Good afternoon everyone...
I greet you all in the name of the Lord JESUS Christ
Brother Charles, Bro Joseph, Bro Nnamdi, Sis Analice, etc....
Trust everyone is doing good...
It's unfortunate I have been on and off on the Platform...
I have a dream which I dreamt this morning. I would like to narrate the dream so that our brethren with the Gift of dream understanding and interpretation will assist...
"Actually, I recently lost my job sometime last month. I resigned without notice after being cajoled to do so and the company refused to pay me my salary for the whole month plus my leave days. I have moved on and have forgotten about it.
So in this dream, I received a WhatsApp message from the company's managing director which I just resigned from. He requested for a particular document Which I can't exactly remember, I think it's a termination document or something, but it seems like he urgently needed that document and I had it. I replied him that I can't give it to him and since I refused to get paid, I can't provide it.
He then replied me that the first offer was cancelled and now I have a new offer, which means I will get paid so that I give him the document...He agreed to pay me the money I worked for in AUGUST so I will give him the document.i was really delighted and i was celebrating...
The next thing, I saw myself at the basement entrance of the company...I don't know what I was doing there. I think I was waiting for someone...
Now opposite me, there were three police officers in uniform and their guns, they were eating... After they finished eating, they immediately took their guns and ran into the basement looking for someone ....it was obvious they were looking for someone....And I don't think this Police officers were good officers because they even pointed the gun and attacked the security man inside the basement...Why would the Police attack the security man, after all they are supposed to work together...And I also don't understand why they had to finish eating before they started looking for whoever they were looking for, because if they are urgently looking for someone, a thief or whoever, food can wait, but they took their time to finish eating before they started looking for who they were looking for.
All the while, I was standing opposite them, I didn't think they saw me, Maybe they did but they didn't take notice of me.... Immediately they ran into the basement, I was led to run away...I don't know why, Maybe something Inside told me to run....
But it happened that the person the police were looking for was me and they didn't know I was standing opposite them. Immediately I turned to run, they started chasing me..and a forth man appeared and was chasing me also...
Now I started running so fast. They were still chasing me, I wasn't looking back but I knew they were still chasing me...
Now the very funny thing is that, unlike other dreams I have dreamt, this one, I was conscious it was a dream, I knew this was a dream. Even, I wanted to stop at a point to give up, after all it was a dream, but I decided to continue running to a certain junction... because they Place in the dream is the same place in real life where that company is...
So I decided to run and reach one particular junction...
But at a point when I was running, I felt them coming close to me, and I prayed, I asked God to strengthen me or send His angels to lift me up. I remembered I said that. After saying that, my speed increased and I reached that junction faster than I would have... I got to the junction, I decided to take left and then I hid between a Group of people.....
And then that fourth Guy who appeared and was chasing me also, came up to the junction, he was the only one....I didn't see the police officers Again....
He came to the junction and was wondering where I went , which route I took. I think he Also turned left....
It was at that point that I woke up....
I woke up very pressed and thirsty. I went to urinate, drank water and came back to pray....
I still don't understand the dream, but I remember it very well....

Please anybody led by God can help me interpret...
Thank you...

Brother I wish so too....Wish there was a WhatsApp GROUP or Facebook Platform for sharing all these insight and

TheNazarene:
I wish there was a whatsapp group for this thread, where we can share revelations just as we do here, even deeper ones war might not want to share on a public forum and pray, fast accordingly...

God is not revealing mysteries to us as a perk of our relationship with Him but to also thwart or delay the works of darkness...

Just imagine this revelation of pyramids, the devil and his children have been preparing delicately nefariously since ages, Kai!!!

This gave me a reality check when I read it...

I will go to heaven and I will go on a high pedestal in Jesus Name.

