Nairaland / General / Make The Vision Plain by Seyibabalola(m): 4:57am On Dec 30, 2015
MAKE IT PLAIN





The Lord told Habakkuk to write the vision and make it plain on the tables, that he that readeth it may run. What are the tables to write your vision on? The first table is your heart. In the Old Testament, the laws were written on tables of stone. But in this New Testament, God says that He will put his laws into our minds and write them on the fleshy tables of our hearts-Hebrew 8:10. The laws represent God's word. And Vision is a revelation of God's word for a man. So, you are to make the vision plain in your heart. What this means is that you should understand the vision you have seen very well. This is so important, because out of the abundance of the heart are the issues of life, says the Bible. It is what you perceive in your heart that produces what you do. If you have a wrong understanding of the vision you have seen, you will be doing what you are not sent to do. The aftermath is absence of divine provisions and God's backing.

The second table is your mouth confession. Write the vision on your mouth confession. Bible says with the heart man believes unto righteousness, but with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Bible also says that "the word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith,.."Romans 10:8. After seeing, understanding and believing the Vision, the next thing is to confess it. As you are confessing it with your mouth, you are writing it to God for manifestation, because your world will be created by the word, so that the things which are seen are not made by things which do appear-Heb. 11:2. How many times do you write your vision to God in prayers? I mean how many times do you confess the vision you have seen? God says, "give me your strong reasons" Isaiah 41:21. Your reasons that you should be a blessed man, a wealthy and international business man or a powerful healing minister or a President of your country is the Vision God showed you. And how to give this strong reason is to say it to God, telling him what he showed you which must come to pass, because He cannot lie. Whatsoever He says, He does. That is writing your vision on the table of mouth confession.

If you don't write the vision on these two tables mentioned above, the vision will not speak, it will not manifest. It is a principle. God gave this principle to Prophet Habakkuk. What happens when you write the vision? Bible says he who reads it may run. This means he who sees you will see the vision and he may be drawn to God in you. Jesus said, if i be lifted up on the cross, i will draw all men unto me. The vision was being lifted up on the cross for the perfect salvation of man.

MAKE THE VISION PLAIN IN YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR MOUTH CONFESSION THAT he that sees you may run to God, Habakkuk 2:2. You are the Vision you saw, understood and confess, and people are reading you. 2 Corinthians 3:3: "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart". SHALOM!
Nairaland / General / The First Miracle by Seyibabalola(m): 4:48am On Dec 30, 2015
THE FIRST MIRACLE ....This's A Must Read



God does nothing that has no significance. Every event in the Bible has revelational significance. Like wise, every act of Jesus in the Bible has meaning. Let's look at the first miracle Jesus did on earth. This was the turning of water to wine at the marriage event at Cana of Galilee-John 2:1-11.

The Bible says the marriage feast ran out of wine. Then Mary the mother of Jesus came to Jesus to inform him about this challenge. She did know that Jesus had the power to provide a solution. Wine was finished, guests yet to be served are waiting, the ruler of the feast, the bride and the bridegroom are on the verge of being put to shame. Something urgent must be done to get a new wine supply. I speak to you reading this message: Which wine have you been used to that you think that's all you need for a living? If it's not the new wine supplied by Jesus, you are no where. Bible says, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit"-Ephesians 5:18. The Holy Spirit made me understand that the word wine there is not only referring to the liquid drink, but it's about the things of the world. Be not drunk with the worldly things.

Jesus told the servants (who have been brought by Mary to do whatsoever he says) to fill the six water pots of stone with water. And then the water pots were filled to the brim. And the water were miraculously turned to wine.

The water represents the word of God: Ephesians 5:25-26 says, "...even as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water, by the word.". The wine represents the Holy Spirit(read Eph.5:18, Mathew 9:16-17) We are the water pots. The first miracle for man is the New Birth. He must be born of the water and of the Spirit. Scripture says, "except a man be born of the water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God"-John 3:5.

Don't forget, the water pots were not just filled with water, but were filled to the brim. Note the word 'BRIM'. This means that for a man to live the kingdom life and fulfill his PURPOSE , he must be filled with the word of God to the level of prevailing. You must be full with God's word, ready to burst out life to your world. Bible says "So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed"-Acts 19:20.

