LambanoPeace:
Olodo rabata, there is no such thing as the above bold in the Bible. Oya argue let me embarrass you with Scriptures. There is seed time, but nothing like harvest time. Where did you pull out seed time and harvest time law from?
That is what happens when folks who know few verses think they are sufficient, and enough to teach others, ignoring books and messages of those who are ahead of them in the faith. You should see their wof thread.... looks like a convention of folks with acute deficiency of Bible knowledge... Imagine o! Seed time and harvest time! Lord Jesus grin grin
Christianity EtcRe: The Midas Touch- A Balanced Approach To Biblical Prosperity - Kenneth Hagin by Gombs(op): 7:18am On Oct 31, 2014
BabaGnoni, I didn't bother quoting you, but a little tit bit from your write up for the intellectual handicapped:

1. Elohim in Psalms 82:6 did not only mean judge as you want us to believe, and that is where my problem with you emanates- acrid dishonesty! Let me school you!
The word Elohim (small 'e' of course) means
1. (plural)
rulers, judges
divine ones
angels
gods
2. (plural intensive - singular meaning)
god, goddess
godlike one
works or special possessions of God
the (true) God
God

From Psalms 82:6, one can readily see (except if they're biased) that David was writing to a target audience, a special breed of folks... That was why Jesus quoted it. Sadly, but I know twas intentional, you left out the other parts of John 10:34 ie v35. Now let's visit that

[KJV] John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

Let's read from the message translation, shall we?

38Jesus said, "I'm only quoting your inspired Scriptures, where God said, 'I tell you—you are gods.' If God called your ancestors 'gods'—and Scripture doesn't lie—why do you yell, 'Blasphemer! Blasphemer!' at the unique One the Father consecrated and sent into the world, just because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?


Question, was God calling them judges? BabaGnoni and his band of 10 spies would love us to believe an evil report. He said

The verse has nothing to do whatsoever with Christians at all, at allChristians have no business attaching with the verse as it is about judges, judges given authority to perform martial and judicial duties

So, God was speaking through David to Judges given authority to perform marital and judicial duties? Even when Jesus said God called them gods unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; ? Same word that came to them in the wilderness, came to us too, we received it, as they did, we became gods, because we like some of them in the wilderness mixed it with faith.

hebrews 4:2 MSG
We received the same promises as those people in the wilderness, but the promises didn't do them a bit of good because they didn't receive the promises with faith. If we believe, though, we'll experience that state of resting. But not if we don't have faith. Remember that God said,


If God was addressing judges, why did the preceeding verses say
[KJV] Psalms 82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

Was God referring to just judges or to his whole children? undecided

Jesus said, "why call me a blasphemer because I said I am the son of God? Shey God talk am with him mouth say we all be the children of the Most high in una law books"?

If Jesus asked such, why does it fail babagnoni and his band to comprehend it? In John 10, the word gods there is from the greek theos, small 't' it means

1. a god or goddess, a general name of deities or divinities
2. the Godhead, trinity
God the Father, the first person in the trinity
Christ, the second person of the trinity
Holy Spirit, the third person in the trinity
3. spoken of the only and true God
a. refers to the things of God
b. his counsels, interests, things due to him
4. whatever can in any respect be likened unto God, or resemble him in any way
a. God's representative or viceregen


BabaGnoni, I ask you to point the one Jesus meant in John 10:34. I know I'm likened to God, because as Jesus is, so am I in this world, and Jesus is God, hence I am a god, I am divinity! No wonder the devil wants to use some folks to water down who the Christian is.

BabaGnoni, was jesus referring to judges too, as you said The verse has nothing to do whatsoever with Christians at all, at allChristians have no business attaching with the verse as it is about judges, judges given authority to perform martial and judicial duties

A Happy, Good Life! · Friday, October 31st

Pastor Chris

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it (1 Peter 3:10-11).

