When will these people quit acting like animals

Proverbs 24:10
"If thou faint in THE DAY F ADVERSITY thy strength is small"
There is a always a day of adversity for everyone according to the scriptures, even concerning our savour Jesus the bible records in Hebrews
Hebrews 2:14
"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy home that had the power of death, that is the devil"
then 1 Corinthians 10:13 says
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man----" that means that every man must of necessity have his or her share of these "common"temptation.

then Hebrews 2:18 concerning Jesus says
"For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted"
note "able to succour them that are being tempted" oh there are "them" that are being tempted?

WHAT TO DOES THE DAY OF ADVERSITY MEAN FOR THE CHRISTIAN
for the christian, "the day OF adversity" doesn't mean doomsday or day of punishment for wrongs done, we know so because for Jesus it wasn't doomsday day it was called a "test" and like every test they are designed for one thing and one thing only- PROMOTION.

l am not aware of any lecturer who prepares a test with the singular motive of demoting the students, every test conciled within is a promotion. For Jesus Christ who is our number one and perfect example, the book of Hebrews 12:2 "Looking unto Jesus the author an finishes of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God"

its interesting that the writer of Hebrews 12:2 chose to use these significant expressions respectively about Jesus who for the joy that was set before him:
1. endured the cross
2. despised the shame

these two expression are significant because there vital truths about life embedded in them. I have often thought why didn't the writer by the inspiration of God's say: despising the cross and enduring the shame. You see the cross was a necessity thus could not be ignored but had to endure it while the shame was subject to his concent thus the bible records He despised it, that is He refused to regard it and attach any form of sense to it.

this is a vital truth in life as Christian, there are certain situations that of necessity we must have to go through because they are for our promotion. Little wonder the bible says in Isaiah 43:2 "When thou passeth through the waters, l will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee"

The bible says in "when" not "if" because they "if" is a probability but "when" is simply a matter of time be that as it may be rest assured you will certainly have to go through.

Isn't interesting that we are not "staying in" but "passing through", halleluya!!!

CONSOLATION IN THE DAY OF ADVERSITY
psalms 27:4-5
"One thing have l desired of the LORD, that will l seek after; that l may dwell in the house of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in THE secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me upon a rock"

The Hebrew word translated trouble here is the word translated "ra" which could be expressed by such English synonyms as: adversity, distress, displeasure, calamity and as a noun it could refer to simply a "evil" so the psalmist say in the day of evil, distress, adversity THE LORD WILL HIDE ME THAT IS HE WOULD CAUSE THE EVIL TO INTERPRETE MY PRESENCE AS ABSENCE WOW. HALLELUYA!! GOD IS FAITHFUL.

The bible calls God the Father of MERCIES AND ALL COMFORT
1corinthians 1:3 "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort".

Finally, at this point let me pray for anyone who is probably experiencing his or her own moments of trials and test, remember you are only PASSING THROUGH BECAUSE GOD HAS MOTIVE CALLED YOU TO REMAIN IN IT. I PRAY THAT THE GOD WHO IS THE FATHER OF MERCIES AND ALL COMFORT WILL STRENGTHEN YOU IN THE MIDST OF THAT HEAT AND THAT BY HIS SPIRIT YOU WILL COME OUT A LIVING TESTIMONY OF HIS FAITHFULNESS AND COMMITMENT TO HIS WORD. GOD BLESS YOU

Deauteronomy 8:3 (NLT)
3 Yes, he humbled you by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unknown to both you and your ancestors. He did it to help you realize that food isn't everything, and that real life comes by obeying every command of God.

another translation puts it as "man needs morethan bread to live, real life comes by feeding on every word of God"
wow the bible says that REAL LIFE COMES BY THE WORD!

little wonder
John 1:1-3
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

@newmi and gombs
it has been shown severally that cec breeds ungodliness. The fruits you display in this forum are enough for even an unbeliever to conclude that cec is not of God.
Instances - fynguy a 419, pastor jo caught using different ids to support his lies, newmi admonishing jo to continue with his lies, gombs leaving salvation gospel to preach prosperity message
these and more are not fruits from God

bravo boy, just a little advice stop begging the question could kindly start providing the list of churches and pastor Gombs requested. thank you

@Gombs
Good, that is the very question.

@Free123
Ok now is you opportunity o ya begin to list!

