The Baptizing Church | Out of Zion

Some blessings are meant to flow with ease when we walk in step of the Holy Spirit having understanding the revelation of His help. #ThingsoftheSpirit #Sunday #Recap #1000timesmore

One of the biggest conference happening in Ibadan this coming month of April. You don't want to miss it!

Dear minister, There is a dangerous mistake that many ministers make when they discover a truth that burns strongly in their spirit. Because the revelation is powerful, because it comes with clarity and conviction, they begin to treat that truth as if it stands alone. They preach it as though it exists independent of the rest of Scripture. And before long, what began as a divine emphasis becomes a doctrinal imbalance. When God calls a man to emphasise a particular truth, it does not mean He has called him to isolate that truth from the rest of the counsel of God. It means he has been entrusted with a lens, not a replacement for the whole body of truth. A man may be called to emphasise faith. Another may be called to emphasise grace. Another may labour in prayer. Another may teach righteousness. Another may emphasise the gifts of the Spirit. But none of these truths were designed to stand alone. They are co-efficient truths, operating together within the architecture of the gospel. The moment any minister situates his emphasis outside the whole counsel of God, he will begin to preach a version of that truth that is foreign to Scripture. The emphasis becomes exaggerated. The balance collapses. The message becomes extreme. And what started as revelation slowly drifts into distortion. The Scriptures themselves show us the proper pattern. Look at the apostle Paul. In Acts 26:18, when the Lord appeared to him and commissioned him, the assignment was clear: “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Paul’s mandate centred on two powerful realities: • the forgiveness of sins • the inheritance of the saints Yet to faithfully preach those two things, Paul could not remain narrow. He had to explore the full breadth of the gospel. To explain forgiveness, he had to teach grace. To explain inheritance, he had to teach righteousness. To explain sanctification, he had to teach faith. To explain life in Christ, he had to teach love, prayer, spiritual gifts, the Spirit, justification, union with Christ, and the body of Christ. The list was endless. Paul understood the gospel from many angles. He called it the word of faith (Romans 10:8). He called it the gospel of the grace of God (Acts 20:24). He spoke of the righteousness of God revealed by faith (Romans 1:17). He laboured extensively on love in 1 Corinthians 13. He taught on spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12–14. He instructed believers on prayer in many of his epistles. Why? Because no single truth carries the gospel alone. Every doctrine must live inside the ecosystem of the whole counsel of God. This is why, when Paul gathered the elders of Ephesus in Acts 20:27, he made a remarkable statement: “I have not shunned to declare unto you the whole counsel of God.” Not a portion. Not a favourite emphasis. Not a personal revelation in isolation. The whole counsel of God. Even in his apostolic assignment Paul held multiple burdens simultaneously. He was called the apostle to the Gentiles, and he openly said he magnified that office (Romans 11:13). Yet at the same time he carried a deep burden for the salvation of Israel and longed for the Jews to be saved (Romans 9–10). His emphasis never became his limitation. And Paul himself gives us the secret of how ministers must handle revelation.

Important update ⚠️⚠️⚠️ There will be no Midweek Service this Thursday. We look forward to worshipping with you again this Sunday. Stay blessed. 😇

The depth we can get into through worship.

@deleosunmakinde You just have to line up.

Dear minister It all began here on x Last June and July, we launched the first cohort of the Mathetheuo School of Ministry, and it was unprecedented. Loud, riveting, and life defining. Ministers joined from fifty two nations, not for motivation, but for real formation. This March, we return with a special five week deep ministry formation training. This is not trend driven ministry talk. It is structured, doctrinal, and transformational, designed for ministers who want clarity, stability, and longevity. If you are called, this will find you. If you are ready, this will shape you. Admission is free. To register, scan the QR code. See you in class.

Sweep theough the entire year in prayer and clear your entire pathway of spiritual "IEDs" The results will be whatever the enemy meant for evil, God turns it around for your own good.

GUESS WHAT❗ The evening *Download Service* would feature a special *Question and Answer Session*. gain clarity on the things that affect your spiritual growth, discipline, and stability. *Get your questions ready!* *Don't miss it!!* This Thursday | 7PM Live on Zoom

A quick word from our pastor @Timiopelami to you, do good to listen. #tbcoutofzion

You're not permitted to think small. God didn’t strengthen us to be static. He strengthened us to expand, advance, & take territories. The strength from God, is not for survival, it’s for movement This is our season to stretch our faith and step boldly into what God has prepared.

Christ Is Not a Topic He Is the Template... In the Gospels, Jesus is not teaching about life; He is demonstrating life. How He prays before choosing disciples How He responds to opposition How He handles honour without pride How He endures rejection without offence How He submits to the Father without anxiety To be nourished is to learn Christ as pattern, not merely quote Christ as content. You are nourished to the degree that Christ becomes your reflex.

Pressure Reveals the True Diet of the Minister Pay attention to what rules you when you are: Criticised Do you become defensive, combative, and reactive? Or does doctrine anchor you in humility, discernment, and restraint? Misunderstood Do you rush to explain yourself, justify yourself, or control the narrative? Or does truth steady you, allowing God to vindicate in His time? Overlooked Do you grow resentful, insecure, and bitter? Or does doctrine remind you that calling is not validated by visibility? Celebrated Do you become inflated, careless, or addicted to applause? Or does sound teaching keep you sober, grounded, and accountable? Tempted to perform Do you adjust your message to gain approval, retain relevance, or protect numbers? Or does doctrine hold you firm when compromise would be easier? These moments expose whether doctrine is decoration or dominion. When Emotions Lead, Malnutrition Is Exposed Emotions are real. They are not evil. But they were never designed to govern ministry. If emotions take the lead and doctrine disappears, nourishment is still shallow. If feelings decide your theology in crisis, you are not yet fed—you are reacting from hunger. Malnourished ministers: react first explain later repent after damage is done They theologise after the outburst. They search for verses to justify behaviour rather than submit behaviour to truth. That is not wickedness. That is weak nutrition. The Mark of a Nourished Minister A nourished minister does not react first and theologise later. They think doctrinally before responding emotionally. Truth governs their reflexes. Sound teaching slows them down. Scripture frames their response before emotions get a microphone. They ask, often unconsciously: What does the gospel say about this moment? How does sound doctrine train me to respond here? What posture aligns with truth, not ego? This is not emotional suppression. It is doctrinal formation. This Is Not Temperament ,It Is Nutrition This has nothing to do with personality types. Not introversion. Not extroversion. Not calmness by nature. It is diet. What you have consistently fed on will eventually take control when pressure removes filters. Under strain, performance collapses,but nourishment stands. Pressure does not create behaviour. It reveals what has been forming you all along. And this is why Paul insists that a good minister of Jesus Christ must be nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine. Because when pressure comes—and it will— only what has truly fed you will be trusted to lead you.
