Evidence1000: My name is David. I'm a 24 year old young man. I'm in my final year in one of the universities in the south west. I'm addicted to gambling. Like, I can't just help it.
The craze for this thing started sometime last year. It has eaten deep into me that it now dictates my mood. The only time I can be genuinely happy is when I win money from bet9ja virtual. If I should loose, it makes me very sad to the extent that I see myself as a useless person.
I've gone to the extent of using my school fees to play virtual and that of my course mate that trusted me so much. Though, I was able to pay my course mate's fees without her knowing the truth, I'm unable to pay mine till now. I always have this mentality that I will win.
Whenever money enters my hand like this, no matter how little, it is to head straight to Bet9ja shop or online. The urge is usually very strong. Sometimes, it seems like there's a force pushing me to do it. Before this lock down, I accumulated a debt of over a hundred thousand naira in a Bet9ja shop in my school environment which I'm unable to pay till now. I know the owner of the shop would be waiting to pick me up with police when I resume. I don't know what to do.
I need help badly. I've prayed to God severally but it's as if nothing is happening. I've even promised God not to play Bet9ja again but I keep on seeing myself still playing it.
Right now as I'm typing this, I just came from a Bet9ja shop where I lost money. Money that is not even my own. Sometimes, I feel like taking my life so that everything will just end but if I remember the pain it would cause my mother, I'll just hold back.
Please for the people that were once addicted to gambling, how did you stop it? Is there any remedy for it because I'm in need of it badly?
I can't sleep at night anymore because I'm always thinking of debts that I've accumulated which has run into over 300,000. All thanks to Bet9ja virtual.
Someone advised me to get a job that would keep me busy so that I won't have time to play virtual but there are no jobs. I don't mind doing any, even if it is a menial job till school resumes.
Please I need your advice. Feel free to bash me because I deserve more than that even.
Please I'd appreciate if you can move this to front page.
PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP! I CAN HELP YOU ! SEND A PM. I JUST SENT ONE TO YOU.
eagleonearth: I smell kpanla fish. That's a very suspicious act. She is likely to lose a sizeable number of customers henceforth.
Meanwhile I need any human right activist in Lagos to attend to the case of this small girl at Lawanson area of Lagos suffering from abuse by her madam. Look at her face with blood patch. When I confronted the woman, she dared me to report her anywhere. I won't rest till this little girl gets justice.
take it to twitter. Tag @segalink. It would be taken care of asap
TheNoble007: God will continue to expose the enemy and set the captives free. Many people, have been in the prison for long. Some from childhood. But setting the captives free has to do with the alignment of the spirit man of the captive with the desire to be set free. Otherwise, true freedom will not occur. There were lots of demon possessed in the land of Israel. But the Lord Jesus Christ didn't cast all out. He only did to those whose spirit man have been aligned towards freedom. ( they brought the demon possessed individuals to Him. This was an alignment from the demon possessed individuals who allowed themselves to be taken to Him). Every demon possessed person still has a will... A will to be set free, to meet the Lord.
Discussing the names and hierarchy of demons is not important as discussing the secrets in acquiring God's power which is in the place of constant prayer and a life of holiness and righteousness. It is not enough to be a prayer warrior. You can be a prayer machine, but a powerless machine. The language of the spiritual realm is POWER. God is all powerful because He is holy.
If discussing about hierarchy of demons is the primary purpose, then there will be division among us.. The enemy will be so pleased with this. Demons hate themselves so much but what keeps them united is their fight against the Church. The church is the primary target. Unfortunately, Christians are not aware. It is very dangerous to be demon influenced than demon possessed. This is because a demon Influenced person can think that he/she is doing the right thing even doing God's work. The biblical Pharisees were demon influenced and they actually crucified the Messiah. They knew the Book of the Lord, but missed the Lord of the Book. This is the spirit of Religion.
