Genesis 5:32-10:1 New International Version (NIV) 32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham and Japheth. Wickedness in the World When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with[a] humans forever, for they are mortal[b]; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.” 4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. 5 The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the LORD said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD. Noah and the Flood 9 This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God. 10 Noah had three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. 11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. 14 So make yourself an ark of cypress [c] wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. 15 This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits high. [d] 16 Make a roof for it, leaving below the roof an opening one cubit[e] high all around.[f] Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. 17 I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. 18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them.” 22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him. The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4 Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.” 5 And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him. 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth. 7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood. 8 Pairs of clean and unclean animals, of birds and of all creatures that move along the ground, 9 male and female, came to Noah and entered the ark, as God had commanded Noah. 10 And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark. 14 They had with them every wild animal according to its kind, all livestock according to their kinds, every creature that moves along the ground according to its kind and every bird according to its kind, everything with wings. 15 Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark. 16 The animals going in were male and female of every living thing, as God had commanded Noah. Then the LORD shut him in. 17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth. 18 The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. 19 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. 20 The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than fifteen cubits. [g][h] 21 Every living thing that moved on land perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. 22 Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. 23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. 24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days. But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. 2 Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky. 3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. 5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible. 6 After forty days Noah opened a window he had made in the ark 7 and sent out a raven, and it kept flying back and forth until the water had dried up from the earth. 8 Then he sent out a dove to see if the water had receded from the surface of the ground. 9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. 10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark. 11 When the dove returned to him in the evening, there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf! Then Noah knew that the water had receded from the earth. 12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him. 13 By the first day of the first month of Noah’s six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry. 15 Then God said to Noah, 16 “Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives. 17 Bring out every kind of living creature that is with you—the birds, the animals, and all the creatures that move along the ground—so they can multiply on the earth and be fruitful and increase in number on it.” 18 So Noah came out, together with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. 19 All the animals and all the creatures that move along the ground and all the birds— everything that moves on land—came out of the ark, one kind after another. 20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. 21 The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though [i] every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. |
Well, the Bible says that everything that wasn't on the Ark died. It doesn't specify & say anything about the fish. People pick & choose, and they say "they could survive, because it was water" -- but the Bible states that anything left out of the Ark was killed. So, he had to have every single marine life on the Ark as well. And think about how big it had to be. It had every single type of species on that Ark, it had to be the size of a couple countries at least. Do you really think the lions didn't eat the other animals? Do you think that Noah could keep up with cleaning the animals, giving them food, and water? I think not. |
Because when the flood came about fresh water would have mixed with salt water. Not all fresh water fish can survive in salt water and not all salt water fish can survive in fresh water. And if he did put two of each type of fish on this ark, just how big was this thing ![]() |

The light of the Universe and the flat earth's dimensions in the Bible: The following is an email I received from brother Mohammed Riaz M; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him. Here is excellent proof that the author of the corrupted bible thought that the earth was a flat one. 1. Job 37:33 He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth. Riaz : Lighting doesn't travel around the earth the biblical god thought his earth was a small, flat one. 2. Job 38:44 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? Riaz : If the author of the bible thought of a globe earth then the last question in job 38: 44 should of read "Who stretched a measuring line around it?" Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? Riaz : Does a sphere have ends, and how can you grab the ends of a sphere? Only a flat disc or square could be grabbed and shaken in this way. Conclusion: The Bible not only failed to claim that the Earth was egg-shaped, but it also claimed in numerous verses as shown above that the Earth is flat, has Edges, has Four Corners, has Pillars, and has Foundations. As I said above, no unbiased person would deny the obvious and embarrassing quotes above. Only the desperate biased Jews and Christians would. Back to Historical Corruption and Contradictions in the Bible section. Just who wrote the Bible? See comments from the Historians and Theologians of the NIV Bible itself admitting to the corruption of the Bible right from the NIV Bible's commentary itself. The Earth is round according to Islam. Allah Almighty said that the earth is "egg- shaped". |
