Phil.2.1 - 4
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and sympathetic?
Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one heart and purpose. Don't be selfish; don't live to make a good impression on others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself. Don't think only about your own affairs, but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing.

(So to have a humble mindset of ourselves just as even Jesus did.)

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped; but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,...(Philippians 2: 5 - 9)

Unfortunately there are those who see themselves as a god and even treat themselves as such, such a mindset is reflected in their reaction against suffering nor sacrificing themselves for others. Listen what we believe affects how we behave. If God wants you to die for your brethren would you? To see yourself as nothing and others better than you, it is because you understand that God being in us and using us doesn't make us equal with Him even though we are one with Him. Infact the proof that God is in us and that we are like Christ is the humility to do God's will even when there are no physical blessings attached to it. But know that has God rewarded Jesus, He will reward us and we will then gain.

13 -16
For God is working in you, giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him.
In everything you do, stay away from complaining and arguing, so that no one can speak a word of blame against you. You are to live clean, innocent lives as children of God in a dark world full of crooked and perverse people. Let your lives shine brightly before them.
Hold tightly to the word of life, so that when Christ returns, I will be proud that I did not lose the race and that my work was not useless.



It is God and His power that enables us to be like Christ, knowing this should enable us to be humble and merciful to others.

Paul had that mind of Christ, to be like Christ, ready to suffer and sacrifice, did he suffer because he was lazy or uneducated, no, but because there were those who hindered and didn't support the spread of the gospel through him. Same with Timothy who almost died.

They faced the opposition of religion and didn't relent.

The letter from Paul and Timothy

Phil.1.9 - 11
I pray that your love for each other will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in your knowledge and understanding.
For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until Christ returns. Being filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Do we truly understand what really matters, do we truly know what is best, that because Christ is in us, the good things expected to come from our lives is righteousness. Is your expectation for having Christ in you that good things should come to you? Our expectations should be for good to come from us.

Phil.1.20 - 24
For I live in eager expectation and hope that I will never do anything that causes me shame, but that I will always be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past, and that my life will always honor Christ, whether I live or I die.
For to me, living is for Christ, and dying is even better. Yet if I live, that means fruitful service for Christ. I really don't know which is better. I'm torn between two desires: Sometimes I want to live, and sometimes I long to go and be with Christ. That would be far better for me. but it is better for you that I live.

Our expectations in life will affect our reactions to the things we experience in life. When we understand that being like Christ is us realizing that our only gain is to die in God's will and not considering what to gain while we live, our expectations will align with God's word.

To some it is hard to accept such a fate that gives up on this life for the hope of an eternal one, but we are called to such hope and lifestyle. But when you begin to compare yourself with those who live to gain in this world, you would feel discouraged and intimated, you won't even be able to confess boldly what you believe.


Phil.1.28-29
Don't be intimidated by your enemies. This will be a sign to them that they are going to be destroyed, but that you are going to be saved, even by God himself.
For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for him.

So being like Christ requires us to not only believe in him but to suffer for him, if you are unaware that Jesus tells us to pick up our cross and follow him, it's either you didn't read the gospel or you were only told part of the gospel that tells you to believe and to some, they may have been taught to believe for their own earthly benefits. Our call to suffer is why a comforter was sent to us, and our suffering should be as a result of love, of loving one another.

Gabrielshow24:
I know what the scriptures says concerning Jesus.

I will like to see your definition of God.
I will also like to see what makes God, God in your eyes🤨!!!

So far, you have been avoiding my direct questions🤨!!!

Let's see your ontological definition of God!

Side Note, All what the scriptures above prove is the Godship and Lordship of Jesus!!!

John.5.39 "You search the Scriptures because you believe they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!
John.5.46 But if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me because he wrote about me.
Deut.18.15 "The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites, and you must listen to that prophet.
Deut.18.19 I will personally deal with anyone who will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf.

Antichristian2:
Try and read well.

Gabrielshow24:
Hello🙃
What's your definition of God?
And what make God God? 🤨

Eph.1.2 - 3
May grace and peace be yours, sent to you from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ.

Eph.1.16 - 17 I have never stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.

Eph.4.6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.


Eph.6.23 - 24
May God give you peace, dear brothers and sisters, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. May God's grace be upon all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love. 🙏🏾

Antichristian2:
How do you pray for a people that already had a fixed count?

