LOVE; THE BOND OF BROTHERHOOD

COLLOSIAN 1:3-17

We express the love of God in diverse ways. But no matter the way you acknowledge this love by the Holy Ghost, at the end of the day, you will discover that you have given out something in exchange as love demands which you may not notice when it occurs. Love is expressing gratitude towards God and towards one another through the Holy Ghost directives. God expressed love to Humanity by submitting His son willingly to die for Mankind.

JOHN 3:16

(16)      “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten

            Son, for whosoever believes in him should not perish but

            Have everlasting life”

And that is how God expressed his own love? Now, how do you express your own love to one another? Remember, you must give something in exchange to express love. So, that little handshake, that wonderful beam of smiles that you will give to someone today is an expression of love and can change his entire career, and keep him/her in a mood to achieve a goal, that little money you used to assist someone, you think that it is too small can help some one’s transport fair to accomplish his/her contract for the bigger money he/she is expecting, and also can help other to work for better a salary awaiting. So in expressing love let us learn to give out something, no matter how small and you should not brag over it lest you lose your rewards because your rewards come with compensation from God the way you least expect it. It may be through your health, your finance, your Career, your most important need etc. you don’t detect for God the way he should reward you because he is the only wise God who searches and knows the heart.

In today’s content saint Paul the apostle and Timothy are writing to the faithful brethrens in Union with Christ at Colossae express their love in prayers and thanksgiving to God on their behalf as well as letting them know that they care for them. This is a simple way believers should care for one another, not necessarily waiting to get money and share gifts. The letter to the brothers in Colossae is an appreciation of love.

COLOSSIANS 1:3

(3)        “We always thank God the father of our Lord Jesus

            Christ when we Pray for you.

(4)        Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the

 Love you have for all the holy ones

(5)        because of the hope that is being reserved for you

            In the heavens. You previously heard about this

Hope through the message of truth of the good

news “

(6)        That has come to you just as good news is bearing

fruit and increasing in all the world; so it also doing

among you from the day you heard and accurately

knew the undeserved kind kindness of God in truth.

So as the Month of June has ended, begin a new month with a smile. Even if you don’t have money to give someone, give someone a handshake and a good smile that change his/her status for this month. Remain blessed.

            

THE GOD OF VENGEANCE

OBADIAH 1 – 21

Sometimes in life’s journey as Christians people steps on our toes and deprive us of our human right. Even when we cannot fight back, God knows about this and he is keeping records of every event in heaven; even the actions a man takes against another has consequence, it might not be immediately. But it must surely come. That is why God said that the wicked has an end.

PSALM 73:17

(17)      “Until I entered the grand sanctuary of God,

            And discerned their future

(18)      Surely you place them on slippery ground

            You make them fall to their ruins

(19)      How suddenly they are devasted

            How sudden their finish as they came

            to a terrible  and:

(20)      like a dream when one wakes up, o God

            when you rouse yourself, you will dismiss

their image.”

Every wicked personality has a chance to repent from his wicked ways because God has set aside a day to end his/her wickedness by force and by fire. We are not talking of eternal death now. We are talking of physical calamity on planet earth that will bring the wicked to an end. This is why we call God: “a God of Vengeance.” He must avenge for his people; especially those the wicked has terminated their lives untimely.

PSALM 94:1

(1)   “O God of Vengeance, Jehovah; O God of Vengeance,

Shine forth

(2)   Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Repay to the haughty what

they deserve

(3)   How long will the wicked, O Jehovah, How long will the

wicked continue to exult?

(4)   They babble and speak arrogantly; All wrong doers brag

about themselves

(5)   They crush your people, O Jehovah, And oppress your

Inheritance.

(6)   They kill the widows and foreign resident

And they murder the fatherless children”

You can see the act of the wicked, but in today’s content God is about to avenge for Jacob over calamity Esau his elder brother has caused him. Someone can be Jacob and another Esau, depending as the Holy Ghost grants and guide you to understand the message.

