LIES FROM THE PULPIT.

Greetings in Jesus name, trust anyone reading this right now is having a blessed time and if that is not the case, what i will tell you is to trust in the Lord for he never fails. For sometime now we have seen an upsurge of so many things happening from the pulpit by mostly men or women who claimed they were called by God, but their works does not comfirm their claims. So we are going to see the spirit behind the lies from the pulpit. As you read i pray that God gives you an open mind of understanding and knowladge and also the spirit of discernnment to know when lies are being told from the pulpit, dont forget this, any precher lying from the pulpit is backed by demonic powers and their works is to convince you to accept a lie as truth. so lets look at the bible as our guide. Mattehw 24:24 Aamplified Bible)For false Christs and false prophets will appear and they will provide great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect (God’s chosen ones). From this verse you can see that this false ministers are backed by powers that are not of God not only will they be able to do signs and wonders through powers of darkeness they will be able to convince people by spoken words,Listen the figment of ones imagination does not translate as Gods truth this is one aspect why many believers have fallen into deception, because they feel whatever the minister says is the truth this should not be so. (Exodus 20:16 Amplified Bible)“You shall not testify falsely [that is, lie, withhold, or manipulate the truth] against your neighbor (any person). Many ministers are doing this by manipulating the truth or by exggaration of making a story more appealing to people, this is common this days, and has become the common everyday thing of most ministers to use the pulpit to solicite for money, gift or popularity through lying to the congregation. (Colossians 3:9 Amplified Bible)Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old self with its evil practices, When a minister lies from the pulpit, it does not show you have been regenerated by the spirit of God, also note when ministers tell people stories upon stories which they know are true they became lairs this has nothing to do with your level of annointing it shows a level of evil practices as the book of colossians 3:9 puts it. (2 Peter 2:3 Amplified Bible)And in their greed they will exploit you with false arguments and twisted doctrine. Their sentence [of condemnation which God has decreed] from a time long ago is not idle [but is still in force], and their destruction and deepening misery is not asleep [but is on its way]. When ministers lie from the pulpit it is caused by greed and there is always a thing to say with an intent to convince you to either part with your money or open yourself up to be exploited and to be used., God already has something in store for them this men are not of God but of the devil. So as i end this write up i will leave you with some ways to detect lies from the pulpit. (1)Watch for emotional manipulation: Be wary of ministers who use emotional appeals to sway their audience without providing sufficient evidence or rational support. Emotional manipulation can be harmful and may not be an effective way to build trust or credibility. (2)Evaluate the tone: Pay attention to the tone of the minister's message. Are they speaking with humility, compassion, and respect? Or do they come across as confrontational, judgmental, or condescending? (3)Seek clarification: If you're unsure about something the minister said, don't hesitate to ask follow-up questions or seek clarification. This can help you better understand their message and ensure that you're not misinterpreting what they're saying. (4)Consider multiple perspectives: Keep an open mind and consider alternative perspectives on the topic being discussed. This can help you evaluate the minister's message more critically and ensure that you're not falling prey to confirmation bias. (5)Reflect on your own biases: Acknowledge your own biases and assumptions before listening to the minister's sermon. This can help you approach their message with a more open mind and avoid being influenced by your own preconceptions. (6)Pray for discernment: Ultimately, pray for discernment and wisdom as you listen to the minister's sermon. Ask God to guide your understanding and give you a heart of wisdom. Remember that these guidelines are meant to help you engage with a minister's message critically and responsibly, Approach your faith journey with humility, respect, and an open heart, and seek guidance from trusted sources when needed, also always read your bible don't just hear the word and buy into it make sure it comforms with what the bible is say. (Revelation 21:8 Amplified Bible) But as for the cowards and unbelieving and abominable [who are devoid of character and personal integrity and practice or tolerate immorality], and murderers, and sorcerers [with intoxicating drugs], and idolaters and occultists [who practice and teach false religions], and all the liars [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Lies from the pulpit has damage many christains many home and ultimetly has swayed people aways from God rather than bringing them to God. Remember Jesus died to give you life and give it more abudantly.

