Joseph Prince is just a false preacher who speaks no truth but sugarcoated Gospel. Their likes are the ones making bad politicians claim Christian and keep on being extremely corrupt, they won't preach about sin because it doesn't exist to them. He's either a demon in human flesh helping the devil to pack souls to hell or a chronic apostate.

Sin against the Holy Spirit is not forgivable, sin against the Holy Spirit is not just a mere sin as I've oftenly thought deep about it. People who do, have extreme knowledge and do that willfully. I've been so deeply unclear about how it is to sin against the Holy Spirit that i wonder if i haven't done that at some point.

Am not a deeper lifer but i attend their programs at times and their bible study.
Pastor Kumuyi really did justice to that subject. We do know it's the Holy Spirit that convicts of sin He's the one who leads one to repentance and being sober to then accept repentance amd forsaking sin. In such cases He "The Holy Spirit" will depart from such an one because there's no point he'll never repent and never be saved. Being repentant is paramount to getting saved.

Resorting to name calling doesn't change the facts of the discourse.

I have asked questions which you have not answered, how else do you want me to ask?

Fear is our greatest enemy, especially of the unknown outside the box.

The Truth needs nothing to lean on, nor does it force its acceptance.

I've not called you any name that differs from what you portray bro, you've asked question and I've answered but you keep saying same thing so it's clear you lack knowing about Judaism narrowed down to Christianity, we don't practice abomination.

Op@ademega
In the world we have several religious sects, narrow it down to Christianity, it's sad to say something that can't be hidden, to know the way some are born into it and some are quite far from close to it. The bible makes it clear that very few will make heaven opposed to what people believe that God isn't that wicked to allow that, it's not about Him being wicked if He allows it but being true to His word. He respects His word even more than any of His names you may know. Also sadly but true, the things of the kingdom is not given to all to know but those who were brought up in it will have their fair share in hell if they end up there including ME. That's more conviction anyone must have to sojourn in this world.

I run biz and people doubt when it comes to proving myself to be genuine, ooh mehn if i owe you na me dey beg you to collect your money sef, this is not because of fear but the love of being upright because the world has standard of uprightness and they deem it alright to do some certain things but contrary to the bible, the standard is so different from that of earthly norms. bible says owe no man nothing but love, people might be thinking this passage only make emphasis on loving people as ones self, but it's also letting us know in owing it's only love that we can be indebted to others for. Meaning debts is a no no unless done within it's bounds.

After all the religious sects around the world, let's come to Christianity. Screen among Christians and move out those churches with abominable doctrines come down to those with believe that to make heaven one must live holy and solely relying and having faith in Christ while they work out their faith/salvation with fear and trembling. Then among those there are still bad eggs, those who self-righteous and are hypocrites who haven't crucified the flesh, narrow down to those that got the 9 fruits of the spirit who constantly pray without seizing while being watchful as bible comands against easily besettings, who turns the other cheek.
Note: Those are the once who will make it if they endure till the end and i know they are in this world but few.

Those outside that group can make it by mercy if they're drawn to godly sorrow of being lost and come seeking for mercy and Christ before death or the rapture. The first shall be the last and the last first.

I've been following sweetcocoa and i read a lot from her likes and then she says stuffs sometimes that make me wanna click that unfollow button, maybe I'll eventually do but what I've come to know is that.
To those forming or claiming Christians here and attacking her and her likes you people are not better, because you don't use wisdom or even know God to know the loving cares He has for us bashing atheist and raining insults, na una own go worse pass because all they need is say the word and pray for them at your own closet and not showcasing how ignorant about godliness we are, una think say na every believer go make heaven? you believe but using wrong medium to convey that to an atheist who might have more knowledge than you in what you think you believe. I've never said anything to her and that pastor who turned atheist because their case no be to come dey claim Jesus without truly knowing Him. One thing that moved me to follow her is that she recognizes that the standard of heaven is high and so therefore unrealistic or so, even if she's always saying "bish" as she calls it at least she figured that out but many so called Christians don't and they display it here even when they believe in everything about heaven.
Peace

@ bolded, what do you mean?
Is there anyone that has monopoly of Bible interpretation?

That you are afraid to talk about certain things does not mean everyone else should not.

Yes, I rather think out of the box than be confined to the box by fear of looking at the bible history or what else is out there.

How can you understand godliness or Christianity in isolation of bible historical facts?

