GOD'S PERFECT WILL IS SALVATION FOR ALL.
TOPIC: GOD’S PERFECT WILL IS SALVATION FOR ALL.
THE-WRITTEN-WORD-OF-GOD..
“Exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men: for kings, and for all that are in authority, that we may lead a peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”..1st Timothy 2: 1-3.
“Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? Saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways and live?...Ezekiel 18:23.
“For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth in Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”….Romans 10:11-13.
THE-REVEALED-WORD-OF-GOD.
The original intention of God in Adam and in Eve was enduring fellowship: that man may live forever, and continually give Him pleasure. And from the day Adam and Eve fell, till the present hour, that original intention remains unchanged in the heart of God.
Therefore, God’s enduring desire, even His perfect will, has been, and will always be, that one day, all would be saved and come to knowledge of the Truth. And that Truth is His only begotten Son Jesus Christ.
God loves His creation; because His is love personified. But His kind of love is not the love of men. His love is beyond human understanding: always abiding, and thrives even when He judges. We may venture to call it righteous love.
The perfect will of God is salvation for all: that all humans be saved. He has no pleasure in the death even of the wicked. He desires constant fellowship with man. If you have ever come close enough to God you will appreciate what is being revealed.
God’s thoughts of His creation is beyond human comprehension: always desiring our good, even when we are running away from Him. He loves to see us enjoy all He has provided or us. He desires to see all saved in His Christ. And just as heaven rejoices at the salvation of even a single soul, so also heaven mourns the death of a single wicked soul.
The-Garden-Of Eden--Still-Awaits-Man’s-Return.
God’s earnest desire is that man returns to the Garden of Eden again. That Garden is still very much intact, heavily guarded by fierce looking angels, but almost overgrown with weeds, for reasons you know. But when man returns to the Garden, it would no longer be just to tend to it and enjoy the fruits thereof. When man returns to the Garden, he will return in God’s purity, holiness and righteousness. He will return in perfection………be ye perfect even as I am also perfect, says the Lord.
God’s-Love-In-Manifestation.
God demonstrated His perfect love for man, when He allowed His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross, even like a thief. It was all in God’s desire to restore man to Hs original intention at creation. And beyond the Cross, God went further to ordain that whosoever shall call upon the name of that His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, shall be saved, whosoever.
Men and brethren, salvation is of utmost importance to God. That is why the repentance of just one soul brings inexplicable joy to heaven. And if the redemption of one soul brings such joy to heaven, we can then imagine the mood of heaven when hundreds, or thousands, or even millions, of folks genuinely come to the Lord!
The heart of God pants after His creation for good, and not for evil: to give us a future and a hope. That is why no matter how far any has gone into iniquity, even upon iniquity; yet His arms are always wide open to welcome that person into His kingdom and at any time. That is the God we serve – the Everlasting Father
God's-Heart-Beat-Revealed.
People of God, God does not desire that any should perish. He does not take pleasure in the death of any, even of the wicked. He never does. That is why He sent His Christ to die for us , even while we were yet sinners. And when Christ died, He died for all.
God’s intention was and remains, that we should fear Him and live. And He is not a respecter of nations, races, tribes, or status. In every nation, whosoever works righteousness is accepted by Him - in every nation.
Whatever we see in the Old Testament that seems to depict God as wicked are indeed His only way to maintain sanity in His creation: to save man from himself. All were manifestations of His kind of love: the love that works with justice and with judgment. He meant well, and always means well. Therefore, never allow yourself the sinful pleasure of holding anything against Him, whatever it is. Never.
Men and brethren, one of the secrets of heaven is that all who had to destroy human lives in order to enforce His will acted within His permissive will. Heaven would have preferred that all those who so perished were saved and reconciled to God.
All forms of shedding of human blood is grievous in the sight of God. And any man or woman who has shed human blood, for whatever reason, must approach His throne with great caution. We must not readily forget that God denied King David the privilege of building a house for Him because He saw much blood in the hands of the same man He once described as a man after His heart! That is God for you.
Yes, God did aid His people of old to win battles, and even slaughter their enemies. Yet human destruction is not His perfect will. He will always do all that He would to deliver even those He Himself has marked for destruction. That is the inner heart beat of our heavenly Father; which He evidently manifested in the atonement of His Christ.
