Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is full with basic instructions and information on how to live and survive on this earth before we depart to the after life. It tells us about the choices we have in life,and gives us an option to choose. It is the only book that the Author is present from generation to generation,while reading it. It’s the only book that tells the truth,the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. It is the only book that the Author gives you promises,and keeps them. Everything. You need to know is in this book,yet people refuse to read. It,why? Because,the God of this world has blinded their eyes,and harden their hearts. Are you one of them?

HEAVEN OR HELL, the choice is yours.

Did you read the Bible today? It is the only, owners manual that us humans have that gives us details of the past, present, and future lifestyles that we have.

Then God sent His only son, Jesus to demonstrate and show us how to read it, live by it, obey it and follow every word of the Bible. Did you read it today?

So lets follow the only G P S system that God created that will lead us to eternal life. You could call it God’s prospering system,or even God’s purpose system,whatever this means or says,it’s for your good. God sent His only begotten. Son into the world for us,and,

HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life”. Have you accepted God’s gift of life? If not,then go to the top of this blog,and click on to the salvation page,and follow basic instructions, then allow the Holy Spirit to lead,guide,and direct you,for the rest of your life,

HATE or LOVE

1 John 4:7-11
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
When you malice,remove and disassociate yourself from children of God isn’t that a form of hatred ? God is love,therefore, hatred is not of God,and it almost seems like hate has replace love, even in the church. The thing that puzzles me is that some Christians claim they love God,but they hate people from other denominations, and folks who don’t attend their church,or teach the things they think is right. But when we read and understand the word, it says this :
1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
1 John 4:20
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
Matthew 15:7-20.
Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ” When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.” Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.” So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
And above all Jesus said in Luke 5:32″ I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”
Have you ever ask yourself, that ,when Jesus do returns,is He coming for all the saints, or just your group?
How do you know if you love more than hate,when you follow,Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

SELF-MADE or GOD MADE

You can do nothing without God. Who ever came up with the idea and title of being self-made, that people are so quick to adopt the title for themselves? There are self-made millionaires, singers, musicians, preachers and pastors, etc. Yet they forget that the only one who can take credit for making us is God Almighty.
John15:5….” for without me ye can do nothing”.
Then John 1:3 reminds us that, “All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.” The only person who had bragging rights about being self-made was Jesus and He didn’t, but in Colossians 1:15-17 it says, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation; For by Him all things were created that are in heaven, and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created through Him and for Him, and He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” So Jesus is the only one who can boast about being self-made, yet He did not. He also gave all praise and glory to God, His  Father, and our Father.

Many people are confused, misguided or duped into thinking that everything they do or accomplish in life, is because they did it all. However, Deuteronomy 8:17-18 reminds us like how God reminded the children of Israel, “And thou say in thine heart, my power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth; But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is He who giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant …” You may say He is not talking about us, but I have to remind you that once you accept God’s gift of His only begotten son Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17), in whom He is well pleased, then you are a child of God and heirs to all the promises that God made to Abraham, but only through Jesus Christ. It said so in Galatians 3:26-29,

“For you are all sons of God through  faith in  Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus, and if you are Christ’s then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” 

Did you accept Christ in order to be included in the promise? If not you can do so now before it is too late. Just go to the top of this blog and click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions. It will be the best thing you ever do.

Now unto Him who is able to keep us from falling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the Immortal, Invisible, the Only Wise God be glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to deliver this message to His children. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY

Isaiah 52:7 says,
How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Most people associate the term, ‘be fruitful and multiply’ with sex and children, but in John 15 we see a different way that God wants us to be fruitful in order to multiply His children, who were stolen by the devourer (whose job is to steal, kill, and destroy). Jesus is telling us that if we abide in Him and He in us, then we too would be fruitful and multiply the kingdom of God if we choose to accept and follow Him, and spread the good news of all that He has done for us. So that those who receive the good news would experience a spiritual birth.
Romans 10:14-16 says,
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “ Lord , who has believed our report?”

In the latter days, contrary to popular belief that the pastor, bishop or whomever can save you, we see in John 3:16-17 that God has one beloved Son whom He sent to save us, and John 14:6 tells us that He is the only way to God. 1 Timothy 2:5 lets us know that there is only one God and one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus – who informs us in John 15:15 that without Him we can do absolutely nothing. Therefore, if you don’t abide in Him, you will not bear any fruit. Which means abiding in Him will enable you to be fruitful and multiply. God is glorified when we bear fruit or when we are fruitful and multiplying His kingdom, the angels in heaven throw a party and rejoice when one soul that was lost is saved. When you bear fruit you can look forward to hearing, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.”

Please understand that the proof that you love God is in keeping His commandments – all of them, not just the easy ones. John 10:10 tells us that when we keep His commandments we will abide in His love. Just imagine, that when you are obedient, how the showers of blessings will pour down from heaven and you will not even have room to store it. Abiding in Jesus has advantages, benefits and a retirement plan that the 401k can’t match, nor any insurance on earth.

