A Babe In Christ Became A Great Teacher To Professors Of Theology

A Babe In Christ Became A Great Teacher To Professors Of Theology

Examining the encounter between the blind man from birth that Jesus healed on a Sabbath day, and the position of the pharisees (teachers of the law) about the person of Jesus Christ as far as this healing was concerned, it gives me so much joy and confidence to continue in ministering the word of God undilutedly and in its raw state.

A lot of people are very quick to condemn anyone preaching the raw truth of the bible, especially when such a person is very young in the faith, as they will quickly dismiss him/her. They may even call such a one a devil or an agent of darkness.

Well, for this young man to dare preach to big time pastors of the law, their pride, arrogance and self centredness could not allow them to receive the truth this young man was preaching and therefore, they summarily cast him out from among the people. What a pity!

May the LORD Jesus Christ empower you to keep on declaring His word in truth today in Jesus name. Amen.
Shalom!

John 9:1-34
1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.  9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

Now I Know Better.......

Now I Know Better.......

Why does the pastors of today so much hates Sister Linda Rika?

Today Sunday, 16th March, 2014, my pastor J. I, a Zonal pastor in the Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG, spoke against sister Linda, not as a result of his personal fasting and prayers to know the mind of God concerning sister Linda, but based on the position of Pastor E. A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of RCCG, who himself spoke his own mind about sister Linda and never of God.

He started by saying there's lady either from Cameron or somewhere else, that he does not even know her name but the wife does, and the whole church echoed 'sister Linda'. Linda they say it's a name of a serpent, according to pastor J. I.

In his words "When Pastor E. A. Adeboye says she is from the devil, I believed it because he is the one that anointed me, I schooled under him, and I minister under his anointing".

Dear friends, it is very unfortunate that the so called Christians of today, who are going to appear before God individually in judgment, would allow their fellow men to mislead and deceive them, and ultimately damn their soul in hell fire. What a pity!!

Let's even assume that sister Linda is actually from the devil. Are you going to hold on to such rumours or you will find out yourself from the One that reveals secret, that also know the heart of every man?

Now, if you ever find fault in sister Linda's testimony without the conviction of the Holy Spirit, one thing would be responsible for this: you don't actually know God and you are never a true born again Christian, irrespective of your church title, and years of service in the LORD.

Therefore, RCCG church members, unless you want to keep on deceiving yourselves. Is RCCG today not actually a church of compromise? Is the truth still in RCCG today? Why is there no difference between a common whore in the street and a supposed Holy Spirit filled, heaven ready RCCG members? You think God will overlook these rottenness in RCCG today and throw you people into heaven by default? You people must be day dreaming!

May the LORD Jesus Christ have mercy today on every single member of RCCG worldwide in Jesus name amen.

What Is The Testimony Of Your Salvation If You Were Truly Saved?

What Is The Testimony Of Your Salvation If You Were Truly Saved?

Text: Galatians 5:24 “And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

Romans 6:4 “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

When I newly gave my life to Jesus Christ by repenting from my sins and confessing all of them in the early 90s, I was very zealous for LORD, vibrant and committed to serving the LORD in spirit and in truth John 4:23-24. To the best of my understanding then as a young Christian, studying the bible was a delight and listening to pastors preaching the word of God was with joy and true happiness in my heart, though I was not conversant with the issue of pastors not preaching the whole truth of the word of God.

All my interests by then were to hear the word of God and obey it whether it was preached in truth or not. No wonder Paul says in Romans 10:2 “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.” I was truly zealous for the LORD but without knowledge hence it is easy for anybody to become very familiar with the teachings and doctrines of their pastors today but will never get to know the whole truth of the bible, as they are not well taught and grounded in it. This is why the bible enjoined us to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

Therefore, for every professing Christian today who has no form of difference(s) or separations from his/her previous lifestyle when he/she was in sin without the knowledge of Jesus Christ, it means that such a supposed Christian is playing a ‘religious card’ and never a Christian. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Likewise, Galatians 6:15 “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.” So, you can see that anyone not yielding to the true messages of the total bible today is none of Christ Romans 8:9, and he/she is still walking in carnality and in flesh Romans 8:7, Galatians 5:16.

