Hello Candour

Been a while, hope all is well?

How about Emmanuel Bassey? He's been awfully scarce, do you knw his whereabouts or any reason for his absence?

coolmoon500: As we get ready to start the new year, please let us not rob God of Tithe. God is not stupid for giving us that rule. He is a Faithful God.
Pay your Tithe and test if your Heavens would not be open.

there are many defaulters on this principle, its hard, but again takes discipline and focus.

This is God we are talking about here, not man. He is not a Liar, The one who watches over Israel neither sleeps nor slumbers. Try it, remain faithful and see for yourself.

My dear! We've told em the above to no avail...just leave them be


God bless u

frosbel: It is not Gods command, it is a command from wolves and hirelings in sheep's clothing.

Then God now sent you to liberate or warn his flock against tithing? Right?

frosbel: Mate , I have a great Job in a great place, I will not donate my hard earned money to pimps in the pulpit.

Fine. But why not leave those 'who want to donate. Their hard earned money to pimps in the pulpit' alone?

Y not?

frosbel: Poverty ?

I am enjoying the riches from my hard work and not misappropriating funds from the poor, desperate and widows through the Tithe LIE.

No problem with being rich but do it on your own sweat.

Hard work don't make one rich..if it did truck pushers would be the richest folks.


And emm... You sounding desperate lately o!

Pastor Kun: And this is a statement from a supposed Christian pastor SMH

Have you weighed your words? Words From a supposedd christan brother?

BTW, nothing wrng with his words.. Someone made a choice and Jo expounded it (made it clearer)

Kunle...no one is a tithe collector...tithes are God's command.


When would you stop saying Jo hasn't a job? Why would always go personal in slanderous remarks n unfounded accusation?

Its like me saying you are a chronic agbero or street urchin who luckily stumbled on an internet enabled device. That would be basic lie, won't it?

So, I saw Berem wailing in serious confusion. She said tis nt because APC/Ngige lost, but because Tinubu asked her to pay back all the dime he spent in the Kitchen whr she cooked the wrong soup Ngige ate!


Meanwhile, Ngige is now officially a successful election looser.

And Tinubu can sight 2015 from yonder...for when the Lord shall give GEJ victory, they shall be like them that dream.

But 2billion?...why him no go strt correct business?

frosbel: ^^^

I wonder how GOD can lead a person into all the false doctrines you keep propagating here. Sorry God does not lead into error.

You may have a zeal for God but be deceived at the same time , check up.

Your opinion doesn't matter... God's does!...

Alwaystrue: @vickyo,
Alwaystrue more like Always the Word study, that is why it will not be easy to be deceived as the bible says even the very elect may be deceived. It is perilirous times so if you study 2 Tim. 3, you get some idea of what men who will become lovers of themselves will be exibit, as very evidently displayed in the world today.
I enjoin you to like David, hide the word in your heart. If you read Psalms, you will understand why David was truly a man after God's own heart.
Thanks I am honoured.



@Gombs,
When we keep looking into the mirror of the word, we tend to see where we need to clean up in our lives. Thanks for that.
Hmmmmn on the teacher, even if I did not know it, people are beginning to say so.
Let's keep studying to show ourselves approved of God.

You shd knw it...the Spirit of God wud communicate that to you


When I knew I was one, I geared up...and ever since God laid in my heart, I studied even more voraciously, mostly unknowingly. The more I did, the more I saw why we need preach this gospel to all creature.


I charge you to walk in that office and never backdown, never be ashamed to show yourself approved before God, and as you teach online and offline you will demonstrate the character of His Spirit. I know how many lives I've changed from teaching, and I'm still on it.

You too have and can do more.

Remember you are the light of your world. SHiNE like crazy. Illuminate dark places wth the gospel of Christ, liberate men from the stronghold of religion and ignorance.

God bless you.

I tire for frosbel

scipher: I had this argument with my girlfriend yesterday and I felt I should extend this topic to this forum to get peoples views.

Firstly, I believe all the events recorded in the Bible are not detailed, and they're only meant to shape us spiritually and draw us closer to God.

So, my question is, do you think God created man from sand as the Bible says, or God created blueprints that inspired evolution?

Gen 2
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.


What don't you understand here?

Where did your idea of 'blueprint that inspired evolution' crawl up from?

Am I FTC?

1st day of the last month of the year 2013!

Abeg make una follow me clap for Jesus joor

I'd preach 2 Corinth 5:17, 18


I could preach a whole month on these verses alone

Not sure you in in the right section! This should be in General.


@Op, No! Not all lawyers are liars!

vickyO: Are you a Pastor or Teacher in the church?

Nah!...just Spirit filled. That's what you look like when you look in God's mirror( His Word)...you become the word.

