Oh really?

But the Holy Spirit killed Ananias and Sapphira for lying.


The Holy Spirit struck down Herod with worms for claiming God's glory.

Look at the Old Testament and see the Holy Spirit executing God's wrath on his enemies.

God does not change. His spirit does not change.
He is a consuming Fire. And he executes Judgement according to his sovereignty even till today.

The problem is that you guys have a romantic idea of God is your heads.
A one sided gospel.

Funny! Ok bro. No one ever prayed die in the new testament and we were commanded not to. Go ahead and slaughter your enemies with prayers bro.


John 13: 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Luke 6: 27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.

John 13: 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

Matthew 5: 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

I have already treated this. Nobody prays for your physical enemy to die.
The enemies Jesus asks you to love are your neighbours who are in disagreement with you or offended you physically.

He did not ask you to love the powers of darkness.
The bible said the son of man is made manifest that he may destroy the works of the enemy. 1 John 3:8

What is the difference between destroy and die? It is that same enemy that Jesus came to destroy that MFM prays against to die.

I have never heard MFM pray against iya sikira or iya tunde or anybody that offended you physically. God will not answer that kind of prayer.

We pray against demonic forces and all their activities in a human life . And the prayers work.

If it didn't, people will not be flowing into prayer city on a daily basis.

When situations gets out of hands, people including those who have talked against MFM come to prayer city as a last resort.
And they pray their way to breakthrough by themselves.

MFM is a spiritual intensive care unit. We attend to the worst cases. Those Cases most times are a product of spiritual ignorance.

You go to your ice cream churches ,where they preach ice cream doctrines ,and pray ice cream prayers.

But when you face situations beyond your understanding, that is when you remember MFM.

Bro we all know what they pray about. I was a member of mountain of fire. Some prayer points are like this "Any man, any woman, that is responsible for my problems, die by fire!".

Stop trying to justify what you really don't know. May be that's how you understand it, but that's not what they actually mean. They really want that enemy in human to die. Have you not heard of their testimonies before?

Bro I am not accusing you of praying such prayer, but this is actually what people in mountain of fire and other churches that pray similar prayers mean. They don't preach love, all they preach is how to destroy your enemies. Christianity is love, anything outside that is not Christianity.

They don't preach true Holiness, instead all they talk about is what to wear, the weavon you wear (for women), not putting on jewelleries..., they don't preach true Holiness which is the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which is love, forgiveness, kindness... Pray and ask God to show you more of Him, tell Him you really want to know Him more, believe me, when God start opening your knowledge, you won't be in MFM. Bro just take care. Good night bro.

In the book of Ezekiel, God took the prophet Ezekiel by the spirit to a meeting of witchcraft and then asked him to prophesy against them.

Is prophecy against, a love fest? No. It is warfare.

But some people on nairaland believe God has changed.

My broda, they are spiritual cowards!

Faith without works is nothing. I too follow the God of Papa Olukoya. My God is a Man of War and a Consuming Fire.

I am not a mere prayer warrior. I walk with a Blessed Blade to do His will.

Every Sunday after church I patrol with blade and Bible. I strike down athiest, gay and fallen women without mercy. God grants me this power in His name.

This week I shall walk again. O people of Lagos, pray your heart is clean as I approach you this Sabbath!

I have a lot of MFM prayer books and tapes, and I am telling you what obtains.

We don't pray against people. Ordinary people who offend us.

We pray against demonic forces. And before you can do that successfully, you need to be holy within and without.

And your lifestyle including your dressing must signify purity.

There should be a distinct difference in the dressing of a prayer warrior or prophetess of God and any average girl on the street dressing for admirers.

We preach the fruits of the spirit more than anything else.
Someone who is in deliverance ministry cannot afford to be angry, or impatient or proud.

That is leaving room for satanic counter attacks.

A lot of you are Ignorant on MFM.

You need Jesus. You need to be born again. You need to be delivered from the spirit of unforgiveness. You need love.. You need Jesus Christ. You need to be saved.

I was a member of MFM, until I had an encounter with God through this scripture ...Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

That scripture was like telling me I need to understand the Love of Christ. That scripture communicated with me. It made me know it's all about what Christ did and made me know I have to understand the love of Christ. A scripture I read regularly started speaking a different thing from what I use to read. It spoke love. It let me know if I can be saved, then anyone can be. No one deserves to die in their sin.

