CHECK YOURSELF!!!
Are you created by God???
Do you believe that God sent his only son???
Do you believe that His son died in this world???
Do you believe that his death was for you and me???
Do you believe that his death was to redeem us to his father???
Do you believe he resurrected on the third day???
Do you believe that his resurrection was to draw salvation plan for mankind???

If you don't know, I'm telling you all this now...
Christ has drawn salvation plan for mankind to be reconciled back to God...
1. Have faith in God
2. Repent of your sins
3. Confess Jesus Christ
4. Get baptized for the remission of sins

With Baptism, you get contact with the forgiving blood of Christ.
With Baptism, You become a new creature.
With Baptism, You are added to the body of Christ.
With Baptism, You are privileged to worship God in spirit and in truth.

Without Baptism, You are ready for eternal damnation and rejection.

Make up your mind today and please God alone...

One does not determine truth by what he feels in his heart. The Scriptures are an objective source of truth.

Proverbs 28:26

He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, But whoever walks wisely will be delivered.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him,And He shall direct your paths.

Jeremiah 17:9

The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

John 8:31-32

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

2 Timothy 3:16-17

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

We are not in agreement with any violence nor anything that is ungodly and unscriptural. However, we believe in driving out the forces of evil, false teachings, pagans, nor paganism.

Now hear this...

Christmas and santa clause IS NOT in the Bible! Christmas comes from paganism or false traditions of mankind. Santa clause is a human person dressed up in red and white costumes with long white beards to trick or deceive children of that which is not true. If you'd turn the word 'santa' around you would end up getting the word 'satan'. Santa is satanism, a deceiver, the father of lies, John 8:44.

Christmas does not have ANYTHING to do with Jesus Christ.
Christmas and December 25th IS NOT Christ birthday. Let us go back to the Bible and follow what God has placed therin for our lives. Let us please God and not ourselves. Please read Deuteronomy 29:29 with me..."The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belonged unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law"

NOW, LET'S READ JEREMIAH 10:2-4; it reads... "Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They decorate it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

📍 *TOPIC: ARE YOU IN CHRIST?*

*Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17*

One is not in Christ by doing the following:
1. Going to church
2. Being born into a Christian family
3. By doing charitable deeds
4. By merely believing in Christ
5. By bearing bible names.

But one comes into relationship with Christ by doing the following:
1. Hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17)

2. Believing the word of God (John 8:24)

3. Repenting of one's sins (Luke 14:3-5)

4. Confessing the lordship of Christ (Matthew 10:32-33)

5. Baptized for the remission of sins (Mark 16:15-16)

The Baptism makes one to be added to the body of Christ and become a part of him. Galatians 3:24-27
There is only one body (Ephesians 4:5) and this body is the church (Colossians 1:18), which implies that there is only one church of which the saved ones are added by Christ (Acts 2:47, Romans 16:16).

*TAKE A STAND TODAY*

12/08/2023

📍📍📍 *Topic: ARE YOU SURE?*

*ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE TRULY A CHRISTIAN?*
Do you know that one does not become a Christian because he or she was born into a Christian family?
Do you also know that going to church does not mean one is a Christian?
Do you know that not all that call on the Lord will go to heaven (Matthew 7:21)?
Do you know that there are steps mankind must follow before becoming a Christian?

If your answer(s) to any of the questions above is NO, then a good opportunity is here for you to know.
*For you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32)*
Morality does not make one a Christian, neither does doing good only.
For one to be a Christian, one must follow the laid down biblical procedures. A perfect example to what might be thinking is CORNELIUS (Acts 10:1-3).
With all his good deeds, he was still not a Christian until he did the right thing.

Not until when one is baptized in the right way and under the right doctrine and be added to the body of Christ, one is not yet a Christian.

*TO BE CONTINUED*

Questions, Contributions and Corrections are welcome

ANSWER MY QUESTIONS

You say that you are following the way of the Lord Jesus Christ, how is it that you are NOT in His church? Matthew 16:18, Romans 16:16, Acts 20:28.

Why are you in another "church" (which is not another)? 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, Ephesians 4:4, 5:23, Colossians 1:18.

If you truly want to go to heaven, why you have obeyed another gospel, (which is not another)? Galatians 1:6-9.

You say that you want to please God, so why are you calling Him Lord, Lord, yet you refuse to do what He says? Matthew 7:21-27, Luke 6:46-49, John 14:15.

God told us to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, why are you worshipping Him in man's way? John 4:24.
...."But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Matthew 15:7-9, Mark 7:6-7.

Do you know that those things which seem right and feel good to you are displeasing to God? Proverb 14:12, Isaiah 55:8-9.

If you truly, truly want to please God and go to heaven ... Do what Peter and the others did... "Behold, we have left everything and followed You." Mark 10:28.

I guarantee...
If you will do the very same thing...give up all your religious ways, forsake your religious and sinful practices, change your beliefs - and obey the gospel of Jesus Christ and live a faithful life until the day of judgment, eternal life in heaven will be yours!

Pay very close attention to this truth...

If you are not in the Lord's church - the church of Christ, you are NOT SAVED!

All who are saved are in the Lord's church, the church of Christ. Ever since the day of Pentecost, the Lord is ADDING those who are being saved to it. Acts 2:47

Everyone else are ELSEWHERE in their UNSAVED state... OUTSIDE of Christ.

The Lord does not, cannot, and will not add anyone who are UNSAVED to the church. Notice when the bible said the Lord add people to the church, read Acts 2:37-47

If you want to be saved and be added to the Lord's church - the church of Christ, you must do as they did on the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter two...

