Samsonklin: I like your points.. The God that rembered success and her family and used the lady without knowing will also not forget her. God is just.. rather than crying to people for help turn to God that can embarass you with help that you don't even deserve. |

Denikayan: Imagine you being an Md of a top multinational company or a governor of a state and you think and see things this way.... No , dont say it's just a joke , because it's from the abundance of your heart tm your mouth speaks from. What kind of character do you think you will display at that level.and you expect God to lift you up to a higher level..No, he cant...its not a curse. |

hahn: Unfortunately the devil has you exactly where he wants you to be and that's where you are right now.He ensures that men remain blind to the truth and continue to use their pride and intellectual knowledge of things and inventions among other things to block their sight. I am sure that the signs are there but if you are careful about the pattern of your life progress, you will observe that you keep failling at the same things over and over.. it may take you 10 yrs, 20yrs or even forever to realize and recover but my prayer for you is that you recover now. If you have never seen the power of darkness at work anywhere or heard of it, then i can comfort you by telling you that there is no power of light for now till that happens. |

NPComplete: You made some salient points here.. but dont also forget that most developed countries that you are talking about went through this phase. If you go to rome,the uk, usa.. they have big cathedrals too. They were very religious at some point and even had these things in their constitution and on currencies .Today most arab nations are still very very religious yet making progress nationally. Our problem is not the cathedrals but our ions,desires,wants, as a people. We want the best cars but we cant build one or think of building one, we want to be very rich , live the lavish life without creating value. 1 Like |

kernel001: I agree with you and I also liked your comment. If daddy freeze thinks he has a message then let him go ahead and preach it. But he seems to have gone overboard and over critical of church Leaders and sometimes the church that he doesn't even know where to draw the line anymore between his message and what the life of a true believer should portray. He is so rash in his responses to others who don't believe in his message, he doesnt even demonstrate the fruits of the spirit and you begin to wonder what he truly stands for. For me he's looking more like an enemy of Christianity in disguise, using his message that s loved by many as a weapon. 3 Likes |

InvertedHammer: Good points.. White wedding is not african , it's white.. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be attached to his wife.. its biblical. These are not african but general universal accepted ways of human existence. In united states for example you won't be elected into the highest office if you are not married and have managed your marriage well , so people shouldnt africanize and demonize it just because the pressure is there.. |

xreal: You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. For people will love only themselves and money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred or holy . heartless, and hateful. Their words will be cruel, and they will have no self-control or pity. These people will hate everything good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 2 Timothy 3 1-4. 1 Like |

hopefulLandlord: Nigeria did not fail because they prayed and fasted.. America was more religious than any christian nation in the world during their early years of development such that everything about them had God in it including their constitution and their currency notes plus they became bonded with isreal. Saudi Arabia is more religious than Nigeria. Nigeria failed along with the rest of Africa because of Bad leadership, poor governance, greed for money and power, lack of vision and direction, lack of education, intellegence and enlightenment among their people and above all poverty mentality, laziness and diabolic evil practices.. 5 Likes |

doctokwus: It's so funny that many young Africans are not quite as intelligent as their foreign counterparts.. 90% of news flying around blogs and social media are either incomplete , fake or assumed or made up and you need to be smart to know them... How did anybody know she was meant to be kept for 7 days..if the herbalist and the boy are both at large.. If her father is a former deputy gov , how did the boy think he would be able to kill the daughter and get Scot free and why will he choose such difficult target How come it was the killers brother that reported.. he must have broken into his brothers room.. what happened to their friends.. Even the story said it's a suspected ritual not a confirmed information... and a family source said, not an investigator or the police.. Investigation is still ongoing , until the information is confirmed by a credible source we can't say its a ritual killing.. |

uyplus: It's obvious that your thinking is shallow and your comprehension of things is myopic.. except you change ur thinking u won't go far in life.. you can never put a cap on the height any man can get to or what they can achieve in life.. the only obstacle is you and your thought pattern. |

