TOPIC: AND THIS MAN BEGAN TO BUILD AND WAS NOT ABLE TO FINISH. (PART TWO0

-THE WRITTEN WORD-

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I Am with you always, even to the end of the world. Amen.”….MATTHEW 28: 18-20.


-WHAT I RECEIVED OF THE LORD CONCERNING THIS MATTER-
**I prayerfully urge whosoever is meeting this message at this level to revert back to part one thereof in order to follow the foundation of the message and to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding and misinterpretation of what this message is all about.**

Now, one may dare to ask: but what is the kingdom of God? And what does it mean to preach the kingdom of God? The answers to these two questions will resolve every question about what heaven expects of the Church of Jesus Christ on earth. And wherever these questions are not properly addressed, error is the order of the day - and the consequence is a Church that raises folks that are more or less the disciples of the sleighs and traditions of men and of women, and even of the world, rather than the disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Over the years, brethren, these two questions have been given strange and dubious answers by many that are called to preach this Gospel. And the result is a church that is littered with multitudes and multitudes – but enemies of our Lord Jesus Christ all.
The church of today can best be described as a house that is divided against itself, and we all know what must necessarily follow. It does not lie in my mouth to pronounce judgment upon the church of now. Suffice it to declare here and now that whosoever is aiding and abetting this deviation from the truth will have a lot to explain when he or she faces our Master face to face at the gate of heaven.

Simply defined, brethren, the kingdom of our God is the kingdom of His righteousness, the kingdom of His holiness – that is, the kingdom of God on earth. When we speak of the kingdom of God on earth we speak about Christ in us the hope of glory. When we speak about the kingdom of God on earth we are referring to the Church that is founded on the doctrines of Christ - on love and upon all the fruits of the Spirit. When we speak of preaching the kingdom of God we are speaking of preaching, teaching and living out Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

Men and brethren, when we speak of the kingdom of God on earth, we must be referring to a community of folks, who are not only in Christ, but who also live even as He lives – for as He is so are we in this life. Are you truly as He is in your own life? Let us search ourselves and then apply your hearts to godly wisdom.

The kingdom of God on earth is the family of God on earth – of those who turn the world upside down. When we talk of the kingdom of God on earth, we are speaking of the rejects of the earth, the foolish of the earth – those who are accounted as nothing by the world – because the wisdom of God is foolishness to folks of this life, and foolishness of God is wiser than the folks of this life. And we that are called preach Christ and Him crucified – to the world foolishness, but to them that are truly saved, the wisdom and the power of God.

Brethren, when we preach and teach the kingdom of God we are preaching and teaching the character of God, even of His Christ. When we are called into the ministry of our Lord, our sole mandate is to bring folks into the kingdom of God, and then cause them to live as true citizens of that kingdom – to seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness. Whatever follows is in the firm hands of the Author and Finisher of our common faith.

Brethren, the true Church of Jesus Christ is a ground for bringing folks into the kingdom of God, and then helping the same folks to walk according to the laws and rules governing that kingdom. And as these saved folks diligently pursue the course of their new kingdom, the unending benefits of the kingdom begin to avail them. For it is written that path of the just is littered with abundance. Therefore, as the righteous walks on the path of righteousness and holiness of God, all that is good and perfect in this life avails him of her. This is the perfect will of our heavenly Daddy when He gave up His only begotten Son for you and for me.

Therefore it is treacherous and a display of spiritual pride and arrogance, for whosoever is called to raise disciples for Christ, to turn around and preach or teach the benefits of the kingdom of God as the gospel of our Jesus Christ, my Master. No doubt, most who do such even “prosper” in their very mischief – at the expense of the souls of millions of their followers.

When servants of the Lord refuse to preach the kingdom of our God and of His righteousness and holiness, but resort to things that are attractive to the mind and to the flesh, they also end up drawing folks into the benefits of the kingdom rather than into the kingdom itself. And when folks walk into the kingdom filled with the knowledge of the benefits of the kingdom, but not of the kingdom itself, they find it very difficult, if not impossible, to ever walk by the laws and rules of the kingdom. And instead of such folks to continue in the Lord they rather continue in endless pursuit of the things of life.

