Since Everyone shall Taste Death, So what is the Big Deal about Ending it by Oneself.

One has already started experiencing it here on Earth, if Hell Exist, It's no More Terrifying.
I just Loose the Fears and Anxieties over it...

These Sufferings are Too Much, Given one's life to Christ does not Stop Being Hungry, It does not gets one a Job, It does not Bring Opportunities for Success, It does not Destroys the work of the Evil ones blocking man ways.

Why must I continue to suffer like this, I have not Killed anyone, I have not Done any Evil to anyone, I have not Destroyed anyone...

No one is helping, No Favour is Coming, It's always being Failure, Failure and Failure. Hunger. No Job... To find a Korope Bus to drive nA Wahala ,Even keke.


Doing the Needful Very Soonest.

This World truly is not for Everyone..

.Anyone that things are Cool for Should always be Appreciative, Infacts you guy's are just Lucky...

As a younger Christian, I had many difficult questions for my pastors. For example, since Genesis 1:1 says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth”, I asked where He was before He created Heaven, but none of them could answer. Since I could not get answers from my pastors, I turned to God and He answered me.

The reason we don’t understand certain things in the word of God is in Isaiah 55:8-9:

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Some of the things that you are trying to explain with logic are far higher and deeper than what the ordinary human mind can process. In the Sciences, we say, “Prove it and I will believe you”. God however says, “Believe me and I will prove it”. If you are not ready to believe God’s word because you don’t understand it, you may never experience the power in it and you would be the one on the losing end.

There was one particular question that I had from the story of Elisha and the Syrian army who had come to arrest him in 2 Kings 6:8-23. Elisha told them that they were in the wrong place then led them to Samaria where they were captured and then later released.

I wondered for a long time how God could have supported how Elisha deceived the soldiers, until the day He explained by asking, “My son, if death were to come knocking on your door asking for you, would you welcome it in? If sickness comes asking for you, will you hug it? If poverty comes looking for your address, will you say it is in the right place?”

When you have questions, turn to God for answers. He alone can open your eyes to behold the wonders in His word (Psalm 119:18).

I don't know if any body here is in my shoe... Since I was born I have attended many crusade and church services. During any of the services, any time the instruction is prescribed that all who wish to denounce sin and become born again should come out to receive prayers, me no they carry last to follow go out to be born again at that moment. The issue is, my being born again at any point in time doesn't take much time before it expires. Just at the moment I decide to be born again the holyholy will be there but by the time the holyholy run into 2 to 3 days it begins to desolve till I go back to the status quo. The logic behind this is that, if Jesus is to come withing the shortest time that follows the moment of my being born again that means heaven sure me die but if na after it has expired OYO is my case but Jesus will surely consider my seriousness by looking at the number of times I have come to him...

Pls how can someone be permanently born again without much sin ?

Note: he get some things wey Christians go count as sin and wey if ah no do na hunger go kill me...

Christian brothers over to you...

Matthew 23-27 New Living Translation (NLT)
Jesus Criticizes the Religious Leaders
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses. So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach. They crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.
“Everything they do is for show. On their arms they wear extra wide prayer boxes with Scripture verses inside, and they wear robes with extra long tassels. And they love to sit at the head table at banquets and in the seats of honor in the synagogues. They love to receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi

"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm."

redeff06:
My name is (Anonymous) . According to what I was told, I should be 37 years old by now. Since my childhood days, I have never lived a mentally healthy life, it has been one spiritual problem to the other.

By 2017, I started noticing strange phenomenon about my life. I started noticing symptoms of schizophrenia about my life (thought broadcast). By 2018, I moved to Lagos as an attempt of tackling the problem through changing of environment. After working for almost one year in Lagos state as a private school teacher where I was being psychologically, and verbally assaulted, I was physically set up and beaten up without doing nothing. While I was being physically attacked, the assailants used palm tree branch to repeatedly hit my head several times till when I almost died before they now left me.

After that attack, I was again beaten up by one co-tenant in the house I rented. During the feud, it was still the same head they were releasing the blow on.

After these two major attacks, When I was moving from Lagos to Auchi, I developed chronic symptoms of schizophrenia on the way coming. I began hearing voices, having extra-sensory communication with my subconscious mind, having thoughts disturbances and all sorts of hallucinations. All this began at late 2019.

Ever since 2019 till date, I have been suffering through this illness. It has made me feel as if I am dead while still alive.

SUPPOSED ROOT AND CAUSED

Back then in my childhood days, I used to have the feeling of being discriminated against supposed other siblings in the house. When hallucinations started, I used to hear voices and see the images of the supposed family members inflicting attacks on me, even, up till this time I am typing this. Now, they are threatening me with death. I used to hear them talking to my head that I am going die. Since then, I have been having bad dreams and strange and scary feelings. As at now as I am typing, I am living in fear of them.

