PoliticsBuhari Begs Court To Reject Atiku’s Claims Against Him by xtgozie(op): 7:44pm On Mar 08, 2019
The Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO), yesterday urged Justice Binta Mohammed of the High Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, to strike out a motion filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, seeking to compel President Muhammadu Buhari to pay him damages amounting to the sum of N200 billion.

The Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO), yesterday urged Justice Binta Mohammed of the High Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, to strike out a motion filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, seeking to compel President Muhammadu Buhari to pay him damages amounting to the sum of N200 billion.

Atiku’s demands are contained in his counter-claim in reaction to a N40 million libel suit filed by the Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) against him over an allegation that he defamed Buhari and his family.

The BCO argued before the court that Atiku’s counter-claim in which he challenged President Buhari’s capacity and performance in office as president can only be sustained in a separate suit.

The Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO), yesterday urged Justice Binta Mohammed of the High Court sitting in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, to strike out a motion filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, seeking to compel President Muhammadu Buhari to pay him damages amounting to the sum of N200 billion.



Atiku’s demands are contained in his counter-claim in reaction to a N40 million libel suit filed by the Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) against him over an allegation that he defamed Buhari and his family.

The BCO argued before the court that Atiku’s counter-claim in which he challenged President Buhari’s capacity and performance in office as president can only be sustained in a separate suit.

In opposition to Atiku’s counter claim, the BCO contended that Atiku cannot be heard in the instant suit it filed.



Rather, the BCO urged the former vice president to provide proof of evidence that President Buhari and members of his family own substantial shares in 9mobile and Keystone Bank.

Counsel to BCO, Barrister Abdulrazaq Ahmed, said rather than leaving the substance to tackle the trash with a motion seeking to address an entirely different matter from the substantive suit, Atiku must provide documentary evidence and proof of evidence to substantiate claims that President Buhari and his family acquired substantial shares in 9mobile and Keystone Bank with total assets of $1.916 billion (equivalent to N307.5 billion) as well as purchasing about N3 billion worth of shares in the new Pakistani Islamic Bank.

Mmlanrehh:
Peoples Democratic Party has garnered more votes in Surulere, Eti-Osa and Ojo Local Government areas in Lagos than All Progressives Congress in a keenly contested election.

Surulere is the base of former Governor of Lagos State Mr Babatunde Fashola and Mr Femi Gbajabiamila while Eti-Osa is the home of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro.

The PDP got 31,603 votes while APC had 30,621 in Surulere. At Eti-Osa PDP got 25,216 and APC had 20,962 votes.

Also at Ojo local government, PDP had 29,019 and APC got 24,333 votes.

But thus far, APC is still leading while more results from Alimosho, Amuwo-Odofin, Kosofe, Somolu and Ajeromi-Ifelodun are being awaited.

Christianity EtcBeing Justified Freely by xtgozie(op): 7:30am On Jan 27, 2019
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the
firmament: and it was so.
(Genesis 1:6~7)

Alone He Created the Heaven and the Earth

God began to work upon the earth while it was without form, void, and in deep darkness in Genesis chapter 1. “Let there be light.” “Let waters above the firmament divide from the waters below the firmament.” “Let the earth bring forth the herb yielding seed and the fruit-tree yielding fruit.” In this manner, God, by himself, created heaven and the earth.
A long time ago, a certain man, while working, went under a chestnut tree to take a nap. He lay down and thought, “Why did God have thick pumpkins borne on thin vines, and why did He have those little chestnuts born on such thick branches? If I were God, I would have chestnuts the size of pumpkins on chestnut trees so that it would take an entire family to eat one chestnut. On the other hand, I would make pumpkins the size of chestnuts on pumpkin vines,” and fell asleep. A long while afterwards, something hammered on his forehead, and he woke up shocked. A chestnut cluster had fallen on him and the thorns were piercing his forehead. Before he could take the thorns out of his forehead, he quickly knelt down and said,” God, thank you so much that chestnuts the size of pumpkins were not hanging on the tree. My head would have cracked open, and I would have died if a chestnut cluster as big as a pumpkin had fallen. . . .”
If you or I were next to God when He was creating the heaven and the earth, we probably would have had many suggestions, saying, “God, the mountains are too high. The ocean is too wide. Why would you want to make it so wide? The land should be wide.” “God, don’t make mice like animals. Why did you make snakes? You don’t need to make things like mosquitoes.”We would probably have nagged Him so much that God would not have been able to complete His creating. I guess God knew this because He made man after He completed the heaven and the earth.
Man did not participate in any way when God was creating the heaven and the earth; He alone created them. The heaven and the earth were created in Genesis chapter 1. After man was created at the end of chapter1, there are scenes of man at work in chapter3. The first thing man did was go against God and eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. If God had created the heaven and earth together with man, who would rebel this way, what would have happened? This is why God did not collaborate with man in the important work of creating the heaven and the earth. He did it all Himself.



