Osimhen will regret not accepting the Saudi offer

Only if he gets a career ending injury... God forbid.

He's still young, he needs competitive football (uefa champions league) to boost his image internationally.

He can go to Saudi when he is in his 30s.

Joshua will definitely struggle against deontay... he must be in his best physical and mental form to eke out a win.

Wow congrats to him...

Usyk was just too skillful and technical for Joshua.

This is one area of our Biblical journey we often shy away from talking about.

I am certain I am not alone in this regard.

How does it feel if at 9. am on a Sunday morning, I come out for an altar call after a powerful heart-shattering and guilt-provoking sermon, give my life to Christ; I am prayed for and declare born again, but I unconsciously commit a sin on my way back home?

And with that guilt, I go back to sin full time like it was before the alter call?

I guess I am not alone in this regard. I have attended church services countless times and listened to sermons and teachings that I can't recollect, and at the end of such endeavour, I obey the alter call one minute, and the next minute, I am back to fornicating. This is one thing that has kept a lot of people out of this spiritual journey.

Even Pastors are not immune to sin, as some have found themselves committing sin at one point or the other. I guess Apostle Paul suffered same in the Bible. And this brings me to my question.


Does being again make you immune to sin, and is it a vaccine against sinning?

Is it that if I sin, it will no longer count against me because I have Grace?

Or is it a merry-go-round of sinning and asking for forgiveness shortly afterwards until we get better at not sinning anymore?

And if the latter is the case, why do churches hate and guilt-shame members when they sin but defend pastors when they do the same?

When you are born again, it's your spirit that is renewed not your body.

The human body is sinful but your spirit is righteous because of Christ's presence by the Holy Spirit.

As long as you are in this body, you will always be prone to sin. However, the more you grow spiritually by reading the Word of God, praying and fasting, the more you live above the sinful tendency of the body.

Peace of mind.

👍

Unfortunately, sexual lust will condemn majority to hell.

The rate of pornography consumption/fornication is seriously escalating.

No doubt, pornography is one of the greatest problems of our generation. It fuels fornication.

Military rule is old fashioned

and outdated.

Pure academic.... First class brain!

Problems everywhere.

The reason why Noahs ark was full of animals instead of humans

Hmmmm....

Even God regretted making humans.

But still, good humans do exist.

As anointed as pastor adeboye is, some people still get mind dey label him as occultic...

Hmmmm.

Does he speak German??🤔

Lol.... As long as he's scoring, no pressure or problems.

No doubt pastor adeboye is anointed of God....

And his anointing will keep increasing.

Reminds of a recent online scam promising using crypto trading to double your investment in an hour...they even had people testifying to its legitimacy

Funny enough, I thought it was legit.

FreedomfromtheT:
The Deeper Christian Life Ministry popularly known as the Deeper Life Bible Church, the ministry founded by the revered pastor William Kumuyi in 1973 is 50 years this month of August, 2023.
This church has really come of age.
As a Christian, in which areas do you honestly think this church needs to improve on and which areas need innovations?
Thanks.

As long as he preaching the full gospel and winning souls, there's literally nothing more to add to his mission,

EXCEPT

maybe in the area of music. The book of psalms encourages variety of musical instruments including cymbals, etc.

His church can be musical and still insist on holiness.

Peacecore:
No be City man. We've come to rule futbol for 360yrs nonstop.

Let's wait and see...

Every club has its diminishing returns.

Sooner or later, the law of diminishing returns will hit man city as it did Liverpool...

Could be this season or next_pep would be considered a genius if he leaves the club on a high.

He will score plenty goals for Bayern...

Nice transfer.

Tragedy...

a shining star cut short so soon.

This life is full of evils; live wisely, purposely and with the fear of God.

I was in the dream when I heard a loud voice. Who are you? The voice was so loud. I answered the voice. I am so so person. I mentioned my names. Because I am an ex military man. I attached my Rank and answered, I was a soldier.

The voice replied back. No. You were a solider of the world but, I will make you a soldier of Christ. Immediately I woke up. I woke my wife and asked her if she heard any voice? She said no. She said it's God that was calling me. She told me pray and ask God to equip me if truly he wants me to do his work. I prayed and slept.

Few days later in the dream. I saw myself standing alone. A man kitted in the military uniform, asked me to follow him. I followed him. He entered a room and asked me to enter. When I entered with him. Behold, the room was filled with different types of arms and ammunition. The man asked me to kit up. I kitted up, hanged my riffle.

When I came out from the room. The man pointed to a vehicle parked nearby. I could see some men seated in the vehicle. He told me to join the men in the vehicle. There was an assignment for us in my home town. Immediately, I woke up. I woke my wife again to narrate my dream to her. She said the prayer she asked me to pray for God to equip me, I have been equiped. The people in the vehicle are other Pastors who have been waiting for me to join them to preach the gospel. Finally, that God wants to use for something in my home town.

For those who are spirit filled, please, could you further help me to interpret the dream? I want to relate it to my what wife said. Thanks.

