Ministerios Paul Reeves

Ask yourself, “Do the teachings of Christ, of who He is and His truth, accord with the doctrine I believe? Is Jesus Christ the center and circumference of my doctrine and my relationship with God?” If you’re wrong about Jesus, you’ll be wrong about God. You can’t be right about God and wrong about Jesus. Your doctrine of Christ must be right.

1 John 2:23 says, “Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” If you reject the doctrine of Christ, that Christ has come in the flesh, you have not God.

Then what does Paul do? Secondly, in verses 9-10, he gives us the safeguard. First he warns us of the deficiency of man’s philosophy, in verse 8, and now in verses 9-10, he gives us the safeguard of the sufficiency that is found only in Jesus Christ. “For in Him…”—that’s a reference to Christ—“…dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” That is one of the greatest verses in the Bible on the Person of Christ. It’s about His full deity and His full humanity. And verse 10 says, “And you are complete…”—that’s the key word—“…in Him…”—that is, “Christ”—“…who is the head of all principality and power.”

“‎‭Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
(Colossians 2:8, AV)

So the false teaching was a combination of Greek philosophy, which is covered by intellectualism; Jewish legalism—not touching certain things, eating only certain foods, worshipping on certain days, circumcision; and eastern mysticism. These are the same categories that today “spoil” Christians, because they turn away from Christ to intellectualism, legalism and mysticism.
Notice that in verse 8, Paul wraps it up, fifthly, by saying that these things are “not according to Christ.” That’s the problem. They’re not leading you into a deeper, stronger, more intimate relationship with Christ. They are actually showing Christ to be deficient, so these other things are needed as a help in your Christian life.

“‎‭He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.”
(Proverbs 21:17, AV)

What a scripture. This us to help us focus on what causes poverty in our life. Many blame God or the devil for poverty in their lives.

Every ministry has a head that God has established to be the head. like Moisés was called to be the head and Korah did not want to follow Moisés but thought i can hear from God too. I am equal to Moisés but God said no and the ground opened up and swallowed him and his family. This is a good example of how God thinks about ministries today. So many leaders in the church think they have a better idea or God is with them too and try to do there own vision in someone elses ministry. But God never uses someone below the Pastor to lead the Pastor or ministry. God uses the ones that ministry is submitted to to teach them..So be careful when you choose to help a ministry that you don't bring your own vision, but submit to the Pastors or that ministries vision. 2 visións is called división. So many people do this without thinking. they start by thinking what this minister is saying wrong and then began to share their idea with others. This seems so harmless, but that is what brings division and God never brings division. If we don't agree there is 2 things we can do: 1. submit and pray and keep mouth shut. 2. leave and find someone you can submit to.
