7 Reasons You Are A Powerless Christian by topshore(f): 12:11pm On Aug 16, 2022 |
Scripture Texts: Mathew 10:1; Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1:8 "And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean. spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease."- Mathew 10:1 Who is a Powerless Christian? A Powerless Christian, as seen in our Scripture texts above, is someone who has no power of Christ in his or her life and has not received or experienced the Holy Ghost. What Are the Things Responsible For Powerlessness? The reasons are uncountable but we will consider seven (7) strong reasons: [b]1. Sin: This is the major culprit. The more sinful your life is as a Christian, the more powerless you become (Galatians 5:19-21). Sin deanniots grace and reduces your spiritual strength (Romans 6:1,2). 2. Lukewarmness: If your heart is not on fire for God you are lukewarm (Revelations 3:16). The deep power of your devotion to God will strike more power to your manifestation. Getting far away from God is getting close to disaster. Closeness to God is closeness to power. If you on fire, you'll become too hot to handle. If you are cold, you can be easily identified and conquered. But if you sit on the fence (neither cold or hot), you will be spit out. 3. Ignorance: What you know determines how strong you are. If knowledge is power, then ignorance is powerlessness. The mysteries you know connects you to the raw Power of God and that power gives you absolute access to God at all times (Psalm 25:14; Deuteronomy 29:29). 4. Timidity: Lack of adequate spiritual aggression, zealousness for pursuit of God's power leads to powerlessness. David's audacity was what threw Goliath off balance. Goliath was used to soldiers running away from him but he was shocked, unprepared and confused when a boy ran towards him with stones and slings. The Power of God in David gave him the gut to carry out the offensive attach towards Goliath, and God the Almighty and His Hosts gave him victory. 5. Biblical Illiteracy: When you don't even study the Bible how can you connect with the Holy Ghost that can give you power? It is only when you read, meditate and understand the Scriptures that you can get power. After all, the Holy Spirit cannot remind you of what you don't know or have not seen or heard before (John 14:26). The principle is read, study, meditate, understand and be the doer of the Word of God. God inspires us with the Word and the Holy Spirit brings it to our remembrance to act according to God's will. 6. Conformity: When you are too engrossed with the things of this world, you will continue to become powerless as a Christian. Not conforming to this world means we are not to desire what God doesn't desire (John 4:4). As a Christian, you are to be easily identified, distinguished or stand out from among the worldly minded people as God commanded us in His Word (2 Corinthians 6:17). 7. Prayerlessness: Jesus Christ told His disciples who were sleeping while He was watching vigil at Gethsemane, and praying out His out to God to: “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”- Matthew 26:41. When you cease to pray, you can easily fall into temptation. God's Power and His Spirit moves in prayer. It was at the Prayer Meeting of Jesus' disciples at the Upper Room that the Power of God fell upon them as fire and they received the Holy Spirit and Power as Jesus had promised them (Acts 2:1-12). So, when you pray, you'll receive God's Power and Holy Ghost.[/b] Brethren, this is the time to give your all to God and receive His power. If you would like to give your life to Christ, just say this short prayer: "Lord Jesus, I come to You now, come into my life, take control of my life and change my worls. I say bye-bye to the devil, I enter into Your Light. Thank You Jesus, in Jesus name I pray, amen. Congratulations!!! God bless you. Peace! Culled from Dr. D.K Olukoya's Message. |

MaxInDHouse: But you never answer my question, show me where Jesus Christ says use traditional herbs for your healing and deliverance lobatan God approved herbs for the use of men and NOT for healing and deliverance. All these I've analyzed them to you but you brain won't grab it, there are many differences between ewe'be (vegetables soup) and ewe'oogun (traditional herbs medicines) |

ANTIlSLAM: The highlighted is where you proved to be really stupid! God approves HERBS for the use of men but not for healing and deliverance! Ọmọ the healing as in deliverance from hunger is food so if people are not to use herbs for healing and deliverance then we shouldn't touch it at all! |

MaxInDHouse: The stupidity in your occultist religion, JWs by attaching Jesus Christ as an herbalist but fails to show where Jesus Christ heals with the use of traditional herbs is what we are addressing here.

