no mata what, be it 100000000years to come,I WILL WAIT IN JESUS NAME, UNTIL I DIE.


I KNOW WHAT I SEE,AND WHAT HAPPEN, JESUS WILL COME VERY SOON.

sadly, most church in nigeria have lost it, they sing to be admire by people rather than sing for joy in they Lord.

After being rebuked for committing adultery with Bathsheba and then taking her as his wife, David prayed, “Have mercy upon me, O God,accordin to your loving-kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions” (Psalm 51:1).*

After hearing Shimei curse him as he left Jerusalem to escape his son Absalom, David said, “It may be that the Lord will look on my affliction and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing this day” (2 Samuel 16:12).

After being sentenced to death for
refusing to bow to Nebuchadnezzar’s
golden statue, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said, “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us. … But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the golden image which you have set up” (Daniel 3:17-18).

After learning of the Medes and Persians’ new decree prohibiting WORSHIP, Daniel prayed three times on his knees, “as was his custom since early days” (Daniel 6:10).

After being swallowed by a whale, “Jonah prayed to the Lord his God” (Jonah 2:1).

After learning that God would use Babylon to punish Israel, Habakkuk prayed, “Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no
food; though the flock may be cut off
from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls – yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation” (Habakkuk
3:17-18).

Before his
arrest in
the
garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, “O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you
will” (Matthew 26:39). One day later, on the cross Jesus cried, “It is
finished!” (John 19:30)

As he was being stoned, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. … Lord, do
not charge them with this sin” (Acts
7:59-60).

After being arrested and thrown into a Philippian jail, during the night Paul and Silas began “praying and singing hymns to God” (Acts 16:25).

After being sentenced to the island of
Patmos for his Christian testimony, John said, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day and I heard behind me a loud voice … saying, ‘I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last’” (Revelation 1:9-11).

Where is such worship today, such strong and deep faith? We like to sing “happy” songs in church, but they rarely include persecution, suffering, or death. Today’s Christian songs are too glib. They won’t sustain us in hard times or keep us through flood and fire (Isaiah 43:2). I admire the worship leader at my church.
He seems pure in heart. But this young man knows little about true worship. He prefers excitement over prayerful peace and depth. I don’t know what he’d do if a family member died suddenly, or if he were thrown into prison for his faith. Praising God through a storm is true
worship because God can sustain us
through anything. That’s why he gives us “songs in the night” (Job 35:10, Psalm 42:8, 77:6). Do we believe it? Do some people look for excitement in Christian music because they know that when the music stops, they have no faith? Are they afraid to be alone with their true selves? I wonder. What will happen in the weeks, months, and years ahead? What will the church here in nigeria, and around the world, endure? I don’t know. But I hope she discovers true worship. Only strong and deep faith in God can sustain us, as “men’s hearts fail them from fear” (Luke
21:26).

“ I bless your name, I bless your name
I give you honor, give you praise
You are the life, the truth, the way
I bless your name, I bless your name"

alexleo, nice one.

chukwudi44: The mother mary,the actual source of his humanity was descended fron the lineage of David

God bless you bro, they claim they understand the bible but the same bible say THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD WHICH PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING SHALL ABIDE IN US.

frosbel: I believe in God no doubt , but do not believe he is exclusive to the Jews, I think that's the point I am getting at

In other words, God is the God of ALL !!

am waiting for you to hit the nail, you don't believe in jesus christ,
The way I read your coment is like you don't need jesus to save you, you can save your self,from generation to generation man has been lookin for a way to escape hell, satisfy them self with lies, but either you like it or not THERE IS HELL AND THE SINNER MUST PAY FOR THERE SIN.you need jesus bro. CONFESSING JESUS CHRIST IS ACCEPTING THE WORD OF GOD BECAUSE
JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD, NOT
CONFESSING JESUS BUT DECIDED TO BE A
GOOD MAN, IS LIKE A MAN TELLING GOD,
"HELLOW GOD,I KNOW SATAN IS A BAD
MAN AND YOU'RE TRYING TO HELP ME, BUT GOD, I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP, I CAN SAVE
MYSELF, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR WORD
[JESUS].

frosbel: I am really beginning to worry that a lot of the hog wash I was fed as a so called believer is actually starting to unfold into a horror movie of myth and fable.

For example, Christians believe they worship the one true God but so do Muslims, Jews and almost all religions. The problem is this : How can the creator of mankind be limited to a particular religion, race , time or location ?

