Proverbs 20:11
11 Even a child is known by his doings. . .
little wonder why the apostle Paul said when he was child he spake as a child but when he became mature he laid as childish things.
The Christian is sharer of the God nature, he or she is a participator in the divine experience and righteousness is a nature of God

^^^^
"If" not "When" meaning that its a condition of probability not one certainty and it is also interesting that this was addressed to babes and infants in the faith because kids will always be kids always having need to be corrected

1 John 2:1
1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

the Christian is not a sinner to call him a sinner is to discredit the works of Christ on that cross of justice, you see Jesus hanging on that cross was the summit of all justice done and on that cross the bible says that He became not just a sinner but He became "sin" that the totality of what sin represented little wonder the bible records that on that cross He cried out my father my father why has thou forsaken me because The Father is pure He can not behold iniquity so He turned His face away. Now in Christ Jesus for everyone will accept and make personal the Demonstration of love carried by Jesus Christ such a one according to 2 Corinthians 5:17 is a new creature and automatically has "The Righteousness" of ascribed to him.
We must separate sin as an action and a nature. Anyone who is not bornagain is qualified to called a sinner whether or not he does anything good or bad why becos by one man sin entered into the world. But this not to say that as Christians, one may not make mistakes afterall even as saints we are constantly being perfectedthe
Ephesians 4:12
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

l heard about the incident but my concern goes to the boy's mother who helpless as she watches her son day in broad day light no thanks to our Nigerian police bringing to question what in actual reality is their constitution responsibility; to protect and secure lives and properties or to destroy and damage lives and properties.
You know it is incidents like this that prompts many like me to question what is content of theire training programme, becos (so to say) most often than not many of them get so power drunk that they become irrational and unable to logically analyse issues proper intact some them exhibit traits of being mentally derainged.

pls what part of Nigeria did this incident take place and what has become of the police officer who shot him.

This is a simple question and simple answer is what it deserves so all this unnecessary deviations are not important. if you an answer why not share it and let the learning process continue with friction.

How can both Muslims and Christians serve the same God?
The bible reveals to us who God is
John 1:1-4
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

The simple answer is yes!
But be that as it may though it is important that we understand a Christian truly is; the Christian one who is superior to Satan and he demons thus "SHOULD NOT" be hurt by witch-craft or the so called "Black Magic in Christ Jesus we have have been made more than conquerors little wonder the scripture in[b] Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and [color=#000099]nothing shall by any means hurt you".[/color][/b] but someone may want to ask if this scripture is true (which it is) why then do we still have certain Christians still being hurt by witch-craft and black magic? Well interestingly fine a scripture which provides us with clear reason that could be possible.

Galatians 4:1-3
"1 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, [i][color=#000099]when we were underage, we were in slavery under the elemental spiritual forces[a] of the world" [/color][/i]

You see its only children who have not come of age and who are immature that have the tendency of being hurt by black magic or by the activities of witches and to a large proportion is anchored on one thing- IGNORANCE

Hmmmm, l see!

Let The Lord Be Your Defense

Psalm 94:22
22But the Lord has been my defense, and my God the rock of my refuge.


Imagine being a poor widow, a stranger in the land and holding one of the lowliest jobs in society. That was Ruth’s situation, so it would have been easy for her to feel vulnerable and defenseless. But because she trusted the Lord (Ruth 1:16), He placed her under Boaz’s protection.

Boaz, the owner of the field she worked in, commanded his young men saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.” (Ruth 2:15) What he was saying to his men was this: “She might be a gleaner, but because I care for her, treat her with respect and make sure she is not put to shame.”

Boaz is a picture of our Lord Jesus. If you are feeling vulnerable and defenseless right now, imagine Jesus commanding His angels, “Watch over this one who belongs to Me. Make sure he is treated with respect and not put to shame because he is someone I love and someone whom I died for.”

God’s Word tells us that if God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31) No one who has set himself against us can prevail because when God is for us, His protection is upon us. That is why I have never answered any of the poison email messages which I have received in the course of my ministry.

My attitude is this: Jesus is my defense. If He does not defend me, it means that there are things in my life that are not to be defended, and I would be glad to find out about them now rather than later. On the other hand, because I take the Lord as my defense, and He defends me, what can those who are against me do to me?

When you defend yourself, you have only your two hands and your own human resources. But when you let Jesus take up your defense, He defends you with His nail-pierced hands and His legions of angels! The results will be amazing.

Beloved, the Lord is your defense and refuge. Trust Him to defend and protect you!

Pronounce Yourself Clean!

