IS YOUR CHURCH PRACTICING CHRIST’S DOCTRINES

God bless you for taking your time to study.

IS YOUR CHURCH PRACTICING CHRIST’S DOCTRINES? 
TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 4:13-16
      
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 17th

Key verse: 1 Timothy 4:16 “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”
Doctrines are teachings that are given to men in the church to guide their activities. In the case of a country, this is called a decree or constitution. The church is guided by doctrines that can bring out righteousness in men and make them qualify for heaven. The unity of the church is possible if the doctrines of Jesus Christ are stressed in all denominations. Where the people are told to come together but to put away the doctrines cannot be for Christ: Strange spirit will be in operation in such meeting. Some will come to that meeting bare-footed, half-naked, some men wearing caps, women in trousers and uncovered heads. People with two wives, jewelry, chains, and attachments will be in such meetings. Is that a Christian meeting? Of course, No. Wherever you see these, know that the true teaching is not there and whatever they do there cannot qualify men for heaven.
The church must rid itself of bad doctrines: Doctrines of men which lay aside the commandment of God and promote the tradition of men; Doctrines of devils that cause men to depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; Doctrines of backslidden and unholy ministers that exalt idolatry and immorality in the church; and Doctrines of vanity that shift the faith of the people from their Creator to idols and substances. What then is the good doctrine of God? The doctrine of Jesus includes Repentance and baptism in water and teaching converts to observe all things whatsoever Jesus has commanded. The apostles’ doctrines were according to Christ’s. Paul taught the same thing and passed it to Timothy and others and told them to follow him as he followed Christ. Desist from practicing doctrines of errors in your denomination. Note that sound doctrines produce godliness and build the church on truth, righteousness, and holiness. 

Thought for the day: Doctrines are meant to give salvation and save the church

Song for the day: Give me that old-time religion

Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 16
Hebrews 12

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...
