ATTACK ALERT. Mehn, someone threatened me this night over this Nairaland Post!!!
I am even suprised i still saw my account here this morning.
It read: NAIRALAND ACCOUNT DEACTIVATED. I will expantiate

HananHezron:
PLEASE, BEFORE THIS [i]"COVERING"[/i]ISSUE BECOMES A NATIONAL DEBATE HERE,
I WAS JUST NARRATING A PERSONAL TESTIMONY!!!!
IF SOMEONE FEELS BLESSED, PRAISE THE LORD.
IF YOU WANT TO START AN ARGUING/QUARRELLING COMPETITION, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.
I REPEAT, IT IS A TESTIMONY REGARDING THE STAGES OF MY WALK WITH THE LORD.
I can't wait to read from others' experiences. Please send your testimonies. No testimony is "too small"
Someone is waiting for your testimony to make his/her day.

HananHezron:
Just like attachments and jewelries, the same goes for hair coverings.

You'll not see me debating over headties and such cos i've learnt to rely on the Spirit when it comes to what i do not understand and He has always advised me to walk on His pace. And i do not force my convictions on pple's throats.

It's amazing how an ordinary piece of cloth can have such a huge effect in the Spirit realm.

Permit me testify on that:

At the beginning of my christian walk, i hated anything that touched my head. I didn't hate headscarves, i LOATHED them. Literally. With all my energy, i hated these coverings. Plus, i thought they made me look stupid and they made my head itch!!! In my local assembly, it was a MUST to have your hair covered during worship.
I couldn't wait to take the nonsense (chai lol) off at the end of every Sunday service or Bible class. It was such a relief!!!
At one point, i wore the same bandana (i opted for bandanas cos they were like handkerchiefs) for a whole year or maybe two ! Yes, it was that bad. Because i didn't stand the idea of having another "covering" in my possesion.

It went on like this for a couple of years; Finally i was left alone to do what i wanted with my head. No problem in my faith whatsoever and i was like[i] "abeg why were these people even disturbing me with this? As long as God answers my prayers"[/i]. God Himself never told me anything about it, not a peep. Nothing. I carried on with my life and i had become terribly lukewarm. At one point i even backslided due to a couple of things which shocked my faith and made me question God.
When i decided to rededicate myself two-three years later, certain things began to change by themselves. At one point, when i would see Fulani, Arab and indian women pass by me, for some reason i would turn and stare and stare. It was the same even with some daughters of the Lord. Before that, i never gave a hoot. I even found it ridiculous and imprisoning. I don't know what made me stare at them like that.

I was staring at myself in front of the mirror (don't remember why) one day and for some reason i turned and looked at my bed. A little bed sheet that was coincidentally folded there (who even folded it there sef?) was also[i] "staring" [/i]at me That's the impression i got ...

i went up to my bed, picked it up, unfolded it and put it on top of my head. It even covered half of my body.

IMMEDIATELY, i felt something come down gently on me. It envelopped me and it felt so warm. Mind you, that bedsheet was COLD, i don't know where the warmth came from. It was so reassuring. i went to the mirror to see what it was and wow i saw the most beautiful version of myself. I opened my eyes wide and said "Na so i fine like this?". I just stood there staring at myself until that warm sensation left, but the feeling of peace remained . And my face became "normal" again

Eiii, now i dey tie hair o. It's a must during private time. During public worship, it's optional. Sometimes i do, sometimes i don't. I'm glad God gave me this option. No option during private worship time, especially when it comes to warfare. YOU COVER THAT HAIR!!! If i had to cover hair all the , i don't think i would have survived. But i think i'm gradually getting there....
When i sleep at night i pull the bedsheet over my head. I have really large bedsheets and it suits me just fine. I feel "guarded" somehow, like angels by your side picking your prayers and flying up to God to deposit them.

Oh yes, no more itch on my head

BUT I LOOOOVE trousers though....

Chai, see epistle on top bedsheet

Generals03:
Brethren I need a brief exposition on 2 issues.

