bloodofthelamb:If people knew what that this means. The kingdom of God will indeed be suffering a violent taking by now. Just a glimpse is all we need. |
bloodofthelamb:Lool thanks sir. That means a lot. May He continue to transform us into the image and Glory of Christ in Jesus name. Amen. |
LePrezident:Thanks boss. Continue to keep me in your prayers bro. Thanks. |
LePrezident, bloodofthelamb, ScienceWatch This is my most profound write-up yet. And it came with much challenges but please, enjoy and share where possible. Thanks |
A person of value is one who brings value to other people. This is a person who can solve people’s problems, make connections and introductions. This is also a person of extreme expertise in a particular career or area. A person who is trustworthy and reputable.Does it come in audio book? Thx |
paxonel:You started well but lost me sir. The scripture you quoted is profound. It contains both the problem and solution of both the church and humanity. Training of a child (in Christ) is called Discipleship. The absence of this is what haa stunted the church. Kindly visit my thread for more details. Peace and Grace be unto you sir. |
bloodofthelamb:Thanks bro. Would love to hear your salvation testimony soon sire. |
This revelation came with a powerful spiritual warfare that even my pastor felt, because the enemy never wanted this message to get out. He never wanted you to hear this. But thank God we prevailed, the enemy lost both the battle and the war. And as always, Victory belongs to Jesus. Hence do not take it lightly. This message will change your thinking, your mindset and your life. The message was originally titled Life And Spiritual Warfare Is All About Programming I have been getting several revelations from it ever since, out of which are The Power of Positive Confessions by the Word (Prayers) and The Toxicity of Negative Speech. I hope to continue this series as inspired and led by the Holyspirit. What is a Program? 1. A set of structured activities. 2. A particular mindset or method of doing things. What is Programming? 1. The designing, scheduling or planning of a radio or television program / programme. 2. Brain-washing 3. The software that controls a machine, or the logic expressed in such software; operating. With these definitions, I hope we get to appreciate the significance of the words we program or we allow to be programmed into our minds- consciously, subconsciously and even unconsciously. The Fundamental Truths: 1. Who Are You? You're a triune being made up of 3 components. You're a Spirit with a Soul(Mind) living inside a Body. Your true self is your spirit being. Your body is your suit/vessel that enables you to inhabit earth for the duration of the appointed time you're meant to fulfill God's purpose for your life. And You have a soul that acts as the intermediary between your spirit and your body being. 2. John.3.16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 3. God is Spirit, and all who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:24 The Day you're Born Again marks the day your spirit is re-born, to be reunited with God, the Holyspirit, helping, convicting and guiding you into all truths. Ezekiel 36:26 KEY VERSE To stress and buttress this, let us hear and see what the bible says. Rom.12.2 - And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. As long as we're alive, the world i.e government, everyone around us and every thing we listen to or watch, is trying to conform us, trying to program us to do things in a certain way. We have been programmed with certain sets of ideals, rules, philosophies, religious doctrines, etc. Our parents have brought us up with their own ideals, our schools have done the same. Our siblings and friends. Our colleagues, our partners (boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse) and even our society with its cultural values. Just when you thought that's all. The media comprising of the Press, TVs, Movies, Novels, social media, etc have constantly been programming us for years ever since we could hear and see. So I guess the ultimate question is, What Has Been Programmed Into You? You wonder why a Tout or Miscreant (Agbero) is so violent and uncouth. You wonder why he acts the way he does, speaks the way he does with little or no regard of who watches or whose ox is gored. You might have even imagined yourself in his shoes and it just doesn't fit. You can't just imagine the imagination even if you tried. The thought alone is cringe-worthy. But the truth is, he was once as normal (relatively) as you and I. The difference is life programmed him at some phase in his existence and he has been brainwashed to believe that is the only way to survive, to be feared, brash and violent in order to make his ends meet. Truth is, it could happen to any one, just thank God that's not your situation. Now, the question is, What is Your Own Situation? Now my point is, our composite nature, character, attitude and personality are a sum total of What we Hear, Say and Think over the years. In the same vein, you are also "the world" to another person. So ask yourself, what have you been programming into other people's lives? Are you the type that always makes jokes of people's sutuations? Do your words build others up or tear people