The Doctrine of Christ

"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. John 1:9"

Devotion : Anyone who cultivates the habit of disobedience to God's Word, and does not dwell in the teachings of Christ, doesn't have God. Living a life of disobedience to the Holy Scriptures and the teachings of Christ Jesus is the character of the devil and his cohort of darkness; therefore, any person who has such a character cannot belong to God and our Lord Jesus Christ. The teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ consist of the Father, the Son of God, salvation, healing, faith, patience, work, life, death, righteousness, etc. These teachings are found in the WORD of GOD. All who dwell in or abide in these doctrines of Christ have received the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Dear beloved, what shows that you have God and the Lord Jesus Christ? GOD bless you.

A Professional with Empty nets

Image
Have you ever seen fishermen at work? I watch a documentary about them and found out how rigorous the work could be; casting out their nets, waiting for a while and when the harvest comes: extra effort is required to draw the net into the boat and that’s for the mechanically assisted method how much more when there is no machine to assist. The normal phenomena in life as concerned with bountiful harvest is that there must be a required input of hard work; almost like saying “What you sow, you’ll reap.” Over time, we’ve come to realize that this is not always so for at some point in life, we have heard, seen or somewhat experienced demeaning results irrespective of the large effort inputted. Such result could be due to human influence or at times just beyond control and one begins to wonder - why? The story of St Luke 5:1-7 tells of a similar situation turned joy. There we see some full grown hard-working ‘professional’ fishermen who had Toiled All Night and caught nothing but dirt in...

Who is HE

A lady committed a crime and she was sent to court. The punishment for the crime was life imprisonment. She shed tears for help but to no avail. When the case was called in court she started weeping. Her husband, family and friends who accompanied her started weeping but there was no hope. But something happened. Before the lady could stand in the witness box a man stood up and the court room was silent. Everyone looked at Him. He was noble and gentle. He stood in the witness box and interceded on behalf of the woman. The case was difficult, yet He used all His strength, energy and resources to fight on behalf of the woman. After a long legal battle between the man and the accusers, the lady was set free. The lady fell before the man and asked *'WHO ARE YOU'* The next day the lady deliberately committed another crime and was sent to the same court. As soon as she entered the courtroom, she saw the man who interceded for her the previous day on the judgement seat. He was no long...

The Unprecedented

Image
When something is unprecedented, it is extraordinary and stands out due to its novelty and lack of prior occurrence . It is often used in contexts where there is a significant departure from the norm or an event of exceptional magnitude. It has been scientifically proven with clear and resonating evidence; the story of the flood that covered the earth’s surface. With distinct details recorded in the Bible, we’re told that God spoke to a man named Noah. Haven found him righteous, HE required him to build an Ark informing him that rain would fall and cause the earth to be flooded. The news of rain falling was very unprecedented since there had never been rain on earth in those days (Genesis 2:5-6) . God didn’t inform Noah of the time/season when the rain would come. And for an event that never had   once happened, this man believed, built the Ark, and took on the task of evangelism head-on. For over 120 years of evangelism to the people of the world, he had only 7 congregations wh...
