If we kill all our enemies who do we convert? |
^^^ People that dont have the supernatural always doubt the supernatural. If someone has never prayed for some1 that had malaria how do you expect him to believe cancer can disappear, its beyond their comprehension jare. They come here criticizing things they know nothing about, this same pple would have killed Jesus if he came in our time. Who verified the miracles of christ? How many of the pple Jesus and the apostles healed that we know what happened after the healing. Did the bible record how they retained the miracles? How long they lived after they got healed? We didnt hear anything about the woman with the issue of blood, how she lived her life after the healing. This critics will go on and on to criticise things they know nothing about. Me Isoun will not let anyone not to talk, they are only fulfilling scriptures. And according to pastor chris they dont count, imagine ants threatening an elephant. The elephant will just laugh cos there is no point talking back to the ant. |
what do you mean by 'GOOD'? Everyman should walk out his salvation with fear and trembling. Alot of times pple let bad things happen to them because of ignorance. Its up to us what we do with what God has given to us in christ Jesus. Men have their part to play in having a great life. All thing works together for good to them that love God, Joseph was in prison for false accusation but it turned out good for him. We just need to trust God in all things. What looks bad today its for good tommorow. |
Thank you jo. Great words from God's word. |
If you take miracles out of christianity then you are saying Jesus did not rise from the death. The son of man came to destroy the works of the devil. Father thank you for every miracle that took place in NOB, that was your power and glory. Indeed i serve the resurrected christ. |
Wow!!! NOB was a blessing to me. There are words i heard that have been my contemplation since last night. When pastor chris explained how jesus ascended into heaven and how he will come back very soon. I told myself i need to do more for Jesus christ before he comes back to get me. And the explanation of the priniciples of faith,hope and love. Faith for now, hope is for the future and love is for always. And the greatest of these is love. Loving pple like the way God loves them that will make you to value every life. Pastor also talked about winning in the face of opposition, cos we are destined to win. He said our adversaries dont count that someone dont like you should never be a factor. Always know that God loves you and has made you to win no matter what comes against you in life. Take daring steps and think globally cos there is a giant in you that the world needs. Thank God for these words like pastor chris will say, what God want to give you is not money, its not a job, its not a healing. What God want to give you is the word of God in your spirit cos it will make you what it talks about. Therefore go for the word cos everything you need in life is wrapped up in the word. Praise God. |
Claus:Prayer its a tool in our hands, we can change anything with our prayers. God bless you. Have a great weekend. |
Zikkyy: |
Claus:I take a deep breath here. We can change anything when we pray. I believe i can change anything thats my mentality, so i talk less and pray more. God is depending on us, if a man can notice a mistake he can also correct that mistake, the ability is given. |
Joagbaje:lol, I dont know which one jare but i know it starts with ka, And you understand what i am trying to communicate. |
Zikkyy:Hmmmm . I dey suspect you o. This one you are avoiding the topic, ![]() |
Claus:Alot of people dont know their place in the body of christ. What did you do about a pastor coercing people, did you report to an higher authority or you simply got angry and walked away. See, God gives us opportunities to perfect each other, some1 might be doing that based on i want to hit a target and not thinking of how the pple feel when nobody says anything to him or her. If everybody gets angry and walks away from something we can change with our prayers and reporting the matter. We need more brave pple in the body of christ, pple that can improve lives when they can perfect it. We all have our parts to play. Getting angry and abusing people will not make a different but seeking Gods face on how you can be a change to something that should be changed. Success is impacting your world with your personality, its someone becoming an addition to a person or people. |
Zikkyy:I think alot of people misjudge Jo. He has never supported coercing pple to give from the posts he make in nl. |
Giving its a principle, you will certainly recieve an harvest when you give. But you cant tell God the kind of harvest you want to recieve. And there are different kind of givings. The spirit of God can tell someone to sow a seed to come out of something or receive something, thats personal. When ABRAHAM wanted to sacrifice his son, what did he expect? The man trusted God with his all, he was ready to sacrifice anything for God. God looks at our motive and attutude towards giving, he does not need what we got to offer but how we are willing to let go of anything and have him. Like JESUS told the rich man that came to him, Jesus was not against his riches but he wanted to know if he can forsake all just to follow him. |
^^^ Correct. The church of christ is being perfected daily always remember that. In the church i attend if my pastor ever hear that members were forced to give that leader will be in trouble. People should give with a conviction and a willing attitude, when they are forced they start murmuring and complaining and that giving may not be rewarded and that could bring doubt to the message of giving. It works but giving should be based on revelation and conviction. |
^^^ What i mean is when a christian give, opportunities will be open to him. It could be a business door you never imagined possible coming to you. A contact or contract you didnt ask or struggle to get. It makes life less stressful. Its not kabukabu cos some pple give a particular thing and expect a particular thing, thats wrong. That you gave a car do not mean you will get a bigger car, and the reason for giving a car should not because you want a bigger car thats my point. God can reward you with any other thing. Thats why some pple get frustrated after giving bc they were expecting a particular harvest. Giving is basically an act of worship, love and surrender to God. God owns everything, if he needs anything he will not ask us. But we demonstrate our trust and love for him with our much we give to him. |
^^^^ I dont know about that form of prosperity. I personally was not a business person but my mentality changed when i started listening to my pastor, giving has his part but cannot remove the fact that we need to do something with our hands. Right now i make more money from selling shirts and shoes than my salary in the office. I remember my pastor asking a stricking statement, you are making every other person a millionaire by buying from them, what can others buy from you? That statement changed my mentality. God will bless the works of our hands, we need to have something doing for God to bless. A lazy christian will remain poor. When you give doors of making money are open to us, we grab the opportunuties. We cant close our eyes to opportunities and say i gave and nothing happened, giving is not kapukapu. God is not a gambler, abi na bribery and corruption? |
