The Heart of a HYPOCRITE

Image
TOPIC: HYPOCRISY TEXT: PROVERBS 11:9 Delivered by Israel Mikun  The hypocrite is one who feigns to be what he is not one whose life is a lie. Selfish, he wears the costume of benevolence; false, he speaks the language of sincerity and truth. What is a hypocrite? He is a man who puts up a front to hide his wicked heart, life, and intentions. They flatter, pretend, and lie. They are wolves in sheep's clothing (Matt 7:15). They are graves of the dead that have been disguised by white paint (Matt 23:27). This above verse may be understood with a reference to all insincere professions of friendship and good intentions to all insinuating and flattering pretensions, adopted for the purpose of affecting a particular end. How many are there who, for objects of their own deceive others; no matter what the result may be to the deceived, provided the deceiver but accomplish his selfish aim. In religion, the hypocrite has a purpose. His religion is not real. He assumes the cloak to cover some s

Lecture by Olusho Elijah Remilekun Balogun  CONGREGATIONAL PRAYERS  In CCC, we cannot count our practices but if we can take our time to study, we will get to know some hidden truths God has embedded in the Church for our blessings and victory.. There is an Elder Prayer! There are 3Elders Prayers! There are 7Elders Prayers! But congregational prayer cannot be mimicked or sideline in CCC as far as we are here to enjoy God's presence in this fold.. Of recent, I took my time to study the spiritual working ability of God in our Parish.. (Sorry if am using our Parish as an example).. I get to understand that whatever we (all parishioners) come together to pray on has always yield result even more than the above elders prayers but there's a SUPREME CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER.. Sorry, the aspect am talking about on congregational prayer is a state whereby a member is asked to kneel in the middle of the Church while the remaining members gather to pray on him/her through the leading of the

CONTROLLING THE MIND

Image
You really want to have control over your mind? Then this is for you. The mind is the ultimate treasure house of power, it houses every thoughts of yours even while sleeping. The mind is just like a garden, remember a garden is an area which contains plants, likewise the mind also, the mind houses many thoughts of yours and our thoughts are like seeds planted into the garden of our minds. What you think and picture about yourself is definitely what you will eventually be. The mind is a set of "thinking" faculties including cognitive aspects such as imaginations, judgements and consciousness, as well as non - cognitive aspects such as emotions. The difference between your mind and your brain is that; your brain is part of the visible, tangible world of your body while your mind is that invisible transcendent world of thoughts, feelings, attitudes and beliefs. You might be wondering, does the mind control the body? The mind has no other tool but its own body. So the rules of th

THE WISE AND UPWARD PATH

Image
THE WISE AND UPWARD PATH By Bro Mikun Israel  You have made and will make many decisions today. Each choice either directs your life upward toward favor with God now and later, or toward destruction now and an eternity in hell. Wise men make decisions carefully with the earthly and eternal consequences in mind in order to avoid trouble and God's displeasure and to find His favor and blessing. The choices men make each day determine the success or failure of their lives in this world and in the one to come. Most are too proud to consider their ways, for they assume they are right. Others are too lazy, so they continue playing with their toys. Some do not care, blind to the consequences. Others follow the majority. Some follow their feelings. But all those criteria for decision-making are foolish! Pride will certainly bring pain and trouble (Pr 16:18; 18:12). Slothfulness is the mark of a fool (Pr 18:1-2). Carelessness also marks fools (Pr 1:22; 17:16). The majority is always wrong (

Amissa Service in CCC

  AMISSA SERVICE IN CCC Why is our focus on Amissa service? CCC members attach little or no importance to the service because it looks mystical. What is Amissa? Amissa service in CCC is meant to intercede in prayer for the souls of the dead, not to escape them from judgment but that their souls may receive the grace to rest until the time when Satan lose the world and rapture will take place. Amissa is a redemptive service to free the saint from the bondage they might have met on their way back to heaven. Example: Moses (Jud 9). When Amissa service is expected to be conducted? It is a general believe among CCC adherents that the spirit of the departed souls wander around for 40 days after burial. The first Amissa service is conducted 40th day after burial. Then, it could come up annually as the departed souls relative’s wishes or as directed by the spirit through prophecies and dreams. Is Amissa service biblical? Affirmative… biblical references to Amissa are Jude 9, Zechariah 3: 3. Do
