Isiah 43:11
I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior.

Ok, so why that verse?

kmcutez:
I, I am Yahweh, and there is no other Savior but Me.

So, where is this written?

kmcutez:
Both old and new convenant were for the house of Israel and Judah.

Look, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. 9 “It will not be like the covenant that I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I had no regard for them, says the Lord. 10 “For this is the covenant that I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and I will inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God and they will be my people. 11 “And there will be no need at all for each one to teach his countryman or each one to teach his brother saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ since they will all know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 “For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds, and their sins I will remember no longer.

Well, your conclusion is partially right. Jesus Christ did come for the lost sheep of israel....that was His mission before His death and He did make this clear to His people too.

That mission ended when He died on the cross though.

Hiny Umoren met her untimely death under the most gruesome circumstances. Her dreams died at the hands of ruthless evil men. Till today not a word from the so called men of God, oyedepo, enenche, ibiyeomi et al. They could have at least lent their voice so that i would be more difficult for the evil men in league with the security forces to bury their complicity in the murder of the innocent, and others like her , buried in shallow graves. Dare Adeboye died , in his sleep, maybe too early, but we all would like to die peacefully in our sleep, not battered and raped to death. And the whole political and religious space is filled with obsequies. Oyedepo et all are falling over themselves to usher the late kid of the superstar pastor into heaven with prayers and tears and song. Hiny, my heart bleeds for you, for the kind of world you came into, the good die young? I pray God, for surely there must be a true God somewhere, rest your beautiful soul. We don't need the tyranny of evil men to acknowledge , we don't want their prayers of words to stain your journey to eternity, but with our deepest feelings and regards, rest in perfection Hiny, for truly God loves you more.

1. What makes you believe what your Mogs do have anything to do with God or the things of God?

I recall Jesus Christ saying something like, "... let the dead bury their dead" to one of those who wished to follow Him, making it clear that what we do as far the dead are concerned have nothing to do with His Kingdom.

kmcutez:
Just some passages

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

68“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
because He has visited and redeemed His people.
69He has raised up a horn of salvation for us
in the house of His servant David,
70as He spoke through His holy prophets,
those of ages past,
71salvation from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us,
72to show mercy to our fathers
and to remember His holy covenant,
73the oath He swore to our father Abraham,
to grant us 74deliverance from hostile hands,
that we may serve Him without fear,
75in holiness and righteousness before Him
all the days of our lives.

I now see what you have been attempting to say, and that is that the word "world" in that case, refers to the lost sheep of Israel?

kmcutez:
The key word is “World”.

You read that entire passage, John 3 vs 1-21, and the take away is the key word is the "world"?

Dafemich:
Make me understand. But I know, everlasting life is the life of heaven. Read John 5:24

Even those in Hell have eternal/everlasting life!

Certainly, this born again doctrine uphold by most Christians today is one of the them.
there was no salvation at the time Jesus met Nicodemus, salvation only started after Jesus resurrected, then how come the term born again or born of the spirit used by Jesus now translate to salvation, that one most be born again for him to be saved, don't you see that there is no correlation between born again and the salvation Jesus established at the time of death and resurrection?

Obviously, the term born again actually meant something else
this is the only thing that is required to be saved, not born again.
Born again is something else entirely.
true!
A change of heart was required to be born again, a change of heart is not required to be saved. Rather, what is tequired is faith.

Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

You don't need the law to be saved.
If born again was a law then it is not required.
you are mixing up everything, you will never understand it that way

Separate the time of Nicodemus and John the Baptist from the time after Jesus crucifixion and resurrection, that is when salvation begins

I am afraid you are confused by the doctrines and tradition of men still in this

1. Jesus Christ preached salvation to Nicodemus there in John 3 vs 16-21, when He, Jesus Christ declared that only those who believe can be saved.I.e. receive Salvation from the condemnation of sin, which is Death.

2. The relationship between Salvation and being born-again exists only in the fact that according to Jesus Christ in John 3 vs 1 through 21, both are required in order to gain entry into the Kingdom of God.
As I said, according to Jesus Christ in John 3 vs 1 -21 , 2 things must take place in order for a one to gain access to His Kingdom, the Kingdom of God ...

* Must be born-again (born of water and born of Spirit)
* Must experience Salvation (believe and obtain eternal life) where Salvation implies the saving from the condemnation of sin(Death) discussed in John 3 vs 16 -18, the result of which is eternal life(grace).

3. Justification is not Salvation. The righteous are the just... a one who is saved is simply just one who has gained access to the Kingdom of God. In that same Kingdom are demons and devils...and the two domains Heaven and Hell for an end for those who are in the Kingdom of God.

