TOPIC: A GENERATION HAS ARISEN THAT DOES NOT KNOW GOD (PART FOUR AND FINAL PART)

-THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD -
“And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded. And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him: hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; the Lord is with you while ye be with Him: and if ye seek Him He will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.

And for a long season Israel hath been without the true God and without a teaching priest, and without law. But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found of them.

And those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity. Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

And when Asa heard these words, and prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the alter of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord of the Lord…..

And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their hearts, and with all their soul.....And they sware unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought Him with their whole desire: and He was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about:...2ND CHRONICLES 15:1-8, 12, 14-15.


-WHAT I RECEIVED OF THE HOLY GHOST CONCERNING THIS MATTER-
Men and brethren, our God is continuing to send His Apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, that are loyal to Him and to His perfect will, with the true gospel – warning His people daily to repent from their evil ways, and to seek Him with all their heart. For many are indeed seeking the Lord but not with all their heart.

Many today are seeking God for many reasons other than for the salvation of their souls. Unlike King Asa in the scripture of the day, many are finding excuses why they must not live according to the perfect will of God. And one such infamous excuse is that “they are living under the grace of our Lord”. They claim that grace of our Lord Jesus Christ offers liberty unto impunity and lawlessness. They use the grace of our Lord as a cloak for sin.

My sisters and brothers in the Lord, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has been redefined by this Church. The present Church has committed itself to destroying the true essence of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. It has deliberately watered down the demands of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. The same grace, which empowered the early Church unto all holiness and unto all righteousness that are in Christ Jesus, has now become an instrument of indulgence and compromise unto the Church of today. The same grace which caused believing folks of the past to live practically as gods amongst men, has today been reduced to an instrument to covetousness and lasciviousness – and shame.

Let me remind us of these infallible truths. By the grace of our Lord, made manifest through faith, many believers of the past manifested Christ to the world around them. Wherever they appeared, they spread the fragrance of Christ – the fragrance of righteousness and holiness – clothed with garments not spotted with sin or worldliness. Under the influence of grace they were able to overcome the motions of sin in their flesh and lived unto God in sanctification and pure baptism of the Holy Ghost. By the same grace, they turned the world upside down, dictated the pace of the nature and the scope and pace of events world-wide – even through ceaseless and prevailing prayer. That was Christianity according to the true grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Today, brethren of the Lord, that same grace that in the past produced Christ-like folks all over the world, is today producing thieves, harlots, gays and lesbians, murderers, abusers of children, covetous men and women and the likes – enemies of righteousness. The same grace which empowered believers of past generations to turn their world upside down for Christ is now turning believers upside down for the world and for satan. The same grace that sanctified and baptized believers with the Holy Ghost is today producing believers who make some strange noise all in the name of speaking in the tongues of the Spirit. Yes, they speak, but not of the Holy Ghost – and in so doing, they mock and blaspheme the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

That same grace, which hitherto enabled believers to wrestle and overcome evil and murderous nations and kingdoms, is today producing folks who are eager and anxious to condescend to worldly standards in order to be accepted by the world. The same grace which in the past empowered believing folks to preach the undiluted word of God is today helping aiding us to preach all manners of subjects as the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. The same grace which perfected the believer of old is today corrupting the believer. That must be another type of grace indeed.

That same grace that Jesus shed, to bring and maintain salvation, is today breeding compromise, corruption, lies, nakedness, divorce, and hatred, all manners of sexual immorality, cheating and drunkenness. The same grace which produced men and women of God is today producing those who call themselves into the work and for their bellies. The grace of our Lord has become a fashion parade on decaying and smelling pulpits all over the world.  That same grace that produced Prophets of old is today producing lying men and women, even boys and girls, who say “thus says the Lord” when they neither know the Lord nor heard from Him.

Brethren the truth is this: that many even the Church of Jesus Christ, have told an enduring lie about Christ and about His glorification. Through their inability to stand the demands of life in Christ, they have created unto themselves another grace, but not of the Lord. Some folks in the Church have manufactured a type of grace that is unto ungodliness and unrighteousness – the grace that allows Christians to continue in the very sins for which Christ came and died – and in their sins still hopelessly hoping to manifest in heaven one day. They tell themselves comforting lies about Christ and about His salvation – and in so doing they make themselves enemies of our God.

 Some folks in the body of Christ, have, through the sustained use of resources they unconsciously received from satan and satanic sources, devalued Christianity – and turned the glory of our God into the glory of lecherous men and women on suit  - enemies of all that is godly. And our God is angry, and our Lord Jesus Christ is worried. And our Lord Jesus Christ through His Spirit has sent me to warn us – to warn as many as are willing to hear and make amends. This is a generation of Eli and his children – sons and daughters of hell.

Men and brethren, this generation of Christians is exactly the generation of believers described by Apostle Paul in his letter to Titus, particularly at Chapter One verse 16. According to him,  “They profess that they know God: but in works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate”. This is a generation that has a form of godliness, but out rightly denies the power thereof. This is a generation that worships the creature in place of the Creator. And our God is indeed very angry with the present Church. And He is about to do something that any ear that hears it will tingle.

But there is a way out, brethren. Yes, there is a way out – for as many as are willing to make amends. The mercy of our God is very much available to help in these times of great need – for His mercies endureth forever. We must emulate what transpired in today’s scripture. We must rise up even as the folks in Judah and Jerusalem did in the days of prophet Zachariah, the son of Oded. For our God again sent a Prophet unto His people. He or she, who has ears to hear, let him or her hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to the Church of Jesus Christ.