Hello brethren, longest time...Hope everyone has been fine... I have been away for a long time. I appreciate everyone who sent me wishes on my birthday...I am so grateful that I have well wishers even on nairaland...God bless you all. And I want to cease the opportunity to address a very crucial issue... Brethren the Bible says that God Himself will build His church & the gates of hell shall not prevail against in ...this means that there is an ongoing fight between the Church of God & hell.... but what is a church A church is not only the building where we all come to worship....A church could mean an assembly of believers not only in a building but also in fellowship anywhere...permit me to say that this particular thread is a church here in nairaland.... and it's very obvious that The gates of hell are battling this thread seriously....the Word of speaking, "Lest Satan take advantage of us for we are not ignorant of his devices"....and I believe we members of this thread are not ignorant....the rate at which agents of Satan parading themselves as free thinkers, atheists & even opposition are flooding this group is really alarming...how can someone just pop out from the shadows and start accusing members we know their standing to be occultists and even have the courage to call God's anointed generals occult members....I don't think we need a prophet to come tell us this people are demonic agents sent to smear and dent the image of these good members and men Of God....Please as spirit-filled brethren, we shouldn't be ignorant of this truth and beware of these perpetrators. Let's all continue praying for the thread as we have been blessed by it one way or the other....
Because I can't fathom the fact that out of a thousand plus threads on nairaland, they chose this particular thread to carry out their demonic devices...This goes a long way to show that the devil is not happy and is trying every possible means to stop the blessing coming from the thread but we have an assurance that be won't prevail...
Brethren, please beware of this people and avoid them strictly as wisdom is profitable to direct. It's even better to avoid them than to get into an argument with them. I don't want to call names but I stand to decree that for every agent of the devil that has dared to step into this thread to cause confusion will experience the judgement of the most high God in the name of Jesus Christ....that is if they refuse to stop their evil activities...
Thank you very much....
Have a blessed day!!!

Good day brethren, please I need your help especially our brethren blessed with the gift of interpreting dreams...Bro Charles and Co...
I dreamt that in a church programme [ I didn't recognise both church & minister], I was running around, looking for someone to play the drums coz there was no drummer. Unfortunately, the people I found did not perform @ all. When they sit to play, it's either they play rubbish or some couldn't play @ all. I brought like 2 or 3 people to play[ I can't remember exactly] . So @ the end of the day, I played the drums myself & I played it so perfectly and professionally that people began asking why I was looking for people to play when I could play so perfectly.[ It was not as if I never knew I could play the drums in that dream, twas just that I was so busy, doing other things so i was looking for who else to play it but I ended up playing it very well]. And the funny part is that I play the drums in real life but I can't just explain. I played the drums in that dream so professionally like I have never played in real life. I have a deep feeling that this is not an ordinary dream.

Also I dreamt in another dream that we were shooting a movie but it seemed like the movie became a reality....and in that dream I was the protagonist, but I was the hero of the movie/dream. I saw myself saving people from one snake-like beast... I saved like 3 people from that beast in the dream an I even saved the Princess of the land.....the dream was like an action dream. Also know this is not an ordinary dream... I seldom remember my dreams but this one's I was able to remember them to a point before i wrote them down.
Please I need help interpreting the dreams...Thank you and meanwhile, today is my birthday....need your wishes and prayers more than ever.....

You asked a question before


This you should know that God had given every man right from Adam freewill that is freedom to do whatsoever they like and HE would not override that freedom. Since the day Adam and Even had eaten of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Aden man has obtained the knowledge of good and evil



Now since you know what is good and what is bad, God is expecting to show maturity in walking with HIM and choose to do what is right, know that God wont force on you any instruction, but this is how he will continue to WARN, INSTRUCT YOU, through your on conscience. If you do bad, you conscience will judge and condemned you, and if you do good you have guiltless conscience but the conscience can be killed through willful and continual disobedience to God spirit in your conscience. Are you flowing with me? Am expecting YES BROS as answer
A good example in the Bible is Samsom, He was called by God but, [s]the guy still dey misbehave, chasing the philistine babe[/s] Yet God still permit him for HIS (God's) purpose, but samson life was soon cut short, died prematurely this is the danger of neglecting God's call, unfulfilled dream and purpose.


