There are about 7major givings that God commanded in the Bible. Giving of alms to the poor is one of them .. we must do all and one should. Not replace the other

gunuvi:

Nonsense and see how the ushers were even forming serious prayer warriors as if they wont open their eyes when someone approach them that he wants to pay at that time.
nonsense people

I have a passion for animation, and maya was recommended. I was told they have an office in nigeria. How can I go about it?

Scholar8200:
Now pastor, remember that Jesus said this will be said to people on the last day:

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew 7:22-23
You will agree with me that all those works can only be done by those who believe (not the world that do not believe) just like Mark 16 recorded it!
Meaning we as believers still have to watch and pray and depend on God's grace realising that we are called to:

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord
Hebrews 12:14

A christian can lose his salvation. The bible is clear on that . It's a christian who can commit sins. The world cannot commit sins. The world has only one sin. Which is unbelief in Christ.

Amberon:
Its surprising how people who call themselves Christians endorse that statement. If the holy spirit doesn't convict you of your sin then it means you don't have the holy spirit in you.

When you have the holy spirit in you, there's a constant awareness in you. Just as you're about lying, the holy spirit consists you and tells you not to tell a lie. If you're about committing fornication, the holy spirit does the same thing again.

The holy spirit tells you exactly your faults and let's you know that you need to confess your sins before God

There is a difference between sin and sins. Sin is not conduct it's a nature. The sin of the world which will take them to hell is unbelief in Christ. That's the sin. And that's what jesus was talking about .

John 16:8
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

What is the sin of the world ? Unbelief in Christ .

John 16:9
Of sin, because they believe not on me;

You can see that the statement here is not made for Christians but for the world . Who don't believe in Christ. It's the conviction of their sin nature that lead to salvation.

The singular word for sin refers to nature

Amberon:
I know pastor Chris the false prophet is your hero. Anything he says to you can't be questioned. It is glaringly OK obvious from your previous posts.

Any preacher who says masturbation is not a sin is worse than an murder because he has sanctioned it and is leading people to hell. You can as well say murder is not a sin too but a bad habit.

I won't comment further. Continue wallowing in delusions of your false prophet.

2 Timothy 2:24
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

When your communication of the word enter into strife you're in the flesh my friend .

I asked you simply to back your claim with scripture .you can't find any . Only insults coould come out of your empty religous stomach as expected . come out of religion and study scriptures myfriend.

Amberon:
Lmao... pls give your life to Christ

I have already ,but have you?

you're not a christian

I am ,what makes you think otherwise? Because you don't like my post eh?

so killing is a bad habit not a sin

Nobody said that but you. Kindly back it up with the word of God

.

Keep following your false prophet pastor Chris.

Thanks for the admonition. But what makes him false prophet?

promisechuks:
A habit can be a sin like watching porn, mastubating, lying, smoking. But the point you will make is that Jesus has definitely paid everything and nothing is remaining for one's sin.

Yeah true ,A habit can be a sin . An a habit doesn't necessarily constitute a sin. Thirdly the fact that someone did something doesn't make it a habit . Unless the individual is bound by it. At that time it can be a demonic influence.

Amberon:
There's no cherry picking here. If he said that its wrong. Whatever context he used it is irrelevant. What is wrong is wrong

If that's how you are you won't be able to judge righteously. Or be a good counsellor. You must hear from both sides. Joseph prince point. Is simply misunderstood . The bible says he will convict the WORLD of sin. That conviction is what led us unto salvation. It is as simple as that.

Same way pastor Chris said that masturbation is not a sin.

It's not a sin, it's only a bad habit and it can be demonic . if you find a scripture that says otherwise . Kindly quote it. And if theres no such scripture you should note that is a sin to add to scripture.

Also Joseph Prince preaches "once saved, always saved". That's the greatest blasphemy of all time.

You can only be saved once.

OLAADEGBU:
Did Joseph Prince really say this? If he did then he is an heretic.

