We must preach the whole counsel of God. Acts 20:27.
Even Jesus preached about hell and rapture. And the Bible said, looking unto Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith.
He his the sent man. He will preach what God sent him. You are free to preach everything
Pls listen to the message again
Jesus preached everything and he is our standard. Can't believe you don't preach heaven, hell and rapture
No matter what kind of message any preacher is preaching, the purpose for the gospel of Jesus is to bring salvation of soul and to set sinner free from their bondage. So if any minister of God is not preaching about the coming back of Jesus Christ or the gospel calling sinner to repentance, ministering about hell fire and the consequences, that servant of God is missing out the most vital part of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Jesus preach repentance, apostle Paul preach repentance, John the Baptist preach repentance so who are we not to preach it?
And there is no way you will preach it and you will not talk about the coming of Jesus Christ and hell and it consequences. All apostle talked about the coming of Jesus so who are we not to preach about it.
So Christians let wake up from our slumber and do our fathers work diligently. God bless you all
Accurate sir.
Thank very much, they are misleading their followers. Without preaching repentance and hell , it means they are not of God
That preacher may have backslidden
Every message that is preached at Winners always follows with an opportunity to repent and get saved. But we must preach the message God has given us. For example, Billy Graham vs Oral Roberts. One preached healing and the other just preached salvation.
The context is very important. This is a ministers training programme. He did not say don't preach rapture or hell in your church but as a pastor you are called with a specific calling. For emphasis Bishop Abioye makes altar call and encourage sinners to escape from eternal damnation.
Wow,I love your response 👏👏❣️...Thank you so much
Except that making ''altar call and encourage sinners to escape from eternal damnation'' is not the same as preaching the subject of hell. Moreover there is no point in splitting his words. He clearly stated 'we don't preach hell... we don't preach rapture.'
@@TexBrunoTC But to be candid what is the benefit of making a major course out of the subject of failure (hell). Instead why not teach the student what they need to succeed in the examination of life - faith, consecration, obedience to God etc. My 2kobo.
@@owenarasomwan7055 the major benefit is called "BALANCE", bro. According to John 3:16, you'll find the balance of Eternal Life and Eternal Damnation (Hell).
It is well, bro.
@@owenarasomwan7055 And what is the benefit of teaching student what they need to succeed in the examination of life and them ending up in hell fire!
No matter the calling you believe you are given, it's a must for you to preach against sin, preach about hell, rapture, salvation, righteousness, just like Christ did. The Lord Jesus says, "What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and loose he own soul?"
But Jesus preached and warned about hell sir. If its not important, Jesus wont preach about it sir. All aspects of the New Testament teachings are very important.
No matter what any preacher says the Holy Scripture is the standard.
Christ has come to save us from sin, any other message is different from eternal life are from men.
Well spoken.
Amen
The word of God should be preached in its entirety.
I love that even the Bible said
TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS WHATSOEVER I HAVE COMMANDED YOU
@@successsamuel4266 that's why there are different ministry gifts. God's plan is not that one person should preach everything. Each preacher supplies something unique to the body of Christ, all of them don't supply the same thing. Read Ephesians 4:16. Everyone has something to supply different from the other. So when each of these preachers preach their unique messages to the body then we have the full gospel. When God said go and stand in the temple and preach all the words of the life the Kingdom, it was not only one Apostle that was there there were more than one so the subjects were divided among them. Even in high school one teacher does not teach all the subjects. The reason for that is to achieve specialization. Even the Angels don't all do the same thing. The Kingdom of God promotes division of labour. Thank Sir for take time to read this.
So, in a situation whereby it was only one preacher that finds himself in one remote village where they've never heard anything about Jesus, he should say I was only called to preach prosperity, and never teach them about Heaven, Hell or about rapture? Let's be careful of giving the scriptures our own interpretations. When that angel said "go, stand in the synagogue and preach all the words of life, he wasn't telling them to go preach different message. The whole Truth must be preached. How can a preacher say they don't talk about Hell or rapture. Even Bishop Oyedepo himself preaches about Hell and rapture.
