The Kingdom Of Fire

We've heard of the
kingdom of darkness; meaning there are powers who have built a system that thrives in darkness.

marine Kingdom, even prince of the power of the air etc.
Alot of them.

We have loads and loads of people testifying to the power of GOD delivering them from bondages to those kingdom's throughout history.

But have you ever heard of powers that have built their kingdoms in fire? (They can't try it!)
No no, I don't mean, when there is a fight and people release fire at each other. No
I mean a system or kingdom that runs inside fire? Such that it is alive and active anywhere fore abounds?

That is where JESUS CHRIST is the All Powerful.

Remember Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego? When the King threw three of them in the fire and there was a Fourth Person walking in the fire with them?

That's what I mean; where powers live and thrive and seemingly become more powerful in fire!
JESUS doesn't live in the fire, no! But if the king was willing to keep them there for eternity, JESUS was willing to stay.

Fire might be a tool we all use, to cook food, burn refuse, for warmth for both the good and the bad but you see, the kingdom of fire, belongs to GOD alone.
The kingdom of fire is of the kingdom of light. It belongs to Light alone.

This is the reason you notice that, sometimes, when you preach the love of CHRIST towards repentance, you may not get a reaction but experience peace and calm in the horizon.

But the moment you begin to talk about the severity of rejecting CHRIST, and talk about the fire reserved for the devil and his angels and anyone who will receive the mark of the beast, opposition arise from nowhere!

Demons and devils fear GOD and the power of HIS fire kingdom. If these demons and devils live in the soul of any man, the man begins to react in fear. When you talk about how refusing to repent, means an earned place in fire for eternity.
They fear fire. Especially the one GOD has prepared.

...
There is no power of evil and wickedness or darkness that can build a kingdom for itself inside fire. It is an impossibity.
That exclusive right belongs to the kingdom of GOD and Light.

"Follow who know road".
JESUS sabi am.

Completely read your Bible from Genesis to Revelation...

Even if it's once in a lifetime.
It is better than not at all

There I still time to complete it this year

Read your Bible today.

Moving with other believers is not bad. It is encouraged.

When the rulers ordered the killings of the disciples, Peter was seized and put in prison to be killed later.

An Angel came and released him from prison so much so that Peter thought he was dreaming until he got outside of the prison structure and walls

Guess where he went to?
To the place where the disciples were gathered and praying for his release.
There was still a gathering.

This is not to negate point one, or even encourage a gathering,
but to throw more light on the fact that, whether gathered together in a group or alone,
it is still you and GOD, no matter what anyone says or does...till the very end.

Tribulation-type motto 6
Stephen:
I must finish the race
It is only those who run till the very end that win the race.

In a marathon, everyone is a winner, as long as you finish the race.
This is an interesting attitude.

When JESUS died and rose again from the dead, the disciples of JESUS began to do great miracles and wonders in JESUS name.

This angered the Pharisees and Sadducees and Priests, and they ordered the killings of the disciples.

Did this deter the disciples? No.

Stephen was caught and brought to the middle and was stoned to death.

Guess what happened, as he was being stoned to death, the Heaven opened and JESUS showed HIMSELF seating at the right hand of GOD to Steph en.

Guess what Stephen did, he opened his mouth while he was being stoned to death to tell them the truth of what he was seeing,
the same truth that he had been telling them all along, "JESUS is risen and is seated at the right hand of The FATHER.

This angered the crowed even more, and resulted to more stoning till he died.

So...

In the last days, if one is at the point of death, for example, and it seems like one can no longer go on, why not ask GOD to come take you home faster rather than turning back to take the mark?

You are almost at the finish line, why not finish?

Tribulation-type motto 5

I love not my life unto death
Rev 12:11

Don't wait till there is chaos and trouble before you lay up GOD's Word in your heart.

Infact, it is the Word of GOD that you lay up in your heart, prior, that ensures super effortless victory when trouble or trying situations arise.

Tribulation-type motto 3

Esther 4:16
if I perish, I perish

This was said by Queen Esther in the Book of Esther

A decree had gone forth that all Jews be destroyed, killed.
The men who made this decree did it out of spite and used the king's signet.

They desired to wipe out all GOD's people, the children of Israel.

Esther, a Jew, was the wife of the king.

She will not be killed but all her people would. Her uncle, who felt she could help asked her to intervene.

But there was a catch, no one, not even the queen can approach the king unless he was the one that summoned such a one.

Esther knew the gravity of this.
If she appeared before the king of her own volition, she would be killed EXCEPT the king extended his sceptre in his hand to her.

