I did not admit nor deny that assertion of GEJ n family bin a member, all I'm saying is you twisted facts to make fun of all and sundry...to what gain?

Pls honestly answer the last question above.

@OP, i wish u can take a record of the strides pastor Chris has made from 2009 till now



when u are done taking record, come ask me whether they are right or possible by his might.

Pastor Kun: Thanx for resurrecting the thread sef, at least joagbaje would have the opportunity to tell us how his ministry has been prospering in the last three years.

why not take a trip to Bayelsa and ask ..then see for urself? meanwhile, u today is an evidence of successions of prayers...compare ur posts of 3yrs bck and today...u have improved to an extent (in speech especially tho u still need improvement in topics and thoughts). i praise God for that

take time and read through ur post and topic and see how silly u sound 3yrs bck...i resurrected it for folks who joined NL after 2010, for them to see how absurd and malicious u were 3yrs back. GEJ is from Bayelsa and suddenly elevated to President of Nigeria and because he who u had personal vendetta with for no cogent reason is in Bayelsa too, u twisted facts to make fun of all and sundry...to what gain?

kunle

Amen and Thank you sir...God bless you too

[size=16pt]which Nigerian publishes punch newspaper sef?...i dey wonder sha[/size]


[size=32pt] i smell red oil here o [/size] ...

Kunle...over the years, i keep praying for u. though down the line, u have changed, u r berra than u were 3years back...

you are getting there...very very soon

Acknowledge The Anointing In You · Tuesday,
November 5th ·

Pastor Chris

But the anointing which ye have received of him
abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach
you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all
things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath
taught you, ye shall abide in him (1 John 2:27).

This is so powerful! The anointing is in you.
Have you acknowledged this reality? Do
you have the consciousness of one who’s
anointed by the Holy Spirit? You should
have the presenthour consciousness that
the Anointed One, and His anointing, lives
in you.

Philemon 1:6 says, "That the communication of thy faith
may become effectual by the acknowledging of every
good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." The anointing
is one of the good things in you in Christ Jesus. That
anointing is the inherent power of God by which we
effect positive changes. Being born again, you’re
anointed with God’s power, glory and might because the
Holy Spirit lives in you. You’re thus empowered of Him
to accomplish things beyond human ability.

Paul said in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth me." "Christ" here refers to
the Anointed One and the Anointing. Therefore, Christ
being in you means you’re supernatural; you can
accomplish anything by His power that’s at work in you.

No wonder the Bible says nothing shall be impossible
unto you (Mark 9:23). Walking in the light of this truth
will cause you to be more effective in your Christian
walk.

Recall what we read in Philemon 1:6; if you were to start
listing the good things that are in you in Christ Jesus, you
could pick the anointing as one of them and say, "The
communication of my faith is effectual because I acknowledge the anointing of God’s Spirit which is in
me." That anointing on your life makes you a success in
all that you do; it makes you invincible in life.

Prayer

Dear Father, I recognize your anointing on my life,
and I declare that by reason of that anointing, I can
do all things; I can change hopeless situations and
manifest your glory in any challenging situation. O,
what a life of glory, dominion, and grace you’ve given
me in Christ! I’m living that life to the fullest, in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.

f u r t h e r s t u d y: Isaiah 10:27; Luke 4:18

Isaiah 10:27
"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."

Luke 4:18
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, "

"Sow" The Right Words Into Your Heart! · Monday, November 4th ·

Pastor Chris

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain (James 1:26).


What the Apostle James meant in the underlined portion in the verse above is different from when you tell someone, "You’re deceiving yourself." He was speaking spiritually when he said "…but deceiveth his own heart…." To deceive your heart is to make your spirit believe a lie. For example, when a Christian says, "You know I’m poor; I don’t have anything; nothing seems to be working in my life." He’s speaking contrary to the will and provisions of Christ in His Gospel, and such words will go into his spirit as seed.

In Mark 4:26-27, Jesus said, "…So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how." All the sower had to do was to sow the seed; and the seed is the Word, and the heart of man is the ground that receives it (Mark 4:14-15). People who talk negatively never get away with it, because what you say is what you get (Mark 11:23).

For the one who consistently speaks poverty and lack, for example, even if all the wealth in the world were delivered to him free, he would still become poor. The principle is explained in 1 Corinthians 2:9-12 (read entire reference). God has prepared great things, beyond human imagination, for those who love Him, and by His Spirit, He has revealed those things to us. The Spirit searches or scans all things—the deep and profound things of God. He’s the only one that knows them, just as no man knows the things of a man’s heart except the spirit of that man: "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God" (1 Corinthians 2:11).

Therefore, the human spirit functions like the Holy Spirit: he scans through you, collating your words: words you’ve sown in your spirit, so as to produce them for you as harvest. Keep sowing the right words into your heart. Only speak words that are in sync with what God has said concerning you. Even now, declare that you’re full of joy, peace, prosperity, divine health, and victories! Keep sowing faith-filled words into your spirit.