I personally think God is ONE but he is for ALL , he is not a Christian God he is the Peoples God, he is not a Muslims God he is the people's God, he is not the Jewish God he is the peoples God. God is absolutely no respecter of persons and many so called Christians will be shell shocked on the last day when he says the dreaded words " depart from me you workers of evil ". They erroneously think that they own God and therefore can live as they like and all will be just fine. What nonsense.

Furthermore , the Christian boasts in his God but has also killed in the name of his God, in fact the Muslim is still killing in the name of his God and worst yet the Jews think they own God 100% and say to themselves 'why don't we just blow the whole middle east into smithereens and take the land of our fathers back' etc....

I have news for you religious people :

YOU DO NOT OWN GOD, GOD IS FOR ALL not for a FEW People who belong to a cult, sect or religious affilication.

Lets see the qualificatrions for being a Gods favourie :

"My hands have made both heaven and earth; they and everything in them are mine. I, the LORD, have spoken! "I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts, who tremble at my word" - Isaiah 66:2

"Opening his mouth, Peter said: "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality, 35but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.…" - Acts 10:34

God is LOVE !!

all this is long story, GOD DO NOT ASK US TO BELONG TO A RELIGION SECT.
why will God created me and ask me to belong to a religion group before I will be save?is like a father gives condition to his children before he will Love them, fatherly love is unconditional, OUR GOD LOVE'S US UNCONDITIONAL GOD.

Rilwayne001: According to the bible
Jesus turned water to wine, can you do that? even your pastor..can he do it? or ever did it?

Jesus fed more than 5000men with a loaf of bread, can you do that? even your pastor..can he do it? or ever did it?

Jesus walked on sea according to the bible, can you do it? even your pastor..can he do it? or ever did it?

Jesus said if you believe in him and tell a mountain to throw itself into a river,it will surely happen, can you do that? even your pastor..can he do it? or ever did it?

Please answer all my kwestions dont skip them abeg....



mtsheew..
how does this relate to what we are sayin...
the miracle of islam is everywherr for you to see aside all that you state up there.



so are you saying that the bomb despite missing there major target never killed anybody most especially people comin out of the tafsir programme?

with God all things are possible, unless you don't believe in miracle. Do you? I may not feed 50people or change water to wine, but one thin for sure, I can do miracle through the name of jesus.


Funny guy,if you want to set trap , is it not were you will kill many meat you will set the trap? If you say boko haram are people in the politics, I may reason with you, but for you to say they are christian, that a very very big lie, I remember when they have not started killing muslims, all the hausa guys are very happy with them, there kid are even calling them self boko haram, but just when the boko boys start killing muslims, they start causing them and sayin they are christian.

Rilwayne001: Can you please quote out the passage where he said so and do exactly what he did in the passage?



You don start again....? enh GLEL ...

meanwhile, going to the hospital does not matter, you can just branch a chemist to buy drugs or go to "iya alagbo" to buy herbal concotion. The same way am living my life, av never been to the hospital ever since i 1994...except when i went to remove my bad teeth and whenever my kinsfolk give birth.

Or are you saying you have'nt taken any drug to relief you of certain ailment since 1995?

btw.. of all the evil things going on in nigeria, is that the only testimony you can give concerning Jesus name?

John12:14. New International Version Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in
me will do the works I have been doing,
and they will do even greater things
than these, BECAUSE I AM GOIN TO THE FATHER. as He died , he was made manifest in us, if you believe you will do greater.

No point agueing with you, have you ever believe anytin? Bt if it Allah write on a meat or tree, you will believe even you were not there.

Let me derail. boko haram are bombing places now in kaduna, they first target the preacher were he was holding the tafsir, there are thousand of people but they did not put the bomb there, they waited after he finish the tafsir, they follow his convoy and attack him, thank God he was not dead, they follow him again but to God be the glory , he survive. NOW IF BOKO HARAM ARE SPONSOR BY CAN, WHY THEY DID NOT PUT THE BOMB IN THE STADIUM WERE HE WAS HOLDIN THE TAFSIR?

Rilwayne001: What does it mean? and how often does it work?

it mean there is christ in you, , THAT WHY JESUS SAY, IF YOU BELIEVE IN MY NAME, YOU WILL DO GREATER THINGS THAN THIS.

THE LAST TIME I SICK, IT WAS AROUND 1995 I THINK, IT WAS A TEREBLE SICKNESS, AFTER I GET WELL , I SAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS, I WILL NEVER VISIT HOSPITAL AGAIN, UPTILL TODAY I HAVE NOT VISITED HOSPITAL AS A SICK PERSON.

yazach:
This man
So shedding blood is the solution

do you know what it meant by shouting blood of jesus to the enemy?

frank317: is the God you are talking about here same as the all knowing and all powerful God? if he is all knowing why is he accepting a challenge from lucifer his creation?

why would God answer 'yes, because i am their creator' to lucifer only for him to be proven wrong by lucifer?

how can you write the above and still believe God is all knowing and all powerful?

how can the creation challenge the creator? or was lucifer not his creation?

and this does not answer the question... how did lucifer conceive evil thought?

from where did these thoughts come from?

if he was created perfect... how did imperfect evil thought come into his mind

if he was not created perfect how could a good and perfect God, devoid of evil create an imperfect being? what did he stand to gain? why is he angry at the imperfection he created?

