Christianity EtcAre You Ready? A Short Message To Christians By Lyoncrescent by Lyoncrescent(op): 8:21am On Sep 11, 2016
John 3:16: For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believeth in him shall never perish but have everlasting life. That is my most favorite bible passage simply because it gives the promise of eternal and everlasting life for those who truly believe and work in this belief. It also in my own thinking states that the only thing devil cannot give is eternal life. Earthly wealth, miracles and healing and anything confined to this earth can be given by the devil. I personally believe that the true prosperity is when we take our seats in heaven.
Pastors and church leaders are often seen as anointed men of GOD and called by GOD which may be the case. However, we should not see these pastors as a contact point to get to Jesus. Churches are like schools. Church members are like the students. However, as the school has teachers so does the church. The teacher of the church is Jesus Christ. Pastors are at best Class representatives or class captains of the students and not the teachers in the church. A teacher has already written the test and passed which is why he/she is the teacher. The pastor in this context hasn’t written the test and hasn’t passed. In other words, the pastor will still be judged on judgment day prior to making heaven. There are no economy seats to heaven. If we are going to heaven, we are all going first class.

As pastors are class captains who have been chosen by Jesus, We should be very careful to build our faith and knowledge by seeking inspiration from the Holy Spirit and hearing the voice of GOD. You should never ever pray through your class captain (pastor) by saying may the GOD of my class captain (pastor) do this for me in Jesus name. Pray only through the name of your teacher (Jesus Christ). Your class captain may derail and choose another thing as his GOD without you knowing unless with the gift of the holy spirit in you. Your focus should be on your teacher Jesus Christ who can never ever derail.

Prosperity is a good thing but true prosperity is when we make heaven. Earthly wealth is nothing but dust and as Christians we need to have a heaven mindset. How many Christians are in the Forbes richest people list? One of the most critical prayers one can pray is for GOD to reveal to him/her a church where he/she can get spiritual growth. A church with thousands and millions of members is good as it gives the members opportunity to hear the good news of Jesus. However the success of a church is not judged by the number of those baptized or church members. It is simply judged by the number that is heaven bound. In a church with 20,000 members, if 10,000 can make heaven then we can say it is a pass mark at 50 percent. That is how success of a church is judged, not by how many miracles or how many billionaires attend the church.

Fear GOD Above. In school, the exam date is often set and one is fully aware before time. As Christians, we go through serious trials and temptations but the ultimate test is in two folds. No one knows when the trumpet will sound and no one knows the exact minute he/she will die. As you read this the trumpet can sound. As your pastor is preaching about 100 ways to be financially secure, the trumpet may sound. As you go to church you may die. Will you be ready? Are you ready? Making heaven is not as easy as it seems. It is a tough task. To live a life full of holiness and reverence for GOD with divine love, true forgiveness and the gift of the Holy Spirit among other things is critical.
We need the gift of the Holy Spirit and to hear from our teacher.

There are so many mysteries in the bible and as Christians; we need to continually pray to GOD that he reveals these secret things to us. Devils Mission is for a Christian not to make heaven and he won’t stop till he has his mark on us. Any other thing is a bonus to Satan. We should continually pray to Jesus to reveal secret things such as the power of the psalms, the role of fasting and prayers, the role of restitution and the gift of the Holy Spirit among other things. Speaking in tongue doesn’t guarantee making heaven as miracles, mega churches and prosperity doesn’t guarantee making heaven. Making heaven is much more than that.

As I started, John 3:16 is my best part of the bible. Devil is so powerful but cannot give eternal life. If you want a church of 100 million people, the devil has capability to pull it off. He will top if up with a “sound pastor who knows the word”. The devil also knows the bible. If you look critically at when the devil was tempting Jesus, he was quoting scriptures from the old testament to tempt Jesus. Earthly rewards can also be provided by Satan. Money, children, houses etc. Devil can also perform miracles. However, devil cannot give eternal life which is the true reward for believers.

FEAR GOD AS YOU DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU WILL DIE OR WHEN THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND. ARE YOU READY?

Forgive me if i am wrong but are pre wedding photos not meant for guests and loved ones who want to do souvenirs for the couple thus putting it on things like jotters,plates and handkerchiefs etc ? Or are pre wedding photos meant to publicize the wedding or meant to be in a wedding website ?

Cos it seems to me everyone is just doing the pre wedding photos thing for doing sake. Can someone please educate me so i dont seem ignorant.

Great writing. I drive past Allen very early in the morning and late at night to and fro from work and these story of yours just made me see the ladies in a different light. When i drove past early this morning, i saw some and kept wondering what their stories were and if its worse off than ebere or ifeomas own. Cant judge them anymore when i see them as i dont know the ish they have to deal with and its not as if i am making an excuse for prostitution .

Looking forward to more updates and thanks alot for your frequent updates. GOD bless you.

The sad thing is another set of DSS trainees are currently being trained and most of the recruitments were given as slots to politicians from APC. Sources say 70 Percent of the recruits currently undergoing training are from the North. I voted for Buhari but i am really getting concerned. The NPA appointment was the worst. She rode on the popularity of BBOG to get there.

