The progress of Nigeria lies on every Nigerian. No country in the world will help Nigeria achieve development or security. If things work well in the US, European and some Asian countries, its because their citizens contribute to their countries growth as all nations take responsibility for their growth and development.
Congratulations to them.

God bless you abundantly, in this part of the world we dont like to take responsibility but only to blame others. No government can succeed with this kind of people with a warped mindset

serve God with all your heart and he will bless you period.

Its my year of break limit

sheDD:
And someone was at the point throwing away his faith and creeds about God but your seemingly wise but defaulted argument about the things of God and his Kingdom

I love using a lot of sarcasm especially in my first account, I met quite a lot of intelligent atheist here but human wisdom is very limited my friends.
Step up guys to crave for divine wisdom which is far superior ,there are more things you don't know that will be revealed to ( I am not talking about bible stories but kingdom mysteries)
Its so much fun on this side, peace that surpasses mans understanding will rule your heart. You will be able to impact positively lives of people around you

BeLookingIDIOT:
Well,atheism is the lack of belief in God or gods and that's just it; there are atheists that believe in zombies and spirits.
It won't be unexpected finding an atheist going back to his vomit,especially when his atheistic reasonings are still quite of the premature kind.
You were just like an angry kid who cursed God because his favorite bicycle was not forthcoming- It was more of emotion than logic that pushed you to atheism in the first place.

My atheistic experience has really made passionate God lover. I think it is a great advantage for me, there was and Will never be an intellectual and logical reason to believe in God except by Faith. The devil made a huge mistake to have allowed me to be part of that meeting that turned my life around 360°.
I have not for one day regretted the decision i made for Jesus Christ to submit my pride,ego,will and life to him. Amazingly, I have been enjoying a glorious ride with my maker ever since. I was like a child who got reunited with his father who he never knew until he became an adult

1Sharon:
LOL. OP where you born an atheist? I highly doubt.

You simply went from theist to atheism now back to theism. You basically went back to your own vomit

You were too cowardly and had to conform to the majority.

Nothing to see here.

I will not believe that you are an atheist, if you are moved easily by what a thiest tells you because it doesn't work that way. But I pray that by the holyspirit you will someday discover the truth yourself like i did which i am sure will really wow you. There is more to what we see brother, there is so much for you to explore in the word of God that will keep your ever curious mind fascinated.
Telling you what I have found will be like explaining to a fish who humans are... Your mind is conditioned to repel such things. But I know and I believe your story will change for the better, God loves you

GodSaklek:


They took you to a place and someone twist your brain, did they allow u to ask questions on a lots of genocides in the Bible?,beside I have read your previous post,I mean those ones u wrote in 2012, you lied a lots, there was a place u said you don't pay tithes but u pay offerings in church, definitely u are a Christians and always go to church, the things is that u are young and u don't really take it serious back then, but now I think th have ordained you and its time for u to start eating people's hard earned sweat all in the name of tithes and offering.... Ole

Lol, I may have said something nastier if I was in your shoes. That's why l smile when I read the posts by the athiest around now, nevertheless I am familiar with the thinking pattern of a typical athiest and how to bait the thiest to make him look like a fool.
So you can't play me in this game, I can tell you what your next reply will be because its a routine. Atheist are very unique, intelligent,realistic and frank set of people who thirst for knowledge and do not just to be a crowd follower but we indeed live in a world that is not only physical but also spiritual.

aadoiza:
OP. You dey look for trouble. I like how you used God-hater and ignorant fools, they perfectly fit the descriptions of the people for whom they were intended.

I did not say that to demean anybody but that was the person I was before I reconciled with God.
I am so glad to have found out the truth and also be able see the world from Gods eye(perspective). Its so awesome

LordReed:


What are the questions and what answers did you get?

Every question of life have answers with God. Reading the Bible with faith in your heart and guidance of the holy spirit will lead you into all truths.
I desired more knowledge about life and not just what people say, that's why I became a freethinker. But since I crossed over to Gods side, I have been enjoying amazing discoveries about life,humans, spirituality e.t c. Its been a wonderful adventure for me in Christ, I enjoin you to come over to this side and you realize that we have been missing a lot. The wisdom of God will blow your mind, his ways are unsearchable and paths past finding out.
Jesus Christ is Lord

Dreal1247:
Praise Jehovah. This is one of the best thread I have ever read on Nairaland Forum. I pray that we shall all make heaven at last in Jesus name, Amen.

