I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. (Nehemiah 1:6)

It is one thing, beloved, for us to get a kind of public concern about things and then begin to make a great noise about it amongst men; to advertise, to demonstrate, and to give it a public form in utterance and effort and organization; to join ourselves to some cause, or to join some cause to ourselves, and then in that cause to make a great big affair of it: that is one thing. And that may have all manner of elements which just fall short of that which is essential and necessary from the Lord's standpoint. It is one thing to come to a situation from the outside, and link ourselves on with it, and take it up, and make it our work for life, our life-interest; it is quite another thing for the Lord to put into our hearts, in secret, an almost unbearable, intolerable burden which is His own heart-burden, and for us first of all to bear that thing secretly in the presence of God upon our hearts in a deep out-pouring of travailing prayer; quite another thing to come to the Lord's interests in that way.

There are plenty of people whom you could get interested in a cause; whom you could get to take up a piece of work requiring help, but it is another thing to have that spiritual fellowship with God which results in God putting His travail into your own soul. The difference is that in the one instance the thing is something objective; we come along and interest ourselves in it, take it up; but it is apart from us. It has our interest, it has our energy, it has our resources, but it is something objective to ourselves. It is a piece of work, a movement, a testimony – using that word in a technical sense. The other thing is this: before the Lord we take responsibility. Do you notice that "we" in chapter 1, verse 6? Nehemiah is a part of this and this is a part of him. You notice how, all the way through, in dealing with this matter he uses the word "we." He is apart from the whole thing, that is, he has not accepted the conditions; he is not responsible for the state of things; he certainly repudiates the whole thing, and does not for one moment agree with it, and yet he is in this thing as though he were responsible for it; as though God could lay it all at his own door. The thing has come so near to his own heart that he does not stand here and the situation there, but he finds himself as one with it. It is his own burden, and he takes the thing in responsibility upon his own shoulders before God in prayer, and prays vicarious prayer over this situation.

True talk brother

Thanks bro.
People must know the truth that its only by the name Jesus Christ that one can be saved.

God in all His fullness was pleased to live in Christ. (Colossians 1:19 NLT)

Do not take these as just words. Do understand that in every fragment there is this truth: In the dispensation in which you and I are now living God has come to us in all His fullness. There is no more to be added. In His Son we have the absolute fullness of God, and it is out of that fullness that He speaks to us in His Son. God has only one Son in that sense – His only-begotten Son, which means that there is no one to come after Him. Therefore, God's last word is in His Son. The Son brings both the fullness and the finality of God. It is that which gives the solemnity to this whole Letter. It says: "If you fail to hear the voice of the Son there will never be another voice for you. God is never going to speak by another voice. God hath spoken in His Son, and He is never going to speak by any other means." Hence this Letter contains this word of warning and of exhortation: "Because this is the fullness and this is the end, be sure that you give heed...." To come into touch with the Lord Jesus is more than coming into touch with a teaching: it is coming into touch with a living, active Person. "It is God with whom we have to do." It is a glorious thing to come into touch with God in Christ – but it says here that "it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" (Hebrews 10:31). No, it is not a book, a teaching, a philosophy: it is a living, positive, powerful Person....

Perhaps this is just like a window opened into heaven. If you get the right window you can see quite a lot. You can see great things and you can see far things. But the best that I can hope is that this has just opened a window, and that as you look through it you are seeing one thing – how superior is Jesus Christ to all else, and how superior is the dispensation into which we have come, and how superior are all the resources at our disposal to all that ever was before!.

The result of sin is death.we are Graced with a substitute(our Lord taken our place in death) but they (angels) don't have that privilege.

My Father and my Lord I thank you for everything you have done in the past and still doing now in my life and that of my family lineage in Jesus name amen.
Thank you JESUS

The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein,
Psalm24:1

Betscoreodds:
He actually preaches that human being Righteousness is more powerful than Jesus Christ Righteousness and that man's Righteousness comes before Christ Righteousness
If you try to correct him he won't learn
He does not know that Christ Righteousness is actually a gift which birth man's Righteousness

He has been tagged
My problem isn't him but the viewers.
People should stop feeding others what they don't even know.
If he wants to continue in his 'Is' or self righteousness he should, but dragging others with him,that's my problem with him.

