the lord's chosen miracle crusade comes up in abuja at eagle square in july 23-24.

The atonement is the reconciliation of sinful, fallen man to God made possible through the perfect
sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The vicarious death of Jesus Christ is the substitution of the sufferings of Christ
for the punishment of all sinners in the world. The prime purpose of this is the full redemption of fallen
mankind. Through this “mercy-seat”, sinners are reconciled to God. The power of sin over the natural
man can only be broken by the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3:16; Romans 5:17-19). “For as by one man’s
disobedience, many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one man shall many be made
righteous.”
God demands repentance from all sinners to avail themselves of the provision of redemption made in
Jesus Christ (Isaiah 53:5-7; Matthew 20:28; 26:28; John 3:14,15; 1 Corinthians 5:7; John 1:12;
3:18,36). Repentance is the change that takes place in the penitent’s attitude towards sin. It is turning
away from sin to God. Sincere and total repentance and godly sorrow for sin through the agency of the
Holy Spirit are important pre-requisites for salvation. Repentance is the deep inward experience, which
makes the sinner turn from sin to God. Therefore, God demands repentance from all men (Mark 1:15;
Matthew 4:17; Luke 13:3,5; 24:47; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30). When a sinner hears the gospel
empowered by the Holy Spirit, the sinner will have deep, godly sorrow for his sins and acknowledge
them by confessing all manner of sins. He goes before God n the merit of the atonement of made by
Jesus Christ through His vicarious death and accepts the sacrifice as a substitute for the punishment of
his own personal sins. On the basis of this process of genuine repentance, the sinner asks for
forgiveness and pardon based on the promises of God in the scriptures (Proverbs 28:13; Isaiah 55:6,7;
1 John 1:9; Ezekiel 18:21,22). As the sinner repents genuinely, he receives forgiveness and pardon
(Romans 8:16; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 John 2:2,3).

BIBLE DOCTRINE 4: TOTAL DEPRAVITY, SINFULNESS AND GUILT OF ALL MEN

God’s Word teaches:
The total depravity, sinfulness and guilt of all men since the fall, rendering them subject to
God’s wrath and condemnation – Psalm 51:5; Job 14:4; Romans 3:23; 5:12-17; Mark 7:21-
23; Ephesians 2:1.

The total depravity, sinfulness and guilt of all men since the fall renders all sinners subject to God’s wrath and condemnation (Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-6; Romans 5:17,19; Psalm 51:1-5). Man was created in the image of God, and he was righteous and holy. Man was a crown of God’s creation (Genesis 1:26,27; Psalm 8:5-8; Genesis1:31). Through voluntary disobedience and transgression, man fell into the depths of sin. In consequence of this, every one born through our first parents (Adam and Eve) became sinners, shapen in iniquity and utterly void of the holiness of God. Every man became totally inclined to evil (Psalm 51:1-5; Romans 3:10-18,23; 7:14-21; John 3:18,36; Romans 5:12-17; Job 14:4; Isaiah 48:. As a result of the fall of man (Adam and Eve) all men born through man and woman became sinners through inheritance. By inheriting the nature of sin, man became depraved. There is nothing in the natural man that has not been affected by the power of sin.

