TRINITY
Very fundamental to understanding the concept of trinity are:
1. The Bible is a book of pictures, and it contains the things and deep things of God.
2. Trinity is a concept that is impossible for any human being to fully understand, let alone explain.
3.God is infinitely greater than we are; therefore, we should not expect to be able to fully understand Him.
4. Out of curiosity to understand all what the Bible is communicating, many people have analyzed, analyzed and paralyzed the Bible revelations.
This has left many confused and made them lost faith in God of the Bible.
5. Human wisdom or any other spiritual books cannot and never be an authority over Bible revelations.
7. Intellectualism is a mother of rationalism, rationalism is a mother of assumption and assumption is a mother of frustration.
1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

8. The Bible is a library of sixty six books. It is packaged or canonized according to their relevance for the salvation of mankind under the auspices of the spirit of the creator.
9. HISTORICALLY the Bible is not complete but by REVELATION the Bible is complete.
10. When Christians say "The Bible says...
This means all the books of the Bible stand for the same purpose and profitable for
- doctrines
- correction
- reproof
- instruction
- growth and development
2Tim. 3 Verses 16-17

The things of God revealed in the Bible are those that are relevant for our salvation. However, there are more about all that are revealed in the Bible. They are called the deep things of God as we can see in 1Corinthians 2:10.
It requires the spirit of God to access and understand the deep things therein.

The Bible teaches that the Father is God, that Jesus is God, and that the Holy Spirit is God. The Bible also teaches that there is only one God. Though we can understand some facts about the relationship of the different Persons of the Trinity to one another, ultimately, it is incomprehensible to the human mind. However, this does not mean the concept of Trinity is not true or that it is not based on the teachings of the Bible.

God is a company of three divine personalities.
The Trinity is one God existing in three Persons. Understand that this is not in any way suggesting three Gods. Keep in mind when studying this subject that the word “Trinity” is not found in Scripture. This is a term that is used to attempt to DESCRIBE the triune God—three coexistent, co-eternal Persons who are God. Of real importance is that the concept represented by the word “Trinity” does exist in Scripture. The following is what God’s Word says about the Trinity:

1) There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 Corinthians 8:4; Galatians 3:20; 1 Timothy 2:5).

2) The Trinity consists of three Persons (Genesis 1:1, 26; 3:22; 11:7; Isaiah 6:8, 48:16, 61:1; Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14). In Genesis 1:1, the Hebrew plural noun "Elohim" is used. In Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7 and Isaiah 6:8, the plural pronoun for “us” is used. The word "Elohim" and the pronoun “us” are plural forms, definitely referring in the Hebrew language to more than two. While this is not an explicit argument for the Trinity, it does denote the aspect of plurality in God.
The Hebrew word for "God," "Elohim," definitely allows for the Trinity.

In Isaiah 48:16 and 61:1, the Son is speaking while making reference to the Father and the Holy Spirit. Compare Isaiah 61:1 to Luke 4:14-19 to see that it is the Son speaking. Matthew 3:16-17 describes the event of Jesus’ baptism. Seen in this passage is God the Holy Spirit descending on God the Son while God the Father proclaims His pleasure in the Son. Matthew 28:19 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 are examples of three distinct Persons in the Trinity.

3) The members of the Trinity are distinguished one from another in various passages. In the Old Testament, “LORD” is distinguished from “Lord” (Genesis 19:24; Hosea 1:4). The LORD has a Son (Psalm 2:7, 12; Proverbs 30:2-4). The Spirit is distinguished from the “LORD” (Numbers 27:18) and from “God” (Psalm 51:10-12). God the Son is distinguished from God the Father (Psalm 45:6-7; Hebrews 1:8-9).
In the New Testament, Jesus speaks to the Father about sending a Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). This shows that Jesus did not consider Himself to be the Father or the Holy Spirit. Consider also all the other times in the Gospels where Jesus speaks to the Father. He was not speaking to Himself. He spoke to another Person in the God—the Father.

