I wonder why they have succeeded in maintaining the monopoly for years. We need competition in the satellite TV market. If not we can't keep blaming DSTV.

When HI TV came, they systematically killed it.

Please, Is it right for a Christian to Listen or sing Blue's, R&B music
Some of them are cool/nice and some have some words that are not good at all

In my opinion is not good, because they will be registered in your mind with time and may control your action later on. It is better you give yourself to things of good virtue that has eternal consequence.

italo:
Good.

Tell that to your fellow protestants who say that faith alone will lead to salvation.

Faith is the foundation of Christainity. Without faith, all the works are rubbish. Faith that cannot be proved by work is dead also.

God said to Abraham leave your fathers house to a land I will show you. He believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness, But what was the proof of his faith. He left his fathers land to a land he was not told of until he was on his way.

Let assume Abraham had said Lord I believe but remained in his father land, what will be the proof of his faith.

You say Paul was a babe, that's why he was sinning then.

So he wasn't born of God then?

So Paul wasn't led by the Spirit then?

Paul was writing the word of God, yet he wasn't led by the Spirit of God?

You heretical protestants are a confused lot.

The Spirit Of God is needed to understand the bible, it doesn't matter if you go to church. So you think Paul was writing to this people when at the time he was passing through this experience? It was after he has over came.

That is the reason of Romans 7:25. He now thank God who made him to overcome.

italo:
So you disagree with James 2:24?

James 2:24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

This means neither works nor faith can justify a man without the other. We need both to be justified, that is while I told you earlier that work is evidence or proof of our faith.

James 2:24 ....and not by faith ONLY. Faith is the foundation of works. Last night I was studying Galatians. Paul maintained that we are justified by faith. Now are they contradictory? No. But complimentary.

14 - For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

15 - For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will; but the evil which I hate, that I do.

16 - If then I do that which I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.

17 - Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

18 - For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will, is present with me; but to accomplish that which is good, I find not.

19 - For the good which I will, I do not; but the evil which I will not, that I do.

20 - Now if I do that which I will not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 - I find then a law, that when I have a will to do good, evil is present with me.

22 - For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man:

23 - But I see another law in my members, fighting against the law of my mind, and captivating me in the law of sin, that is in my members.

24 - Unhappy man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

Paul sinned. You are in a higher class than Paul?

When Paul had the above experience he was still a babe in the lord as many are today. Now open the same Romans 7 but lets go to the last verse that you omitted.

:25 I thank God - through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

At this point in Paul's walk with God, he discovered the secret of how to conquer sin. We conquer sin with our mind. I remember one of those days after reading the " be ye perfect even as your father in heaven is perfect". I was so confused that I said, "Lord it is impossible for a man to be perfect". To mine shock, I heard "its in your mind". What was in mine mind, sin. The law of the flesh was in mine mind. To overcome sin, I had to substitute that law with the law of the Spirit of God.

Now go to Romans 8:1-16, Paul narrated how he conquered sin. He did it through the spirit of God. I wrote what is means to be born again in this forum. If you have read it, you would have seen how the spirit of God transform us to overcome sin.

Paul wrote, "be ye transform by the renewal of your mind". He transformed himself by renewing his mind. By living according to the spirit (Romans 8:5).

Until you are lead by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14) your not a son of God, therefore can not overcome sin. The best of Christianity you will have will be of claims.

Many of us think all we do is as a result of what we want to do. No, all we do is a product of all that we have learnt. what we do are fruit of the information we have gathered over the years. Until we change those information, we can not change the fruit we bear.

ayoku777:
We need to stop using semantics and ambiguous english to confuse ourselves. Law is law, whether ordinances or commandments, whether ceremonial or moral. Law is law. Jesus didnt divide them into compactments, so when Jesus fulfilled the law he fulfilled all and brought it to pass. Now we should just be led of the Holy spirit, and even though when the spirit leads us we also do many things that were advocated by the law, that doesnt mean he leads us by the law or helps us obey the law. The spirit helps us manifest the life of Christ.

Do you know the bible itself is law. If you are reading the bible you are reading the law.

