Kobojunkie:
I will get back to your other thoughts later on, as I am more curious as to why you are still asking this question even at this point.

1. Pretty much the same you, as a child, chose to submit yourself in obedience to your parents even when you did not have clear understanding as to the reason behind many of their demands/commands.

2. Yes, the righteous men of Old did it in order to become Holy - in compliance to the Law. Abraham, Isaac, Moses, John the Baptist, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Anna, even Jesus Christ, including His disciples did it.

I will actually like to meet you.
I believe our engagement now goes beyond a faceless platform.
Some communications/transmissions are better in person.
Hopefully someday soon.

We are saying virtually the same thing, yet there's a slight difference in our doctrine which has created a rather wide dichotomy in our understanding.

Only the Spirit of Truth and Revelation can help us here.

Wisdom is useless/counterproductive without understanding. And knowledge puffs up without Wisdom.
Adequate knowledge and understanding produces True Wisdom.

This is going to be a deliverance/breakthrough for either or both of us.

Grace multiplied to us all.

PS: The Father did not say Only He will be our Teacher.
He simply said He will be our Teacher.

And how He does that is through the Holyspirit indwelling and Ministry of the church viz Apostles, Prophets, Pastors, Teachers, Evangelists.

So we all need mentors for a season who become fellow brethren as our iron continues to sharpen iron.

You mean churchgoers and not Christians.

It is churchgoers whom Satan likes.

I mean those who call themselves Christians.
Everyone who goes to church/building is a church-goer. But not all church-goers are Christians.

We are believers first, then disciples until eventually we grow to become Christians.
We are not the ones who should call ourselves Christians, it is others who should call us Christians as it happened in Antioch, as they begin to see the life/fruit/likeness of Christ in us.

Kobojunkie:
1. To understand why the armor does not work for you, you first need to understand the "what" of the armor and the "who" of the armor.

In Ephesians 6, Paul supposedly instructs his audience to put on, what he refers to as the "full armor of God" without necessarily indicating the how of this feat. This has led many in the religion of Christianity to assume that it is indeed possible for them to clad themselves in this very armor, even without directly paying attention to the teachings of Jesus Christ, the one who is the Gospel and Law in the Kingdom of God — the Redeemer who comes to save.

In his letter, Paul mentions the full armor as being necessary but only goes on to mention only about six aspects of the armor. Let's in fact explore what God said through His prophets regarding the armor of God and also the one who wears it.

■ Starting in Isaiah 59, the prophet Isaiah informed us that the one who is in fact adorned with the full of armor of God is the Lord, the Redeemer, Himself.
The Lord, our Redeemer, is the one who wears the
○ Helmet of salvation
○ The breastplate of righteousness
○ The Sword of Spirit
○ The Uniform of Punishment
○ The Coat of Strong Love
■ In Isaiah 52, Isaiah further informed us that the Redeemer wears
○ the shoes of Peace.

■ In Isaiah 11, the prophet also informed us that the Lord, the King, is the one who is clad with the
○ Belt of Truth

■ And in Psalm 91, we are instructed by David to make the Lord our refuge and our fortress for it is in fact His faithfulness — not ours — that is our shield and buckler
○ Shield of Faith
The one who in fact does the fighting against the enemy on our behalf and wins all the time, meaning we have no battles to fight so long as we are under the Lord's refuge and fortress.

What all this means is that one cannot literally put on the armor of God as people like most in the religion of Christianity like to pretend a possibility. So, how does one then go about getting the armor to be on his side of things? Well, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer Himself, said in John 15 that He will abide in those who abide in Him.
To put on the armor of God means to get on the good side of the one who is in fact clad in the full armor of God, Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ said t do that is to love Him

So, as you can see, from the Prophets, the armor of God is worn by the person of Jesus Christ, and not by your person. The reason why "the armor" does not work for Christians is that they abide by the doctrines and traditions of men(and their many religious leaders) — lies— and not by Jesus Christ, the one who dorns the armor. You cannot have the protection of the one who wears the armor if you refuse to submit yourself in obedience to His every teaching and commandment.

