About CEC

It's a church ministry founded by Reverend Ian in Mzuzu City,Malawi with a vision of bringing eternal verities to all men as the will of God in christ Jesus and emphasizing so much on BALANCE in the presentation of the gospel of Christ!

BALANCED teachers of the Word do not usually lean to EXTREMES by identifying strictly with Calvinism ,Arminianism or by reducing salvation to slogans such as:
“Once saved always saved”
OR
“Once saved is not always saved.”
Instead, they seek to present the full balance of Scripture.The doctrine of salvation must be handled carefully, faithfully and biblically ( not taken to unhealthy extremes that create confusion, fear, carelessness or spiritual shipwreck)
A balanced biblical summary of assurance of salvation is this:
Salvation is by grace through faith, kept by God as "eternal security" and evidenced by our "continuing or abiding" in Christ as our "responsibility".

30/03/2025

This morning,this word kept ringing in the Spirit:

AWAKE AWAKE FROM THY SLUMBER!

The Holyspirit then said;

MY GENERATION IS SLEEPING...

THERE IS AN ABNORMALITY IN MY HOUSE...

Then the Holyspirit took me to 3 verses in the bible:

Ecclesiastes 10:7 KJV
I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

I then wondered why SERVANTS are the ones riding on horses and PRINCES are walking(instead of princes to be riding and servants to be walking)

The Holyspirit said ;thats the abnormality!

MY PEOPLE ARE SLEEPING AND THE ENEMY IS REIGNING OVER THEIR LIVES!

He then showed me another verse;

1 Thessalonians 5:6 KJV
Therefore let us "not sleep, as do others"; but let us watch and be sober.

Then lastly ,He took me to ;

1 Corinthians 15:34 KJV
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not "the knowledge of God": I speak this to your shame.

Then i remembered the BALANCE brought by David Agabus during his ministration that there are two kinds of carnal believers:

1.Those that know the truth but deliberately and intentionally decided not to obey the ministry of the word of God and the holyspirit

2.And those that are living in ignorance of God's word

THE HOLYSPIRIT LASTLY SAID;IAM AFTER CARNAL BELIEVERS ,THE DISOBEDIENT AND IGNORANT ONES TO AWAKE THEM SO THAT THEY REPENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTH(2 Timothy 2:25)

NEVER MAKE PERSONAL CHOICES, SACRIFICES AND CONSECRATIONS A UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE(DOCTRINE)

Sometimes because of "the pain" that we go through as a result of personal choices,sacrifices, convictions and consecrations that we deliberately and willingly give ourselves to,we may be tempted to FORCE it on others or preach AGAINST it .

If it's a personal decision,no one forced it on you.If it's according to the bible,it becomes a consecration for all believers.

Apostle Paul was CAREFUL with personal choices and commandments or ordinations from the Lord.
He always made a clarification and distinction between the two.His personal choices were not meant for all but that the preaching of the gospel be not hindered so he forfeited certain rights and privileges.

1 Corinthians 9:18(NIV)
What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:18(NLT)
What then is my pay? It is the opportunity to preach the Good News without charging anyone. That’s why I never demand my rights when I preach the Good News.

Paul made such a decision not to charge or exercise full use of his rights when preaching the gospel.While this is important ,he never made it as an "universal rule" to all ministers of the gospel not to be entitled to material support.

Believers must understand that they have a responsibility of supporting their pastors financially.It is lawful to do.

1 Corinthians 9:14 (NIV)
In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.

1 Corinthians 9:14 NLT
In the same way, the Lord ordered that those who preach the Good News should be supported by those who benefit from it.

We must also understand that there are things that were commanded by the Lord.Such things form our doctrine.But those coming from our personal choices and preferences for the sake of the gospel must not be forced on others.I always say,the bible gives us a general guidance but the Holyspirit gives us a specific guidance.

In a bid to help you,the Holyspirit may tell you not to watch movies ,football or play games again.These are things that may be hindrances and stumbling blocks to spiritual growth.But that you were instructed personally,never make it a doctrine and preach against it.If others are oky with football,movies and fashion,leave them alone. Don't preach against it because you are not enjoying the privilege.The individual dealings with the holyspirit are not the same.

So,as a pastor,if in your church you don't collect tithes,stop fighting those who collect tithes,if you don't baptise stop preaching against baptism.If you don't serve holy communion,stop preaching against the service of it.

Doctrine has a yardstick,what must become an universal principle(doctrine)is that which is seen in the scriptures (old testament),taught by Jesus Christ, and emphasized by the early Apostles.This is what must be "forced" on all believers

Hope this blessed you!

THE EASIEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND
"THE GOSPEL OF BALANCE"

Every finished work of Jesus Christ has it's corresponding current work in the believer by the Spirit.

The finished work is not our work,it is 100% the work of Jesus christ while the current work is the believer's responsibility in the strength of the Holyspirit.

FOR EXAMPLE:
1.Salvation of our Spirit ...This is a finished work of Jesus christ
*Salvation of our souls(Renewal of the mind)...This is a current work of the believer by the Spirit

2.Purchase of our bodies....This is a finished work of Jesus christ
*Presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice ....This is a current work of the believer by the Spirit.

