God bless you.

I had a dream, I went to a gathering and saw men facing like an alter, instead of them to be dancing, they were raising their shoulders I got angry n left because my dress code was different,while leaving some tried to follow me,I did not want to pick them but I knew one of them but along the way I miraculously dropped them off

I was led to a screen, and was shown things I had been wishing for,people I had always wanted to b like but the spirit said they seem good but rooted evil in their foundation. I saw the word SIN and Association,and heard the word: breakaway..

I asked for conviction,fire from heaven destroyed some women that were cooking,it also revealed what they wore underneath. I was led to a hospital and saw sick people on the bed,the spirit said they r not sick, but paid to lie n pretend to b sick,the fire of God destroyed the hospital from its foundation.

I was also shown where some people were moving on a bush path,the fire of God went after them,hovered above them but spared them.

then I woke up.pls interprete for me .Amen

try the website in my last post

two people here are acting like children.

expecting you here...

thanks bro i will try but it's not going to be easy !!

even if you are yet to be opportune to visit the church God has laid in your heart, just visit mfm sites for prayer points and let them guide you as you pray.
don't neglect any advice given above. the devil will always want you to feel bad which in turn causes you to neglect genuine spiritual activities.

go and conquer.

How do yo go about...

34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space; 35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. 36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. 37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. 38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: 39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. 4 And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.

I am not FRUSTRATED..

When I
Dropped my pen, I never said I wouldn't pick it back up.

When I
Left the thread, I never said I wasn't coming back

The sincere truth was, I needed a break

And for those who are quick to judge...

hope you back to finish the good work you started. if anyone is detailing you or making abusive/perverted statements just make use of the report button.

Julietcutie:
true ...and again its a copy and paste story ...on fb I liked all dis blogs and pages DAT write stories she probably is waiting for the source she got d story from to post it so she can copy...u guys should stop begging her biko

I think the story is true (or at least to some extent). it seems she's just not good at handling the pressure.
also I don't think she did too well by focusing on the posts that brought her discouragement which was less than 20% of those viewing/commenting. not even considering the guests ..

bugativeron:
However, jokes apart, the following are things I think happen to OP.
1. Either she was copying the post from somewhere and she could no longer access it.
2. May be her phone is off or misplaced
3. Or lastly, she is the meanest human on earth that despite all appeal remained adamant.
@op even if you come back to write your worth here has really dropped people will only read your post with a pinch of salt because you so f***kin mean

she's viewing the thread. scroll down and check the names of those viewing currently.

I can see op or @ thatsincerechic still viewing the thread...
easy way out for thatsincerechic is to create a thread in the diary section and place link here for people who wants to continue. @ diary section only the op can comment. no one else.
unless thatsincerechic wants to exhibit some the habits she's given us in her write-ups. in that case she can deactivate her moniker so everyone doesn't bother her for the story.
shalom.

italo:
Adeboye has done what Catholics do in Canonization...which pentecostals condemn...declaring that a person lived right, died in grace and is now in heaven.

First, you condemn, then you copy.




Suddenly, they're bringing out verses to support Canonization..now that their 'pastor' has copied it.



There was a process. Adeboye said he spoke to the woman and inferred that she no doubt, is in heaven. That is a process.

can you quote pastor Adeboye's words and highlight the supposed canonization? and also can you define canonization ?

Littlefinger:
Lately, I have been having dreams about different kinds of women that I have never seen before engaging in one form of ungodly act or another.Whenever I wake up from these dreams, I feel really weak and depressed.Could I be under some form of spiritual attack and how do I fight this?

don't fret, you are coming out with total victory. I believe op has earlier made a little intro on warfare prayers. engage in them.
always make sure you study the word of God to build up your faith. then engage in midnight prayer after offering quality praise and worship.

remember, "you are more than conqueror" in Christ Jesus.

uboma:
Same way I view Adeboye's words, very empty to me.

he gave reasons that motivated his words, you just told us your words are empty.

uboma:
Adeboye can not tell who's in heaven and who's not.

all you have is word of mouth... kinda empty to me.

bettercreature:
Another fake prediction,if she is truely AWOLOWO'S WIFE,i dont think she can make Heaven ,She did not confess all the crime commited by her husband before she died.Most people believe Awolowo is a saint but he committed so many crimes underground

you can tell all these because you are God abi?

good riddance to rubbish

dayo20002002:
He made a way.

