It is not surprising that a lot of passengers will not take the Covid-19 test:

- The test is not free.

- The procedure for carrying out the test is invasive and uncomfortable. A lot of people will do what they can to avoid the swab stick, which is inserted deep into nostrils.

- The PCR test is not reliable. It detects genetic material which is said to be related to the virus; it does not detect the virus itself. There have been a lot of false positives.

- The general public does not consider Covid-19 to be as dangerous as the government would have us believe. The survival rate is high (over 99%). Drugs and natural remedies are available.

- The federal government does not bother to test persons who come into the country through the land borders, especially from Niger Republic and Chad.

God bless you.

The wisdom of God is always foolishness to those who are perishing. Check yourself.

This 2020 is strong...

Ephesians 1:17-20: "That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come."

@OP...Repent and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today.

nnamdiosu:
Well done brother.....God blew you for this thread. Real nice.

However I'll have to personally disagree with your teaching that the sons of God is referee to as the Seth lineage in the bible.

Job 38, from 5 (KJV version)
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

(This talks about the laying of the earths foundation) man hadn't being born then, so why then will man be shouting for joy?



Now the same job 38 from 5 (IN NIV VERSION SAYS)

Tell me, if you understand.(G)
5 Who marked off its dimensions?(H) Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line(I) across it?
6 On what were its footings set,(J)
or who laid its cornerstone(K)—
7 while the morning stars(L) sang together(M)
and all the angels[a](N) shouted for joy?(O)


HERE IT ASCRIBES THE SONS OF GOD TO ANGELS.


as long as the old testament was concerned, sons of God referee to supernatural beings. Even if not angels, but the beings in context can't ever be man kind.

Its in the new testament that born again or regenerated man can be referee to as sons of God


Also, all mankind, whether from Seth or Cain linage are still directly from Adam. There wasnt any distinction per say, because EVEN IN SETH LINEAGE, THERE WERE STILL PEOPLE WHO DISOBEYED GOD. EVEN IN SETH LINAGE, ONLY NOAH FOUND GRACE IN GODS SIGHT.


so its not like the Seth linage were holy or something. no.
They all perished save Noah.


So what I'm trying to correct with love is,
The sons of God always rendered to supernatural beings in the old testament. Thats because man hadn't ascended to where he is noe, from the new testament.

Infact it was regarded as blasphemy to say you were a son of God. That was why Jesus was even belated by the Jews.


God bless you bro

I really appreciate your response sir. And I actually acknowledged that 'sons of God' in Job 1:6 was referring to heavenly hosts. But the one in Genesis 6 is definitely not angels. Sir, angels cannot have sex with human beings to produce babies. I will be glad if you can prove me wrong on this. I stated what Jesus Christ said in Matthew 11:30. I also always thought it meant angels but I will advise you re-read what I wrote up there with an open heart. And when John 10:10 states that all the thief cometh to do is to steal, kill and destroy, while hasn't fallen angels come again to sleep with ladies so the Holy Spirit can depart again? What is stopping them?

Let me give you another example of 'same word but different contextual meaning' in the bible so it won't appear one is trying to make the scriptures fit into a rhema'. John 3:16 says: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
1 John 2:15 now says: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."

Comparing John 3:16 and 1 John 2:15 on the surface level for someone that wants to nitpick the bible will say: is the bible asking us to love or hate the world? Is the bible confused? Absolutely not. The world in John 3:16 refers to people while the world in 1 John 2:15 refers to its lusts, enticing and demonic ways.

Also note that the bible wasn't first written in chapters and verses. Once you read from Genesis 4 till 6 as a story that's connected altogether, you actually get the contextual meaning of the sons of God. It's always important we see the bible as one book. And there were subtle ways God always referred to His people as sons even in the old testament. Let me list out some of them:

Exodus 4:22-23: "And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn." Of course, we both know 'Israel' here is actually a group of people.

1 Chronicles 28:6: "And he said unto me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father."

Psalm 2:7: "I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee." This is David.

This one isn't even that subtle:
Hosea 1:10: "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God."

These verses above in the Old testament confirm what John 1:12 said: As many as have received Him, to them He called sons of God.

