THE DANGER OF IGNORANCE IN CHRISTIANITY

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: THE DANGER OF IGNORANCE IN CHRISTIANITY

Text: Leviticus 4:1-5 

FRIDAY MAY 19th 

Key Verse: Leviticus 5:17 "And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the Lord, though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity"
Ignorance means that you do not know the law. It means you do not know the way which is dangerous. If you step on a snake ignorantly, does it stop it from biting you? Ignorance is like one carrying a letter, not knowing the content of the letter, just like Uriah that carried a letter that killed him. It is like you are in a place and you did not know what that place is made of and that the place is meant for you. Ignorance is just like a student who did not know there will be exams, and because he didn't know he went away.
If you park your car where you should not park, the Traffic officer will ask why you parked there. They will tell you it is wrong to park there. Even if you did not know that it was wrong to park there, you have already offended and you will be penalized. There are dangers and penalties for your ignorance.
You cannot stand before God and say you did not know all that are required for heaven. A Moslem will not stand before God to say he did not know that Jesus is the way, our leaders and teachers only told us about Mohammed and I didn't know they were not telling us the truth. That Moslems will not be allowed to enter heaven because of his or her ignorance. The same applies to a Catholic who prays through Mary; he will not tell God that he did not know that praying through Mary is a sin. His ignorance will not offer him entrance into heaven. If you sin ignorantly, that does not mean that you will not be punished for it.
A pastor can sin ignorantly maybe by teaching what he did not know or understand and the congregation under him will suffer much. Some members go to hellfire because they believe the teachings of their pastor which was not according to Bible standards If a pastor is ignorant of the truth of God, the followers will also be ignorant and in danger of ending up in hell.

Thought for the day: Ignorance is no excuse in law

Song for the day: The Lord knows the way through the wilderness

Bible reading for the day: 2 Kings 23-25; John 7:1-31

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...
