Hmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteI am no bishop or scholar by any stretch of my imagination but I'll share what this means for me. It's about tolerance and being discerning. So I share a street with very rich Hausa families. As you'd expect, most of the properties on my street have mosques attached to them. I'd say at least 8. You can imagine all of them saying call to prayer at the same time on a Tuesday 5am. That would be callous. So is knowing someone to be gay and opening them up to ridicule and suffering. The point is that it is not enough to do Gods work. How you do it also matters.
DeleteLive, love, repeat
Pls lets us be careful. If U dont know a scripture meaning shut up. Let me give U the amplified version for better understanding
DeleteProverbs 27 (AMP)
14. The flatterer who loudly praises and glorifies his neighbor, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted as cursing him [for he will be suspected of sinister purposes].
I will set trap for one of my neighbour who is always shouting repent repent early mornings. In fact I will show him this scripture and if he dosent change I will just jejely park out. is it his toto I'm doing? Mchw
DeleteLet's not read the Bible out of context. This verse simply refers to those who help others and shout it to the rooftops, especially using it as a means of disturbing others.
DeleteHear this! This verse is not and cannot condemn morning evangelism or morning cry.
DeleteProverb 27:14 Goodnews bible: you might as well curse your friends as wake them up early in the morning with a loud greeting.

The Bible is controversial cos it's written by men
ReplyDeleteThe Bible is not controversial, it is the word of God. The problem arises when men use their own wisdom to understand it or isolate a verse and try to apply human understanding to it.
DeleteOlori.. Controversial kee? No no no. Well. Everyone to their own opinion
DeleteWritten by men with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
DeleteThe Bible is not only tainted with controversial, it's also littered with contradictions, oppression and violence. Essentially the same questions could be asked about "Religion." That religion Itself is tainted to its core by a power- hungry desire to impose its will on others even through violence and exploitation.
DeleteThe Bible is not controversial, my darling. The problem is, most people try to understand divinity with the ordinary human mind. The verses of the Bible are open to several interpretations, ergo the numerous doctrines upheld by various churches.
DeleteThe Bible was written by men through divine inspiration. It's a holy Book and the temptation to take every one literally should be resisted. We should pray for God to open the eyes of our hearts and grant us keen understanding of His Words, before we read the Bible.
Clearly, that verse is not condemning early morning evangelism, far from it. Rather it is condemning lip service or being too loud and zealous in showing appreciation to a friend who has done something kind or good to you. Don't be too eager to express gratitude to a helper, that you have to start so early in the morning and so loud that it catches the attention of your neighbours, as was the tradition of the gentiles then. Moderation is key, even when showing gratitude.
The Bible encourages christians to apply moderation and temperance in our daily lives. Don't pray like a hypocrite using tedious repetition just to appear "holy" or pius, Matthew 6:7-8. The Bible is also against doing charitable or merciful deeds just to show off. It says "but when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing." Matthew 6:3. I think Proverbs 27:14 falls within the same purview.
Hian! They have come o, bible students
ReplyDeleteI think this is talking about helping/giving in secrecy, not letting people know about who/what you EPP
DeleteHuh? 😱😱😱
ReplyDeleteThey have started again!
ReplyDeleteIt is exactly as it is written. I love the Bible truly. It has also said not to let 1 hand know what d other is doing, also not to pray loudly. Knowing when to be discreet is key.
DeleteThem megaphone preachers, if I am startled out of bed by ur noise all in d name of preaching of cos I'd be mad! U hv led me to sin cos I will abuse u and d aim of ur "preaching" is defeated.
A da fun e d observer
DeleteThe gift of translation of the Bible varies in people.. You only need the grace of God to be able to understand. Not jus extracting words..!!
ReplyDeleteOla,you are wise.
DeleteMeanwhile, I just checked this verse in Good news and it says...
"You might as well curse your friends as wake them up early in the morning with a loud greeting"
Bible translation needs divine knowledge not natural knowledge.
BRB, lemme check other bible versions.
ReplyDeleteI think that portion is talking about blessing your friend as in helping someone. It means you shouldn't announce it for others to hear when you help someone. It was also repeated somewhere else in the Bible.
ReplyDeleteExactly. It means keeping it low when you want to bless someone. Like someone people will give something to somebody and before you know it, everybody is already aware.
DeleteConfused too. Bible students, please break dowm
ReplyDeleteStella you can exaggerate at times ehn! Still looking out for the shocking read.
