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

Knowing God and taking advantage of that knowledge leads to a meaningful life. Nobody knew the day they were born except what they were told by the witnesses of their birth. We all became aware of our own selves and our own environment in the process of time as we grew older. As you grow older in self-awareness, you begin to ask questions about who you are, where you came from, who created you, where you are going, etc. All of these questions have answers in the Holy Scriptures. The very first thing that all people need is the Kingdom of God and God’s righteousness. Seek God because He is your creator who knows all things and your life proceeded from Him; seek His Son Jesus Christ, who is God’s righteousness, has eternal life for your soul, and has shown mankind the way to live to please God (John 14:6). Seek them through His Word, and everything you need in life to make life meaningful and joyous will be supplied. Hallelujah! Be blessed!

"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. Psalm 23:2"

The further you know is the further you can go. God is so good that He has made Himself known through all the things He has created. Therefore, even the illiterate can know that God exists and that His loving-kindness is everlasting. Knowing that the world has a thirst for knowledge, He has summarized everything about Himself and the things He has created in His Word, called the Holy Bible or Holy Scriptures. God has the very best for His children, and He wants them to be obedient and submissive so that He can lead them to the inheritance He has prepared for them here on Earth and the hereafter in heaven. Dear beloved, always submit yourself to God, His Word, and the authorities He has set over you, and you will enjoy the manifold blessings of God. Hallelujah! You are blessed!

LilMissFavvy:
I used to think issues like this should be a daughter and mom kind of thing, maybe I'm wrong.

u are very wrong

iLegendd:
I actually get your question, but I don't have the energy to go in details.

Since I hardly go out and even when I do, I don't bother about girls, I really have less to worry about. For those who go out soley to meet girls, they need to figure that out by themselves.

When I used to go out for girls, I was in school, in a country all the girls were whites or Asians, so no spiritual things to worry about. They're not as superstitious as Africans.

In Nigeria here, I have zero interest to go out for women. If I'm interested in knowing you more, our spirit must connect first. It just happens naturally. No trick.

Yes, every woman has a business proposal in them. It's left for the guy, the wise guy, to find out and see if you can profit from it. 50/50.

ok thanks

iLegendd:
By focusing more on the business opportunities a woman brings, not her private part. This one has someone in China and I know about it. That is a business opportunity right there. You import cheaply from China, sell high in Nigeria.

I don't think u get the question.
I'm not talking about this girl, I'm talking about girls in general. how do u discern between the one that has been sent to drain u spiritually and the one that is genuine before u get intimate with them. Do all the girls u come in contact with come with business proposals?

iLegendd:
With all the infections and spiritual attacks around, no wise person changes woman like that. Be rest assured.

I was getting scared for u but thank God u know this secret...but how are u able to discern between the one that has a demon in her and the one that doesn't have. Some are only there to drain u and leave u empty spiritually and financially. I'm a fan by the way

"Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. Song of Solomon 2:15"

Knowing who you really are puts you in a position to make good choices. The Kingdom of God has all the information you need to have a fulfilling life, and the Holy Scriptures have all the information that the children of God need to make a greater impact in their world. Jesus Christ is the true vine, and we, the true Christians, are the branches (John 15:5). As branches, we need to be alert to identify the little foxes that can hinder our growth and fruit bearing. The little foxes could be a particular sin that keeps pulling us backward. It could be a habit that dents our focus on our vision. It could also be a family trait that is fighting your progress. Dear beloved, watch and pray and cooperate with the Holy Spirit, and you will be able to identify them; He will also give you the grace and direction to deal with them so that you can continue bearing good and abundant fruit for Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! You are an Overcomer!

"For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. Isaiah 41:13"

Building a strong relationship with the LORD opens doors to endless blessings. Even though God Almighty is the creator of the universe and everything therein, He is a relational being. He loves to build relationships with people who are willing to fear and serve Him. He visited Adam and Eve in the cool of the day to fellowship with them (Genesis 3:. He called Abraham His friend and David a man after His heart. Dear beloved, spend your whole life getting to know God and building a strong relationship with Him through His Word, fellowship, obedience, and service, and He will be ever ready to give you all the support you need to live a joyous and meaningful life. Hallelujah! Be God’s friend!