The Work of the Prodigal Son and the Work of the Father

God also did not collaborate with man to accomplish the great, amazing work of salvation, but achieved salvation without the power of man.
I was once reading Luke, and there were many interesting facts. One of them was that the work of Jesus and the work of man are always differentiated in Luke. Everything man did ended in failure: the story of the younger son going to a faraway country and failing in the story of the prodigal son; the story of a certain man going from Jerusalem to Jericho and failing; the story of the failed effort to build a tower, and so on. Such stories show that every work of man has failed. On the contrary, all works of Jesus are recorded to have succeeded beautifully.
The story of the prodigal son also differentiates between the work of the son and the work of the father. The son represents us, and the father represents God. The younger son takes his wealth into a faraway country in this story and lives riotously; he sins with harlots, runs out of money, and becomes a pig herder. His entire body is covered in pig dung; he stinks, and is on the verge of starving to death. The younger son one day realizes that he would ultimately die if he continues living this way and returns to the father. While he was a great way off, the father saw him, had compassion, and ran, fell on his neck, and kissed him. The son said, “Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.” But the father said to the servants, “Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And kill the fatted calf and prepare for a feast.”
In this manner, the work of the son and the work of the father are clearly differentiated in the story of the prodigal son. No matter how much the son tries to become clean while he is in the pig pen, the more he labors, the more filthy, pitiful, and hungry he becomes. The father, on the other hand, worked as soon as the son returned.
“What are you doing? Quickly heat the bath water. Bring out the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his hand. Put shoes on his feet. Kill the fatted calf.”
Because the father is at work, the son’s dirty clothes are taken off. He is made clean, full, and glorious. Spiritual life is like this.

Upon Discovering Your True Image

Before I realized this precious word of God, I labored to become clean and not sin in the same way the younger son labored while he was in the pig pen. While attending church, I strained to faithfully keep the law and stand before God with my head held high. But just as the younger son became filthier and hungrier the more he labored in the pig pen, I felt that my life was falling deeper and deeper into sin.
One day, I acknowledged a certain truth:”Ah, I’m impossible.” By the grace of God, I was able to recognize myself. Before this, I regarded myself as a person who believed in God, who was good, and intelligent. On the contrary, when seen through the eyes of God, I was able to discover a completely different me.
“I am too filthy! I am so evil! I live like an idiot! Now it is impossible for me to keep the law and become clean!”
After realizing this, my belief in myself vanished. Before, I always thought, “But I’ll be fine as long as I pray hard. From this New Year, I’m going to make up my mind not to commit sin and live properly. Then, I’ll be fine.” But as I discovered that I was not wise, but evil and filthy, I could no longer believe in myself. When I denied myself, Jesus, amazingly entered into my heart immediately. Before, I had believed in myself and I could not accept anything different from my own thoughts. But when I came to distrust myself and stepped down from the throne in the kingdom of my heart, I was able to receive the word of God into my heart even if it was different from my thoughts. After realizing that it is impossible to come to God through zealously praying, reading the Bible, keeping the law, and doing good deeds, Jesus began to work inside of me.
The younger son did not want to go before his father in filthy rags. No matter what it took, he wanted to stand before his father a little cleaner, a little neater. But that did not happen. He realized that it was impossible and had no choice but to go before his father in the evil and filthy condition he was in. The younger son returned to his father exactly the way he was. Now, as far as the younger son was concerned, there was nothing more to be done.
When the younger son reached the limits of his own labor and realized that there was nothing he could do, he returned to his father. And from then on, the father began to work. Amazing things happened as the father worked. The younger son could not become clean no matter how hard he tried. But at his father’s words, his dirty clothes were removed, he bathed, and the best clothes were put on him. There was a ring put on his hand, shoes put on his feet, and he ate as much as he wanted at the feast that was prepared with the fatted calf. To have the younger son lack nothing as his son, the father made the younger son exactly like himself.

