Candour: Now she's questioning your beliefs and she has suddenly become a suspicious person that you had to go-a-digging?like seriously? If i digged her posts for her being 'suspicious' and questioning my beliefs, may God's curse be on me. I saw this post when i was going throught the thread when BBG made the snake blunder, and i saw the post, i was like... this is not what she said o. then i asked her, i did not get an answer, i asked again...now, i went diggin because she questioned my beliefs? Haba my friend! So, i should go dig about anybody who question my beliefs?Can you honestly affirm that you've not made a wrong or incorrect assertion on NL since you joined?i can't remember, if i did, it must be a mix up! ![]() Its funny shavery Well, a honest heart fears nothing. If indeed it was a mistake, surely nothing spoil irrespective of your assessment or mine.it's alright buddy! Wish you a great evening brosame to you |
nannymcphee:Apology accepted ![]() I was supposed to write 18yrs & not 8. Was born in the Catholic Church & left when I was eighteen.Yeah, very believable... if you like double check my words, it doesn't change who I'm & what I know(you can even double check this again)https://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/standing-ovation.gif i did not double check.. was reading the Wof thread and saw your 'mix up' Do the maths, you will know my age, so I'm not some kidthat's your problem Where were we again, hezekiah care to explainYeah, Hezekiah got an instant reply... you doubted, why? |
Candour:https://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/f-yeah.gif Though I wonder how it invalidates all you said about CEC which are very verifiable or how it impacts the discussion going on here. I'm waiting for Gombs to link themOh! i will. Honesty precedes our words, if i can't trust you, how can i trust what you say or try to teach me? ![]() now, honesty is being questioned. Integrity gone... i can't see how i can believe that was a mere 'mix up'. It 's like me saying i joined CEC 5years ago, then go to another thread and say i left Anglican church 2 years back! Now that honesty is questioned, motive comes into scrutiny. what if; 1. she was a member of CEC and now left for another, and hence to hang a dog, you know what to do to it na! 2.she is a member just few months back? How am i to know for certain, now that honesty has been ruled off? 3. she has been economical with the truth all the while? She said her IPPC IV has been consistent since 2007, a detail she could not mix up all the years, but suddenly mixed up the RCC one? if she is a member, fine, if not, finer. Point is, she cannot sell me the "it must be a mix up' line. Happy weekend bro! ![]() |
nannymcphee:my pleasure feed your eyes There must be a mixup somewherehttps://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/dr-evil-right.gif very convenient 'mix up'. When you were typing on that thread, you must have been fatigued? your 'mix up' now has left your memory? a sudden amnesia i must say. Well, it's alright ![]() where it not for the fact that I don't have my baptismal cert & foundation school cert here, I would have uploaded itno need for that ma'am. a little advice: Writing is the most expensive form of communication, and the least forgiving. Always remember that. eitherway, I don't need to prove how long I have been there or whether I'm truly a member.you just lost integrity ma'am. I cannot completely trust your details anymore. If you say good morning to me now, i mst check my watch to be sure it is morning. Pls show me where I stated thati already did that ![]() Now mademoiselle, we can move on! where were we? Aha! Hezekiah and faith things, right? |
trustman:https://www.reactiongifs.com/r/shut-up1.gif |
nannymcphee:I find it a bit disturbing, that your posts are contradictory. I'm beginning to doubt your honesty. You once said you were a Roman Catholic and you left 8 years ago ( holla if you need proof), Now after 4years in mathematics dept Unijos, I find that math you're trying to pull here disturbing. Being in CE for 11 years readily shows you joined 2003, right? Leaving RCC 8 years ago means you left 2006, no? If you left the RCC in 2006, how then did being in CEC equate 11years? I am thinking Someone lied or is lying. Mind explaining? ![]() |
nannymcphee:Before we continue, I asked a question before, maybe you answered and I missed it, but I'd re-ask. How long did you say you've been in CE? 11? Right? |
nannymcphee:No, it was because he was a king. |
trustman:Your opinion is noted. |
nannymcphee:No, it was guess work. what happened to Hannah, hasn't she been praying all those years? So the recorded act of her making a vow to God, that brought Samuel was the one that she had great faith abi?You should visit that Hannah's story again. When David prayed & fasted, yet his child died. Didn't he have strong faith to have a harvest?Go visit that story again. The child was illegitimate, and it was the line that'd bring the Messiah. The line had to be pure! After David married the lady, she had a son, find out the son's name, and what was God's testimony about the child. Paul thorn nko(whatever that torn might have been). Didn't Paul have great faith to cause a change?Visit that verse again. Paul knew less, but when God told him His grace was sufficient, guess what happened to Paul's mindset! ![]() |
vooks:Now, you've answered, what was the whole fuss about? ![]() Our answers are similar, I still find it unbelievable, but I know with proper mopping by Mba and Bidam, you tend to get a rub off of the Word. Congratulations bro! More grace. |
