@twosquare, yeah I agree it isn't a MUST for one to be skilled in graphics but for me, I feel it's better. That way, you get to cut costs when the cover isn't too complex. It's just my opinion, strictly mine. There are times one may need the services of a skilled designer but for that book cover I saw, the designer isn't a pro. Anyways, what do I know?

okay. Yea, it will cut cost if you can design it yourself but for people like me who are not gurus in those areas...,na God hand I dey.

I am ready but I need help to know how to genuinely get born agai n. May God help me. According to the bible, the time is short. I don't want to go to hell. I saw something frigthning and I think God loves me to have seen it. Genuine born again xtian only are welcome here. Pls

you're born again once and for all but if you're saying to be born of water and spirit- then you want to become like CHRIST soul and body) YOu want to go higher in the spirit and be righteous like the saints of old. Just ask for one thing in ur prayer everyday. Add it in ur supplications: Lord give me sight. Let me see.

As the Yoruba will say: nnkan too ba ri ni waa da.(Whatever you see, that you will become). Pray the prayers in Ephesians 1:17-18 ). That's all you need.

The bible says Resist the Devil,himself, and he will Flee (not walk away casually) from you.
The Bible says you are MORE than conquerors.
The Bible says Greater is He that is in You than he That is in the world.
This your new doctrine of strata and beings of knowledge is crap.
Stop sayg wat d bible doesnt say.
God's word is enuff to handle any situation,spirit etc.

sure, all what you say are true except the crap aspect. You know why? Because the moment you don't follow the progression of the writings(epistles) in the Scripture and think you arrive there by just the letter, you will miss it big time. Because the writings are to a set of believers at a period and according to their spiritual strength. The epistle of John you even quote is to another kind of believer who have attained a state in the spirit. To you, they are just books you flip past and read and claim and confess. No, you have to become it. And sorry, look around you in the world, see the way people behave(xtians, non believers) all over the world and you're telling me the being that gave nations their thought and chart courses for them is a dummy? Sometimes when I look at believers and the way you talk, I just laugh coz u pple don't know what u're in for. By and by you will understand. The God's word u mentioned have to change u from glory to glory. If you're not changing, you're in trouble coz corruption(darkness) will catch up with you. No wonder Jesus said the sons of darkness are even wiser. Those guys will become another kind of human being(let's say 10yrs to this time. Look around you) and you too should be ready to become another kind of human being in Christ. Because what am saying to you may look crappy(in years to come u'll understand that someone told u these things on NL). You go to natural school to learn and you graduate and they give u a scroll which is ur rod...bcoz u have attain knowledge and become something. Ur lecturers formed you by speaking and revelation so that u can manage and deal with situations a manual labourer can't face. You handle it better coz some things are even invisible. Like banking, you can't see it physically but it has to do with an operation that involves the movement of money. I take pain to just scratch these things. How much more the spiritual? When you're a manual labourer in the spirit, you're a piece of cake. Know all scriptures off hand without revelation(knowledge), you can easily be defeated because as cadre is even in the natural, so also it is in the spirit. Fighting beings(ageless spirits) with crude tools won't work. They even want to know if you believe what you said, because faith made them and all of them are beings of faith. Both angels and evil spirits walk by faith. They even know the scriptures more than you, it will take revelation to defeat them and that's why they're after Paul coz he has grown to a stage where he will expose them.

So, you telling me about that rascal. I ask, how do you resist? You think na by mountain business or quotation of words(mantra). Now, I talk about the scriptures not to be taken as things you flip past by and read and say you're okay. No, you have to become what was written. The Scriptures(epistles) is one of the greatest privilege that was given to us by the Father. Because it is a deadly weapon. How does the scriptures end? Is it by manual or skilled? So I repeat again, we have manual spirits, we also have skilled spirits. Before you can become what was written in John, you have to pass through the waters of Romans and become a Corinthian and flow to become an Ephesians where you will be taught how to handle them. After you have undergone tutelage of the 7spirits embedded in the Epistles of the 7churches, then you are fit to become a servant of God(servant -hood) and be a timothy and Titus before you journey to be an Hebrew(carrying the light of an oracle. Becoming an oracle of God). I can go on and on. I just what to show you something which you may not understand but few will. So if you say crap, then I'll say keep to it. Everyone will know where it pinches soon. Don't think christianity is na play na play. That kind of mentality won't take anyone anywhere. U no know meh meh...but by the time sons are emerging, then they will throw down these beings...demons are the lowest. So, spiritual cadre matters and even in the Kingdom of God, they matters....be flexible bro and learn.

