Vanceastro:
Thank you very much sir I am not getting what I want from my undergraduate programme. Would it not be better I grab this skills than graduate with a poor cgpa and no skill?

Sometimes, skill witout education = limitation.

I pray you make the best choice.

Vanceastro:
Good evening everyone.
Please I need your advice on this my matter.
My senior colleagues are organizing some engineering software training programme at very cheap prices. My school session is about to commence and I am running around looking for money to pay my school fees.
My problem is that this software training is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and the cost of the training is just slightly above my school fees.
My question is that if I somehow get money should I enrol into the programme and forfeit my schooling? OR, should I pay the school fees and forget this once in a lifetime opportunity?
Your kind response would be appreciated. Thank you

Why do you want to give up your education which is the foundation for your future for this. Though it is good but you need your education more.

Every opportunity is not for you, some are setup for pitfall. Here is what the bible have to say: 1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

I will suggest you face you education, another opportunity will present itself when the time come. So if you cannot afford both, face your education.

God bless you!

Hé has thé power to do as He wills but:

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

HE IS THE ALMIGHTY!!!

I dont like when a man of God says 'THERE MAY'. God is supreme and His Word is y es and amen.

You cant be giving prophesy and say may. God's word is final. Yes, God can décide to change a prophesy but thé reason will be barème for all to see - Ninevah comes to mind.

If toi truly have divine mandate, it shouldnt be prédiction but teality.

Dont seek recognition by saying things in thé name of thé Almighty when you have not been inspired to do so.

Deuteronomy 18:21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 18:22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.


FEAR GOD!

I think this explains it:

Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

From thé statement above, it is presumed that each of them presented Him a gift and three gifts was presented, therefore they are three WISE MEN.

John 5:41 I receive not honour from men.

Jeremiah 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace. 50:7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers

Philippians 3:17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 3:18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 3:19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)


Considering the above, what do you expect.

Dont Conderm Him, God Will Speak For Himself. Saul Persicute Christ Yet He's One Of Our Celebrate N Emulate Apostle, I Learnt Dat MKO Abiola Read Holy Bible From Genesis To Revelation. Thank God For This Man Cus He Challenge Our God, Soon Their Wil Be A Testimony Dat Jesus Lives. Praise D Lord Anoda Born Again On His Way. Am Glad Jesus Love Ds Man & Give Him Grace To Destroy Wat He Will Soon Love Most.

On Point! Happy to see this. Very very soon, nd it will be the hard way

That same young man will preach the gospel in no distant time. Devil is only seeking to destroy him but like Paul, the mercy of God Almighty will find him.

The basic is that the fall of man at Eden robbed him of his inheritance. Hence the need to reconnect to his Maker through Christ Jesus for recovery. To achieve this, you must be born again.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 3:10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 3:11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 10:8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 10:11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST IN TO YOUR LIFE TODAY AND EXPERIENCE PEACE.

Colossians 1:9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

Pray that God shld open his eyes and help get close to the bible. While at it, apply wisdom. If you genuinely desire that he changes, God will guide you. Now who you are comes to play here Matt. 7:3-4.

God bless you!

The Bible does not teach predestination. God has not chosen some people for eternal life and others for eternal damnation. He is a just, fair and impartial God. Yes, He knows the end from the beginning. That does not suggest predestination. NEVER! As a school teacher, though you may guess accurately those who will do well and those who may not (from their intelligence quotient and level of seriousness), as a Christian, you don't determine those who will pass and those who will fail otherwise you are a SINNER! It is the performance of the individual students that determine that. God is more righteous than any Christian teacher (or moralist). Stop misrepresenting Him. Please note: This thread is not for the teaching of predestination or any other falsehood. It is to appreciate God for His investment and wonderful works through His servant - pastor W F Kumuyi. Please create another thread for your falsehood. Thanks.

A shake my head at your delusion. Romans 4 comes to mind, please study it .... Kindly put on a liberal spirit. Thank you

Sinkills:
Please, there is nothing like predestination. "For God so loves the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). "He(or she) that believes and is baptized shall be saved but he (or she) that believes not shall be damned (Mark 16:16). The ball is in each person's court. BTW This thread is not for the propagation of the false doctrine of predestination or any other falsehood. It is about the ministry of the man of God of our time, a rare gift to our generation - pastor W F Kumuyi. You can create another thread for that. Thank you.

With due respect to your closing note, i submit thus - The question is "is it scriptural"? If it is, you have no right to call it false doctrine but seek to understand what it really implies. Ref: 1Cor. 12:3, Rom. 8:29-30, Jer. 1:4-5, Rom. 6, Jn. 10:26-29.

Thanks and stay blessed

An2elect2:
Amen dear. You do believe in the biblical predestination too?

Jn. 7:38. Bible is our standard. Let's break free frm d confines of churchism. Job 32:8

Plz differentiate frm followers of men nd followers of Christ so as to save urself of the stress. Most Christians follow church doctrines nd not the scripture or the leading of the Holy Spirit. In a nushell, religious people. So tlking to such pple is a waste of tym as they are not liberal to receive the truth. Matt. 13:11

Meanwhile ur standpoint hve given me some mre assurance

An2elect2:


You are hard-hearted and ignorantly resisting the holyspirit.

If only you know God's ways are not our ways. And His thoughts far above ours, you will ask God for His wisdom.

Dont be like the jews who read the scriptures in the synagogue every sabbath day but were blind still.

How can you deny a doctrine so clearly thought in scriptures?


Romans 8:29-30 tells us, “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.”

Ephesians 1:5 and 11 declare, “He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will…In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.”

How clearer can this be!

Predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his son! Open your bible and read it again

You are not alone though. Think about it everyone is naturally hostile to this doctrine. Some acknowledge it but despise God the more for it. Others like you, deny it completely.

[b] THE SCRIPTURES HAVE EXPRESSLY STATED THAT GOD CHOSE SOME MEN TO BE CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON. BE CALLED, JUSTIFIED AND GLORIFIED IN HIM.

Romans 9:11
11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls

Romans 11:5,6
5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

Ephesians 1:11
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

1 Thessalonians 1:4
For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,

2 Timothy 2:10
10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. [/color][/b] ETC

I know you think its unfair that God will choose some and not others. But what's fair? If God should allow men choose Him no man will be saved
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Romans 3:10-12

All men deserve to perish in the lake of fire. No one is better than the other. But God in His infinite mercy chose to pardon some. Its not God's fault that the rest perish..for they were already perishing.

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

You may want to ask "how about those men who seek God and are rejected because of predestination?"

About that also, the bible is very clear. WHICH IS, THAT GOD DOES NOT REJECT ANYONE WHO SEEKS OR BELIEVES ON CHRIST JESUS.

[b]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life John3:16

because, ]if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. Rom 10:9,10

But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. Deutronomy 4:29

In the mystery of God, predestination, being drawn by God and believing unto salvation all work hand-in-hand. THOSE WHO TRULY SEEK WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS AND MINDS ARE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DRAWN BY THE FATHER AND WERE PREDESTINED UNTO SALVATION COS THE NATURAL MAN DOES NOT SEEK GOD

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. John 6:44

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16

No wonder Romans 11:33 proclaims, “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!”
