Greetings brethren. Thanks be to God.
Summary of what I learnt from Brother Eli's Soriano teachings.
I John 4:1, II Peter 2:1. Christ is the only one authorized to teach His doctrines. As true Christians we should examine every doctrines whether it's coming from the Lord.
Ecclesiastes 7:27. The word of God is like a standard, it's like a weighing scale. It should be exact with the word of God. If the teachings contradict the word of God, it then means the teacher is a false prophets. We should compare the teachings of false prophets with another to find out which is true.
I Thessalonians 5:21-22, Romans 12:9. Check which is good, cleave to that which is good, abstain from all things that are evil by comparing the wrong doctrines to that which is the true doctrines of Jesus Christ.
Another point I learnt was how to call upon God.
Calling upon God or praying is one of the doctrines of our Lord Jesus. Praying is a commandment of Christ. How do we do it and why( John 9:31).
Proverbs 15:8
If we sin every single day, God will not hear our prayers. If the person praying is evil God will not answer. If the person praying is upright Gud is delighted and pleased and happy. If the person is someone who is wicked, it is an abomination unto God.
How is the right way of praying that is in accordance with the word of God.
Matthew 6:7-8. When we're praying, we should not use vain repetitions in prayer example five round of hail Mary, ten times of our father and apostle Creed. The doctrine of the rosary is wrong as the Lord Jesus Christ did not teach it here on Earth.
Matthew 6:8. God is not deaf not slow to understand, we should not make vain repetitions because even before we ask God will hear and answer us because He knows our heart desires.
Isaiah 65:24. Praying repititively is highly prohibited by God because he not deaf. Even in the storm, the smallest prayer will still be heard by Him.
Matthew 6:5. One way to pray is not to show up when we pray. When praying it should not be done as the hypocrites does. Praying should be done in closed doors. It's a private matter between we and God. Our God will reward us openly. It is prohibited to pray openly (standing) in the intention of showing it to men.
Mark 11:25. It is prohibited to stand and pray. But if we must, we should do it in an orderly place forgiving those who have offended us and not hypocritically.
Act 20:36. As a true Christian, we should kneel down when praying to God if the situation allows. The word kneel down in Greek "Tithemi" which means horizontal posture to place ourself. Folding our knee with our face towards the ground. The same way the early Christian did even Christ did.
Tithemi means an act of humility, respect and worship to God.
Psalm 95:6. Kaw-rah means bowing down to bend the knees, prostrating. When in our house,the way to pray is kaw-rah or Tithemi where no one else can see us. If we use Kaw-rah in praying, the prayer is more effective.
I Corinthians 11:3-5. The more we kneel down the more respectful our prayers becomes. We should show utmost respect and intense humility to God. It is lack of respect for God if a man prays with his head covered while a woman should have a covering on the head when praying because if a woman have no covering, she'd be dishonouring her head.
How the teachings affects my daily life is that when praying it should be kept short and simple without vain repetitions with our knee down. And prayers should be done with discipline. That way our prayers will be effective and acceptable by God.
Thanks be to God