It’s so inspiring to know that as a child of God, you can be at the top of your game and live a glorious life; a life that you can be happy about, every day. Some people aren’t happy with their lives and as a result, they blame others, the government, their environment, or their neighbours for their seeming misfortune; that’s not going to change anything.

To be the absolute success that God designed you to be takes living by the Word. The Word of God unveils the fundamental principles of success that you can act upon to achieve extraordinary greatness in life. For example, our opening scripture is very instructive on how to have a happy, good life. Let’s read it again, this time, in the Living Bible Translation: "If you want a happy, good life, keep control of your tongue, and guard your lips from telling lies. Turn away from evil and do good. Try to live in peace even if you must run after it to catch and hold it" (1 Peter 3:10-11).

Did you see that? It lets you know clearly that if you want to be happy about your life, and see good days, there’s a way to make it happen: eschew evil, and do good; go the extra mile to live in peace with all men. The Message translation says, "Whoever wants to embrace life and see the day fill up with good, Here’s what you do: Say nothing evil or hurtful; Snub evil and cultivate good; run after peace for all you’re worth" (1 Peter 3:10-11). Practise this. This is God giving you the recipe for a successful life: a life that’s filled up with good!

I love the Word of God because it’s our instruction manual for a glorious life; it’s the Light that guides us in righteousness, dominion, success and victory. Your life can be beautiful, extraordinary, exciting, fulfilling, exceptional, and excellent if you’d live by the Word.

Prayer...
Blessed Father, I thank you for giving me an extraordinary life in Christ; I’m fulfilled, joyful, and excited about my life, which you’ve adorned with your beauty, glory and righteousness. I’m established by your grace, in the path of greatness, because I live by your Word. Halleluiah!

Further Study: 
Hebrews 12:14; [KJV] Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

[quote author=trustman post=27597875]
Thanks Candour and BabaGnoni for keeping focus. 
Obviously the WoF "cartel" (I like BabaGnoni's new designation of them!) here on NL lack focus. And a book that is meant to have them face the truth rather than live in denial is not given the desired attention here. 
Apparently their intention was flawed from the beginning. Instead of concentrating on issues in the book, at least for other NL readers, they seem to be so myopic that all they see are the few here who are correcting them. They are more excited at throwing words at 'opponents' than truly dig out the message of the book.
Why can't you seem to wanna ever learn? Why? Now you're the saint trading blames? So the book does not concern you and your church? Your church is obviously perfect? When your band of misfits derailed the thread with videos and that failed Wof thread, shey it was all in 'keeping focus'? Your hypocrisy stinks!

[s]It is said that a dying man usually wants to give the most important message.[/s] That, I believe, is what  Hagin attempts to do here; the underlying message being the need for the WoF crowd to avoid excesses and deviations.
Stop being cynical. Well as long it's what you believe, fine. Your believing is duly noted too.

[s]Will their Chief Protagonists on NL pick his core message and do an introspection; Or will pride overcome them?[/s]

Candour:
Thoughts on Chapter 8


[size=20pt]1. Believers are not able to give anything to God that did not originate with God.[/size]

This point doesn't need much comments as Hagin made some valid comments on this point himself.

He said ''[size=14pt]This makes it clear that we are not to demand that God give us what we want[/size]. God in His graciousness has already provided everything for us.'' on page 173

He also said ''Having given God something does not entitle one to arrogantly demand that God do something in return. Rather, giving is to be done worshipfully, recognizing that whatever we give to God was originally created by Him and then given to us. Therefore, the proper attitude for giving is one of worship and gratitude.''

Our given should NOT be done to coerce, manipulate or force God into doing our bidding. God isn't a genie. He owns everything anyway and doesn't need our hands to give him.


[size=20pt]2. Some believers operate in a special grace of giving.[/size] Gombs put the following comment right after the point ''Gbam (We aint just showing off)''. I want to assume he was only trying to make it interesting.

