OLAADEGBU:
Rejecting the true God of creation is not a capital crime in our Christian economy today but those verses reveals how God feels about people who commit the same crime of treason and will be punished on Judgment Day.

Glory be to God who has chosen me, a simpleton, for Christ.

"For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things that are mighty" (1 Corinthians 1:26-27).

You're getting it wrong... See where you're fulfilling scriptures

Hating on other religion is foolishness. Where's the love of Christ in you?

Mr I-am-not-like-other-men, you seem to have hastily forgotten this scripture, or outrighly feign ignorance, or worse.

Mat 5:44
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Jesus never said publish speculations, discuss propagandas, theories and fallacies, (perceived true by some belligerent few) about your 'enemies'

He said you should [size=18pt]LOVE, BLESS, DO GOOD, and PRAY[/size] for them. I don't see you doing any of these, so far in all your threads thus far.

Keep Praying!-Tuesday, September 8th .

Pastor Chris

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint (Luke 18:1).

Someone once lamented, "As much as I pray for my country, it appears that the wickedness, especially from the political leaders, keeps increasing. Can God still intervene? Is there need for me to keep praying?"

The Word of God admonishes us to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17). In Luke 18:1-8, the Lord Jesus emphasized the importance of persistence in prayer. This is because being the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, you can change anything through prayer. The divine power necessary to cause that change is in you; it was deposited in you the moment you received the Holy Spirit into your life (Acts 1:8 ).

Moreover, James 5:16 (AMP) says, "...The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]." Continue to pray for your country. The Lord is the God of all flesh, and there's nothing too difficult for Him to do (Jeremiah 32:27). He's the God of possibilities, and He's given you the power of attorney to use the Name of Jesus and effect the changes you desire. Therefore, in praying for your country and other nations of the world, let these thoughts be in your mind.

The God to whom we pray, reigns and rules in the affairs of men: "...to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men" (Daniel 4:17). Consider what He did to King Nebuchadnezzar, who ruled his kingdom with absolute power. The Lord deposed him from his glory, and drove him out from among men, to dwell in the wilderness. God also restored him to office after he repented.

God has power over every nation and sets in authority anyone that He chooses (Romans 13:1). When He tells you to pray for your country, it's because He's given you the authority to decree a thing and have it established (Job 22:28). Intercede for as long as it takes for peace, continued progress, and stability in your country. Pray as though it depended on you alone to effect changes in your nation, and the truth is, it does; because you're the salt of the earth.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for teaching me to pray without ceasing for my country. I thank you for your divine power and wisdom that's released, even now, upon the leaders and political office holders for them to do your will, and for righteousness to be established in the land and in the hearts of men, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Further Study:
1 Timothy 2:1-3
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

Psalm 122:6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

OLAADEGBU:
Don't be a quidnunc.

Seems you just learnt a new word and don't know how to use it.

Dear Lord Jesus!



What's happening here?!

OLAADEGBU:
If I supply the Scriptures of Christ will that suffice since it's not coming from Chris?



If the Words of Christ means anything to you then consider these eternal Words of His when He was responding to a Samaritan woman who believed in another religion:

"You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22).

I'm sure if you were there at the time Jesus uttered this statement you would have said that Jesus is intolerant of other people's religion (Samaritans).

Our Lord Jesus seemed to be harsh when addressing this Gentile woman who came seeking help for her daughter. What would have been your thoughts at this time knowing that these kind of words from the mouth of Christ are strange to you?

"I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 15:24).

What Jesus said to this Caananite woman was even harsher when He compared her to dogs:

"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs" (Matthew 15:26).

Here again you would have accused Jesus of intolerance, bigotry and racism and that He was not sensitive to the Gentile woman's feelings.

"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).

When Jesus asserted that He is the Way to God, the Truth of God and the Life in God your likes will accuse Him of being intolerant of other ways and this is the main reason why true Christians are being persecuted for being 'unloving' and 'unsympathetic' to people's feelings when they say Jesus is the only way. Jesus says: 'No one comes to the Father but through Me'. And I reiterate the same and say every other proposal is one of darkness. You can call me an intolerant hater if you like they did the same to Christ.

Horse crap. I dare you to open a thread with this write you have, let me come whip you there.

Until then, I wouldn't want to derail the pounding you're getting here.

Is this your email address to send the for your eyes only evidences to?

