I Want To Know God by Exmilitant(m): 9:00am On May 03, 2020
I want to know and worship God, i know he exists. i would do everything to be led to him. have investigated almost every religious body and order recommended to me and instead of finding God, i became confused and disillusioned the more. Then i met a professor at the university of portharcourt who is a philosopher and an atheist he dismissed my worries with sound logic and dispelled the notion of god i felt at home. i became a philosopher and would use logic to wave away god and religion. Few weeks ago, i saw this proff libating to odin the god of pirates! (he is a seadog) I was startled. I felt betrayed and alone, these men have some form of god they reverence! I resolved to seek god wherever he may be found. Note that My search for god is not for material or health benefit or for socialisation. It is my soul yearning to be one with the ultimate reality. I cant believe that with all my wealth and connections i would still experience this empty aching feeling, this void, this yearning... I need GOD!!!

The best way to know God is to ask him to reveal himself to you personally.. but u must repent of your sins, ask him for forgiveness, then just pray for the next seven days with fasting God reveal yourself to me I want to know you, I want to experience you. Do this with a sincere heart and watch how God will transform your life..

Well get in contact with him and ask for a free home Bible study.

The same person will arrange for one of our qualified and mature Christian brothers to start studying the Bible with you at your leisure!

That's the first book i read that made me one of Jehovah's Witnesses today, though it was a tough journey for me because i was a Muslim back from then, but thanks to Jehovah, Jesus and his Witnesses today i'm one of them!

There are so many sacred secrets you need to know, i'm sure you will learn everything as you humbe and avail yourself for Bible study with Jehovah's Witnesses!

Do you know that this house to house preaching and teaching work Jehovah's Witnesses are doing today began in 1919?

Do you know that last year marks 100 years of their global campaign for God's Kingdom?

What do you think about 1919 ~ 2019 and Covid19?

Well i hope to see you in Paradise! smiley

Hmmmmmmmm i'm not sure my friend!

But from all indication things are happening too fast now!

Did you know that some 9 months ago Jehovah's Witnesses studied a publication in our meetings that says
"WE ARE IN THE LAST OF THE LAST DAYS"!

Please contact the witness who gave you that book and plead with him to show you the magazine that Jehovah's Witnesses studied globally last year that talks about this last of the last days!

Just three months later Covid19 broke out and ever since Jehovah's Witnesses have begun preaching and teaching from house to house from 1919 till now, there has never been a time when we were told to stop visiting strangers!

For your information, we still visit our regular Bible Students, we only stopped knocking on the doors of strangers!

God said that anyone who wants to find him must first believe in his existence.
Secondly you must believe that he will reward you when you seek him wholeheartedly. Are you ready for this?

Let's start with the following books that changed by life to seek God through spirituality and not via religiosity and doctrinations.

Man search for meaning by Victor Emil Frankl

I believe in Miracles by Kenneth E. Hagin

Slight Edge by Jeff Olson.

The first and last helped me building critical, logical and analytical reasoning, while the 2nd book helped me looked within and find God as a student.

I stopped being a follower, and I became a student. An Omnist.

There are more books and tapes, but these helped me in filtering my thought process.

I have only achieved less than 2% of my spiritual goals, but I now have the understanding that the "kingdom of God is within me and around me" and not what a pastor says.

I respect pastors as spiritual leaders , but I must x-ray their teachings in line with biblical injunctions, especially the elucidations in the Bible book of Revelation.

I shall refer further materials at your request.

Jesus never revealed sacred secrets to all people the same time! Matthew 16:20;17:9

There are things that Jesus reveals to everyone, there are some things he revealed to only his disciples, there are secrets he revealed to Apostles and there are secrets Jesus only revealed to some of the Apostles not all of them!

Well it's still the same Jesus so don't think he will ever change that attitude until when we get to God's kingdom! Hebrew 13:8

Because there are fallen angels (demons) who are also interested in sacred secrets about the end time {1Peter 1:12} and God doesn't want them to know it! 2Peter 2:4 Jude 6

These fallen angels are the ones accusing Jehovah's Witnesses always about false prophesies because when this organization began in the 1870s Jesus was revealing the secrets but they became presumptuous that's why they disclosed to the whole world the first thing he revealed to them about 1914, Jesus showed them something will happen in 1914 but they weren't patient enough to wait and grasp what this Mighty spirit being wanted them to learn!

Of course the World War 1 was a prove that they saw something! smiley

So till today Satan and his agents continue to declare Jehovah's Witnesses as false prophets, therefore they've learnt their lessons, NO PRESUMPTUOUSNESS! smiley

The sacred secrets remains within us! smiley

As your QUEST to know God continues have these scriptures in

1. 1 Corinthians 8:2,3......If anyone fancies that he HAS some kind of KNOWLEDGE he does not yet know in the TRUE sense of KNOWING. But if ANYONE loves GOD, he is KNOWN by HIM.