However, when I backslided from the faith, though still in the church and still very much active in church activities to some extent, I was now picking offence within me whenever I hear sound biblical teachings. This was the evidence that proved to me then that I have backslided as I was no longer happy to hear the word of God again and reading even the bible became a tough thing. In my inner mind, I was always saying that ‘this pastor is preaching against me’ whenever my conscience gripped me as such a pastor will be preaching concerning my sins in his/her sermon. I started keeping girlfriends, a thing I never did when I was still in the world. But, I was still saying my prayers, not knowing that God does not hear the prayers of a sinner John 9:31. Thank you LORD Jesus, for saving my soul from hell fire.

Now, if you are the type of Christian that always says ‘judge not’, ‘we are not under the law’, ‘we are under grace’ and so on and so forth whenever the word of God is preached to you in its raw form, just know that you are not a Christian at all. You are just a church goer hence 2 Timothy 3:5 says “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” You see, you are surely having a form of godliness but you have never encountered Christ at all. Friend, you are in great danger in this state. 2 Timothy 4:3 “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”

If you claimed to be a Christian and there is no evidence of 2 Corinthians 5:17 in your life, where then lies your so called Christianity? How can you call yourself a Christian and yet, your wardrobe, speech, actions, likes and the rest are not changed? My dear friend, is it possible for a white cloth to be stained and yet not seen by people? If you are truly saved, everything about you must change to the glory of God the Father.

When Apostle Paul was battling between the sin of compromise and obedience to God, he cried out to the Almighty God to help him overcome those sins by even calling himself a ‘wretched man’ (miserable man). Romans 7:14 “For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”

But today, the case we have in the churches is where supposed Christians are very comfortable in their sins. Their pastors have so make them very comfortable in their sins that even though they come to church with witchcraft finger nails, mosquito eye lashes, jezebel face and mouth, Delilah eyes lids, prostitutes clothing, medusa hairdo, and decorating themselves with all kinds of idols, their conscience will never condemn them. This is the sorry state the church of Christ has found herself today. They are very active in their religious activities, giving the best offerings, very punctual and attentive to follow their pastor’s instructions 100% without fail. Zeal without knowledge indeed!

If you find yourself in the above category, please you need to surrender your life afresh to Jesus Christ right now because, if you die like this, you will surely make it to hell fire. I pray this will not be your portion today in Jesus name. Amen.

Friend, the bible declared in Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” If you have truly been quickened by the word of God, you will not keep doing the things you are doing now. If you are truly born again, you will not see other Christians preaching to you about your dressing and conduct and then pick offence. If you had been regenerated in your spirit man, brethren you will love holiness, walk in holiness and live in holiness inside and outside Hebrews 12:14, 1 Thessalonians 5:23. It is my prayer today that you will receive the grace to truly repent, obey and follow God in truth in Jesus name. Amen.

To bring this message to a close, Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:27 “But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.” Have you truly submit yourself unto the LORD? Is Christ truly your Master? Are you very confident that should a car hit you right now and you die, that you will make heaven? With the use of rings, jewelries, attachment, weaveon, make-up, seductive clothes, women wearing trousers, and other satanic instrument on your body, are you sure God will ever accept you into His holy kingdom with these?

Please, don’t deceive yourself at all. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ now and escape the damnation of hell fire. Do not allow your obedience to the words of your pastor deceive you about making heaven, even though heaven have no record of your obedience to the word of God. Your tithes, offerings, thanksgiving, vows, sowing seed, prayers, evangelism, winning souls, partnering with your church/pastor, having the biggest congregation, being the best preacher of the bible, and others good stuff you are doing for the LORD, will never take you to heaven when you still have the materials of sin and Satan with you and in your body.

All of these things you are doing are just ‘religious practices’ and will amount to mere sacrifices when you fail to obey the word of God, as the LORD demands total obedience to Him from you. 1 Samuel 15:22 “And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.”

Isaiah 1:10-20

1 “Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.”

Ecclesiastes 5: 1 “Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.”

Hosea 6:6 “For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.”

Hebrews 10:6 “In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.”

Mark 12: 33 “And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

Jeremiah 7: 22 “For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: 23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.”

The conclusion of the whole matter the bible says to ‘fear God and keep His commandments.’ Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”

Repent now before it is too late. God bless you.

Shalom!

Testimony Of How I Encountered Christ - Ezeonu Chimuanya

TESTIMONY OF HOW ENCOUNTERED CHRIST

By: Ezeonu Chimuanya

Culled from https://www.facebook.com/ezeonu.chimuanya.50/posts/279283572236204

Before I proceed, I will like to sing a song.

 Song#

I do them no more, since I give my life to Jesus, I do them no more, praise God I do them no more…..