Oga you can tell i hate the discussion already. Who's afraid of historical facts? Well if you need me to explain things to you ask rather than expect me to tell you of my own will. I hate to have you seen as a Christian as you aren't one but a pagan.

menxer:
That you "feel awful" talking about the ancient bible practices of the father of faith, hints at feeble mindedness burying its head in the sands of religiosity out of fear of what such talk portends to held Christian doctrines of today.

Freedom from mental slavery is the hardest to achieve because having an inquisitive mindset may at times seem perverse.

If you believe you're good in whatever thing in life that's fine but not the interpretation of the bible. There are certain things that are not worth talking about, you're of the alien kind of Christian, who thinks way out the box. Go understand godliness and Christianity before portraying perversed views to others that aren't Christians.

menxer:
hahahahhahahaha

you are the one that failed to apply wisdom in your argument.

Abraham lived how many thousands of years ago, do you think they reasoned the way we do today?

BTW Abraham was not a "Christian," so his religious belief and practices would definitely differ from ours.

Yes, i am a "Christian," depending on your definition.

Who's talking about Abraham being a Christian? And you claim to be one, wow. I see why we have so many doing and practicing all sorts that other sects then start grouping them with Christian. Abraham was father of faith, he believed in God and acted on what was needed at the time. One word i have for you seek the true God and get his enlightenment, please stop the mention. Am done saying all these that makes me feel awful. How can we be even having talk of such, am tempted to say are you even a human at all let alone claiming to be a Christian? Repent of such perversed mindset.

All these ladies don bleach finish haba, no one remain ni. They are all campaigning for bleaching now.

menxer:
Irrespective of your belief, you can't wish away the fact that Abraham married his father's daughter.

That is from the Bible.

And if Abraham, possessor of heaven and earth, did it, then it was a noble thing to do.

@ bolded, If God blessed Abraham exceedingly for marrying his father's daughter, what then are you saying?

Am saying something very simple and blunt, you're ignorant of the bible. Would you just pick things from the bible and not apply adequate wisdom, haba? Forget it abeg I've already answered you before. Are you a Christian?

[quote author=danbugaje post=45627301][/quote]It's easy to tell ignorance, check my posts amd see where i talk about even the most Reverend pastor in Nigeria. None of them is with exception with God. One word the Bible say that settles this is, by their fruit ye shall kmow them. Not everyone claiming pastor is genuine abeg don't be ignorant of what you attack.

menxer:
No, my Dictionary permits it.

That was the practice from the beginning of civilization, even before Egypt.

As a prince in Egypt, you can't lay claim to the throne except your mother was a sister, half sister or cousin to the Pharaoh (your father).

That was why Ishmael was denied inheritance because his mother was not a half sister or cousin to his father (Abraham).

Ok, you said it. Your own dictionary but not God's. And where did you get the story about Ishmael from, no mumu wey you fit cook story give and im go chop am na, it's an abomination to marry your own sister, kilode? Ma wah ooo, so like you dey now you dey eye your mama sister pikin oo, if another story like the above occur again we know you already sounded it. You're talking about Egypt, well i don't know whatever your belief is but Egypt has nothing to do with Biblical morals. Except for the seed of Abraham all other nations in that time were abominable to God as they all served idols.

menxer:
Na wa for th boy sef, at that age?

Certain cultural Practices are archaic no doubt, but to all those trying to "regionalize" the marrying of ones cousins, step- and half siblings, know that it was a Biblical practice.


Hahahahahaha

I wish I can see the expression on the faces of some Christians.

Incest was an "honoured" thing, for Abraham the great patriarch was a practitioner.

Sorry what's your point? If you're a Christian you'll understand that historical issue of Abraham not able to marry from abominable tribe hence he had to marry his sister at the time. Are you saying the bible permits it now?

Make up don spoil this people face finish. See the 20. The thing with make up is same with bleaching, they are actually with low self esteem because they cannot dare appear without make up to the public. It's easier to be humble without make up but when ladies finish their face with makeup look something else they begin to form anything formable.

So Nigerians can admire natural beauty, ok that's nice because just as someone said y'all might not be seeing the former mama G again. Now ladies gonna get a tip of what's up for real about the whole artificals. I learnt she's repented and now am seeing these photos of her in celebrity gathering, that shows what I learnt was true. To maintain stance with God holiness is a must inwardly and then it will reflect outwardly as you no more think like to world or get inspired by former things.

DaVinChiSam:
Really cute. Mama G looks gorgeous.

