After such amazing hymns and melodies from the choir here are some of the things I learnt from the teachings.
There are things that darken the minds of people.
Satan blinds the mind of those who do not believe in God.
It is not easy for the teachings of God to enlighten the mind of people, because there is someone darkening the minds of men.
2 Corinthians 4:4
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Isaiah 60:2
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Romans 13:12-14
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Alot of evil is now available in the world today, which is the darkness that covers the entire world now.
We read the doctrines from the Bible so that a darkened mind will be enlighten.
A sister asked a question, Will a man be saved if he is nearing his death and he is asking for forgiveness.
We should save God while we are young.
Proverbs 1:25-30
But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord : They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
When a time you are dying is when you seek God then that is a hopeless case, because when you had the opportunity you refused.
A brother asked two questions,
Aside from the holy bible is there another source of truth for salvation, and who were the leaders of the church of God.
The Bible is a book which came from the creator, there are things written in the Bible which man cannot write or comprehend of it. The Bible came from a God who knows the future and there is no man who can tell the future. There is no book with exactness and sharpness as the Bible.
Nobody knows what will happen in 2000 years from now as the Bible.
Isaiah 46:9-10
Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
There is no other book on earth that can declare what will happen 1000-2000 years from now.
Daniel 12:4
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
There is no other book saying precisely what will happen in the future as the Bible.
The Bible is the only book containing futuristic events.
Daniel 9:2
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
