SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY GIFT FROM ABOVE.

Today is marks exactly one calendar year since the vision of the Everlasting Gospel Church crystallized into a full fledged global gospel movement - a ministry founded and named by Jesus Christ Himself, with a mandate to change the world through godly love and the preaching of the everlasting gospel - and to bring the last but one revival to the body of Christ.

I was not going to say or do anything about this matter until about 8 pm this evening when our Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me and directed that I informed the world of this development and to bless the entire world.

Therefore in strict obedience to the voice of the Author and Finisher of our common faith, I release the blessings of God upon all who dwell on the face of the earth. .

And in the name of the same Jesus Christ I release all who are bound in sin and wickedness by satan and his forces. I bind satan and all his forces and cast them into the bottomless pit.

I loose the love of God into the hearts of folks world-wide, and cause righteousness and holiness to rest upon all humanity In Jesus name. Amen and Amen.

TOPIC: AND THIS MAN BEGAN TO BUILD AND WAS NOT ABLE TO FINISH. (PART 5 AND FINAL PART)

-THE WRITTEN WORD-
“Now, I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

And the God of peace shall bruise satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen….ROMANS 16: 17-20.


“The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age: they shall be fat and flourishing. To show that the Lord is upright: He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him”…..PSALM 92:12-15.



-THE RECEIVED WORD-
Brethren, the right attitude of a true Disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ is this: that “I will follow Jesus no matter the cost, and no going back”.That is the right attitude - to follow Him at all costs – whether good or “bad”. And it can never be bad following Him, especially to those who understand the mystery of heaven.

For whatever we may consider bad in our heavenly walk is a hidden treasure waiting to be revealed at last. The word bad in true Christian walk only stops in the flesh and no more – all that is considered negative in the life of a true Disciple are mere steps on his or her ladder to heaven. And without such steps our heavenly walk wil become a very slippery experience indeed. I need a witness in the house of our God.

The sole target of a true Disciple must be to live according to the perfect will of God at all times, and this urge is clearly expressed in this enduring phrase:  "Thy will be done O Lord".

Brethren, there is no character in the Bible whose story teaches us how to maximize the gains of this life, none. Every human story in the Bible is about how the man or the woman walked with or without God and what resulted from that. The only theme that the word of God brings to the world is the theme of reward for righteousness, holiness, diligence, service, obedience, patience. etc. And recompense to those who refused to follow the commandments of the Lord.

There is no theme in the Bible on how to be healed, how to obtain miracles, how to buy and sell, how to become rich, how to have children, etc. All these are secondary matters – matters that result from the principal things.

 Brethren, we are all created to serve God’s pleasure, even as unprofitable servants. Anything less than that is not of God and cannot stand the test of heaven.

For instance, the story of Abraham is not about his blessings, as many struggle to teach and even practice. The true story of Abraham is the story of faith, of obedience, of patience, of pursuit of God and not the pursuit of the things of God. It is all about his pursuit of God’s holiness and righteousness. Many in church of today are very much acquainted with the blessings of Abraham, and they chant, sing and claim them at the slightest opportunity. But very very few, both in the pulpit and in the pew, know in truth what Abraham really stands for. This is a great minus to the body of Christ.

It is a great disservice to God and to humanity for any preacher of this gospel to preach or teach that Abraham sought God for the blessings of this life. It is indeed a monumental error to even suggest that Abraham, in seeking God, ever considered his living standards.

Let it be known to all who love our Lord and His appearing, that when Abraham left his people in answer to God’s call,  he was not a poor man by any definition. He left a people who were prospering just as the folks of his time. But he left them in any case. He left them for a better life, but not as the world gives, but as heaven offers. He left his people to seek God, to seek God and the city whose Maker and Builder is God, He left his people to seek heaven at last. And as he pursued God and eternal life, God blessed him with what he was not seeking, even all the good things of this life, and eternal life.

 Have you not read in Hebrews chapter 11, from verse 6 to 8, that “By faith, when Abraham was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise. For he looked for a city whose Builder and Maker is God”? That is true story of Abraham. And that must of necessity be the story of every true Disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Brethren, contrary to perverset and covetous teachings, even King Solomon did not seek God for money or indeed for any of the things of this life. Rather he sought God for wisdom, godly wisdom – the wisdom that leads to eternal life. And in giving him wisdom, God added that which Solomon never sought for – even the things of this life.

