“For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have NOTHING TO GLORY of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of THE GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17. 

WHY do people get so worried that in the existence and presence of the Church — the embassy and ambassador of God for human and world redemption — that the world is still going crazy in stupidity and foolishness, and in every bad taste of trajectory with wars, hunger, distortion, confusion, and unstable governments and governance? 

The answer is simply this: for all the unimaginable problems in the world, all that the world does hear and see today is nothing but RELIGION and DENOMINATION and DOCTRINAL sectarianism, sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation. 

Unlike the early Church Disciples and Apostles of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who PREACHED THE GOSPEL and were acclaimed as people who turned their world inside out or upside down by the GOSPEL they proclaimed — and who were set to die for the cause and course. 

“. . . 6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN ARE COME hither also . . .” Acts 17:1-7 

“Now when they saw the BOLDNESS of Peter and John, and PERCEIVED that they were UNLEARNED and IGNORANT men, they marvelled; and they took KNOWLEDGE of them, that they had BEEN with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it” Acts 4:13. 

FOR A WORLD WITHOUT THE GOSPEL in any phase and dispensation, will indicate all the worries of today and such like that we see. 

For only by THE GOSPEL can the world experience EMANCIPATION from all known and unknown bondages, in order to have faith toward God’s SALVATION in Christ Jesus, and to receive the REVELATION by faith to faith, of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [righteous stand] for the complete liberation of all. 
Romans 1:16-17; Romans 5:1-2; Acts 20:20-21 

The consummation of God’s plan for man’s salvation with religion, denomination, and doctrinal sect DOGMAS will not emancipate anyone, no matter how much investment and resources. Instead, it will get people enslaved in the DOGMAS and keep them devoted in commitment and dedication to such-like sectarianism of belief, as we see across the board. 

Religiously denominationalised and doctrinal “GOSPEL” are very destructive and keep people in perpetual subjection, bondages, and dogmas as long as it is there. 

That’s why Apostle Paul warned the Galatian Church of their shift from the Gospel that brought them genuine salvation into “ANOTHER GOSPEL” Galatians 1:6-9. 

“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER GOSPEL: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that TROUBLE you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though WE, or AN ANGEL from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9. 

For the GOSPEL is not a religion, denomination and doctrine but the POWER and WISDOM of God for all human salvation irrespective of gender, colour, tongue and geographical location and inclinations. [Acts 17:24-30; Revelation 5:9-10; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 3:26-29]. 

THE GOSPEL has been before the law, the psalms, and the prophets; 
and it answered those who are outbound and out-bent by the law, psalms, and prophets as the basis and ground of faith toward God and His Christ — rather than the gospel, which is Christ, and expressed in the WORD, of which He is the WORD. 
John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7 

God PREACHED THE GOSPEL to Father Abraham, through whom the whole nation and families of the earth shall be BLESSED — long before the law, the psalms, the prophets, and others came into being. 
Galatians 3:8 

Meaning also, long before religion, denomination, and doctrine were crafted and shaped by men for all to be enslaved into as a sect.  

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the HEATHEN through faith, PREACHED BEFORE THE GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9 [2 Corinthians 5:17-21]. 

“Now the Lord had SAID unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a GREAT NATION, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3. 

I am emboldened to say today, that any FOUNDATION that’s not centered on the GOSPEL wherein God’s power and wisdom are ascertained for human SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS, leads to SELF, HYPE and APPLAUD and ENTITLEMENTS of men and not after God and His Christ Jesus, for the good of all mankind in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Corinthians 1:18-24]. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have NOTHING TO GLORY of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of THE GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17. 

“For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17. 

“How then shall they CALL on him in whom they have NOT BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have NOT HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the FEET of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report? 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:14-17. 

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was NOT SPOKEN of, they shall see: and they that have NOT HEARD shall understand” Romans 15:20-21. 

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18. 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14. 

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 GO ye therefore, and TEACH all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature . . . 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20. 

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8. 

“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city” Acts 8:1-8. 