4. Faith, as far as the Kingdom of God, refers to acts of obedience done in submission to the commandments of God. What this means is that the changing of one's heart and life in submission to the process of becoming born-again is itself an act born of Faith. So it is not the case that Salvation alone is of Faith - to become born-again, one has to submit in obedience to God's command, hence it is also of Faith.

God is honored by our submission and obedience to His commandments hence the reason why He is honored by our Faith.

paxonel:
the point the op is raising as condition for salvation are not any steps.
Rather, the op mentioned born again as the condition for salvation which includes to repent from sin. And I'm saying repentance isn't any requirement for salvation, so what are you talking?

A major problem with doctrines and traditions of men is they create confusion of terms where there really ought not to be any. According to Jesus Christ, 2 things must take place ...

* Must be born-again (born of water and born of Spirit)
* Must experience Salvation (believe and obtain eternal life)

The one not dependent on the other according to John 3 vs 1-21

According to John the Baptist, in Matthew 3 vs 11, a change of heart is required to be born of water. Jesus Christ also said in John 3 vs 18, that those who believe in Jesus Christ are those no longer judged guilty, I.e. condemned to death.

What the above referenced verses suggest is that without a change of heart, salvation is indeed impossible. You can read the rest of the conversation John the Baptist had with the Pharisees in Matthew 3 vs 7 through 10 where he, John, explained to them without a change of heart and of life, there is no repentance and hence no salvation.

Incrizz:
Pray pray pray...!
Pray in CHRIST JESUS...
Pray in THE HOLY GHOST...
Get up and pray...
Pray pray pray..........

There is no"pray in the holy ghost"..... no one can control God's Spirit as to make Him do what He does not first decree to doing.

paxonel:
Born again is salvation with condition.
In born again(human doctrine), you are required to repent otherwise you are not saved, but in Christ that is far from the case.

In Christ, you are required to believe that's all an nothing more, that is unconditional love.

John 3:16 ..whosever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.

The bottom-line is, that person who was born a Christian from a Christian family was made to believe from childhood by his family background, that is salvation, God does not require anything else.

That is not true. If you pay close attention to the entire conversation Jesus Christ had with Nicodemus, you will find the details of the process required for entering into the Kingdom of God is as follows....(in no particular order)

* Believe Jesus Christ is who He says He is
* Be born of water (a step in being be born-again)
* Be saved(obtain eternal life and this through the eating of Jesus Christ's body and drinking of His blood explained in John 10)
* Be born of the Spirit (Spirit not to be confused here with the Spirit of God)

Jesus Christ made it clear that only those who complete all the steps are able to enter into the Kingdom of God. Clearly this is a conditioned process, is it not?

Glance:
Pastor Chris answer question believer ask whether suicide is a sin

And this is the Gospel of the Kingdom of God that Jesus Christ sent out all of His followers to teach in His name?

snth:
So there’s this perennial question, if God exists why does he allow so much evil to occur, why did that child have to die etc…, to answer this question, that brings us back to the nature of Human, Firstly, no human was born through its own volition, even with modern day science all conception is an act of God (ask those who have all the money in the world and cant birth a child), secondly as mentioned the Human itself is the Soul, and the Soul is not defined by time i.e. the body may be incapacitated (in a coma) but the person would still be alive, so note the body is made from physical material hence it can not stay forever it has a stamped expiry date just like the food we eat (its not a perpetual motion machine). So this brings me back to the question, as Humans because we are first embraced by our physical form we tend to forget who we really are, we are Spirit encompassed within a body just like the Butterfly, physical death is a release/transformation to our true everlasting form, if you can grasp this, then you would understand in the overview of things affects only the individual that performs this act, as he/she will be judged accordingly, on a time scale, life on earth is negligible, sort of like comparing one naira to a trillion dollars, spending one naira out of a trillion dollars is negligible, so when “evil” appears to win on earth and nothing is being done about it, just realize that such an event tends to quicken the individual for physical release into the human true form, i.e. His/her soul. As such on a grand scale, there’s no loss rather the evil individual will be judged for eternity for his actions on earth.

P.s
I recently lost a dear friend at the age of 25, she was the gentlest of souls. God knows best, It is well. Jesus said why fear those that can kill the body and not the spirit, rather fear Him that can kill both the body and soul (Matt 10:28)

1. Jesus Christ did not come so we can continue to live as though we are too good to die abeg! Every human being is scheduled to die, and this beginning from the very point of conception.

2. You said you recently lost a loved one whom you claim was the gentlest of souls... are you saying that she was better than the many other thousands who died on that same day in other parts of the world? We need to stop being myopic even where death is concerned so we can start to see it for what it is... a previously scheduled(schedule unknown) part of existence for us all.

