Mean! I need to gather my Holy Ghost squad for a mission to this place. |
Marriage is for a purpose. Your purposeful partner will hit your spirit through God when you see him or her. Mind you, we all have our diverse gift in the body of Christ which the Spirit can open or quicken our eyes of understanding to the scripture. 1Cor. 12 will do a lot of help here. And it is one with the gift of the Spirit that bears fruits. For the gift is like a branch that bears forth fruits. So beloved, your question is like asking, between mango tree branch(gift) and mango(fruit) which would you Love. |
Parable: an earthly story with heavenly meaning. The verse explains that judgement will be based on the ministry or talent or gift which God has impressed in you before you were born for His kingdom purpose. So in the context of that verse God, the King shall send them to where Satan and the children of disobedience will be. Let me stop here. |
THE SCHOOL CALLED MARRIAGE Marriage is the only school where you get the Certificate before you start. It's also a school where you will never graduate. It's a school without a break or a free period. It's a school where no one is allowed to drop out. It's a school you will have to attend every day of your life. It's a school where there is no sick leave or holidays. It's a school founded by God: 1.On the foundation of love. 2.The walls are made of trust. 3.The door is made of acceptance. 4.The windows are made of understanding. 5.The furniture is made of blessings. 6.The roof ia made of faith. Be reminded that you are just a student not the principal. God is the only Principal. Even in times of storms, don't be unwise and run outside. Keep in mind that, this school is the safest place to be. Never go to sleep before completing your assignments for the day. Never forget the C-word...Communicate. Communicate to your classmate and to the Principal; moreover communicate regularly and intimately with them. If you find out something in your classmate (spouse) that you do not appreciate, remember your classmate is also just a student, not a graduate; God has not finished with him/her yet. So take it as a challenge and work on it together. Do not forget to study the Holy Book (the main textbook of this school). Start each day with a sacred assembly and end it the same way. Sometimes you will feel like not attending classes, yet you have to. When tempted to quit, find courage and continue. Some tests and exams may be tough but remember the Principal knows how much you can bear and yet it's a school better than any other. It's one of the best schools on earth; joy, peace and happiness accompany each lesson of the day. Different subjects are offered in this school, yet love is the major subject. After all the years of theorising about it, now you have a chance to practise it. To be loved is a good thing, but to love is the greatest privilege of them all. Marriage is a place of love, so love your spouse. More grace from God. Send this to all your married friends to encourage them, and to your unmarried friends to counsel and educate them. |

THE NIV WAHALA! I have had to address privately questions bordering on the NIV and the name of Jesus. Some of the inquiries are through my inbox while others are direct. I didn't consider it worth troubling myself about but since the faith of many is being rattled I'm obligated to talk. FIRST, let me say that I've used NIV all my life and find it very good. I also find it worrisome that those calling it names demand that it be torn or burnt. NEXT, let me say that the Bible does not warn only against removals from but also additions to the Bible. Having said that, the critics have not proven to us that the KJV with which they judge the other versions is not an addition to the word of God. THIRD, the criticisms assume the KJV is the original bible. That is not so. The KJV like the NIV and other versions, is a translation from the original manuscripts which are in Hebrew, Greek and aramaic. To verify the accuracy of any version therefore will require comparison with the original manuscripts and not other versions. To do this one has to not only be versatile with the original languages but also the science of translation known as TEXTUAL CRITICISM. I happen to be introduced to elementary knowledge of textual criticism while doing a masters degree in theology at the evangel theological seminary Jos. I can tell you that I've not yet found any reason to rate the NIV anything less than the best scholarly work on translation of the bible. I know that ZONDERVAN is nothing but a printing press. It is not responsible for the translation of the Bible. It also has published many other sound Christian literature as well as many ungodly ones. NIV was a work done in 1964/65. From the claims of the critics Zondervan was bought over in 1998, 34yrs later. How can that nullify the accuracy of the NIV. AGAIN, I observed that all the "missing" texts are footnoted by the translators. FINALLY, I have been around for sometime in this race. This is not the first time it's coming. it wont be the last. I think that this is an attack on the Bible. The devil does not want the Bible in the people's language. He fought it at the beginning killing Tyndale and co for translating the bible from the vulgate (the Latin version by Jerome) to English. NIV employed the principle of dynamic equivalent in translation which simplifies the language without losing the force of the truth as in the paraphrases. The KJV is the product of literal translation and is limited to the Masoretic texts of the Bible. My take is own as versions as you can afford and use the one that best guarantees the understanding of the truths therein. This is not exhaustive but I hope it can give you peace in these perilous times. God bless you all and keep you blameless until his coming day. Bishop cnc |

