Waiting for pastor adeboye and pastor kumuyi own

I pity people way dey go to church

No matter the shortcomings and even wicked acts from some of these respected leaders, you must still go to church. Don't let someone's error make you lose your own salvation. Our Lord Jesus already told us these things will happen.

brain54:
He already said he isn't like other preachers...

Comparing to Jesus is absurd.

He has right to take legal actions if he is being misquoted out of context.

I don't like his ways but he can do that!

No, he can't do it his own way. He must be guided by the word of God.

A glimpse of the Great White Throne Judgment Day

Revelation 20:11-15

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. note

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Is your name in the book of life?

Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. Please, open it, and let him come in.

CHAPTER TWELVE - The Danger of Rejecting Gods Plan of Salvation for Your Life (Excerpt from my book, How to Be Born Again?)

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - John 3:16-18.

God is a God of love. He also is a God of judgment. All who reject Gods plan of salvation for their lives are putting themselves in danger of Gods judgment.
The final destiny of those who reject Gods plan of salvation is the lake of fire. When a sinner dies, his soul goes to hell where he is held in custody and tormented till the final judgment day.
Some argue that hell isn't real, questioning how a loving God could create a place to punish people for eternity.
Hell is real my readers. It is clearly revealed in God’s word. God did not create hell for man. It was prepared for the devil and his angels. However, those who chose to reject Gods plan of salvation for their lives will also be punished there. If God exempt man from such punishment, the devil will have a right to question Gods system of judgment. If he cast Satan away from heaven for plotting to overthrow him, then mankind should also face his wrath for disobedience.
When people think of hell, they tend to assume it is reserved only for those who are blatantly wicked. Good people also go to hell. In fact, most good people who are dead are in hell. They are good enough in the sight of men but if they do not accept Gods plan of salvation, they will go there.
There was a man in the book of Acts named Cornelius. The Bible testified of him as a good man and devoted in serving God but he didn’t know Jesus. God had to send Peter to him to tell him words by which he can be saved. Cornelius would have gone to hell in spite of his good deeds if he had not accepted Jesus. So many today are on their way to hell through the gate of their church. They are so committed to their church and even give so much money. You cannot fault their moral conduct but if they do not accept Jesus, they will go to hell.
God has given us examples of his fierce judgment on mankind in the past. The first is the destruction of the first world through flood when only Noah and his family were saved. The second is the destruction of two cities, Sodom and Gomorrah that were literarily licked by fire. Are these examples not enough warning for us? Jude said:

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, SUFFERING THE VENGEANCE OF ETERNAL FIRE. (Jude 1:7)

If you say that hell is not real, then Jesus lied to us because he spoke about hell in such a way that did not leave any ambiguity on the subject. There were occasions he did not even use the term hell to describe the eternal destruction of lost souls. He used the word, furnace of fire and outer darkness:

As therefore the tares are gathered and BURNED IN THE FIRE; SO SHALL IT BE IN THE END OF THIS WORLD. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; AND SHALL CAST THEM INTO A FURNACE OF FIRE: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:40-42).

Why not take advantage of the way of escape God has provided for you by the sacrifice of his Son on the cross rather than arguing about the reality of hell. Remember Jesus does not joke with words. Everything he says comes to pass. Our Lord Jesus said:

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24:35)

Jesus himself is the one that has the power to cast into hell and he says we should fear him more than those who can only kill the body:

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Matthew 10:28)

If the grave could not hold him down, is it now that he is alive that anyone can stop him? He is coming back to judge the world. The sign of his appearance alone will cause great panic such that people will prefer rocks to fall on them than to face Christ:

And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; AND SAID TO THE MOUNTAINS AND ROCKS, FALL ON US, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? (Revelation 6:14-17)

The Life on earth is so short compared to eternity. The suffering in hell and finally in the lake of fire is too severe compared with the temporal pleasures of sin on earth. Hence Jesus warned:

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36-37)

For detailed teaching on this subject, see my book, The Scriptural Revelation of Hell.