My name is Olawamiri Ayo. Everyone calls me Ola except my mom and dad who insist on saying it as it is. I’m the first of 4. I was the only child for the first 8 years of my life after which my parents proceeded to have 3 more children (all boys) in quick succession. I will be 29 in November this year (2013). Olamide is 20, Oladele is 19 and Olaitan is 17. All three are in a Private University studying Economics.

My tale is one of encouragement…

***

I finished secondary school (FGGC Shagamu) in 2000 and after 3 years of JAMB drama, I finally got admission into OSU to study Business Administration. I just wasn’t able to get into Unilag, IFE or UI- my original choices. I served at a big communications firm in 2008 and since then, it has been one search for a job to the next. As you might have figured, I wasn’t retained. I was terribly disappointed. I gave that job my 100% devotion.

Then, my family lived in Idimu and the firm was in Ikoyi-two opposite ends of Lagos. I would wake up at 4am each morning and be at the bus stop by 5:10. When I was lucky, a family friend who works on the Island would pick me up and when I was not, I would take a bus to Obalende and then find my way to the office, usually on foot. I would get to work really early, all tired and sweaty and freshen up in the bathroom, grab a 15-minute nap before anyone else got to work. By 7:30, I’d be on my computer, responding to emails and generally getting work done. I never left the office before 8pm. Most times, I’d stay till 9/10 in order to follow the family friend home. Whilst I waited to be picked up, I would not just sit idle, I’d get busy and stay busy till he called me that he was entering the street.

Most people did not know I was a corper. I attended meetings alone sometimes and I was almost certain that I would be retained. About a month before passing out, a new girl joined the firm and she was asked to ‘shadow’ me. I was feeling like a boss lady who was now showing someone else the ropes. I was elated. Thinking back now, I seemed to be the only one who was happy. I guess like they say, you are always the last to know you are being ‘stabbed’. It turns out I was showing my replacement the ropes. She was a graduate of UI and had just returned from the US armed with a Masters Degree. I was told I would not be retained but I should feel free to check their website for openings and not hesitate to apply. Like they forgot that I knew the drill. Only about 2 percent of the work force got employed through that website.

Unlike my fellow corpers who were never given any hope of being retained where they served, I had not been applying as I was certain of my place at my posting so I was literally at home for about 6 months after service. I applied anywhere and everywhere. I would wake up in the morning, do my chores and then head for the cyber cafe near the house searching for jobs frantically. It got so bad that the guy there had struck a weekly deal with me instead of paying hourly. I just wanted somewhere to go to every morning wearing a skirt and blouse. My parents, bless them, had turned me into a live-in house maid and it was not unusual for my mom to call me with a list of things to do before she gets back. I was totally and completely frustrated.



I hated going for events where I would meet old mates because the first question friends will ask is, ‘so what are you up to these days?’ and after 6 months of having finished NYSC, it was no longer cute to say, ‘I just finished serving’.

After 2 years of doing nothing, I started accepting ushering jobs. We would usher people at events and I would see my classmates from Shagamu and OSU walk into the event looking like they owned the world. A few would say ‘hi’ while most just kept walking. I guess they didn’t want to have to explain to people how they know the usher.

I did the ushering job for about 5 months until the day I saw my ex walk in with his pregnant wife/girlfriend/fiancé. I quit on the spot before they saw me, went through the back door, jumped on the first okada I saw without even telling him where I was going. The okadaended up taking me all the way from Sheraton Ikeja to Idimu- that is normally a 2-3 hour drive. I cried on the okada till I got home. I just didn’t understand how I would search for a job for almost 3 years. I just did not get it. Thankfully, no one was at home when I got there. I went into my dad’s room, took a bottle of red wine, locked myself in my room and finished the entire bottle. I slept till about 10 am the next morning.

That was how I started drinking. I was a secret drinker. I could not continue taking dad’s bottles of wine because he would notice and I certainly could not afford them so I turned to Don Simon. I hated the taste so I would buy Tasty Time and mix it. Sometimes, I’d finish a whole pack before 9 am. I would bounce out of my room in a very chirpy mood, hug my dad and shout the loudest ‘Amen’ during morning devotion and my mom would admire my good nature and how I was taking the whole lack of job issue very well. Little did she know that it was all thanks to alcohol. I heard weed helped one escape reality. If there was somewhere I could get it from without being found out, I’m sure I would have dabbled into that too.

I was very dependent on the alcohol and would take it before facing the world each morning. No one ever found me out. I was the master of deception. Thank God that was the only vice I had and thank God I preferred solo drinking because I’m sure I would have been led into worse things had I not been a lone drunkard.

