THE TRUE CHURCH

The Church was never meant to be a building made up of four walls built of concrete by mere men, this directly opposes the truth of the word of God and is rightfully the work of foolish religious people with worldly views who were unable to fully grasped the true word of God that is inspired of the holy spirit.

What we are witnessing today brought on by the pandemic in which buildings or houses of God left empty and church services conducted online is an equaliser to draw all Christians to the truth of the gospel and may I say maybe even to jog our senses so as to demonstrate the factual truth to the Church of God that we His creation made of flesh and blood are the true and living Church made without hands.

The Bible states the following in this regard,

1 Peter 2:5 - "You also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ".

When we come together as believers to worship our God, we then form the church of God in the assembly of His people in unity. The room/hall/building is only a place of fellowship bearing the name of the registered place of worship of the congregation.

We are His people the Church of the living God, hence we must never give up our position and identity as the true living Church to a man made structure as it will only serve to diminish your God given authority in Christ.

We have been so programmed by the world with its media, schools, books... in the way they cleverly and deviously shape their words to reflect what they want you the believer or people at large to believe to be their truth of which is a false narrative of the actual truth of the word of God. In short it's an ideological warfare fought for the control of our hearts and minds.

We must never permit for our minds to be programmed by the worlds believe system but instead allow for the word of God to transform our thoughts and believe system to God's Kingdom ways and believes, this is imperative as it could cause us our very salvation in the end.

Our confessions become our reality and our affirmations become our believes which impacts our lifestyle and ultimately it will determine our future here on earth and in our afterlife.

I believe this whole subject on proper and truthful application of words and definitions in the context of Christianity may seem to be trivial to some, but is it really? What about how the world has made you to believe that the fruit Adam and Eve ate was an Apple, is that true to you? No not at all infect the Bible simply says "the fruit" no description of the type of fruit. What about the the three wise men? Is that also true to you? again it is false as the Bible does not indicate the number of wise men. Allow me to give you yet one more example as the Bible says in Matthew 18:16 by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact may be confirmed. Remember the whale that swallowed Jonah? Jonah 1:17 the Bible simply says a big fish and never indicates the type of fish, this is how the world asserts it's own narrative into a text and have you believing their truth which is not factual and also not the whole truth as defined by the Bible.

We must refrain from interpreting the scripture through our own intellect or adding and subtracting from the scripture as the Bible is a witness onto its self, the Bible will interpret it self in the volume of the 66 books of scripture if we will be a true Berean and study the word diligently through the power of the Holy Spirit.

We are forewarned in scripture specifically in the book of Revelation 22:18-19 "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book".

The Journal of Experimental Psychology says, if you want to convince someone of something entirely untrue? Just keep repeating it. Over and over. Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not.

We as Christians must be vigilant at all times especially so when our faith is concerned, we are the salt and light of this world and it is we the church who are the truth bearers hence we have to filter out the truth from the false and present the truth assertively and expose the lie vehemently.

Ephesians 5:11 - Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

1 Corinthians 6:2 - Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?

Let us as the true Church of God start here on earth in the classroom of life to discern the true from the false and take up our true position in Christ in your fallen world and present the truth of Kingdom of God to the world.

2 Thessalonians 2:10 - Because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

May you and your family be blessed knowing the truth that sets us free in Christ.
