EVANGEL AFRICA

If you were present in our last article we discussed how Christianity is packed-full with scandals, strange doctrines, sexual sins, false prophecies and a whole lot of weird things that we cannot discuss online – ever since the charismatic prosperity kingdom took over the house of the Lord .  With the borrowed time that the Lord has given us, let us address more of these troubles until we get to the solution for all of this. A love for titles Certainly, Scripture encourages us to desire spiritual gifts for the edification of the Church. Yet nowhere in the Bible does it tell us that these spiritual gifts make us superior to other believers . Neither are we told to boast about those gifts nor to look down on those with different gifts. This bad mindset has corrupted many of the brethren who (without any biblical qualification) now seek to give themselves titles in the name of ‘Apostle’, ‘Prophet’, ‘Overseer’  – to mention just these – with the hopes that these titles mean that t...

Evangel Africa does not glory in controversies but that everyone may come to the truth of the Gospel as written in Scripture, hence we do encourage everyone to test all our teachings in light of what the Bible says. On that note, without fear or favour, we are going to correctly explain the real truth about tithe that you were never told; its origin and its application to the New Testament believers . This might be the most important thing you will ever read. First, understand this The foundation of all this must begin with your understanding about Covenants. There are two main covenants in the Bible, the Old Covenant and the New Covenant . The Old Covenant was a binding agreement between God and specifically the people of Israel, through strict obedience of the Law in return for God’s blessings (Duet 28:1-14) – while the New Covenant is a binding agreement between God and all people through the work of Jesus on the Cross in return to doing nothing but just faith in Christ (Heb 8:6-13)...

Grace is simply undeserved kindness that God shows upon His creatures. It is His ability to bless even the worst of sinners like us, without asking anything back. I have come to learn that there are two kinds of graces; common grace and special grace. Let us look at these further. Common grace is the overall common goodness of the Lord bestowed upon all of His creatures without discrimination, and free of charge . Consider how all of us freely enjoy the warm winter sunshine, which also gives us light. How much do we pay for a breath of fresh air? Think about a good summer rain that graciously gives the abundant waters to quench our thirst (Act 14:17). Have you ever wondered why the world’s evilest people who cheat, rape and murder, and those who publicly blaspheme God and scorn at Him; are still allowed by the same God to breathe and equally enjoy the beauties of nature like the rest of us (Mat 5:45). Think of yourself; no matter how much you have sinned, no matter how long you spent y...

Just to give you a road map of where we are going, first we are going to discuss the real problem of sexual sin among believers then we end with helping each other to work on the solution. Sexual sin is any sexual act, motive or thought that is outside the bounds of marriage. It ranges from lust to porn, fornication to masturbation. According to an internet survey; over 50% of Christian men and 20% of Christian ladies admit to pornography addiction. Even worse is the fact that this also has a grip on our trusted spiritual leaders; the pastors, of which 63% admitted to sexual addiction of some kind.  Silence from the Church Even worse than concerning is the fact that the Church is silent to confront or discuss about this issue to find ways of helping believers in dealing with their secret struggles with lust. It's just silence! Being silent about something may indicate ignorance, but I think many church leaders do desire to deal with this issue but they just don't know how. I re...

Remember the people in the Bible called the Pharisees, what about the Tax collectors and the Scribes? Studying the different characteristics of these people we discover that there are Pharisees, Scribes and Taxcollectors in the Church today. You might be one of them or at least sit next to one in your church. Pharisees  were the teachers of the Law of Moses but they never cared about obeying it themselves, they loved long prayers &public fastings to be seen by men. In short, they were hypocrites and pretenders. Pharisees in the Church are people whose faith is but a show-off to others. They are the people whose profession of faith is the complete opposite of their lifestyle. Are you a pharisee or is your faith genuine? If not please repent and seek the Lord out of a pure heart. Scribes were the ones given the privilege of translating the written law from one scroll( book) to another. They were also tasked with writing whatever was being preached in the temple. In short, Scribe...

Hebrews 11:32-40  And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.  And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided...
