Joagbaje:Is this what you teach your congregation? This is damn serious Let me educate you a little. Jesus said "no man which shall do miracle in my name" now what do you take "in my name" to be? Some one saying the name Jesus while he/she performs his/her tricks A wore shouting Oh my Gad while on action, a man about to dupe another first introducing himself as a Pastor and calling the name of Jesus several times, or another sweet talking robber saying God bless you, bless you sister, bless you brother to his victim. A Pastor/ Prophet with all occultic symbols in his altar ranging from red, black, purple candles, a signet, 8 crested cross, a bowl of water fetched from a lake at midnight, incense, assorted occult perfumes, branded Bibles and books of Psalms, different colour of gowns for specific ministration, ranging from Black gown, red gown, purple gown, Navy blue gown and more important to them, white gown. He summarizes his activities and powerful ministration with the name of Jesus. Are we also talking about inspirational talkers, kingdom economists they call themselves and all those who teach as commandments the doctrine of men which they cap with the name of Jesus. And also obtaining huge sums of money from their followers by false pretence- New world order Can I also tell you that the Freemasons call the name of Jesus, do you at any point consider that there could be other Jesus out there and that an unrepentant trick star could perform his tricks with or without mentioning any name and still have results? Jesus is addressing segregation/copyright/authority/approval in those verses especially within the confines of godliness and holiness "We introduce a way of doing things, we claim copyright to it another somewhere who we did not mentor directly is doing the things the same way as we, with similar result. We become angry and begin to question the authenticity of their claims since they have not learnt directly from us" That is simply what Jesus is addressing there. It was never about a lawless man, unrepentant in his deeds with no fruits worthy of emulation but yet captivates his audience with staged works and devil inspired tricks, of course, capping it with the name Jesus. Even Satan acknowledges Jesus as King but does that stop him from telling people bad things about Jesus giving reasons why the ways of Jesus should not be followed? To your second quotation "Jesus is Lord" it is never to be taken literally. If you tell your sheep to follow any man that comes their way shouting Jesus is Lord today, be rest assured very many of them will be led straight to Devil's slaughter house Gifts does not approve any man as God's. Some people were born with mind blowing gifts, abilities and talents which none the less are blessings from God just like His "rain and sun" comes to both the wicked and the righteous To be Continued... |

^^^ I don't think you took your time to read his post, you guys are basically saying the same thing. |
| Re: Prophets That Call Phone Number by Topgainer: 12:42pm On Jun 01, 2016 |
paulGrundy:It is not exactly the same, somebody said as long as we adjudged a performer of miracles to be less concerned of repentance and the lifestyle of the receiver of the miracles. Of what use, is the wonders being performed, the person went ahead to form an opinion that those are not the ingredients of the doctrines of Christ and serves no purpose other than to entertain. In response to this, our dear Pastor Agbaje threw up a defence which was more like as much as the Person, says Jesus is Lord and calls the name Jesus it must have God's approval. He went further to state that "the fact that someone doesn't do the way we do shouldn't make them false." That I disagree with, pointing out that an occultic man with all his working tools calling the name of Jesus has not practiced his performance of the miracles the way we know. And therefore must be disregarded. It is not the same with the men the disciples of Jesus accosted, which was simply copyright infringement. Then again, somebody can be churning out questionable doctrines that may logically make sense to the hearers but does not fall in line with the rigid stand of the Bible in regards to holiness/godliness and still say Jesus is Lord. Does that mean the Holy Ghost is in action for both? This I said no to, because God does not contradict himself we were asked to disregard any other message even if it comes apparently from Angels or Heavens but does not conform to the Apostolic standards handed down to us. For that I am among those who contended some teachings of Oyakhilome on subjects of Mastur.ba.tion, Tattoo, smoking, dressings( cream, palming, bumpshorts,etc), and lately divorce. But Pastor J.O. Agbaje will have me believe that the confessions of the name Jesus and the call of Jesus is Lord suffices. You don't pamper such subjects except there is a camp of loyal partners involved that you are trying to protect. What is ungodly is ungodly? It is the World and science that will look at it and say it will only affect your physical and mental wellbeing you are adviced to Stop. |

| Re: Prophets That Call Phone Number by Image123(m): 1:18pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
Joagbaje:Like you just said, critics hardly read. You didn't read me say they are wrong for "not telling you of your dire need of the Saviour Jesus Christ?, not talking of the need for you to repent and come out of your sins, into full salvation and dedication to your Creator. " What doctrine and statement of faith are you looking for again when these basic essential is missing? |

Here's a twist . The OP certainly knows that people would be interested in knowing the prophet after his really compelling/convincing story . It may be a scam and of course very credulous people would fall prey .May God save us The OP may be the fake prophet cc : Muafrika2 |

