Matt.24.44 - Therefore you also be READY, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you DO NOT "expect". (allowing death/in The Rapture) |
Fulaniherdmens:Okay then. |
Yima13:Brother, that's not the End, yours is still better than some: only that you can't tell. Only if you can: Mark 11:22 KJV And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Then see my previous post. Don't accept or yield to the lies of the devil: you're not alone in this. But you got to FIGHT by obeying Jesus (Matt. 5,6, & 7) May Jesus Bless You. |
Fulaniherdmens:That's nice friend, not to argue though, but the Koran cannot lead anyone to the real Jesus, but another jesus. Even the Bible will not lead us to Jesus IF we don't want to OBEY what it says, let alone the Koran. We must beware of other jesus(es) or gods believed to be for ALL religions: the ecumenical movement, etc. JESUS and his apostles didn't teach that. John.5.39 - You SEARCH the Scriptures, for in them you THINK you have Eternal life; and these are they which "testify" of Me. John.5.40 - But you are NOT willing to COME to Me that you may HAVE life. |
Yima13:Friend, Jesus is all you need not "necessarily" men. Matthew 11:28 KJV Come unto me, all ye that labour and are HEAVY laden, and I will give YOU REST. Matt.6.33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matt.6.34 - Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. May Jesus Bless You. |
paxonel:A bit of confusion or a misunderstanding with the titles or descriptions we use. The correctness of titles or terms are LESS important but one's FRUITS (proofs of being genuinely saved): are they Good or Bad. Right, you're "Born again": what are your fruits? Or You're from a strong "Christian Home": excellent, BUT what are your fruits? Matthew 7:16 KJV Ye shall KNOW them by their FRUITS. 2Tim.2.19 - ... "The Lord KNOWS those who are His," and, "Let Everyone who NAMES the Name of Christ DEPART from iniquity." May Jesus Bless You. |
2 Corinthians 4:3 KJV But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 2 Corinthians 3:6 KJV Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; NOT of the letter, but of the SPIRIT: for the letter Killeth, but the spirit Giveth LIFE. |
Matthew 24:24 KJV For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew GREAT Signs and Wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the VERY Elect. |
Rom.6.14 - For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. Rom.6.15 - What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Rom.6.16 - Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one's slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? |
Matthew 24:9 KJV Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. |
Matthew 24:25 KJV Behold, I have told you before. |
Romans 10:4 KJV For Christ is the END of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. |
Matthew 11:13 KJV For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. Galatians 4:10-11,16 KJV Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. [11] I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. [16] Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth? |
John 3:1,3,7,10,15 KJV There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: [3] Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. [10] Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? [15] That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. |
Mankezi:Bless you bro. |
Galactico4ever:Friend, we got to be of Christ to overcome the devil. We may get general blessings like food, shelter, sunshine, rain etc. But when it comes to protection from the devil we got to be submitted/surrendered to Jesus (very high price). Think of everything in your life right now, and see how God is trying to get you, he speaks through problems from the devil. (as God is trying to use even the Pandemic to speak to the whole world). Don't try any good/religious shortcuts: bible study--fasting & praying without first submitting to God; seeing a pastor/prophet/doctor, etc. You might notice your family members too or love ones are familiar with such: in any case you got to truly BE in Christ in holiness to Resist Devil: James 4:7 KJV Submit yourselves therefore to God(STEP 1). Resist the devil (STEP 2), and he will flee from you (DONE). May Jesus Bless You. |
I would like to share briefly on this subject as I think many are still really getting it wrong. In one of my recent posts titled "Considering Some Past...", a recent comment there stated something logical, but was not particularly right. Jesus was answering his disciples in the book of Matthew 24:3 or Luke 21:7, they asked Him TWO questions in that verse: Matt. 24:3 (let's call it VERSE 3a & 3b) 1ST question (kjv) VS 3a: "the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these THINGS be?" (THINGS Jesus mentioned in Verse 2: "When The Temple Would Be Thrown Down." The answer to this first question was to take place or be FULFILLED during the time of that generation of that time, and which DID. (ALSO LIKE Matt. 16:21 & 28, which was FULFILLED in Acts chap 2: the Out Pouring of the Holy Spirit (in that SAME Generation). Unlike this SECOND question (kjv) VS 3b: "AND what shall be the SIGN of thy "coming", and of the END of the World?" The answer to this second question WAS NOT to take place in that generation as some of us think. I guess some have even been saying that Jesus' prophecy failed then. No. Jesus meant the generation that SEES the SIGNS he had been mentioning in previous verses: the arrival of more and more False Prophets/antichrists, Earthquakes, Famines, Pestilence, Rumours of Wars, the great tribulation/persecution/killing of believers (times of the Antichrist), etc (See the whole chapter: Matt. 