Rilwayne001: QUESTION THREEwill you think for God or act on His behalf? It pleases Him to use the foolish thing to confound the wise... because of hardness of hearts and disregard for God He had left some people to struggle with confusion for life. Whether Elias has come or not God has intervened and prevailed with His New Covenant for the world... Christ‘s coming and the New Testament is the final and nothing else except deception. Whatever Christ says is the final. If he had said Elias had come ... that is the final o |
Rilwayne001: QUESTION 2Many are the prophets in the Bible that God raised to the status of Moses and even above ... in leadership... prophecy and fulfillment of prophecies among whom Mohammed has no place or relationship... After Moses were Joshua, David, Elisah, Elijah, Daniel, Ezeikiel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah, Nahum, Zachariah and many others who were not in the status of Mohammed - whose coming and work wasn't implied at all in the Bible. |
Rilwayne001: QUESTION 1The one sent to notify people concerning the coming of the SAVIOR. The one whose message is to call people to repentance and to prepare the way of the Lord. ---- the one that testified to the supremacy and divinity of Christ.----- J |
saintikechi: Osun/APC/election/bomb blast........hahaha ... politicians, I beg, don't scatter naija o. To all bombers delivering the message of Satan their master, nemesis will soon catch up with them on earth and if they escape that here... they are going to be roasted in hell till eternity. |
Osun ---- Southwest ke . Fear God oh... boko boy? abi. na taya that burst ni ... @ all be vigilant so that there wouldn't be loss of life as there was loss of data on NL ... watch and pray o... Osun pipu... I think Oduduwa will not allow. that sha... |
Rilwayne001: Sirescared or what? That you should show me where in the Bible Mohammed was confirmed a prophet which Christian can't agree with if such is not what the bible describes as unrighteous deception... 2 Thessalonians 2:8-10. May be this is the place that makes u so scared. |
true2god: Can you see the fascist orientation your allah is giving the followers of mohammed, to have a firm of hearth against anyone that doesnt believe in mohammed and be compassionate to themselves? Compare it with Jesus' own word in matthew 5:44, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.uhmnnnnnnnn............... whao! the eyes of God are following o o o . He will reward all ... those killing and those saving lives. |
Rilwayne001: malvisguy212show me biblical confirmation of Mohammed prophethood then I will follow you there. Hope to see your references soon. |
shaking! @ mintayo not for fear but for the fierce contest btw God and Satan to own souls of man... But I still console myself as millions are perishing on the faith they profess. GOOD SAYS NOT BY POWER, NOT BY STRENGTH BY HIS SPIRIT. PEOPLE ARE BEING SAVED AND MADE HIS OWN. That is the hope of those really serving God in this world that the devil is also struggling to win souls to his kingdom. |
tintingz: You are right brother but these non-muslims won't accept the fact that there are many people converting to Islam every year. CNN, Wikipedia and even Guinness book of record confirms it. Islam fastest growing religion.I dare not tag any religion as an exercise of terrorism - whether what a worshipper is doing is for God or Satan... Jesus replied, “By their fruits you shall know them. I would find it so difficult to know the kind of fruits a tree planted in an acidic soil will produce. just imagine o. |
Samunique: Pls I'm not here to compete religion with anybody.It is the truth indeed that sets someone free from bondage of sin. Being religious (not doing God‘s will) is indeed the bondage that devil has offered the world. something without any profit apart from satisfying the desire of the flesh. killing at least a person for other to fall or bow in a fake worship which seems to be done for God is not from God. God wants a person that has been saved to rise for salvation of others, not destruction of others. God‘s message is - look out for a sinner, preach to him for his possible conversion from doing evil to good and walking with God unto salvation. That is reason why Jesus illustrated the Farther‘s love for sinners with a shepherd that was seriously searching all places for a missing lamb out of the hundred. That shows how a single soul is so previous to God. EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THAT THE ENTRANCE OF THE WORD OF GOD “CHRIST“ SETS PEOPLE FREE, GIVES LIGHT AND DELIVER PEOPLE FROM THEIR DESTRUCTION. |
true2god: The parable of the Frog and the Scorpion:just as countries of the world need one and others to survive people also need the cooperation of one another of the same and different kinds to succeed if not there will always be problems. And problems can not be completely solved without digging into its root. |
