Christianity Etc3 Lessons To Learn From Jesus And The Adulterous Woman by SPTruth(op): 8:11am On Feb 13, 2022
John 8: 1-11
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.

3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group

4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”

6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.

7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.

10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
Christianity EtcRe: Does the Bible imply that Believing In Jesus Authomatically Makes OneSaved? by SPTruth(op): 9:00am On Feb 06, 2022
Steep:
nah madam you just believe no works added.
Faith in Jesus plus nothing is what saves.
Having faith in Jesus plus no work is equal to the third servant who buried his talent(matt 25:14), to the fig tree who bore no fruits. Having faith in Jesus will produce fruits some a 100fold, some 200fold. Works are a product(fruits) of Faith in the Lord. If your Faith in the Lord is not producing good works, then there's an error some where. Remember the Word pf God says in 2 Cor 5:10, For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
However, I am saying all these because I think what you mean by works is doing righteous deeds, please don't be offended if I mistook your statement.

everythinggirly:
I don't think so. One has to observe the commandments and exercise faith in him to be saved. Only believing and making him personal lord and savior makes you nothing.
thanks for your contribution, kindly make out time to read the post, and you certainly will be blessed.
Christianity EtcDoes the Bible imply that Believing In Jesus Authomatically Makes OneSaved? by SPTruth(op):
Yes, believing in Jesus makes one saved, for it is written in Romans 10:9
[9]Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

But what does it really mean to Believe?
The Amplified Bible puts it in the best way, Romans 10:9

[9]Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Believing means adhering to, trusting in and relying on Jesus Christ. Believing is not a one-off event rather it is a continuous event. Believing is not what should be done once only in the crusade ground or by the church altar where you gave your life to Christ. It is to be done everyday and the fruits are to be evident in our lives. When you give your life to Jesus, and believe in Him, the Holy Spirit will take charge of your Life. When you declare that Jesus is your Lord, you mean He is your President, Oga, Commander of your life. You are making a statement to the world that it is Jesus that you will obey not the world or the devil. For it is written, he who you obey, that is he who is your master. When you Believe in Jesus, you obey his commands in extension showing you love Him. Even when you err, you will be quick to run back to His feet and ask the Father for forgiveness of sins through His Son Jesus Christ, and also ask for the Grace not to sin again, and He is faithful to answer your requests.

God is calling us today to Believe in Him not with mouthy talks but through our actions. Let us ask Him for the Grace to refuse to take bribes, commit sexual immorality, tell lies, and indulge in other vices because we believe in Him.

God wants you today to Believe that your help doesn't come from stealing, lying or fornication, but it comes from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth.

May The Holy Spirit of God continue to guide our hearts and lead us to the point of believing and relying totally on Jesus.
RomanceRe: Are You Tired Of Fornication, Masturbation, And Other Sexual Sins ? Get In Here by SPTruth(op): 9:45pm On Feb 05, 2022
All unrighteousness is sin. Flee from any form of unrighteousness. It doesn't matter how old you're. Even if you are at the brink of your youth. Your body remains the temple of the the Most High God and shouldn't be defiled by throwing a party of demons in it all in the name of sexual immorality.

Be Holy just as your Heavenly Father is Holy. We have been called to live a life of Holiness and purity. Holiness in all things including not participating in sexual immorality. There seems to be a strategy from the enemy to infiltrate the world with immorality. From the movies, adverts, songs, videos, pattern of dressing out there, screams and shouts lust.
God is seeking young teenagers, men and women who He will use to raise a standard in this generation. People who won't bow to the lust generating machine of this world, but will give their lives to genuine holiness and purity.

Has the Holy Spirit been laying it in your heart to repent? Perhaps, you are one of those who He has chosen as a standard in this generation. Now, not tomorrow is the time to go before the Heavenly Father and beg Him to forgive you your sins on the Name of Jesus. He is ever willing to do so.

Don't let the devil deceive you. Committing sexual immorality doesn't make you a big girl/boy. It won't make you have good friends and your getting married to the right person is not dependent on fornication. Our Help comes from the Lord who made Heaven and Earth not from fornication or adultery, not from lustful company or vulgar words.

May the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ speak for us all in Jesus name, Amen.
Christianity EtcParable Of The Fig-tree by SPTruth(op): 6:16am On Jan 30, 2022
Luke 13:6-9
6 Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.

