Reward for your work - Friday, February 10

Pastor Chris

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister (Hebrews 6:10).

Everything you do or sacrifice for the sake of the Gospel isn’t only recorded (Malachi 3:16), the Lord also rewards you for it. So, you can imagine my joy decades ago, when the Lord showed me our theme verse. I had been told I was wasting my time; I had been told I was being foolish for preaching the Gospel and holding crusades in remote villages. I wondered if God really cared about what I was doing, but then I saw this verse and wept for joy. I praised, screamed, worshipped and made a jig for joy.

There’re times you’re about the Lord’s work and there seem to be persecutions from all angles. And then it’s as though you’re wasting your time, and wasting your life; at such times, always remember that God isn’t unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love. He’ll reward you for all that you do, and have done, in the propagation of the Gospel. He knows and will reward you for all your prayers for souls to be saved, your financial contributions to the spread of the Gospel, your personal evangelical efforts to win souls to Christ, and all your sacrifices.

What sacrifices have you made for Christ and the Gospel? It could be your time, money, family, friends and relationships you gave up, whatever it is, God hasn’t forgotten. Your blessing isn’t deferred until you get to heaven. It begins here on earth: “…Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life…” (Mark 10:29-31).

Your reward isn’t far ahead; it’s closer than you think; be confidently assured that He’ll reward you in due time. Whatever you’re doing for the Lord, keep at it. You’re never a fool for your devotion to Christ. Others may call you so, but not God. So, keep riding on with the Lord, spreading His glory in your world, and in the regions beyond.

Prayer...
I thank you blessed Lord, for the privilege and opportunity to participate in the propagation of the Gospel. I’m even more overjoyed knowing that all my services and sacrifices, in and for the Kingdom, are not in vain! I fan aflame my commitment, passion, devotion, contributions, and efforts, towards the expansion of your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Over 3000 religions and gods
And u believe yours is the supreme religion
Issokay.
Just enjoy life, life is too short to be following fairy tales

Christianity is NOT a religion. IN religion, you try to get to God, it's only in Christianity you find God trying to get to man.

Religion is man's product to connect to God, Jesus already did so. He's our mediator, NO one gets to the Father, except through Him.

He's the way (not "a way" ), the truth (not "a truth" ) and the life (not" a life" )

1 Peter 4:18 ISV
18 “If it is hard for the righteous person to be saved, what will happen to the ungodly and sinful person?”


That's a food for thought

Hebrews 2 KJV
3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?

Ranchhoddas:
Clown. You don change am to RCCG.

No need being insulting when you've been caught lying. Zionmade has always said it was RCCG

zionmade:

And must d leaders welcome him b4 u categorize the countries as backward?
Did u also hear dat in d last crusade hosted by RCCG in UK Cameron spoke for over 15mins.
Now bro quietly term uk as backwards since they can troop out in mass to listen to a brain washer

You sure you don't have reading and/or comprehension issues? If you do, all I need do is lay hands on you and cast somethings out.

emmayayodeji:
My story

Its simple
There's no god,
Most Nigerian pastors know this
But dey still exploit gullible Nigerians

Don't worry, someday, you'd stand in front of Jesus, and you'd believe, but no excuse of yours will be good enough.

Shalom

donnie:
These are the days of His power..They havent seen anything yet.

Yesterday's meeting was ehn!


I just entered Christianity 2.0

dhardline:
OK... Sorry but Your interpretations are off course.

If you doubt me then kindly explain to me why the apostles also suffered and most of them were

killed except for John? And not to talk of the early Christians who were greatly persecuted,or

didn't Christ suffer for them too or did they not understand this truth you talk about and if you say

they didn't then does it mean they were not saved and have perished?

Sorry, I didn't get your question. Mind rephrasing?

petra1:
Seun and others need to hear this. Awesome testimony I've read Pat Boone materials in the early 90s . To now hear that pastor Chris got her out of wheel chair right in the presence of Benny HINN. What other proof do we need of the healing power of God.

Don't worry... The church will shake this world.. Whether they (Seun and co) believe in miracles or not.

Ranchhoddas:
And there was no video. BBC could not even do a piece on it. Nothing. Bros you can lie o.

---

I am not surprised though, one of you once lied on this forum that the Queen would attend your pastor's programme. Make una continue dey deceive unaselves okay.

If I find you evidence of Cameron in that rccg program, would you promise to deactivate in return?


No need sef, you'd simply change story if I supply the video.

Go to Google and type

"UK Prime Minister David Cameron Attends RCCG Festival Of Life "

... And put your ignorance to rest.

Ranchhoddas:
Shatap you bloody liar. Cameron ko. Camera ni!

