The Word Of God Confirms Your Experiences! by PastorOluT(m): 7:47am On Dec 04, 2013
This is where many get it wrong, many have grown to the extent that the word of God dont mean much to them any longer. Probably they have had many experiences in their faith walk that they start lifting their experiences above the word, thereby treating the word lightly.

Many even claimed that the word is the words of men and hereby prone to errors. But as a bible student and a wise man, you would understand that the bible is divided into categories, the words of the prophets allegedly from God Himself, eye witnesses accounts which was confirmed because it did not negate what was afore written, and others.

You might have had wonderful experiences in your walk of faith, but your experiences should never negate what was afore written. Though there is room for new revelations (just as Paul had new revelations as compared to the other apostles), but all was in line with the scriptures.

The word of God confirms our experiences, and not the other way round our experiences confirming the word, for this is where many get it all wrong. This is because the word is authentic, reliable and sure, it keeps us in check that we might not stray, and anything contrary to what was afore written is false and not from God!

And we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shine in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation. For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

I still cant understand why so many exalt their experiences above the word of God? Some claim to have had wonderful experiences with the Lord n thereby do not need the bible again 'cos they hear directly from God.

As Christians we should be very careful to be guided by the word, for the devil is so subtle that he can also give u supernatural experiences which if u are not abreast with the word/God, u will easily miss it!

I John 5:7
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Isaiah 8:20
Look to God's instructions and teachings! People who contradict his word are completely in the dark.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for
- instruction,
- for reproof
- and conviction of sin,
- for correction of error
- and discipline in obedience,
- [and] for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God’s will in thought, purpose, and action),
17  So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work.


As the Psalmist said, Uncover my eyes so that I may see the miraculous things in your teachings...Psalm 119:18

God bless you pastor Olu.

@the bolded is what has given rise to so many demi gods in Christianity today. People now see these mere men in the mold of an Elijah or Elisha forgetting that before the cross, The Holy Spirit wasn't yet given and God Spoke ONLY through intermediaries but now he speaks to us all by the Holy Spirit residing in all his children.

Many do not know the divisions in the bible at all and this leads to plenty errors and misinterpretations. They forget that even satan was quoted in the bible. In the book of Job for instance, God condemned Job's 3 friends for not telling the truth about him and these guys words accounted for more than half of the book of Job. So a diligent student of the bible will need to sieve through that book so as not to get enmeshed in the untruths they uttered about God almighty.

God will surely help his children.

God u guys too, Candour n Alwaystrue for holding on to the truth n preaching it. Another issue in the Christendom today;

There nothing as Hell and the judgment to come messages being a gospel of FEAR as many claims, but that we should preach the Goodnews and only say those things that are pleasing. The gospel is supposed to be encompassing, and the message of eternal condemnation is fully part of the Goodnews and ought to be preached alongside every other truths in the bible.

The truth remain that however the message is being preached, unrepentant sinners will still find it offensive, so we ought to preach the GOODNEWS as Paul , the Apostles, and the early Christians did!

And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

Many at times people pray for grace to be able to live for God daily, though this is not wrong but the refusal to take the grace available and actually live for Him is. His grace has been made available, all we need do is walk and grow in the grace. But if we are not diligent enough, just waiting for some miracle that God would just bring to manifestation His life in us without our consent, then we will have to wait a long time!

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age

Stop keeping yourself under unnecessary bondage, ONLY CHRIST SAVES, NOT ABIDING BY CERTAIN RULES AND PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE LITTLE OR NO EFFECT ON THE FLESH. AND LIVE TRIUMPHANTLY IN CHRIST BY FAITH AGAINST EVERY ELEMENTAL FORCES OF THE WORLD!

Therefore if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourself to regulations. Do not touch, do not handle. Which all concern things which perish with the using, according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Ppl exalt Their experience above d wrd because faith isnt easy or natural.
But is possible under the right conditions.
And most christians are not taught how to actvate d wrd 4 themselves.
So the church is guilty of this backwardness.
House rent due in 3 weeks and you just lost your job . No savgs.
"my God shall supply all your needs " will look and sound like rubbish. You cud slap the person quotg it to u.
35-year old sister without husband. She goes to church unfailingly, no man lookg her way yet all d young girls she mentrs are givg out iv's. The long face she'll b wearg cud scare a masquerade. Tell her "be anxious for nothg ../cast all ur care upon the Lord " and she cud bite your head off.
An employee nearg retiremnt car he doesnt hav house he hasnt built . The "wise" thng is to "declare his age"- tell him its a sin to lie.
A govnor who was an ardent church member is now in a position to control billions . It is taken for granted tht he will steal enuff,the problem is wen he steals too much but if he doesnt steal generations will make him a laffg stock. Thou shall not steal looks foolsh soundg. Infct, he believes tht the opportunity he has is God given.

Forget all those pretty sermons in church , this the test of tru christianity. And it aint gonna b easy 1 bit. Even Jesus sweated blood bendg his will to God's will.
