• When you are on your spiritual journey there's going to be a moment when you start to question everything...
    Why am I here on earth?
    What is the purpose of life?
    Am I with the right partner?
    How will I ever find the right partner?
    Should I leave my job?
    Am I ever be able to do what I love and make enough money?
    Why do I feel like I don't belong in my family?
    Why is my friend group changing so much?
    It's going to feel deeply uncomfortable. Like nothing is making sense.
    But this is an incredibly important part of your spiritual journey.
    It's the moment the veil starts to come off
    It's the moment you awaken.
    It's where things change and you start to see yourself as you are and understand why you came here.
    This is the part where you trust yourself.
    Where you don't give up.
    And you lean into the unknown.
    Because where you are headed is going to take you to more joy, more love and a deeper connection to yourself.
    You are never alone. You are actually more supported than you'll ever truly know.

    Let me know if this resonates below and what advice you have for anyone going through this part of the journey

  • TOWARDS THE PERFECT MAN![JAMES 1:4]

    THERE'S NO PERFECT CHURCH, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO PERFECT PEOPLE!(ROM.3:10)

    We're not here to exonerate pastors from the rot in the church of God today,after all,if truly called,we know what we're in for.
    BUT THE TRUTH WE OFTEN OVERLOOK IS THAT MEMBERS GET AT LEAST 70-80% OF THE BLAME.

    Have you ever wondered why people change churches like underwears? It's because they feel their needs weren't met in a particular church. Yes, it's saddening to see seemingly fervent members disappear into a life of complancency and apathy.
    It’s one of the saddest parts of being a pastor.

    The problem came as a result of misplaced expectations. In other words, they expected something from the church that the church promised,but couldn't fulfill. Here, you see them going to a particular church because of what I can call disinformation by a pastor...a man like them. Remember God has no grandchild.

    Most of us go to church not really knowing why we are there. Others have promises made to them by overzealous pastors who play God. These are mostly those hunting for a child or a spouse ,others for quick prosperity,others for protection from probably imaginary enemies and a host of other reasons space and time won't permit. AND TRULY,MANY OF US UNSCRUPULOUS PREY ON THIS VULNERABLE GROUP.

    WHAT WE SHOULD KNOW!

    A church is a place to gather weekly for worship, but it’s up to me whether I will experience the presence of God;
    God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (Joh 4: 24)

    One of the biggest misconceptions people have is to mistake music for worship.
    Music is not worship. Organs, pianos, keyboards, drums, choirs, guitars, lights, speakers, hymnals, screens, projectors, and soundboards,etc, are not instruments of worship. They are accessories for music.

    Nor is Worship singing. Worship is surrendering. If you attend a large group gathering of Christians committed to honoring Christ Jesus and walk away without having worshiped, the fault is yours, not theirs.(Genuine pastors)

    A church is a family I can belong to, but it’s up to me to develop friendships;
    A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. (Pro 18: 24)

    So many people join our churches but never invest in relationships. These are they which I said don't know the actual purpose of being there. They simply attend services. They treat the church like a fast-food restaurant – get my food and get out quickly and with as little interaction as possible. But sooner or later life happens, and when their world starts coming apart they have no relational safety net. They suddenly expect “the pastor” to “be there for them,” like he’s a spiritual Genie. Just rub the lamp and *poof*, there he is! But that’s not even the biblical calling of pastors.

    According to Ephesians 4:12, pastors are called to equip the members to be the hands and feet of Jesus. God designed the church to be a community of connected Christians, not a collection of customers waiting to be served. In such scenarios, pastors come under severe criticism when it isn't their fault.

    A church is a place where gifted teachers will explain the Bible and how I can apply it to my life, but it’s up to me to align my life with God’s truth;
    But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. (Jas 1: 22)

    Sadly,many wave off the "doing" aspects,yet expect God to meet our needs. And again,the blame is on pastors,when there's no spiritual alignment with Christ Jesus;
    17. I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
    18. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. (Pro 8: 17-18)
    That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures. (Pro 8: 21)

    If ye love me, keep my commandments. (Joh 14: 15)

    Thus,if our expectations aren't met in a particular church,it isn't because the Word of God wasn't taught,but it's because WE WANT THE PASTORS TO DO THE*OBEDIENCE* SIDE FOR US.
    And yes,but unfortunately,some not fully yielded pastors in a bid to keep these members have committed themselves to unholy practices, damaging their calling (if it was genuine in the first place)!

    As a starter, we are taught on personal evangelism,(saved to save others). So just out of curiosity, how many people have we personally shared our faith with in the last 3 months? 6 months? Year? These things we see as trivial matter so much to God.
    How many unchurched people have we invited to church recently? Can we name at least one person, who is far from God, that has come to church because of our invitation within the last year?” Every Christian believer is an evangelist (ordained or not)

    A church is a place where I can use my gifts, passion, skills, personality, and life experiences to serve, but it’s up to me to become a servant;
    Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. (Mat 20: 28)

    It’s been my experience that some of the most vocal critics in the church are often the least engaged. They have a lot of suggestions, but no involvement.
    It’s a lot easier to criticize from the pews. People who aren’t serving in the church are often one change away from becoming disgruntled.
    There are two kinds of church members. Those that are serving and those that believe they are deserving.Only one of those will make you like Christ Jesus.

    This is personal. But I believe that the metric for maturity is ministry. I am never impressed by someone’s Bible knowledge, but I am always impressed by unselfish service. Serving in a ministry that delivers hope and healing to hearts and homes immunizes us from apathy and keeps us trapped into the mission.

    A church is a place where I have the chance to change the world by fulfilling the Great Commission, but it’s up to me to actually become a person of impact;
    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? (Rom 10: 14)

    Finally, perhaps the greatest misconception of all is when we think that the church’s primary mission is to meet our needs.

    Churches exist primarily for their non-members. They exist to bring hope and healing to a broken and hurting world.
    This is why I said earlier that there is no perfect church because there are no perfect people.

    There are only imperfect churches filled with imperfect people striving to make an impact on this broken world.

    Whenever we forget the critical nature of that mission and begin to focus on pettiness and preferences, we grieve the heart of God and we fail the mission of the Master.

    As a pastor, I’ve heard plenty of those who have let me know how the church has let them down, but I’ve rarely heard from those who have realized how they’ve let the church down.

    The needs of a lost world are too critical for us to waste time. So, let's get busy being the Hands and Feet of Christ Jesus.