MY FAMILY BACKGROUND AND HOW I MET CHRIST

We are five in our family, 2 girls and 3 boys. I am the first son, and surrendered my life to Jesus Christ in September 2012, at a youth conference that was held and organized by Brother Shalom Onwuka.

He is a lecturer at Unizik, and I really thank God for him. He is a youth minister; he has zero tolerance for sin and worldliness. He is only interested in winning souls to the kingdom of God, reviving the youths and churches, preparing saints for the Lord's return. He has no time for prosperity, motivational, fried rice, and chicken and salad messages. My prayer for him is that God will uphold him till the end. May he never miss his reward in heaven. May God grant him more grace to move on in Jesus name amen.

BEING A LIAR

As a young boy when I was still in the world, I love telling lies. In fact, I am a professional in telling lies.

FOOTBALL ADDICTION

I loved football more than any other thing. I can even die for football. I would prefer to watch football on Sunday rather than going to church on Sunday. Manchester United was my club as of then and it gives me a lot of joy to watch them play. I nearly ran mad for football. I was so much addicted in watching and playing football. As a fan of Manchester United, I knew all the history about Man U, I know all the names of their players, both the ones on loan. But I thank God that finally, I am delivered from that wicked instrument called football that the enemy is using to cage majority of our youth, even the married ones are also involved.

BEING A CRIMINAL

I was a notorious criminal though I like to pretend as a gentle boy. When I was still with my brother, he thought I was a good boy, not knowing that I was a ravening wolf in sheep clothing. My brother trusted me as his own brother, not knowing that I am a slow poison that kills faster than acid. I usually assist him in his business because he taught I was with him, not knowing that I am a devourer. I was allowed to handle money, which gave me access to steal every blessed day. I was a real terrible boy as I would pretend as if I knew nothing, but I was really a lion, though in the shop everything is recorded, but as a smart guy, I know how to play it cool.

THE ISSUE OF WOMEN AND PORNOGRAPHY

As a young boy I loved girls so much. I was in a bad company as a young guy and this was one of the things I ever regretted. No wonder Jehovah said in 1 Corinthians 15:33- “don't be misled, bad company corrupt good manners.” To be frank, I never knew pornography exists, until I came across one guy that told me he loves seeing naked women, and what he does throughout the night is to search and watch naked women online. He then introduced a porn site to me. I visited the site and when it opened, it was all about naked women and sex. Since then, I lost control of myself and started lusting after girls. I usually spend a lot of time searching and watching pornographic films online and this corrupted my thought so badly.

I was really addicted to watching naked women, as I always enjoyed watching it to the extent that, I can't live each day without watching it. I would starve myself just to save money for pornography. My heart- thought was totally damaged as a result of pornography, it really damaged a lot in me.

WORLDLY MUSIC

Also, I loved playing worldly music. Leaving worldly music was one of the challenges I had when I gave my life to Jesus, but I thank God for showing me mercy in September 2012, at a youth conference where I surrendered everything to Jesus, including watching pornography, playing worldly music and others. But the issue of pornography was like an impossible task for me to overcome, because I was already addicted to it. My heart was already polluted, and so I backslided many times as a result of pornography. I tried all I could but to no avail. The battle of overcoming the lust of the flesh and watching pornography seems impossible to me because each time I tried to overcome it, the more I see myself watching it. I nearly gave up the battle. I thought I would never triumph over pornography, and the addiction of pornography is like a prison without any door, no way to escape.

MY DELIVERANCE

So, while I was still struggling with the issue of pornography, a voice said to me ‘don't give up’. I usually cried to God for deliverance because I have been attending revival programmes seeking for deliverance, but no result. I even told one evangelist about it, though he prayed for me, and yet no result. It takes heaven to deliver me. Thereafter, God showed me a revelation of rapture, and I also listened to Sister Linda's message. Since then, I lost interest in pornography, all praises to God. Since then, God has been helping me.

That was how I was delivered, but that's not all. I also made a covenant with my hands, eyes. I started to withdraw from some certain things and now I am totally free praise God hallelujah.

You Want To Possess This Wicked World? What A Pity!!! You Are The Most Miserable Human Being!!

You Want To Possess This Wicked World? What A Pity!!! You Are The Most Miserable Human Being!!

1 Corinthians 15:19 “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.”

Psalm 49:17 "For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him."

1 Timothy 6:7 "For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out."

This world is temporal, and even if it may last forever but you the human being residing in it right now will waste away someday, whether you like it or not. If you are doubting me, please kindly ask your biological father or mother right now 'Mum/dad, where is your grand father/mother?

