What's the correlation between tithes and a miracle huh
Good question bro!

Now see the answer given below... undecided


trustman:
This: The recording of an event in scripture does not NECESSARILY make it a command to be followed or even a thing to be emulated by believers.
Where there are clear directives on an issue, it is better to go with such instructions rather than make a 'command' or 'doctrine' out of a recorded event.

And what is the moral behind the long sermon?
the moral is simple.. those who live in glass houses don't throw stones.


you are an emotional, proud and egoistic man. All I see here is 'I, I, I', You just can't stand being challenged or chastised, yet you see yourself as the pinnacle of spirituality and an embodiment of God's knowledge. If the Word of God does not subdue the spirit of 'me, myself and I' in you there is problem.
He was narrating an ordeal, should he have written you, them, we etc? You call someone emotonal, proud and egoistic? Dear Lord grin

Winsomex can't be entirely right and he can't be entirely wrong either, and the same applies to you so stop painting a picture of a perfect Man here.
yeah, very true.

Just that he is rarely right, and almost always wrong. There are some things you can't just get wrong with in the bible, it's different if you didn't know, but making a stamping statement just to back your claims is disastrous. For example, remember when you said Jesus can be traced to Adam? Meeeeeeeh, you guys should thank God for Nairaland Tsunami ad the advent of newer monickers.

It's this way because you lot claim to be true gospel preachers... with all these teaching I (yes i said i) and mba, Bidam, Image, etc has stopped so far were very pertinent, if not, many other innocent folks would be doomed.

Stalking you? Why?

Unlike those obsessed by the viewing of 'likes', trying to search out IP addresses and so on we are relaxed over these issues.
Just enjoying myself.

Note this: There is more to come.

Why do these fools obsess and hallucinate over imagined obsession with likes? They are the ones hopelessly infatuated with 'likes'. They can't stomach an opposing post being liked, nor can they understand why nobody 'likes' Oyaks vomit. They get fits and heartburns.
I can bet they arrest and bind the spirit of 'likes' every time they pray grin grin

mbaemeka:
Brothers, you need to understand the crux of the whole issue that is, if you are unaware. They created a thread to exchange prevarications and conjectures with themselves and nobody gave a hoot. Ihedi (purposely truncating his moniker so he doesn't see the unnecessary mention) tried to give opposing views but they didn't even let him have a say so he took the gentlemanly route and bowed out. In between I would see brother Image's moniker on the end of a page and I'd peep in and see he was trying to redirect their focus but they didn't entertain his "dissentious" views. One time he was pushed to the extent that he rubbished all their ideas on tithes so much so that they asked him to remove his post from their thread which he eventually did. The guy who suffered the most 'wounjuries' is here to testify. He is the same one that makes spurious claims and refuses to retract them even when cornered.
Gbam, I can affirm this. That thread.. hmmm, Lord knew I avoided it like a plague. Folks were just typing away what they feel is the truth

I only decided to make a post on that thread as I was led to and this was when I saw Nanny's post's. Initially they were not receptive of her as they felt she was there to disrupt their flow because she posed tough questions that they could not answer. I remember mentioning Nl and Brother Gombs to come and view the fiasco but you both disobliged grin grin . In retrospect, I am happy I posted when I did as until a few weeks back I didn't even know she worshiped where she worships.
I was watching all these, from a far distance.

The Bipolar disordered cum failed blogger cum multiple moniker owner kept making the same idiotic post's trying to give WOF a bad name and then hang them for it. He could say things like "WOF worship angels", "Paul warned us about worshiping angels. He said it is demonic" therefore "WOF is demonic, bro confused and bro dishonest will add more to this, I rest my case on F35" and then the troop will rush in to click likes. That thread would give BasketMouth comic ammunition for 2 centuries and a half.

grin grin grin

the underlined was the main focus of that thread. They formed all forms of treacherous lies and labelled WoF for it. You should have seen the old WoF thread, they had topics like WoF Building, WoF Piano, WoF chairs etc, WoF and angels etc. It was soooooooo nauseating.