Soo many question , not that I don't have answer to your question , but if I answer them, it will result to more more and more question, that why you don't know the affer of God, I believe there is prophecy God made at the beginning of creation is not in genesis because is not relevent to salvation,we are contented with the little we know about God, those who seek for more answer about God will not get it until the time is right,if you don't believe in God, do not blasphemy his name , I know it is the devil that make you do so because this dosent make sense at all , someone you are so sure did not exist why blasphemy his name? Is like a man insulted a baby when the baby is not yet born. Thank you for your time,peace.

chuxyz: I have been pondering over this time after time but have got no answers. Even so called pastors will only meander around the question and end up coming out with no answer. Now the question is this: If satan tempted man to sin against God, and we term satan the father of sin, then who tempted satan to also sin or rebel against God? Another Satan? If your answer is NOBODY, that means when we all have been raptured and gone to heaven, wont that same NOBODY tempt man to rebel against God again? And we will all start from square-one again back on earth. Please i need insightful answers only. Thanks.

Lucifer or satan was considered to be the
most beautiful of all of God's angelic
creations, the thing about lucifer was
though that he had an ego and he
thought that he should be just like God
too having all knowledge and all power. The angels of heaven loved and
worshipped God above all else and out of
egotistical jealousy Lucifer becomes
jealous and demands to be treated as God
and worshipped as God. But God denied
him this. Then God on the sixth day of creation
after creating man, announces to the
angels of heaven about his creation of
man. Lucifer asks God why he created
man and God states so that God could be
loved and worshipped by yet another being of His creation besides the angels.
Lucifer asks God will they love you
because you command it from them and
God answers yes because I am their
creator. Lucifer then challenges God and
states that if God expects man to love him and worship him, it must not be
because God commands it, man must
have the right to choose whether or not
to do so. Thus the rift in heaven and the creation
of "Free Choice" for man. God declares though that the angels of
heaven do not have this Freedom to
choose and that Lucifer and anyone who
would follow his ways of thinking must
leave heaven and live amongst man on
earth.

chuxyz: christianity forbids logic and common sense. It's all about thinking like an imbe.cile. I'm affiliated to such religion.

tank you for the insult. What religion do you practice? What book are you reading? Do you believe in heaven and hell?

Someone say, jealousy was not the reason satan rebel against God, it was envy and his ego.he don't want someone to control him, he want to be in charge.

chuxyz: God neither created Lucifer nor man perfect. Had it been he did, the world would have been perfect up till date. Don't you think it's an error from God's side?

you are not a christian, you are confused.

chuxyz: I'm not an atheist for i believe in God and His existence. I have been with lot of atheist and i see much reasons in their reasoning. I only have to believe in God by only accepting one fact in my heart - that God is imperfect. And i believe, if we have this in the religious believe, there would be little or no atheist in our midst. Why we have most atheist is because of the contradiction of a perfect God creating imperfect beings. I think God is imperfect but through praises(hyping) there was need for christians to overhype him. Of course, while praising someone you must over hype that person. My king in my village is called and praised with the name ogbuagu (lion killer) but i tell you this same man will scream when a cockroach jumps on his body. If you read Genesis 6:6, it indicated that God regretted ever creating man. Regrets can be attributed to mistakes, which can be attributed to imperfection. And one only regrets because he doesn't know what the future holds. That means God does not know the future. He never knew man will disappoint him and that's imperfection. If God had created satan and man perfect, they wouldn't have turned against him. But of course God is our big boss and father we must praise Him to get what we want. Now i have proved God is imperfect, let me prove there is God. Men, this one is hard o. But i will say for you to believe in imperfection of a God means that there must be a God at the first place. Likewise, if you believe in evil forces(juju or jazz), then there must be an opposite force which is concerned about good morals. For there to be voodoo means there has to be God. There must also be a wonderful designer of you and i. Don't mind Charles Darwin that said we evolved from ape. He is a liar cos we still have apes existing up till date yet none wants to evolve to human. Lol. There is God o and there are many proofs.

you are so confused trying to satisfy believer's and unbeliever's , noting we have in common with them.

