Live holy lives, keep faith in God… Christians told
The President of the Leaders Digest, Dr Spencer Duncan has said that many profess Christians are Bible carrier believers but not true Christians who pray and believe in the word of God.
Explaining, he said “the bible carriers always carry the Holy Book on their heads to portray that they know the bible and are seriously in tune with God but are just empty barrels who cannot quote a scripture and show no respect to the Almighty God.”
“Today, we do not have many Christians and even Men of God in the Christendom who can say ‘it is written’ just as Jesus Christ said to Satan. Some just paraphrase the scripture to distort the content, pollute and confuse people and even add things God has not said” he said.
He said the situation had churned out many false teachers, pastors, apostles and especially Prophets taking advantage of the professed Christian who had also failed to study the bible to know its content.
Dr Duncan said this when he preached on the topic “Commanding the Supernatural” at the Mega Kharis International Ministries at Adentan in Accra recently.
He noted that the Bible had given power and authority to man to command things to happen which did not come automatically but through hard work and by having faith in God.
He said it was the grace of God that controlled the supernatural world and it was the spirit-filled believer who had the ability to understand what went on in the spiritual realm.
He said that prayer was the most powerful tool, force or weapon on earth where a believer could be in one place and impact situations around the world by simply asking God to intervene.
He advised members of the church to take time and study the bible to enable them pray effectively, live holy lives for the Holy Spirit to fill them, have faith in God and above all walk in love and humility.
To the men of God, he said it was not the level of shouting that showed their level of anointing but rather the grace of God and their level of understanding the word of God.
