Today, my memories were projected into its past antecedence and it gave me the opportunity to again  recall how helpless and discouraged I was.I was at the verge of giving up in life because nothing showed me that there was hope. My university grades were poor simply because there was no sponsor and no more to buy books. But Pastor Anita book on DONT PACK YOUR BAG YET gave me hope and the need for me not to be discouraged and give up.Today, I have finished school and working with that same certificate that I almost gave up on.Pastor Anita is indeed the light of the world the Bible talks about. It is crystal clear that the she is anointed of GOD.She deserves to be celebrated.HAPPY BIRTHDAY MA.

What is the misunderstanding and quarrel over the simple truth 'Pastor Chris should be respected'.?God will be so disappointed at any man that uses his intelligence against God's wisdom.The wisdom of God is not taught in universities but in the churches(1Tim3v15), the church of God, the pillar and ground of THE TRUTH.The word of God is the only tool that  can help us analyse and judge all Christian activities.
How would you feel to know that all your criticisms against this great man of God, Pastor Chris, are unfair characterisations made out of ignorance and do not represent what happens in the church?
Romans14v4(TLB):They are God's servants, not yours.They are responsible to him(God),not to you.Let him tell them whether they are right or wrong.And God is able to make them do as they should.
If we must accept the truth, this scripture knocks of what one of the persons said that God has anointed them also to criticise pastor Chris.
The bible shows us from the scripture above that they(the likes of Pastor Chris, Prophet T.B Joshua, Bishop Oyedepo etc) are God's servants and no man has the responsibility of talking them down, it is deadly to call men of God names. I thought, intelligence should rather help us to understand and accept the truth.
1Tim5v17:Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
We can see clearly from the scripture above that Pastor Chris deserves honour and respect from all of us, and this has nothing to do whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not, because it is God's idea for his men to be respected.You will only endanger your own self if you choose not to respect them.

Roman14v4:who are thou that judgeth another man's servant? To his master he standeth or falleth,
God has not ordained you to judge pastor Chris, and stop deceiving people with your false doctrines.You have said a lot of things out of ignorance,there is no problem that you don't know. The big problem is that you don't know that you don't know

Pastor Chris is a genuine man of God and stands as a perfect example to be emulated. There are no records incriminating him in any form of illegality.Except, you are very dull of hearing, if not his teachings are clear, he has kicked against illegitimate ways of doing things even in his messages.It is clear that a man that does not have a father(bastard), does not know the value of a father.,this forms the reason why you could say you don't have respect for any man or pastor.
Talking without fact is a Mark of insanity

We must realise that, that you don't like or agree with someone does not mean you are correct.when there is too much foolishness in a man or when a man has been programmed to be destroyed, he could also act and argue blindly.If we must analyse the things of God correctly, we must follow the word of God if not you will be exposing how foolish and insane you are.It is a clear fact that Pastor Chris is a genuine man of God because of his track records.Anyone that does not agree with that is fake,unreasonable, and irrational.The issue of respecting him is founded on God's word.
1Thes5v12-13:And we beseech you,brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,And to esteem them very highly,
If really you have a teachable heart and a foolish one, you will agree with me that it is God's idea that men of God should be respected.

The question on whether "it is right to pray for God to be with you" is not a question that has one direction answer.If the question is:is it right for a Christian to pray for God to be with him or her?. The answer would have been,"it is wrong."
But a man that is not born again is not a Christian, he is the only one that can pray that kind of prayer.
Our understanding of two basic things which I am going to explain, will help us know how to answer this question.
There is a clear difference between a"statement of fact" and a "promise". A statement of fact is a sovereign declaration of Almighty God concerning the Christian(new creation).They are never in the future.They are either in the present or in the past.While a promise is in the future.In the Old Testament, they were to pray like that because God's presence was a promise to them.Exodus3v11-12:And Moses said unto God,that who am I,that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?And he(God) said, certainly I will be with thee,
But for us in New Testament,God's presence is not a promise but a statement of fact, a present hour reality;Let see in Mat28v20:, ló, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
1cor3v16;know ye not that ye are the temple of God,and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?:The Christian is clean enough for God to live in, He is the carrier of God.

After reading your thread on"is Christ Embassy fraudulent?", I realised that you are not having too much problem but the only problem you are having is some little things you don't know that have made your problem complex and I have decided to help you explain some basic things you ought to have known by now.
In the first place, Christ Embassy is a church and not a social club or political group.It is not even a business group and so there is no corellation between Christ Embassy and the fraud you talked about.Christ Embassy messages are on the net for everyone to see.
At this point, I want you to get an English dictionary as I explain certain terms you misused as a result of your limited understanding of things;The word fraudulent is an adjective, intended to deceive somebody,usually in order to make money illegally.The whole world knows that Christ Embassy is a legitimate body of Christ that stands on the truth and as such does not indulge in any form of illegality.
If what you said is true about the church in Benin, then you also have a problem here.From the phrase"inability to pay for services rendered".There is a clear difference between being fraudulent and the inability to pay for services rendered.
Inability to pay for services rendered could occur as a result of the church internal challenges, this does not mean that Christ Embassy or Pastor Chris is fraudulent .You Mr Good man that is not fraudulent ,in your whole life, have you not found yourself in a position that you experienced difficulty in paying for services rendered to you?.Did it happened because you are fraudulent ?.Drop your pride and ignorance and ask for forgiveness now that you have known.

