Religion / Re: "Once Saved, Forever Saved": Wrong And Unscriptural! by FirePower1(m): 7:37pm On May 12, 2019
Hebrews 7:25 KJV
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Jude 1:3-7 KJV
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. [4] For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. [5] I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. [6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. [7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Salvation is not just a point in time occurrence. We were saved (our spirits), we are being saved (our souls) and we shall be saved (our body) only by the grace of God (The Word of God) through our faith. If you have given you life to Christ, it means you surrender the wheel to Him, if you find yourself in sin, He didn't drive you there. You must have taken back the wheel because you lost your trust in him and drove yourself to seek pleasure for self not knowing that we are made to please God and in pleasing God only can we find genuine and lasting pleasures.
God saved the Israelite from Egypt so he could take them to the promised land but most of them died on the way not because God couldn't take them through but because the willingness to obey and please God when Pharaoh was a threat disappeared when they saw the Egyptians no more.

Crime / Re: Mother Sells Baby For N600,000 To Buy Phone, Wrapper by FirePower1(m): 11:27am On May 10, 2019
As bad as this may sound I find this hard to condemn the woman. If only she would have her children have a better life and not for pure selfish reasons. When the mother of Moses saw that she could not give him the life the goodly Moses deserved, she gave him up but wisely. She may have known that the buyers will give proper care to the baby and if there was no money involved, the exchange might not be sacrosanct. Grand parents just want to have as many grandchildren as possible and boast about them regardless of the welfare of these grand children. If everyone stones this woman, we will be encourage others who place their own children secretly at the dump site where some of these children die before anyone could rescue them. My judgment will be "go and sin no more"

Literature / Re: Wole Soyinka Replies Reno Omokri Over Chinua Achebe Being Better Than Him by FirePower1(m): 9:21am On May 09, 2019
StOla:
Why do people fail to learn that literature is not about Prose alone.

The 3 genres of literature are Prose(Novel), Drama(Play), and Poetry.

While Soyinka ticks the box in all, Achebe ticks only the Prose box.

While Soyinka is an acclaimed Playwright and Poet, Achebe is an acclaimed Novelist.

Soyinka won the Nobel for the dual reason of Drama and Poetry, and this much reason was stated in his award justification, as the reason for all other awardees are stated.




So why are people comparing an apple to an orange when the award for best fruit was given to an orange on the basis that for that years consideration, the sweetest orange was the decider?

Good and informed analysis, I am sure Reno will agree with you if he sees this. He was just asking a question to which I think you have given a sufficient answer. The Wole Shoyinka's response mixed with a pint of insult is understandable as he is the primary target of the poisonous nugget.

He was a leader but a lot if Nigerians by upbringing only understand the language of rulers. We are skeptical of leaders and see leadership characteristics as weakness. In most African home, the system of relationship between parents and children is that of masters and servant. Put a child accustomed to the mat on the bed, it won't take too long to roll by to his mat.

Religion / Re: Answered: What Does It Mean To Fall From Grace As A Christian? by FirePower1(m): 5:15pm On Mar 24, 2019
It is proper for those who have not grown pass the law to be under it. That you now have University in your village does not mean you are qualified for it. If you are a sinner, do not let anyone deceive you, the Law is for you until God sees that self conceit is totally taken from you because Grace, even the one that brings salvation, has appeared to all men but it is only the humble that can benefit from it. I pray that you will understand in Jesus name.
1 Timothy 1:9-10 KJV
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, [10] For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
Galatians 3:23-25 KJV
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. [24] Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Religion / Re: "Religion And Poverty Are Dating" - Daddy Freeze Reacts To This Tweet by FirePower1(m): 5:39pm On Mar 18, 2019
The devil is aggressively recruiting followers by making the worldly ideas popular because he needs about a thousand soldiers to confront one believer. Prosperity is only good in righteousness. Poverty or prosperity cannot make a man live forever, don't you think the importance of our financial status is really hyped . Most humans are very selfish they are only interested in what others have and not who they are, but we met everything we have in this word and we shall leave them behind. If this world is all that you see, this world will be all that you will desire.
And if you can't see beyond death the Bible verses below is for you to consider;
1 Corinthians 15:12-22 KJV
Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? [13] But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: [14] And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. [15] Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. [16] For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: [17] And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. [18] Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. [19] If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. [20] But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. [21] For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. [22] For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Religion / Re: Is It Right To Pray After Fornication? by FirePower1(m): 2:27pm On Jan 20, 2019
When you beat your child and he runs away from home for an hour or two, it is normal but if he doesn't come back to sleep in the house at night then you may have to do a paternity check, he is likely a bastard. The girl that prays after formication shows that she is still redeemable, Jesus came for such and I pray that she will receive the power to brake from that addiction in Jesus name.
She is at;
Romans 7:21-24 KJV
[21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
[22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
[23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
[24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
But that is not the end, by the grace of God she will get to;
Romans 7:25 KJV
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
And
Romans 8:1 KJV
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Religion / Re: Is Sport Betting Truly A Sin? by FirePower1(m): 4:44pm On Dec 30, 2018
Has anyone given a testimony of a win from sport betting in your Church? If your risk taking earns you the title of a gambler then check your heart if you are a Christian. Long time ago, while I was still in the secondary school, I won from a bet, It was something I was unable to keep to myself alone so I took it home and told my dad who at that time had pool house. My father had to wake me up in the middle of the night to appeal to me not to follow that dangerous way of life, saying that it will most likely lead to shattered life. He was managing a pool house and he told me this so I believed him and I can tell you that he was right. A friend of mine who manages a sport betting outlet also recently told me he would do everything possible to discourage his loved ones from being lured into it, he stated that through it you can easily get addicted and once that happens your life becomes financially unstable and you become very reckless, subjecting your health, family and future to unreasonable risk. Some people who see this as not so bad will soon grow up to discourage their children from it.

