We can only receive the Power of the Holy Spirit, not the Holy Spirit Himself.

.

And you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.

Power comes when after the Holy Spirit comes

Use your 'gift' for the betterment of Nigeria. A fantastically religious country, but yet, one of the most fantastically corrupt countries in the world. I think there has to be a point in time in the near future when courageous Nigerians need to declare that religion is as problematic to Nigeria as corruption is. The most religious people in Nigeria are also the most corrupt. Poverty is m pervasive amongst the so-called working-class that they use religion to 'subsidize' and rationalize
Religion has made Nigerians cowards in their own skin.
In other countries, when their citizens are tpushed to the wall, their citizens rebel either via the ballot box or via citizen unrest. In Nigeria, when the average Nigerian is pushed to the wall, he/she will grab hold of the nearest shovel and burrow deeper into the wall because 'it is well'.

Sir, get your point, view my thread, it answers your question,

About Nigeria being corrupt, that doesn't have to do with Christianity. As a pastor or world health organization, you can preach or warn people about the right thing or smokers die young but they have a role to play, we warn, no enforcement. Nigeria can warn against smuggling and preach smuggling is bad to the economy, this one, that one, but the moment there are no custom officers, tell me, considering the past recession, who would adhere. Yea, my thread..

benosky:

darnley16:
indoctrinated minds everywhere, they only run to Christ when they feel they've failed in life and believing Christ loves them gives them this sense of well being,God is not even a name but a Title , Jesus wasn't the messiahs name if he did exist as J was only added to the English alphabet 400years ago , I wonder this 'Jesus' who responds and changes you when you don't even know his name

.
Are you still a Christian

Emily22:
Nothing.. Just nothing

translux:

Kellydgreat:
Wait let me check if I have recieved the holy spirit.

.

Sorry ma, I think you should change church, of course I know you will find it ridiculia, but I speak Gods word and you being depends on it

MhizzAJ:
We wouldn't ve been in existence if there was no Adam and Eve..so there would ve been no need for Jesus nah

.

Sis, I will say I will need to follow you up, I want Gods best for you, if you want that, kindly spend more time viewing my thread and be proud and ready for the persecution. I will put you in prayers.

I pray you will find Jesus as your first


Matthew 5:3-12

pls no one should quote me, except I mentioned you

Many God strengthen you with knowledge to know what the Spirit wants for the disciples and giving it to them. Shalom

I believe the folks that viewed, just were not bold enough to stand the persecution. An average thread has about 12,034 views and a dumber thread has more views than a Christian thread. Unless, its to criticize, they are very forward to that. But don't cave in bro, by the way, the bests of Christians are not in NL, 0.031 percent of the Nigerian serious minded Christians are not on NL. Looooool. see, I love my freedom, but we need to call to remembrance, the word of our Lord, how He said as He did in Gestemani. Pray

Get what God is saying about your thread

Pray for labourers, I think that's the best we can offer the world. Spirited labourers

The harvest is plentious and the God kind of labourers are not the labourers we think.

Ops, I believe if you are sensitive enough, you will see the need to spend time in intercession

4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.

3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

CatfishBilly:
How old was Adam when God created him
A simple question. e?
Let's all have a civil discussion, please.

God created man in Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. (inner man)

Then God having created spiritual adam, gave Adam shape and form in Gen2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.(outward man)
The time inbetween, unknown

2 corinth 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

If Adam n even born Cain n Abel
who them gave birth to Cain wife?

Adams daughter

Martinez19:
A lady came to benny hinn's church, she thought that God had healed her of cancer, she went on to benny hinn's alter and benny hinn prayed for her and gave her microphone to testify. She stopped using her drugs and she died weeks later. She was survived by her husband and four little daughters. With the doctors, she would have survived. Why didn't the holy spirit tell benny hinn that the woman wasn't heal? Especially, when she came to the alter and was handed a microphone by benny hinn. She is not the only one.

