Know Your God

Anchor Scripture: "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine." - John 10:14

Scripture References: John 10: 1 - 18; Acts 17: 16 - 34

Admonition
Greetings from the Throne of Grace.

It was supposed to be a thing of great joy that today there are many more people in the church that it used to be in the past. However, our conducts call for more reflections than celebrations for we are more like the Athenians of the Apostle Paul's days who set up an altar to an UNKNOWN GOD.

Howbeit that those Athenians had images of worship as a sign of their idolatry, we today have set up, albeit in our hearts,  human images that we worship, either knowingly or unknowingly.  Hence,  we wittingly or unwittingly serve the UNKNOWN GOD.

That is the reason that when some church leaders die, many of their followers become disillusioned and backslide (backslide from the church because they never knew the true God) because the person they believed have died; their own Jesus Christ is dead and wouldn't be coming back.

It is when things like that happened in a congregation that one will know those who truly know the God they serve and those who don't.  That is why, Jesus Christ, in our anchor Scripture this morning is telling us that He knows that are His and they too in turn,  know Him.

As we round off this morning, the Holy Spirit says we need not be like those Athenians who were serving the UNKNOWN GOD. You can know God yourself; He is not hidden from us.

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

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 of...

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Stop Impersonating

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: “ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness .” – Romans 1: 18 Scripture References: Matthew 7: 21 - 23; John 1: 12 – 13, 3: 1 - 7; Acts 19: 1 – 6, 11 – 20; Romans 1: 18 – 32; 2 Corinthians 13: 4 - 10 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Our God is good and gracious towards us in that He has hidden nothing about Himself from us.

The Holy Spirit mentioned on Wednesday that many Christians live on the assumption that they are born-ag...

BEWARE OF BALAAM'S DOCTRINE

Anchor Scripture: “. . . Verily when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.” – 1 Corinthians 9: 18 Scripture References: Numbers 22: 1 – 7; 1 Corinthians 9: 1 –27; Matthew 10: 7 - 8 The Balaam’s doctrine is it that encourages children of God to do the work of God for carnal rewards. And the children of God caught up in the web of Balaam’s doctrine are those who preach the Gospel of Christ for one reward or the other. Such “servants of God” use a lot of scriptures to spiritualize and legalize their collections of material and carnal rewards from the congregation. However, we thank God for servants of God like Apostle Paul, who really followed the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in that he refused to abuse the authority he had over his congregations by which he could have become rich and wealthy as many of our ministers today, for Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 10: 7 - 8 thus: “ And as ye go, pre...