Matthew 8:3
3Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.


Most of us are familiar with the healing of the leper in Matthew 8. It is a beautiful account of God’s willingness to touch and heal the sick, no matter how unclean they may be. Whenever we doubt God’s willingness to heal us, we should listen to the words of Jesus again: “I am willing; be cleansed.” He is the same yesterday, today and forever!

Since the Bible is clear about God’s willingness to heal, why do we still have problems with our health? Why do we still experience symptoms in our bodies?

I believe that the answer is found in what Jesus told the leper to do next. He told him to go and show himself to the priest. (Matthew 8:4) This was the law then for lepers who were healed. (Leviticus 14:2–3) And he was to hear the priest pronounce the word “clean” over him. (Leviticus 14:7)

You see, as believers, when we received Jesus, His blood cleansed us from sin as well as sickness. (Isaiah 53:4–5) But we keep hearing people pronounce sin, sickness, poverty and death over us. We keep hearing people tell us that we are unclean, undeserving, poor, weak, and that it is only natural that we grow old and sickly, and die.

God is waiting for a priesthood that will rise up and pronounce His people clean!

“But Pastor Prince, where can I find such priests?”

Who are the priests today? You and I! In fact, we have more authority to pronounce good things than the Levitical priests of the Old Testament. They were just priests. But we are king-priests by the blood of Jesus! (Revelation 1:5–6) Where the word of the king is, there is power. (Ecclesiastes 8:4) And by the word of a priest, every controversy and every assault shall be settled. (Deuteronomy 21:5)

Beloved, God has cleansed you, so pronounce yourself clean! Right now, put your hand on your heart and pronounce good things over yourself. Say, “I pronounce myself clean, righteous, healed, whole and prosperous by the blood of Jesus!” By your word as a king-priest, every assault against you shall be settled!

Where did the bible ever say that Jesus Christ went to HELL !!!


Show me quickly please  !

1 Peter 3:18-19
18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 19 After being made alive,[a] he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits—
Question: What and where is this prison in which these persons "spirits" where supposedly imprisoned?

1 Peter 4:6
For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to men in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
". . . the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead. . ." doesn't that show some form of activity and Where are the dead or better still where was the dead prior to this?

2 Corinthians 5:20
He has made Him who knew nothing of sin to be sin for us, in order that in Him we may become the righteousness of God.
The bible makes us to understand clearly (no Greek no Hebrew) that Christ Jesus was made "to be sin" meaning that He was the embodiment of what sin represented on that cross on Him was laid all the sin of all men little wonder the bible says
". . .that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved"

Then while on the cross the bible records in (Mark 15:34) "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
This could only be possible because the bible records that the eyes of God are so pure that He cannot behold iniquity and He is not a respecter of any person so when Jesus was made sin on that cross He was treated as a sinner.

Question: Where do sinners go to when they die?
"Heaven" l suppose    then who goes hell perhaps saints
HE WHO KNEW NO SIN WAS MADE SIN FOR US AND HE DIED IN HIS SIN STATE AND WENT TO HELL SO THAT ALL WHO WILL HEAR AND BELIEVE IN HIS NAME WILL NOT DIE IN SIN AND FACE THE ULTIMATE JUDGMENT AND DESTINATION.

I want to believe that this should be simple enough

Happy birthday to a Great man who worth celebrating

Well did so that all who believe in Him wouldn't any cause to make a return journey
"John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved".

This should be simple enough for every right thinking Christian who is a student of the Bible and the "Faith"

you know that first line doesnt make any sense. bullshiit

Young Lady why try to constitute a distraction l really felt you made some intelligent points just reading through a couple of your comments post which revealed the character of your person at least for starters because l know you understand my figurative expression about fishes and sheeps perhaps you are simply trying to be "NAUGHTY" in some way which l must confess doesn't really worth a penny because it is unnecessary.

If only you can watch these pastors from another viewpoint, you'll definitely laugh at their cunning

A cyborg is essentially a man-machine system in which the control mechanisms of the human portion are modified externally by drugs or regulatory devices so that the being can live in an environment different from the normal one.

