Religion / Re: Prosperity Pastor Eddie Long Enthroned As “king’ During Church Service by mabell: 9:36pm On Feb 12, 2012
A-Omega:

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (1 Timothy 4:1)
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)


In an act of outright blasphemy against The Lord, Bishop Eddie Long, of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA, held a bizarre ceremony in his January 29th church service in which he was “enthroned” as a king and elevated in the air by a group of men to be worshiped as a God by the thousands of followers in his church. The clip is below.

Enjoy All Things – Sunday February 12, 2012 – Pastor Anita

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21-22).

Everything you need for life and godliness has already been granted you in Christ Jesus. Our heavenly Father, through Christ has given you the best life – a life of victory, success, authority, joy and laughter; a life void of sickness, diseases, poverty, defeat and death. Some people believe they have to suffer and settle for the lesser things in life. For them, it’s wrong to look good, wear nice things and live in a good home. They’re of the notion that if you live in poverty, you’ll go to heaven; but if you have all the nice things of life, you’ll probably go to hell.

That you have good things and enjoy a prosperous life on earth doesn’t mean you won’t make heaven. Some of the greatest men in heaven as revealed to us in the Word were men of means and of great substance while they were on earth. Talk about Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David; these were no paupers! They enjoyed their lives and subdued the world of their time. Living in poverty, sickness and defeat is not at all the yardstick for those who’ll go to heaven.

Understand the will of God for your life; He made you after His own image and likeness, to live in dominion and exercise divine authority in the earth. The Bible talks about the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow (1 Peter 1:11)! That means now that you’re born again your life is for glory. There’s absolutely no need to live a defeated or miserable life. The Lord has perfected everything that concerns you; so go ahead, relish the moment and enjoy your life in Christ.

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me all things to enjoy, having supplied all my needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Thank you for giving me such a glorious life of joy, peace and laughter! I’m reigning in life by the power of the Holy Spirit, conscious that your divine power has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2 Peter 1:3
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

Religion / Re: Tithes, Offerings And First Fruits - Do They Apply To Us As Christians? by mabell: 8:58pm On Feb 12, 2012
garyarnold:

Every church I have attended teaches tithing. All of them. It wasn't until a few years ago when my pastor asked me to teach a Sunday School Class in finances that I began my study of tithing.

When pastors teach tithing, they don't do it to steal money or rob people rather they do it with all sincerity of heart.
Now, from your findings, you also believed in tithing and was doing it with a sincere heart, so what makes you think that those who teach and do tithing are not being sincere as well, what makes you think they want to purposely rob God or should we assume you are not being sincere as well?

garyarnold:

I was shocked to find that everything I had been taught about tithing was wrong. It bothered me much, and I set up a meeting with my pastor. My pastor listened to my arguments against tithing, then said he believed tithing was proper, but he agreed to do his own research. A few weeks later, he stopped teaching robbing God, then gradually stopped teaching tithing BUT would not let go of the term tithing. He started teaching free-will giving, but calling it tithing. He didn't want his congregation to know his teaching had been wrong.


You sound like your pastor did not teach you what he did on tithing on purpose
Different ministers can teach differently depending on their revelation and probably for different purposes
but that does not mean they are all alike
some teach with sincerity of hearts based on what they know

Your Faith Is What Counts! – Friday February 10, 2012 – Pastor Chris

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small (Proverbs 24:10).

Is it possible for a Christian to be attacked by the evil one? Yes, but it makes no difference. The attack or onslaught of the enemy against you will not amount to anything, because you’re more than a conqueror: “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). The Bible however talks about “the evil day” (Ephesians 6:13) or “day of adversity,” as read in our opening verse. It’s not a day to dread, but the day when your faith is tested.

Your faith must remain unwavering and resilient in the face of adversity; that’s what matters – not whether or not Satan and his cohorts are against you. Isaiah 54:15 (MSG says, “If anyone attacks you, don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them, And if any should attack, nothing will come of it.” Here the Lord describes the futility of the enemy’s onslaught against you; nothing will come of it! No attack, ploy, maneuvers or machinations of Satan can work against you when you stand your grounds in faith: “…Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).

The word “strength” used in the opening scripture refers to your faith. When your faith is little or weak, it means your strength is small, and will not be able to withstand in the day of adversity. The cure for this is to feed more on God’s Word and put the Word to work in your life; that’s how to build your faith strong.

God doesn’t think Satan or his cohorts are factors; the factor is your faith. Ephesians 6:16 says “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” That sickness has attacked you is not a problem; the question is “Where is your faith?” It’s not about how bad the situation is. With faith in your spirit, every adversity will be a walkover. Your faith is the victory; so get into the Word and meditate on it consistently, and faith will be stirred in your spirit to walk through every adversity or opposition.

Confession
I’m not moved by the physical circumstances, but I stand firmly on God’s Word, taking advantage of the faith that has been imparted to my spirit to ward off the fiery missiles of the adversary. I declare that the power of God is released to cause a desired change as I put my faith to work. Hallelujah!