PeterJamesJohn:
It's not good but sometimes there's no choice. As long as you have a vibrant personal relationship with God, it's better to be church less than go to the wrong church. The wrong church can kill you spiritually.

Now for someone that's not serious with God, any church will be better than no church. Because that will make God be in your consciousness. Even if you're getting the wrong knowledge about God, you'll still be thinking about God. It's better than people who don't acknowledge God in their daily lives.

Your counsel is based on Scripture

ErebeOcoco:
The growing trend common in people these days is, I don't go to church but I am a spiritual person. Some would say I do good and I love God but I don't belong to any church.

Is it possible to love God, do good and not be affiliated to any denomination?

Religious experts, can a man claim to be a child of God without devotion?

No. If you are a child of God, you are instructed to attend church services regularly. You must therfore belong to a local assembly- Hebrews 10:25.

Violation will attract God's judgement and amounts to losing your salvation - Hebrews 10:26-31.

RealityKings1:
The flesh returns to the earth, the other essence returns the most high

Negative. There are two possible destinations, heaven or hell. And where you end up is dependent on what you did with the gospel of our Lord Jesus

CodeTemplarr:
I guess he is put to sleep until judgement day. The body rots away as dust and is consumed by another person as food to remain physically active. The soul i cannot say.

His spirit goes to heaven if he is saved while his soul goes to hell if he is not.

noobaland30:
How come Jesus died to humans if he’s God? Wouldn’t he conquer everything in his path if he was truly God and never died?

Yes, Jesus is God in human flesh. But he was also man because of the human body he was putting on. His mission was to save mankind. This is why he willingly died. Otherwise, nobody could have been able to kill him. He said:

John 10:18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

If he didn't die, mankind would have still been under the dominion of Satan. And we would all be heading for hell.

So, what happened on the cross was the greatest demonstration of God's love for mankind. Hence, our Lord Jesus said;

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

He died to save you and me. Legally, everyone sin has been paid for. But it is not vitally yours until you accept it. If you reject it, you have made a choice to continue to be under the dominion of Satan. And when you die, your soul will go straight to hell.

If leaders can be bought with money, should followers allow themselves to be bought with money too? Power belongs to the people. Let's shone these system of government that doesn't mean well for the larger populace. We only need to ensure that proper electoral process is followed. Are we not tired of being ruled by these polithiefians?

I feel so sorry for anyone who reject or neglect this free gift of salvation that is in Christ alone

1. Sinless Nature
Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life (Hebrews 4:15). Only someone without sin could offer Himself as a pure sacrifice for the sins of others (1 Peter 1:19).

2. Divine Identity
Jesus is not merely a prophet or teacher—He is God in human flesh (John 1:1, 14; Colossians 2:9). As God, only He has the power to save and forgive sins (Mark 2:5-7).

3. Atoning Death on the Cross
Jesus gave His life as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28), bearing the punishment for our sins (Isaiah 53:5-6). His death was substitutionary and redemptive.

4. Resurrection from the Dead
Jesus rose bodily from the grave (Luke 24:6; Romans 1:4), proving His victory over sin, death, and hell—something no one else has ever done.

5. Exclusive Mediator
The Bible says, “There is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). No one else qualifies to bridge the gap between a holy God and sinful humanity.

6. Power to Give Eternal Life
Jesus alone promises and grants eternal life to those who believe in Him (John 10:28; John 11:25-26). No religious leader or system can offer this.

7. Fulfillment of Prophecy
Jesus fulfilled over 300 Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah (e.g., Micah 5:2, Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 53), confirming His divine mission and identity.

These qualities establish Jesus Christ as the only true Saviour and the sole hope of eternal salvation for all humanity (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).

if the contact is Stephen ayantoye you'll be scammed

search for the person number on nairaland and Google B4 you proceed or rather use escrow

You'll be scammed don't say I didn't warn you

Thanks for the information. I will definitely use escrow.

This apprenticeship system is the way forward in Nigeria if you don’t want to get stranded. There's is hardly any igbo man that is into business that is hungry or crying in this government. What it just need is regulation

I suggest both the Oga and his boy should enter into a legal agreement. This will ensure that whatever was agreed is done.

