We started the mass indoctrination and I must say it is another beautiful moment to learn a lot from God. We started with prayer of thanksgiving and we appreciate God for His faithfulness and love over our life which is highly needed because we need to give thanks to God for what He has done. We also ask for forgiveness of sinnfrom God in whatever way we have offended huwhichbis needed because we need to always ask for forgiveness if there is any way we have offended God.
We started with 1 John 4 verse 1.
1John.4.1 - Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. We should be careful of just believing every spirit because some are demonic spirit. in fact those false prophets have false spirit which we should not live with. We started with false teachers and people with false doctrine. We should live as Christian so as to show people the Christian lifestyle.
In 1 Corinthians 4 verse 5. 1Cor.4.5 - Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God. We should keep the steadfast faith continue because a time will come whereby false doctrine will be exposed. The darkness will surely be exposed one day no matter how long it might take. It will surely be exposed one day.
We should also know that there is a thinking ability for us to see. God look at our heart to see that if we are ready to serve him and that is coming from our hearts, then surely he will back us up surely. We need to stay through to the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Brother Eli made a lot of emphasis to something's that open my eyes to a lot of things which I must confess.
In 1Tim.6.3 - If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching. One thing I learnt is we should be careful of who we listen to. We should listen to Christ.
There will be a lot of things that will be said which will be false but we should listen to Christ and we can do that by studying our word on a daily basis. Let's look what the book of Timothy is also trying to say. It said anybody teaching false doctrine, we should not accept it. But most of the time you can't know the false doctrine of you don't know the true doctriny that's why we need to keep studying the word of God.
In Matthew 17 Vs 5. Matt.17.5 - While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!" We need to see that the only doctrines comes only from what is found in Christ. We should not listen to doctrine that is not of Christ because it has great damage and that can lead us to destruction. In mark 7 Vs 7
Mark.7.7 - They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'
Mark.7.8 - You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men." Not all doctrine we should practice because there are doctrines of men also and we should be conversant with it. The real truth is that we need to stay true to the really doctrine of God because that's the only way we can grow. Anything teaching apart from teaching of Christ is false and we should run away from it before it destroy us