Hello skillmyman,

How are you doing? Let me begin by inducting you in the "Hall of Kindle Publishers". Your journey has just begun; expect to learn along the way because you will certainly LEARN BY FORCE

Kindle can be so much FUN when you get the techniques right (moving niches, keywords, book cover, description etc) and FRUSTRATING when you don't!

I've been down that road. There were times I gave up because the sales weren't coming like I expected but later, the urge came and I continued.

There are times you will expect a particular book to bring in sales but it won't happen and some you didn't give much thoughts to will surpass your expectations.

But all in all, it's so much fun and heart gladdening to see your rewards (royalties) for the efforts you put into publishing.

Now, straight to the issue at hand! I want to talk about your book cover. I'm sorry if I'm going to sound like a killjoy but the cover didn't move me. I'm even SHOCKED to discover you outsourced it. Say WHAT!!!!!!! If I were you, I won't accept it. That cover is way below "the moving" book covers published on kindle.

Please take time to go through similar books as yours and check out the graphics. You don't have to be skilled in graphics to design a book cover, just know the basics.

I've never outsourced ANYTHING, be it book contents or cover. I handle them myself. I'm not a pro in graphic design but I have the basic skills.

I use CorelDraw to design my book cover because I'm very comfortable with it unlike photoshop.

All I do is to look at similar book covers and come up with something nice and captivating. There are times I would have to keep uploading the covers if the ones I designed earlier weren't IT for me.

I would advise you learn any of the graphics design software or get someone to teach you. No allow anybody use you do mugu. That cover looks like something done by a 10 year old. It doesn't have that professional book look.

I could be wrong though but I just had to drop my opinion. Kindle market is highly competitive and you don't wanna get drowned in the competition, do ya?

of course fehintola, u're wrong to a degree. Not all are skillful in design or graphics. Our gift varies. We have many pro on Fiverr and other website that can help design great covers. I will publish my book next year(2015) and the dude that helped me design the cover did a good job. Exactly as I described it for him. Yes, kindle is competitive and covers matters because if ur book keeps shouting, "I am crap" from afar, no one will buy it.
So, giving the job to professional to design a book for you isn't a bad idea. Coz me as I am, I can't design...at least not yet..so sparing $15 or more to design a killer cover is okay by me; it will just keep the economy moving.

Good morning dear Nairalanders! This is the second time I have applied for a Payoneer card but have not received it. The first time they sent it was in June; then September, but till today I have not gotten it. What could be the problem and how can I get it delivered to me?

It depends on the way u intend for it to be delivered. When u fill in ur address, pls ur P.O BOx is very important and ZIP/POSTAL CODE must be correct. Filling address isn't enough coz it will just get lost. Since naija doesn't have a sophisticated system, so ur P.O Box(if you have one) is germane. If you don't have, then DHL option you should opt for. It will deliver it to u within 5days. But is doesn't come handy like that without paying. I think it cost like $50 but you will get it between 3-5days.

ma bro Jesus made us know that to be born again is to born of water and spirit. They are not different!

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

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.

two different statements meaning two different things but emphasising on the same stream of thought. Jesus did not even answered his question because He knew Nicodemus doesn't understand but answered what his heart longed for: how to partake of what Jesus is operating by. If u see at the same thing, the day u were born anew is the day u should reach perfection in ur soul and be like ur spirit in toto but it is not hard to see via revelation that the Lord are talking abt two different stages.