[quote author=pafisayo post=68343771][/quote] Lol.. you are somehow right .. religion and politics are two of the most dangerous means by which the devil is using to blind the world today.. you didn't mention liberalism (I can do whatever I chose to as long as i am not infringing on any body's right) and aethism ( we don't need God for anything , just use your brain and think).. The gospel of Jesus Christ still remain the number one opener of eyes today and forever (Its the light) while sin remains the number one blinder of men.. Faith and lintellectual logic are on two different sides of the aisle. And for the logical man he needs to personally see or experience to believe. So whatever u say from now till next year will never change his opinion..blessed are those have not seen yet believe. if you know you know , count yourself blessed if you know. No need to shout or argue.. |

findingmyself18: It is only a fool that says there is no God.. what you are lacking is wisdom . Mind you , some people were born blind, deaf or dumb but you can see and you r not dumb.. there is a purpose for everything that was created , if you don't know u don't know..ask God for understanding. |

ObongawanAKS: If only you deeply understand what it means to love God with all your heart and soul then you won't say a No No.. when u truly love God you become obedient to death as Jesus was obedient unto death.. you r not obeying because of the benefit or conditionally , you obey because of the love you have for God and you do what he says you should do irrespective of the other.. don't anchor ur obedience on another's action.. when you see it that way then ur understanding of God's word in not enough. |

omohayek: With all this your plenty grammar, I am already suspecting that you have a big problem.. your type is of those the bible refer to as "ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of the truth" .. Marriage is the oldest institution on earth , it didn't start in your time and have been successful over those years too . don't get to the point where you start thinking you are now wiser than the billions of people that have ed through the earth .. my dear , there is nothing new under the sun.. it is only the knowledge of things that man is inventing that is constantly changing.. |

Buharimustgo: Smh..folks are all living in fools paradise, living in a delusional world created by their own pride and lust.. most look back after many years, when the influences are off their path and discover they have been foolish all along.. no real gain..they bring grief to themselves and their families , destroy hopes and dreams of other foolish ones like them and even innocent ones .. at the end no gain with plenty of regrets..some of the ones they kill today could even have been help for them in the future.. but they don't see the future , they don't know the future , they walk on in darkness only to realize latter in the future that all of it was never really worth it.. it was just a journey that their lust and pride took them through which in all cases was never worthwhile..... 1 Like |

shadeyinka: I see your point.. and that is why today people say you have a spiritual husband and wife and some even have spiritual children and the doctrine goes on and on.. But u need to look at it again and that the context mentioned in the bible is quite different from the doctrine believed by christians today.. the case mention in the bible was a physical transformation of angels to humans and the children were described as humans not spirit children.. and there was an were God ordered that that whole generation be wiped out so as not to pollute the human race.. . There is no such thing as having intercourse and giving birth to spiritual demons or children as widely believed by some christians.. A christian giving birth to spiritual children from sex with demons or vice versa !!!!!it is a blatant lie hashed out of hell ...these are lies that came out of the mouth of demons and have now been widely held as truth. 2 Likes |

shadeyinka: You have a very valid point as mentioned in my earlier post, If you read the last part of it.. . A demon that brings sickness or diseases to their target was called a spirit of infirmity to address it while casting it out..one same demon can make their victim blind and make him poor and cause him to be sick and cause him to fear at the same time.. what will you call that demon? Understand the basic thing here, demons oppress people in different ways..it is the teaching of the doctrine around wife or husband that is not correct, demons are not male or female . e.g a victim continues to watch pornography he can open a door way for an unclean spirit to come in and this spirit can cause him to be in bondage to the act.. there can be manifestations of sex in dreams or even as close as real life and other related experiences associated to that spirit demon . that is not a wife or husband.. let's understand this and not continue to validate our points as right or wrong.. also dont forget that every demon is unclean..and I think that is what I understand from the pastors view. |