Should I ask God for a sign

No Dont, dont throw fleece, Abraham did not question God, Obedience was his first righteousness and God bless and prosper him. And if you wanted to be sure of your calling, what i will say is every Human being has calling or purpose on earth, no one is born by mistake, and you did not choose the following God chooses it for you to fill in the gap (Race[black or white], Continent, Country, Town, Parent)
Abi Sis Analice107, holahmihdeh, etidy, nnamdiosu et' al na you choose your own?

Finally If you wanted to be sure of your calling or know the purpose, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN, that is it no shortcut.
Genuinely Give and surrender your live to Jesus[Salvation], not just being a church man, Pray for Purity and cleansing of heart[Sanctification], Lastly Pray for Holy Ghost Baptism. Then HE (Holy Ghost) will reveal to you all you need to know about your calling, HE will not only reveal, but will also teach and train you yea HE is your personal coach

analice107:
Hmmmm. I dont want to talk more on this matter. But the Word of God is not a gift. gifts are given to specific persons for specific purposes to benefit the Kingdom. The word of God is a guide, instructions for all believers. When the Bible says "Study to show yourself approved unto God..." It wasn't referring to Kumuyi or Oyedepo, it referred to all of us. These men simply heeded to the instructions that many of us today have neglected and now have insights.

This is how error gets planted into the Church. The Word of God is not a gift. Its like saying the Holy Spirit is a gift. Every believer OUGHT TO HAVE THE WORD AND THE SPIRIT. Laziness is the result of this.
Oyedepo has the gift of the word of God, so i don't need to read it, let him read for me. ERROR

Aunty Analice... you are an action woman just like Bishop Oyedepo oh....And of the few people who have really inspired me in this thread, your name is on the first batch...I appreciate.... More grace to your elbows.

etidy:
Hello brother you're welcome. I hope this answers will help.
Firstly it's important to understand that everything a child of God does is actually a ministry because it's supposed to be in service to God. Meaning you can be in service to GOD as a businessman e.g Abraham and Job, you can be in service as a politician e. g Daniel and Joseph even a banker or musician is in a ministry as long as its servicing God's interest. So don't let anyone box you into thinking you must be pastor to serve God. Serving God is just doing what you're created to do in service to God.
However there is the office of the five fold ministry I. E the Apostle, prophet, pastor, evangelist and teacher whose duty is prepare And spiritually equip the others in the body of Christ for their respective work for God.
On the matter of calling. It's important to note that there is a DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR GIFTS AND CALLING. YOUR GIFT IS THE GRACE OF GOD GIVEN TO YOU TO PERFORM A SPECIFIC TASK WITH EASE, IT'S AN ENABLEMENT GIVEN TO YOU TO FULFIL YOUR CALLING. HOWEVER YOUR CALLING IS THE SPECIFIC THING GOD WANTS YOU TO DO WITH IT. For example that you have the gift of discernment of spirits doesn't make you automatically a prophet, and that you are prophet doesn't mean you are sent to everyone or sent to prophesy everything. E.g Joel was a prophet sent to Prophesy the coming of the Holy Spirit and the endtimes, Jeremiah was sent to the nations so you will see several prophesies he prophesied to several nations. Samuel was also a prophet but he was sent only to Isreal. Paul was an apostle to the gentiles. You can be a teacher and you are only sent to teach the subject of faith or grace. So an actual calling tells you who you're sent to and what you are sent to do with your gifts and when to set out.
So it often (not always, GOD is mysterious and can do anything he likes, how he likes) starts with you discovering that you manifest a kind of gift or grace e.g Teach easily, inspired to write songs, seeing Visions, having knowledge of hidden things e.t.c . Don't jump into ministry presumptuously at this stage or BE WORRIED EVEN IF YOU RECIEVE A PROPHECY POINTING TO WHAT YOUR CALLING MAYBE. Just keep exercising that gift of yours as God allows it per time where God has put you AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WALK IN GOD's general will for all (His revealed instructions in the word) which includes SANCTIFICATION, DILLIGENCE IN WHAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN, PRAYER, FASTINGS, VAST STUDY OF THE WORD OF GOD. Continue your education or whatever you are doing now and do it more diligently but beware of distractions, The anointing often attracts the devil and he comes with diverse tactics to derail you (sufferings, ladies ,family sef) be focused. Then along line at God's appointed time, he will speak to you clearly on what he specifically wants you to do in a way that you can't deny he's the one speaking, don't rush in until he unveils his perfect will for you. BUT IN THE MEAN TIME BE SANCTIFIED, BE DILLIGENT, STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED BOTH THE BIBLE /ANOINTED BOOKS AND YOUR BOOK IN SCHOOL. BECAUSE MANY ARE CALLED FROM BIRTH BUT ONLY FEW ARE CHOSEN AND SENT. THE PROBLEM IS NOT WHAT TO DO, BUT WHO TO SEND, GOD CAN'T SEND JUST ANYBODY TO DO HIS WORK, THATS WHY YOU HEAR HIM SAY "WHO SHALL I SEND? WHO WILL GO FOR US? " Isaiah 6:8, until he removed the iniquity in Isaiah's mouth on verse 7, he couldn't send him. God sets apart him that is godly for himself (psalms 4:3)
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Timothy 2:19‭-‬22 KJV
God is always seeking to see who amongst those he has given the gifts(Grace to do) to see who he can send on specific tasks,
“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” Ezekiel 22:30
THE SPIRITS OF THE PROPHETS ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROPHETS, BEWARE OF PERSONAL PROPHESIES NO MATTER HOW GIFTED THAT PERSON IS. Don't despise it but test it with the word of God and wait for him to fulfil it. God bless you