True some folks will be more selfless than others (we even see non Christians blow the mind with their generosity to some worthy humanitarian course e.g the AIDS and Ebola epidemics) but of course, motive is important. Like the first point Hagin talked about, some have heard some fantastic 'testimony' of how one man sowed an only car and reaped a car manufacturing company or sowed all his money and reaped a bank (hypothetical cases) and they decide to follow suit. God doesn't work that way. God doesn't work by a formula (Hagin also talked about this on pg 117). If you're led to, go ahead and do but don't do it because you heard someone else did and reaped something fabulous. Lets always be guided by the scripture below

2 Cor 9:7
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Be very sure its your purpose and you were not manipulated or sweet talked into doing it, then give out of Love and out of Love alone.
Endorsed! +1like

*Standing Ovation

Christianity EtcRe: In What Way Has This Religious Section Benefited You? by Gombs(m): 9:16pm On Oct 30, 2014
PastorKun:
For me I derive fulfilment in being able to use this section to share to true gospel of Christ with thousands of people who regularly visit this section. This true gospel is based on love and his greatest and most important commandment is to Love one and other as he has Loved us. This is a point most professing christians miss whilst they give a lot of attention to the more mundane issues and even man made injunctions like tithing that bear no relevance to christianity.
It'd have been a miracle if you didn't mention tithe.

I have also enjoyed using this platform to decimate disseminate to good news to fellow believers that contrary to popular teachings in some churches, a christian is under no obligation to tithe but is encouraged to give freely as he purposes in his heart.

WinsomeX:
Very very easy to come to whatever conclusion you wish on any experience. But the Christian has a barometer; we have a plumb line we measure everything with; it is called the word of God. Anything outside it, experience or smelling, is not the will of God.
hehehehehheheheheh grin grin
Christianity EtcRe: The Midas Touch- A Balanced Approach To Biblical Prosperity - Kenneth Hagin by Gombs(op): 1:25pm On Oct 30, 2014
WinsomeX:
So because you had an experience that was similar to the one Hagin had; and because it was Hagin who had such an experience, it must be of God? Wonderful. This only proves one thing: you are Word of Faith in spirit and in truth. However, it calls your Christianity into doubt. Because where they were first called Christians in scriptures and Antioch, no one was ever found laughing in the Spirit.

Remember John's warning that many spirits have gone into the world. These are manifestations of their works.
Was Hagin the first to have experienced it? If you haven’t, does that make it not of God? You have not experienced 1/1, 000, 000, 000th of the Holy Spirit, and I can understand that, for eg You have never casted out demons, nor smell them, just because the Bible did not expressly say anything about them smelling, does that mean it is not true?

I do not have your time today or this week, but surely I will.

Bidam:
You never know this guy, he has opened a thread already about mysticism inviting me.
I know he would!

I clearly remember a group of us praying together in the university when the Holy Ghost fell on us, we were laughing and crying at the same time, it is a realm that you enter into by the sovereign will of the Father, it doesn't come often though, i cannot forget that experience, i saw a white cloud of glory envelop us, we were drunk with the wine of the Spirit.
They would never experience it, because of their ridiculing things they do not understand! Sad for them

Do you know we spent 3hrs in that state without even realising it? It was as if it was 10minutes, after that a joy unspeakable flooded our souls and we kept prophesying to one another.
That was why I understood why folks of old thought em disciples were drunk after the Holy Spirit fell on them.