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13). So, while the first answer (VS:2 the Temple THROWN DOWN) has been fulfilled in that generation, the SECOND answer about the END of the World is yet to be fulfilled. Now, let's dash to verse 29 and 30: *VERSE 29 talks about the SUN getting darkened and The MOON falling: that has NEVER happened. *VERSE 30 talks about the Rapture: the RAPTURE has NEVER happened too. Here is the MAIN point: (do you still remember the Title of this Post?) Luke.21.28 - NKJV Now WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO HAPPEN, "Look up and Lift up your Heads", because YOUR Redemption DRAWS NEAR. So, WHO are those SEEING THESE THINGS? I think we know the ANSWER: (My comment in bracket) Matthew 24:34 KJV Verily I say unto you, This Generation shall NOT pass (the one that SEES the SIGNS mentioned in earlier verses... In their lifetime), till all these things be FULFILLED. No Doubt, OUR Generation is the One SEEING the Most or all those SIGNS. Hence, OUR Generation will not pass till all is fulfilled. In addition, there is a common lie that believers will ESCAPE the GREAT tribulation, well those chapters can help us understand (see Luke 21:12 and Matthew 24:24, Rev. 7:14). That's why we've got to WAKE UP and be more SERIOUS than ever before! However, some may want to disagree with this, no problem. But let's all AGREE that the MAIN thing is to Fear God, Obey Jesus according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John: to be always READY (to meet God after death/during the Rapture). Matthew 24:13 KJV But he that shall ENDURE unto the END, the same shall be saved. Luke 21:33 KJV Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY WORDS shall NOT pass away. Matt.24.42 - Watch therefore, for you DO NOT KNOW what hour your Lord is COMING. See Also: https://www.nairaland.com/5871236/considering-some-past-future-things May Jesus Bless You. |
There are TWO types of Preachers/Religious leaders and believers in the World today: 1. The Old Covenant ones and 2. The New Covenant ones Even though the Bible inspired by the Holy Spirit states clearly and severally that believers should NO LONGER live under the Law/Old covenant, yet MANY, especially the greedy preachers, group leaders and their "strong" followers WILL NOT preach or major on the Truth in order to be POPULAR or become WEALTHY in the world: Romans 7:6 KJV But NOW we are DELIVERED FROM the Law, that being dead wherein we were held; that WE SHOULD SERVE IN NEWNESS of Spirit, and NOT in the OLDNESS of the Letter. Just in passing: Those whose Churches/Religion/Groups don't PERMIT them to study the Scriptures for themselves to get Revelation from the Holy Spirit are terribly confined, and may NEVER Obey Jesus in order to be Saved if they do not AWAKE soon (John 5:40): 2Tim.2.15 AMP STUDY and be EAGER and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial)... Matt.22.29 - NKJV Jesus answered and said to them, "You are MISTAKEN, not Knowing the "Scriptures" Nor the "Power of God". We shouldn't even completely trust REAL Godly Men (think of Judas/Demas), let alone Greedy Preachers/Pastors and Leaders of FIXED clubby groups: Romans 3:4 KJV God forbid: yea, let God be TRUE, but Every Man a LIAR; as it is written, ... Anyway, back to the TOPIC: Jesus said he came NOT to Destroy the Law but to Fulfil it. Matt. 5:17 What it means to FULFIL according to Jesus: to fulfill in other words means to Perfect/Complete OR "UPGRADE" it. He came to UPGRADE People from the OLD Law (flesh/outward) TO the NEW Law (of Spirit/Love/Obedience/the inward life first)! Just as many people would always competitively like to UPGRADE their Phones, Computers, Cars, etc. from OLD versions to the LATEST/Newer versions in the world, alas, it's however strange that for spiritual things, we easily get convinced by Religious Men (the small or BIG ones), consciously or not that THE OLD COVENANT is better: In the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. Chap 5,6 & 7), Jesus expanded on this UPGRADE: Matt.5.21 - He speaks about UPGRADING from Not KILLING to Not even getting ANGRY in the 'heart': "You have heard that it was said to those of OLD, "You shall not murder... Matt.5.22 - But I say to you that whoever is ANGRY with his brother... ...shall be in Danger of HELL FIRE. Matt.5.27 - Here he speaks about upgrading from Not Committing Adultery to Not Even Lusting with the Eyes or in the Heart: "You have heard that it was said to those of OLD, "You shall not commit ADULTERY.' Matt.5.28 - But I say to