down? Are you so envious of your friends and siblings that you will say anything to be a wet blanket in their lives never allowing them to reach for their dreams, always picking faults instead of words of encouragement. And oh please by all means refrain from online bashing all in the name of attention, likes and shares. It's a spirit that has overtaken and now rules the social media. The attention might be gratifying for a short while, but the damage you may have programmed into another's mind might be one that could ruin their mood for the rest of the day or even worse. They say Suicide rate is on the rise, yet we wonder why? There is so much negative programming everywhere. So many people are losing hope in their tomorrow. You turn on the TV- bad news, you get a BCM on your Whatsapp-terrible news. Everywhere you turn people are peddling negative speech. If you keep accepting such programs into your mind and you do not have The Word to rebuke them, they become your reality. They shape you thinking and ultimately that's how some people lose hope and believe it can never get better and end up doing something rather stupid. Yes,I have found myself in such position countless times. I had been a suicide risk because I had accepted the negative programming of my society and the world, I had believed the rest of my life would be all about struggles and terrible social habits and the thought scared me. I felt I had missed my opportunities to be successful at certain age limits set by employers and society. I would have ended it all save for the thought of my sweet mom and the effect my death would have on her. But really it was Grace just protecting and preserving me for Purpose. Grace eventually found me and I can't believe in just a year how much Re-programming the Word (Bible) has done to my mind (my soul). I can't believe I ever felt so sad, so depressed, so hopeless, as blessed as I was even then. So many of us are still suffering from the negative speech we were told since Primary school or secondary school by our Teachers or fellow pupils/students. Harsh words that have kept us grounded in life, thinking we're failures and would never amount to anything or feel awkward and inadequate in certain situations. . Some have been victimised by their friends or relationships. Some relationships are so toxic, the kinds of words, curses and traumatic experience people have been through broke them so much that they could never trust or love anyone like they ever used to. A recent example is the case of CeeC and Tobi in the last concluded Big Brother show. Imagine the words she said to him. Now imagine living with such negative speech every time imprinted into your mind for the rest of your life? I just hope and pray Tobi rebuked them and I also pray she finds salvation. Please be very cautious of the things you say to others and what you allow into your mind, Even music. Recently there's a music with a chorus "O ma ni problem o" by Reminisce. You might think it's funny or inconsequential but I don't believe You or even He want to have problem. Yet that is the song someome would hear every morning when they wake up and every night before they sleep. Why won't their lives be full of problems? Now the only solution is to keep your speech positive and flood your mind with positive messages. The word of God is full of so much blessings and positive declarations for your spirit, soul and body. Gospel and inspirational songs actually prophesy into your life, words that break down barriers, cast down strongholds and evil imaginations and arguments. 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; I used to hate gospel songs, they were not only boring to me but I just couldn't believe anyone could believe the words and lyrics in them. That was when I was so lost, I mean as an atheist you can only imagine how disconnected I was. I have ended a relationship just because she didn't respond to a sexual song the way I responded to it. I felt if we didn't vibe musically, we were simply incompatible. (It was that bad) You have to understand my life was music. Like MIMS, Music was my saviour. Or so I thought. Now I know better. Only Christ can save. (And don't worry about her, she's married with kids now.lol) Today, you cannot find any secular music on my phone. Only gospel music and messages. And the joy and pleasure I derive when I listen to these songs goes beyond what any secular music could ever offer me. I still listen to secular music around but when it comes to feeding my spirit, soul and body, I will rather play and listen to Positive speech through Audio Bible, messages or gospel music. Is it not interesting that we pay so much attention to what we feed our body with? We are careful of the things we eat because we know its effect. The things we eat will either make us fresh or make us obese or even give us infection. How much more the things we feed our spirit and soul? Imagine the effect. Now this is what Jesus, God the Son, says about our speech. Mark 7:14-16 When He had called all the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear Me, everyone, and understand: There is nothing that enters a man from outside which can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are the things that defile a man. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!” I hope you get this and not brush it off as another article. You should know that the Greatest battle in heaven and on earth, is the battle for the human soul/mind- for your soul and mine. Whoever controls your soul controls your spirit, Controls You. Prov.4. 23- 24 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you. Peace and Grace unto us all in Jesus name. Amen. |

