This world is habitant of evil, you need to have God as cover, evil is obvious in villages because of small population, but not easily exposed in cities because of overpopulation

Odogwu for a genuine reason

Ok

Power will soon be number one..... The best minister ever in Nigeria, I believe and trust the process

In fact the difference between religion and spirit son is that religion will not see God in Jesus, they will much more ascribe Him to Mary rather than Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost


Is the same knowledge that reveals Jesus as God that also revealed that we are also sons of God


Now you will understand religion more, religion exists in old testament of the Bible using law, basically law of Moses, but there are other forms of religion that goes with or follow people that read both old and new testament to not accept the key message of Sonship in New testament and for this reason they fall short of the promise that makes the fulfillment of God promise in this life

JESUS told one man the meaning of being born again or meaning of being a Christian


John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.



To understand more, replace anywhere you see born again with Christian and Spirit with God and spirit with gods John 3:6


However, a sinful son of Adam with nature of evil can't suddenly become a spirit if Spirit didnt gave birth to him


So, belonging to Spirit isn't a choice for Christians is a condition John 3:6 that must be met, Jesus started with it in Matthew 1:18-20


Matthew 1:18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.


Looking at these verses carefully you will noticed that both husband and wife were forewarned who Jesus is


The real meaning is that Jesus is the one that brings Sonship to us, not RELIGIONs

There are ONLY two ways to worship God or to know God, just two ways


The two ways are Spirit and Religion


No Inbetweeners, no matter how smart you're, we are of God, God created us. There's a level you will read Bible to and started having this knowledge that is important, I love this Bible verse too much Galatians 4:22

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman [Hagar] and one by the free woman [Sarah].


Abraham did had 8sons, but categorically in Spirit, it's 2, Holy Spirit and Evil spirit

Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, active and confirming Sons for God, evil spirit is downgraded and uses deceit and lies not to acquire sons, but to kill and destroy sons.


Through Adam we originally were born into evil, this is naturally our way and makes us to degraded nature or flesh as one without God or lost God through Adam, people will say no one taught a child how to lie, he just learn it naturally, Bible says everyone have sinned automatically.


Bring Born-again is changing our place of birth in God

I can connect to everyone and am open to everything that can help a man knowing God


There are many forms of Christianity today, but that is not enough


Christianity or Christians supposed have single meaning, that will be synonymous to Born again


Born-again is the name heaven called Christians and are expected them to be, Christian is what world call the Born again, they are supposed to mean the same things. But being called born again is more direct and seems effective because it expresses more than name tagging, it seems to cover doing or life style too. Christians are also small Jesus in mockery, small spirit, gods and many more.


All of these are not much more important than what we learn in Matthew chapter 1, learn and not what we see.


Learn rather than see is effective because many see and either deny it or didn't believe or didn't learn anything but that's where Christians pillars is, where Christ like or Christians originally took their meaning.

PulsingPurple:

By the way... Just by the way....

1. In this context, who is 'God'?
Read about God according to John the Baptist, it's accurate, God the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit

2. And what is 'Religion'?
Religion is uses of law to worship God, religion was introduced to Jew because they are impatient and are committed a lot of sin, religion reveal sin, doesn't cleanse sin, religion Galatians 3:19. Indirectly Jesus was telling the woman of Samaritans to leave religion and it laws and follow him to know God or worship God in Spirit and Truth in John 4. Religion and Spirit worshipping seems to be the two negating choices we either chose from, but many prefer religion, religion is closer to nature, spirit is things of God, but man easily understand nature than spirit. There are plenty of religion practices in Christian faith, part are JW, catholism etc the difference between Religion Christians and Born-again Christians is Jesus is LORD. A Born again Christian is the one that understands the while a man can give birth to a spirit and a man just need to change it birth method to spirit and qualified for heaven. Jesus Himself was birthed a Spirit in Mathew 1:18-22



