It's not really the government, its the devil influencing them.

Bacteriologist:
So why won't giving to the lying dishonest conmen of Yahweh not be included in the Yahweh's BuyBull?

Don’t take out your frustration on God. He’s the your life solution

Why would anyone even take what the Bible says with a pinch of salt?.

Because it’s the word of God . It’s a book of prophecy , which’s brings hope to your future and gives your life a meaning

No wonder the government official cant provide any video of photo as usual . What are they looking for inside a locked church?

coputa:
i was about giving him, proverbs 11 vs 24 - 25

coputa:
he does'nt seem to be a believer

Ah act 8:21 should have been my reference

Bacteriologist:
Tell that to the scammers in suit with private jets and luxury apartments in banana island. Why does an all-powerful, infinite source of wealth need your own money as "a form of worship?'

Giving in the house of God is a principles Read you bible .

1 Corinthians 16:2
2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

TATIME:
Well i think it's easier when the outbreak began because all the so called Pastors ran for cover when the pandemic began.
Instead of going straight to the government to prove their ability to heal all manner of sicknesses as they used to make shows on TV, none of them show up when the government began deliberating on the next thing to do.
Is it now that their business centers is locked down due to orders given to prevent the spread that they're now coming to talk shit?
Please if anyone have anything to do let them get infected and confirmed, then they will be locked up with other patients, there they can prove before everyone that the miracles they present on TV are not just stage shows but real!

And who told you they haven’t tried . Does government give access to the Covid hospital ? I was there myself to pray for the sick but was turned back at the gate

Bacteriologist:
You are poor because you are not EARNING.

Nowhere in the world do people get rich by giving pastors money. That doctrine was created by people who want to take out of the little you have by selling you a false hope of getting rich if you enrich them FIRST.

If you can't get ahead with your finances, get a second job, invest in passive income or live well below your means.

Receive sense Nigerians.

Wrong. Firstly money given in church is not pastors money . People give to God as an act of worship

Secondly the OP was not talking about giving in church or giving to MOG . But the pracrise of giving generally as a universal law. I guess your hatred for ministers of God covered your reading

bigiyaro:
no be when you get you go give? how can you give what you don't have?

God has given everyone something to give. He gives seed to sow

2 Corinthians 9:10
Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

Luke 6:31
And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.

Maximus69:
Just get yourself infected first, then walk right straight to any isolation center, once you're in you can perform the miracles just as Jesus cleansed the leapers of his time! Mark 1:40-45

I'm certain that Donald Trump will invite you immediately to the Whitehouse!

Meaning you dont believe in the name of Jesus

BonPatrick:
someone please clear my doubt, why is it that everyone turns "SEX" as the greatest sin and always emphasize on it. when u have sex they look at you as if u have committed the greatest sin. what of murder, false witness, stealing, backbiting, and other sin. are they lesser sin. this happens mostly in Africa. if someone come to preach to you. they term based all the topic on sex and neglect other sin....

Theres a peculiarity about fornication . Even though it's not " greatest sin" but theres a peculiarly about it that makes it different .


1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

That's true word of God.

Luke 10:19
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Saying I'm born again is only affirming what God has done. It's not boastful

That's true christianity. The proof of maturity is the lovewalk

Image123:
We both know that the disciples didn't go about literally treading on serpent and scorpions. If anyone breaks an hedge, the serpent will bite him.

When a serpent bit paul he only shook it into the fire. Jesus said greater works shall we do. I'm not aware jesus will say a disease is contagious he wont pray. WhT have we turned christianity to

MasterRahl:

LEAD BY EXAMPLE!!!

Chris Oyakhilome should drive to the nearest COVID-19 quarantine facility. He should lay hands on at least two patients. Cameras should beam it live for all good Nigerians to watch.

After two weeks, he should be tested and if the results shows negative, then we will compel all pastors to follow suit.

Nonsense and Oshiomole's failed political career.

We have tried they did not allow access .

The gift of faith is one of the gifts of the Spirit. Just like Rhema, it does not work every time or for every person. It is specific and time bound.
You don't go and walk on the river claiming Jesus told Peter to, you will drown and cause scoffers to make a mockery of the faith.

I agree with you

While it is possible for God to use someone to demonstrate His glory by touching and healing the sick. It is not a calling of every Christian every time. There is time for everything including this.

Jesus gave a mandate .

Luke 10:19
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Stephenmoka4:
It's not about quoting verse, understanding the meaning and the context of the content too it's quite helpful

I do , do you ?

Some hear but, do not have faith. Some have faith only after seeing proof.
Bless you.

Yes but at least they should Be given opportunity to hear.

Romans 10:14
. . and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Romans 10:17
. . .faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. . .

Blackmoran:
Hi, I have always have this view about the old testament, how the teachings and stories are extreme, brutal, selfish and violent, and a lot of injustice. Examples of this was the story of job who was righteous with God but was made to suffer for doing nothing but rather to just test is faith, stories of wars Israelite taking over cities in the name of God. You know what am saying when you read the old testament its kind of barbaric a lot of sacrifice and killings for the most stupid things there is no different between the old testament and what most extreme terrorist are doing now.. In my opinion i Really think the old testament should be separated from Christian teaching. The only time we need the old testament is for the purpose of chronology and ancestry trace...

The Kindom of God runs on revealed principles . The principles of God are consistent . Some principles are revealed before the law . From the call of Abraham . Some principles are revealed in the law . And some after the law .