From Jn. 3:5, we can see that after we have been
born again, there is another birth (1Pet. 1:23) for
entrance into the kingdom of God. We need to be born of water and born of the Spirit (Jn. 3:5). Being born of THE WATER and THE SPIRIT are two unique births of God's word.
There is the word of God that is WATER
and there is the word of God that is SPIRIT.
Water here isn't physical water, but rather a state of The Word. When that word works on you, it prepares you for a more solid aspect of the word which is His Spirit. The water of the word prepares you to connect something much stronger; the Spirit. One is sticker than the other just like blood and water (Jn. 19:34/1Jn 5:6-8 )

please answer this simple question:

is a born again person someone saved in the spirit
alone or is a born again person someone saved in both
of the spirit and soul? Please answer!?

u must understand the real meaning of salvation which I sighed the Father, Jesus and Holy Ghost. To be born again is to be saved in ur spirit. To be born of water and spirit is to be saved in ur soul.

Ma bro, the first comment made me laugh...evil spirits, demons, fallen angels all have one thing in common, they are all under the feet of Jesus Christ and his sons who inherit Christ's authority

Luke 10:19

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

On the second bolded comment binding and casting is a form of wrestling and indeed spirits of any cadre can be casted out...but in the case of Paul that spirit was sent to keep him under the corrective power of Christ's grace until pride dies in his soul, that was why he didn't get deliverance as at when he prayed but he got grace...the cadre of the spirit means nothing because all dominion belongs to Jesus Christ and those with renewed souls have inherited the long lost dominion which Adam lost in the garden!

sure, they are under Jesus who has all power and authority. Sorry casting and wrestle are two different things. One is for lower cadre and the other for the higher. Okay, u think the likes paul dealt with( the divination spirit) is the same as the one that attacked Gabriel. I don't expect you to understand but those who will shall. And why is a cherub superior to a seraph? Are they not all angels? Yet among them are angels of might and strength. I won't praise dark forces for they have already been conquered by the Lord but for understanding I will say, a spirit that fell Adam, don't think he is stupid and on par level with demons. And I don't think you know who an Adam is...that word "Adam". You know why he is called the dragon...cause he will drag you on and you don't fight things like that by casting and binding....you wrestle via revelation, knowledge and wisdom. Those in the high places don't do physical battles like deliverance u talk.
Even the greatest deliverance that can happen is to even deliver the person who is delivering another man from demon. It is knowledge that confronts knowledge..-t is widom that fights wisdom. Those of the higher cadre are beings of knowledge. They will flaw you if you're not knowlegeable in the spirit. It will take revelations to beat them. That's why I asked you the other time: what makes them princes. Even hear their name: principalities. Even in the earthly dimension, we have folks you can deal with by ur strength and we have folks that physical strenght is useless against them. It will take knowlegde and the operation of the law. Serpents are subtle and connotes wisdom. To tread upon them is to have knowledge and knowlegde is power. Do u want to exercise power? Be knowlegeable. Rulers of the darkness of this world...what is even darkness? What are they ruling? Don't let me go on and on coz I see you do,kt understand these things how how they are arrayed.

Sir you teaching runs contrary to Christ's!

You said:


Suggesting that being BORN AGAIN is different from being BORN OF WATER AND SPIRIT and both have different rewards with the former yielding HEAVEN and the latter the KINGDOM

But when Christ answered Nicodemus in John 3:3 he stated that access to the KINGDOM is by being born again and when Nicodemus did not understand that concept Christ, the Teacher, defined being born again in John 3:5 as being born of water and the spirit and again he stated that this was the prerequisite for entering into the KINGDOM . My brother being born of the Spirit is to be saved in the spirit and being born of water is to be saved in the soul and these two combined makes one BORN AGAIN and whoever is in this condition lives the life of Christ here on earth and that's the KINGDOM but HEAVEN is a location (that shall pass away and be renewed) and only those who have the life of Christ, The KINGDOM , can make it there...that's why Paul noted in: I Corinthians 6:9-10 and Galatians 5:19-21 that those who sin will not inherit the KINGDOM and hence won't make it to Heaven Revelations 22:14-15 ...You see bro the DANGER in your teaching is the view that a BORN AGAIN person can Sin ...that's dangerous because many would claim they're still undergoing soulish transformation and that it takes an unspecified time period, maybe a year, a decade or even a century but yet claim they are BORN AGAIN thus deceiving themselves and others that they shall inherit the KINGDOM . No wonder Jesus said:

Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

He said: ...few there be that find it meaning only a few there be that SEEK it because if you don't seek you won't find (Matthew 7:7) and they won't seek it because many would think they already have it, so why seek for what you think you already have? and by so doing many who think they are BORN AGAIN find themselves in HELL ...Bro, to be BORN AGAIN is to be born of water and the Spirit and to be saved in the soul and the spirit, it is to have the LAW and PROPHETS written in your heart and mind, it is to be a PARTAKER of the NEW COVENANT, it is to be a NEW CREATURE!

I understand all what you meant...but the moment you think entering HEAVEN and entering the KINGDOM are the same thing..u will miss it...whoever commits sin wilfully and lies on soul transformation will not just have himself to blame but will not be a partaker in the Kingdom because dogs,immorals are not wanted at the helm of affairs.

And Nicodemus saga, Jesus wasn't preaching Heaven to him but the Kingdom. That's why I took time to capitalize it for you. Pick ur bible after reading this reply and meditate on it. I want you to see something if u can locate it. Even what Nicodemus was saying doesn't tally with Jesus' reply because the Lord answered straight the question of his heart. Unless a man be born-again, he cannot SEE the kingdom of God. The reason for the new birth is not for us to enter heaven and shout narrow escape that we no enter hell. No. Why didn't jesus preach Heaven to Nicodemus? Because this present Heaven that believers are running to will pass away and suffereth decay. It will wax old and God cannot give that as inheritance to the people He love. Infact He wants to burn it. so. The reason for the new birth(being born-again) is for SIGHT. Something was given to everyone on that day. What was given was sight, not just regeneration of dead spirit. So that you can Seeeeee. Because spirits(evil) don't want you to seee. The day you begin to seeee is deliverance. That's the benefit of the first birth.

The 2nd birth(being born of WATER and SPIR
IT) is the second step. God is like saying after the new birth, there is still one more "borning" my people: the WATER and the SPIRIT. Sight is not enough for you, I want you to be a partaker of what you saw. So unless you are born this way, you cannot ENTER because narrow is the way. You have to be as volatile as water and spirit. Because right from the days of John the Baptist, the Kingdom of God suffers violence....and the violence takes it by force. Don't think it is talking about going to heaven but entering the Kingdom. You cannot ENTER without the second birth. Do you want to enter the Kingdom that even angels are not permitted to be an heir? Then be a partaker of the 2nd birth. Another thing have to happen because it is from glory to glory; the soul must be birth again like the spirit for it to be fit to be a partaker. Ur spirit is CHRIST and ur soul have to become one two, so also ur body. Meditate on psalm 23- the issue of oil running over. When the soul becomes that which I mentioned it will touch the body and true will the saying be immortality has swallowed up mortality . I once sang a song here before the e-tsunami:

You have to be born twice says the Spirit
You have to be born twice says Him who has risen from the dead
There is no entrance without being born twice
There is no entrance without the twice birth
You have to be born and be born.


So saving the soul is not escaping hell, you can travel to heaven and still look earthly. Salvation continues in heaven. Do you want to see a prototype of someone who is saved? Take a look at Yahweh, take a look Jesus and the Holy ghost. No one is as saved as God. Salvation is becoming like the Father. When angels will look at you, they will say, "this man has been soo saved" That's salvation. But a man who didn't achieve it will weep in heaven because he had the chance but treated it with disdain.

my sister do you understand what demon possession is? If a person has the power to alter your will and make decisions against God's will then that person has dominion over you and posseses you! The first victim was Eve, whose will was altered and made to make a decision against God's will. As Eve heeded satan she immediately fell under the dominion of satan...

