“And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah, the son of Odeb: 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 found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.

‘Jesus said unto them, did you never read in the scriptures, the Stone which the builders rejected the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

-THE RECEIVED WORD-
Men and brethren, the title of today’s message, again, is taken directly from the very words of Master Jesus when He spoke with me few days ago. He was responding to some personal issues in my home. He had used the same phrase in another discussion He had with me few weeks back. But when our Lord repeated the phrase to me, in less than a week interval, I began to understand that He desires that I should also let His Church know what He is really talking about. And it will be in the interest of all who name the name of the Lord, even the so-called high and mighty in the Church of the only mighty One, to read this message and apply their hearts to wisdom.

First and foremost, let it be firmly established in the hearts of all believers world-wide, that true Christianity is a journey and not a destination. True Christianity is a way of Life, and that Life is the only Life available. That Life is Christ Jesus – in Whom is Life and that Life is the Light of men. And whosoever does not have Christ does not have this Life, and that person is just as a living dead.

Those that are saved in Christ are saved unto this Life, even unto our Lord Jesus Christ. And as long as they walk in that Life, Who is the true Light Who lighteth the whole world – as long as they walk in the reality of that Light, they remain children of the living God. But whenever a believer walks away from the Light, that is, when a believer leaves the ways of Christ, he or she would slip into sin, that is, into death, which is the life available to folks of this world.

The people of the world call this death, even this darkness, life. Whosoever is not in Christ, and those who were in Christ but who have slipped away through sin and compromise, both walk in the darkness that is in this world? And when a person, believer or unbeliever, dies in this darkness, eternal damnation is certain and sure.

Brethren, the reason for this message is this: that many who claim to be believers, are actually walking in this darkness which the world calls life. And in so doing, they are headed for hell fire without giving a thought to it.  Many in Church, who talk so much about our Lord, sing a lot about His name, write many wonderful stories about Him, and even preach Him with some zeal, are in truth without Him. They are Church goers but in truth they of the world, even of darkness. They are walking in the ways of the world – in the death that is in the world; while at the same time professing Christ. Satan is indeed a great deceiver!

Men and brethren, what our Lord Jesus Christ is teaching us through this message in summary is this: that that the present Church has little or no resemblance with Him or with His doctrines. This message is about is a perverted Church, a hypocritical Church  - a church that knows about the founders of the Church more than they know the true Owner of the Church.

Brethren, our Lord is revealing a Church that has white, black and Hispanic Churches, even in the very midst of other races - as in the United States of America. He is pointing to a Church that has Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa Churches, etcetera, even in the very midst of other tribes, as in Nigeria. And so on and so forth. Master Jesus is revealing a Church that is reeling in racism, tribalism and all manners of bigotry. Ours is a Church that reels in wantonness and impunity – a Church that celebrates shame and nakedness, a Church that competes with the world in all manner of worldliness.

Let me alert those involved –that if you, by any misfortune, pastor a church in which you preach a racially, tribally or sectional based gospel, know it this very day that you are a vile person before the Lord. What you are doing is that you are corrupting the testimony of our Lord our Lord Jesus Christ. If you use race, or any other form of discriminatory tactics as a means of attracting folks to your ministry, know it this day that you are thief – you are practicing wickedness, and before long your sins will catch up with you. There are many wicked men and women world-wide who take advantage of folks using race, tribe and other cultural elements to include and exclude folks from Church. Mark those involved, they are evil and their products can only look like them.

It is imperative that we all hear this. No racist, tribalist, or whosoever discriminates against folks for whatever reason, will make heaven at last. Whether white against black or black against white – whether it is one tribe against another tribe – they are all perverters of this gospel, and our God will soon vomit them out of His mouth.

Whosoever discriminates against fellow humans on any ground whatsoever is an enemy of God, and only worthy of eternal damnation. When Christ died He died for the whole world – He did not die for any particular race, tribe, language or creed. Men and women who have introduced these vices into the body of Christ are agents of satan – enemies of righteous. But they shall proceed no further.

Brethren, a true Church of Jesus Christ is where folks who are discriminated against should run into and be safe. A true Church is that which shields those who are being oppressed by reason of their race, color, language, tribe, social status or even religious beliefs. Mark these words; it shall be such a terrible day when those who discriminate against their fellow human beings face our Lord at the gates of heaven – such a terrifying day indeed.

Brethren, It is such a terribly vile thing before God for a preacher or member of a Church to drive folks away from Church by reason of prejudice – such a vile thing before the Lord. He who has ears let him or her hear what the Lord is saying to this Church. Men and brethren, our God is not a respecter of persons. So if you have respect of folks for whatever reason, sin lies at your door steps. If you are partial in your treatment of folks on any basis whatsoever you are a sinner. And if you refuse, fail to repent; your destination is hell fire. If you doubt me, ask Master Jesus. Ask Him where your fore fathers who walked in such wickedness are languishing today.

 If you have the uncontrollable penchant to discriminate against those created by God, even your very Creator, you must leave the Church of Jesus Christ alone. You must form your own racial or tribal Church. I bet you that our Lord will not come looking for you. But if you must lay claim to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in any gathering, then necessity is upon you to accept all, irrespective of race, color, tribe, language, religion or culture under that umbrella. The Lord knows them that are truly His – whosoever names the name of our God must depart from iniquity.
