TUESDAY 25 MARCH, 2014. DOCTRINE; THE DODDERING DOGMA OF RELIGION. ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF, FOR CORRECTION, FOR INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS (2 TIM. 3:16). SEVERAL YEARS AGO, A BIBLE BASED CHURCH WHICH HAS ITS HEADQUARTER SITUATED IN SOUTHERN PART OF NIGERIA, ALSO WITH A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF ASSEMBLIES ACROSS THE CONTINENTS OF THE WORLD, ONCE PROHIBITED THE USE OF DRUMS DURING HER SERVICES. THEIR STANCE WAS SO STRICT ON THIS TO THE POINT OF SENDING SOME OF THEIR LEADERS TO ECHO THIS BAN. IN ONE OF THEIR CONVINCING-TRIPS, A HIGHLY RATED LEADER WAS QUOTED AS SAYING: AS LONG AS PEOPLE LIKE US LIVE, THIS CHURCH WONT BEAT DRUM. AFTER A LENGHTY WHILE, THE SAME PASTOR WHOSE QUOTE WAS AFOREMENTIONED, WAS SENT BACK TO INFORM MEMBERS THAT THE CHURCH AUTHORITY HAVE RESCINDED THEIR INITIAL STANCE. IT WAS ALMOST AN UNBELIEVABLE JOKE. DESPITE THIS LAUGHABLE DEVELOPMENT, I PERSONALLY COMMEND THEIR ABILITY TO RECONSIDER THEIR OPINION, AND THEIR BOLDNESS TO ADJUST. THESE TWO ATTRIBUTES ARE MISSING IN THE TERRITORIES OF SOME MINISTERIES. THEY FIND IT HARD TO DUMB THEIR NAIVETY EVEN AFTER DISCOVERING THE TRUTH. THIS HAS LEFT COUNTLESS MINISTERIES IN A DEPLORABLE STATE OF BLINDNESS, AND HAVE SUCCESSFULLY REDUCED THEM TO A CLIQUE, CULT AND DEMONIC GATHERING. TODAY, I WISH TO HURL THIS QUESTION TO OUR CHURCHES HOW RECEPTIVE ARE OUR CHURCHES TO DIVINE TRUTHS, DIRECTIONS AND DISCOVERIES? THEIR ANSWERS TO THIS QUESTION WILL TELL IF TRULY THEY ARE CORNER STONES FOR CHRIST OR PSEUDO TEMPLE. IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR ME TO BRIEFLY ANALYSE DOCTRINE AS SEEN IN 2 TIM. 3:16. ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY THE INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND PROFITABLE FOR DOCTRINE... ACCORDING TO THIS VERSE, LET ME PICTORIALLY LIKEN GOD TO A WATER TAP, WHILE THE SCRIPTURE DEPICTS THE FLOW OF WATER THAT RUSHES WHEN THE VALVE IS UNLOCKED, AND DOCTRINE AS AN EXPECTANT CUP WAITING FOR THE TAP TO BE UNLOCKED. IS IT POSSIBLE TO FILL THE CUP WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE VALVE? NO! ASIDE FILLING IT FROM OTHER SOURCES. THE SCRIPTURE WAS NOT GOTTEN/WRITTEN UNTIL GOD INSPIRED THE SAINTS. SAME HERE, NO DOCTRINE SHOULD EXIST EARLIER THAN ITS COMPLETE EXTRACTION FROM THE SCRIPTURE. BUT TODAY, OUR DOCTRINAL CUPS ARE FILLED, YET THE WATER VALVE OF GOD REMAINED UNLOCKED. MANY DOCTRINES THAT FLIES AROUND OUR TABERNACLES ARE PRODUCTS OF OUR ALTAR CUSTODIANS OPINION, TEMPERAMENT, VALUES AND BELIEFS, NOT AN EXCERPT OF THE SCRIPTURE. LET ME SCRIBBLE SOMETHING YOU MAY BRAND CONTROVERSIAL: THE EARLY CHURCHS DOCTRINE HAS ALMOST (IF NOT COMPLETELY) GONE EXTINCT BECAUSE A FRACTION OF IT WAS HUMAN DOCTRINE. AND THEY CONTINUED STEDFASTLY IN THE APOSTLES DOCTRINE AND FELLOWSHIP... (ACTS 2:42). THEIR ATTENDANCE DAILY SOARS, GODS PRESENCE WAS CONSPICUOUS, YET THEIR DOCTRINE