OBADIAH 6-10

(6)        “O how Esau has been searched out! How his hidden

treasures have been sought after!

(7)        They have driven you to the border; all allies have

            deceived you

            The men at peace with you have prevailed against you.

            Those eating bread with you will place a net under you

            but you will not discern it.

(8)        In that day, “declares Jehovah, “will I not destroy the

            wise ones out of Edom

            And discernment out of the mountainous region of Esau?

(9)        And your warriors will become terrified, O Teman

            because each one in the mountainous region of

            Esau will be destroyed in the Slaughter

(10)      Because of the violence done to your brother,

            Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will perish

            forever”

Now what had Esau done wrong against Jacob His Junior brother that warrant these punishments? Let’s proceed with the answers.

OBADIAH 11-13

(11)      “On the day when You stood off to the side

            On the day when strangers took his army into

captivity.

When foreigners entered his state and cast lots

over Jerusalem.

(12)      You should not gloat over your brother’s day on the

            Day of his misfortune. You should not rejoice over

            The people of Judah on the day of their perishing.

            And you should not speak so arrogantly on the day

            Of their distress

(13)      You should not come into the gate of my people in the

            day of their disaster, you should not gloat over his

            calamity in the day of his disaster; And you should

            not lay hands on his wealth in the day of his disaster

(14)      You should not stand at the crossroad to slaughter

his escapees. And you should not hand over his

survivors in the day of distress

(15)      For the day of Jehovah against all nations is

            near. As you have done, so it will be done to you.

            The way you treated others will come back on

            Your own head”

Whatever your enemies has done against you in the past, God is about to avenge from today. In Jesus Name. Amen.

THE YOKE HAD BEEN BROKEN; BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST

LAMENTATION 3:27-41

The disobedient of Adam Eve subjected the entire creature to bondage. Leaving man to suffer the consequences of their wickedness; which Satan our accuser will not relent in accusing those devoted to serve God day and night as he did to Job but we have overcame him by the blood of the lamb Jesus Christ and the words of our testimony. Man suffered the consequences of the rebellion of the first man and woman; while God imputed upon man from the creation of the earth.

GENESIS 3:17

(17)      “And to Adam he said: “Because you listened to your

            wife’s voice and ate from the tree concerning which

            I gave you this command. You must not eat from it,

            cursed is the ground on your account. In pain you

            will eat it’s produce all the days of your life

(18)      it will grow thorns and thistles for you, and you must

eat the vegetation of the field

(19)      in the sweat of your face you will eat bread  until

            you return to the ground, for dust you are and dust

            you will return”

As a result of the above curse, man kept on toiling sweating before he could amount to anything in life. And that is what led to bearing of yoke. What yoke are we to bear? The yoke of Adamic nature which is under a curse because of sin of one man:

ROMANS 3:23

(23)      “For all have sinned and come short of the glory

of God”

So before Jesus came, men were bearing the yoke of Adamic nature which Jesus had curbed after his death and resurrection.

LAMENTATION 3:27

(27)      “Good it is for a man to carry the yoke during his youth

(28)      let him sit alone and keep silent when he lays it upon

            him

(29)      Let him put his mouth in the very dust; there may yet be hope

(30)      let him give his cheek to the one striking him; let him have

            his fill of insult”

This personality is full of reproach; he is still a servant before a master that can maltreat him as he likes. But Jesus came and removed the yoke of slavery or servant hood. Peradventure this personality did not bear this yoke when he was young according to law, he must face it terribly at the latter end of his life, and that might be brutal. So the curse of Adamic nature was obligatory except through our Lord Jesus Christ who came and saved the entire creature from the bondage of accusation.

ROMANS 8:20

(20)      “For the creation was subjected to futility, not by it’s own

            will, but through the one who subjected it, on the basis of

            hope .