2. Religious rituals will never cut it as far as abiding in Jesus Christ. You folks seem to spend an obscene amount of your time claiming you study Satan, when you would be better off spending all of that time focused instead on Jesus Christ, the one who you pretend you wish to benefit from.

Are you formerly a pastor?
Or did you go to school of theology?
I am sincerely curious.
You have a good knowledge of Scriptures and you have spoken well here.

I honestly have stopped reading your comments.
I didn't even know that I was replying you last night. I may not have.

Because as the scripture advices,
Iam guarding my heart with all diligence for out of it springs rhe issues of life. Prov 4:23

I am careful what seeds/ideas/leaven/doctrines I expose myself to.

I am working out my own salvation with fear and trembling. Phil 2:12

Even though I know this, that;
I am kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:5

And I am confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in me will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Phil 1:6

I believe Isaiah and Ephesians have highlighted the What and How as you have listed.
And you have also rightly said it is through submission to the teachings and obedience to the commands of Jesus Christ.

The questions you should ask now are;

1. How do you submit yourself in obedience to every teaching and commandment of Jesus Christ?

2. Can a man obey all His commands?

Chlldren's Day Service
Date: 28th May, 2023
Message Satan's Favorite Kind of Christians
Pastor Segun Keku

There are some Christians that are Satan's favorite type of Christians.
I pray we will be Jesus' favorite type of Christians.

Eph.6.11-13 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Why is it that the armour seems not to be working in the life of Christians?

Paul reminds us that our battle is not with flesh and blood.
It is important for you and I to prepare for the Battle.
The devil goes around like a roaring lion looking for whom to devour.
The person that wants to destroy you will never tell you. They will be doing it secretly.
But when you are fervent in prayer Christ fights your battles.

God has shown us the armour
1. Belt of Truth
2. Breastplate of righteousness
3. Shoe of the gospel of Peace
4. Shield of Faith
5. Helmet of Salvation
6. Sword of the Spirit.

Your shoe, when last did you put it on?
When last did you preach the gospel of peace?
Helmet protects us. Is your helmet on?

Every month has its own arrows.
As we go into the new month put on the whole armour.

Qualities of Satan Favorite Type Of Christians
Ephesians 6:10, Eph 5:14-17
1. They are weak in the Lord.
2. They come to church but they don't come to Christ.
3. They learn but do not come to understanding of what they learn.
4. They go back to continue in sin.
5. They have the form of godliness but deny the power there of.
6. They want time for enjoyment before repentance. Christians that preach there is still time for repentance in the future.
7. Sleeping Christans. Wake up!
8. They believe what will be will be.
9. They are unwise.
10. Christians that panic in the face of challenges.
11. Christians that worry.
12. Christians that complain.
13. Christians that cannot stand on the Word of God.
14. Ignorant Christians. Ephesians 5:6

Some churches preach that you can enjoy yourself now where as the scripture says, Today is the day of Salvation, tomorrow may be too late. Redeem the time because the days are evil.
People are dying everyday.
Because everything looks good now does not mean the days are not evil or things are okay.

There are 2 kinds of people;
1. "I cannot stand proverty. I want to be rich."
The Lord will make them realise that in every riches there are challenges. The rich also cry.

2. "I don't want to look for evil money. I want to stay and wait for God's time." They will also face challenges.
There is time for everything. Eccls 3.

Are you ready to wait when the time to slow you down comes?
When there's no money can we still think straight? Or do you lose faith?

What makes you a Christian is your ability to call on God in the time of trouble. Ps 118:10

If one is weak in time of trouble the devil will destroy such. Prov 24:10
The devil wants you to lose faith in God and in prayers. He brings situations and can surround you with challenges.

1. When there is no one to help you, Be Strong.
2. When challenges come, Be Strong.
3. When there's no food to eat, Be Strong.
4. When sickness comes, Be Strong.

When such challenges come look up to God. Call upon Jesus. Jesus is the solution to every problem, even when you cannot see Him, Jesus is working.

Do not be an ignorant Christian. There are so many false teachers.
You will be able to identify them by their enticing words. They know they will have followers when they preach enticing words.

