CAN WE TRUST THE WORD OF GOD?
In life today, we are living by ignorance because we are
all pretenders.We pretend to know; to understand; to live and die by the word
of God. Sometimes, we want to do too much than just follow Jesus’s principles.
We confuse God. The question that comes to mind is, “Why are we doing the
things we are doing?”, “Do we not trust the word of God that we resort to other
things – earthly things?”
Ignorance in the context of the church means failing to
commit to prayer times; not teaching their
children the value of worshiping
God; not being honest with themselves; wanting to please the Pastor or Bishop.
Hurting each other with deeds and words as well as failing to the truth are
best examples of how ignorance rules the lives of the members of the church.
Besides, we have so many opportunities to work for our
mighty God. He has given all of us, to each and everyone,a proper time to
worship – to praise and glorify His name. Time wasted will never come back. It
will never return. Be wise.The Bible has recommended that we be wise at all
times. Therefore, wake up and shake that IGNORANCE off. Yeah, people today are
in the business of consuming wrong perceptions. Everywhere you go people in their
social life are consumed with the desire to get money, by hook or crook.
Yeah, there are so many crooks even in the church of God.
People do not want to earn decent living by being honest. They want to steal
from God. In society, we hear stories about commissions of inquiry – investigations
into the wrong-doing by people in suits.
However, at the Baptist Church, we have been blessed!Pastor
Peter John Cornelius and his team – all men and women of God – take care of
people both spiritually and financially. They convince the pagan to Christian.
This team is implementing the mission of the church – to transform people’s
lives; to save souls; to protect ordinary people from IGNORANCE.
John
3:16 speaks of the power of love that our powerful God has given to us his
beloved son in order for all of us to be saved from the sin. The Claremont
Baptist Church is now a great place whereby the word of God is preached with
sincerity, and the greatest of honesty. There is no doubt in the minds of his
believers in Cape Town that Reverend Pastor Peter John Cornelius has received an extremely powerful gift. He
continues to share with us his gift from Heaven. He is honest and sincere in
every word he is uttering when he preaches.
Some people in this world believe that being a Christian
is waste of time. They say,“Christians are poorer than pagans”. Yes, there are
pastors that we see on television screens every day that are millionaires.But
the truth is you cannot buy the word of God. It is not for sale. It does not
matter how rich you are; how many millions you have; if you do not live and die
by the word of God your life is meaningless. You are forever in pain – the pain
of IGNORANCE.
The Bible says, “What shall profit the man to gain the
world and loose his soul?”In order to survive on earth, we need to work and
earn decent salaries. We are talking about clean money. Well-deserved money. Not
stolen money. No blood must be shed before we earn our living. That is not
Godly ways. The word of God is more than money!
The pagans can boost as much as they like. The angels in
Heaven won’t open the gates them. They will rot in hell. Money cannot by you
love. Money cannot buy you happiness. Money cannot buy you salvation. Money
will be left behind during the D-Day. All your riches will mean nothing during
the last day. But praise and worship will you allow to enter the Heavens and
eat with Angels and their God, your God.
Already, if you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior,your
suffering will be no more. For the no-believers Sunday is the day of enjoyment;
the day of spending time drinking alcohol and feasting with pagan friends. For
us, Christians, Sunday is the day of our Lord.It is a special day to recognize
the work God has done for us during the week. We say, “Thank you Dear Lord”.
Thank you for giving seven days to do our work. Thank you for giving a gift of
life. Thank you for giving energy, mind and spirit. We do not need to drink
beer or whisky to gain spirit. Our spirit in the Bible: it is not in the
bottle. Ours is in the prayer. Ours is in rejoicing with the Lord. Ours is in
praise and worship.
The
Bible declares in Acts 19:12 and Mark 16:17 the power of
healing.Here, we read about healing and deliverance. Jesus Christ used to
heal, bless and deliver the people who believed in his power. Nowadays, those
powers are transferred to the man of God,Reverend Pastor Peter John Cornelius and
his humble team. They have a power of the true God. Reverend Pastor Peter is
healing some people spiritually. This means he changes a no believer to be a
born-again. He is also helping others financially and even physically. It is a
gift from God.
Healing
is for people who have faith in the power of the universe. Coping with physical
challenge and leading a healthy long life means our Lord is in your life. Refer
to Romans 10:17 in the Bible. You will learn more about
deliverance.If there is
a lack of peace in your families, Reverend Pastor
Peter John Cornelius is there for you.
Refer to 1
Corinthians 13:13 speaks of faith hope and love. But the greatest of them all is love. At
Baptist Church, love is shared by helping out the community. Somewhere out
there, there is someone in need. The church has a responsibility to discover those people. Each and every month,
people received some package of foods. When are together, even in camping,
during sports day, we share stories of love, stories of faith and stories of
hope. Even the Bible says this, “it is better to help people who are in need”.
All in all, in many ways,
life today is far more riskier than in the past. Yet people find it difficult
to commit themselves to the church.
People must know that with every risk there are consequences. The
Baptist Church can help you deal with the consequences, and can help you to
avoid risk. The church through its leadership, its prayer and its power of
healing, it can save your life. For sure, God has transferred some
powers to Pastor Peter Cornelius and his team to do what God wanted for His
people. Say thanks to Him for giving a
wonderful gift to Pastor Peter John. In fact, say “Thank you Lord, oh God for
giving me life”.
Say “Thank you” for protecting me against the pagans and their
pangas. Please, repent. Reverend Pastor Peter John Cornelius wants to reach all
of us,during the services, so that you can get access to God’s blessings. We
need to trust in the word of God. The doors of the
Baptist Church are open for everyone. Come and claim your prize. The prize of repentance
and the Glory of God is for you and your family. Humble yourself, kneel down
and pray: you are going to be raised even higher.
Be blessed.
