Hello brethren, peace be with you all. Am delighted for the doctrines that is going on with Bro. Eli. Today let me present to you what I learnt from our study on zoom on Mass Indoctrination Of Our Lord Jesus Christ Day 11.
If we call ourselves to be followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, and within the church in which we are members there are certain things we need to learn how to do willingly and not be commanded by God.
Philemon 1:21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Isaiah 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
A vow is a thing that is done voluntarily and not be forced because a vow is a thing when we alter them we must make sure we fulfill them. Vow should be done by the person free will and not by force like some churches do.
Numbers 30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
Married is not a sin because the Apostle Peter and other Apostles also married, but you can vow not to get married like Apostle Paul.
1 Corinthians 9:5 Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
Things we say when we vow must be fulfilled. Rather not vow and not fulfilling them.
Ecclesiastes 5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Ecclesiastes 5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Tithing is a thing we do in our free will and not by command. For whatever you contribute should be a thing from your heart.
2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
The Acts 4:36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
Acts 4:37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
Acts 5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
God like been glorified, so let us offer a sacrifice of praise always to God.
Psalms 50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.
Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
We are to give thanks to God in all out situations.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
When contributing or offering help we should do it with our heart and not like how the hypocrite do.
Matthew 6:2-4Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Thanks for sharing with me
