ALL TRUTH

Text :  Psalms 25:5 
Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You [are] the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

Our Lord Jesus Christ clearly made it clear that the Holy Spirit will lead us into all the truth. (John 16:13). The same promised Holy Spirit is here with us today. Hence, no one who has the Holy Spirit  has an excuse for not knowing what or who the truth is.

We live in a confused and noisy world. Many are looking and searching for the truth. Those who seem to have found the truth (Jesus Christ), are not journeying into all the truth. They are not being guided and led by the truth.

One of the major onslaughts of the enemy is placing a lie side by side with the truth. Having received the truth, many could no longer advance into the truth because of the lies the enemy has wrapped around the truth.

Philip, one of the deacons appointed by the Apostles went to Samaria, and Simon the sorcerer came to the truth but the lies in his head weren't dealt with.

The scriptures recorded that Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.(Acts 8:13). Just like many in the church today, though Simon had believed the truth, but the lies of the enemy still played in his head. 

Consequently, when Simon saw that the people were receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit through the laying on of  hands, he offered money to Peter for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Are there not many in our church today that are also offering money for anointing of the man of God to come up on them as well.

Unlike what we see today, Apostle Peter saw that Simon was not being guided and led by all truth. He rebuked him  sharply saying, "...Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money! You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not right in the sight of God.Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

This was the scenario of a man who has received the truth but is yet to be led and guided into all the truth. We have many like these on our pulpits and pews today. 
Anyone who has embraced the truth, must not hesitate to seek to know  the truth He has received.

 *It is one thing to believe Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, it's another thing to know Him whom you have received.* 
For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, *for I know whom I have believed* and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.(2Timothy 1:12)

 *Bible reading* : 

Acts 8:5-24.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, grant me the grace and wisdom to embrace the whole truth and to be guided into all of it.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