Religion / Re: The Rapture Will Not Happen Until Christians Have Faced The Great Tribulation by FirePower1(m): 7:11pm On Nov 18, 2018
There is no need for arguments, there are two separate events that could be referred to as the great tribulation in the Book Of Revelation, one is greater and more severe than the other.

The first one is recorded in Revelation 5:1-8:1, and it is regulated by the opening of the seven seals. It is for the trial of the saints.
Revelation 7:13-14 KJV
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? [14] And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

The second is record in Revelation 8:2-10:4, it is regulated by the blowing of the trumpets. It is the recompense of trouble to the wicked.
Revelation 9:20-21 KJV
And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: [21] Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

2 Thessalonians 1:6 KJV
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

Please do all you can now to endure the trial of the saint and avoid the judgment of the wicked
James 1:12 KJV
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Hebrews 10:31 KJV
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

May God bless and uphold you till the end in Jesus Christ Name.

I am tired of hearing them say "Goodluck failed so we tried Buhari and he has failed too, let's try someone else". Nigeria should not be subjected to the pain of trial and error. Do not just join the band wagon, study the candidates, make your choice responsibly. Nigeria is relying on you to do that, that is why it is stipulated in our constitution that you must be a sane adult of at least 18 years before you are given the power to vote.

Religion / Re: Is Wealth Tied To A Particular Religion? by FirePower1(m): 11:35am On Oct 10, 2018
TATIME:
YES! Becoming a manager of poverty is what Jesus taught His followers. A Christian can manage his/her poverty level until he/she dies with the wisdom from above. Poverty is an inheritance from Adam(Genesis 3:17-19) and so all humans became managers of poverty. But Satan is trying to make things harder for faithful humans so that they'll take a shortcut to do away with poverty. Job 1:6-22 Satan knows that no human is truly wealthy since we'll die and leave whatever we accumulate. Psalms 49:6-10
We're living in the last days and Satan has started calling for worshippers to sell their souls in exchange for perishable items called "wealth". Luke 4:6,7 compared to Revelations 13:16-18
So in a nutshell there is a religion to which the so called "wealth" is tied and those going there knows for sure whom they're worshipping! 1John 2:15-17 But the irony of the matter is that most of those worshipping Money don't even realize it (Luke 16:13) it's only those who truly knows their god that are controlling the so called WEALTH while their foolish followers are hailing them. Thanks and God bless you!
Jesus Christ teaches us to manage the situations whether wealth or poverty so that through them we may remain worshipers of God and not be corrupted by them (poverty and prosperity both have the power to corrupt) into evil lifestyles.
Religion / Re: Is Wealth Tied To A Particular Religion? by FirePower1(m): 11:15am On Oct 10, 2018
Our real value does depend so much on who are and not what we have. If you agree with me, you will see life differently. Life is not all about the money o. The most influential man who ever live is Jesus and he is not considered rich in worldly terms.
Luk 12:15 KJV And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
