Christianity Etc › Attention!!! Strictly For Christians!! by bennyann(op): 4:07pm On Jan 13, 2017 |
The main purpose of this thread is to intercede for all the monikers that are unbelievers, that do not know God, that do not acknowledge God exists and that have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour to do so. This is a kind of thread where you have to pray for or make declarations as you mention the specific monikers God has laid on your hearts or that you love and care for, that you really from your heart want them to make heaven alongside you. ( This is a spiritual activity, so as we wouldn't want to disturb those mentioned unnecessarily or cause nuisance to them, the monikers shouldn't be mentioned exactly as they are but we should make sure it can be identified easily. We can do that by applying signs or symbols just after each or more syllables of the monikers. E.g. Se.un, Son-of-lu-c1-fer) NOTE: we have to go by the rules so as not to give anyone reason to take off this thread. And I also believe any moniker intended in your mentions here is also recorded in heaven and will represent the real person. This is not a general prayer but intercession for specific monikers laid on the hearts of those who have the love of Jesus within and without, those who are touched to pray for unbelievers or the lost after going through the OP. NOTE: After declaring salvation into the life of a particular moniker you've chosen, PLEASE, do not go to other threads to insult or attack them. Because when you do that, you are negating the declarations you've just made into their lives, you are making sure it doesn't come to fruition in their lives. So please do not waste your efforts, let the love in your hearts guide you through them all. So I'll advise that when you suddenly have the urge of using negative words on them because of how they react towards you, PLEASE, quickly come back to this thread and pray for them rather. You can decide to also intercede for family and friends outside nairaland. This thread is like a seed sown by God in nairaland forum and someday, while we're still alive, we will see its growth and how far God has answered or worked with our prayers. I declare that this thread will not die but will accomplish its purpose in Jesus name! Amen. I will do my best by the special grace of God to make this thread active but to encourage you who know and love Jesus, and to make you understand and see things as I see them, so you can easily join me in interceeding, PLEASE, do read the excerpts below from Kat Kerr's Revealing Heaven. Thank you all and many thanks to you skeendyke. Your loved ones are the biggest thing on God’s heart. They were His first. He loaned us to each other. “I loaned you to each other for a while on this earth, so I have you be born into the earth. You all belong to Me. I want the vilest sinner to be free, because they are all My offspring. I sent you here so you could know Me and I could take you back home and be with Me.” He’s married to the backslider. He will pursue them when you pray for them. Don’t ever stop praying for your loved ones (or anyone you know). You may be the only rescue line that ties them to Him, your family members especially. If they’re your kind, either through marriage or adoption or you loved them and called them family, you and your household (not maybe will be save) will be saved because you’re standing for their salvation but you can’t talk bad about them. “They’re in prison.” “They’re low life!” You just cancelled your prayers. You can’t be double minded. You can’t make a stand and then step back. You’re not going to drop the words you’ve been saying because if you won’t drop them, He won’t either. If He needs to wrestle with them on their death bed. Christ has the keys of Hell, death and the grave. Don’t you think that does something with those keys. Your words give Him the right to do it. If you won’t stop the words you speak for your family members’ salvation, the last breath they take, he will go and wrestle with them. They could be in a coma and He’ll go wrestle with them because if He lets your words drop to the ground, then His Word is not true. If you abide in Me and My Words abide in you, you can ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.” You can stand on that scripture for your family members’ salvation. If you don’t turn from what you’re saying for your family members’ salvation, if you don’t turn from what you’re saying, He’s bound to do something about this. There is hope for everybody no matter how wicked they are, if you’re standing for their salvation. “They’re running around in My hand. When I’m ready, I’m going to make them Mine! You can’t stop declaring. You’ve got to stand on My Word that says and you can’t let those words drop and you can’t start talking bad about them.” Those words will not drop even if someone gets taken home to Heaven. The words you declare over those people are still there, still crying out. God still hears them.
The balconies of Heaven are real. Get in your prayer closet and declare, “I declare that they’ll be a mighty man or woman of God.” “I declare they’re going to be free.” “I declare they won’t miss their destiny.” “I declare they will be a living testimony of the saving power of the Blood of Jesus Christ” and then you’re actually releasing life and power with your mouth. Choose life and not death. Stop saying what the enemy already knows what he’s doing with them. He laughs every time you talk bad about your family members. The demons laugh “They’re agreeing with us!” “We got ‘em!” You’ve got to release life. You’ve got to release love. It’s the greatest weapon ever created in this world.
More about God saving loved ones
We declare that they’ll become a mighty man of God! We declare that you’ll be a living testimony to the saving power of Jesus Christ. So they have declared what they know God wants said. You shouldn’t say anything else over your loved ones. That’s what you need to be declaring. Agree with Heaven. “My will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.” They don’t have to decide in Heaven whether to serve Him or not, or whether we’re to love Him or not. They’re already there. The agreement is that they know what God’s will is for your lives and when we agree that His will be done in our family’s lives, the way He wants it done and the people that are in Heaven are agreeing with that, you’re agreeing with Heaven. If you don’t know how to pray for someone, that’s the safest prayer besides praying in the Holy Ghost that you can pray. So if you have someone in your family running from God, guess what? They’re running right around in His hand. And as long as you’re praying for them one day, He’s going to close it and they’ll surrender (even if you never see them do it). The Word declares that if you know Him, and you love Him (I’m paraphrasing), if you serve Him, you AND your household will be saved! He didn’t say maybe and He didn’t say sometimes. He said they would be saved. So don’t ever stop praying for your loved ones. I don’t care if they’re in a coma. Guess what? HE can still speak to their spirit. They can still hear the Holy Spirit. They can still be reached. So don’t give up on them.
He told me to tell people, “Don’t you ever say somebody went to Hell” because even if you never saw them accept Him, you don’t know what went on in the spirit realm, you don’t know what went on before that very second of death if He presented Himself to them, because of family members and people standing on that Word. He won’t let it return to Him void.
Praying for Your Family
You may be the only reason someone gets into Heaven. The first time I went, the Father told me, “Don’t you ever stop standing for your family members. You tell My people, don’t ever stop praying. I don’t care how bad they are, how far they’re running. My Word says that if you love Me and serve Me, you and you household will be saved, not maybe!” But you have to stand on that. You can’t talk bad about them after you’ve made that declaration.
They still have to make that choice but if someone is standing on that word, God has to do something. He can’t let it return to Him void. So don’t give up. I don’t care if they’re in prison. I don’t care what crimes they have committed, or are committing. Don’t stop declaring that they will be saved and know Him, that they won’t miss their destiny because even if they don’t do it here, guess what, we’re coming right back to this earth for a thousand years. People will still use their gifts. It doesn’t stop when you die.
Your Mouth Hold the Power of Life and Death
We are made in God’s image. He wants to empower us. We are His sons and His daughters. He wants us to operate like Him. But we ourselves are our worst enemy. Not Satan. It’s us. We hold God back from coming to us. We hold ourselves back from receiving from Him. And one of the ways we do it the most is this little thing right here in our mouth. The Word says it holds the power of life and death. What you speak with your mouth has everything to do with where you are right now in your life. You can say all you want to, you love the Lord, serve the Lord and you love people but when you use this as a weapon for the enemy, you invite him. You give him permission to come into your life, your home and your family’s lives, especially, if you’re the head of the house. You’re meant to be a guardian and a protector. You need to declare what God says. That’s what the Word says. You’re supposed to speak life, encouragement, edification. You’re supposed to declare what God wants over people’s lives, not what you’re seeing with your eyes. If you want a family member to change, stop saying what they’re doing. Stop telling everybody else what they’re doing. If you say, “Father, I want you to save them” then don’t say how awful they are, lousy, mean, hateful, bitter and spiteful. You’ve just tagged them. You just wiped out your prayer. You can pray all day long and every time you turn around and say negative things about them, you cancelled your prayer. You may be the only hope that family member or friend has to make Heaven when you stand in the gap for somebody and I’m standing! Declare that you want them to know the Lord, that they will be a mighty man or woman of God, that they will not miss their destiny. The Father loves them. He purposed for them to belong to them. You release great power on their behalf for their salvation. That’s what God wants you to say even if they’re mean, even if they hate you. That’s what walking in love is called. That’s what He means when He says “lay down your life for another.” That doesn’t mean taking a bullet. That would be too easy. Then you wouldn’t have to give up your flesh, your opinions, your ideas and what you want. You’d have to walk like Christ did. He loved the very ones who crucified Him. |

