THE PROMISE OF “TRUTH”
Many people have wondered what the word ‘TRUTH’
represents in The African Church of Truth!! It simply means the ‘Holy Spirit’. Jesus Christ
said that He will send someone to stay with us until the end, meaning the Holy Spirit. To verify if this
truth is the Holy Spirit, we need to look at the following Biblical explanations John16:8,
Romans8:16,26, 1John2:27, John7:38, Galatians5:22,23,26, Galatians5:17,17, and Acts2:17.
Once we’ve read the scriptures above
one can understand that the Truth lives forever, the Truth is alive, the Truth
follows a path, the Truth is only but the truth of what is and what has to come.
The Truth is not in the past tense nor is
it about history. It is not in the future but in the present. The Truth is now. The Truth
is what you feel; the Truth is like your intuition. The Truth only requires following, without
reasoning or questioning. The Truth will care for you as it has been ahead of you and knows your path. The
Truth will never leave you alone. The Truth is there in difficult times, in times that you
feel lonely, scared, fearful, worried and in pain.
Remember, in the beginning The Word was
God, and God sent His Son, and the Son loved us so dearly, and felt so deeply for us that His promise to send the Truth to
look after and to be with us until the end was fulfilled by sending the Holy Spirit.
We in The African Church of Truth acknowledge the promise and want to remind the world of the promise that is with us.
“Follow the Truth as the Truth will set you free”
TRUST IN GOD
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God
to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed
to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day,
after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had
happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me?" he cried.
Early the
next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How
did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke
signal," they replied.
It is easy to
get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst
of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons
the grace of God.
