Walk in the Spirit: 5 Practical Ways to Walk in Perfection!

Walk in the Spirit: 5 Practical Ways to Walk in Perfection!

Walk in the Spirit means obeying the ‘spiritual compass’ of the Lord during your journey in this world. There are many questions such as:

Who can be a perfect man? Can anyone on earth be holy as the Lord? Is it possible to live without sin in this sinful world…?

Despite the LORD’s instructions to us to be perfect, holy and sinless, many people still find it impossible to do. Why? The reason is simply because many don’t walk in the Spirit.

Today’s message will elaborate the significance of Holy Spirit and how to walk in the presence of the LORD blamelessly.

Who is the Holy Spirit?

Holy Spirit is the Spirit of GOD. Jesus says: “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:24)

The plan of God for our permanent salvation is to send a sinless being (Jesus Christ) as the last sacrifice for cleansing our sins and after the Blood and Resurrection, His Holy Spirit will always be available to guide us in all our steps on earth.

Holy Spirit is the only Helper that can make you have a successful walk. Jesus says: “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

7 Ways to Receive the Holy Spirit

You can only walk in the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God in you.

To receive the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with learning the language of speaking in tongues, anointed handkerchief, drinking holy coconut water and anointing oil or moving from one Pastor to another.

Note: No one is a distributor of the Holy Spirit, it belongs to GOD and it only comes from the LORD.

I received the Holy Spirit directly from GOD, so if you want a genuine Spirit then do the following:

1. Make a choice to leave worldliness and love godliness

2. Confess your sins from the depth of your heart

3. Repent from your careless life and decide to follow Jesus Christ

4. Pray to the LORD for Forgiveness

5. Read and Obey the commandments of Jesus Christ

6. Give your whole heart to the LORD

7. Pray to God to bless you with His Holy Spirit

If you follow the seven steps above, the Holy Spirit will be activated in you. Not necessarily through speaking in tongues because there are many other gifts of the Spirit. Please read First Corinthians chapter 12 for more understanding.

The main signal to know that the Holy Spirit is in you is; He will always instruct you to do the right things and give you wise advice and brilliant opinions that won’t make you stumble as you walk in the spirit.

He is also responsible for the success of your daily endeavours and you won’t be a failure anymore. I always enjoy the counsel of the Holy Spirit every minute of my life!

What is the Way of the Holy Spirit?

To walk in the Spirit requires knowing the way of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)

Thus, the way of the Holy Spirit is Jesus. So, how can you understand the way? You can do this by:

1. Studying the life of Jesus as written in the Bible

2. Drafting all His commandments and

3. Understanding the broad picture of His salvation for your life

The way of the Holy Spirit is summarised as the route of Righteousness. So, when you walk in Spirit you are invariably working in God’s Righteousness.

5 Practical Ways to Walk in the Spirit

1. Love Jesus with all your Mind

Not the love on the lips, but the true love that can be seen in your lifestyle.

“Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (John 14:23)

Hallelujah! I love this passage so much because it works so much for me!

2. Make your Body a Living Sacrifice

Be cautious of the things you do with your body. Don’t involve yourself in the works of the flesh such as: image transformation (tattoos, make-ups…), adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like… (Galatians 5:19-21)

3. Produce Fruits of the Spirit

To walk in the Spirit is a righteous lifestyle and not a doctrine. Thus, your life must have the following qualities; love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

4. Daily Devotion of your Life

My practical experience shows that I can’t live today through the glory of yesterday. If you want to walk in Spirit always, then always refresh your mind in the presence of the LORD every morning.

Pronounce your dedication to serve Him with all your heart and ask Him for divine strength on daily basis. Did you know the cause for daily Prayers? The reason is each day has its own peculiarity.

Jesus says: “…Sufficient for the day is its own trouble…” (Matthew 6:34)

5. Eat the Bible like Food

Download the soft copy of the Bible into your mobile phones, tablet, laptop and USB devices for the audio versions. I recommend the NKJV and NLT versions because I noticed many new versions watered down the original meaning of the scriptures.

To walk in the Spirit involves knowing the word (instructions) of God. Despite my busy schedules, I put on my ear-piece to listen to the audio Bible for perfect remembrance of the route and direction to follow.

