@Davidylan,
I chose earlier to ignore the nonsensical question u asked saying: hw can we build a happier world with love when satan is the God of this world.
But in order for u not to mistake our silence for agreement i want to show u hw confused u are about us.
Firstly, the greek Word translated as 'world' in the scripture where satan is refered to as 'the god of this world' refers to the world's system and not the physical structures and buildings. It refers to the poitical, educational & moral systems which are under the control of satan.
So ur arguement that we cannot claim to be building a happier world with love makes no sense since we are neither a construction company nor are we involved in clonning or manufacturing human beings. What we are actually taking control of by the Spirit of God is the system of dis world which we seek to influence and dominate with love b4 the rapture.
We are demonstrating to dis sin sick world a more excellent and glorious way through d message of God's love wc we share.

So hw did the term penticostal find its way into Christianity? Well, I dont know but it sure came from the same place where some other unscriptural teachings which these penticostals have introduced over the years came from. Teachings such as: Holy Dove, Double portion annointing, breaking of ancestral curses, deliverance ministry, enemies must die, oil and mantle, mammy water hair attachment, demonic creams, coke, sugar and sardines.
Dont forget that the fact that a lie has been on the throne for a long time does not make it true, it is still a lie.
In the time of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men every where to repent.

Nonsense, u do not know your bible.
You are in suppport of an obvious confusion of God's Word by those who call themselves penticostals.
They testify that thay are the ones who recieved the Holy ghost but in actual fact they confess themselves out of the blessing of God by that name PENTICOSTAL which has nothing to do with Christianity.
Because on that day of penticost, those who celebrated penticost were outside and did not recieve the Holy ghost. The disciples who were in the upper room were not celebrating penticost for they couldnt do so for fear of the Jews ( remember Jesus was raised form the dead not too long ago and as such they were under much persecution by the Jews).
So when the Holy ghost came, only those who were not celebrating penticost recieved. The penticostals were outside and did not recieve the Holy Ghost.
The Word penticostal was mentioned in just two places; when the disciple recieved the Holy ghost and when it was refered to as a Jewish feast.

In 1 John 5: 11-14 'the bible says, he that hath the son hath life (ZOE). . . i write unto you you that ye may know that ye have eternal life. . .'
The word Zoe was translated as eternal life.

Zoe is the life and nature of God. The very life that makes God God.
The bible also tells us. . . NOW are we the sons of God . . . (not in the sweet bye and bye but NOW).
Please can somebody tell these satan's agents that we are to cooked for them and their deceit?

Titus 1:15
15 Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted.

If you have been properly brought up, you will know how to be like God who calls those things that be not as though they are. He called the world into existence from nothing.
That is why Jesus said, when you pray, believe that you have recieved them and you shall have them. When you truely pray, God births in your spirit the right visions and revelations which you will hold on to and make your constant confession. This will not be difficult to understand if you are an intercessor and not just a critic.

The bible also tells us : know ye no man after the flesh. Meaning you should see them through the eyes of your spirit and not your carnal mind. When you truely pray for people, you cannot criticise and try to run them down. Truely, i am amazed how you came about the name backslider and since havent been prompted of the Spirit to change it. Dont you knw that we become what we call ourselves.

When God wants to do something with your life, he first changes your name. Ask Abraham, Israel, and even Gideon, they will tell u. When the world calls us what they think we are, will we also destroy ourselves with our mouths?

I am an intercessor. . . The church is marching on and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
 
Can u shout Amen somebody!!!

Na u sabi. . .

I once hrd a CEC pastor say after what he has learnt listening to and working under pst. chris, it'll be difficult for just any other person to pastor him . . .
It takes maturity to relate with some christians really. Bc u knw where they are coming from and cn relate appropriately with them in luv but they on the other hand have no clue about u or what ur about. In fact, they would rather u were unsaved than saved the way u are or altogether out of d way

My dear sis,
It's even more difficult avoiding theses folks esp now that i keep getting notice of replies in my mail box. Imagine seeing 'Pst Chris is a phoney' again n again in ur mail box.
We can only pray that the knowledge of God's Word will increase with clear demonstration of the Spirit's power so dt there'll be a clear difference bw those who study their bibles with revelation and those who are mere bible scholars, confusing themselves and others.

To be born of water is not the same thing as being baptized in water.

@Davidylan
Tell me,
now that you hv suceeded in not only demonstrating your need for the Spirit of the fear of the Lord in your life, but also the need for the eyes of your understanding to be enlightened by the Spirit of understanding. Jesus said, you err for you know not the scriptures,
Uinderstanding does not come by studying the scriptures in an academic way like many of you do. You may have studied philosophy and learnt how to quote scriptures but all these cannot show u God. He reveals himself to those he has called and chosen and in them he manifests his love and power.