We all must of necessity rise to the challenges posed by satan to the body of Christ. Satan has been able to penetrate very very deep into the body of Christ. Many within the rank and file of the leadership of today’s Church are under direct and indirect control of satan and of his forces. Satan under utmost disguise as an angel of light is today manipulating many in the body of Christ. Worldly pursuits and achievements have gradually become the standards of measuring the height of Christianity. The present Church is under increasing danger of disappearing into the world. But, as I wrote earlier, there is a way out. Our God will always make a way even where there seems to be none.

 In our today’s scripture, the folks in Judah and Benjamin gathered and took an oath to return to the Lord. They made up their hearts to seek the Lord with all their heart, and the mercy of God availed them. Therefore, nothing should stop any of us from doing so today. Whatever you need to do, do it and save your life from destruction. If you must resign from a polluted working environment, please do. If you must leave that sin partner you call your wife or husband, please do.  If you are divorced, for any reason whatsoever, you will either remain single until your spouse is no more; or, after hearing this message, hurriedly return to your first husbands, even to your first wives. Forgive all that you may be forgiven. And if you must give away all that you stole from people and start all over again, please do – even the largess you obtained through false pretenses.

Brethren, restoration is the perfect will of God wherever it is applicable. You must restore what you have stolen as long as you can still reach your victims. If you die doing the perfect will of God, good enough – you will make heaven. But if you refuse to do His perfect will you will end up in eternal torment. Where there is need for confession, it must be made – no the cost. Do not say in your heart that your husband or your wife will do this or that if you confess your infidelity. You must say it all – including that child that does not belong to your husband. There is no hiding place for sinners. And there is no cost comparable to everlasting life in hell fire.

Never for once consider the cost of obeying the Lord, never. Your future is at stake – all your future. You have a choice to determine where you will spend your life after here – either in the never quenching sulfuric inferno forever and forever or, in the company of our Lord and of His angels in heavenly bliss forever. You have a choice to make, and fast. Tomorrow may be too late. Your next step may be the last – you are not the owner of your life. Don’t mind that preacher who tells you that God understands. Hear it now, very loud and very clear – that our God does not understand. You must be holy even as He is holy. The only prayer that God listens to from a sinner and a compromising believer is the prayer for mercy – for His mercy rejoices over judgment – and it endures forever.

Do not say that I did not warn you. Do not listen to the man or woman who tells you that if you sow seed that the Lord will show you mercy. It is not true – you are on the path of destruction with your eyes wide open. Run for your dare lives. Let me remind us that it is better for one to die young and make heaven than to live a hundred and seventy years, enjoy all the pleasures of this life, and end up in hell fire. Death is not an issue in this matter – what matters is what next. Yes, we can live long in righteousness – Abraham did. But nothing whatever must stop us from making heaven at last – including life itself. For in all such things we are more than conquerors.

Brethren, the power of God to counter this decay in the body of Christ is very much available. It is available to as many as are willing to step out in boldness, in righteousness and in practical holiness. It is available to as many as are willing to speak the truth of this Gospel in love. It is available to as many as are willing to poke their fingers into the very eyes of satan, even at will. It is available to as many as are willing and desirous to suffer all manners of persecution for the sake of this Gospel. Satan is a very big coward for those who know better.

Brethren of the Lord, it is the perfect will of God that all that must live righteously must suffer persecution. If therefore you are averse to persecution, please do not border to answer this call. It is the perfect will of God that whosoever must make heaven at last must do so through much trembling. If therefore your Christianity is that of pursuit endless pleasure, you have no part in this matter.

Brethren, it is the perfect will of God that we should propagate His truth with courage and boldness – without looking at faces -  and damming all satanic consequences. If therefore your type of Christianity is that you do not want to hurt anybody, please stay where you are. This battle is only for the bold and courageous – bold and courageous to preach and to live out the perfect will of God. This matter is only for true sons and daughters of God. If you are one of them, then step out today, come to the aid of our Lord against the mighty - and the Lord will empower you beyond your wildest imagination.

Brethren, the time has come to call a spade a spade. It is time we started doing things as the Apostles of old did things. It is high time we started doing things even as the prophets of old did things. It is high time we started doing things even as Christ did things in the days of His flesh – and even as He is doing things today. We must keep in focus that the true Church of Jesus Christ must be built on the prophets and on the Apostles – Jesus Christ standing as the Chief-Cornerstone.

 Man and brethren, it is high time we started preaching what we are called to preach and not what folks desire to hear. The power of God to make all things beautiful in His time is still available. But the present Church must wake up from its present slumber to access the true God and His true power. Until this is done, satan and the world will continue to trample upon the Church and upon godliness. God forbid!




THE GIFT:

 HERE IS THE GIFT I MENTIONED IN PART THREE OF THIS MESSAGE. BUT YOU MUST HAVE FULLY READ THIS MESSAGE BEFORE THIS GIFT WILL AVAIL YOU.

The Holy Ghost has a confirmatory gift for whosoever is willing to enter into this truth with all his or her heart. And this is the gift: If you accept this message willingly and desire to make amends where necessary, the Holy Ghost has promised to touch you in any area of your life that needs a touch from the Lord. All you need to do is this: simply lay your hands on this message, through any device available to you. Promise the Holy Ghost that you will make amends wherever applicable. Then ask Him to confirm that He is the Author of this message by doing something specific for you or even for another. It may be the healing of any manners of disease whatsoever or, whatever you desire God to do for you – so long as that particular thing is His perfect will of God for you for now. Whatever is that issue – just ask Him to visit it as a confirmation that this message and this mandate have His full backing and sanction. You may even ask for the raising of the dead whose death is not according to the will of God. It shall be done. The assurance I have from the Holy Ghost is that some will receive instant miracles, while some will receive many infallible signs of approval from Him. *******But there is a caveat: When He visits you, and I know He certainly will: then you must submit perfectly and unconditionally to His word as expressed in these messages.