7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’

8 “ ‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.

9 If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’ ”

Happy Sunday everyone and it feels good to have you on this thread. In the Gospel reading above, we are hit by the reality of been a tree in the hands of the creator.
The Fig tree represents each and everyone of us, the owner is God while the gardener is the Gospel.
We are posed with a very important question, Are you bearing fruits for the Lord, or not?

What are you doing every day, month or year for the Gospel, humanity and for Jesus?

Every single person has a gift from God that He expects us to minister unto others, but unfortunately many of us are carried away by this rat race called life and we think our cause for been alive is to work hard, eat, die and pass on our properties to our kids. Humans like Apostle Paul, Mother Theresa, St Francis de Assisi, Kathryn Kulman, Archbishop Benson Idahosa, have carved a niche of themselves in history because of the good fruits they bore in their lifetime.

There are several ways you could bear fruits for God, e.g ensuring you give a certain amount of the money to the poor, widows, orphans, destitutes or church every month no matter how small, volunteering unselfishly as a member of a church choir, sanctuary keepers etc, preaching to others, even creating preaching notes on whatsapp and sending them out.

How do I find out what God wants me to do
Take it to the Lord in prayers. And say from your heart, Lord what would you have me do? What fruit do you want me to bear? And the Good Lord, who answers prayers will lead you along the right path.

At times, the answer to your prayers can be connected to the fact that you are not bearing any fruit. The fig tree probably thought its very green leaves were the source of its existence, unknown to it there are others who determine whether it continues to live or not. Same with many of us, who think our source of sustenance is our job, family, riches, certifications etc. While, all these are good, our sustenance still comes from the Lord, the owner of the vineyard. Hezekiah got saved from death in 2 Kings 16 and had his life extended by 15yrs because he built a temple for the Lord.
The widows in Acts 9 prayed for Dorcas to be brought back to life because of the fruits she bore towards them and God answered their prayers. Bearing much fruit can bring to us graces and blessings we could never give to ourselves, and most importantly, a prize in Heaven. The best time to begin to bear fruits is not tomorrow or next week but today and now. Imagine how blessed the world would be if each and everyone of us were working hard to bear good fruit. No matter how insignificant you think it is, it will change souls.

May Jehovah open our eyes to the reality that we need to bear good fruits from today in Jesus name, Amen
Christianity EtcRe: Praying Through Mary Is Biblical And A Faster Means by SPTruth: 9:40am On Jan 17, 2022
Odoctor:
Mary is in heaven. So she can intercede for us.

Christianity predated the bible.
lol, I was a legionary for more than 10yrs, so I know how it feels like to be blinded from the truth. There is nothing anyone will tell you that can convince you aside the workings of the Holy Spirit. Saying that church tradition and history has more authority than the Word of God which can never change even if heaven and hell passes away is the normal brainwashing tool. Meanwhile, Jesus quoted psalm 91 and Deut when He was tempted by Jesus. Jesus also read from the Book of Isaiah when he was in the synagogue. So the Holy Scriptures especially the OT predates Christianity.
Christianity EtcRe: Praying Through Mary Is Biblical And A Faster Means by SPTruth: 10:35pm On Jan 16, 2022
Odoctor:
No problem. That doesn't mean that those through Mary are wrong.