Brethren, when folks walk into the Church on the basis of what they can obtain from the Lord and not on Whom the Lord is, they will end up groping in the dark , always learning but never able to come to knowledge of the true God. And if the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous ever do? Many are in the Church of Jesus Christ but they do not know Christ the Owner of the Church. Many know institutions, individuals and denominations, but scarcely know who their Creator is –even our Lord Jesus Christ – for all things consist in Him.

 Brethren, it is not an overstatement for one to assert that majority of folks in Church of today is half-baked Christians – who have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. Because many who are called into our Lord’s Vineyard are busy preaching and teaching miracles, healing, money, definitions and philosophies of faith, marriage, child bearing  and such other benefits of the kingdom, even as the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. And in so doing they have largely succeeded at overthrowing the faith of many. And judgment is on the way for all those involved in this great error.  I speak by the Holy Ghost, I lie not. If any is contentious let him or her pray.

Men and brethren, when folks come into the kingdom of our heavenly Daddy primarily seeking the benefits of the kingdom, instead of the kingdom itself, they make a shipwreck of what salvation is all about. When preachers raise folks who throng churches for the benefits of the kingdom rather than for the kingdom life itself, they end up raising disciples, not of our Lord Jesus Christ, but of men and of women, and of their own doctrines and personal choices. And this is exactly the state of the church of Jesus Christ today.

 And by the express authority and mandate of the Holy Ghost, Whom many profess but scarcely know, I declare that today there are very very  few Disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ even in His own Church . If rapture takes place even we read this message, it will be a colossal calamity for the present Church. God forbid! Whosoever has ears to hear, let him or her hear what the Spirit of God is saying to the Church of now.

(In the next part, and by the grace of God, I will write on what our Lord Jesus Christ revealed to me when He appeared to me few days ago concerning the current state of His church on earth and what lies ahead. It was as compelling as it was humiliating, to say the least. Do please stir yourself to follow this message to the end. You will be glad you did.)

TOPIC: AND THIS MAN BEGAN TO BUILD, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO FINISH, (PART ONE)

-THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD-
“And there went great multitudes with our Lord Jesus Christ, and He turned and said unto them, “If any man come to Me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after Me, cannot be My disciple.

For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, and all that behold it begin to mock him, saying, this man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

So likewise he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple…LUKE 14: 25-33.


-WHAT I RECEIVED OF THE LORD CONCERNING THIS MATTER-
This gospel, if it must be of our Lord Jesus Christ and ordained by heaven, must be firmly founded on Matthew 6: 33, which says “But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” That is to say, that the essence of the true Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is heaven at last – every other thing is a mere addition.

Every sermon that must qualify as a doctrine of Christ must be that which points the unsaved to our Lord Jesus Christ, and then instructs the saved to a continuous and daily righteous and holy walk in God. Anything short of this is error. And the present Church is creaking under the weight of this error.

Brethren of the Lord, in the days of His flesh, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Whom I choose to subsequently address as my Master, lay bare what His gospel was all about. He referred to His doctrine as the kingdom of His Father, drawing strength from the entire scriptures, even from the ones already written and the ones yet to be written. Yes. Jesus did teach that which was later to be revealed, even up to the Book of Revelation. And He did that with utmost simplicity and grace. Hr preached the end even from the beginning because He also is the Word of God. Put correctly Jesus was what He preached, and what we must preach..

And later, when Master Jesus sent out His first disciples to preach, He strictly charged them to preach what He preached: that is, the kingdom of God, no more no less. He did also instruct them to heal the sick: but that must only follow if they that heard them also received them and their their message. My Master Jesus was clear about this matter – that whosoever would not receive and hear them was not worthy of further attention – that only those who heard and accepted them would qualify for whatever follows. And that has been His set standard for whosoever He sends to fish for souls, even as He has sent me and you.

That shows that the entire focus of the Gospel of Jesus Christ my Master, as He Himself preached it, and also as His first disciples also preached in the Acts of the Apostles, was the salvation of man, and thereafter the requirement that those that are saved must continue in Him Who saved them. Master Jesus came to make disciples of men and of women – those who are saved by Him and who also do continue in Him. Even though He healed people and performed miracles, but His principal focus was on the soul of folks, to reconcile folks again to our God, even to His Father.

