Bidam:You've remembered your ancestry and have been itching to spew that out. Right? What happened? Had you outgrown your old skin? Peele. Aggression comes with skin shedding. It didn't take you that long to grovel from down the dust you are in You seem to know so much about the devil. I wonder why, like as if I don't already know I wouldn't stoop down to your level, not even to help you up from the dirt you are in Go and feed on other dust.

Bidam: Ok then, let's see again a few things from the book: First it should be noted that these are Hagin's views. The Bible still stands as the supreme authority. I want to home in on this: "There are a number of teachings and practices in the Church today, particularly among Charismatic groups, that can lead to misunderstandings and hurtful problems. Many times, these errors are the result of people taking a Bible verse, or part of a verse, out of context or by carrying an application too far. Sometimes there has been an overzealous attempt to make a New Testament application of some Old Testament phrase or technicality that absolutely does not apply. Taken to the extreme, these teachings can become abuses and false practices." Chapter one Determine in your heart to put spiritual things first and to esteem earthly things lightly. Put God first, even before your own self. You'll be blessed spiritually, physically, and in every way—you and your family as well. Do WoF congregations put spiritual things first? By the way, what are the spiritual things they should put first? What are the earthly things they should esteem lightly? Where in reality are their emphasis? Chapter two After the Lord showed me this, He said, "Whatever you need, you just claim it." Does anywhere in the Bible, particularly the NT, corroborate this? At the end of this chapter what 'AUTHORITY IN THE AREA OF FINANCES' can we glean from the NT regarding the Christian? Angels Are Ministering Spirits - under whose authority? How did Jesus use them? How did Paul and other apostles use them? Any scriptural backing? WAS JESUS POOR? What kind of offering did the parents present at his dedication? (Luke 2:24, Leviticus 12:8 "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sokes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." - 2 Corinthians 8:9 So 'poor' and 'poverty' here are not talking about material lack (it has to do with something spiritual?) yet 'rich' in the same text refers to abundant physical provisions and prosperity? Whao! Again, and it needs repeating, Jesus' ministry is like no one else'. His ministry was unique. On the one hand Hagin said: "The idea that God wants His children poor, having no material things, is totally unscriptural." Then he went on to say: "In short, material wealth can be connected to the blessings of God or it can be totally disconnected from the blessings of God. Certainly, financial prosperity is not an infallible gauge of a person's spirituality. How many WoF devotees today actually go all out to: "Interpret the Word of God Correctly Please understand that I am not trying to be cynical, nor am I trying to take away anyone's faith concerning God meeting his needs. But I believe it is important that we be realistic and sound in what we teach. We must "rightly divide" the Word of God and carefully seek the truth in interpreting the Scriptures." When the issue of Logos and Rhema comes up or like even came up severally in this Hagin's book 'the spirit said' or 'the Lord told me' where lies the objective interpretation of God's word? Do WoF advocates truly believe this: "Overemphasizing or adding to what the Bible actually teaches invariably does more harm than good." ? Hagin said: "Making a New Testament application of Old Testament technicalities violates every principle of Bible interpretation, especially when there isn't a single New Testament usage of the word "firstfruits" in the context in which it is being preached by some ministers." But he and other WoF advocates fail to use this same mindset to look at the issue of Tithing. Why, one may ask, is this so? How many WoF devotees will agree with this: "Another crucially important issue is that ministers should never suggest or lead people to believe that prosperity means conspicuous, lavish wealth. It simply is not true that everyone who has faith for prosperity will live in a palace, drive a luxurious car, and dress in expensive, designer-label clothes. Prosperity is relative. For some people, being able to pay their bills and provide the basic comforts of life for their families would be a great blessing—a definite step up. " Hope these are enough food for thought for now on the book. BTW, those crying wolf over the derailing of the thread should also NOTE that when they veer off into comments on other people's thread in this same thread they are doing the same thing they accuse others of. 3 Likes |

^^ I was about replying you concisely, but when I saw you doubted angels are miniistering spirits under the authority of a believer in Christ Jesus! Even though Hagin gave you scriprures? I didn't want to continue the use of greek words to explain somethings, because folks are having trouble understanding english already... I just decided to let you wallow in your ignorance! Oh! How I wish God will open your eyes to see how angels assigned to you await instructions from you, but guess what? He never will, till you understand why angels are angels. But why is it that most of you have reading and comprehension problems? I must say Drummaboy and Kunle looks a bit sharper than the rest, who seem irredeemably dim witted.

