The Guide Marks
Here are some of the qualities by which you know a true church oof God:
- The Word Of God
The word of God is found in the various holy books of the world religions. They include scriptures, sacred texts, revelations, etc. I must warn you – Do not think that your holy book is all there is to know, for there are many things, which are not written, forgotten or unknown.
- The Holy Spirit
Without the Holy Spirit, no one can please God or live a life of righteousness.
- Righteousness
The righteousness of God is defied by any religion. Instead, it is revealed by God through His ministering Angels. That is why children of God should read the holy books and writings to know and master the righteousness of God. When you know the truth, you shall be amazed. And reading one holy book is not enough.
- Holiness
It is disappointing that most of the churches mention that God is holy, and yet do not teach their members how to live a holy life. Holiness in our everyday life is not only necessary, but also compulsory.
- The Truth
For you to enter the kingdom of God, you should seek and find the truth, not all these man-made religions, which are often conflicting. And you must continue to search until you find. You shall know the truth and the truth shall et you free.
- Prophecy
Prophecy is the evidence of truth. It is indispensable in the life of children of God. To serve God without prophecy is nothing but hypocrisy.
- Spiritual Science
God is spirit. Again, the realities in spirit are quite different from what we experience in our everyday earthly life. That is why a study of Spiritual Science is compulsory. Beware of any reverend minister of God who is not trained in Spiritual Science.
- Prayer
Prayer is the master key to all spiritual and physical attainment. The Bible confirms this – “Not by power nor by might, but by my spirit,” says the Lord.
- Worship
- Evangelism
- Welfare
Welfare, charity, is more important to God than the everyday religious pieties of the ignorant multitudes. Examine the congregation of your churches today, you shall be surprised to know that many did not eat the day before yesterday, they did not eat yesterday and have nothing to eat even today that they are in the church. This calls for serious concern and concerted efforts. Do not be deceived by the beautiful or flamboyant dresses of the people.
- Etc.