With the last drop of commonsense that the failed blogger had, he avoided engaging me and I was happy because he didn't discuss with any ounce of spiritual or natural intellectualism of any sort. One time he developed enough clout and made one of those balderdash-laden posts at me, explaining how Jesus was a pauper who had nowhere to lay his head. Of course, I had him for breakfast and it is because of the whooping he suffered that he redirected his anger to brother Hagin when he saw from the 1st chapter of this book how he explained that Jesus was not a homeless Pauper as they had claimed. Interestingly, Brother Hagin's explanations where from a different perspective from mine but we still arrived at the same conclusions if not they would have called me a Plagiarizer- the last resort, when all else fails.
Exactly! I almost wanted to ask him about his theory of Jesus being poor, but seeing that it was futile as he would rather burn down NL than admit wrong, he went for the jugular, called Hagin a failed man, and questioned the intent of the book. You sure had him for breakfast, I can relive the moment with a grin, and wonder why that blogger would change for the better.

and the plagiarism stunt, that is their last resort when surely all else fails. Remember when they tried to hang Hagin, calling him a plagiarizer of E. W. Kenyon in the old WoF thread? even when glaring evidences shows Hagin made references to Kenyon.


The few of them (and really I am referring to 1 person) who had some degree of Integrity Quotient didn't bother raising old dust from the previous thread as they silently learnt lessons and made amends but the chief Ignoramus tried to cast Hagin in bad light by even attempting to question his motives for writing the book.
I know the bold above, he's a fine gentleman I tell you.

We saw how commonsense again made a fool of him on this thread. On one other thread he said Jesus used the word power twice and never referred to miracles while at it and I and Gombs didn't let him off so easily. He even had to claim it was a typographical error but I can assure you that he didn't misuse any tense or misspell any word. It was what it was- a ginormous goof !(pardon the portmanteau)
Meeehn, that was a so glaring a blunder but the fellow said it was a typo

see where I caught him

and after mba mopped him neatly, look what he said here


He never admitted he was TOTALLY wrong, he simply said "it was an error" instead of "I was in error, I am sorry for misleading a few, thanks for correcting me" ..he then quickly changed topic undecided

I warned him to steer clear off my posts which his old handle did but because he is suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder he created a new moniker to initiate threads on CEC's president.
https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/02/mj-laughing.gif

Of course, the name changed but not the bitterness, envy and ignorance. He quoted a post of mine and responded with the same lies but I spotted him out in a heartbeat without even taking note of his IP address or the etisalat line he probably uses to post. When he was asked to disprove that he managed 2 accounts he "pleaded the 5th" but everyone could tell he was still the same vo.yeur and I am right in calling him so, if not he should explain to us how he saw Rev. Chris "caught pants down" borrowing his own words.
https://31.media.tumblr.com/b936f09d99b5680b0313f83b233eb530/tumblr_nciw1uTerm1seznd4o2_500.gif

That his etisalat line's IP address and his meddling in their WoF thread, plus the board member he followed gave up his cover. He must be thinking we are nit wits here.

He can't explain nothing about Rev Chris, rumours however are his favourite.

Most of them don't communicate to exchange truth. It is all about "likes"garnered and the overbloated self-importance. One particular day while scouting through the Religion section as a guest, I came about a thread where the new moniker made a post and there was the old one on the side "viewing" it. Seconds later, I let my curiosity get the best of me when I refreshed the page and there it was- Old had liked New's post, as Old was at that point the only viewer and New had gained 1 more like.
https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/omsj.gif

Mba, that was how I knew vooks and shedemidemi are same. I noticed if vooks made a post, in split seconds shedemidemi is online and vooks has 1 like, take few pages back, you'd see that even posts about nothing has a like. This was aside the other evidences I have, there was one time vooks made reference to a thread that fat outlived his monickers lifetime on NL, question was how did he know about the discussion? Was he viewing as a guest? certainly not, he spoke as shedemidemi did in that thread. Coincidence? Nah...... but it's ok for them to keep deceiving themselves. wink wink

Imagine if such a person became a top office holder: He would rig-in his village headmaster to become the President of the Harvard Alumni.
it's better imagined bro, and they are here to teach us honesty? undecided undecided

Now imagine him and his delusions. On this thread he expressed his surprise that I responded to his posts which he directed at me, yet he is now telling me not to discuss with him again on this forum as if I enjoy dumbing myself down with his pseudo-intellectualism.

2 men exchanged words and when they were done the first one said "Let's not speak to ourselves again, no hard feelings". The other quizzed "no hard feelings?", and then he concluded insouciantly "no feelings at all". I am the second man.

"Now Are We The Sons Of God!" · Saturday, November 8th

Pastor Chris

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is (1 John 3:2).

How inspiring this is! The Word says, "Now are we the sons of God." This is the reality. This scripture is already fulfilled in you if you’re born again; it’s not something that’s going to happen after the rapture of the Church or when we get to heaven; no! NOW are we the sons of God; it’s a "present truth" for you to walk in.

Let’s review the entire verse: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." The underlined portion lets us know that though outwardly, we may not look that way, we know inside us that we have the same life and nature with Him; we have the same Spirit with Him. Glory to God! What does this tell you?