EducationRe: Chinedu Iheanatu-Geoffrey Is Oxford University Best Finance Law Student by Lyoncrescent: 4:21pm On Jul 20, 2016
This is excellent. Universities should have their specialities and build on it to become centres of excellence. Lasus law program is one that I've heard so many good things about over the years and their graduates also do well in law school. I personally believe ranking of universities should be done per subject area using a viable and transparent methodology. This will allow us to know the best universities for different fields such as law,medicine,IT,accounting, best MBA programs etc. This will subsequently ensure research funds can be tailored to institutions that are excellent in a particular field. Even the great Harvard is not excellent in all its subjects rather it focusses on business and law to achieve excellence. That's what we need in Nigeria.

PoliticsRe: Buratai's $1.5m Dubai Assets: DHQ To Decide Army Chief’s Fate by Lyoncrescent: 11:46am On Jun 29, 2016
sukkot:
army boys dont necessary have to loot to be rich

i had a friend in the army who was posted to ibadan. during that petrol scarcity they were in charge of all the filling stations and everyone had to pay him to get petrol. on a day at that gas station and gas stations all over ibadan he was making like 10,000 dollars. this whole exercise lasted for 3 months or so. this was a little while back. my nigga went to england and bought a house cash down with the money. he must have made 2 million dollars. point being army boys dont necessarily have to loot to have 1.5 million houses in dubai. they extort from the public
I get your point. However, if that your friend now buys a house in Banana Island and they ask him to explain how he got the money, i am sure he would say he got it from his "savings" abi ?

I personally have lost hope in Nigeria. I still maintain that the most corrupt people in Nigeria are not those we vote for. The most corrupt people in Nigeria who add fertilizer to corruption are the civil servants at all levels including custom officials, The Judiciary , The Police and Millitary and finally Political appointees. These set of people have stolen more money than Abacha would have stolen in 100 life times.

I gave up on Nigeria a long time ago simply because the system is broken. Al Capone wasnt arrested for being a gangster. He was arrested for tax evasion. Can that ever happen in Nigeria ? Ordinary tax returns should be able to nail your friend who extorted cos he has to explain the source of the money.

CelebritiesRe: 'WIZKID Is The Best Artist Nigeria Has Ever Produced' - See My Reasons by Lyoncrescent: 2:53pm On Jun 18, 2016
I personally think Wizkid is not in the top 100 of best Artistes Nigeria has ever produced. You could however say Wizkid is the best Pop Artist Nigeria has ever produced.

Take someone like william onyeabor for instance. How many people know him ? He stopped singing in 1985 yet there is an american band that performs his songs all of the world. His recompilation album Who is William Onyeabor? was rated as the fourth best album of 2013 by Times Magazine.

http://entertainment.time.com/2013/12/04/arts-and-entertainment/slide/top-10-albums/

If you want to know more about him watch the documentary below:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiaRp0M2fxE

These are real musicians . Real artistes same as Fela and Osadebe and Onyeka Onwenu and many others.

Wizkid is an excellent pop artist and when its clubbing time, his music soothes me but to say he is the best Nigerian Artist ever is questionable.

Abiola won the election quite alright but to celebrate him as a hero of democracy is wrong and a scam. True heroes of democracy are the likes of Anthony enharoro and Gani Fawemmi. Abiola dined with the military. Its an open secret. If not that the likes of shehu yaradua , Olu falae and Ciroma were disqualified from running ,MKO wouldn't have gotten the ticket.

Christianity EtcRe: See The Sacrifice Form RCCG Gave Members Asking For Houses, Cars, Lands & Money by Lyoncrescent: 11:53am On Jun 06, 2016
Acidosis:
These people have ruined Pastor Adeboye's efforts.

First, they started like DEEPER LIFE (same dress, same mode of worship). As soon as Baba allowed the creation of all kinds of parish, MANY changed, and even condemned Mrs Adeboye's mode of dressing (she's one of the few who maintained the deeper life style till date).

I really wish this man well, cos it is clear that many of his members are on the pathway to hell. Sometimes, I do wonder if they do anything else aside dancing, mothers day, aso-ebi day, cultural day, Valentine festival, singles night - all in a supposed house of God.

Meanwhile, everything is wrong with that envelope. Kai!
More Like ruined Josiah Akindayomis efforts; the founder of RCCG.

The proliferation of the model parishes and the quest to have at least one RCCG church in every street has led to a dire situation that promotes "Quantity of the Gospel" rather than "Quality of the Gospel".

RCCG was built on a platform of holiness and Humility and if you are lucky to hear any of Josiah Akindayomis old sermons, it is always stated.

I am sorry to say but only very few RCCG ordained pastors are in spirit. Those at the Redemption Camp are the funniest of them all. The things people do for money.

As far as the topic is concerned , I hope its a hoax but if its confirmed to be true then i wont be suprised.

Only God in heaven knows who is truly worshiping him and the reward for a true christian is to make heaven.

I pray we Christians stand in true holiness so that the holy spirit can discern a lot of things that our naked eyes and physical presence cannot see.

Mircale and Propsperity gospel is not the way as the Devil can also easily offer both. The only thing the devil cannot offer is eternal life. Whether one can combine politics in Nigeria and still make heaven is a question only God can answer.
