COMPROMISERS ON THE WORD OF GOD WILL HAVE THEIR SELF TO BLAME ON THE LAST DAY

COMPROMISERS ON THE WORD OF GOD WILL HAVE THEIR SELF TO BLAME ON THE LAST DAY

2 Corinthians 1:20 “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.”
James 5:12 “But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.”

According to the wordweb dictionary, compromise means:-
1. A middle way between two extremes
2. An accommodation in which both sides make concessions

Looking at the above definitions of compromise, you will discover that it has to do with making concessions or standing in-between two things. To be understood better, compromise simply means give and take. In the world system, it is often said that ‘if you cannot beat them, join them’, meaning you should blend with them and never prove to be different. This is a clear case of compromise as this will certainly rob you of your integrity and uprightness when you decide to dance to the tune of the music as played by the world. But in the Christian circle, we are warned never to involve in compromise declaring that a man that swear to his own hurt and turning not away is the man that will ascend the hill of GOD. “LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. HE THAT SWEARETH TO HIS OWN HURT, AND CHANGETH NOT. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.” Psalms 15:1-5.  In fact the Bible further warned us not to join the multitude to do evil. “Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment” Exodus 23:2. Following the multitude which means to compromise almost rock the salvation sheep of David until he retracted his steps. Psalms 42:4 “When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.” Choose to be separate and different from the world even if you are a one-man soldier and you will surely not lose your reward in heaven. 2 Corinthians 6:17 “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”

The Almighty GOD has set a standard before us to follow in order to win and gain heaven. This standard as strict and tough it appears can never be bend or soften to favour any particular individual or group of persons. The same word of GOD will be used to judge every human being on the surface of the whole earth John 12:48, which has no respect to race, religion, creed, ethnicity, status, position, rank, achievements, colour, country or continent. GOD is a respecter of no one neither does His word (the HOLY BIBLE) has respect of persons too. Acts 10:34 “Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.”

Therefore, as countries and institutions have governing laws and policy put in place to checkmate violators and bring them to justice, the HOLY BIBLE is the supreme constitution for gaining heaven. If you therefore desire of making heaven in the rapture or at your death, you MUST as a matter of priority follows its lay down rules and order. You MUST obey the LORD whether it is convenient or not convenient.  Adding and subtracting from the original standard of the Bible is a compromise and this will certain take your place out of heaven or add to your eternal punishment you will face after your physical death on earth. Revelation 22:18 “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”

In Psalms 19:7, the Bible declared “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.” The perfect LAW of GOD (the BIBLE) is capable of converting the soul if you yield to its requirements and regulations. Twisting the word of GOD to favour and satisfy your carnal lifestyles and appeal to your inordinate emotions is compromise. You must realise that you don’t live nor die to yourself Romans 14:7, which should ordinarily spark the fear of GOD in your life never to compromise on the word of GOD.

When Abraham was told by GOD to circumcise his foreskin as the token of the covenant between him and GOD, Abraham never argued with GOD by listing options for him. Even though it was the very first time that such a practice will be carried out since the creation of the world, Abraham though an old man by then yielded to the HARSH demands of GOD. He accepted the pains and agony of cutting the foreskin, a thing he would have objected if he was to use his carnal reasoning. And today, Abraham becomes the father of faith for simply foolishly obeying the dictates of GOD which were very contrary to his belief and initial practice as a human being. Today, men are singing ‘Abraham blessings are mine’ but they are never willing to be obedient to the commandments of GOD as Abraham did. Genesis 17:10 “This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. 11 And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.”

Therefore, I have come across a lot of things and Christians in confusion regarding some practices and belief. Why some used revelations and divine encounters to measure their obedience on the word of GOD, others simply write them off arguing that these things are burdens on the Christians today and never a requirement for making heaven. Well, whether revelation or no revelation, the foundation of GOD “standeth sure and GOD knows those that are His” 2 Timothy 2:19. Irrespective of your position to see word-to-word in the Bible condemning some practices in the body of CHRIST today, and of course you will never see it written in black and white, your conscience is with you that often tells you your wrong doings even as stacked wicked sinners without the knowledge of CHRIST at all. This therefore makes you to be inexcusable before GOD today despite the belief and practice you held Romans 2:1.