Don't be too quick in condemnation by cherry picking,, try listen to the entire teaching and spirit of the communication.

analice107:
Let me share with you a story a friend shared with me.
She attended University of Abuja. And she shared a hostel room with very rich Hausa girls, from very rich families. This girls smoked like chimneys. Gradually she was lured into smoking. Before long she was hooked on Nicotine.
Through them, she became a big girl, sleeping with Ministers in Abuja. But after school she got saved. But this smoking habit won't leave her. The craving even increased. She kept smoking. She had money so she was buying in rolls. Now, smoking became a burden. She wanted to stop, but she couldn't. She prayed and prayed, she kept smoking. She would finish praying against smoking, she will pick a stick lit it and smoked. While smoking she will be crying, praying and smoking.
But one day, she forgot to buy the roll, so she ran out of cigarettes, she went out to buy, while out, she met an acquaintance and they started gisting. She totally forgot why she went out. She ended up going back home without the cigarettes. That day past, then the next, then the next. When she realized she hadn't smoked for three days, she didn't believe it could be possible. That's how the craving just left her. God answered her prayer.
Just hate that habit. You could still see yourself fall into it. But hate it. For me, what I do is. Anytime a fall, I will confess, tell someone what I did. You know it's very hard for a born again Christian to tell someone that 'I fornicated', the shame alone shd keep you from doing it. Satan hates to be revealed. He likes secrets. When you keep secrets he is very happy. Don't keep secrets and he won't have any hold over you.

Awesome testimony ana

1 John 2:1
2​ My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:.


As much as God doesn't want you to live in sin. That should. Not allow you to walk in condemnation. You are still God's own and you are still righteous before God.

If you fell into any sin,just repent of it and move on . Don't condemn yourself .

Romans 14:22
. .. . Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

Satan is the one who brings condemnation and sense of unworthiness to you . Don't accept his condemnation .remember the joy of the lord is. Your strength..don't let the devil steal that joy .

Finally I offer 2 solutions to the problem of fornication. It's either the work of the flesh or a spirit of lust. For the first one spend time on this word of God and pray regularly in tongues .if that's challenging get to a minister to minister. To you a spirit of lust may need to be cast out

treasureboy:
But what if the man happen to be born or found himself a gay?

There's not such thing it's a demon. Maybe the demon entered from child . It had to be cast out. Remember while some are attracted to same sex some others are attracted to animals ,some to babies and others to corpses these are all perversion. Against nature. But it's demon spirit that possess the emotions of such ones

umehmj:
another thing is i have this uncanny memory or i should say a gift. as a grown guy i used to tell my mom my childhood events and things i remember but she swears that somebody must have told me cos those events happened when i was just months old, but then only her was the only witness of those events and she never told me of them. I also see things before they happen, trouble is i don't remember them until they start happening..

CharlyG1:
@ Umehmj.. Wow! I thank U for sharing your experience.. U definitely have a gift. Nice one. Its true, very few people would believe people like us

I'm yet to read the whole thread but I just read the first few posts today. I have this to say . I believe in the supernatural and taking authority over demons but a word of caution .Every gift of God Comes with the infilling of the Holy Ghost You see but supernatural gifts so called from childhood most of the times are demonic

. The Bible calls it spirit of divination . Except in some cases where such a child has been Introduced to Christ from childhood. I've Met some Christians who claim they had gifts from childhood with ability to see and When I pray for them after sharing this truth ,I always see a manifestation of demons through them which I had to Cast out. Then I minister the holy spirit to them and they can now function in the gift of prophecy instead of divination.

One world religion . The anti Christ will be a religious leader ,an economic leader and a political leader All religion will unite under his leadership. These are just surface signs

Several things are responsible for the evil in the world . God is not running things. The world is given for man to control. It's actually in the hand of Satan who the Bible refers to as the God of the world .so man. And the devil are both responsible for the evil in the world .

onyfrank:
but pastors do say that often. "If u want to give ur life to Christ, come forward to the alter."

Giving oneself to Christ is a declaration of his lordship over oneself.

