Don’t Be Willingly Ignorant


Anchor Scripture: “For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: .” – 2 Peter 3: 5

Scripture References: Joshua 1: 8 – 9; John 8: 31 – 38; 2 Peter 3: 1 – 13;

Admonition
Greetings from the Throne of Grace!

Of the many scourges in the world today, the one I have found to be the deadliest is that of willful ignorance; I will explain.

It is safer, or so I think, to be oblivion of the dangers attached to something and got involved in and with it than to be fully aware of these dangers, and yet, go ahead and get involved in and with them. The latter is very rampant today in Christianity in that most Christians know what the Word of God says, but they will willfully be doing the opposite that their false teachers and preachers are telling them, just because it suits their flesh.

You are willfully ignorant when you know the right things to do, but you refused to do them. The teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ in John 8: 32 is that “you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”

Willful ignorance is the reason many Christians are still suffering today because they decided to put themselves under unnecessary bondage of religion, thereby making themselves slave of religion, when the infallible Word of God has already declared that they are free. The truth is that most Christians worship man, not God, all in the name of doctrines when the Holy Spirit, through Apostle Paul clearly warned in 1 Corinthians 3 that doctrinal Christianity is carnal.

Somebody asked me sometimes ago what our doctrines in the Bible-way Gospel Ministries are. I simply replied, “Jesus Christ.” He asked me what I meant by that and I replied that what Jesus Christ did is what we believe and will do, and whatever He didn’t do can’t be found with us.

Brethren, willful ignorance is self-destructive. But the good news is that you could break free from it by getting accustomed to the Word of God. God tells us in Joshua 1: 8 that we must, day and night, continually meditate in the Word to break free from willful ignorance. Jesus Christ, too, warned us against false teachers. Both Apostles Peter and Paul warned us also of scoffers who will creep in among us. With all these, the fault will be yours, if you still belong to the group of Christians I call “my Pastor said, G.O said, papa said, my prophet said, our founder said . . . .”

As we round off today, FINISHING STRONG in and with God requires exercising your freedom as a child of God by breaking free from the shackles of religion which God calls “wisdom and philosophies of men.”

Till tomorrow when we shall meet again on this beautiful journey of FINISHING STRONG together, keep keeping on in Him!

Hold On To Your Faith

Anchor Scripture: “ Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:” – Job 13: 15a Scripture References: Job 23: 8 – 12 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Another word for faith is TRUST. So, this morning, God is calling us to trust Him whatever our situations might be. The natural man will instinctually try as hard as possible to avoid pains and discomforts. However, the book of Job 5: 7 speaks a truth that is a common heritage of all humans. It says, “ Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” And Job 14: 1 corroborates this truth, saying,  “ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” These are truth which no man has been able to disprove. Resting on these Scriptures, I do tell people during Bible classes that there is no man without his own trouble, no matter how little . And this is true irrespective of whom you are, what you have and or where you were born; we all have our own measures of troubles. The pro

UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD: Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

Anchor Scripture: Isaiah 55:8   For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”   Focus Scripture: “ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” – Proverbs 3: 5 Scripture Reference: Numbers 14: 39 - 45 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit made known to us that what is called the Will of God is God’s plan or Wish for us as His children, and that these cannot be changed by anyone or anything if we stick with Him. Sometimes, we tend to believe in ourselves because of some things such as talents, ability, resources, knowledge and or wisdom. Because of these things and many more, we take decisions without honouring God in our thoughts. At the end, God makes a mess of whatever venture we embarked on. Such was the Israelites in Numbers 14: 39 - 45. As said yesterday, just as each man has a thought or will for themselves, so is God for every man.

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Walk in the Spirit

Anchor Scripture: Romans 8: 1 “ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”  Focus Scripture: “ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ” –Galatians 5: 16 Scripture References: John 3: 1 – 8, 16 - 19; Romans 1: 18 – 32, 1 – 14; Galatians 5: 16 – 26; 1 John 2: 15 - 17 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit of God admonished us to watch the companies we keep because our association with them could make us do things that are contrary to the Kingdom’s choice. And an example was given of Jehoshaphat. May God help us in Jesus name, amen. Today, we are being told to “Walk in the Spirit”. The Holy Spirit was given to us as Guardian to help and keep us in and on the way to the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit is a teacher, meant to teach us right from wrong and He helps us in making the right choices. Most often,
