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, 12^th 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!

Praying Your Desires To Reality

PRAYING YOUR DESIRES INTO REALITY

Mark 11:12 “And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

Prayer is the integral part of the Christian fellow that sustains his existence on earth, in total reliance on the power of GOD Almighty to keep him throughout his missionary and pilgrimage journey on the earth. Prayer is the food that nourishes the Christian which bring about his spiritual maturity and growth in exercising the divine nature and ability of GOD in the realm of the spirit. Without prayers, no true Christian and follower of JESUS CHRIST will succeed nor prevail over the forces of darkness in this wicked world Matthew 26:41. Hence the Bible says “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” 1 Corinthians 10:3-6.

As the physical body cannot live nor survived without physical food, so the spirit of the true Christian cannot live nor survive without prayer which is the spiritual food that propels his growth with studying the word.  1 Peter 2:2 “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”  Therefore when you cultivate the acts of prayers, you will discover that nothing is actually impossible before you because prayer is faith Matthew 21:21. Faith is believing that all your petition presented to GOD in prayers will be given answers when they are prayed aright without vain repetition nor asking amiss Hebrews 11:1. James 4:2 “Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.”

The earthly ministry of JESUS CHRIST was hugely successful as it was built around prayers. Before embarking on His earthly ministry when He came in the flesh, He underwent a forty (40) days of fasting and prayers which helped Him to overcome the temptations that Satan presented to Him just shortly after the conclusion of that spiritual exercise Matthew 4:1-11. The Bible likewise gave account of JESUS CHRIST rising up a great while before the day’s activities to soak Himself into prayers so that His ministration for each day would record successes, and to the glory of GOD, His ministry was successfully run when He was on earth because he never neglected the place prayers. Mark 1:35 “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”

Prayer is NOT an automatic ability in the Christian life. It is a habit that thrives effectively when developed and given proper attention without any divided approach or mind-set. This is the reason that the disciples of JESUS CHRIST were all prayerless fellow when they were appointed by the LORD JESUS to be His followers. One day, they confronted their Master that there was something amiss in their lives because they saw the disciples of john the Baptist praying, a thing that they themselves don’t know nor do as disciples of the LORD himself, hence they asked their master “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” Luke 11:1. This then led JESUS to teach them ‘how’ to pray. Matthew 6:9 “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”

You must be taught how to pray as a new convert to Christianity because GOD only hears one form of prayer – a prayer prayed out of a ‘pure heart’ 2 Timothy 2:22. We must not confuse ourselves with all kinds of prayers prayed today in the church by all kinds of people with dangerous attitudes and behavioural lifestyles to guess that GOD is hearing all of such prayers as prayed. No, GOD is a holy GOD 1 Peter 1:16, and He can only hear and identify with the prayers of holy believers because the prayers of saints (holy brethren) are delight unto GOD, why the sacrifice of sinners are abomination to the LORD. Proverbs 15:8 “The sacrifice (prayers) of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.”  In fact, as holy and righteous believers lift up their voices to GOD in prayers around the world, it usually ascends into heaven as incense. Psalms 141:2 “Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”

If there was anybody that needed not to pray, it was JESUS CHRIST because He is GOD John 1:1. But despite being GOD who was in human flesh in the world, he prayed unto Him that was able to save Him. His last moments on earth were dedicated to prayers hence He was able to bear all the wickedness of man against Him the moment He was arrested shortly after intensed prayers to GOD. This teaches us that despite our commitment to prayers, oppositions will still mount on our way but one thing is certain; victory is sure if we ‘faint not’ Galatians 6:9. Are you ready to pray? There is a GOD that heareth and answereth prayers. Hebrews 5:5 “So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 7 WHO IN THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, WHEN HE HAD OFFERED UP PRAYERS AND SUPPLICATIONS WITH STRONG CRYING AND TEARS UNTO HIM THAT WAS ABLE TO SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, AND WAS HEARD IN THAT HE FEARED; 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.”

