Do you have proof that you have in fact done that yourself?

Kobojunkie:
And you must be one of them religious nutcases since you seek to fit me into a religious folder amongst your kind!

😆😆😆 give your life to Christ.

Kobojunkie:
That is a rubbish story abeg! Your inner voice is not God. And no one possessed by the Spirit Paul spoke of would seek the counsel of any other man, even even if refers to himself as a pastor.

you must be a Jehovah witness.

pachigo001:
igbos not delta igbos

so you guys see them as equal now 😆😆

Ilamina:


I thought ovie was a delta name

Delta has 4 major ethnic groups namely; Uhrobo, Ijaw, Itsekiri and the delta Igbos. Ovie is an Uhrobo name. There's nothing like delta language. Delta does not have a particular language except pidgin.

Amen

Glory to God.

Kobojunkie:
Provided one lives in continuous submission and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ as stipulated by Jesus Christ Himself in John 8 vs 31 - 36, you are looking at approximately 4 years.

how did you arrive with such figure? 4 years? But the Samaritans in Acts 8 received the Holy Ghost almost immediately after salvation.

Happy Birthday To me!🎊🎂🎉
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all my iniquities; who healeth all my diseases;

Who redeemeth my life from destruction; who crowneth me with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth my mouth with good things; so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's.

10yrs now

ok, how did the Op go about it.

Hallelujah! Jesus the same yesterday the same today and the same forever. What a supernatural encounter.

RoyalDiadems:


The Bible is God's message to the world.

The individual speeches are not our focus. We focus on the message that makes it the Word of God.

so true

OkCornel:


So where demons spoke, it’s also the “word of God”

Where Satan spoke, it’s also the “word of God”

Interesting…

read with understanding.

RoyalDiadems:


Calling the Bible the word of God does not refer to individual Bible characters.

The Bible is the word of God because it's backed by the Spirit of God. Even where demons spoke, you learn something about God, His power, and they of God's enemy.

anyone who still argue with this submission is lost.

RoyalDiadems:


Correct!

No matter who's speaking, once the word is backed by the Spirit of God, it becomes the Word of God.

Any word spoken by anybody becomes Buhari's word if such word is backed by Buhari.

The Bible is the Word of God because it's backed by the Spirit of God.

very true

Kobojunkie:
■ Knowing God is different from believing a book written of the hands men in human language is the the Truth of God.

Knowing God is a whole parallel universe away from believing a book will save you. That is what Jesus Christ warned the Pharisees who thought it was in scripture that they could find the secret to eternal life.

Again, ask simple questions here of these ideas of yours..

▪︎ Did the Almighty Himself declare anywhere in scripture that your Bible infallible and of Him?.

▪︎Did God, in scripture decree, that His Truth to be your Bible and not Jesus Christ?

▪︎Did God command His very own Spirit of Truth to abide inside of your Bible to serve as a seal of what you call its infallibility?

you are an anti Christ.

MaxInDHouse:


The Bible is just like a letter God used people from a nation (Israel) to write it as His secretaries then sent it to all the nations through a group His only begotten Son established!

As for how to know about the existence of God people from all nations have agreed upon that due to the things they see and heard.
So unlike other nations that learned about God through sight and sound the Bible is to help you know more in details Sir!

God bless you for such an intelligent response

Kobojunkie:
All you have done here is serve up more of the same soundbites spewed by your pastors and mogs regarding their claim that the Bible is the word of God but nothing tangible evidence provided to prove their conclusion as being of God.

▪︎Ask yourself simple questions here. Did the Almighty Himself declare anywhere in scripture that your Bible infallible and of Him?.

▪︎Did God, in scripture decree, that His Truth to be your Bible and not Jesus Christ?

▪︎Did God command His very own Spirit of Truth to abide inside of your Bible to serve as a seal of what you call its infallibility?

---

The problem with soundbites Christianity , born of the doctrines of men , is it nothing but an attempt at using misdirection to tackle that which is of God. Those who cling to these doctrines and traditions of men come off even more ignorant of the Truth of God than they were from the beginning. You need to offload that junk if God is who you truly intend to know .

And how did you know about Jesus or salvation is it not through the bible?

You advised me to know God, how am I going to know him, is it not through his word the bible? If there's any other way lemme know.

THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD

Currently, there are some group of present day preachers who emphasize so much on the supernatural and believes they are being raised to correct some doctrinal errors in the body of Christ. Though Christianity itself is supernatural and believers are to live supernaturally, it's shouldn't be our main emphasis. Our emphasis is Jesus (the living word of God). We are to live and be guided by the word. John1:1, 5:39

Their new revelation is that the bible is not the word of God. Some even went as far as saying Paul and the Apostles made some errors. Their argument is that the number of times God speaks in the bible is just but a few.

Yes, that's true because God is not a talkative, he most times chose a willing vessel to speak through. And this was how most of the scriptures was written, Holy Ghost breathed/inspired.

2Tim.3.16 - All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Pet.1.20 - Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pet.1.21 - For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Rom.2.16 - In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. ( Or letter)

Isa.34.16 - Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

Rom.2.16 - In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. ( Or letter)

Josh.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.

