Crude as the method is, people are trying to survive. If you go round Nigeria looking for a Saint before you can help, I bet you, you won't find a single one. So just do what you must and let their conscientious judge them. That way, you would've taught them a lesson they won't quickly forget. None of us is truly righteous.

Nah, you're the one that is saying rubbish. It's about time you got rid of the religious shackles that has drained your sense of reasoning. It beats me how you still believe in such bullshit.

A sane person will advise the op to keep getting retroviral drugs which have been proven to be effective for his parents, not the rubbish you recommended.

Prayer does not stop you from taking your drugs or going to the hospital. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. I believe in Miracle.

damosky12:
It's ridiculous how you either twist the scripture to post a narrative that suits you or so ignorant of that God's word teaches.

That portion of scripture you quoted doesn't prove that God has a persona vendetta with wealthy people. Through scriptures, God had wealthy men.

Abraham, His friend, was wealthy.
Jacob was wealthy.
Joseph was wealthy.
David was wealthy.
Solomon was wealthy.
Job was wealthy.
Many many of God's people in the Old Testament were wealthy.

In the new testament, Joseph of Arimathea was wealthy.
Erastus was wealthy.
Barnabas was wealthy.
Many in the early church were rich!


Abusing a Bible verse to push a silly narrative would not suffice.

You can't build a doctrine on just one single passage, more so one single phrase which is misunderstood...



Mark 10:17-25
[17]And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
[18]And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
[19]Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
[20]And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
[21]Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
[22]And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
[23]And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
[24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that TRUST IN RICHES to enter into the kingdom of God!
[25]It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.



Apparently, the clarification here is what Mark supplies us. Jesus wasn't talking about the average rich man anywhere, but a rich man that trusts in His riches instead of trusting in God.

And that is a no-brainer. To trust in riches is to not trust in God. The Epistles also echo the same thought to rich Christians.

1 Timothy 6:17-18
[17]Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
[18]That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;


God is not against wealth. Wealth is a useful tool for His work on earth OBVIOUSLY. What is against God is to allow money to take God's place. That's what Jesus and His Apostles addressed.

shelve the OP's Bible confusion

Have you taken time to follow the Confession of Benny Hinn for the past few years and one recently? If you have to use every gimmick(exact word of Benny Hinn) to extract money from believers, are you not trusting in money rather that God? Some of these pastors pay hugely to these foreign pastors just to tap there anounting, Pay for there hotel rooms not to be clean in order to tap there grace. Is that not the gospel of Simon Mongus(money for anointing)? Benny Hinn coursin said they needed those money to fund their expensive life style. A pastor in Nigeria said he was denied from seeing benny hinn in his hotel, but when he mentioned the money he brought(about $700,000), they gave him express permission. Most of these pastors in Nigera are using Pastor Hinn style or sometimes they invite him to do it for them and they split the spoil. I pray that they will all come to the knowledge of the Truth.

Which Sanusi pls? I cant see the Sanusi we know in all the pictures.

In your mind, you think steven wonder is blind? Can you define blindness?
If you think he is blind, then you are of all men most miserable.

Mine was long ago. I was working in Benin city Airport. One guy who was friend to my boss, sells laptop. I told him i needed a laptop. The guy had another friend of his who also sells laptop too. They were both in the electronics business. Usually, he would asked the younger siblings of this his friend to steal there brother's laptops and bring it to him, that he will send them abroad since there brother refuse to help them. They have stollen several laptops to him and he had sold them promissing them visa and all that. Unknown to me, he will bring these two boys to the airport, they will seat in one corner and be pointing at me that i'm the one that is processing there visa and that very soon, they will be out of the country. So the two boys kept stealling there brothers laptop to this criminal minded guy. So, when i told him i needed laptop, he brought one. I paid in full, N110k. Two days latter, they caught the boys. Immediately, they went after this guy, and those boys said there is one guy in the airport that is processing there visa who he gave one laptop. Fortunately for me that very day, i was off duty. The police called me and asked me to bring the laptop to the station and for questioning. Fortunately for me again, the guy they have been stealing laptop from came to the station and said he doesn't have this kind of laptop brand they sold to me. But before he came to indentify the laptop, they had already asked me to remove my trousers. Only Boxers was on my waist. The floor was sticky. I met the guy that sold the laptop inside the cell too. He was so calm as if nothing was happening. My boss came around, spoke to one or two persons b4 they released me that same day at about 7.30pm after about 5-6hrs. It was not funny guys.

Please be mindful of that cool guy that comes around and play with everyone, even buy lunch for u sometimes. I'm speaking to someone right now.

God does not send anyone to hell. He only obeys our Choice. Choose rightly friends.

We carry this mystery in a earthen vessel. This vessel is affected by enviromental and emotional conditions. It has nothing do with what most of us think like secret sins, etc. A Minister of God must understand his body, when to eat, when to rest, when to go for break, when to go for check up, when to say sorry for my last teaching and apologies, when to cry, when to speak to someone etc. All these will lightened your emotional space and physical space. God is Good.

SoNature:
The truth is that this life is more complicated than most of us think. Blessings and curses are of the Lord. The Maker of the universe will decide whether to honour those words or not.

Very wrong. Curse is not of the Lord. Curse is from the wicked one, who came to steal, Kill and Destroy.
Our Lord Jesus Christ admonished us to pray even for our enemies. God is light. Curse is Darkness.

Are u thinking what I'm thinking? I think the Husband need to be thoroughly investigated here. He is the first culprit. I'm really sad by this news. Why didn't they just shut him instead of removing the pendant? My thought though, i might be wrong.

Impressive..

How lucrative is this kind of route? Another money laudering route opened.

Shaibu is a GONER, court cannot save him if he committed impeacheable offense. Just go and beg Obaseki and abandon your governorship ambition. It is the turn of Edo Central.

Is Obaseki supporting Edo central candidate?