4) Each member of the Trinity is God. The Father is God (John 6:27; Romans 1:7; 1 Peter 1:2). The Son is God (John 1:1, 14; Romans 9:5; Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:8; 1 John 5:20). The Holy Spirit is God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16).

5) There is subordination within the Trinity. Scripture shows that the Holy Spirit is subordinate to the Father and the Son, and the Son is subordinate to the Father. This is an internal relationship and does not deny the deity of any Person of the Trinity. This is simply an area which our FINITE minds cannot understand concerning the infinite God.
Concerning the Son see Luke 22:42, John 5:36, John 20:21, and 1 John 4:14. Concerning the Holy Spirit see John 14:16, 14:26, 15:26, 16:7, and especially John 16:13-14.

6) The individual members of the Trinity have different tasks. The Father is the ultimate source or cause of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; Revelation 4:11); divine revelation (Revelation 1:1); salvation (John 3:16-17); and Jesus’ human works (John 5:17; 14:10). The Father initiates all of these things.

The Son is the agent through whom the Father does the following works: the creation and maintenance of the universe (1 Corinthians 8:6; John 1:3; Colossians 1:16-17); divine revelation (John 1:1, 16:12-15; Matthew 11:27; Revelation 1:1); and salvation (2 Corinthians 5:19; Matthew 1:21; John 4:42).
The Father does all these things through the Son, who functions as His agent.

The Holy Spirit is the means by whom the Father does the following works: creation and maintenance of the universe (Genesis 1:2; Job 26:13; Psalm 104:30); divine revelation (John 16:12-15; Ephesians 3:5; 2 Peter 1:21); salvation (John 3:6; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:2); and Jesus’ works (Isaiah 61:1; Acts 10:38).
Thus, the Father does all these things by the power of the Holy Spirit.

There have been many attempts to develop illustrations of the Trinity. However, none of the popular illustrations are completely accurate. The egg (or apple) fails in that the shell, white, and yolk are parts of the egg, not the egg in themselves, just as the skin, flesh, and seeds of the apple are parts of it, not the apple itself. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not parts of God; each of them is God. The water illustration is somewhat better, but it still fails to adequately describe the Trinity. Liquid, v***r, and ice are forms of water. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not forms of God, each of them is God. So, while these illustrations may give us a picture of the Trinity, the picture is not entirely accurate. An infinite God cannot be fully described by a finite illustration.

The doctrine of the Trinity has been a divisive issue throughout the entire history of the Christian church. While the core aspects of the Trinity are clearly presented in God’s Word, some of the side issues are not as explicitly clear.
The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God—but there is only one God. That is the biblical doctrine of the Trinity. Beyond that, the issues are, to a certain extent, debatable and non-essential. Rather than attempting to fully define the Trinity with our finite human minds, we would be better served by focusing on the fact of God’s greatness and His infinitely higher nature. “Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?” (Romans 11:33-34).

ABORTION
What is our thought on
Roe vs Wade abortion law overturn in USA ? Particularly, our Christian Succinct view with regards to this?

This has generated much heated debates within the secular society.

Many areas of thought keep driving the wedge between the secular & Christendom:

When does a life starts?

Could foetus be treated just like a property?

Is happiness or decision of pregnant woman supercede that of unborn child?

Over to all our erudite biblical scholars.....

CHRISTIANITY ON ABORTION

I want to specially appreciate our fellow soldier for raising eagle eyebrow on abortion quagmire which has brought heretofore psychological tormentous to Christian faithfuls and spiritual miasma to Christian faith.

As background to this abortion issue, it is absolutely important to remind ourselves that we are in a cosmos by the wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ as we can see in John 1:1-4.
He came, saw, conquered and gave the born again believers mandate to occupy till he returns.
The mountainous challenges buffeting and whisking away the divine mandate of the body of Christ is the significant consequence of leadership failures.
There are more about abortion issue spiritually than we can see.
How many prophets, pastors, evangelists, engineers, Doctors, presidents, Ambassadors etc that had been sent back to heaven through abortion process ?
Are the pro-abortion activist not kingdom of darkness principalities, powers and princes or princesses of high places?
This abortion issue is a thesis on its own.

