Info6: 1. Sin makes people lose God's presence! Trials, tribulations, hard time .e.t.c could make christians sad, but not afraid! Reason is because the righteous are as bold as a lion. When a sinner go through the challenges of life, he is sad and at the same time afraid, but the righteous are not, they are as bold as a lion. David said, "though he walks through the valley of the shadow of death, he fears no evil". What sort of courage and boldness is that! That is God living in him.
Therefore, one of the difference between a man who has the presence of God abiding in him and one who doesn't have is, FEAR! The one that has could be sad, but not afraid, while the one that does not have is sad and always afraid.
2. God does not dwell in an unholy container! God is too rich to sleep on a mat stained with sin. If you are a sinner God will not manifest himself through you, He uses only clean vessels! Be he holy; for I am holy
I think you glossed over my questions and didn't answer them.
1. Does it mean Christian's who are sad do not have the Holyspirit?
2. In the bible God's presence is recognised by having extraordinary abilities eg Joseph could interpret dreams, Samson could single-handedly destroy armies, the disciples could perform miracles. So what extraordinary abilities do you have noticed that you possess since you have God's presence?
Info6: A man who has God's ever abiding presence enjoys what is God's kingdom, which are righteous, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. To have this righteousness of God, you must surrender your life to Christ, believe in his death, prepare for his coming... these differentiate you from the rest, because as a born again christian you don't smoke, you don't womanizer, you have the presence of God always abiding in you and to that end, you have the abundant joy of God boiling and swimming within you. "The wicked flee when no man pursues him." You have peace, you won't run, when no one pursues you..
Interesting. Do you mean Christians who are sad or womanise don't have Gods presence with them?
Also having the presence of God usually as in the bible connotes performing extraordinary feats like Joseph could interprete dreams and manage resources, Samspj alone could destroy armies, the disciples could perform miracles. What have you been able to achieve with the presence of God? Cos I believe we need a lot of those extraordinary capabilities especially in our time.

AFRIMMA 2020 LEADERSHIP AWARD - Don Jazzy (Nigeria)
He admits that Joe Biden won by rigging. He doesn't agree that he won free and fair. There's a difference cos he is still using every legal means to prove that there was rigging.
[quote author=MrPresident1 post=96057116][/quote]Your last paragraph Matthew 24:34, you do realise that how many generations have passed yet mo show? The disciples thought it would happen in their generation in fact Kesus told them their generation would not pass, yet nothing happened. This is arguably the 50th generation since then, just so you know.
sirjamesjnr: So I have this conversation with some group of like minds and these are what I could get from our discussion: On the negative side; 1.Abuse and manipulation 2.Disrespect and devaluation 3.Constant complaints and criticism 4.Feelings of perpetual inadequacy and failure to meet unrealistic expectations (I deal with that enough at work; I don’t want it at home) 5.Being ignored 6.Being cheated on 7.Being lied to about her level of sexual involvement with others (not in the sense of cheating, but potential exposure to STDs) 8.Being unloved, uncared about, and taken for granted 9.Not being allowed to make mistakes 10.Not being allowed to have my hobbies 11. Being treated like a piece of meat 12. Being expected to put up with his/her endless bullshit (which is usually deal-breaker stuff) while simultaneously not being allowed to be human myself 13. Being subjected to skewed perceptions of reality and overreacting to stupid shit 14.constantly wondering when he/she’s going to dump me for reasons that are unknown to me 15. Trying to change or “fix” me On the positive side: 1.Career- To achieve stability most people opt for an academic path with lasts till the mid-20s sometimes even till the late 20s. Post that, once they get that lucrative job/onsite opportunity they aspired for, they delay marriage. Marriage is considered a potential hindrance to professional success by many people. 2.Space- Everyone seeks independence, especially millennials. Long term relationship requires sharing of this space which people don't like People are warier and warier of :
3.Compromises- Marriage, by definition, is living with another person. This is bound to require adjustment which isn't easy
4.Commitment - This freaks youngsters today. When you're dating in college, commitment comes easy. But marriage brings along a different set of responsibilities which need a commitment of the highest order
5.The process of arranged marriage- This is a makes to the list purely because it shrouds the sanctity of marriage. Girls seeking millionaires and guys seeking miss universes just disturbs the definition and sanctity of the institution
6.With the advent of feminism, women are more self-reliant than they have ever been. Therefore they too don't seek a partner for financial independence and postpone relationships.
Mine: Career and schooling. My girl still has her masters to deal with. So ladies and gentlemen, why you are single? How can we close the circle?
