The Absolute & Exclusive Spiritual Headship Of Christ.

The Absolute & Exclusive Spiritual Headship Of Christ.

Ephesians 1:22 "And has put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church..." 

Christ is the only one whom God gave(appointed) to be the head over the church, and his headship over the church is in all things; there is thus no place for any man to claim spiritual headship over the church. 

There is no one scripture which speaks of or even gives a hint of an apostle, prophet, teacher etc. being appointed or given of God to be a spiritual head or covering over God's people(the church). 

Christ is the head over all things to the church/assembly which is his body; thus even in the relationship which exists in the body, scripture tells us that Christ is the head of every man and the man is the head of the woman. 

It is such that even the woman in the body(church) who is without a man(a father or a husband over her), is yet not without a spiritual head/covering for Christ is the head in all things and over all things to the church. 

How come some preachers today claim spiritual headship/covering over God's people as though the church/assembly is their body? 

Claiming to be a spiritual head or covering over the church/assembly of God's people is usurping or taking the place of Christ, who is the one and only head of the body.

It is a very subtle rebellion against the headship of Christ, inspired by satan and entrenched in the present day church system, which has many men as spiritual heads over the churches/assemblies of God's people.

Such a rebellion is the greatest/peak of every rebellion against God and what is of Him, for it is a rebellion against the Lord Jesus which goes as far as trying to dislodge him in his place of deepest/closest & most intimate fellowship/union as the Head of the body.  

To think that men today have the audacity and temerity to claim spiritual headship over the church/people of God is a tragic thought the apostles of the early church would cringe at, much more the institution & general practice of such a grievous error in our day...an immense disaster upon the souls of men in fellowship with such rebellion.

Beloved, if the assembly you find yourself in is that which a mortal man claims spiritual headship and covering over, be not partaker of such a rebellious, religious organisation. Run for your dear life and precious soul.

As a minister can be a partaker of other's sins by carelessly laying hands on every head he sees in the name of impartation, so the congregants can become partaker of the rebellion of the minister by having him lay hands on them.

"Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure." - 1st Timothy 5:22.

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 enco...