And make sure you don't ask for prayers from your pastors.
The scriptures say that the effectual, heartfelt, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:16). You can ask your priest, charismatic prayer warrior etc, to Pray or intercede for you, it is allowed. As far as the person is a human being flesh, bones and blood. The can person can pray to Our Father through Jesus on your behalf. St. Paul frequently asked believers to pray for Him.(ROM 15:30-32, 1 Cor 1:10-11) He never for once told Steven or James that were dead before He wrote the epistles to pray for him. But, once the person is dead, you are not allowed to communicate with the spirit. It is referred to as necromancy which is forbidden by God.
Christianity EtcRe: Praying Through Mary Is Biblical And A Faster Means by SPTruth: 10:12pm On Jan 16, 2022
What you quoted, is the Gospel reading of today and it has nothing to do with "praying to Mary". Jesus been God, did not commit any sin on earth, the scripture says ,Honor your father and mother, Jesus had to obey because he can't sin, so He had to obey her as per earthly son to earthly mother. Presently, Jesus has been Glorified and He is sitted far above principalities and powers. Before He left, He clearly stated that all prayers should be said to The Father in His name. Read your entire Bible, there is no place where those that were alive prayed to those that were dead or to angels. Even Saul lost his life for communicating with the spirit of Samuel. That something seems "fast" doesn't make it right, asking for a solution from mammy water can even be faster. I will rather stick to the timing of God than sin against Him. God told Moses to speak to the rock and water will gush out, Moses went and struck the rock twice, and guess what? Even despite the disobedience, water still gushed out. And, he was punished for it, a punishment he wouldn't have received if only he had obeyed. So, results is not what counts in the Kingdom of God, it is total Obedience to the Word of God. May the Good God who saved me open the eyes of your understanding. Amen.
CrimeRe: My Story As A Cult Member........initiation Phase Included... by SPTruth: 4:31pm On Jan 16, 2022
saynotocultism:
Merry Christmas and a prosperous NEW year ahead my People.

Thank you so much enthronedbyGOD1


I was at home on the 18th of december with my family .I was feeling dizzy so i told my wife i need to go and rest in the bedroom. Immediately i fell asleep on my bed, i saw my self being chased by about 7 hefty men. They caught up with me and tied my hands and legs to a tree.


SO NA YOU GO DEY REASON MEN MATTER ABI ? HAND DON TOUCH YOU.

They brought out something that looks like a liquid and gave me to drink. I woke up and couldn't move my feet and my body was totally paralyzed. It was stroke. My wife came in and saw my eyes open but i couldn't talk, she got close to me and asked if i was OK but i couldn't even move. She started crying and calling pastor and my mum. I fell back asleep and i saw my self in the same place . I saw the guys again and they started leaving the forest and screaming AYEE AXXE MEN hand don touch am. they left completely and then i saw someone in front of me and the person was putting on a hood . The person untied me and i got up and what was written on the hood was "enthronedbyGOD" . I woke up and i was relieved and regained my self. Pastor came in and i said i am fine that i was just weak.

May God forgive me: I immediately went to the market and purchased a black Hen and some items and sent back the stroke. I woke up in the morning and i got the confirmation as the hen was already paralyzed. YOU THAT GAVE ME THAT STROKE, THAT IS YOUR END .

You could all remember when i warned you all sometime ago that cultism is becoming more deadly because gone are the days when one group is more armed than the other group. Now as long as you have money, you can buy deadly firearms.

@Cultistupdate i dont know why you waste your time arguing with people and distracting yourself from the main purpose of saying no to cultism . You should understand that you have to go the extra mile to do this. Please show us more videos, upload graphic content. If you can get the videos to spill blood n our computer and phone screens, please do. I have enough wiper to wipe out the blood to keep on viewing more graphic content . All you cultist threatening him, if anything happens to him, you will get the message in a hard way and if you continue in cultism and you die like a DOG, he will upload your video. I am even angry because the video of the "pennnnis cutting" is not clear enough, i think the guy was covering the cap. please do more and show more as this is the only was to pass the message to their blocked head to saynotocultism.

As we enter the NEWyear, we should be more careful with who we mingle with. watch your loved ones and monitor who they also mingle with.