For children of God, demons are too small to be studied on... They are too small... Not even the host of God angels are to be given much attention how much more these ungodly beings.. Rather we can make an expose of the works of the enemy and how they adulterate the church and kill our fire. We can build one another by exposing the works of these entities in the church rather than their names.. They are crafty and deceptive. They even deceive their ardent followers( human agents). So no one should speak as an authority on these demonic beings in knowing truth about them, save the Holyspirit. When a building is on fire, one thing the enemy uses is called fire extinguisher. That you are on fire, does not mean that you cannot be quenched if you are not watchful. What is that fire extinguisher that the enemy wants to use against you? The Lord Jesus admonishes us to watch and pray. Why watch first?. You can't be a true warrior if you don't know the camp of the enemy over your life. It is after watching that you can now direct your spiritual missiles( prayers) appropriately. There is no missile as strong as the spiritual missile of Holiness. This is not the missile of miracle, breakthroughs, financial blessing and so on. But the missile of holiness living. When you can fast and pray, not telling God of anything else, except that you want to please Him all through your life... This spiritual missile terrifies the enemy. Satan and demons will be so displeased seeing you growing in God. This missile is more than an atomic bomb in the camp of the enemy... This missile also brightens your spiritual eyes and keeps you alert. This was the missile that Apostle Paul used so often- "That I may know Him and the Power of His resurrection". The more we know the Lord God, the more we live in holiness. This was the secret of Paul. No wonder Paul's name was even on the lips of demons...
Every true child of God has a mark on his/her forehead. I knew this in a personal revelation about 4 years ago. This mark is a written word- THE LOVE OF GOD. This is what demons and demonic agents see when they look at a true child of God. As far as you carry that mark, not only are you untouchable, rather demons stay away from you, because they don't want trouble with the most high God. Even if they want to attack, they throw stones( trials) from afar. And these stones they throw, will only be at the permission of God. God will allow these stones to come at you to keep on refining you for His glory. But carrying the mark/seal of God does not mean you can't lose it. You will loose it when you begin to live in sin. This then give the demons audacity to come closer. You've become vulnerable because they've been watching . In fact demons believe that as far as a righteous man lives on this earth, he will fall, and they are always at watch to see him fall. The only time they give up on the soul of a righteous man, is when he goes home to meet the Lord Jesus in the garment of purity. They can now shake their head that they've lost the battle.. I knew this by personal revelation. If we know this, and can see the camp of the enemy laying in wait for a true child of God, over 90% of our missiles( prayer) will be the missile of holiness. Our Lord Jesus said- seek ye the Kingdom of God in righteousness and others shall be added.
Shallom...
God bless. Another good exposition. You were right when you said ""You can't be a true warrior if you don't know the camp of the enemy over your life""". ...Watch and pray
That's why I know God used the OP to start this thread for this purpose. God establishes different things for different purposes. That's why you have different ministries catered to different purposes at the core or children of God with different gifts.
For example, It was on this thread that someone told me he gained insight into the spiritual implications of Masturbation (something I was into before God delivered me) and when I checked the expositions by OP and others, it was too exact that I wondered if they were in the spirit world lol. From there people are delivered, People target their holy walk accordingly. Before such expositions by CharlyG1 or others, someone might just wallow in his masturbation without deeper insights into the dangers and without direction or motivation to tackle the spiritual implications according to God's word. So I thank all the contributors on this thread for all the Godly expositions and admonishments.
God bless you all. The agents of darkness would not spoil the good work God has started here and in people's lives. Amen
Crispels: This is still below 2m dollars. Not too much.
what are you saying?? The CEOs of the top american companies sef don't earn up to 1million. Google's CEO ears about 700k dollars per year. Not too much? IF i konk your head lol. It's standard
enthronedbyGod1: The spirit of Jezebel has been in existence even before the rise of Jezebel the wife of Ahab. It was this spirit that manifested itself in Korah, Dathan and Abiram. As at the time revival fire came upon the church in the early 1900's , there was a lot of commotion in the kingdom of darkness, the entire witchcraft kingdom from all plains had an emergency meeting.
The spirits in the rank of Powers( headed by a Denon with coven name Moloch - it has claws and jet flame eyes) were given the assignment to bring down the church. They tried all they could and failed woefully.
After their failure another meeting was held and the mission was withdrawn from them. It was then handed over to the higher ranking spirits which were known as the rulers of darkness of this world of which majority of them are located in the marine witchcraft world
Mehn, is it not this same Moloch that rumors broke out of some high ranking people in hollywood and politics in the US do sacrifice children to? There's one gathering they call Bohemian Grove. Also, out of that Hillary clinton leaked emails, there was one of the email she got from someone where they mentioned moloch. But people ignored it to be a word play. God help us. I can't wait for Jesus to come back. This world is wicked. Some people have sold their souls especially those in power.
