OLAADEGBU: It's either you address the points raised on this thread or you forever hold your peace.I tire o ![]() |
honeric01: Matthew 6:9-13Heheheheheh, 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? ![]() |
OLAADEGBU: Unless you are giving the lame excuse that I have kept you out of God's Kingdom. ![]() Oya Frosbel, is he? |
honeric01: Provide us biblical references before i even take your comment to heart...After you! U first made a claim.... now, oblige me ![]() |
Oduduwaboy: The human mind created the Devil just like it created 'God'.Lucifer is his name, devil is what he became...now, leave me with my imaginations. ![]() |
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?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." |
frosbel: I am no JW, simply a free thinking Christian -no such thing as a free thinking Christan...that's practicing religion and clearly idolatary Gal 2:22 NIV I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. if Christ lives in you, definitely His thoughts are now your thoughts, for u were bought with a price, you are no longer your own, you are no longer free thinking... No wonder you turned out the way you are |
ejlee: wait i dey come make i ask GOOGLE ![]() |
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. |
frosbel: This is what happens when you have been inoculated with the poison of a false Gospel and hence immune to the true Gospel. ![]() JW's sha |
Beautifulme4me: Thanks @Gombs. pls what does Berean Christian mean? ![]() Acts 17:10-11 KJV And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 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. God bless you. |
trustman: The mediafixed ![]() i cancelled the above because it is like saying all barbers should go and meet all men with unkempt hair and beards and give them a cut. ![]() Did Jesus go to infirmaries to heal the sick in his day just to prove the Pharisees he is from God? ![]() |
nora544: I am a christian and no one should play with ebola, and tell fake stories!!!!!you dont know what Christianity is all about then! your above sentence in bold sums up your believing. |
nora544: this new churches will try all that they can get money!Was he lying? Can't prayer cure all diseases that has a name? Are u sure u are Christian? ![]() |
PastorKun: Trust you to support your cohort even when it is obvious all he has written is full of lies and mis-information. ![]() |
Beautifulme4me: [quote author=GombsJesus 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. ![]() |
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. 1 year Bible reading plan: romans 8:1-17 Psalms 68-69 2 year Bible reading plan: Ephesians 5:25-33 Isaiah 55 |

Alwaystrue: Hello @beautifulme4me,*Standing Ovation Op, even if they asked for forgiveness, they couldn't have gotten it. Why? What they needed then was remission of sin, not forgiveness, Sin became their very nature the moment they sold out to the devil... for the Bible declares that who you obey is master over u...they obeyed the devil, and he became master over mankind, with a terrible rule and principles. That was why God gave a prophesy saying the seed of the woman would bruise the hesdmof the serpent...from then on, God carefully chose and crafted a way for the saviour to come. Noah looked like he was gonna be the man, but after the flood, noah sold out too...but thank God for faithful Abraham. The saviour took that long to come because of the disobedience of the children of Israel..but he finally came! Halleluiah 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 Gal 4:2 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: ...no more ready made eden.... That's why we have to study the Scriptures, for Jesus is the Word, know the Word n u will know God...Speak in tongues...lay hold of what's yours, take back what the devil stole from you. |
[quote author=Candour] Haba my friend, I just waka come na!! You're right, my question might derail it actually but that's not the intention. Wish he could have been more detailed but then if not no problem.Yeah...u r right, details would have been nice..but before you know it, the purpose of the thread would be long defeated....thanks for understanding You should know I don't do denomination politics but agreed it might be dragged down that lane.I know u na...u get enough pedigree pass some nl religion section posters..happy Sunday bro |
Image123: Yeah, John Lake was indeed a man of healing and awesome divine powers. But i don't understand why folks are tying the plague AS A MATTER OF FACT to Ebola. It could have been maybe, but it could also be something else, maybe even worse. Or do you have anything else concrete that makes you think it's Ebola. What i got was whatsapp and Bbm broadcasts. Robert Liardon didn't say Ebola oh, na just plague the man talk.Well, yeah...you've got a point there...but, at this instance the name of the disease is irrelevant, the faith is! |
Emphatically Yes! Your question should be "Does God wants us sick?" |
umm candour,its a bit too early to derail the thread,why dont u just let folks with such experiences have the floor?if dey then wish to share the reason(s),fine. op,me thinks whatever reason it was shd nt be shared here,especially nairaland.the next question would be "what is the name of ur church"? |
Image123: Great books those, inspiring any day. i've not seen that fourth one oh. What's with this G Lake and ebola sef?Bro...that story was something else...I couldn't do a copy n paste, but I hope the picture below would speak for itself His faith was a staggering one

To date he has sold over six million books worldwide in over fifty languages and is internationally renowned. An author of over forty Christian and self-help books, Roberts' career in ministry began when he gave his first public address at the age of thirteen. At seventeen he published his first book, I Saw Heaven, which catapulted him into the public eye. By the time he was eighteen years old, he was one of the leading public speakers in the world. Later he would write and produce a book and video series entitled God's Generals, which became a best-selling Christian series and established Roberts as one of the leading Protestant church historians. Roberts' eminence increased outside Christendom as well. Twice he was voted Outstanding Young Man in America, and his career has taken him to over one hundred nations. He has been hosted by presidents, kings, leading political and religious leaders, as well as other world dignitaries. He has had the pleasure of meeting the likes of Billy Graham, former President Ronald Regan, and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and he received a letter from President George W. Bush honoring him for his commitment and contribution to improving the quality of life in his community. What strikes me most is the story of John G.