She wasn't sure the king would extend his sceptre, so she may get killed.
She made up her mind to intervene and said, "if I perish, I perish."

In the face of death, she choose death rather than not speaking up for GOD's people

She asked the children of Israel to fast and pray for her.

Begin to say this motto or any other one of your choice to yourself to renew your mind that it is the GOD of Heaven you choose or nothing.

Don't delay.

They fasted and prayed for her, the king extended his sceptre towards her, and she was able to bring the plot before the king, and her people were freed from the decree.

I take that back.

KJV is the only Bible ther is to recommend.

Very accurate

Tribulation-type motto 2

I will not bow and I will not burn.

This is from the the story of Shedrach Meshach and Abednego.

Their situation is much like the situation to be faced in the tribulation.

The king made an image and asked the whole nation to bow to it and worship it.
Whosoever will refuse to bow to the image and worship it, was to be thrown into the fire.

So when they sounded the signal for everyone to bow to the image and worship it
Shedrach Meshach and Abednego were still standing on their feet while every one else was bowed to the image in worship.

They were brought before the king and the king gave them two choices: Bow or Burn

This is what they replied the king firmly:

Daniel 3:16
“Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.”

17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.

18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.


For that, they incurred the wrath of the king.
Then the king ordered his men to heat the fire 7 times hotter, and throw Shedrach, Meshach, and Abednego into it.

The king's men did as they were told.

Shedrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the fire.
And the fire slew the men who threw them in.

While Shedrach, Meshach, and Abednego walked around in the fire with a fourth PERSON

Daniel 3
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.

25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God

Then he ordered them out of the fire and command all the people of that Nation, and nations under it, to serve GOD, the true GOD

Make this a motto of yours and say it every day so that your mind is trained to resist a fear that is not of GOD.

"I will not bow and I will not burn"

The men who throw Shedrach Meshach and Abednego into the fire did bow, and got burnt to death, before man and before GOD

ATTITUDE 3

Have a motto.

A Bible based motto

A Bible based motto for the time of Tribulation.

A motto that is based on The Word of GOD.

Begin to meditate on it now.
Now, while it is still day is when you should work.
Don't wait till then to have a motto

Sharing few examples of Bible based Tribulation-tye motto:

Motto 1
Luke 22:42
"...not my will, but yours be done.”

This was what JESUS said the night of HIS death.

You need to train your mind now and not wait till then by meditating on a Scripture that will fortify your mind against fear and the wiles of the enemy.

Say it every morning noon and night. This will renew your mind in tempting situations of life to choose GOD's will every time over the desires of our flesh.
And GOD' will for you I'm this case is not to accept the mark of the beast.

You can read the King James Bible Version, KJV

@Elliotwealth1

GOD has a Word for you.
HE says you should read Psalm 25 everytime and you will see you life change.

I would suggest you read it when you wake up, and also in the afternoon and in the evening before you sleep.

If you don't understand King James Bible, try to use the New King James version instead or the New Living Translation version instead.

Dohoubuave a Bible?
Which version?

Elliotwealth1:
Thanks for your response and God bless.
I'm new to Christianity and I mean not religion shit.
And I truly want to fulfill my Destiny why God created me.
But the more I truly the more confused I get, the more I pray the more confused I get things gets more difficult.
I see people online preaching about advantages of prayer eg, it's a means of communication with God.
But my major question is quite strange.
Why does God remain silent whenever i pray?
Job to do, business to start, skill to learn, school to go, how to live my life, how to know my destiny, He seems so silent.
Please am i praying amis or doing something wrong, I don't want to waste my life and time.
Thanks and GOD BLESS

Okay can you share with me the story of your being born again?. The specific moment it happened?
How did you give your life to CHRIST? Why?
You undersatand? Share the story, your born again testimony.

Thanks.

Things are going to get even more difficult than this in the world.
But GOD assures us that it is those who believe in HIM till the end, that will inherit the crown.

Whether we have food to eat or not, we follow GOD.
You need to choose wisely.

Shedrach Meshach and Abednego, made up their mind not to bow to pressure.
They believed GOD could save them from the difficult situation
Read Daniel Chapter from Chapter 3 for full story.

But they also made up their mind, that if GOD will not save them from the fire, they still will not bow to the image.

I read some of your previous post

If the legitimate work you are doing now is not yeilding returns, tell GOD, to guide you to a better work.
Then trust HIM and look for something more profitable to do.

If you keep waiting to hear a voice from Heaven, then it means you don't trust that GOD will lead you to a better source of livelihood.

GOD talks to HIS people by HIS Word.
If you have not developed the habit of reading GOD's Word and craving it every moment like a new born babe, you will never know when GOD speaks to you.

