Think About The Lost · SUNDAY 24th August ·

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart (Ephesians 4:17-18).

The verses above reveal the dangerous plight of the unbeliever. He is in spiritual darkness and is alienated; that is, cut off from the life of God. Ephesians 2:3 further refers to them as children of wrath. That means children appointed unto the wrath or anger of God. What a terrible state for anyone to be! Ephesians 2:12 refers to them as "hopeless and without God in the world."

While still a student on campus, many years ago, I read this portion of Scripture and it got me thinking. I considered the students on campus that were living without God, and thought, "Dear Lord, how could anyone live in such darkness? How could they go to bed at night, and live another day without God?"

I was moved with compassion and began to intercede for them: "O, God, don’t let them die and go to hell without receiving Christ. Help me to reach them, and tell them about Jesus," I’d pray. I felt constrained to tell them about Jesus, because nothing could be more damning than living without God and having no hope in the world! This should make you think about your friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbours and associates that aren’t born again. They’re hopeless in the world, without Christ.

You can’t afford to let them keep living without God, drifting farther and farther into the abyss of darkness. Let the hopelessness of their situation compel you to intercede for them. Pray that they’d be delivered from the domain of darkness and the power of Satan unto the glorious liberty of the sons of God. You may be the only one with the opportunity to touch their lives with the Gospel. Therefore, preach to them and teach them the Word. Tell them God loves them so much He sent Jesus to die for them (John 3:16).

Contribute your time, effort, and resources to soulwinning. Be known for your passion for the Lord, His Gospel, and the souls of men.

Prayer...
  Dear Father, I thank you for enlightening me through your blessed Word on the value of every soul. I pray for all those who’re unsaved, my friends, relatives, colleagues and associates, to be delivered from darkness unto light, and be turned from the power of Satan unto God, and become partakers of your righteousness, in Jesus’ mighty Name. Amen.

italo: The doctor says Jesus cured her...that name is like hot coal on the head of the children of satan.

Look at them.

I wonder what's their headache really!

nora544: This doctor has to say it that Jesus healhim. He belong to samaritian purse an american christian charity organisation and they first they make is preaching the gospel and the second is that they have doctors who help people.

This samaritian purse belong to the charity organisation of Billy graham and his son is the head of samaritian purse, so when he come out to tell all that ZMAP had heal him, that will show that prayers not always working and they will lose followers and what is more important is money.

Why this organisation when they claim they will help people who need doctors run away from Liberia, at the moment only doctors with out border (MSF) and health worker from the WHO in the country.

I have a good informations from SOS child village about the situation in the country Liberia and they have also a health center in Monrovia and they didnot have any lose on ebola because they know what they have to do.

That the spanish priest died on ebola has to do that they didnot have the right equipment and that one person make a test and that comes out negative but he had ebola, at the moment one from 150 test didnot show it right that is the next problem but scientiest work on it.

Your bitterness is affecting your ability to construct a decent English sentence ma'am, told you, bitterness won't make you smarter nor younger! Invest your time in the Bible and an English class, I know English is not your country's lingua franca, but u just have to hate on pastor's and churches by all means, right? Even in unbearably illegible write ups, I know you feel you are saying the 'truth', but ma'am, like the pic below, am amazed why u simply love hating!

No need engaging ur post...the above bold sums up ur mindset about Christianity, and am almost sure u are a sore Christian heading on the fast lane to atheism, that's if you are not there yet!

Now, have yourself a productive afternoon ma'am..

Create Your Thoughts -Saturday, August 23rd .

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23).

Some define thoughts as imaginations, but thoughts are more than imaginations. Imaginations are pictures or images of the mind that interpret your thoughts. Thoughts are powerful; they can deliver to you a glorious life, or keep you on the sideline of life. The Bible says as a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). You’re the character of your thoughts.

If you’d let the Word dominate your thinking, it’ll give you the right mindset of victory, success, and dominion, with visions of limitless possibilities. Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind….” When your thoughts are consistent with the provisions of God’s Word, your life will be a reflection of His glory, for the glory is in the Word.

Consider Joshua; the Lord said to him, “…See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour” (Joshua 6:1-2). How was he supposed to see the victory ahead of the battle? It was with the power of His mind, his thoughts and imaginations. If Joshua hadn’t seen the victory in his mind, Israel would never have possessed Jericho.

What does that tell you? It means, the extent of your vision is the boundary of your blessing. How far you can see with your mind, through the power of thoughts, is how much you will possess.

