Religion / Re: Stretch Forth Thy Hand!! by Acehart: 5:17am On Jan 15, 2021 |
Bodydiialect57: A withered hand, like the one in the image below, is a case of severe paralysis of the hand - The sinews are shrunken, and the hand shrivelled and dried up, losing the moisture of life. What is the cause of such a malady? If there were no sin there would be no sorrow, and if there were no sin there would be no sickness. But for transgression mankind would have remained in all its original health and vigor and perfection. Yet, the voice says: STRETCH FORTH THY HAND! Whatever hopelessness is in the paralyzed nature of your hand (perhaps you are one whose daily bread comes from the weaving of threads like the way the sinews and veins of the hands are woven), just as the man whose hands was withered believed, you must be believe and be willing to stretch the capacity of your hands (skill, endeavor, tools, expertise etc), for the spirit of God has breathe life into your hands. You must be willing to overcome the lethargy in your mind and translate that intensity of your belief to your withered hand (skill, expertise, tool, method etc). Don’t slack 2 Likes 1 Share

My relationship with God should have been better. I tried to live in peace with all men, but men will squeeze your guts out with their evil -they don’t want peace, they want war. Nevertheless, I look forward to a better relationship with God and more godly wisdom to handle men. Happy new year to you too. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Oyinlade07: 1. You said, “u know nothing about prophecy”. All scriptures are inspired by God. If all your prophecies are lies, it’s because they are not scripture-inspired. I don’t need to know prophecy; I need to know the source of true prophecy. He said: Your prophecies are lies. 2. You said, “Prophecy means saying the mind of God”. Prophecy means prediction, simple. A godly prediction that’s speaks the mind of God causes sinners to repent and saints to be glad. Your prophecies is the work of Satan. 3. You said, “Have you forgotten that the bible tells you the secret of the Lord is with the Prophet and for those who fear him”. The scriptures says: God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son The scriptures shows us that in the last days, our prophet is Christ. But your prophet is a man. Should I say more about your prophet being anti Christ? P.S.: When I was saved, I was anointed with the same Spirit that anointed Christ. Your anointing service, an offshoot of pagan practices, can go on for those who deny Christ. 1 Like 1 Share |

Revelation 19:10 "Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy." The hallmark of all true prophecy is its power to cause people to look into the scriptures. It pulls sinners to repentance and pushes the saints to draw strength from the scriptures. When the Holy Spirit always speaks, He always speaks of Christ (John 16:14). These prophecies you listed here fails all the test -it pushes all to look to the world and not to Christ. When God speaks (1 John 4:6), we know the following: 1. When God speaks, the times are specific in seconds, minutes, hours, day, year and place. The Lord God said to Habakkuk: For the revelation awaits an appointed time Your prophecies are a large net tossed into the sea in the hopes that it would catch all kinds of creatures. There is no specificity in your prophecy, a major sign of a false prophecy. 2. His prophecies conform to the scriptures: But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law -(Gal.4:4) All prophecies in the scriptures were an offshoot of what God had said in the law - the drought Elijah spoke of is a typical example. So by what law are all your prophecies an offshoot of? Your prophecies exceeds the bounds of the scriptures and cannot be true. 3. Does your prophecy ultimately bring edification, exhortation, or comfort? (1 Corinthians 14:3) “He who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.” The true purpose of prophecy is to build up, admonish, stir up, encourage, bring healing (from sin), and release from discomfort (of error). If it doesn’t achieve that, it is not true prophecy! Unfortunately, yours achieves the opposite - fear and discouragement. Whenever the effect of prophecy is confusion, condemnation or discouragement, then the prophecy cannot be accepted. – Graham Cooke |

[quote author=jamesid29 post=97463876] You are welcome boss. Not all charitoō is given by God( humans give favor to other humans) and not all charitoō is unmerited ( eg Joseph found favour in the eyes of Potiphar). The choice of “grace” is not just a perspective i have taken, it's part of the consistent theme of the Bible, atleast when it comes to God and His dealings with humanity.( Personally, I don't really use the word "unmerited favour" as It's one of those words that have been over Christianised over the years and can give modern readers a different mental picture. A better way of understanding the motif is to think of it as "God is always way more generous than people deserve". Simply "favor" or "grace" is more of a better translation). Revelation 2:17 To him who overcomes (conquers), I will give to eat of the manna that is hidden, and I will give him a white stone with a new name engraved on the stone. I was caught between pasting the text above and the parable of The Workers in the Vineyard; but I had to stick with the verse above because of its length. However, I hope to delve into the parable as I go along (maybe it wouldn’t be necessary). Our race was set forth by our faith in Christ, as the scriptures says, ”For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God” ; our race was sustained by the power of the Spirit as the scripture says: we are “protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time”. So, at what point does our input count when the scriptures says: run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours? If we saved by favor unlabored for, is the prize by favor and effort induced? This verse is talking about a husband's praise to his wife sir(Prov 31:28). Proverbs 31:1 The words of King Lemuel, the oracle which his mother taught him. |

