When would atheists stop seeing Christianity as the direct opposite of Atheism? During Salah u guys don't ask muslims where is the spirit of islam and insult islamic governing bodies and all.or even during KwanZa celebration in SA

Mintayo: I was watching Peace TV last week,i was listening to this islamic scholar,Dr Zaik Naik(not sure of the spelling), i was shocked to hear the LIES he was spewing about christains-the same LIES all muslims including those on NL spew out.
He was trying to put mohammed in d Bible,also talking about Jesus when He said He is "the way,the truth and the Life"...I realized that they all say and speak the same LIES , [size=32pt] satan is really doing a fine job on this guys [/size] the Dr was saying it without even realizing that what He was saying doesnt make any sense!
And the annoying part,he was talking like a man who has authority over the Bible,like he knows more than the christains...smh
Another thing about muslims is that,when they ask a question like the Op,they didnt ask to seek the truth, because as long as the answer you give them doesn't correlate with the answer they have in mind(which is a wrong answer and a LIE anyways),they start crying foul...
So sometimes, the best thing is to ignore them,like the Op...
May God help them.

Falls off palm wine tree...laughing. but you have a valid point.

His Partners In Soul Winning · Saturday, December 21st · 

Pastor Anita

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine (2 Timothy 4:2).

The Lord Jesus, talking about His mission in Luke 19:10 declared, "…the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." This statement clearly underlines how passionate the Master was about soul winning. He considered it much more important than physical food when He said to His disciples, "…My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work" (John 4:34).

In Matthew 9:38, the Lord, once again, conveyed the urgency and importance of soul winning to His disciples by saying, "Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." He finished His work here on earth and went to heaven, but before His departure, He charged the Church to, "…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15). We’re God’s co-labourers today in the ministry of soul winning (1 Corinthians 3:9).

The responsibility of preaching the Gospel has been passed on to us. Our theme verse says, "Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season…," in other words, preach the Gospel when you feel like it, and when you don’t. It’s your life vocation. You practise it, whether or not you feel like doing it. You’re to partner with the Lord in winning others, not only because it’s our vocation, but because you’re persuaded by the love of Christ.

Don’t say, "Well, if the anointing comes on me, I’ll preach." That’s wrong, because we don’t need any more anointing to preach the Gospel than we did when we received the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:8: "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."

God has already sent and anointed you to preach the Gospel; don’t wait for another sign or instruction.

Prayer..
  Dear Father, thank you for making me a partner with you in soul winning; I’ve set my heart to be faithful to the call of leading the unsaved in my world to Christ. I thank you for the increased grace you’ve granted me to be fruitful in this endeavour, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.f u r t h e r s t u d y: 1 Corinthians 3:9; 2 Corinthians 5:18-20

BTW, Jesus said GO preach the gospel to ALL CREATURE, not go preach the gospel to all Christians... they are not been castigated, notby me or by the op by anyway, the world has different beliefs n opinion that are not Christ's, that's why Jesus sent us out in the first place.

Mod, pls move this back to religion section where it started and should remain

[quote author=Big.game]Op am asking, as there as gay people in the world and our country, what should be done to curb the act? [/quote]That's why Jesus asked us to GO and preach the gospel to EVERY CREATURE...start now if u haven't

Or an atheistic nation with science evolution books and philosophical books as constitution. In case you dont know, america's constitution which nigeria adopted was coined outta the bible... google it. Over time, they had to make it flexible...for democracy to prevail.

gothrones: How is it possible for something that God did not design to occur? You do understand that nothing can occur without the permission of God? His will is always done! So if there are gay people, it is because God wants them to be.

So if u created a car to run at 156kmper hour on diesel, and some folks decided to use kerosene in the car, not for any special reason, but just to know what you the designer would do about it, even after u expressly stated it in the users manual DIESEL ONLY. You also stated as the designer of the car, that such car would be destroyed, but the owner thinks otherwise.... would u conclude that the using of kerosene was with the permission of the designer? Was your will as a designer done? So if people take 6 tablets of a drug instead of 2 prescribed by thr doctor, does it mean because there are drug addict, doctors wanted them to be?

gothrones: If common sense is not common, then it wouldn't be called common sense. You are a person.

I'd ask santa to send u any common sense text book he can find, as Christmas gifts.... (notice the plural)

God bless you bro!

Hezron Lorraine: Why on earth do christians try so hard blaming the devil for so many things on earth.Who told you that the devil is behind gay marriage world-wide?The devil has little or no impact with the same-sex marriage revival around the globe.