What was their answer to you please? Kindly comment your answer please.

You see, this world was framed by the word of God. Hebrews 11:3 "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

And this same world is reserved unto fire by the same word of God. 2 Peter 3:7 "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men."

Please, seek the kingdom of God in righteousness today Matthew 6:33 because, if you love this wicked world, the love of the Father will certainly not reside with you. 1 John 2:15 "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."

Shalom!

Dressing For Identity? Are You Dressing To Please The LORD Or Yourself And People?

Dressing For Identity? Are You Dressing To Please The LORD Or Yourself And People?

Proverbs 7:10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.

There's this saying in the Christian parlance that says: “You are addressed by the way you dress, and the way you dress shows your address.”

A Yoruba person is easily identified by his/her dressing mode. So also is an Edo, Hausa, Effik or an Igbo person.

Therefore, you that claimed to be a Christian, what address does your dressing style shows? Answer it for yourself because you can only deceive your fellow human beings but not God.

To make heaven, you must therefore dress in your spotless wedding garment in holiness and righteousness, just like God. Matthew 22:11-12, Ephesians 5:27, Psalm 132:9.

Shalom!

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 5:14 Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Understanding Biblical Teachings On Christian Living From Denominational Church Doctrines

Understanding Biblical Teachings On Christian Living From Denominational Church Doctrines

Text: John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Psalms 119:89 “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.”

Psalms 119:103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”

James 1:17 “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.”

Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Most of the Christians today especially those not thoroughly, genuinely and sincerely grounded in the word of God, misconstrue the teachings and practices of true holiness, truth, obedience and righteousness, by genuinely born again Christians, as a denominational church doctrine. No! You are mistaken.

Being born again John 3:3, as it is claimed today by supposed Christians go beyond mere mouth declarations, proclamations and religious behavioural performances/showmanship. To be born again entails the complete yieldedness of the body, soul and spirit to the total dictates of the word of God.

Now in order to get a better understanding of living a true Christian life, we must therefore associate ourselves with the TRUTH which Jesus Christ and the bible represents John 14:6; 17:17. This is to further ensure that we know this truth for everyone to be set free John 8:32 from the lies of the devil concerning obedience to the word of God John 8:44.

Again, we must also know that the bible is God HIMSELF John 1:1. Therefore your wilful disobedience to the standards of the written WORD which is holy and pure 2 Timothy 3:15, Psalm 119:140, and given by the Holy Spirit through holy men 2 Peter 1:20-21, which were written by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness 2 Timothy 3:16, will be so damning, and condemning yourself towards the righteousness of God Daniel 9:14, Romans 10:3, and is capable of leading your soul to the damnation in hell fire Revelation 22:19.

The major reason for the continuous disobedience of the word of God by men today, is the fact that men are now yielding themselves as instruments of unrighteousness, by establishing their own righteousness through denominational church doctrines Romans 10:3 “For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.”

These human imposed church doctrines therefore will never allow them to obey the word of God as they are operating in carnality and never in the spirit. Romans 8:6 “For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

Otherwise, how do you reconcile the various denominational church doctrines today being practice by the different churches in total opposite of the biblical injunctions as spelt out by Jesus Chris and Apostle Paul as regarding ONE LORD?

Mark 12:29 “And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord.” Ephesians 4:5 “One Lord, one faith, one baptism.”

The denominational churches today do not present God as one LORD at all. Denomination A is practicing the bible differently from denomination B, and both of them are claiming to be serving the same God. Isn't this a clear manifestation of unbiblical practices, doctrines and commandments of men and an indication that they don't actually know God? Colossians 2:22, 1 Timothy 4:1. No wonder Paul chided the Christians of Athens, as their services, offerings, tithes, devotions, worship, obedience and sacrifices were made and dedicated to an unknown god, due to their ignorance of the worship of the true God. Acts 17:23 “For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.”

In the meantime, if you claim to be a born again Christian and Holy Spirit filled, but your dressing lifestyle, attitudes, speeches, conducts and behaviours are patterned after the rudiments of this world, then you are a true born against Christian and never a born again Christian at all. This is because the friendship of this world and inseparableness from the operations and standards of this world is enmity against God James 4:4, 2 Corinthians 6:14-17.