One of the primary reasons Nigerian girls are still single today especially career women is simply due to the virus called Feminism that has plagued our generation.
fk001: Bashir El Rufai tweeted his picture and his igbo bride, while many people felicitate with him others believe it is just a political gimmick by his father towards his 2023 ambition.
Don't be stupid, love is unpredictable. Marriage is sacrosanct to Muslims so he won't sacrifice and sabotage his future just to satisfy Kanu and his IPOBians foolish assumptions that El Rufai is planning to run for 2023 elections when El Rufai himself has constantly stated that the next election should not be for a Northerner.
But IPOBians don't listen to reason which is why they keep dying in the hands of Wike and the military while Kanu their so called hero is in hiding.
The foolishness is almost a myth you won't believe.
bunto: Very true! They hardly support each other yet the people that support them are constantly insulted. I think Igbos are on a self destruct mission.
One thing I've come to understand is that igbos are either under a curse due to their past evils (karma being on point)
bunto: Very true! They hardly support each other yet the people that support them are constantly insulted. I think Igbos are on a self destruct mission.
Even they know among themselves that they are too proud and self-centred to support each other.
The only time they support one another is to destroy others just like IPOB.
Righteousness89: That's Philips Airline.. Thats the same manner Philip was transported from Gaza to Azotus after he Finished Ministering to the Ethiopian Enuch in Acts 8:26-40
JESUS Christ! The same , yesterday , today and Forever.. I Have seen GOD do incredible unbelievable things so this does not come as a Suprise.. With GOD, ALL things are Possible... The BIBLE is not a Story Book! You Believe or you don't Believe is irrelevant..
We Live in a Generation of Folks who only Profess GOD in mouth! They don't Believe what they Profess! That's why Devil ransacks their destinies anyhow...
I am one who Believes GOD with my Last Breath! I Have seen First the Wonder acts of God! I Have also Had a taste of Mysteries I Have seen a woman whose womb was Removed and shown to her and her husband. The same woman after the acts of God had a new womb Miraculously and has over 3 kids today..
I Have seen a Woman whose Private organ was sealed! Her parents disowned her because of the shame!That's how she was born! After an Encounter with GOD of Chosen! She is Happily Married today with 2 kids or thereabout.
I Have seen a Woman who was carried from st Nicholas hospital to the Church! Her case was too bad. She was like a decayed human . After Prayers, she slept off , only to wake up and see that Physical stitches were seen on her body after a divine operation and that's how she became whole.
My own Wife Had a terrible Bleeding Problem. I called on this Same God of Chosen . My wife Visited her in the Dream. The Angels open her up and brought our various things from her body that filled a basin. After that, that was the end of that Issue..
One of My Wife's cousin a young Medical Student and a Muslim. He had an accident and the brain landed on the road. The guy Kolo! The senses where Gone. He was just there in the Hospital looking up with no sense! Few days/ months I had shared a calendar which I had lifted up for Prayers in church to Them.When I was told, I told my inlaw to take the Calendar that I had Given to him to the hospital and lay on the head of the young doctor.. Either the same day or the next day , the doctor's came to check on him. The Doctor saw a Miracle and Screamed! According to Him the guy's brain has been mended.. Everyone was shocked including the one who I sent! That was how the young medical student who is a Muslim got well! He is super sound today!
I am sorry for whoever does not Believe God. Especially those who claim to be so called Christians!
The devil will use and Useless you and Make you a Caricature
Most righteous christian of our generation, more grace to your grace sir.
Mind sharing your works cos it is not by words or by saying everyone is hell-bound except you but it is by your works that justify the faith you're professing. What have you done as a disciple of Christ?
CalvinGaye: I am not set free by righteousness, no.
Lol! YES YOU WERE We were 100% Set free by the Perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS of Jesus Christ.
We are set free from the penalty of sin i.e. death and are given, instead, eternal life when we believe in Jesus Christ. That is the Salvation that has been given us.
Yes indeed! The Salvation was given to us freely BECAUSE of The Perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS we have which is in Christ Jehushua. It is a Gift from The Father God.
Righteousness, the obedience of the commandments that is Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, however, is how I qualify for a place in Heaven, instead of Hell(a place prepared for all those who believe in Jesus Christ but refuse to obey Him).
Yes indeed! Our belief in the eternal and Absolute Absolving Power(from Sin) of this Righteousness is the definition of our Salvation and faith And it is the Pedestal upon which our Life and VIRTUES as Christians is based upon. Hell is off the Picture coz one in Christ is like one already in heaven.(remember when he compared us to John the Baptist) We just have to keep growing in Christly Wisdom and Glory(with the help of the Spirit, and his WORD) and seeking more of the Kingdom(which we are part of already).
