2Ki 4:3 KJV Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
Luke 11:17 (KJV) But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
Ecclesiastes AMP 10:1 cause the ointment of the perfumer to putrefy [and] send forth a vile odor; so does a little folly [in him who is valued for wisdom] outweigh wisdom and honor.
Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness dignifies a nation,
but sin disgraces a people.
This morning, it occurred to me to know where denominations started springing up. I wish we had headed to the counsel in Proverbs 17:14 (BBE) The start of fighting is like the letting out of water: so give up before it comes to blows.
Paul forsaw it and warned in Acts 20:30 (BBE) And from among yourselves will come men who will give wrong teaching, turning away the disciples after them.
That is why I love the Bible. It's like a floodlight or torchlight that makes everywhere very clear. So denominations are caused by wrong teaching. By this we can know the way back to correct teaching that will restore oneness of the body of Christ.
The first wrong teaching everywhere is any teaching that points to men, not Christ. There is nothing wrong with following a person following Jesus Christ. That was always there.
Paul adminished the believers of his time to follow him as he was following Christ (1 Cor. 11:1). Teaching is like bearing fruit. No good tree bears bad fruit. The false teaching has a source. That source is the life of the teacher.
Matthew 23:8-11 (KJV) But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
There are too many masters who are no properly connected to Christ. There are too many teachers who have not been taught by God. There are too many Rev. Fathers who need fathers in faith. All these leaders ought to allow Christ to pass through them to teach the people of this world.
What is the difference? Only Jesus is the truth, the way and the life (Jn 14:6). Every other person not perfectly standing or in perfect allignment with Jesus is a false.teacher.
While this woman in our story is like the Church, there can be other brides whose husband has not been Jesus. If such a widow comes.around to borrow vessels, don't give her. She may damage the vessel. She may pour wrong oil into them. She may pour Jesus into people who are not yet free from self.life. She may sell and not pay the debt of love the Church owns the world. She may see the miracle and not report back to the prophet. A Church without any head (Christ) is not of God.
Do you have a head over you?
1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV) But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Madam, the matter is not covering of hairs. Do you really have a head? Oh, man are you really under authority of Christ? Do you resort to Him before you spend? Do you wait on Him to direct your plans? Join what God is doing. He is bringing all under Christ (1 Cor. 11:3).
Thank you.
