Are you a Student of the University of Heaven?

Becoming a student of any tertiary institution consists of 4 basic steps.

1. You must be Qualified:
Every institution has its own minimum entry qualifying criteria.
In Nigerian Universities, 5 O'Level Credits in relevant subjects, JAMB Scores and Post UME examination results.

It is impossible for a primary school graduate for instance becoming an undergraduate student of any tertiary institution in Nigeria.

2. You Must Apply:
No matter how brilliant you are, if you did not apply to ABU or UNILORIN, it would be impossible for your name to come out for matriculation in those institution.

Application is a Must!

3. You must Sign the Matriculation Oath:
The matriculation oath is a promise by every prospective student MUST make before being issued a Matriculation Number.

The oath consists of a statement like:
I shadeyinka promise to abide by all the rules and regulations of this institution.....
Sign.

4. You must Receive a Matriculation Number:.
Your matriculation number is the evidence issued only by the VC that you are indeed NOW a student of that particular institution.

Till you graduate, your matric number is your SEAL!

Note: Some things that do not confer automatic studentship
- You are a son of a professor
- You were born on campus
- You lived all your life on campus

BECOMING A STUDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HEAVEN IS EXACTLY THE SAME!

This is what is called Born Again!

There are four basic steps:

1. You must be Qualified:.
Unfortunately, not one single human being qualify



This would have meant that no human being is qualified for redemption except that God so much love us humans that He prepared a sacrifice that waivered our un-qualification.



This exception is the law of Exchange; Its the Law of the scapegoat; the saint/innocent paying the price of iniquity of the sinner.

Lev16:1-26

Through this sacrifice, because we believe, we come boldly to the throne of grace by Faith in what God Has done for us: the perfect sacrifice.

He who believes in Gods solution is then made qualified. On that platform of Christ's Sacrifice we come to the Father!

2. We Must Apply:
What is the application?
-Write my Name in the Book of Life!
- Put Your Holy Spirit in me!
- Make me a New Person!

The three means basically the same thing. In lay mans terms: "Save me oh Lord, I don't want to go to hell".



This would have meant that no human being is qualified for redemption except that God so much love us humans that He prepared a sacrifice that waivered our un-qualification.



The exception is the law of Exchange; Its the Law of the scapegoat; the saint paying the price of iniquity of the sinner.

Through that, we come boldly to the throne of grace by Faith in what God Has done for us: the perfect sacrifice.

He who believes in Gods solution is then made qualified. On that platform of Christ's Sacrifice we come to the Father!




So, how do we apply?



We use our mouth to ask for salvation!

3. We Sign the Matriculation Oath:
Since there is a guarantee of receiving because we believe in Gods solution; His sacrifice, we append our signature (affirmation and promise) to live by the rules of the University of Heaven.
-avoid sin (a life of purity)
-serve the Lord in Love
-Love others as yourselves etc

Number 2 and 3 is what the church fathers call:
Accepting Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

No 2= Accepting Jesus as Saviour
No 3= Accepting Jesus as Lord.

4. You receive the Matriculation Number:
The Father in heaven receives your application and judges your heart.

Do you sincerely mean what you ask? Do you sincerely want to live by the rules of heaven?

If that is true, the Father then issues out the Matric Number: The Holy Spirit.

Hence forth, the Holy Spirit lives in union with your spirit. This qualifies you to be a child of God. The Holy Spirit is your seal (mark of ownership of God) until the day of your graduation (redemption)!



[size=18pt]Henceforth, you are expected to start working on your spiritual CGPA.[/size]

We shall discuss Next week,
"How to improve your Spiritual CGPA".

Questions will be answered by "all the bona fide students of the university of heaven on Naira land".

Stay Blessed.


Now, if you are not Born Again or you have assumed that you are Born Again and you want to make it right with God, why not pray this prayer with your mouth sincerely to God and your name shall be written in the Book of life.

My Lord and my God
I know that I am a sinner and therefore not qualified for heaven
I know and believe that you provided the sacrifice and atonement for my sins by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Therefore, please
Write my Name in the Book of Life
Seal me with Your Holy Spirit
Turn me into a New Creature

From today,
I will start living my life to please You and Glorify You. Help me to overcome the power of sin in my life.

Thank you for hearing me.
Thank you for sealing me with your Holy Spirit.