Condemned? But Jesus Christ said He has not come to condemn but to save. Anyways, I hold the belief that the antidote to sin is obedience.. obedience of the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ.
Understand my perspective first! I never said God condemned Sinners! I said He Condemned the situation of "The Power of Sin having Dominion over us" haven't you seen the scripture where it said that?? It says "Sin(and it's evil powers) shall not Reign(or dominate) your mortal Lives" There is a reason why Jesus said in Revelation that Only OVERCOMERS shall join him in his kingdom. So when you are a born again(in Christ), I think that scripture should also be true in your life despite all human flaws.
The bible is an intriguing religious book but it is to be taken as just that lest it makes you another religious fanatic.
While Christians claim the Holy spirit reveals things to them, Muslims likewise revelations in their own prayers too.
Irreligious people share similar claim but is called Intuition or gut-feeling.
jesusjnr2020: One day both the waiting of both dead and living to the "soon" would be over. It only takes one day.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
If only you knew how many passionate Christians preached this before you from even the time of the early disciples (who thought the coming would be in their time) to the missionaries who evangelised across nations. One thing they all had in common is that they, just like you thought it would happen in their time.
Nut as time always tells, the world is still standing.
Perhaps at this point I need to clarify you on the fact that most religions have their idea of doomsday, the Mayans even predicted it to be 2012 but here we are still.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has even predicted that the end time would happen approximately in less than 10 years, he even had a timeline graphic session to prove it.
But just like other religions, this has always failed. God himself said he won't destroy the world.
Jesus told his disciples it would happen before they preached to the next cities but still it didnt.
At this point you should probably broaden your horizon to know that Christianity is just another religion Mong myriads.
That said, Christian's prayed and prophesied vehemently that Donald Trump would win the just concluded election but apparently Joe Biden did. Just the same way Christiabs in Nigeria prayed Nd prophesied that Buhari would lose his 2nd term election including Otedepo, but alas he won.
Apparently either God doesn't speak to these men of God or God doesn't care about politics or religion is just a sham. Your choice.
peacekante: The Governor was asked by Dele MOMODU if he is igbo and he gave a blunt reply. "I am not" . He later went on to clarify the misunderstanding about his name and also the ikwere people link to igbo.
sodiqapril: Lol....scope man..the move is just official tinubu's salary will be paid unofficially, he controls toll gate, his son controls all the signage in Lagos, his daughter controls computer village, his puppet is governor, his stooge is speaker, Lagos state House of assembly, mc oluomo is dere....what else does he need? In fela's voice one day go be one day for those wey dy steal our money for this country one day go be one day..
But if you paid this much attention to your state and your governors, maybe your state won't be such a squalor.
Lagos indigenes are not complaining, so mind your fking business, goat.
SegFault: If you know how funny and stupid this piece of rubbish you wrote sounds, you'll retract into your shell, go and tell this to an indegene of imo state, the kind of slap you'll receive would put you out of action for a month.
Pearls to swine bro, wisdom to fools. It's sounds useless to you but meaningful to anyone with sense.
doksblog: The ill-picture of embattled senator representing Imo West senatorial district and former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Anayo Okorocha whose 7.9bn account has been frozen by the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crime Commission) has finally surfaced online.
The unusual picture of the current seating senator blazed the social media last weekend and both his supporters and critics are wondering if the owner of Rochas Foundation, Rochas Okorocha is battling ............
You're beginning to sound like that low life you call your hero, Kanu. How does this picture depict depression or etc?
He simply dressed to recognise the culture of the Northerners he visited.
Clearly you do not know anything about diplomacy. What Okorocha is doing for the east is beyond your comprehension. You need to respect him more than you do now cos safe for him the east would still be seen as a secessionist region which only means govt would neglect your states.
Granted he is also only human and might have misappropriated govt funds but I assure you that the youth of this day will perform worse than Rochas.
Any easterner that has even an iota of sense would be a supporter of Rochas cos he understands democracy and knows it is not by destruction like Kanu but by diplomacy like Rochas is doing.
Even Donald Trump has a lot to do but adopted diplomacy with North Korea, China and the rest of the world even though he has more military power than the rest of the world.
The problem is your lot don't do research. You simply see a catchy headline by a sensational news channel with ulterior motives and jump on their news.
They have always said that if you want to hide a thing from a black man just hide it in a book cos yall don't read.