(21)      That the creature itself will also set free from enslavement

to corruption and have the glorious freedom of  the children

of God

(22)      For we know that all creature keeps on groaning together and

being in pain together until now.

(23)      Not only that, but  we ourselves also who have the first fruits ,

namely, the spirit , yes, we ourselves groan  within ourselves

while we are earnestly waiting for adoption as sons, the release

from our bodies as ransom.”

Though God is a merciful father, even upon the curse of Adamic nature imputed upon man, he still showed mercy.

LAMENTATION 3:31

(31)      “For Jehovah will not cast us forever

(32)      Although he has caused grief, he will

also show mercy according to his

abundant loyal love

(33)      for it is not in heart to afflict or grieve

            the son of men”

This is why Jesus death and resurrection is the greatest sacrifice above every sacrifice human can offer for atonement of sin. At the mention of Name Jesus Christ every knee must bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is lord Including Adamic yoke. A lot of people are still under this yoke because of ignorant.

ROMANS 10:1

(1)               “Brothers, the goodwill of my heart and my supplication to

God for them are indeed for their salvation.

(2)               For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God,

but not according to accurate knowledge .

(3)               For because of not knowing the righteousness of God          

but seeking to establish their own, but did not subject

themselves to the righteousness of God

(4)               For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising

Faith may have righteousness.”

Any righteousness apart from the righteousness by faith in Jesus Christ is like a filthy rage in the site of God.

GALATIAN 3:6-9

(6)        “Just as Abraham “put faith in Jehovah, and it was counted to

to him as righteousness

(7)        Surely you know that it is those who adhere to faith who are sons

            of Abraham

(8)        Now the scripture foreseeing that God would declare people of

            of the nations righteous through faith, declared the good news

             before hand to Abrahams namely: “By means of you all the

nations will be blessed.

(9)        So those who adhere to faith are being blessed together

with Abraham, who had faith”

This is why it is according to your faith. The yoke has no power over you because of your faith in that name Jesus Christ. The power in the blood of Jesus had wiped away your sin and the Adamic nature is subdued by the Holy Ghost and not in carnality of flesh any longer for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers (EPHESIAN 6:12).

GALATIAN 3:1

(1)        “O senseless Galatians who has brought you under this

evil influence, you who had Jesus Christ openly portrayed

 before you as nailed to the stake?

(2)        This one thing I want to ask you: Did you receive the spirit

            through  works of law or because of faith in what you heard?

(3)        Are you so senseless? After starting on spiritual course, are

            You finishing on a fleshly course?”

So today we cannot overcome by flesh but by the spirit. The battle has ceased from physical realm and continues in the spiritual realm. So if you are not walking in the spirit you are a defeated foe.

EPHESIAN 6:12

(12)      “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood  

but against principalities, against powers

and against spiritual wickedness in heavenly

places”

This is why we must always fight the battle of faith in Christ which starts from your confession. It is what you believe, you confess and it is what you confess that you will act. So today make up your mind to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and personal savior according to Romans 10:9.

ROMANS 10:9-10

(9)        “For if you publicly declare with your mouth

            Jesus is lord, and exercise faith in your heart

            that God raised him up from the dead, you

            will be saved.

(10)      For with the heart one exercises faith for

Righteousness, but with the mouth one

 makes public declaration for salvation”

your confession today will lead to your salvation tomorrow. Remain blessed.

GREAT COMMISSION: THE HEART BEAT OF KINGDOM BUSINESS

LUKE 10: 1-20

Jesus sent out 70 disciples to preach the gospel as well as empowered them for the task of spreading the good news with authority over Satan and his agent. This same empowerment does not end with the 70 then, it continues to extend and transcend process till date. This is called the great commission, why? Because it is the main subject of the Kingdom of God, God does not joke with evangelism. As a child of God you don’t need money to do this, if there is no way you are expanding the kingdom, please embark on evangelism. This is where the power of God to salvation begins.