THE MISCONCEPTION ABOUT THE GRACE OF GOD

Greetings in the wonderful name of jesus, it is a wonderful day the Lord has made and you should rejoice and be glad in it. I believe God's plan for you today is good whatever you are passing through just drop it at the feet of the Almighty God. Today we will be reading an interesting topic that has made many people to live in sin and has also made many to believe they can they anything and get away with it because of Gods grace so before we go further lets look at what Grace means from the biblical point of view.What is the grace of God? Gods grace can be describe AS a free gift, often described with terms like “undeserved” or “unmerited favor.” He doesn't count peoples' successes and failures to determine who receives his love or life. Instead, from the kind intention of his will, God gives all goodness freely, and in the Bible he describes himself as gracious. Now you know what the grace of God is, so we have to look at why we have so many misconception about the grace of God and as usually our answers are found in the bible. (Romans 6:1-2 Amplified Bible) What shall we say [to all this]? Should we continue in sin and practice sin as a habit so that [God’s gift of] grace may increase and overflow? Certainly not! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, continue to live in it any longer? From this verse you can clearly understand that the grace of God is not unto sin but unto rightousness, i have heard people say, when they repeateadly sin they come up with the word the grace of God is sufficient for me this is an error the grace of God is not unto continual sinning but an opputunity to turn away from our sin for one reason, ones you are dead to sin you cannot return to it. the misconception about the grace of God is a deadly trap of the devil. John 1:15 Amplified Bible)For out of His fullness [the superabundance of His grace and truth] we have all received grace upon grace [spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift]. This verse clealy outline the blessings attached the grace of God, i know some of you reading this now, maybe looking at it from another perspective but wait this verse clearly was speaking to a set of people who are this people?the answer is, this set of people are the true followers of God the sons and daughters of God listen there is no way you can feel the true abundance of his grace and truth if you are still living in sin. (2 Peter 3:18 Amplified Bible) but grow [spiritually mature] in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. This explicitly and catagorically made it clear, that the grace of God comes in the knowledge of our Saviour jesus we cannot want the grace of God and continue to live a life that grieves the spirit Of God i have heard of a minister who willingly and knowingly slept with a sister and after they finished they now prayed to God to forgive them saying the grace of God is what we need now, thats a misconception and misinterpretation of Gods grace. so as i round up lets take note of what will be listed about the grace of God and work on it 1. Live in Gratitude Once we have accepted God’s grace, the next step is to live in gratitude for this unmerited favor. This gratitude should manifest in our daily lives as an attitude of thankfulness towards God for His kindness and mercy. Colossians 3:17 encourages believers to do everything in the name of Jesus while giving thanks to God the Father. Living with a grateful heart helps us recognize the many ways God’s grace impacts our lives beyond just salvation. 2. Reflect Grace to Others Having received God’s grace, we are called to reflect that same grace to others around us. This includes extending forgiveness, kindness, and compassion as we interact with family, friends, and even strangers. Ephesians 4:32 instructs us to be kind and compassionate, forgiving one another just as Christ forgave us. By embodying grace in our relationships, we become conduits of God’s love and mercy. 3. Engage in Spiritual Growth Grace also empowers us for spiritual growth and transformation. As stated in 2 Peter 1:2-3, grace provides everything we need for a godly life through knowledge of Jesus Christ. Engaging with scripture, prayer, and community helps us grow deeper in our understanding of God’s character and His grace towards us. This growth enables us to live out our faith more fully. The Nature of True Conversion When someone genuinely accepts Christ and experiences conversion, they become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). This transformation implies a change in desires and behaviors; thus, living in habitual sin becomes incompatible with being a follower of Christ. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in this process by guiding believers away from sinful behaviors and towards righteousness (Galatians 5:22-23). The misconception about the grace of God is when we keep doing wrong and still say the grace of God is enough for me yes it is, but not unto a life of sin.

THE POWER IN REPENTANCE.

