A story from some one I know

In 2019, while doing humanitarian work in Yobe State, Nigeria, he attended one of the most popular Pentecostal churches in the country. He won't mention the name

That Sunday, the pastor kept announcing that a mantle had arrived from "Papa" and that we should prepare for a supernatural move of God. According to him, the mantle came directly from Papa's altar and had been specially prayed over, he was curious, so he waited patiently to see this mantle.
Then the moment came, the pastor instructed everyone to collect the mantle, rub it on their faces, pass it to the next person, and continue praying because divine favor was about to be released.
Just an ordinary white handkerchief, when it got to him, he simply collected it and passed it to the next person. He was never going to rub a handkerchief that had passed through countless hands on his face because someone claimed it carried supernatural favor.
The guy beside him was shocked. You could almost see the confusion written all over his face. In his mind he was probably wondering, "Why would someone reject an opportunity for divine favor?"

Now my question is how did grown adults become convinced that rubbing a handkerchief on their faces would attract God's favor? Do these people know where these handkerchiefs came from? Do they know who handled them? Do they know what was done over them?

And let's not even talk about the hygiene implications of hundreds of people rubbing the same piece of cloth on their faces.

The truth is that much of what passes for Christianity in some churches today has very little to do with Christ. It looks less like New Testament Christianity and more like a religious cult built around objects, personalities, and rituals.

Modern church culture keeps inventing new objects for people to trust in, oil, mantles, stickers, bracelets, photographs, and handkerchiefs.

And the saddest part is that many members never stop to ask questions. They simply accept whatever they are told because questioning has been equated with rebellion and critical thinking has been labeled a lack of faith, at what point did faith in Christ become faith in objects? Like our spiritual Father( Pastor Bright Enogoriu) made us understand about how the bible was being programmed for us to never be questioned but followed by the authors of translation, early teachers of the bible

At what point did church members become so conditioned that they would defend practices they cannot explain from Scripture? Call it spirituality if you like, I call it religious conditioning, religious madness, religious foolishness

Because if a group can convince people that rubbing a communal handkerchief on their faces will release divine favor, then they need to have an honest conversation about whether they are practicing Christianity or participating in religious initiation ceremonies. Not everything done in church is Christian practice and not every spiritual practice points people to Christ.
Every exercises done in the old testament were all pointing to Christ and they are now fulfilled in Christ.
The focus now is on the finished work of Christ

‎THE GOSPEL TRUTH

‎Text: Matthew 6:33
‎But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (KJV)

‎Many believers have interpreted this verse to mean that if they pray enough, fast enough, attend church regularly, or engage in religious activities, God will reward them with material blessings.

However, a careful study of the context reveals that Jesus was not teaching a formula for obtaining prosperity.

‎In Matthew 6:25-32, Jesus addressed the worries of life—what to eat, what to drink, and what to wear.

He pointed out that unbelievers ("the Gentiles") anxiously pursue these things because they do not know their Heavenly Father.

‎Then Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness."

‎The Kingdom of God is God's reign and rule manifested in Christ.

It is not a physical location but the salvation and life that God offers through Jesus Christ.

The righteousness mentioned here is not self-righteousness or human effort; it is God's righteousness revealed in Christ.

‎Romans 3:22 says:
‎Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.

‎Therefore, to seek the Kingdom and His righteousness is to embrace God's provision in Christ, to place your trust in the Gospel, and to focus on God's redemptive purpose rather than being consumed by the anxieties of life.

‎Jesus was teaching that when a person receives and prioritizes God's Kingdom revealed in Christ, he no longer has to live in fear and anxiety over material needs.

The Father who feeds the birds and clothes the lilies is committed to caring for His children.

‎The phrase "all these things shall be added unto you" refers specifically to the necessities of life mentioned in the preceding verses—food, drink, and clothing.

It is an assurance of God's care, not a promise of luxury or a reward for religious performance.

‎As believers, our focus should not be on chasing things.

Our focus should be Christ and His Kingdom.

When Christ becomes our priority, we rest in the Father's love and provision.

‎Key Scriptures
‎Matthew 6:25-33
‎Romans 3:21-22
‎Romans 14:17
‎Colossians 1:13
‎Philippians 4:19
‎Luke 12:29-32

‎"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God" is not a command to pursue material blessings through religious activities.

It is a call to embrace God's Kingdom revealed in Christ and to trust in His righteousness.

When Christ is your focus, anxiety gives way to faith, and you can confidently rest in the Father's provision, knowing that He cares for every need of your life.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH

One of the most common statements heard in many religious gatherings is, "Destiny changer, come and change my destiny today."

