LESSON FROM THIS FUNNY JOKE Screen saver!

<p>A rich man died and immediately found his soul at<br> the gate of heaven. The angel at the gate told<br> him, “Now you are dead and you are here for<br> judgment. You didn’t serve God well with all your<br> heart, but because of all the great and good<br> efforts you made for humanity when you were<br> alive, I will give you uncommon privilege. You have<br> the chance to choose where you want to go, hell or<br> heaven.” The rich man asked the angel to permit<br> him to have a look of both heaven and hell before<br> he could make a choice. The angel permitted him,<br> so he allowed him to first view hell.</p> <p>When the angel took the rich man to hell, he saw<br> beautiful ladies wearing swimming kits, dancing and<br> having fun with glasses of wine. Then the angel<br> took him to see heaven, there he saw angels singing<br> hymns and praising God. So the angel asked the<br> rich man to make a choice. The rich man said, “I<br> will prefer hell, it is fun and more exciting there,<br> let me go to hell” Then the angel said, “According<br> to your decision.”</p> <p>The rich man was thrown into hell, and to his<br> greatest surprise he found himself in the flames<br> of fire with furnace raining upon him and demons<br> ready to torment him for ever. The rich man cried<br> to the angel, “What happened? Where are those<br> beautiful girls having fun that I saw here before?”<br> The holy angel replied, “What you saw then was just<br> a screensaver”</p> <p>This a joke, because no choice or repentance after<br> death, it is judgment. Hebrews 9:27. But this shows<br> how Satan deceives people with the things of this<br> world.</p> <p>Whatever you see in this world are mere<br> screensaver; the fun, fame, fancy, fashion, and<br> fortune are empty screensaver that have nothing<br> to profit the real you, which is your soul. Do not<br> sell yourself to sin because of earthly pleasure and<br> position and then find yourself in eternal pain and<br> plaque. Why will you give a permanent heavenly<br> paradise for a passing earthly possession? Don't be<br> a fool. Do not exchange your soul to Satan just for<br> screen-saving something that can't last as your<br> soul. Don't be silly.</p> <p>Your soul is the real you, your soul will last forever<br> just as God will be forever, and just as Satan will<br> be forever; if you surrender your life to Jesus<br> Christ and follow Him till the end, you will last with<br> God forever in heaven and in pleasure; but if you<br> remain in sin or fall back into sin, you will be<br> forever with Satan in hellfire, and in pain. YOU<br> HAVE THE CHOICE NOW!</p> <p>Luke 16: 24 Then he cried and said, ‘Father<br> Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus<br> that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and<br> cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’<br> 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your<br> lifetime you received your good things, and likewise<br> Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and<br> you are tormented.</p> <p>Matthew 16: 26. “For what profit is it to a man if<br> he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or<br> what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1DfdJls3ZMCTLLvbdAJCwGfFNXdkqcIOegHd-OVWkea3qlP2ehHhv3NBxzTz6BxWKiNvow_yHddCIvTI9hseoKIY2vjpDYKZUFgM9fbjAj_s_FqVP3o1ssTf5OoAFEifj9WxZRgyqUJlw/s1600/11139382_672666612839712_6411927977873789537_n_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1DfdJls3ZMCTLLvbdAJCwGfFNXdkqcIOegHd-OVWkea3qlP2ehHhv3NBxzTz6BxWKiNvow_yHddCIvTI9hseoKIY2vjpDYKZUFgM9fbjAj_s_FqVP3o1ssTf5OoAFEifj9WxZRgyqUJlw/s640/11139382_672666612839712_6411927977873789537_n_2.jpg"> </a> </div>

BIBLE TEACHING ON GODLY DRESS

<p>This study clarifies what and how godly woman<br> should dress; the biblical perspectives of godly<br> dress.</p> <p>As people who have been enlightened by the light<br> of the true Word of God, we will teach on this.<br> There are several wrong perceptions and teachings<br> about Christian clothing and dressing, and it is<br> better to mention some of them before we share<br> the 4 Biblical Perspectives of Godly Dressing.</p> <p><b><i>AVOIDING?</i></b><br> Avoiding of Bible standard on godly dress.