Hotonions:You receive the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of hands by those who have the authority. 1Timothy4.14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery 2 Timothy 1.66 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands Acts 6.66 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them So you need the laying on of hands from the right person and after the gift of the Holy Ghost is bestowed upon you, you need to receive in faith and live a life worthy of the spirit's presence |
Which one is church dropout again. If we tell u our problems would u solve them? |
I noticed that the call or prayer for Holy Ghost fire is greatest in Nigeria and spreading to other African Christians. European and American Christian's are not much into it. Is the Holy Ghost fire thing a 9ja thing or is it a Christian thing? |
So a lot if Christian's talk about a time when all the good guys would be raptured to heaven while the bad would remain on earth to be tortured by the devil. I just did a bible research only to find out that nothing of such is mentioned in the bible. Please could anyone help with bible verses that talk about this. Note... people usually refer to Matthew 24.40-42 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken..... but these really does not tell if it's the rapture of the righteous or the destruction of the wicked. Then others quote 1thessalonians where it talks about the righteous meeting Christ in the sky but we learn from other scripture that Christ is coming back to the earth so they wouldn't remain in the sky. They would have to land after welcoming his in the sky. No single scripture speaks of a time that only Satan and the unrighteous would be in this world. Instead we learn of a time Christ would return and rule. So over to our Nairaland pastors. |

BigSarah:If you know the effect this has on farmers and food production, you wouldn't say so |
Point 9&10 is pure guess work.. You seem to be teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. quote author=Alexgman1 post=95803713]10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE GARDEN OF EDEN 1. Eden was good, but not yet fully glorious. Eden was bright and beautiful, and we tend to think of it in terms of perfection. But rather than thinking of Eden in terms of perfection, we should think of it in terms of potential. Certainly, Eden was pure and pristine, ordered and filled, but the Eden we read about in Genesis 1 and 2 wasn’t yet everything God intended for his creation. It was unsullied but incomplete. From the very beginning, Eden was not meant to be static; it was headed somewhere. We could say there was an eschatology of Eden. God’s intentions for his creation have always been headed toward consummation, toward glory. 2. Eden was abundant, but it wasn’t yet expansive. Genesis 2:8 tells us that on the earth God created, “the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east.” He instructed Adam and Eve to, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth” (Gen 1:28). Clearly there was an expansion project in the works. As Adam and Eve worked and kept the garden, and as they were fruitful and multiplied, Eden would grow beyond its current boundaries, and the glory of Adam and Eve’s royal rule would increase. God’s intention to dwell with a holy people in a holy land could not be thwarted by human sin. 3. Eden was completely good, but it wasn’t completely secure. As good as the original Eden was, it was vulnerable to evil, deception, and even death. This becomes obvious when we consider that Satan inhabited the body of an ordinary serpent and brought death into the pristine garden. In Revelation 21, John takes care to assure us that this will not happen in the greater garden to come. It will be utterly secure. “Nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life,” (Rev. 21:27). 4. Eden had a rhythm of work and then rest, but not yet unending rest. God did his work of creation, and then he rested. In his rest, God was setting before Adam something to look forward to when he accomplished his work of subduing the earth, exercising dominion over it, and filling it with image bearers. Had Adam faithfully finished the work, he and Eve and their offspring would have entered into a permanent Sabbath rest. 5. Adam and Eve were made in the image of God, but not yet as glorious as God intended. David wrote about the first man, “You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor” (Ps. 8:5). Clearly Adam and Eve, having been made in God’s image had a measure of his glory. Had they obeyed, they would have been transformed from one degree of glory to another. “Transformed from one degree of glory to another” has always been and still remains God’s plan for those made in his image. Even now, as the Holy Spirit works in us, we are being changed from one degree of glory to another. But it is the fullest resurrection glory we anticipate the most. “We await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body” (Phil 3:20–21). 