As men are arguing that you should show them from the Bible were some sort of things were condemned or approved before they will believe and adhere to it including sexual positions between married couples, I want to point out that despite the numerous scriptural references condemning some practices as seen today even the church, men have chosen to rather pleased themselves rather than GOD thereby wilfully disobeying the word of GOD 2 Timothy 3:1-5. This is often seen as Christians today are claiming allegiance to GRACE and rejecting other requirements by GOD for our salvation. In fact to some Christians, the Old Testament is no longer of importance today. Only the New Testament suffices for all. And yet the Bible says “ALL SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Here the Bible lays emphasis on ‘ALL’ bringing the Old and the New Testaments together. Again the Bible declared “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” Matthew 5:18. This JESUS CHRIST was using to bring to our notice that as far the Bible is concerned, they remain the infallible word of GOD which abides forever, hence Psalms 119:89 declared “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.”

Compromisers on the word of GOD, you people do not really know the danger you are playing with. The Bible in Psalms 138:2 declared “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: FOR THOU HAST MAGNIFIED THY WORD ABOVE ALL THY NAME.” As fearful is the names of the LORD stands, yet He GOD magnified His WORD above all His name. No wonder GOD said in Isaiah 55:10-11 when He declared “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOETH FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT RETURN UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT.” I do honestly know that because you lack the fear of GOD, which is why you are compromising on His word as if GOD have now changed or repented just like humans. However the Bible says “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19. So all the word of GOD are pure and holy because it was only HOLY MEN that were inspired by HOLY SPIRIT that put the word into writing 2 Peter 2:19-21. Man, are you not afraid of GOD? Why do you want to go hell fire as a result of your compromise on the word of GOD?

Now, as many as looking for word-to-word reference in the Bible before they will accept the true holiness of the word of GOD are compromisers, and compromisers have no eternal life abiding in them. So it is your choice. 1 Corinthians 5:6 “Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?”

SEXUAL POSITION IN MARRIAGE
A lot of people are confused today regarding sexual positions between married couples especially in the Christendom. While a lot of people argue that irrespective of the position you and your spouse decided to take during sexual intercourse that such things have no eternal consequences. Others simply argue that missionary style is the only approved sexual position between married couples, a fact that most people aligned to divine revelation. Well although there’s no stated sexual position in the Bible, but common sense should teach you that man lying on top of the woman during sexual intercourse is the most convenient and idea way for intimacy. You that claim that sex is for pleasure only shows your lack of the purpose of GOD for marriage. Marriage is not for pleasure and therefore sex is not for pleasure either. In 1 Corinthians 11:9, the Bible declared “Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.” This clearly shows the woman was created to be under the authority of the man and in so doing, whenever the man climbs on top of the woman for sexual intercourse, the woman is submitting under the authority of the man. If a woman therefore climbs the man, it means the woman is usurping the authority of the man over the man and this practice will not be accommodated by GOD.
Also in Ephesians 5:22 & 23, the Bible says “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.” The husband being the head of the wife means the husband ought to be on top of the wife because the head is top of the body. Therefore irrespective of the angle you want to look at it, all these styles that you people copied from pornographic films and materials and executes in your matrimony are sins and wickedness. The world is supposed to copy the true Christians in everything including sexual position during intercourse and not the other way round. If you are therefore involved in wicked styles during your sexual intercourse with your wife/husband in the name of pleasure, please stop it now. Dogs, goats, fowl and all other animals have not changed their sexual positions since creation, why should man that was created in the image of GOD do so? Genesis 1:27. Paul says “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: ALL THINGS ARE LAWFUL FOR ME, BUT I WILL NOT BE BROUGHT UNDER THE POWER OF ANY.” 1 Corinthians 6:12. The choice is yours but as for me, I will always be on top of my wife during sexual intercourse and both of us are contented.

