The Gospel is all about Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross....... It is not about what you do or don't do.... All you need do is believe that Christ died for you and was raised on the third day by God for your justification....

promise101:
Exactly, at first I HATED him, I thought he was preaching heresy. I never knew that the grace of God(Jesus) he was preaching is something that can really break the power of sin and ADDICTION.
It really took me some time, going through the scriptures on my own for several times, and discovering the truths my mosiac and elijiac pastors are hiding from me, just to prevent the growth of sin in church, but EVEN AT THAT, people in churches, both senior pastors, GOs, Bishops, are still not sinless perfect.
When I had never heard him preach, I was just a christian living by law(right living) but contradicting(confusing) myself to be under grace. And in that position I was struggling with masturbation(early stage), yet I was pretending because people I preach to in my school call me pastor. And really, then I preach, lay hands on people and they will be healed, and many other signs that followed me.
But, I really fooled myself!
And the worst part of everything is that, the more I try to stop it by myself and prayers, it couldn't work. It worsened!
That's why in nairaland and anywhere else, I will always fight against any gospel of righteousness which is not of faith(works- right living), no matter who is saying it. Because, both the preacher IS GUILTY OF IT. Everybody, yet pretending!
But, what really saved me was that, I discovered that TRULY, Jesus was punished for the eternal sins of the whole world including mine. And he has abolished the Laws that I was STRIVING to keep, he has been made the CURSE of the law in my place, he is the AUTHOR of eternal savaltion, he has ABOLISHED the ENMITY between man and God, so therefore, there is no enmity between me and God, despite the sin I have committed because Jesus was punished for it.
And the most powerful one that saved me is; JESUS IS MY RIGHTEOUSNESS(through by faith), not right living which is of works.
So what about my early stage addiction?
Yea, at a time, I love Jesus so much, more than I thought I could ever do. After that, I NEVER FOR A DAY STRIVE TO STOP IT!
But guess what? I just never knew how it stopped, to be frank.
And now, I HATE it with all my soul, body, heart. And I really look forward to seeing anybody in such a condition, to help the person out easily, with the gospel of no condemnation(Jesus).
The gospel of Jesus, is the power unto salvation unto them that BELIEVETH.

The Lord is your strength my brother. I see how you always try to teach dem about Grace here.... The Gospel of Grace has taken over the world.... it is the POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION!!!!

grevotech:
This made my change so much... Religion had eaten deep. Even Creflo Dollar has started teaching this grace message.
The Law can never take us our of Addictions and struggle... Rather it makes us go deeper into it. This help me do away with Addictions... So many of them.

Yes so true!! The Gospel of grace has taken over the whole world.... so many Christians now know the truth and so many unbelievers have come to Christ.... God is using Joseph Prince mightily and whenever people praise him, he tells them that it is Christ working through him not of himself..... India and China are turning massively to Christ.... I am soo happy so many people are getting saved!!! Grace is a person and dat is Jesus Christ...... No amount of Law keeping or law preaching can do what Grace has done. All glory to God Almighty and our Saviour Jesus Christ!!!

grevotech:
The Grace Message. The first time I heard this guy I was blessed. At first my head could not handle it but with time I got to understand what Grace was About.

Yes!! So true!! I always thank God for making me know Joseph Prince!!! All he does is lead people to Jesus Christ and unveil the power of the cross!! My life has changed tremendously and i am reigning in life!!! Right Believing leads to Right Living... The Gospel is all about Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross.

Mocheddah please forgive and move on.

Pastor Prince, I grew up in a non-Christian household. My parents were kind, but I always felt empty. I yearned for a father who loved me and started looking for this love in the wrong places.

I lived according to the flesh and was attracted to darkness. I desired men in my mind. I was selfish and was always concerned with the way I looked. I was also a loner and was very fearful about everything.
In my late twenties, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I was put under medication but they only dealt with the symptoms because my fears didn’t go away. I began to gain a lot of weight until I was two hundred pounds. I became very angry and bitter.

Then around 2013, I felt the urge to turn on the television to watch some religious programs. I stopped at Trinity Broadcasting Network and Destined To Reign was on. When I listened to you, it was like my heart opened.
You spoke of a loving heavenly Father who is kind and merciful. I heard of how He sent His Son to save me. I learned that Jesus accepts me the way I am regardless of what I’ve done. At the end of the broadcast, I prayed the salvation prayer with you. I let Jesus into my heart and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior.

Since that time, I’ve ordered many resources from you and I watch your broadcast every day. Thank you, Pastor Prince, for preaching the gospel of grace. I found the love that I was looking for all my life. It’s God’s and the Lord Jesus’ love for me that fills the emptiness of my heart. Praise and glory to our God.