Prove what is acceptable to God.
When you know the original you will know the fake. You will know the Truth.
Stand firm with the Scriptures.
If in the last days many will be deceived, should you be among?
Strengthen yourself in the LORD.
The bible does not say be strong in your self, your ability, your intelligence. It says "Be strong in the LORD. "

There are 2 ways to be Strong in the Lord;
1. Be Strong in the Lord and the Power of His Might.
2. Put on the Whole Armour of God.

Focus more on number 1. Be Strong in the LORD first of all. Otherwise your armour will not be strong.
A fearful soldier will run from battle no matter the armor he puts on. Even when he has not started the battle he has already confessed that he will lose.

Know why you are in church.
-You're coming to church because of Christ and Eternity.
-Because God created us to worship him and we have no choice.
-If you do not worship God you will automatically worship the devil.

While you do all the church activities and Fasting and etc, are you strong?
So many start well but because of their strength is not enough, they stop or become weary.

Whatever you're doing for the church you are sowing into your future, you're not helping the pastor.
Pastor testifies of how he has always been working for God and not for his Pastors. He works with his whole might knowing it is on to the LORD and not to man. And the District Pastor made him the Pastor in charge of their whole pastor to the surprise of many.
When you're strong in the Lord you will be lifted beyond your expectation.

Some of us use our common sense with God.
We forget that some thing can be politically right but spiritually wrong.
So many pastors are looking for position from Distrrict pastors.
When God promotes you, he gives you the capacity.

Don't look for position or man's reward. Wait for God's reward. Be pleased doing the work of God.
If you're not strong, you'll go no where.
A strong Christian believes in the Strength and Word of the LORD even over his life.

Everyone will write examination before the Lord. Going through challenges as a believer is part of your exam.
Pastor speaks the truth because he does not want to be condemned before God for not speaking the truth.

Challenges will come and go.
Do not be afraid of challenges.
Do not look at material things.
Do not rely on your bank account.
Do not rely on your connections or other powers.
Don't look right or left.
Look on to the LORD, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
Rely on God alone. When you rely on God alone, your helpers will be prospering.
As you rely on God, God makes provision for your helpers. God opens favor to you.
When you rely on God, your solution is simple.
When you turn to wrong people they will make matters worse and add more fear to your problem. They get you desperate and lead you wrongly.

We cannot battle Satan with our own strength. Do not boast in your prayer ability. Devil is not afraid of anyone or any pastor. It's all about Jesus.
It is only by being strong in the Lord that we can access His Great Power.

How can you say you are strong in the Lord when you hardly read the bible?
How can you say you're strong in the Lord when you're interpreting the Word of God your own way?

Come to me and I will give you rest should not be interpreted that we should not work.
Which bible verse can you use to fight the devil when you have the wrong interpretation?

Jeremiah 28:1-16 Beware of False Prophets who make you believe a lie.
For Christians not to have the form of godliness and deny the power thereof, you have to be strong in the Lord.

How can you be strong;
1. When you don't come for bibles study and prayers.
2. When you do not meditate on the word of the Lord
3. When teachers are perverse. We are in the last days.

Rebuke when necessary. Those who do not want to hear sound doctrine hate to be rebuked and they turn to false prophets who teach false doctrines and fables 2 Tim 4:1-5
False pastors target your finances. It's not about you it's about themselves. Once you are no longer useful for them they turn to some one else. Turn away from them. 2 Tim 3: 1-8
They can quote Scriptures but are evil.

Paul was able to say confidently that he did not owe or rob anyone.
God will judge us all.

Even the strongest man needs to be strong in the Lord.
Let no one think he has arrived.
The same temptation that can take away a member can take away the pastor. Do not lose guard.
Even Jesus prayed fervently and submits to the Will of God.

No matter how you shout, those that will perish will perish. Devil does evangelism more. So a lot of people do not want sound doctrines.
Weak Christians are the prey/victims of the devil.

David killed giants. When challenges came David knew how to strengthen himself in the Lord.. 1 Sam 30:6
Do not let your emotions control or trouble you no matter the challenges you're going through.
Don't die, stay in the Lord. Don't go to any other power. Know that there's power in the name of Jesus.

