OLAADEGBU: I never knew that? I'll try that on the next victim.  I've also noticed that they don't like to pray. Before they open their mouths tell them "let us pray" you will see that they may end the meeting there and then.Very true. Some reluctantly yield tho Me too. It's as if they've blacklisted my house, for a season.Mine is running into the 2nd year o! Rachel my course mate then would come around and share. The day I told her that Jesus is God himself and she said NO that Jesus was created by God!... We dragged it and she got pissed, since then all she does is wave at me and pass. |

OLAADEGBU: They might be obliged to use the KJV if you insist.They say the KJV is the most perversed bible version. But after insisting, the last meet I had with em, the guy got angry, because I made him read the KJV himself...out loud He needed me to listen to him, I gave him the KJV and said...teach me all you wanna teach, but make sure all you say has a backing in the KJV..went and got him NIV and NLT sef. The dude agreed. I told him to read John 1v1 from the KJV...and we argued for the next 1hr They know me in my area o! They don't stop at my house. But I buy their magazines (though not for sale, but I always gv em monies). I just read the science/history part of it and forget the rest. |

An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that evolution had created. "What majestic trees! What powerful rivers! What beautiful animals!", he said to himself. As he was walking along the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. When he turned to see what the cause was, he saw a 7- foot grizzly charging right towards him. He ran as fast as he could. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing, He ran even faster, crying in fear. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pounding and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up, but saw the bear right on top of him, reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him. At that moment, the Atheist cried out "Oh my God!...." Time stopped. The bear froze. The forest was silent. Even the river stopped moving. As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, "You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don't exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?" The atheist looked directly into the light "It would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask You to treat me as Christian now, but perhaps could you make the bear a Christian?" "Very well," said the voice. The light went out. The river ran again. And the sounds of the forest resumed. And then the bear dropped his right paw ..... brought both paws together... bowed his head and spoke: "Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful." 7 Likes |

6 kind of atheists on NL 1. The Intellectual Atheist/Agnostic: Sees his/herself as intellectually too advanced for religion and seeks to engage with other likeminded individuals through writings, YouTube videos and talks. 2. The Activist: Proactively works for issues connected to naturalist or humanist causes. these set of folks gave funny reasons of how the universe came about. Like evolution (and I ask if man evolved from monkeys, why then do we still have monkeys today?) Etc 3. The Seeker-Agnostic: Considers the metaphysical a possibility but is comfortable with uncertainty as it concerns the interaction of science and the metaphysical. 4. The Anti-Theist: Believes religion to be evil, thus actively works against religion and religious influences. These set of folks are usually rabid Be warned! These set of folks believe that Christianity (not even islam or Buddhism or such) is the opposite of atheism. They don't go to islam thread and spew their thoughts, and they love using the bible as a reason for their atheistic state of mind. 5. The Non-Theist: Does not have much interest in religious concepts. But they tend to wanna know about God. 6. The Tag-Along-Band: these folks are actually christians, but they wanna tag along with atheists just to run away from being responsible and accountable for their evil acts. They often say "the Jew God in the bible is evil" weirdly, all they know about a god/God is in Christianity, not Buddhism not even Paganism or such I have a joke I wanna share next! 3 Likes |

Let The Spirit Guide You · Tuesday, October 15th · Pastor Chris What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also (1 Corinthians 14:15). One of the numerous benefits of praying in other tongues is the fact that it gets you synchronized with the will, purpose, and timing of God. Those who haven’t understood this awesome benefit of speaking in tongues would rather use vain repetitions; numerous words in their understanding to try to express themselves to God. The Lord Jesus already pointed out the fruitlessness of praying that way: "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking" (Matthew 6:7). What do you want to tell a God who knows everything? He gave us the ability to pray in other tongues. When you pray in tongues, your spirit is stirred to know the mind of God. In 1 Corinthians 14:15, the Apostle Paul said, "...I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also...." He gave pre-eminence to praying in other tongues because that way, the Spirit stirs your heart and guides you to pray the will of the Father. Sometimes, some Christians unwittingly ask God for things that could ruin them. That wouldn’t be the case if they had prayed fervently in other tongues: they’d have been guided by the Spirit as to what to ask for, and how! The Spirit helps our limitations in prayer; He bears us up in our weaknesses. He grants us the right spiritual expressions in our communion with the Father: "Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered" (Romans 8:26). Prayer Dear Father, I thank you for the tremendous blessings and impact of your Word and the ministry of the Spirit in my life. My spirit is energized and sensitized to know your will, purpose, and direction for me; and I walk in the path of divine destiny, fulfilling your perfect will for me, in Jesus Name. Amen. f u r t h e r s t u d y: 1Corinthians 14:14-15;1Corinthians 14:39; Jude 1:20 1 Corinthians 14:14-15 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 1 Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : 1 Thessalonians 5:1-28, Isaiah 42-43 2 Year Reading Plan : John 6:1-14, 1 Kings 22 |

[quote author=Okija_juju]Okay!! So Joseph that was nearly killed by the founding fathers of Isreal.. The same Joseph that was put inside a pit and sold off to Merchants as a slave..