Thanks once again for reading and I appreciate your perspective.

Topic: SONS OF GOD & DAUGHTERS OF MEN (Genesis 6:1-2)

Previous Thought: The sons of God in Genesis 6 were angels that saw how beautiful the daughters of men were and had sexual relations with them, thereby giving birth to giants or nephilims.

Actual Revelation: The sons of God in Genesis 6 actually refers to the descendants of Seth, Adam's third son.

Explanation: Please hold unto your bible and let the Holy Spirit teach us today. Genesis 4:1-15 chronicles how Adam's first son (Cain) murdered his brother (Abel) in cold blood. And after that, he was even unrepentant about his action, confirming that he is actually an evil person.

Genesis 4:9 says "Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?”

Cain continued in Genesis 4:13-14: And Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is greater than I can bear! 14 Surely You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.”

Genesis 4:16 confirms how Cain went out from God's presence. He was an evil man, hence, his descendants being evil. An example is in Genesis 4:19 which reads: Then Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah. Cain's descendant was the first person in the bible that had two wives- despite God's instruction in Genesis 2:24-25 that marriage should be between one man and one woman. Unfortunately, Lamech's evil didn't end in polygamy. It actually just started with it.

Genesis 4:23 continued Then Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me, Even a young man for hurting me. He ended up committing murder just like his great grand father- Cain. In fact, he was worse as Genesis 4:24 reads "If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.” Lamech's story was a microscopic view of how the whole of Cain's line grew in their evil and became enemies of God.

Now, another line arose in Genesis 4:25: Adam knew Eve again and bore a son called Seth (with the hope that he would replace Abel whom Cain killed). Now, Seth's line was different from Cain's. Seth's line became people that knew the Lord.
Genesis 4:26 says And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on the name of the Lord.
In fact, it was Seth's 'good' line that Noah eventually came from as we journey through Genesis 5. Enoch (the one that walked with God and was not, not the immediate son of Cain in Gen 4:17) also came from Seth's line in Gen 5:21-22. We could see because God still had a set of people that He could call His own, through the line of Seth in Genesis 5, He blessed them with long life so they could have enough time to multiply and fill the earth. I mean, these people were living as long as 912 years (for Seth himself), 905 years (Enosh), and even Methuselah of 969 years. And from this line came Noah as state in Gen 5:30-32. In short, there was a good line of people from Seth and evil line of people from Cain.

Now, let's re-read Genesis 6:1-2 in context. Genesis 6:1-2 says Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

First, while the term sons of God were used to most likely represent heavenly hosts in Job 1:6, it does not always refer to angels. John 1:12 says But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. The term generally refers to people that believe in God, like the descendants of the line of Seth. Even we are called sons of God. Romans 8:14 says: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Also, let's examine the idea of angels actually having intercourse with female humans that they were impregnated. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. Don't you think if God's angels could impregnate human beings, satan's fallen angels won't waste any time in this day to impregnate as many as possible?

What happened actually was that the men from the line of Seth began to marry women from the line of Cain, and they most likely turned their hearts from God. This became something God subsequently warned people he called out to Himself in later portions of the Bible. He warned the Israelites, who were His chosen people in the Old Testament not to intermarry with surrounding evil nations. 1 Kings 11:2 says Of the nations concerning which the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

And God is still saying the same thing to believers in the New Testament in 2 Corinthians 6:14: Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? It's interesting how consistent our God is with His standards. And as a result of this 'mixture' between the two lines, most men became eventually evil on earth. The Holy Spirit could no longer take it and departed from indwelling in men (till Acts chapter 2!). And God reduced man's days on the average to 120 years (Genesis 6:3). But there was a family that was still for Him, which was Noah's (Genesis 6:7-8 ). Hence, Noah and his family became a new set of God's chosen people after the earth was destroyed with flood. And Abraham came from his line, which is still the line of Seth.

What is the relevance of this little insight you may ask? It shows how much God demands His people to be separate unto Him! 2 Corinthians 6:17 says: Therefore “Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.” Are you a Christian that we can easily confuse you with an unbeliever based on how you talk, think, dress or act? Watch it. While salvation is purely by grace, not by works, there are fruits of repentance.

