Workch: Anyone who can turn just 1 out of 100 bowls of water into wine? I just require just 1% success rate from you, that’s how easy it is for anyone to even convince me with a testable evidence.
or a true seeker. The word of God is enough for salvation. Ask genuine questions about God. Don't give him assignments. He doesn't owe you any proofing.

Mat 16:1 — Mat 16:4 (KJV) 1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered and said unto them . .

sageb: With regards to prayer, I opine that you listen to Gospel songs before prayer. I know a lot of them depending on your mood and prayer points. Listen to Jaci velaquez - on my knees Or Nicole Mullen - when I call on Jesus So soul lifting
Nice counsel . . .
but How do you manage to have such large followership
Mylordmygod1: But the problem is that, he is that kind of pastor with swag, He goes to beer parlour to drink, he can go to gathering to play draft, (imaging the kind of people u see in a beer parlour of draft gathering), and because of this things he does, some people (expecially other churches) use it against us the members..
Three things you need to do urgently. 1.Pray for God intervention in the church. 2. Go to him and lay these issues before him. He may say its the flesh or he's battling with it or he repents or he justifies it with bible. the outcome will determine if you should report him to his superiors. through delegates or through a message . but treat with urgency
Woloaded: “All expensive schools owned by churches are satanic and unbiblical” — Evangelist Gideon Akande
What kind of Post is this?. At least the Pastors tried to give something to the society. Quality education , no Asu strike, NASU Strike,MAMSU Strike. RIOTS, Protests, school shut downs, salary unpaid, facility unmaintained .
if you call this Satanic You can build the angelic school.
Workch: The Bible is only accurate in your churches and not in reality
it's accurate in science. it's accurate in history.
your calendar is proof. prophecies fulfilled in the bible is proof,prophecies of immediate past is proof. God says Israel will cease to be a nation. it came to pass. The Bible says they will become a nation again . it came to pass after the world war. Plus The present day fulfilment. If you only get to study the bible, it's more accurate than tomorrow newspaper
petra1: The bible is more accurate than tomorrow science . except the question dont make sense. foolish questions are not for answers but to generate strife .
let the bible answer .
2 Timothy 2:23 23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
take time to get to know the bible . study the passages I quoted .
ChristCFASM: Thus says the Holy one of Israel, Chris, your hasn't profited me, you're leading people astray through your wrong teaching.
What is the wrong teaching. Why moo ot annalise them In the light of the light of the bible. Instead of using the name of God to prophesy your bible and biases.
Maybe you're right. Kindly analyse the erroneous teaching he did and show the light from the bible
Workch: [s][/s] No sane person takes anything from the Bible seriously
Nah..
I will let the bible answer you
Psalm 14. THE [empty-headed] fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable deeds; there is none that does good or right.
Read genesis 11. The earth divided into continents after the flood . Adam was still alive fee years to the flood . Adam saw Noah.
The whole earth were in one place . The whole earth had bbn one language. Until God scattered their la language and they broke into different communities . As they move away God divided the earth into continents under their feet .
Genesis 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided . .
Genesis 10:25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg [division], because [the inhabitants of] the earth were divided up in his days . .
This is what led to what science call "continental drift
Urbanchampion: Na wetin the GO see to take church money do be that, he couldn't build school, hospital or market? It's police station that he saw.
all the ones he built nko? where were you when he built Air-conditioned auditorium for Ambrose Ali University. with Big Generator. where were you when He Gave 1 Biilion to build library for a University in Benin. amd many many
Dtruthspeaker: You missed the word "which are alive". Surely, Paul and the disciples did not rapture.
I didn't say they rapture. I said Paul was expecting the rapture in his time also. rapture is not for the resurrected saints only . living saints were expecting the rapture also that's my point
Wakeupchristian: I think you need to go through the message again to understand what it means to "be alive and remain" , and to be caught up. To be caught up does not require the physical body. Examine the scriptures objectively with an open mind and it will open to you. You don't have to run with the crowd.
No you need to check your theology. practice taking the scriptures for what it says pls
Wakeupchristian: Every man on earth must experience death of the physical body, in fulfillment of the scripture: “It is appointed unto men once to die” (Hebrews 9:27). In other words, the physical body must be dropped on earth to release the soul for the journey ahead. The believer who imagines that his physical body will be transformed and lifted into heaven, lacks the right understanding of the above scripture. Only the spirit can ascend back to the spiritual realm.