For any one who is spiritually sensitive and observant, you will know that there's been a recent wave of Revival across the world. Unexpected disciples are being raised from the least expected corners and spheres of the world across all fields and professions. An incomprehensive list will be enumerated here due to time constraint. 1. Justin Bieber When Bieber broke into the music industry as a teenager he literally had the world by its ear. Every body loved him, so innocent and promising. But fast forward a couple of years after, whenever Justin made the news it was an eyesore and ear-pang, the innocent soul we all loved was no where to be found. He would curse out his fans, attack the press (even though they probably deserved it), pee on stage and in the public and even got arrested for DUI a couple of times. All hope was lost for our once golden child. But guess what happened when we all lost hope in him? That was when God showed himself and let him realise, it's never over. One way or another, he met his pastor and his life would never remain the same again. All of a sudden, he cleaned up his acts, got himself together and has become a beacon of hope to many. 2. Majid Michel 3. Charley Boy 4. Kanye West 5. Kemi Olunloyo *, etc |

GodSon34:Ok. I apologise sir. I will no longer disturb you. |
GodSon34:You have a vast knowledge. I think what's missing is you pray for the Holyspirit. 1. To give you understand of the things you know. 2. To guide you into all Truths. Please try not to find offense in what i write and also read my post on How To Connect To God, Your Creator. I believe with all humility to God, confessing and believeing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. , you will receive the Holyspirit. Trust me, it's that easy. You will be amazed how much measure you will be transformed once you start operating in your true self, your spirit consciousness. Peace and Grace be unto you. |
hopefulLandlord:I learnt of other religions through the vast library available online and also ex-members who converted to Christianity. Please read my post on The Truth Vs Religious Deception, and also Religion Is The Enemy. Peace and Grace be untp you sir. |
Hond:Kindly check my threads. I believe your questions regarding God, religion and atheism will be answered by God's Grace and mercy. Thanks sir. |

GodSon34:Sorry about that. The devil is a liar. It's actually Deuteronomy 28. Remember to pray for understanding before you read. Peace and Grace be unto you. Amen |
GodSon34:I'm glad you mentioned this. You have a curious mind and that's good. When the Holyspirit led me to this mystery barely days ago, I was amazed. The book of Deuteronomy contains virtually all the mysteries. Regarding the mystery of iniquity, please pray before you read. It is contained in Deuteronomy 28. Read all of it. Have a clear mind devoid of preconception. Peace and Grace to you in Jesus name. Amen. |
GodSon34:Ok. I apologise. I however found the Truth in the bible. Thanks. |
ScienceWatch:Jesus kept preaching to the Pharisees and Saducees too even though he knew they would be the ones to crucify Him. So please no discrimination in sharing the Word. Thanks. |
GodSon34: You said here that you dont trust the bible yet you're quoting the bible? The verse says the Holyspirit will guide you into all truth. Please the Holyspirit is the inspiration behind the bible. Rev.22.18-19 - For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Please ask for forgiveness. It's little things like this that cause us to miss it. |
GodSon34:You didn't answer my question. Which book did you get the information from? |
Discipleship, The Solution: The Holyspirit has been directing me into His Word and leading me into mysteries that have kept the church some what ineffective and delayed the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. This revelation came with a fierce spiritual warfare and I'm excited to let you know WE HAVE WON. We have won not only the battle but we have won the war by faith, that is in the spirit realm. The steps to bring this victory to reality, that is the physical realm have also been revealed. I strongly hope you are as excited as me! Everything we need is in the bible. How the enemy made us to overlook these prayers is what amazes me. Yes, there are prayers Jesus, God the Son, exhorted us to always pray, yet we hardly do. 1. The Lord's Prayer Matthew 6:9-13 2. Matt.9.37-38 - Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Unfortunately most of us do not appreciate these prayers. Please we can never outgrow these 2 prayers. They are the most complete prayers. While The Lord's Prayer is complete as it is, it will only take the Provision of worthy Labourers to help transition Born again (harvest) into Disciples and ultimately Christians. A new convert is automatically a Born again because not only has he come into the knowledge of Christ, he