Through the Work of Jesus
Spiritual life is not us doing something so we can go to heaven. People know spiritual life in reverse. They think that it is they who must keep the law, obey God’s word, do good deeds, and be faithful to God. They think God will see these things, be pleased, and receive them. But there is not a single person who can come to God in this manner. The father worked when the younger son gave up on himself. You cannot see the work of God as long as you are trying to do the work. When you give upon yourself, realizing that you incapable of doing good, and that you cannot keep the law, God begins to live and work inside your heart.
God must do the work of cleansing us. I will read from Romans chapter 3, verse 10.
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: there is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Everything man does is evil. That is why inverse 23, we arrive at,
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Up to verse 23, we see that everyone has sinned and cannot reach the glory of God with what they have done. It means that man could never stand before God with the results of what man has done. No matter how good, how beautiful, or how honest they are, the results of what man has done cannot attain to God.
Then in verse 24 it says, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. It means that not by the work of man, but through the work of Jesus, Being justified freely by his grace.
Verse 23 is the result of man’s attempt: that man cannot stand before God because man has sinned. Verse 24 is saying that man has become righteous through the work of Jesus, and can stand boldly before God. We have these two ways before us. If you are going before God relying on what you have done, you are verse 23. If you go that way, you have sinned no matter how much good you may have done, and you can never reach the glory of God. On the other hand, if you rely solely on the work of Jesus, and not on what you have done, you can boldly go before God because Jesus has cleansed and sanctified you.
The work of God is displayed in Genesis chapter 1. Because God works, the earth which was without form and void, changed into a beautiful paradise where the flowers bloom, fruits are borne, and birds sing. After wards, in Genesis chapter 3, we see that man begins to fall into sin as he begins to work. The Bible says,The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. . . .(Jeremiah 17:9) That is why deceitful and wicked things are bound to appear more and more as man tries harder and harder to be good. But now, Jesus begins to work. The blood Jesus shed on the cross washed all of our sins as white as snow. No matter what sin you may have committed; what evil you may have done; what wrong you may have done; all of those sins have passed onto Jesus. Jesus was punished on the cross for all of your sins, and all of your sins have been washed away.

Could Not Be Left to Remain Dirty

Let’s talk about this again. The results of what we have done are sinfulness, curse, and destruction. But, the work of God cleanses, justifies, and sanctifies us, who are this way. No matter how much you sin, there is no sin Jesus cannot wash away. No matter what pit you have fallen into, there is no pit Jesus cannot deliver you from. And no matter what binds you, there is no rope Jesus cannot loosen. Jesus delivered us perfectly from sin. He was crucified and cleansed us of all sins. That is what Romans chapter 3, verse 24 is telling us.
Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
We have not been justified through ourselves, but through Jesus. All I have ever done was commit sin and done evil deeds, but Jesus cleansed me.
When the prodigal son returned to his father’s house in his dirty and filthy condition, wearing dung covered rags, the father could not leave his son in the dirty condition he was in. That is why the father cleansed the son. The father made the son so holy, clean, and glorious that the son would lack nothing when he was presented at the feast.
This is it! Everyone, we, like the younger son, have committed sin and have done evil. We are dirty humans who sin everyday. God could not seat us at the feast table in this dirty, filthy condition we are in. So what did God do? He sent His son, Jesus Christ, and cleansed and sanctified us. In order that we may stand before God absolutely flawless, Jesus washed our sins as white as snow, purified us, and justified us. This was not done through our effort or work.
Two things are before you. What you have done and what God has done. What we have done is commit dirty, filthy, evil sins. If we look to what we have done, there is no one who can say that he is clean and righteous. “I’m filthy! Evil! Dirty!” If you are looking at yourself, no matter who you are, that is all you can say. But if we look to what Jesus has done; Jesus has washed our dirty sins as white as snow, so that we may lack nothing in standing before God.

