Lukuluku69:
Deuteronomy 21:15 (KJV) If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

Pastor, that above is your Jehovah talking o

Was Hagar Abraham's wife?

There was a promise given to Abraham before Ishmael was born. Ishmael was not the promised child.

Lukuluku69:
Genesis 17:23 (KJV) And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.

But same God called and addresses Ishmael as Abraham son in his book as seen above? Jehovah can lie ni?

I am not contesting the fact that Ishmael is Abraham's son. What I am saying is that God did not recognize him.

The verse you quoted is an account written by the writer. It wasn't God speaking. It was a narrative of what happened.

When God tested Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, he called Isaac Abraham's only son.

I am expecting about $59 to be paid in at the end of this month. But I have an urgent need for the money now.

The minimum amount that can be sent from one Payoneer account to another is $50.

OK. I will modify the header

Lukuluku69:
I can see that you are sold on the Jewish lie.

Ishmael according to the Bible is the promised child. He was the FIRSTBORN and the Birthright was his. I can show you in your Bible.

The Jews switched the names but I don't expect you to see it. Thousands of years of repeating the same lies would seem it to be the Truth but no matter how many times it is repeated, it can't make it the TRUTH.

Whether you like it or not, whether you accept it or not, I belonged to that Nation promised Ishmael unless you are saying Jehovah lied.

Ishmael and her mother were driven away. And God did not even recognize him. Isaac is the only child of Abraham in the mind of God.

Lukuluku69:
Genesis 22:2 (KJV) And he said, Take now thy son, [b][/b], whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Those Reprobates switch the names....

The ONLY TIME Abraham had an ONLY SON was when he had Ishmael...

Broad day lie. Satan is a Saint where you are.

Genesis 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, THINE ONLY SON ISAAC, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

I have $33.55 in my payoneer account but can't withdraw because of the minimum amount of $50 required to transfer to my local bank account.

Can anyone help me with $20 Payoneer fund. I will transfer the money in naira to your bank account.

Please, anyone interested?

Terms of offer will be discussed.

1. A recruiting firm advertised for a job and people from 36 States and a Territory applied. The recruiting firm was tasked to recruit at least 25% of people from at least two thirds of the States and the Territory. If there are 100 people in each of the States and 120 people from the Territory, what's the minimum number of people the firm should at least employ?

A. 600
B. 620
C. 625
D. 630
E. None of the Above

2. In addition to the requirements above, the recruiting firm was told the Territory is also to be considered as a State. Thus the requirement reads thus: recruit at least 25% of people from at least two thirds of the States and the Territory. And the Territory is to be considered a State. What's the minimum number of people the firm should at least employ?

A. 600
B. 620
C. 625
D. 630
E. None of the Above


Please show your workings. Anyone who shows very clear workings and gets the answer has solved the 25% electoral requirement quagmire that is confusing many people.

We don't need your mathematics to understand the English grammar concerning the electoral requirement of 25% in two third of the states and FCT to become a President.

Besides, there is already a precedent on this judgment. And the judgment states that 25% is required in FCT. And by law, that judgment is binding on any other related judgment for life unless we want to introduce anarchy into the judiciary.

Lukuluku69:
Padre, belong to the Nation promised Ishmael. Whether you like it or not, the reality facing you and many of you is that that Nation God Promised is growing. Whether you acknowledge it or not is immaterial to the stark reality facing you.

From Mecca to Dacca,from Tashkent to Tehran, from New York to Delhi that Nation is growing. More and more are seeing that Light.

Join them or stay behind, it doesn't matter for the promise of God is true. They are growing and will continue to grow.

Ishmael was blessed because he came from the bosom of Abraham but Isaac is the promised child. And as such Messiah came through the lineage of Isaac and not Ishmael.

davillian:
It's soft for the Yoruba Muslims but for the Hausa Muslims hmmm it's close to impossible

Quite a few Muslims from the north have given their lives to Christ. Let's keep praying for them that many more will have the courage to do so.

Lukuluku69:
Laugh all you want Pastor it is your laughter but no matter how long you laugh your laughter, the stark reality is that thousands are seeing that Light and are becoming Muslims. So, you can continue laughing.

I put it to you that for every one reference you claim for Jesus in the Bible ( which usually crumbles in the face of reality checks) I will point you to TEN of such references of Prophet Muhammad in your Bible, which you can verify with the cold hard fact of history.