The Grace Gospel started on the day of Pentecost and not in the book of Matthew, Mark,Luke,n John.as u assumed.
We all should continue to sit at His feet n learn more before we act.
A baby that's wants to run before crawling will never get it.

1MinuteWithTina:
How do you/does he know he has the gift of prophecy if it isn't manifesting?

Nobody is talking about prophesying here.any believer can do that when lead by the Spirit.
Am talking about the prophetic ministry.

Truvelisback:
Ask Me Questions Regarding Spiritual Gifts Or Ministeries.

Hmmm
So I have a brother that asked me these ?? But I gave him unconvincing answers,which I knew too.regarding his ministry.
He has the gift of a prophet and also that of a teacher but the formal isn't manifesting after 8years now. Why?
U can lie to him,he knows d scripture well enough not to be deceived.
I told him his time will come just as that of Moses.
Ur veiew n contribution will help.
Thanks

Hi QP
You have to partake in midnight prayers.as a believer u have to stand on the ground of Resurrection and declare what Christ has done for u and in u.
Secondly you have to give a Thanksgiving offering in a good Church. (Make sure the offerings are majorly foodstuff with life chicken or goat if u have money for goat better)
The thanksgiving must be done yearly.
Take care

Amen bro

There's nothing like Prophetic office.
Even the school of prophets initiated by Samuel resulted in breeding fasles prophets.
A prophetic ministry is personified,its not something you work in and later resigns or workout.its who you are.

Praise God

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

God does not tell us what He is doing when taking us through dark experiences. If He did, it would be all right. If He said, "I am going to lead you into a bad time, it is all going to be dark and strange and perplexing and bewildering and helpless, but it is all right, I am working a tremendous thing, this is what I am going to bring out of it," if He said that, the faith element would fade out. If only He would tell us He is doing something, and what He is doing, instead of leaving us in the dark and seeming to be so far away and without any interest in us! If only! Ah yes, but He did not do that, and we know He does not do that, He does not explain. But here is the challenge.

This is what is meant by Hebrews 11 and the men of faith, that is what it means. And thank God we have the heritage, we have a great heritage, we have more than they had. These men did not have a Bible, it was not written when they were going through it. We have their story and so many more. We see the issue, we have the sequel, but is it really helping us? When you are having a bad, dark time and feel that all has gone wrong, read the story of Joseph again... starting on it you will not want to put it down. Take its great lessons. The God of Joseph is our God and He is doing the same thing, and we know that that is true to life. What I have been saying is so true to life. We have that evidence. That, at any rate, is very much like my experience, and therefore I have reason to think and believe that the same thing is involved. The God of resurrection is working this to glory.

pstemma1990:
ok sir, thanks for the advice.

My brother see.you don't have to go to any so called church for ur deliverance.u can do it on ur own expect directed by His Spirit to do otherwise.
1.start midnight prayers on ur market days (u can start it with fasting because some spirits are very stubborn) NB make sure its the daybreak of ur market day.
2.whatsoever ur grandmother used in serving the idols as u pray by midnight denounce them all(u must name everyone of them) before rejecting them by standing on the ground of Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
U must remind them that when Christ died 2000yrs ago u(ur full name) died in Him,when He Resurrected 3days later ,u resurrected in Him and when He ascended to Heavens and was filled with all powers,authority, glory n honour u were in Him.
So by His ground of Resurrection u now stand all there powers are beneath ur foot.
NB again u have to continuously remind them who u are in Christ n upon His ground of Resurrection u can destroy n subdue there works in ur life.
3.the market days is every 4days
So do the fasting and midnight prayer every of ur market day in ur village. For seven market days .
4.look for an elderly male/female that's a good Christian(65-75 +) buy a life animal (chicken etc ) and yams/rice or both pray over it and give it to him/she or both let them pray for you.

You don't to travel or start looking for solution anywhere when you are the solution itself.

Gal2:20
Pslm10:8
Mat10:8
1cor1:30