Well, seems like I haven't answered or attempted the fig tree question, though mba and bidam's take of it were sufficient. I asked brought the tree p to ask why did Jesus went to look for a fruit on a tree when it was not it's fruiting period, and cursed it. It was to show that harvest is set by God, not man! Natural courses may be viable, but the supernatural ALWAYS ovwrwrite natural laws. From the account of the fig tree, i love the account of Mark, why? Because it spoke of the God kind of Faith, a fact that Drummaboy aka winsomex, shedemidemi, etc violenttly and pitifully wrote agaisnt in the old Wof thread, they said it was a term coined by Wof teachers. Thank God the bible was not trasnlated by those folks. But in verse 23 in the book of Mark, chapter 11, there are two things to notice about the God kind of faith. First, a man believes with his heart. Second, he believes with his words. (Believe and speak, another term DB and his band discredited in the old wof thread washed away by the tsunami) It isn’t enough just to believe in your heart. In order to get God to work for you, you must believe with your words also. Jesus said, “Whosoever shall say … and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:23). This is the unalterable law of faith. Mark 11:12-14, 20-24 So Jesus went up to a fig tree to satisfy His hunger, but found no fruit on it and said: "Nobody go ever chop fruit from you again". How are we to understand this? Can it really be that Jesus cursed the fig tree just because He was hungry and there were no fruit on the tree? Or maybe he was experimenting. Was he trying to show off? Was the tree at fault? Some have questioned why Jesus looked for fruits on this tree when it was not time for them to be ripe; it was not their season. However, we should note that in that country trees that retained their leaves usually had figs also. God spoke to all creation concerning Jesus, God declared, that Jesus was His only begotten Son, and the whole creation should hear Him. That was why them fishes had to look for His coin, that was why winds heard Him, but did the tree? No, that was not the case. The bible recorded that Jesus REPLIED AND SAID UNTO THE TREE. Question is, did the tree speak? Of course it did, not literally as my friends here would gladly assume. Jesus spoke, and the tree dried up. That's the God kind of faith. God kind of faith is the kind of faith in which a man believes with his heart and says with his mouth that which he believes in his heart, and it comes to pass. That was the faith that spoke the world into existence. Well, what then does this parable teach us?Jesus, the Son of God, knew that everything that God has created has a particular function and purpose. The fig tree was created that it might bear fruit and feed hungry people. Jesus walked to the tree at a time when it was not supposed to be bearing ripe fruits, but He found nothing on it except for leaves. The tree refused Jesus food! Jesus made a demand of fruit, not from the natural standpoint, but the supernatural! He made the request by faith, and the tree, like any created thing responds to sound. Yet, the tree did not produce for Him. Did the tree had the ability to produce instantaneously? A thousand times yes! How? Why? Because the creator made a demand! Ask the fishes who brought up a coin or those thatbran in Peter's net because Jesus asked Peter to cast his net on a specific side. So He cursed the fig tree not just because it was not fulfilling its purpose, but because it did not respond to God's Word. That was why Bidam said the tree was symbolic...anything and everything that refused to respond to our words as believers, in faith by Christ Jesus, risks terrible consequences. Yup! Demons are scared of ceasing to exist, or other terrible consequences too. Everything that God has created has a particular function and a specific purpose...Everything that God does is for a specific purpose.So if God does not do anything just for the sake of it (eg cursing a tree for the sake of it), then it surely follows that everything you see must exist for a particular purpose. Everything responds to sound (that's why words are very powerful, that's why we talk right and positively), for in the beginning we saw that EVERYTHING came from two things SOUND and DARKNESS. Sorry for the long write up. If anyone is not contented, they should create a thread and invite me in. |
Bidam you get time o, God bless your patience. |

[size=20pt]A Mystery To The Angels [/size] · What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor (Psalm 8:4-5 ASV). I’m ever so awed by the wisdom and greatness of our God. To think that He’d choose us—the new creation—to be His partners in executing His master-plan of salvation for the world beggars the imagination. The greatest of it all, which the angels themselves are amazed at, is that this great God of glory would call us into fellowship with Himself through the Holy Spirit, and give us the Holy Spirit to live in us. The angels haven’t got over that yet; they’re still seeking to understand its implication. The angels of God are glorious beings; they know who they are: they’re mighty, and excellent in glory, but they’re amazed at what God has done for and with us, because as glorious as they are, God doesn’t live in them. However, as "unworthy" as we were, He gave us a new life and made us His living tabernacles. This is a mystery to the angels; they don’t understand the reason for this yet. And guess what! God chose us to explain it to them. Every time we preach Jesus, and teach about the Holy Spirit, the angels listen. They love it! Because it’s something they only know about from the Scripture, but they don’t have the experience; they don’t know what it’s like; so they hear it from us. Read this beautiful verse: "To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God" (Ephesians 3:10). This is the Apostle Paul writing to the Church; we’re the ones from whom the principalities and powers in heavenly places get to know the mysteries of God, and His multifaceted wisdom. The Bible lets us know that the angels would have given anything to be in on this (1 Peter 1:12), but we’ve been chosen to explain the mysteries to them. Since this is part of our responsibilities as God’s children, it means we must know the Word, live in the Word, and live out the Word, as the expression of the living Word. https://www.nairaland.com/393253/rhapsody-realities-daily-devotional/31#27626181 Happy new month all! |
A Mystery To The Angels · Saturday, November 1st Pastor Chris What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him but little lower than God, And crownest him with glory and honor (Psalm 8:4-5 ASV). I’m ever so awed by the wisdom and greatness of our God. To think that He’d choose us—the new creation—to be His partners in executing His master-plan of salvation for the world beggars the imagination. The greatest of it all, which the angels themselves are amazed at, is that this great God of glory would call us into fellowship with Himself through the Holy Spirit, and give us the Holy Spirit to live in us.

