Confessing Jesus is not enough, our lifestyle must be consistent with that confession. May our lifestyle be consistent with the messages we preach and teach. Cast out demons that trouble us daily, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
Since we dream daily when asleep, we should be careful, lest we keep attributing guidance to dreams that are routine and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. We may end up worrying when we shouldn’t be worrying. We may end up taking instructions from interpreters who have no divine mandate and thereby we get misled.
What do you have in common in that social media group? What do you have in common with your pack of friends? What do you have in common with your daily companions? What do you have in common with your lover? Truth is the best thing to have in common. Is this what we have in common?
We should never have known the church is sacred than continue treating it casually. We should never have known that church money is holy and taking some for yourself is a devastating curse, yet we still take church money. We should never have known that God will judge everything and yet live as if judgment is a none issue. This we should not have known!
A fellow member is most likely to borrow and fail to pay. Fellow members are most likely going to drive rumors that damage you. Fellow members will avoid your business hoping it fails more than non-believers who may give you a chance. Most likely you will be betrayed and harmed without apology by a religious leader. As we prepare and ensure external dangers don’t harm us, be equally ready for internal risks!
Are you disturbed at how evil church people can be to each other? If wrong things going on around us don’t disturb you to speak or act, you are equally evil. Silence and inaction is not from God. Being disturbed doesn’t call for careless action and speech. Being disturbed is not fighting people and systems you have issues with.
Do not let your hearts be troubled by the burning of schools, wars, death, geopolitical activities, etc. Just believe in God and also in Jesus. Do not let your heart be troubled by who started which disease and who wants to clear people from the earth. Do not let your heart be troubled by which president visited which religious leader. Do not be unsettled and alarmed. Our only focus is readiness. Are you ready?
We need to learn from Apostle Paul. If you feel you have the latest Present truth that is unconventional and may disrupt church order, take it to the church leaders you are tempted to despise and let them look at it. It would be careless for leaders to allow members to be confused by every Tom, Dick, and Harry who has a present truth. It would also be irresponsible for the preachers of present truth not to seek approval. The church has order!
Speaking unknown languages is not a biblical tradition. The few times speaking in tongues is mentioned in scriptures it refers to speaking known existing languages. The only reference to speaking an unknown language is in 1 Corinthians 14 where it is condemned by Paul. The practice of speaking unknown languages masquerading as speaking in tongues began in Corinth. The Apostle condemns it in 1 Corinthians 14. Otherwise, speaking in tongues according to the Bible is to speak existing languages,