From the foregoing therefore, there are lots of supposed Christians today, though some are praying amiss and others using vain repetitions which often stalls their prayers, some however are merely ‘wishing’ and never praying. Wish is not prayer. You have to pray your desire into reality hence the word ‘PUSH’ that is often used to mean prayer – Pray until something happen. Brethren, a woman at travail in the cause of delivering her unborn child must PUSH until the baby is delivered. Why then does it appear extremely difficult that at the verge of joy and happiness, intense pains, discomfort and groanings always precede? It is because nothing good comes easy. It is because the darkest part of the night is towards the dawn. It is because no pain, no gain. When you therefore desire anything in this life to be accomplish as a Christian, win and receive the crown at the place of prayer. Hence it is often said, ‘a prayerless Christian is a POWERLESS Christian’, while ‘a PRAYERFUL Christian is a powerful Christian’, and this is nothing but the truth.

Romans 8:26 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

Because prayers are not automatic in the Christian faith as we have to learn how to pray, as you grow in the things of the LORD, the HOLY SPIRIT will also become your teacher both in ministry and in prayers. This often is the outcome of the intercessory prayer points and requests you do present as the HOLY SPIRIT lays them in your heart. When JESUS said we should not think on what to say when we are brought before the council, He was teaching us that the HOLY SPIRIT will put the word to say in our mouths at the appropriate time when we have developed that strong bond, relationship and fellowship with Him (HOLY SPIRIT). Matthew 10:19 “But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.”

Prayer is the master key to unlock every locked situations and things in the spiritual realm and bringing them to physical manifestation. The intensity and consistency of Daniel in prayer saw him getting his desires delivered to him after it has been withheld by demonic forces in the realm of the spirit for twenty one days Daniel 10:10-14. The warfare that the true Christian is involved in the spiritual realm has prayers as ‘THE SHIELD OF FAITH that QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED’ Ephesians 6:16. We do sing this song:

Prayer is the key

Prayer is the key

Prayer is the master key

JESUS started with prayer and ended with prayer

Prayer is the master key

If you therefore know the efficacy of the power of true and sincere believers in prayers, you will never joke with prayers in your Christian ministry. We must however understand that apart from vain repetition and asking amiss that stalls our prayers from being answered by GOD, we must equally know that putting people and holding them up in our mind without forgiving their trespass against us is the most deadliest prayer killer. Friend, you must free your mind from all grudge and evil thought if at all your prayer will be answered by GOD. We must not allow the pain and injury melted to us by our fellow human being to become the basis of our prayers. Our ability to forgive others will also propel GOD to forgive us our own sins when we stand in the place of prayer.

Mark 11:25 “And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.”

Stephen was praying when he was being stoned to death. In that agonising situation he found himself in the midst of his killers, he still prayed “Lord, lay not this sin to their charge” and shortly after those words, Stephen died Acts 7:60. Stephen was just following the footsteps of our LORD and Master, JESUS CHRIST, who has passed that same wicked treatment in the hands of the same people He abandoned His glory in heaven and come to this earth in other to save them from their sin. He cried on the cross “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” Luke 23:34. All the apostles of the LORD died devastating deaths in the hands of their persecutors, but none of them ever prayed that the ground should open and shallow their enemies, which is at variance with the saints of today who in their place of prayers bring their supposed and imagined enemies before the altar of GOD and slay them. Is this the teaching of JESUS CHRIST in handling our enemies in the place of prayer? Surely GOD will not hear nor answered such ‘selfish and wicked’ prayer request. Matthew 5:44 “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.”

As you cultivate the acts and habits of prayerfulness in your Christian ministry and work with GOD, may the grace of GOD be made available unto you, so that we will not damn ourselves in the place of prayers in JESUS name. Amen.

Moreover, we must equally know that any form of prayer said and prayed outside JESUS CHRIST is an exercise in futility. No matter how ‘religious’ those forms or types of prayer may appear, they are never made unto the GOD that created the heaven the heaven and earth. Only the name of JESUS CHRIST every knees bows to. So if you are praying unto any other thing outside, you are surely wasting your time and energy for nothing because just as Baal refused to hear his 450 prophets in 1 Kings 18:19-29, you as well will never be heard when praying to a dead god. Surrender your life to JESUS CHRIST today and only then will your prayers become effective and your desires will be accomplish. Philippians 2:9 “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.”

