this is just class.

Well, mine was not just writing but scratching....it seems the culprit used a nail or some sharp object to write the numbers 1- 13...crossing from the luggage end of vehicle to the back door.I simply blessed their innocent hearts.

Thanks to HisServant , yommyuk and all other contributors. It is eye opening.

naijababe: If this is not idol worship, i don't know what is

My sister, I tire o

Omofranca: Interesting dilemma! A beautiful Christian would-be model was dropped by model scouts on DSTV's reality programme, 'Scouted' because she gave too many conditionalities like "no underwear modelling" or "no too revealing clothes." It's possible but he/she should be prepared to be turned down or to turn down many lucrative but faith compromising deals especially if targetting the international scene.

modelmike7: . . . . . . . . . Yes he or she can model, i'm a living testimony, I am a model and a born again christian, and av been modelling for years now (before entering d university and till i graduated and served my father's land) now, i'm more into it on a part-time basis. To God b d glory, I av done series of calendar jobs, posters ad, News paper & Tv ad, Fashion Shows et al, But there are some jobs i cant do, even as a guy. So to ur question : he / she can model, but it is not all the jobs that comes ur way you will do. There is nothin wrong in modellin for a Soft Drink Company, a Telecomm/Mobile Phone Company , An Eatery, An Airline Company isn't It? But u can stay away from d ones the Fed Govt always advise u that its dangerous to ur health or stay away from Any job that require you to reveal some parts of ur body. So it's all about who you are as a person. Goodluck and dont deviate when you get there cos there are many distractions in there just like any job in the Entertainent Industry Generally. Cheers!!!

I like both testimonies. Many of the so called Christians will keep their faith aside and get the money with the plan of praying for forgiveness. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? (Romans 6:1 KJV)

obadiah777: SPLITTING HAIRS ARE WE

Yes o.... I want to see the crux. There may be specific reasons why it is so; someone just gave a nice idea as to why it is used and I buy it.

obadiah777: OYEDEPO

una be clowns.

seyibrown: In the Bible, the man Jacob, was mostly referred to as Jacob - even after he was renamed Israel by God, right up till his death. You will find that on most occassions where he was referred to as Israel there was some reference to his sons/family. Israel was mostly used to refer to Jacob's descendants collectively, while Jacob mostly reffered to the individual. 'The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob' ,therefore, follows as particular reference is being made to the God that these individuals served. 'God of Israel' is usually used to refer to the God of the descendants of Jacob collectively.

I like how you juxtaposed Jacob and Israel. Many thanks.
Any other idea?

Kamsy10: It's a shame that most pastors dont talk about sin again as long as you pay tithe, forgeting that tithe was only mentioned in the old testament
Or has Malachi 3:10 moved to the new testament?

My brother, I tire o. I once asked a congregation to raise up their hand if they recently saw a church poster with ' Jesus Is Coming Soon'? No one raised a hand.

The messages of salvation, consecration and sanctification is now archaic.

ijawkid: Its the same thing...

Jacob = isreal and vice versa....

Why was it not used inter-changeably?

Interesting .

Still waiting? Please, Where are the bible scholars?

Please bothers and sisters, could any of you tell me Why is God not called the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel? But rather He says 'I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob'. Afterall ,He changed Jacob to Israel.

All I can say is :
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. (1 Corinthians 10:23, 24 KJV)

joe4christ: [size=15pt]You do have the Holy spirit residing inside of you i believe, if you are faithful in tithing and want to stop on the seventh year, the holy spirit inside of you will groan in pain and dissagreement, believe me, it does'nt apply to the body of christ (The new testament church) the problem i discorver with the church of the generation is that we seem to be lazy or in disbelieve that God still speaks and directs, cos we've rendered the holy spirit domant thereby not listening when he speaks, the holy spirit is not on earth for no reason, he is meant to direct us into all truth as rightfully stated by the Lord Jesus himself while on earth, the holy spirit is real and guides, personally there is no question i dont ask him and each time i do atimes even before gathering those questions i intend asking he would have provided me with the answer with deep deep insight that i can only relate it with the brightest light that shines in darkest of all dark, he is real, and unvails mysteries of heaven, earth and the kingdom of christ to the heirs of salvation, i dont know why you all are afraid of listening to him, he is the greatest friend and teacher i have ever known, he's always there with me in hardest times and good times, he gives me hope whenever i find myself in life's challenges by reminding me of what the word of God says conscerning that issue and finally give me his personal words of wisdom and knowledge for that situation, he gives me peace in the mid of trouble and problems of life, he is a friend i cannot trade for the entire riches of the world, he is the only one who assure me of my eternal inheritance in christ, he is the only one that assure me of my making heaven cos he promised to keep me till my dieing moment so i will appear blameless before the throne of the father.
Whenever i'm not in good term with him due to my sins, i lose my peace and Joy, i feel insecure without him, i know i wont survive a month without him in my life.
He is indeed a Gift from God to the heirs of salvation.
If you're not experiencing what i just wrote then you're really missing a lot, infact you've missed out of God's intend plan, the holy spirit is too sweet, no wonder he's called the sweet spirit of the living God.
Repent of your sins, accept Jesus as your lord and saviour and then ask the lord to baptise you with his spirit (HOLY SPIRIT) and then get baptised with water and then continaully fellowship with him and make his voice more audible to your hearing by spending much time studying the word of God (The Bible)
I wish the church hear from the holy spirit as i do we would'nt be here arguing over this issue and others like about the Godhead and many more.
God help your church to grow in Jesus name. Amen!!! [/size]