Cameron actually did, just like Trump will visit Pastor Chris' meeting someday or invites Pastor Chris to the White house.


Quote me anywhere. Jesus made it so.

You have to understand what God speaks to the priest not to the King, when he wants to bless the nation.

Square Up To Challenges - Thursday, February 9th

Pastor Chris

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations (James 1:2).

There’re some Christians who, even though they’ve been born again for a long time, still love to be “babied.” When facing challenges, rather than squaring up to those challenges by putting their faith to work, they go seeking prayers and encouragement. They like to hear such words as, “Don’t worry; God is going to turn your worst into your best, and make a way where there seems to be no way.” But that’s not good enough.

Don’t stay at the level where you’re always being pulled up; always looking for someone to encourage you, hoping that everything would work out for your good. Square up to the problem! The Bible says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). Romans 8:35-37 declares, “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.”

You’re more than a conqueror; you’re a victor in Christ Jesus; no circumstance or situation can overwhelm you, because you’re born to win, reign and rule over circumstances. It’s your heritage in Christ Jesus. So, stop asking God to make the challenges go away; He’s not going to make them go away, because they’re for your promotion. That’s why He says, “Count it all joy when you go through diverse tests.”

You’re in God’s army; you can’t afford to be a sissy. Face challenges and win. He knows you’ll come out unscathed. He already declared, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee” (Isaiah 43:2).

Don’t pray to God to protect you from the devil; you’re superior to the devil. The devil and all his demons are under your feet. So, square up; win, reign, and rule your world every day with the Word.

Prayer...
Dear Father, I count it all joy when tests and challenges come my way. I remain joyful irrespective of contrary situations and circumstances, for I’m assured that the story has already been told, the end determined, and my testimony of victory assured in the Word. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Hebrews 5:12-14
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.

emmayayodeji:
Oh cool
Am also an atheist
Was a former Christian
So there is no "truth"

So y'all say... It'd hit y'all in a heartbeat.

By the way, What's your story?

petra1:
It was a popular account those days after the meeting . I met many of them who attended they confirm the experience .

Question is How many of them read your thread?

Good question. Make no mistake Seun, nairaland isn't as popular as you think... Some of the fellas who attended has never heard of nairaland. Epic!

Seun:
Dorox's account is the only claimed eyewitness account that we have so far. I believe him more than I believe Pastor Chris, for sure. If smoke really came out of the ground, someone who wants to prove that Pastor Chris is not a liar should've gotten an eyewitness account by now.

So, the absence of proof is your proof for absence?

Did you call the guy? He said alot of things happened that night, he was under the power for minutes before recovering. He got up and every where was as if there was a stampede... He however didn't speak on the smoke, but he did hear about it.

Dorox didn't say these, did he?

Yes, I can take semen to any lab to have the sperm cells examined. This is how a low sperm counts are diagnosed. I can also buy a microscope. Numerous scientists and science students can testify that they have seen the sperm cells. The same can't be said of Pastor Chris' smoke.

How many million actually?

The woman has lung cancer which spread to her bones. Pushing her back when she couldn't and wouldn't resist the push is no achievement.

You've grown past this o, Seun.

Seun:
The woman was dying and in great pain, and all he had to offer her were false claims of healing and being pushed to the ground. Twice.

Seun, would you want to attend the Healing School session in south Africa?

Maybe you'd believe when you meet a rendezvous of broken humanity throng the facility FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

Yeah.. They get healed, but of course not all (a factor dependent on the person being healed or wanting healing)


The session is from March till April.

emmayayodeji:
are u an atheist?

Yeah.. But he's one seeking the "truth"... He's going to collide with Jesus someday.

Seun:
Till date we have not been able to find anyone who can confirm the story of smoke coming from the ground and from the sky/ceiling and enveloping the hall, or the claim that every person who was sick was healed. Doesn't it make sense to conclude that Pastor Chris simply lied?

Smart fella ... Did you call the guy? Or you believed dorox?

Have our been able to prove that there are millions of sperm cells in a teaspoonful of semen? Did it make sense to you to conclude that whoever wrote that simply lied?

Of course it didn't cross your mind.

I've found the part of the video where Pastor Chris apparently healed people who were deaf in one ear by casting out the demon of deafness. And also the part where he called out a woman dying of lung and bone cancer and "healed" her by pushing her to the ground as she cried.

Hahahahahahahahahahabahahaha

Have you tried pushing some deaf fellow to the ground too? Maybe it's easy as you made it look (pushing her to the ground )

One day, you'd need a miracle, God will hand you one because He's full of grace and mercy.

