Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. He (by the power of the Holy Spirit) will help you grow up from all these.

This is painful but our joy is that He is with the Lord. To die for Christ and even in Christ is gain.

A life well-lived. Such an astute and "scientific" explainer of the Word.

RIP

Father of mercies, God of all comfort. The One who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, I worship you.

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Also, let the Holy Spirit work upon you.

So which are of the movies listed above do you think beats hostages cos I have seen all

All that I listed there.

It's a matter of opinion though.

emperorlaqrin:
All those movie never stand hostages

I disagree

PrimadonnaO:
You are Narcissus himself! Plus a lot of other weird mix.

I don’t even know what to say. You need Jesus... and the transformation of the Holy Spirit.

All of these traits are far from healthy.

This.

@OP...YOU NEED JESUS CHRIST. And I am not saying this as a form of courtesy. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and pray that the Holy Spirit TRANSFORMS you and REPLACES that heart of stone with a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).

@OP... How do I say this....or let me present it in form of a question, ARE YOU STUPID?

I will be praying for you.

Thank you Jesus

Donnie Mcclurkin- I Need You

Smh. So far you are truly in Christ, 1 Cor. 3:11 applies to you: "For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ".

@ OP So, what do you believe?

Finallydead:
All your many questions have to do with just one thing- the ABIDING Presence of God.

But first, I suggest you get rid of the "silver-spoon", "special" believers mindset because there are two aspects of spiritual life. Gifting(external) and internal state and God only rates us based on our internal conformity with Christ. Yes, some are gifted more than others according to sovereign wisdom but they will never be considered in heaven for their gift/anointing. Everyone will be judged based on their loving surrender to God's will in their which is according to their internal state.
While gifting may open up opportunities, get us earthly recognition and even involve us highly with the angelic and the Holy Spirit because of heavenly assignments attached to the gifting, we really are ALL up against the same brick wall of SELF in conforming our internal state with Christ's and can only PATIENTLY, yet with steady obedience and surrender, be conformed to Christlikeness. It will take a lot of perseverance, iow.

You want to be filled with the Spirit daily? You have chosen well. God has made that provision available, His ABIDING Presence. But it will require more than prayer and fasting(I say this as one who has greatly explored such disciplines and knows their value). What is required however is a resting place/temple for God where He can ABIDE - an inward state. If you're thinking that God, like a man, will be rewarding you with His Presence on the basis of daily input-daily reward format, you have a thing more to learn about Him.
All your daily spiritual exercise is towards building a landing for the Spirit to dwell, preparing your inner state to host Him. So keep at it and be urgent in it while also patient as God will be building in all of it, a place for Himself.

Wow. Well SAID!

Caleb91:
sure it a cross even when it barks nobody needs to tell u

Lol...are you kidding me?

I almost thought the dog was dead in that first pic...

verminnel:
Who will count his or 80k to buy this thing u call a dog...pls feed that dog properly then u can negotiate at 15k

Tell them oh...

Yes, you should forfeit the relationship. 2 Cor. 6:14-18 is your friend.

Openbusiness:
I stand with Pastor Chris and Bishop Oyedepo! Pastor Chris we know, Bishop Oyedepo we know, hu be this wan?

It was demons that uttered this in the Bible. God help you.

Ah...just when you think you've seen it all...

davidinchrist:
First, I would like to make something clear here, I don't HATE anyone (not permitted to), including these "great" Pastors/Prophets and other common Religious Leaders of which I have stopped following. And neither am I envious or jealous of anyone: I'm not a Pastor/Prophet, and I'm NOT willing to become one "unless" I get CALLED. The main purpose of this writing is to set people free from the deception of Men: the Truth sets free.

Second, I may not go in detail so as not make this rather too long.

That said, let's take a look at some common Lies OR Unrealistic practices and believes in many churches today:

1. Your Problems and Sicknesses are MORE dangerous than your Sins:

Yes, this is not usually said verbally, but would be realized in the impressions you get from the preacher's long sermons and stories on healing and deliverance. Jesus and His apostles majored more on Repentance of Sins in order for people to ESCAPE the damnation of HELL.