Ukutsgp:
did the early church pay tithe? What do u think that made them prosper so massively despite not paying tithe? The apostles where silent about the tithe doctrine because it is no longer relevant.

I was expecting you to tell me Jesus said stop tithing. What is your proof that the reason the apostles did not speak about tithe was because it was no longer relevant rather than the people were strict adherent to tithing. Do you know that most of the things the apostles spoke about were mainly for correcting the people. If it is so, why will they teach them to pay tithe the are obedient to.

Paul talk about giving to the Corinthians because they were not givers but did not do same to other churches.

italo:
Typical protestant hypocrite dodging the question.

Do you agree or disagree with St. James?

Am not a protestant, am a christian. It is spiritual suicide to study the word of God with the spirit of God. When you study Jame 2, you will come to understand that work is a product of faith. Work is evidence of faith, when you try to separate both you murder them.

It may shock you to know my church. Am not church man am a christian. The Spirit of God is my teacher not my pastor. Paul was happy with a particular church because they always go home to study the word after church rather than swallowing the everything.

Picking a verse of the scripture is dangerous, it has slain many.

italo:
So you don't sin.

So Jesus wasn't talking to you when he said "when you pray, say...forgive us our sins?"

Then you're not one of his disciples.

He that is born of God does not sin. Bros am born of God I do not sin. Believe it or not, what makes you to sin is not in me. Disciples are in classes, at first he called them servants with time he called them friends but now we are sons, kings, priest and Gods.

Someone who lies on his bed and press his phone will be asking the developments under Gej. If other ex presidents did something this would have been an addition not a beginning. Gej will go down in history has a bearer of the light of development in Africa.

Its a pity you still live in the military regime. Now you can't put anyone in prison as a president, unless a pauper. The best you can do is take the person to court.

Now let me ask you. What did all the ex presidents including Buhari do with oil wind fall of their time to improve the northern part of Nigeria not the entire nation oo?

Hasn't Fashola and Amosun given u a better deal at state level?. if truly someone threatened to unleash bloodshed and wasn't arrested, shouldn't that tell u we don't have a leader?
@Ngwakwe, I'm not a politician but I can smell a partisan one from afar.. Buhari did all he could to enforce discipline, wanna deny that?
Worthy to note is that None of GEJ's supporters have said GEJ has excelled; they are just trying to bring GMB down.. SMH..

GEJ's achievements dwarf all the achievements of all ex Nigerian leaders put together.

Aloralord1:
Looolz...Sincerely, don't think Ure in Nigeria.. All what u pointed out seems like sarcasm honestly.

If you are in Nigeria please, what part of Nigeria are you? Because what that person posted is true. More than 70% of the federal roads are in good condition and many are under construction. All the regime from the first till GEJ has never equaled this fit.

What about Agriculture.

What about rail way transportation.

Dear hypocrite, do you agree or disagree with St. James when he says "man is justified by works?"

It is unfortunate that you have started calling me names. But who am I, if the call Jesus devil what will one expect they call his brother. It is God who condemns and it is He that justifies. You can't condemn he who he has justified, for who can declare it and it cometh to pass without my Father's approval.

shdemidemi:
That makes no difference to what was earlier alluded. Now,the statement that you are not a prophet nor God or god still stand. You are a saint, not before the passion of Christ but after His resurrection.


Have you ever come across this verse-
Romans 5
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

John 10:9 talked about Jesus as being the illuminator and not spirit.



Did Adam die the day he ate the fruit in the garden of Eden? God said Adam will die the day he eats it.

If he did die, how did he die, physically or spiritually?




I hope you agree we are all offsprings of Adam. The bible say
Genesis 5
3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:


Adam procreated a like of himself hence
Romans 5
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.



'father' as used here does not mean you can't call your biological dad 'father'. Abraham is also the father of faith. Context matter, I won't go in to details with this.


The Word of God stands far ahead of any experience you might have mustered. Your experience(s) remain personal to you, they can't and shouldn't be a standard to replace the written Word of God. Experiences do come and go, the Word remains and it remains INHERENT forever.