The choice is yours to either open your self to new reality and new perspectives and forgo the keyhole view approach that readers of the Bible adopted thru the ages.

The choice is entirely yours Padre!

You are just trying to encourage yourself with your lies. Deep within, you know that Mohammed was not sent by the true God.

He was a messenger of Allah and not God.

Allah is a deity different from God.

Maynman:
Does the first adam know what good and evil is before been tempted?
Does the last adam know what good and evil is before been tempted?
How are they then subjected to the same temptation?

Like you said earlier, first adam didn’t know who devil was, did jesus also not know who devil was?

The first Adam knew the instruction God gave him but he chose to disobey God. So, his ignorance of the knowledge of good God and evil does not count.

He was given a clear instruction and he ignored it.

Maynman:
Why then did jesus die?
If man still has to repent as a sinner before they can be saved, what’s the essence of jesus death?
Before jesus death, how were sinners saved?
After jesus death, how were sinners saved?

His death provides the legal ground for your salvation. But your choice determines if you eventually get saved. You either repent and accept the free gift of salvation or perish.

americanigga:
This religion thing is really funny.

Satan has a mission to win souls he did not creat from a mighty God and you just confirmed that he will defeat the Almighty God. God cannot stop him. God, his Holly spirit and his Son Jesus cannot stop their subject they created with their own hand from taking majority of their children to the lake of fire. This is ridiculous

God is a just God. It's not his duty to stop Satan. It's our duty to stop him by taking the right decision.

americanigga:
People who fail exams set by teachers are not burnt in fire like your God does. They are allowed to repeat the class, learn handwork etc

God gives us many opportunities to repent. Those who go to hell are the ones who rejected them.

americanigga:
Can you name 5 tangible things people who believe in Jesus benefit on Earth that none believers don't benefit, so we can easily distinguish believers from none believers

1. True believers are free from the guilt of sin and condemnation. Every other person still see themselves as sinners. But we don't. We are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

2. The believer has authority to cast out demons. The unbeliever does not. The seven sons of Sceva in the book of Acts tried to cast out demons in the name of Jesus and they were mercilessly beaten.

3. The believer will drink deadly poison and survive it but it will kill the unbeliever.

4. We have peace of mind that money can't buy. The unbeliever does not.

5. We have the capacity to receive the Holy Spirit and speak in other tongues but the unbeliever does not.

americanigga:
What you are saying is like a mother that has a 5 year-old child that she loves and a big dog. She knows (not think) that if she leaves the child and her big dog at home, the dog will eat the child. So she will now leave the dog and the child at home for both of them to fulfil their destiny. And she would still claim she loved the child after the dog ate the child.

In an attempt to exonerate your God, you ended indicting him.

Your example does not hold water.

The last Adam, Jesus was subjected to the same temptation the first Adam failed.

That the first Adam failed didn't make God change his principle.

Everyone must be subjected to test.

sonmvayina:
Are you trying to advice God?

When did God ask for it?

It's a spiritual principle that cannot be broken.

Redemption must be by blood.

Lukuluku69:
Pastor Ken, Isaiah 60 fulfilment is with the Muslims

Every single verse of Isaiah is about the Muslims starting from Prophet Muhammad, Mecca, the Muslims, their begining, their spread etc.

In fact, it is a summary of The Prophet Life, the condition of the world when he came and the fulfilment and accomplishment of his Mission.

Read Isaiah 42 as a precursor to Isaiah 60.

You make me laugh. You are day dreaming.

Mohammed has no single reference in the Bible. He is a self acclaimed Prophet. He has even told you he is not sure of his destiny. And you are still following. Who do you?

davillian:
Islam is a cult
If you leave you can be killed(Muslims)and by even members of your family...
It's not easy to leave the cult...

It's better to be killed and make heaven. Most of them who took the step of faith have been divinely protected.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 20 (The Tribulation Saints).

"And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of GREAT TRIBULATION, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."(Revelation 7:13-14).

After the 144,000 Jews were sealed for protection against the wrath of God that is about to be unleashed, John wrote; "After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands." (Revelation 7:9).

One of the elders asked John; "...What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?"(Revelation 7:13). The Elder asked John this question because the raptured saints were already in heaven. So, where did these ones come from? And they are too many to be numbered.

