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. For all the negative things
we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it:
