The Purified Church – Apostle Joshua Selman
The character of pride is downplaying the contribution of others and a desire that the prideful alone stands out. Materialism is not the presence of material possession; it is the negative influence of materials on your relationships.
As a minister, contained in your strategy for building believers must be a template that helps the Body reflect the purified church. The Lord purifies and matures His church by commendation and correction; commending what is done well and right and correcting areas that require adjustment.
The church of Ephesus in Revelations 1 -11 gives an understudy and insight into the character of how God purifies His Church.
There is a kind of Church and Bride that He is returning for (Ephesians 5:26-27)
It is the assignment of the fivefold ministry to help build and mature the Body to be efficient even as we await Christ’s coming (Ephesians 4:12-14)
The character of Jesus in dealing with the church is to commend appropriately and then correct; this provides a template for building and correction in the Body today.
There are seven deadly sin that has corrupted the church. Identifying these deadly sins is an attempt to purify the church of Christ and present her as a worthy bride in preparation for the coming of Christ.
In this powerful sermon, Apostle Joshua Selman teaches on the Seven Deadly Sins that Must be purged from the Church:
1). Sexual immorality and related perversions
2). Lust for money and material things. (Mark 8:36, 1 Timothy 6:7-10)
3). The sin of witchcraft and extra-biblical practices. (Deuteronomy 18:9-14, Ezekiel 13:1-11, Acts 16:16-18)
4). Pride, vain glory and self-centeredness. (James 4:6, Luke 18:9-14, Romans 12:1-6)
5). The Sin of the Tongue; lying, backbiting, sowing seeds of discord. (Psalms 33:12-13, Proverbs 6:16-19)
6). Competition and unhealthy comparison (2 Corinthians 10:12-18)
7). The sin of imbalance (Proverbs 20:27-28, Acts 18:24-26, Revelations 21:9-11, 16)