Philippians 1:11 (NLT) says: May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation—the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ[a]—for this will bring much glory and praise to God. How do I bear this fruit, someone may ask? It's not even by your own power.
Jesus Christ said in John 15:4-5: Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Women need this advice more.

Men don't really give a fvck if their fellow buddies post them or not, the bond and vibes will always be there. But women? They just want you to post them and caption it "Glow skin glow baby girl".... That's their true definition of good friendship.

Reason why they hardly maintain good friendships amongst themselves.

Women sha

The Part 2 of this story is still coming...

Yes, I do.

Amen ma.

Sorry I don't mean to diverge from the purpose of this thread, I also want to enjoin my fellow brethren in Christ to check out a thread I was inspired to create: https://www.nairaland.com/6319480/revelations-bible-holy-spirit

I notice people are mostly interested in discussing dreams and visions in this section (which have their own importance) but not the Word of God.

God bless you as you carefully check out the thread with your bible in hand and discuss the scriptures as inspired by the Holy Ghost.

Nuttella:
@Charlyg1 I understand your point, what I'm trying to say in earnest is that we should guard our mind and what we read, I have the prophetic call, even as a prophetess, I don't go about looking for books to read on how demons operate, holyspirit has taught me things about them and how to cast them out without me reading about them in a book cos my own calling has to do with warfare and deliverance, God himself will reveal their works to me so that I dont read a book and get carried away or deceived, because anybody can be deceived, its not by our power or by our might, its not like I am not spiritually matured to handle the books but I am guarding my mind, I dont want to open a demonic door way for these demons to enter my life, so no giving opportunity to the devil, God himself train people that he calls himself, just like you said he revealed somethings to you that you can't reveal here, which I'm sure you didnt need to read it from a book. Holy spirit is there to guide us.

Reading about witchcraft and their ways/powers and end up falling in love with their works. God forbid. Anyways, to each his own. May God help us all.

Well said.

@OP...You're actually the problem...and you don't even know. You'd better repent and truly give your life to Christ.

Biblical discussions are also welcome here.

Topic: Abraham & God (Gen. 12:1; Gen. 11:27-32)

Previous Thought: Once God asked Abraham (then Abram) to leave his father's house to a land He would show him, Abraham did so immediately and therefore received several promises. Hence, the name "Father of Faith".

Actual revelation: Abraham did not obey God immediately.

Explanation: Please hold unto your bible and let the Holy Spirit teach us. If we read Genesis 12:1 carefully, especially using KJV and NKJV (I'm always wary of some translations):

Genesis 12:1a says "Now the Lord had said to Abram...". There is a 'had', which makes it past participle. God had once instructed him to leave his father's house as stated in the rest of Genesis 12:1, before that moment. Where and when was he previously instructed? Aren't we reading too much into the scriptures by basing the first argument on the word 'had'?

Let's read Genesis 11:27-32 carefully which tells us about the family background of Abraham. His father was Terah. He had three sons: Abraham, Nahor and Haran (who begat Lot). They were living in their native land which is in Ur of Chaldeans (this was actually the same people that ruled in Babylon and took Abraham's descendants to exile through Nebuchadnezzar, in the book of Daniel but that's by the way).
It's important to note that Ur was a city in Mesopotamia. Lot's father (Haran) died in their native land Ur. Abraham and Nahor got married.

Isn't it strange that in Genesis 11:31 which reads: "And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there.", Terah was already heading to the same land which we later discover God was going to promise his son, Abraham? But he was probably distracted by the name of a city which reminded him of his dead son- Haran - and settled there. Actually, God distracted him because it was Abraham God had spoken to previously to leave his father's house to a land He would show him but Abraham probably was hesitant. Then, God touched Terah's heart to initiate the idea of a migration to the land of Canaan. He settled and died in Haran. Then, God now reminded Abraham in Genesis 12:1 what He had said.

Please, open your bible to Acts 7:2-4. Stephen was facing the high priest and his detractors and spoke under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost saying: "And he said, “Brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, and said to him "Get out of your country and your relatives to a land that I will show you. Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was dead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell". God originally appeared to Abraham in Mesopotamia...in the land Ur! And that was when the words of Genesis 12:1-3 were originally given to him. But even the one that eventually became the Father of Faith had his own doubts about just leaving his father's house.

