Have You Ever Had A Thought About This ? by Speaklove: 5:56pm On Dec 18, 2021
(Modified)
One afternoon I bought water from this aboki guys (Mai ruwa) and while dealing with him a thought came into my heart that God is interested in saving him and many of his type .

many times when we discuss about wining souls many people would usually picture their christian neighbor who doesn't go to church or that guy or lady who doesn't care about being religious or dedicated to the things of God .
but it is important for us to know that God is interested in reaching out to every body in every nation no matter what tribe, culture identity or any other affiliations they might belong .

when Christ(after his resurrection) gave the commission of preaching the gospel to the lost he never mentioned any language or any other criterion one must have before they could be preach to .

Christian see !
God is interested in that bitter cola seller .
he is interested in that shoe shiner.
he is interested in that pure water seller .
he is interested in that terrorist,
that member of a cult or an occult .
that member of witchcraft coven .
God is interested in saving that person even if he or she is your enemy .

Christ didnt die for you and your family members alone .
he didnt die for that guy who works at chevron and wears suite every day alone .
he didn't die for that lady who is a beauty peagent and always dresses elegant alone .
he died also for that begger who stinks every now and then when you pass by his side .
he died also for that terribly crippled girl who is been pushed around the market in a wheel barrow begging for money to feed .
he died for that woman in your area who quarel much over little things and doesn't greet anyone who wouldn't greet her first.
he died for that once innocent girl child who is now into prostitution ,and you know those so sex around with her .

no body merits this salvation ,
it is the free gift of God to all people ,color ,race languages,and nations
so nobody should be seen as unworthy to be saved.

Mark 16:15
[15]And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
He said EVERY CREATURE.
not some creature or certain features
- But every creature (born of a woman )
Please let us all endeavor and see that we reach out in one way or another to these people and that people.

If you do go out for evangelism but never had it in mind to preach to this kind of people (you might have never imagined doing that )
Then by the grace of God this day that burden which is in the heart of God their creator ,and your creator has been made know to you .
I know very well (from experience) that one has to overcome many things
Like :shame ,fear ,discouragements ,distraction ,and timidity.
but God has not given us the spirit of fear but the spirit of power(streangth ) of love
( that bears burdens for others ) and of a sound mind (boldness) so do not be ashame of your chains (weaknesses)
or discourage to carry your cross(burdens and responsibility) ,neither be ashamed to preach the gospel of our lord Jesus Christ .

I was supposed to declare the counsel of god today ,but I couldn't perceive any inspiration from the holy ghost ,
so while praying intercessory prayer for the church I started imagining that (Mai Ruwa) water seller ,
and I couldn't take it that such people
would come to this world ,and nobody cares about telling them about Christ.
all many of us know to do is to criticize,abuse,demonize,and hate these people .
yes ! many Christians hate Muslims a lot but how many of them have you preached to ?

Imagine how different the world will be if someone had preached the true Christ to some of the worst people on Earth. Many times, we hear great people talk about how someone had a big influence on their lives. How things would be great if that influential someone was "good".

The issue is not wanting to be converted but wanting to be saved .

If you're seeking to convert me then convince me that at the end I will be saved .

It is not a religion but a gift .
It is not my gift ,but God's gift .
He is not my God alone but also your God .
So if he is your God (wether you agree or not )
Then the gift should also be extended to you .
So that saying gave birth to this saying
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only son (first heavenly gift ) that whosoever believe in him should not perish (be in ignorance ,and eternal damnation ) but have everlasting life (through the knowledge of Christ )

So my dear friend receive Jesus today !

Luciferhimself:

Yes including you who is the soul of this poster
I'm not talking to you who manipulates his mind

Luciferhimself:

so we can live the rest of our lives in heaven singing forever to GodGod

Yes sing forever but more than singing.
But also reing forever but more than reigning
But also live forever but more than living
But also be righteous forever in love ,in mercy ,in kindness ,in health, in joy ,in glory and power for one another through Christ Jesus .hallelujah!

Luciferhimself:

while those who rejected our God burns forever in an eternal furnace

No it is not who reject our god but those who reject the way of righteousness for our God is the way .
It is not those who reject our God but those who reject the truth for our God is the truth

It is not those who reject our God but those who reject eternal life for themselves for our God is the life -even Jesus the Christ .hallelujah!

But it is those who embrace Lucifer
For Lucifer his the deceiver not the way .
Lucifer is the father of all lies not the truth
Lucifer is the bringer of eternal death
The ruler of the spirit of death Not life .

So Luciferhimself is the one to direct the feet of those who are Indarkness to the bath of the fire that burns with the judgement that was assigned for him .
For his time is short
And he seek to make companions in sufferings for himsef.

Get behind me satan for your not mindful of the things if god but of the things of men .

No, thanks.

If you had cursed me I would pray for you
But because you thank me I would cry for you
cry cry

Ho father !
Father!
This one is simple so he is( somehow in a certain way ) dangerous than the scornful .
So I pray
let his weakness manifest and be clear to his heart and conscience that he might embrace your streangth .
Let his wisdom fail him that he may embrace your foolishness .
For the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men ,
and the weakness of God is powerful than the streangth of men .

A god that resides only in your mind can't answer such a prayer. And that is all your god is, a mental construct which is why I said no thanks. If your god was real you'd direct me to him but alas all you can do is offer supplication to your mental magic sky daddy.

Saved from what ....... things that don't exist


Or problems we can solve ourselves ....or the inevitable ones or the ones with no solution?




Someone said I had a spirit of madness......... I didn't argue...... I just looked past it.....then she almost blinded me with oil...... I wasn't expecting that sort of thing......


Can you help me with any money.....?


I want to get an eye treatment medication....or some fruits....


You know circumcision of hearts is figurative...if you just wanna prove you're a better Bible user...., that's unnecessary.


Trying to prove you're a better Bible user has caused many problems between several people...... you might choose not to give me even 600naira because of that...



I will not stop seeking financial assistance because I have no other option... I will keep asking people till I find another means or die trying..



Don't shed crocodile tears when I die.

I don't believe because I can't believe...... it's impossible for me..... I can't consider anything as a reason to believe..... indeed....., I also think it doesn't make sense that my mother believes or considers it possible for anything called God to exist because she has passed through enough shit such that her life shouldn't be associated with anything divine..... but some bastards say anyone that suffers doesn't know how to please God or the person doesn't know how to ensure that God changes his or her situation...or the person doesn't understand the Bible or the laws of karma or the person chooses to suffer .....so much waste of mental resources in the name of trying to explain what you're not aware of........ nonsense!!!!



Those that bring up such things have no idea what the person has faced or his facing !!!!



I once had faith but I have to state that it was useless..... the so-called understanding of the Bible / Quran that some people feel makes them special is another reason why life is absurd.....so,they turn statements upside down when it doesn't get along with their reasoning!!!
