KunleOshob:
Pastor Agbaje i have now come to the understanding that you are not a true christian but an adherent of the word of faith movement which is totally and entirely different from true christianity even though they they excerpts from the bible to hoodwink theirgullible sheeple. As a result of that i would restrain from have christian discussions with you as i now realize we don't belong to the same faith. But i would continue to implore you to turn away from your evil ways and give your life to christ, i would also remeber you in my prayers that God would deliver you from the shackles of oyakhilome and bring you to the true understanding of his word.
I never claimed any affinity with you .I dont belong to any word of faith movement or any a association. And I dont know if there is any movement like that . I only know that the word of God is word of faith. Faith comes by hearing the word. I am born again and christ is my life. You are the one doing teachings of jehovah witnesses. and needs to be born again and recieve the holyghost. stop blaspheming against the holyghost, stop attack against the church of christ and men of God. You join forces with sinners to make mokery of the body of christ which you dont belong( sorry if im wrong) but all evidence proves that. The first sign that a man is saved is in his love for the church and the brethren and not bringing the church to open shame.

There are several churches that I dont agree with their doctrines. but I wont come to the public and condemn their convictions , I only pray for understanding for them as i pray for your group of mockers and jesters.
Christ loves the church, and any one born of christ will love the church and not destroy it.

Ephes. 1:15
Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,



Col. 1:3-4
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, [4] Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,


Philemon 1:5
Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;

Which kind f church would use electric tasers on their congregation as a form of security huh What actually are they securing? The illicit tithes and extorted offerings which they collected? tongue
I didnt say they use electric taser on their congregation for security.Is taser not fairer than guns? People could use taser to demobilise a criminal until police comes.

why don't they rely on their "faith" to protect their loot? why use electric tasers?
It is alarming you can use such word as "loot" on people's precious offering to God.

But to answer the question.Yes,faith protects and security measures are not overruled in a wicked world.Didnt you read how the priest protected the rebuilding of the temple and walls of jerusallem when oppositions began to threaten them

Neh. 4:17-18
    They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a[b] weapon[/b]. [18] For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.


Jesus once told the deciples to arm themselves

Luke 22:36
    Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no[b] sword, [/b] let him sell his garment, and buy one.
[38] And they said, Lord, behold, here are two[b] swords[/b]. And he said unto them, It is enough.


Where did Peter get the sword he used to slice that other man

John 18:10
    Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.

Christianity EtcRe: So: God Can Write by Joagbaje(m): 10:01am On Feb 17, 2010
Yeaah! God writes,He even wrote on walls!

Daniel 5:5
In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.(6) Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.


He even wrote in my heart! If you want to see his writing he will write in your heart too if you will recieve his love and his life through christ , he will write in your heart

Jeremiah 31:33
I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.


2 Cor. 3:2-3
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: , written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

What are you GBAMING? It is not your measure that God use as standard for a pastor. Every pastor is a giver.You need a favourite pastor.you just need a pastor over you.

Besides pastor does not need acreditation and endorsement from ignorant folks.

John 5:41
I receive not honour from men.


John 5:44
How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?


2 Cor. 10:12-13
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. [13] But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.

Joagbaje

May God deliver you from the doctrines of demons passed down to you from your jerry curled charlatan "pastor" but going far back as Hagin/Copeland and beyond them to E W Kenyon (whom Hagin plagiarised) and forth. Go and read up on Kenyon and discover his influences and the origins of some of the things that the charlatans now claim to be part of christianity!
Kenyon was in school where some people there believe in metaphysics and some funny dotrines in his days but that didnt make him one of them. I will recomend you to read any of Kenyon's book Your life will turn arround.

Let me share a testimony with you if you care;  I used to be sick of malaria almost every week , from childhood, People told me i would grow tall , that that is why i fall sick often, I consoled myself that I will be able to play basket ball in future as a tall man. But at the age of 21,I had a miracle drug called sunday sunday medicine , Every week i just take it, i lived on that drug to prevent malaria. I came in contact with a small book by E.W.Kenyon titled "Jesus The Healer" I read and read, i realised that Jesus has borne away not just my sin but all my sickness as well. I followed the instructions in the book ,  i stopped my drugs, Malaria soon hit me ;vomitting,pains, cold ,heat,weakness. Then i remember what Kenyon taught , then I began to confess "by his stripes I was healed" "by his stripes, " etc. 30 mins after every symtoms disappeared .I had 2 more attacks later that year and no more drugs despite the mosquitoes then.ever since that time no more malaria. Now 20 years after, No more malaria.  Just a small book. I had to go and pack all kenyons books in print for my library.