When GOD speaks, your whole being hears HIM. Not your ears

You must develop a relationship with GOD first.

If you are not GOD's child, you will never recognize HIS voice because HE speaks all the time to HIS children.
But if that is why you joined Christianity, just to hear GOD's voice, then you may have missed the point.

You are to love The LORD your GOD whether in good it bad times.

One can deceive men that they are Christians but no one can deceive GOD.

You left an illegitimate job to find something good with your hands.
Keep at it.

Ephesians 4:28
“Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.”



Plus, I feel a very demonic vibe on this thread of yours.

What were you doing before you gave your life to CHRIST?

Kindly share your testimony

The Babylonian woman is the spirit of wickedness and she made the nation drunk with witchcraft.

efficiencie:
I have a strong feeling that the mark will introduce or be associated with what will introduce a mutation in humans that will make them extremely evil. Solomon said what has happened before will happen again (Ecclesiastes 1:9). What will happen at the time of the tribulation is what happened in the times of the patriarchs.

And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5

Many will in the name of science accept treatments that will make them morph into humanoids with unimaginable levels of evil. Those who refuse will be killed or be in hiding.

Evil will become culture and it is as this point the rapture will happen and the seven vials will follow and all those who despised God and denied His existence will drink of the cup prepared for the mystery queen of Babylon.

I absolutely agree.

It is the Vacci.ne.
Do you know why they keep shouting the great reset?
It is not about the economy, that's peripheral.

Those in Science or Engineering may understand better.

That vaccin.e links one to the antichrist, when it is time, they will press the reset code.
And all who have the mark of the beast will obey whatever commands is sent to them. They will loose themselves to demons.

If you think the devil operates the system of GOD, you are mistaken.
Some people's minds have deceived them to think that they have a reward from the devil.
Evil does not reward, it steals, kills and destroys.

It is only GOD that rewards every one single act you do in honour of HIM.

By the time you have finished enthroning the devil, he will no longer have any use for you
Any one who actively serves the devil goes down first.

Attitude 2

I don't really know what to call this attitude so I'd just try to explain
Using the worst case scenario:

I was reading an articule causally in the web when I saw this interesting ad, "how to spend less on food."

I clicked it, it was an interesting read.

Another ad from another website came up and I clicked it too

This time, the guy was talking about building survival homes.

He asked a question, "instead of bugging out, while not bug in?"
He gave his reasons.

But it didn't really seem in line with Scriptures to me.
He just giving his secular opinion on the issue at hand and it made sense to the mind.

But bug in??
GOD says you should flee!

Attitude 2:
Develop the "fleeing mindset" in the Tribulation!

Flee.
Don't look back like Lot's wife on your stockpile of food.

Just flee!

Start telling you mind now, flee!

Flee flee flee

Don't ask where.
Just flee first

Do you know what GOD told HIS disciples?
HE said when they persecute you in this city, flee to the next.
You would not have finished fleeing all the Cities of the world before GOD comes...

Elliotwealth1:
Why is the Gospel in Nigeria today all about prosperity?
Back then Jesus took his disciples and tutored them, but today you hardly see that in church.
I gave my life to Christ, no one to teach me about the kingdom, about prayer, about fasting and lots more.
They all claim they are too busy.
Please someone answer me positively

Good day Sir,
Apologies please, I am sorry that you feel this way.

What questions do you have? You can ask here, there are so many children of GOD that will respond to you.

The only challenge I see to that is if you insist it has to be by Whatsapp.

Thanks.

Attitude : 1
The "it is me and GOD alone attitude:"

Kindly read this thread for some background story:
https://www.nairaland.com/6937988/son-perdition


According to Mathew 24:10, betrayal is going to be the order of the day at that time.

If they could betray GOD, there is no one else they can't betray.

Kindly note that we are not talking about strangers betraying one here.

Here is what Mathew 24:10 says, "“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.”

Offended simply means to forsake, to turn away, to backslide, from GOD.
But many more will stand with GOD.

And betrayal would be the order of the day.
If they could betray GOD, they will betray anyone else

John Chapter Fifteen Verse Twenty:
“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.”

So this is the attitude number 1 that you should have:

Joel 2:5-7
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me."

Verse 5 says, trust ye not in a guide.
A guide is someone that that provides direction. No matter how accurate that person has been in leading you, don't put your confidence him but in GOD.

Kindly read the last sentence in Joel 2:6 very well in your Bible.

In the Tribulation, when someone forsakes GOD, it doesn't matter who the person is, son, daughter etc, that person would betray you.

