So you mean that all Christians who have been successfully robbed did not have a close relationship with God?

TimiRume:
[url][/url] I will answer this if you will answer this truthfully. Are you a Christian?

DeepSight:
Armed robbers fear Christians? You must be high.

Keegan:
He might be right. Members of the Christian wing of Nigeria Armed Robbery Association have conscience.

Michael547:
Yes I am. Answer my question now please.

TimiRume:
Thanks. You have answered your question.

On one occasion, we were six christians in a room. 4 of us choir members had just returned from a powerful church service at night (10 pm), when armed robbers entered into the room with torches, guns and machetes and switched off the lights.

But by the time they left they had robbed everyone in the room of cash and some valuables except me.
Why them no go fear there leader......dey whine urself

Not that they had missed me though because the same guy that went and flashed torch on the face of each one of the others also came to me and flashed torch in my face, but the only difference is that intead of standing me up to take him to my things as he did to all the others, he immediately walked back (as if he had seen a ghost) to where the other two stood to my astonishment.

He was even asked, by one of them (I suppose their leader) "what about that guy?" after he went back just incase he made a mistake. I sincerely wished I heard what he said though because it would have significantly helped resolve some yet unanswered questions, but sadly I didn't because his voice was too low.

However what the guy said seemed to suffice for them, as immediately afterwards they started hitting the middle of our butts, I suppose, with the back of their machete (because it barely hurt us even though most of us wore jeans) before they left.

They didn't leave me out of that one though as I had a little sore on my butt as a result, I think it was the same for the others.

Thank God though no life was lost in the process because it could have been much worse.

God bless.

Jesus Christ has the power to protect anyone.

I am not denying the fact that miraculous protection or defence happens. But let us stop living in denial.

Go to Boko-Haram-ravaged areas or become a soldier and be posted to fight Boko Haram, let us see how Boko Haram fears you because you are serving Jesus Christ.

Any armed robber that fears you will equally fear a Muslim or another person. Any armed robber that doesn't fear Muslim or any other person will not come to you and change except that moment is the armed robber's appointed time for repentance.

TimiRume:
Stop this unbelief that most of you carry on your backs. What the Op said is true. When you live a life that is dedicated to God, God puts the dread of you in men. It's replete in scriptures.

Are you wiser than the men that followed God wholly? Do you think God will joke with a man that has surrendered his life to him? How many of such men are around.

Noah, Enoch, Abraham, Joseph,Moses, Joshua, David, Elijah, Gideon, etc.

There is no other God beside our God. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Who was with us and now in us by Christ Jesus.

He appeared to Abraham and revealed himself as our shield and exceeding great reward.

Shallom

He said the robbers stole everything he had, including the bag containing his own clothes, but left every single item they saw that was addressed to Benson Idahosa.

He was shocked that the armed robbers were not afraid to rob him of everything he had, except anything that belong to Benson Idahosa.

Why Do Armed Robbers, Cultists, Witches, Demons, Fear Some Christians But Not All?

I remember when a church leader narrated his ordeal with armed robbers, after he traveled from Port-harcourt all the way to Benin city to attend a church program at the headquarters of Church of God Mission, and was also sent in the process to deliver some gifts to Benson Idahosa (late church founder when he was still alive) by members of the church in Rivers state.

He said the robbers stole everything he had, including the bag containing his own clothes, but left every single item they saw that was addressed to Benson Idahosa.

He was shocked that the armed robbers were not afraid to rob him of everything he had, except anything that belong to Benson Idahosa.

Just the name of Benson Idahosa inscribed on the gifts alone seemed to strike fear into the hearts of the armed robbers that they dare not tamper with them, even though they were merely gift items sent by his church members (of another state) which he may never have heard of or even had any idea of their gifts by then.

Although the poor man himself may have heard several mind-blowing stories about Benson Idahosa prior to that, however this particular one was now drawn from his own bitter experience, as he didn't have any other clothes to wear for the program he traveled all the way for except that on his body, but for Benson Idahosa who helped him with some, after he had delivered the said gifts and also narrated his ordeal to him.

While with Benson Idahosa, and yet recovering from the shock of his ordeal, he must have wondered what it was about the man before him, that distinguished him before armed robbers, to the extent they were so afraid of touching the man's things but not his, despite also being a Christian himself.

God bless.

Look at how you contradict yourself..... You join the army with intention to kill.... You heart is already made up and you want God to protect you Don't let anyone deceive you that God follows you to battle unless he wants to use you to show that he's God....

NOETHNICITY:
But didn’t Jesus explicitly say in John 5:30 that of my own self I can do ‘nothing’?
Why do you then ascribe the power of protection to the creation rather than the creator?

BarrElChapo:
Benson Idahosa that’s rotting in hell or another one 😂😂😂

Benson Idahosa reigned in Edo state yet, one of the state where traditional practices is most prevalent is the same Edo state. Smh

AustineE1:
waooh...i didnt know you are 'God',you even know that Idahosa is rotting in hell！some of you should be careful how you talk,you may place curses on yourself.

Michael547:
So you mean that your sermon is telling us that Christians who have been robbed successfully did not have a close relationship with God like you and some popular pastors?

immortalcrown:
You and the booster should join the military and get posted to the North to fight Boko Haram so that your point will be proven.

firearcher:
That's being presumptuous. Go where you are not meant to be or do what you are not supposed to do, and you are likely on your own.

God's divine protection and in fact all of God's promises are conditional - something sadly not properly taught or obscured by many men of God.