Prayer  

Dear Father, your Word is the light that guides my spirit, helping me to say only those things that are consistent with your plan, will and purpose for my life. Thus, my life is a harvest of joy, peace, prosperity, health and promotions, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Immeasurable Grace And Peace! · Sunday, November 3rd ·

Pastor Anita

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:1-2).


There’re people who lament how much they want peace in their life, home, place of work, etc., and as a result, are asking others to pray for them to have more peace. However, that’s not going to work, because the Bible doesn’t say "grace and peace be multiplied to you through prayers," but through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. Such people may be prayed for, and they might feel better, but that’s all they’re going to get; a "good feeling."

God wants you to have something better than a "good feeling." He wants you to live by His Word! The more you know Him, the more grace and peace you stand to enjoy in your life. The word ‘peace’ as used in 2 Peter 1:2 is from the Greek word, "eirene," which means peace, with rest and prosperity. It’s akin to the Hebrew word "shalom."

In other words, through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, you dwell in rest and prosperity! Everything about your life works out right. You’re not fretful over anything. Irrespective of what happens, you’re unperturbed, because you know things can only turn out for your good.

Keep meditating on the Word of God! Maintain fellowship with the Spirit, and He’ll grant you more revelation knowledge of the Father, and of Jesus our Lord, heaping grace upon grace, thus bringing multiplied favour, promotion, increase, advantage, and other innumerable blessings into your life.

Prayer  

Dear Father, I thank you for your glory that’s revealed in my life. I thank you also for beautifying me with your grace and giving me a life of endless peace and prosperity. I’m functioning excellently through the power of the Holy Spirit, who lives in me and pilots me from glory to glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Virtue: Moral Excellence · Saturday, November 2nd ·

Pastor Chris

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).


Our opening verse says we’ve been called to glory and virtue; meaning that inside of you is the glory of God and the power to do right. Virtue means moral excellence that’s dependent on moral energy; the power to do right. It’s the work of the Spirit of God produced from inside you, but you have to walk in it.

For example, you can refuse to cheat at work or school. The power or moral energy to resist such an act is in you. Acts 1:8 says, "…Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…." This power is inherent in you. When the Holy Spirit comes to reside in you, He energizes you from within for the life of moral excellence. You have the inherent ability to set your mind to do what is right, and refuse that which is wrong.

This is what 2 Peter 1:5 tells us: "And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue…." This doesn’t mean that "virtue" isn’t already in you, or that you’re to try and get it, and add it to your faith; no! The word "add" is the Greek "epichoregeo" and it means to "furnish besides," i.e. fully supply or sponsor. The ability to set your mind to do what’s right, and refuse that which is wrong is inside you; put it to work! Sponsor it; supply it lavishly to your faith. That’s what God is saying.

Prayer  

Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of your Word in my life, and its indelible impact on my spirit today and always. I rejoice because your Sprit enlightens my understanding, causing me to manifest and radiate your glory to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Knowledge That Makes Us Masters · Friday, November 1st

Pastor Chris

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9).


In the opening verse above, the Apostle Paul specifically prayed for the Colossian brethren to be filled with the full knowledge of God’s will. This was the knowledge of God that Paul had, and lived by; which made him extraordinary and distinguished him among the Apostles. It’s the knowledge that makes us masters. It puts you over in life.

In Christ, we’re ordained of God to live as champions and reign as kings in life. The reason this hasn’t been the experience of many is that they haven’t learnt to walk in the knowledge of God’s will. Romans 12:2 tells us about the good, the acceptable, and the perfect will of God: "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."

The ultimate is walking in God’s perfect will; but that only builds from having fellowship with the Holy Spirit. As you fellowship with Him through prayer, study of the Word and meditation, you’ll know His perfect will, intent and purposes. Through that intimacy, you’ll become more like Him; united with Him in thought and character.

You become a consistent victor when you function with the full and exact knowledge of His perfect will for your life. You’ll always know what to do in every situation; all your efforts and resources will constantly be channelled in the right direction to achieve the right results. You can know and live in His perfect will.