Well, John said he doesn't know. And the Elder revealed to him that they are the saints which came out of great tribulation. This statement refutes the claim by some Bible scholars that all believers will go through the great tribulation. If this claim is true, the question of their identity will be unnecessary.

Further details about these tribulation saints revealed that they are not the entire body of Christ. The later part of verse 14 says they "have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." It means their robes were stained with sin. If it's true that they represent the entire church, it implies that the whole church is in sin. And we know that this can't be true because Christ is coming for a glorious church without spot, wrinkle or any blemish - Ephesians 5:27.

So, the raptured church as I earlier revealed are the four beast or four living creatures before the throne. The tribulation saints at the time of rapture had stains on their garments. So, they missed the rapture. However, most of them made it after receiving cleansing by the blood of the lamb and also reaffirmed the Lordship of Jesus over their lives. Howbeit, they will all be persecuted to death. And so many who can't endure the persecution will renounce their faith and be eternally doomed.

The choice is yours. Be faithful in your service to God and keep your garment clean if you want to make the rapture. The second opportunity will not be an easy one. They will devise different means of torture just to make you renounce your faith. Tomorrow, we will throw a little more light on the tribulation saints of this present day church of the Gentiles.

Prayer: Righteous and Everlasting Father, be thou glorified above all else. I thank you for saving me and getting me acquainted with what we befall the lost souls and disobedient believers in the last days. I ask for grace to serve you better and live a life that is pleasing to you in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Hello everyone.
So apparently I was involved in a discourse with this good dude in a thread about the best argument for the existence of god. So during the debate, he challenged me to post the errors, lies, contradictions, miseducations etc in the bible. So I promised him I'm gon raise a thread and invite peeps to share their views and throw more lights about such gaffes
Now this isn't by any chance all of them, but the ones I can get my hands on in short notice. I'll post more gaffes as I run my rule over this book. I'll try to make them genealogical, that is from Genesis to Revelation, but sometimes I may jump the gun. Do bear with me. I may miss some, so y'all can chip in. Some may also not be errors but misjudgment on my part, so y'all can correct too.

Seen. I will respond much later.

There are two ways I can address it. Take the whole book, make my responses one by one. This will certainly take quite a while.

In any case, you will get my response.

sonmvayina:
When did God ask for a human blood.

Hope you are not confusing God with Moloch?

Only a human blood can meet the demand of justice. The value of the blood of animals is not the same as that of human.

You can't borrow a gold watch to a friend and he returns a silver plated watch. They are not the same value.

Man sinned. Another man has to atone for his sin. And that man has to be sinless.

Jesus is the only one qualified to die for mankind. Thank God he did. And he also rose from the dead. So, it wasn't a bad deal.

You rescued others by risking your life and you still made it. It's a win-win situation.

And it's worthy of celebration.

LottiOk:
"Thou shall not kill"........

Jesus willingly offered himself as a sacrificial lamb to save the world. You should be glad about that.

If you borrow money from a bank, you can't pay back with banana.

Only blood makes atonement for sin.

TinubuDeDrugLor:
Very interesting

Sure it is.

jaephoenix:
Lol. Do you want us to start here or I open a new thread so others can join in?

Open a new thread.

jaephoenix:
He is the judge, jury and executioner. He can forgive and forget

God is not a law breaker. He must act in such a manner to be just to every party involved.

The good news is that he has forgiven mankind every sin ever committed on account of the sacrifice of the blood of Jesus. I mean every past sin ever committed before accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

But if you don't repent, they will stand against you on judgment day.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 18 (Opening of the Sixth Seal).

"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood." (Revelation 6:12).

The opening of the sixth seal reveals what is about to happen to the earth just before the second coming of Christ. And this will be after the tribulation periods that will happen to the saints of the present church left behind and the Jews during last three and a half year reign of the anti Christ.

It’s important to note here that there will be two great tribulation periods. The first will be the persecution of the saints left behind after the rapture of the present church of the Gentiles. The second will be the tribulation period the Jews will go through in the last three and a half year reign of the anti Christ. It is this second tribulation period that Jesus made reference to in the twenty fourth chapter of the book of Matthew. The present day church at that time was still a mystery.

Our Lord Jesus said; "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken." (Matthew 24:29). This affirms what John the beloved saw in his vision as contained in the opening text.

