Auto-start apps.

P.S. if sync is off, you won't be able to receive emails. Only my Gmail is allowed to auto sync. But you can disable it if you wish

Are gapps running by default?

U mean Google play services?

Gptech:
Bugs, bugs, and more bugs! This your experiment of different roms must have injected some bugs in your device . I remember after flashing a Bule custom rom in my redmi note 2,the phone never remained the same even after returning to global stable rom. You may need to do a full wipe of your device to get rid of that bug. But don't forget your Helio x10 chip.

I always wipe my phone after flashing

GrandMufti:
Lucky you. That's means you just need to adjust the settings a bit to get more battery life. Miui 8 is much more heavier than miui 7.

Which of d settings?
GPS is off
Sync is off

GrandMufti:
Does it heat-up often?

Nah... I've never experienced that... Only battery palava

iheanyi4u:
You have to understand that the reason for the battery drain is the helio x10 processor. It's a power hungry soc. That's why the redmi note 2 battery is a write off.

Its not your phone nor is your battery going bad it's just a poorly optimized processor.

You could try using power save mode
Disable sync
Disable live wallpaper.
Disable automatic brightness
Turn off gps

I wasn't experiencing this on miui7..if I had seen comments on battery drain,I would not have upgraded

GrandMufti:
Ok... Ensure you always charge the phone with stock charger. If you must use power bank, use Xiaomi

I just reflashed the rom,I used the battery low and charged it full,but the drain persists

40manlappy:
Please share the link that you used.

What type of Xiaomi device do you use?

Did you have to unlock bootloader?

My bootloader is unlocked.. Go to xiaomi.eu

GrandMufti:
It is important You do a factory reset after every flashing. Then use the phone till the battery dies down completely, switch it off and charge it fully. Which rom are you on now? I'm keen on that eu rom

I'll flash it again and follow what u post

GrandMufti:
How old is the phone?

It will be 1 year by December 20

God Made Man In His Image And Likeness

Gen. 1:26-27; 2:7

Man was the peak of God’s creation, made as male man and female man are different from all other creations with the special dignity to reflect God’s nature and image and to make relationship and fellowship between God and the man easy. God wanted man by creation to rule and dominate all His works of creation and as His representatives and deputies, with ability reflected in the human capacity for communication and relationship with God. That the spiritual controls the natural is an established fact even from creation. When the use of a thing is not known, its abuse is inevitable. But God gave man the divine ability to name other things created and to know their use.



Point of Emphasis: God made man by design for relationship and dominion.

Prayer Point: Help me Oh Lord to understand the essence of my existence.

Now I'm in trouble and I don't want to bliv what I'm thinking..

Pray For Your Leaders

1 Tim. 2:1-4

The Bible enjoins Christians to pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17). This is to say that we should be praying continuously until something happens. We are not praying alone for ourselves, church, and family, members but we should pray for “kings and those in authority that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty” (1 Tim. 2:2). The responsibility of praying for our country should be taken serious. John Knox pray for Scotland in his time and his Country was transformed, we can do same thing for our country and Christ will reign in every nooks and cranny of our nation.



Point of Emphasis: Pray for kings and those in authority.

Prayer Point: I will not fail God in playing my responsibility of praying for the kings and those in authority in the name of Jesus.



BACKGROUND

Christians are in the world but not of the world and as such, they are admonished to respect the government of their temporary abode which by extension is the will of God also a way to show the world where they are temporary residents and sojourners how orderly their permanent abode in heaven is. This lesson is timely because of the many dirty reports emanating from the polity and the supposed leaders which continue to leave so many despondent and disappointed with no reason to follow or respect such institutions. This reminds of a conversation that once ensued between a father and his son, “My boy,” said a father to his son, “treat everybody with politeness, even those who are rude to you; remember, you show courtesy to others, not because they are gentlemen, but because you are one”. The word of God is still our standard, irrespective of the prevailing situation; there is never a good reason for doing a bad thing.



NOTES ON THE TEXT

PART 1: BE SUBJECT TO THE GOVERNING AUTHORITIES (ROM. 13:1-6)

This epistle of Paul was believed to have been written in 58AD, some four or five years after the edict of the Emperor Claudius which banished the Jews from Rome. The Apostle discusses the subject of the duty which Christians owe to civil government; a subject which is extremely important, and at the same time exceedingly difficult. There is no doubt that he had express reference to the peculiar situation of the Christians at Rome and more importantly by extension to all the Christians the world over. There seems to be a picture that looked like a republic amid other republic; Christians profess supreme allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ, our Lord; He is the Lawgiver, the Sovereign, the Judge. It became, therefore, a question of great importance and difficulty, what kind of allegiance should be rendered to earthly authorities.

