I want to believe these SARS are doing a very wonderful job.. If you don't want anyone to harass you please dress responsibly, barb your hair skin like a responsible Nigerian, do away from tatoos and blings , don't wear earrings when you're not a woman .. Talk like an educated someone and trust me nobody will harass you. Infact they'll respect you.. As an elder and respected chief, I'm talking from experience.

PassingShot:
So the decampees who decamp at will for personal interests are the ones who care about the masses?

Akamu brain everywhere.

resurgent2019:
See politicians relating with themselves without any form of bigotry or hatred? So why do Nigerians kill themselves because of their differences

Tribalism, ethnic and religious bias, and nativism is for the poor and I enlightened soul!!!!

See big men chopping life?

nairalandic:
this is mtn first apple store in nigeria

delkuf:
thank you for this. I met someone recently, and our discussion led to decide that in Nigeria, it is only God that can save us. so I have decided that I may not cast my vote in next year election. we put out trust in this people and they have fail us, so it is time to put our trust in God. so am not believing in the change of any man, only the change of God

delkuf:
it would be stupid of me to leave my door open. you dont try or test God. But for me, God's protection is enough for me.

delkuf:
so it your duty to protect yourself. if God should remove His of protection on life, do you have the power to secure your life for one minute. please mind you say. there is power in the tongue

JesusSonOfGod:
You pray for them to be saved. When they are saved, you will see the best in them.

What's the difference? I sell in the church yard vs I advertise in the same yard?

It's all business. Can't you go and advertise on radio or some other platform?

If a pastor writes a book, he should sell it outside the church. If he runs a school, he should advertise it on radio, not in Church. If he so wants his members to patronize his school, he should go to their houses and speak of it, not in Church.

alBHAGDADI:
It's not a must to have a bulletin. If it will make the church disobey God, then away with it.

btw, all what you listed above are still advertisement for businesses.

Hello everyone,

Today I will be speaking on why Jesus is flogging your Church instead of blessing it. I know someone will be quick to say the Church he attends is not getting flogged because it is blessed materially. He might be quick to point to the fact that his church is fully air-conditioned, has a beautiful stage with purple lightenings and the members flood the parking space with cars. That's not the kind of blessing I'm talking about.

Many Churches are spiritually dead, but have ascribed material possession to mean they are alive. A Church which can't perform miracles, which doesn't go soulwinning, doesn't care for homeless people is not blessed but is getting flogged by Jesus. There are certain things such a Church could be doing wrong for them to be dead spiritually. Today, I will be speaking on one of them. Let's start by reading the passage below.


John 2:13-16

13 Now the Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business. 15 When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. 16 And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!”

Why do you think Jesus flogged those in the temple in Jerusalem? Because they sold items in the temple thereby turning it into a market place. That is exactly what many Churches have beceom today. At the entrance or at one corner of churches today, you will find a table which showcases books, CDs, anointing oil, stickers etc being sold. You can even find a restaurant or a kiosk around where donut and drinks are sold. All of that is turning the house of God into a market place.

You might be quick to say there is nothing bad about that because it is just food sold in case members go hungry. Also, the CDs and books contain messages of great pastors like Kenneth Hagin, Joyce Meyers, Joel Osteen, E.A Adeboye, Bishop Oyedepo etc; you say they pertain to the word of God. You might be smart to say those Jesus Christ was angry at for selling at the temple in Jerusalem was because they sold things like doves, oxen, sheep, and not things like books. You might also be quick to say those sheep, oxen and doves have nothing to do with God, but books and CDs containing messages of great pastors have a lot to do with God.

Have you ever asked why those people decided to go sell sheep, oxen and doves at the temple when it is not a pet store or a farm? They took those things there because people needed them for the things of God. Back then, when you want to pay your tithe with farm produce but the produce are too big to carry from your own City to Jerusalem, it is allowed to sell the produce then go to Jerusalem with the money. When you get to Jerusalem, you can now use the money to buy anything ranging from sheep, oxen, dove, wheat etc which you can now drop at the temple. That's why those business men moved their wares closer to the temple so as to be closer to customers (sharp guys).

Can you now see that just as your CDs, anointing oil and books have something to do with God, the sheep and oxen also do? They also have another thing in common: they are being sold in the house of God. That's when Jesus Christ comes in with a whip because you all have angered Him and turned His Father's house into a market place.

It's even worse in today's Churches because the pamphlet or bulletin printed for the day's sermon also includes adverts of businesses in the local community. What we should expect next: billboards and posters hanging all over the walls in a Church advertising soft drinks and other products.

You might build the biggest cathedral, but a little disobedience can be dangerous for the congregation. Instead of getting blessed spiritually such that people see vision, dream dreams, speaking in a foreign language and perform miracles, they are getting flogged and blinded away from the truth. May God help us all.

Madison after death and long overdue confession

maximunimpact:
No single scripture to support your opinion, how are non-Christians suppose to believe you? The bible is not complicated, only when humans want to be mischievous they try to mystify the word of God. Jesus and his apostles, even early Christians were neutral in world politics until apostasy came in.