 

The benefits of walking in the Spirit are the unlimited Joy on earth and the inheritance of Heaven. If you want to consistently walk in the Spirit then forsake the things of this world and obey the commandments of Jesus Christ and don’t disobey the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Vanity of Life: 8 ways to know the Meaningless of Life

Vanity of Life: 8 ways to know the Meaningless of Life

Vanity of life is the product of all forms of ungodly practices. Life is made up of actions and it is not an object. Life process your data and gives you your information. If you collate ungodly data then life would process it to vanity. While godly data is always processed to Beauty of Life.

Today’s message would give a sincere meaning related to vanity of life and the perspective of King Solomon to this topic.

Why is vanity a keyword in the book of Ecclesiastes?

It is unfortunate that many depressed people quote this book to justify their suicidal action and all other forms of evil acts. You can’t hate life because king Solomon said he does!

I read Ecclesiastes many times before putting up this message and through the help of the Holy Spirit I would tell you the truth about king Solomon and his book of lamentation (Ecclesiastes).

The book of Ecclesiastes comprises of king Solomon’s personal experience, personal view and personal deduction about life under the sun. God’s input, inspiration or instruction was not in the book, so be careful with the way you handle his expression.

King Solomon described his life to be vanity when he discovered the extent at which he missed God’s presence in his life. The whole book is all about bitter lamentation of an individual!

The book of Ecclesiastes does not have God’s authority to tell you that this life is bound to be meaningless for you. Ecclesiastes was written by a depressed writer!

What Caused King’s Solomon meaningless life?

If you study the context of king Solomon in the book of Ecclesiastes, you would discover that he was full of regrets. He was bitter. He hates everything about himself. The life of the old man was miserable.

He was a happy king in his early days as recorded in the books of the Kings. His expressions in the book of Proverbs was well composed. But why did his life become vanity in his old age?

I searched through the Bible and discovered that towards the end of his life he disobeyed the commandments of the LORD. He lived his life without God’s input and this led to the emptiness of his life. So, he picked up his pen and wrote everything about his empty life (vanity).

“For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David.

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not fully follow the LORD, as did his father David.

Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the people of Ammon.

And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

So, the LORD became angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned from the LORD God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice, and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he did not keep what the LORD had commanded.

Therefore, the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

Now the LORD raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was a descendant of the king in Edom.” (1King 11: 1-14)

My heart is always filled with tears whenever I read the above passage about king Solomon.

8 Ways to Know the Vanity of Life!

The life of a Christian is not vanity because Jesus had come to give us life in abundance and not meaningless as described by king Solomon.

Jesus Christ says: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)

Vanity of life are all forms of pride celebrated without God’s consent. The following lifestyles are some of the indication of a meaningless life:

1. Life full of Parties

A meaningful life does not spend days or every weekend throwing parties. When you are too frequent at parties, you are likely to lose your godly mind.

2. Award Celebration

Life will go into vanity for any child of God that receives awards from men. Awards makes you feel big (pride) and celebration of pride leads to meaningless of life.

Jesus avoid award celebration when he says: “…Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments…” (Matthew 19:17)

3. More than One Wife

God gave a template of one man one wife in the Genesis. So, any man with wives or vice versa would run into vanity of life.

But King Solomon loved many foreign women, as well as the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites-from the nations of whom the LORD had said to the children of Israel, “You shall not intermarry with them, nor they with you. Surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love.” (1Kings 11:1-2)

4. Concubines, Co-habit and Extramarital affairs

All these practices are no more abomination in our society. Anyone involved in these would suffer vanity of life.

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor reviles, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.” (1Corinthians 6:9-10)

5. Careless Love for Diversity and Varieties

This kind of love lured king Solomon into idolatry. So, if you are not restricted to the confinement of God’s commandment in the Bible. Your love for knowledge about Catholism, Mormorism, Muslim, or the Dark World, can make you fall into idolatry which is vanity.

6. Disobedience to God’s commandments is vanity

Solomon disobeyed the commandment given to him and he disliked himself when the consequences came on him. So, he suffered vanity of life when everything around him went empty and meaningless.

7. ‘To Fight God’

To seek the transfer of godly Pastor from your church…, to chase away Evangelists from your area…, refusal to help the poor…, removal of Bible from homes or public places and the likes are vanity of life.

“…Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.” (1Kings 11: 31-40)

8. Accumulation of Excessive Wealth

This is vexation of the spirit and vanity of life because the wealth is inherited by people who may not appreciate the labour of the rich man.

Your name on the list of the richest people is vanity. So, it is meaningless to have your name attached to hundreds of Estates, fleets of expensive cars or aeroplanes.

But life is not vanity if you share your wealth with the poor.

