DeepSight:
You are ignorant and mad.

That reminds me to add that TRUTH IS BITTER.

What is the truth.
From input of many authority sources, TRUTH can be said to be correct position or reality about something which is a subject of controversies.
Jesus amidst of controversies on his personality declared:
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

There are some salient features about TRUTH that is noteworthy:
1.Truth is independent of every other associative factors.
2.Truth cannot be changed because even after the evidences are destroyed the truth still remained that they were destroyed.
3. Truth does not show symphaty to ignorance
4.Truth does not respect believe systems of man.
5.Truth is not sensitive to limitation or error in human perception ability.e.g controversy over the shape of the earth.
6.Truth cannot be hidden forever.
Matthew 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
John 18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

2 Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

There is a popolar old adage that says " seing is believing". But how true is this?
Is it always true that what man senses organ percieve is the TRUTH?
A little experiment on visual illusion can help us, may be?
Take a look at picture below and tell whether you are seing straight line or not?
Apparently the lines are bend but TRUELY the lines are straight. You can confirm by placing straight ruler on the edges of the lines to confirm.

Little wonder the Bible advised:
2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight

There is something astonishly outstanding about Jesus: Of all men who have have made self declarative statement about their divinity, He is the only one who still remains relevant, more than 2000 years after.
Remember that if Jesus is the truth as he claimed and He is,
Your believe system, your perception, your ignorance and many more will not matter and will also not be an excuse.
A very simple way of knowing the truth is by testing it.
Taste of the pudding is in the eating of it. Give Him a try and if He fails you, my guess is that you know what to do


You may have the choices of not believing or care less, but I am certain that you shall not have the choice of escaping the consequence of your choice.
Friend I can assure you that the only offence many shall be guilty of is that they chose not to be bothered by the need to know the TRUTH.
It is your responsibility to know the TRUTH and accept it so that it can set you free.

Accept the TRUTH(JESUS) today.

This is very unfortunate. A man has lost his arm following a ghastly motor accident which happened earlier today along Ibadan express way. The man who was rescued by emergency officials - has been rushed to the hospital for treatment. We pray for his survival and wish him fast recuperation.

I think with advancement in medical science that hand can still be grafted back because it still in good condition. I have read about it sometimes ago.

The cumbersome myriads obstructions on the right of way have been bedevilling the smooth take off of the project,

They initially proved insurmountable, but seems hope is restored,
They are currently at the site where a bridge is meant to link marina and the mainland,

I guess it was at this instant juncture, they approached the remnants of wreckage, underwater gas pipeline line,

These shots were taken couple of months back, they must have cleared the debris, relocated the pipes, and currently working on the prebasement/carriage superstructure, piling etc, before casting begins,

The works show there is commitment to meet this new deadline.

This why we must automate our geo reference data bank. The technologies are there, govt. should invest in people. GPS, GIS. Of what use is the satellite launched sometimes ago. What about geo refence data captured by those satellite.
I am critically doubting the quality physical planning that has been done on this project if basic base line data are not available.
We are good at construction without planning in Nigeria. God helps us.

If your partner is broke why can't you become rich and held him out since its no big deal getting rich. I am sure she is a fan of what a man can do a woman can do better.
I rebuke in her that spirit of inferiority complex.

I would appreciate any job related to my study, be it in environmental , engineering, mining, borehole or any unrelated job as long as it puts money in my pocket.

Start looking for opportunity to offer free service in any sector you cherish most.
If you can offer your service free to them online if transport is a challenge. Plead with them to pay token to cover your cost.
Offer to start helping at church, mosque, NGO, club etc on any area of their need.
Along the line, start learn engineering, GIS applications and coding. you are still fresh and need a lot to learn.
I stead of begging for someone to help why not offer your home teaching service on nairaland as physics, maths and chemistry teacher, student are holiday. Why not talk to those banker and oil coy worker that you can teach their children.


It is well.