3. How do they correlate?

God introduce religion to sinful people to make them control themselves, because such isn't the way of God, God can kill a man to save him, but man will curse God if their loves one die. The original plan of God or promise of God to all of us isn't religion, careful reading of Galatians 3:19 is enough, the original plan of God for man is Jesus. God played drama for Abraham for us to watch as film and take lessons, the promise of of son from God to Abraham is Isaac, but Abraham had 7 other sons, they are many but are not promise of God, so they are not matter. You need to be very careful with God, religion is plenty but Jesus is the promise of God to us from Adam time to Abraham time. The law of Moses is assumed to be the law of God, but Jesus said more about the law of God that is nothing but love to God and to everyone we see or come across

4. What is YOUR own religion?

Grammatically my religion is Christianity

If I take it to church nation, am not a religion person, am a Born again, in church nation, we ONLY see people existing in two area, religion or born-again. Born again isn't a tag, it's a living


The aim of living is not to live beyond death, we all going to see dead people, our dead dear one, the aim of living is to live accordingly to Christ, as Christlike, you will rise from death triumphantly to glory not to death again

Religion won't deliver people from implications of sin, but was introduced where people commit a lot of sins or trangeession


Religion is the checkers for people that are into barbaric or sinning



The law of religion will now come in as law of God, but the mediator like Moses will come in as seen in Judaism, the law of God is love, not the one that will put knife on neck or stoning to death or subject to hardship in dress, what to eat and not to eat etc found in religion

The law of God is simply to love God and love your neighbor


God promise to Jews is Messiah, Jesus. Law of Moses is what was introduced to them in covenant and in services because of their impatient with God and increasing sin, but the law of God is different and is what Jesus quoted as LOVE

Man is the mediator of Religion, this is the best definition you can use to define religion



There would be man face boldly written and acceptable by the religious one, Moses is the face or mediator of Jewish religion, catholic has their, Mohammed is for Islam and many more in other religions



The superiority of Christian's faith is that God is the mediator, a Spirit is the mediator, it's a complete work of salvation set and deliver by God, in religion an angel deliver work, but people in Christ enjoying Him getting everything ready by Him, taken all the burden which includes death and many other big sacrifices for those that believe Jesus is the Son of God

If you are still doing religion after the death and raising of JESUS Christ, you allowed it.


You allowed them to manipulate you and create for you a manipulated God story, another Jesus, another Spirit, another gospel that are not true.


They will tell you it's another, they will tell you it's alternative, they will tell you their is the greatest.


What they are selling to you is ordinary things as God, you need to start reading Bible. They take advantage that you are still learning gradually the things of God, the spiritual things, the main message of God and His promise to man, they take advantage that you love God, desire God and sell ordinary things to you as God

But with you equipped with the right knowledge of gospel, Spirit, you reject their offer and identify it as misleading easily.

For every religion or religious man seen today, they had a choice, to follow Christ and get acquainted with the plan of God, get saved from difficult power of sin or join a religion.




Very unfortunate many people prefer Religion or Law.


They are simply unbelievers, not believing the saving grace sent to get them deliver from shackles of destruction set by deliver. Devil takes advantage of man's ignorance to continue to set up religions on earth

People were wrong all the way to practice religion which has laws as the heart at the expense of the main plan of God for man



The religion belongs to the Jews and God doesn't allowed the Jews to even spread it beyond their border, God allowed them to practice religion until it produces the Saviour, Jesus Christ of Nazareth


The moment Jesus is done with some work, the religion is also done, Christ's gospel is to be taken to all the corners of the earth, I mean the law or religion point to Jesus, but Jesus is meant for all living soul given birth to. The gospel said to the Jews first, then to other nations.

Have you seen this important verse in the Bible?


It says religion or laws has one major purpose, to reveal man's sinful life and not to clean it. To clean our sins, we must believe and rely on Jesus.


NB
Throw away your RELIGION and follow JESUS, read carefully this important verse.



Galatians 3:19

Why then was the Law given? It was imposed later on for the sake of defining sin, until the seed should come to whom God had made the promise; and its details were laid down by a mediator with the help of angels.

