Many Christians today do not want to be associated with suffering of any kind, wether it's a body suffering, or financial needs or whatever, they belong to enjoyment age where the most high God Almighty must provide Everything for them if indeed he is real and true. They always put God Almighty to the test saying words like if you are the most high God provide this for me,heal my body and free me from any predicament.

Gracelilian:
Some people seems to be loved and favored by God more than others right?

Look at David a man after God's Heart, what is special about him?
And Solomon, why Saul on the opposite side, why didn't God helped him?


I think nature has a lot to do with our being, sometimes it is called destiny, God's plan for a man. Remember we are branches and can not do without the vain.

We are joint hier with Christ

Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Wherever we are today is a function or our knowledge and lack of knowledge

I believe you will find this thread worth reading
Gracelilian

Gracelilian:
Thanks for your contributions, please can you put me through on what fellowship with God actually mean.

okay, I accidentally ran into this

Fellowship is broad, by the best way to fellowship or worship is to ask that you be baptised with the Holy Ghost, if you desire it, God will give it to you

John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I think jiggaz will agree with me that fellowship is the same with worship, but if Jiggaz has anything to add, he will, am still growing up

The Bible spoke about ever learning, but learning is good when it takes us closer to the truth

Paul said this as the Holy Ghost gave Him utterance

Romans 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
.

The same with John 4:23-24 up there. You must always know that God is a Spirit, 1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

No one can know what God wants by the flesh, except God's spirit tells or direct Him

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

From the bolded above, let's pray, Father ignite her with fire, let her love for you begin to increase yet more and more in all knowledge, she shall be vast for you


in Jesus name

Jesus wins

I was rushing to type as God inspired, so I will modify the post

Faith is sweet at times. This is my latest confession, because I will have what I say. The Bible said, the silver and the gold are God's.

Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.

Psalm 50:10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

I believe so many of us don't know what faith is all about.

Matthew 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

Genesis 1:1-31 God kept saying, "let there be this" and it was good, if it's not there yet, you keep speaking

Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

we understand that the world was framed. so you are a son of God to reframe the word

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

God told Isaiah, keep me in remember,

Isaiah 43:26 Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.

stop xtiticicicing the faith movement, cause without it it's impossible yi please God

Hebrews 11
6 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.

u again!... Can u heal an amputee

God heals

bloodofthelamb:
RESTORING AN AMPUTEE IS NOT AN ISSUE FOR MY GOD AND SAVIOUR CHRIST JESUS...

Glory

akintom:
Are you no longer one of the Yahwehs? You just ridiculed the nazarene cum Yahweh here.

I always stand with Yahweh

My point is, if God made us from clay, then Yahweh can make legs out of clay too, and that would heal an amputee legs. Too good to be true right. Yahweh created heaven and earth, and all that's in it. What will it then take Him to turn sand to flesh, seeing that's what the Bible said about creation.

Nice one. I love piece like this, thanks

The Bible said, Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

One thing information does is to bring alignment and balance.

I believe one thing I love doing is disproving the proved, so you see you for yourself

jiggaz:
The Laodicean church was one of the most messed up churches in the Bible. So I guess it should be no surprise that today it remains one of the most preached about churches. We can learn a lot from other people’s mistakes.

In Revelations 3:14-21, Jesus gives the Laodicean church a stern warning. It was a warning that was intended to save them. In other words, Jesus was showing them the way to freedom, redemption and life. (That sounds good right?) Yet for 2,000 years preachers have used Jesus’ words as a religious rod for beating Christians.

And when Christians allow themselves to be condemned by this sort of thing, it’s like taking someone else’s medicine.

In Part 1 of this series I asked, what made the Laodiceans lukewarm? (Hint: it wasn’t apathy.) In Part 2, I asked, why did the Laodiceans make Jesus nauseous? (Hint: perhaps they reminded him of the people who nailed him to the cross.)

In today’s post I want to look more closely at Jesus’ assessment of the Laodiceans:

“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” (Rev 3:17)

Self-righteousness says, “I have made it on my own. I don’t need a thing.” This is exactly what the Laodiceans were saying to themselves. But Jesus said the truth was very different. He said they were lost and in danger of rejection.

Jesus never wastes words. He never says anything he doesn’t mean. So when he says the Laodiceans are “wretched and pitiful,” he is saying they are in a bad state. Just so they don’t have any uncertainty about this, he adds that they’re also “poor, blind and naked.”

Who is Jesus talking to?