3. Good people die in the midst of evil? Are you in some way suggesting that it is bad people that deserve to die in the midst of evil ?
Death is inevitable.. what matters is not whether you perceive those who have gone before you as good or not...your perceptions matters for nothing where God and the things of God are concerned.

DondyDesign:
To be a born again is to repent from doing anything you know its not good and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior.

According to Jesus Christ in John 3 vs 1 -21, to be born-again specifically means to be born of water(see Ezekiel 36 vs 25) and born of the Spirit( see Ezekial 36 vs 26).

Also, since Jesus Christ never in fact states that the Spirit in question is God's, those born of the Spirit are not to be assumed born of the Spirit of God Himself.

topshore:
Scripture Text: John3:3

Many people have misconceptions about being born again. Most people believe that once they just confess that Jesus is Lord they are truly born again.

Yes! Confessing Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and believing in God who sent Him is a prerequisite to new birth. However, being born again transcends this to a deeper life in Christ.

People who have accepted Jesus as their Saviour and Redeemer are called born again. They have realised they are sinners and that penalty of sin is death (Romans 3:23, 6:23).
Sin had condemned the world and God in His mercy sent His only Son to die in our place to take punishment for our sins (Romans 5: Jesus died, rose from the dead and became the only Way we reconciled to God (John 14:6) and He provides the gift of salvation. Accepting this gift of salvation through faith means we have experience a new birth and the journey of Christianity begins (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:1-

Alas! The journey just began. To keep the faith going, we must be truly born again. Being born again means having a transformation and renewal of heart and soul.

As human beings, we have three integral parts of the soul: the mind, our emotions, and our will.

1. The mind is where we have imaginations, thinking , consciousness, perception, intelligence, judgement, language and memory. When we get born again, our mind is no longer our own but we submit it to becomes the mind of God through the Holy Spirit (Romans 12:2; 1 Corinthians 2:16). The renewal of our minds make us have intimate relationship with God and overtime makes us grow to spending more time in His presence and in His Word. His Spirit helps us understand who God is and what His ways are though we cannot fully comprehend Him.
2. Our emotions is the state of our feelings: happiness, joyful, sadness,fear, courageous,anger, patience,etc. When we are born again, our emotions transforms from the negative such as bitterness, anger, slander, etc(Ephesians 4:9) to postive such love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness,self control,etc(Galatians 5:22-23) which is also the manifestation of the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.
3.The will is the part of our mind that selects the moments of our decisions and desires. The will is what triggers the choice of our desires, actions and inactions. When we get born again, our will disappear and we totally submit to God's Will. The Will of God gives us confidence in approaching Him and that He hears us(1 John 5:14). Only those who do the Will of the Father will enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Mathew 7:21)

Brethren, this is another opportunity for us to submit our all in all to Jesus and to truly prove ourselves worthy as one who is truly born again. Tomorrow may be too late. Submit totally to the Will of the Father, and His Kingdom is sure.

Prayer:
1. O Lord my Father, take my will and let it be yours, in the name of Jesus.
2. Holy Spirit help me to become a true child of God in the name of Jesus.
3. I shall not serve the Lord in vain, I shall not be a cast away in the Kingdom of God, by the power in the Blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, amen.

Peace!

I am afraid that as explained by Jesus Christ being born of the Spirit(a process of being born-again) has little to do with the Holy Spirit. If you read John 3 vs 1 -21, you will note that Jesus Christ never in fact mentions the Spirit in question is God's own Spirit. He instead speaks of a rebirth of a Spiritual kind, confirming God's statement regarding His New Agreement people in Ezekiel 36 vs 26, where He declares that He will give them a new Spirit( again not His Spirit).

Of course we understand that being born of water(yet another born-again process) has to do with what is written of in Ezekiel 36 vs 25.

Our nation can be saved

Tue, 11 May 2021

‘I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.’ 2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV

Winston Churchill often repeated the famous saying, ‘Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.’ Take a look at society today; the conditions that preceded the fall of many great civilisations are in place. You ask, ‘Can our nation be saved?’ Yes! God told Abraham if he could find as few as ten righteous people in the city, He would spare Sodom and Gomorrah from judgment. And a righteous minority can still save our nation. How? Through prayer!

God said: ‘If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.’ Notice four important conditions mentioned in this Scripture:

(1) ‘If My people, who are called by My name.’ The future of our nation doesn’t rest in the hands of bankers, talking heads on TV, or politicians; it rests squarely in the hands of God’s redeemed people.

