WHAT DOESN'T MATTER

Recently, I have had to address the concerns of friends of our ministry, Saints Community Church on whether our teachings are being plagiarized or not.
First and foremost, any true teaching of scriptures can't be plagiarized.
Christ is its message.
Hence, it must be preached and taught by all and Sundry who believe; no one owns its copyright.
Yes, it’s commendable when people credit who taught or teaches them but that's all that is to it.
If men refuse to honor their teachers, it never depreciates God’s true honor.
Secondly, our pursuit is not the popularity of our church or leadership.
As Paul put it, it’s about Christ
2 Corinthians 4:5 KJV
[5] For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
So it gladdens us to see several foremost church leaders feed from us as we have fed from others too, even though we do give due honor.
Furthermore, as long as such truths aren't being twisted, they will serve its purpose
Philippians 1:18 KJV
[18] What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
We are aware some pretend not to have learnt off anyone much less us, but God knows the hearts and rewards all.
We are grateful for very respected clergy, some who have been in ministry for half a decade, others less who wrote us letters acknowledging how much blessing our website has been, let me quote a foremost theologian who wrote us
"I have so been blessed by the teaching; “Charismatic ministry”, I had to review all I have stood for and against since 1971, please beloved, pray for me to have boldness to publicly affirm all I have been corrected of the Lord"
He heads a notable theological seminary.
Many more have so written,
For this we owe God all the honor.
Lastly, a preacher of the gospel must never look for praise, Kenneth Hagin taught us "to be dead to the praise and censure of men"
We deliberately made all our teachings, audio, video and written free because it's our passion to see the truth all over the world.
It matters less to us even if the titles are changed or retained, what matters is LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW ALL CHRIST HAS DONE, IS DOING AND WILL YET DO!
Finally, like Jesus said concerning His message
Luke 9:49-50 KJV
[49] And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
[50] And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
That's our firm conviction.
We surely know "Word ti take over"
You are blessed