For some reasons, Jesus don't heal everyone today (he did heal all at a time to fulfil the scripture, though) Matthew 8:17. Even the apostles were not always healed when they got SICK, and they didn't heal all the Sick of their time either.

If you are Sick, pray and pray, or even get the Elders to pray for you if possible. And if you are not healed immediately, ask God for light on it, but make sure to get rid of SINS, in any case.

Sickness can't send you to Hell; Sins certainly will!
2 Cor. 12:7; Gal 4:13; Philip. 2:27


2. It's not possible to stop Sinning: Just like the above, they do not say it verbally, nor necessarily show that they believe the bible says those that continue to commit Willful sins are of the DEVIL.

Why is He called Jesus?

Matthew 1:21 KJV
And she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shalt CALL HIS NAME JESUS: for he shall SAVE His people from their SINS.

The thing is, Sin is way more dangerous than all Sicknesses and Problems: for instance, the baby is sick and the dog is sick. I hope no one would want to take the dog to the hospital first!

Likewise, let's seek God to GET RID of our Sins or Wicked ways first!


3. Once you are Saved, you're always saved, you can never FALL AWAY: Yeah, I think this is getting commoner these days. Jesus said if a believer keeps looking back, he wouldn't be fit for His kingdom; also said that only those that endure till the end shall be Saved. Matthew 24:13



4. You cannot know God's will without seeing the Pastor/Prophet: God wants us to SEEK and know Him personally; not to depend completely on men.

He is a Jealous Father.

However, we can ask "scarce" Godly men and women for counsel or advice on something.

Acts 2:17 KJV
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will POUR OUT of my Spirit upon ALL flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall PROPHESY, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

5. If you are NOT rich, you're under a curse, or something must be terribly Wrong with you, because Jesus wants you to be very Healthy and Wealthy: Godliness with contentment is great gain.

God determines the financial status and every other thing in every person's life.

"The Love of Money is the root of all Evil." 1 Timothy 6:10

Ecclesiastes 10:8 KJV
... and whoso breaketh an hedge, a SERPENT shall BITE him.

6. You were Not healed because you didn't have enough faith: Sometimes, it is even the preacher's or elder's Faith that is needed here, not of the Sick person. James 5:14-15

And as said before, Jesus don't always heal everyone, sometimes he allows Sickness, Trials or Troubles to discipline and sanctify his children: like he did to Job, Paul and the likes. 2 Cor. 12:7


7. If you do not pay your Tithes, things will be Tight for you: First, in the new covenant, we are to give 100% of ourselves to God (total surrender) Luke 14:33, and to give cheerfully in general.

Many preachers will even make LONG sermons or stories on it to move people. Yet, Jesus and his apostles preached Giving not Tithing: remember the widow? Jesus said she gave more than the rich!

Mark 12:43 KJV
And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast MORE in, THAN all they which have cast into the treasury:

Jesus was talking to the Pharisees in Matthew 23:23, NOT to His disciples, as some try to use this to justify Tithing.

Therefore, IF you are a Pharisee (an Old covenant hypocrite), you MUST tithe! And don't forget to keep all the Ceremonial Laws and the likes in Deuteronomy and all that as well.

I hope you are not a Pharisee, though.

Please, let's beware of Greedy Preachers: doing business or making Money in the name of Jesus. Philip. 3:17-20; 1 Tim. 6:5-10

Give Cheerfully:
2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him GIVE ; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a "cheerful giver".

Many don't even pay the tithes cheerfully, but sometimes imposed!