While this may sound spiritual and emotional, it raises an important biblical question:

Did God create a destiny for you that needs to be changed?

The Scriptures reveal that God's purpose for mankind is fulfilled in Christ Jesus.

A believer's identity, purpose, and future are not determined by the words of a prophet, a prayer contractor, or a special service, but by what Christ has accomplished through His death, burial, and resurrection.

The Bible teaches that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).

It does not say God is waiting to change our destiny; rather, He has already given us a new life and a new identity in Christ.

The moment a person believes the Gospel, he becomes a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Many people run from one meeting to another seeking a "destiny changer" because they have been made to believe that their lives are controlled by unseen forces that must be broken by a special anointing.

However, the Gospel teaches that Christ has already delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into His kingdom (Colossians 1:13).

The believer's focus should not be on finding someone to change his destiny but on growing in the knowledge of who he is in Christ.

Transformation comes through the renewal of the mind by God's Word, not through endless destiny-changing prayers (Romans 12:2).

Jesus did not come to change destinies; He came to give life, redemption, and reconciliation with God.

In Christ, you have received a new life, a new nature, and a glorious inheritance.

Therefore, instead of crying, "Destiny changer, come and change my destiny," let us proclaim the truth of the Gospel: "In Christ, I have been made new, blessed, accepted, and complete."

The answer is not a destiny changer. The answer is Christ Himself.

Our Daddy ( Pastor Bright Enogoriu) used to tell us.
✨ THE PEACE OF GOD (Philippians 4:7)
“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
1. Peace is not a life without problems
Jesus clearly said in John 16:33 that in this world, trouble will come.
Biblical peace does not remove problems from your life. Instead, it keeps your heart steady inside the problem.
So peace is not when everything is fine outside. It is when you are still standing strong inside even when things are not fine.
2. Peace is deeper than emotions
Many people think peace is when they “feel calm” or “feel okay.”
God’s peace is not controlled by feelings. Feelings change quickly, but peace in Christ is deeper than feelings.
So even when your emotions are shaking, your spirit can still be steady because peace is spiritual, not emotional.
3. Peace is connected to Christ living in you
Ephesians 2:14 says: “Christ Himself is our peace.”
Peace is not something you struggle to produce. It is someone you carry—Jesus Christ.
So you are not trying to “find peace” outside. You are operating from the peace already inside you through Christ.
4. Peace is an inner strength, not outer comfort
Colossians 1:27 says: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Your stability does not depend on money, support from people, or good situations.
Even if those things fail, your inner life is still held together because Christ lives inside you.
So peace is not built on what is around you, but on who is inside you.
5. Peace guards your heart and mind like a soldier
Philippians 4:7 says the peace of God will “keep” your heart and mind.
The word “keep” means to guard like soldiers protecting a city.
So God’s peace is like a protector that stands at the gate of your thoughts and emotions. It stops fear, panic, and anxiety from taking full control of your mind. That is what the peace of Christ inside you does
6. Peace does not mean you never feel pain
Even strong believers still cry, feel pressure, and face fear at times.
Peace does not remove pain. It stops pain from destroying you.
So you may feel weak in a moment, but you are not defeated inside.
There is always a deeper strength holding you together.
7. Peace is confidence in Christ’s victory
Jesus said: “I have overcome the world.”
Your peace is not based on your ability to win. It is based on Christ’s finished victory.
So even when your situation is not solved yet, your outcome in Christ is already secured.
You are not fighting for victory—you are walking in victory.
✨ FINAL UNDERSTANDING
Biblical peace is not a quiet life.
It is a strong heart, steady mind, and calm spirit in the middle of pressure, because Christ lives inside you.
So even in hard times, the believer can still say:
👉 “I may not understand everything happening, but I will not break, because Christ is in me, and He is my peace.”

‎ RELIGION KEEPS MAKING BELIEVERS LOOK FOR WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE
‎
‎ Some Christians are still trying to “get close to Jesus”—
‎ while Christ already lives in them.
‎
‎ Colossians 1:27
‎“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
‎Not Christ is far from you. Not Christ hiding from you.
‎IN YOU.
‎ Yet religion keeps teaching believers to chase God like He disappeared.
‎
‎ Some are praying: “Lord, please be with me…”
‎ Meanwhile Jesus said:
‎ “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
‎
‎ So who taught believers that God comes and goes?
‎
‎ Religion makes God look distant.
The gospel reveals union.
‎
‎1 Corinthians 6:17
‎“He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”
‎ONE.
‎Not separate. Not disconnected.
‎
‎ and here is another big one
‎ Many Christians are struggling to “be like Jesus”—
‎
‎ while scripture already says:
‎ 1 John 4:17
‎“As He is, so are we in this world.”
‎ Not after death.
‎ IN THIS WORLD.
‎
‎ Religion says: “One day you may become like Him.”
‎ The gospel says: You already share His life.”
‎
‎ This is why sound teaching matters like our spiritual Father( pastor Bright Enogoriu) gives to us