Gombs:Maybe you've not come across the recent publications. RCCG uses more of KJV. I worship there. If really you are spiritually dogged, you will feel the difference in your spiritman when studying KJV & others. Studying KJV has helped to developed my spiritman more than the ten different versions of Bibles in my library. |
ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING NEWS! ALL MUST KNOW! If you own a New International Version (NIV) Did you know that it was written by Zondervan and they are OWNED by Harper Collins, who also publish the The Satanic Bible, and The Joy of Gay Sex. NIV has removed 64,575 words from the Bible including Jehovah, Calvary, Holy Ghost and omnipotent to name but a few... NIV has also removed 45 complete verses. Most of us have the Bible on our phones. Try and find these scriptures under NIV on your phone right now if you don't believe me: Matthew 17:21 - Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Matthew 18:11 - For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. Matthew 23:14 - Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Mark 7:16 - If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. Mark 9:44 - Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Mark 9:46 - Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Luke 17:36 - Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Luke 23:17 - (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) John 5:4 - For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. Acts 8:37 - And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God You will not believe your eyes. These verses are not in NIV bible!!! Let's not forget what the Word says in John 10:10 #KingJamesVersion Someone send it to me so I wish to share & read comments. cc: Ishilove, PastorOluT, Mprex |

Good one. |
Jesus can save |
OP, thank you very much for this. God so bless you. *Modified* Wow! Made FTC/FP. ok, very good. In His presence where i'm strong & belong, i speak as an Oracle of the LORD(In Whom i am & serve) to those men & brethen with passion & zeal for the LORD that you will find a purposeful partner for your reason of being on earth here. |
This' strange. Bn seeing a moniker(not a moniker though) "Nobody" with an ugly notification "I Am MaleGirl" at the end of his/her comments here on Nairaland. Who could that be? Just asking. |
God bless you; beloved Mprex for this invite. I'm honoured by grace. Hmmmm...beloved Op, sometimes ago i've suffered spiritual injuries & scares from doctrines taught by men..Whereby they hold the truth in unrighteousness & pour out fear...But I bless & thank the Lord for He has opened my eyes by grace through His Word led by the Holy Spirit. Beloved Op, sorry I have to say that your pastor depicted that which is written in Matt.23:23 if you set your bible without bias..It's good you pay your tithe(best done in secret)..And the act of giving (whether tithe,offering,seed sowing,e.t.c) is done out of love & faith not by anxiety & fear because it will yield nothing if done out of fear. There are weightier matters to focus on like soul winning not capitalizing on tithe paying. Lord Jesus Christ never came to abolish the law or the old testament but for fufillment. If you set your bible without bias you'll know that my Lord Jesus Christ was concealed in the old testament & revealed in the new testament. My own shekel..Bless you. Cc, PastorOluT |
movyyzz:Beloved, it will be expedient i oblige you to spend quality time with the scripture through the help of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord give you more grace. |
Op, prayer is as essential as the air you breath. How else will you communicate to/with God if not through prayer. Besides, prayer is one of the major acts of righteousness. They re as follows: -Prayer -Fast -Give (give or devote your time(quality time with God in the place of studying the Word), treasure & talent to the will,commandment or law of God & to His kingdom) My Lord Jesus did it & led the Way for me to follow. If you don't pray, you become a prey. Have u forgotten that verse that says "this cannot go out except by PRAYING & fasting"? That was what Jesus said to His apostles. I obtain power in the place of prayer. My encounters with demons, witches, occultists & marine spirits confirmed my prayer life. Op really needs a strong teaching class. |
kai...walai...i so love this. |
thorpido:bless you |
I've known him as a man of discipline. |
ok |
Shall comment later |
seen Wow! FTC.. Good omen.. Out of joke i dropped a commentary. Out of joke i became the FTC. Out of joke i made fp. ...a peaceful & successful May 28 i pray. Shoutout to Mprex, PastorOluT, Anambra11, Ishilove, Godprophet, God2man & to all those i'm following & follow-back crew. God bless Nairalanders. God bless Nairaland. God bless Nigeria. |

