The Fruit Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil (2)

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is to test Adamic obedience. I sincerely believe that if the pristine family had victoriously ostracized the cursed tree and, especially, lived to one thousand years of their existence, the LORD God, Who walked in the Garden every cool of the day would have brought for them, clothes to further prove their lordship over the cosmos. God wants to see the true Christ-like lifestyle in the Adamic elevation. It takes true obedience to love the LORD God with all the heart, mind, thought and strength. It does require from an individual, true obedience, to adhere strictly to, “Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left” (Deuteronomy 5:32). The word ‘observe’ is shâmar (shaw-mar’): 'to keep, guard, give heed, have charge of, keep watch and ward, protect, save life.’ The first ever instructions God gave to Adam on his day of creation is, “to dress it and to keep it” (Genesis 2:15); where ‘dress’ is ‛âbad (aw-bad'): ‘to work, serve, to labour, till;' and ‘keep’ is shâmar (shaw-mar’) the same as ‘observe’ of Deuteronomy 5:22. Disappointingly, Adam failed to protect his Eden residence, which is truly God’s house. He failed to guard against the incursion of Satanism, which can only be possible by his inability to use the Word of God. Disobedience to the Word of God is definitely a yielding to the entrapment of Satanism. Read More

The Fruit Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil (1)

So, God had to warn them not to be associated with disobedience, fitly, the representation of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In sincere veridicality, the eating of the fruit is not as wrongful as the disobedient act of “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:” instructional warning from the Divine lips of the LORD God. The grave essence of disobedience to the word of God is simply in the contention with the desire of God. It means you have no iota of respect for the Most High, the Creator. It means that you detest the instruction of God. In other words, you are more knowledgeable than God. God’s law will never become otiose. No philosophy, creed, change of events and time or power can successfully render the law of God obsolete. Going against the express word of God is a direct confrontation to Jehovah. Before God makes any law, He goes from eternity past, to the present time of this age, right through eternity to come, making sure it will stand the times of all existence; then He puts the law into words. It is sacrilegious to show disobedience to the word of God. The Word of God is Himself! When Adam took the fruit from his wife and ate it, he rebelled, like Lucifer, against the Supreme Being. How can one be stupid enough to rebel against the One who is altogether Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent? The one must be wallowing in state of egregious dummkopf. Is the LORD God not the Being of eternality? Anyone stupid enough to go against Him is guilty of eternality of damnation, no doubt. Read More

Èsù, the Master Dialectician (3)

How could Satan have dragged Jesus from the wilderness to the Temple’s pinnacle? Very simple; his dialectical mastery made him paint the flagitious picture, spreading the image of his deception before Jesus – right there, in the wilderness. For every temptation there is a scriptural solution, “And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” Èsù, the master dialectician failed. Employ the word of God and the enemy’s stratagem comes to nought. The strength of the dialecticism of Èsù turns unwary hearts into stones of inexorability. King Saul was dribbled to the point of forgetting that the Jewish throne is the LORD’s doing. Desiring his son, Jonathan, to succeed him, David must be hunted and hacked to death. Just beware of this enemy and do everything scripturally possible to keep yourself away from the sway of Èsù, the dialectician. You cannot be too wise for him, as long as he is able to make you drop your spiritual guard. After all the dramatic afflictions, Solomon would wish they were all dreams. Under the persuasive goading of the master dialectician, Solomon married several poisonous wives. The enemy’s dialecticism is often aphrodisiac. The king was shown the beauty of Bathsheba and the dialectician’s words, mesmerizing amatorial indiscipline, brought David to his knees. The deceitful mastery of his persuasive words gain conquest just because we forget the instructions of the LORD God.Read More

The LORD God did everything to make peace with Cain but the Devil had dialectically overwhelmed his mentality to goad his recruitment into the service of Satanism. God wanted to make peace with Cain. He told him, “Get a domestic animal; use it as a sin offering; and I’ll forgive you.” Catastrophically, though, the deceitful promises of Lucifer had darkened Cain’s heart to the point of ‘no return'! It would not surprise me if Cain had told the Creator, “To hell with your sacrifices!” Even those who brilliantly get nine correct answers out of ten in mathematics class exercise must do their corrections of the single sum. Cain hated to do his correction; he hated to even be corrected. Those who hate to be corrected are Lucifer-dangerous! Going through the rituals of corrections set you right with the LORD God who is all goodness without a scintilla of wrongness of evil. Shunning corrections is a metaphor that paints God with erraticism. Love to be corrected and get your ways mended; live happily ever after before the thrice holy Jehovah. Amen! Cain had been dribbled into the coven of Satanism. Like billions of cultists of this day, Cain believed the sweet talk from the lips of Satan would present him with comfort, convenience, fame and riches of the terra firma. The words of the evil dialectician had doomed him forever. The proof of Cain’s satanic sacerdotal official role is underscored in Genesis 4:8. Read More

