This is so good to have because churches are still going through these issues right now. This shows great leadership and accountability and teaches new leaders how to deal with these issues within the churches they lead. Thank you Jonathan
Thank you brother for sharing. We have to live right after we shout. A praose break will not keep, but the word will and its alway right. Chastisements yields peaceable fruits of righteousness.
I couldn’t have said it better myself! I guess us Baptists aren’t the only denomination that cuss, fight, and “pack” like they try to make us believe! Haha!!!💪🏾👑
R.I.H. BISHOP J. O. PATTERSON,SR HE WAS A GREAT LEADER , A GREAT PREACHER, A GREAT TEACHER, A GREAT MAN THAT GOD CHOSE TO LEAD COGIC IN A TIME THAT WAS MUCH NEEDED. HE IS TRULY MISSED HE DIDN'T SUGARCOAT ANYTHING. COGIC NEEDS TO GO BACK HOLINESS BECAUSE HOLINESS IS RIGHT 🙏✝️🙏
“Holiness is right, if I’m wrong, holiness is still right. If you’re wrong, holiness is still right. And God honors only holiness.” - Bishop J. O. Patterson Wow, what a leader Bishop J. O. Patterson was. How we need leaders like that in the Church in general.
Let Us Always Forever pray that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless us with leadership of the church that our savior Jesus Christ built I thank God for the teachers of the Church of God in Christ that have taught me to grow to be strong in a witness and testimony of the truth the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ meaning of our teachers have come and gone to be with our Lord but the teaching of their life still Shines on because of their righteousness to the truth that taught me whatever may be my Lord and Savior strengthen me and forever I pray teachers of today stay true to the righteousness of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
If more of this would occur it would eliminate a lot of the foolishness going on in the church currently, which many are falling into error by keeping silent. It would also help those who are not saved and steer clear of the church due to hypocrisy to come to church and hear truth!
Wow, I know folks have different opinions about Bishop J.O. but you can’t say the man wasn’t principled. This, unfortunately, I see missing from our Mother Church today.
Father-God, with the help of the Holy Spirit, I choose to bring my thoughts, this feeling of guilt, the nightmares, the bad memories, and all that I am to You. Give me mercy from Your fountain of forgiveness. Even in my darkness moments You were there; when I violated my own conscience, You grieved with me. When I was abused and violated, or witnessed and encountered the horrific, You knew. The trauma of all that I’ve experienced continues to hang on, but I know that Jesus came to set the captives free. I know Your abundant love is enough to wash away my guilt, and because Your compassion is so great, You take away this shameful guilt of sin. I know Your abundant love is enough to remove the sting and terror of stubborn memories. I surrender to You, Father, and today I choose to stand up to the devil and resist him, and he will turn and run away from me. I move my heart closer and closer to You, and You will come even closer to me. I choose to cleanse my mind of the trauma of the past and keep my heart pure, and I choose to replace my doubting with the Word of God. Jesus, You came to give me life-even abundant life, and I walk in the freedom of the Holy Spirit who is my constant Companion.
@@calebferguson6051they where not first cousins, bishop J. O Patterson was the uncle of bishop G.E Patterson… bishop J.O and the father of bishop G.E where brothers.
God has an order. Therefore confusion is not of God. By obedience to God the unsaved can see the difference and God will call them to obedience to him. This is the reason leaders are birthed. Because God has an order and it will be followed.
For the edification of the saints for one. Take it in love; don’t be defensive. If it is not feeding you don’t eat, let someone else come to the table and feed of it. Hallelujah! It is God’s business anyway!
First of all, all denominations are unbiblical. The Lord is the head of the Church not COGIC and the rest. Where do we get off putting labels and add ons to the name people Jesus purchased with His own blood all by Himself? In Revelation Jesus addressed the 7 churches as the Church at Ephesus, Smyrna etc. Never once did he mention this unbiblical demonic denominationalism. That’s one place of division and idolatry.
It's a personal walk. None of us, Not one have rock, stone or pebble to throw. Pray and trust God to do the rest. It takes just one negative to get a snowball rolling of negativity. Hope thou in the Lord.
We are all individuals and whether folk/saints or anyone is "MESSY OR NOT" We MUST work out or own salvation with FEAR and TREMBLING". Fear is the BEGINNING of Wisdom.
I don't think thats true. Lots of people call Bishop Blake "The Goat" because of his success as a COGIC Pastor, Jurisdictional leader and as Presiding Bishop. He changed the game with the Praise and Worship movement, Largest and richest church in COGIC, founded the biggest African American Charity in Africa, etc... And personally this channel wouldn't be around if it wasn't for Bishop Blake. He is a Visionary Leader. Who I think gets attacked and hated on for living in California.
I did not personally know Bishop Blake and we are to pray one for another. I pray that you lifted him up in prayer AND worked out your own salvation with FEAR AND TREMBLING; Because this WALK is individual and personal. God Bless you.