6. Adam and Eve were naked, not yet robed in royal splendor. When we read in Genesis 2 that Adam and Eve were naked in Eden, it may initially seem to us to be a good or neutral thing. But Moses’ original readers would have recognized that something was lacking. These were royal representatives of the great king. And royal representatives in Scripture are always dressed in royal robes (think of Joseph’s coat of many colors, Jonathan’s robe given to David, the robe and ring given to the prodigal son). The report of their unclothedness indicated a need for royal clothing which would have been given to them had they faithfully exercised dominion. But instead of being further clothed, Adam and Eve lost the original glory that covered them. This is what made their unclothedness before God so unbearable that they sought to cover themselves up with fig leaves. 7. Adam and Eve enjoyed one-flesh intimacy, but their bond was vulnerable to brokenness. The love story in Eden began with Adam and Eve enjoying bone-of-my-bones, flesh-of-my-flesh intimacy. But the same two people who were naked and unashamed are, only a few verses later, trying to cover up their shame. The same husband who held out his hand to his wife to welcome her, exclaiming, “At last!” only a few verses later points the finger of blame in her direction, saying, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate” (Gen. 3:12). This partnership that was intended to bless the world brought a curse upon the world. Ever since this first marriage went so terribly wrong, God has been working out his plan to present a perfected bride to the perfect groom. The day will come when the shadow of temporary human marriage will give way to the substance—the eternal, unbreakable, most intimate marriage between Christ and his bride. This will be the happiest marriage of all time. 8. Adam and Eve enjoyed God’s presence, but they were vulnerable to his presence in judgment. Adam and Eve experienced the joy of God’s presence with them in the garden before they sinned. But one aspect of his presence with them was the warning he gave them regarding the forbidden tree, “In the day that you eat of it you shall surely die’” (Gen. 2:17). When we read in Genesis 3:8 that Adam and Eve “heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day,” it was not as though God was taking his regular leisurely afternoon stroll in the garden. This was judgment day, which for Adam and Eve meant that it was also eviction day. No longer could they live in the holy sanctuary of Eden in the presence of a holy God, because they had become unholy people. But God’s intention to dwell with a holy people in a holy land could not be thwarted by human sin. Instead, God began working out his plan to make it possible for sinners to be made clean and holy in order to live in his presence. The day is coming when, “He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God” (Rev. 21:3). 9. Adam and Eve could have gained the knowledge of good and evil without eating from the forbidden tree. When we read about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen. 2:9), we might think that there must have been something essentially evil, even foreboding, about this tree. But it wasn’t forbidden because it was evil. Rather, it was evil because it was forbidden. God had put this tree in the garden to give Adam and Eve the opportunity to live out genuine faith and obedience. Adam and Eve could have used the wisdom God gave them through his word to judge the Serpent’s lies and rebellion against God as evil, while clinging to God’s goodness. Adam should have crushed the head of the evil serpent then and there. He should have squashed this rebellion rather than taking part in it. Had he done so, Adam and Eve would have been able to eat their fill of the tree of life, and enter into a heavenly life, without ever having to experience death. 10. Eden had the tree of life, but Adam and Eve were prohibited from eating from it. We’re not told specifically that Adam and Eve could not or did not eat of the tree of Life that was in the midst of the garden. But it would seem that the fruit of this tree was a feast for Adam and Eve would enjoy once they passed the test of obedience represented in the forbidden tree. Revelation 2:7 speaks of eating of the tree of life being granted to those who “overcome” or “conquer.” Clearly, Adam and Eve did not overcome temptation. They were meant to rule over creation but they couldn’t rule over their own appetites. Because of their disobedience they were barred from eating of the tree. Revelation 22 reveals that the opportunity for God’s people to eat of the tree of life is not gone forever. Instead, the tree of life is gloriously planted in the center of the greater garden to come. In Eden, the trees bore fruit in their season, which means once a year. But in the new and better Eden, the tree of life yields a new crop of fruit every month. In Eden, the tree of life grew in the midst of the garden. But in the new Eden, the tree of life grows on either side of the river. It seems to have multiplied and expanded, implying that everyone will have access to it; all will be welcome to eat their fill. And it’s not just the fruit that will feed us; the leaves of this tree will heal us. In fact, they will heal everything. Sometimes we hear the story of the Bible told as Creation-Fall-Redemption-Restoration. But as good as Eden was, we’re not merely headed back to Eden as it once was. The story of the Bible is Creation-Fall-Redemption-Consummation. We’re looking forward to a home that will be even better than Eden.

