SHARE THE TESTIMONY, PUT THE DEVIL TO SHAME!
I remember when I joined Deeper Life Bible Church in 1998, active testimonies were part of Revival service on Thursday then. Both adults and youth, leaders, workers and members were sharing testimonies of the goodness of God with brethren for edification. But it got to a period, gradually that the leaders and workers were refraining from sharing testimony, it was then becoming like the activity of only members, new converts or young believers in Christ. No more excitement in sharing testimony with brethren. And same thing also with many churches, in fact some preachers categorically tell their members not to share testimony of God’s goodness in their lives with brethren in the church so that satanic people in the church would not hear about it and destroy the work of God.


There are many notions and ideologies which Satan has used to silent children of God from sharing testimonies of the goodness of God, because Satan knows that testimony is a powerful tool in Christianity, testimony is a practical power of God in manifestation that edify believers and move sinners to salvation to see that God is still doing wonders, that God is still faithful and that God is still good. Not only does testimony serves as great means of ministration to believers and sinners, but it is also a weapon of overcoming and prevailing for the believer who shares the testimony. In the Book of Revelation12:11, “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”


Why many believers are not prevailing today, why many are not overcoming by the blood of the Lamb and why miracles and blessings of God are becoming absent in the lives of many Christians TODAY is because they refused to share testimony of goodness of God in their lives YESTERDAY.

DO YOU KNOW?
Do you know why many Believers in the Lord are not sharing testimony of God’s goodness in their lives with people in their churches, on their social media and others? It is simply because of FEAR! You can call it anything, but it is fear. Satan uses FEAR to silent children of God from sharing goodness of God and so many are not being edified or encouraged that God is still doing it or that God can still do it for them. What a funny irony, you are afraid that demonic people in your church or even if Satan himself comes to your church when you share testimony, can he do anything to what God has done? Are we more afraid of what Satan can do than what God has done? When did believers begin to keep silent to declare the goodness of God in their lives because of witches and wizards? This is not Bible.

You are getting married, you can’t share the testimony of how God eventually settled you with the best because Satan tells you, “You better keep quiet, and what if the wedding is cancelled? You will become a fool” So you keep quiet with “Let me wait till I get married, till the testimony is full”. Then you get marry, the Spirit of God tells you that “You need to share the testimony to encourage My single daughters and sons who are weary in waiting, but Satan tells you, “You are just married with no child yet, you don’t even know if you are going to be barren or not, you don’t know how long this your marriage will last, and you want to begin to blow trumpet of God’s goodness in a month old marriage, what a fool. I think Bible says wisdom is profitable for leading.” And that was how Satan silent you till today and your testimony became irrelevant.

We the believers of this generation, we need to go back to the Bible and be assured again that when God does something for us, as long it is God, the God Almighty who made heaven and earth, who created Satan and chased him away from heaven, that no witches, no wizards, no principalities, no powers of darkness, I mean no even Satan can destroy the work of God in our lives, except we allow sin. Only sin can ruin God’s goodness and blessing in a believer’s life.

By God’s grace I will continue the second part of SHARE THE TESTIMONY, PUT THE DEVIL TO SHAME God willing tomorrow. Remain blessed in the Lord

Thank you very much sir. God bless your soul.

xproducer:
We should always pray for GOD's wisdom, grace and strength in these and all matters.

We can be naturally fearful of persecution for professing the Lord JESUS, but with GOD all things are possible, and if we are His, we can rest assured that we will always be His:

Confess Christ Before Men
“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 10:32

The Just Live by Faith
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek." - Romans 1:16

"For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ." - Galatians 1:10

Jesus Teaches the Fear of God
“And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!" - Luke 12:3-5

-------------

"Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:

“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us." - Romans 8:34-37

MODIFIED

ONLY SHORTENED (I ONLY COPIED WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR THIS POST....RIGHT NOW) FROM MY ORIGINAL MESSAGE.....WORDS HAVE NOT BEEN CHANGED.


There are times when an answer to a prayer takes time. There are other times when God has answered but we fail to accept it......................................

The only thing that I will say is if you are searching for truth....sincerely and with right motives....pray, pray and more pray for the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth and wisdom..........................
Let not any distraction that occurred here affect whatever God may be trying to tell you............................


