[quote author=frank3.16]i saw my self pickin lots of cashew nuts in an uncle's house. this is a man that used to love me and somehow we fell apart (for something i might have said but he didnt tell me, well his wife had a hand), now in the dream it was his house but not an environment i know, besides he wasn't mad at me in the dream, but i rmembr i was uncomfortable around the wife in the dream

pls interpret, tanx[/quote]You have a blessing or blessing coming from this uncle of yours.Picking fruits in the dream connotes blessings.
But I will advice you to give the uncle a call and look for ways to settle with the wife,she might truly be a hindrance.

Tell God that ,since His words says whatever we accept on earth shall be accepted in heaven,I claim the good side of that dream and it shall manifest ,in Jesus name. And I reject every obstacle assigned against the manifestation of that dream, in the name of Jesus.

Christianity is hard if you do not have the Holy Spirit.

But if you have the Holy Spirit,it is as easy as anything.Very very easy.

Without the Holy Spirit,the enemy will molest and very soon,such a person would backslide.

In summary ,it is hard and easy ,depending on your level of holyness and obedience with the commandment of God.The Holy Spirit uses your obedience,holyness and prayer level to come upon you and empower you.

If you are looking for a house of your own with which you can produce a pure water business call me on:

08023719119 or 08172914899

I have a completed house with a drinkable water on a one and half plot of Land at Abule Ijoko ,ogun state.

There is no pure water producer in this area,though they get their supplies from other producers bringing it from outside.

The price is =N= 6,000,000.

The house is a 3 bedroom bungalow with 3 toilets and 2 bathrooms, and everywhere is tilled and every room is more than 12 x 12 .The parlour is 14 X 14, & a dinning room and store and 2 balconies.

pauli coco: Thank u very much, sir. I will obey the word of God. How do I know if a man is a chosen husband sir.

Since God just started with you,it may be by dreams.
If any man proposes to you,tell him that you will pray about it,and that until God gives you an assurance that he is the man for you,he should consider your answer as a NO.

Then pray to God about it and tell God to reveal everything concerning the brother to you. Also pray that the blood of Jesus should clear your spiritual vision.Pray for the Spirit of wisdom and knowledge.
Since Matt 7:7 says we should ask and it shall be given unto us,......So ask God in prayer and He will tell you everything ,even if it is in the dream.

You can ask your pastor to pray along with you.

pauli coco: Can someone advice me on my issue! I am not a virgin and I enjoy sex, but I have made the decision of not having a boyfriend, sexual intercourse, sexual contact or self service until I my wedding night. ?? Please how can I keep myself from temptation? (honest and mature replies pls.)

I hope you have read my advice on ur thread@White garment churches .....

To be frank with you, don't have anything or relationship with any man,until the God that delivered you APPOINTS your husbands to you.He knows your weakness, He will give you a good husband,dont choose and do not accept any, until there is a clear instruction from God.

As long as you are into any relationship not chosen by God,the devil will use it against you.
Remenber ,it is not all those calling Lord,Lord that are Christians. Not every Pastor is will make heaven,talkless of others.

If you have failed after your deliverance to contain yourself,then quickly go for deliverance.Make sure your deliverance is complete or perfect.

The bible says in 1 Cor 6:18 -20"FLEE fornication .Every sin that a man doeth is without the body;but he that committed fornication sinneth against his or her body.What!Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost,which is in you,whuch ye have if God,& ye are not YOUR OWN?For ye are bought with a price :there4 glorify God in YOUR BODY ,& in your spirit WHICH ARE GID'S.

From the above,there are warnings for everyone that:

We should "flee" from fornication.That is; run away from men.At the appointed time .Remember Joseph,how he ran away from the wife of Potiphar.

Another point is that sin of fornication is the greatest sin of all sins.Because it is a sin against one's body.

Also,your body is not your own,but that of the God.

Lastly,for God to use you,you must receive the Holy Spirit into your life,and the Holy Spirit makes use of your body as a temple of God.

I want you to know that Jesus revealed the secret in deliverance to us that ,after a spirit is cast out,it will try to come back ,and if the spirit does not see the Spirit of God in the life of such person,he would go and invite 7 more deadly spirits than him,and the end of that person may be worse than before.May this not be your portion in Jesus name.

That your weakness must be guided by force.The devil knows everyone of us and can discern our weaknesses. The devil is not foolish.his wise, only that he can not give salvation. he will make bad suggestion to you.

Make sure you fast everyday,at least to 12 pm.
Try and attend weekly services.

