The ways of God are unsearchable!

I am partly happy and impressed with the way she was shouting Jesus

MaxInDHouse:
Do believers have soldiers among them in the first century who would have fought to protect their own wives and children from this killers?

Only an established state can have organised soldiers, except for extremists

MaxInDHouse:
In the Bible the first century Jewish disciples of Christ were CONSTANTLY PERSECUTED but the question is:

Why aren't anyone fighting for them?

God can choose to protect them from the persecutor like He did for Shedrach, Meshak and Abednego, if He so wished. And He may decide not like Steven. However there is reward waiting for anyone who stayed with Christ in the midst of persecution.

God has appointed a day, the day of vengeance, the day of His wrath, that is the day of rapture, when all persecution shall be avenged.

MaxInDHouse:
In the Bible the first century Jewish disciples of Christ were CONSTANTLY PERSECUTED but the question is:

Who are those persecuting Christ's disciples?

This thread will address some of your question by God's grace.

The devil has always worked through different people, individuals, families, people in high places and people in authority to persecute believers. In these last days, he has been using islamic terrorists and other enemies of the gospel to persecute believers. Prior to and after the rapture, he will use the antichrist to do the worst persecution to christians.

MaxInDHouse:
In the Bible the first century Jewish disciples of Christ were CONSTANTLY PERSECUTED but the question is:

Why were they persecuted?

the reasons are

-1. For their faith in Christ.
Mat 24:9-13
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.

The devil hates Jesus and anyone that stands for Jesus. They are threats to him and his operations on the earth. Persecution is one of the ways he uses to threaten or forces them to abandon Christ.

-2. For living Godly. Their lifestyles will offend many
2 Timothy 3:12
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

-3. For speaking the truth.
Steven was stoned to death for speaking the truth to the Israelites. John the baptist was beheaded for speaking the truth to King Herod.

He is coming! Don't lose focus. He that will come must come.

The Purpose of Persecution

Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?

One of the purposes or main aims why the enemy inflict persecution on believers is to the intent that they may use it to forcefully separate the believers from Christ. This is the main reason why believers that miss the rapture will be asked to deny Christ and worship the antichrist to be able to buy or sell or reject antichrist and stick with Christ and not be able to buy. I have heard stories of Boko haram terrorists and other similar groups laid hands on Christian adherents and the only request made to them was 'deny Jesus and live'. Many Christians have been martyred , gruesomely killed in many of such instances for refusing to deny Jesus.

A popular contemporary story in Nigeria was that of a teenage school girl, Leah Sharibu, who was abducted alongside other female students, at their school, at Dapchi, by Boko haram terrorist group. The report had it that the girl was asked to deny Jesus and be converted, to gain freedom but she refused.

One of the things, the Lord, Jesus Christ, charges us to endure to the end, in the book of Mathew 24:13 is persecution.

Mat 24:9-13
9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 
11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 
12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 
13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 

The narration of Verse 9 above says that believers will be afflicted, killed and hated of all nations, not because they committed any crime but for their faith in Jesus. That is persecution according to our definition. And Jesus charges that you should endure it to the end to maintain your salvation.

JESUS is coming. Stay ready in absolute repentance, watchfulness and holiness

We are in the last days. Global Food crisis and hunger is coming. manage your finances. don't be wasteful in spending. grow your own food. practise consistent farming.

JESUS is coming. Stay ready in absolute repentance, watchfulness and holiness

Scripture is fast fulfilling. Jesus is coming. Stay ready in absolute repentance and holiness.

In the next few days, I am going to use this thread to talk about Christian persecution and biblical ways to respond to persecution. One major thing the church cannot escape, in these last days, is persecution; and if we must overcome what is coming we must prepare for persecution.

What is Persecution
Persecution can be defined as punishment, maltreatment, harassment, or discrimination of an individual or group of people especially because of their religion or religious beliefs.

Certainty of Persecution for true believers
For a true follower of Christ, persecution is an almost unavoidable experience.

The scripture says in 2 Timothy 3:12 that
2 Timothy 3:12
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

In addition, the Lord, gave a premonition of the certainty of persecution to us believers in John 15:20
John 15:20
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

Going by the above two scriptures, it can be seen that there is no escaping persecution for any Christian that will godly especially, now, when the hatred and persecution of Christians have reached an all-time high.

Why Persecution
Persecution is a certainty for true followers of Christ. True followers of Christ must live to represent who Christ is; Christ is the Truth.

John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Since, a believer must speak the truth, live the truth and act the truth at all times. And this ‘living the truth’ will always set believers at a collision course with the world because the world, which is of the devil represents falsehood. The devil is the father of the world. Persecution is the strategy that the world uses to try to silence the truth or subvert it.

The Lord, Jesus Christ says in John 8:44
John 8:44
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

A well known crossdresser in Nigeria, a man who became popular for dressing like a man, whatever is his name, was given an award as a best dressed female actress. Can you imagine?

The entertainment industry is an accomplice in the satanic move that began at Sodom and Gomorrah!

Don't be a partaker of another man's sin. Let anyone who desires to go to hell go their on their own.

Jesus is coming! Repent and prepare in holiness!

If you are a youth and are reading this message, please return to God with all your heart. Don't let the devil gain glory over you. Remember your creator in the days of your youth!