    May God help us to fulfill our mandate in Christ Jesus' Name,Amen!TOWARDS THE PERFECT MAN![JAMES 1:4]

(Mat 20: 28) It’s been my experience that some of the most vocal critics in the church are often the least engaged. They have a lot of suggestions, but no involvement. It’s a lot easier to criticize from the pews. People who aren’t serving in the church are often one change away from becoming disgruntled. There are two kinds of church members. Those that are serving and those that believe they are deserving.Only one of those will make you like Christ Jesus. This is personal. But I believe that the metric for maturity is ministry. I am never impressed by someone’s Bible knowledge, but I am always impressed by unselfish service. Serving in a ministry that delivers hope and healing to hearts and homes immunizes us from apathy and keeps us trapped into the mission. πŸ‘‰A church is a place where I have the chance to change the world by fulfilling the Great Commission, but it’s up to me to actually become a person of impact; 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? (Rom 10: 14) Finally, perhaps the greatest misconception of all is when we think that the church’s primary mission is to meet our needs. Churches exist primarily for their non-members. They exist to bring hope and healing to a broken and hurting world. This is why I said earlier that there is no perfect church because there are no perfect people. There are only imperfect churches filled with imperfect people striving to make an impact on this broken world. Whenever we forget the critical nature of that mission and begin to focus on pettiness and preferences, we grieve the heart of God and we fail the mission of the Master. As a pastor, I’ve heard plenty of those who have let me know how the church has let them down, but I’ve rarely heard from those who have realized how they’ve let the church down. The needs of a lost world are too critical for us to waste time. So, let's get busy being the Hands and Feet of Christ Jesus. May God help us to fulfill our mandate in Christ Jesus' Name,AmenπŸ™‡πŸ™!

    WEIGHED IN BALANCE (SCALE) AND FOUND WANTING! [DAN.5:4-5)

    Someday, every one of us is going to be in this world for the last day of our life. Every day that we live should be a day t;:hat we live in reference to that fact, because whether we live until Chist Jesus returns, or die first, there will come a day when our destiny is fixed for eternity and there will be nothing that we can do to change it.
    You know as I have always inferred, MANY OF US DO THINK THAT LIFE ENDS HERE WHEN WE CLOSE OUR EYES IN DEATH, AND HONESTLY, I PITY THEM.

    If it was so,then what s miserable people we would all be(the learned and unlearned) that dedicated their lives to the Work of God!
    Those who are committed to the pursuit of eternal life are deemed and mocked as fools. And why is it so? It's the impression (overblown knowledge that has led to truly scientific, architectural and engineering wonders. A ploy Satan is using to harden the heart of many a soul...THERE CAN NEVER BE ANY HEAVEN MORE THAN THIS;
    In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2Co 4: 4)

    Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: (Eph 4: 18)

    Now,let consider the story a Bible character that thought that will never be a *tomorrow*

    4. They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.(JUST LIKE WE HYPE MONEY TODAY.) 5. In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. (Dan 5: 4-5)

    6. It was Belshazzar’s last day on this earth, and we are told that he was giving a party. “They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, and iron, wood and stone.” Daniel 5:4. Have you ever read the text in the Bible that says, “The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth”? Ecclesiastes 7:4. “In the same hour the fingers of a man’s hand appeared and wrote opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace; and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king’s countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his knees knocked against each other.” Daniel 5:5, 6.
    “When God makes men fear, they cannot hide the intensity of their terror.”

    So, Belshazzar called in all of the wise men, those that understand science and philosophy, that they might tell him the meaning of the writing; but they could not do so. “The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spoke, saying to the wise men of Babylon, ‘Whoever reads this writing, and tells me its . around his neck; and he shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.’” Daniel 5:7. Philosophy and science have their proper place, but learning and education will not save you on your last day on earth unless yoou know the God of heaven.

    The queen mother then came to Belshazzar and said, “There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; There's a man and King, 4 Nebuchadnezzar your father—your father the king—made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers. Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, knowledge, understanding, interpreting dreams, solving riddles, and explaining enigmas were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.” Verses 11, 12.

    BUT ALSO DON'T FORGET...IN THE LION'S DEN... HE TOLD THE KING *INNOCENCE WAS FOUND IN ME*

    Let's be sincere with ourselves...Can innocence be found in us weighed in God's scale!

    So Daniel came in and gave the interpretation of the handwriting that was on the wall. He began by reviewing with him the providence of God in the life of Nebuchadnezzar.

    “But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him. Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, TILL HE KNEW THAT THE MOST HIGH GOD RULES IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN and appoints over it whomever He chooses. But you his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, ALTHOUGH YOU KNEW ALL THIS, And you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven.” Verses 20–23. By his actions, Belshazzar had despised the God of heaven.

    It's the SAME WITH MANY OF US TOFAY . We despised God and His Word in so many activities or our way of life.
    “The fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written. And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of each word. MENE; God has numbered your kingdom and finished it.” Verses 24–16.

    The time is going to come when we will be in this world for our last day, and our character is going to be put into that balance. Though there are stories in the Bible about people who were going in a certain direction who came to a point late in their life when they decided to reverse their direction, those cares are few in number.

    “Many are quieting a troubled conscience with the thought that they can change a course of evil when they choose; that they can trifle with the invitations of mercy, and yet be again and again impressed. They think that after doing despite to the Spirit of grace, after casting their influence on the side of Satan, in a moment of terrible extremity they can change their course. But this is not so easily done. The experience, the education of a lifetime, has so thoroughly molded the character that few then desire to receive the image of Jesus.”

    The judgment is the heart of the message that God Our whole message has to do with judgment, because we are living in the end times when the judgment is taking place.

    When, in the judgment, we are weighed in God’s balances; every detail of our character will be examined. “God weighs every man in the balances of the sanctuary. In one scale is placed His perfect, unchangeable law, demanding perfect obedience. If in the other there are years of forgetfulness, of rebellion, of self-pleasing, with no repentance, no confession, no effort to do right, God says, “‘Thou art
    R
    In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2Co 4: 4)

    Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: (Eph 4: 18)
    found wanting.’”

    None of us can weigh out unless someone takes away our guilt and in its place supplies us with the righteous fulfillment of the Law. That is what the gospel is all about.

    We are living in a time when people have become unconcerned about this judgment. They believe that they can live in any way that they please and that it is sufficient to just say, “Lord, I am confessing my sins,” and their sins will be forgiven. But as we just read, if there has been no repentance and no effort to do right, God will say, “No, you are not going to weigh out.”

