So, as the new president of Nigeria (God forbid), it's still going to be former president Buhari's job?

Apply small sense before you post on the internet abeg.

Oga Buhari is still the president, what is your point?

funkmrflexx:
Why not just prevent it instead of allowing His son to come and die

Why should he do that? Unlike man, God is not scared of death. He knows death is only a transition nothing more. Death is a very important part of God's plan.

MaxInDHouse:
So by the end of the day all your questions has been answered even though you choose to be pigheaded towards the practical application as it's logical.
We're not stopping you from worshiping your own god just know that if you're not one of us you can't possibly worship our God.
Thanks for your time!

Oga please be humble. If you cannot answer a question just say you cant. You have not told me why Matthew 5-7 is only for prospective Christians yet your organization based its covid19 policy from a verse in Matthew 5

plaindealer:
I don't think so, since he's their grand patron...

Just imagine, a biafra terrorist enabler and supporter trying to rule Nigeria....


Mba..

It's not his duty. We pay Buhari to be the chief security officer. Let Buhari stop it.

Planting the tree of the fruit of knowledge of Good and evil in the garden was one of the very best things God has done for man.
God wants us to have the knowledge of Good and evil.
Let me ask you, as parents if you know a thing is poisonous, would you leave it close to your kids?
God knew that mortality was the only way man could gain perfection and become like him.
However, he wanted it to be our choice.

Me and my wife had an argument this morning.
God is all knowing and before creating Adam and even, He know what they would do. He knew they would be Tempted and they would eat the fruit and bring Sin to the world and He also knows that His son would have to die in order to save us from the sin caused by the fruit
Why didn't He just make the fruit inaccessible to them so they don't eat it.
But instead He Allowed them to get access to the fruit, eat and bring sin to the world.

Mind you, He's all knowing and He knows all this would happen before they did. He knew Satan would tempt them and they will fall, He also knew that He would have to curse them when they eat the fruit.

Why not just prevent this by making the fruit inaccessible to them. That's the logical thing to do

Have you ever heard of God's plan?God had a plan for man. If Adam had not eaten the fruit there would have been no need for Christ.

MaxInDHouse:
Prospective disciples as i confidently told you and only those who are willing to live by it stays with him throughout his ministry.

Just as you and i can read it today but i'm the one telling you the practical application whereas you too are claiming Jesus is your Lord yet you don't even care to know how to apply that counseling but i can apply it because i stayed with his anointed brothers who taught me the practical application of what their brother said!

I actually know how to apply his counsel so thank you. But then you are beating around the bush. You claimed Matthew 5-7 was for prospective Christians. Then I ask you if verse 41 which speaks about going the extra mile, is it also for prospective Christians or the real disciples? We both understand why the question makes you uncomfortable.
Your religious beliefs are not sustainable. You always end up countering yourself. It's funny that despite your imperfect beliefs you keep boasting about it and claim you apply it when in the real sense of it, you are only applying your human logic and it has constantly failed you in our discuss.
You guys are generally good people like most Christians but you have a very conflicting doctrine.
A few days ago Matthew 5.41 was your main recourse in an argument but today, Matthew 5-7 is not for JW rather, it's for prospective Christians.
This is what most religions do to men. It confuses and conflicts them.

Imagine if there was a Protest in Onitsha
and Sunday Igboho was calling for the Onitsha Bridge and the second Niger Bridge to be burnt and destroyed
God forbid

Please how will you take it be very honest without insults ?

I would be angry with Sunday Igboho if he did such but I would not become a negative evil person and begin to hate all Yorubas.

IPOB must not Bring their Carnage and destruction anywhere near SW again

it will not be like during Endsars when Nnamdi Kanu was Ordering IPOB on Radio Biafra to Burn

Down Police Stations and every Govt Building in Lagos

6 Policemen were killed in Lagos after Nnamdi Kanu called for the Killing Of Police in that Broadcast

The Broadcast is still on YouTube

Instead of Nnamdi Kanu to explain why he Ordered Lagos to be Destroyed for Biafra to Materialise

he Cowardly Started denying what the whole world had already heard him Broadcast

With my own ears I heard Kanu telling IPOB that all Yoruba Assets in Lagos would be destroyed



Why ?
What is the business of IPOB and Endsars with Yoruba Assets in Lagos

IPOB are War Mongers

.

I keep asking, are you sure you are a Christian or a demon.

