Bro pls,pls and please tell them oo.
Christainity has been bastardized in Nigeria,
The most painful aspect is the educated ones,they will never study the Word,but depend on someone not qualify to lace there shoes to dictate there life for them.John1:27

God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6 NIV)

The principle of the New Covenant is a first-hand individual revelation of Christ as the knowledge of God in terms of glory in the heart of the believer. Every individual believer only comes into true Christianity by a revelation of Christ in his or her heart, so that the knowledge of Christ is all their own, and as real as when God commanded light to shine in darkness. But that is not all. That shining must be PROGRESSIVE. Christ is far too vast to be seen in more than minute degrees at any one time. The bulk of the New Testament is taken up with getting Christians to see what an immense realm it is into which they have come, and how they must go on... Christianity can only be kept living and fresh and full of impact as Christians are living in an ever-growing apprehension of Christ as the Holy Spirit reveals Him in the heart.

This apprehension may only come as necessity is laid upon us by reason of suffering and trial. Capacity(senses) will increase by the stretching of suffering (see Hebrews 12, and read "child-training" for "chastening". There is no SUCCESSION in Christianity other than that of the revelation of Christ to the heart by the Holy Spirit. It is not a system to be perpetuated, but a Life to be possessed. The value of the Scriptures is that they contain depths and fullnesses which have never yet been fathomed,and when we speak of "revelation" we do not mean anything extra to them,but of that which is in them,but only known by the inward "writing" and "shining" of the Holy Spirit.... A thing can be in the Bible,and we can have read it a thousand times,but until the Holy Spirit makes it Life to us it will be unfruitful.Hence,there is a place and need for an inward revelation of the Word of God,and this is the only true succession. Nothing can be preserved alive through generations save as every one entering its realm does so on the basis of such a personal, inward,living,and growing revelation of the truth,so that the origin and beginning is constantly repeated in experience.

Goshen360:
Both of you are correct.... depending who eating or feed what....lol

Lol
As if adults don't drink milk again

Mikefrik:
I believe in the existence of the inward man of the heart (spirit man). but I do have a question and it goes like this- how can we activate those senses that you mentioned like senses of hearing? I know that when a person is born on earth, he is born with the five senses. but talking of the inward man, I think this senses can only be activated by the spirit of God. Christ said in his word " At the last days I will your out my spirit upon all flesh, and your old man shall dream dreams, your daughters shall prophesy, young men shall see vision. And I also believe that these senses can be sharpened and made more quick to discern.

You dont activate any spiritual sense it's yours by virtue of being born again.
It's your right by birth.

Mikefrik:
@ichuka. How can we sharpen what we actually do not have?

Same way by birth a child have five senses.
Also in spiritual birth.
By spiritual birth u have all the senses by RIGHTH.
It's yours when you became born anew
Same way u sharpen your physical sense by eating good food also applies to ur spiritual sense by study of the Word and payers daily.

Goshen360:
What you mean you don't have spiritual sense or senses?

Compliments

MuttleyLaff:
C'mon ichuka stop this now. Must everything be a jest
Would you feed or give a 2 month old baby boiled white yam with isi ewu or nkwobi?

MuttleyLaff:
"For even by the time you ought to be teachers,
you have need of one to teach you again what is the beginning of the principles of the oracles of God;
and you have become those having need of milk, and not of solid food."
- Hebrews 5:12

"I gave you milk to drink.
I didn't give you solid food because you weren't ready for it.
Even now you aren't ready for it"
- 1 Corinthians 3:2

Not necessarily food for all because for some, it'll be milk

Lol
Is milk not FOOD?

Ishilove:
How do you sharpen you spiritual sense? I know constant communication with God is one of them

FOOD!
Gen21:88The child grew and was weaned, and on the day Isaac was weaned Abraham held a great feast.
And these comes by prayer and study of the Word continually..
Same way we feed our physical body daily,our spirit-man also need FOOD.

tobechi20:

Dude chill

Zoharariel:
Ishi Vanilla,

Won't you send me Christmas gift & bonanza?

Dude,what are you doing in these section?
Thought world politics is your thing.

@OP
I believe that's "Restriction".
That's restricting you to the usually/normal.
Restricted from being an Eagle and regulated to the crowd of sparrows.

Ishilove:
Paragraphing your work will make it easier to read.

My bad,
Thanks

Solid food belongs to those who are of full age,that is,those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.(Hebrews 5:14).

In our natural,physical man we have five senses.We have our sight,hearing,smell,taste and touch.Those are the five senses of our physical natural life.But there is also an inner man called the"hidden man of the heart,"and that inward man has what corresponds to the outer man's five senses. There is a faculty of spiritual sight,of spiritual hearing, of spiritual smelling or sensing,of spiritual taste and spiritual touch,and these senses are very important to the life of the inward man–yes, more important even than the senses of the physical man.

