ednut1:
No one can overcome what you guys call sin. It part of life

So true.... What we did and didn't do wasn't what made us sinners....... Let's say lie for instance, Father Abraham lied that Sarah isn't his wife, yet he was called a friend of God... Tamar Seduced Judah her father in-law to impregnate her, and she was declared righteous for that act. Jacob swindled his brother lied to his father yet, he is the man that had the promise, and so on. Sin is not the nature(greed, hate, strife, funication, murder, etc) of man.

Sin is unbelief John 16:9 New International Version (NIV)

9 about sin, because people do not believe in me;

Romans 14:22 New International Version (NIV)

22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.

Dafemich:
The Lord Jesus Christ said he not that the Father take us away from this world, but he should keep in His own name. So we are still here in this world.

As a Christian, we live a life that after we leave this world, we would make heaven. But in this world that sin is on the high every day, you can't live every minute without encountering huge temptations to sin.

Everyday, the devil is just bring up different types of methods to sin. But I believe there is a way. A way to overcome sin in the flesh.

So I want us Christians to discuss, what is that way?What is the way that Christ lay down to overcome sin?

Jesus has already overcame sin
1 Corinthians 15:55-57 King James Version (KJV)

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

There is no sin for you to overcome any more.....

The only thing that will judge the world of sin is unbelief

John 16:8-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;

For me I believe his word that sin is finished and that's my faith ...Romans 4:2-8 New International Version (NIV)

2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”[a]

4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:

7 “Blessed are those
whose transgressions are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the one
whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”

OP... Do your heart Judge you of any of these things mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10?

Either ways: Romans 8:1 is a clarity of Two laws.

Which lay are you subject to?
One condemns you, the other sets you free.

When one thinks of prisons and prison life, thoughts often drift to depictions found in Oz or the Wire: full of hard living and sexual, physical, and emotional abuse.

However, there is one prison is Norway that has been called the most humane prison in the world: Halden Prison.

I swear, if I dey Norway, I for don commit pass pastor Fatoyinbo.

KJV:And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
KJV:My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John 10:28-29
Those that want to protect their salvation by good works let them continue in as much that the goal is the kingdom of God. But us that depend on grace and not good works will relax and allow the Holy Spirit work in us and through us. Salvation is a free gift and even my faith is another free gift. So you see I have nothing to boast of except God's Grace.
ONCE SAVED IS FOREVER SAVED.

You are definitely a saint

shadeyinka:
You hit the right word PREDESTINED

What could I have done to set me free, the law I was taught to keep was actually given to make my sin to be plenty (Romans 5: 12 Law was introduced in order to increase wrongdoing; but where sin increased, God's grace increased much more.)

The only the that set me free is the truth which was and is still hidden from the world... I was free because of knowing and believing (John 8:32 So Jesus said to those who believed in him, “If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples; 32 you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”)

pressplay411:
We're saying almost the same thing.
Your point is simply not all who call themselves Christians are truly born again, hence not all who think they're saved are saved.
Anyone who is truly born again, truly repentant is saved and can't lose His salvation. Right?

This too is contestable scripturally. One can truly repent from sin and iniquity such pride, mammon, sexual immorality, false revelations and false doctrines, even frustration can lead him to lose his belief and go astray.
That's why the scriptures exhorts us to flee from every appearance of evil-1 Thessalonians 5:22.
It's because we truly have to guard our salvation by putting on the full armour of faith. Ephesians 6:10-18

You don't think you are born again..... I know I am born again, not because I don't lie, steal, womanize, etc.... I know because he told me it (sin) finished and o believed and that's it.


So, nothing on earth can separate me from the love of God. Not what I do, or didn't do!


His blood is express : Hebrews 10:14 For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

Decreased the Igbos? Are you mad?

Sorry it was a typo error, thanks you pointed out my madness, it opened a door to correct myself.... You were hard, but thanks anyways

The most Powerful Royalty in the Yoruba lands, has described the Igbos as the custodians of prosperity in the world, even before the Jews.....

CAPSLOCKED:
NEVER TRUST A PERSON WHO CAN ABSOLVE HIMSELF FROM ALL GUILT BY TALKING TO AN IMAGINARY ENTITY (A DEITY, USUALLY CALLED GOD).

THEY CAN COMMIT THE WORST AND RUIN EVERYTHING, BUT CLEAR THEIR CONSCIENCE BY TALKING TO THEIR IMAGINATIONS AND CLAIM TO HAVE RECEIVED FORGIVENESS FROM ABOVE.