SLIMSNAZZY: Hi, “All have sinned” - In Paul’s analysis of God’s equity towards the Jews and Gentiles, all sinner because for what God had laid down down justification, all men stumbled- the Jews did not keep the Law and the Gentiles killed the witness of their conscience. So, a man was justified by faith alone. Then he later speaks of Abraham’s justification by faith in the Gospel of the sacrifice. If this qualified Abraham as righteousness, it is the pattern which God has chosen. Mary believed like Abraham. So, to him who overcomes sin, a hidden manna, a white stone and a new name is to be given. For Mary, that manna was Christ -this is a favor exclusive for God’s children- a gift that showed how their lives are influenced by Him. Before coming to the knowledge of Christ, all have sinned; after the Cross, all are righteous. |

chipower: God forces people to do His will? On the contrary. Do you remember when He called Israel saying: “Come now let us reason together”? If you read a bit of the exchanges I had in the first two pages and the penultimate paragraph of my writeup, you’d see that Mary had already conceived in her heart the idea of birthing the Messiah - she was a descendant of David, wasn’t she? Even before Satan had entered Judas, His heart was set on selling Jesus. So the idea of forcing is excluded. I usually have this approach that helped me to understand that God doesn’t force anyone; with Pharaoh as example. The Bible sometimes describes the human heart as wax, and God as fire. We know fire melts wax when it is brought in close proximity; and wax hardens when fire is removed from its vicinity. So when God said: “I will harden Pharoah’s heart”, He just meant that He would detach His presence from Pharoah; therefore hardening as wax is Pharoah’s resulting condition. No where in the Exodus account did Pharaoh express an interest in letting Israel have independence; so no amount of force from God would succeed. But we know when God tried to prevail upon Pharaoh, it was with reasoning first -we can see this in the exchange between the angel and Mary. |

femi4: “There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!” (Prov.31:29) Yes, she was a virgin and also from the lineage of David. Joseph was of the line of David but no virgin from his line was chosen; perhaps they was one or there wasn’t one. If there was one, she was disqualified because concerning one of Joseph’s ancestors, the scriptures shows: If Jesus was from the lineage of Joseph, then the scriptures would be inconsistent (please see above). If Jesus came through the lineage of Joseph, He would be conceived of a man rather than Holy Ghost. Is there a dilemma of Mary’s inability to transmit David's royal inheritance—the right to the throne—to her Son, since all inheritances had to pass through the male line? According to Israel's law, when a daughter is the only heir, she can inherit her father's possessions and rights if she marries within her own tribe (Numbers 27:1-8; 36:6-. There is no record in the Bible showing that Mary had any brothers (we know Elizabeth) to inherit her father's possessions and rights. Thus, Joseph became Heli's heir by marriage to Mary, inheriting the right to rule on David's throne, even over Judah. This right was then transmitted to her son. |

smartkester: Not so. The message of Christ is preposterous to the unbeliever. The message of a virgin conceiving without insemination is foolish to the hearing of any man. The message of a Man resurrected after three days in the tomb was foolish to the Corinthians. In the times of Noah, the message of rainfall was strange to a people who only knew mist. When I said preposterous to a sinner circa 2020 years later, it is those things I listed: to wit were: A virgin conceived, a man was crucified for your sins, He went to Hell for you, and He resurrected after three days. What is foolish to many is the power of God unto salvation. Those who read should believe like Mary. |

Mary's descent from David comes through his son Nathan, not Solomon or one of David's other children (Luke 3:31). To fulfill His promise to establish David's throne forever, God honored Nathan by making him the ancestor of the promised King who would sit on David's throne forever (Luke 1:31-33). |

ichuka: Hi, We usually make a significant error when the word “sinner” is only seen from only one perspective. I’d like to use the Cross of Calvary as the reference point: all are counted as sinners before coming to the Cross; but after the Cross, one is no longer tagged a sinner but a righteous one. No sinner has his disposition towards the gospel; but after they believe, their faith is accounted for as righteousness. When I said Mary wasn’t a sinner, I used it in respect to her disposition- she believed in God’s gospel and it was accounted to her as righteousness. 1 Like |