These are evident from arduous study of and continuous feeding on the word

@Alwaystrue, you should know you are in the office of a teacher... Eph 4:11. Keep shining!

Bidam: of cos i have power. Christ is in me.

Flesh and blood did not reveal the above to u, but my father n heaven!

They hardly move me


But if you mean celebs like Sinach, Joe Praise, frank Edwards, they thrill me....but not sure I'd be crazed abt snapping with them

Bidam:

According to them every single ministers in ages past from luther,spurgeon, hagin,idahosa to even our dear own kumuyi have errors.

Says a lot about their 'Christ-like nature'... JW folks won't just stop attacking anything or anyone who doesn't use the NWT.
Those MOGs above are well seasoned in the word. Esp Hagin and idahosa

They might have made mistakes,but saying they are the ones that caused damage is taking it a little too far.

you just gave them the avenue to derail this thread

Paul had made his mark by broadcasting Jesus to so many nations via satellite,places like Russia, china,India and some Islamic countries where opposition to the gospel is stiff and persecutions can best be imagined have been touched by this ministry.Lets give honour instead of unwarranted criticism.

They won't notice that.... They sure can't! Rather some choose to preach that only 1440 or so folks will go to heaven.

Makes me wonder whether Jesus came for a select few.

Atleast he was broadcasting Jesus,he would have broadcasted english premier league,aljeezera,CNN and other TV shows that are unedifying with his money but no he didn't. May his soul rest in peace.Amen.

They won't see that o!


@OP...he's gone to be with the Lord, oya frosbel faint!

Trust In His Faithfulness! · Sunday, December 1st ·

Pastor Chris

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised; ) (Hebrews 10:23).


The Lord Jesus, reflecting on the crises of these last days warned that, "…because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold" (Matthew 24:12).

Indeed, many are beginning to lose hope, wondering if God still cares and protects. Of course, He still cares for, and protects, His children!

Psalm 91:3-8 represents God’s sovereign declaration with regard to His commitment to protect and take care of you—even in the midst of all the troubles and crises in the world! It says, "Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee…." How comforting this is!

Trust His Word. You’re shielded, and divinely protected against the onslaught of the enemy: whether at night, or in the day, the Lord protects and takes care of you. Your faith response, therefore, should be, "The Lord is in me, with me, and for me; therefore, I refuse to fear!"

No matter how adverse or severe the situation or the circumstances around you might be, refuse to let your heart be troubled! Keep your focus on God’s Word. He said in Isaiah 43:2, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee." Trust and hold on to His Word, for therein is your safety.

Confession  My trust is in the Lord my God; He’s my shield and buckler, my strength, and safety! He’s my refuge and strong tower; I’m strong in Him; rooted and grounded in His love, and flourishing in every area of my life. Glory to God!

Living In The Name Of Jesus · Saturday, November
30th ·

Pastor Chris

For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring (Acts 17:28).

The Bible says, "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him" (Colossians 3:17). That’s the way to live a supernatural life. True Christianity is functioning in the Name of Jesus. That means you’re living for Him in His authority. How could you be defeated if you live for Him? That’ll be impossible; and so will failure and poverty.

Some people believe rightly the Name of Jesus is powerful and has all authority, but they don’t know how to function in that Name on a day-to-day basis. The Lord Jesus taught us how in John 14:12-13, where He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." Here, the Lord was teaching us to make demands in His Name.

Peter understood this, and he commanded a man who had never walked from birth to rise up and walk in the Name of Jesus (Acts 3:1-6). The Bible says, "And he (the lame man) leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God" (Acts 3:. We’re called to live in the Name of Jesus, the creator of the universe. That’s big, and nothing can compare with it. If you function in His Name, and discover there’s a tumour in your body, say, "Tumour, in the Name of Jesus, you can’t stay in this body, I command you to go!" and it’ll go.

If there’s a problem with your heart, say, "Heart, I command you to function normally in the Name of Jesus!" If your child isn’t growing right, lay your hands
on him or her, and say, "Child, grow right in the Name of Jesus, and be excellent!" If you had trouble at work, lift your hands in the presence of the Lord and say, "I command the storms in my office to calm down in the Name of Jesus!" And it will be so. Make your life
beautiful, and live triumphantly every day, by living in the Name of Jesus.

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the Name of Jesus, to use and to live by. I live in, and by, the power of that Name today; and I declare, that I’m making progress with giant strides as I fulfill the ministry and destiny that you’ve given me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

How To Give Him Glory · Friday, November 29th ·

Pastor Chris

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him (John 2:11).


