Testimony Time:-It was the greatness in Abraham that gave him the title of "father of monotheism". In what that can be described as the first 75 years of Abraham's life, people around him believed in and also practiced polytheism which allowed them to make themselves gods in every attributes of their lives. In other words, Abraham was the first among his kindred to move away from such practices. He was so endowed that God gave him the understanding to come to the realization that there is only one God who governs everything; even his childlessness. From then onward, that knowledge began to structure everything he did; Abraham then was able to experience God in a newer dimension. As a result, Abraham was directed by God to move away from where everything was being governed by so many gods to a promised land that will understand the nature of His supremacy so that He too can fulfill covenant upon him; this was Canaan! (Genesis 12:1). And so in Genesis 17:1 "Abraham was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless". Let me therefore reassure you that you are not a finished product until we return back to our Maker to give account of our stewardship whilst in this world. "For God will bring every deeds into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." (Ecclesiastes 12:14) Let us therefore begin to look at those little songs/hymn, every church services, sermons/preaching, write ups and all other activities geared towards the proclamation of the Supremacy of God as methods being used by God to move us away from sins. It covers without us knowing challenges of all nature and the possibilities where our lives are being governed and monitored by ephemeral spirits. Not only that, it offers the opportunity to drink from the water of life which is in Christ Jesus. "But whoever drinks of the water I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give Him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."(John 4:14) When we are therefore called to true worship and in any true Christian gathering; the expectations must be reliant on these principles:- 1. Believe in the word of God according to the Bible and nothing else. 2. set us apart from the evil kingdom of the world-Romans 12:2 3. To link us with His mercy which is new everyday- Lamentations 3:23 4. To remind us to work before God like Abraham very righteously so that we can remain blameless.- Genesis 17:1 5. So that the constant Blood shed on Mount Calvary will not be in vain. This is against popular delusions that God’s wrath is not consistent with His goodness and the reason many now seek to banish it from their thoughts and the ability to 6. Offer and preach messages of peace with the purpose of winning souls for Christ.- Matthew 28:19 (just to mention a few) Any gathering which prohibits the above or use the above as a smokescreen for any other illicit acts should know without saying that they are still being led by legion of gods and there is no Christ in them. In Christ we profess and Christ we claim to know; let the Christ in us resonates the Son of God you are in Your name.