The body of Christ is not spiritually sensitive and proactive to prevent this evil in our midst.
Everybody is busy looking for what to eat and wealth to acquire whereas abortion and other issues are bitting and eating the church secretly from all corners.

Whatever you allow is naturally permitted to grow and multiply.

We are in a moral revolution, in which longstanding core values and beliefs in our faith are being turned upside down. As expressive individualism spreads and becomes the dominant view of the world, basic Christian teachings are now considered not only old-fashioned, not problematic, not just wrong, but extreme and dangerous.

People are increasingly isolated, fragmented, and polarized.
We are witnessing a stark decline of public trust in Christian institutions. As choices have increased, solidarity has decreased, leading to disorientation and fragmentation. In this environment, the institutions that have generally provided a buffer between the state and the individual suffer the most. Associations fall away. Gatherings and groups disappear. Mediating Christian institutions and associations are weakened.

Together with this fragmentation and isolation comes the problem of polarization. The social media exacerbates the problems.

The challenge for the church in this era is to resist the transformation of our gatherings into places where everyone merely seeks mutual fulfillment. For far too many today, we go to church because it helps us self-actualize, not because it makes us good, or because we seek to glorify God, or we want to do good to our neighbours. We go to church like we go anywhere else, to be affirmed.

The body of Christ becomes vulnerable as a result of the leadership lackadaisicalness towards protecting the core Christian faith values fundamental to the liturgy and eternal inheritance through Christ Jesus.

How can we overcome the challenges when leaders at the battle front have lost focus.
They have submitted to dictates of the governments of this world. They are afraid to speak on matters like abortion because they don't want to loose their earthly possessions and positions.

Abortion is a weapon of mass destruction targeting the divine mandate and missions of the whole essence of the Godhead.
The western powers are mounting pressure on African countries to entrench abortion and homos*xuality in their constitutions as one of the conditions for foreign aids.
The church of Jesus Christ is silent about it.
It calls for concern when other matters apart from abortion could not be handled ranging from leadership instability, and slow spiritual growth causing increasing concerns and fears within. Others are Biblical Illiteracy, Presence, Disembodied Tendencies, Compartmentalization, Boredom, Temptation to Reinvent the Wheel, Complexity, Consumer Christians, The Temptation to Homogeneity, The Authenticity Brokenness Fallacy, The Idol of Autonomy, Aversion to Commitment, The Struggle for Balance in an Immoderate Age, Social Media, The Need for Racial Reconciliation, Gender and Sexuality, Religious Freedom, Anti-Intellectualism, Hyper-Intellectualism, Distrust of Authority and Entanglements of Allegiances.

Uncompromising and polarizing spiritual views create a liturgy of indifference. The church is growing tired of argumentative spiritual discussions and seemingly endless barriers to progress.
The result is an unclear vision for the future that becomes a breeding ground for radical ideas, larger-than-life personalities, and grandiose, if not offensive, statements. Inequality and discrimination fuel talking points that place blame and seek retribution.
The spiritual climate of the church during the era of the apostles was not unlike the one in the fifteen century redemptive period even in comparison with our days. It was this unstable spiritual environment and leadership inconsistency that created a pathway for the reformers as they began their campaign, believing they knew what is the best spiritually and intellectually for future of the body of Christ.

On the celebrated case of Roe vs. Wade decision of 1973, the US Supreme Court concluded that the unborn child was not really human nor a person, therefore was not protected by the right to life assured “persons” by the US Constitution. The Supreme Court concluded that the unborn fetus was merely a part of the mother’s body, not a separate human individual.
Obviously, this reasoning flies in the face of the plain biblical teaching of the humanity and personhood of the unborn child. It is interesting to note that most often, when someone is planning to terminate the life of the unborn, and destroy this miracle of God’s creation, they refer to the unborn as the “fetus” or the “embryo.” By contrast, when they plan to keep the child and cherish it, it is always known as “my baby” or “my child.”

No one would ever say “I’m going to have a little fetus?”
The abortionist will not say, “We are going to kill the little baby”
Our respect for the unborn seems to be strangely affected by the circumstances.

