Are you saying only the dead man's sister and you know about this supernatural act ? So no news channels were interested in this story ? Why would you want to keep such an 'act of power' quiet ?

So what proof do you want? You ask for proof , I gave you a number now you are asking for tv report. I've always questioned the sincerity of your demand. Do you want truth or not? .

Let me add this. There are mighty miracles that Gid wrought through others in CEC. we are not as carnal to be looking for publicity . We project the message of jesus and not ourselves. The president of Ghana Got healed in the healing school . Did you hear it on tv? But we watched the testimony . You guys look at this things from feebly perspective. A dead was raised , we should gather newspaper. We are too busy.

I don't want to be involved. He will take you to the sister if you wish. He is even based in lagos now. He can take you to their family. We don't have fake testimonies. Miracle takes place in CEC regularly.

@kunleoshob
I wish for once you can look at things objectively .without using sentiments.

I told you to reach me through my mail. And besides you're not quoting me properly. Since you won't let me rest .for anyone who cares to find out. I will give you the number of the brother to the girl that died. His name is Godspower .ask him you heard his sister was raised from the dead, how did it happen. 08162601443.

Mabel asked a question the other day , you ran away, why using this ears wide thing to derail a thread. Why not resurrect the thread. This shows that your motive is not pure. I even said you should reach me through my e mail.

You are the fraud.

John 14:12
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father

Some people have asked how come we don’t see in our day the manifestation of mighty works and miracles as witnessed in the Old Testament. “How come we don’t see such acts as the Red Sea splitting open, and the sun standing still?” they ask. First of all, these things still happen, but they happen only when necessary. Splitting the Red Sea had to do with God bringing the children of Israel out of Egypt into the Promised Land. After Moses performed this mighty miracle, Joshua, Elijah, and Elisha also did at different times.

When Jesus came however, He did something higher than all what those previous prophets did. Instead of splitting the water, He walked on it (Matthew 14:25). That’s a greater miracle and it’s in the New Testament. The others split the water, because they never conceived the possibility of walking on water, but God was taking His children one step at a time.

For Philip, it was much better because he didn’t even have to walk on water; he was carried by the Spirit from where he was to where he needed to be:

“And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea” (Acts 8:39-40)

If you study the progression carefully, you’ll discover that we actually have greater miracles today than they had back then.

Comparing yesterday’s miracles with today’s miracles is like comparing yesterdays cars with today’s cars; the difference is clear. The Bible tells us how Jesus healed certain people without necessarily meeting them. He healed the centurion’s servant who wasn’t within proximity. Today, we transmit some of our outreach meetings live via satellite and the internet, and it’s glorious to see how in a single meeting, people in different parts of the world receive miracles simultaneously. These are today’s miracles.

Understand that we’re the ones at the last lap of the relay; the generation that will see the rapture of the Church. Therefore, we should expect to experience a greater move of the Spirit like never before in our day. We’re going to thoroughly shake this world for Christ, and after then, the rapture will take place. So expect greater miracles in our day!

Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the revelation of your Word that confirms indeed that the glory of the latter is greater than that of the former, as evidenced by the miracles that are wrought today by your Spirit, through faith in the Name of Jesus. I’m properly positioned to experience the greater and, mighty move of the Spirit in my day and will do wonders in my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

It was a Jewish practice. We don't need the Olive oil nor palm oil. The sacrament we have to take is the communion

If a man is born of God , he receives the nature of righteousness as a gift. Every christian has righteousness.They are as righteous as christ in the sight of God.

The devil of course, why would you link it with God

As we examine the lives of some bible characters that rose to positions of great power and authority, I pray that God will grant us the grace to overcome in this area of life in Jesus name. Amen!

I think you should give proper direction to your post. Are you of the opinion that it is wrong for Christians to hold political office? Do you think it is lust for power that will make a christian engage in politics or service.

@fredesere

surveying the spiritual state of the countries in the southern African sub-region. Central to all this was the state of evangelicalism in all these countries. Nation after nation reported on the arrival of “Nigerian religious junk” that was changing the landscape of what there once was of evangelicalism

It is easy to criticise others. Leave judgrment to christ. But at least they are doing something .Jesus would rather have you go out there and preach the gospel to sinners than sit in front of a computer doing busy body. I would rather give thanks to God for blessing Nigeria with such great grace to have the gospel so rooted here and also for raising international ministers from Nigeria to other nations of the world. It is rather answers to the cry of many. Europeans brought religion to africa. But Nigerians are taking the gospel to them. With the supernatural. I once heard juinita bynum talked about the fast food anointing in America, she said "if you want to see the raw power of God , Go to africa! .

All these "old time religion" stuff is the junk. The gospel must be preached with power. The only way you can prove that the Jesus that died Is still alive is to show his power. Deliverance ,healings and the miraculous are integral part of the gospel . Without supernatural, Christianity will not be different from any dead religion.