What Will You Believe?

Now, everyone, what will you believe? Will you believe in what you have done, and insist upon that, or will you believe in what Jesus has done? It is true that you have sinned. It is true that you have done filthy, dirty, lustful, and deceitful things. But regardless of what sin you may have committed, is there a sin that cannot be washed by the blood Jesus shed on the cross? None whatsoever. The Lord washed all of our sins clean at the cross and has forever purified us. I don’t know how it appears to you, but in the eyes of God, we all are righteous.
Through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Jesus bore our sins in our stead, and saved us through being crucified, Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God sees us and says that we are righteous. This is the gospel of God! This is the promise of God!
I had more sins than anyone else. Just as Apostle Paul said, “. . . sinners; of whom I am chief,” I too was surely a human who committed evil, dirty sins. But I was justified. It was not through my effort and good deeds, but I have gained holiness because all of my sins have been washed away through the death, the crucifixion, of Jesus.

Now, Believe in Jesus!

Man did not work while God was working in Genesis chapter 1. When they were in need of wine at the wedding in Cana, in John chapter 2, no one worked but Jesus alone. When the many people who had gathered to hear the words of Jesus needed bread, Jesus worked. It was also Jesus who worked when the man with an in firmity for 38 years was lying down.
Everyone, make everything that you have done into nothing, and believe in Jesus. I hope that you will receive into your heart what Jesus has done. What we have done is all evil, but the work Jesus has done has made us holy and righteous.
There is no man in Genesis chapter 1.God did not collaborate with man when He was creating the heaven and the earth. He did it all himself. God does not borrow the strength of man when He saves us from sin. Jesus alone was crucified and has perfectly accomplished the work of washing away our sins forever. That is why there is no need whatsoever to add what we have done to this salvation, which was perfectly achieved by Jesus. If we add something to what Jesus has done, it is totally wrong. All we do is simply receive, by faith, what Jesus has done: how He perfected, sanctified, and purified us.
Now, do not say that you are a sinner according to your thoughts. Glorify God for what He has done. Say, “I was truly a filthy, dirty sinner, but Jesus has purified and sanctified me. I believe this fact that is written in the Bible,” and have faith. That faith will make you into a person who lacks nothing in standing before God.

PoliticsPHOTOS: Fg’s Lobby Fails As Atiku Arrives America by xtgozie(op): 10:49am On Jan 18, 2019
The intense lobby by the federal government to get the United States to deny the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, visa eventually collapsed Thursday as the main opposition party’s torch bearer landed at Washington Dulles International Airport last night.

He was received by his associates and the Diaspora supporters.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, had at the hint of the US granting Atiku visa last year, cautioned the Americans not to contemplate the gesture as it might give the impression that the foreign power is supportive of the opposition party’s candidate.

For the federal government, he said that might mean interference in the internal affairs of Nigeria as the general election was a few months away then.

Atiku’s visit to the US, an apparent diplomatic and political blow to the All Progressive Congress’ President Muhammadu Buhari, would appear to have undermined a major campaign plank of the ruling party that had made a heavy weather of the inability of the former vice president to secure visa since leaving office in 2007.

Rain began to beat the federal government and the APC when Atiku’s former boss and president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, mended fences with him towards the end of last year and promised to help Atiku regain power.

Atiku’s eventual receipt of the visa, diplomatic sources told THISDAY last night, had not only the imprint of Obasanjo but also indicated loss of confidence in the Buhari administration by the US.

Confirming the visit Thursday, Atiku’s media aide, Mr. Paul Ibe, said in a statement that his boss arrived the US at 22.20 hours (14.20 hours Washington DC time).

According to him, the former vice president was accompanied by the Director General of his campaign and Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and former governor of Ogun State, Chief Gbenga Daniel, and would meet with US government officials.

Ibe said Atiku on Wednesday met with the business community in Lagos at an interactive session to unveil his plans to get Nigeria working again.

