Christians And The Use Of Goya Olive Oil by Nobody: 11:33am On Dec 13, 2015 |
I visited my parents recently and went to kitchen to make myself some indomie and fried egg only to discover that the cooking oil was finished after already breaking my eggs, so I went to their room and grabbed one out of the almost 20 bottles of 'anointing oil' to use only for them to object, even after I pointed out that the bottle actually says 'cooking oil'. Nigerians seem to have fallen into the scam of believing that olive oil contains some heavenly ingredient that makes it blessed. I find that funny because the stuff that gets imported into the country is not even olive oil . Today in church, the pastor asked us to raise our bottles of oil and when i looked at the sheer crowd of lifted bottles, all I could think of was 'Damn! the importers of Goya oil are making a killing'. So here is my advice; Stop wasting your money buying that tiny bottle of oil at #200 when 1 liter of groundnut oil sells for the same in the market (or even coconut oil, soya oil, turkey oil etc. ). simply pour a little of your regular cooking oil into a portable bottle and go ahead with your anointing Better still, why not use some of your baby oil or body oils so that you can be both anointed and sweet-smelling Happy Sunday People CC Lalasticlala 4 Likes 1 Share |

bestestgirl: There is one woman of God and evangelist I have known for over 2 decades. God led her to use oil. She'd pray for the sick and for those representing the sick she'd give them oil to go and anoint the sick and they would get healed. One lady who had nightmares used to sleep with the oil under her pillow. She confessed this to the evangelist and ever since that time she stopped using it. It is very easy to idolize what we can see hence the warning against graven images. I'd say from your description that your parents are doing this. Let's stop making idols out of hydrocarbons |
Re: Christians And The Use Of Goya Olive Oil by omakay(m): 6:37pm On Dec 13, 2015 |
vooks: The problem is not even with the oil and the hankeys. The problem is with the Christians who are idolizing these items. Its quite funny but most of them do carry this scary belief that once a Man of God does not above items as part of his ministrations, he is not a true M.O.G. |

The people of God, sons and daughters of Jesus, the righteous ones, those who adhere strictly to the teachings of Jesus christ. Why hast thou lack in some crucial facets of life excluding the spiritual facet? It is the believe of many Christians that the process of attaining success in marriage, career, academic and social life is by sticking to God. The human part in the role of success has been neglected by many Christians. In the career world, many Christians don't seek to acquire more knowledge and skills in order to be promoted , the church has been viewed as a centre where all protocols and processes are ruled out and miraculous promotions are procured. The house of God have been portrayed as a mechanism of heuristics towards the attainment of success in any facet of life. However, some sect of believers affirm that "Heaven help those who help themselves" they believe God and man have a role to play in the success story of mankind; it is their believe that the right things needs to be done and the required process and protocols needs to be followed. To the critics of the believe that "heaven help those who help themselves" the Christians who tries to follow the lay down processes and principles of attaining success are often regarded to as Christians who believe in their own strength and wisdom. To vindicate their criticism they often cite the saying that "our God breaks all protocols"...without mincing, what's your take on this issue? .......comment and throw more light to the issue on Ground....http://oluwaseyikelvin.mywapblog.com/moment-of-expression-with-oluwaseyi-kelv.xhtml |

omakay:What the Apostles subscribed was to call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over whom concerned, anointing whom concerned with oil in the name of the Lord But obviously, ekklesia as become the ''church'' elders have transformed into head honcho and the sheeple are preyed upon, skinned and gutted with total disregard of this morally wrong method of lining one's purse |

vooks:You can call it whatever you like, mind games or whatnot. At least they didnt make merchandise of the oil Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: - James 5:14 And they cast out many demons and healed many sick people, anointing them with olive oil. - Mark 6:13 3 Likes 1 Share |

MuttleyLaff: Am calling it what you did, placebo which means the healing had nothing to do with Jesus Christ and His name, just belief in whatever was thrown at the sick. You still stand by this? |
Re: Christians And The Use Of Goya Olive Oil by MuttleyLaff: 8:58pm On Dec 13, 2015 |
vooks:Of course you're calling it what I did vooks:Placebo effect or placebo response means the healing had nothing to do with the substance taken (i.e. in this case the oil) but it however will sometimes help in recovery or obtaining healing because the person has the expectation of healing when/after using the substance vooks:Without fidgeting, stand by it 110% You read - James 5:14 saying: ...anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord God is Jehovah Rapha. God that heals It is God that heals. Not the tablet, not the medication, not the doctor, not the oil, not etcetera It's like saying: I am arresting you in the name of the law. Just as the law is the authority allowing the rest, so is God the authority under which healing is given/obtained The underlying healing power is off and from God, and not off or from the substance 4 Likes 2 Shares |

