Jesus said: "Look, I am sending you forth as lambs in among wolves (Lu 10:3, Mt 10:11-28). May God open your eyes and your sense instead of blaming the innocent and hailing the guilty. As for those who were attacked, I say take heart for your reward is great in heaven. Bible has said: "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. However, how will they call on him in whom they have not put faith? How in turn will they put faith in him of whom they have not heard? How in turn will they hear without someone to preach?.....as it is written, , 'how beautiful are the feet of those who declare the gospel...'" (Rom 10:13-15)

Why can't they go to Boko den?

see you are already confused by stating falsley that witnesses preach that 144,000 will inherit the earth.the bible reveals clear that 144,000 will be brought frm every tribe and tongue frm the earth to serve as priest and kings to God and will rule with christ in heaven.(Rev 5:9,10).

But only from your religion you teach. Have you quickly forgotten the falsa prophecy of Russel your found in 1972 that the world will come to an end, etc?

Mr. Man I doubt if you know what "evangelism" entails. What happened, even though unfortunate shows that the Witnesses are following the footsteps of the early Christians and Jesus disciples who suffered harsher treatment (Act 4:18-30, Act 5:27-42, 2Cor 11:23-27). Stephen was stoned to death, James was beheaded as was John The baptist. Even their Master Jesus was executed like a common criminal. So if a few Christians have their dresses torn for the sake of the gospel, it is a very small prize to pay (2Cor 4:3-6). For your information, God's will is that ALL SORTS OF MEN and WOMEN should be saved and come to accurate knowledge (1Tim 2:3,4). Even in the time of Jesus, prostitutes have been known to change. No one is beyond God's mercy no matter how grievious their sins may seem to be.

Jesus' prayer in behalf of his tormentors before his execution is apt: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

These meant nothing to God if you don't have love and obey God in the spirit and in the truth.

Unfounded lies, they are one of the best christians Ive come across. Ive grown and lived among them

Literally? Spiritually in God's standard? Hypocrites

. 144,000 to inherit d earth? Obviously u put ur attention away while d bible is being read & xplaind by d witnesses. Jesus is God? Pls who sent Jesus to d earth to surrender his life 4 me nd u and to whom does he direct his prayer(cos a God couldnt be addressing another in prayer wit his needs nor could he be praying to self)? Can God die, if so who was in charge of d physical creations(heaven & earth) while interned? If Jesus is almighty what is his father?

Read Heb.1: 8 and Rev. 1:8, Isaiah 9:6 Who is being addressing here? Which God is, was and to come? Jesus is the same in the old and in the new Testament, its a mystery which you can't understand with your little mind and blind eyes. You talk about Jesus but you don't love Him nor pray to or through Him. He has all power, name above ALL names. What did you understand here?

please don't say things you have little knowledge about. if you have a problem with our belief, that is okay but you don't have to spread wicked lies about Jehovah's people.

What a wicked lies? They live on my street and God know I say the truth. But are you among the 144,000 and have you marked some buildings to inherit, you know you will inherit the world

Wetin you dey yarn...is it not the same bible you privileged slaves are beating your chest upon. You say Jesus is god. That means to say your god chop koboko in human form. They say he is mighty because its not easy to carry cross waka street half Unclad on top koboko. You dey vex because dem downgrade your god, Inside Hebrew stories.

You dey vex say Dem no give you job. You think say e easy to run business come hire bad belle like you..

Besides Holy Spirit is the same thing as konji in this situation, you hear as the ashi rush the guy cassava...the thing day body.....where prick and toto meet... Holy Spirit is there.

What language do you speak and write? Triste. Well my God does not bomb anyone one with a shout Allahu arkbar

why come to a public forum to spread your ignorance. do you think you are the only only one familiar with them. Lots of us here have them as work mates, friends, class mates and neighbors. Just shut up if you don't know them. mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeew.,

You are one of them, but what I said is the truth, believe it or not, they are the only people that love Jehovah. But which language is Jehovah?

Jehovah Witness Preach the Jehovah they don't know or understand. How do they connect with one they don't know? They hate those who are not part of their cult group, they smoke, snuff, drink, etc. Tell me how they know this Jehovah. They can't employ you in their establishment if you are not a member. The only true authority are those Americans whom they claim Jehovah reveals the word and 144,000 that will inherit the earth. They believe over 90% of them don't qualify for heaven. Jesus is not God but a god, Jesus is not Almighty but mighty, etc and etc. If they have the Holy Spirit they would have not go to the lioness den.

