The many troubles of Tobi
"I tire, I tire" Tobi muttered these words gently, as he shut his room door slowly behind him.
Walking sluggishly to the kitchen, he flung his brown envelope carelessly to the floor while he roughly took off his neck tie.
Upon getting to the kitchen, he realised that the little garri he had left, had been soaked with palm oil.
He walked back to the room sorrowfully and fell face-ward on his bed.
A drop of tear rolled out of his eyes and fell on his cheeks. The thought of the onslaught hunger was about bringing his way caused him to start wailing.
He came off bed, took the position of a fetus and laid on the bare, cold floor.
He wrapped his left arm around his stomach while he held his mouth with his right hand. This, he did to prevent his neighbours from listening to his bitter, loud cries.
While Tobi wailed, he took breaks to lament his pains to the God he has always believed in.
In his first lamentation, Tobi said, "I am smart and I am hardworking with nothing to show for. look at Ali, just three months into bombing, Ali is now a big boy. Lord, don't you care if I perish? Don't you care if I go to hell? Even my earthly dad won't tempt me this much before helping me"
He wailed yet again and took another break for his second lamentation, "Lord, you were there when my fiance, Kemi, looked at me dead in the eye and scornfully said, 'good boys are poor boys'... Lord, you were there"
He began to wail bitterly again. This time, he laid on his back, facing the ceiling with his hands on his head. Veins were noticeably visible, even in the dark.
Suddenly, a vision opened up before him and he screamed, "not again Lord, I'm tired of all these visions".
In a desperate attempt to scuttle this vision, he shut his eyes as tight as he could, but this vision transcended his eyes as it went on in his mind's eye.
In this vision, he saw himself in soldier khaki leading a group of men, also in khaki. The only weapon they had was a book he presumed to be the scriptures of his God.
Upon seeing this vision, in pains he mumbled, "Lord, I've failed so much, please give this vision to Emeka, he has everything going on fine"
Suddenly, a chilly-wind blew softly through the window, west of his room. This wind gave him so many goose bumps that he decided to open his eyes and shut the window.
Upon opening his eyes, He saw a being standing by his reading table, eastward of his room.
This being had the shape of a human but with no visible human attribute as it was all light.
Like torrents of lightning, fear ran through his blood stream and the being said ….

First and foremost, I'd like to give a big shout out to brightfuture24... A wonderful soul she is! Bless her
I'd be writing a very relatable story about Tobi; a young, struggling man of faith, who is at the verge of giving up on the God he has always loved and believed in.
Would he give up? Read on to find out...

