This is just an encouragement for us all Christians and true believers in Christ, and to all those who are on the path to surrendering their soul to Christ, let us all remain steadfast and focused on the things which our Lord has prepared for us all. Lets remind ourselves that we are created to dominate this world, and live as Kings and Queens in God's kingdom. Don't settle for less, lets remain prayerful and seek the face of God and which direction he wants us to move in.

He Loves us, and he will take care of our every need only if we can put our trust in him. This is where I stand. God has smiled on me and saved me by his grace, and I will forever owe my life to him. God Bless You all.

LoudJaaaaaaaams, ah and you said all these for ground
it's not spoiled as I know before thinking it through you rashly posted the above
People commute by tube or train out of convenience etc
The £100K could have been part of the proceeds from selling her house

"sometimes people exagerate things, just like she did" yes and thats exactly what I thought of the original post
an exaggerated and embellished one-sided story

someone who give such a huge amount will not announce it on a public train..

llouis:
a pastor is another fancy name for a "shepherd", so, it is within his or her job description to take care of his or her sheep, nurture them and bring them up in the faith and admonition of our Lord.

a pastor should have and manifest at least 2 of the 9 manifestations of the gifts of the Ghost Of Holies (speaking in unknown tongues being one of them), thus allowing him to be used and directly manipulated by God to edify the body of Christ.

This aside, he has no power to decide my future; he can only provide counsel and prophecy by word of wisdom and word of knowledge (what some others call clairvoyance, ESP or precognition).

Now the future comes to us an hour at a time, with the gifts of the Spirit he may be able to see when I am to get married or who I am to marry but he cannot or rather should not decide when the event will happen. Our lives have already been lived; as already witnessed by the Eyes of He who sees all possible futures within all conceivable timelines (its just like watching a replay of your favourite match; you know how it will play out and who will score, but the players in the match {at that moment} do not know), and when it is time for my marriage or wedding to manifest, prophecy will be given or revelation, so we can prepare ahead of time. This is why we are encouraged to earnestly covet spiritual gifts so with the influence of YHVH (YAHWEH) we can under His influence project our consciousness forward into time so we can see what happens (before it does or as it should)...

So, my pastor cannot decide for me the chronologically estimated future-history of my wedding that has already been written before time (the interruption of eternity) began. Spiritual technicality tells me he lacks the authority and ability to do so. If he can see the actual time, month, year or date and tell me, fine, but, he cannot just choose a random date for me absent divine instruction and revelation because he is my spiritual father.

But should you choose to allow him do so, I guess there is no problem as long as you are also aware and sensitive to the leading of the Spirit (so you can know if he didn't see it well) or if you are not sensitive, you are prepared for the challenges that would germinate from allowing someone else decide a future for you that should be his or your responsibility to spiritually discern. For me I'd rather see things accurately before they happen, as I don't do damage control.

A lot of us are spiritually deaf and blind (due to our own choice) so we would rather have someone who we regard as a "man of God" "see" our futures and plan our lives for us. Just remember you can always and easily discern your future and God's plan for your life as he or she would have, if you are ready to seek God out. Sometimes we may not see it clearly or accurately, but I believe if we blind ourselves to presumptuous sin and distractions we can hear the very will of God and see our destiny through Heaven's eyes.

SELAH!


For those who find my post too religious or spiritual, please bear with me; I am a christian by default (it means if you shut me down and restart me my default settings would always revert to me walking in the consciousness of the supernatural and the prophetic), so, feel free to bash my head over with your religious (or not) school of thought as well; I love headaches that stem from my mind trying to expand beyond its current level of enlightened elasticity.

Arigatou gozarimas! (Thanks a bunch!)

thanks for your comments,...

I'm in that boat at the moment....

This is for guys...

Hi op am afraid but the woman sounds like she knows what she is talking about.

How come you didn't share with us what you said to her that shut her up?

You got up to rebuke the spirit in her and she kept quiet. And then you pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Kikikiki you know what a sane Christian will do? open the scriptures and prove this woman wrong. That is if she is wrong.

If i was in her shoes i'll do the same thing. I'll shut up. Not because you charged me too but because i wouldn't want to waste my time on someone who has thrown common sense and tact on how to handle doctrinal disparities.

Am amazed you even likened her outburst to someone possessed by some evil spirit. Really? how is a person who has been robbed by people she trusted as oracles of God suppose to react when she sees other gullible folks toeing the same path? isn't that a cry of some one who cares?

And the tithe. Common! slaves of the law and seekers of acceptance before God based on merit, are you not aware that we are not under a levitical priesthood or the law but under grace? does the Scripture teach Christians tithe or giving freely as purposed in our hearts?

SMH look how far we've deviated from the truth.

Even if I shut her up, didn't Jesus Shut the pharisees up majority of the times?? how can you negotiate with someone who is out to destroy the faith of another believer

I read the original post I was thinking to myself we only know one side of this embellished story,
I then continued reading the subsequent posts
but the above post captured, completely, my internal monologue on the original post and the poster

Pity about the "white lady" that got a raw deal on her donated £100K to a church, pity she got burned and pity she got scammed

from the look of things, I would question her claim, because if she did really donate £100k, why is she boarding on the train with me? she should be driving a Porsche Jeep or so.... sometimes people exagerate things, just like she did.

Idrismusty97:
Great! Keep up the good work. That was how jihadists started beheading anyone who speaks against Allah. How did you challenged the so called spirit speaking through her BTW?

While she was voicing out her negative opinions, my spirit sensed that her mission was to douse the faith of the young guy on the phone, in order for the guy to give up on God. If I had let her continue perhaps I would have had my faith tainted also. I knew straightaway that I had to shut her down. She couldnt say anything to me rather the first 2 questions she asked was;

> are yu born again?
> do you pay tithe...?

Guys we have to remain bold and defend our belief without compromise... If you truely Know who God is, alot of these people can never fool you.

hey guys, I just thought of reactivating my nairaland account to share this story.

Last sunday I got on a train in London and halfway through the journey I heard a guy on the phone telling his friend how God delivered him during his dark times and how he learnt so many lessons from life. The guy looked really rough but happy. The conversation was loud and everyone around could hear his testimony. All of a sudden, I just heard a white lady screaming at the top of her voices saying "I hate going to church, the pastors are thieves, they took all my money away bla bla bla".

She also spoke against tithe, but then I had to discern what her goal really was and which spirit was speaking through her. The next minute she claimed "she donated £100k to a church and the pastor told her she is possessed with demons".. When I realised her aim was to discredit the testimony of the young man on the phone and make the church look bad in the eyes of others, that was when I stood up on my feet and challenged the spirit speaking through her. That was when she now kept quiet.

The first question she asked me was "are you born again??" "Do you pay tithes"?? I was really astonished though....

Funny enough there were other Christians who sat down quietly listening to the negative comments she was uttering. After shutting her down, she kept quiet muttering to herself saying;
"oh he thinks he is a Big Man, standing up to me"...

I left the train at the next stop feeling encouraged. And I will like to encourage my fellow christians not to fall for these type of people. Rather let us be bold and courageous, in the face of evil.
