Is TBJ in London? Why are people calling TBJ? When someone feels that he or she is cured of HIV and went back to do things that led him or her to contact HIV, It will come back in full force. That is what kills the person.

@posterkun,

Stop the name calling and let iron out your allegation. You alleged that Bishop Okonkwo charged $2000, were you at the conference or how did you get your information. You need to prove the allegation for us to believe you or we take to be one of your many attack on ministers of the gospel. Believe you me, if you can prove the allegation to be true, everyone in this forum will condemn the action SO LET US KNOW HOW YOU OBTAINED THAT INFORMATION.

Posterkun,
Oh! posterkun, what do you gain by lying against ministers of GOD ? If not Oyedepo, it is Pastor Chris. Now it is Bishop Okonkwo. Because you are possessed with lying spirit it is impossible to believe what you are saying. The integrity of Bishop Okonkwo is beyond doubt. To prove my point, if we probe further, posterkun we tell us that a member of TREM told him because posterkun did not attend the conference. So posterkun how do you obtain your information?

What many don't realize is that they are attracting greater curses upon themselves. Better watch your mouth. All the people saying one thing or the other, you don't know the resultant effect of their action. Soon you will pay for your action whether be good or bad.

@ poster,
ogoga4luv is a known worshiper of satan, so the only way he could convince us is to tell us that his master satan has told him that he put that verses in the BIBLE. No bi so ? GOD inspired the writing of the BIBLE, so ogaga4luv has to convince us that satan inspired that verses in the BIBLE.
Over to you ogaga4luv.

@poster,
As your forum name suggest, it seems VIRUS has effected your brain and thinking that made you to make such utterances.

@frosbel
It is a high time you learn to mind your own biz rather than getting involved in other men biz. If you are a sincere Christan as you claim to be, you would use your time to write on thread that will edify instead of the antagonism you show against other ministers of GOD. To say you are right and others wrong is immaturity because in the long run it could be you that is wrong.
Look at what happened in 1 kings 17, concerning Elijah, if it is in today's world, won't you say that a minister of GOD who do what Elijah did is a false prophet?1Kgs 17:8 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying,
1Kgs 17:9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
1Kgs 17:10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
1Kgs 17:11 And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
1Kgs 17:12 And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
1Kgs 17:13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
1Kgs 17:14 For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.
1Kgs 17:15 And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
1Kgs 17:16 And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Elijah.

When GOD is using HIS prophet, the devil will raise his agents to pollute and corrupt the mind of people against the prophet of GOD. When your mind is polluted and corrupted against that prophet of GOD, nothing from that prophet of GOD will ever get to you.
The preaching of the cross is foolishness. 1Corintians 1:18" For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God".

Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

@frosbel,
Why do you people fond of diverting thread.? I will appreciate if issues raised are tackled before going ahead to say other things you may have in mind.

Jesus made a statement in John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” That is to say the only way you can celebrate true freedom is to know the truth. And you can only know the truth by been guided by the Spirit of truth John 16:13 “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”
John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 15:26 ¶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John16:7 ¶ Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

It is unfortunate that people who don’t know GOD, who has no relationship with the HOLY, are the people making noise and claiming to be telling the truth. I WANT TO ASK, IS POSSIBLE TO GIVE OUT WHAT YOU DON’T HAVE?

Pilate asked Jesus a question in John 18:38 “Pilate saith unto him, “What is truth?”” You need to answer that question yourself, for until then you may be wallowing in falsehood while you are thinking you knew the truth.

It is said that the richest place on planet earth is the cemetery. This is because in the cemetery you will find buried many unfulfilled destinies. Many who died without realizing their destinies? Are you fulfilling destiny or are you operating in cycle going no where. To live and die without fulfilling your GOD ordained destiny will be a great regret.
The BIBLE said in Hosea 12:13 “And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt and by a prophet was he preserved.”

And in 2Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth Into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD Your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

Many lives have their destinies turned around via encounter with a prophet of GOD. In the story of Elijah, as seen in 1 Kings 17:8-13 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according tothe word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
In the story above, the woman of Zarephath and her son would have died of starvation if not her encounter with Elijah.

Also in 2Kings 4:1-7 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.

The same is true of the woman of Shunammite as seen in 2Ki 4:8-17 "And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
The prophets of GOD are agents of change and agents of preservation. The devil knows it and that is why he is using his agents in this forum to corrupt and pollute your minds against the PROPHETS of GOD who GOD may have positioned to use to turn your destiny around. Believe it or not, the prophets of GOD could guide you into knowing the mind of GOD for the hour. However a prophet of GOD you don't accept or believe cannot be a blessing to you. When you believe in a prophets of GOD you could have encounter with the prophets not necessarily on one on one basis, but via listening to their message and reading their books.