Further on we now have refuted those layman scholars who say the word in Isaiah means a Globe: EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN scholars who agree that Isaiah 40:22 does NOT speak of a spherical earth. There are even Evangelical publishers of books and Bible commentaries who do NOT teach that Isaiah 40:22 speaks of a spherical earth. BAKER BOOKS and evangelical publisher published the following book about Isaiah 40:22: What You Know Might Not Be So: 220 Misinterpretations of Bible Texts Explained by David C. Downing Paperback (September 1987) Baker Book House; ISBN: 0801029759. And EVANGELICALS now have a commentary on Genesis available which takes the ancient Near Eastern context of Genesis seriously. It is Genesis, The NIV Application Commentary by John H. Walton (past professor of OT at Moody Bible Institute, and now at Wheaton),published by Zondervan, 2001. Although it is not a technical commentary like Gordon Wenham's, it is a solid scholarly piece of work. 759 pages, nearly half of which deal with Genesis 1-11. Paul Seely, an Evangelical scholar, has even written a paper that was published in the WESTMINSTER REVIEW (an EVANGELICAL college), in which he says the following: The Geographical Meaning of Earth Seas in Genesis 1:10 by Paul Seely: "There is one verse in the OT, however, which has often been cited at least by laymen as a proof that the earth was understood to be a globe. I refer to Isaiah 40:22 which speaks of God as the One sitting above the circle of the earth. This verse does imply that the earth is circular, but there is nothing either in the underlying Hebrew word (hug) or in the context which necessarily implies anything more than the circularity of the flat earth-disc which the historical context and Genesis 1 have given us as the meaning of. If Isaiah had intended to speak of the earth as a globe, he would probably have used the word he used in 22:18 (dur), meaning 'ball.' " For as E. J. Young noted, Isaiah 40:22 describes God as seated on the zenith, the highest point directly overhead. Thus the verse implies that earth's dwellers, all mankind according to Psalm 33:13, 14, are clearly visible from a very high point directly overhead. This imagery fits most naturally the conception of the earth below as a flat disc, not a globe. For if the earth were a globe, part of all mankind namely earth's dwellers in Australia, Argentina, South Africa, etc... could not be seen from a point directly overhead. One could force the issue by appealing to God's omniscience, but Isaiah 40:22 (as well as the other verses which mention God looking down) is focused on God's height above the earth; and his seeing all mankind is derived from that height. That phrase "the circle of the earth" in no way implies sphericity is confirmed by the fact that in Egypt this phrase was used to refer to the earth as a flat circular disc. So when interpreted within its historical and biblical context Isaiah 40:22 implies indeed that the earth is circular in shape but also that it is flat. |
For those Jews and Christians who would like to see where in the Noble Quran does Allah Almighty say that the planets in space rotate and move, read the following Noble Verse: "It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its orbit with its own motion. (The Noble Quran, 21:33)" For more information and other Noble Verses, please visit: Science in the Noble Quran and Islam. The Earth is round according to Islam. The Earth has pillars?! "He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. (From the NIV Bible, Job 9:6)" "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. (From the NIV Bible, Job 38:4)" The Earth has Edges?! "that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? (From the NIV Bible, Job 38:13)" "He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth. (From the NIV Bible, Job 37:3)" "for he views the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens. (From the NIV Bible, Job 28:24)" "Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea. (From the NIV Bible, Job 11:9)" Does Isaiah 40:22 really say that Earth is Round? It is quite clear that the above Biblical Verses suggest and claim that the Earth is flat, has Edges, has Four Corners, has Pillars, and has Foundations. No unbiased person would deny the straight forward quotes above. Only the desperate biased Jews and Christians would. Some desperate Christians have gone as far as presenting Isaiah 40:22 to try to prove that the Bible claims that the earth is round. Let us look at what the Verse says: "He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 40:22)" First of all, a circle is not a ball or sphere or an egg-shaped object. A circle is a flat round surface, similar to flat rectangular, or square, or triangular surfaces. So if the Bible claims that the Earth is a circle, then this is still bogus because the earth is obviously not a flat surface. We have two conditions here: 1- Isaiah 40:22 is claiming that the Earth is a flat circle. 