God is calling you to preach the gospel:

Go on a 3 day fast to:

1. To seek more spiritual directions from God concerning your ministry.

2. To seek spiritual empowerment.

Very painful indeed....

Pastor bimbo's death no doubt hurt him so much, that's why he took his time (5years) to marry another dynamic woman of God.

But unfortunately, she too passed prematurely.

His heart was terribly broken. There's a limit of grief the human spirit can take as the book Proverbs aptly puts it:

The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
— Proverbs 18:14

The issue of curses is real and is no respecter of anyone. Deliverance from curses should be taken seriously.

Justnice11:
Before having that sex with that person not your married spouse, please pause and think about the terrible repercussions.

Is the 5 minutes pleasure worth the nasty effects associated with it?

Think about sexual viruses.

Think about unwanted pregnancies

Think about your life that could be ruined in an instant.

Flee from sexual immorality

Sex is meant to be between two married people alone.

God bless you

Loss of destiny is the greatest consequence of premarital sex on earth.

Bvlgari:
Dear Ladies,

If you're between 35 to 40 years old and yet no husband is coming, look for a guy you love either married or single and let him knack you and impregnate you.

You need a child that will look after you at old age.

Don't let anyone deceive you, Marriage is not an achievement, and it's not everybody that will get married.

You can still be single with your own child and still be happy and fulfill your purpose here on earth.

Truly marriage isn't an achievement but truly marriage is a very big blessing from God if only you marry right.

Not ever woman will get married but having a child out of wedlock, though convincing, all the same isn't godly.

Why not adopt? Besides, does the woman in question have the financial muscle to cater for the child??

Such is life o.... very sad indeed.

But truly, nobody is born useless. Every baby's destiny is priceless.

Tvegas:
Waoooh Pst Taiwo is gone...... listening to your Barrytone voice on your radio program "Wisdom For Living" in the late 90's was so refreshing. What of the awesome times at "Discovery For Men".

I never fully got over Pst Bimbos Loss and now this.Losing so many loved ones must have taken its toll on you. Teach us to number our days oh Lord that we may apply our heart to Wisdom. Oh God, comfort Tolu,Jimi,Tobi and the church he left behind. RIP Pastor of Pastors,A Humble man of God Pst Taiwo Odukoya.

Bimbo was diamond in flesh. I wonder how I myself could have coped if I lost someone like her.

Truly, he never fully recovered from bimbo's death. So sad his second wife died untimely as well.

Was he under the curse of prematurely death??

We can't say, but it's so painful to lose 3 jewels in ministry in the space of 2 decades

2 Chronicles 20
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹⁵ And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

¹⁶ To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.

¹⁷ Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

…
²¹ And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.
²² And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

²³ For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

²⁴ And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

²⁵ And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.


As the people of Judah sang praises to God in the battlefield, God fulfilled his promise by fighting for them against their enemies.

Praising God accelerates the fulfillment of His prophecies or promises to us.

Has God made a promise(s) to you that hasn't come to pass yet? Or have you been standing on God's Word for some time now and you are yet to see it come to pass?

As you begin to speak God's Word back to His hearing and begin to praise Him, He will arise and powerfully perform His WORD in your life.



Exodus 2
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²³ And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
²⁴ And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
²⁵ And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.

What moved God to intervene in liberating His people from their oppressors wasn't their groanings, but the remembrance of His prophesies to their fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

One excellent way of reminding God of His previous prophesies to us is by praising Him.

Why praise?

God created man to praise Him. When we praise God, we get God's FULL favour, attention and presence.


Psalms 149
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
⁷ To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
⁸ To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
⁹ To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.

When we praise God and speak His Word concerning us back to His hearing, it acts as a twoedged sword.

God is extraordinarily motivated to perform His WORD when we praise Him.

A very vital and powerful weapon of warfare is combining praises and God's prophesies!

God ❤️'s homosexuals but He hates their sin.

That's why Jesus died a horrific death on a cross in order that all their sins may be forgiven and washed with His blood.

It seems the pope is condoning gays as being normal but he is wrong!

Nigeria will humble the 3 lionesses

Oh lord, make me relevant like this man.

Myer:
Kanye West is what happens when a new convert falls into the hands of False teachers/Pastors.

His church failed to obey God's command and today He is simply making a mockery of his salvation.

He needed years of thorough and indepth discipleship. He's a type of Paul.
Because he had sold his soul to the devil.
Obviously the demons he's dealing with are not the regular demons other believers face.

He's battling with pride, narcissism, arrogance rebellion, lust/greed, Mammon, addictions, etc
It's obvious he's backslidded.

I pray God Love and Grace finds him again.

It takes the grace of God to be rich/famous and yet to be humble.

That's why fasting is such an important spiritual discipline for believers. Fasting humbles your soul before God regardless of your wealth status.

Kanye is obviously missing it big time. Pride goes before a fall.

How can you be sacked in absentia??