tintingz: Please mention just two notable people that converted to Christianity and I will mention just 10 people to you that converted to Islam.for want of pleasure and not salvation... the list could go on endlessly... it is very hard for many to go thru the narrow way that leads to eternity but the broad way is for the masses of sorts of questionable xters. Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. |
people are perishing for lack of knowledge. those guys are agents of Satan. All what they do is evil. I wonder to which blood sucking god they shall fast with their minds and thoughts of evil. |
Today's topic: Requirements for Godly leaders. Being in the position of authority and directing the affairs of others requires competence specified by certain qualifications which are based on relevant training, experience and temperament. God has for years sought for people that will fill positions in His ministry. He is seeking for people to fill openings in His kingdom. As such He provides the requirements for those who are ready to occupy leadership positions and be entrusted with responsibilities. Such requirements are specified in the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 4:2 - It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. We have the followings for discussion: Standards for Pastoral Leaders, Standards for Lay leader and Standards for Affirming Leaders. Standards for Pastoral Leaders: Christians are called to minister and share the gospel, but not all are called to Church leadership, and not all are qualified for the positions. Leading and serving people of God is a privilege and a matter of serious commitment and great responsibility which should be tested and scrutinised according to biblical standards. A leader is accountable to God and others. Competence based on talent, charisma, education, communication skill among others are not adequate for a leadership role in the Church, leaders' lives should also agree with the guidelines established in the scriptures. Apostle Paul mentioned several qualifications for a minister in the Church. These include being righteous, caring, self-controlled, proven leaders and being reputable (1 Timothy 3: 2-7). A righteous minister is the one who should be blameless and without reproach - a leader that must be faithful and remain committed in marriage, that must be what he speaks. A caring leader must have the time to attend to the needs of others, love and give them comfort. A self-controlled leader should be the one that refrains from taking to alcohol, avoid greed and covetousness, eschew violence and rage. A proven leader is the one that has a track of good record. He that is matured and capable. A minister must be reputable, he must be acceptable in all good manners - he that cannot fall to greed, sexual immorality or gross doctrinal error. A leader that will not bring shame on the Church. Standards for a Lay Leader: Pastors are not the only leaders from whom rigorous standards are expected, deacons and others serving and meeting both physical and spiritual needs of others are saddled with serious responsibilities. All Christians that realize the needs to teach, preach, evangelize and lead others to God must meet His requirements. Church leaders requires the Holy Spirit for direction and enablement to understand, obey and follow the scriptures. Lay leaders are expected to be Role Models of a good steward and servant. They must be respectable, honest, sincere, people of integrity, who do not play with sin. People who are loving and Christlike, striving for good name and doing all that should be done to earn respect of others. They must be good examples of what Christians should be - very good examples for others to learn from, emulate and follow. Sometimes they can be found serving quietly and diligently in the Church without much notice on them. Standards for Affirming Leaders: Leaders are to be affirmed by good character and conduct. High standards must be placed on selection of leaders in the Church. Paul insisted that leaders are to be holy, just, sober and temperate (Titus 1:5-8 ) They are representatives of God, entrusted to do His work. God wants his people to be holy and just. As citizens of God's kingdom and children adopted to His family Christians are to reflect God's value, not culture or tradition of people. We must copy and act according to God's standards and characters. Our lives must be suitable for Holy Spirit to live in us. Leaders must be true to the Word of God. They must be the people of the Word (Titus 1:9). They must zealously defend the gospel against forces seeking to dismiss, misuse, distort and pervert it. The gospel must be taught according to the scriptures. It must not be compromised or altered in any form. Leaders must preserve God's word. God's Word encourages and leads believers unto righteousness. Also, God's Word serves as warning against disobedience to His commands and following the unrighteous deception of Satan. May God help us. Lesson text: Act 6: 1-6; 1 Timothy 3: 1-16; Titus 1:1-16 |