skeendyke: People I would love to meet
BennyAnn
She is definitely the first person I would love to meet. She is a jovial, cheerful, down-to-earth, affable and humorous personality that it will give me great pleasure to meet her in person. Knowing her has helped me plant my feet firmly in the path of knowing God.
Anyaoku77
I am not certain if I got the spelling of this moniker right but I am pretty sure many should recognise it easily. He is one person whose explanations of Biblical teachings and mysteries leave me with much respect for him. His knowledge in this area is uncommon. A cursory glance at his comments will reveal that he is a man of few words and possesses a calm quality that I have come to associate with his personality. I would really like to meet him.
Jeromejnr
Another theist I have come to value his opinion on matters relating to Christianity and the interpretation of Biblical concepts. I always give my attention to his posts knowing that there are nuggets of knowledge to gather from them. Another thing I love about him is his humility. He knows much but he is always quick to accept correction. Makes him third on my list of people I would love to meet in person.
Johnydon22
The only atheist on my list of people I would love to meet in person. I love his characteristic style of expressing his beilefs. He does it in such manner that he lays out his reasons against the existence of a deity without putting you off as the bulk of atheists here are known to do. He opposes religious beliefs on equal terms with those whose views do not correlate with his while serving them pieces of his depth of knowledge to substantiate his points. Will be a pleasure to meet him despite the wide gap in our religious beliefs.
BennyAnn, I tender my unreserved apologies for appearing late at your invitation but better late than never.  I wish you got the second moniker right though.  |