Today, I’ve lost over thirty pounds. God has restored my body and youth. I’m no longer taking medication because my mind works supernaturally great. The desire for men is completely gone. My fears and worries have disappeared. I feel joyful. I know whatever the enemy throws at me, I can trust Jesus to see me through it. I walk in the light and not darkness.

Today, I share the gospel with my husband and my two kids. Under your teaching, I’m able to have little Bible studies with my kids, and it has brought us closer together. My family is also part of a loving local church.

Thank you, Pastor Prince, for your preaching of the true gospel. All the praise and glory to our God and our Lord Jesus.

Leviticus 1:9
…And the priest shall burn all [the pieces of the bull] on the altar as a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord.

When Jesus was on the cross, He did more than just die for your sins. His one sacrifice did not just remove your sins, but it also clothed you in His righteousness and perfection. Jesus became the true “burnt sacrifice”.

In the Old Testament, whenever someone offered a burnt sacrifice, the perfection of the animal came on him. In the same way, every perfect attribute of Jesus your “burnt sacrifice” comes on you when you take Him as your Savior. And because God sees you clothed with Christ, you have the same acceptance and favor with Him that Jesus has!

When Jesus was offered on the cross, the fire of God brought out His perfections like perfume to God. In that one sacrifice, Jesus’ obedience and perfections rose as “a sweet aroma to the Lord”, which is what is emitted when the offering is burnt. This “sweet aroma” speaks of a savor of rest to God. Jesus’ perfect sacrifice gave God so much satisfaction that He rested.

You can also rest in the perfect sacrifice of Jesus, knowing that what He did, He did for you—“Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma”. (Ephesians 5:2) You can rest knowing that God the Father is satisfied with you because His Son’s sacrifice has caused His heart to rest with regard to you. You can rest because Jesus is God’s satisfaction for you.

Today, as you come before God, say, “Father, I thank You that Jesus is such a delight and joy to You. He satisfies Your heart completely. And what He did, He did for me. Because Jesus so satisfies You, I know that You are satisfied with me. Because Jesus is Your delight, I am also Your delight. Because Jesus so pleases You, I know I please You too. And because Jesus is my righteousness and perfection, I stand righteous and perfect before You.”

Beloved, when you speak of Christ and His finished work, it goes up to God as a sweet-smelling aroma, a savor of rest. And if God can rest in the perfect sacrifice of His Son, you can too!

Thought For The Day

You can rest because Jesus is God’s satisfaction, delight, righteousness and perfection for you.

I grew up in an environment where keeping the Ten Commandments was upheld as a virtue and a sign of being born again. I was taught that God would punish me whenever I sinned, and if anything bad happened to me, it was because I (or my ancestors) did something wicked in the past. I was also taught that I could lose my salvation. As such, I spent years anticipating God’s punishment for my bad deeds.

I even pretended to speak in tongues in secondary school to appear holy. Shortly after that, I read that there was no forgiveness for sinning against the Holy Spirit. In my twelve-year-old mind, I thought I had committed the unpardonable sin by pretending to speak in tongues, and believed I was doomed for hell. I held this belief for more than twenty years.

I saw how impossible it was for me to do right every day by my own efforts. I would wake up in the morning and promise myself not to sin, but fail woefully every single time. I would also feel so guilty in church because I was unable to “crucify the flesh” as the pastor said we should.
I also lost friends because I was so tense and stressed out trying to please God. I even thought I was a better person than them because I was fasting, praying, and denying worldly pleasures for God. But in all of these, I never felt complete. I felt that if the rapture happened, I would be left behind because my life wasn’t perfect.

In 2010, I went for a tooth extraction and became very sick a few weeks after. Despite being an exercise buff, I would get extremely tired just from walking ten steps or taking a shower. I went for all sorts of tests and a CT scan but the doctors could not find anything.

On my own, I googled my symptoms and they matched those of chronic fatigue syndrome. I read that it could be caused by a dental procedure. Shortly after, I also heard a sermon that payback for our sins could come in anyway, even from something as simple as a tooth extraction. You can imagine how I felt! I thought the message was for me and that I was being punished for sins that I had committed. To make matters worse, most of my molars were cavity-ridden and hurt terribly. But there was no way I was going back to the dentist after hearing that message. I thought I would die if I did!

In December 2014, I started watching Destined To Reign , sometimes up to three times a day. I learned that I am the righteousness of God in Christ, and as Jesus is, so am I in this world. I also learned what it means when Jesus cried, “Finished!” on the cross, and how He had already taken my sins, condemnation, sicknesses, and unrighteousness.
After receiving all these revelations, I had the courage to visit the dentist five times last year and got my teeth fixed. During those visits, I even forgot that I once had fears about going to the dentist. Thank You, Jesus!