Last week lesson Treasuring the Truth in Turbulent times. This lesson is about knowing and keeping the truth according to the scripture. It discusses the knowledge of God's truth we should be armed with as Christians. What is the truth? The Roman Governor - Pilate asked Jesus before he was released to be crucified. But Jesus had earlier declared that he was the truth (John 18:37&38). Also, Jesus had stated convincingly that he is the truth. He said, "I am the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6). 1 Timothy 4:16 - Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine: continue in them: for in doing this thou shall both save thyself, and them that hear thee. We have the followings for discussion: Reject False Teaching, Perpetuate the Truth and Set a good example. Reject False Teachings: False teachings aim to entangle erring believers in the snare of doctrinal error in order to make them abandon the truth of the gospel so that they would follow lies that pervert faith and lead people astray. Some people are walking away from the truth because their hearts are hardened and can no longer keep their relationships with God. They have rejected God's correction and could no longer respond to His call for obedience. Continuing in this way makes it difficult to hear from God and enjoy the leading of His Spirit. When people refused to be led by God's truth they will be free for lies and manipulations of Satan. False teachers and false teachings will definitely arise but what matters is how we respond as Christians. Knowing what to do has to do with how closer to God ( thru obedience, prayer, Bible study and fellowship with other believers) we are. Some false teachers are distorting the gospel thus making people to follow rules not prescribed by Jesus and the Apostles (1 Timothy 4: 3-5). Such rules forbids marrying and eating certain foods. Such restrictions are based on their beliefs that all physical matters are inherently evil. Those restrictions are against the scriptures and do not draw us closer to God (1 Corinthians 7:28; 8:8; Colossians 2: 20-23). Salvation is made available by God's grace through obedience to God command. There is striking difference between obedience to God and following list of human regulations. Human regulations could be burdensome but obedience to God' commands leads to blessings. False teachings leads to bondage but grace gives the freedom to live for God and experience His best for our lives. Perpetuate the Truth: We should grow in godliness in order to be Christians that can promote sound doctrine (1 Timothy 4: 6-8 ). As recipients of God's grace we have the responsibility to share the truth that has brought us to Christ's saving knowledge. Paul encouraged Timothy to remain focused in the faith and train himself in godly living. The training is compared to physical exercise that promotes fitness of an athlete for success in a race. Likewise the spiritual exercise promotes eternal values for us to be in Christ and preserve our souls for eternal glory. Godliness is achieved as we strive to live for God and serve Him with all our hearts. We must invite Holy Spirit to live in us and prepare us for eternal values through sanctification. We are commanded to teach the gospel. Just as Paul was commissioned and inspired to teach God message we are to do what the Bible wants for the world: teach and preach God's will (Timothy 4:9-11). The Bible is not based on myths or fantasies. It is reliable, trustworthy and worthy of attention of all. It is God's word. It makes connection with God possible and provides the way to eternity. It is about Christ's death and resurrection which makes salvation available to mankind. Set a Good Example: Paul spoke of how to be a good example of the believers ((1 Timothy 4:12), good Christian must be a man of compassion and integrity who is effective in the ministry. He warned against the pitfalls of seeking to please man (esp by delivering the good will messages for popularity) rather than God in the ministry. Christians are encouraged to respond in good faith to Criticisms. We should check the various ways we are guilty of allegations and open our lives to God for corrections in all areas we are not like Christ instead of responding just anyhow. Christians are to persevere in holiness and follow Paul's encouragement to Timothy (Timothy 4: 13-16). We are encouraged to be devoted to reading and preaching, and guard the gospel against all attempts to deny,change or pervert it. Paul also instructed Timothy to keep fellowship with God and reminded him not to be content to live in the past. Christians need a fresh touch of God's anointing and renewal of strength. We can receive this when we set time apart to hear from God, meditate in His word daily and allow Him to renew us from inside out. May God help us. Lesson text: 1 Timothy 4:1-16. |