I WISH YOU ALL WELL AND HOPE WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO ARCHIEVE A CULTISM FREE SOCIETY.
. That first vision of someone telling you about death was the very first attack. It was done to sow the seeds of death. I thank God for raising someone like enthronedbyGod. He has been a blessing to many here.
Christianity EtcRe: My Crossover Experience In A Popular Nigerian Church by SPTruth(op):
All Glory be to Almighty God and to Our Lord Jesus Christ, for allowing us to see a new year. I also thank Him for the likes of our brother Ocholu who spent the crossover with the Lord. Inspite of his glorious testimony as shared on this thread,https://www.nairaland.com/6918954/cross-over-experience-popular-nigerian , I would love to correct a notion. In Christianity, there's no such a thing as be yourself, Jesus loves you how you are. No, Jesus didn't come to this world, to suffer, have nails driven into his palms, to wear a crown of thorns, to be whipped severally, to be insulted and ultimately, to die (John 18,19) for us to be dressing as we want, living in sin and just remembering Him in cross over services. The hallmark of the sacrifice of Jesus (Christianity) is Transformation from the Adam man(flesh) to a Spirit-filled Christian. If the only difference between someone who calls himself a believer and an atheist is the fact that you go to church on Sundays and crossover services, then, there's something wrong with that version of Christianity. Jesus died for us to have the Holy Spirit living in us (Rom 8:9), that is what differentiates us from every other religion ,belief and faith on earth. A Christian has God living inside him. That is the sum total of Christianity and the Bible. That is why, we are called the Temple(building, house, mansion)of the Holy Spirit( 1 Cor 6:19). And, that is the Complete Gospel. The work of the Holy Spirit In us is for: Holiness, Sanctification, Renewal of the mind and Transformation. We are called to be Holy as our heavenly Father is Holy, (Matt 5:48, 1 Peter 1:18)
We are Sanctified by the Blood of the Lamb that was shed on the Cross of Calvary (Heb 10:10), We are not to be conformed to this World, but our minds are to be renewed constantly by the Holy Spirit, who makes us to know we are Victors over sin, bondage of the devil and the flesh,(Eph 6:23) and we are transformed in character from a sinful person, full of selfish and evil desires to one who becomes to think like how Jesus was thinking when He was flesh on earth.(Gal 4:19)
Does Jesus "love" a sinner? Well, Yes, especially sinners who have not been to a church or heard the true Gospel, but His heart burns with sorrow when he sees supposed Christians in church making a mockery of His sacrifice by living in sin. Jesus hated the works of the woman he called Jezebel in the Church of Thyatira because she was committing sexual immorality and eating the food offered to idols and teaching others to do same (Rev 2:23). Jesus also deliberated on spitting the entire Church of Laodicea because they were lukewarm.(Rev 3:16). So, yes, you can be in a Church, but your acts and your works can be an abomination before Jesus. If you truly love Jesus, you should be bothered about how he views you. Thanks.

