to bless Nigeria. It's because of your type that poverty is extreme in Kano.
You keep singing the prides of bandits.

You want to force others support and you claim to be tolerant. You are only tribalist and evil.

Welcome to the world of Nigerian christianity

Go to his profile and see the dark posts there. GBTYO is just a sick fellow. Unfortunately he happens to call himself a Christian.

Probz:
I can’t be bothered re-iterating with fresh words so I’m just copying and pasting:

“I’m absolutely not a Muslim (by the way). I just had to accept that annoying note to be able to post here and Nairaland went ahead to stupidly plaster it over my wall for now reason. Sort it out, Seun. Absolute joke.”

How can I get rid of the annoying tag that’s not glued to my profile?

Create a second profile and enjoy the 2.

budaatum:
By not having it put there by posting in the Muslim section.

Next time, perhaps don't ignore the warning.

It's not a big deal, let him create another profile and enjoy the 2 privileges.

jaephoenix:
So are you saying your god would kill christians in the process of killing us unbelievers?
I know christians aren't known for their mental acuity but bro, you take the biscuit

Don't mind GBTYO. That boy is a bloody hypocrite. His political posts are all hateful tribalism. Now he comes here to preach. The boy is rotten.

GBTYO:
So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

Does being a tribalist make you a dinner? Are you not one of the tares?

GBTYO:
No. You heathens are still breathing because of the believers in your midst .

Look at you calling others sinners
Are you not that boy on the political thread that calls Igbo's Osu?

GBTYO:
So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ 28 He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ 29 But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

A hateful tribalist in the night and a pastor in the day time. Wonders would never end.

River Niger is wide but it is not deep

Many parts of the Niger the Canoe men can touch the River bottom Poles

River Niger is not very Navigable because it is relatively Shallow even some parts of River Niger

around the Jebba Area can be Crossed by foot during the dry Season because it is that Shallow


Railways are more Economical than digging at least 21 M into the Bed of the River Niger

Please also remember that the Niger Delta is mostly made up of Flood Planes where

Communities living their can easy be washed away by any malfunction in the Construction

of the Canal

For example at Warri port a Section Of the 21 M deep wall collapsed and till today it has not yet been

rebuilt ,if Warri had not been near the Sea where the water could escape to communities

around the Collapsed wall could easily be washed away

Dredging a river is not really expensive relative to a rail. Also it's actually the opposite. Dredging prevents flooding. It increases the volume of water that can flow through the river at a given time.
Dredging of rivers is actually very old technology. It doesn't need any added reinforcement or much construction.
The river was actually dredged during Jonathan's time and if I am correct it cost about 32 billion naira. This is peanuts compared to the cost of rail.

christistruth01:
Dredging for sea going ships to be able to pass is not more cost effective it involves digging the River Niger till it is at least 21 Meters deep but often deeper and i think that the Suez Canal is about 1 mile wide

The Technology and Money to maintain the waterway daily and its deep concrete walls alone is massive
Not to talk of the Communities whose lives would be at risk from any litte Technical Malfunction

Ferries and Barges may go up the Niger but not ships


Go and watch the Documentary on the Port of Tilbury in UK or the one on the Suez Canal

It will be far more Safer and Economical to build Railways to the Sea Ports in Nigeria

The Rhine river and Mississippi are 2 navigated rivers with several ports. In fact, Switzerland depends entirely on the Rhine being landlocked.
It took little to nothing to make these rivers as major arteries for Goods in both Europe and America. None of the expensive construction you suggested are used in any of these rivers. The inland ports on the Rhine and Mississippi each handles more that 2x the volume of all the ports in Nigeria. Infact river transport is the second cheapest form of goods transport in the US. Second only to pipelines.
Without the Rhine, Germany would not be the economic super power that it presently is.
Same goes for UK and the Thames.
The Niger is about 6x wider than the Rhine. It can take much bigger vessels. It's only unfortunate that we have ignored what could have led to great economic development.

satelliteDISH:
Any Pastor, Reverend or church leaders who meant well for his members should round up church service before 9am to allow members to go and change their old naira notes in the bank. This is due to the fact that the closing date for changing of the old naira notes is 31st January, 2023.

The churches don't need to close. Everyone is free to decide why they wants to be. It's up to you to go to the bank or go to church.

Janosky:
Very correct.
OP, pls read 2 Timothy 3:1-7,13 & 1 Corinthians 14:33 , then ask yourself:
Would God be in charge of rulership where chaos & unrighteousness thrives everywhere on the earth?

Would God make this promise in 2 Peter 3:13 if He
were the ruler of this wicked world where chaos & unrighteousness thrives?

The Bible is self explanatory on this matter.
Nobody would force anyone to believe in the holy scriptures.

Shalom.

Dan 2.21
And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding.

In this verse, we learn that God is in charge of the global politics. He appoints rulers and removes rulers.
He does not take the personal decision for these men while on the throne but he is the reason they sit on the throne in the first place.