Pasting Anita@pastoranita.org doesnt prove its hers

You were acting the doubting Thomas, not believing the blog is hers
and was insisting on not being convinced that the blog is hers,
so asked you to provide an email address to send the for your eyes only evidences to

I asked to privately send them to you, as they are sensitive details which I wouldnt like to share publicly on this thread

What are you even saying?

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge... (Hosea 4:6)

Sad as this may sound, it's true nonetheless! God's people suffer in life, not because they don't pray enough or love God enough, but because they lack accurate and adequate knowledge of the Word. Reiterating this, the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 22:29, "...Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures...."

When people lack accurate and relevant spiritual information from God's Word, they experience defeat and failure. This isn't because they're "weak" Christians or because God couldn't deliver them; it's just the plain and inevitable result of ignorance.

Psalm 82:5-7 is so touching; it describes the debacle and despondency of the one who's ignorant of his heritage and identity in Christ. It says, "They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes." Pathetic!

Now you can better understand why in the lives of some people, things aren't just happening the way they should; they're putting in all the efforts they could, yet nothing productive is coming out. What's the problem? Ignorance: they know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness, destroyed by sickness and plummeted by the harsh elements of this world. Is this the lot for the Christian? Emphatically no! The Bible declares, "...but through knowledge shall the just be delivered" (Proverbs 11:9).

If you have knowledge, there'll be a difference in your life. The knowledge of God's Word will build you up, and deliver your God-given inheritance into your hands (Acts 20:32).

If you've been wondering why your experiences haven't been as victorious as the Word describes, you need to spend more time studying and meditating on the Word. Build your faith with the Word of God, for faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17).

As the Word comes to you, don't just agree by way of mental assent, respond by confessing the same things. Soon enough, you'll change the situation.

Scholar8200:
Daniel said this to Nebuchadnezzar in interpreting the latter's dream in Daniel 2:37

Quite correct. She said the King of Kings ... Daniel said "Thou, O king, art a king of kings.

BBig difference. Thanks buddy!

Sheikwonder:
I am not trying to paint the Arab world in bad light,but the fact remains that they are not in solidarity.

[s]Countries with means such as UAE,Saudi Arabia etc. do not grant visas to Syrians because of the fear of radicalization,hence you never hear of terrorist cells there.[/s] They would rather have the virus without than within.The only Arab countries that grant free access are also war ravaged e.g Yemen,Libya etc

Some migrant Syrians have blasted their fellow Arabs who have made it hard for them to gain access to their countries.The so called 'infidels' are doing the humanitarian work which their muslim neighbors are not wont to do.You only need to look at the outpouring of praise from the Syrians on Merkel to know that they are truly grateful.The Germans have done a huge lot.

Some other Europeans e.g UK prefer to address the root cause of the issue i.e the war in Syria by sending monetary support to Syria.Their reluctance may stem from their history with extremism e.g 7/7 underground bombings
Y
More,later...

In fact Ola... Come with 80leaves long note book... You've got alot of tutorials here.

Thanks bro, for enlightening Ola,but Officially, Syrians can apply for a tourist visa or work permit in order to enter a Gulf state.

However, the process is costly, and there is a widespread perception that many Gulf states have unwritten restrictions in place that make it hard for Syrians to be granted a visa in practice. (hundreds of thousands cannot afford this, nor have time for the tedious processes, hence, they look to Europe... Where democracy to an extent, binds them to help)

This comes as part of wider obstacles facing Syrians, who are required to obtain rarely granted visas to enter almost all Arab countries.

Without a visa, Syrians are not currently allowed to enter Arab countries except for Algeria, Mauritania, Sudan and Yemen.

Yemen is in shreds... Syria is better that Sudan et al. This is outside considering the proximity sef.

Sheikwonder:
It's hard to discuss issues like this without being sentimental but I'll try.

The migration issue has polarized Europe.Germany is prepared to welcome as much as 800k Syrians.Poland,Hungary,Belgium & a few others consider it a risk due to the fear of radicalisation.

Belgium is in fact a small country as well as much of Western Europe.It is about the size of Borno state.A mass influx of people is bound to have a big effect.Germany are a European superpower with economic means to support them.Besides they feel that as Big Brother of Europe,they hold a moral obligation.More importantly though less apparent,they are trying to pay penance for the evils of 1945 which incidentally marks 70 years since WW2.

