THE TEACHING OF THE FALSE PROPHETS AND PASTORS

Their Topic: It is by Grace, and not by Works. The false prophets and teachers are right; but what is wrong is that they have given a different meaning and understanding to these biblical terminologies.

You see, to be saved or to gain admission into God’s Kingdom is based on GRACE only. Man has done nothing to deserve such an opportunity and favor. Man cannot do anything to pay for such an honor, because man himself and everything that man has is owned by God; therefore what can man offer to God as a price to purchase such a great gift? Man cannot do anything as a payment to obtain such a favor, because God is the source of man’s existence. The initial part of salvation – that is, GAINING ENTRY or ADMISSION into God’s Kingdom is all by GRACE, and becomes a done deal through our faith in Christ Jesus ONLY. 

This is the first step of salvation, which is achieved through the WORK of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

About 2,000 years ago in the province of Galatia some false teachers and prophets called Judaizes; who are a similitude of the current day false teacher and prophet gave a different meaning to the theology of salvation by GRACE. The Judaizes taught that faith in Christ Jesus was not enough to make a believer enter into God’s Kingdom; until he is circumcised, observed the Sabbath and observed the Passover. These doctrines of the Judaizes were in contradiction to Scripture; which teaches that our righteousness that permits us to GAIN ENTRY or ADMISSION into God’s Kingdom is by faith in Christ Jesus:
1. [17] For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith (Romans 1:17).”

WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR WEALTH? BY PASTOR AFOLARANMI

"The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it" (Proverbs 10:22 NIV).
When one is talking about wealth, one's mind quickly goes to the popular definition of the word "wealth" which a dictionary gives as "(possession of a) large amount of money, property, etc." Another meaning by an encyclopedia is "an accumulation of goods having economic value." It is simply referred to as "riches." 

However, this write-up is aimed at the broader meaning of the word - a large amount of something. This thing may be education, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, skill, talent, experience, intelligence, etc.

WHAT IS BACKSLIDING?

1 THE GORY TRIP FROM THE WORD TO THE WORLD! 

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him."1 John 2:15.


2 THE DEMAS WALK:
"For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia."2 Timothy 4:10.

3 A SIGN OR PROOF OF OVERTHROWN FAITH, IN THE FACE OF PROMISES.
"Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some."2 Timothy 2:18.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SUNDAY 25 MAY 2014 - THEME: LUST: ENEMY OF GREATNESS BY PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE

MEMORY VERSE: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2

READ: 1 JOHN 2:15-17

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Your Divine Defence

“And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan” (2 Kings 6: 13). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In our Focal Scripture, the King of Syria sent spies to go and spy on Elisha, in a bid to fetch him. Those spies eventually found Elisha's location. That means, Elisha was visible, available, and had no visible security.

Notice that although they knew Elisha's location, they could not harm him or dislocate his destiny. They saw that he was available, but he wasn't vulnerable. Elisha may not have had any visible defence, yet he wasn't defenceless. He was visible, yet he was untouchable.

READ: GENESIS 17:1-7

1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
