Because of how Christian theologians communicate the love of God with hate, bigotry and exclusivism, etc., many people believe that theology is a bad word.

The word theology is derived from the Greek words ‘theos’ translated God in English and ‘ology’ which is from ‘logos’  and which means word 

If we take that literally, theology means words about God

Be aware that ‘Words about God’ can come from our understanding of Biblical Truths, which is based on how much of the world is in us, or how much of God we know, and or our level of spiritual maturity.

The Bible says there are some who have  a ‘form of knowledge and of the truth…’ (Romans 2:20),  some are “babes in Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:1), who are in servitude under the elements of the world (Galatians 4:3).

However,  there are also those “who through constant practice have their spiritual faculties carefully trained to distinguish good from evil” (See Hebrews 5:14)

In view of these factors, Mark Walker cautioned ⚠️: “There are some well read theologians, well intentional too. But absolutely nothing should separate us from the Truth.

Theology is primarily an opinion, and certain theology may carry some degree of Truth. But the ultimate source of Truth is our Bible. Our Teacher is The Holy Spirit.

We follow Jesus, not one of His students, as good as they may sound. After all they are just the same as us, flesh and bone who have found revelatory Word in the Bible.

If all we did was to read an instruction book on how to fix something broken, without actually putting into practise what we’ve been instructed, then nothing changes. The thing still remains broken.

We have to take on board the teachings and put them in action.

We can change the world. One person at a time, and that starts with myself.

 That is why I read my Bible, not to change another, but to be changed from within, on a daily basis. This isn’t self improvement, it is God -improvement. Amen.🙏🙏💓”

Therefore,  “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” (1 Peter 2:2)

Prayer:

Father God,  thank You for those You graced and commissioned to publish the Bible. 

For through the Word in circulation, we know we have life and are no more babes to be tossed about by every wind of teachings. 

We are also thankful that we are no longer victims of crafty deceivers whose aim is to lead your people astray.

We stand against the prince of thr power of the air, the spirit that works in the children of disobedience.

We command to dissipate at once, the influence of satan over the mind, volition and affection of people. 

We affirm that people are set free to seek, serve and love God with their lives,  energy and everything they hold precious. 

We release  the light of the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ,  to illuminate the eyes of your understanding. So that you will know the hope of His calling, and the riches of His glory, and his  love toward you, in Jesus Christ matchless name we pray.
