Myer:The Gospels refer to the recordings of Jesus Christ, the New Covenant that God commands us. The epistles aren't the source of our knowledge but stories from some of those who spent time with Jesus Christ while He was on earth. Jesus Christ is your ONLY Teacher and you should examine your every assumption or understanding of what is written against His word which is the Truth of God. How did Paul Himself put it again? " Let man be a liar and God be True". |

nuttyhnic:Where did Jesus Christ, the New Covenant that is God's Grace and Truth to man, ask or command you to pray for "spiritual growth"?

fetrillion:If you can't even TRUST God at His own word, what do you hope your prayers for "Spiritual growth" will yield if not more of the same MISTRUST in God?

I can see religion is gradually taking over Christianity,the later which is the Very life of Christ that we must live as a Christian. Growing up spiritually is borne out of having PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST.As a result of that there is an hunger induced by His presence to want to know Him more, having the kind of experience that you never had anywhere and you know you can't get anywhere, you settle down to know more of Him. In as much as we are called not to live our lives (cannal) and we don't want to loose Him, we are careful to obey and do His will to maintain the relationship we have got by grace. At this point we don't measure our spiritual life based on how often we are attending church programmes, but seek something deeper. It gets to point that if we are to ask anything in prayers, it's more of Him, because you never get satisfied. Also your Bible study will no longer be methodical, in most cases Holy spirit drag you to Bible via meditations,He will give you scriptures that you will forced to check up. 2 Likes |

Re: When Was The Last Time You Prayed For Your Spiritual Growth? by Sunnybabe(m): 4:15pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
post=92362000:I think what prayer should be is that "The Lord should give us grace to do His will in other grow spiritually and have spiritual knowledge". coz it takes Grace for you to do the words of God and also for the grace to manifest, it takes determination, commitment and dedication. anyways I pray that May God gives us Knowledge |
Re: When Was The Last Time You Prayed For Your Spiritual Growth? by Kobojunkie: 4:27pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
xxxtedyxxx:For one, "A sensible person" would be curious to understand the reason for the mention, not jump to an 'unfounded' conclusion.

Kobojunkie: Lead us not into temptations (may we not succumb to sin. let us be sinless- transformation to be like Christ is the peak of spirituality and it's God desire we be like him) Study this scripture Galatians 6:1-3 and Romans 12:3. I will be glad if you do so Do it before replying first |
Re: When Was The Last Time You Prayed For Your Spiritual Growth? by Kobojunkie: 6:13pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
mhizsuzzy:What? Can you please stop injecting your your DELUSIONS/misconceptions into what is written. The bit mentioned says., "(Our Father)...LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION". Nothing about that says " let us be sinless. Nothing about that says " transform us to be like Jesus Christ" -Jesus Christ endured temptation much like we all do, so how can that even be the meaning in that line? Please re-Read and comprehend what is written in that line as you would any other English language statement abeg.. I suggest you study the Lord's Prayer and Jesus Christ's own examples to understand what Jesus Christ is indeed telling us to do there. And I made certain to ask you examples of Jesus Christ praying for Spiritual growth, by the way.

Kobojunkie: Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version 9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. After the baptism-----40days fasting and prayer-------Temptation. On the earlier post on MOG. It is only pride that makes one not listen to others and think his opinions higher than that was why I recommended for you. Which is clear that you didn't read/study. You really need real communication with God cos you have a lot of pride. God resists the pride. Jesus who we look upon went to the temple and listen with keen to their teachings. He was baptized by John. Elisah/Elijah. He recognized those (the prophets) that came before him. He washed the feet of his disciple even been the son of God in human flesh. You can't know God well only if the spirit does to you. If you have the spirit in you as you said...Are you sure you have not grieve him cos evident of his presence is the fruits you bear and humility is one... Shalom May God bless you |

JourneytoEL:I say Amen to that |
Re: When Was The Last Time You Prayed For Your Spiritual Growth? by mhizsuzzy(f): 6:42pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
Kobojunkie: Temptations leads to sin if you fail. If there is no temptation, there will no sin. Jesus withstand temptation cos he was in constant connection with the father. How can one be in constant connection with the father? In all occasions, pray at all time. It is pride that makes a man not see he needs God in all aspect of his life... Thanks |
Re: When Was The Last Time You Prayed For Your Spiritual Growth? by Kobojunkie: 6:47pm On Aug 09, 2020 |
mhizsuzzy:How can one be in constant connection with the father? When one becomes Born again/Born of the spirit, one is reborn into a state of constant connection to the Father. That is the message Jesus Christ delivered to us all over 2000 years ago, a message that is TRUE even to this day. Those who are born again...God Himself makes His home inside of such and He becomes their only Teacher, Guide, Counselor, Helper, Protector, comforter, etc. Go read through John 14/15/16 to understand what Jesus Christ said about this and the why of this. You need to stop running along with what you have been told...become like a Child, so that instead of letting men teach you, God Himself will, about who He is, what He wants for you, and about Himself.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Brothers and sisters Stay away from Sins, come to God he alone can save. The time is near. Watch and pray!!! God bless you all |
Re: When Was The Last Time You Prayed For Your Spiritual Growth? by Kobojunkie: 6:19am On Aug 10, 2020 |
mhizsuzzy:Jesus Christ walked on earth as He human, so it follows that He experienced most every kind of temptation humans experience, not just the one record of the famed tempting of Jesus Christ after His 40 days of Fasting. mhizsuzzy:What pride made me post the truth according to the word of Jesus Christ ? I didn't offer an OPINION... Nope, I made known what Jesus Christ Himself made clear to all those who are His followers.. His Truth! mhizsuzzy:I didn't read/study what exactly? Real Communication with God? But those of us who are born of the Spirit are in direct communication with God through His very Spirit every moment of every day. So what other communication is there to ask for? And what pride do you continue to speak of? mhizsuzzy:Jesus Christ recognized those that came before Him? Are you somehow suggesting that the very word of the Living God received counsel from the lips of mere men who God used as prophets? Sure, He washed the feet of His disciples, but is this subject about what again? mhizsuzzy:Well, He is not complaining so, NO! mhizsuzzy:This is meaninglessness, you know that, right?