HAVE YOU COUNTED THE COST? Do you know what it cost God to send His only Son Jesus Christ to die a sinner’s death on a cross for the sin of the world? Do you know how much the Lord Jesus really suffered at Calvary? With confidence I can state that the suffering of the Lord is not what you are imagining. In fact, just last year, when I was coming from a revival program in Kwara state, my spiritual eyes were opened to behold the Lord’s agony at Cavalry. Words cannot express the shame, the torment, the agony, and the pain that the Lord bore. In fact, the crucifixion in the film “Passion of the Christ” is a cakewalk in comparison to the real thing. Yet, the Lord counted the costs of Calvary and willingly bore all of its sufferings just to offer you a free gift of salvation. But on the other hand, have you counted the cost? Have you thought about how much the Lord paid for you? In fact, do you even know why God the Father paid such a high price? If you don’t know, I’ll tell you. It is because God loves you and does not want you to perish (John 3:16 & 2 Peter 3:9). Therefore, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, so that you can choose Him and not perish, but have abundant life (John 10:10). But, if you have not made Jesus your Lord, I want you to think about the following questions. Who will be able to deliver you on the Judgment Day when you will stand to give an account of your works? Is it the same Jesus that you have made your enemy on earth by refusing to correct your evil ways? So since you have made the Lord your enemy, who is able to deliver you on that great Day of Judgment? Know that the Lord Jesus will not pity you on this day, but, as you have denied Him on earth, so will He deny you in Heaven (Luke 9:26). Therefore, I sincerely warn you not to play games with your Maker. But, I know some of you say, “I’m not playing, but I’m serious about the Lord”. But is this true? If you are really serious about the Lord then why do you rebel against His will? You continue to curse and fight people on Facebook. Yet, you say that you are “serious”? You continue to wear miniskirts and make up. Yet, you say that you are “serious”? You continue to listen to rap music and watch pornography. Yet, you say that you are “serious”? I tell you the truth, you are not serious, but are toying with your soul and playing games with your Maker. But, God isn’t playing with you. So do not mistake God’s patience for His approval, because God never approves sin. He is not blind or approving your sinful lifestyle, but He is being patient with you in hopes that you will repent. Do you dare to believe that God will overlook how you have trampled upon His Son sacrifice during your time on earth? Don’t fool yourself and damn your soul to an eternity of fire (Mark 8:36). He will not overlook your sin. I tell you, the Day of Judgement will be more terrible than you think, and what will your time on earth amount to if you are not permitted into the gate of Heaven, but are cast away? Has the devil darken your understanding so bad that you no longer think of these things (Eph. 4:18)? Do you not realize that you will not spend eternity here on earth? But, you are only on earth for a little while, and then you will die and live forever in eternity in either Heaven or Hell. An eternity in Heaven or Hell is the reality of all men, not a fictional story. In fact, when you slip into eternity, you may not even know it, just like when you sleep you do not remember laying down to sleep. Likewise, when men die, some think that they are dreaming, but from Heaven a voice shouts, “Know that this is not a dream. None of you are dreaming, but what you are seeing here is real. You have just passed away from earth, and now it is time to give an account for your works on earth. The Book of Life must be checked for your name, and whoever’s name is not written in the Book of Life shall be cast into the pit of Hell”. After this announcement, judgment will start, because after death, men face judgement (Hebs. 9:27). Nevertheless, at this time, some will begin to seriously doubt the situation and continue to believe that they are dreaming in saying, “No. This can’t be true. This is just a dream, because I just ate with my wife. In fact, while eating we made plans for tomorrow. How can I be dead? I wasn’t even sick. So this has to be a dream”. Then some will recall, “I ate with my husband earlier today and we dine together at the table. Then even laid down to sleep beside him. But now, I’m here. This can’t be real,” or it will be said, “I just came from the office and decided to take a little rest before returning. In fact, I brought documents from the office to check on. But now I’m supposed to believe that I have just died? This has to be a dream”. Many souls stand doubting while awaiting judgment, but when they are cast into Hell, the reality sets in. They are not dreaming. Their time on earth is up. They have died and went to Hell. Hell has no exits. They can never go back to earth. Now, what will you say on this day when you have to give an account of your works? Have you gone so far in sin that you no longer think of this day? Are you just wasting your life building mansions? Are you living to buy the latest Jeep? But, have not thought about the day when you take your final breath and where you will spend in eternity? Although you are spending your life to acquire earthly things, know that one day you will cross the bridge to another world where none of your possession will go with you. Not even your precious money. In fact, none of your fame, worldly success, or earthly authority will be able to help you when it’s your time to give an account. Instead, you will see that in your stubbornness you did not count the costs. However, Heaven has. The books will be open which records all the sins that have damned your soul. Then God will tell you, “Depart from Me”! Refusing to give your life to Christ is the worst harm that you can do to your soul. So please do not think of this message as just another story or a fear tacit, because it is not; an eternity in Heaven or Hell is a reality. So do not damn your soul for a moment of joy, do not damn your soul for a moment of pleasure and do not allow God’s patience to expire and meet death as a sinner. For if you die in as a sinner, you will surely shout from the pit of Hell, “If I had known then what I knew now, I would have repented and followed Christ”! Therefore, I urge you to avoid Hell and convert your ways by giving your life to the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:3). Converting it means that all of the alcohol in your house, all of your charms, all of the stolen property in your room, all of the malice and bitterness that is hidden in your heart, all of the property of Jezebel that you are fashioning yourself with, must be thrown away! These things all belong to the devil. If you do not throw them away, you will ultimately be thrown into a lake of fire with the devil. So convert by ridding yourself of the devil’s property. Likewise, if you are using your body as an instrument for sin by committing adultery, prostitution, fornication, masturbation, partaking in lesbianism and homosexuality ( including oral and anal sex), you must convert your ways by renouncing this sexual immorality, and turning from it to holiness. Understand that by committing sin, you are chained to the devil, and because you are chained to him, your heart will be harden towards the Lord Jesus’ invitation for salvation. When in fact salvation is what you need, because you are hanging over the pit of Hell and can fall at any moment. So again, I urge you to give your life to the Lord Jesus Christ by repenting from your sins. Repent means to turn away from sin. So turn away from lying. Turn away from reality TV shows and gossip. Turn away from bitterness. Turn away from sexual immorality. Turn away from whatever sin it is that you are committing. And in turning away from sin, you will be able to turn to the Lord Jesus and live holy. So renounce your sins with your mouth and confess the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, then as you move forward in life, let your heart confirm your renewed mind in choosing to avoid sin. Choose not to hang out with the same old friends. Choose to tell the truth even when it hurts. Choose to forgive even while still hurting. Choose to walk away from fights even though you may have a thousand reasons to fight. And in doing so you will have changed your mind, which changes your heart, that changes your character, which alters your behavior, thus your lifestyle. Then you will be saved and pleasing to God the Father. If you are ready to give your life to Christ, please pray this prayer of salvation aloud: Father, I come to you and ask You to forgive me of my sins in the name of Jesus. (Name all of the sins that you have not repented from, or confessed before, even those from childhood.) I ask that you wash me in the Blood of Jesus and make me clean. Right now, I am ready to become Your child. Please write my name in the Book of Life and give me power to sin no more. I believe and I receive that I am a child of God in the Mighty Name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

