DO ALL THINGS WITH LOVE - 1Corinthians 16:14 & 1Corinthians 13:7:- The world of today is full of all kinds of evil acts and demonic manipulations by fellow human beings around us without any love or fear of God in them that has chosen to be wicked against others for no just cause. If there must be change and divine transformation in the world of today....it must start from practicing true and genuine love in relationships, marriages, homes and families, churches, companies and organisations, villages, communities, cities, countries and in all nations of the world....because true love brings peace and give everlasting life if we carefully observe the following:
GOD IS LOVE - LOVE DOES NOT HATE - LOVE DOES NOT INTIMIDATE - LOVE DOES NOT ABUSE - LOVE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE - LOVE DOES NOT CHEAT ON PEOPLE - LOVE DOES NOT OPPRESS & DEPRESS PEOPLE - LOVE DOES NOT ENVY - LOVE DOES NOT HAVE EVIL JEALOUSY - LOVE DOES NOT KILL - LOVE CORRECTS WITH LOVE - LOVE FORGIVES - LOVE DOES NOT DENY - LOVE DOES NOT SUPPORT UNGODLY BEHAVIOUR & ATITTUDE PEOPLE MANIFEST THIS DAYS - LOVE DOES NOT CAUSE OTHERS UNGODLY PAINS - LOVE DOES NOT DENY PEOPLE THEIR RIGHT - LOVE DOES NOT PUSH OTHERS TO SIN - LOVE DOES NOT STEAL - LOVE DOES NOT MANIFEST SELFISHNESS, GREEDINESS & STINGINESS - LOVE DOES NOT WISH EVIL TO ANYONE ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO HAS NOT OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY - LOVE DOES NOT HIDE TRUTH - ABOVE ALL, GENUINE LOVE STANDS FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AT ALL TIME REGARDLESS OF WHO IS INVOLVED - (1Peter 4:8 & 1Corinthians 16:14, 1John 11:15)
THE LOVE OF GOD: - God still loves you, no matter the sins you have committed if only you can repent turn away from your wicked ways and turn to Him. His earnest desire is that you love him in return by obeying his word; surrendering your life to him and allowing him take control of your life so that you can testify like Apostle Paul who said, “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20). (1 John 3:16 ) says, “Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren“.
For God So Loved The World : - God so loved us that He gave His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, who died for our sins that we might be saved.
(John 3:16). We need to reciprocate this love and the acid-litmus test for love is obedient. Jesus said, “If you love me, you will obey my commandments” (John 14:15). In (John 14:21), 23 Jesus also said, “He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father,
and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him….If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.” Let’s also look at (2
John 1:6) “And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it” Now the question is, what is this commandment? Well,
let not your heart be troubled because his commandments are not burdensome. “For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome” (1 John 5:3).
The answer is very simple. Jesus himself provided the answer when he was asked the same question. (Matthew 22:35-40) 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these
two commandments.”
God’s Commandment Is For Us To Love Him And Also To Love One Another : - In
(1 Peter 4:8 ) the Bible says, “Above all, love each other deeply. Love covers over a multitude of sins”. And (1 John 2:11) complements
it. “But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him”. (1 Corinthians 13 4-7) summarizes
what love is all about. “4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres”.
What Shall I Do To Recieve This Nature Of Love : - Love is the true nature of God. “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love”(1 John 4:8). To receive this nature of God, we must receive the one He sent which is His Son Jesus Christ, who died for our sins that we might be reconciled back to God. (Romans 5:8) says, “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.“
Prayer Of Salvation : - Say this simple prayer NOW: Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner. I believe that you died for my sins. Please forgive me my sins and wash me with your blood. Come into my life now and be my Lord and personal saviour. Thank you Lord for saving me.In Jesus name. AMEN!
JESUS THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD - SALVATION - Get right with God: - I want you to understand that without giving your life to Christ, by accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal saviour, and living a holy and righteous life, you are not yet a born again child of God, and as such, you will not inherit the kingdom of God. God loves you. “The thoughts of God towards you are thoughts of good and not of evil to give you your expected end.” (Jeremiah 29:11). If you don’t accept Jesus TODAY, your prayers will be hindered because the Bible says that the prayer of a sinner is an abomination in the sight of God (Proverbs 28:9).