Prayer Dear Lord, I thank you for the privilege of insight into the mysteries of your eternal Kingdom. I’ve become a dispenser of the unsearchable riches of Christ. Through me, your wisdom is manifested, your grace is showcased, and the love of Christ is demonstrated to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Further Study: Colossians 1:26-27; 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Psalm 25:14; The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. Romans 16:25-26 25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 1 year Bible reading plan: : Hebrews 1 Jeremiah 34-35 2 year Bible reading plan: : 1 Peter 1:1-12 Ezekiel 32 |
Yooguyz:I don't think he is, but I know he's a well seasoned teacher! He writes like he studied under Paul directly . The Bereans has got nothing on him. You should see Nlmediator in WORDIOLOGY or WORDIOGRAPHY. ![]() How have you been? Been a while bro! |

^^ so, after reading through, this was your summary? 1. "So the reason we go to church, etc, is to have people." 2. Preachers are simply reminders. Your opinions are duly noted ![]() |
[size=20pt]Who Will Be There for You in the Crises of Life? [/size] chapter 5, pages 107-109 Sooner or later, all of us experience some of the crises of life, and it's important to have somewhere to turn and to have caring people sustain us. For example, what would you do if you were depending on a TV program to be your pastor and you ended up in the hospital with a serious illness? Who would come to pray for you and encourage you to trust in God? What if one of your loved ones passed away? Could you call that TV preacher to come comfort you, help you make the final arrangements, and conduct the funeral? Would anyone prepare food and bring it to your house for those who were grieving with you? What if your son or daughter wanted to get married? Who would provide the premarital counseling, minister to the wedding party, and perform the marriage ceremony? Would you be able to depend on your radio pastor or TV church to meet your needs? Don't you count on it! There are times when you want and need the presence and touch of real, live, flesh-and-blood people you can trust. You need the support and help of people who know and love you— family members. Acts chapter 4 tells about an incident in the life of Peter and John that illustrates what I'm talking about. After speaking healing to a crippled beggar outside the temple in Jerusalem and preaching Jesus to the crowd that had gathered, Peter and John were arrested by the religious leaders and put in jail overnight. After being questioned and threatened, they finally were released. What do you do when you've tried to help others and take a stand for the Lord only to be persecuted for your efforts? Where do you go when you've been put in jail overnight and then dumped out on the street? What did Peter and John do? The Bible says, "And being let go, they went to their own company . . . " (Acts 4:23). They knew where to go when they got in trouble. They didn't go listen to tapes or read a book. They didn't listen to Brother Smith's radio broadcast or watch his TV program. They went to find the people who knew and loved them—fellow believers who shared their faith. I believe Peter and John's "company" of friends gave them a place to take a bath and clean up and provided them with some clean clothes. Then they fixed them something to eat and listened while Peter and John told what had happened to them. Afterwards, they all prayed together until the Holy Ghost fell and shook the house. Then they continued to speak the Word of God with boldness (see Acts 4:31). We all need our own company of believers, don't we? If we just stay home and listen to someone preach on radio or TV, we don't have any company! We need a place to go where we can find people of God. We need to meet together to support and help each other and to mobilize our resources to do God's work and carry out the Great Commission. That's why God tells us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together in the local church (Heb. 10:25). That's why it's more important to support your local church financially than to give anywhere else. Pay your tithes to your local church to help it carry out all its work and outreaches. Yes, there are other worthy ministries that are also deserving of your support. Don't leave them out; send offerings to assist their work as God blesses you and makes it possible for you to share. As you follow this pattern, I believe God will use you to help bless your church and pastoral staff and to prosper other good men and women of God who are accomplishing great things for the Lord. And I also believe that God will meet all your needs and abundantly bless you—spiritually, physically, and materially. Only then will you experience the true meaning of prosperity. |
Candour, i endorse your post. |
BabaGnoni:Eyaa! ![]() |
Bidam:[KJV] Ecclesiastes 11:6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good. Now, let them use seasons and timings to interpret this one,.This shows that it's our job to sow, no matter what, like Isaac, not minding circumstances, this is spiritual principles in faith. Same was what Paul taught, sowing and reaping. God bless you bro |
