Biblical Messages to Prepare the Church for the Soon Return of the Lord Jesus Christ!
URGENT MESSAGES
Blessed and Eternal Greetings to you all Brethren. As you may have noticed, there are not regular weekly articles being posted online. We have written over 300 articles on this blog and we will provide more articles as the LORD leads.
However, we have created a "NEW UPDATES" TAB which you need to check out daily {As the LORD provides} as we will be sharing whatever URGENT or Prophetic messages there on any DAY. There will be an UPDATE SOON!
Truth Endures Always
"if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15).
NOTICE: PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW UPDATES TAB FOR NEW PROPHETIC UPDATES!
There can be no doubt that the Church, being the Bride of Christ should stand for the truth (John 14:6) and we know when the Lord gave Peter the keys of the Kingdom, which pillars and foundations are found on truth, it was the same key the Lord gave to all who would believe (Matthew 16:19). Similarly, the Lord declared that we shall know the truth and that the truth shall set us free (John 8:32) and such truth is that we know the Lord and that He is that Truth.
Now, over the years that the Lord spoke to us, He repeatedly warned many of us to speak the truth and that liars will not inherit His kingdom which has truth as its foundation. Furthermore, this ministry through the Lord's guidance has exposed many false witnesses and ministers of the gospel for preaching lies in the name of the Lord. This is a true gospel fact, the Lord does not need any thread or shade of lie to promote the truthfulness of the gospel, however, some of us mix the truth of God's word with lies to convince people to act or believe, when we do so, are we not laying a false foundation which will be exposed by the fire of truth? (1 Corinthians 3:13).
Being Pretentious Promotes Falsehood
Therefore, as disciples of Christ, we ought to strive to witness faithfully and in truth bearing in mind that falsehood would not stand up under the mighty weight of truth. The Lord thus forbid that we use lies or any form of falsehood to advance the gospel and some do so to promote themselves for popularity and money and those who practice such are trapped by the enemy (Luke 6:26). Also, if we imitate a man or woman of God by being impostors we would be acting out of falsehood for each man will receive a reward for the things he or she did in the body (Romans 2:6).
We have had a very zealous brother (let's call him Jones) who fellowshipped with us for a short while and he asked us to inquire for him from the Lord if he could start a ministry and go house to house to preach 'repentance and holiness'.
Upon His reply, the Lord is not weak in His reply nor does He holds back when He teaches us His truth. He told the brother that He did not call him (Brother Jones) to preach holiness and repentance and the brother thought that the Lord was restricting him and preventing him from doing what he wanted to do. Yes, the Lord did restrict him because when we serve Christ, He is the One mandating, calling, and baptizing us not any human being or ourselves (Acts 13:2; Matthew 3:11). As a result, we thus encourage you to stop your pretense and walk in truth, being honest in all you do in Jesus' name.
It is a fact that some Christians easily abandon the truth when they are being tested or put under pressure (Luke 22:57), are we not acting falsely and denying the Lord by betraying Him and our values of truth? We say this because when the one world religion would be introduced to the world it would be based on falsehood and human philosophies where the scriptures would be used only when it does not contradicts its 'founding statement'. As Christians, we know all of the Scriptures are inspired by God and it is useful in training us into all godliness and godly living (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
In conclusion, as a ministry, we repeat that the things we wrote and testified about on this platform have NOT been fabricated nor did we ever promote lies here but only the truth as the Lord revealed for therein is our reward(s) secure. Let us thus live the truth and act in accordance with the truth that sets us free, it is what God expects of us anyway (John 8:32).
Blessed Truth
Brother Glenn
"Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited" (Romans 12:16 NIV).
It is common practice that most us avoid close association with poor and ill-mannered people and many of us are quick to use this portion of scripture “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14). Equally, this portion of scripture does not suggest we shouldn't associate with unbelievers, instead it says we should not be unequally yoked in their mannerism and practices. How did the Lord win over people if He did not associate with them, and how about the earlier Apostles and missionaries? They all lived and worked amongst those they changed and convicted.
Scripturally, we can recall that our Lord Jesus Christ said He came for sinners and those who needs salvation (Luke 5:32). How do we change and influence people with the gospel of truth if we don't associate with them? Did the Apostle Paul not work and lived among the gentiles to win them for the Lord? (1 Corinthians 9:20-22).
In other words, we win people over to the Lord when we live amongst, work amongst them while they are seeing and copying our Christ-like practices. Please allow me to share some experiences with you, there was a brother whom the Lord used mightily with open visions which he shared with believers online.
However, when he stopped having these visions he also ceased sharing his faith and the gospel as if those visions were his only motivation to share the gospel. Subsequently, the Lord revealed to us that given to the brother's gifts, he declined invitations from other brethren to share his testimony and experiences with the Lord, as a result the Lord gave him a message through this ministry encouraging him to accept invitations to share the gospel for the edification of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 14:12; Ephesians 4:12). As it was, this rebuke did not sit well with the brother, he rejected the Lord's message and dissociated himself with us. As Christians, we should never grow disobedient or weary to labour for the benefit of God's Kingdom, our calling is a life-time commitment.
some years ago when I was in my early 20's and before I joined the formal ministry, I lived and work amongst unbelievers and at the time I considered myself then to be the only truly born again amongst them. It was a tough assignment and the ridicule and persecution I faced almost derailed my faith and the Lord graciously guided me out of that and my faith survived till this day to share with you.
In addition, during my early walk with the Lord I was influenced to look down to people who belonged to a labour trade union and not to associate with them. As we know, the labour movements are generally political in nature and some industrial action may turn somewhat violent and that made me reluctant to be a member as it may also cause me to stumble in my faith. However, as I matured in my faith, I asked the Lord if it would be right for me to join a trade and expecting the Lord to say NO! Instead He said, "Your father may join any trade union of his choice" with the addition of the above scripture "...but be willing to associate with people of low position" (Romans 12:16). Similarly, we should consider what the Apostle James also said "But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court?.." (James 2:6 ESV).
Now, given to our positions in life and in the work place let us not look down on those who occupy low positions, their minimal or maximum contributions yield results too (Matthew 20:1-16). We know that the above scripture is making reference to the gift of eternal life, however, Christian business leaders should not be driven by greed and profit and they should keep their lives free from the love of money.
In conclusion, let us therefore endeavor to associate with people of low position and share the joy of seeing how the Lord is transforming their lives. Kindly allow me to share yet another short testimony, while I faced strong persecution in the places where I worked some people took note of my walk in the Lord and some even knew my former ways and they made a comparison between my God and the gods of the other 'believers' and that brought them closer to the Lord through the conviction of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 1:24).
Blessed Grace
