This is a cry of a jobless Nigerian youth.

Not to rely on the normal 9-5 job which I have been seeking, I have learnt soft digital skills like Copywriting, Digital Marketing, Domain Flipping. But these are not generating revenue for me because I hardly have jobs to apply them. In the case of domain flipping, to make sale is not a child's play. I have used my little money to have a portfolio of 6 domains but sales are not coming even with aggressive outbounding.

May be coding would have been different but I can't afford a laptop.

I'm afraid of the situation! I'm afraid of the hunger and starvation!! I'm afraid of my future!!! I'm just afraid!!!!

Good to learn from it but this was copied from another source...nit ur real story.

This happened to someone I know and not u. So,next time always say "copied" okay?

I don't understand
Because it happened to someone you know means it can't happen to others?

Please I need your advice on relocating to IFE with a family of 4.
What area to stay and business opportunity in the town

Ever heard of Damico? The electricity there is excellent and the environment is relatively quiet. The large student population in Ife also makes the place good for business. The most popular ones are food-related businesses, hotel biz, clothes biz, etc. Eleweran also has light and is quiet. If you have a car, I'd advise you to check there cos it's not too close to any campus, so you won't have disturbance from noisy students.

Kobojunkie:
If you are on the right track as far as Jesus Christ then how come you don't seem to know the Truth as taught by Jesus Christ Himself? I think one of the most unfortunate would be tp spend one's life following the religions of men only to end up with nothing tangible to show for it even at the end, a fate that always many religious folks at the end. I keep asking why you don't currently have evidence beyond mere words because Jesus Christ Himself said all those who are born-again have undeniable evidence given to them when they are born of Spirit.

Are you born of the Spirit? And if yes, what's your evidence?

Kobojunkie:
1. Those works are instead works done in righteousness which only those who are already first holy should bother doing; when such works are done while one is still unrighteous, one's sin taint all such works done rendering it filthy and hence an unacceptable abomination to God - Isaiah 64 vs 1 - 6.

2. Through knowing the truth-continuous submission and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of God. As Jesus Christ made clear it is by knowing the truth that one is then set free from slavery to sin by the Truth of God - John 8 vs 31 - 36.

3. What confirmation do you have that you are indeed born-again?

4. First, by what Law did you Judge your own sinlessness? Recall that sin is disobedience of God's commandments hence a transgression of His Law. Can you mention for instance particular sins which you no longer commit.

Second, according to Jesus Christ,it is the Father who will give the Holy Spirit to those who He deems ready for it, meaning praying is not the decider. This since God does not answer the prayer of the unrighteous .

Third, what about the first Helper?

Lol
I'm tired of going in circles with you jare
You're not a judge or one who can decide whether or not I'm saved. I know I'm on the right track. Shalom.

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ said to seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) and God's righteousness so that all these things— Heaven included— shall be added unto you. That is what He said we are all to do even as born-agains.

So, do answer me then
■ What charity work?
■Meditating on What word?
■Abstaining from breaking what commandments?

What have you been engaging in to render you able to no longer commit sin?

In Matthew 25: 32-36, Jesus specifically told the 'sheep' gathered before him that they could enter God's Kingdom because of their charity work

In your opinion how does one seek the Kingdom of God exactly?

After I repented and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, I proceeded to ask for the Holy Spirit to come into me. I wasn't sinning before I asked, and I haven't sinned since then. Additionally, I carryout various activities to edify my soul on a daily basis. So tell me what I've been doing wrong all-knowing one

Kobojunkie:
1. What exact words would those be though? I didn't ask you for my exact words. Notice, I have only mentioned Jesus Christ's own teachings to you in this.

2. What charity work? Meditating on What word? Abstaining from breaking what commandments?

3. Not according to Jesus Christ, it ain't! See, you keep feeding me religious scripts — scripts you probably obtained from listening to the doctrines and traditions of mogs and pastors —, expecting me to somehow be pacified by that, why?

SMH
Okay, enlighten me all-knowing one

What is God's Truth and how does a born-again person enter Heaven?

Kobojunkie:
1. Look, it is easy to conclude that anyone who questions the veracity of your claims to a particular God is out to demean you in some way but the fact is I am not the least concerned about all of that as my focus remains on the Truth of God in this. Paul said of this, "Let God be true and all men liars!" All I have said on this is so you go back and review what you can to hold on against the Truth of God so you are at least certain that the God you serve is in fact the God of scripture, and not maybe Allah or the over 40000 others out there in the world. You cannot say you serve Jesus Christ when most everything you say contradicts His Truth in one way or another, right?