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1"

Greatness does not come by accident; it comes to those who prepare themselves with the right knowledge and skills and take advantage of the opportunities that God makes available to them (Ecclesiastes 9:11). Our God, the creator, puts in motion the universe by first creating heaven, His throne, and the earth, His footstool (Matthew 5:34–35). No one knows the measurement of heaven and Earth except God. These two creations of God tell us that when we begin our lives with God, greatness is inevitable. In this dispensation, He has revealed Himself in the person of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without Jesus Christ in your life, everything you do on Earth is meaningless and disregarded by the Most High (Matthew 16:26). Dear beloved, begin your life with Jesus Christ, remain in Him, and submit to Him, and He will teach you how to be great through His Word. Hallelujah! Be an overcomer!

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. John 16:33"

Dwell on the things that Jesus Christ said will produce divine peace in your life. Jesus Christ touched on a number of subjects before going to the cross. He touched on the hatred of the world, which will kill His disciples and put many out of the synagogue, and the work of the Holy Spirit. He spoke about His departure and the sorrow of His disciples that would be turned into joy. Finally He said they should cheer up because He has overcome the world. Dear beloved, meditate on all that Jesus Christ said, and you will find absolute peace in your life because His words are so powerful that they work miracles. Don’t allow anything or anyone to take away your joy and peace in Christ. Tribulations, trials, and challenges will come, but be conscious of the fact that they have not come to stay; they have come to test and strengthen your faith in God, so be joyful and always celebrate the goodness of God. Then you will not feel them. Truly you are an overcomer because Jesus has overcome the world. Hallelujah! Be Blessed

"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9"

Walking in the Word of God dispels every form of fear. The devil and his demons are aware of the power of God’s Word; hence, they do all they can to prevent the children of God from studying and meditating on the Holy Scriptures. They also create doubt in the mind of God’s people to stop them from trusting God’s Word for solutions. Joshua was commanded the second time to be strong and courageous before he could gather the courage to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land. Dear beloved, the Word of God is coming to you today; it is telling you to be strong and courageous because you have not been given the spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Trust the Word of God, speak faith-filled words to counter any doubt or fear waging war against you, and you will win. Go ahead and do what God has commanded you to do for Him, and you will succeed. If God has given you a business idea, try it out because He has given you the grace to prosper therein. May you never give up in life in Jesus’s name. Amen! Be blessed!

ahnie:
Noted....thank you!
I get tired easily trying to argue or prove a point, because e dey pan me out completely.
So I try as much as possible to ignore.

My dear...I m not an hypocrite,that hides under religion to fake a life in christ.its not about going to church or pretending to be a Christian.

The question is...how saved are you?are you doing what God asked you to do?are you adhering to his laid down doctrines?

Keep pretence aside....keep comestic Christlike forming aside,are you keeping Gods commandments?

I use to go to church fervently years ago,but it's people like you that made me changed my mind,my thinking and perspectives about Nigerian church warmers

You're here quoting excerpts from the holy book to me(No offence taken)but m pretty sure you're not one door closed to salvation.

Why form,why jwee?I m not an atheist I believe him God and his teachings and doctrines and I try my best to adhere to them,I think thats all that matters as long as my heart and intentions are clean and I don't ploy evil against any soul.

My dear...I m a very straight forward and blunt person,abeg run your race make I run my race, salvation na per head.
Las Las na all of us get Jesus....e go reach every body.


I thank you for sparing your time to educate me the importance of life in Christ.
Happy weekend.

I'm doing what God sent me to do preach the Gospel and how do u know I'm pretending cause I'm doing what everyone is supposed to do.

