@Tekanomo_ Good Morning Sir. I am a Petroleum engineer a recent graduate with IWCF certifications and BOISET, if you have any info about such I will really appreciate
If you actually understand what you believe in, you won’t even want to debate an atheist to start with.
What’s the purpose of the debate?
Do you think you can win in a logical argument?
The evidence for what you believe is faith! Faith is enough. You choose to believe and owe no one any explanation.
Even Jesus does not expect you to do the convincing. That’s the responsibility of the Holy Spirit, and the sinner then needs to make a choice to believe. This is what makes them saved.
The whole argument is that there is an alternate reality that is beyond the natural and requires extraordinary knowledge to even comprehend that reality. This is why you need faith. You need to believe because you can’t know it with your ordinary mind. If you can know it, you won’t need faith.
So when you sit next to someone who does not acknowledge this alternate reality, how do you intend to explain it?
How do you explain something you don’t even know?
If we want to follow how Jesus himself explained it, when you preach and people repent, it is not because of how you explained it, but because they were convinced by the Holy Spirit and decided to accept this alternate reality in blind faith. It is their own faith and the grace of God that saved them, not you.
You’re nothing. So what are you trying to do in an argument with an atheist?
Some of you don’t even understand what you believe in!
It’s not that we don’t know how to crash out and win a fight,
But our fellowship with the Spirit is stronger the desire to be right.
Having the fruit of the Spirit doesn’t mean you’ll never feel anger,
It just means your anger will not become your master.
You should not be poor and be powerless.
All of us will not have the wealth that is called jenjelos but we must all have power.
That cannot be negotiated.
And it is prayer that makes power available.
Pray long. Pray hard. Pray for power.
At least if you don’t have silver and gold, have something that you can give someone in need.
You should not be broke everywhere.
We need to stop selling “classism” in the church.
Somebody who came to church to learn Jesus and what it takes to be like Him, should not leave feeling bad about their economic status, as though they are less for having less.
You’re feeding off the people you talk down. You didn’t build any business yourself on your own, but the platform you were given to teach people made you visible enough.
And what you didn’t gain by the contribution of these same people, you gained on the basis of the visibility you have with them.
Some of the people you call “poor”, if they stood before people weekly as you’re privileged to do, would that visibility & influence not similarly enable them to make more as you?
Was your assignment to use God’s people to promote your personal progress…much more step on them afterwards?
You’ve become rappers who brag about money to the actual fans who made them rich in the first place by purchasing their music.
What are we even doing?
What happened to “A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things that he has.”
Meanwhile the Bible has more to say on the deceitfulness of riches and the extra need for carefulness than it says about the exact state you are teaching people to despise.
Who says that Money is what makes Christians truly influential and everyone that has much of it is automatically wise?
Was it money that the Lord, and His Apostles used to “turn the world upside down” in the book of Acts?
If riches are merely a tool, why glorify being rich as the goal?
Were you yourself saved by some lofty Governmental policy, or by people with tracts and a microphone.
How much money do you even have that is making you think you’re adding more value than the next person?
Does God reward people on the areas of assignment He did not give them, or He judges what they did with what He assigned them?
The classism is crazy and needs to stop. If we don’t fix ourselves it’s the people who should be learning from us that will eventually be used to correct us.
TAKE NOTE OF THR FOLLOWING JUST IN CASE!!!!!!
When you want you to write a statement at the POLICE station or EFCC or law enforcement office;
1. Don't leave blank spaces, cross a line over any blank space left once you are done.
2. Remember to put full stop once you are done writing and sign at the front of that full stop.
3. If you are forced to write a statement against yourself.
DON'T WORRY, at the signature part.
Just add UD as part of your signature (meaning under Duress)
4. It is not a WAEC answer sheet where you must fill up all the page, write what you know only and cross line on the space remaining.
5. Don't agree to write a statement when your lawyer or someone you trust is not there.
If they force you to write, remember (number 3 point.)
6. Avoid answering unnecessary questions when your lawyer is not there.
You have the right to remain silent, cos anything you say can be used against you in court
7. If POLICE send you invitation during weekend, try tell dem say you go show face on Monday as you are out of town for now, cos they will probably detain you till Monday before they can transfer you to court if the matter is the one the type they need to transfer to court
8. Don't forget to share this p0st
9. Sign on every page of the paper, not just the final page
10. If there is a mistake when writing, cross it out cleanly, write the correction, and place your initials directly beside the alteration.
