Brethren, I've been passing through some dire temptations .
In the midst of these, it has led me to quit 3 habis that were ruining me
Porn, Masturbation and smoking.

Now I'm getting steadfast in the faith, things appear not to be changing soon.

I'm happy for my personal progress, but can't seem to be making progress in other aspects (career wise)
It has made me to start thinking, is this the real purpose? why this is occurring? to make me quit the habits?

Pls share your opinion

Righteousness89:
The Ways of God are not our ways!

God does not See things the way men see! He knows Your inner mind and thoughts..

Forget about your Issues and Serve and Follow Him to know Him more and Love Him More..

Serve and Follow Him not because of what you Expect.

Serve Him with all of your Heart Irrespective of Whatever is Happening or Whoever is talking..

When you Get to stage of " You give me or you don't give me , I am Serving you!

Then you will begin to be a Solution to People..
Then you see Stressless Grace!

Thanks for this!!

God does indeed allow us to pass through difficult unexplainable trials in order to redirect our steps towards His person. While you have seen positive results, do not get caught in the 'godliness' trap that so many have gotten themselves entangled in and unable to escape from. Open your mind(become open-minded) and become like a Child so He(not pastors or any other men) can teach you about Himself.

Matthew 14 vs 23-24
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23. Then he said, “The truth is, you must change your thinking and become like little children. If you don’t do this, you will never enter God’s kingdom.
24. The greatest person in God’s kingdom is the one who makes himself humble like this child.

Do you know why you have not make progress career wise. it's because there is still something you are not doing. Quitting porn, pornography and smoking is good, but there is still something you have not done

Which version of the Bible are you quoting

I quoted from the ERV there... but do you want me to quote instead from one you are more comfortable with? Or is the issue here that you are not even aware of what Jesus Christ really said?

What about to tell you is very important and it can change your life. It may seem like a joke, but one thing God is asking of us as a Christian is to out and preach the gospel. this is the only God want from us. if we go and tell others about Christ, it brings the favour of God into our lives. By so doing, ending shame and poverty in our lives. My brother, if you see the beauty of this, I can tell you in few months time you will be singing other song. I would like to take it up with you. may be through other means. tell others about Christ. pray for them and see them established in Christ and see how will decorate your life. Remember, there is no blessings of God that doesn't come with a responsibility of what we must do to see it actualize in our lives. read John chapter 15 and Job 23:25.

What?

Is God the one asking weak-minded individuals who barely know anything about Him to go preach the gospel? Do you really believe that?
Many of you do not even understand what the Gospel is, let alone what to teach, yet you are convinced that God wants you to preach the gospel?

Part of the reason Christianity has turned out yet another religion out there is because of half-baked "Christian" badge wearers who have had smoke blown up their behinds believing they are indeed saved, without doing what Jesus Christ in fact commanded and paying the toll necessary to become a follower of Jesus Christ.

When Jesus Christ called His disciples, they abandoned everything and taught under Him for a period of at least 1 year before He sent them out for the first time to preach. He made certain to instruct them on what to do and where to go. It was only after about 3 and half years total of their learning from Him, and watching His example, before He sent them out to go preach to the world.

In what is the Christian religion today, supposed converts are sent out almost immediately to go preach to the world...Does that sound sane or similar in any way to anything Jesus Christ did? Worse, these converts, 99.9% of them not even born again, match out believing themselves gods imbued with the magical power to convert people for God? How can they when they themselves have no part in God?

Hmm.... Revival Revival Revival

I have never tried arguing with you. My hope is that some day you will be able to UNPLUG your mind from those men you have set to seat in God's chair in you life, open your mind to Him, and let Him teach you about Himself and all He wants to.

If you read your bible, you would note that the "Satanic" demons do not work in this manner at all. My guess is that the source of your information has yet to inform you of this, that is why you remain unaware.

So how do they work

Read the book for yourself so you will learn and know these things. Stop swallowing the regurgitations of others, and pretending that by spewing them back at others, you have gained knowledge. Most of those who vomit you imbibe are themselves clueless, and have no connection with God Himself.

You tell me. At least you know how they work. Show passage in Bible that describes how they work

Nah! Put that mind of yours to good use.. read the book for yourself and stop letting so-called MOGs manipulate your life in the name of God with their lies and wickedness.

No, I won't because what is at stake is your own soul, not mine. You decide!

Easy bro. Let's take it easy with one another on here. Remember we are suppose to be Christ-like.

Its okey.

Please you guys take it easy... We are suppose to learn the gospel of peace not quarrel or bickering.

Also let's not give op the impression our house is not in order. He needs help not all these brouhaha. Biko.

Nah! Me, bickering? Not my thing!! I am simply trying to get him to take more responsibility over what he chooses his mind and heart with, so he can truly discover the truth of God. A follower of Jesus Christ should not have to gobble up teachings that are anti-Christ (not according to the truth of God) in any way.

Yeah... I picked something from one of your earlier comment talking about how Jesus tutored his deciples for a year before sending them out to preach. We sure dont want half baked knowledge preachers and I learnt something there.
Just go easy so we dont perceive you as "attacking "

delkuf:

I don't THINK it. Being saved is not A THOUGHT... it is a KNOWING... in that the Spirit of God who lives inside of you bears witness.... as in He tells you who and whose you are, every moment of everyday even.

This na chat... no sense in attacking people when I yearn for them to know that God is not some figment of one's imagination. He does exist outside of the mental gymnastics that some have come to establish their version of 'Christanity" on

Yep!