Sadly enough Solomon allowed himself to be guided, not by that which he sought, which was godly wisdom, but by the riches of this life, and in so doing he ended up corrupting the legacy and testimony of David his father. And by the time Solomon came to himself, and beheld all his wealth and influence, he rubbished all with that glorious and life-giving  phrase: “vanity upon vanity, all is vanity”.

Are you one of the preachers or teachers of this gospel teaching or preaching vanity upon vanities as the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ? Are you amongst those in church seeking vanity upon vanities instead of seeking eternal life? Have you yet not read that the glory of this life passeth away? Why do you teach men and women to pursue that which will soon leave them? Why do you weep and cry all night seeking for that which is temporary and fleeting?

Why must you weary God with endless tears because you lack one thing of this life or the other? How many folks in Church of today ever weep at night because they thirst for eternal life? Why all this sorrow all over the place?  Many believing folks are either weeping to have just a child, while some are weeping for more children. Some are weeping even for children of a particular sex! Some are weeping because of food, clothing, car, house, just name it. The feet of our Lord are flowing with tears, not of those thirsting after Him and after His righteousness, but of those who are seeking the things of this life.

Have you not read that those who thirst and seek after righteousness shall be filled? What are we thirsting for people of God? What seekest thou o man, what seekest thou o woman?

 Examine yourselves whether you are still in this faith. For the days draw near when those who are married would be as if they never married at all, and those that have the things of this life as if they have nothing - for the glory of this life passeth away. What will it profit you if you gain all that is in this life and end up in hell fire, where the fire quencheth not and their worm dieth not?

Brethren, there is nothing sinful in a believer possessing the good things of this life. But in so doing, we must live as pilgrims on earth that we are. We must live with our focus on the Author and Finisher of our common faith – we must live per day, we must live ready – for we can never tell the hour and the time our Lord will come to take His people home. Even when He is not coming for all, He may as well come for you, or for me, and that without notice.

People of God, it is high time we started raising true Disciple of Christ through proper teachings. We must bring folks to Christ on one reason and on one reason alone – that they may make heaven at last. All other things are mere additions and must be taught as such. We must be bold and courageous enough to tell folks, that apart from the salvation of their souls that the other things they are seeking may not even come their way at all. And  that whether they received other things from God or not, that ALL their focus and hope must be on heaven at last.

Brethren, let us consider Psalm 1, particularly verses 1 and 2 thereof. There the Psalmist spells out the essence of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ – which is to teach believers not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor to stand on the path of sinners, but to flee from the seat of the scornful. That is verse one.

 In verse two of the same Psalm 1, the scripture further enjoins the believer to continually delight his or herself, in the written and daily commandments of our Lord, that is, to obey them willfully. And not only to obey our God, but also to meditate on the word of God day in day out. And, according to the rest of that particular Psalm, when the believer is careful to abide by these instructions, what follows next are there for all to see – abundance of all things, even long life, even life everlasting.

It is therefore a great error with eternal consequences, for preachers of this gospel to preach the things that follow verses one and two of Psalm 1 as the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a great disservice to God and to humanity for those called by God to lead His people back to Him to begin to misdirect the same people, to cause them to wonder into covetous and lustful ways at the expense of sound doctrine, even at the expense of eternal life.

Brethren, many have started this Christian journey with great excitement but are finishing as servants of satan, even as enemies of righteousness. And the reason is largely due to wrong and pervasive doctrinal teachings. Many are coming to the Lord for so many reasons other than to make Him Lord and personal Savior.

Many are in the Lord for many reasons other than to live a life that pleases God and make heaven at last. Many in the Church of today scarcely qualify as Disciples of our Lord, both in the pulpit and the pew. And unless one is thus qualified, heaven at last remains as elusive as wind.

I have written it as the Lord directed that I should. The message has run for almost a month covering five parts. It is now up to all and sundry to consider their ways and apply their hearts to godly wisdom. It is not time for criticism or cheap blackmail. It is not time to measure spiritual heights. It is rather a time for sober reflections - for our salvation has suddenly become even much more nearer than when we first believed.

What I say to one is what I say to all – keep praying and keep watching. Do not be taken unawares.

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

-THE WRITTEN WORD-
“Wherefore I take you to record this day that I am pure from the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood.

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things; to draw away disciples after them.”



-THE RECIVED WORD-
Men and brethren, the true Church of our Lord Jesus Christ must of necessity be founded on the Apostles and the prophets, and our Lord standing as the Chief Cornerstone. Any gathering that does not meet this basic heavenly requirement cannot produce credible Disciples of our Lord.