AMEN

Choose Jesus Christ and don't allow the devil to mess up your life. Jesus Christ is the only way of escape from the wickedness of the wicked in this world. There are so many things God want to show you about yourself than all this dumb question Satan is putting in your mind.
You can not be smarter than your Maker, submit yourself to him.
I have found a new way of living and found a new life in Jesus Christ, I am abiding in the light. To live is Christ and to die is gain because i have eternal life in me

There is nothing any baby atheist here can say that can move me one bit. I have said and done more than what I see them doing now. It is a rude shock to the kingdom of darkness that I can ever believe in God. I laugh when I read the question and response of the atheist we have now.
I have dedicated my time to building my faith by seeking more knowledge through the word of God. I tell you that you will enjoy your relationship with God because he will be showing you so many deep and secret things about life and his plan for humanity.
God told Moses how he created the world and no devil is able to successfully dispute it till today. Moses became a man of great insight and abundance of revelation because of his relationship with God. Atheist are knowledge seekers but in wrong direction, when I became born again and received the holy spirit and I began to swim in revelations.
The word of God has made me wiser than the devil and his agents, I WISH EVERY ATHEIST CAN FOLLOW MY PATH. GOD WILL SHOW YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN EVER ASK OF, HE LOVES YOU AND WANT TO HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU

If athiesm is a religion, i may qualify to be called a fanatic. I got to a point that i said within myself if truly a God especially the (Bible God) exist I will prefer to rot in hell than to worship, acknowledge or serve him. I cursed and mocked the thiest and their God (Check my Old post for confirmation)
I so much hated God and I was never hesitant to show it. I could not believe that a God can truly exist while so much wickedness, indiscriminate killings of innocent people persists daily and he seems to be less concerned among many other things.
But I want to thank Almighty God(Jehovah) for the salvation of my soul from the deceptive power of darkness and bringing me into the kingdom of light. I have been a Christian for the past Five years and it has been a wonderful experience. Someone will think that it will take some kind of near death experience to convert a God hater like me but nothing close to that.
I thank God for the Winners Corper fellowship where I had an encounter with Jesus Christ. I tell you by the power of the WORD OF FAITH that i heard on that certain day, he gave me a new heart, the light of the word of God shattered the hold of darkness in my life.
DON'T BLAME AN ATHIEST BUT LETS KEEP FEEDING THEM WITH THE WORD OF GOD AND CONTINUALLY PRAY FOR THEM BECAUSE THEIR MIND HAS BEEN BLINDED BY THE DEVIL. 2Cor4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Life has a new meaning to me now, I am no more an ignorant fool because I have seen the truth that there is indeed a God in heaven who made the heaven,earth and all that dwells therein. Psalm100vs3 he created us not we ourselves. Jesus Christ is the son of God and every one that believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life, with the help of the holyspirit I will be able to follow and fulfill Gods beautiful plan and purpose for my life

Have I gotten answers to those boggling questions that made me doubt the existence of God and the credibility of the bible? (YES) By the revelation of his word in the Bible mixed with faith in my heart and he keeps revealing many more to me by the holyspirit.

I BEG EVERY ATHIEST TO REPENT AND TURN TO GOD BY GIVING THEIR LIFE TO JESUS CHRIST, ACCEPT HIM AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR. HE WILL SAVE YOU FROM THE POWER OF SIN AND DARKNESS THAT IS CONTROLLING YOUR LIFE NOW. GOD LOVES YOU AND HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO PERISH IN YOUR IGNORANCE THAT IS WHY HE SENT HIS SON JESUS CHRIST

Not herdsmen

Buhari is the best thing that has ever happened to Nigeria since 1999. He is a true democrat and I am happy to identify with him. The combo of Buhari and Osinbajo is a blessing from God. It is absurd for the wailing wailers to expect the supreme court to rule in favour of Adeleke - the Dancer. He is known to be an unserious fellow just like all PDP members. It would have been very calamitous if PDP's candidate was declared the winner of the election. I spit in PDP members pot of soup. I still think the supreme court can amend the ruling by also adding 3 years jail time so that oga Ade can dance soapy dance in prison for wasting the time of the court.[/quote]
This post made got me laughing so hard