Have u EVER seen a male goat chase another male goat for sexual satisfaction?.... even if it's testosterone level was uncontrollable?

If u haven't seen any, even in chickens or rats, it implies that God, the creator, never included that in the design of creatures...including man. Now, somebody must have imputed tgat in the hearts of men... now answer this question for a chance to win 5million naira, u have 50 50, phone kay or ask the audience

Who imputed the sexual perversion of man going after man, or man going after animals in the heart of men, if God the creatot never did so? For if he did, he'd have created anothrr man for adam instead of eve.

(A) Satan
(B) big bang
(C) evolution
(D) santa

Goodluck

gothrones: So this is what you are doing? How can you call yourself a Christian and watch stuff like that. I have always contemplated that folks like you are secretly gay, for you are too obsessed with things that do not concern you.

What is it in his post that really implies that he watched pornnn?

Did u ever think the possibilities of

1. Maybe the ladies confessed about it
2. Maybe the rich fellow got busted for it, n was being interrogated?
3. What if he read a report about such incident?

If I said there is a pornnn video where people have sexx with dead peoole and they enjoy it, and some rich folk paid guys to have sex with dead ladies, would you readily conclude that I watch porrrn videos.... sick porrn videos at that?

So, because he's concerned about sexual perversion in humanity as regards the bible, that makes hima secret gay man?

There’s More In God · Friday, December 20th · 

Pastor Chris

Our Lord is great, with limitless strength; we’ll never comprehend what he knows and does (Psalm 147:5 MSG).

Some Christians have reached the point where their lives have become boring and they’re wondering, "What more is there in God?" They’ve become so used to the worship and other activities in church; even God’s Word has become common to them; what a sad situation to be in!

What they haven’t understood is that it’s not just about the activities that take place in church; it’s about the glory that comes out of those activities. When you understand what comes out from the Spirit, you’ll never be bored; you’d never ask, "What’s more?" People become tired or uninspired by the things of God because they’re carnally minded; just like the children of Israel that got fed up with the manna that was coming out of heaven, and started clamouring for meat!

Walking with the Lord is a journey of endless glory; there’s always more to desire and enjoy in Him. The more He reveals Himself to you, the more hungry you are for Him. Imagine Moses: after he had walked with the Lord for so long, and the Lord had done so many wonderful things in his presence and through him, he still wanted more. He said, "Lord, show me your glory" (Exodus 33:18); because he knew there was more.

Our God is so great; there’s no end to the greatness and awesomeness of His Majesty. Keep growing in the things of the Spirit; keep learning the Word, with an unquenchable desire to know Him more and have His glory revealed in your life. Remember, if you seek Him, you’d find Him (Matthew 7:7); if you hunger and thirst for His righteousness, you’ll be filled (Matthew 5:6).

Prayer ..
Dear Father, I thank you for granting me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you. I’m increasing more and more in knowledge and in judgment, able to discern and function at all times in the centre of your will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Let Christ Be Revealed In You · Thursday, December 19th ·

Pastor Chris

For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:18-19).


When the Lord Jesus walked the earth, He was one hundred percent man and one hundred percent God. He manifested the divine life to the people of His day, and the supernatural was His daily walk. As Christians, we’re partakers of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). Therefore, as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). We’re the offspring of the Word of God (James 1:18), and like Him, we’re one hundred percent human and one hundred percent divine.

You’re therefore required to give expression to the divine life in you. Romans 6:16 says, "Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" If a Christian finds himself struggling with one bad habit or the other, the problem is that he allows his body dictate to him, instead of yielding to the Word of God. The more the Word gains the ascendancy over you, the more the God-life will be revealed in you to live the supernatural life.

Conversely, the more you allow the senses gain the mastery, the more the human life will be revealed in you, and you’ll lead an ordinary life. This explains why some Christians suffer, get sick, and live very uninspiring lives; it’s because they unwittingly made a choice to live life from the human plane. But there’s a higher plane; a higher life in Christ, where your humanity is swallowed up in His divinity. John 3:30 says, "He must increase, but I must decrease."

Let Christ increase in you. Christ in you is the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27); let Him talk through you; let Him see through your eyes and work with your hands; let Christ show up in your life! Every time you respond to situations, let it be Christ in you responding. Every time you talk, let it be Christ talking in you!

Prayer..