Do away with your old freind who can lure you back into sin. For the bible says in 2Cor 6:14
" Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:for what felliwship hath righteousness with unrighteousnes?and what communion hath light with darkness?
Whenever the devil suggests anything immoral to you,
remember that the word of God says "I should flee from fornication and that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Always use the word of God and have a bible reading plan.You can start from Genesis and read at least 3 chapters every night b4 sleeping.

Meditate daily on the word of God,as Joshua said in Joshua 1:8 "This book of the Lord( law) shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night ,that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:FOR THEN THOU SHALL MAKE THY WAY PROSPEROUS,& THOU SHALT HAVE GOOD SUCCESS.

Always pray b4 sleeping.

Truly speaking, darkness must hate light with petfect hatred.

And your deliverance shall be permanent in Jesus name.

The bible says in Rev.12:11 "And they overcame by the blood of the Lamb( Jesus Christ) , and by the word of their testimony...."

You have recieved your deliverance through the blood of Jesus,and permanently since you have testified to the goodness of God.

You have just faced the reality of life. The battle line is now drawn.
Know for sure that as Jesus said that when an unclean spirit ( spirit husband ) is gone out of a man or woman,he walketh through dry places,seeking rest,& findeth none, then he would say,I will return from whence I came out,& when he is come he findeth it empty ( without the Holy Spirit ) swept ...".Matt 12:43.
This means the spirit husband will want to stage a come back.

Make sure you recieve the Holy spirit to replace the unclean spirit,so that when he stages a come back,he will not find it empty. The pastor can guide you through that process.

Also,remember that you have to put on the whole armour of God so that you can stand against the wiles of the spirit husband. These armour of God are:
Thruth,righteousness,faith,peace prayers and using the word of God as written in the bible.
Be a prayer addict and read your bible every day especially at night.

Realise that we wrestle not against flesh and blood,but against principalities,against powers,against the rulers of darkness of this world,against spiritual wickedness in high places.

You must now be prayerful and live a complete holy life. No romance with the opposite sxx,no filthy thoughts and words,these are fertilizers for the spirit husband.Pray and God will give you your husband and crown it with blessed children and happy home.

Please don't relax,once more,100 % holyness because God really loves you.
The devil is never happy seeing people delivered.But he has failed completely in your life in Jesus name.

If you have been bearing the title "Dr" ....b4 God called you into His ministry,what difference does it now make if you continue to bear the title Dr.

It is the intention of bearing the title that matters. If is is for bride or ego,God can tell you to drop the title. And if it is to maintain your identity and integrity you had b4 God called you ,it is not a sin,provided you are a broken Christian without any iota of pride in you.

If God calls Professor Wole Soyinka to be His servant today,you expect him to change his name to Pastor Wole Soyinka.
Changing the title does not mean his is changed internally or in the spirit.

When someone is born again,it is an internal change.

God knew those He had predestined to be His servants,and it was by His grace He made them Doctors ,Professors, Lawyers to inform those who might feel they are somebody because of their degrees , or to silence those that might say that Pastors were jobless or nobody b4 going into the work of God.

If makes more sense if a Doctor maintains his title so that he can win souls for God among the literates and the illiterates. The Professors,Doctors,Lawyers scientists etc are mostly proud people and most of them do not see reasons to be serious with God and their salvation.But they might want to listen when they hear messages of God from a Professor like them.

Your titles have nothing to do with the call of God in your life.

I love God for being the creator of evrything and still loving me.

I love God for He is the creator of evrything .

Goshen360: Please I beg of you, don't just take what I say but understand me else, you will be reading me wrongly. I might not meet the standard of men but doesn't mean I'm perfect also.

2. The fact I said I'm 100% of New Testament DOES NOT MEAN I DON'T TEACH FROM THE OLD OR THAT I DON'T STUDY THE OLD. Please don't get me wrong. When Christ said, the law and the prophets are pointing to him, then you understand what that means. I'm New testament teacher, believer or Christian doesn't mean I don't know or study the Old, please. I do and then I bring out the New from the Old because the Old is fulfilled in the New.



You see what I'm talking about? Fornication in that context means WHO.RE....a lady sleeping around. If you ask how many of our Christian sister today, how many of them still hold their virginity? Does that mean they MUST be stoned to death in this age and New Testament? You need to understand what I'm saying, otherwise, you will screw up everything. The context in the verse is fornication BY THE ACT OF WHO.RE.....sleeping around! That's one scriptural meaning of fornication - who.re.



