@OikiaCCLekki Hyped for service tomorrow

[Oikia Christian Centre Lekki @OikiaCCLekki]

Strong families don't happen by chance, they're built with God's wisdom.

Join us this Sunday for Wisdom for Family Life as we discover biblical wisdom for building healthy, God-honoring families.

Just like muscles grow stronger through regular exercise, your inward witness grows stronger through consistent obedience.

The Holy Spirit is always speaking. The question isn't whether He is speaking, but whether we've trained ourselves to recognise and respond to His Voice.

[Oikia Christian Centre Lekki @OikiaCCLekki]

We began our Wisdom series this month.

Here are a couple of points we learned from Sunday service. We learned that the Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom, a holy awareness of who He is.
We understood what it meant to recognise where we lack wisdom, seek God’s wisdom..

On Eternal Salvation. (A long read )

The first thing to note is that salvation is an eternal gift that is exclusively available in Christ Jesus .

This has never been in doubt.

If you trace theological positions through history you will find that no one questioned whether the man in Christ has access to what is in Christ .

The issue has always been on what is now called “ONCE SAVED , ALWAYS SAVED “ .

Specifically that once a man has accepted Christ , he can never ever lose his salvation even if he later denounces Christ .

I want to first state that historically , not one theologian held this view , not until the twentieth century. If you study the writings of the church fathers , the writings of the reformers and even those of John Calvin you will not find it .

In fact , the only two theologians you can even say taught something close to what is being muted today are Augustine and John Calvin yet both differ widely from what modern hypergrace preachers espouse .

Before I go into the writings of Augustine and John Calvin let me state here that the modern OSAS doctrine was actually popularized in a movement called the FREE GRACE Movement .

The major voices of this movement in the 20th century are Charles Ryrie , Zayne Hodges . I will write on them and what they taught later and compare with Augustine, John Calvin’s position .

Let’s begin with Augustine of Hippo

St. Augustine taught that final salvation and perseverance are entirely unearned gifts from God. He believed that while God genuinely predestines and preserves the elect to the end, no one can infallibly know if they possess the specific "gift of perseverance" in this life.

Augustine of Hippo first extensively detailed this theology in his 428–429 AD work, The Gift of Perseverance. His core views can be broken down as follows:

Perseverance as a Gift: Augustine argued that the ability to remain in the faith to the end is not generated by human free will. It is a distinct, sovereign, and unmerited grace given only to the elect.

Predestination: God predestines specific individuals for salvation. Augustine posited that God's grace is irresistible to the elect, ensuring that they will ultimately attain eternal life.Distinction from "Eternal Security": While both doctrines guarantee that the genuinely saved will reach heaven, modern concepts of "Eternal Security" often provide an assurance that a believer can know they are permanently saved the moment they accept Christ. Augustine, conversely, taught that one can never be absolutely certain of their ultimate election during earthly life.

The Problem of the "Fallen": Augustine had to address why some baptized individuals, who appeared to be walking in grace, ultimately fell away. He concluded that they possessed authentic faith and the Holy Spirit for a time, but were never granted the final "gift of perseverance" required to reach the end.

Augustine taught that the elect will persevere to the end because God gave that gift of perseverance and this perseverance is seen in their faith and conduct !

So Augustine didn’t view perseverance as something that was guaranteed because someone was baptized ( this was their confessional of faith ) but it was seen in that the man who believed continued to believe, this perseverance of faith was a gift that continued to the end of that man’s life .

Now let’s look at John Calvin .

John Calvin argued just like Augustine that final perseverance is a divine gift rather than a human achievement. He maintained that the elect are supernaturally sustained by the Holy Spirit, making it impossible for them to completely or permanently fall out of grace. This means that the saved will persevere in faith and good works powered by the grace of God such that they will never fully fall such as to lack either faith or good works .

Below is an overview of how Calvin formulated this doctrine across his primary works, complete with structural references.

Momentum begins with one step of obedience.

The greatest moves in Scripture started with ordinary people saying "yes" to God. Build your capacity, don't let fear, procrastination, or the need to be "different" keep you stuck.

@OikiaCCLekki Can't wait for tomorrow's service💃

[MrAnimated @Its__richie]

@OikiaCCLekki Courage is inexistence with the absence of difficulty

[MrAnimated @Its__richie]

@OikiaCCLekki Lovely❤️ Oikia is Home!

[Oikia Christian Centre Lekki @OikiaCCLekki]

Home isn't just a place. It's the people who make you feel seen, loved, and valued.

In a world that can feel busy and disconnected, sometimes all it takes is a simple act of love - a hug, a kind word, a shared moment- to remind us that we belong.

[MrAnimated @Its__richie]

@OikiaCCLekki Beautiful beautiful time it was 🥳💃

[Oikia Christian Centre Lekki @OikiaCCLekki]

What a Sunday.
What a celebration.
What a reminder of God’s faithfulness through the years.

From the powerful word, to the insightful panel session, the worship, the choir ministrations, the special guests, the dancing, the laughter, and every beautiful moment in between…

[Oikia Christian Centre Lekki @OikiaCCLekki]

“Who has shown you love?” ❤️

And suddenly, the room was filled with names.
Names of people who stayed, helped, prayed, encouraged, and carried others through different seasons of life.

Until every voice became one voice.
One unbroken chain of love.

[MrAnimated @Its__richie]

[Oikia Christian Centre Lekki @OikiaCCLekki]

Who is the Holy Ghost?
Why did Jesus say it was better for Him to come?
What does He do in the life of the believer today?

This Sunday, we look into the Scriptures to learn about the Holy Ghost.
Come with your Bible and an expectation to learn Christ.

[MrAnimated @Its__richie]

@OikiaCCLekki God speaks through the little voices too

[Oikia Christian Centre Lekki @OikiaCCLekki]

The season that feels like confusion might actually be navigation.

God is more willing to lead than people are willing to be led, and His leading is found even in the small instructions.

Pray the Word. Stay in the Word. Do the Word. 🤍
