Misconceptions You Should Clear Of Your Mind As Saints Of God by Highcuerayte: 9:08am On Nov 29, 2015
Brethren and family of God, i greet you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who loves us and gave himself for us,an everlasting redemption. As we all understand and see before us today, the glaring evidence of the times of the end out of which is the readiness to believe lies and the tendency to tell these lies,a grotesque distortion of truth, by our so called men of God. Perhaps, God of men.

I find it then a neccessity and as well,a great importance to open our eyes to these lies being told to rob us of the Truth. These lies, in various degrees, on the surface might seem "contemporary" harmless but nevertheless its end result,collectively, are objectively destructive.

Here are few, I have noticed in Nigeria as a Nigerian.


1. Prophecy: Over time and time again have heard and read people misinterpreting the word "Prophecy." In fact,the only thing that propelled me to create this thread is the news about a Nigerian pastor,whose name I have no time to memorize, claiming to prophesy the possibility of Nigerians stoning her president anytime soon. This I laugh at. Prophecy defined is God's message to his people (The Jews) wether of endurance,hope or repentance, a message that brings them near to him and help them trust in himvand not a prediction from evaluated analysis of available facts.

Another form of distorting the meaning of prophecy is one our Pentecostals brother say, "I prophesy into someone life here tonight." Well, this is not prophecy but prayer. You are praying not prophesying. Just praying.

We need to start clearing these lies,the reason for this will explain itself fully in the next six years.

NOTE: If you believe in the Son of God,you are by definition a Jew.


2. Worship: Conceptually, the precedent has been, going to church, jumping up, clapping your hands and dancing your life out. While this may sounds like it, it's totally different from it. The former abasing, the latter fulfilling.Worship is a lifestyle of sacrificing your body, a living sacrifice. To worship is to serve, serving God you do so with your spirit. In saying spirit, i mean living by the law of the Spirit. Discussing with a woman,she said "I can't go to a church where one don't dance and shake her body till she get exhausted " Such has been the effect of misunderstanding.


3. Faith: Sparkled many confusion. Alterations has been made several times. Each to suit his purpose.End result, collectively are similar. No word I surnized as suffered abused than the word Faith. Pastor prayed for you and the prayer is not answered pastor will shift the blame on you saying you don't have faith. Whereas Faith is simply Trusting God.

Of course there are many more like Salvation, Love and Grace. But time won't allow me to write on those. So if you have something to say on them kindly do.

For every 'misconception' you imagine to clear and clarify, you should with scriptures back your correction lest you be adding more error to errors

Criticism is a misconception: we must read not to understand others but to understand ourselves.

Not clever? You pick imagined misconceptions and you expect others to believe yours without scriptures? You have a sense of humor. The reason you can't support yours is because you are scared of being corrected.

Before talking down on other believers, remember Pride comes before fall

Nice and well reasoned advice. Could you share your thoughts on other aspects of our faith which have been misunderstood, like the gift of tongues? You could do that next Sunday.