When I was growing up in the faith, we used to identify any female without trousers, makeup, earrings, hair extensions, perming, nail/mouth painting and proper tying of the hair with scarf as ‘deeper life’ members. This is even though we don’t know the lady in question about her religion not to talk of her church denomination if she was a Christian. The conclusion over such women by then was that, anybody that is not a deeper life member was not a true Christian because, they possess what other supposed Christian women lack – decent and moderate dress life. In fact even right now, you will still mistaken any true born again Christian sister without the use of the devilish materials on their bodies as a deeper life member,  even though such a sister has never been to any deeper life church whatsover. Why? Because of the simple but godly dress lifestyle of such a sister.

Now, to allude such a godly dressing Christian lifestyle of a true born again sister as a doctrine of the deeper life church is pure ignorance of the word of God. The bible says in 2 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Go and study your bible and you will soon discover that the people you are even calling heroes of faith today due to their supposed long time walk with God are nothing but pure rebellious souls against God. From their physical appearance to the conduct of their Christian service, all you will see are fake characters of a supposed Christian.

How can the Almighty God says ‘Ye are gods’ Psalm 82:6 and Jesus Christ our LORD reaffirmed it while on earth John 10:34, and yet you don’t resemble Him in holiness and righteousness and claim to belong to Him? Didn’t God created you in His own image and likeness? Genesis 1:27. How can the son of the Lion of the tribe of Judah become a goat? Is this possible? You are just a liar and that is what God calls you in 1 John 4:20.

Therefore to remind you that God expects complete obedience to Him in everything Isaiah 42:8, you must be holy in all your conduct because God is holy 1 Peter 1:15-16. Your holiness must be total without any form of defilement whatsoever Revelation 21:27, Ephesians 5:27, both in your body, soul and spirit Romans 12:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 5:23. You must also realize that as the Almighty God is interested in the holiness of your heart Joel 2:13, he is also interested in the holiness of your body because you are not the owner of your body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit today 1 Corinthians 6:19. How therefore do you expect the Holy Spirit to reside in an unholy body with all forms of filthiness and defilement?

Moreover, if you had been seeing true Christians not using the instruments of sin and wickedness in their body (makeup, weaveon, attachment, wedding rings, jewelries, earrings, bangles, fake nails, painting fingers and faces, high heels, eyebrow, mini skirts, women wearing trousers, spaghetti, and all other jezebelic and satanic seductive materials), please don’t mistaken them as keeping a mere denominational church doctrine no, they are instead obedient children of the most high God. I pray you will become one today if you are not right now in Jesus name.

Furthermore, to prove your identity as a true born again you claimed to be, you must put on the new man who is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:24 “And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” You must also come to prove that ‘old things’ are truly passed away 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Remember, you can only be set free by the truth you know. John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Don’t also forget that the expectation of God concerning you is to FEAR Him, obey HIM and keep all HIS commandments. Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

Read these few passages of the scriptures below concerning the WORD of God prayerfully and it shall be well with you.

God bless you.

SELF-Will and SELF-Fulfilment

Posted By: These Lies Must Stop

SELF-Will and SELF-Fulfilment...not much of a difference...for the former denotes the determination to please one's SELF...while the other...the determination to fulfill...or satisfy one's SELF...either way...SELF is not being denied as Christ taught...

SELF...the principle of I..Me..and Mine...the protection and promotion of SELF-interest above all other things...the furtherance of one's OWN agenda is the world''s way to success...and the closer one gets to it...the farther one gets away from GOD'S Agenda...

For there are only two ways to travel a road...TOWARDS...or AWAY FROM...to lose one's life in the service of others...or to save one's life in the service of SELF...

Matthew 16:25
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

To save one's life is to do all within one's power to protect the interests of that life...Peter rebuked Christ for teaching his disciples that he was going to suffer many things and then be killed and rise up again on the third day...

Christ told the devil in him to-

Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Matthew 16:23

Peter wanted Christ to protect his own self interests and not do anything that would cause this 'teaching' of his to come to pass...The notion of the disciples then was that Christ had come to take up his inheritance as King of the Jews...so why would he be talking about dying...hence Christ had to reveal truth...

Matthew 16:24
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself , and take up his cross, and follow me.

There is a plan that SELF always has for itself...but there is also a plan that God always has for the believer...

Matthew 16:26
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Nothing...one will lose his/her soul...(SELF)...to damnation...if one's investments are wholly or mainly in this world...

Are you spending your life investing in some other life/lives other than you and yours?

The investments we make in this world determine the rewards in eternity...climb to the pinnacle of success if you so choose...and receive the praise of men...but know that because your investments are mostly material...so also will your rewards...this is the gaining of the whole world and the losing of one's soul...or what reward does one expect in eternity for spending one's entire life in achieving great success on the material plane of existence?