The laws of his kingdom so only few Jews responded while others were asking questions having nothing to do the topic of discussion.


We PREACH to them the Good News of the kingdom of our King {Matthew 10:7} and when anyone is prepared to work for our King we baptize them and it's time to TEACH them the PRACTICAL APPLICATION of Good News! Matthew 28:19-20

It's the authorities not just anybody that officially declared a lockdown {Romans 13:1-2} so we go extra mile to prove we are ready to comply! Matthew 5:41

Matthew 5.41 is not for disciples, it's for prospectives have you forgotten.

The two most recent Presidential candidates in the US Elections were 74 and 77yrs old respectively.

Their Senate Majority leader (Mitch McConnell) is 78yrs old and has been in the senate for 35yrs.

Their House is led by an 80yrs old woman (Nancy Pelosi) and she’s been there for 31yrs.

Nigeria's problem is not age but *mentality*: "turn by turn", "chop-I-chop", "Yahoo Yahoo is brain at work", "cheating is smartness" etc.

*No nation becomes better until they change their mentality.*

*BEING YOUNG IS NOT AN ADVANTAGE UNLESS....*

Yahaya Bello was 40, Dimeji Bankole was *34*, Orji Kalu was *39*

Gov. Yahaya Bello was born on *18th July 1975*.

He became governor on Jan 27th 2016 aged *40yrs*.

Anyim Pius Anyim was born 19th Feb. 1961.

He was elected Senate President in August 2000 aged *39*.

Let's talk about Dimeji Bankole.

He was born 14th, Nov. 1969 and was elected into house of Reps in 2003 when he was just *34!!!*

He later became speaker of house of Reps. in Nov 2007 at *38yrs as a bachelor*.

*Let me shock you more*....

Orji Uzor Kalu was born on 21st, April 1960 and was elected in 1999 at just *39*.

*AM I COMMUNICATING*?

Donald Duke was born 30-11-1961, also elected governor of Cross River State in 1999 at *38*.

These are some of the *YOUTHS* who had found themselves in leadership positions.

*Did they do things differently*?

What indelible marks would you say Dimeji left as speaker being a young man?

What of Orji Uzor Kalu?

Did he serve Abia State differently and better as a young man?

*Our problem is not age of aspirants or candidates*.

Those who plunged us into this wahala are also youths.

The active players in the *civil war* were all youths.

*The actors of 1st and 2nd coup of 1966 were all young men*.

One of them was *Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu*.

He was just 29 years then, born on 26th, Feb 1937

The beneficiaries of subsequent coups were also youths

Yes! In their **20s, 30s and early 40s*.

*One of them was Yakubu Gowon*.

Yakubu was born 19-10-1934, became head of state in July 1966 at youthful age of just *32!!!*

He married his wife, Victoria as a sitting *head of state!*

What do all these our parents tell us made them to fail and we think we can do differently and better?

Are these ones; Bukola Saraki, Dino malaiye,, Wike, Tambuwa, Fayose not youths when they got elected to serve?
What positive impact did they make?

Those shouting *'Not too young to rule*' must also remember *'NOT TOO YOUNG TO STEAL*'

Our problem is not *age, sex, qualification, tribe or religion of leaders*.

It is having that *DETERMINATION and COMMITMENT TO SERVE*.

It's about being *God FEARING AND POSSESSING LEADERSHIP QUALITIES* like *AHMADU BELLO, AWOLOWO, ZIK, BALEWA and others*.

They were also youthful when they came on board.

So, it is NOT just about their AGE.

They were determined to serve

*_May God bless our country �� Nigeria._*

[quote author=MaxInDHouse post=117086841]Of course Jesus was laying the foundation of the New Covenant with the sermon on the mount so it's those who stick to him through thick and thin that he gave that new commandment not all his listeners.
Note that along the way most of those following him turned their backs never to go to him again {John 6:66} it's after seeing that this ones are ready to follow him anywhere he goes that he now gave them that new commandment! John 13:34-35

You have not answered, was he teaching them prospective commandments or the laws of his kingdom?

