The Sermon


A little girl became restless as the preacher's sermon dragged on and on. Finally, she leaned over to her mother and whispered, "Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?"

     This is not a concession I ever thought I'd make, having always argued that our problems are caused by atrocious political leadership, but I'm now convinced that this is not the whole picture. For our gullibility (and our willingness to ignore the obvious) is almost unmatched elsewhere. Take the emergence of so-called "churches". These, to any rational observer, are clearly criminal enterprises run by snake-oil salesmen, who care as much about the teachings of Christ as an Innuit does about Tutankhamen's nappies. Yet, although many of their followers are dirt-poor, they don't mind "challenging God" with huge, regular "tithes." And not even the obscenely palatial mansions and private jets acquired with their "tithes" are enough to raise any scintilla of doubt the true purposes of these "tithes."

Alas, duplicity and cunning are considered heroic virtues by our people.

You didn't brother to go to the link but when we share a testimony , you will demand for proof. See how your bias has landed you into wrong judgement . You have become partakers of another mans sin.you guys should repent.  Let's preached the gospel to sinners .

1 Timothy 5:22
22 . . . .neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. 

1 Peter 4:15
15 But let none of you suffer. . [ as] an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

See, no one needs to crucify the damned - they do the job all by themselves. Told you that cup is about full. Soon, more will be exposed.

WHY I WILL NOT STOP GIVING TO THE WORK OF GOD (part 1)

Giving is a general law, both in the spiritual and in the physical realm, it is a lay down principle of prosperity in the life of man. I know so many people has issues with giving. Some give to beggars and some to their families alone. Some give to friends for the sake of friendship, some give to those they love or someone they have feelings for. All these are good, but the important factor one will consider in giving is the reason behind the giving (i.e why do you make a giving?).

Giving to the poor or a beggar does not remove him from his present situation or neither does it change his poverty or beggarly mind set. Because there is nothing you will give to a boor man or a beggar that will satisfy him. A beggar is always a beggar until his mind is renewed from that of a beggar to a mindset of a just. The bible talk about a man as a result of his mind. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you” Prov. 23:7.

Now, there are so many ways a man can get rich in our world today, but not all kind of riches are from God. The only way a man can get rich from God is first believe in the existence of God and then must understand the principle of giving to God’s work on earth. God’s word must be preached and heard all over the world. This can only be done by financing the spread of his gospel. Wow,  what a place to lay down my finance.

Now look at it, if a common giving to the poor or a beggar, brings a blessing, think about giving to God’s work, what kind of blessing do you expect? If God is real according to his word from the bible, and from all the outstanding testimonies we have read about from his written word, then who am i that i cant give to the growth and spread of his gospel. Look at this scripture bellow:

(Luke 8:3 (King James Version)
3And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
Remember that God does not use dollars($) in heaven neither does he use pound(£) or naira(N) so you don't expect God to start sending money from heaven to finance his church. But the mystery of giving to God’s work on earth is simply the a way of contacting spiritual blessing in order to attract or activate the physical blessings God has for us.

As a Born Again Christian, i have first lived a life before this, and i know all what i did in the past. The truth i cant any other life ex-where, only in Christ.
In conclusion, giving is a choice, and also a life style. You can decide as a choice, and you can live it as a life. But if you don't believe in it, then don't discourage others.

Romans 14:1-12 (King James Version)
1Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
2For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
3Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
4Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
7For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
9For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
10But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
11For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

She was paralysed from the waist down when a drink driver ploughed into her car on Christmas Day in 1987.

Then this year, during a visit to a British spiritual healer, Delia Knox suddenly stood up and walked.

And the 46-year-old has been walking ever since.

And a few verses later in Acts 11:21 we read, "And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord."  This is Biblical repentance,  acknowledging one's guilt of sin and turning to the Lord for forgiveness.

Repentance and faith are inseparable. In the Gospel of John, the word “believe” is mentioned 85-times; but the word “repent” is never mentioned even once. This clearly evidences that the sinner who believes on the Lord for salvation has also repented.

You can't turn to the Savior for forgiveness of sins without turning your back against sin (not the literal forsaking of the act of sin, but a realization of one's having violated God's holy Law and deserves punishment in Hellfire).

If this were true, then no one could be saved because we are all sinners incapable of ceasing from sin. Even the best of Christians still commit sin! Believers shouldn't commit any sins; but the fact of the matter is that we all do.

Joagbaje:
It's the holy spirit that convict the world of sin. A man that is unsaved is dead and blind. But through the word of God , the holy spirit opens a man up to see the need for a saviour. Then he embrace life.
