Don't ever be afraid of getting people to hate you as a result of doing the only thing GOD mandated us to. "He that love friends; approval of men more than me is not worthy..." Even some Pastors don't tell their massive congregation the Truth because of fear of losing number. All must read this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/3488285/smaller-stronger#51410806

Interesting. Thanks op.

Would you rather have it big and going no where or smaller but stronger and impactful? Unfortunately, we are in a generation that's blinded with pride and ego that makes many to work directly against the purpose of their Creator. More disheartening is the fact that this is not only common is the secular world, but now manifesting even in the Body of CHRIST. I'm thinking; if Gideon in the book of judges were pastor, who had a thirty two thousand (32,000) member strong congregation, which was reduced to ten thousand (10,000) members in one day.
For which the church's prayer warrriors went into action, "binding and loosing". But the LORD said to Gideon: "Your army is too large. If Israel should win the victory, they would say, 'we won it by our own might.' The pastoral team still digesting that, got another blow, the now ten thousand (10,000) member church gets further reduced to three hundred (300). You'll think the pastor has DEFINITELY offended GOD, but you'll be so far from the truth.
Even some satanic pride-captured pastors would dump JESUS and seek "help" at the habalist shrines to counter and reverse this.

The church was stronger though it was smaller, for the cowards had gone, and only the brave men were left.

The difference between them (those who left, and those who stayed) was that the three hundred (300) were earnest men, of ONE PURPOSE; not turning aside from their aim even to drink, as the others did. Then, too, they were watchful men, always ready to meet their enemies.

You don't need a crowd to take the gate of Hell, especially not a mixed multitude.
It took just one man (Daniel) who understood by books to stand against both the physical Babylon, and the spiritual Babylon that held a whole nation in captivity.
Just One Man.

Would you appreciate it, or even know it, if GOD is REDUCING you to strengthen you, since we have become a people addicted to ENLARGEMENT.

MFM Brother.

This happened in a clubb on Friday. The girl posed for a nice shot in the club only to later discover what shook her views of life to the roots. The camera picked what's not visible to human eyes. There are many of such paranormal camera revelations on Internet that science cannot explain. Youtube and google for more of such around the world. All I will say for now is; Beware of clubbing.

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.


Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist preacher?


(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving. So, Knowledge and Imagination would be useless without faith. To have faith means you believe in something not seen. Don't limit your faith believing small things. Maximaze your Life by believing in the great CREATOR, the eternal Controller and everlasting Owner of Heaven and Earth.
Copy and share this to help your friends and family gain knowledge and/or FAITH. MFM.

phrenology:
Please do you have this song by Chris Delvan 'He is the holy ghost spirit of the living God' the one I had before was about 19mins long and contains a sermon at the end.

I will check my collections and get back.to you. But Chris Devan's track that I cant stop listening to，even when I'm driving is titled ”JESUS The Light of The World” He said a revelational Sermon at the end that the Creator wants just one thing from us，to keep and prevent our hearts from meditating on evil thoughts.

yeyeboi:
Bros you for just post topic na , good write up

Thanks my brother. Na GOD catch them O! Them no they gree move this kin enter FP. Na anti-Christan stuff that would destroy people's faith them dey always rush to fp on Sundays. But GOD pass them sha!

Timoleon:
unfortunately for u, u seem kind of deluded, if not, u will understand that even after about 2000 years, the coming of Jesus couldnt stop the first or second world war, it didnt stop the rwanda civil war or the belgian congo blood bath.... Look for other issues to give Jesus credit for, as for the nature of man to maime, arson, destroy, take life... It still here with us....we just sophisticated the operation, i bet u think those in alleppo, syria are doing drama rehearsals. Please helpe urself to information, help urself to knowledge. Ever heard or read of Hades? That originated from greek mythology. He is supposedly guardian of the dead souls. I suppose the greeks like many other civilisations before Jesus believed there was an after life. The coming of Jesus barely changed much... Humans developed better ways of killing each other.

You are not being sincere to yourself. The World would have become a place of Chaos, where being good would mean being weak. But now we know that good people are the Strongest for they shall live forever, while evil people shall end like chaff. For now the world may not be free of evil until HE finally returns to permanently take over. Almost everybody that are making effort not to submit their Souls to being evil are doing so because Jesus has shown us the benefit that follows. If I have no hope of living forever, I'll surely be a killer and probably would have killed you and many more, and in return I might have been killed too. But I know better now. Just before the birth of YESHUA Christ Jesus, the men were fast transforming to becoming totally and wholly evil living like animals, thinking there's no tomorrow. The rate of proliferation of evil was halted and massively reversed by the exemplary life of Jesus; he showed humans that we can live forever if we do good.