Matthew 16:25
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Does Christ speak of losing one's life physically here for his sake? Certainly not! But he speaks about using one's life for HIS OWN PURPOSES...rather than ONE'S OWN PURPOSES...hence I lose my life when I give it up for another purpose other than that which I originally intended for it...

Paul had planned to become a lawyer and in fact had become one...till he met Christ and chose to give up his life as a lawyer in favour of the life Christ intended for him...doubtless his learned colleagues must have been terribly disappointed to see such a brilliant legal mind 'go to waste!'...but such is always the way of the world...anything that appears not to be ADDING VALUE TO ONE'S LIFE ON PLANET EARTH...is seen as a waste of time...a waste of life...

The alabaster box that was broken...was such a waste of money...as seen through the eyes of the world...yet the Master regarded the act very highly...

Whatever the world says and agrees with...you can be sure Christ disagrees with...yes by all means you should serve as an usher in church...or as a chorister...because you certainly cannot sit in church and do nothing...but also know that your work will be tried by fire...and it will not be the work of shaking people's hands as they arrive in church...or singing faithfully week after week.

None of these folks....

1 Corinthians 3:13-14
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire ; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

The only works that can be tested by the fire of eternity are spiritual...not musical or fleshly or any other...neither is it the sincerity of heart that is meant by the above scripture...no...one needs seek God's face to determine divine assignment...for if the life you live now is purely based on circumstances...personal ambitiions...and desires...then you run the race you have set for yourself...you fulfil your personal assignments...

But in the process of doing your job from where your income comes...there is always a place for the fulfilment of divine assignment...with the people you meet...those for whom you open doors that no one else has time to open...the little kindnesses one shows to those whom one has never met before...the break throughs you give to others that mean little or nothing to you...a word of love to one...a word of ministry to another...the continuous looking for opportunities to be a blessing to someone that is helpless to help him/herself...the regular intercession for friends at work who are well on their way to Hell...these are the denyings of SELF....these are divine labours...but the labourers are so few!

The constant looking out for others...rather than for me and mine...is a signal to God that one is ready for divine assignment...

Please read this story.
A story was told of a man who needed power desperately from his village juju priest, who specialised in curing people with snake bites, power to pick up any kinds of snake alive and also make people to disappear in case of any form of accident. This man approached the juju priest to get all the power mentioned above.
The priest told the man to bring a white cock and a tuber of yam as part of the initiation. The man got everything the priest required the two proceeded to a shrine in the forest.
The priest roasted the yam, dipped it in palm oil, and he picked the cock to be slaughtered. However, the noise from the cock attracted a cobra that lived nearby the shrine. The juju man sighted the cobra from a distance and took to his heels with a great speed with the cock in his hand. The cobra started pursuing him.

The man who was ignorant of what was going on asked the juju priest who is an older man, "baba, why are you running?" The baba answered "can't you see a very big snake chasing me?"
The man who was full of surprises saw the snake between him and the baba. So he asked the baba again "but you have the power to catch any kinds of snake alive, now why are you running away?"

By this time, the baba looked back and saw the snake still following him, he threw the cock away in order to increase his speed. He then told the man "if you like stay there.  If you are bitten by that snake, I don't have any power to cure you. If you like stay behind, as for me I am gone."

Meanwhile, the people that were returning from their farms saw how this old man was running at that speed, and without asking questions they joined the race with the old man leading, except one born again Christian.

With that speed, the old crashed on the door to his room, he collapsed and finally fainted in his room. When he was revived with plenty of water, he told the people that gathered around him that in his life time, he never run a race like that.
He said that what he respected most became his worst enemy and that the person he hated most (the born again Christian) in the village who always come early in the morning to condemn idol worshipping, became his saviour because as soon as the snake saw the born again Christian, it stood still and without lifting a stick, he commanded the snake to die in the name of Jesus and it was so. He then picked up the dead snake to show the baba who confessed and gave his life to Jesus Christ immediately.

Are you in these categories, Isaiah 44:9-11 said they that make a graven image are all of them vanity and their delectable things shall not profit, and they are their own witnesses. They see not nor know that they may be ashamed. Verse 11 behold all his fellows shall be ashamed and the workmen, they are of men, let them all be gathered together. Let them stand up, yet they shall fear and shall be ashamed together.

That Juju that you put in your pocket under your pillow, in your car, around your waist, and in your stomach. Those things you believed so much on other than Jesus, it will not save you when you needed it most.

