TOPIC: DENOMINATIONALISM WAS INITIALLY WISDOM OF GOD November Monday 2nd

Text: Proverbs 2:2-4

Key verse: Proverbs 8:5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

Wisdom is that piece of information that comes to someone concerning that which he should do at a particular time. The time has its own limit. What he does today that is wisdom may cease to be wisdom if he does the same another day. Wisdom applied yesterday may not be expedient today, for wisdom is dynamic. Proverbs 4:5-7 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Denominationalism started with a good intention. It was a child of necessity which came into being when the church of God entered into the hands of ungodly men. These men were blind, wicked and authoritative in running the church of Christ. They led the church away from the truth, righteousness and holiness demanded by God. The church ran into the hands of carnal men. Unconverted people took over the leadership of the church and began to divert the attention of worshippers from the true God to images and idols. While men slept, the enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and quietly went his way.

These ungodly men had occupied the place of authority and their words were final. A sinner was ordained a Pope who claimed to be the representative of God on earth. God did not know him; neither did he know God. Strange people had usurped authority from the godly ones whose voices were no longer heard. The godly people were demoted and sent to jungles where they would not have people to speak to. Others were killed. The work was designed to be done by faithful men but alas, unfaithful men hijacked the work and rendered the faithful ones jobless. Therefore, it became wisdom to separate from these ungodly and carnal people, hence, the faithful ones pulled out of the corrupt system to establish a new one in order to give the people the privilege and access to sound doctrine. When the new assemblies were founded, descriptive names and titles were given to them for identity, hence they became denominational. This was the wisdom employed by the Protestants to deliver the church from the pollution of Catholicism. But then, Satan has again crept in to corrupt the denominations by turning many away from the scriptures.
