Are you saying that only 100 applicants have been verified? Please correct me if I am wrong.

No, I mean my name was on number 100 out of 1300+

Fulmigati:
RIP brother, you died with glory.
The selfless sacrifice of the fallen shall be the foundation of our new republic.

Bros, bros
But you are still enjoying your life after his #glorious death

doris4u:
4000 names,the names I saw were not even up to 2000, Op were more names pasted. Is the verification over?

They told me it was to end yesterday when I was called.

,

I did not see my name on NPOWER portal nor receive any email but was called yesterday from my local government with text message to come for my verification as it ended yesterday.
At first, I thought it was scam not until I got there and saw my name on the master's list .

I'm not desperate for the job, I've even forgotten about it before the call came in and might still not be chosen after all but I sincerely want to commend Federal government and those behind the scheme.
They are transparent enough on my own side and may the good Lord continue to be with them.

And can NPOWER please explain how it happened to me that way, peradventure there are other people whose names are on the master's list but never knew. If not for the kindness of NOA to make a call through, I won't have known anything. Imagine, number 100 or is it 101 of 4000 plus names in the whole Alimosho.

And which is superior, the names we check on portal, the messages received or names on the master's list.

Happy birthday to him.

Whether he's a thief or not, destiny has put him there.

I'm running my race to make it to destiny too.

What is the point in blaming politicians, blaming Pastors. business and career men when we are still hoping for better tomorrow too.

2018, fruitfulness in all ramifications.

SOMETIMES YOU WILL NEED TO STEP BACKWARD TO JUMP HIGHER.

You will agree with me that in a high jump or long jump contest, your stepping backward before you proceed is of great importance. Those that refuse to step back will always perform poorly. In thesame vein,most set backs are simply a stepping back for a higher jump. That set back you may be going through now is not a slow down. It is only a plus if you can keep moving. Job in the bible had a major set back where he lost everything but got more at the end. Even if you may be losing something please do not lose your trust in God. It is your trust in God that converts setbacks to stepping stones. Job 13:15. I see every set back taking you a step ahead in Jesus Precious name.

God bless you.
In such a time, holding our faith is very important. Losing someone's faith is the greatest tragedy that can befall us.
But when our faith is still intact, wining is sure.
However, we also need to checkmate our lives, look into those things we did wrong or where we gave devil a chance, make necessarily correction, submit ourselves to God and rebuke the devil.

And from victory to victory we will go.

Life is still good. It's precious gift of the almighty and nothing should define God to us than His unexplainable LOVE.

0temSapien:
Why does things like this choose to happen to only christians? I hardly see nonreligious people or atheists complaining about weird stuffs like this. When I was a christian too, I used to have this kind of mentality that everything is working against me, until I gave up Christianity and became a thinker.
@ Op, try to meet a psychologist or psychiatrist. You'll be well advised on what to do. Thanks.

Rev. 12:17
17 Then the dragon was enraged at the woman and went off to make war against the rest of her offspring--those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

You don't fight to get a caged bird. The struggle is always about a free one

Deprofessional:
When you googled it, what response did you get?

Bro, you're most welcome Thank you and God bless.

It is amazing seeing Christians arguing on a matter and yet to reach a consensus. It wouldn't have been a major concern to me if it is among Church members, but the fact that even Christian leaders are divided on whether is biblical or not brought this question.

When we say something is biblical, what are we saying. And when others are saying it is not, what do they mean?

Even though some people are anti Christ and using the tithe issue to attack the Church and see it as an avenue to say something evil to men of God.
In the other vein, some Christians are truly seeking for knowledge.
Not that they are not interested in paying tithe again but just want to know the truth and the revelation behind it.
Yes, they have all the right to know.
Everything in Christendom works by faith and FAITH is birth on the platform of revelation.
Christianity is about truth - revelational Knowledge of the Word of God. Jesus said, you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free. Nobody should be bamboozled to do anything if we are to get result. Anything we believe or do because we are told to do so without we having revelational Knowledge of it might not even work for us.

Two different opinions, from the same BIBLE, and the two sides claiming right. So, I ask WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SAY SOMETHING IS BIBLICAL?
Is it because it appears in the Bible?
Is it because it was recorded more than once?
Is it because Jesus talked about it?
Is it because the Apostles talked and practised it?

Let me start with the words of Jesus in Matthew 12:31
31 And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

Now I ask, is it biblical to say that there are unforgivable sins?

Also, Paul Apostle talk about covering of the head in worship in 1Corinthians 11:6

6 If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

So, is it biblical to worship without hair covered?

NOTE: This is not about tithe.
It is not about covering of head or not.