ReplyDeleteI went to google to look for the meaning and this is what I got
ReplyDelete"He who blesses his friend with a flattering loud voice is not different from him who curses.”
The person who flatters his friend by blessing him with a loud voice, while he has ulterior motives and insincerity in his heart, can be compared with those who pray to God with a loud voice, but who are unwilling to submit to Him. In either case, such a “blessing” or prayer of “thanks” will not produce positive results, as Ezekiel 8:18 states: “.. though they cry in My ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”
👍👍👍👍
DeleteMtchew, did you read from the beginning and consider the context? Olodo post.
ReplyDeleteThe bible is like a literature , you don't just trwnslate it anyhow . It simply means don't be a town crier after blessing your friend . It's no longer a blessing but a curse
ReplyDelete😳
ReplyDeleteLete go and read the amplified version i dey come.

Pls Wat du All Think?
You should pray for them and ask God To speak to you regarding what you should do. He did not reveal it to you in vain.
DeleteSorry my advice to you just swip off
DeleteLeave..!! Are you in church to serve your pastor?? Go to any church you feel like... Betterstill, attend a Catholic church
Deleteyou are there for a reason...please help restore peace to that Church...dumbae
DeleteIf you're not being blessed then change your church ASAP.
DeleteOne... It is gift of prophecy! CY!!!!!!!! 2....please what you described here is not Prophecy! It's supposed to be word of knowledge but biko..... Ayam not understanding.
DeleteChange your church if you feel the headquarters is far.
DeleteWe all serve same God.
If a church isn't feeding you spiritually, you need to leave. No discussion. This is Nigeria, church is a stone throw away.
DeleteYou see why people are misled?... And many going towards destruction!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is never reasonable to remove a part of the Bible, read the previous chapter and next to understand what particular message is been passed. Simple!!!
Chai no be dat one dey even worry me stella please read verse 20.
ReplyDeleteAll the married women in the blog should read prov 27:20 do that and you will never have HBP bcoz even God recognises a mans weakness.
*hangs leg on the wall*
Most times the word "man" in d bible means man and woman, yes both man n woman are never satisfied
DeleteIt's proverbs! Figure of speech! I'm still shocked after watching a video,how an African lady was beaten with a plank! That video is still playing in my head! Those wicked men used a log to hit her head after placing something on her head! I don't know what she did! But that was too graphic and scary, right in a bush!
ReplyDeletePeople should learn to allow holy spirit interpret the bible for them for HE is our greatest teacher.
ReplyDeleteSTUDY the bible don't READ
Letter kills but the SPIRIT gives life.
Try and find the RHEMA in the word of GOD
Do you attend fountain of life? I like you,you're deep.
DeleteNo fierce,I'm a winner (living faith church)
DeleteThank you for liking me
I dont know the purpose for that early morning noise. I remembered it used to be bell before now but they have graduated to megaphone.
ReplyDeleteI look at people with megaphone like a fanatics, oversabi preachers.
Hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThis verse is talking about helping someone. When you help(bless) someone and want the whole world to know, it's counted as sin. No be only megaphone na GSM phone.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm
ReplyDeleteAyam not understanding 😕
ReplyDeletehahahahaha Olori Bata why will you write such. Na wa
ReplyDeleteSame thing for fasting - announcing upandan or showing weird facial expressions. God rewards openly the secret things of His children.
ReplyDeleteIs this d Jehovah witness version ?
ReplyDeleteQuick question...R u the friend of the Christian walking around with the mega phone?
ReplyDeleteWrong interpretation of the the Bible. This verse has nothing to do with preaching in the street. Don't call God or Christian into this matter. Even the Mosque that wake people up with their call to prayer are not part of this. VERY WRONG!
ReplyDeleteNo Stella I don't think that is the meaning, i will read the whole verse for better understaning
ReplyDeleteStella,the one u referring to is morning cry😂,,buh dis verse is talking about sounding Ur generosity towards people just like our celebrities do.
ReplyDelete#People will question all the good things they hear about you but believe all the bad without a second thought*
ReplyDeleteSelf explanatory. Most of us fall victim of this verse atimes.
ReplyDeleteIt simply discourages praise singing of a fellow human.
ReplyDeletePeople should learn how to study the bible with the help of the Holy Spirit instead of just reading it like it's a blog *side eyes at Stella.
U av all tried. I rest my case
ReplyDeleteLet your left hand not know the alms your right hand is giving... It has Nothing to do with morning cry.