This is an insult to the church of Christ - Christ never used the righteousness of pharisees to set a standard for his church. It is an insult to the church of Christ. Christ is our righteousness. Galatians 2:17, 1 Corinthians 1:30. There's immeasurable wealth in the New Testament & I have found that and I will remain with that. The Grace of Christ is to empower us not to continue to sin, it is not a license to continue to sin.



The very scriptures you quoted says MARRIAGE...what's simple saying is, when MARRIED and you defile the MARRIAGE BED....going outside your marriage bed by having sexx, that is fornication committed by the act adultery.

1 Corinthians 7:9 is also a sin of fornication committed in an act of LUST. You haven't got what I'm saying yet. What the scripture says there is rather than nursing or feeding your LUST PASSION and committing fornication in the process, go and marry, go get yourself a wife. Lust is a range of the sin of fornication.



Thank you for rating ma'am. Okay sorry, I'm a STUDENT of the word and you're right. I will stop calling myself a teacher but go find out if what I'm saying is right or wrong. Then hold fast whatever you have proved to be true. Thanks for the advice and I will be wise but seriously, I'll rate myself at 0% henceforth so I can increase ^

I am a man.

Because you said, you hereby rate yourself 0%,God will surely increase your knowledge and holyness, in the name of Jesus.

You have been doing a great job,and not that only,you are also humble and ready to learn.

I have learnt many things from your threads.And even from your reply, as to the above.

It is a good thing to aspire to be a teacher of the word of God.

A good teacher should be ready to learn everyday ,so as to increase in knowledge.

We are enjoying your teachings but not on this aspect.

The most important is for us to partaker in the marriage feast of the Lord Jesus,and so shall we,in Jesus name.

Thanks.

@Goshen

It is wrong to acclaim your performance,accredit or laud praises on yourself.
No one knows it all.

If you are 100% teacher of the new Testament and 0% teacher of the old testament,you are only but an average teacher. The grasp of your teachings as per the new testament with regards to d issue on fornication, gives you - 15% .So you are left with 35 %,which is a failure. God's standard is 100% . Thou ignorace in the knowledge of the bible does not mean you will not make heaven,but as a self accredited teacher,you are expected to have a good grab of the bible.

You are not expected to know just one part of the bible, but the whole. Jesus said in Matt 5:48 Be thou perfect as my Father in heaven is perfect".

Lets see what the old Testament says concerning fornication in Deu 22:20-21 "But if this thing be true ,& d tokens of VIRGINITY BE NOT FOUND for the damsel:Then they shall bring out d damsel to d door of her fathers house ,& d men of d city shall stone her....to play WHO-RE in her fathers house,so shall thou put evil away from among you".

In Matt 5:20 "For I say unto you,That except ur righteiusness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees,ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven".
So,how do you expect somebody who cannot contain himself and indulges in premarital sex be said to exhibit a higher righteousness above the Pharisees,since the Pharisees do not indulge in premarital sex?
Whether you are under the law or not,Jesus has used the Pharisees to set a benchmark for every Christian.The grace of Jesus expects a greater obidience from Christians.Before Jesus came,you can commit lust,but now it is a sin,talkless of fornication.

New Testament:
Hebrew 13:4 "Marriage is honourable in all, and the BED UNDEFILED. Likewise the 1Cor7:9 "If they cannot exercise self control,they should marry......

Your points show clearly you are not qualified to be a teacher ,though you call yourself one.You are supposed to call yourself a student. No doubt you have sound understanding in some aspect of the bible,but on this issue,it is a minus on the record you have created.
Try and learn from the contributors and ,pls do not engage in fornication ( in case you are not married),for this would give your 100% acclaimed Christianity a 0 %.

I would advice you stop arguing and twisting the bible to suit your stand. It is only a fool that does not change his mind.And I know you are not a fool.

Thanks.

The bible says upon mount zion there shall be deliverance and HOLYNESS and the house of Jacob shall possess its possessions.

If you are an MFM member,you should follow the teachings of the church. In MFM ,no sin,no matter how small. Jesus said be thou perfect as my Father in heaven is perfect.

There is no deliverance for anyone who is having sins ,of any type, in his or her life.

What I mean is this,from your reply to sholey2011, it shows you are not yet ready for God. No matter what he might have said,as a child of God, you do not have to call him an idiot.

This means you are disobeying God,who you are calling on to fight for you.

If you have malice,ungorgiveness,hatred,anger ,pride etc in your life, MFM prayers will not work for you,until you are completely broken and obedient.

People may provoke you,as they did to Jesus,do not allow them to take away your blessings.

I will suggest you do a total check of your life and see where your weaknesses are,then ask God for the forgiveness.