As-God-Sent-Master Jesus-So-He-Sent-Us-His Servants
Brethren, our Lord Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith, the able Commander of the Lord’s great army, sends His gospel ministers even as His Father sent Him:: to save and not to destroy men’s lives. Therefore, none of us, ministers and brethren alike, have the divine mandate to destroy men’s lives.
We are saved to save others: we are called to perfect the saints. None of us is sent to call down fire to destroy even the wicked. Even the prophet we claim to imitate, Elijah the Tishbite, did not call down fire to destroy men’s lives. Study your Bible before you make a shipwreck of the lives of folks you are sent to save.
A believer must not be heard praying for the death of folks, no matter what their offences may be. Whenever we pray for the death of others, no matter their level of iniquity, at best, we come under the permissive will of God. And the permissive will of God will always lead to satanic intervention. If you have ears to hear, hear.
We must not rejoice at the death of others, no matter what they have done. God does not so rejoice. And if ye be His true son or daughter, you must also come to the same understanding.
The perfect will of God is, and will forever be, that all be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Some of the things you are reading, and will yet read, will no doubt, sound strange even to the very elect. Yet they are true. I am revealing the heartbeat of God, our heavenly Father – the Creator of the ends of the earth. I am revealing why He desired that we also be perfect even as He Himself is also perfect.
Rejoice-Not-At-The-Death-Of-The-Wicked.
Every now and then I hear, even believing folks, rejoicing at the death of or a calamity that befell their so-called enemies! They even give testimonies in churches of such. And often times the whole congregation would rejoice with them. But heaven does not so rejoice. Such testimonies bring much discomfort to the Holy Ghost.
The perfect will of God is salvation for all. Our rejoicing at the calamity that befalls others shows why God insists that we must be perfect even as He Himself is also perfect. Begin today to strive towards that perfection. It is possible, because He said so.
God once gave me a message titled, “Vengeance Is Mine, Says The Lord”. Please go to my pages on internet and study that message, and apply your hearts to it. Your insisting that the unrepentant wicked must pay for his or her offences is the more reason God insists that you must be perfect even as He Himself is also perfect.
Every-Soul-Is-Important-To-God – Every-Soul.
Therefore, I will begin to encourage believing folks world wide, to cease from asking God to kill this person or that person. Stop praying that your enemies be destroyed. such desire is not of God and comes from an imperfect heart. God is not like that. And the strange thing is this, He may answer you: but He will yet turn back and hold you to account. He has sent us, not to destroy men’s souls but to save them.
Every believer is a watchman unto the Lord. None of us has His mandate to destroy. All forms of vengeance is God’s and His alone. May I ask us: supposing Saul, who later became Paul, was destroyed in the days when He was about persecuting Christians, would he have had the opportunity to run such a glorious ministry, and make heaven at last?
Therefore, if Paul, of all people, even you, even I, must be saved, who must not be saved? Why must you stop others from being saved? Search your hearts and apply your hearts to true wisdom.
Judgment-Is-For-God-And-For-Him-Alone.
Let me remind us, that God created all folks good. See Genesis 1:31. All that God created was good. It was satan who corrupted folks, even in Adam and in Eve. And God held both to account. Yet only Him and Him alone, can pass such judgment. It does not lie in the mouth of the living to pass judgment on God’s creation. Beware.
Do you know that God frowns at us when we judge folks by their past actions? That may sound strange to you. But the heavenly truth is that only God the Father, even amongst the Trinity, has the exclusive right to judge a man or woman based on that person’s past.
As a child of God, He expects you to deal with folks around you based on present perceptions, not their antecedents. We must not be heard insisting that someone did this or that in the past. That past belongs to God and to Him alone. We must only see folks from what they are now, and not on what they were even just a moment ago.
This is where forgiveness comes in. Forgiveness is not a choice: it is mandatory, if we must make heaven at last. And forgiveness is in place when we have relieved the person involved of all responsibilities. And when I say all I mean all. And we must not take whatever that person did into consideration when we relate with that person in future. That is forgiveness in the sight of God. That is how He saved you, and that is how you must respond to others too.
But, some may wonder: can the human nature receive these instruction? No of course! You can only appreciate this instruction if you have come to become what God wants you to become: to become perfect even as He Himself is also perfect. And do I write these things because I am also perfect? No, I just write because He instructed me to do so.