Sexual sin is a very dangerous weapon the devil has used to cut many short. About a week ago, I read a news of a 19 year old boy that died from the overdose of sex enhancing drug he took in preparation for a date with his girlfriend.

As tall and handsome as he was, he lay flat lifeless with teeth already turned black from drug reaction.

Don't let the dart of Jezebel pierce your heart and soul. Flee fornication

As Christian, We Should knows Our Limits , There are do's and don'ts in every Organization, Abide or Quit.
It Serves Her Right

If truly you are a Christian, you should have just ended your reply above without including the bolded.

Marriage is a watch before you leap venture and not the other way round

Lagosians know better but the rest of the nation are just knowing

Theman should apologize the way he has done and then pray to cancel the curses with the blood of Jesus Christ.

Russian -Ukraine and Israel-Palesttine wars are two big wars that have the capacity to polarise the whole worldunto two equal halves. I pray they don't escalate further but chances are very high they will escalate.

The red horse is running amok across the nation's of the earth. Revelation chapter 6.

My candid advice for everyone is to hold on to Jesus very tightly.

Rapture is imminent

Maynman:


It's all here.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5_P2F2o01c?si=zXzekfW1_lRRk911

You have listened to the message. Provide the scripture that says Jesus will not come. Have I directed you to any message to go mad listen to? I quote scriptures here that everyone can read and make reference to.

Give scriptures to support your claim that the is not coming again

Maynman:

There won't be,. Sorry.

All the verses you are quoting, who were they referring to and which generation?

All the prophecies about Him before his birth were fulfilled to letter. This one too will be fulfilled. I pray that God should help your unvelieve in Jesus name

Maynman:

The Word of God standeth sure! There will be rapture

SIGN #14

#14. SAME SEX RELATIONSHIPS

50 SIGNS OF RAPTURE/END-TIME
(SOCIAL AND BEHAVIOURAL SIGNS Cont’d)

Leviticus 18:22 KJV
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 18:22 NIV
22 Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable

Same sex marriage is the marriage or sexual intimacy between a man and a man, or between a woman and woman. It can also be called homosexuality or lesbianism if it involves man and man, or woman and woman respectively.

From biblical account, It was majorly for this type of sexual relationship that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. And because of that all such actions are also referred to as Sodomy, named after the Sodom that God destroyed for such abominable acts.

Same sex relationship is now very popular and gaining acceptability among many nations. Presently as of February 2022, about thirty countries have legalized same sex relationship and marriage

However, in the scripture above, God gives a strict commandment against homosexuality and calls it abomination.

From online extractions, Abomination can be described as something disgusting, unimaginable detestable, and abhorrent.

Sometimes ago, I think in the year 2020 or 2021, I had a dream which can be interpreted as acts of Sodomy (homosexuality and lesbianism) becoming widespread in Nigeria. We have been praying against such; you, also, can join us in that prayer. Judgement of God is always hastened upon such nation where that becomes widespread

If you are an homosexual, you can repent today and ask Jesus to deliver you.

When you shall see all these things know that it is at the door. (Mathew 24:33)

Jesus is coming. Stay ready.

Please share with others.

JESUS is coming. Stay ready in absolute repentance and holiness.

some mugus are saying we should protest now cos fuel is now 580, I remember during cashless policy that we locked shop for close to 2 months n we couldn’t make sales but they don’t care about our predicament cos they believe it will help their candidate

We went to bed hungry despite having money in our account n it was so bad that we used 3k to collect 10k, but they don’t care because they thought it will help their candidate but today they want us to join d protest

If petrol turn 1000 we self will increase price of goods, it is highly hypocritical to keep quiet during cashless that killed many n affected us badly but now u want to die cos of what u think its affecting u

What are you talking about here. Was it not the government of your party that did cashless policy?

God have mercy. Let the light of Christ permeate through the darkness in the hearts of many in Jesus name.

nawa4naija:
Thank God for his life
But we have much more to worry about in this part of our world

Hallelujah.

You are very correct 💯

TsbAfrica:
Adultery is stealing

Thank you

Skyview01:


I am done talking with you! Bye

Skyview01, drink cold water and calm down. It has not gotten to that.

Nobody can show you from the bible where it says, thou shall not smoke Indian hemp but most pastors in the world know that smoking Indian hemp is a sin. In like manner, I may not be able to show you directly from the bible that adultery is tantamount to stealing but I can use logic to arrive at that.

People can steal anything. People steal information, password, idea and many things

Skyview01:


Where in the bible is adultery referred to as stealing!

What do you call surreptitiously taking what belongs to another person?

Skyview01:


you are not making sense. Sorry

Biblically, the body of your wife belongs to you and vice versa. And you are the only one permitted by God to derive sexual pleasure from her body.

If a man now commit adultery with another man's wife, he has stolen from what belong to another man.

Skyview01:


How? Care to explain?

In each case, somebody is stealing what belongs to another person.

If you are man committing adultery with another woman, what you call consent in that case, is just that you are aiding another woman to steal from what belongs to your wife only, and in this case you.

So that woman is stealing your wife's property, but you are the one aiding her.

ManspaceBarber:
The only constant thing in life is change. The best part is positive change.

And that is what Jesus stands for, positive change like this one that happened to the man in the video.