Bless you too....Thank you very much for your piece of advice......pray for grace

nnamdiosu:
No 1: yes. E.g David, job, Jacob and even jesus himself had to suffer etc you are been purified in the furnacez tried like gold. And ehn you come out.....oh...you'll shine bright like the morning star.

No 2. Perfectly proper. E.g Gideon, moses, and sooooo many other people. Guess what? No one should ever go into Gods work without proper conformation or signs from him. Never ever never. Its a big sin to even go into ministry if God didn't call you.

No 3. Yes sir. Those with that gift are simply called teachers. They pieces the Bible like they are eating amala and ewedu.


No 4. Just relax. Don't be anxious (you might just end up.starting before its time) when God calls someone he tells the when to start. Trust me if God is ready for you...you will know. Just be telling him to help u fulfil your destiny. To guide you. To give you a child's heart. Etc.

Ask him to confirm strongly. Don't worry, everything is gonna be all right. Trust him. Rest in him. I love u bro.

Love you too. Thanks

nnamdiosu:
Chairman....you are highly welcome. Thanks for the compliment. And no we don't dispose anyone. Even if you are a two year old. From my little experience with God....he sometimes prefer using the youngest of 'last borns' r.g david, joseph, jacob, moses, solomon etc. so that the senior ones won't glory in his presence ? ( I think ). Feel free to share ur experiences....we all are eager to learn from you sir.
And wen you say a gift like the word of God what exactly do u mean? Feel free.....this is your heavenly father's personal thread on nairaland.

Thank you very much baba...I have learnt a lot from you in particular.

Jacksonville:
Wow, it's good u had these experiences .. You can't be aware when u begin to speak wisely. Others will discern it..

Your music orientation is a hint. See all i wanted to be was an artist if i dnt become a doctor.. I always loved to sing..you don't necessarily need to have a good voice, but the zeal and will to sing..

As for the dreams, they are signs.. I dnt understand most of my dreams because they seem meaningless. I was told before now that i dnt understand my dreams and visions. But trust me, in God's time he will open ur eyes and heart to see and understand his ways, because they are mysterious to ordinary eyes of view.


Don't ask GOD for a sign or else you might be in a state of shock for a long time. God might not want to scare you at this age ....
When it's time, he will show himself to u in a light form(in dreams or physical ) and you will hear his voice...

But keep praying and always meditate on hIS WORD, because his WORD is suffecient for you.