But-Do-Not-Term-His Word-Judgmental!
Some will then argue; that if this were so, why then do some preach what they call “judgmental messages”? My answer to that is this: that that which many term judgmental is the very word of the living God.
Most of these so-called “judgmental preachers” just preach the word of God as it is given to them; just as our Lord preached in the days of His flesh. Remember that He was also accused of being judgmental. And Just as our Lord responded then, that He judged no man or woman, so also I declare on behalf of those being so accused.
The truth is that it is the word of God, the written word of God, that many term judgmental. And according to our Lord, He was not the One Who judged them, but the very words that He preached, the very words He received of the Father.
I therefore encourage all faithful ministers of the gospel world-wide, to continue to preach God’s word, even as delivered by the Holy Ghost. They must not add or remove from what He says. Just preach what God says per time. And if any be judged therein, it is the word of God that judges them, not your words.
Do-Not-Shy-Away-From-The-Truth.
The duty of the believer is to pray for the salvation of ALL. We are not sent to destroy but to save. We are not sent to condemn but to deliver. Our sole mandate is to pray for and then preach to others. We must not kill them. We must not destroy them, no matter who they are and what they have done. That is the perfect will of God.
And for those who shy away from the truth of this gospel, so that they be not tagged as “judgmental preachers”, let them not forget that they are sent as God’s watchmen and watchwomen: and that they will be held to account for any soul that misses heaven by reason of their hypocrisy.
His-Mercies-Truly-Endure-Forever.
It is the perfect will of God that whosoever calls on the name of His Christ be saved, whosoever. And no matter what one has done, no matter how far one has gone into satanic ways, salvation will yet avail him or her – so long as it is sought with the heart, and not with the mind.
Brethren, I dare also to reveal, that no matter what a believer has done, even to the extent of renouncing his or her faith; that yet the mercy of God may still avail him or her, if sought early and with the whole heart. Yet it is up to us to seek His mercy; and not to continue to justify ourselves even in the midst of obvious contradictions.
Brethren, the mercy of God cannot be measured or quantified, and there is no qualification for it. He shows mercy on whom He wills. And He is no respecter of persons. His mercies endure forever.
Open-Wide-The-Church-Doors-To-All.
Brethren of the Lord, no man or woman must be sent out of the church, unless they pose an immediate physical threat to the security of other worshippers. Even at that, that same physical threat is greatly diminished or totally eliminated in the abiding presence of God.
No matter how folks dressed, no matter their race, color or language or social status, the doors of the church must equally be opened to them. Even for women, whether their heads be covered or not. We must give all the opportunity to hear the truth. Nobody must be shut out of the Church, nobody. This is the injunction of the Holy Ghost.
And every one must be allowed FREE access to the truth. There must not be any form of charge on any man or woman to enter the Church, or any ground where this gospel is preached: be it in hotels, etc. So long as this gospel is to preached, there shall be no charges whatsoever. All paid meetings described as gospel meetings are vile before the Lord.
And when folks have had that access, it is up to them to accept the truth and repent thereof. But they must first be allowed that access to the truth, irrespective of their outward appearances or their antecedents. This is the perfect will of God. And this is the instruction of the Holy Ghost to the church. If you doubt me ask Him; that is, if He has not told you already and you are still insisting. You cannot be more righteous than God.
And you must also preach the truth, not looking at faces, not looking at our financial positions, not looking at political and social imperatives: lest you yourself fall into condemnation. And always bear this in mind: that the will of God is that whosoever comes into His kingdom should remain; yet not as they came. And to remain does not mean that they must remain in your particular ministry. To remain simply means that they should remain saved. Take note.
We are not the ones who retain the saved, but our heavenly Father. Our duty is to pray and then preach His word even as delivered by the Holy Ghost per time.
The-Truth-Will-Always-Win.
Let me also point out something that is very grievous in the sight of God. There are some that claim that they preach the truth, and in so doing, even drive many: not just out of church, but also away from God Himself..
The truth is that when we preach the Truth, Who is Christ, and Him crucified, indeed some folks would definitely be offended, and even leave the church. But they will yet return, if not to that same place; but to another place of truth: if indeed that message is the Truth. For that Truth will eventually set such folks free from the very satanic influences that made them to leave in the first place.
