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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