What makes a prophet a false prophet?.that you don't like what a man of God teaches does not make him a false prophet.And we should realise that Christianity is not based on what we feel or like or what we don't like.Rather, it is based on the dictates of the word of God.When a man goes contrary to the dictates of the word of God then your Christianity has a question Mark.For example, did God give you an office to expose false prophets?
Look at what God has told Christians in His Word(Heb13v17):Obey them that have the rule over you,and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account,,
But if you think you are better than His prophets, please read Romans14v4(TLB);They are God's servants, not yours.They are responsible to Him, not to you.Let Him tell them whether they are right or wrong.And God is able to make them do as they should.
It is an error on your part to do otherwise and there are consequences talking about men of God whether they are right or wrong.in Number12v1-10, Miriam became leprous for talking against Moses.

[color=#990000][/color]My advice to you is that it is wisdom for you to recognise issues that are beyond your scope and seek the true teachings from people like us who by the special grace of God can teach you the undiluted truth.The very concept"why evangelicals should stop evangelising " doesn't reflect the character and lifestyle of Jesus that you talked about in your message.
One of the beautiful thing God has done for humanity is giving us the opportunity to be born again,because when a man is born again,you receive the God life inside of you and that life enables man to live the good life outside.It's like putting a Toyota engine into a KIA car. That is why true Christianity is divinity in humanity.Without being born again, a man can't maintain Godly morals, he can only have man's morals which is still substandard as far as God is concerned.we can see this in Isaiah64v6:But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags,
Rom10v1-3:Brethren,my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. for I bear record that they have a zeal of God but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness,and going about to establish their own righteousness(morals),have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Without the life of God inside ot a man,he can't live it outside. To recieve that life,a man must be born again

Education is intellectual wisdom, it affects the mind of man only and man is not a mind but a spirit. Revelation is divine wisdom, the highest form of wisdom requires for the building of a better man and society.

Man is a spirit, Job10v11, Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced with bones and sinews. Job32v8, but there is a spirit in man, it is the spirit (not the mind) that gives life2cor3v6, the spirit gives life, the real sustenance of man comes from the spirit, hence, the quality of a man's spirit will invariably determines the quality of the whole being of man. But the growth and development of man's spirit is by the word of God only.1peter2v2 as new born babes,desire the sincere milk of the word , that ye may grow thereby.

Government's involvement in the development of man's spirit as against it's involvement in the development of human minds(education), will ultimately bring about the desired change we all yearn.1Tim4v7, exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little:but godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is,and of that which is to come(future).

The following spiritual materials should be integrated into our educational system:
1. Recreating your world. By Chris Oyakhilome Phd.
2. Rhapsody of Realities.   By Chris and Anita Oyakhilome

These materials will absolutely rebrand anyone that reads them for the overall change that we want in our society.

Congrat joagbaje,l believe you raised that dead man, after all in John14v12, Christians are authorised to break the records of Jesus.In Col2v9-10,we are complete in Him.why should raising a dead body be a subject of argument. It's a matter of the quality of a man's faith. It's the quality of a man's faith that determines a man's result.I like Christ Embassy, it is a place where the word of God is not diluted and the miracles are real.

No pastor that is called of God can be a devil at the same time.if God will open your eye to see that you could be the one who has not prayed for your pastor that led to what you are talking about, you will repent and start praying for your pastor.God holds us responsible for what He has given us the ability to pray and change that we didn't.Luke6v37:by judging and condemning people, the way you are doing, you are putting yourself in a place of judgement and condemnation as well. It is absolutely wrong for a whole family to be addressed as robbers simply because one member of the family stole.we are warned in 2Tim3v1-7 against all these.

I want to thank joagbaje for bringing this topic: our preparation in prayer by Pastor Chris. A man's commitment to his prayer determines God commitment to his prayer.

In 2cor8v9, Jesus made people rich.In deut8v18(TLB), even God gives power to make people rich.if wealth is a bad thing God wouldn't do that. Please note: first fruit, tithing and partnership are the supernatural structures through which God makes people rich.

God gave us the example to follow(john3v16).

nuclearboy:

Roman Centurions, non-Jews, Ethiopians, Jews themselves etc ALL testified of Jesus and took their ill and diseased to Him. Same with His Apostles.

Nobody was disappointed. Nobody.

And here, we find the good foundation set up by these blessed of God being eroded by criminals parading as Christians. People who have no conscience, no knowledge of God or truth, no scruples masquerading as Angels of Light. You convince a recovering person to stop using drugs and not only kill her, but her children too are now under threat. And for what? Money, money, money.

This man is definitely cursed of God

You dey talk your own
Miracles will still abound, healing will still continue

you need more than pen and paper. They will go a long way though