@Sirjohn
yes this what l am talking about what a great deliverance, to God be the glory and praise forever! Amen. Now watch this, it would be cynical and unreasonably canal if l begin to express doubt, questioning the authenticity of this glorious testimony perhaps by suggesting that you are no where to be found in the photos.
l believe like me several other persons are inspired and strengthened by this testimony as it does credence to the saving grace of God Almighty.
please share more!

true talk but how often do we on our knees intercede and pray for the salvation of these souls that the light of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ would gain access into their hearts. You see friends intercession is a function of God's love

this is great news for him and we with him the best

SirJohn:
Making noise! Thats what you guys are good at. . . Anybody can talk volumes; as a matter of fact, empty containers make the most noise
ask them to produce just one case, then you see excuses as loud as the noise they make.
go tell all this crap to the birds, we know better

so what is the ranting about, l have shared my testimony both of myself and my anty to the glory of God to whom is the power, the kingdom, and the glory forever, Amen! if you HAVE any cause to doubt me oya loosen up and present it else quiet and learn so you could walk out of your pathetic and horribly sorry life
"go tell all this crap to the birds, we know better" well l wish but the birds lack the requisite intelligence to synthesize, articulate and conveniently purposefully accommodate the information am pasting across hitherto l considered you better of than they, except you are suggesting that l made a mistake to rate you in terms of intelligence better than the birds. Hoooops

KunleOshob:
False testimonies abound in christ embassy the bible says by their fruits we shall know them. Pastor chris as been confirmed to be a fraud, even his disciples here on nairaland have shown themselves to be confirmed pathological liars and people of questionable character so why should we believe the false testimonies of people who have proven not to be credible and also representing a fraudulent character/institution.

Wait a minute friend l thought you are educated so stop babbling like someone whose brain is wet and soul is hunted by demons of his traumatic past or have skipped your medication? You don't know me, l don't know you or what do, what do lyou have that l am interested in, is it money, houses, lands, rest of mind, or peace? nothing! am simply interested in sharing my faith and experience with the faithfulness of God so the faith of other believers could be strengthened as l also learn from their inspiring tales of God's faithfulness. But what do l get from you nothing because you have NOTHING! NOTHING!! NOTHING!!!
else share your faith and testimonies and allow me and others to be strengthened an inspired.
YOU HAVE NO JUSTIFICATION TO DISCREDIT MY TESTIMONIES BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT FELT LIKE, SO DON'T GO THERE OTHERWISE----ok present your reasons why you think am faking it, something that was an issue of life and death, this is not about ce people this is me so address me and quit making generic and blanket statements.

@mabell
Wow glory to God Almighty forever to is the power, the kingdom and the glory, Amen!
you see mabell l don't enjoy aging with these unbelievers and people whose hearts have become unpersuadable and hardened perhaps l should start praying for specific calamity and affliction to visit them so that they can believe but they mustn't wait for such.

newmi
are u saying the blind doesnt see in islam and other religions? Are u saying the multitude in other religions do not think they are right? Wake up to reality my man. When people like u guys boast of the multitude in your church i wonder if you guys do not know that 'broad and wide' is the way that leads to eternal condemnation and multitude just like in CEC are found in such a way

if they do peradventure you are aware of any please kindly share them, sure what do you expect, if they thought they were wrong they wouldn't stick with it

"When people like u guys boast of the multitude in your church" so tell me would you rather see them in night clubs and covens?
Affliction

@SirJohn
No discredit to you as an individual, but experiences however they may have played out are no bases for judging the truth about pastory Chris and CE. The word of God is the basis for the judging and we have subjected it to the scrutiny of the word of God and prove positive the result speak for themselves.
I personally got healed of deafness on my left ear in 2006 just by putting the word of God that pastor Chris preaches and teaches to work. you see its terrible to be deaf.

@ nuclearboy
ok you claim to be saying the truth, please tell me the truth about this:
you don't agree with the message that pastor Chris preaches no problem, please kindly suggest to me a man of God or church in Nigeria that you think is preaching what in consideration is the gospel?

Don't think we are here jobless defending a man or a particular church no you guysvare wrong, its nit about the man pastor Chris or the church he pastors but its about the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ we have proven and tested time and time again. My anty was hunted by the Spirit of death, she was afflicted every night and day by the fear of death always hearing strange things at night like gun shots, seeing coffins and seem to be practically going insane and losing her mind because she couldn't sleep or eat. We took her to the hospital the doctors' diagnosis wasn't clear because they were unsure and uncertain but my anty was dying.
so we sent her to the healing school and when she came back the first thing she said was dying"that place is not Nigeria----you literally sense God there" and said how that just seeing other people getting healed by acting out their faith was such a great inspiration. Now my anty is healed gaining weight and has returned to business full of life than ever. l can't remember any occasion where we entertained visitors from pastor Chris presenting a document of an agreement to fake the miracle

Luke 7:23
23 And blessed is[ he], whosoever shall not be offended in me.
even John the Baptist doubted Jesus and questioned the truth of His call and Questioned

Luke 7:20
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
Luke 7:22
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

SirJohn:
Same can be said for Islam, Buddhism, Satanism etc. What difference does it make

Yeah, we can see the evidence: hopping from one okada to the next, thats 'prove positive' 

no that's where you are wrong my friend, we have seen the blind see, deaf ears stopped, the barren give birth, even the demoniac delivered, we have Satan time and time and time again bow in defeat before the power of God's Spirit all IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH.

