Kobojunkie: God called you through Jesus Christ and not as He called the Nation of Israel, so can you imagine Jesus Christ asking anyone to go hoard food because a man who calls himself pope is about to sign papers?
Please stop making God appear an slowpoke of sorts with your werey assertions.
The only nation He has ever called as His own is Israel. In Jesus Christ, He calls to individuals- Matthew 26 vs 28 - 30 - and He calls them to selfless living, not to hoarding food and wealth in His name.
And where did God say He cannot tell someone to store food?
The Dream I had about the Pope signing a document, while surrounded by many clergymen and what the Lord said
In the early hours of Monday, 8th November, 2021, Nigerian time, I had the following dream.
In the dream, I saw Pope Francis, seated, in the Vatican. He was in white attire. He was the only one in white. Many clergymen, I think, Hundreds of them, all of them wearing black suits and white collars like bishops attire, were seated round about him. He was seated in the centre of them all, like in a circle
A document was in front of the pope. Then he signed the document as the clergymen watched him signed it.
As he signed the document, the voice of the Lord came to me and said, *'now start buying food to keep'*.
Immediately as the Voice said that to me, I understood that very soon, it might be difficult to buy food and that document signed may be the trigger.
I did a brief analysis of this covid data yesterday, and i perceived incoherence in it.
Almost everyday, the number of discharged cases are in the multiples of new cases. where are they seeing the discharged cases? are they not the new cases that will be admitted, treated and later discharged? And on daily basis, discharged cases are way much greater than new cases
annyplenty: In my last post, I said, In the first stage of sexual lust, your eyes pick the image of what you want to sexually lust after, and then send those images to your heart. This is *lust of the eyes* After this, you proceed to the second stage of sexual Lust.
When you are alone, your heart brings back the images your eyes send to it, back to you and then the heart begins to fantasy how pleasurable it will be if you have a real touch, taste or test[/b]of those images! be it bossom, backside or any other sensuous part.
At this stage, lust is given by the acronynm.
[b]L –Longing for
U -Ungodly
S -Sexual
T -Touch/Taste/Test/Trial
This is ust of the heart.
If your fantasy to touch, test, or taste those images your eyes come in contact with, which your heart is now desiring to touch is not checked on time, and those images are not available for you to touch, you may end up touching your own private parts by yourself. This is how masturbation begins.
Now, imagine that you now touch your own private parts by yourself and it is pleasurable to you, another time, when you are alone, your heart will bring the pleasurable memory to you again and desires another touch. Now nothing is hindering you; it is your body you want to touch, this time. Then you easily go ahead and touch your private parts again. And then, the cycle continues. It is difficult to stop and difficult to break.
This is where I will stop on masturbation.
As you can see, it is a product of sexual lust.
Because of this scripture charges us as follows;
Proverb 4: 23 *Keep thy heart* with all diligence; for *out of it* are the *issues of life*.
Mathew 5:28 But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to *lust after her* hath committed *adultery* with her already *in his heart*.
Can you see the connection between what you see, say or hear and what your heart thinks or desires?
If you found out that your heart is always longing or desiring to have a physical touch/taste/test of any sexual object you are exposed to, you are already in the second stage of lust. Please, quickly deal with it or seek help.
*Prayers*
1. Lord, Jesus Christ, heal me of all adultery of heart.
2. Lord, Jesus Christ, stretch out your hand into my heart and delete all lustful images that have been stored there.
3. Send the fire of the Holy Ghost into my heart and refine it.

LilMissFavvy: Christians be wise o, for serious grievous offenses, eg attempt to kill, you can forgive, then also remind God that vengeance belongs to him, that he should judge. You got to pray right before enemies use your life to gamble.
You are correct.
Vengeance belongs to God and He will avenge His children
A little over a decade ago, one of my friends owed me one thousand US ($100) dollars and did not pay back because he was bankrupt. About the same time, while I was expecting my friend to pay me back, I also borrowed about 200 dollars from one of my other friends to run a business. The business ran at a loss.
Now, I needed to pay back the $200. I made payment appointments on about two different occasions with my friend that borrowed me the $200 but I could not meet up with the payment.
One day, while inside a BRT bus in one of the popular Lagos bus terminus, heading to a destination and waiting for the bus to be filled up, I called the friend I owed $200 to beg him for another payment plan. To my surprise, he told me, he forgave me the money and that I should not pay it again. He said we were best friends and that he believed, I would have paid back the money, if I had. That was a very great relief to me and I was happy.
While, I was still inside the same bus, happy that my debt had been waived, the Spirit of God told me that I have just been forgiven my debt, that I should pick my phone and call my other friend that owed me $1000 and also forgive him his debt. In obedience, I picked the phone and called him not to pay the $1000 debt again. He was happy as well.
Now, that would not have made so much sense to me just as it would not have made much sense to most people. Why should the Holy Spirit asked me to waive a debt of $1000 to another person because someone waived a debt of $200 to me? It would have made more sense to me, as a human being, if the Holy Spirit had financially blessed my debtor so that he could pay me back my $1000 debt and then I would take $200 from it and pay my own debt and then still had a whole $800 to cater for my family and still had some money to fill my pocket.
But guess what? The way of God is different. I believed that God wanted to teach me forgiveness and that I could not fully understand the gravity of forgiveness unless he taught me to forgive things that are painful to me. By so doing, I would have been used to forgiving 'perceived' painful offences and then to forgive ‘perceived’ little offences will not be so difficult.
Also, the Holy Spirit was teaching me that the face value or weight or gravity of offence does not matter to when God when in to comes to forgiveness but that what matters to God is whether forgiveness is granted or not. To the Holy Spirit, someone had forgiven me my debt and so I should forgive another person, his debt. He was concerned that forgiveness was done and not how much was forgiven. If I were to consider that how much was involved, I could have even gotten my debtor arrested, retrieve my money and then pay my own debtor. But the Holy Spirit was interested in something much more important. The way of God is truly different and unsearchable.
Can you remember the parable of the Lord Jesus Christ in Luke 15:3-5 that if a man had a hundred sheep, and one is lost, that man is supposed to leave the ninety-nine behind and go to look for the single one that was lost? Now, to most human being, that will not make sense. They will ask, 'Supposing something bad happen to the ninety-nine before I come back?' Let me just leave that one sheep to get lost like that’. But God is interested in every single sheep like the other.
If your boss at the office forgave your coming late to office, then you forgive the bus conductor that abused you in the bus. Forgiveness is forgiveness; it has nothing to do with weight or gravity of offence. If your friend could forgive you the lies you told him, then you should forgive your wife of her adultery.
It is like that. If anyone can forgive you any offence, no matter how little you perceived the offence to be, then you must forgive your offender of any offence that is committed against you, no matter, how big you perceived the offence to be, including adultery.
This is similar to how masses frown when court sentenced citizens that stole a supposed minor items into prison. You often hear statements like ‘why should they sentence someone to prison for stealing ten thousand naira when there are many government officials stealing billions? But rather than viewing the two stealings as being punishable offences, they are try to ascribe punishability of offence to the weight of what was stolen.
Jesus is coming. Stay ready in absolute repentance, watchfulness and holiness.
Watching/watchfulness is one of the components of the armor of God mentioned in ephesian 6. However, believers trivialise issues of watching. Wake up from your slumbering and watch.