The BIBLE in Proverbs 6:16-19 mentioned six things the LORD hates, “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: (1) A proud look, (2) a lying tongue, (3)and hands that shed innocent blood,
(4)An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, (5) feet that be swift in running to mischief,
(6)A false witness that speaketh lies, and (7) he that soweth discord among brethren.
GOOD NEWS BIBLE
Six things are hated by the Lord; seven things are disgusting to him:
Eyes of pride, a false tongue, hands which take life without cause;
A heart full of evil designs, feet which are quick in running after sin;
A false witness, breathing out untrue words, and one who lets loose violent acts among brothers.
Are you involved in any of these things the LORD Hates?

Ogoamaka
are u sure u are pure? Everyday your conscience flogs u to make flimsy assertions. U claimed u never know this man in person and u have not met him, how come u keep on defending him as if u knew everything about him?

How did u know d mansion and cars pastorkun posted do not belong to Chris? How were u able to know dat it is a hotel and d cars belonged to people getting together? Are u a prophet?

Stop deceiving yourself. Its about time to come out of your shell if u are into dubious business

@Free123,
Who is deceiving himself but you and your cohort. It is a pity, only fools doubts real proof. You said i keep defending him, be it far from me. I am not competent to defend Pastor Chris or other MOG. When the Almighty GOD arises to defend these prophets of GOD you and your cohort are abusing, you will see your ears with your eyes. . However, what I am doing is to warn members and visitors to this forum about people like you who the devil is using against MOG.
Remember, He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just,
even they both are abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 17:15

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and
light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20

Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of
the righteous shall be delivered. Proverbs 11:21

Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD: though hand
join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. Proverbs 16:5

ogajim:

CEC PR staff? Is your so called Pastor a criminal?

You can answer that while we await PastorKun's response, have a great day.

@ogajim,
Dear ogajim, i am not a member of CEC and don't know Pastor Chris in person. I have never meet pastor Chris in person. My postings about Chris is to warn members about persons like YOU that the devil is using against MOG. If they be true MOG, soon you will come under GOD'S judgment if you don't repent.

Something happened recently which the Holy Spirit used to teach me a vital lesson. My laptop was faulty and I wanted to use the pc of my little daughter to execute a program. But I could not do so because what appears on the screen was that, that pc was not configured for that program that I should up grade to window seven.
The same is true of some of our current situation in life, what we need is but a spiritual upgrade and update. Unless you upgrade and update your spiritual life, you may end up going round and round the circle going nowhere. For you to move to a new level in your spiritual life, what you need is a spiritual upgrade.
Again, recently I didn’t know that I switched off automatic update of my laptop and I wanted to do something. What comes out was that the program I am using is outdated, that I should update to a new version. That is equally a vital lesson to learn. Many of us are outdated in our spiritual life and need spiritual update if we are to move to a new level in our spiritual life. In addition to the BIBLE, we can update our spiritual understanding through reading anointed books materials and as well as listening to anointed messages by great MOG.
The devil knows that the above is true and that is why he is using some in this forum to corrupt your mind against some great MOG whose teachings are the means of updating your spiritual life. Unless your spiritual life is updated, you may end up going round the circle.

During the time of Jesus, HE reprimanded lawyers of that day for taking away the key of knowledge Luke 11:52 "Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered."
Religions people of that day in turn accused Jesus of deceiving the people, John 7:12 “And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.” The same is true today, especially in this forum, millions of people are following the teachings of some great MOG. Their teachings are of great impact on the people, while few are in this forum talking evil of these MOG even calling them criminal.
The question that need answer by you, is Pastor Chris and other great MOG that are deceiving the people or the few elements in this forum that is deceiving the people? Some people in this forum are going no where, and they are doing everything possible to ensure that others follow them to go nowhere. “They did not enter in themselves, and those who were entering in they hindered."
It is left for you to answer the question, who is deceiving who? Is it Pastor Chris and other MOG that is deceiving the people? If so try everything to avoid them and their teaching. However, if those talking evil of Pastor Chris and other MOG are the deceiver, then ignore what they are saying in this forum.