Further Study
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Mark 11:23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

HERE IS TODAYS MESSAGE FROM THE RHAPSODY

Give Him Your Cares! – Thursday February 9, 2012 – Pastor Anita

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Matthew 6:25).

The verse above is an invitation from the Master for you to trust Him with your life. He wants you to have no care or anxiety whatsoever about anything, because God loves you greatly, and tenderly cares for you. He’s saying to you “Give me your cares!”

As a child of God you must come to the point in your life where you know, without a doubt, that God is not only big enough to take care of you but equally willing to do so. He’s more willing for you to live and enjoy life to the full than you could ever be. This takes the stress out of life; knowing that you serve a loving and compassionate Father, whose desire is for you to live a victorious life. The reason many people in the world are unhappy and burdened with lots of worries, being surfeited with the cares of life is that they’re yet to accept His invitation: they haven’t given Him their cares.

1 Peter 5:7 says “Casting all your cares upon him; for he careth for you.” God cares for you personally; that means He knows you and He’s concerned about you, therefore trust Him with your life. The Psalmist knew what it meant to trust the Lord this way; he was so sure of God’s ability and willingness to guarantee his safety hence declared with all certainty: “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me” (Psalm 138:7). This should be your attitude as a child of God.

Too many are focused on the challenges and problems they’re facing, and as a result, lose sight of God’s grace and presence with them. By meditating on their challenges they short-circuit the power of God from working on their behalf. Refuse to dwell on whatever challenges you may be facing right now! Rather, think about the ability of the Spirit; He’s all-great and powerful and can put you over every adversity.

Prayer
I refuse to fret or worry over anything because God loves me and He’s big and powerful enough to take care of me! Therefore, I live victoriously in rest today, having cast all my cares upon Him. Blessed be His Name.

Matthew 6:25-34

26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seeksmiley for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Believe And Receive Love – Wednesday February 8, 2012 – Pastor Chris

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins (1 John 4:10).

God created man with the ability to love and receive love. So love is not only meant to be given, it’s also to be received. Receiving love is equally as important as giving it. Some people struggle in their relationship with God and with others because they don’t know how to receive love. Imagine a wife who says to her husband, “I know you really don’t love me.” Such a woman is unknowingly dousing the love her husband has for her. The man may not be able to explain it, but he’ll gradually tend to love her less. The same will happen with the man who thinks his wife doesn’t love him.

Love has to be believed and received. It has to be acted upon. The Bible tells us about one of the disciples of Jesus named John. He described himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved (John 21:20). This doesn’t suggest that the Lord loved John more than the other disciples; He loved them all equally. Any one of them could have placed his head on the Master’s chest (John 13:23), but only John believed and received the Master’s love enough to do so. That’s the right response to love.

John’s boldness to describe himself as one beloved of the Master wasn’t rooted in pride; rather it was based on complete trust. He caught the picture of the Master’s love and dared to believe he was the object of such unfeigned and unwavering love. The Bible says the love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). It’s however up to you to choose how much of that you’re going to receive and express. It’s a personal response which, when understood, attracts even more love to you.

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for lavishing your unconditional love on me, and for sending Jesus to be the propitiation for my sins. My lips shall praise you, my King, for I see from your Word today that I’m the object for your love and apple of your eyes. I love and adore you in return, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Further Study
John 13:23-25
Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake. He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

e-planning:

I laugh.
When they see that traffic seems to be dropping, they place a Pastor Chris story on the front page and 'GBOAH!'. . . the numbers go up.
Anyways, a day will come when we will all stand before the master to give account.

I wonder what the OP will say when he finds out that not a dime was received as royalty or profit by Pastor Chris from the printing or publication of any book, VCD, DVD, tape e.t.c. The OP will definitely pay for these lies except he openly repents.

I heard Pastor Chris say, "I buy my own copy of ROR". One time, I heard Bishop Oyedepo say that he has never received money from the sale of any book since his ministry began. I believe its the same for Adeboye since he sort of fathered Oyedepo. These men have made their lives and ministries an alter for God's presence and power. No man can successfully stop them or bring them down.
No wonder (I thought) millions around the world receive miracles and are blessed, protected,  delivered, and prospered by simply connecting to these men.
No wonder, God is committed to Oyakhilome, scattering the enemies that rise against him no matter their size or stature.
No wonder it appears the nations have been given to him. ROR is being distributed in over a hundred and sixty countries in 148 languages of the world.

No wonder Satan is mad. These are the last days and just like we see liars and  false teachers like the OP, we will also see the glory and power of God is His church like never before.

Beautiful piece you have ther
You know, you have spoken great truth
often times, i hear pastor chris say he bought his own materials and listens or reads them over again.
That's because there's a value attached to it.
David said he will not give to God what costs him nothing, its the same principle here, even if i pay for rhapsodies to be distributed free, i ensure i get my own copy and because of the benefits of the rhapsody, i would want to reachout with it to as many people as i can afford.

These beautifully printed rhapsodies were not just printed for the leaders and members of christ embassy, they were made for the whole world (and not every body can afford it) so the church members end up sponsoring as many as they can. This is where partnership comes in.
