you have time o, the guy is always dreaming of prosti.tutes , and loves talking of breasts. Filthy minds that needs renewal or a complete regeneration. Playing with dirty filthy words that he enjoys alone. Hus postings only reveal a lifestyle.

Colossians 2:15
And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Paul’s letter to the Church at Ephesus in the sixth chapter of the book of Ephesians lets us in on the possibility of a structure of the devil and his demons. So he talks about the different orders and principalities:

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

So there are principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world.

Also, Paul refers to the highest cadre as wicked spirits in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 AMP). These set up their thrones and operate in the heavenly places; they control large dominions, rule over nations and regions. They also control the affairs of men who yield themselves to the devil. But as you study Ephesians 2:6, you observe that you’ve been raised together with, and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You’re seated with Christ, far above all principality and power and every organization of the adversary. That means you’re superior to even the highest ranking demons!

Realize that you occupy the place of authority in Christ, far above satan and everything that’s connected to him. Satan is a defeated foe, who’s been stripped of all power, influence and dominion. So, it doesn’t matter if he assigns himself or his demons to monitor your activities and try to ruin things for you, they’ve been programmed to fail! In Christ, you defeated satan and all his demons and overcame all the manipulative and evil structures of the world set up by him. Colossians 2:15 (MSG) describes the current dismal and completely powerless state of satan and his cohorts after what Jesus did to them: “He stripped all the spiritual tyrants in the universe of their sham authority at the Cross and marched them naked through the streets.”

So for you as a child of God, the devil and his demons don’t count, so never be afraid of them. Not only has Jesus given you power and authority to cast out devils (Mark 16:17), He also made you superior to satan and his demons. So you shouldn’t have a care in the world about satan and his evil structure and activities in the earth, for you’re seated with Christ in the place of power, “far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21).

Confession
I am seated together with Christ in the heavenly realms, far above principalities and powers, where I reign and rule as a king in this life. I live in dominion over sin, sickness and infirmities, and I’ve overcome the world!

Hebrews 4:14
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

Ephesians 2:5-6
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever .

Some Christians think the Holy Spirit sometimes goes on a break, or takes a recess just because at such times they don’t “feel” His presence. You don’t have to “feel” God to know that He’s with you. Rather, you ought to know that He’s with you always, because the Word says so. Jesus said, “…and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” (Matthew 28:20). He didn’t say, “I’m with you only when you can “feel” that I am.” Many have reduced their experience of Christianity to the carnal realm of feeling, and that so wrong, for we walk by faith and not by sensory perceptions (2 Corinthians 5:7).

But you might want to ask, “What if someone, having received the Holy Spirit at the New Birth, backslides and feels that the Holy Spirit has left him or her, is this just a feeling or was the Holy Spirit actually frustrated with all the sin in such a person?” Well, God is not a man (Numbers 23:19), and He doesn’t act like some earthly parents who wouldn’t relate with their kids for doing something wrong. Sadly, this is the poor perception of God that some folks have.

That you did something wrong won’t make the Holy Spirit leave you. Remember, you weren’t made right with God because of your own righteousness; it came because God gave you His righteousness. Thus, His presence with you isn’t dependent on what you did right or wrong, or the way you feel. His presence is dependent on His infallible Word; because of His love! That’s the reason He’ll never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).

Read again the words of Jesus in our opening verse, He said “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever” (John 14:16). God the Father, through the Holy Spirit abides with you forever, not sometimes. Don’t consider what your feelings tell you. As long as you haven’t willfully rejected Christ and His sacrifice of salvation for you on the Cross, the Holy Spirit cannot and will not leave you!

Even when you err and start feeling as though the Holy Spirit has left you, it’s still the Holy Spirit who guides you unto repentance, proving His presence with you even at such times. If He left you, you could never return to Him. But He wouldn’t, for He’s with you to fulfill His ministry in your life, till Jesus comes. Hallelujah!

Well what you need to remember is the fact that I and christ are one. And you guys are the religious people. Time is vital. a spiritual man does not engage his precious time with unproductive venture. I'm only following scriptures.

 Ephesians 5:16
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

 Romans 16:17
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences [/b]contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and [b]avoid them.