daveP: The bible is very clear in ephesians about the 5 fold ministry (pastoral, teaching, prophetic,apostolic, evangelical )..as these ministries form the basic foundation for equipping and building up the saint's.. however we understand that various other ministries spring up from these basic ministries and can be regarded as subsets or arms e.g faith, deliverance, healing,television,bible ministries etc.. we also understand that before you can operate as a subset you must first be operating from the basic set. moreso, you can operate in more than one set and subset at the same time depending on your calling and gifts.that means I can be a prophet and a teacher or pastor and operate a healing , television and deliverance ministry too.. but having said that, every believer is called to a reconciliation ministry and should heal the sick , cast out demons and evangelize the gospel. I understand the teaching of pastor Chris and every christian must attain the height where he can see things the way God sees them without being apologetic about it or giving consideration to other people's experiences or even theirs too.. for God call things that be not as though they were.Abraham believed God , changed his name from Abram to father of many nations and refused to consider his own experience as a barren for many years after Gods promise of a child.He called himself a father of many nations yet with no child .. that is the high point every christian should attain .. In the book of judges an angel appeared to Gideon and called him a mighty man of valour.. the angel said he will smite the medianites as one man.. but i realized he fought the battle with 300 men eventually because he could not comprehend that truth so he had to be allowed to operate with a much lesser truth.. his experience was different from what God said but yet what God said thru the angel was the ultimate truth . He didn't live up to the ultimate truth just like samson was but nevertheless he still succeeded with a lesser truth.. it therefore means that we all operate on different levels of truth and some are higher than the others yet they are all truths..and in most cases we see them as conflicting whereas it is for us to understand the higher truth and walk with them and that is why revelation is progressive.. to what the pastor said, I believe that there are diverse manifestations of demons and certain demons can be classified to operate in certain ways depending on their assignments.. I also believe that there are no male or female demons neither are there male or female angels and so the issue of wife or husband may be assumed as a result of their operations assignment and manifestations.. i believe what the pastor said is right but the experience or realities of certain people with different classes of demons is what brings about the terminologies.. For me ,it's still about the higher and lesser truths..but we can all agree that demons exist and operate in these different ways.. |

gypsey: He is the almighty God, the I am that I am, the strong and breasted one , the mighty God , the king of all kings, the Lord of all lords, the creator of the heavens and the earth, the maker of everything that you see.. He is el_- shadai , el_ hoim.. the God that sits on the throne in the heavens.. he is able to appear to you in any form , as a man , as wind, as fire , as an angel.. you can't limit him..He is full of great glory.. he's is beautifull and excellent but full of great love.. he is Love.. Life is spiritual and history has shown that to us through various acts of men worshipping a god at some point or the other in history. don't be foolish but be wisers than your fore fathers by worshipping the only true God.. it is only a fool that say their is no God.. such a fool is only walking in darkness and denial of the truth When you are spiritually discerned you are able to quickly recognise grace in the life of a man.it does not imply that the man is 100% perfect but do yourself a favour by not setting yourself against that grace that is working in him..you will find yourself crumbling down over time and very fast too. it is not a fluke , no man can do those things you see or hear of at rccg except God is with him.. it can't be achieved by natural human abilities.Never.. It is humanly impossible. So be wise and stop depending on the little knowledge that you gained in the small time you have stayed in this world.. wise up and embrace the truth and the true knowledge of God..God loves you. . 1 Like |

Alariiwo: Not necessary but very important if you ask me..Every man has the liberty to choose how he responds in every situation..For me, virtues like these are the little things that seperate the wealthy from others.notice I didn't say the rich.. some people may discount his actions but these are the little virtues that are missing among the poor people in our country today..and when they make some little change they immediately assume they are the boss. I respect values like this a lot, you have to learn to honour the office of authority and not necessarily the person regardless of wether it's a child or a fool that is occupying the position and I think others who are really thinking of making great impact in their world should too.. i have noticed that is one of the things that take a man far above his skills and talent..God gives more grace to the humble but resist the proud, you can call this eye service if you wish but do yourself a favour by not missing the point. |