How the hypocrisy of this individual managed to infiltrate and subsequently overcome the mental reasoning of a number of fellow angelic beings; not one, four or ten, not even a hundred or a thousand, but an unbelievable whole one-third, grossing to about five billion celestial angels will remain a huge mystery till we get the full gist when we get to heaven. What bewitching stunt of verbalism could have accounted for his championing Satanism that made them to follow a fellow created being, in unfathomable rejection of the LORD God of the Rainbow Administration of the empyrean assizes? Mystery, mystery, mystery. All that I know is Satan’s reediting of God’s Word. When the instructions of God becomes boredom or out of fashion, know of certainty that Satan has perfected his pad and creep into an unwary mind with one motto: to steal, kill and destroy. Not a smidgeon of a doubt in my mind is that Lucifer would have told them an elevation he sought, which, with their support, enhanced their own spiritual elevation should they acquiesce to his independent break away from the Creator and set up a parallel apotheosis where he, Lucifer will receive the latria. The minute one’s perception hooks on another entity of worship, other than the empyrean Godhead of the Rainbow Administration, is a mark of spiritual insanity.Read More

TWO INDUBITABLE FACTORS OF MARITAL SUCCESS (5)

Was it not after the creation of the female Adam that God scored His creation, “Very good”? The Woman is the icing on the cake of the Adamic creation, epitomizing the Christological quiddity, and from whose matrix comes the Incarnation. “In the Woman,” Reverend Chris Okotie observed, as he explained, from his theological studies, “Is a Divine investment much more than the Man.” Our marital love and submission will be tested. The woman of Eden did not submit herself to the revealed words of, Genesis 2:17 “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” In order to save the marriage from another death, submission is the antidote. The Man would rather offend God; Adam forgot Deuteronomy 6:5 “And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.” To bring God into a perfect picture of the marriage, the man must take on the responsibility of the definition of God: love. Let the man ever treat his wife with the love of agapé, and let the LORD’s submission commandment from the wife be a continuous exercise. Marriage is a theological exclusivity for Christianity. Why would God tell Israel never to marry outside the community of Jewry? The investment is strictly for those who are close to Him. The first woman was created from an existing congruity of the male Adam. The woman must have her ears close to the man, agreeing with him in all things according to the Word of God. Knowing quite well that she comes from this Adam, the good LORD knows that the woman should not find it difficult to bring her submission to her husband. Marriage is definitely not about sex and child bearing. It is about strict commitment and submission to the will of the Institutor of marriage: JESUS. Selah!Read More

TWO INDUBITABLE FACTORS OF MARITAL SUCCESS (4)

If you have to marry, understand that the man, first of Adamic creation, is the head of the family and he is in control of family matters according to divine fiat! Reverend Chris Okotie was his recondite self when teaching on the relationship between Adam the man and his wife. He said, “Adam, as a worker for God, has the entire earth as his platform; and Eve, his wife, has Adam, her husband, as her own platform.” How so abstruse, this exegetical establishment. Does the Scripture agree with the erudition of Reverend Chris Okotie? Genesis 2:15 “And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.” The man, Adam, is the first worker for God and the earth is his platform. Superintendence over an entity lies with the namer of the object. In naming the woman, he proved to be her superintendent husband. In her creation, she was taken out of the existing Adam, her husband. Her husband is her source. Do we all not know what happens when one is cut off from one’s source? One begins to malfunction. When the husband withholds his duteous love of commitment, or and when the wife decides to jettison God’s submissive mand, the home experiences malfunctioning. If the man’s platform is the earth, based on his scriptural formation from the dust, the wife’s platform of her duty to the Creator is the man, out of whom she came into existence. As far as the family organization is concerned, the husband – the one who has God’s oracle – seeks direction from God; and God expects the wife to look up to the husband for her own direction. You cannot change God’s protocol. Coming from the LORD God, His command is eternally in order and in vogue. So, you see, if you cannot abide by divine rules, just forget about marriage.Read More