Some pastors are the ones teaching Christ what to do. When God gives instruction, they tell God a better way to do things. A more sophisticated and modernised way. Phil 4:13, Rom 8:38-39, Ps 20:7

When things get tough, strengthen your self in the Lord.
No matter what is giving you fear, strengthen yourself in the LORD.
Wait on the Lord. The Word of the Lord can never fail.

Ps.27.1 - The LORD is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

Do not entertain fear.

Jesus Christ is more than able to do abundantly above and beyond what we need. Ephesians 3:20

JoeyNaza:
Will they see this one. Tinubu that sat and waited for Ooni to come and greet him nko ?

If you don't know that some of these people are chronic congenital hypocrites then you're new to Nigeria

I am poised to say all this much ado about nothing.
However this much fuss is quite significant.

The episode that transpired between Pete Edochie and the Ooni of Ife is the genesis and the root cause of the chaos that has plagued and continues to plague humanity- when cultures clash aka culture shock.

To the Igbos, bowing down to a fellow man is idolatry.
Their culture only recognises bowing down to God or gods.

To the Yoruba, bowing down is a gesture of respect and honour which communicates good manners and a sign of being well-cultured from a good home.

Here in lies the dilemma.
When a yoruba bows to the igbo, he is considered inferior.
And when the igbo fails to bow to greet an elder yoruba, he is considered proud/arrogant and "uncultured" from a yoruba's tradition.

Therefore the Igbo going about in a yoruba land unwittingly elicits pride and dishonor and by inference bad will among the yorubas.

What then is the conclusion?
Let's be cautious of our traditions and cultural norms and biases.
The bible is a unifying culture that easily settles these disputes, if in deed we have submitted to the Lordship of Christ and His Word.
The bible says we should not worship man but God.
And it does not speak against bowing to fellow man as a sign of respect and honor.

God help us that through this episode we will come to a better understanding and this would help foster our socio-cultural integration and help unify us a diverse and strong entity.

I really didn't want to go to Uk
I love my life here in Nigeria tho things are hard.. it's still my home

Going to abroad is not my plan. My mother thinks I'm possessed by spirit that want me to not succeed.

honestly I don't want to move to Uk.
I know how hard life can be in 9ja but i still love this country.
Mumsi says she is really dissapoinmented in me for staying back.
Did I do anything wrong?

This is where parents some times get things wrong. God help us all.
When the child especial one old enough to make a reasonable judgment of right and wrong,like and dislike, expresses their strong conviction about some thing, parents need to be extra sensitive.

My brothers soul has left Nigeria since his secondary school days but his body is stuck here in Nigeria.
And because of that he has been quite anti-social and reclusive. This is someone who was a life/force. His zest for life was inspiring and infectious. Thank God things are picking up for him now.

OP, your soul has chosen Nigeria because deep down it knows what you need is not UK right now. You may visit later but not now.
Plead with your parents especially your mom.
Parents usually want what's best for their children, albeit through the lens of their own ideals. Which may not and usually is not your own ideals/dreams.

Nigeria will be very prosperous again and I believe you certainly enjoy the good of the land in Jesus name. Amen.

This actually actually quite instructive.
Here Jesus was telling Peter and by extension, the rest of us how we would die daily.

The journey of a believer is to;
1. Learn the leading of the Holyspirt and to yield/obey_follow.
2. The Holyspirit will lead us to places, situattions and revelations through scripturs that would expose our flesh and it's dominion over us.
3. Our Obedience to the Holyspirit would help us gain dominion over our flesh.
4. Gaining dominion over our flesh is how we grow in Christlikeness.
5. Till the old man becomes crucified and dead. Then the new inner man becomes seen- Christ in us!, our hope of glory.

Indeed, it is only God who can approve a man righteous and He made clear that only those who seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) and then God's righteousness, will be considered for approval by Him. As Jesus Christ made clear, without God's righteousness you can't have all these things — the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(including answers to prayers) — added onto you. So, you better get to work and stop thinking you can magic your way into God's righteousness.

You speak as if I need your approval to know I'm saved.
You speak accusations.
You speak condemnation.