Migration of Nigerian folks to Ukraine , Europe ,Asia etc is answer to the cry of many. It is not about money. Do you know how much it cost to hold a crusade. It's 20 times more than the offering people will give there.This is even an understatement. Apart from money spent on publicity which is mega.  To hire a chair alone cost about 40 naira. And many may not even give offering offerings  yet they sit on 40 naira chair. This is outside other rentals of  Equipment and logistics,generator ,venue payment, power cable etc which cost several millions. But a carnal minded man sees crowd in a crusade and he feels wao! The man of God will make a lot of money here. how carnal? Crusades take a lot of sacrifice financially and otherwise. Men are sacrificing a lot to reach the world for christ. Jesus said "Go ye into all the world and preach"  are you going Ye? Jesus is coming soon.

I have just returned from a consultative meeting in South Africa where the first day was spent surveying the spiritual state of the countries in the southern African sub-region.

Leave consultations , Go ye! . All these  spiritual dictective works is sign of idleness for a christian as far as I'm concerned. If any one preaches the gospel with wrong motive. Leave him alone, you rather go and preach with a right motive.

Philippians 1:15-18
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; [/b]and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

You can see.Leave such alone , you rather do your own work for the lord. A man that is busy for christ does not engage in busybody work.

[b]1 Peter 4:15
15 But let none of you suffer . . .  as a busybody in other men's matters.


Reinhard bonke and Benny hinn could have been termed as extorters of money , for holding crusades in Africa as well. It is the work of the holy spirit.

You can't cut off a demon. If a man has problem with the spirit of lust, cutting off his flesh is not solution. Lust is in the heart. He can only get rid of it by applying the word or by casting the spirit of lust out.

Ephesians 4:13
…Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ

If you observe the Apostle Paul’s communication in his Epistles to the Churches, you’ll discover that the level of their revelation determined how he communicated with them. To the Corinthian Church for example, he said

“And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able (1 Corinthians 3:1-2).

Paul chided them for walking as babes in Christ whose understanding of spiritual realities was yet shallow. Thus, he fed them with milk; baby food, because they couldn’t grasp the higher revelations – meat of God’s Word. How important it is for us constantly grow in Christ and increase our knowledge of the Word of God! Too many in the Church today fit the description Paul gave of the Corinthian Church; they’re still in the babyhood stage of Christianity. But God’s purpose is not for us to be spiritual toddlers, but to grow unto perfection and function at higher levels of His truth.

It brings to mind the words of Jesus in Matthew 1:26 for example, where He referred to healing as the children’s bread. In there words, the babes in Christ – spiritual infants – are the ones that require healing. Whereas the Lord’s desire is for you to mature in the things of the Spirit, and come up to a level where you no longer fall sick, requiring healing! It’s a level where you’re fully conscious that divine health is at work in you NOW, because the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, quickens, vitalizes, repairs, and energizes your mortal body (Romans 8:11).

God wants you to function in the higher revelations of His Word; and the level of truth in which you function is largely dependent on how acquainted you are with the Spirit of God and His Word. The Holy Spirit is your Teacher. Ask Him today, and He’ll teach you the Word of God and impart higher revelations to your spirit that’ll cause you to walk in His greater levels of wisdom, power, and glory

Do you believe in the bible ?

tbjfansuk:
Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor's mentor late Bishop Idahasa stood in Tafabalewa Square and rain insult upon insult on TB Joshua calling him names. He prophesied then that "by this time next year TB Joshua will die" that was said by Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor's mentor late Bishop Idahosa. Exactly one year Idahosa died; Who is the false prophet here?

TB Joshua has helped millions and still helping people

If you say one shouldn't judge , I think you should avoid falling into thesame trap. I haven't seen a reason binlically to call TB joshua a devil. Those who call him so are only judging by senses and hear say. We should judge according to truth. The man believes in Jesus as his lord. He may not be perfect in action and doctrine. Bit that is not enough reason to label him evil. Early apostles were neither perfect too.

But I think it will be wrong of you to call idahosa or any one who has condemned TB joshua as false. They walked with the level of knowledge they had.Idahosa had been called juju man also in the days if his miracle crusades. So let's leave men of God alone. As long as they believe in the lordship of christ , we have no right to call them otherwise . It's God that should judge the heart.

You can use Àsé for Amen. Na the same.

Matthew 28:19 MSG
Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Our opening verse above underscored your responsibility in discipleship; you’re to teach and train those in your world in the way of life – the God-life. So, when Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…” as rendered in the King James Version, He called attention to your responsibility in discipleship; your calling to teach and train others, and show them how to live.

