I'm impressed the way you defend your pastor I only hope you defend the scriptures that way.

Funny how you now play coy. You're putting your reputation on the line, by peddling on rumours and old wives tale.


Before long, if you keep at it, you'd end up like drummaboy.

Good news is, he learnt.

remsonik:
You have been here since 2009. So what??

Means I've seen it all... And I know your category.. I know the type of nairalander you are.

Probably popular than me on Nairaland isn't that your point?

Well, that's not difficult to deduce... But, that ain't my point. My point is,the joke is on you for thinking I'm an attention seeking teenager.

Does age signify maturity?

Awwwww... Don't get pained now ma'am.
You sounding like the pic below..
https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/rrr.gif

Where does age come in here? You mean age on nairaland or age outside? But, to think of it, you were the one who brought the age thing here... Teenage age to start with... Now, you're stinging yourself with statements you made, trying to get me wallow with your age debacle? Told you, I know your category.. The 'matured', 'respect me' 'I don't take nonsense' type of neonates,who always want folks to see things their way, even though they don't have a clue of what's going on

Who cares about online popularity or fame?

You were the madam who brought this up na... Hahhahahahahahhazhhzzhhzhz

https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/lel1.gif

See your post

see you as just an attention seeking teenager who would do anything to gain online relevance.

Now, you're the one asking who cares? You cared already joor...When I never put out my nairaland CV sef..

Does the likes and shares on here add a penny to your account?

Lol... Is this your problem?.. If only you knew what I've done on NL... Things translated outside, in life... Likes and share are icing on the cake joor... stop being hypertensive. Lol

Abeg swerve!! How much is his school fees?

Just to show you that the boy is well fed, schooled, and loved... Don't come here and paint he's being abused.... And I'm proud of him.. He's 5 you know!

[size=18pt]We have nigerians[/size] who pay more than that.

I thought you'd want to personalise it na... ...

I obviously thought wrong.

I read the part where you said his mom is a single mother so I won't say more

You've said enough faux pas for a decade. I'd appreciate your further silence. Thanks.

Get your mind off the gutters though. A little advice, our thoughts of other people is a direct reflection of who we really are.

Have a blessed day ma'am. Cheers

remsonik:
Op take this video down.

Make me.

If he were your blood brother will you be proud of putting the video up.

He's like a son to me... And his school fees, if I tell you, you'd delete this baloney you wrote.

Your disclaimer in your post already shows you are not proud of the video.

I am proud of this video... Very very very proud of it. It shows how smart the kid is, though channelled in a wrong way.

I

see you as just an attention seeking teenager who would do anything to gain online relevance.

Ain't it funny how myopic and ill mannered you decided to act?

I've been here since 2009, how many teens created an account by that time? I already have online relevance in ways you can only dream of... Besides, you sound embittered, why?

Better laugh about situations o... Bible says laughter doest good as medicine.

This is bad in every way,no humour or comedy in it.

I'm glad this is just your opinion. It's duly noted. If you don't see comedy in it... It's not my problem.

Imagine the trauma the boy and his parent will be faced with discovering years later that he has been made a subject of public ridicule?.

You see how you just concluded?

The boy laughed about it... His parent (single mum) did... I did, the whole lot did... Guess who imagined trauma?.. Yeah, madam remsonik.

It's not public ridicule, too bad you couldn't see past that. You need Jesus.

Take it down!!

No would do.

Have a great day ma'am.

Apprehend Spiritual Realities - Tuesday, August 25th .

Pastor Chris

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

Being born again, you belong in the Kingdom of God's dear Son, which is a spiritual kingdom. In this kingdom, God has blessed you with all spiritual blessings. These include all things that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3); everything you could ever want, that's consistent with God's perfect will for your life, is already yours in Christ.

Healing, prosperity, success, and the life of constant victories are realities that you can apprehend in the spirit realm, and appropriate to your life. However, laying hold on these and other spiritual realities in order to make them real —vital, tangible experience— in your personal life has to be by faith! What is faith? Faith is the response of the human spirit to the Word of God. The actions you take, your response to those realities that you see in the Word of God is what faith is.

Faith is acting on those realities defined for us by the Holy Spirit, apprehending the realities of the spiritual kingdom to which you belong, and superimposing them on the natural world. In other words, when you talk about your health, healing, prosperity, and your glorious life in Christ, you're not merely trying to make something happen; rather, you're only walking in the realities that exist in the spirit realm to which you belong.

