Lanre747: Ezekiel 37:24 And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. The prophets say David, not Jesus. Please help
Is this verse talking about the Milenial Reign of CHRIST? i don't think so.... The Millenial Reign of CHRIST is all about Jesus' earthly Kingdom reign dat God promised him.
In an exclusive telephone chat with Saturday Beats over the week, Nollywood’s most popular Twins, Chidinma and Chidiebere Aneke denied the skin bleaching allegations brought against them by some of their critics online.
The twins say they are still using the same cream they use before they came into limelight.
We still use the same soap we have been using. People ask us how we make our skin glow and we recommend the same things we use to them. They come back to tell us that it didn’t work for them. Our skin care product is not expensive, it is very affordable. I don’t know what they mean by we bleach our skin,” the outspoken of the twins sisters, Chidinma said.
When asked if they are in a relationship, Chidinma said: “There is a difference between my private life and my public life. That I am a celebrity does not mean people should know about my relationship. It is when we are getting married that we will let them know. For now, we are not in a relationship. We are not searching because the Bible says that he that finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour. We are not searching for men, instead, they should search for us. We cannot be searching; it is in the Bible, how can the woman be the one to be searching for a man?” It is against our belief”
Jozzy4: My point is : Apostle Paul said once he is caught up to meet the Lord in the air, he will always be with the Lord . You jiggaz said once you are caught up to meet the Lord in the air , you will later be returned to earth . That means you are not always with the Lord .but only for sometimes This is contradictory .
Yes Apostle Paul said dat and its not contradictory. We will be with the Lord in Heaven during the Great Tribulation on earth. And we will return to the earth with the Lord during the millenial reign of CHRIST. So i don't see what's contradictory here.
Jozzy4: Let me get your point : 1) you guys will go to heaven for now , but will be deported bak to earth for the millenial reign ?
Believers will be caught up in the air with Lord JESUS during the Rapture of the church.... Then after the Great Tribulation, Jesus will return to the world with his Raptured Saints ( thats the Second Coming of CHRIST ) to save the Jews from the anti-christ.... Then after that, the 1000 years millenial reign of Christ will start.
Wait, are u not a Believer Why are u saying you guys?
Jozzy4: According to the underlined , todays preaching and sermons are TOTALLY USELESS . Since The final preaching in death determines where they will go ?, then There is second chance in death ? Wow , anyone can live anyhow yahoo boy, prostitutes e.t.c afterall there is a provision for preaching . And chance to listen later . Todays preaching becomes USELESS ENTIRELY . But why is it that 4 days dead Lazarus, Mary, Martha, Jesus himself said nothing about this preaching stuff ? ( John 11:11-14) ? You are still proving it that todays preaching is TOTALLY USELESS . Forget the grammar ; they lived a bad lifestyle and enjoy life to the full , died and was preached to , then accept the gospel , they made heaven to be with God ? Yes or No . Die , go to heaven and then be deported back to earth . Why would God make you taste heaven only for him to deport you all back to earth ? Confusion grandeur. What will you say about this ? Paul said " we shall ALWAYS be with the Lord" . 1 The 4:17 Who is confuse between you both , Paul or Ayoku777 ?
My brother you are misunderstanding @ayoku777. what he was trying to tell u is dat, after the Millennial Reign of CHRIST on earth, Believers will not be goin back to Heaven again. Instead, there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth cos this present earth will pass away. Then, new Jerusalem which is the Great city of God will come down from Heaven...... My brother this new earth we are talking about will be PARADISE, it will be sooo beautiful and perfect, no Sickness or diseases. Its nothing like this present earth we are occupying now. Every Believer then will have an inheritance in New Jerusalem..... That's when Eternity will start and we shall forever be with the Lord. Jesus will be with all of us in New Jerusalem. This great city is 100 times more beautiful than TOKYO in Japan... . you can imagine that.....
jiggaz: Your STATE in life does not determine your STANDING with God... What is STATE & what is STANDING in dis concept you might ask....? 1) Your STATE in life is how you see yourself at a particular time and how u feel about life's issues.... 2) Your STANDING with GOD is how God sees you..... As a Believer in Christ, your state in life doesn't change how God sees you.... You might be feeling down, depressed, unwanted & not qualified to stand in the presence of God but you know what... God doesn't see you dat way.... When God looks at you, He is seeing JESUS... God sees us from the finished work of Christ... So no matter your state or condition in life, God's opinion of us doesn't change. We are His children which was made possible by the Salvation we have in CHRIST Jesus..... And He doesn't want us to lose sight of His Blessed Hope for us which is Eternal Life..... Watch the above video as Pastor Joseph Prince teaches on our right standing with God. Be at Peace beloved...... His promises for us will never fail...