Greetings in jesus name, one's again we are here to gain knowladge about what the Lord has given me to share , iam so glad and happy that both i the writer and you the reader has built a synegy of understanding as we read throug the chronicles of thoughts write-up inspired by the spirit of Truth to give us understanding.Now before we go into the message i'am about to pass properly lets look at what instigates repentance in the life of a child of God. If their are no sin, their won't be repentance so what is SIN? Sin is an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law and who is in control of divine laws?GOD. So whenever we sin we have gone against God and when this happens their are always a consequenses to pay this bring us to the main topic the power in repentance. Before i go further lets see what repentance means.Repentance is the action of repenting; sincere regret or remorse. Since we have both meaning of sin and repentance we have an idea of what is to come in this write- up so we can now go into the topic proper. Lets see the bible 1 john 1:9 (APB)If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. So you can see through this bible verse, that the power of God his nature and promises comes into play as a result of we acknowladging our sins and come to him in repentance for anywhere God own nature is seen, his faithfulness, his promises and lovingkindness is seen then his power can be felt, the more we repent of our sins the more we conform to God's nature. Romans 2:4( Aplified Bible)Or do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance and patience [in withholding His wrath]? Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]? So what has brought about our repentance is Gods kindness. this is the changing force that makes us to become new, if not we would have all died in our sins, to tell you about the destructive nature of our sins, some people after getting involve in sinning still feel the guilty satan still holds their sins against them, i have seen many people who are still being hunted by past sin or sins if you know Gods nature of kindness and love ones you repent note genuinly the spirit of God is activated to take charge to remove all our guilts. Their is power in repentance i mean genuine repentance a power that transform a person from filtiness into cleanliness from being possesed to being delivered you must have to activate the power of repentance in your life today, as you are reading this now prepare your heart to begin the journey of repentance and i can tell you, you will never regret it. Matthew 4:17( Amplified Bible)From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” From this bible verse you can note that Jesus gave some instances on how to genuinely repent of our sins, everything about repentance starts from the heart, you heart must first be made up for a change your thinking must conform to the change of your heart not only that when the heart changes the thinking will surely change and also the life style too, because their are no way to say we have repentented and still love sin, if this is how we are, then we have not truly and genuinely repented.Every human must strive hard not to die in there sin is a dangeruous thing to die in our sins. Proverbs 28:13 (Amplified Bible)He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But whoever confesses and turns away from his sins will find compassion and mercy. So this is clear i know many of us will be looking at the word prosper in the materialic word of it, the answer is no the word used here as in prosper is talking about a spiritual growth you see, sin causes an hindrance to our spiritual growth more than anything else for God is holy and rightous and he can never behold sin. So if you happen to fall into sin?don't wait before you genuinely repent of your sin and activate the power in repentance into you life and see your daily walk with God bring about his glory into your life and things will be effectively change for the better and your true purpose in life as regard service to God and man will be seen.Remain bless.

DRAW NEAR TO GOD.

Greetings in jesus name, so glad to be writing to you one's again and i do hope as you are reading this write-up, you will be able to keep something and grow with it inside of you.The world, is at his tail end the bible prophecies are all coming up with alarming accuracy, so you and i can't deny the fact that all that was fortold are happening right in front of our very own eyes this not and event related to you by word of mouth it's happeninig right in front of you you saw and your heard. So as you read this, you need to draw closer to God because that's the only thing any wise and sensible person will do in a time like this. Someone, may be asking why should i draw near to God?why should follow jesus after all i have heard iam confused as to what is happening? This questions are all irrelevant because God is real and not a fairly tale stories God is real and Jesus is real. Like i always do, i will like us to see some potion of the bible for ourselves as to help us make some informed decisions why we need to draw near to God. James 4:8 NKJV. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Drawing near to God must be done in cleanliness and holiness, your heart to must be purified and you have to have a singleness of heart, this are the things that will make you live a life that will glorify God and ones your life glorifies God he will always be by your side.Listen, you can not be a friend with someone who doesnt want to come close to you the link that makes relationship to trive is, we have to be near each other, this has nothing to do with distance is a thing of the heart. (Psalm 145:18) The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth. Is this verse of psalm 145:18 not a statement of fact?it is. The reason why so many people gather and call on God day and night and yet God seem far from them is just based on two reasons the first is, they are far from him or can i say not near to God the second reason is their are no truth in them when they call upon God which means their worship is false this is so prevelent this last days in the church and among percieved christains. (Psalm 96:8) Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name; Bring an offering and come into His courts. This verse is a verse i love somuch because,it is a verse that points to the glory of God before i go further in my explaination let's look at the word Ascribe and what it means, Ascribe means (regard something as being due to (a cause).or to refer to a supposed cause, source, or author. The truth is to ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name is to acknowlaged,adore and to bring everything in you into his presence how many of us can that? Many people can not do that, because they are not drawing near to God they are far from him. So to ascribe to God the glory due his name is a difficult task to embark on when you are far from God. (Zechariah 1:3) Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Return to Me,” declares the Lord of hosts, “that I may return to you,” says the Lord of hosts. Look at this bible verse with an open mind and you will see that what God said through the prophet Zechariah, was a statement of facts and it is conditional in the sense that if they return to God they will find him, only if they return. Are you far from God draw near to him return to him and you will find him don't ever stay far from God. (Psalm 73:28) But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works. This verse spells it out in an interesting way. But as for me the nearness of God is my good thats is a fact and the secord passage says i have made the Lord my refuge. Those who have drawn themselves near to God are protected always.That i may tell of all your workS , you can not be close to God and not speak of his goodness and awesome power,His goodness is surrounded by his glory for all to see and when his glory shines, it also touches those who are near to him, don't waste you precious timein frivolities chasing after nothingness DRAW NEAR TO GOD.

