AT SUCH A TIME AS THIS.
What Jesus Said.
In Matthew 23:15, Jesus, lamenting, said, “ woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him two-fold more the child of hell than yourselves”.
What Folks Do In Today's Church.
Sadly, the same woe is also abroad against some folks in today’s church.
These are folks who take, some times, take great pains and risk, to reach the unreached with the gospel; but only to end up filling their hearers with corrupted and personalized versions of the gospel.
Our dispensation has become a case of those who convert folks unto Christ; but at the same time encourage their converts to continue in the very sins from which they had been saved. They lie to their converts that the grace of Christ would shield them, no matter what: that God loved them so much not to allow any of them to enter hell fire, no matter the type of lives they lived thereafter.
Grace According to Men.
And they call this the gospel of grace. Some call theirs merger grace. But the true name is the gospel of compromise: of sensuality, of the flesh - the gospel of devils.
The same trend obtains on most of our pulpits worldwide. Day by day, our Lord Jesus Christ sends out men and women into the world: to preach His doctrines to the unsaved, to get folks saved unto His Father, and to show the saved how to retain that which they have received: that they may make heaven at last.
But some of these preachers, after getting folks saved, would turn around to tell the same saved folks, that the salvation they have just received would now enable them to continue in sin, if they chose, “being freely justified” by Christ!
They cajole these believers into believing that once one is saved, he or she is forever saved, sin or no sin. They usually cite some handful of scriptures as their authority, especially some verses of the biblical book of Romans.
Whenever these preachers of error are confronted with the entire counsel of God, they would quickly resort to either the Greek, Hebrew, or other original texts of the scriptures, searching furiously but fruitlessly for words and phrases to justify their error.
What They Have Done To His Church.
Such is the disgraceful and shameful state of the gospel in our time. Such is the worldly face of the today’s church. And this is worldwide.
This form of gospel they call “grace” comes in different shades of opinions. Some teach that a believer cannot sin, or, perhaps, if he ever does, that only his flesh would be involved. Some claim that the spirit of the believer is saved forever, to make heaven at last, sin or no sin.
Some also tell their hearers that Christ died to inherit the sins committed by believers after salvation! They call Christ “their advocates in sin”. To some, this their grace shields believers from the eternal consequences of the sins they commit after salvation.
Some of these messengers of God, who have, by their own election and appetite, become their own messengers, also tell their hearers, that indeed there is no hell fire: that even if there were to be, that God “is too loving” to send folks there, for any reasons whatsoever.
The State Of Most Believers Worldwide.
Owing to the widespread nature of these erroneous teachings and practices, many have come to Christ; only to continue in their ungodly lifestyles, and lying to themselves that one day they would stumble into heaven.
Sadly, most of these erring folks are victims of false, perverted and slanted teachings, and corrupted biblical annotations, sustained over the years.
The Consequences Of Teaching and Living In Error.
And all who teach these strange and ungodly doctrines as the gospel of Jesus Christ, only succeed in making themselves enemies of His Cross. What they are doing, consciously or unconsciously, is trying to crucify the Lord the second time. And the consequences of such that are there for all to see.
And the only option, open to whosoever is involved in this charade, is to repent, and to do so urgently; because the very next moment may be too late.
The worst thing that can happen to a sinning believer, is to refuse to repent, and instead, find protection in that vile and ungodly phrase, “you are judging me”. That is a phrase developed and nurtured by enemies of righteousness. But they shall proceed no further.
Truth About Justification.
Let it be known to all who name the name of the Lord, that only God, the Creator of the ends of the ends of the earth, is justified, at all times and in all circumstances. Not even angels of God are so justified. That is why satan and some other angels fell.
Do not believe that man or woman who peddles “justification” before you as a shield for your sinful ways, even as a believer. He or she is up to no good.
The justification of the believer is a one-off provision from God: to clear one of all PAST sinful deeds and consequences thereof, and then make the person just before Him. It wipes away, not only our past sins; but also presents us before God as if we never ever sinned from birth! That is justification as provided by God.
God’s own justification ONLY covers our sins prior to, or before, redemption. The justification according to men shields believers from sins committed after salvation.
Any believer who continues in sin after salvation, whosoever it may be, will face the full consequences thereof. This is the word of the living God, and this also is the full counsel of God concerning the saved.
Preach Only The Doctrine Of Christ.
Whosoever, Christ sends into the world, as a preacher of this gospel, has only one mandate: to preach His doctrines, even as He preached in the days of His flesh.
There are therefore, no such things as the doctrines of Paul, of Peter, of James, of John, or indeed of any other writers of this gospel. Whatever is written in the Bible, or received by revelation, concerning this gospel, can only stand the test of heaven, if and only if, it strictly accords with the doctrines of Christ.
It was our Lord Jesus Christ Who died, Who is also risen, and Who is seated at the right of His Father. He purchased His salvation and His gospel with His Own blood.
Whosoever teaches anything contrary to what the same Jesus taught, even in the days of His flesh; whether it be Paul, or Peter, or James, or John, or indeed whosoever, that teaching must not stand.