ROOT CAUSE
I used to think that it's due to a universal curse placed on me. I used to think that the 8 billion people on earth are psychologically against me

QUESTION

Please what have I done to deserve this
Who am I?
Who gave birth to me?
What's my mission on earth?
Why do you want to kill me??
Why am I born different from every other humans??


These are some of the questions I need answers to..... thanks

Someone posted this question in a telegram group I'm part of.
Many people responded that whoever commits suicide is going to hell. However, I did a little research on it by asking Google. I was surprised to see in the articles written by foreign religious leaders that suicide doesn't take anyone to hell and they supported their views with a lot of verses from the Bible.

As a Nigerian, do you think suicide take anyone to hell?

Incubatr:
A few days ago, the Holy Spirit told me that one of the biggest problems we have as believers is the need to feel and handle things. You have this innate desire by reason of being human to want to perceive and manage things.

So when things do not make sense to you, when they're not tangible, when you can't quantify a problem, when you can't touch the solution, when something is not concrete, when it's not sure, and when you can't hold onto it, that's where your Christianity starts malfunctioning.

That's when you start worrying, that's when you start complaining because things to you must always have a shape.

The Holy Spirit calls these kinds of believers, "concrete Christians."

The Bible says, "the wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit" [ John 3 : 8.]

The characteristics of the wind are used to connote how walking with the Holy Spirit is like; here today and there tomorrow. Its unpredictable.

If you're a concrete Christian, you cannot be like the wind.

You're sizeable. If you're dropped in water, you will make a sound, and you'll sink to the bottom.

"Everything has to make sense to you."

"Everything has to be felt."

"You need to know the exact dates for things."

"You need to know when a problem will stop."

"You need to know everything about your future. "

A wise man once said, "sometimes in Christendom, if not all the time, you have to be foolish in your head and follow the wisdom in your heart."

I can assure you that you will not know everything when you follow God. Not everything will make sense to you.

But one thing is certain, if you can be foolish in your head and trust the truth in your heart, you will get to the promised land.

So sometimes, the Holy Spirit in your heart may decide not to send needed information to your head. At that time, you're supposed to follow the peace in your heart and trust that He knows what He's doing.

Are you going through a difficult time, and it looks like the Holy Spirit isn't saying anything?

Are you seeking crucial answers, but it looks like heaven is shut?

Trust the peace in your heart.

It's there to show that God is "aware."

It's there to enable you believe that God is working things out for your good.

His plans for you are not of evil but good, to give you a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).

When God is quiet, know He's working out something, and that thing is most definitely for your good.

So get up.

Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, He will come with vengeance; with divine retribution, He will come to save you" (Isaiah 35:3-4).

So what should I do now, you ask?

Focus on His last instruction.

Focus on the things you can control.

Do them wholeheartedly.

And soon, just like the Bible said, when He'll eventually speak, "He will surely speak peace to His people and His saints" (Psalms 85:8b).

3. What was the cross that you accepted when you became born-again or is it all of mental assent for you according to the doctrines and traditions of your pastors and mogs?

1. The promise you quote applies only to those who are in good standing with God — those who tread the path of righteousness.

2. I am afraid it is not a trick of Satan; God says He does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; every prayer — plea, request, petition— of the unrighteous, even those in search of forgiveness of sin are tainted/made filthy by their sins and hence are an abomination to God. So when an unrighteous man asks for God to forgive Him his sins, he does so in vain.

Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel that the only way to obtain freedom from slavery to sin is through careful continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments, God's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of God. It is only those who continue in submission that comes to know the Truth of God as far as sin in the Kingdom of God and are then set free from slavery to sin by the Truth Himself. There is no other way to obtain forgiveness of sins for the unrighteous man where Jesus Christ is concerned. Hence the reason why Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God(holiness) and God's righteousness in order to that He taught them — the blessings and benefits of the Kingdom of God(answers to prayers included) — shall be added onto them.

3. If demons are more knowledgable of the truth of God than you are, what does that say of your claim to believe?

Earthkumy:
Becoming a true Disciple

Disciple means follower, and Christianity is not a democracy where popular opinion counts. Christianity is a kingdom where the voice of the master is the ultimate. Jesus says if you love me obey my commandments, in other words no other way around our relationship with God. Unless you learn to listen to the master and the written word which is His commandments.
Someone once asked me what my ambition is. I told him that since I gave my life to Christ and made him the Lord of my life, I don't have personal ambition. My only ambition is to do the will of he who is the Lord of my life which is Jesus Christ. Anything you see me do is because he asks me to and I might make mistakes along the way but my focus is the will of my Lord. The devil is smart to know our personal desires and amplifies it to make us anxious and unreasonable to the will of God. Which will make our desires to be in conflict and we become deaf to the voice of God. Why our prayers and communication to God is centered on what we want, and has little to do with God's purpose for us and the Church. If you want to work in that peace that passes all understanding you have to step back from your personal desire and lusts and ask the Father 'what is thy will'. In the will of God there's peace even when it is accompanied with a valley of death, in that we fear no evil, because those that know their God, will do exploit. A true disciple doesn't follow his/her feelings or desires, a true disciple follows the master's commands.