SUMMARY: 

The message teaches us that the world’s problems will not be solved by RELIGION, DENOMINATION, or DOCTRINE. Only THE GOSPEL — the Power and Wisdom of God — can emancipate humanity from all bondage, reveal God’s Righteousness, and bring true salvation. Preaching the Gospel is not optional. It is a NECESSITY, a DISPENSATION committed to the Church, and our supreme global task. 
1 Corinthians 9:16 — “woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL!” 
Romans 1:16 — “For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION” 

KEY POINTS: 

1. WHY THE WORLD IS STILL IN CHAOS DESPITE THE CHURCH 
   The Church is God’s embassy and ambassador for world redemption. Yet the world is still full of wars, hunger, confusion, and unstable governance. 
   Why? Because what the world sees today is not THE GOSPEL, but RELIGION, DENOMINATION, and DOCTRINAL SECTARIANISM — sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation. 
   Unlike the early Church Disciples and Apostles who PREACHED THE GOSPEL and “TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN” Acts 17:6. They were men who had “BEEN WITH JESUS” Acts 4:13 and were willing to die for the cause. 

2. THE GOSPEL IS THE ONLY MEANS OF EMANCIPATION
   FOR A WORLD WITHOUT THE GOSPEL, all the worries we see today will continue. 
   Only by THE GOSPEL can the world experience EMANCIPATION from all known and unknown bondages. 
   It produces FAITH toward God’s SALVATION in Christ Jesus and the REVELATION by faith to faith of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [righteous stand] for complete liberation Romans 1:16-17; Romans 5:1-2. 

Religion, denomination, and doctrinal DOGMAS cannot emancipate. No matter the investment, they only enslave people in commitment to sectarian belief. 
A religiously denominationalised “gospel” keeps people in perpetual subjection and bondage. 
That’s why Paul warned the Galatians against shifting to “ANOTHER GOSPEL” Galatians 1:6-9 — “let him be ACCURSED.” 

3. THE GOSPEL IS NOT RELIGION — IT IS CHRIST, THE POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD
   The Gospel is not a religion, denomination, or doctrine. 
   It is THE POWER and WISDOM of God for all human salvation — irrespective of gender, colour, tongue, or location 1 Corinthians 1:18-24; Acts 17:24-30; Revelation 5:9-10. 

THE GOSPEL PRECEDED THE LAW, PSALMS, AND PROPHETS. 
It answered those who were “outbound and out-bent” by the law. The Gospel IS CHRIST, expressed in the WORD, of which He is the WORD John 1:1-5, 14. 

GOD PREACHED THE GOSPEL TO ABRAHAM Galatians 3:8 — “In thee shall ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3, long before religion, denomination, and doctrine were crafted by men to enslave. 
Galatians 3:6-9 — Those of faith are children of Abraham and are BLESSED with him. 

4. PREACHING THE GOSPEL IS A NECESSITY AND A DISPENSATION 
   1 Corinthians 9:16-17 — Paul said preaching the Gospel is a NECESSITY laid on him. To preach willingly brings REWARD. To refuse is disobedience to a DISPENSATION COMMITTED to him. 

The Great Commission: 
Matthew 24:14 — The Gospel of the Kingdom must be preached in all the world as a witness. 
Matthew 28:18-20 — GO and TEACH all nations. 
Mark 16:15-20 — PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. The Lord will confirm the Word with signs. 
Acts 1:8 — You shall receive POWER to be WITNESSES to the uttermost part of the earth. 
Romans 10:14-17 — How shall they believe without a preacher? FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God. 

5. THE WARNING: PREACH THE TRUE GOSPEL, NOT ANOTHER 
   Some preach Christ out of ENVY, STRIFE, CONTENTION, and PRETENCE Philippians 1:15-18. 
   But the true Gospel must be preached in TRUTH and LOVE for the defence of the Gospel. 
   Any foundation not centred on the Gospel leads to SELF, HYPE, APPLAUD, and ENTITLEMENTS of men, not after God and Christ 1 Corinthians 1:18-24. 