Wisdom says that one should know when it's time to "dust off one's feet" on a subject.

I WILL NO LONGER comment on this thread.


Thank you to those who have been able to read my original message.

BassReeves:
If dogs can hear frequencies almost twice that of human ears and if they also capable of hearing sounds approximately four times farther away than humans, then its a no brainer that dogs can see, sense, perceive or detect spirits, as in meaning, incorporeal beings and so bodiless, that often are malevolent but specifically become visible to animals, like dogs, cats etc

Pets often can perceive this non-physical part of people that influences the seat of their emotions and character (i.e. soul) When a person has a dark soul, it is because its spirit-man is unlit, hence kaput and dead.

Myzzyfrazzy:
You are very correct ma. GOD bless you for the emphasis

Lovelytony22:
Truly, our afflictions are many. Many of us are going through painful situations such as financial constraints, marriage problems, health issues, death anxiety, joblessness, and many others.

Never think you are alone in your struggle for peace, relief, and happiness. The only difference you can make is to take the right steps. Man is not your reliable source. A man can disappoint you. So if you call yourself a Christian, then draw near to God. You should understand how God loves you and want you to break free from shame and any scheme of the Devil.

You may even be surprised to see that there are several Bible verses for business growth. The word of God covers everything about all facets of life. So it is reliable for a happy life.

Never think of easing your problems with alcohol, hard drugs, or running away from them. Don't be afraid. God delights in your happiness. There are many happiness Bible verses and many others to encourage you.

God knows that hard times will come, but he will never abandon you. The Bible has the best encouragement for you today. In faith, read them and your soul will be comforted.

Bible Verses To Make You Happy

1. "Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the unbelievers seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not be anxious" (Matthew 6:31 - 33).

2. "All the days of the afflicted are wretched, but one who has a cheerful heart enjoys a continual feast. Better is little, with the fear of the LORD, than great treasure with trouble" (Proverbs 15:15 - 16).

3. "Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul. For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you" (Psalms 86:4 - 5).

4. "We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all" (1 Thessalonians 5:14).

5. "That is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine" (Romans 1:12).

6. "Rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer" (Romans 12:12).

7. "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit" (Romans 15:13).

8. "The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him" (Lamentations 3:24 - 25).

9. "The LORD, he it is who does go before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you, neither forsake you: do not be afraid, neither be dismayed" (Deuteronomy 31:


10. "Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed: for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).

Thanks for reading through. Can you share with me your favorite in these Bible verses? Stay blessed!

PeaceJoyLove:
I have caught you in different lies, so I saying that was just being polite. And saying I attacked you is funny. I attack stup.id and terrible messages. That is what my focus is on. But when the other person attacks my person, it is normal to dish back exactly what was landed on me. Stop playing the victim's game. You have said it that you do not back down. And you boasted that I should know you. So, playing the victim's game is a strategy you always use. "E no go work". It won't work here cos I will not allow you digress. I will forever make you stay focused. You are known to be courageous. Therefore, be courageous and do the right thing. Do not chicken out.

Oh yeah, you want to gain voice with self pity to show all you are bullied, whereas you are the real bully.

I have told you....you are just finding an escape route. I am not interested in this your "yeye" rants.

This is what is happening. You have no answers yet to my questions because you just listen to and accept what your doctrine says. This is called brain washing. See, there is no escape route for you. The truth is always the truth. Can you see how readers are excited with the way I am handling you? Why? Cos it is the truth I am focused on. And they can see professionalism in my approach.

Instead of you trying to use tactics to escape, come on board on the side of the truth. I will allow you call me and you can ask as many questions as possible why there is no denomination so you can learn.

Do not be afraid to do this. See eh! You will have my respect and the respect of many. I will teach you again why I always know things. Oh! E no go choke you. I have told you. It is the Holy Spirit. One gift is discerning. You need it in order not to make mistakes.

In a sense, everyone who doesnt share your opinion is against you.....lol. But the reality is they are not attacking you. Your church is a minority because they teach false doctrines in this regard. Your church is far older than many churches, but cos they stand alone like the Jehovah Witness, your church has remained unpopular. Many churches are new but as soon as they align with the body of Christ, they are not left alone. It is all about the body of Christ.