you that whoever LOOKS at a woman to LUST FOR HER has already committed ADULTERY WITH HER IN HIS HEART. Well, the OLD seems better or easier, but carnally NOT spiritually. The Old covenant is also more of Earthly Blessings (the flesh): "if you obey the laws, I will bless you" (See Gen., Exodus etc). However, the NEW COVENANT is "more" about Heavenly Blessings first, and other things will be ADDED. Matt. 6:33 Jesus taught his disciples, "Give us this day our DAILY Bread", NOT our Daily ICE CREAM. Matt 6:11 Moreover, UNLIKE the OLD TIMES, He said: Matt.6.19 - "Do not LAY UP for yourselves TREASURES on Earth, where moth and rust DESTROY... Matt.6.20 - but LAY UP for yourselves treasures in heaven, where NEITHER moth nor rust destroys and where THIEVES DO NOT break in and STEAL. The Old covenant Preachers/Leaders won't MAJOR on this because it will affect their businesses, as they won't be able to quote Malachi about 'Tithing' and others about 'First fruits' and the likes. Many even try to MIX the two (the Old and New). They won't teach the plain Truth because they themselves are NOT in it, and wouldn't want to Lose a HUGE NUMBER of their "fixed" CUSTOMERS (producing Tithes and Offerings), NOT as Jesus was willing to LOSE Erring Disciples: John 6:66-67 KJV From that time MANY of his Disciples WENT BACK, and WALKED NO MORE with Him. [67] Then said Jesus unto the TWELVE, Will ye also GO AWAY? Jesus sets free, NOT Men. If we LOVE Jesus (the Truth), we won't be FOOLED by anyone. If not, even God will allow us to Believe LIES. 2 Thess. 2:3 LASTLY: Romans 10:4 NKJV For Christ is THE END OF THE LAW for Righteousness to Everyone Who Believes. 1 Peter 4:18 KJV And if the Righteous SCARCELY be SAVED, where shall the ungodly and the sinner APPEAR?

Matt.24.37 - As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Matt.24.38 - For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, Matt.24.39 - and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. |
Luke 5:32 KJV I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. |
cavendishbaba:Right friend, see my signature. Good bless. |
KingAzubuike:Even if the man repented later on (if at all), do you know what manner of regret he will still have right now? We're trying to compare Heavenly treasures with passing treasures of earth: very strange. The thing is we shouldn't try to use or read what doesn't belong to us in the first place, to avoid unnecessary confusions or questions. Let's imagine why a Dog is wondering why it's master always have clothes or shoes on; or goes to school, spends money, buys cars etc. If a dog has to become A Man to understand Man, likewise, we've got to be God's Children to understand Him. Thanks for the Ezekiel 7 you qouted... However, this is what God requires of his Children: Phil.4.12 - I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have LEARNED THE SECRET of being "content" in any and "every" situation, whether "Well Fed" or "Hungry", whether living in Plenty or in Want. May Jesus bless you. |
As a person that had got stuck with some common issues of Life at some point, I thought I would just modify this response of mine to someone recently, to help MANY or at least FEW others that are also POOR IN SPIRIT (those aware of their SPIRITUAL NEEDS in Jesus): those SICK AND TIRED of living in Sins; getting DEFEATED, DEPRESSED or feeling OVERWHELMED by their PROBLEMS/SITUATIONS/FEARS, TO Escape False Salvation/Reality in Jesus and Common deceptions in MANY Churches and in Christendom at large. To Everyone, THE RICH AND THE POOR, Jesus says COME. Rev. 22:17 Jesus will always give ETERNAL LIFE to "anyone". HE DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE. Matthew 11:28 KJV COME unto me, all ye that LABOUR and are HEAVY laden, and I will give you REST. Even if the Poor person says, 'I'm OKAY, thanks". But the Rich one says, "Lord Jesus, I want Eternal Life!" Of course, HE will accept the ONE THAT WANTS HIM ALONE! POVERTY in the world isn't a licence into God's Kingdom, just as Material RICHES isn't either. Only that most times the Rich easily get puffed up because of their Wealth and Influence; hence, MANY of them never get SAVED But for the POOR IN SPIRIT (wealthy or not): Matt.5.3 - "Blessed are the POOR IN SPIRIT, For theirs IS the kingdom of Heaven. A Question by a Poor in Spirit: How can I have Eternal Life in Jesus? (to get saved) My friend, are you sure? Because MANY of us that claim to be saved are SADLY NOT, but just fooling ourselves in Empty SELF/CHURCH Religion or Activities. Do you want to USE God or you want God to USE you and BLESS you there by? At many gatherings, it's rather common to hear: "If you want to be saved, STAND AND COME FORWARD and repeat the Sinner's Prayer..." BUT Jesus said to SIT DOWN, AND COUNT THE COST FIRST: Luke.14.26 - "If anyone COMES to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, YES, and his OWN life also, he CANNOT be My disciple. Luke.14.27 - And whoever does not bear his CROSS and come after Me CANNOT be My disciple. Luke.14.28 - For which of you, intending to BUILD a tower, does not SIT DOWN first and COUNT THE COST, whether he has ENOUGH