Till then... Cheers

Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow (1 Peter 1:10-11).Are

I've often wondered why people go through terrible difficulties for a protracted period of time. Someone might argue that it's due to the severity of their situation; no! For the most part, it's due to their ignorance of the Word of God, which results in their inability to appropriate the vital realities of Christ's substitutionary work to their personal lives.

The Bible talks about the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow (1 Peter 1:11). Christ already suffered: His vicarious death and triumphant resurrection paved the way for a life of glory for all of God's children. There's absolutely no reason for any Christian to suffer in life, except by choice or ignorance of God's Word.

It's important that we get to know the Word of God in truth, and live by the vital realities of His Word. Part of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in your life is to make the Word of God that has been consummated in the redemptive plan of God real in your life. He makes all that Christ came to do, in His substitutionary work, real in your life; He brings you into the vital experience of it, not just the legality.

Let me explain it this way: everybody in the world has actually been legally saved; as far as God is concerned, every human being is saved. However, until, and unless, someone accepts that salvation, it will not be a vital truth or reality, and as a result, he'll never experience the salvation that Christ brought to him. He may go to hell, not because of his sins, but because he didn't know or accept the truth of salvation that was made available to him in Christ.

In the same way, when you're in Christ, you must recognize, accept, and endorse the blessings of salvation that the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ has consummated for you in order for them to become vital realities in your life.

Express His life and nature everywhere - Wednesday, February 8

Pastor Chris

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:23-24).

The Amplified version of our opening scripture says, “And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God’s image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:23-24). As one who’s born again, you have a new life and a new nature; it’s the life and nature of God. You were recreated in righteousness and true holiness, to express the will and nature of the Father; the power has been deposited in your spirit.

Your spirit was recreated in the likeness of God. In other words, you were created to be like Him, and to function like Him; it’s thus possible for you to express His will and nature, His life and divine attributes that are in your spirit, to your world.

In every matter, in every place, at every event, give vent to His righteousness. In anything that you’re involved in, give expression to the will and nature of the Father; bear testimony by your life, actions and words, to the character of God! Express God everywhere you go.

You’re His expression and extension to your world; Hallelujah! So, manifest His glory. Express His virtues and perfections. This has always been the Father’s dream: to express Himself fully through you. He already blessed you and made you a blessing; now He seeks to bless the world through you. Only through you can He show forth His goodness, grace, wisdom, and excellence to the world. The natural or unregenerate man can’t know who God is until they meet you.

Make it your life’s dream that through the Holy Spirit, everywhere you are, you’ll manifest Christ; you’ll manifest the God-life. Let Him laugh, smile, bless and touch the world through you.

Confession...
I’ve been recreated in true righteousness and holiness; in the very image and likeness of God. I’m walking and living in my new nature, giving vent to the will and nature of the Father, establishing His righteousness in my world. His glory, excellence, wisdom and goodness are expressed through me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Treasures in the midst of adversities - Tuesday, February 7

Pastor Chris

But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries (1 Corinthians 16:8-9).

The Apostle Paul, in the scripture above acknowledged that a great and effectual window of opportunity was open to him for ministry in Ephesus. Howbeit, it was an opportunity in the midst of adversities. He was sensitive enough in his spirit not to see the opportunity alone; he saw the many adversaries as well. It’s like finding a treasure amongst thorns and thistles; and in a sense, that’s a trap. If you must take that treasure, you must then know what to do with the adversaries.

The adversaries that Paul referred to weren’t just negligible enemies; they were ferocious! When he recounted his experience later, he said, “For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life” (2 Corinthians 1:. Then in 1 Corinthians 15:32, he said he fought with beasts in Ephesus: “If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus….”

The experience was life-threatening, but by yielding to the leading and guidance of the Spirit, he prevailed. Paul preached and taught the Word with such intensity and passion in Ephesus, and the Bible records specifically that the Word of God grew mightily in Ephesus, and prevailed (Acts 19:20). There’s much for us to learn in our Christian walk to help us achieve the things God has planned for us, and to live the life of glory and victory that He’s given us. But you’ve got to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit at all times. He gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us in all of life’s affairs.

Before you take up that job, or go into that business, or take that major step, let Him guide you and show you the future of whatever you’re getting into. Pray in tongues fervently, because lurking around that treasure could be adversities. But as you fellowship with the Spirit, He’ll guide you to identify possible adversities—pitfalls, barricades, or troubles—and navigate you through them triumphantly.

Confession...
The Lord is my refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble! He lives in me and guides me to overcome all the way. Irrespective of the adversities, challenges and contrary winds, my heart is stayed on the Lord who is my rock and fortress, my protection, and salvation. I walk in victory, and in the dominion of the Word today. Hallelujah!

2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal.