Any Christian organization or meeting or gathering that does not meet the standards of the prophets of old, and of the first Apostles of Christ, that gathering or meeting cannot produce a true disciple of Christ. Put simply, any church that does not meet the standard of the Church in the Acts of the Apostles, cannot raise true Disciples of Christ.

People of God, a true church that must produce a true Disciple of Christ must be that which teaches and practices the entire counsel of God. The entire counsel of God runs from Genesis to Revelation. Therefore it is grave error for us to categorize or classify ministries of our Lord Jesus Christ i terms of what one is called to preach or to teach. Every calling in Christ is a calling unto the entire counsel of God.

 Brethren of our Lord, as far as heaven is concerned, there is no such calling as apostles of holiness, apostles of prosperity, apostles of faith, apostles of business ethics, apostles of healing, apostles of miracles - apostles of this or apostles of that. All such titles are expressions of the traditions of men. Whether called as an apostle or not, every calling in Christ is a calling unto all righteousness, unto all holiness – even of our Lord Jesus Christ. Whoever therefore claims that he or she is called as an apostle or preacher of one principle of the Bible or the other is walking in manifest error. And such an error cannot make a true Disciple out of folks..

When we preach miracles, healing, child bearing, principles of faith, financial and material prosperity, etc. as the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and then end the message with what some call salvation message, we are in grave error. The true gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is in its entirety His salvation message, which runs from Genesis to Revelation. It is the only message acceptable in heaven.

We are called to preach Christ and Him crucified - no more no less. It is the only gospel that meets the entire counsel of our God. It is the only gospel that can produce a true Disciple of Christ. If you doubt me, search the Acts of the Apostles. The Apostles preached Christ, the entire counsel of God, and were able to raise true Disciples that carried the true Gospel all over the world. Search yourselves whether you are still in the ministry the Lord called you into.

The true Gospel must be about Christ and about Him alone, whether it is taken from the book of Revelation or from any other book of the Bible for that matter.  And that is the only Gospel that can raise true disciples of our Lord. The role of the Holy Ghost in the Church of Jesus is as the Enforcer of the words of Master Jesus. The Holy Ghost does not expect folks to preach Him as a sermon There is no such sermon in heaven.

When we preach and teach miracles, healing, money, principles of faith, buying and selling, child bearing, etc, as the gospel of Christ, we become as those Apostle Paul described in today’s scripture as grievous wolves – and there are many of such on our today’s pulpits.

Many, in the church of today, are not true Disciples of our Lord. They came into Church but not into Christ. They entered by the wrong way and not by the Way, the Truth, Who is Christ Jesus. They entered through false and perverted messages. They come to Church seeking Christ, but were introduced to Him, not as their Savior and their lives, but rather as a Healer, as miracle Worker, a Giver of wealth and many other such things. Very few in church of today know our Lord as the the only Life available to mankind. Very few folks in today’s church are walking in the Lord, even with His life and in His ways.

Very few in Church of today worship God because they love Him with all their heart and with all their soul, etc. Many just worship God for one thing or the other, for one reason or the other. And such cannot be described as true Disciples of our Lord. And some preachers and teachers of the gospel are responsible for this tragic situation.

Brethren, believe it or not, very few folks would make heaven if rapture takes place even as I write this message. The Church of Jesus Christ has been so perverted by satan and by the sleighs of men and of women that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the way to heaven in many of our Churches. Many in churches are finding ways to make money, to live healthy, to have children, to live a secure life in an insecure world. But very very few folks in church are finding the way to heaven on a daily basis.

Brethren of the Lord, salvation is free but it costs something to retain it. To remain truly saved must cost us ourselves, all of ourselves. And if need be it must also cost us our lives that we may live. That is true Discipleship in Christ.

The thief satan is determined to make sure that heaven is inhabited by as few folks as possible.Satan is determined to show our God that it was a costly mistake casting him out of heaven. Satan is determined to frustrate the purpose and plan of God in salvation. And satan is finding ready tools in many who are called by our Lord to lead to His people to Himself. This is very sad indeed.

Brethren, if not for the mercies of our God which endures forever, and His compassion that faileth not, not a single soul in our today’s church will make heaven at last, not one.  But our loving Daddy has stretched His mercies to accommodate as many as possible into His eternal rest. yet many are determined to go the way of Balaam.

The wider the Lord stretches His arms to receive folks unto Himself, the farther they run from Him. Almost everybody in Church is seeking one thing or the other. And when I say everybody I mean everybody. Very very few are seeking our God in spirit and in truth – from the pulpit to the pew.