<br> Some Pastors and churches say they don’t have to<br> emphasize on Christian dress or preach against<br> worldly dressing because Jesus didn’t mention<br> anything about it. This assumption and conclusion is<br> erroneous and a deceptive excuse, because Jesus<br> didn’t mention everything during His earthly<br> ministration because His disciples could not<br> understand everything then so He committed the<br> disciples unto the Holy Spirit who would teach them<br> “all things”. So it was the same Spirit of Jesus<br> Christ that inspired the Apostles who unequivocally<br> taught against worldliness and on how Christians<br> should dress. Romans 12:1, 1 Timothy 2:9, 10, 1<br> Peter 3:3, 4.</p> <p><b><i>ANYTHING GOES?</i></b><br> While some preachers and churches are trying to<br> avoid the teaching of godly dress style, some<br> others say anything goes. These type of preachers<br> from America to Africa say your outward look and<br> dressing does not matter to God. They say it is<br> your heart that matters to God not your body or<br> what you wear. This is a pure satanic, destructive<br> doctrine. The Bible states it clear from Old<br> Testament that God is not delighted in His children<br> exposing their nakedness. From Genesis, God made<br> the first clothing for humanity after they fell into<br> sin and were sent out of the Garden of Eden. The<br> LORD God made the clothing from animal skin for<br> a purpose - to cover their nakedness. So from here<br> the primary purpose of clothing, of dressing, is to<br> cover our nakedness. All senses will agree with this,<br> spiritually, physically, philosophically and mentally;<br> that we wear clothes primarily to cover our<br> nakedness. So when a person wears clothes and the<br> nakedness is not properly covered, the person is<br> not just being fashionable but working against<br> God’s natural purpose; that is ungodly and out of<br> sense. If being half naked is the latest fashions,<br> then animals are more fashionable, and humanity<br> has descended below animal.</p> <p>When a Christian who has the knowledge of the<br> Almighty God claims that she is dressing not to<br> cover her body but for fashion, that Christian is<br> both spiritually and naturally insane. <br> The Bible<br> admonishes us in Romans 12:1, to present our<br> bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to<br> God. What does that means? God is interested in<br> how you present your body as well your heart. God<br> will not accept half naked presented body. How you<br> present your body is more important to God than<br> the sacrifice you present. He told Moses that the<br> children of Israel should be careful so that their<br> nakedness is not exposed, because that might<br> attracts God’s wrath. Exodus 20:26<br> Any pastor or church that ignores to teach you<br> biblical ways and manner of proper and godly<br> dressing is an ungodly pastor and church . The<br> deception of the devil to lure many women and<br> even men to hell through worldly dressings are now<br> accepted in many churches, they don't see<br> anything wrong with how you dress, it doesn't<br> matter how you present your body. The kind of<br> wears women can’t wear to night parties about 20<br> years ago because of natural sense of decency are<br> what our Christian women are wearing to churches<br> today with confidence. The same women are<br> pastor's wives, deaconesses and workers; the same<br> women can speak in tongues of angels and men,<br> they can pray with thunders. Such women are<br> operating under the spirit of Jezebel. At the same<br> time you see Christian brothers doing jerry curls,<br> inordinate hair-do, using earrings and so on.</p> <p><b><i>LEGALISM?</i></b><br> While some churches and their pastors declare<br> anything goes-style of dressing, another side also<br> goes extreme in legalistically dressing. They claim<br> to be conservative and then go extreme. This other<br> side speaks against women wearing “ready made”<br> clothes, buttons down shirts and they narrow them<br> down to some specific styles they can wear; some<br> even oppose women using hats and so on. Going<br> extreme cannot bring godliness, it will only bring<br> hypocrisy; such denominations have double<br> standards, their standards of godly dress in Africa<br> is different from what they have in the Western<br> countries. If it is true that wearing trouser,<br> buttons down shirts, using hats and so on are sins,<br> then it should be sins everywhere, every time and<br> at every situation.