Dear Father, I thank you for the power of your Word in my life, to build in me an excellent character and the mindset of a champion. My spirit, soul, and body are completely yielded to you, to be dominated and transformed by your Word, and my profiting is appearing to all, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Creating Your Victorious And Prosperous Future · Wednesday, December 18th ·

Pastor Anita

…If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body…the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature… (James 3:2-6).


Many people will readily pay huge sums of money to get solutions to their problems, unaware that the solution is just below their nose; it’s in their mouth. If you can get a grip on the words that come out of your mouth, you can chart your course for a victorious life in Christ Jesus.

If you’re faced with a challenge that seems insurmountable, the words of Jesus in Mark 11:23 is the solution you need. It says, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." Recall how the tongue is described in our opening text; it’s called a fire. That means with your faith-filled words, you burn up every anomaly—everything in your life and in your future that isn’t consistent with the perfect will of God.

A Christian whose life is overwhelmed with lack, for example, is certainly having a harvest of his negative confessions. However, he can change the tide by beginning to speak as the seed of Abraham, declaring his prosperity and abundance in Christ.

Your words rule your life. Proverbs 18:20 says, "A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled." It couldn’t get any clearer than this! The responsibility is yours to create your own victorious, prosperous, and exciting life, from glory to glory by speaking creative words of faith.

Confession..

The Word of faith is in my heart and in my mouth today; and as I speak it forth, mountains are moved, hills are levelled, and the crooked paths are made straight before me. Nothing is impossible to me because the greater One lives in me, and by His power working in, and through me, I’m creating my victorious and prosperous life, from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

You Can Recover Yourself · Tuesday, December 17th · 

Pastor Chris

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will (2 Timothy 2:25-26).

The word "recover" above is the Greek "ananepho," an interesting word. Figuratively, it means to become "sober again," to "recover self" or "regain (one’s) senses." It somewhat describes a situation where one is awakened from a drunken state into soberness: Picture someone who’s been drunk, and generally acting and talking in an indecorous manner. After a while, the effect of the alcohol wears off and he suddenly comes back to his senses, and even apologizes for being drunk and acting in an undignified manner. What happened? The fellow "recovered" himself. A similar ‘recovery’ occurs when one has been drugged to sleep and the effect of the drug finally wanes.

Taking the time and patience to teach such people the Word will help them recover themselves out of the snare of the devil. You can recover yourself from every attack or misfortune the adversary throws at you. You can come out of that trap of your own volition without anyone having to pray for your "deliverance." Whenever Satan tries to ensnare you: just walk out!"

Deliverance" meetings shouldn’t be for Christians, but for sinners, because Christians are deliverers: "And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’S" (Obadiah 1:21). We’re the ones the Spirit of God uses to deliver men and women around the world. If for any reason, a Christian finds himself under demonic oppression, he can come out of the devil’s hold anytime he chooses. He can walk out of sickness, disease, and fear, without having to cry for help. How? You might want to ask.

It’s simple; just act on the Word. Say "Yes" to your new identity in Christ Jesus and call yourself what God calls you. If you’ve been living in fear, just say, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I reject fear; for the Lord has not given me the spirit of fear, but of love, power, and a sound mind!"

Confession..
  I live by the Word of God and so I live in safety. I have the Spirit of love, power, and a sound mind! Christ lives in me; He’s my life and my righteousness; He has set me on the path of life, to walk in the way of glory, honour and victory. Glory to God!

Knowing The Love Of Christ... · Monday, December 16th ·

Pastor Chris

…That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:14-19).


I want you to observe the Apostle Paul’s choice of words carefully; he said, "And to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge." How can you "know" something that "surpasses knowledge?" It sounds superfluous, but it’s a valid statement. There’re two words to mark in that nineteenth verse: "know" and "knowledge." The Greek word translated "know" is "ginosko," while "knowledge" is "gnosis."

"Ginosko" means knowledge and acquaintance, usually by perception or revelation. "Gnosis," on the other hand, refers to knowledge based on science or intellectual activity; abstract knowledge that’s gained from the physical senses. However, the love of Christ is beyond this kind of knowledge; it’s beyond "gnosis."

Putting both together, our opening verse should read, "And to ginosko the love of Christ, which surpasses gnosis." That means we’re to have a revelation of the love of Christ, and not mere intellectual knowledge; we’re to function in the love of Christ beyond our senses and human understanding of love. The natural man (the man that’s not born again), can’t express the love of Christ because he doesn’t have God’s nature of love. This is the reason natural human love, at its best, is fickle and selfish.

