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

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...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
