That is why I said we are here to help you.

Christianity is a call to be in the kingdom of God.
The kingdom operate with laws or rules or call it keys.
The holy ghost is the governor of that kingdom.
If you are a Christian and you are not using those keys.
You are simply operating in ignorance.
Satan will finish you.
You much use the keys of the kingdom to succeed on earth.

If you need materials to understand the kingdom of God more. I can give you.

So many Christian are operating in ignorance. The devil strives on men's ignorance.

LOL invalid.

Do whatever you want. Bye.

A Christian is a SAVED being who has the Spirit of God. How to know you have God's Spirit? Romans 8: 15 - 16:

For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Accept Jesus today. God bless.

your username says it all, Demigods666... even for you to be able to coin that name shows how thing are with you... Can the Devil actually preserve life and stop people from dying young and eradicate poverty and do all those so called good things you're dreaming of?

God is a God of freewill... he gives us the power to choose weather we want to follow him or not, the days are evil and yet he will not interfere with human activities except those that call upon him, even at that, he can still choose not to intervene cos there are one or two lessons he wants you to learn, so you can be a better you, go visit a goldsmith and see what happens to gold before it becomes a pure gold, desirable... you can even watch videos on youtube how gold is being purified, God takes his children through such rigorous situation, to make you a better you... heaven is not a place for weak and feeble minds, it's not a place for people who give up easily and allow situations they face on earth ruin their relationship with God... even in marriages go and ask people that have stayed married for so long, they will tell you its not an easy Road, the road to heaven is not an easy Road and if you want to get there and be with God, he will take you through thick and thin to purify you, create a heart as gentle as a dove yet as fierce and bold as a lion, a determined strong heart that can face any obstacle or challenges, God is in the business of creating gods from mere men, join the train, the devil is immature, licentious, weak in good things but strong in foolish things, he's an opposer, a deceiver ( can make you rich overnight but will take one very important thing... your soul) and the father of lies, he came to steal you from God, kill all forms of happiness and good things in you and finally drag you to hell with him for your final destruction, change that your username identify with God now and chart a new course of greatness... it's all in you hands to decide, when you do, God will stand by your side...

Good day peeps.
Who is a CHRISTIAN?
A Christian is simply a follower of CHRIST & not merely in words bt in deeds. Dis is confirmed in d Holy Bible in Acts 11:26 "...and the disciples were called CHRISTIANS first in Antioch". Dis is because d pple of antioch observed d behavior or beta still DOCTRINES of d disciples & how it matched d TEACHINGS & PRACTISES OF CHRIST. These practises r still being upheld till date because HE commanded it mattew 28:20. At dis point let me ask, do u know that there is ONLY ONE CHURCH d Scripture recognises? It is d Church of Christ- Mattew 16:18 "And i say also unto you, that you are Peter and upon this rock I will build MY CHURCH". This ONE church that Christ eventually established & also called d Kingdom of God 1 colossians 1:13, 1 cor 15:24.

How do u knw u r saved?
Firstly, u must obey d gospel. Hw do u do dz?
Hear d gospel- Rom 10:17,14. matt 28:19,20
Believ d gospel acts 16:31, john 20:31
Repent Rom 3:23,acts 17:30
Confes dat Jesus is d son of God. acts 8:37
Baptize act 2:38

When "God" is inserted as the Protagonist,human responsibility is often thwarted.When the "Devil" is inserted as the Antagonist,human accountability is derailed. It isn't until humanity precisely Africans realizes that we are our own saviors that we will understand the long-term benefits of benevolence, empathy,compassion, and solidarity...

God is the all powerful and he does not allow people to die. Remember death is an enemy of God according to the bible so he couldn't be using the enemy to deal with his children. This tells us death, poverty... is from the enemy - Satan (the devil).
But God had already let us know Satan is not a factor, so when you come into Christ (being born again) you find out that everything in this world and about your life is under your control.
Know this, this world we are in was given to man by God so God does not control the system of this world. It's man's world and his responsibly to keep things in place. If I bought a car for you its your responsibility to maintain it, I can only come and help you if am invited because your now the owner of the car. That's how it works.
So through learning the scriptures in the bible and applying them you can put Satan where he belong - under your feet. When things go wrong you ought to say "No, no, no, Satan I would not let you ruin my world you back off in the Name of Jesus (that name is your weapon now)" and Satan understands that. But if you don't know the truth you will be seeing all these negatives happening to you and your love ones and it suppose not to be then you will be wondering is there really a God. So much to learn in God's word.
So God is not fake he is a very loving father and wants us well. Thank you.

If I know you are in a wrong path to destruction I do not need to worry myself, I know for sure at the end of the day no hope for you, you will still end with those that left early.
I say that for a reason, if you will turn around acknowledging your faults and wants a new hope and life you would not need to bother if you are of the devil (Satan) who will destroy you, no need again. There is already a translation for you. You see!

God does not exists, all the stories in the Bible were fabricated...


Ok


God created Adam and eve, they gave birth to Cain and Abel..

How did the world now get populated since, it was not recorded that there was another creation after Adam and eve.

Did Cain and abel f***ked their mum? Or if They gave birth to females, did they f***ked their sisters or Adam shined his daughter's Kongo.....

Oya, where are the gurus...

What about people who believed soooooo much in him and he let them die?

There was a strong Christian in my former compound this was before u became a Christian.

She was soo prayerful, she vowed never to be with any man but to worship God with no distraction, every morning she preaches the word of God, she does good, help people, pray for the sick. She was a genuine Christian.

She was my good friend angry

But where did it get her?

She died in a motor accident bro.

There is no time she doesn't pray.

So mehn.

Bleep it.

Even if I tell you any passage from the Bible because already Satan is ruling you.
Don't you know GOD at times do take the righteous out of this world to prevent them from seeing corruption?
All those who are killed for being a Christian, do you think they perish?
You should free yourself from the bondage you keep yourself or someday you will revoke all your words...but I pray it be not too late to get Salvation to your soul.

lightblazingnow:
When the lord God Almighty called his children from hell beneath, Christ Jesus was the first to be raised from the dead, before us. Because you need to realise that before the coming of Christ we were dead and buried in our trespasses and sin



Ephesians 2:1 And you has the Almighty God quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2:2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now is working in the children of disobedience:




Next time you hear about Christianity, just realise that in the original senses of the matter, they died and was raised together with Christ Jesus. But he is firstborn from dead.


Christians are not just some religious folks who have stopped doing this and that, in the light of the lord God Almighty wisdom and judgement, they came out from the grave and hell. The headquarters of Satan the devil.


If you say I want to be a Christian right now, it won't be your own will to do so, someone whom you can not see right now, but would begin to experience the moment you begin to live by trusting him and living for him, has called you to hear his voice.


It's never anyone's will to be a Christian. We are called, chosen and ordained by CHRIST to bear fruit and keep this tradition for ever and more.

The great thing about Christianity is the good work it is born to accomplish on earth and in the world to come.



Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

10:39 And we are witnesses of all things which CHRIST JESUS did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 10:41 Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

10:42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.



These words of scriptures confirms and clarifies what I have been struggling to paint here. If you would read with complete attention and not studying to argue.

Let me tell you something that probably you have never heard of, the devil the enemy of your soul, what I mean by that is that he is committed to stealing your soul, not only that.

But to destroy it, all of your senses, reasoning, thoughts and feelings and emotions. And to finally kill and mortar you on earth. I mean dust to dust.

His duty is to keep you off from seeing what the lord God Almighty is doing through Christ Jesus, to bring you up to the very place of resurrection.



The truth I bring to those of us who have accepted that the lord God Almighty raised Christ Jesus from the dead, should always and never forget that we were raised together with Christ and seated together with Christ Jesus in the heavenly realms.


But, that is not experience by you because of limitations of your knowledge and understanding in affairs of truth.

Grow in grace and in the knowledge of the LORD CHRIST JESUS and of God Almighty.

To conclude, realise resurrection from your dead works, those things which have so influence you greatly on the negatively points. Not by your power or by your might, but by my Spirit says the lord God Almighty.


It's not our thoughts to be born a Christian, it's by the will and pleasures of the lord God Almighty that we are his dear children. Amen
This is surely an inspired piece. More grace to you writer. Permit me to copy & share
