TOPIC: BE SOBER BE VIGILANT - THE ROAD TO HEAVEN IS VERY SLIPPERY INDEED (PART TWO)



-THE WRITTEN WORD-
And He said unto me, son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. And the Spirit entered into me when He spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard Him Who spake unto me.

And He said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.

For they are impudent children and stiff hearted. I do send thee unto them: and thou shalt say unto them, thus saith the Lord God. And they, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear (for they are a rebellious house) yet, shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.

For thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions, be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forebear: for they are most rebellious. But thou son of man, hear what I say unto thee: be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.

And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, in a roll of a book was written: and He spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written herein lamentations, mourning and woe”…..EZEKIEL 2:1-10.



-WHAT I RECEIVED FROM JESUS CONCERNING THIS MATTER-
When I was about to publish the already prepared part two of this message, the Lord dropped it in my spirit to add the above scripture from the book of Ezekiel. Well, I have never claimed that I was a Prophet, or that the Lord had called me as one. Yet, the Lord Himself commanded that I must write as a Prophet, and that I must warn all those involved in lying about Him and about His gospel to desist or be ready to face His wrath.

If therefore you are one of those that prophesy on the wicked, that it shall be well with them, then know it this day that the hand of the Lord is after you for evil. If you are one of those that flatter folks for advantage, you are one of the enemies of God - and sooner than later He will catch up with you. You must repent today or face the wrath of God.

Brethren of the Lord, the Church of Jesus is getting used to “thus saith the Lord”, when the Lord has not said anything. The hitherto office of the Prophet has been hijacked by thieves and liars and spiritual fraudsters, enemies of righteousness, who say “thus says the Lord” when the Lord has not spoken to them. They are everywhere – and they usually find ready customers in unbelievers and believers with itching ears. They tell lies in the name of God. They seek popularity and ultimately their bellies.

But they shall proceed no further. For our God has risen to defend His name amongst the heathen. Our God has risen to put an end to the menace those who prophesy with familiar spirits. They have flood the Church of Jesus Christ, peddling lying and satanic “prophecies”. Time is up for all of them.

There is no peace indeed for the wicked, especially for those who aid wickedness by refusing to teach folks the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. If the Lord has called you to preach His gospel, then you must preach His gospel. You must not use His pulpit for any reason other than to preach His Gospel. You must not use His pulpit to make money, to make friends or to become popular. You must not use His pulpit to suppress the truth, or to blackmail those who preach the truth. You must not abuse the God-given privilege to preach His gospel.

Brethren, if we must make friends it must be for Jesus, it must be for the One Who sent us – to raise Disciples for Him. If you only succeed in raising folks who regard you as a hero, but who wickedness in wickedness, you have only succeeded in defeating the purpose for which our Lord called you – and consequences will follow. You must not use His pulpit to cajole and flatter folks. Know you not that all flatterers will have their place in the lake that burneth and quencheth not?

Do you take pleasure in turning the scriptures upside down in order to soot the egos and sinful pleasures of compromisers and sinners and to retain them as members? Repent today. Do you teach politics, history, medicine, psychology, marketing, sociology, economics, etc., even as the gospel of our Lord? Repent before it is too late. If you have nothing to preach please leave the pulpit. Our Lord will not come looking for you. You have no mandate to turn the pulpit of our God into a political arena.

Do you misappropriate God’s money, and then blackmail brethren by telling them that if they asked questions the earth would open and swallow them up? Repent today before it is too late. If you are not careful, one of these days that earth would open, but you will actually be the one to be swallowed. Do not say that I did not warn you. Whosoever misuses God’s money will give account? Every income given to a believer by our God will be accounted for. Are you therefore a believer living a wasteful lifestyle? You will give account. There shall be no excuses. Godliness with contentment is great gain. All who seek God for their bellies shall give account.

I must again state categorically that I condemn no one. If you feel condemned it is your heart that condemns you. THIS MESSAGE IS FOR ME AS IT IS FOR OTHERS. If you reject it you will still meet it on judgment day. There is no running away from the truth. Some will even dare lie to themselves and to others that I am preaching the law. Assuming they are correct, but they are not. Is it not written that our God shall write His laws in the heart of every believer? Have you not read that the love of Christ also means the fulfillment of the laws of God? Yet, I am not preaching the law – I am preaching righteousness and holiness – I am preaching the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. That was what our Lord preached, that was what first Disciples preached – that is what I am preaching. What are you preaching?

Men and brethren, without holiness no man or woman will see our God. The salvation calling is a calling unto all righteousness, unto all holiness. Nothing and nobody that is defiled shall make it into heaven. The eyes of He Who called us is too pure to behold iniquity. We are saved from sin to go and sin no more. Those who continue in sin after salvation are doomed to eternal damnation except they repent and amend their ways. The mercy of our God endures forever – go for it today and you will forever be glad you did. It is futile striving to differentiate between sin in the flesh and in the spirit. Both of them carry the same consequence – eternal damnation.

Brethren, the word of God says that we shall through much tribulation make it into heaven. From the days of John the Baptist, till today, the kingdom of our God suffers violence, and only the violent shall take it by force. If we must strive for anything it must be that we might make heaven at last. Do not be as those who sleep. Awake today to righteousness and to holiness: forsake evil and seek good, and it shall be well with you. When you live godly, you will not only prosper, you will also make heaven at last.

Do not follow the multitude to live in sin. Refuse to follow those who profess that once they are saved they are saved, no matter how they lived afterwards. Justification does not apply to sins we commit after salvation. When we are saved we are justified but only from our PAST sins. There is no justification in continuing sin. Only our God is justified at all times and in all circumstances. It is therefore the height of spiritual pride for a believer to demand to be justified while living in sin.

Brethren, there is a way that seemeth right unto men and women, but it will forever lead to eternal damnation. When the Lord says in Hebrews Chapter Eight, verse Ten to Twelve, that our sins and iniquities He would remember no more, He was only referring to our past sins and iniquities. Please study the Bible (and preferably the King James Version), and by the help of the Holy Ghost, and not by the aid of annotations of theologians most of whom lack the Spirit of God.

Brethren, we do not remember what will happen in future! When God said He will not remember, He was only referring to our past sins. From the day we are saved, saved, God will not remember our past sins any more. But when we continue in sin, He does not need to remember it, it is there before Him - and He will cast us away from His sight if we fail to repent – for His eyes cannot behold iniquity.

Brethren, If we continue in the same sins we are saved from, we deny our Christ. For a believer to live willful in sin is an open challenge to the authority of the Holy Ghost. Many of us are accusing Judas Iscariot of denying our Lord. But he did it just once. But every sinful act of a believer amounts to denial of our Lord Jesus Christ. Any time we sin as believers we deny our Lord. And as we continue in sin we are just struggling to crucify Him even the second time.

Can we then begin to imagine what it means to crucify our Lord the second time? A certain fearful and terrifying experience awaits all that are concerned. Forsake evil today and live. It is appointed to every man and woman once to die and then judgment. There shall be no excuses. He or she that has ears let him or her hear what the Spirit of God is telling His Church of Jesus Christ.

Our Lord will soon be on His way. You cannot stop Him by thinking or even speculating that He will tarry. He will not tarry. Yes He will not. And when He arrives He will judge every believer according to His or her works. But for those who out rightly rejected Him, their fate is already determined without more.