Listen to Jesus: “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven…” (Matthew 19: 21- 24) 

Vanity of life is for the backsliders. Life is not generally meaningless as mentioned by the bitter king Solomon. Neither the Prophets of the LORD nor Jesus Christ told us that life in its originality is vanity.

Life is meaningful if you obey all the instructions of Jesus in the Bible. Life is meaningless when you disobey the rules of the LORD. Life is sweet and interesting! Please don’t give-in to depression or suicidal thoughts. God Bless you!!

Christian Film: Good for God or Bad for Man?

Christian Film: Good for God or Bad for Man?

Christian film is the popular act similar to Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollywood. Can I call it ‘Chrisllywood’? Christian drama or play is very famous in the church, crusade and every other Christian gathering.

Faith-based movie is a modern act of ‘entertainment’ and ‘ministration’ using advanced cameras and other modern electronic gadgets.

Today’s message is to check and balance the act of Christian film. Is it godly? How good is faith-based movie? Is it a popular bad action? Let’s have a look at Christian film with the spiritual eyes.

The History of Christian Film

In 1680, Athanasius Kircher, a catholic priest popularized the magic lantern, a simple slide projector. Magic lanterns used a candle or lamp as a light source and the images were projected on the wall.

In the 1800s missionaries such as David Livingston used the lanterns to present the Gospel in Africa. The emergence of movie theatres in the 19th century lost the popularity of magic lanterns.

Through the years, however, many Christians began to utilize motion picture for their own purposes. Herbert Booth, as part of the Salvation Army, claimed to be the first user of film for the cause of Christianity, in 1899.

Throughout the late 19th and into the 20th century, there was much dispute among Christians about “Christian film”. Many thought motion pictures were creating graven images, and shunned having anything to do with the film industry.

By the 1940s a renaissance of Christian film-making occurred and surprisingly, the Protestant Church encouraged film from the early 20th century.

This history has no link to God, Jesus, Holy Spirit or the early disciples. So, the popular act of watching and acting Christian film should be a serious concern to a true child of God.

The Act of Christian Film

The features of playact include some of the points below:

1. Pretends to be a different person (impersonation).

2. All actions in the film are not true intention

3. Names of the casts are not original

4. Presence of many tricky displays to viewers

5. The story is untrue or exaggerated

6. The act of Christian film does not respect the conscience of actors and viewers.

Does faith-based movie Portray Righteousness?

Jesus says: “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” (John 4:23)

Let’s look at this topic critically. If Christian drama is part of our worship outline to the Lord in the church, then was it an instruction from the Holy Spirit? Is Christian film done in Truth? Unfortunately, there is no word of God in the Bible that instructs us to engage in drama as a way of ministering the message of God.

Also, it is evident that Christian film is not done in truth, because all the characters in the film do not act their true identity. This message may not go down well in your heart if you are among majority of the Christians who do not watch Hollywood but Christian films.

Seriously, this is not my word and this is not my opinion but the counsel of the Holy Spirit.

My Experience Related to Christian Film

I started participation in Christian drama from the age of 13 and it was continuous for about two decades. I was a drama coordinator in the church after the Lord anointed me to be His messenger.

After ten years of my new life, I did not give-up Christian film as a tool for evangelism. My experience as a play writer and an artist is that I always suffer uneasiness in the deepest part of my heart, but I always console myself that God cannot throw me into hell since the lies are meant to capture souls for His kingdom.

I knew the story I wrote was not true. I knew the role I played in the drama was false. When the voice of the Lord spoke to my heart about the ‘Ministry of Lies’ which I called the ‘Drama Ministry’, I shunned the voice and said: “We are doing this drama ministry to win souls for Christ.”

But, one evening I was watching a Christian movie and the Spirit of the Lord interpreted each scene and act of the film to me… the woman called the man: “My husband …” The Spirit of the Lord asked me if the man was truly her husband, and I said ‘No’. The Holy Spirit said: “it is written in her ‘book’ that she called the man her husband and the statement is tagged ‘lie’ in her ‘book’.

In another scene, there was a mad boy, the Holy Spirit asked: “Was he mad?” I responded ‘No’. But the Spirit of the Lord said: “Yes, he is mad, because that was the present action… God does not joke!!”

I was not myself after watching the faith-based movie.

The Teachings of the Holy Spirit as regards Christian Films/drama

1. Everything you do or say is written and you shall be accountable to every idle word you speak.

Jesus says: “But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the Day of Judgment.”