Both the Jews claiming to be special people who should have supreme rule everywhere and the Christians under the notion of being God’s peculiar people might be infected with the unruly and rebellious sentiments of insubordination to any rulership that is not Divine. This act grounded on native restlessness would have in several instances given a cause of suspicion to the Roman government who in turn would be glad to expel persons considered dangerous to the peace and security of the state.

The apostle had to come in to show the Christians that despite their honours and privileges as children of God, they are bound by the strongest obligations to be subject to the civil governing authorities for the following reasons:

First, there is no authority except from God, He is the Owner and origin of all powers, and the supreme Governor of the universe. Second, He delegates authority to whomsoever He wills; and though in many cases the governor himself may not be of God, i.e. may not be a Christian, yet civil government is of God; for without a government there could be no society, no security, no private property; all would be confusion and anarchy, and the habitable world would soon become disorderly and eventually uninhabited.



PART 2: THE CHRISTIAN AND DUES TO THE GOVERNMENT (ROM. 13:6-7; MK. 12:16-17)

The due the Apostles enjoins us to pay to the government as God’s minister includes taxes, customs, fear and honour. He appeals to our conscience as Christians and not only because of the repercussion that might follow, but most importantly because of how we are called and the high standard we are to set for the people of the world. The motive for civil obedience should come not only from a desire to avoid God’s wrath or that of the state but also the conscience that is instructed by divine revelation. The task of the government is divinely ordained and it requires financial support. The Christian is duty bound to pay his dues to the state because as a beneficiary of it, he owes it some payment in return.

Be rigidly just at the discharge of your dues; withhold not from the state, what the laws of God and your country require you to pay. Tribute to whom tribute; this word probably means such taxes as were levied on persons and estates. Custom to whom custom; this word probably means such duties as were laid upon goods, merchandise etc, on important and exports; what we commonly call custom. Treat all official characters with respect, and be obedient to your superiors.

Honour to whom honour. Never behave rudely to any person; but behave respectfully to men in authority: if you cannot even respect the man, for an important office may be filled by an unworthy person, respect the office, and the man on account of his office.



PART 3: THE CHURCH AND CIVIL GOVERNMENT (1 TIM. 2:1-4; 1 PET. 2:13-14)

The Church’s sphere of authority relates to the civil government at the level of morality. The church has the responsibility to comment on the morality of the governments and their policies on the basis of God’s word, but should not appropriate to itself the power to set such policies. The church should be the reference point and guide for the government when sensitive issues are to be considered, hence should steer clear and not rubbish itself. Every compromise the Christian or the church gets involved with make the same lose voice when it really matters. All God wants from us is to contact without contamination. We need to win the world over to the Lord Jesus, we need to influence our world but we must not let the world because of any reason turn the table against us.

Also Christians are to urge governments to fulfill their proper role. They are to pray for the government to be successful so that we can all live peaceably in all godliness and reverence, Christians are to obey and yet watch over civil governments, though sounds complex, to watch over and yet obey; by reminding the rulers that God ordained them to rule, protect and to keep order.



CONCLUSION

The subject of the duty which Christians owe to civil government; a subject which is extremely important, and at the same time exceedingly difficult is being considered today. There is no doubt that the Apostle Paul had express reference to the peculiar situation of the Christians at Rome; but the subject was of so much importance that he gave it a general bearing as Christianity is to extend to the uttermost part of the age as Jesus prophesied. Summarily, Christians are to submit to authorities and people in position of power. They are to respect the constitution, obey the law, pay their dues and above all, live as Ambassadors of Jesus who endured the cross and despised the shame for the joy that was set before Him. However, Christians are to take a stand when the laws interfere with the right of conscience; when they are commanded the worship of idols, or any moral wrong, then it is their duty to refuse submission.



QUESTIONS

Why did Paul ask Christians to obey the state i.e. Government?

Those who resist “The power are said to be what in Romans 13:2?

Name the dues you are supposed to pay to the government. Do you have any justification for not paying any of them?

A man or woman who finds himself or herself disrespecting official character will soon find himself or herself doing what?

Mention some of the duties Christians are to perform for the Government.

Where is dalung? Cos I see no red beret

GrandMufti:
You can now bear me witness when I criticize Xiaomi and the way they handle miui updates.

The Chinese rom is supposed to be better than the global rom because gapps are not installed by default, hence more ram available. But that is not the case.

