cold: Let's just say i'm a man with no invinsible means of support.

An good definition for atheism

rationalmind: Evolution does not teach that we evolved from monkeys. Its simply says we and monkeys share a common ancestor.

Pls who is the common ancestor we share?


Big Bang?

I shouldn't be telling you all this. Spend a little time on google to study it.

When you guys wanna knw abt God you forget that google exist to go study, you lot come here and ask, dnt you?

Now be a good lad and answer my question above!

Alfa ..I have a series of short and precise questions


oblige me.

God bless you Ola

cold: Cool. Finally someone is getting the message

What message? What God does for a living?

BTW are you an atheist or agnostic?

cold: So God just sits his backside & watch his creation go to pieces because he is incapable of checkmating Satan,Lucifer or whatever nomenclature he goes by. Yeah makes perfect sense. Then he shouldn't be regarded as all knowing,almighty etc. Because he is clearly impotent & incapacitated to stop anything.
Or on the other hand, he could be the cause of everything evil in the world today & only looking for a bogeyman..referred to as the devil to blackmail for his actions. Remember it was God that said this...not the devil

Your opinion is duly noted

cold: My question is as straight forward as they come. Why has the world gone pear shaped under God's watch?
If we can criticise the president for not living up to his responsibilities;a mere mortal what more an all seeing & all knowing God.Shouldn't more be expected of him?

Ever heard of the noun SATAN or DEVIL?

Well, God does not legally have a right to this world, remember he casted down Satan n his cohorts down here from heaven for their rebellion, so Satan ruined the earth God wonderfully created and he still is. God ONLY interferes on Earth matters through man. So if man don't pray, satan keeps wrecking havoc and make you blame God.


Well, I knw you don't really need answers nor truth, I just typed the above for those who'd view this page to learn.

Meanwhile, why ask what immortals do for a living?
Immortals live outside time, they don't need food or work or business or monies or such to survive/live

I must say, that's a very intelligent question

[quote author=Alfa-B]^^^whatever[/quote]What does satan do for a living? (Let's assume this is a brilliant question)

rationalmind: You mean how God created woman out of man and we still have men today?

What an intelligent observation by you.

Created woman from man and not evolved woman from man...get d difference


You can create moi moi from beans, that doesn't mean moi moi evolved from beans

aManFromMars: You keep repeating we evolved from monkeys. Who told you that? The Holy Spirit?

Do you mind explaining to me as you would to a 6yr old how the universe and man came about?

Tnx

aManFromMars: YEAH. Ask God how he became a Father, son and spirit all at the same time. Now that's evolutionary.

You mean how that we evolved from monkeys and yet still have monkeys today?!

Now that's very intelligent, aint it?

aManFromMars: I hear the Holy Spirit has better answers.

Absolutely!

I presume evolution has other answers? No?

aManFromMars: What makes one a pastor?

Waiting for incredible answers.

Ask www.google.com

OP I rather find your topic disturbing

Must you use the word PASTORS?

@Jo, you are very right, it's very true policemen use scriptures for extortion eg the one below...and as you asked the OP, I'm asking too, are they pastors?


Matt 5v25 New American Standard Bible

"Make friends quickly with your opponent at law while
you are with him on the way, so that your opponent
may not hand you over to the judge, and the judge to
the officer, and you be thrown into prison."

Justified To Reign · Monday, October 21st

Pastor Chris

For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).


A righteousness which is without the Law; that’s the righteousness which is by the faith of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:21, 22). That righteousness has been credited to your account as a child of God. This had nothing to do with your actions: what you did, or didn’t do; it’s the grace of God! Ephesians 2:9 says, "Not of works, lest any man should boast." It’s therefore pointless to try to impress God with your "works."

Acts 13:39 tells us, "And by him (Jesus Christ) all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." Meaning that if you believe in Jesus, you’ve been accounted righteous and declared not guilty: that which couldn’t be achieved by keeping the Law with its ordinances has now been perfected by the faith of Christ. Romans 4:24-25 says, "But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification." This is a legal or formal declaration of innocence. Jesus was delivered to death for your offenses, and raised back to life for your acquittal; you’ve been formally declared not guilty. God is not charging you with any wrong, because to Him, you never sinned. How could this be?

The reason is that, being born again, you’re now a new man, with the life and nature of God, having no past. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." You have a new life in Christ; the resurrection life (Romans 6:4); you’ve been justified by faith, to reign and rule in life: "…they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:17).