So attitude 1
Trust no one.
Look to up to GOD alone
Put your faith in no one
Put your fate in no one.
It is you and GOD

This is not to say families should not bond or move as a group.
But it will be wrong for any one, let's say a wife, to turn away from GOD simply because her husband forsook GOD.

It will be wrong for you to forsake GOD simply because the Evangelist you have been moving side by side with decided not to continue in The Way anymore

Simply put, do not allow any disappointing action from others demotivate you.
The sooner you settle it in your mind that betrayal may be residing inhouse, the better prepared you shall be

You should teach your kids these things
Children are intelligent if you will play your part.

A 10year old and a 12 year old, on front page the other day, gained admission abroad into the University because her Mom paid attention to her.

The other one passed a hefty programming certification exam meant for adults because his dad paid attention to him or her.

How much more The Word of GOD if you will pay godly attention to your growing children and teach them The Word of GOD?

(I had to pposy this on a new thread to allow for referencing)


The son of perdition

Isn't it interesting that JESUS called Judas, who betrayed Him, the son of perdition? A phrase associated with the Antichrist.

The Scriptures fulfilled regarding this statement of JESUS, was a prophecy made by David when he was speaking concerning Ahitophel, popularly known as his trusted adviser.

Psalm 41:9
“Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.”

But why did JESUS call Judas the son of perdition and the Scripture that was referenced as fulfilled was in connection to Ahitophel?

John 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Mathew 26:23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

Ahitophel was David's trusted adviser to the point that Scripture records that when he, Ahitophel, gives a counsel, his words were like GOD had counselled.
2 Samuel 16:23
“And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.”


But what a lot of us may not have known about Ahitophel was that he and David were friends, close friends, to the point that they went to Church together.

Psalm 55:14
" We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

Ahitophel fellowshipped with David in serving GOD.

Judas fellowshipped with JESUS in serving GOD.

But when Absalom, David's son, called Ahitophel to advise him on how to take the Kingdom from David (who had fled) this is what he, Ahitophel, said,

2 Samuel 17:
1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:

2 And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:

Ahitophel, David's friend, offered to kill King David himself!

Ahitophel, who had fellowship with David serving GOD betrayed David unto death.

Judas who had fellowship with JESUS serving GOD betrayed JESUS unto death.

When Ahitophel later saw that his counsel was not followed, he hung himself. (if Absalom had followed Ahitophel's advise, he may have succeeded in killing David because he knew exactly where David was but that was not GOD's plan).

Judas hung himself when JESUS crucified.

One who fellowships or serves GOD but goes ahead to betray to death -is the son of perdition.

The Antichrist, the son of perdition, has been linked to the Pope. Well, maybe true. but while you are watching regarding this, kindly also be on the look out for someone who may have been in our midst and fellowshipped and served GOD with us but has gone ahead to betray GOD and now wants to put his children to death.

Scripture says the Antichrist is a vile person but that he would come peaceably and obtain the kingdoms by flatteries.

Keep your eyes open for someone who we may have thought was one of us.
I am saying the antichrist may be some kind of "man of GOD".
That is why I am not entirely discarding the pope theory. But while your eyes are on the Pope, keep scanning for another.


He will declare himself God and will show forth signs and miracles that if it were possible to deceive the elect,they would have been deceived. But we cannot be deceived.

Don't be deceived but watch and pray

GOD gave you everything,
HIMSELF, JESUS HIS SON, The Heavens, the Earth, air, water, land, your body, life; your life

HE made the first move towards you and HE forgives all your sins, no matter how grievous, as long as you are truly sorry and accept the forgiveness HE has worked out for you through CHRIST JESUS' death and resurrection.

HE has wooed you and is still wooing you and will continue to woo you till the last minute.

Then HE went on to warn you, us, that there is only one thing you shouldn't do,
DO NOT receive the mark of the beast.
Don't rationalize this.

It is the ultimate betrayal if you do.

Why? Because HE told you not to receive it!

Why?
Because accepting the mark of the Beast is giving the devil permission to cut you from GOD. To cut you off from HIS love and protection.

Leaving this body is not the most fearful event there is.
It is not.

It is being cut off from GOD that is the most fearful thing ever.

A pastor once said, hellfire is hell because GOD is not there.
When GOD was in the fire, fire was not longer a fearsome thing.
When GOD joined joined Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fire,
the fire became Heavenlike

In Heaven, there is no bondage, so their bonds came loose and they walked freely in the fire!

The death you fear so much, the dying you fear so much is what you will get if you take the mark of the beast!

Being cut off from GOD is death.
It is that death your spirit fears but your mind thinks it is the one done in the body.

When one accepts the Mark of the beast, one will realize one's mistake.

