#"YouDoWhatYouAre"


*[[Joh 10:32]] KJV* Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
*[[Joh 10:33]] KJV* The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
*[[Joh 10:34]] KJV* Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

1. God is a Consuming Fire.
2. Fire destroys most materials like wood, paper, fabric, etc.
3. Fire doesn't destroy gold. Fire purifies gold.
4. True believers are like gold. They don't need money (mammon) to make them VALUEable.
5. True believers see gold as something they can walk on like streets (i.e. true dominion).
6. Mammon worshipping 'believers' would probably start mining the streets of gold if they get into heaven.
7. Judas Iscariot chose mammon and had an undesirable end.

• RED:
1. Is in connection with the planet Mars.
2. Mars is also known as the 'red' planet.
3. Mars is in connection with Ares the Greek god of war.
4. So the "red pill" is for those who choose war.

• BLUE:
1. Is in connection with the planet Venus.
2. Venus is also known as the 'blue' planet/star.
3. Venus is in connection with Aphrodite the Greek goddess of love.
4. So the "blue pill" is for those who choose love.

Now you know why Neo didn't survive the "real world" (which should more appropriately be called "war world". Because even though he chose the "red pill" (war), he actually ended up falling in 'love' (blue pill) with Trinity. Hence Neo and Trinity's demise in the "real world" (war world).

So I guess the moral of the story is that guys (like Thomas Anderson/Neo) and gals (like Trinity) who get to a "certain age" and are not yet 'hitched', either choose to become A SOLDIER (red pill), or A COUPLE (blue pill).

• KING (The desire to be in charge)

*[[Eph 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.

Bilyonaire:
What do you mean by "power preacher"?

Those whose core message and ministration border on themes like 'Power pass power', 'spiritual warfare', 'the believer's authority', etc. (Corinthians 10:3-8; Ephesians 6:10-13)

It appears that whatever was lacking/deficient in the life of the pastor/minister is what forms the basis of their core/central/main message i.e. Mess to Message.

EXAMPLES OF MESS TO MESSAGE:
1. Poor man Before Christ eventually becoming a 'prosperity preacher'

2. Sinful living person Before Christ eventually becoming a 'holiness preacher'

3. A failing individual Before Christ eventually becoming a 'success preacher'

4. A financially imprudent person Before Christ eventually becoming a 'financial wisdom preacher'

5. A notorious criminal Before Christ eventually becoming a 'grace preacher'

6. An ignorant person Before Christ eventually becoming an 'agent of light/knowledge sharing'

7. A weak person Before Christ eventually becoming a 'power preacher'

8. A sick person Before Christ eventually becoming a 'healing by faith preacher'

9. A natural/mental person Before Christ eventually becoming a 'spiritual/Holy Spirit preacher'

10. A short tempered and vengeful person Before Christ eventually becoming a 'preacher of love and patience'

#JokeOrHiddenCode
#WhatAreYourIssue'sNames

In today's world, there is a strong tendency for the believer to be conformed to this world. The bible clearly states that the believer should not be conformed to this world (Romans 12:2). The scripture states that we as believers should set our minds on things that are above and not things that are of this world (Colossians 3:2)

However, what we have today is not just the propagation of the much talked about 'prosperity gospel' but proclamation of an 'economic Jesus'. A Jesus that will save you from poverty to prosperity. Though there is nothing wrong with being economically and financially blessed by God as He may add (Matthew 6:33), the focus, motivation and desire of the gospel of the kingdom of God, should be about how Jesus Christ as saviour and Lord, is to deliver us from this perishing world and the devastation of the apocalyptic travails that are to come (and may have already come).

In Psychology, there is a concept called 'conformity'. It usually involves 'test subjects' that are seated in a certain arrangement. All the participants, except one, are told to intentionally say the wrong answer. The single one test subject among the participants is usually seated close to the end to allow him/her to hear the answers of the previous ones. Then when the turn of the test subject comes, it becomes a case of either 'calling it as it is' or 'calling it as the previous majority did'.

Bringing the above analogy home, today, the vast majority of believers perceive the gospel of Jesus Christ as if we're still in the old testament saying things like:
"If you are saved you should be rich.";
"If you are suffering, you are a sinner.";
"Abraham's blessings are mine."
Yes, Abraham's blessings are ours, but in the new testament, it's not entirely about economic wellbeing and financial prosperity. In reality, Jesus said it's about:
* taking up our cross;
* suffering for the advancement of the kingdom of God;
* setting our minds, hearts and desires for things above.

Unfortunately, today it's about:
* "How much do you have in your bank account?"
* "What car do you drive?"
* "Where do you live?"
* "Are you still a tenant?"
Wake up, people! Don't just read the new testament. Get the 'spirit' of the new testament.

1. GREEK (Greece): The originals. Those that have the 'grease'/oil/anointing to CREAT[E]ively bring something new into existence (e.g. Chronos, Zeus, Poseidon)

2. ROMAN ("when in Rome..."/do as they do): The copycats. Those that innovatively reproduce a new thing based on an already existing thing (e.g. Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune)

3. NORSE (Nurse?): The healers. Those that use their insufficiency to operate (e.g. Odin's one eye, Thor's hammer, Loki's mischief)

4. EGYPT (Ijipt/"John Bull my son...you don't know how to spell your name": The 'John Bulls'. Those that switch father roles with son roles and vice versa (e.g. Ra the 'sun' god as father vis-à-vis Apollo the 'sun' god as son, Joseph vice-pharoah over Jacob, Joseph saviour of baby Jesus the saviour)

I resigned from my last paid full-time job as a Consultant in August 2009 believing that God would provide another job for me as He had done before. However, days and weeks passed and no job. Months passed and still no job. I remember listening to a message by Joel Osteen referring to Job's trial to have lasted for a period of about nine (9) months. So I was encouraged that the 'storm' would soon be over after about nine (9) months.