Brethren, the gifts of the Holy Ghost, which includes healing and working of miracles, are given to back-up our sermons; they are not given to be preached as sermons. It is expected from heaven when we preach the true word of God, then heaven would back up such teaching with signs following, even the gifts of the Holy Ghost.

The expectation of heaven is that folks should come to the Lord with ALL their focus on making heaven at last. And as they walk out their salvation daily with much trembling, all the good things of this life shall be added to them even as the Lord wills.

Yes, as He wills, because surprisingly, not everybody must be healed, not everybody must be rich, not everybody must receive miracles – it all depends on the perfect will of God per time. The only important thing is that our names remain in the Lamb’s Book of Life until we shed our earthly tabernacle. That is all that matters – every other is secondary and fleeting.

To raise our concerts as true Disciples of Christ, we must teach them how to continue in our Lord, in season and out of season, and at all costs. We must endeavor to teach believing folks how to walk in the fruits of the Spirit, especially in Love – for the love of God is the perfection of all things. We must teach them to bear one another’s burden and in so doing fulfill the laws of Christ.
We must teach them to live by faith, that is, to live strictly by the word of God.

We must teach them to serve the Lord with diligence and with excitement – expecting nothing but heaven at last. We must teach them to be prepared to follow Jesus at ALL costs - “for better and for worse”, as it were. We must teach them the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. We must show and lead them on the ONLY Way that leads to heaven, which Way is our Lord Jesus Christ.

To him or her that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him or her it is counted as sin.

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

-THE WRITTEN WORD-
“And one of the company said unto Him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And He (my Master) said unto him, man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you? And He said unto them, take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

And He spake a parable unto them saying, the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully; and he thought within himself, saying, what shall I do because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, this will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater, and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

And I will say to my soul, soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years: take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God”….LUKE 12:13-21.




-WHAT I RECEIVED OF THE HOLY GHOST CONCERNING THIS MATTER-
Recently, our Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me in a vision and showed me a picture of His church on earth. In that striking vision, all the churches on earth were represented as trees, and all of them were standing in the midst of this great and sparkling river. That is to say that all of them have more than sufficient moisture to thrive in season and out of season.

But the reverse is the case. What I saw were trees whose leaves were either withering and falling off, or trees whose leaves had withered and totally fallen off leaving empty branches. For some, even their branches have totally dried up and wrinkled. I did also see virtually and hopelessly dead trees. I DID NOT SEE A SINGLE TREE STANDING WITHOUT ONE BLEMISH OR THE OTHER. And the irony is that all the trees were firmly standing in the midst of a very crystal river!

I was astonished by what I saw. And I asked Master Jesus what was happening. And He replied that that was the state of His Church on earth at the moment. He lamented that many of the folks He commissioned to save souls have turned unto so many things that have little or nothing to do with the souls of folks.

First, He said that there are many in the field that He never called into any of the five-fold ministries, yet they are busy establishing churches and without the consequential grace that accompanies the called.He said that those folks called themselves into ministry, and that they will have a lot to tell the Lord on that day.

He then pointed out that, even amongst those He called, that many are preaching so many things as His Gospel; such as money, corporate lifestyle, business tactics, miracles, child bearing, marriage, courtship, buying and selling, politics and other matters of this life as His gospel. And that the result is that they are not raising His disciples, and cannot; but rather are busy raising but disciples of their own doctrines and traditions.

Our Lord then pointed at millions who flood our Churches daily, and lamented that majority of that crowd is hopelessly hell-bound. In some cases, according to Him, not even a single person is heading to heaven amongst millions attending a particular popular crusade - not a single soul, including all the preachers in attendance! And the irony is that at the end of such programs the ministries involved would grow richer financially and even more popular - all at the expense of what true ministry is all about - at the expense of the souls of millions of folks.

Our Lord Jesus Christ further revealed to me that majority of folks who throng “great” church programs go there largely to seek either for healing, children, money, power, protection, etc. That some also throng such gatherings to search for husbands and for wives. In most cases, according to our Master, not even a single person in attendance in such meetings is there to seek Him and what He truly represents - to seek God’s righteousness and holiness. Almost everybody in today’s church is there to seek for the good things of this life, just as the unfortunate man in our today’s scripture.

Master Jesus referred also to the title of such crusades and programs, lamenting that the preachers involved often entice folks with titles that suggest the abundance of the things of this life in such meetings. And when the folks gather, they scarcely listened to the sermon except the aspect that deals with their purpose for attending such meetings. Everybody is out to secure as much of life’s bounties as possible – at the expense of their souls.