The covid 19 vaccine is not what you think it is.
Sit back, watch and see how the vaccine will metamorphosize into the mark of the beast...

If you must loose your job in order to reject the vaccine at your work place, loose it.
Is that the only source of income in the world??
If you must not travel any longer around the world to reject the "vaccine", then so be it.

How can you want to carelessly take such a vaccine with so much controversy around it without carrying out any due diligence, without giving thought to your ways?

Bill Gates says there are nano chips in it.
And you have not even bothered to find out what that means, you just want to take it because of...food?

What would you do when your life is on the line, deny GOD?
GOD forbid.

Mathew 10:28
“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”

GOD is the ONE you are to fear and dread, because HE is The ONE, that can destroy both body and soul (the real death)

I digress

What attitudes should you have?

First of all let us clear this out of the way:

The Tribulation happens first before Rapture.
Meaning, we will all be around during the Tribulation, all of us, both believers and unbelievers, except of course GOD calls you home before then.

It is stated clearly in in Book of
Mathew 24:21, 22, 29-31

And very, even more clearly in
2Thessalonians 2:1-3

And if you think by being fearful, you are somehow going to "fear" your way into Heaven:

Revelation 21:8
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

Why? Because fear is a spirit of the devil.
You need GOD's spirit to be able to dwell in Heaven, otherwise, GOD's holiness will blast your sinful self, not into hell, but out of existence.

And if you think by burying your head in the sand like the Ostrich would somehow make this all go away or blindfold you into Heaven:

Amos 6:1
“Woe to them that are at ease in Zion..."

So what kind of attitude should you be having now and also when the world decides to side with evil against GOD and those who believe in HIM?

Do you know that if you start from the Book of Genesis, right now today, and you read 4 Chapters a day, you will complete the Book of Genesis on the 26th of this January?

26th of January is no longer far away...

Read your Bible and finish it this year if you haven't already done so before.

It is very important.

Mrsoft3:
You can still drop your contact to be added

GOD bless you...

What is the longest Book of the Bible?

Pslams.
It has 150 Chapters.

If one decides to read 5 chapters a day,
One would finish the book of Psalms in exactly 30 days.

But 3 chapters a day seems better off for someone new to this kind of disciplined reading.

But reading 4 Chapters a day is best.
It will ensure you finish the Bible within one year.

So reading 4 chapters a day, will ensure you finish The Bible at 298 days.

Which is before a year that has 365 days.

Reading 3 chapters a day will ensure you finish it 1 year and 3 months.

So 4 Chapters a day is better

Hashabiah:
True talk. Let us create a WhatsApp group that will see to it that we are committed to this task .

Someone needs to champion it, would you?

Hashabiah:
I do this every year and it has helped me in more ways than one . As a Christian, I strongly recommend reading the bible so as to :

1. Understand God's word for yourself

2. Know the truth about our Lord Jesus Christ

3. Live life according to the principles of the bible .

4. Improve your character and personality

5. To teach you all things according to the realities of God's word.

Awesome Sis.
I never really knew about this till I did it with out intending to, and gave my life to CHRIST afterwyars, and realized the Church I joined later on, did it habitually yearly.

I joined the yearly reading of the Church once.
And when I joined again the second time the next year, or the third year, my life changed again for a life time, the second time.
The first change was when I gave my life to CHRIST.

So if you haven't given this a thought, the need to read your full Bible atleast once within a given time frame, and you are a child of GOD, be encouraged to do so.

Mrsoft3:



Let's create a WhatsApp group for follow up and encouragement

Great idea.
I am very sure there are many people who would be interested.
Would you create the group?
I am not really available on WhatsApp at the moment till I get a handset for it.

Start reading now and finish the Bible by December challenge
One year, full, complete, total Bible reading challenge.

There are so many #challenge trending on social media, but this is the most profitable for your soul.

You should start this January.
You should try read the full Bible atleast once in this your life time.

As a child of GOD, this isn't out of place or isn't it?

This January seems like a good place to start, and December, a good place to end.

Don't skip any word, verse, chapter or book. Read everything.

And ALWAYS pray to The Holy Spirit before each reading.

...?




****reading challenge, not study challenge, just read and allow GOD do the rest****
You can have a separate study time.

They that know their GOD shall be strong and do exploits.

Even in the tribulation.

The only difference is, if at any point we are faced with a choice between life or accepting the mark of the beast,
"we love not our lives unto death"

Like CHRIST, we will rather die for our GOD, than stay alive for the devil.

Start reading your Bible now, know your GOD.
It is not by power or might but by The Spirit of GOD.
