THE TRUE GOSPEL AND "THE ANOTHER" GOSPEL

THE TRUE GOSPEL AND "THE ANOTHER" GOSPEL

The existence of another gospel is as long as the existence of Paul the apostle. It means that the rivalry between the true gospel of the grace of Christ and that of another gospel has been for about two millennial.
The pure gospel has been adulterated to coin out a gospel of convenience and tolerance;
The gospel of truth has been tilted to sooth moral men;
The gospel of sound doctrine has been softly maneuvered to accommodate frivolities;
This was what Apostle Paul experienced then and he was not happy with. "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(KJV) The same trend has found its way into our contemporary time.

_The true gospel teaches total freedom from sin but the "another gospel" teaches the impossibility of total freedom from sin
_The true gospel teaches continuous abiding in the Lord but the "another gospel" teaches careless oscillation between Christ and sin
_The true gospel teaches that grace is the means we obtained freedom from sin but the "another gospel" teaches that grace is a licence to sin
_The true gospel reveals JESUS CHRIST as the ONLY way to God but the "another gospel" reveals JESUS CHRIST and good deeds (or morals) as alternative means to God
_The true gospel of reveals JESUS CHRIST as the only name to pray with  but the "another gospel" reveals Christ and others (e.g. Mary, Angels etc) as alternative names of praying to God
-The true gospel reveals JESUS CHRIST as the crucified lamb on the cross but the "another gospel" has it that JESUS CHRIST was not crucified on the cross (some said He didn't die at all)
_The true gospel reveals JESUS CHRIST as the coming king but the "another gospel" has it that has come and will not come again
_The true gospel states it that it is impossible to serve God and mammon but the "another gospel" has a confusing way of making it possible to serve God and still hold on to your mammon
_The true gospel has it that the Bible has 66 books altogether (39 in the old testament and 27 in the new testament) but the "another gospel" will say there are some books that are missing out in the 66
_The true gospel reveals JESUS CHRIST as the final sacrificial lamb but the "another gospel" acknowledges Christ as a sacrificial lamb but still hold on to the killing of animals and burning of incense
_The true gospel recognises sin no matter how small it is but the "another gospel" has a way of classifying or belittling sin (i.e. Some sins are insignificant or irrelevant or of no consequence)
_The true gospel has a standard for dressing and appearance but the "another gospel" has mingled it as though it doesn't matter
_The true gospel makes the sinners know that their end is in hell but the "another gospel" in deceit gives a consoling hope of purgatory to sinners (as though God is partial but He is not)
_The true gospel reveals that HOLINESS is the only pass that will allow you enter through the pearly gate but the "another gospel" has it that good works without holiness can still grant you an entrance
_The true gospel never compromise even in the midst of thousands of opposition but the "another gospel" is flexible as to allow opposition prevail on it
_The true gospel assures the believers eternal rewards if and only if the faith is kept undenied and resolute to the last breath but the "another gospel" has it that if you have once kept the faith, it doesn't matter even if you are off-track when death came, eternal rewards awaits you
_The true gospel have got no room for jokes and frivolities but the "another gospel" has created a space for frivolities and jokes (even if it cost them to lie to laugh, they don't mind)
_The true gospel established that apart from the initial evidence of speaking in tongues after Holy Ghost baptism, power and boldness accompany too but the "another gospel" prioritize speaking in tongues as the evidence of Holy Ghost baptism (to the extent that some are thought how to speak) and they still cringe at the simple buzzing of a house fly (how then will they stand when devil is passing by let alone knocking?)
_The true gospel declares believers and the world as antiparallel vectors but the "another gospel" still finds a way to harmonise the world (& its deeds) with the believer's
_The true gospel teaches that baptism is by total or complete immersion in water but the "another gospel" has alternative means of baptism by sprinkling of water, making sign of the cross on the forehead, etc as against immersion
_The true gospel teaches marriage, no divorce & no re-marriage (except one partner dies) but the "another gospel" gives room for oscillation or multiplication of spouse
_The true gospel warns against adding or subtracting form the Holy Scriptures but the "another gospel" has a way of bringing in or removing something from the Holy Scriptures by human reasoning

"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:8 (KJV)
There is a great danger (of hell fire) to those who decided to twist the word of God to suit his own desire. Therefore, I implore any one who is victim or propagator of any other gospel apart from the true gospel to repent and follow the true gospel

"But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." Galatians 1:11-12(KJV)

"Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not." Galatians 1:20 (KJV)

The incomprehensible beauty my Bible had told me of
Then my living is not in vain

If I finally find myself in that celestial city
Where the streets are made of gold
And I hear welcome home at last, enter into eternal rest
It is only then I can boldly say that "my living on this side of heaven is not in vain"

THE TRUTH

THE TRUTH 3

TRUTH IS FALLEN IN THE STREET

Oh Truth! The authenticity of fact
Oh Truth! The validation of reality
Oh Truth! The immaculate idea
Oh Truth! The originality of precepts

