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...

DECEITFULNESS OF SIN 2

TEXT. Hebrews 3:13  *But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin* .  *While deceit is a sin, Sin itself is deceitful.* Sin has the capacity to lure a man to do stuffs. *One of the major vices of the devil is to make sin appear attractive and unharmfult.* If Eve could see what the consequences of eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would be, she would have resisted the deception of the man of sin. She was simply deceived.Gen, 3:6 While it is no news that all sinners are already condemned to deceitfulness of sin, it is sad to know that many children of God (like Adam and Eve), are being easily deceived by Sin. See the case of Ananias and Sapphira, Acts 5:1-13. Many Christians today are still playing the same game of smartness this couple played. I call it smartness because that was what they thought they were doing. While they thought they were smart, Peter knew that Satan h...
