@lola_mewu 4 days onsite, 1 day remote Simpu 😂😂

The first car my dad got for me was my call to bar gift, it was a Toyota Camry “pencil light.” It always had timing belt issues. One day, my dad got fed up and decided to swap it for another Camry i think 2005, worst mistake ever 😭. The very first day I drove it, something went wrong with it. We fixed it, and throughout the next week it seemed fine. Then suddenly, on Friday, it stopped again. At first I didn’t pay much attention, until I realized a strange pattern, the car worked perfectly from Sunday to Thursday, but it always stopped on Fridays. One particular day, my cousin and I were going to deliver bread when the car stopped again around Ikeja at night. We checked the time and I saw it was Friday. Ahhh… I wan ment😭😭. Eventually, we sold that car and I bought another one. Let me not even start with the kind of shege that one showed me again 😭.

@darasoba @TLJuvet An expression of groaning is travailing. As in birth. That pain is not self induced, rather a burden of the spirit. It might make one shed tears, wail in anguish, take on different postures. Galatians 4:19 KJV [19] My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until ...

Alright, let's do that. The root word for groanings is "stenagmos", and it means "a deep inward sigh, an unspoken burden, a wordless expression of pressure, longing, or distress." It is usually internal, expressing what cannot be articulated. Where else it appears in Scripture: a. Acts 7:34; God says, “I have heard the groaning (stenagmon) of My people in Egypt.” Here, Israel’s suffering is so deep it becomes a wordless expression of pain. This shows the emotional weight of the term: it is felt more than spoken. Question: Did they at any time pray to God (Yahweh)? No! b. Exodus 2:24 LXX (Greek Old Testament) “God heard their groaning (stenagmon).” This is the same Greek word Paul uses. It refers to a deep heart-cry that may not even take the form of speech. Ergo, every use of stenagmos in the Greek Scriptures carries the idea of internal lament or yearning, not vocalized prayer. Now, the root word of “Cannot be uttered” is alalētois which litrally means impossible to speak. This word does not appear elsewhere in the New Testament, but the verb laleō (to speak) is common, and the negative prefix “a-” always communicates the total absence or impossibility of something in the greek lexicon. If you put the phrase together "stenagmos alalētois", Paul is describing “groanings that cannot be spoken.” Not just unspoken, but unspeakable, like even if you try, you can not speak it. Even more so, the next verse strengthens the point: “He who searches the hearts knows the mind of the Spirit.” Meaning God reads the Spirit’s inner intercession, not human speech. So the phrase "stenagmos alalētois" describes something happening inside the believer that is from the Spirit and to the Father. It is a silent but perfect intercession that aligns our weakness with the will of God in a way that we ourselves could never articulate.

We saw a lot on campus, some people entertained demonic activities because of “groaning that cannot be uttered”, interpreting it as praying in tongues in a bizarre manner which is completely inaccurate.
 Many believers were taught that “groanings that cannot be uttered” refers to speaking in tongues, but Paul’s argument does not support that reading. When you slow down and examine the text carefully, you notice something striking. Paul is not talking about a human vocal act at all. He is describing the Spirit’s ministry, not the believer’s. Romans 8 has a repeated pattern of groaning. Creation groans. Believers groan. Then suddenly Paul says, “the Spirit Himself makes intercession with groanings that cannot be uttered.” This shift in subject tells you immediately that the groaning in verse 26 is the Spirit’s, not ours. Because of that, it cannot be referring to speaking in tongues or any other audible practice. The phrase “cannot be uttered” closes that door completely. Paul is not describing speech in another language. He is describing intercession that happens beyond language altogether. The context makes it even clearer. The problem Paul addresses is not a lack of tongues. It is a lack of clarity. He says, “we do not know what to pray for as we should.” The weakness here is ignorance, not silence. Our limitation is that we cannot always articulate God’s will or even discern what is best in a given moment. The Spirit answers that limitation by interceding for us from within, expressing our need to the Father in a manner that aligns perfectly with the will of God. The Spirit carries out a depth of advocacy that cannot be captured in sounds, syllables, or utterances. It is not a technique. It is not an expression the believer performs. It is the Spirit doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves. To put it simply, the Holy Spirit strengthens us in our weakness and one of the ways He does this is by praying for us in a way that perfectly aligns with God’s will. A clear illustration of this dynamic appears in the life of Jesus at Gethsemane. In that moment Jesus embodies the full weight of human limitation. He acknowledges the tension between human desire and divine will, saying, “If it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not my will but Yours be done.” Luke records that in that moment an angel strengthened Him. Divine help met human weakness so that Jesus could yield perfectly to the Father’s will. This is the exact logic Paul develops from Romans 5 through Romans 8. In Romans 5 the Spirit pours God’s love into our hearts to sustain us in suffering. In Romans 6 and 7 human limitation is exposed; our flesh cannot carry us. In Romans 8 the Spirit fills every gap. He empowers us, assures us, sustains us, and even intercedes for us where our understanding fails. So “groanings that cannot be uttered” is not an invitation to manufacture strange vocal experiences. It is Paul unveiling the quiet, steady, perfect work of the Spirit within. It is the Spirit translating our weakness into effective intercession. It is God helping us pray when we no longer know how to. It is the assurance that even in your deepest weakness, God is not silent within you. He later mentioned in the chapter that “nothing can ever separate us from Christ’s love.”

@Joshua_R0land [19] My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, We don't pray out God's plan, pray for the lost while being non challant. When the Holy Ghost takes hold of our emotions, his burdens becomes ours and Just as Jesus did, Paul did, we do

@Joshua_R0land MoG sir Can you shed light on Hebrews 5:7 KJV [7] Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

On this groaning matter, POCO has a word.

@Joshua_R0land When a woman is laboring, that word Stenazo comes to mind. She doesn't labor with hands in her pocket. She's speaking, shouting, travailing, she could take different postures. Paul also used this analogy Galatians 4:19 KJV

@Joshua_R0land Stenagmos has a root word from Stenazo which means with grief, to sigh. It is used 6 times in the new testament. In the Septuagint, you can see where that word was directly translated from Exo 2:23, Psm 6:6, Psm 31:30, Lamentation 1:8 You see crying used in the same senten

@Joshua_R0land Meanwhile the Greek word used for groaning in Rom 8:26 Is the word "stenagmos" Used also in Act 7:34 [34] I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their **groaning**, and am come down to deliver them. And now come...

@Joshua_R0land Luke 22:44 KJV [44] And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

@felixherbt @UnkleAyo Bro, that's way too much of a general statement. It feels like you're saying that EVERY politician on planet Earth is corrupt. Come on, you'd have to have studied at least a sample of everyone, seen them from all different angles, to make a statement like that, wouldn't you?

@UnkleAyo No country on earth gets developed by having tribalism and corruption as its benchmark. Deal with corruption and see your country progresses

10 years before Nigeria's independence, China was the poorest country on earth with 25% mortality rate - even up to the 80's. In the 1970's, we had the same per capita income. As at 2021, 80% of the Chinese crossed poverty lines. No 1 undisputed world power today.