WOMEN WEARING TROUSERS
As most people argued that until they see word-to-word reference in the Bible that they will never accept the truth, this issue of women wearing trousers is one area they support wholeheartedly. Even though the word ‘trouser’ was never used in Deuteronomy 22:5, but with the practical design of the trouser and the position of the urinary organ embedded in humans by GOD, it is acceptably concluded that trousers was never meant for women but for men. And you that justifies its usage by women today simply because the word trouser was not used, you will have GOD to contend with on the judgment day because you think that you are now wiser than GOD. Beware! Deuteronomy 22:5 “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”

THE USE OF WEDDING RING
This erroneous practice have taken over the churches of today even as practitioners have no biblical backing whatsoever that accommodates this practice during wedlock. As you are looking for word-to-word reference in the Bible before you will accept the truth, what scriptural backing do you have for using rings to wed people in your church? Even our LORD JESUS CHRIST that was invited to a wedding feast in John 2:1-11, nothing of ‘ring’ was mentioned at all. No ‘ring’ or ‘wedding ring’ was also mentioned when the man in Matthew 22:1-13 organised a wedding for his son in the parable of JESUS CHRIST. So, where do you claim the origin of wedding rings from? From the Bible, or the world?

LESBIANISM AND HOMOSEXUALITY
Even as the Bible condemned these immoral and wicked practices, are men not doing it today? So, if men can rebel against the written word of GOD, is it the unwritten and unseen word they will obey? Romans 1:26 “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”

THE USE OF JEWELRIES (Earrings, bangles, bracelets, neck chains, nose rings, etc)
The Bible strongly condemned its uses because they are ‘strange gods’ on the users, but do people have regards to the word in this direction these days? Genesis 35:4 “And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.” Even when the furiusness of GOD was visiting the Israelites, He commanded them to ‘take off’ these jewelries from their body lest they will be consumed. Are people not fashioning themselves with it today even in the house of GOD? Exodus 33:5 “For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: THEREFORE NOW PUT OFF THY ORNAMENTS FROM THEE, that I may know what to do unto thee. 6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.”

PAINTING OF THE BODY (MAKE UP)
The Bible says “in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life” Jeremiah 4:30. Has this practice of Jezebel not taken over the church today even though the Bible condemned it?

STEALING
When the Bible says “Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.” Ephesians 4:28. Are there still people stealing today? But didn’t the Bible condemn it too? In fact, “Thou shalt NOT steal” says the commandment of GOD Exodus 20:15.

If you therefore claimed that most of the things some Christians are saying will take people to hell today will actually never take anyone to hell, then masturbation, smoking, hard drug pushing, 419ning, pickpocket, impersonation, forgery and other wicked practices today should never be condemned, in fact they should be encouraged since there’s no direct word-to-word reference in the Bible that condemned them.
Compromisers, YOU WILL SURELY HAVE YOURSELVES TO BLAME ON THE LAST DAY.


Shalom!

THE FOOLISHNESS IN THE PURSUIT OF WEALTH AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR SOUL

THE FOOLISHNESS IN THE PURSUIT OF WEALTH AT THE EXPENSE OF YOUR SOUL

Matthew 19:16 "And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 BUT WHEN THE YOUNG MAN HEARD THAT SAYING, HE WENT AWAY SORROWFUL: FOR HE HAD GREAT POSSESSIONS.
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Money, the Bible says "answereth all things" Ecclesiastes 10:19, and that it is "GOD that giveth power to get wealth" Deuteronomy 8:18. 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, EVEN AS THY SOUL PROSPERETH." The prosperity of the soul which far outweighs the physical prosperity of the possession of wealth and living in affluence have been misunderstood and misinterpreted today in the body of CHRIST, as more emphasis and hammering on bountiful giving to secure a place among the wealthy in the society is the order of the day in today's church. In fact, Philippians 4:19 which reads "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus" have become one of the most popular scriptures today because it carries the message of abundant prosperity by GOD when you give to the work of GOD, especially to pastors which they usually seats on to spin money out of their member's vault using various tricks and techniques.

They say 'money move the world around' which means you can certainly do nothing without money. As true as this term may sound, you must however remember that even if you succeeded in acquiring the whole world and become the richest man on the surface of the earth in the Guinness book of record, you must equally bear it in mind that "naked you came into this world and naked you will surely return" Job 1:21. Hence the Bible asked: "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26. Prosperity without the CROSS is a waste and such possessor will land in hell fire at his/her death despite giving to the poor around him, for salvation is not of works but by grace lest anyone should boast Ephesians 2:8-9. If you want to therefore secure a place of eternity in the kingdom of GOD, ensure that you have repented of your sins and have surrendered your life to JESUS CHRIST, and living a true holy and righteous life that pleases the LORD. Hebrews 12:14 "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord."