@enthronedbyGod1, is God giving these people their time to operate now? although he says in his word that the end of the wicked is sure. Cos i am sure his wrath would be builidng against these people and their human agents and worshipers greatly. @CharlyG1, you can also help chip in. Because it pains me that this wickedness is increasing in the world now. People trafficking children and sacrificing them - This is true, check out Pizzagate, Marina Abramovic (the satanist linked with Billgates), and the leaked hilary clinton mails where they mentioned spirit cooking and moloch
God bless you both @enthronedbyGod1 and @CharlyG1 for these expositions.
I am happy my life is hid in christ Jesus. It's truly God's grace that we are on his side. Bless
Also @CharlyG1, pls don't forget that mail you said you would reply by yesternight. I understand you are very busy though so i would wait. Thanks
JourneytoEL: because it can open the doorway for demons especially familiar spirits. They will tell you they are the Holy Spirit and you can believe them because you will think you have an anointing. If you must meditate, do so after intense praying and studying the Word.
Exactly!! You are very correct. The new-age spiritualist do meditations a lot as a portal for communication with their spirits (demons).
Please watch this teaching/testimony from a former deep new-age spiritualist who had an encounter and accepted Jesus into his life, on why new-age meditation is bad.
Elyonisable: Dear brother, out of respect for God and His work here kindly be careful who you respond to on this thread lest you partake in the trolling and derailing activity.
God bless.
Thank you. Good advice. I would desist from now on. Silence is wiser for them. Charles and others, just continue on with the work God started here. We would ignore them from now on
duncoles: Hi Charles and all, we watched the drama developed between you and Dencotext.... He raised a valid point that you and co should not be insulting others. Although he was against your believes, which he said is not scriptural, you ended up insulting him as a person... it does not also portray you in good image when you do such things... and I hope you learned a lesson from this fallout.
I don't think Charles or others said any insultive words to him.Nothing of such. Infact Charles hardly engaged him.
As for me, All i did was call out the traits he was clearly exhibiting not insults. No one is against doctrinal discussions here. And I thank God he exposed himself as i discerned way back by lying and putting out false threats.
Yes you are right. I'm leaving now. The stench and foolishness is unbearable for me. Matthew 7:6.
@Rozz, to add finally, Apologetics is usually harder to atheists because of their objective moral block. Although I have found a way around some but because only the father can draw a man to christ through his holyspirit, it still dependent on the freedom of their moral block of objectivity which makes them defy God. Apologetics to Muslims is the next difficult from experience and experience of scholarly apologists , like William Lain Craig, Ravi Zacharias etc because of divergence from the abrahamic roots to a route against the core principles of salvation.
The rest are a bit easier cos of the backing of scriptures and the human foundations of their cults (Mormons/JWs) or existential spiritualism (Buddishts)
Rozz: next time be more equipped before you engage a jw
Be more equipped. Lol. They are easily debatable. So easy. But I know when to avoid scriptural rebellion. See Matthew 7:6. I have experienced it a lot in my apologetics against atheists, muslims, buddhists, cults of mormons and JWs.
Maximus69: I told you earlier that they're all rumour bearers with nothing to say on the topic!
Jesus sent his followers out to preach and teach people all the things having to do with salvation {Matthew 28:19-20} but misinformed churchgoers are saying the holy spirit should do the teaching, yet they're here and there arguing profusely everyday!
Haba why not practice what they say? If it's the holy spirit that will do the teaching and they agree that it's not compulsory they have the same line of thought, then why arguing on issues having to do with salvation?
Well he has ran away now, thanks to you and Tatime for allowing my friend to go without telling us the name of his own Church or what his church taught him about TRINITY!
Delusion at its highest. So pitiful. My intuitions would be confirmed if truly you are JW. Bye
Rozz: lol, I have said so many things ooo, maybe I did say that
Wow, you can't even accept the most fundamental truth of the scriptures. Well, if you still believe that despite them being open to the knowledge of christ sacrifice they are not damned. Then I believe you have a long way to go. You are going against Jesus's teaching, against his admonition, against the inspired words of the apostle and against the infallible word of God.