If Paul could handle that demon alone, he would've just bound and casted him out but rather he went to the Lord Jesus thrice...this is to show that because pride was welling in Paul that demon had dominion over Paul but the grace of Christ availed...

Whoever oppresses you has dominion over you...

Job 35:9

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

Who can call God his rock? If not a righteous person. David, the man after the heart of God prayed this prayer, like Paul did,
as written below:

Psalm 42:9

I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

and David prayed for deliverance:

Psalm 119:134
Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

Oppression should be resisted in prayer because oppression can make re-born a person:

Ecclesiastes 7:7
Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.

I have been following this thread silently but this comment stirred me up coz there are some things that needed to be made straight. The spirit that attacked Paul was an evil spirit but not a demon. All are evil but in classification and cadre of spiritual make-up, all are not demons. demons are earthly but the kind of spirit that made life uncomfortable for Paul are the type that was mentioned in chapter 6 of Ephesians. He was even of the highest strata. Why will a great apostle prayed thrice? And the answered was my grace is sufficient enough for thee. That was not an ordinary spirit sir. It was one of the most dangerous ally of satan. And I perceived in my spirit that it was a seraph. Look at how he was even refered as- A MESSENGER of SATAN.

A heavier,weightier, carnal christian can cast out a demon but the type that made life uncomfortable for Paul, u don't cast out things like that. You can't cast them out. You wrestle against such. All you need against a demon is to cast it out in Jesus Name and it will go...if a thief can cast out a demon, how much more you who have been sanctified in His blood? But these spirits of higher stratas: principalities and power, rulers of the darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places are beings of knowledge who doesn't operate the same way demons do. Demons are errand boys..u know agbero and area boys for ojuelegba? That's the nature of demons. But these four stratas, one of them came and was after Paul's life...why? They were not really interested in Paul, but they were after his revelations. Paul said by the reason of the abundance of revelation that was given unto him, a messenger of satan was sent to buffet him....tHe reason the Lord waited to make Paul look helpless was because Paul was strong and he doesn't want him to be raised above measure...so He removed the hedge around Paul to make him realize that with all his revelations, he still need help and how he can deal with such a spirit is just for him not to do anything. Just be calm, my grace is sufficient. That's how: grace and peace be multiplied..paul must learn how to put grace(rest) to use.

So, when u hear the likes of Spiritual wickedness in high places; those are the dimensions of throne, deadlier than principalities(what make them princes?). The revelations Paul was churning out was disturbing the "air"(that's their abode- a realm between heavens and earth that was hijacked by satan). They were tired that both the demons and other spirits couldn't handle him. Of course Paul dealt with a divination spirit(demon) with just a word. But a messenger was sent from the dimension of thrones to take him out. Messengers are not ordinary beings. Think of the likes of Gabriel in the dimension of the Kingdom Of God. The guy was the same spirit that made them fall into a region were they were in darkness for 14days and night without seeing stars and sun just because they don't want him to reach Rome.

Maybe some of these days I will explain about the stratas of these guys that Paul made known via revelation.shalom.

An analysis of your 'division' of the word leaves 'puzzles'

Now you stated that:



The implication of this is staggering. If a person is born again he cannot sin as said by John below:
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.

But according to you a person born of the Spirit (meaning having a regenerated spirit) could make mistakes, a euphemism for sin , since his soul is still undergoing transformation!!!

Now i ask if a person has MURDER in his soul and this manifests in malice, anger and hatred but this person's spirit is regenerated can we safely say that that person will make the rapture?

This is my SUBMISSION :

Salvation is a PACKAGE that starts with the regeneration of the spirit at the point of ACCEPTING CHRIST (Romans 10:9-10), then goes to the soul with the WASHING and RENEWING by the WORD, BLOOD and SPIRIT (2 Thess 2:13, Ephesians 5:25-26, Hebrew 9:14) and ends with the hope of BODILY TRANSFORMATION promised at the Rapture (Romans 8:24-25 and I Thess 4:13-17)...