You can now imagine what will be the fate of the global rom with gapps running on 'auto-mode'

Lolz

Miui 7 loading .... I can't stand this battery drainage mehn... Eu rom on my mind

homesteady:
This is football, so who should qualify to be a real leader?
1) A player who put up consecutive inspiring displays, creates the play, gives assist and still score beautiful goals! Who if not given the space to play, the team becomes really dead! Who all his teammates look up to perform magic!

Or

2) A player who was having a stinker of a tournament, who could only lead his team to one victory in normal time. Who was displaying his petulant behaviour by insulting another country! And during the final, he ran out of the pitch, and was giving 'inspirational' talks from the sidelines!

No matter how you guys try to distort history, we all know Ronaldo wasn't a major player in Portugal's victory!
You can argue with the individual awards Messi has won during international competitions!

What u said here is total trash bro. U r obviously one sided and not a football fan. Agreed, he didn't play in the final but he's a major in Portugal's road to victory. I don't argue about Messi Ronaldo, I just say d truth. Ronaldo is in a team where they look up to him and he's also the captain and u don't expect less from him. He was there when he was needed most from the group stage down to the final. When they needed their first goal against Hungary, he was there. When they needed second goal, he was there. When they needed 3rd goal, he was also there. Played Poland and Croatia also this guy was there for the team. He gave his all.. His life depended on the the cup. And if u followed Portugal match from the beginning of the euros to the final, u could see that only Ronaldo and Pepe (sanches also) gave their all, others either looked down on themselves or not ready to give all but that changed in the final. They won that cup for Ronaldo, if he wasn't in the sidelines they might still win the cup because they were at top of their games that final. Nani had been under performing from the on set but it changed in that match, Mario was performing well from the beginning but he increased his determination in the final and many more players (if Ronaldo had played, they might not have won and also if he had played they might have won also). He was injured, not that he faked it from the way u r talking. France saw he was the main man and he was down and they were happy(that made me not to like payet sef ). U r saying he went to the sidelines, please where do u expect him to be? In the dressing room questioning God for not letting him play the final he has worked for? U r just be sentimental here bro... He tried to play after the incident but he could not continue, he was angry at himself, it was as if everything he built is about crashing. But he was there from the second half since he can't play again, he can still talk and move. That alone is enough for his teammates to step up their game. Looking at that match vividly, Portugal had no pattern at all. I don't even understand what they were playing when Ronaldo was in the pitch but everything just changed for them for the better, renato was under performing in the beginning, he could not get his feet (maybe because that's the first final he played or facing a tough opponent like France) but later on, my boy showed them the reason y bayern bought him ... When they wanted to play penalty against Poland, did u see moutinho when Ronaldo was charging his teammates? The guy was not there, he was afraid because he was the one that lost the penalty against Spain in 2012 but as a captain Ronaldo called him, told him it's a win or not (u can look for the video online), gave him some words and his penalty was good.. That's the spirit bro.. U r obviously a Messi fan or a barca fan but that doesn't mean u should say things as if u just started watching football

Obey Your Rulers

Rom. 13:1-7

God ordained the state as an institution to pilot the affairs of the citizens. God commands Christians to obey the rulers (v. 1). The governments are put in place because we need certain restraints to prevent disharmony in the society. Paul describes ‘government’ as people put in place to execute its proper function to the smooth running of the state to ensure peace and progress. But when its directives run contrary to the word of God, the latter should be followed. Verse 2, says, whoever refuses to obey the ordinances, rules and regulations of his or her leaders is doing it at the detriment of his or her life. Christians must be law abiding. Therefore, don’t do anything that will bring reproach to God’s name.





Point of Emphasis: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers (v. 1a)

Prayer Point: The grace to be obedient to higher authorities, give to me Oh Lord in the name of Jesus.

Render Therefore To All Their Dues

Rom. 13:7-11

This is an extensive command. Be rigidly just; withhold neither from the king nor his ministers, nor his officers of justice and revenue, nor from even the lowest of the community, what the laws of God and your country require you to pay. Tribute to whom tribute is due. This word probably means such taxes as were levied on persons and estates. Custom to whom custom is due. This word probably means such duties as were laid upon goods, merchandise, etc, on imports and exports; what we commonly call custom.



Point of Emphasis: Render to all their dues as expected of a child of God.

Prayer Point: Lord, help me to show respect to people in authority in my church and my Nation.

GrandMufti:
Yep. I said it the last time. Of all the phones I've used, only Xiaomi drains battery more when you are on data.
They need to get competent hands into their development team. With each update, the phones gets worse. It makes absolutely no sense in releasing high end phones when you have a mediocre OS to accompany it.

Just try to tweak your phone a bit to see if you can squeeze out some extra hours of battery life
