PRACTITIONER


Text: Philippian 4:9 ISV 


 *Likewise, keep practicing these things: what you have learned, received, heard, and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.* 


 *If everybody practises everything they have learnt in church (a Christ believing church), our world would have been a beautiful place for everyone to live in.* 


The devil does not have problem with people going to church  in as much as they are neither hearing nor doing the teachings of Christ.


This explains why we have many people who profess to be Christians, but who do not practice what they profess. *There are more professors of Christianity but very few Practitioners of Christianity.* 


Jesus said, some folks will approach heaven's gate with full assurance that it will be opened to them, but will be surprised to hear "depart from me, I never knew you, you who practice iniquity." Matthew 7:23.


Note, that these people are not unbelievers, infact, they are miracle-working believers. Hear their testimony:

"Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name, drove out demons in your name, and performed many miracles in your name, didn’t we?’ Matthew 7:22.


It's intriguing to know that Jesus did not refute the fact that they performed those miracles in His name, they were  rejected because of what they practiced- iniquity. 


Jesus said, "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Mathew 7:23.


 *You are not a Christian because you performed or receive miracles,  you are a Christian because you obey the sayings of Christ.* 


The truth is, everyone is a practitioner,  the difference is only in what we practice.

Basically,  you are either a practitioner of iniquity or a practitioner of God's word.

WHAT ARE YOU PRACTISING ?


Jesus said "Therefore, *everyone who listens to these messages of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.* Mathew 7:24 ISV 



 *BIBLE READING* : 


MATTHEW 7:21-29.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father,  help me not to only profess you with my mouth, but to truly practice and do all your sayings.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
