A man turning to a cat is not a miracle

Miracles are problem solving

How does turning to a cat solve any problem even if it is possible

That's the difference between magic and miracles.

Satan works magic, God works miracles.

The way Nigeria is now, we all need miracles.

What a shame

Imagine an old man boasting of the numbers of girls he has slept with.

Aside the pleasure, what more does fornication give you??

So many destinies are ruined beyond recognition through it.

Jeon:
Try foreign Angels.

I taught you meant "fallen" angels, like incubus and succubus 🤣

illicit:
The argument is not about spirituality

It's real

But then can you provide any proof of what you are saying?

Hmmmm....

Of course. If I build my faith with the word of God and fasting, miracles will happen.

I haven't developed my faith to such an extent of instant miracles when I pray like our fathers in the LORD, but surely I am getting there.

Unfortunately, most Christians aren't taught to build their faith for personal miracles, they keep looking up to their pastors for miracles.

illicit:
U guys abuse the word spiritual a lot

Does spiritual mean people turn to animals?

🙄

Whether you believe it or not, the spiritual controls the physical.

We can talk about spiritual matters all day, but the fact remains that nothing happens physically unless it happened spiritually.

It's the law of God.

Some people can transform themselves into animals because they are spiritually empowered to do so by demons.

The Nazi Amalekites have no Choice.
They either Surrender or they are sent to Virgin land.

Virgin land or Virginia?

I like your verbal irony this morning 😅

HouseRavenclaw:
Tell this to those making millions online from masturbating and selling the videos, or the 60% of the male global population that masturbates. Stop being stupid.

How I being stupid??

By saying the truth even though it's bitter and unacceptable?

That's why Jesus said the way to hell is broad and very wide. Billions are walking there.

Masturbation/pornography will take you to hell, but it will also paralyze your blessings and destiny on earth.

If you can't accept it, it's your cup of tea.

No human being can turn into a cat

Lol...

This world we live in is more spiritual than physical.

The only player I am familiar with then is segun odegbami...

He has almost the same body shape of late Rashidi yekini, tall and lanky and scores goals.

I met a mysterious person who transforms himself into a cat at night to attack me

Strange things are really happening these days!

Beuberry:
Everyone is getting old. More grace Pastor

Truth.

No one is getting younger.

But looking at pastor chris, I guess you age gracefully when you are fulfilling your destiny.

Jokerman:
Shey Celestial na real church of Christ ni??

Why surprised?

No surprise, it isn't a real church o.

Thou shalt not tempt the LORD thy God!

Jesus commanded:

"Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature."

However, an evangelist must respect the laws of the land where preaching is prohibited.

Hojlund to score....and man utd to struggle out a win.

He likes scoring in UCL...strangely he hasn't scored in the EPL.

Marrying early is the best...

However, marriage isn't defined by how far but by how well.

Any church that weds a pregnant couple is a cult to me o....

Besides, we have so many of them today, questionable churches

layuns:
Thats called diversification of financial stream.

Lol... Anyway the gospel is bringing souls into the kingdom of God.

We should be less concerned about the money.

Ballzproblem2:
charity begins at home,feed your people first

He's already done and is doing that.

He has a free kitchen for the masses everyweek in his church.

KarinaSlim:
Even true Medical Doctors who are "called" still complain carelessly of salaries despite how better paid they are compared to teachers.

They even go on strike every year to make matters worse.

Some have even japad out of the country for better pay.

Next time u see them, kindly tell them to come back to Nigeria. Okay.

Medicine is a calling.

No matter your calling, you will never be satisfied with being on the same level for too long.

We all want to excel and go higher continually in life. So it's natural for a called doctor or teacher to agitate for better wages.

The "uncalled" however get frustrated because they are doing what they are forced to do coupled with poor wages.

Monaboo:
Very soon, parents will end up teaching their kids at home by themselves because the well educated teachers are leaving the profession.

Why? Poor Renumeration. It's only in Nigeria that Secondary School teachers are paid N30K per month.

How do u want someone to survive on such a salary. School Owners will be paying such salary and be thinking they are doing you a favour.

