00:00 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today the power of Christ Daily 9 January 2016, titled True Purpose of Scripture. True purpose of Scripture, brothers and sisters. Scripture.

00:15 Scripture is the word of God, is from the Bible, the Bible itself. There is some teachings, many teachings. Now, many people all over the world are teaching this, but without quoting scripture, where they get it from.

00:30 But they will quote several Old Testament scriptures and including New Testament scriptures and make inferences on how it should be. One of the things that they teach is that when you use, when you correct somebody, when you preach or teach somebody
something, if they feel condemned, if they feel condemned, then your preaching is wrong. You’re preaching a ministry of death or something.

00:58 Yes, Old Testament, the ministry of death. The New Testament is ministry of life. And I’ve given a segment on this.

01:04 God has made me teach a segment on this ministry of death, ministry of life. You can check it out for yourself now, brothers and sisters, this is another tactic of the devil that he has come sending people sheep, wolves in sheep clothing and have a
tactic and making people think that what the word of God says is and how you should feel and all that. Brothers and sisters, when somebody teaching or preaching or correcting you of counseling, if you’re feeling condemned, it’s nothing to do with
the teacher, the counselor.

01:44 If they are quoting scripture to you and they’re quoting, and truthfully, they’re saying what is wrong with you, what you’re doing is wrong, what is going on wrong. And they also tell you how to get it right in Jesus name, through Jesus Christ. So
the teaching should be one, if there’s something you’re doing wrong, you’re committing sin or whatever and hurting others or whatever.

02:09 And you go for counsel. And then in counsel they’re saying two or three witnesses what you have done. And they say this, this you have done.

02:17 Please, brother or sister, you have to change. You have to now under the word of God, this is the word of God. You cannot do these things.

02:25 Now get out in the name of Jesus Christ. You can cast out. You can cast out.

02:27 You can cast out the spirit that’s catching you, or you can almost command the heart and mind in the name of Jesus Christ. And the steps to take for you to take, fasted prayer, whatever they’re telling you and then they are telling you, helping you,
they are not condemning you. So the devil’s tactic is make people, oh, I feel condemned, I feel condemned.

02:55 So if I feel condemned, you are wrong. How is the counselor wrong? If he is quoting scripture, he is telling you where he is wrong. And two or three has said that you have done this, and they have proven you have done this or you are doing this, and
you know you are doing this.

03:07 And then, so this is a tactic of the devil where he doesn’t want you to take responsibility for your own action. That’s one of the tactics of the devil. Tactic of the devil is you don’t take responsibility for your own action.

03:19 Always blaming your wife or your husband or the church or somebody else, or the pastor or the servant or the elder, blaming somebody else, blaming your neighbor, all that blaming, blaming, blaming is never, hey, I have taken responsibility. I have
done this. My heart and mind is doing this.

03:38 My mind is thinking like this. My heart is wicked doing this. And then when they point out the thing, oh, I feel condemned.

03:45 And therefore you are teaching wrong, you are teaching condemnation. You are not giving me joy. Brothers and sisters, let’s see what God’s word is in the Bible.

03:58 What’s the purpose of scripture when they quote you scripture and when they quote you scripture, if you say, no, no, no, you could have quoted the scripture in a different way, of course. Every servant, I’m talking to you pastors, when you’re
talking, when you’re correcting people using scripture, also your heart must be filled with hope that they change with believing Christ, that Christ will help them and change them. Christ will change them.

04:24 And believing that they will submit to the authority of Christ, that they kneel down and worship him. They’ll kneel down and say, I’ll obey the word of God. They will begin wanting to obey the word of God, not obey the pastor or the servant or obey
me or whatever.

04:37 When I minister, my ministry is full of hope and belief, but correction has to be done because otherwise how will they know they are in sin? Suppose you go to a doctor and says, okay, you found a lump somewhere deep in you and you can’t know and he
has to tell you, there’s a lump. Oh, you’re condemning me. Oh, you’re condemning me.

04:56 He found a lump through his test and he said, there is a lump or a growth there and oh, you’re condemning me. I don’t like it. I feel upset.

05:05 I feel condemned. What rubbish is this? This is what the devil managed to do in among the judges, because. And so people leave the church or people will leave the congregation, or people will say, that pastor is too hard and do this when actually he
has pointed out the truth.

05:23 When the pastor, the servant, the counselor is pointing out the truth and you say, no, you could have told the truth nicely. Hey, nicely is a subjective thing. When you want solution.