Let me clear the air concerning the issue of angels. Scripture is clear that they are ministering spirits dispatched by heavenly command to minister "FOR" those who are the heirs of salvation. The greek word "for"(dia) is very important. It indicates that there are two levels of sending in angelic activity. First heaven sends them to us to serve us, the church, and then they minister for(dia) us as we release them to perform their invisible spiritual functions in the warfare.There is a technology behind this really. The technology is further revealed in Psalm 103:20,21. We are told the angels "excel" in strength, the hebrew word means they are warriors. They are action oriented, their warfare is explosive and strong and their strength is released in active doing. They do His word.
Forget these guys, I already explained the greek for ministering and minister in that Hebrews if they cannot understand plain English, how would they greek? undecided

The secret is that they heed the voice of His word, they do not respond to the divine intent of God by itself, but they need the spoken word of God to be released. The word "heed" is a hebrew word that means "to hear intelligently with an implication of instant obedience in action". The word "voice" means to call aloud and "word"(dabar) means a thing spoken forth.
E don do o... you'd worsen their confusion. Leave Hebrew and Greek

This is to say that these mighty warring exceedingly strong angels who are obedient to act instantly in agreement with divine intent, will hear intelligently and obey in powerful action when the word in the mind of God is uttered forth aloud through human lips in the earth. They minister for us the church. If we speak out the things that is in the mind of God( praying in the Spirit and also with scriptural insights and understanding), then the angelic powers in the spirit realm with praises and blessing on their lips go out to fight and win.

Not only do they advance the battle for us, they also act as a security force in the spirit realm to guard against enemy backlash. God issues a specific command on this in Psalam 91:11-13.

WinsomeX:
We are getting closer to the crux of the matter.

Thank you for your bold assertion. It is noted.
I sometimes laugh while praying, alot of times, it depicts victory. I never saw Hagin do it, neither did pastor chris teach me that while praying, I should laugh (very silly, right?) and seeing it, boy! I was glad I wasn't just misbehaving. Nlmediator is right, it pisses off the devil, it is NOT a doctrine, it is a level you come up in the spirit realm. Does the fact that you haven’t experienced it mean it is not of God? Now, your next line of defence would be where was it in the Bible? You cannot boldly claim now, that all forms of manifestations of the Holy Spirit was written in the Bible, can you?

That your WoF thread was/is an abysmal and dismal failure pointing to absurdity bro, and that's putting it mildly.

There’s A Purpose For Your Life · Thursday, October 30th

Pastor Chris

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

God has a purpose for your life; He has a purpose for everything that He does. In John 10:10, Jesus said, "...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." 1 John 3:8 says, "…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil." Then in Luke 19:10, He said, "...The son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." His purpose was very clear: He came to do the will of the Father. Like Him, you were born for a purpose; you came to do the will of your heavenly Father.

In Acts 26, we read about Saul of Tarsus, who on his way to Damascus had an encounter with the Lord. The Lord called him by name and said, "…I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness…" (Acts 26:16). God doesn’t do anything without a purpose. The reason He appeared to Saul, who later became Paul, was to make him a minister and a witness, so that he (Paul) would take the Gospel to the Gentiles (Acts 26:18).

Have you discovered your purpose? Do you know why you were born? If you haven’t found out, you can do that today! Be bold to ask the Lord; He’ll tell you. He could also speak to you expressly as He did to the Apostle Paul. He also guides you to that purpose as you walk with Him, and do the things He’s called you to do.

You weren’t born for nothing. You were born for the glory of God. You were born to walk with Him and bring Him honour. He planned from the beginning that you’d serve Him and live unto Christ. Let that purpose become established in your heart today. Take a hold of that revelation: the divine vision to bring Him glory; and you’ll experience tremendous growth and success in your life, and in all that you do.

Prayer...
Dear Father, your purpose for my life is established in my heart. I was born to bring you glory and honour. I live to fulfil my destiny in Christ, taking a hold of the divine vision and revelation to bring you glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: 
2 timothy 1:8-9; 8  Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

 9  Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began

acts 26:16-18
But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

 17  Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,

 18  To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

trustman:
Remember this by Hagin?:
"There are a number of teachings and practices in the Church today, particularly among Charismatic groups, that can lead to misunderstandings and hurtful problems. Many times, these errors are the result of people taking a Bible verse, or part of a verse, out of context or by carrying an application too far. Sometimes there has been an overzealous attempt to make a New Testament application of some Old Testament phrase or technicality that absolutely does not apply. Taken to the extreme, these teachings can become abuses and false practices."