So to be BORN AGAIN is not to be saved in the spirit alone, it is to be saved in the spirit and in the soul...The soul is the home of the HEART and MIND and you cannot partake of the new covenant until you are saved in the soul as it is written below:

Hebrews 8:10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people

In conclusion, that PROMISE which the old testament prophets desired to have but were denied, the PROMISE of I John 2:25 is that of ETERNAL LIFE and eternal life is the KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD as defined by Christ in John 17:3, realizing that the Father and Son are one (John 10:30) and the SON is the WORD (John 1:1) and that Word must be WRITTEN IN THE SOULS OF NEW MEN (Hebrew 8: 10) for them to be partakers of the NEW COVENANT...hence you are NEW CREATURE when the old things in your spirit and the old things in your soul are PASSED AWAY ...so I agree with you twosquare on what Paul had that John didn't have but the currently taught theology bordering on the definition of being BORN AGAIN makes 'me' uncomfortable because it's erroneous for a BORN AGAIN Christian to sin simply because his SOUL is not yet SAVED!

...any critique of my views are welcomed!

unless a man be BORN-AGAIN, he cannot SEE the Kingdom of God....unless a man be BORN of WATER and SPRIT, he cannot ENTER. They are two different things bro. A born again can sin and the definition of being born again in most gatherings is wrong(that is once u're born again, u can't sin). To be born of water and spirit is becoming a overcomer because a tiger kid will always resemble her mum. So a person born of the Spirit will look like the Holy Ghost....they're now sons of the Wind. If their father is a mighty rushing wind, how much more His offspring?
Why do the epistles talk about salvation of the soul even though they are writing to believers( that should cause you to meditate). The knowledge of the Son is not saying I know Jesus...no, it is coming to His full stature in ur soul... Ur spirit became regenerated(that's old things has passed away and u're expected to continue). In other words, if any man be in this Christ, he is a new creature...(To be "in" is consistency. To be renewed consistently in ur mind- which is also an offshoot of the soul).
To have a soul saved is also to write the law on their hearts...it doesn't take one day to achieve that unlike the regeneration of my spirit...it will require skillful ministers of righteousness to write on the heart of the people...remember paul, ye our epistles...written upon not by ink.....paul by revelation took time to write on them and as the writings are going on, they change from glory to glory that they become read by men. The reason for the Epistles in the Scripture is to achieve one thing :save our soul...they are materials meant to cleanse the soul and swallowed it with Life(the oil in in Psalm 23).
For the fact u're saved in ur soul, yet you still do somethings that are not expected of saints. So,falling into sin even though u've given ur life to Christ that doesn't mean u're not born again, but u're yet to be born of the Water and Spirit. The reason for being born again is for you to be able to SEE the Kingdom(not only going to Heaven) and the second phase is for you to be able to ENTER the Kingdom( because entering heaven and entering the Kingdom are two different things. You can enter heaven and not enter the Kingdom). So being born of that water and spirit is that u've attain salvation of ur soul, u've become light and not earthy. Coz satan made the soul of men earthy by seeking things that passes away.

Another issue is How would one get this SALVATION? If you want to LEAD an unbeliever to getting this SALVATION what scriptural steps would you mandate for him to follow to receive this SALVATION

now concerning John the baptist, he was chosen by the Holy One to go before the Lord and he who must make Him known and prepare His way must be very close to the Lord. He came in the spirit of Elijah, so he wasn't just a prophet..even Jesus said, he is more than a prophet. And only two sons of men are greater than he- Adam and Jesus because they were not born of a woman. What gave him prominence over others and being filled with the Holy Ghost from womb is the will of the Father and also John's sight in his growth. His water was cleansing sin, same thing the blood does. He was preparing them for the Lord. But John wasn't a kingdom man yet because entrance is by two things: born again and born of Water&Spirit. And it wasn't in the will of the Father for John to enter. Yea, he was filled from the womb because of his mission and he was chosen and proclaimed via the lips of an angel. Because the appearance of John is appearance of Salvation. Salvation is defeating the dragon( the prince of this world cometh and found nothing of his in me). That's salvation.
To receive this second phase of salvation is by walk after receiving the first phase. The second phase is to be born of the spirit and become son of the Wind. Being conformed to the image of the Son.

