THE WISE AND UPWARD PATH

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 (Eph 2:1-3; Matt 7:13-14; Ex 23:2). Above all else, do not follow your deceitful heart (Pr 14:12; Jer 17:9).


Consider your ways. Examine yourself. Beg God to help you (Ps 139:23-24). How do you choose and decide what to do and what not to do? Is the word of God your guide? Or do you follow your feelings, the fads of the world, or some other foolish influence? A wise man does not let life happen to him, he directs himself upward toward God and life.


Do not lie against the truth. Do not glory in your choices, just because you have followed them for a long time. If you are living contrary to God’s word, you are following earthly, sensual, and devilish wisdom (Jam 3:14-16). It will lead to your confusion and every evil work now, and it will result in facing an angry God in the Day of Judgment soon.


Do not sacrifice your future on the altar of the present by forgetting or neglecting to examine your choices and decisions. Wisdom is the power of right judgment, the ability to know what to do in any given situation, and you can grow mightily in such wisdom through fearing God, reading His word, and prayer (Pr 1:7; 9:10; Ps 19:7)



Thanks and God bless!

MEN RANKS IN CCC

 A Must Read for All Male Members of CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST. Halleluiah, before anyone can be qualified to be anointed for any rank in Celestial Church of Christ, he must have passed the stage of baptism and such individual can only be recommended for anointment by the shepherd-in-charge after three Years of active service and dedication in which he is convinced that he is ready to serve God in this great fold.

THE MYSTERY OF CCC GARMENT

 A Must Read for all TRUE CELESTIAL!!! By Olusho Elijah Ligali  THE MYSTERY OF CCC GARMENT Celestial Church Of Christ clads in White Cloth, but the pattern and design differs in all aspect and it was an instruction given to Papa SBJO by the Holy Spirit to the Church when the church started from inception. Because when the church came to existence it was a mystery which no man on earth could/can comprehend, even the founder confessed that he doesn't understand the church because it came with a mystery. Now, Our Garment Is Divine. Our garments came as an instruction of God to Papa SBJO with an hierarchy in which the different ranks are distinguished by the robe worn. The white sutanna of every member is symbolic of priestly authority, this is divine and revelational. The first contact between Man and the Lamb Of God was the skin of the Lamb. And what brought the Skin of the Lamb is the sins from our forefather Adam and Eve when they were sent out of Garden of Eden for their disobedie