How can WE LOVE

1 John 4: 7,8 My dear friend, let us love one another because the source of love is GOD. Everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God, but the unloving know nothing of God, for God is LOVE.

1 John 4: 20 But if someone says, I love God,_while at the same time hating his fellow Christian, he is a liar. If he does not love a fellow Christian whom he has seen, he is incapable of loving God whom he has not seen.

It didn't stop HERE

Matthew 5: You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, LOVE your ENEMIES, bless those who curse you, do GOOD to those who HATE you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.


BOOK KNOWLEDGE has its ADVANTAGE but with this in mind...

Proverbs 12:12.......One further WARNING, my son: there is NO end to the WRITING of BOOKS, and much STUDY is WEARISOME.

From your post ABOVE you have READ so many WRITTEN works and you are about to CONTINUE again as some are already citing materials for you to READ which you have EQUALLY obtained. As you continue to read them put the PROVERBS cited above in mind.

What follows that PROVERBS is very INTERESTING.....

Proverbs 12:13 This is the END of the MATTER: you have heard it all, fear God and obey his COMMANDMENTS; this sums up the duty of mankind.

What are HIS COMMANDMENTS........

Matthew 22: 37Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

If you Love you will FULFILL the LAW, if you LOVE you won't be HANG up on PROPHECY and be PREDICTING up and down about the time the LORD will return when the Lord himself clearly states nobody KNOWS and trying to predict when the LORD will return is not among the CRITERIA that shows you KNOW GOD.

Lastly as you continue your SOJOURN to KNOW God always allow this man take you by the HAND.......but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST the power of God and the WISDOM of God.

This is the reason I said so..........27All THINGS have been DELIVERED to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone KNOWS the Father except the SON, and the one to whom the SON WILLS to REVEAL HIM.

Should you HELD that HAND in your JOURNEY you will FIND REFRESHMENT for your SOUL.

I don't think that should bring CONFUSION. One of the scripture I cited in my initial post has the below......

Matthew 11: 27 All THINGS have been DELIVERED to Me by My Father, and no one KNOWS the SON except the FATHER. Nor does anyone KNOWS the Father EXCEPT the SON, and the one to whom the SON WILLS to REVEAL HIM.

Where the CONFUSION is coming from I believe you should know by now considering the numerous books you must have come across in life. In the course of trying to PROVE whom the supreme God is many had made PARTIAL DISTINCTIONS (wisdom from above do not promote that...James 3: 17 and it has always been HIGHLY CONTENTIOUS( James 3:16)

I have JOINED such DEBATE in LIFE even here on NAIRALAND as well but of recent I found out it's all SCHORLARLY KNOWLEDGE to boost ones EGO and JUDGE others and you hardly see LOVE promoted. It becomes my belief is greater and TRUTHFUL than yours or others.(in a nutshell DOGMATISM and JUDGEMENTALISM) Even some ATHEIST show love, express love than those of US dragging the TRINITY all over the place.


Search Trinity thread on Nairaland it has ALWAYS been long winding discussion that goes ROUND and ROUND that when looked at critically don't promote LOVE of GOD but SCHORLARLY knowledge which has remained HIGHLY CONTENTIOUS. No one asked us to put the Father and SON at LOGGERHEADS and make them RIVALS of each other.

There must be a reason they call GOD in YORUBA........AWAMARIDI.

Feel free to read the Matthew 11:27 again and whatever you make of it, is YOURS to decide.

Its really my pleasure to know you are now a better man cheesy.

There is no point to prove ones worth,you yourself know yourself and your capability.

I dont need to prove my worth to any scum especially in a negative way.

I understand brother,the deed has been done and like i said i cant judge you for your past but i hope you really meet the true God and He is Jesus Christ the Son of The Most High.


I dont think i have right to talk about your repentance cos i am not better than you bro though mine isnt about killng.

Well hope you learn that there us nothing worth killing or dying for in life except Jesus Christ.

Wealth,women and power will come and go but the real peace of mind isnt amongst them.

I am happy to meet you bro and hope we can be more of positive influence to eachother.

Stay safe

Re: I Want To Know God by Kobojunkie: 8:57pm On May 24, 2020
Ask God to teach you about Himself DIRECTLY!

Jeremiah 31 vs 31-34
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
31. This is what the Lord said, “The time is coming when I will make a new agreement with the family of Israel and with the family of Judah.
32. It will not be like the agreement I made with their ancestors. I made that agreement when I took them by the hand and brought them out of Egypt. I was their master, but they broke that agreement.” This message is from the Lord.

33. “In the future I will make this agreement with the people of Israel.” This message is from the Lord. “I will put my teachings in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34. People will not have to teach their neighbors and relatives to know the Lord, because all people, from the least important to the most important, will know me.” This message is from the Lord. “I will forgive them for the evil things they did. I will not remember their sins.”
He promised He will do it.