God gave Jesus some people he could save from Israel. And he could only save those people and not others! All these your analogy na programed lamba!

Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me...John 6-37-39

you are asking me how to pray for people to repent?

Knowing the love of Christ is what leads to us be filled God's life and power. Ephesians teaches me to live in his love, submit to it and speak according to it, this is what commands the power to live for God and resist the devil. If there is any secret to having God in us, to having the power of God at work in us, then it is our knowledge of what the love of Christ is.

Eph.3.16 - 19
I pray God strengthens you with power through His Spirit within you, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; so that you become rooted and grounded in love, being able to understand with all God's people the greatness and to know the exceeding knowledge of the love of Christ so that you may be full of God.

In Ephesians 1, Paul prays for the believers to receive the Spirit of wisdom and come to know and to understand God's promises and power because there is something this revelation from God does in us. So Paul continues the prayer in chapter 3 of his letter, that we may come to know and understand God's love in accepting us and for us to know God's plan, that through us, the church, God would reveal His wisdom to the principalities and powers according to His plan carried out through Jesus Christ.

And the only way for us to be full of God, to have boldness, and to be full of God's life and power is by how much we know and understand God's plan and His love for us through Christ.

You see the purpose of the power is to bring about our unity and the fruit of the spirit and that we in turn tell others about Jesus, about the knowledge of God's son.

Eph.4.11 - 15
He is the one who gave these gifts to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ. Then we will no longer be like children, forever changing our minds about what we believe because someone has told us something different or because someone has cleverly lied to us and made the lie sound like the truth.
Instead, we will hold to the truth in love, becoming more and more in every way like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.


The rest is worth reading of things we are not expected to do as children of God and followers of Jesus Christ. Especially in what we say, immorality, anger, greed, lust and love for the things of the world things we are to have repented and follow Jesus. With a warning to ignore those who fool others that greed or worldly desires are okay. Instead Paul calls such people, who are covertous, idolaters who won't inherit God's Kingdom. Jesus said if we love him we would obey him, so we forsake all those things to follow him.

So as ministers our job is to preach God's way and teach you the truth in love, while praying that you come to know and understand it, so that you live life the way God wants and not be tossed into confusion by various different teachings and principles that go against hard work and honesty, packaged in ways that makes one more focused on what pleases them and what they want rather than God.

Eph.5.10-11Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them.

A knowledge and understanding that brings us complete and perfect submission to God.

Eph.5.24 As the church submits to Christ, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything.

As we see, the example wives are to follow is our lives as believers which is expected of us that we submit to Jesus in everything. Not just submitting when it pleases us or goes accordingly to what we want and desire.

For if we are full of the Spirit and speak from the spirit our words and deeds would be true and reveal the love of God, what we say would agree with what Jesus said and says. And until we submit completely to God and put on His armor, we cannot and would not be able to resist the devil whom we should continually resist. When we desire things without seeking not submitting to God's will, we put ourselves at a disadvantage of resisting the devil.

So what is this love that you have to know;


Eph.1.3-14

How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ. Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the one(Jesus) he loves.


In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

God's secret plan has now been revealed to us; it is a plan centered on Christ, designed long ago according to his good pleasure. And this is his plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ--everything in heaven and on earth.

Furthermore, because of Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us from the beginning, and all things happen just as he decided long ago. God's purpose was that we who were the first to trust in Christ should praise our glorious God. And now you also have heard the truth, the gospel(Good News) that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us everything he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God.


If you do not understand this, then please ask, for to know this and to understand this love, is to have God's power. For this is the love of God through Christ that saves even little children.

God bless.

Nicenancy:
So my husband was visited by his mother. My husband has a habit of praying at night. He began praying (not loud) at midnight. His mother who was in the other room rushed in and said "stop that, so something doesn't enter your mind."


There have been several instances where my mother in law has treated my husband like he is a stranger

One Christmas, my husband bought clothes for his mother — his mother rejected them, "they are not quality, why don't you use them yourself?"

She is used to assassinating my husband's character to virtually everybody.

She is fond of speaking against the fact that my husband speaks in tongues, "always praying in tongues meanwhile it doesn't reflect in your life, even Satan won't listen to your prayers."

She is fond of casting aspersions at my husband "some people always read the Bible yet are very dirty"

My mother in-law has a son who has suffered epilepsy for 30 years now; my husband and his kinsmen have spent so much money on this epilepsy yet no cure. My mother periodically will recommend a new place for the healing of this epileptic but the monies will always go down the drain.