Law is synonymous to Religion in this sense



The main reason why God allowed Jews to practice Law in old testament is for them to see difference between law or religion Vs Christ or grace, the two are not alternatives


The law or religion reveal sinful life of man, it also called for need of a Saviour, ordinarily religion supposedly leads us to Christ to further be Christlike, Christians or Born-again


Christ the anointed one clean sin, forgive us of our sin, makes the power of sin nothing to us, simply a born-again Christia has isn't in competition with a religious person


It's important we know what's important for the sake of our soul, our soul has no replacement.

This really gladden my heart and proud

*MEANING OF BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS YOU MUST KNOW*





YOU WILL NOT GO TO HELL BECAUSE YOU SINNED, BUT BECAUSE YOU REJECTED JESUS CHRIST


Hell is the final home of unbelievers, is true that believers will inherit from God, a place where JESUS had gone to prepare.


A believers is simply one who believe JESUS is Messiah and one that is responsible for our salvation or author of man's salvation. Believers believe JESUS is LORD and Son of God. A believer don't have problem with this in any form a question about JESUS is Messiah come.


An unbeliever do not believe JESUS is Messiah, LORD, Saviour or Son of God.


A believer life style is after Jesus, because JESUS is his mentor, his Saviour, they are originally called disciples, but unbelievers usually called them little Christ or Christians.


Unbelievers however is short in knowing the truth that Jesus is the Son of God, as a youth you qualified to be in charge of your choices and life. Believing and not believing is an adult thing, if after all knowledge of supreme being you have heard including that of Jesus as a person and you're convinced that Jesus is Messiah, your LORD and saviour and Son of God, you're a believer. If by chance you think less of this, maybe due to indoctrination or teaching you have been exposed to from your child age or value, or culture, or knowledge or races or tribes or family or marriage or peers or nation or personal conviction or history or hate or problems or poverty or anything, that made you believe less you're an unbeliever.

As an adult you're equipped to overcome the above conditions that could stopped you from know Jesus as LORD, yes Jesus came as a man to live among men, but Jesus Christ is also clear about Himself

Revelation 22:13
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.


Anyone that knew God is Alpha and Omega and didn't believe JESUS when He said He's Alpha and Omega in the Bible is an unbeliever.


If you believe Jesus is who He said He's, you know Jesus don't lie, you should be His follower, His disciple, you should be a believer, a Christ like. You shouldn't be in another faith or affair that's deceptive and in disguise, where they presented another JESUS to you, another spirit and another gospel that is deceptive and not original. Another Jesus that isn't Jesus is the reason why you should be in the gathering of believers and separate yourself from unbelievers so that they don't lure you back to their unbelieving state. A believer only stayed amongst the believers online or on ground. Stay away from teaching of another Jesus, they teach about Jesus but not as a Messiah, a saviour, LORD and Son of God. They're simply unbelievers.

2 Corinthians 11:4
For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.




Do not bear with people who preach another Jesus, it is a waste of effort. Anything not found in Christ Jesus is UNBELIEVING.

Hi

No correlation between light and darkness



When it come to spirit, no grey area, any grey area is still dark and evil, it's either you are with us or against us. Don't fall for devil's gimmick

But today we have all set of Christians


Initially we don't have all these set of Christians, we only have born again, witnesses, Kingdom seekers and Christ like, all these are what people see and called Christians


There is a way you behave around especially if you are seeking US visa especially around US Embassy, Kingdom seekers must be born again, they want to spend time with JESUS in heaven, they will be made perfect like JESUS and they live forever.


Those who said heaven will be boring don't know the Bible a bit. If we use a whole year to explain heaven and packages awaiting, we still will be scratching surfaces.



Eye hasn't seen, it hasn't crossed the heart of any, what God has prepared for those that like Him


Imagine this...

