In my years as a Christian I have been through lots of rides, some smooth and others quite rough.

One basic principle that has come out of this learning process is , follow JESUS and him alone. If we do this we will never fail in our Christian walk.

God yearns for a direct 1:1 relationship with each and everyone of us. To this regard he has give us his Spirit and his Word.

The devil has one purpose throughout the ages and this is to remove our focus from Christ and concentrate on tradition, dogmas, creeds and doctrines in a bid to cause as much confusion as possible and to lead the sheep astray. This is why we have over 40,000 denominations and still growing.


The early apostles preached Jesus and him alone , it was such a simple gospel , such that there was no need for bible schools, seminaries and universities of theology. Despite this, we see that thousands were saved and many mighty miracles and feats were accomplished for the glory of GOD.

Acts 17:6
New King James Version (NKJV)
6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.


How many of us are turning the world upside down or is the truth not that our SALT is so stale and useless that it is not fit for anything but to be trampled under the foot of men. Yes, sadly this is the condition of our church today and the punishment for not following the leading of Christ.

The apostles preached the gospel of the Christ which is the the goodness about God's kingdom which will soon destroy all the kingdoms of this world and replace them, starting a new era of perpetual peace and righteousness.

If there is one thing that SATAN wants to do in the body of Christ, it is to ensure that we do not really come to know the ONE and TRUE GOD. He has so muddled up the nature and attributes of GOD that the ensuing confusion continues unabated and millions are kept out of the reach of this simple and free gospel. But Jesus had one major purpose in mind when he came which is :
New International Version (©1984)
Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent - John 17:3


False apostles, bishops, teacher and prophets are now in the midst of the church hence the phrase ' the Man of SIN ' bringing in damnable heresies that undermine and redirect our attention from God to false idols and a false Christ.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I say follow Jesus. Please do , your very life depends on it, do not listen to these theologians and so called bible scholars, listen to the still small voice of the Holy Spirit. All you need in your walk with God is the Spirit, your Bible and Prayer.


New International Version (©1984)
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God - Hebrews 12:2


Do not seek for the approval of men, seek for the approval of GOD even if it goes against the mainstream apostate church.

Proverbs 29:25 Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.

Remember when you come to knowledge of the truth, many who you once thought of as brothers will put you out of their churches, hate you and even ostracise you permanently.

".. but the righteous are as bold as a lion - Proverbs 28:1b

9. Live a Holy life of obedince