According to him, “Thursday morning, he left Abuja accompanied by the DG of PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation and Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki for the United States.

“Atiku will in the course of his trip hold meetings with US government officials, the business community and the Nigerian community. He will return to the country on Saturday.”

Sources close to the visit told THISDAY last night that Atiku had informal meetings with business groups and some state officials, shortly after arrival and would be meeting with Congress and State Department officials Friday.

Among others, Atiku is slated to meet later today with Chairman, Senate Committee on Africa, Senator Jeff Flake, and the Assistant Secretary of State for Africa, Ambassador Tibor Nagy.


US Senate Condemns Effort to Politicise Security and Law Enforcement Agencies

Meanwhile, the United States Senate has warned the federal government against using security agents to fight perceived political opponents during the general election.

This is even as it cautioned against vote buying, saying only credible, transparent and safe general election would further consolidate the democratic gains achieved by the country since transition from military to civilian rule.

In its new Senate resolution introduced by a ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Bob Menendez, Thursday, it said while it was supporting democratic processes in the country, the Nigerian government must take necessary steps to facilitate elections that are credible, transparent and peaceful.

Menendez said the US Senate has also observed that successive elections in Nigeria have featured varying degrees of violence, adding that there have been deeply concerning instances of hate speech in Nigeria by members of both the ruling coalition and the opposition inciting supporters to ethnic violence to gain electoral advantage, intimidate electoral rivals or suppress voter turnout.

He said, “We also observed that during the Ekiti and Osun gubernatorial elections in July 2018 and September 2018 respectively, there were concerning incidents in which some elements of Nigeria’s security agencies displayed partisanship and lack of objectivity, which risks escalating tensions within the country.”

Nigeria’s presidential and National Assembly elections are scheduled for February 16, 2019, while the gubernatorial and state assembly elections are scheduled for March 2, 2019.

Menendez, who introduced the resolution, said, “I, along with a bipartisan group of senators, am introducing this resolution to let the Nigerian people know that the United States Senate is watching the conduct of all actors participating in the February elections.

“The 2015 elections were a watershed in Nigeria’s democratic evolution, resulting in the first peaceful transfer of power between political parties in Nigerian history. Nigerians rightfully expect this year’s elections to further consolidate those gains.

“I am calling on all participants – including the candidates, the security forces and political party activists -to do their utmost to ensure that the elections are peaceful, and meet Nigerian, African, and international standards for the conduct of credible democratic elections,” he added.

He added that the conduct of these elections would have a significant impact on the United States-Nigeria bilateral relationship for years to come, stressing that he stands with the people of Nigeria in their aspirations for a peaceful, democratic election process and an outcome that truly reflects the will of the people.

Among the senate resolutions on the general election in Nigeria are that it condemns in strongest terms the use of hate speech and incitement to violence, and refrain from any rhetoric or action that seeks to demonise or delegitimise opponents, sow division among Nigerians, or otherwise inflame tensions

He called on the government to refrain from deploying security forces in partisan manner and ensure that security services maintain the highest level of professionalism and impartiality in facilitating the electoral process, enable accredited observers and journalists to perform their work, and protect the rights of citizens to exercise their votes freely.

Samuel Allardyce, former Bolton Wanderers manager has rated ex-Super Eagles of Nigeria’s captain, Austin Jay Jay Okocha above Portuguese and Juventus star, Cristano Ronaldo.
Allardyce said in the current generation of footballers, there has never been a player like Okocha.
Okocha joined Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer after leaving PSG in the summer of 2002 after the FIFA World Cup while Allardyce was in charge of the English side.
He steered the team away from relegation with seven goals, including the team Goal of the Season in the vital league win against West Ham United same year.
Allardyce in his new book entitled Big Sam’s Autobiography said he could watch the ex-Super Eagles star play all day.
He wrote, “I love Jay-Jay’s tricks on the ball, I could watch him all day… He could do drag-backs, flick-overs, double step-overs, there’s been no else like him, not even Cristiano Ronaldo.”

