You dey wait biblical evidence for smoking, ask yourself first if there's anything like smoking in biblical times.

To answer this question, ask your self if smoking is morally good, I believe you personally are able to answer this wisely if you're Christian.
Even though some(a few) Christian may not see anything wrong with smoking, I will object because that stuff is extremely harmful to the body, why will someone take something that is clearly written that "Smokers are liable to die young" and could cause cancer in the long run.
So yes, I will advise Christians should stay away from it.

OP is not necessarily talking about smoking cigarettes but weed.

AnAbnormalHuman:
Look for the meaning of DEBAUCHERY.
And find areas where the Bible talks about it.

You can come back and tell us whatever you find.

Apart from Alcohol, what's the biblical evidence for the rest?

victorclean:
And all the Palestinians are koranic descendants of prophet Muhammad?

Bruh I'm referring to present day Israel and people. I really don't care about the head slammers.

That person no look like who don well o

True

SapaProMax:
I think the topic is explanatory enough. Christians around the world should go and do a little research on the persecution of Christians in Israel. The way the Nigerian government ignores cult wars in Nigeria is the exact same way the Israeli government turns a blind eye on Christian persecution and extra judicial killings of Christians.

God is for all mankind not the 1947 UN enforced nation of Israel. Let us be guided.

The funny thing about all this madness is that almost all the people occupying present day Israel are not even original biblical Jews. They are mostly Gentiles (non Jews). I posted this on Victoria Orenze ( gospel musician) comment section on her hypocritical post supporting Isreal on Instagram and she blocked me lol😂😂

Soo sad

Stupid

Good work friend. And I concur with the notion that "... his infinite plans will translate into a living wonder..."

The word of God is the grand design of time, space and eternity. In these last days, the LORD GOD has put his word in our hearts and in our mouths, that we should be the living epistles of his grand plan. Small wonder that Paul in his letter to the Romans espoused "... The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart" (Romans 10:7-9). God has set his word and His Spirit as a covenant unto the body of Christ, the church. In the book of Isaiah chapter fifty-nine, the Bible says, "As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth..." (Isaiah 59:21).

Friend, your assertion is an idea whose time has come. And there's no stopping it now. I believe, in these last days, that we are living out the prophecies of Joel: the Spirit of the Lord is poured out already unto all flesh. Our sons and daughters shall and do prophesy; our old men shall dream dreams. And our your men shall run with the vision.

Well done, and keep it up!

Amazing submission brother!

Hey bro. I'm so in need of your view on this my thread I created. Sorry for intruding

Friend, all the four gospels proved,unequivocally, that Jesus, though born a divine human being, received the Spirit, the anointing, when he was baptized of John in Jordan's river.
Mark 1:9-10
9. And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
10. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descended upon him.

Notice that text says, "... The Spirit like a dove descended upon him."

Act 10: 38
38. How God anointing Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Notice how the anointing came before healing.

Hey brother, I just mentioned you in my new thread. You may like what you see

jesusjnr2020:
A similar thing happened in the days of Noah.

Out of the millions of people upon the face of the Earth, it was just eight people that survived the flooding in the those days.

This was despite Noah preaching to the people to warn them of the imminent flooding.

He did this for over a hundred years, yet no single person, not even one, came to repentance, therefore when the flood came they were all destroyed by it.

Jesus said that what happened in the days of Noah and Lot, where only a few were saved is going to repeat itself on the last day.

Luke 17:26-30 (KJV)

And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Therefore it shouldn't surprising how distracted people were today with the things of the world and mocking those who warn them to repent so they can escape the damnation to come.

They did the exact same thing in the days of Noah and Lot, when they tried to warn them about such things.

So it's obvious that out of the billions on Earth, only a few that will still be able to escape these things, despite all the warnings.

The worst case scenario is to be as Lot's wife, who could be likened to Christians who begin the journey but become distracted by the things of this world, so couldn't make it at the end. Hence Jesus stern warning us to "remember Lot's wife".