God bless you

I was an athiest before God saved my soul by his mercy and grace made available through our Lord Jesus Christ. You check my history you'll also know that I am not just an athiest but a very crazy one.
On a certain day while still uncomfortably living in thick darkness , the glorious light of Jesus Christ shined on me by the WORD I heard in a Christian gathering 2cor4vs4. That's how I was delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God 1col 1vs 13. Jesus gave my life a new meaning, I discovered the true purpose for my existence
Now life has new meaning to me, I have been moving from glory to glory ever since because of my new status in Christ. I will also like you to partake in the wonderful, glorious, enjoyable life that is in our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and watch how everything will start turning around for good in your life because that's the will of the almighty God for us.Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

May God settle their marriage, Ehen everyone. I want to use this medium to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you so much and He wants to have a close relationship with you. Give Him a chance today, and I promise you won't regret it.

foolbuster:


It is not for you to know whether you have the blessings of God or not, rather obey God truly with your spirit and keep to his words and he will bless you. Remember Dont obey and worship God so that he will bless you. Rather obey and worship him because that is what he said, it is for your own Good.

God bless you sir for this wonderful response. We must just learn to trust and obey him knowing he is a faithful God.
Hebrew 11vs6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Someone’s response to Charly Boy after he labelled Pastors as conmen,.

Read:

The fact is many Nigerians are loosing it. They can't think beyond going after pastors.

In what way has pastors prevented Nigeria from owning an Airline

In what way do pastors prevent Nigeria from having industries

Less than 0.0001% of pastors own Jets in Nigeria. But no let us forget the over 70% that earn less than 50k/month and focus on the 0.0001% than own jets.

If you ran your governments the way church leaders are running churches. Nigeria might be a Qatar right now. In all these argument Canaanland has had stable electricity and water supply for its over 15,000 residents since 1999 and is already on the verge of converting waste to electricity. RCCG is producing 25MW of electricity. Yet your ... govt you pay compulsory tax, vat, CIT, Pet Tax has not been able to give you light decades after independence.

Living Faith has more than 25,000 Staff and has never owed any of them salary! Yet your state govt that collects Allocation plus Tax cannot pay full salary.

Living Faith a single Church is schooling 16 thousand of your Citizens in Higher institutions and many more at primary and Secondary levels yet you think you have the capacity to waggle your tongue

I went for Shiloh all through and stayed in the staff quarters yet it was electricity all through, for one second water did not go off inspite of thousands that were present. On a normal day you won't walk 20 meters before you find a segregated bin to dispose your waste.

The entire area was fully covered by different layers of Security with multiple CCTV and IoT enabled barrier gates. And yet your Abuja, capital of the Nation does not have CCTV yet you open your .... mouth to talk down on pastors!

Between the guy that calls himself Area father and Oyedepo who resigned a federal job and started a Church of 3 people and has widened it to over 6,000 churches globally, over 200 schools, 2 hospitals, Over 1000 hectares farm for livestock and crop, Another farm in Igbesa and CU. With 15,000 housing Estate in progress, Water factories, Zeolite factory, One Research center, a scholarship fund, Beverage factories, 10 million books, Publishing house, Radio Station etc who has had more impact or who will have better capacity to govern the nation...

Canaanland hosts hundreds of thousands of people every week yet no stampede ever. Government gathered people at stadium for recruitment excersise and before it even began many were dead!

Living Faith already has a master plan till 2032 yet govt does not have a plan for 2020!

You know Illogicality is the trademark of most Africans. They fail to think beyond their prejudices and sentiments hence Africa has remained on the ground

COPIED!!!

God bless you sir

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. — John 10:10

I realize that John 10:10 is a well-known verse to millions of believers around the world, but today I want to give you fresh insight into this powerful scripture. Rather than simply read it as you’ve read it a thousand times before, let’s dig a little deeper into the Greek words behind this verse to see what we can mine from the treasures of the Greek New Testament!

Jesus said, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). According to these words of Jesus, the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy everything good in your life. He wants to destroy your job, your joy, your happiness, your health, your finances, your marriage, and your kids. The thief just wants to ruin anything he can get his hands on!

The word “thief” comes from the Greek word klepto, which means to steal. It gives a picture of a bandit, pickpocket, or thief who is so artful in the way he steals that his exploits of thievery are nearly undetectable. This reminds me of the pickpockets who work the streets in certain areas of Moscow. They can slip their hands into a person’s pockets, take what they want, and be long gone before that person discovers they were even there!