People deceiving people.
All hail the liars

You're the Father of all lies like your granddaddy the devil.

You remember your thread of lies corroborated by Seun, who refused to acknowledge you lied even after undeniable facts are laid bare.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

ibinaboonline:
Yeah, fire burns leaves too but it failed to do so when Moses saw a burning bush.

They'd say it's because it's in your fairytale book.

Leave these guys till they meet Jesus someday. They'll have some serious explanations to do, which however nice it is, will never be sufficient.

dorox:
I have just spoken to Bro Kunle, he said that though a lot of miracles happened on that day he can't remember any incidence involving smoke emanating from the ground or elsewhere.

1. Why should I believe you?

2. How did you ask the question?

3. 'Not remembering' isn't same as it never happened

petra1:
I came in 1991 and heard from people who were there. I can get them to come respond. Also somebody here said it's a smoke machine . That can't be true . We used our first ever smoke machine in badagry about 10years later in ASCON badagry . One of our senior pastor !pastor TT even joked about it. Saying something like " for those of you who had been eager to see smoke we talked about ,come and see smoke o" he laughed then said this one is a machine smoke "

There's one BRO Kunle who was there . He was my senior in school .hes no longer in our ministry . He used to sing . His response will be objective "for or against" his line 08060883772. I wanted to ask him to come an register so that he could give his version but his line was off. I checked on WhatsApp and saw that he was online yesterday. So I haven't talked with him yet . Anyone can try later

Seun will still not believe... He never planned to

Well, Seun... I hadn't joined the ministry then, but I believe him, why?

Because he's yet to lie to me, and I don't see any reasons why he'd lie to millions watching. But, I can mail you a catalogue of healing school videos, or a miracle compilation DVD

The thing is, you'd still not believe. By the way, Benny Hinn will be in Lagos on the 9th till 11th. If you wish to attend, holla me.

brocab:
Of course you can tithe in peace-but just don't tell the world about it.

Come stop me!

MuttleyLaff:
At the least it was the joagbaje ID, if it wasnt you personally who registered a ''like'' to that post
Make sure you select ''Logout (All)'', next time, any of your internet devices are not being attended to by you

Who ''likes'' epp sef. Nobaga
Which means, no one is bothered about ''likes'' on posts
The ''like'' on the particular post is a non-issue.

The issue was about the manner and how the ''like'' was registered on the post,
it was ''liked'' to give that particular post an unfair advantage
and done out of the need for acceptance and validation to Petra1's post saying:
''Tithe on your business. I have a multimedia outfit. The company tithes.
And when get my pay still I personally give my own tithe apart from the company tithe''



The weight of the evidence is overwhemingly stacked against the joagbaje ID
It would have gone unnoticed if I wasnt present on the thread, reading posts
The joagbaje ID is culpable because if the only other logged in muttleylaff ID didnt register the ''like'', then the joagbaje ID must have

The fact and truth is that this particular post had the, so far one and only ''like'' registered on it using the joagbaje ID

Anyway, reiterating, next time, sign out of any Nairaland account using ''Logout (All)'' feature
this will prevent people from using the ID to perform unauthorised actions on all unattended internet devices

It's a shame you can't call Seun to verify if he has ever used his moniker to like any of his post on this thread. He is the one making you the offer o,

All these long stories aren't helping, except of course your band of nattering nabobs of anti-tithing


The above bold makes me certain that you've lost the plot a long time ago.

Weight of evidence ko, Mass of evidence ni

MuttleyLaff:
When things aren't going their way on this thread, there have been quite a few "throwing one's toys out of the pram" and threats to ''spit out dummies''

Why should anyone be like me? What are you like

plainbibletruth, see it here, he is just done it again (i.e. used the slander word)

Two logged-in users A and B, with no Guests, were on a thread, reading posts
Logged in user B had a particular post with no ''likes'' registered on it
Still with no Guests viewing the thread, user B logged out
User C, now logged in to the thread, and joined logged in user A still reading without any Guests
Soon after without any Guests reading the thread, a ''like'' pops registered on this User's B particular post
Now if, without anyone else logged in but only User A and User C logged in
and there is a ''like'' registered on this particular post with only User A and User C viewing the thread
If using process of elimination, and User A didnt register the ''like'' on this particular post, then who else is left to have registered the ''like'' on the particular post?

Dont people have scruples anymore, someone is caught with the hand in the cookie jar
and here you are blindly jumping to their defence and calling it petty. SMH.

Can you simply ask admin to verify? All this your lying and defending it makes you loose credibility.

brocab:
Don't you know bro-their tithing message is not scriptural.

Junia... I think this settles your question.

Can I tithe in peace now?