Happy taco Tuesday 🎉
"I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" - Galatians 2:21
I think hearing this verse was the first time I really understood Christianity as being about God's grace and mercy, not laws and commandments.
While it is good to live well and do no evil, nothing I/we will ever do will be enough, and the grace is given in ways and reasons beyond my/our comprehension and control.
I experienced a miracle that day that had to make the point clear. Not by power of might. Not by righteousness or obeying laws. It is all by grace.
Suffering the most humiliating form of death and overcoming it by resurrection was to show us that there is nothing that grace cannot overcome.
Studying the scripture is one thing; understanding it is another. I heard that verse from a devotional, and it made me realize that Christianity is also about a life of study and learning.
All the prayers, novenas, and rosary sessions (which are necessary for meditation and discipline) could not have revealed this to me without study.

In any relationship, there will be frightening spells in which your feelings of love dry up. And when that happens you must remember that the essence of marriage is that it is a covenant, a commitment, a promise of future love. So what do you do? You do the acts of love, despite your lack of feeling. You may not feel tender, sympathetic, and eager to please, but in your actions you must BE tender, understanding, forgiving and helpful. And, if you do that, as time goes on you will not only get through the dry spells, but they will become less frequent and deep, and you will become more constant in your feelings. This is what can happen if you decide to love.
Before marrying a woman,
I asked a wise and experienced marriage counselor what I should REALLY look for in a wife.
I expected him to say:
No tattoos
Doesn’t party
Doesn’t drink
Low body count
No guy friends
But instead, he told me this:
You bought the house for ₦500 million. Congratulations! Now meet your new landlord: the estate management company.
And service charge is only one part of the conversation.
Take electricity.
The Band A electricity tariff has been ₦209.50 per kWh. Yet in some estates in Lekki and its environs, residents reportedly pay upwards of ₦350 per kWh for electricity supplied through the estate's power arrangement.
You spend hundreds of millions of naira to buy a house. But you may discover that you cannot simply deal directly with the electricity distribution company like an ordinary homeowner. Electricity is supplied through the estate's infrastructure and management arrangement, and you buy your power from or through the estate management company at a significantly higher effective tariff.
So you own the house, but you don't necessarily have complete freedom over something as basic as how you power it.
Electricity is just one example.
There may be compulsory charges for water, sewage treatment, security, waste disposal, cleaning, landscaping, maintenance of common areas, recreational facilities and general facility management. Some of these services are obviously necessary. My problem is not with paying for services. My problem is being locked into expensive services, with little control over the provider, the price or how the money collected is spent.
Interestingly, some estate residents are beginning to challenge these arrangements.
I was in court recently in a matter involving an estate where the residents' association had terminated the services of the existing estate management company following complaints, including alleged failure to properly account for service charges collected over the years. The residents proceeded to constitute their own management structure.
Before buying the house, investigate who will control the estate after the developer has sold the houses.
This is because the business model in some developments does not necessarily end with selling you the property.
A developer acquires land, develops an estate and sells the individual houses. You receive your deed or other title documentation transferring the relevant interest in the property to you. But alongside the property documentation may be an estate management agreement, deed of covenant or similar arrangement regulating how the estate will be managed.
And sometimes the management company is affiliated with the developer.
The developer has made money from selling the houses, but an affiliated company may continue earning revenue from the same homeowners through service charges, electricity, water and other estate services for years afterwards.
There is nothing inherently wrong with that. The problem arises where the arrangement effectively converts homeowners into what I call "upgraded tenants."
You have bought the property, but somebody else may still determine who supplies your electricity, how much you pay for it, how your water is supplied, what services you must subscribe to, what annual service charge you pay and, depending on the contractual structure, how easily residents can replace the management company.
This is why anyone buying property in a managed estate should:
Read the estate management agreement.
Read the deed of covenant.
Ask who owns the management company.
Ask how long its appointment lasts.
Ask how it can be removed.
Ask who determines the service charge.
Ask whether residents approve the annual budget.
Ask whether the accounts are independently audited.