jiggaz: Dis article is by Pastor Andrew Wommack Would God send His only Son to bear our sin, becoming sin itself, and then judge Him without mercy for that sin if His sacrifice wasn’t enough? No! Yet, many Christians act as though it wasn’t enough and continue to believe God is withholding His blessing because of their sin. It’s time to learn the truth. Over the years I have ministered to thousands of people directly who just won’t let the Bible get in the way of their theology. Religious traditions and widely-accepted teaching have become the basis of their beliefs, rather than the Bible. The results are obvious: Their relationship with Christ is profiting them little or at the very least less than God intended. These are people who have accepted Jesus as their Savior. Yet, they can’t get healed, they’re unhappy, depressed, fearful, and full of unbelief. That shouldn’t be! As you read, I encourage you to allow the Bible, God’s Word, to get right in the middle of your theology. Let me start by making this radical statement. If you’re conscious of sin, then you truly don’t understand the grace of your salvation through Jesus. It sounds radical, but it’s true. That is totally different than the way most people think. I’m not saying this to hurt anybody, because I understand; I struggle with the same thing. It’s different than what most of us have been told. But this is what God’s Word declares. God is not imputing, or laying to our account, our sin. Second Corinthians 5:19 says, “To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation,” (emphasis mine). Sin consciousness has been ground into us. Grace is not the way of the world. Your employer doesn’t hire you by grace and promise to pay no matter what you do; they have expectations of performance. In marriage, spouses don’t always love each other unconditionally. Even in most Christian families, children are either rewarded or punished based on their performance. In this earth almost everything is based on performance, and because it is, it always forces us to focus on our weaknesses. That performance mentality then transfers into religion where we’re taught to focus on our sin. However, where God is concerned, it’s just the opposite. In fact, sin isn’t even an issue with God. Why? Because our sin is not being imputed, or charged, to our account. It’s being charged to Jesus’ account, and He already paid the bill. I know a lot of churches that would throw me out for saying that, but it’s what the Bible teaches. It’s time to let the Bible get in the way of wrong theology. Hebrews is one of my favorite books of the Bible. I wish I had space to put the whole book into context because it has a lot to say about how God dealt with sin. Hebrews 9:11-12 says, “But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternalredemption for us,” (emphasis mine). If words mean anything, think about these words: Jesus entered in once! Do you know what once means in the Greek? It means once. It means He doesn’t do it over and over again. Every time you sin, the Lord doesn’t have to wait until you repent and then get that sin under the blood. Most Christians believe that when you’re born again, you get your sins forgiven up to that point. Then, every time you sin after becoming a Christian, you’ve got to run to the Lord with that sin and confess and repent, or you could be lost. If not lost and on your way to hell, then at the very least, God would not fellowship with you, and He certainly wouldn’t answer your prayers. If that were true, then everybody would be on their way to hell. There isn’t a person on this earth who doesn’t have either a known or an unknown unconfessed sin. Or, if sin just means the loss of relationship with God and unanswered prayers, then God wouldn’t have a single person qualified to receive an answer to prayer or fellowship with Him. Was Jesus enough or not? This is a huge issue. It’s the reason many believe God isn’t healing them or prospering them. They say out of one side of their mouths that He loves them and sacrificed His Son, Jesus, for their salvation, and then out of the other side, they say that He is still judging them for sin. Those are incompatible! Hebrews 9: 13-15 goes on to say, “For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance,” (underlines mine). It isn’t God who is condemning us when we sin; it’s our own consciences. We haven’t purged our consciences with the truth of what Jesus has done with sin. Satan knows that and is using it to condemn us and destroy our faith and confidence in God by reminding us we don’t deserve God’s blessing. Praise God, He isn’t giving you what you deserve; He is giving you what Jesus deserves.Jesus paid for sin one time, past, present, and even the sins you will commit in the future. How can that be, you ask? I don’t know exactly, but let me tell you this, Jesus only died one time for our sins two thousand years ago, so you better hope He can forgive your sins before you commit them.
Hebrews 9:25-28 says,
“Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with the blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgement: So Christ wasonce offered to bear the sins of many,” (emphasis mine).
God knows the end from the beginning and He knew all the sins of the whole world. Jesus paid for all those committed before His sacrifice and for all that had not yet been committed. He made the payment once and it will never be made again. The price for sin, all sin, has been paid!
We have received an eternal inheritance (Heb. 9:15) that cannot be taken away. Your inheritance is not temporary; it’s eternal. You aren’t disinherited and you don’t lose the benefits of being part of the family because of sin.
To understand this, you have to see yourself as God sees you. In your born-again spirit, you are as clean and holy and pure as Jesus is. Religion has you looking at your flesh. It has you searching the soulish realm of thoughts, attitudes, and feelings. But that is not what God is looking at. He is looking at your spirit, the part of you that’s become a new creation.