the salvation you mentioned in the first post and this one you are saying are two different things: though part of our course in the faith. Salvation is beyond accepting Christ....after His acceptance, salvation still continues which is the salvation peter talked about(salvation of the soul). At new birth, our spirit got saved(which was dead) but there is an aspect which the Holy Ghost hasn't taken over: until the redemption of the purchased possession(ephesians I think). That aspect is our soul, the salvation of the soul isn't one day because in it are many paths which needed to be swallowed by Life. No one can save a soul, to have a soul saved is coming totally under the dominion(will) of God. That soul has been transformed..have u ever wondered why born again still misbehave? Their soul is not saved yet, even though their spirit is saved already. The salvation am talking of (for clarification) is not about going to hell or heaven but conforming into the full stature and image of the Son.

In other words and in clear xplanation: the end of our faith is achieving the salvation of our souls. When u hear Paul saying I have finished the race...-t also means I have finished this course of faith, I have come to the end of our faith(kept) which is the salvation of the soul. Satan taught the soul of men certain things that God wants us to unlearn through process(disciplines,sufferings). My soul is not yet saved until it beams Christ and it became marked with something. I can then say I bear the mark of christ. This is what the prophets of old which to get..-t is beyond the indwelling of the Holy Ghost but the formula the Holy Ghost wanted to give the latter saints about how to have their soul saved. Having the soul saved is a step away from immortality(being full of Life in abundance). The saints of old saw the promise but couldn't get hold of it. To have the image of the Son is becoming an heir to the inheritance of the world to come. Salvation still continues in heaven, it doesn't end here.

Why do some parents not like their children getting too religious? They flare up when you say you want to become a priest or a reverend sister. Why? It is annoying.

be spiritual and not religious...on the second note(to ur question): people don't love Him but they want to get things from Him(and He knows).
They are afraid they're going to lose you to Him and losing you means fear of not getting material things(of course they are wrong) and they won't own ur life anymore(another person-God now owns it and there is this thing that angers people when they lose grip-authority over others).

Solomon repented at the latter end of his life and in his book Ecclesiates, he said "vanity upon vanity". With all the moabites wives and every pleasure...wisdom still found a way to save him...at the end of it all he said, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole
matter: Fear God, and keep his
commandments: for this is the whole
duty of man...For God shall bring every work into
judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it be
evil."

The most fuNny part is that when I play such video on laptop, it will play but immediately I transfer it to android...gobe don start. Also scan ur gadget for virus.

Ohh.. I see... I think I agree somewhat, I wouldn't have expected our fore-fathers(pre-colonial) to have been adorning their daughters with a white coloured attire, if any colour at all were to be used for such a purpose, it would have been an "earthy" color (brown, black, green) and not white.

So let's say the white wedding/wedding gown was a product of the White's way of life... Why do you think they chose the color "white" for a wedding gown.... and being that much of the movement of the colonial masters where through the stems of religion, don't you still think that even the White's choice of a white wedding gown has some connection, no matter how remote, to depicting "holiness and purity" of the bride?

From the white man culture....yea...it depicts so... but i bet Jewish brides who are Christians are not dressed that way on their wedding day(if we are to go back to the past,not this contemporary times that westernization rules most things)

@OP

You actually have a point.

The white is supposed to connote "purity"

But then again are we talking about the name of the ceremony "white wedding" to connote purity or are we referring to the white wedding gown that connotes purity?

If it's the latter, then all grooms should be made to wear white suits, and if the reason why most grooms wear black suits or otherwise is to suggest that the groom is allowed to be "dirty" before marriage, that would be being unfair to the female folk.