When the rich young man was told by JESUS CHRIST to go and sell all that he had and come and follow Him for a better possession in heaven where there's no thieves, nor moth nor rust exist Matthew 6:20, he went away sorrowfully because of his stupendous wealth which he was not ready to give up for heaven. This is the state of many rich people today in the world, who are not ready to deny themselves of any worldly pleasure but they want to go to heaven. They will rather choose their wealth at the expense of their own souls. What a pity!

In Matthew 6:33, the Bible says "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Instead of men today going after the primary thing in life which is to seek and find the kingdom of GOD in righteousness, they are rather going after the secondary which is the acquisition of wealth and other things that they so desired, forgetting that once you've gained the kingdom of GOD in righteousness, all other things will come as additional and you will certainly lack nothing good in this life as long as you do always the things that pleases the LORD.

In today's world, men go into occultism, armed robbery, kidnapping, contract inflation, public embezzlement, prostitution, falsification of records and documents, political thuggery, ritual killings, bearing false witness, subverting justice, impersonation, betting, gambling, gaming, shady deals, hard drug pusher, suicide missions, and all forms of evil and wicked practices, all in the name of making money. Dear friend, this money you are killing yourself to make will never satisfy your appetite and cravings for wealth no matter how much you may have it. Why do you want to lose your soul to hell fire all because of money?

1 Timothy 6:9 "But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.  6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." Do you want your soul to be drawn away from snare, destruction and perdition in hell fire? Then, stop the love of money and choose to be contented with what you have. You will surely save your soul in so doing.

With the level of interest being put up to the acquisition of wealth by men, if such amount of interest is dedicated to the pursuit of heaven by men today through holiness and righteousness, hell fire wouldn't have enlarged herself. "Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it." Isaiah 5:14.

Why not call on the LORD JESUS CHRIST right now to have mercy on your soul and forgive your sins in trading your soul for the acquisition of earthly wealth, and He will forgive your sins. Remember, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION." Romans 10:10.

GOD bless you all readers in JESUS NAME. AMEN.

Shalom!

THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IS SET TO SAVE MORE SOULS FROM THE DAMNATION IN HELL FIRE THROUGH BRINGING THE DEAD TO LIFE EXPERIENCES

THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IS SET TO SAVE MORE SOULS FROM THE DAMNATION IN HELL FIRE THROUGH BRINGING THE DEAD TO LIFE EXPERIENCES

Luke 16:19 "There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."

In the business of saving the souls of the damned by reason of their allegiance to Satan and his works, the Almighty GOD can devised any means/method to achieving this feat including bringing people back from death to speak to the hardened hearts of men who are pleasuring themselves to the damnation in hell fire, with practical and biblical proof divine encounters. This you must understand that despite many people doubting the reality of such divine encounters especially when you consider Hebrews 9:27 which clearly states that "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment", this does not however rule out the almightiness of GOD to bring people from death to life to testify of the realities of heaven and hell fire to mortal men, as indeed, "For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE" Luke 1:37 as the angel Gabriel declared unto Mary the working possibilities of GOD to cause a woman to be pregnant without the sperm of a man.

Now as mere mortal men have been doubting and discrediting the reality and possibility of the dead to come back to life by the power of GOD which on the long run is limiting the unlimited power of GOD, the Bible then asked if any man has been GOD'S counsellor, let alone knowing the mind of GOD, after declaring how UNSEARCHABLE is the WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, JUDGMENT and WAYS of GOD. "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen." Romans 11:33-36. Man, GOD is still GOD and He does not need your inputs before taking any decision He so desired.