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for guiding me through your Word, and the Holy Spirit, to know and walk in your perfect will for me. I’m filled with your wisdom to overcome every challenge I may face, and to do excellently in all my endeavours, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Just like how Goshen said I and Jo are same


And BTW it still doesn't change d fact dat Kunle, had multiple IDs na

KunleOshobs, PastorKun and Christembassey

I cancelled the above o!

highyo: One thing I believe, any songs not dedicated to God, cannot be used glorify him
I read a testimony of Ubani Kingsley when the lord and his angel visited him, he said his house was stinking. But kingsley said, there is nothing bad in my house. But Jesus insisted that the bad smell was coming from his tv side. Then he send one of his angel to confirm, then he brought

1. Wrestling
2, Clash of the titans
3. Some Christians music
4. Some igbo movie etc


[s] the question here is why Jesus brings out christains music as stinking items?
He said the music was not dedicated to him, and whenever you sing or play it, the demon the music is dedicated to will take over the life of the singer and holyspirit cannot stay in the stinking area [/s]

Renew your mind bro!
At your green words above

A lady got a miracle from listening to Timaya's song, a line that said "na papa God go do am, just they pray dey thank God...even if people dey talk, no mind them bla bla bla"


She held those words in faith n got her miracle...now I ask you, what made the difference? The faith of the woman (the hearer) did, timaya might have sang that song to sell a cd, without really referencing God or with even no evidence of Holyspirit in him...but the woman who sang same in faith got a change.

Hian!...I'm not saying we should patronize Timaya, wiz kid em em davido and d rest o!

From your green words above, All I'll say is what Paul said here
Phil 1v18

New International Version
But what does it matter? The important thing is that
in every way, whether from false motives or true,
Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes,
and I will continue to rejoice,

New Living Translation
But that doesn't matter. Whether their motives are
false or genuine, the message about Christ is being
preached either way, so I rejoice. And I will continue
to rejoice.

English Standard Version
What then? Only that in every way, whether in
pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I
rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

King James Bible
What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in
pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein
do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.


Also, I'm not saying all song we sing are scripturally right...for example this song is wrong

" We are matching to Ziooooooon, wonderful beautiful city of God etc etc "

Why??
Because Heb 12 v22 declared that we are already in Zion, not matching to Zion

And many other songs

Be Continually Filled With The Spirit · Thursday, October 31st ·

Pastor Chris

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18).


Our opening verse in the original Greek rendering is expressed in present continuous language. This means, for you to be effective in your Christian walk and live the transcendent life in Christ to the full, you have to be continually filled with the Spirit—not just for one day—but always. Praying in tongues is very beneficial in this regard; you can pray in tongues anytime you want to, and be filled with the Spirit. It’s not difficult at all to be continually filled with the Spirit.

The Word of God shows us in the ensuing verses, right after our opening verse, how to experience this constant infilling of the Holy Spirit. It’s by "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" (Ephesians 5:19). Notice it didn’t say, "…speaking to one another…"; when it says "speaking to yourselves…" it means each of us speaking to himself.

For example, when you say "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want; the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world!" That’s you speaking the Word to yourself; edifying yourself with the Word of God. Speaking the Word to yourself in this manner is one of the ways to get yourself continually filled with the Spirit.

Secondly, it says, "...Singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord...." This refers to singing in the spirit; making spiritual melodies in your heart to the Lord. It doesn’t have to be melodious to anyone else; you just go on singing in the spirit, all by yourself. Next, it says, "Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ." That means you give thanks to God for all He’s done for you; you testify of His wondrous works in your life, thanking Him for His love, kindness, grace, mercy, and glory in your life! You can also minister to others as in Colossians 3:16: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

Consciously practice these, and get yourself continually filled with the Spirit, for an all-day, alltime life of victory and dominion through the Holy Ghost!

Prayer
Blessed heavenly Father, I exalt and worship you for your great love, grace and power in my life! Thank you for bringing me into a life of peace and joy in the Holy Ghost! To you be all glory and dominion forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Live Joyfully… Everyday · Wednesday, October 30th ·

Pastor Chris

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms (James 5:13).


There’re many who, instead of enjoying their lives every day are worried and weighed down by the cares of this life. The Lord Jesus, in Matthew 6:25, enjoins us not to live that kind of life: "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?" (Matthew 6:25).

The Spirit of God, through the Apostle Paul reiterated a similar thought in Philippians 4:6: "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God." You must decide to live joyfully and happily every day; it’s a choice you have to make. Never find yourself sad, depressed or discouraged, irrespective of what happens around you.

God doesn’t have the responsibility of making you happy or joyful. What He did was to put joy in your spirit. Joy is a characteristic fruit of your recreated human spirit (Galatians 5:22), but it’s up to you to live joyfully. No one but you, in the whole world, has the responsibility of making you joyful.

Living joyfully has nothing to do with what’s happening to you or around you, or what others say or do to you. It’s got nothing to do with your experiences either; you can be joyful in the midst of trouble. James 1:2 says count it all joy when you go through diverse troubles. In other words, don’t be moved by adverse circumstances; remain thankful and exuberant with joy, knowing that you’re more than a conqueror.

My friend, flesh and blood did not reveal that to you.

Actually, there is a level in God where you live in the supernatural daily n always. You cn achieve that by studying the word, speaking in tongues and meditation of the word.

That's the level Jesus wants us all to be. We are gods.