The entire nature of man, mentally, physically, morally and spiritually has been affected by sin. The
testimony of the scriptures is that the image of God in man has been seriously marred by this great fall.
As a result of the fall, and the nature of sin inherited, man became separated from God, totally
alienated from the perfect, holy and pure God. This separation is the cause of the beginning of sorrow,
shame, fear, heartaches, and manifold problems, spiritually and mentally. Man became a transgressor
and debtor to God (Romans 1:32; 6:23; Ezekiel 18:4; Hebrews 9:27). All these have brought man under
the wrath and condemnation of God, for “the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” There is nothing we can do
for ourselves to commend us to a righteous and holy God. There is nothing the natural man (Fallen
away from grace) can offer to appease God for man to escape His righteous judgment.
The Bible describes the fallen nature of man in various terms. Jesus Christ referred to sinners outside
the kingdom of God as swine and dogs. “Give not that which is holy unto dogs, neither cast your pearls
before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you (Matthew 7:6; Mark
7:25-28). He also referred to them as goats (Matthew 25:33). Paul in his epistle to the Philippian church
warned them to beware of evil workers and dogs (Philippians 3:2). Also, in his epistle to the Romans,
he referred to the fallen nature of man as “there is none righteous, no, not one”, “they are together
become unprofitable”, “their throat is an open sepulcher”, “whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness”, “for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:10-18,23). Jesus and John the Baptist described men as “vipers” (Matthew 3:7; 12:34). Variously, the unregenerated man is characterized by reprobate mind, being filled with all unrighteousness – immorality, covetousness, full of envy, murder, man is defiled and polluted (Romans 1:28-37; Mark 7:21-23), treacherous, transgressors,
“workers of iniquity”, “their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasters and destroyers” (Isaiah 48:8;
59:5-, cunning and crafty, full of wickedness, blind, foolish with darkened understanding, children of
wrath (Ephesians 2:3; 4:14). The Bible says that the whole head of man is sick. The heart devices
wicked imaginations, and has come far short of the glory of God. All men have become enslaved to sin,
and because sin dwells in the natural man, man is conceived in sin, born in sin, grows up in sin – by
nature and habit, he is a sinner. The natural man cannot resist sin.

My counsel as you prepare to get to the university is what the Bible has to say in the book of Proverbs,'my son give me thine heart and let thine eyes observe my ways'. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. You need to surrender your life to Christ Jesus for your salvation and academics to the Lord for excellence. Do not join others to waste their youthful years in the university. Remember, a sinner is not a christian, and a christian is not a sinner. 'The soul that sinneth it shall die','''the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus our Lord. For those who feel they did not do so well in this JAMB, still believe the God of Miracle. He will still do wonders in your life. Having said this, I will like to invite you to a great crusade coming in July 23-24, at Eagle square in Abuja, organised by the Lords' Chosen Charismatics Revival Movement.

God bless you

BIBLE DOCTRINE 3: THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS

[b]God’s Word teaches:
The virgin birth of Jesus, the only begotten Son of God. The crucifixion, death, burial, and bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ – Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-25; Romans 1:4; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4.

“The virgin birth” teaches that Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, was miraculously conceived by the virgin Mary. Prophetically, this was foretold in the Old Testament and became literally fulfilled later in the New Testament (Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14). The virgin birth is thus an essential doctrinal truth, which must be upheld for its fact and significance. Disputing this cardinal doctrine is by implication, denying Christ’s Deity and His distinctive spotlessness, which the natural man lacked that disqualified every other man from satisfying God’s demand at Calvary. He, therefore, became the spotless Lamb of God found in fashion as a man.

God was the first to unveil the virgin birth of Christ when He referred to Him as the “seed of the woman” (Genesis 3:15). This was alluding to the fact that Christ would be conceived by a woman who had never known a man. The prophet Isaiah in his proclamation said, “Behold, a virgin shall
conceive, and bear a son….” (Isaiah 7:14). The word virgin as used in this reference, has obvious meaning and can be nothing else but a woman that has Not known a man. Luke in his Gospel narrative [/b]recorded that the angel Gabriel was sent to a virgin, betrothed to a man and that the virgin’s name was Mary (Luke 1:34). Matthew in his Gospel narrated that Mary was espoused to Joseph and that before they came together, she was found with a child of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:18). He further recorded that Joseph knew her not till she had brought forth her first-born son, and he called His name JESUS. Jesus sometimes referred to people as His mother, His brothers and sisters, but never referred to any mortal man as His Father, not even Joseph (Matthew 12:49,50; 22:41-46; John 8:54-58). He always referred to God as His Father and this is another proof of His virgin birth. Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, wrote that in the fullness of time, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman. This was

BIBLE DOCTRINE 2: THE GODHEAD CONTINUES

The testimony of scriptures on the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ reveals the perfect unity of the Godhead. It was God’s anointing and the Power of the Holy Ghost that enabled Jesus to fulfill His ministry (Acts 10:38). The divine-human relationship also confirms God in three persons perfecting the relationship of man with the triune God (Ephesians 2:18). The complimentary functions of the Trinity are referred to in almost all the books of the New Testament (Matthew 3:16,17; 28:19; Mark1:10; John 16:7-15; 6:37,44; Romans 8:16; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Ephesians 5:25; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Corinthians 12:4,7; Acts 10:38).