Dont give the devil chance in your life, belive in Gods word. Why will I deny the things that has worked for me and is working for me and for hundreds of millions of people. Edakun jare .The word works!

Electric tasers are for security use . Did they say he used it on people in church? can you paste the link?. How would someone carry a gun looking device at the altar. Ha! alhaji !!!

What about the people far away that were not touched and still fell, I have experienced it, even though I was once critical of it in ignorance like you. Have you watched emmanual tv and see some spiritual punches? 30 meters away?.Why dont you search things out yourself, Ignorance is not lack of knowledge but ignoring knowledge, and that is foolishness. A wise man search out and not argue blindly.

Proverbs 25:2
It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.


why will a responsible man, white or black go to a church just to fall on the ground . who gave them instruction.
Christianity EtcRe: "Most Christians Infected With Prosperity Gospel" by Joagbaje(m): 8:29am On Feb 17, 2010
Trials are not sickness and decease. They are challenges of life. Even if it is sickness a christian should recognise his authority over the works of satan.

Luke 10:19
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.


If a christian falls sick, he is responsible for allowing it, and he is also responsible for coming out of it.

James 5:14
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.


So you can see that sickness can come through sin, and God is not responsible, God only teach you how to get rid of it. But there is a higher life where you dont fall sick again.

Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Enigma:
It would be rather helpful if all this[b] "doing the word", "blab and grab", "name it and claim it[/b]", "health and wealth", "prosperity 'gospel'" people had the decency to agree that their "faith" (or whatever they call it) is not Christianity.
And what is wrong with that, is it not better to blab and grab than to labour and quench? Jesus encourage the blab.

Mark 11:24
    Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.


They can call it "Word of Faith" or any other thing they like. That way we would take them for what they are.
Romans 10:8
    But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;


"Doing the word" my foot"!
Eeyaah! You now even insult the bible too.

James 1:22
    But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.


That is why most adherents of prosperity "gospel", certainly in Nigeria are still poor; that is why many are sick and die of diseases that might easily be cured if there were adequate medical facilities.
Doctors dont heal,God heals, How many people have died in the hand of doctors? as they do their guess work and collect millions for tests and operation. The woman with the issue of blood spent all she had on doctors,Can lab test dictect the demons inside.Men of God and saints are the only hope ,and they do it free of charge. Some of us have come to the level of "doing the word" that we cast out devils at will. That message is what you need.

Enigma:
Taken from http://www.openbibleforum.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=194 (though I don't agree with everything on that site!) or google 'Benny Hinn Ashnil Prakash.'

The same thing happened at his Nigerian crusade; one chap who was hoping for healing from cancer travelled down from London; he got on the stage at the crusade and his healing was declared; a week later the chap died.

Incidentally, perceptive people will notice that the jerry curled one in Nigeria with particularly brain-washed followers models himself on Taofeek Benny Hinn including the white suits and shoes and the "take it" nonsense. Shio to all them workers of iniquity.
There is possibility someone may lose his healing ; for several reasons. Sin,Umbelief or doubt and lack of continuity in Gods word.

John 5:14
Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.


Luke 11:24-26
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. [25] And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. [26] Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.


Matthew 14:30-31
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. [31] And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Either is benny hinn, Pastor Chris or Tb Joshua, If it happens ,you dont blame the man of God, rather help the people build their faith back. Afterall ,they once got healed and all symptoms stopped.

We have doctors that have qrongly prescribbed drug, wrongly diagnosed and killed patients, trough guess work, Operations have gone wrong yet no one sees that.

Is it nort clear that a couple who are deeply in love with each other and who are committed to each other emotionally and spiritually are already a married couple in the sight of God?

Is your spirituality based on the contents of sheets of paper?
It is not the certificate that joins them, but the power of God. The certificate is only for government and legal transactions. They are joined by the vows they make in Gods pressence.

