WHAT IS DOCTRINE?

Doctrine is a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church, political party, or any other group. Another name for doctrine is the teaching of a church. Every church has its own tenets of faith which consist of its articles of faith. We call it “This We Believe”

SERVE THE LORD WITH GLADNESS

We should serve God with a joyful noise, proclaim His name loudly and boldly with shouts of joy, clapping and dancing , making merry to the glory of His name. God wants you to celebrate Him; talk about him, shout, make a loud noise, and let the whole earth hear about Him. It should be a lifestyle for you and your family all the days of your life.

EXERCISING DOMINION

The Church is Christ’s physical body on earth today. Jesus delegated authority to His Church so we can preach the gospel in His name. Jesus said” All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore (as a result of this possession of all authority and as a consequence of it) and make disciples of all the nations”.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR DOMINION IN CHRIST JESUS

God created man on earth for him to dominate earth and take charge of it under God. God made man in His likeness. Man was created to have dominion on earth just like God. Since man is the only creature created like God, it is unfathomable that man would be subservient to any other creature. Dominion was Adam’s natural status just like God.

YOUR DIVINE IDENTITY

God created us in His true image in Christ Jesus and so we cannot see ourselves as anything less. We are not grasshoppers while sin, Satan, the world, sickness etc. are giants. A wrong identity will build weakness into your life and produce failure even before the fight.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ISAIAH

Prophet Isaiah was one of the greatest prophets. He prophesied about God’s plan of salvation through Christ Jesus. He wrote about the gospel thereby confirming the writings of our Lord Jesus. He started by making us know how to receive the Gospel. It is received by faith only. NOT BY WORKS!

WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE VS WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE

A major problem most Christians face is ignorance. We are all familiar with the Scripture that says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. If you are ignorant in any area of your life, you will not excel in it. Spiritual ignorance means living in a lack of understanding of the revealed truth that is in Christ Jesus.

LIVING BY FAITH

The life of a Christian has to be lived entirely by faith. The bible calls us only to believe, that’s the only requirement for salvation and also for the outworking of the new life we received in Christ Jesus. It is by grace through faith that we were saved. We only receive through faith in Jesus Christ. It is also the same grace that makes us what we are according to Paul, and if it is by grace, it still manifests by faith. That is why the just shall live by faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God. The bible shows us in several places the importance of having personalized faith. 

FORGIVENESS OF SINS

Forgiveness is one of the key things Jesus gave us by dying on the cross. Without it, our sin would never have been truly wiped away; we won’t really have been saved and we would have been subject to God’s wrath. We were made holy through the blood which Jesus shed. Because of His blood, there is forgiveness and He has opened a new way through which we come to God and receive life instead of death.