God is a perfect bein, glory is the opposite of shame, whenever you see the word GLORY in the bible is to put to shame the devil and to glorified the name of God,for example the story of blind badtimus he was born blind but the people blame it on his parents and forefathers, but Jesus said, is not the fault of his parent but for THE GLORY OF GOD TO BE MANIFEST. TO PUT TO SHAME THE DEVIL. This mean God created us perfect but the DEVIL temper with somtin in the womb just to battle against God.

Martian: Now you're insulting me and I am very offended. May Voltron hack you to pieces on judgement day.

amen, if he is.
May God forgive you.

Martian: Look around you. The sun, the moon, the stars, plants, babies, baby goats, and Jollof Rice are some of the most convincing evidence of VOLTRON.

NOW YOU PROVE TO ME THAT VOLTRON ISN'T GOD.

I thought you are serious, thank you for your time,

Martian: What's so funny? Voltron is God and God is Voltron.

prove to me, voltron is god.

alexleo: Ok dear, this now takes us back to where we began and my statement earlier that Lucifer must have been created to serve a purpose. (Remember Romans 9:21- God is like a potter who makes some vessel unto honour and some vessel unto dishonour). Lucifer must have been created unto dishonour. i.e so that through his action God's judgement/wrath and mercy will be made manifest.

Now this brings us to the love of God that made Christ to come and die.

God knows his nature. He never developed this nature because of us. He cannot also change this nature of him because of us. He is eternal and everything about his nature is eternal. The best he could do for man who he has created with freewill is to warn him about the consequences of his choice with respect to his nature( this warning started from the beginning in the garden of Eden) and also the way of escape he has made for us- John 3;16. Its now left for us to choose which side of God that we want to experience. His love or his judgment/wrath. Its all about CHOICE. Nothing more. God is not wicked in any way. He is just. We are selfish, thats why we want him to change for us rather than we changing for him. It doesnt work that way. He remains the creator. He is in charge. If God had not made a way of escape for us then we would ve said he is wicked. If God had hidden this aspect of him from us and be telling us he is only a loving God, then when we see his wrath we would ve been justified to also say that he is wicked for not telling us the truth about him.

The truth is that we christians always avoid going deep in thinking about God to this level because we are afraid of his wrath. And thats why this question of the fall of Lucifer/fall of man keeps on confusing us about God. In that confusion we now tend to defend God and in that defence this obvious questions keep staring us in the face making the whole defence look silly before people. Yet God never told us to pretend about him. He never pretends about himself. Again we always have a one sided view about God. We, in our selfish nature always want to view God only as a loving God and we use the love to condemn his judgment/wrath whereas God NEVER told us that he is only a loving God. He wants us to have a balanced view of him. May God help us. Amen.

I conclude here. Let me know your opinion about this. God bless you.

God bless you, alex.

Rilwayne001: That was because they didnt believe despite seeing the clear proof...and what if he never cover there eyes would they still believe?



2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 English
Standard Version (ESV)
Therefore God sends them a strong DELUSIONS, so that they may believe what is FALSE, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

They believed before your god sent them delusions in other for him to punish them...what kimd of benefient god is this bible god..uhn?

Kindly tell me who is more violent between the bible god and Allah?

Tag: malvisguy212, francistony

2 Thessalonians 2:10-1321st Century King James Version (KJ21) 10 and with all the deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish,
because they received not the love of the
truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe
a lie, 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure
in unrighteousness. 13 But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, beloved
of the Lord, because God hath from the
beginning chosen you for salvation,
through sanctification by the Spirit and
belief in the truth.

Is this hard for you to understand? What a shame, so this is how you read the quran?

FrancisTony: Thanks. I am not an atheist and I never thought of being one.

My OP was making reference to 'herald9's' post.

feel free, remain bless.

FrancisTony: Don't worry.

I am currently in a confused state right now.

they hit likes to this coment, they love it because you are confused, so sad, to bad for mankind, I have noting to say bt just watch and pray.

If they succeed in confusing you the more to be athiest, what next? To mock God?

2JOHN 2:19
King James Bible They went out from us, but they were not
of us; for if they had been of us, they
would no doubt have continued with us:
but they went out, that they might be

us.

dejive: I Have been a muslim all my life,as much as I love my religion,found it difficult to practice,only time I cud remember devoting time to pray was (1)in my final year in d university,(2)when I was job searching...after I get what I want I stopped praying..

I need guidance on how to maintain a relationship with Allah,1st I believe knowledge is power,my understanding of d religion is as little as that of a 5yr old, I never attended quranic school,I believe knowing who God is,is wat one should seek b4 attempting to worship..now my question is how do I re-intergrate mysef in2 islam? What books can I read to help remove d veil I have covering my heart?..is it really hard to live as an average muslim?those going through similar situation are free to comment...share ur thought and advise!!!