THROW IN THE TOWEL ON SIN

Ones again, i'm so glad to have this time with you, and i do hope you have kept yourself safe and sound for the Lord to use you to advance kingdom work, if that has been your case i will say congratulation to you, because what you just achieved is great God bless you.So as usaully before i continue let's look at the topic of our reading today Throw in the towel on sin.Some of you may not have a clearer understanding but as you read further you will understand better. What is sin? and why must we throw in the towel on sin?before i go further in explaining to you let's look at the word sin,sin is an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law.a sin in the eyes of God. The second question is why must we throw in the towel on sin? to be free from the grip of sin which brings about Guilt, shame, and fear are the three results of any sin we commit against God. Following the first sin, God also outlined the greater consequences of sin, including our eternal separation from Him, and the penalty of spiritual death let's look at the bible and see what it says. Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." so this verse clearly gave two choices to you one and both comes with something good and evil or like the verse puts it the wages one brings death while the other brings eternal life. So the reason for you to throw in the towel on sin is for you to make eternal life a filty soul can not see God. (1 Peter 1:6 AMP)because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY (set apart), FOR I AM HOLY.” To be Holy means to be set aside to strive to be free from the shakels of sin because the truth is no matter how we hide or disagree with it, our sins do distance us from God sin brings dishonour, shame and disgrace and barriers throw in the towel on sin now. (Isaiah 59:2 AMP)But your wickedness has separated you from your God, And your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear. This clearly states the major reason of why things are not ok with us, for every sin that goes against God attracts demonic spirits who are always at the opposite of anything that has to do with God in opposition. Someone may be asking yes i have repented of my sin, thats a wonderful thing to do repentance is what God wants from us genuinely, however we must not forget that every sin comes with a repercusion, the repercusion must be paid, lets use this Anology, someone goes to a hotel or motel with a call girl and they had unprotected sex and this call girl has an infection not known to this man after wetin this period he repented and later that month what happens he was told by a doctor that he has an infection a serious one, yes he has repented but the wound of sinning has started tormenting his body. Have seen why we must throw in the towel on sin, that's your only way out, Lets see (Ecclisiates 10:8 AMP) He who digs a pit [for others] may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who breaks through a [stone] wall. This verse says he who digs a pit for others, but i tell you sinning is you digging a pit for yourself because with sinning you are the one who dug a pit for yourself and why? because you clearly knew what you are about to do is against the will of God. Your defence against sepents is to be always protected in Holiness and if you slip along the way repent with all your heart don't Forget God see's the heart of men over everything else. please read John 1:19,Luke 5:32,Acts 2:28 Chronicles 7:14 this will guide you on sinning and repentance. After reading this go on your kneels and ask the father to forgive you and help you to live a life that will glory his name as you finally throw in the towel on sin.