How did I contradict His Truth? Because I didn't use your exact same words?

A born-again person becomes a citizen of the kingdom of God and needs to do charity work while continuously meditating on the Word, as well as abstaining from breaking the commandments. Isn't that how one gets qualified to enter Heaven?

Kobojunkie:
1. Did you also notice that the details in question happen to be that stated by God Himself suggesting that I have nothing to do with how you feel in the end about this?

Following all you have said so far as far as your "conversion", we have two scenarios
○ Your conversion is true and God is a Liar
○ Your conversion is indeed not of God as His Word remains two

It can't be both, as you can obviously see.

Okay

Kobojunkie:
1. We are all of us sinners when we first become born-again. However, those who then go on to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness) and God's Righteousness... eventually find Holiness---sinlessness---a situation where their sin debt is all paid off). As Jesus Christ said, the only way to this is through continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ - John 8 vs 31 - 37.

If you don't alway know all of this, how exactly did you earn for yourself this status of sinlessness, the Holy Spirit and even the fruits of the Spirit which you claim to have? This scenario reads somewhat of an individual boasting of having a college degree without any real knowledge or works to back up the claim.

You're very particular about details and come off as a person who likes making others feel stupid/ignorant, so I'd rather not go into details about my conversion. Thanks for explaining.

Kobojunkie:
1. It is ambiguous since I am not clear where your definitions of what amounts to sin come from. You need to fill me in as far as the standard of sin by which you proclaim you do not commit sin.

2. But are you aware though that not everyone remains a debtor as those who go on to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness) and God's righteousness eventually clear up their sin debts in order to become righteous in the sight of God?

Please explain 2

Kobojunkie:
1. Here's a direct question--- what do you mean when you say you walk in light? The Light as specified by Jesus Christ is God's Constitutional Law and Truth in the Kingdom of God. So to say one lives by or walks according to Him means living one's life continues submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ--- John 8 vs 31 - 36 --- meaning one is in fact seeking first the Kingdom of God(holiness) as instructed by Jesus Christ.

2. And this is another problem. Notice how in the entirety of John 3 vs 1 - 21, Jesus Christ never once mentioned sin nor that those who are born-again no longer commit sin. Being born-again has nothing to do with sinlessness(holiness) nor does it infer one no longer has a sin debt. Rather, as Jesus Christ instead explained to be born again simply means one is born of water and born of spirit. And this along with the evidence of this Jesus Christ clearly reveals inthe context of John 3 vs 1 - 21.

P.s. - All those who will have and end in Hellfire - eternal damnation-- will be born-agains as well. This is since Jesus Christ made clear that only born-agains can gain access into the Kingdom of God either through the Broad gate or the Narrow gate. And we know that the broad gate leads to destruction aka Hellfire - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46.

1. Is the statement 'I do not commit sin' somehow ambiguous?

2 I know every born again person/believer is a debtor

I'm done arguing. Good night

Kobojunkie:
1.

I don't know why you keep ignoring the place where I'm saying I walk in the light. I AM BORN AGAIN AND DO NOT COMMIT SIN. I am also filled with the Holy Ghost. I believe the Entire Bible, and not only selected parts of it like you.

Kobojunkie:
1. I didn't mean that as a lecture but instead a reminder of what scripture in fact says is the Truth of God.

2. If you know this for a fact then it is likely what you cling to is not even of scripture, and definitely not of the same God revealed in the pages of scripture. Again, if you don't have the evidence that Jesus Christ said everyone who is born of spirit has, then clearly, you are not born again and the spirit you claim you have is not of Jesus Christ is He does not even conform to that declared by Jesus Christ Himself.

Finally, to claim one has the Holy Spirit in fact means one has two Spirits living on the inside of one, not just one, since Jesus Christ described the Holy Spirit as another Helper sent by the Father. So if you are unable to confirm that there are indeed two Spirits inside of you, then surely you know what you claim isn't of Jesus Christ.

Galatians 5: 22-23 clearly tells us the things that a person will enjoy once the Holy Spirit of God possesses them, and I can confidently say that I have them

1 Corinthians 12:3 also has Paul the Apostle of Jesus telling us that it is impossible to proclaim that Jesus is Lord unless one is possessed by the Holy Spirit.

And concerning John 3:21, I already said that I walk in the light, not by my own power or self-control, but the through the Helper that strengthens me.

If you choose to believe parts of the scripture, that's your business. I believe ALL of it.