U used to go to church but people discouraged u?? Just listen to urself. Is it man that gives eternal life.
Everyone is running one race to make heaven don't be left behind.
Ur heart might be clean but if u re not in christ it's a waste of time. If e look like panadol e no mean say e b panadol

Hi ahnie . I love the way u write. I love that u are proud of ur hustle, who wouldn't be proud doing something legit that pays their BILLS but there is more to this life than just doing something that pays Ur bills.

Please read to the end even though I don't write as good as u do.

In the book of judges 1: 5-7 a king by the name Adonibezek confessed before he died that he cut off the big toes and thumbs of 70 KINGS and had the feeding from under his table.
Please let me explain that to u though I don't know how spiritually minded u are but from Ur writings u re an educated person and also vast in Ur thinking so u won't find it hard to understand that TOES are what help a man/woman gain speed in a race and Ur thumbs are Ur identity it's used in the banks, for nin verification etc.
Now what I'm I saying except u prove me otherwise u are supposed to be much more than some akara seller at a Junction but u are now a 'KING' that has lost her identity only to be called a mere bean cake seller and u are very proud of it for no other reason than it pays Ur BILLS and because of that u have lost the speed and advancement u need in life u re now only concerned about paying bills. Ur bills are not more than 1million a month (that's an over exaggeration) yet people that pay that as NEPA bill still go to church talk less of staff and other needs they need to attend to. u let Ur bills and business consume Ur time and energy. U said in one of ur posts that u make more money on Sundays, that is the devil keeping u from seeing the LIGHT. Forget about people telling u u will go to hell if u don't go to church. Bills will always be there, problems of life will always be there and the money u are chasing will never be enough. Dangote still dey find money. Jeff bezoz still dey find money. All of us go die live money. Locking up Ur shop on Sunday will not kill Ur business. Some people are not hustling as much as u do yet they make more money.
Bottom line is between money and Christ (eternal life) which one u go choose.

Lest I forget u might say u don't have any Adonibezek doing u but even Jesus had a Judas. And don't forget that the enemies of a man/woman are those in his house hold.

My message might not be as coherent as I might have wanted it to be but I hope u will understand it.
Jesus loves u....

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18"

A good attitude toward eternal things positions you for eternal blessings. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ brought deliverance to mankind. Many who have taken advantage of the salvation of our Lord Jesus can testify that indeed the gospel is the power of God. It has the power to transform a thief, liar, fornicator, criminal, etc., into a child of God who is now filled with righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). However, those who are still adamantly against receiving Christ Jesus into their lives think it is foolish because they have allowed themselves to be deceived by the devil. Dear beloved, don’t ever complain when you are born again. Instead, continually feed on the gospel. and it will shape your thoughts and empower your actions for success. Hallelujah! Be an overcomer!

"And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. Ecclesiastes 12:9"

Being focused puts all distractors to shame. The Kingdom of God is directly opposite of the kingdom of the world. For example, the world says, “If I can see it and touch it, then I will believe,” but the Word of God says, “If I can only believe, then I will see it or have it,” (Mark 9:23). We have been called into God’s Kingdom for a purpose. The primary purpose is to save souls through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are many souls that are in pain, miserable, and dejected because Jesus Christ is absent in their lives. Dear beloved, you don’t have to start big; start by showing the love of Christ to those you see in need. While you meet their needs with the little resources you have, teach them the way of salvation so that they can have Christ. When Jesus Christ comes into their life, He will change their story through the power of the Holy Spirit in the process of time. May God help you to focus on your calling. Hallelujah! Be a soul winner!

youngdave78 past=108625167:
I was wondering if it's a most to take your tithes to church?