[quote It's is used to sow or shoot arrows of a pattern of failure at Edge of success in human endeavours. It's what Yorubas call Amubo. No everyone will have these problems because not everyone has spiritual battles. Real spiritual battles is not something that comes into your life after you are matured. People are born with this battles (Ogun). But it's when u reach age of maturity, of trying to find your way in life that you start noticing something is wrong. These things enter into people lives by things people that know when they are little have done. Through all sorts of evils of the past. Christ embassy believe once u become born again, all those things are in the past, you are new person. Another misinterpretation of scriptures. When Bible says you are old man is dead, that all things become new. It's talking about the renewal of mind. You live a new kind of life. My Dear Friend, all of these knowledge that you quote here are still the knowledge that have been ed down from different older cultures and traditions having their roots in idolatry,magic and soccery, which have been ed down and are now also believed by many African christians today..we will not use a traditional manual to live a christian life.. These have no biblical reference that you can quote.. u make reference to Yoruba and similar traditional circles where this knowledge is strongly held.. do me a favour by quoting one scripture that s your believe.. The pastor did not misinterpret the scripture but has mentioned the only 2 scenarios he knows of in the bible that are similar to eating in the dream.. whether the 2nd was a trance or day dream is irrelevant , they are similar and are the closest cases ,except you can mention any other one we don't know of.. The bible specifically calls us soldiers of christ and told us to wear the whole armour of God and above all the shield of faith with which we put off or quench all those evil fiery arrows, so it's clear to us that we are all in a spiritual battle and christ is the head of the army.the Lord of host. no one wareth and entangles himself with the affairs of men. So dont make that mistake that some of us think there is no battle. It is light vs darkness. If the light goes down darkness will come in immediately but with much light around darkness is pushed far off and we are aware..abi how does darkness enter a room with light? It is impossible...except you put off the light or how else can it be explained.. it is battle to the end but as victors in christ we have shifted the focal point of our battle to the fight of faith and keeping our lights shinning.. because it it with faith that we can quench all the arrows that is fired at us by the devil,including the witches and wizards you are talking about and moreso , without faith we can't please God. Faith is not a positive confession or positive speaking like some think.. Faith is an action..Faith is believing exactly what God said e.g you shall eat any deadly thing and it shall not hurt you.. confessing it and acting in line with what we believe and confessed...and that is how we quench the arrows that the witches or devils fires at us even in the dream.. so when we wake up and prophesy that everything works for our good , it is because we believe what God said and we confess the same and act according to our believe without shaking or fear and the evil arrow is automatically quenched based on our faith action. It is important to understand why we say what we say and act the way we do.. it is only knowing the truth of God's word that can deliver any man and the Jesus clearly stated so.if it's not in God's word we won't accept it, you can call us foolish or ignorant but we will die believing only what God's word says and no other. I rest my case.. 1 Like |

Great piece by pastor Chris..its surprising that most of the things christians believe these days are not even ed by the bible.. no one has been able to quote a clear cut scripture to counter his claim yet some people believe otherwise and so strongly..some are even arguing over trance and dream and that's the problem with African Christianity. .our beliefs are founded more on what our fore fathers believed and ed down to us , which we also carried into our christianity and that's why we are so religious yet not making much progress.. the bible said let the poor say I am rich and let the weak say i am strong.. that's exactly the opposite of your reality.. it also said there is no enchantment against Jacob and no divination against isreal.. yet some keep believing as true christians they can be bewitched when it's clear that the anointing on you breaks every yoke and you shall eat any deadly thing and it shall not hurt you..it says again that u are seated together with christ in heavenly places far above principalities and powers...its either you believe these words or you believe what you think in your head and the lies that Satan presents to you.. if u are really born again and not playing church , when you have such dreams like eating, he said wake up and prophesy that it's for your good and stop entertaining the fear.He is talking to believers here and not unbelievers... fear is the opposite of faith and faith is the shield or armour that we use in quenching the fiery darts of the enemy.. rather than entertaining fear that allows the enemy to penetrate u , exercise faith by prophesing your victory in christ if the dream is unclear to you..its that simple and I see nothing wrong with this teaching.. exercise your faith today and grow as a believer.. you shall know the truth and the truth shall make u free.. Shalom.. 3 Likes |

walls01: It makes no sense trying to convince him.. seeing that he is atheist by his recent threads on this forum. Christianity is for the called , even at that not all that's called r chosen.. if you don't have a God experience you don't have it and no man can give that experience to you.. |