As the head of the home,you should know how to take your wife to the prayer city in Lagos for deliverance,even if it is to involve her parents and narrate everything to them and why you suspect her.Especially her refusal to go on fast and prayer with you.You are a wise man,this should not be of any problem to you.

It is not too much if you go again for deliverance to recieve the power of God in your life. When you fast and pray,you receive more Spiritual Power from God to battle the powers of darkness.

God bless you.

God bless you.

I have some questions to ask,can you send me your email address?

God is a God of love. He gave us His only child that whosoever believes him shall not perish in hell fire ,but shall escape it and have an everlasting life.

God has made a way of escape from hell fire for me and for you,only trust Him and obey Him. Do not harden your heart like the Egyptians idol worshippers who, out of ignorance and unbelief ,sacrificed the lives of all their male first born in one night.

Think,forsake your sin, and escape for your life.

HELL IS REAL , YOU ARE WARNED.DO NOT GO THERE B4 YOU BELIEVE.

Jesus said strait is the gate and narrow is the way that leads unto life,only few there be that find it.

Pastor,God bless you abundatly.

A wise and obedient person would rather think of changing instead of assuming that hell does not exist.

The tomb of Abraham,Isaac and Jacob are still in Israel till today. So I wonder what the physically and spiritually blind archeologists were looking for?

Hell is real,do not fool yourself. The murderers ,the rapists ,fornicators,thieves ,haters of God,witches and wizards etc,shall not escape hell fire.

The bible says in Hosea 4:6" My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:...

I thank God for your life,because you have realised there is a problem.

There is nothing that destroys more than ignorance.

When you were going to marry her,did you put it b4 d Lord? No. That was the mistake.

You have married her, and according to the God who can deliver you,you cannot divorce her.

Matt 5:32" But I say unto you,That whosoever shall put away his wife ,saving for the cause of fornication,causeth her to commit adultery: & whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery."

The only solution is for you and your wife to go for a deliverance.

Problems like this should not be taken for granted.

It is not too late for you to recover all you have lost,provided you can go for deliverance quickly. Even if your wife refuses to go with you,when the power of God comes upon you,all the bad dreams etc, would be things of the past.But you,yourself ,needs the power of God to recover all your lost glory.

1Samuel 30:8 "And David enquired of at the Lord,saying shall I pursue after this troop?shall I overtake them?And he ( Abiathar the priest) answered him,pursue for thou shall surely overtake them,& without fail recover all". So shall it be for you,also,in Jesus name.

Jesus said in Matt 11:12" And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence ,and the violent take it by force".

Be violent in your spirit,seek God with all your heart ,and He shall deliver you.

With this kind of problem,you must give your life to Christ and be genuinely born again.
You must drop any known sins in your life. The powers of darkness use sins as a ladder to useless and molest anyone.
You must now be addicted to prayers and use the word of God along with it.
Read your bible regularly.

Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries is the right place for you to go,if truly you need deliverance.

You must be ready to go on 3 day dry fast and prayers.
Go to the Prayer City on any monday, Pastors are there to minister to you.The program is from Monday to Friday of every week.

After your deliverance ,you can continue to worship in your church,but must not go back to your former sins again.

The bible days Jesus is the way,the truth,and the life: no man (including Prophets & Pastors) can go yo God but by Jesus. John 14:6

The bible says ,anyone whose name is not written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire Rev 20:15

The bible says ,except a man be born again,he cannot see the kingdom of God.John 3:3.

God will see you through.

Part of the fruit of Holy Spirit is love,which shows in your evangelism to liberate these people who are ignorantly heading toward hell.

But I would suggest you add prayers to these posts, as they are reading,they will receive the prayers too,who knows, God might answer the prayers.

I pray that evil powers will not make you to labour in vain.

Always remember, 1Cor 9:26-27 " I there4 run,not as uncertainly;so fight I,not as one that beateth the air:
But I keep under my body, & bring it into subjection:lest by any means ,when I have preached to others,I myself should be a castaway"

Stay blessed.

Freksy: "After this manner therefore pray ye : Our Father which art in heaven..." - Mtt. 6:9.......He taught us how and to whom we should pray.

That was a payer sample.
It is the Holy Spirit that teaches someone how to pray an effective prayers.

John 14:26 "FOR THE COMFORTER ,WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST,WHOM THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME,HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS,& BRING ALL THINGS ( WORD OF GOD) TO YOUR REMEMBERANCE,WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU".

Luke 12:12 "And the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye should say."

The prayer for someone looking for the fruit of the womb will defer from that of someone seeking Spiritual growth.

