For taking your time to study remain blessed
THE MINISTER IS TO TEACH ALL DOCTRINES, NOT SOME OF IT
JUNE Monday 18th
Text: Matt. 28:18-20
Key Verse: Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Jesus’ command to His disciples when He gave the Great Commission was to teach EVERYTHING he has commanded for all believers to observe. Jesus did not segregate commands such that some churches will specialize in teaching on deliverance, another on holiness, another on breakthrough or another on prosperity and so on. Isaiah 28:9-10 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. After people are born again, they need to be taught all doctrines step-by-step, line-by-line, theme-by-theme, comparing verses that speak on the same doctrine, to bring them into one flow of thought in order to strengthen them in faith. We have doctrine of salvation, sanctification, water baptism, Holy Ghost baptism and so on. These are landmarks that should never be removed. Proverbs 22:28 Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.
Never neglect these doctrines because on them your salvation squarely rests and those of your hearers. Ignore the doctrines and you are no longer a Christian. You are now into heresy leading your hearers astray. The error of a leader is a misleading error. Paul admonished Timothy, 1 Timothy 4:15-16 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. Initial salvation is probational. Eternal salvation takes place at rapture or earlier death. You are born again, but you are not yet in heaven. Whether you enter heaven eventually or not is determined by how you deal with all doctrines of scripture. Paul was very conscious of this fact, hence he ensured that he taught the whole counsel of God so that he would be free of the blood of all men. Acts 20:26-27 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Thought for the day: Christian doctrines are not products on display in the supermarket that you cherry pick.
Song for the day: I will never, never stop my journey halfway
Bible reading for the day: Nehemiah 7-8; Acts 3