2- Isaiah 40:22 is claiming that the Earth has a circle above it. If we were to take condition #1, then we are left with a clear and irrefutable contradiction between Isaiah 40:22 and some of the Bible's verses that I mentioned above in the article, because a flat circle doesn't have "four corners", and ironically in either case, we still have a scientifically false claim about the Earth's shape. IF we were to take condition #2, then it doesn't prove that the Earth is an egg- shaped figure, and Isaiah 40:22 surely becomes irrelevant to this subject. One thing is for sure clear, and that is Isaiah 40:22 is obviously ambiguous and not clear if we wish to prove from it that the Earth is not flat and is egg-shaped. If we look at what the entire Bible says (as presented above by all the Verses) about the shape of the Earth as the Roman Catholic Church did in the past, then we would reach the same conclusion they reached, and that is: The Earth is Flat! Certainly, when Christopher Columbus thought that he could reach India by going west in the Atlantic ocean instead of east as it was traditionally done, the Church in Europe was afraid that he will eventually reach the "end of the earth" and the "Edges of the earth" as the Bible clearly says above, and fall off into the space and die. After he was able to convince the Queen that the adventure was worth the try, Christopher Columbus had survived several assassination attempts while he and his people were sailing in the ocean, because his Christian Church-believing mates were afraid and wanted to go back. When he finally found America, he thought he reached India. That's why the North American Continent was called "India", and the Native Americans were called "Red Indians". This is at least what I learned from my "US History" class when I was in High School. Christian Theologians' Commentaries that further suggest that the Earth is flat: The following is an email I received from brother Mohammed; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him. Subj: (no subject) Date: 4/24/02 8:22:58 AM Central Daylight Time From: MOHAMMEDALTAFK@aol.com To: ISLM4EVR1@aol.com Assalamu alaikum Dear brother Look at this Pre-scientific view: Ancient Pagan religions in the Mediterranean area and Middle East taught that the universe was quite tiny. Earth is more or less flat, like a dinner plate. Mountains around the edges held up a rigid dome which formed the sky. The sun, moon, planets and stars traveled across the underside of the dome of the sky on a daily basis. God sits on his throne in Heaven, which lies above the canopy. This applies to Isaiah 40:22. |
The sections of this article are: - The Bible says: The Earth is flat! - The flat Earth is established and can never move?! The Sun hurries back to where it rises?! - The Earth has pillars?! - The Earth has Edges?! The wicked might get shaken off of it and fall off in space?! - Does Isaiah 40:22 really say that Earth is Round? The Earth is a flat circle?! - Christian Theologians' Commentaries that further suggest that the Earth is flat. - The light of the Universe and the flat earth's dimensions in the Bible. - Conclusion. When it comes to scientific claims, the Bible has the dumbest claims, with all due respect to Jews and Christians. The Bible claims that Earth has four ends and four corners. Nobody can ever think a ball or a cycle to have corners and ends! Only flat items can have corners and ends, and this is exactly what the bible is trying to express regarding the shape of the earth. The earth is not flat, as once thought and it has no corners or ends at all. If Magnetic Poles can be taken as ends or corners of earth, then this definitely opposed to the axis of rotation. Genesis 11:1-9 The Tower of Babel 1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As men moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. 3 They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." 5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. 6 The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." 8 So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth. Not only these verses are seriously very insulting to Allah Almighty because they present Him as a GOD who feared men, but they also reveal a very serious scientific blunder through suggesting that the earth is both flat and sitting still in the universe - something that is quite contrary to what the Holy Quran teaches . Isaiah 11:12 12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. (KJV) Revelation 7:1 1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (KJV) Job 38:13 13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? (KJV) Jeremiah 16:19 19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (KJV) Daniel 4:11 11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ENDS OF ALL THE EARTH: (KJV) Matthew 4:8 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; (KJV) Astronomical bodies are spherical, and you cannot see the entire exterior surface from any place. The kingdoms of Egypt, China, Greece, Crete, sections of Asia Minor, India, Maya (in Mexico), Carthage (North Africa), Rome (Italy), Korea, and other settlements from these kingdoms of the world were widely distributed. The flat Earth is established and can never move?! The Sun hurries back to where it rises?! The Psalm 104:5 and Ecclesiastes 1:5 verses from the Bible in this section were sent to me by Abdullah Bisyir; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him. "He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 104:5)" "The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. The world [The deceiving translators should've said "earth", not "world"] is firmly established; it cannot be moved. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 93:1)" "Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world [Again, the deceiving translators should've said "earth", not "world"] is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity. (From the NIV Bible, Psalm 96:10)" "The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. (From the NIV Bible, Ecclesiastes 1:5)" Well, I don't think there is any need for much explanation to the nonsense above! It is crystal clear that the Bible is full of man- made corruptions and alterations. Since when the Earth is flat and can never move?! We all know that the Earth and the other planets rotate and move in space around the Sun. Since when the Sun hurries back to where it rises, like if there is some hole it rises from and another hole it sets through on Earth?! |
I do not seek to create a religion, just a spiritual being. We will make use of the Holy bible but concerntrate more on the old TM.