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16).
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all man. (Titus 2:11).
Surely, his salvation is nigh them that fear him that glory may dwell in our land. (Psalm 85:9).
And being made perfect, he (Christ) became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey
him. (Hebrews 5:9).
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
The
thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10).
Jesus The Light Of The World: - "When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 7:12) NIV. Again Jesus said, "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not" (John 1:5) KJV.
Message: - The light of God cannot shine in the life of a sinner because Jesus Himself hate Sin and so you have to try live a righteous life so you can attract His marvelous light to shine upon your destiny and cause you to do uncommon exploits as a born again child of the Most High God as you try and live a Holy and Righteous life in Jesus name. Amen!.
Except A Man Be Born Again: - "Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6) NIV. Again, "Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3) KJV.
Message: - Beloved, our Lord Jesus Christ is calling for your total REPENTANCE today, asking you to forsake your sinful ways and give your life to Christ and embrace the unfailing love of Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal savior for your total safety against the power of HELL that wants your soul to die as a sinner so you can end your eternity in HELLFIRE. But i pray, that wil not be your portion if you dont allow it in Jesus name. Amen!.
Take Up Your Cross, Calvary Cross, JESUS Is The Cross: -"Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me" (Mathew 16:24) KJV.
Message: - This simply means that God espects you to be steadfast in your relationship with Him. This means that Jesus Likes followers who are not double minded in thier kingdom race to make Heaven. This also means that the moment you give your life to Jesus, and decide to work for Him, you should totally forget your old life styles and dont go back to your Sinful behaviour again. At this point, Jesus espects you to be more serious about the decision you have made to serve Him forever without wavering or looking back to backslide. Read (1 Peter 2:11).
CBHIM : - In "CBHIM" we believe in soul winning by taking the gospel of JESUS CHRIST round the globe and reaching out to the unreached with the word of God because Jesus loves you and He would not let your soul perish in hell fire if you believe and accept Him into your life today as your Lord and personal saviour and it shall be well with you in Jesus name. Remember, JESUS is coming again to pick the saints home. Beloved, if the trumphet sound NOW, ARE YOU RAPTURE READY?, If Christ come now, will your soul rapyure?

HOLINESS: - A life of Holiness is a life that is set apart to God. Holiness is the primary description of God in the Bible. In (1Peter 1:13-16), Peter writes to believers, “Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behaviour; because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.” Peter is quoting from (Leviticus 11:44 and Leviticus 19:2).
Be Set Apart: - As believers, we need to be “set apart” from the world unto the Lord. We need to be living by God’s standards, not the world’s. God isn’t calling us to be perfect, but to be distinct from the world. (1 Peter 2:9) describes believers as “a holy nation.” It is a fact! We are separated from the world; we need to live out that reality in our day-to-day lives, which Peter tells us how to do in (1Peter 1:13-16).
Give Honour To God: -
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. (Psalm 29:2).
And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called The way of holiness;
the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. (Proverbs
9:10)
Clean Yourself From All Filthiness: - Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (2 Corinthians 7:1). For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. (Mark 6:20). Anything that is filthy is not clean, and anything that is not clean is not of God, and anything that is not of God is not LOVE because GOD is LOVE and all who call themselves children of God must love one another with true and genuine love.
RIGHTEOUSNESS: - Righteousness connotes right standing with God. It’s not possible to be righteous without salvation – giving your life to Christ. A right relationship with God culminates in holiness. Righteousness is the one who walks with integrity,and walks upright and righteous, who speaks truth from his heart.
Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any nation (Proverbs 14:34). The eyes of the Lord
are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.The righteous cry, and the Lordheareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles (Psalm 34:15-17; 1 Peter 3:2). The word of God said "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy,
let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. (Revelation 22:11-12). For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance
doth behold the upright. (Psalm 11:7)
The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. (Proverbs 11:8).
Beloveth, as you walk in Salvation, Holiness & Righteousness, I bet you, your life will never remain the same, but will definitely receive a turn around to the glory of God.
Secondly, let’s
talk about PROPHECY, DELIVERANCE & PRAYER, and see how meaningful and important they are to us as Christians.
