Good evening everyone

Different strokes for different folks

Good evening everyone

Good morning

Good morning

LordReed:
Nope. Sin is religious nonsense layered on top of what is natural and normal in other to make the religious concepts have more impetus. For instance, you need sin to make the Adam and Eve story seem compelling likewise the purported human sacrifice performed by Jesus for salvation. None of those work when you realise some things are just normal human behaviour.

But you agree that there is such a thing called "sin "?

ebubeson:
How many Christian songs have you heard in recent times that made you decide to repent from all sin, stop bad attitudes, improve in character, get more committed to God in Truth and in Spirit, avoid worldliness, stop corruption, examination malpractice and bribery? I am not talking about songs that make you cry without leading you to the cross of Jesus Christ.

Now, why do some contemporary Christian songs fail to transform people.

(1) Inclination to Worldliness: When beatings, dance steps, dressing of singers are like that of secular singers., such songs may hardly cause true transformation.

(2) Desire to Trend: When the motive behind a song is for it to trend on social media and to have views, likes, shares e.t.c, then it may have no transforming power, as God may not be in it. And again, a song that is for trending may have some of its gospel contents removed, lowered e.t.c. to suit the crowd.

(3) Lack of Prayer in the Secret Place: When a singer does not tarry long in prayer before releasing a song, and when the reason of the prayer is not solely for souls to be saved, then such song may not transform people.

(4) Quest for Self-glorification: If the intention of a singer is to be known, hailed, popular, he or she may not give all the glory to God, and if all the glory is not given to God, God will not act on the song(s) sang.

These are some of the reasons, but there may be more.

Remember to give your life to Jesus Christ today. Repent from all sins and accept Jesus today. Many people are dying and going to hell fire, but it is not your portion in Jesus name. Amen.

Happy Sunday to you. Go to a good church.

May the Lord bless you abundantly for creating this thread .
I am very glad .

MaxInDHouse:
What a pity?

Do you think all these people carrying the Bible are just heartless?

No nah!

It's demons they worship in the secret that's directing them on what they should do.
For instance do you think all Islamists are heartless or bloodthirsty?
My guy it's the demons they worship that is issuing the orders.
I once preached from house to house as usual being a Jehovah's Witnesses and a Muslim told me that according to their god my head supposed to be removed i asked him why he said because i don't believe in Muhammad so i should be killed.
Then i told him i was once a Muslim this got him really annoyed that he rushed into his house angrily but his children told him i'm a former soldier that's when he stopped and started reigning curses on me for preaching another religion.

Now this was the person who greeted me in a friendly manner before i speak about my beliefs o.

So is he the wicked being or the demon he is worshiping?

Hmm.
True

MaxInDHouse:
Madam face me if you are up to the task. The people believe those fresh foods is what their gods demands which they mustn't taste nor give their children.

So God's word is vindicated which says:

What, then, am I saying? That what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? No; but I say that what the nations sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers with the demons. 1Corinthans 10:19-20

Highlighted in blue is what i believe that is affecting those people!

You are right .

LordReed:
I was waiting for this shoe to drop. Look, we are all human beings and will make mistakes but claiming you have some magic sky daddy that gives you supernatural power to overcome "sin" is nonsense.

BTW I loved DC Talk back in the day, I even still listen to some tracks. But I have lost the illusion that there is any supernatural power working any magic anywhere.

So are you saying sin is inherent in every human ?

Image123:
This is so unfortunate. This guy is the brother of Lynda Randle and very popular in gospel music. We keep saying it that the lifestyles of these "leaders" lead many away from christianity. When we say they should be careful and exhibit some external christlikeness, they will immediately and harshly accuse us of judging. You will see all types of threats and curses coming from christians when people express dissent or differing opinion about what they do. It is well.
i pray that the body of Christ heals, this is one serious blow to many.

This comment made my day .

My people perish for lack of knowledge .

GothamCities:
This is deep.

I have once argued with some fellow Christians who thought that astrology is harmless and should be encouraged in Christiendom. I do not initially believe that the heavenly bodies of the Sun, Moon or Stars should exercise any influence on the earth but by reading about your testimony and your vision, I see the need to readjust. I am an intercessor myself and would like to know more about these things.