TO THIS TOPIC, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO "CONFESS" TO AN ALL KNOWING GOD WHO ALREADY KNOWS??

You missed what confession is in this context

pedel:
The question you should have asked is what has Boko Haram and Ipob have in common not how they are different.
Both Ipob and Boko Haram declared a new nation inside a sovereign state, Nigeria.
They both foisted a national flag inside a sovereign nation of Nigeria.
MKO Abiola declared himself as the president of Nigeria and was locked up for treasons.
We need to understand that stealing money from someone can bag you up to three years in prison and committing the same offense with a bread knife in your hand is nothing less than 21 years in prison.

Ipob and Boko Haram are proscribed terrorist organisations because their action threatened the sovereignty of the Nigerian state.

There is a clear bold line between Rebellion and Terrorism

A good friend once told me as I pondered my journey into the world of politics that if there is one thing that drives politicians the world over, it is FEAR.



Politicians, he said, are afraid of losing elections,they are afraid of becoming unpopular, they are afraid of the people who vote, they are afraid of not being relevant in the scheme of things, they are afraid of tomorrow. That fear, depending on how it manifests, will drive the desperation with which they will pursue their mandates and will determine to what lengths they will go in order to win an election.

That fear, if left unchecked, is potent and permeates through every fabric of an electoral process leaving behind, a trail of destruction that is hard to hide and difficult to repair.

I set out determined that I must find an answer to the malaise and a solution that would spare us as citizens, the death and destruction that unbridled fear brings. The challenge in itself seemed insurmountable when even before a single vote was cast,the by-word in Rivers State was insecurity & violence but to not face the challenge wasn’t an option & to not seek a solution was cowardly to say the least & so I embarked on a journey to entrench peace into our politics & to instill hope in the hearts & minds of the people.



Hope – this word and emotion was driven home to me by a study that showed human behaviour is driven by the two extremes of fear and hope, with multiple combinations of both in between. I reasoned that even though fear was a dominant short term emotion that delivered immediate results for the benefit of a few, hope was a far better long term emotion that delivered lasting results for the benefit of the majority, so I chose to anchor on hope to bring the Rivers People the succor that was so desperately needed.


Fast forward to Election Day.
My candidacy had since been halted and the platform from which I could speak on The Politics of Peace and The Power of Hope had been sidelined. The prevailing voices being heard were those that sowed fear for a living and the State had turned into a battleground of accusations and counter accusations. The voice of the people had long receded into the distant background as had hope for an outcome that would serve the true aspirations of the people. One side accused the security agencies of conspiring to steal the elections while the other side was accused of using the independent electoral institution to hijack the electoral process and steal the mandate.

In the wake of the accusations, all driven by what politicians fear the most, which is FEAR itself, we saw death visit us as a people & destruction lay siege on our communities. Like politicians do, each side was quick to blame the other where the one with more money & influence with the media ends up shaping the narrative that the world sees, hears & ultimately believes.

So what is the truth?
It seems to me that the truth is no longer relevant in the blame game that has now characterized the election of March 9th and the subsequent suspension that followed. Whose truth is one willing to believe in any case? Is it the truth of AAC that Awara won or that of PDP that Wike won? Is it the truth of the Military that their intervention was to save lives or that of the Rivers State Government that it was to take lives?

Is it the truth of the APC that their political machinery backing a little known politician delivered a shocking defeat to an incumbent or that of the PDP that an unknown politician, backed by an ‘unballoted’ party was run over by a sitting governor?

Is it the truth that as at the time of suspension only 7 LGA results had been declared and others were still being collated or that 17 LGA results had been collated and awaiting declaration? Is it the truth that collation was suspended for wide scale violence when there was relative peace or that collation was suspended in spite of the peace to enable one party rewrite the results? In the scheme of things, the truth has been buried very deep under a mountain of half-truths and lies, which leaves very little room for anyone to claim the legitimate right to the crown. Where does that leave us?.

I am constrained by the choices before me to take a stand on something. An oft-quoted saying by Edmund Burke goes “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”.



The situation we find ourselves in Rivers State is extremely dire and having initially participated and then taken a ringside seat in the elections for Governor of the State, I have seen plenty and have gained substantial knowledge to know that staying silent at this time is akin to doing nothing so evil can and will triumph.

If there is one thing that I am certain of, it is that the entire election of March 9th is totally and completely compromised from head to toe. There are no results that would be announced today that would reflect the will of the people in any form or manner. There are just as many people who do not trust and will not accept an election that delivers PDP today because of the belief that the umpire has granted unfettered access to the result sheets and a yeoman’s job has been done on the collated results that is guaranteed to withstand any scrutiny through the Election Tribunals or any court of law thereafter just as there are as many people who will not accept a result that delivers the AAC because of the belief that the election day results were structured to favour them by the direct involvement of the military as insinuated by the PDP.

