Dont mind him. He used to be my friend but not anymore.
He's not available anywhere...not here...not anywhere.
He doesnt even respond to emails. What really is he up to?

I have no problems with the weddings or marriage ceremonies.
What amazes me is the way and manner they celebrate the dead; of even their relatives.
I mean, a family just lost their breadwinner and instead of coming to visit with some food and money to help, you come with your long throat to fight for fufu and pounded yam.

After you force them to spend their last dime on the burial celebration or party, you take away the only car the family has and begin to look around for what else there is to carry. . . maybe the man's wife or perhaps the kids could serve as your slaves, Lord have mercy. This is witchcraft!

You never sent 20k home to your mother. . . Now she is dead, you spend 250k on a party? Nonsense!

Of course there is energy in the spirit world.
From where did the fire that Elijah called fall?
Where did the fire come from that consumed those soldiers before God's annointed prophet?
The bible calls Him the light which no man can approach.

Are God's people not baptized in the Holy Ghost and fire?

It's very clear already that the book has an uncommon readership. Ask the OP if you are not cleared. . . I mean why do you think he is so uneasy. . . cant you see how he is salivating?

^^^Also, 'Mao Tse-tung' is a man's name and not a book title.
I believe those figures refer to the sale of all his published writings from 1926-1966 (even after his death). We might as well add all of pastor Chris' books including None of these diseases and healing school?

I will only comment on this until you provide clarity. As for the other books, I wont even bother commenting on those numbers.

Pastor Kun:
All it takes in this day and age to know the top circulating books in the world is a google search. I can assure you that your filthy rhapsody of errors would not even feature in the top ten thousand books circulating world wide

I guess the above is your idea of an intelligent comment.
FYI, a google search result may show the most marketed (online), not necessarily the most circulated. The millions freely distributed globally through one-on-one evangelism may not show up in your google search results.

@dare2think
We have distribution numbers from our churches and partners around the world.
Do you know of any book that is more widely circulated? Name pls. . . so we can compare numbers.

Whichever one you choose (. . . Cantonese or Chinese), we have rhapsody in both languages . . .
We even have in pidgin English if that's what you will understand

Pastor Kun:
^^^
These CEC victims are really deluded dolts. Most circulated book in the world after the bible I laugh in cantonese.

Is that what is paining you? Like it or not, it is a fact.

^^ True talk bro.

1 Cor. 3:18-19
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. [19] For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

As for your question 'How were you born again', you cn find loads of salvation testimonies here: www.wikisozo.com

Again?
Congrats Bro. Only prob is that this could bring you more insults and enemies (just like 2011 did); supposing that you'll respond in like manner.
Anyways, I know you will let God's love rule your heart as usual. I'm praying for you.
Happy new year 2012 - THE YEAR OF THE WORD!

^^^ I trust he would. . .
I just love his music, full of da word!

Ah Joagbaje,

You have demystified this age thing finaly hun?

^^^ e a s y. . . .why are you so bitter?

I nominate Joagbaje for his very well written, well balanced and highly spiritual posts.
Mabel for her sacrifice and consistency  in ensuring that we have Rhapsody here on NL.

Also I support the motion to have Joeagbaje as moderator as that will bring some sanity to the religion section. His dream of making this section a world class resource center is much appreciated.

Happy Birthday,  God's field marshal

Guys, you'd be amazed what could come out of this thread if we stopped fighting and directed our energies towards some collaborative efforts.

@2helpu,
I just sent you an email.
BTW, great work guys! Its comforting to see this happening in Nigeria.
Cheers.

About Nigeria, I heard him prophesy last Sunday of better days for the country in the near future.
He predicted that those involved with the bombing will soon begin to point fingers at each other, there will be some heat and then a calming down returns.
I said Amen, afterall I pray daily for this.

What wows me is not the fact that someone's message (even though it shouldnt be anybody's message but Christ's) was blown apart but the debth of understanding and revelation of the gospel of Christ.
Peace

Daiquiri:

What is the intent of the storyteller here,

and what message is he or she trying to convey? Is it a worthwhile one?

Some questions are in order to determine the answer:

What would the driver have surmised if the preacher was not paying attention to his change and did not return the quarter?