Therefore, when His disciples returned from the preaching assignment, rejoicing that even demons were subject to them, as many do with impunity in our days, Master Jesus was quick to caution them. He warned them not to be carried away by the healing, miracles, signs and wonders that accompany the preaching of his word, as many are today. Rather, He reminded them if they must be excited, that they must only be excited in this very truth – that their names were still in the Lamb’s book of Life. And that expectation must be the only source of excitement and hope for any true believer.See the Book of Luke chapter ten, from verse Twelve to Nineteen.

People of God, in the days of His flesh, our Lord and my Master Jesus Christ, never preached money or the things of this life as a sermon, never. He never preached healing as a sermon. He never preached miracles as a sermon, never. His entire sermon centered on the souls of folks, and then on how those who are saved would continue in Him till the end. His motto was “If ye continue in My word, then ye are My disciples indeed". That when we know the truth, His truth, and walk in that truth we shall become free indeed.

And when He ascended to heaven, He also gave gifts of men to men – He released the five-fold ministries in order to help His disciples to step into His shoes.  And His first disciples did exactly that: they went to town with exactly what their Master and my Master preached, and changed their world. With that very Gospel and doctrine, they virtually turned their world up-side down. And because a servant cannot be above his master, whosoever claims that he or she is called by Master Jesus into any form of ministry, must of necessity also preach that which He Himself also preached - which is the kingdom of God. Anything short of that is perversion and wickedness and will not go unpunished,

Brethren, the reason for this historic message is this – that the ONLY heavenly ordained purpose of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is to save folks, and then commit those that are saved to live even as our Lord lives. That is the meaning of raising disciples of and for Jesus Christ. The sole target of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is to raise disciples for our Lord and for our Lord alone. Any deviation from this is a grave error that must have a certain consequence - eternal damnation.

The point being made in this message is this – that whosoever does not qualify as a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ will not make heaven at last.  Whosoever runs short of the requirements of heaven concerning discipleship of our Lord is not a candidate of heaven. And that is why very very few folks in the church of today are ready for rapture. And that is also why this message is urgent and compelling. I speak the mind of our Lord and I lie not.

(THIS MESSAGE MAY RUN UP TO FIVE PARTS DEPENDING THE EXPRESS LEADING OF THE HOLY GHOST. AND WHOSOEVER FOLLOWS IT TO THE END WILL NEVER REGRET DOING SO.)

TOPIC: VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU THAT ONE OF YOU SHALL BETRAY ME.

-THE WRITTEN WORD-
“Now the first day of the Feast of unleavened bread the Disciples came to Jesus, saying unto Him, where will Thou that we prepare for Thee for the Passover? And He said, go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, the Master saith My time is at hand, I will keep the Passover at thy house with My Disciples.

And the Disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover. Now when the even was come, He sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, He said, verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me. And they were exceeding sorrowful and began every one of them to say unto Him, Lord; is it I?

And He answered and said, he that dippeth his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me. The Son of man goeth as it written of Him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if he had not been born. Then Judas which betrayed Him, answered and said, Master, is it I. He said unto him, thou hast said”…MATTHEW 26: 17-25.



-THE RECEIVED WORD-
Recently, our Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me and began to discuss some matters arising in His Church, and how His people had fared so far. He also hinted on His second coming demanding that I should tell His people to be prepared for any eventuality - warning  that His second and final coming was nearer than any living or dead could ever imagine!

Master Jesus then opened a screen showing His journey from the Pilate’s judgment seat to the Cross of Calvary. He was hopelessly battered; much more than what is symbolized in that glorious film “The Passion of the Christ”. The screen also took me to the Cross itself, where our Savior showed the terrible agony He passed through when they were nailing Him to a very rugged Cross –  He was virtually weeping. It was such a sight – a sight that no word on earth can adequately describe - what our loving and darling Jesus Christ went through at the hands of sinners – for you and for me!