As I said earlier, yo can't pass the lies that has been told you for ages to me. I know who I am, am a God. Believe it or not, I am of the race of God. I have been translated to the kingdom of God. I don't expect you to understand anywhere because we are of different mind. I carry the mind of mine race (God). When Jesus declared his Godship, the people fought him because it is not comprehensible to this mind. I don't expect something different.

Yes I have read Roman 5:12, it said and I quote you "sin entered into the world" I didn't see it say "sin entered into man or Adam" That sin entered into the world means anyone who enters the world can contact it. But if it said sin entered into man or Adam it would have mean Adam will pass it on to man at birth. But praise God sin entered into the world not man.

how can the words of Jesus be spirits if Jesus himself is not a Spirit. You can not comprehend this things yet my brother.

When I asked God about Genesis 5:3 He told me Adam has no image nor likeness. That the image Adam had was His and that is what all men has.

Many were made sinner as they can be made righteous. The same process that bring the sin is the same that take it. In one of my encounter with God. He said to me, "the way out of a prison is through the entrance". You can't take another way out of a prison. The same way we became sinners is the same way be will be righteous. We were made sinners not born sinners.

Who you are means nothing until you know. In luke 9:55, these men did not know whom they were as many Christian don't. John had his head chopped of because he didn't know he carried the spirit of Elijah. Jesus did not know the true personality as a son of God till he came out of the wilderness.

Am not talking about experience but the word. Until you know whom you are, you will die a no body. Satan is not after you, but after your Identity.

Do you know the first temptation he gave Jesus? it was on his identity as the son of God.

I know whom I heard and I know what I heard. If your not comfortable with it, that is your business. I am a God, am a Spirit being according to the order of the Most High God.

italo:
"Man is justified by his works."

Do you agree or disagree with St. James?

I said work is an evidence of justification. Can you do work if your not justified. This is while people will tell you that the spirit is willing but flesh weak because they don't know how to do the work of righteousness. If you try doing the work you will fail. It is God in you that does the work. If Christ himself can say "of myself I can do nothing", how do you think you can.

You can't do the work until God empowers you to do. Try to understand the writer of the bible. Jesus is the message, if your interpretation does not show Christ as the way, your on the wrong track. I tell people, if you don't understand the teachings of Christ Apostle Paul will confuse you.

italo:
They are "yes or no" questions.

Do you have God in you?

Do God sin? I am a God.

shdemidemi:
This is where basic fundamentals of the christian faith is important. Psalm 82 is not a doctrine to christians, it does not directly apply to you, you need to rightly divide the word to know where you belong.

You are not a prophet, you are not a part of the earthly nation of Israel. You are a Gentile who was never a part of the Israel economy.
Ephesians 2
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

You must realise you have a far better promise in God as a Gentile. You became reconciled to God on the back of the death burial and resurrection of Christ.

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.



You don't quite get what this is saying. Like definitely beget like. How did we get our flesh? We got it through Adam(flesh) after the fall. Adam was dead spiritually so he procreated spiritually dead offsprings. But by accepting Christ (Spirit), the spirit that died after Adam fell is made alive/regenerates and we also get an indwelling Spirit of God in us.

It does not mean we completely become God or Spirit. It only means we now have a new spirit in us.



This is your own inference, no scriptural underpin whatsoever.

When you quoted the above scripture, you left Ephesians 2:19 "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God". I am a fellowcitzen with the saint not with Israel, am a member of the household of God not the household of Israel.

No man is a sinner by the reason of Adam's sin. Everyone that comes into the world carry the Spirit of God in him (John 1:9) till he/she sin. We didn't get your flesh/spirit from Adam. Adam did not give man half or quater of his spirit. Man is a spirit from God who came through Adam. Jesus said call no man on earth your father. All Jesus was teaching is to direct us to our real Father. This is what angered the Jews, they couldn't comprehend how man can be God.

Believe it or not am a complete spirit and a God. How can you go to tell the son of king he is not a prince. You may have logic to prove it, but a son who knows himself, knows who he is. You talk of what you read(hear), I talk of what I have seen and what my hands has handled of the word of God.

