Very true. Most people won't agree with you because the truth is bitter. Nice work! |
iAmCharis:. Ban things. ![]() Hi everyone I noticed its been quiet here. Sorry, iva been away. Hope all is well? |
A very good morning to all! Where dis Agapecharis sef?? |
standd:Standd, I was expecting this. Apparently, you misunderstood my post. I meant I wasn't as.s kissing and not that he wasn't. And I read your post. Yes, I did. But I don't agree with you totally. Every society has its share of good and bad. I know that females are abused, but same goes for males! The fact that you generalized got me pained. My dad is a man! And he's the best of the kind!! Not all men abuse and not all men keep silent. And like I said males get abused too. But the society expects a man to be strong, and coming out to say they've been abused, especially by women makes them look like weaklings so it becomes a secret they take to the grave. There's no need to be angry here. You did a good thing but did it wrong. I was actually avoiding this thread because I noticed it was becoming heated.... And I don't like arguments. ![]() I'm of the opinion that both genders should work towards making the world a better place. And I'm not apportioning blames except to those who have been caught in the act, I.e those who are guilty. Hating doesn't and will never solve this issue. Thank you! And happy Sunday too! |
HFOG:Thank you! And bless you too! |
Nihilist:I like it that you're resolute. Even when you're swimming against the current. I like you. No as.s kissing. V. Good! But I think you should let it go sha. ![]() |
Specialist900:We getting better. By His grace. |
starlingslimnet:And you're perfect?? No. The church has erred in what way now?? Tithe-related issues?? What are you doing about the mistakes of the church? Are you helping to reconcile them to God? Or are you making it worse by apportioning blames and spreading the wrong doings?? Like HFOG said, God's ways are not our ways, neither are His thoughts like ours. "Let him that thinks he stands take heed; lest he fall". starlingslimnet:[font=serif] What?? You mean you know what tithes should be used for?? See me see blessing!! ![]() ![]() Seriously? My dear, has it occurred to you that you're trying to play God?? In Leviticus, the priests, Levites, we are made to know didn't work. But of course, the ate. What did they eat?? Manna? They even ate some of the offerings! As they were directed. Now, there was a special bread, just for the priests. Where did it come from You need to change this mindset please. OK. Some pastors have become greedy. But swidy, are to judge? It isn't our place to! God is more than able to repay every man according as his work is. You're trying to understand God's ways?? Sorry but I gotta tell you you'll fail. Geez! Minus even church issue sef, with this attitude, you'll have problems. You want to know what all your money us used for?? There's bound to be frictions. Because I personally, were I your wife, can't account for all what the money is used for. Not that I can't, but I won't! Imagine you give me money monthly for upkeep, and then decide what I should buy with it. Wrong! Or decide what hairstyle I should make just because you're paying for it. So wrong! You're trying to control everything dear. Let it go. Do your part. |
Specialist900: Patience..... ![]() Been good. You?? |
JoeCutie:Na network ish na. |
JoeCutie: Trying to. |
Mizmycoli!! No. No. No. I didn't mention others too. I hoped the Spirit would direct them. And they are here. Pardon me Bikonu. You're welcome! Although I know your stand, I believe you'll put two and two together and get four as the result someday. ![]() ![]() Starlingslimnet, our God is not a man. He sees in secret. He knows our thoughts. A man judges from the his sight and hearing but God judges from the heart. So you've paid your tithe. You've done your part. Cheerfully. Why not leave human reasoning and watch God do the rest? You feel the tithe isn't used for the right purposes? Its not your business! You feel the pastorate uses it?? What do you think? That God needs your money? No! He's the Giver! He wants to bless you. God will not come down and take your tithes. He will direct others on how to use it. If they chose to do it wrong, its their case. Not yours..... OK. Let's see this. I personally hate it when someone gives me something and goes about saying he did. And even checking every now and then to see what I'm doing with it. It irritates. And I'm human. Can you tell the All-knowing, All-seeing God how you want your tithe to be used?? What am I saying?? Believe me, financial prosperity doesn't answer to prayer and fasting. Giving is the key! And look at the all-around blessings in Malachi 3:10-12! I don't care what my tithe is used for. Me? I can't rob God! Whoever feels he can is free..... BTW, most pastors pay their tithes. Mine does. |
JoeCutie:. Perfectly okay sir! |
Alezy:As much as I'd love to stay away from this very topic„ I needed to say this: Tithing has become quite a topic of debate in church today. Your tithing should be done in a living church. Not just that, but one through which you're being fed spiritually. Tithing is a covenant. And we know our God is a covenant- keeping God. Malachi 3:10 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. 11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. 12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts. Its a covenant platform for prosperity. I'm trying to be faithful with my tithes. And I know how "blessed" I am when I do. This is a different kind of giving entirely. You said Abraham paid tithe under grace and not the law. Are we not in the era of grace?? Whether the church makes it seem bad or not, it is our place to know the truth and walk in it. Tell me this: Does the fact the planes crash stop people from flying?? No. They still do and get to their destinations. Same thing goes here. The fact that "some" people teach wrongly on this issue shouldn't stop you from paying your tithes and receiving your blessings! |
starlingslimnet:Welcome sir! Good to have you here. Dearpreye, I'm thinking of a better title. Help needed please. |
Specialist900:Close?? How's that possible?? Ministry has moved to permanent site sef you dey talk close..... Clean mouth a beg! Your package will arrive shortly. Do bear with us for the delay ![]() ![]() Good morning! |
JoeCutie:You are wicked! And they were worse!! I have these red rashes on my neck and arms. But its okay. You talked about nothing joor. The main thing?? Relationship? Everyone's saying it. You keep it out. But its commendable sha (If you are single, that is).Good morning |
MizMyColi:I'm good. Been a while. How's your side? Top of the morning to you! |
But how can you know what God says when you don't spend sufficient time reading and meditating on His Word?I'd like to speak on the power of Word study and meditation today.... Ma HFOG has said it all. But while reading Joyce Meyer's Battlefield Of The Mind, I realised the power of thoughts cannot be over emphasized. Our thoughts are us. They are powerful. They become words and actions. And having negative thoughts means you are negative in person. Bad thoughts produce bad attitudes. There's no two ways about it. But the Bible helps us in this. God has given us a way out. Joshua 1:8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. When most Christians hear of meditation, they become wary due to the meditation practices of pagan and occult religions. We must therefore be wise enough to realise that if meditation produces such power for evil, there's no end to the power it can produce for the cause of good. . Psalms 1:2-3 speaks also of the godly man. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. There is no end to what God can show us out of one verse of Scripture. The Bible is one dynamic book! I've studied a certain verse one time and got one thing, another time see something new that I did not even notice before. God keeps revealing His secrets to those who are diligent about the Word. Most times, we want to live off of someone else's revelation. Study the word yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to bless your life with truth. Meditation on God's Word is one of the most important things we can learn to do. All day long, as you go about your daily affairs, ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of certain Scriptures so you van meditate on them. The more you meditate on God's Word, the more you will be able to readily draw upon its strength in times of trouble. "The entrance of His gives light and gives understanding to the simple". What's more?? It takes away negative thoughts and keep us God-minded! I know this. Many times I've found myself in a place where I'm about to say or do something ungodly. And suddenly a scripture enters into my mind and I'm reminded it is wrong. We have the mind of Christ - 1Corinthians 2:16. So if Christ wouldn't think it, we shouldn't! Memory verse: Philippians 4:8 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." By this continual "watching" our thoughts, we begin yo bring every thought captive unto the obedience of Jesus Christ - 2Corinthians 10:5 Peace! |