ATMC: @enilove can you also explain to me why God allowed jephtha to sacrifice his daughter whereas it is said dt he god does not require human sacrifice...

In 1Samuel 11:4 " Then came d messanger to Gibeah of Saul,and told d tidings in d ears of d people:& all the people lifted up their voices, & wept.
Verse 6" And d Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings ,& his anger was kindled greatly.
And he took a yoke of oxen,& hewed them in pieces, & sent them throughout all the coast.....

The above situation that Jephthah faced was the same Saul faced when the Spirit of God came upon him.
Saul handled the situation with wisdom, but Jephthah made a vow without thinking.

God did not request for any vow from him, but since the word of God says in Num 30:2 "If a man vow a vow unto the Lord,or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond;he shall not break his word,he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth." So he had no option but to redeemed it.

Another point is that he had option to make vow with other things,but chose to use a human being.
because proberbly he was not expecting his daughter but other innocent people,and God knew his wicked intention.
He was expecting any of the children of his father wite, who drove him out to be the first to welcome him,so as to revenge because he had relocated to Mizpeh.

On his way home from the battle ,when his daughter came to welcome him, he rent his cloth (Judges 11:35). This shows he was expecting someone else to use as a sacrifice.

The bible says " he that digeth a pit shall fall therein ..."

God says that every tree He has not planted shall be uprooted.

A General Overseer should be Spiritually filled and should not do or say things outside what the Holy Spirit says.

If your are embarking on a journey,& you prayed, if there is a danger,God will tell not to go on that journey.

How come God did not tell Oshofa that he was going to have an accident and would die,being man of God,to enable him to appoint a successor.

God told Prophet Ayo Babalola when he was going to die.God told him to prepare and choose someone that would take over from him.This was to avoid chaos in the church after his departure. He did not suffer b4 he died ,unlike Oshofa.
The General Overseer of Redeem b4 pastor Adeboye told the church about his death, 5 years to the time, and he appointed pastor Adeboye as his successor b4 his death.
These two General Overseers told their respective churches whom the Holy Spirit appointed after them,unlike Oshofa.

The word of God says one man one wife ,as said by the Lord Jesus Christ. Why did Oshofa married more than one wife? At least he had more than Twenty wives.

Is the new testament laws no relevant for ccc?

Do think someone with more than 10 wives would have time for God?

ATMC: @eoilove thanks a lot of course you made a lot of sense to me.
I understand dt jesus didn't have d nature of sin as descendants of ab but our sins were laid on him while he was at d cross and he descended into hell with it, i'm yet to understand fully what happened in hell...maybe with time i will.
But enilove, when exactly did jesus present his blood to d father?

The answer to the question ,is in the qustion " where was the sin that braught about the death penalty commited?
It was commited here on earth and judgment was pronounced here on earth. So the ramsome must be settled here on earth.

Jesus did not descend to hell with the sins he paid for on earth.

Jesus blood was shedd here on earth,he inherited the sins here on earth and dropped it here on earth.
The record bearing the sin and pronouncment of the judgment was here on earth not in hell.

When you make payment to settle the debt of a debtor,and the debt is a bad debt,what is the need of carrying the debt about?In accounting ,you must not show it in your book as part of your assets,but write it off.

He had paid for the debt here on earth,of what use is it for Jesus taking it with him to hell?.

If you go to a court( earth) to pay the debt of your friend who is in prison(hell) , you pay for the debt in the court (on earth, not in the prison) & take a receipt (key ) to release those whose debts were settled( like Abraham, Jacob,David etc).
The prison officials will not have any right to hold you in captive, because the official paper is bearing the word " debt redeemer ,not debtor.

Jesus paid for the debt here on earth, and went to hell to release those in captive.
David said to Jesus in Psalm 16:10 " For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell:neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption".

If am right,let me know.

[quote author=wazobia_for_u]My dear, the way you write show some level hot temper, if its to what Jesus said then am doing it but you hardly do what he said and do what he did say and even try force them on people.

You always use false idealogy and manipulation in your words, i need a very simple answer and not qouting like 10 verses to darudapo for it...... If religion was before Jesus and he came to complet it then:
TELL ME THE NAME OF THE RELIGION IN THE BIBLE

TELL ME WHERE JUSUS THE RELIGION I HAVE COME TO GIVE YOU IS CHRISTIANITY

How do you sure the religion is not buhdist?

Secondly, i have realized many xtian do not love Jesus,mind you a conditional love is not a real love,had it been Jesus prayer was answered and he did not die on the cross, then you will all see him like an ordinary man.