Many believe they’re giving God glory when they merely say, "Lord, I give you the glory." If truly they’re giving Him glory that way, then where is the glory? There has to be something to show for it. It’s like going to church, and saying, "Lord, I give you the offering," and you don’t put anything in the offering basket. If you picked an item in a shop and told the shopkeeper, "I give you the money," will the shopkeeper let you go just because you said, "I give you the money?" Certainly not! He’d ask you for the money. You’ll have to back up your statement with paying the required amount for the purchased item.

In the same way, much more than saying it, the way to give God glory is by doing what He asked you to do and showing the results: declaring that they were done in the Name of Jesus, according to His Word. Let’s take the Lord Jesus for an example; when He turned water into wine, the Bible says, He manifested forth His glory.

When He commanded the paralytic to rise up and walk and it happened, the people glorified God when they saw the miracle (Luke 5:26). Likewise, in the city called Nain, when He raised the only son of a widow back to life, the Bible says, "And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people" (Luke 7:16). Whenever you act on God’s Word, and it produces result, and then you go ahead to praise Him for it, or others see it and praise Him, the Lord is glorified.

That’s why He delights in answering our prayers. He loves to see us actualize our hopes and dreams, and then praise Him for it. Some people don’t know this, so they pray "religiously," not expecting to receive answers. If only they knew that the glory of God lies in answering our prayers! Have the audacity of faith to expect answers when you pray, because the Lord derives glory from answering your prayers. It brings to mind the words of Jesus in John 15:8, "Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples." His joy is for you to have a fruitful, productive, and effective walk in righteousness.

Prayer  

Dear Father, I thank you that my life is for your glory, and I show forth your virtues, excellence, perfections and beauty today. I’m prospering and making progress on all sides because you’ve ordained me to an excellent life of fruitfulness and productivity, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!

Maybe that would make you less rude and angry,

Told y'all...it's a boomerang!

Tpia, when trying to describe him, you described exactly who you see in the mirror. Yeah, that's the honest truth

Remove the PHCN Pole in your eye first before you try to remove the toothpick in his.



Insults don't make you any less bitter my friend, nor does it make you smarter or civil. Anyways, I know your full names o!



NB: I abhor any thought to have a chat with you...what would we chat about? Sadomasochism? Thanks but no thanks

Umm in case you don't know the Definition of SADOMASOCHISM
it is the derivation of pleasure from the infliction
of physical or mental pain either on others or
on oneself


And to think you were here crying foul when @polio insulted you and his insults...he gave you a hard time you had to open a thread for him and complained to mods and seun. Yet you insult others at will and think it's ok..because you are tpia? Even on the below thread you still insulted people while protesting another's insults

And below you are calling someone else "bitter, depressed, lonely piece of crap. i pity you."...like a NLder replied, "what an irony"

He Gives More Ability! · Thursday, November 28th ·

Pastor Chris

A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength (Proverbs 24:5).


As someone once said, "All you can do is all you can do." You can’t do more than you can do. Some people have the ability to run a business that handles money in multiplied millions. Some others can run businesses that handle hundreds of thousands, while some can only handle a few thousands. Even if you gave the latter group millions of dollars to manage, they wouldn’t be able to do much with it, because they’re not graced to handle that much.

In the areas of leadership also, some people can only run their own biological families successfully; outside of that, they can’t lead anyone else. Some can lead a whole city, or even a whole nation; it all depends on the ability that God gives you. However, when He wants to upgrade your life, increase your sphere of influence and the responsibility that He’s given to you, He increases your ability. James 4:6 says "But he giveth more grace…."

If you desire more grace or ability today, God is more than willing to increase it. When God increases your ability, you’ll suddenly discover that you’re able to do more than you used to do; you’ll become more efficient. With the same efforts as before, you’ll be able to produce more results! Proverbs 24:5 tells us that a man of knowledge increases ability. Thus, with knowledge, you’ll multiply your abilities; with knowledge you discover that there’s so much more you can do.

As you study the Scriptures and increase in knowledge, you’re automatically multiplying your abilities to do more, in whatever field, as you may desire. The Hebrew word translated "strength" in the opening verse is "kôach" which also means "ability" or "power." It’s the same Hebrew word translated "power" in Isaiah 40:29: "He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength." The Lord can do this for you today, if you desire it of Him.

Prayer  

Dear Father, I thank you for the knowledge of your Word in my spirit, causing me to be more effective in the works of righteousness. I’m energized to do things beyond the ordinary. I recognize the working of that power and take advantage of it in accomplishing everything I need to do, to the praise and glory of your Name, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Leave Jesus alone, you don't have to believe in Him, salvation is not compulsory. You just keep creating threads begging for folks to stop by and still ask same questions answered on other thread.

Why worry about Jesus being God's Son? You guys claim God has no 'wife' how could he have had a Son? But you same guys believed he was born of a virgin which was an impossibility, how then can't he have a Son which actually is His Words made flesh?

PM me!

God bless you.