Kobojunkie:
1. First off Jesus Christ never said that being born-again has anything to do with change in countenance or temperament, so the idea that you change into something else after you become born-again is not of scripture.

Also, in accordance with scripture,
▪︎ God urged all those who will belong to Him to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness), and His righteousness, in order that all these things-- the benefits and blessings of the Kingdom of God --- can be added as a result.
▪︎ one who is not first Holy cannot have or engage the Holy Spirit.
▪︎ God does not anwer the prayers of the unrighteous as their every plea/requests/petitions are made filthy by their sins and hence an abomination to God

So if what you claim is indeed true of God, what you are saying is God lied in scripture.

2. As for the evidence, as I said Jesus Christ revealed it in what He said of those who are born of Spirit in John 3 vs 5 - 14 something He also alluded to in John 4 vs 4 - 15 .

Thank you for the lecture all-knowing one. I know for a fact that it is the Holy Spirit that is in me and I know the actions that led to it. Thanks once again for shedding light on the gospel. Take care

Kobojunkie:
1. Are you currently possessed as is stands by a Spirit whom you have no control over but wields control over you instead?

Name one of the activities the spirit causes you to engage in by His power over you?

As I said earlier, the evidence is not of the mental kind.

I genuinely asked the Holy Spirit to come into me and it did. I used to be an introvert and couldn't look people in the eye while speaking, but now I'm bold, I'm calmer and more at peace with the world around me. I like helping people more now, and my instincts are sharper too. I also understand things better now

What's your own evidence?

Kobojunkie:
1. Jesus Christ did not mention your "fruits of the Spirit" in John 3 vs 1-21.

Okay. The light is in me. I don't do things in darkness.

Kobojunkie:
1. In the entirety of the explanation given by Jesus Christ in John 3 vs 1 - 21, there is no mention of speaking in tongues as evidence of being born-again.

2. Filled with what spirit? You have evidence that was revealed by Jesus Christ in John 3 vs 1 -21 but you don't want to state it? If Jesus Christ already revealed what it is, why the shame in revealing it for what it is?

3. I just do.

I edited the mention. Pls read again

Kobojunkie:
1. No, first make certain you are born again before you think it OK to preach to anyone out there. Do you have evidence to back up your mental claim that you are born-again or are you of the mind that all it takes is mental assent to be born-again? According to Jesus Christ, those who are born-again have evidence of it that even those who are around them cannot deny. Do you have that evidence? And no, it is not of the mental at all.

Are you referring to speaking in tongues? Or the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit?
Yes, I'm born again and spirit-filled. And yes, I have evidence, which I don't really want to share here

On a side note, why do you always use that emoji?

Ourtruth247:
Eating meat, eggs and dietary lowers the consciousness of a soul and pulls it closer to the third dimension, especially so for a soul that is ignorant and unaware.

However, it doesn't mean that anyone that eats meat won't be able to increase their consciousness.

If you do all the other things I've suggested, like not harming people deliberately, showing genuine love to others, avoiding a promiscuous lifestyle, staying away from alcohol, not praying to any God, and honestly searching for the truth, then the effect of eating meat won't be significant enough to hamper your spiritual growth.

What are people supposed to eat then?

Kobojunkie:
1. Was Jesus Christ also speaking as an unbeliever would when He informed His disciples not to give the Gospel to the non-Israelites - Matthew 7 vs 6 -- explaining that He came to call the sinners -- the lost sheep of Israel-- and no one else?
Was Jesus Christ being deceitful when He proclaimed that He came to call only those who are weary and heavy laden- Matthew 11 vs 28 - 30 ?

Jesus Christ did not go around offering Himself to everyone, so why would you expect me to go against Jesus Christ in this?

Op did to state that He wants Jesus Christ or that Jesus Christ is what He believes He must have. And Jesus Christ never offered Himself as a solution to the petty worldly problems of men, so I see no reason why anyone should shove Jesus Christ as something that He made clear He is not.

Alright. In summary, don't preach to everyone

Kobojunkie:
1. You would have to explain exactly how I type like an unbeliever.

In my initial post, the one you first mentioned, I asked the Op to invite Jesus into his life. Perhaps I should have phrased it like 'look unto the Lord for help', since you are very particular about semantics. Anyway, you made a sarcastic remark asking if Jesus would offer him a job

Kobojunkie:
1. I trust and obey Jesus Christ aka God's Constitutional Law in the Kingdom of God -- God's Nation of Priests- Exodus 19 vs 6.