    “A decree went forth to slay the saints, which caused them to cry day and night for deliverance. This was the time of Jacob’s trouble. Then all the saints cried out with anguish of spirit, and were delivered by the voice of God. The 144,000 triumphed. Their faces lighted up with the glory of God. Then I was shown a company who were howling in agony.”

    WEIGHED IN BALANCE (SCALE) AND FOUND WANTING! [DAN.5:4-6] (PART TWO)

    Yesterday night, because of fatigue, I couldn't really go all the way. Remember we used Belshazzar' story that led to being WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING...and it was all because of sin.

    Sin is the transgression of the Law. When our time comes to be weighed, the Law is going to be on the other side of the balances. The Law demands perfect obedience, and therefore, if we are going to weigh out, we must be diligent and say, “Lord, help me by Your grace to get all sin out of my life now.”

    That is one of the great problem of our generation who plan to get sin out of their lives at some future time; but not now. When they don't know what tomorrow holds for them. Getting sin out of our lives is not a single day adventure... it's an entire life project. That's why there's no time to waste... we have wasted much,we can't afford to waste more.

    Reason this,“Since Christ Jesus has made such an infinite sacrifice for us, how cruel it is that we should remain indifferent. Individually, we have cost the life of the Son of God, and He desires us to walk out by living faith, believing in Him with all the heart. He would have you bring the truth of God into the inner sanctuary [that is, our hearts), to soften and subdue the soul; for when Christ Jesus is dwelling in our hearts by faith, we will love those for whom He died,who are yet to realise this.

    Suppose that the trump of God should sound tonight, who is ready to respond with gladness? How many of you would cry, “Oh, stay the chariot wheels; I am not ready”? Of how many would it be written, as it was written of Belshazzar, “Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting”? To be wanting in that day is to be wanting forever; for when Christ Jesus shall come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory, we must be all ready to be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and to be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Do you see what it means to come up to the last day and be wanting? Our only safety is in coming to Christ Jesus and ceasing from sin this moment.(most especially deliberate sin,though all sins are sin.. small or big).

    If you decide that you are going to quit some sin in your life tomorrow, you have, at the same time, decided that you are still going to do it today. Now, if you decide that you are going to sin today, can Christ Jesus be your Lord and Saviour today? No, He cannot. You have placed yourself outside of the vale of mercy; and if you should die today, you are lost.

    “It is possible to be a partial, formal believer, and yet be found wanting and lose eternal life. It is possible to practice some of the Bible injunctions and be regarded as a Christian, and yet perish because you lack qualifications essential to Christian character. If you neglect or treat with indifference the warnings that God has given, if you cherish or excuse sin, you are sealing your soul’s destiny. You will be weighed in the balance and found wanting. Grace, peace, and pardon will be forever withdrawn; Christ Jesus will have passed by, never again to come within reach of your prayers and entreaties.;

    Dear brethren,this is serious business. Are we praying every day and saying, “Lord, please fill me with Your Holy Spirit. Give me any rebuke I need, just do not take Your Holy Spirit from me”?

    THIS IS WHERE WE NEED GENUINELY BORN AGAIN PASTORS. WHY?

    I find that there are many people who have a lot of questions about counsel and believe that in whatever we do, we should follow counsel. The Bible does say that in a multitude of counsel there is safety. We do need to move in harmony with counsel, but we also need to remember that from whomsoever we are receiving counsel, it does not matter who it is, unless that person(pastor) is giving evidence that the Holy Spirit is working in their life, otherwise,we cannot depend on their counsel.
    Most counsels from our modern pastors today are of how to prosper,dream big and live out our dreams. This group of pastors are more worldly conscious than heavenly. This isn't to say that they don't preach sin, they do,at least most of them do... BUT NOT WITH THE SERIOUSNESS THAT CANCEROUS PLAGUE NEEDS...THEY SOFTEN IT, SO AS NOT TO HARDEN THEIR LISTENERS POCKETS OR POSSIBLY REDUCE THE SIZE OF THEIR HARVEST FIELD (NOT GOD'S,MIND YOU)

    Perhaps, you are already confused by these men whose counsel is erratic. But If you will come out from these men and be separate, you will be in a much better position to advance the desire of God for you. There is no safety in following the counsel of men who are not vivified by the Holy Spirit, unless they must be reformed, or. else they will be weighed in the balances of the sanctuary, and found wanting.”

    Someday, though, we do not know when, we are going to be placed in the balances. The weight of our character, when put in the balance, will be determined by the motives that caused us to act. If we do not have the love of Christ Jesus in our hearts, we may be doing the right things, but we will not weigh out.

    “God is weighing our characters, our conduct, and our motives in the balances of the sanctuary. It will be a fearful thing to be pronounced wanting in love and obedience by our Redeemer, who died upon the Cross to draw our hearts unto Him. God has bestowed upon us great and precious gifts. He has given us light and a knowledge of His will, so that we need not err or walk in darkness. To be weighed in the balance and found wanting in the day of final settlement and rewards will be a fearful thing, a terrible mistake which can never be corrected.”

    WHAT GOD DESIRES FROM US IS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE...NOT WHAT WE CAN GET FROM HIM... NO, GENUINE LOVE THAT BREEDS RESPECT, PURE ADORATION AND AFFECTION... IT'S WHY IT'S DESCRIBED AS A BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM AFFAIR. HE ALREADY KNOWS OUR DESIRES;
    But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (1Co 2: 9)

    Now read this from the Bible Book of Revelation;

    “When this church is weighed in the balance of the sanctuary, it is FOUND WANTING, HAVING LEFT ITS FIRST LOVE.

    The True Witness declares, ‘I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and has found them liars: and hast borne, and hast patience, and for My name’s sake has laboured, and hast not fainted.’ [Revelation 2:2, 3.] Notwithstanding all this, the church is found wanting. What is the fatal deficiency?

    ..Thou hast left thy FIRST LOVE.’
    Is not this our case? Our doctrines may be correct; we may hate false doctrine, and may not receive those who are not true to principle; we may labor with untiring energy; but even this is not sufficient. What is our motive? Why are we called upon to repent?—‘THOU HAST LEFT THY FIRST LOVE '

    You see, if we do not have the love of Christ Jesus in our hearts, we can be doing the right thing, but fail to weigh out. The people in the Ephesian church were not heretics. In fact, those who professed to be apostles, but whom they found were not, they cast out. Their doctrines were right and they hated error, but that is not enough. There will come a time when you will be weighed, and doctrines alone are not enough. If you do not have the love of Christ Jesus inside, you will be wanting; you will be lacking.

