TITLE: IS THE CHURCH
REPROBATE?
INTRODUCTION: THE UNITY
OF FAITH, A PRE-RAPTURE NECESSITY
While Jesus was leaving
this world and his disciples, only one prayer he made for them. In John 17:21 Jesus prayed to the father that
‘’they all may be one, as thou Father art in me, and I in thee, that they also
may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.’’ What it
means to be one was exemplified in the matter of The Tower of Babel. Genesis
11:6: ‘’And the Lord said, Behold the people is ONE, and they have ALL ONE
LANGUAGE; and this they begin to do, and now nothing will be retrained from
them, which they have imagine to do.’
The church must learn
to speak one language now, and must stop casting aspersion on each other, but
rather learn from and appreciate each other.
The truth contained in
this little book is not the opinion of the writer. They are purely the words of
the Spirit to the churches, if any man thinks otherwise, the Lord shall receive
even this to him, PHILLIPIANS 3:15. The truth contains here is purely revelation
information. It is neither a doctrinal issue, but an attempt by the HOLY SPIRIT
to unite the Church in this close of time before the rapture. If you are in
doubt of any truth revealed here kindly ask THE HOLYGHOST. Before you start to

SUNDRY CONFUSED ISSUES
IN CHURCHES
1)THE WILL
OF GOD OR DESTINY
One of the
most confusing messages in the Christian circle today is the subject of
Destiny. Pastors, I guess, simply do not realize how confused they leave their
congregation whenever they teach on the subject. I once and I am still a victim
of this teaching, hence the need to talk about it.
While in my
Secondary school days, the subject of University never crossed my mind because
none of my siblings went, so it was never a discussion in our house. But after
I became born again in 1996, the idea of University began to occur in my brain.
But I had been taught of the need to seek to know the course I needed to read
in school. Or better still, we had been told to always seek to know God’s perfect
will for us. With this mindset, I went into many days of praying for God to
specifically tell me the course to read in the University. After praying for
years without an answer, I quietly told God to use my pastor then to guild me.
‘’Sir, please, I want to put in for JAMB, what course should I register for?’’
‘’Are you a science student?’’, my pastor asked. I told him I was an Arts
student. He simply looked for a selling course in Arts, and recommended Law.
I registered
for Law, although with some internal conflict, because those who know me
closely felt I was too taciturn to succeed in Law. I bought their reasoning,
and fell in love with Accounting. But my pastor disallowed me because he was
strongly convinced that Law would sell more than Accountancy.
I finally
wrote the Law recommended subjects with an aggregate score of 233.
Unfortunately for me, that year Uniben needed to combine two sections, so the
competition was keen and 233 was not admitted for Law in 2002. My brother in-law,
who also has his own concept of the Will of God, did a change of course for me,
and I was admitted in English and Literature. I wanted to rewrite JAMB so I
could put in for Accountancy, because at that time, accountancy was only the
course that appealed to me. My Aunty and the husband advised me against that.
And I finally enrolled for English and Literature. But all through my
undergraduate days, I was simply an unhappy man.
Now, the instigator of my four years of sorrow I
had in school was because I did not fully understand what I was actually
taught, or I was mislead by my teacher. My pastor who asked me to put in for
Law probably has a better understanding of the subject, but did not teach me.
The scripture that is often used by our pastors to talk about the Will of God
or Destiny is found in Jeremiah 29:11. It reads ‘’for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD,
thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.’’ (King James Version).
The first thing revealed in this scripture is that God has a plan for His
children, a plan which He (God) knows. Another thing is that God’s plan for his
children makes for peace and not evil. To appreciate this we must understand
that every good thing come from God, JAMES 1:17, PROVERB 10:22. So any
legitimate thing we are presently doing that brings us and others good is from
God. The injunction of God is ‘’whatever (legitimate) your hand finds to do, do
it with all your might, ECCLESIASTES 9:10. This does not however exclude the
fact that God could have a specific thing for some people. Yes, he does. But
when he does, He would tell the person, and not the other way round JEREMIAH
1:4-10. ‘’ then the word of the Lord came
unto me saying, before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou
camest forth out..... GET MY BOOK ON create space.com Ebook