Prayer...
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the power of your Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit in my life. I thank you for enlightening my spirit to know and apprehend all that you've made available to me in Christ. I'm walking in the reality of my inheritance in Christ, conscious that I've overcome the world and its systems, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Further Study:

1 Corinthians 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Execute The Sentence! - Monday, August 24th .

Pastor Chris

Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD (Psalm 149:5-9).

In Christianity, we're not called to fight the devil. Satan, the devil, is our adversary, but he's already defeated! He's been judged, and we're the ones authorized to execute his judgment! So, we don't fight him; we execute the sentence that's already been passed on him; it's part of our heritage in Christ: "To execute upon them (Satan and his demons) the judgment written: this honour have all his saints.

Praise ye the LORD" (Psalm 149:9).In John 16:11, Jesus said, "...the prince of this world is judged"; that means he's been sentenced. Halleluiah! We have the responsibility to keep Satan where he belongs —under our feet! That's why the Bible says to cast him out! You don't struggle with Satan; just cast him out.

The resurrection of Jesus made a champion of you. The Bible says you've been raised together with Him, and made to sit together with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6). You're seated with Christ, far above principalities and powers. You occupy the place of authority in Christ, far above Satan and everything that's connected to him. Glory to God!

Confession...
I'm anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power! I'm superior to Satan and his demons, with the authority to execute judgment against them. I dominate and triumph over circumstances today and always, because the greater One lives in me! Glory to God!

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Plz I need Bible scholars to come in and enlighten us on this confusing passage.

'' For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain'' Philippines 1:21

He's saying that being alive, he's Christ's messenger; even if dead, he's Christ's trophy/bounty.

Life versus even more life! He can't lose. In other words... He's (Paul) still at advantage, either way.

Use paragraphs please.

on a serious note,you guys should mark him well o.teach him honesty and admitting his wrong deeds.i smell a future lawyer

Yeah, exactly... He was showed the video and corrected appropriately.

Told him he needn't put up a defence for his wrong... Trying to show us why it's not his fault, or why it's not a fault.

Thanks

bigtt76:
I saw the comedy in it Dear and most important of all I also saw a cute little boy who may become recluse in the future if subjected to such ridicule before the public.

Don't worry, he won't be ridiculed... He's got a habit of finding answers to deviate from his wrongs... That's the comedy, why I recorded it.

If you recorded the video to play back to him as a means to correct his lying or bed wetting, then fine.

I did... We all laughed after it... I should have recorded that too.. He said "did I say that?... Oh my God"... Then laughs loud covering his eyes.

Posting same online for millions of viewers on YouTube is unacceptable most especially with him crying which also goes on to show that he might be a subject of physical abuse hence the fear in him.

Na wa o. He does that anytime he's called out on something he did or didn't do. That's the comedy o... No one beats him... Not even me.

You're taking this too far sha. Calm it.

Bed wetting should be treated with care and not high handedness

He does not bed wet... This one was just way off, after a whole day swimming, he got tired and simply slept off, not even knowing where... Then, just say make him no fall his aunts hand... Hence the drama.

How would you feel having a video recording of your boss scolding or ridiculing you posted online for millions to view and applaud? Would you feel same again walking down your street knowing the girl next door has seen the clip?

See me see goodness and mercy o...

Your choice though, post more negative videos of your kid brother on YouTube for the world to watch and 'Like' and watch his behavior in the years to come! All the best.

Thanks for the 'advice'... Have a great day

lilmax:
Think before action, posting this is stupidity

Thanks by the way

bigtt76:
In as much as it sounded funny, exposing him to millions through Nairaland is not the best thing. Bed wetting is not a crime and nd should not be so portrayed. Rather you should find a way of easing him out of that. Please take down the video and nd desist from such in the future. God bless you as you heed to this.

Why can't you see the comedy in it? ... I never castigated him for bedwetting, stop playing righteous. ... Ummm, The video stays up.

Not sure you watched it though

God bless you too.

Did you read the Jesus spoke in Parables
Matt13:34:- all these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables:and without a parable spake he not unto them.
Vs35

then read Psalm78:2.
Jesus speaks in parables most of the time.

either its a parable or not.
there was a message in it.

Was He talking to the Jews about Jews or about Gentiles? If Jews, were they obligated to give?...

A Yes or no will be just fine.

The Love Law - Sunday, August 23rd .

Pastor Chris

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed (James 1:25).

Many have interpreted what Apostle James said in the above verse from a religious perspective, thinking that the perfect law of liberty means "a law that makes men free." No law was given to make us free. We were born free!