(2) ‘Will humble themselves and pray and seek My face.’ God, who needs nobody’s authorisation or approval to act, promises to move when His people turn to Him and seek His face in prayer.

(3) ‘And turn from their wicked ways.’ Instead of complaining about what’s wrong with society, God commands His people to examine their own hearts to see what’s wrong and make it right. And when they do, He promises to:

(4) ‘Hear from Heaven… forgive their sin and… heal their land.’ The truth is, it’s up to us, not them! It’s not too late. Our nation can still be turned around if we’ll pray and seek God with all our hearts.

1. Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, is a Covenant that exists between God and Individuals - not groups, peoples, churches, or even Nations- so I hope you are not here suggesting your nation can be saved by Jesus Christ.

2. Apart from the Old Covenant Law(YHWH) provided for the saving of the people and nation of Israel, God had provided no other ways for a group, peoples or nations to be saved.

Raising the dead is a special miracle by the gift of working of miracles by the Holy Spirit.

It's God who ultimately decides when this miracle happens not we.

Special miracle ke?

Jesus Christ said, these signs shall follow those who believe(note, He did not say only those who have the gift of working of miracles by the Holy Spirit)... they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover ... they shall raise the dead, speak in new tongues.....".

God has always been ultimate decision maker as far as every event in this life. That wasn't an issue when Jesus Christ and His disciples went around doing good works on this earth, but now it is an impediment where your Mogs are concerned?

There are no souls in Heaven and in Hell, not until after I return and judge the works of each man --- Jesus Christ.

Start by teling us exactly where it is that Jesus Christ made it clear that all miracles would cease?

Incrizz:
It is not a 12-5am curfew, nor a 12am to 6am curfew, nor a dusk till dawn curfew else I would have blamed it on Zombie invasion.

You will do well to pray in YOUR HOUSES at any duration that falls in this time frame 12am-4am praying in The Holy Ghost.
No, this is not the only time frame to pray but it is an important time frame to pray.

Pray without ceasing, for this is the will of GOD concerning you in CHRIST JESUS.

"Pray without ceasing" simply means continue to ask until you receive what you asked for. It does not imply you pray every moment of every day...even Jesus Christ did not do that. And the Lord's prayer which He recommended need only be said once a day even.

The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent ones take it by force means Satan and his demons are violently battling children of God to hinder them from fulfilling their destinies . Just like they did to John the Baptist by cutting short his life.
To be violent means to be determined to make heaven at all cost and be prayerful.
Ephesians 6:12 says our fight is against PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS AND SPIRITUAL WICKED POWER IN THE SECOND HEAVEN.
Why did the Bible tell us that we wrestle if this world is not a battle field ?

Why did the Bible mention arrows and darts ?

Ephesians 6:13-18 KJV
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. [14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; [15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: [18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Verse 18 says praying always.

1. The Kingdom of God consists of 2 domains - Heaven and Hell.

2. If you would read the Bible for yourself instead of letting others read their own meanings into it for you, you would note that Jesus Christ said nothing of the such you claim of the Kingdom of God in that passage.

3. Pay attention when you read through

a) the warning Jesus Christ gave spells out the period within which the statement He made applied... from the time that John the Bapstist showed up, up until the point where Jesus Christ Christ with the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. This suggests that after Jesus Christ came presenting His Truth to the world, the attempts to take the Kingdom of God by force ended.

Matthew 11 vs 7 - 16 (ERV)

---

7. When John’s followers left, Jesus began talking to the people about John. He said, “What did you people go out to the desert to see? Someone who is weak, like a stem of grass[a] blowing in the wind?
8. Really, what did you expect to see? Someone dressed in fine clothes? Of course not. People who wear fine clothes are all in kings’ palaces.
9. So what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, John is a prophet. But I tell you, he is more than that.
10. This Scripture was written about him:

‘Listen! I will send my messenger ahead of you.
He will prepare the way for you.’

11. “The truth is that John the Baptizer is greater than anyone who has ever come into this world. But even the least important person in God’s kingdom is greater than John.
12. Since the time John the Baptizer came until now, God’s kingdom has been going forward strongly.[b] And people have been trying to take control of it by force.
13. Before John came, the Law of Moses and all the prophets told about the things that would happen.
14. And if you believe what they said, then John is Elijah.[c] He is the one they said would come.
15. You people who hear me, listen!

16. “What can I say about the people who live today? What are they like? The people today are like children sitting in the marketplace. One group of children calls to the other group,

b) Clearly in verse 12, you are told that those who violently attempted to take the Kingdom of God by force where people ...false teachers/prophets, and the Pharisees and Sadducees of His time.