    “You may manifest great zeal in missionary effort, and yet because it is corrupted with selfishness, and it is nought in the sight of God; for it is a tainted, corrupted offering. Unless the door of the heart is open to Christ Jesus, unless He occupies the soul temple, unless the heart is imbued with His divine attributes, human actions when weighed in the heavenly balances, will be pronounced ‘Wanting.’”

    Dear brethren,each one of us is coming to our last day in this world, and each one of us is going to be weighed in the balances. Are we getting ready? Do we have the love of Christ Jesus inside? His meekness, His lowliness? Are we obedient to Him; do our thoughts, words, and the tone of our voices reveal that fact?
    Today,we can choose to make a covenant with the Lord and say, “Lord, I am choosing to lay aside everything that would not be in harmony with Your will; I pray that You will fill my heart and mind with Your Holy Spirit and change them,”
    Amen!

There is no safety in following the counsel of men who are not vivified by the Holy Spirit, unless they must be reformed, or. else they will be weighed in the balances of the sanctuary, and found wanting.” Someday, though, we do not know when, we are going to be placed in the balances. The weight of our character, when put in the balance, will be determined by the motives that caused us to act. If we do not have the love of Christ Jesus in our hearts, we may be doing the right things, but we will not weigh out. “God is weighing our characters, our conduct, and our motives in the balances of the sanctuary. It will be a fearful thing to be pronounced wanting in love and obedience by our Redeemer, who died upon the Cross to draw our hearts unto Him. God has bestowed upon us great and precious gifts. He has given us light and a knowledge of His will, so that we need not err or walk in darkness. To be weighed in the balance and found wanting in the day of final settlement and rewards will be a fearful thing, a terrible mistake which can never be corrected.” WHAT GOD DESIRES FROM US IS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE...NOT WHAT WE CAN GET FROM HIM... NO, GENUINE LOVE THAT BREEDS RESPECT, PURE ADORATION AND AFFECTION... IT'S WHY IT'S DESCRIBED AS A BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM AFFAIR. HE ALREADY KNOWS OUR DESIRES; But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (1Co 2: 9) Now read this from the Bible Book of Revelation; “When this church is weighed in the balance of the sanctuary, it is FOUND WANTING, HAVING LEFT ITS FIRST LOVE. The True Witness declares, ‘I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and has found them liars: and hast borne, and hast patience, and for My name’s sake has laboured, and hast not fainted.’ [Revelation 2:2, 3.] Notwithstanding all this, the church is found wanting. What is the fatal deficiency? ..Thou hast left thy FIRST LOVE.’ Is not this our case? Our doctrines may be correct; we may hate false doctrine, and may not receive those who are not true to principle; we may labor with untiring energy; but even this is not sufficient. What is our motive? Why are we called upon to repent?—‘THOU HAST LEFT THY FIRST LOVE ' You see, if we do not have the love of Christ Jesus in our hearts, we can be doing the right thing, but fail to weigh out. The people in the Ephesian church were not heretics. In fact, those who professed to be apostles, but whom they found were not, they cast out. Their doctrines were right and they hated error, but that is not enough. There will come a time when you will be weighed, and doctrines alone are not enough. If you do not have the love of Christ Jesus inside, you will be wanting; you will be lacking. “You may manifest great zeal in missionary effort, and yet because it is corrupted with selfishness, and it is nought in the sight of God; for it is a tainted, corrupted offering. Unless the door of the heart is open to Christ Jesus, unless He occupies the soul temple, unless the heart is imbued with His divine attributes, human actions when weighed in the heavenly balances, will be pronounced ‘Wanting.’” Dear brethren,each one of us is coming to our last day in this world, and each one of us is going to be weighed in the balances. Are we getting ready? Do we have the love of Christ Jesus inside? His meekness, His lowliness? Are we obedient to Him; do our thoughts, words, and the tone of our voices reveal that fact? Today,we can choose to make a covenant with the Lord and say, “Lord, I am choosing to lay aside everything that would not be in harmony with Your will; I pray that You will fill my heart and mind with Your Holy Spirit and change them,” AmenπŸ™‡πŸ™!

    PRIDE AS A DESTROYER...A CHARACTER LOATHED SO MUCH BY GOD !

    Pride as a subject is not new to anyone... believer or unbeliever alike. *I am sorry I cannot say sorry* is a product of pride.
    There's HEALTHY PRIDE, for example ;
    And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Gen 1: 31)

    And there's also UNHEALTHY PRIDE which constitutes almost the entire human race because of of its bitter originator,whose ONLY ASSIGNMENT IN LIFE,is to destroy God's Good Works,you and I being his main targets;

    13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. (Isa 14: 13-14)

    This is the reason for the wrath God displays when dealing with the worldly proud. He spares no mercy until HE brings them to their knees(you and I included).
    We have to be very careful because of satans craftiness that makes SOME OF US THAT ARE ACTUALLY PROUD TO THINK WE ARE HUMBLE. We shouldn't toy with God's Warning;

    11. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
    12. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: (Isa 2: 11-12)

    A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. (Pro 29: 23)

    But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. (Jas 4: 6)

    We should check our lives daily for traces of unhealthy pride and deal with them. THERE'S NONE HARDLY FREE OF THIS DISEASE, BUT,IF WE ARE WILLING, GOD'S WORD WILL ALWAYS CURE IT FOR US.

    Behold,some examples from the Bible.


    The pride of Lucifer cost him heaven
    The pride of Herod cost him his life
    The pride of ‘Nezzar cost him Babylon
    The pride of Moses cost him Cannan

    The pride of Peter cost him courage
    The pride of Judas cost him repentance
    The pride of disciples cost them alertness
    The pride of Israelites cost them freedom

    The pride of Goliath cost his life
    The pride of Jezebel cost her life
    Pride of Manasseh cost his freedom
    The pride of Haman destroyed him

    May God's Grace and Mercy keep us humbled, Amen !

  • THAT I MAY KNOW HIM![PHP.3:10]

    DISBELIEVING THE RAPTURE IS AKIN TO CALLING GOD'S WORD UNTRUE.
    PT.2

    Remember I told us yesterday that we aren't through with the RAPTURE subject because of the imminence of its approach going by global trends.
    And remember,I am not a theologian nor desires to be one, but certain wrongs needs to be corrected. Peter was a professional fisherman,not a theological professor, and he said ;
    20. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
    21. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. (2Pe 1: 20-21)

    In essence,we can notice errors as laymen and have God's approval to correct them by His Word. Such is the subject of RAPTURE. Many of don't believe it,and even mock the idea it exists.

