This is the Church (redeemed Christians): gates of hell shall not prevail against

1)            Lucifer went after the Woman, for the actuation of execrable killing two birds with one stone: get the Church and eventually the Man, the head of humanity, into whose hands have been put the charge of the earth and its fullness. The Devil knew that the Church will earn him the latria of his concupiscent crave. Lucifer cannot appreciate true worship: he just wanted to rape the Church. When Lucifer understood, “I will make him a help meet for him,” and he saw that the creation of the Woman was actually a building: for the word ‘made’ of Genesis 2:22 bânâh (baw-naw’) means: ‘to build’ it was clear that the LORD God was about to consummate “I will build my Church.” Bent on depicting his unscrupulous incorrigibility, the Devil said to himself, “And I will do everything to thwart the success of Your Church.” Lucifer was bent on erection of a parallel church, especially, one which will attract much more of the earth’s set of innumerable ungodly people. If he must have his own church, it can only be sourced from creationism reality.

To the headquarters of Adamic suzerainty Lucifer meandered, employing the stealthy duality of creeps and pads into Eden. His unfortunate Garden of Eden conquest made the evil one the god of sinfulness of the world.

                The New Testamentary Church of the living God commenced with official Apostolic headship that nurtured the nascency of the Church into adulthood. At the death the Apostles, pastors e.g. Timothy and Titus began to head each local assembly. The Devil relentlessly perfected his pollution pursuit of the Church. Under the Apostolic care of John, the last of the Apostles, Satan raised Cerintus to pollute the scriptural heart of Church members with his Docetism. Docetic catechizing of Cerintus targeted the debauchment of Christological quiddity. He taught people of the Church that the Christ is just a consciousness, with no real life. That the concept of Christ merely sits on a person and after it has achieved its usefulness leaves. He taught that the Christ came upon Jesus at the Jordan baptism and left him when He went to the cross.

This Cerintus met Apostolic resistance from John the Apostle who condemned Docetism in 1John 2:18-19 18) “Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” He wrote in 1John 4:3 “And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:” and in another place, “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into [your] house, neither bid him God speed” (2John 1:10).

Out of Rome the Devil reared his ugly, monstrous head in Roman Catholic Church, which I aptly call the biggest religious fraud on earth. Successive Popery leadership of this church hates to be corrected when Catholicism runs contrary to Scripture. Some fortunate ones got embarrassingly excommunicated. Others got thrown into gulags, while several who dared question the “Infallibility” of the Pope got burned alive at stakes. The success of Martin Luther led to Protestantism. As they broke away from the umbilical clutch of Catholicism, to establish their various new Churches, some retained unscriptural catechism, and some added to biblical establishment. Eisegesis has, with the goading of Satanism, become the order of ecclesiastical homiletics.

The earrings Jacob buried were not ordinary ornaments they were truly talismans

Reverend Chris Okotie, very careful not to dabble into faux pas of eisegetical anomaly, will tell you when teaching the Bible, “I cannot give you an Eleventh Commandment.” In one of the General Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible Church, W. F. Kumuyi’s teaching on spiritual understanding of wearing earrings, he said, “They knew that those earrings had become like a god, demigod, goddess,” referring to Genesis 35:4. Pastor Kumuyi also taught, saying, “The wearing of mustache and beard could become gods.” Male members of Deeper Life Bible Ministry, headed by W.F. Kumuyi, for this reason, will not allow any jut of beard or the upper lip hair to show.

Let us go through W.F. Kumuyi’s teaching one by one. That they knew that those earrings were objects of idolatry is quite unquestionable. But the truth here is that it was not the fashion of wearing nose rings – which is exactly what the Hebraic word, nezem, means – it was because they were objects of Semitic idolatry. Talismans bear objects and or images of entities of ungodly worship. Remember Rachel sat on one of them when his father accused Jacob’s household of stealing from him. Genesis 31:29-30 29) “It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad. 30) And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?” Those nose rings they handed over must be talismans of protection or divination, hence, objects of idolatry.

On the Day of Pentecost: Christianity received power.

You can put on the righteousness of Jesus by getting born again. Say this simple prayer, meaning it from your heart:

 “Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