Jesus uses this word to let us know the devil is very cunning in the way he steals from people. He knows that if he does it outright, his actions will be recognized; therefore, he steals from people in such a deceptive way that he often accomplishes his evil goal before they even know he has stolen from them!

Often the devil injects thoughts into a person’s mind to steal his peace, his joy, and even his beliefs. The word klepto describes a thief’s uncontrollable urge to get his hands into someone’s pockets so he can take that which doesn’t rightfully belong to him. I find it very interesting that this is where we get the word kleptomaniac, which describes a person with a persistent, neurotic impulse to steal. Just as a kleptomaniac can’t help but steal, the devil can’t stop stealing because it is his impulse and his very nature to steal. This is precisely the nature and behavior of the thief Jesus told us about!

Not only does the thief come to steal, but Jesus said that he also comes “to kill.” At first glance, it appears that this means to kill, as to take someone’s life. But the Greek word is thuo, which means to sacrifice. It originally referred to the sacrificial giving of animals on the altar. It could mean to sacrifice; to surrender; or to give up something that is precious and dear. It was particularly used in a religious connotation to denote the sacrifice of animals, and it had nothing to do with killing in terms of murder.

Because Jesus uses this word to describe the work of the thief in John 10:10, He is telling us that if the thief hasn’t already walked away with everything we hold precious and dear, he will then try to convince us that we need to sacrifice or give up everything he hasn’t already taken from us.

The thief cannot bear the fact that you possess any kind of blessing. Therefore, if he is unsuccessful at stealing the good things from your life, he will try to cunningly convince you to give up everything you possess and love — simply because he doesn’t want you to have it. He may even try to create stressful situations that cause you to conclude that your only solution is to sacrifice the things you dearly love.

Then Jesus went on to say that the thief also comes “to destroy.” The word “destroy” is from the Greek word apollumi, meaning to destroy. It carries the idea of something that is ruined, wasted, trashed, devastated, and destroyed. By using this word, we discover that if the thief is unsuccessful in his attempts to steal from you or convince you to sacrifice what you hold dear, he will then try to ruin it!

An expanded interpretive translation of John 10:10 could read this way:

“The thief wants to get his hands into every good thing in your life. In fact, this pickpocket is looking for any opportunity to wiggle his way so deeply into your personal affairs that he can walk off with everything you hold precious and dear. And that’s not all — when he’s finished stealing all your goods and possessions, he’ll take his plan to rob you blind to the next level. He’ll create conditions and situations so horrible that you’ll see no way to solve the problem except to sacrifice everything that remains from his previous attacks. The goal of this thief is to totally waste and devastate your life. If nothing stops him, he’ll leave you insolvent, flat broke, and cleaned out in every area of your life. You’ll end up feeling as if you are finished and out of business! Make no mistake — the enemy’s ultimate aim is to obliterate you….”

But Jesus went on to say, “…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). The words “they might have” are from the Greek tense that means to have and to continually possess. The “life” Jesus offers us is zoe, which suggests a life that is filled with vitality. The word “abundantly” is from the Greek word periossos, and it means to be above, beyond what is regular, extraordinary, or even exceeding. This is not just abundance; it is super-abundance.

What a comparison! The devil comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy, but Jesus comes to give life as we have never known it!

An expanded interpretive translation of this second part of John 10:10 could be as follows:

“…But I came that they might have, keep, and constantly retain a vitality, gusto, vigor, and zest for living that springs up from deep down inside. I came that they might embrace this unrivaled, unequaled, matchless, incomparable, richly loaded and overflowing life to the ultimate maximum!”

In your walk with the Lord, you will experience times when the devil pushes buttons in your emotions to keep you all bound up and depressed. Other times the enemy will disguise his voice to make you think God is talking to you in order to get you off track or cause you to cast off your deepest dreams as pure imagination. But whenever these attacks occur, just tell the devil to shut up and stop dropping those dimwitted thoughts of nonsense into your head. Tell him to hit the road! Let him know you’re not going to bite that bait any longer, so he might as well go fishing somewhere else. You’re not a sucker anymore! You know how he works now, and you’ve determined that he isn’t going to steal, kill, or destroy one more good thing in your life!

There’s no doubt about it!