Every shackles of prayerlessness in your Christian life and ministry, I command, break in the name of name of JESUS CHRIST. Become effective and effectual in your Christian life and ministry in JESUS name. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom!

Divorcement: Man In Contention Against The Will Of GOD

DIVORCEMENT: MAN IN CONTENTION AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD

Matthew 19:3-12

3 “The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

An adage in my place of birth says ‘if a woman does not marry two husbands, she won’t know which one is better’. This adage is not only ungodly but a direct confrontation against the word of GOD as far as marriage is concerned. GOD ordained marriage to be one man and one woman, hence the first institution He made was between Adam - singular, and Eve – singular Genesis 1:27; 2:20-25.

When JESUS declared that “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, EXCEPT IT BE FOR FORNICATION, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery” Matthew 19:9, He was correcting the erroneous practices and beliefs held earlier that once two people are sexually connected together without parental consent, that they were married. No, this was never a marriage but a practice of sin partners in sexual relationship called ‘fornication’. There’s never a marriage in such a case and therefore when these two sin partners part ways, they have not sin against the will of GOD. If fact, they have made the best decision of their lives and they will now be in a better position to truly repent and amend their ways because no fornicator has eternal life in him/her. 1 Corinthians 6:9 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: NEITHER FORNICATORS, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

Therefore, if you are involved in sexual relationship when you are not LEGALLY married, please repent and stop it now because you have used it to shut the door of the kingdom of GOD against you. The body, the Bible says is for the LORD and not for fornication. “Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body” 1 Corinthians 6:13.

But today, you see people happily divorcing their married partners even among supposed Christians and they will be excited in doing so. Even the law courts are today annulling and dissolving marriages at will just because the two married couples says they can no longer lived together. Here, do people actually know the implications of what they are doing?

And doing so, you see them jumping again into another supposed marriage when the word CLEARLY states that whoever married a divorced fellow is an adulterer. No adulterer has eternal life in him/her. You should repent now and plead unto GOD for mercy if you are in this condition. 1 Corinthians 6:9 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, NOR ADULTERERS, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” Exodus 20:14 "Thou shalt not commit adultery."

My concern is the fact that the Almighty GOD kicked against divorcement and warned that “WHAT THEREFORE GOD HATH JOINED TOGETHER, LET NOT MAN PUT ASUNDER” Matthew 19:6b. When people now take pride to annul the marriage that was constituted legally, are they not putting asunder what GOD had joined together?

Therefore, if your marriage is in disarray and heading towards the rock, please pray, seek the face of GOD and most importantly, invite JESUS our burden bearer into your marriage and the storm will cease.

Remember He said “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.

Come unto JESUS CHRIST now and your marriage shall be whole again.

GOD bless you and heal your marriage from any form of challenge right now in JESUS name. Amen. Smile, JESUS loves you.

Shalom!

Cooperating With Satan To Commit Sin Against GOD

COOPERATING WITH SATAN TO COMMIT SIN AGAINST GOD?

Hebrews 12:1 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.”

I dedicate this message to GOD the FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT.
I pray it shall liberate the souls of men from the cage of fear for disappointment, rejection and death that the devil has used to tie your soul to hell in JESUS name. Amen. Today, you shall be set free by the word of truth in JESUS name. Amen. Glory be to GOD in the Highest. Hallelujah!

“If you have nothing worth dying for in life; you are not worthy to live” – Pastor Alfred Ali, PIC Peace Zone/Area, RCCG, Yola.

To paraphrase the pastor’s quote above,
If you cannot die for your faith as a true Christian; you are worse than the infidels that have never being a Christian.
If you cannot die for truth; you are just a walking corpse in human skeleton.
If you cannot lose your education, job, marriage and forfeit all the comfort that life may present for righteousness sake; you are an irredeemable hypocritical Christian.
And, if you cannot expose the secrets of sin and sinful atmosphere due to the threat to your life and family; friend, you better just die and live this world now.