3.Forgiveness of sins before God....This is a finished work of Jesus Christ
*Repentance from sin for conscience sake and Forgiveness of sins towards men....This is a current work of the believer by the Spirit

4.Sanctification ....This is a finished work of Jesus christ
*Consecration.....This is a current work of the believer by the Spirit

5.Ministry Gifts(Gifts of the Spirit )...This is a finished work of Jesus christ
*Fruit of the Spirit .....This is a current work of the believer by the Spirit

6.Indwelling of the Spirit...This is a finished work of Jesus christ
*Infilling of the Spirit ..This is a current of the believer by the Spirit.

7.Reconciliation....This is a finished work of Jesus christ
* Evangelism and soul winning...This is a current work of the believer by the Spirit

If believers approach the bible in this way,they will not be LAZY and PASSIVE.They will know their rights and responsibilities.

1.IS REPENTANCE FOR NON BELEIVERS OR BELIEVERS?

2.SHOULD A CHRISTIAN CONFESS SINS?

3.IS THERE SUCH A THING AS SINS OF COMMISSION AND SINS OF OMISSION ?

Long post but worthy reading ......

Today,I would like us to answer the questions above as quickly as possible to establish you in the faith so that you are not tossed to and fro carried about by every wind of doctrine.

QUESTION
1.Is repentance for non believers or believers?

ANSWER
Firstly,repentance means a change of mind ,heart and direction(It is not only the change of mind as taught by some unbalanced teachers of the word )

Repentance is complete when one changes direction also.

A man can't repent and continues in whatever he was doing.That's not true REPENTANCE

Therefore,repentance is for ALL(believers and non believer) as ALL can change their mind,heart and direction.

Some teachers say a non believer doesn't have the wherewithal to repent arguing that he has not experienced the goodness of God.They say,it is only the goodness of God that leads men to repentance.

Well,that's true but not balanced.The holyghost has a convicting ministry to non believers.When the holyghost convicts them of their sins,the end result is repentance .Don't see the convicting ministry of the Holyspirit as something negative.Conviction of the Holyspirit is showing you that you are living in sin and that you shall be judged for it(John 16:8)

Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

So,the context of repentance differs as the two are not the same.

TO NON BELIEVERS
Repentance is from ;
1.Dead works (works of the law)
2.Repentance from Sin
.......It brings salvation

TO BELIEVERS
Repentance is from ;
1.Dead works (Works of the law,works of the flesh)
2.Repentance from acts of sin or sinning
......REPENTANCE after salvation brings about or makes room for HOLY LIVING

2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.


2.SHOULD A CHRISTIAN CONFESS SINS???

Yes,a Christian can confess if he has sinned.

Most "grace advocates" preach against confession of sins among believers.They say when we encourage believers to confess sins, they will be sin-conscious but rather they must confess righteousness or Jesus Christ who is our sin bearer.

Well,that's not a balanced teaching.Its just a man-made doctrine but the bible doesn't say so rather it admonishes believers to do so.

Remember,we are in a relationship with the Holyspirit.And the Holyspirit is a person .He has feelings and emotions (We can either gladden or sadden Him)

Sin grieves the Holyspirit.A believer who is living in sin(practising sin) grieves the Holyspirit(Ephes 4:30).A wise believer will confess and repent from any form of sin or addiction.That's humility!

Remember,it is not confession of sins among believers that brings about forgiveness from God.We are forgiven already in Christ Jesus (Colosians 2:13, Ephesians 4:32)
........But still we are to CONFESS sins,we don't have to pretend or cover any form of sin in our lives

The writer of Proverbs says,we shall not prosper if we cover sins.

Proverbs 28:13-17 KJV
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. Happy is the man that feareth alway: But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

TWO KINDS OF CONFESSION

Confession must always be seen in 2 lights ;

1.Confession of sin

2.Confession of Righteousness (Jesus Christ)

The believer can do both......

Confession of sin happens IF a believer sin in his walk of faith.

Remember,it is not confession that brings forgiveness of sins.Forgiveness of sin is blood-based( achieved already in Christ)

Someone said, if confession of sin doesn't bring forgiveness of sins then it is useless and irrelevant.

Well,though confession of sin doesn't bring forgiveness of sins ,it is still relevant .It helps US as believers and it is done for two reasons;

1.For conscience sake
*Only bastards and fools will not apologise for the sin they committed and pretend as if everything is fine

2.To depart from that sin
*Without confession,you will feel comfortable in that sin and make a practice of sin.And God doesn't want continuity in sin

QUESTION 3

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS SINS OF COMMISSION AND SINS OF OMISSION ?

ANSWER
YES,these are two main categories of sin.

Sins of commission are sins that are committed deliberately and intentionally.They are Sins that are remembered that you committed them as they considered "big sins".

Examples;
Adam and Eve partaking of the forbidden tree
Stealing
fornication
murder

Where as sins of omission are sins committed without fully knowing or realizing that they are wrong.These are also called "descent sins".
.......Whatsoever is not of faith is sin"(Romans 14:23)

Examples ;
Not going to church
Not praying
Not fasting when commanded
Failure to give other kinds of giving in church like honour offering ,seeds ,tithes

But the goodnews is that ALL these sins(commission and ommission) are already forgiven in Christ.But it's important to repent from them for conscience sake and strengthening your relationship with the holyghost.

Hope this blessed you

Any contrary opinion ?