@@preachtheword5692 well it's God who gives us assignments to reach out to the lost and usually evangelists excell more in preaching about rapture and hell. But in a situation where a preacher finds himself in a remote area and he happens to be the only preacher there he can preach on every other subject. Though the truth is that God gives a unique message to each man of God to place emphasis. So each man of God has got what he emphasises.
I think you got it wrong. When it comes to messages, every ministry even though they preach the whole gospel is always reputed for one. Deeper Life is renowned for their holiness message. If you invited them to dedicate a house they will still preach holiness there. That's to say they spend more time on their core message. We are talking about believers here not the unsaved who need salvation message. Of course I've seen over time that no matter the message anyone preaches, salvation is always a core - talk of holiness, you must be saved first; talk of prosperity - God won't bless sinners, etc. It's just like doctors, they all specialize in some areas but they all can handle general medicine no matter what.
I believe that the entire word of God should be preached for the purpose of sound doctrine and also to raise knowledgeable end time believers. I don't believe anyone preached hell more than Jesus Christ himself. Otherwise, I agree with the bishop.
You do well to stick to your assignment. No matter what you preach, tailor it to your area of assignment.
What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lost his sole. Just an encounter of hell message I watched on CZcams changed my mind to leave sin and be committed to Jesus Christ. Please our goal is to make heaven else hell is real.
Please which message
May God continue to keep and bless you
“For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.”
Acts 20:27 KJV
Matt 6:33 it's the entirety of the word of God. and that's exactly what we should meditate on, practice and live it.❤❤🎉
The primary reason JESUS CHRIST came on earth is to seek and save the Lost.
Anything we are doing here on Earth that is not consciously and seriously towards that is man's way.
I have come to discover that every genuine follower of Christ will also speak in defence of the Truth. And every follower of men will always speak to defend the man and the establishment that is lubricating their ego. The time has come for every preacher to realise that they do not have monopoly of the knowledge of the Word of God. Neither do they have monopoly of the Revelations nor the Spirit of Christ.
Preachings like this remind me of how far men can go in defending the position of establishments against the Whole counsel of the Word of God.
Truly the very END is here!
Part of the Great Commission is "teaching them to observe ALL things whatsoever I have commanded you". Everything written in the Bible must be preached and taught because they are written for our admonition that we through the comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Selective preaching and teaching is tantamount to "withholding the corn from the people.
I have learnt this long ago from Mike Murdock - the Law of recognition
All scripture is by inspiration of the Holy spirit, preach it in it's entirety
Your explanation may sound welcoming to the ears of man. What what does the word of says about feeding the flock of God. Matt 20: 20. ..... teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded u.
Teaching them to observe all things.
Father, give me the grace to know the message and my boundaries Lord, in Jesus name, AMEN!
The message for this generation is the message of Christ. This s The birth, death, resurrection ad second coming of Christ. Anything that's less of this is needs to be checked.
I stand to disagree we are called to preach the whole counsel of God and warn many of the dangers to come Mark16:15-16
Bishop Oyedepo has preached about hell fire several times and condemned roundly those who preach the message of "once saved, always saved." Do your own and make sure you are ready to meet your Lord when it is time. Some will not be raptured but will have to meet God via the death pathway.
Don't mind them. They are stealing why will they make heaven
I think you took him out of context...he is saying it'd not a focus...Papa hardly preaches in any service without altar call is even if its naming ceremony and so goes to most of the pastors
Wow,... what a message! Thank you!
Very true. During the Codvit 19 plandemic I personally didn’t understand why only a few ministers were bold to condemn it openly.
"you are not sent everywhere"... Deep words Sir.
Hallelujah glory to God,deep revelation indeed. Thank you sir
Very true sir, yet in every true winner pastors still preach salvation. All he is trying to say is cos of many that kept condemning winners that the only preach wealth and faith, but many seems to forget that without faith none can please God. Let’s stop condemning pastors and face our individual calling. God bless His church
God bless you Richard
I agree with you. Your message is your distintives. Paul said I was not sent to baptize - 1Cor.1:17
Yes we hv different assignments and calling but holiness and rapture is to be preached by everyone. He's human is bound to make mistakes may God give us the grace to kn the word as individual
God have mercy. If they preach about hell fire members will run away ooooooo. No body will pay tithes and offerings.....
