Preaching TRUTH is no barrier to CHURCH growth

By admin on February 10, 2025 |

I hear this all the time online coming from apostolic pastors well if you preach truth people don’t want to know in other words this is the reason my church is small and not growing.. But that’s OK because I’m loyal to God and I preaching truth… Is this true?

Is thus true or it an excuse for staying small! According to SCRIPTURE, the Truth master preached truth and GREAT MULTITUDES gathered to listen to him. Matthew 13.2.

The apostles spoke and THOUSANDS believed and were born again of water and Spirit in Acts. They preached TRUTH to the point that they gained the reputation ‘these that have turned the whole world upside down are among us. Acts19:26. Acts 17:6.

In Acts 14 we read and when they had PREACHED THE GOSPEL to that city and made MANY disciples.. V21

Phillip went down to Samaria and preached the gospel and Multitude with one accord headed to the things spoken by Phillip Acts 8:5 and 6.

The solution it’s not what you preach it’s how you tell it.

Its not your preaching style that makes you apostolic or pentecostal but your influence and ability to win the lost.

Its not how loud your preach but how much does the Holy Host speak through you.

People hate the fake and false and do want the truth.

Its a lie. Preaching truth keeps you small.. NO! Truth does change lives preaching truth does change Cities and nations because truth is a person and when we preach Jesus he said then I will draw ALL men unto me.

Paul

 

The Brethren.

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14:
If anyone claims to be in the light but hates his brother, he is still in the darkness. / Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no cause of stumbling in him. / But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness. He does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. (1 John 2:9-11 BEREAN).
The Saviour meant that his followers should be known by this badge of discipleship all over the world, John 13:34-35. John says, in carrying out the sentiment, that Christians, by this test, may know “among themselves” whether they have any true religion. (BARNES).
He walks in this darkness the darkness that makes men avoid each other, be jealous and envious of each other, things of themselves are to important to connect of those of lower estate, such darkness! darkness is deceitful, its make a Cain kill and Abel. A brother of colour hate a white man, a  rich man look down on one lesser fortunate. We however are delivered from the power of such darkness. Hallelujah!
He is passed from death to life. how do we know that we have passed out of death to life, If we have love for the brethren. This love for one another is not possible in the unregenerate man, he loves himself alone. his love is self centered and loves those who are favoured by him but this love, prefers others, elevates others, enriches others, sees others better than themselves. Its a love that bonds brothers into armies, its the love that unites brothers in battles, its the love that connects brothers in faith and causes those who are alone to become members of a family, the family of God.
The death of brotherly love comes through jealousy, hatred strife and bitterness, man cannot love another purely without the Lord a man cannot love another righteously without himself being redeemed from the curse of hatred. Its the Lord alone that changes a mans heart. the Lord alone who imparts the desire for men of God to unite to do the work of God to take on big projects and do amazing things. to combine resources and attain new heights, to share ideas and change their world. Big men do big things Godly men do God size things, great things because two are better than one and have a greater reward. like Elisha and Elijah, Moses and Aaron, David and Jonathan, Paul and Timothy, Peter and Cornelius. Great men connect to do greater things.
Lets connect to do the bigger thing.
Because we love the brethren!

Breaking Limits by Being YOU

By admin on February 5, 2025 |

Jesus said, “verily I say unto you. Wheresover this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her” ( Mark 15:9)

Jesus commends what the apostles questioned. Her act brought her recognition. Judas knew the value of the ointment but he did not know the significance of it. Mary was charged with being extravagant, but that is what the Lord wants, extravagant worshipers. The disciples take the road familiar and so do those today who are men pleaser’s but not God chasers.

Mary done the incredible thing, before anyone could stop her.

Friend of you are going to do anything for the Lord then do not consult flesh and blood. When God sent you into this earth he send a fresh man, a man who never existed before a man with a unique character to give a unique message to preach it with a unique anointing. You are not a copy of anything. There is nothing that can resemble you. So why preach like me if you are better, why copy me I you can do more, why take what’s mine if yours is greater.  why sing my song if God has given his to you.

Today’s church has too may copyists and not enough originals. Break your own box, sing your own revival. Preach your own style, be you! There’s a prophesy only you can give forth there’s a shout only you can resound, there’s a song only you can sing. So don’t get me to have church around your program. I may not fit in and neither will you. You just have to be you and in being you, then you can break forth that box, that limitation that custom, that program. Break it! That’s where the anointing is its in the breaking forth.

So many churches are so organized and professional that God has no place to break anything. including he hardness of mans heart. Lets be careful, it may not be the preacher that leaves a memorial but the quiet Mary  who makes the break from whats traditional, careful and customary.