However, being born again, you have God’s nature of love; the revelation knowledge of His love is in your spirit. It’s therefore natural for you to express the love of Christ.

Prayer..
  Dear Father, I thank you for granting me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you, and for imparting my spirit with your love-nature. I express divine love towards everyone that I meet, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

quivah: I smh for gombs!!!
Dude, peter wasn't bodyguarding Jesus.. he was there and felt the need to defend his master!
I used an analogy in my first post.. go check it out and tell me how that makes you a BG please!

Yeah! Jesus wasnt into politics [size=16pt] but mind you,wasn't Jesus involved WITH the government of the time then? [/size]

Well I shouldn't be surprised,ain't mog really involved IN politics today?!

OK,if the BG is good to go to protect the body... who would protect the spiritual? Sango,esu?

Seriously u are joking!

CHaaaaaaaaaai
Jesus was involved with the Roman Government?.. Mo gbe o

If the disciples were purely for a spiritual purpose, to spread the message of Jesus there is no reason why they shouldn't have been female disciples. No? Or u wanna say Jesus was discriminatory?


Peter once said to Jesus when Jesus said He was going to die.. Peter said not on his watch, not while he is alive... He was immediately rebuked by Jesus

Why did peter say that? We both know Peter didn't mean he was gonna die in Jesus' place. It points to the fact that Peter don tey wen him dey waka around with him sword. The man peter knows the jews had made attempts on Jesus' life.


Anyways, I guess my point is made, and no be by force for folks to accept it.


Happy thanksgiving y'all.

*unfollows thread

@quivah

Why was peter with a sword?

When folks tried to kill Jesus, who smuggled him outta the crowd and averted the intended murder?

Was Jesus in a shady business or a politician when folks wanna take his life?

Who is the pope running from that he has military guards (special ones from switzerland)?

Answer these questions, if u can't I'd know u have a feverish need for a lexis and structure text book...

Santa would get u one

quivah: 1... to protect himself and family.. or he just wants privacy
2.. isn't it weird sleeping with doors opened? You want goats,dogs to start having free access in your home?
However if locked,would that stop armed robbers from coming in?!
3.. lol ask those who does that..
4.. as you put it, in church! Yeah ! That's right. . After its too conceal the church properties from being stolen.. and some other things.. and also point no2 applies!
5.. lol ! God created herbs for our health.. so nothing bad..

But in this case of the op... the body guards protect the man alone! For what?! Isn't that selfishnes!

Hypocrisy... Why don't he just wait for God to protect him? If u as a person who call herself a christian can confidently that MOGs are wrong n 'shameless' for using guards and even dare ask if Jesus was alive today whether he would wanna use bodyguards...the pope has MILITARY guards, not because he is scared or that God can't save him... But because ECC 10v10 says ...Wisdom is profitable to direct. Do you know how many folks would wanna assasinate the pope? Talk more of Jesus if he were in our day.

Answer this, would God throw an MOG to hell for having a body guard? Would God judge him for being security conscious?

It is all on the level of faith of an MOG... Just like divine health is on level of ones faith, using drugs wen one is sick does not make the assurance of God that we'd be in perfect health null and void.


Happy sunday... I don unfollow una thread

Spotless180: this one is also simple. The answer is option B.

God bless u jare

Dannylux: Jesus hadn't no idea Peter was carrying any knife at that moment, so it'd be inappropriate to tag him a bodyguard or whatever is in your options.

He was only looking at for him notwithstanding Jesus never wanted that!

Jesus Never Knew he was with a sword? Do u know Jesus at all?? This was the man that told d samaritan woman her life history without even knowing her in person from anywhere

Spotless180: Why will a christian fence his or her house?
Why would a christian sleep at night without leaving his or her door opened?
Why should christian protect offering and tithe box?
[size=16pt] Why do they put doors in church? [/size]
Why would a christian take drugs when sick?

Bros thank you, no mind some folks....

Spotless180: the answer is option D. Simple i think.

Correct. You have 5 million naira, and complete life line. The next quetion is for 10 million

Would it be wrong for a pastor or pope or minister of the gospel to use bodyguards if he deems it so?

(A) yes, it is
(B) no, it isn't
(C) umm, I'm not sure
(D) I think if criminals can use body guards, why not MOGs? *just thinking out loud o
(E) I'd walk away with my N5million

Goodluck

quivah: Did Jesus arranged men in the force to do that? Or trained,build men? To protect him in the first instance?! Shebi he know what as gon happen...

