Hello everyone
Welcome to my post.
I am happy to have joined the fourth day of the mass indoctrination by Brother Eli Soriano. The major thing that is making me happy is that I get to explore the doctrines of Christ and learn from it.
The lessons I learnt from the teaching of today is as follows:
- God do not hear the prayers of sinners. He hears the prayers of those who have a pure heart.
We must purify our hearts before God can answer us when we pray to him.
Christ purifies the heart. In other to receive the purification of Christ, we must be obedient to the truth.
The words of Christ is the truth we must be obedient to. The doctrines of Christ.
To grow, we must stay away from every iniquity.
In everything we do, we should avoid words like swearing. Let our "yes" be "yes." And let our "no" be "no."
Our tongues is like a burning fire. It can burn down a city. And it can also build up a city. We should mind how we use our tongues, not to hurt people.
If we keep on being in the right path, God will never forsake us.
The Bible verse that back up these lessons are seen below:
John 9:31 NIV
[31] We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person who does his will.
2 Corinthians 7:14 NIV
[14] I had boasted to him about you, and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true as well.
1 Peter 1:22 NIV
[22] Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.
John 17:17 NIV
[17] Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
Galatians 5:19 NIV
[19] The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery;
James 5:12 NIV
[12] Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.
James 4:15 NIV
[15] Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
Hebrews 13:5 NIV
[5] Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
Ephesians 4:25 NIV
[25] Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.
I am happy to add these to my knowledge.
Thank you
