He Gives More Grace To The Humble · Friday, September 27th · 

Pastor Anita

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble (James 4:6).

For you to consistently experience divine favours in your life, you must be humble. Humility is a key to greatness, success and promotion. God gives more grace to the humble but sets Himself against the proud and haughty (James 4:6 TLB); the more they try to rise or forge ahead in life, the more their pride inevitably sets them against God’s favour.

This is one reason some people, in spite of their great abilities, can’t seem to fathom why they aren’t making much progress in their lives. They’ve watched others who didn’t seem to have as much talents as themselves make progress and get promoted, hence they’ve even become bitter against everybody else. What they don’t realize is that their stagnation or lack of progress isn’t the doing of other men, but the result of their pride.

Some people mistake humility for weakness, but being humble doesn’t mean you’re weak; rather, it’s a strength of character. The Lord Jesus was the epitome of humility; but He wasn’t weak; at the same time, He wasn’t arrogant, rude, or conceited. The Bible says He made himself of no reputation, and humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross (Philippians 2:7-8 ). Even though He was so humble, He never allowed anyone talk Him down! He knew His identity and spoke openly about His relationship and authority with the Father. He dominated the circumstances of life. When He was brought before Pilate to be tried, He was in charge (John 19:11); yet He was very humble.God’s promotion for the humble is certain. Therefore, keep walking in humility, and you’ll find yourself being elevated several steps at once. Remember, a man’s pride shall bring him low, but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit (Proverbs 29:23).

Prayer  
Dear Father, I thank you for granting me more and more grace to excel in all my endeavours, as I walk in humility and meekness of spirit, demonstrating at all times the character and nature of Christ in me, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

Daily Scripture Reading

1 Year Reading Plan : Ephesians 4:1-16, Hosea 11-14
2 Year Reading Plan : John 1:24-34 1 Kings 2

Alwaystrue: I will really like people to go and read the whole chapters in Malachi which shows the where God spoke to the whole of Israel before the New testament scriptures.

He spoke about His messenger that would be coming to prepare the way. He spoke again about marriage about marriage and hating divorce, he spoke once again about bringing judgement on those who oppress the widows, orphans and workers (In other words, those that refuse to care for them)- there was even an OT judgement for those who don't give to the poor so it is not even about NT only.

He was against the levites for the things they did wrong and departed from Him. He spoke about people who vow one thing and do another. He talked about tithe and offering together. And was angry for the people that did not bring offerings. I want to correct the erroneous believe that that scripture was talking to the Levites because He spoke about the blessing 'NOT ALLOWING THE DEVOURER TO DESTROY THE FRUIT OF THEIR GROUNDS' AND 'THEIR VINES NOT CASTING THEIR FRUIT BEFORE ITS TIME IN THE FIELD' of which we know THE LEVITES DID NOT FARM. So the scripture was for the whole of Israel.

Then in Chapter 4, He told the Israelites not to forget His laws, statutes & judgements which He gave on Horeb in Exodus chapter 20 to chapter 24.

Now this is where it gets interesting:
God gave His commandments with His own voice in Exodus 20:1-17 and after that the people refused to hear His voice and begged Moses to continue lest they die. Then Moses started reeling out the judgements from Exodus chapters 21 to 23.

In chapter 24....see scriptures that showed what Moses did:

Exodus 24
3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the Lord hath said will we do.
4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars, according to the twelve tribes of Israel.
7 And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient .
8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words .

Now do these scriptures sound familiar to you:
Colossians 2:14
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross

Ephesians 2:15
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace

Are you looking for the ordinances contrary to us? Check the judgements (also called ordinances) in Exodus 21. Jesus had even started abolishing them while He was alive for He spoke in Matthew 5....eye for an eye and so on.
If you read the end of Exodus 23, you will see where God spoke about enemies from Exodus 23:22 and how the wall of enmity was already drawn right from then against the gentiles.
The handwriting of ordinances against us is that which Moses wrote and the people agreed to and Moses made a convenant with so it would stand against them as a judgement! The judgement in this sense is what happens to them when they disobey those ordinances. This is what Jesus took away nailing to the cross....The ordinances or judgement agaisnt them and please note that the 10 commandments was not part of this that was nailed.



