Legalism in the Christian Faith

Do not do, do not do, do not do, Don't! Don't touch! Don't taste! It is a pattern legalism. It is a pattern that provides a list of dos and don'ts in the effort to achieve a state of obedience away from fear of failure of disobedience. It is based on one's capacity to navigate the corners, the avenues, the lanes and the stages of the law and finish up successful.  But what exactly is the right direction for Christianity in regard attaining righteousness that God delights in? 22  Since you died with Christ  to the elemental spiritual forces of this world,  why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules:   21  “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”?   22  These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish  with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. Colossians 2:20-22 (NIV) The liberty that we have received in Christ has the capacity to set us free from the legal boundaries whose results can

What knowledge do you seek?

Knowledge is good, it is life and hope. They that possess knowledge shall have a place to stand.I am seriously on a mission to establish the fine roots of some issues that raise controversy. Before then, I am obliged to find out the basis of knowledge under which controversy arises. I bring to the world a topic of consideration; Spirit and contemporary life at a glance. First I must confess my new insight on knowledge and Holy Spirit impartation.  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.  Hosea 4:6  H(KJV) Those in search of knowledge must be careful so that such knowledge will not bring controversy to the very foundation they profess to anchor their lives on.For instance, the above scripture is about Israel.In Hosea's time, this nation had turned from the knowledge of God.They did not hearken t

GOSPEL EN RADICALISATION; BACK HOME

Someone said radical.He said radicalisation. If it's on the physical; I would rest my case here. Many people have walked the path of Christianity, we are walking on this journey too. This time, letting the world know that we are born again.And I keenly observed with concern, the uncompromising steps of the first apostles.They oriented not into a form of godliness but into a call in acted and driven by the truth of the gospel whose power ring daily in their hearts.       Back to the word I introduced to us; Radicalisation. This is the age of spiritual revolution.I foresee men and women who tire of following a blind talk and are unapologetically turning out to be disciples of Christ and not of some religious orientation. Remember this is the age where you can't differentiate between a disciple and a fan. So what's up with this thing called radicalisation? It's simply getting dissatisfied with the current trends of compromise and complacency and seeking for truth found in

Apprehending the Days

S pirit contemporary is a word that has recently struck my mind.Of course I have always been conscious of the main concerns of this matter.Yet it had never so clearly orchestrated my heart. The truth is, those who believe in God and have faith in the Lord Jesus have a great share of nobility and a royal inheritance that can only be apprehended through balancing the life that exists in us and for us.Spirit contemporary comes in here. You can not be elevated to the place of full spiritual exploration and truth exploitation if you still remain adamant to the very issues that are undeniably real in every naturally existing man. We are doomed to failure if we deny the existence of those very trivial and  contagious issues in our contemporary lives.       For instance,it is normal for every growing individual across both genders to  experience a beginning of sexual activity particularly in their teenage lives.That's a reality that spirituality does not deny either.However the perspectiv

NULLIFY YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY

Everyone protects their privacy! No one wants to expose themselves to the world. Yes, and that all right.Yet today I am compelled to bring something that might sound strange in your ears.I take off with a scripture so that I may be rightly understood. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness,we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light , we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His son cleanses us from all sin. 1John 1:6 NKJV As a Christian believer,this scripture is very applicable in our lives. The progress of our relationship with God depends on our closeness for fellowship and consistent interaction with His grace.It is a valuable choice to walk in the light for there Christ Jesus shines for us .   I began with bringing out an issue of confidentiality. This term stands for every matter to do with privacy. And I said that many people are so much conscious of their privacy. Yes and for

GRACE AND PURITY

Image
F or the  grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us  that  denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age Titus 2:11-12 NKJV The grace of God is the foundation of being justified by faith. For by grace you have been saved  through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8 NKJV The church of today, to begin with, is sustained by the grace of God.This is the word in many preacher's sermons who are conversant with the work of  the new testament Gospel according to Apostle Paul. Personally I love the gospel of grace because it is the true anchor for the church of God. In fact I am moved by the way Paul presents it to the churches he wrote to. It is clearly evident and without any doubts that Paul's ministry to the gentile world was founded on Christ by the  grace of God.  The power of God is revealed to those that never deserved it, Salvation becames establ

Working unto the righteousness of God

Everyone who believes become a slave to something for a foundation. Today many believe, and I also believe. Nevertheless, the question at the table is; what do you believe? I am convinced and more so convicted that true faith brings a certain assurance of the subject. Today if you claim to believe start claiming to hold onto the subject of foundation and let it out clearly.   Will you start building a foundation on untrue things?Untruthfulness will build the walls also.Be careful.You can not contradict the materials of the foundation with those of the body. They must agree. If you choose right then righteousness will be the foundation and the building will stand strong made up on true things. The same way, many Christians today are struggling to build their faith simply because the foundation is errored. They might have built on denominations and literal religious performance rather than on Christ Jesus the Cornerstone.Others are so much obsessed with self-righteousness that they