You can go all the way in your yaaabiis with your kind ,but  Its not my turf ,
 
You should try do a study on what us called the fruits of the spirit.

Answer the matter and stop trying to look righteous. Straining at a gnat yet swallowing a camel.

Well at this time I may advise you to shove the question down your throat.

2 Timothy 2:23-24
23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all[ men], apt to teach, patient, 

Oh I see. . . But first you should know I don't want to be discussing with you. You are not a discussant . You get things messy and if care is not taken , unintended wrong words will be used. I have on few occasions have asked God for forgiveness for certain use of words. So the best thing for me is to avoid as much as possible those who cause offences.
I will respond to the post, but I'm not discussing with you .

Is this the Donnie thread ? Let's cut the crab, There is enough to criticise any translation. Especially by religious people. Every translation will be criticised by them. So the criticism is not selling. The original manuscript couldn't be translated word for word. If you do it, you will alter the meaning it conveys, king James is one of the translations that tried to copy word for word but still ran into trouble because of the English syntax versus heberw and Greek . Certain words are missing. The English language is not rich enough to convey the meaning of all the passages. If you read  The first few versions of king James,you will not be able to make any sense of it.  Some alterations were later allowed, some words were added but in italics so as to show that they were not in the original manuscript. There are few occasions where a passage has more than one meaning in English.

So you have two options. Take it word for word  and lose the meaning,or substitute it to convey the true meaning and lose the originality of the syntactic  arrangements .The modern translations were necessary because king James will not want to modified too much, the newer translations are not too particular about Word for word interpretations, they are more concern about conveying the mind of the writer or the message the passage conveys. E.g. Message translation, amplified, living bible etc. There are passages that in English , it could mean more than one thing, eg 1cor 7:36. talking about the virgin.  NIV is honest enough to put the two opposing meanings in the footnote so that the reader can conclude by himself. A word in Greek will require a sentence to convey it. So if you want to criticise translations, you may get some applause . But we know better.     If you want to condemn NIV , get ready to condemn every translation. NIV is one translation that will add other schools of thoughts in it's footnote for the awareness of the scholar.

Why don't you answer all the questions yourself & your team have been running from since we chased you from Donnie's thread? Seems you're finally seeing the light for the first time and it is shaking your beliefs. Nowadays, you run away from threads. ole, koleja! Oole, ninu ireke

I didn't run , I will visit it. If there is anything to respond to.

Those who advocate that Christian should suffer poverty and lack on earth "for" Jesus should be ready for a shock of their lives if they should get to heaven. . He will ask them for all they ought to have done financially to build his kingdom. People they should have helped , bibles they should have distributed, individuals they ought to have empowered financially to stand,gospel equipment they should have bought etc etc.

Waooh! He is more handsome than I thought!

Tithes and offerings are based on principles of faith and worship in God, it is hypocritical when a man says he doesn't believes in tithes but he believes in offerings . They are both based on thesame principles. Tithes and offerings will always be part of our lives. Our giving to God is a vital part of our worship of God. Whoever can't give to God by some fabricated reasons , the love of god has not been perfected in his heart.

Abraham didn't commit fornication, he had permission of his wife.As a matter of fact he did it for her. In their culture those ,days, someone can give birth child on behalf of another person , either male or female.

Genesis 16:2
2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the Lord hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. 

Jacobs wives did thesame.

Thats the problem with you and your committee, when you have an issue or a disagreement with probably a member of the church you end up generalizing it and as far as you are concerned, his/her pastor is involved

If you do a transaction with somebody running his masters in an institution or somebody doing his ICAN and you are disappointed, would you say its the institution or ICAN that sent the person or will you deal with the person one on one

Please grow up jare

Is it Kunle yore taking serious?.

Has it occurred to you that you have a responsibility as a Christian. To let others know about the great salvation. You didn't get saved just to wait for the day you'll depart from the earth. Should winning is Gods number one business. He called you to call others. A Christian that does not win others to christ is actually committing a sin because he is living a selfish life. Every person that comes in contact with you should have opportunity to hear the message of salvation . Because God will hold you responsible for them.  