But thanks be to God; because there are no such contrary teachings, either in the epistles, or indeed, in any other part of the Bible: except, as we see today, teachings resulting from erroneous annotations in the bible, and from dubious and personalized interpretations of simple words of the scriptures by self-seeking preachers.
Why "Other Religions" Are Prevailing.
That “other religions”, (Christianity is not a religion), are overtaking Christianity world-wide, is a clear manifestation of the hunger in folks worldwide, to live decently, even in an increasingly perverse and wicked world. It is the result of desperate moves by many to satisfy that hunger, the hunger to live, with at least some level morality, in a depraved world.
And no doubt, many are increasingly finding comfort in those “other religions”; because, most of these “other religions” do actually offer some semblance of morality – the morality that is strangely lacking in most who profess Christ worldwide.
Simply put, the world has weighed many who claim that they are Christians and ministers of Christ and found them wanting. They have found out, that so many that are not saved, are even much more morally conscious than many that call themselves Christians and ministers of the gospel.
The world has slowly discovered that most of what many believing folks call Christianity today are empty “confessions of faith”, not in the least backed by any evidence of godliness.
God Is No Respecter Of Persons.
Therefore, whosoever you are, wheresoever you may be, and whatsoever title you may have in church, know it this very day, that God is not a respecter of persons: or of nations, or of tribes, or of races, or of languages, or of cultures, or of colors, or of experience in spiritual things or whatsoever.
The standard of heaven remains sure and certain: that whosoever that names the name of Christ must depart from iniquity. And the second is also like it: that every soul that sinneth shall die.
The will of God in His Christ, is this: that folks be saved that they may go and sin no more. That was why He sacrificed His only begotten Son. That is His true love in manifestation.
Many in today’s church are trampling on the word and person of God, even with impunity. Many are toiling with sin and compromise, yet shouting, grace, grace. Many are tempting the patience of our God.
Sin Is Forever A Reproach To All.
There is no place for sin or compromise in heaven. Nothing and nobody that offends will make haven at last. The eyes of our God cannot behold sin.
Forsake sin and all its appearances today that you may begin your journey to heaven.
The road to heaven is very narrow, slippery and full of thorns and thistles. It is also full of satanic traps. Do not allow yourself to be snared into these traps by those already trapped therein.
But, what is sin, some may ask, even in hypocrisy? Well, for the avoidance of doubt, all unrighteousness is sin. Whatsoever God says is sinful is sinful without more. Whatsoever is written in the scriptures to be sinful is sinful.
Whatsoever is not of faith, that is, whatsoever is against the word and commandments of God, is sinful. And all that do such, and fail to repent before death, shall inherit eternal damnation. Many are already there and many are helplessly headed there even as I write.
Being A Faithful Watchman.
Do not say you were not warned. This message, and more like it, will testify against you that day: if you die in your sins and compromising lifestyles, claiming that you are the righteousness of Christ.
Salvation is a means and not an end. It is only the very beginning of ones journey to heaven. Anything can happen on the way, as it has been happening right from the day of the atonement of Christ..
We all live per moment. Anything can happen at any moment in time. And the next moment may be too late. Once one dies, the next assignment is to face judgment. And none can escape it.
And there shall be no excuses, none.
The grace of God is available to help the saved to live above sin: do not use it as a cloak to continue in sin.
Hell fire is as real as life and death themselves. Hell fire is so terrible that you will not even desire your worst enemy, if you still have one, to end up there.
And by the grace of God, none of those reading this message will end up hell fire, in Jesus name.
God's Grace Enables Us To Live Righteously.
To you that is not saved, repent today, that grace may be granted you, to go and sin no more, and to eventually make heaven at last. And to you that is redeemed, depart from sin and all appearances of sin, that it may be well with you, and that ye may make heaven at last.
Theology will not deliver any, neither rational argument. Picking some verses of the Bible and turning them into indulging doctrines will not avail any. The only way to heaven is the full counsel of God – from Genesis to Revelation.
The Apostolic Charge.
I therefore charge all that believe worldwide: to not only flee from sin, but much more also, to flee from every man or woman who encourages believing folks, in any manner whatsoever, to continue in sin that the grace of God may abound. Flee for your life: tarry not, lest you perish with him or her.
And for those who peddle pervasive doctrines all over the world,, I pray the everlasting Father, in Whose hand is the heart of all, to touch them, to show them mercy, and to give each of them another chance.
Do You Have Blood In Your Hands?
Apostle Paul once reminded believers, that we all, shall, through much tribulation, enter heaven. That is wisdom from above. He also declared, before the Ephesian elders, that he would appear before Christ without blood in his hands: because, according to him, he had not shunned to teach folks the whole counsel of God.
Look at your own very hands, examine them carefully: do you have men’s blood in your hands? Have you striven to teach folks the whole counsel of God? Consider this and apply your heart to true wisdom.
Believe And Be Delivered.
To him or her that has ears to hear let him or her hear what the everlasting Father is saying to the Church, and to all of His creation; at such a time as this!