Ps.1.2 - But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. [/b]

So this new teaching of the bible is not the word of God is a fallacy.

Hespee93:


Bro, this is the most painful part, many were even saying that hr should have left with his colleagues when his IT ended, but I understand his reason why he choses to stay and work.

so sad. May his gentle soul Rest in peace

Hespee93:
Let me clear air on this matter as I can see error in this report.

As claim by student unio that Matrix Energy is trying to cover up the casualties.

The incident occoured on the 8th of July which started at 19:30hrs, mean while the staff and IT's that are within the depot ran towatds the jety to avoid the gas explosion from the loading truck hitting them because most people thought that the fire would would touch the two main gas storage tanks.

Many jumped into the river while some other ran far away from the depot on land.

As the time of press release on 9th Sartuday, no causalties was recorded as nobody was announced missing or dead. Even the truck driver that had injury during escape was declare okay and healthy.

It was Sunday morning that the security that do stay at the jety discover that something was floating on the river, he quickly raised the alerm anf the appriopraite personnel move down their.

3 bodies were recovered which include 1 IT and 2 staffs, among the staff was a formal IT who seek to stay and work after his completion of his IT December last year. The second staff was employed month ago.

The 3 of them drown as they were unable to swim when they jump into the lagoon and it was already dark, so nobody noticed or saw them, even the community boys were around with their speed boats and they helped to rescue thosethey saw in the lagoon to get out of the water.

I'm also currently doing my IT programme at MAtrix Energy, I left Warri for Sallahthe day the incident happend.

Please try to read through, cos I'm on able to correct errors.

Sunny was the only son of a single mother. He was young, quiet and peaceful. I only see him when he is on vacation. He stays close to where i work. When i saw the heading, i hoped it shouldn't involve anyone i know because i have some of my boys and acquitances there. Oh what a loss.

Mikee19:


I was agreeing with you

OK.

dayveed1:
Please how do one overcome the power of the flesh?

by prayer and the word

Aniluvreal:
So I am faced with this problem of feeling sleepy anytime I picked up the bible to read, whether it's the hardcopy or the downloaded ones in my phone, I feel sleepy when i want to read it. But I can read other voluminous books/materials from cover to cover without blinking my eyes talkless of sleeping.

I am so disturbed about this, I need help please.

well, it's simple. Start reading your bible whenever you wake up in the morning because at that time your most alart and you will barely fall asleep.

Mikee19:


Amen! You already have the Holy Spirit within you anyways when you get saved, so why would he hesitate to fill you in the baptism of the Spirit too?

that's what I just answered. I doubt you read through the whole write up. He doesn't hesitate, he can even fill you now if you want him to.

From the question you asked, I perceive your from a denomination that believes one has to be born again for a while and fully sanctified, before they can receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit.

Mind you, when a man gets born again, he receives the Person of the Holy Spirit or the indwelling presence in his spirit. (Roms 8:9,11,16)

When a man is filled with the Holy Spirit, he receives the power of the Holy Spirit for service. Acts 1:8

Now this empowerment or infilling is a continuous thing. You can and should get filled continuously till you get to overflowing. Then the Holy Spirit will flow through you to others. This is your responsibility. Acts 4:8,31. Eph 5:18-20

Now to your question, HOW LONG SHOULD ONE WAIT?
Well one thing you have to do is search the scripture whenever you're taught anything from anyone including an Angel or the Lord if he appears to you because he always speak in accordance with his word. If it's not in line with the word, then you have to question the source.

IMMEDIATELY ONE IS BORN AGAIN HE CAN RECEIVE THE INFILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
He doesnt have to go through any process, he need not beg or cry because just like salvation, the Holy Spirit is a free gift. As a matter of fact the infilling is one of the riches of salvation.

Take a look at Cornelius household. Acts 10 they received the same day they believed.

Look at the Samaritans they received immediately they got born again Acts 8. now some of these people practiced magic, they had unclean spirits, but they received the Holy Spirit immediately the believed.

And lastly in Acts 19 Paul met some of John's followers and asked them if they have received or have been filled with the Holy Spirit but they were amazed, having never heard of any Holy Spirit. But after praying they received.

You don't have to wait, or cry to receive. It is yours. Now for you to be filled, get some one who is filled already with the evidence of speaking in tongues to lay hand's on you or you can just ask in faith believing, and you will receive.

Hallelujah.

Dtruthspeaker:


So, you did not see that Saul lost his goodly spirit and became a murderous beast?

Or is it Samson?

Or David, who lost all his glory when he cheated on Micah his wife and got into troubles and destruction hence the Psalms of cries and pleas and confessions?

Which is why he even clearly warns in Proverbs about 3 or 4 times from chapters 5 to 9 and chapter 31;3 flee from women!

Men who sleep with women never obtain the Glory of God and nor enter into His Way of Life.

Check out all the people honoured by God, they stuck to their one wife. Even Abraham corrected his error and I am certain Jacob later saw that it was Leah that was his True female as proven by her blessings.

according to your analysis Solomon should be burning in hell abi?

Praise God

Praise God

Hallelujah