Do a research and ask thousand christian why do they love Jesus, their answers will be he died on the cross and he did alot of miracles .... Do you know pastor Abiara of CAC, i hv attended his preaching many time and he is a good pastor but not too popular bcus he do less of what christians wnated .. MIRACLE

Anyway i have God and i bliv in Jesus so i will have ever lasting life[/quote]I did not know that the way I write shows some level of temper.I will adjust and take to that correction.

Since you do not know me in person,it is a wrong judgment to say ,I don't do what Jesus asks me to do.

The children of Israel worshipped God b4 Jesus Christ came.

Is religion not about worshipping of God?
It is human beings that give names to religions not God. God called only Abraham and gave him ways to worship Him, and the only way of salvation. God did not tell him this religion is JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY OR ISLAM.
People gave names according to their understanding and for identification.

No where in the bible will you see God calling religion by name,because as far as God is concern,you can name it anything you like.
Poeple say Judaism because it a religion identified among the ancient Hebrews and characterised by their belief in ONE GOD,who revealed himself to Abraham,Moses and other prophets in accordance with the scripture which Jesus came and braught to perfection with his death on the cross as a saviour for mankind.
People named the disciples of Jesus ,"Christians" ,in Acts11:26. This does not differentiate it from the religion of Abraham and the law of Moses is still applicable to anyone( except the laws regarding shedding of blood like circumcision,killing of doves ,etc).It is the same one God of Abraham.

So we have to beware of any religion that says God named this religion, "Sososss".

It is also a wrong judgment to say Christians do not love Jesus.
What does it mean to love Jesus.

John 14:21" The person who has my commandments and obeys them is the one who loves.The one who loves me will be loved by my Father,and I will love him and will reveal myself to him"
This is to say,if you do not have the commandments and obey what is written therein , the person is going to hell fire. As long as you obey the word of God,you love God and will escape eternal damnation.Prov 8:36, " But he that sinneth against me wrongeth HIS OWN SOUL,all they that hate me LOVE DEATH.
So,it is for their own good,that they love Jesus and keep his commandment,so that God can love them,or disobey him and go to hell.

It is always good to make reference to the bible ,as Jesus taught us.

god that cannot perform a mirracle is a magician god or a liar.
Creation of the world itself is a miracle.God knew that if He does not show how powerful He is people will not belief.
If God did not divide the Red Sea for the Israelites to escape,people will not believe He was the creator of the Seas,Oceans & everything inside it.

There was a showdown in Israel btw the Elijah the prophet of God and the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18:24 "And call ye on the name of your gods,& I will call on the name of the Lord: and the God that answereth by FIRE ,LET HIM BE GOD.And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken" Verse 38" Then the fire of the Lord fell,& consume the burnt sacrifice,& the wood,& the stones....And when the people saw it ,they fell on their faces:& they said The Lord is the Lord,He is the GOD."
But d prophets of Baal were killed because their idol god could not stand where God is.That was God of mirracle.
Jesus performed mirracles and said ,in John 10:38" ........believe the works...

Satan through idol worshippers can perform satanic magics and miracles, which people will believe ,thereby following satan.

If God cannot heal and satan can heal,who would you believe is God?
If the name of Jesus cannot do wonders in your life until you go to streams and burn candles,or a man of God has to give you special water and anointing oil or soaps,you are not serving God.

Jesus said,anything you ask the Father in my name,the Father will do it unto you".

If my children are sick I should be able to say" Father in the name of Jesus heal my children,and surely they will be healed,all things being equal.

God answeres prayers and He is real and ready to please His children.
You just believe and give your life to Jesus ,then God will recognize you and answer you by fire.

Thanks for the correction.

ATMC: Again, this has been on my mind...jesus bore man's sin on d cross as i'm told, now i want to know, when he went into hell, did he go with d nature of sin since he bore d sin of man? If yes, then how come he defeated d devil who was above man (at dt point) cos of sin? What really happened? Did he die as man and descended into hell as god? Answers pls

It is really a good question.

When God pronounced death sentence on Adam and Eve, it means an authomatic death sentence on everybody.

The first death is to return to the ground( hell). Geneses 3:19 "......till thou return to the ground".

Jesus Christ did not inherit the first death,so he deserved not to die.He was not indebted to death.

Satan knew Jesus does not deserve the first death, so he tried hard to make him to fall into sin ,as in Matt 4:3-11. Infact throughout his ministration ,satan did not allow our Lord Jesus to have rest. Satan sent the Pharisees and others to provoke to sin ,but did not succeed.

John 14:30 " Hereafter I will not talk much with you:for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me."