I started teaching in 2009 with SSCE. I actually love teaching. Teaching is my calling. I started doing Students Broadsheet when I was just 8yrs old. I went to the University and bagged a B.Sc in Geography and Planning.

I was teaching Geography in a Private Secondary School in Lagos. Woke up one morning and said goodbye to teaching in Nigeria.

Teachers are not paid well. They are not treated well. School Owners use teachers anyhow. I used to teach the whole school. I taught Jss1 to JSS3 Agricultural Science and SS1 to SS3 Geography. You will write lesson note for all the classes and be tired. You will enter class and copy note on the blackboard till your whole hands pain you. You will shout on top of ur voice teaching till u have headache. Principal will still shout on you in presence on students. I suffered. All on top of rubbish salary wey no reach N25K.

People say "Teaching Is A Calling". I laugh

Becos it is calling that will pay the bills abi?

Even children now do not want to end up as teachers. Even u reading this would not want ur child to end up as a teacher in Nigeria.

Now am not talking about Government school teachers o. Atleast those ones still dey see money.

Some Private school teachers earn as low as 20K per month in Nigeria. Graduates o. In this Buhari-Tinubu Guinness World Record Regime.

My neighbor now is complaining cos her child keeps failing JAMB. She can't pass Chemistry. Why? The school changes teachers every session which is affecting her. The last one did not teach some chemistry topics to the students which came out in JAMB this year.

Mama dey vex. She dey blame the Teacher. I told her to calm down. I asked her does she know how much the school pays the Chemistry Teacher? She said No. I laughed.

You can never be motivated to do ur best when u are not well paid. I told her to hold the School responsible for her daughter's downfall not the teacher.

Teaching is one of the hardest professions in the world because we are the Mother of all professions.

I'm just looking for money now to do my International Passport. Once I get it by God's grace, I don leave Nigeria for una.

Truly, Being a teacher is a calling. I believe however only few are genuinely called.

The only problem is that many do it out of poverty not calling.

Just as we have many quack pastors, we have many quack teachers.

A true teacher by calling will not complain ceaselessly of low salaries like many uncalled teachers but will work harder to make ends meet.

In the good old days we had majority truly called teachers. Education had a high standard in Nigeria in the 60s to 80s.

But these days, teaching seems to be an escape route out of extreme poverty, but really it isn't. It's a very noble call but unfortunately many that have no business teaching professionally answer it.

Tragedy....

Sadly, another glorious destiny cut so short.

May God have mercy on us to see the new year.

Simply go to her and say,

"madam, please your cooking with firewood is bringing too much smoke in my room. Please can you adjust your cooking to gas?"

Reason with her, she's isn't a monster, she won't eat you.

bamvik:
I need an illustration or an example of these passage from bible scholars.

"Psalms 23:5: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies"

It means the anointing will bring you into honor in the midst of your enemies and they cannot do anything about it.

However you skipped that part, he anointed my head with oil and my cup overflows.

TemplarLandry:
His case is highly spiritual.
He should get closer to God if he knows what's good for him.

Many times God warns us of what is coming through dreams.

We tend to ignore our dreams and when crisis or troubles comes, we run everywhere looking for solutions.

His situation is even pathetic considering the fact he's paralyzed now.

So sad, What a pity.

The almighty God called Moses at the backside of the desert and sent him on a mission to liberate His people from their captivity in Egypt.

After his meeting with God, Moses and his brother Aaron stood before Pharoah and relayed God's message to him.

Pharaoh grimaced and bluntly told God's servants that he won't let the Israelites go, besides he didn't have an idea who their God was.

What followed after another meeting with Pharoah were a series of miracles followed by a series of magic.

Aaron threw his rod on the floor and it became a serpent. Again, Pharoah grimaced and called for his magical acts.

Among others, two men called Jannes and Jambres came out and performed the same miraculous feat of Aaron. However Aaron's serpent had a tasty meal of the serpents of the magicians.

After seeing how his magicians duplicated Aaron's miracle, Pharaoh's heart was hardened and he defied the living God of Israel.

