THE PLACE OF PHYSICAL SUBSTANCES IN THE GOSPEL FRIDAY APRIL 14
TEXT: GALATIANS 1: 6-9; 3:1-3
Key Verse: “Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?”
Galatians 3:3
Miracles are acts of supernatural occurrences in human existence. They include common and uncommon miracles. Common miracles occur often while uncommon miracles happens once in a life time e.g. Jesus walking on the sea, turning water into wine, handkerchief and apron from the body of the Apostle Paul healed the sick, the shadow of Peter healed the sick, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip after baptizing the Ethiopian Eunuch. All these happened within a period of time and never occurred again. The gospel of Christ is the gospel of faith. Take note that the present day miracles of apron, handkerchief, holy water, anointing oil, etc are not from God. The devastating effects of the use of these materials are enormous. They include:
(1) This practice shifts the attention of man from God to physical substances. The curse of God rests on these preachers;
(2) It prevents the salvation of sinners who turn their faith to material things. This is idolatry;
(3) To them, faith can be obtained not on God alone but also physical substances Galatians 3:1-3;
(4) The use of these physical materials is a revisit to the “selling of Indulgence” by the Catholic Popes during the dark ages. The promotion of these anointed objects has taken over the place of Jesus;
(5) Faith in these physical objects is a recourse to the larger temptation of natural man on earth who always seek to represent God through physical objects. These object prayed upon by the prophets are carefully kept by members;
(6) Satan can take advantage of the shipwreck of these men of God 2 Corinthians 2: 11; 11: 13 – 15.
Thought of the day: Beware of idolatry
Song of the day: Give me the old time religion 3x its good enough for me
Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 15-16; Luke 14:25-35

August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
