i remember a thread of 2011 where i prophesied about the growth of yookos and how CE would have mobile apps, mobile phones, stadia, arenas, on the go audio and video feeds on different device... today, it is a reality, as BLW has a little over 60 mobile apps across different OS platforms. The church is marching on! The church has got to carve a huge niche in the internet media world, for darker days are ahead.

i was having a quick review of the above threads, where folks out of bizarre hate and acute black bellerism bashed yookos and all related to it, either directly or indirectly...but God has the final say, and to say the least, Yookos is just 2years old (would be 3 on Dec 31st 2014). She has a very bright future, and we are gonna be needing shades to look at it.

Pastor Kun aka Kunle aka KunleOshobs didnt disappoint me though

KunleOshob: You are not exactly right, there is potentially a lot of money that could be made on social networking sites. Facebook forinstance has revenues in excess of $800 million per annum. The more members you have the greater your advertizing revenue. So basically CEC is just trying to develop a money spinning website using their church members as a starting point and marketing instruments. When you get to understand CEC well you would realize that everything they do is ultimately about making money for it's promoter.

Here is Remarks by the President in Town Hall with the Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders

"And Americans have been learning from you as well, because every interaction is a chance for Americans to see the Africa that so often is overlooked in the media -- the Africa that is innovative and growing and dynamic. And a new generation, all of you, on Facebook and Twitter, and creating new ways to connect -- like Yookos and MXit. I see some of you tweeting this town hall -- (laughter) -- although mostly I see these guys shifting into the seat over and over again so everybody can get a picture. (Laughter.) Don’t think I didn’t notice. (Laughter.) You all just -- you need to stay in your chairs. (Laughter.) Everybody thinks they’re slick. (Applause.) "


the good part of it all is my prophecy on the above threads came to past

Haters. . . Hating annoying haters. . .if Jesus or Paul were in our time,wouldn't they use a social networking site to spread the good news?. . .Twitter was limiting pastor chris' reach to the world,by slashing pastor chris' followers,he strived to get yookos working,and all some irky imps could write here is that he's generating funds for himself.you.all could as well say the vatican sells rosaries,books,oil,etc so as to enrich the pope.i still ask o. . . .Wetin pastor Chris do una o?
instead of being happy an african ( or better still a church)achieved such feat,(including launching of satellites), you all just come around here and moan and squeal and complain, .use the time you waste here and think how you can better yourself, you should be happy he is a record breaker,3million followers in 2months,(i bet justin beiber+lady gaga+obama all combined cant achieve such in such time span),. . .You know what?keep hating,you'd soon see christ embassy mobile app,and mobile phones,and stadia and arenas,and on-the-go audio and video messages,live on your mobile, why?. . .Because one thing i know with Christ Embassy. . . That is "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE" in JESUS' name. . . Dont worry,small time now other church would pick up the idea . . . Mark my wrtings. . . You no understand?. . . Pastor Chris is far ahead.

The Virtues Of Faith, Hope, And Love . Thursday, July 31st .

And now abideth faith, hope, charity (love) these three; but the greatest of these is charity (1 Corinthians 13:13).

Faith, hope and love, are three important principles revealed to us in the Word. All three of them work together, but love is revealed as the greatest of the three. Anyone who comes to Christ immediately learns the value of faith, because faith is imparted to your spirit when you hear the Gospel. With that faith, you receive the Holy Spirit, and begin to walk in newness of life.

As you mature spiritually, you learn something about hope. Hope ministers patience. The more you grow in the things of God, the more you realize that though your faith can do anything, some things have to wait. At this stage, you start learning how to trust God.

Trust is the mixture of faith and hope. When the Bible says Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness, he trusted Jehovah with his life.

The reason love is the greatest is that love encapsulates both faith and hope. When you walk in love, you walk in faith and hope. To walk in the greater levels of the anointing of God’s Spirit, you'd have to understand the power of God’s love, and walk in it.

The Lord Jesus explained something beautiful about love in Matthew 22:35-38, when a certain lawyer, wanting to test Him, asked, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” Jesus answered him thus, “…Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment” (ASV). If you ask people to list the Ten Commandments, they’ll most certainly not start with this. They’d say, “Thou shall worship no other God before me.” But Jesus brought love before worship. He knows that if you’d love Him, you’d worship Him.