How the water in the water pots were turned into wine was a miracle. The Bible also represented this well when it says that how a man is born of the Spirit is not detectable by anyone: John 3:8 "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit"

And after the water in the water pots were turned into wine, Jesus said "Draw out now,..." You are to draw out the life of God in you to your world. After the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the next thing to do is to be a witness unto Him both in Jerusalem and Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the utter most part of the earth. You have to draw out. The world is waiting for your manifestation. The world is thirsty of the new wine. Would you heed the call to be used by Jesus to meet a need in your world? Come to Jesus in the marriage feast in Cana and be filled with Water the word of God and the Wine the Holy Spirit. Remain blessed

Seelurd:
Did God knows i will sin when he was putting me there? If yes. Why did he put me there.

Did God knows if i not repent my sin. If yes why did he put me there?

You are a sinner from the womb of your mother already, because you were born with a sinful nature. You came with sinful blood, the human blood. That's why you will see a baby biting his mother's breast nipple in a wicked way. Who taught him to do that? Nobody taught him. It's natural with the human (sinful) nature So, it's not that you would just start sinning after you have come into the world and you grew up. You were born into sin, you were born into a sinful nature. That's why God sent Jesus into the world to deliver us from the power of sin and give us eternal life. But it's now your responsibility to accept Jesus into your life, so that you won't end up in Hell fire.

"Did God knows if i not repent my sin. If yes
why did he put me there?" My answer to that question is this: God gives man the will power to choose and live any kind of life he wants. You have to take note of that. He does not force anyone to obey him. Man has the will power to make choices in life, but no one has the will power to choose the implications of his choice. So it is not a matter of whether he knew you would not repent or not. He would not have created you, if he knew you wouldn't have the power to repent. You have the power to repent, but what do you do with the power?. That's the issue. Without Jesus Christ, God knew everyone would not repent. He knew you would not repent, that's why He gave us Christ. The power to repent is JESUS CHRIST.

HUSBAND SCARCITY!!! by Habiba Bashir
This may not be the best time for me to write
on this because of misinterpretations, but I
can no longer resist the push. "Husband
Scarcity" has become one of the challenges
faced by many young girls today. If you go to
prayer houses, majority of the intentions are
prayer for a life partner. And this calls for
concern. Casting our minds back to the time
of our mothers and grandmothers, was there
really much of a "Husband Scarcity" problem?
Or, maybe there were more men than women
then, or there was an adequate corresponding
numbers of both genders. I don't think so.
Maybe then, the women had values and were
prepared to build a home and not park into a
built home. Then, once a young man comes of
age and can at least feed himself and his wife,
he goes out in search of a wife and the
woman really appreciates him and helps him
to build a future. What am I really trying to
say? We created what we now see as
"Husband Scarcity" for ourselves. Today, the
reverse is the case. Ask an average girl to
define her dream husband; you get things like
"he has to be tall, handsome, fair, and rich,
own a house at least, and be presentable" and
then she adds "God fearing" in order not to
sound so worldly. Then, check the number of
girls around you and the number of men that
meet that standard, and you will see the
problem. You hear girls say, "I cannot suffer in
my father's house and then go and start
suffering with a man." What a wonderful
dream! What if from the beginning, you have
everything you want and there is no suffering,
and later in the marriage, the table turns
around, then comes suffering? Will you run
away? No one prays for suffering, but it is
good to start small and end big, than start
big and end small. The problem is that the
description majority of girls give of their ideal
man is virtually the same. When 50 girls want
the same kind of man and the man that fits
what they want is just 1 man, and the man
can only pick one. Then, what becomes of 49
others? They simply start lamenting of
"Husband Scarcity". Another irony of our time
is that it is hard, due to the face of our
economy to find a man who is of marriage age
who possesses all those things these ladies
want, legally (except those involved in Internet
fraud); even the number of those in Internet
fraud is not enough to match all those
searching for already made husbands. If you
look around, majority of the ladies of
substance, of good value and virtue, who are
ready to build a home with a man who has
prospects, are married and not complaining of
husband scarcity. The easiest way to find a
husband now, is to change your view of who a
husband is. A husband is that man God made
and then saw that it may be hard for him to
really actualize his purpose for making him,
without a help mate and then made the
woman and gave to him, and he felt complete
and fulfilled. MARRIAGE IS NOT A POVERTY
ALLEVIATION PROGRAM. It is a mission of
building the family of God here on earth. For
those who see marriage as a way out of
poverty, it is a way into bondage. Women are
HOME BUILDERS, not HOME WARMERS...
DON'T CONFUSE A MAN'S PATH WITH HIS
DESTINY. Where he is today, may only be a
route to where God has destined him to be
tomorrow. Another truth is that YOU MAY BE
THE ONLY FAST MEANS TO THAT HIS
DESTINATION. Join in alleviating "husband
scarcity". PICK UP THE RIGHT VALUES. I am
not saying that you should pick anyone that
comes your way and talks of marriage, not all
men are husband materials. What I am saying
is that you should stop setting your standard
on material acquisitions or physical
appearances. Look beyond the physical.
WHAT MAKES A MAN WHO HE IS, IS NOT
WHAT HE OWNS OR HOW HE LOOKS, IT IS
WHAT HE IS MADE UP OF. And that which he
is made of is, most times, not seen with the
physical eyes, only its effects can be seen.
Marriage is a permanent thing. Whatever is
seen is temporal and that which is not seen is
permanent. Relax and go to God in prayer.
God did not just make Eve for making sake;
He made her for Adam's need to be

