I understand your point. I understand her too. But I am tired of Nigeria and the Nigeria people as well.

Don't you see I have hated everything Nigeria? The Evil in this land is too much for me to bare.

Why don't you fellowship with her if you can't go to church?

I have a neighbor, a very nice woman who love the word of God. She is very peaceful, humble and meek in nature. She get super excited each time she sees me and often brought gift to me. I know why she get excited which is very Godly and good. smiley

Day 1 The first time she saw and met me in person, she was very much afraid of me and wonder where I came from. She knew I am not from the land. When I tried to talk to her, she instantly refused and reject me not to talk to her. She was very fearful. She is a woman that avoid trouble and hardly trust people.

Day 7 I brought some fruits to her. She took them from me but I found out she later threw them away. I knew she was afraid to eat from the unknown stranger. undecided

Day 9 She apologize over her first snubby reaction about the first day when I tried to talk to her. I accepted her apology. smiley

Day 11 She brought to me some fruit too. I accepted them and ate them lmmediately I had the chance.

Week 2 She has asked me. Did you go to church today?

I replied her, no.

Why, she asked?

Me told her, I don't go to church. I know what to do and I know where I belong. She became afraid of me more which I understood. wink

When I scan her person, I saw she was harmless and good woman. She was a person of peace and harmony. I then start treating her with agape love as natural to me.

I knew in my heart, she will instantly submit to love. For love seek not the upper hand, but the lowest place of service.

In time being, she began to observe my
speech, behavior and way of life. She saw I was an immaterial person. She became more confortable with me and told me she is happy I move here to join her.

One Day She asked me, why don't you wanna go to church?

I told her, everyone has their God, and my personal relationship is between me and my own God.

She agreed, but insist I should forsake not the gathering of thy brethren.

I quote the scripture (Isaiah 57:15) when God said. I am the high and Holy God, who live in a high and holy place, but I also live with those who are humble and contrite in spirit, so that I can restore their confidence and hope.

She agreed and let me be.

The more she experience love from me, the more she submit and was full of happiness. She then told me I have the qualities the church need and asked me to join their church.

I told her, I can't join any Nigeria church for now.

Why, she asked?

You will also not understand my journey I blurted, but someday, you will. wink

Why can't you go to church to listen to the word of God, she re-asked me?

I told her, these Nigeria pastors are fake. They all selfish materialistic men. They don't understand the deeper ways of God, nor do they practice what they preach.

She was sadden over my words but nodded her head in affirmation, and told me, not all pastors are fake. embarassed

I told her, Ok. But I see them as business men who love to do what they enjoy doing.

Every Week I do tell her sob stories of what happened to others, and always end it with virtuous message. She likes and enjoy my short gist cheesy

She then told me, you know a lot ot things about spirituality, yet you don't go to church. shocked

Months Later She fully submit to love and we became good friends. She start sharing some of her personal life info unto me, including...

She will always give me gift and money without me asking her. Paying my bills, self including food and wanting me to feel comfortable in her house. All these are the consequences of my actions. I, myself can never reject the consequences of love. She is a person that is humble, so seeing her own kind always filled her with excitement.

She believes I have the character which God need. She tried to heavily pet me to be going to church. grin

I told her, God has remove me from Christiandom. I can never go back to my vormit. She was like, what Christiandom? undecided

I lauuuugh and told her, you will not understand. grin

Everytime we see, she will always gives me a Godly smiles. She said, since I move here, she has never seen me go to church. I always stay at home on sundays. She wants me to embrace and accept God by going to church.

She said if I start going to church, things will turn around for me and financial breakthrough will come.

I sternly take a look at my good friend and smiled. smiley

I have seen more wickedness in this country than you can now imagine. She told me I should not look at the wickedness of men. I should accept Jesus and be going to church.

I told her, I don't belong to Christiandom. But until this so called Nigeria pastors start preaching love and start practicing that same love they preach, I will not listen or see them as men of God. sad

THE MESSAGE

I recently walk up to her. I asked her, do you know that there are more church in Nigeria than anywhere in the world?

Yes, she nodded.

