We are all going to hell

don't sound negative, seek Jesus now that you are alive so that you can gain enternal life(heaven). God love your.

Nuttella:
A lot of people go to church empty and void, they still leave the church empty and void, the word of the Lord bears no fruit in them, they have no hunger for the things of God, they are just void and empty every sunday.

Something must be wrong somewhere, its either from the preacher or from the people themselves and it really needs to be tackled.

It's because they've been occupied by the cares and problem of the world, if they can put God first and seek him more. we christians are so familiar with the word of God that we don't take it serious. we all need to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.
Also, some of the preachers are not helping they don't preach sound doctrine of God's Word, they preach for worldly gains and some are not spiritually approved by God.

Can you be so kind to share a bible verse that support your claim. I want to learn.

this are useful verse for your understanding.

Genesis 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Deuteronomy 15:9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.

Proverbs 15:26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

yes bro.. false news and information affect a believer spiritual life. it can lead one into backsliding.
we need to be careful with the information we receive online, media or any platform.

yes! you are on point. also if someone as evil thoughts against others he as sin against God, so let all be mindful of what come to our mind and thought.

Believers that give excuse can not make it to heaven, they make excuse on almost anything from wanting to sleep, get some fun, spent time on not so important things, talk for hours, been entertained and more, when we ought to have use that time to fellowship with God, time to pray, read and study God's word, service to God Almighty e.t.c.
Believer also resist God's direction for earthly benefits. Jesus explained in
Luke 14:15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 14:18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 14:21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 14:24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. 14:25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Even in time of hardship, famine, distress, persecution they tend to neglect God. All this are the little trials the devil uses to trap believers in order to forsake a constant relationship with God.


Our service toward God need to be done sincerely, because we can't approve ourself 2 Corinthians 10:18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

If you've been giving excuses toward God now is the time to ask for his forgiveness through Jesus Christ, make a step to live a life of faithfulness and obedience to God.

Begin born again is when we surrender to Jesus Christ has your lord and saviour through grace by the cleaning blood of Jesus, it is when we believe that is when the process of salvation take place.
if we don't believe them the process of been born again as not taken place.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

there on we live by him and obey is word, commandments and instructions because we are no more of the world and we don't practice sins. therefore we don't live of the flesh but of the
spirit of God (1 John 4 :4; 1 John 3:6 -10)

1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

chatinent:
It takes more than just words.


Do you know Jesus also said that some people will live forever on earth?

the righteous will reign with Jesus in the new earth that is after his second coming.
it take sincerity and determination to serve Jesus, He is the access to eternal life(heaven).

A fervent Christain is someone who is saved by the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus christ and work by faith in the spirit of God. In order to be the Christain God want us to become we have to live in obedience to the word of God, also you have to separate yourself from the world so as not to be influence by it. 1 John 2:15 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. 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

I will outline some points to observe to become a fervent Christain.

Prayer: a christain that does not pray is walking a wrong part for the devil to operate in is life, there is no limit for someone to pray we need to pray always as long as we have the free time, even if you do not have one, create a time to pray.
Prayer and fasting is essential for a believer to push or elevate in the spirit, we need it in order to connect to God, also prayer and fasting is needed to wrestle and over demons, addictions, bondage from satan e.t.c. mark 9: 28,29; Ephesians 6:10-18; 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5.

Fellowship: fellowship with other believers is very important don't say I can serve God on my own if you think or follow that way you will lack spiritual improvement in working with God. Get a Bible believing chruch that preach the sound doctrine of salvation, holiness, sanctification e.t.c.
Also commune with like minded believer of faith to the word of God. In Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 2:43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 2:44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 2:45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 2:46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. 2 corinthain 6: 14; 1 john 1: 1-7.

Reading the Bible: for you to growth spiritually you need to read, meditate and practice the word of God. the word of God is for our example, correction, instruction and the purpose of God for our life. The more you read and obey the word of God the more you growth spiritually in wisdom and understanding.
2 Timothy 2:15, Psalm 1 : 1-3; psalm 119:130; Joshua 1:8.