[b]Ricky_Ross: The man of God has really underwent a lot of transformation. He used to look more like a juju priest back in the days. Now he dresses very smart and shaves his beard now unlike before. His grammar /use of English has improved in recent years as well

I like his philosophy- MORE UNTO OTHERS, LESS ON OURSELVES. I practice this and it has helped me a lot. The more you help others, the more you meet unmerited favors everywhere.

I know many people are going to call TB Joshua names. Alot of people say the miracles he perform on TV are fake? I used to think like that but I know many people that got healing at his church. Some had brain tumor, cancer etc, and since many years they got healed they are all living healthy, so those miracles are not fake. I also know some people who went to his church for healing and died, one was a high ranking police officer from Ikeduru.

A great number of Africans say he is using occultic powers bc he perform miracles that are impossible to an ordinary man, but let me ask, if you are a true Christian tell me what God cannot do? Whether he is a true man of God or not, I am not God so I dont know and my bible tells me not to judge. I worship at Salvation Ministries in Port Harcourt, owned by David Ibiyomie. Our daddy is loved by all, he is very educated and among the top most Intelligent pastors in 9ja, those in PHC can confirm this. But even at that, How do I know whether my pastor is using occultic powers or not? We are human beings and we normally judge from what we see on the outside.

Abeg TB Joshua IF actually using juju then it is a good juju. This juju that heals HIV/AIDS/CANCER and many incurable diseases. This juju that has given scholarship to thousands of Africans. This juju that is feeding thousands of people across the globe, abeg it is a good juju. It is better than the witches and wizards we have in high and low places across our villages in BLACK AFRICA, those ones that doesn't want us to move forward. On the last day we shall know where we stand. [/b]

God bless you, you are right

Pix just before he and his cohorts realized that the obvious BABALAWO STYLE will not work in 9ja. Just before they advised him to change his stylee and adopt a more charismatic one, shed the beards, wear bling bling suits and speak slowly like a drone, plus media snapshots of seemingly altruistic philantrophy grin grin grin Don't know why some peeps just won't sit down with their bibles and study. MOG gon leave d work of God and be predicting soccer scores when souls are perishing undecided. Next post jor.

How did you came to know about the bible? Someone taught? Yes or no, you said just read the bible, bible is not a newspaper.

You'd soon see his loyalists trooping out 2 wage war agnst any1 who says a word contrary to theirs abt him.
Smetime in Sept 1998, I read the true life story/confessn of 1 of his 4ma aides, who ran away & revealed so many evil fings abt him including peeps who smply disappear yle workn 4 him. Inshort, u dnt evn wanna hear all dis man said about TB, it's horrible!
Well, neva had & sure neva will ve an encounter with him so dose who see him as their god-man, pls study d bible & c wat it teaches

Even if you were in the time of the Bible you will not believe those fisher men you still call them names

TB Joshua should not just be banned, but arrested by the authorities.

Unfortunately the "authorities", whether in Ghana or 9ja, have made it possible for the people to be deceieved in their tens of millions.

Imagine an African claimimg to be having "Holy" water.

Nonsense

You are right, better it come from a white man, it pains you soooooooooooooo much but you can't do anything about it. millions already believe him including the super Eagles who where in his church for prayers last Saturday, sorryooooooooooo

smoothcrim2014: Ghanaian here. I am glad he had been banned.

TB Joshua is a conman who has swindled many people in his time. Surely if he was who he says he is they would be informing the police before Boko Haram strikes. Have the criminals not killed numerous Nigerian Christians? Instead he spends his time predicting football matches.


Come on, that is what a conman does.

If I had my way he would never be welcome to Ghana.

Sorry frustration, there is nothing you can do about it, but I can see you seeking solution from the one you hate, just as those who hate Jesus years ago now seek solution from him now.

All u fans of TB whatever, where in the bible dd Jesus curse those who reviled him in his day? Yu swear and pour insults on any1 not in consonance wit ur belief, why? How do u intend 2 win dem over if ur utterances are nt gracious & seasoned wit salt? Colossians 4:6. Mildness is a fruitage of the spirit. Gal. 5:23. Bible prophecies show dat we're living deep in d last days of dis sys of things & VERY SOON, World Govt will ban ALL forms of religion, incuring God's wrath wen dey try 2hurt his pple.

They give your same coin, why afraid again?

ZUBY77:

It is you who need the doctor for standing behing a god who watches his people die in his house.