Confession  

I’m a new creation in Christ Jesus, born with the resurrection life! I’ve embraced the righteousness which is by the faith of Jesus Christ, through which I’ve been justified to reign and rule in life. I walk in the light of my new life in Christ, conscious of my right standing with God, having received abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness.

f u r t h e r s t u d y: Romans 5:1; Romans 3:20-24

Romans 5:1
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 3:20-24
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his
sight: for by the law is the knowledge of
sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being
witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and
upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus:

You will always have the poor among you, and you can help them whenever you want to. But you will not always have me.


So if I wanna give an offering of 100k I should come with cash? When I can use a card effortlessly? What if I wanna give a tithe of N1mill, I shd bring cash shey?







I predict that this thread would amazingly be transformed into a tithe discussion thread.

[quote author=Real_Alfranco]In the bible,da word 'Trinity' wasn't mentioned at all...not even once!!! But I think da word was used 2 show/explain 2 us da ways God reveals himself 2 man... in the book of Genesis,God(the father)revealed himself 2 Adam nd Eve. The birth of Jesus Christ(the son)... And God reveals himself 2 us thru da Holy Spirit,when we accept Christ as our Lord nd Saviour( Acts 1:7;Acts 2)[/quote]The above bold is Not true!

God NEVER revealed himself to Adam and Eve. It was Jesus that was with them. God NEVER leaves his throne.

Gen 3v8 KJV
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.


Jesus is the Word of God. Jn 1v1 that word came walking.

@Op the Holyspirit is same as God, he proceeds from the father. God never leaves his throne, but manifest him self by the person of the Holyspirit and dwells in us and through us, does his will and wonders all over the world.

Aifey: We are a gradualy getting there.

Yeah

I wonder what folks actually mean by 'prosperity gospel'?

Much more than the acquisition of material
possessions, prosperity is the ability to help others
prosper! It’s the ability to do what you want to do, go where you want to go, and be whatever you want to
be to the glory of Christ! It’s the ability to please
God, and walk with the Spirit, and have His glory
manifested in your life! It’s the Spirit of dominion at
work in your life as a child of God.

I hope from the above bold, they would understand what Prosperity actually means

Prosperity—An Ability · Sunday, October 20th ·

Pastor Anita

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 1:2).


Many have only thought of prosperity in terms of money or the multiplication of material possessions, but prosperity is first an ability. Material possessions or finances are often the most common symbols or indications of prosperity, which is why many equate prosperity with money; but it’s beyond money.

Let’s review the example of Joseph in Genesis 39:2; the Bible describes him as a prosperous man: "And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian." We’re told that he (Joseph) made his master, Potiphar, to prosper, to the extent that Potiphar made Joseph overseer of all that he had: "…the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. And he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand…" (Genesis 39:5-6).

Even after he was falsely accused and sent to prison, the Bible says that Joseph was still prosperous. He was put in charge of the prisoners and the Lord made him successful in all that he did (Genesis 39:22- 23). You can be "in prison," and be prosperous. You can be working for somebody or an organization, and be the reason for their prosperity. Consider Jacob: the Bible says he made Laban to prosper. In Genesis 30:27, Laban testified of this to Jacob and said, "…I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake."

Much more than the acquisition of material possessions, prosperity is the ability to help others prosper! It’s the ability to do what you want to do, go where you want to go, and be whatever you want to be to the glory of Christ! It’s the ability to please God, and walk with the Spirit, and have His glory manifested in your life! It’s the Spirit of dominion at work in your life as a child of God.

You’ve been empowered by God, not just to prosper spiritually, mentally, physically and materially, but also to make others prosperous.

Prayer  

I’m growing in grace and increasing in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Word is prevailing in my life, causing me to prosper in my body, finances and in every area of my life! I’ve been empowered to bring prosperity to others, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

ayoku777: Love this.

True, i believe its time to begin to edify eachother on how to walk in the reality of who we have become in Christ.

We receive to reveal, we become to bring forth. And revelation is the link between this two stages.

The essense and goal of becoming sons, is for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God.

Thank you sir!

I've said it before, why not discuss something more edifying and building up IN Christ rather than always argue tithes, Pastors, Jets, and the likes.

You Can "Make" Something Out Of Nothing! · Saturday, October 19th

Pastor Chris

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear (Hebrews 11:3).