Peter was a disciple!!! He was there while Jesus was being arrested and the played defense!! Not a body guard...


If you as an apprentice, wouldn't you pick up something to defend ya oga if area boys were fighting him? Does that make you his body guard?!!


Bodyguards main job is to protect their bosses... was that Peter's main work to Jesus?

With this,i say your question is wack!


Anyways,your option d tho!

He was there as a disciple who's ready to defend his master!!.. not protect him in the literal meaning of a bodyguard..

You either choose an option or just roll over. Thank for your time tho.. let me ask another question

Ms quivah, the next question is for 10million naira, you have 50 50, phone frosbel or ask the audience.

Why was Peter, James and John with Jesus almost ALL the time?

(A) they were the smartest (na dem go school pass)
(B) they were the holiest (them no be like mattew that ws once a tax collector)
(C) they were the coolest disciples to b with (they had swag n were so cute)
(D) they could pray harder than the rest (emm, na dem sleep pass for the garden sha, but lets overlook that one)
(E) they were guarding him (they were ex fisher men ho were obviously Muscular)

Goodluck.

The Word Of Your "Testimony" · Sunday, December 15th ·

Pastor Anita

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death (Revelations 12:11).

In just about two weeks, it’ll be 2014, and if you reminisce on the outgoing year you’ll realize that there’s so much to thank the Lord for. Some might say, "Well, I don’t think I have anything to thank God for this year; I don’t have any testimony." That’s because they really don’t know what a real testimony is in Christ Jesus. A testimony means a record or a witness. It’s a declaration of faith, or a declaration of the Word. You should, therefore, be thankful for the Word that God gave you to live by.

Revelations 12:10 refers to the devil as the accuser of God’s people. However, our opening verse says the people overcame him (the devil), by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony. Notice again how they overcame the devil. First, it says "… they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb"; that’s talking about the Gospel of Jesus Christ: His blood was shed for every one of us, and our faith in that blood is the victory. Secondly, it says "…and by the word of their testimony…." The word of your testimony is your declaration about God: your proclamation of what He did for you and in you.

What’s your testimony of Him today? He’s given you divine health, and Satan can’t dispute that. 1 Peter 2:24 says "…by whose stripes ye were healed." He’s made you an heir of the Sovereign; you were born the inheritor of all the riches and wealth of His Kingdom (Romans 8:17, 1 Corinthians 3:21). He brought you out of the miry clay, and set your feet on the rock to stay, and He put a song in your mouth to sing: a song of praise. He has made you a success and a victor; these are your testimonies. Testify of His love and grace. It means to bear witness of what He’s done for you in Christ.

Satan doesn’t want you to talk about your miracles, victories and successes. He’d rather have you believe that the supernatural victories, deliverances, miracles, and blessings you experienced this year all happened by chance. No, they didn’t; they were divinely orchestrated by God. Therefore, today, praise Him lavishly: sing aloud to Him; do Him a dance; give Him your best offering—in appreciation of His goodness and greatness in your life this year.

Confession..

What a glorious year of favour it’s been: a year filled with God’s goodness, deliverances, provisions, mercy and innumerable blessings! Lord, I look forward to the coming year joyfully in faith, knowing you perfect all that concerns me, and I’ll experience greater victories, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

1 Corinthians 2 TLB

14 But the man who isn’t a Christian can’t understand and can’t accept these thoughts from God, which the Holy Spirit teaches us. They sound foolish to him because only those who have the Holy Spirit within them can understand what the Holy Spirit means. [size=16pt] Others just can’t take it in. [/size] 15 But the spiritual man has insight into everything, and that bothers and baffles the man of the world, who can’t understand him at all.  16 How could he? For certainly he has never been one to know the Lord’s thoughts, or to discuss them with him, or to move the hands of God by prayer. [size=16pt] But, strange as it seems, we Christians actually do have within us a portion of the very thoughts and mind of Christ. [/size]

plaetton: Joagbaje,
This type of nonsense you peddle here is a public health hazard, and you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to use your trash religion to undermine the public perception of HIV/AIDS and its cure.

With this illusion of cure, scores of people might be infected because of the religious conmen like you.


Why don't you inject yourself with HIV virus and then show us the miracle cure.
Or, why don't you let the supposedly cured person marry your sister, that way you have have time enough to confirm your miracle cure?

Folks fulfilling scriptures..... I'm not surprised.