When the screen disappeared, our Lord and Savior turned to me, and pointedly instructed me to inform His people, that in spite of all that suffering, shame and pain, that He still loved them with the same love and the same passion that made Him to go to the Cross for them. He said that His arms are still very wide open to receive as many as are willing to come back unto Himself. He was expressing a very deep passion for souls He said that He died so that nobody should die the second death – that He went to the Cross in order to cross ALL over to heaven at last!

He then stated that in spite of His continuing and total commitment to save humanity from eternal destruction, that the world has totally turned its back on Him. He lamented that not many on earth still cared either for Him or for His love and passion for folks. When He talked of His people He was actually referring to mankind in general. He loves ALL.

As the Lord spoke to me, suddenly His countenance changed, and He became very sad indeed, very sad indeed – lamenting that most of His very own, the same folks He saved with His precious Blood, were now trampling upon all He did for them. And as He said that, a drop of tears fell from His eyes and dropped on the ground. And when that happened, the entire foundation of the earth shook violently, as in an earthquake situation. Even the bottomless pit, the abode of satan, was not spared! There was a shaking both in heaven and on earth. It was such a terrible experience.

Men and brethren, our Lord revealed a lot of things to me, some of them personal. But one notable thing He stressed is that some of us who claimed to be believers are indeed daily betraying Him. He said that many who profess Christianity are, by their illicit lifestyles, putting His name and the name of His Father into disrepute. He lamented that His Church is littered with sinners, compromisers and hypocrites. He revealed that many in His Church had turned to satan for help, and that the help they sought was for the things of this life!

Brethren, as some are reading this message, they would be asking themselves, “is it I?’, the same question that the Disciples of our Lord asked on that fateful Passover night. Some may even be struggling to find one excuse or the other for their sinful ways even as believers.

Some may also be trying to justify their compromising ways by citing some Scriptures without even realizing that the very scriptures they are referring to, which is the word of God, is another name for our Lord Jesus Christ! Some would be trying to pass blames – some to their parents, some to their wives and husbands, some even to their pastors! Some would even dare to comfort themselves with that satanic slang that “God understands!”.

But I have the mandate of our Lord Jesus Christ and the authority of our heavenly Father, to announce to all and sundry, that there shall be no excuses. I am sent to tell whoever is interested in this matter that our Lord will judge His people with same love with which He once saved them. Yes, He will judge us in righteousness – even in that very love He will tell some of us “depart from Me, I know you not; you workers of iniquity”. Beware!

Brethren, such is the nature of the love of God in Christ Jesus. The same passion that drove Christ to the Cross is the same passion with which He will judge the wicked and workers of iniquity – within and outside His Church.

Let no one be deceived, the love of God in Christ Jesus embraces the sinner but violently rejects and abhors sin and all appearances of sin. Therefore know it this very day, that if you return yet to the sins from which He saved you through His love, that same love will also reject you and cast you aside at the end.

It is therefore futile for workers of iniquity in the body of Christ to profess the love of Christ while continuing in sin and in all appearances of sin. I make bold to warn us that that very love that caused our heavenly Father to put up His only begotten Son to die a shameful and accursed death on Calvary, that same love, shall turn into a burning anger against all who trampled on that very love. This is the word of the living God.

The other day Master Jesus directed my attention to a publication on Yahoo news, of a vote in a certain Nation approving gay and lesbian marriage as part of the laws of that nation. Referring to that nation and others in similar dilemma, our Lord lamented that Nations He had so blessed and made the envies of the earth had gradually turned their backs at Him.

Master Jesus has thereby instructed me to warn that the scripture that says that “righteousness exalts a Nation and sin is a reproach to all” is already abroad against all such abominable Nations.  And when I dared to put in a comment to that very publication, the response I received from the public demonstrated to me, beyond all doubts, that many Nations of the earth are overripe for the righteous judgment of God.

People of God, the end of all things is nearer than when we first believed. The growing godlessness all over the world is as a result of last minute effort by satan to take as many folks as possible with him down to the lake that burns and never quenches. To him or her who has ears to hear, let him or her hear what the Spirit of the Lord is revealing to the people of the world in general and to the Church of Jesus Christ in particular.  To all I say, repent and live ready.