It’s not so much what your faith or hope can do; God is more concerned about what your love can do. Go beyond faith and hope, and function in the arena of love, where your words and actions are motivated only by love.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I thank you for filling my heart with your love by the Holy Spirit. This love overwhelms me today, and many experience the joy and genuineness of your love-power through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Powerful, Loving, And Sound · WEDNESDAY 30th July · 

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

As Christians, we have an extraordinary amplitude of comprehension because the wisdom of God is in our spirits. Our minds are anointed to produce excellence. We’ve also been anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, and the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts (Romans 5:5). All these are by the Holy Spirit. He has made you powerful, loving and sound. What an excellent life!

Some people are powerful, but not loving. For us Christians, these three qualities are complete. Acts 1:8 says, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…." Every Christian who has received the Holy Spirit has received power, because the Holy Spirit is the power of God. 1 John 4:4 says, "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." The One who resides in you is greater and more powerful than all the forces in the world! Therefore, be bold to say, "…truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD…" (Micah 3:8 ).

The same Holy Spirit has caused the love of God to be shed abroad in your heart. It’s natural for you to walk in love, because love is the life of the new creation. The Bible says God is love (1 John 4:8 ); and as He is, so are you (1 John 4:17).

Declare always that you’re full of power, love, and have a sound mind; and use your sound mind for excellence in all you do.

Confession ...
I’m excellent, full of power, love and the glory of God. I walk in righteousness and manifest the dominion of the Spirit. The virtues and perfections of divinity are expressed through me today, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

You Carry Heaven in You- Tuesday, July 29th

We, however, are citizens of heaven, and we eagerly wait for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven (Philippians 3:20 GNB).

When Jesus came to this world, He came with as much heaven as He could live by, and bless the world with. Let’s illustrate it this way. Imagine you’re from the United Kingdom, and you’re the Ambassador of the United Kingdom to South Africa, you’d be living in your embassy in South Africa as though you were in the United Kingdom. Everything necessary for you to live the life in the United Kingdom would be made available to you, even though the house you live in is situated in South Africa.

Now, when you come out of that house, you’ll have all the rights of a diplomat from the United Kingdom, but when you meet with the people of South Africa, you deal with them as South Africans. Nevertheless, you know that you’re from the United Kingdom. You can only help them with as much of the United Kingdom that you came to South Africa with. When you enter the Embassy of the United Kingdom, the rules of the United Kingdom apply. Yet, there is a country called the United Kingdom away from you; but you have brought as much life with you from the United Kingdom to South Africa in line with what the rules allow.

The Lord Jesus did the same thing. As much as the rules allowed, He brought heaven in Him to earth. He brought it in His heart, because the Holy Spirit lived inside Him. He came with the throne of God in His heart. No wonder He was such a blessing to the world! The same applies to the Christian.

A Christian is more than a religious person; he’s one who is born again, and by reason of the New Birth, has been translated into the Kingdom of God, and now lives in heaven, in the earth. He’s one with as much heaven as he can carry. Halleluiah. If you’re born again, you carry the throne of God in your heart. You’re thus heaven’s ambassador to this world. Therefore, preach the Gospel, heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils. Bless the world with the grace and glory of heaven that’s in you.


Prayer. ..
Dear Father, I thank you for bringing me into the glorious Kingdom of your dear Son Jesus, making me a partaker of your glory and life. I carry in my heart the divine attributes of divinity, and I bless my world today, with your grace and glory that I carry, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Born Blessed! - Monday, July 28th

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

Someone might whine, “It looks like a curse runs in my family, because no one seems to be making progress.” No; not when you’re born again. The new creation in Christ Jesus is born blessed and can’t walk under a curse.

Isaiah 10:27 declares, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” This verse doesn’t mean that the anointing breaks the yoke. Yes, the anointing breaks the yoke, but this particular portion of scripture lets us know that because of the presence of the anointing, you can’t be “yoked.” In other words, when a yoke is placed on a Christian, it necessarily breaks upon contact with the anointing, because the Christian is anointed of the Lord. Halleluiah!

Notice again what Colossians 1:12-13 says, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” You’ve been delivered from the domain of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son! That’s your present location. In Christ, you've been delivered, sanctified and blessed.

The devil will try to keep you from knowing that you’re blessed. He’ll say, “Reach out to God to bless you.” He could even make you believe you aren’t qualified to be blessed because of the wrong things you’ve done. Don’t accept his lies. God already blessed you with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. All the blessings that God could ever give came to you in Christ, in the salvation package. You’re an heir of God’s blessing; live accordingly.