What do you see? What are your thoughts? Discipline your mind; choose the thoughts you accept. This marks a difference between the one who is disciplined, and turns out to be a success, and the one who isn’t: their thinking. Direct your mind to think the right thoughts. You’re the one to choose the way your thoughts must go; you're the one to create your thoughts: “…whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report…think on these things” (Philippians 4:8 ).

Confession. ..
My mind is anointed to think the “God-kind” of thoughts. As I meditate on your Word, I build a wealth of thoughts that keep me in the arena of glory, health, and prosperity, causing me to live the best life here on earth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study:
1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. ;

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Tgirl4real: lol.

I can't believe people are still this deceived in 2014.



This comment is particularly hilarious.

Prophesy my foot!!!

Abeg park well!

Bad bellerism won't make you beautiful o

Joagbaje: How com zmapp hasn't cured the multitude of patients?

They claim it cured the American doctor...but not the Spanish priest and certainly not the hundreds who it's been administered to in Liberia, strange it worked only on that American

DrummaBoy: Has anybody bothered to ask why Chris Oyakhilome's "Atmosphere for Miracles" was banned, along with other faith healing shows, from Nigerian TV by the NBC?

Its apparent Joagbaje has learnt the trade of his masters.

I commend the authorities of Nairaland for doing what any sane organization should do.

Joagbaje, please sell your story on Yookos where enough gullible folks will buy and post us a link here.

And the failed Blogger cum comedian in his late fourties never cease to disappoint...u would definitely leave the thread and OP and attack his church! Anyways, AFM was banned by NBC, but that gave rise to LoveworldSat, LoveworldPlus, etc... he was reaching a mere 80million with NBC, now he's reaching billions without the aid of nbc.. methinks that's a blessing!

You are yet to go bash T. B. Joshua on why NBC banned his programme, and why he said ebola is of the devil. Don't forget to alert your atheist friends when u ready sha!
Praise Jesus!

^^
Atheists, professing to be smart the became dim wits

Meanwhile! We've derailed enough, and I haven't got the time to engage another atheist, a female one at that!

Now, the thread is about the American doctor and his testimony, cheers!

Joagbaje: Let them come, it will only become international publicity for Jesus . The man is a UN official , the wife is a magistrate .

i can imagine the headline
"Pastor quarantine for ebola:virus non existent,UN official healed,4 others confirm infection and healing"

enough publicity for the healing power in the name of Jesus.

i dare them to alert 'higher' authorities

UrbanMystique: Science doesnt claim to know everything,

Why shd my life be patterned after imperfections then?

its not a deity, it just a process.

A process started by? Right..the big bang, go on!

science has proven itself worthy over the years than religion ever did.

You're right...but Christianity is not a religion.

god claims it can do everything but waits for science to cover its ass.

Yeah, wait for em pagans... God I know is alive and He can answer why man age and die! Your science can't

btw, what would you rather do if you have headache? use paracetamol or pray?

The question should be "gombs, do u get sick?" And I certainly reply "No, but if I do (I strongly doubt it) I'd cast it out, u won't understand tho" ...but Christianity is no way against medicine, God created herbs for a reason, don't you think so? Our fathers of old used herbs for headaches, not science. Science discovered what healed the pain in those herbs.

ebola victims are dieing despite their belief in god,

Jo said he healed one, u attack him, if no one heals in the name of God, u attack God... why?

science saved them,

But a scientists, a doctor actually told the world via cnn that it was Jesus that healed him...u wanna attack him now? Right, go ahead.

science made god look like crap. gerrit?

Yet science can't explain how the DNA is carefully loaded with data...or why darkness cannot be the opposite of light, even though they claim it is?

e.g you someone tells you that burping into the air can make you fly and you believed with all your heart, you are in airplane and suddenly there is a plane crash and you jumped off the plane, now its time to test your burping belief.. you burped repeatedly and not happened, you are about to die and someone suddenly gave you a parachute, the parachute saved your life (despite parachute showing you burping is full of crap and the person that gave you the idea in the first place) you still go ahead and thank the person that gave you the idea of burping for creating parachute

Very silly example! Plane crash before I jump off? too much nollywood aint good dear! Am about to die and one hands me a parachute? Darn!

so burping created parachute so it can look like crap right?

Baloney

OLAADEGBU: Now that you have finished talking to the person you quoted can you now address the OP?

Oya Godwin

UrbanMystique: but god can explain all that right?

