If someone asks you this moment if you 're BORN AGAIN what will be your response?.

Whilst some people will give an assuring straight "YES", some will hesitate and some are not even sure...

I urge everyone to read this very revealing piece to the very end even if you have to read one paragraph a day..

If you find it difficult to give a resounding ''YES'' to the question what could possibly be your reason?, Oh wait let me guess! ...you probably felt unsure because of those sinful addictions or secret sins only you and GOD know about...or wait let me take another guess!...you actually thought being born again is the same as living a sinless life so because you still commit sins sometimes then you can't possibly be born again.

THE DEVIL'S MAJOR AIM IS TO MAKE YOU FEEL GUILTY OF SINS AND ALWAYS ACCUSE YOU WITH SEVERAL SINS YOU COMMIT. The books of Jude 1:9 and Revelation 12:10 make it clear that satan is the accuser of believers so he will try at all cost to confuse you to the point that you will begin to doubt if you are born again even after you have accepted Jesus as your saviour.

But guess what; the more sinful or irredeemable you think you are the more interest Jesus has in you even if you believe you have sold your soul to Satan.JESUS SAYS COME (Revelation 22:17).Jesus recognizes the fact that many are heavily laden with sins but he still says come (Matthew 11:28-30).

Now here is where it gets more interesting...also many people who may not give a ''YES'' to the question had at a point in their lives been born again but they gave up their salvation because they find themselves still committing the same sins they were involved in before accepting JESUS and this is why many come out for alter call several times☹️.

The AMAZING twist is that Jesus will never ever reject you because you still commit sins even after you became born again cos he clearly said ''All those the Father gives me will come to me,and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.''John 6:37.So why drive yourself away?,why give up on your salvation when the giver of salvation has not given up on you?

What makes us different as believers in Christ is our willingness to please GOD in all we do and the guilt we feel whenever we fall into sins and most importantly,the grace to go down on our knees and ask for forgiveness in the name of the slain lamb of GOD ''JESUS CHRIST''...just as it is written ''My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One''.1 John 2:1

Finally,the Bible makes it clear that attaining that status of a ''BORN AGAIN'' is not about living a perfect life but it is the AMAZING GIFT OF GRACE FROM GOD as a result of the faith we have in JESUS( Ephesians 2:8 ). You can't overcome sins or any form of addiction on your own no matter how hard you try but if you are truly willing to overcome these sins,all you need do is pray for the help of the holy spirit and you will be surprised that the sin or addiction you think you can't do without will be so hated by you.Believe it or not,if the holy spirit truly dwells in you,it will be difficult for you to enjoy sins (Galatians 5:16).

If you read this piece to this point then it means you are interested in Jesus so if you have never accepted him as your saviour and you want to be born again please read out these words below no matter where you are on planet earth.

''Thank you Jesus Christ for taking away my sins on the cross and saving me from eternal torment in hell. I accept you this moment as my saviour and henceforth,i yield myself to the holy spirit to help me perfect my salvation until i see you in Paradise....AMEN!''

Many people here don't have PVC and 70% of those who have won't vote on the day of election so what is the use of the poll?

We only talk about the ladies. we should talk about men too. We seem to hail them in this part of the world.

Men stop being promiscuous. stop pussy mongering. stop paying heavily for pussy.

We have been talking about ladies for too long. now time to attack the men.

Only foolish men are promiscuous...real men marry more beautiful ladies if they desire.

I hate guys sleeping around or having side chic upandan...if you want to be a real man, marry more ladies the normal way and focus on them.

Dumb Lasisi dat cannot recognize a simple joke.
Is he not a comedian and what Nigerian comedian knows best is body shaming people including those in attendance.
Someone now call him Ugly, he’s now talking like a fool

That is not lasisi...

celebgistz:
A Nigerian woman has shown that she’s not here to play when it comes to her marriage (although she’s not married yet).

Taking to her page to announce the measure she’s take to curb infidelity in her marital home, Nwankwo Ezinne stated that she’d ask her future husband to swear.

Ezinne says she’d ask her husband to swear, with her that whosoever, between the both of them, cheats at any point in their marriage, will die after seven days of cheating.

What do you think about this?

Just Negodu?? And some id1ots still claim that buhari is fighting corruption. These kleptomaniacs just shared $15 million among themselves!! In a country where university students have been at home for months now due to striking lecturers asking for enhanced emoluments, a country where the poor masses are demanding for better minimum wage with the FG claiming there is no money to pay them, a country where millions are going to bed hungry every day, a country that is now known as the world's poverty capital yet a wicked and fraudulent government of Buhari just dashed a couple of loyal vagabonds $15 million dollars!!!!
Some re.tard.ed riffraffs will still come online to point accusing fingers at others for being corrupt!!
Buhari and his band of thieves are committing the worst form of corruption in Nigeria since the death of Abacha, and posterity will forever judge them.

Would you prefer we rather lose over 300m$

Paying $15m to get over $300m is a fair deal.