The three personalities in the Godhead acted together in the incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ. God the Father did not only make His Son available to assume the garb of human flesh preparatory for His vicarious mission (John 3:16), He dispatched an angel to announce the impending birth of the Saviour of the whole world by a virgin. This was a supernatural work that was subsequently fully perfected by
the power of the Holy Ghost (Luke 1:26,35).

Further proof of the truth about the Godhead became clear at the baptism of Jesus Christ, when the Father sent the Holy Ghost in bodily form as a dove upon Christ, and God Almighty Himself made a public proclamation of Jesus as His beloved Son (Matthew 3:16,17). Even at the onset of His ministry, Jesus affirmed the companionship of God the Father and the Holy Ghost with Him. It was only by their combined workings that He was to fulfill His multi-pronged ministry of preaching the gospel, healing the sick, delivering the captives, etc. (Luke 4:18). Truly, the work of redemption, which Christ completed by submitting Himself to die on the cross, was a joint venture with the Father and the Holy Ghost
(Hebrews 9:14), as was the second work of grace, sanctification or holiness, by which man is cleansed from his in-bred depravity, the fallen nature he inherited form Adam (John 17:17; Romans 15:16).

BIBLE DOCTRINE 2: THE GODHEAD

God’s Word teaches:
That the Godhead consists of three separate, distinct, and recognizable personalities and
qualities, perfectly united in one. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are different
Persons in the Godhead, not merely three names for one Person – Matthew 3:16,17; 2
Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19,20.

The Godhead consists of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. The Bible clearly teaches that each
member of the Godhead is God; separate, distinct and recognizable personalities and qualities perfectly united in one. The Father is called God (1 Corinthians 8:6; Psalm 89:26; 1 Chronicles 29:10; Matthew 6:9), the Son, Jesus Christ, is called God (Isaiah 9:6,7; John 20:28; Hebrews 1:, and the Holy Ghost is called God (Acts 5:3-4; 1 Corinthians 3:16,17; 6:19,20; Hebrews 3:7-9; 10:15,16; Jeremiah 31:31-34). From the foregoing it is clear that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are three distinct Persons, co-eternal, co-existent and co-equal in power and divine attributes that make each God. The word “GOD” in Genesis 1:1 means Elohim and in Hebrew language this is the plural of El (The Strong One). “Elohim” (The Strong Ones) appear more than 2,700 times in the Old Testament and this plurality is seen in: “Let us make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness”; “The LORD said…. let us go down, and there confound their language” (Genesis 1:26; 3:22; 11:6,7; John 14:23; Psalm 2:3). The Godhead is also referred to as the Holy Trinity (Romans 1:20).
The unity of the Godhead is scripturally evidenced in the execution of all divine plans and purposes. At creation, a significant fact about the Godhead emerged with the use of the plural noun “us”, by God Himself (Genesis 1:26). Elementarily, this implies the involvement of more than one personality in the creation of man. The same word continued to recur first, after the fall of man (Genesis 3:22), and on the threshold of God’s perfection to curb the foolish excesses of man, by wisely confounding him with diverse languages (Genesis 11:7).

The purpose of the Bible then is to reveal God to man, reveal man’s need of God and show man the way to God. Man by searching cannot find God except God makes Himself known to him (Job 11:7).
The Bible also reveals to man how to live, and through the fulfillment of its prophecies all human needs are met. We receive salvation, sanctification, Holy Ghost baptism, healing, deliverance, protection, etc. For us to profit maximally from the study of the Bible, all hindrances to spiritual receptivity must be removed: such as hardened heart (Matthew 13:3-6, 18-21), double-mindedness (James 1:8; Mark 4:15-17), pride (Deuteronomy 8:11-14; Psalm 101:5; Proverbs 18:12), carnality (1 Corinthians 3:1-5) and unbelief (Matthew 13:58).