Thank you man of God . I totally agree whit you. Many people don't have msg to preach because God never send them ,but their sent themselves .May The Lord help His body.
In His word "It's not everything you belive you preach" How?
Shouldn't the whole counsel of God be declared? Half truth is not truth until it is absolute
This message is very deep. I must know my calling and my message so l'll not preach other people's own. Help me Lord Jesus
Then you are no better than Mohammed! You had better get a quran then and enter into your 'calling' and 'message'!
You're correct sir.
Perilous times. The bible said many will gather a preacher to preach what their itching ears want to hear not the sound doctrine. People are seeking miracles instead of God. They are preparing many to make it on earth and not make it to heaven.
Amen
Honestly am shocked and disappointed to hear this kind of message from this man I use to respect.... end time indeed... people will choose what they want to hear and of cause what they want to preach...but the foundation of God stands sure...
.
Thanks
Best message for be season
The summary of Oyedepo's ministry
1. Word of faith from Kenneth Hagin.
2. Word of prosperity by Benny hinn, Benson idahosa and copeland.
3. Word of signs and wonders by David younggi Cho..
Nothing from Jesus Christ our Lord..
Know God for yourself my people..
May God really help His Church.
Amen ooo
There is one message---salvation of humanity through Jesus. Anything other than salvation is not biblical.
Romans 1:16-17
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Mark 16:15-16
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
2 Corinthians 4:13
We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
And if I may add ''''Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the WHOLE MESSAGE of this Life.” Acts 5.20
@@TexBrunoTC God bless you
Amen and amen. It is very true. I am a church leader in South Africa. God has given me a message and he told me several times not to change the message
Yes sir
Many preachers are merely trying to encourage, motivate and inspire their congregation-when oftentimes the Holy Spirit desires to bring conviction to their church because disobedient lifestyle choices block God's Spirit from freely moving and blessing.
In John 16:8, Jesus said that when the Holy Spirit comes, He will convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgement.
God will help us,Jesus himselve spoke about it not that it should be the focus,but all prechers should try to talk about the full Gospel as much as possible
I’m sure you didn’t listen
Very true!
Each prophect have their assignment on earth 🌎
We are to preach the entire message of the scripture. What he is saying is not true. Don't mislead the church. Jesus said, teaching them to observe whatsoever I have commanded you. Jesus Himself preached about hell. The Apostles preached about hell.
What I understand that he is saying is that every minister's calling is different. Yes we are one body but carrying out different assignments for the return of Jesus Christ.
They also preach salvation because souls give their lives to Christ every Sunday.
@@OU-kn9si when they convert them do the teach them about heaven and earth. Do not be carried away with things of the world. How do people make heaven then giving tithes is not enough you have to obey the commandments of God. The thing is if winners preach hell fire no body will come to their church and pay tithes.
Please o. I have seen a lot of comments where people are saying he makes altar call in every of his service, but he said clearly that they don't preach about hell and rapture because they were not called to preach it. Could that mean that altar call is different from preaching about heaven and hell?
I understand that we can have specific message/ministry but let's not forget the Bible made it explicit that the son of God came that all should be saved. No matter your "unique calling or ministry", we should constantly remind people always of reconciliation and the eternal home.
May God help his church!
Thank God for your understanding sir.
Amen
This is true.
Very powerful massage and true
Mathew 24:12 "Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold." If your church doesn't preach about the reality of eternal life and hell... You are in the wrong place
I feel like crying when I heard Bishop Abeoye said “we are not sent to preach about hell fire” e shoke me! Property message is from lucifer!
It's strange
Some of u are gullible ask the holy Spirit to give you understanding ode oshi
@@zachianggandu774 u lack understanding ask the holy Spirit to give you understanding don't come here and say shit as if u know too much ode oshi
You are right because they prefer to preach what people want to hear so as to continue in sin and not be conscious of eternity which is the main purpose of accepting Jesus Christ . If you don't know where you will spend your eternity your faith is in vain.
