How Sound Is Your Doctrine?


          We live in a world that is fast paced with all conveniences at our finger tips. Things are invented in such spate that the undiscerning may lose focus from the true life. As a result of all these advances in technology, many are wont to believe that God may have either lowered His standards or changed them completely. This thinking is what has fueled the gay, abortion and new rules of marriage debates. Some believe that they can now dictate to God on what is right and what is acceptable based on these advances. Certain verses in Scriptures are now twisted to form basis for evil and wicked doctrines that negate the very existence of God! Concerning this time and situation, Jesus Christ Himself warned us: “Many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. Because lawlessness will multiply, the love of many will grow cold” (Matthew 24:11-12). Looking at the happenings within the Body of Christ, the love of many for the Lord is not as it should be. This is not strange; we are told that when we see this happening, we should understand that the return of our Lord Jesus Christ is Near! Since we are living in the times now, His return is no longer Near but Here! Friend, this piece is not written to pass judgment on who is right or wrong but for us to take a closer look at our doctrines again. How sound is your doctrine? Friend, it is time for us to wake up and adjust our minds and hearts. God commended the sons of Rechab for keeping true to the teachings of their father (Jeremiah 35) who was human; God likewise would want us to obey Him no matter what because He is God. The sons of Rechab did not jettison their father’s instructions because events had overtaken it or it’s been a long time the instruction was given. They obeyed because they were completely loyal to him. Friend, our obedience to God must be borne out of loyalty and love. All of the ‘techy’ things we celebrate today will disappear and we will be left standing face to face with Him. So that we do not stutter when questions are asked, we must begin to readdress our minds and heart: “Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you” (1Timothy 4:16). God bless you as you reassess your heart!

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