Will of God: this is when we are obedience to God's word and instructions, it is also the standard of holiness in a believers life. Paul the apostle walk with God and was obedience to God despite trials, persecution, tribulation and so on, he stood for the truth and preach the word of God. Acts 26: 13-20; 1 Corinthians 1: 1-27; Romans 8: 1-14.


Praise and Worship: it is very important we add praise and worship in our every day life to God Almighty it make God move in a mighty way, also when we praise God we are equally thanking Him for is goodness, blessing, wonders and more.
In time of trials, persecution, distress and problem, praise and worship to God relieve us from situation we find ourself.
Acts 16: 22-26; 1 Peter 1: 6-8; judges 5: 1-3; Exodus 15: 1-12.


This is an inclusion: anger, bitterness, hatred, murmur,
Derogative words to the church of God, people or your neighbors; sinful addiction, sinful mindset and those things that you think don't matter but are sinful can interrupt your access or connection with God. stay blessed and we are able to overcome don't be discouraged, distracted we will make it to heaven.

This is a short message and i believe it as help answer the question of many who seek answers.One way to be what God desire us to become is when we surrender to the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by repenting from our sin. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

The end of the world is closer than we think and we all need to take the events of the last days serious, Jesus Christ talked about the events of the last days before the rapture of the saints. (Luke 21:23 - 28)
Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

We should see the signs as a warning of the coming of Christ and every person should prepare for his coming. men are becoming lovers of themself, false preachers, pastors and prophets deceiving many people, disasters happening in different places, different kind of diseases, all this and more are the manifestation. ( Matthew 7:15; Matthew 24:11 - 14; Matthew 24: 4 - 8 )
Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

The Carnal things of this world has taken our focus away from God because all we think is of the world, wanting to achieve all our goals in life while we forget God's gift which is Jesus Christ who was curcify so that we can achieve eternal life.
1 John 2:15 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. 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Some of us may choice to accept or discard the truth but still those who discard fail to realise the signs are been fulfilled. ( Number 14:11; Revelation 9:17 - 21 )

if you've gone astray or a sinner, come to is abode and dedicate yourself & be sincere to Jesus Christ for him to redeem you from sin,surrender at the foot of the cross.He is always ready.

True Story: How God Saved Me From The Addiction Of Masturbation And Pornography

Masturbation is an immoral, unclean and a sinful act before God, I was in the bondage of mastrubation for over 10 years without overcoming the sin. Genesis 38:8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. 38:9 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 38:10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. It was a secret sin & my friends and family never knew that I was practicing the immoral act, during the period I tried engaging myself into activities that will make me forget or lose desire to it but none worked out, it came a time I determine to stop the immoral act but what happened was it only reduce for a while and I went back to the act fully.

Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 12:44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. 12:45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. I mastrubated for two, three or four times a day, sometimes I go rounds on mastrubation; pornography videos was my right-hand man because it aid the addiction.

I had always wanted to overcome the act of mastrubation because I knew it was killing me slowly, excess mastrubation causes joint pain, sex-organ pain and infection. At that time I always pray a short pray to God to deliver me from the power of mastrubation, sometimes I use to give up and say... (mehn you no fit overcome this thing, don't bother looking for solution).

One faithful day on early January 2020 I just made up my mind to give God a try... At that point I gave my life to Christ Jesus with a sincere heart and prayed long.. After the prayer I felt a vibration on my body, at that time the spirit of God ministered to me to avoid worldliness or any thing that will bring immorality in my heart. From then on I started reading the Bible and praying more. Since over a month I haven't gone into mastrubation & pornography videos.(Roman 12:1-3 )

The act of mastrubation is a sinful boundage, even if you use any tragedy to battle it you will end up going back either days or weeks later. If God can show me love & mercy he his always ready...

If you are in any boundage of sin Jesus Christ is always ready to save...

Submit yourself to Jesus with all sincerity (not half hearted) and he will break those boundage in your life.

how will i restitute for cheating in my ssce ,years ago , please i need help with biblical verse,thank you

you need to inform the waec authority that you cheated in your ssce exam & you want to restitute, it is up to them...what is most important is that you have a free conscience (numbers 5: 6-8 ).