1. Gal 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Galatians, etc.

How can a christain expel completely/deal with all or any of these works of the flesh still manisfested in his/her life? Are there in all cases (or only some?) spirits behind these habits that should be dealt with?

I believe the goal of every believer is to be spotless and free of blemishes both in charater, thought and words.

2. What are your views on this issue of using attachments, jewelries, make up, etc by christain ladies as regard requirements for excelling in spiritual warfare and making heaven.
Thanks and God bless.

Good morning Brethren,
I had this dream last night, after a long supplication to God through our Lord Jesus Christ. I ended the prayer by asking God to bless me, give me a retentive memory of my dreams and also turn my story to glory, after reading John 2, where he turned water to wine. It's a popular one but whatever took me there, as i read it, my spirit asked me to pray with it. I'm making mention of my prayer last night, just so you know if it's connected to my dream.

I don't usually remember anything of my dream but, from the little I can remember of this,
I don't take alcohol, but in my dream i found myself in a shop taking Guinness stout ( a bit sweet), in it there was a candle wax I almost swallowed, yet I could not stop but finished the Stout, even though I was not enjoying it. I wake as I was done drinking. I didn't find funny.

Prayed in fervently anger and rebuked the spirit that caused me to drink.

I went back to bed, had another dream that involved money, I need an explanation, I don't want it to affect my finance physically.

I was in my village and wanted to leave for Lagos with a cousin, at the park, we found a luxury bus, paid the conductor or whoever he was that was collecting money and convinced/confused us that, the bus was almost filled.
My cousin bought snacks for us, as I was about to take it, I remembered still in the dream that I ate in the dream (the stout I took) while I was not supposed to, so I declined taking the snacks. (I'm still confuse how it worked out that way)
After about 3 hrs waiting for the bus to take off, I entered the bus and to my annoyance, only few people were in the bus sleeping. I confronted the conductor, who apologized and told me that the bus will leave by 12pm. I let him know, it wasn't funny, we shall have to postpone our journey till tomorrow and asked him for a refund of our money, he refused but eventually did when we threatened to fight him. (we actually fought him, he surrendered).
Others things happened, but I can't remember.

My physical money safe? Though I'm not scared, gone are the days when devil make me fret.

CharlyG1, Goodmuyis, nnamdiosu, HananHezron Vooks, etc. I appreciate you guys. i have learned a lot from this thread. God bless you.

Where are Ana09 and Oyeludef when they are needed? Preach the Holy Ghost to me, I love reading ur posts and you've made me love The Holy Ghost the more.

God Bless you all.
Hope to meet you some day.

Anas09:
No, it doesn't give me any discomfort. Just a faint ticking. And, yes, sometimes I don't feel it. But it's almost like a permanent thing

sunnypastic:
if 3.25:5 the
Q:4
therefore Q=3.25x4/5=2.6
Q=2.6

So 2.6 is the equivalent on a 4 point grade

Anas09:
Guys, I have this tingling in the middle of my left palm steadily. Like it doesn't stop. Sometimes it's itchy, and other times, like ticking. Sometimes like a very faint electric shock. It's always there. It's here right now.
Bro Charles, what could this mean?
Where's my brother Superior1?
Bro Oyeludef.
Nnamdiosu.

calfavour:
I really doubt that out come. I hope S/he keyed in grades and units probably. Cos a CGPA of 3.51 came out as 3.2. ...now 3.25 coming to 3.21.
I Stand to be corrected.

HananHezron:
I hate spiritual warfare. Does anybody feel the same here?

The level of ugliness and fright i get to encounter when i engage in this type of warfare no get part two;

But when i pray in tongues, ah la la. You don't just want to leave God's Presence. Everything just "brightens" up


I always shy away from warfare prayer; Yes, i know, it's necessary, but i mean, when you experience God's soothing sweet presence, believe me, battling ugly principalities is the last thing you want to do;

Anybody feels this way sometimes? How do you handle it?

nastydamus:
Hi everyone,

Been following this thread, although from the shadows. Wanted to write the GRE this month but couldn't get a slot anywhere in PH so I had to travel to Lagos to write on the 13th.