    I am NOT a theologian, but if you happen to read from a Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible and come to 1 Thessalonians 4:17, you would find the word “raptus” or “rapture,” which means “to be caught up” or “to be taken up by force.” So , for true believers and those seeking for God's Undiluted Word,, it is a WORD to EXPRESS the CONCEPT that CHRIST JESUS is GOING to “SNATCH US UP "or we “shall be caught up…to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.”

    Many argue that the early church fathers did not believe in or preach or teach the rapture of the church. One of the apostate teachers devilishly sponsored to take our minds off the truthfulness of the Rapture is a man called *John Darby* who insisted that the Rapture is a modern doctrine that was started by the dispensationalists and really isn’t taught in the Bible and wasn’t taught by the church fathers either.

    Yet, it’s interesting to realize that if you read all the writings of the church fathers, they wrote about the imminent return of Christ Jesus. They weren’t looking for the Antichrist, they weren’t looking for the signs of His Second Coming; Rather, they were looking for an imminent return of Christ Jesus at any moment. That doctrine of imminency supports the doctrine of the rapture, because nothing has to happen before the Lord raptures His church to heaven. So the fact that the early church fathers did not specifically use or teach the term “rapture” is not necessarily an issue.

    Remember what we agreed upon, that the Bible is the authority, not church history. Church history is important to consult to see the doctrines of the church, but the authority lies in the Scriptures, not in the early church fathers, in modern preachers or in church trends throughout history. That’s very important to realize.

    The doctrine of the rapture is described in 1 Corinthians 15 by Paul. And in verse 51, it is known as “a mystery.” Then in Ephesians, he describes what this mystery is. It was something that was hidden in ages past or concealed but now has been revealed to the people of God. Given that truth, I don’t believe the rapture is in the Old Testament; it’s a New Testament mystery. Also the church, the body of Christ, is referred as “a great mystery.” In Ephesians 5:32, Paul said, “This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ Jesus and the church.”

    So the church and the rapture are hidden in the Old Testament, but the rapture is clearly revealed in the New Testament by our Lord and by Paul the Apostle.

    The Rapture is true,and Its imminence should be a source of concern for sitting Christians to jump up and reinforce our relationship with Christ Jesus.

    It isn't over yet...we still have a thing or two to learn about the certainty of the RAPTURE. GOD BLESS US ALL,AMEN

  • THAT I MAY KNOW HIM![PHP.3:10]

    DISBELIEVING THE RAPTURE IS AKIN TO CALLING GOD'S WORD UNTRUE. (PART ONE)

    My being imperfect like most other people doesn't give us an impetus to toy with God's Word. God alone gives us knowledge to understand the part of His Word He desires us to understand on this side of eternity. I beseech us not to take the RAPTURE LIGHTLY, just like every other of God's Word that must always comes to pass,so long He said It.

    I'm not a theologian nor desires to be one,so I'm having no business here with pre tribulation or after, but strictly the RAPTURE,though they are tied together.


    In 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Paul says, “But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede…”—or “go before”—“…those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we…”—Paul includes himself—“…who are alive and remain shall be caught up…”—there’s our word “harpodzo” or “raptured”—“…together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” Then Paul closes with, “Therefore comfort one another with these words.”

    But,a lot of us don't believe as the word,*Rapture* doesn't appear directly in the Bible. As a result,even apostle Peter was compelled to WARNED us;

    In 2 Peter 3:3-4, Peter says, “Scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep…”—or literally “died”—“…all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’”

    In other words, they were saying, “There’s no ‘coming again’( which in effect is the RAPTURE) of the Lord! It hasn’t happened yet. It won’t happen in the future.”
    They were mocking the concept or the doctrine of the return Christ Jesus. And as far as we can see and decipher, the scorners and mockers which Peter spoke about has arrived. Yet,Peter made it clear that our ever Compassionate God wants to save as many He can;

    8. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
    9. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; BUT IS LONG-SUFFERING TO us-ward, NOT WILLING that ANY should PERISH, but that ALL SHOULD come to REPENTANCE. (2Pe 3: 8-9)

    As Christians, we believe in the Incarnation, that God became a man in Christ; we believe in the Crucifixion, that Christ Jesus died on the Cross for our sins; we believe in the Resurrection, that Christ Jesus rose victoriously and bodily from the grave; we believe in the Ascension, that Christ Jesus ascended back into heaven; and we believe in the exaltation, that Christ Jesus is seated at the right hand of God the Father.

    But that’s not the end of the story; as some or all the mockers would have us believe. WE ALSO BELIEVE IN THE RETURN OF CHRIST JESUS. He is coming again. We focus so much on His BIRTH and on His DEATH and on His RESURRECTION, but we forget that He is ASCENDED, EXALTED AND WILL COME AGAIN.

    And of course the main architect of these schemes to make us disbelieve the coming back of our LORD AND SAVIOUR,is the devil,(Jn.8:44),whom has released his agents, comprising of his demons,and willing human agents,because he is the father of lies,and is seriously threatened because he knows his time is but a little while away, though we can't know the actual date or time. Seekers can only guess.

    IT'S THE ONLY TRUE EXPLANATION FOR THE INCREASE OF *SUPPOSED KNOWLEDGE,* ALL IN THE DEVIL'S BID TO DISTRACT US FROM THE GLORY THAT AWAITS TRUE BELIEVERS AND WRECK AS MUCH HAVOC IN THE LIVES OF MEN AS HE CAN BEFORE THE FINAL MOMENT...THE SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET.

    Christ Jesus promised to come again. In John 14:2-3, ChryJesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”

    I believe His promise. Christ Jesus always keeps His promises. If He promised He is preparing a place and He promised that He would come to “receive” us, I believe that’s a revelation of the rapture of the church. He said that He will take us to His “Father’s house,” and I believe His promise will be fulfilled.

    This is what we call “the rapture of the church.” It was first revealed in John 14 by our Lord Himself. Then it was revealed by Paul the Apostle as the “mystery” of the body of Christ being “caught up to meet the Lord in the air.”
    But there are some who say that the word “rapture” is not in the Bible, so they therefore argue that the doctrine of the rapture is not Biblical. I would also argue that the Bible does not have the word “Trinity” in it, but we believe in the Trinity. The word “providence” does not appear in the Bible, but we believe in the providence of God. So the fact that the word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible doesn’t mean it’s not a doctrine found in the Bible.