has also confessed and accepted Jesus Christ as His Lord and Saviour. Unfortunately this is where most believers remain. In the absence of labourers, they assume they're automatically Christians. Hence they skip Discipleship which is the most crucial step. The 12 were not Christians first but Disciples first. It was the people of Antioch who named them Christians because they had become Christ-like after receiving the Holyspirit and an indepth knowlege of the word that they could teach the gospel and also make other disciples. Who is a Disciple? A person who learns from another, especially one who then teaches others. An active follower or adherent of someone, or some philosophy etc. Does this sound familiar? Matt.6.33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Seeking the Kingdom of God means to learn with all diligence about Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of God. This is what Discipleship is meant to achieve. Go to Foundation class, Avail yourself for Sunday and Midweek services where possible. Go with the intention to know Christ, not just to be blessed or to get a job, etc but simply to Know Christ for Whom He is. Try as much as possible to choose Jesus/church over Mammon; your job, business, cares of the world. This might sound a bit difficult but truly once you start you'll realise how joyful it is. Ps.16.11 - You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. To conclude, I exhort us all to add these 2 prayers to our daily prayer routine especially every morning. Also add the prayer of the The Grace becauss this is important in acknowledging the Trinity of God and also inviting God into our daily life. You should be very excited!!! Why? The Kingdom of God has come. Let me help with a glimpse. The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of Righteousness, Justice, Love, Peace, Mercy, Abundant Blessinhs, Joy, etc If you can assess the world we're presently living in, these are what we're missing. I wish I could go deeper. Please start praying!!! If you can't speak in tongues please start craving it. It is heavenly language. Speaking in tongues helps us pray so we don't pray amiss and build us up spiritually. So help us God. Let us pray. Our Father Who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses. As we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for Thine is the Kingdom, the Power and Glory forever and ever. Amen Heavenly Father we pray you, provide worthy Labourers for your full harvest and make us worthy labourers for your work in Jesus name we pray. Amen. The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Love of God and the Communion of the Holyspirit be with us now and forever. Amen Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the presence of the Lord forever and ever, Amen. |
GodSon34:Which book did you get this information? Is it the bible? |
ScienceWatch:Please this is not proper. Don't forget you were once unsaved. May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Love of God and the Fellowship of the Holyspirit be with us now and forever. Amen. |

Thy Kingdom Come... This was the work Christ came to work for His Father. From the moment He was baptised and filled with ths Holyspirit He began to preach "REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND" Yet over 2000 years after, this is yet to be fulfilled. In fact instead of the kingdom of God, what we have is the opposite. A kingdom of terrorism, oppression, poverty, sickness, anger, frustration, etc. Why you may ask? Simply because we failed to fulfill our purpose as a church, as the Body of Christ. When this revelation came, it was amazing. The devil is really a strategic genius. This is not to think he is more powerful than you or me. But he has kept us deceived to remain in our body-being cinsciousness to keep us manipulated and overpower us with his fears and schemes. In your spirit-being consciousness, once you become connected with God by becoming One with Christ, you attain your God-like limitless and supernatural realm. At this level the devil has no power over you once you remain connected. Now I had to stress this because one of the genius schemes of Satan was in Dividing the Church. Jesus did not come to set up denominations, he simply came to establish a church. Please don't confuse this one church to be the Catholic church, but rather the entire Body of Christ, Christians that are connected, conscious and committed to the work of the Kingdom of God, doing the will of God and performing their purpose as revealed to each individual by God. Satan learnt this strategy from God anyway, remember the story of the Tower of Babel. There is so much Power in Oneness. Oneness in Mission and Vision. Corporate establishments know the power of this. Which is why they ensure every new employee is not only taught their mission and vision statements but also memorise and internalise it. This is why the church, Body of Christ has to become One again. The individual members have to start operating with one Goal, One Mission, One vision. If you notice, each denomination has it's individual strength which is not so available in another denomination. This is to let us know we are meant to be One. At this point I must stress this, Most prominent churches are really so because they were established by God. We have to stop the discriminations that is now so rife among members of different denominations. We have to start seeing one another on the grander level. 