Ileke-IdI:
I remember a couple of months ago, while listening to PRAYERLINE on the phone with my mom, the pastor talked about building a church in NIgeria. A church like the one they already had in Maryland, and like many already in NIgeria. So why another one?
He said something about members "donating" large amounts of cash if they want the church to be built. And my mom was going to send "donations" in hundrends amount, I was like wtf? Must you? She said something aout it being her obligation to the Lord.

These pastors are tricky, most of them are thieves. Is it by force to buy private jet? And why are the budgets not posted online?

Churches are now business deal.

the simplest way to reach the whole world with the gospel of Christ is via the internet for now,it is faster and  does not have any physical barrier whatsoever,imagine reaching the talibans with the gospel they may shoot your head if they meet with you face to face ,but with the internet the cant shoot anybodys head.
i think we should rather applaud these men of god who are ensuring that that the gospel is getting to the ends of the earth.
also the number of people getting saved via the internet is ever on the increase proving that this is one sure means of evangelism[quote][/quote]

u cant take d world for Jesus. Being a friend to the world is being in enmity with God. Jesus is coming for few people (spotless)  and not the multitude u want to win for Christ

very interesting

num 1.Jesus is coming for the church not for a few people {Ephesians 5:27}
num 2.remember the great commission in mark 16:15 [go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature}

happy new year everyone
only those who go for knowledge can ever win
and remember intelligent people discuss
so lets discuss and not use bombs

father in the name of Jesus, i pray that goodness and peace rests in this country,that our leaders function under the counsel and wisdom of God
that the leaders make the right decision
that this country is free from anarchy and violence
evil will not prevail in this nation in the name of Jesus
amen

my son has full curly hair,i want it maintained that way, i have dreadlocks , my husband has straight hair,and yet we are all burning for Jesus.interesting isn't it

i don't think its anyone's business what any other person does with his or her hair,

if you don't like the perm keep away from it ,
if you do go ahead and get it done. lol

many go to church week after week but do not participate in activities like evangelism,prayers and fasting e.t.c but a lot of times are found criticizing the ministers or even brethren who are very zealous,they tag them as 'holy holy' but as Christians we have been mandated to reconcile the world to God we are in the ministry of reconciliation.2COR 5:17 - 20

how passionate are you ?

this year make up your mind to serve god with everything you have,with all your heart
get involved with evangelism,you can start with that neighbor of yours who is not born again.

intercede for the countries of the world think of the impoverished lands of Sudan,the ivory coast, Afghanistan, and so many others,its time to pray some more stop the self centredness

go ahead and make the church a praise in the earth

i totally concur

medically we know that damage to the cornea is the second highest reason for blindness and usually in countries with  donor banks they are usually implanted in individuals

the use of the artificial cornea to correct refractive error in an individuals eyesight is  process known a keratoprosthesis discovered by the french  ophthalmologist Guillaume Pellier de Quengsy this is a scientific discovery used to enhance visualisation
some researches as regards this were carried out in sweden with ten patients as well and their vision were improved

we thank god for scientific discoveries and we know there ll be more

@ifeke-idi
are you born again
if you are i can start the explanation right away

@ifeke - idi
read point number 2

first of all are you born again

“a dream is an activity of the human spirit which occurs in the sleep modes of the human body senses and mind.” Now, this activity of the human spirit is characterized in two classes:

1. The spirit’s imagination of the inner mind’s activities of the inward man. The inward man has imaginations.
2. And then, secondly, the actual encounters or experiences of the human spirit.
When you sleep, your spirit, man is a spirit, he has a soul and he lives in the body.

1. There is an inward man and an outward man. The outward man is the body and his senses. Now, the inward man is the human spirit with his soul and the soul is the seat of the mind, the emotions and the will. Now, the human spirit does have his own imaginations just like you have your imaginations of your mind—the human spirit has imaginations. Now, when you go to sleep (when you are in the sleep mode), your senses are somewhat suspended. You don’t know what’s happening around you. You don’t know what’s happening to you, but the human spirit doesn’t sleep. See, the human spirit is awake; the human spirit functions, and at that time the human spirit has imaginations. And, those imaginations can be affected by the kind of things that your spirit has been receiving in the day time, not necessarily on that particular day but over a period of time. Now, those things affect the imaginations of your spirit. And when your spirit has those imaginations, those are dreams; they are the dreams you have, they are the pictures in the mind of your spirit—what we call the inner mind of your spirit, because the mind, remember, the mind is in the soul and the soul is a possession of the spirit,So, you see that you are sleeping and your spirit has imaginations. And so you wake up and there’s been this activity, but it was all a spiritual imagination. That means the imagination of your spirit.