Now here’s the $64,000 question. Is Jesus talking to sinners or saints? Were the Laodiceans saved or lost when Jesus gave them this message?

I can think of three reasons why we might think the Laodiceans were Christians:

(1) They’re collectively referred to as a “church.”
(2) The idea of Jesus vomiting them out of his body makes us think they were at least once part of his body.
(3) Jesus says, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline.” Discipline is usually reserved for sons while love suggests the body of Christ.

(Have I missed other reasons?)

But here are ten reasons why many of the Laodiceans were probably not saved:

(1) Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian. There are many people in church who don’t know Jesus, who have neither repented nor put their trust in him. The Laodiceans may have called themselves a church, but they were a church in name only. They may have acted godly, but theirs’ was a counterfeit, useless form of godliness.

(2) We vomit up things that are foreign and do not belong to us. We don’t vomit up body parts. To use the vomit argument as evidence of the Laodicean’s membership in the body of Christ is like saying we can vomit up an arm or a foot.

(3) The love of God is not limited to the church. “For God so loved the world that gave his only Son” (Jn 3:16). Jesus said “love your enemies” and while we were his enemies he reconciled us to God (Rms 5:10). We might say a sinner is not loved by God. But God is in the business of calling the unlovely and unloved “my loved one” (Rms 9:25), and thank God he did or you wouldn’t be reading this! And while it’s true sons get special attention from their fathers (Heb 12:, the whole world needs a life-saving rebuke from a loving Savior. Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict the world (not Christians) of sin (Jn 16:9). It is perfectly consistent with Jesus’ character and mission to say he loves sinners enough to rebuke them.

(4) Of all the seven churches Jesus addresses in Revelations 1-3, the Laodicean church is the only one where Jesus has nothing positive to say. There is no affirmation, nothing to commend. Even in the churches where there was rampant sin (e.g., Sardis) Jesus could identify a “few who had not soiled their clothes.” But no group of believers is singled out in Laodicea.

(5) Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus refer to Christians as “wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” Yet these terms are used in many places to describe sinners in general and religious sinners in particular. In Matthew 23 Jesus describes the Pharisees as “blind” five times. It is the lost who are wretched and pitiful, not those who’ve been redeemed and are now kept by Jesus.

(6) The Laodiceans were mixing law and grace just like the Galatians, but unlike the Galatians there is no hint that they ever “began with the Spirit” (Gal 3:3). The Galatians had witnessed a move of God, but by the time Paul wrote to them they were “deserting the one who called you” (Gal 1:6). There is no indication that the Laodiceans are walking away from God. There is no evidence to suggest they had ever received the grace of God.

(7) Even though he had not met them personally, Paul wanted the Laodiceans to read the letter he wrote to the Colossians (Col 2:1, 4:16). For some reason Paul saw a need to warn the Laodiceans against being taken captive through “hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human traditions and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ” (Col 2:. This hints at Pharisaical tendencies that promote works and independence from God. Paul wanted them to reject this teaching and become wholly dependent on Christ. Evidently they didn’t listen because by the time of John’s vision they were saying “we don’t need a thing.”

( Jesus said to Nicodemus, “Those who believe in the Son are not judged” (Jn 3:18, GNB). Other translations use the word “condemned.” In Revelations 3 Jesus is judging the Laodiceans. He is hinting that they are at risk of being condemned and utterly rejected. Condemnation and rejection is what happens to unrepentant sinners. There is “no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus” (Rm 8:1), not now, not ever.

(9) Five of the Revelations churches are accused by Jesus of various misdeeds. Four of those churches (Ephesus, Pergamum, Thyatira and Sardis) are rebuked for bad doctrine which has led to bad deeds. But with the Laodiceans the fault is themselves. Their deeds reveal that they are lukewarm. The other churches are told to “remember,” “repent” and “hold fast” to what they already have. But the Laodiceans have nothing to remember, nothing to hold onto. There is nothing they have that might save them from being rejected by Jesus.

(10) Jesus said he was on the outside knocking and wondering whether anyone would hear his voice and open the door for him to come in (Rev 3:20). Jesus has no fellowship with sinners, just as light doesn’t keep company with darkness. Although some have used this text in reference to Christians, it’s hard to reconcile with Colossians 1:27 where Paul writes that “Christ is in you.” To say Jesus was speaking to Christians is like saying Christ can be inside you and outside you at the same time. No, Jesus is addressing those who have not yet invited him in (i.e., sinners).

A church full of sinners?!

