Reference: Sorry. I didn't know how to place the flat tyre thing in biblical context but literarily if I had constantly flat tyres I would consider the quality of the road I ply. If I changed an old tyre that would not give problems for a couple of years...so set it well.
grin grin

You are making a simpleton of yourself o!

Anyways, rather than having a spare tyre, you'd rather consider the quality of roads you ply or change old tire. Hmmmmm, and the above would make you not to worry abt having a flat tire?
Ok na....no p

Reference: All spirit beings are created free moral agents meaning they have a will and can exercise it. God himself, Angels and Man cannot be 'forced' to do anything. You cannot compel God, God cannot compel you. The bible tells you not to upset angels because they have a will. Satan chose to trouble God. God has given us a choice, an opportunity out of love. As you can see even on this forum many will never find the fire exit. It is not God's fault.
Just answer my question first!

def lover: The system of God are not designed to feel nor be nice but to pass absolute judgement.....the real deal here is did they feel low about themselves.....who told them they are not fearful and wonderfully made

whose standard are they using to measure their life...

is it God's standard or Dr 91210

whose words do they listen to and obey....

if they obey God it says you are fearful and wonderfully made

Dr 91210 says maybe you need to raise the nose a little bit....remove this fatty tissue here and there......put a little needle here to make it smoother

so tell me WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE NAKED? tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue
Answer my question or just quit quoting me

Reference: Oga. God is very, very concerned about sin despite Jesus. The fact that you build an emergency exit doesn't mean everyone will be saved when fire breaks out. Daily thousands die and are lost permanently. Of course God is concerned with who we are and what we do.

The apostle Paul said that, 'should we go on sinning that grace may abound...? Yes, His love for us his creation cannot be broken but it is 'HIS LOVE'. Where is ours... when all we love are our bodies. Can you take that from your wife, husband, children, boss or President of Nigeria.
If you own a car and was constantly worried of a flat tyre, and finally you brought in a spare tyre, would you still be worried about your car having a flat tyre?

But folk can bleach their skins..but it is not a 'sin' ( ladies call it skin toning or so)...And they did not think God did not create them well

But folks use hair growth creams, it is not a 'sin'.. And they did not think God did not create them well

But yung folks use dye on their grey hair, it is not a 'sin'...And they did not think God did not create them well


What pains me the most is that a serial fornicator or a a thief or a rapist or a wife beater or etc will be here calling someone who did plastic surgery or transgender surgery a SINNER. the level of hypocrisy is alarming.

If it was because of only one folk who did corrective surgery... Jesus would have still come and died to save that one.

Stop being judgmental...if I did nose surgery and did all that God asked me to do, are you saying he'd send me to hell for altering my nose?

Come on guys!!!

def lover: who cares about wat you think........or feel.....

its about what does God's word say


the question God asked Adam in the garden

WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU ARE NAKED.................simple
He asked them that because He knew there's no way they'd have known they were n.aked except they ate of that fruit or someone told them. Not because He designed them to be actually n.aked and they all of a sudden wanted clothes. If he really wanted them n.aked..he wouldn't have clothed them went he sent them out of the garden.

Question is, would God condemn you to hell just because you went for tummy tuck or plastic surgery or transgender surgery. ( I told you He's interested n your spirit, not your flesh.)

Would he stop loving you because you changed your physique? Though most folks do this for corrupt gains... It still doesn't mean God don't love them or won't accept them again because they altered their bodies? If a baby poos on himself, would you throw away d baby n his poo poo just because he shouldn't have pooed on his body?

God doesn't think like a natural man does... He's not worried about sin...He was before, but after he sent Jesus, He isn't no more. He is NOT sin conscious

Christianity Etc › Re: Is It a Sin For A Christian To Have Cosmetic Surgery ? by Gombs(m): 8:53am On Nov 24, 2013
I don't think its a sin...God is interested in your spirit...

On that day your flesh won't be there, neither would there be any modification on your spirit.


If you change your body or gender or anything about you in surgery, God won't love you any less than he loved Jesus. He would still love you as if you d only one on the earth.

Victorious In Him · Sunday, November 24th ·

Pastor Anita

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


Jesus already defeated Satan and the cohorts of darkness on your behalf. In Luke 10:18-19, He said, "...I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven…." The Apostle Paul relayed a graphic illustration of the victory of Jesus over Satan and the cohorts of hell: "And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it" (Colossians 2:15).

The Lord Jesus dispossessed Satan of his authority, rendered him powerless and gave us the victory! Therefore, Satan doesn’t have any right over the world today, neither does he have the power to run your life. All you have to do is enforce your victory through the fight of faith. 1 Timothy 6:12 says, "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life whereunto thou art also called and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." This isn’t a fight with the devil, your flesh or the world; rather, it’s maintaining your victory in Christ.

In John 16:33 Jesus said, "…In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Galatians 5:24 says "And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." This means you don’t have to try to overcome the world or the flesh; rather, you’re to live beyond the flesh by walking in the light of God’s Word, in spite of sensory evidence.

Appropriate, and lay hold of, the victories Jesus already wrought and accomplished for you through your faith-filled declarations. It may be in your job, finances, health or family; refuse to accept failure or defeat. Keep declaring your victory.

Confession  

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I’m what God says I am; a victor, an overcomer and more than a conqueror! No weapon formed against me shall prosper because the greater One lives in me! I’m filled with His glory, grace, and might. Halleluiah.