</p> <p>The truth about sin is that sin is sin universally and<br> at every condition. Then why do we see the same<br> denominational women wearing hats, button down<br> shirts and suits in Western countries? Why do we<br> see the pictures of their women on their websites<br> and on Facebook wearing suits, button-down shirts<br> and even trousers in some occasions in western<br> nations? Some excuse it is because of the weather<br> there and I do wonder, “Is it possible for<br> something that is sin in a particular country not to<br> be sin in another country?” If women wearing suits,<br> trousers, not covering their heads are sins in<br> Africa or Asia, then they are sins in America and<br> everywhere, irrespective of the weather, condition,<br> country or the profession.</p> <p><b><i>MODERATION!</i></b><br> The standard of the Bible is not anything goes<br> permissive styles neither is it conservative legalism,<br> Bible standard is MODERATION! One of the<br> attributes of Christianity is moderation.</p> <p><b><i>Moderation in everything:</i></b> how you live, what you<br> say, what you eat, what you drink, how you dress,<br> what you wear, car you ride, house you live in,<br> what you use and so on. When you are in Christ,<br> you don’t show off your self, because your self is<br> death, you don’t show your body, your riches, your<br> pride; you show Christ and Him alone. Anything<br> that will share or take glory from Christ you don't<br> get involves.</p> <p><b><i>THE FOUR BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES!</i></b><br> So what are the Biblical standards for dressing for<br> godly women? The answer is that a godly,<br> regenerated woman can wear anything as long as it<br> goes along with these four biblical perspectives:</p> <p><b><i>(1) WELL COVERED:</i></b> When you give your life to<br> Jesus and living a new life in Him, you are not<br> controlled by the world fashion's sense, you are not<br> dressing to belong or please yourself, you dress<br> primarily to cover your body as a living sacrifice to<br> God. Because you realize your body is a temple of<br> Holy Spirit. Anything you wear must cover you well.<br> How? Your skirts must reach below your knees;<br> your shirts must well cover your chest; any tops,<br> gowns, etc. Your wears on top must not show the<br> trace of your breasts if you bend down and your<br> underwear must be under, not over. That is the<br> meaning of well-covered dress.</p> <p>Wearing shirt or top that shows your cleavage as a<br> woman is sign of satanic influence on your soul. If a<br> Christian woman wears a cloths that doesn't cover<br> her knees, that the trace of her breasts can be<br> seen, that people can see any of her under-wears<br> outside, she does not present her body as a holy<br> temple of God, she is defiling God’s temple since<br> she claims to be a child of God, and the<br> punishment is serious.</p> <p><b><i>NOTE:</i></b> Any dress you wear as a woman, on the top,<br> that reveals your cleavage is the most sinful and<br> ungodly dress of all. Those Christian women who<br> wear such are under the trap of Satan, they are<br> satanic agents of pollution, and the bad news is<br> majority of Christian women are victims.</p> <p><b><i>(2) NO TRANSPARENCY:</i></b> Any clothing you wear as a<br> godly woman must not be transparent or<br> evaporated that your under wears will be seen.<br> Since the purpose of wearing clothes is the cover<br> your nakedness, wearing transparent or evaporated<br> clothes has defeated that God’s purpose in such<br> woman's life. Wearing transparent, evaporated<br> clothes is an indirect nakedness and disobedience<br> to God; it is as bad as half naked. As a Christian,<br> godly woman, you are watchful of what you wear<br> and how you wear them so that you are not<br> disqualified by God just because of your dress-<br> style.<br> If you don't wear trouser as a woman but you wear<br> cut-and-sow or ready-made clothing that reveal<br> your cleavage, then you are walking in the better<br> trap of Satan.</p> <p><b><i>(3) NO TIGHT:</i></b> If you are wearing skirts, gowns,<br> shirts, native dress, self made, uniforms, sport<br> wears, whatever, where ever, it must not be tight.<br> Wearing tight clothes that shows the shape and<br> anatomy of your body to the world is also an<br> indirect nakedness. You wear clothes to cover your<br> body not to show your body shape. When the motive<br> is to show the shape of your body then something it<br> wrong, it is called inordinate motive. A godly woman<br> does not dress to show the shape of her body, so<br> body hugs and all sorts of tight clothing are<br> ungodly and can lead to damnation and<br> condemnation of one’s soul at the end.