Some of us want to know when Christianity start or when we first have the Christian



There is so much answers to this in the Bible, reading the Bible or joining a church is key, but before then we will do the witness and Holy Spirit will complete his work



When we told you earlier that those that Jesus described as Born again are what the world people see and called CHRISTIANS, then you have answers to when how do we identify Christians, what birthed Christians, what link does Christians have with JESUS, look at this verse... How Jesus said the born again or Kingdom seeker need to be born again or need to be Christian as the world called them



John 3:3
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Lastly or thirdly is sin, unlike the second point, sins are usually committed by those that knows the meaning of sin, and by sons. Sin also concerns us all, this is better refers to as original sin from Adam before we talk about personal sins. The original sin means all man must have a day they gave their life to Christ, if you don't have yet you are not standing well with God no matter how good your hands are clean. The personal sins are the one we committed when we didn't calculate well, when we put flesh above the Spirit. Whereas spirit should be first in all areas of our lives. As a tripartite living, we should live in consciousness of the spirit. There are things Born-again don't do, if you do them, you may slide to wrong sides of your faith and you become a backsliders. A Christians isn't too perfect yet like Jesus, not to sin, but must not remained in sin.



The good place a child of God is going is such a place without sin, so, it's a preparation, your time now is preparation and readiness to live in a sinless place, a new Jerusalem above. The question is, if you are aware of what is happening where you are going, will you makes some preparation or will you not? Especially when the journey demand a preparation, holiness living demand is part of what happen in our final home. We will be made perfect like Jesus, Jesus is our standard on earth.



Hallelujah.

Secondly is atheism, atheists don't believe God exists, and don't want explanations around divinity. So, in the process, they set a standard of moral is all we need. So many things may be the reason for this decision in man, notables are knowledge or science, demand for physical evidences, confusion arising from many religion, life satisfaction, suffering of the Saint or Born-again people and state of mind. Since there is no such time to tackle these one after the other, one good answer is that devil is still the reason for any form of disbelieving or not believing at all. Usually man is a tripartite built, meaning a man is a spirit that has a soul and lives in a body. The first knowledge lost for man is to not knowing this, especially that he is a spirit of that his spirit is the most important part of him, or not knowing the role his spirit takes as he lives or after death of flesh. Bible teach that the main decision happen in the spirit, then flesh carried it out, but atheist believe otherwise. God is a Spirit, man is also one, but presently operate in flesh, so gap exist, but the gap doesn't suggest spirit is unreal. Is there, we are catching up, but not all. The good thing is that it's not hidden, however, if it's hidden from any, this is devil and we must see it this way. Spiritual things isn't far from us, it takes our collaboration with the unreal spirit not to see God. First, we know we are different from every other creature or "things" we know for sure don't have to walk alone in the midnight and even if our area is safe, we know this isn't possible for everyone else on earth to visit some places like that. We know literally that people won't gather for religiosity or spirituality or something else without for a reason, but we decides to ignore all of these for a faith of evidences, or a game of it. Lastly in this category, spirituality don't usually come with physical evidences for sure, yet atheists use it as basis of their arguments. Like we said earlier imagine the atheists situation when the final day of flood came, definitely not suddenly if am not mistakenly.

