Just from one quote he made, you have sized him up completely as to prejudge him, no?

I think we ought to be very careful in the things we say.

Joagbaje:
We dont give to God because he has a need. We dont give to Man of God because he is poor. We give to God for our prosperity.

I went to a New Years Eve celebration tonight with the Redeemed Christian Church of God. This is a brand new experience to me. There was alot of shouting and loud talking going on. We were encouraged to cross over to the New Year with out sickness. We were to be thankful we are all alive today. What struck me the most however was when we were told to enter into a salt covenant with one another. People brought salt for us all to share and take home. We were told this is for healing us. Than we had communion and after that we were told to anoint our feet with oil to keep our feet inline with our heads. Can anyone explain this ritual to me, I have never heard of this before in my whole life. Everyone there did as they were instructed to do. I was uncomfortable and was not able to conform. Is this biblical? Let me know what you think about this please. They also took up 2 offerings and we were encouraged to give our first money to God this brand New year.

Just answer me this: Is Jesus THE FATHER.

MARK MY WORDS: I do not ask if he is God, i ask if he is THE FATHER.

This was what happened pre-Christ. The dead in Christ are presently standing in the presence of the father.

I'm against extortion but the bible says in
Luke 6:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together,
and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal
it shall be measured to you again.

What Bakare is doing and saying are the hallmark of an unfulfilled, unhappy man. He is not the only one. Okotie is another of his ilk.
When God tru;y calls a man to serve Him, He puts His Spirit and Peace in his heart. That Spirit and Peace would not make you speak evil, condemn, accuse and criticize another man of God or even any other man.

The Holy Spirit would enable you to carry on with the work of God in a unique and successful manner, while the Peace would help you to be at peace within yourself and people around you, and you would not be always granting interviews in newspapers to abuse or condenm other men of God the way Bakare and Okotie (agents and members of PFN) do

Bakare has virtually criticised and condemned every pastor in Nigeria except himself. It is good that it's happening in the miidst of the so called "holier than thou" PFN. They used to have a common enemy in TB Joshua, and later added Pastor Chris to it.

The Bible says by their fruit you shall know them, there is no condemnation in the fruits of The Spirit

I think I will become confused. He would like me to talk to the people there about this. I dont feel that I should as they will be quite doctrinated into the way they see the scripture. I wont be able to withstand the pressure. I feel that I will not grow there and I do need to take my salvation seriously. Some day when my husband and I die we will be judged on our own not together, but seperately. I must take responsibility for my spiritual life. This is why I dont feel cofortable going to the Redeemed Church.

davidylan:
nobody to bounce here.

Lying is a sin and we lie unconsciously everyday especially on phone. popular lies like :

I dey busy now[meanwhile you are watching TV] - - - - He/she is actually busy; gathering information from the TV shows(na work na  )

I'll holla you later because I need some sleep[meanwhile you are on nairaland] - - - - - He/she could actually be sleeping and left his username logged on.

I didn't pick your phone because I was in a meeting[meanwhile you were having sex]- - - - - He/she was really in a meeting; a sexual meeting between a couple 

etc;

How often do you say these unnecessary  lies?. How can one stop saying them?

CrazyMan:
I believe that heaven and hell is real, and I also believe that Jesus didn't fail his mission.

But the only question I have to ask is about the creation.

We all know that Satat was once an angle of light. He tried to overthrow God but failed and was casted out of heaven.

Now here's my question: knowing fully well that Satan would work endlessly to see the downfall of man beause of the way he was casted out of heaven, and secondly, of all the places Satan and his agents could have been casted, God casted them to the earth.

Now the bible tells us that God created man in his own image and likeness, blessed them and placed them on the same earth where his worst enemy Satan dwells; and gave them a commandment to avoid a particular tree (why plant such a tree in the first place if you want it to be avoided).

Unfortunately, Satan succeeded in decieving them, and God drove them out of the garden, cursed them and made their life miserable.

Now tell me, is it fair

njcdrich:
When this was told me by my pastor, frankly speaking, so many things came my mind.
The problem now is I living with my brother with his wife, I have only N2, 000 in my account. If I should resign and face a pastoral assignment without a house, not even enough money in account, I am confused.

Please could some one with the spirit of God advice me?

Thanks.

James.

scottN:
Hmmmmm so i take it that u don't believe in ghosts?

scottN:
^^^^^^ Can u then explain the phenomenon of wandering spirits ?

Godmother:
Please, experts in the house, I am confused on a particular subject. Its about a man being a tripathide (hope I got the spelling right) being. If he dies the body returns to the dust, the soul goes to either heaven or hell. Where does the spirit go to?

ttalks:
Remember, actions do speak louder than words. You could say you have done this and done that. Fine! let's see it clearly; live and direct, at least from now.