MuttleyLaff:Understood you loud and clear sir. The skeptics would have you believe that your faith or prayer or even the name Jesus Christ are placebo and I felt you were coming from this angle. I hold a different opinion on oil;I think it did more than placebo. Oil had a long history in Judaism going back to Moses and from the YHWH Himself. I think after prayers it is potent in and of itself |
Re: Christians And The Use Of Goya Olive Oil by MuttleyLaff: 9:17pm On Dec 13, 2015 |
vooks:Oh no. Shudders. Far from that. Quite the opposite vooks:We are talking different dispensations here, and different uses On one hand, oil used for consecrating individuals with power for service and on the other hand, oil used for anointing individuals for healing vooks:Oil was symbol for empowerment, a symbol used as/for initation for service, for God's work etcetera Saying it differently, oil was used for anointing in Biblical times, (e.g. Aaron, Saul, David etcetera) It predated the flames or tongues of fire that symbolised the holy spirit Remember Jesus told the disciples to wait to be endued with power from on high "And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven." - Luke 24:49 vooks:Some of us need a helping hand with faith and that's where the oil as a placebo effect or placebo response comes in |

bestestgirl: In a French country i went into a marquee to have a lunch, from my sit i was watching as the lady preparing my food lifted a bottle of what i know to be anointing oil and was about to pour some of the oil in my food from my table i stood up rushed to where she was and shouted at her in French not to put that in my food as it can only be used in my church as anointing oil she was looking at me in amazement till i left the place On the same platform i attended Shiloh and bought a bottle of oil which Papa Oyedepo blessed without touching it, i sent the oil to my mum in Nigeria without knowing she was booked for an operation for cancer of the breast. It was when i traveled to Nigeria that she was telling me that her operation was due in 4 days time before she received the anointing oil amongst other things i sent to her, according to her she just rubbed the oil on her left breast before going to bed one night only to wake up in the morning and found out that the lump on her left breast has dried out and withing that 4 days she used the oil, by the time she went to Hospital the doctor told her there is nothing to operate that the cancer is gone. SO I STILL BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF ANOINTING OIL IF IT COMES FROM THE RIGHT SOURCE !!! |

Chicagoesontop:I can imagine the chef looking at you and thinking that you must be crazy As for the power of the anointing, I totally agree that there is power in it. my issue is just with the overpriced tiny quantity of 'olive' oil which we happily buy just because we are used to using olive oils for anointing services. I am advocating the use of any oil at all for anointing oil. personally, my tiny bottle of oil contains cussons baby oil 2 Likes |

vooks: It's so easy the mock the silly things that people do when they have silly beliefs. Isn't it, Vooks? The question, Mr Vooks, is ; what exactly is it about religion and faith that renders people stuuuuupid? Where lies the problem, .the believers of faith-fraud, or that the faith itself is inherently, foundationally, genetically fraudulent ? 3 Likes |

vooks: It's not yet time to reminisce your ignorance, comrade. That time has yet to come. Now, back to the topic. Is it enough to say just that people, Christians are silly for thinking that an industrially manufactured oil has supernatural properties ? What can't you also go further to question and mock the entire edifice of beliefs that underpin such silly behaviours ? If you believe that snakes talked, donkeys talked and a Virgin gave birth after being ra.ped by an invisible spirit, then it shouldn't be strange to believe in magic Goya or magic handkerchief. So, your criticism of Christian religious fraud, though encouraging, still reeks of cognitive dissonance. 2 Likes |

Can you prove olive oil doesn't heal people? Those who tap into the business of heaven would reap huge rewards. These are kingdom principles. The Bible says that The Lord hall bless us abundantly. Those people profiting from olive oil, are people not buying it? Did anyone ask you to buy for them? Please, do not try to reason spiritual matters, else you will be confused. God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. My cousin's brother had cancer of the tongue. Two drops of olive oil and the cancer turned to Can-celled. A woman I know who had fibroid. She sipped just a little of the annointing oil, and her fibroid turned to Fine Boy. Pls, don't underestimate the power of the Holy Ghost. Jesus said 'if only, you have faith'.. Some people just need ' faith-enablers'. 5 Likes 1 Share |