    Like I began with, I'm not a theologian nor desires to be one... BECAUSE,THE WORD OF GOD SUPERSEDES CHURCH HISTORY (EVEN THOUGH CHURCH HISTORY IS IMPORTANT) BUT, IT'S GOD'S WORD FIRST.

    We aren't done yet on this, I believe the Lord Himself will pilot us to it's conclusion, because many are being deceived... remember ;
    9. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; BUT IS LONG-SUFFERING TO us-ward, NOT WILLING that ANY should PERISH, but that ALL SHOULD come to REPENTANCE. (2Pe 3: 8-9)
    May His Grace and Mercy speak for us until then,Amen!

IT'S THE ONLY TRUE EXPLANATION FOR THE INCREASE OF *SUPPOSED KNOWLEDGE,* ALL IN THE DEVIL'S BID TO DISTRACT US FROM THE GLORY THAT AWAITS TRUE BELIEVERS AND WRECK AS MUCH HAVOC IN THE LIVES OF MEN AS HE CAN BEFORE THE FINAL MOMENT...THE SOUNDING OF THE TRUMPET. Christ Jesus promised to come again. In John 14:2-3, ChryJesus said, “I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.” I believe His promise. Christ Jesus always keeps His promises. If He promised He is preparing a place and He promised that He would come to “receive” us, I believe that’s a revelation of the rapture of the church. He said that He will take us to His “Father’s house,” and I believe His promise will be fulfilled. This is what we call “the rapture of the church.” It was first revealed in John 14 by our Lord Himself. Then it was revealed by Paul the Apostle as the “mystery” of the body of Christ being “caught up to meet the Lord in the air.” But there are some who say that the word “rapture” is not in the Bible, so they therefore argue that the doctrine of the rapture is not Biblical. I would also argue that the Bible does not have the word “Trinity” in it, but we believe in the Trinity. The word “providence” does not appear in the Bible, but we believe in the providence of God. So the fact that the word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible doesn’t mean it’s not a doctrine found in the Bible. Like I began with, I'm not a theologian nor desires to be one... BECAUSE,THE WORD OF GOD SUPERSEDES CHURCH HISTORY (EVEN THOUGH CHURCH HISTORY IS IMPORTANT) BUT, IT'S GOD'S WORD FIRST. We aren't done yet on this, I believe the Lord Himself will pilot us to it's conclusion, because many are being deceived... remember ; 9. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; BUT IS LONG-SUFFERING TO us-ward, NOT WILLING that ANY should PERISH, but that ALL SHOULD come to REPENTANCE. (2Pe 3: 8-9) May His Grace and Mercy speak for us until then,AmenπŸ™‡πŸ™!

  • THAT I MAY KNOW HIM![PHP.3:10]

    NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT*SIN !*(ISA.1:4 PERSPECTIVE)

    We are no longer differentiating.

    Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. (Isa 1: 4)

    WHAT IS*SIN*

    Despite many answers, James actually made it easier for us;
    Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. (Jas 4: 17)

    What is sin? We have very many answers given to this question in the modern world, but the Bible gives one: SIN IS THE BREAKING OF GOD'S LAW. SIN IS SAYING NO TO GOD, AND SAYING YES TO ONE'S OWN DESIRE.

    This rebellious spirit is nothing new in the world. It came about when the first humans, Adam and Eve, rejected God’s wisdom in place of their own. The presence of sin, as described in the Bible, is the only thing that can explain why the world is full of pain and suffering. Only God’s WORD explains why all sin against God and against one another. The world cannot repair the damage of sin; it cannot make right what humanity has done.

    The only true hope for this sinful world is found in God’s gracious sending of Christ Jesus. The whole Bible looks forward to the time when God will make everything right again in the person of His Son, Christ Jesus. Now,the question we should ask us is this,“do I believe in what God has done? Have I turned from my sin and trusted in Christ Jesus” Christ Jesus is the only One who can redeem from sin and the wrath of God.

    THIS BRIEF ANALOGY OF SIN IS BASED ON PROPHET ISAIAH'S MESSAGE TO YOU AND ME(NOT JUST ISRAEL, AFTER ALL,WE CLAIM ISRAEL BY ADOPTION)!

    The prophet Isaiah wrote to the people of Israel because they were in trouble due to their sin.(Just as us today)

    The message of the prophets and the Bible is a call to repentance and faith.
    SIN is MAN'S WRONG RELATIONSHIP AND ATTITUDE TOWARD GOD THAT LEADS TO TROUBLE.
    Isaiah calls the people (YOU AND ME),a "sinful nation" and "laden with iniquity" to show them their sin.
    Sin makes people forsake God, despise Him, and go backward to corruption.
    People think sin leads to freedom but it leads to corruption and making God an enemy.
    The world thinks it's progressing but without God it's going backward to corruption.
    Sin spreads from individuals to corrupt communities, societies, and nations.
    God still speaks to call people to repentance, faith, and salvation.

    THOUGH MAN'S SIN IS GREAT, GOD'S GRACE, LOVE, AND SALVATION ARE GREATER FOR THOSE WHO REPENT.

    Now ,are we willing to grab this UNCOMMON AND UNUSUAL OPPORTUNITY FROM A RIGHTEOUS GOD AND JUDGE WHO DOESN'T DISCRIMINATE, AS THE CLOCK TICKS TO ITS FINAL SECOND?

    I can't force you nor you me. It's Only an appeal that our chances of escape is getting narrower by the day.
    Are we yet going or continue to believe in the luciferic induced lies of unyielded scientists,belly pastors,liberal ministers,etc,ALL BECAUSE OF WHAT REBELLIOUS MAN UNDER HIS MASTER'S TUTELAGE IS DOING IN THE WORLD TO PROVE THERE'S NO OTHER HEAVEN ELSEWHERE BY THE WONDERS IN ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE(EVEN ON WHEELS),THE KNOWLEDGE THEY CLAIM TO HAVE,THAT THEY DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S GOD'S WAY OF ALLOWING THEM TO LIVE OUT THEIR ILLUSIONS;
    20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
    21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
    22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
    23. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (Rom 1: 20-24)

  • THAT I MAY KNOW HIM![PHP.3:10]

    DIFFERENTIATING SIN DOESN'T DECREASE NOR INCREASE OUR HOPE!