Prayer. ..
Dear Father, I give you thanks for in Christ, you've blessed me with all spiritual blessings and have made me a blessing. I’m a carrier and dispenser of your innumerable blessings to a hurting and dying world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

alexleo: [b]But bro he is right in what he said about some of these pastors pls. [/b]The only thing I don't agree with him is abusing them. I ll rather blame members of such churches who are supposed to ask questions but have refused to do so in the name of touch not my annointed.

Remember miriam and Aaron, when they spoke about Moses? When God confronted them, did He ask them why they spoke about Moses the way they did? Or....

Point is, pray for ministers of the gospel, rather than slander them around, whether they be right or wrong. What rights do we have to question another man's servant? Now, look at seasoned ministers all over the world, how many times have u seen them criticising other churches just cos they don't teach what they teach?

I know some pastor's are dubious and act in really unchrist-like, but what then is my job? Go around condemning them? Where then is the love of Christ? I rather fo on my knees for the pastor's sake and the sake of his brethren. That's why we can't blame the brethren either, cos a sheep follow its shepherd, the brethren may not ask questions because they knkw not too, and when they know from the word, they usually don't question the Pastor, they simply move out, for God is not an author of confusion. I never asked questions in the Anglican church, when I got to know the Word and did wha the Bereans did, I simply left the Anglican communion, and didn't criticise them, even when glaringly, evil men are made elders and chairmen of events. I didn't go tell folks to leave there, they watched and saw something different...and God did the rest.

But if folks think they are ordained to rubbish pastors or churches all in the guise of "they preach heresies", God bear me witness...they do so at their peril. Remember David and Saul? I never question Pastors, for I don't know the calling on them. Simple. I use the recipe the bible gave for testing Spirits, and it works perfectly fine for me

Believing" And "Talking" Must Go Together · SUNDAY 27 th July· 

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:9-10).

Your mouth is your instrument to chart your course through life; it’s not just for eating and drinking. There’re people in hospitals who, as a result of sickness, are drip-fed through their veins. So even though it’s convenient to use the mouth for food, its greater function is for talking; using the power of words for creating your victorious life.

Salvation has already been made available in Christ Jesus. Titus 2:11 says, "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men." However, to catapult yourself into the realms of glory—where you enjoy the benefits of salvation—you must use your mouth rightly, for with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. This is the reason some people, even though they’ve been Christians for long, have never really enjoyed the benefits of Christianity. They haven’t acted on the Word. You’re to make confessions of the Word; that means speak the same things that God has said concerning you in His Word. That is what takes you beyond salvation, to enjoying the benefits of salvation.

You ought to always make confessions about yourself on the basis of the Word of God that you’ve believed. Until you make those confessions, your believing won’t produce results. Your believing and your confessions must go together. 2 Corinthians 4:13 says, "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak."

Those whose confessions are at variance with what they believe experience lots of ups and downs in life; no consistent victories. This is because as the Word says, a fountain doesn’t produce sweet water and bitter water at the same time (James 3:11). Speak the Word only, and always, for a life of consistent victory and excellence.

Confession...
The Word of God prevails mightily in me today, producing glory in my life. My victory is undeniable, and all the blessings and results of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are evident in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

[NLT] James 3:11 Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water?

And yet, no scripture in the Bible can be brought out by a select few, a scripture condemning tithing or those who do. But some folks make it a point of duty to fight it day and night, come rain come shine.... and freely insults tithers, pastors, churches and yet claim sainthood!

frosbel: In the early church each church branch ( based on location not denomination ) had a plural of elders or pastors or shepherds ( can be used interchangeably ) who were responsible to oversee the general well being of the sheep and guide against false doctrine.

The church model with one man as the pastor while others sit in subservient posts is totally contrary to scripture and rather emulates the CEO structure of worldly corporations. Just like the CEOs , Pastors are hugely preoccupied with collecting money from its member and balancing the books to make sure their enterprises or franchise businesses do not go under. They are therefore trying to serve God and money at the same time which we all know is next to impossible.

Any pastor who says he owns a church is a charlatan, wolf and in some cases an outright crook.

PastorKun: So in your deluded opinion the flock now belongs to the pastor I thought the flock belongs to Christ and it's true gospel that should be preach to them whether the Pastor likes it or not.

every flock has a shepherd...that is why every church has its own pastor,who christ has made a shepherd over those He has ordained the pastor to have. go to hebrews and study about followership. Paul said "follow me as i follow christ"

by the way,of all i posted,na only this one gv u migraine?

PastorKun: I am yet to see a thread were tithers are labelled as "fraudsters" what i see is people labelling tithe collectors and preachers fraudsters. Tithers are at best a victim of this fraud and we actually sympathise with them and not call then names.