Nigerians have more religious centers and practice more Christian spirituality than anywhere in the world. They go to church always. They pray a lot. They sow seed and pay tithe to pastors always and believe in God more than the white men. But their ways and daily life is more closer to that of the devil than of God. undecided

Take a look at the white men. They are not that religious like we Nigerians. They don't practice spirituality like the average African black man. But their ways of virtue and disciplinary lifestyle is more purer and closer to God than that of the black men

The scriptures (Mathew 5:8] clearly says; Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Is she not married? Like what is her age range! Is she a loner? Because im thinking that how is her family comfortable with her association with you.

She is a beautiful soul and a loving woman. God bless her good heart. I won't mind knowing her. Mind if you can tell her that someone on nairaland would like to meet her? She sounds like someone one should have as a big sister or mother.

Always try to repay her kindness by buying her gifts too or helping her around the house. She shouldn't be the only one giving you things. It should be 50/50.

About going to church, it is your personal decision. But don't use fake pastors and evil things Nigerians do ask an excuse to exempt yourself from the church. The most important thing is for you to know where you belong.

Please, dont forget my request to know the woman personally smiley
Re: My Neighbor Is Pressuring Me To Accept God by Laughingkk: 6:29am On Jan 17, 2023

Would you rather go to mosque or shrine if you can't go to church?
Would you rather be a muslim, atheist or traditionalist if you can't be a Christian?
There was a point that you gave excuse if not going to church cos of pastors. Later you said you v removed yourself from Christendom.
You see, there are counterfeit products in every original. You might v gone to churches that aren't doing some things right. But not all Churches or let me say not all pastors. That bible verse that talked about not forsaking thy brethren Hebrews 10:25 said so after considering Isaiah 57:15.
There's a difference between fellowship together and God that dwell in anyone that's holy.
Even evil sects v communion and fellowship together to strengthen each other not to talk about communion and fellowship in the name of God. When you attend church, you ll hear messages being interpreted in diverse ways and more level of understanding. You pray/intercede for one another, you make friends etc. You can say friends can come from anywhere. But if you v friends from house of God, it's cool too.
So...the lady inviting you to church did well.
She may not be able to convince you immediately and it's not by force.
But verily I say onto you. There's a part that lead to eternal life. That's the way of God. Jesus is the truth, the way and life. Attending church services makes your hear word of God from ordained servants. You can say you ll hear it from radio or TV but of you can be physically present somewhere, do it. And evangelizing ll make you fulfill one of the commandments of God to those that has received the gospel of Jesus.
Nigerian factor can bastardize things. You can see that sports, education, science, commerce etc in Nigeria are abused. Same way Nigeria affected the church. If you ask Muslims, Traditionalists, even Atheists, their complaints won't be far from Nigerian factor. But remove yourself from Nigerian factor and serve your creator. Shalom.

Aside all those mushroom churches opened by hungry pastors,mention any of this Nigeria Mega church whose founder and CEO is not milking the followers and amass stupendous wealth for their children,and how many of them are TRULY LIKE CHRIST, .....be factual and know peace

She is one of the rare kind of women I have seen in my life. Very peaceful, humble and meek in nature. She a person that doesn't like trouble at all.

She has told others that, she likes me a lot. Me too like her in return because of her peaceful and gentle nature.

Even yesterday I was going out. She called me and asked me to come. Immediately I went to meet her, she squeeze better money into my hands. She told me to use it to buy what I need.

She is my friend.

well done. God is love. And love is God. Any other thing (including church, especially in NG) is irrelevant.

Begs the question why Nigeria is one of the most corrupt and impoverished nation in the world, despite the dominance of churches/mosques or religion.

As a certain reggae artiste chorused it, "Love is the best religion."

I remember seeing one thread here on nairaland of a boy who complain of him having financial depression. He said he had no food, no money, no light, no television to comfort him.

I was shocked when I saw some here asking him, have you given your life to Christ?

Some even comment, have you accept Jesus as your Lord and savior? cheesy

I was like, wtf is wrong with these funny people? A person is depressed and you are asking him to accept Jesus in hunger?