In the same manner JWs only preach and teach the things Jesus commanded us to teach strangers but before we baptize them we begin teaching them the deeper things so they may choose to continue with us or take their leave, if they take their leave we will continue to greet them because they showed interest in our God but they're not our brothers since they never stood firm for what binds us together as one. But in the case of someone who has vowed to live his/her life in harmony with the teachings of our King then suddenly turn his back and go back to the things behind {Luke 9:62} we must not greet him or her! Romans 16:17; 2John 10-11

Yes I understand the bible talks about eating milk for the new members but that is not the question. Do you teach your prospective members, the laws of the kingdom of God or something different? I understand you can't teach them everything then but when they become your members, are they to drop what you previously taught and follow new laws?

I noticed that you're dodging these two scriptures written by the first century Jewish disciples of Christ but don't worry we know why!

I read every scripture you posted. Please sir address your Covid controversy.

VOsimhen144:
Before I proceed, I know Obidient supporters are coming to this thread to spit vile words on me but the good news is I'm also a supporter of Peter Obi. If it's only one vote Peter Obi gets on that election day I think it's my vote because I want a better Nigeria.

Majority of Peter Obi supporters don't have PVC. 6 out of 10 people drumming support for Peter Obi don't have PVC. And as long as I'm concerned, this presidential election is between Tinubu (APC) & Atiku (PDP), Infact I won't be surprise if kwankwaso beat Peter Obi with large margin.

I want Obi supporters to understand that Social media votes is greatly different from reality votes. I'm also happy Peter Obi is winning all votes on social media and that's a good start But those of us casting our vote on social media please do we have PVC to exercise same rights in reality for Peter Obi to win?

You need to see the people drumming support for Atiku and Tinubu, majority of them have PVC, including the ones that aren't even up to 18 and that's the Reasons Tinubu and Atiku are not moved when they see Peter Obi winning votes on social media because they know Peter Obi true supporters don't have PVC.

I don't want to mention any moniker here, but there's this particular guy that has been drumming support for Peter Obi since he emerged to LP. Today I was so surprised to see he didn't have PVC. I told him to go and get his PVC then Before I knew it another Obidient moniker quoted me to insult me, calling me Agbadorians just because I adviced someone to get his PVC. Twitter too the same thing.

I'm really scared for Peter Obi.

Oga, I don't know who would win the next election, but don't fall for their lies. Millions of Nigerians got serious about PVC the moment Peter Obi became a contender. Less than 80 million Nigerians have PVC out of over 200 million. So it's ok to see millions who support Obi without PVC. Its same for all parties.

MaxInDHouse:
Matthew 5-7 is a sermon to establish his own kingdom not what the Jew knew or were taught in their laws that's why he has to tell them:
“Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill" Matthew 5:17
Because everything he taught that day was totally strange to their hearing!
In fact the prayers, fasting and many other things they were doing along with their prophets Jesus said things totally different from all! Matthew 6:1-8

He was talking to prospective disciples among the Jews so it's not the usual laws they knew that he was talking about! Matthew 5:33-48

You will continue to hear him say "you have heard but i am now telling you"

First, I notice you are doing a great job avoiding my question on Matthew 5:41,' whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two'. This was your covid19 lockdown excuse. Was Jesus talking to disciples or prospective disciples?

Secondly, I like the fact that = you are now shifting ground. So you are now saying that Matthew 5-7 was not the Jewish law however, it was not his Law to his followers but something in the middle. Very funny.
It doesn't matter if he was talking to prospective disciples, the question is, was he teaching them his commandments? Does he have 2 sets of commandments, one for disciples and the other for prospective?
When you as JW teach prospective members, do you teach them the commandments of God or the Prospective commandments of God?

MaxInDHouse:
He reminds the Jews God's law but to his own disciples he gives another law!

There's a difference between Jesus and Christ.
The man Jesus is a Jew who grew up among the Jews and taught all the Jewish laws along with all other Jewish children {Deuteronomy 6:4-7} but the day he got baptized everything about him changed and he became Christ one who is establishing a New Covenant and that's what he is TEACHING his own disciples not the general Jewish laws.
So if you truly want to know the difference it's simple because after his disciples received the Holy Spirit they love everyone as neighbours but fellow believers as brothers! Galatians 6:10

No, Matthew 5 to 7 does not contain the Jewish commandments. You need to read it.

Also, the other day, your excuse for no longer preaching on the streets after the Covid19 lockdown was "you were going the extract mile". I am sure that you guys forgot that it was in Matthew 5 that Jesus taught that principle. Was he teaching Jewish law or was he talking to his disciples?