Someone who claim to know everything about me should sure know that i am gonna sin on earth and end up in hell fire.

Why then will he permit that to hapn by given me life as a baby?!

Yes God knows your weaknesses as a Human being. He knew you would be susceptible to sin, because you are coming into a world dominated by the Devil. In fact, from the womb you are born with sin, you came into the world with a sinful nature. So it is not a new thing. That was why He gave you and I His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. God sent Jesus so that He could deliver us from the power of sin and give us eternal life. It is now our responsibility to accept Jesus into our lives, so that we won't end up in HELL FIRE.

Now, if i say your god(if he exist) is wicked, you will say i'm crazy.

How will someone who claimed to know the beginning and the end give life to babies who might eventually end up in hell fire?

WAKE UP XTIANS!!!


God knows the beginning and the end. Before he creates a baby, he knows the end of the baby, in the sense that He has already planned a good end for him or her. He knows the end he has for the person. But if the baby now ends up in Hell fire, it is not God's fault. It is rather the fault of the person, because the person did not live his life right, he did not follow the instructions of God that will take him or her or help him or her to end up in the good and glorious future (end) that God had planned. Our God is not a wicked God, but He is a God of principles. If you follow his principles and do his words, you won't end up in Hell fire. Note that at the last paragraph of my message, I said it is ONLY SIN that will not make someone to attain the glorious future planned by God.

You re trying to write your own version.

Thereby translating it to suit you.

How can you dissect a verse like that. Its self explanatory

I can see you lack spiritual understanding of God's word. Spiritual things are understood by spiritual minds. I advice you that you should engage the Holy Spirit in your study of God's word. Don't read, but study and get revelation in what you study. Perhaps you need the baptism of the Holy Spirit, because without the Holy Spirit, you will be interpreting spiritual things with carnal mind. May the Lord help you.

Nairaland / General / Causes Of Loneliness by Seyibabalola(m): 12:50pm On Dec 28, 2015
CAUSES OF LONELINESS: I guess it's because of lack of friends who really care about you, who share the same minds with you and have some values that can add to you, rather than reducing you. If one has such friends, one will not feel insecure to visit them or chat up with them and kill off the loneliness, and they too will not feel lazy or insecure or selfish to chat up with one or visit one when it's right to do so. A true Christian who cannot find a true Christian like him to make friend will be forced or tempted to be in wrong companies or go where he is not supposed to go or engage in immoral sexual activities to kill off the loneliness. At times, you withdraw from chating up with certain people, because they too don't do same. They always expect you to chat up first, and then you fall back on loneliness.
Religion / Don't Haste Into Ministry by Seyibabalola(m): 11:47am On Dec 28, 2015
Cleaning Up for the Call
....A Must Read


There is a Cleaning Up for the Call into Ministry. I mean a process of separation and sanctification before God calls a man into his PURPOSE. Yours might be a healing ministry, and it might be a word ministry. But it's not too good that we have people who haste for the bread without the bake. The bread is made complete in the bake, where it passes through 'fire', shut out of the outside world, getting it's shape in a dark and hot conditions. And when it's done, it comes out ready for consumption by everyone. What am i saying? Many people haste into ministry without a Cleaning Up. Consequently such ministry soon crash in no time. Besides, it must have been run below the set standard by God.