Now the third chapter of Malachi, God spoke of tithes and offerings. Tithe was also given by Abraham prior to then. When Jesus came, He also commended both tithe and offering. Nowhere was this abolished, He even said it should not be left undone. Infact if you look at the laws Jesus spoke about, alot was relating to the ones His Father specifically gave and the ones regarding the mount of Horeb.
At Jesus death, He became our offering for sin/atonement so every offering that relate to sin and atonement (purifying) are no longer required because Jesus is the ultimate sacrifice.
Tithe & thank offerings or gifts were never to atone but in appreciation of what God has given them or yielded or gave to them. It is an appreciation of blessing to God and God still blesses again. So it if funny to tithe on a loan that was never yours or tithe on what you do not have to even give.
Paul himself gave alms and offerings in Acts 24:17 and referred to the tithes and offerings used in the ministry of the Levitical priesthood in I Corinthians 9.

He also raised an offering for poor saints in II Corinthians 9. Infact I noticed that people do not quote the whole chapter so I will just do that here:

II Corinthians 9:3-7
3 But I am sending these brothers to be sure you really are ready, as I have been telling them, and that your money is all collected. I don’t want to be wrong in my boasting about you. 4 We would be embarrassed—not to mention your own embarrassment—if some Macedonian believers came with me and found that you weren’t ready after all I had told them! 5 So I thought I should send these brothers ahead of me to make sure the gift you promised is ready. But I want it to be a willing gift, not one given grudgingly.

6 Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. 7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” [/b]
Paul had already boasted of their giving and did not want to be embarrased....and he also first said they that sow sparingly will reap sparingly. I have noticed this scripture is widely avoided by many. It seems they feel compelled when they see it to give.
Paul understood sowing and reaping using seeds and crops and could relate it easily to giving this welfare offering. However, many still do not understand that while the givings in the OT were of crops, their blessings were also related to crops. It is so strange that they cannot still put two and two together. And this giving was not of compulsion but remember God too had a judgement for those who did not care even for the needy per Malachi.

When Paul was speaking about how the ministry of the old were cared for by the tithes and offerings, He knew it was agric produce before He said it was the same principle that the Lord commanded in the new. And He was not talking of the poor in that chapter even though they are still required to give to the poor. In Hebrews 7 what He just showed was the priesthood had NOW changed from the Levites to the priesthood of Jesus Christ after the order of Melchisedek and the law that made ONLY Levites priest has been annulled. (Exodus 40:15)

In all, everything good thing is to be done in Faith and with a willing mind. NOTHING IS COMPULSORY, even giving to the poor or parents but at the end of the day, God is not mocked for what we sow is what we will reap. There is nothing to fear in that.

I am sorry for the long post but I had to just summarise my stand.
Thank you and remain blessed.

...Another tithe thread...

Why is it that anti tithers are the ones opening thread upon thread trying to disseminate their ideology of no to tithes?

I ask again if tithes have been done away with what of offerings?

And for you to teach prosperity which is in d gospel, you wud have first taught about salvation. Properity in the Gospel of Christ is for the saved (you get prosperity from hearing by the word of God and applying his principles of receiving). And hey, we can't keep dwelling on one thing all the time...imagine if you go to church every time and all the preacher has to say is damnation for sinners and hell and sin, whereas their is things in God that shd be taught to move the gospel faster.

Hebrews 6
Amplified Bible (AMP)
Therefore let us go on and get past the elementary
stage in the teachings and doctrine of Christ (the
Messiah), advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that belong to spiritual maturity. Let us not again be laying the foundation of repentance and abandonment of dead works (dead formalism) and of the faith [by which you turned] to God,
2 With teachings about purifying, the laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, and eternal judgment and punishment. [These are all matters of which you should have been fully aware long, long ago.]
3 If indeed God permits, we will [now] proceed [to
advanced teaching].



We shouldn't be dwelling on tithing issues all d time, if you don't want to tithe, fine...if you want to fine. We should be discussing mysteries and secrets in the bible for edification of the spirit man.