Ur tithe is one tenth of Ur earnings or salary. That is for God and strictly for God any other form of giving is 'helps' that one u can choose whom u want to give it to

"And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them; Deuteronomy 20:3"

Taking advantage of the knowledge you have in the Kingdom of God will always position you for success. The children of Israel occasionally had to fight their enemies to expand their territory and to live in peace. As a child of God, you are a spiritual Israelite, and for that matter, you have an ongoing battle with your archenemy, the devil, and his cohorts of darkness. Become used to the fact that you always have enemies so that you are always prepared to fight them. You have the Holy Scriptures, the name of Jesus, and the power of the Holy Spirit as weapons to fight and defeat them. Therefore, arm yourself with your weapons, and always be ready to engage your enemies and win. They are responsible for poverty, diseases, pride, divorces, disappointments, stagnation, setbacks, and the like. Take charge and dominate your world. Hallelujah! You are an overcomer!

Pray and fast. reduce the way u eat.only eat from 12pm every day. It might sound out of touch but I'm a living testament

"Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. Jeremiah 1:17"

Living in obedience to the Word of God brings peace, prosperity, joy, unity, development, and more. Jeremiah was called and commissioned by God to speak to the children of Israel. He looked at his weaknesses and wanted to make excuses, but God didn’t accept these excuses. Nonetheless, he was sent and cautioned by God never to be afraid of the faces of his audience or he would be confounded or broken down in front of them. Dear beloved, the time for excuses is over. Take advantage of the grace of God, and go ahead to do what God has asked you to do in this new year; in prompt obedience, God empowers you to accomplish His assignment miraculously, and at the end of it, you will have cause to give Him the glory and testimony. Hallelujah! Be an overcomer!

ahnie:
The word love should be replaced with infatuation.
The Nigerian factor has made love to go extinct.

I for one,if you tell me you love me....the kind eyes I go look u with eeh?

"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. Romans 15:13"

Saying amen to prayer affirms your faith and brings it to pass. The Apostle Paul prayed for his converts in Rome, and this prayer is relevant to us today. Any time you see such a good prayer in the Bible, read it aloud and say amen to it, and it will be done for you. “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit”. We are truly serving a God of hope who is capable of filling us with joy and peace. Dear beloved, keep believing in the promises of God, and He will one day reward your hope just like He did Abraham (Romans 4:18–19). May the Lord reward your hope in Jesus’s name. Amen! You are an overcomer!

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20"

Knowing who you are in Christ is the beginning of living a triumphant life. Christianity has levels of maturity, and it is vital for every Christian to know this and make a conscious effort to grow to full maturity to enjoy the highest blessing of God. Apostle Paul gives us a true picture of what true Christianity is about. It is about being crucified with Christ and allowing Christ Jesus to live and work in you and with you, meaning that you totally sacrifice your own will, desires, and dreams and fully embrace the will of Christ while living His will to the full. Dear beloved, are you pursuing your own will and desires? Your own will and desires will have no reward in heaven. Fellowship with the Holy Spirit, the Word of God, and Jesus Christ will show you specifically what He wants you to do for Him. His anointing will lead you to do good and relieve the oppressed (Acts 10:38). Hallelujah! Be a true Christian!

"Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. Isaiah 1:5"

Making God your priority always puts you on the winning side. The Word of God opens your spirit to receive nourishment from God and feeds your mind with the right thoughts to live the will of God on Earth. Any Christian who feeds their soul and spirit with other materials more than the Word of God will have a sick head and a faint heart. Do you know what that implies? A sick head will make you foolish, and a faint heart will be unresponsive to God; these will lead to sin and total failure in the sight of God. Dear beloved, don’t live a day without meditating on the Word of God, because it is your life. The Word of God will fill you with godly thoughts, influence you to make the right decisions, guide your actions, and lead you to glory. May you prioritize the Word of God in your life. Hallelujah! Be blessed!

God reward those who diligently wait on Him, but please note that the earth was not created to be imperfect but the devil with conjunction with humans made it imperfect.

And also heaven is not your home, earth is your home. The only reason you will go to heaven is because we need a temporary place to stay untill the creation of a new heaven and new earth which will be after the rapture

Yes the earth wasn't created to be imperfect but the message is saying do not crumble under the imperfections of the earth but look unto God to solve the challenges that Come with an imperfect world