PROPHECY: - Prophecy speaks or reveals about past events, present events and future events. It can be summed up as words that are spoken on behalf of God. A prophet or prophetess is one who is a spokesman for God. It is a divine utterance that comes from the Holy Spirit. (Note: Just as there are prophetic words from God, there are also false prophecies that the Lord warned us about in the Bible. In (Matthew 7:15-16) Jesus said, “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits–.”We must prove the source of prophecy before accepting it as coming from the Lord). God is raising up many prophetic voices in the earth Is Prophecy Scriptural? Yes! Let’s see. His gifts of prophecy are basically of two types. The “simple gift of prophecy” which every believer can express under the unction or direction of the Holy Spirit after they have been filled with the Holy Ghost. “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit….. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues.” (1 Corinthians 12: 8-10).
The “office gift” of the spirit which is given to a prophet or prophetess who is called to the “five-fold” ministry office as outlined in (1 Corinthians 12:28) which says “And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.”Also (Ephesians 4:11-12) which says “And he gave some, apostles; and some prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
The basic difference between these two types is, the simple gift of prophecy is given to all spirit filled believers as spoken of in (1 Corinthians 14:31),”For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.”It is for the purpose of edification, exhortation and comfort as spoken of in (1Corinthians
14:3),”But he that Prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.”
The “office gift” of a prophet or prophetess is given to speak
to the body of Christ at large. The ministers who are called to the office of a prophet or prophetess will deliver messages also which include edification, exhortation and comfort but their messages can also be directive in nature and futuristic in content
as well (Ephesians 4:11-15).
The Bible says,”For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 peter1:17-21).
DELIVERANCE: - The word deliverance simply means freedom from all manner of affliction. Is Deliverance Scriptural? Yes! Jesus himself said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised” (Luke 4:18; Isaiah 61:1). Let’s see some other bible quotations. “But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” in (Obadiah 1:17). The word of God said “The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.”(Psalm 34: 17-19). “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”(Exodus 14:14).
PRAYER: - The word prayer means talking to God and allowing God to speak to you in return. It’s reasoning and meditating with God always, time thout number. Prayer is also the weapon of a Christian because, a prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian, while a prayer less Christian is a powerless ChriIs Prayer Scriptural? Yes! Let’s see. The first menof prayer is found in (Genesis 4:26), “And as for Seth, to him also a son worn; and he named him Enoch. Then men began to call on the name of the LORD.” (Luke 18:1) The Lord himself instructed us to pray, “Then Jesus spoke a parable to them that men always ought to pray and not lose heart”. Also, in (Matthew 26:41), he says, “Keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For though the spirit is willing enough, the body is weak” (NLT). “He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.”(Psalm 102:17). ”Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.” (Psalm 4:1). “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered only by repeating their words again and again.” (Matthew 6:7 (NLT). In (John 15:7) the Bible says “But if you stay joined to me and my words remain in you, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted” (NLT)
What If I Don’t Know How Or What To Pray?: - The Holy Spirit will help you in prayer when
you don’t know how to pray. (Romans 8:26-27) says, “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with
groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will. (NIV)”
May God bless you all in
Jesus name, Amen!
THE HOY SPIRIT - WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?: - The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. He is fully God. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. The Holy Spirit has a "will" and can speak. He is alive and He is a person. He is not particularly visible because His ministry is to bear withness of Jesus, read (John 15:26).
Some people say the Holy Spirit is a force which is false because God is not a man but spirit which is the HOLY SPIRIT in question. If the Holy Spirit were merely a force, then He would not speak read (Acts 13:2); He could not be grieved read (Eph. 4:30); and He could not have a "will" read (I Cor. 12:11). The truth is that the Holy Spirit is a person the same as the Father and the Son are within the Trinity.
What Does The Holy Spirit Do? : - You are welcome to this section and I'm glad you're interested in the Holy Spirit, because it's impossible to follow God unless we are led by the Holy Spirit. And the only way to be led by the Holy Spirit is to follow God's command to be filled by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). Interestingly, God contrasts being filled with the Holy Spirit with being drunk. Somebody who is drunk with wine or alcohol is controlled by and consumed by alcohol. But somebody who is "drunk in the Spirit" is controlled and consumed by the Holy Spirit, who helps us live holy lives.