TeddyX: I’m glad you made the right decision. Many of them will be shocked when the time comes. But it is my prayer that they realise the deception in the Catholic church before it is too late. That is why the bible says “My people perish for lack of knowledge” Hosea 4:6.
When you spoke about the CCD bearing the all seeing eye symbol, I remembered an important question someone asked a priest. He asked “Why is there an all-seeing eye symbol in the stained-glass window of a Catholic parish in my hometown?” The priest answered “ Contrary to what many people think, the all-seeing eye in Christian art is not a Masonic symbol but represents the all-seeing eye of the omnipotent God, who sees all things. When surrounded by a triangle, it symbolizes the Trinity.“ Now, do you see the lies? Satan is the father of lies, so are his children.
God bless you. Goodness! Such a weak defence from the priest It's well |
Christianity Etc › Re: Cultism, The Spiritual Consequences And Deliverance Through Christ by tomtween1(m): 10:56am On Oct 09, 2021 |
TeddyX: We are entitled to our opinions but I agree with everything you said about the Catholic Church. I would like to discuss a few things concerning the Catholic doctrines and then share a dream encounter I had two nights ago. Please if you are a Catholic reading this don’t feel offended. God loves you and he doesn’t want you to perish.
If you still pray the rosary with other prayers associated with it, know it that you are in the danger of hell fire. Do you know that anytime you pray the rosary, recite the litany of Mary, pray to the saints, through meditation, you invoke evil spirits into your life? Don’t you see the similarities between Catholic and Muslim prayer beads? Mary was just a normal human being who found favour with God to be the mother of Jesus just like Elizabeth who was the mother of John the Baptist. According to the Catholics, Mary was without sin but she said “My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.”Luke 1:46-47. If she was without sin, she would not have needed a Saviour. Jesus Christ was the only person without sin.
You don’t need to offer prayers to Mary, angels of heaven and the dead saints. Do not keep or bow to the statues of Mary, Jesus, Angels and saints in the church or homes. This is pure idol worship in the eyes of the Lord. The bible says ““You shall not make for yourself any idol, or any likeness (form, manifestation) of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth [as an object to worship].” Exodus 20:4.
We have Jesus the Christ who is our mediator and the only way to God the father. The bible says “For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus,” 1 Timothy 2:5. You don’t need Mary to pray & intercede for you.
Catholics pray to Mary saying “Pray for us, o holy mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ”. So without the prayers of Mary, you can’t be found worthy of the promises of God? Do you see the lies? Jesus Christ died for you & I to redeem us & make us worthy to boldly enter into God’s presence by his blood that has cleansed and sanctified us. As sons and daughters of God, we can enter into his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praises. In his presence, we worship him in spirit and truth and ask for whatever we need in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The bible says “Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment].” Hebrews 4:16. The condition is to believe and receive Jesus to be given the power to become a child of God, seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness to open the door to all other needs in this world.
What does the bible speak about calling the Catholic priests Reverend Father. It is written, “Do not call anyone on earth [who guides you spiritually] your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9. In a confessional when Catholics go to the priests to confess their sins, they say “Father forgive me for I have sinned”. After the sins are confessed, the priest says a prayer of absolution which ends with “….i absolve you from your sins….” We can see here that the priests have taken the place of God the Father as Father and as one who absolves people of their sins which isn’t in line with God’s word. The book of John 20:23 has been poorly misinterpreted by the Catholic Church. “Whoever’s sins you forgive, they are forgiven. Whoever sins you retain, they have been retained”. It means those who have offended us, we are meant to forgive them so that our Father in heaven will forgive us our sins. It was clearly stated in our Lord’s payer. It is only God the Father that absolves people from their sins. If you run to the priest to confess your sins and expect him to forgive you instead of making peace with the person you offended, you only wasted of time.
Why does the Catholic Church forbid priests from getting married and why is there a time to abstain from meat on Ash Wednesday? This is what the bible says concerning this doctrine, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.”1 Timothy 4:1-3.
So we don’t need to communicate with the late saints to intercede for us. Jesus & the apostles didn’t teach us to pray to them. There’s no difference between you & someone who practises necromancy, which is the act of communicating with the dead. Catholics recite the litany of the blessed Virgin Mary in which they call Mary, the ark of the covenant, queen of heaven, gate of heaven, refuge of sinners, morning star, queen conceived without original sin, just to name a few. Is this what our Lord Jesus Christ and the apostles preached to the church? Do you see the deception?
There’s a catholic priest who used to visit my family once in a month to teach & pray for us. According to him, he said God told him to build a shrine for the statue of Mary and infant Jesus in his home where people can visit and pray to these idols. He told us to always pray to infant Jesus. Then he said that Mary is the greatest intercessor. He’d always carry the statue of infant Jesus in his bag to anywhere he goes. He said anytime catholics pray the rosary, it attracts the spirit of Mary to receive and deliver their prayers. Some people said he sees in the spirit and performs miracles. Only God knows the spiritual powers he wields to perform. You can now see for yourselves the false doctrines of demons.
When God opened my eyes to the knowledge of the truth, i felt convicted and decided to never pray the rosary in my life. I also started receiving personal revelations from God concerning the Catholic church. Below is just one of the dream encounters with the Catholic priests I had two nights ago as regards the rosary.
In the dream, i saw the same Catholic priest. He heard I no longer pray the rosary. I suspected it was my mum that told him since she was the closest to him. So he quickly came to our family house to see me and asked me to give him my reasons. With boldness and anger in my spirit, I told him to repent as soon as possible before it was too late. Then I told him to sit down and I began to admonish him. He was really shocked.
My brothers and sisters I understand how difficult it may be to stop something you’ve been practising since childhood because i too come from a Catholic background. But you must understand that these doctrines must be examined under the light of the word of God. If it doesn’t align with what God says in his word, please do away with it before it is too late. Satan and his demons are perverting the church with false doctrines to send many souls into the pit of hell. The rosary & prayers associated with it are made to fallen angels and demons posing as the idols in your heart. The bibles says ““And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15.
You have heard about the Catholic-Muslim interfaith council created by Pope Francis in 2019 announced new Chris-lam headquarters in UAE to open in 2022. You know what’s coming.
The choice is yours to make. “He that has ears to hear let him hear”.
God bless you all. You are very correct sir I was so in love with the Catholic religion that I almost became a priest but my people seriously discouraged me since I was an Okpara. During our cathecism classes those days, there's this book we used then called the CCD. In this CCD, there are pictures of a big one eye looking down on children. This one eye thing has always been there but we just didn't recognise it earlier. In fact, the interpretation I gave it with my little mind then was that, the eye was the eye of God looking down on his creation. The religion is so complex that's why we had to be indoctrinated about the religion while we were still children, just like people from the other faith do. We were actually taught church history and how to defend the church and her doctrines. It was in 2019 that everything about the religion stopped making sense. I go to church and when others kneel during benediction, I just sit, I stopped attending church activities and I just knew, this religion isn't for me. Till today, my parents and siblings are still catholics though my siblings are slowly drifting. |