👉🏿You must Hear the Gospel of Christ, Acts 15:7, Romans 10:17.
👉🏿You must Believe the Gospel of Christ, Mark 16:15-16, Hebrews 11:6.
👉🏿You must Repent of your sins, Luke 13:3-5, Acts 17:30.
👉🏿You must Confess your faith in Christ, Acts 8:37, Rom.10:9-10
👉🏿You must Be Baptized in water for the remission of your sins, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16, 1 Peter 3:21.

When you do these things⤴️ the Lord will ADD you to the church, Acts 2:47!👈🏿
Then you must live or remain Faithful unto death, 2 Peter 1:5-11, Revelation 2:10

Jesus said in John 8:32 "you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free."

Do you want to be free? Obey the truth and you will be set free in Christ Jesus.

TOPIC: CONSIDER YOUR WAYS
Text: Haggai 1:5,7

We've been on a long run for more than 360 days in the year 2022 and I believe that there are things we were unable to achieve...
Another year is around the corner and the word of God is telling us to consider our ways just the same way it was sounded to the people of Israel through prophet Haggai.
Like the Israelites, many of us have forsaken the household of God and we focus on our own things and that is why we are not reaping, despite the sowing; we aren't making progress, despite the hustling, we are not able to save, despite the sales, we are not growing in all ramifications, despite the running Helter Skeeter.

Many of us are doing the work of God without zeal but because we are been forced; the word of God says we should consider our ways in the year 2023 if we want to make progress and we want things to change positively.

THINGS WE SHOULD CONSIDER:
1. Attendance. Heb. 10:25, Acts 5:1-11
2. Giving. 2 Cor. 8:12, 2 Cor 9:6-7
3. Prayers. 1 Thess. 5:17, Matt. 6:6-8
4. Conduct/behavior. Eph. 4:29, Rom. 12:1-2
5. True Worship of God. John 4:23-24, 2 John 9
6. Salvation. Acts 2:37-38, Mark 16:15-16
7. Relationship with others. Rom. 12:12-17

The list continues till infinity but I beseech my beloved brethren, that we should obey the word of God alone and not the words of men.

Conclusion: Lam. 3:40, 1 Sam. 15:22, 1 Cor. 15:58

May God make 2023 a blessed year for us all and may he keep us safe beyond 2023... Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Happy New Year in advance 🥰🥰🥰

*FAKE FREEDOM*

Randy was born into a wealthy home; he had all he wanted at his beck and call. One day, after he had selfishly pressured his father and got a great deal of money; to live by himself, he then travelled to another country - seeking freedom.

Out of the watch of his father, Randy lived the life of "freedom" he dreamt of but soon lost all. In his suffering, he remembered that there was no place like home and father's protection. He realized his mistake and took the right step to go back to his father.

Some people never have the opportunity to make it back home as their fake freedom ends their lives miserably.

My friend, regardless of where your selfish path has led you to physically or spiritually - like Randy, it is time to come back home to Jesus for True Freedom.

To come to God for true freedom today, follow these steps:

√ *Believe* in him as your saviour (John 8:24)
√ *Repent* of your sins (Lk. 13:3)
√ *Confess* your faith in him (Rom. 10:10)
√ Be *baptized* to wash away your sins (Acts 2:37-41)

Why would anyone want to continue living in sin, in darkness, being separated from God, under condemnation when...
There is no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus
Light is in Christ
Hope is in Christ
Joy is in Christ
Peace is in Christ
All spiritual blessings are in Christ
Salvation is in Christ

The person who is living worldly, ungodly in an unsaved state is disobedient to the gospel of Jesus Christ and has made himself/herself an enemy of God and an enemy of the cross of Jesus Christ, Phil.3:18, James 4:4.

Why be God's enemy when He loves us so much and sent His only begotten son to die in our place? It was for our sins Christ Jesus died. He had no sin of His own... He knew no sin. We have sinned and stood condemned to die but Jesus took our place.

As long as you remain in sin or continue living in disobedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ, you are cut off from God and are separated from God. Jesus died to bridge that gap and bring you back INTO a relationship with God through obedience to the gospel.

Hear the Gospel – Rom.10:14,17; 1 Thess 2:13
Believe that Jesus is the Christ – John 8:24; Mark 16:16
Repent of our sins – Acts 17:30; Acts 8:22
Confess that Jesus is the Christ – Rom 10:10; Acts 8:36,37
Baptized (Immersed) in water into Christ – Acts 22:16; Acts 2:38; Gal. 3:27
Live Faithful to the Gospel – Rev. 2:10; Rev 3:11

Dear Friends,

We wanted to reflect today on surrounding ourselves with godly and encouraging individuals.

Surrounding yourself with wicked people will spill into your own behaviour. As it says in 1 Corinthians 15:33- "Do not be led astray: Bad company corrupts good morals”

In addition, Hebrews reminds us that it is important to come together and encourage each other as we hold onto this faith we profess!
Hebrews 10:23-25- "Let us hold unwaveringly to our confession that gives us hope, for he who made the promise is trustworthy. We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works. We should not stay away from our assembly, as is the custom of some, but encourage one another, and this all the more as you see the day drawing near."

Remember to stay connected with the people in your life who are encouraging, who renew you spiritually, and who you can lean on. As it says in Bill Withers' song, "Lean on Me," we all need somebody to lean on.

1 Thessalonians 5:11- "Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, as indeed you do."

Keep building each other up as we know you are already doing!
May God bless you as you continue to paddle the canoe of Christianity!