WAS BRANDED APOSTLES DOCTRINE. THE APOSTLES DOCTRINE PERMITS MR. A NOT TO WORK, YET HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO MR. BS WEALTH/INCOME. MR ANANIAS WHO POSSIBLY HAD A GOOD GRIP OF ECONOMICS AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT HAD A CONTRARY IDEA, HE KEPT SOME OF HIS PROCEEDS, THIS IS NOT A SIN IN ITSELF, HE SINNED WHEN HE LIED TO THE APOSTLES. I KNOW THAT MANY OF OUR ILL PROMULGATED DOCTRINES ARE CLOGS TO THE WHEEL OF REVIVAL. I KNOW OF A CHURCH WHO DOESNT PERMIT MEMBERS WHO HAVE MORE THAN A WIFE, AND WOMEN WHO ARE NOT FIRST WIFE TO TAKE HOLY COMMUNION. THIS PROHIBITION INCLUDE THOSE WHO IGNORANTLY DELVE INTO POLYGAMY BEFORE THEIR CALVARY EXPERIENCE, BUT HAVE GENUINELY MET CHRIST. I OFTEN ASK MYSELF, IF JESUS SAID WE SHOULD TAKE COMMUNION IN REMEMBRANCE OF HIM, AND WE CAREFULLY EXCOMMUNICATED A SET (WHO TRULY MADE MISTAKE, BUT HAVE REPENTED OF SUCH ACT) OF PEOPLE, IT INVARIABLY MEANS THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED, ISNT IT? HENCE, THEY SHOULD NOT BE QUALIFIED TO PAY TITHE, OFFERING, ETC. IF THEIR HANDS ARE DIRTY, WILL THEIR MONEY BE CLEAN? IF MARY MAGDALENE HAD BEEN A 21ST CENTURY CHRISTIAN, WONT WE KILL HER ZEAL WITH OUR QUESTIONABLE DOCTRINES? MANY OF THOSE PATRIACHS WOULD HAVE BEEN RELEGATED TO THE DUSTBIN. WHO WILL EVER GIVE MRS. RUTH - THE MOABITE A CHANCE? IF REVIVAL WILL NOT JUST BE A THEORETICAL GOAL, EVERY UNSCRIPTURAL DOCTRINES MUST GIVE WAY TO DIVINE LEADING AND TRUTH. SO MANY THINGS TO WRITE, BUT IM PRESSED OF TIME. BUT I CONCLUSIVELY WISH TO BRING MY POINT HOME BY HIGHLIGHTING TWO MAJOR FACTORS WHICH INDOCTRINATED FELLOWS MUST DROP: (1) FOREFATHERS GARBAGE. IN JOHN CHAPTER 1, THE SAMARITAN WOMAN ACTED BASED ON THE STATUS QUO, SHE LEARNT FROM HER FOREFATHERS THAT SAMARITANS AND JEWS ARE FOES. SAME WITH US, SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONABLE THINGS WE SEE ACROSS OUR ALTARS ARE OFTEN LINKED TO THE FORGOTTEN PAST, WE MET IT THAT WAY SYNDROME. CHRIST MET MONEY CHANGERS IN THE TEMPLE BUT HE EFFECTED A CHANGE, WHY CANT YOU LEARN FROM JESUS - OUR MASTER AND LORD? (2) DOGMA FACTOR. SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT JUST IGNORANT, THEY ARE HAPPY TO REMAIN SO. THEIR VEIL OF BLINDNESS IS THICK AND WELL SHIELDED. YOU MAY BE AS KNOWLEDGEABLE AS NICODEMUS, YET NAÏVE OF SOME BIBLICAL TRUTHS. WHATEVER GROUP YOU BELONG, BE INFORMED THAT DOCTRINE IN ITSELF CANT SAVE YOUR SOUL FROM HELL. AN ISOLATION OF IT FROM GOD AND BIBLICAL VIEWPOINT KILLS FASTER THAN DEATH. BE LIKE THE BEREAN CHRISTIANS (ACTS 17:11) WHO TAKES PAIN TO LIVE THEIR CHRISTIAN LIVES FROM THE PAGES OF THE SCRIPTURE. LEAVE YOUR WATERPOT LIKE THE SAMARITAN WOMAN WHO FOUND THE TRUTH AND BROADCASTED IT IMMEDIATELY. THE DOCTRINE OF SEGREGATION, LIMITATION, ABSURDITY, GODLESSNESS, ANTI CHRIST, AND SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE THE DOCTRINES OF HELL, DISPENSE THEM TODAY. GOD BLESS YOU. SHALOM...HM.