WORDWORLD:
Is there then a verse that upholds a woman married to two husbands at the same time in the Bible? Such an example may help in making a case for and not against just as with polygamy. (Polygamy by defination, a man married to more than one wife)

There is no specific verse in the Bible against a man marrying more than one wife and there are alot of verses to make examples of men of God married to more than a wife.

And example of such with women married to more than one man at the same time and even being biological brothers?

If you read my recent comments,i did point out that we can say it is not scriptural for a lady to marry more than one man cos there was no reference of such in the bible. However i cant call it a sin in clear terms.

SweetBuns:
She's clearly an girl in her late teens or early twenties saying what she likes due to youthful exuberance. Fear these kind of women.
She's not marrying him, she's marrying his property.
I pray the Mans family wisens up and see this

There is always a reason for marriage. I admire her transparency. They should give her a try.

Forreellinc:
she no even fine sef

How do you judge the outward beauty of a woman?

corpershun:
You can read your bible daily and not understand it...The Ethiopian Eunuch knew the scriptures but needed spiritual interpretation. That’s the case of the guy you quoted.

Now to the matter, I am absolutely thrilled with your points and these shows that there are people who are guided by the Holy Spirit to understand the Bible and not some Pharisee who know the Law word for word but are guided by literal explanations.

You have done well in buttressing the point using Adam and Eve. And like you rightly said Polygamy and other forms of marriage became cultural and out of greed.
When the disciples asked Jesus, in the Law given to Moses it said an eye for an eye...Jesus said such Laws were because of the hardiness of the heart. These can also be said of Polygamy.

The problem with many Christians in today’s world is that they want to infuse their culture into Christianity and justify their fleshy desires.
The disciples were called Christians because there were Christlike, not because they were Jews or Samaritan’s. They lived like Christ.

Now the answer to everything, if Jesus has married would he marry more than one wife or would he partner with John the beloved to marry one woman?
WWJD?

Unfortunately it is you and the quoted that are using human philosophy. I'm even more pissed with the fact that despite my precise reference from the scriptures you still deliberately believe what you want.

The most laughable argument is the reference you made but who are you to decide for GOD what he allows.

Monogamy was the original plan of GOD but because at a time women were becoming widows and some women becoming unmarried at old age, GOD PERMITTED(This is the point many ignorant people keep missing).

Asides from been permitted, we further had scriptures to back up GOD acceptance of it but if people like you and the quoted refuse to calm down to learn, you will always continue to showcase your ignorance to the world.

The argument people give was when Paul ADVISED general overseers to be husband of one wife.

This is another scripture many quote but people also argued that what if a man has more than a wife before he becomes a G.overseer? Is he permitted to DIVORCE HIS EXTRA WIFE? Some also argued that what if a man is not a G.O can he be polygamous? And lastly it has been clearly argued that Paul only gave and advise and never stated it to be a sin if a G.O has more wives....

I weep for this generation who have become so lazy in STUDYING the scriptures and you only read and give your own philosophical understanding.

The most laughable twist is that people like you allow arrogance to prevent you from accepting my argument but in actual fact have concured and will use my point to build your support for polygamy in future discussion.

Do have a pleasant week ahead.

Omudia11:
I can see truly that your sense has been blocked by a lot of nonsense. So that people did and he didn't reprimand nor strike them for that means it is permitted?

It is obvious that you have never read a Bible in your life and just googled those verses but don't worry soon enough you'll be alright.

Just so you know, polygamy in the Bible was cultural and never religious because the Bible made this numerous times that marriage is between a man and a wife and even went further to say that "they two shall become one", it didn't say "they three, or they four or they one-hundred".

We also see this clearly when God specifically made Eve for Adam. He could've made two or ten but he made one. So do you know more than God that repeatedly reiterated that marriage is between a man and a wife?

In later portions of the Bible this is even hammered on but I can't recall those verses now, when I do I'll put them up so please get some common sense.

If I knew you are this mentally shallow I would never have bothered myself responding to you in the first place.

People like you never remember verses to buttress their stands. Just for the purpose of reasonable people reading this... Polygamy WAS PERMITTED and if your brain can't farthom this simple logic then I'm sorry I can't help your case.

I will stop here. Do have a great week ahead.

lalasticlala:
LOL. That's my cousin.

Congrats bro...i knew it was not you cos I have a picture of you in my head Lol! The man holding holding a goat looks old fashioned and I know it can't be you but you will have some resemblance judging from the baby's look.

Congrats once again and I hope my cute son marries your daughter in future Lol!

MrPRevailer:
The Bible is the authority. You might claim knowledge of the scriptures but you need to prove it.
I'm not getting anything twisted. It's plainly written. You are the one attempting to twist scriptures, although you have quoted none.

Hope you see my reference above.

If you are not satisfied go and study the scriptures...i can post several verses that supports polygamy from the bible.