God is raising generals for his kingdom ..the endtime is near.. In the last days, he said he will pour down his spirit and our sons and daughters will prophesy, our youths will see visions and our elders will dream dreams!.. Acts 2:17

I'll say this to you as i was told. Cut short everything that will hinder GOD's blessings on ur life. Work towards God's plans for you by following Jesus christ.. He's the way , the truth and life... No man goes to the father except through Jesus christ.

Accept him as ur lord and saviour, and every other thing will be added to you.

God will deal with ur bad habits(addictions), insecurities and shyness etc..
All this is for preparation. Till he deals with all of them, u're not ready for the CALL....because if u must be a man of GOD, u must be clean in the heart because u'd be GOD's vessel in form of the holy spirit..

Thank you very much brother. I have heard you and pray for more grace.

Good day brethren, please I would love everyone to read this my story, a lot to learn....
God bless you all as you read.[color=#990000][/color]
I am the first & Only son in a family of 4. I was born out of wedlock, I wasn't even dedicated like my peers were .I was only taken to church for a pastor to pray for me after church service. I was born in Kaduna and I was trained by my mother's people. My father's people never liked my mum coz they felt she charmed their son to fall in love with her and this hatred transcended to us. During my birth and infant stage, my mum had to go stay with my dad's people and they maltreated the hell out of her coz my dad had to go hustle in Lagos as a man. So my mum had to return to her place. from there we went to Lagos to meet my dad who was now a bit established.I started schooling there but things became hard so we had to retire to the village while my dad travelled to South Africa. I was taken in by my aunt (mums sister) and her husband who together with my mums people saw me through primary school and some years in the secondary school before my dad now got established here in SA. My childhood days was hell, I never had the opportunity and privilege to enjoy what other children enjoy, I never had what my other peers had. I never for one day enjoyed any latest trend invoke at any particular time and I didn't have the opportunity to Enjoy fatherly love just like my mates.
But during my school days, I was lucky to always be the best, if I wasn't the best, I would be among the best both academically and in all school activities. I was very popular in school then.( During this period, my dad's people never even asked after me talk more of training me ). My dad now also saw me through secondary school too...while in Kaduna, I became a Catholic, was baptized and received what Catholics refer to as First Holy Communion there too... Sometimes when I visit my other aunties I attend their own church which is assemblies of God...even though I was yet to know Christ well, I still loved the things of God. I was always participating in church activities like a pastors son. I even represented my aunties church (AG) in the annual Bible Society of Nigeria Competition which I won for them in their district. Every church I attended, if I wasn't in the choir as an instrumentalist, I would be in the usher. Yet I never had a personal relationship with God.
In 2013, my mum went over to SA to join my dad....when I finished secondary school, my jamb results wasn't too good even though I was very intelligent then in school.....Was just like an irony. People who I was better than a million times made their jamb but I didn't even get up to 180, so poor.
My dad tried everything possible for me to go to school but to no avail...I never knew God was working something behind the scenes for me...
So I went to PH from Kaduna to go apply for Madonna University. While I was there I stayed with my uncle and my uncle attends Salvation Ministries(Minister: David Ibiyeomie)  and then I had to attend the Church too. Never knew that that was where God was sending me to. I never liked the church @ first cos of the way they prayed‎. They prayed so aggressively that if I tried praying like that, my belly would pain me for the rest of the day and even when they pray the simplest prayer, they must quote one scripture and I wasn't too familiar with scriptures like that and as a Catholic, we didn't pray aggressive prayers like that...Although I liked the man Of God and the standard of the Church coz he was humorous and even though I was a Catholic, I could see God's grace upon Him and the Church....
As months passed by I began to like the church and I was getting used to the church & it's precepts.... I later gave my life to Christ properly and joined the technical service group and from there I became zealous to go to Bible School.... so I saved money, attended Bible school (WOLBI) Basic....i never knew that God was preparing me for a task ahead....the Madonna university I came to apply for didn't work out again...I now refused to go back to Kaduna but I remained in PH coz of the church... I now became a Bible guru...Me who didn't even know up to 10 verses in the Bible was now praying on the altar & leading in Pre-Service workers prayer.
Then in 2015, my dad now changed his mind about me schooling in Nigeria, he wanted me to come over to south Africa and school there. And he wanted me to come along with his mother, our papers were processed and everything ready!!!
We never knew that woman, his mum was a witch, a devil in angels clothing...
When we got to Lagos from PH, we discovered that the agent who bought tickets for the both of us cheated us and the tickets were fake, we were disappointed and wanted going back to Ph and postponing the journey but my uncle pitifully decided to buy another tickets for us again....we never knew it was God warning us but we were insensitive. We finally got to the airport and my grandmother (dad's mum) was tested with High BP and was declared unfit to fly. Then we started begging, my dad's pastor in South Africa even called and prayed for her on phone and then the BP reduced. We didn't know it was also a second warning from God for us not to fly, but we foolishly kept going. Her BP finally reduced and then she was now fit to fly. We arrived south Africa the next day.... and all was well for the main time...
We never knew the worst challenge of our life was waiting for us ahead....we never also knew that the person my father called his mum was a witch from the marine world, a python spirit for that matter. And it was because of her that God was trying to cancel the journey but we were so spiritually insensitive and today we are  paying the price for our insensitivity...
Will continue my story tomorrow....Goodnight