FLEE FROM SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Every other sin you commit is done outside the body, but the sin of sexual immorality is done with the body, with the unity of the mind and the debasing of your spirit. Know ye not that you are the temple of the Holy Spirit and He lives in you? Why then do you defame His Temple and House (your body) by making it a playground for seducing spirits and every Tom, Dick and Harry. Yes, staying off sexual immorality and living in sexual purity is still very possible in our time, Jesus did it many years ago, and the same Spirit that dwelled in Jesus is still available today and is very willing to help you live in purity as Jesus did.
Christianity EtcRe: Am I Filled With The Holy Ghost Or What Is Happening. by SPTruth:
No, you are not filled with the Holy Spirit but a demonic spirit. I really feel sorry to tell you this because I sense your genuine love for God. The Bible says when the Spirit comes, He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. When you get filled with the Holy Spirit, you will love the Bible, Jesus, prayers like never before. The hunger will be near insatiable. The scriptures will be like 3d to you, very clear and understandable. The Holy Spirit will make you read the Bible for hours and most times your heart will be burning as He will be explaining the scriptures to you. The peace you will receive is immeasurable, that peace that no one can take away from you. He will give you the ability to speak in tongues and pray for long hours. Brother, I will advise you go for deliverance at MFM, Christ embassy, RCN, Koinoinia or any good deliverance church close to you. And for the umpteenth time, everyone should stay away from T.b Joshua. He was working with the marine spirit of divination. I'm tired of seeing people possessed because of ignorance. God has seen your heart. He will set you free. If you are loking for genuine preachers to follow on youtube, follow, Apostle Arome Osayi (highly recommended), Apostle Joshua Selman, Apostle Micheal Orokpo, Apostle Edu Udechukuwu, Gideon Odoma.
Christianity EtcThe Solution To Sexual Immorality by SPTruth(op): 7:10am On Nov 14, 2021
SOLUTION TO SEXUAL IMMORALITY
God placed two trees in the centre of the Garden, east of Eden, the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. He told Man, that he could eat of all the trees in the garden including the Tree of Life, but shouldn't eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, but Adam chose to disobey and ate of that tree, hence he fell, and became a man of the flesh. We who he begot also became like him, men of the flesh. To redeem man back to his original state, He sent His Son to come on earth and model the perfect man, the real Adam that God wanted. And, Jesus was able to achieve this with the Agency of the Holy Spirit which was abiding in Him, hence becoming the first man since the fall to have the Holy Spirit dwelling in Him. Jesus died, resurrected and ascended into Heaven. When He was Glorified by the Father and took His rightful place, He prayed the Father and Jesus, poured out that same Holy Spirit on all flesh. That same Holy Spirit, which is God, that lived in Jesus is still in the world today and it is only when you allow Him to dwell in you that you can truly overcome sexual immorality. Some people have tried to use soulish ways like meditations, yoga etc to try to overcome it, such systems will fail when these dark, unclean spirits are out for your soul, because you cannot battle spirits with soul energy, rather such a battle can only be won by the Power of the Highest Spirit.
Hence, we are back to the initial arrangement in the Garden of Eden. God has placed before us His Holy Spirit and Flesh, Life and Death, choose Life today that you may live. It is only by the Power of the Holy Spirit that you can overcome sexual immorality. Allow Him to dwell in you and lead you towards the right path, for the Spirit quickeneth but the flesh profiteth nothing. Your spirit is like a one - room apartment, a spirit must live there. If the Holy Spirit isn't living there something else, like spirits of sexual immorality etc, will live there. It can't be empty, at least, not for a long while. When you accept Jesus into your life and begin to have faith in Him, repent of your sins, get baptised with water, then, get baptised with the Holy Spirit, the strongmen (unclean spirits) that have been habitating in your spirit, will be bound and cast out, then the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, will come and live in you. He will direct your path and teach you.
For most people, some thoughts will begin to come, trying hard to seduce you to fall back to sexual immorality. Herein lies the good news, the unclean spirits sponsoring those thoughts are no longer in possesion of your soul ( they are not inside you), for your body is now the temple of the Holy Spirit. They are outside of you, trying to place thoughts to seduce and make you go back to your vomit. If you find yourself in this type of situation, pray to God and relate your problems to Him as you would your father and follow the leadings of the Holy Spirit. He will direct you through the best spiritual exercise for you. He could direct you to a deliverance session in the Name of Jesus either personal or through a deliverance minister, he could gradually subject you to a series of Prayers, Fasting and Reading the Bible, introducing you to good books and sermons, new friends and even a new church or fellowship, as you can carry. All you have to do is obey and fix your eyes on Jesus the Author and finisher of your faith. Don't remove your eyes from Him like Peter and notice the storm, just gaze upon Him, for He that started a thing in your life will be faithful to finish it.

LIFE AFTER YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT
The life after the infilling of the Holy Spirit is a life of freedom, joy, peace and righteousness. For most people, they begin to ask what have they been doing all their lives and missing out on the great things been a part of the Kingdom of Heaven can give you. Your prayer life becomes improved, when you read the scriptures, the Words become like 3D instead of 2D, you can relate with it through Holy Spirit sponsored revelations. Then, He will begin to teach you and lead you to all truth. Our Father in Heaven becomes real, Jesus becomes very real too. Overtime, those pornographic movies, songs, pictures or people who arouse you will no longer wield such power over you. When you consistently give yourself to God through obedience a gradual exchange begins to take place. Your character is removed and Jesus is replaced in place of your character. Instead of lust, you begin to exhibit genuine love, instead of profane words, you begin to speak scriptures, righteousness and Holiness then begins to express themselves through you. The devil will also fight back, he will throw flashes of lustful images to your thoughts, you might see yourself attempting to sleep with someone in your dreams, then, he will send lots of seducing spirits who will influence your friends, and even strangers to come around and try to seduce you. Your soul is very precious, if it weren't, the enemy won't be so focused in trying to win it. Never trust your flesh, or say, i can control myself. When you begin to witness an intense war to seduce you into sin, run to God in prayer with a broken heart and seek the quickening of the Spirit, because it is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing. It is only the Power of the Holy Spirit that we can overcome.

CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Sexual immorality is a pervasion whose root source is the devil itself. It is made manifest in men through the flesh because of the fall of Adam. Due to the fall of Adam, we who are products of the fall began to act, think and live through the flesh. Adam was made to be like God. He was made to commune regularly with God, in the evenings, God frequents the garden which was the habitation of Adam to play and chat with him, and that is how you and I were designed to be. Before the fall, Adam and Eve were naked and were not ashamed, but they fell, that is, the disobeyed God by eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and evil, they lost their true form. The Genesis account says, when God came in the evening to play with Adam, he was AFRAID so he hid himself so he hid himself because he was naked. When you are naked you are not supposed to hide because you are ashamed, but the unclothedness disobedience brought to Adam made him AFRAID not ASHAMED. Adam was afraid because he lost its true form. Adam was like a bulb with full voltage electricity, glowing and blazing with dazzling light, but when he disobeyed God, he became like a bulb that was disconnected from its source, like a plain bulb that was off.
So it is with us you and I when we commit sexual immorality. Some might argue that it makes one poor, weak etc, but no one can argue about the fact that sexual immorality cuts us off away from God. We were made to be glowing with a dazzling light like Jesus when he transfigured on the mount and was conversing with Moses and Elijah. That is your true identity, that is your true look in the spirit. But, when you begin to involve yourself with sexual immorality, like a bulb, you will begin to go dimmer and dimmer till you light off.

It is one thing to get delivered and another to keep your deliverance. Praying, reading and meditating on the Word of God daily are very effective ways to keep your flesh under control and secure your deliverance from demons of lust. May God help you as you seek His face daily.

1 Corinthians 12:7-12
[7]But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:
[8]for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,
[9]to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
[10]to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
[11]But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. Unity and Diversity in One Body
[12]For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.
May God bless you immensely for this thread. I also feel good knowing I am not the only one experiencing such encounters. What does it mean for ones palms to shake vigorously during prayers? at times both palms or just the right or left palms? Also, please don't destroy your beautiful thread by arguing with that fellow on a mission to destroy your thread. this thread will be referenced by many in years to come, please don't indulge him by replying him, it will spoil the sanctimony of this thread.

If you love me, you will obey my commands. (John 14:15). Obedience is the love language of the spiritual realm. Who you obey is who you love. You can't claim to love Jesus but you obey the commands of the spirits of lust. Choose to obey Jesus today, and He will send His gift of the Holy Spirit upon you to help you obey Him.

10 - To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.

I believe we are in the last days and there's going to be a mighty outpouring of the Spirit of God. This means many Christians are going to be endued with different gifts of the Spirit, and this is what motivated this write up.

The gifts of the Spirit can be divided into 3 categories for better understanding. Good afternoon sir, i am so sorry for my long silence. i am also for using this route to contact you. Please can you send me a message through donnaogbu@gmail.com. i will explain what happened. Thanks sir.

1- The gifts of revelation.
a - Word of knowledge
b - Word of wisdom
c - discerning of spirits.

2- The gifts of power.
a - gift of faith
b - working of miracles
c - gifts of healings

3- The gift of inspiration ( utterance)
a - prophecy
b - diverse kinds of tongues
c - interpretation of tongues.

LIVING TO PLEASE GOD
1 THESSALONIANS 4:3-8
3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.


Submit yourself to the authority of God today and seek to do His Will only.

STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS
Making a stand for righteousness is making a stand with the camp of Jesus. The Grace of Christ Jesus, is not an open check for immorality rather, it is the Grace that gives you that supernatural strength to say a big NO to sexual immorality even when your flesh is weak. As the devil has deployed advanced ways to ensure you bow to the pressures of sexual immorality, i pray for you today, that the Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, will be upon you all the days of your life, to withstand the wiles and tricks of the wicked one.

WAR AGAINST SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Someone might say, how do I go about receiving Jesus? Are my sexual sins not too much for God to forgive? No sexual sin is too grave for God to forgive. The moment the thought of receiving Jesus Christ was conceived in your heart, there begins a battle of God and the devil for your soul. The Spirit of God will always inspire you to pray and seek for forgiveness while the devil will seek ways to convince you that your efforts will be futile. This is a call to rebel against the devil and his tricks. Make the best decision of your life by accepting Jesus today. Jesus loves you.

If the maiden with the spirit of divination in Acts 16 was a Nigerian, all she had to do is share rice on social media and t.v and she will be Nigeria's greatest prophetess.

Christianity EtcRe: Before I Commit Suicide, Please Advise. by SPTruth: 8:30am On Aug 20, 2021
soulsearcher112:
This will be a lengthy but interesting read but I’ll do my best to shorten it. please take your time to read and advise accordingly.