You got it wrong, of they are His people as you said, they would have not throng to that place. No one who is in good term with his God consult an idol for solution, so not all there are God's children including you

I am confused about this god who cannot save his children from
1 - Natural disasters
2 - Bombings by people who are allegedly worshiping the wrong god.
3 - Stampeding themselves thereby murdering their own people.

You are right, just as many die during political party campaigns, during Pilgrimages to Israel, Mecca, during village masquerade dance and even in your family your great grand father is still alive. Haters

When the Day of Pentecost was fully come, the disciples of Jesus Christ were all with one accord in one place. Almost two thousand years later we observe this holy convocation in the same manner. Because we have been privileged to know of the Plan of God shown in His Holy Days, we understand that Pentecost pictures God’s Holy Spirit being bestowed on the called out saints. The Feast of Tabernacles is the great ingathering harvest of the world, but the Feast of Weeks – Pentecost – is the Feast of the Church (Exodus 23:16).



As God’s Church has grown in understanding, the details of Pentecost have become clearer to us as Jesus said they would. He said that the Comforter which is the Holy Spirit would teach us all things, and bring all things to our remembrance (John 14:26). With God’s help, there is no end to learning the truths contained in the Bible. The more we put together – the more we are able to see and understand of the Plan of God. Let’s take into account the knowledge, the timing, and the symbolism that we have come to understand in order to increase our comprehension of the overall picture and meaning of the Feast of Pentecost.



We are privileged and blessed to have been called to be the firstfruits of God’s spiritual creation – being made unto His image – even eventually unto His spiritual eternal life. At this time we are a work in progress – not yet complete – not yet like Him as He is (1 John 3:2). This process of our spiritual development is shown by Pentecost and the events surrounding Pentecost – up to the final Pentecost before Christ Returns.



Let’s look at some of the Scriptural points that we have come to know so that we might better understand the ramifications of the Feast of Pentecost within the Plan of God. Here is what we know:

o The Sabbath Day, at the end of the week, is the beginning of our spiritual creation (Genesis 2:3, Mark 2:27). Our being created will not be complete until we are spiritual beings in the eternal family of God (John 3:6, Philippians 1:6).

o Great and wonderful events occur on God’s Holy Days.

o Jesus Christ is the first of the firstfruits (1 Corinthians 15:23).

o The saints are also firstfruits to God and to the Lamb (James 1:18, Revelation 14:4).

o The Wave Sheaf and Pentecost are connected by the counting of weeks. None of the other Feasts of God are connected in this way.

o God gave the Ten Commandments from Mount Sinai on the Feast of Pentecost. The Scriptures give us the timing of the marriage covenant and the giving of the Law of God on Pentecost after the Children of Israel left Egyptian bondage.

o The Old Testament marriage covenant took place in conjunction with the Feast of Pentecost (Exodus 23:16, 24:7).

o Our resurrection – the resurrection of the saints – is inextricably tied to the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:5-6).

o The number seven pictures spiritual perfection.

o After seven complete weeks (seven weeks of seven days) from the Wave Sheaf day we come to Pentecost, the fiftieth day (Leviticus 23:15, Deuteronomy 19:9).

o The Wave Sheaf of Leviticus 23:10 pictures Jesus Christ.

o The resurrected Jesus was the first of the firstfruits offering during the Days of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:10-11).

o Jesus was raised from death by His Father (Ephesians 1:20)

o The Wave Sheaf pictures the sacrifice of Jesus being accepted by God the Father as the First of the firstfruits of the harvest (John 20:17). Jesus’ sacrifice was accepted as the firstborn from the dead (Colossians 1:18).

o The two wave loaves of fine flour represent the firstfruits to God of the harvest (Leviticus 23:17). These two loaves represent those who will be in the first resurrection from the Old Testament and those who will be in the first resurrection from the New Testament.

o The saints also must be accepted by God. After our resurrection we too shall be presented, as the Wave Sheaf was, to the Father for His acceptance (Leviticus 23:20, Revelation 12:11).

o The early Pentecost harvest pictures the firstfruits resurrection, while the latter Feast of Tabernacles harvest represents the great resurrection of all those not now called by God (Exodus 34:22).

o There will be a Marriage Supper of the faithful Church brethren as the Bride of Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:7).

o The events surrounding the giving of the Ten Commandments on Pentecost in Exodus 20 mirror the meaning and fulfillment of the final Day of Pentecost before Jesus Christ returns (1 Corinthians 10:11).

o The depiction of the throne of Jesus Christ Exodus 24:10 is a type of the throne of God and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in Revelation 4:6, 15:2, and 19:9.



They saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink. [Type of the marriage supper]



o These things are given to us by as symbols of the fuller reality to take place – Jesus Christ is going to marry the New Covenant Church and there will be a wedding supper.

o After our resurrection we will always be with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:17). We will return with Jesus Christ on the Feast of Trumpets (Revelation 19:14).

o On that first Pentecost after Jesus’ resurrection, the Holy Spirit came upon the called out ones – giving spiritual life to the Church of God (Acts 2:4).

o Pentecost pictures the future resurrection of the saints.



There is so much more to be said concerning the working of God’s Holy Spirit, but when we put the Holy Scriptures together they reveal that Pentecost pictures the first fulfillment of the spiritual creation of God – the ultimate resurrection of the Church of God – the redemption of the saints unto the eternal glory of God (Hebrews 2:10).

BON FETE

So he is now a Prophet? I heard he ripped off some Nigérians in Benin Republic when he went there last december and asked people to come for prayer with 100000 CFA and many came with 50000 CFA and he sent them back and asked them to complete the sum and also ask people to shake his hand with gifts for prayers. Only God can explain everything about these people.

Will try to buy from them

It is amazing why we Nigerians always rush to pastors at any slightest inch of problems or challenges we encounter. These so-called pastors are not excluded from life's ups and downs. Many a time, if not all, problems we normally face require logical know-how, not spiritual. It is quite tragic that our immediate environments have superbly influential control over us. Outside Nigeria, in most developed countries, people discuss physical problems, address the problems, analyze possible solution and approach to such problems. However, in our dear country, people are so gullible to a fault, they are always likening every problem they have to spiritual attacks. Should we call it illiteracy? No, because most of these humans are schooled.

If they rush to you do you have anything good to offer? Why do you rush to Panadols when you are sick?

@ Blink 182
you can only do little when you intercede for others and they are in no state of mind to accept your prayers. Nigeria is being governed by wicked politicians who have no regard for God. So little can be done

i refuse to agree with u..; even the members of their churches are among the poorest people in town; so why cant their intercession help their members too.... if it cant help the wicked politicians (jst as u said)

During Jesus' time there were no poor and sick people. I hope you believe it?

Chuck D.:
I was at my barber's yesterday and emmanuel tv was showing. A lady(evil spirit) was confessing and she(he) actually said "GOD FORBID,she will never make it". I laughed so loud @ a demon saying GOD FORBID. Shine ur eyes people.

When a thief, a kidnapper, bomber said god forbid what god do you think he's calling?

I now know that Nairaland are full of God haters and will soon remove my name from this God haters forum, unbelievable on what I read here, there people are stone aged people. C'est TRISTE.

NO TRUE MUSLIM KILLS, NO TRUE CHRISTIAN KILLS.

[b][b]why are you making ignorant comments. o.k. most of the so called house of god & men of god are like that, but not all are so.so look well. Now, hear it and be aware today, jehovah's witnesses are not like that. they strongly believe in what the bible says on hard work and earning a living & practice it. they also go about teaching same

Are you sampling your religion here? The most drunk and fornicators I have ever known are JW. They have the whole bible on their heads but never in their hearts.

WHICH GOD DO YOU THINK IN YOUR NORMAL SENSE ANSWER SUCH PRAYERS? WHEN BOMBS ARE BEING THROWN AND THEY SHOUTED ALLAHU AKBAR, KIDNAPPERS PRAYS IN JESUS' NAME AND ARMED ROBBERS WITH THEIR CHARMS? ANSWER ME WHO ANSWER SUCH PRAYERS, BE SINCERE TO YOUR SELF.

I wish my twin daughter (Sharon) who is in Nigeria now a successful JAMB with a distinction result.

Who is not a secondhand? All of you who are talking blablabla are all second hand. How many of you married as a virgin? Gents and ladies alike how many of you? Some of you guys even aborted your first born while in your school days or even presently. Kettle that call pot black. Jackie I wish you happiness with this new guy.

Why is it that nobody get to hear this man's predictions when they are made but rather after the event has taken place?i wonder what this people thinks they are doing in Gods name

do you view Emmanuel TV?

Which thunder are talking about?

Now I know Nairalanders are full of Pagans. God forgive those who are pagans here in Nairaland.
