Seun: Is there any verse in the Bible that says we must not criticise preachers? The "touch not my anointed" verse has nothing to do with that.
. u don't read d Bible yet u have mouth to talk... let me show u now . . Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.( don't scatter d Church with ur criticism) . John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son ( leave d judgement to Jesus alone) . Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.( don't judge d servant of Jesus, its not ur business, OK).
so OP tell me now, are u building with Jesus or scattering his Church.... u think Jesus is proud and very happy with ur post now right? who gave u d right to judge for Jesus... ds ur post can take u to hell, be very careful... I leave u with d scriptures below .

TheSixthSense: 'For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. Take note, I have told you beforehand...' (Matt 24:24-25)
One of the first books I got, after the Lord's gracious salvation of my life, was the bestseller 'Good Morning Holy Spirit' by Benny Hinn. A great read at the time, I was fascinated by his knowledge about things of the Spirit and God and his path to experiencing the Holy Spirit even to conversational relations. I watched his sermons, I ignored comments about him being a heretic. I thought why people so judgemental especially christians, what is he possibly doing wrong? He preaches Jesus and the Holy Spirit and he even talks about casting out demons in Jesus name. He explains angels and God's relationship with them as though he had some divine revelation from the Holy Spirit Himself. I liked his book and certainly respected him as a preacher and a 'man of God.'
Then came a time when he came around to my city at a RCCG parish. I determined to go see him, even if it meant forfeiting my church service for his scheduled miraculous service. I had been praying for a miracle so I thought my moment had finally arrived. So, I went. Praise and worship was fantastic and colourful, way more appealing to the congregation than that of my church. Service carried on until Benny arrived, celebrated as he was ushered in then he began his sermon with 'whoow I feel the anointing' He went on to talk about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ taking us through the torturous ordeal of the cross along with the more than occasional sedating musical tune from his music crew.
'Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows...But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; And by His stripes we are healed(Isa 53:4-6) echoed through the speakers. Then, people gradually started coming out to give testimonies of their healing. 'My back pain for several months gone' 'My ankle pain gone' 'My arthritis gone' ...'My wrist pain gone' almost every healing seemed to be about pain. All the while, right in front of me was a row of people sat on wheelchairs, expectant for their healing. In fact, I'm sure almost everyone in the service required some sort of miraculous intervention. I thought maybe God hasn't remembered me or maybe I didn't have enough faith to receive my healing. I thanked God anyway for the service and the others.
Then came the moment that shook me. They had earlier passed envelopes with forms for credit card debit information for giving. So, Benny went ahead beseeching us to say and proclaim 'The wealth of the sinner must come to me.' (I thought what a dishonest desire to proclaim. What's my own with the sinner's money). He said Kenneth Copeland gave him a prophetic declaration at the beginning of the year that any covenant sowing with him would be exceedingly fruitful. He went ahead to give us a rundown of how Abraham, Isaac, Moses, Joshua and all sowed in obedience and they reaped exceedingly. He gave examples of how someone's financial debt was cleared from obedience and on with a couple of other examples. Then, he went personal. He asked a woman, 'how much do you pay monthly for your mortgage?' she said about a thousand then he said 'the Lord wants you to give a month's worth and watch what the Lord will do.'
As he continued, I noticed for the first time in my christian life that I completely switched off, very unusual but I could feel it - Quenching of the Spirit, maybe - But I silently prayed 'Lord, you know my heart, it is not even because of money that I am here and I really don't understand this money thing' Then it hit me, it is one Spirit, if God will heal me He will do it wherever I am through the His Spirit that is within. I don't even have to attend another church. So, I left quite confused but with the empty envelope. I was tempted to try sowing with a little but I waited and just prayed about it.
But, thank God for that experience because it made me to stop reading his book and any other I had planned and went directly to the bible and occasionally articles from John Piper's desiringgod.org and I noticed the world of difference between spirit-edifying bible-based teaching and what the 'prosperity word-of-faith hypergrace' people preach.
So, what is the false gospel of Benny Hinn? There are so many articles about Benny Hinn. From asking for Katherine Kuhlman's anointing at her grave to unbiblical revelations about God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I had thought maybe Benny Hinn changed or lost it along the way because anyone who would encourage his church to read the whole bible couldn't be so bad right? His book talked about the lost emphasis on holiness by the church even then and it's not all garbage. There is rather some things to learn from his book.
But as I continue to read the bible, I discover that these deceptive practices contradict the life and teaching of Jesus Christ and His apostles and it is in fact, another gospel and definitely not of our Lord Jesus Christ. The money-loving lifestyles of Benny Hinn and his friends do not conform with the standards of 1 Tim 3:3 and Tit 1:7.
This teaching was made popular by the freemason Oral Roberts and it has invaded Africa to the point where people associate the gospel and Jesus Christ to these men of the occult. The history of the movement is quite interesting and relatively recent.
Another thing, Benny Hinn's miraculous 'slain in the spirit' and 'drunk in spirit' is similar to kundilani yoga spirits that give ecstatic feelings to the possessed. It's worse with Bill Johnson and his Bethel Church version of holy spirit. I have come to notice that the cliche 'birds of a feather flock together' cannot be any truer. These guys visit Nigeria and mingle with their allies in the deception of God's people. For the nigerian pastors, I give a benefit of doubt that some are actually sincere in propagating deceptive doctrines.
Imagine if Bill Gates, Zuckerberg and the rich others were to attend these churches, what would they preach? to sow seeds? for what then? how to make money? Or talk about pastor's money story?
The gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone, the rich, poor, broken, healed, sick and well. It is about the finished work of salvation for victory over sin and death provided for in the blood of atonement. The message is simple and truth and it has continued to transform lives from the days of the apostles. There is power in salvation and it is usually a testimony.
The bible says those who reject and do not love the truth to be saved, God would give them a delusion so that they would believe a lie so that they would be condemned. (2 Thes 2:9-12).
What then is the truth? 'Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth...And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth[/b] (John 17:17,19)
Someone said let's not limit God. True, but I'd rather limit God to His Word that would never pass away than not limit Him to His Bible than be exposed to demonic practices and doctrines in the name of pastor, prophetic revelation and signs and wonders of men and worse believing another gospel.
The truth is the Word of God. The Bible is sufficient. Sola Scriptura. Be like the Bereans who searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. (Acts 17:11) To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them (Isa 8:20)

