WHY SOME DENOMINATIONAL PASTORS SHY AWAY

God's blessings shall follow you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: WHY SOME DENOMINATIONAL PASTORS SHY AWAY

TEXT: ROMANS 8:5-8  
MONDAY OCTOBER 23RD

Key verse: Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God 
Though the Holiness Revival Movement is non-denominational and open to all denominational pastors and churches, I came to the understanding that many denominational pastors who had earlier joined withdrew along with their members for the following reasons: They feared that they would lose offering. So, they withdrew because of money. This is in spite of the fact that I often tell the congregation to pay their tithe wherever the Lord leads them, Holiness Movement is not established for money-making. God Himself finances the work, and he uses those who are willingly available. About two years ago, someone sent more than $100,000 and said I should do whatever will glorify God, and you see the work moving. Let not money come in and hinder the souls of men. We avoid compulsion, but then these people became afraid and withdrew from the movement. 
They could not practice the high standard of the word (John 6:59-69). The doctrinal teachings are hard, but there is no alternative. Those who stay back remain because they desire eternal life, and there is no alternative. Some left because they could not preach the message truthfully. A lying tongue is but for a moment. There is a time when your lie will find you out. So, all who pretend to preach holiness will, with time, cease because how long will you pretend to act your height? They feared the members would eventually discover their nakedness, so they withdrew. Some withdrew because Satan attacked them and discouraged them. They are like the seed that fell by the wayside; the birds of the air came and picked them up. They withdrew because they were not heavenly-minded They withdrew because they were more interested in the things of the earth (1Corintians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable).  

Thought for the day: There is more to life than money. 

Song for the day: My lifetime, I will give God my lifetime…if I give God my life…. 

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 9-10; 1 Timothy 3

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...