A cyborg is a being with both biological and artificial (e.g. electronic, mechanical or robotic) parts. The term was coined in 1960 when Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline used it in an article about the advantages of self-regulating human-machine systems in outer space.[1] D. S. Halacy's Cyborg: Evolution of the Superman in 1965 featured an introduction which spoke of a "new frontier" that was "not merely space, but more profoundly the relationship between 'inner space' to 'outer space' – a bridge, between mind and matter."[2]

The term cyborg is often today applied to an organism that has enhanced abilities due to technology,[3] though this perhaps oversimplifies the necessity of feedback for regulating the subsystem. The earlier and more strict definition of Cyborg was almost always considered as increasing or enhancing normal capabilities, whereas now the term can also be applied to those organisms which use technology to repair or overcome their physical and mental constraints: including artificial limbs and hands as well as a device for helping colour-blind people to "hear" in colour. While cyborgs are commonly thought of as mammals, they might also conceivably be any kind of organism and the term "Cybernetic organism" has been applied to networks, such as road systems, corporations and governments, which have been classed as such. The term can also apply to micro-organisms which are modified to perform at higher levels than their unmodified counterparts.
According to some definitions of the term, the metaphysical and physical attachments humanity has with even the most basic technologies have already made them cyborgs.[4] In a typical example, a human fitted with a heart pacemaker or an insulin pump (if the person has diabetes) might be considered a cyborg, since these mechanical parts enhance the body's "natural" mechanisms through synthetic feedback mechanisms. Some theorists cite such modifications as contact lenses, hearing aids, or intraocular lenses as examples of fitting humans with technology to enhance their biological capabilities; however, these modifications are as cybernetic as a pen or a wooden leg. Cochlear implants that combine mechanical modification with any kind of feedback response are more accurately cyborg enhancements.
Origins
The concept of a man-machine mixture was widespread in science fiction before World War II. As early as 1843, Edgar Allan Poe described a man with extensive prostheses in the short story "The Man That Was Used Up". In 1908, Jean de la Hire introduced Nyctalope (perhaps the first true superhero was also the first literary cyborg) in the novel L'Homme Qui Peut Vivre Dans L'eau (The Man Who Can Live in the Water). Edmond Hamilton presented space explorers with a mixture of organic and machine parts in his novel The Comet Doom in 1928. He later featured the talking, living brain of an old scientist, Simon Wright, floating around in a transparent case, in all the adventures of his famous hero, Captain Future. He uses the term explicitly in the 1962 short story, "After a Judgment Day," to describe the "mechanical analogs" called "Charlies," explaining that "[c]yborgs, they had been called from the first one in the 1960's, cybernetic organisms." In the short story "No Woman Born" in 1944, C. L. Moore wrote of Deirdre, a dancer, whose body was burned completely and whose brain was placed in a faceless but beautiful and supple mechanical body.
The term was coined by Manfred E. Clynes and Nathan S. Kline in 1960 to refer to their conception of an enhanced human being who could survive in extraterrestrial environments:
Their concept was the outcome of thinking about the need for an intimate relationship between human and machine as the new frontier of space exploration was beginning to take place. A designer of physiological instrumentation and electronic data-processing systems, Clynes was the chief research scientist in the Dynamic Simulation Laboratory at Rockland State Hospital in New York.
The term first appears in print five months earlier when The New York Times reported on the Psychophysiological Aspects of Space Flight Symposium where Clynes and Kline first presented their paper.


Just a simple question: Could this be a extension of the "INTERPRETATION" of the vision of Daniel recorded in the book of Daniel 2:33 nd 43
33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. . . . 43 As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay.


Iron mixed with Clay
Iron - Machine
Clay - Man (flesh) "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul". (Genesis 2:7)

Please don't get me wrong l am very much aware that this vision in question is plainly about the "Empires of the World". This concern has become expedient for me especially when l project and see a technological future of man and machine-advance artificial intelligence under the disguise of breaking new grounds and charting new frontiers for more efficiency and improved productivity

Then you dont know how powerful the human mind is. man created religion and he can also end it. once we realise we dont want to be mind controlled by religious muppets then the revolution begins. Watch out, =the world is gradually becoming Atheist and religion is losing its importance.

No doubt Religion is "losing" it importance in the world but to say that the world is gradually becoming Atheist is erroneous because that can never happen if it seem to be happening well wake up thats a false alarm simply because there is something already available that transcends and is better than religion. . . . . "THE LIFE OF GOD IN THE HUMAN SPIRIT EVIDENT ON THE OUTWARD"

Nevertheless though, Religion has been very instrumental in keeping and maintaining that "God Consciousness" that many of those who claim to be what they call "ATHEIST" TRY TO FOOLISHLY IGNORE, HOW SAD!

babaearly:
Nonsensr. who are you trying to exhort now? p.chris or Jesus?

Calm down my friend
Question: Have you ever read any article in the rhapsody
if yes
does the content suggest they were gotten from the qua ran of elsewhere other than the Bible?