Was the driver judging after the appearance?

How would he know if the preacher was a Pharisee in spirit,

one who gave alms, fasted, prayed, “tithed mint, rue, and cumin,”

returned unwarranted change, but ignored the weightier matters of the Law?

What kind of Savior is Jesus Christ if the driver should stumble over an error or deliberate offense on the part of the preacher?

What chance is there for mankind if it is dependent upon the virtue of mankind?

Is the salvation of another a matter of chance and human virtue, or is it guaranteed by the finished work of Jesus Christ in His death and resurrection?

Is Jesus Christ supposed to be saving the driver, or is the preacher supposed to be saving Jesus Christ?

[b]Has the driver never experienced anyone not professing faith in Christ returning that which did not belong to them[b]? Perhaps it could be argued that the driver was merely preliminarily testing the waters.

If the driver was looking for a place to worship, should not the preacher have been speaking the truth of John 4 to him?:

“Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither worship the Father in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know, we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth” (John 4:21-24 MKJV).

If Jesus could save us when we were yet sinners - His enemies, caring nothing for Him, indeed, hating Him - need we live in fear, anxiously grasping lampposts once we are His, lest we should offend?

Will He only have strength to carry us so far, compelling us to take responsibility for the rest of the way, or is He as He declared Himself to be, the Alpha and the Omega, the Author and Finisher of our faith?

This story is another primo sappy story, very fleshly. It is unreal and manipulative. [/b]

The bus driver’s conclusions about the preacher are not valid, and the preacher’s conclusions about the Lord and the bus driver are not valid.

Many people would give the quarter back. Catch Hitler at the right moment, and he would, too. So do you go follow him as a man of God?

The driver, or more truthfully, the storyteller, is caught by his cleverness, going by his own signs and criteria, not God’s.

Satan can be very clever and moralistic, especially if it involves and celebrates the righteousness of man.

In this respect, the driver and the preacher, creations of our storyteller, are two peas in a pod. Both are walking in their own righteousness.

This story is a promotion of false Christianity, that is, man made.

The preacher could not sell what he did not have. He did not have the Lord. What he was wrestling with was his conscience. He may have sold his conscience for a quarter, but not God’s Son. And had the preacher sold his conscience, failing the bus driver’s test, the bus driver would only have missed going to that preacher’s service. Presumably, he would not have stopped looking for a church to attend.

Imagine Jesus grasping a lamppost, so relieved He had not almost blown it! That could never happen to an omnipotent, holy Savior. So those who are Christ’s true ministers have their faith in Him, and not in their fallibility to represent Him; they know better, knowing Him. Neither do true ministers of Christ permit or indulge seekers to place their faith in them.

But that still does not ensure that the bus driver was looking for God; in fact, the driver’s criteria to discern true worth in an alleged man of God could very well say otherwise. If God were drawing him, he would not have been testing anyone in that way – God would have inspired him differently.

If a man is truly searching for God, he is not looking for a man or church. Neither will a thousand lying preachers and angels keep him away from Christ, because God is drawing him, and who or what can prevent God? Darkness compels the true seeker towards the Light.

To paraphrase the Scriptures, man’s unrighteousness commends God’s righteousness, and the Truth of God abounds through men’s lies (Romans 3:3 and following).

As for the “Watch your whatevers” at the end of this document, it is true that thoughts may lead to words and actions, actions to habits, habits to character, and we become what we choose to think, speak, and do. It is true that we serve as examples for others and should therefore be careful that we are not a cause of stumbling.

Now what shall we do? Shall we trust in our own strength, or shall we trust the Lord to deliver us because we are without strength? Is He in our hands, or are we in His? Just who is the potter, and who is the clay?

^^^Wow! The above should be nominated for POST OF THE YEAR -Religion section.

"Anyone who scores first, takes the day. But it did not favour Nigeria. It will be shameful for Nigeria. I watched it yesterday, God showed it to me, "

, These were the prophet's words.
God has vindicated him.

My advice for his detractors:
Repent of your blasphemy and believe the gospel of Jesus. He is the same yesterday, today and forever

ogajim:
You want to tell me those synchronized mumble jumble is coming from the "spirit"? If so, whose "spirit"?