Ask yourself (i.e. application of that statement - not just getting 'thrilled' or 'excited' or any of those words you like to use) this question:
"Am I guilty of any of these things?"

That is what Hagin wanted from his clan - introspection and a willingness to 'repent'.
If you didn't get that message then the book has been of no value to you, cynic Gombs.
Your opinion is duly noted! Thanks for the compliment! Now, run back to the sewers of NL and regroup, next chapter is coming up, and if you don’t like the thresd anymore, please do the needful.

If you cannot fathom that a man is essentially a tripartite being consisting of spirit, soul and body then the joke is on you.
this is also an error i tend to correct, man is not a tripartite being! Yes he is a spirit, that has a soul and body. Tripartite means

1.
shared by or involving three parties.
"a tripartite coalition government"
2.
consisting of three parts.
"a tripartite classification"

Use The Word To Deal With Anger · Wednesday, October 29th

Pastor Chris

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath (Ephesians 4:26).

One of the beauties of God’s Word is its practicability. You can practise the Word in any area of your life, and it’ll produce lasting results. For example, our opening verse that we just read: this should be something you practise consciously. Some people are not easy to be entreated when they’re angry; they cast off all restraints and even hold the grudge for a long time. Don’t be that way; use the Word to deal with anger.

Not allowing the sun to go down upon your wrath means if you’re angry about something, you deal with it right away, that same day. Never find yourself still angry about the same thing for a protracted period. The Bible says anger dwells in the bosom of fools (Ecclesiastes 7:9) and you’re not a fool.

Unrestrained anger is a satanic manipulation you must not give room for in your life. People who pander to such anger give opportunity for the demon of anger to take a hold of their minds. In walking with the Lord, one of the things He seeks to accomplish is to have His love fully expressed through you, such that you’re meek, kind and not easily provoked. Nobody with a bad temper ever succeeds permanently in life.

Remember Moses, God testified of him to be the meekest man on the face of the earth (Numbers 12:3). Nevertheless, when Moses yielded to anger, it cost him his ministry.

God had told him to speak to the rock to bring out water for the children of Israel (Numbers 20:cool, but because he was angry at the stubbornness of the Israelites, Moses struck the rock twice. Water still came out, however, but God wasn’t pleased (Numbers 20:11). He then said to Moses, "For this reason you will not take the children of Israel into the Promised Land" (Numbers 20:12). Moses was "fired" because of his anger.

Offences will come, according to the Bible; people will do things that may hurt or offend you, but never allow anger provoke and make you react in a way that you’ll regret. Stay in the Word and walk in love.

Confession...
The wisdom of God guides me to talk and live right always; manifesting the righteousness of Christ! I have a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God is of great price. I’m patient, compassionate and kind; and I demonstrate the love of God to my world today. Amen.

Further Study:
Luke 5:5; And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

acts 20:32; And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

Proverbs 19:11 The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression

So, you're Jesus now? If you don't know the relevance of what Jesus was doing there, and think you can use it as a general principle, you shouldn't even be in the religion section. Threatened and intimidated by who? You guys are filled with delusion. I simply do my best to avoid you.

You a the gullible, you and your WoF devotees. You swallow everything and anything offered to you by your WoF preachers. 

Since this thread has now given liberty to everyone to add whatever let's go ahead then. 

You Gombs, and your WoF crowd who are attempting to draw me into a discussion I should decide whether to be in or not, are dishonest and deceptive like the Serpent

Your attempt to force me into what I do not wish to join is not only a failure on your part in an aspect of a basic christian doctrine but a move that is no different from what the Beast will employ during the tribulation. Maybe you share some traits with him then. 

Those who have expressed the most unspiritual stance on this forum are you LEGALISTIC WoF crowd. 