The central theme of the Bible is CHRIST and HIS WORK OF REDEMPTION (John 20:31; Luke 24:25-27; Revelation 1:1). He is The Old Testament concealed, and He is The New Testament revealed. To fully understand the Bible and to rightly interpret its messages; we must first receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and have a clear and definite experience of conversion. Those who do not know Christ and those who have wrong conceptions about The Bible has a Ministry to unbelievers as well as to believers too. To unbelievers, the Bible brings conviction for sin, which leads to repentance and faith in Christ Jesus. To believers the goals of the Bible are various. It is to make believers perfect (Psalm 119:9, 11), to reveal the condition of their hearts (Hebrews 4:12; Jeremiah 17: 9, 10), it is a light to the believers feet (Psalms 119:105; 130), the food of the soul (Deuteronomy 8:3; John 21:17; psalm 19:10; Matthew 4:4), a medicine to the body and soul (Proverbs 4:20-22; Psalms 107:20; Matthew 8: and the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17; Matthew 4:1-11). It is a mirror to reflect (James 1:23); a hammer to convict, and a fire to refine (Jeremiah 23:29); seed to multiply (1 Peter 1:23); leaver to cleanse (Ephesians 5:26; John 15:3); rain and snow to refresh (Isaiah 55:10); gold to enrich (Psalm 19:7-10); and power to create life and faith (1 Peter 1:23; Romans 10:17).

ON BIBLE DOCTRINE:

BIBLE DOCTRINE 1: THE HOLY BIBLE

God’s Word teaches: That the Holy Bible, consisting of 39 books of the Old Testament and 27 books of the New Testament, is the inspired Word of God. We take the Bible as the final authority in all matters concerning Christian conduct and work – 2 Timothy 3: 16,17; Proverbs 30: 5,6; Revelation 22:18,19.

The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God and is the only source of knowledge from the Almighty God to all mankind. It is the contact point between finite man and the Infinite God; and its prime purpose is to give mankind a revelation of God (2 Timothy 3:15-17). The Bible is severally referred to as the Holy Scriptures (Romans 1:2; 2 Timothy 3:15), the oracles of God (Romans 3:2; Hebrews 5:12), the Book of the Lord (Isaiah 34:16), the word of God (Mark 7:13), the word of Christ (Colossians 3:16) and the word of life (Philippians 2:16). It is in two major parts; the Old and the New Testaments. It consists of 66 books; 39 of which are in the Old Testament, 27 in the New Testament. The Bible was originally written predominantly in Hebrew and Greek. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew and Aramaic, while the New Testament was written in the Greek language. Over 40 authors drawn from disparate generations spanning a period of over 1800 years were used by God to write the Bible. Even though their occupations, education and social classes were divergent, their theme was the same as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:20). The inspiration of the authors can be attested to by some peculiar characteristics of the Bible, which are not found in any other book written by man. Such characteristics include its wonderful unity despite the fact that the authors lived in different ages; its versatility as it meets the needs of all people irrespective of race and language (Matthew 4:4). Its superiority to other books, the influence on individuals and nations; its preservation over the centuries, its fulfilled prophecies (Isaiah 7:4; Ezekiel 36:19; 2 Chronicles 7:19,20) and its perfection (Psalms 19:7; James 1:25).

In Hebrew 13:4, the Bible says that,'marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge'. Pre-marrital sex is sin. The solution is repentance and salvation.

This calls for genuine repentance and turning away from all appearance of evil.

A SINNER IS NOT A CHRISTIAN, A CHRISTIAN IS NOT A SINNER (I JOHN 3:9,. 'HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL, '
A CHRISTIAN IS NOT A SEDUCER, A SEDUCER IS NOT A CHRISTIAN. IF YOU SEDUCE MEN OR WOMEN TO HELL, AND YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN, WHICH HEAVEN? ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS SIN (I JOHN 5:17a).
