Unique manifestations of the Holy Spirit (2) 

Thursday 23rd October 

Text: Acts 5: 14-16
Key verse: Acts 5: 14 “And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.”
Had handkerchiefs and apron from Paul kept healing the sick, their faith would have rested on those physical objects of power than on the word God that can save their souls. God made this miraculous manifestation of His power very brief in the ministry of Paul and did not bestow it on any other. Today in the church, the use of handkerchiefs and aprons has become a strong doctrine. 
Ministers of the gospel now pray on handkerchiefs to anoint them so they can perform miracles. Those who are oppressed take or send handkerchiefs to ministers to pray on them. Not only the sick now, but those who desire prosperity, special answer to prayer, protection, victory over their enemies, special favor from God or man, etc, need to develop faith on these anointed handkerchiefs and aprons. 
Some Assemblies organize special service where the worshippers are told to come with their handkerchiefs to be prayed upon. Some other Assemblies or ministers sell anointed handkerchiefs and aprons, and holy water to the afflicted ones with the promise of divine healing, deliverance, protection and prosperity. Church members are made to believe that clothes, shoes and other items used by their ministers are anointed and can transmit spiritual blessings. 
People struggle to touch these materials or to use them. Many struggle to seat on the chair their ministers sat on, to sleep on the bed the slept on, etc. These things are not in the spirit of the New Testament church which doctrine and practice is handed down to us in the Holy Scripture. Miracles through anointed handkerchiefs and aprons and other physical objects practiced by many churches and ministers today have adverse effects on the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith is a key factor in religion. This practice wars against true faith in God in the hearts of men. 

Thought for the day: Miracles through physical objects practiced by many churches and ministers today have adverse effects on the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ 

Song for the day: The blood of Jesus sets me free, from sin and sorrow

Bible reading for the day: Luke 5-6

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, ...