@Konle
So u think you hv made a point by copying and pasting that passage of scripture? You did not think you should explain how those scriptures nullify the fact that until penticost, no one could have been born again.
The fact that you have never been taught the Word should not then mean that we all should dwell in ignorance like urself.

I can take u thru scripture upon scripture on what it means to be born again from the dead but i will rather not cast my precious pearls b4 swine.

@Davidilan
Now i see clearly where u r coming from. If you have eternal life in you, it wont be difficult to understand d dillema of the one without it and the compassion of christ towards them. But since u see no diference bw the christain and the unregenerated man. I need not say any further. My suspicions are confirmed.

Hmm, that's like him. Hardly ever openly against the truth but always ensures that the atmosphere is conducive enough for his uneliever, carnal and atheist friends.

@Tommyx, iceland
Wetin be una own sef with choir members?
No b member dem b b4 them go join choir?
Dont know about others but the choir members in our church hold a relatively higher standard of discipline.

The only way we can walk in unison is if you stick to the Word. You made mention of a message u hrd the man quote out of context yet i dont seem to find where u brought the message forward for discussion. Rather i have seen hw u pour out ur resentment and envy all through the pages, talking about trivialities such as hair and DVD sets.

If that Unison u are refering to is to begin to cast doubt at what God is doing in the lives of His servants who have ministered before Him selflessly for many years then no thanks, i do not need that your prayer. I know better.

Just like the bible tells us. It is not possible for one who hs once recieved the Holy ghost and experinced the power of the gospel to be restored if he turns his back on the truth of the Gospel.
If u have been born agin and have experienced that same grace and power in signs and wonders u will not be able to speak against it. The Spirit wouldnt let you do so but if u insist and go ahead with your blasphemies it is impossible for anyone to restore you back because you delibrately denied Jesus and turned your back on the gospel and power of the Spirit which you have once tasted. You are beyond redemption. Another spirit takes over your life. That is the point of apostacy.

Thomas was not a Christian, he wasnt born again. He did not hv the life of God in Him. he did not have the Spirit of Christ. How could u make such a comparison?
The one with the Holy Ghost will have a witness within himself. For the Holy Ghost within him will testify of Christ. He restrains your tongue from speaking evil.
For ur info pls, i am not typing here to win any carnal arguement. . . I am speaking by revelation. What i recieve i put down.
The bible says, 'know ye no man after the flesh'. I am judging in the light of God's Word.

@AKO
There's nothing wrong in an unbeliever asking for evidence but for a christian needing evidence, he should examine himself if he is in the faith.
Nevertheless, many who call for evidence arent really interested in finding it cos these miracles happen in the open. In tthe full glare of thousands and sometimes millions. It wouldnt suprise me to knw that Paulipopo has never been to a Pastor Chris crusade not to talk of the healing school of Christ Embassy yet see hw convincingly he writes. Some say we should go to the streets and hospitals to heal the sick. Well even though many are already doing that with results, it is importat that i let u knw that not all who are sick want to be heald. Many dont want to leave the road side. I am speaking from practical experience. I hv stories.

Study ur bible and find out on which occassion Jesus spoke about the sin of blasphemy which shall not be forgiven.
You think this is one of those sins you will commit and then quote some scripture to cover it up. . . You must be joking.
Do u know what Icaboth means? U better find out because when that glory departs from your life, there is no way u can get it back. The Spirit is one so this one that u say with one breath that he is a phoney and stage manages miracles and with another that u are not condemning him is like playing with fire.
Do not be decieved by Pastor Chris' boyish looks, the Spirit and power behind him is beyond what u think u or those demons speaking to u can handle.
The same Spirit that opens blind eyes and unstops deaf ears can crush u in a split second.
So u think u r called to do what great annointed men of God all around Nigeria came together to do but failed woefully.
You think Pastor Adeboye, Oyedepo and Kumuyi dont know enough bible or aren't led of God. Why do they keep silent?

I have listened to this unbeliever called Paulipopo and his friends some of which i recognize to be against everything called Spirit or supernatural.
Yet they claim to be christians and quote scripture.
Brethren, beware of dogs. The mixed muiltitude. They came out of egypt but yet they still lung to go back there. They are comfortable with the natural, what they can see and touch that is why they call for evidence.
They would have prefered it if the people prayed and prayed and prayed until God finally answered. But an instant miracle is out of the question. I pity u.
And put it to you that u dont really believe in Jesus and His Word. Chances are that u either are not functioning in a church under a man of God or u are simply on an antichrist mission to steal, kill and destroy. But the wrath of God is against all manner of wickedness whether done in the body or outside.
So christian or no christain, u will give account. The bible says the punishment of the transgressor and the sinner shall be together.

