I hope they are not obeying their spiritualist?.And all those collecting the money are not freely exchanging their destinies for a couple of naira.? The devil does not give anything for free.

Paul said so to encourage his fellow believers to try as much as possible to reach all kinds of people with the Good News of God's kingdom just as Jehovah's Witnesses are doing today.
But the truth is that we will find God's children who will accept the message in all nations of the earth meanwhile before they accept the message God doesn't see them as children:


"He came to his own home, but his own people did not accept him. However, to all who did receive him, he gave authority to become God’s children, because they were exercising faith in his name" John 1:11-12

According to the highlighted it's evident that it's only those who accept the message of God's kingdom that God welcomes as His children not everyone!

Satan himself was God's son but whoever chooses to become a rebel God will condemn the same way He condemned Satan!

Well Jesus knew that all humans and spirits came into existence because God created us but only those who are doing His will God refer to as His children:

They are the ones who have acted corruptly. They are not his children, the defect is their own. They are a crooked and twisted generation Deuteronomy 32:5

Woe to the sinful nation, The people weighed down with error, A brood of wicked men, corrupt children! They have abandoned Jehovah; They have treated the Holy One of Israel with disrespect; They have turned their backs on him. Isaiah 1:4

That's why Jesus could declare humans as "Satan's Children" because they choose to be so!

So in one part of the scripture, all are his children and another part says some are the children of the devil. Funny enough you choose to believe the verses that say some are children of the devil and you neglect the verses that teach that all mankind are the children of God. For me, I believe the 2 verses. We are all children of God as the bible says but some have given themselves to the devil.

MaxInDHouse:
Can you explain what Jesus meant @ John 8:44?

MaxInDHouse:
Well Jesus disagree with the highlighted:

You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer when he began, and he did not stand fast in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie. John 8:44

So will you like to know what Jesus meant by the above statement or you still think everyone is God's children?
Judas committed a grievous blunder and his conscience really works that's why he opted for suicide, those that paid him to betray Jesus are never God's children!

Dtruthspeaker:
See your somersault!

You clearly said
"if you can't trust one verse, (obviously because the verse was a thief), you become suspicious of other verses. (the other remaining thieves).

Now, you are saying you would only be suspicious "of that man" (verse) and "not all men" (other verses).

No wahala.

MaxInDHouse:
Judas committed a grievous blunder and he felt so bad afterwards meaning Jesus' teachings is still at work in this guys heart despite his errors. Had it been he is able to return and beg Jesus for forgiveness Judas would have returned, but it was too late because he saw Jesus killed due to the blunder he committed.
So do not compare children who has no conscience with Judas!


Both share the blame but when the parent tries to train the child God doesn't take the child's error to the parent, what God's word is saying is that you can succeed in raising God-fearing children if you follow the protocols set in Deuteronomy 6:4-9

MaxInDHouse:
They worshiped God and succeeded in making friends with him but regarding parenthood the did not get things right!
First of all training a child is like following Jesus' teachings, you don't need to have biological children before training them in God's way. Most people don't want their children to be too much spiritual so they often mix things unlike Jesus who taught his own spiritual children 100% spirituality. Only Judas Iscariot lost out not because he didn't want to continue in the things Jesus taught him but his conscience will not permit him to continue living seeing how woefully he failed despite all what their spiritual father taught them!

MaxInDHouse:
100% simply means the best a parent can give i'm not talking about perfection but 100% concentration so that you will not be distracted.
All these people you mentioned got distracted because they believe in the children as their possessions not how God wants them to view the children which is God's possession!

Arizonaz:
How come Channel TV are giving us a live video of this incident and cannot give us updates on Boko Haram and their various departments in the northern part of Nigeria?

Now Election is on ground dem dey flex muscles.

Candidlady:
My mum knows my dad and his gimmicks! He is never around, and i know she knows that my dad got side chick(s)

before now they quarel all the time bout it, but one way or the other they have found their way around it(maybe they gave eachother hallpass, ireally dont know)


where me i have issue with him is giving a cashier his complementary card or paying the bills of a total stranger(believe me am a lady and i know those tactics), in my presence

me his daughter will be in his front and the old man go still dey try catch "side chick"

should i confront him or the girls?

nb: dnt care if he is doing it but he should atleast respect me! Ijust pray he doesnt get "atagalised" by 'em "chidinma" out there

MaxInDHouse:
No you got it wrong!
It's not about perfection but giving your best as if you're handling a project on which the survival of the entire human race depends!

You don't have to be perfect to do that, all you need is dedication with trust in God who will direct you through His word, organization and Holy Spirit to be successful in the task.
You have to see the children as God's possession given to you as employed caretaker! Psalms 127:3

PureStarman:
The world is civilized
Children of these days are different from that of then
So change your ways of training them and the Bible verse is perpetual
If a kid offends u tell me and I'll tell you amazing ways to correct the kid.

MaxInDHouse:
God's word says training a child can be compared to building a house or guarding a city! Psalms 127:1-2
Then training them is like when a powerful archer handles a bow with an arrow, to reach the target he needs 100% concentration as in no distractions, then pull the bow with the last of his strength before releasing the arrow, for a certainty the arrow can never miss the desired target, even if it's not 100% the result will be 99.99999999% Psalms 127:3-5

That's what God's word says about training up a child!

Sasuke007:
The world has evolved
but some parents didn't
accept change
follow change and that verse isn't wrong
it's parents of these days that's wrong

Dtruthspeaker:
By that reason since one man somewhere had stolen, it is time to be suspicious of every man of being a thief.

It's all right, it is how you choose to live your life. I prefer The Just Law which says "In the absence of bad faith, good faith must be presumed"

And this is clearly bad faith enquiry as I have seen you undertake.

LordReed:
I don't believe there is a god as depicted in the bible so I don't think it can provide that guidance.

Dtruthspeaker:
See fraud of over stretching. From one verse to "many verses". Kai people can be very unjust!

Dtruthspeaker:
Therefore 2 things
1) The parents did not train or
2) The child refused to be trained.

Thus, the Bible's instruction is based on the reasonable forecast that if you train a child to be a tailor, lawyer, doctor, it is foreseeable that they shall become so.

LordReed:
You are correct.

LordReed:
Reliable guide to what?

myright:
The reason why africa is in a mess is because we don't condemn evil.

MaxInDHouse:
The training must be according to the way God set not how the parent feel:

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Any CHILD trained under this condition will certainly keep it even when bad association comes along he will be the one to influence them and not the other way around! Isaiah 54:17
Then you are saying that Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, moses, David, Samuel and all the prophets did not train their children according to thensure way of God? How come the children of Israel continued to fall into transgression despite such holy fathers?

LordReed:
I think the Bible should be taken as a repository of folklore which serves to impart folk wisdom. These are always going to be generalised bits of wisdom which are never absolutes even if they sound like it.

LordReed:
No they aren't.

myright:
It is bro. I took part in the entrance exam at unizik in 2014, I knew I got more than 95% of the questions correctly only for them to use IM in recruiting people. I personally know someone that got the job due to his connection to Sir Victor Umeh. I also went for the exam conducted at a school along Zik's avenue Awka. I passed it yet no show.... The nepotism is just too much

Ever8090:
I have never been to the airport before, is this one a world class airport or just the normal average stuffs we celebrate here in this part of the glob?..the thing look like a poultry farm building in my eyes...

LordReed:
Fact is we don't live by absolutes. That recommendation is not a guarantee that children will always behave the way their parents taught them, especially now they have far more influences than just their parents teachings.