If you do not understand shut up and dont let your mouth get you into trouble.
I noticed something; those who argue against tongues do not speak with tongues. . . period. Many have tried and failed and that is why they are suspicious of those with genuine manifestations. Those who are aginst healing the sick do not heal the sick. Those who are against the message of prosperity are broke _{irrespective of what they might appear to be outwardly}

ogajim:
Jesus gave us Our Lord's prayer but which doesn't seem to be enough for the "WOFers/name it and claim it" lot out there.

In The Lords prayer, Jesus gave a format for prayer and not a prayer. Receive the Holy ghost and you will discover what you have been missing all this while. It is a rich fellowship with not enough earthly words to express oneself in this rich fellowship.  The Lord said “after this manner pray ye. . .”  He did not say, “Pray this prayer. . .”

ogajim:
Our Lord know our needs before we even before we open out mouth but somehow we are supposed to repeat some practiced nonsense to please?

Nonsense? Be careful my friend. Yes the Lord knows our hearts, yet he requires of us to pray with all types of prayer and supplication IN THE SPIRIT. Eph 6:18.

ogajim:
You folks have a huge misunderstanding of "tongue" as used in the Bible

You do not speak with tongues so you cannot understand it my dear.

ogajim:
because everyone was able to hear the message in his/her own "tongue", I could come to your Church and speak German(valid tongue by the way) throughout the service but what can you get out of it if you don't understand German?

l
This is ignorance on rampage. Read that passage well and repent of your unbelief.
In Acts2:1-8 We find the 120 disciples in one accord in the upper room speaking in tongues and magnifying God all at the same time.
Even if they were all speaking Yoruba and you were Yoruba, will you hear what each person is saying?
The miracle of that event on Pentecost was the fact that God opened the minds of those outside who came to Jerusalem from every nation to hear the noise that came from the upper room in their own tongue. That is, you understood the noise in your language and I understood the same noise in mine.
That is why they were surprised. It was a miracle!  vs. 8 says "And how hear we every man in our tongue, wherein we were born? "

1cor 14:2
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men for no man understands him; howbeit, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

That is God's word. However, there is the gift of diverse tongues which I also believe in. God can give a man ability to speak an earthly language which he never learned. That has happened before and still happens. However you should not call tongues of angels fake simply because you cannot speak the language.

ogajim:
A few days later, on the Day of Pentecost, the disciples are all together when the sound of a mighty wind comes down from heaven, with tongues of fire resting on them. The Bible says, "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them." The crowds observed this event and heard them speaking in different languages. They were amazed and thought the disciples were drunk on wine. Then Peter got up and preached the Good News of the kingdom and 3000 people accepted the message of Christ! That same day they were baptized and added to the family of God.

The book of Acts continues to record the miraculous outpouring of the Holy Spirit that began on Pentecost. Once again we see the Old Testament revealing a shadow of the things to come through Christ! After Moses went up to Mount Sinai, the Word of God was given to the Israelites at Shavuot. When the Jews accepted the Torah, they became servants of God. Similarly, after Jesus went up to heaven, the Holy Spirit was given at Pentecost. When the disciples received the gift, they became witnesses for Christ. Jews celebrated a joyous harvest on Shavuot, and the church celebrated a harvest of newborn souls on Pentecost.


Was there any other time this was recorded in the Bible? This was a UNIQUE occurrence that is being polluted by some so called Churches today in the name of worship, (in vain they worship me?)?

God had spoken in the OT that he will speak with stammering lips and another tongue to these people. This is the rest, this is the refreshing, yet they will not hear. (Isaiah 28:11-12).

You will answer to God when the time comes.

_{<. . . talking in tongues>}

Bro Jo has said it all.
Let him that hath ears Hear.

Joagbaje:
Donnie, long time! How's reach out plan in your end. Is it a hospital you people are giving the nation where you are.

@Jo
Long time no see my brother. There's a large school building that is collapsing leaving the children no option than to have their lessons outside.
We plan to put the building in order (among other things which the school will stand to benefit). The project will run into millions of Naira.

Arise o compatriots!!,

^^My dear,
This kind of thing happens very often.
In our meetings, many get healed instantly just by sighting the MOG.
It's the power of God's Spirit. . . so don't be offended.