We will continue in this open forum as long as we wish. You modern day PHARISEES have no resources within you to deter us. We will choose what to do or what not to do. We will decide whether to continue or withdraw. 

Vincit Omnia Veritas
Your opinion is duly noted! I understand why you don't want to snitch-Omerta!

Thanks for stopping by! kiss

But when COZA pastor was silent, your band nailed him harder than Christ.
When Pastor Chris did not 'do a press conference', your lot pronounced him guilty.
When Pastor's don't spaek after being accused, he is termed guilty.
#Shameless

When one pastor like that on GOD tv seperated from his wife, you weren't silent o! Can anyone guess what he did?

Weldone, keep forming Jesus o!
Leave these folks jare!

You should know them by now na! smiley

Bidam will have me apologize for calling his accusations his "inventions". Bidam, I apologize for calling it your invention. However since we do not have the quote where BBG made the alleged statement, I say this that though the accusation cannot be called an invention exactly, it is remains unverifiable and an allegation.
You apologised? Now, that's historic! cheesy
Hey! It's not an allegation! Well, we can choose to believe whatt we want.

Now, let me let us into this. I listened to a minister teach about Noah and that son of his that saw his unclothedness. The minister proved from that scripture that his son actually abused him sexually. Now some may believe this or they may choose not to; whichever way it is a theological point that has no relevance to the Christian life. That's the way I see the Eve had sex with serpent doctrine.
Poor attempt in damage control

DrummaBoy, trustman and BabaGnoni have so far on the WoF thread discussed 16 damnable heresies in both doctrine and practices of the Word of Faith. Assuming for a second that BBG actually believes this doctrine of Eve had sex with a Serpent, that will make the scores 16 to 1, heading to 20 to 1. Even the 1 is unfounded, unverifiable, unrelated to the Christian stand in life and hopelessly baseless.
So, it's hockey now? 16 to 1? Hahhahhaahaahhaahahaha
grin grin
You were counting? You guys should please crawl back to your WoF thread and keep typing away.

It is left to Bidam, Image123, mbaemeka, Gombs, and nlmediator to open a new thread and discuss the matter like responsible people would. An example has been set by the trio I listed above and the three of them have set out to discuss 20 reasons why the WoF doctrine is false. It will be the height of responsibility and sheer laziness if one or some of the five aforementioned WoF symphatizers cannot make out time to discuss a doctrine they feel is worth mentioning all the time, especially when they are under the heat.
I will not discuss with you guys, ever wondered why I avoided that thread? Call it laziness or whatnot, that's your headache.

I do not believe Eve slept with a serpent. If BBG believes it, I would love to hear his views on a separate thread. If he is wrong, its our duty to point it out to him like he does with WoF and I trust that he will repeal the doctrine.
grin

If however any of the noise makers about Eve having sex with a Serpent are not man enough to open a separate thread to discuss it civilly with BBG by the end of today, I will open that thread at 9am tomorrow to begin a Q and A with BBG on the said doctrine. I will moderate the thread and God help any WoF symphatiser come there and spew any rubbish out and you will see me at my best.
Create o, and you guys csn discuss better there, buy pop corn too! You have my word, I will NOT visit the thread. Thank you

Bidam:
Ofcos i understand you don't want to be a SNITCH. If you are afraid of babagnoni say so, so we could cast out the spirit of fear in you.

@Lordreed, thanks for bailing me out.

@gombs no mind these folks jare, i no get their time.

Trustman as usual you have proved the bible right that "woe is he that trust man.

Now all you have to do is tell your ally winsomeX to tender an unreserved apology for calling it "bidam's invention" before i could treat your anomalies you call a question.
Bro, no mind them. See folks trying to side step plain facts. If I had the topic of that thread, I'd have gotten it from Google cache, but now, getting it concisely would be a lot more harder, but possible. It's like looking for a needle in a hay sack, possible but hectic.

Apology ke? You go wait tire . Heheheheheh grin