John in his vision also saw the stars of heaven falling and the heavens departing like a scroll. The sight will certainly be scary. In addition, he said that every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Furthermore, John said; "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 6:15-17).

Prayer: Dear Father, I thank you for saving me from the wrath to come. I pray that your saving grace will reach out to lost souls as we share this gospel with them. Strengthen us to abide in the faith so we will not be condemned with the world in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 19 (144,000 Jews Sealed for Protection).

"Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel."(Revelation 7:3-4).

In the chronology of events of the last days we have studied so far, it is revealed that the faithful saints will be raptured first. They are actually the four living creatures before the throne of God in Revelation 4:6. The identity of the four living creatures is confirmed in Revelation 5:9. And the rapture will take place during the period the fourth horse is riding which is the time we are living in.
Immediately after the rapture of the church, the saints left behind will face great tribulation. Those who will still hold on to their faith will be saved but they will all be persecuted to death. Prior to this persecutions, the souls of those who were slain cried for vengeance at the opening of the fifth seal. And they were told to rest awhile until they have slain the other brethren like they were slain - Revelation 6:11.

And the remaining brethren will be slain during the great tribulation period. After the great tribulation periods, God will take vengeance against these wicked people of this world. But before he does that, 144,000 Jews will be sealed for protection so that they will not be affected by the judgment.

The 144,000 are from the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel; 12,000 from each tribe. However, the 12 tribes listed excluded the tribe of Dan which was one of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel. Bible scholars said Dan was excluded because they rejected the land allotted to them. In addition, they chose another land and went into idolatry.

It's imperative to mention here that the present day church is sealed with the Holy Spirit. But the 144,000 Jews will be sealed on their forehead because the ministry of the Holy Spirit ends with the rapture of the church. In addition, the ministry of the Holy Spirit in convicting the world of sin will be over after the rapture. No one will be saved among the Gentiles after the rapture of the church. Only those who are already saved but missed the rapture will have the opportunity to still make heaven if they cleanse themselves from their sins and hold on to their faith. The tribulation saints will be the focus of our study tomorrow.

Prayer: Great and Mighty God, hallowed be your name. I thank you for your mercy and grace upon my life. I thank you for the opportunity given to us to be part of your kingdom. I pray that you will deliver me from every temptations designed to disqualify me from making the rapture of the church in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 12 (Unveiling of a Book With Seven Seals).

"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals." (Revelation 5:1).

In the fifth chapter of the book of Revelation, John saw a book on the right hand of God seated on the throne sealed with seven seals. Narrating his vision, John wrote; "And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon." (Revelation 5:2-3).

John wept bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. However, one of the elders said; "... Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." (Revelation 5:5).

John saw Jesus as a lamb that appeared to have been slained having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And he came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne - Revelation 5:7.
When he did this, the four living creatures and twenty four elders fell down and worshipped the lamb and God that is seated on the throne with few songs of worship. The opening of the book with seven seals unveils the events of the future beginning from the days of the early church to the revelation of God's vengeance on the wicked people of this world and reward for the faithful saints.

Tomorrow, we will begin to look at these events some of which are already fulfilled. We will also know where we are in the time line of events as unveiled in the book with seven seals. Meanwhile, serve God continually with reverence and fear so that you will be counted worthy to escape the wrath of God.

Prayer: Dear Father, I thank you for keeping the night watch for me and the opportunity to witness a glorious new day. I thank you also for unveiling the events of the future to us as contained in the book of Revelation. I ask for your grace to stay focus in my service towards you in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 13 (Opening of the First Seal).

"And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.And I saw, and behold A WHITE HORSE: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."(Revelation 6:1-2).

The sixth chapter of the book of Revelation begins the unveiling of the events of the future through the opening of the seals one after the other. When the first seal was opened, John saw a white horse and on the horse is a rider with a bow and a crown given to him. And he had successive victories.

Who is the rider on that horse? And what does the colour white signifies in this context? Some Bible scholar says that the rider is Jesus himself. This can't be true because Jesus doesn't use a bow in warfare. A bow is a physical or carnal weapon and the scripture says that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal.

Jesus and his white horse is unveiled in the nineteenth chapter of the book of Revelation. And he makes war with a two edged sword in his mouth, not with a bow.

