ivandragon:Are you saying things are better now? In a bid to defend Buhari or any person we should not let our sentiments cloud our judgment. The objective report here is not only that things have become more expensive, but even the purchasing power of the currency is way ridiculously low. Do you know how broke people are? Thank God for entrepreneurs, things would not have been funny. God bless entrepreneurs. You don't see that suicidal rate is on the rise? Nigerians who love life, taking their own lives? Is that not indication that things have become scary? You don't see that the church and mosque are getting over packed? People need a refuge, a place of hope, an answer from God. These are all indices of a failed state. Let's not mention the nsecurity that's no longer contained in the North but fast encroaching into other states. But fear not! It gets darkest just before the day breaks. Our day is breaking in Nigeria!!! Our Morning Star is come. God has heard our cries. If you've not been compelled to seek the face of God in this tough season, I wonder who you're still turning to. |
sweetrace:Well said, like the Berean Christians. Acts 17:10-11 Exactly my point, you need pastors too. And God honour pastors to the measure of their faithfulness so just have a higher esteem for them as you would your own father, even more. There's a Grace each pastor carries. Honour a prophet and you'll get the prophet's reward. Now, you struck a very deep chord when you said even kids can teach us. Very true. Just like you imolied, the Holyspirit is always using everyone around us to teach us if you can be sensitive to discern. But like wise, the devil is also using every one to tempt us to fall. One of the gifts of the Holy spirit is discernment of spirits. It is so important. Even pastors and mostly prophets can be used to make members fall. Peter was used to tempt Jesus Christ, that Jesus called him Satan and rebuked him. Likewise Agabus and other prophets tempted Paul, in order to stop him from going to his place of purpose, thank God he was very sensitive to the Spirit. Notice, Peter and the Prophets didn't do so out of hate, interestingly, they did it out of concern. Selah. Salvation is not complete when we limit it to the four walls of the church. It is most effective outside the church. But we need the church and any gathering of saints as a filling station. |
sweetrace:Please Ma, it is good to read without a critical mindset. Otherwise, you will end up only seeing what you want to see and miss the message. Concerning pastors, did you become the person you are today by studying the bible alone in your room? Yes, the Holyspirit is our teacher and much more but do you know how deep the Wisdom of God (the bible) is? You think a babe can just read and understand it? That is why you need the Ministry of Teachers, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Apostles as you continue your walk with the Holyspirit. This is how we mature into the Ministry. Followers first, then leaders as we grow. Do not despise the gathering of saints. Christianity is a personal journey but it is not a solo drill. We all need one another to grow, to correct one another, to impart and impact one another. Also when I said you carry the same anointing of a pastor, I simply implied we all received the same anointing and baptism of the Holyspirit, Grace and Faith even the same measure as early disciples, in fact the same Holy Spirit in our Lord, Jesus Christ. The only difference is our time and commitment which determines how we grow our Faith through the Rhema (revelation by the Holyspirit). If you spend more time building your intimacy with the Holyspirit and you let Him teach you the Word as you meditate, You can even outgrow your own pastor with time. But you will need a superdose of humility lest pride sets in and you fall. God bless you. |
sweetrace:You do realise that Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Father are the same One God. 1 John 5:7 So when he criticises and judges, it is as God, the only Perfect One without blemish, without Sin. As Christians we correct one another by exhorting (cautioning, advising and encouraging) one another in love. Only mature Christians are to judge. Titus 2 (1-15) Now who determines maturity? That's the question. Also you made a very valid point, every Christian is anointed. Which is why we are not to judge one another. You carry the same anointing of your pastor, the only difference is commitment. Pastors spend more time following Christ than most members. A lot of Christians are suffering because they keep judging anointed Christians. Now imagine how much more unbelievers who judge Christians? You have to also realise that Christianity is not a regular religion. It is a Love Affair because our God is Love. Has any one ever insulted someone you love? Has anyone ever slapped your mom or dad or wife or husband, child or best friend? What's your reaction? God is always seeking who will love Him enough to follow Him. He now finally finds someone who dedicates his life to follow Him, God puts the person through a lot of sufferings, tests, etc just to turn him into someone He can use. The person endures all this in his journey of becoming a pastor. And you, just feel you will insult such a one and God will stand akimbo? Now Numbers 12 details how Jealous God is for his servants so much that he struch Moses' sister with leprosy immediately even after Moses begged on her behalf. He had to reduce the punishment because of Moses' plea. Now Jesus Christ Himself said that the least person in His Kingdom is greater than John the Baptist, who was greater than Moses and all the other old testament prophets (according to Jesus). So imagine how much judgement we expose ourselves to when we judge Christians, Pastors? |