Firebox123:
you have link your mail to unknown site

Go to your Google account settings to find out brr

I don't think this is the case. These are sponsored hackers. And it's not just one person. I have changed my email a couple of times because of this.

I already have a contact willing to assist. Thanks for your suggestion anyway m

Can I track the location with the device IP address?

I have been having issues with some of my accounts being hacked from time to time. It's been over 10 years now. Precisely my kdp Amazon account and even my Payoneer account. Sometimes, I am able to gain access to them. At other times, it takes months to gain access to them.

Just a moment ago, I decided to change my Amazon password, but the email I received from Amazon is showing me a different phone device requesting for the password change. This is not the first time.

And when I check my Google account, I see strange apps that I didn't download. I will remove them but after a while, I will still see them.

Right now, I can't access my kdp Amazon account. Can anyone guide me on what to do. I will sincerely appreciate useful suggestions.

I currently use a Samsung A05 device.

Are there phones that have protective device against hackers.

These are sponsored hackers. They have been operating against my online activities for over a decade.

Please, I need help.

Truthseeker10:
So Oga pastor....are you now agreeing that the name of the Father is Jehovah? And that Jesus claimed to declare the name of the Father in John 17:26?

What has that to do with the subject of salvation which is the most important subject on earth? You won't think about how you will make quality decision and receive the free gift of salvation. You just focus on trivial issues but neglect your salvation Accent Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and deliver yourself from the burning hell.

achorladey:
They are taught not see themselves as sons of God. Only the sons of God according to Jehovah's witnesses is 144,000. None of them can deny or say it is a lie. MaxInDHouse, Janosky, Aemmyjah, Truthseeker10 are not sons of God except they show evidence of eating the emblems at their memorial.

You are right. And they are completely blind to their doom.

showboy2301:
I've been thinking about the complaints of everyone concerning the present administration. And I believe that some people may have better options.
If you have the chance to nominate President, who would that be?? Please give reasons, thank you.

Not any of the present crop of politicians

Janosky:
Oga gate keeper of wetin you no know.
Do you even know the meaning of perdition?
Your hell had never been a place of perdition.
STOP throwing tantrums on this forum.

It's not a place of perdition but Jesus used terms like:

1. How can you escape the damnation of hell.
2. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth
3. Where the fire is not quenched.
4. In hell, being in torment
Etc.

Janosky:
Mark 12:29-30
"Yeshua said to him, "The first of all the commandments: 'Hear Israel, [i]THE LORD JEHOVAH your God, THE LORD JEHOVAH, he is One.' " 30"'And you shall love THE LORD JEHOVAH your God [/i]with your whole heart and with your entire soul and with your entire mind and with all your power.' This is the first commandment"

Oga, follow the footsteps of Jesus Christ & call his Father LORD Jehovah which Jesus copied from the old testament Tetragrammaton.

Please,Don't deceive yourself.

Ode. Search how many times Jesus called God Father compared to the name Jehovah. Well, you don't have the confidence to call God, Father because you are not yet a son of God. So, you are condemning yourself that you are not worthy to be a son of God

It starts by believing in Jesus and accepting him as your Lord and Saviour.

John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name

MaxInDHouse:
Continue deceiving yourself!

The devil is laughing at you. You are his lawful captive. A sure candidate of hell. A son of perdition.

MaxInDHouse:
Exactly what the Pharisees and Sadducees told their people about Jesus and his disciples yet they are the one and only performing Jewish religious group in the first century.

Ọmọ what God has blessed no man can curse!

I have lots of project I am working on. A book exposing all your lies would soon be released. And innocent captives will be set free. But you will rot in the very hell you deny its existence.

I wish the feat could be replicated when he comes to play for Nigeria. But the truth is that the Super Eagles is full of retired legs. They have become landlords who don't want to leave the team.

This idea points to government frustration in trying to fix the country. They should also come up with installmental payment of household electronics and even cars.