@ joe4christ,
I doubt if what you have is the Holy Spirit so you better check it like another rightly posted earlier. I am a born again Christian. I need not give you full details of my Christian foundation but do know I have a ministry. I would strongly advise you get closer to God so that you can hear from Him better because I know my God can never deceive you by telling you I am not born again.

@ FHEMMY, JOAGABAJE & other tithe preachers,
Do you all know that you are not meant to tithe on the seventh year as it is a tithe break? Have you or has your pastor ever preached this? I have never seen any pastor tell the congregation that ' if you know you have been tithing for 6 years, please you will not tithe the seventh year' in accordance with LEV 25: 1-7

Iolo: Deuteronomy 14:

24 But if that place is too distant and you
have been blessed by the Lord your God and
cannot carry your tithe (because the place
where the Lord will choose to put his Name is
so far away),

25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and
take the silver with you and go to the place
the Lord your God will choose.

26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like:
cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink,
or anything you wish. Then you and your
household shall eat there in the presence of
the Lord your God and rejoice.

27 And do not neglect the Levites living in
your towns, for they have no allotment or
inheritance of their own.

My Questions are:

1. The levites were the ones doing the works of God serving as Priests etc in the bible. God clearly declared that they should own no lands or valued properties of their own.

How are Pastors ignoring this and buying private jets for their private use?

2. God clearly states that Tithes (which were crops or animals as in the OT days) can be converted to money and spent on whatever your heart desires.

How does this reflect on the present day you must bring 10% to the church syndrome?

3. There is no where in the NT where tithe was mentioned. None of Jesus's disciplies was known to pay tithe. And Jesus himself was never known to pay Tithe @ the temple during his days. If we can safely assume (based on the absense of anything tithe in the NT) that Jesus didn't pay tithe during his time, where are we Christians being convinced to pay tithe?

Would appreciate someone who can answer these questions in detail and intelligently, as they've bugged me for quite sometime.

Honestly, I don't know why people don't read this portion of the bible and why pastors who say they are honest never buttress it.

Uncanny Genius: Christ is the head of the Church and not a fetish, Satanic Queen.

Undisputably Christ is the supreme spiritual head. But as far as uk is concerned, the queen is the physical head. If you are in doubt, ask your pastor. Whether rccg, deeper life, MFM. So long as you are a registered church in England. She is the head just like the pope is to the catholic church. Unless your church is not registered and that means it is illegal. You guys better stop saying things on assumption. Have you any personal proof that she is satanic? Why not leave her to God?

booqee: have you taken ur lunatic drug dis morning??

Madam, not everyone takes drugs like you may do.

Adamsdelrio: Females are very easy to control when they are still young. But when they start developing oranges then you are in 4 it. U have to start watching out 4 orange suckers! Females are gullible and easily deceived by little things like gifts, money. Boys are generally stubborn when they are young but most later change and learn to take responsibily. Boys too can be wayward sometimes but i prefer raising male children to female. SHIKENA!

Seconded.

chucky234: female children are special,I go to almost everywhere including business meetings with my daughter since she was 6 month old,police even attempted to arrest me one afternoon as I was driving to Ikeja with her in my car without the mother with us. She is just 3yr but very brilliant and inquisitive,I can't swap her for any male child.

Don't worry, wait till develop oranges.

I hope you all know that she is the head of all churches in England and that she was put on the throne by God. If you don't fear man at least have some reverence to God. Rather than abuse her, please pray for her.

Royalty1: Christ died on the cross to save me. Not only did he save me, he has made me 'Joint Heir' with Him. He also calls me friend. He is the one I talk to every now and then.
Paul said, That I may know Him(Christ) and the power of his ressurection, and the FELLOWSHIP of His suffering'.
My fellowship is with Christ and that's the most important part of it all.
Angels are messengers, sent to me by God, and I also send them on errands(in prayer) in line with God's word. I do not care to know how they look like. All that matters is that they work for me to bring God's purpose to fruition in my life.

I just hope this interest in angels will not shift our attention from Christ to mere messangers.

God bless you.

Well said.

sandysprax: I'm a catholic bro, [b]We pray to them as intercessors to God, [/b]we dont actually pray to them. Thats what she meant to say. Its like asking ur mum to plead on ur behalf to ur father, at the end, it is ur father we has the final say.