Praaaaaise the lord!!!
It all started here so I am going to give my testimony here also. All you'd read are true and nothing but the truth and this testimony is to glorify God for His goodness and mercy.
Weeks ago, I was totally confused and I had a dream which I posted here and my dream was interpreted by the Op. I decided to send him a pm which he responded to.
I narrated all my ordeals and all the sad events going on in my life about not having a job, not getting things right and how that things aren't just working. He asked if I've asked God for directions, he led me in some direction seeking prayers (gave me prayer points) with fasting. He promised to join me in the prayers (a beautiful heart he has)...
On the second day, I had a dream which was clear and gave me directions. I told him and he said the dream was clear and truely, 2 days later, the dream played out before my very eyes. Someone called me to please teach both himself and his younger brother a skill I have learnt; and this was what I dreamt about. I was super happy.
I had also told him about how my corper khaki uniform went missing for over 3 years and how I have been searching for it all these years. Mysteriously, this uniform disappeared from our room where I kept it. Whenever I get angry and I am in town, I just go and search for it but I never realized that physical anger doesn't solve spiritual problems. Both my siblings and parents have searched and searched for years too but couldn't find it. My parents took it serious after a minister told them that that missing khaki is a stumbling block to my progress in life.
After I narrated this to op via his mail, he led me through additional prayers while he also prayed for me on his own. After 2 days, my mum first called and my dad later called both excited that they've found my corper khaki clothes complete set. They said it is well iron, arranged and packaged. In my dad's words," it wasn't even hidden, who said God does not exist"
This is a big deal to both myself and family members and indeed this is the hand of God at work. It could have been found in a very tight corner and I'll say maybe I've not been searching well but in this case, it was in the open so that I'll know that angels put them there. I'm genuinely happy. Like I told the Op through mail, this really reminds me of Saul and prophet Samuel in the Bible. All glory and honor to God.
May God alone be praised!!!!
This is my testimony!!!
God works wonders and He still has genuine servant of His of which the Op is one...
Thank you and God bless you |

I funded my account with $20 yesterday with the sole intent of compounding it in 60 days to $6k. Initially, I wanted to do it for 90 days and make it $100k but no, I don't want to put myself under pressure since I don't really trade full time now.
The idea is to grow the account slowly (10% gain)
The aim of this thread is to serve as a journal to monitor my progress and to help remain disciplined
I'll be posting pictures of trades I took and entry reasons for them for others to learn.
So I'll be aiming for my daily targets or weekly target. Once my daily or weekly targets are met, I am done for both that day and week.
I already took a trade yesterday and I just need $4 to meet this weeks target.
Below are pictures of the trade I took and the reason I took it
Trade reason; double top forming on a downtrend
Entry time frame: 30M
Exit reason: took me out in profit while I slept...

enthronedbyGod1: You have to learn to trust God with your whole heart and not lean on your own understanding. If God wants someone to be of blessings to you, He'll place it in your heart and lead you to the person or He'll speak to the person about you Himself. The Bible says as many as are led by the Spirit of God are His children. God wants to lead us and guide our paths, the only problem is that we Christians aren't sensitive to the Spirits leading most times. Most times we allow our flesh ( emotions, sinful desires , impatience, e.t.c ) get the better part of us.
May God put the devil to Shame and glorify His name in your life. May the work of your hands be blessed and may you prosper in all your endeavours in Jesus mighty name. amen.... thanks so much sir, i am learning to trust Him alone sir |