Re: 7 Reasons You Are A Powerless Christian by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:55pm On Aug 16, 2022 |
ANTIlSLAM:I'm not like you who shy away from knowledge Jesus is an HERBALIST because he is a Jew and never condemn the use of HERBS as found in the scriptures! So it's you who need to quote where Jesus (a Jew) condemn the use of HERBS! If you're not stupid, people fell sick and we're treated with HERBS before they eventually died and Jesus came to resurrect them. If Jesus is against the use of HERBS don't you think he supposed to say at least one thing about the use of HERBS? ANTIlSLAM:Ọ̀DẸ̀! ÒPÒNÚ!! OLÓDO!!! When JEHOVAH mentioned that group name "JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES" as the fitting description of all his worshipers Jesus has not been born {Isaiah 43:10-12} the Jews were making use of HERBS to treat their illnesses. So if God approves that group name our righteousness comes from our God who approves the use of HERBS (not you): "No weapon formed against you will have any success, And you will condemn any tongue that rises up against you in the judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of Jehovah, And their righteousness is from me,” declares Jehovah! Isaiah 54:17 |

MaxInDHouse: ÀBÚRÒ ÌYÀWÓ BABALÁWO, Oya show me where your own herbalist jesus heals with the use of traditional herbs lobatan These Bible verses are obtained in OLD TESTAMENT before Jesus Christ came to this world, no where it is written that Jews were healed from their diseases and sicknesses with the use of traditional herbs.

MaxInDHouse: Maybe you get comprehensive difficulties, I said God never approved herbs for healing and deliverance, bobo use your sense nau Ewe'be (Vegetables soup) is different from ewe'oogun your babaláwo, onisegun and adahunse are using for your healing and deliverance.

Re: 7 Reasons You Are A Powerless Christian by MaxInDHouse(m): 12:46am On Aug 17, 2022 |
ANTIlSLAM: You get sense like this? All leaves/vegetables are HERBS so whatever you use it for is not against God's will so far it's taken literally as food. God created those leaves for mankind's use! Psalms 104:14 All your friends are ashamed to come out and argue against what they know is true since they all know that MEDICINES are made from plants/ vegetations/ herbs! |

ANTIlSLAM: Where is the HERB in your pictures to prove that you truly understand what you're saying? SPIRITISM totally differs from HERBALISM! Spiritists use all kinds of things to conjure their partner spirits: © Blood from all kinds of creatures. © Images made of wood, clay, metal or stone. © Spells. © Body parts of different creatures. © Cloths of different colours. © Water. © Drinks. © Sex. © Leaves of all kinds, and so on. So if you're calling those using leaves for treatment "BABALÁWO" then it simply means you don't know what you're saying! |
Re: 7 Reasons You Are A Powerless Christian by ANTIlSLAM(m): 8:00pm On Aug 17, 2022 |
MaxInDHouse: Let me see how you'll comprehend this, I read it here, it will help your ignoramus life Where Does Herbalism Come From? Jeremiah 10:2 to “Learn not the way of the heathen.” If you research herbal medicine for any length of time, you’ll likely come across ideas that clash with Christianity. Nature worship, witchcraft, occult practices, and more are all connected with herbalism. Shaman, pagan, and other spiritual traditions such as babaláwo, onisegun and adahunse have used herbs in one way or another, sInce none of these traditional herbal frameworks are found in the Old or New Testament, Christians must stay away from it Even today, the vast majority of professional herbalists and herbal teachers are not professing Christians. Their faiths, or lack thereof, might range from more familiar religions like Islam, Hinduism, or Buddhism to lesser-known systems like witchcraft, nature worship, paganism, atheism, etc If past pagan cultures used herbs for healing and ritual, and if the herbalism of today is so steeped in anti-Christian teachings. Sebi you be Yoruba boy, there are some ewe'oogun your traditional herbalist can use for money ritual for you and your members in your occultist religion, JWs. So stop pretending as if you knoweth not |