Second Corinthians 5:17 says,
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
And in John 4:24 we read,
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
What part of you is new? It’s not the flesh and it’s not the soul; it’s your born-again spirit. When you go to God in prayer and say “O God, I’m so ungodly and so unworthy, please forgive me, please answer my prayer,” you are not in the spirit; you are in the flesh. Your spirit is righteous, holy, and pure. Sin does not affect your spirit.
Am I saying sin is okay? Absolutely not! When you sin, you give Satan an open door to the soul, your mind and emotions, as well as opportunity to destroy your physical body. It’s just stupid to open yourself up to the devil.
Some of you may still be thinking, Well, I know God died once for all men, but His sacrifice still must be applied whenever we sin. Let’s allow God’s Word to get in the way of this wrong theology again.
Hebrews 10:10-12, 14 says,
“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified,” (emphasis mine).
This is not talking about your physical body or your soul; it’s talking about your born-again spirit. Your spirit is identical to the Lord Jesus Christ. It is sinless! Your soul and your body can be defiled by sin, but your spirit never can; it’s sealed forever.
Maturity in the Christian life isn’t about trying to grow your spirit up; it’s trying to educate, or renew, your mind to what you already have in your spirit. Your spirit is already perfect! You already have the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, and the rest. Your spirit is always happy, always rejoicing, and always healthy.
God loves you even though you’ve messed up, even though you aren’t perfect. He loves you not because of your performance but because of Jesus’ sacrifice. If you can ever get a revelation of what I am teaching, it will change the way you see God forever.
I have just completed a series that I know will help you settle this issue once and for all. This teaching series will give you a confidence in God that you have never experienced before. Self-condemnation will come to an end your faith will explode. It’s called The War Is Over
emmyskies: Wow. I so feel for these kind of people. If the core sinners go to hell, we shall cry 'it is because of his sins. How we wished he repented and turned to JESUS'. But if one who claims to be a 'christian', a 'church goer' doesn't make the kingdom, what shalt we then say? "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. " (Matthew 13:13-16) "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12) Right from the time of JESUS, there hast been false teachings which doth lead many astray. Its sad bro
It is you i feel sorry for, so keep your pity for yourself. You that is a Real Christian, you and your kind now have the POWER to know who will make Heaven and who will go to Hell....? I am shaking my head for you!!!! You people and your kind are the modern day Pharisees, always condemning people thinking they themselves are super holy..... I laugh at you... your so called Holiness is a filthy rag before God. I claim my own righteousness in CHRIST Jesus cos the day i gave my life to CHRIST, CHRIST imputed His righteousness into me. My life is no longer mine, but it now belongs to Jesus. My Spirit man is perfect and blameless just like CHRIST is in Heaven. My Soul & Body are not yet perfect but still going under change through the help of the Holy Spirit. I am the righteousness of God in CHRIST Jesus and i submit everything to Him for His own glory alone.
On the other hand, you & ProphetUdeme dat are now very Holy and have the right to decide on who will enter Heaven or Hell, make una kontinu. You people are the perfect example of the modern day Pharisees and you know what JESUS said of them in the Bible? I am not perfect and i claim my perfection through our Lord Jesus CHRIST.
So Mr Perfection, keep your pity to yourself. I am perfect in Our Lord Jesus....
Kei144: Don't be lost, brother. my previous post is in support of your OP. Jesus took away our sins, our sicknesses, our poverty. So, right now we are holy, perfectly healthy and very rich. It is not proper for any believer to pray for holiness, healing or material wealth. All that a believer needs to do is believe that s/he is holy, healthy and rich; they will all become reality.
JOSEPH PRINCE - Pray The New Covenant Prayers with Boldness
What’s the key to constantly experiencing answered prayers? Are all the prayers recorded in the Bible model prayers for new covenant believers? Joseph Prince dives into the Word and reveals the answers in this foundational message. Discover why God wants us to pray only new covenant prayers today, how we should understand the Lord’s Prayer in the light of the cross, and what it means to pray “in Jesus’ name.” Learn also about the new covenant prayer that never fails to guard your heart with divine peace. Turn your prayer life around as you begin to pray bold, powerful, and effective prayers today!