That scripture let me know the love of Christ is so great to understand but I can understand with the help of the Holy Spirit. Brother, no wonder Jesus said the words He speaks are life and Spirit. Just that scripture changed my thinking and understanding in seconds. That particular scripture communicated with me.

I can't really explain it here, it was like a miracle. After that day, my understanding changed, I stopped living in fear, I stopped praying against generational curses, place of birth, placenta... Because that scripture made me know they have been payed for and settled by Jesus Christ but they only exist when I am not aware of the truth...

Sorry if you don't understand what I am trying to explain, because I can't really explain it clearly here. Just tell God you want to know Him more, tell Him to reveal Himself to you. Pray with Jeremiah 33 :3, God will open your understanding. I am still growing in His understanding and by His grace I will continue to grow. May God help us all.

Then why did Paul in Ephesians 6:12 say we wrestle not against Flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Do you know what it means to wrestle? It means an exerting conflict.

If the greatly anointed Paul had to wrestle with principalities and powers long after Jesus died ,then who are you not to?

Are you more immune than Paul?

You are saying a different thing. We do wrestle against principalities and powers. I never said anything about this. Read my messages very well. We are talking about praying against your human enemies to die.

The Bible says many are the afflictions of the righteous... That means there's a lot of battle. In fact the moment you become born again, your enemies (principalities and powers of darkness) double. You need to pray without ceasing.

But what we are arguing is praying against human enemies. Your last message is not relevant to our discussion.

His message is on course .

How would you know which enemy is ordinary human and which is an agent of darkness in a prayer point .

Do they mention their enemy's name in their prayers ?

May be you did not read my messages. Some prayer points like "Any man any woman, that is responsible for my problems, die by fire!"
"That man that woman, in my father's house, that says I will not move forward, what are you waiting for, die die die"
Or are you saying you have not heard such prayers. Why not read through before asking questions. Listen to their testimonies too, you will understand clearly. You guys should stop covering the truth. Let's say it how it is. Heaven should be our target. Let us subdue pride and be ready to take corrections. Pride is an enemy.

Besides, why must we even use 'die', why not follow simple way the Bible teaches us. Principalities and powers do not die. Jesus casted out demons and never commanded them to die.

The prayer that "any man or woman in my fathers house that says I will not move forward should die " is a prayer against witchcraft powers in that family. This is not prayer against an ordinary enemy.
To witch evil against your fellow human being is witchcraft and to use charms and other diabolic means to put someone in bondage is a witchcraft and wickedness.

You can give all you have to a witch to please him or her, it does not change them , they will hate you the more. You cannot pray for a witch to change . Most of them would rather die than to give their lives to Jesus.

God says we should not allow witches and wizards to live.

This is a very very good prayer. Those devils incarnate are wicked and should destroyed , if not they will destroy the person.
Part of their activities are afflicting people will insanities , untimely death , and turning a shinning star to a non entity etc.

So, if you don't know what it means to say die to wicked powers , ask the Holy Spirit , he will tell you those prayers are godly.

If we argue till next year, you will still justify this human doctrine. You are trying to tell me there were no witches during the days of the Apostles, that's why they didn't command witches to die. Just as it's hard to correct a Catholic... You can continue with what you believe dear. With die respect, I am done chatting with you. Thanks and God bless.

I am very sure you don't read your Bible for understanding.

The apostles did something worse than mere praying against evil powers. A land owner who only lied to the apostles was killed along with his wife because God did not want pollution among the them :

Acts 5:1-5,8-9 KJV
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
[2] And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it , and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. [3] But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
[4] Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
[5] And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
[8] And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
[9] Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.


Peter did not pray for sapphira to be forgiven but prophetically sent her to the grave , why ?

Ananais and Sapphira were not as evil as witches and wizards , still God killed them.

Lastly , go and read about the Great Prophet AYO Babalola , you will read about how witches and wizards died in hundreds after drinking water prayed on by the Prophet .

I don't know who made you people Judges over Churches of God. Why don't you people concentrate on your salvation with fear and trembling leaving judgement to God .

[4] Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
[5] And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
[8] And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
[9] Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.