One random day during my Don Simon/Tasty Time breakfast, I got a message from a group I had joined and someone there shared the story of how they were able to give up alcohol. I was one of those who sent back responses. I said ‘Wow, God is great. What a great testimony!’ I wrote as I sipped on my concoction.

I was at my lowest one day when suddenly, I thought about my life and by myself, went to God in tears and pain and I told Him how angry I was that I had no job even after slaving away in school to get a 2.1 and slaving away during my service year. I ranted in tears for almost an hour, inebriated yet sober. I asked for His help and mercy and I promised to stop with my pattern of drinking.

The miracle did not happen right away but it eventually came. About 2 months after I had that moment with God, I got a call from a multinational I had applied to exactly 7 months before. A polite lady asked to speak with me and then asked if I am still available and interested in the programme. I did not have to write a test. I was interviewed 3 days after on the 31st of March and I was given a letter of employment to begin on the 1st of April-the next day! It was unbelievable! I mean, as I walked out of the meeting with some of the big bosses, I was immediately ushered into HR and handed my already typed up and signed letter which means the ‘interview’ was just formality.

The day before the interview, I had spent about 6 hours in the cyber café near my house researching the company, finding out about all their core areas, recent developments, etc. Lo and behold, I did not have to say one thing from my research at the interview. They simply asked about my experience and what I can bring to the company and voila! I got the position. It might interest you to know that of all 5 of us on the programme from Nigeria, I am the only one without a Masters degree and also the only one without a degree from a foreign university, the oldest (I think I even have passed the cut-off age) and also the only one with a Business-esque (non-professional) degree. The other 4 are: lawyer, economist, accountant-with ICAN and accountant-on level 2 of CFA.



Now, I have a job! I will first be a Graduate Trainee for 2 years then confirmed thereafter. I’m in Nairobi for 6 months, Addis Ababa for another 6, Johannesburg for another 6 and the final 6 in London. I look at my official email address, my office laptop and iPad, my official blackberry, my ID card and just smile. Now, I have a tea lady assigned to my desk area when I am in Nigeria who keeps asking, ‘aunty, tea or coffee?’ and I remember when I used to do the asking. God, You are good and Your mercies endureth forever!

Now, I’m happy to set up a LinkedIn account and to re-activate my Facebook. I’m paid a very decent salary (equivalent of 3 times what I would have been earning presently had I been retained at the firm I served) and I get to go for conferences and events like every month. Each time I pass by an usher, I smile and greet them. Usually, they look at me stunned, not understanding why a delegate is taking so much effort to greet them. I have stopped drinking totally. I don’t even take energy drinks. I renewed my relationship with God. I also met the best man ever. He has not proposed or anything but I see where we are headed and it looks like a good place. I have learned to trust in God for the littlest of things. Every experience one faces is like a slap of paint on a canvass. It might not make sense now. It might even look like a mess is being made. But when the Almighty is through with His work, when the Potter is done with the clay, you will be turned into the best-finished product you can ever imagine.

***

I was going through intense depression and alcohol was my method of escape. For others, it is drugs, sex, anger, violence or even total silence and denial. The truth is every successful person has one story or the other to tell of not so rosy times past. We need to learn to remember to trust God and wait for his perfect timing. “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint” Isaiah 40:31.

We also need to be more aware of those around us-our siblings, parents, children and friends. Learn to check on them and see how they are really doing. The strong ones might actually be those who complain to you everyday. The ones you should really pay attention to are the silent ones who smile and act like all is well. They might be dying inside or worst still, high, like I used to be.

All in all, I thank God for my life and my friends. A word of advice: Even as you prayerfully wait on God, don’t just sit and fold your arms. For those who are serving, in Med school, Law school etc, start applying now! Even if you are sure of being retained where you are or are sure of one job dad’s friend promised you, still just start applying when you are not desperate and there is no pressure on you. Most application processes these days in good companies span between 3 months to 6 months so you better get on it! Learn a craft or a trade. Do something!

Don’t be tempted into escapism when things are looking down. When you get back on earth, your issues and problems will be there, waiting patiently for you with legs crossed. Instead, speak to someone you can trust and who is sure to give you sound advice and lead you to God in prayer.

Finally, enjoy each phase of your life. A friend once told the story of how he had to latch on to the back of a moving bus in order to get home each day. Now, he drives around town in his brand new car. You think you have it bad? People have worse tales to share. So keep the faith and know that all is gonna be just fine!

really encouraging. is this your experience?

why not go and find out

xxxangel:
But why didn't anyone notice the miracle of Jesus talking to 5000 men without a microphone? It's only the food part that we noticed.