ariesbull: Nigerians may not have he opportunity to enter Dubai again ! As it stands now, the Emirati Government is considering a total ban on Nigerians entering UAE after the 2015 travel restrictions. This is due to the high crime rates Nigerian nationals perpetuate in UAE. As the Dubai City official claimed. Nigerians wanting to travel to Dubai either for holidays or business may have to put their travel plans on hold as it stands now. Dubai, a city state in the United Arab Emirates has banned Nigerians from coming in. This is as a result of high crime rates perpetuated by Nigerians living in Dubai.
A week ago, an armored bullion van was attacked in the city by men believed to be Nigerians. This unconfirmed report has it that 80% of the robbers were Nigerians and in the process one Emirati law enforcement agent(Police) lost his life.
In the same vein, reports have it that , about 50 Nigerian girls were rounded up in the suburban areas of Dubai on the account of prostitution. Dubai, frowns at prostitution and considers this a crime. The Emirati Government re considering a total ban of Nigerian entering their beautiful city. No more wedding in Dubai, No more Holiday selfies in Dubai as it is. Unconfirmed reports have it that the City officials are no more comfortable with the presence of Nigerians.
Around 2015, Dubai has banned single and unmarried Nigerians less than 40 from visiting the country except the person is accompanied by someone who is above 40 and bears the same surname with them. It is assumed that the Nigerian High Commission in UAE will wade into this and sort out this travel restriction.

soberdrunk: its all fun and games until One day Junior makes a statement like "daddy its not me that 'do' it"............. The streets will teach you more 'important' life lessons and wont charge you a 'dime'. The biggest irony is that parents who send their kids to this type of school learnt from the streets and became successful, success isnt tied to any institution, its either in you or not..........

Made2Eazie: if you got an ND Why not make use of it? with your ssce result alone i think the only option for that are the menial jobs but m not saying you can't get a good one though. Yes they offer employment visa for menial jobs but the chances are very slim.. I can't tell How long you will search for jobs cos it. all depend on individual differences say determination et al... some got theirs in a week some a month n some didn't..
my advice: go with your ND and be prayerful.
but sir, is it possible for someone on ds thread who has been following advice here to enter into Dubai and not get a job within 3wks
henrimoto: It doesn't come easily and quickly Like that, and there are some negative twists attached to most of these Direct employment deals when its not a professional type.
Secondly, Direct Employment visas are of two types. The professional and the labour(contract) types.
The professional type is for career professionals, say Nurses, doctors, Teachers, Engineers and other economic meaningful careers like that. This type is done when a UAE registered company or organisation(s) is bringing an expertriate from outside the UAE into the UAE. The company deals directly with applicant irrespective of distance. The applicant sends his/credentials online, interview is done online.
When the applicant is chosen after the online interview, the terms and condition of the job is made known to the applicant.
The labour Employment visa type has lots of twist to it. Agents are mostly involved, and they wouldnt tell you the true terms and conditions of the job.
This type of employment, the pay is low, at times it used to be very ridiculous depending on the organisation involved. And the conditions attached to such jobs are heart breaking, the agents linking you to such deal will not tell you these things. They will hype the salary and work conditions to you.
They will not tell you that you will have to work with the company that brought you into the UAE for 2 years or so.
Yes, the company will provide the visa for you to come over but its not free! When you start to work, the company will deduct it from your salary.
Its better which ever means you are going to use to job hunt in the UAE, you should know the important details before going.
Made2Eazie: that is the employment visa but be sure you know What you are getting into before accepting such offer. I'd suggest you come first n search for jobs.
OK no problem...but if I can get a free employment visa, I would be very happy