We dont pray to mary or angels as catholics please. Thank You.

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; (1 Timothy 2:5 KJV) . I rest my case.

davesndy: U all are talking abt d ministry of angels. Hebrews 1 and 2 will help u undastnd. We shld seek d face of Jesus instead. Angels are JUST servants! Seek d face of Jesus in d Word of God. Be careful guyz

Exactly my point.

Tintinix: When the Bible says "He will give his Angels charge Over you...."The subject matter to this sentence is the 'He'.
Angels are ministering spirits; messengers of God sent to fulfil God's and our desires.. So it is their Duty to wake u at 12 or 2 am if you requested that! They have failed if they don't!
@OP,I would like to concur with KKK however taking it from this angle!
As exciting and awe inspiring the manisfestaions of angels could be, please do not loose sight of the Maker and focus on His creation! If you chanel this much enthusiasm into seeking more of Jesus Christ, allowing the Holy Spirit to take absolute control of your life! These angels experience you will almost take for granted and thank the Father who is alway Faithful, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Same exhilirating feeling can be experienced by demonics when they see the manifestation of Demons, but in this instance Satan will not be vexed as much as a focus on angels will grieve the Godhead, why becuase indeed ANYTHING that will turn the focus of children of God from Solely resting on God is welcomed by the Devil!
In as much as I percieve you are spiritually mature, how will u answer you maker if by the reason of this thread a baby christain begins seeking these 'paranormal' experience which will definately come when there is a strong desire, and gets deceievd into other vices. Please be guided.

Thank you for agreeing with me and it gladdens my heart to know people still have deep understandings of the scriptures.

Neo97: I speak wit dem all d time. Annunakis, Nordics, Pleadians, Dracos, Reptoids, Greys ..... d whole crew

You be clown

sadeiyare: Please read my opening post very well, and don't derail the thread. Nobody talked about seeking angels. Paul said I have not shun to declare all the counsel of the gospel, please if what I said wasn't scriptural, point it out and don't be bais

From your posts , I see nothing to the contrary. You are asking people to seek angels and am saying it is not wrong to have spiritual experiences of angels but it is wise to seek the MASTER (Jesus Christ) and if the master so decides (perhaps after serious prayers and fastings), you will experience it. I know people that have seen angels physically so it is no news to me.
If you look at your post again, you will observe that you never mentioned having this experience through seeking God or Jesus Christ and as such, it could be interpreted to seek angels directly. Please read you post quoted below:

sadeiyare: I have been seeing,talking and interacting with angels physically and spiritually, since 1999.Their ministry have been documented in every book of the Bible.I wonder why christains have not taking this seriously,knowing that we all have one. My question is this, have you ever seen or sensed an angel,physically, in your dreams and otherwise ? And if yes, what have you done to increase this Heavenly assistance and fellowship ?

TALKING ABOUT ANGELS. Hebrews.1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

AjanleKoko: How many places has he applied to? How many tests or interviews has he been called for? Since he has a first class degree, he should apply for any and every entry level job that he can find. As an agronomist, he can work in any of these FMCGs, like BAT, Nestle, Guinness, NB Plc, WAMCO, P&G, UAC, Unilever, etc. They all advertise entry level jobs. He should find their addresses, go to their offices, and drop his CV.

I agree with Ajanlekoko on the above especially on the bolded.
Since he made a first class, he doesn't need to do a masters degree in his field but could go straight for a PhD if he gets a supervisor which should not be difficult in his school or any school with specialist in his field of study.
As for job, he needs to keepmapplying aggressively and pray that God grants him grace .

Yemotiroro: This generation amazes me. If you were a student under his tutelage when Dr Adeboye was a lecturer in UNILAG in 1973 (when a lot of NLers had not been born) would you have considered him an ignoramus. Is it that we are so uncultured that we have forgotten that the man in question (whether he truly said what is credited to him or not) is old enough to be our grand father.
Besides, as a man of God he does not speak to impose himself on his flock. I have known and studied him over the years. If truly he said this, it must be a problem-solving directive to contain the myriads of issues that come before him day by day. You need to be close to a man of his calibre to know how their hearts bleed for the errors and repercussions of wrong marriages. If you think this is not a wise counsel, then leave it. It's regretful how many young people think themselves wise until they fall into their own error.
The great undoing of today's youth is the inability to listen to, let alone distill the wisdom in the utterances of the elders. BTW I do not attend RCCG.
Just remember that what the elderly see in the horizon while sitting a youth will not see though he climbs the tallest of trees. A word is enough for the wise.

I could not have said it better.

buchibabe: In as much as d husband is d head of d home and ur obliged to obey him,me thinks he should be a little unselfish and worship where his whole family would enjoy d services togeda. A family dat prays togeda stays togeda.

I second that. Pray to God for direction. That is why the Holy ghost is here.

Praise God!