I write from my experience. Like i said, I have no affiliation with no pastors. How they run their business is not my concern. The wilderness journey is a one man journey, so there is nothing to cool down.

Have a nice day. wink


Remember that those that depended on their human knowledge and academic wisdom in the term of Noah by thinking they can climb on high mountain which will not be possible for flood to reach were disappointed. Knowledge of human is just foolisheness; thinking you are wise when you should obey instruction of God is just waste of time; you don't need to listen to suggestion of devil; he has been a deceiver since. Jesus is real and answers prayer because he is alife if only you can humble yourself before him and ask him for direction with sincerity of your heart. He will uphold you, hold your hand and lead you away from sinking ship of the end time

you use Bible verse to defend the Bible? What happened to common sense ? Why not use the Koran or Torah to proof your point ?
First if all, the message was addressed to a particular person quoted. His previous questions was based on pastor, church which already suggested to you where answer should come from Bible and not Quran. However, common sense can't get solution to spiritual matters.

Wisdom of man is just foolishness when you compare to things of God. People that depended on their common sense in the time of Noah by not following simple instruction of God perished with their wisdom thinking when the rain started, they will climb high-hill or tall trees where flood could not reach, but at last their common sense failed them and they perish. Jesus already warned that at the end time, fake prophets shall increase and that sins will multiply as you can see today.

Common sense can't stop all these from happening no matter how you tried. Common sense has limitation when it comes to the things of the Spirit

Forgive me, but I cut a chunk of your message out, but read through it in its entirety.

There's a big difference between "pressuring" and "threatening". Perhaps she actually sincerely cares for your soul.....and sees/knows the path you are on is deadly.
You may look up one day and not have her "pressure" you anymore. I don't think it's necessarily a romantic thing as other posters said or at least I hope not.

With all due respect, be careful when painting a race with one broad stroke. If you have neither been born in or lived a significant amount of time in a country where your ethnicity is the minority-- then I think it's unwise to make that last bolded statement/paragraph. Not a true statement at all. You can't say that when you haven't experienced all folks of one ethnicity and all folks of another ethnicity.
I get it--- we, black folks, have a ton--and I mean a ton of issues period. It almost (and I said "almost"wink seems as if we're cursed in a sense. But, there are a ton of issues for the other folks too.

I get your frustration-- which is quadruple mine given that you are--I'm assuming--(born, raised and living there in Nigeria--non of which I have).

But your anger and frustration is heavily misplaced. Blaming (1) religion for a country's problem, when there are delusional and deranged folks in every religion is faulty and unfair.

Churches aren't the problem--- people are.
Jesus isn't the problem-- people are.
Unconverted, stubborn, and disobedient people-- which we all fit into the category many times.

Maybe, just maybe you ought to accept that invitation for once.......or better yet repeat everything you wrote here to the God you are ultimately angry with....

It might actually help you begin to heal.
Ms. Eviana

Don't look at the title. The message is the most important. In the entire write up, there is no where I mention being angry with God.

You didn't have to say the actual words---"I'm angry with God," but it's quite obvious to me.
How am I not to deduce that you are angry with God when basically you have ranted and railed against Christians, the black man and churches on every corner in Nigeria yet no true humanity (like "the white man with less religion and more humanity"wink-- as you said?

You first bursted into a thread you didn't understand the origin because it wasn't addressed to you personally. Instead of you to ask question or read the thread from the beginning to understand information flow, you went astray discussing off point. I corrected that but you made another blunder, is better you calm your nerves and read the thread from the beginning or let somebody close to you interprete it to you first or write in your own dialect and let Google translate to English for you.

You asked question about using common sense instead of me quoting Bible verses. I ignored your lack of understanding of previous discussions with the person I quoted and addressed by responding to you why common sense can't understand mysteries in spiritual matters. Instead of you to understand the message as it addressed your question raised, you still went ahead to say I am shouting common sense up and down which means you lack the understanding of subject of discussion.

Will I have mentioned common sense if not because of your earlier question raised? Always try to calm down, read, understand and comment. Never comment on what you don't understand well, better to seek further clarification for proper understanding before commenting.