I was on Major express way yesterday at Ibadan, where I saw this means of transporting meat.
We need to declare state if emergency in all sectors of this country.
This most dramatic part of the story is that police patrol vehicle is right behind this motorbike and the occupants did not even blink their eyes.

Its a pity that you have to conclude that way. You need to be set free by the truth that our Lord and Ransomer Jesus Christ taught. And that can happen if only you will exercise your God given free will and open up your heart and mind.

Great, but hear what scripture says about the mind you advise I should open:

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Proverb advised that I should not lean on my own understanding.

As a design professional I can tell what you see is just interpretation of your brain and not what is the truth. Beloved verily verily I say unto you, if Jesus could only do it by depending on Holy Spirit, you cant do it.Shalom.

Investnow2017:
You are right. But did Jesus speak in tongues? And did he ever say that every one must speak in tongue? Why make it sound as though without blabbing you will not be saved? That is the point dear.

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mark 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 15:35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
Remember those said above were Jews yet they did not understand what he said.
Also from above scripture if you don't speak in tongue you are not a believer. End of discussion.

Investnow2017:
The problem with most of you is that you develop a mindset, then look for a church (and there are sadly enough variety) that fits with it and then join. You become so engrossed that even when they point out horrible errors to you, you cannot see beyond your nose and you see nothing wrong because the so-called miserable man of god tells you what you want to hear.

That you purportedly prayed in tongue and you claim yr prayer was answered does not amount to anything. Even pagans pray to their god and claim to get answers.

What is the principal theme of the Bible? What message does it contain and how do all the sayings of the Bible harmonize with the overall theme? To get answers to these questions, you must endeavour to understand the core of Jesus' message. When he began to preach, what did he say and why? When he taught his disciples to pray what were the points of prayer and why? What commission did he give his disciples before he departed for heaven and why?

Blabbing in tongues to create false impression that you have a particular spirit is at once deceptive and fraudulent. Why are most churches more interested in what can easily deceive and intimidate - its becauae their original intent is not the sanctification of God's name but the enrichment of their pockets with proceeds from the downthroden. And for this they are prepared to misquote the Bible which they often cite in isolation.

Sad

Just like the Lord himself said, a disciple is not greater than his masters. If you want to know him take your cross and follow him, not like you do in tweeter, but by passing through the process he passed through. Make him your role model. He said it himself that you should learn of him. Proverb says lean not on your own understanding.

And this Signs shall follow them that believe ….. They shall speak in Tongues.(mark 16:17).

The issue of speaking in tongues in Christendom has for some years now been an issue of debate. Some people believe that every believer must not speak in tongues backing their statement with the fact that speaking in tongues is the only evidence or proof of the Holygost. Some other group of believers on the other hand on the other hand maintained that speaking in tongue is the Evidence of the presence of the Holygost.

In this Article, I am not going to argue whether it is a must for every believer or not, I will be giving you ten reasons why every believer should speak in tongues.

1 Tongues is the initial sign.

“And they were all filled with the Holygost and began to speak with other Tongues as the spirit gave them utterance” Acts 2:4

The word of God clearly explained that the Disciples of Christ spoke in tongues immediately the holygost came on them while they were praying in Jerusalem.



2 Tongues for spiritual Edification

“He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifies himself” 1 cor 14:4

The term edification means building up, especially in a moral , emotional or spiritual sense. So when we speak in tongues we build up our selves spiritually. Paul explained that a man speaking in other tongues speaks not unto men but unto God.

“For one who speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to men but to God, for no one understands because in the holygost he utters secret truths and hidden things not obvious to the understanding.” 1 cor 14:2

Anybody who speaks in tongues charges himself before God. ie he builds ups and strengthens himself.


3 Tongues remind us of the spirit’s indwelling presence

“And I will ask the father and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the holy spirit who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him, but you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you”. John 14:15-16

Notice that jesus said that he lives with you now and later will be in you and after the death of jesus the holygost. It means that the Holy Spirit then dwelled in them. We all know what happened when the holygost filled the disciples in Jerusalem. Speaking in tongues reminds us of the spirit’s indwelling presence.



