Seun: donclark: We do bring old threads to the home page from time to time, if they are relevant and if they have never made the home page. We clearly mark them as old threads by appending the year of creation to the home page title e.g. "The Truth About CEC Healing School (2008)". As for the claim that people want to bring him down, whether that's "good" or "bad" depends on whether the charges against him are true or not. We're primarily interested in uncovering the truth about these allegations through a thorough discussion distortion of the facts by Nairalanders.
fixed cool

if you need facts, write to the Hq... rumour peddling and old wives tale gets us no where. Don't turn your forum to rumour and gossips hotbed. Thank me later. Seun, na you make me come this thread o! i avoided it for 6years angry

[quote author=trustman]
Let's not lose focus on the main issue - Jesus HAD THE INHERENT ABILITY TO HEAL anyone WITHOUT first teaching.
I have healed folks with out teaching, why, because they believed I could, simple. Just because you haven't wrought the supernatural don't mean it is impossible or not true

1 John 4: 17 is simply telling us that Christians represent Christ here on earth. How? As part of our ambassadorship.
lipsrsealed
We are exactly as He is Not was... all He did we can do, even more

Christ is the first begotten. And we? 1 John 3: 2&3: "2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

We are and will always be accepted IN BELOVED. We don't stand on our own merits. 

Again to get back; Jesus Christ is UNIQUE - remember the Israelites shama -  'Hear oh Israel' ? It was a pointer to this uniqueness of Jesus.
Bro, if you can't explain why He was once THE ONLY BEGOTTEN of the father before His death, then after resurrection He became THE FIRST BEGOTTEN of the Father... I can understand, thank you.

His ministry, including his healings, [size=20pt]was unique [/size]therefore for any man to EQUATE himself with Jesus is blasphemous. 
What made it unique? Shey His Holy Spirit was and is different from ours, abi? Is it not the same Spirit that raised Him from the dead that dwells in our bodies? Was it not the same Holy Spirit that did those great works in Jesus that's in us today? Is it not the fullness of the Godhead that dwells in us bodily? Or maybe that same spirit in Jesus is on sabbatical and the lower version in us. undecided

Please, what makes Jesus' miracles unique than today's? Why did He then say we shall do greater works than He did if we believe?

That is why I stated that it was impossible for it (his power to do miracles) to be lessened because of unbelief or lack of faith. When he chose not to do miracles it was an act of his will. Jesus was in a class of his own.
What class?
Put this in perspective
[NLT] John 17:22 “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one.
Christianity Etc › Re: Truth Behind Christ Embassy Healing School By Sir John by Gombs(m):
mbaemeka: Bro Gombs,

Thank you o. I shared the same things you just did on some other thread and it was like what I quoted wasn't from scripture. I am happy you are showing it to them. I have more respect for him than his friend as he sometimes discusses the scriptures. His Pal will see scriptures and runaway or isolate a miniscule aspect of your post and feign peity yet he will be starting threads and calling people's father's and husband's "Charlatans and evil".

Sometimes I wonder what they think they know if the knowledge of these scriptures is above them. It reminds me of when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus and had to ask him "Are you the leader of Israel yet you don't know all these things?".

We just have to pray like Paul that the eyes of their understanding will be enlightened so that they may know the hope of our calling and the riches of our inheritance in Christ even as he takes form in them and dwells in their heart by faith-as it is clear that it is not so as we speak. Amen.
Exactly! It's just prayers o. I naturally would have ignored a lot of threads on NL, but I can't, God’s Spirit let me know that I have to be here. If not for the presence of a select few on NL, imagine the gospel and theory DB, et al write here and the very many who'd have been in the bondage of religion.

One thing I thank God for is the ministry I found myself in, plus the education I got... They've termed me brainwashed, gullible and such, but I'm not perturbed, neither am I moved by their addresses online, the real world is outside, where souls languish, and we give them light, by that alone I know many folks who try to nail Churches and Pastors don't have any idea of spiritual discipline and authority...but if DB thinks by his threads on NL he'd pull down CEC, he should have a rethink, the media failed at it years back and are now, you can’t block the sun with one finger, neither a moving train with ropes.

I saw a thread about bashing T.B Joshua and I smiled, why? If only they knew the implications. I pray they know the hope of our calling as Christians and know it is a terrible thing to fall on the Rock or when the rock falls on them.

But in a great house (Church of God) there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work (2 Timothy 2:20-21)

As it can be seen there’re different qualities of vessels in God’s house: vessels of silver and gold, and vessels of wood and of earth. Being born again, we’re all vessels in the house of God, made for honouring Him. Some however, decide to be clay and wood unto dishonour of the body of Christ. Sadly, they don't know an insult to the body is an insult to the Head.

trustman: Now you're coming out to truly show yourself as one who sets out to 'bully' others. Well done!

Because the WoF advocates deify man they find it easy to put Jesus Christ in the same mould as themselves. It is therefore easy for them to look at him from their own perspective. 
[size=19pt]The Christian cannot equate himself with Jesus. [/size]
See: https://www.nairaland.com/1790500/word-faith-movements-doctrine-proponents/4#24527108

Note again what I have mentioned previously:
By proclaiming ourselves to be "little gods" we try to place ourselves on the same level with God. Without doubt, this is the very height of arrogance and is nothing more than self-worship and self-glorification.

 The only person who can be termed to be in the God Class is the Lord Jesus Christ who is described in the book of Hebrews as being “the exact representation of his being” or “express image of his (God’s) person” – Hebrews 1:3.