I don't think this is correct, the word of God must be preached in it's entirety, God bless you sir...I hope your members are aware of the imminent coming of our Lord our Savior Jesus Christ
With due respect, this is not scriptural. Rapture, heaven and hell will outlive the focus message the Bishop said Winners is called to preach. You can emphasise, but never deny people the opportunity to flee from the danger of hell and imminence of rapture. This is a disservice to the members of the church. The essence of church is to bring people to christ. Christ is the ultimate message.
Bishop Abioye is talking to ministers here. Every minister is called to a specific assessment. No matter what they preach, they must remember to focus on their area of calling. If you are called into healing ministry and you now focus on prosperity, you have missed it.
@afiblossom5590 Every ministry must lead to salvation of sinners and building of believers. Christ did not call us to healing, deliverance or prosperity ministry. We are called to preach Christ in His fullness. The choosing of what we preach can be a convenient way to avoid preaching the bitter but true aspects of the Cross of Jesus. Lets focus on ministries like Paul not one big man from America or Nigeria. Jesus is coming soon.
@@femidaniel2400 it's obvious you don't know what ministry is all about.
Bishop Abioye is speaking to ministers, not you. The ministers know what they have been called to do. And it does not exclude salvation of souls.
@afiblossom5590 No your assessment is incorrect. I have been pastoring for decades and know what the Lord called every minister to do. I respect Bishop Abioye but our allegiance is to the word. Jesus did not die for prosperity, nor healing. He died for our salvation and restoring man back to God. When ministries specialise themselves out of God's priority, we do a great disservice to the gospel. You don't need to take my word, go to the bible and review the messages of Christ and his apostles, compare it to the emphasis of many churches today and then you can draw a conclusion.
No one would be judged by how many millonaires he made, but how many saints you made, that is the hallmark of true ministry. Peace
@@femidaniel2400 talking of millionaires, you need money to finance the work of the kingdom. These millionaires in the body of Christ finance the work.
There is no dignity in poverty. A pastor asking unbelievers for money, how does that glorify God? Therefore, there has to be millionaires in the body of Christ who have the understanding of why God prospered them financially.
Is it better for a pastor to beg for money? Let's not deceive ourselves.
When you listen to the entire message, Abioye is talking about the MISSION MANDATE of the ministry. Benny Hinn focus on Healing, Deeper life focus on salvation, Mountain of Fire focus on spiritual forces against Believers does not mean they don’t preach rapture and Hell but that’s not their calling
There is nothing like that in scripture. That is man made. A minister of the gospel should preach the whole counsel of God.
Living faith is not the only church in the body of Christ. God has many other to preach hell and rapture. Every man has his specific calling and assignment. We shall all be rewarded according to our calling and assignment.
Do we have to belong to different churches to hear the whole teaching of the word of God?.
A church should be able to preach the totality of the word of God.
Besides rapture and hell are part of the core message of salvation.
@@enumannadi7946 Are you telling me that it is only living faith pastors you listen to? Each church in the body of Christ is called to preach a particular message and that particular message will lead people to Christ. Bishop Oyedepo is preaching what he said God told him to preach, you people should leave God to judge him. You are not the one that sent him, so why should he listen to you? Through the message God gave him to preach and which he is doing, many have given their lives to Christ and are serving the Lord. So what do you want him to do again?
The truth will always be the truth. Don't side side your papa in error. Rapture and hell should be proclaimed by all believer.
Talking about hell and hell always doesn't change people, a man said I will continue to sin and sin to d extent that on the judgment day God will furiously throw him beyond d hell fire,Even Jesus simplify the whole commandments into two simple way that will be easy for us bear and practice, Bishop will not preach daily without mentioning of being born again to enjoy all what he has said, everyone has their own way of bringing people to God, the church emphasis daily on Matthew 6;33 what is this verse all about? Not talking about hell now, sin has a lot of complications to Christian live on Earth,that problem you are face come a reward of sin anyone who sin, is not fit for God blessing, Kingdom of God is a blessing from God when you diligently harken to his voice, Amen
True
Very true and powerful massage
And this is the reason why so many members have lesser knowledge about the scripture... As a Christian we ought to know the Bible from cover to cover.. Verse to verse. And chapter to chapter... If we don't preach about the rapture and 2nd coming of christ... Then how can we prepare the Saint for christ 2nd coming. How can they have d knowledge of d apocalypse. Sir pls let's re trace our pattern and help develop the consciousness of the believers and d body of christ
Sweet sermons are terribly dangerous to soul
It lead to hell
Powerful!
