Text: 2 Peter 1: 16-21. The Bible is the true Word of God and it is the final authority over everything else. God used specific men to write the Scriptures and divinely guarded against any human error. Therefore any teaching outside the Bible is suspect and should be avoided at all costs. Emotions may rise, psychological pressure may be[…]

Text: Acts 4:1-13. “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved,” (verse 12). Jesus Christ is the image of invisible God. He is above everything else, and therefore anything that makes God less is delusional and dangerous. Watch out for[…]

Text: Matthew 4:1-11. “…It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes from the mouth of God,’” (verse 4). For proper interpretation of God’s Word you should believe that every one word of Scripture is God’s Word. Therefore it has authority from God. God’s Word is a sword to use in spiritual[…]

Give the right context always

Text: 2 Timothy 2:14-20. When you teach the Word of God within context you bring out the whole truth. This will help you not to have divided loyalty because you are teaching the absolute truth. This will prove that indeed you are a workman approved by God. You need to develop a habit of consistence.[…]

Text: 2 Timothy 3:10-17. This enables you to know that the Scriptures have the authority of God and therefore you will believe that God Himself is teaching, reproofing, correcting and training you.