    I want to state again that most of us that are committed to the fight against the wrongs in church and society, aren't saints nor perfect. LIKE I'VE ALWAYS SAID ABOUT MYSELF,I MAY BE WORSE THAN YOU READING ME. The only difference perhaps is the determination to do the right thing, and also not to be a hindrance to sincere truth seekers.

    I tried to follow how I am led,and this time it's the ever popular subject of sin. But strangely enough, we are starting by separating between the main types of sin.

    The verified truth is that every sin earns death. Every sin makes the sinner guilty before God (Romans 6:23).

    However, the Bible does describe different types of sin. And theologians have divided these types of sins into involuntary and voluntary sins.

    Now,an involuntary sin is a sin that we commit because of the weakness of our flesh or because we are ignorant of a law that we are breaking. Simply put, these sins are not done deliberately.

    While,on the other hand, voluntary sin is done by those of us who know what we are doing is wrong, but we do it anyway. This type of sin is done intentionally.

    We may have to read Matthew 11:21-24; and John 19:11; on our own. But with two other scriptures we are going to establish the difference in a much simpler way:
    Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. (1Ti 1: 13)

    Here Paul agreed to his ignorance of the law that made him do what he did.

    For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, (Heb 10: 26)

    Here, Paul establish deliberate sin and its consequences. Though the scriptures make a point that ALL SINS ARE EQUAL,the same scriptures made a case for some sins easier to forgive than others.

    Involuntary sins: weakness or ignorance
    Since we all have a sinful nature, every action we take is tainted with sin. Isaiah said, “All our righteous acts are like filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). We often sin without realizing it. The psalmist says, “Who can discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults” (Psalm 19:12). Through our own weakness or ignorance of God’s law, we fall into this type of sin daily. Praise God that he rescues us by forgiving us through Jesus!

    Read Romans 7:15-25.

    Here the apostle Paul talks about how he struggled with this type of sin.

    Yet we will not be exonerated from these types without some consequences. This is because a true believer can steps to avoid sins of weakness or ignorance;
    There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (1Co 10: 13)


    But the dangers of deliberate sin is different.
    To know something is wrong and to do it anyway is dangerous, spiritually. The apostle Paul says, “If you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live” (Romans 8:13).

    In an attempt to justify sinful behavior, some will say, “God hates the sin but loves the sinner.” Unfortunately, this is a confusion of law and gospel. The law says that God hates sin and the sinner (Psalm 5:5). We need to hear this message to lead us to repentance. The gospel says that God loves the world and me because of Christ Jesus (John 3:16). We need to hear this message when the law has done its work in our heart and convicted us of sin.

    Read Psalm 32:5 and Hebrews 10:26-31.

    Thus,there is no TRUTH in “God hates the sin but loves the sinner”;
    Read also Hab.1:13

    We are coming back to talk about sin proper.

    It should be our prayer never to cross God's boundaries,Amen!

  • TOWARDS THE PERFECT MAN![JAMES 1:4]

    IF CHRIST JESUS MUST BE OUR SAVIOUR, WE MUST ALSO ALLOW HIM TO BE OUR LORD... OTHERWISE, FORGET IT.
    [PART THREE]

    I am on my knees begging those reading these messages not to grow angry,mad,or feel they have a better knowledge. Any knowledge outside the Bible is satanology.

    Remember yesterday, we agreed;
    Paul had a reason when he taught that, THAT I DON'T SET GRACE ASIDE....IN OTHER WORDS, GRACE ALONE WON'T DO IT ALL.

    Now today again, I tell us this;

    GRACE IS THE DETERMINATION, THE SUBTLE DETERMINATION IN THE HEART OF GOD, TO DO US GOOD, WE WHO DESERVED TO BE PUNISHED ETERNALLY."

    I am not writing this because I see myself as better than anyone. I MAKE BOLD TO DECLARE THAT I AM WORSE...MUCH WORSE THAN SOME READING THIS. BUT WE MUST RELY ON GOD TO GET US OUT OF OUR OWN MESS !

    BUT PLEASE,BEAR IN MIND WHY WE NEED CHRIST JESUS AS OUR LORD !

    First, why the world needs the grace of God: That is the wrath of God. Why does the world need grace? Because of the coming wrath.
    Secondly, the only way the grace of God comes to the world is through the CROSS of CHRIST JESUS.
    Third, how the world sets aside the grace of God, especially through SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS.
    Fourth,how the grace of God makes sinners righteous in HIS sight, first by justification and second through the Spirit-filled life.

    WE KNOW WHO A SAVIOUR IS. BUT ,WHO IS A LORD.

    Secularly, a lord is a man of high office or ranking...a nobleman.
    This means he is a person who has the power of authority over others, like a monarch or master. Someone every other person is BOUND to OBEY.

    It's not different when it comes to Christ Jesus, because in His Case, HE IS THE LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS...this makes it more important for us to Obey Him!
    9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
    10. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
    11. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Php 2: 9-11)

    Indeed,we should be grateful to Him that He isn't a Feudal Lord.
    Thus,very many of us think that because of Grace,we need not Obey, that as SAVIOUR,HE WILL SAVE US IN WHATEVER CONDITION...STOP BEING DECEIVED SIR.
    PAUL WROTE THE WORD *GRACE* ABOUT 86 TIMES IN THE EPISTLES,BUT BE NEVER SET ASIDE GRACE AS BEING ENOUGH;
    1. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2. God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? (Rom 6: 1-2)

    INDEED, BEFORE WE NEED CHRIST JESUS AS SAVIOUR, WE NEED HIM FIRST AS *LORD*( MY VIEW).
    Christ Jesus needs our obedience for Him to save us,for He NEVER fights a fight of blame...you can check Jude 9.

    In the raging inferno currently consuming the globe INDICATING HIS WRATH AGAINST OUR GENERATION (THE LAODECEAN CHURCH....THE LAST OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES) WE DESPERATELY NEED CHRIST JESUS' GRACE.

