Instead of 2, Let it be 3. World cup cannot lose its relevance

These means there are two resurrections.

The first is the resurrection of those who believe in Jesus Christ, the saints, the righteous ones who have died and died after the tribulation of the Antichrist, along with tjosbe who would still be alive at the return of Jesus Christ.


The 2nd is at the great white judgement where those who didn't make 1st resurrection will be judge after the millennial reign of Christ, the release of the devil again and the final battle of God and Magog against the saints.

Wow .... The grace of God in your life

Life is per head. Pastor will not stand for you. Everyone will stand on their very lot.

Moreover if you missed the rapture, it means you've willing accepted the devil and his ways either willingly or by deception.

No true child of God will miss the rapture

“Money is the root of all evil” but y'all keep tasking us to pay tithes and offerings.

Y'all keep requesting for the root of all evil.


BTW, what is the kingdom of God?

The love of Money.... Not money itself

[quote author=Dtruthspeaker post=101977569][/quote]Lol... That means you don't believe in rapture before tribulation?

Dtruthspeaker:
The 2nd!

Which is the 1st?

What about the resurrection at the final judgment?

Jesus Christ took the Jewish people and religious leaders by surprise when He dismantled many of their traditions. In Mark 7:9 He said to some religious leaders, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.”

As the Son of God, Jesus taught many things to help us live victoriously. Let’s look at ten life lessons that we can learn from Jesus.

#1 Love God with all that you are
Matthew 22:36-38 says, “’Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?’ Jesus said to him, ‘“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment.’”

If we love God with ALL that we are, then everything else falls into place. When we love other things or people more than we love God, it sets us up for trouble. Don’t love anyone or anything more than you love God.

#2 Love others
Jesus went on to tell the disciple the second greatest commandment as well: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). The truth is, we sure do love ourselves! We do many things for ourselves each day; likewise, we love others by putting them before ourselves. This is a difficult thing for our selfish flesh, but it’s an important command.

Jesus takes loving others even further in Luke 6:27: “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” That’s right; according to the Son of God, we’re supposed to even love our enemies!

#3 Nothing is more important than the Kingdom of God
What is the Kingdom of God? First, it’s not a physical kingdom—yet. Someday, King Jesus will set up His Kingdom on the earth in all its fullness, but for now, it’s a spiritual kingdom that is breaking into the physical realm.

Religious leaders asked when God’s Kingdom would be established (thinking God would wipe out the Romans who were ruling over them). In Luke 17:20-21 Jesus “answered them and said, ‘The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, “See here!” or “See there!” For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.’
Clearly, the Kingdom of God is freedom from oppression, healing and wholeness, hope, peace and joy!

Jesus declared in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Instead of running after what we think we need or want, we should be pursuing God’s Kingdom, knowing that He will take care of everything.

#4 Don’t love money
Money in itself is not evil, but the love of money will always lead to trouble. Jesus said in Matthew 6:24, “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Mammon is another word for money.) Jesus understood the power money could have over the human heart.

Remember, if we love anything or anyone more than God, we make that person or thing “god” on the throne of our heart, and that’s idolatry. On the other hand, if we will guard ourselves from the love of money, we certainly can do many good things with it. The key is this: control your money; don’t allow it to control you.

#5 Don’t worry about earthly needs—trust God to provide
It’s easy to get concerned about the things we need, but instead of worrying, God asks us to trust Him to provide because He cares for us.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:24, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?” God is a good Father, and He will never let us down!

#6 Spiritual greatness is achieved through serving others and being humble
The religious leaders of Jesus’ day thought that being holy or spiritual meant praying loudly for everyone to hear, giving money for everyone to see, and avoiding sinners.

However, in Matthew 23:11-12 Jesus taught, “But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Humbly serving people in the name of Christ is the greatest indication of one’s spirituality.

#7 Losing your soul to gain the world isn’t worth it
In Matthew 16:26 Jesus asked, “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?” Clearly, we have a choice to make: if we choose the world, we lose our soul; but if we choose Jesus, we gain life!