‎ A poor understanding of scripture…
‎ Will make God look far from people.
‎ They keep believers: sin-conscious
‎ fear-driven
‎ begging for acceptance
‎ chasing what Christ already finished
‎
‎ 2 Timothy 2:15
‎“Study to show yourself approved…”
‎ Because when scripture is wrongly handled, believers remain in bo***ge.
‎
‎ the gospel is the power of God unto salvation
‎ Not motivational speeches. Not religious fear.
‎ The gospel reveals: who Christ is
‎ what He finished
‎ who the believer has become in Him
‎
‎ Romans 1:16
‎“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation…”
‎
‎ FINAL TRUTH:
‎ The believer is not trying to bring God near.
‎ God already came near Christ.
‎ And the day believers truly understand union with Christ—
‎ religious striving will finally die.

“CHRIST FULFILLED THE ALTAR SYSTEM — OUR ACCESS TO GOD IS NOW THROUGH HIM”

A fellow believer asked me: “As a New Testament believer, should we still build altars? Especially with money?”

To answer this properly, we must understand what the altar represented under the Old Covenant.

Because today, many people hear the word “altar” and immediately think about:

money,

prophetic transactions,

seed sowing,

buying access to God,

or spiritual exchanges.

But biblically, the altar was far deeper than that.

Under the Old Covenant, the altar was part of the tabernacle and temple system. It was connected to:

sacrifices,

priesthood,

worship,

atonement,

and covenant relationship with God.

The altar was the place where sacrifices were presented before God.

There were different altars:

The brazen altar (altar of burnt offering) This was where sacrifices were continually offered.

📖 Leviticus 1:9

Under the Law:

sacrifices continued,

blood continued flowing,

and sin remembrance continued.

The altar constantly reminded Israel that sin had not yet been fully removed.

The altar of incense

📖 Exodus 30:7–8

This represented:

prayer,

worship,

and continual approach to God.

The altar system represented several things:

approach to God,

sacrifice,

mediation,

and covenant interaction.

Under the Law, ordinary people did not freely approach God. The priest stood between God and man.

But all these things were shadows pointing to Christ.

📖 Hebrews 10:1 “The law having a shadow of good things to come…”

The altar, the sacrifices, and the priesthood were prophetic pictures of Jesus.

Under the Old Covenant: the priest brought sacrifices repeatedly.

But under the New Covenant: Jesus became both the High Priest and the sacrifice.

📖 Hebrews 10:12 “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God.”

Notice the difference: Old Covenant priests stood daily because the work was never finished.

Jesus sat down because redemption was completed.

The cross fulfilled what the altar system pointed toward.

When Jesus died:

the veil tore,

access opened,

and the sacrificial system was fulfilled.

📖 Matthew 27:51 “The veil of the temple was rent in two…”

Access to God is now through Christ.

📖 Hebrews 4:16 “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace…”

Under the New Covenant: believers themselves are now called God’s temple because the Holy Spirit dwells within them.

📖 1 Corinthians 3:16 “Ye are the temple of God…”

This means our relationship with God is no longer dependent on temple rituals or earthly priesthood systems.

But balance is important.

This does NOT mean:

believers should reject gathering together,

or that giving and generosity are unbiblical.

The New Testament still teaches:

worship,

generosity,

supporting ministry,

helping the poor,

and offering ourselves fully to God.

📖 Romans 12:1 “Present your bodies a living sacrifice…”

📖 Hebrews 13:15 “Let us offer the sacrifice of praise…”

📖 Philippians 4:18 Giving is described as: “a sacrifice acceptable, well pleasing to God.”

So spiritual sacrifice language still exists under grace — but not in the Old Covenant sense of repeated atonement sacrifices.

Now, concerning “money altars” and transactional teachings:

There is no apostolic teaching in the New Testament that believers must:

buy access to God,

pay for miracles,

sow money to unlock God’s love,

or give financially to force divine favor.

Those teachings often come from:

misunderstanding Old Testament shadows,

manipulation,

greed,

and religious abuse.

📖 1 Timothy 2:5 “There is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

Christ is now our access.

FINAL TRUTH:

Under the Old Covenant: men approached God through temple systems, priests, and sacrifices.

Under the New Covenant: we approach God directly through Christ by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus fulfilled the altar system completely.