How Are We Filled With The Holy Spirit? : - The Holy Spirit entered you when you decided to give your life to Christ, to become a Christian. But we need to continually ask the Holy Spirit to lead us, to guide us, to help us do the things God wants us to do. When we're growing as Christians, we should allow the Holy Spirit to take total control over more and more areas of our lives. The Holy Spirit plays many roles. You can read about some of them in these passages: (John 14:15-27, John 16:5-15, Romans 8:1-17, Galatians 5:16-26). The Bible says in (John chapter 14), for example, Jesus says the Holy Spirit will comfort us when we're hurting. "I will not leave you as orphans," Jesus says in (John 14:18), promising that the Holy Spirit will bring us peace (John 14:27). Jesus also says that the Holy Spirit will help us recall the things we've learned about God read (John 14:26) which also means the Holy Spirit will help us when we tell others about our faith.
In John chapter 16, Jesus refers to Holy Spirit as a "Counselor" who will guide us in our everyday lives. One way he'll guide us is by convicting us of sin (John 16:8). And this is really a good thing: God wants us to get rid of the things that displease him, and the only way to identify those things is to be convicted by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit works through our conscience to make us aware of sin in our lives.
In Romans chapter 8 the Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit will help us stop sinning and do the things that please God. A verse in that chapter also tells us that the Holy Spirit will help us in pray in (Romans 8:26). We've all gone to God and said, "Lord, I'm just not sure how to pray or what to say." The Holy Spirit helps us in those times, and actually intercedes for us, saying the prayers for us even when we dont know what to say or pray. All you need to do is to take a step of faith in Christ Jesus by accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal saviour and the gift of the Holy Spirit will come upon you.
Now, the Holy Spirit can't do all the work for us. We're still responsible to do our part especially to consistently read our Bibles and pray, asking the Holy Spirit to show us the truth and teach us how to live Holy lives.
It's important to always remember that the Holy Spirit will not prompt us to do anything that goes against the Scripture. People sometimes justify their actions by saying, "My conscience told me … " We need to make sure we're listening to the right voice which is that of the Holy Spirit and not the voice of our own desires and others. And we know which is which by checking this voice against the truth of God's Word.
How Can You Tell If You're Being Led By The Holy Spirit ? : -The Bible say by their fruit you shall know them in (Mathew 7:16). By the "fruit" of your life, your attitudes and actions, in ( Galatians 5:22-23)which says, "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Are these things evident in your life? Two verses later says, "Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Holy Spirit." Praise God!!!.

WHAT IS SIN & REPENTANCE? : - Sin is whatever is ungodly before God. EVIL- Sin can be classified as Evil e.g Fornication, Adultery, Lesbianism, Homoxesualism, Mastobation/Masturbation, Stealing, Keeping Malise, Bearing false witness against someone, Killing, Smoking, Backbiting/Blackmailing, Telling lies, Evil wealth and many others. UNGODLY CHARACTERS, BEHAVIOUR or ATTITUDE - Are - Pride, Proud, Envy, Jealousy, Selfisness and many others. The Bible says "If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them" (James 4:17) NIV.
A CALL TO SALVATION: - Salvation is when you have accepted Jesus into your life as your Lord and personal saviour by confessing your sins and forsaking them and by walking in the ordinances of God as a born again believer. So you need to accept Jesus into your life today as He stands at the door of your heart knocking. The word of God said "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me" in (Revelation 3:20).
IS HEAVEN YOUR AIM? : - If "YES" is your answer please kindly repeat these prayers after me:
"Lord Jesus, I'm a Sinner, I confess my Sins before you this day, I acknwoledged you died on the Cross for my sake, Forgive me of my Sins and have mercy on me, Remove my name in the book of death and write my name in the book of life, Come into my life today and be my Lord and personal Saviour, Thank you JESUS for saving my life today, Amen!
NOTE: - Now that you have giving your life to Jesus Christ, the next step is for you to look for a Bible believing church and be active in God's vineyard. Remember, faith without work is dead. In (James 2:26) the Bible says "For as the body without the spirit is dead, (which is the HOLY SPIRIT), so faith without works is dead also".