Who understands what I just said

Actually far from it....i perceived it is a colonial reference....The Black wedding is the traditional marriage which is the proper before the advent of the colonial masters...to make their culture relevant is imposing their own style now called "WHITE WEDDING"- meaning the marriage of the white people, not blacks...it has nothing to do with purity or being a maiden. It is the marriage of the Whites (style) and how they do their thing.

sorry mate, I speak through the Spirit of Revelation and speak of patriarchs I have been shown. Do not be embittered in your soul, nor give your mind unto folly that will debar you to access the light of the Holy One.

For this Melchizedek, king of salem, priest of the most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated "king of righteousness," and then also king of salem, Meaning "king of peace,"
3, WITHOUT FATHER, WITHOUT MOTHER, WITHOUT GENEALOGY, HAVING NEITHER BEGINNING OF DAYS NOR END OF LIFE, BUT MADE LIKE THE SON OF GOD, REMAINS A PRIEST CONTINUALLY.

Some persons i discussed with said He is Jesus, but idontbilivit for the following:
1, without father; Jesus had a foster father.
2, without mother, I just cannot take away the position of mary.
3, without geneology; the geneology of Jesus Was recorded in the book of matthew chapter 1 vs 1-17.
4; having neither beginning of days nor end of life. ok, this may just be the reason why some say that this Melchizedek is Christ. for Christ had no beginning, neither will he have an end.
but made like the son of God, remains a priest continually. Jesus Is'nt LIKE, He is the son of God.
what if am wrong, and if the person as described is'nt Jesus, who is He?

Melchizedek was a guy who lost his name in the walk of faith, after navigating through all the realms of Righteousness...he became the king of Salem and another name was conferred on him which is an order called Melchizedek. In other words, He was a king of Peace and attained that state by sojourning with a Spirit(God). No one can be a king of Salem without first becoming a father of Faith and be a king of righteousness. This man lost his earthly properties and entered into another kind of "days" which most men never entered. It is the realm of He who has neither the beginning of days nor the end of life. That's the realm of Yahweh, the realm of the Eternal One. This man who was given Melchizedek mastered eternal life and his days were not found again among the sons of men.
Melchizedek was a man who saw the kingdom in the beginning of times, and finished the course of what it entails...he became a priest(spiritual) and gave Abraham the communion, to help him in his walk of faith. The king of peace, this man who is also a king of righteousness blessed the Father of Faith. He was a man like us, but found favour to enter into the realm of God. That's the simplest way I can explain it to u.._utterance sometimes can be difficult.

hmmmmm here is a review of the teclast ... saw it in a site


Our overall impressions are not very good, though, lots
of things should have been a lot better. The P98 Air is
promised as a top notch product from the Android
ecosystem, we once even hoped that it could blow the
CUBE Talk 9X out of the water, but it turned out to be
just another mediocre Chinese tablet.

not just the screen, I love a good battery...9000mah is still ok but cubetalk 10000mah is d bomb...I knw wetin laptop's battery duration dey do me when I have assignments.

I'm depressed. i don't understand myself any longer. i'm tired of these bad habits. i'm greedy, and not contented with what i have.
e.g- "i see this shoes or cloth in someone's body. i sell my own, and buy it. few weeks later, i get tired of it. sell it, and start looking for another one"

i keep loosing and loosing. selling off my things. i'm tired of this of lifestyle. i need solution, please.

Go and master the book of Ecclesiates and read it over and over again...back it along with prayers and it will stop...just believe.

my biggest fear is at the end of it all, God saying have lived a perished life.

1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. -John3:1-6.


what does it mean to be born of water and the spirit from verse 5 above?

for
entrance into the kingdom of God. We need to be born of water and born of the Spirit (Jn. 3:5). Being born of THE WATER and THE SPIRIT are two unique births of God's word. There is the word of God that is WATER and there is the word of God that is SPIRIT.

Water here isn't physical water, but rather a state of The Word. When that word works on you, it prepares you for a more solid aspect of the word which is His Spirit. The water of the word prepares you to connect something much stronger; the Spirit. One is sticker than the other just like blood and water (Jn. 19:34/1Jn 5:6-8 ).