TWO INDUBITABLE FACTORS OF MARITAL SUCCESS (3)

The reason why the woman happens to be the recipient of this hupotasso cautionary counsel of Divinity takes us back to the Eden commission of the original sin. Being the first to taste of the fruit of Satanism, she is very likely to see her husband as one beneath her as carnal propensity will allow. The only way to tame her satanic exposure is to bring her, as the wife, under the subjection of the man. God is so wise! Amen! The hatred borne out of cultural differences does not, in any way, have any place or any role to play in the Divine instituted matrimony. You cannot tell me you are a Christian and allow mundane culture to garb you in a benighted colouration. I, honestly, do understand the known medical hara-kiri involved in the marriage of a courting couple having genotypes of AS and SS or worst still SS and SS, considering a couple of AS and AS. Will I advise medically incongruity of a couple not to marry or to marry? Truly, my advice will be, “Are you sure of what you’re plunging yourself into? Because the danger is giving birth to children who’ll ask you why you brought them into this world only to suffer from periodic excruciating pains from childhood till the day of death.” I will not tell them it is wrong and scripturally sinful to enter into marriage. What if they have enough faith to avert the abnormality of genotypes for every offspring that comes from the wife’s womb? What if in the course of their marriage they are able to pray themselves into their change from abnormal genotypes? Will the man of God who had vehemently opposed the union not be seen as one having no knowledge of what the LORD God is capable of doing and who also is deficient in faith, without which no man pleases the LORD God? What if their conjugation has no intention of bearing children, but just to partake in God’s institution, to show forth an adumbration of Christ and His body? Theologically, carnal sentimentalism shoved aside, will such couple be stupid idiots to enter into marriage? Most definitely, I think not! Read More

TWO INDUBITABLE FACTORS OF MARITAL SUCCESS (2)

The first thing of note is that marriage is expected to be contract of legality between two children of Jesus. I have always made the firm reiteration of the fact that marriage is truly an act between only Christians. It is God’s institution to propagate the earth with His covenantal people. The first marriage between the two Adams never experienced termination. Why? God will not involve two people who will destroy His institution. What did God do when the first humans committed the sin of death? He brought forth the lamb of propitiation, which is an adumbration of the Golgotha substitutionary death. The Golgotha phenomenon reestablished the marriage to the Lamb – a marriage that will never suffer termination. Are we ever going to have idiosyncratic differences with the Lord Jesus when we meet in heaven? It will never occur! The two marriage stabilizing verses, being God’s injunctions, have eternal consequence. Will two true Christians marry, the husband ready to shower the commitment of agapē, and the lady is duly, with all willingness, eager to hupotasso to the husband in all things as Ephesians 5:24 “Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing” reads, and all other things will not fall in beautiful places? The word ‘subject’ of Ephesians 5:24 is also the Greek hupotasso. What are we to understand from this is that the wife’s submission is not intended to glorify or pamper the proclivity of the man’s idiosyncratic ego. I did not write the Bible, so I cannot be seen as being biased or chauvinistic. The husband, the man of the house, must bring the woman under his submission only according to the word of Christ so that his headship of the family will truly resemble the will of Jesus Christ for the Church.Read More

TWO INDUBITABLE FACTORS OF MARITAL SUCCESS (1)

What we fail to acknowledge simply is that these lofty ideals could be fashions of Satanism, just to throw us off the true course of marital bliss. If it is not strictly in conformity with the Scriptures and you fail or refuse to jettison it, you may end up entangled in irredeemable confusion. When you take the dose of Divine prescription, it is unwise and evil to add your own ‘supplementary vitamin’ for more effectiveness. God’s dosage is eternally the accurate solution. On God’s prescribed solution to marital bliss hang other resultant facts. These facts emanate from God’s divine perception. Chasing after those resultant production is merely spending your hard earned resources on symptomatic issues, leaving the fatal ones to increase in evil strength. Symptoms are mere smokescreens intended to keep you far, far away from the true cause of insalubrity. Strict adherence to scriptural wisdom is what one should stick to, stubbornly, if you would. Of course, it is quite evident that their conjugal prescriptions tend to be sourced from God’s protocol, but their counselling are mainly on the trivialities of symptomatic issues like: make sure you kiss everyday; hold hands very often; know when to ask questions; you must sleep together on the same bed; do not keep secrets; wait for one another at meals; be frank with one another et cetera. What is wrong with these exhortations? Nothing. But they fail to address the two indubitable factors of marriage success. Read More