</p> <p><b><i>(4) NOT EXPENSIVE:</i></b> Either a woman or a man, as<br> a child of God, Bible directly warns us not to buy,<br> wear expensive clothing, not because you can’t<br> afford it but because you are a Christian, modest.<br> Christianity is all about modesty, meaning showing<br> little about your self, your financial capacity. You<br> don’t buy clothes by the reason of your financial<br> capacity; you buy clothes by the reason of modesty.<br> Wasting money on expensive clothing and accessories<br> is un-biblical. Our modern preachers can tell you<br> opposite but here is what the Bible says, “in like<br> manner also, that the women adorn themselves in<br> modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not<br> with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly<br> clothing,” 1 Timothy 2:9.</p> <p>Costly clothing is unbecoming for a heavenly<br> conscious woman or man. Then how can we measure<br> costly clothing and every other thing we buy?<br> Simply apply the principle of moderation: (I) ask<br> yourself why you want to buy it for that price, are<br> you buying it for its quality, for ego, to class and<br> prove your financial level? Or because it is the<br> reigning fashion and you want to belong? (II) Ask<br> yourself if you can get another clothing of same<br> quality with lesser price. Then let the Spirit of God<br> guide you. God knows our intentions and thoughts,<br> so we can’t deceive Him.</p> <p><b><i>GOOD MOTIVE + BAD MANNER = CONDEMNED</i></b><br> <b><i>PERSON </i></b><br> Some women claim that they wear any clothes with<br> pure motive, without any bad motive to seduce. If<br> you have a pure motive and you don’t care about<br> the manner you express that motive, it is a sin. If<br> your pure motive is generating un-pure thoughts<br> from those who see you then you have become the<br> source and cause of un-pure thoughts. When you<br> are a child of God, you show God’s glory, people<br> see you and see Christ not otherwise.</p> <p>Some say they wear what they want to wear, and<br> if it affects any man, such man should close his<br> eyes. Such statement should not be from a<br> regenerated person who is a child of God, because<br> (1) closing eyes will only lead the world into<br> darkness, but a child of God is a source of light, to<br> help open the eyes of the people in darkness, it is<br> not to close the eyes of people into deeper<br> darkness. (2) A child of God dresses to edify not<br> to instigate lust or shows self.</p> <p>May the Lord give us understanding of the truth,<br> and may we take to necessary correction but it<br> gets too late.</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP43Ls8dLlLu0ik8M1wruiOH1b1CXw2CTvB8PvMLENV878QQL2XjepWBGDVzhqTF7Hnj_IdeOUrob2JIHQxdSkkhTj-GVDeKf3Ii9ZPXMU3f8Q2yyBrjNUbDVIhmwlHn4F8C7gKvMw8521/s1600/11174406_673169329456107_5426467593891720723_o.png.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP43Ls8dLlLu0ik8M1wruiOH1b1CXw2CTvB8PvMLENV878QQL2XjepWBGDVzhqTF7Hnj_IdeOUrob2JIHQxdSkkhTj-GVDeKf3Ii9ZPXMU3f8Q2yyBrjNUbDVIhmwlHn4F8C7gKvMw8521/s640/11174406_673169329456107_5426467593891720723_o.png.jpg"> </a> </div>

GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN’ - (By Obi Ginikanwa)

<p>There are too many people on this mother<br> earth. Up to 7 billion people roaming the<br> streets, scratching the earth and digging<br> abysses just for food and life sustenance<br> while some other few seem to have a tree<br> that grows money or a faucet that gushes<br> cash for them, food to waste and drinks to<br> pour away. We all wanna be like them; we<br> admire them. We all want to ace our courses<br> because we want to acquire accolades and<br> respect like they do, have a boat cruise at<br> Marina, host wild parties on Saturday at<br> Transcorp Hilton then fly back to Lagos in<br> our Gulfstream 650, drive the Rolls Royce like<br> to Banana Island then the next day wear<br> your Armani suits to Cathedral of Christ,<br> Marina and take the front seat, then donate<br> money and get a knighthood conferred on<br> you. If you want to be like them or at least<br> die trying, you have to learn what they did<br> or do. Let’s go!