2. I am born-again--- born of the Spirit of Eternal Life aka possessed by Him. Jesus Christ said all those who are born-again would have Eternal Life(the spirit which they would be born of) - John 3 vs 1 - 21.

According to Jesus Christ, the Spirit of Truth aka the Holy Spirit comes in only after one is set free from slavery to sin through continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ - John 8 vs 31 - 36 after which one goes on to be inhabited by the Spirit of Truth -- John 14 vs 15 - 25 - the another Helper from the Father.

So why do you usually type like you're an unbeliever?

Kobojunkie:
1. Let me answer the second question first!

So what do you believe in Kobo?
Are you spirit-filled? Do you believe in the Holy Spirit's power?

Kobojunkie:
Just throwing this out at this point to you.

God says it is His Israel that He has made this agreement — New Covenant and Kingdom—with. I have shown you scripture where God unannounced this plan in the beginning and He made this known severally through His Prophets —Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, David, etc. Then Jesus Christ, the agreement that was prophets to the House of Jacob arrived and made known to you that He in fact did come to the House of Israel just as God said He would. Are you somehow telling me that the words of mere men can, in your mind, overturn the decrees made by God Himself or something?

1. Why you actually believe Paul — one who claimed to be a disciple of Jesus Christ — would somehow contravene/overhaul the very Law of God Himself, Jesus Christ, is beyond me. Anywho, as for what is written in Galatians 4
What is saying here is also pretty much the same as that taught by Jesus Christ in John 8 vs 31 - 36 where Jesus explains that those who are set free from slavery to sin by Him are no longer slaves but Sons of God. And it also is also similar to the message carried by John the apostle in 1 John 2 vs 1 - 6 where John focused on whether one had the Truth of God — Jesus Christ with them or not — depending on if one obeyed that mandated by Jesus Christ in John 8 vs 31 or not.

Ask yourself this:
If God could give the men of old, those before Jesus, the revelation of what was to come, what makes you think that he didn't reveal to others after Jesus that we can become adopted people of God? Why should we take some things in the Bible as true and others as false? Doesn't make sense. If you reject one thing, might as well reject everything.

Kobojunkie:
1. I think you made a mistake in you didn't read correctly. Jesus Christ came to offer Salvation from sins to the Lost sheep of Israel. Jesus Christ expects all the Lost sheep of Isreal who believe in HIm to obey His commandments in order to be saved.

2. Jesus Christ said He was sent by the Father only to the Lost sheep of Israel of which the Jews are a part.

3. Both Epistles you quote from were written by men who swore allegiance to Jesus Christ — they state in their letters that they trust and obey Jesus Christ— surely, you do not expect them to go against Jesus Christ to assert that Salvation belonged also to those Jesus Christ clearly pointed out were dogs and not sheep?

The Kingdom belongs to Jesus Christ and He is the Constitutional Law and Truth in God's Nation of Priests - Exodus 19 vs 6 - which God made clear from the beginning He would build from the children of Israel. No man, not even Paul, or John, and not Jesus Christ can change that which God Himself has decreed.

Read Galatians 4 vs 5

Kobojunkie:
Scripture tells us the following:

■ Prior to the coming of Jesus Christ, those who were under covenant with God were the Israelites; the rest of the world was excluded by God from that agreement which is, in fact, the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan, given by God to only the people of Israel alone - Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20
■ In Deuteronomy 32 vs 7-9 God announced that His only inheritance in the Land of men is Israel implying that He will deal directly with the Israelites and Israelites alone.
■ Sin is defined by God's Law, and sin refers to direct disobedience of God's commandments and/or teachings stipulated in God's Law
■ Therefore, at the time of Jesus Christ's coming, the sinners of the world were, in fact, the sinners of the Law of Moses, the same ones Jesus Christ said the Father sent Him to — the Lost sheep of Israel - Matthew 15 vs 24 & Matthew 10 vs 6 - 7 & Matthew 7 vs 6
■ This all means that those who live outside of the Law of Moses were not sinners since only those under Law are able to commit sin against God; Recall that sin is direct disobedience of God's commandment and hence transgression of His Law. Rather they are simply unbelievers aka Pagans

Now to what John wrote in his epistle, What John is particularly saying in verse 2 -6 has to do with what Jesus Christ taught His followers in John 8 vs 31 - 36
According to Jesus Christ — God's Truth, the only way to overcome slavery to sin is through continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments — God's Truth in the Kingdom of God. I had explained to someone earlier on that we are expected by way of self-discipline and self-control to live our lives in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Truth , and Constitutional Law in the Kingdom of God. And as Jesus Christ made clear it is only by knowing the Truth — living continuously accepting and obeying His Gospel — that we are then set free from slavery to sin by knowing of the Truth, to be eventually transformed into Sons of God.
John's pretty much saying that if we do as Jesus Christ has instructed then the Truth works through us, but if we don't do as Jesus Christ instructs, then we are liars and the Truth of God is not working at all in us to help us rid our sin debt and gain freedom from sin.