My opinion sha

And you still claim you are an atheist...keep deceiving yourself

A Fresh Purchase · Thursday, September 26th · 

Pastor Chris

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us (Hebrews 9:12).

The word "redemption" as used in our opening scripture is from the Greek, "lutrōsis," which means to ransom, deliver, save, or bring out of trouble. The Lord Jesus redeemed man from sin at the cross, and His blood became the currency with which He paid for the sins of the whole world. Then He was buried, and on the third day, God raised Him from the dead with a new life. Now, He gives eternal life to those who believe in Him.

Observe that the new creation is not the redeemed; he’s the fruit of Christ’s redemptive work on the Cross. Some people get confused when they study portions of the Scripture, where the new creation is described as "redeemed." For instance, in Revelations 5:9, the Bible says, "And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation." The word, "redeemed" is wrongly translated here; it’s from the Greek, ‘agorazo,’ which means to go to the market and make a purchase; to buy something as a gift to give to someone. It’s not a buy-back, as is the case with "lutrōsis," but a fresh purchase. Christ purchased us with His blood, and gave us as gifts to God.

Several translations actually give a proper rendering of that verse. The New International Version says, "... with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation." The Living Bible says, "…for you were slain, and your blood has bought people from every nation as gifts for God." You’re a gift, purchased for God by Jesus; He bought you with a price. This isn’t "lutrōsis"; this is "agorazo"; it’s a fresh purchase. Now, you belong to God. You’re not the person that was "delivered" from the devil when Jesus died on the cross; you’re a new creature, never delivered from the devil, but born superior to him by the second birth.

Prayer 
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus to die for me and shed His precious blood to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. I’ve thus become a new creation, free to live righteously and serve you joyfully, enjoying your divine presence, and living in your power and glory, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Is that Church still in existence? Yes.

Pls explain d above...how did you get to a conclusion with the first statement?

Abt the second statement,Hope you are not assuming Peter is the First Pope?


@OP Yes you must have a church you identify with, read ephesians 4 from verses 7 to 15...you have a pastor or teacher or whatever office Christ gave his church, and he did that for a purpose (gave you a pastor) for the equipping of the saints why? For the work of the ministry! So stick to a church, a good bible teaching church. Church changing does you no good at all

Your Life Is The Character Of Your Words · Wednesday, September 25th ·
Pastor Chris

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth (Proverbs 6:2).

There is a spiritual language for the Christian. That’s why, as a child of God, you ought to put the Word on your lips, because the supernatural life is based on your tongue. Your tongue rules your life. The Apostle James likened the tongue to the rudder of a great ship, which the captain uses to direct the ship wherever he wants (James 3:4-5).

In Matthew 12:36-37, Jesus said "But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." Literally, this means a man will go to heaven or hell because of what he said or didn’t say, with his tongue! Read the Apostle Paul’s words about salvation in Romans 10:8-10: "… if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

"Your life is the character of your words. If a man’s words are confusing, his life will be confusing as well. In the same vein, if your words are wholesome, your life will be wholesome: perfect, excellent, and inspiring! Proverbs 15:4 says, "A wholesome tongue is a tree of life…." Jesus taught that what you say, is what you get (Mark 11:23).

Watch what you say, for your confessions control your future. Proverbs 12:18 says, "There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health." You can keep yourself in health, safety, prosperity, and victory with your words. Talk faith, success, and increase! 1 Peter 3:10 says "For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile."

Prayer 
 Dear Father, thank you for teaching me about the power of my words. Through your Word, and by your Spirit, I’m training my tongue to speak only faithfilled words! I speak only life-giving words that are consistent with your will for my life, and I declare that my future is secure, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

She was gisting us
She has to wake in d morning bathe d one for sch prepare breakfast, and her hubby na banker, dey leave home early. Den she drive to drop d other at sch ( she actually said if not for the car, she would loose her sanity) then rush for Prof adewunmi's CS 404 by 8am, then d lil one in middle of class will now strt crying...she'd have to leave class maybe to feed or change nappy...no forget, lectures would carry on without her and at the end she didn't get d knowledge. Then she got a lil maid to hold d child, when d child cries, shd still have to go out and attend to d child (her baby can cry eh, no matter aw many litres of brest milk d mum breastfed her b4 entering d class. Then while coping with dat, any lecture by 12 is cancelled for her cos she has to drive n pick up d one in sch n come bck to sch with d child in d car or she would forget d rest class for that day. And so on

A Life Of Power By The Spirit · Tuesday, September 24th ·

Pastor Anita

But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8 ).