My husband has since resolved not to contribute to that epilepsy scheme again since he believes it is spiritual and a scheme to drain the family.

We once lived with her in my husband's late father's home where my mother in law also lived. My mother in law always picked quarrels with us including our little children, finally we parked out. The day we finally left, my mother-in law literally swept were our feet had touched with a broom.

My husband had a single room apartment in that compound that he gave out for rent. No tenant could live in that room. All tenants complained of strange and scary encounters at night in that room. When they all inquire, they are told that there is a spiritual dispute over ownership of that room between my husband and his mother. Eventually, my husband gave this keys to the room to his mother and now tenants can occupy the room.

All the other siblings of my husband are faced with serious life challenges and my mother in law has brainwashed all of them against my husband.
Kindly analyze this situation

Are these signs of witchcraft?

Do witches hate prayer?

Can a mother bewitch her own son?

Please advise.

you have referred to her more times as mother in law than your husband's mother, I thought he may not be her biological child.

By the way, witches are not beings you try to logically analyze, if witches in stories are said to eat their own children not sure we should expect a witch not to hate and hurt their children.

Asking if she is a witch, some people get bewitched and act like witches even though they themselves are not.

But from you write up it is clear you are dealing with forces of wickedness be it in the woman or from elsewhere.

Any advice, well pray, you both should ask God for mercy and deliverance for your family. Because if God destroys stronghold of wickedness lives and souls would be saved, even the siblings and possibly mother in law may repent and be saved as well. You can add fasting and charity to it.

WHY DO CHRISTIANS HOLD ALL NIGHT LONG PRAYERS??

Some people called it night vigil, or night watch. Vigil actually means to watch and be alert.

And so let us use the word all night long watching and praying for a particular purpose or a specific event. Whatever must have kept you awoken at night to intercede isn't our subject of discussion, neither the name it's called.

The question we seek to answer is why the night watch or vigil are held on Fridays mostly.

The question is, is it because it is the end of the week, or TGIF formats, why is the night prayers held on Fridays??

For us we believe it's the beginning of the Sabbath day, because you remember that the Sabbath day is on Saturday, the 7th day, the complete circle of the days. The day begins on Sunday and ends up at Saturday.

And so from Friday prayers cumulating on Saturday Sabbath day. In the right order, from the beginning, the prayers should have continued till the end of the Sabbath, but they end up so quickly and go home without celebrating the real rest from the Friday toils and troubles.

Continue in Prayers.

Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Ephesians 6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 6:20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

What do you think??

wait you want the vigil to continue until Saturday evening?

helinues:
Yes

I always pray for them to be productive so that they won't have my time again

Antichristian2:
Of what use is Jesus praying for the enemies he's coming to kill later according to the Bible?

you pray for them to repent and change from their wicked ways na

The kingdom principle for financial blessing revolves around obedience to Jesus which implies you working hard and giving without announcing yourself nor expecting to collect. A principle that teachings you that your reward will be in the kingdom of God where we will live in true dominion.

And Yet Jesus was conceived and born by a woman

Luke.1.31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.
Luke.1.32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,...

Why is God closer to some of His Children than others?

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8

Not many answer God's call to draw closer to Him.

The woman asked Jesus, where should I go and worship God. Jesus should have answered anywhere or either place or picked temple or a mountain but Jesus said

John.4.21 - Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John.4.22 - Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
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.
John.4.24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Completely true, permit me to add number 8

8. ) Giving with unforgiveness especially when you are the offender

Matthew 5:23-24 New Century Version (NCV)
“So when you offer your gift to God at the altar, and you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there at the altar. Go and make peace with that person, and then come and offer your gift.

God will not judge them for a life that they did not live nor for sins cleansed by the blood of the Lamb of God.
God sees and judges the heart of all, but you who have been given life you would be asked to give an account for what has been given to you and how you used it, be it life, health, wealth and every talent and gift given to you. God will give the same salvation to the one who worked for one minute with the one who worked 8hours, the same salvation to the one who lived for a minute, also to the one who obeyed and worked for 80years+.


Expect you can prove what I am saying wrong from God's word. For even without baptism, without believing nor hearing about Jesus they are saved by the blood which separates us from the curse of sin and death we receive from Adam. So salvation is not based on your tribe, "race" or religion.