Mods, kindly move to front page as this might help save a life.

My journey started just after I got my Bsc. I was fortunate enough to get a very well paying job, then I got a car, nice apartment and I asked my family (mother & siblings) to move in with me. Please note my dad is late also I’m the only son among 4 girls and the last child as well. Shortly after they moved in, I bought my mother a car. Then another for myself and invested in some side hustle.

Just about a year later my life started falling apart. I lost the job, my side hustles fell apart and things went bad to the point I had to sell one of my cars to keep up. During this period, I used to have all sorts of weird dreams, random people walking up to me to tell me to be prayerful, a particular incident happened when the wife to a friend of mine told her husband (my friend) that she was given a message in church about me to be prayerful to avert death.

At this point, I started putting more effort into the spiritual aspect of my life. I was advised to leave my house for sometime which I heeded and I was living with a friend. I couldn’t pay the rent anymore so I asked my fam to move back to my dad’s house which is a family house. I sold almost everything but my second car. Then a prophet told me to fast dry for 7 days that at the end of the 7th day, whoever was behind my predicament will be struck by an illness that would render the person incomplete/disabled or whatever for the rest of their lives.

So I embarked on this fast with half-mind hoping for the best. I did this with serious prayers and also alms-giving. At the end of the 7th day, just as I was having my first sumptuous meal for about a week, I received a call that my mother just had a stroke and was being rushed to the hospital. I was immediately destabilized to the point I wore different pairs of shoes when rushing down to the hospital. On my way was when I remembered the prophecy and my 7 days fast but I kept it together and got to the hospital, gave the necessary support financially and physically and dedicated the next 2 months to my mom going back and forth to the hospital everyday.

All this while, everything kept replaying in my head. Now I reflected back on history and I remembered certain things that happened which I didn’t pay much attention to;

My mother used to always demand money from me excessively and wasn’t considerate with spendings. E.g I once caught her over billing me for my nephews fees which I was responsible for and several other similar situations. But the love I had for her made me over look all that. Also back when I was getting death messages, I had 2 car accidents and 1 domestic accident but I came out without a scratch each time surprisingly (after a lot of spiritual waka oh).

To cut the long story short, after she got out of the hospital and taken home, I was still responsible for physio treatment and all that because she could barely do anything herself anymore. All these kickstarted my spiritual journey especially on enlightening myself how life works spiritually. Then I made a drastic decision, I cut my entire family off and left the country. Poof! I just disappeared.. only a friend and my ex-gf of several years who I both trusted knew my whereabouts.

That happened several years ago, now I took that decision because I was doing a lot of spiritual consulting and imagine nothing less than 10 people kept saying the same thing, pointing fingers to my mother. Note this people don’t know each other but they all kept saying the same things. I sat and had deep thoughts about even some of her previous actions which I listed earlier, also my sisters werent doing well in their individual lives, no husbands, several kids from diff fathers, no proper jobs etc. all that motivated me to just leave and rediscover myself. It was so bad at some point when I pray and fast fervently for days, I used to see her in my dreams in similar settings to covens we see in Afro cinema movies.

Now since I cut everybody off, my life has greatly improved financially but not like it used to be. However, from time to time things become challenging and after I seek spiritual help, they improve somewhat. I’ve been to several countries within the last few years and they have no idea where I am or have been. Now lately, I’ve been hearing from sources she has been reporting me to everybody and anybody I’m a bad son, I sold the car I bought for her, blah blah, painting me bad etc. She’s also currently blind at the moment.

Now my predicament is, the last few months have been really tough for me. I can barely cater for myself and being in overseas, bills have become hard to even pay. I see my friends and how they have close families and all and these tears me apart. I had nothing but love for mine but that love ruined me and almost cost my life. Right now I’m weak from fighting all these battles over the years; mentally, spiritually, emotionally and sometimes I just feel like giving up and ending it all. I need help and being Sagittarius, I don’t know how to ask for help directly, I’m built to handle things on my own. Right now even if it’s someone who has had a similar experience and overcame his or her battles to prosper, I’ll appreciate anything, an advise, prayer etc. before I loose it completely. Matured minds only please, critics are equally welcomed to contribute. Thanks and God bless!