</p> <p><b><i>They Marry Early:</i></b><br> Behind every successful man there is a<br> woman. Read the sentence carefully. It says<br> woman and not women and you better<br> appreciate that this woman must come into<br> your life as the madam quite early. There are<br> reasons for this, if you are unmarried, you<br> tend to be unfocused but if you are hitched,<br> you get a sense of responsibility and<br> obligation to cater for the other human<br> beings God has entrusted into your care and<br> by doing this, you inadvertently get<br> ambitious. Men that applied this lesson<br> include Innocent Chukwuma (Innoson) at 26,<br> Patrick Chidolue (Chelsea Group) at 22,<br> Ifeanyi Uba (Capital Oil) at 23, Cosmas<br> Maduka (Coscharis) at 19, etc.<br><br>They are School Intelligent:<br> Forget these stories of billionaires being<br> dropouts and all. See, many of them go to<br> school and came top of their classes and<br> today they are reaping millions as fruits of<br> their night class and As, MBAs, PhDs, etc. If<br> you think it’s a lie ask Alex Otti, Festus<br> Odimegwu, Prof. Osunbor, Prof. Utomi, etc.</p> <p><b><i>Th</i></b><b><i>ey are Computer Literate:</i></b><br> You better start learning how to programme,<br> hack, create games, build software or<br> hardware or just do any cool stuff that has to<br> do with computer. Just imagine Evan Spiegel<br> is a billionaire at 24 just because he<br> cofounded Snapchat. No need to talk about<br> Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Michael Dell,<br> Larry Page, Sergey Brin and so many others.</p> <p><b><i>Th</i></b><b><i>ey Drop Out of </i></b><b><i>School:</i></b><br> Just like our fingerprints are different so also<br> do our destinies. Some can only run away<br> from poverty if they run away from<br> classrooms and enter any other thing, get<br> rich and come back to the institutes to give<br> speeches about the value of education or<br> how washing plates is not an easy chore. Get<br> inspired by Bill Gates, Kanye West, Steve<br> Jobs, Amancio Ortega, Elizabeth Holmes,<br> Steven Spielberg, etc.<br><br>They are Brave and Confident<br> Winnies and soft hearted men never make it<br> to the top. Confident men take business risks.<br> Jonathan was a sissy so David the braveheart<br> took the throne. Our Heads of State like IBB,<br> Abacha, Obasanjo, Murtala, Buhari and other<br> military leaders like TY Danjuma are epitome<br> of bravery.</p> <p><b><i>Th</i></b><b><i>ey Do Rituals:</i></b><br> If you can withstand the shame Chief Vincent<br> Duru aka Otokoto and the firing squad his<br> son, Obidiozo faced, then you are free to<br> engage in rituals and make blood money.</p> <p><b><i>Th</i></b><b><i>ey are Politicians:</i></b><br> There is no need to tell you that once you<br> win any political office in Nigeria you must<br> get at least a Prado Jeep, build a mansion in<br> your village and by mistake you become a<br> senator or a president like Jonathan, you will<br> share gold plate iPhones at your daughter’s<br> wedding.</p> <p><b><i>They are Drug Barons:</i></b><br> Is it not when you have excess money that<br> you can burn millions of dollars in cash just<br> to keep your daughter warm at night while<br> running from American forces like Pablo<br> Escobar? Money from drugs makes you live<br> the Hollywood dream – running all your life<br> like Fast and Furious and finally getting an<br> opportunity to get a nationally televised<br> death on a rooftop.</p> <p><b><i>Th</i></b><b><i>e Talented:</i></b><br> This is the best money. Do what you enjoy<br> and they pay you with beautiful women, fast<br> cars, houses by the beach that bitches will<br> love. I’d give anything to be Ronaldo, Don<br> Jazzy, Tuface, Jay Z, Diddy, Balotelli, etc.<br> ll of them are business men.<br> Whether they married early or dropped out<br> of school or are talented or died on rooftops,<br> one thing is certain, most of them did not<br> make their money by earning salary but by<br> being astute and shrewd businessmen.<br> Business is a money spinner. It makes the<br> world go round and we should be grateful to<br> businessmen for our development. They<br> made it possible.<br> So ladies and gentlemen, let us see at Forbes<br> or Fortune 500.</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisdXaYJ7dOlf7TL4jKQ2ulr57PGPKZQLNrgnhQyVjQuCC_SSZ8SLSXzwFqZuv3x3VN-y9RCy8BaoVovKP_WnMrc1j_Pj9y5zEqqlmYR1N2eYrbMkFlVh0eZ-MdOPY5LXMkksicUYbx8idf/s1600/Karl-Lagerfeld.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisdXaYJ7dOlf7TL4jKQ2ulr57PGPKZQLNrgnhQyVjQuCC_SSZ8SLSXzwFqZuv3x3VN-y9RCy8BaoVovKP_WnMrc1j_Pj9y5zEqqlmYR1N2eYrbMkFlVh0eZ-MdOPY5LXMkksicUYbx8idf/s640/Karl-Lagerfeld.jpg"> </a> </div>
