@truthonly001@Big_Mck "And perhaps that message needs to be said, and said loudly"
They've said it verbally and with corresponding actions.
Vusi being a popular person doesn't mean he's not cut from the same fabric...his intention might be sincere but I'm not surprised.
The Holy Spirit is not a force.
He is not an energy.
He is not a feeling.
He is a Person.
He speaks, teaches, guides, convicts, and comforts.
Don’t reduce the Holy Spirit to an experience.
He is God, and He desires to be known, not just felt.

A church is not a family business.
Being a pastor’s son or daughter doesn’t automatically qualify someone to lead God’s people.
In Scripture, leadership is based on calling, character, doctrine, and spiritual maturity, not bloodline.
If a pastor’s child is genuinely called and biblically qualified, praise God.
But the pulpit should never be inherited simply because of a last name.
The Church belongs to Christ, not to a family dynasty.

There, I fixed it for you 😀

We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
One of the greatest calls in the Christian life is to abide in Christ:
1. Remain in His Word, not your feelings. (John 15:7)
2. Pray in humble dependence on Him, not yourself. (John 15:7)
3. Obey His commands, even when obedience is costly. (John 15:10)
4. Remember that apart from Him you can do nothing of eternal value. (John 15:5)
5. Bear fruit that brings glory to the Father. (John 15:8)
6. Stay near the Vine every day. Fruit is produced through dependence, not self-effort. (John 15:4-5)
@jay_mikee Regardless of what you think about this reaction
I implore you to watch the video the minor prophets put together on the issues with TPT which is the main concern. It’s not just ‘one error’ but a track record of deception in relation to God’s sacred word

This is one of the things I find hilarious about the Quran.
Surah 8:41 came down after Badr. They had already fought, won and were arguing over the spoils. Then the revelation arrived with distribution rules.
God gave Moses a complete and comprehensive legal system at Sinai 50 days after they left Egypt. Criminal law, property rights, inheritance procedure. All for scenarios that had not happened yet. The one reactive episode in Torah is the daughters of Zelophehad, which expanded inheritance rights downward to people who had none. The Torah never created a personal exemption for Moses.
The Quran does the opposite. The revelation tracks desire. Muhammad wants to marry his adopted son’s divorced wife: the verse arrives and collapses the Arab prohibition on such marriages. He needs to manage spoils from a battle just fought: God speaks. He needs cover for a slave relationship: God speaks. He needs guests to stop lingering at his dinner table: God speaks.
Aisha watched this from inside the household and said to Muhammed “Your Lord does not hesitate to meet your desires.” That is in the Sahih Bukhari. His most beloved wife (child bride) made the same structural observation that it seemed like revelation always came to conveniently bail him out or meet his wild desires.
Islam insists Allah is eternal, complete, and has boundless knowledge. No new information reaches Him. If that is true, He knew before creation that Badr was coming and that the spoils question would follow. Why did He not send Gabriel with a comprehensive legal framework as He did with Moses?
The first prophet gets a God who legislates for a future his people haven’t lived yet. The so called final prophet gets a God who speaks when it is convenient for one man. Very fishy.
Winning or losing a debate is not the evidence of the Christian faith, neither does it lead to eternal life. It is personal relationship with Jesus that matters.
There are professors of the Old/New Testament who are not necessarily Christians.
It’s function of faith, not head knowledge.
A 96-year-old woman wrote this letter to her bank, and it became so funny that the bank manager decided to share it in the New York Times.
To whom it may concern,
I’m writing to thank you for bouncing my check when I tried to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, only a few nanoseconds passed between when he deposited the check and when the funds finally arrived in my account. I’m referring, of course, to the automatic monthly transfer from my savings account, which has been set up for the past 31 years.
I want to give you credit for catching that short gap of time and also for charging me a $30 penalty for the trouble you caused.
I’m actually thankful because this incident made me rethink my financial habits. I realized that while I always answer your phone calls and letters, when I try to contact you, I’m stuck with your impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded messages that don’t help at all. So from now on, I’ll deal only with a real person.
From now on, my mortgage and loan payments will no longer be automatic. Instead, I will send a check to an employee at your bank who you will have to choose. No one else is allowed to open that envelope—it’s against the Postal Act.
I’m attaching an Application Contact Status form that your chosen employee will need to fill out. It’s a long one, but it’s necessary because I want to know as much about them as your bank knows about me. They’ll also need to provide proof of their financial situation and medical history, signed by a Notary Public.
Once this is all set up, I’ll give your employee a special PIN number for dealing with me. It will be 28 digits long—just like the number of button presses I have to do to check my account balance using your phone service. I’m just copying you, and they say imitation is the highest form of flattery.
I’ll also be updating my voicemail. Here’s the menu you’ll need to follow if you call me:
Press 1: To make an appointment with me. Press 2: To ask about a missing payment. Press 3: To reach me in my living room if I’m there. Press 4: To reach me in my bedroom if I’m sleeping. Press 5: To reach me in the bathroom if I’m in there. Press 6: To reach my mobile if I’m not home. Press 7: To leave a message on my computer (password needed). Press 8: To go back to the main menu.
If you need to make a complaint, I’ll put you on hold, but don’t worry—some pleasant music will play while you wait.
Oh, and just like you do, I’m adding a $50 setup fee for all of this. Please credit my account after each payment.
Sincerely,
Your Humble Client
(Just remember, this was written by a 96-year-old woman!)
Just in case you missed the bigger picture in this video:
The church needs people more than people need the church.
The church is losing people to the world. So, out of desperation, and considering, chiefly, the financial implications of that, the church has become more worldly to accommodate more worldly people.
The church has never been about saving people from the world, but about making people run from the world to the church - to buy salvation.
But people are no longer afraid and, consequently, are no longer running to the church, as the church has, for generations, proven its futility, it's impotency and lost credibility.
What you see in this video is the path many churches will take in the near future. Because the church needs people more than people need the church.
The church will become the world just to satisfy that need.
It's happening.

Time or not, if the conditional statement above is true, then, it must hold true.