As Christians, we’re not ordinary people; we have a supernatural life of power. You received this extraordinary power when the Holy Spirit came into your life. The Lord Jesus said in our opening verse, "…ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…." What kind of power was He talking about, and what can we do with it?

The word "power" in this verse is translated from "dunamis" (Greek), and it means dynamic power or ability to cause or effect a change. It refers to miracleworking ability; the ability to make supernatural things happen; power and ability that’re beyond yourself! It refers to what we call a "doing-power," or "workingpower"; it’s sometimes translated, "might." It also means the power of excellence; the extraordinary ability to be efficient and effective in all that you do. This is the life we have in Christ—a life of superproductivity and ever-increasing glory!

We’re never to be victims in life. If you’ve found yourself in a predicament, a precarious or desperate situation, don’t cower; don’t give up! There’s something in you: the life and power of the Spirit to effect changes. You can change any unfavourable situation with this power in you. This is Christianity; it’s a life of dominion. You don’t need to go from place to place looking for help and seeking power, because the power to effect the changes you desire, lies within you.

Prayer
  Precious Holy Spirit, I appreciate you, and acknowledge your awesome power, presence and grace in my life! I’m confident of a greater tomorrow, and a day-to-day life of ever-increasing glory because you’re the one taking me by the hand, and leading me to fulfil God’s perfect will for me. Thank you for perfecting all that concerns me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

italo: God holds us to our thoughts. Yes or no.

Your thoughts are important while you pray...simple.

Ok you win...Nobody said your tots are not important while you pray..don't knw whr you got that from. What we saying is you shd not pray with your tots..your words are important

italo: FALLACY ALERT!!!



Matt 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

"IN HIS HEART!"

God holds us by our thoughts.

I knew you wud bring dat up
Open a thread and invite me in...let's not derail this one
You are delving into d concept of sin and why Jesus said that, to whom and how it affects us after his resurrection. Note, I'm not saying Jesus was wrong o or d line has been abolished. But let's stick to the topic

Your words are important while you pray...simple

italo: How do you listen to God when you are talking?

[s] The earlier you see Jesus as you lover and best friend, the better for you.

With your spouse, you dont have to talk to communicate with him/her. Sometimes you listen to them. Sometimes you just silently relish and contemplate their beauty and goodness...tell me you wouldnt get a message if you woke up to see your spouse next to you staring at you with obvious love. The difference is, you, as a human, would still as why he/she is staring. But God would already know the contents of his/her thoughts.

My friend, it seems that you are inexperienced in meditative prayer, from what you are saying.

We Catholics practise it a lot and can tell you more about it than you can tell us.[/s]

How did Jesus listen to God while he was talking? Remember he was in d garden praying, John was listening and the bible recorded that an angel came down and strengthened him....while he was still talking in prayer..John saw it, definitely Jesus must have heard/felt something, NO?

I cancelled d rest because its not sensible. If I tell my spouse I'd give her N50,000 if Chelsea beats Madrid, if chelsea beats madrid, I'm bounded to give her d money by just words...she can get very angry and so on. But if I tot abt it in my heart, she doesn't have a claim, does she?

Why do gamblers fight after a bet especially if the looser refused to pay up? Its simply because the other guy held him buy his words! Can you hold someone by his tots? Same thing with God, He holds you by your words whether they be good or evil words, not thought.

I told you meditation in the Bible is mutter under your breath...its a quieter form of speaking, a little louder than a whisper. It is not some form of inner thoughts

italo: Unfortunately, there are people among us who think that God who created the mind, heart, mouth & ear will not hear you until you speak your thoughts.

I just wonder why they limit God this way.