The fact is that human life began with Adam when God shaped man in His own image and breathed into him the breath of life (Genesis 2:7). This life is transmitted from generation to generation in an unbroken chain that links Adam and Eve with every child that has ever been conceived in its mother’s womb.
The developing fetus is a human life just as surely as a fully-developed adult.
God address this point and called foetus a Nation, man and people.....
Genesis 25:23 (KJV) And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

Science is a product of human wisdom. Human wisdom is a product of human depravity which has plunged mortal man into captivity. Science does not have the final say on the issues of life. As a church we need to communicate the mind of God to the world on abortion.
Considering the circumstance that brought about of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, Mary would have been advised to abort her baby had it been scientifical abortion was available.

Can anyone rationally conclude the unborn child is not a human being? To suggest it is not a “being” is to suggest it doesn’t exist. Certainly, it does exist and it is, therefore, a “being.” Further, to suggest it is not a human being is to imply it must be some other kind of being.
Surely, this developing child within the mother’s womb, from the moment of conception, is a human being with all the potentials reference to Genesis 25v23.
Obviously any time we terminate the life of an unborn child, we are, in fact, taking the life of a human being.
Psalm 139: 13-16 gives us an insight on how often the psalmist refers to himself in his unborn condition with the personal pronoun “me” or “I”.

In this short passage, the psalmist uses the personal pronoun ten times. Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the psalmist openly declares his personhood even while yet in his mother’s womb and affirmed the sanctity of life of the unborn. Life during conception was equally revealed Jeremiah1:5.

These passages plainly indicate that in the mother’s womb God creates a new individual even as He created Adam in the beginning.
Consider the marvelous occasion when Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth, several months pregnant with John the Baptist. When the good news of the Messiah’s coming was declared, the Bible says: “The babe leaped in her womb...” (Luke 1:41,44).
Luke further declares that John was “filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb” (Luke 1:15).

The Holy Ghost only fills people, not tissue or cells. The Greek word for baby is brephos. It is the same word used here in this passage for the unborn baby in Elizabeth’s womb. This same word is used to describe Jesus in the manger (Luke 2:16) and Timothy as a “child” learning the scriptures (2 Tim. 3:15).
What should a body of do to curb this entrepreneurial wholesale slaughter of the innocent unborn?

THE TASKS BEFORE US IN THIS REVIVAL PROJECT... AFRICA BIBLE INERRANCY AND REFORMATION ON ABORTION
1. The body of Christ in Africa need to harmonize our doctrinal and liturgical differences tearing church to have a common focus to preaching, teaching, and proclaiming the sacredness and sanctity of all human life, both born and unborn.
2. We stir up campaign to Supporting the efforts of those seeking a constitutional amendment to prohibit abortion.
3. We need to be more involved in politics to Support candidates for office who will work for legislation and a human life amendment.
The Bible says righteousness exalts a nation.
We need to understand that we can only get the righteous in the church. Jesus Christ had purchased and redeemed the church with his blood and by the blood of Jesus Christ we are made righteous.
If Christians are not there, unbelievers will get to positions and make laws that will affect our lives.
4. We must oppose the use of federal, state, and local tax money to fund abortions.
5. We need to Preach, teach, and proclaim biblical instructions regarding proper s*xual relationships. Ninety-nine percent of the abortions performed were to u***d mothers.
Our women are throwing cursion into the wind because of fleshly pleasure. By the thousands and by the millions innocent unborn children have been the helpless victims of promiscuous s*x.
6. We need to minister and counsel with Godly compassion to the u***d mothers. Help them to see that “adoption, not abortion” is a better alternative.
7. We need to minister with compassion to those who have participated in an abortion pointing them to the grace and forgiveness of a loving God and a Saviour who is ready to receive with forgiveness a repentant sinner.

Let us pray earnestly and anxiously for God’s direction as we seek to affect in every way we can the serious issue of abortion on demand and to preserve the sanctity of life for all persons.