So for those who think many were going to make it into heaven, they should think again because Christ Himself taught us that the last day shall be as the days of Noah and Lot where only a few persons escaped destruction.

He also said that the road that lead to life is narrow, and only few shall be able to find it. Matthew 7:14, Luke 13:24.

Hence why we should "strive" to be among the few that would make it on that day.

God bless.

Are you really a believer in God because you love him or doing so because of the fear of hell? Honest question

Btw, if the Lord decides to impute iniquity, do you really think you will stand because of your preconceived "works" and "holiness"?

Ocnovakmichael I really need your view on this.

Asher!

The Lord Most high of old and new out of his infallible will chose to reveal his word in the scripture primarily for Humanity to come to know him, his power, grace and sanctification through learning of his written word (scripture). Without the scripture, humanity won't have the ability (except a few) to really know his salvation plan even before the world began.

However, this end times, Having completed his saving plan for human kind through the word incarnate (Jesus Christ) . The Almighty has decided to do a new thing out of his infinite wonder. There won't be need for the scripture anymore but rather all his infinite plans will translate into a living wonder needing no written expression as it has already been fulfilled as promised.

Praise be unto Him forever. Hallelujah.

Heaven on earth is now begining...

Introduction

On March 29th, 2023 I sat down on my reading chair with my Bible in hand about to read, when suddenly my eyes got fixated on Psalm one hundred and thirty-three verses one through three. It’s like the letters of my Bible became bright, bold and lucid; and I began to hear a voice coming out of my spirit. It was so clear that I had to adjust my chair in order to hear, not just listen, and understand what the Spirit is saying. From that moment, the Lord began to teach and to explain to me the power in corporate anointing. The Lord said to me, “There is a collective anointing resident in his body, the church, when believers come together. He said the anointing has always been in and with the church. But the anointing will not manifest until the church is in unity and in faith.” The Lord said to me, “This was why I prayed the Father that the church may be one.” “And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are” (John 17:11).

The Lord gave me two instances, which I will discuss later, in the book of Acts where the corporate anointing was in manifestation as a result of the church being in unity and in faith. The first was in Acts chapter two verses one through four. And the second was in Acts chapter four verse twenty-three through thirty-one. In both instances, the church was in unity and in faith, and the anointing was tangibly felt, seen, and evident among them.

In this book, we will discuss how we can benefit from the corporate anointing which reside with and among the body of Christ, the church. We will discuss how the church could increase this anointing by teaching the meat of the word and ministering to the Lord. We will also discuss how the church, collectively, could experience a deeper anointing by having every member receive and be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

In section two, we will discuss the reward of every ministry given to the body of Christ by the Lord Jesus; and how we can benefit from each one of them.

Bear in mind that the corporate anointing resident in the church has been with the church since time immemorial. It was with the church in wilderness, the children of Israel, in the Old Testament, and it is still with us the New Testament church. The anointing is responsible for the edification, multiplication, relevance, strength, and authority of the body of Christ on earth today, without which the church will be just another regular human institution. “Then had the church rest throughout all Judea, Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied” (Acts 9:31).

This book is written to enlighten the eyes of our understanding on the eminence of the corporate anointing resident in the church. Our adversary tried to no avail to stop the publication of this book, but the hand of the Lord had destined its fate. One night after I had written a section of this book, the Lord impressed me in my spirit to immediately transfer a copy from my laptop onto my phone. And after I had that done, the next morning my computer hard-drive suddenly crashed. But praise be to God that I had inside information before the adversary crashed my hard-drive. Scripture says: “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth… he will shew you things to come” (John 16:13).
I strongly believe the church will experience the depth and height of God’s power when she understands the corporate anointing resident within her. It will be said of the church, “These who have turned the world upside down are come hither also.”

FOJEM:
Jesus would speak to the sinner while alive. Pastor Tunde Bakare is just as guilty as you and I, because we never made any attempt to personally preach the Gospel to Morbad when he was alive.
Actually, Pastor Tunde Bakare should be seeking forgiveness from God, and the same applies to you and I.