God needs your words...the words you speak are a witness for/against you for all eternity, whether they be good or evil. Your thoughts however are not, they only are when translated into action, whether the tots are good or evil. Haven't you heard that "you can't stop a bird from flying over your head, but you can stop it from making a nest"?

Jesus said by your word (not thoughts) you shall be condemned, and by your words (not thoughts) you shall be justified. He said you shall give account of every idle words (not thoughts) you SAY (not think). With the mouth (not mind) confession is made unto salvation. Y do you think God, Jesus, Paul were always critical about our words?

Why do you sing aloud? Why do your worship with songs aloud to your hearing? Why not go to church and do silent praise since God knows your tots and heart??
Why then is prayer diff?

I haf a busy day abeg...if you like you cn pray in your dreams since God knows your dream, wot ever rows your boat, do it.

Bye mates!

ijeoma100: What are you waiting for? Godot?

Haven't you ever heard of a silent prayer?

Or are you one of those who scream and shout at God when asking for His favour?

I see you can't answer the question...when Jesus wanted to raise Lazarus, why didn't he "think
that God who created the mind, heart, mouth & ear
will hear him not until he speak his thoughts."? (Funny assertion). Why didn't he do 'silent prayer"...why ?

Pray how ever you like sir...if you noticed, you'd see that I said praying in your mind is OK...just its prone to distractions. I now said praying out enough TO YOUR HEARING, your focus is on the spoken words to God...when you pray in your mind you focus is on what?

You agree with me that when you have a focus, you have less chances of distraction (not that they won't come o)...no?

ijeoma100: Prayer is communication with God. You don't have to speak - God knows our innermost thoughts.

It seems quite a few people who "say" their prayers in public...especially those who shout at the top if their voices...are not trying to communicate with the Almighty (who isn't deaf by the way), but rather to convince their fellow men that they're righteous.

Prayers spoken aren't more potent than prayers thought. All you need is faith.

Can you explain these for me?

How did you think John recorded Jesus' prayer in
John 17, if "God knows his innermost thoughts" ? Don't you think he was loud
enough for John to hear and record it? Or as you said was he trying to "convince his fellow men that he is righteous."?

How did luke record that Paul and Silas prayed and
sang while they were in Jail?...if it wasn't loud
enough for someone outside the jail to hear?

Wot of Hannah's prayer? Samson's? David's etc


I am waiting o

italo: @ Gombs,

Distraction will come to your mind whether you engage in vocal or meditative prayer.

With closed eyes (infact even with open eyes) and intent to pray..when uv said "I want to speak to God"...when you know you have an appointment with God, you can't be distracted, not that it won't come, you will just refuse to yield. But in your mind, you cn strt sleeping or start thinking of that movie or that poorly sewn clothes you are to wear for that wedding etc. You see that this is diff frm speaking out, where all your attention is on your words spoken...etc. Note meditation in d bible is not daydreaming or quiet inner thoughts.

1Peter 4v7 NLT
7 The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers.

tedimola: That's 4 now bro!!!! So, savor it while it lasts!!!

Oh! I will

BTW I smell jealousy

Sirniyeh: keep shut. Prove your assertion. Define prayer. Stop postulating erroneous theory that you can not prove.
Meditation is the best form of prayer. It means engaging your spiritman into spiritual action. Opening mouth to pray is illusion

How did you think John recorded Jesus' prayer in John 17, if he were 'meditating'(by your assertion n definition of meditation)? Don't you think he was loud enough for John to hear and record it?

How did luke record that Paul and Silas prayed and sang while they were in Jail?...if it wasn't loud enough for someone outside the jail to hear?

Wot of Hannah's prayer? Samson's? David's etc

Meditation is from the greek word 'hagah' in the Bible
And it means mutter under your breath. Such meditation is not mere quietness or daydreaming, but is thoughtfulness with a purpose--to SPEAK to urself "all that is written therein."-the bible

Opening mouth to pray is an illusion?

Pls explain d above!

@Op, praying in your mind is ok, but you tend to get distracted by your inner thoughts, when you are in your closet or gathering of brethren, pls do pray out to your hearing.