It shows that as a child of God, as an associate of the God-kind, there’s really nothing more you need God to do in you or for you, because you have Christ in you. He already made you complete in Christ (Colossians 2:10); that means you’ve been perfected; nothing needs to be "added" to you, and nothing needs to be taken out. You’re complete in Him; you were born that way when you were born again.

It’s like in natural birth: when a woman gives birth to a child, that child is hundred percent human; that is, he’s perfectly and completely human! The child doesn’t grow in humanity, for he’s born that way. In the same vein, when we were born again, we became sons and daughters of God; we were complete and perfected in righteousness and holiness. You’re as righteous and as holy as He is, because you share His divinity. He’s your life, your call and your heritage. As He is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). You’re the effulgence of His glory, and the express image of His person. Therefore, walk in righteousness and holiness according to your true nature in Christ.

Prayer...
Thank you Father, for the privilege of being your very own. I live in this reality today, manifesting your Word in every area of my life. I’m complete in Christ; there’s nothing lacking in my life, because Christ is my completeness, and as He is, so am I in this world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: 
Galatians 3:26 CEV;
All of you are God’s children because of your faith in Christ Jesus. 

Psalm 2:7 CEV
I will tell the promise that the Lord made to me:“You are my son, because today I have become your father.

WinsomeX:
This is my quote from page 1, of my thread on mysticism in full:



Questions directed at a mystic on that thread.

And your interpretation



How four simple questions became an authoritative statement complete with a QED is the eight wonder of the world. I remind you what you said I said:



Pls readers should compare the above authoritative statements by mbaemeka, which he said I said, with the four questions I asked. Could an authoritative statement be questions in any part of the world?

Incidentally that thread has an authoritative statement on tongues by me and I will quote it here and leave the readers to conclude who is lying.

This is what I said:



What in that statement is "the gift of tongues is a mystic practice"? The very first statement said: "My study of scripture reveal that tongues is a valid gift of the Spirit".

Now who is it that has comprehension troubles?



Thank God I also know this Holy Spirit you are purporting messages from. In prayers this morning I came to this conclusion in my communion with God.

1. That there are two great facts today: truth and lies.

2. Two Spirits: The Holy Spirit and other spirits.

3. Two gospels: the Gospel and Another Gospel.

4. Two ways: the narrow way and the broad way.

5. Two eternal destinations: heaven and hell.

6. Two "gods": The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and other gods.

7. Two sons: sons of righteousness and sons of perdition.

8. Two Christians: true and false.

ETC.

You, mbaemeka, occupy the latter in all these statements. You are not a Christian, you are a liar. You are not hearing the Holy Spirit, you are hearing demons. Your eternal destination is not heaven but hell. You are a son of perdition. Those who listen to you do so at great peril to their souls.

I have nothing else to say to you on this forum until you repent; and that is if you have capacity to.

He Cares! - Friday, November 7th .

Pastor Chris

Casting all your care up on him; for he careth for you (1 Peter 5:7).

Our opening scripture is remarkable. The Lord Himself is inviting us to cast all our cares on Him. He says,“Give me all your cares!” You don't have to worry over anything in life. Roll all your cares over to Him. You and God can't be “caring” about the same things, at the same time. If you’re going to be fretful and anxious, He can't intervene, because your worries will stop His power from flowing your way.

Refuse to care! Confess the Word and say, “I refuse to be anxious over anything. However, in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, I make my request known unto God; therefore, His peace that surpasses all understanding garrisons my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.”

Perhaps you're a parent, you have your son or your daughter away somewhere, and you think he or she might be in danger. Instead of crying out in fear, “Oh God, I don't know what's happening…”; say, “Father, I thank you because I know that you care! You’re in charge; therefore, my child is protected.”

Confess that God cares! Be conscious that He cares. Jesus Christ was so conscious of the Father; He spoke of Him all the time. I have that consciousness! He says, “I will not leave you fatherless” (John 14:18), and He sent the Holy Spirit to take care of us, because He cares. We’re not fatherless. There's someone who cares for you; He's your heavenly Father. He cares about every detail of your life; He cares about everything that pertains to you. He perfects all that concerns you, and you're important to Him; He knows your name.

No matter the situation, get into your closet, shut the world out, shut the pain out, shut the tribulation out and lift your hands and say, “I have a Father, the Almighty; He’s King of kings and Lord of Lords, and He cares for me.” You’re not alone;greater is He that’s in you than all the troubles in the world.

Confession...
I cast all my cares on you, blessed Lord, because I know you love me and care for me affectionately. I refuse to be discouraged, irrespective of the challenges that come my way, because I trust in the efficacy of your Word. Greater is He that’s in me, than he that's in the world. Halleluiah!