And you know what, if it happened to only people whom we only heard of but can't relate with their conditions then we have the chance maybe doubt it but these things are testimonies from these our personal experiences with or without pastor Chris. we cast out devils, we lay hands on the sick and they are healed sometimes on our own bodies and are healed, we have seen complex and dangerous medical operations synthesized and easy by the power of God's Spirit
this is what yhe bible called in THE bok of Acts about the man at the beautiful gate "a notable miracle" what more could one ask for.

These came a time when even John The Baptist doubted Jesus and His ministry sending men to Jesus to ask him "are you the inequality we should expect or we should with fir another", what was Jesus' reply? after He had praise John, He said "tell him the blind see, the deaf, the dumb speak, the gospel is preached to the gospel poor". Don't think we are fools, we have proven it by the word of Godd and with fire.

i can understand your frustration. your aim of opening this thread is to castigate those who refused to join your fake and deluded wagon of daft sickos.
Dont worry, u'll be the one to run when the seat gets hot

do you ever consider the possibility of hundreds of thousands of people spread over the world could be daft and stupid that for morethan 2 decades we are still getting stronger in our conviction about this message, have you have asked what the motivation is? well if not then that was very nuts of you.

our motivation is simple:
@ the money is ours not yours
@ we are living evidences that this message is not a failure and that it works, l mean our lives are prove positive this message works.
@ we seen the extra ordinary power of God demonstrated in several meetings all over the world with or with pastor Chris so this not about the man pastor Chris, you cannot defeat a people with proven convictions, read your history.

the message that pastor Chris preaches and teaches is not all about prosperity, he preaches and teaches on the quality of the divine life Jesus came to make available to us be (john 10:10), he preaches and teaches both the love of God and the love fellow humans according to the scripture.

l guess you missed his inspiring message to more than 30,000 young people motivating them towards a productive future where their contributions count in nation building as well on the global scene.

you see you guys are oblivious of the degree of impact this man and the message that God has given to him is inspiring young people all over the world with Nigeria not standing as tops and let me inform you : young people are the future we hope for, meaning that he is in touch with the future how can you stop such a man?
wake up

Ganjaseed:
Any thing nor practise that is not good, is not good. We all standing alone with God, taking side or defending any special person is evil. Let us not help God here, we are not promoting the name of God nor the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Paul rebuked Peter at a time, so if we are kicking against these evil practice i don't think its wrong in any way we should create awareness of these evil act to fellow believers who are ready to make heaven.

do who is trying to help God because even the thought of it is insulting and degrading. please can you share your contributions to the gospel and let us be inspired

supporting any church that is not of God is evil

You are claim that these guys are bad for judging Pastor Chris yet you judge them very harshly yourself. Are u not then guilty of the same crime??
Na dis be di kin Christianity una de len for church? Judge those who judge you??

I dey laugh!

Acts 5:34
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;

^^^^^ that boy nuclearboy he doesn't see any good of the church, no check out all his post not one remark or comment of credit for church and the gospel all he does and sees is wrong. The reason is not far fetched especially when you consider the fact that hri doesn't have pastor so he can indiscriminately speak evil of Men of God, and he is not committed in a church, that's why he speaks evil of all churches ire ask him to name at least one pastor or church that is good.
He doesn't have not even an idea because you see these are the enemies of the churchChurch

the bible says in the book of psalms 23:5 that God prepares a table in the presence of the energy, meaning that God wants the enemy to be alive see his faithfulness

sadboy:
the bible records this. Jesus was nailed with two thiefs and goes to heaven with one thief! and the other thief went to hell.

Well sadboy you're wrong, Jesus said "today you will be with me in paradise". He didn't say "today l will take you to paradise" the choice was that of the thieves. to make. Afterall we see the thief on the right reprimanding his partner for wrongly accusing Jesus.

Choice is God's greatest gift to human kind thus today if anyone would go to heaven or Hell it will be based on their choice. Man is a free moral being

"When money entered the Church it
turned everything around . Cant you
see we have argued till the 5th page all
because of MONEY ?" o yeah so please where was money at prior to its entry, was it at the bank or perhaps in your pocket?
and do think the church is the wrong place for it to be mentioned resident otherthan the bank and your pocket, oh ignorant and foolishly wrong you are. You think this gospel is for only those who frustrated and who don't have "global impact" at heart, well if you must know the gospel is free but not in anyway cheap. If we sell you and all you have both struggled to amass and those inherited l wonder if it can sponsor a satellite or sustain a 24/7 web service, perhaps it can care for tv slots on television station in morethan 77 countries.

Except you and all those who have are signed on same page with you are suggesting in your intelligence that the gospel of Christ Jesus does not deserve such publicity because they are exclusive preserves for pornographic messages, violence and terrorism courses.

please state your standPocket

This might shock many people but l say it anyway and find time to explain: nobody will go to Hell because of what he or she did but for what he ire she did not do.