Many are so blind to see and know what is playing out! They are not after Trump! They are after you! They are after the little Freedom you feel you have.. The Antichrist and his Foot Soldiers are so Desperately desperate to Come in.. Trump has Fought an Extraordinary good Fight as a Human being..
There is No More Time!! There is No More time!!! There is No More time!!! Humble yourself before GOD and Accept JESUS Christ..
Repent and Accept JESUS Christ Now!!
One man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist.
What is freedom to you is probably terror to another.
Which is why Religion has always divided the world.
ArrestWike: Lol, see foolish talk. The idiot thinks abroad is like Nigeria where soldiers will shoot anyone that comes close to him.
Wike, they will beat you up abroad and there is nothing you will do about it. In abroad, even politicians are pelted there how much more a nobody like you who won't even be recognized by any protocol.
I can only laugh at you.
E shock you!
Kanu has bitten more than he can chew on this one.
By the way IPOB is different from igbo. This should not be mistaken for a war against igbos but war against the igbo terrorist group called IPOB. IPOB even kills it's own fellow igbos who don't support their terrorism.
Chapter1vs6: Different people... Different mission
Naa Dem sabi their end goal
The Christian community believes Trump was chosen by God to restore righteousness to the US. Before his tenure, democrats especially through Obama literally turned US to the biblical Babylon. Legalising homosexuality, legalising abortion, sanctioning prayers in schools, etc.
So basically this church knows whatever happens in US affects the whole world.
immortalcrown: This generation makes so much effort to justify some unethical behaviours. This is not the major problem. The major problem is that the same society ridicules ethical norms to make the unethical behaviours more acceptable. People often say "If you want to marry, go for a woman that has a good character. Virginity does not matter".
Do not tell me to stop searching for a virgin as a wife. Stop telling me that virginity is just for a night while manners last for a lifetime. A mannerless virgin is better than a mannerless person that has been deflowered. A wise virgin is more precious than a wise person that has been deflowered. A beautiful or handsome virgin worths more than a beautiful or handsome person that has been deflowered. Bad character is not unique to virgins or non-virgins. So, what is your point?
You better tell me that some people lost their virginity under life-threatening circumstances. You better tell me that not all the persons that have lost their virginity are irresponsible. Stop sounding as if virginity is worthless. Stop sounding as if all the virgins have bad characters and all the people that have lost their own virginity have good characters. Stop using constructive statements to encourage and justify sexual immorality. If you cannot identify a virgin that has a good character, you cannot identify a deflowered person that has a good character.
If you're a virgin too then by all means it's ok to prioritize virginity in your partner. Otherwise, you're just a selfish bastard. Just saying.
Akube1z: If the youths are to lead this country in the nearest future and to have a brighter future .
Here are six importants things they should avoid now .
1) Disobedience to God's commandments and will .
2) Having excess love for money and fortunes.
3) Taking hard drugs and alcohol.
4) Having lusts and fornications .
5) Avoid Corruption .
6) We must not love the things of the world , But have the Fear and Love of God in our Hearts. And we should be humble.
As God blessings in your life increase you'll realise that your standard of living increases too.
The question becomes should you even have love of money at all since that is scripturally the root of all evil. Or how do you differentiate between love of money and excess love of money?
At the end of the day, the bible says no one is good except God. Meaning you'll have your weaknesses, just have some level of self control and fight the greed.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. note
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Verse 15 is my key verse. Will your name be found in the book of life.
Don't play light on this revelation. It will come to pass.
What qualifies your name to be there?
1. You must be born again. 2. You must live by God's word consistent with his provisions in Christ Jesus. 3. You must keep your garment clean. Be quick to repent when you fall into error. 4. You must walk in love. 5. Learn to share the gospel of our Lord Jesus with the lost.
It's not about the church you attend. It's about Jesus. Give your life to Christ now and your name will be there.
The Lake of fire is real and it is unbearable torment. Save yourself from the coming wrath of God.
Do you know that even in the bible only Jesus' name can be said to be in the book of life because no human is perfect.
Paul said "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
"And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me..."
This consolidates the fact that no one is good except God according to Jesus himself. "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good--except God alone.
flashlink: Exactly! Look at how apt, articulate and informed he talked; I've not heard any Nigerian legislator talk in such educated manner for over 5 months now. Every thing he said was and still is a fact, the pure truth. He is a hero agitating for a just, righteous and noble cause.
The greater the noise is, the earlier the referendum.
Apparently you're smoking the same shit he's smoking.
Learn to know the difference between fact and opinions without proofs.
