Op, read this:

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:1, NASB


Today, I want to talk about how you can have a victorious thought life. My friend, the solution to temptations, sinful desires and thoughts is found in the very first verse of Romans 8: “Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (By the way, some Bible translations, like the New King James Version, go on to say “who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” This was added by the later Bible translators. In the oldest manuscripts of the New Testament available today, the Greek simply states, “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”)

You may experience temptations and sinful thoughts from time to time, but right in the midst of that temptation, you need to know this: There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Notice that this verse is in the present tense. Right now, even if at this very moment, sinful thoughts are going through your mind, there is no condemnation because you are IN CHRIST JESUS! Are we then to sit still and entertain those sinful thoughts? Of course not.

Sin cannot take root in a person who is full of the consciousness that he is righteous in Christ. You cannot stop birds from flying over your head, but you can certainly stop a bird from building a nest on your head. In the same way, you cannot stop temptations, sinful thoughts and desires from passing through your mind, but you can certainly stop yourself from acting on these temptations, sinful thoughts and desires. How? By confessing at the very moment of temptation that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!

The power of Jesus to overcome every temptation kicks in when you remain conscious that even at the point of temptation, Jesus is still with you and that you are righteous in Him apart from your works (Romans 4:6)! When you do that, you reject the condemnation for the temptation that you faced. You now have the power of Christ to rise above your temptation and to rest in your righteous identity in Christ apart from your works. That, beloved, is the overcoming life in Christ!

Sin cannot take root in a person who is full of the consciousness that he is righteous in Christ.

Nothing wey musa never see for gate.

Talk wetin you wan talk abeg.

Na so. U go wait tire. It's an issue only very mature and deep people would understand.

toye440:
Hehen Ur head correct abeg, have u forgotten Timaya's got a child? pls did ozo go to bbn single? haba he got there, and finds someone more appealling than what he has, and u and i both know in most cases they dont last.

Is Timaya hitched in his current condition.

No let me vex

My. Main guy broke out last year. Team Chevron. He's single. No go spoil market for me like this abeg. Very calm. Nice guy. If there's one, there's more

MisterKennedy:
yes sir

If I say what it is here they will bash me saying it's a lie. So. I'll let you be.


You dey dry up abi. And not seeing food you eat reflect in your body

toye440:
Lol, I sense my assertion offends u and i apologise, but one thing we can both agree on is the truth is bitter.
The above mentioned name are handsome and financially bouyant, but the question is are they free? pls dont believe what they tell u those guys have someone in their life they just choose to protect them by keeping them away from the media.

Offends me ke. What's my own. Why was Ozo chasing Nengi na

Abi is Timaya not successful.? Can you qualify him as hitched?

Worm isn't the thing but actual snake movements that can be sudden sometimes in different parts of your body abi. Is this the situation?

toye440:
U know the thing with being too experienced and ppl just dim u smart alec but in reality u speak what it would take some decades to unravel. Trust me i know that much.

Answer na. Is Ozo not fine looking. Lekan. Jo. Don Jazzy.


Have you met all men in their 30s to confirm they are all single because they are low income earners? Mehn. Stop being overly judgemental. I have successful males and females who are single.

toye440:
Trust me the guys u mentioned are taken on the basis of competition, they only lady don jazzy spoke about as they said was linda ikeji. There are so many girls hunting for don jazzy with their fake love.
Now over to ur guys, trust me most husband materials earn low income, no guy wey hold bar go lack babe. 9ja Babes will surely introduce herself if u get bar. I hope u r aware a lady hunting 4 don jazzy's love; money in play here.
Trust no successful guy is free, all those u mentioned are maybe scared of marriage commitment but they hv a secrete lover.

Na wa o. The way you guys judge. What about guys who didn't break out on time financially?

On the basis of competition Ozo was begging Nengi, Tolanibaj and Dorothy were dreaming about another entity.

Where did you get your data that all successful guys are all taken. Where? Yourself and yemmit90 boldly made such claims. And it's demarketing mehn and painting them bad before ladies. Let's be less absolute when communicating information across plz

I know one who got a job for example in Chevron last year and I was the one pushing marriage to him. How about guys like that?


Many men in 30s are still single. And it has nothing to do with low income but rather other concerns like compatibility issues. Learn to be less absolute in your truth abeg

toye440:
Marriage and 9ja babes wahala after marriage.

Then why did you then write that every guys I'm 30s that's handsome and a little settled is married. You're spoiling men before women especially men in that age bracket. I have friends in that age bracket that are seeking partners for marriage.

Donjazzy12:
There is big difference between peace and peace of the graveyard! Don't forget that the graveyard is the most peaceful place on Earth. But that's exactly where nobody wants to be.