To be acquainted with the subject matter at hand, we have to first of all understand the intention and occupation of the devil. The devil’s intention is to always ensure that you are in perpetual fear in order to deceive you. And when he has succeeded in setting you up by capturing and turning your mind away from the saving grace of GOD when you are facing challenges to your Christian faith, he will then launch his wicked occupation against you which is to STEAL you from eternity in heaven, to KILL you before you repent to amend your ways, and to finally DESTROY your soul in hell fire so that you are totally and eternally lost from the GOD that created you in His own image and likeness Genesis 1:27. Thank GOD that despite the devil having the mission to steal, kill and destroy you in hell fire, JESUS CHRIST has come today to give you life in abundance. Please accept Him today as your LORD and personal saviour, and it shall be well with you now here on earth, and eternity in heaven if you accept Him. John 10:10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” NKJV.

If you don’t guide yourself and your Christian faith jealously with all aggression against the onslaught of the devil, who is determined to ensure that you lose heaven just the same way he lost it by presenting all manner of things to cage you, you will soon discover that whereas you are shouting and boasting that I am a ‘born again’, ‘Holy Spirit filled’, child of God’, ‘heaven bound’ and proclaiming all biblical proclamations and claiming all that pertains to life and godliness, the devil on the other hand would be mocking your ignorance calling and laughing at you declaring ‘foooooollllllllllll, hahhahahahahahahah’, because he knows you belong to him body, soul and spirit. Hence the Bible warned us to “Submit yourselves therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. ” James 4:7.

The instrument that the devil used mostly and effectively to ensure that men cooperate with him to commit sin against GOD is the instrument of FEAR. You must as a matter of reality understands that ‘the fearful’ has no place in the kingdom of GOD in heaven Revelation 21:8. The devil knows that once fear capture you as a Christian, you have lost your ground and therefore, he will be able to achieve whatever evil he intended against you particularly to ensure that you lose your salvation and ultimately to damn your soul in hell fire. GOD understands that fear is a tormentor and therefore enjoined us to ‘fear not’ with sixty two verses of the Bible (according to my search). “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: BECAUSE FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4:18.

A lot of people today have become an object of ridicule, blackmail and cheated because they succumbed to the advances of the devil that used fear to intimidate them into submitting and cooperating with him to sin against GOD. Some people today have backslided and given up their Christian faith for other ‘religion’ because of jobs, marriages, money and acceptance in the environment they found themselves.

Others on the other hand have outrightly denied CHRIST and renounced their Christian faith when they faced the challenge of physical death. This is even knowing that the Bible had warned us never to fear the people that can only kill the body (physical death) but certainly have no power to kill your soul (spiritual death) in hell fire Luke 12:4. GOD, who is able to kill the body and destroy the soul in hell fire, is the ONLY person we are commanded to fear Matthew 10:28. This in addition you know that once you deny CHRIST before men, you will be denied by CHRIST before GOD, which means that you have been locked out from eternity in heaven. Matthew 10:33 “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”
Even at that, whether your life is spared by denying  CHRIST when you faced people that are doing the biddings of Satan (Islamic terrorists around the world), the death you are afraid of dying now will still come whether you like it or not. Why not rather choose to die an honourable death by being killed for your Christian faith and belief in JESUS CHRIST, rather than denying CHRIST and still die and face hell fire punishment? Ecclesiastes 8:8 “THERE IS NO MAN THAT HATH POWER OVER THE SPIRIT TO RETAIN THE SPIRIT; NEITHER HATH HE POWER IN THE DAY OF DEATH: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.”

And yet, some people have caught their bosses on top of their friend’s wives, some have seen their bosses making diabolical concussions around their offices; and others have caught people red handed stealing. In order to ensure that these evil secrets are not exposed to the light as it has been discovered, threat to life, threat of losing jobs and other inhuman treatment have been employed by the committers of these crime to cowed the people from exposing these sins and wickedness. Will you therefore cooperate with the devil to cover up this wickedness from being exposed; all because of the treat you were threatened? If you do so, you have succeeded in cooperating with the devil to commit sin against GOD because the Bible says “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, BUT RATHER EXPOSE THEM.” Ephesians 5:11. NKJV.