Ricodine:
Can one restitute without having to confess the offence to the individual? For instance, a person steals from someone because he's broke. After a year or so, he gives back to the person indirectly and more in measure. Does this act imply restitution?

the person needs to know about the offence even if you pay indirectly.

Restitution is a process of compensation for loss or injury. in other words, making amend for wrongs done to people or neighbor, restorating stolen thing to there rightful owner, paying debt, giving back to where one as defrauded, apologizing to those hurt or slandered so as to have a conscience free from offence toward God and man. Luke 19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 19:9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, for so much as he also is a son of Abraham. Acts 24:16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. (Numbers 5:6-8; Genesis 20:1-18; leviticus 6:1-7; Matthew 5:23,24).

Making restitution ensures we have right relationship with God and man, God requires that we make amends to any person we've injured or wronged as a mark of true repentance. There is need for Christians to be ready to do restitution either by offends or Human error of judgement.
Do you have any pressing need for restitution, do you have a free conscience, it's up to you. pray too God to assist you in order to make your ways right before God and man.

how do you know that this persecution of saint was going to happen in the future?
Did that scripture says anywhere that it was going to happen in the future?

Well, on the contrary see when Jesus says all the things he was talking about in Matthew 24 is going to happen.

Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

That's what he told them. That, that their generation of 2000 years ago will not past until all those things are fulfilled.

Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. In clarification, the previously listed signs will continue to multiply throughout the church age and reach their ultimate climax at the end of the age in the generation of those who will live to see the entire matter fulfilled in their lifetime.

paxonel:
but the great tribulation mentioned by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24:21 happened as at the time before Jesus was crucified as suggested in the bible, that was about over 2000 years ago?

You people are saying rapture will take place only God knows when?

I don't get it

Jesus was explaining future event that will take place after the rapture, the great tribulation explained in Matthew 24:21 talked about the event that will happen after the rapture of the saints.
in Matthew13:21; the tribulation that was explained in that passage was persecution, this were persecution of saints who uphold & preach the word of God.

paxonel:
You say wetin? When did you say the great tribulation is taking place? Is it in the future or it has taken place already?

it will commence after the rapture of the Saints.

The great Tribulation his the experience of events that will happen after the rapture of the Saints, it also show the horrors & manifestation of satan, the anit-christ and the power of darkness of this present evil world; Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.

At that time the anti-christ will take possession of the world super-powers and will reign with terror, oppose to the word of Jesus christ and comply the world population to receive the mark of the beast; Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

While the tribulation continued, in heaven the Saints will be with Jesus at the marriage supper of the lamb; [b]Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great LovePeddler, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 19:6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The great tribulation is an event that as not been experienced from the beginning of the world to this time of God's grace & mercy, (Matthew 24:21). it's a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of wastness and desolation, a time of trouble. It's a time when unbelievers prayer will not be answered by God, (Matthew 25: 1-13; Luke 13: 25-27). The great tribulation will take off after the rapture of the Saints of God and will last for seven years, it will end at the second coming of Jesus Christ when he will alights at the mount olives, (1 Thessalonians 4:14-18; Zechariah 14:4; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; revelation 19:11-16; 20:4,5).

There is time for repentance now, the door of mercy is still open don't start repenting when it is closed. Come to Jesus to be your Lord and personal saviour if you are unrighteous, unholiness & sinful...He is always ready.

As a believer in Christ Jesus we face different situation of life both of physical & spiritual and we need to be ready at all time.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Since we have Christ's mark of righteousness & holiness,the devil is fighting believers & at this point of spiritual battle we need to avoid the material pleasure of this world; 1 John 2:15 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. 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Satan & his angels control the activities of this world & he uses it at is disposal to bring a righteous believer to sin.

The word of God should go together with prayer if we're to overcome the battle of this world,many Christians don't let the word of God to sink or have a place in there heart thereby letting the devil to plant falsehood; Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

If you are consecrated to God that's a good sign that you are on the path of God & he know what his children are passing through; Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 2:10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. but if you know you've gone astray(away from God's love) come to is abode and dedicate yourself to Jesus Christ for him to redeem you from sin.
God love you and he will never leave you even if you think he is gone away...surrender at the foot of the cross.He is always ready.