The BIBLE said in Luke 6:45 "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” This is exactly the main reason behind all the negative write up of pastorkun against Pastor Chris. If not what on earth could make pastorkun to paste the picture of a HOTEL and claim that  the mansion belong to Pastor Chris just to corrupt the mind of the public? I brought out this thread to point out that the devil is using pastorkun to corrupt your mind against Pastor Chris.
The question is not whether Pastor Chris owns a mansion or not, but whether the mansion and vehicles as posted by pastorkun belong to Pastor Chris? First and foremost pastorkun should tell us which country and city that Pastor Chris resides? If that mansion is located in the country and city where Pastor Chris resides, then we can begin to ask if it belong to Pastor Chris or not.
Secondly, pastorkun should tell us which country and city that the mansion which he posted as belonging to pastor Chris is situated (located). That is whether in Abuja, Ikeja.V.I E.T.C. Pastorkun claimed that he got the picture from a member of CEC. That proves that the source of the picture is questionable as pastorkun cannot prove to us that the person is living person and a member of CEC. That picture pastorkun posted is a HOTEL with vehicles of people who are having get- together, so I advise pastorkun to desist from deceit and pollution and corruption of peoples mind. This evil campaign against Pastor Chris is a dangerous one because when GOD will answer him back, he has himself to blame.  Ecclesiastes 8:11 “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”

When it comes to the issue of tithing, many are quick to argue and argue over it why you should not pay your tithe. In this segment, we shall look at what to expect if you are obedient and faithful in paying your tithe. That is the rewards of tithing. This can be seen from Malachi 3:10-12 “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Malachi 3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.

In the above scriptures, GOD is saying that we should PROVE HIM NOW WITH THE ISSUE OF TITHING. Have you really proved GOD? The problem is that many people who had not proved GOD because they have no relationship with GOD are the people who are making so much noise in this forum that we should not pay tithe. BUT YOU –HAVE YOU PROVED GOD?
The following are what GOD said we should USE IN PROVING HIM.
The first, GOD said that HE will open you the windows of Heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Obeying GOD in tithe payment opens the windows of Heaven for THE blessing of GOD to come to you. See verse 12.
Secondly, we see in verse 11 for the second blessing, “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field” Many things (harm) that many CHRISTIANS suffer is as a result or the work of DEVOURER and GOD is saying that if you are faithful and obedient in paying your tithe, that HE will rebuke the DEVOURER.
We see the third blessing in verse 12 “And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land,” When you are obedient and faithful in paying tithe, the blessings of GOD will so noticeable in your life. Many CHRISTIANS who are not paying tithe don’t know what they are missing. As I said earlier in one of the thread, those who are opposing tithing who are they? Are they Christians in the first place?
No matter what anyone who is opposing tithing is saying, it is the payer that stands to benefits in the long run. I have really PROVED GOD and many have equally done so. WHY NOT PROVE GOD YOURSELF AND STOP ALL THESE UNNECESSARY AND UNPRODUCTIVE ARGUMENTS. As I have said, I have proved GOD faithful in my life that the three promises mentioned above are true. They are reality in my life and in the lives of many who are faithful in obeying GOD. Enigma wrote a thread asking people to vote about tithe. That is unnecessary; it is not a matter of casting vote because winner of vote cast cannot change the WORD of GOD.

wordtalk:

@ogoamaka99,

Tithing does not condemn anyone, nor does it save. So, God is not going to punish any Christian for not paying tithes under the new covenant. Most of the blessings in the old covenant (ie., the Law of Moses and prophets) apply to believers under the new covenant; but the curses or punishments in the old covenant may not all apply in the same fashion.
Tithing has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's salvation.

@wordtalk,
You do believe in tithing.? Do read Malachi 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Mal 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. If you actually believe in tithing you should the above scriptures.
GOD is not expecting an unbeliever to tithe. But for a christian who is not a tither there is great consequences.

The issue of tithing goes with lot and lots of controversy and arguments. Some say you should pay tithe while other strongly oppose tithing in all it’s ramification. However, in this segment we shall consider this question “WHO SHOULD PAY TITHE?” It is your answer to the above question that is necessary in handling the question of whether to pay tithe or not.

As we have seen in the scripture, tithing started before the law and tithing is never a commandment. In the old dispensation tithing was only limited to the Israelite, GOD never expected the Gentile nations to pay tithe. Only the covenant people Israel was to be paying their tithe and GOD punished them for failure to pay tithe.

So, when we talk about tithe in this dispensation, GOD is expecting tithe payment only from HIS covenant children, people who has relationship with HIM. YOU NEED TO ASK THIS VERY QUESTION - “AM I A CHILD OF GOD?” Do I have relationship with GOD? It is your answer to the above question that will determine whether GOD is expecting tithe payment from you OR NOT. This is because GOD is not expecting tithe payment from every body. To this end, GOD punishes those HE expect to pay tithe but are not obeying HIM, while HE is not bothered about unbelievers who HE is not expecting their tithe payment.