4 praying in tongues is praying in line with God’s perfect Will.

“Likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities; for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which words cannot be uttered.

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27 kjv

The bible made it clear here that the holygost maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. So praying in tongues helps us pray in line with the will of God.


5 praying in tongues stimulates faith.

“but you dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holyspirit” jude 20

If the holy spirit gives us the utterance when we speak in tongues, when we say a word, we don’t know what the next word will be, so we need to Trust God to bring it and that is faith. Praying in tongues helps us to strengthen our faith in God.

6 speaking in tongues is a means of keeping free from worldly contamination.

“If anyone speaks in a tongue , two or at most three should speak, one at a time, and someone should interpret. If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.” I cor 14:27-28

Paul said when you speak in tongues in the church and there is no interpreter then you should speak to yourself. Therefore we can speak to ourselves in tongues and it won’t disturb anybody. This helps us to keep free from worldly contamination. For example, when you are in the midst of people who are discussing things which can contaminate our spirit and you don’t want to be part of it, speak to yourself in tongues by that it helps you to stay free from the conversation.



7 praying in tongues enable us to pray for the unknown

The Holy Spirit who knows everything can pray through for things which our natural mind knows nothing about. The spirit intercedes for us for we know not what to pray for as we ought. (Romans 8: 26).

Praying in the spirit provides a way for things to be prayed for that we wouldn’t know anything about in the natural.



8 praying in tongues gives spiritual refreshing.

“With foreign lips and strange tongues, God will speak to this people, to whom he said, this is the resting place, let the weary rest” Isaiah 28:11-12.

The scripture above speaks of rest and refreshing which is in the talking in other tongues. These things are vital for our spirits and we can take it every day.



9 Tongues for giving thanks.

Praying in tongues provides the most perfect way to pray way to pray and give thanks, for the bible said that when we pray in tongues that we give thanks very well. (1 cor 14:15-17)

10 speaking in tongues brings the tongue under subjection.

Yielding the tongue to the Holy Spirit to speak with other tongues is a giant step towards fully yielding all of our members to God. For if we can yield this most unruly member, we can yield any member.

SOURCE : http://praisebars.com/10-reasons-why-every-believer-must-speak-in-tongues/

As a believer, you a warrior for life. You engage in a spiritual warfare especially when you pray. The success of every battle depends on good intelligence encryption system. Holy Spirit coordinates this communications coding and decoding to beat enemy.
During the time of Daniel the demons in charge of his province stopped his answer because they have access to his intelligence. That is the edge we have today with Holy Spirit with us.
Many today don't know knowledge of God have been prophesied that will be widespread and can no longer be caged in any theological cult or college. This why they oppose teaching such speaking in diverse of tongues.

Nigeriadondie:
Tongues speaking was a gift of d holy spirit which enabled early christians back then to preach in a language(tongue) other than their own.

Before the birth of christianity, God had a covenant relationship with man but that was to change as the old Law was to be replaced with the new law enacted by d blood of Jesus and henwas no longer dealing with humans on d basis of the old law but thru d newly formed christian congregation after Christ's death and ressurection. To convince many that the congregation had His backing, he uses gifts of d spirit such as tongues- 1 Corinthians 14:22.

The gift of speaking served another purpose. During the time of Jesus there was no printing and broadcasting to relay messages to a mass audience as we ve now. Also, there was d issue of language barrier which wud hamper d spread of d gospel of God's will and purpose. To overcome these challenges, tongues speaking filled that need.

