Bro brilliantly written. Why we still struggle with some certain things is because we are not believing the word of God. We have so many unbelieving believer's today.
Thanks bro
Believers have to know who they are in Christ,before they can express the Christ in them to the world.

Galatains5:24..24Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

We have to see clearly that what is spoken of here is not a matter of experience(no matter what experience one may have);rather,it is a matter of divine fact."They who are of Christ Jesus"—whether they be strong or weak—"have crucified the flesh with its passions and its lusts."You may say that you are still sinning.But God says that you have been crucified on the cross.You may say that your temper is still with you.But God says that you have been crucified on the cross.You may say that your lust is very strong.But God says that your flesh has been crucified on the cross.Please do not look at your experience for now;pay attention first to what God has said to you.If you do not listen and believe in God's word but look at your own experience,you will never have the experience of the crucifixion of the flesh.Forget about your own feelings and experience.God said that your flesh has been crucified,and it is crucified.First listen to and believe God's word,then the experience will follow.God has said to you,"Your flesh has been crucified."You should answer and say,"Amen. That is right.My flesh has been crucified on the cross."If you do this,you will see that your flesh is truly crucified.
We have to realize that the Bible has never told us to crucify ourselves. Rather,it tells us that we are those who are crucified.We are not being crucified alone,but have been crucified together with the Lord Jesus (Gal. 2:20; Rom. 6:6).Since we have been crucified together,the time that the Lord Jesus was crucified is the time that our flesh was crucified.Furthermore, our crucifixion is not a self-crucifixion.Rather, we were brought to the cross by the Lord Jesus at the time He was crucified.Hence, in God's eyes,our flesh has been crucified on the cross.This is something that has been clearly accomplished on God's side.It has been clearly accomplished and now it is a fact.Whether or not a man has the experience,God still says,"They"—every believer—"who are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh."The way for us to receive the experience of the crucifixion of the flesh is not by paying attention to our experience(which though good,should not be given too much place),but by believing in God's word.God says that our flesh has been crucified,and we believe that our flesh is indeed crucified.God says that our flesh has been crucified on the cross,and we acknowledge that what God says is true. If we do this,we will have the experience.We should first pay attention to God's fact,then to man's experience.
Christianity EtcHumility... by ichuka(op): 4:51pm On Oct 13, 2018
The heavier a load that a boat carries,the lower it will sink,and the bigger the fruit that grows on a tree,the lower the branches will bend.The bigger a tree becomes,the deeper the roots will go.This is also true with those who have received more grace from God.Those who have not received very much grace are boastful; however,a humble person has always received more grace from God.Only God can cause a person to be humble.Humility is not thinking less about oneself;it is thinking nothing about oneself. Humility is not lightly esteeming oneself,but not considering oneself at all.A truly humble person is truly dead to himself.If the self has not died,a person may not act unbecomingly in an outward way,but he invariably steals glory for himself inwardly!Man's heart is more evil than anything! It is one thing to be humble and another thing to be withdrawn.The two should not be confused one with each other.Humility that results from self-strength or a natural disposition(some people are very humble by nature)will only lead to withdrawal,and the end is abandonment.True humility before the Lord does not withdraw at a crisis or pull back from advancement in the name of false meekness. In all things pertaining to God,it strives forward on the one hand, and acknowledges one's uselessness and powerlessness on the other hand.At the same time,it trusts in God moment by moment and "in all thy ways acknowledge[s] him" (Prov. 3:6).Those who are afraid of being put on the spot are not humble, but spiritually sick.How difficult it is to serve the Lord in humility and,at the same time,take up one's responsibility. However, the words "I am able to do all things in Him who empowers me"are trustworthy.Let us look to the Lord.

I understand that the end view is not Israel but the church. also remember God has not forgotten his people, he will fulfill his promise which he made.

the bible always refers to the church is the wife of Christ not the mother of Christ because it was the church was made from Christ and will be united with Christ but child came from the woman.
so it cannot be the church neither is it mary but israel.
Are you saying the man child is Christ?Nooo,
He can't be Christ in real figure,but the result/product of His bride/wife.
Revelation 12 speaks mainly on things to come(future).

solite3:
this does not make it impossible to fit israel's description.
no it is not contradicting history read Daniel's prophecy about the beasts.

the problem is that you are interpreting the prophecy in view to israel's past only.
the first major problem that this explanation has is that,
the woman brought forth the male child who is Christ. Now, you know that it wasn't the church that brought forth Christ.

second problem, was that the 1260 days in which she is to be fed in the wilderness, this has no meaning as far as the church is concern but with the prophecy concerning Israel we see the clear meaning.
Bro Israel is even the church in type.
Just like most women in the church typifies the church.
The end view of God is the church and not Israel.
Christianity EtcRe: Prayer Enforces Prophecies by ichuka(m): 7:10am On Oct 07, 2018
PastorDavidAwuj:
Sacrifice is very important (by sacrifice I'm guessing you mean money?)