I took a thorough study of men whom God called and used in the Bible. These include David, Abraham, Paul, and Peter. I saw how they were cleaned up, before they were called into their ministries. Now let's go to Abraham's case: Genesis 12:1: "Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:" Getting out his country, in the spiritual realm, takes the place of a man leaving the kingdom of the devil and coming into the kingdom of Christ, in other words, getting born again. That's the first process of Cleaning Up. Now God told him to also leave his father's house and his people. I can remember the words of Jesus that whoever cannot leave his father, mother, brother, sisters, and friends and take up his cross cannot be His disciple-Luke 14:25-33

Now on Paul: Paul had his Cleaning Up for the Call. The Bible says Paul was blind and did not eat or drink for 3 days in the house of Judas in Damascus, after he had an encounter with the Lord when he was going to arrest the believers in Damascus. During these 3 days he was praying. And after then, God told Ananias to go and heal him and baptize him with the Holy Spirit for the Call into his ministry. Check Acts 9:1-20.

David too had his Cleaning Up for the Call. This took place in the wilderness where he was keeping his father's sheep. It was a time he was learning skills, discipline, faithfulness and humility. This was a process of Cleaning Up, before he was anointed and made a king. God wants to Clean Up your character before he uses you. Don't rush into ministry, don't rush into marriage, without cleaning up your character, cos you need character to remaine on the ladder of success

Peter had his Cleaning Up for the Call. In John 21:18-19 Jesus told Peter how he would die to flesh for the ministry before him. Jesus said when you are young, you could gird up yourself and go to anywhere you want. But when you are old, and weak in sight, you will stretch forth your hands for another man to dress you and take you to where you want to go and the man will even take you to where you don't want to go. This means when we are baby Christians, we are permitted to do some things. But when we grow up in the Lord, we are made by God to drop or deny some things to fulfill one calling or another. Denial of the flesh is another process of Cleaning Up.

You have a vision. You know you have a Calling. You want to manisfest. You long for the glory. Fine!, but you've got to pay the price. You've got to take up your cross. You've got to CLEAN UP. I mean seperate and sanctify your life from every weight, sin and anything that defiles the standard of God for the assignment, the ministry before you. Cleaning Up is a process of seperation and sanctification. SHALLOM!

4: Then the word of The Lord came unto me saying,

5: Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest fourth out of the womb I sanctified thee; and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

That's referring to Jeremiah

Not the entire populace



Don't get it twisted

The Bible says God is the Alfa and Omega. He knows the beginning and the end. He even knows the end from the beginning. So that scripture Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee, I knew thee" is applicable to everyone, not Jeremiah alone. the only thing not applicable to everyone is the calling to be a PROPHET. Or do u want to tell me that God did not know you before He formed you.

"Before I formed thee, I knew thee" ...A MUST READ





This is the word you need. This is the very proof of your destiny as sure, certain and valid: "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee"- Jeremiah 1:5. How many times have you come across this scripture and you missed the picture?. I mean you missed the revelational knowledge and the healing power inside.

God says in the scripture that He knew you before you were formed in the womb of your mother. What does this statement mean? What does it mean to know someone? Let's correct something here. We many times say that we know certain people, but we do not, until we get close to them and know their feelings, know what they are passing through, know why they do what they do and why they believe in what they believe. That is how to really know people.

If God says He knew you, before you were formed in your mother's womb, He is saying that He knew your weaknesses, He knew your strengths, He knew how you think, He knew what you think, and He knew your future. Now, today you look at yourself, and you begin to doubt God's word concerning your life. You look at the circumstances around you and you begin to magnify those circumstances above God's power and ability. You ask yourself, "Can i still make it like this?". Listen, God knew about all these weaknesses in your life, but He still formed you. He is the God who sees the end from the beginning. He still formed you in your mother's womb, because He knew all these weaknesses wouldn't matter. Jeremiah said to God, "Ah, Lord God! I cannot speak, for I am a child", but God still used him. Jeremiah just needed to obey, and he would not have problem. God will not take away that weakness in you, but He will give you His strength. Paul prayed 3 times that God should remove the thorn in his flesh. God did not remove it. God told him, "my grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in your weakness"-2 Cor. 12:7-9. And this is why you must depend only on GRACE, not any man or your own strength.