Missing out are usually caused by these three(3) things


Religion or religiosity.... If you join a faith that didn't recognize Jesus is Lord, no matter how popular or big or respected or recognize such gathering is in this world, I mean this world oooo, you are missing the heaven. You need to renounce them now, don't look back. Find a living Church around you, you need them, being a member of a Church is important, BEFORE God arrives at Church that is being led by Holy Spirit, God had previously used families, Adam's family was the first, Noah's family, Abraham's family and so on, people in such family if they listen to their father that God ordained or gave special assignment to, the head of their family, they are saved. After family, God later used a nation, Israel or Jews is God first son according to Bible, imagine being God first son just because you belong to a nation. An adopted first son of Almighty God. Then the last that God recognize after those notable families and a nation of God is Church or Kingdom people. The recognition and attention God gave to Israelites is now on Christians in their Churches, Church because, they are body of Christ. You can't say I believe in Jesus but not Church. leadership in Churches receive the gift of Jesus, before you can identify a Church as Church, it must have either an apostle, pastor, evangelist, teacher and prophet present. Ephesians 4:11-12, Holy Spirit is the one managing the Church presently on earth now, Holy Spirit is presently God on earth now, every born again member of the Church receive Holy Spirit gifts,9 of them. 1 Corinthians 12:7-11. If God once recognize an Israelites nation, He is coming to be identified with Church. The glory of the latter is better. Christians are not even adopted unlike Israelites, they are direct son or sonship to God through Christ, Holy Spirit birthed us when we gave our lives to Christ, baptism is important. Jesus is the connection, reason why Jesus said He is the way to the Father, JESUS opened that connection for man to become God's own. Jesus God the son means God in flesh, this is the meaning of God the Son. This means Jesus is God on earth as at when He was here. This is the understanding that will rule your heart hence forth so that nothing evil rule it again. Devil will fight you on this, but you must be ready for him, because this Word is out to liberate you and set you free from him forever. This is what qualified you to become a citizen of new Jerusalem that is abode in heaven. It's important you believe if your heart is good and want to serve God, if you don't, devil will find an alternative for you and call it a way to God, this is what birthed other religions that are not Christianity. Not believing at this critical junction is the reason why we have any and many other religion body you can ever imagine on this earth. The intention of all these religions is to have a Church of God, but when harvester comes, JESUS will tell them I don't know you, not only because they miss it, but also of their work. A sin against Holy has no forgiven.... Why? No way, no other ship to convey people after the passing or sailing home of the Church that Holy Spirit nurture and taught. All forms of idolatry and worshippers of strange god are not going to live with God forever.

Between you and this great opportunity of living again after death is many things that matters to flesh, but very simple to your Spirit. If Jesus come today, among twins, one will go and other twin will not, father will go mother will miss. Two friends standing, one will go, the other miss, a politician because he believes will go, the common man on the street miss, employees go, employers miss. Why? those missing out didn't believe, basically called unbelievers.


So many will miss the opportunity to live forever because they can't understand things that is at the tips of their eyes.

Imagine missing the opportunity to live forever because of mistakes, because you are too wise, because of unbelieving, because of money, because of things that we know they don't usually count beyond some time, because of alcohol, friends, families, girls or boys, religion, ego, title, money, marriage, child or children, because of confusion, drug or any youthful exuberance like yahoo+ or duping people up and down, experience, traveling around the globe, education such as doctorate, professor and so on


Missing heaven is missing it all, no make up and is real. Heaven is real



Christians are going to heaven. Those stories you see in the Bible are all real. No standing concept of rules or decree or anything will be able to categorically say
Heaven isn't real. There are more physical evidence that support heaven is real than against it in humanly discussion. And you see more evidence when you talk to witnesses or Christians and when you read Bible.


Just like the way heaven and Spirit of God is real among men is the same way hell and evil spirit exist, they talked about witches operation and ritualist existing but because you had not seen one, you think it's false and made up? They are real. Testimonies in Churches are real, JESUS is real


It's better you are a gateman in heaven than missing out, how do you miss out, by not believing Jesus came down as Son of God.

Christians or Born-again means same.

World called Kingdom people Christians
Jesus or Divine called us Born-again

Sometimes we try to call ourselves Born-again Christians to separate good Christians from immature Christians.

The Christians that didn't understand the oracle or key knowledge of God are called babe-Christians or church goers. So, understanding and and practicing the doctrine of God makes you save.


Now to the main message.... For your life to continue and to see, to live, to laugh again, rejoice again, to rule again after your physical death means you need to be born again. Being born-again simply means you recognised JESUS as your Lord, tho you first known Him as your saviour, but importantly as your Lord and presence of Holy Spirit in you, that teach you more about JESUS Christ. So for Born-again it's Christ in and out. Before you become Christians we preach Jesus through God that has selected you, to you, to come. When you become a Born-again Christian the Holy Spirit explain JESUS to you.
