Daddy's Message on the 18th of May 2025 Titled: God without Religion: The Spirit of Religion.
Christianity is not a religion. Jesus Christ did not die and rise from the dead to give us religion. Christianity is the pulsating Life of God at work in man. Just as Apostle Paul said in Galatians 2:20 that Christ is the One living in us. It is not a bunch of rules and regulations.
Religion means to return to bo***ge. Religion is very bad. It is a very bad spirit. Religion is the main reason why many are going to church but have rejected Christ ( they don't know Jesus Christ). It has a form of christian lifestyle but when it sees the power of God at work, it fights it.
Religion is rooted in men's wisdom, logic, philosophy, ideas and men's prejudices. Religion is proud and attempts to dethrone God out of the equation and replace Him with the god of self( self effort, self righteousness, self gratification).
Romans 10:3-4
Religion attempts to get right standing with God based on what they do.
Religion was the main reason Jesus was killed ; Religion kills.
Religion keeps people in sin consciousness, mediocrity and gives people a sense of unworthiness. They are never satisfied in what Jesus has done: having a sense of inadequacy.
The truth is that sin is not the major concept and should not be a major message in the midst of sons because Jesus Christ has died. Therefore the Righteousness of God should be the major concept/message preached amongst sons.
Jesus Christ has paid the price and we are free from sin Romans 6:18 The child of God is no longer a servant of sin but of Righteousness. Your body is the temple of God but your mind is going through transformation. You are righteous in Christ and must be righteousness conscious.
God has made us worthy and we were created in holiness. That is who we are. We are not inferior.
Romans 8:3 Sin has been condemned. The law required men to be righteous but the law could mot make men righteous.
Religion is always saying Jesus plus something( self efforts)
Religion is rooted in hypocrisy, false humilty. Matthew 23:1-15, 25-28
What is more important is what is happening inside. Religion focuses on externalities( external worship)
Religion walks by sight, focusing on what we eat, drink, days, dress...)
Religious people are zealous but not matched with knowledge.
Religious people focus on water baptism, anointing oil...
Religious people love dressing.
What makes us righteous is our belief in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 2:28-29 You can not know a child of God after the flesh. Circumcision is that of the heart in the Spirit.
Philippians 3:3 We worship God in the Spirit.
Colossians 2:20
The Christian/believer is greater than what they eat, drink or wear..
Religion has a show of wisdom but it is corrupt because it does not submit to God.
The child of God is humble because God is the One Who has done everything.
Where we are and what we have is by the Grace of God therefore we can not judge others. We make our boast in Christ.
