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...

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...