I worry about what others do, If not I won't comment If I hear any bad new or good news in other places. It is called responsibility. It also my right to observe. Right now homosexuality is a crime in Nigeria and beyond that, I don't know any Major religion that endorses it.

It is this type of nonchalance and negligence that is responsible for the very thriving underground lesbians and homosexuals movement in Nigeria.

People gloss over it.

Hahahahahahahahaha you will lose your peace. Why worry about people who have absolutely nothing to do with you.


My dear I don't know your past experiences and yes sexually immorality is at all time high. But allow me win you over, stop worrying over it so you don't lose your peace abeg you.

toye440:
First U cant be on thesame ship with Jonah and expect journey mercies, bae the truth is he took advantage of ur desperation and weakness for ever thinking u will find that man in ur dreams, we all do but the truth is perfect pple only exist in our dreams.
Pls know this, no successful handsome guy is available, they are all taken. But ask urself if marrying a muslim would work for u as over time u must convert which is not my problem, but his religion permits 4 can u share?
Love they say is blind but marriage na eye opener. I believe u have learnt a lesson, wear it round ur neck like a necklace. Adios Sis

If all handsome guys are all taken, please educate me why these guys were single till recently

Donjazzy12:
Read between the lines. God created man and woman, we ( smart Alec's) removed absolutism, now we have transgender! Now your gender is whatever you fancy at any given time!

Search for clues!

Sorry. I learnt the path of peace long time ago. Which is to other worry about what a woman does with her vagina. Even if I'm being lied to, it's fairly okay than to lose my. Mental peace over warrantless worry. Na my own way to reason woman matter be that o

Donjazzy12:
I am not judging, I am merely stating facts! You read between the lines to understand. I had a job that brought me into a world of contact with lesbians! THEY ARE HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT!

Nothing suggests lesbianism


If you want to make a better problem solver and critical thinker, strive to avoid " absolutionism ", you're too absolute. This will get you into trouble. Things will not always fit into your narrative

Donjazzy12:
She asked if you were into women? As if that is not a red flag, you ladies still exchanged numbers!

The good man warned you about his colleague leading you into a bad life but you were not paying attention to that, you were more interested in his female colleague attention,so much you collected her number.

This story get as ebee. The man should be thanking his stars for deliverance. God just delivered him from a coded lesbian- YOU!

Please focus on your lesbianism. I asked you a very simple question if it was a married Lesbian that sucked your pussy would you break up and come to Nairaland to trash talk her?

I don't know why you lesbians hate men so much. What did your father do to you that of all things you chose lesbianism?
Thanks you for helping expose the underground lesbian movement in Nigeria.

The absolution of your statements are atypical of one that quickly makes judgements without thorough evaluation of facts.



You're too assuming, too negative and too judgemental. The world would not fit into your narrative you know?



Be careful with how you judge!

Thattallgirl:
I know right!

Go at is however an exception. That smell of roasted goat. Oh my gosh

Thattallgirl:
Wow so you've never killed one?

Never. Besides that got an allergy for the odour. The only time chicken smells nice is after its prepared for consumption

Thattallgirl:
What if you were given a choice to either kill it or no chicken for u?

I raise chickens. I still do. I develop strong affection for animals I raise making me unable to hurt them. For thus reason, I can't kill an animal. Infact if I must eat an animal, I must be involved in its preparation process. I became this way since as a kid while rearing chickens

Thattallgirl:

Well, I try as much as staying away from where it's been killed to not spoil the deliciousness I'm my mind

Hypocrite

Thattallgirl:
I feel a bit emotional when I see a chicken getting killed beside me even though I didn't raise it...but they're delicious it's best to just remove your mind from it

Hahahahahahahahaha I had a loud long laugh.

I don't see any problems with the qualities the OP listed out that he's looking for


What do you think Thattallgirl?

An interesting question we like Thattallgirl to air her views

TruthSeeker1:
Going by a few details you revealed in the narration, the following are my observations:
*I think you fell in love (or perhaps, got infatuated) with the guy too easily/quickly and also showed the love too innocently. (Please note that there is some advantage/benefit in a girl playing too hard to get. So many guys out there are only interested in chopping and going. The urge for sex (usually very strong) is mainly what most guys consciously or subconsciously seek to satisfy when they go into relationships (don't blame us for this; blame nature).
*Your love or infatuation for the guy probably prevented you from taking some red flags/warnings seriously or even made you ignore them altogether.
*The guy truly loved you and cared about you. Seeing that you are a good girl (and the guy most likely being reasonably good himself), he couldn't keep hiding his marital status from you anymore (because of guilty conscience). He took a risk by confessing the truth; he had hoped that you will not leave him because of such truth (probably based on his perception of your love for him). However, I doubt if he really planned to marry you. He just liked you a lot and wanted the relationship to continue while keeping his conscience clear.