Household Witchcraft God has given us power and dominion over everything he created. People have attached so much importance to witches, but actually, witches are the lowest in the hierarchy of the kingdom of darkness. It might interest you to know that witches are not only those that have wings. There are wingless as well as blind witches. Some spirits which people exhibit in one form or the other are signs of witchcraft. For example, Controlling Spirit is a witchcraft spirit. Evil scheming is also a witchcraft spirit. When there is household witchcraft in the foundation of a man, it haunts every member of that household except the true born-again Christians. A man’s enemies are the members of his household, Micah7:5-6 and Math 10: 36. Note that those you trust today can disappoint you tomorrow. Rise and fall is one of the symptoms of household witchcraft. Foundational household witchcraft tends to renew or put fresh curses on family members. They curse people because of their blessings and talents, but be assured that occult has nothing to do in the life of a child of God. You are already blessed if you are a child of God and cannot be cursed. Note that in Num 23:1-8 & 13, Balak offered everything he could but still could not curse the people of God. As long as you have the sword of the spirit which is the Word of God, you are unmovable. Verse 23 says that there is no enchantment or divination against you as long as God is your Rock. Finally,suffer not the witches to live, Ex22:18. Note that witches have no mercy for anybody; they are out to frustrate people’s lives, therefore they are to be destroyed as stated in the bible. Let’s take a look at Acts 23:12, where a certain Jews fasted to kill Paul. What can you say about this? Did Paul commit any crime? This is witchcraft spirit to the highest order. Today, anybody or power engaging in a satanic fast to destroy you must catch fire in the name of Jesus. |
Household Wickedness Household wickedness directs people to the wrong activities so that they can make regrettable mistakes. They are full of evil imaginations. They are sadists. They do not want to witness any good testimony in the life of any family member. Those who are in pain create pain for others. Also, those who are controlled by anger inflict such anger on others. From Micah 7:5-6, the mouth is very important in destroying people’s destiny. An open mouth is a terror to the owner. We must note that every evil committed by people are seeds which they must surely reap according to Gal 6:7. Your enemies have no cause to rejoice over you. Math 10:36 also supported the teachings of prophet Micah as cited above. In Math 26:19-24, Jesus was talking about Judas who was about to betray him. Judas was a member of Jesus’s ministerial household: one who dipped his hands in the same dish with Jesus. Jesus was delivered to Pilate because of envy emanating from household wickedness Math 27:18. In 1Sam 17:1-7 & 15, David did not give up despite the angry rebuke of his brothers. He was confident. David did not do anything wrong as we can see in verse 29. Evil tongue is a mark of household wickedness and David prayed against that in Psm55:9-23. Evil tongues cause violence and strife. It is important to note that household wickedness cannot do anything to you unless you permit them. Your decisions matter a lot. |
Household Enemies The key bible verses for this discussion are Gen 37 and Micah7:5-8. An analysis of Gen 37 shows that one can be hated by his own flesh and blood just for doing nothing. Israel’s unequal love to his children led to disastrous outcomes. Parents and heads of institutions of various sorts who find reasons to love someone more than others should pay close attention to this lesson. Do not forget that others are watching for areas of inequality which invariably will result to the activation of household enmity, wickedness and witchcraft. Dissatisfied members of the family will always grumble and cause trouble. In the case of Israel, the consequences of his action outweighed the reason for it. Am sure he wouldn’t have taken such an action if he had envisaged the outcome. Also, Joseph, not aware that he was already hated by his brothers went ahead to reveal all his dreams to them which caused more hatred. It is worth mentioning that household enemies are not interested in the dreams and visions of any family member. They are betrayers with strong dislike for the progress of any family member who will eventually be ahead of them in the future. They will rather call you a dreamer instead of believing in your dreams. They are full of envy with malicious intentions. Watch out for those you tell your dreams and visions. Household enemies are dream attackers and destiny hijackers. Do not use your mouth to destroy your destiny. Household enemies are liars and conspirators whose missions are to stop any member of