Emmariks:It's very deep. I can't unravel now. I will open a thread as more understanding comes. The veil is why some churches only preach new testament and discard old testament. It's also why some would think the God of old testament is different from the God of New testament. It's quite deep. |
FlirtyKaren:This (bolded) is unscriptural. Nigeria and in fact the world is in Darkness and chaos because Christians (Royal Priesthood, Kings and Priests) are not ruling the nations as Kings, Politicians and Presidents. God help us to know our place. The enemy has blinded us for too long. Thank God for the Revival and the Powerful Move of the Holy Spirit giving us Deeper Revelations of Divine Mysteries of the Word of God. |
spongeisback:I have so much to tell you but until you receive the Holy Spirit by accepting Jesus Christ, you cannot bear them. All you need to know for now is, all your Solution and Answers are in Jesus Christ and every day without Him is risky. God bless you sir. |
alBHAGDADI:Thank you sir. A major veil that I was delivered and unveiled of is the veil of the testaments. I used to see the old testament as Judaism and New testament as Christianity. A very subtle yet powerful bondage and veil. What is the implication of this Unveiling? The whole bible is Christianity. The difference is just that the sacrifices of sin and condemnation of the law has been broken by the sacrifice and blood of Jesus Christ. The old testament remains true, for God is not man that He should lie. The Old testament is the perfection of Godliness. It also points us to the Coming of the Messiah and what is expected of us as believers. I can't elaborate now. I hope to share more as more understanding comes. |
Well said. For a long time, I could not figure freeze out. On the one side, He's speaking the gospel. Tithe is not what pastors should focus on. There are more important doctrines in the gospel than tithing. When you save a person's soul, you don't have to keep preaching tithing for him to know it is for his own benefit. Jesus Christ, Our LORD himself preached this. Matthew 23:23-24 The Gospel is for Salvation of Souls and Godliness. This establishes God's Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Salvation of a human soul is what produces all round prosperity as one pursues righteousness and grows in faith through constant relationship with the Holy Spirit. Matthew 6:33, 3 John 2. However, there's only one worthy to condemn and judge, and that is God himself because Let He Who Is Without Sin Be The First To Cast A Stone. When we assume the office of criticizing, condemning and judging others, we have assumed the position and title of Satan himself, The Accuser of the Brethren. Revelations 12:10 And judging/criticizing a pastor is such a grievious sin that God descends immediately to judge. Because he expects us to respect his anointed and prophets. Numbers 12 My advice, leave them for God to judge. You could choose not to follow them or know how to pick their meat and throw away their bone. How did I finally figure Freeze out? "By their fruit you shall know them." He curses at the slightest provocation. Hes always angry towards Christians, pastors and those who comment on his posts. He does not live in joy and peace. A Christian should bless always and not curse. A Christian should express Love. Yes, it seems difficult to walk in love and peace on social media but when you have the Spirit of Christ inside you, nothing is impossible. Christianity is a higher calling, beyond human limitations. Peace, Joy, Love, Grace and Wisdom to us all. |
ilorinarchitect:A Christian would pray, be sensitive and trust God. You're exposing yourself to a lot when you do this. Especially on a Social Media platform like this. Any ways, God works in mysterious ways, just be guarded bro. Peace and Grace to you. |
Olalan:The truth is everyone knows it's bad. But the difference between Nigeria and countries that are neat is simply enforcement. Americans, Europeans, etc are as bad as Nigerians when it comes to breaking laws. But because they know there is zero tolerance to breaking law, that they can't escape fine or arrest or both, and very importantly, no one is above the law, that's why they obey the law. Nigeria equally has laws but no enforcement. God help us all. |
Dare2Try:Or prayed for, if we can. May God soften His heart and lead Him to Salvation in Jesus name. Amen. |