2. God does not play jokes and does not act films; you are responsible for every action you take in the drama.

Ephesians chapter 5 verse 1 to 7: “…neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fittingLet no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.”

3. Films or drama is an act of pretense which hits the film makers and film viewers with the spirit of deceit.

4. You cannot achieve a divine evangelical result like Jesus and His disciples if you use the medium of deceit to minister a righteous message. This is one of the reasons for many hypocrites in the church today.

5. The psyche of the viewers is always cheated through the lies that seem to be a true incidence.

It is a pity that many faith-based movies give birth to faithless and “half-baked” Christians. Uh! The church is under siege of worldly custom.

The Instrument of Christian Films

Don’t be deceived by anyone, Christian film has no root in the LORD. The LORD did not use drama to minister His messages to the Israelite.

Neither Jesus nor Holy Spirit uses the instrument of Christian films to win souls from the world. I have studied the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and I cannot find a single verse to support this popular practice.

Yes! It is famous but dangerous!!

Paul stressed the point of ministering the word of God with righteous tools. “Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.”(2 Corinthians 4:1-2)

Morality and godly living are rarely a consideration in acting film and drama. The Casts are asked to use foul language and to portray murderers, thieves, liars, and the like. They might also be instructed to play out adulterous or licentious situations. How can the cast reconcile this falsehood act with living a godly life?

The Influence of Christian Film in the Church

Christian film is a spiritual trap in the church covered with words such as; holy entertainment, drama ministry, visual ministration, gospel comedy etc. Some pastors told us that acting film or drama is a talent from the Lord. Such teaching is not true because there is no record in the Bible that substantiates the use of drama.

The religious movie is full of hypocrisy. It is not real, not true and is acted on pretense. How can this be a right way to preach the gospel or edify the saints?

It is too dangerous for a child of God to engage in any famous activity of the world which is not supported by the word of God.

Some of my colleagues who find it difficult to swallow these bitter pills argued that David and the prophets in the Bible acted drama, but their points were out of context.

For instance, David decided in his heart to act like a mad man to save his life from the king whom he deceived (1 Samuel 21:10-15).

If it was a film;

1. The story won’t mention his real name in the narration.

2. Everyone and the king would know that he was not truly mad.

God never asked David to act the deceitful display.

However, it is blaspheme to refer to all the strange experience of the prophets as drama. There was no prophet that performed drama. All they did was true in accordance to the instructions of the LORD.

If the prophets acted drama in the Bible then prophet Jeremiah would not love to be cursed. “Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.” (Jeremiah 4:10)

Christian film is not an instrument of evangelism. Jesus who spoke more than forty parables would have been a good actor if drama or film is a godly instrument.

To Act Drama or Film is an Unhealthy Risk to Take

I remembered praying for all my casts that would act the negative or evil roles in the play. But the shocking revelation is that some of the evil roles played by some casts come to pass in their lives. Thus, God respects words and choice of action so much.

If Christian film is a powerful instrument for evangelism, Jesus would have told the disciple during His ascension to heaven. The Gospel is from the Lord, so you should deliver the Message as instructed by the LORD and not by the lying acts you humanly thought could help God

If God is present in the messages delivered through films, then all the film tricks and emotions in the famous film such as; ‘The Passion of the Christ’ should have won billions of hot Christians for the Lord. A lot of people watch the Christian films, and after wiping away their tears, the movie does not have the capability to change their hearts to repentance.

It is wise for all Christians to stick to the instructions of the LORD in everything we do. Don’t embrace civilization, modernization or any form of science and technology that could contradict the word of GOD.

Despite the popular acceptance of Christian film, it clearly contradicts the commandment of God that asked us not to pretend and not to lie. “…and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

It is wise to watch real life documentaries than to watch or take part in the popular falsehood of Christian films or drama.

Please, ruminate on this message and re-read this message for more understanding. Then pray to the Lord to open your heart to comprehend His decision on film makers and film viewers.

I pray the LORD deliver us from the end-time deceits in this generation.

Holy Trinity: Is the Doctrine from God or the Bishops?

Holy Trinity: Is the Doctrine from God or the Bishops?

It might shock you to know the true definition of the Holy Trinity doctrine. I thought it was just a cordial relationship between God, Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit.

I spent little of my childhood in the Catholic; I grew up in the fellowship of the Protestants and later the Pentecostal. But I never knew the in-depth of the doctrine related to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Few days ago, I was searching for information on the internet and I stumbled on a questionnaire asking if the doctrine of Holy Trinity is from the LORD.

