Kobojunkie:You are not in any position to tell us what Jesus taught which is why I said you should face your own salvation. But unfortunately, you have chosen to mind other people's choices of salvation. Which is laughable and pathetic |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Kobojunkie: 4:56pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
Jashub:1. I am, this since Jesus Christ mandates that those of His followers who know His truth shout it from the rooftops. 2. You seem to think Jesus Christ is open to private interpretation and meaning, and more than half of His time, He spent warning against such. |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Jashub: 4:59pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:Point of correction: Jesus never mandated you ; you mandated yourself because you feel it is your right teach others your way of seeing scripture. So I would be right in call you a false teacher ; a wolf among sheep |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Kobojunkie: 5:10pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
Jashub:1. It is in fact a command given by Jesus Christ, and His followers are all of them called to live their lives in continuous submission and obedience to His Teachings and commandments after all. 26 “So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.2. If the way I see what is written is as it is written... how can it then be considered my way when the written Way is that proclaimed by Jesus Christ Himself? |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Jashub: 6:55pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:Jesus Christ proclaimed it not you . Secondly, the bible is available for all to read and it does not need you to interpret it for others . Which is why I said "run your race ". Salavtion is a personal decision not a public affair |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Kobojunkie: 7:04pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
Jashub:1. Well, duh! And since the same Jesus Christ also said those who love Him are those who submit and obey His teachings and commandments, clearly, I am to do as He commands. 2. The passage I posted from Matthew 10 there was straight from the book, no interpretations applied. As you can see, what is written is as I stated. So, what interpretation do you claim was offered by me for others? Look, this ain't rocket science. As Jesus Christ told you 2000 years ago, Heaven and Earth will pass away but not a jot of the Word as decreed by God will pass away. If by way of your special interpretations you change even one jot, you damned your own self by it. 17 “Don’t think that I have come to destroy the Law of Moses or the teaching of the prophets. I have come not to destroy their teachings but to give full meaning to them. |

Kobojunkie:You deceive yourself . Jesus is my Judge not you . Secondly, you are not even conscious of your own salvation let alone the salvation of other . How pathetic of a so called "follower of Jesus" P.S: Hope you returned that phone to its rightful owner because you claimed to have sold all you have, yet swindled a hardworking person by preaching a sermon contrary to labor |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Kobojunkie: 7:13pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
Jashub:1. Everything I have said so far on this are the very words of Jesus Christ, the one whom you claim is your judge, so it is even right now His Word that judges you. 2. I did sell all I had and give it away to the poor in order to gain access into the Kingdom of God through the Narrow gate that leads to True Life, just as Jesus Christ taught. And ever since then, God has proven His Word true in that He provides for His own all that they need and desire without them needing to work for perishable food to obtain it all.. |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Jashub: 7:16pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
Kobojunkie: I struggle to understand how someone so deceitful could convince a hardworking person to part with an item so that you could sell your religious scam of "gaining access to the kingdom of heaven " You swindled someone yet you have the guts to tell me about Jesus Lol... madam, you are seriously deceiving yourself and your listeners |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Kobojunkie: 7:17pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
Jashub:1. I don't follow. Who convinced whom to part with what exactly? 2. Who exactly are you accusing me of swindling by the way? |

Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Jashub: 7:49pm On Sep 16, 2022 |
Kobojunkie:You are asking me a very foolish question. The person who gave you the phone you are using ...did you not swindle him with your false gospel of seeking for the kingdom of heaven ? Lol...keep deceiving yourself and your listeners . Your reward is in front |

delkuf:Bros , na long story o. I was having a nice chat with some about how the bible supports labor and work , but my aunty no gree (as usual ) . She started quoting verses upon verses that say "human labor is cursed" (according to Genesis ) , and that true followers of Jesus should follow the commandment of Jesus (which means we should be so heavenly minded that we are of no earthly value ) She then came up with this I-sold-all-that-I -have -story, and admitted to me that the current phone she is using was given to her by someone. Just imagine , she is preaching against labor ,yet is eager to collect the phone of someone who works. Can you imagine the hypocrisy... |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by delkuf(m): 11:36pm On Sep 16, 2022 |

Whatever church you choose; 1. Pray to God to guide you in His Ways. 2. Read your Bible everyday. 3. Whatever any GO or pastor says should be tested with the Bible. If it doesn't conform with the Bible, discard it. 4. Love your neighbour, and help people if you are able to. 5. And remember, most of what is done in most Nigerian churches is just religion. So, you have to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, as the Bible states. |