From the foregoing therefore, remember that the uttermost desire of GOD is that no human being on the surface of the earth should perish, but that they should be saved and have eternal life through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Hence GOD saved you and send you into the world to preach the Gospel to every creature Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8, and also placed you in the ministry of reconciliation to reconcile the world to Himself after reconciling you to Himself through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. 2 Corinthians 5:18 "And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation." Are you ready to be used by GOD to bring the sinners from the damnation in hell fire to the kingdom of GOD through the knowledge of JESUS CHRIST? Or you are very comfortable seeing millions of souls trooping to hell fire daily with their careless and godless lifestyles.

So, father Abraham never told the rich man in hell fire that it was IMPOSSIBLE for GOD to raise anyone from the dead to testify about the realities in the after death, but he simply pointed to the rich man that even though GOD will go the extra mile to bring the message of salvation to mankind by raising someone from the dead, those who have made up their minds never to believe will NEVER BELIEVE despite such a miracle. And today, how many people actually believed the testimony of the privileged few so far in our midst? Even the church has become their number one enemies right now. May GOD have mercy on us.
Luke 16:27 "Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."

Therefore, don't conclude that it is impossible for GOD to raise people from the dead to preach the Gospel of salvation to mankind today, because He is actually set to use this medium more often in this end time to rescue the few who will be willing to go with Him in the imminent rapture or at their death.

Don't be a stumbling block to any body's salvation, but rather be aligned with GOD to rescue men from the damnation in hell fire.

Shalom!

A Holiness Is Easily Identified But Very Difficult To Find As I Visited Divine Favour Christian Evangelical Ministries Inc., Benin City

A Holiness Is Easily Identified But Very Difficult To Find As I Visited Divine Favour Christian Evangelical Ministries Inc., Benin City

Ephesians 5:27 “That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.”
Ephesians 1:4 “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.”
Colossians 1:21 “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight.”
2 Corinthians 11:2 “For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.”
Song of Solomon 4:7 “Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.”

As we await the soon return of the Master JESUS CHRIST from heaven to rapture His church, you should remember that the office or position you occupied in the local church does not qualify you “for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus CHRIST Titus 2:13. Your membership of a local church assembly nor the role(s) you are playing in such a gathering qualifies you for heaven either. GOD is a holy GOD and He is coming for a holy church (individual) without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. Therefore if you are dreaming of spending your eternity with JESUS in heaven, you must look beyond your church activities and maintain TOTAL LIFE OF TRUTH, HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS in all your doings, otherwise it is a fruitless service you are rendering though there may be evidence of the divine power of GOD in your ministry.

In Luke 12:47, the Bible says “And that servant (that supposed Christian), which knew his lord's will (who knows what the LORD demands for making heaven), and prepared not himself (become indifferent to the world), neither did according to his will (nor obeyed the word of GOD), shall be beaten with many stripes (shall receive greater punishment from demons in hell fire). 48 But he that knew not (that unbeliever and wicked sinner in the world today), and did commit things worthy of stripes (who are already condemned to hell fire as a result of their works), shall be beaten with few stripes (shall receive lesser punishment from demons in hell fire). For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” In the light of the above scriptures, many complacent Christians today who think that by reason of their being used of GOD have been qualified for heaven but still have stains in the garment of righteousness shall be disappointed when they will hear the voice of the Master telling them “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” Matthew 7:23. You can see that GOD is not moved with your awesome divine abilities, but He is moved with a soul that worships Him in spirit and in truth for He is looking out for such a worshipper John 4:23-24.

Therefore as I stepped into the hall of worship of Divine Favour Christian Evangelical Ministries Inc., Aduwawa, Benin City, Edo State, on Sunday, 12th April, 2015, which is pastored by Evangelist Margaret Amure, where I went to fellowship with the brethren, I saw a church environment conducive of the HOLY SPIRIT inhabitation. The modesty of the brethren especially those of the choristers caught my attention, which were dressed with long skirts covering to their heels. In fact, it was a remarkable departure of what obtained in our supposed holiness churches today, where members and particularly choristers in the altar usually dressed in miniskirts while sitting in their stands thereby tempting the men in the congregation with their exposed body parts especially their thighs which they deliberately do for seduction because their pastors are enjoying and filling their hearts with those horrible scenes. Wondered why there is no difference in the dressing of a supposed believer and a confirmed prostitute today?