I never knew it was a doctrine until I spent the last three days to know the in-depth of holy trinity. Today’s message will open your heart to understand the truth about God, Jesus, Holy Spirit and holy trinity.

This doctrine had consumed the blood of the saints in the early century, but I won’t be afraid to tell you the truth. I received the authority of Yahweh to preach the Truth to you.

The significance of today’s message is to boost your understanding on God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. I pray the Lord will minister to your heart and rebuke every spirit of confusion as you read this message in Jesus name.

 What is the Doctrine of Holy Trinity?

The doctrine of the Trinity means that there is one God who eternally exists as three distinct Persons–the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God is one in essence and three in person. These definitions express three points: (a) The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct Persons, (b) each Person is fully God (c) there is only one God.

They are equal in power, love, mercy, justice, holiness, knowledge, and all other qualities.

How righteous is this doctrine?

Origin of the Doctrine Holy Trinity

Most people assume that every doctrine practiced in the church originated with Jesus Christ and His early followers. But this is definitely not the case of holy trinity.

The Roman emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicea (modern-day western Turkey) in 325 A.D as regards the dispute over the nature of Christ which divides the church.

Arius was a priest from Alexandria in Egypt who supposedly taught that Christ, because He was the Son of God, must have had a beginning and therefore was begotten, or created or established. So, if Jesus was the Son, the Father of necessity must be older. Opposing the teachings of Arius was Athanasius, a deacon also from Alexandria. His view was an early form of Trinitarianism wherein the Father, Son and Holy Spirit were one but at the same time distinct from each other.

The decision as to which view the Church council would accept was to a large extent arbitrary.

As emperor, Constantine was in the unusual position of deciding Church doctrine even though he was not really a Christian.

With the emperor’s approval, the Council rejected the minority view of Arius and having nothing definitive with which to replace it, approved the view of Athanasius which was also a minority view.

The Church was left in the odd position of officially supporting the decision made at Nicea to endorse a belief held by only a minority of bishops and government officials.

Constantine is also believed to have exiled those who refused to accept the Nicean creed, such as; Arius, deacon Euzoios and the Libyan bishops Theonas of Marmarica and Secundus of Ptolemais. He also exiled the bishops who signed the creed but refused to join in the condemnation of Arius, Eusebius of Nicomedia and Theognis of Nicea.

The Emperor also ordered all copies of the Thalia to be burned, which was the book in which Arius expressed his teachings. The groundwork for official acceptance of the trinity was now laid, but it had taken more than three centuries after Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection for this unbiblical teaching to emerge!

The Council of Nicea did not end the controversy, so after Constantine’s death in 337 A.D. disputes continued. Constantine’s son Constantius II who had become Emperor of the eastern part of the Empire encouraged the Arians and set out to reverse the Nicene Creed. His advisor in these affairs was Eusebius of Nicomedia who had already at the Council of Nicea been the head of the Arian party and who was also made bishop of Constantinople.

Constantius used his power to exile bishops that followed the Nicene Creed and especially Athanasius who fled to Rome. In 355 A.D. Constantius became the sole Emperor and extended his pro-Arian policy toward the western provinces.

The continuing debates resulted in numerous synods. Among them were the Council of Sardica in 343 A.D, the Council of Sirmium in 358 A.D. and the double Council of Rimini and Seleucia in 359 A.D. There were no fewer than fourteen further creed formulas between 340 and 360 A.D.

So, the fires of this Godhead quarrel burned brightly for over fifty years. From 351 to 360 A.D, Emperor Constantius convened no fewer than nine councils of bishops for the sole purpose of trying to settle them to no avail.

After the death of Constantius in 361 A.D, his successor Julian who was a devotee of Rome’s pagan gods declared that he would no longer favor one church faction over another and allowed all exiled bishops to return.

This resulted in further increasing dissension among Christians. The Emperor Valens however revived Constantius’ policy and supported the “Homoian” party exiling bishops. During this persecution many bishops were exiled to the other ends of the Empire.

The ongoing disagreements were at times violent and bloody. While claiming to be Christian many believers fought and slaughtered one another over their differing views of God!

In the year May 381 A.D. being 44 years after Constantine’s death, Emperor Theodosius convened the Council of Constantinople (today Istanbul, Turkey) to put an end to the disputes. Gregory of Nazianzus who was recently appointed as archbishop of Constantinople was to preside over the council to urge the adoption of his view on the Holy Spirit.