In Jesus Name.

Now, if you sincerely prayed that prayer, because God is Faithful and Just, He will write your name in the book of life.

You might feel very light or very joyful within or even cry your eyes out. Some may even at this point begin to speak in tongues or manifest other gifts of the spirit.

But the ultimate is that the Holy Spirit who now lives in you will confirm within you that you now Belong to God.



Welcome to the Family of God!

Now I don't have to read this to know that this is the worst"university" ever.
All it's graduands are dumb.

Nice one bro, The bible is not the basis for understanding God, because it was coined by the limited understanding of man, thats why there were always prone to be errors in the bible. But God exists, but we just cant comprehend its multidimensional consciousness which actually, is in every single one of us because we are all a part of that great divine multidimensional consciousness which can reveal itself to you of you really look deep enough within you. Only clairvoyants are lucky enough to have access to this multidimensional consciousness more than most of us do, and these are the enlightened men of old which people now worship as saviors now. You can check out the teachings of a 20th century clairvoyant named edgar cayce and his answers to 15 fundamental questions all humans ask. I'm sure you are a very intelligent person so Just keep an open mind and let your divine inner multidimensional consciousness guide you to deciphering if his words are wrong, Or if you perceive truth in his sayings.

This is the site: http://www.near-death.com/paranormal/edgar-cayce.html
(Read only the 15 NDEs and afterlife index of edgar cayce himself and not the other articles there that were not written by him.)
Hope you find some useful information there bro.

UrennaNkoli:
The kind of things the likes of Seun loves to see..
Accept Christ today.

I must confess that there are lots of contradictions in the bible. I'm not really that much of a religious person but I believe there is a God. Religion is not necessarily the only way to reach him.


I don't believe in religion but I believe in God .

If you don't believe in religion, which version of god do you believe in, then? Also, what makes you think that he wants to be reached?

Weah96:


How can you defend something you yourself don't follow? That's like me, an atheist, creating threads about the benefits of Mormonism and how Joseph Smith was divinely ordained.

Wetin take concern u with dis Jesus? The man described ALL of his followers in advance, so that we wouldn't have any difficulty identifying them in the future.

why are u saying what i didn't say??
i said i am not like Jesus.. i never said I'm not following him... I'm following his teachings... although i have flaws.
he identified his disciples.. like i said.. maybe someday I'll get there... also 70% of the Christians today don't even know Jesus teachings.. that's why i don't usually identify myself with them too much. also concerning why I'm following him... I've seen miracles... sorry.. ive experienced them. I'm not talking about the kind of miracle the pastor performes.. no.. i mean the type just between me and God. science has not been able to explain it.. if u care to know i can tell you

. i don't judge God by what a book said. besides... also i began to study the bible and other religious materials(outside Christianity). found out many lies of our mainstream church and saw the truth about SOME of the false accusations levelled against God. i still have questions... but i won't just dismiss them saying I'm following a lie.. I'll seek the answers to my questions. i apply logic.. that's the difference between me and a dogma.

Audray:
Now I don't have to read this to know that this is the worst"university" ever.
All it's graduands are dumb.

Thanks a lot for not reading it. I now understand why only the humble get admitted into the University of God.

BodyKiss:


If you don't believe in religion, which version of god do you believe in, then? Also, what makes you think that he wants to be reached?

there's a difference.. religion of today is like a cage... the one true religion is a relationship with God. other religions turn u into a dogma.. it teaches u not to ask questions.. to accept all you are told.. a student that doesn't ask questions doesn't understand.

This has to go down as one of the best post ever on this forum

Hope you find the Real TRUTH sir.

[quote author=shadeyinka post=50541191][size=18pt]

Well dear Mr vice chancellor of the university of "Heaven" Let me reveal Real TRUTH To you, and i know you might not decide to read it because you are obviously stuck in the chains of your religious beliefs and it is against the law of LOVE to try and force someone to abandon their beliefs and follow yours, But it is also my duty to try and enlighten any less enlightened soul which i find drowning in the sea of deception, and that is exactly what i am trying to do, but do not in anyway, read this post of your heart tells you not to. But if you feel even the slightest urge to Check it out, even out of mere curiosity, then do, as that curiosity might be the tool which will eventually direct you to the real Path of LOVE AND TRUTH.