As to why other Arab nations have not accomodated the Syrians,I shall try to explain in my next post.

Ola, come and take notes o... Come with biro and note pad.

OLAADEGBU:
If you were thinking straight you would be asking why the refugees are migrating to Europe instead of Muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia.

Ruminate on these words... Perhaps a miracle will happen to your reasoning ability.

Coz it is stewpid to say the Syrians started a war because they wanted to pretend to be refugees.

It is even more stewpid to say after becoming refugees they decided to take the most dangerous path to entering Europe, thereby lossing their loved ones ib horrendous situations.

Even more daft is to pretend that refugees who barely number 250000 would pose a threa100s of millions of Europeans.

Oduduwaboy:
So its all about the U.S & Western Europe now? How about Russia the chief destabilizer? Why are the muslims in Iran, Iraq & Afghanistan not heading towards Russia and China?

Which of both countries practice democracy?

OLAADEGBU:
Don't be a Pecksniffian. Listen to how our Lord Jesus was not hesitant to call a spade a spade and not an agricultural implement:

"O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34).

Using scriptures to justify your outlandish claims, gossip and hate ladened writings.

Can you show me where Jesus was intolerant of other religions... Samrarians, Greeks, Romans.... Gentiles in general.

.. Take your time, I can wait for the scriptures.

OLAADEGBU:
I must have touched a nerve somewhere. How has your post addressed the OP?

It has bro..... You're too drown in hate to notice it.

OLAADEGBU:
If you were thinking straight you would be asking why the refugees are migrating to Europe instead of Muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia.

I already told you.. Majorly because of the harsh nature of the Sharia laws. They love democracy, they love the free world.

That's common sense, not rocket science as you're thinking it is.

The Importance Of Knowledge - Monday, September 7th .

Ola, see what your reasoning is causing you.

The guy just took you to the cleaners.

OLAADEGBU:
Good observation.

You're no different from them extremists. Jesus will NEVER act like you're doing here.

Why call people Jesus died for, a cancer? Pray, intercede... Not come here and spread hate in the guise of spreading the truth...go out there and preach and win others to Christ, rather than come here and accuse, spread hate and condemn.

OLAADEGBU:
Why wouldn't you think the same? You can't think crooked and walk straight.

Mr i-am-not-like-other-men, you 'straight thinking' is making you walk crooked...

How can light and darkness agree? If you say you are in the light then your darkness is really deep.

Mr i-am-not-like-other-men, I'm glad you're not God...i do not endorse your cynical attack on Muslims, and the absurd theories you cook up. If that's darkness, then I may as well reject your light...

You have just exposed yourself that you are operating by the same spirit as the attacker.

Eyaaaa... E pain am.

You are either for Christ or against Him, there is no middle ground.

Mr i-am-not-like-other-men, no Wahala... Your crusade here is really 'for Christ'.

[quote author=vedaxcool post=37637957]

So you mean the syrian started a war among themselves, which has caused many deaths, used the more perilous means of travelling to Europe all in the name of "invading" Europe?

I was thinking the same too. Syrian war was not the doings of Syrians... And Muslims have always been migrating due to harsh nature of the sharia law.

Bros you make a good case that seeks to tie extreme dumbness and intellectual indolence to being a Christians fundamentalist.

I could not agree less. Apt description by the way.

Your post has all the trappings of being an odoriferous foolery, inspiring only deviant and misguided of men!

Neither do I. Considering how meek Jesus was, he most likely didn't possess a loud and commanding voice.

Wrong assumption. I've read about Him well enough...

He yelled at em traders... I hope you can imagine his fury as He threw them stuffs away. Picture a typical market, and imagine the voice and strength of one who could throw things around, and chase em traders.

Oh.. He gave a loud shout at Lazarus' tomb... Meeehn... Go read about that.

He had a firm loud voice against em Pharisees...should I go on?

In my secondary school days, we were about 4,000+ students, our principal could never be heard properly by all the students without the aid of a microphone.

That's because there was no wind to convey the message further and clearer.

It's obvious the story teller exaggerated or it never even happened.

Welcome to atheism 101

By the way, what exactly did he preach about? It seems the only thing he did was feed people.

But the wind direction should propagate the sound much better to the direction it is going