However, Gregory soon became ill and had to withdraw from the council. So, it was Nectarius, an elderly city senator who was still not a baptized Christian, was selected to preside. Nectarius appeared to know no theology, and he had to be initiated into the required faith before being baptized and consecrated.

It is absolutely bizarre that a man who up to this point wasn’t a Christian was appointed to preside over a major Church council tasked with determining what it would teach regarding the nature of God!

The teaching of the three Cappadocians “made it possible for the Council of Constantinople (381) to affirm the divinity of the Holy Spirit, which up to that point had nowhere been clearly stated, not even in Scripture.” — (Harper-Collins Encyclopedia of Catholicism, p. 568)

The council adopted a statement that translates into English as, in part, “We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages …

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spoke by the prophets …” The statement also affirmed belief “in one holy, catholic [meaning in this context universal, whole or complete] and apostolic Church …

Although much of the Church hierarchy in the East had opposed the Nicene Creed in the decades leading up to Theodosius’ accession, he eventually succeeded in achieving unity with the Nicene Creed.

With this declaration in 381 A.D. known as the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, the trinity as generally understood today became the official belief and teaching concerning the nature of God. Thus, for the first time in history, Christianity had a doctrine of the trinity. The Platonic beliefs of “the three Cappadocians” had prevailed.

In 538 A.D, the Arian believers were completely wiped out by the Catholic Church, leaving the Papacy as the sole “Corrector of heretics.Anyone opposing the Catholic teaching of the trinity was exterminated, for “the Mystery of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the Catholic Faith.” — (Handbook for Today’s Catholic, p. 11)

How does Holy Trinity imitate Paganism?

It is no more news that the early Catholics lure the pagans into the church by duplicating idolatry practices and beliefs. The holy trinity; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit has no root in the Bible, so, it was a duplicate of paganism.

It would surprise you to know that the absolute beginnings of the three in one trinity doctrine goes right back to the Tower of Babel on the plain of Shinar by the River Euphrates many generations after the flood.

The trinity got its start in Ancient Babylon with Nimrod – Tammuz – and Semiramis. Semiramis demanded worship for her husband and her son as well as herself. She claimed that her son was both the father and the son. He was “god the father” and “god the son” – The first divine incomprehensible trinity.

So, in Egypt, their trinity became Osiris, Horus and Isis.

In Greece it was Zeus, Apollo and Athena.

And in India there was Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

In Rome, they had Jupiter, Mars and Venus.

Biblical Proof of holy trinity

There was no particular verse in the Bible that mentioned holy trinity. The Bible contains no statement such as three persons equal to one God; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God did not mention such names.

Neither the prophets nor Jesus Christ teaches the doctrine of holy trinity. The false teachers tumbled the literal meaning of some verses to support their man-made doctrine of holy trinity.

For instance, they quote the book of Matthew chapter 28 verse 19: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

But there is a clear difference between the name mentioned in the verse above and the trinity names of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

According to the verse, there is Father, Son and the Holy Spirit and the name GOD was not attached to the three. So, beware of false teachers who intend to tumble the word of God for their selfish desires.

The team that brought the doctrine of trinity had been predicted earlier before the death of the Apostles. Second Peter chapter 2 verse 1 says: “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.”  Holy trinity is a typical heresy!

Who is GOD?

I am privilege to have a very close encounter with GOD and I can tell you without hesitation that HE is an incomprehensive Creator of all creations both in heavens, on earth and under the earth. Yahweh is the Author of all existence.

You know how you feel sad or embarrassed when someone calls your name wrongly. The teachings of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is a deliberate act to grieve God. Who can escape His wrath?

Listen to the correct names of the Almighty GOD:

“Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?

And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.” (Exodus 3:13-14)

 

The LORD revealed a great vision of the Last Judgment to me as recorded in Revelation Chapter 20. I saw GOD as the only Judge. I saw Jesus and the true Christians receiving Victory, while Devil and his followers receiving eternal sorrow.

Thus, I have the authority from the LORD to tell you that GOD is one and Jesus is not GOD.

Who is Jesus?

GOD introduced Jesus to us at the river. Did HE call Jesus ‘God the Son’?

“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17)

If Jesus is God, then the voice should be: “This is my beloved me, in whom I am pleased with myself.”  How contradictory is the doctrine of holy trinity?

Jesus also confirmed His name and identity in the midst of His disciple and He never called Himself GOD the Son.