ROMANS 1:16

(16)      “I will not be ashamed of the gospel

For it is the power of God unto Salvation

to everyone having faith, to the Jews first,

and also to the Greek”

LUKE 10:18

(18)      “At that he said to them I see Satan already fallen

like lightening from heaven.

(19)      Look! I have given you the authority to trample

under foot serpents and scorpion and overall

the power of the enemy and nothing at all harm

you”

Where does this Powers lies? It lies in preaching the good news about the Kingdom of heaven. You cannot help in expanding kingdom without being empowered from above because every perfect gift is from above.

JAMES 1:17

(17)      “Every good and perfect gift comes from above,

coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights,

who does not change like shifting shadows.”

When God empowers you to succeed, you are unbeatable and a dangerous weapon in the hand of Almighty God through His Son Jesus Christ. God uses you to bring order on earth according to your faith. So let us learn to spread the gospel as well as imitate the life of Christ as we change from Glory to glory.

ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH

MARK 4:36-41

EPHESIAN 1:19-23

Life is full of ups and down, whatever you do today is according to your faith. The storm of destiny will not swallow you because of your faith. The storm of destiny will not swallow you because of your faith. Your faith in the time of opposition proves your worth and altitude in life and destiny. Jesus was able to calm the storm because of His faith.

MARK 4:39

(39)      “with that he got up and rebuked the wind and said:

            “Hush! Be quiet!” And the wind abated and great

            calm set in”

(40)      So he said to them “why are you so afraid? Do you

            Not yet have any faith?

Now, from the above quotation, we can prove that we are able to conquer every storm that opposes our destiny by our faith, not the faith of our pastor. The faith that will uphold and propel you forward is the one you yourself exhibited by a taking a giant step towards a designated destination by Holy Ghost. Faith is incomplete without the help of Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the force that detect signal for clear direction; it superimpose divinity to humanity to achieve a maximum result by faith.

Faith is unpredictable and incomplete without the Holy Ghost. It is the Holy Ghost that empowers faith to succeed.

ACTS 1:8

(8)        “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon

            You, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Judea

            And Samaria, and to the most distant part of the earth”

ACT 5:32

(32)      “And we are witnesses of these matters, and so is the Holy Spirit

            Which God has given to those obeying him as rulers”

When the Holy Ghost is not involved we have what is called Fate. We cannot talk of faith without the Holy Ghost. In a nutshell faith is one of the fruit of the Holy Ghost.

GALATIAN 5:22

(22)      “On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love,

            Joy, Peace, Patient, Kindness, Goodness, Faith

(23)      Mildness, Self Control. Against such things there

            Is no law”

The world practice Fate (luck) ISAIAH 65:11, the Kingdom of God practice faith (confidence) HEBREW 11:1. And that is why we must always walk in the spirit so that we can fulfill faith. Everything we demand or aspire to be is in the faith we have in name JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH.

TRIAL PERIOD; ENDURING TIME

JOB 31: 1-14

We all are aware of the story of Job, the thing he passed through, his complaints and His end. Job was a righteous man indeed; a man that eschew evil.

JOB 1:1

“There was a man in the land of UZ whose name was Job

He was an upright man of integrity, he feared God and

shunned what was bad”

We can see His complaints to God, How he did not find the reasons he should be in that position; but little did he know that God permitted that trial period in his life to make a name for himself. So is the fate of destiny of men.

Divine destiny is unfathomable; it comes with hard time s and hardship to prepare the possessor for the glory ahead, the training period is sequential and rigorous. But don’t doge the trial because the test and passing of the test is in the face of trials. Your attitudes towards the trial determine your altitude in life and destiny. Irrespective of his complaint, Job did not abandon God. He retained his righteous act till the end.

If it is today, some of us will drop our bible to look for shortcut, some will join secret cult to doge hardship. And at the end of the day you subject your destiny to bondage because of impatient. Then your situation will worsen because Satan will request sacrifice and atonement for every single prosperity he will give you and for you to keep living. So is life and destiny. Many had cried had I known and still crying it till date because of losing divine mandate to the gates of hell.

