BE SOUND IN BIBLE DOCTRINES

Today, I’ll share with you about being sound in Bible doctrines which is one of the critical areas of life where you need correct understanding. Years ago, a female medical doctor shared her testimony with me. She was a Christian medical doctor who was not enjoying her Christianity. She had on her head, tiny braids with some hair extensions which was a new fashion at that time. Some people then thought that anyone with such a hairstyle was not born again just like some nowadays think that anyone that applies relaxer to their hair is not born again. There are all kinds of positions that people have, such that if you don’t understand Christianity, you will be in bondage.

That woman wanted to be baptised in the Holy Spirit, but she was told that she could not receive baptism because of her hair. She was confused, then she heard me preach. She came to see me in the office, and I asked her, "Why do you make your hair like that?" She said, "I'm a young mother, I have children and a husband to take care of, I have medical exams to write, and I have a job too. If I make my hair like that, I can keep it for about two months." I said, "You are in good order, lady. Receive the Holy Spirit baptism in Jesus' name. Now open your mouth and begin to speak in tongues." She immediately started speaking in tongues and then stopped. I asked, "Why did you stop?" She asked, "Is that the real Holy Ghost?" She had been indoctrinated wrongly but as soon as she gained understanding, her faith was released.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the help of the Holy Spirit to pursue sound doctrine in the name of Jesus. Amen!