Moses was a stammerer, but God still used him. Gideon was born in a poor family and he was the least in his father's house, but he still fulfilled his glorious destiny. Peter had a problem of attitude, but God still used him. Abraham was in his 70s, but God still used him and Abraham achieved his bright future. David was the youngest child, he was a keeper of his father's sheep in the forest and he had been anointed by Samuel at the age of 17, but God still brought his promises concerning his life to pass 13 years later. Joseph was sold into slavery, put into prison, humiliated by bad circumstances around him, but the promises of God still came to pass at the end. If all these people had all these weaknesses and God still fulfilled His promises concerning their lives, your bright future will surely manifest at the appointed time, regardless of your weakness or negative situations around you.

If God knew that your weakness or the poor economy of your country or the bad circumstances around your life will not make you to fulfill your glorious destiny, he would not have formed you in your mother's womb. He formed you, because He knew they would not stop you from achieving your bright future.

As long as you try to stay away from sin, your destiny is sure and certain. SIN is the only thing that can stop you. Nothing else can make God's promises not to come to pass in your life. REMAIN BLESSED! This is the word given to me for you as i laid on my bed at noon.

It is about the force you need for an immeasurable destiny. The sacredness and inviolability of Covenant. It is so powerful. Have you ever wondered why God told the Israelites that "five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword", Leviticus 26:8. How relevant is this scripture to us in New Testament? Five stands for GRACE. Grace will earn you measurable victories, but you need an hundred of you to put ten thousand to flight. 'Ten thousand' is the way of saying the immeasurable, while 'Hundred' indicates the set time of God's covenant. In other words (according to the revelation given me by the Holy Spirit) you need the force of God's covenant to experience a destiny of immeasurable victories. Remember the story of Abraham. Bible says Abraham was HUNDRED years old when his son Isaac was born-Genesis 21:5. The HUNDRED of Abraham put ten thousand to flight-the HUNDRED of Abraham gave birth to immeasurable nations, because God had told Abraham that He will make him a father of many nations at the set time of His covenant, Gen.17.

One very important thing we must know is that Grace was not enough for Abraham to give birth to nations. Abraham was required to play certain roles to enter into the immeasurable destiny God had in plan. For examples, God told Abraham:"walk before me and be thou perfect". Second, Abraham must be circumcised. God told Abraham clearly that every male child must be circumcised in the flesh of their foreskin, as their own responsibility in the fulfillment of His covenant. And in the same day Abraham and other men got circumcised. This happened before God gave him Isaac. If Abraham had not obeyed God and got circumcised, God would not have fulfilled His promises. God would not have played His part, if Abraham had not played his own part of the covenant, even through grace was available. Of course, for an 100 years old man and 90 years old woman to give birth to a child is grace.

You in this New Testament need not the circumcision of the flesh. The circumcision you need for the fulfillment of God's covenant with you is the circumcision of your heart. Bible says be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may understand the good, acceptable and perfect will of God and do them. You need the covenant to put ten thousand to flight, because the provision of Grace is limited. God can start with you with Grace. There is salvation by grace(Eph.2 :8-9) But don't forget that there is a working salvation. There is a salvation you have to work it out. Paul says, " working out your own salvation with fear and trembling" Philippians 2:12. Think about this: In the early period of getting born again, you would notice that when you asked God for some things, you did receive them quickly in the physical. But as you grew in the faith, you would pray and pray for something but it would take a very long time before you could get it in the physical. The reason is that God wants you to have a sense of responsibility to access certain blessings, as you grow up in the Lord. Things will stop coming cheap to you, because responsibilities in the covenant have been upgraded. As He upgrades your blessings in the kingdom, He upgrades your responsibilities - "To whom much is given, much is expected". The power of Grace is not limited, but the provision of Grace is limited. Bible says shall we continue in sin and ask for more grace to abound?, God forbid. That's why you should not joke with the sanctity of covenant. Your response to covenant will determine how far your victories in life.

