Our Primary Service Of God To Prioritise Is The Earth And Not The Church by paxonel(m): 7:30am On Apr 14
Psalms 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

So every message in church that tells you that your primary service to God is being a pastor, an Usher, a choir member, an evangelist, a keyboardist, a pulpit decorator, a man server, etc, is not of God.

This will just be a surprise to many Christians especially the conservatives.

When God created man, he asked them to replenish the earth and subdue it. He didn't ask them to engage in religious activities.
So you that has a profession and you are huzzling to make your money to keep your family, build your house and beautify your environment living in peace with your neighbour and engage in selecting a better ruler to govern you in order to provide basic infrastructures, jobs, aiming at a better economy that will impact positively to everyone, you are actually doing the primary assignment God has created you for.

And the good thing is, this primary assignment is not restricted to just one Sabbath day like every sundays. It is something you do everyday, just like your worship to God is everyday.

Leviticus 6:12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
Leviticus 6:13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

The earth is of the Lord's but Paul said in 2 Cor 4:4 that Satan is the God of this world.

What is the sharing formula for God and Satan?

Nobody can share the Glory of God.

The situations happening now have shown what Paul mean,

if people can kill there fellow human beings for sacrifice just for money.

If Muslims can hate humanity who are not affiliated to islam and be killing people without remorse. Is he wrong or right?

But your God sacrificed his son just for his other sons and daughters in vicarious atonement ritual!

And there are many old testament verses your God told Israel to kill non-believers! Did you condemn such too?

Abi na only Muslims?

Yes, and that is called 'SALVATION'.

And there are many old testament verses your God told Israel to kill non-believers! Did you condemn such too?

So whom amongst them is really doing the killing Islam or Israel ?


Abi na only Muslims?

Yes, because everything you people follow and do, is told you by muhammed, and muhammed was just a politician whom was looking for wealth, fame and power to the extent muhammed sold his soul to the devil.

100 to zero percent.
That's why if God gives you a thing, it comes with long lasting peace.
But if you get it from, the controller of materialism, it soon vanishes because it doesn't actually belong to him

Your theory above is false!

God gave Job wealth, Health and Prosperity!
Who took it away? God or Satan?

1.Serving the earth does not implies that one should carry the whole earth on his earth. It implies that one should have positive impact in his immediate environment.
2. Everyone are in one way or the other engaged into this, so it's not a big deal
3. Its not everything you do that you will expect reward.

But at the other hand, if you serve pastors only pastors will get the reward and you will be left with nothing in the association

you have moved from serving church to serving pastor 😏

And here I thought the duty of humans is to obey and serve God, Eccl. 12:13

it's still the same thing.
Pastors do disguise under that desire of people willing to serve God or church with all their heart to enrich themselves. Knowing that the people are naive and ignorant of scriptures

Have you ever wonder why people fear pastors so much that you can't even question them?
They put themselves in that position deliberately. They have truly intimidated people by quoting these kind of scriptures to them regularly.

God never intended that people should see him and fear.
He want people to obey his commandments, that's all.

the fear of God is to shun and not do evil, and this is the beginning of wisdom. But some of una go dey twist am to mean something else.


Whatever people are doing let them do, God will judge all finally. Just don't twist things nor miss it because of others twisting things.

No need of assuming God's intention, we don't fear God to flee from God. We fear him because He is worth being afraid of. Like Jesus said he can kill both your body and soul.

The earth belongs to God and whatever we do here should be according to his will that's why we pray let his will be done. Anything else is works of iniquity.

No we prioritize the kingdom but we make use of this earth as a tool for the kingdom.

This earth will pass away but the church of Jesus christ will remain and reign forever, so a wise person will prioritize the kingdom of God.

do you agree that this earth is already the kingdom like this?

Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

The kingdom of God is already sown in this field that we are.

So this one that you are saying the earth will pass away is not true

No, the field is not the kingdom.
The gospel is the seed, the kingdom comes when the gospel has fully being preached on the earth.
The gospel is the mustard seed and the kingdom is the mustard tree that came out from the seed meaning the kingdom would come when the seed has fully being planted on earth.

what you people have failed to understand is that Jesus Christ has already planted the seed on earth the day he died and resurrected. He has done everything like that and he is not coming back anymore to do anything.
And what he has done by planting the seed of the kingdom through his death and resurrection, will stand on this earth forever and ever, no end of his kingdom. Luke 1:33

When did God give it to man?

When Satan wanted to tempt Job he first went to whine God first!

When did God give man the authority?

Genesis 1 vv 28.

Satan went to God because God was protecting Job.