Is it possible that an entire church can be so caught up with their own religious performance that they don’t realize that they have left Jesus standing outside?

“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” (Rev 3:20)

A church is supposed to be an embassy for the kingdom of heaven. It’s supposed to be a place where people come to have an encounter with the living God. The sick get healed, the oppressed get delivered, the blind see, and the prisoners are freed. But in a church that is full of self-righteous religion none of these things can happen because Jesus isn’t there.

Why did Jesus say the Laodiceans were wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked? For the same reason he said the Pharisees were woeful and blind.

“You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.” (Mt 23:13)

Who’s wretched and pitiful? It’s the one outside the kingdom. Who’s poor? It is the one who has not received the riches of God’s grace. Who’s blind? It is the one who does not see what Jesus has already done for him. Who’s naked? It is the one who clothes himself with filthy acts of self-righteousness in a doomed attempt to make himself acceptable to a holy and perfection-demanding God.

Religion is bad for you

Nothing will keep you out of the kingdom of heaven like man-made religion. Nothing will keep you from the grace of God like self-righteousness. Sin will kill you but religion will inoculate you against the only cure. It will give you a false sense that all is well, that you are rich and do not need a thing. And that’s why Jesus hates it.

In Part 4, I will look at the only remedy that Jesus offers for the curse of religion.

I believe the letters to the 7 churches is one many churches should look into to balance in God or align

hopefulLandlord:
is this a joke

Lol, even Adeboye wouldn't dare try healing an amputee, it would ruin business for him

He'd rather say "there's somebody here tonight who is having serious headache, God told me to tell you that he's healing you tonight"

"Somebody shout Hallelujah"

lol

Walia, you fit kill person

Baba Adeboye is not a business man pls, I so much respect Baba

I knew one of you will come around

Well, if I want to heal an amputee,that's what am gonna do.

Ezekiel, we all know made bones to join to its bones in the valley of dry bone.

Jesus spat on the sand, mixed with a little saliva and an eye was birthed.

Elijah called fire from heaven to burn the wood, the stones and the sacrifice..

Moses rod became *

But at creation, God took clay, mudded it, and breath on it, and it became flesh

So, how do you heal an amputee, faith without works is dead

Mud some sand, bring the guys leg to it, lay hands and let the dry bones live

hahn:
I live around Simawa area. You can take a bike to where I stay. Let us have a drink(holy wine) and argue a bit.

Whayasay?

Ooooooh, am not really Lagos based, I will really love to meet you, probably with Adepeter2027 too.

About the Holy wine, loooool, I believe Yahweh would have given me too many of that before I get to your place. You might want to drink my Yahweh wine, I drink them like everyday, and I love staying drunk. You know, Yahweh's wine is not the kind you wanna drink, but when you take a sip, even 1sharon will testify to Hopefullandlord that the Lord is good

hopefulLandlord:
amputee miracle dey there too? only that one is worth verifying for us but Yahweh is apparently not in the business of doing that

Yea is sure into doing that, Yahweh raises the dead, heals the blind and causes things to come out from where its not.

If I were to heal an amputee, it's very simple.

I mud a sand or clay in a leg shape manner and that's my new thread

adepeter2027:

Thank you very much, bro. I will act on these, although I have told her how I feel. As for dancing, I wouldn't mind at all. I am into music myself I come from a family of artists. I am not from Delta state but I will read about the state in my leisuretime. Thank you once again.

hmmmm, love in the air,

I am kinda preaching to her on my other monik, www.Nairaland.com/hier but she seem to be playing difficult. Though she always doesn't answer my question straight up.

BluntBoy:
That is not a problem. I used to have the oath too when I joined the Islam section to preach the Good News. Those people got tired of me and removed the nonsense from my profile.

Okay

eserved person and I don't want to push the limits for now.[/quote]about the limit, you might be friend zoned, or what do you think

Do you visit her profile, she seem to have taken the Islam oath, but I think its quite strange. just keep praying for her, I'm quite confused

BluntBoy:
She knows. From observing her comments, she appears to me to be a very reserved person and I don't want to push the limits for now.

Well, she is this kind of person that is reserved, lemme say, easily bored, no offense, finding pleasure in nothing, hmmmm, you really have so much to do.

From her signature, she claimed to like dancing. What do you think about that. I think you need to be bold enough to tell her your mind. Don't mind what she might think, but she said she's from Delta state, are you from delta state. Moreso, try to work on her age, she might consider you too young for her. And I think you should follow her, but keep everything to NL