And you think Mohbad is ignorant of the gospel? Or hasn't accepted Christ ? Funny Nigerians.

JetApartment:
Are you ok? What is the relationship between what I typed and your response?

He may be on drugs.

zomby:
A man of God doesn’t castigate, he doesn’t judge, and he doesn’t bash…he mostly consoles, embraces and encourages others when they are down, when they are wrong or when they’re faced with challenges.

Pastor bakare is not a man of God.

He obviously isn't a man of God! I can attest to that!

justt:
You mean that Pastor Bakare should have celebrated him? The pastor said nothing but the truth and you are sad because, possibly, you do not have the spirit of God in you and you do not belong to Jesus if at all you claim to be a Christian. So sad!

If you belong to Jesus, your sadness shouldn't have been about what pastor Bakare said, which is very correct, but on the fact that a believer, someone who was once in the Church later joined the devil and of course got served!

That I said he got served does not in anyway mean I'm rejoicing over him or I'm happy the way he died, God forbid. I can never rejoice over the dead of a sinner. When, for whatever reasons, you leave God to romance the devil, things like this cannot but happen. It's like someone putting his hands in fire and he gets burned. It's expected.

You said he showed his love for God in his secular songs, like seriously? He loves God and left the Church? Do you mean all it takes to please God or have his approval is praising him or giving something to him? No, God is not mocked and he cannot be bribed. If at all God should be bribed, it will be by living for him in holiness and righteousness, not by romancing with the devil! It's not what we give that God is interested in but who we are. So, if you as an individual is not acceptable or pleasing to God, whatever you do or give is not acceptable to him. In fact the bible says that the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, Prov 15:8

I'm putting this here because of the younger ones, especially those who currently sing in the choir/Church but their eyes are on secular music. The devil has nothing to offer than dead. What relationship does light have with darkness? This was well captured by Paul in 2 Cor 6:14-17:

14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever?

16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: [" I will dwell in them] [And walk among them.] [I will be their God,] [And they shall be My people."]

17 [ Therefore] [" Come out from among them] [And be separate, says the Lord.] [Do not touch what is unclean,] [And I will receive you."]

May God help us with the bunch of church-goers we have today who called themselves christians, but really they are nothing but mixed multitudes.

All this multitude of words yet no sense. Is the pastor holy? No! Is he sinless ? No! Does he associate with bad company? Yes! Which includes our evil politicians! Even Jesus said that harlots will go to heaven before all this self righteous clowns. Also, just because you don't get to see all he does secretly ( Only God knows) doesn't mean he doesn't have a skeleton in his closet!
Sinners judging sinners for sinning differently lol
Try to be more logical next time. Thanks.

Well said

Here is a snippet of the lyrics of "Father "Abraham

Rip Imole child of the most high.

limcar:
even the jesus christ matrix137 the fool is mentioning abhors sin and sinful habits despite rolling with sinners. Its not hypocrisy to condemn sinners. Nobody can see God unless he's holy. Moses saw God cos he was a godly man. Isaiah saw God cos he was faithful. God is not an supporter of immorality as prevalent in our society. Lets call a spade a spade

And the pastor is holy? Pastor Tunde Bakare? Okay o

adioolayi:
All what you have said about some pastors here are correct.

Does it validate the assertions that the late singer found himself in not so good Association...the answer is Yes. ...and that's the point here.

You left out my own valid assertion, who does the pastor associate with, good people? Including our evil politicians?

Spiff20:
Just shut up already. Your rant stinks of illiteracy and sentiments for the dead. You should have kept this opinion to yourself because, clearly it sounds dumb. I feel like throwing up already.

Just say you hate the truth, I'll understand.

Kaytixy:
you want to respond to somebody but you ended up spewing rubbish.

In every nonsense, there is Sense. Abeg go sit down if you have nothing reasonable to say.