It is therefore logical that you ask yourself “those who are making noise in this forum that you should not pay tithe –are they children of GOD?” Assuming that you are a child of GOD and they are not and they are trying to convince you not to obey GOD because THEY ARE NOT OBEYING GOD regarding tithe. Be careful, GOD could punish you and they could not be punished. WHY? Remember if you are a child of GOD, that is, if you are a real Christian, the BIBLE said in Colossi ans 1:13 “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:” You are in a different kingdom. It is like you, refusing to pay your income tax because an American visitor to Nigeria is not paying income tax. In the eye of the law, income tax expectation from you in Nigeria is different from an American visitor to Nigeria. It is like Paul asking the Galatians in Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

There is a popular saying that in GOD'S judgment there is no appeal. The BIBLE said in 2Corinthians 5:10 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad". Also according to 1Peter 4:17 “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?"
1Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
The judgment of GOD is sure, and the BIBLE declares that the time is come that judgment MUST BEGIN at the house of GOD. Yes judgment MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD.

If judgment must begin at the house of GOD, then it means that pastors may be judged first. Yes, GOD is judging HIS church, purging it to sanitize the church of every wolves masquerading as pastors for selfish gain. Many go by the name “PASTOR” OR REVEREND to deceive people. The faith of some people has being over thrown be reasons of those wolves masquerading as pastors (MOG) while as they are not. Some carry drugs but use the name “pastor” or “Reverend” to deceive security operatives. Many atrocities have been perpetuated by many of these masquerading as MOG “pastors”

However, that all these are happening DOES NOT WARRANT YOU LABELING EVERY MOG AS FRAUD. There are many genuine MOG preaching undiluted gospel and many abound in this Country. So it is not that someone goes by the name “pastor” that makes him a MOG, after all there are people that answer pastor even in this forum such as “pastorkun”.
For those called of GOD but are misbehaving, GOD will SURELY visit HIS judgment on them. See Jeremiah 10:21 “For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the Lord: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.”

Jeremiah 12:10 “Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.”
Jeremiah 23:1-2 “Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the Lord.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.”

From the above scriptures, it is GOD who will judge erring pastors and not you. This is because we don’t have the power to judge any man how much more a MOG. Moreover, let this sink deep inside of us, the BIBLE said in Luke 6:37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged: condemn not, and you shall not be condemned: forgive, and you shall be forgiven” So you that goes about judging people yet you are doing worse things, the BIBLE said that you are condemning yourself. All these that you are saying pastors did, are you not doing worse things? Mathew 7:2 “For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.”

When Saul met Christ on the road to Damascus his life got transformed. Even his name was changed from Saul to Paul. The reason for that transformation was Paul's encounter with JESUS Acts 9:1-12.
The BIBLE has this to say about Saul in Acts 9:11-16 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

From the above encounter, JESUS testified of Paul that he is a chosen vessel unto HIM. For this reason, GOD was with him every where he went. GOD used him to write majority of New Testament books. This shows that Paul was known in Heaven and has full backing of Heaven. We see evidence of this in Acts 19:11-12 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
The same way Paul was known in Heaven, hell equally recognized his power and authority. We see evidence by the testimony of an evil spirit. See Acts 19:13-16 “Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.”

From the above encounter, it doesn’t matter who you claim to be. You can claim to be anybody but the question is- "WHAT DOES HEAVEN AND HELL SAY ABOUT YOU?" Does GOD know you? You must have an encounter with GOD though salvation before HE can know and testify of you.

Psalm 23 is a popular psalm we do recite quite often. But how real is verse one to many of us? Is the LORD really your shepherd?
Psalm 23:1 “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want”. Can you truly say that the LORD is your shepherd because you are HIS sheep? This is because the LORD can never be your shepherd unless you are HIS sheep.

The BIBLE said in John 10:14-16 “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”

The sheep suppose to know the voice of the shepherd and follows the shepherd. A sheep that refuse to follow the shepherd is at a risk of been devoured by wide animal because it will not be protected by the shepherd. Moreover, a sheep must be in company of other sheep under the care of the shepherd because the shepherd knows where green pasture is.

@Lagosshia,
I can see you do read the BIBLE even though you are a Muslim faithful. I encourage you to continue doing so. I want you to read this two chapters and react to it. Matt 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

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?
Mark 15:35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

@Enigma,

Thank you very much for pointing out grammatical errors. What you said is how argument in the forum should be, that is being able to support or oppose an argument someone has presented. As for other things you said, that is your opinion which you are entitled to. However, you need to get the full meaning of coherence as different from grammatical error. You can argue a point without name calling.