6. THE RESULT OF GOSPEL PREACHING 
   Acts 8:1-8 — When Philip preached Christ, there was great joy in the city. Demons came out, the sick were healed. 
   The Gospel brings liberation, joy, and the manifestation of God’s power. 

CALL TO ACTION: 

THIS IS OUR GLOBAL AND INESCAPABLE SUPREME TASK 

• Preach THE GOSPEL, not religion — Let go of sectarianism, dogma, and denominational hype. 

• Be willing to die for the cause — Like the early Apostles who turned the world upside down. 

• Go to where Christ has not been named — Romans 15:20-21. Build on the foundation of Christ. 

• Let faith work — Preach so people can HEAR, BELIEVE, and be SAVED Romans 10:17. 

• Guard the Gospel — Reject “another gospel.” Christ crucified is the Power of God unto salvation. 

Final Word: 

The world is not waiting for another denomination. The world is waiting for THE GOSPEL. It is the Power of God. It is our NECESSITY. It is our TASK. And until it is preached, the world remains in bondage. 

REV. CHUKIE MORSI

Why worried that in the existence of the Church, the world is still going crazy in stupidity and foolishness and in every bad taste of trajectory with wars, hunger, distortion, confusion and unstable governments and governance. It’s simply because, for this – all they hear and see is nothing but RELIGION and DENOMINATION and DOCTRINAL sect’s. Unlike the early Disciples and Apostles of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who PREACHED the GOSPEL and were acclaimed as they who turned their world inside out or upside down by the GOSPEL they proclaimed and were set to die for the cause and course.

“. . .  6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN ARE COME hither also . . .” Acts 17:1-7.

“Now when they saw the BOLDNESS of Peter and John, and PERCEIVED that they were UNLEARNED and IGNORANT men, they marveled; and they took KNOWLEDGE of them, that they had BEEN with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it” Acts 4:13.

For a no GOSPEL world in any phase and dispensation, indicates all the worries of today and such like. For only by the GOSPEL that the world can experience the EMANCIPATION from all known and unknown bondages to have faith toward God’s SALVATION in Christ Jesus and to receive the REVELATION by faith to faith, of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS (righteous stand) for complete liberation of all. Romans 5:1-2.

The consummation of God’s elect for man’s salvation with religion, denomination and doctrinal sect DOGMAS will not emancipate any, no matter how much investment and resources, instead it will get people enslaved in the DOGMAS and keep them to be devoted in commitment and dedication to such like sectarianism of believe as we see across the board.

Religious, denominationized and doctrinal “GOSPEL” are very destructive and keeps people in perpetual subjection and bondages and dogmas as long it’s there. That’s why Apostle Paul warns the Galatians Church of their shift from the Gospel that brought them genuine salvation into “ANOTHER GOSPEL”.

For the GOSPEL is not a religion, denomination and doctrine but the POWER and WISDOM of God for all human salvation irrespective of gender, colour, tongue and geographical location and inclinations. (Acts 17:24-30; Revelation 5:9-10; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 3:26-29).

The Gospel has been before the law, the psalms and the prophet, to answer those who are outbound and out bent by the law, Psalms and prophet’s as basis and ground of faith toward God and His Christ rather than the gospel which is Christ and express in the WORD, of which He’s the WORD (John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7). God PREACHED the GOSPEL to Father Abraham through whom the whole nation and families shall be blessed on the earth long before the law, the psalms and the prophets and others came to being. Meaning also, long before religion, denomination and doctrine, was crafted and shaped by men for all to be enslaved into as a sect.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the HEATHEN through faith, PREACHED BEFORE THE GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9 (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

“Now the Lord had SAID unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a GREAT NATION, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.

I am emboldened to say today, that any FOUNDATION that’s not centered on the GOSPEL wherein God’s power and wisdom are ascertained for human SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS, leads to SELF, HYPE and APPLAUD and ENTITLEMENTS of men and not after God and His Christ Jesus, for the good of all mankind in Christ Jesus stead. 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.