Just as we are born the first time not by our will or effort, we also do not make ourselves born again but Jesus does, the living word of God does. So God brings us to him that we may be saved, it is sad that being an adult with your wisdom may make you reject him but I hope and pray that you don't.

There are different messages and gospels that pertain salvation and while some are wrong which one then is right?

If you say no, a 2yr old cannot be saved because they are too young or that anyone who says they were born again at 2 were lying, then what is your understanding of what it means to be born again and a child of God?

How can salvation have an age limit when death doesn't?

For those who preach I am questioning what you preach, while for those who believe I am questioning what you believe.

In Matthew 19:14, Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."

Do you hinder little children from going to Jesus, because of what you believe and preach?
According to the true gospel from Jesus even babies can be saved, notice in that Matthew 19 that Jesus did not give the little children commandments like he inquired from the rich man that came to him.

Same is recorded in Mark 10
Mark.10.14-26
When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

This is the message of salvation
Matt.18.
Jesus called a little child and had him stand among them. Then he said, "I assure you, unless you turn from your sins and become as little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.


Jesus saves children and many of them may be greater than those who believe that they are going to be great in heaven. Look even the rich man had to become poor and humble as a child. Any gospel you believe and accept that doesn't save babies isn't the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Meanwhile, when last did you visit an orphanage?

Matt.11.25 At that time Jesus answered and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.

.... My condolences to any reading this that may have lost their child, all I can say to you is, Jesus loves the little children.

How can one claim to have answers and not encourage others to ask questions 🤔

John 14:15 “If you love Me, you will obey what I command.” John 14:21 “Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me… .” John 14:23 “Jesus replied, 'If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. ' ”

StillDtruth:
Now I can say for sure that after all the inquiry and research, I can categorically state that Males and men belong to God and that women belong to Satan.

Yes, at the beginning both male and female were owned by God but as we all see, it was the woman who fell for Satan first.

Then the man fell for woman and not for Satan.

I repeat, the man fell for woman and did not fall for Satan.

But woman fell for Satan.

And man did not.

But man falls for woman if he does not hold himself.

Which is why those who say "if you solve woman problem, all of life's problems are solved" are very very correct!!

Xannadu:
People who use this argument are the one who hardly ever read their bibles - whether physical or app. It's not about reading the bible but doing what it says - how will you know what it says if you don't read it? You'll never hear them say it's not about reading their textbooks but passing knowing the concepts or passing exams. Also you won't find them saying they prefer reading the physical newspapers to the online news

doing obeying and living God's word is more important than just hearing or reading it, not everyone can read but everyone can obey God

James 1:22-25 KJV. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

Matthew 7:24. ESV "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

Maybe they are indeed obeying the one they have heard and understood which is love your neighbor as yourself

may God have mercy on some of us .Ushers will catch u browsing, watching 🎬, chatting .Only for some to quickly change the app to Bible and lie that you are reading your Bible

to them I say, Galatians 6:7-8 NIV. Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Gabrielshow24:
What then is your definition of God?
What makes God God? 🤨

Also, it seems you also like Max have selective amnesia.

There are plethora of verses that allude to Christ's Godship🤨.

This coming from a Christian is rather alarming!!!

Before we continue, kindly give a response to both questions 🤨.

Isaiah 44:6 Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.

Isa.37.16 "O LORD Almighty, God of Israel, you are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth.

1Cor.8.4 So now, what about it? Should we eat meat that has been sacrificed to idols? Well, we all know that an idol is not really a god and that there is only one God and no other.
1Cor.8.6 But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we exist for him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.

Isa.45.5 - I am the LORD; there is no other God. I have prepared you, even though you do not know me, so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the LORD, and there is no other.

Deut.6.4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

Mark.12.29 - Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord.
Mark.12.30 - And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.'
Mark.12.31 - The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these."
Mark.12.32 - The teacher of religious law replied, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth by saying that there is only one God and no other.

John.17.3 Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

1Thess.1.8 - And now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere, even beyond Greece, for wherever we go we find people telling us about your faith in God. We don't need to tell them about it,
1Thess.1.9 - for they themselves keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the true and living God.
1Thess.1.10 - And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God's Son from heaven--Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the one who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment.

1John.5.20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we are in God because we are in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.

1Tim.2.5 For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus.