Every child of God has a responsibility to disciple someone else. Lets again observe the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:19, this time, reading into the twentieth verse: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and , lo. I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Notice that He says, “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you…” That’s means whatever Jesus has commanded us, we’re to tell others to do the same, and teach them how to do it.

This is why each one of us must disciple others. To disciple means to teach or to train. It also means to convert to doctrines or principles. It describes an endeavour where you go beyond yourself to guide a young uncommitted believer into a committed and growing Christian life. It involves you taking interest in someone who hasn’t known much about Jesus, though he may have given his heart to Christ for salvation. You can help that one through follow up and intercession to stand firm in the faith. You can disciple him or her to become committed in going to Church; you can help that one find his way.

You may say, “But I’m still a new Christian. I only gave my life to Christ last year; what can I possibly teach someone else?” Well, you don’t have to wait till you’ve been in Christ ten years to disciple someone else. Once you understand that Jesus Christ is the Lord of your life, and you’ve made the declaration of His Lordship and a commitment to him, you become responsible for someone else who hasn’t known that much.

Take up that responsible position of leadership today, for that’s who you are – a leader and a responsible Christian, trusted by God to train, mentor, and nurture someone else to stand strong in the Lord. What a great responsibility!

Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for entrusting me with the great responsibility of training and mentoring others to be committed to the things of the Spirit. I declare that I have the divine wisdom and power of the Spirit to guide these ones aright in the way of the Lord, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

No cloud image,I learnt it was an actual face in the clouds in Somalia

what kind of christianity is your own?. Are you born again or you just attend a pentecostal church. if you understand christianity you will know that there is no salvation in any other faith. we are not serving thesame God.christ is the only way.

26. Matthew 23:23 (Whole Chapter)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

If tithe was not part of the law then why did Jusus mention "weightier matters of the law" Jesus gave his life for us so we can be delivered from the law.

Tithing was part of the law. But it didn't originate under the mosaic law. It pre existed the law

aigboeben:
Do creative miracles still take place?

Very yes. Short legs grow out. Woman without womb got pregnant. And so on.

Do you know of pastors who possess such ability in Nigeria or overseas?Have you seen or received one?

Every christian posses the ability. The holyghost brought the ability to us.several people have testimonies of such msnifestations which takes place through certain ministers and Christians. But so far no one has been able to lay claim to control it. It happens by the spirit.

I agree that some people might have communicated the issue of tithes wrongly through threats etc,Just like salvation could have been communicated wrongly by threats . But that doesn't take away. The blessings of paying tithes. Besides when a christian give for any reason ,he is not disadvantaged. He is blessed for every giving. It is a lie of the devil that people get impoverished by giving to God. For every giving there is blessing. Except if the giving was done through wrong motives like the Pharisees.

If cloud formation looks like a human face,it's purely coincidental .besides How do they know how Jesus face look. The catholic created picture for Jesus and for the apostles.

i would advise us to be cautious about our response cos not all you read in the news is true, this i know for a fact.
for example, there was a time it was in the news that my pastor just aquired a private jet. there where even pictures of the jet and the internals in the papers. we all bwlieved it to be true including church members.
the funny thing is that my pastor did not even bother to refute the story to the church and im sure some members will be already be congratulating him.
he just mentioned it briefly to the workers and said God justifies him, dat there was no reason for him to go shouting that its not tru dat he doesnt own a jet.
till today im sire some church membrs and nigerians still belivs he has a jet.
ordinary google has his name on d internet as one of d pastors dat owns jets.
so guys be careful.
irony is no paper mentions so many of the good things the church does for the community like building schools and equiping public schools, homeless founsation etc

Oh! he's your pastor

I think he is of CEC.

The bishop has an oil rig given to him. Which spins money.  If a ministry feel there is need to have one. Nothing stops them. So who says, it was bought with tithes and offerings. Besides A Jet is only a vehicle. Made for human being.

Hmmmn, Dirty site? Enlighten us dude . What makes the site dirty?

the question is . " should christians give?' . tithing is only a part of the many givings we do. probably the least part for some people. why is there so much attack on tithe. if you shout at the fact that a man give only 10percent , what about those who are giving all to God. those who give their cars, land house etc. to God. these argument over 10 percent is funny.

You guys detest me and probably to many others.
Nonsense! what happened to Jesus? When Jesus was at the Temple, other than hawking his wares he chased out the merchants. You are the merchant he chased out.

what has the post got to do with merchanting dude. pastor chris is doing the work of christ by calling nations to prayers. Thats the primary thing he personaly use the internet for. he prays at certain hours of the day for the world. and wants us all to join him at those hours in prayer. if you sign up on yookos and follow pastor chris in prayer , you will recieve sms on those hours of prayers concerning the direction of prayers for that day. we currently interceding against deaths in all these uprising and dissasters in the world. every time there is loss of lives , it is the devil at work. those thousands that have died without christ are in hell now. So thats the idea .
