jesusjnr: You're a brother in deed. I realise my spiritual drought started with downward spiral in my prayer as I perceived God had answered my prayers already by Faith after about a year of consistency. So I decided to relax. Unfortunately, that was my mistake. Even though God had answered, my prayer life should be consistent. Thanks for your prayers. 1 Like |

I lost the most important thing in the world, the conscious presence of the Holy Spirit and His direction. PS: The Holyspirit has been the most Integral person in my renewed relationship with God. So I am presently on the road to realigning myself with Him. Keep me in your prayers. 63 Likes 1 Share |

PrecisionFx: Psalm 51:5 expounds this. Even little children practice evil. I don't know if you've taken your time to observe little kids lately. Meaning we're born with a sinful nature due to the sin of Adam and Eve. But thanks to Christ, we are reborn into God's nature which is the Divine nature. Romans 5:12-21, Romans 3:23-24 1 Like 1 Share |

Obi1kenobi: There's a scriptural answer to almost all our questions. This post is one of the few that have probed some salient biblical points. However, God is not the problem, religion is. One thing I relearnt is that God has everything planned out. We are simply here to make His plan unfurl. One of the unveiling Scriptures for me was when God promised that Abraham would be Father of many nations but this nation (Israel) would be slaves for 400 years. Genesis 15:13 Now imagine Nigeria as the nation and God already planned 400 years of suffering for Nigeria. No matter the amount of prayer and fasting, it wouldn't change God's plan. Why that analogy? You said you as well as other Catholics have been praying for a bribery and corruption free Nigeria yet here we are... What if we're still within our God's stipulated time of sufering? It doesn't mean that God doesn't answer prayers, because everyone who has testimonies knows he does, it's just that the prayer is incongruent with His plan. Just as Jesus prayed for the cup of suffering to pass over him but God's plan was for Him to drink His cup of suffering and crucifixion. And Jesus knowing this knew it's not about His own will or desires but God's will. What am I saying in essence? Op is going through a phase, as we all do... I hope it gives him growth spiritually, experientially, emotionally, financially, and every way he desires according to God's will. 1 Like |

Michellekabod2: More importantly, how old are you? We tend to be careless where age is on our side. But time has a way of humbling us. I will suggest you not only decide you need to change this mindset but more importantly, you need to start to act right cos your kids depend on it. 1 Like |

I know one of the hardest things is for a minister to acknowledge his wrong which is why it took a while for me to create this thread, i wish i did earlier before i became vulnerable. But more importantly the essence of this thread is for those who have been in this position to give guidance to those of us who have now found ourselves in this rather precarious position. It's a thin line between test and temptation. |

Can you atleast correct your english so we can understand the message you're trying to convey? Your headling is more confusing than a half-cast. |

Flyingngel: Why do we defend the same peope robbing us? As far as I am concerned he shouldn't be celebrated cos he misappropriated our common wealth in the disguise of arms deal. Although if govt was holding him illegally, that's wrong. 4 Likes 1 Share |

RoyalUc: Amen. I sent you a mail. Would like us to discuss more. The challenge is when a minister backslides, it's not so easy recovering. Like a doctor that's unable to heal himself. I often preach that humility is the access to God's Grace. It wasn't a coincidence that you should share that scripture as it's my anchor verse so much so some have labelled me minister of humility. Yet some how, I seem to find myself now seeking access to God's grace. I knew when pride started to creep in. In fact, I urged some friends and leaders to pray with me and pray for me. But over time, I experienced a spititual dryness and became vulnerable. I guess I need practical steps. 1 Like |

I had been feeling a spiritual dryness especially in my prayer life. Eventually I became vulnerable. I never knew I could find myself falling back to what I was saved from. Believers and especially ministers, how does one recover from backsliding? Please help. 2 Likes |

jiggaz: True. Eternal salvation is genuine when we bear the fruits (evidences). -John the Baptist calls it the fruits of repentance. Luke 3:8 -Jesus calls it Fruit of the Vine. John 15:1-2 -Paul calls it Fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 |

unstoppable51: Believing Jesus Christ as the Son of God is the First Salvation- that is the Faith in Christ that saves us from from the First Death. The first death is a state of spiritual death for unbelievers and the carnally-minded. Where one is disconnected from a relationship with God. The Second Salvation is where our Faith in Christ overcomes the trials and tribulations of this world. 1 Peter 6-9 It ends in the salvation of our souls. The trial of our Faith helping us to bear the Fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:21-22, 2 Peter 1:5-7 having overcome the power that compels us to do the works of flesh as listed in Revelations 21:8 and Galatians 5:19-21. That is how we are saved from the Second death. I pray that we continue to grow in Faith and that Jesus Christ meets us in Faith. Luke 18:8 Grace, Mercy and Love to us all. 3 Likes 1 Share |

user283:It's a tricky one to judge. I'm glad you're both believers, meaning you both would submit to the Word of God as I believe you intend to make Christ the Head of your home. That said, one of the major things Christ does in a believer is make him or her a giver. It doesn't even matter if you're engaged or not. The love of God expressed in giving His only begotten Son, breaks the hardness of a heart and makes us givers of our time, service, finances and even life. No one is perfect but stinginess is quite a big deal regardless of gender. The most important thing I believe ypu need to look out for is that she submits to God's Word. If she doesn't yield to the Word and Spirit of God, then there's an issue. But if she yields, then there's hope cos we are all growing. She'll get there. |

I love this thread and some of the replies so far have been edifying. I believe the most important part of living the Holy Life is to detest Unholy life. Until one hates sin and worldliness, he cannot truly desire to leave it behind. (Matthew 16:24-26) One of the works of the Holy Spirit is to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. Meaning He helps us see the wrong in sin and the right in righteousness and to make better decisions/choices knowing Christ has already defeated the power causing us to sin and given us Power. In conclusion, our Journey of Faith starts from the Heart (Spirit), then we grow into manifesting it. One doesn't become holy by becoming holy overnight. Trust the process. There's a lot God reveals in the process. It is instructive to know that when the Israelites entered the Promised Land, God did not take away all their enemies in one spell, he left them to overcome them with time so that the land truly won't swallow them up. (Exodus 23:20-30) Just be sensitive to know what God is dealing with you per season and be growing in All Grace. I leave you with the words of Apostles Peter and Paul. 2 Peter 1:2-9 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Galatians 5:16-26 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Keep growing in all Grace and as the Holy Spirit gives you instructions, obey. Grace to us all as we continue to Grow in Christlikeness and Workmanship. 3 Likes |

Mynd44: There in lies my dissonance with religious Christians- the double standard. If this had been a Christian Conference being resisted, we would have called it Persecution. But now we are the ones doing the same to others. They should let the conference hold. Those who wish to study wizardry or even convert should have their freedom. No one is forced into God's Kingdom. After all, how else does the world know we serve a superior God if we fear witches are wizards? 2 Likes |

electroTech: Explains our generation's low level of morals and high level of greed/covetousness. Thank God for always keeping his remnants. There's still hope for as many as seek the truth and not pastors that preach what we want to hear but what we need to hear. |