Oga, what then are you sent to preach?
Apostle Paul said he was free from the blood of all men for he has not failed to declare unto them the WHOLE COUNSEL of God.
Failure to warn the people against the impending judgement on the world is a big error regardless of whatever you are called to preach so to say..
You are not sent to preach about Rapture and Hell? Ha! Then what is left to preach.
What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and loose his soul?
Exactly
Imagine
I have gone through the comments here, and I must say many didn't get the message right.
Let me start by saying Every one carry a message for his or her generation.
No one can preach the whole bible, everyone has a calling upon his or her life. Eph 4:1.
As a fact, the purpose of being born again is not to only escape hell but to manifest Christ on Earth. The purpose of heaven and hell is to separate the goat from the sheep which was not the original purpose of creation but because need be,so that the original purpose of God for creation will come to be. Winners chapel don't preach hell, but in the month which the subject of holiness is preached which is one of the pillars of the church,I bet you, you will tremble.
N/B:if you think you are giving your life to Christ just to escape hell, you are really missing the purpose of redemption.
Everyone has it own message, you can't preach the whole bible, it is not a text book or handouts....
We must preach what the Lord put in our heart to preach not what is popular. For example, Billy Graham didn’t preach healing just salvation because that is what God put him on the earth to do. “Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.” 1 Cor 7:20.
The Bishop is missing it sir. The message of the Apostles tells us the message we should preach. Jesus is the only person that preached about hell more than all preachers.
We cannot do otherwise!!
What about those who don't know about rapture and hell fire and are in the church.
How will they know if they don't hear?.
I believe the totality of the word of God be preached. Then emphasis can now be on the calling.
Ha! I am surprised Bishop Abioye is saying this. We are called to preach THE WORD - The entire BIBLE
Bishop Abioye is speaking to ministers here. Every minister is called to an assessment. Even as you try to preach the entire Bible, you must remain focused on your calling. If you are called into healing ministry and you now decide to focus on prosperity, you have missed it.
A minister is meant to preach the whole counsel of God I.e the gospel of the kingdom and that include those that won't make it to the scripture.
@@nomasuccessara5448 no one person can preach the entire Bible successfully. You are called into a specific assignment. As you touch on other areas, you tailor it into the ministry you have been called. You have to focus on that assignment, otherwise you become jack of all trade and master of none.
If your ministry is healing, you are likely to have more sick people in your congregation. If yours is to save the lost, you will find those who have a hunger in their soul for the supernatural.
@@afiblossom5590 that is not scriptural. I hope you read your Bible sha.
@@afiblossom5590 the disciples of Jesus were given the same message to preach. The people you are assigned to might be different but the message is the same. Scripture says that these signs shall follow those that believe and not some people that believe. If some realities of the gospel isn't happening in your ministry, it isn't God's fault.
Awesome God!
With due respect sir. A minister of God is duty-bound to warn people of imminent danger of hell and rapture. Therefore, every minister is expected to preach the totality of the Bible as the Bible is the "message"of God to world.
Bishop David Oyedepo makes altar consistently! So don't misunderstand Bishop Abioye. They are not sent to preach hell but they preach Christ and make altar call to populate the Kingdom of heaven. What Bishop Abioye is saying is that don't expect Winners chapel to preach hell hell and rapture in our services! Simple! Not that they don't believe it...
Then also sir. Note that nobody can preach the whole Bible, we are only called to preach a part. Even though we believe the totality of the Bible but you can't. That's why Deeper life, Christ embassy, RCCG, Chosen, Daystar, COZA, CLC, KOINONIA, etc are part of the Body of Christ. Everyone of them empasizes that part God has called them to preach and through the body of Christ (the church), Jesus is glorified and revealed. Thank you sir
@@WorldchangersTVChannel Except that making ''altar consistently'' is not the same thing as being raptured or avoiding hell fire!. If a church claims the they don't preach hell and rapture, then you wonder what is left that they preach; for the subject of hell and rapture is the main subject from Genesis to Revelation.