However, to my utmost surprise, the nine (9) months turned to nine (9) years and still no job. I had literally applied for hundreds of job vacancies and attended dozens of interviews but still no acceptable job. My response to prayers of faith for a good job had progressed from "AMEN!" to "Amen oooo" to no answer at all because all the prayers seemed to not be working.

After reading the book 'How You Can Be Led By The Holy Spirit' by the late Kenneth E. Hagin, I started to realise that God wanted me to realise that I've been down that 'Consultant road' before and that God knows that's not where I want to be. It had taken me nine (9) years to realise this.

Fortunately, an opportunity showed up in the area of Missions where I also have 'unpaid' experience. And now I will be resuming paid employment in January 2019 after almost 10 years of unemployment.

Is the sun in this painting rising or setting? Give reasons for your answer.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. Nice one OLAADEGBU.

I only wish people using their tablets and phones in church as a bible or notepad, learn to put their devices on 'Flight Mode'. This will block the phone calls and Whatsapp messages that usually distract people in the house of God.

Shakespeare is commonly quoted as to saying "What's in a name? A rose by any other name will smell as sweet." However, scripturally, the above saying is not true. It is clear from the bible that there is a great deal of importance attached with the name one bears:
• Adam (First Man)
• Eve (Mother of all living)
• Noah (Rest)
• Abram to Abraham (Father of a multitude)
• Jacob to Israel (Prince with God)
• David (Beloved)
• Jesus (Salvation of Jehovah)

Is it a coincidence that all the countries with 'United' in their name are a force to reckon globally?:
• 'United' States of America (USA)
• 'United' Kingdom (UK)
• 'United' Arab Emirates (UAE)

The truth is, it is not a coincidence. They understand the biblical principle of 'unity':
"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." (Genesis 11:6)

So perhaps it's time for the 'Federal Republic of Nigeria' to become the 'United States of Nigeria'.

The truth is, God is like Mr. Miyagi in the original Karate Kid movie. He starts by doing things that seem completely unrelated to the desired outcome. "Wax on, wax off", paint up, paint down, etc. But in due time, He shows you how all what you've been doing/experiencing has being the actual preparation/outcome that you desired. Apostle Paul put it this way in the bible:

*[[2Co 4:16]] KJV* For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
*[[2Co 4:17]] KJV* For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
*[[2Co 4:18]] KJV* While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

In the book of Exodus, Moses had gone up to the mountain of God to receive the commandments. While he (Moses) tarried there, the people at the camp got Aaron (Moses' brother) to make a golden calf for them to worship. To them (i.e. the people), they were showing their appreciation to the God who brought them out of Egypt. However, they didn't realise that they had slipped into idolatry (idol worship). They were no longer worshipping the true God, but were now worshipping a god of gold. It was until the return of Moses before they realized their error. At that point, Aaron said the people made him do it. Unfortunately, there were devastating consequences that led to the people being separated into those who were with Moses or not.

The above situation is true of our current state as the people of God. Just as Moses tarried on the mountain of God, so also does the return of Jesus Christ tarry. And while Jesus tarries, the people of God have unknowingly slipped into idolatry. Nowadays, the people of God are worshipping a god of gold just as the Israelites started worshipping the golden calf. The primary motive of 'worshipping God' nowadays is for what God can give me: money, cars, houses, job, promotion, fruit of the womb, spouse, admission, visa, etc. These are all 'golden calves'. Jesus said you cannot worship God and Mammon. Mammon in this case being the golden calf.

The truth is, one day Jesus Christ will return from heaven just as Moses returned from the mountain of God. On that day, the pastors and priests will say the people made me do it just as Aaron said. Aaron represents the priesthood. The people were the ones who 'demanded' for a god of gold. After all, the pews would be empty if the pastors and priests didn't 'supply' a god of gold. But then, Jesus Christ will cause there to be a separation between those who are for Him and those who are not.

Nice one Son of Issachar. Your post is quite edifying.

Is it a coincidence that "SUN" and "SON" are pronounced exactly the same. Perhaps God has a hidden code in His creation of our solar system.

Just as the planets revolve around the SUN, so also God's kingdom 'revolves' around His SON.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork." (Psalm 19:1)

"And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:" (Genesis 3:22)

QUESTION 1:
If it is eating of the tree of life that makes one live forever, doesn't that mean that Adam and Eve were eventually going to die even if they hadn't eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

QUESTION 2:
Why did God say "...THE MAN HAS BECOME AS ONE OF US..."? Why didn't God say "...THE MAN HAS DIED..."? Doesn't that mean the serpent was the one telling the truth in Genesis 3:5?

JOB: something performed by an employee in an exchange for pay. Also the name of a character in the bible.

Although they are pronounced differently, I find it interesting that they are the same word.

Have you spent weeks, months (and even years) searching for a JOB, it may be that God is testing you just like JOB in the bible.

The good news is that just as the suffering of JOB ended, so also shall your JOB search end...and it might just be double like JOB.



*[[Job 42:10]] KJV* And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

In Genesis chapter 2, the Bible says that God said that it is not good that man be alone. So God made a woman with the rib He took out of Adam.

My question is, what happened to the female God created in Genesis chapter 1?

*[[Gen 1:27]] KJV* So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and FEMALE created he them.