Peritus:
Now u are getting me more confused with your question. Your question has drifted from the first, if I really got u right.
Well, let me start by saying that Bible is a book containing the Word of God. God's Word doesn't need Bible to exist or come into effect but Bible is there for us to see, (hear) and know what God says. Now, it is for us to study it dutifully so as to know more about Him and what He says (not said). His Words are the tools we use, starting from Genesis to Revelation.
When you are equipped with God's Word (sword) you may be able to use it against situations and to pray. God's Word cannot go back to Him unfulfilled. This is why u dont just read the Bible, but you study, (listen) and act on it.
You don't need somebody to 'prescribe' some verses for u like medicine. you have to read yourself and listen to God speak to u.

thanks much bro Peritus... I appreciate

Wow, it's good u had these experiences .. You can't be aware when u begin to speak wisely. Others will discern it..

Your music orientation is a hint. See all i wanted to be was an artist if i dnt become a doctor.. I always loved to sing..you don't necessarily need to have a good voice, but the zeal and will to sing..

As for the dreams, they are signs.. I dnt understand most of my dreams because they seem meaningless. I was told before now that i dnt understand my dreams and visions. But trust me, in God's time he will open ur eyes and heart to see and understand his ways, because they are mysterious to ordinary eyes of view.


Don't ask GOD for a sign or else you might be in a state of shock for a long time. God might not want to scare you at this age ....
When it's time, he will show himself to u in a light form(in dreams or physical ) and you will hear his voice...

But keep praying and always meditate on hIS WORD, because his WORD is suffecient for you.

God is raising generals for his kingdom ..the endtime is near.. In the last days, he said he will pour down his spirit and our sons and daughters will prophesy, our youths will see visions and our elders will dream dreams!.. Acts 2:17

I'll say this to you as i was told. Cut short everything that will hinder GOD's blessings on ur life. Work towards God's plans for you by following Jesus christ.. He's the way , the truth and life... No man goes to the father except through Jesus christ.

Accept him as ur lord and saviour, and every other thing will be added to you.

God will deal with ur bad habits(addictions), insecurities and shyness etc..
All this is for preparation. Till he deals with all of them, u're not ready for the CALL....because if u must be a man of GOD, u must be clean in the heart because u'd be GOD's vessel in form of the holy spirit..

Thank you very much Bro. Jackson... pray for more grace.

Jacksonville:
I understand your situation...I guess we're on thesame page.. I'm as well a young man here too...

Don't worry about the signs and confirmations, because if the calling is genuine, God will make others discern this calling upon your life anywhere u find urself..

I as well received a prophetic word describing and announcing my calling , just like u....

