Excerpt from Reverend Ann’s book – THE DIVINE MANDATE
1. Christianity is the ONLY Faith where The Creator lives inside His creation. That is, The worshipped lives inside the worshipper. God The Creator lives and dwells in His creation.
ONLY in Christianity that Our God LIVES/DWELLS in us. We house Our Sovereign God,God of the Universe, The Creator of it all. Hallelujah!. What an Honour!. Praise God Forever. God of the Universe found it FIT to live inside His creation. (Such a humbling situation).
” I in them and You in Me —so that they may be brought to COMPLETE UNITY. Then the world will know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me. John 17:23.”
We are His home and He is Our home too. He relaxes in us. We are His REST and He is Our REST. In Him we live move and have our reason of existence. His Presence/Glory is home/heaven to us. Us and Him we are intertwined, together as one sealed by His Spirit Eternally. You can’t see His end in us and you can’t see our end in Him. It’s a cycle that runs forever.
“And I tell you that you are Peter, and on THIS ROCK I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, and the gates of Hades will NOT overcome it. Matthew 16:18.”
2 Christianity is the only faith that has a SAVIOUR!.
In all other religions, your works will save you! But Unfortunately, your works will never be good enough to meet God’s standard.
In Christ Jesus we have met God’s standard of holiness and He calls us holy, Righteous together with Him.
Praise His Holy Name forever.
“Salvation is found in NO ONE ELSE, for there is NO OTHER name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. ONLY THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOUR. Acts 4:12.”
“For it is by GRACE/JESUS you have been saved, through faith —and this is NOT from yourselves, it is the GIFT of God , NOT by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9.” Salvation is a free gift. A Gift is not earned, But it’s ONLY received because it’s freely given to you without the participation of your performances.
3. In Christianity, we call Our God ” Our Friend because it’s ONLY in a real Life/breathing partnership there can be friendship that results to union, communion and fellowship. And in friendship it’s a two way communication. You can’t communicate with a dead idol or a dead being/person.
” COME NOW, and LET US REASON TOGETHER, says the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.” YOU ONLY REASON OUT TOGETHER WITH A FRIEND. You two lay things on the table inorder to talk them out and give your views and understanding about it. Hallelujah!.
“May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the FELLOWSHIP of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2Corinthians 13:14.”. Fellowship is ONLY done by two or more communing people in agreement, in communication and walking in understanding of each other.ONLY Christianity that requires to have a PERSONAL INTIMATE relationship with Our Lord God Almighty. But to other religions, it’s not a requirement to them to have a relationship with their gods. Christianity demands a relationship with It’s Founder.
4.In Christianity, we BOND with Our God as Our Dear/Abba Father. As Our Daddy. Just as a son/daughter and father.
“The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to SONSHIP. And by Him we call Him Abba Father.The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that WE ARE GOD’S CHILDREN. Romans 8:15-16.”
“For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love, He predestined us for adoption to SONSHIP THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, in accordance with His pleasure and will. Ephesians 1:4-5.”
5. In Christianity we believe in A Resurrected Being. In a Resurrected God. Therefore , we cling and FOLLOW Him because we know that He Who Has the power to conquer death is also very able to RAISE US UP from that grave and snatch us out of death.Therefore Our God is A living God Who is breathing and able to give Life in abundance.
” My purpose is TO GIVE you a rich and SATISFYING LIFE. John 10:10.”
” Since we have flesh and blood, Jesus too shared in our humanity so that by His death He might BREAK the power of the devil who was holding the power of death and Jesus freed those who all their lives were HELD IN SLAVERY BY THEIR FEAR OF DEATH. Hebrews 2:14-15.”
“And if the Spirit of Him Who RAISED JESUS from the dead IS LIVING IN YOU, He Who raised Christ from the dead WILL ALSO GIVE LIFE to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit Who lives in you. Romans 8:11.”
“Come, FOLLOW Me,” Jesus said, Matthew 4:19.”
Build your person upon the Person of Jesus Christ. Know Him in every aspect. He is Your Cornerstone and a Friend Who sticks more Closer than a brother.
” Jesus answered, ‘I am the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE. NO ONE COMES to the Father EXCEPT THROUGH ME. John 14:6.” Hallelujah!.
You are Highly Favoured and Highly Blessed in Jesus Name.