In summarry,Jesus did not inherit any sin from Abraham and did not commit any sin while in the world,so he died the death of a righteous man, just to go to hell to pay for our debts.That was why he could defeat the devil in hell.

He did not have the nature of sin in him,it is only the descendants of Abraham that has the nature of sin in them.
As a settlor or redeemer of a debt,you do not have to be a debtor to settle the debts of a debtor.In fact,you must have wealth to be able to settle those debts.
A debtor or bankrupt that cannot settle his debt will not be acceptable by a judge to gurantee the settlement of debt of another debtor.

When you settle a debt, which is non recorverably,you write it off,you forget about it since it is a bad debt.

Jesus paid for our debt here on earth by his blood.He inherited a bad debt, which is instantly written off ,and would no longer be carried by him or become his nature,as a company does ,regarding their bad debts.
He went to hell to take possession of what he paid for by his death, not as a sinner, but as the rightful owner of the souls he died for.

When you acquire a company and inherited its assets and its liabilities,your consederation or worth of the company would include the amount you paid in settling the debts.But if those debts cannot be recovered,you will forget about them,it will not be part of the assets you acquired. But you will take possession of the company's net assets.You will become the director.

That is Jesus,since he has paid for our debts greatly with his blood,he will do everything so that his investments in our souls shall not be a waste.He is no longer ready to inherit debts again.No more sin.

I hope that I makes sense to you.

BizBloke: Enilove, nice one.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Segeggs: Jesus never said "celebrate my birthday".

jesus never said "celebrate easter" but you jaiye jaiye people love to simply because my pastor said...my pastor said...shut up! Wetin ur bible talk?

You are right; Jesus never said , celebrate my birthday.

I do not . The church I attend does not also.

We do not celebrate easter also.

We have to worship God in truth and in the spirit.

[quote author=wazobia_for_u]You are FRUSTRATED, pele , biko, mabinu
But Jesus never preach religion[/quote]What has fraustration got to do with this subject?
By the grace of God,I am above fraustration, even my grand children yet unborn.

Your last resort is always to abuse ,when you do not know what to say.

Jesus did not bring religion,because there was already a God given religion on ground.
He said he has not come to abolish the law,but to fulfil it.

John 4:22 " Ye worship ye know not what:we know what we worship:for salvation is of the Jews.

This indicates that Jesus worships God Almighty even in heaven, and there was a religion,given to Moses already on ground then.
But that religion could not be fulfilled except the messiah comes. Jesus is the messiah,that came to fulfill or complete the redemption.
Even Abraham when he died , he did not go to heaven,he was in the ground ,awaiting the coming of the messiah.

Therefore,everything Jesus said should be considered and taking seriously, because of the day of Judgment.
What Jesus did not say,is irrelevant. Do what he says you should do first,for your own good.This is not about religion,but eternal damnation.

Jesus when Nicodemus asked him what he had to do to make heaven, said "Verily,verily,I say unto thee,except a man be born again,he cannot see the kingdom of God".

That is what Jesus said,and the greatest revelation in the bible.
What does it mean to be born again?It means to forsake your sinful ways and aknowledge that you are a sinner,you must tell God that you are sorry,then confess that you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins. Then the spirit of God will come upon you, you are now a new creature, in the Spirit of God.2 Cor 5:17.

Another important revelation is in John3:16" Jesus himself told Nicodemus "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son,that whosoever believeth in him should not perish ,but have everlasting life".
So,you have to believe he died for your sins and my sins,that we might enjoy eternal life after we depart from this world.

It is like someone trying to swallow an acid,and people are warning him , " you will die if you swallow that acid",if he listens, he would be saved,but if he refuses,it will take only the grace of God to revive him.

That acid is other religions outside Jesus Christ.
Jesus is not after whether people call you a Christian or not,he is after what you do with the oportunity he gave you ,through his death on the cross.

Do you believe?If you do not,you waste the oportunity of life.
Do you believe, but living in sin?You waste the oportunity.

Revelation 21:8 " But the fearful, and the unbeleiving,& the abominable, & d murderers &d whoremongers,& d sorcerers and idolaters and all liars,shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:which is the second death.

May we not be a pertaker in the second death in Jesus name.

This kind of discuss is more important to us than sport and accumulation of wealth.

The marriage btw Isaac and Rebekah was a traditional wedding.

Tradinational wedding is right and approved by God.
The reason why most people prefer to go for chuch weddings nowadays is because of the hidden idolatery imbedded in the traditional wedding of some tribes.

