I remember something that happened to a bros that I used to know those days in the 1990s. I was very young and not born again then, so I didn't understand the significance till recently. He went to a Prayer Mountain to vigorously pray and fast that God should give him a UK Visa. He was a 300Level student of UniBen, but he wanted to apply for Visa and relocate to UK. On the 7th day after breaking the fasting on the mountain, he was still doubting if God ever heard let alone answered his prayer. He descended from the Mountain and went back home. That very everain, it rained very heavily. Around 9:00pm, he heard a knock on his door and went to open. To his amazement, the beautiful girl that he has been toasting since 100Level but refused to say yes let alone date him, was there drenched standing facing him at his door. Still in the rain with her cloth tightly stuck to her breasts and body revealing all her curves, she asked the puzzled-looking guy if he wants her to come in or not. He said "why not?!" Feeling like his luckiest day in Life, he ushered the girl in and quickly made tea for her, gave her one of his shirts to change into, etc. Long story short, the girl slept over and they guy had the most wonderful sex of his life. They continued the relationship till the Semester ended.

The bros applied for the Visa during the vaction and was denied. That in itself, is noting to raise eye brow about. But he received the greatest shock of his life when the resumed for the next Semester. He severally went to check her in her department and at her hostel room but couldn't see her. He was told by her departmental students that they've not seen her at all that sementer. He was afraid that maybe she's sick or maybe she died during vacation. Being so much in Love with this girl, he finally got her parents' address and traveled to meet them. He saw her mom and dad and inquire of what has happed to her. The mom smiled and told him to relax his mind, that their daughter got a UK visa during the vacation and relocated to UK. To say this guy was shocked to the marrow would be an euphemism. They were together for months after the first raining night and she never for once told him she want to travel out, while he told her everything about himself. He later dropped out of the University.
Sex is the easiest tool to hijack Virtues. Answered Prayers can be hijacked, Glory can be hijacked. It not worth it, to lose being great in this life and in eternal Life because of 5 minute pleasure. Do yourself the greatest favour, focus on the being holy, safeguard your Destiny.
Rubbish

Op, we don't need miracles anymore that's why God removed it.

All we need is love not miracles.
I don't know why you people keep demanding signs and wonders from heaven before you believe.


I kinda agree with you... The miracles that happened in the old testament was great and powerful... But when Jesus advised.. He said we should love one another....

GOD still wrought miracles today.i have been an old time child of God and still growing though. I know how it use to be in the early 90s serving the lord and following, the zeal, use to be far more than we have now, but I also observed that the level of knowledge then was lower,though zeal was higher .That's a testament fact that the love of many has waxed cold and dwindled daily. I for one is a living witness, it's not been easy coping, the so many troubles of the world keep choking on daily, and some times it seem the higher I go ,the more the demands.Then the kind of gospel we hear this days on a larger scale is a serious poison.only very few ministers talk about the outpouring of HIS presence and deep fellowshipng with the God head .But for some of us who still understand were we are going and are ever ready to keep moving ,we watch and seive what we allow into our hearts.Most of our churches are not helping matters either,then our foremost generals and fathers of faith have tried but have also done some damages to out culture and theology and doctrines too.(wanna leave talking about this so I do not rouse great rift).All the same God is raising a remnant,end time soldiers, they are rising g up gradually,they are springing up, I have seen the sign already, I just hope you are also going to join the brigade,it wont have anything to do with denomination or fables of doctrines,it will be solely CHRIST AT THE TOP.Great men like my mentors of new ,AROME OSAI AND JOSHUA SELMAN,GIDEON ODOMA,kolawale olarenwaju etc... are on the rise with giants trailing behind ,the army will rise in this Name with the song of ADONAI ON THIER LIPS and ALL those opposing the end time revival shall be thrown aside and put to shame too. THE WAY and manner this generation is falling out is so so despised and ashamedly disgraceful to the name of the most high.Please let's all join our hands in this spiritual fight and I am sure 2chro 7:14will come to pass in our time .I AM A YOUTH TEACHER MY SELF AND I SPEAK FROM RAW PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE ,GOD BLES YOU HERE ALL.