I dedicate this FTC to Evangelists that go all out to preach to the unreached Souls in Hotels, Brothels, War Fronts and up North at the Strong Hold of BokoHarams, Iran, Iraq, etc.. most importantly to the slained Martyrs that even threat of death did not reduce their Love for Jesus; YAHWEH is not man, eternal Crown and Life awaits you all.
I know of some Ashawos that will never go to Church but heard the gospel filtering into their room from such Church, repented and saved. A cultist heards Don Moen and Chris Devan songs filtering into his room from my friend's room for somedays and he came to him weeping and repented. If u allow GOD use what HE gave you, your phone ringing tone, ur stereo at home, etc..can touch a Soul. I'm FTC for the 1st time because this was pushed to FP without a single comment, can u believe that?! No, matter ur hate for ur Creator; the eternal Owner of the Universe still Loves you so much. PLS, accept YESHUA Christ Jesus as your Personal Lord and Savour today, tomorrow may be... Does any other person niticed the prolieration of anti-Christian articles on fp on Sundays? Coupled with the rate at which some mods quickly push them to fp while there are always so many edifying Christian articles left to languish.
I watched true life story movies like Troy, Hercules, SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND, Agora, Cleopatra, Caligular, etc.. and had a small insight into the wanton killings, lovelessness, satanic immorality, cannibalistic and animistic transformation that was fast to make the world to self-destruct just before the timely intervention of the Birth of JESUS Christ that showed them the Truth. Men lived like animals those days because they thought we die and end like animals; no afterlife, no judgement, no Power in being Holy. That was what they thought. If the exemplary Jesus was not born, the sane world as we know it today would not exist. Indeed, HE already saved the world by showing that death is not the end of Man; and that sane holiness is true Love; very possible.

Can you imagine what the world would have become had it being JESUS was not born?!
John 3:19 "This is the verdict: Light has come into the world" True Love is Holiness
I'm shedding tears of Joy LORD JESUS, you are indeed the Savoir of the world. Before Jesus came, men lived like animals thinking there's is no usefulness for being good, no hope of conquering death and living forever.

I enjoy the communual worship, praise and dancing to show the ever deseving Lord; the Giver of Life that we are sincerely grateful. "One shall chase 1,000 but two shall not just chase 2,000 but 10,000" It also has a geometrical proliferation effect. I receive multiple fold of answered Prayers, Blessings and Victory than what I would have if I prayed alone at home.

YES! Because, behavioural scientific research has shown that the more u condemn wickedness and other bad habits the more repulsive they appear to you. "Silence means consent, u know!" Even, when u r not fully holy yet, because "the abundant of the heart the mouth speaketh", when u consistently evangelize u'll invariably grow in Purity and Holiness.
A cultist heard Don Moen and Chris Devan songs filtering into his room from my friend's room for some days and he came to him weeping and repented. If u allow GOD use what HE gave you, your phone ringing tone, ur stereo at home, etc... can touch a Soul.
Besides, u follow ur evangelism group to preach to people at bear parlour yesterday, would it be easy for u to go and sit down there tomorrow and say "Madam give me 5 bottles there!"
Or you gave ur boss a trackt and preached to him, next day will u be comfortable to wear cloths showing ur boobz to the office?! If u r sincere with yourself and serious with your Life, evangelize!!!

Believe it or not, there some Senators on NL. I won't be suprised if even Buharis is on NL because where else can they better see the mindset of Nigerian youths that they govern?

Thanks for this.

Of the poor or of the super-rich, I hate to see marriage break up. I hate to see marriage break up.

Good one! "He douted that a bag of barley would be sold for 1 shekel" Doubting is allowed. One day Nigeria would be as great as America, and those that wish Nigeria well shall eat the good of the Land.

Still ON AMERICA'S LATE ELECTION
It is hoped that lessons are learnt and revelations are gotten from this:

9/11 - Twin Tower
11/9 - Trump TRiUMPhs
9/11 - Solomon writes;
Ecclesiastis.9.11

"I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."
Two dates Americans might never forget.

I don't really believe in coincidences,rather I rabidly believe in kismet.
I trust that the spiritual has a great clout on the physical. This is a "proven truth".
Watch out!
GOD HAS A PLAN!

N.B:I'm not a Trumpist but a Christist.

Gwangwadangwa77:
wow good to hear that. but mind the kind of comments you make so as not to make people weak in the faith to derail. Thanks

You welcome my brother. We are all in the same struggle as humans. Sin and hell are hell-bent on enslaving every soul, and many are succumbing and giving up the fight bowing down to satan. By JESUS Christ has shown us that Holiness is very possible if we are resolute, deternined and never bow down or give up the fight. May you excellently fulfill your Glorious Destiny with ease IJN.