There was a beginning in existence, and before that beginning there was a purpose, And behind that purpose there was a consciousness, A mind That first envisioned that reality, A mind which has never Stopped being because it exists in another dimension outside space and time, outside our physical universe, And our universe is just a manifestation of a Great thought Brought into being by The Infinite and most divine power of that consciousness Called LOVE. We can never in a billion years, even come close to understanding this Entity as long as we Are a part of this physical universe. We haven't even been able to understand the way life/existence works outside this planet, talk less of outside this universe. Its Existence can never be fully comprehended by any being in this universe, human or alien no matter how advanced their Evolution might be Because it is the source of all existence and all levels of Realities. We are all the same infinite universal mind, just experiencing its Great endless thoughts through different forms of existence and dimensions. Nothing is really separate, everything is one and one is everything. Division and individuality are just mere tricks of our space and time reality of this physical universe. Every form of life is the same universal consciousness experiencing reality in a whole other factional and minute perspective and that is the joy of existence itself.


But The Ultimate TRUTH, We can easily know by looking deep down within ourselves as conscious beings with a divine Multidimensional conscious soul and by also studying the complex beauty, Order and Laws of Nature and the Universe itself, Then your inner GOD consciousness will instantly reveal itself to you that there is An ultimate cause and reason for existence as a whole, Designed by the infinite multidimensional consciousness called God by we humans, Even before reality was caused into being. Like i said earlier, we cannot come close to comprehending this ultimate entity in our lifetimes here on earth, but we can be aware of its existence Because it manifests itself in all dimensions and all levels of reality,and its quite easy finding this awareness of that Divine multidimensional consciousness in ourselves, you know why? Because all you have to do is dig really deep into the depths of your own consciousness and you will discover that YOU ARE THAT CONSCIOUSNESS, We all are!!! Individuality/separation is the biggest trick in the whole of reality itself because We are all tiny fractions of that universal ever conscious mind which made everything come into being, And the totality of all there was, is, and all there will ever be, Is The ONE Great Universal multidimensional consciousness Which we humans call God.

Religion, was an attempt by The ancient clairvoyant men of Old who also had this awareness that such a source or being that was responsible for the creation of reality existed, And tried to understand this entity to the best of their limited understanding, which eventually resulted in the personalization of that entity based on what they knew at that time. And since back then, The men of old Didn't fully understand the full and true reality of the universe more than a Dog understands what it sees when looking at the sun or the moon, They created their own image based on their own limited understanding of what they felt was God, and Ascribed to it the attributes, role and the position which they gave to the highest Human at that time, Which was the role of a king. And then these traditions and these beliefs were carried from ages to ages. Which is why God is actually "worshiped" like a king just as the ancients worshiped their kings, and also felt their purpose is to "serve" it just like The ancients served their king, and also believed that it gets angry when disobeyed (which is a really serious thing when a king gets angry) and can decide to punish you when you go against its rules just like a King does.And it is so funny how these Traditions and beliefs has been passed down from ages to ages, thereby suppressing our true aim of being here in this earthly existence which is to Grow in our knowledge and comprehension of the Divine multidimensional mind called God simply for the Fear of being Punished by The creator(Or the King of Kings)

I Hereby Boldly state it To you that our purpose of existence is NOT to "WORSHIP" The divine multidimensional consciousness/mind called God, But rather to Grow in our Understanding of this multidimensional Entity through our existence here on earth by which the soul learns through reincarnation and Karma, the consequences of good and evil by picking up negative karma while here on earth through evil deeds, and cleansing or paying back all its negative karma, which can be achieved by sufferings and pains of multiple lifetimes, and mostly through the infinite Power of unconditional LOVE, And Which After all this, the soul becomes a more enlightened soul, And is ready to move on to another level/dimension of Reality and existence to further continue its journey of spiritual Growth of being more at one and more and more connected to that divine infinite multidimensional consciousness/mind which we all call God, whose Sole Power is LOVE Which manifests itself through TRUTH.