CAN I BE PERFECT BEFORE THE LORD? (IV)

The death, resurrection, ascension and session of Jesus has totally redeemed the born again Christian. He cannot go back to the ‘flesh', a metonym for ‘human efforts'. If you are truly born again, Christ is your righteousness, not through the efforts of your moral rectitude. We cannot, for one second, take our eyes of faith towards God off Jesus, and like Paul, should count those things we used to pride ourselves in, things we have lost, because of Jesus, as dung. Patience becomes the test of our unwavering faith in the One with Whom we have to do. Abraham died, not walking, as the landlord of Canaan promise. His unwavering faith in Him Who had promised, earned him a big position in the Hebrews chapter eleven Hall of Faith. His faith earned him an enviable “Friend of God!” Like Adam – before his fall – we can be perfect. Like Enoch, Noah, Abraham and Job who stood firm in the word of God, we can be perfect. This essence of perfection, however, is not of our own.Read More

It is true that those days of your ignorance, God brings not to His divine judgment, having cleansed you from all unrighteousness when you got born again; but is it not disturbing to the mind to find a Christian masquerading in the garb only fit for idolatrous beings? The injection of demonic polarization has torn the Church into fragments of diverse views of doctrines. We do not speak the same thing. We lack the perfection of being joined together. Some stress the fact that so long as they lead people to Christ for salvation, there is nothing to really worry about. What such people do not understand is that wrong teachings will weaken believers spiritually. Those weaknesses make one lose heavenly crowns. We run so contrary to one another when it comes to the exegetical didacticism of Scripture. Satan has successfully made sure of this. It must be understood that when Christ, our life, appears true children of God will “be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” Amen!Read More

The love of a parent does not permit him to twitch his nose when cleaning up his child of the putridity that comes from emptying the bowels. Commitment. The wife toils tirelessly to make the husband and the children comfortable. Commitment. Selflessly, the politician does everything to take care of the needs of the hoi polloi, the middle and the upper classes of the population, knowing that that is what the LORD God expects of him: he is committed to his political job. The love of Christ enables us not to perceive God’s commandments as being grievous. Having been graced with the attributes of love, the Holy Spirit has fortified us to live seamlessly in our walk with Jehovah. What constitutes perfection before God is doing His divine will. The LORD God is an economist when it comes to the use of words: verbosity cannot be found dancing on the lips of the Divinity. Adamic perfection is attainable. If not, He would have misused the words of Genesis 17:1 “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.” Abraham’s integrity before the LORD his God was indubitable. His faith in God, unwavering, was absolute. Yes, one can be perfect before God. What does it take? Strict adherence to His instructions and commandments is all it takes. The perfect LORD God has made it less arduous for those whose hearts seek Him to attain unto perfection before His scrutiny. Malicious thoughts are constantly running through the minds of people through the agency of Satanism. In order to get this evil from man’s system Jesus taught in Matthew 5:24 “Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.” You cannot serve two masters, spiritually speaking, God understands this facticity. To help you get freed from the contamination of malice: a sowing of Satanism, the Word of God tells you never to show yourself in the presence of the Most High Jehovah with Lucifer as your companion.Read More

For days, weeks, months or years of scriptural unaccountability the Adamic prototypical couple existed in a lifestyle of perfection. They were perfect until they allowed themselves into smearing their consciences with the ways of Satanism, leading to the break away from divine connectivity. If it was not possible to be perfect again the Bible will never make mention of Genesis 5:22 “And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:” where the verbal 'walked’ is hâlak (haw-lak’): ‘to go, walk, come, depart, proceed, move, to die, live, manner of life (simply put, ‘lifestyle’)'. Walking with God means doing the things pleasing to the Creator. The only way to the physical practice of this walk is to place each of your own feet of tread exactly on the footprint of the LORD’s walk. The word of God says, “because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers”; which proves that this love is just not mere palpitations of the affection that the heart is often experiencing. ‘Âhab with its Greek cognate agapé is a lifestyle of commitment.Read More