The Same Joseph that the Egyptians allowed to join Egyptian politics and was made a Gowon in the Land of Egypt..[/quote]Yep, same Joseph...aint my God too awesome? Gen 50 NIV 19 But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21 So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them. Do you understand what it takes for an immigrant to hold such a Position in a foreign land?!

Joseph was more Egyptian than Isreali.. #FACT!!Fat lie...d dude came directly from Jacob who came from Isaac who came from Abraham who God richly blessed.

He’s Given Us Everything! · Monday, October 14th · Pastor Chris Therefore, let no man glory in men. For all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21). How wonderful the Lord is! He doesn’t withhold any good thing from us. The truth is, He’s given us everything. Ephesians 1:3 says, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." He’s already blessed us. God isn’t going to give you anything more than He’s already given you in Christ. Think about it: He’s given you the Spirit without measure; there couldn’t be anything better than that! John 3:34 says, "For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." Then, in John 20:21, the Lord Jesus said to the disciples, just before He ascended into heaven, "...as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you" (John 20:21). This means that Jesus has sent us the same way He was sent of the Father; and He’s given us the Spirit without measure also (Acts 2:4). This is so awesome. You don’t need to look out anymore, craving "more" blessings from God, having already received the fullness of the Spirit. You have everything in Him. When we talk about walking in the fullness of His blessings, it doesn’t refer to God giving you more; because He’s already given you all there is. However, as you follow the principles of God’s Word, you enter into greater levels of what He’s already made available to you; not that God will make any effort to give you something more. He already gave us everything that is necessary for life and godliness: "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). Observe that it says, "through the knowledge" (Greek: epignosis) of Him"; that means full and accurate knowledge of God. The more we know Him, the more we enjoy that which we know about Him. It’s important that you get to know Him through the Word, and know all that He’s already made available to you in Christ to enjoy them. Prayer Dear Father, I thank you for giving me all things in Christ. Thank you for giving me a life of righteousness, glory, grace, and dominion in Christ Jesus. Thank you for giving me all things free, to enjoy, and for making me the symbol of your blessings, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. f u r t h e r s t u d y: 1 Timothy 6:17; Acts 20:32 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : 1 Thessalonians 4:1-18, Isaiah 40-41 2 Year Reading Plan : John 5:33-47, 1 Kings 21 |

LambanoPeace: Instead of you to just write what made you join your church (Catholic)? Why are people this difficult?I tire o! He said they should preach the undiluted word of God, how then do you preach that if you don't bring them in AND retain them? He said we shouldn't please some people. We have to please the brethren that come in, but NOT outside the Word of God. That's why Paul said I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some' To a carpenter he was a carpenter, to the gentile he was a gentile and so many other examples...he became what they were (not that he started carpentry or lifestyle of gentiles- he pleased them within the Word) just so that he could win them to Christ.

Light Through Darkness · Sunday, October 13th · Pastor Chris Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising (Isaiah 60:1-3). Have you ever wondered why there’re people who are desperately wicked, and treat others with such cruelty? Like what happened several years ago in Sierra Leone, where many had their limbs amputated, including babies. I recall watching a documentary where some of the victims narrated their ordeal. The perpetrators, some of whom were boy-soldiers conscripted to wreak the havoc, had no restraint. They acted with inhuman heartlessness and wickedness. Such injurious and vicious acts of cruelty don’t happen by themselves; they’re orchestrated by demoniacal forces over whom we have authority in the Name of Jesus. As a child of God, therefore, you must continually exercise your authority in the Name of Jesus against the demonic powers that lure men into such acts of wickedness, breaking their influence over the people. In Mark 16:17, Jesus said concerning the believing ones, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils…." Then in Matthew 5:14 He said, "Ye are the light of the world…." The dark places of the earth may have been filled with habitations of cruelty, but we can do something about it. So don’t be quiet. We’re the light in a dark world. You don’t have to be physically domiciled in these turbulent regions, but you can effect changes from where you are through authoritative prayers in the Name of Jesus. You have the power to frustrate the evil one, and insist that the peace of God governs the nations, and rules in men’s heart. Pray specially today for those in war-torn regions, especially children, who have been displaced due to these senseless acts of violence. Pray that they’d find comfort and peace in the Lord, and that through the intervention of the Spirit and the activities of angels, many would be guided to receive salvation. Prayer Dear heavenly Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I come against the evil schemes and devices of the devil to cause chaos and anarchy around the world. I speak peace, and declare that the ministry of the Gospel goes on unhindered in all nations, in the Name of Jesus. Amen. f u r t h e r s t u d y: Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. " Philippians 2:9-10 9: Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : 1 Thessalonians 2:17-3:1-13, Isaiah 38-39 2 Year Reading Plan : John 5:28-32, 1 Kings 20 1 Like |

In our efforts to retain a high percentage of new converts and first timers that come to our churches weekly, it is important we understand their thinking. As Apostle Paul declared, 'I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some' its imperative that we come up with workable models in retaining the souls God adds to us daily. This poll is an inquiry to come up with such models . 1. The Content and Power of the Word preached in the church 2. The warmth, care and demonstration of Love in the church 3. The regular occurrence of healing, miracles, signs and wonders in the church 4. The quality of musical worship and ministrations 5. The beauty, cleanliness of the Church building and facilities 6. The presence of people in same age group, social status and language affinity in the church 7. The service time and duration of the Church services 8.
