MCGI CARES MASS INDOCTRINATION HELD ON 30/01/2023. DAY 1
Good day friends, Good day MCGI Cares community, My name is David Akwashiki and I'm happy to be part of the MCGI Community. I want to also welcome you to my blog as I will be using this opportunity to Share with you what I've learnt today being my first day in joining live zoom meeting with the MCGI family through the Mass Indoctrination for Day One, 30th January 2023.
Today’s studies was centered towards revealing the true teachings and doctrines of our lord Jesus from the holy bible. Having known that we are in the last days, where the society is full of false prophets as the bible stated in Mathew 7:15, It is ideal for us to know in details the true doctrines and teachings of Jesus Christ, so that we can analyze and differentiate between the false teachings and true teachings of God.
But the big question is; How do we know the true doctrines of God?
According to Matthew 28:19-20, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
From the above scripture, the first doctrine of Jesus is BAPTISM. When Jesus instructed the disciples to go into the world and make disciples of all men, the first doctrine that the disciples are to present to the new convert is baptism. and one of the clear indications that baptism is the first doctrine is also seen in the life of Paul in Act 22:16. After Paul was converted to the faith, the first instruction God gave to him was to "arise and be Baptized".
Haven being baptized, as an individual who is ready to grow in the faith, it is also expected that you joined a group of believers (ie the church). Christ is the head of the church according to Ephesians 3:6. Therefore it is the will of God that anyone who has accepted Jesus to be his or her lord and personal savior must be part of the church. It is wrong for you as an individual to say you have received Christ while you're rejecting the church. Receiving Christ is equally receiving his ways.
Also Ephesians 5:33: Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
From the above scripture you will understand that Christ is the head of the body and that body is the church. Refusing the church of God shows you are an anti-christ because the church is the holy body of Christ.
As we belong to a body of Christ (the church), The next thing to do is to receive the word of God. And that brought us to the point of studying the doctrines and teachings of the lord Jesus Christ.
Mathew 16:18: And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
That is to tell us how God value the church. The church of God is an institution set by God. It is also known as the wisdom of God. God so loves the church to the point he dedicated his life to it according to Act 20:28;
Also note from Daniel 9:19. Anything that is of God must be called by the name of God such as; The man of God, The spirit of God, The angels of God, The son of God and also The church of God. Every church of God must be called by the name of God according to Ephesians 3:15.
In conclusion, Joining the church of God is one of the primary doctrine of God because that is what will enable you to grow in the faith as a believer.
That was what I learnt from today's teaching and I must confess that it was indeed a wonderful experience. therefore I look forward to having you join our live zoom meeting tomorrow as we continue with the mass indoctrination, where we get to know more about the doctrines and teachings of our lord Jesus.
