KNOW THE TRUTH AND BE FREE - 2 - HOW TO KNOW A LIVING CHURCH!

 John 8:32, "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" Friends, what I am about to share with you here may be strange and difficult for some people to believe and accept, especially those who are not ready to accept the rugged truth in this end time as the Bible has rightly said. That is why the Bible says if you know the truth the truth shall set you free. Many people, including many Christians are in bondage because they lack the knowledge of the Truth! It is the knowledge of the Truth that will deliver you from ignorance, errors and falsehood and at last take you into heaven. Beloved, let me freely tell you, there is a huge IGNORANCE and UNBELIEF that has taken over the Church of Christ today. Many churches that we are seeing around us these days are really operating under a heavy spiritual darkness knowingly or unknowingly! Nowadays, if you see one living Church in an area, there will be about a 100 dead churches there! Jesus greatly lamented over the Church of Sardis that was dead spiritually even though it was operating as if it were alive. Rev 3:1-3. This is the same condition of many churches around the world today. Many churches we see around us these days are spiritually dead because of their system, messages, teachings, life styles, beliefs, to mention a few. The issue now is How can we know or identify a living Church in the midst of thousands of dead ones which Satan has established to deceive humanity and carry them to hell? In the first place, the Bible says by their fruit you will know them. Mt 7:16. Now, this is how you can know a living Church or a dead Church -

1. Any Church where the Pastor or the Bishop is busy preaching about prosperity, breakthroughs, success, deliverance without hammering on the Salvation of souls and the kind of life that will take one to heaven, is a typical dead Church we are talking about. You may have a lot of wealth, riches and breakthroughs but your soul is not saved. What will it profit you if you gain the whole world and lose your precious soul in hell? Mk 8:36,37. Look, if you are a member or worshipping in this kind of Church you are lost and your soul is heading to hell fire except you boldly and courageously come out of that evil and deceiving Assembly!

 2. If you are a member of any Church where the Reverend is assuring you that there is a middle ground or place that you will go after death instead of heaven or hell, you better run away from there before it is too late for you. The Bible has revealed that there are only two places people go after death - heaven or hell. Lk 16:19-31. There is nothing like purgatory as some religious organizations are advocating to their members. Those who are genuinely born again and live in holiness and righteousness to the end will go to heaven while those who refuse to repent but Continue in their sins and argument until they die, Will go down to hell where they will suffer with Satan for ever! This is the gospel and the rugged truth you must know.

3. Any Church where members go to market for their normal businesses after service without obeying God's commandments in Ex 20:8, Jere 17:19-22, you should run away from that Church. The Lord Jehovah has seriously warned that No personal work should be done on the Lord's Day, which is Sunday except His work such as preaching, praying, reading the Bible, doing evangelism etc. Any Church where Christians are doing things contrary to these is not the Church of Christ!

4. Any Church or Ministry where the Leadership has gone ahead to establish a football Club as we see in the corporate world today, has become a Dead Church no matter the kind of anointing that is flowing there. This is a rugged truth! Painful?? Football game, for your info, is an Anti-Christ Institution which Satan is using to unite the whole world in preparation for the One world Government under the Anti-Christ that will soon begin. So any Church or Ministry that is so interested in football game and encouraging their members to go ahead playing or participating or sponsoring it, you better disassociate yourself from the ministry, you are on your way to hell. Don't say nobody told you!

5. Any Church where the Pastor is encouraging his members to dress any how, saying it doesn't matter how you appear that it is the heart that God is looking at, that is a totally Dead Church! That is, any Church or Ministry where the Leadership embraces worldliness, encouraging members especially women to dress as they please like Jezebel (2Kgs 9:30), wearing trousers, praying in the Church without covering their head as the Bible has said (1Cor 11:5,6), is a dead Church No matter the miracles that are happening through the Bishop. The Bible says we should not be conformed to this world but rather, we should be transformed by the renewing of our mind so that we will be conformed to the image of Christ and that we may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Rom 12:1-2. The Bible describes holy living before God as a reasonable service. That is, any Church that doesn't believe in holiness of life, both inwardly and outwardly, run away from there because you are on your way to destruction! This is the gospel truth.

 6. Further, any Church or Ministry where the Pastor or Reverend is still wedding a brother and a Sister with a wedding ring instead of Bible which is the word of God, is a dead Church! Look, the day God brought Eve to Adam and joined them together, did He give them any ring as a symbol of their union? Gen 2:21-24. The ring people are using in marriages is a deception from the kingdom of darkness to pollute and corrupt your marriage so that it will be full of problems and to defile your marriage bed and stop you from going to heaven at last! Heb 13:4. This is a deep revelation that many Bishops, General Overseers, Prophets, Apostles and sincere Christians don't know! Frankly speaking, a true Christian, a heavenly minded Christian should have nothing to do with Jewelries of any kind! All these are devices from Satan to defile your body which is the Temple of God to stop you from making it to heaven. And millions of people don't know this! Remember, the devil is fighting the Church seriously especially in this end time to make sure that it is corrupt and defiled and should not be able to fulfil God's mandate on the earth.

7. Any Church where they are burning candles, selling special oil, wearing white garments or special Aprons, is Not a living Church. You better run away from there before it is too late for you. If you truly benefit from this message, just type REVELATION! Pls share this rugged Truth with all your Friends and neighbors to save them from eternal destruction and God shall bless you richly for doing so.