But to preach the truth is not the same as turning ourselves into accusers of brethren. To preach the truth is to preach what God says per time, and in the language as thought by the Holy Ghost. And when we so preach, and some still cry condemnation, condemnation, we must move on. Yet the same God Who gave that message, in Whose hands are the hearts of all men and women, will eventually touch those sorrowing souls and bring them to the truth. Their sorrow is unto repentance.
What you are reading is very important, very personal to God, Who desires that all be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth. Please follow me carefully and be careful not to deliberately misunderstand me.
When we carefully study what the Apostles preached in the Acts of the Apostles, we will have a better understanding of what this message is about. Those folks preached the truth, but according to the words taught them by the Holy Ghost. And many were saved even to the uttermost thereof.
Our-Words-Can-Even-Defile.
But when we preach, using words flowing from our bitter hearts, from disdain for the wicked and not for wickedness: when we preach from personal prejudices, we end up bringing condemnation to our hearers, and alienate them from God. And when we do this, we would be held to account some day; because if they end up in hell, from there they would be accusing us to God. This is a deep truth and spiritual secret, and I pray for understanding.
Men and brethren, our choice of words goes a long way in determining the spiritual effectiveness of what we say per time. When we speak as He speaks, He draws souls unto Himself. But when we speak as we feel, we draw souls away from the Lord. Some of the words used on our pulpits in the guise of preaching the truth are even in themselves guile.
Some speak guile all in the name of being explicit. Have you ever pursed to consider whether the Holy Ghost would ever use the very words that proceed out of your mouth? Do we even know that the Holy Ghost will NEVER call most sins by name? That is as holy as He is. Yet His words can change even satan!
The truth is that out of the abundance of the heart our mouths speak. If you are sanctified you will readily appreciate what is being revealed. The words that some of us pour out all in the name of preaching the truth will even cause angels to flee. At times we even turn vulgar in our attempt to paint a picture nobody sent us to paint. And as we pour out such vile words, we pollute ourselves and those who hear us. Search your hearts and purge yourselves of whatever offends.
And-Of-Those-Sweet-Words.
And There are also those who mount the pulpit with words carefully selected to make their hearers happy. Those are enemies of righteousness. They use flattering words and phrases to attract the attention and praise of folks. And by so doing, the render the word of God of no effect.
Some use the pulpits to make friends at the expense of sound doctrine; while some search the dictionaries of men to lift up words that sooth their vain imaginations instead of what God is saying per time. And they end up spreading error.
Our mandate is to preach even as the Holy Ghost teaches us; and in the very words as also taught by Him. That was what our Lord did in the days of His flesh, that was how the first apostles preached: that is how we must preach if this gospel must be effectual in our mouths.
Even-Pictures-Can-Also-Defile.
Heaven has also noticed how some folks paint some revealing pictures of how folks suffer in hell. The truth is that some of those pictures are defiling in themselves, to say the truth. It becomes a case of one trying to portray the truth but end up defiling himself and others! God forbid!
Brethren, spiritual things are very very slippery indeed. When we see certain visions, we must try to depict them to our hearers yet in a way that is holy and clean as well. We must depend on the Holy Ghost to help us to effectually describe what we see in our visions. We must run from all appearances of evil even while trying to discourage evil itself.
For instance, some do paint pictures that are obviously pornographic, even of folks suffering in hell fire. That is not preaching the truth. The truth of this gospel is clean, inside and outside, and edifies and purifies as well. Yes, we must tell and show folks how hell fire is; but not to the extent of polluting our hearts and the hearts of those we crave to save thereby.
Check-Your Words-Also!
And just as some pictures, even of scenes from hell fire, can end up defiling instead of purifying souls, so also some of our words.
Words can really defile more than anything else. Every preacher of the word of God must endeavor to always separate himself or herself unto God in order to learn the ways and language of the holy Ghost. Very important. When we throw words here and there, we end up sending conflicting spiritual signals.
The true message from God cleanses us, not flatters or condemns. Ask yourselves, the words you are speaking, those words you publish, are they spirit, and are they life? The pictures you are displaying, are they spirit and are they life? Search yourselves and amend your ways before it is too late.
God’s-Power-Not-Our-Words-Saves.