Do you have any broader sphere of knowledge on these and how these bodies affect territories, families and nations? If you do, kindly share. Ignorance is the most potent weapon Satan has against believers.

Hello .

There are more spiritual manipulations going on upon the earth that men are not aware of but only a few .

The agents of the kingdom of darkness poses more spiritual knowledge than an average Christian because the knowledge that those who explore the spirit realm among them saw it fit to document their experiences ,and to train other persons with such knowledge so that there can be perpetual interaction on with the realm they were able to trap on earth.

However Christians should not submit to any knowledge or book or doctrine or human opinion that is not in agreement with the mind of the scripture .
The word of the is the gate and the guard to the knowledge of truth .
Every knowledge ,wisdom or understanding is subject to the authority of God's word .

If you desire to know or acquire spiritual knowledge concerning these then you should pray to God and ask him to illuminate and inspire your heart while you study that subject through the lenses of the Bible .

Now .
The sun is a representation of father ,and the moon of mother while the stars represent sons . Genesis 37:9-10. (The story of Joseph )

The moon receives it light from the sun
As the woman (mother) receives her seed from the husband (father)

The sun has it's own light while the moon's light is from what the sun sowed into it .

Now the moon was ordained to rule over the night not the stars .
The stars are many but the moon is singular because there can only be one mother but the mother can have many children .
There can be many mothers with one child but a single mother with many children .
The moon brightens the night sky and sun stars shines under its light .

Remember Jesus.
the wise men from the east saw his star ,they were astrologers who understand that the stars speak of the offsprings ( Genesis 22:17.)

The stars speak of offspring (sons ,and daughters .)

The Angels where called stars in the book of Revelations ,men were called stars in the book of Daniel .
Stars represent both Angels and the sons of men
judges 5:20. Nehemiah 9:23.
Angels are heavenly sons of God .
They are the stars of heaven .
While men are the earthly sons of God they are the stars of the earth .

Look at this Scripture below .

Job 38:7
[7]When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?




Psalms 147:4
[4]He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.

This in spiritual term speaks of the Angels ,and the (earthly) sons of God not the stars of the sky .


Speaking of Lucifer here the scripture says
Isaiah 14:13
[13]For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;

Above the stars means : up high above all the Angels just has God's throne stood high above the angles . He is not talking about the stars we see in the night because that scenario played about before the creation of mankind .


Compare these two scriptures

Daniel 8:9-10
[9]And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land.
[10]And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.


Revelation 12:3-4
[3]And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
[4]His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.


So stars speaks about men and through them the destiny of men can be read by astrology or other spiritual means .
The stars are like scrolls containing some details about those who live under the sun .

And every man has his or her own star.

While the moon is birth the light of the stars the sun impregnate it with the light .

Father - Sun- source of lights (eg.b bulb)
Mother -Moon - projector of a borrowed light (eg bulb)
Children- Stars - consumers of lights .

Witches ,astrologers warlocks ,shamans ,spirituals etc . All study and seek to understand the influence of these bodies and how to manipulate them .

The offer sacrifices during the full moon .
God commanded the Israelites of the old testament to offer new moon sacrifice to signify a new season .

So these people also offer sacrifice to renew allegiance ,and covenants to the various spirit they serve .

We humans greet ourselves during the new year period ,but for spirit people the new moon or the full moon is the beginning of a new season .
They don't count days to determine the newness of time rather they have at the moon to see how full or how blood red it has become .

Because it's is the time to start new things to strategize ideas and project .

I will stop here so that the reader can assimilate and grow gradually as they seek God for more of himself .

LordReed:
LoLz. Look I have no real expectations of your god doing anything but I will sarcastically say, your god knows where to find me.

Sure!

LordReed:
Reread my post that you quoted.

You see .
The spirit of God said to me
" Tell him his place is in Christianity ,he is ordained to serve me ,and he knows deep within his heart ."

He said also
" I will send another to tell him these if he doubt ,but if still he chooses not to follow still then let him know that there is a time for salvation and this is the time ."

I agree that it takes a lot to preach Christ in this days because of the ridiculous approach of the society - all it takes is Christ .

LordReed:
Diversity and inclusion IS based on reason not religion. Your fellow religious people would be happy to make minorities disappear if they are given the chance.

You cannot reason with Boko Haram BECAUSE of religion. Thank you for making my point for me.