But do you know this text?

1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

God is saying here, "look, sacrifice is good, but obedience is far better than whatever sacrifice you can offer to me."

No wonder Jesus said, "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." John 14:21

So, obedience to every commandment of Jesus is key if we want to see the manifestation of the Father (God) jn our lives.

In this context, we are talking about obedience to His commandments as regards prayers. If we must see the manifestation of God, we must simply follow the set down principles for us in prayers.

That is why, for the whole of this month I have decided to teach on the subject of prayer, which has gotten so many people into confusion.

By the end of this month, my prayer is that I would have helped so many out of confusion by the help of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Without standing on the of resurrection even our prayers are complete waste of time.
Obedience,prayers are even part of sacrifice as long as we stand on the ground of resurrection .
What denotes the ground of resurrection?
Sacrifice on Calvary.
Our Lord Jesus came He preached,prayed,taught us,did so many miracles and completed it by going to Calvary .

Christianity EtcRe: Who Is The Woman Clothed With The Sun, With The Moon Under Her Feet? (Rev 12) by ichuka(m): 12:49am On Oct 07, 2018
solite3:
Yea I read it, there are a lot of inconsistencies in those interpretation.
the woman cannot be the church because it was clearly stated she gave birth to a man. the church didn't bring forth Christ rather it was Israel that did.
if you understand the prophecy of Daniel you will clearly know that Rev 12 us about israel.

Romans 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

9:5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.


there are heavy proofs that the woman in Rev 12 is israel.

there is false gospel that says that the church has replaced israel, that is false the apostle told us that God had not cast off his people whom he first know.
(1)Since this vision is revealed in heaven, this woman is entirely of heaven. Neither Mary nor the nation of Israel have this position.
(2)After this woman bore the man-child, she fled into the wilderness. If we liken this woman to the nation of Israel, the man-child she brought forth to Christ, and the man-child being caught up to the ascension of Christ, this does not correspond with the actual facts. Although the nation of Israel was scattered, her going into the wilderness was not the result of Christ’s ascension. At the time Christ ascended, Israel had already been dispersed for some time and was no longer a nation. But here we see that the woman fled into the wilderness after the man-child was caught up unto God. Long before Christ ascended, the nation of Israel was gone. Therefore, it is impossible for this woman to be a reference to the nation of Israel. There is even less of a basis to refer to her as Mary.
(3)While this woman was in travail to bring forth the man-child, she encountered a dragon. This dragon had seven heads and ten horns. Chapter seventeen tells us that these seven heads are seven kings: five have fallen, one is still existing, and the other has not yet come. The ten horns are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, who will arise afterwards. We know that no such historical events occurred before Christ ascended. Therefore, this woman and the man-child must refer to things in the future. If we say that this woman refers either to the nation of Israel or to Mary and that the man-child refers to the Lord Jesus, we are contradicting history.
(4)After the man-child was caught up unto God, there was war in heaven, and Satan was cast down to the earth. Then there was a proclamation in heaven: "Now has come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ, for the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, who accuses them before our God day and night" (Rev. 12:10). We know that this has not yet been accomplished. Ephesians 6 tells us that the church on earth must still battle with the rulers, authorities, and spiritual forces of evil in the heavenlies. Satan is still there. Since this portion of Scripture has not yet occurred, it is impossible for it to be a reference to the time of Jesus.
(5)When the dragon was cast down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who brought forth the man-child. Many people use this as a confirmation that the woman is Mary. After Mary gave birth to the Lord Jesus she did flee to Egypt; however, she did not do this at the Lord’s ascension. Verses 14 through 16 say, "And to the woman there were given the two wings of the great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness into her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast water as a river out of his mouth after the woman that he might cause her to be carried away by its current. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth." Whether it is said that this woman is a reference to Mary or to the nation of Israel, we know from history that no such thing happened when Christ ascended to heaven. Therefore, this woman cannot be a reference to Mary or to the nation of Israel.

Christianity EtcThe Witch's Spell!! by ichuka(op): 2:06pm On Sep 30, 2018
Galatians 3:1 “O foolish Galatians,who hath bewitched (lit. cast the witch’s spell over) you...?”