Please open ur Bible to read Acts 2:1-11 but with emphasis on verses 6-11 where you wud observe that the tongues spoken where in d real sense of it real languages that were understood by other people who spoke the language not some senseless and meaningless words spoken by ALL tongues speaking pentecostal churches. That way, people cud hear the message of God in their own native language. If u read Acts2:41 u would see that d result of tongues speaking was the 3,000 converts who would now carry witj them to whereever they went the message of goodnews or gospel fulfilling what Christ said in Acts1:8 and what Paul said in Colossians 1:23.

Again, lets examine tongue speaking in the time of early christians and the ones of our time which for me is mere rambling of meaningless words which is tantamount to noise which I recall in my High school class is an unpleasant noise.
Read 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 and 27-31 with emphasis on verse 30.
Read also 1 Corinthians 14:5-33,40 but lay emphasis on 5,11,12,13,19,26-28,31,33,40.
You would realise that when tongues are spoken then it must be interpreted. If no interpretation the tongue speaker has achieved nothing.
Also in verse 31, people cant speak in tongues simultaneously (at the same time) it would make d place rowdy/noisy/disorderly/chaotic as the gathering of barbarians. And the God true christians worship is a God or order as verse 33 shows and so christians must worship God in an orderly manner as verse 40 shows. Not the simultaneous noise making of all in the pentecostal churches we see today, people rambling making noise uttering words they nor their listeners understand and as such cannot interpret what the blabbed which is required.

Now in our time, we ve a well developed printing and broadcasting technology that has overcome the language barrier. The spread of d goodnews is no longer impeded by language barrier as the Bible is now printed in all the living languages spoken today. We even have d Braille for the blind and some bibles have sign language for d deaf. Beinh an ardent admirer of Jehovah's Witnesses the have their publications in about 800 languanges and have a mobile application called "JW LIBRARY" in about 800 languages. If u doubt me u can download it and u wud be amazed at its unique features. Even their website www.jw.org is in many languages as well so making tongues speaking obsolete.
Also , they ve many missionaries who ve taken up the challenge of leaening bew languages so they could reach people who speak that language with d gospel.

As Paul said in 1Corinthians 13:1-13, the gifts of speaking in tongues and other gifts of d holy spirit would pass away with time. This is because as d christian congregation was still in its baby or infant stage, extraordinary gifts of the spirit was needed to convince people of God's approval of the christian congregation but as time went by and it grew beyond the babe stage, the traits of babes has to be put way and as such these gifts are no longer required. They ve outlived their purpose.

Hence, we should not be arried away with all these fake pentecostal churches. Look at what d Bible says Matthew 7:21-23, 2Thessolonians 2:8-10

So your conclusion is that tongue speaking is no more relevant today because the whole world now speak the same language or pardon me we now have Goole translator? You are very funny.
Very soon Jesus himself will no longer be needed because we shall soon have modern Messiah (the Antichrist) and next is God because he too old fashioned and have modern guy with nice swagger( Devil) I think I know where you are coming from and where you are going.

I think I am dying, It all started in 2012, I had a terrible dream that night and ever since then, my life has not remained the same.

In 2012 I weighed 71kg but now I'm 48kg and I don't know when this will stop, every day I'm losing weight the more I try to eat the more I lose weight. I used to have really big muscles and thick thighs, I never slim fit my clothes, but now I can count all the bones on my chest, my hands have become so thin, all bones and no fat.

I have to wear long sleeves and trousers to hide my problem from the rest of the world- And its eating me deeply.
I can no longer engage in activities I find pleasurable, such as sports, running, swimming, working out etc. These where activities I could do before for lengthy hours I can barely do them now for three minutes without
getting super tired and all my body will ache for days afterwards.

I've spent all the money I have on treating myself at local clinics but nothing seem to be working.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS EATING MY MUSCLES AND FAT.

And its getting worse, Even though I've never had sex before in my life, yet I've gone for HIV test three times and it's always negative, I've done diabetes test several times and the docs said I'm not diabetic.

EVERY MONTH I KEEP LOSING WEIGHT, LIKE IN MAY I WAS 53KG BUT IN JULY I'M 49KG AND NOW IN AUGUST I'M 48KG.