If diversity;is part of reason then why shouldn't religion be part of reason ?
Religion can then also pass as reason.

LordReed:
Reason. Educating people on reasoning and applying it to everyday living. And lemme add that empathy will play a good part in that reasoning.

Reason : some of the world's best philosophers like Aristotle , Socrates ,and kant
Made efforts to convince the world on certain issues some to which the world agree with and some were reject or discovered to be inapplicable by others philosophers .

People like ibn Sina of Persia ,the mutazilites of the Islamic caliphate were fought and some were put to death because of reason .

What is reasonable to you might not be to another because you see things from different angle .
If you mean reason - dialogue
Then the world powers have been having dialogues with terrorists for long and it seems
Dialoguing is not to be applied in every situation .

In fact the west is not looking up to reasoning with another with the aim of convincing them to accept their ideologies
Rather they are now giving room of inclusion and diversity ,there are making the world to become more complex .

How would you convince those who have been oppressed to use reason to get justice instead of equal violence .
And how would you convince those who have been brought uo and taught to use violence that reason will be more effective than violence .?

How do we convinced boko Haram with reaosn and get them to lay down their weapons with by reason ?

2.educating people : who will be the one to educate the other and with what knowledge shall they be educated ,and from whence would the knowledge come ?

If you say you have an idea then there are a lot of people who think they are smarter than you are and would argue that their own ideas ought to triumph above yours .

3.empathy : would you be able to show empathy to your enemy ?
Jesus said "pray for your enemy "

How what ground should one pray for his enemies by empathy?

Do you think your best enemy deserve your empathy ?
how will you convince someone whose entire family was killed to show empathy to the killer if he meet him even if the killer is not sorry for the deeds ?


Hmm.

Think.

LordReed:
How are you not seeing that religion doesn't solve the issue of violent disagreement?

OK!
what do you think will " solve the issue of violent disagreement "

The spirit of argument is among them .
They seek not to know the truth but to argue with no desire for change if the need arises .

tip999:
Wow Very inspiring

Please will you intercede for your territory henceforth ?
Because the purpose of this thread is to raise intercessors .
The holy spirit is burdened that there are only few intercessors who are interested in praying for their territories .
Most people only pray for their families .
Some don't even pray for themselves at all talk less of others .

Please come be a vessel he would use to save lives in your territory .
He would reward in this life and the one to come .
Matthew 9:37-38
[37]Jesus said to his followers, “There is such a big harvest of people to bring in. But there are only a few workers to help harvest them.
[38]God owns the harvest. Ask him to send more workers to help gather his harvest.”

LordReed:
How are you not seeing that religion doesn't solve the issue of violent disagreement?

Would the absence of religion solve it either ?

A certain nairalander by the name "Johnny don22” and created a topic and asked the question on the screenshot thread below .
The question goes like this
" would you prefer a world wgere religion dies not exist at all ?"

I found it interesting and decide to take it a step further .

I think lordreed is one of the atheist I find interesting on this forum.
He was one of those who attempted to answer the question
and I decided to single him out for a reply .

This is the answer he gave below .

LordReed:
I would love to live in a world where we can all discuss what we think is the best way forward and then come to an agreement, without getting into killing rages, no matter how heated we get in the process. If that world contained religion I won't mind because then it would mean convincing people with sound arguments and evidence rather than sentimentality and relying on indoctrination to kick in. Religion is mostly culture and tradition given a veneer of immutability, men need culture and tradition but men don't need immutability.

So who and who do you think should formulate what we think and how should bit be present to the world ? :
As a law that must be lived ?
As non compulsory ideas ?
How would you get everyone to agree when there is already a general disagreement of thoughts ,cultures and social orientation ?

Who is who to say what is what ?
How do you intend to moderate these ideas without getting them evolve into organised religions has we have today ?

If there are no religions wouldn't disagree of thoughts still be a reason why violence would exist ?

On what basis shall morality be defined ?
There are some atheists who belife that homosexuality is immoral even though they don't believe in God and there are some religious people who believe that homosexuality is okay ,now how do you reconcile these ?
Which one should the world subscribe to and on what ground ?

Have you ever preached about Jesus in the public place before ?
Have you ever engage or taken part in evangelism
( I mean talking to people about Jesus ,and not just sharing church program bills ) in your life .