Heiii! TonyeBarcanista, good to see you on this section.
Who do you think commit that form of idolatry more? The blacks or the whites?
It shouldn't affect the whites much because the actors come from amongst them.
I think the blacks are more prone to such idolatry in the Op.
Your post would open the eyes of many who aren't aware already. Good one. |

Well, on a more serious note my brother, Jesus cares about you and that matters a lot. It doesn't matter how deep you've gone, He loves you still. Just have all the fun now while it last. Even king Nebuchadnezzar had so much fun than you but in the end, he acknowledged God. You may not believe all I'm saying now and take it as nothing but just wait, watch and see before you conclude.

Sucks to be a worker   Church was very OK, thanks  Till 6?  it sucks?  who forced you to be a worker? Hope you are not hungry sha? I got all you said in the lecture, that theism is the belief in a PERSONAL god. Lastly; there is FSM; the ultimately "true" religion   The FSM reminds me of hopefullandlord  and I saw a thread where Ranchhoddas named it the Flying Spaghetti Monster There IS a term for them, they are called Agnostic. ;( The agnostics seem to be smarter in their stand or conclusion in the eyes of no evidence. SirWere, thanks  |
Christianity Etc › Re: Who Is That Theists/atheists You Would Like To Meet Face To Face? by bennyann(op): 12:23pm On Jan 08, 2017 |
SirWere: Insult yourself to get the moniker relaxed and more willing to respond favourably. Nice trick .  You may not believe me but I was being sincere to you. I thought every form of belief can be accommodated under theism and atheism. So I apologize if you think or it looked like I fooled you. Also, I really struggled understanding all you put down. Errm; there are people who are far too "advanced" to believe in a particular religion or deity; but not willing to accept the existenalism and apparent nihilism atheism possesses as true either. Hence, they exist in some sort of dynamic equillibrum; unable to believe that a Just God or a Grand designer would ask us to choose a religion [in the midst of a thousand equally valid ones] order to get "rewarded" nor are they willing to accept that the current diversity of fauna and flora today and this vast and mysterious thing called the universe can be traced back to purely physical processes and explained by mathematics and physics; not spirituality.
Well; these people have different explainations for whom GOD truly is; going turn to turn from a spiritual being (Sarassin; I think) to a classic non-interventionist God that set the univerise up and running and probably started life on earth but doesn't interfere with humanity fumblings (4kings).
Some claim God is You; that "the inner reality you project affect how you view the world" (LOJ) and some also believe you are God and can manipulate Cosmic energy and (i kid you not) create planets if we so wish (Billyonaire) .
Oh; some also believe God is beyond the plane of mere "existence" and is locked in an infinite cycle of creation and non-creation (PastorAIO; I think).
There are, i'm sure, others out there but these are the few I can remember offhand.
One thing I've noticed is that there is a "vagueness" in the posts of these people when discussing about a supreme being. Their definitons are usually intruiging but unsatisfying; hinting at more than language can express but somewhat vague. It's almost like they expect you NOT to understand .
Oh; and there are those whose brand of philosophy is pantheism too SidL; platteon; I think. Weigraf, i think; lawani, and the now late David Freeman  Well, what I got from all you said is this: I still believe they fall under theism because they all believe in a god, deity or divinity. It's just that some do not believe in the practical or the religious aspect of it. Some believe they themselves are gods, some also believe the universe is like a god in itself, while others believe there is a god but not in the supremity of that god. At least it shows they believe there is a god. And those who are not willing to accept the existence and at the same time the absence of a deity should be in between I believe. There should be a term for them. |