Run to JESUS CHRIST NOW!!!

Dealing With The Serpentine Spirits In The Churches Of Christ Today

Dealing With The Serpentine Spirits In The Churches Of Christ Today

Text: Genesis 3:1-7
1 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

In figurative terms, a serpent means a subtle, treacherous and malicious person. When people that are best describes as snakes are the ones mounting the pulpit today, what do you expect from their ministration?

Majority of our today’s pastors in the churches of Christ are pure snakes. They are cunning, subtle, very crafty and devouring without mercy. This is because the doctrines of denominationalism have destroyed the once sacred altars of God.

In the today’s churches, thieves, ritualist, occultic men/women, Satanist, 419ners, fraudsters, embezzlers, assassins, kidnappers, witch doctors, witches & wizards, forgers, impersonators, liars, abortionists, divorcees, lesbians, homosexuals, smokers, drunkards, rapists, idol worshippers, sorcerers, and what have you, are the GOs, GSs, senior pastors, founders/president, bishops and pope, etc. They don’t care for the sheep because they are hirelings and not the shepherd John 10:12-13.

Apostle Paul, understanding the implications of serpents as shepherds over the sheep, fathomed this out in his ministry when he declared that grievous wolves would arise after his death not sparing the sheep. Acts 20:29 “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.” Just as Paul pointed out, many of our pastors today are best described as wolves in sheep clothing, just as Jesus said in Matthew 7:15 saying “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”

How do you account for a pastor seeing his/her members going astray in respect to the word of God and such a pastor keep quite? This is the best way to describe serpentine spirits in the churches of Jesus Christ today because when they questioned, they will rather remain silent as they know that they are guilty and cursed Genesis 3:14. Their supposed wisdom is deceptive in that it is meant for their household alone to make heaven at your detriment.

To further prove to you that serpentine spirits have taken over the churches today, Paul warned us in 2 Corinthians 11:3 even with pains in his heart when he declared “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.” Do you understand this passage of the scripture?

Paul is saying that as God warned Adam with death any day he will eat of the forbidden fruit Genesis 2:17, Satan came and told them ‘ye shall not surely die’ Genesis 3:4, this is the same way the serpentine spirits in the churches today are telling their members that it doesn't matter anymore about the way they are living their lives.

The word of God in Ezekiel 18:4, 20 says that “The soul that sinneth, it shall die” but the serpentine spirits are saying “God is too merciful to cast any soul to hell fire”.

The bible in Deuteronomy 22:5 declared any woman using the attire of a man and vice versa as “abomination unto the LORD thy God” but the serpentine spirits are saying that “there are men trousers as well women trousers”.

In Romans 12:1-2, the bible says you should “present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God” “but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind”, the serpentine spirits are saying that “you are the owner of your body and therefore at liberty to do anything on it”.

In 1 Samuel 15:22, the bible asked: “Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?” But the serpentine spirits are telling their members to “pay their tithes, offerings, online offerings/donations, partner with them, make pledges, vows, pay first fruit offerings/sacrifices, thanksgiving and others” even when such monies are from embezzled funds, gains from prostitutions, spoils from armed robbery etc.

The bible declared in 1 John 2:15 saying “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him”, but the serpentine spirits are saying “we must possess this world to show that we are serving God”.

Even when the bible says in Isaiah 3:18-23 that the LORD God Almighty will take away from HIS children:-
1. the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, 2. their cauls, 3. their round tires like the moon, 4. the chains, 5. the bracelets, 6. the mufflers, 7. the bonnets, 8. the ornaments of the legs, 9. the headbands, 10. the tablets, 11. the earrings, 12. the rings, 13. nose jewels, 14. the changeable suits of apparel, 15. the mantles, 16. the wimples, 17. the crisping pins, 18. the glasses, 19. the fine linen, 20. the hoods, 21. the vails, the serpentine spirits are however decorating their members with these cursed things and they say they must make heaven whether God like it or not. What a deception!!!

The Almighty God enjoined us to “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness” in Matthew 6:33 so that HE will add other things to us, the serpentine spirits are rather preaching “you are the head and not the tail”, “God give us power to make wealth” etc even though the kingdom of God is totally absent in their wealth making.

In  Matthew 5:48, the says “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” However, the serpentine spirits are saying that “it is not possible for anyone on earth to live a perfect life here on earth”, despite the fact that the bible clearly stated in James 3:2 saying “If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man.”