1 Corinthians 12:27 says, Now Ye are the Body of Christ and members individually. This should not be limited to the local assembly but the entire Body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:4 says, there are different gifts but tye same Spirit. This why Winners Chapel is so strong in Faith, RCCG's strength is Wisdom, BFMI with the gift of Wisdom and Knowledge, Potter's House strength is Wisdom, Knowlege and Prophecy, Benny Hinn with gift of Healing, SCOAN with the gift of Healing, KOINONIA with gift of Wisdom, knowledge and Healing, Celestial Church is so strong in Prophecy, etc. Please this is also very important. Don't judge the church by its members. So many are Born again but never transitioned to Christians. The devil also strategically took advantage of this to infiltrate the church. If we have to start picking faults of members, we will miss the purpose of that church. It gladdens my heart so much that there's a revival of the Holyspirit that has swept across the church and even beyond, in the Media and even Political leaders across nations too. Let us keep praying together the 3 major prayers Jesus Christ, God the Son urged us to always pray. - Our Lord's Prayer -The Grace -Worthy Labourers for the Full Harvest (Born Agains). Also be sensitive to the Holyspirt, pray to know God's purpose for your life. Always see the Confession prayer and Re-dedication prayer as an opportunity to re-affirm the Lordship of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and our Belief in Him. This not only helps you to repent, it helps you to show your humility to God. Peace and Grace be unto us in Jesus name. Amen. |
ScienceWatch:Thank you so much sir. The harvest really refers to the Born again that have not been able to transition to Christians because there has been a shortage of True pastors to teach them Discipleship. God help us all. I love you with the love of God. May God provide worthy labourers in Jesus name, Amen. An atheist is like you said unripe, just like any other unsaved too, even boko haram is no different from Paul. They are victims of unbelief and religion respectively. Remember man was created in God's image. Just try to see beyond the persons present state, He was originally created to fulfill God's purpose. You needed to know how terrible I was, I led people away fron Christ. You would have called me the anti-Christ too. But look at me now. Try to see beyond the sinner, see God's image in them. So if you love God, you will start to love them too. And if God wills, they will be saved too through their humility. |
RussianKGB:I wasn't individualising the problems, I mean has scientific amd techmological advancement solve the problems of humanity? Terrorism, Poverty, Diseases, High rate of Depression amd suicide, Homosexuality, Transexuality, High Divorce rate, etc. I know it's hard changing one's belieg system especially when the present is pretty ok. But trust me if it's not the true belief system, it's not good enough. You have the opportunity to operate in the realm of the Godlike nature and power you were created to be. The devil hates this realitu so he reduced us to our body and soul consciousness to keep us at his manipulative level. I wish you would just choose to believe I'm telling you the truth. Why else will I wake up in the middle of the night responding to a stranger? I have lost so much for years, I don't know your age but you have the privilege and advantage of not doing the same. Peace and Grace be with you in Jesus name. Amen. |
hopefulLandlord:I've already answerwd that on a previous thread and im sure I mentioned you in it. About Miracles? How God destroyed amd exposed the fetish stuff buried deep in the foundations of my dad's house. And even revealed who planted it there to me. But the central idea of my response to you is that looking for evidence before you believe is not the way to go. Spiritual things are the opposite, believe first then it becomes a reality, you get your evidence. I wish I could tell you more, but more importantly I wish you would experience it for yoirself. I'm particularly curious about you because I think just like me, you just might have a very crucial purpose to fulfill for God. Only God can reveal our true purpose, only the Creator knows why he created the creation. Please if you want to keep doubting you will keep having excuses, just attempt give it a shot, I mean what's the worst that could happen? Peace and Grace be to you in Jesus name. |
RussianKGB:With all the iintelligence, nventions and technological advancement and wealth, have your problems been solved? Trust me, you can't afford to stay carnal. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor. 10:3-5). |
ScienceWatch:Amen. Please don't stop praying for me, and for the Body of Christ. Always include these prayers as you pray daily. The Lord's Prayer, The Grace and also pray that God provides worthy labourers for the harvest is full. And may you receive the grace to be among the worthy labourers for the establishment of God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, in Jesus name. Amen. |