A preacher was driving home one night with his wife and two daughters in the car. It was raining and dark and because of the intensity of the rain he could hardly see past his headlights. On the way he had to drive over a huge bridge. There were signs posted all along the bridge that said "DO NOT PICK HITCH-HIKERS." There was an institute for the criminally insane near the base of the bridge and sometimes people would escape from it and try to hitch a ride. On this particular night, as he turned his car on to the bridge, he had to drive exceptionally slow because he could hardly see the road. Somewhere near the top of the bridge a man suddenly appeared in the headlights. He was soaked, standing in the middle of the road with his shirt off frantically waving it over his head and screaming. This preacher's wife began to say, "Oh please don't stop, try to drive around him!" But the man was unavoidable and there was nowhere for the car to go to miss him. So he had to stop the car and as soon as he did, the man slapped his hand down on the hood of the car and was screaming at the top of his lungs. The preacher looked over at his wife and said to lock the door after him and not to unlock it until he returned. His family was now crying and pleading with him not to get out of the car. He opened the door and stepped outside...He was immediately soaked from the rain. As he approached the front of the car to grab the man, all of a sudden he could make out what the man was screaming, "THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT! A BUS LOAD OF KIDS JUST WENT OVER!" As these words registered in the pastor's mind, he looked back in the car at his wife and two daughters. He wrapped his arm around the man and wept in gratitude. The preacher stood there with the man for the next half-hour in the middle of the road, waving his jacket above his head screaming."THE BRIDGE IS OUT! THE BRIDGE IS OUT!" For a lost and a dying world, "THE BRIDGE IS OUT!" For a people heading to a Christless Eternity,"THE BRIDGE IS OUT!" where are the men and the women who will stand in the middle of the road and forbid people to perish ? HELL HAS OPENED ITS MOUTH WIDE AND MANY ARE SPEEDING INTO IT Where are those who will stand in the gap, on the streets, the highways and the byways to forbid multitudes with the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST from going to such a horrible place ?

A young man working in the army was constantly humiliated because he believed in God. One day the captain wanted to humiliate him before the troops. He called the young man and said: – Young man come here, take the key and go and park the Jeep in front. the young man replied: – I cannot drive! The captain said: – Well then ask for assistance of your God! Show us that He exist! The young man takes the key and walked to the vehicle and begins to pray…… … He parks the jeep at the place PERFECTLY well as the captain wanted. The young man came out of the jeep and saw them all crying. They all said together: – We want to serve your God! The young soldier was astonished, and asked what was going on? The CAPTAIN crying opened the hood of the jeep by showing the young man that the car had no engine. Then the boy said: See? This is the God I serve, THE GOD OF IMPOSSIBLE, the God who gives life to what does not exist. You may think there are things still impossible BUT WITH GOD EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. To the person reading this, I pray the Lord work A SUPER MIRACLE in your life today In Jesus Name I Pray.. Write 'Amen' to claim this prayer . Cc, PastorOluT, Ishilove, Mprex |

paraphrases. The KJV is the product of literal translation and is limited to the Masoretic texts of the Bible.
