Religion / Re: Christmas Celebration Controversy: MFM Releases Statement by palman(m): 4:51pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
ifewise: The Controversy on Christmas, December 25th as Jesus' Birthday: Our Position and Clarification, By MFM
With reference to the varied reactions that have been trailing the message of our General Overseer (Worldwide), Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Olukoya, on the celebration of December 25th as Christmas in celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, during the church's weekly Manna Water service on Dec. 25, 2019, we make the following clarifications...
Though the foundation of Christmas is idolatry and God hates idolatry with perfect hatred, we will not throw away the baby and the bath water. We do not condemn those who celebrate. Jesus is born in us at MFM every day. His death is our birth certificate.
We will bring out the positive out of the negatives by using all holidays for prayers, conferences seminars, and activities.
We will hold seminars, conventions, camp meetings or special teaching services to pray, examine the scriptures and draw positives from the wrong, negative and idolatry practices of the two events: Easter and Christmas.
We will hold special meetings to re-teach, re-emphasize and reappraise the significance of Jesus' birth, death, cross, and resurrection.
ON DECEMBER AND THE SHEPHERDS Strange but true! Remember those shepherds who were “keeping watch over their flocks by night”? (Luke 2: . December weather around Bethlehem is often miserably cold, wet and rainy. No shepherd in his right mind would have kept his flocks outside at night at that time of year! The passage argues against the December 25th birth of Jesus Christ since the weather would not have permitted shepherds to be out in the fields with their flocks then.
Also, Luke 2:1-4 tells us that Jesus was born in Bethlehem because his parents came to that town to register in a Roman census. The Romans were well known as highly efficient administrators. It would have made no sense to have conducted a census in the dead of winter when temperatures often dropped below freezing and traveling was difficult due to poor road conditions. Taking a census under such conditions would have been pointless.
The Bible nowhere tells us to observe a holiday celebrating Jesus Christ’s birth —but it clearly does tell us to do ‘communion’ in remembrance of him. He should have just preached on the significance of Christ coming, his mission and death and let bygone be bygone. What's all this again. Stop trying to divide the body. Celebrate or leave it. Itk |
Family / Re: My Husband Beat Me On Christmas Day by palman(m): 4:30pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Cutehector: Not that I am supporting him for hitting you ooo.. Never. But take a look at your words
You asked him to take a family picture and he snapped and slapped you just like that ? I sha know that women are very good at removing a lot of details when narrating their own side of the story.
Edited: and to all those quoting me telling me on no account should a man hit a woman.. It seems you all have serious issues with reading. Please study the first paragraph before thinking of quoting me. I support ur point, she might have swallowed up some part of the story but frustration and depression is deep mehn |
Family / Re: My Husband Beat Me On Christmas Day by palman(m): 4:26pm On Dec 29, 2019 |
Mrsprissy: Good evening my brothers and sisters in the house. First , I am not a troll . I've been a member on NL since 2008 and am very active, but I prefer using a new account for my story to seek advice and also learn from other experienced people in this great group.
On christmas day hubby and I were invited to attend a special dinner at his friend's house and I picked a nice outfit for him to wear on the day, he wore another outfit, a t shirt and jeans his every day clothes so I asked him politely to go and change, he got angry at me and told me to keep quiet and he went inside.
He was in our room for an hour while the kids and I were still waiting for him, I even sent the kids in their room to play, he later came out he only changed his top but didn't changed the trousers and trainers. I had decided not to say anything for peace to reign, so as we were leaving, I asked him if we could take a family picture, he just snapped and slapped me and started beating me up so badly, he only stopped because my children were screaming and crying for him to stop.
I am so pained because before the incident happened, we were fine, no quarrel at all, I just don't understand his reasons for beating me like this and I swear to God, I didn't say something to make him this angry, he left me there and went out, his friend later called to know if we were still coming because he couldn't reach hubby on the phone, I told him we are coming.
I cleaned myself, changed my clothes and I left with the kids to his friend's house, to my surprise he was already there, we acted like everything was normal and I tried hard to stop tears coming because I was in pained.
For the past 3 days he has been acting as if I did wronged him, he doesn't talk to me, he doesn't eat my foods and he left the room and he is now sleeping in our son's room. I just don't know what to do again Try and think back care fully if u guys had one unresolved issues, how is finance with him, alot might be frustrating and eating him up inside, has he eve complained of anything about u, check that thing, in all be prayerful, humble and act the dumb, cook his meal, lay the bed where he sleeps be at ur best. And he will come around. Tell no one but study him. Our prayers are with u |

Calling all human rights organization to stand with the Dakolos, if there's any way we can be of help, protesting and anything your family needs in this trying time Timi please let us know, I pledge my support. I'm not supporting either if them but I'm pained by foolish Nigerians who know what is best and spit trash.. They know that the church and his disciples should have called a meeting or investigative panel to tackle and settle this matter. But we keep condemning the side we are not supporting.. What pains me most are ladies that are even making comment.... It's better they just stay low.. Should Busola be right. Then should we pray they be raped to feel the trauma?

He has just a few years ahead of him before he leaves you alone in this world to continue the suffering. You on the other hand have several years to achieve a lot and you're concerned about an old man. I hope u will ask God for forgiveness for this thing u just said before its too late 1 Like |

A lot of people hear said so meaning full stuff u can pick from Divorce is not an option here Talk to a pastor she respects for council If u can ask her to go out with u, I'm married I have friends but I don't hangout with them except when my wife feels OK and that's when she is not at home. If she is I rather stay with her and the kids. Maybe she doesn't like the way u leave her at home Find her a job if she is not working cos an idle Mind is a prey for trash Pray together when u wake up and sleep, maybe she thinks u are too worldly Ignore whoever she reports u to, they don't own ur life. Leave a conscience free life Above all show her more love, buy her gifts, take her out occasionally and pray 2 Likes |

Family / Re: Should I Save My Marriage Or Let Go? by palman(m): 4:33am On Apr 23, 2019 |
prizequest: I got married to my wife few months back but she stays in another state due to her work and there had been measures for she to join me until now. One thing she had repeatedly complain about is my low sex drive as she has boosted of how other men in her life before are stallion but she doesnt want me to be one but be able to meet her libido demands. This comparison created psychological issues for me hence the lack of drive and she really want to make a baby due to her age. Not having more sex has made her fight me, attack me, despice and disrespectful but i have pleaded she give me more time to sort things out but she's more persistent hence we'd been separated for 4 months now, 3 more month to our anniversary.
Another angle is a week after our traditional wedding, i and wife decided to go to the marriage registry to get a certificate but her dad got to know through her, put a call to me and cursed that my children will disrespect me for not informing him. My Wife is a divorcee from another marriage Its all ur fault, were u also desperate as a mam? 1 a divorcee, did u find out why she was divorced. 2. Was there no curtship with u guys, its a time to know each other better including compatibility. 3 u married a serial sexiest why will she be satisfied when she has different shades in her head. |

andromida:
How does self service affect self esteem? It seems most pple here, going by their comments see nothing wrong in s.s. What comes to ur mind before u venture into it. What goes on in ur mind or what do u use as a medium of self servicing? When u are done and go out to the crowd how do u feel, does it affect ur psychology? This are the questions you should seek responds for.. I started self s. Since age 10 and stopped at 29 even when I was married so I can tell u that everything is bad about S.S.
