LET US GROW UP mar16

REFERENCE: Ephesians 4:14 (NIV)

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.

COMMENT:

Growing up spiritually is a process. When we receive Christ Jesus as our saviour, we begin a long journey toward maturity and we do not graduate until we pass on.

As humankind, we have to learn nearly everything hence taking years in childhood. In Christianity, it is the same.  The more quality time we spend studying the word and memorizing it, the better we shall become. Our mentors, the churches   we attend, and the mature Christians we fellowship together, matter very much in our growth.

The Bible is the word of God and it is the only book in the world that has recorded the most important information about where humankind has come from, what they are doing here on earth and where they are going. It is the manual by God on how man should conduct himself and how he should relate to others.

The Liberal Theologians claim that the Bible is just like other books written by human beings  and it  has errors that should be corrected. They do the correction adding and subtracting according to whatever they know and subscribe to. Some of their ideas come from the theory of evolution which classifies animals and human beings the same. They do not want to accept the fact that man is made in the image of God and so different from animals. Liberal theologians can be likened to a medical doctor who does not believe the information contained in the main book he uses everyday in his work. This is a high level of dishonesty and therefore, it would be dangerous to be treated by such a doctor.

The mainstream churches today are full of liberal theologians who do not openly declare their stand. They live and operate hidden and in deception. They easily fall away and therefore discredit the church.

Your word and you are the same. To state something in a court of law and then immediately disown your word is called perjury and is a serious crime which may land you in jail. The bible in 2 Timothy 3:16 clearly affirms that “All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

PRAYER:

 Holy Spirit! Keep us away from craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming.