YoowPeeRochas:
For those of us who may not know the reason behind Mama G's no-makeup outfit, she's been busy holding programmes down here in the East (Owerri mainly),with church, that she had an ENCOUNTER with Jesus Christ and that she was convicted of everything that has to do with her persona(Mama G). Hence, her decision to do away with everything that is *ARTIFICIAL* with her. I'm sorry u may not be getting the usual Mama G any longer. The Lord has taken over her lately!!!! Does anyone else know about this info?

No you're not the only one brother, I learnt about it too. And I thought it would have gone trending here already or become widely publicized already though.

Here's a pic of hers

Toks2008:
Can you quote a scripture that says bettting is a sin?

I dont bet or gamble but i hate it when i see people display arrogance and intellectual stuntedness such as Seun is displaying calling fx trading gambling.

You mister doesn't need my response because it's there in the content of the one i gave already but if you're among those the message talks about it's hard for you not to say what you're saying.

If am to reply you biblically you'll be reading a whole lot so rather get your acts right with God if you claim to be a Christian then you can start seeing sin as sin rather than being cloaked with worldly understanding of the Bible.

bobkezel:
atimes i wonder if people really think with their brains or anus. How can someone post this trash and people swallow it hook, line and sinker. I blame the moderators in part for not scrutinizing trashes before it gets to front page. That was how that same guy (ymodulus) posted one trash here about him commiting suicide, he gave step by step details about how he wanted to commit suicide and people were all over here ranting ''we should save him'', and running helter skelter to save him. He always gang up with his cohorts to deceive gullible people. He is a habitual con man and lair. He is 23, and he is worth over N100m and upon all his wisdom and all thriving businesses he could delve or invest into, he chose a tomato. Had it been he mentioned canning of tomatoes, i would have forced myself a bit to believe his trash. He is a blo0dy liar and i pity those that are gonna fall prey to him.

Like i said earlier, i don't even buy the idea of risking so much on perishables but that doesn't mean it's not genuine. Right from when i read it i could relate with the story because just about 2 weeks earlier i knew how my elder sis on visiting her family was complaining how a lot was spent on just little stew, and now it's rather 400% more expensive than then that my mum says most vendors no more even dare sell due to the price, chill and let's get the adventurous story from him, E no ask anybody for money sef.

bobkezel:
This story can inspire the non-right thinking man in the wrong direction. Follow his steps and you will lose it all. Lies upon lies. Flying around naija in search of tomatoes, giving out free monies, phones and other valuables to every d!ck, tom and harry. Is that how you do your own business? And you call yourself a business guy. My friend, it is either you are blatantly lying, or you are just being extremely hyperbolic. Liessss.

Oga, this is another thing we'll face for having the topic in fp, it has attracted gbogbo aye... seems you're just encountering him. See no be today. The lil business me sef dey do if some less enlightened folks hear, they'll feel it's too good to be true... Oga relax and lets have less pages so we can read better. On top una mata, dem don ban am, im no fit kWontinu again.

catlova2:
Anyways, share your story. I hope this thread wont end up with some lazy ass sending his/her life savings to someone in the hope of investing. It has happened here before.

This is what happens when the matter waka go fp, op no need investment. Abi Ymodulus you need? He's just sharing like he always do. Who call lala make e carry am go dstv oo.. we fit no fit follow up well again.

Which throws up more questions.

10 million naira transfers, to whom?He just told us he disguised his Nigerianess to get better bargains, so I assume his sellers are Cameroonians. That's an international transfer. We both know how that works and even the fastest takes 3 business working days and has lots of restrictions. Transfer just 1 million as an individual alone and your name would be flagged by EFCC. It is part of the anti money laundering act.


Also we have to understand most of these sellers are illiterate and unbanked and if you have ever been to any large agricultural market. It is a purely cash to goods business. Also, you can buy in bulk but there's a limit to the bulk buying. Just one person can never have 7000 baskets. You may have to pick 400 here, 300 there, 1000 from another. Which throws the hypothesis of transferring in bulk to one single person out of the window. So how did he pay them? Carried 56 or 70 million around?
Who was he transferring to then?

Also the tale about him sending J5s without escorts just opened his yansh. Yeah some Hausa biz men maybe trustworthy but you would be damned to send your goods without a motor boy whom you know from your side to follow them. The share scale of logistics involved would be amazing to pull off. It would be a nightmare .

Also you have to understand you pay duties on products to and fro Nigeria. Cameroon is not jus adamawa that you stroll over and they just allow you take produce out like that.

There are so many loopholes in his story that anyone that scratches the surface would know this is impossible and more like fairytale.

I guess he would have his audience who believe all these stories though, since most of his followers are just out of school or naive undergraduates who have no idea whatsoever.