Ezekiel 3:18-19
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked[ man] shall die in his iniquity; but[b] his blood will I require at thine hand[/b]. 19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 

The same principle is still binding today. Many christians waste their hours on unproductive ventures. This is not a call for pastors . It is your calling as a christian. If you don't preach to others there is blood in your hand.
 
Acts 20:26-27
26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I[ am] pure from the blood of all[ men]. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God

One of the signs of your growth as a Christian is the awakening into the responsibility of the gospel. Use your time wisely to be productive in Gods kingdom.he called you so that you can win others out of the bondage of darkness    
  
Mark 3:14
14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

You can start today, with your immediate environment; your colleagues ,family members. By this you can make you life shine. Because there is reward for soulwinners.

Daniel 12:3
3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. 

Remember , one day, you will stand before the master, to give Account of what you did with Jesus while on earth especially with his number one job

Give Your Dreams Positive Interpretations

Jeremiah 29:80
For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed ().

In certain Christian circles, many believe that eating in your dream is ominous; they associate it with the activities of demons. But could there possibly be anything wrong with eating in your sleep? What’s the position of God’s Word on the subject?Let’s begin by reviewing

Isaiah 29:7-8: “And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel…shall be as a dream of a night vision. It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite…”

If a man eats in his dream and still wakes up hungry, it means he really didn’t eat anything. This therefore shows there’s nothing to eating in your dream; it’s just the imagination of your spirit.

Satan thrives on the fear and ignorance of people. If you had a dream for example, and then you’re uncertain about the meaning, satan could launch an attack against your mind by suggesting negative interpretations to that dream. Fear might then creep in, which ultimately could pave way for demons to have a field day. So the problem isn’t with the dream; it has a lot more to do with accepting the negative interpretation of the dream brought to you by satan.

So you ought to be smart to always subject your dreams to the Word of God. Don’t accept the lie from satan that eating in your dream is ominous; if anything, it means prosperity. Throughout the Bible, there’s no place satan gave people food to eat in a dream; only God fed people in their dream, example is Peter (Acts 10:9-15).

If you found yourself eating in your dream, don’t be afraid. Wake up and begin to prophesy: “I was eating in my dream; therefore I shall always have food. I shall always have plenty!” Don’t wake up crying that someone has bewitched you in your dream, for you’re a new creation in Christ Jesus, and every food you eat is sanctified by the Word of God and prayer. Besides, no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper, be it in your dream or in real life.

Confession
I’ve learned today to always cream my dreams. I refuse to base the outcome of my life on the lies and suggestions of the enemy. Rather, I see myself in the greater light of God’s Word as the true victor that I am. Hallelujah!

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Nothing is free dude. Others sacrifice to make things free. Gideon bibles in hotels were not printed free.Partners bought them to make it free. Because it cost billions to print those things. Thesame goes for rhapsody. Those who have the vision of making it free purchase it and make it free. I distributes free 100 copies monthly. But I paid for them . The printing ink is not free. People sponsor to make it free. Why do you lime free things anyway. The Facebook version is official . It's a community . There are about 4 groups.

But really we can make every rhapsody free both in print and online. If concerned people like you will sponsor it. It's a welcome idea. Just like the Gideons sponsor the bible. That's why Christians have to be financially loaded to do big things. We distribute. Millions of copies free monthly. We look forward to the day every copy can be free.

OLAADEGBU:
True Prosperity

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (III John 2)

This text has been misused by many who promote the modern false gospel of health and wealth—teachers who promise healing and financial success to every believer whose "soul prospereth." The negative implication of such teaching, of course, is that Christians who are not in robust physical health and enjoying material affluence are somehow lacking in faith and not in the will of God. Death is considered the ultimate lack of faith.

Stop your hypocrisy bros. what kind of car did your pastor use for his wedding? Veeeery classic car. I saw the picture. Why didn't he use an old jalopy dude. Your hypocrisy is irritating. If your pastor believes in prosperity , where did you carry your own false humility from?

frosbel:
Let me ask a simple question before I go any further.

What do the bible verses below mean to you in relation to its application in our lives ?

Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can't take anything with us when we leave it.So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 1 Timothy 6 : 6 -12

As Mabel said earlier, the line you've not been able to draw is between prosperity and covetousness . Are you saying God is against Christian prosperity? The scripture you quoted is about contentment and I don't have any trouble with that. We should live simple and contented life. The property of a Christian is not in eating with golden plate and spoon but being blessed enough to be a blessing. Money is only a tool in the hand of a Christian to touch lives.

God only commanded that the rich should not trust in his riches but in God and the rich should give .

Colossians 1:12.
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light (

Did you notice that this verse of scripture didn’t say “God will make us,” or “is going to make us partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light?” Rather, it says He “hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.” That means He’s already done it; we’ve been made partakers of a glorious inheritance – the inheritance of the saints in light. God the Father did this for us, in spite of ourselves. We couldn’t qualify for it on our own; He “made us meet,” that means qualified us to be partakers – sharers or joint-heirs of the inheritance.

Your good works or your own righteousness couldn’t qualify you for the blessing. But God in His infinite mercy and kindness qualified you for the good life. How exciting to realize that you don’t have to strive to be good enough for God. There’s no need to strive and work to merit His blessings, for it’s by grace. His righteousness is your qualification to be a partaker of the glorious inheritance He’s prepared for the saints.

Thus, all the glorious and precious promises in the Word that have come to us through Christ are your present hour possessions. Prosperity, healing and health, success, spiritual advancement and everything that’s required for your total well-being are all yours now. Many have been deprived the enjoyment of their glorious inheritance in Christ due to their ignorance of God’s Word: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… (Hosea 4:6).

God’s Word is the book of your inheritance; that’s why in Acts 20:32, the Apostle Paul, through the Spirit declares:

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”

This is the reason you must study the Word voraciously, for the Bible says, through knowledge – the knowledge of God’s Word – shall the just be delivered (Proverbs 11:9).

Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for qualifying me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. I declare that I’m walking in divine prosperity, health and peace, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

He doesn't really do predictions, his area of core competence are stage managed miracles and fleecing of the flock.
And the prediction as obviously failed to pass, since 2001 there was been economic boom which lasted for three years 2005-2007 after that we had economic crisis for two years 2008-2010. The economic crisis is already over even though the impact is slow in being felt. As at today we have a GDP growth rate of 7.1% one of the fastest in the world. That aside all the other counries in europe and a America have put the global financial crisis behind them and are on the path to recovery. Another glaring evidence that Oyaks is a false prophet. Thanks to Joagbaje for exposing him on that one  

You didn't listen I told you this in 2009. He predicted that there would be economic boom of 7 years and after that there would be economic crisis for another 7 years, ecxactly when the economic crisis started ,we were not surprised . And we also know what's coming next. Economic crisis is not over yet. Don't listen to wall street. Where were the wall street expert when it started . It took them by surprise, The word of God is more current than tomorrow paper. Get the tape and listen to it. He repeated thesame thing in 2005.

We should not forget that part of the synonyms for covenant = testament= Will.

@joagbaje
I am yet to see anybody preaching a poverty gospel on this thread neither as anybody said christians ought to be poor. What we are simply saying is that the gospel is not about material prosperity and the so called prosperity gospel was designed by the devil himself in the darkest pit of hell and it is being spread by his disciples[like yourself and oyaks] who have infiltrated the church to rob christians of their material wealth now and their future salvation. People would always be rich and poor with or without the gospel, stop doing your master's bidding and polluting the gospel for the sake of your greedy belly.

If you're not preaching poverty ,then what's your stress in the prosperity of the saints?

@newmi

newmi:
you are right o, how could a real man of God allow a love-peddler to pour expensive perfume from a questionable source on his leg! He even sat and ate with sinners. He no fear? if bonboi catch am! eeeh!

They actually did , they said Jesus miracle was fake. They said the blind man from birth was not really blind. When the man insisted like the Kenyan lady. They began to attack him. They sent people to kill Lazarus again so that the testimony will die. When that didn't work they said it is "SUNAMI JIMANJU" That it must be occultic power. BELZEBUB.

We can see , that the devil doesn't have new tricks. I now understand why the man of God doesn't borther himself with critics. There is no explanation that will suffice. It is a spirit . "he is fleeecing the flock" they will say. "he should " get a job. If he does a business it will turn into another wahala .