Jannes and Jambres continued to replicate the miracles of Moses and Aaron:

▪️They equally turned water into blood. (Exodus 7:22)

▪️They equally brought up frogs on the land. (Exodus 8:7)

However they failed to replicate the miracle of lice that was spread all over Egypt. (Exodus 8: 16-18)

These two infamous magicians were first described by the apostle Paul:

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
— 2 Timothy 3:8

Both of these men were highly versed in the secrets of the dark world of ancient Egypt. They obviously had pacts with demons which enabled them to perform magic.

Like the apostle Paul's description, Jannes and Jambres were hardened in their consciences and resisted the true God.

Satan is the prince of this world and he is the ultimate source of magical miracles:

For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles...
— Revelation 16:14

When Adam, the first man sinned, he forfeited his great supernatural power to the devil on a platter of gold. (Luke 4:6)

However the devil's supernatural power is critically limited to God's. (Job 1: 6-12, Luke 10:18-19) God's power is without limitations. (Luke 1:37)

What is magic? Magic is simply counterfeiting the power and miracles of God through diabolical means. (Acts 8: 9-11)

The devil specializes in counterfeiting God, he tried to be equal with God, but he couldn't. (Isaiah 14:14) So he imitates God, especially in the miraculous.

However as seen in the episode of Jannes and Jambres, the power of God will always by far exceed that of the kingdom of darkness.

What lessons we can learn from Jannes and Jambres?

1. Like Jannes and Jambres, many people still practice magic today in witchcraft, false religion and occultism.

2. Like Jannes and Jambres, many people today professionally use magic to deceive great multitudes from the true power of God.

3. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, there are many servants of the devil today who oppose God's anointed with magic.

However, Just the same way Jannes and Jambres were exposed, the true power of God will always expose magic as counterfeit and inferior.

From ancient times to present times, MAGIC has always been in existence in different forms and packages in the world. People practice magic in every sphere of the society.

POWER (by the Word of God) is therefore non-negotiable for the bona-fide child of God.

A powerless church is a great tragedy indeed.

When you take lots of risks in your youth with the attendant failures and successes, you will have plenty to laugh about in old age.

OBJ is a good example.

Wealth and riches don't last forever....

They can grow wings and fly away when you least expect.

Hope mikel invested his football money well.

As for the family entitlement mentality which he's complaining about, it's a personal thing o.

Nobody can force you to help your folks.

Michael547:
What do you mean by typology errors?
To the extent that five translation committees cannot detect the same error?

2) since fasting isn't an option, when and for how long did Jesus say an individual Christian should fast?
Where in the bible Did Jesus give pastors the authority to declare fasting for his disciples?

You are questioning me the way they interrogate terrorists

Abeg e don do.

I have said the truth, if you refuse to believe me, it's your cup of hot milo.

Michael547:
Oga I am referring to Christians and not the isrealites.
Where did Jesus command fasting and also said you should go about telling people how you fasted and for how long?

2) so other Bible versions that we have are not authorized abi? After I have exposed your teaching with at least five different versions of the Bible, you are talking about authorization. So you know more than the five translating committees that exempted fasting in that verses.

Jesus never commanded fasting, but He said implicitly in his teachings that fasting isn't an option for his disciples.

Mark 9v 29, and Matthew 17 v21 lacks fasting in some translations because of typology errors.

Michael547:
1)What are examples of spiritual results that one must fast to get?
Where in the bible did the early church hold communial fasting that was brought upon them by the apostles?

2) Is the pastor not trying to prove that he is spiritual strong by telling them for how long he fasted despite His age? What's the point of such information if it is not intended to show off?

3)below is a screenshot of Mark 9:29 in other versions of the Bible. Nowhere is fasting added to prayer in that verse. The word 'fasting' in that verse of the king James version has not been found in older manuscripts of the Bible, that is why many Bible versions do not include it in that verse.

Lol.....

Don't you read the Bible?

There are so many spiritual results that follow fasting in the Bible.

Moses fasted 40 days and spoke face to face with God. As a result his face shone.

Esther and the Jewish people fasted and were miraculously delivered from genocide and their enemies.

Jesus fasted and extraordinary miracles followed his ministry. Etc.

Even in pastor adeboye's ministry, fasting is the power force behind many of the miraculous in his services, that's why he talks about it.

The KJV is authorized. Believe it.
