The divine authority in the ministry

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:15-18).

We have already mentioned the urgent need for the minister to have authority for the effective performance of their work, and now based precisely on this, I write this article using the biblical text quoted as a base. In recent days, I have felt moved to speak more particularly about this, and I am certain that it is the Holy Spirit who is directing us, especially when we understand that the days are short and that the Church of Christ the Lord will soon be united with Him.

Baptism in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

The doctrine of baptism is a subject of supreme importance, and has been considered to be so throughout the centuries which have passed since the Church was founded by our Lord Jesus Christ. He himself demonstrated the prominence of this sacrament when he issued the following command: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned ” (Mark. 16:16). He also commanded His apostles to: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matt. 28:19). He also emphasized the importance of being baptized, when He traveled to the Jordan River where John was baptizing, and asked John to be baptize Him, saying: “Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness” (Matt. 3:15).

"... and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand." (Daniel 12:10)

The people of God need to draw closer to Him in prayer and fasting! It is written that “the wise shall understand” (Dan.12:10), and if we understand what it is that the Lord is demanding from us and we do not do it, I assure you that we will not be considered innocent.

The time of the end has come and the Church of Jesus Christ is entering the final stage of her pilgrimage on earth. We are living in difficult times because satanic armies are using all the power available to them. Consequently, we, Christians, are living in an environment of relentless spiritual warfare, being constantly besieged by legions of demons who, knowing that their time is short, seek at all cost to destroy the only thing that has eternal value in this world, that is, the people that have received the salvation of the Lord.