 Some also gather in church as of custom – as it has become customary for them to be in church – day in day out - ever learning but never coming to the knowledge of our true God. Some gather to make friends, socialize and fraternize. Some gather to consolidate their racial and cultural identities.To some, church has replaced their night clubs, but only in terms of absence of alcoholic drinks. Every other thing is available!

Some gather in “church” to discuss business or to meet future business partners. Some even gather to meet fellow cult members! Some gather to showcase fashion, hairstyle, vogue and all manners of worldliness. And as they thus gather, the Holy Ghost would be watching them, and heaven would be taking note. And that is why God has ordained it from the beginning that eternal judgment will start right inside the church of Jesus Christ.

Let us not forget that Master Jesus once accused the Pharisees and the Scribes of taking pains to make converts, and that when they eventually did they ended up making those “converts” worse than they were before they met them!  And that is exactly what obtains in most of our today’s “church”. Many churches are out in the streets seeking for souls, but when they eventually get the souls they end up making such souls worse even than they were before they met them. This may seem so harsh, but it is a practical reality and heaven is in great distress about this because of the scale of it.

Some close “church” services sharing alcoholic drinks, some share boyfriends and girlfriends. Some even dare to drum and dance all manners of seductive music all in the name of
worshiping our holy God. Indeed the present church is a corrupted version of the church we know in the Acts of the Apostles, and consequences must surely follow. Hell has opened its mouth wide to devour. God forbid!

Our present Church pulpits are reeling under the weight of hypocrites, liars, thieves, gays and lesbians, covetous men and women and enemies of righteousness. Some of our preachers claim that our Lord has sent them to make marriages as church, to run business schools as church, to run the school of theories of faith as church! Some even call themselves singles and married churches! Some even speak of modern church, and perhaps a modern Christ also! Perversion in the highest order.

Some claim that the Lord has sent them as “deliverance minsters”, to pastor deliverance churches., and they keep delivering folks - endless deliverance, and from forces that our Lord has firmly put under the feet of His true worshipers. The tragedy of these “deliverance ministers” is that they scarcely deliver folks from sin, which is the ONLY deliverance required by heaven. For when one is delivered from sin, the evil one will scarcely have access to him or to her!

The Church of Jesus Christ is in crisis of identity. And just as Master Jesus cast out all that sold doves from the Temple, He has arisen again to also cast out all who sell doves in His house, as well as those who have turned His house into a den of thieves and robbers. Those who have turned the church of Jesus Christ into commercial centers will not be spared. Those who have turned the house of our Lord into fashion houses will not be spared. Those who have turned My Master’s house into a gathering of pleasure seekers will not be spared. There shall be a thorough cleansing. And it has already begun.

But this time around no horse whips shall be applied. But the Holy Ghost Himself, Whom some erroneously tag ‘gentle”, will purge the church with fire. Whoever has truly encountered the Holy Ghost will never describe Him as gentle. He is a Refiner, a Purger, a Cleanser – with zero tolerance for sin and sinful pleasures. Worldliness of all manners is totally unacceptable to the Holy Spirit. Indeed, when the Holy Ghost moves satan and all his forces flee.

Therefore, those who take sinful pleasure in chanting “Holy Ghost, Holy Ghost” and yet condone, aid and tolerate sin, compromise and all manners of worldliness, are just as the Sons of Sceva as described in Acts of The Apostles Chapter 19. They call Him but they scarcely know Him. There are many seducing spirits operating in many ministries which many mistake as the Holy Ghost, many. The Holy Ghost is the epitome of holiness and righteousness – He is the symbol of heavenly purity. He is the Spirit of God, and He also is the Spirit of Master Jesus! This also is a mystery of godliness!

And The Holy Ghost is moving already, in such a way as He has never done since the days of the first Apostles. He is out to restore sanity to the body of Christ, and to pave the way for as many as possible to join the hitherto empty trains that are heading to heaven for the celebration of the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

And what I say to one is what I say to all, keep watching and keep praying.

(IN PART FOUR, AND HOPEFULLY THE FINAL PART, THE LORD WILL GIVE DIRECTION AS TO WHAT HIS CHURCH MUST DO IN ORDER TO SALVAGE ITSELF. HE WILL OPEN THE SCRIPTURES TO HIS PEOPLE AND SHOW US HOW TO RAISE DISCIPLES OF HIM AND FOR HIM. DO NOT MISS IT.)