But choosing Jesus requires that we live differently than the world: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14).

Living narrowly means that we think differently, we talk differently, we respond differently and we live differently than the world (non-believers). We must not blend in but honor Christ by standing out.

#8 If you want forgiveness, first you must give it
Receiving forgiveness for a wrong you’ve committed sure feels great. But in the Kingdom of God, to receive forgiveness, you must be willing to forgive others. In Matthew 6:14-15 Jesus teaches, “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

Forgiveness doesn’t mean that what someone did to you was okay but that you’re releasing them from repaying you for the wrong (which they most likely cannot “repay” anyway). Releasing them frees you to have peace and to enjoy your life.

#9 Religion alone doesn’t make you holy
In Jesus’ day, religious people were consumed with following rules and laws that were impossible to keep. They were obsessed with outward appearances and looking good to other people. But in Matthew 15:11, Jesus taught, “Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”

This was a radical idea at that time because Jesus was challenging the idea that it wasn’t certain “evil” foods that contaminated them but the things that came from inside them that made them unholy (like lust, pride, hatred, and jealousy which led them to do evil things). Religion and beliefs are no good if they don’t transform the heart.

#10 Following Christ means denying ourselves
Jesus knew that living selfishly is not the way to have life. Jesus Himself demonstrated this when He denied Himself and gave His life on the cross to redeem and save mankind. Matthew 16:24-25 says:

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.’”

Denying ourselves means that we choose what God says, not what we or others say; we choose God’s ways, not our way; we choose what’s right, not what’s easy or convenient. When we deny ourselves, we may lose relationships or opportunities, but in the end, we’ll have real life in Christ.

Oga, stop contradicting yourself.

Rapture is not resurrection. Can sb alive be resurrected?

And the word “rapture” does not occur in the bible, nor does it imply it.

So what do you think St Paul meant here Sir?

1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

Dtruthspeaker:
As you see, it is 2!

1) First is the Resurrection of the souls who were killed for refusing to take the evil Mark!

They get compensated with 1000 years of Goodnesses of Life on earth, then Satan is released to Test them again!

2) The Final Resurrection and Judgement of All Dead everywhere, from Cain and the old world to the Last Day before judgement including those who have taken their compensation for refusing the mark but they followed Satan when he was released to them.

Who about those who died before the Antichrist comes? The bible also said they'd be resurrected at the rapture of the saints, when is their resurrection, 1st or 2nd?

chatinent:
I was expecting you to quote where the bible wrote “rapture.”

This event described below in 1Thess 4:16-17, describes what is called the RAPTURE (Harpazo)

4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Another word for rapture Sir, is resurrection of the saints from those bible verses.

I'm just explaining that the resurrection (rapture) doesn't occur till after the tribulation thereby debunking the myth of pretribulation doctrine

How to identify this nefarious person has remained a puzzling enigma for almost 2,000 years. What do the Scriptures actually say about this evil character?

For Christians, the name is chilling. It conjures nightmares of a charismatic leader of great power and persuasiveness who wins the hearts and minds of people around the world. In the popular imagination (which sometimes combines different biblical characters as if they were one), behind this deceptive charm swirls images of implanted microchips, mysterious numbers and fervent followers.


Paul, and Jesus in a vision given to John, also described a specific religious leader who would deceive most people prior to Christ’s second coming. Although Paul and Jesus used different names for this individual, it seems clear that they are referring to the same person. These writings round out the profile of the Antichrist.

Writing to Church members in Thessalonica, Paul implored them “not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled … as though the day of Christ had come” (2 Thessalonians 2:2). He explained, “Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God” (verses 3-4).

This “lawless one,” “man of sin” and “son of perdition,” as Paul called him, will claim to be Christ (verses 3-4, . Because of the “power, signs, and lying wonders” granted to this man by Satan, many will be deceived by this “delusion” (verses 9-11). But this evil man will be destroyed by Christ at His second coming (verse .

