But the submission of Jesus to the Father doesn’t come from any inherent inferiority; instead, it comes from the administrative order of the Godhead. A son is always in submission to his father, even if both are “equal” in substance.
Simply put, God the Father will always be God the Father , and God the Son will always be God the Son , and for all eternity they will continue to relate to each other as Father and Son.

I want to believe OP isn't a Bible believer, else, you should know curses are effective as deserved. You can't hurt someone so bad and expect not to be affected if he/she decides to curse you.
Generational curses are effective provided the affected isn't in Christ or continues to commit the offense that incurred the curse on his/her ancestors.

TRUE!
How can any human being function well without reading, studying and living the Bible. The Bible is the only manual for the most complex product (man) by the Eternal Manufacturer (God).
We humans can never function properly outside the working conditions as written in our Manual (Word of God).

My former pastor believes that faith is a means to getting whatever you want from God ... ... My latter pastor credits his progress in life to God and his wonderful sovereignty, and not merely to his faith.

This is the mistake most prosperity preachers are making and that's why many fraudsters and politicians flood their congregations. Their belief is "I want money and fame, God must give it to me because I believe in Him". But true christianity demands that we submit to God's sovereignty and will in all our endeavours.

I will still continue to say that Nigerians deserve the type of leaders they get. Until the young people in this country are ready to take to streets and shut down government over corruption and government irresponsibility like we've seen in other serious countries, Nigeria will continue to be a chess game in the hands of politicians

This issue has been cleared several times on this platform.
If you must understand the Bible, don't pick out just one verse or chapter out of a whole book. Study through the whole book of Corinthians, try to understand the geographical, time and cultural barriers between us and Paul's recipient.
Head covering by women in Jewish culture was a way the women honour their husbands, fathers and other men they come across. Paul was writing the Corinthians to correct a lot of anomalies and misbehaviour in the church, especially by the women.
I don't believe Paul was making a universal commandment for all women in all geographical locations, cultures and at all times.

The world has never experienced so much darkness like in this generation since the beginning. The book of Revelation said it all, many have been deceived and more will still be deceived,only God knows those that are truly serving Him

...making me loose my prayer life
That's their goal not the attack.
This is an attack on your spiritual life, especially your communion with God. You have to keep up praying because that's the only way you'll frustrate them but stop praying in your own strength but pray in the spirit through the Holy Spirit. Your dream is the main medium through which God communicates to you, that's why your dream life is under attack. Try and look for spirit-filled prayer patners.

Jesus Christ lived an exemplary life of absolute humility from birth to death and He expects His followers, especially those who are privileged to be shepherds of His flocks to continue to live in such humility.

It is generally expected of pastors who earn their living from church contributions and donation to NOT live above or below the living standard of their members. That's is the mark of humility before God Almighty. You can't continue to flaunt the gifts in the midst of abject spiritual, moral and financial poverty in the guise of glorifying the Giver. Our lives as Christians should reflect the Giver's glory NOT the gifts.

Nigerians deserve the kind of leadership they get. How I wish this type of energy can be used to protest the humongous, diabolic and unjustifiable amount of money political office holders take home at the expense of over 160million suffering population

God bless you OP for this writeup
The secular world used to be a midpoint between spirituality and carnality, but the secular has disappeared into the carnal world in our generation.
If a believer in this corrupt generation must grow and continue to grow spiritually, he/she must continue to feed on spiritual diets every moment and cut off from wordly affections.
But the "churches" are not helping their members in this regard. Worldliness has influenced the "church" immensely instead of being the other way round.
May God help us all and give us His own desires.

TVSA:
MFM members looking at you right now

I was once a member of that denomination, in fact a youth leader. Spiritual attacks took me to that "church" and I was trained on how to call down "Holy Ghost Fire" on my enemies, but the attacks increased. I got frustrated and stopped attending any "church". Then I began studying the Bible personally, listening to foreign ministers of God and reading spiritual books. My whole life (both spiritual and physical) has never remained the same. I now pray for my enemies to repent, even though God has revealed where the attacks were coming from because I have absolute confidence in His sovereignty and omnipotence, that they have no foothold in my life anymore since I know better and have become closer than ever to God.