Oh Truth! Sold out in quest for fame
Oh Truth! Given off because of fleshly demand
Oh Truth! Relegated because of power
Oh Truth! Abandoned because of riches

Truth is taken with levity
Truth is fallen in the street
Truth is misconstrued as a fallacy
Truth is considered outdated

TRUTH has lost its stance
Many have chosen the antiparallel of TRUTH. Truth have been traded with
Falsity and corruption have found there way into dominance

TRUTH has been betrayed by many devotee.
Hope have been dashed and betrayed
Insincerity is of more preference
And TRUTH is treated as if its valueless

"And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for TRUTH IS FALLEN IN THE STREET, and EQUITY CANNOT ENTER
... and the LORD SAW IT, AND IT DISPLEASED HIM that there was NO JUDGMENT". Isaiah 59:14-15 (KJV) 

BUT IT IS HAPPENED UNTO THEM

"BUT IT IS HAPPENED UNTO THEM"

The scriptures talked about it
I've heard it in stories.
It happen in films
I have also seen it in real life
"... the sow (pig) that was washed to her wallowing in the mire"
It is a pitiable condition to be. It is an unpalatable scene to behold. When a well washed pig decides to go back to the dirts from which she was cleansed. When this happens:
- It renders the labour of the washer useless
- It creates an impression of ingratitude
- It makes mockery of the owners efforts
- It gives the younger ones license to follow in like manner
- It grieve the owner
This case of "the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire" explains the condition of a backslider. It means he has been a Christian before who believes the totality of the word of God but along the line went back to the evil he has once rejected and renounced. It us an evil predicted to be preeminent in the last days. Many a youth have followed this abjuratory lifestyle of pigs.
Backsliding is a snare and a trap set by the devil to pull down or bring back one who has been on the right track of the truth. It is aimed at making him refute the totality of the truth he has once believed, preached and defended. It weakens such a one's spiritual understanding to the extent that it becomes difficult for him/her to agree that his new style of belief is wrong. It emboldens its victims such that they can defend the present error publicly more than the way they could even have done for the original they once had.
It is a situation deserving an inciting pity when a vibrant Christian suddenly turns around to belief a form of gospel that is against the genuineness of the gospel.
This cancer of backsliding eats up the possibility of returning to the original truth in its victims and leaves them with an a large space filled with falsified gospels. The victim finds no reason to see that he has changed his direction of path. And that danger lies ahead in this new route.
The major reason the devil is doing this is just to make those who could have been strong pillars in the house of God to become caterpillars. The devil makes use of the spiritual noesis to destroy that which is true by simply altering the truth they have already known. This can only be done in two ways - either by adding a little to it to make it look like what is not or by removing something from it to make it accommodating.
Little do the victims know that they have given off their mansions in heaven and that they have started a foundation of eternal pains and regrets.
It pains me when I hear of people who have been fervent in the Lord and decides to turn away from the Lord. Though I know there will be falling away before Christ returns the second time but I know that His grace is still sufficient to see those who are determined through.

"I have decided to quit the way of sin and Satan
I have given a quit notice to the world and its lust
I have lost it all, the sensitivity to sin
I have bidden devil farewell never to be entangled

I have decided to follow the path of the cross
I have counted the cost and I cannot give up
I hold on to the totality of the scripture
I have vowed a vow and will not recount

I have chosen the path of life, Lead me Lord
I have declared Christ as Lord, see me Through
I have a crown to wear, Redeemer, hold me
The fort I hold, Your grace is enough for me"

THE PREEMINENCE OF HOLINESS

THE PREEMINENCE OF HOLINESS

True Oh true brother!
Holiness was their watchword when they began
They could do nothing without approaching the throne of grace
Their holy living with grace got them special anointing
But the anointing got intoxicated along the way
That the foundation of holiness was dropped
Before long grace fell of their life
Unknown that they also had fallen off grace
They continue alone with anointing
They were not conscious of the two wings
On which the anointing lies
Holiness and grace they refuted
Alas! It was over when they passed away
They thought it was the matter of anointing
Until they arrived the pearly gate
Anointing is needed on earth was on the inscription he saw
But boldly underlying was HOLINESS IS THE KEY TO ENTER HERE (HEAVEN)
Down they had to go along the rail
Never knew how all got drained
Gently down the dangerous steep they move
Unknown to them that the time of grace has expired
They thought it was the matter of anointing
But they forgot that the foundation of holiness and grace should never be neglected
That if they want their anointing to carry them to a holy place (heaven)
Their heads must not lack the ointment of grace
Neither should their be a trace of unholiness in their life
Unfortunately, they have found themselves in the dreadful path
To a place where they will holy men never go
True is it that they had the anointing but because holiness was missing
They missed heaven and sank down in hell

There are more HOLY men in Heaven than ANOINTED men.
There are SOME Anointed men in hell but NO Holy man in hell.
HOLINESS is a MUST... ANOINTING is a Plus.
Therefore, be holy, live holy & stay holy
