DENOMINATIONALISM WAS INITIALLY WISDOM OF GOD

 For taking your time to study remain blessed.

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.
Thought for the day: Now, Jesus is using HOREMOW for end time revival.
Song for the day: God will make a way, where there seems to be no way
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 33-35; Titus 3

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
