-THE WRITTEN WORD-
“And Jesus went out from there, and came into His own country; and His disciples followed Him: and when the Sabbath day was come, He began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing Him, were astonished, saying: from where hath this man these things? And what wisdom is this which is given unto Him, that even such mighty works are wrought by His hands?..MARK 6:1-2.
“….Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding? Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air….God understandeth the way thereof, and knoweth the place thereof. For He looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven.
….The did God see it, and declare it: He prepared it, yea, and searched it out. And unto man He said. Behold, the fear of God that is wisdom: and to depart from evil is understanding”….JOB 28: (7-28).
-THE RECEIVED WORD-
(Please endeavor to study the whole of Job 28 as part of this message – please do. God will touch you as you obey).
Brethren, one notable feature of the Church of Jesus Christ of now is the near, and in some places, total absence of the fear of God amongst the rank of the file of the body – from the pulpit down to the pew. Many in today’s Church have developed a strange appetite – an appetite to use the name of God in vain, to mock the work of God – and to trample upon the person of our Lord Jesus Christ.
What many amongst us do not realize is this: that when we are in error, and in it continue to insist that all is well, what we are actually doing is that we binding Christ just as we bind satan! That may sound strange to some, but that is exactly what takes place in the realm of the spirit. When we claim the righteousness of Christ in God even while reeling in sin and iniquity, what we doing in reality is binding the Spirit of Christ in us – struggling to force the Spirit of Christ in us to submit to our lustful pursuits. When we hear the truth of this gospel and reject it, what we are doing is trying to cast away Jesus Christ from our lives. And many have already succeeded in doing just that – and many are in the process of doing same with their eyes wide open.
For those who do not yet believe it – our Lord Jesus Christ is the word of God. It is not just about His name being referred to as the Word of God. Beyond that, and in practical terms, the word of God in that Bible in your hands is Jesus Christ. What makes a book a Bible is the word of God – and that word of God is Jesus Christ – pure and simple. When you open the Bible what you read therein is Jesus Christ. Every word of that Book is Him and Him personified. This is not theology, this is a heavenly reality. And it is verifiable for those who insist. How do they verify this – ask Him!
Therefore, when we consciously or unconsciously resist the word of God we are indeed resisting our Lord Jesus Christ. When we refuse to accept the word of God we are rejecting Christ in our lives, even while at the same time claiming that we are believers in Him. When we accept the word of God in part, what we are doing is calling our heavenly Daddy a liar. When we do things that are contrary to the word of God, we are trying to crucify Jesus Christ that second time. What you are reading is true and direct from the throne of God. If you doubt, ask Him directly for confirmation.
Brethren, we are in a Church where many daily declare thus says the Lord when the
Lord does not even know them, not to talk of saying something to them. And we do this with some impunity and carelessness. Let us all be wary of this very thing for it is judgment time for all who err in this manner. Brethren, citing the word of God in the Bible is one thing, but declaring that that is what God is saying per time is quite another thing altogether. Some call it to prophesy. But the must only prophesy what He is saying per time, not what our emotions or sentiments are moving us to say. It is lack of fear of God for a man or a woman to say what God has not said per time: indeed it amounts to great wickedness. Telling erring that God has released blessings on them makes you one of the Balaams of our time – and what happened to Balaam is just by your door step. Beware.
When we say thus says the Lord, what we are supposed to be doing is presenting what the Lord is saying per time. It is therefore a terrible thing to say such a thing when the Lord has not spoken. And this is what is prevalent in our Church today. Many, in the height of emotions, declare things the Lord has not said – thereby putting the name of the Lord in disrepute. How, because if the Lord said it, then He must honor it –it must surely come to pass even as He said it! I am not pleading with you to stop; rather I am sending a warning to all concerned – stop or face imminent wrath of God.
I will like to reveal a secret to this erring generation for believers. The way and manner we handle the Bible, even physically, matters a lot to our Lord Jesus Christ. I am revealing a truth and God bears me witness. If you do not honor that Book in the way and manner you handle it, you have no fear of God in you. If you do not respect that Book above all the things of this life, then you are yet to know our Lord Jesus Christ personally. The Bible is the most sacred thing in this life – more sacred than that alter you go to pray. If only we understood this basic but fundamental truth. That Book is too close to the heart of our God because its content is about His only Begotten Son.
Another vital secret, which many will reject even at their own peril, is this: that our Master Jesus Christ prefers that we use the hard copies of the Bible other than Bibles in tablets and in other devices. Indeed, to preach the word of God using a Bible from a device other than from a hard cover, when one is available, is evidence of lack of fear of God. Generally, the Lord prefers that we use hard copies of the Bible except where it is absolutely impossible to do so. I speak as the oracle of the living God – I lie not.
Therefore, if you have a penchant for using Bible in tablets and in other devices, even when hard copies are available and affordable, please cease from today. You must own a hard copy of the Bible; yes you must – if you can afford it. It is better to skip meals for days to have one. When you have one you have not only purchased meals to last throughout your life time, you have also purchased eternal life – if you would carefully follow all that is written therein.
Brethren, It far is better to forgo everything in this life for a copy of the Bible. So, if you have any fear of God in you, please go out there and purchase your own copy of the Bible – and that the King James Version of the Bible. I repeat, the King James Version of the Bible. I repeat it with authority of heaven –that our God, the same God Who created the heaven and the earth, prefers the King James Version of the Bible to any other version whatsoever. And if you indeed fear God, instead of you to try to enter into argument with me on this matter, do go straight to Him and ask Him. Indeed, there are versions of the Bible that are totally unacceptable to our Lord Jesus Christ. I will leave that matter for another day.