We know how we feel the tragedy of people who have lost any of those outward senses.It is a great loss;it is an imperfect life,a life of limitation.But it is equally true of the inward man.To be without spiritual sight is a tragic loss and a terrible limitation;or without spiritual hearing,that capacity for answering to the Spirit –"he that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith":if there is no capacity for hearing,that is a desperate situation.
What loss there is if there is no sensing – sensing as in the matter of smell, so that you at once scent things.I know how wrongly that has been used,in an everlasting attempt to scent heresy and fault and wrong, but there is a right faculty of spiritual scent which is very important.I believe it was to that that reference was made concerning our Lord "His scent shall be in the fear of the Lord"(Isa. 11:3,)
quick of scent,right on the mark in scenting what the Lord wanted.And how true it was of His heavenly life:
what it saved Him to scent the enemy and what the enemy was up to,to scent what the Father wanted and when He did not want things.It is important to be quick of scent.And so with our taste and with our touch – our contact, and what we register by contact.This is a very real inward man,and these are the senses which form the basis of spiritual capacity:these are the things to be exercised,to be"put through it"for increase and development.

OLAADEGBU:
Why would God give Adam a command he cannot keep?

Simply put:all Gods word are holy and true
There's nothing holy in Adam to uphold Gods holy word.
Though he's pure but he's not holy and the law is holy

OLAADEGBU:
Why would God give Adam a command he cannot keep?

Adam was a prototype of who is to come.
A shadow of the real person that's to come.
Creation itself was competed on Calvary not in Eden.
Just like the Potter and His vessel
To make the vessel perfect,the Potter must mix all the materials(I,e His commands) together with the Clay then place the Clay on His Wheel(earh) and start to make it perfect.it takes time to produce the perfect vessel.

DavidEsq:
U mean sheeple abi?

Both

DavidEsq:
Thats how u know them: empty heads. 2 Timothy 3:7 rightly describes them: "always learning, yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth".

Thanks bro
The message was meant for sheep and not pigs

DavidEsq:
After all dis long talk, wat exactly have u said? Nada

"Shut It"

All the people saw him walking and praising God. (Acts 3:9)
“In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,walk”; and he leapt. Simple in its terms,but very, very drastic and very utter in its action.Immediately the man in himself knew the glory of God.He, leaping up,praised and glorified God.He had got it in his own heart,in his own soul.He knew he was changed,he was in the good of God’s rest.... This man was a testimony which was the answer to every argument.Seeing the man there in the midst whole,they had to shut their mouths.There was no argument.It is all argument if it is doctrine, theory,teaching, interpretation of truth, but a living witness – you cannot argue against that.Your mouth is shut when you have a living person standing there right in the good of things.Are we closing the mouths of people? We shall not do it by the truth that we hold,teach, interpret,but we can do it by what we are,by being in possession of the goods.Are we that? Are you that? Are you going to be that?A real answer to every argument so that people say,"Well, look here, it is not the teaching they have taken on,the associations they have made: no, no,look at them; you know what they were, you know how little they counted,you know what cripples they were spiritually,you know what liabilities they were,you know how much they were without rest: but look now;they have the goods,they are in the good of things, they are counting,they mean something, and they are in rest,they are in joy,they are in satisfaction,they themselves are changed!”What can you say to that?You cannot say anything to that if you are going to be honest.
Oh,dear friends,we are not to go out to try and pass over some teaching,some truth, to people.That will never convince.You and I are to be here as those who in themselves convince others because we embody His rest,we embody His peace,we embody His strength, and we count for something.We are responsible people,we are positive factors,we are assets,and the Lord is getting something by reason of us.That is how it must be.Is it like that? All this can be if we will go the way of this man, and say,"Yes, this has gone on long enough and it has to end,and to end, so far as my giving diligence is concerned, at once,and I do most truly by the grace of God take a deliberate and definite faith attitude toward the Lord Jesus for my complete deliverance and the setting of me upon my feet for His glory,for His praise!”I think there will be an issue,and I think it will be–“he, leaping up, stood upon his feet, praising and glorifying God.”May it be so with every one of us.

OLAADEGBU:
What do you mean that the perfect Law of God is meant to kill us?

The the is holy n Perfect .nothing wrong with.
The problem is us not the law
Any man born of the will of his parents and that's born of blood and the will of the father can't uphold Gods law.its impossible .
Even sinless Adam can't uphold just a command from God
Jus one he that's sinless can't keep it.
There something seriously wrong with our flesh.and Gods prescription to the flesh is Death it can't b redeem.if not there's no reason of the Cross.
We can't keep it
That's it

ironically ,The Law was never meant to save but to Kill us,but,we have a better (law) in Christ Jesus which is Grace.
Law is like a thermometer that leads us to Christ(Grace)

5solas:
"The Righteousness Of Faith"

The Bible talks of two types of Righteousness – the Righteousness that is of the law and the Righteousness of faith. The Righteousness of the law is evident, known by almost all professing Christians. It is the Righteousness you get when you obey the law (commandments). It is your own Righteousness. A Righteousness of your self, self – Righteousness.
This Righteousness does not and cannot grant salvation – out of faith or in faith.