P.S. Jesus Christ is the Truth of God - John 14 vs 6

You just admitted that Jesus expects us ALL to obey his commandments and be saved. So what's with the argument about him only accepting Jews? 1 John 2:2 and 1st Corinthians 15 tell us that anyone who believes and obeys God's word will be saved

Kobojunkie:
1. That verse instead reveals that God's healings are not restricted to only those who are of the Kingdom of God — those to whom God in fact sent Jesus Christ to - Matthew 15 vs 24.

2. In Genesis 2 vs 6 - 7, it was explained that the totality of man — mind, body, and soul— was made from the clay of this earth. After which God then breathed some of His very own life in to animate the already created man. That same breath is the breath that God breathed into viruses and amoebas - Genesis 6 vs 15. It returns to God at the death of each creature. So, when Hitler died, Hitler's mind, body, and soul degraded back down into clay from which it was made whereas the breath of God which never belonged to Hitler in the first place, went back o God. Hitler, the man did not go to God since he was never with God from his beginning.

3. If Hitler was never in fact born-again, his punishment is as declared by God from the beginning which is from dust he was made and to dust he shall return - Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22. Only those who are born again, who enter into the Kingdom of God as a result of obtaining eternal life from Jesus Christ can have an end in the place of eternal damnation as stated by Jesus Christ Himself in John 3 vs 1 - 21 & Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46.

Exactly. God's healings aren't restricted to Jews alone. We can all benefit from it

I'm just wondering why you still haven't explained 1 John 2: 2

Kobojunkie:
1. Here's some facts

■ The term Jews is used in scripture to refer to the people of the Nation of Judea who were mainly the descendants of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi
■ Samaritans were also Israelites but are descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh
■ Non-Jewish aka gentiles was used in reference to Israelites who were of foreign birth i.e. mating between an Israelite and a foreigner. The term is also used as a blanket term to refer to all those of the Nation of Israel who were cursed and scattered by God during the time of Nebuchadnezzar.

I indicate all this to say that Jesus Christ was not lying when He said in Matthew 15 vs 24 that the Father in Heaven sent Him only to the Lost sheep of Israel, and not to the dogs — the non-Israelites. When Jesus Christ sent His disciples only to those he described as the lost sheep of Israel in Matthew 10 vs 5 - 6, warning them not to give that which is Holy to the dogs in Matthew 7 vs 6, Jesus Christ was in fact speaking the Truth of God.

2. After death? Those who do not have eternal life —Jesus Christ— along with the unbelievers perish in their graves aka cease to exist according to God's judgment from the beginning — from dust, you were made and to dust you shall return - Genesis 3 vs 19 - 22. And God's breath of life which He equally breathed into all living creatures returns back to God at their death.

Those who have eternal life on the other hand sleep in their graves awaiting the day of resurrection of all of Israel when Jesus Christ will raise them all.

Matthew 15:28 is very important in the new testament because Jesus demonstrated that non-Jewish people can receive mercy or favor from God as well if they are of great faith

The breathe returns to God, yes. But do you honestly think someone like Hitler will return to God to be one with him again?
You honestly think there will be no punishment for evil doing? Oh and explain 1 John 2:2 then.

Kobojunkie:
1. Jesus Christ said He is available only to those whom the Father sent Him to, and not to all out there. While we like to hate the endless cycle of consumerism and commerce, consider also that some love it and have no problems with it and there is a reason why they should be allowed to.

1 John 2:2
And he is the propitiator for our sins; and not for ours only; but also for the sins of the whole world

Plus there are many instances in the Bible where Jesus healed/saved non-Jewish people

You didn't answer my question about what you think happens after death. Surely you know that energy is needed to animate a body and energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It just takes a different form. So what are your thoughts?

Kobojunkie:
1. Invite Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ said He came to cure the world of foolishness and find them better jobs?

Jesus is light and offers peace and the Bible describes the Holy Spirit as the Comforter. Invite it. You've got nothing to lose.

Plus think about it. Life has got to be more than an endless cycle of consumerism and commerce. What do you think happens after death?