@WorldchangersTVChannel Again, using churches as standards to gauge God's truth is misleading. We do not all need to go to all the churches to get God's full truth, hence every church must preach the fundamentals and emphasise some. My worry is the Bishop saying they don't preach hell and rapture. Saying this to ministers is far more dangerous than even members. You are saying the emphasis of Christ is not yours. Every Christian must go to the bible and determine what are the essentials and what are the additives to the faith. Except ye be born again; without holiness; except ye repent you shall likewise perish... these are the hard truths that made them crucify Jesus. Saying you don't preach them is heavy. I hope this impression is corrected quickly before others are misled
The bible is the massage from God to humanity warning ⚠️ people about the danger ahead and in your church you don't preach that how would people know the danger ahead of them because faith comets by hearing the word of God ,oh God have mercy upon the church nowornder the bible says the would be a fall away on the last days ,
Winners want to prosper here on earth forgetting at last where are they going on the last day. They worship God because of money....I'm not surprised as the focus on money..
He’s in error. The whole purpose of the institution church is to prepare men to become like Christ and to ultimately meet him. With all due respect, even in your message, if you don’t preach what Christ preached, you are in error. Christ preached it, who are you?
Bishop Abioye is talking to ministers. Every minister is called to a specific assignment. No matter what you preach as a minister, you must not lose focus on your assignment.
@@afiblossom5590 Don't twist what he said which is that 'we don't preach hell...we don't preach rapture' whoever he is talking to notwithsatnding.
@@TexBrunoTC Nothing twisted. You are free to interpret the message to suit your narrative.
And if you like, continue to preach hell and rapture, hell and rapture, and lose focus on your main assignment.
@afiblossom5590 You are not following the logic of the scripture in this discussion. If you want to win an argument goodluck but if you want to get to heaven and take others with you, you must warn of the dangers of hell and the imminence of the coming of Christ. You deny this truths and you have denied Christ. This message is a poison that must be washed out not by sentiment but by the word of God
@@femidaniel2400 you deceive yourself if you think that you draw more souls to Christ than Winners pastors. They teach practical Christianity.
Many are miss understanding him... winners preaches against sin every service no matter the topic
It is serious hearing this. Jesus preached the gospel of the Kingdom of God and that was the preaching of the early Apostles and also that is what we are expected to preach.
The Bible talked about the children of Issascar who has the understanding of the season and time. We are in the end time and how will God call people in this season and time and will say they should not teach their members about the season and time they are. Jesus taught His disciples about the end time and Jesus is our perfect example. Also, the early Apostles taught people about the end time. How willl God now ask some people not to preach about the end time (Rapture, the great tribulation, second coming of Jesus, Marriage of the Lamb, judgement day, Millennium reign etc). I doubt if it is God that call such people.
...I sincerely respect our dear Pastor Abioye. However, it is expected that members of the Church will be taught ALL the WORD of GOD, including teachings on the fate of unsaved souls. Even if the audience are saved, they need for the purpose of emphasis be exposed to a well rounded teaching on every aspect of the Scriptures in a systematic way. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not shy away from teaching His early disciples the full-orbed truth. Rapture, hell fire and all others should still me taught. Not necessarily to scare members but at least, for their own sake and as Bible students; help others.
Shalom!
But is there anyone who is without sin? This whole arguments about hell and rapture, is it really about what we preach? One can only make heaven by the mercies of God.I ask again,is there any one who is not without sin? I need an answer.
Gullible people will be applauding.
There is only one ministry in the bible, it is called the ministry of reconciliation.
This isn't sound at all
I am so surprised about what Bishop Abioye says, any message without rapture,hell fire is zero at least you should point people to someone. When one die either you go to heaven or hell
Hmmmmmmm, i agree with you sir, but the interpretation of those Bible quoted was not aline with base on way you explain it sir. That is my view anyway. But i agree one may have particular call and all our call must leads one to God kingdom.
No body ever preached about hell and rapture like our Lord JESUS CHRIST
your are not called to preach about hell and rapture then what are you called to preach
How can people repent
Who is this man,
Every messenger has a message
Haaaaaa ! This is error o . God help the the church
Faith is not in vaccuum, it is a composite entity. God is a mystery.
