fyneboi79: two weeks ago I got ministered τ̲̅ȍ by a pastor τ̲̅ȍ give my life τ̲̅ȍ Christ as heaven and earth is real.I listened but was still sceptical about giving my life τ̲̅ȍ christ.That same period I met this lady I had been fornicating with some three years back and we exchanged numbers and began chatting again on whatsapp.she has money now,real money and she even promised τ̲̅ȍ give me all I wanted as long as I remained hers for good.Something just didn't seem right though.then last week I had a dream where I saw people jumping down from a ten storey building but when Į̸̸̨ƭ got τ̲̅ȍ my turn I refused τ̲̅ȍ jump.I told a pastor dis dream and he interpreted Į̸̸̨ƭ as a commitment I'm about τ̲̅ȍ make which may claim my chance of salvation.I put things together and knew immediately what Į̸̸̨ƭ was.So I told the lady I was •̸№t interested in what she had τ̲̅ȍ offer and I would rather follow Jesus Christ at this point in my life and then I went back τ̲̅ȍ the pastor and said my acceptance prayers and let go every atom of bitterness against my fellow man.

shdemidemi: Mr man, why don't you open your bible to check for yourself.

Anything you don't understand is of demons, you have become the 'all knowing' of this forum.

If you are not sure of your salvation, you are not different from that muslim guy or the hindu guy for the only thing that separate believers of Christ from all religion is the assurance and the hope that our soul which we have committed unto him he will keep.

God remains faithful and he can never deny himself. The best a man can be is a man, man can fail, disappoint but God remains loyal to His word.

He says believe in the gospel of Christ and you shall be saved, this is where we stand as Christians. What many Christians don't realise is that there would be judgement for the sons of God too. It won't be a judgement to condemnation but a judgement for merits.

I'm not sure you have enough context to make such sweeping comments about the church itself, not without some insider information. To arrive at such conclusions purely based on the reports and hearsay is overreaching.

Clearly if this is true then there are deficiencies, but it may not be as you perceive it to be.

If, as you say, materialism is the church's biggest flaw, one would have expected the pastor to be accused of embezzlement, not sexual immorality. In general, sexual immorality thrives in an atmosphere of permissiveness - one in which anything goes. I'm not convinced you've presented any evidence of this, although it may exist.

Be Still...[/size]

Be still my soul, be still my soul
Cease from the labor and the toil
Refreshing springs of peace awaits
To troubled minds and hearts that ache

Be still my soul, God knows your ways
And He will guide for His Name sake
Plunge in the rivers of His grace
Rest in the arms of His embrace

Be still my soul, be still my soul
Though troubles round you rage and row
One thing you need and nothing more
To hear the whisper of His voice

[size=16pt]Be still my child, I know your ways
And I will guide for my Name sake
Plunge in the rivers of my grace
Rest in the arms of my embrace
[/size]
Be still my soul, God knows your ways
And He will guide for his Name sake
Plunge in the rivers of His grace
Rest in the arms of His embrace

Tgirl4real: I support it100%.

Se you don't want the world to end ni.

These are prophecies being fulfilled.

Make America attack, Russia retaliate, everything turn to yam-pepper, scatter, scatter. lol


Seriously, if that happens, we are in for a showdown.

"I see the Son of man coming in the cloud of heaven..."


Come Lord Jesus!

Tgirl4real: In as much as this thread is not about COZA, I would like to ask what tithe got to do with this @ Drummaboy.

I'm surprised you see the issue more from the tithe - "I have arrived" angle rather grace for lawlessness angle.

When you mention the extremes, legalism, I was expecting the second aspect to be lawlessness cos those are the 2 extremes. You can't call legalism/works and tithe as too extremes when talking about grace.

I hope you get my point.

Drummaboy:

Now inching closer to COZA: The biggest challenge facing the church in our nation is that we are bedeviled by two false doctrines: the holiness doctrine that leads to legalism and confusing grace with works; and the materialistic one that teaches money, money and money - and that is fueled by the false teaching on tithe.

Tgirl4real: Why on earth should I be punished for things the devil made me do?


The devil should be made to account for all the things he has made man do.



ermmm...I'm just being cheesy o. But hey, we can discuss it na.

shdemidemi: Madam, that scripture ends at 'There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus' in the original manuscript and most translations end it as that. There are a lot of people who claim to be Christians, and I'm not saying they're not. But they can't buy this. They say there is no such thing as this kind of security. You've got to work and you've got to strive and you have to be careful or you're going to lose it.

See it this way "How are you going to know what sin cast you out?" they won't know. So what do they have to do? They have to live a life of perpetual insecurity because no one has the wherewithal to hang on of our own. Back to this scripture "There is therefore...." Because we've been justified by faith, because Christ has died and been buried and has risen from the dead. Because all of this has been accomplished by an act of God to which we contributed nothing of our own energy. There was nothing in all of that, that we could do in the flesh. It was all the work of God. And that being the case, that we're justified by faith, which is something that is invisible, it's something that you don't work at.

Deuteronomy 2:1 Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days. 2 And the LORD spake unto me, saying, 3 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. 4 And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore: 5 Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession. 6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink. 7 For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

2Corinthians 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him...13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works...19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. 20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face... 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and unclothedness. 28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?

1 Peter 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

3 John 9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. 11 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

1 Timoth 5:1 Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; 2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity

Matthew 21:12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.

tejpot:

May God grant all more grace. And I pray that all
internet connection shall be quickened thru grace so that all can fully
participate and be blessed.

Bidam:

A prayer for the grace convention.

Utterance, a door of UTTERANCE is what we need. Not artistic
arrangement of words. Though good, but an effectual door of utterance is
our need. Lord grant us utterance. Deliver us from deafness and
dumbness; from oratory. May we be quick to hear and slow to speak. May
our words be loaded with grace. May our conversations be
heavenly.

idnoble135: Hum....
Great initiative, great vision.
I can only believe that God's will, will be done.
@Organizers, having stayed a bit in the religious section, am
inquisitive to know if the "messages" will be previewed before being
posted to present a balanced and all embracing message?

thehomer: Are non-Christians invited?

Ajibam: Looking forward to this..may the lord enrich and bless the heart of The speakers...

God bless The Organisers For this great Vision that will call us back to the grace He willingly gave Us

Goshen360: Once again, Congratulations to our newly appointed moderators.

Thank you and Grace be multiply unto you through the 'knowledge' of the finished works of Christ and Him Crucified.

HumbledbYGrace: Noted....sir.

Pastor Kun: Really looking forward to this convention, it is going to be the start of new and greater things that would emerge from NL religion section and through it by the grace of God a new revival would start in the Nigerian christian community and our christian brethen would come to appreciate the saving grace of our lord Jesus christ better thereby being set free of the burden fellow men placed on them in the name of religion whilst still being responsible God fearing christians.

I feel privileged and give glory to God that I have been opportuned to be a part of this revival and I pray that God directs me and all other presenters as we share his truth and bring others to a better understanding of the true gospel of our lord Jesus Christ.