IT IS ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE WORD - BIBLICAL.
I BELIEVE ONCE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WORD BIBLICAL REALLY MEAN, WE CAN REST ASSURE OF THE DEEP TRUTH OF THE WORD OF GOD and PUT HOLD ON ISSUES OF CONCERN IN THE CHRISTENDOM INSTEAD OF WE OPENING OUR YAWNS TO UNBELIEVERS.


Mature Christians please!

The Word of God is true and one and He upholdeth all things by the Word of His power.

It is not to critics the word of God but knowing what it means when we say something is biblical.

#Atheists, enemies of gospel - keep off!

Lol!
T.D. Jakes came to Lagos and saw many poor people on the street, he started giving money to them.
Those who hosted him were laughing at him and could not understand why. When he finally discovered that the more he gives, the more poor people in Lagos then he understood why they were laughing at him.

intrepidJ:
I am from Edo State but born and bred in Lagos, with no ties to my state of origin. My grandfather however was a native doctor, and as a kid before the age of 7 or 8 I remember my father taking me to some dirty native doctors place where I am sometimes made to take a shower. I have had incisions made on my body with blades after which some dark substance is robed on it.

My dad is a born again Christian now, prays and fasts often. My question is will the FOUR generational curses mentioned in the bibe affect me?even though my father who is now born again must have broken the curse with prayers? My life is a mess. I suffered untold emotional abuse growing up. My adult hood is no different. I am victimized everywhere, people take undue advantage and make mockery of me. What I find really bizzare is people coming together to gossip about me where ever I got I find this very odd, I am always hated, despised, lied against, unjustly accused. It goes on and on. I'm 34 now, will likely never get married because I have OCD and am Schizotipal, but i can live with that. But i am currently facing spiritual affliction by some bastards who accuse me of dabbling Into witchcraft and bewitching them. An entire family have waged a spiritual war on me, for what I did not do.

Heres the puzzling thing. I go on my knees and cry to God for help. God always responds immediately, but then they come back. I was made to understand that they are trying to take my life but God almighty stands in their way. At home I see cockroaches anywhere I am, in places they have no busines being there. When I play gospel songs by Paul Wilbur some thing strange happens, cockroaches starts coming out of their hidden places to die in my living room. There are birds all monitoring me each time I step out. I leave home and run to the hotel they still somehow locate me.

Recently my toilets keeps getting clogged. If I fix it today within 48 hours it will mysteriously get clogged again, I fix it it repeats the circle. I have another toilet downstairs exactly the same phenomenon. It's gotten so bad I cannot even use the toilets anymore, so I left the house. There us this bizzare smell that permeates my house and as a consequences i have been forced to live in isolationist. I have no friends, it seems to me %80 of my friends are into juju or witchcraft.

I was just watching a tape on monitoring spirits when I came across generational curses and its effect on generations as far down as the 4th generations. Could this be why I keep getting hated, lied about, gossiped about and taken advantage of?

Weldon brother!
To start with, be calm. I mean just rest your mind.
The fact that you are not following your fore fathers steps and ready to be liberated is the greatest decision and way out.

Again, many people will want you start fasting and prayer as quick as you want to be free. No! Don't start yet, don't waste your energy - it does work like that, if it does, it is temporary, you will be there again.

Questions;
Is there generational curses? - Yes, there is.

Hasn't my father broke it? - he hasn't. If he had, you shouldn't be having such experiences again.

Will it continues till the forth generation? - This is not old testament era where God takes revenge till the forth generation. God's revenge is not the same as generational curses. This is devil claiming his right over your generation as per the allegiance made with him by your fore fathers on your behalf ( It doesn't mean whether you are aware or not). And it will last till when it is broken. If you brake it, that is all as touching your own lineage, if you couldn't, it continues till there is a man to brake it whether 10th or 20th generation.

Could it be reverse or broken? - O yes!

How many time? - Permanently, if you follow due process not just some pressurise fasting and prayer that will last for a while just for you to see yourself in the mess again.

What does it? - Redemption, revelational Knowledge of the word of God, fasting and prayer. And you are done.

But you see, the problem is not what it takes, but how to get someone who can open you up to biblical revelation.
Once you know whom you are, who Satan is and Who God is, what Salvation is (not just some "follow me as I say it", what your redemption package is, your right in the present position (Who Jesus is in you and who you are in Jesus), your dominion over satan then you move to fasting and prayer with accurate knowledge of why you are doing so.

In summary, what I'm saying is, before you start doing any fasting and prayer, two things are important - REVELATION and FAITH. With these two, you will live as if devil does not exist. There won't be need for you running after men for prayer.

