MY HOUSE- 3

Join our channel  👇👇👇👇 https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbCMZTK2f3EJoVXjd408 TEXT: Matthew 21:14 *Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.*   *When the presence of God is right in the midst of His people, salvation, healing and deliverance become imminent.*  Jesus Christ, having shut down the merchandising activities in the temple, the blind and the lame came to him and they were healed. The scripture is quite intentional in specifically recording these two kinds of  infirmities amongst others.   Before the arrival of Jesus in the temple, the temple had become a den of thieves, it was no longer a house of prayer. A “den of thieves” is a place where people who steal or cheat gather, hide, or operate from. So, what Jesus was saying in essence is that, the place where people ought to gain access to God has now become a place where  corrupt people hide and operate from. The synagogue leaders, under the disguise of...

These descriptions pass for what the church of God represents or should represent today. When Jesus Christ entered into the temple of God, and cast out all the people that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, he said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.(Matthew 21:12-13) It is clear that the house of God which was supposed to be a house of prayer had been turned into a den of thieves. It has become a place of buying and selling, and no more a place of connecting with the LORD. ...

MY HOUSE

TEXT: Matthew 21:13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. One major feature that must distinguish God's house from other houses is Prayer! God's house is a house of prayer. Though many other religions also uphold the tenet of prayer, but the only house where communication takes place between the very creator of heaven and the earth and man is the house of God, which is the church of God.  This church is not a building but any place where two or more believers in Christ Jesus gather unto Him.   *For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20).*  So, it's clear that it's not every place of worship that you can call the house of God. When you see any gathering of people, to certify such gathering as God's house, you need to ask- is the LORD in their midst? or are they gathered unto the LORD? Is it indeed a house of prayer or den of ...

LIFE BEYOND APPEARANCE

TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:5. “ Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such, turn away.” Apostle Paul, writing to Timothy, warned about a dangerous trend that would characterize the last days. In Second Timothy 3:5, he concluded that people living out these signs of the end time would maintain an outward appearance of godliness but lack its transforming power. This is a sobering reminder that Christianity is not merely about religious activities, church attendance, or spiritual vocabularies, it is about having a working  relationship with Christ that produces real change. The phrase “form of godliness” suggests external religion without internal transformation. It is possible to sing worship songs, quote scriptures, and even serve in ministry, yet resist the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. The power of godliness is the power that convicts of sin, renews the mind, breaks sinful habits, and produces the fruit of the Spirit. When the power of God is at work in a b...

THE LAST DAYS 3

TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. What King James version of the bible refers to as 'perilous' is also known as difficult times. So, don't be perturbed, if you are aware that we are in the last days, then you should know that we are in difficult times. A number of features characterised this difficult times. Now, it is your responsibility to ensure that you are not caught in any of these features. Number one on the list as we have it in our Bible reading is self -love. Our world today is canvasing seriously for this self-love. Some years back, people celebrate you on your birthday, but today, we see things like "happy birthday to me". "I celebrate myself today", and so on. Now, it is good to have healthy self-love, which includes taking care of yourself, and knowing your worth in God. But to go overboard is to become a lover of self above God. To be a “lover of self” means to have an excessive, unhealth...

THE LAST DAYS - 2

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:1. “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.” One major warning from the Spirit of God concerning these last days is the danger of deception. While speaking in Gospel of Matthew 24 about the signs of the end of the age, Jesus said, “Take heed that no one deceives you. *For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.”* (Matthew 24:4–5). It should not surprise you that there are many false prophets and teachers in these last days, they are simply fulfilling prophecy. However, what you must guard against is becoming one of the many who are deceived. One major tool of deception is false teachings. The Word of God describes such teachings as doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1). Beloved, beware. The devil is not trying to deceive those who already belong to him,  they are already captured. His target is God’s children. And one of his quic...

THE LAST DAYS

TEXT: 1 Timothy 4:1.  “ Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. The Spirit of God is speaking expressly, clearly, and specifically. The question is: Are you hearing clearly? One of the unmistakable warnings about the last days is that many will abandon the faith. This departure from faith will not always be dramatic or sudden; sometimes it begins subtly, - a compromise here, a neglected prayer life there, a gradual tolerance for falsehood and so on.  *To ignore what the Spirit is saying is to place yourself at a spiritual disadvantage point.* When God warns, it is not to frighten you but to prepare and preserve you. The first caution here is against abandoning your faith. Faith is not passive; it must be guarded and nurtured. The Bible tells us in Jude 1:3 to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” 'Contending' implies efforts, vigilan...