When you were born again, you weren't set free. "But didn't Jesus say, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free?" ' you might want to ask.
Now, it's important to understand the teachings of Jesus to the Jews and His teachings to the Church; He said that to the Jews. That verse doesn't say, "the truth shall SET you free," but that "the truth shall MAKE you free." What this means is that you'll experience what has already happened; the freedom that has already taken place. When you know and apply the truth of God's Word in any area, you experience the resultant blessing and liberation from that particular bondage or ignorance, as it were. Yet, this teaching was to the Jews.

James wasn't talking about a law that makes the Christian free, because once you're born again you're born free in Christ. You weren't set free from Satan or from anything that hurts or binds; you were given a new life that never existed before. You became a new creation, superior to Satan. The Living Bible puts it rightly; it says, "But if anyone keeps looking steadily into God's law for free men..." (James 1:25). That's the meaning of the law of liberty. God's perfect law of liberty is the love law.

1 Timothy 1:9 says, "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." Does this mean we're without law? Yes, but we're not without "law" to God.

Jesus said in John 13:34, " new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." That's our law, which in reality isn't a law, but our way of life. It's natural for us to walk in love as Christians, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost (Romans 5:5).

Prayer...
Blessed Father, thank you for your love that's been shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit. Your love is expressed and revealed through me to the world today, in my words and in my actions, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Further Study:
1 Corinthians 13:8 CEV
Love never fails! Everyone who prophesies will stop, and unknown languages will no longer be spoken. All that we know will be forgotten.

1 John 5:2-3 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto
them, saying, The ground of a certain richman brought forth plentifully:
Luke 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou
fool, this night thy soul shall be required
of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Luke 12:21 So is he that layeth up
treasure for himself, and is not rich
toward God.

Let me just pretend I didn't notice the bold... Besides that, all Jews were obligated to give... Why are you so sure this one didn't?

Also

Luke 16:19 There was a certain rich man,
which was clothed in purple and fine
linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Luke 16:20 And there was a certain
beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

Luke 16:21 And desiring to be fed with
the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

He wasn't giver.

Hilarious.

Also


Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him
loved him, and said unto him, One thing
thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever
thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou
shalt have treasure in heaven: and come,
take up the cross, and follow me.


Mark 10:22 And he was sad at that saying,
and went away grieved: for he had great
possessions.

He sure wasn't a giver

Was he a Jew?

.these men were not givers and yet they were rich.i posted it in the OP

Luke 19:1-2 Zaccheus was a rich man well before he met Christ what was he giving?

Luke 19:8
And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

I really have tried avoiding you... Zac was a giver, smarty.

Step outside scriptures and tell me whether ONLY givers are rich. You probably work for a pagan boss

I've really tried to avoid you.. But, let me just drop this...

Bill Gates, for example, is an atheist, he's done so much philanthropy around the world,.. That's God's permissible will.. . God's principles of giving and receiving is for all.. Bill, however cannot cast out devils or heal the sick... Etc... Now, can you please stop quoting me?

Scholar8200:
He that will receive Life must surrender his life that his life may be hid/swallowed up with Christ(Who is The Life 1John1:2)in God!

For whoever is bent on saving his [temporal] life [his comfort and security here] shall lose it [eternal life]; and whoever loses his life [his comfort and security here] for My sake shall find it [life everlasting].
Matthew 16:25 AMP

We give our lives to Christ when we surrender to His Lordship and Control. This is a very necessary part if we are to be truly saved. Remember Paul when he encountered Christ,"Lord What wilt thou have me to do":that's the language of surrender.

9 And, [His completed experience] making Him perfectly [equipped], He became the Author and Source of eternal salvation to all those who give heed and obey Him,
Hebrews 5:9

Also in Romans 10:9 talks of confessing with the mouth the LORD Jesus, suggesting that the faith in God's raising Him from the dead must be backed by a surrendering to, and confessing Him as your Lord.

it was used for service/commitment or better still CONSECRATION.

Is this consecration? Who was talking here?

Stop saying "giving my heart to God" is wrong.

sportsmaster:
I enough space nau.I put enough paragraphs.

I didn't mean punctuations

firstly Know that,Giving in any form be it tithes,offerring,first fruits,seeds is not and never a pre-requisite to God's blessings.

Well, I never said giving is the only requisite for God's blessings... But however, giving is the only principle for receiving form God in the bible. Hence, give and it shall be given unto you

Can you point any successful man in the Bible that never gave?