the family from moving forward. They target those qualities or asset that distinguish you from others and try to dispossess you of them. But in all these, God will deliver his people from the hands of these household enemies just like He did for Joseph. We will be victorious when we remain steadfast in the Lord just like Joseph. It might seem we have lost everything but the end is what justifies the means. God is interested in our end. This story also showed the different stages we must overcome in life. To become a hero, you must fight for your destiny. Even in prison, Joseph did not give up. God took him away from the wrong group of people (his brothers) to show him His glory. Your coat of many colors will make you to be separated from the wrong people for you to shine. Apart from Joseph, David also experienced the same thing in the hands of his brothers who were angry that he asked about Goliath. They were infuriated and ordered him to return to the field where he has been taking care of the sheep. Unknown to his brothers, God has been preparing him for war while in the field. The two cases we have examined here are true reflections of Micah7:5-8 which states that a man’s enemies are the members of his household. It is also imperative to point out that Joseph and David were not distracted by the actions of their household enemies; rather both were focused knowing they have a great future in God. In Gen39:2, Joseph was called a successful man despite the fact he was still a slave in the house of his master. God was with him and no matter his condition, he was considered successful. Jacob was also carrying a coat of blessings when he stepped into his uncle’s business. There is what is called the feet of blessing and the feet of sorrow. Some people bring blessings to you once they step into your house or business while others bring sorrow. |
Enemies, wickedness, and witchcraft in the family started a long time ago as we can see from the story of Joseph in Gen 37. To be victorious in these battles, faith, wisdom, knowledge and understanding are required. It is important to note that these three wicked powers exist in the family: while some are active, others are dormant waiting for someone to stir them up. An obvious way to swing one of these wicked powers into action in the family, especially household enemies is by unnecessary show of wealth. Lack of wisdom and understanding have led some to erroneously think that everybody in their families applaud them when they achieve a breakthrough. A cursory look at the actions of Joseph’s brothers will serve as a warning to those who have failed to recognize the existence of such harmful and opposing forces in their families. The question of how to face these negative forces in the family to achieve victory is pertinent. We need to identify who we are in Christ Jesus by facing such forces with boldness and faith in God. |

They dont know anything, blood of jesus is a ritual thing, how do you drink and cover yourself with blood of jesus. They take holy commumion in church, all tituals. Those who are wise hearken into the message deeply. |
coputa: Some people posting childish comments here have engage in one ritual or the other without their knowledge,for example on every new year eve you will see chritians taking lit candles home after the cross over service to place in their door mouth to burn,this is a ritual..the candles that we place on bithday cakes are all rituals for llongivity..we should wake up from our slumber.thank you. Christianity of today practics what they dont know, those who call themself christian are lanquishing in povety. The roman catholic church which substain the christain movement from the 1st century to this 21st century do make use of insence, canlde, spitial perfume, mostar seed, oil, etc till today. So what are they talking. I wish i have more people like you to enlighthen people here. |
coputa: This is an interesting thread and it is quite revealing..i am not too surprised at some of the post on this thread by christians because.we practice blind religious dogmas in nigeria which explains why nigerian christians are among the poorest and most ignorant in the world. Go to countries where we imported christianity from..they still partake in rituals,burning of candles.insence,.usage of oil 'salt and meditation to attract positive energies and clear negative energies from within..these r traditional practices that runs across different races ,religion and cultures. That is why a we always run to our pastors for prayers when we are comfronted with small challenges that we can apply just simple formulars to eliminate.thank you, i can feel your impart, you are really a wise one, prayer is all about formula, 1+1=2. When you apply the right method, you will have power. Even the chinise, have a formula of prayer, thats why they are successful |
Rediculos |