Programming Your Mind For Success · SUNDAY 3rd August· For as he (a man) thinketh in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7). The lack, poverty, sicknesses, diseases, and wickedness in the world aren’t essentially the reasons most people suffer. The greater problem has to do with their minds; their thinking. Their minds have to be reprogrammed for success, with God’s Word. Until that happens, it makes no difference where you place them, where they go, and what happens to them; they’ll keep failing. You can reprogramme your mind with information from God’s Word. For example, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." This is information from the Word for you to think upon. You’re not the same old person that hitherto experienced failure, stagnation etc.; that creature is dead; you’re full of success and the life of God! Perhaps you were told that you were born with an incurable disease; that’s not a factor anymore, because you have the life of God in you now. No sickness, disease, or infirmity can thrive in your body. Your way of thinking has changed; you have new information; spiritual information from God’s Word that has reprogrammed your way of thinking, and your life is thus transformed. When your mind is programmed for success, you don’t join others to complain of hard times. Instead, you think of yourself as a success, and a light in a dark world, irrespective of the surrounding situation. It doesn’t matter how bad the economy of the country where you live might get; you’re the seed of Abraham. Your prosperity isn’t predicated on the economy of your country. Let this be your thinking. Prayer... Dear Father, I thank you for the transforming power of your Word in my life. As I renew my mind daily with your Word, I’m metamorphosed into higher realms of glory, where I triumph gloriously over circumstances, established by grace in righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Discipline Your Mind for Success-SATURDAY, 2nd August Train me, GOD, to walk straight; then I'll follow your true path. Put me together, one heart and mind; then, undivided, I’ll worship in joyful fear (Psalms 86:11 MSG). When you want to chart a new course, create new vistas, attain a new level of prosperity, or set new goals for growth, you have to learn to use your mind. Your mind is a tool that can be disciplined. You can teach it to focus in one direction,instead of vacillating in thoughts. This way, you’ll be able to use your mind to prepare your heart to accomplish greater things. Isaiah 26:3 says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” By staying your mind on the Lord, you’re disciplining your mind to focus on the Word of God concerning you and what you're doing. The result is that you’ll experience the extraordinary peace of God that gives rest and prosperity. Take your mind away from anything and everything that distracts, and focus your attention on God. Choose to only be around those who love the Lord, and discuss only with those who’ll inspire you. Keep away from people who’ll deflate your faith, and try to talk you out of what you want to achieve. Set time aside for study and meditation on the Word. To stay your mind on God, you have to stay your mind on His Word. Joshua 1:8 says, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” In addition, speak in other tongues at every opportunity you have to be alone because you’re about something; you want to birth new visions and ideas. Keep at it, and soon enough, you'd receive the note of victory in your spirit and know that everything is settled, “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”. (Philippians 4:7). Prayer. .. Dear Father in the Name of the Lord Jesus, I thank you for the opportunity to hear and receive your Word. I’m guided aright and know what to do at any point in time. My mind is stayed on your Word because I trust you; therefore, my peace is boundless. Amen. Further Study: Proverbs 1:33(CEV) But if you listen to me,you will be safe and secure without fear of disaster.” Hebrews 12:2(CEV) We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne!

Life Through Jesus Christ · FRIDAY 1st August · And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son (1 John 5:11). If you’re born again you have the God-life in you; this is a statement of fact; God has set His seal to this. Notice the tenses in our opening verse: "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life…." He isn’t trying to, hoping to or planning to; He’s already done it. You have eternal life now. This life isn’t the human life, but the God-kind of life; the essence of divinity. The Word of God is definite and emphatic as to where this life is and how to get it: it’s in Christ Jesus. Anyone who has received Christ has received the God-life. This life can’t be found in any of the religions of the world. Until you confess the Lordship of Jesus over your life, and are catapulted into the glorious realms of salvation, you don’t have the God-life. What you have is the human, biological life (Greek: psuche). This human life is subject to satanic influences, sickness, disease, and the elements of this world. However, if you have the Son, happy are you! It means you have His indestructible and incorruptible life in you. You don’t ever have to be afraid of the devil or his cohorts. The Son of God, whom you’ve received, destroyed the works of the devil in your life, family, job and physical body (I John 3:8 ). He paralyzed Satan, rendered him helpless, and gave you a life that’s superior to him. Meditate on this truth. Having received Christ, you’ve received the Light of life; the darkness is gone forever. Your life is now supernatural; therefore, rule over circumstances. Walk tall. Talk bold. Reign as a king in life: "For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:17). Prayer... Dear Father, I thank you for imparting the divine life into my spirit through your Son Jesus Christ. That life in me destroys, paralyzes, and renders ineffective the works of the devil and his attempts in my life, family, finances, and business. Thank you for making me the dispenser of your glory, wisdom, grace, and excellence, in Jesus’ Name. Amen Further Study: 1 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 1 year Bible reading plan: Romans 6:1-14 Psalms 56-59 2 year Bible reading plan: Ephesians 5:1-8 Isaiah 52 |