Jashub:Make research on peacehouse by Bro Gbile Akanni. Many G.O And pastors including ADEBOYE, OYEDEPO Etc do go for his minister retreat. He has thousands of disciplers both home and abroad and none work. The day you become a discipler you must stop labouring for material things and labour for GOD. |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Jashub: 12:57pm On Sep 17, 2022 |
Lighthouse50:I do not follow ministers blindly ; I follow my bible . And my bible says " For even when we were with you, this we commanded you: that if any would not work, neither should he eat."(2 Thess3:10) If we all labor in the Lord , who would feed us and where would the donation for the gospel come from ? The bible never condemns work , we Nigerian Christians are the ones condemning it , hence making us and God look like a fool before unbelievers |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Lighthouse50: 12:57pm On Sep 17, 2022 |
Jashub:Sir, truth is bitter but true. NOTE: IM TALKING NEUTRALLY. Most of our pastors knows that labour came as a result of man's fall and since Christ came to lift man up from the fall back to their feet, truly labour is a result of curse. Jesus and his disciples didnt labour yet lacked nothing. All disciples of Christ left their work to follnw christ and never returned. Peter once asked that we that have left everything we had and followed you, what will be our gain? Jesus replied no one who forsake all for my sake will by no way not get hundred fold in his kingdom. Apostle paul knew this but said he does not want to put expenses on the church. finally its not for everyone but only Gnd's elects. ECCLESIASTES 2 VS 26 SAYS GOD GIVES WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY TO THE MAN WHO PLEASES HIM BUT TO THE SINNER HE GIVES LABOURING SO HE CAN GIVE TO ONE WHO PLEASES GOD. |

Lighthouse50:It is written in your bible that " In all labor there is profit "(Prover14:23). Why do you reject that and follow what suits your carnal thinking ... Like I said earlier, if we all claimed to work for God, then there will be hunger for all. Serving God does not exempt you from labor , rather it exhalts God and serves as a example to others |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Lighthouse50: 1:14pm On Sep 17, 2022 |
Jashub:Sir, can you be wiser than Christ whn told the rich man who wants the kingdom to sell all he has, pick his cross and follow? God's chosen people (ministers) are not to work. They are like priests and leuites of old that do not work but do only God's work. They were not given any share of land. God says HE Is their share. Other 11 tribes work to bring a tenth. Note: chosen ones dont toil. The place you quoted is an advice to the lazy ones cos the elect too labour but not for material needs but for GOD. SIR IM PLEASED AND APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY YOU GAVE ME TO EXPRESS GOD'S WORD. |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Jashub: 1:24pm On Sep 17, 2022 |
Lighthouse50:You deceive yourself . While not all the disciples were averse to taking donations from the churches they served, Paul seemed to feel a unique conviction. “With toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you,” he writes in 2 Thessalonians 3:8. In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul says that he acknowledges that missionaries have the right to live off of donations (“the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel”) but still maintains that he doesn’t have any interest in taking advantage of this right. “I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting,” he says in chapter 12 verse 15. It’s in Act 20 that we find reference to Paul being an actual tentmaker. He takes up with Aquilla and his wife Priscilla in Corinth and joins them as a fellow tentmaker and missionary. Secondly , levites were from the old Testament who made sacrifices unto God in a temple . There are no more levites , and neither are there temples ...so you are greatly mistaken to call yourself a levites. So do yourself a favor and go and work; you will not die if you do so |
Re: I Need A Non-prosperity Church. Advice Needed. by Lighthouse50: 1:58pm On Sep 17, 2022 |
Oh, i think i said just like the priests and levites of old. We have people who are great and those who are least im the kingdom. Where you quoted of paul didnt condemn those who didn't work. He decided to work at his own wish but later depended on the church for those period he was in chains. I trust christ's standard above paul's. Consider the birds of the air, they do not toil yet Gnd feeds them. Consider the flowers of the field, THEY TOIL NOT BUT God cloths them. How much mnre we made in God's image. Matt 7 vs 27 AND WHICH OF YOU BY BEING ANXIOUS CAN ADD A CUBIT TO HIS LIFE? VS 31 SAYS THE GENTILES (UNBELIEVERS) ARE THE ONES WHO STRUGGLE/LABOUR/TOIL OVER WHAT TO EAT, WHAT TO WEAR OR WHAT TO DRINK. THEY ARE REGARDED AS PEOPLE WITH LITTLE OR NO FAITH. Finally, if ynu have not be chosen by God it may not apply to you because nnly those a company has chosen are on payroll. |
