The Great Bawana has already started with the "threats" to his African members. Like most Church of God leaders, threats have to be used to keep members in line and fearful of losing their chance at salvation. They have to be reminded that salvation is only available to them in a COG group and only if they follow the party line of the dear leader. Bob Thiel has been very adamant that his group and his group alone is the ONLY true Church of God doing any work in the 21st century.
Concluding CommentsThe Book of Proverbs teaches:
15 It is a joy for the just to do justice, But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity. 16 A man who wanders from the way of understanding will rest in the assembly of the dead. (Proverbs 21:15-16)
Brethren, notice that the just should do justice and that destruction comes to the workers of iniquity.
So far, so good.But notice that wandering away from the way of understanding also results in destruction.This may be part of the reason that the New Testament states:
10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:10-11)
Be careful to remain diligent.
Do not neglect what you should be doing and so an entrance to God’s kingdom will be given to you.Sincerely,Bob Thiel
Pastor and Overseer