Quite a few other Bible scholars says the white horse represents the early church. This isn't also true. The church doesn't spread by physical war. We persuade men to receive the gospel through preaching and never by coercion.

There is also the assertion that it refers to the anti Christ. This is also far from the truth. This white horse rider has just a crown symbolic of one empire or a nation. The anti Christ will have ten crowns as the territory he will rule from will be a confederation of ten European countries - Revelation 13:1.

What then does it represent? The white horse rider represents the spiritual power behind the Roman emperors who beginning from the first century conquered most part of Europe, North Africa and near East. The Roman Empire generally experienced a period of prosperity and dominance in this period and the first century is remembered as part of the Empire's golden age. The white could be symbolic of the relative peace, prosperity and stability enjoyed during this period.

This event has already been fulfilled as Roman Empire already collapsed. Tomorrow, we will continue with the opening of the second seal. Make up your mind to serve the Lord without distraction as every single events in the book of Revelation will be fulfilled.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, you are worthy to be praised and adore. And I thank you for your goodness and faithfulness towards me and my family. You rule and reign in the affairs of men. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven in accordance to your predetermined plans in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Friday, April 14th.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 14 (Opening of the Second Seal).

"And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."(Revelation 6:3-4).

The opening of the second seal revealed a red horse and the rider was empowered to take peace from the earth and brought conflicts amongst nations that resulted in wars and great loss of lives.

This prophecy was fulfilled from the period of the first world war through to the second world war and other wars that took place in several nations across the world. Memory will not fail us to recall the Civil War that took place in Nigeria also.

Our Lord also predicted these wars during his earthly ministry. He said on the occasion he spoke about the events of the last days; "And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."(Matthew 24:6-7).

Till date, there are still wars that are being fought in quite a few nations but cannot be compared with the devastations that World War 1 and 2 caused. Wars cannot cease in this present earth as the world cannot enjoy peace after rejecting the Prince of peace who is Jesus.

But in the midst of these wars, God is able to preserve the saints especially those who have a special mission on earth that must be accomplished. The relative peace we are having presently on earth is because of the presence of the church. And any moment from now, faithful saints will be raptured. Ensure you keep your garments clean, walk in love towards the brethren and stay committed to your responsibility so that you will be counted worthy to go with the Lord when he comes.

Prayer: Dear Father, I thank for your mercy and grace that has kept me thus far. I commit my day into your hands trusting that only your counsel concerning me shall stand. Connect me with my destiny helpers and deliver me from wicked and unreasonable people in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Saturday, April 15th.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 15 (Opening of the Third Seal).

"And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand." (Revelation 6:5).

Yesterday, we discussed the opening of the second seal which took peace away from the earth and brought wars. The opening of the third seal unveils a black horse and he that sat on it had a balance scale in his hand. The verse that follows the opening text reveals what the scale is used for. And it reads;

"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." (Revelation 6:6). The New Living Translation renders the first part of the verse thus; "And I heard a voice from among the four living beings say, “A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay...”

The message is clear. There was a high rate of inflation which is expected as one of the negative effects of wars. It takes a day's wage to buy a loaf of wheat. It's like using three thousand naira (N3,000) you earn in a day's job to buy a loaf of bread which is supposed to cost N200 at most.

There was hunger in this period of the third horse and I believe that so many could have died from hunger. This is indicative of the colour of the horse. Black is a symbol of death and evil.

In spite of the high cost of stable food, the oil and the wine were untouched. The oil in the scripture is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. And we know that the Holy Spirit plays a vital role in the salvation of souls. So, salvation will still be available free to those who are ordained to eternal life.

The wine represents the blood of Jesus. When Jesus instituted the communion, he said this cup of wine is the new testament in my blood. So the Holy Spirit will be there to convict the world of sin and the blood of Jesus will be available for cleansing.

So, war has no effect on the free gift of salvation provided on the platform of grace. God's mercy will always reach out to lost souls even in the time of deep crisis. The kingdom of darkness is only interested in the destruction of lives and properties but God is not willing that any soul should perish. It is however our responsibility to communicate this gospel to lost souls at all times. Remember that there is joy in heaven when souls are won into God's kingdom. Be an instrument even today to beam the light of the gospel to sinners so they can be reconciled back to God to the praise of his name.