GUYS I NEED HELP ADVICE OR ANYTHING TO HALT THIS UNINTENTIONAL WEIGHT LOSS.

I mean I eat at least four times a day and barely work hard. cos I'm a full time fiverr worker.

If things should progress at this rate I may end up with less than 30kg by December. And I dont want to die, I'm still in my late twenties.

1st do you believe there is a doctor whose specialization is in hopeless case? His name is JESUS. try him and thank me later.
Mind you if you want him to take up your case you must be ready to abide by His terms and conditions.
If you already know Him then go and ask His divine purpose for your life. I can bet it He will tell you.

I never touched my allawee, I didn't buy any clothes or even clubbed, I fed and lived on money I get from private lessons and the 5k Stipend my PPA give me, so that made me to save allawee and also the little I get from private lessons.

Right now I will be going into labor market and my heart is already beating fast.


The money isn't enough to even rent a shop and I don't know what to invest in, I don't want to go into network marketing cos even my 140k in Swiss Golden didn't come back to me and am so pained.

Please I need investment advise

Its too small to put into business. Except you already have a profitable one. I expect you save hundred k. Then set hundred apart to learn a top notched skill in coding, IT, and online Forex. Master those skills and become self employed while you are still searching for job. Shalom.

If you make a proposition that exists, then you are the one saddled with the responsibility to prove it. You can't tell to accept it first before it becomes true or apparent.
My own is to reject any ridiculous proposition that lacks proof.
For example, I cannot ask you to prove that the Sun exists because everything in our immediate solar system experiences the effects of sunlight or lack of it.
But this god you talk of, is created in your mind accordingly with the mental and intellectual configuration of your mind( the reason that there many religions and many gods).

Do you know that men in history killed themselves over the truth about solar system. Some opined that earth was flat and is the centre of solar sys. For centuries the truth still remain unchanged until men came to terms with it.
You are as limited as what you know and your perception.
You are wired to know the truth. Thats why your maker expects you to do because you can, except you choose not to do it.Shalom.

plaetton:
Again, let me put it to you.
Can belief and faith in Santa Claus or the ToothFairy make me experience either of these two supernatural entities ?
Is it the devil that is making you not see the truth of Santa or the ToothFairy ?

Is it also the lack of faith or the devil that robbed the former worshippers of Zeus , Ra , Apollo, etc, and made these supernatural entities wither away and die ?

Does having faith in something make that thing real ?
If so, what happened to all the dead and forgotten gods of history ? Lack of faith in them killed them ?

Do you now see how you have unwittingly made my argument for me ? That faith and belief sustains God, and without it, god is dead ( non-existent) ?

Yes that exactly what I am trying to say God does not exist because that's a fact you have chosen to believe but that's not necessarily the truth. The truth is independent of your belief system. But it is your responsibility to find out the truth, if you choose otherwise the consequence is better imagine than experienced. Best of luck.

plaetton:
With almost daily encounters with Christians out in the streets, on the buses and on airwaves, beckoning anyone who cares to listen to rely on god and accept Jesus, I have come to realize that today's popular religion s , particularly on account of their histories, that the middle East religions have been on permanent membership recruitment drive since their foundings.
In Islam ,for example, not believing in god or renouncing a belief in god can earn one a death sentence.

So, the simple and most important question we ask is :

Does god exist if No one believes in him ?

For the answer to that question, let's ask Zeus, Amen Ra, Ahura Mazda, Apollo , and other dead and forgotten gods whose corpses litter the streets of history.

The one single ingredient that brings a god, any god for that Matter , into existence is Faith.
Without belief/Faith gods have tended to wither and die.

Knowing this fact, the promoters and profiteers of today's religions have , over the millennia, set up many layers of self-defense and self-preservation mechanisms that keeps recruitment permanent, and attrition at the barest minimum.

God, like all imaginary friends , heroes , villains and monsters, ceases to exist the moment people stop believing .