When a man is under the influence of God's spirit ,natural laws are suspended, That is why Elijah , moses, Jesus could go 40 days without food and probably water.So they cant be wounded except someone get distracted. There is no drama required. afterall ,not everybody falls, it depends on the extent of the power being dicharged some were not touched but fell by the power also.

John 18:4-6
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? [5] They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. [6] As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.


No record of anybody wounded here , and im not aware Jesus had a dress rehearsal for this.Several places in the bible , people have fallen down by Gods power or became so overwhelmed that they cant stand the pressence of his glory,

1 Kings 8:11
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.


Ezekiel 3:23
Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.


Acts 22:7
And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

The message from the pit of hell is any message that will put people of God in the bondage of what Christ has saved them from. A christian is superior to satan, he should not be under the opression of poverty ,sickness, sin and death.If up till this time some cant understant the simplicity of the gospel, there is not much to say again.

1 Cor. 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.



Prosperity is not telling people to go after things of life but simply accept what God has given them. That is why you guys need to recieve the holyspirit after being born again. You dont have to labour to have, you just take what God has given you.

1 Cor. 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.


But if a man is not yet saved, there is nothing we can do but to pray for eyes of understanding to be opened.

2 Cor. 4:3-4
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Pastor AIO:
How much money did Jesus have in heaven that he was called rich? Just a rough estimate in dollar terms will do please?

Because if you can count Jesus' heavenly riches in dollar terms then I will allow you to calculate the riches that he gave us on earth in dollar terms too.
You cant quantify Gods riches in dollars,God gave Adam everything, but he lost it. God gave Christ everything he has. Christ also gave us all he has, So in Christ all things belong to us.

John 17:22
    And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:


Jesus made this known to the deciples.

John 16:15
    All things that the Father hath are mine:


1 Cor. 3:21
    Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;


1 Tim. 6:17b
   God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;


A Christian has all, It is only his ignorance that can put him in a position of lack. This is not just about money . It is dominion over everything. Over demons, Over death, over curses, We are joint heirs with Christ.

Romans 8:17
    And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

@ KunleOshob

KunleOshob:
Sir, could you post a shred of evidence from the teachings of Jesus himself that earthly material possessions or money was a part of his gospel it won't do to post an irrevlevant scripture from the obsolete Levitical laws in deuteronomy and use it to prove what the gospel of christ was about. That is scriptural manipulation at it's cheapest.
You Must understand the difference between obsolete law and the will and nature of God which does not change.
Firstly Christ was the fulfilment of Abrahamic covenant. He came and suffered to make it possible for us to recieve the blessing of Abraham . It is God's will for us to subdue and reign over everything. we are next to God. Adam lost his dominion. The plan for redemption started through Abrahamic covenant.What is the blessing of Abraham ,if I may ask you? Poverty? absolutely NO.

Genesis 12:2
 ,   and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
,
This blessing is passed to every custodian of Abrahamic covenant. That was why Isaac must prosper.

Genesis 26:13-14
   And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: [14] For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.


Genesis 30:27
   And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.


All of them that had the birthright of the covenant down to Joseph must prosper. That is why God has to remind Israel again about the covenant in what you errornously called obsolete law.

Deut. 8:18
   But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.


So you can see where you are wrong here.Abrahamic covenant is dminion over sickness poverty etc .israel did not enjoy full benefit of this because of sin.Do you know that Jesus operated Abrahamic covenant in his ministry?

Luke 13:16
   And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?


He only invoke the blessing of the covenat and not the power of the new creation. We have been set free from satanic opression sir. sickness , death ,poverty failure, bondage.

Galatians 3:29
   And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.


Col. 1:13
   Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:


2 Cor. 8:9
   For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.















Galatians 3:29
   And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.



Also show us clear cut teachings by the apostles that believers would be rich. That aside if this were to be true how come there is no significant difference in the wealth of non believers than believers?
Infact i would wagger that non believers are far wealthier than believers in this country and even so called pastors who claim to be rich and preach this false gospel derive their wealth from fleecing the flock whichis obvious and not any divine blessings as they would like us to believe
You can see why i will attack fiercely, any doctrine that will lead people into bondage of sickness,poverty and death.