Nehemiah 9:7 reads: “You are the Lord God, Who chose Abram, And brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans, And gave him the name Abraham...". God's call to Abraham did not start from the city of Haran. God orchestrated EVERYTHING to clear Abraham's doubts and hesitation and develop his faith in this "Person" that is speaking to him.

God reminded Abraham in Genesis 15:7 that: "Then He said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.” God had been speaking to Abraham since he was still at his native land of Ur. After his father, Terah (who I believe Abraham clinged unto so much) died, God then reminded him of the original instruction. Hence, in Genesis 12:1- "The Lord had said...".

What is the usefulness of this little insight you may ask? It actually humanizes Abraham as someone like us, not as an unrealistic historical figure of faith. Even James 5:17 says "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months." These people are just like us! They also had frailties. If Abraham could doubt God's voice at first when such strange instruction was coming, it is no sin for a young believer to err on the side of caution when he starts to hear God. He needs to be sure and guided by the Holy Spirit and the Bible. Because it is strange when we read the news nowadays and someone says a 'voice' told him to sleep with his daughter. Even if the person is dunce enough to not know that's clearly against the scriptures, you don't have to obey immediately since you should know it's a strange instruction. This insight also makes you appreciate growth in our personal walk with God.

Abraham also grew over time in his faith walk. Note that he was 75 years old here. When he was above 100 years and already had Isaac, and God now requested he sacrificed his son in Genesis 22, he had mastered the voice over 25 years (and more actually) to be sure this is the same God talking to him.

Glory to God. Jesus Christ said: "I know my sheep, and my sheep hear my voice...".

Hello everyone. I will be sharing some personal revelations from the Word of God that the Holy Spirit taught me for the past 8 months or so, that have just changed my life.

Hebrews 4:12 says "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

The word of God is our RULER (for measurement) in Christianity. There is no anointing that will be upon you that will make you say the Spirit told you specially that Sarah is actually the mother of Abraham, for example. Anything and everything the Holy Spirit would direct you to do will not contradict the scriptures. I will be sharing few things the Holy Ghost revealed to me from the word. He is indeed the greatest Teacher.

Let's go!

Congratulations on being born again. The fact that you are still being convicted of your sin means the Holy Spirit is at work. Proverbs 24:16 says "For a righteous man may fall seven times, but he will rise again". So, don't fall into condemnation if you by any chance slip, but you SHOULD be convicted of your sin. Romans 6:1-2 says "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?".

The thing is this brother, your spirit was what was saved at the point of salvation, your soul (or mind) is still being saved and should be continually renewed with the Word of God by the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 12:2). You need to maintain a consistent walk with God and genuinely ask for the Holy Spirit to help you overcome the flesh.

Galatians 5:19 calls fornication a work of the flesh, not of the devil. The devil will just exploit the flesh to ensure you fall back to your old ways. But the will of God is not for anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance. EAT the Word of God like crazy. John 8:31-36 makes us realize the first thing the truth wants to set you from is SIN. Read Romans chapter 6 for a start and 1 Corinthians 6. Holy Spirit can now bring these to your remembrance in times of temptation in forms like: "Fornication is a sin. Your body is now God's temple. You are a new man in Christ and dead to sin. While grace gives the opening for forgiveness from God if we sin, there is also the grace to overcome sin."

In summary, study more of God's Word, get closer to the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16 says we need to walk in the Spirit as to not fulfil the lusts of the flesh), get close to truly born again Christians (are you very active in church?), listen to messages of men like Bro. Gbile Akanni, Reverend Olusola Areogun, PK Olawale, Apostle Selman, and flee from youthful lusts and other appearances of evil (not walk away...flee! flee!). I once struggled with things too but by persistence and continuous spiritual growth, I started dropping them. Always be sincere to God in the place of prayer about your weakness and your desire for His help (you can only be delivered from what you see as an enemy, not a friend), and He will make His strength perfect in your weaknesses.

God bless you.