Furthermore, some students and job seekers have compromised their Christian faith in order to graduate and become gainfully employed. Your lecturers and would-be employer have threatened you that unless you perform sexual affairs with them, forget about graduation and gaining any employment under their demonic organisation. And you, because you feel that this is the only option opened for you to achieve your life desires, you decided to play along and cooperate with the devil to commit sin against GOD. In fact, these wicked and demonised lecturers and employers of labour have even boasted to you that every other person that got to them always agreed with their terms before they got graduated and employed. And you foolishly believed the lie of the devil and thereby commit sin against GOD by cooperating with those agents of Satan. The Bible warned “NOW THE BODY IS NOT FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY BUT FOR THE LORD, AND THE LORD FOR THE BODY.” 1 Corinthians 6:13. NKJV.

And also even in an attempt to get married, most people today are cooperating with the devil to commit sin against GOD. This is done when the man intending to marry you threatened that unless he sleeps with you (premarital sex) that the marriage will never be. And you because you felt that age is no longer on your side, and coupled with the fact that before this present man came by, it took you serious fasting and prayers, all-night vigil and luck to see him, you therefore agreed to his wicked proposals since you concluded that if he goes, this means the end for you ever getting married. My friend, you have just cooperated with the devil to commit sin against GOD. Don’t you know the position of GOD regarding your affairs before marriage? Hebrews 13:4 “MARRIAGE IS HONORABLE AMONG ALL, AND THE BED UNDEFILED; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.” NKJV.

Even at that, some people have caught their friend's wives in sexual immorality, and in order to hide the sin from being exposed to their husbands, these loosed women often cajoled their husband's friends into having sexual affairs with them so as to shut the door against the exposure of such wickedness. Friend, don't you ever cooperate with the devil to commit sin against GOD. Don't ever have pleasure in the wickedness they are involving themselves in so that you will have the legal ground to expose them. Romans 1:32 "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."

Remember, anything that is not of faith, the Bible says is SIN Romans 14:23.
Ask yourself: The cooperation you are cooperating with the devil to commit sin against GOD, is it of faith? The wickedness you are hiding from being exposed by the truth, is it of faith? The agreement you entered to have sex just to get graduated and become gainfully employed, is it of faith? When you denied CHRIST just because you were threatened to be killed, is it of faith? When you accepted to convert to other religion and deny your Christian faith because of wealth, job, and marriage, is it of faith? Is it faith that encouraged you to tell lie? Is it faith that asked you to sleep with that man before marriage? In all the things you are doing today, were are the acts of faith in it?

As you have read this post today, consider your position and the things you doing if it is in agreement with Satan, or against GOD. My prayer is that from today, you will never cooperate again with Satan to commit against GOD in JESUS name. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Dear Friend, You Only Have Today To Repent From Your Sins

DEAR FRIEND, YOU ONLY HAVE TODAY TO REPENT FROM YOUR SINS

Hebrews 4:7 “Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”

Dear friend, if you have not yet given your life to JESUS CHRIST for the salvation of your soul and deliverance from the everlasting torments of hell fire Mark 9:43-44, today is the only day you have to do so. This is because every living human being has today as the only guaranteed day in his entire life. Yesterday is gone and you can never go back there to correct the mistakes made thereby. Tomorrow is a promissory note because you have no power to walk into tomorrow with your own strength or idea, hence no one that knows the colour of tomorrow.

Please make haste right now while the sun shine (when you still have breath in your nostrils) because nobody can ever carryout any work when the sun sets (when you are dead), and you may never be privileged for a second chance. Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.”

Therefore, irrespective of your current beliefs and religious activities, if you want to end up in the one and only heaven where the true GOD dwells, you MUST accept JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and personal saviour. You must make JESUS the LORD of your life because He alone is “the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6 that leads there. No argument, no two ways about it.

JESUS alone can guarantee you eternal life of abundance John 10:10, but the devil, who is a thief and a liar and in order to ensure that your soul is destroyed in hell fire with him Matthew 25:41 will tell you that all religion on the face of the earth leads to GOD in heaven. Friend, this is a black and wicked lie from the pit of hell. The Bible says there is no “salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” Acts 4:12. So, no other means to get to heaven outside of JESUS CHRIST.