Kunle, but I am a tither, so are pastors too...the term tithe collector which u coined is quite baffling, which on several occasions, u have termed me as one

Amongst so many names uv called me this one is the classic, and anytime I remember, I burst into epileptic laughter

Pathological liar + chronic tithe collector, 
https://www.nairaland.com/1454770/testimonies-why-stopped-tithing-here/2#18583236

Umm, the other classic is "you are the worse and most greedy tithe collector I've ever seen"

From ur above quote in bold, it proves u have double standards, cos instead of sympathising with me, u insult me with all form or written excreta (which at most times are hilariously funny). Now, to u, every person that supports tithing is a tithe preacher and fraudster, then like alex asked, why then are fraudsters invited to teach in the 'Grace convention'? You lot are now benevolent enough to extend 'grace' to fraudsters to teach what exactly?

Would u invite a tithe teacher to ur gathering of brethren and have him tell ur flock he believes in tithing fro ur pulpit? Just like how DB was asked to teach the flock of another pastor, and he went and preached his own message against what the preacher teaches his own flock- that’s ministerial blunder. It reminds me of what Jesus said about such people
John 10 KJV
1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

 2  But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

 3  To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

 4  And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

 5  And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

From the above fraudsters should not be invited in a covention , cos from day one, they have questionable characters

And the idea of an ecumenical thread! I laff in swahili... maybe possible if and only if some new folks man it... but Goshen ft DB in moderation? Talk about garlic and onion...imagine the combination of both!

A Reprogramming Through The Word · FRIDAY 25th July·

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God (Romans 12:2).

The Word of God gives you everything you need: health, joy, wealth, prosperity, grace, wisdom and all that the vicarious death of Christ and His triumphant resurrection delivered to us as Christians. That’s what salvation encapsulates. With the knowledge of God’s Word in your spirit, you have what it takes to create anything you want.

At the well of Samaria, Jesus encountered a woman and asked her for a drink of water. But noticing that He was a Jew, the woman told Him they had nothing in common, and for ethnic reasons declined. Then, Jesus replied, "…Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life" (John 4:13- 14). The Master knew He could give her something to quench her thirst for ever—the Word. With the Word, she would be able to create anything she desired.

Often times, when people are facing difficult situations, what they need is a Word-therapy or what I may call a "Word-diet." They’d have to listen to God’s Word and study the Scriptures over a period of time, until the Word gets rid of the wrong mind-set, and reprograms them aright for success. If that doesn’t happen, no matter what else you do for them, their situation wouldn’t change.

Sometimes, when people are sick in their bodies, the real problem is beyond the symptoms that are apparent in their physical bodies. Such pains might stem from their mind. There’s a difference between the sickness of the mind, and that of the body. So even when they’re healed in their bodies, the sickness continues, because it was really a problem of the mind. The solution is to reprogram their minds through the Word for total restoration.

Prayer...
Dear Father, your Word has come to me today to renew my mind, and programme me for the victory-life. My faith in the Word prevails today and always over all circumstances, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1. The central theme of the convention is GRACE: the grace of God revealed to all men in Jesus. Therefore all topics and subtopics must be related to grace. It doesn't have to mean that the word grace must be in the topic, it simply means that the topic must be biblical, for which God's grace is a central theme.

2. Speakers must be professing Christians.

3. Topics can also include life issues that cannot be divorced from the Christian life.

4. Suggestions are welcome but final choice of topics and speakers shall rest with the moderators though you can count on it that we shall be as fair as humanly possible.

5. This rule section shall be updated through the discuss and so suggestions for rules are welcome but will be ratified by moderators.

6. Moderators for the thread are Goshen360 and DrummaBoy.

We encourage you to make insightful suggestions and to avoid snide remarks.

Thank you.

BuddahMonk: Ibadam is an ancient city just like Alexandria in Egypt, ibadam is home to Nigeria premier and first university, Ibadam have never witness any human disaster like war, ibadam have never seen any natural disaster like earthquake, ibadam have been the capital of old western region from the when Pope was still an alterboy.

In 2099 Ibadam will not be compared with Alexandria because ibadam have grown to be the biggest and largest slum not just in Africa but the whole world, Ibadam is home to clusters of brownies, ibadam poverty definition is different from the IMF definition, World Bank is yet to reach ibadam to see that some nigerian are living below $1 per day is a glorifying the country.
Ibadam is the only place where tenants are ask if they want a house with toilet or the one without, ibadam has the highest number of houses built with red muds that is why erosion is disturbing us in the East.7

If the Waste should reduced the rate at which they use red muds in their buildings, believe me the erosion menace in the East will be moderate or a thing of the past.