The apostle says that these people had come under a spell.Have you ever been under a spell? I should think (without having had any experience)that to come under a witch’s spell is to wake up at some point and realise that you have been in an unreal realm. It may have been pleasant for the time being,like the effect of opium,but afterwards it was revealed to have been an illusion,an unreality,a false world, everything had been suggesting what was not true after all.During that time of the spell you have been deprived of your normal state of good sense,you were not yourself,and the effects were quite different from those which had been presented to your mind under the spell.
To look closely into this letter to the Galatians is to see that that is exactly what had happened(and is very much still present in some churches)It was a spell indeed,and a spell which meant that they were taken out of the realm of the greatest of all realities,and put into the realm of things which were false and deceiving, and where they were robbed of their true spiritual position,and placed in a false one.
What was the nature of the spell? The Holy Spirit is very apt in His way of describing things.The phrase: “the witch’s spell” could not be improved upon as a description of what had happened to these believers.These believers had come right out into a living place with Christ, and they had,through faith,received the Holy Spirit.They had been emancipated and set free from all the old thraldoms.They had been put in a place of spiritual liberty,spiritual ascendency,spiritual power,spiritual life,and they had had a great enjoyment of the Lord. But,being Gentiles,and having turned to Christ, certain things had entered into their experience outwardly. Outwardly they had become involved in a great deal of persecution.They had found tremendous antagonism levelled against them.Inwardly they had become aware of the fact of two natures,an old and a new,that which the apostle speaks of in this letter as the flesh and the Spirit.And,while they had come to the place where the old and fleshly nature was triumphed over by a life in the Spirit,they knew only too well that the old and the fleshly nature was not annihilated,and that to maintain their position of ascendency,every day they must maintain a walk in the Spirit.
The walk in the Spirit demanded a continuous appropriation of Christ and obedience to Him. These were two of the things which had come into their lives,and represented a certain amount of difficulty.It was not easy to suffer persecution.It was not always easy to be obedient and to walk in the Spirit.It represented a continuous yielding to the Lord.
The other thing which governed their life entirely was that it was a life of faith.While a life of faith brings into a wonderful realm of ever fresh discoveries and blessing,it is a life of faith,and the old and natural life never takes kindly to a life of faith, but is always seeking the seen and the felt,that which can be provided by the senses;that realm of outward perception, as over against the life which is entirely by faith in God.While these Galatians went on with the Lord they had a life of knowing and enjoying the Lord.
We all know that the Christian life is not a picnic every day.The Word of the Lord never promises that it will be. We are not in the playground."WE ARE IN THE SCHOOL" We are not here for pleasure and enjoyment."WE ARE HERE FOR REAL BUISNESS AND GRIM CONFLICT" A day of unmixed pleasure and glory lies ahead for us; in the meantime it is a life of training,discipline, equipping for that day, and it becomes strenuous sometimes. We would deceive nobody who is not a believer by saying that if you become a believer you are going to float about in the air,play upon imaginary harps all the days of your life and never have any trouble. You will come up against the grim realities,of which you may be altogether unconscious at present.You will find that you are precipitated into the battle,and are taken into a place of deep training and discipline.It is in that realm that we make our discoveries,and find our wonderful enlargement. That does not mean for one moment that while such things obtain there can be no joy.The New Testament is a strange paradox throughout: “Sorrowing, yet always rejoicing”; “Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation...” It is a strange contradiction, and the man of the world understands nothing of that.
However,the Christian life is a grim business for the time being,and the Galatians came to recognise that,and sometimes,in common with all other Christians at all times,the sense of the conflict and the pressure registered itself in a costly way. Nevertheless,ask anyone who knows the Lord best,and who knows the cost most,whether they would give up the Lord in order to escape the cost, and you will find that they will give no consideration to that — unless they become tricked,which is exactly what happened here.
There came down to these Galatian believers certain men who were Jews,who pretended to be Christians,and the most that can be said in their favour is that they acknowledged Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah. That does not mean for a moment that they had seen Him as the Eternal Son of God,and it does not mean that anything was entailed in the setting aside of Judaism. These Judaisers,with the Christian name,went in the track of Paul wherever he went with the Gospel,and worked their way through the network of Jewish synagogues until they got into this area known as Galatia,and began their Judaising activities in direct contradiction to his Gospel.They found a point of contact,and said to these believers:Now, you are having a difficult time;this kind of life that Paul has shown to you is a very strenuous life (we are not saying they used these words, but this was clearly the line of argument);this struggle and this effort to live this life is because of a fundamental mistake! All you have to do to be accepted with God is to observe the LAW!!You come to the synagogue and carry out these various regulations of Moses;that is all that is required of you!So many meetings a week,and so many sermons a week, so many outward observances a week,and all is well!God’s law is so-and-so:observe God’s law,and all is well (a very plausible argument)! Then,you see,you are suffering a great deal of opposition and antagonism from without,also upon this fundamental error!You have taken up a position which is bringing this upon you!You will find that a great deal of that persecution will drop away if you will simply let go this extreme position that you have taken,this life of faith,this detachment from the recognised and accepted religious system of the Jews;and things will become very much easier for you because you will be associated with that which is accepted and recognised!Paul is all wrong,and he has led you into this position, and these are the consequences!Our counsel is that you should all be circumcised,have the centre of your relationship to the historic order of things, carry out these regulations,and you will be left alone and escape this intense spiritual conflict,inwardly and outwardly!You will cease to have this inward pressure;you will not have all the strain of a life of faith,it will become a life of sight;and the way will become easy!
Because these Galatian believers were conscious of the cost of the life in relation to Christ,and were perhaps feeling badly just at that moment (for you may be sure the devil always strikes his blow at the weak moment) this whole proposition was like a witch’s spell.A lovely sensation crept over them:Oh, is it not necessary for us,after all, to have all this to meet, all this to suffer?Are we, after all,wrong? Is it really that we have made a mistake,have been misled?They let the doubt in,and we know what happened.When they opened their mind to a question of a fundamental character like that,it rushed in and became like a spell to them,a beautiful suggestion,a wonderful idea! The suggestion was:We need not give up anything of Christ,but it can be so much easier if we let go what is evidently an extreme position which we have taken!The witch’s spell did its work.They came under it,and let go their position.
Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians in that condition.When you look closely into it,you see that it was a witch’s spell.It was a lie!Paul says some very strong things about this: “...though we,or an angel from heaven,should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you,let him be accursed.”That is regarding these Judaisers.This gospel which they were preaching brought them into the category of the curse,under an anathema from God;they were preaching an accursed gospel.With Paul there was no myth about their position;he saw how deadly it was as a deception,and how, under its spell — as it had been so plausibly presented just in a time when these people were feeling the strain of things — it had worked to rob them of their true position.That which Paul keeps continuously in view right through this letter is the cross of the Lord Jesus.The central and inclusive statement is this: “...before whose eyes Jesus Christ was openly set forth crucified”. Then in the rest of the letter Paul explains what that means........