GOD CREATED YOU IN HIS IMAGE, BUT SATAN DESCIVE MAN, AND HE LOST THE GODLINESS, YOU NEED TO ADOPT THE IMAGE BACK THROUGH JESUS CHRIST BEFORE YOU CAN BE SAVE, WHY JESUS? BECAUSE HE WAS BORN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

AS MANY AS WILL BELIEVE HIM, TO THEM HE GAVE POWER TO BECOME SON'S OF GOD.

herald9: Lolz
I may be agnostic but am not disrespectful...
My doubts only grew when i couldn't get an unbiased answers to my questions...
Am still loyal to the one at the top cause I was once a believer..

What if you are wrong and the muslims are right...what will mohammed do to you...
what if both you and Muslims are wrong what will Buddha do to you...
What if all of you are wrong!

This is harder than you think...
Imagine a creator...sending diseases sickness and death after his creations...then also sending people to convince us that he loves us...
Would you believe?
Where is the love?

when I was little boy I don't no how to pray, I don't go to church, I live a simple life, I mind my business, sometimes even when am right for the sake of peace, I accept bein wrong, until when I had an encounter with God, I see jesus, he called me his son. If am wrong, he would'nt have visited me. shalom

qstar: The creator would have to specially congratulate atheists, for using their brains, living their lives to the fullest and not for some dead Jew men.

This life afterdeath, how does it even make sense to you? After you've decayed, you'll wake up again and get a new body and start living in Planet Heaven or Hell?

Sounds absurd!

there is know God say the atheist, when the same atheist die, the same God will congratulate the atheist? You are more confused than a foolish man.

Atheist don't believe in anytin spiritualy, be honest to your self, you have never seen juju work in the village before?

okonja: If you too agreed the bold words, why would he allow someone to die in other to forgive others?,

the foundation adam lay was faulty, because satan descive adam, man need a new foundation to start,,a was created in the image of God,so man is Godly, before we start our new foundation we need to build it in a Godly manner, we need jesus to adopt the nature of Godliness, why jesus? Because he was the only man that was born of THE SPIRIT OF GOD, once you believe in him, you adopt the image God which God created you with from the beginning , no other prophet has the nature of GOD, they all have the form of Godliness, so my friend you need jesus.

herald9: Did they say they are afraid of death?

Qstar over to you...

Indirectly you are saying am gonna die because I stopped believing...
You are on a long thing...
His angels may be rejoicing now cause the eyes of another soul has been opened

my coment is easy to understand,one day it will all come to end, that how life is, next will be your afterlife, a lot of question in your mind"what if a wrong? How am I goin to face Him?all the bad tin I say about Him, what will happen? "

As for me, to live is christ, to die is gain. Mr henry, YOU WILL NOT DIE IN JESUS NAME.

herald9: am still in the agnostic stage...

Btw what do you mean by stay alive?

don't die as an unbeliever, stay alive.

As for me, moses, I got nothin to loose, death is no concern to me, I live everyday as my last day on earth,

can an athiest say the same?

herald9: Lolz...
Funny...
That was a slip of finger...i wanted to say believers...it was too late to modify cause i wz already quoted so i let it be...

But you can't crucify me for saying so...
I tried my best to keep up with the belief but each time i discovered that something was amiss...

So i made up my mind...if someone will be able to fix the missing pieces...i'll come back to be a full blown believer once again...

Meanwhile my name is Henry...its English not Arabic

you can be an athiest, make mistake, but just one advice,STAY ALIVE.

rinrin23: Well if you choose to believe that there is a God, then you have to also believe that he created all the situations that you have just listed.

Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

So are you saying there has to be a God to save you from a situation he created?

What you really need to contend with is whether or not you want to be associated with/worship this God.

Also decide if you want to pray your way out of these situations and thereby maybe strenghten your faith (either with a joyous 'miracle' from God or a sad 'its God's will')

OR

Will you strengthen your own character by accepting that life comes with ups & downs; dealing with the situation and thereby learning from it?

what the op mean is: when failure and somtin spiritual attack you while you are a sinner, there has to be God to talk to, just like when your husband or fiance broke your heart, there has to be someone to talk to,maby your friend.

PLEASE SISTER. DON'T BE AN ATHEIST.

herald9: I know all this sir...
But when arguing with a christian you have to actlike one

right from time, I know you are not a christian, since we chat in the christian chat box, about job and his children.I suspected you, that why I stop replying you.WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTH.