Stepping into this church no doubt will cause you to discover a true holiness preaching and practising church. Apart from the three women who were new comers that was visibly different from their dressing compared to the other women in the church, everyone here maintains true holiness in their modest apparel. No wonder Evangelist Margaret Amure, who has been a worldly pastor for over 20 years before her divine and GOD saving grace encounter in 2012, and having experienced the horrors that awaits sinner Christians in hell fire at their death, does not pamper her remaining members with sweet coated messages. A look into the auditorium tells that many members abandoned her and left for other churches where their worldly pleasures and appetites are oiled, as she turned into a no nonsense and true holiness preacher after her encounter. Parked empty chairs in the back space of the auditorium leads credence to this assumption of mine. Look out for the video titled ‘Back From Heaven With A Message’ By Evangelist Margaret Amure and bless your soul with it.

In her message titled ‘My Wedding Garment’, Evangelist Mrs. Amure was raw in her sermon. In fact, she will sometimes asked the brethren ‘Do you want me to kneel down for you?’ as she ministered the word of GOD with all boldness and courage. It is my prayer that she will never run in vain in JESUS name. Amen.

This post is not to elevate nor promote her church, but a pointer to the fact that “many are indeed called, but only few are chosen” Matthew 22:14 of GOD and she is one of the chosen few gladdening the heart of GOD with her undiluted message of total and complete truth of the gospel. Her heaven and hell fire encounter have transformed her and her ministry into a prepared bride for the uncompromising BRIDEGROOM, our LORD JESUS CHRIST who will soon return for His faithful bride.

Therefore, a true holiness and righteousness church is easily identified but very difficult to find in today’s world because the god of this wicked world is now the presiding and resident pastor of majority of churches on earth. So, when JESUS will come for His bride in the rapture, will your garment be pure and white or stained with sin? Remember, nothing defied will ever enter through the holiness gate of heaven into paradise Revelation 21:27.

We are commanded. “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:15-16.


Shalom.

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE

Numbers 11:29 "And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"

The office of a prophet is ordained by GOD. 1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues." Hence the Bible says we should not despise prophesyings 1 Thessalonians 5:20. However, a prophet must speak according to the utterances given to him by the HOLY SPIRIT. He must not mistaken his own thoughts as the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT in regards to making claims and even boasting of such claims because if it fails to come to pass, then GOD was never involved in the first place.

Deuteronomy 18:18 "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. 20 But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. 21 And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? 22 When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

Jeremiah 23:16 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. 18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it? 21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. 25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. 28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. 30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. 32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. 33 And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD. 34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house."

In Matthew 19:26, the scripture reads "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Here, it was clearly stated by JESUS CHRIST that ALL THINGS are possible with GOD.

Also, in Luke 1:37, the angel Gabriel affirmed unto Mary declaring "For with God nothing shall be impossible." NOTHING shall be impossible means nothing shall be impossible for GOD to do.

However, when it comes to Hebrews 6:18, the Bible said one thing is impossible with GOD and that is, GOD can never LIE. The scripture reads "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us."

Prior to the just concluded Nigerian Presidential elections, a lot of Christians became #prophets overnight, declaring how the Almighty GOD had told them that He has anointed the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan to win the elections. In fact, some of them boasted and declared that if Goodluck Jonathan failed to win the election, then it was not GOD that spoke to them. This they were saying with their perceived hearing from GOD that it was a foreclosed issue as far as the 2015 presidential elections were concerned.

Now that the table has turned against their supposed 'GOD told me' prophecy and General Buhari declared winner of the elections by INEC, against their firmed boasting that GOD told them so, would these brethren that turned prophets overnight truly say that they heard from the True Almighty GOD regarding the election results favouring Jonathan?

Remember, let all men be liars but GOD remained truthful. Romans 3:4 "God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged."

If at all you must boasts, boasts in the LORD and in the power of His might, and not speaking your mind based on your favoured candidate and thereby turned it into 'GOD TOLD ME'. Psalms 34:2 "My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad."

For your information, GOD is NOT A POLITICIAN and would never dabbles into the politics of men as any power that be is of GOD, whether those held by Christians, Moslems, and others and He give it to whomsoever He will. Colossians 1:16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him."

GOD bless you all.
Happy Easter Sunday.

Shalom!
