PERIL OF IGNORANCE AMONG PASTORS

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: PERIL OF IGNORANCE AMONG PASTORS

TEXT: ACTS 18:24-28. 

SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 3RD

Key verse: Acts 18: 26: And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
Question: What is the fate of pastors who are sincerely ignorant of the holiness standard of God?
Apollos was a humble man; a sincere preacher that loved God but an ignorant one. He was not teaching the full word of God; what he knew he did well, but he did not do much. Aquila and Priscilla had come across him and they called him and said come. We love your zeal and what you are doing but we want to perfect you. This man only knew the baptism of John. He was talking to people to repent of their sins and turn to righteousness but he was not aware of Jesus because he knew only the baptism of John. John was baptized to show Christ’s coming so that people would turn to Him but Apollos did not know that Jesus had come. So, Aquila and Priscilla called him and talked to him; they presented to him the way of the Lord more perfectly. He was so humble; he learned and went to the churches of Christ as they directed him. Having known the scriptures, he mightily convinced the Jews proving by the scripture the lordship of Christ.  
Some pastors are wolves in sheep's clothing; they are out to destroy. They are too proud and do not want to learn. They only go by name; General Overseer, General Superintendent, Archbishop but full of ignorance. How many Bishops do we have in Nigeria? With that they are not ready to listen; they are not ready to learn and that is why they are scattering the sheep. All those that are under them are perishing. See the difference compared with Apollos. He is doing wrong; If he has a sincere heart and you get the correct material to him, or if you have a chance to carry the correct material to discuss with him, you will change him as Apollos was changed and the word of God will move forward. He will do much for Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thought for the day: Note that ignorance is not an excuse in law

Song for the day: Lord teach me Your word …

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 3-4; 1 Corinthians 13

For taking your time to study remain blessed. 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