Brethren, it is clear evidence of lack of fear of God for folks to attempt to produce what they call “Bibles for men and for women, for prosperity, for healing, for this and for that, etc. Whosoever is involved in that exercise does not have the mandate of the Word Himself. I not am trying to be controversial, neither am I afraid of being tagged as such, so long as I write the truth as delivered to me by the Spirit of God. I will speak the truth irrespective of whosoever is involved. And whosoever will try to trample upon the truth will receive instant visitation from the same Spirit of our God. It is time to take the battle to the very camp of the enemy.
Moreover, if by any unfortunate means you have joined some fellows who take satanic pleasure in trampling upon and rubbishing the truth of the word of God, then know it also this very day that God’s judgment has come upon you. From now onwards, brethren, whosoever makes a mockery of the word of the living God, especially a believer, that person shall receive a visitation. That person may not die, but some certainly will: but generally there shall be consequences – yes, there shall be consequences. Tell them I said so.
For the time has come for judgment to begin in the Church of Jesus Christ. The fear of God, which is the foundation of our Christian experience, has been lost to many who continue to name the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in vain. We cannot continue to dishonors God and at the same time calling His name. We cannot live in rampant ungodliness and still be speaking of the Holy Spirit. Do you not know that the Spirit of the living God is a consuming Fire? Are you not afraid of falling into the fearful hands of our God? When our daily lifestyle dishonors God, we become a reproach to Him and to His kingdom. When we call the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and thereafter continue in sin and impunity we are just blaspheming His name amongst unbelievers.
Brethren, the wisdom of this life is not the same as the wisdom of our God. The beginning of the wisdom of God is the fear of God which compels us to willfully accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal Savior. Therefore, whosoever has not done so lacks godly wisdom and understanding. No matter how erudite and sound a man or a woman may appear or sound – so long as he or she does have Christ as Lord and Savior, he or she is bereft of godly wisdom. All that is in this life is worldly wisdom and it will all perish with the use.
There is therefore no wisdom is referring to the “success” of unbelievers in the Church of Jesus Christ. All the successes of this world without Christ are foolishness – utter foolishness. Success without Christ is absolute hopelessness. And whosoever in the Church, and who has the fear of this God in him or in her must never invite unbelievers to the pulpit of Christ for any reason whatsoever. Every unbeliever is defiled – whether they are Presidents of Prime ministers – whosoever they may be. Whatever an unbeliever becomes does not matter to our God. Without Christ man is absolutely nothing – but mere sand and water perfectly combined.
Brethren, if we have the fear of God, then we must not be found with pornography of any sort of manner, we not must be found dressed as prostitutes, we must not be found arguing the word of God. If you have any fear of God in us, then we must not be in Church late, we must pray and also study the word every day of your lives – for that is our life and even our length of days. Brethren, if we fear God, we must never think of marrying unbelievers – for mere thinking of it is as sinful just as doing it.
Brethren if we have the fear of God, we must stop talking, we must learn to keep quiet. One of the characters of satan is talkativeness – so also is everyone who lacks the Spirit of God. We must learn to speak even as the Spirit of God speaks! There is a lot of ungodly talk going on even in the Church of Jesus Christ – a lot of talk, even on the internet, even by those who profess Christ. God has nothing to do with all that talk. Many of us are deeply buried in things that have nothing to do with the perfect will of God for us, for His Church – and even for mankind in general.
As people who fear God we must not fear men and women – we must say the truth at all times and at all costs. Many are living in terrible yet to be confessed sins because of the fear of man. If for instance, you know that your child is not of your husband you must disclose it to him. If you are afraid of the consequence that means that you have no fear of God – that you fear man more than you fear God. If you have an ungodly relationship outside your marriage, then you must disclose it to your spouse – no matter the consequence. Refusing to do so means that you have no fear of God in you. Indeed, if you have any restitution to make and you refuse to make it because you fear man, then know it this day that the fear of God is not in you.
Men and brethren, there is a consequence for those who do not fear God – a certain and terrible consequence indeed. If one has no fear of God, HE OR SHE WILL NOT MAKE HEAVEN AT LAST. I used the capital letters to show us how serious this matter is. If you fear your employer or even your pastor more than you fear God, you are in very deep trouble indeed. If you refuse to disclose the truth at all times, you lack the fear of God. If you give or take bribe you lack the fear of God. The worst is to call bribery PR – whosoever does that is living on a satanic time bomb.
I am sent to believers world-wide: to encourage them to live right and make heaven at last. That theory that once saved always saved – irrespective of how we live thereafter, IS A LIE FROM SATAN. Ask our Lord Jesus Christ, He will confirm it. Whether you cite Apostle Paul or indeed any other Apostle, living or dead – the truth is that any soul that sinneth shall die, and that is referring to a believer. Unbelievers do not sin, they are sinners. Whoever continues in sin of any kind after salvation risks making hell fire at last – except confession is made and the mercy of God is sought and obtained.
I have read some folks hopelessly struggling to counter the truth by declaring that in Christ and in Him alone they stood. Well, I have a word for you from the same Jesus Christ you referred to. He said that I should tell you, that if you truly stood on Him that you would be manifesting His holiness and righteousness on a daily basis. He said I should tell you that you could not stand on Him and at the time be found standing on sin and on all manners of compromise. He warns – that it would be better that you were not saved at all than for you to be saved and then returned to the sin and iniquity from which He saved you with His precious Blood. Again, if you doubt me, ask our Lord Jesus Christ whether He said so or not.
Brethren, our Lord is coming back sooner than even my humble person can ever discern. There is increasing urgency in the affairs of heaven. The world is overripe for God’s righteous judgment. The only problem is that the present Church is not ready for that great and glorious event! Keep running for your dare lives!