I don't know of the specific terms and conditions in God's covenant with you, but i know of the general which says ONLY FEAR THE LORD AND SERVE HIM IN TRUTH WITH ALL YOUR HEART. WALK IN HIS STATUTES, AND KEEP HIS WORDS AND DO THEM. Then He will give you rain in due season, and your land will yield her increase, and the trees of your field will yield their fruits. And you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely...... ( Leviticus 26, read more)

Do you want to put an hundred to flight or do you want to put ten thousand to flight? If you desire the latter, you need an HUNDRED of you. I mean you need the force of God's covenant. When God honours His covenant with you (his promises), no devil can stop it from manifesting. Whatsoever he says, he will surely do. He says: " For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful and multiply you"-Leviticus 26:9. He will have respect unto His promises. But on one condition: You have to honour your own responsibilities in the Covenant.

Immeasurable defeats await those who dishonour the sacredness of Covenant. (Leviticus 26).
Religion / Tithe by Seyibabalola(m): 10:36am On Dec 28, 2015
TITHE



Hold on before you ignore. You may have asked questions about Tithe like "Is paying tithe in the Bible?", "Does the Bible actually say ten percent is what to pay?", "Is paying Tithe in the New Testament?", "Is it only money that can be tithed?, if no, how can i pay tithe of things that are not money?", "Does God really demand tithes from us?", "Is it a must to pay tithe?". I have scriptural answers to all these questions, according to the grace bestowed upon me by God. I will not say here something that you will not find in the Bible.

Tithe is a must. You must pay tithe. You are to pay ten percent of your income or increase, according to the Bible. Tithe is scriptural. Paying tithe is in the New Testament, as it in in the Old Testament. It is not only money that can be tithed. You can and must tithe material things, as found in Bible. God really demands tithe from us. Now let us go into the scriptural backings.

In Leviticus 27 God talks about Tithe. God gave the children of Israel some commandments about tithe. First, God told them to pay the tithes of their land, fruits and animals. God noted that ten percent of these things should be paid: Leviticus 27:30-32. The issue is that they must pay tithes of all their increase or income, regardless the form. See this: Leviticus 27:28 "Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD". The phrase "Notwithstanding no devoted thing" means notwithstanding the form of the thing (which is sealed by God as devoted for tithe) Malachi 3:10 also says, "Bring ye ALL THE TITHES into the storehouse..." All these say that not only money one can or must tithe. Now i will show you how to tithe things that are not monetary.

You are to find out or estimate the monetary worth of a material thing(e.g clothe, house, car, etc.) given to you as a gift from someone. Then calculate the monetary ten percent of the estimated gift and pay it to God. Gifts are your increase, just like the fruits, the herd, the flock and the land of the children of Israel. So, you must pay their tithes. Look at this: Leviticus 27:16 "And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver", Leviticus 27:15 "And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his." This vs 15 is talking about adding 5 percent to the former estimated 10% of the house value, if the person wants to take back his house and replace it with money, (in other words, he is changing the tithe form)

"Is paying Tithe in the New Testament?" Yes, it is in the New Testament. Jesus speaking in Mathew 23:23 said, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone" New International Version "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices--mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law--justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former" In this way, Jesus noted that is important to pay tithe. Jesus did not disapprove it, though Justice, Mercy and Faith is more important as commandments to practice. Jesus also said, "Give to Caeser what is Caeser's, and to God what is God's" Mathew 22:21.