Joagbaje:Actually that is the common case, display of power and signs to entice and ensnare. People keep going for months and years without tangible spiritual progress or transformation in their lives. |

One thing about God is that He is ALWAYS PURPOSEFUL. His word will always have meaning, and most importantly, direction. I fail to see any of that in that experience narrated by fubbyy. ....he started by callin my name and sure name and proceeded in calling my phone number,he told me when i was born(includin date) he told me everything about my past so accuratly,he told me what am planning to do...The only thing that "prophecy" managed to was present the prophet as a "powerful person" in the eyes of fubbyy. And I believe that was the only purpose. |

Joagbaje:Do you think you know much aside the grammer and the bible passages you force to fit into your world of fantasy? Do you know any other thing aside the repetitive contents of ROR written by your anointed Pastor Chris and formerly Pastor Anita(now a she -devil as most of your people named her)? Few questions I asked Love world fanatics about your predilection for worldliness, and its relationship to the gospel of Christ were never answered. Instead, your thugs keep posting pictures of the man they worship all over the place. Asking you questions will expose you the more and you cannot defend most of the things you do at Christ Embassy from the Scripture. Confuse your sheeple with grammer, entice them with promise of becoming rich, coerce them to give all they have for the spread of the 'gospel'. They are the people who need to ask you questions The only reason I engage you sometimes is that I presume you love God but are a victim of circumstance by your upbringing in the largely perverted new order religious organizations |

Topgainer:Kindly exercise the fruit of the spirit dear. i will still say to you If you want to ask me a question ,simply ask nicely and I will answer you from scriptures . But if its all these agbero abuses and insult you want to do with me, pls count me out . i won't bring myself down to that level. you may try someone else. 2Tim 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; |

Joagbaje:Do you live in this world at all? Or all you see and know is about your church and its parishes? i'm talking about the majority. Most of the places and peoples running up and down for miracles and signs, and most of the places where these so called signs are done like calling numbers and amount of money in your pocket. they do not tell them anything significant about Jesus. |

May God save us.. That was how I was invited to a church last Friday for vigil. ..someone invited my aunty and I decided to go with her. During the service, the prophet said who is destiny, God is about to deliver you. I went out and he mentioned my house address, the route I followed to his church, what has been bothering my mind. He said some people don't want me to succeed and started praying. He asked me to see him the next day after service. My mum followed me the next day and a visitor prophet was there. The visitor prophet said my mum has been suffering of diabetes for so many years and it was caused by somebody. My said said yes she has diabetes.. The man said he saw me enter keke and the guys in the keke drove somewhere and raped me and he really wants to help us. I know I enter keke to work. He said I should get him 30,000 naira that he wants to use it for something to help us right away.. Later he asked me how much I have in my account, I lied that I have 50,000 he said I should bring 40,000 not 30,000 again and if I can't bring it he won't help my mum and I.. The next thing, the other prophet who is the owner of the church just knelt down and said oh God pls convert these pple to my church.. .i over heard him although he prayer it silently.. I just smiled and told them I don't have that kind of money to give, the prophet said I should go and use my atm or go home and bring it bcus they want to help me.. I said nobody is at home and I don't have.. That was how I left with my mum.. What got me disturbed is all Wat they said about the prophecy is true but why the money? Bcus I didnt give them money they couldn't give us prayer points or at least tell us to fast....i don't know if there is any prayer that is done with money |

Tilda143:They use the spirit of divination, it is an evil spirit. It never brings one to God or brings glory to God. It can make money for its masters as seen in Acts 16. Stay with the Word of God, not with signs and wonders. Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. |
| Re: Prophets That Call Phone Number by Joagbaje(m): 8:20am On Jun 06, 2017 |
Image123:The prophetic is both gift and office . Very important in the body of christ . There have been several attacks on that precious gift . Many doubts claiming that the prophecy is a guess work . But when it's proven beyond doubt that it's supernatural. Then comes in the next attack " FALSE PROPHET" Now I don't subscribe to those who ask for money . Because Jesus was clear Matthew 10:8 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. If there's no tendency to demand for money Jesus wouldn't have mentioned it. But that doesn't deny it's Gods gift . A man who commercializes it will fade away. He looses his reward . Because he has paid himself . Many die untimely . God has his way of judgment. But the gift is of God . We should not condemn a holy office because of mans failing . That's what Satan want to achieve Is there no prophetic ministry in the body or in the earth anymore ? If there is why do we despise the real Office 1 Thessalonians 5:20 20 Despise not prophesyings. |

