BE A BERE\u00c4N – EXAMINE Before You Say AMEN: It Doesn’t Matter WHO Speaks or Write!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s\ntime not to be MISTAKEN in any matter of DOING LIFE and LIVING IN GODLINESS; be\nSCRIPTURALLY certain before saying – AMEN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK (ACT), slow to wrath: 20 for the wrath of man worketh not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God”<\/em> James 1:19-20 (Emphasis Mine)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\nsay ‘AMEN’ is gracious and graceful if you understand the intent. For to ‘AMEN’\nis to spiritually agreed within you of a cause with your spirit, in affirmation\nto God’s Word by the Holy Spirit on a matter, spoken or written by you or\nsomeone else. It’s more than a mere word, it has spiritual implication and\nassertion, hence it’s not for a joke or wishy-washy affirmation statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes\nwhen I read and examine the content of what people are saying AMEN and BLESS\nme, I wonder what kind of generation is being raised in the Body of Christ, who\nought to make a difference by the WORD in the illumination of the Holy Spirit\nand not by affirming in allegiance to a man they ignorantly look up to and or\nfor selfishness or self centeredness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT\nGENERATION DO YOU CLASS YOURSELF? IS IT A GENERATION BLESS ME, OR GENERATION\nAMEN OR GENERATION BLESS ME AND AMEN, OR WHICH? OR THE GENERATION THAT ENSURE\nGOD’S WORD RULES AND REIGN SUPREME NO MATTER WHO SPEAKS OR WRITE OR HAVE\nWRITTEN?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nam just pondering how people just say AMEN and BLESS ME to every form of post,\nwhich may be written or spoken in various media formats, simply because someone\nclassed important said it. Did people ever READ the CONTENT, LISTEN and\nUNDERSTOOD the STATEMENT and much more affirm if it is SCRIPTURALLY written or\nrecorded and it’s what it means in grace?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nyou amen as God’s child what only makes common sense and there’s no\ninspiration, revelation and empowerment of grace in such, it becomes a joke.\nAnd a joke does not bring about God’s grace to any one or enhances you to\nbecome what that statement is in grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*For example, someone said God wants to make you a millionaire, come forth and give a millionaire offering. You jump up and say amen. That’s falsehood. God never promised that in the scriptures. Besides, if you become a millionaire overnight by being hastened and your problems become millions, what difference does it make then in you. Will it not to have been better living by God’s gracious act of prosperity as in the Scriptures (3 John 2\/Deuteronomy 8:18)<\/strong>, than the sudden millionaire spell and syndrome*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great Apostle and emeritus Paul, who wrote by inspiration, revelation and empowerment of grace more than half of the epistle of the New Testament Bible which we all read to do life daily, was EXAMINE daily (Acts 17:10-13; 2 Peter 3:14-18)<\/strong> of the SPOKEN or WRITTEN epistles of his, more else these last days of titles, adulteration, falsehood, photoshop, self imaging and mere words coated with philosophy of common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s\nthe NEED to EXAMINE what you read or hear for your own good in God’s grace and\nBLESSEDNESS, before you become a joke with the joker. Therefore THINK and LEARN\nfrom the BERE\u00c4N BELIEVER’S’ towards Apostle Paul as it’s written:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES daily, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” <\/em>Acts 17:10-12.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” <\/em>Matthew 22:29.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE THYSELF in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” <\/em>1 Timothy 3:15.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be DILIGENT that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD, which they that are UNLEARNED AND UNSTABLE WREST, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. 18 But GROW IN GRACE, AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen”<\/em> 2 Peter 3:14-18.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