^^^ Christ did not teach us to kill our enemies or hate them. We dont need to bother about them cos the end is they will stumble and fall. If anybody decide to be your enemy he has also decided to stumble and fall, period. Vengeance belong to God, evil cannot prevail over God's pple. Fear is the door way, just discover who God has made you and walk in that conciousness. And know how to tackle his devices( manipulations, tricks and strategies). He has not changed from attacking us with, what the eyes, mind and flesh wants. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. The truth will keep you free. |
Jesus told people after healing them to go and sin no more OR what will happen? Something worse will come upon them. You dont go and sleep after getting healed bc the devil has not gone to sleep in that case. His aim is to kill, he goes around seeking who to destroy. People need to be thought the word of God on how to stay healthy after healing as Jesus warned pple after healing them. |
The best help is to give someone a net and teach him how to catch fishes. That way the man can stand on his own and help others too. Self development and maximising ones potentials is what pple need to know. There are so many lazy christians even when they are given money, they come back broke tommorow cos they have a wrong oreintatation and programming. Poverty is a mind set, nobody with an investment and profit mentality will be a dependant. There are so many things to do around us to make money, money no go come down from heaven o. Pastor cant be giving bread and tea to brethren everyday, thats even no help sef in the world now. |
^^^ Come out straight zikky? Was Jesus born with sin in him? His conception was not like every other human being, he was GOD( word). Two pple come together to give a human the adamic nature. His was different, i know if we want to analyze with our knowledge of biology its unbelieveable but what did the bible say? Heb 4:15 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin . KJV He DIDNT SIN neither was he born with sinful nature. He only became sin when he carried the sin of the world on the cross. |
chukwudi44:Chineke!!! Jesus was the word made flesh, he was the child of the holy ghost o. He was sinless, stop posting nonsense. |
:-x :-x :-x |
Great testimony. God is faithful to his children. |
@kunle Paul called Timothy his son, what do you think Timothy called Paul? 1 Cor 4:14-16 14 I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. 15 For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16 Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. KJV 1 Cor 4:17 17 For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church. KJV |
Joagbaje:It is very important because it is an instruction from the master, we are to preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15-16 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. KJV I think a christian that do not preach the gospel is not convinced about christ, Cos if you are you cant keep quiet you will tell somebody else about the goodnews. If we love the master as we claim then we must tell people about the love of God, like paul he said woe unto me if i preach not the gospel, it ought to be like fire in our bones. Joagbaje:It is compulsory for every christian not just for pastors and evangelist but as many that has believed on his name. Matt 28:18-20 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. KJV Joagbaje: |
mabell:This is so important Mabell, i remember going to preach to prostitutes in their camp, it was not easy at first as i didnt know how to enter their world and then most motorist that saw me with them always looked at me in a funny way. A man even attacked me for coming to preach to prostitutes instead of decent pple around. I EXPLAINED to him that Jesus died for everybody including prostitutes.Later the girls got close to me, some opened up to me on how they started prostituting. When they dont see me on the days i go there they started calling. The challenge is most of them are so angry with society, God, Family etc. They are all blaming someone for their situation. I think the most powerful tool is prayer, cos they see what they as doing as helping themselves cos there is nobody to help. Even when we offered decent jobs, they saw it as hard work, since they were use to making money without much stress. And most of them are so nice, i have never stopped praying for them, some even told me their real names. Anytime i was leaving the camp, alot of them will follow me and stop a car and sometimes offer to pay the fair then. Even if i have left that area my heart still long for them and i know i have sown seeds in their heart, one day some of them will come out of prostitution. We need to preach the gospel, time is running out. |
My experiences in evangelism have been wonderful. Two weeks ago i went out for evangelism i met i young man standing at a corner, i greeted him and started sharing the gospel with him. The guy started shouting, that he will never go to church in his life, that he was frustrated that he has been jobless for years after graduation. That was a good place to start from, his frustrations, i talked about God carrying all his cares, but he needed to come to God first as that was the greatest miracle a man can ever receive. I preached Christ to him not a religion or a church. After few minutes he stopped shouting he started listening to me. Although he didnt make Jesus lord of his life that day, i took his mobile number, so i cld follow him up. And i interceded for him, spent hours doing that, i prayed that the light of the gospel will shine into his heart and i paralzed every frustrations in his heart with prayers, cos i know prayer is a tool for effective evangelism. The first week i invited him to church he was still angry, he said he will never go to church, that i was wasting my time. After two weeks of consistent calls and prayers he was in church a week ago, glory to God! That was a step to the right direction, i will give his name and details to the follow -up department in church so a brother can visit him, as a sister do not visit a first timer alone. When we go out for evangelism we need to be moved with compassion, we need to be dead to self as everybody might not be nice to us, but look beyond their attitude look at the soul that needs to be saved, knowing that Jesus actually died for everyone. It does not matter if they insult you or talk you down, God will reward you. And always remember the word is a seed, so even if the person did not give his heart to christ immediately continue praying for the person, he will someday. Evangelism is our number one responsibility and we have the ability to carry it out. Thats the reason for the holy spirit, for effective witnessing. Shalom. |
^^^ Is to be born again(new creation), that is to believe in the resurrected christ and what he did for us on the cross. When you receive the life of God, then you can walk in newness of life. The believing ones are to live the christian life, a consecrated life unto the master cos Jesus bought us with a price. Therefore we are to live for him as long as we live, not unto ourselves anymore cos he is LORD over us. We cant afford to do whatever we like but to do what he wants. |
carry go with the suspicion