WATER BAPTISM : - Water Baptism means to immerse a person in water and out of water just as Jesus was baptised in River Jordan by John the baptist in (Mathew 3:13-17). The meaning of water baptism is that the Bible refers baptism to be burial. Meaning that you are buried with or in Christ according to His word in (Romans 6:4, Colossians 2:12). Water baptism symbolizes a person’s dying to his past life styles and beginning to live a new life as a true Christian who is dedicated to God. Baptism and the steps that lead up to it are God’s arrangement for a person to gain a clean conscience based on his faith in the sacrifice death of Jesus Christ on the Cross - (1Peter 3:21). Jesus Himself said that every of His disciples must be baptized in (Mathew 28:19 -20).
Does Water Baptism Wash Away Sin? : - The answer is NO. The Bible teaches that you can be cleansed from SIN only through by the blood Jesus shed on the Cross for your sins in (Romans 5:8-9, 1John 1:7). However, to benefit from this sacrifice of Jesus Christ you must be born again and exercise your faith in Jesus by changing your old ways and embracing your new you in Christ by forsaking your sins and living in harmony with Jesus and His teachings and be baptized so as to recieve the free gift of the Holy Spirit and be refreshed according to the word of God in (Acts 2:38 and Acts 3:19).
Does The Bible Teach Infant Baptism? : - No, it does not because Christian baptism is for those that are old enough to understand it and believe in the good news of the Kingdom of God in (Acts 8:12). It is also because this is linked with hearing God’s word, accepting it, and repenting which required actions that an infant cannot take according to (Acts 2:22 and Acts 38:41). In addition to this, the Bible shows that God sees the young children of Christians as being holy, or clean in his sight, because of the parents’ faithful born again believers in (1 Corrinthians 7:14). If infanst baptism were valid, those children would not need to have the merit of someone else extended to them. Is Baptism By Sprinkling or Pouring Of Water Biblical? - The answer to this is that "Complete immersion in water was the ONLY method of baptism practiced by the true believers and followers of God and Jesus Christ His Son". It is unbiblical, false, and misleading even though some Churches practice it .
Misunderstandings About Christian Baptism: - The baptisms mentioned in the Bible all involved immersion. For example, when the disciple Philip baptized the Ethiopian man, they “went down into the water” for the baptism. Afterward, “they came up out of the water in (Acts 8:36-39). The Bible implies that infants were included when entire households were baptized in (Acts 16:31- 34). The word in (Acts 16:31-34) indicates that those who were baptized in that man's household understood the word of Jehovah God and that they rejoiced greatly. Those facts lead to the conclusion that any infants in his household would not have been included in the baptism, because they could not understand the word of Jehovah God in quote. Jesus taught infant baptism by saying that the Kingdom belongs to young children in (Mathew 18:13-15, Mark 10:13-16). Jesus was not discussing baptism when he said those words. Instead, He was showing that those who would qualify for the Kingdom of God must be (childlike, meek and teachable) in (Mathew 18:4, Luke 18:16-17). Thank you for reading this message and if you are not yet accepted Jesus into your life and be baptized you can do so now by contacting us o we can put you through and arrange for water baptism for you in Jesus name.
HOLY COMMUNION:- Holy Communion is a celebration that is done in Christian churches around the world on a weekly or monthly basis. Holy Communion is a time of communing together among brethren. It is a chance to bring ourselves before the Lord and partake in the life He has given to us through His death and resurrection. The elements used to represent Jesus Christ's body and blood are bread and wine. When we take holy communion as believers, we are remembering Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. The bread and wine are tangible, visible reminders of Christ’s love. Just as we depend on food and drink to live physically, so we can only live spiritually through Christ who died for us. Holy Communion is also a time to be in community with fellow believers both past and present as people who are one in Christ wether dead or alive. Holy Communion was esterblished by Jesus Christ Himself as it is recounted in the following scriptures in (Matthew, Mark, and Luke). It is written:
"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, take and eat, this is my body", Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins" in (Mathew 26:26-28).