The sign is a mark on you.. Only the ones with prophetic insight will be able to discern it @ ur young age.. Elders too might discern it...now the questions are

1. Do you see images/visions, and dreams(prophetic dreams)

sometimes i see images of places, buildings, mountains and multi-coloured skies.

writings, books with inscriptions..

All these i see with my eyes shut or opened...
I've had too many revelations..the current one i had and shared with my family was about my aunt and her last born..

In the realms of the spirit, the enemy sent a killing sword to kill her last born...while she was panicking in the realms of the spirit.

Not quite long we received a call that my aunt's last born(a year old) was thrown from a story building and when he landed on solid groud, nothing happened to him.

Whatever danger that is revealed is what GOD has averted.

This is another confirmation and people around u will confirm this.

2. Do you have this revelatory gifts like words of wisdom and knowledge plus discerning of spirits..??

Sometimes when i'm conversating with friends.. I begin to hear them saying ..''guy, you're so wise i wish i could live like u''. And i'm like, ''what??, i'm being plain and u call that wise?''

Sometimes i have this strong feeling deep inside of me like someone is staring at me or like am not alone.

I've had a short prayer session and when i opened my eyes in the dark, i saw a bright disappearing light like a camera flash..

With all these signs, i'm not still satisfied..but let the will of GOD be done..

3Do you love music? ..
Music is a way of drawing God's presence especially in worship.

I've always loved music and it came in a way that i don't love razz songs but soft songs which makes me want to worship.

When i was still listening to worldly songs, my friends used to tell me to stop acting like a girl and listen to hip/hop ..

I love to worship God ..

Number 2 isnt really necessary but it comes from the impartation of Jesus christ..


But no matter what, don't derail from the path of righteousness.. Be steadfast and prayerful..

If the calling is truly upon u..I won't be surprised if you tell me ur childhood was miserable, limited love, loneliness. You've always had very hard times that made u cry so much.

You fantasise alot, you think in pictures, you wish u had a better life... Etc..

If it's so, then you're undergoing a training which is for your own good and don't expect things to be rosy alltime... Because GOD is going to deal with every aspect of ur life that might hinder u from answering the CALL.

You will get to a point where you only depend on him and not man.

Every great man had a story to tell. Stay blessed


All things will work together for your good because God is with you..

Shalom!

Brother I love these great words and everything you said just rhymed with my life except for the dreams and word of knowledge / wisdom...
I dream meaningless dreams most times..i don't think I have ever dreamt and that dream came to pass. I also dream bad dreams sometimes which I pray against...
My childhood was a mess....although I was very intelligent back then in school, I was always the best. And it spread from school to church....every church I went to then, they always call me pastor....coz I loved things of God alot even now. And I was always participating in every church activity ...
But for Music, I don't have a good voice..but I am an aspiring artist. I write both secular and Gospel songs, I have even recorded one of my numerous songs....i am a very good songwriter such that I get inspired by everything and when I compose a song, everybody likes it....they even nicknamed me the next generation wizkid then in school but the irony of everything was that even though I was a very good song writer, I didn't have a good voice. My voice was crap....
That leads me to another question!!!!
Since God wants me to serve him, why then does He inspire me to write songs
Or is it the devil who has been inspiring me all along
And funny enough, every church I attend I always join the choir and am also an instrumentalist. Coz i love singing a lot and praising God as well....
But I need more answers.....
Do all these prove that I have a calling
How can I know
Should I ask God for a sign

[/i]

Peritus:
You are right. In this context I see word of God as a tool and not a finesse. You may be gifted in swordsmanship. The sword here is the performer, you are the executor and the skill (gift) is the ability to execute well with the tool. It then means that knowing all the verses of the Bible does not mean you will be a good teacher, it means you have more tools which can be used wrongly or rightly. Many unbelievers have Bible verses at their fingertips and twist them at will. They don't have the gift.
Gift is the ability to use the tool WELL and RIGHT. Then you will be called a teacher.

Wow[i] OK thanks...but can you please give me examples of some of these tools

GoodMuyis:
There are God's General in this our generation, who can sing, teach and the power of God is on them for Miracle an Healing
so if any minister as gift in the word of God a typical example is Kumuyi, Onyakilome, Oyedepo, etc these can teach without using available scripture preach sermon.