Do we need to wait till tomorrow? It's already here today. What do you think relativism is all about?
Relativism is another tool Satan is using to deceive humans in his endtime antichrist quest.

God bless you OP for this post.
Most Christians, especially in Nigeria, need to stop following God by traditions and "church" doctrines. The Bible is very clear about who the Holy Spirit is and how He operates. We should all follow the Bible for spiritual directions not pastors and their denominations.

I wish Nigerians will start thinking with their heads and not stomach

Excellent writeup
To summarize it all; the Quran was inspired by Satan and written to mimic and rubbish what God has done for humanity in Christ Jesus. But as usual, Satan has failed woefully.

And what happens if we do not love one another?
You can't have God in you and not be able to love. Agape Love is a result of His indwelling in you. If you find it hard to love, then you need to truly seek Him, for He is love.

Earthly possessions are good but why so much emphasis on them when salvation of the soul is at stake?
Our lives as Christians should reflect the Giver's glory not the gift. What does it profit us if we keep running after God because of earthly possessions rather than truly seeking Him as our Source and Sustainer

Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul.
Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more.
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!

There are millions in this world who are craving
The pleasures earthly things afford.
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.

So, my brother, if the things this world gave you
Leave hungers that won't pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you,
If you kneel to Him and humbly pray:

Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul.
Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more.
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!

I've said this several times that the sole reason Quran and Islam exist is to discredit the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Anyone who has the Spirit of God and understands the works of Satan should already know this.

Unless there is a threat to life, violence doesn't often payoff

This is Lagos, where life has no meaning to most people

You need to acknowledge that you can't help yourself from falling back into what you don't want to do. The fact that your conscience still convicts you is an evidence that the Holy Spirit is in you and hasn't left you. The Holy Spirit is the only One who can help you, so stop trying to descipline yourSELF and seek His help.
Your main problem isn't the sin of masturbation but SIN and SELF. Masturbation or any other sin is only a symptom of dominion of of SIN over your soul(mind and emotion). Every believer in Christ has had one or more struggles against SIN at one point or the other, the struggle is necessary so we'll know you can't overcome them by yourSELF but by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross through the power of the Holy Spirit.
You only need to start yielding to the prompting of the Holy Spirit EVERY MOMENT to reckon yourSELF dead to SIN by denying your personal desires for God's desires.
You'll need to read spiritual books apart from the Bible to help you on how to yield your whole being to the control of the Holy Spirit EVERYDAY so you can be free from the dominion of SIN and be under the dominion of the SPIRIT.

I wish this message would be sent into the hearts of those MOGs desperately looking for power and more prominence by aligning with wicked politicians and laying curses on perceived "enemies" of christians.

OLAADEGBU:
Did God really allow it?

Of course God allowed many things to go on during the old testament times among His chosen people even if He didn't sanction it. God allowed slavery among the Israelites but the practice was quite different from the way slavery was practiced among the nations around them.

May I humbly disagree a bit with you sir,

The command in Deut.22:5 to observe the distinction between the sexes is a law against dressing in a manner which deliberately blurs the lines between the sexes NOT necessarily about blood sacrifice.

The command was necessary not only because cross-dressing was a feature of pagan, idolatrous worship in the ancient world around the Israelites, but also because of the terrible cultural price that is paid when it is pretended that there is no difference between men and women.

The application of this law in our modern day is against the rise in cross-dressing, transvestitism, androgynous behaviour, and “gender-bender” behaviours in our society that is bound to cause gender confusions and sexual pervasions.

One of the very few men of God I listen to in Nigeria. Very exemplary, may God continue to replenish His anointing in him.

Ungodliness has never been more widespread like in this generation. Worse still is the church's indolence towards the prevalent sexual immorality among her members.

The most certain thing in the world is death. So why do we humans live as if no one ever dies. A life lived apart from the Creator's purpose is just meaningless.
