Hello brothers and sisters
The Summary of what I learnt from Brother Eli's teaching
I learnt that we should set our affections on the things above and not on the things of the earth
Colossians 3 vs 1-2
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
I learnt that because of Christ we are close to God but before Christ came, we were far from God
Ephesians 2:11–12
Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” which is done in the body by human hands remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
I learnt that the man is composed of 4 different heart. the thorny heart, the Rocky heart, the way side heart and the good heart
Luke 8:5-8
A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds ate it up. 6 Some fell on rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants withered because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up with it and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.
When he said this, he called out, “Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”
I learnt that our hearts can be renewed by God despite the evil devices of our hearts
Ezekiel 36:26
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
I learnt that no adulterers, fornicators, no thief's will enter the kingdom of God
1 Corinthians 6:9,10
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Thanks be to God
