Friend,you are wasting ur time.You can never discuss what you don't know.I don't talk about what I don't know.There are somethings I will say,that you can NEVER understand even if you go and enrol for Phd in Theology.

Kikikiki...You obviously don't know Jesus.
Better don't waste your time.The Jesus I know is not Only The Son of God but GOD Himself!!
I know you can't understand.
But hear why I said u should stop wasting your time.
The Bible Says in 1 John 2:22
"WHO IS A LIAR BUT HE THAT DENIETH THAT JESUS IS CHRIST? HE IS ANTICHRIST THAT DENIETH THE FATHER AND THE SON."
Stop wasting your time talking about the JESUS you do not know about.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: FRIDAY 8TH JULY 2016

THEME: FOOLISHNESS IN VOW TAKING

MEMORISE: Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Ecclesiastes 5:5

READ: Psalms 15:1-4, (KJV)
1. Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2. He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.
3. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

MESSAGE:
There will be both pleasant and unpleasant surprises in Heaven. The reason being that many who we think will not make it to Heaven will make it in, just like the robber on the right hand of the Cross of Jesus Christ did. The Bible says;
“But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.”
Ezekiel 33:19

The lawful thing for the wicked to do is to repent, as God is more than willing to forgive and to cleanse him from all unrighteousness (1st John 1:7-9). However, the Bible equally says:
“When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.”
Ezekiel 33:18

One deadly habit of some 21st century Christians is making a vow and not fulfilling it. This is foolishness of the highest order. The Bible warns us against making vows and not fulfilling them. One of such cases is when funds are being raised for the work of God; careless children of God make very big vows ‘in faith’ that they are not able to fulfil. You hear them saying, “God understands!” How dangerous. Our memory verse says;
“Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.”
Ecclesiastes 5:5
Verse six of the same scripture further say:
“Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error; wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?”
Worse still, despite being capable of paying their vows, some refuse to, even after God has fulfilled His own part. Nothing could be more dangerous than this.

An aspect of vows that is even more delicate is the marriage vow. People no longer accept the fact that marriage vows remain valid until death separates the husband from the wife or vice versa. They give flimsy excuses for divorcing their spouses. Like one of my children would ask: “When you were saying ‘for better and for worse’, did you put a limit to the extent of the worse you were talking about?” You should never consider breaking your marriage vows. God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16)
Beloved, always keep and pay your vows, and if you have broken your business or marriage vow, repent, restitute and reconcile before it is too late. Covenant breakers will not enter into the Kingdom of God.

ACTION POINT:
Think of all the unfulfilled vows you have made and make amends without further delay.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Romans 4-7:6 and Psalms 3-4

AUTHOR: Pst E. A. ADEBOYE

HYMN 2: O JESUS, I HAVE PROMISED.

O Jesus, I have promised,
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my Friend;
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.

Oh, let me feel Thee near me;
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.

Oh, let me hear Thee speaking,
In accents clear and still,
Above the storms of passion,
The murmurs of self-will;
Oh, speak to reassure me,
To hasten, or control;
Oh, speak, and make me listen,
Thou Guardian of my soul.

O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be;
And Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Oh, give me grace to follow,
My Master and my Friend.

Oh, let me see Thy footmarks,
And in them plant mine own;
My hope to follow duly
Is in Thy strength alone.
Oh, guide me, call me, draw me,
Uphold me to the end;
And then to rest receive me,
My Savior and my Friend.

BEWARE! BEWARE!!

If you are using an internet banking system!!!
You might receive an SMS from a number
similar to the one that you get bank
notifications from. The SMS will indicate a
problem on your account and a 'Consultant' will contact you.
When the 'consultant' contacts you, he/she will start confirming all your details and your
account number and will ask you what kind of a phone you are using, etc… (please do not
release any details to them)
The fraudsters will then contact your mobile
phone service provider (which they already have contacts within) and perform a SIM Swap.
The fraudster will then be able to receive OTP's
(One Time Pins) and/or RVN's (Random
Verification Numbers) from your bank and have access to your bank accounts.
By the time you realize that your mobile number
is not working; Your money will be out of your account.
Please broadcast and forward to others and let everyone know about this very big scam going
on at the moment.
God bless you.
Broadcast as received!!!

Tirukkural by Tiruvalluvar ( a Tamil poet/writer) was written more than 5000 yrs ago. It’s one of the ancient science on Human behaviour, which has not changed inspite of modern education & technology !
SOME GOLDEN THOUGHTS OF THIRUKKURAL

1. If your child lies to you often, it is because you over-react too harshly to their inappropriate behaviour.

2. If your child is not taught to confide in you about their mistakes, you’ve lost them.

3. If your child had poor self-esteem, it is because you advice them more than you encourage them.

4. If your child does not stand up for themselves, it is because from a young age you have disciplined them regularly in public.

5. If your child takes things that do not belong to them, it is because when you buy them things, you don’t let them chose what they want.

6. If your child is cowardly, it is because you help them too quickly.

7. If your child does not respect other people’s feelings, it is because instead of speaking to your child, you order and command them.

8. If your child is too quick to anger, it is because you give too much attention to misbehaviour and you give little attention to good behaviour.