2 Corinthians 8:5
And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, . . .

Pastors do pay Tithe and give offerings just like everyone else

Do you have recommended books on these?

tpiaobsession:
as you can see from the verse you quoted, Paul sent people to ensure what they heard about you was not the wrong info, and so their confidence in you should not be in vain

Not so sir. You need to understand the background of the storyfrom 1Corinthians. The. Corinthian church were the first. Church to pledge donations . But they didn't redeem the pledges . Paul testified here that though the pledge they made inspired and stirred ,provoked other churches also to do. The same . like the Macedonia church who didn't just get inspired to pledge but we're the first to redeem their pledge but the Corinthians who's faith spurred others did not fulfill their pledge.

Your own emphasis is on provoked, which is wrong, you are quoting the verse out of context in order to drive home a point

Well So long as the point is driven home I'm OK. But if you read my post with neutral mind . I didn't quote out of context.

The provoke in Hebrews 10 23-25 is to encourage or exhorting one another unto good works, you should read the whole verse, not just some parts of it.

Provoke simply means to stir ,stimulate motivate. Which are all forms of being inspired to action

Worship is not being inspired by someone, it is giving adoration or adulation to an entity which should only be God,

It's only you who has been using the term WORSHIP

and should you find yourself being worshiped, you should redirect that worship, praise and glory, back to God who alone is worthy of it

You're right but the only problem is that such crime hasn't been committed yet . A compliment is not worship .

Paul said "FOLLOW ME AS I FOLLOW CHRIST"

If had written that passage you will crucify me . And tell me to remove the "ME" in that passage and leave only ,"CHRIST
But that's not even the verse. I'm referring to .I'm talking about the verse below where he didn't mention Christ but only himself

1 Corinthians 4:16
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

To the pure all things are pure.. when we become judgemental we will not be able to judge righteous judgement .let's. Look at things from pure perspective.

tpiar:
explain the verse you are quoting and why you quoted it.

2 Corinthians 9:2
. . . .and your zeal hath provoked very many.



Paul said their action provoked or inspired many people. So nothing wrong in being inspired by someone else.

He also said to provoke one another unto good work. That' also mean to inspire one another.

Paul taught others to emulate his faith or be followers of him . While you Call it worship it is really being inspired or motivated by another. Person.

tpiar:
I have nothing against Joagbaje but rather than be inspired by him, why not be inspired by Christ.

Oga we can inspire one another na . It's scriptural.

2 Corinthians 9:2
. . . .and your zeal hath provoked very many.

Chuksworld:
I enjoy worship session a lot buh no instruments, no choir... Buh I think I would just have to stay...

I get your point . Why not talk with the pastor about your concern . You may be the encouragement he is looking for . Organize to get musical instrument .more people will stay . I was once with a church that didn't have instrument . I had been in bigger churches .and also An instrumentalist. So I told the pastor about. Idea of getting instruments like a good PSR keyboard . He said its too expensive. One day I went too borrow a campus keyboard while they were on holiday and played it in the church for several weeks . I did one man band playing. Worship changed .Even though I love my one man band playing but more inttsrumentalists came in.

To cut the story short the pastor bought instruments which he would not have done until he got inspired .

^^^^^
Mo ti gbo. But you no mention my name for your. Xmas greeting na .

Thanks. Omo malla

Chuksworld:
I have been attending a branch of my church buh the members are so few that I am now begining to feel so boring now. I don't know if changing to another living and more lively church is a good option. Please advice me cos I'm a bit confused

Is it crowd you. Want to worship or God?

Every church ought to grow ,if you're expressing concern in that direction it's pure enough but when you talk about leaving because of crowd then you have a wrong motive.

There are several reason why a church may remain small ..

1 if the church is not evangelical in structure
2 if the teaching is not improving lives
3. If the follow up structure and visitation is defective .

Remember that you are part of the growth of the church . You and other members ought to go out and get souls won . Every big church was once small.

He looks like Yoruba. They should die the test again

After all He used private boat. If he could
Use private boat then he. Will use private car. Or jet if such need arise

harristo:
There are several things that can be spread:

Spreading of HIV; Spreading of rumors; Spreading of Lies etc

In my opinion, the prophecy is just too vague, next time he should be more specific. It would have been better if he had said spreading of the gospel, or spreading of the good news.

The message was clear enough for those who were there. It's primarily the spreading of the gospel message and every other thing follow ,you may apply the rest to your business etc