Therefore Jesus HAD THE INHERENT ABILITY TO HEAL anyone WITHOUT first teaching. 
When he healed a man with a demon in Mark 5: 1-20 what TEACHING did he do before the healing? Going on from there in the same Mark 5 when he got to the house of a ruler of the synagogue to heal/resuscitate his daughter could he TEACH the dead before performing the miracle? And he still performed the miracle in spite of the people's reaction - "40[b] [size=14pt]And they laughed at him. But[/size] [/b]he put them all outside and took the child's father and mother and those who were with him and went in where the child was.
41 Taking her by the hand he said to her, "Talitha cumi," which means, "Little girl, I say to you, arise."
42 And immediately the girl got up and began walking (for she was twelve years of age), and they were immediately overcome with amazement.
Now if you tell me it's perhaps because the parents of the girl had faith that is why Jesus WAS ABLE to raise the girl from the dead then I'll ask you why your 'MoG''s faith alone is not able to work on those who had little or no faith.
So do you see now that Jesus DID NOT need to teach first before he could heal?
Can you explain 1 John 4:17 for me? Why did Jesus say we shall do greater things than He did? Why did the Bible call him the first begotten of the father after His resurrection Rev 1:5, for He was termed as the ONLY begotten of the Father before His death as in John 1:14

If He's the first begotten, shey it means there are many others after Him, no?

Christianity Etc › Re: Truth Behind Christ Embassy Healing School By Sir John by Gombs(m):
Jesus [size=20pt]DID NOT[/size] need to teach first before he could heal
It's like you want to out do Drummaboy in teaching lies. The emphasis on DID NOT is a terrible form of your shallow knowledge of Scripture

Mba has shown u one, where Jesus could not do mighty miracles (meaning He tried but it did not work) and I'm sure your lot at the time went about saying Jesus was fake for they came with their polio sister and Jesus could not heal her. But Jesus didn’t say "ok, we will see on the last day who's real or not" , Bible said he went around TEACHING, teaching what? Faith in God, for these folks had unbelief like no other.

Haven't you ever read "your faith has made you whole" "moved by his faith, Jesus healed him"....one thing qas certain FAITH. That's why we teach faith in God, but you true gospel preachers opened a tgread against faith teaching, can't u see the devil is doing a fine job on u and your band?

Let me not go into the rest, for sake of not looking like I'm bullying you...but bro, you don't really know scripture. Yet, you lot are the 'true gospel' preachers

Sanctified For The Master’s Use · Monday September 15th

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work (2 Timothy 2:20-21).

As it can be seen in our opening verses, there’re different qualities of vessels in God’s house: vessels of silver and gold, and vessels of wood and of earth. Being born again, we’re all vessels in the house of God, made for honouring Him.

None of us was made "unto dishonour"; each one of us has been raised for His glory, but you can decide if you’re going to be a vessel of honour, or a vessel of dishonour. That’s what Paul meant when he said, "If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use…." To be "sanctified" means to be separated or set apart unto God for His sacred use, while to be "meet" means to be qualified.

We’ve already been sanctified: "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all" (Hebrews 10:10). He has also qualified us (made us meet), to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12). Therefore, you’ve been purged and cleansed from all that’s ignoble and unclean. You’re fit for the Master’s use. However, you must place yourself where you ought to be, and be available for Him to use you. The responsibility is yours, to be in a constant state of readiness, and be willing to take on more responsibilities for the Lord.

You may never know what more the Lord intends to do with your life, which is why you must be willing and ready to do more all the time. Make yourself available for greater responsibilities in the house of God, and do all you’re asked to do faithfully, with a sincere heart.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for your love and grace, which you’ve lavishly bestowed upon me, in sanctifying me for your sacred use, and qualifying me to be the partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. I yield completely to you and declare that my life is for your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Pray With Understanding -SUNDAY September 14th ·

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven (Matthew 18:19).

There’s such a thing as praying with understanding, just as we can praise God with understanding. Now this is different from praying or praising with "the" understanding. Praying with "the" understanding is praying to God through your mind, in the language that you can understand. In other words, you’re not praying in tongues. 1 Corinthians 14:14 says, "For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful."

On the other hand, praying with understanding means, you understand the principles of that particular prayer; you’re praying according to God’s Word, and your prayer has a definite direction; you know the reason for praying as well as the result! You’re praying, knowing who you are: a joint heir with Christ and also knowing the one to whom you’re praying: the Monarch of the Universe. Consequently, you pray with reverence and in faith, confident that there’s nothing too difficult for Him to do.

Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Thus, in praying with understanding, you have a knowledge of who you are in Christ; you have knowledge of the Father, and you have the knowledge of the truth that without faith it’s impossible to please God.

In addition, you know that without the Word of God in operation, your prayer is empty; so you pray the Word. Even when you speak in tongues, you’re aware that you’re not speaking to men but to God; you’re speaking mysteries concerning the situation: "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries" (1 Corinthians 14:2).

This is how you pray when there’s a "matter." When something is happening in your life or in your country that’s not consistent with the will of God, pray with understanding and you’ll have results.

Prayer...
I thank you Lord for the enlightenment and impartation of knowledge that I received today on prevailing prayer. My faith is strong, as I pray with understanding to change negative circumstances to align with your perfect will for me, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

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

Even when you speak in tongues, you’re aware that you’re not speaking to men but to God; you’re speaking mysteries concerning the situation: "For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries" (1 Corinthians 14:2).

This is how you pray when there’s a "matter." When something is happening in your life or in your country that’s not consistent with the will of God, pray with understanding and you’ll have results.

Prayer...
I thank you Lord for the enlightenment and impartation of knowledge that I received today on prevailing prayer. My faith is strong, as I pray with understanding to change negative circumstances to align with your perfect will for me, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