    Any pastor that still makes prosperity and liberty of grace the focal point of his message or sermons is not helping you.
    REMEMBER,GOD DOESN'T FIGHT A FIGHT OF BLAME. IF AFTER KNOWING THE UNDILUTED WORD OF GOD AND TASTED OF IT, BUT YET DELIBERATELY CONTINUE IN SIN, WHEN HIS WRATH DESCENDS ON THE ENTIRE...HIS GRACE WILL NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON YOU. THAT'S WHY PAUL WARNED TWICE;

    We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (2Co 6: 1)

    O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? (Gal 3: 1)


    We haven't yet ended this discourse.MY PERSONAL PAIN(MOSTLY THE BURDEN FROM OUR FATHER) has made it such a matter that every Christian brethren should take up...OUR CHURCHES ARE FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH THOSE WHO ONLY WANTS CHRIST AS SAVIOUR, BUT NOT AS LORD. LET'S SERVE HIM FIRST AS *LORD* AND WE SHALL BE SURPRISED WHAT HE WILL DO AS *SAVIOUR !*

  • TOWARDS THE PERFECT MAN![JAMES 1:4]

    THE REAL TRAGEDY IN THE CHURCH TODAY ISN'T SATAN. LET'S FIND OUT! (PT.2)


    Yesterday, our intentions are to focus on the true problem the Church of Christ Jesus is experiencing. Every committed believer would want to know. And it's not actually what we may be imagining.

    Frankly,if the it's same for you,we gotten ourselves into two groups...those of there who only want Christ Jesus as Savior but not Lord. THAT'S THE REAL PROBLEM IN THE CHURCH.

    And I promised talking o a lot about the first group and probably why they are okay crossing over like that.

    The first is that this world is facing a future raging inferno of immeasurable heat, of infinite power, and eternal duration, this coming inferno is the just wrath of God against sin. It is a fire that will destroy this entire world in judgment and will consume the enemies of God in hell. Secondly, Christ, Jesus Christ is God's only provision for escape from this coming wrath. Christ's death on the cross is the only way that sinners can be saved from this fire. Thirdly, just as those people had no way to save themselves from the raging inferno, we cannot save ourselves from the coming wrath. Our works cannot make us righteous in the sight of God.

    Oh, how the WORLD HATES and FIGHTS these THREE ASSERTIONS, all three of them. The world says, "THERE is no COMING WRATH of GOD" or "God, if HE DOES EXISTS, LOVES EVERYONE and will RESCUE EVERYONE FROM HELL, would not send anyone to hell, IT'S UNWORTHY of GOD to DISPLAY ANGER OR WRATH," those kinds of things.

    Others in te world says that Christ Jesus is not the only way to heaven and that it's ARROGANT for us as Christians to claim that HE is, that HE is the only way to heaven. Third, the world says that we actually can pay for our sins by our good works, righteousness in God's sight can be obtained by observing some kind of law or pattern of morality.

    Now, these assertions that I've made here are hated and opposed by many in the world today, but these assertions that I've made are taught powerfully in the text that we are going to be looking into....Galatians 2:21 and then Galatians 3:10-14. I kept as my jump off point, as I was meditating on this, Galatians 2:21. It's a text that captivated my mind and my imagination and my thoughts for much longer than I thought it would be. Galatians 2:21 says, "I DO NOT SET ASIDE THE GRACE OF GOD, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, THEN CHRIST JESUS DIED FOR NOTHING."

    So I concentrated on the phrase, the GRACE OF GOD, in Galatians 2:21. We're in the middle here in Galatians, of Paul's train of thought as he's explaining the Gospel of salvation through faith in Christ. The grace of God, then in Galatians 2:21, is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the GRACIOUS PROVISION on that GOD has MADE for US.

    They give me an understanding of Christ Jesus as the only SAVIOUR that there is from the wrath of God. I'm going to make three assertions in this teaching, and the world hates all three of them.
    The first is that this world is facing a future raging inferno of immeasurable heat, of infinite power, and eternal duration, this coming inferno is the just wrath of God against sin. It is a fire that will destroy this entire world in judgment and will consume the enemies of God in hell.
    Secondly, Christ, Jesus is God's only provision for escape from this coming wrath. Christ Jesus's death on the Cross is the only way that sinners can be saved from this fire.
    Thirdly, just as those people had no way to save themselves from the raging inferno,taking place all over the world, we cannot save ourselves from the coming wrath. Our works cannot make us righteous in the sight of God. Just as there was no way for those tragic incidences for the affected people to climb down to safety, there is no way for us to use the law of God to climb up to safety.

    Oh, how the world hates and fights these three assertions, all three of them. The world says, "There is no coming wrath of God" or "God, if He exists, loves everyone and will rescue everyone from hell, would not send anyone to hell, it's unworthy of God to display anger or wrath," those kinds of things. The world says that Christ is not the only way to heaven and that it's arrogant for us as Christians to claim that he is, that he is the only way to heaven. Third, the world says that we actually can pay for our sins by our good works, righteousness in God's sight can be obtained by observing some kind of law or pattern of morality.

    I meditated on what the GRACE of GOD SAVES us FROM. It saves us MAINLY from the CURSE of GOD, THE WRATH of GOD. I concentrate on the significance of Christ Jesus becoming a curse for us in Galatians 3:13. I ZEROED in on the IDEA of SETTING ASIDE the GRACE of GOD. HE SAYS, "I do not SET ASIDE the GRACE of GOD." The word 'set aside' means to nullify, to render as nothing. I just like the translation 'set aside,' I think it's the best translation. How the human race tries to avoid the CROSS of CHRIST JESUS in various ways, especially by gaining righteousness through the law. I zero in on the logic of the verse, that righteousness cannot be gained any other way. That if righteousness could be gained in some other way, THEN Christ JESUS DIED FOR NOTHING. This is the doctrine of the exclusivity of Christ and of the Gospel.

    NOW, THIS IS THE VERY TRAGEDY IN VERY MANY UNQUANTIFIABLE NUMBERS OF OUR CHURCHES TODAY.

    Leaders of these churches with a cult like followership have made SALVATION,A ONE WAY AFFAIR......accept Christ Jesus,as your Savior and He will take care of the rest... prosperity, removal of anyone you feel is blocking your way forward....AND THE MOST DANGEROUS PATH....THE LIBERTY OF DOING CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE DOING BUT THAT WE FEEL GRACE WILL TAKE OF. AND LIKE I SAID IN THE INTRODUCTION, ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED IS A PROMINENT DOCTRNE IN THIS SET OF TEACHINGS.

    Paul had a reason when he taught that, THAT I DON'T SET GRACE ASIDE....IN OTHER WORDS, GRACE ALONE WON'T DO IT ALL.

    When by His Grace and Mercy we return,WE SHALL LOOK INTO THE NECESSITY OF ACCEPTING CHRIST JESUS AS *,OUR LORD ALSO,.
    TILL THEN,MAY WE BE FILLED WITH THE PEACE AND GRACE OF GOD