Got to the JKK building quite early and then the wait and anxiety started; can't say why but I was feeling uneasy about the test, not like it was going to be my first or last exam in this life sef.

Anyway, as we joined the queue to be screened before commencing the test, the people that were screened first had already started typing away. I got to my computer and started typing too (#50k no be play o, plus transport fare and hotel bills). After the AWA section (which looked rather fair to me), I got down to the first verbal; it must have been the experimental part because boy, was that section harrrrrd (ets should try to leave that type for last na).

It sort of destabilized me but I soldiered on o (again, #50k + siblings), 'attacking' the quantitative section that followed and the others after that. Altogether, it was quite an experience sha. After everything: V: 157, Q 164, AWA: 4.5 (I expected more in the AWA but well...).

Very helpful were the Official ETS guide (for AWA, V & Q), Memrize App (for vocab building), the Magoosh Videos (regular and premium) and also Powerprep and Manhattan Six online Tests (to simulate the actual test in terms of timing and, to an extent, difficulty).

There you have it friends...my hustle only just started as I'm looking at UIUC, CMU and PU (God dey o). Thanks to all contributors on this thread, every single one of you.

HananHezron:
At last, i finally succeeded in placing my comment here.
Good afternoon to you all. I got hooked on this thread since the beginning of the week and I'M HYPNOTIZED; The teachings, testimonies, experiences are more than awesome. I just can't get away from here, my beloveds in Christ.

Charly G1, Analice, Oyeludef, the unchangeable VOOKS, nnamdi osu, Fischer 77 and the rest, STANDING OVATION to you all. The blessings contained in Deuteronomy 28 are all yours and to your generations yet unborn.

I feel like crying in worship. For the FIRST time, i feel nothing is wrong with me. Finally, people who look like me and have gone thru similar things just like me... Why do i say so?

I've always had what you call premonition dreams; I would dream on something and it will happen. Most of them come in the form of warnings (of impending danger or death) though. But i never really told anyone for fear of being accused of having a spirit of divination. Seeing dramatic deliverance sessions didn't help matters because they frightened me a lot.

PRAISE THE LORD. I JUST FEEL LIKE HUGGING EVERYONE. Mehn i want to cry already. What a joy!

Most of the experiences i read here here, i have encountered:

-Angels of the Lord rebuking me for certain attitudes and telling me my behaviour somehow penalizing them from doing their job properly (i;e guarding me when i sleep;
-Night attacks and frightful creatures and seeing one blinding light sorrounding me
-Rape in the dream (yes and it's terrorizing). I've even seen children as young as five being raped in my dreams
-Swimming in dreams with strange people, fighting violently with unknown people;being pressed in my sleep.
-Seeing Jesus himself carrying Cross and then stopping to look at me with his face full of blood and smile reassuringly (very beautiful smile by the way)
-Physically seeing air (for about a few seconds) concentrating in one place to form the shape of an "airy" hand showing me an object i should do away with , being a child of God now .
-Few months ago i got kicked in the dream and i fell physically from the bed to the floor. I screamed and everyone rushed to see what the problem was. Of course, i said i had a leg cramp. Who would have believed me if i said someone actually kicked me?
A week ago as i was anointing my window panes in prayer, i actually saw BLOOD, yes the water turned to BLOOD,droplets of blood, it wasn't physical, but i somehow "saw" it. Call me crazy but i know what i saw...

These are some of the things i kept to myself till now, for fear of being ridiculed.

BUT:
Somehow , for some weeks now, God has put in my heart that he wants us (HE and I) to go deep, to return to the ancient paths, raw undiluted walk with the Lord as of old, no "cheap Grace" trends you see nowadays. Like He's saying[i] "I want you to worship from the deep, let's go real deep in my Word and in My ways". While it is quite uncomfortable, it has strengthened me inwardly.