Will you be ashamed if anyone should approach you with the Gospel and attempt to preach to you in the midst of your friends or in your community ?

Apart from going with your church members to evangelize have you ever gone out to tell people about Jesus alone ?

Have you ever won any body (who had not known Christ before ) to the faith ;do you have any soul to you account ?

Is there anything you have done or are doing that you could say would make God rejoice over your life .

Is your lifestyle a product of the principles of is kingdom ;a model of his culture ?

I did not write this to threaten or to belittle any one but to create a reason why we all should sit and check our walk with God and see if indeed we are walking on the part the he has called us to .

What discomfort have I gone through for the sake of Jesus Christ who died for me ?
Should I be ashamed of Jesus because of what the world will think when he doesn't care and wasn't afraid to be misunderstood just to see that I become justified .

Is there not a single reason why you should be bold enough to suffer reproach for the sake of Jesus ?

Why do you weep when you watch the movie "the passion of the Christ " if there is nothing he has done that is strong enough to bend your will unto submission or unto death if the need be ?

Why do you call him Lord if he is not worthy of you obedience ?
Will you call a judge of a court "Lord " and then despise is judgement without getting chastised ?

This is written to cause a revival in my heart ,your heart ,our hearts ,and not to condemn but to stir up our hearts .

Open our eyes Lord and help us to see reasons why you are worthy of our obedience and even of our death if the need be .

Please intercede for the unbelievers in your territory every day .
At least for few minutes

This is deep .
This is beyond an ordinary sermon

Please bear with me I will make time for this thread later

The moon signifies a woman and a mother in the Bible .
It purpose is to be a conduit that gives birth by pouring upon the earth what it is impregnated with .
Eg.

The light of the moon is what it is impregnated with by the sun .
The sun signifies father ,source etc

You have raised a good topic and where are men who will answer ?

May 30,2025. 11:16 am.


Strength is not the absence of weakness but the ability to act in weakness .

Satan defeat men by giving them his own version of definition .
He does not attack activities at first but definitions .
He attacks you beliefs in other to influence your actions .


Have you given people the authority to define your circumstances ,and your situation ?

Whose definition have you yielede your heart to that you now cry over what your should have rejoice about ?

("Courage is not the absence of fear but the ability to do what you fear -copied ."

wisdom is not the absence of foolishness but your ability to turn foolishness around .
Light is not the absence of darkness but your ability to transform it .

God rides on thick darkness.

Can you see that what Satan attacks is your beliefs .

Wealth is not the absence of poverty but the ability to turn poverty to opportunities and ideas.
Vision is not the absence of blindness but the ability to form imagination out of blindness .

Two people might be going through exactly the same thing ,and one might be rejoicing over it and the other might be crying ; why ?

The answer is
Definition !

What you are rejoicing about someone is somewhere crying over the same issue ,and what you might be crying about somebody is elsewhere rejoicing over the same .

Why ?
The answer is defition !

Adam !
Adam!
where are you ?

I was afraid when I heard the sound of your voice and I hide my self because I am naked

Who told you that you are naked ?

Who told you?

Who is it that defined your current situation to you that you are now rejoicing over it ?

Is it a thing to rejoice over ?

Who defined that thing that is making you to weep to you ?
Who told you that it is worth weeping , sorrowing ,and complaining about ?

Who told you that you are naked ?
Who is you definer ?

The word of God
Or the word of Satan
Or the opinion of men
Of your own self

Who ?

There are new agers who are currently waiting for the moon to get full ,and when it does some of them go into fasting mode ,and fast for many days while they set under the moon light to absorb spiritual energy and to gain control of their consciousness ,and otherwise .


The new agers have a lot of book that deals with other subject of moon enchantment and how to partake of the substance the moon offers those who are conscious of its influence .

All of these are divine knowledge of the spirit realm which have been corrupted by the kingdom of darkness and then handed to men in order to make them divert from seeking God to seeking knowledge that would make them independent of God .

If you eat of the fruit your eyes shall open and you will know good and evil like God.

This is the serpentine deception that has eaten
This generation ,and is bent on drawing Christians into practicing witchcraft and sorcery

1000 and more than so years from now people will still benefit from the knowledge and information that are given here .

I prophesy as it was written .