I've thought of it right from childhood but it never added an inch to my height nor to my hair's length.

mikewonder:
As much as we re in a technological age is it right to chose Ur smartphone over ur bible when going to church
lalasticlala a little help pls..

why were you going to church in the first place?

ademega:
most times I dont like asking questions during the Sunday school service because most times its always an issue. some do see me as unrepentant unbeliever while some sees me as a realist.

most times I don't like going for Sunday school because I will always have one controversial question to ask.

today, the Sunday school was included in the normal service, so I was opportune to be their.
for redeem members, today's topic is destiny destroyers.
the things that do destroy destinies were mentioned, which were, sin, prayeless life, laziness and secular issues.

after said and done, I asked my questions backing it up with examples.

1) how can one know he is fulfilling his or destiny? can we say dangote or davido are not fulfilling their destiny knowing fully well that they engage in one or two of this destiny destroyer?
a Christian that is prayerful, hard working and does not cherish worldly things but very poor, can we say such is fulfilling destiny?
what is the measurement of destiny fulfilment?

2) can some change his or her destiny?
let say do u have control over your destiny? knowing fully well that we didnt choose our parents from the start.

all the answers provided were not convincing enough.
pls any good answer?

I think I have seen the manual for this topic, you should locate that of the previous week which talks about destiny discovery to better understand "the context" of what you were taught.


1) how can one know he is fulfilling his or destiny? ...check above.

can we say dangote or davido are not fulfilling their destiny knowing fully well that they engage in one or two of this destiny destroyer?
... yes they are not if they're engaged in such.


a Christian that is prayerful, hard working and does not cherish worldly things but very poor, can we say such is fulfilling destiny?
...this answer is quite long and its not so convenient for me to type epistles but such person maybe paying price of previous error...

what is the measurement of destiny fulfilment?
...another long answer. you first have to discover/know your destiny before you can measure level of attainment.

2) can some change his or her destiny?
...change? simply put YES


let say do u have control over your destiny? knowing fully well that we didnt choose our parents from the start.
...
...you have the largest control over your destiny except for few cases e.g demon possession.

Have learnt so much from this post, enjoying everybit of it and learning as well. This trend indeed is an eye opener into the spiritual life but now it seems like the trend is dying slowly as very few people have contributed recently except from the OP who is trying to keep it alive.

Lemme share my own testimony. I was born a muslim and in a very deep muslim home but by the Grace of God, I gave my life to Christ Jesus in march 2013 and God has been so wonderful. He gave me a new name and even changed my surname and so many great things he has done in me. But it wasn't that rosy as I was badly persecuted in my family but Jesus won at last but the amazing one is that within that period even up till now, i have faced so many spiritual attack from sqeezing of my intestine in my sleep, to neck stangling, till dark forces pressing me down in bed and even till death but thank God am alive all by the Grace of God. Tho I have never seen the demons but I always sense and feel them when ever they are around. I give all the Glory to God coz Christ won and the devil failed. Am still growing spiritually. May God help me.

Welldone OP. I admire your gifts

.
may God forever establish you in Him in Jesus name.

There is a price to pay to be a minister or vessel of signs and wonders, one of which is a readiness to operate in both physical and spiritual realms simultaneously. When you pay this price, you will start seeing the invisible. You will not only see angels and the heavenly hosts like Elisha's servant in today's Bible reading, you might equally see demons. This should not scare you. When you can see demons, you will immediately see them in any demon-possessed individual brought to you, and when you cast them out, you will be able to know whether they have really gone or are just pretending to have done so. Asking demons how many they are inside their victim is of no use when the minister cannot see them. Even if there is just one of them, because you cannot see him, he can lie to you. How prepared are you to pay the price?

Dharey55:
This thread has been eye-opening, actually i av also noticed this in me, anytime anytime am in a state of rest (sleeping), once my two eyes are just closed, i always dream of what will happen in the future tho most of the dreams are just normal scenarios that i will see like seeing myself talking with someone in a place and so many like that, what amazes me the most is i don't always remember this dream when i wake up not until they start happening, something will just trigger my memory then suddenly i will remember that i once dreamt of this before and everything will happen exactly as i saw it in the dream, bt unfortunately i hardly have such dreams again, don't know what happened to me bt some of the ones av dreamt in the past still keep happening in real life and i keep remembering them once they happen,the prob is such dreams hardly comes by again, very rare

same here with me.
though I now have once in a while again. but I don't always have my eyes closed to see the future.
All glory to God.