Since Paul had written about this individual several decades prior to when John penned his general epistles, John may have had Paul’s teaching in mind as he wrote about the Antichrist.

Evidence from Revelation

Confirming what Paul and John had previously written, Jesus revealed to John in Revelation 13 that two “beasts” would arise to dominate the scene in the end times prior to His return to earth. One beast represented a civil authority, and the second represented a religious leader. Though both are actually against the real Christ, the second beast seems to best fit the role of the Antichrist spoken of by John.

This second beast would look like a lamb (be an imitation of Christ), yet speak like a dragon, which is another name for Satan (Revelation 13:11; 12:9). This second beast in the book of Revelation is later called “the false prophet” (Revelation 16:13; 19:20; 20:10).

The second beast of Revelation will likewise deceive people by great signs he will perform—even making fire come down from heaven (Revelation 13:13-14). And this beast will enforce acceptance of the first beast—a civil authority—by controlling people’s ability to buy and sell via “the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (verse 17).

By the year 1000, the main outlines of the first of two narratives about the Antichrist was in place thanks to a noble-born Benedictine monk and abbot named Adso of Montier-en-Der (c. 920-92) who wrote a treatise on the subject.

According to him, the Antichrist would be a Jew from the tribe of Dan and born in Babylon. He would be brought up in all forms of wickedness by magicians and wizards. He would be accepted as the Messiah and ruler by the Jews in Jerusalem. Those Christians whom he could not convert to his cause, he would torture and kill.

He would then rule for seven years before being defeated by Christ and the divine armies, prior to the resurrection of the dead and the Final Judgement.

According to the Christian tradition, the Antichrist will finally be defeated by the armies of God under the leadership of Christ with the Kingdom of God (on earth or in heaven) to follow.

So, in spite of current appearances, Christianity holds firmly to the hope that evil will be finally overcome and that goodness will ultimately prevail.

The word of God explicit said there will be resurrection of the dead;

Mark 12:33 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
Luke 14:14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

Knowing the above; how many resurrections will be? How many does the bible say?

Also, what resurrection will occur at the rapture of the saints? See scripture below;

1 Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

From the bolded, we can agree that there is a resurrection, What can we say?

Also does that verse destroy the pre-tribulation doctrine? because as we can deduce, that is the first resurrection which only occurs after the Antichrist tribulations as stated in the book of revelation?

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

From these chapters and verses, do you still believe that the rapture will happen before the tribulation? If yes, kindly explain to us what kind of resurrection will happen at the rapture, and also how many times will Jesus descend from heaven?

So people how many resurrections will be?

Terrible world

Lol.... They've started giving predictions as usual.... That's how they predicted wrongly about covid-19, then wrongly about Trump and the rapture, then in to Israel-Palestinian conflict, now they've jumped to Nigeria...

These conspiracy theorists never get tired.. I wonder if this was what the early apostles did

Any prediction not from the word of God, I don't believe.

My pastor has said this is a year of dominion, blessings, purity, increase in the love and fear of God, Joy.. That's what I believe

Hello Everyone.

I just wanted to ask if funds in a person account when stolen can be refunded or gotten back after complaints at the Bank?

It happened that my wife just got her Survival funds grant today, and after receiving the alert, not quite long, she got a text, and someone debited 24,900 from her account... the name written only was "Online God Bless". No account number of debiter.

So she chatted up FCMB, and they said it's work of fraudster, that she had allowed them access? How is this possible??

Her ATM expired since October, and she didn't renew it, and the only online transaction she does is with Jumia!

So we are resolved for her to go to the bank on Tuesday... To anyone that this has happened to before, will she still be able to get the money back??

She has blocked her account for now till Tuesday.


Thanks!!

Yoruba People don't let this Igbo people instigate you, The fight is against the Federal Govt not Yoruba Land. Stop destroying our properties, this Igbo people are not doing as much destruction in there states as they are doing in the west.

It is becoming Tribal, a means to destroy the stability of the west.

how are the igbos destroying Yoruba land bro?? You are just a politician supporter....