4. Learn to refuse every urge to inject your own delusions into what is written in scripture and only then will you realize that the imaginary enemies you fight have nothing to do with what you were called to do by Jesus Christ.

5. Where Paul suggested that you pray without ceasing,I believe he may have simply been repeating w Jesus Christ's message that you continue to ask until you get what you asked for, and not that you pray every moment of every day. Jesus Christ Himself did not do that. The Lord's prayer which He recommended to us works even when said just once daily.

I was under his ministration once when he came to Abuja at Central parish, it was after the Olamide saga where he said "leave trash for LAWMA". Pastor Dare made reference to the slang, I was so surprised he was attentive and kept up to date with pop culture.

It was an awesome ministration, I remember explaining the slang to my mum who sat beside me and didn't get why the youths in church were laughing and shouting.
It was the first and last time.
The journey to eternal life has begun for him.

you are surprised a 42-year old keeps up with pop culture?

Hmmm...I really don't know how to share this because I'm so scared. My pastor was a redeem pastor before God called her...
I met her and my life transformed positively. She won't even collect your money or gift.
I have to create another account to share this information;
She said God has been warning her to bring home the following;
*Fashola and his wife(former lagos state governor)
*Helen Paul (tatafo TV presenter)
*Basket Mouth (comedian)
*Falomo ( I don't know him)
*one Kayode ( I don't know)
*Osinbajo (vice president)
*Jonathan (not sure if it's the former president o)
* Then one Ibrahim

These are the ones I can pick from her message
She said anytime from now, anything can happen because she's so scared of her revelations. It means these souls must no go in vain. If you like say I'm joking or lying or say my pastor want to cash out, me I'm not broke and I don't need anyone's money pls.
Hear what the spirit says

You may not necessarily meet any pastor, perhaps they all just need to abandon whatever they're doing and continue with the gospel of Christ...seek salvation

You don't read your Bible.

Matthew 11:12 KJV
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Jesus overcame the world does not mean Satan will not contend with you.
You key yourself into that victory of Jesus by :
Accepting him as your saviour.
By being born again .
By living in righteousness
By reading your Bible and meditating it
By preaching the gospel
By having faith in the Lord
By being prayerful.

Ephesians 6:12 KJV
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The Apostle who wrote the scriptures above knew more than you and I . He told us '' we wrestle '' .

1. Jesus Christ only informed you, in Matthew 11, of the schemes of the Violent against His Kingdom. Jesus Christ never told you to fight against those violent - those who try to steal His Kingdom from Him - the false teachers and the prophets. Nor did He, Jesus Christ, encourage you to try to be like those violent in any way or form.

It is His, Jesus Christ's Kingdom after all, and He alone is well able to fight all His battles. Something He made clear to you when He declared that He had overcome the world for your sake.

2. When Satan asked to test Peter, what did Jesus Christ do? Jesus Christ did not attack Satan, nor did He rebuke Satan to keep Peter safe or whatever you lot think you can do where Satan is concerned. No, instead Jesus Christ prayed for Peter and then handed him, over, to be tested by Satan. Do you know what Jesus Christ then told Peter, He told Peter to help the others when they are tested in similar manner.

If you think that God is in these "battles" you all keep fighting in your minds, you are deceiving yourselves.

3. Key yourself into victory of Jesus Christ? Be sure that when Jesus Christ promised you suffering and tribulations, right before He announced that He had overcome the world on your behalf, He meant it too. As one who lives in Jesus Christ, be prepared to endure sufferings and tribulation but knowing that it is all for your good is what He said.

4. Where the Kingdom of God is concerned, obedience is the one and only key. You can pray till you are black and blue at the end of your day, but if you refuse to obey the other laws contained in the contract that is Jesus Christ, you are no better than the Pharisees where faith and righteousness is concerned.

Who told you Jesus Christ came so that you can engage in battles born of your delusions? The only tha exists is in your mind.... Jesus Christ alredy told you He has overcome the world on your behalf.... what He calls His followers to living is a life lived in complete surrender to Him, the one who has won the battle between the light and the dark.

There are no pharaohs or babylonians... for those who are of the Kingdom of God. You should have abandoned your Pharaoic delusions, and delusions of war, in the world where they belong.

Please, You need to be sure you belong in the Kingdom of God and are not still lost in this world ... cause those you live in the Kingdom if God live above the headlines and news of this world(tweets, FB craze, newstrends etc.). And you need to reorient your mind so you are sure who it is you serve. Jesus Christ or the delusions of this world...

I don't doubt... I don't believe but your story sweet me

That is how many are easily deceived with sweet lies. The man you just responded you declared by his proclamation there that Jesus Christ lied.