There has been serious data loss. There has been loss of some vital information from the thread. Hope such will not happen again |
Rilwayne001: Within the multitude of religions that exist in the world today are three which consider themselves tocbe monotheistic--that is, faiths in which belief is centered around the One God.you miss it here. No thanks to the data loss, you could have learnt, understood and known how to get along with Christian faith from various insights into the Bible so that you might understand what TRINITY means. Of what benefit is rejecting the great grace? |
Taeewo: #2,000 per click is okhahaha. even seun doesn't make it that way. that is ga ju! |
None among the listed. |
Just asking since everyone suffered the loss and it is likely to take some times for some people to recover. The data loss was disturbing indeed. How to back up and guard against similar occurrence in the future? what is the step forward? |
Why? 90% of politicians rejected in one party are now being celebrated and exhorted as heroes in another party! |
From the three names, where are the founding fathers of APC and what will be their stake? I had thought Fasola would make the list with a Northern Vice P. Abi the OP is playing our intelligence? |
brownlord: Because Jonathan is the president, to them power belongs to the north and not the people, its not going to stop soon except Jonathan surrender power to them. If you think am lying please go read the statement of kwakwaso, he says the president is incompetent, you see hate and bitterness written all over just because they are not in position, Weather APC or Northerners insist on power to return to the North without allowing Jona, contest 2015 then we go our seperate ways, I still do not know the reason this people think its their time to rule, they have ruled this nation over 30 years and just first a southerner is ruling they can't tolerate him, we need to go our separate waysYeah, our eyes are open to the dangerous politics being played by the North. Why they are with the current president they are the most beneficiaries, now they have broken away to still come together to get everything. Many people are not pleased with their disposition. Though truth is bitter, it must be told. |
lastpage: This present generation of Nigerians are not only stewpid, but come VERY CHEAP!Why worrying yourself and hurting your heart? You could do better if you stand at the middle and look from inside out to access things and do justice. Where your leaders get it right praise them to do better and achieve more, but where they are not forthcoming criticise them until they respond to doing the correct thing. It is doing like this that is normal. I wouldn't know why development on the road doesn't please you. People that wants progress should live as good citizens. |
Praying that these heartless people stop their evils as soon as possible and peace a and normalcy return to the part of the North. These people should have been done of self-inflicted destruction. For what reason they have continued and gone so far with killing and destruction of innocent souls? Enough of shedding of innocent blood over there. |
GOOD DEVELOPMENT... THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS PAID ITS OWN PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION COST OF THE ROAD. HOPE THE 10 LANE ROAD WILL SOON BE COMPLETED AND BRING RELEIVE TO ALL USERS. I WISH TO APPEAL TO THE FG TO SPEED UP CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION OF IBADAN/ILORIN DUAL CARRIAGE ROAD. KUDO TO THE FG. GEJ IS TRYING HIS BEST OH |
@ gexyl |
Naijamericana: Can you ask the prophets when Naija will get consistent electricity?I prophesy electricity will be stable this yr, Be praying that God will stop the saboteurs. |
Mr Aboki: If you ever speak about Prophet Muhammed (SAW) or Allah again...meaning... more people are knowing you by your fruit and they will definitely place you where you belong ... you are talking about killing when people are taking time to discuss matters from inside out. you are telling them that you have reserved a permanent place for yourself in the darkness which people should not attempt to talk about... Or what do you mean? |
Omooba77: Lara Wise :Dear Fasting Christian, Omooba77: Lara Wise: It has begun.Many Churches and Christians are currently united in spirit for prayer and fasting, definetly in the end there will be a powerful shaking and something will move supernaturally. |
luluosas: My dear friend, don't let their attitudes offset you at all. They know themselves of whom the bible spoke about. Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.Romans 1:28 further says something about them - these people rejecting God and His knowledge. |