The devil wants you to be defeated.
The devil wants you to struggle through your entire life.
The devil wants you to be sick, depressed, down in the dumps, glum, and miserable.
The devil wants you to feel like you will never hit the target with your life.
But Jesus wants to give you a life that is unrivaled, unequaled, matchless, incomparable, richly loaded, and overflowing with life to the ultimate maximum!
So now that you know the devil wants to make your life a less-than-gratifying, unhappy, uneventful life — a life that no one will even notice is gone once it’s over — what are you going to do about it? I urge you to put on the brakes and stop Satan from wreaking havoc in your life. Jesus will give you the power to resist every attack and to overcome every strategy the devil ever tries to use against you!

DOMINION OVER THIS PRESENT WORLD .

Monday, January 22nd, 2018

Pastor Chris

Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father (Galatians 1:3-4).

As new creations in Christ Jesus, we’re engaged in three different worlds at the same time. The first one is what our theme scripture calls “this present evil world.” Jesus Christ gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from “this present evil world.” It’s a world of evil, because it’s being dominated from another world.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 calls Satan the god of this world; this present evil world. The Greek word is “aion,” meaning this age, this present system. He became the god of this world as a result of Adam’s high treason against God in the Garden of Eden. Adam forfeited his authority over the earth to Satan, because he (Adam) disobeyed God. Sadly, the unregenerate man lives today, under Satan’s dominion and servitude in this world.

Ephesians 6:12 gives us some further insight. It says, “…we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” This shows there’s another world of darkness in this world; it’s called the kingdom of darkness. This present evil world has a spiritual kingdom of darkness that’s dominating it. This kingdom of darkness harbours all the spiritual forces of evil that contend with men in the world.
But thanks be unto God! Colossians 1:13 informs us that God “…hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” Thus, in Christ Jesus, we’ve been delivered from the powers of this present evil world, and transferred into the kingdom of God’s dear Son. We live in, and operate from that kingdom NOW.

This should help you further understand what Jesus meant when He said, you’re in the world, but not of this world, because we belong to another realm. We’re only in this world to dominate it, and rule over the powers of darkness, in the same way that Jesus dominated the world in the days of His earth walk. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for showing me beautiful realities in your Word. I’m not of this world; I dominate, live above and beyond its systems, economies and economics. I operate by the higher principles of your Kingdom, for greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: 1 Peter 2:9 But ye [are] a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

PERFECTED IN HIM .

Friday, January 19th , 2018

Pastor Chris

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10).

In Christ Jesus, you’ve been perfected in all things; you’re complete; nothing missing, nothing broken. The life that you’ve received of Him is a balanced life of glory and excellence; it has no ups and downs; no downsides. Hallelujah!

There’re people who, for example, are doing very well in their jobs, but with ailing health. Some others may have good health and doing very well in their jobs, but battling several inner conflicts. God doesn’t want your life to be that way; He doesn’t want you lacking in any area. He’s given you wholeness in Christ; it’s part of what it means to be “complete in Christ.”

Everyone who has received the message of salvation ought to experience this completeness in Christ, where you prosper in all areas: in your spirit, soul, and body. But if that hasn’t been your experience, chances are, you’re not yet applying the mirror principle of the Word of God. That principle is simply to see yourself to be what God says you are in His Word, and then act accordingly. It simply means acting the Word.

We read in our opening scripture that you’re complete in Christ; see yourself that way. Affirm it always. Christ is in you in all His fullness; there’s nothing more that needs to be done in you to enhance your divine nature. 2 Peter 1:4 says, “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature (associate of the God-kind), having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

God has done everything that He needed to do in you to make you all He ordained you to be. There’s nothing excellent that’s lacking in your life, just as there’s nothing bad that shouldn’t be in you that’s in you. You’re complete and perfected in Him, for as He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17).

CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for the life of Christ in me. I affirm the truth of who I am in Christ; perfect, whole, excellent and full of glory! Christ has been made unto me righteousness, wisdom, and sanctification; and as He is, so am I, in this world. I’m the effulgence of His beauty and grace! Hallelujah!

FURTHER STUDY:
2 Peter 1:3 AMPC For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [[a]full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).

1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

CONFIDENCE IN THE WORD .

Thursday, January 18th,2018

Pastor Chris

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise (Hebrews 10:35-36).

Your confidence in the Word must be unshakable. Practise the Word, even in the simplest matters of life. If, for example, things appear to be so tough that you aren’t even sure how your next meal is going to come, be unruffled. Make a confession of the Word. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25: “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on….”