The thing is we are wrongly indoctrinated in christendom today in every way so that the average believer doesn't have a set goal for his faith. Even some here are saying we don't need miracles today just love (what an oxymoron, true love gives birth to miracles even though they can happen without love which was Pauls point in 1Cor 12-14). So without clearly defined goals we automatically are stagnant and not developing our faith. Our many celebrated figures worsen things by not preaching the true word of God but preach all sorts of stuff which ends in leaving believers with only a responsibility of sowing into their anointing through seeds, tithes and offerings and an impractical (because they're only told to but not how to utilise grace to) task of living righteously (no real standards marked out). Good news though is God wasn't taken by surprise by man's failure in handling the gift of grace and all good and evil will only spice the story He's writing through history. Watch how He's gonna unite us in the true faith to attain the fullness of the stature of the son of God in the unfolding times beginning with the soon release of several men he's kept behind the scenes, who he's been training like David and his mighty men in cave Adullam onto centre stage to dazzle and reclaim this world with the display of His raw power and glory as in bible days. They will teach the true gospel clearly and unambiguously so people can grow in their relationship with God. Heralding the good news so we don't lose hope. The time for this is already so close.

Dont agree to lies. Be careful what you allowget into you. The Lord sometimes did greater miracles than recorded in the Old Testament ranging from raising a man four days in the grave to commanding the storm to obey him and turning water to wine because love results in power (although power could still come without love). And He said he who has faith will do the same works and even greater works. So develop love until it produces great power which was pauls point in 1Cor 12- 14.

Okay.. Let's put it this way... Continue in that love and that love would produce more power and then miracles happen... Isn't it??

Make una no de decieve people. I went to greet a colleague of mine who just gave birth and the 3years old daughter ask the mother how baby do come out of woman's belly? The mother replied saying Jesus is the one who bring baby out and I counter her immediately, telling her to teach the children the truth not teaching them some illusion. I wonder why she can't just give the credit to the Medical practitioners who took charge of the delivery.

Bro, love without power is humanistic love. Although power may work without love. Divine love however activates supernatural power. Dont be misguided. Many people accept and spread this lie of demons when they can't figure out how to activate the power of God.

Actually there were no 'miracles' performed in the olden days, it's just lies same way we are hearing it these days. In the next 1000 years, some foolish religious ones will be thinking that Kumuyi, TB Joshua, Adeboye, Oyedepo etc. of these days(which would have become olden days) performed miracles not knowing that they were all bunch of scammers. That's how it goes.

Common Era 21: 10- 12
10. I have found hundreds of miracles in the scrolls and scripts of Christianity, but I have not found the family members or descendants of those whom these acclaimed miracles happened to, despite going round Rome, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Athens, Damascus and other places where the miracles were claimed to have occured.
11. Therefore I make my guess that likewise shall millions of miracles be claimed to have happened through the christianity of the future, but none of these miracles shall happen to the people you know very well.
12. You will hear the blind having restoration of their sights, the lame walking, the deaf hearing, the dumb speaking, the dead raised back to life and all such like this, but you will be amazed that right from your childhood to your old age, none of these acclaimed miracles shall have happened to the lame man next door, the blind man near your garden, the deaf man following you to the temple, the dumb man begging you for alms and the dead man whom you have prayed to raise from the dead in the name of this Iesus Kristus.

Was the Bible wrong when it says in Psalms 14:1 that the fool says in his heart that there is no God.

You can see how unbelief is making you sound and look foolsh and dumb...

You were expecting a mother to teach a 3-year old female child the process of conception and baby-making just because you wanted to appear smart?

Do you take time to watch true christian channels on TV to hear great testimonies of those who have experienced and are still experiencing verifiable miracles daily.

As for me I have enough miraculous experiences and interventions in my life through prayers to know miracles still occur.

If you are not convinced about your faith in Jesus through signs, you will one day question God's existence when life hits you. John the Baptist, the prophet that anointed Jesus himself questioned the credentials of Jesus Christ as the Messiah when he was arrested.

God does not deal with millions, they don't detect for him.

Your faith in God is rooted in your conviction.
very true

And it is these miracles(supernatural manifestions) that brings about conviction.
that shouldn't be the case anymore.
Supernatural manifestations were meant to convince the Pharisees and the Jews in Jesus days on earth that's why we see the miracles today in the bible.
Miracles were never meant to be extended to this modern day rather Love, knowledge and understanding which are the greatest miracle ever is what is expected of us this modern day.

If you are not convinced about your faith in Jesus through signs, you will one day question God's existence when life hits you.
that happens to only those who don't have the knowledge of scriptures.

John the Baptist, the prophet that anointed Jesus himself questioned the credentials of Jesus Christ as the Messiah when he was arrested. Jesus even told the disciples of John about the miracle He has been doing as a prove of who He is, miracle is very important... I am a living witness.
very true!
Because signs and wonders was the demand of the people of John the Baptist generation for them to believe, that's why Jesus described them as wicked and adulterous generation.
But guess what?
The least person in God's kingdom is greater than John the Baptist and everyone in that generation.
In God's kingdom, there is nothing like miracle because everything is perfect the way God created it.
Rather, what should give us amazement should be Love, education and understanding, not any miracles and emotions.
Think about that.
