Why Heaven Is No Longer My Target by Nobody: 3:25pm On Sep 28, 2019 |
Because I'm now aiming for God's heart. Though it initially used to be heaven because the last thing I wanted to do, was to end up in hell. But when I began to walk with God and got to know Him, I was like, what? Are you kidding me? Is this what I have been missing all this while? To be honest, I wish I had gotten to know Him much much earlier, and if possible all through my whole life, because God is the best thing that I had ever known and the best thing that had ever happened to me, past, present and even future. And that is not flattery by any means, infact it's a huge understatement, as mere words cannot even describe Him. He's just too good to be true. And I began to see why those that truly got to know Him in the past, wouldn't trade Him or His position for anything else, but would do or give anything to keep Him, because God just too much, walahi. So once you truly get a taste of Him, you'd never want to let Him go, because you become hooked for life, and just can't get enough of Him. So despite that God wasn't my original my target, having come to know Him, He has won over my heart, soul and mind, that my target is now to please Him and be as close to His heart as possible. That's why my target is no longer heaven, but He who dwells in it. God bless. P.S. Been doing this for over seventeen years now, and still counting. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Ladylite:You are actually right in a sense, because God dwells within me. But does He also dwell within you? If He really does, then you're not doing well with His dwelling place oh. You must be born again sis, otherwise you'd never enter into His Kingdom in heaven. John 3:3 (KJV) 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. So you need to start targeting heaven yourself. Thanks and God bless. 3 Likes |

I'm glad you see some light. Heaven chasing is one of those ultimate selfishness. People who chase it seem to abandon the three score and ten they'd likely spend on this earth and worry about where they'd go afterwards. Makes you think one of Jesus commandments was "love yourself", which one ought to, mind, but not to the extent of having so little faith that one's worry and concern is after they die. Glad to see your increase in faith. 2 Likes

Seems you can't read! "If your son does not join you will die". I wonder what you think "Yet, here I am, alive", means in that context. |

Re: Why Heaven Is No Longer My Target by malvisguy212: 11:51pm On Sep 28, 2019 |
jesusjnr:I don't think you know what you are saying. Surah 9:30: Jews say, “EZRA IS THE SON OF ALLAH ” and the Christians say, “The Messiah is the son of Allah.” That is their statement from their mouths, they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before them. May ALLAH DESTROY THEM. How deluded they are. (Sahih International) According to this Quranic verse, the reason for Allah’s determination to “destroy” the Jews and the Christians is because of their supposedly false beliefs. EZRA!!! son of Allah ? Of course, the claim of Allah in Surah 9:30 is absolutely false. Never in the history of the Jews did they ever claim or believe that Ezra is the son of God. Allah is different from the God of the bible. 2 Likes |

jesusjnr:Noooooooooooo. In as much as I respect everything you've said, this is wrong. Muhammad is not of God. In one of your threads, you said you were speaking in tongues and the word "Allah" kept repeating itself, and some other stuffs like that. I would tell you today, The synonymous Arabic word for God is Al-illah, which means (The One). Don't be deceived, Allah is the name of an Arabia idol. PS: An ex-muslim. 2 Likes |

jesusjnr:Read the Quranic verse again, Allah is the one talking but in the last sentence it was the response of the people. the verse is in harmony with the passage that deny the son ship of Jesus as the son of God . who is the author of psalm? the Qur'an say David. is David the author ? why the confusion ? |

jesusjnr:you don't know what you are saying, it is either you accept the Bible or reject it, the Qur'an contradict the Bible, the Qur'an deny the Cross of salvation , this is what apostle Paul say: ◄ 1 Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. the Qur'an say otherwise Surah 4:157: And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa son of Marium, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure. are they saying the something? 1 Like |

jesusjnr: You are greatly deceived. If you think Allah is God then you are confused. Read the Koran. One is an imposter. One is a lie. It's either the Christian God is or Muslim god is. The two are not the same. Please read the Koran. God is not an author of confusion. He wont say Jesus is the way in the bible and then say Jesus is a prophet only and not the son of God in the bible 1 Like |

jesusjnr: You cannot ask God any question in private when you have His word. Have you read it? You must first understand the God of the word before understanding God . Dont be lazy. You that didnt understand Paul's letters how can you rightly interpret Gods revelations? You are the same person that said Paul is apostate? You are greatly confused. There r so many information to read up and understand but you choose to be asking questions to God that the answers are already clearly spelt out in the word. The devil will answer you because you became rebellious and wont study to know historical events. You are lost if you think Allah is God. I used to think d same until I READ THE KORAN. Study to make yourself approved. A faithful workman rightly dividing the word of truth Daniel understood by books, The prophets of old were asked to write down so people can read. even Jesus understood by books, the apostles understood by books that the messiah would come. So how dont you wanna understand by books(bible not chemistry book)? Are you special? You wont read and allow the Holy Spirit to interpret but you are asking question? Oga the devil will answer you very well and I can see you have begun manifesting this foolishness. Be humble and camp with the word DONT BE LAZY 1 Like |