Prayer: Holy Father, I worship before your throne in spirit and in truth. I thank you for the salvation of my soul and the gift of life. I ask for boldness to always communicate the gospel of our Lord Jesus to lost souls. And as I do, may those who are ordained to eternal life receive this free gift of salvation in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Sunday, April 16th.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 16 (Opening of the Fourth Seal).

"And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."(Revelation 6:7-.

The opening of the fourth seal reveals a pale horse and the name of the rider is death. This is actually the era we are living in. This prophecy is fulfilled before our very eyes. This is why there is so much news about death like it has never been before.

There are strange forms of death that was unheard of decades back. You hear news of a brother killing a sibling because of a banana that cost just N200. Husbands are killing wives and wives are killing husbands in such a manner that one wonders if they truly have conscience.

A recent news reported a houseboy who killed his master working in the Central Bank of Nigeria. He also killed his wife and their only son on the excuse that he refused to increase his salary. People kill these days at the slightest provocation. This is because the spirit of death is in the air influencing them from the realm of the spirit to act like beasts. And those who easily yield themselves to the voice of that wicked spirit of death end up as tools in the hand of the devil.

The rate of suicide is also much higher than ever. Terrorist groups are also making life unbearable for people living in regions where they kill at will. Ritual killings and assassinations are also on the rise on a daily basis. It takes the divine protection of God to keep one safe in our going out and coming in.
And the opening text says that the effect of the killings will be felt in at least a quarter of the world population. So, it might get worse in certain regions. We might likely see fresh wars among nations. Communal and cult clashes are also likely going to be on the increase.

Accompanying Death in his ride is Hell personified. This is a pointer to the fact that most of this killings are projected from hell itself. And most of these souls end up in the pit of hell.

Believers all over the world should therefore spend more time praying and reaching out to these lost souls through planned evangelism and crusades. Also stand in the gap for your fellow brethren, family members and friends. We are at the very end of this age. The coming of Christ is near. Let's take this gospel to where the sinners are and reconcile them back to God faster than the devil is snatching them to hell. Above all, take heed that you don't fall into errors that could disqualify you on that day.

Prayer: Dear Father, I thank you for keeping me as the apple of your eyes. You have been my refuge from the storms of life and my help in times of need. I ask for your grace to do the work of soul winning as I should. Protect me, my brethren and my family members from the projection of death in every form in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Monday, April 17th.

Exposition on the Book of Revelation - 17 (Opening of the Fifth Seal).

" And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held." (Revelation 6:9).
The opening of the fifth seal unveiled the souls of believers who were slain for the word of God and the testimony which they held. The verse that follows the opening text reads; "And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?" (Revelation 6:10).

The first thing that this verse reveals is that the souls of the dead are conscious. This is why they cried even though they were physically dead. This refutes the claim by some religious sects that the dead are not conscious. Death is not a cessation of existence. It's just a transition to the spirit world which is much more real than the physical world. While some of the souls of the dead go to hell after dead, the souls of those who are saved goes to heaven.

The second thing revealed by the verse above is that vengeance belongs to God. This is why they cried to God to take vengeance on those who slayed them. The wicked will never go unpunished. There are Christians who have been gruesomely murdered in the past and many more are being killed on a daily basis even in this part of the world. But God has set a day aside to take vengeance against this wicked and unreasonable people. But these souls were running out of patience. Thus, they asked; When will God take vengeance on them?

"... And it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled." (Revelation 6:11).

The killings will continue even after the rapture of the church which will take place during the period the fourth horse will ride. And we are already in that era. The raptured Saints are actually the four living creatures revealed in the fourth chapter of the book of Revelation. Those who missed the rapture will go through a great tribulation period where they will be killed. And after they are killed, God will begin to take vengeance against the killers as will be revealed in the course of this study.

So, serve God in such a manner that you will not miss rapture when the last trumpet blows. Be diligent in church service attendance and the responsibility committed to your trust. Walk in love towards the brethren. Help the needy around you. Above all, preach Christ to lost souls and keep your garment clean. The rapture of the church is imminent. May you be found worthy to be caught up on that day together with other faithful saints.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, be thou exalted above the all heavens and let your glory be over all the earth. I thank you for revealing the mystery of your plans to us. I receive fresh grace to serve you in reverence and fear. Preserve my spirit, soul and body blameless unto the coming of my Lord Jesus in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