Reading my Bible used to be a chore for me. Today, I love it so much as I see Christ revealed in the Old Testament and His love poured out in the New Testament! Telling people about Jesus also used to be a chore before. Today, lifted by His grace, love, and His gift of no condemnation, no one can shut me up. I LOVE talking about Jesus! He truly works in believers both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

I have also been healed from physical exhaustion. Instead of panting like a dog after taking ten steps, I can now exercise like I used to. Moreover, I no longer carry a twenty-year burden of believing I’d committed the unpardonable sin and have even begun to pray in tongues.

Today, I am an entirely new creation in Christ and this transformation has nothing to do with my own efforts. It’s all because of what Jesus has done for me at the cross. Indeed, His strength is made perfect in my weakness.
Last but not least, God has blessed me in the area of finances. I am now an entrepreneur with business deals that literally fall onto my lap. My sister has also received Christ and I know that my entire family is next.

God bless you and your church, Pastor Prince!

1 John 2:1
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

If you want a glimpse of some real-life celestial drama, picture this: God the Father sits as Judge of the universe with Jesus Christ at His right hand, who is not only your High Priest, but also your Advocate.

When your accuser, the devil, comes along and says, “You have done this wrong and you have not done that right,” Jesus says, “Father, the devil is right, but My blood has paid for what the devil is accusing him of.”

Then the devil adds, “You have also not been reading the Bible or praying enough. And this morning, you told a lie.”
Again, Jesus will say, “Father, the devil has indeed reported correctly, but My blood has paid for all these failures.”
God the Father will then slam the gavel on the sound block and say, “Case dismissed! Next!”

You need to understand that God can justly declare you innocent and completely righteous because Jesus took your place at the cross, and shed His blood to pay for your sins and condemnation. (2 Corinthians 5:21) God is simply being faithful and just to what Christ has done.

When Jesus rose from the grave, He rose as your Advocate, your lawyer. But unlike most earthly lawyers who take on cases because it serves their interests and wallets, He is a lawyer who is personally interested in your happiness and well-being. Unlike earthly lawyers who are not caught up in the feelings and sufferings of their clients, Jesus went through great sufferings for you and paid with His own life so that you can receive all the blessings of God.

As your Advocate today, Jesus ensures that what He died and suffered to give you, you get! In heaven today, He defends and represents you to ensure that the healing, wholeness, protection and other blessings that He died to give you are enforced in your life. Beloved, have confidence in and rest in the ability of your Advocate!

tnks..ma nigga

you welcome

@OP, concerning those rubbish you wrote up there, may God have mercy on you. You and your Crew members that always parade in Hell fire and return with demonic messages... May God have mercy on you people.... So they now have departments of sin in Hell? They now have Big Sin & Small Sin? #smh And you saw Benson Idahosa and other men of God there? May God have mercy on you people......

This idea of using Hell Fire to threaten Unbelievers and Believers alike is soo archaic don't you think? The tricks stopped working on people since 2013. Go and ask Sister Linda ( una mother ), people are now wise and know the Truth. So using Hell Fire to threaten people no longer work.

And anybody that still believe this trash is a fooool. Yes,there is Hell Fire quite alright. But the only thing that sends people to Hell is REJECTING THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, which is THE BELIEF THAT CHRIST DIED FOR THEIR SINS & GOD RAISED HIM UP FROM THE DEAD ON THE THIRD DAY... John 3:16 is the Real Gospel.... Salvation is the work of God, man doesn't do anything in it. The only Work God requires of Us is to BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AS THE SON OF GOD & ACCEPT HIM AS OUR LORD & SAVIOUR.

Stop all these demonic message of Hell that you people use to threaten people, it doesn't work anymore. Stop portraying Jesus CHRIST as a monster.... You people are chasing people away from CHRIST with these kind of messages. When reading the Bible, rightly divide the word to know which set of people are being addressed and ask the Holy Spirit for understanding. Stop reading the Bible literally.

I concur..waiting patiently for IM3

IM3 is already out... go to 360nobs.com to cop it.

With the iLLegal Music 3 mixtape #IM3TheFinale set to drop any moment from now, M.I Abaga has just made the bold claim that he’s better than “over 95%” of rappers in the United States. He also goes ahead to say #IM2 is as good a mixtape as any mixtape or album we’ve seen in recent years, home and abroad. Interesting set of comments. Peep his tweets below.
Agree or nah?

Muafrika2:

You know another fact, it will not affect Africa so much. There was a major solar flair incident about two years ago. It was reported as "dancing northern lights" to avoid causing alarm.
That coupled with the changing magnetism of the earth and climate change are factors that are likely to Change the face of the earth so radically that human settlement and lifestyle especially will be greatly affected.
The next age is here already!

Yes... its true!!