No nawn. . .The Bible teaches about being caught up alive bodily. . . Remember Paul was expecting the rapture "caught up" in his own generation
1 Thessalonians 4:17 ( 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Pheurly2: My dad is a pastor, doing well for himself and I support my dad , I don't mean bad for him But the problem I have is they've been telling me to be a pastor, and I'm tired of the songs everyday... Actually I don't want to be a pastor and I don't have any desire or zeal to be a pastor, I've tried to explain to them most of the things I want to be in life ... still yet they're forcing the word pastor into my life.. I believe someone can do other things and still get loved by God, I don't want to get the title pastor behind my name...I know being a pastor is not a bad thing but I don't desire..I desire other things apart from being a pastor. My parents force me to preach in church which many times I do it not to emba them in public but deep down I know I don't desire... I literally do other things to the glory of God in church, I play keyboard, I sing in church, I clean the church...and I've also prayed to God I don't want to be a pastor... I asked them why I should be a pastor no strong reason, because in the family most of the male children are pastors.. etc I'm 21years old
Please what should I do? At least I have gotten to a stage in life where I can make some decisions for myself...but my parents are not just allowing it, not only in this pastoral issue...
Please I need your advise. Thanks
Give your life to christ. I think you're facing many internal distraction. And your parents knows it's not about being a Pastor . They could feel the distraction that is brewing inside of you. and they feel by pushing you in ministry will kill it.
Using such language as you being "Tired of the songs" is a red flag. You were dedicated to God. most times Satan come after Pastors children to make them wayward. don't give in to it. Get to know christ personally. love God with passion. every christian is supposed to be a preacher how much more a pastors kid.
cut off from your wrong circle of friends. you know what in talking about.
You posted these things because of the support you want to get from others and you may get many people here telling you what you want to hear. But I tell you . every christian in a preacher every christian is a minister. every christian ought to love God and do ministry. except there's a distraction .
You don't have to carry the name Pastor but you must do ministry. it doesn't stop you from any other profession. Kenneth Hagin Jr. also was distracted . went to join army etc. thank God he found his way back. Satan comes for preachers kid. He knows they were dedicated to God through prophecy. They fact fact that a preacher kid become a drug addict doesn't mean God made it so . Its an attack
Because God wants it so .God created structure of leadership in the body of Christ.
Why can he not be without a pastor?
You have to be submitted to someone .It's either you're leading or being led
Where in the bible was this stated?
Hebrews 13:17 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Are you incapable of doing what your pastor does?
1Co 12:28 — 1Co 12:29 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles
Or are you not a man/woman of God too?
True disciples of Christ were men of God too. But there's leadership structure in God's kingdom. God govern his people through leadership. its only rebels who dont recognise this and claim equality in rank. " WE are all annointed. we are all holy"
Num 16:3 — Num 16:4 (ASV) 3 and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and Jehovah is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of Jehovah? 4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
Everyone is called (assuming the bible is true)
Hebrews 5:4 (KJV) 4 And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
Matthew 22:14 (KJV) 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.
It is frustrating to see how much you labor in the vineyard... Praying Studying Teaching Counselling Comforting Rebuking Sacrificing Leading Thinking Planning Praising Motivating Burying Writing Visiting Etc
And all of them seem to not be yielding fruit...
Sometimes, instead of the work growing, people are leaving...
Sometimes, the ones you pray for, gossip you.
Sometimes, the ones you teaching fights you behind you, claiming same knowledge you taught them..
Sometimes, the ones you give your all, leave you for being local, but you were not local, when they came in need....
Sometimes, they are in your leadership team, but also in Absalom's camp...
Sometimes, you are going hungry, and none of them notice the dimness in your eyes, cos you kept smiling....
Let's not even talk about what some of us do to each other..... In jealousy, envy and bitterness...
A lot that Pastors go through, without complaining....
When you see a pastor shout or fall, it's not often because he does not know the truth, but the strain of this work is beyond human capacity... (Don't be quick to judge a pastor)
Saw the post somewhere . . . . take what is applicable to you there and leave the rest.