The God of reward is the same God of punishment.
He is the God of the CRUCIFIED JESUS and he is the God of the Glorified Jesus.
......not sent to preach it (Rapture, heaven & hell?
What then is the GREAT COMMISSION???
If the mission, vision and message is not about THE GREAT COMMISSION, you are not called into the great commission.
Matthew 7:15
NIV
True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
MATTHEW 24:24
KJ21
For there shall arise false christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Pastors will burn in the lake of fire. Mr oyedepo is one of them
This pastor does not understand the message of heaven and hell.
This is so sad to watch and hear.
If the world does not hear the message of hell or heaven. What is our Christian message. Please sir read your Bible again. Thanks for message.
bcos that will not bring money to ur pocket. but u are call to preach about tithe that will bring money to ur pocket. wicked people
Do you know the essence of the death, crucifixion and resurrection of Christ? How would you leave that major purpose and preach the added attachment? If your purpose is to preach prosperity and not Christ them you and your father in the Lord have no purpose and have not even met the "real" Christ......this is not to undermine your ministry but to tell you respectfully to go and pray again and tell the Lord Jesus to reveal himself to you....
What did the Lord say you should preach sir? You don't want to preach rapture, you don't want to preach hell, but you want to preach faith to possess the world. What will he profit you and all your members if you gain the world your faith and you lose your soul, what will you give in exchange for your soul.
Any message you preach sir where salvation from sin, righteousness and Holiness aren't embedded, they're are not from God but from the god of this world...
If you do not preach on rapture and on hell,then it is not God who sent you but Satan to draw soul to follow him to hell.l am sorry to say you do not know the word of God
Lol. Jesus assigned one thing REPENT
Those to whom this message was sent to perfectly understand, those who have no idea will analyse. The Lord help us to understand. The core of this message is to focus on the message given to you. Hell and rapture is not the main message of Christianity because we are not expected to be left behind. The focus is to build a people with the consciousness of Heaven. MATTHEW 28:18. What Bishop said doesn't erase the fact that heaven and hell is real and Jesus Christ is coming again.
FOCUS ON YOUR MESSAGE, MAY BE YOU ARE CALLED TO PREACH FOCUSING ON "HELL AND RAPTURE " HOW ABOUT GOING TO FIND THAT FROM GOD SO THAT THE CHURCH WILL COME TO THAT UNITY OF FAITH. SELAH!
But sir it is the preaching about hell fire and rapture that gives you the consciousness of heaven...not prosperity sir....AND HEAVEN IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF EVERY BELIEVER... THAT'S THE ESSENCE OF CHRIST DEATH SO WE CAN BE RAPTURED
My dear.... They love the world and the pleasures of this world and not Jesus
This is totally incorrect and very misleading! Why then do you call yourself a preacher? There is no precedent or anywhere in the new testament that anyone was called to preach a 'specific assignhment.! The bible clearly stated ''Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the WHOLE MESSAGE of this Life.”
Even Jesus Christ himself in his very own words told his disciples and Christians the same thing! And not the least of all, the Book of Revelation that is mainly concerned with the issues of heaven and hell also specifically demands the preaching of the subject of heaven and hell when it stated ''Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.'' Revelation 1:3. And the 'prophecy' and' things written in it' are mainly regarding the subject of heaven and hell!
It is clear that all of this is for no other reason but for the fact that it is the main purpose for which God Himself sent Jesus to the world - to create a way of escape from hell fire for those who believes in him. How then can a preacher claimed that he is called by God and he has no business preaching about hell? If your members don't know about hell and how to avoid going there, how then are they supposed to know the way to heaven?
No wonder many people and most pathetic, including members of the Winners Chapel themselves continued to criticize the lack of character and ungodly behaviour of their members and especially their pastors! What is the sense in preaching about the things of this life where your life is as short as a spark of light from a bonfire that went up in the sky only for a moment and is extinguished for ever as compared to eternity!
No wonder the bible warned ''If in this life only we have hope in Christ, then we are of all men most miserable'' 1 Cor.15.19!
