A WORD OF CAUTION.


The Church is being transitioned from the mode of denominationally oriented "offices" designed to be seen of men to a more background operation of elders that appear on the scene as needed. The "honor" that has been given to men in their functions and gifts before this will take a backseat to the HONOR given Christ alone. Dramatically so, as the Lord spreads those giftings out distributed in the entire Body as they were intended to grow. The concept of a separate "priest class" will disapear altogether among the obedient along with special garments and outward earthly religious forms. 

I wish I could say that will be the case among those who identify in their hearts with their denomination but it will not be so. It likely will get worse among them even to the point of a great falling away from Christ - maintaining the "appearance of godliness but denying the power thereof of Christ to rule HIS Church by the Holy Spirit. That is going to be very hard to accept for many.

There is a false unity among denominations coming that will be led by a spirit of deception with tremendous signs and wonders. The true church of Jesus Christ will ultimately once again be persecuted by that unified entity because that denominationally unified entity will still remain dependent upon outward appearance while Jesus leads His Church ever deeper underground and dependent upon Him. A split between "Christianity" led by the flesh and those who will be led by the Holy Spirit alone. In the one MAN will gain even greater worldly prominence and the other the prominence of Christ will be absolute.

False Assertions About Sin. Part 6.

False Assertions Addressed By John.  (3.) "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."  1 John 1:10. This is the third false assertion about sin, which John the apostle dealt with. I know you must have heard some preachers/christians today teaching that the new creation man does not have a past; that the new creation man is not the man that Christ died for, that the new creation is not the redeemed for he never existed prior to his birth in Christ. I was once in a service in 2001 when a renown preacher/televangelist, in a bid to demonstrate and pass across this teaching, brought out two men, and put one of them infront and said that is the sinner, that is the man that Christ died for, the man that was redeemed; he can sing: 'Amazing grace...that saved a wretch like me'; he can sing the songs of redemption.  He then led the second man out and said that is the new creation man, the man who has no past; that is

Who Is A Man Of God? Part 1.

The Man Of God Or The Man Of Himself.  A very thin line exists between a man of God and a man of himself. Many today are called men of God but they are men of themselves or men of the people. They speak of themselves, represent their own interests and concerns, even in the things of God. It's high time we defined who a man of God is. The general tendency we have is to refer to people as men of God, simply because they carry the bible and preach or because they set up a religious organisation, and have a building where they use a microphone to speak to a congregation. There's also the tendency to think that those called into the word ministry like apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists and pastors, are automatically constituted men of God. The appellation or designation 'man of God' was not carelessly used in scriptures, and should not be carelessly used by any bible believer. Scriptures scarcely referred to men as 'men of God', thus we should be c

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.

GREATEST ENCOUNTERS FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE.  By Dipo Ecclesia When I gave my heart to Jesus as a teenager and later staggered in faith, I became agnostic and showed complete apathy to the things of the spirit and I stopped going to church. I began to doubt everything about  Christianity and the bible and will try hard to argue the bible logically with anybody I see. After some years (Five years precisely), there was this strong and serious desire for me to seek God again (I actually embraced Islam at a point but just didn't practice). The desire to seek God was so strong and compelling that it became a struggle with me and the Lord before I finally yielded and bent to the will of the Lord and was restored. Back then I made up my mind that if there is really a Living God and since I HAVE JUST ONE LIFE, then I want to know Him myself before I die and not just what preachers have being telling me, in fact I asked God to show Himself to me and He did by some encounter