“When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? … Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 16:13-17)

Peter hit the nail on the head. Jesus never says He was a Three in One Person. A son can never be a father at the same time! So, Jesus acknowledges the supremacy of his Father (GOD). Why should these false teachers come up with this misleading idea after 200 years of Christ’s resurrection?

I have deals with Jesus Christ severally and He never told me that He is God; rather He acknowledges the supremacy of GOD the Father.

Paul understood the integrity of Jesus who never equals Himself to His Father. Philippians chapter 2 verses 5 and 6: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.” So, why did these pastors, deacons and bishops claimed that Jesus is equal to God?

Who is Holy Spirit?

I remembered a vision when the LORD spoke to me on a mountain. HE was so furious about the status of the world, the arrogance of the people, the disobedience in the church, and told me to preach His hot judgement coming… He left me angrily.

I was scared to get down of the mountain, but thank God for an invisible force that lifted me from the mountain and dropped me to the ground. That was the first time I had a contact experience with the Holy Spirit.

(Prophet Ezekiel also had similar experience, Ezekiel 3:12)

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.” (John 14:26)

Yes, the Holy Spirit is presently with us and no one has ever seen Him as a Person.

Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and He manifests in a way that suits the LORD.

“The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2)

The description above shows that Holy Spirit is not a Person, but a mysterious being of the LORD.

“Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” (Acts 2)

If Holy Spirit is a Person as claimed by the teachers of holy trinity, then He would have knocked the door and enter the upper room of the disciples.

Holy Spirit is not a different person as claimed by the false teachers. Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God.

God created us in HIS image, so we have body and soul/spirit. Can you refer to your spirit as a different person? No. So, it is blasphemy to refer to the Spirit of GOD as a different Person.

Is Jesus the same as God?

In Trinitarian doctrine, the members of the Trinity are co-equal and co-eternal, one in essence, nature, power, action, and will.

If this deceitful doctrine is true, then Jesus should have equal power with GOD and to know the day of rapture. But Jesus did not know the date for rapture.

But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Mark 13:32)

Another reason to throw this holy trinity doctrine into trash is that GOD cannot be the Receiver of sacrifice and at the same time the sacrificial lamb.

“And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? Which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34)

Jesus’ outcry shows that He is not equal and not the same as GOD as claimed by the Trinitarian.

The teaching of Lord’s Prayer shouldn’t have been ‘Our Father who art in heaven…’ but Our God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit who art in Heaven… Do those misleading Bishops know better than Jesus?

The teachers of Holy trinity said that Jesus (GOD the Son) had same authority as GOD the Father. But Jesus proofs them wrong in the book of John chapter 14 verses 10: Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.”

Please, don’t be deceived by this man-made doctrine, it is false!

Jesus never referred to Himself as God the Son, but Son of God. John chapter 10 verses 36: “do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?”

 

There is no dispute that there is a strong bonded relationship between God, Jesus and Holy Spirit, but God is not divided into three persons.

The doctrine of holy trinity is just bunch of human formula and contradiction. The doctrine of Holy trinity is not in the Bible. It originates from man to satisfy their human thoughts; thus, it should be deleted from your brain.

It is devil’s plan to introduce idolatry to us after two centuries of the early church. The fact that Jesus was referred to as Lord does not mean He is the Supreme LORD. It is a sign of respect (like Sarah calling Abraham ‘lord ‘) that must not underestimate the Almighty GOD. (John 10:34- note the small letter ‘g’ for gods.)

Pull out from the blunder of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The holy trinity doctrine is neither a teaching from God nor Jesus, so beware of this Heresy!

Transgender: Good for Christians or Bad?

Transgender: Good for Christians or Bad?

Transgender is an outcome of a mental condition triggered by the devil to suffer the victims with confusion of their gender status. All Christians must understand the phenomenon of transgender. It is dangerous for the children of God to be indifferent about this topic.

Today’s message is not to nail the transgender people on the cross, but to show the love of Jesus to them. This article is for the rightful orientation of the children of God to avoid future explosion of transgender in the Church.

It is unfortunate we found ourselves in a society where we find it difficult to say the truth. The law of the land is so demonic that the Christians are scared to convince the evil doers – a sign of the end-time.

When a mental problem became a legal celebration in the society, then it shows how desolate the faith of this generation had been to God our Creator.

Transgenderism should not be embraced as a new culture, because it is a mental problem that requires spiritual and psychological intervention by the LORD.