Remember Jesus and that Roman centurion (that guy was a mega VIP)? The Pharisees thought exactly as you just did. They did same to Jesus, you too are.

See, BLW is not just a ministry...it is a Nation. Deal with it.

I remember those days threads insulting pastors are always on front page and that was only what was en vogue on religion section. Pastor Chris n T B Joshua were the heavy victims. Now look at both Pastors today... They didn't pay attention to you guys...and I remember folks who held hands and prayed prayers for NL religion section, prayed for a turn around, prayed for His light to shine on those folks, prayed that they knw the hope of their callings etc . Oh! I remember prayers I prayed (still pray) for you, and other NLders who I visit their moniker today and its been years the logged in on NL... Some no longer post on religion section...they post on other threads but nt Religion....if you doubt go open those threads others and you championed in insulting pastors and their ministry...open the poster's names who followed you in the insults...you'd see most of them are no longer active.

Today NL religion section has a better sanctity. #Gloooray


The day God will slap you eh!...but I will not cease praying for you and others...it's my ministry as a priest in Christ, to intercede for y'all


1 Samuel 12:23 (KJV)
23 Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin
against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way.

Foolishness indeed. I am glad that you admit that.

The usual resort to spiritual mumbo jumbo is your escape hatchet when you hit the firewalls of reason and common sense.
That is your get-out-of-jail card when cognitive dissonance creeps in on you.

I am guessing that your so-called spiritual truths emanate from your a.s.s , considering, as you had pointed out, that you cannot know god with your senses.

2 Corinth 5 AMP
18 But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].

19 It was God [size=16pt][personally present][/size] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but cancelling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor).


You cannot understand these with your senses...God is a Spirit know him by the spirit...stop trying to reason Him out with your senses else you will fulfil this scripture


1 Corinthians 2:14
Living Bible (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]

Take Him At His Word! · Saturday, November 23rd ·

Pastor Anita

And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake (Luke 5:5-6).


Mark 7 tells the story of a Syrophenician woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit. She cried after the Lord Jesus, imploring Him to heal her daughter, but the Master didn’t respond. She remained persistent, until the disciples were somewhat embarrassed, and besought Jesus to send her away. Jesus then said to her, "...Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs" (Mark 7:27). Undaunted by this response, she replied, "… Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs" (Mark 7:28). The woman had great faith, which the Lord commended saying, "… For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter" (Mark 7:29).

I love the way Jesus ministered to that woman. He didn’t talk to the demon; He didn’t say, "Devil, go out of the girl!" Rather, while talking to the woman, He said, "The demon is gone out from your daughter." That was all the woman needed—a Word from the Master—and she took a hold of that word by faith.

A similar story is that of a nobleman whose son was dying. He came and talked to Jesus and all the Master said was "Go thy way; thy son liveth…." The Bible says, "…the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way" (John 4:50). That was faith; He took the Master at His Word and went away, expecting a miracle. On his way home, his servants met him and announced to him, "Good news master! The boy is well" (John 4:51).

"What time did he begin to get better?" the nobleman asked. The servants replied, "...Yesterday, at the seventh hour..." (John 4:52). The man then realized that the miracle took place at the same time Jesus spoke the words of healing.

All you need to come out of any predicament is a Word from God: find out what He has said concerning your situation, and take a hold of His Word, standing your ground in faith. When you exercise faith in the Word, it’ll produce results in you and for you—you’ll surely have a testimony.

Prayer  

Dear heavenly Father, I rejoice today at your Word that’s building my faith strong and influencing my actions. Your Word is my life, and the light that shows me how to walk on the paths of victory, prosperity, and success, from day to day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Why You Must Pray · Friday, November 22nd ·

Pastor Chris

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like
unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him (Matthew 6:7-cool.

"Since God already knows what’s on our
minds, and what we need, why then do we need to pray?" You might want to ask. First, prayer isn’t all about asking God for what you need; rather, and more importantly, prayer is a romance of righteousness: a time to fellowship in the communion of the God-kind.

Secondly, there’s a big difference between life in the natural world, and in the Spirit-realm where God lives.
Just as physical laws and principles govern life in the physical world, spiritual laws equally govern the spirit-
realm. Ezekiel 36:26-36 gives us a better understanding of this. God made several beautiful promises to the Israelites about the wonderful things He’d do for them.
However, very strikingly in the thirty-seventh verse, He said, "…I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of
Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock." What’s God telling us here?

He’s letting us know that we have to work together. Even though He wants to do great things in your life,
there has to be a connection of faith; you have to give Him the permission to do what He wants to do in your life. We serve a kind, loving, great and gracious God who daily loads us with benefits (Psalms 68:19).
Furthermore, Matthew 18:18 says, "Verily I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in
heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." That means "heaven" will give the
authority and the go-ahead for whatever you decree on earth. If you say "no!" to sickness, and bind the works of the devil in your family, or in your job, or in your own body, the Holy Spirit will endorse it. You have to take a faith-stand in prayer for things to change. This is your responsibility.

Confession
I take advantage of the power in the Name of Jesusagainst sickness, lack, failure and defeat; and I declare that I walk in the reality of my Kingdom-
Inheritance, basking in the glory of Christ and strengthened by His supernatural might in my inner man. Blessed be God!
