Bible Reading: "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ." Galatians 1: 6-7
A friend once told me that any preacher who motivates you as a minister occupying one of the five fold ministry. Who speaks four hundred words and reverence not Jesus; watch that preacher, his preaching calls for proper vetting and discernment. I tried to reason and study on that, wherefore I come to see clear and wide that every page of the Bible speaks about Jesus. Then if that is the truth, how could there be bones of contention on almost every single chapter in the Bible? The truth remains unchanged, heavens cannot rejoice when we keep on fixing self relevancy into the words of the scripture, tearing away the words that picture life into some sorts of gloves for punching or microphone for debating. John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." I go far to conclude that if the Christian hood still keep on misrepresenting and misinterpreting the word, that means they are yet to understand God.
We are in the era of Christians filled with strange spirit, God is still strange to some of us, so we couldn't get Him right easily and keep misrepresenting Him. This spiritual challenge is global; one denomination is tagged as super cult, other is called magicians, some are named idolaters, then who and where are the true worshippers? If you or your denomination is one of them, then you are failing Christ as per the great commission. We have to do something and put a stop to this irresponsibility.
No one wanted to be humiliated, no one is ready having the temperament, no one is there to preach love and extend it. It has become the issue of no one now, because the house is already divided. How do we think, the gospel of Christ got to the gentiles, the real idolaters, those who have originally nurtured their hearts hardened and minds blinded at first? The kingdom athletes then, never raced in this manner, the kingdom army then, never fought like this, the kingdom business men, never traded like this, the kingdom sowers never planted this way, how are we handling this commission? Paul and Silas were said to have turned the world upside down, but here we are busy turning the word upside down. "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also; Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus." Acts 17:2, 6-7. If two men could turned the whole world upside down converting souls, then those who have claimed to be with no heresy should be able to straight things out with the help of God. Brethren, let's do this and strip naked demonic kingdoms.
Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy in the fourth chapter and the first verse to be very cautious, never to fail Christ and fall a victim of the crooked doctrines. Heresy outer appearance looks pretty dull, sound cool and blinks appreciative, but that doesn't change it's true nature, it remains a false teaching cooked up by demonic inspiration or man's sagacity. Back to the garden of Eden, the serpent cooked up the whole thing, it was justified by eve and easily Adam couldn't think twice before been convinced and disobeyed God, that is how bad it has been working. The little while brief dialogue between the serpent and the woman was all about God and His words to mankind. Apostle Paul says, "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices." 2 Corinthians 2:11.
Satan is making real fool out of the church today, just as he did with the Galatians, because of their engagements in another doctrine.(Galatians 3: 1 - 8) Many minds have been blinded to some truth which will be revealed here:
1. History is different from mystery, not until we start seeing and treating them differently, we will keep on misleading ourselves and misrepresenting God's word. History cannot interprets mystery and vice versa. Mystery remains mystery forever, except it is opened and transformed to your revelation. So when preachers or teachers were unable to get the revelation, they put in self explanation and another gospel arises.
2. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
Proverbs 3: 5-6. Adulterated version of gospel becomes rampant and rigid everyday, because people rely on their credentials and gifts, less regarding the giver. Now they lean into their own understanding to interpret divine language. A revolution of misrepresentation will be in continuance as long as personal interpretation is being apply. The way and thought of God is always different from that of man. You can only get a perfect interpretation of what is written with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
3. Right standing brings about right understanding.
Jesus says in Matthew 13:11, "...because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given."
Mystery becomes plain to the insiders, to those who stand right, standing on their feet and not on foot. I will like to share with us an example from four anointed men standing differently. A letter was written on a flat table board and they were told to pronounce what they saw, the first man said '3', another said 'E', the third man said 'm' and the last said 'w'. They were all looking at same thing, but seeing different things because of the way they stood.
"And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly." Mark 8:23.
Jesus did healing, but the man was not seeing right at first. The man saw a lot, he did not saw man and tree, but trees and men. And Jesus says O man! How on earth will you see trees as men or men as trees walking. It took the man another second round to complete his healing, as it happens in securing divine healing, same thing also happens in getting divine interpretations. Don't stop learning when the Holy Spirit as not stop teaching, those who do that will always end up sharing parables and not revelations, and another gospel start spreading.