slimik:You've spoken well. Truly, Christianity is not the problem, the problem is always the people- You and I. The pastor keeps preaching but how many people practise what is taught? How many pastors even practise what they preach? So the solution is in us let the Word of God that is being preached take form in our lives. As we change our ways and let God transform us, we will become transformed individually and as a church and nation. It's that simple. And so shall God's Kingdom be established on earth, through you and me. |
gensteejay:Exactly why you keep chasing after other doctrines, philosophies and schools of thought. You hate the truth. I pray you realise it soon. And that only the Truth can set you free. Science is an explanation, science tries to understand the what and how. The Word of God tells you the What, How, Why and When. Any contradiction between Science and the Word of God should be regarded as an error of sciemce and discarded as falsehood. Science can be false to the extent that while it says you have malaria and fever which could be realistic, the word of God says you're healthy. Once you believe the word of God more than what science says, you are healed. The truth is too deep, it can't be explained until you believe and you're born-again. Good night sir. |
slimik:You don't have to be insultive to express your opinion sir. You say we don't know what Chriatianity is. I was hoping you knew. If you do, What is Christianity? |
Guess what I found? His Love is overwhelming. How can I describe the Presents in His Presence? How can I describe the Feeling of His In-Filling? Where does one start? I thought the world had pleasures to offer till I found my treasures at His altar. I thought I had seen it all, Till I realised I had no sight at all. He opened my eyes of understanding, now Love is all I see. He opened my ears, now I His praise is my music. Oh my Love loved me when I knew no Love. Oh how I grieved my Love, yet She knew not how to hate. How I worshiped idols, and showered them with the accolades that was due to my Love. Praising self, praising people, praising science, praising nature, Praising everyone else but my Love For my Love is tender in nature. My Love, how do I praise you now? How do I make up for ever sharing your glory? How do I tell the World of your Wonderful Story? Where does one start? I turn to my Bible, just to have a little clue of what You have done, What you are doing and what You will do. For Me, For Us, For Your Church, Your Bride, For this Nation and For Humanity. Where does one start? My Alleluia belongs to You. All the Glory belongs to You. Like oil upon Your feet Like wine for You to drink Like water from my heart I pour my love on You. If praise is like perfume I'll lavish mine on You Till every drop is gone I'll pour my love on You Jesus Christ, my Savior, my Redeemer, My Lord, My King... My Love. I Love You With All My Heart, With All My Soul, With All My Strength, With All My Mind. Your Love For Eternity and a Day More, Jacob, AM |

gensteejay:Have you heard the gospel? Have you heard of Jesus Christ? Have you heard of God's Love? I believe you have, but do you believe it? What is the Truth? The truth is You and I need Jesus Christ to escape from bondage, sin, depression, confusion, shame, fear, hatred, darkness, and escape death and eternal judgment. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. John 14:6 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that WHOSOEVER believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life. John 3:16 That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:9-13 All it takes is to genuinely believe and admit you need His help. To humbly admit your present truth to Him. And to accept and confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Your life will never remain the same after this. I'm a testimony of this simple yet powerful saving Grace in the blood and name of Jesus. |
gensteejay:You all know the truth. You only run from it because you want to be free. Unfortunately outside the truth, freedom is an illusion. |
traihit:Thank you sir. Any one who still expresses hate needs God. Both believers and unbelievers alike. If we knew who God created us to be, we will never hurt each other, never want to offend each other. In fact, we will truly Love one another as we love God. Because the Gospel is the gospel of Christ, whose gospel is to teach us Love. John 17:3 We can never know True Love without Christ. True Love is perfectly described in the parable of the Good Samaritan and in the book of 1 Corinthians 13. God is Love. 1John 4 |
Sarah20A:You shouldn't just pick a verse without reading the whole chapter when you want adequate knowledge. In the book of Jeremiah, chapter 7 clearly God was addressing the worshipping of the temple/church as an idol. Jeremiah 7:3-4 He was emphasizing that true worship is not the church but Godliness, the expression of good judgement, standing for the liberation of the oppressed, not committing evil, etc Jeremiah 5-11 Finally the answer to your question lies in John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. Now this didn't stop Jesus from preaching at the synagogue. He wasn't telling people to abandon churches. He came to teach us that we can carry the church every where because we are now the church. To conclude worshiping God is a personal journey of faith but it is not a solo drill. We need each other. We are called to be workers in His ministry. We are to find our place in the church, sharpen one another and continue to grow in Godliness through Christ-likeness. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25 |