Get it imprinted in mind that am a God and a Spirit.

shdemidemi:
You see! I should have known the mistake sprouted from psalm 82.

Psalm 82:6 was where God called the divinely appointed judges in Israel 'gods'. This indicated God Himself sits in judgement on those who He has appointed.

No christian or a child of God is a god or God, we are all sons and heirs. You won't find a place where a believer of Jesus Christ is called a god...never!

Jesus also called the jews (most likely their leaders) gods, not in a good sense of the word; because he had earlier told them they were not part of him.

John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

As for john1:13, I can't find where it calls anyone God, I saw sons of God.

John 1
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of (the will)God.

If you believe psalm 82 is for appointed judges, that is fine. Then know that before I was born He appointed me a prophet unto the nations and sanctified me for this purpose. Psalm 82:6 is not talking of appointment but of birth. Children are born not appointed.

John 3:6 If that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit, how do you want that which is born of God (1:13) not to be God. While is it hard to understand. Like begets like.

When Jesus affirmed the position of man as a God through the same word that created all. For through him was all thing created, therefore by this affirmation of Him he created a God out of me.

Ukutsgp:
Should pastors tell their followers not to tithe if they now realised the truth that tithing is not a requirement for the new testament church?
If they do, won't their followers see them as double tongued and paint them black for going back on what they have used their last blood to preach for a long time now?

Just imagine, Oyebopo, Adeboye, pastor christ, WF Kumuyi and many more popular men of God now telling their followers to stop tithing after they have preached the tithe doctrine to them for years. Won't it sound funny and even dent their reputation as men of God? And will even make their followers to see them as unserious?

So, i don't think that even if those popular preachers now know the truth about the tithe doctrine they have defended for a long time now, they would not tell their followers for fear of being ridiculed or denting their image before the public.

Anyone who tells you not to tithe is against your prosperity

shdemidemi:
Do you know the origin of how men became god? If you do you will never allude to being God. Who was the first person that wanted to be God, wasn't it Lucifer! By that, he got his judgement.

Who was the second that aspired to be God? Man. This happened through the woman when she was told she will know good and evil like God. She and her husband became gods the day they ate the fruit. They died in the Almighty God and they were pushed out of God.

When you are pushed out of God, you become devil's property. They got what was promised by the devil in the sense that, man can now determine what is good and what is bad. They became gods outside God. What does the bible think about any other God aside from Himself.
Jer 10:11
Thus shall you say to them: “The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth shall perish from the earth and from under the heavens.”

Any god that did not create heaven and earth shall perish. Perish means condemned.

My brother, we have to submit to God and His will concerning our lives so we don't allure curses and God's wrath in to our lives.

God told me in Psalm 82:6 that I am a God. He told me how I became a God in John 1:13. Jesus my elder brother confirm same to me in John10:35, who then are you to tell me who I am.

I know who I am. I am a God. The word which create all things has created a God out of me.

I Ololade can personally vouch for Pastor Adeboye based on his antecedents doesn't make him a real man of God. Who agrees with this?.
That said, Pastor Adeboye had only vouched for Oritesejafor personally and not in the spirit as the case maybe.
Now his (Adeboyes) word can be taken to the bank but it doesn't make it valid in the spiritual realm of God except he has seen it.

Now notice his choice of words:

1) A man of God I can "personally" vouch for... It should be "God has made me it clear that he is innocent".
2) "I believe" on the issue of his aircraft... It should be "I know".
3) "I'm sure" God will continue... It should be "I know"

This is just like a letter of attestation and doesn't reflect or justify whether he (Oritsejafor) is not guilty or not.
This is just my opinion please don't crucify me.

We can only know and justify through the appearance of these pastors but we do not know the reality.

Can you listen to yourself. How can he say who is a man of God or a child of God, is he God. Can you enter a school and award yourself a degree? if you can't, how will you expect a man to award such a degree on another.

He has attested to the pastor based on his relationship with him. Many has been attesting to Buhari's sanctity without any personal relationship with him and you accept it, but when you see others attest to another of a different religious background you disregard it.

Change your mind set young man.