And now believers offer:

worship,

obedience,

generosity,

prayer,

and their lives unto God as living sacrifices through Christ.

LAW VS GRACE — GOD REPLACED THE COVENANT SYSTEM THROUGH CHRIST
Let’s deal with this clearly and scripturally:
The Law and Grace are distinct covenants. They are not the same administration. The Old Covenant was fulfilled and replaced by the New Covenant established through Christ.
John 1:17
“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
Notice the contrast:
Law was given through Moses
Grace and truth came through Christ
The Law was:
External
Written on stone
Dependent on human obedience
Grace is:
Internal
Revealed through Christ
Empowered by the Holy Spirit
Based on Christ’s finished work
Hebrews 8:7
“For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.”
This does not mean God’s Law was evil.
Romans 7:12
“The law is holy…”
The issue was that the Law could reveal sin but could not transform the human heart.
Hebrews 8:13
“In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old…”
The Old Covenant system became obsolete because Christ fulfilled it.
Matthew 5:17
“I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.”
Why Was the Law Given?
Romans 3:20
“By the law is the knowledge of sin.”
The Law was given:
To reveal sin
To expose human inability
To point mankind toward Christ
But the Law could not give spiritual life.
What Grace Accomplishes
Romans 8:3
“What the law could not do… God did…”
Through Christ and the Holy Spirit:
Righteousness is imparted
Hearts are transformed
Relationship with God is restored
The Missing Key: The Holy Spirit
The New Covenant is not merely the removal of Law. It is the indwelling life of the Spirit.
Ezekiel 36:26–27
“I will put my Spirit within you…”
Romans 8:4
“…that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk… after the Spirit.”
The Law commanded righteousness externally. The Holy Spirit now produces righteousness internally.
The Danger Today
Many people either:
Return to legalism
OR
Misuse grace as permission for sin
Both are errors.
The Correct Balance
Law says:
“Do this to become righteous.”
Grace says:
“Christ has finished the work.”
But true grace does not produce careless living.
Titus 2:11–12
“The grace of God… teaching us to deny ungodliness…”
Grace does not remove holiness. Grace empowers holiness through the Holy Spirit.
IN CONCLUSION
The Old Covenant was fulfilled in Christ
Believers are not justified by the Law
Salvation comes through grace by faith
The Holy Spirit now leads and transforms believers internally
FINAL WORD
Do not go back to a system Christ fulfilled. But also do not turn grace into spiritual carelessness.
Romans 6:1–2
“Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid.”
One-Line Truth
The Law revealed what righteousness looked like;
Grace through the Holy Spirit now produces that righteousness in the believer.

LAW VS GRACE — GOD REPLACED THE SYSTEM, NOT IMPROVED IT” Let’s deal with this clearly and scripturally: The Law and Grace are not the same They are not meant to be mixed One was replaced by the other In John 1:17: “The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ”. Did you see the contrast? Law — given Grace — came Law — through a servant (Moses) Grace — through the Son (Jesus) It means The Law was: external written on stone, based on human performance Grace is: internal revealed in Christ based on His finished work In Hebrews 8:7: “If the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no place for a second” This is strong God found fault with the first Not because God failed— but because the system could not produce righteousness in man In Hebrews 8:13: “He has made the first obsolete…” Obsolete means outdated no longer in force replaced Let that sink God did not upgrade the Law, God did not adjust the Law, God replaced it Why was the law given? Not to save— Romans 3:20:“By the law is the knowledge of sin” The law purpose is; to expose sin to show man his inability, to point to the need for Christ But Grace does what law could not do In Romans 8:3:“What the law could not do… God did…” Grace accomplishes righteousness transformation relationship with God Big problem today Many people are: mixing Law and Grace combining performance with faith preaching Moses and Jesus together That create confusion Because: Law says: Do to become Grace says: Receive because it is done Clear difference Law: “Thou shall…” “Thou shall not…” Grace: “It is finished” IN CONCLUSION The Law came through Moses Grace and truth came through Christ The first covenant was replaced The second covenant is superior You cannot mix both FINAL WORD Stop living under what God has replaced. You are not under Law You are under Grace. NOTE; Grace isn't a licence f

[09/01, 11:19] Joel: If you are going to a church where you are not taught the word of God, you are going to that church at your own risk. You don’t need prophecy, you need teaching. Principle is more powerful than principality. Science makes aircraft witchcraft makes nothing!
[09/01, 11:22] Joel: Deliverance is not casting out of devils, even though we cast out demons in deliverance. Deliverance is renewing your mind with the mind of Christ this is where the devil and his demons can access or possess your mind.
