Only blind Christians pray that way. Only blind Christians see 'suffer not the witch to die' only but not 'pray for your enemies'. Only blind Christians would see other people apart from themselves as the enemy. Only blind Christians would see old people as witches. Only blind Christians would believe every cork and bull stories told by their pastors. Only blind Christians would blame something other than their ineptitude for their misfortunes.

Blind Christians get help. Use that grey matter inside your skull. You guys revere witches and unknowns too much for their might. Stop seeing through other people's limired eye sight. Grow up.
so if u don't insult me ur message won't be delivered right? I only gave my own point and u are telling me yo grow up,may God help u

The so called christians in nigeria are the most gullible, hyporcritical and confused people on earth, they pick and chose what to believe, and they pick the bible verses that justifies or suits their way of life and behaviours.
the bible also is contradictory hence the confusion. Most christians appears not to understand the bible or christianity because they are too lazy to find out the real truth they just depend on what the pastors says because lies are comforting and the truth is unpleasant

It is very bad to pray for your enemies (humans) to die because no human being is your enemy. We all have a common enemy and it is satan.
Have you seen the devil before?

To that person who allows himself to be used by satan the devil, the bible says woe unto him... Perhaps you do not know that some peeps who have been possessed are unrepentant, the choice is urs to either let them continue to use ur destiny to play kpankpangolo or you invoke the wrath of God, call on the God of Vengeance to fight ur battle.. He says in Ps 81 vs 10, Open your mouth and i will fill it. Closed mouth na closed destiny oooo.

Chai is the bible contradicting itself, or are u guys just pulling out verses out of context to suit ur POV?

Bro. It's quite not a good habit reading the scriptures out if context.

If he (your Pastor) didn't read in context, you have a responsibility to do so that's why you have your own Bible (well am assuming).

He quoted Matt 5:44 and left 45-48 which carries the meaning of the 44. If we continue to interpret scriptures like this we are only going to be giving room to big mess and breed unlearned Christian.
Of course I have my own Bible and i understand that passage very well..

The question here is "what action would you take against an unrepentant enemy"?

Also remember that prayer is a weapon, and according to 2 cor 10:4 "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God in the pulling down of every stronghold"... So in every spiritual warfare prayer is the weapon we use to subdue the will of the enemies, if there were no enemies, the ones of high calling, agents of satan then the bible would never have made mention of it..


Besides, that verse he just used for illustration and not because he lacked understanding of the passage.

Prayer is a waste of time in the first place

The real enemy is Jehovah because it created the devil to taunt us

Shiorr

Jehovah is not and can never be our enemy... Go and read the story of Satan (Lucifer) . is like having a child and he became criminal terrorising the environment and all your effort to help him failed. what will you do than to send him out of your house.. but note that he will surely go out there and disturb people out there. But those that are equipped with weapon or security, he dare not try them. Now, is that your fault?

..... … 43 You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.…

The only enemy that we are permitted to forgive are those that "no not what they're doing" The enemy that knows what he is doing is not gonna stop because you for give.. so you had better cut them off before they cut you short..

Brother .. the devil and his agents are the real enemies. These demons possess people and they use them to torment your life. The people are just ignorant. Just pray that those people encounter Christ so that the demons can be casted out of them. And pray against the works of these people. Thus whatever the demons use them to do will not affect your life. No Christian is expected to kill. No .. it doesnt demonstrate love

Thank you my brother.Those who pray against their enemies have little faith in God. What will be the manner of shame if you pray against someone and find that person in heaven because someone else prayed for his redemption as Christ suggests?.What will we say to Christ who redeemed us.?
Re: As A Believer Is It Good To Pray For Your Enemy To Die? by dragon2(m): 10:28am On Feb 19, 2017
Basically by praying for their death we are hastening their path to hell(those who Christ died a pain full death for and so wants them with him in heaven )adding more souls to the devils kingdom. And we really want to go to heaven after sending others hastily to hell? It is only those who have a presumption that they are heaven bound that build such doctrines. A creation of self righteousness

Same thing he meant when he said u should pray for ur enemies.

Same thing he meant when he said he will prepare a table before you in their presence. So when u kill all of them, how is God going to fulfill that promise if no enemy is remaining grin

AS DAVID TO GOILIATH... YOU MUST DESPISE AND REJECT EVIL IN WHATEVER SHAPE OR FORM IT MANIFEST BE IT A SITUATION OR PERSON
.. DIE BY FIRE!!!!!!

You guys are hilarious. You think you can tell God to kill someone for you as if he didn't send his son to the world to be brutally murdered for them also.

You remind me of a woman i overheard who was praying for God to punish her husband. I was laughing as if God doesn't have his own mind but just exists to give you what you wish for at anytime. Don't you know that God actually has his own plans and his own desires and that if yours don't match his he will not give it to you? God is not a genie who exists to just fulfill your desires amigo. That's why you pray that you are in his will and your will becomes his. That's part of being renewed in your mind.


When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. James 4:3.

Yes it is right if you only ask them to die by fire. It is a sin if you pray they die by any other means. It is in the bible. Ask pastor odukoya of mountain of fire

Yes ooo infact, my prayer have sent one of my enemy to comma in London for the past two weeks.

and you think that God would not hold you accountable for there blood on judgement day?


What did Jesus tell some of his disciples when they were about to reign down fire on some people in the bible? Didn't he warn them?

Its the job of the enemy to kill and destroy, don't work for him. We are light not darkness and our words are meant to impart grace on hearers not curses.