Gwangwadangwa77:
Please stop deceiving yourself. you can't tell me your a child of God and you'll still be fornicating. You've not really met Jesus

You are a typical Holier than thou Christian. I'm sure you didn't read the remaining part before u suicidally concluded . By His Grace, I don't commit fornication at all. In fact, I've made the a MUST to watch and screen the thoughts I allowed into my heart let alone pondering on them, talkless of transforming them to action. "Guide your heart with all diligence, for out of it proceeds the issues of Life" Proverbs 4:23. If you had the opportunity that I currently have (girls continually wooed and toast me on Whasapp, etc.) you'll be celebrating thinking you are lucky, but by I realized that is the easiest way to submit my Destiny to destruction; hence I always flee. I don't act superman that cannot fall; I simply don't allow them into my Privacy. Just yesterday, I blocked another girl from my whasapp for disturbing me. This is not to boast but to show people like you that thinks abstinence can only happen because of lack of opportunity. Pray that GOD should open your eyes: when you've seen where GOD Almighty is taking you to, you'll do anything to protect your Destiny.

Christardor:
Eternalbeing..I Love you for that post.

I Love you too!


























With the Love of the Lord o! Before them begin say...

Swizdom:
I've Learnt from this. God bless you.

Thanks dearest. We shall not miss Heaven IJN.

How about secret fornication.
Let's be very sincere with ourselves for once, it's very hard to abstain from sex.
I hate holier than thou attitudes of some Christians.





































But the truth is that it is very POSSIBLE! I relate and talk more to average unperfect Christians because I've "bin ther done that" and I know how hard/painful it could be wanting to please GOD but feeling so... I'm happy to tell you that GOD understands, all you need do is that you must NEVER give up on trying to be Holy; that's the key. HE just want you to be sincere like David. Because of Pride, most people don't table their weakness before GOD. David wept bitterly before GOD, confessing and telling GOD that he had a weakness that would destroy him if GOD doesn't intervene. GOD saw his sincerity and proclaimed him to be a "Man after my Heart" All HE needs is your sincerity. Philippians 1:6 "HE that began the good Work in you is more than able to perfect you" When you realize that out-of-wedlock sex is the most effective weapon of the enemy through which you are being rubbed of the speedy fulfillment of your Glorious Destiny, then you'll know it's mandatory to abstain. The big question is HOW?

1. To start with, you have to be very sincere and determine that you want to be Holy(it's a very Great Power).
2. Read/watch/listen to only books/movies/musics that glorify GOD and fill your mind with love for GOD and desire to see the world become better and Holy.
3. Remind people that Rapture is about to happen and the need to be Holy and rapturable (the devil hates preaching with strong animosity). The more you evangelize, the easier it is for your not to do things you spoke against (scientifically proven that you find it more difficult to do things you condemn).
4. Pray fervently during your private vigils on your bed that Holy Spirit should take permanent control of your thoughts and the Source of your Thoughts.
5. Thanks GOD continually everywhere in your mind, while working, eating, bathing, every time. It's the Key to your next Level of Greatness.
Finally, if you still don't have the Grace to abstain, get married. "Pride goeth before destruction", a cheap wedding with the presence of Parents, Pastor and few important people is acceptable. Even as a student, you can marry and take injections that prevent pregnancy. That way, you and your hubby focus on fulfilling your Glorious Destiny with clean conscience. The major cause of all problems in the world today (resent alarming rate of divorce, corruption, murder, armed robbery, etc.) resulted from indiscriminate sex with different partners. The day you start having sex with another person other than your first love/partner, a large part of your conscience dies.
We shall not miss Heaven in JESUS Name.

Face the Truth, the more strangers you open yourself to in the name of searching for love, the more selfish you'll become. devil knows this, that's why he deceived so many by trivializing Sex. Sex is grossly spiritual, whether you are a guy or girl, the person u give access to your Private Part can easily destroy your Life and Destiny permanently. Get the mystery, GOD created sex for us as a Sweet covenant bond between 2 persons that have chosen to become 1 (Marriage=Sex. Read Genesis 2:24-25 says "they cleave to become 1 and they were Unclad" . Understand the mystery that devil wants u to keep denying for the rest of your life). Remember, there's no physical way to identify a demon infested witch/wizard in church or in club; that girl, that guy u r planning and craving to have sex with might just be one. So, totally give your Life to Jesus and pray HIM to guide you to your own wife/husband, and HE surely will. Sex is the worst weapon that devil is using to hijack the Glorious Destinies of some youths.

To thank and worship YAHWEH the Mighty Creator and eternal Owner of the Universe for sending us JESUS Christ.