I repeat...I AM AN AUTHORITY IN THE SCRIPTURES meaning I study GOD words and I'm not like the bunch of you folks who follow man made doctrines or have "my pastor said" mentality.

Omudia11:
Where did God permit polygamy in the Bible? Since slavery, murder, incest were also in the Bible should we then conclude that God accepts them?

I understand many of us can be ignorant sometimes but when we start displaying our ignorance with impunity then it becomes worrisome.

If you want to know simply ask in a humble way and I will enlighten you but when you start using sarcasm I may as well ignore you.

Nevertheless, for the sake of the humble people who want to learn here is a verse where GOD gave an instruction about how to act in a polygamous setting.

Exodus 21:10
If a man takes a second wife, he must continue to give his first wife the same amount of food and clothing and the same rights that she had before. 


Tell me it is old testament and I will give you a resonating E-slap.

You asked for one reference but let me give you extra...

Genesis 4:19
Lamech took to himself two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah.

Genesis 26:34

When Esau was forty years old he married Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite;

As i wrote, polygamy was permitted and still permitted by GOD...it is adultery that is forbidden.

I'm not in the league of those who post nonsense without facts to justify them.

As i have maintained...sex outside marriage is a sin and if a man marries 100 Women legitimately and has 100some every night it is his business and no sin is committed.....in like manner I begin to wonder if the reverse is also a sin as we can see in the Zulu and India culture where a woman legitimately marries 2 or more men.

We can only say it is not scriptural because there was no polyandry case in the bible but I will refrain from tagging it a sin.

Omudia11:
Can you post a verse that shows polygamy was accepted by God? Just one?

Omudia11:
Can you imagine? Authority as one of the authors of the Bible or as God himself or what? When it comes to biblical issues nobody gives a fvck who or what you are.
The Bible is explicitly clear on this so keep your "authority" in your pocket.

1StopRudeness:
So anything not written in black and white as "donot" is carry go for you....??

Do u even u understand what is under the canopy of sexual immortality.

This ur grammar "outrightly " you use to justify an action is even funny... So since abortion, pornoography, etc is not outrightly mentioned...We can carry go??

Abortion is murder...pornography is lust of the eyes and flesh.

Polygamy or polyandry is MARRIAGE and my point is clear...polygamy is not a sin but permissible by GOD so if a man can marry many women legitimately I was only wondering if the same should not apply to the female....

It is one thing to argue the absurdity and another to tag it a sin.

That a thing does not sound appropriate does not translate to sin.

MrPRevailer:
The Bible is the authority. You might claim knowledge of the scriptures but you need to prove it.
I'm not getting anything twisted. It's plainly written. You are the one attempting to twist scriptures, although you have quoted none.

If Polygamy or polygyny is acceptable in the bible and polyandry was not condemned out rightly so who are you to give your own interpretation?

MrPRevailer:
Marriage is between a man and a woman....until death
Matthew 19:4

It is strange, christians not knowing basic doctrines of the bibles. (mean no disrespect, its a big concern)

You are getting it twisted. I am an authority in the scriptures so i know what i wrote.

hmmmm


This is quite strange but I can't expressly call it unbiblical cos there was no specific verse against a woman marrying two husbands consentually but I hope it ends well.

MajorJeffery:
How will they be doing ehmm....abi dem go draw time table?

Maybe the guys have crazy fetish for 3some on a woman.

The odd fact is that many ladies indulge in steady 3some outside marriage which is a clear sin but in a case where a woman is legitimately married to two men it then becomes official but I seriously pity the lady cos it May likely tell on her body in a short while.

MORANOCEE:
A Facebook user just shared the story and photos of a South African twins who just got married to one woman in a traditional wedding ceremony. What are your thoughts on this?

This is quite strange but I can't expressly call it unbiblical cos there was no specific verse against a woman marrying two husbands consentually but I hope it ends well.

Even if it has nothing to do with village people they will still attribute it to village people cos of the wickedness of the black man.

punisha:


Things like this make SMH...two fine women , raised properly now reduced to thrash by one confused man's dickk ... if I'm not mistaken Anna is pregnant again (she looked so days back when I saw her)

Soon a third person will enter the picture. With the way kids of nowadays are looking exceptionally beautiful, flavour will surely be guided by his dickk and we'd see what d Marvin abi Marvin girl will come and tell us.

Ndi ara.

Which dick? It's the fame n money.

See crowd.

Atiku right now..

Orisirisi!

Second year anniversary of dating. .

Made up chats.

Hmmmmmmm!

This life.

Indeed.

Macnnoli4:
Why do some men like finding justification for having more than one woman in their life

Only foolish men try to justify their actions. If i decide to marry 100 wives today i owe nobody an explanation except GOD and since its no sin against GOD, any woman who can't cope can leave.

Ikeboboafri:
Onyeka Nwelue, a Nigerian born international writer in a new post stated that monogamy is a sham as the private part is not meant for one person. 

The post by Onyeka Nwelue which has been subjected to criticism and support, reads;