So you can’t entirely throw away The entirety of the content of the law Because some principles are revealed in the law which are still valid today

I overcame by :

1. Discovering the things that were making me depressed,
2. not caring about those things anymore and
3. expecting nothing from life or anyone not even payment or commendations for my good deeds, acts of kindness or any work at all basically always expect the worse

it sounds sad but it's not it's very freeing then I started doing things that made me happy instead of things that gave me anxiety and worry e.g during my last year's in uni I didn't care about my CGPA I would read about the stars and random things that were technically useless but enjoyable to me even when I had an exam or test the next morning, I would sleep and wake up when I liked before I would wake up at night study for school but I'd have anxiety that I wouldn't even understand what I was reading, I'd be quizzing myself and when I missed/forgot a couple things I'd be sad it felt like others were using cheat codes and short cuts which was true for some people but it had nothing to do with me, basically I removed myself from situations, let situations and events just be that situations and events
I turned things around by thinking to myself what's the worst that can happen? If I failed so what? And I became more relaxed than before no longer scared of failure nor anxious about getting a B or an A or whatever result from not just exams but life in general.

The way you feel or how deeply you care really doesn't matter most times it only just weighs you down while the situation remains

I didn't just wake up depressed one day it took years of many different things happening in my life and being bottled up until the bottle was so full it over flowed and almost drowned me

You have just blessed me too. i realised I'm more relaxed when i take my mind off certain things of pressure by doing things i enjoy . Im not talking about praying in tongues and bible reading o. sometimes it can even be as carnal as playing video game. The issue is taking ones mind away from the pressure . The problem is not the situation but our response And attitude brings frustration . When we relax then we can pray and experience God.

But I feel your experience has become a ministry . you will be in a better position now to counsel others who are on the verge of giving up on life. as long as there is life ,there is hope. God cold have allowed you to pass through this to make you an instrument of comfort. it reminds me of couple of scriptures

2 Corinthians 1:3-4
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

DuBLINGreenb:
I will but it's long do I don't know how to arrange my thoughts it's all over the place, I have a lot to type but I want it to be brief and to the point

What ever the challenge was I am very glad you overcame it. It's a lesson to everyone to know that as long as there is life there is hope. We may look at a situation and see no way out . But take a day at a time , there is hope

Same should have been said to worshipers in churches in lagos

I want to commit suicide for no reason does any one have a system that is painless? I used Google and found nothing
Is there a punishment for suicide in the bible?
The world is already over populated don't tell me bu,llsh,it if you don't have a method fu,ck off and don't post a stup,id advice

I just saw you reading the thread below . I could see you’re still alive 5 years later . Tell us how did you Overcome the suicide thought ?

hoopernikao:
Salvation Sir. That is what is referred to in Acts 19. Receiving the holyghost is salvation.

They weren't saved.

I agree. But let's forget that for now . Remember Paul thought they were born again initially. So he's presumed talking to chtidtisn believers. That means if they were born again he would still have asked them " HAVE YE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT "

hoopernikao:
Ability and endowment comes the very day you receive the holyghost and that is at salvation. You can't separate the spirit from the spirit ability. You can't have the spirit and lack it's ability. Most of the time what is lacking is knowledge. The day you come to know you have it doesn't have to be the day you received it. It is there all along.

Endowment is what you are born with not what you acquire. At new birth you received the spirit and then endowment of the spirit. Functioning in it will be a knowledge fact.

Also "be filled" with the spirit is not refering to receievinh something but being control by what you have received. It means to be controlled with.
In Ephes 5 Paul use a contrast. Drunk with wine, filled with the spirit.

18 And do not ye be drunk of wine, in which is lechery [in which is luxury], but be ye filled with the Holy Ghost;

Drunk and filled are contrast saying the same thing. Do no be taken over or control with wine but will the spirit.

Being filled with the spirit will mean activities of the spirit, it's operations among us.

Hence Vs 19 shows you how to be filled.

19 and speaking ye to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your hearts to the Lord; [speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your heart to the Lord;]


Verse 19 listed out how. These are activities of the spirit. You must read 17-19 together to understand this .

18 And do not ye be drunk of wine, in which is lechery [in which is luxury], but be ye filled with the Holy Ghost;

19 BY speaking ye to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your hearts to the Lord; [speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and saying psalm in your heart to the Lord;]

the word AND will mean BY pointing to how to be filled. Always read the letters in context.

Same thing you will read in Acts 4. They were filled and then spoke with boldness. That is to function in ability you already have.

I get your point . Maybe I used wrong term . I should have probably said . “To receive infilling “

Acts 19:1-2
1 And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, 2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.

Dtruthspeaker:
Is it not written- 4 "There is One body, and One Spirit, even as ye are called in One hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, One faith, One baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Everything is One, even the experiences you claim, are all One.

But I'll drop it!

I thought we are saying same thing

Na wa for you and your posts oh.

lightfak007:
A man named John Nasa has taken to Opera News

Anybody who wants to go to heaven should stop reading OPERA NEWS. They are full of lies and fake news

Dtruthspeaker:
it could be very Misleading to say Holy Spirit Baptism and Infilling, for there is Only One Holy Spirit,

Maybe I didn’t express it well.

We Saved by the Holy Spirit. But it’s possible to be saved and not be filled with power and gifts . When a man received the in filling of the same Holy Spirit that when ability and enduement comes . As you said there is only one Holy Spirit but two exoeriences