When you are left alone, it is either you are hated for being right, or you are not right. In this case, we know your church is wrong. But no one has chased them away. Your church is welcome to christians gathering, but you choose to say you are holier than others. And you have been in this state for many years. You decide to be holier than everyone else, and you stay by yourselves. Lol. You made yourselves unpopular.

I know if I ask you more questions, you will start arguing along that line. But I waited for the direction of the Holy Spirit. He told me that He will give me the questions to ask. And boom, the questions came. He didn't tell me to ask about "secret rapture", He didnt lead me to ask you about the Sabbath day, and many other things your leaders have prepared answers to. Cos He knows you are always ready for those ones. But look at the wisdom of God. I can bet you that your elders have no answers. You have no answers too. And the God who wanted to open your eyes made you open this thread. No wonder you have refused to leave this forum. Hallelujah! Even when I encouraged you to leave if you cannot cope. Yeap, i have left many times too so far.

Listen to me, you may find your elders removing some of your doctrines soon to cover up their lies. Just be observant. The worst which can happen to you is being brainwashed again and you become a vessel for that transition. Lol.

It is a pity, members like you do not use your head to think. You have lost so many opportunities because of your usel.ess and blind faith or stand. We are here to help you. To remove that veil from your eyes.

If you have the Holy Spirit, you will have answers to my questions. So, prayerfully, go consult your elders so they can give you answers. But know this, one of the answers you will get is to avoid argument..lol. This is a signal that they have no answers. And they will brainwash you again we are attacking your person.

Wake up. There is a reason people with Holy Spirit do not go to your church. The church is far older than many others but has remained unpopular. This is why people say you are a cult or sect.

Think deeply about it. I have many questions even about the great controversy. But the most important ones I have asked you. And one of them is that: your church teaches women are not to pastor. But the person who founded your church is a female. And one of the 24 or 28 points which your doctrine was based was from her book the great controversy. Why would she found the church and ask you not to have a leadership position like pastoring? She founded a church...oh girl, she was not silent. Then, she used her book the great controversy to shape the church. Her prophesies are all over the church. It is like she was the one who shaped and controlled the church in her days. Yet, they teach you as a female to be silent. And you too in your wisdom has not questioned this. "You are smart ooooo"

Note: I have never said women should pastor or not pastor a church. It's irrelevant to me to argue this with anyone. What I know is this: if I feel the spirit of God while a female pastor preaches, then I know God approves it. The check is in me. No one can deceive me. I do not need anyone to tell me. So, your position or argument is irrelevant to me. But I am asking cos I found this strange in your church. Instead of you to ask for the check, you are busy defending what mere men told you. You are a powerless christian. Ask for the power of the Holy Spirit. No one can ever deceive you again. Why? He resides in you to guide, teach, direct, and empower you. But you are listening to mere men. Oh! I pity you.

Religion is a terrible thing. Mehn! God is not a denominational God. There is ONLY the body of Christ, and He is interested in this only. Imagine you said that if you didnt find your denomination in a city, you would search for your kind and start a group. Oh girl. I was just like.....what? Let me tell you the truth: You have been brainwashed. You better get out of that thing you call a church. It is not. You better find a living church and learn how to operate with the gifts and fruits of the Holy spirit. You better find a living church where you will be taught how to do it yourself and not rely on books a woman wrote many years ago. You have too much faith in your teachers. Oh! The videos of your teachers over the place. When you are asked questions, you dont have the right words but to refer to internet pages and videos.
Why? You dont have the right words to say. You post 2 hours teachings to answer simple questions. Why? You have no answers..

I know you cannot take up this challenge. I have challenged you in the past but you found escape routes. And everytime I bring it up, you always try to escape my questions. Instead of you to be sober and reflect on it why you couldn't give me answers, you still came here posting what you dont understand yourself.

Am I the only one who has told you to shut up? You just copy and paste from your numerous doctrines and novels. When you are asked questions you have no answers. And instead of you to admit you have no answers, you start shouting we are bullying you. The poster above had to politely ask you if questions will be permitted later. Lol. What a good reputation. You are well known to use different reasons to escape answering questions you do not have answers to. So, why force your SDA and great controversy on people when you cannot answer questions to our satisfaction?