Satan accused Job because divinity announced him. Look! Your trouble may be as a result of heavenly announcement on your heads. That is why whenever heaven announces any one, Satan will rise to denounce such announcement through frustration by accusation but the frustration is temporal if only patient will have its way. Every trial has an expiring date, wait for your time.

2 TIMOTHY 2: 3-5

(3)        “As a fine Soldier of Christ Jesus, take your part in suffering

            adversity (4) No man serving as a soldier involves himself in

            Commercial businesses of lives, in order to gain approval of

            of the one who enrolled him as a soldier.

(5)        And even in the games anyone who competes is not crown

            unless he has competed according to the rules”

Endurance is the key to triumph in life and destiny. Endure every trial as a good Soldier of Christ. Endurance with patient is the key that can unlock heavenly locked gate against anyone.

PSALM 51:17

(17)      “The Sacrifices pleasing to God are a broken spirit:

            A heartbroken and crushed, O God you will not reject”

Heaven has closed doors against destinies of some people, when heaven locks your gate or door. You are finished because no power on earth can open it except through His mercy, he sent his prophets our way to reproof and correct us of certain issues, because without reproof and correction as well as accepting the truth of the fact or error that led to the closed gate against one destiny, the gate remains locked. That is why the office of a prophet is important. Until PROPHET NATHAN went to KING DAVID to tell him his sins against God by killing URIAH and taking his wife  BATHSHEBA as wife; His heaven remained closed. And no power can open it even as a King until God’s anger subsides. And I prophesy “heaven will open your closed gate, in Jesus name. Amen.

EVIL REPORT; THE DESTINY KILLER

NUMBERS 14:26-39

As human we are, sometimes we make the mistake of apportioning blames to God for our present temporal problems and position. Instead of enduring the situation by thanking God for a brighter tomorrow that may surface in due season, because after rain comes sunshine. People are always impatient with God when their prayers are not answered. Forgetting that God is the creator of the whole universe with this infinite wisdom, who can compete with God? Nobody; He does what He wants do irrespective of your feelings. They murmured against Moses the servant of most high God and God judged them in various measures. They first of all brought evil report against God after spying out the land of Canaan for 40 days. And God was annoyed with them that after seeing his act in Egypt that these people still doubt what He can do. Then God concluded that He will do to them according to their report. Child of God, what is your report about those gifts God has given you? What is your report about that giant step God said you should take? Remember that Joshua and Caleb were the only younger people in their midst yet their report were “we are able to take the land”. And two of them finally took the land. While others were saying that they cannot take the land because of giants and they perished in the wilderness because God has vowed to do to them according to their statement.

NUMBERS 14:26

(26)      “Jehovah then said to Moses and Aaron

(27)      “How much longer will this evil assembly keep murmuring

            against me? I have heard what the Israelites  are murmuring

            against me

(28)      Say to them “As surely as I live , declare Jehovah, I will do to

            You just what I have  heard you speak!

Now, having established this fact that God will not relent to do you according to your saying. What is your report? Your report from today determines your destination. Change your report about situation and grab your destiny in hand to fulfillment:

I CORINTHIAN 10:10

(10)      “Neither be murmurers , as some of them murmured

            Only to perish by the destroyers”

Murmuring is evidence of lack of faith. God dealt with the 8 spies that brought back evil report according to their faith while the 2 people that brought back good report (Joshua and Caleb) according to their faith. Faith was in existence before the creation of the world, God created the world by faith, and treated the people in it by their faith, His son Jesus Christ came and demonstrated faith. And treated the people in it by their faith, And that is why without faith it is impossible to please God.