Paul reechoed the same thing; he said, “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6). Practise this. Anchor your confidence on the Word. Maybe you looked into your bank accounts and there’s no money; that shouldn’t make you condescend to speak poverty or lack. Refuse to beg. Rather, declare, “I’m the seed of Abraham; the whole world is mine. I’m sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency. I have wealth untold. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places, and I have a goodly heritage.”

Act your faith in the Word and you’ll always win. The Word of God concerning your success, your greatness, and prosperity has already been given; think, talk, and walk accordingly and you’d live above the systems of this world. Reign and prevail over circumstances with the Word of God on your lips. It doesn’t matter how deplorable the situation may be, you can bring forth the glory of God, just as God brought order to a chaotic earth by speaking forth words.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 says, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen….” Notice what it says will happen when you maintain focus on the Word, when your confidence is in the Word: that seeming impossible situation—that trouble or adversity—will produce for you a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. Blessed be God!

PRAYER

Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the great assurance of faith, hope and love in your Word. Now, more than ever, I’m assured of victory, success and the glory-life, because your Word says so. My life is a daily manifestation of the supernatural, because you’ve made me an overcomer; winning is my lifestyle, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: Isaiah 55:10-11 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

MESSAGE
An ambassador is a worthy representative of a kingdom and its people in general. In particular, he or she represents the head of the realm. Our memory verse today describes us as Christ’s ambassadors. It also spells out our responsibilities as the mouthpiece of God as He persuades all people to come over to His side. We are to speak for our Lord Jesus Christ concerning the work of redemption which He has finished for all mankind. As Christ’s ambassadors, we are not just His servants or errand boys; our relationship with Him goes deeper than that. The Lord Jesus Christ made us to understand from today’s Bible text that following His decision to choose us, He has promoted us to the level of a friend, and He is ready to reveal things He and His father discuss in secret to us. What a privilege! Psalm 25:14 says,
“The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will show them his covenant.”

Why has the Lord made us His ambassadors? Some of the reasons are revealed in Mark 3:14-15:
“And he ordainedV twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:”
Ambassadors for Christ are ordained, first, to fellowship with the Master. In addition, they are to go out and preach the gospel of the kingdom they represent. They are to exert the dominion of their King over all obstructions to the expansion of His kingdom, by ministering healing and deliverance to all those who are oppressed of the devil. The ambassadors of Christ are expected to do what He did, and even greater works than He did (John 14:12). There are lots of benefits attached to being Christ’s ambassadors. One of these benefits is speedy answers to prayers. Elijah is a classical example of an ambassador for Yahweh. He prayed down fire that could quench water and God answered him immediately (1 Kings 18:36-38). Another benefit of being an ambassador for Christ is that after your tenure here on earth, you will live eternally with Him heaven. The Lord gave us His word on this in John 14:2-3:
“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
To be an ambassador for Christ, you must live a life that represents the Holy God. Choose to represent Christ everywhere you go, and you will not regret doing so.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, please grant me grace to be a worthy ambassador of Your Person and Your Kingdom everywhere I go.

HYMN 12: TAKE MY LIFE, AND LET IT BE
1.Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise,
Let them flow in endless praise.

2.Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3.Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose,
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

5. Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.

You can keep surviving as long as you keep suffering-that is the Jewish trademark.
These obnoxious Jews always feeling like the world was created for them.
Nations rise and fall-that's the hallmark of human civilization-they didn't fall because of you.In fact majority of those mentioned ultimately ended under the hands of the Arabs.Persia,conveniently not mentioned,which ended your exile and rebuilt Jerusalem also ended like the rest of the nations.
And OP,do you really believe neth-anyanwu said this nonsense

If I believe nethanyanwu said so, it wouldn't change anything

Mr. Nethanyahu the Prime Minister of Israel said:

Only 70 years ago! The Jews were taken to the slaughter like sheep.

60 years ago! We had no country. No Army.

Seven Arab countries declared war on our small Jewish state, just a few hours after its creation!

We were only 650 Jews, against the rest of the Arab world! NO IDF (Israel Defense Army).
No powerful Air Force, only brave people with nowhere to go.

Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, Saudi Arabia all attacked us at the same time.

The country that the United Nations gave us was 65 % desert. The country was out of nowhere!

35 years ago! We fought the three most powerful armies in the middle east, and we swept them... yes... in six days.

We fought against various coalitions of Arab countries, which had the modern armies and many Soviet weapons, and we had always beaten them!

