Devastating Effects of Strange Practices in Christianity (1)

Friday 24th October 

Text: Galatians 1: 6-9  
Key verse: Psalms 115: 11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: He is their help and their shield.
I: This practice shifts the faith of worshippers and seekers of divine blessing from God to a physical substance. To them, it is the physical object; the handkerchief, and apron that matters and not the word of God, the name of Jesus, and the blood of Jesus. To them, the anointed handkerchief, or whatever physical object promoted, carries the power that is in the name of Jesus, the word of God, the blood of Jesus. This then is another gospel which was not preached to us by the apostles and conveys another spirit which is not the spirit of Christianity. The curse of God rests on those who preach this strange gospel in the name of the Lord, by word or practice.
II: It prevents the salvation of sinners whose faith has been turned from Jesus, the anointed of God, to handkerchief, apron, or an object anointed by men. Instead of clinging to Christ, trusting on Christ to be saved, they cling to and trust on an anointed object which cannot save them. 
III: It is a subverting of the faith of believers who now are made to believe that the salvation and power of God can be obtained, not only by faith in God alone, but also by faith in anointed handkerchiefs, aprons, water, book, etc.  
IV: It is a revisit to the Indulgence sold by the Popes during the dark ages. During this time the sinners were told that if they desired the forgiveness of their sins, they should buy the Indulgence released for sale by the Pope. The Person of Jesus disappeared from scene. It was possession of a physical substance that ministered forgiveness of sins. The promotion of these anointed objects is taking over the place of Jesus Christ. Jesus will become a shadow if these things continue in the church. 

Thought for the day: The promotion of anointed objects takes over the place of Jesus. 

Song for the day: On Christ the solid rock I stand

Bible reading for the day: Luke 7-8

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...

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. The Testimony Of Jesus Is Spirit Of Prophecy.  Monday 10th November  Text: Jude 1: 2-5 Key verse: Jude 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. The faith of Jesus has already been delivered and it is written in the scriptures. Whatever prophecies, revelations or dreams that comes must not be contrary to the standard in the scripture. They must speak the same thing. The testimony of Jesus is spirit of prophecy. Every prophecy or revelation must honour Jesus and must be according to the written word. Even where they are new things, they must not contradict because the Bible is a summary of the things Jesus did. The Bible cannot contain all things. It must be according to what the scripture has already signified, ...