SCRIPTURAL SMALL-MINDEDNESS (14)

What happens to be the fashion nowadays is the throng emergence of the so-called “Apostles”. Definitely, they do not understand that an Apostle originally had pastors under his tutelage, based on The Acts of the Apostles understanding of the nascent Church nurturing into her adulthood. The Apostolic office was created to nurse the nascency of the Church in the days of Peter, John, James, Andrew, Paul and the rest. Check the Apostolic writings, they contain not a smidgeon of Scriptural error. They heard and learnt directly from the source of the Divinity: and taught flawlessly. By the time of their exits the Pastors had come of theological age to steer the vehicle of each local assembly properly. Pastors, from the day of the exit of John the Divine, author of the Revelation, had taken the pastoral mantle of every local assembly, independent of any so-called G.O.s, G.S.s, Bishops, Archbishops, Primates or the Pope. The Roman Catholic Pope actually began these scriptural anomalies of scriptural small-mindedness. As theologians of dissenting views broke away from Catholicism, they failed to do a clean cut off from the umbilical cord of the Pope’s Catholicism. To be fit for the vineyard business of the Holy Spirit, you must be a born again child of God. Jesus breathed the Spirit into them who were about to do His work on earth. You cannot work for God unless you speak in tongues. It will surprise you that many church leaders are not “men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom.” To be full of the Holy Ghost is to have the ability to speak in other tongues otherwise called the glossolalia. Of course, many have perfected the mimicry of the glossolalia, just to deceive. Not all that effuses, “mamamama hehe lakaykay sakayna” are truly born again. Selah!Read More

SCRIPTURAL SMALL-MINDEDNESS (13)

Growing up around the mid 70’s, my father’s brother, Uncle Popoola, served as the pastor of a small village church of a farmland community. He could read and conduct church services of the Baptist Church; and that qualified him to be the pastor of the church. After some years of his ecclesiastical official duties, something happened. A call to another religious duty was thrown into his laps. Those who told him of his mandatory obligation to this other call gave him no choice. He must accept it or face the ominous consequences of disregarding the religion of the god of his forefathers. Our family compound worships the masquerade idolatry (Egúngún – in Yoruba language). With tears rolling down the distraught mug of my Uncle, he believed he had no choice but to abandon the ecclesiastical office of the Church to give the rest of his life in the commitment to the office of the Alágbàáà (priest of Egúngún). Will a Reverend Chris Okotie jettison the ecclesiastical leadership of The Household of God Church and return to the priesthood of his late father’s family idolatry, and would Chris Okotie even think of going back to where he began his Christian life, The Roman Catholic Church? Okotie will never do that! Or is it to be expected that Pastor Tunde Bakare will one day decide to go back to Islam of his birth? Tunde Bakare, who has his life hidden in Jesus Christ, will never contemplate it. No true Christian will ever, for any reason, whatsoever, dump Christianity for another form of worship. If Jesus had truly called him to the Church business, my uncle would have told them, “Jesus, the Lord of glory, has appointed me as His vessel for His Kingdom; you better join me in this journey into eternal life of blissfulness with the Creator, the God of the Bible, if you want it to be well with you.” Of course, they would have thrown intimidating scare in his face, but the One which is, and which was, and which is to come would have protected my late Uncle Popoola from the malicious wiles of idolatrous enemies of the gospel, and by extension, Jesus.

One thing Christians incessantly do is the eulogy of their G.O.s’, G.S.s’, Primates' and Pastors’ ‘huge anointing’. They believe one anointing differs from others. Pastor Adeboye, for instance, is believed to carry an anointing much more powerful than so many men of God, hence, the monthly Holy Ghost Night is full of unexpected miraculous phenomenality. Inadvertently Adeboye is worshipped especially by some or many of his church members. 1John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” We (all regenerated souls of Christianity) receive this anointing to set us apart unto the thrice holy Jehovah. In the Old Testamentary order the oil, emblematic of the Holy Spirit, is poured on the head of God’s ministers, both political and ecclesiastical office holders. From the Day of Pentecost, it was the very Spirit, the Third Member of the Godhead, Who was poured in consecration of the new species of mankind, the born again Christians. Did the Holy Spirit tear Himself into tiny fragments, each piece of Him in every Christian? That cannot be, He is not in any verse of Scripture fragmented in distribution. The wholeness of His Divinity is seated in every Christian, making each living entity of Christianity a bona fide carrier of God! Amen. No Christian has a greater percentage of the anointing than another, seeing that what constitutes our anointing is the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Read More