Moh247:
Lol

Credit system society got you thinking Swiss and Americans are better

Pay they bills and tax and feel their pain

Oga, what are you talking about? The average American lives to be 77 years while Nigerian live to be 20 years younger. Abject poverty in Nigeria is above 50 percentage while relative poverty in US is about 16%, it rose thanks to Covid. You really need to travel. We are in a worse credit predicament. We don't have enough to service our debt and survive. APC has enrolled us in one giant pyramid scheme.

Moh247:
Lol

I beg to defer... Nigerians are not as hard working as Bangladesh, Indians and Pakistan not even half as hard working as Chinese

I can show you many HR consultatant who specifically don't hire Nigerians

Oga, Nigerians are among the top 3 educated demographics in the US. That should tell you everything. The same people once given a chance become the best. But APC has taken away all their opportunities.

Moh247:
Calling multibillion dollars projects junk because you hate your own country?!

NNPC has stake in Dangote Refinery

Mambila dam powered by Siemens turbine is what you deny


Buhari had a simple choice...

1: open land borders and kill local production and Agriculture

2: close land borders and boost self sufficiency


Difficult choice and he picked

You guys claim to love the country but you blame it's people for their poverty. Hypocrisy.
NNPC has a stake in so many drilling projects and do what.
Oga, there is no operational plant in Mambila.
Do you even know the meaning of self sufficiency? Rice is now 5x what it used to be. The average private school teacher in Lagos is paid 25k. Are you defending stupid laws?

Moh247:
You are suffering due to your life choices

You have same 24hours just like everyone making good money

If you travel as much as you claim, you would know that Nigerians are one of the most hard working people. Go to South Africa, France, Spain, Go to the UK then you would understand.

Moh247:
You are suffering due to your life choices

You have same 24hours just like everyone making good money

And some how, everyone in Switzerland is making the right choice but the Africans just decide to make the wrong choice.
The increase in poverty is caused by more and more Nigerians choosing poverty over wealth. But the same Nigerians are the most educated and one of the wealthiest once they japa to US. Who are you guys fooling.

Moh247:
Ok. Standard guarge rail line, second Niger bridge, Dangote Refinery, Dangote fertilizer, Lekki Deep sea port, mambila project all never happened

Any patriotic Nigerian speaking good of Nigeria is paid praise singer

And we must all wail and demean Nigeria

Oga which is more important, all those junk projects or the hunger and suffering of Nigerians. Again it's clear that you are ignorant or you are being dishonest. Let's go over some of the projects you mentioned.
The Dangote projects are private. They began before Buhari and would be operational after Buhari.
Mambila is one of my favorite towns. It's a place I know and love. We do not have an operational power plant there.
Again, you claim to have traveled far and wide so you should know that building projects and good governance are different things.
Ask Ecuador, Pakistan, Sri Lanka

Moh247:
Part of democracy is ability to respect people's choice

You voted Sowore as the best man for you, I voted Buhari as the best for me

Both have pros and cons

I am not killing you for your choice. We all are suffering for your choice. And you would happily repeat the same thing over and over again. I am only telling you that you are poor at making making choices and maybe you shouldn't vote because you choice is destroying Nigeria.

Moh247:
That is because in Islam we are encouraged to praise who did right while condemning who did wrong

Only a monafiq blames even people doing right

And according to Islam, Nigeria has been in the right direction for the last 8 years? If the Nigerian APC leadership is the ideal Islamic leadership then I am afraid.

Moh247:
Good for you, then join politics, leadership isn't exclusive to anyone

Why blame others like you

We blame those we put in power but people like you are their praise singers.

Moh247:
Ok

Who have you ever voted for in your life

My rep is Akin Alabi, my Governor is Makinde

Who and who have you ever voted for or you barely lament online and turned Obi Politician

Commend their efforts and condemn their shortcomings that's democracy

What really is the purpose of your question. But just so you know, I voted for Sowore in the last election. My dad I remember voted for Gani Fawemi in 2003 and if I was eligible I would have also voted same. I voted for Obi as a student.

Moh247:
Buhari , Tinubu, or Obi can not make you rich.. your level of succees and earnings are entirely up to you

You complain without seeking sellable solution

You must monitise your idea if you want to be rich , nobody would help you anywhere in the world

And for a fact I have traveled to 3 continents and I know a lazy Nigerian remains a lazy Nigerian anywhere

As usual, APC blames everyone but themselves. The poverty in Nigeria is caused by the people not the government. If you truly believe what you wrote, I now understand why you vote the way you do.
And before you begin to boast, I don't even stay in Nigeria anymore. I have a produce logistic business. My vehicles travel all across the country to buy food produce for different markets. So I understand the poverty. It's not a result of laziness. It's because we have evil leaders.

Moh247:
Why are you hateful towards good road, standard guarge rail?!

I graduated from LeadCity University, drove almost daily for atleast 3 years on that road under PDP 2009-2012... I lost dear friends and colleagues

Few years under Buhari the road is excellent , I reach speeds I wouldn't dare before

You are our real problem not the government. People like you make our leaders feel like they are doing a great job. You keep voting on fools and celebrating mediocrity. I truly hope you are rich because it is more painful when you see a poor man behaving like you.