That is not even a miracle. But, some people mumu o. |

Topgainer:i have never fallen prey to any of them. I grew up in the word, only the word. You don't have the word, you don't have me. These charlatans are waxing stronger by the day. I hear they have their own brand of illuminatti sect in disguise as pastors now. They are called "Marine Pastors". |
| Re: Prophets That Call Phone Number by Image123(m): 12:11pm On Jun 06, 2017 |
Joagbaje:If anything, you are actually despising prophesy by ridiculing it to the level of calling numbers and addresses. There's nothing holy or prophetic about that. It's called gimmickry and entertainment. Prophecy edifies and glorifies God. Prophecy brings people closer to God, His worship, and to holy living, readiness for heaven and reverence for God. Stop equating showmen and conmen to prophets. It's a disgrace. |

Image123:What do you mean by gimmickry and how can you know a strangers phone number and house address by it. Prophecy edifies and glorifies God. Prophecy brings people closer to God, His worship, and to holy living, readiness for heaven and reverence for God. Stop equating showmen and conmen to prophets. It's a disgrace.What's your understanding of words of knowledge |
| Re: Prophets That Call Phone Number by Joagbaje(m): 9:00pm On Jun 07, 2017 |
analice107:It is not about phone numbers . You need to understand prophetic ministry . The idea is telling the individual about the secret of their heart through word of knowledge . 1 Corinthians 14:25 25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. Anyone who can tell you something about your life is not doing a guess work. Such is first to clear the doubts then he tells you of your present situation and give a futuristic solution . Jesus told Nathaniel to his amazement about his godly Heart John 1:47-48 47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! 48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. It's by the same principle Jesus told the woman of the well about her many Husbands (her past. ). He told her of the present man in her life ( present ) that is word of knowledge . She could as well have said "I DIDNT COME TO CHURCH FOR SOMEONE TO TELL ME MY PAST." John 4:18-19 18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.m She believed in him by the word of knowledge. Before we criticize we need to understand the principle by which . A man of God does his ministration. Many people who criticize prophecy have problems in their lives that it's a prophetic gift that can diagnose their case and tell them the solution. But the enemy make them condemn their solution The prophetic ministry is only for those who need it . The healing ministry is only for those who need it . Salvation is for those who need it . |

Joagbaje:Sir, i don't have any problem with the Prophetic ministry, i have a problem with prophets who do not edify me. Prophesy the word/mind of God to me, not quote my phone number, i know it already. |
| Re: Prophets That Call Phone Number by petra1(m): 4:48am On Jun 08, 2017 |
analice107:The woman at the well already knew she was cohabiting with a man .Why did jesus need to tell her what she already knew. Question: Have you watched a prophet quoting phone numbers before or you're cocluding from hearsay? secondly, do they stop only at phone numbers or do they give further message? lasty the idea is not about phone numbers. the idea is revealing secrets so that the person will believe its not a guess work. it could have been telling you about your past , childhood, something that only you know about. for example if a prophet had said to a woman . 'God says apologise to your husband. " she might have assumed its a guess work . but when he talks her about her life . she open to believe. if you don't believe in a prophet his grace or message can not profit you. its not about phone numbers. if you study st my previous .it explains it all. the gift is called word of knowledge . the ability to know and see supernaturally. its left for the prophet how he use the gift. either he tells phone number ,account number ,passport number ,driver lincsense number or he mentions a childhood experience , something that only you know about its to open the person to believe in the message that he has to give . and the message is not phone numbers. jesus spoke to nathaniel and reveal to him his thoughts. he believed . the prophet can reveal past ,present and future. he can as well abuse the gift . |
| Re: Prophets That Call Phone Number by petra1(m): 5:05am On Jun 08, 2017 |
Image123:its to open the faith of the individual or get their attention to the main message . Does the prophet stop at phone numbers? why do we emphasise only on the phone numbers ? what about the main message the prophet gives. And not telling you of your dire need of the Saviour Jesus Christ?" Why would show men not talk of the need for you to repent and come out of your sins, into full salvation and dedication to your Creator.They do if need be and why do you think they don't? when a prophet tells a woman you need to forgive your husband . is that not edification, and repentance. when a prophet tells a man " you're suffering from so and so because you abandoned your family " and he gives further instruction. is that not repentance ? why do we swell on the minor part of the prophecy and criticise and forget the main message of the prophecy. No prophet stops at phone numbers they always give a message thereafter. but here we leave the major message and focus the minor. |

Joagbaje:Gimmickry is the use of gimmicks, tricks to attract attention. Magicians do that all the time. Those are not prophets. The Word of Knowledge is a gift of the Holy Spirit involving information previously unknown to the person being used by the Holy Spirit. It is a power gift used for the glory of God and the evangelisation of the people. Usually, God would reveal some information either in that person's language or about that person. USEFUL information, like a coming danger, or deceit or an action by the person, or a sickness and dire situation. It is usually followed by solution and often leads to salvation and holy living. And glory to God, i have seen and witnessed it before, not dem say. There is also the Gift of Discernment which is one of the gifts of the Spirit, i wish you had it. It is very important because you would see these rubbish/scam with ease, almost unexplainable. |