Peter did not pray for sapphira to be forgiven but prophetically sent her to the grave , why ?

Ananais and Sapphira were not as evil as witches and wizards , still God killed them.

Lastly , go and read about the Great Prophet AYO Babalola , you will read about how witches and wizards died in hundreds after drinking water prayed on by the Prophet .

I don't know who made you people Judges over Churches of God. Why don't you people concentrate on your salvation with fear and trembling leaving judgement to God .

We should be referring to the Bible and not Babalola. Thank God you said God killed him and not Peter praying for him to die by fire. Bro may God help you. Remove anger as you chat. I am done chatting with you, like I said, believe your own, let me believe my own. Good night.

I for one dislike praying those kinda prayers. When ever those kinda prayers are raised, in a gathering, I either speak in tongues, sing, or keep quite. I think it's high time xtians spent more time praying for spiritual upliftment than for an enemy to die. There is a level u reach in ur walk with god that even d devil wil not b able to afflict u.

God is love

God is love but He hates the wicked :

Genesis 13:13 KJV
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.

GOD KILLED THE WICKED IN SODOM.

Genesis 38:7 KJV
And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord ; and the Lord slew him.

GOD KILLED ER .

Exodus 9:27 KJV
And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the Lord is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

GOD LATER KILLED PHARAOH AND EVERY FIRST MALE CHILD OF THE EGYPTIANS DUE TO THEIR WICKEDNESS.

Exodus 23:7 KJV
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Psalm 7:11 KJV
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

Psalm 9:17 KJV
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Psalm 55:15 KJV
Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

This Psalm 55 is part of the scriptures and it is about a prayer against the enemies . You are therefore wrong to say prayers against enemies are unscriptural , unless you want to claim that the old testament is not part of the scriptures.
The God of the old testament is also the God of the new testament , He does not change.

God killed Ananais by Himself and Paul prophetically killed Sapphira in the new testament.

Lastly , you cannot force God to kill anyone. The prayers of commanding the enemies ( Satan and the demons ) to die are not for ordinary human enemies .

God is love but the wcked shall end in hell for eternity , not to enjoy , but to suffer.

I actually opened this thread for Christians and not for Judaism religion. Try sir and understand why you are a Christian and what Christianity means. Stop arguing blindly Sir. Your comment shows you are a bit more ignorant than I thought. I don't mean any insult.

Paul didn't kill anybody in case you don't know. Read that scripture and read again, you will understand. He didn't kill or prayed for him or the wife to die, rather he already saw it in the spirit that she will die just like her husband... Na wah oh! What has Christianity turned into.

I even thought you already said you guys don't pray for the human enemies to die. You accepted and decided to defend it desperately. What is so confusing about what Jesus commanded us about praying for our enemies and loving them? Why are struggling so hard to contradict that command.
Thanks.

You are not a christian yet , if you were , you wouldn't see the Bible as being divided into 2. One for Judaism and the other for Christianity .

Frankly speaking , you are the one that is ignorant and arguing blindly.

Why did Peter not pray for Sapphira? Why did God kill her?
Is lying to keep part of your belongings , after given half out , as wicked as killing innocent souls and destroying peoples destinies , which witches and wizards commit ?

If this event had happened in any present church in Nigeria , what would have been your commit ? You would have joined others to say "the church is satanic because God is love after all the land belonged to the man and his wife" , that would have been your response. Be truthful to yourself.


The purpose why you opened this thread is evil and satanic.
What is your business with how people pray in their church ?
Who made you a judge over the church ? How does praying in Jesus' name your problem ? Do they physically attack their enemies?

What should concern you is why should someone make himself or herself an enemy to someone.

There are so much good things you can open a thread for , like the killings perpetrated by the Boko Haram and the herdsmen in the name of religion , not something that will bring divisions among Christians .

The purpose for which you opened the thread was what made you to resort to insult , when I did not insult but was only trying to educate you , and that purpose is evil.

Hmm. You have been noticed, though in a wrong way. You can now move on dear. I need Christians who know why they are Christians to comment here, not people who do not even know what Christianity means. It pains me that people like you are much in our midst. I wonder what is happening. May God help us. Please, I am begging you to open your own Boko Haram thread and don't come here to insult people. Move on.