Can't you fine bible reading in the book?
Can't you find Bible reading plans for 1 year and 2 years doesn't that suggest anything to you?

please let us stop this sentiments and serve God in truth and in love because it is terrible to see people make baseless comments

frosbel:
So Nigeria has now jolined America in spreading false doctrines worldwide !!

Their judgement lingereth not !!!

I had a read of today's rhapsody devotion and it was complete metaphysics.

Nothing about Holiness, Lovng GOD, Living right or prophecy.

I am now convinced that Jo is also a false prophet 

So at least can you tell let us in on what the topic was today as a prove that you really read it and let also preview for ourselves what exactly in the article is metaphysical. Thank you

Pastor Kun:
No wonder Finland is a predominantly atheist country.

Well that could be the fact but l think am more interested about the reality which is that things are changing or what do you think?

Image123:
So is it safe to assume that one can be more blessed than you in a church like deeper life without having to be saturated with pastor chris-like teachings?

l know this question isn't for me but l couldn't resist the temptation of saying something
No, what do you take "deeper life" for; a place where to find one "rich and influential" person would a big testimony or poor people are raised?
Anyway if you must know am aware that we have a remarkable number of "Influential" persons in "deeper life"

Joagbaje:
Do you need a prophet to tell it's not true. Does pastor chris drive cars? Where is he driving to? His studio is in church compound ,his office is in church compound , he stays in church compound ,where is he driving to? . Supermarket ? Or America ? Or from bathroom to toilet. These are childish tales. Pastor chris definitely recieves a lot of gifts , plus cars , and he gives out too? If for any reasons those cars are his, they are awaiting being given out. Because he himself doesn't drive and he has no place to go to. If a man who probably has received hundreds of cars, why will people be concerned with just 30?

Let us not even bring into prospective the speculation of whether or not those cars belong to Him, THAT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ONE WHO INITIATED THIS DISCUSS WITH AN UNCONVINCING PIECE OF PHOTO

This is remarkably phenomenal to think that Rhapsody of Realities is, as at the last count read in over 141 indigenous languages spread across 160 countries of the world, bring hope and believe to many.

Thank you Mabell for this video

So God has decided to give you, but if you don't give, God cannot deliver?

Luke 6:38
"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again"
Jesus Himself said "GIVE" and the resultant outcome will be "IT SHALL BE GIVEN UNTO YOU" meaning that He ties and anchors "BE GIVEN UNTO YOU" to your "GIVING"
l think that is simple enough for everybody to understand. . . . no Greek no Hebrew

nuclearboy:
Another God demeaning whist man glorifying post!

So God can be "demeaned" Terrible
Ask yourself WHO IS GOD?
Because l think that if you ever got to know who He is such expression

Joagbaje:
Has anyone said otherwise but I doubt your membership.


I really  doubt your membership. Because you don't even understand the ministry. The focus u
Is Jesus , eternal life,new creation. God life at work in us. How many times have you heard pastor chris on tv teaching money money money. He teaches on the life in the spirit. Money matter is only once in a long while.


You are wrong,I doubt if you're a member of CEC except you're new or not very committed.  We give as a way of life. We give to meet needs, and we get blessed. We don't give prado to get a hummer. When I gave the prado, I began drive a bus without a/c . For some months. I'm teaching truth here .A giver must recieve. I'm presently using a jeep wrangler, Its even a deeper life member that was led to give me. I recieve strange things. This things looks crazy but that's the life we live  The I can't deny the power of giving. This truths works for anyone who believes. There are things God has ordained you to get free. If you don't practice giving ,They may not come. If a man does not give he is missing a lot.  . Somebody is making noise over 30 jeeps . Just 30 jeep not even a jet . ? Will you blame a man for what he receives? Does he know how pastor chris gives . Why not do your own giving.

We were discussing the benefit of sowing seed in a thread , so it was inline  it was an illustration.

That has to do with motive. It's only God that sees the motive of the heart .didn't Jesus talk about how he fed 5,000.? If the motive is for the praise of men,that praise is all we get,but if the motive is to give glory to God. Nothing wrong with it.Didn't paul talk about how he laboured more than other apostles? It depends the motive.

1 Corinthians 15:10
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Pastor Kun:
Below is a picture of Oyak's house and some of his over thirty jeeps. I really admire the well manicured lawn he uses as parking lot for his jeeps. The man has taste sha. But the kweshun arises, what does this man do for a living to justify such an opulent and vulgar lifestyle? What would a sane man be doing with over thirty Jeeps when half of his church members he claims to love are jumping from okada to molue like newmi?