The bible also says that “as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation” 1 Peter 1:15, but the serpentine spirits are saying that “in as much as you are called a Christian, you are your way to heaven” even though you are never holy. Fools, how possible will this be when God says “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.”

Jesus Christ in John 3:3-7 says “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” But the serpentine spirits are explaining born again to mean “belonging to their denominational churches.”

God says “rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God” Joel 2:13 but the serpentine spirits are saying “once you stripe yourself of jewelries, ornaments, abominable dressing, make-up and others things, you have made heaven already”, even if their hearts are dirty and popping out “evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness” etc Mark 7:21-22.

It is however my prayer that as the Israelites in Numbers 21:7 prayed that God should take away the serpents from among them, so I pray today in Jesus name. “ Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.”

In summary, serpentine spirits in the churches of today are the spirits of compromise, seduction, lust, disobedience, self-righteousness, sinful attitudes/lifestyles, opposition to righteousness and holiness, hiding under to commit sin etc. with a form of godliness but denying the power thereof 2 Timothy 3:5. They quote the scriptures to deceive, rob and ultimately damn your soul in hell fire as result of you believing their lies John 8:44, as well as quoting the scriptures to suit their own selfish ego, while they keep telling you that God loves you even though you are sinning against HIM.

They are the ones telling you that it does not matter the way you dress, the way you talk, the places you go and the types of friends you keep. Look if you love yourself, please run away from all serpentine spirits possess pastors so that your soul will not be damned in hell fire. God bless you.

The Churches At The Gate Of Hell Ephesians 5:27

THE CHURCHES AT THE GATE OF HELL (Ephesians 5:27)

By: Emmanuel Samsonjude

Oh I saw it in my vision, oh who will join me to repair the altar of God before the sudden arrival of the Lord, who will support me to silent the satanic doctrine in the churches. Oh instead of the churches to prepare souls for rapture, they are preparing souls for great tribulation. Woe is you pastor that refused to warn your congregation from falling into the pit of hell says the Lord. (Jeremiah 10:21) (Jer 12:10).

The Lord told me "MY SON, LET ME SHOW YOU THE KINGDOM OF MY CHURCH" and I saw churches, aaaah uncountable churches, smoke was coming out from them, instead of fire to be burning in them, they are the churches at the gate of hell. (John 12:35)

Churches has now become market place, they will be selling anointing, pure water, holy water, ring, soap, apron, exchanging goods, ooooh you are at the gate of hell. Repent now and be saved. (John 2:15).
They will ask you to bring bitter leaf,banana,yam, key, padlock,native egg, honey,snail, feather,white cloth,black cloth,red cloth,pepper seed, coconut, if your church is doing such, they are at the gate of hell fire.
Why are you wasting your money on the churches that hate the truth, that refuse to preach the truth, their church is like paradise, they are building churches for mark of the beast that will take place after Rapture, I rather spend my money on evangelism than giving it out to the churches at the gate of hell.

I rather give out my money on soul to be win into the kingdom of God than joining those who are building churches for great tribulation, is better you repent and be saved. (Luke 13:5)
Any churches that never believed in holy ghost and speaking in tongue are at the gate of hell fire.
Any churches that never believed in reality of hell fire are at the gate of hell.
Any churches that never preached against worldly dressing are at the gate of hell.
Any churches that never preached about Restitution are at the gate of Hell.
Churches that are doing club, star club, champion club, whatever you may call it, they will now dress with the same cloth, they are at the gate of Hell.

Churches that are bowing before cross to pray are at the gate of hell. (Exodus 20:4)
Pastor that is receiving call on the altar during service are at the gate of hell.
Pastor going to the altar with perfume, iPad, hand fan,water to drink during preaching are at the gate of hell.
It is time to repent and return to the Lord, for this is the end time, for any moment from now, the trumpet will sound, therefore where will you be?
ARE YOU ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCHES AT THE GATE OF HELL ? THIS IS AN URGENT ESCAPE, ESCAPE FOR YOUR LIFE.

I saw the house of a brother here in Facebook in heaven, the angels are building it.
I saw also the house of a sister here, in fact I was surprise because they just started her house, I remember she once support one of the needs of OVERCOMERS GROUP, the Lord told me "WHAT SHE GAVE MY END TIME GROUP HAS MAKE THE ANGELS TO START BUILDING HER HOUSE" I was happy, I saw the house of many people, although some are not big in heaven, because they just started doing the right thing.

IT IS TIME TO RETURN TO THE LORD