MaxInDHouse:
You're mixing it all up my guy.
@ Matthew 5 Jesus was TEACHING the crowd that came to him anticipating becoming his disciples so he's teaching them his own laws but @ Matthew 19 the Sadducee questioned him not to learn from him but to make the crowd think that Jesus is just a story teller and that everything they needed to know is already in the Mosaic laws.
So Jesus answered that Sadducee based on what the Mosaic law says but the one you're quoting right now is for those who wants to learn from Jesus whom they believe is Christ!

No, you are mixing it. You believe Christ has 2 sets of commands. One for the crowd and the other for the disciples. In the same Matthew 5, he told the crowd, Blessed are the Pure in heart for they shall see God. I guess the crowd would be able to see God but not his disciples since according to you, he was not talking to them.
The other day, your excuse for not preaching during the lockdown was because you were going the extra mile as Jesus commanded in Matthew 5. Did you forget that Matthew 5 was for the crowd and not for his disciples?

Pandev:
Good, na how them go take style destroy toll gate them dey find. You can pass through there, take pictures, upload it on social media and start shouting hurricane, cloud, storm etc. No destroy anything like you did during endsars

MaxInDHouse:
Ọmọ Jesus was a member of the first century Jewish community that's why he emphasized on the most important part of the Mosaic laws given to that nation {Matthew 22:34-40} but he later gave a new commandment to his own PERSONAL disciples who are totally a different as a group from all Jewish religious sect! John 13:34-35

So he wasn't giving the Jews who doesn't want him as their Messiah any laws he only reminded them of the laws Moses gave them but his own commandments is for only his own disciples! John 15:12-15

Wrong again. Are saying that the first century Jews were commanded to love everyone but Christians were taught to love one another? If so, was Jesus talking to the Jews when he taught, "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?"

My guy, Jesus Christ instructed his followers to love all men not only their brothers. He condemned those who love their brothers only.

Janosky:
Did you see any iota of love @ Mark 11:15-17 & 1 Corinthians 5:11-13?

Don't compromise God's standards in order to please people in the guise of love.
Jesus Christ love no go reach that level.

You bring up verses that have nothing to do with the topic. So parents that beat their kids hate their kids?

Janosky:
Galatians 6:10 & John 13:34-35.
You either understand it or you don't get the understanding.

Nothing in these verses support your funny doctrine. Jesus Christ did not teach two doctrines. He taught one doctrine to all who would follow him. Are you denying Christ's commandment to love your neighbor as yourself? Or was that commandment not for you?

MaxInDHouse:
Ọmọ i've told you this thing before that there's a lot to learn from us but then you keep running and throwing tantrums, perhaps you want more of the injections of truth so i'll give you more than you ask for!

It's the same Jesus who told the general public in the first Jewish community that the greatest of all commandments is love God and the second is love your neighbour as yourself {Matthew 22:37-40} you will notice that it was a Sadducee that asked him the question that prompted that response {Matthew 22:34-36} but when Jesus wants to give JWs the new law he said:

"I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also love one another. By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves" John 13:34-35

This case totally differs from that of the general public because this kind of love is for IDENTIFICATION of the true disciples of Christ as it permeates among them. No wonder Paul the Apostle emphasized on this kind of love when he said:

"So, then, as long as we have the opportunity, let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to us in the faith" Galatians 6:10

So the difference is CLEAR!

There is always something to learn from all organizations so enough with the boasting. I have learnt so much from different people and organizations.

You are not making any sense here. You are saying Jesus Christ had 1 set of commandments for the public and another for the JW.
How would Jesus Christ give commandments to those who are not his followers? Does that even make sense to you?
So what reward would he give his nonfollowers for keeping his commandment?

All his commandments where to those who choose to follow him.
He did not have one set of commandments for followers and a second set for the world.
You keep making things up.

MaxInDHouse:
You missed it big time!
The illustration of the good Samaritan shows that he's a NEIGHBOUR to the victimized Jew but according to Jesus JWs should have a different kind of love for our fellow JWs, we must love fellow JWs the same way Jesus loves us! John 13:34-35

So the GENERAL kind of love is that called NEIGHBOURLY but that which Jesus commanded JWs is BROTHERLY!

Now learn the difference:

The neighbourly love say love as myself {Mark 12:31} which means since i do deprive myself of certain things i can do the same for my neighbour.
But the brotherly love say love as Christ love in this case i must be prepared to lay down my life for my brother in faith just as Christ Jesus did! John 15:12-13

So there is a CLEAR difference between the two!