Always remember that it is anointing that saves, not words: for the kingdom of God is not just in words but much more in power. No matter how sweet, flowery and comforting your words, they cannot save any soul. At best such smooth words can only produce mental Christians. And they are all over the places today.
And no matter how fearsome and terrible your words, they cannot save souls: it is the power of God that saves souls – that truly saves souls.
True salvation is a product of the presence of the power of God to save. And the foundation thereof is laid in the prayer closet. God the Father is the One Who saves souls, and He does that more often as we tarry in prayer than when we just preach.
Brethren, effectual preaching is just a manifestation of that which has been obtained at the alter of prayer. Therefore in the absence of concentrated prayer, true salvation is elusive.
Therefore, for evangelism to achieve divine purpose, it must be backed up with intense prayer, and most times, fasting too. When we fast and pray for souls, God gives the increase. He breaks into the spirit of folks and saves them. But when we just preach the word, in the absence of much prayer, we end up getting folks excited per time. They may flood to the alter, but would soon return to their old vomits. For if the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Flesh-And-Blood-Cannot-Access-God.
Salvation is not about number, but about quality. Those saved must also be retained, that they may go on to save others.
Brethren, flesh and blood cannot access the kingdom of God, no more can carnal preaching deliver the souls of folks. Carnal preaching is the product of preaching not backed up by concentrated prayers,, fasting and separation.
Some have turned the Lord’s pulpits into monuments of oratory. They talk the talk, attract many who enjoy such talks, but scarcely save any, even when many troop to the alter at the end of such ‘scintillating” sermons. Some also apply different but learned styles and methods of preaching in order to “win souls to Christ”. Sadly they fail to realize that the wisdom of men is foolishness to God.
The only way to truly save souls is to preach the truth of this gospel, and also with the words as taught by the Holy Ghost Himself. And no preacher can access the very language of the Holy Ghost without spending much time in prayer and in fasting, and in separations too. Buy this truth and sell it not.
In-Summary.
Brethren the perfect will of God is salvation for ALL. And is it the duty of every believer to pursue that will in fear and in trembling. Nobody is too bad to be saved. We are not the ones who save folks. God is the one Who saves. Our duty is to provide the opportunity for the unsaved to meet God, to make ourselves available as vessels of honor for the Master’s use. Yes, one can meet God anywhere, yet it has pleased Him to largely use the body of His only begotten Son, that is, the Church, to draw folks unto Himself.
Therefore, drop all forms of prejudices and personal ideas about God and about His salvation. The strange thing is that by our attitudes and prejudices, we have prevented many from coming to God. And God will hold us to account. God forbid!
Christmas- Is-Here-Again.
By the Holy Ghost, I charge all who love Christ and His appearing, to shun all debates about whether our Lord was born on this or on that day. Make sure you celebrate Jesus on the Christmas day. Put on your good and godly clothes, and go about doing good. Make sure you speak to somebody about Him. And then sit down and enjoy with your family, talking about His goodness.
Brethren, heaven does celebrate Christmas, yet it does, even with much pump and pageantry. You need to see how the angels rejoice with our Lord on that day, even with all the hosts of heaven.
And you, the preacher, do not be too zealous to keep brethren in service that day for long. Release them early enough that they may go home and rejoice with their families. All true believers should celebrate Christmas, even our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is the perfect will of God that we celebrate His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Wo not Santa Claus. God the Father is the Father of true Christmas, the Christmas of Christ. Santa Claus is the Father of the heathen Christmas, the Christmas of men. Tread wisely.
PRAYER.
My prayer is::
1. That the Everlasting Father may show mercy upon all of us for variously shutting out others from Him. That Christ may fill the hearts of all His ministers worldwide with the truth of His gospel. That the Holy Ghost may sanctify and purify the hearts of all that name the name of our Lord worldwide.
2. That God, our Everlasting Father, may provide for all His children worldwide to enable us to celebrate His only begotten Son this Christmas. And that no lives be lost in the course of the celebration.
3. That the Everlasting Father may mercifully grant mass salvation on Christmas day, upon as many as celebrate Christmas: whether in the name of His Christ or not.
All in Jesus name. Amen.
Merry Christmas to you all. And many joyful returns in 2017. Rejoice, I say, always rejoice, even in the Holy Ghost.