2 Cor. 8:9
   For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

Well you are an advocate of the unscriptural prosperity gospel which is inspired by the "love of money" which the bible describes as the root of evil and is also the basis for mamon worship. Jesus clearly stated that you cannot serve mammon [prsoperity gospel] and serve God, you have to choose btw the two, there is no middle ground like you prosperity merchants try to imply.
I don't know what you mean by "prosperity gospel"  But if I go with how it sounds , it means " The good news of prosperity". Prosperity is not about money. Money is only a part ,  Jesus died to make us allround success. You are the one that make it sound as though it's all about money. He died for us to be in health , to reign over sin , over devils, over poverty, failiure etc . Why do you want to take wealth out of it?

DEUT 8:18   
But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

As we all know Pastor Agbaje is the the presiding pastor of CEC plc branch in yenogoa bayelsa state, this is the church in which members of Jonathan Goodluck's immediate family worships. Very soon testimonies would abound about how the lawd is working wonders in his ministry through the goverment funds that would find it's way one way or the other into his church coffers, of course it would be attributable to his being "faith full" and being a big time giver huh to the "gospel" it would also be attributable to his being a big time tither who tithes 30% of his loot and the first fruits he givescollects grin. I prophesy that pastor Agbaje would soon leave CEC and start his own churchbusiness wink i hereby use this opportunity to apply for the position of treasurer in his proposed new venture.

You are right, religion is man made in his search for a god. There is no salvation in religion. But God is not man made. God made man and you know it even if you openly deny it, there is a part of God in you crying to be filled with the love of God. God is not a terror. We are not afraid of God . God is love, he is the answer to the emptiness you have on the inside. You may deny God's existence but You know there is God.Deep inside you know.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: [21] Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.


Jesus didnt bring religion, he brought life.

John 10:10
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


1 John 5:11-12
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.


When you embrace God's love for you, the joy and peace you've always desired will come to you.

I am suprised you know this warning in the scriptures, i really wonder why you have refused to heed this warning and tolerate preachers who twist scripture to fleece the flock in the name of tithes which is certainly not a christian teaching but was merely introduced to christianity by wolves in the catholic church in the sixth century.
Giving has always been part of God's our lives, I dont know what you mean by fleecing, Nothing is wrong with it as long as its scriptural. If a sheep is fleeced of wool ,it will only be a blessing to others and that does not reduce the sheep.

Pastor AIO:
Even the Babalawo will tell you that there is a difference between Aje tutu and Aje gbigbona. That is cool money and hot money. Hot money is the one that you make it and that is when all your problems start. litigation, theft, dishonesty, not knowing who you trust anymore, paranoia, sycophancy etc etc etc and in spite of all the problems you'll still be compulsively driven to hold on to the money.
Are you from babalawo family? Im trying to be insultive o , Im just curious?
Christianity EtcRe: Does God Really Frown Against Ladies Wearing Trousers? I Need Your Opinion by Joagbaje(m): 6:17pm On Feb 13, 2010
In my own opinion, as much as I Know that God has no problem with women wearing trousers, If your church has a doctrine against wearing of trouser, you should not wear it , because it will be a form of rebellion . It is better to move to a church that agrees with your convictions .

Jehoram received a letter from Elijah the prophet (after Elijah had ascended into heaven in a chariot of fire - see the Fact Finder question below) that informed the corrupt king that justice would soon be upon him.

"And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, "Thus says The Lord, the God of David your father, 'Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa king of Judah [see Kings of Israel and Judah and Israelite Dynasties], but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into unfaithfulness, as the house of Ahab led Israel into unfaithfulness, and also you have killed your brothers, of your father's house, who were better than yourself; behold, The Lord will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions, and you yourself will have a severe sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the disease, day by day.'" (2 Chronicles 21:12-15 RSV)
I believe this is another issue entirely and has no relevance to your claim that Elijah died. It is easier to believe a letter came from a man that is alive in heaven than letter from a dead man if he had died .But definately there must have been a mistake somewhere. Ive not studied it in details but I know there had been a challenge of chronology in some bible stories like the story of david still beeing in the father's house or being under saul when he was anointed. Some stories had such challenges. I will do a study on it. thanks