Today we have:
*A country*
*An army*
*A powerful air force*
*A State-of-the-Art economy which exports millions of dollars*
*Intel - Microsoft - IBM develops products at home*
*Our doctors receive awards for medical research*

We make the desert bloom, and sell oranges, flowers and vegetables all over the world.

Israel has sent its own satellites into space!
Three satellites at the same time!

We are proud to be at the same rank as: The United States, which has 250 million inhabitants,

Russia, which has 200 million inhabitants

China, which has 1.3 billion inhabitants

Europe - France, Great Britain, Germany - with 350 million inhabitants..

The only countries in the world to send objects into space! Israel is now part of the family of the nuclear powers, with the United States, Russia, China, India, France, and Great Britain.

We have never officially admitted it, (but everyone knows it) and say that only 60 years ago, we were led, ashamed and hopeless, to slaughter!

We have extirpés the smoking ruins of Europe, we have won our wars here with less than nothing. We built our little "Empire" from nothing.

Who's Hamas to scare me? To terrify me? You make me laugh!

Passover was celebrated; Let's not forget what this is about.

>We survived Pharaoh.
>We survived the Greeks.
>We survived the Romans.
>We survived the inquisition in Spain.
>We have the pogroms in Russia.
>We survived Hitler.
>We survived the Germans.
>We survived the Holocaust.
>We survived the armies of seven Arab countries.
>We survived Saddam.
>We will continue to survive the enemies present today too.

Think of any time in human history! Think about it, for us, the Jewish people, the situation has never been better! Then let's face the world.

Let us remember: All nations or cultures who once tried to destroy us, no longer exist today - while we still live!

Egypt?
The Greeks?
Alexander of Macedonia?
The Romans? (does anyone still speak Latin these days? )
The Third Reich?

And look at us,
>The Bible Nation.
>The slaves of Egypt.
>We are still here.

And we speak the same language! then, and now! Arabs don't know yet, but they will learn that there is a God ....as long as we keep our identity, we are forever.

So forgive us for not worrying.
>Not to cry.
>Not to be afraid.
>Things are fine here.
>They could certainly get better.

However: Don't believe the media, they don't tell you that parties continue to take place, people continue to live, people keep coming out, people continue to see friends.

Yes, our morale is low. So what? Only because we mourn our deaths, while others rejoice in the blood shed. That is why we will win, in the end.

He never sleeps or will ever sleep.... the guardian of Israel.... Yahweh God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
All Glory to God

A Daily Life Of Praise And Thanksgiving .

Monday, January 9th .
Pastor Chris

Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12).

The Bible says God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3). This is enough to make you ecstatic with gratitude to the Lord every day of your life. How could anyone read or hear that and still be complaining? God wants us to give thanks every day, not complaints. The Scripture is clear in saying that this is the will of God concerning you: “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

A life of daily thanksgiving, however, doesn’t suggest a life devoid of challenges. Challenges may come, but in the midst of it all, lift your hands and say, “Lord, I give thanks, for greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world.” There’s no need to complain or grumble about any situation; as a child of God, you were born into victory; you can’t be disadvantaged.

Romans 8:28 says, “…we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” This is why the Lord expects you to always give thanks. Even now, lift your hands and give thanks because you’ve overcome the world; you’re more than a conqueror!

In the same prayer of Paul, where the Lord expressed His desire for us to be fruitful in every good work, He also tells us to give thanks: “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work…Giving thanks unto the Father…” (Colossians 1:10-12). Complainers can’t be fruitful in every good work; they can’t be effective soul winners. Instead, complainers gripe about their perceived misfortune. Don’t be that way; rather, give thanks.

David said, “…I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth” (Psalm 34:1). Keep His praise in your mouth, not sometimes, but always. That’s how victors live: they don’t complain; they praise; they give thanks to the Lord. Make it your lifestyle and you’ll always find angels mobilized on your behalf. A lifestyle of gratitude will continually attract blessings and favour to you, giving you more reasons to give thanks! Hallelujah.

CONFESSION

Dear Father, I give thanks to you, because my life is a well-watered garden, producing excellent fruits in and out of season. I win always, because greater is He that’s in me, than he that’s in the world. Hallelujah!

Further Study: || 1 Chronicles 16:8-10 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. 9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. 10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. ||

|| Psalms 30:4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. ||

|| 1 Thessalonians 5:18 AMP Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will]. ||
