Seun don't allow Christians to comment in your Islam threads. You don't want people to disrespect your prophet Mohammed and Islam faith, but you like to disrespect Christianity and Christ.

I swear !

You may have been encouraged to do something for God in your church. It is a good idea, but you need to take caution.
Before serving God in a church, you need to pray well for the following reasons.

(1) To know if the church is truly of God and what spirit is really controlling the church. I tell you, if you serve God with your whole heart in a church that serves the devil, you are technically serving the devil, even if you are innocent. So no matter the prayers, worship, praises a church gives openly to God, if the founding pastors use occultic powers and demons to operate, you are technically serving satan no matter how innocent you are.

(2) To know what department, role or function God wants you to do. If God directs you to a unit in the church, He wants to bless you through that unit, and will empower you to be profitable in such unit.
The first thing to do is to understand the Church, their doctrines etc. Then, ask yourself if you agree with their teachings and believe.

Then, you can start thinking of services. You can't come into a system and try to change them from the inside

Religion is one of the major causes of poverty in Africa today and stoping Africa from developing.

People just expect an imaginary sky daddy to solve all their issues instead of being pragmatic. The funiest thing is that all the bullshits call prayer doesn't work but people are so brainwashed.

You will have more luck getting rich or successful playing bet9ja with a strategy than praying on a mountain somewhere for a sky daddy to send a ghost to deposit money in to your account.

People that died every day because of diseases or accident a larger chunk of them are fervent christians, no prayer can save any one from dying untimely just wish not to be unlucky.

If not for the fear of Hell fire many people would not be christians, christianity is all driven by fear and belief in bullshits magic.

Your god is all powerful but will rather watch people masturbate than to solve most of the sufferings of the world to prove his existence. That's not a good and compassionate god like most Christians claimed, he is cruel and a psycho he doesn't exist though.

Well it's good to hear you are an evangelist...we do hope you are still one.
I myself used to teach Sunday school and once shared tracts at sango ota and did before dawn preaching once at fagba area in Lagos.

May God help us to always be useful to him and His kingdom.

yes you may be right that religion has caused Africa damage but not Christianity. Jesus Christ criticized the pharisees and saducees in his days that practiced religion. Christianity isnt religion but a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and a way of life. Christianity was formed from the word Christian which means Christ like. If majority of Africans were Christ like, you'll agree with me that Africa would be a better place. If people adhered to Christ's instructions and pattern their lives after him, the world would be a sweet and safe place.
As for prayers not working, that's your own experience and i cannot argue the reality of your experience with you but for others that have gotten results through prayers, you cannot tell them otherwise because it's the reality of their experience aswell.
Where in the bible did you find God throwing monies from heaven to people? But in the bible, you can find principles to be wealthy.
God is not the one making the world a bad place, it is humans making it a terrible place and he has offered a solution in Jesus Christ and that if we all get to believe in him and live as he instructs us to, the world would be a better place.
Peace

That's your problem. I don't have a church nor members online or offline. I model my life as Christ wants us Christians to that people will view my life and be convinced about God. I handle my work and work my hands with all diligence. There's no guile in me, nothing that belongs to anyone is found in my custody and I pursue righteousness with all my strength and might


I hear the Holy Spirit clearly and commune with Him. Heaven is not just my goal but my lifestyle. I wasn't born into a poor home so money can't convert me. I fear no one so I declare truth without fear of any human.


I consider myself dead to the pleasures of this world. I stay off women, I chew the world. I spend 3-5 hours daily either on scriptures of listening to messages. I go my way taking each day as my last as a dead man. Knowing fully well I must stay raptureable


Sex doesn't move me. Cheating people and money doesn't move me. I have no ceause to lie or fear anyone.

I love my Father so passionately and He brags about me to people. Any Christian gathering I enter and prophesy breaks out, God brags about My love for Him and Him for me. If He wants me to die now, I'm ready


I'm not your typical Nigerians Christian. Jesus Christ is all I need and will ever need. I don't need anything additional or extra

I took my time to follow d comments, very unusual of me to read more than 3 messages.
I must commend the grace of God upon you..
I pray the lost soul too can be saved by His grace...the Lord will deliver them from ignorance especially
"guybewise".

Pls I will like you to guide in how to hear from God and also speaking in tongues..
Pls I want practical not just talks or teaching.

God bless

The worst occult human being I've witnessed vibed well, preaches mad. If I show you the video of him worshipping and preaching you won't find fault. Took time to recognize he was a neck deep occult worshipper. Testing won't work in all circumstances. We should pray and ask God for revelation

True. There are many occultic pastors and churches out there.

3 major signs of an occultic church:

1. They don't preach holiness, repentance, fear of God, evangelism, restitution, rapture, hell fire, heaven, etc.

2. They preach mostly on miracles, power, financial blessings, giving, prosperity, breakthroughs, etc.

3. The pastors indulge secretly in sinful lifestyles and yet demonstrate God's power in church.

Before Jesus commissioned the movement in the first century people throughout the world believe in GOD but their opinion differs so the young man from Nazareth admonished his own disciples to go and visit people in their homes to introduce oneness in thought regarding GOD, if the householder agrees with Jesus' disciples that means both the disciples and such householder has become worshipers of the same God but if not then each person will have to call on the God that soothes their liken.
So Christianity wasn't established the way most people think today, you don't just wake up and think you must join a religion rather Christ's disciples will first preach to you, you have to decide if their message makes sense for them to continue teaching you what their founder commanded before you can dedicate your life to their God.
It's idol worshipers that used to wake up and decide which god they will worship without someone preaching to them or teaching them the standards of the god in question!