05:36 When you go to a doctor and he says there’s a lump in your test, show there’s a lump in your liver. Oh, you’re there. You’re growing roughly.

05:46 You’re drooling this the fact is there’s a lump in the liver is not how he told you. He might be busy and he told you, brother, this is like this. Please change and it’s the word of God or go and get counsel or something.

05:58 Oh, you’re pandering me. Oh, you’re making me feel bad. If you’re feeling bad, it’s for you to get rid of feeling bad and get to God.

06:05 How do you get to Christ? Alright, getting seeking the kingdom of God, righteousness, peace and joy. Get the righteousness, peace and joy from Christ the servant, the pastor or the disciple cannot give you the joy no one can give you. And joy from
Jesus cannot come until you confess your sin, admit and repent and turn from your wicked ways and go.

06:26 Only then can happen. But if you keeping your sin and you say I feel condemned just because somebody pointed out your sin. Oh, they can point out I’m a drunkard, I’m a womanizer, I’m a this, I’m that I cheated people.

06:40 They can point out, but they can point out differently. They can point out nicely. Oh yes, I’ve cheated people using MLM or whatever.

06:49 I just caught people and made them into trouble because I induced them into paying so much money into mlm. Yes, yes, true, true. But then you can told nicely.

06:58 Now you’re making me feel condemned. Making me feel condemned. Brothers and sisters, the thing is, if the soul wants to change, God has called the soul, he’ll prepare the soul.

07:12 So now you want to change you please go to Christ. Don’t keep focusing on what anybody My neighbor said that my husband said this, my wife said this, my children did that, this, that, this, that is a spirit that does not want to take accountability
for your own doing won’t work. You cannot be set free to be set free.

07:35 When I came to Jesus Christ. I cannot say that. I didn’t say at the time, you know, my wife said this.

07:43 That is why I was in adultery. What rubbish is that? Yeah, of course my wife was a fallen nature woman. I was a bigger fallen nature, terribly fallen nature fella.

07:52 So of course I can use my voice to go, oh, my wife did something. No, I have to take accountability for who made the marriage covenant. I made the marriage covenant.

08:01 So I have to stay with it. If I made the marriage covenant, then after that I said no. My wife said this.

08:07 No. The marriage covenant is this. When you marry.

08:11 Very simple. In Christ, we marry. Sometimes we marry in the church.

08:15 So we say, for better or for worse. Now, when we marry, the rule is, I surrender my authority over my body to my wife. My wife surrenders her authority over her body to me, and I surrender my authority and I must love her as my own flesh.

08:37 And she is to submit to me as she submits unto the Lord. She doesn’t submit to me as I wish. She doesn’t submit to me as I want to do.

08:47 She submits to me as she submits unto the Lord. Will the Lord do the wrong things and ask my wife to submit? No. Go.

08:54 So if I can’t do wrong things, tell my wife, okay, you submit to this. Although I’m doing the wrong thing. Will the Lord do the wrong thing and ask Lord Jesus Christ, if you do the wrong thing and ask my wife to submit to him.

09:06 No way. She submits to me as she submits unto the Lord Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, this fallacy, this wrong thing, has gone into the churches so much that correction has become impossible.

09:20 And therefore many churches don’t correct because they are afraid. The pastor is afraid they will be accused of condemning people. So, brothers and sisters, today I speak to pastor, servants, disciples, counselors.

09:35 You first of all, examine yourself and make sure you go to Christ before you do any counsel or whatever. And make sure, as you know, let’s not look at the speck in our brother’s or sister’s eye. Let’s look at the log in our own eye.

09:48 Take out the log as the Lord Jesus Christ commands us in the Bible, and then look at the speck in the brother’s eye. Now the scripture is first. Second Timothy 3.

10:00 I’m going to read first from Catholic Edition. Easy to read Version and amplify if possible, if time allows. But let’s see, second Timothy 3, 15, 17 and how from childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to instruct you for
salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

10:25 15 sacred writings that are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. How does salvation comes? Through faith in Christ Jesus, not through anybody else, through faith in Christ Jesus. 16.

10:40 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. All Scripture 2nd Timothy 3, 16. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction and
for training in righteousness.

11:04 What is his reproof? Reproof, you check the Bible is a question of looking at who do we blame? What is the blame? Is there a blame somewhere here? Also checking on blame because in accident, car accident, what is the court? What does court? If you
go to court, what the court wants to do, want to see who is at blame and apportioning blame, they may be apportioned the blame. 50, 50 or 30, 70. Let us say somebody knocks into somebody else and they are in court.