phorget:Yes He did. God also destroyed the world. Does that mean we should all abandon earth? Don't misinterprete the bible to your own disadvantage. Why then are we not to despise the gathering of saints? Hebrews 10:25 Where were the brethren the Apostles were addressing their letters to? Certainly in different churches. The church is both us individually as members, as well as the Brick and Mortar. So continuing daily with one accord in the TEMPLE, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:46-47 The destruction of anything is to destroy our idolatary of it. To know that God is beyond it. For you to worship the Creator and not the Creature. God even destroyed the physical body of Jesus Christ, for you to know that the focus should still be on Him even though it is only through Jesus Christ you can truly gain access to Him. And to understand all these He sent us our Helper, our Comforter, our Convicter, our Teacher, our Enabler- The Holy Spirit. The bible without apt interpretation is a tool the devil always uses against man. His deceptive prowess lies in the ability to twist the word of God to give us a wrong understanding. True understanding only comes by the Holy Spirit. The letter kills but the Spirit gives life. And we have such trust through Christ toward God. Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God, who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:4-6 Shalom |
How do you expect someone that is frozen to EXPERIENCE God? When God is a Consuming Fire! His name Freeze only expresses the state of his heart. I pray he finds favour and Grace to repent. Some of us were equally so judgmental and lost. The worst part, He's doing all these not because he's trying to be evil, but because he thinks he is trying to save. His intention is good. The devil's greatest weapon is a function of Good Intention , False Knowledge and Religious Zeal. God's greatest weapon is Good Heart, Truth and Zeal. The devil always knows how to just twist God's Word/Truth and corrupt his method. But God is exposing, embarrassing and destroying all of Satan's devices and works like never before. What an exciting time to be in the Kingdom of God. Victory belongs to Jesus, yesterday, today, tomorrow and forever. Amen. |
Trizzi:This is a sensitive one. A delicate water to tread on. |
frankopit:Don't believe everything you read. The early scientist were very spiritual people, and a lot of them were Christians including Einstein and Newton. And yes you're right, Faith works for believers and unbelievers alike because it is a principle. But only in Christ can it make you truly prosper as your soul prospers. |
What a powerful leader. This is a very deep and empowering message. He is not only preaching the power of Faith, He is transferring the Power of Faith. As many as believe this sermon and receive the power of faith, our lives will never be the same again. We will no longer be too dependent on pastors and prophets, we will become dependent in the power of God inside us through believing in Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. This is the gospel. Halleluyah! |
OP You only described what he did in Poland and nothing about his return. |
You too like quarrel.lol Jay Z doesn't even acknowledge American celebrities online so it's no big deal sir. |
Your title and your content, something's not adding up. |
Yea. We should love Christ-likeness so much we would be keeping our faith out of love not just to make heaven. |
The difference between Obesity and fatness? There's a factor called body mass index, this measures the proportion of a person's body weight to height. Now, when the value of your body weight is very disproportionate to your height, that's known as obesity. First you get your height in metres, and your weight in Kg. So you divide your weight in Kg over your height in metres. Do you know doing this simple experiment can help you determine if you have any sickness or health issues.. now follow closely. BMI values Underweight- <18.5 Normal weight- 18.5 - 24.9 Overweight- 25- 29.9 Obese- >30 So if your BMI falls under the Underweight category, you're likely to suffer from the following symptoms : - malaria - typhoid - sickle cell anemia - AIDS. e.t.c If your BMI falls under obese, you would likely soon suffer one of the following conditions : - diabetes - cardiac arrest - arrhythmia - angina - hypertension - kidney disease A person can be fat, but not obese. Obesity usually indicates a medical condition, and physical signs include the person being unable to properly do any physical exercise, or shortness of breath when exerting oneself physically... while a fat person just from physical appearance can still exert himself/herself physically without too much difficulty. Hope that helps?? |