God really demands tithes from us as Christians. It is a commandment that you MUST obey. If God could say to the children of Israeli that they have robbed Him by not paying their tithe, and that they are, therefore, cursed, then you should know that it is a must. Don't be deceived by some so called men of God who tell their congregation that tithe payment is not a must or it's not required in the New Testament. If man curses you, God can deliver you. But if God curses you, who can deliver you?, Nobody. So, pay your tithe and be blessed, rather than be cursed. God says he will open the windows of heaven and pour out on you a blessing that you won't have enough room to receive them, Malachi 3:10. The blessing there is not only talking about material blessings, but it also includes ideas, wisdom and anointing to make wealth and succeed in all you do
Nairaland / General / The Pentecostal Love by Seyibabalola(m): 3:25am On Dec 24, 2015
The Pentecostal Love ......A Must Read



The Pentecostal love is the 'Old School' love which is pure and perfect. It had the passion of breaking of bread without attached conditions. Just as Jesus could still break the bread for Judas Iscariot, even after he knew Judas had betrayed him-Mathew26. Jesus could have sent Judas out of the feast, but he still broke the bread for him. He aet with an apprehended enemy. This was the greatest display of a Pentecostal love to teach his disciples who would then pass it to us. "Charity seeketh not her own..."-1Cor.13:4.

But we have grown up in Churches where pastors compel us to fill papers, write letters, join their church, join a department in their church or be a Cell member, before they can help us and solve our problems. I thought the Church is not just about continuing steadfastly in the apostle's doctrine and fellowship, and in prayers, but also the Church is about breaking bread and parting them to ALL MEN, as they have need. I thought the Church is an hospital where people who are oppressed can find help and comfort, materially and spiritually. I thought the way our pastors are nice on the pulpit when preaching is the way they would be nice when you go to them and share your financial challenges, but to my surprise, the first thing many of them would ask you is: "Are you a worker in the Church?", or "Are you a home cell member?" If you say No, they will tell you that you should first do so, before the church can help your issue. And then in a way am forced to work for God, which i rather should have done out of personal conviction and encounter with the Holy Spirit. And that's how our so called pastors and even people whom we had had our hopes on in church fail us and leave us with our problems. It's very painful if you have been in this situation before like i have been.

The Scripture says the disciples were braking bread from house to house, parting their possessions and goods to ALL MEN-this include people who were not disciples, people who were yet to join the group of believers. And that's the Pentecostal love- the unconditional love. You didn't have to join the church- i mean the group of believers before you could be served food or given your needs.

Where is the Breaking of Bread to All Men today? The present Church has misplaced this Pentecostal love, in place for Church growth. The present Christians now seeketh their own. This is unscriptural. The Bible says in Acts 2:47:"....And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved" It is the Lord that adds to the Church. Ours is to preach the word. It says,"....such as should be saved" This means not everyone will be saved, even though Jesus came to save every man, and not everyone will join the Church. Ours is to love everyone and meet their needs, according to the measure of grace given to us, but we cannot make everyone to join the Church. Jesus said, "No man cometh to me, except my Father has drawn him." He also says,"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me."-John 6:37

I have seen Christians who are good at inviting you to their church, but they lack the comfort, hospitality and giving ministry of the CHURCH. They are very selfish. You can't hope on them on the day of troubles. And they go to Church, lift up their hands and sing as saints. Where is the Pentecostal love in them? Where is the balm of Gilead in them? Where is the physician in them? Can people find help in them in the days of financial or material troubles? I know they can preach and pray very well. So am not talking about the spiritual things. Am talking about the Breaking of Bread. Am talking about you breaking the N5000 to feed the one who needs N1000. I do tell some Christians around me that the CHURCH is not only about the spiritual spiritual spiritual. The Church is established by Christ to meet the ALL ROUND needs of man.

The Bible says Jesus looked up and saw a great company following him. Guess what first came to his mind. It was how he would feed them. It was not preaching to them to repent or persuade them to join his disciples. This 5000 people were fed with five loaves of bread and two fishes. How was that possible? It is because when love leads, miracle happens.

You can imaging how so serious God took the Breaking of Bread that he could only mention that to describe those who would enter the kingdom of God: "Then shall my Father say unto those on his right hand, come ye blessed of my Father and inherit the kingdom which was prepared for you. For I was hungry and you gave me meat. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was naked and you clothed me....."-Mathew 25

Am not interested in how much you can preach or how much God has blessed you. Rather i want to know if you can help me when am down financially or materially. I want to know if i can find some comfort in you in my trouble times, without you giving me a condition.