Oga, you're falling hand abeg, those who have finished school, gotten masters etc and not naive as you claim are not always the best in risk taking and business. What you don't understand is that this guy was in FX biz for quite some time now and should be in the best possible to know alot on how to move money around especially in a business of his own interest. Coupled with the fact he just made it clear on how he made the transfers without necessarily having exchange in currencies directly by him be in play.

See I've been reading through and i really like his zeal but figures don't move me like that so am skeptical about one risking alot on perishables. but oga chill. I doubt nothing of what he's been saying. Where you think say you know reach na dere many people own start.

Seun:
1. It will affect our traffic, but we will get some new traffic from the legitimate business discussions that will fill the vacuum.
4. There are good risks and bad risks. Sports betting and online forex will leave the average participant poorer.
6. Many people dont understand maths and probability, so they don't understand the magnitude of the risk.
7. A small price to pay for the dramatic improvements we expect to see in the business, sports and investment sections.
8. It's a false succour that makes the poor even poorer by taking their time and also their money.

I support your notion. This same reason we preach that betting is a sin, because it's important to understand some concepts of sin. God hates things done that are evil, things that affects us, health wise, loses etc. But people who claim to be serving God still won't accept it's a sin because they're vastly carried away with worldly wisdom that don't understand how those lusts of the world sway their hearts to crave money at all costs, even to the lose of other people.

Oga seun, me i know you might have counter ideas about Him "God" but no be that one be the centre here now. This is my own say to the bans. Support it 100%ly.

[size=15pt]The Market Research[/size]

Having been in the Yam business in time past, coming into the mile12 market wasnt new to me or running around the market.

I got to the market on 27th of April 2016, then went straight to the tomatoes section, looking for some hausa sellers.

I met a man who linked me up to a major tomatoes delale ( Delale is an hausa term for dealer ). I met the Delale and began asking him questions about the business. At first he was hesitant  been that my dress and looks was not in tandem with that of most marketers. I had to go native, speaking the Hausa language. i told him  that am interested in bringing tomatoes to the market to sell and if he can sell for me. He told me he can and took me round the market to show/ teach me the nitty gritty  of the tomatoes business.


Note: Some may ask why i had to meet the Hausa sellers and not any other tribe  like yoruba been the dominant tribe there. From my research, and having been a Yam Dealer in time past of up to 10,000 tubers in a day. I noticed that the Mile12 markets operates a Cartel Like system of Government. You cant just beat the Hausa Cabals of sellers. Also for you to survive in a new business you have to go with the HONEST party. The Hausas are very much more loyal in business/ open in business dealing than any other tribe.

You're true on this, hausa dey open and honest for business, more especially if you come sabi their language.

Seems Ib is now getting nicer, where i grew up. Very familiar with that bodija and samonda.. Remember how we used to go take raps of fufu and gbegiri at that samonda garage space opposite Immanuel college, dem con clear the place leaving us with our favorite meal spot gone.

Alright spoken on phone. We deal very soon when in the week.

chaski:
Adam and Eve left Paradise and began their life on earth.  God had prepared them in many ways.  He gave them the experience of struggling against the whisperings and schemes of Satan.  He taught Adam the names of everything and instructed him in its properties and usefulness.  Adam took up his position as caretaker of the earth and Prophet of God.

Adam, the first Prophet of God was responsible for teaching his wife and offspring how to worship God and seek His forgiveness.  Adam established the laws of God and set about trying to support his family and learning to subdue and care for the earth.  His task was to perpetuate, cultivate, construct and populate; he was to raise children who would live according to God’s instructions and care for and improve the earth.

Adam’s First Four Children

Adam and Eve’s first children, Cain and his sister, were twins,; Abel and his sister, another set of twins, soon followed.  Adam and his family lived in peace and harmony.  Cain ploughed the earth while Abel raised livestock.  Time passed and the occasion came for the sons of Adam to marry.  A group of the companions of Prophet Muhammad including Ibn Abbas and Ibn Masud related that inter-marriage of the male of one pregnancy with the female of another had been the practice among Adam’s children. Therefore we know that God’s plan to fill the earth included each of Adam’s sons marrying the twin sister of the other.

It seems that beauty has played a part in the attraction of men and women since the beginning.  Cain was not pleased with the partner chosen for him.  Cain began to envy his brother and refused to obey the command of his father and, in doing so, he disobeyed God.  God created man with both good and bad tendencies, and the struggle to over come our baser instincts is part of His test for us.