Only a self-righteous person bears such fruit.
I seek only the approval of God not of men especially not one from a faceless platform like nairaland.

If you have given up on being a Christian and making heaven, thaf is your own choice.
Let others follow Christ as he leads them after all He died for us, not you. He redeemed us, not you. He is the author and finisher of our faith, not you.

If we did not save ourselves, let the one who saved us continue to lead us, teach us and judge us.

Salvation is personal. Work out your own salvation, let me work out mine. And let everyone work out theirs, with fear and trembling as it is written.

You should find now that nothing you say or do can separate those who God loves from the love of God.

I opened this pseudonym account some years back after I backslided.

I had been very vocal of my salvation and journey as a Christian via my original account-pressplay411.
So it came as a shock that I could backslide, worse still I could not explain the reason for my backsliding. I did not fornicate or commit any of the obvious sins, I just felt a spiritual drought- I stopped experiencing the presence of the Holyspirit in my life.

I struggled with this for months, but instead of getting better, it was getting g worse. When I noticed I had started rubbing off my doubts on those close to me, I decided it was best I left the church for a while. Luckily the nature of my job allowed me to travel so my pastors and church friends mostly assumed I was on official capacity as usual.

I isolated myself and eventually went back to my vomit- drinking, masturbating, fornicating, etc. I even started smoking loud, but smoking was never my thing.

It only got worse with time. This would continue for about 3 years. I enjoyed the first half of backsliding. But the next half was hell on earth. Everything came crashing, including relationships, job, business, family etc. I hit rock bottom when my health could no longer sustain my lifestyle. I started to develop liver issues cos I had lost control over drinking.
I felt hopeless.

I would attempt to go back to church occassionally but it just didn't feel the same. The darkness had a claim to my soul that the light could not extinguish. Or so it seemed.

My mom, my angel was depressed. It hurt to put her through all this. Yet I had no way out.
The thought of her son drifting off before her eyes was unbearable. I knew I had to try for her. She cried, I cried.
She would eventually invite me through her friend to MFM and I agreed. Let me give it one more try.
I went through a 3 day prayer and fast at the prayer city. Got back home feeling something had happened but scared I needed to find a good MFM church to help me continue in the faith before I sank back into my habits. But God had other plans.

I actually didn't get to settle in one on time and unfortunately fell yet again.
Just as I was about losing hope, I ran into a neighbour who invited me on the road to join him for bible study he was going and I obliged.

I would eventually end up in the small church close to my house. I found peace and hope there and the rest they say is history.

I rededicated my life to Christ early January this year and God has been faithful.
Please thank God for me. I moved to tears that I can find salvation once again.
The story of the prodigal son hits different when i read or hear it now.

I don't know if anyone reading this has lost hope in life, people, God, etc. Please know that hope is all we have. Just have hope.
My hope is in Christ. And he saved me once again.

Please thank God for me.
Jesus Saves.
Hallelujah!

God1000:
Such hypocritical talk, and she's acting in a show that promotes western culture

While she's actually right about the Xmas controversy, I however think she's just seeking attention.
Let everybody enjoy their holz their way. If you want to celebrate the spirit of Christmas giving, biko do you and let others do dem.

I accept the fact that it is your civic right. But without sentiments, you know in your heart who can remedy this disaster the present government has put us in.

Chief, what you know in your heart, is one thing.
Reality can some times shock you.

Hopefully we'll get to talk more on this.

Honestly the richest people don't make noise.
I wish igbos will get this

The richest people in Nigeria are Hausas but you'll never know most of them.

But let one Igbo guy from Anambra make 100million naira and he thinks he is the alpha and omega of Nigeria.

I like igbos but as far as Nigeria is concerned, they need a major paradigm shift in their mindset.

Will you be able to tell your children that you voted for Tinubu instead of Obi?

If I had the time to educate and elucidate you, you'll understand why BAT is a better option than PO.
Even though PO seems the obvious better choice.

But most Obidients are not even patient enough to listen.
When anger and naivity drives you, rationality goes out the window.

The crux of my engagement with you is simple. In democracy, every one has the right to vote for who they so please. Its your civic right.
Imposing your own choice on others becomes undemocratic.