SCRIPTURAL SMALL-MINDEDNESS (11)

When they tell you that salvation of Christianity can suffer loss, they hardly know the source of this eisegesis. The Apostolic Fathers never taught it. A hint of this unbiblical spread came from Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430) who believed “in a specific gift of perseverance given to some baptized Christians.[123] Augustine did not believe that someone can in this life know with infallible certitude that he is in fact among the elect, and that he will finally persevere. Thus, those who didn't receive the gift of perseverance can reject justification and lose baptismal regeneration. [124][125] (Apostasy in Christianity: Wikipedia).” An extensive didacticism of this belief was carried out by Jacobo Arminius, after whose death his friends came up with their famous soteriological Five Points of the Remonstrance, which included “perseverance”, meaning that “if a born again child of God does not continue to bear good spiritual fruits, he may lose the salvation.” One indubitable fact I have found out is that there is not one single verse on salvation that comes with a string of “if not, you lose it”. What many Christians do not realize is that what St. Augustine taught forms what serves as the bulwark of Catholicism, which includes baby baptism and the latria that Mariology receives in Roman Catholic Church. What influences Jacobo Arminius cannot be trusted. Loss of the soteriology is disturbingly eisegetic. These are some of the verses of eternality of salvation: Genesis 3:21; Romans 8:1; John 3:36, 6:40 & 14:23; Romans 5:8; Romans 6:2-11; Romans 10:9-13; Ephesians 2:5; Colossians 2:13; 1Peter 1:3-5 and 1John 5:11-13.

SCRIPTURAL SMALL-MINDEDNESS (10)

What they believe is that one must observe and maintain his righteousness in order not to miss heaven. The question is: are we righteous by our deeds? What does the word of God say? Only God, the sinless One, can author the soteriology. Sinless Christ Jesus must be of the Divinity to carry out the katallasso. There in Eden God created souls for Adam and his wife; souls that suffered corruption and died. But here in 2Corinthians 5:19-21, katallasso removed the sinfulness, and the mutuality garbed the born again with the eternal holiness of Christ. The old nature is dead. Man cannot maintain this divine exchange, only the Institutor of soteriology can and responsibly ensures the sustainability of the katallasso. The soteriological quiddity is incontestably of the Divinity. 1Corinthians 3:11 “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” The foundation of the Christian salvation is the eternality of Christ the Lord of glory, which is, and which was, and which is to come; the Almighty. To lose this Christian salvation is an indictment on the finished work of the Golgotha sanguineousness. The Christian who fails to do well will only suffer from not being accorded celestial elevation. 1Corinthians 3:15 “If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” Should one lose one’s Christian salvation, then the Bible is fraught with contradictions: for it says, “but he himself shall be saved.” Now when it comes to righteousness, the LORD is our righteousness as the Bible attests to in Jeremiah 23:6. Who is this LORD? He is Jesus Christ our Saviour. As long as Jesus cannot lose His Divine righteousness, we remain righteous, spiritually, before the thrice holy God the Father. Amen! Read More

If we curse them who would be born again very soon, are we not working against the love of God, Who gave His Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life? Jesus would have died in vain for the people of our imprecatory vehemence. Matthew 5:44-46 “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Pastor S.O. teaches that ‘Rhema’ is superior in definition to the ‘Logos’: believing that ‘rhema has a special biblical or theological meaning than logos. I have tried to explain this to him a couple of times, but the thing is, he seems to think that the less used or known rhema is more important in scope than logos. If a whole pastor does not know the difference between rhema and Logos, does it not show incontrovertibly that he has not studied the Bible enough to know that while the rhema is a verse or one theological thought, the logos is the totality of God’s mind: for it says in Colossians 2:3 “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” of Jesus Christ. The Logos is actually a Personage. If the Lord Jesus is the Logos, how can rhema be of higher importance? What does one expect from the Scriptural understanding of that pastor’s congregants?Read More
