I’m not really a Christian, but I do read the Bible in search of answers. One day after consuming marijuana, I was reading my Bible and finally found Mark 10:18. It blew my mind. It had to be only God that directed me there. Now I understand everything. Humanity is generally evil/bad. This is why people die. God can never die because he is good. 1 Like |

ChyOmaa: And he uses things that people without faith can get without believing so how does that distinguish your faith? |

God visited me in my room during my resting period. In my room. Not sleeping. He came.and asked me if I want to lose my soul. I said no. Asked me where is my daughter. I said in Nigeria. And he took me inside Catholic Church. In front of altar. And told me to worship him and not joke with it. Me personally hate Catholic Church. But u see what happened to me. Since then my dear. Na so. I woke up and wanted to run. I was in one room in Yankee that day thinking of my life. After that day I started going to morning mass cos I wasn't working. I had little last money with me. After two weeks I got a job that kept me going. No paper . Nothing 2 Likes |

Tetragramaton: U accuse me of trying to trivialize a miracle..Lol..A miracle?..I tink not... dt u dnt currently av an explanation for an event doesn't make it a miracle .. Once upon a tym human beings believed rainfall n eclipses were miracles n required intervention from a God ... Nw u n i av advanced so very much..Tanx to science by d way.. We know d occurrences dt eventually lead to rainfall..thunders n lightening..eclipses.. these events r no longer refered to as miracles..As science advances further..explanations for spontaneous remissions will bcom availabe.. N with d case of d patient d op talked abt...u 4gettin dt she's been on treatment 4 a yl..her family has spent ova 1.6mil on treatment..thats to tell u they've been using scientific medical therapies 4 a yl..one of these factors is probably reason y she entered remission n not because she said amen to a general prayer.. I pit it to u n pls ansa this question.. if "amens" were so powerful hw comes we've neva seen an amputee grow a new limb frm sayin amen!..i patiently await ur ansa.. 1 Like |

Around 2007/08, i started having symptoms of heart palpitation. By 09/10, it become so severe i thought i was gonna die, i was having fever all year round and was always in and out of hospital. When others were busy buying AC, I was busy shopping for room warmer for naija. I was not religious but i do go to church every once once. Then Shiloh came, that year, and like every other church stuff, i wasn't damn interested. But on this particular day Papa Adeboye was to preach at Shiloh, i felt this urge to suddenly go to Shiloh. Was damn stubborn so i fought off the urge. My condition was so bad that evening i was scared of going home since i lived alone. I usually drink loads of beer, so i will just sleep and hope i wake up again in the morning and funny enough, no one knew of this condition except my girlfriend. I was still busy at work doing over time as i usually go to work from school and then home. But on this day, the restlessness become just too much and all my spirit wanted me to do was go to the nearest Living Faith facility and hook up to Shiloh. I didn't want that. I wasn't a Shiloh guy. In fact i didn't believe in miracles sought of. Still had my doubts. I did all i could to shake off the go to Shiloh feeling, but nothing worked, so i closed and went home. Past 7PM, I still could not shake it off. In fact it was so bad and i was in serious pain i just wanted to sleep. Still could do nothing, just restless as all my spirit wanted was to be present at Shiloh. Finally, i gave in and found my way to the nearest winners church. Church was so filled and every where was packed , so i sat at a lonely spot by the fence. Soon afterwards, Adeboye took the mic and commenced preaching which i tried to follow to the best of my ability and when he started pray, he mentioned my case and said someone was getting a new heart. I just kinda believe it was me and i felt strange. Cant really explain it. Got home and slept without drugs or beer. That was the end of that case till date. It still kinda sucks never too the chance to share it with members of the Winners Family. But i never felt that pain again and never took any drugs for that purpose. But truth is i was saved when i least expected or deserved it. Glory. 7 Likes |

JhyMedex: For now, It is impossible for anyone to grow a limb because that is not the way the world is structured. Everything follows an order. Amen doesn't mean anything. Neither do our fasting, prayers and what not! Look at the planets and universes, look at the human structure itself, look at the animal kingdoms. Everything was done with utmost precision. Everything is structured and in order and even when Jesus wanted to come to earth, he had to come through a normal order and laws of the earth. Through Birth and not appearing and dissapearing. Even though the scriptures say it was holyspirit that pregnated mary. Perhaps they made it so just so his coming can be mysterious and angelic to the Primitive mind. He still came like a man. Born of a woman. Then why would anyone grow a limb? Science is not an enemy of God. God himself is science. Everything is there for everyone who is worthy enough to discover. Who knows , we can grow a limb some day but remember the white man we so much want to emulate have to many secrets they will not divulge. Secret societies which many scientist belong to and would swear on secrecy. I have read to much and even indulged in spiritism. God is real. Religion is tainted. |

franzis: IF AFTER PRAYING TO YOUR CEILINGS YOU WENT OUT AND GOT THE JOB DONE YOURSELF, AND MADE YOUR MONEY... WHAT WAS THE FUNCTION OF PRAYERS AGAIN? WHY DO YOU PRAY TO PASS AN EXAM WHICH YOU STUDIED FOR, BUT DON'T PRAY FOR DISABLED PEOPLE TO GET BACK TO NORMAL? NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU ARGUE IT MY FRIEND, PRAYERS ONLY GIVE A BELIEVER SOME KIND OF CONFIDENCE TO GO OUT AND ACHIEVE THIGHS. BUT IN ALL REALITY, PRAYERS DO NOTHING.

JhyMedex: God is not a magician. I will not water down the power of God or faith. You are again not getting my point. Science is not an enemy. Everything is there for any body to discover. Moving a mountain doesn't mean wishfully thinking a mountain will move. Don't literally study the bible like you're reading a novel. Its actually filled with hidden meaning and secrets. A mountain can be moved using technology. Technology that evolved through try and error. Not giving up on that technology is having faith that one day the scientist will get it and actually be able to move mountains. Same as replacing a limb. God will not come down to replace it. The technology is there. Which I'm sure there are already experimenting using rats. It takes continuous effort, faith and determination that they will get it right. That's why I laugh when people think science is an enemy of God. No its not. Everything is at our disposal. We are to use it for the progress of humanity. Yes miracles still happen. Miracles that defy logic. Paranormal activities exist. If I were to talk about that, u wouldn't sleep tonight. Right now, I am tired. Goodnight. |

It's been 2 years exactly that Jesus Christ saved me from the teeth of the devourer and I am so shocked that I cry everytime of how God preserved my life. I will never forget God and I am in awe of him for life. In 2012 I met a guy I loved but he brought evil into my life and I was already written off to not exist. I kept praying and kept struggling with him as we had been woven into each other both physically and spiritually . I'm not going to reveal scary series of events but by the time Jesus Christ had my time, he removed me from grass to grace. My life is so much better now you wouldn't suspect the evil that happened to me in the past. What my eyes witnessed I cannot open my mouth to tell anymore , ordinarily I shouldn't survive. Surely a higher power not only saved me but blessed me with all I need to carry on in this journey of life. Thank you Jesus. 2 Likes |
