Topic: BE READY ALWAYS TO DEFEND THE GOSPEL OF TRUTH      Saturday  December 19th

Text: Galatians 1:6–10

Key verse: 1 Corinthians 9: 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.


Apostolic authority is the authority to defend the gospel of Christ. Paul said, “I am raised for the confirmation and the defense of the gospel.” I am raised for it as an apostle to defend and confirm the gospel, so that those who have heard should know that it is so. But to those who want to abuse it, I say, NO! Not in my presence, not to my knowledge. I respect no person when it comes to the gospel. When I saw Peter doing something different, something that abused this gospel, I spared him not. Before some people came from James in Jerusalem, Peter was eating with the Gentiles in Antioch, but when he saw the Jews that came from James he started playing hypocrisy. If left unchecked, it would have affected the gospel. We have told the Gentiles that circumcision means nothing; that eternal life was in Christ; that the law has been done away with; and that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, and that Jesus commanded that the gospel be preached to the world. I rebuked Peter and Barnabas when I saw that both of them were carried away. Barnabas was even the one that mentored Paul. When I saw that Barnabas was going the same direction, I corrected him too to preserve the gospel. Paul laboured to preserve the truth of Christ’s gospel. He gave no chance to false brethren that came in. Not even once!

  

There is need for vigilance and watchfulness against false doctrines and strange practices. We must watch and supervise the pastors who are under us to ensure that they do not derail. Some of them love revelations. They love some unwholesome ideas. They love to bring these things that might bring damnable heresies. We must watch against anybody bringing any damnable heresies to the body of Christ or to Holiness Revival Movement. Such persons must be identified and put aside. Let the Church remain clean and righteous. Let us operate in godly fear. The Church is under apostolic authority. If there are things that are not clear, that you have not heard from us and you feel that there is need to teach them, then verify from the headquarters to know whether those things have meaning. You are not to teach whatsoever you desire because you are operating under authority.


Thought for the day: Teach and practice true and sound doctrine.

Song for the day: The church is marching on....

Bible reading for the day: Micah 1-3; Revelation 10

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. 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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
