But there are a lot of inner voices
How can one discern which is which

The surest way to discern the voice of God directing us in by the word of God, you see the word of God is God is (John 1:1) little wonder the Psalmist said "---Thy word is a lamb unto my feet and a light unto my path---"

Psalms 16:11
"Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasure for evermore" one translation puts it as "---Thy will LEAD ME IN THE PATH OF life---"

God relates with us in various ways as He so wills then by experiential observation through the help of the Holy Spirit as we become increasingly yield we become acquainted with these peculiar ways of His guidance. That's why the book of Hebrews 5:14
"But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their sense exercised to DISCERN both good and evil"

but above all we subject every experience to the scrutiny of the word of God

Please l need help; l occasionally function in the grace of winning Muslims to Christ but the statistics in comparism with the opportunities l had had to met such persons. It hurts me bad to always see that man walk or drive away knowing that he wasn't saved, and the thought of it is agonizingly displeasureable.

Though l intercede; should l just concentrate on thator l should keep trying to be consistent, please what can or should l do.
thank you

The very moment Pastor Chris declared the month of march as the month of soul winning l knew it was from The Lord because prior to that announcement, my pastor had been making a consistent emphasise on the issue of soul winning and l had been meditating a scripture- proverbs 10:5

"He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: BUT HE THAT SLEEPETH IN HARVEST IS A SON THAT CAUSETETH SHAME"

THIS ARE THE DAYS OF HIS HARVEST, THANK GOD FOR THE LEADERSHIP OF HIS Harvest

You know what Jo we most recently began a massive campaign on soul winning and yesterday l added one more to my records but one very sticking observation l made was that- l observed that heart of the people were already prepared because morethan once, almost immediately l ask the question: are you bornagain? their answer is
"---No, but l want to, how can l", you know and without any much ado we're already praying. The experience is wonderful!!!

All of these only gives credence to the fact- THIS ARE THE DAYS OF HIS HARVEST AND THE DAYS OF HIS Harvest

Deuteronomy 30:19
"l call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that l have set before you life and death, death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live"

God's greatest gift to mankind is "choice" but be that as it may, God is always a very present help in times of need

Mabell, l just made a quotnation from Acts 5:42 "And daily in the TEMPLE, and in every HOUSE, they ceased NOT to teach and preach Jesus Christ"

What do you think about the fact that these conveging place (temples and houses), where not venues in the shy but buildings built (like scripture will say- by some man), and like you earlier on correctly pointed that the upper room could only accommodate perhaps only 120 thus necessitating the need to iimprove capacity to accommodate increase.Capacity

@nuclearboy
you said
"God is worshiped in Spirit and in Truth, not in numbers or gatherings"

in spirit and in truth well said but not in numbers or gatherings; where did you conjure this because in case you are not aware it does not concord, correlate, agree and synchronize with scriptural dispositions.

John 4:24
"God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth"
good! very good boy!

but the later what we have is:
Acts 6:1
"And in those days, when the NUMBER of the disciples was multiplied----"
why?

Acts 5:12nd14
"And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch---And the believers were the MORE ADDED TO THE LORD, multitudes both of men and women)".

Then for that of "gathering", perhaps you didn't see this:
Acts 5:42
"And daily in the TEMPLE, and in every HOUSE, they CEASED NOT to teach and preach Jesus Christ"

ok for once you try make sense- "in spirit and in truth", but why you come spoil am na

WHEN WILL YOU GROW UP

Chei! I hope you guys will never build a house in your life ;DBecause Jesus didn't build a house. Intact I should pray for bomboi and his Nannies . That they will never. . . .

^^^
That is if you have cognisance of the teaching of Paul and christ. Paul was not a teacher of milk teeth babies.

Joagbaje:
what an irony, the guy who's life is full of immoral thoughts and speeches Is talking about holiness !.

He seems to have different chemical reaction from time to time.

Bonboi how many people will you be Bonboi to? You're Bonboi to Aletheia , Bonboi to Kunle and now Bonboi to Frosbel .

@frosbel
Very well said, but first is the church the building or the people, if its the people then the talk of the building being big or small is inconsequential
you said:
"The church belongs to Jesus and He is in fact the one that builds it"
very good, question- How?

God has a purpose for every of His children
Ephesians 2:10
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them"

"For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago" (Nlt)

God the judge of all the bible says that the earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof the world and they that dwell therein we can always count on God to judge most accurately. It is characteristic of His person.

@loveking, free123
Its amazing that all you could deduce from such a revealing article even with scriptures to match is an attempt to sell a man, why don't you open your hearts the truth of the message and if you have any reservations then search the scriptures yourself and prove the message, that is how mature Christians respond to truth- they judge it on the basis of the Word.

You know every time l think the about people like my nuclearbonboi, Kunleoshob, enigma, and rest on their comrades l feel a deep Sense of concern because these men are oblivious of what they seem to be up against, think this message that pastor Chris preaches is not something we just simply accepted don't think that we as stupid and nuts as you think we should be, some of us have been born again and Christians even before some of your fathers ever thought of going to church and we have proved this message in our personal lives and like the apostle John wrote "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and hands have handled, of the Word of life" (John 1:1)

These are truths that we have proved and we still prove on a daily basis so stop expending your time wrongly get wise read your bible.