@Deepzone
The Jehovah's witnesses do not claim the Holy Spirit like u said. They deny him. They refer to him as a force which vanished into thin air after the ministry of the early apostles.
@Rubi and Innocent
You hv spoken my mind. For what is good for brother A may not be good for brother B. It all depends on thier peculiar callings in God. God deals with us in different ways.
David ate the shew bread which was reserved for the priests and God wasnt mad. Someone elso could do the same and die on the spot.
Abraham looked at the same city that Lot was commanded not to and didnt become a pillar of salt.
That pastor Chris has his hair well done dosnt mean that pastor Kumuyi can do the same. He could do so and be condemned to hell at the end.
Every true christian should cultivate a lively relationship with the Holy Spirit. If that happens, questions such as whether one should walk in a brewry or not wouldnt come up bc u aught to have been led to even apply for the job. Be led of the Spirit. That's d key.

@AKO
Hw many times will u be told that his name isnt Christopher but Christian. The first person i heard callin him Christopher in public ws Chris Okotie. Why don't u tk correction frm those who r close to the man n hv knwn him for several years.
Haba! if they lie about other things, will they also lie about his name?

Hissessss n logs off. . .

Crocodile, Elephant, Monkey, bush rat, pigeon, dog.
That's what u get when u hv a 1st class animal science degree holder as a dad.

As far as he ws concerned, everything's edible as long as it aint poisonous. He also wsnt dat much of a practicing Xtian. Hwever, I tried d last on d list out of curiousity as i hd some friends then who talked about hw gud it ws to have it with a bottle of palm wine n unripe plantain.

I heard about a Ghanaian in England who's nighbour gave him a cat as a present (dont remember if it ws 4 his bday) but later called the police after he ate the cat that was given to him.
I hrd cats r a delicacy there dont knw hw true.

One is included in the other. Heaven is a geographical location in the kingdom of God which has members in heaven and on earth. Those who believe therefore are citizens of heaven. Even though they live here on earth (physically), they also live in and function from the kingdom of God.
Isnt it marvelous that this same kingdom of God resides within every believer in Christ?
However, the extent to which he/she influences his/her world with what he/she has within is a function of revelation knowledge.
. . . Thy kingdom come oh Lord.

Now don't misunderstand this. Many know how to pray but not many know how to recieve.
That is why Jesus ended his story with the saying 'however, when the son of man is come, shall he find faith in d earth? He knew that some, because of his message might want to go on a begging spree.

To get admission into d university, prayer n fasting; to go through d university, prayer and fasting; to get a job, prayer and fasting; even to keep the job, prayer and fasting. As if God is one meeean, stingy father with aradite hands. Hey come on! Ask and receive, that your joy may be full!

Someone cld pray a prayer of faith like 'May it not rain in Jesus name Amen' when preparing for an outreach meeting when he shld hv actually stayed on his knees in prayer of petition and supplication until God answers as some others need d rain. He will hv to cm wth strong reasons; put forth his arguments.
You knw some people think Elijah just woke up one mornin n siad rain ok stop. But the book of James tells us what happened. . . He prayed an effectual, fervent, earnest, heartfelt prayer.
Also, when you pray for the lost, you r actually wrestling 4 souls by the power of God's Spirit.
All men hv bn saved legally by Christ's redemption, Bt it's our responsibility to pray the Lord of the harvest 2 move on their hearts 2 receive d gospel n 2 send labourers into d field for harvest. We pray that the Word will proceed with power and bring life to the hearers.

Whatsoever is born of God overvcometh the world. That is what the critics havent yet learnt.
We did not send ourselves, we were sent and the Spirit is working with us. It is evident. That's why i've learnt to ignore them and just keep shinning my light hallelujah!

Which of u hs watched The Spirit and the dove?
You see, its these things which they believe. . . those idols and misintepretations and that choke the Word and make them do and say what they do and say. We cn only pray that they come to full knowledge and mature. Then they'll no longer hate u, for they'll see the same glory which u now see because they know what you know.

Uuhh ha! There u go

Funny?? Well i think d guy's got himself a role model.
. . . a gud and blessed 1 @dat. <smiling>.
Sorry i hd 2 use dat. . . I'm browing on my Nokia E61i. Dont seem to find the icons here.

God is everywhere but his manifested presence is not everywhere.

You guys are jokin here. You do not know who u r talking about. All things in heaven and earth wher made by him and for him and by him they hold together even till this day.
His Work is perfect and all his ways are just.
May God spare you the terror of his presence when he shows up as judge of all @ his second coming and you are assembled to give account of all your words and deeds.