All these would be a mirage or elusive fantasy if the body of Christ in Africa still allow doctrinal and liturgical differences to divide us.
All Africa Christian professionals in all areas of human endeavours need to come together for this purpose.. professional Theologians, Apostles, Bishops, pastors, Evangelists Reverend, legal professionals at all levels, Engineers, MD/CEOs, politicians, Senators, Honourables Governors, Ambassadors, commissioners etc

Every strategic planning must produce strategic and glorious results.
Wisdom is profitable to direct.
However, I know the God we serve through his only begotten son Jesus Christ, he can and will give us victory. We shall not succumb to the pressure in Africa.

EVIL CONSEQUENCES OF DIVISIONS
1. It shields God’s mercy and support for the church.
2. The church will lose power, strength and relevance.
3. It would bring failure to achieve our goals.
4. Division substitutes love with hatred, trust with suspicion, and peace with conflict.
5. Division dissipates our energy in empty arguments instead of benefiting ourselves and others.
6. Division distracts people away from the purpose and objectives.
7. Division leads to disgrace here and in the Hereafter.

The body of Christ is now miles farther apart than ever before. Gone are the early church, when church focused less on maintaining control then on accomplishing forward movement on behalf of Christ. It was easier for them to claim victories and appeal to their respective bases. When control was not the primary goal, things got accomplished and they were able to get their needs met by working together.

We as a church have forgotten what it means to hold clerical positions that represents the good of the body of Christ, not the good of an individual or denomination over another.

Denominations feed members with insecurities and fear instead of communicating a shared vision of the church of Christ for the future. We have forgotten what it means to have opinions and ideals that take into consideration the vision and ideals of the body of Christ.

One can win a thousand but two can win ten thousand.

Now, what will happen when we ARE one thousand fighting the abortion menace and other issues of concerns buffeting our peace and tranquility as a body of Jesus Christ in Africa.

We shall surely occupy till our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ comes.

FELLOW SOLDIERS..
MY THOUGHTS

Bank-Ola Steve

MARRIAGE, DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE

I believe this discourse will bring to the fore a life time opportunity for renewal of the mind to many that are victims of unprecedented and unexplainable marital calamitous circumstances.
It will also bring back the hope of getting it right in marriage. More importantly, it will also enhance deliverance and innerhealing.
Understandably , every cure is always established on accurate diagnosis.
It is indeed unfortunate that leaders in the body of Christ are allowing intellectual wisdom to manage spiritually sensitive issue like marriage in our time as far as I know through my over thirty years ministry experiences as a professional.
Many points are raised in this post.

Firstly, the stage of coming and joining together of a man and a woman in marriage.
Since we know that marriage is spiritual and it is an idea institutionalized by the creator God. Then it requires spiritual knowledge, wisdom and understanding to go about and manage it to have the expected outcomes.
The only one that can tell you the truth about a product is the manufacturer.

Do not allow emotions to override your spiritual sensibilities. Connect with the God of marriage. Let Him speak on your case and give you direction.

Victims of marital woes have received avalanche of criticisms, finger of blames and stigmatization.
The rebellious kingdom of darkness working collaboratively with human agents have been against marriage from Genesis.

Many have been misled into egregious and malodorous marital situations which have resulted into assassination of character and integrity plummeted to quagmire.

I have asked many this question.... How did you get to this luguburious point in your marriage ?
Many times I got to know that the channels through which it happened was an irresistible, unrejectable and undeniable circumstances either by demonic manipulations through Pastors, prophets, family culture and traditional practices.

Some in an effort to confirm and interprete revelations got hooked up and misled.

Even in Christian ministries, many ministers in our time are living with spouses that are not parts of God's plan for their ministries.

If Christian ministers who are leaders and shepherds are well known victims, what can we say about innocent sheep in pew ?

The unfortunate man or the woman had gone to an unfortunate pastor. The unfortunate pastor took the unfortunate couple to an unfortunate altar and join them together and time now for manifestation of an unfortunate marriage. What do you think will be the result? Your guess is as good as mine.

Understand that no matter how long you travel on a wrong road, you will never get to your desired destination. You need to turn back.