You said i defend MOG which is far from the truth as i am not competent nor in a position to defend any MOG. When GOD arises to defend these MOG your eyes will see your ears. What i am doing in the forum is to warn members of dangers of joining people like you to abuse MOG.

@wordtalk,
May the grace of GOD be upon you ever more.

@nuclear the BOY,
Oh! my boy , when will you stop exhibiting boyish mentality and show element of maturity? Only immaturity can make someone to speak before thinking.I wish members of this forum could analysis this and pass their judgment. How can nuclearBOY who had not been able to originate a meaningful thread accuse ogoamaka99 who had been originating average of two threads every week of been lazy.? How can nuclearBOY whose posts are incoherent and uncoordinated accuse ogoamaka99 of been empty and mentally deficient? Between ogoamaka99 and nuclearBOY who is empty and mentally deficient? You are accusing ogoamaka99 of been lazy, empty and mentally deficient in a thread originated by ogoamaka99,what an irony. My dear BOY, try to originate a meaningful thread and let see that wonderful stuff you are made up of

@Zikky, Aletheia and Enigma:
[b]Why bother? Ogoamaka99 proved himself long ago to be a boastful yet empty, proud, lazy and mentally deficient characterand [/b]we all know Jo supports only what supports his belly.

PLEASE nuclear the BOY, I 'M NOT ABLE TO GET THE MEANING OF MENTALLY DEFICIENT CHARACTERAND. Do help me with the meaning.

@wordtalk,
I didn't know that you could live to your I.D. name-"WORDTALK", this is because i can perceive that you are word loaded. I am sorry to say this, but it is the raw truth, it is a waste of precious time when you argue with people with mind set. There is nothing you say they can accept no matter it been a raw BIBLICAL truth. They feel that what they are saying themselves is the truth while they are in error because they lack the HOLY SPIRIT. Assuming they have the HOLY SPIRIT in them they wouldn't say what they are saying. I pray that their eyes of understanding could be opened. It is unfortunate that an unbeliever could choose PASTOR as his I.D. name unless he is a pastor in the church of satan because all his posts are anti christian and he could open his mouth to call a MOG criminal.

Its obvious makamaka edited his post after Zikky had quoted it and its equally obvious Jo has now realised but doesn't have the honor to apologise for his wrong "JUDGEMENT"!

Wha amazes me is the idea mooted by the former numbskull that it is only certain people like Revd King, late Akinola (lion of judah) and our odulele that have "activated" Abraham's blessings

@nuclear the BOY,
Pity you, look at your grammar. What do you mean by CHARACTERAND:WHA? You want me to descend to you myopic  level to argue with you.?

The issue of tithe, whenever it is mentioned in this forum some people are ready to fight over it. But my concern is that many of those opposing tithe are unbelievers, cultist, Satanist and people who never go to church at all. Assuming they are Christians with the spirit of GOD in them they would have said something meaningful.

The issue is that, tithe like other BIBLICAL injunctions is a spiritual matter and if you are not a Christian with the spirit of GOD you may not understand it.1Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned”. Because they lack spiritual understanding they will continue to oppose tithing.

But you a Christian, why allow an unbeliever to tell you what to do or not to do with respect to christian faith? I have said a number of times, if you are not convinced over tithe never waste your resource in the name of paying tithe. However, it will be unfortunate for unbelievers, occultist and people who never go to church to be the one influencing your action. It is folly for someone who does not understand what you understand to influence you. You have the spirit of GOD in you, how do you allow someone without the spirit of GOD to influence you?

I said it again tithing, is for your own good not anyone else. Those who oppose tithe, thinking that tithe is money meant for the pastors are totally wrong because pastors do pay tithe themselves. Those opposing tithe never go to church, how do they know how tithe is been used you should ask yourself?

Again ask yourself, when we talk about benefits of tithing, those opposing tithing will be quick to say that there is no benefit. How do they know if there is benefit or not since they don’t go to church and have never paid tithe? It is like saying that an apple you have never tasted is very bitter. You have to taste the apple first before you can confirm.

I am not here to tell you whether it is good or bad to pay tithe. Those who are paying tithe are reaping the benefits there of. Nobody is begging you to be paying your tithe. I am encouraging you to faithfully in paying your tithe, as your pastor may be encouraging you, so that you reap the benefits others paying tithe are reaping. Faithfully do so and confirm for yourself if there is benefit or not rather than base your action on argument by the sons of belial.

@Kunle, this looks like one of those multiple ID thingy, dude with a lot of background yet only managed 13 posts. Something fishy if you ask me.

Is he Kunle, why multiple I.D. to confuse people?