Bye, don't' think I can remain on this thread..clouded with a stench of scriptural rebellion
Rozz: yes I am the one and the topic was "my pastor said even some non Christians will make heaven "
Yes that's according to Romans 1 on the inexusable inherent conscience of man exposed to the true knowledge of God in Jesus even if they are not christians in the cultural sense
That's not what i'm saying. I remember you somewhere saying muslims who reject christ sacrifice and only path would still make heaven. Correct me if i'm wrong?
Maximus69: The point here is clear Sir. Rozz (OP) is just hearing for the first time that some Churches don't believe in the TRINITY but she's moved with the way JWs have defended their beliefs with the scriptures. Someone said "it's not only JWs that refute the TRINITY" So that's why it becomes necessary for anyone coming to introduce himself, his church and go straight to what his church teaches about the TRINITY!
I believe what my bible teaches about trinity. Since I got saved supernaturally, I search the scriptures myself and not affiliated with any church. So that has no bearing on my point. I'm pointing out truth not concerned about any church preamble
Rozz: I'm still wondering why people hide the church they attend,is it such a big deal?
I wanted to stop commenting as i see the immersion of falsehood in a bandwagon setting. No wonder.
But why do you need to know the church I attend. I search the scriptures myself through the holy spirit to know the truth.
Also answer me before i leave this bandwagon, Aren't you the same person on another thread (can't remember) that said those who don't believe in jesus as the only way to the father are not damned ?
So you didn't even allow him finish dancing round the topic before saying what is expected of him!
Abeg is it what exjws are saying that we're asking on the thread or what TRINITY means?
Can any of those who left Christ Jesus say anything good about him?
Why is it that it's only those who left JW group that gathered to form an Organization (exjw group)?
Is it that people don't disassociate with other groups?
A thousand may fall by my right, ten thousand on my left, but nothing will shake my feet in the midst of God's people! Psalms 91:7&8; John 6:66-69
Are you JW too? Seems I just stumbled on a bandwagon thread of a false church. Sorry. And mind you the organizatoin is to mentor those leaving the cult and it's not a church itself. Most people are abused or traumatized in the cult of JWs or Mormons so they set up an organization to that effect since they were once in that shoe.
Stop quoting bible passages uselessly. I didn't know this thread was for JWs. Bye. May your eyes be open to the cult you are in very soon. Amen
Can you please tell the forum the name of your church and what your church teaches about TRINITY?
I see there's a bandwagon here.
Are you JW? I believe what my bible teaches me not what any church does.
Isn't it this same OP, I cant remember that said somewhere that those who don't believe in Jesus as the only way are still okay? Correct me if i'm wrong.
In addition to my post above, Here's a website : https://www.4witness.org/ . There are others. The founders and members were ex-JW and they mentor/help others who leave the cult of JWs and Mormons. They help ex-Mormons too - another false church.
Here's the a good YT of a lady who also left the cult , Go through the videos on this channels well to see clearly all their blasphemous doctrines and shredding of their arguments:
I haven't read the start of this thread. But JWs are heretical. I pity anyone who is attentive to their blasphemous doctrines. I have extensive points on this. Infact, I advice those JWs to attend the organization of JW denouncers - that is those who left the cult. There's an organization catered to those JWs whose eyes were opened to the cult they were in and left. Can't remember the website now. JWs even demonically twist scriptures to create their own. I fear for their followers .
If you want to talk on the trinity - ask any questions you want to know and it'd be answered. If you read your scriptures though, it shouldn't be a problem to a holy spirit filled christian at all.
CharlyG1: Lol Let's just ignore him. There are other important things besides this.
I believe the mods will see this and investigate.
The Mods have acted. They've deleted his comments and fake threats along with my mentions of it.
Thank you Mods. The way God made him expose himself was too embarrassing. For those who missed it, the Dencontext guy was putting out unintelligent fake threats with different monikers he created today and was lying that he was an investigator and nairaland admin and threatened to track people. So unfortunate.
dvine2020: Wowwwww that's great. No wonder u sound pompous. 'I blame it on witchcraft' because u never read where I said God told me. You are Even teaching me to tithe. I feel like am talking to a baby Christian. In these last days God is raising up Elijah-like sons for decimation of the kingdom of darkness. Who like Elijah would not hesitate to exact vengeance with thier swords for Gods children and free the captives of the mighty. They will not have misplaced priority of saving the enemies head like King Saul. 2 Thessalonian 1:6 "seeing that it is righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble u. " God bless u @Charlyg1. Your ministry here has been of great help to me.