In neither of the scenarios above is the voice of the people heard nor are the pains and toils taken to come out and vote considered. Indeed, if there is any evil to contend with, it is this rape of democracy that completely ignores what the general voter thinks, says or does simply because politicians genuinely fear that outcome. Politicians will rather emerge with contrived results that stills their fear of losing elections, of becoming unpopular, becoming irrelevant in the scheme of things and most of all the fear of what tomorrow brings.

Secondary schoolmates of the APC Governorship Candidate in Kwara, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq have faulted reports that the politician dropped out of Government College Kaduna.

Government College Kaduna Old Boys Association (GCKOBA) class of 76 made this known in a statement signed by Kabiru Yaro, Abdulmalik Giwa and Sanusi Ramallam on behalf of the 1976 set of the college.

The association recalled that AbdulRazaq bore the school registration number 1841 and was a member of the popular El-Kanemi House.

“We state that AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq (1841), who was a member of Elkanemi House, did not drop out of Government College Kaduna as is being alleged by mischievous elements behind the smear campaign against him.

“We, the Class of 1976 at Government College Kaduna wish to strongly condemn attempts to tarnish the image of one of us, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, in the name of politics.



“We confirm that he duly wrote his final secondary school leaving examination in 1976.

“The onus is on anyone who doubts this verifiable information to prove the contrary with credible evidence.

“We are particularly worried that a segment of the media could pick what was clearly a smear message planted in the social media and dignified same as a news story. This is dangerous and irresponsible.



“We urge our politicians to run issues-based campaign on what they have to offer the electorate,” they added.

According to them, resorting to blackmail and downright falsehood during election is bad for the country and serves no public good.

The classmates expressed regret that such mischief was always targeted at professionals and genuine businessmen who ventured into politics to make things work for the poor man.

It will be recalled that a group of people had alleged that the APC governorship candidate did not graduate from Government College, Kaduna as he claimed.

The group also alleged that AbdulRazaq did not possess the requisite West Africa School Certificate needed for him to seek elective office in the country.

As the politicking for the selection and possible election for the Senate president of the 9th Assembly heightens, stakeholders are seeking support for the emergence of senator Ali Ndume as the Senate President.



This they said is as reward for his loyalty to the administration of president Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Speaking to newsmen on Friday in Maiduguri, the member, representing Damboa / Gwoza/ Chibok Federal Constituency at the National Assembly, Hon Asabe Vilita , said senator Ali Ndume’s emergence as senate president of the 9th senate will address some of the challenges facing the northeastern states .

Vilita said there is no other time to reward senator Ndume for his doggednes in fighting the cause of the APC as well as protection of the president’s interests before the outgoing 8th Assembly.



She said the president having ascented to the Northeast Development Commission ( NEDC) Bill, a trusted party man like Ndume as Senate president will get the commission working to address the challenges of thousands of Borno and northeast citizens ravaged by the Boko Haram insurgency.

Hon Vilita said: There is no doubt that the politiking for the president of the 9th senate has begun, and this time , the APC must get things done right to avoid the mistake of 2015, where the upper chamber was ceded to the opposition, and thereby pitching the president at loggerhead with the lawmakers.

“To achieve this , there is need look to the direction of senator Ali Ndume in the making of the next Senate president. Ndume carried the APC and the Presidency on his shoulder throughout the period of the loggerhead.



“For this , there is no better time to reward him than now. Ndume also being the mastermind of the establishment of the Northeast Development Commission , will work hard to ensure that the Commision is used to address the challenges facing thousands of citizens of northeast ravaged by Boko Haram,” she added.

Similarly, the Reps Elect, Damboa/Gwoza/Chibok Federal Constituency, Hon Ahmed Jaha, also threw his weight behind senator Ali Ndume as the next president of the 9th Senate.

Jaha called on senators from the northeast, all APC senators to the 9th senate to throw their support to senator Ali Ndume for a robust relationship between the National Assembly and the presidency.

Also not left out in canvassing support for Senator Ali Ndume as president of the 9th Senate is the Borno APC forum Chairman and Chairman Gwoza local government area, Alhaji Abdullahi Danjato, who made a special appeal to president Muhammadu Buhari to throw his support to Ndume for the Senate presidency.

He recalled how senator Ndume worked tirelessly in the presidential election to ensure that APC and president Muhammadu Buhari win overwhelming in Borno.