PastorKun: The bloody hypocrite in you did not see were he was insulting and cursing me It is only when I respond to your fellow rogue that you can raise issues. Ole barawo buruku.

Oh dear Lord Jesus!

frosbel: This is still in my list of things to do and sooner not later. However I wanted something more concise and not too long in such a way that it hammers the point home in a few sentences. As you know people these days are very busy and always on the move, a longer tract might put them off.

Not sure what you think but I will send a much owed mail to DrummaBoy with the expectations and perhaps he can try and summarise this for a final review.

[size=16pt]Because of the busy bodies in here I suggest we do this via email.[/size]

Your feedback will also be appreciated.

Thanks.

Luk 8:16 No man (except anti tiithers) when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

Obviously, u guys have something to hide...and I smell its stench of acrid lies. Hehehehehehe, make sure u put up a picture of the tract here, else it didn't happen. It's a shame that even though folks 'oppose the truth' u have... u then have to hide it....my Jesus never did so sha.

Empowered with all Might- Thursday, July 24th

…That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness (Colossians 1:9-11).

It’s God’s will for us to be strengthened; that is, empowered with ALL might (miracle-working) power in our spirits! Ponder on that for a moment. He wants us filled, not with some of His power, but with all of it. He’s dealing here with “dunamis” (Greek); inherent power. He wants this power working in you.

This shouldn’t be difficult for any Christian to comprehend at all, because the one who’s born again, and has received the Holy Spirit, has received the power of God; for the Holy Spirit is the power of God. Acts 1:8 says, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you….” The question now is, how can you make this power you have inside you, work for you?

The first thing is to recognize that you have it in you. You don’t need to ask God for more power. The power of God is in you. That means you can’t be disadvantaged. Acknowledge this about yourself always. In Philippians 4:13, Paul didn’t say, “O God, I pray you’ll give me power to do all things.” Realizing that all the power he needed was already in him, he declared, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Secondly, know that the power you’ve received works with attitude. Yes, you’ve been empowered with all might, and can do all things, but you must balance it with good character: love, patience, joyfulness, meekness, and humility. Observe that the latter part of our opening verse says, “… Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power,unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.”

Some people endure with anger when they face certain situations. But we’re admonished to endure with joyfulness; patient and hopeful that the righteousness of God will be established in that situation. Therefore, in exercising your power to do anything, and effect changes in your life and in your environment, do so with patience, longsuffering (endurance), joyfulness, and humility.


Confession. ..
I'm strengthened with all might by God’s Spirit in my inner man. I have the right attitude of humility in the face of staggering opposition. Glory to God!

Influenced And Dominated By His Righteousness ·WEDNESDAY 23rd July · 

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:16-17).

The written Word of God is the revelation of God delivered to us, that we might be filled with the knowledge of His will, and understand the life of righteousness He’s brought us into. This means our thinking and perspective on everything and in every situation, should be from the standpoint of His righteousness. It should be God’s interpretation, and not from man’s perspective. When you have this mind-set, it makes no difference the challenges you face, what or who offends you, you’ll respond in love, conscious that you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Consider the Lord Jesus: He responded in love to His accusers and wouldn’t rail back at them. He prayed to God for them, saying, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Can you think like that about someone who has offended you? That’s how God wants you to respond to your detractors; not as a mere man but as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. He wants the Gospel of Christ, in which the righteousness of God is revealed, to be fully expressed in and through you.

Refuse to allow anything else express itself through you; not even the pervading culture of your environment. Let the culture of the Gospel of Jesus Christ be expressed through you. Have that dominion.

Imagine being in a traffic situation and a careless driver rams into your car. Would you impulsively rain invectives at him for his action? That wouldn’t be the Christ-like response. It’s important that you don’t respond to people in anger or bitterness. It doesn’t matter what someone says or does to you, let the righteousness of Christ—His love-nature influence and dominate your actions.

Confession...
 I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I walk in the revelation of God’s Word, filled with the knowledge of His will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. I’m joyful, full of love and kindness. The love and righteousness of God are expressed through me today. Halleluiah!

Boomark: What you are defending is "out of context knowledge."

Gombs that is old here, can you really defend malachi 3? Then brace yourself....

If the true context of malachi 3 is not in the tract, then we would have wasted a little effort.

Not interested bro!