If it is by manipulations, it is intended to destroy the plan of God for either the man or the woman in future so as to leave inglorious and indelible mark that will hunt them psychologically and paralyze them emotionally for life.

The devil has come to kill, steal and destroy.

DIVORCE
In the eye of God's law and divine justice system, divorce is a criminal offense. It is repugnant and a direct affront on the integrity of God. That is Why the Bible says God hates divorce.
DIVORCE means Dei - Void ..
Dei is the Greek word for God. Since this word is associated with marriage, it means God must be part of the marriage process beginning from the point of making the choice of partner.
Hence, to separate the man and the woman by mortal man in the presence of crowd of witnesses is to void God's approval and that God was wrong.

What God has joined together let no man put asunder.
Who has declared and come to pass with glorious success when God has not spoken.

Successful marriage is always established on solid foundation and consolidated beginning.

Many have been misled and blinded by wedding to be the fundamental thing in marriage not knowing that wedding is just an initiation ceremony into marriage. Immediately after the wedding marriage journey begins.
In the eye of human law and traditions, children define and validate marriage. But in the eye of God's law and divine justice system what makes a marriage valid is the voice of God.

That you have twenty children in a relationship does not validate it.

At any point you observe you are on a wrong marital journey, please turn back.

Essentially, the priest who is God"s representative needs to verify if God has his place in the process because posterity will judge him.

In Genesis when God institutionalized the pioneer marriage, God gave the man Eden. Eden does not have alternative translation or word.

Eden means the presence of God or an atmosphere. Eden in Hebrew language is a word with five strokes. Each stroke has a meaning: spot, moment, presence, open door and delightful place.
The word literarilly gives the understanding that God took the man and put him in a spot, for a moment, where the presence is an open door to heaven.

When powers of darkness and their human agents are fighting a marriage, they only want you to loose the presence of God. So often times when a marriage is experiencing spiritual turbulence, the target is to make man lose the presence of God.
Note that whatever happens, God will hold the man accountable. Hence it is God the Alpha and Omega who knows who is qualified to work with man and who the woman can work with.
The responsibilities in a marriage are on the shoulders of the man.

I have witnessed only few priests who were courageous enough and able to discern spiritually to tell the would be couples the truth during counselling sessions before their wedding.

When God"s voice is not part of a marriage from the beginning, it would be a disaster heading somewhere to happen.
Notwithstanding, that God is part of a marriage from the beginning would not shield it from challenges. But note that challenges are temporary because every divine commission always enjoy divine backing and provisions.

We need to begin to adjust to the reality that, if the marriage is wrong. God cannot be wrong and our emotions cannot make God compromise his position because what the world joined together, God will not put asunder.
Remember, it happened to our father Abraham during the stormy weather in his relationship with Hagar.
Remember the the late wonderful gospel singer our Sister Oscinachi before it is too late.

That you are alive means you can still get it right

There are many men and women that kingdom of darkness and their human agents have delegated wrong spouses to carry out evil agenda at specific times either to manifest in short, medium and long time.

Many of the victims of this marital woes are unfortunately under pressure, criticisms and stigmatization by the church. The kingdom of darkness is even inspiring the church with the use of Bible to unleash final unslot to psychological and emotionally destroy them.

They are now experiencing rejection, intimidation and feeling lonely even in the body of christ in the midst of the marriage battles of this world.

QUESTIONS AND OBSERVATIONS
1. Should we still allow our fellow soldiers who are victims of this marital woes either by error of omission or commission to remain as victims or we should go for rescue and support before their time even as we are expecting the return of our Lord and king Jesus Christ ?

2. How can we define our stewardship responsibilities as it relates to this ?
3. Are we not charged to step up actions and policies that will rescue the upcoming generations from becoming prey of satanic acerbic wits especially our children ?

Fellow soldiers, with the understanding that those precious sons and daughters of Abraham who are going through marital spiritual battles, the church suppose to rally round the victims and give them supports and encouragement.

This is the only way we can have and show to the world a well defined victorious church. It is time for the body of christ to start manifesting practical, spiritual and responsible Christianity and values in our time.