Story of a Transgender Woman

Walt Heyer was a transgender woman for 8 years. “In April of 1983 I had gender reassignment surgery. At first, I was giddy for the fresh start. But hormones and sex change genital surgery couldn’t solve the underlying issues driving my gender dysphoria.

“I de-transitioned back to male more than 25 years ago. I learned the truth: Hormones and surgery may alter appearances, but nothing changes the immutable fact of your sex.”

Atomic Statistics of transgender

The number may appear minute, but it is an atomic bomb that must be detonated very fast by all Christians. If care is not taking, it may take the same trend of indecent dressing that started by few women, and today the servants of the Lord cannot stop the mess in the church.

A survey in 2016, from the Williams Institute, estimated that 0.6% of U.S. adults identifies as transgender. There are about 200,000-500,000 trans people in the UK.

Revolution of Transgender

To change the anatomy of a man to resemble a woman or vice versa was not a famous trend in the 19th century. But the medical experts changed the rightful way of treating gender dysphoria and introduced sex reassignment surgery and hormonal treatment in the 20th century.

Medical and surgical advances now made it possible to alter a person’s physical appearance and sexual characteristics so that they resemble that of the gender with which they identify.

However, this discovery is not the perfect solution the transgender people thought they could get. Why? It is impossible for the medical experts to redesign the sex Chromosomes, and a fully functioning sex organ cannot be surgically constructed.

Devil’s Roles in Transgender

1. Deceit

The Devil speaks to the heart of people suffering from gender dysphoria that their thoughts about a confused gender acquisition are correct. And he deceived the sufferer that transgender is the solution.

 2. Depression

Gender confusion is a mental weapon from the Devil to punish his victims. It is a demonic illness of the mind. The sufferers get depressed every day and Satan whispers the false transgender solution to their hearts.

3. Disrespect to the Creator

The revolution of transgender is to make us disrespect and sin against God the Creator of our gender. The Devil tries to convince people suffering gender dysphoria that it was a mistake from the Lord.

And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” (Revelation 12:17)

4. Distort the Human Race

Since Devil had been chased out of Heaven, he had been our arch-enemy. His plan in transgender is to distort the human race and create a great devaluation to humanity.

5. Detonate unfaithfulness

The role of the Devil in transgenderism is to suck people’s faith in God.

Devil utilizes the media to spread the cultural falsehood of transgender. Thus, don’t be deceived by any media publication promoting the transgender revolution.

Transgender is against God’s will for humanity.

God does not support mutilation of testicles; “He who is emasculated by crushing or mutilation shall not enter the assembly of the LORD. “ (Deuteronomy 23:1)

7 Powerful Steps to Heal Gender Identity Dysphoria

The American Psychiatric Association identifies gender identity dysphoria as a feeling of being the opposite gender or being trapped in the wrong kind of body.  Characteristics often include a dislike of one’s genitals, one’s social sexual role and typical activities of the biological sex. 

Transgender through surgery, hormonal treatment or cross-dressing cannot solve the mental problem. The following points are practical solutions that heal gender identity dysphoria:

  1. You will need to understand that your transgender thoughts and feelings are your chosen method of escaping your originality.
  2. You get healed when you are ready to put an end to the thought that you are a member of the opposite gender.
  3. Healing begins when you admit with your God-given uniqueness and personality.
  4. Disallow shame-based thoughts from your heart, pray to the LORD and let your heart be filled with the word of Jesus always.
  5. Approach a genuine servant of God and reveal all your painful past to him. Elaborate the cause of running away from your gender, or why you envy the other gender. Identify who gave you such a negative role model of your gender. Confess some of the sexually addictive components that cause you to act out sexually. The Pastor’s counsel and prayers through the Holy Spirit will heal you.
  6. Pull down the lies of transgender revolution and replace them with God’s truth. Don’t believe the bunch of lies in the media and don’t listen to the anti-Christ in human flesh who intends to establish transgender revolution into our culture. You are wonderfully made by God with the right sex and gender.
  7. If you suffer other mental conditions which often co-exist with gender dysphoria, such as bipolar disorder, depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Please, treat through cognitive therapy and there’s no telling how much that would ease gender dysphoria.

Transgender is not the rightful solution to gender identity dysphoria. The sex reassignment surgeries and hormonal treatments cause more troubles without any goodness.

Transgenderism is ungodly and the church must strongly condemn this new trend. Many transgender people had regretted their decision, thus, let us approach our Trans friends with love and show them the best way in Christ. Transgender is demonic!!
