PastorKun: Catholic Church history only started in the fourth century AD, the real church history started in the first century AD. tongue
The first church started with the children of Israel, but it failed, but Christ did a better job! cool

Kunle, does the first century AD come before that? That topic would so derail una convention, a simple topic can be talked about, eg the concept of sin, the old church and the new-what happened? Etc

Your Faith Will Triumph -Tuesday August 5th

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith" (1 John 5:4).

Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Imagine that as a Christian parent or a minister of the Gospel, your son or daughter isn't living according to the training that you gave him or her in the Word. There may be some who'd be quick to judge and say, "So-and-so's parents are Christians, yet he behaves like a sinner." If this happened to you as a parent, don't be moved by what others may be saying.

Challenges come to everybody; so at the time you're facing your own challenges, stay focused on God's Word, and put your faith to work. Soon enough, that child will come into the right place and be all that God destined for him to be. Even the time others might have thought he lost will be regained, because God said, "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer worm..." (Joel 2:25). So in such matters, don't allow the negative sentiments of others dissipate your faith.

God gave us His Word so that no matter what we see or hear, we're not distracted; we stay focused. After all, as students, we were not Doctors, Lawyers, and Architects whilst in the university. We were in school, being trained for what we were going to be. If someone saw you while still in school and said, "Hey, you don't look like a Doctor, Lawyer or Architect," you'd probably have replied, "I don't look like it yet, because I'm in training for it."

In like manner, we're all still being trained by the Spirit of God through the Word to be all He's destined us to be. If you already have children, keep training them in the Word. Even when it looks like they're not imbibing the culture of the Word, keep at it. Recall what we read in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Give some time; the results of the training will be evident.

Never give up your faith because of the negative opinions of gainsayers; learn to live by the Word. No matter what you see or experience, your faith will triumph. Glory to God!

Prayer. ..
Dear Father, my faith increases as I give myself to the study of your Word. Teach me to take advantage of the grace that's in Christ Jesus, and to live a life of faith that is based on your Word, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Further Study:
2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth

honeric01: Yes, how did they rebel if they have no free will? then why did Jesus say "Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven"?

Are you saying Jesus lied about that?
If its God's will that's the only will done in heaven, who then gave Satan the "will" to sin?
All through the bible, has any Angel taken any decision different from that which was given by God to the angel?

Now, if Angels have will, where then did sin come from and who created the "sinful" will?
i gave u verses as u requested, u said angels have no mind of theirs, i refuted the lie, gave you verses, and asked if they had no will like u said they dont, how were they able to rebel? now u still asking me who gave satan will? Sin is simply acting against God's will...now do the math and stop asking where then did sin come from and who created the "sinful" will?

but if u wanna belive they dont have will, fine...now give way for others to read and learn a thing or two, i have no time for redundancy. wink

honeric01: Matthew 6:9-13

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]
but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’

God's will is the only will done in heaven!

Now show us yours.
Heheheheheh, see scripture backup na. Ok o

Ok, if 1/3 of angels rebelled, how was that possible if they had no free will?

Angels are spiritual beings who have personalities that include emotions (Luke 2:13), intelligence (2 Corinthians 11:3), and wills (2 Timothy 2:26). Satan was an angel who was cast out of heaven along with many other angels who decided to follow him and chose to sin (2 Peter 2:4). In terms of free will, the Bible reveals this was an exercise of their ability to choose (Jude 1:6).

Some scholars believe there was a sort of “probation period” for the angels, similar to the time whenAdam and Evewere in the garden. Those angels who did not choose to sin and follow Satan have become the “elect” angels (1 Timothy 5:21), confirmed in holiness. These angels are also referred to as “holy angels” (Mark 8:38) and “holy ones” (Psalm89:5)

Now, would you humbly take it to heart as you said so that we can move on together? smiley

honeric01: But Angels have no mind of their own, they carry out God's will in heaven according to the bible, so where did the will to rebel and sin that came into the devil (Lucifer) come from?

Reference " The lord's prayer"
Says? Oya show me for Bible. Thanks.

Let me sch u on angels' mind and mode of operation a lil bit, while u get busy searching the above in the Bible

Even though spiritual and immortal by nature, the human soul, in this life, depends in a very large measure on the human body for its operations.[size=20pt]All the Angels are endowed with intellect and free will. [/size]No pure spirit is conceivable without these natural faculties. The Angels are commonly called "minds," "intelligences" by theologians and philosophers. Dionysius calls them "celestial intelligences," "intellectual beings," "supercelestial beings," etc. Exalted knowledge and intelligence are the most outstanding qualities of an Angel according to human standards. Thus, in praising David's wisdom, the woman from Thecua could not find a similar intelligence here on earth and compared it to that of an Angelic mind: "Thou, my lord, O King, art wise, according to the wisdom of an Angel of God."