Come unto JESUS CHRIST now and you “shall find rest unto your soul” Matthew 11:29.
GOD bless you.

Be A Responsible Data User, Avoid Cheats And Tweaks

BE A RESPONSIBLE DATA USER, AVOID CHEATS AND TWEAKS

Often times due to the insatiable desire of human beings, we usually look out for avenues to satisfy our appetite or meet our demands desperately even if it means going into dubious and shady adventures provided our needs are met. We equally don’t care whether we infringe, trample, tampered or stepped on other peoples’ idea and copywrited materials to achieving our desperate desires, we often see those illegal ventures and avenues as loopholes to pay back on those who in one way or the other we consider ripping us off unjustly, without minding the stress these people, institutions, enterprises and firms underwent before coming out bright in the provision of their services.

Now due to the lack of responsible attitudes of most of our youths today particularly as it relates to internet subscription and data usage in Nigeria, coupled with the high cost to maintaining data enabled devices especially devices powered by Google’s Android operating system, Apple’s iOS, Windows OS and the new BB10 OS, including USB Modems and other data machines and devices, our youths have now resorted to either tweaking the imei of their devices, or create cheats and work on loopholes as may be discovered on the various telecoms platform to use a service that was not designed for their devices. Irrespective on which angle we may want to argue this point, it is a criminal act and I call on everyone involved in such criminality to please stop doing it right away. You may never be caught in the eyes of the law, but should your conscience be alive as a human being, you quite know that what you are doing is wrong and obviously it is a crime.

In Nigeria today, we all usually screamed to the rooftops shouting ‘government is corrupt’ ‘government is corrupt’, whereas we as an individual are more corrupt than the government officials we are screaming at. To control, stop and tame corruption and corrupt practices in Nigeria, every one of us must see ourselves as stake holders in the fight and struggle to eliminate corruption in our midst. We must start to be involved in responsible ventures worthy of emulation so that we don’t continue in sowing bad seeds in our young ones and expect to achieve a corruption-free Nigeria in the near future.

The various internet and data service providers in Nigeria are offering their services in commensurate measures as set by the regulatory agency (NCC), and coupled with the prevailing circumstances, unfriendly and harsh business environment in Nigeria, these operators one way or the offer their services rather on the high side, putting into consideration what it takes to provide such a service to an individual or entity. Although I am not supporting the high tariff offered Nigerians on the internet platforms, but I am sure their hands are tied in this regard.

For example, a competent source confides in me sometimes ago that the regulatory agency NCC, threatened to sanction Glo Mobile Nigeria, for offering a 350MB data volume at N1,000 to their HSI data subscribers should they fail to review it downward. And true to the information as was passed to me, Glo Mobile today has reviewed that data subscription plan, as they now offer 300MB data volume for N1,000 as against the initial 350MB that was available earlier. NCC, rather than our various data service providers are to be held responsible for the high cost of internet services in Nigeria. Our aggression should be directed at them and not at our service providers because they work under regulations set by the NCC.

From the foregoing therefore, instead of you buying a device which is data hungry,expensive to maintain and amounting to heavy data drainage on use, which invariably may cause you to be tempted by venturing into irresponsible acts and breaking normal operating system to use illegally to achieving your aims and desire, why not go for OS devices that have been designed and customised for cheap data consumption and services in meeting your crave for unending high data demands? Here, the older Blackberry OS comes to play. You are involved in tweaking your imei in order to use the normal Blackberry internet services on your Android OS. Why not rather buy any Blackberry OS lower than BB10 and use the cheaper subscription meant for such services? To be responsible means to use platforms as it is meant to be used.

Moreover, there are cheaper Android, iOS, Windows and other services data subscription available today on the various mobile networks in Nigeria, all thanks to SME data subscription offered by third parties who usually buy data in bulk from the various service providers, and yours truly is one of them selling a legal third party data subscriptions to Nigerians. You can ring me on 08144845524 for your subscription 24/7. I will therefore encourage you to start patronizing these third party data resellers which is a laudable venture, than engaging in tweaks, cheats and tricks in using a legal service illegally. Youths of today, stop being irresponsible, and casts off the acts of irresponsibility from you.