A BIBLE STUDY BY OLAMIDE OBIRE

Believers, remember when the Angel of the Lord (Christ Himself) appeared to Moses "in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush"(Exodus 3.) Moses got curious at the sight of the bush that was burning with fire yet was not consumed and said “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” But the Lord called him from the midst of the bush and told him not to draw near. See verses 5-6:

"Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” 6 Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God."

Believers, in Christ, our case is different! We have full and unfettered access to our Abba Father. In Him, we get to enter the Holiest with boldness. See Hebrews 10-

19 "Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."

Unlike Moses who was told not to draw near and was afraid, because of Christ's finished work of saving us, we get to "draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water."

An evil conscience is one that toils over the guilt of sin. The one with an evil conscience does not believe that Christ's obedience has made him righteous in the sight of God so his heart is constantly in turmoil from the burden of guilt that Christ gave Himself to free us from. Christ sets free from this evil conscience.

See the MSG version: "So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into “the Holy Place.” Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of His sacrifice, acting as our Priest before God. The “curtain” into God’s presence is His body. So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out. Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps His word."

In Christ, we get to enter into the Holy of Holies without fear of judgment or death because Christ took our place on the cross; in Him, we are not under Law but under Grace! So let's draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience as we call Him by His Name- "THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." Believer, we are in His days that Jeremiah spoke of:

"In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." Jeremiah 23:6

Christianity EtcRe: Grace Is Not Enough by xtgozie(m): 1:16pm On Aug 12, 2018
This, for sure is the Gospel [ (Good News
)

alBHAGDADI:
Stop spreading lies.

Grace is all you need. As long as you believe in Jesus Christ and his sacrifice, you can never lose your salvation. There's nothing you can do to save yourself, not even living a righteous life. Salvation is as easy as believing in Jesus Christ. The hard part has been done by Jesus on the cross. Saying you need to contribute to it is the same as saying that God didn't provide a perfect sacrifice for the salvation of mankind.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.


Your righteous life is just for reward here and in heaven. This doesn't mean you should continue living in sin. You could get punished for that here on Earth. But depending on your righteousness to get you to heaven is wrong.

Isaiah 64:6

But we are all as an unclean thing , and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Look at Cain and Abel. Cain thought if he worked hard by tilling them soil and sowing fruits which he will present to God, his sacrifice will be accepted; he depended on his works. But Abel sacrificed a lamb to God and was accepted. Why? Because he depended on the Blood which was like a forerunner of the blood of Jesus Christ.

If you are depending on your righteousness to get you to heaven, then you might end up in hell. Depending on Jesus Christ is what saves you. That is Grace which is sufficient.

2 Corinthians 12:19

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

The men below did works but Jesus still rejected them because they were depending on their works to save them.
Mathew 7:22-23

Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?'
Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
Christianity EtcRe: Share Your Most Inspiring Testimonies by xtgozie(m): 1:28pm On Jul 01, 2018
I was born into a Pentecostal Family, where mom and dad will always want us to leave as the scriptures had directed. Being the first child much of the exemplary was expected to beam from me, and I did try my best.
From the age of five, I have already known the books in the Bible, cramming lots of the verses in the Bible. I as I grew in age I was faced with the challenge to lead a life free from sin. All that I could achieve was populrtlity amongst my peers and church members, but yet deep down in my heart I don't have a 100% assurance that I'm getting it right!

Although, I tried all I was taught as a Christian to be righteous, yet I can't say without hesitation that I'm righteous. This troubled me a lot, because I know between my creator and I, there was know right standing! I don't have a girlfriend, I don't lie I don't steal I don't do anything they warned us against, that are sin. Yet I don't have the assurance of salvation.

When I grew much older in my twenties, I felt all the alter calls, all the prayers for forgiveness became a routine, despite the fact I don't commit sin. To cut the long story short. In January 2003, I met A Ghanaian missionary from South Korea. He engaged me on a soul searching talk. I came along with my KJV bible. He started by asking me "are you righteous". To be sincere, I said no irrespective of my clean slate, fasting tithing, generosity, prayers, and more!