Benny hinn said Fidel Castro will die in the '90s. He claimed that was what the holy spirit told him. In benny hinn's church, those that are truly sick, disabled or amputated are not allowed to go near benny hinn neither do they get filmed by the church's o. The miracles are perfectly staged and participants are carefully selected. Oyakhilome does this too. There are many things I could still say about benny hinn.

All these I learnt from YouTube. His fellow business men and women include: td jakes, joyce meyer, ea adeboye, paula white, joel osteen and his wife, creflo dollar, leroy thompson, jesse duplantes, ed young, steven furtick, hill song etc. YouTube have their videos exposing them.

Well, I won't say anyone is right or wrong. Thanks for the piece of information. Thanks

Isn't it surprising that it was when persecution was loudest, that islam grew

alBHAGDADI:
Your deceitfulness knows no bound.


bring the original verse here. Now, you've gone further to try to explain the verse, albeit you purpose lied against the Quran just to cover up the deception in Islam.


Arberry : When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, 'I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers' hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them!'

Are you ex Muslim?

Juliojoe:
Pls can you kindly explain what you mean. I want to learn

f
He's an athiest, wrong person to ask such question

Martinez19:
Go and check first. The evidences are there. Check first. HopefulLandlord would laugh at the mention of benny hinn because we both know that he is a dangerous fake. I repeat, check it out.

..

Okay, no much data, could you explain why you said so

Martinez19:
Benny hinn is a dangerous fraud. Check him out on YouTube.

Before you start a read, I will admonish you to view the thread above to better understand this verse

haven set this foundation, I will commence a commentary on 1 Corinthians 14. Thanks

The thread continues here, link below

www.nairaland.com/4042635/first-corinthians-fourteen-letter-church

It has become tradition, where the Holy Ghost through Paul happens to be address a particular circumstance from the judgement or orderliness in the church point of view. For instance, 1 corin 5 is a judgemental verse, and 1 Corinthians 14 is a corrective measure of bringing order to a church, not a person, we must be able to know when a portion of Paul's letter is addressing the church or addressing an erring act in the church and to be sincere, 1 Corinthians 14 is a corrective verse, written to bring order to the church gathering, rather than a personal standpoint, so if you happen to interpreted 1 Corin 14 from a personal or individualist angle, you might misunderstand the entire chapter.


#Shalom

I felt the above post was lengthy, but lemme continue, Paul wrote some letters to address specific situation in the church, if you look at first Corinthians, we see
Paul addressing some specific things in the Church of Corinth as the Lord inspires Paul to write. For instance, chapter 5 talks about addressing situations related to fornication in the church of Corinth, in 1 Corinthians 7, Paul emphatically said, see the bolded,

1 corin 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:

brb

Paul wrote more than half of the New Testament under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. You won't have expected that a book fall from the sky or so, but Holy men were stirred to speak while others write. 1 corin 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

Paul said right here that he has received by inspiration that which he gave to them, and Paul charged Timothy that that which he gave to him, let him also commit or teach unto men who would teach others. 2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Jesus said in Mark 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. So, if I give you a message, the message is not for the Jew or middle east folks, but for all, and we all know the admonition of Jesus, how He said both in Matthew28:19, Mark16:15-18 and Acts 1:8 that the gospel must be preached in every habitable environment or settlement.

Halleluhia, praise the Lord, so let's start. Understanding Paul, who's Paul, well, Paul said I labour than all the apostles, but that's by the way. 1 Corin 15:10, but that's by the way, I'm not magnifying Paul, don't be too hasty. Yea, understanding Paul, I guess from the above write up, we can see that Paul's teachings are meant for everyone.

Yea, Paul wrote most of the New testament and the Holy Spirit through Paul said. Romans15:4, that whatever things that were written, were written for our learning, that we might have hope, see Romans 10:14, knowledge brings faith and faith brings hope and strength.

I have noticed many people misquote Paul or Paul's intent while writing his letters, so they use the right verse for the wrong scenerio, and Peter shed a little light about that in 2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

I continue later