11:34 The court may say, a, you are 70% to be blamed. B, you’re 30% to be blamed. And therefore the amount of damage, let’s say the person, the person who’s 70%.

11:47 So the person has to pay 70% to this theft. So the other person, let’s say 100,000 damage because of injury or whatever, car loss or whatever. So 70% only they pay because the person who’s asking for compensation is 30% to be blamed.

12:01 So there’s an apportionment of blame and all that. There’s a reproof and say rebuke. That means you’re wrong.

12:06 Somebody deciding you are wrong. That is what scripture is saying. But what is this demonic teaching saying? Oh, if you say they are wrong, you are condemning them.

12:15 No, you are not condemning them because you know some scriptures have been worded to say it’s for edification. Edification means to bring joy to you, to be settling you. Yes, true, but it’s not false settlement, it’s not false belief.

12:30 I’m fantastic. I feel good. I feel good.

12:33 Now there’s a TV here, the advertisement. I feel good. No, no, it’s not feel good.

12:39 Your feelings don’t count here. First, what is true, what is right, what is wrong? Then if you’re feeling blue, if you’re feeling disturbed because of the word of God, then the word of God is convicting you. It’s convicting you.

12:53 And if you’re training for righteousness, then you use the word of God, then you use the power of Jesus Christ. Command all this and turn from your evil ways and get on with this. Now, second, then the 17 says, second Timothy 3:17, so that everyone
who belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work.

13:14 Why this teaching, reproof, correction and training in righteousness is for so that everyone who belongs to God. Now if you are telling somebody who does not belong to God, of course they are going to get angry with you. So brothers and sisters and
pastors and others, don’t be afraid.

13:33 You first humble yourself, tell the truth, use scripture. Scripture is the only one can change. The word of God will go and not return void and accomplish what it set out to do.

13:44 Only the word of God can change people. Our now Christian psychology. They’re using psychology, it seems.

13:50 But many times they don’t use the word of God. If they don’t use the word of God, your psychology statements or whatever, or false humility, hello brother, you are insane, you can change and all that. And the child goes away feeling good.

14:02 There’s no scripture to say what will happen to him. A soul, a sinner could surely die. No, no such scripture.

14:09 So a soul that continues to sin and practices sin is born of the devil. No scripture. So you don’t use the scripture.

14:16 The soul goes away without feeling good because nobody has told him. Look, these are bad news here. What you’re doing is going to harm you or he’s harming you already.

14:24 And then God will hold you accountable. Brother. This is second Timothy 3, 15, 17 from the Easy read version.

14:31 You have known the Holy Scriptures since you were a child. These scriptures are able to make you wise. And that wisdom leads to salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

14:41 All scripture is given by God. And all scripture is useful for teaching and for showing people what is wrong in their lives. So you have to show through scripture what is wrong in their life.

14:53 And somebody doesn’t accept it. After two or three counselors are telling you, this is wrong in your life, brother. This wrong in your life, sister.

15:01 Then you leave them alone because you cannot correct them. We are just human beings. We are supposed to be teaching.

15:04 We are supposed to be teaching, correcting, training with the word of God. Now it is useful for correcting faults and teaching the right way to live. 17 Using the Scriptures, those who serve God will be prepared and will have everything they need to
do every good work.

15:26 Brothers and sisters, now I’m rushing through because time is running out. In 2 Timothy 3, 15, 17amplified. And now, from childhood you have known the sacred writings, Hebrew scriptures, which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation
through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

15:42 And what is his faith in Christ Jesus? Surrendering your entire self to him and having absolute confidence in his wisdom, power and goodness. You, the person receiving it, must have absolute confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God’s
Word. If they don’t accept the power, wisdom and goodness in God’s Word, it won’t work.

16:02 But the devil continue whacking them, the life will become worse and worse because the devil knows this person doesn’t want to follow the word of God, so he has got full access to the fellow of the person and continue working them. All Scripture God
breathed is profitable for instruction, conviction of sin, correction of error and restoration to obedience for training as righteousness, learning to live in conformity to God’s will. Learning to live in conformity to God’s will so that a man of
God may be complete proficient.

16:35 One is learning to be conformity in God’s will, both publicly and privately, behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage. Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, today I pray.

16:47 When somebody is showing Scripture to you where you’ve gone wrong, accept it. That’s the first step. Accept it.

16:53 Do not talk about how they told you, where they told you, who told you, Is it true? Go to God in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I pray. Amen.