And about two days ago i had a dream, abeg o, my big brothers and sisters in the Lord, analice, CharlyG1, nnamdi, explain this well to me:

I found myself in a desolate, war-torn country looking like Liberia. Liberian brethren no offense, i'm begging you i'm only describing what i saw. Houses were burnt,but curiously, there was no smoke anywhere, no one in sight. No sound of guns. The place was FRIGHTFULLY quiet.

I walked closer and someone was walking by my side, gisting me and encouraging me in a conversational tone to move closer. Funny enough, i wasn't scared; There was a form near me, but i could not see his face but only hear its voice. I entered one of the burnt houses. These houses did not smell of smoke. They smelled of poop. Yes, burnt houses with shit smell coming out of them

Entered the rooms, dead bodies everywhere and they were not even burnt. Fecal matter was everywhere!!! On the walls, on the ground, everywhere!!!!

I heard a baby crying. Rushed and found a crying baby girl inside a toilet covered with shit. The "person" from the beginning was still near me, encouraging me to pick up that baby and clean it up, which i did and i dressed it up. Now i was moving about with that baby in my arms.

At one point there was a exploding sound, i think. I began to run still carrying that baby and that "person" suggested "Let's take a taxi". A taxi popped from nowhere and i asked "How do u get away from here?" The taxi driver just smiled and answered "Oh yes, there is a place over there, at the borders, called clearance; reach there and you will be safe". And the taxi took off and left us there standing.

What is "Clearance" by the way? Back to my dream

From nowhere, i saw a white bus, like a UN security bus in font of me, the doors were opened and people inside were urging me to get in saying "We have finished, get in". I hesitated. They insisted "Get in, we have finished, we are leaving"

As i was entering the bus, two lovely looking, modestly dressed women came to me and thanked me for taking care of "their baby" and requested that i should hand the baby over to them. I clutched the baby. They begged and begged, saying the baby will be fine, that i had done a good job and it was now their turn to take over since i was leaving; I still hesitated. The other bus passagers were insisting "We are leaving, get in!" I finally handed over the baby to the two ladies who thanked me once again and told me not to worry.

Once i sat inside the bus, behold, that "person" who was always by my side was nowhere to be found.

Brothers and sisters, i kid you not, THAT BUS BEGAN TO LIFT ITSELF FROM THE GROUND, like aircraft. The houses were getting smaller and i could see the clouds.

But something strange happened. I put my hand in my pocket and out came a picture. I never put it there. Don't know where it came from. It was the picture of another child looking at me sadly.
And i woke up.

Any meaning to this dream
Bro Charles, Annalice, nnamdi....ova to you.

I have the strong feeling God wants to take me somewhere, but where

God bless tremendously all those contributing to this thread. Keep the fire alive!!!!

essayHelp:
- Go to thegradcafe survey results page and search for your school and department. On the comments column, note the number of students with funding.

- Go to the Edulix forum and read up on all the posts on 'the school specific' thread for your school. Also, read the results thread, from 2012 to present, for your department and note the proportion of students indicating funding offers.

- Join the MS in US groups for Fall 2015 and 2016 on Facebook. Search the groups with a query that contains your school and department (remember to use the common acronyms associated with them, too). Note the number of incoming students with funding offers.

- You can also mail students already in the department to inquire about funding. Please do not ask them if there is funding in the department -- that is too generic. Try to ask for the specific number of students in their cohort who are funded through assistantships (and probably the number that obtained funding after the first/second semester).

Kaydeexotic:
thanks so much for your words of encouragement bro...each time I fall back into sin...the next thing I hear is a voice that says..'kindly look around you son, the enemy is never far from you,......and the next minute...my mind goes to my girlfriend straight up...tho once in a while I feel my stepmum is fetish but something tells me she has no power over me.....but once I think of my girlfriend..I have a feeling she's having a spiritually negative influence on my life....
the confusing part is that not less than 5 people have told me not to leave the girl that I should hold on to her

ihaveaquestion:
LOL sorry temi4fash, I was born and raised in France, my English is not as good as yours guys.
I will try my best not to run after him. My God, "humorous partnership" is just what describes us the best.
A thousand thanks for your good advice.
Have a great evening

temi4fash:
Let me expalin better

Lol.. scared of what

Which efforts are you talking about?