God bless you.
Please, don't forget, Satan is as powerful as you see him and cheap to conquer as you think, both are functions of revelation..

edeXede:


Op, How many times have you been warned to stop dancing skelewu, shoki, one corner and the rest. Now you couldn't sleep again because your system has auto adapted to those dance.. Keep dancing till you enter guinness book of record

And you are suppose to joke with this?
I pray you never encounter such a problem

Thank God you voice out.
While I won't discourage you seeking medical help, I wish you seek divine help too.

Hope you are not part of those criticising Men of God, this is when you know the essence of men like that in our society.

And as touching your boss, it is when you are strong you are interested in that his shop, your life, purpose and destiny should concern you more.

Lastly, This kind of your story is another opportunity to make public shame of Satan and give glory to God. Whether you stepped on something or anyhow it happened, the truth is Satan caused it.
And the joy is the fact that we have dominion on him.
Don't fall into the hands of scammers. Deliverance, healing are free. Never bother yourself too much. God will heal you.

live4dgospel:
I am just trying to tell you that people receive demons instead while praying for the Holy Spirit, because they lack knowledge of the word of God.

I oppose this again sir.
Let's act this scence;
Assuming I am your ignorant son and I ask you to give me fish. Will you because of my ignorance give me snake?

And come to think of it, God understand us when we are in our Ignorance and He deals with us accordingly.
He won't deal with Joshua the way he would do to Moses.
Thank you.

live4dgospel:
Don't you think that other people quote these verses as well? Yes, indeed! They quote these verses as well and pray and fast for the indwelling of the Spirit yet at the end what they receive is nothing but demons! The only one way to receive the Holy Spirit is to receive remission of sins by believing in the word of God, if you like do 40 days of praying and fasting you cannot receive the Holy Spirit if you have even a tiny amount of sin in your heart. Spirit of God cannot dwell where there is sin. As it is written in ( Genesis 1:2-3 ) "Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water. God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light". Can you see it? It says the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water, why? because the earth which represents human heart was without shape, empty and in total darkness. Put this way because the heart was full of sins. What happened after? God said let there be light and there was light. So as we can see here it is only through the Word of God that that darkness can recede and the true light comes in because they both cannot co-exist.
And again I admonish you to abandon your thoughts and download that book to read.

I don't understand you again.
Have I ever mentioned someone can receive Holy Spirit with sin in his/her life?

My point is to change the notion that we can receive another Spirit while we ask for Holy Spirit which is not possible as I've clearly stated with biblical evidence.
Yes. it is possible for some to c!aim to be using Holy Spirit while they are acting demonic power but they are sure aware of it, not that they asked for Holy Spirit and were given demonic Spirit.

No matter how little or childish anyone in life is, he/she can clearly identify between light and darkness, not even a mad man that is out of his sense not to talk of a sensitive issue like receiving Holy Spirit.

God bless you bro.
Wish well and best in life.
Thanks and later.

live4dgospel:
I ask you again who is a 'spiritual man'? Since you have a personal conviction that you have received the Holy Spirit and i believe that there are some other people whom who think receive demons. Now between you and those people who is the 'spiritual man'? Even those whom you believe receive demons or do miracles through the power of Devil also have personal convictions that they themselves have the Spiritual of God. The truth is this, people receive demons without even knowing that, to such people's heart they hold it strong that what they have received is the Holy Spirit of God. Do you understand me? How then do we know who has this Spirit of God? You must now humbly agree with me that speaking in tongues alone is not a valid criterion for that, since you speak in tongues and those whom you believe received demons also speak in tongues as well. Between you and them who is the right 'spiritual man' to judge?

You: The truth is this, people receive demons without even knowing that, to such people's heart they hold it strong that what they have received is the Holy Spirit of God.

Me: No, this is not true. Those who received devil Spirit rather asked for it and definitely not from God.

Luke 11:11-13

11 "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?

13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

live4dgospel:
Why do you misinterpret the verse, what does it mean to be a 'spiritual man'?

To be a Spiritual man is to be able to differentiate between those who are genuine and those demonic.

Thegospelman:
But is speaking in tongues an evidence or criterion for the indwelling of Holy Spirit, since the Devil can make people babble nonsense in the name of speaking in tongues? I believe in the recorded word of God that Christians spoke in tongues in the early church time but now tell me how to distinguish between someone who speaks by the Spirit of God and one who speaks by demons? I repeat, you really need to download and read that book.

It is very easy if you're a Spiritual man yourself.

1Chorin. 2:15
15 The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:

hahn:
"They spoke in tongues" is not synonymous with babbling incoherent nonsense

It is.

1Corinthians 14:2
2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.

live4dgospel:
You just need to read that book to clear all your doubts and confusions.

I just wasted my mb.
I'm not understanding the beginning.

Seun:
Here's the passage

Ouch. I was completely wrong. Apologies. Apparently I don't remember much from my readings of the book of Acts when I was still a believer.