He told me it's not my fault to be a sinner! That I'm not a sinner by choice, but buy nature! Even though I haven't done or not doing things that are against the 10 commandments, my nature has condemned me already (Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned)
He went on to show me my problem that I have been trying to be made right with God through keeping the commandments ( Galatians 3:10 But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all the commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law.)
He went on to say I can't be justified through my prayers for forgiveness forgiveness, because God can't here me because I'm a son of the sinful nature of Adam:( John 9:31 We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but he is ready to hear those who worship him and do his will.)..... Then I was left witaathe question, what then is the way.
He opened John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!, he asked me, is there still sin I the world?, I said no! He said that's through because, the Bible said in John 19:30 When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and released his spirit.... That my sins has finished, none is left. That this is the only faith that can save me John 3:16-18---16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

18 “There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son.

Right there and then I got my salvation. For it was never of him that wills or of him that runs, but it was of God who showed me mercy that day.

CelebritiesRe: Daddy Freeze Defends Linda Ikeji's Pregnancy With Biblical Backings by xtgozie(m): 7:11pm On May 26, 2018
alBHAGDADI:
Your blindness and love for wrong things has enable tircksters like Freeze to deceive you and your kind easily. Look at the way he is convienently quoting the LAW to back Linda Ikeji and her wrong ways. That is the same LAW he is accusing Daddy GOs of using to deceive people to collect tithe from them. He is now using the same law to soothe himself cos it involves a friend of his, Linda Ikeji.

He even quoted a law of Moses in the old testament to back up his claims. We are no more under the law cos we have been bought from it with the Blood of Jesus. If the law required that a man can have sex with a woman he is betrothed to, such is now a sin in the age of grace which God gave us the moment Jesus Christ died and resurrected.

Romans 7:6

But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.



If Freeze can conveniently quote a portion of the law when it soothes him, then he should also apply the below verse to himself as he is currently sleeping with another man's wife who is not yet divorced.

Leviticus 20:10

"'If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death.


Look at the way he cunning twisted the meaning of sexual immorality and called it harlotry. In his clever mind, all those that translated the Greek word to mean sexual immorality in all Bible translations are wrong, he is the only one right. And some freaks will believe him on this. grin

He even boldly claims Jesus Christ and his Disciples didn't change the Jewish marriage customs which is grounded in the LAW of Moses. If he said betrothed couples who are not yet married can have sex, then can he explain what the below verse is saying when it said ''to avoid sexual immorality, each man should have his own WIFE which means marriage, not get betrothed to have sex''?


1 Corinthians 7:2
But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband
.


The JEWISH LAW might allow betrothed couples to have sex till they get married, but we Christians are not under such laws as explained by the above verse. We are not under Judaism. We are under the law of Christ. We are Christians. Imagine how useless ladies will become if they were still under the LAW. Once a man is tired of having sex with his betrothed lady, he will just dump her and move to get betrothed to another one. That means ladies will now be passed around pretty much like what we see today. But Jesus has freed us from such archaic ways by telling us to flee from sexual immorality. The Church doesn't practice betrothal. Neither has it ever preached sex between engaged couples. It only preaches sex in marriage and that those who are not married should flee sexual immorality which is clearly premarital sex, while married couples should flee from adultery.

Hebrew 13:14

4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.


1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body


1 Thessalonians 4:3-5

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;


Notice how the below verse advises marriage before one can have sex if he or she cannot exercise control.

1 Corinthians 7:8-9
To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.
You know nothing.... you are twisted.


You can never understand the scriptures with logic.

Grace is different from the law you keep.
In your heart you lost after someone, but appeared Pius outside, because you didn't go ahead with your heart desires.
God has already judge your heart.
Christianity EtcRe: I Have Been Born Again For Over 100 Times... Pls Help A Brother by xtgozie(m): 3:30pm On Dec 17, 2017
Confessing your sins, and trying to stop sin will not help anyone get his or her sins forgiving.

Salvation is a gift, and it is only few that found it. Many have tried to stop sin and be made right with God through stopping, lies, funication, stealing, etc. we have been taught to keep the law ( 10 commandment), but that is not true, because the law ( 10 commandment), was introduced so that sin will be much (Romans 5:20).
There is a a way which is hidden, and will only be revealed to whom He (God) choose, because he will have mercy to whom he will have mercy.