Your train of thought is the reason why IPOB has made life in the East unsafe in the name of actualisation of their Biafran dream, as justified as the Biafran dream is.

If you fail to respect the rules and tenets of a democratic system, you become no different from the ones you're fighting against.

KingLennon:
Leave all this gibberish talk. Will you in your right senses vote APC? Am just asking

The irony is that neither PDP nor LP has the solution, so since you ask, yes.
I'll rather vote for BAT than PO or Atiku.

You should be more inquisitive to know why he has so much following just as much as PO.
Then you can agree that in a democratic govt, you respect the choices of others. And let majority decide the vote.

Next year is the year we will get the accurate statistics of mentally deranged people in Nigeria. The number of people who vote APC will be the accurate value....

Being juvenile is what makes you disrespect the opinion of others who don't share your opinion.

Until you understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion and your opinion is not necessary the only option cos some times there are different but right opinions, until then, you are more or less a Juvy.

marvelck:
Is it appropriate for bolt/Uber drivers to have conversations with riders while on a trip? Ain't they suppose to just drive and mind their business....

According to some, they don't find it comfortable having a conversation with drivers while on a trip. Do the drivers initiate conversations just to get familiar with riders or for other motives. Especially telling a rider you are meeting for the first time, about your personal life is not appropriate.

No one-size-fits-all answer.
Some customers enjoy drivers that engage them in conversation.
Some don't.
If your customer isn't comfy with it, disengage.

Kobojunkie:
1. What do you mean when you say God is multifaceted? Is this another one of those 6-blind-men-and-an-elephant situations where we conclude that people perceive and worship different aspects of the same God and somehow God is OK with all of that?

2. Angry with God? I laugh! I used to think like that until I realized how foolish I was in my assumptions of these things. Why should you be angry with God when you have never ever done that which He asked you to do from even your beginning? What makes you think He owes you anything?

3. Oh, I read the book of Job— several times too— until I realized my foolishness. Job was at least a man who did as God commanded of Him — God deemed Him righteous after all. I, on the other hand, had nothing but my self-righteousness— my ideas of goodness drowned in a thick batter of sin a result of self-prescribed ideas of holiness, a worthless lump— to present in my case before God. The best thing I ever did was to submit to Him in the end in order to learn His Truth from all the lies I had learned from men.

Of a truth... multifaceted can be misconstrued. So I understand your concern.
But that doesn't diminish the that God truly is multifaceted.
Same God chose Peter as Apostle.
He also chose Paul as Apostle.

Reading acts and galatians, you'll understand that God taught them in different ways.

Kobojunkie:
Since the story claims the Holy Spirit led both apostles to those others, it could only mean one thing, and that is that both Cornelius and the Ethiopian Eunuch were of the lost sheep of Israel. Below excerpt from a post on another thread should more than help you since you seem to think this is about me or something.
The Spirit of Truth is a guide and helper to direct each follower of Jesus Christ to others who are of the same flock. So the Spirit of Truth would never lead a follower of Jesus Christ to fellowship in the manner those men did with anyone who isn't of the lost sheep of Israel, to begin with. He can send a follower to heal a Gentile or cast out demons but not to fellowship as Peter and Phillip were recorded to have, in my opinion.

All I'll say is this- don't be full. Be open and keep learning of God.
God is multifaceted and his ways are higher than we could ever fathom.

I'm not someone who should be talking about God anymore cos I was angry with him for some time.
But when more understanding came, I realised he's God afterall and I'm just flesh.

Read the book of Job whenever you can, it's very humbling.

Kobojunkie:
Have you not been paying attention at all? As Jesus Christ made clear, He was sent by the Father only to the lost sheep of Israel. The implication of this is that even from among the Gentiles, only those of them whose ancestry traces back to Israel — the blood of Jacob is in their veins — can partake of God's mercy to mankind in Jesus Christ. This is to say that the Kingdom of God belongs only to those who are the lost sheep of Israel.

So what does the story of Cornelius mean to you?
Or Philip's conversion of the Eyhiopian Eunuch?