Our theme scripture shows us the power of faith. It says through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. This means you can bring something out of nothing, through faith. How do you acquire faith? Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." That means if you didn’t have enough faith, you could make faith come to you by hearing the Word. Faith comes to you in the Word, and with that faith, you can make things happen.

This completely debunks the mentality of those who sit idly by, waiting for "something good to happen to them." Never wait for things to happen by themselves. Through faith you can create something out of nothing. 2 Corinthians 4:6 reveals an important principle to this effect; it says, "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

Notice that God didn’t wait for the darkness to turn to light; He commanded the light to shine out of darkness! There’s a difference between lighting up a dark place and shining light out of darkness. The latter is the faith of God Jesus described in Mark 11:22.

Now, remember, we’re made in the image and likeness of God; that means we look like Him, and can function like Him. Therefore, when life looks dark, and things look confusing, you can make something good out of that seemingly distressing situation with the Word of faith in your mouth. You can command light out of darkness. What you need is the Word of God; when that Word comes to you, it will spark up faith in your spirit to see endless possibilities. Put that faith to work through words and "make something out of nothing."

Confession  

God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, has shined in my heart! Therefore, I have received that same ability of faith, to call forth those things which I desire to see in my life. I manifest joy, prosperity and victory, everyday, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.

Fuel Your Passion For The Gospel! · Friday, October 18th ·

Pastor Chris

Never lag in zeal and in earnest endeavour; be aglow and burning with the Spirit, serving the Lord (Romans 12:11 AMP).


The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only saving message for the world, and you’re a custodian of this life-changing message. It’s the message of power by which God saves, heals, protects, delivers, preserves, and prospers. In Romans 1:16-17, the Apostle Paul said, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one 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."

Observe those beautiful, Spirit-inspired words carefully; it says, the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes. The Gospel isn’t one of the requirements nor part of God’s power for salvation, no! The Holy Spirit, penning down this truth through Paul, was absolute! The Gospel is God’s ONLY power to save man. You must be convinced about this and become passionate in your spirit for the Gospel.

When you’re passionate about the Gospel it’ll impact those around you. Passion is like fire that must be fuelled, otherwise it’ll be extinguished. Therefore, you must fuel your passion for the Gospel. The Gospel of Christ must burn in your heart. Fuel your passion for the Gospel by talking and sharing it again and again! Talk and discuss the Gospel. Discuss with people of like passion: those who are equally fired up in their spirits for the Gospel.

Don’t spend time on the wrong information that could dissipate your zeal; don’t spend time with those who have no passion for the Lord, and for the Gospel. Spend time in the Gospel! Keep talking the Word and of your love for Christ and His Kingdom. The more you talk about His kindness, goodness, love for the world, and His message of salvation, the more the fire of His love will burn in the quarters of your heart!

Prayer  Dear Father, I thank you for making me a custodian of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the only message that can save the sinner, and bring them out of darkness into the glorious life of righteousness! I thank you for counting me faithful and worthy to be a minister of reconciliation; I’m ministering the Gospel with power, to the unsaved around me today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Boldly Say What God Has Said… · Thursday, October 17th ·

Pastor Chris

...For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me (Hebrews 13:5-6).


When it comes to declaring the Word of God, you have to be unflinching; be bold to say what God has said about you. The Word in your mouth is God talking, and has inherent power to produce what it says. When you speak the Word with the boldness of the Spirit, things change.

The Bible tells us in Acts 4:31 that the Apostles were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word with boldness. What was it they said that passed as the Word of God? In this context, whatever they might have said about themselves, on the basis of what God has said, is the Word of God. It also implies preaching; being bold to affirm the Gospel. The Apostle Peter for one, on the day of Pentecost, declared the Word of God with such boldness that three thousand souls were saved after they heard him speak. Peter’s words were so impregnated with divine energy that it pricked the hearts of his hearers: "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?" (Acts 2:37).

Never be timid about the Word; declare it at all times with boldness. Be bold to declare who you are, what you have, and what God has accomplished for you in Christ. For example, 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." Therefore, be bold to declare that you’ve been made righteous; you’re the proof of His goodness and equity. Speak boldly in consonance with that word, declaring to everyone that you’re the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

Even now, make bold confessions of the Word about yourself! Declare that you’re in Christ: in Him you live and move, and have your being! You reign with Him in the realms of glory; you’re a victor, and your life is for the glory of God!

Confession  

Greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world. I’m living the life of glory and excellence through the power of God’s Spirit. I’m reigning as a king in life, having received abundance of grace, and the gift of righteousness. Halleluiah.