to FINISH it-- Luke.14.29 - lest, after he has LAID the foundation, and is NOT able to finish, all who see it begin to MOCK him, Luke.14.30 - saying, "This man BEGAN to build and was NOT able to FINISH.' Matthew 16:24 KJV [25] For whosoever will SAVE his life shall LOSE it: and whosoever will LOSE his life for my sake shall FIND it. If you're still really READY to be Saved, in your room, by FAITH: Ask Jesus to FORGIVE ALL your Sins; ask Him to come into your heart by the Holy Spirit. BELIEVE it's all done by him. Then Get baptized in Water. Stop all conscious Sins: seek Jesus for Grace/Power to OVERCOME. Ask Jesus for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit to serve Him. Now, DON'T JOIN ANY CHURCH at Random, ask Jesus to lead you. Because Jesus IS NOT in "many" of them. He might even lead you NOT to join ANYONE in the meantime. Start studying the Bible on your OWN; listen to preachers that major on Discipleship and the Cross of Jesus: NOT PROSPERITY, HEALTH AND WEALTH False Preachers of the End time. (You may try preachers like Gbile Akanni, Zac Poonen (cfcindia(.com), Jan Boshoff, warningthepeople, AND other FEW Men majoring on the Cross of Christ. (Using Google/YouTube) Phil.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: Phil.3.19 - whose END is "destruction", whose god is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their "mind" on EARTHLY things. Phil.3.20 - For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly WAIT for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, One Last VERSE: Rev.22.17 - And the Spirit and the Bride SAY, "Come!" And let him who HEARS say, "Come!" And let him who THIRSTS COME. Whoever DESIRES, let him take the water of life FREELY. May Jesus Enlighten And Strengthen You All. |
cavendishbaba:Yes, you're right, thanks. Baptism is a testimony to the world that one is now converted: like he buries his Sins has he goes into the water, then comes out has a New Man in Christ. But since true churches are scarce, one can ask a "true believer" to get one Baptised. May Jesus bless you. |
Matthew 5:44 KJV But I say unto you, Love your ENEMIES, Bless them that curse you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:45,48 KJV That ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the EVIL and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the UNJUST. [48] Be ye therefore Perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT. |
Matthew 24:8,11,13 KJV All these are the beginning of SORROWS. [11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive MANY. [13] But he that shall ENDURE unto the END, the same shall be SAVED. |
eplanning:Okay friend: taken as your opinion. But let's Focus on the Main Thing: Obedience to Jesus according to the Books of the New Testament, especially Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. We may not agree in terms of knowledge or ideas, BUT let's all Major on OBEDIENCE WHICH IS EXTREMELY MORE IMPORTANT than others. Thanks, Goodbye. |
James 1:2-4 KJV My brethren, COUNT it all joy when ye fall into DIVERS temptations; [3] Knowing this , that the trying of your faith worketh PATIENCE. [4] But let PATIENCE have her PERFECT work, that ye may be PERFECT and entire, wanting NOTHING. |
Moezzy1:My friend, are you sure? Cos many of us that claim to be are SADLY NOT, but just fooling ourselves in Empty SELF/CHURCH Religion/Activities... What are your motives: do you want to USE God or you want God to USE you and bless you there by. We usually hear, "STAND AND COME FORWARD; Now, repeat the Sinner's Prayer..." BUT Jesus said to SIT DOWN, AND COUNT THE COST FIRST: Luke.14.26 - "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, YES, and his OWN life also, he CANNOT be My disciple. Luke.14.27 - And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me CANNOT be My disciple. Luke.14.28 - For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down FIRST and COUNT THE COST, whether he has enough to FINISH it-- Luke.14.29 - lest, after he has LAID the foundation, and is NOT able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, Luke.14.30 - saying, "This man began to build and was NOT able to finish.' Matthew 16:24-25 KJV Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him DENY himself, and take up his Cross, and Follow me. [25] For whosoever will save his life shall LOSE it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall FIND it. If you're really READY to Repent friend(s), in your room, by FAITH: Ask Jesus to forgive all your Sins; ask Him to come into your heart by the Holy Spirit and BELIEVE it's all done by him. Stop all conscious Sins: seek Jesus for Grace to overcome. Then Get baptized in Water. Ask Jesus for the baptism of the holy spirit to serve Him.

You may try Gbile Akanni messages, Zac Poonen (cfcindiadotcom), Jan Boshoff, warningthepeople AND any other majoring on the Cross of Christ. Phil.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: Phil.3.19 - whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things. Phil.3.20 - For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, May Jesus Strengthen and Enlighten You All. |