Joagbaje:
Come o do we have budhist in Nigeria? Or which country yo dey? I met harechrisna abi how do you spell it. Hare krisna. But budhist , I haven't met.

With kind of people we meet even on nairaland forget o anything is possible in naija

@azibalua
you couldn't be any more correct

@ Joagbaje
Perhaps you hadn't received the HolyGhost then or you had but hadn't lerant to activate His presence because His presence brings boldness little wonder the apostles prayed:
Acts 4:29
"And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all BOLDNESS they may speak thy words"

You know for it has been like an obsessive addiction such that whenever l meet anyone my heart begins to accelerate faster than normal if 5minutes has past without bringing the gospel into the discussion, so that was the case on this particular day when l left the comfort of my privacy and convenience to board a bike and immediately l sat there on and the guy altered his first words, l heard the voice of the Holy Spirit say "---this is soul---", so from that moment l was conscious that God had trust me enough to delegate the responsibility of ensuring that day that the man was saved the resultant was that while on the bike l began to deliberately strategise on how to practically win him. So on getting to my destination l alighted and didn't waste any time to begin the conversation since it was a Saturday, l began by asking him his preparations for going to church the next day (Sunday) and he immediately opened up and said he had no plans whatsoever for me that was a sign to convince me what the Holy Spirit said then l asked him if he was born again and he said "----brother make l no lie give you no, l want to---l don dey try----" at this point it was not a time for any spiritual jargons immediately l prayed with him and he gave his heart to Christ accepting His Lordship and l was so fulfilled and for the most part that day l had had so much to do at work so was very tired physically l think that was while the Holy Spirit had to make me aware of the peculiarity of that responsibility that day who knows if that was the last chance for that guy and l was strengthened. Glory be to God!

@Mabell
Oh glory to be God forever, what a rejoicing in heaven for those souls. You Mabell its a great thing to turn men from darkness to the glorious light of the liberty of the gospel of Jesus Chris and l want to say a big bravo to you, it makes me feel that we are not alone in this. Thank you and do more!

@Joagbaje
You one of the most interesting thing that has happenned to us: boys, girls, children, men and women both old and young, is that morethan ever there is now a great passion and excitement about reaching out to the unsaved with the gospel and we are committed to it and God has been faithful of doing the same thing we are told He did to the efforts of the apostle when they went out to preach- "----and God was with them comfirming their words with signs following----"

Joagbaje:
@newmi
One should rather use ones time productively to tell the untold about the love of Jesus than argue endlessly with siting docks.The man of God Pastor chris has declared this month a month of soul winning. How have you guys gone in reaching others with the gospel?

A bi you right afterall its vain talk arguing with the bonboi.
You what it was really by the Holy Ghost that Pastor Chris decleared this month as the month of soul winning because it couldn't be any more timely and l have numerous testimonies to that respect which l know you'd love to hear.

Joagbaje:
Here is your answer dude

Proverbs 26:4
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

@ Nuclearbonboi
don't worry my boy there's hope for you 

Joagbaje:
Where is newmi? Thus boy of yours is looking for some attention o.

Sorry Jare mo wa, l was just watching proceedings hoping to at least make some sense from that my bonboi's posts but the boy dey fall my hand
This my bonboi is fulfilling scripture
Proverbs 22:15
"Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of corectionshall drive it far from him"

This is another concern that l have for my bonboi: When will he grow up!!!

@Nuclearboy
My boy nuclearbonboi  you know my biggest concern for you is that almost always  when am tempted to initiate a thought process of considering you as making sense then the desperate obsession of the character of your spirit to patronize foolishness and express the intensity of its corruption show up. You lack the decency to be called a Christian remember l have asked you time and time without number: of what value is your life to the kingdom of God.

No wait a minute bonboi; please tell us at least in all your ignorance you should know this, what is God's agenda for the church on earth today as far as the gospel of Jesus Christ is concerned.

Azibalua:
Nuclearbut
That picture is scary
You can come to the healing school
Only if you believe sha

it is not bomboi face that needs healing, it is his heart rather that needs regeneration.

Aletheia
Let me help you draw the line. I asked a simple question, is God against prosperity ? And also, Is covetousness thesame as prosperity? if you can answer these questions covetousness,your problem is half solved.

Jesus had said the gentiles seek after riches but for us.  it will come as jara.  no be so?

Matthew 6:33
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

so is riches from God or the devil?

those who call tithes and offerings fraud will soon call God fraud.Will

mabell:
Baby talk, no wonder newmi calls you boy

Prove Positive, thats my nuclearbonboi!

nuclearboy:
Interesting!

This is the 1st totally on-point message I've seen from author. And best of all, money is not mentioned here.

Truly mature

Bush boy, na who you won deceive no worry spear us we no need your support, how can you say that you have not come across Pastor Chris teaching on the Realms of the Spirit.