Christians are ignorant of so many things in the world today and as a result Isolate themselves from what is their right, thereby giving the Devil; power over what is their right: Imagine someone saying that the present world belongs to Devil; and as a result let us live it for the Devil and his agents because devil said in MATHEW 4:8-9 and LUKE 4: 6-7, Look! Satan said that he has the power over the earth. Has God said that? No, God has not approved that saying; rather God gave man dominion over every living creature that creeps over the face of the earth. But man decided to side with Satan and that gave Satan full control over the inhabitant of whole world and the whole creature enter bondage because of the disobedient of the Adam and Eve, man lost the dominion to satan. But God has restored man through his son Jesus Christ. So Satan does not have that power again because Jesus has recovered everything he has stolen from the Kingdom. And that was why he tried to deceive Jesus too, but he failed, if he had succeeded that means the entire creation will still be in bondage of evil one.

Now, this is why you can only please God by faith; everything you do today is according to your faith in that name Jesus who has brought restoration to entire world. Not by works, your participation in politics is rewarded by your faith; acting movie is rewarded by your faith, being a Lawyer is rewarded by your faith, how? Because we overcame the Devil by the blood of the Lamb Jesus and the words of our testimony and your words of testimony comprises your report about Christ, yourself, your career, the gospel etc. because God must always treat you according to your report. You have what you say and that is faith. You can still be a politician, a musician, an actor or actress, a writer, a blogger etc provided what you are doing as profession does not destroy lives and property, health and negative influence that contribute to corruption etc. Your faith is richly rewarded, what we fight most in the society is corruption. The government officials according to ROMANS 13:1 are there to fight corruption in the society. And the apostles said that they are Servant of God. Then who are you to condemn the system by saying that God is not involved in this present system. The power has been taken from Satan after Jesus death and resurrection, so the Just shall live by faith. Your faith in the name of Jesus as a government official is rewarded even as a politician is recognized and rewarded. Let stop being the like the scribes and the Pharisees in MATHEW 23. Please stop leaving those sensitive areas and offices for Satan and his agent they don’t own it any longer, the bible said he is an accuser, He can accuse you as he did to Job, but note that the blood of Jesus has made a difference if you believe in that name Jesus Christ. He succeeded in destroying what Job had because God gave him permission which he sought. If he is the owner of the world including Job, why did he go to take permission from God before dealing with Job? Satan is an accuser, the only power he has is to accuse you as a child of God through lies and slander but you have overcome him already.

REVELATION 12:10

(10)      “I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the

            salvation and the power and the Kingdom of our God

            and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of

            our brothers had been hurled down, who accuses them

            day and night before God!

(11)      And they conquered him because of the blood of the

lamb and  because of the words of their testimony,

and they did not love their souls even in the face of death”

Who did Satan accused? He accused Job (JOB 1:1-12), He accused Moses (JUDE 9-10), JOSHUA

ZACHARIAH 3:2

(2)        Then the Angel of God said to Satan: “ may Jehovah

            rebuke you, O Satan, you, yes, may God who has chosen

            Jerusalem rebukes you! Is not this one a burning log

snatched out fire?

(3)        “Now Joshua was clothed in filthy garment and standing

            before the angel

(4)        The angel said to those before him “Remove the

            filthy garment.”  Then he said to him, “See I have caused

            your error to pass away from you, and you will be clothed

            with fine clothe”

So he does not have power to stop you from doing God’s purpose for your life unless you succumb to his enticement. This is why anyone that accuses others unjustly is an agent to Satan, some people has this dangerous satanic nature in them. You are working for Satan without knowing, you don’t need to belong to marine Kingdom or practice witch craft before you become Agent of Satan, if you join in any accusation you don’t know the origin no matter who you are, even if you are a pastor, you are already working for Satan.   That is why it is according to your faith. Coming to competing with the world, you don’t need to strive or struggle for position with anyone as a child of God. Just mind your business doing your own work as specified so you can win the respect of others because promotion comes from the North (Mount Zion: City of the great Kings PSALM 75:6) and from above (JAMES 1:17)

I THESSALONIAN 4:11-12

(11)      “Make it your aim to live quietly and to mind your own

            business and to work with your own hands, just as we

instructed you.