You said science makes God look like crap...yet u and science can say why man age and die! Pathetic

Mynd44: I am willing to slow it propagate our stance to obey the FG's directive

Egbon, Don't u get it? Can't you see folks deliberately insulting and flouting rules 2 and 3? Which directive from FG permits that?

Zikdik: Ever heard of Programmed Cell Death?

How does that explain how man age and die?

UrbanMystique: no, science makes god look like crap

Ur opinion! And it's not different from sheer baloney! Science cant even explain why man age and die, even though his cells regenerate every now and then

Zikdik: An American doctor? What's the difference betwixt her and the Nigerian doctor who died recently? She was a Christian. Jesus couldn't heal her?
That's just bloody racial.

It's like saying a man went to barber to get a clean shave, to avoid arrest and come around and told you I went to xyz salon, and another went around bushy and was arrested, yet u blame xyz salon for its inability to save that one, when you don't know whether or not that one did what a salon would require for a shave.

UrbanMystique: lmao

jesus made science to debunk his own existence
this jesus must be stup.id

So science has debunked God's existence.? Hmmm...keep making simpleton of yourself

italo: You forget that the one testifying is a doctor.

She knows that Jesus is the maker of even science.

Bro, ignore the ignorance of the ignorant!

Mynd44: That thread was deleted cos it is in violation of the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Egbon mi, shey this thread does not violate rules 2 and 3 ni?

Joagbaje: What's the danger? Are you a demon? I'm only dangerous to devils and demonic entities. .

Matthew 11:5-6
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

I'm beginning to ask same o.


Anyways, seun, mukina2, mynd44, it would be interesting to note u hid Jo's thread for special reasons, but let a thread insulting another stand, where are your rules? Where's your sanity?

I wanna believe u guys haven't seen the thread yet..but if you have, may whatever u believe in judge you.

nora544: Admin please bann this man he is dangerous!

That is the same the herbalist in siera leone make when she told her comunity that she can heal Ebola!

Your bitterness is getting in its acute stage o... anyways, a simple question, do u doubt miracles still happen today? Or you doubt a nairalander can wrought healing in the name of Jesus?

frosbel: Don't congratulate yourself too soon, our schedule is not based on your expectations but on the right timing and right audience.


What you fail to see in the immediate now is how thousands have already been delivered from this LIE on nairaland , and are also passing on this truth to others and creating a pyramid scheme not of mammon but of liberation from this demonic LIE of the tithe.

We will share the final tract once I get a few things (work related ) out of the way.

Make sure you don't eat ur words by November. Thousands liberated huh? u want me to dog up the thewad Kunle hatched asking folks to give their 'testimonies' on why the stopped tithing? You should see how a monumental failure it was, but of course aomw folks love to live within the figments of the polluted imaginations!

See u n d tract before November. Cheers! Say me hi to em kids

The Fullness Of The Blessings Of The Gospel ·FRIDAY 22nd August· 

When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain. And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ (Romans 15:28-29).

Years ago, as I studied the words of the Apostle Paul in our opening scripture, I was elated that it’s possible for one to have the fullness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ. This wasn’t only for Paul and the rest of the Apostles, but for all of us Christians: it’s possible to walk in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel. What does this mean? It means to walk in the fullness of your inheritance in Christ.

No wonder the Apostle Paul made bold to say, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13). In Galatians 2:20-21, he said, "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. I do not frustrate the grace of God…" (Galatians 2:20-21).

Walking in the fullness of the blessings of Christ is possible in this earth. As you walk in oneness with the Holy Spirit, you’ll discover that life is easy and stressless, and free from every form of frustration. Nothing in this earth can frustrate me, because I walk in the light of the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ. I can’t be overcome; I’m an overcomer, because Christ is in me. This should be your meditation as well.

Live in the fullness of your inheritance in Christ. Christ has died; He’s risen from the dead; He’s won the battle for you already; there’s no need to struggle for anything anymore. 1 Peter 1:11 talks about the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. Live in the victory and glory of Christ. You’re a victor for life. Blessed be God!P

Prayer...  
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the revelation of your Word to me today. I walk in the fullness of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ, and in the glory of my inheritance in Him. I’m an overcomer, because the greater One lives in me. Amen.

Further Study: 
John 16:33; [KJV] These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

1 Peter 1:10 [KJV] Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:

11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

PastorKun: Stop spreading filthy lies, trinity is NOT a doctrine of Christ. It's a pagan concept adopted and mis-applied by the RCC to christianity and no one is required to believe such rubbish for salvation.