Am saying you dont need make personal efforts out of the ordinary because of what you read here and go all out after him.

Hurdles with him as regards your coming together permanently or temporary whatever it is. Your humorous partnership with benefit both of you.

Well, Everyone needs to pray so me saying you need to pray re-validate and ensure you pray about it.

Sefini.

I hope you understand

oskaroni:
Thanks sir, although I am fully aware of the prophetic gifts, i just didn't know how it operates, i will pray those prayer points.

nnamdiosu:
Wow... Such a honor for a small boy like me. Thank you sir. You've made my weekend. How u dey na?

ihaveaquestion:
Hi all,

Thanks a lot for your answer, dear temi4fash.
Do you think my efforts with him are in vain?
Hurdles with him or in my life in general? Im very scared now
Im not married yet I will pray more.

Many thanks for your time. God bless you.

nnamdiosu:
Hmmmm. The dream normally points out that there's a great portion of your destiny that is linked towards this individual. Something that suggests a permanent relationship. Nevertheless just pray more for understanding. But the part I love most is where you said you guys were illuminated against a dark background. That shows divine arrangement . MEVERTHELESS DONT START TRYING TO HELP THE DREAM MANIFEST BY YOUR SELF. DONT START SUGGESTING OR CALLING THE BROTHER UNNECESSARILY. JUST LEAVE IT FOR GOD. HE WILL JOIN OR BRING THINGS IN HIS OWN TIME. GOD BLESS YOU.
ARE YOU ABOVE 30 years? I have a reason for asking

oskaroni:
I have been following this thread for a very long time, nd i learn a lot here, however I need answers to these following experiences from my sleep, i am a xtian,

1. I find myself speaking in tongues from my sleep, d spirit holds me for few seconds(not up to 10) seconds,with my body vibrating then i wake up, sometimes with headaches, sometimes dz leads to dreams, especially prophetic dreams.


2. Sometimes I feel electric charges all over me when m asleep, at times accompanied with speaking of tongues

3. Sometimes I feel like I'm floating while asleep/ someone is moving me around the room

4. At times i feel my spirit leaving my body, d last time dz happened i had to command d spirit back into the body, my eyes were opened (a rare thing) and i saw my legs floating trying to leave my body, as i commanded it back i woke up

Sirs and ma, your help is needed as i need to know wats happening with me

ihaveaquestion:
Many thanks for taking the time to answer.
No, we are not married. We are friends. The relation is weird. At the beginning we were kind of flirting. Then, when he went back home (in another city), he has met many girls. As a result, we are just friends. I have not seen him for two years. We just discuss every week by text messages. I am attached to him but I do not know what he really thinks about me. headache story...

ihaveaquestion:
Hi everyone, can someone help me interpreting this dream, please?

I dreamt about me having a beautiful newborn baby girl. My friend helped me climb some cramped stairs. Then we sat, he took my baby in his arms, acted like her father. Finally, we looked at each other and we smiled at each other... but like lovers. I felt ecstatic and woke up immediately even if I wanted to see more. In the dream, I remember the environment was dark but the 3 of us were kind of illuminated. Also, my friend looked a bit older and he was wearing clothes I have never seen on him before.


Thanks a lot.

Hello men and women of God. I hope you are having a great day, Does anyone have an idea of a great place to have a personal retreat without distractions at a reasonable cost? ... Thx

OluDare01:
Gunther6 na sure man.
I can boldly say his head is valid
All the best in your exam

Talk2nanro:
lol this has nothing to do with sex or marine spirit or sexual partner. And this dream has no definite answer because being pregnant in the physical means having a baby who could be good when trained properly and bad when pampered .my meaning is you could be pregnant with good ideas/things , success, bad things/ideas that is yet to manifest in the waking life, you should search yourself properly

sonofthunder:
you are not entirely wrong but not entirely right either. the level of details provided makes it difficult to fully ascertain the case here.
