Greetings

[Rev. Friday Obobo]

Let me introduce myself. I am Rev. Friday Obobo and I live in a small heathen community in Nigeria. I'm trying to convert the local population (mostly pagan and other local beliefs) to True Christianity. So far I've succeeded to 'turn' one family. Let me tell you that iot was a struggle. But with God's help and that of our Lord Jesus C hrist I will prevail.

YIC,

Rev. Friday Obobo.

Re: Greetings

Shout glory. Give us, Reverend, a reading of your favorite verses from the Bible. I would also love to hear some of your favorite sermons.

I believe any preacher worth his salt could do four parts from Matt. 22.

Enough about me. This is your introduction thread. Please do enlighten us, Reverend.

Re: Greetings

Oh, Hello. Do you know anyone called Olasole Akinbanjo who is helping me release $40,000,000 from the account of an American Citizen who died? I ask because I have not heard anything from him since last I sent $2,000 to help with the paperwork.

Greetings, Reverend Friday! How many wives do you have, and how many children have they borne you?

Do they have running water in your village?

Re: Greetings

@ Pastor William: My favourite sermons are not from Matthew 22 unfortunatly. My favourite is from Mark 1:

The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah,[a] the Son of God,[b] 2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”[c]—
3 “a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[d]

4 And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 I baptize you with[e] water, but he will baptize you with[f] the Holy Spirit.”

Re: Greetings

@ Ezekiel: No, unfortunatly I do not know this person. With 152 million people living here, it is impossible for me to know everybody. Sorry for that.

@ Faith: I have 1 wife, 3 sons and 2 daughters. And no, we do not have running water here. Also no sewer system or an electric grid. We do have a well for water, a few septic tanks, 5 diesel generators and an internet cafe.

Welcome to our friendly forum.

Ever heard of the Holy Bible KJV 1611? It will "turn" more than one family.

Re: Greetings

@RevDrJack: I do know the KJV 1611. Too bad it is not possible for me to obtain one. I'm working with an old King James Bible that my late father left me.

Re: Greetings

Is your internet cafe linked by land line or satelite as it must keep dropping out if you are using generators. What is stopping you ordering The Holy Bible KJV 1611 online it may take some time to arrange but next time the donkey post drops by i am sure it will be there for you.

I smell the stink of Satan. Are you telling me a lie?

I was friendly to you in the Spirit of Christ and you lied directly to me. I suppose the next thing you will ask is if you can borrow some money to buy a Holy Bible King James Version 1611.

Your profile says you enjoy cooking and beating your wife. Is she done yet? You're a cannibal aren't you?

I'm beginning to suspect that you are Olasole Akinbanjo and not Friday Obobo.

Re: Greetings

@ Shela, it is a landline and yes, it sometimes fails. I can't order a KJV 1611 because it is too expensive.

@ RevDrJack: Why do you accuse me of lying? Yes, I like to cook but by no means I am a cannibal. Canniballism hasn't happened in this region for the past 23 years. Besides humans tastes like chicken and buying chicken is much cheaper than buying a virgin girl for slaughter. As I said before I do not know the person you mentioned but I will ask my second cousin Enobakhare if he knows someone with that name. He's into internet also.

Re: Greetings

How much money do you spend going online, save it up instead then buy one or better still download it

[Rev. Friday Obobo]

Re: Greetings

@Shela: Going online is for free since the internet cafe is owned by my oldest son. I could download it online ofcourse but then I need to print it. Which would cost me a fortune on paper and ink. So for now I'll stick to my old bible. Which is a King James Version. Just not as old as one from 1611...

Hello there Mr. Obonobo! Welcome to these Godly forums. Since you can access the internets, you can read the entire Bible as well here. Stand up on your chair, start reading, and fill that internet cafe with the love of Jesus!

Re: Greetings

Is Nigeria a poor, a dirt poor or a just downright lacking in modernity and clothing country in Africa? I have a hard time keeping them straight. Maybe it would be easier if you graded it on a scale of 1-10, where 1 is malnutrition and civil war and 10 is particular areas of South Africa that do not need armed guards.