The Jews only greet their fellow Jews since they don't have anything to do with pagans but as Christians we are commanded to preach so we must greet everyone because we don't know those who may like to accept Christ through our message or attitude. But anyone who has tasted the faith and turned his/her back we mustn't even say a greeting to them {Romans 16:17; 2John 10-11} they have declared that they're not of our sort! 1John 2:19

Oga the commandment was not to have neighborly love for others but to love them just the Same way you love yourself. Do you have neighborly love for yourself?

MaxInDHouse:
What business do i have with you if we share nothing in common? Matthew 24:15
Is it not what we share that made us brothers? Matthew 12:46-50
So if i don't know you and you don't know me what exactly could have given birth to such kind of love? John 15:12-14

Ọmọ the only kind of love that i can have for anyone who is not my brother in faith is the GENERAL love for strangers! Matthew 18:15-17

There is nothing like the general love. The only kind of love the Lord requires of you is to love everyone the same way you love yourself.
For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Road infrastructure is as basic as the air we breathe. It is a linear way for the conveyance of traffic which, to a great extent, has an improved
surface for use by vehicles; both motorized and non-motorized, including pedestrians. Roads play the very vital role of aiding transportation.

Before now, Anambra State prides as a state with the best network of roads. This entails that nooks and crannies of the state can be easily accessed from community to community without hitches. Sadly, this may no longer be the case, as most roads in the state have become death traps, causing untold hardship to the population.

During the campaign which ushered in the Governor Chukwuma Soludo-led administration, one resounding request across communities was the provision of roads. Thus, when Governor Soludo mounted the saddle of governance, one of the major thrusts and focus of his government centered on how to provide access roads across the state.

However, restrained by scarce resources, Governor Soludo has narrowed the focus and prioritized the construction of strategic roads. By this the Soludo-led administration is constructing roads that link and open up communities, support economic growth and improve the lives of Ndi Anambra.

To achieve this target, Anambra State Government decided to ‘sprinkle’ roads in strategic parts of the state. For instance, Governor Soludo flagged off the construction of nine roads in Okpoko, Ogbaru Local Government Area that are approximately 14.3 kilometers. When these roads are completed, they will give the people of the area, who feel they have since been neglected, a sense of belonging.Work has also commenced on the eleven kilometer Mmiata Anam-Nzam road. When completed, the road will boost agro-economy of the area in particular and Anambra State in general.

Also, Governor Soludo has flagged off construction and rehabilitation of about sixty-point-two kilometers of roads across the state.

Works are already ongoing in the sites. These include the twenty-six kilometer Awba-Ofemili-Amansea road. The communities in this stretch who will benefit are as well agrarian communities. They are Amansea, Ebenebe, Ugbene, Ugbenu and Awba-Ofemili all in Awka North Local Government Area. Similarly, the 26.4 kilometer Amansea-Ndiukwuenu-Awa-Ufuma road which links the state Capital, Awka and Orumba North and South axis which is targeted to be completed within four months will not only improve economic activities, but drastically reduce travel time.

Other roads currently receiving the attention of the state government are: the six hundred meter stretch Isu/Igbo, Isuofia/Igboukwu section of the Ekwulobia/Nnobi Road popularly called Isu-Igbo river, the seven point-seven-nine kilometer Akpaka- Basilica road in Onitsha North Council Area, the flood control work at the Ogidi/Ogbunike road, and the rehabilitation of the failed portion of Mmili John road in Ojoto, Idemili South Local Government Area.

At the last count, Governor Chukwuma Soludo has flagged off over eighty kilometer roads across the state. This is out of the two-hundred and twenty kilometer roads he targets to complete in his first year in office. In his words, in no distant time, Anambra will become a massive construction site. According to the pact signed between the state government and contractors handling the different roads, it is expected that the roads will have a twenty year life span.

These projects are according to the People’s manifesto, Governor Soludo’s promise to Ndi Anambra. He assured that his administration will modernize and maintain existing roads, connect more communities with new roads, build flyovers, spurs and bridges, insist on durable roads, explore alternative business models including concessioning to provide more and better roads. So far, he is fulfilling the promise.

Ndi Anambra, the solution is here!

I hate praise singers. Why don't you wait till he completes the roads.