There this fear of spiritual attack during marriages.Where a pastor is present,a true man of God,all those curses and incartations will be cancelled by the prayers.

We should not forget that there are really wicked people.

Traditional wedding is approved by God,but you must enquire about the reasons why aligator pepper etc are used.
People can hid charms under their clothes and attend weddings.If such person is called to pray,the prayer is nothing but a curse.
We should not be ignorant of the device of the devil.

Traditional wedding is good if a pastor is there to pray for you or even your church members.

Church wedding is not compulsory.

Jesus never said, man should marry more than one wife. So any prophet who says God changed His mind or word ,and has now commanded men to marry more than one wife ,is serving a god and commiting adultery.

Jesus did not say,a man can divorce his wife and marries another ,except on the ground of adultery. There4 any religion that gives an open-ended divorce to his followers does not know Jesus and is against Jesus.

Jesus did not say, a man can beat his wife.because they are one.Only a mad man would beat himself.

Jesus did not say, women are intellectually inferior to men.

Jesus did not say, women comprised the majority in Hell.

Jesus did not say, a man can divorce his wife as many times as he wishes. And if he does it twice to the same woman,and he feels like taking her back,the woman should go and have sxx with another man b4 returning to the man.This a moral decadence.

Jesus did not say,if a woman wants to prove a rape or molestation,she should provide 4 male witness to corroborate her account,if not she should be stoned for confessing to adultery. But Jesus in John 8-11,told the woman caught in the act of adultry " Neither do I condemn thee:go and sin no more." That is love.

Jesus did not say people should face a stone and direct their prayers to it,because god lives in that stone house.Any person that does that is worshipping an idol,in the name of God.The Spirit of God is present everywhere. Idol worshippers must face the idol and bow to the idol. Even if we build a sky scraper with gold and diamond,& as big Lagos State.It cannot contain God.If you go round the building every year Seven times at aparticular time of the year,you have made the building your idol or there is a likelyhood that idol is hidden inside. because God cannot be caged.

Jesus never said salvation is of the Arab.But says salvation is of the Jews.This means ,it is through the Jews the whole world shall be saved.4:22 John.
This was God's promise to Abraham and his descendant through Isaac.
Genesis17:1- 8" And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, d Lord appeared to Abram,& said unto him ,I am the Almighty God; walk b4 me ,& be thou perfect.And I will make my covenant btw me and thee,& will multiply thee exceedingly.....As for me,behold,my covenant is with thee,& thou shall be a father of MANY NATIONS.......And I will establish my covenant btw me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant,to be a God unto thee,and thy seed after thee.And I will give unto thee,& to thy seed after thee,the land wherein thou art a stranger,all the land of CANAAN( not Saudi Arabia ),for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.......every man child among you shall be circumcised.( That was why David said to the Philistine ( Goliath),who is this uncircumcised Philistine defiling the armies of the living God)
Verse 21" But my covenant will I establish with ISAAC ( not Ishmael) ,which Sarah( not Haggai ) shall bear unto thee at this set time. Salvation is of the Jews, said Jesus.

Jesus did not say,there is going to another religion or another prophet.

Jesus did not say, a man should marry another man (Homoxesuality).Matt 19:5" For this cause shall a man leave father and mother,& shall cleave to his wife ( not a man or husband ) & the two shall be one flesh."

Jesus never said, you can marry the wife of your adopted son.Anyone or god that allows such, is a "marriage breaker". The bible says " What God has joined together let no man put asunder.

There are so many things that the messiah said that people do not follow or believe ,but would believe anything that fits in with their religious ideologies

Instead of making efforts to know God,people wants to know more about religion and defend it, despite the obnoxious teachings of the religion.

A truth known in hell fire is a disaster.

Anyone that dies without knowing Jesus ,will not make heaven. Do not argue ,but pray to God to reveal to you the true religion.

GraceBestowed: Firstly, I want to appreciate you all, I'm super new to NL, as odd as it may sound, I'd only started looking through the site a few weeks ago, and today, I stumbled upon this amazing (Religion/Christian) section I never knew existed.

This is to, formally, introduce myself, so I don't go around posting comments/articles without you guys knowing a little bit about me; for all of you that have made this site, and section, a success, I say a big well done, and I hope to learn from you!

I am completely, and utterly, in love with God, fully fledged born again, and am not ashamed of the gospel. He has been so amazing to me, turned my life around, and completely changed my perspectives on everything; with time, you would get to know more about me, and hopefully, I can do the same with you.

My name is Victoria, and it's nice to be a part of this community

Remember to give Him thanks, in everything!

I welcome you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ
