Much Respect To All Those Who Put Their Lives On The Line For The Sake Of Others by Nobody: 1:09pm On Aug 11, 2019 |
MUCH RESPECT TO ALL THOSE WHO PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE LINES FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS Walk with God at the level of the Spirit is one which requires that someone lives a selfless and sacrificial life in accordance with this saying of Jesus: "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it." {Matthew 16:24-25 (KJV)} So it's a life that requires that someone puts his life on the line for the sake of someone else, even the life that Jesus Himself also lived, as He died so that man can have eternal life. Matthew 20:28 (KJV) Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. And this life is quite similar to that of those whose job requires them putting their lives on the line to save and protect the lives of others such as those in the military. So because of the comparisons that could be drawn from the requirements at this level of walk with God, and those of the military, when I began walk at this level, I thought it would be wise for me to join the army to help prepare me mentally for the battle ahead, as walk at the level of the Spirit is also as one of a soldier who is in a battle field and involved in a war, only that in this case it's spiritual not physical. Therefore I had made that decision, but it was while I was in the process of taking that step, that I was stopped by God who told me that it wasn't necessary. So that's why I didn't proceed with my plans to join the army as I initially intended. Nonetheless understanding what it entails to live a selfless and sacrificial life, and to put one's life on the line for the sake of others, makes me to have such huge respect for those who do same and put themselves in harm's way to ensure the safety of others, for I know it's not easy at all to do so. Hence much respect to all those who put their lives on the line to save the lives of others, for in my opinion the job they do is the greatest job on Earth. God bless.

Lol! Perhaps only the "men of God" who fight for corruption, and have openly shown themselves to be supporters of thieves and national treasury looters who had diverted public funds meant to procure weapons for the fight against the boko haram terrorists, to fund their reelection bid etc., which resulted in the loss of thousands of lives. Mammon and pro-corruption warriors! |

jesusjnr: You mentioned something about seeing Jesus from a distance on one of your threads, although you didn't see the face... I want to show you something if it aligns with what you saw... Have you seen the Prince of Peace painting by Akiane Kramarik? 2 Likes |
Re: Much Respect To All Those Who Put Their Lives On The Line For The Sake Of Others by Nobody: 9:25am On Aug 15, 2019 |
OkCornel:Yes I did. I saw His face but only partially, for that was what made me know it was Him. No I don't think i've seen it but you can show it to me. Thanks. |

jesusjnr: Good evening bro Did He look similar to this? Perhaps judging from the hair texture and any other facial feature you could remember... 2 Likes 1 Share

OkCornel:My abandoning of this thread to ensure i got it right has really paid off, for I was about to come here and say that the image of Jesus I saw looked more like that of the common one than those you posted here, until I took a look at the face of the second one, and it was not just the face of Jesus I saw in the dream but also the look He had on His face. As for the hair texture am not so sure about it for it wasn't so clear, but what i'm sure about is the face and the look He had on His face, for it's very similar to the second one. Thanks for your patience bro. God bless. p.s. Please help me with the link to where you got the images from. 1 Like 1 Share |

jesusjnr: Hi bro, I got the images from here; https://akiane.com/ The first time I saw that image, was at the tail end of a film I watched at a friend's place. The name of the film is "Heaven is for Real" You have to watch this film. It was about a young boy - Culton Burpo who had a revelation of heaven (on a tour with Jesus) whilst he was operated on at the theatre. After his surgery, he recounted his experiences to his parents. At a point, his father was curious to know what Jesus looked like facially. The father showed him various pictures and paintings of Jesus. Not until Akiane Kramarik's painting of Jesus surfaced on a channel (either CNN or Opera Winfrey's show). That was when the boy confirmed that was the exact face of Jesus he saw. That film got me researching on Akiane Kramarik's (a gifted child painter) experience as well. Her story is a very interesting one. It eventually converted her atheist parents to Christ. You could read up more about her here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akiane 2 Likes 2 Shares |

OkCornel:Thanks a lot bro. God is really amazing and can use anyone to serve His purpose, imagine how many people would have been converted to Christ by her Prince of Peace drawing alone. I had the picture of the face I saw in my head and when I just saw the second one it was a match, and what amazed me the most is the look He had on His face was exactly the same there. I didn't want to make it easy for Him and just accept it because someone else said it was Him, but I wanted it to be really Him, and it turned out that it was really Him. Thanks a lot for digging this up, I thought about just updating the thread where I talked about His appearance with this information, but I think the message would be too hidden there, and that this development deserves a new thread. So when I'm through I would invite you to share your thoughts on it. Really nice bro. God bless. 1 Like 1 Share |

OkCornel: Closest pics so far, not all those man made Jesus in wall papers and movies. It isn't so perfect though, but this is the best I've ever seen. However this isn't His glorified looks, cos in that His hairs are as white as snow. The hairs here are meant to be black and not grey. Nice pics. @jesusjnr, Wish this could be posted in my cultism thread for the guy who asked me what He looked like. God bless 3 Likes |

EnthronedbyGod:Thought as much for I intended showing you these images to confirm this later. That gaze is the killer for me. Anyone who walks with Spirit of God, can hardly go wrong. And this was actually drawn by an eight year old girl who had only seen blurry images of Him in her visions and dreams, now can you believe that? EnthronedbyGod: I expect Jesus' appearances to depend on the occasion, just as on the mount when it was transfigured during His high level meeting with Moses and Elijah, so I think it's expected. EnthronedbyGod:Thanks be to God and to my beloved brother here who I believed God had used to confirm this, and also Akiane, the vessel He had used to bless us with this amazing image of Jesus. EnthronedbyGod:No wahala bro. I already thought about that, and would do that as soon as I can. BTW have you visited that thread of the other brother to see what happened to him, for I would like to have your thoughts concerning that. God bless. 1 Like |

EnthronedbyGod:This picture almost looks like the man I saw Remember I told you he had beards. The background was as dark as the background in the second picture and it made Him look like he had a darker complexion. It wasn't very clear but when I saw this picture, the image I saw in my dream just flashed through my mind 2 Likes |