The Righteousness that is of faith on the other hand is entirely of God; completely God-given, when we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Righteousness that avails/ counts as far as salvation is concerned.
It is mentioned in so many places in the Bible usually in contrast with that of the law and clearly shown and upheld to be better.
In Romans 3:21,22 and 28, the Bible says :
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference…

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

The conclusion is that in our justification (in our salvation ), the works of the laws (commandments ) are excluded.

Concerning Abraham’s possession of the Righteousness of faith, it says it was through faith without works and it is available for any who believes in Christ Jesus and that he got it when he was yet uncircumcised (Romans 4:3,5,9,11,13,22,23).

In Romans 8 : 1-4, the Bible announces that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ because what they could not do, through the keeping of the law (commandments), has been done for them by Christ and so the Righteousness of the law which could not be fulfilled by the natural man is fulfilled in the believer.

In Romans 9:30-33,
the gentiles which did not seek Righteousness got Righteousness and not just the one from the law, that does not save, but the one of faith that saves. On the contrary the Israelites who sought to be righteous by obeying the law did not get that of the law, not to talk of that which comes by faith!

In Romans 10:3,4-10, the Bible continuing with this theme of Righteousness by faith, states that the Israelites had a zeal for God but a misdirected zeal. Instead of trusting in Christ and having His Righteousness inputed/credited to their accounts, they were working up their own Righteousness (self-righteousness ) not realizing that Christ’ Righteousness was the ultimate; the Righteousness that supercedes that of the Pharisees (Matthew 5:20 ).

In Galatians 2:16, Paul affirmed that Righteousness (the Righteousness that counts, the Righteousness of faith ) does not come by the law but by faith and affirms that if it came by the law, then Christ died for nothing (Galatians 2 :21).
The Righteousness that saves does not come from the keeping of the law (Galatians 3:21.) Christ had to come because the keeping of the law could not and cannot save (Hebrews 7:11). For our Salvation, ”… God took the sinless Christ and poured into him our sins. Then, in exchange, he poured God’s goodness into us! ” (2 Corinthians 5:21.)

In Phillipians 3, Paul confesses that if anyone could save themselves, he was more qualified to do so and listed his credentials amongst which was ” touching the Righteousness which is of the law, blameless” (v 6). But goes on to say he counts it (the Righteousness he got from keeping the law) as dung and hopes when Christ comes, he would be found in the Righteousness which is of God by faith (8,9).

But if this Righteousness of God by faith is so clearly taught in the scriptures, why is it so scarcely taught, even in Church? For this simple reason, it makes nonsense of the teaching that salvation can be lost and exposes it as false.

Very correct bro

Bro,war started in Heaven.and we are govern by the Heavenly.

The Potter must definitely have His preferred Vesssel deemed fit for His use!!
Romans8:30..Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

How long will you go limping between two different opinions?If the Lord is God,follow Him; but if Baal, then follow him.1Kings 18:21.
That word was never addressed to the unsaved.It was never intended for them.It is only rarely that the unsaved are in the position of two opinions. More often than not they are of no opinion.This is what the prophet really said to the people:"How long limp ye from one side to another?"He viewed them as lame, and lamed by uncertainty,lamed by indecision,paralysed by an unsettled issue.Oh, how an unsettled issue does paralyze the life. Have a controversy with the Lord,an unsettled issue with the Lord, and your whole life is lamed, is paralyzed;you are limping first one way and then the other;there is no sense of stability about your way.
So the prophet called for the issue to be settled. How long limp ye from one side to the other? Settle this issue one way or the other.If Jehovah be God,let Him have His place,His full rights; settle it once and for all. If Baal is god,well then let us be settled.But until that is done you are crippled,you are paralyzed,and the whole secret of your being in that weak,indefinite, unstable,uncertain place is that God is not having His full rights; there is a dividedness in your life, a dividedness in your own soul,because other interests and considerations are in view.The dividedness may be in your home life, where you have power, authority and influence, and you are not standing one hundred percent for the Lord’s interests there. It may be working in other directions,but wherever it is present the result is that deep down in your being you are not satisfied,you are not at rest.You may be busy, you may be occupied, you may be rushing hither and thither in the Lord’s name,but you know that deep down there is a lack,an uncertainty,an unsettled state;your spiritual life is limited and paralyzed.It will always be so until the issue is settled and God has His place in fullness in every part and relationship of your life.It is a question of zeal for the Lord,jealousy for the Lord.