Again in (John 6:53-54) Jesus states that "unless we eat His flesh and drink His blood, we have no life in us: Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day". The eternal life Jesus mean here is Him because the Bible said He is the giver of eternal life which means you need to be born again by accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour and engage yourself in a Bible beleiving Church/Ministry where you will be nurtured and grow in the fear/knowledge of God so you can be rapture ready and make Heaven where you will spend eternity with Christ and there shall be no more sorrrow in there for you if you believe in Jesus name.
EVANGELISM : - Evangelism is one way in which we can fulfill Christ’s call to be His witnesses in (Acts 1:8) by preaching, announcing, sharing and communicating the gospel our salvation. Evangelism is about delivering the message that Jesus Christ is not only the Son of God but also that He gave His life as a sacrifice for our sins. In doing so, He ensured eternal life for anyone who believes in Him. Evangelism, which is spreading the gospel, is very important to Jesus because is based on soul winning. As the Bible tells us, Jesus came so that we may live. Jesus wants everyone to know this truth so they, too, can be part of God’s holy kingdom if they repent from their sinful ways and turn to God in Holiness and in Righteousness and they shall be saved. Evangelism is a warning revival movement any form of ungodly behaviour and attitudes. Warnning unbelievers about the destruction and everlasting condemnation they will face on the judgement day if they do not obey the warnning which is to repent from their sins and accept Jesus as their Lord and personal saviour today before is too late as the coming of the Lord is at hand. It is our duties as born again children of God to share with others the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ as we have been thought in our various Churches/Ministries for soul winning. Now the question is this, how many souls have you won over to Christ since you gave your life to Jesus wether as a man of God or as a member?, or is your name written in the book of life or not?
RESTITUTION : - Restitution means the restoration of something stolen or lost back to the proper/rightful owner. It can also be defined as the recompense for injury or loss by the person responsible for the injury or loss. You can also say Restitution is the act of returning something that has been lost or stolen or compensating for the theft of or damage to property. In the Bible, it most often refers to an owner being reimbursed by someone who has stolen or harmed the owner's property. It is completely biblical for someone to pay for damages or loss. The truth of the whole matter here is that if you have something in your possession that is not yours you need to return it to the rightful owner as a born again child of God that you are before is too late to do so. In the world of today, many people in one way or the other has taken what does not belong to them from the people they feel they can cheat, decieve, abuse, manipulate, take to court etc because the rubber/cheater feels the person they are cheating have no one to help them, for example (the poor, the widows/widowers, the orphans, the less oriviledged people and so on out of wickedness. Restitution is going back to those you have told lies to against someone who did not do you any wrong and tell them that all you have told them against that innocent person are lies and also go to the person you lied against and confess so that God can forgive you because many has caused many pains due to this kind of wicked and ungodly attitudes against their fellow human beings in one way or the other. Many are causing others deep pains in every or different areas of their lives and are also oppressing the poor by taking their land or any property that belongs to them because they simply feels no one will fight for them and such people who do this evil and wicked act must repent and go for their restitution before its too late for them to do so as we are already in the last days and RAPTURE will soon take place. You cannot call yourself a child of God and yet you are using your heart, mind, soul, spirit and body and your mouth to wish people death, badluck, failure, wickedness of all kinds and so on. The Bible said " The wicked cannot see or enter the Kingdom of God" in (1 Corinthians 6:9). So repent today and return those things you knew are not yours you took from people directly or indirectly back to them before your death or rapture in Jesus name.
THE RAPTURE - Life After Death - The Rapture Is At Hand - Do You Want To Escape The Great Tribulation? - Is Rapture Real? - Prepare To Meet Thy God: - The Rapture according to the word of God is the event in which believers, both living and dead, will be caught up with the Lord Jesus in the air at the same time and enter, with glorified bodies, into eternity in (Thessalonians 4:16-17, 1Corinthians 15:52).
The End Is Near:The word of God said those who do not know Christ as their Lord and Saviour will be left behind as Jesus explained the nature or the example of the rapture in (Mathew 24:39-41) saying that is how it will be at the coming of the Son of man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Tow women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. Repent and be born again Jesus is coming very soon, He is coming sooner than you can imagine. The signs of end times are all over the world as warning to everyone who is not yet saved in Christ Jesus the giver of eternal life. May God open your eyes of understanding so you can know the truth and be set free from the bondage of Sin and prepare yourself for the rapture in Jesus name.