I pray we turn from our personal lusts and search out our masters command and follow it to the glory of His name Amen

...when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem... Luke 2:45



We might as well face it, strife has even infiltrated our church life. It is true enough that the Church is now the Church militant. But, as such, its warfare ought to be that of dedication to revealed truth and divine holiness, and not intramural bickering and carnal disputes. We read in the second chapter of Luke that Joseph and Mary lost Jesus one day. Where did they lose Him? They lost Him in the most unlikely place in all the world-the Temple. I have seen many people lose Jesus right in the church. I have seen them lose Him in a dispute about who was to be choir director, who was to play the organ, who was to be an elder, or who was to be the minister. Yes, because we are human, though Christian, it is easy to lose sight of Jesus right in the temple!

PRAYER

Don't let me lose sight of You, Lord, in the complex logistics of everyday life.

We all know this popular verse, John 3:16; "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.".

Let me say a little about His Love, some of what he had done and can do for you through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD;

- At last minutes, the thief on the cross was saved by Jesus despite all his past wrong doings. Jesus is full of mercy and compassions. He was giving eternal life.
- Jairus’ Daughter was brought back to life by Jesus. Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43
- Mary Magdalena was delivered by Jesus.
- The Woman with the Issue of Blood Healed by Jesus.
- Healed the paralytic man at Bethesda. John 5:1-15.
- Healed the man blind from birth. John 9:1-7
- He stilled the storm.
- HE fed 5,000 in excess from little.
- and lots more which cannot be count. All these tells me that God wants the best for you despite satanic agenda.

Believe who he had sent to you, JESUS, accept him, call unto him, and thou shall be saved.

I always say this. He's closer to you than you can ever imagine. Call on him now!!!

1 Peter 5;6-7 says; "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

JESUS IS LORD!!!

kpakpandoN:
Basically, the reason we eat is so that we can have strength, good health and life. When I was younger, we had a slogan that said, “We eat to live, we don’t live to eat”. The regular meals we eat however, have some limitations. One of the limitations is that there is no one food that has all the nutrients in it, so no ordinary meal can give you all-round vitality. There is however one meal that gives life in abundance. It is the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. Until you eat this meal, you have no life in you (John 6:53).

In Joshua 14:6-14, one of the people who ate the Passover meal, Caleb, said at the age of 85, “I am still as strong today as I was 45 years ago”. When you eat the Holy Communion, your strength is renewed; weakness becomes a stranger to your body. Some years ago, I went to hold a programme in a foreign country, and during one of my prayer walks in the morning, I started feeling faint. I couldn’t walk much further and had to go back to my lodge. Later on, I recalled that we would be eating the Holy Communion that evening so that gave me hope. In the evening after eating the Communion, my strength came back to me. In Psalm 105:37, the Bible speaks about the children of Israel who ate the Passover meal: there was no feeble one amongst them. They all had robust health. Sickness will become a stranger to you when you eat this special meal. In John 6:54, the Lord Jesus Christ said concerning the Holy Communion:

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

We eat to live, have strength and be healthy, but the Holy Communion goes far beyond those three basic things. It acts as a medicine – not an ordinary kind of medicine, but one that defies death. Exodus 12:13 says death will pass over you when it sees the blood. This is the blood of Jesus which is represented by the wine in the Holy Communion. I am believing God for you that when next you eat the Holy Communion, death will stay away from your home, in Jesus’ name.

Keeping eternity in view

Christians should always keep eternity, at the center of all actions, thoughts and aspirations. This is crucial, for one to escape from carnality, godlessness and inordinate ambition and all its wild tentacles.

A clear focus about the fact that all mortals are on a pilgrimage, will surely help one not to easily forget that heaven is the eternal home of the Faithful.

The words of Apostle Paul, prior to his transition, vividly captured this theme.

“The time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

Please it will be highly beneficial to take some time and reflect on these eternal words. They are constant reminders that this earth is a preparatory ground.

Mores the coming of Jesus is at hand. Are you prepared to meet him just now? If not, kindly welcome him into your life. Submit to him in prayer. Allow him to be your personal Lord and saviour. This decision is pivotal to salvation and entry into heavenly bliss. Shalom