My advice for you concerning your future relationship(s) would be this: Do your best to ascertain that any guy you are involved with is who/what he claims to be in ALL areas. Love is good, but do not allow it to hinder you from finding out every truth/fact that matters about your partner so as to prevent avoidable regrets.

Gbam. He took the risk to see if she'll play along and continue in an undefined relationship. That's yet another game itself

Thanks Chocolate, lolzzz. I am pisces and I am very trusting. My friend fears for me, she would talk and talk...I will just be laughing

Persecutors are generally ignorance-driven people. Another ignorance will drive them even if you serve them you head with hot pepper soup.

And when it's global. Governance you'll be typing these juvenile things


I'll let you be in peace. God bless you

AududuNine11:
Kindly watch this movie series, titled: Glorious Church.

You will weep for the Church

My. Dear I have 20 years secret information on inside activities already. I'm just too-Christ-like to mistake as some people do. What can unstable nations is in my bosom but I maintain discreetness


This is an absolute anomaly. If global persecution starts now we will all be in concentration camps


And some of these people showing off have thousands of followers with minor andegitinate needs that they'll never allow them access to resources



What society need of institutions is public display of genuine humanitarian activities and not insane attitude. I'm passed. Damn

CodeTemplar:
Why haven't govt of all made the budget for defence secret to discourage thieving politicians and army officers?
We are talking about capital expenditure and not some kind of kind of yearly or recurrent expenditures.
King Solomon built an expensive temple openly.
All over the scriptures there was transparency in church dealings. There is nothing to fear for here. They will still persecute irrespective of the details.

When persecution starts, it's me and you that would be in labor camps or at the threat of death

CodeTemplar:
There is no way he is going to ask people to give without the details of the total target being revealed. They could have multiplied the cost of the church by the number of churches to be planted and arrived at that figure. The ministry has jets and anyone can pose as a potential buyer to ask about the cost of those jets. Same too goes for church branches and staff strength. How much are we spending to deal with the 'peace' the other constitutional religion is generating up north. Go check defence budget between 1999 and 2020 and see what we spend on defence yearly. There is no NEDC or NGO funds there yet o. 2 Trillion may be big for a lump sum but the details doesn't make it so big.

Please and please


Did you ever see churches in 200 years of church history behave after such way and manner.


Methodists

Anglican

Catholic


Do not behave in this manner. Even when Catholic publish figures it's towards humanitarian needs

Since when does anyone asks this people for information. Keep supporting nonsense there. Meanwhile many workers are crying over PENSION CRISIS in thier organisation they kept silent. Why not comment over that?

Why not upgrade the salaries of workers so they have better living conditions


Let me hear word abeg. This is disgusting news my stomach is even turning


Let me hear word abeg. I will tell you the history of the church the past 1000 years and let you know this is strange behavior



Quote churches in the past 1000 years that has behaved this way.

Now when young ministers pick this up and everyone is behaving badly we blame young and new ministers. Some go to the ocean for power. Some go to extreme length. Because certain persons are painting a false narrative



Did Paul not say that the rich be sober and not behave highly minded?



Go to Revelation the last closing chapters when the serpent saw there that it couldn't attack in this literal sense persons in place of high in sense financial resources, it goes after the weak ones. Same way when the Amble Kites were going to attack Moses they went for the slow Israeli test at the back



Some people need to be called to order in the kingdom

HigherEd:
Exactly...

The church isn't invincible and can be severely hurt by a sharp sway in public opinion.

Many of the privileges the church enjoys today is because of the selfless goodwill sacrifice laid by early missioranies. That goodwill shouldn't be eroded by meaningless braggadocio...

Exactly my point. If we try to correct them they will say why should younger ministers hear from the Lord and all what nots. I know what's pushing them but have decided to not talk. The day they push too much I've said it there are secrets things we all will burst in the open


I'm so very annoyed by this. I need to log off abeg. I hardly get angry. But this has gotten me in ways I dislike

CodeTemplar:
Taxation doesn't work that way. Though Nigeria is a jungle where laws are largely reflective of sentiments. You don't tax people at the point of earning, tax the manufacturers of goods they purchase and then try to tax them again at the point of spending or exchange of earnings for goods and services. It is a flawed taxed system. Neither is contributions taxable.

It's not Christian practice to behave in this manner. There have been Christian organizations for hundreds of years. They don't behave after this manner.



Mind you, I've travelled to over 5u rural communities I knew a few where some of these churches have presence and the rural don't attend them. Why? I won't talk



Let's stop show off and pursue the pure love of God with all our hearts and tone down on our own selfish motives
