I know many people do not even read scriptural references in most books. I encourage you to read and ponder over all the references including those from the Quran.

Is it 1, 2, 3 or even more ways? This is a matter of life and death. Is God a source of confusion and deception? Will God contradict Himself by ch

BRIEF AUTOBIOGRAPHY

PREFACE

We are living in the end of the age. Believe it or not we are in the very last of the last days! It is necessary for any serious believer of the true Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega and the Beginning and the End to "really watch". It is important for the believer to watch unto prayer in order for constant power to flow from the Holy Spirit to energize the believer to live in faith, in wisdom and in obedience. God has concluded the ‘matter’ by leaving us with His perfect guide-Bible; it means our foundation should be built on the Word. Any so called new revelations which are strange to the bible must be rejected. No revelation should contradict scripture. Be wise; do not live on any human doctrine that is not based on the Bible. Do not become a shadow of yourself, live by the bible; let it be the final authority in your life.

Thus, no matter what any Bishop, Evangelist, Archbishop or any other may say, if only such statements contradict the scriptures, then they should be seen immediately as ‘wolves in sheep clothing.’ We all must guard against any attempt to dilute the word (Bible) in any way. In 2 Timothy 3:16, we read that God’s spirit moved the authors to pen down the scriptures. Every true believer must defend the scriptures jealously, by reading it, preaching it, and living it. Is it not strange that on Larry King live, on the 20th of June 2005, Joel Osteen, a popular US evangelist said clearly in an answer to a question by the Host, Larry King, that ‘he’ (Osteen) was not sure and that he did not know whether Jesus was the only way to Heaven or not.

‘I am the way, the truth and the life, no man goes to the father but by me’. John 14:16

In this age of putrefaction, homosexuals are ordained as priests in some churches, and pre-marital sex is the order of the day. Things have gone so alarming that people who come out to state the truth (and not necessarily the fact) are branded as controversial and it seems that compromise and liberalism are the norm. Holiness is now old fashioned, keeping ones virginity intact seems old fashioned and Christian dressing and adornment have been relegated to the background, moderation is now out of our books, the world has entered the church and the church has entered the world, in other words, there has been an unholy matrimony between the church and the world. What is heartwarming and reassuring, however, is that in this end time, when men are cast down, there will be a lifting up for the true and sincere seekers of the Lord. It is refreshing, that even in our times, some are still true and sincere in their beliefs. Many are still poor in the spirit and thus do hunger and thirst after righteousness. Many are seriously getting filled day by day by the spirit and are doing exploits for the Lord. In short, there is a remnant that is still faithful to the only bonafide master of the Universe -JESUS.

This book throws a microscopic observation on the state of Christianity today. This book places emphasis on spiritual conclusions that are made purely through the validation of the Spirit and the Word. Several issues regarding the authenticity of the bible, homosexuality, gay gene, premarital sex, fashion, laminin amongst others and the deity of Jesus are looked at. This book is intended to strengthen those who worship in truth and spirit and to encourage spirit-filled believers. The wishy-washy shall receive heat from this book. Salient issues are raised and thorny issues are addressed. I believe the Holy Spirit backs this book. Any reader shall have his/her cup full. I know most people do not read the bible quotations in most books, but, you will be doing a great disservice to yourself if you ignore the bible quotations in this book. The quotations in this special book are meant to give a special meaning to the points raised. This is not a money-making venture but a battle for man’s soul. Heaven and Hell are real, accept Jesus and receive life now.

I trust that, as you go through the pages of this book, your faith shall be ignited.

INTRODUCTION

"…And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." Acts 11:26b.

It’s clear from the passage above that the word Christian came up first in Antioch as a result of the Christ-like behavior of the early disciples of Jesus Christ. The disciples indeed were like Christ in character and attitude and so were called Christians. This presupposes that one cannot call him/herself a Christian without being like Christ. If you are truly a Christian, others will see Him (Jesus) in you. How can anybody who knows his bearings and who claims to be a Christian behave contrary to the character of Jesus Christ? Thus saith the Lord, ‘Let your light so shine before men that they may glorify your father who is in heaven’. The aforementioned clearly epitomizes the fact that, those who claim their Christianity is only in their heart, are simply deluded or are suffering from serious inexcusable ignorance. This book has become so important as a result of several opinions about how today’s Christian ought to be, do, live, think, or comport themselves while they walk on this earth. Many tragically say: ‘Christianity is in the heart and so it does not matter what they do, say or act’. Such people forget the bible enjoins the saints to be living sermons; they also forget the scriptures enjoins the saint to be salt and light -Matt. 5:13-16. Such ignoramuses forget that, wherever light goes, it cannot be hidden but would be seen. Shall we continue in sin so that grace abounds? God forbid!

Rom 6:1-2 ‘What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

The surest and unmistakable mark of your salvation through Christ is your clear demonstration of power over sin. If you are truly saved, sin shall not reign in your mortal body! Christianity does not licensee you to sin; it rather empowers you to live without sin. In Christ you have the grace to live without sin. In Christianity, you are located within a certain habitat called Christ. In Christ we exercise dominion over the works of the flesh and practice righteousness. In Christ, righteousness is a habit, it’s a lifestyle. True righteousness bears the fruit of the Spirit.

Some of the messages from our pulpits are clearly dichotomous to what Jesus himself taught and stood for; although I admit this phenomenon has been there for really a long time,