Atheism is a man made ideology, that detaches itself from the Self evident Ultimate TRUTH simply because it Does not understand TRUTH.
Religion, is also a man made ideology, which was a more honest effort at trying to Understand the Ultimate TRUTH and which still contains some elements of TRUTH(Though it contained way more GENUINE TRUTHS back then) before it was corrupted by the roman world government at that time and manipulated for the purpose of mental slavery, through the idea of hell fire and Eternal damnation for the soul if it does not live according to the rules of the creator. Although i would support belonging to a religion any day than To be an atheist in which there is no element of truth in, But religion on the other hand, still conveys the ideas of slavery, the idea of the suppression of reason and true knowledge for everyone, And mostly the idea of separation, and it veils the ultimate truth that regardless of our different religion, there is only one GOD.

There is only One God, one Divine Multiversal multidimensional Consciousness in which we are all tiny fragments of, Finding its way back to its source, and DIVINE TRUTH, Which is that which you are not told or taught, but that which reveals itself to you through your inner ever present GOD consciousness Which lies in each and every one of us, Is still the TRUE PATH for all the souls here on earth to follow, And this path was also the path which the clairvoyant men of old,(such as Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster and the rest of them whom we call messiahs today)(Men who had completed their karmic cycles here on earth and had achieved the enlightenment of the soul,thereby have become free from the karmic reincarnation cycles of the earth) out of love and the need to steer lost souls to the right direction, Choose to reincarnate back to earth with their enlightened souls, To Teach Mankind here on earth. And this path Was The PATH OF LOVE manifested Through DIVINE TRUTH as the path for All souls on earth to follow, because it is the Destiny of all souls to Achieve enlightenment and God consciousness like they did.

The evil forces in the world didn't want this, Because all souls achieving enlightenment will bring an end to evil in this world, By greatly utilizing the power of Love through the collective consciousness of every individual consciousness in the world, To turn the earth into a "Paradise" And since evil has always and still rules this world now,(Although temporarily) it wasn't long before the teachings of these clairvoyants were eventually altered by the governments of the world to Establish Religion, Which is a tool to stop the Collective consciousness of the world from working together to change the world and eliminate all forms of self and evil in the world, Rather this tool called religion created separation and discrimination in the minds of humans, Making everyone think that their religion alone is the only path to redemption, thereby succeeding in stopping the collective consciousness of every individual in the world from working together to change the world.

These so called messiahs or saviors never wanted to be worshiped, rather, more than anything else, they desired themselves to be emulated, And hoped all humans Share their True message of LOVE as the source,The ultimate force of the divine multidimensional consciousness/mind through which anything can be achieved, And DIVINE TRUTH as the Path through which This LOVE can be Found.

I Also want to make it clear that this is not a religion, and i am not trying to convert anybody to these beliefs, as in the end TRUTH must and will always prevail as it always does, But since most people have been accustomed to religion all their lives, and must always try to classify a belief system as one, If you want to give it a name, you can call it The religion of LOVE, ONENESS AND TRUTH. BUT No one should be forced into believing anything they choose not to because either we know it or not, we are all following the same path, regardless of our beliefs or religion and all our souls must and will arrive at the point of enlightenment when our earthly cycles are completed, its basically just designed that way by the ever conscious multidimensional divine creator so That no soul can get lost eternally, and must find its way back to redemption and enlightenment. This information has been thoroughly suppressed by the POWERS THAT BE, Here on earth, But luckily for us, The real TRUTH has been revealed to a few clairvoyants, and it is a message that is to be spread with Love, truth and without the use of force in anyway because Truth reveals itself naturally through Love and not by force.


I hope my post was useful in clarifying some doubts and flaws in your mind(Though as a religionists, you will always discredit whatever i say as long as its not in line with the doctrines of your belief, so this post was really not made for you to accept at all cost.You are free to decide to stay focused on your path which is religion and when practiced with a good heart and a genuine desire to be a Good and selfless person Regardless of your religion, And also follow its true principle that can also be found in every other religion, which is still LOVE and spreading it unconditionally to the best you can, everywhere u go, then you are still on the right path and enlightenment is not far from you)

Nevertheless if you are Open Minded, and have an inner yearning for the search of the Raw Undiluted TRUTH, Then you can feel free to comment or ask questions where you deem necessary, and you can also ask questions you still have about topics which i did not mention here and i'll be glad to answer them for you. Thank you all for reading And may you find true Joy, Happiness and peace here on your Earthly journey through The infinite Divine power of LOVE and TRUTH. Have a blessed day.