.Without faith you, your spirit man is dead. Faith is what can make you experience God. I connects you with revelation which brings knowledge via experiences. As you what is living you is soul and body. That the state the devil want to put you so you will not the truth. Remember the truth is not a function of what you believe. What you believe is your choice.

Help, Trouble In My Marriage

Hello Nairalanders.

I have been married for a year and half. I thought hubby and i have been living happily and i would've swore he was faithful. A few days ago i saw that a random lady messaged him on Facebook and they got talking. I was shocked at first to see that he was chatting her up. Fast forward to yesterday I checked his phone and saw that himself and the lady had more conversation and what started as facebook chat had progressed from phone calls to whatsapp chat. The content of their chat seems they were eventually planning to hook up.

I confronted hubby but he wasn't remorseful and told me he doesn't owe me faithfulness and went on to sleep in the other room. Hubby and I pray together and are looking towards a very bright future together, this is not something i really saw coming from him. I am very troubled in my heart and pregnant for our first baby. He dozent feel any atom of pity that the whole issue might cause me problems and I have been wondering what has come over him. I am 100 percent faithful to my hubby and want the union to work out. I am at work typing and holding back tears. Please i need advise from mature people in the house, how do i deal with the situation. I am in my late 20s, he is in his late 30s.

There is something inherently wrong with him which you fail to know before marriage. one and half years is too short to get fed up with a marriage.
I think he need Christ.

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
From the scriptures, those who come to the throne of God are categorized into two:
those who come by the way of MERCY
those who come by the way of FAITHFULNESS.
Hence the following are the features of the two categories:
The MERCY group
a .They are not in total obedience 1Sam 15:22
b. They may be standing on faulty foundation. Psalm 11:13
c. They are having little or no divine knowledge. Hosea 4:6
d. They need to be persistent in asking. Luke 18:1
e. Their communication is mostly petition and pleas.
Mark 7:26-29
f. They are at the mercy of Gods sovereign prerogative Romans 9: 15-21
g. To obtain their request, they receive FAITH as GIFT of the SPIRIT, provided the GRACE available to them on the subject matter has not been exhausted. 1 Corinthians 12:9
h. All of us at one time or the other belong to this group

The FAITHFULNESS group
Operates in total or fundamental obedience. Exodus 19:5
They stand on solid foundation Luke 6:42, 1 Corinthian 3:11
They possess solid spiritual knowledge. John 3:10-11
They save time and prevent unnecessary delays. Luke 18:1
Their communication is mostly praises, coded (tongue speaking) and decrees. Job 22:28
God is bound by His word at their instance. Deuteronomy 7:9
The check card to obtain their request is the FAITH they exhibit as FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT. Galatian 5:22
We all must aspire to belong to this group.

Hello Nairalanders, I have been following a few thread on this forum for a while. I have learned a lot from the top builders and -commentators - u know yourselves". My question is that am starting to take a step into getting my own personal personal home..

I spent some time doing my own sketch using Chief Architect software from scratch- I came up with this plan here... So how much do you think will cost. Rough estimate

Building location - Akwa Ibom - Ikot Abasi all suggestions are highly welcomed. Thank you in advance

Cost is subjective.
I suggest you get the quantity first then go to local area to attach cost to that quantity.

Ibadan is dead


Brown roof Republic

Brown corrugated is better than thatched roof. Its a price we paid in the west to urbanize the east. The first dual carriage way road in Africa is in Ibadan and many more. If Ibadan had been allowed continued to grow at that rate, Dubai would have been humbled today.
Tell you what decay city is far better than python invested villages with tiny cassava roots. That's to tell you I know your terrain very well.

Let me give you a simple tip on flood.
1. Before you buy that land or rent that house.
Get a GPS enabled device e.g smart phone
Download GPS application.
Learn to use it.
Use it to check the altitude( height above the mean sea level of that location)
Any location below 50 meter is flood prone.
Be happy ever after.