I can't just believe this is true.
You have contributed enough to human existence that to be an unbeliever.
God has been gracious enough to you.
Please, whatever caused your U-turn, can you just think about God once again?
Can you give God existence another thought may be He would be seen?

GOD BLESS YOU SIR

My wishful thought is to see you PREACHING gospel in the coming years. What exploits you will achieve for God!

Pastor Seun in the making.

Acts 19:6

Seun:
Fun fact:

The practice of baptism in the Holy Spirit as a separate act from becoming a Christian, which is manifested by babbling unintelligable words, is not biblical. It is a recent fad of the Pentecostal movement. The apostles and early Christians who wrote the New Testament practiced baptism and the holy communion, but there’s no record of them laying hands on Christians to make them speak in tongues. If they practiced it, they would have mentioned it because it would have been very important.

And they never mentioned it?

can he grow back an amputated limb

He's the God of all flesh.
Is anything impossible for Him to do?
He created the whole body, so what is limb to Him?
Bro, all it take is FAITH. But for this kind you really need RADICAL FAITH.
Prayer can change anything, I mean everything.
Engage Him and He will prove Himself to you.

4. " Woman, where are your accusers?"

A woman was caught in the VERY ACT OF ADULTERY.
They brought her to Jesus to Judge.

Jesus said:
Anyone who has no sin, let him cast the first stone.
He bent down and wrote on the ground.
They left one by one.
The woman standing alone, Jesus said


Where are your accusers?

Jesus said....GO AND SIN NO MORE. I HAVE NOT CONDEMN YOU.

When I call him sweet Jesus,
You don't have to wonder why.

Lesson:. Whatever your past has been, he has not condemn you....
Just stop right there, accept him,

AND SIN NO MORE.

Lesson: The woman was caught in the act of adultery.
Where is the man?

What did Jesus write on the ground?

1. This is it..." James, I saw you when you slept with your sister. "
Nobody knew and you covered it.
Then James's concience got pricked . He left the scene.

That's how they left one by one.

My brother, GO AND SIN NO MORE.

YOU ARE. NOT CONDEMNED UNTIL YOU DIE IN THAT SIN.

Weldon! Please tell me more, how did you get what Jesus wrote on the ground?

[quote author=analize701 post=62740459]Satan is using that agent of his to keep the disobedient Christians in poverty.

Satan wants people to always come to him when it comes to money matters. He knows that Tithes liberates our financial dominion, but you don't know.

Boy, if you don't pay Tithe to God, you will pay double to satan. He will collect it in Hospital bills. constant dead in the family. accidents, court or police cases. Satan collects more. You'll borrow or steal to pay, and it's not voluntary like the one you pay to God.


Be hailing satan. You are working against yourself. Daddy Freeze or whatever his name is, is just a stooge in Satan's hands, but you know not.

Josade44:
Concerning what you said about the New testament having No drop of the mention or command on tithing..Pls read Jesus words to Some group of Pharisee in Matthew 23:23.

And again, Bishop is adresing born again Christians, He wasn't saying this in a crusade but in a church.

Tithing for Christians is a Covenant obligation, Do it joyfully and enjoy the dividend, vice versa.

As an ordained Pastor, I believe in imploring and teaching people about giving generally and not to build on a faulty foundation.

I've heard some folks say if you don't pay your tithes, ur life will be tithe: i dont agree with that. As a matter of fact, u might be the richest Christians from the human viewpoint fir having even tot of paying ur tithes, but true riches are not far form those that pay their tithe..U r far from the covenant blessing of those that do pay their tithes.
Thanks

This is just it sir.
New testament and Jesus teachings are more or mostly on principles than law. You do it, you get result. You refuse to do it, you are on your own.

deebrain:
Sir, Whether it makes me a beggar or it makes me a millionaire, whether the church uses the money to build an orphanage or send a LovePeddler to school, I WILL PAY MY TITHE. AND DO IT PROUDLY.

Brilliant online critics, kill yourselves.

Bros, you got it right and this is what people want to know and hear but not like treating them.
Everything we do for God should be on the platform of our love for God and not because of evil that will befall us.
The nature of God is love and we did absolutely nothing to receive His love.
Abundant blessings come with equal measure of our giving for God (not only tithe) but God is not an idol that we should be afraid of.
Everything we have access to in Him is not on account of anything we did for Him but by His grace, even though grace is not an excuse not to do our part in earning the blessing but it is first on the account of His grace.
If tithe is the reason for our enrichment then what is responsible for our divine health?

God forbid again that I will not pay tithe, but I'm not doing so because of what God will do or will not do, but on love level.
Law can not hold people for long, but grace and love no one can resist.