Some gave the excuse that he is only speaking to pastors as if it matters who he is speaking to. Actually, this is very starnge because the subject of hell is a fundamental and central theme that runs across not only Christianity but all the known religions in this world including those that are not even sure of finding the way to heaven! Now for a Christian to say he wasn't 'sent' to preach the subject is baffling since there is no single example or precedent in the whole bible! All the messages from Genesis to Revelation is 'repent or perish'!
Incidentally, Abioye forgot to mention those who are 'sent' to preach the subject or the name of their churches!
Where then would your members get the rest of the gospel?
Is your area of ministry alone capable of making them candidates of heaven since you are not called to preach the gospel in its entirety?
Are Christians supposed to emulate Jesus Christ and His Apostles or a man called into a particular area of ministry?
The message of every preacher who claims to be a 'Christian' is no other but Jesus Christ. Since Jesus Christ showed His disciples the way to God by preaching all the gospel He preached and did the miracles, why would any leader in any Church or Christian ministry show his disciples or followers only part of what Jesus Christ gave us?
When you talk about preaching the gospel, every preacher ought to preach it in its entirety. This does not in anyway make any preacher lose focus in the particular area of his calling ( that is, his office in the ministry or his spiritual gift). It the offices and spiritual gifts that differ and not preaching of the gospel please.
That Jesus Christ told His disciples where to go and what to preach at that particular time does not mean it ended there. After all what was the message Jesus Christ told them to preach? I think the message was that of repentance from evil deeds. "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." In addition to this message, Jesus Christ commanded them to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, etc. So in other words, the message was a message of salvation which is the first message that should be preached in Christianity. After salvation which is the point of a new birth, a Christian continues to grow in the faith by receiving teachings of the Kingdom of God which gradually walk him or her through the pathway of perfection in Christ (Hebrews 6:1-4).
Jesus Christ said "be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect".
Now my question is:
How can your followers or disciples be perfect in the kingdom of God when you give them only part of the gospel?
God bless every reader of this piece as you desire to follow the teachings of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
Rapture must be at least once in a while
I think we should be careful how we cut and paste messages without the entire context. It will mislead the hearer. Your heading is even wrong. Just give the real topic given to that message and don't mislead the people. The title of the message is the power of focus. It is one of the messages in the just concluded International Ministers Conference
I think this is a big mistake and a costly omission on the part of the commission. And I think this emanates from an inadequate understanding of the various ministerial offices and their functions. A prophet and/or prophetic ministry that does not have a congregation may say this and be correct. But a pastoral ministry like yours, which has a congregation and members, has the responsibility to feed the sheep, which is the major assignment of a shepherd. And if you have to feed the sheep, you have to give them a balanced diet (the whole counsel of God), otherwise you will raise abnormal people. The majority of the examples you mentioned in the Bible are prophets, not pastors/shepherds. This kind of ideology belongs to the prophets, who have nothing to do with pastoring. For the commission to hold on to this mandate and be correct, then you must accept the fact that you are a prophetic ministry, and consequently should not run a church. Let your members go to the place where they will be fed with the whole counsel of God under a pastor while you focus on your prophetic mandate. It's simple! Which of the churches in the New Testament has a peculiar message? God will grant us all more understanding and more grace to do God's work acceptably.
This is a Damnable Error and Deception. I Pray God will bring them back to The Solid Foundation 'Jesus' and The whole Counsel of God. Mat. 28:20, Teaching them to observe ALL things whatsoever, I have commanded you.... ... And Rev. 22:19 says if any man ( Bishop, Preacher, Pastor, GO, member) shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of Life.....If you are not preaching it, it means you have taking it away from The Holy Book.
If you keep quiet on the cardinal doctrines of The Holy Bible and only preach things that will attract unrepentant multitudes to your Church, you will lead them and yourself into an unquenchable fire of hell. The Whole Bible should be preached with emphasis on Repentance, Restitution, faith, Salvation, Holiness, Rapture, Heaven , Hell, The Great white Throne Judgement etc
Just say your focus is on this world and not eternity.... Most of the teaching about hell and rapture in the Bible came from Jesus...
It is interesting that you are not called to teach what Jesus mostly taught about.
Every true called man of God has a specific message God has instructed him or her to preach. That's where the anointing works more. You can digress to other parts sometimes but thats not your message from heaven