Lobeez: [NLT] Hebrews 1:14 Therefore, angels are only servants —spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation. It's not an idea, it's in the good book. Read it and help your ignorance. If servants care for someone, it means they take instructions from the one they care for. Eg, the servants of GEJ who take care of him, who do you think give the other institutions? Now, God is the big boss, he can send them to instruct us. Eg if God sends Gabriel to me, my angels would have to stand down. It's called hierarchy. Go study I love this translation What are all the angels? They are spirits sent to serve those who are going to receive salvation. Why was this possible? Simple Romans 8:17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. 2 Likes |

My bad and apologies to image123. A PM could have done the job don't you think so? You was trying to draw attention to Goshen's private details by pretending to care. I read from trustman that you went for DrummaBoy with everything you got.

If for threads past, vooks still think image123 is feminine or that he was too in a haste to criticise, that he forgot I made the post, then, my friend Babagnoni, I think common sense has failed you too. I should PM him abi? Now public rebuke did not sound ok as you lot advocate? I was waiting for this moment for someone to remotely him private correction, and here you are, meek and pious. I did not rebuke him, not correct him, I simply wanted to show how reading and comprehension has been in deficiency in your camp. Call the to order, send them a PM. Thanks. Happy Sunday. 2 Likes |

@BabaGnoni, Thank you for warning me. I salute these 'gorilla' tactics since they prove something. If they were goDs, they would dispatch curses on us 'enemies of the truth'. But they know that's BS and it don't work outside the four corners of their prayer closet. I had a refreshing debate with a WOFer who tried to convince me that Doctors treats but God heals hence medical science is compatible with divine-health utopia. I needed how satanists and pagans get well in hospitals without ANY healing faith and whether faith was necessary for medical science 'miracles'. She blew a fuse BabaGnoni: 3 Likes |

You are a A CERTIFIED full-blown board idio.t for comparing a PM to a private rebuke. The purpose of warning him is to prevent the existing public information (error) from leaking and be used against him. You did exactly opposite by reminding all of his publicly available confidential details,something you could have avoided by a simple PM Am all for the most stress free rebuke while your camp has created all imaginable barriers to correcting your goDs including NEVER correcting them, limiting rebuking them to 'leaders' and so forth. I will remind you that Oyaks is divorcing NOW but many in his circles saw it coming and couldn't do nothing because of is very doctrine Gombs: 3 Likes |

Meeeehn, I was waiting for this example. Next time, I would send a PM You was trying to draw attention to Goshen's private details by pretending to care. Quit being cynical. If I didn't care, I'd have not brought it up, if I had malicious intentions, I'd have done alot with those details, but I didn't, was it a crime to let him know of his details on a public forum? Even as I put the link here in a hidden format, even recommended a solution? It was only known to those who'd click? Na wa o I read from trustman that you went for DrummaBoy with everything you got. In fact I see some negroes mocking Winsomex calling him aka DrummaBoy Me? Heheheheheh, Drummaboy had a blog na, every body could easily know. I don't poach for memebers details and put it here, else, I know alot of you all full names and occupation, from nora to christembassey to Goshen to Pastorkun to shedemidemi etc. Don’t make me put you on my radar.

Gombs: ^^^ Listen to yourself... Everyone knew about those details, obviously you only recently knew. The chap himself knows it's out there. It doesn't bother him which is why he left it as it is The chap's details aren't harming anyone, the chap wasn't scamming anyone with the details. Obviously there is an ulterior motive for doing this and hiding behind "Paul rebuked Peter" made it more enticing to go ahead Why you bothered to splash the link on this thread for a wider public consumption and what you were trying to achieve doing that, no one will really know Even added insult to injury, by gloating that you now know how the chap looks like - which obviously is incorrect, as the chap is not featured at all on the thread The state of your heart and mind is worrisome for you to think and say "I'd have done a lot with those details, but I didn't, was it a crime to let him know of his details on a public forum?" Check yourself or rein yourself in, before it is too late because this your remark "I know a lot of you, all full names and occupation, from nora to christembassey to Goshen to shedemidemi etc. Don’t make me put you on my radar" is crazy and frightening The evil smug grinning at the end is sickening too.

trustman: Don't mind him and his demonic practices. So what's the difference btw you and the white garment people who names angels? That scriptures he quoted clearly stated that angels are "sent to care" or "sent to serve" God's people. The question Gombs should answer is who is doing the sending? God or the saint? I hope we won't have to resort to another "rebuke before elders" sort of debate to understand that it is God that sends angels to care for saints by his sovereign will and not us calling angels as if we are practising metaphysics or occultism. 2 Likes |