Matt5:45 God makes his sun to rise on the evil and good,He sends his rain on the just and unjust.

God blesses the believer and the unbeliever materially.

No doubt... That's GOD'S PERMISSIBLE will... Ever heard of God's perfect will? It's for the believers ONLY.

So your giving is not a ticket to God's blessing. i explained it clearly in the Post about Giving,You did not read through it well.

Your post was, as usual, misconstrued. Don't blame me if I didn't get it.... And yes, giving is one of the ways of God's blessings, ask king David.

Your theology amazes me,How do you mis-read scriptures like this.i explained it in the post.Go and reread

Your stiff neckedness amazes me.

What happens at the point of Salvation?
1)Did you give your life to Christ or
2)You received the Life of Christ?

I accepted the sacrifice of Jesus, and declared Him Lord of my life, and believed the God raised Him from the dead... I exchanged my life for His... Because He's already taken my place... I just made it official, by signing the dotted lines.

Why don't you start a thread about this? I'm not saying, receiving Jesus into my life is a wrong construct, I'm saying you saying "giving my life to Jesus" is wrong, is a farce.

When would you learn to organise your threads?

I can't make a head or tail about your writings, perhaps a summary?

Thanks

.. On second thought, when Jesus said "Give and IT SHALL be given unto you".. Notice the Capitalised term (that's a sovereign declaration by the almighty, not a promise) ... Are you suggesting He being metaphorical or using a hyperbole?

The fact Paul lacked in course of his duties does not mean he was poor. Same way folks claim Jesus was poor. See this link for further information

https://www.nairaland.com/1957135/midas-touch-balanced-approach-biblical#27289013

Givers never lack, and because I have no cash in my pocket does not mean I'm broke or poor. My bible says, if the cloud be full of rain..... Go search out that scripture.

.. Secondly, the term giving one's heart to Christ is not wrong a statement as you'd have us believe. Paul write,... Oh, what a wonderful verse this is

Gal 2:20 KJV
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

What he's saying there is that His life is no longer his, in other words, he's given it away to Christ. Why? Because it's a choice. If I give you my car, do I still tell you what to do with it? If I give my life to Christ, it's no longer mine, meaning I live for Him... I no longer live for myself.

No wonder the bible says that they which receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness... Shall reign in this life by Christ Jesus (Romans 5:17)...

The above bold is a choice, because some have heard of this grace and rejected it, some will... They refused to accept the sacrifice of Jesus... They refused to give their hearts/life to the master... Hence they have no righteousness, because there's no salvation to start with.

When you believe that Jesus is Lord of your life, and confess it with your mouth, and believe that God raised Him from the dead... What you did was surrender your life to His rulership, you gave yourself away, so that He can use you. YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM, hence, it's no longer yours. Gal 2:20

No need creating a mountain out of an ant hill.

He’s Excited About You - Saturday, 22th August, 2015
Pastor Chris

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love,he will joy over thee with singing (Zephaniah 3:17).

Did you know that God is excited about you? You need to take some time today to meditate on that. Some people only think of God’s wrath. They believe He’s always mad at them. They’ve been raised to think that God is only concerned about sin, and because there’s so much sin in the world, He’s mad at everybody; no! He’s not that way. God isn’t concerned about sin as many think. He was concerned about sin, and His concern about it made Him send Jesus.

When Jesus died on the cross, the problem of sin was dealt with forever. Therefore, for the believer in Christ, sin is no longer a problem. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ brought an end to sin and ushered you into the life of righteousness: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). So you see, God is not mad at you; He settled the sin-problem in, and through, Jesus Christ and said,“…sin shall not have dominion over you…” (Romans 6:14).

What you need to do is to trust His righteousness; trust what Jesus came to do! You’re the fruit, the result of Christ’s redemptive work. Accept and receive His righteousness into your spirit, and live continually in His glory and grace, knowing that He’s not mad at you, but excited about you. 2 Corinthians 5:19 says,“To wit,that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.” This lets you know the mind of God. He’s not even mad at the sinner, let alone you that are born again!

Therefore, get excited about God, because He’s excited about you.

Confession...
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; sin has no power over me. My heavenly Father rejoices over me with singing, and I bring him joy and gladness today,pleasing him in all things! I'm his crown and Pearl of great value. I'm his outstretched arm of love,joy and righteousness to the world! glory to God!

Psalm 89:15-17
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord , in the light of thy countenance. [16] In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. [17] For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man , neither will he help the evil doers: [21] Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
