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.

He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...