You need to receive Jesus into your life. I don't want to scare you, but, there are some spiritual things you should never mix together, you can't be doing deep Christian exercises like dry fasting and going for "spiritual consultations" (whatever that means), calling yourself a sagittarius (astrology) and worse, you might be sharing a strong blood link with an assumed witch. The spirits of depression and suicide ( which can come from witchcraft oppression or because you consulted spiritualist) has already started trailing you. Your best bet from here is to run to Jesus.

John 8:36, Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

You can be free from the spirit of masturbation, prostitution, homosexuality, fornication, adultery, pornography, incest, bestiality, indecent dressing and all manner of sexual depravity, if you can receive Jesus Christ of Nazareth into your hearts today. Jesus was beaten with whips, humiliated, had his beards pulled, a crown of thorns was shoved into His Precious Head, stripped off His garments, still carried a heavy wooden cross, had huge nails pass through his palms, and eventually died. Imagine the pains, the sufferings. He didn't pass through all these pains for Holy people, for none is righteous in the sight of God, He passed through them for sinners just like you. His sufferings are not in vain. All you have to do is call upon His name to be saved. His Precious Blood is like the blood of the animals that was applied on the doors of the Isrealites in Egypt , when the angel of death came, it saw the blood and passed over (Exodus 12:13-28). Apply the Blood of Jesus on your hearts today, when the spirits of sexual immorality, death and destruction see the Blood on your hearts they will pass away. Remember, Jesus loves you. He is calling you today, listen to His Voice and harden not your hearts.(Heb 3:15)

WAR AGAINST SEXUAL SINS
Good morning to you all,
Special words of encouragement to those trying to desist from sexual sins. When you begin to consciously commit sin, you introduce a demonic spirit into your life. This spirit uses the sin as a legal right to justify its existence in you. At first, it will seem as if you're committing a sin by your will, till you notice you can't help but commit that sin. It will seem as if something came over you and you can't help but masturbate, or commit fornication, or worse, rape someone. When you begin to experience these symptoms, it means the activity is now under the full influence of a demonic spirit. Your will has been stripped off you and you must obey only the commands of the spirit. When you notice that no matter how hard you try, you just can't stop masturbating, it means you are under the influence of a demonic spirit. The only remedy if you want to be free, is to use the Power of the strongest Spirit which is the Holy Spirit to break the chains of the lesser demonic spirits. It takes a spirit to fight a spirit. And, yes, you can be free. Many have been freed and more will still get their freedom.

Freedompls:
Pls pardon any error in the write-up...

I never believed that a day would come when I would be writing something like this,but the truth is that it's a reality I can't deny anymore,it started around April 2019,on that particular day,I was alone,somehow I started feeling lonely and then decided to download some porn to watch(it would end up being a decision I honestly wished I never made),after downloading the porns,I started watching and in the process started playing with my manhood,till I reach organism, immediately after,i cried bitterly as I was battling this level of condemnation that I have never felt before within,since then I have constantly be masturbating sometimes once every week even after promiseing myself that I would never do that again..I have tried everything I can to stop masturbating but none has worked for me as I found myself back into the same act after a while,the longest I have gone without doing that was a month and some days.i have tried to read many articles on Google and here on nairaland but none has been able to help me out of it.i have also discovered that I often forget things quickly these day unlike before I got into the act and things always turn out ugly for me financially after engaging in this act.... please any advices on how to quit this would be appreciated especially from anyone who has been into masturbation and was able to quit it.NOTE I used to leave a life of celibacy and was always happy till I got into this act.
Praise God you have a desire to stop. Next step, is
1. Kneel down and pour out your heart to God, that you love Him and want to stop masturbating but the spirit has held you captive.
2. Tell Him you are sorry and you repent of your sins.
3. Tell Him to come into your heart and be Lord over you.
4. Tell the Holy Spirit to come into your life and fill you. (If you can say number 4 everyday, please do. Masturbation is fueled by a demonic spirit, it is only a more powerful spirit that can destroy it). Gradually, the Holy Spirit will begin to guide you into all truth.
He will lead you to a church or person to do deliverance. He will lead you to online sermons of preachers like Apostle Joshua Selman and Apostle Arome Osayi that will teach you how to live the Spirit-filled life without struggles.
He will teach you how to pray and the best time to pray. Then, you will be completely free.
You are welcome to the best adventure of your life.
Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Phillipians 1:6)