Remember, whatever thing you do to cheat on others, it has eternal consequences whether you believe it or not. So stop! Be responsible today!

GOD bless you all.

The Difference Between Being In Christ and Being Christ's

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING IN CHRIST AND BEING CHRIST’S

 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Galatians 5:24 “And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”

To be in CHRIST means to come to CHRIST from your sinful life unto the newness of life that is in CHRIST JESUS Romans 6:4. It means recognising and forsaking your sinful lifestyle and embracing CHRIST as you surrender unto Him your life and affairs Luke 18:13. It means that whereas you were a sinner, now you have just repented of your sins by accepting the LORDSHIP of CHRIST over you where you no lived a life of grace Romans 6:14. This is the beginning of Christianity but not the end as the journey to eternity with GOD has just begun.

But to be CHRIST’S means to be completely sold out to GOD in everything after embracing CHRIST as you came into the family of GOD Romans 14:7. It means to be made perfect in CHRIST Colossians 1:28. It means a total commitment and yieldedness to GOD in every area of your life and total dependence on GOD for your daily living Matthew 6:25. It means accepting the will of GOD against your own will whether it is convenient or not convenient Romans 8:35-39. It means a life of purity that presents the personality of CHRIST in wheresoever he is found Ephesians 3:17-19. It means a representation of JESUS in the world at large 1 Peter 2:9. This is the centre point of true Christianity and not the mere proclamation of religiousness as seen in most Christian circle today.

The Christian faith is centred on CHRIST and as such, it is expected for the professing Christians to possess the character traits of JESUS CHRIST who is the head of the church 2 Corinthians 10:7. To be called a Christian is not to belong to a denominational church or coming from a Christian background, or even fathered by a Christian family. To be called a Christian is for your life as an individual to be buried in CHRIST in every ramification, whereas you are the one living and walking around but CHRIST is the one seeing in you. Hence Apostle Paul declared “the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” Galatians 2:20.

CHRIST as the centre point of the Christian faith will cause the true believers in Him to be completely submerged into His personality that wherever you are spotted or seen around the world, the people around you will never see you but CHRIST Colossians 1:27. When the Apostles were first called Christians in Antioch, it wasn’t because they knew that these people were with JESUS, but they saw a replica of JESUS in these followers and then concluded that they are Christians (CHRIST –like), after examining them for a whole year Acts 11:26. This is the difference between the early Christians and today’s believers in CHRIST. Whereas the early Christians were distinct from the rest of the world in every sphere, today’s Christians however are in direct competition with the world system on how to win the world for themselves, even though they know that though they are in the world, but not of the world. John 17:16 “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”

To get the stage set for the subject matter, we must first examine the erroneous belief in the Christendom that everyone in the church is a Christian. This is misleading and a misrepresentation of true Christianity. Until you begin to address people by who they are in the real sense of it just like JESUS did regarding Judas Iscariot John 6:70, and Peter when the devil took possession of him Matthew 16:23, you may mistake a known thief and robber as a saint just because he or she is a member of a local church assembly. Again, there is no two ways about the Christian identity. Once you are a child of GOD and a true Christian, saved, sanctified and washed in His blood, the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD will bear you the inner witness Romans 8:16, but this witness must conform to the word of GOD as it relates to the result of your output which must be a reflection to the innermost conviction in the inside of you, otherwise you will be deceiving yourself by claiming what you are not James 1:22. Hence the Bible says “GOD know those that are His” 2 Timothy 2:19.

In today’s Christianity, one of the characteristics that prove people to be in CHRIST and never CHRIST’S is their reaction when they are being cautioned or warned against ungodly behaviour, character, approach, lifestyles, choices, attitudes and appearance using the word of GOD 2 Corinthians 5:11. Have you ever come across people that say you are judging them, preaching law and so on and so forth when you are ministering to them? These are people that are quick to mention that ‘I am a Christian’ even when such question hasn’t been asked. In their attempt to point their Christian faith to others, it often left them been seeing as typical hypocrite as a result of the fact that no sign of CHRIST-like attitudes is found in them. Evangelism by character is the greatest instrument of winning souls for the kingdom of GOD Acts 4:13, but in a situation where the life of the supposed Christian is even worse than those outside the corridor of Christianity, how true is such a claim that you are a Christian? The Bible says “A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid” Matthew 5:14.