(12)      So that you may work decently in the eyes of the

            People outside and not need anything”

If any power will be given to Satan not yet, but as specified in the book of revelation that will be when he will be released to torment the earth and that is after rapture, this is punishment to the disobedient ones.

THE FAMINE OF THE WORD OF GOD

AMOS 8:11 – 14

JUDE 3

We are in the era when the real truths about the gospel are rare. People have deviated from preaching to make heaven to preaching for money and belly. Telling people what they want to hear, and not what will save their soul on the last day. Remember what the scripture said:

2 TIMOTHY 4:3

(3)        “For there will be a period of time when they will not

            put up with the wholesome teaching, but according on

            their own desires, they will surround themselves with

            teachers to have their ear tickled”

   We are in the last days already, the gospel of bread and butter is everywhere ringing jingles for the ignorant one to come and bid the prices of their gospel. Such motive should desist from the midst of children of God, and let us face the reality. The reality is that the gospel is preached as it is supposed and with a right motive which is supposed be to make heaven. Heaven at last should still remains the algorithm of gospel preachers today but their motive is denying the power to meet the demands. The demand is that we should sit down to study and dig out the real truth about the gospel. So that we don’t cause more harm than good. Every shepherd is liable to a soul entrusted in his care that ends up in hell.

So let us be careful in our dealings as shepherd of our lord Jesus Christ and ministers of the Gospel, to the word we dish out to the sheep of his pasture, so we don’t bring more harm than good on ourselves as regard the judgment.

JEREMIAH 23:1

(1)               “Woe to the Shepherds who are who are destroying

and scattering the sheep of my pasture!” declares

Jehovah

(2)               Therefore this  is what Jehovah the God of Israel said  

against the shepherds who are shepherding my people:

“You have scattered my sheep; you kept dispersing them

and you have not turned attention to them.” “So I will

turn attention to you because of your evil deeds declares

Jehovah”

You have a question to answer concerning any soul that is entrusted under your care, and later ends up in hell. This is why we must study to know the truth, because the truth is fast diminishing from the face of the earth because of science and technology. The gospel of science and technology are now the reigning gospel of preachers on the pulpit. You see a PHD Holder in Science and Technology climbing the pulpit as a pastor to preach science diluted with the word of God. This is not what we are called to do. We are called to teach the truth of Jesus death  and resurrection that brings salvation to mankind. So we don’t need to be professionals in preaching the truth as Jesus specified and that is why it is good to find the undiluted word.

AMOS 8:11

(11)      “Look! The day are coming declares the sovereign

            Jehovah, when I I will  send a famine in to

            the land; Not a famine for bread or a test for water

but for hearing the word of God

(12)      They will stagger from sea to sea, And from North to

            East; They will rove about searching for the word

            of Jehovah, but they will not find it

(13)      In that day beautiful virgin will faint; Also young

            men because of the thirst.

(14)      Those who swear by guilt of Samaria and who say

            “As surely as your god lives

            O Dan!

            And “As surely as the way of Beersheba lives.”

            They will fall, and they will not rise up again”

Why are they staggering and stumbling because of lack of genuine gospel. Hosea 4:6 (My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge). We need to go back to the manual and study as the spirit guides us. So that we don’t stagger and stumble on the way, not that my Pastor said but what did God say about the issue that matters. The Guilt of Samaria was making so much music in place of the real truth.

JUDE 3

(3)               “Beloved ones although I was making every effort

to write you about the salvation we hold in common,

I found it necessary to write to you to urge you to put

up hard fight for the faith that was once for all time

to the holy ones”

You have to fight to retain the real truth, when you have not contended for that faith in the real truth about Christ, then your faith is questionable because many things must come to try real faith in Christ.