Kei144: 2Co. 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has already made every believer in Christ rich. In fact, every believer in Christ is extravagantly rich. And any pastor who preaches principle of prosperity to believers in Christ does not believe in the grace of God.
emmyskies: It is finished work JESUS CHRIST did, does that give you liscence to live a carefree life? You are correct, heaven will indeed be full of so many suprises -Matt 7:22-24 Only those found in JESUS CHRIST forms the true church, not denominational -Eph 5:27 JESUS is good, yes, which will be more reason why there would be many suprises on the last day, because many don't know our good LORD is also a consuming fire -matt 25:41, Heb 12:29
Where did i say you have to live a carefree life as Believer? Dat u are saved today, is it by your own making? No, it is God dat did it. Let me even ask you a question..... For those of you dat believe it is your works & self righteousness dat will maintain your Salvation, How do you know dat your name is in the book of life? By your WORKS i guess? You are delusional!!! If its by your WORKS dat you keep your Salvation then no man will make HEAVEN cos your works & self righteousness is a filthy rag before God Almighty!!!!!
And as for you ProphetUdeme, i pity you cos you are bound by serious Religious Spirits. You need light my brother.... And you are living a suffocated life and i can imagine the psychological trauma u must be going through. Christianity is not a Religion but its a way of life and CHRIST is the center of it all. You are practicing JUDAISM and mixing it with Christianity. My brother plz allow the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the real person of Jesus. Jesus has set us free from the Law, so why are u still bound by it? Christianity is not Bondage......
I am a Christian dat believes in the finished work of CHRIST and since i discovered the Truth about Grace, i now see God as ABBA FATHER and things are moving fine for me . I am a joint heir in CHRIST. As Jesus is in Heaven, so am i here on earth. So if you want to be living a depressed life as a Christian, be my GUEST!!!!
@ProphetUdeme You are sooo fake!!!! Who still believe all these Nigerian tales of hell in dis 2015? What kind of suffocated life are you even living?
Jesus Christ died and brought us Salvation... it is now left for people to accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.... Dis self righteousness and depressed life won't get you anywhere, instead you will be depressed the more.... Your self righteousness is like a filthy rag before God, do you hear me? You are actually telling God dat Jesus' FINISHED WORK on the cross is not enough and you have to add your own... And dat is PRIDE. You are not saved by your WORKS!!! If not for Jesus, nobody will smell HEAVEN!!!
Your type is the reason unbelievers reject the Gospel cos u people have perverted the true Gospel by preaching condemnation to them.....
Go and mark it anywhere.... So many people will make Heaven... So many will be Saved on the last day.... John even said it in the book of Revelation...... Left to you people, it will be ur church members only dat will make Heaven but God is not man.....
So please stop all these your condemnation message and holier than thou attitude , its sooo 20th century-like. We are in the time of Grace and the TRUE GOSPEL is spreading all over the world and liberating people from Religious traditions and leading them into Christianity ( which is a way of life & Christ teaching about His finished work ).
Your problem is dat you are bound by RELIGIOUS SPIRIT which Is making you miserable and depressed... Plz you need liberation.... I know your type in real life, always condemning everyone and thinking its only their Church members that will make Heaven.
Heaven will be full of surprises... Our Lord is Good and Jesus is Lord!!!!!
starlingslimnet: Brother, Thank you a lot for sharing this with us.But I will like to point out some loopholes in this teaching of yours for the enlightenment of others. If all you said were you be so, why then did Apostle Paul warn the church in Galatians that they will not inherit God's Kingdom if they continue in their sinful ways Gal 5:19-21 despite they believe in the atoning blood of Christ? Don't you think this is in direct contradiction with the teachers views of "Salvation"? Bro, you keep quoting Hebrews, will you permit me to direct your attention to this verse you overlook in the book of Hebrews? Here is it, Heb 10:26-29 " For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins[/b[, but[b] a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? I will like you to answer the question in bold.
Brother there are so many contradicting verses and chapters in the Bible and its because we read Bible like an ordinary book and thereby reading it out of CONTEXT..... It takes the leading of the Holy Spirit to understand... There are different circumstances for different chapters and verses in the Bible..... The article i posted is self explanatory enough..... Everything is explained there. Its only left for you to believe or not..... Pray for God to open your eyes to understand the message of Grace. Good nite.
Your STATE in life does not determine your STANDING with God... What is STATE & what is STANDING in dis concept you might ask....?
1) Your STATE in life is how you see yourself at a particular time and how u feel about life's issues....
2) Your STANDING with GOD is how God sees you.....
As a Believer in Christ, your state in life doesn't change how God sees you.... You might be feeling down, depressed, unwanted & not qualified to stand in the presence of God but you know what... God doesn't see you dat way.... When God looks at you, He is seeing JESUS... God sees us from the finished work of Christ... So no matter your state or condition in life, God's opinion of us doesn't change. We are His children which was made possible by the Salvation we have in CHRIST Jesus..... And He doesn't want us to lose sight of His Blessed Hope for us which is Eternal Life.....
Watch the above video as Pastor Joseph Prince teaches on our right standing with God. Be at Peace beloved...... His promises for us will never fail...