God commanded that each son was to offer a sacrifice.  His judgement would favour the son whose offer was the most acceptable.  Cain offered his worst grain, but Abel offered his best livestock.  God accepted Abel’s sacrifice, so Cain became enraged, threatening to kill his brother.

“And (O Muhammad) recite to them (the Jews) the story of the two sons of Adam (Abel and Cain) in truth; when each offered a sacrifice to God, it was accepted from the one but not from the other.  The latter said to the former; ‘I will surely kill you.’” (Quran 5:27)

Abel advised his brother that God would accept good deeds from those that fear and serve Him, but  reject the good deeds of those who are arrogant, selfish and disobedient towards God.

“The former said: ‘Verily God accepts only from those who are pious.  If you do stretch your hand against me to kill me I shall never stretch my hand against you to kill you, for I fear God; the Lord of mankind, jinn, and all that exists.’” (Quran 5:27-28)

The First Murder

“So the self  (base desires) of the other (latter one) encouraged him and made fair seeming to him the murder of his brother; he murdered him and became one of the losers.” (Quran 5:30)

Prophet Muhammad informed us that Cain became angry and hit his brother over the head with a piece of iron.  It was also said in another narration that Cain hit Abel over the head while he was sleeping.

“God sent a crow who scratched the ground to show him to hide the dead body of his brother.  He (the murderer) said: ‘Woe to me!

Am I not even able to be as this crow and to hide the dead body of my brother?’  Then he became one of those who regretted.” (Quran 5:31)

Adam was devastated; he had lost both his first and second born sons.  One had been murdered; the other was won over by mankind’s greatest enemy – Satan.  Patiently, Adam prayed for his son, and continued to care for the earth.  He taught his many children and grandchildren about God.  He told them of his own encounter with Satan and advised them to beware of Satan’s tricks and schemes.  Years and years passed, and  Adam grew old and his children spread out across the earth.

Adam’s Death

All of mankind are the children of Adam.  In one narration, the Prophet Muhammad informed us that God showed Adam his descendants.  Adam saw a beautiful light in Prophet David’s eyes and loved him, so he turned to God and said: “Oh God.  Give him forty years from my life.”  God granted Adam his request, and it was written down and sealed.

Adam’s life span was supposed to be 1000 years but after 960 years the Angel of death came to Adam.  Adam was surprised and said “but I still have 40 years to live”.  The angel of death reminded him of his gift of 40 years to his beloved descendant Prophet David, but  Adam denied it.  Many, many years later, the last Prophet Muhammad said: “Adam denied so the children of Adam deny, Adam forgot and his children forget; Adam made mistakes and his children make mistakes.” (At-Tirmidhi)

In Arabic the word for mankind is insan and it comes from the root word nisyan  to forget.  This is part of human nature, mankind forgets, and when we forget we deny and reject.  Adam forgot (he was not lying), and God forgave him.  Adam then submitted to the will of God and died.  The Angels descended and washed the body of Prophet Adam an odd number of times; they dug the grave and buried the body of the father of mankind, Adam.

Adam’s successor

Before his death Ad[color=#006600][/color]am reminded his children that God would never leave them alone or without guidance.  He told them God would send other Prophets with unique names, traits and miracles, but they would all call to the same thing – the worship of the One True God.  Adam appointed as his successor his son Seth.

All these quranic sides of biblical history ehn. I keep wondering how some scholars will even not reason beyond being deluded. A man coming some 600 years later and claiming stories saying was from God. And they believe it over the same bible the quran says is from God. Abeg bro quran has no true side of any story when it contradicts the texts from the bible, except only maybe on Islamic, Arabian issues.

WHITEWIZARD:
I will go for the first lady that is a virgin, believe me OP, so many people have ignorantly underestimated the powers a female virgin possesses. the prayers of a female virgin are bein answered in Heaven in a twinkle of a eye. there is always a blessing attach to when u get married to a female virgin. you as the husband is entitle to the blessing becaus marriage made two of you to become one. "believe u me, if a guy is in a relationship with a female virgin, and this female virgin loves him with all her heart and prays for him always. THE SKY WILL BE THE STARTING POINT FOR THE GUY. "ITS PITIABLE THAT LADIES DONT KNOW THE POWER THEY HAVE IN BEIN A VIRGIN TILL MARRIAGE.

Generally it's so for female and male virgins who are also virgins at heart. I no be one sha but maybe the later... see as the world don spoil finish, even females want sex anyhow. I want a virgin oo, but once had a nasty one who i left then because she carry am for head like chin chin, in the wrong way, using it to brag. But hey am not soliciting for immorality here.