Another characteristic of the Christians in CHRIST but who are not CHRIST’S is their struggle with the world. Any supposed Christian whose flesh is still the master is just in CHRIST, but not CHRIST’S. The inseparableness of the world affairs from the Christian fellow is the reason behind the partial or complete disobedience to the things of GOD Jeremiah 6:16-17. The love of the world and the attachment to the things of the world will never allow such a Christian to fully crucify their flesh with the affections thereof, hence they made themselves GOD’S own enemy right there in the church James 4:4. Such a Christian should however know that “if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die” Romans 8:13.

And yet another characteristic but the most devastating of being in CHRIST but not CHRIST’S is wearing the toga of religiosity without the commensurate power it provide 2 Timothy 3:5. This is responsible for the many claims of most Christian religious practitioners today who as a result of their religious engagement but in actual sense are deliberately disobeying the word of GOD often said they are the children of GOD. In this perspective, you will discover that people that are moved and led of the flesh, live for the flesh and satisfy the yearnings of the flesh and at the same time claiming the sonship of GOD, are in the majority in the church today. One of the things that endeared CHRIST to the Father was that He always does the things that pleased the Father John 8:29. So when a man lives in pleasures pleasing himself and satisfying himself with every desire of his heart, instead of living to please GOD, such a person is in Christ but certainly not CHRIST’S.

To be in CHRIST therefore is the entry level into true Christian life, as you have just turned a new leaf from your sinful nature into GOD’S nature, by accepting JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and personal saviour. But you definitely need to proceed from that entry level into the graduate class where CHRIST is now seen in you; hence you are now CHRIST’S. Brethren, until you come to the level that you are no longer yourself, you will surely be in Christ but will never be CHRIST’S neither can you hear His voice because you are preoccupied by the flesh. JESUS said “But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” John 10:26-27.

Now when you see people shouting ‘I am born again’ ‘born again’ and yet their entire being speaks otherwise, you will see people in CHRIST but never CHRIST’S. if you are just in CHRIST by becoming a new creature but you never allow the SPIRIT of CHRIST to possess you in totality which bring the true nature of CHRIST to bear, friend, you are none of His despite your claims. Romans 8:9 “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”

In conclusion, it is rather very unfortunate that in the Christendom today, over 98% of today’s Christians and worshippers are in CHRIST, whereas less than 2% are actually CHRIST’S. The danger it portends here is the fact that while both those in CHRIST and those that are CHRIST’S are together in the same church and fellowship, only those that are CHRIST’S are heaven-bound in this regard while all others cannot be sure of heaven being their eternal possession and destination. This is because the time of filtration is coming where the tares and the goats will be separated from the wheat and from the sheep Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43; 25:31-46. The most devastating effect of being in CHRIST without being CHRIST’S is the voice of rejection from the Master at the door, whereas you are “saying, Lord, Lord, open to us”, the Master will instead declared from inside saying “Verily I say unto you, I know you not.” Matthew 25:11-12. May this never be your portion today in JESUS name. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters in CHRIST JESUS, this race that is set before us required diligent effort to run it with grace and win the crown, and never to run it in vain Philippians 2:16. Just the Master said “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:16-17.

Are you ready to come to JESUS CHRIST now? Are you ready to be CHRIST-like in every area of your life and not just to be seen as a Christian? Do you want to be truly saved and acceptable by GOD? The stretch out arms of JESUS is still very much wide open to receive you. Make the most out of it now before the door is shut against you in eternity. Why not cry aloud unto GOD now telling Him you don’t just want to be in CHRIST, but you want to be CHRIST’S. Ask Him to wash you through and through, and it shall be well with you.

God bless you.

Shalom!

Hebrews 12:1-end

1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. 18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:) 22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