we are on the same page bro,
yes Mary was his mother in the flesh but that is where it ended
Bro He took no flesh from anybody
That's my point.He can't be part of what He came to destroy(The Flesh).
He came in the likeness of our flesh doesn't mean He shared our old corrupted flesh.
Philip2:7rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very natureb of a servant,
being made in human likeness.

Ubenedictus:
The Bible pretty much is clear on this, Mary was not an Incubator, she is a mother, in CONCEIVED her son Jesus not just incubate him. She conceived, bore and birthed him that is how he became flesh.

Luke 1:31

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
Luke1:34Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that "HOLY THING"which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Do you why the THING FORMED IN HER WAS CALLED HOLY?
Lol
Bro,I no fit argue with you abeg.
My mum and siblings are still catholic and I truly believe some in your meetings are truly saved.

OK thanks for this, but Jesus humanity began from the womb of Mary, that made her the mother of Jesus
John1:13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
☝️if these verse is true how can she be His mother?

yes Jesus took flesh in the womb of Mary while being already God which means Mary is not the mother of God but of the man Christ Jesus.
Bro Jesus NEVER took an atom of flesh from Mary.rather He became flesh in Mary!!
Two different things.
John1:14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
He became flesh in Mary.
An incubator don't share it's contituent with it's product.
Not possible.
In doubt?

hear yourself 'born of god'.... god shld give birth to him abi? Salvation is very simple, read John 3:16. For god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life'

Shikena, anything else you are saying is rubbish, all you need is belief. All that being born of god is just same as saying being made or reformed by god which is still saying accepting the provision of god which is only possible be believing. So stop trying to sound like you are telling us something complex
Dude,comprehension is your problem here.
What's the different btw John3:16 and John1:12-13?
You can't get it expect you are a Son!!

you people keep contradicting yourselves all within a sentence. Has many as received him, he gave them power to become sons of god, right? So if he was born in a christian home and told about christ, which he accepted to be true, what else do you want? All he needs is belief. The bible is very very clear on how to be a believer. Does he believe in christ as the son of god and sacrificw for the salvation of mankind? If yes, that is all. An average church goer already believes that, that is why he goes to church in the first place. Stop trying to complicate very simple matters
Dude you are the one complicating things for yourself.
Nobody born NOT of FLESH,NATURAL DESCENT and of THE WILL OF A MAN. That's born of God can revert his NEW BIRHT RIGHTS.
So ask Him
Is he Born of GOD?

@OP
Being born in a religious home doesn't make one a Christain.same as attandung church meetings or program's.
A Christain is one who's born of God.(John1:12But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.)
Someone that's born of God belongs to God and can't change his birth rights.