The way you say it as if we fear church. I no fear oh. My adopted church is running a one week program sef. I might attend this week. There are so many things to gain from church beyond the stories I no longer believe in. Come-on LiberaDeus, how can you think that now?  Even the devil goes to church. If the devil can have the guts to go to church, is it you that will now be afraid of a church? But what were you doing that you could no longer make it?  |

SirWere: [/b] Well, this title is restricting. It only invites theists and atheists and ignore the other categories,
So I'm gonna say eff it and just dive in the people I am intrested in [/b]
LOJ - This is, so far, the most gentlemanly moniker on Nairaland I've seen. His humility and maturity is divine. Always a pleasure to read his posts, although they seem to be coming rarer nowadays.
Sarassin - The mystic. He seems schooled in "spirituality" and knows quite a bit about history. Although, I don't believe in OBE's and mantras (your brain's deceiving you folks); I find his posts quite......illuminating.
Deepsight : Shakespare reborn . Honestly; the guy's diction and grammar structure always has me feeling like some bushman still struggling to pen down english language. Sire, I want to eat the salad mentioned in Deepsight 3 : 16; if only for a moment 
sonoflucifer : This guy's humour is out of this world . George Carlin reincarnated.
Antiparticle : Ok, I don't think he's active anymore but this moniker was one of the reasons I started consciously sourcing for knowledge. His arguments are usually quite convincing and usually backed up with empirical proof. I sometimes, on a slow day, find myself looking at his posts and topics......
PastorAIO : Another intelligent moniker on NL. If Deepsight relies on complicated concepts to communicate, PastorAIO uses simple diction and clear contexts to express his thoughts. The many argument between him, Jack Bizzle and Deepsight is always an intresting one. Honestly; you guys are great
Teempakguy : Dude's smart, I'll give him that. But he doesn't follow through! I'm still waiting for the kuli-kuli machine schematic gaddemit  
dorox : The epitome of the rational theist, to me. He's one of the few theists on Nairaland who can hold a conversation without it desolving to the usual tantrums that embodify the religious section. Great man, really
Scholar8200 : This is another great theist on Nairaland, in my view. He has a good command of biblical theology coupled with humility. He doesn't fly headlong into arguments but approaches in a soft manner. Deep respeck sire.
The list is quite exhaustive and my hand aches; so I'll cheat and just mention them as I remember them
platteon Joseph1013 JackBizzle hopefulLandlord urahara ValentineMary
et al et al.
Honestly, you guys are great. The conversations here on Nairaland sunk me into a exisential crisis and pulled me back out; drove me turns by turns from just accepting things as they are to finding out WHY they are what they are; they played a huge role in changing my view of the world
I feel privileged to have met you all.  I'm so sorry dear. I'm sure my small mind is so limited to anything that ends with theists that I never knew there exist another group outside of it. I'll appreciate it if you school me more on it so I won't make that mistake again. But so far, to me, personally, you're the best commenter here. Thumbs up bro. |

 The first page of this thread is a comic relief. But seriously, OP, if she's a devoted Christian just forget it. There are some that are lukewarm and there are some that are very hot. If it's the hot one just stay away, except you're ready to be refined or burnt by that fire. It depends on your motive behind playing with the fire, that will either refine you or burn you. Anas09, I sight you. Happy Sunday everyone. |