The Pentecostal love is missing = The Breaking of Bread is given away to Religion and Church growth = Christianity in its essence is lost = And the Power of God is diminished. Let's go back to the old path-Jeremiah 6:16
Nairaland / General / The Power Of SEX by Seyibabalola(m): 3:19am On Dec 24, 2015
The Power of SEX ...A MUST READ



Sex is a marriage between a man and a woman. Sex is not one of the responsibilities or activities of marriage, but it is the marriage itself. Sex is what marries you to someone, not the ring, not the vows, not the verbal agreement, not the act of living together in a house, not even the things you both share together such as the emotions, the feelings, the mutual care, etc. These things as the emotions, the mutual care, the feelings and other activities you do together are merely what are made to follow marriage which is SEX. That is the way God sees marriage. Let's go to the genesis of marriage and check this out.

God says in Genesis 2:24 that a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall CLEAVE unto his wife: and they shall be ONE FLESH. Now, according to English dictionary, the word CLEAVE means 'to split', 'to cut', 'to cling', 'to stick fast to'. How does a man and a woman become ONE FLESH? Is it not by cleaving to each other?, according to that scripture. I mean, is it not by splitting your flesh and clinging your soul to your sexual partner that you become one flesh with him or her? The word flesh in real sense is the body. You both become ONE BODY by splitting and clinging, just as Christ became ONE BODY with us Christians by splitting His flesh and blood to us to eat and drink, so that we can cling to Him in Spirit. That is why Jesus said "He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, DWELLETH IN ME, AND I IN HIM"(John 6:56). 'Dwelleth in me and I in him' is the clinging part of the word CLEAVE. This takes me to telling you what a man is splitting and clinging to his wife, and how this happens, according to the definition of marriage by God in Genesis 2:24.

As you yourself know that it is through sex that a man CLEAVE to a woman. Simply put, it is through sex that a man split his blood and his flesh to the woman. In process of sexual intercourse, your blood, flesh and the water in your body are being splited into the body of your partner. And that makes you both to become ONE BODY (ONE FLESH). Now, these 3 things, BLOOD, FLESH and WATER which you just splited are what cling your soul to the person you had sex with, just as the Blood and Flesh of Jesus and His Word(which is represented by water) which we eat and drink everyday at home and even in our Churches are what cling our soul to Christ who is our husband as Christians, until he comes back to take us home. I guess you have not forgotten that the Bible says Christ is the husband of the Church (read Ephesians). We are married to Christ through His Blood, Flesh and Water (the spiritual sex). This is a mystery of SEX that many do not know. They just think sex is fun or pleasure in marriage. Once you have sex with someone, you are married to him or her. Bible says, "know ye not that a person who is joined to an Harlot has become one body with her?" As implications, your soul will cling to that person. You have a share of the person's misfortunes and fortunes, because you are carrying his or her blood and water and flesh. You can hardly forget that person. This is why you will see a lady who still come back into relationship with a man who maltreats her and just beat her to near death. The reason is not far fetched. Mathew 6:21 says where your treasure is, there your heart will be. Your treasure are those things you have splited during sex. After Shechem had sex with Dinah Jacob's daughter, the Bible says,"And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel",Gen.34:3.

Sex is meant for a man and a woman who will be living together to fulfill their divine assignment. But when you have sex with someone who is not living together with you as husband or wife to help you fulfill your divine assignment given by God, then you will have problems. The first problem is that you have given the devil a way to come into your life to torment you, afflict you and challenge your destiny. You have given demons a right to dine with you. This is why you may have to fast and pray for long days or hours, before you have results. A journey of 40 days might be turned to 40 years. You will be afflicted with bad memories which will affect your marriage with the person you are now living with. The treasures of God in you which you have splited to 2,4, or 5 girls you slept with and are not living with you will cause bad shortage. When you need enough power or wisdom to succeed in a particular project that will fetch you lots of fortunes, you won't find it because you have shared this power or wisdom to someone who is living elsewhere, rather than being there with you to be an help meet. These implications of Sex are scriptural. The Bible says that he that breaks the hedge, the serpent bites. He that fornicates or commit adultery, the serpent will bite him - Eccl. 10:8. It is only a special deliverance by God that can save you from these BITES from the devil.

Marriage is honorable and the bed undefiled. Don't have sex with someone you will not live together with to fulfill your divine assignment. That's the principle of marriage. God created Adam and Eve to help each other to fulfill their assignment. BE WARNED!