@kunle oshob

i do not starve meaning that the word "starve " does not exist in my dictionary

ALSO only poor men talk about money the way you do

and for your information the more i give the more i receive this is a principle at work
but you know it is very obvious you re very frugal and definitely not a giver being that anytime we talk about giving you shrivel and writhe with pain

you are like your father who only steals kills and destroys but i am like my father who so willingly could give up his dear son{jn 3:16} for the whole world including you, he did not care about any other thing at that point but the world

what you sow is definitely what you will reap
if you sow corn you will reap AKAMU i bet that's your breakfast every morning

@kunle oshob
my first fruit i have alredy planned to give and i have made all the necesary arrangements
my seed for next year i have arranged and will definitely increase
you fit vex na your buisness

@babaearly
what a man soweth tht shall he also reap

@kay 17
do not derail the thread

ecclesiastes 11:4-6

he that observeth the wind shall not sow and he that regards the cloud shall not reap as thou knowest not the way of the spirit nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child even so thou knowest not the works of god who maketh all.in the morning sow thine seed and in the evening withhold not thine hand.

another year is dawning fast soon it will be 12 midnight december 31 st 2010
what do you want next year to look like
what are your aspirations

you can surely connect with a precious seed

scripture says
psalm 126:6
he that goeth forth bearing precious seed shall doubtless come again rejoicing bringing his sheaves with him

therefore get your seed ready

@kunle oshob
in my life there have been no downward happenings whatsoever
every thing that seemed like trouble eventually turned around for my good
i am a product or rather an outcome of so many challenges
i am standing stronger than than ever
and like yeast in the midst of troubles i still rise

is this too difficult to understand, then if it is i wonder what happened at the cross if it was a problem for Jesus or rather it was a  necessary challenge that will eventually produce great men 

christ in you the hope of glory is what is now

@NUCLEARBOY
read the thread dude before talking
challenges are not called "ups and downs" rather they are the yeast factors in the toughening proess necesary for good christian growth and promotion
lol

i know who holds tomorow
he's a God that delares the end from the beggining
definitely the comming year can only be greater and better with more goals to acheive
i look forward to 2011 with all my heart

na wa oh

pls can someone tell me where it is written that the criteria to decide if one is a man of god is if

a. he puts on rags
b. his place of habitation
c. the place where he carries out evangelism
d. his educational qualification
and lots more

it is stupid for anyone to believe these and many more to be reasons to decide if one is a man of god
a man of god is one who is anointed and called into the office,
of course there may be times in our walk of faith where we have to put ourselves in positions of discomfort to ensure that the gospel is preached

i have slept under tents, and under harsh conditions just to ensure that the work of ministry moves on

it is not a new thing
it is called MINISTRY

i m so rich
am so rich

@kunle oshob
good to know that you also believe that the story is false
like you said its just a story and trust me the papers will sell with such headlines

interesting, how only important people can elicit such great responses from all around the world.
like the saying goes only those who re important are talked about
@kunle oshob, this gospel will be preached anyhow, thanks for the publicity

to
an astute visionary,
a great man of god
royalty
an epitome of success
a leader
a patriot
sir,
words cannot express how much we love you,
your words have taken us to greater heights.
your love for god is ever so inspiring
your teachings have opened our eyes to who we are as Christians
your words are so precious but yet can be understood by everyone
as a country you have made us understand the real meaning of patriotism
as youths we now know that we can be anything we so aim to be
you have taught us to dream big and to realize that anything is possible to us
thank you sir
happy birthday sir.

@kunle oshob
thanks  for creating this thread for giving us this rare privilege.

i agree with newmi joagbaje deserves this more than anyone else as he has thrown light on several issues raised on this forum
but since two nominees are required i still nominate joagbaje

who go vex make e vex no be in fault

old news

when it comes to money only those who know themselves to be part of the poor masses make a lot of nonsense noise,
oya if you know that you have personally sponsored the gospel over the world with at least one thousand dollars this year raise up your hand or forever be silent .
there is no proof about this and there can never be
it takes millions of dollars to hold such programs as night of bliss e.t.c not 1,000,000 naira

@Azibaula
I am not 'jocking' I am dead serious!

If you are dead serious , can you explain how you fit in into Jesus's interpretation of the verse?

Matthew 13:40-43
40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Are you an angel ? Have we reached the end of the world? Judgement day?

@tiatma,
You can say all you want I am not Joagbaje nor his side kick or front kick.

And what has Amala got to do with religion

This kunleoshob of a guy must really be one unserious person. Let me take it that he is jocking.

Please I will like to know the vision and purpose of this thread. I don't really know what it is about .Thanks
