You are quite right. Women should be submissive to their husbands. That's The Way The Family And Wealth Grows!
Ephesians 5:21-

SUBMIT YOURSELVES ONE TO ANOTHER because of your reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Saviour of the church, his body. And so wives must submit completely to their husbands just as the church submits itself to Christ. HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVES just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.

How exactly shoUld she submit by accepting that she offended him just because he feels offended? Should she Submit to his tantrums and childish feelingsz

It’s so easy to say a woman should submit. But the scripture says we should submit one to to another and husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church, you cannot love as Christ does loves without submitting your self, Will and ego . Is the OP being loving to his wife by letting his emotions rule their relationship? No!

What is the rubbish there? He clearly did not have a superior argument to his wife’s point. But rather than accept it, he is offended because of his fragile ego.

If you are offended , it is your fault and not that of your wife, especially if she did not say something to deliberately offend you. But you want her to take responsibility for something she did not do, which is to deliberately offend
Or insult you.

You need to ask yourself why you feel offended and take responsibility for your feelings as a Man, rather than blame how your feel on someone else. Especially a woman. Are you sure you are not feeling that way because she spoke an uncomfortable truth? Ego is not very good in relationships , you need to learn to put your ego aside.

If you and your wife are not communicating well it is because you are relating with her as an offender based on your feelings. You need to start relating with her as normal.

You need to snap out of it. Leave tantrums for
Kids.

If you
Must tell her anything, Just tell her that you felt offended that’s why you were not communicating normally with her but you have decided to take responsibility for how you feel rather than blame it on her. Then move on. Don’t let a small issue fester and become a big deal. Good luck .

Kloenboi:
But leaders we elected whom we think they have the capability and the willpower to liberate the country started running away from Nigeria even before it's independence and till this moment they are still running away, they all have their families there, they have beg mansions all over UK and US.

If poor man see small road to better their lives then you people will start discouraging them.
I have not discouraged any one. Rich people don’t Japa. Otedola and Elumelu are not thinking of how to Japa, and both of them became rich on this Nigeria, like many others , including the likes of Portable , so let’s not make it sound like anyone who lives automatically has a better life. There is always a trade off, but many don’t count the costs. A clear example are the many who die in the Mediterranean Sea heading to Europe, or those who have ended up as slaves in Arab countries or families being torn apart by the pressures of Japa…

Anyway, I encourage young people ,especially, to travel and explore the world, but I will never encourage them to run away “Japa” from challenges but to look for opportunities in them, whether within Nigeria or outside.

He said that when you have fully settled wherever you find yourself, you will realize that Nigeria needs you.

Nigeria needs help oga
You are right. That is what he said.

I only paraphrased “realise” to “when their eyes clear”

The truth is that Nigeria needs them , whether they realise it or not.

But I wont argue against the argument that one may have to solve his own problems before he solves that of His country.

But those who are thinking of what they can do for their country or communities, above what their country can do for them , don’t think of “Japa” as in running away, escaping to any and everywhere, without a sense of purpose.

The same white that deceived our fore fathers just to get what they wanted from them as at then are not the ones sacking a Nigerian nurse in the UK just because she was praying for a patient

Same man of God called suleiman that could not rely on God's prayer for his protection and hurriedly jump into a bullet proof car

Do your investigation and research on top ten countries that believe in prayers, God and spirituality and also do another research on ten countries that doesn't give a fuckkk about God, prayers and spirituality you will see that those countries that does not give a fuckkk about God are progressing and developing.
The human mind can be conditioned to believe in what does not exist and the mind will adapt to it..that is exactly what the white men did to our forefathers. But now we this smart generation reject those rubbish


I know stupid people like you will pop up and quote me. Please before any one quote me again ensure your brain power is top notch

Christianity, religion and God is an embarrassing human practice of convincing the mind to ignore common sense, logic, reason and evidence while blindly believing in ancient fairy tales.
It encourages it’s followers to value faith over facts and reality. It makes it’s followers proud instead of being ashamed of their ignorance.
Let’s leave Christianity and religion aside for starters.

1. Are you saying there is no creator? Or source of all creation?

2. If yes, to “1”, do you have proof?

3. If yes to “2”, please share.

Then we can take it from there.

The headline is highly misleading and most likely written to sensationalize his statement.

He neither endorsed Japa syndrome nor encouraged them to leave.

On the contrary, he says that Japa will create opportunities for those left behind to even compete globally. He also added that when the eyes of japa-items clear, they will realise that back home is where they are needed.

Change this irresponsible headline

So simply because the project was not started by your administration it should be completed by your administration?

So even if the project is of no real functional value or economic significance it must be completed simply because it was started?

So even if there are more pressing economic issues , the project must be completed now now, in 2024?

BananaPeel:
Tithing is a commandment and others such as offering,giving to less privileged etc. is a proof of your love for God. Only tithe has a formula and that's the reason a lot of people talk it down.
I know that this thing you are saying is not based on personal study but what your pastors have said.

It has a formula that was under the Law. Believers in Christ are not
Under the law. And if we claim be following the formula, then why are we not
Paying tithe as God clearly laid out in Deuteronomy 14 and 28?

As believers in Christ , we are not our own, that is to say that even what we have is not our own but we are stewards to use as pleasing into the Lord. Now if I decide that 100% of my
Money is available as God wills for me to use, will you still come
And ask me for a tithe ( 10%)? From where.?

Tithe is based on the Law, and any one that I still under the Law is under bondage, for by the Law shall no Man be justified.

Coming from same man who stashed money in safe havens to avoid taxes and investigation!

Anyone can scribble the gibberish he put up there.

From the way Peter talks, one would think he has some outstanding legacy`s on ground which puts him in position to make such composition, but the reverse is the case. Even the present Governor of Anambra attested to the fact that, poverty increased in the state during his administration, and here we have same Peter oinking on what's not!
It is clear you did not read before you wrote your response “ bunkum balderdash”. Don’t let your hatred for one Man translate to a fear and hatred for the obvious truth- assuming the number of FG delegates are as high as they say.

And Whatever you want to say about Peter Obi You can’t say he was wasteful with state resources- especially traveling with an entourage , so the answer to your question is YES, he replicated same as what he preached When He was in government.
Christianity Etc › Re: Will A Sinner Who Pays Tithe Make Heaven? by TheGift: 3:02pm On Dec 03, 2023
jesusjnr2020:
Will A Sinner Who Pays Tithe Make Heaven?

If we go by the teachings of Jesus, he certainly won't make heaven.

Jesus said "unless you repent, you shall likewise perish!" Luke 13:13.

He also said no sinner shall make it into heaven. Matthew 13:41.

So do not deceived by those church leaders who preach tithing above the most important things in the law, such as, repentance of sins, that have made many sinners in the church think that it is more important to pay tithes than to turn away from their sinful ways.

They are blind leaders of the blind just as the Pharisees in the days of Jesus who did the same thing, but Jesus called them the "children of hell" regardless of their paying of tithes because inwardly they were full of iniquity. Matthew 13:15,28

So although paying of tithes is a good thing, if you don't repent of your sins, it cannot save you from hell!

You need to repent of your sins!

God bless.
This question is irrelevant, because contrary to the prevalent false teaching, believers in Christ are not under the Law the PAY tithes, rather they should give freely as they have received freely, each Man should give as He has purposed in His heart. Not under compulsion, but willingly and cheerfully for God loved a cheerful giver.