Well some folks say God did... but did He?
the bible recorded that all God created was good, everything He did was good. Who then created the devil?


Lucifer created the devil out of himself. just as God created every human being good, but He cant be responsible for how some folks turn out, eg He is NOT responsible for the Suicide bombers, Killers, thieves etc.

These (the Bereans) were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Beautifulme4me: [quote author=Gombs

And yes, if u r not born again, u are under that curse...if u r born again, u can be subject to that curse if u don't lay hold of your inheritance
@Gomba Sir, how can you explain this. Does it mean that Jesus himself who is the word could not remit the sins thereby canceling those curses? born again Christians still suffer all those curses. example: there is still painful labour for every woman and all that. i know God forgave Adam and Eve from your elaboration above. that's why he thought of alternative way of bringing man back to himself through Jesus.
should i now conclude that God's pronunciation in the garden of Eden, is beyond what Jesus came to Remit?
Jesus has come to take us back to God, but could not remove those curses?
Jesus paid the full price on that cross, and said It is Finished. Remember, when Mary wanted to touch Him after His resurrection, He said
John 20 KJV
 17  Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.


We have been made right with God that’s why Jesus said "my Father and Your Father..." , meaning we have all Christ has now, and Jesus was/is not ashamed to call us brethren. So, if u are born again, u are a new specie, u never existed before, u have no past, for u can no longer be traced to Adam, but to Jesus. You are no longer under the curse, but hey! If you don’t discover who and what u are, you will live like mere men, and surely under the curse mere men go through, for the Bible declared, my people perish, not for lack of money, or job, or health, but for lack of knowledge of God’s Word.

As pertaining the painful labour, it is not every woman as u said, u see why we need teach and not just only preach? those who knew and understood they can't go through such gave birth without pains...you thought the Hebrew women's story was fictional? Those folks didn’t have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them as we do today, u can imagine how so much better ours with the Holy Spirit can be.
Women in labour don't have to experience pain during labour. However, it is based on the revelation knowledge of our superior life in Christ. I've seen women give birth without pain.

And, I'm not a pastor, but I'm a Bible study Class teacher, who's made up his mind to be like the Berean Christians. smiley

The Fellowship Of Prayer · MONDAY 4th August· 

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14).

Anyone who wants to have a good standard for praying ought to emulate Jesus. Studying His prayer life, I observed what He did that the religious people of his day didn’t do, for which reason He had such outstanding results in prayer: He separated the labour of prayer from the fellowship of prayer. There’s such a thing as "prayer labour" or "prayer work"; you can literally count the number of times Jesus prayed this way. However, His prayer fellowship is what we really need to emulate; that’s what was different about His prayer life.

His prayer labour wasn’t different from that of the great prophets who came before Him. Moses, Joshua, Elijah, Elisha, David, etc., all prayed, and their prayers are chronicled for us in Scripture. But there was something that they didn’t have, which the Lord Jesus brought in: living in the Father’s presence in continual fellowship. This was different; this was new. Jesus lived in the Father’s presence, in continual fellowship.

The early prophets didn’t have this, because they couldn’t. If they could, they would have, because they loved God. Nevertheless, the reason they couldn’t was that they didn’t have the enablement of the Holy Spirit. Jesus did. No one can walk in such extraordinary fellowship with the Father except by the Holy Spirit. It’s His ministry and delight to bring us into that place of constant and continual fellowship with the Father.

That’s why the Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, prayed thus in our opening verse. That wasn’t given to us just to recite as closing benediction during our church services and meetings. It was a revelation. The Father is in heaven, the Lord Jesus is in heaven, but the Holy Spirit is here with us on earth. He’s in us and with us. In Him, we have the presence of Jesus and the Father. He doesn’t come and go; we have become His dwelling place. He lives in us and has become part of our dayto- day existence. He talks to us all the time. As we listen to Him, we’re guided, instructed, led in the path of excellence, glory, dominion, and power.

Prayer...
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the great honour and wonderful privilege of fellowshipping with you in prayer. My times of personal relationship with you are heartfelt and productive. Through the Holy Spirit, I’m guided to know your perfect will, and I’m led in the way that I should go, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study: 
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