MT:In less than 24hr we would know |
Seunpaul01:That grandpa needs to retire |
Kekereekun123:Black American are many time's in a better place that we there black brothers. If they find America so racist let them come here while we go there and suffer the racism. |
Kekereekun123:They do it because government gives them child support. Very lazy culture |
Just listen to the average black America music.. this are the dirtiest lyrics full of crime and stupidity. I know this because I grew up listening to hiphop |
Black kids are dropping out from school because they have a terrible culture. Did you know that 75% of black kids grow up without a father in America. |
Ibadansun1: |
Ibadansun1:There is nothing like systemic racism. I would love you to give me an example where the system or the laws of America are racist. This is 2020 not 1960. Did you know that Asian Americans earn more than white Americans? How come the Asian Americans are not complainin of systemic racism? Are they not minorities? How come the Nigerian that go there are not complaining... How did the Nigerians become the most educated demography in USA. Why didn't systemic racism stop them. There is racism but it's individual not systemic. People make choices to be racist but not one law in the USA is racist. |
The problem with the blacks in America is cultural. They are growing a culture of violence. Just listen to there music. They have a culture of irresponsible baby daddy's. Have u not noticed that most Nigerians that go to America are very successful, are they not also black. Many of the doctors are Nigerians . So the blacks should look inward. Police is not the enemy |
FirstSon01:Now to some statistics The blacks make up only 13% of the population but commit close to 50% of the violent crimes. More whits areally killed than blacks yearly than blacks killed by whites. Blacks kill by far more police relative to population. Now 97% of black homicide is committed by fellow blacks... simply put blacks are their own greatest problem. Funny enough BLM is not interested in black on black violence. They are only keen on fighting police. Now the number of white men killed by police is almost twice that of black on any given year yet you never here of white lives matter. You can check any of my statistics |
The BLM movement is really bad for the blacks and it does not make much sense. If you want us to talk about it, I would tell you why it's not a wise movement and it actually not good for blacks |
FirstSon01:I told u, you are all about CNN. Trump has the biggest, strongest following in USA. Didn't you see his rallies? BLM is another topic. The BLM group is just drawing America back. As for Covid 19 please tell me, which leader in the west handled it better. Trump played his role. He gave every state the freedom to act and he supported the states when they needed federal aid. I'd you were in his shoes whst would you have done better |
Trumps supporters are surprisingly very warm and friendly. Up to 20% of those at Trump rallies were democrats. These are majorly rural Americans really friendly people not gangsters. If there would be violence, it would come from the left. If you remember, 4 years ago when Trump won there were protest in most Democrat cities. These people just hate the man |
chloedogie:Then you should have known that Biden supporters are actually the more violent with a greater tendency to riot. Don't forget that Biden has the support of over 75% of African American's who tend to commit a good share of violent crimes |
Your write up is really good but very one sided. You almost sounded like CNN. About the violence, most of the rioting are in Democrat controlled cities and states. In fact businesses in cities like New York and Los Angeles and boarding up their windows and door in preparation for violence. Right now republican cities are safe and riot free.Most of the rioting are antiTrump. chloedogie: |
Kobojunkie:Jesus Christ gave his body so that man would be free.. Let them enjoy their freedom the way you enjoy yours. There is nothing wrong in a Christian supporting a political candidate |
Oya let's here from you, how is it wrong to protest in a democracy? tesppidd: |
Great man...Great company. Samsung is responsible for 15% of South Korean gdp. |
What if someone repents of his unbelief, would he be forgiven? Why would any other sin be forgiven and not unbelief? At first Saul did not believe in Christ later he became a strong soldier for Christ. Please do more research The sin against the Holy Ghost is a sin beyond most human beings. It is similar to what lucifer did. It's when you deny the light and altogether reject it after the holy ghost has mainfested the truth to you. For example, if after Paul had seen the light he went on to deny it and went back to fighting against the church that is closer to the sin against the holy ghost. So a Muslim or traditionalist is actually not in danger of the sin. Only one who the holy ghost has personally revealed truth to... not even most Christians who depend on what their pastors say can commit the sin. One needs a personal testimony from the spirit in order to be eligible to commit the sin. |
You would forgive murder and genocide but because someone does not believe your religion you would never forgive him. Guy this is hate speech |
A father would do anything to feed his son. That's what the pictures says to me |
In the year 2000 the Catholic pope apologized for the atrocities of priest that had been covered up for years. We all commended. Do u want us to return to those dark years when priest iniquities were swept under the carpet. Really what is ur point? |
We are expected to hold government accountable for their crimes but when it comes to your pastor, we should look the other way? Do u really want things to improve? Remember, Jesus tackle's the religious leaders in his time... can't we just follow his example? |