We are Nigerians. We have brains. So, be ready to defend your faith.

Lastly, unlike you who never show remorse or say you are wrong, I admit when I am wrong . This is a quality I have and I am not ashamed of. Convince me and I will say you are right. And I will tell you that yeah...SDA is a living church. But so far, SDA is a a dead place with all I am seeing.

So, stop playing games. No one is attacking you. And do not digress. The speed at which you reply with irrelevant words is super high. But you have no answers to the questions I have asked you. I do not see you provide any answer because your church is wrong but just brainwashing many in this area.

I pray, Lord, show yourself to this lady. Let her see light. Jesus, open her eyes to your words. Dear Lord, set her free. She has a strong passion, and we thank you for sustaining her till this moment. But Lord, it is time for her to move forward. Baby food is for babies, it is time for her to grow in You. Jesus, son of the living God, reveal yourself to her. I have heard her testimony where she claimed you led her to SDA. Whether it is true, or someone else did it is OK because she didnt even go to open fraternities. We need you do this new miracle in her life. Jesus, I cannot command you how you will do it. I can only intercede and you act. Jesus, move into her life. Holy Spirit, move into her life. Find her. Locate her. Teach her. Direct her. Open her eye. And I pray, the veil in her eyes should be removed in the name of Jesus. The scales in her eyes should drop in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, move. In Jesus name I have prayed. Amen!

Lady, it is well.

PeaceJoyLove:
Just saw this. Did you modify this particular post? Ok. Never realised you wrote this. Ok. Take your time. Yes, you do not need to rush. Pray very well about it. Seriously, I want you to. And please, do not write what you previously believed is true, but what He shows you . Return to the books you use and research well. Cross reference with the word of God.

I just need you to be sincere. If you see that you are wrong, say it. You will gain my respect for life. And if you are right, say it and prove it. But I know that if you research it well and you pray for the Holy Spirit to lead you, .....you will definitely see light.

I will be back to remind you if you tarry too long

As for the offer. I'm ready. Do not be afraid. Just have a copy of what you want to post and if erased, do what I told you. I will assist you. I still assure you. I will get your voice out the exact way you want it out.

Bejusttoall:
You have spoken well. No denomination in the body of Christ

PeaceJoyLove:
Hey pal! Ohhhh.... you are my friend. ..

Hey love! .... you like this?

Stop ranting. Do me a favor. Just finish your Ellen White story and write up. This is what I am interested in.

No one will ban you again. I just want to read the truth. I'm after knowledge. Do not chicken out. You saw where gorillas from demon witness dens called kingdoms ....like 6....came to my thread. I didnt shake. I was bold. I faced them. And the facts are there. I proved my case logically, sensibly, and with the lead of the spirit of God. If you know you are led by the spirit of God to say that particular stuff, go there and finish it. No one will ever ban you. If they try it, they are in soup. I will lash out for you. I promise. An alternate is that if you get banned...please, use your second moniker to mention me. Leave sentiment aside. Mention me with your second moniker, I will throw you a means you can contact me. This i will do so you do not have excuse (do not call me ooo...I will throw you a means). Send me the copy of what you want to write which is erased. I will personally post it on your behalf on your thread. Do you hear me. I will never remove anything from what you write. I will write...this is from Eviana. I want to see the spam bot which will erase it. So, relax. I will support you to get your facts out.

I promise you. If you can convince me biblically, I will personally write it there that I agree with you. Where I should apologize, I will. What i need out is the truth..

Love, (you no be my friend, you no be my enemy...maybe this one will appeal to you)...are you going to chicken out again?

Max failed to meet me. He chickened out. Demonjr failed to allow us arrange video coverage when he boasted he could cure a mental disorder. You? What are you up to? See me.....I am not going to chicken out. I will apologize if i am wrong. You have the chance to prove me wrong, and if you do, I will take your words. You must be ready too if you really arent going to chicken out. Listen to me....you have not denied faith. It's just a step for you to get another veil removed. I am ready to xray my eyes and if you are right...it means the veil is in my eyes. And I will humbly remove it. What about you?

I will not make comment on your thread until you finish...this is my promise. Go and finish it. Do not chicken out.