Ask whether electricity and water are compulsory.
Ask whether you can install solar or a borehole.
Ask what happens if you refuse a particular service.
Because paying ₦300 million, ₦500 million or ₦1 billion for a house is one thing. Discovering afterwards that you have bought yourself into an expensive management arrangement that will make you end up as an upgraded tenant is another.

Christians in Nigeria should realise that with God on our side, we can do so much from the "little spaces" we occupy.
If we raise men and women who cannot be bribed,
Men and women who fear God more than they fear poverty,
Men and women who take their regular lives and jobs as a worship to Christ.
It was "just a female lecturer" who insisted that the Abia elections were not going to be compromised.
Just one Police officer whom wicked men cannot buy will thwart and frustrate the schemes of evil powers.
Who would have known that Dora Akinyuli would achieve so much for the health of the nation because she couldn't be threatened into cowardice.
We don't need to occupy the biggest offices,
Our influence isn't in the size of the office; it's in the purity of our lives and in our allegiance to our King!
FEAR GOD o!
There really is no context where it is biblically accurate to say "Jesus is not better than the believer."
Jesus as the head of the church, for instance, is not an exact parallel to husband as head of the wife. Both the husband and the wife are creatures. But both Jesus and the church are not creatures. Jesus exists by the necessity of His own being. The parallel therefore, though incredibly illuminating, has colossal limitations.
No matter how you situate our relationship with Jesus, one critical difference is that whatever (attribute) Jesus gives or even shares with us, He has such attribute necessarily, but we have it contingently. Read it again.
Secondly, Jesus may give me His righteousness, yet I cannot transmit it to others, but He continues to be the only one who can transmit it. So, you see, righteousness in me is not an exact mirror of righteousness in Jesus. Also, righteousness in Jesus is not merely a status. It is exhaustive. Jesus' righteousness means that He can not do (I don't mean He will not do, but I mean He can not do) anything wrong, because His righteousness is not just a legal status. It is not imputed. Righteousness is grounded in His beign. I hope you know what that means. The believer however CAN do things that are unrighteous, even though she is legally righteous. So, while righteousness exists in both cases, they are not identical in every sense. More, Jesus is the explanation of the believer's righteousness, and yet the same Jesus is the explanation of His own righteousness.
Thirdly, I need Jesus to sustain whatever I receive from Him. I continue to need Him to keep me in His righteousness, in His grace, in eternal life, etc. If Jesus were to leave me at any point (blessed assurance, He will not), I will lose everything He has imputed to me. He upholds all things. I don't. I stand because He is able to keep and continues to keep me. He has no keeper. No one sustains Him in eternal life, or in righteousness. His righteousness does not need any support to stay intact. Mine needs to be sustained. It is wrong therefore to say His righteousness is NOT better than mine. More, I think it is meaningless to say so.
Besides, according to scripture, the root and the branches are not the same simply because they both share in a common life (sap). As Paul said in his Roman correspondence, "remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you." If you are being upheld by another – one who is self-sufficient and needs no upholding – it is both inaccurate and irresponsible to say your Supporter is not better than you, particularly with reference to the very attribute by which he holds you up.
It is also sloppy to say because Jesus is our righteousness, and our sanctification, He is therefore not better than us. That same passage says He is our Wisdom. Is Jesus better than us in wisdom or not? If you say 'Jesus is not more righteous than me,' can you say 'Jesus is not more wise than me'?
I saw someone making a money analogy. It fails. If I have ten thousand Naira and I give it to you, it is no longer available to me to give to another person. And if you, the recipient, are generous, you can gift it to your friend. Jesus being our ransom is something infinitely richer and different than the money analogy suggests. The same Jesus is the ransom for us all. He does not diminish through donation. But whereas I can give you the ten thousand I was given, if I chose to, I can not transfer the righteousness I've received. Nevertheless, Jesus can. How then can I be as delusional as to say He is not better than me, even in righteousness!?
Okay, "As He is, so are we in this world." Yes, but it is: AS He is; not WHO He is.
Heb 7:7 (NKJV) says, "beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better." We are the blessed. We are lesser than our 'Blesser.' And He – Jesus – is better than us.
Again, 1Pet 2:17 says you should FEAR God.