(See also Romans chap. 12)


8. You must be stuck with one Denomination/Church for forever, even if all they mostly have is the Traditions of Men, and don't follow what Jesus and his apostles taught in Scriptures, you should just ignore it:

The the bible says we should TURN AWAY From those with a form of godliness without the Power (to overcome Sins and live holy to do God's will). Timothy chap. 3:5


9. Believers will be Raptured before the Great tribulation: Sounds nice but the OPPOSITE is true!

See the following to learn about it and some facts about the End times:
Matthew chap. 24; Mark chap. 13 and Luke chap. 21.


10. Anyone can Give or Support the Lord's work: No, unbelievers and backslidden/sinning Christians are not allowed. 3John vs 7; Matthew 5:23-24, 6:3-4

Moreover, the person giving must have enough for his personal/family needs, and should not be in a Large Debt. Mark 7:9-13; 1 Tim.5:8 and
Matt.22:21; Rom.13:8


It's time to get Serious; Studying and Obeying the Scriptures for ourselves to overcome Deceptions.

Jesus already predicted the Arrival of FALSE PROPHETS: WOLVES IN Sheep's Clothing.

We shouldn't trust any Man: I mean any Great or small MAN.

Some are not particularly evil, though: but a subtle MIXTURE.

Romans 3:4 KJV
... yea, let God be TRUE, but Every man a LIAR; as it is written...

We should check the FRUITS, not just the Gifts: Many will be deceived by Great SIGNS AND WONDERS... Matthew 24:24

May we be Wise, so as not be victims of BLIND LEADERS OF THE BLIND.

Matthew 15:14 KJV
Let them alone: they be BLIND LEADERS of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall FALL into the DITCH. (Hell)

May Jesus Bless You.

I agree with you actually on most if not all. Hmmm...God help us.

NobleAngell:
Wow! You are actually very smart when you aren't talking.

Damn

The one I always felt was a backhanded compliment was what the OP mentioned: "Good for you".

Awon Agege Shepherds...looking cute.

The snake sef get mind oo...see wetin e swallow.

Beautykate:
This is Saint Denis of Paris. He was a 3rd century Christian. The Bishop of Paris. In the days of persecution, they decapitated his head, he carried it in his hands and walked 6 miles preaching and telling people to repent of their sins and give their lives to christ. He preached repentance with his head in his hands. After about 6 miles, he slumped and went to be with the Lord.



Today, we have Christians who are not moved by the multitude of souls trooping to hell. We have Christians who are not ready to lay anything down for God. We have Christians who are only concerned about what to eat, what to drive and fly.

Christians who go to church every Sunday to show their latest style of dress, new hairstyle and shoe, with no soul to present to God. Today, we have people who have turned the church of God to business.

When they get attendance report every Sunday, it is money, financial report they look at first. All they care about is how much came in. Some don't bother to know how many souls were won. How may souls escaped the unquenchable flames of hell. Materialism, greed has creeped into the souls of many shepherds and choked Their original motive.

God sent them to the world, but the world sent them from God with vain, transient and mundane things of this world.

Shepherds that are making the Labour of authentic Kingdom heroes past to be in vain. If we continue like this, and Jesus tarries to come, only God knows the future of Christianity in the world.

Hmmm.... !!!

Any Christian song that the Holy Spirit imparts on my spirit.

She wasn't causing panic...lol. Her birthday is in May. She is just glad "her month" has arrived.

paul100:
While at house,a pastor closed to my house always tell her members that if she prays for any of her members and God bless the person.
Then the person maybe decide to change church or stop coming to see her.She will pray for the person to go back to his/her initial stage.Is that good.Will God answer that kind of prayer?

There is something wrong with that woman in the head. And she is not a spiritually mature child of God if truly she said that. I don't care about her title. Where envy and self-ambition persists, strife and every evil thing is there (James 3:16).

She should realize she is just a vessel being used by God, NOT her doing God's work for Him. And it is God that owns everyone, no matter how painful it is that someone leaves your fold. If God has called her, He will definitely take care of her with OR without a member staying or leaving.

bukatyne:


Calling is not necessarily spiritual sha.

Oh well...

Based on my Christian background sha, it is. Romans 8:26-30.