Analice107 you did not missed, "Word of God" as gift is wrong word, teaching or teacher would have being appropriate as regard to 1 Cor12:28

Thank you brother
Yes....he said Word of God then I asked how and then he said interpreting the
Word of God.

There are a lot of things going on in my life right now ( which I will explain later). The man of God (a branch pastor of a very big church in Nigeria here in SA)[I am currently in South Africa] told me that neither the devil nor any enemy is responsible but that God is the one working out everything which will be like a history for me to tell later. He said he saw me on the pulpit preaching and that I was called to serve and if I refuse to heed to God's call, I would die. He said plainly that answering God's call is the only way for me to remain alive and he said he is seeing the gifts of Singing, healing and interpreting the word of God..
You couldn't imagine the shock on my face that a man of God who I came to see for guidance and counselling was now telling me I was to be a Pastor...Pastoring was the last thing on my mind.
And then I asked him if I was just to be an ordinary brother to serve God well or a pastor. He said he is seeing me standing on a pulpit not in the congregation....
And ever since then I haven't really accepted the call because I am still doubting it so I have been looking for confirmation....
So please I need answers to the following questions:::
1. Does God use suffering to train His children?
2. Is it proper for me to Request a sign from God if He truly called me [Because it is a big risk to venture into pastoral ministry without a calling from God]
3. Is there any Gift like interpreting the word of God
4. And if I finally want to accept the call, how do I go about it?
Please I need Holy-Spirit guided answers!!!
I believe everyone here also has calling and I need help on how to go about with mine

analice107:
My dear ask the Bible. Does it tell us about a gift called the 'Word of God?'

Amplified Bible 1 Corinthians 12:1-14 Now about the spiritual gifts (the special endowments of supernatural energy), brethren, I do not want you to be misinformed.

You know that when you were heathen, you were led off after idols that could not speak [habitually] as impulse directed and whenever the occasion might arise.

Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking under the power and influence of the [Holy] Spirit of God can [ever] say, Jesus be cursed!

And no one can [really] say, Jesus is [my] Lord, except by and under the power and influence of the Holy Spirit.

Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the [Holy] Spirit remains the same.

And there are distinctive varieties of service and ministration, but it is the same Lord [Who is served].

And there are distinctive varieties of operation [of working to accomplish things], but it is the same God Who inspires and energizes them all in all.

But to each one is given the manifestation of the [Holy] Spirit [the evidence, the spiritual illumination of the Spirit] for good and profit.

To one is given in and through the [Holy] Spirit [the power to speak] a message of wisdom, and to another [the power to express] a word of knowledge and understanding according to the same [Holy] Spirit;

To another [wonder-working] faith by the same [Holy] Spirit, to another the extraordinary powers of healing by the one Spirit;

To another the working of miracles, to another prophetic insight (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose);

to another the ability to discern and distinguish between [the utterances of true] spirits [and false ones], to another various kinds of [unknown] tongues, to another the ability to interpret [such] tongues.

All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses.

For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form [only] one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit.

For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many.


Going through the scriptures here, i don't see the "Word of God" as a spiritual gift. Bro Oyeludef and bro Peritus am i lost here?

Btw, Happy buf day is a weeks time. i love you.

Thank you very much Sis. Analice.. I appreciate....

Good Morning Everyone....I have followed this thread from Page 1 to Page 55 attentively and I will say it wasn't a coincidence that I came here..... I have really been blessed by the likes of Bro Charles, Sis. Analice, Bro. Nnamdi, Bro. Oyoduelef, Bro. Collins and others. Please keep up the good work. I hope I will not be despised in this thread as I seem to be the youngest. I will be 18 in a week time but a man of God told me I have a calling with the gifts of Healing, Singing and The Word of God....
I have a lot of experiences to share to God's People which I will do in my next posts
I have seen a lot of things in this my 18 years in life...
But my first question is : Is there any gift like the word of God??