Further Study:
Romans 8:35-39
35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ;

Zephaniah 3:17
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. ;

Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

His Co-labourer · Thursday, November 6th

Pastor Chris

Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest (Luke 10:2).

The Lord Jesus, in His earth walk, went about the cities and villages teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and healing the sick and diseased among the people.

The Bible says He saw the multitude and was moved with compassion for them because they were weary and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd (Matthew 9:36). That’s the reason He asked the disciples to pray to the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers to reap the bountiful harvest of souls around the world. You’re that man; you’re that woman; you’re a co-labourer with the Lord.

In 1 Corinthians 3:9, Paul said, "For we are labourers together with God..."; that means every Christian is a co-labourer with God in building lives, and saving souls. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God sent His Son Jesus to save the world, and you’re a partner with Him in the project.

He already granted you the grace for an effective soul-winning life, and in 2 Corinthians 6:1, He implores you not to receive that grace in vain: "We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain." Acts 1:8 says, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

The Holy Spirit, who is the Lord of the harvest, lives in you today. Take advantage of His grace and power in you to be an effective witness of the resurrected Christ! Recognize and take your place as a co-labourer with the Lord. Fulfil your calling every day, as a soulwinner and a soul-builder.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for your grace and power at work in me to be effective in soul-winning. As a minister of reconciliation and steward of the mysteries of Christ, I faithfully take the light of your glorious Gospel to my world, and to the regions beyond, transforming and building lives by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

[KJV] John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
[KJV] John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

2 Corinthians 5:18-19
[KJV] 2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
[KJV] 2 Corinthians 5:19 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.

OLAADEGBU:
What does the Bible say?

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them" (Genesis 1:26-27).

According to the Bible, man is distinct from all the rest of creation, including the animals, in that he is made in the image of God. As God is a tripartite -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit -- so man is three parts -- body, soul and spirit. In the most explicit example from Scripture of these divisions, Paul writes:

"And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
You didn't answer me, is man flesh? That has spirit, soul and body?

OLAADEGBU:
Another error from the pit of hell. Man is not a spirit but he has a spirit, has a soul and has a body. The human nature is comprised of a spirit, a soul, and a body. Offer your body as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), thank God for saving your soul (1 Peter 1:9), and worship God in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24).

And as for the rest of my objections, you better not argue or else... shocked
So then, man is flesh?

Mr Gombs! Since when as it become a crime to watch from behind the curtain? I chose to keep mute bro, I had nothing to add to this book. I believe the writer of the book is in error, how well can a blind man lead another blind.
Very believable!

The mark of true spirituality is when somebody corrects you and they are right and you readily debunk and repent from what you did know and embrace what is the truth. It's quite unfortunate that most religious nairalanders find it difficult to do this.
SMH

We have so many confused cults, denominations and sects within the christian community because we refuse to dissect, divide the word of God appropriately. We have so much trust in the interpretation of our god like pastors and teachers so much that that we refuse to discern a false teacher from a true teacher of God's word.
You should borrow a leaf from WinsomeX

These supposed men draw us to parts of scriptures that promises so much earthly utopia. I wonder if they themselves live in the perfect world they try to sell to us! For this reason, we abandon the words of the very minister appointed by God to us gentiles, while some simply conflate the words of this apostle with a separate programme message.
grin grin

Romans 11
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

Do we force health, wealth and prosperity gospel on the present dispensation of grace? of course we do. A topic our Apostle(one sent forth) never taught.

Philippians 4

5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Eternally misquoting scriptures.

The Apostle says to the body of Christ that we should make our request to God, but he never said we shall receive because we have asked. God might say yes to it, He might delay it and He might say no to it. It's God's will and not the will of man.
Lame excuses for weak faith.

Many christians ignore this part that was primarily written to the church for the earthly/kingdom programme that says -

mat 21:22
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
SMH

How many people have prayed this prayer and it doesn't happen! In fact, God answers more of the things we never asked Him than the ones we ask to show us how sovereign He is. This sort of teaching frustrate so many who are yet to be completely deluded by their prosperity teachers and life coaches.
Ha! grin

Baptism
Some mix water baptism with the spiritual baptism,

Forgiveness
some mix God's conditional forgiveness(Mat 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.) with the unconditional forgiveness taught by the Apostle under Grace.
col 2:13
13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Prayer
The apostle says- Rom 8:26- Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit(Holy Spirit) itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Yet, some make claims that they have been called in to a ministry of prayer.


We will continue having these baseless arguments if we keep mixing the earthly people and heavenly people.