9. If your child is excessively jealous, it is because you only congratulate them when they successfully complete something and not when they improve at something even if they don’t successfully complete it.

10. If your child intentionally disturbs you, it is because you are not physically affectionate enough.

11. If your child is openly defiant, it is because you openly threaten to do something but don’t follow through.

12. If your child is secretive, it is because they don’t trust that you won’t blow things out of proportion.

13. If your child talks back to you, it is because they watch you do it to others and think its normal behaviour.

14. If your child doesn’t listen to you but listens to others, it is because you are too quick to jump to conclusions

15. If your child rebels it is because they know you care more about what others think than what is right

Please forward this to parents who care to. Read this, it MAY GUIDE OUR MODERN PARENTING.

Valley Of Hope Devotional {10th June, 2016}

Stay In Your Place {3}

Anything that gives you the feeling of excitement outside the truth is a dose for momentary madness that will lead to long lasting sadness.

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it {Genesis 3: 6}.

Do you know what Eve told Adam that convinced him to eat what God told them not to eat? If you do, I desire to know because I wouldn’t know what Eve told Adam that sounds better than God’s command and certain than God Himself. Reading this verse over and over again, this is my take:

1. Anything that makes you doubt or question God’s Word is a destructive force taking you to calamity.

2. Anything that promises to give you what “seems” God wouldn’t give you is a lie that will eventually rob you of what you have and give you nothing but shame and emptiness.

3. Anything that sounds better and sweeter than the truth is a force pushing into the pit of bitterness and darkness.

4. There is nothing outside God that can give you what God has promised you or something better than the will of God for your life.

Adam and Eve ate the fruit and nothing was the same again. All their upward thrill turn downward and their children’s children felt the pains of their momentary insanity. I urge you to take a clue from this. There is no better place to stand than in God and nothing can guarantee your safety and prosperity than the truth. Drop that forbidden fruit and keep enjoying the other refreshing fruits in God’s vineyard. Good Morning! {Listen to Valley Of Hope on Oxzy FM 98.5 Monday to Friday by 7am}

Prayer: I cut off from everything and anyone pulling me away from the will of God it in Jesus’ name {Amen}

Stay Blessed and Strong! Gabriel E.O.F. Omoboriola {Connect with me on Twitter: @eofgabriel}. www.gabrielomoboriola.com

Me, the IDOL WORSHIPPER?

I wondered why I was in the queue of accused at all
I am intelligent, aggressive, young, Totally committed to my God.
What am I doing here ?with this sheet of supposed sins in my hand I wondered
I don’t drink, I don't smoke, I don’t fornicate, I don’t steal, I am righteous. Others should be here not me.

It was finally my turn to face the Man.
I placed my sheet before Him, He glanced at it and sighed softly.
He looked at me and calmly said,
‘Guilty of idol worship'
Imagine my anger, my fury, My indignation, I jumped out of the chair and said ‘Of course not! Check the sheet again, check the name, It can't be mine’
He sighed again and mentioned one of my names that no one knows
I would not be stopped. It's impossible’ I yelled. I worship only God, the Most High, Maker of heaven and earth, The king of kings and Lord of Lords.
I bow down to none, I have no talisman, no amulet, No pot underneath my bed.
‘You are guilty of idol worship’ He repeated calmly
He looked at me
I looked at Him
It seemed like forever. The room was silent.
I could hear the clock ticking

Then slowly I understood

I am never late for my British Airway flights but I am always late to church
-I blinked -
My payments to unfaithful PHCN and water board are never late but I haven’t paid my tithes in three months
-I looked down-,

When meeting one of our local chiefs last week I would not even pick a call in the presence of earthly royalty, but I WhatsApp in church
-I swallowed-.

I wouldn’t interrupt my performance appraisal with my boss for anything but I missed church last week because of a film on TV
-I squirmed uncomfortably-

I wouldn’t let a day end without talking to my spouse but today I just said Hi God, Bye God
And I didn’t even pray last night
-The room began to feel hot-

I would never miss going to the bank because of the weather but I missed fellowship of Wednesday because it looked really cloudy.
-It seems the AC in the room wasn’t working-

I would wear my party colors to party meetings and not care what anyone thought of me but I hate to talk to my workmates about God because of what they will think of me.
-Someone should fix this AC or put it on 0 because 10 was too hot for me-

I always have the latest tech toy you can think of but my bible is so worn I cant even find Jude anymore
-I wished the Man would get a call and leave but He doesn’t allow anything to interrupt when He is with His children.-

I felt so hot in the room, a nervous sweat on my forehead, I felt so ill and weak, all of my anger and self righteousness was gone, leaving immense guilt in its wake.
I slowly got of the chair and knelt by His feet and said
‘I am sorry, I am guilty as charged, Guilty of idol worship, guilty of placing others; humans, toys; before You. I am guilty of idol worship’

He smiled gently, looked at me with those passionate eyes of His full of love and He gave me a fresh sheet!
Good morning! Don't even try to say, it can't be me. Can we for once be True and change our ways?

For me it is difficult to understand that you have forgiven a person you didnt reconcile with.Maybe you can help me

I think u misunderstand me, her forgiven been overuse j might to say he's misusing it, now divorcing him doesn't mean she has not forgiven him.