John 15:11 shows us that when we abide in Jesus and He in us then we will be full of joy, which brings happiness and laughter. The world can’t give us peace or joy that surpasses all understanding and makes us full and contented.

This joy that Jesus gives, the world didn’t give it, and the world can’t take it away.

Would you like to abide in Jesus and have Him abide in you? Then, go to the Salvation Page above and read the instructions.

All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask the Lord to loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

SACRIFICES

SACRIFICE means you give up something,or someone for a better cause,or greater good. Most folk will sacrifice their time,money,and whole life for something that will be beneficial for them in the future. But God demonstrates to us what ultimate sacrifice does by giving up His only begotten Son,and His Son demonstrate His love for God His Father and us by sacrificing His life. In Romans 8:32 it says, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
Hebrews 9:23-28 NKJV

Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

GOOD,BETTER,BEST

I always love the saying, good, better, best. However, the only time we choose to use it, is when we lost something or someone. It is an effective quotation to hide our hurt, pain, and devastation. But if we look at it from a different perspective, there is a lot of truth behind the quote. I have been in situations where, I have lost a job I thought was good, then got a better one, lost that to get the best, with more money.

That’s why I stand on God’s word, and His promises, because,that’s when I realize that the quotation is true, it says:’And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose'(Romans 8:28). It’s always in losses, that God opens our eyes to see the blessings, He has in store for us, its then we see His grace, and mercies manifested, it’s then we should lose focus of the things, and people of this world, and focus on the only one who can see us through, and bring us out of the storms of life. Yes friends let me tell you, like it is: ‘we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed   ( 2 Corinthians 4:8-9).  

 I  love Gladys Knight song but I have to re-write it to suit me, ‘If anyone should ever write my life story, for whatever reason, please tell them Jesus is the best thing that ever happen to me’. The world can’t top what Jesus did on Calvary, no man or woman, no job, no degree, nothing can beat out Gods best for us.

Let me reveal a little secret to you, when we are afflicted, talked about, and mistreated, it is for our consolation and salvation.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God   ( 2 Corinthians 1:3-7). ‘Finally, my brethren,rejoice in the Lord…beware of dogs, people who do evil, and the mutilations of the flesh, for we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, so lets rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh'(Philippians 3:1-3). If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, go immediately to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page and follow the instructions, don’t delay tomorrow might be too late, open up your heart and let the redeemer in, it will be the best thing you ever did, and the best gift you ever received.

I give God the glory, praise, honor, and thanks for using me to get His message out to His people, I pray it blesses you as it did me, and may you obey His will, and walk according to His ways in Jesus Name, amen.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE JOURNEY

1.God is our refuge and strength,a very present help in trouble (Psalms 46:1)

2.For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous;but the way of the ungodly shall perish (Psalm 1:6).

3.There is no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus ,when we walk after the spirit ,and not the flesh(Romans 8:1)

4.After hearing the word of truth about salvation,and believing we are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise ( Ephesians 1:13)

5.The lord is our helper,so there is no reason to fear,what men will do;God never leaves or forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6;Deuteronomy 31:5)

6.Don’t forget that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who loves us,and gave His life for us (Romans 8:37)

7.Because we believe in Jesus Christ we will have everlasting life(John 6 :40)

8.God will keep us in perfect peace,when we keep our minds on Him and trust Him (Isaiah 26:3)

9.Our God will supply our needs,according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4 :19)

10. We must present our bodies as a living sacrifice to God as our reasonable service (Romans 12:1); because the wages of sin is death ,but the gift of God is  eternal life ( Romans 6:23)

As a believer in God and His only begotten son Jesus Christ(John 3:16-17), we can say these quotes and more with confidence,and blessed assurance that Jesus will come again,and that’s why we worship and adore Him.Now if you don’t know God and His son who was crucified for our sins,and is the only way to God and eternal life( John 14:6),allow me to introduce Him to you.

Just go to the top of this blog click on to the salvation page,then follow the instructions,it will be the best thing you ever did,and you can say those quotes above and more with confidence.

Now to the king Eternal,Immortal,Invisible,the only wise God, to Him be the glory,praise,honor,and thanks for using me to minister to His people.

A prayer for the world

This interesting prayer was given in Kansas,
USA, at the opening session of their Senate. It
seems prayer still upsets some people.
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open
the new session of the Kansas Senate,
everyone was expecting the usual generalities,
but this is what they heard:
“Heavenly Father, we come before you today to
ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction
and guidance. We know Your Word says: “Woe
to those who call evil good”, but that is exactly
what we have done.
* We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and
reversed our values.
* We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your
Word and called it Pluralism.
* We have worshipped other gods and called it
multiculturalism.
* We have endorsed perversion and called it
alternative lifestyle.
* We have exploited the poor and called it the
lottery.
* We have rewarded laziness and called it
welfare.
* We have killed our unborn and called it
choice.
* We have shot abortionists and called it
justifiable.
* We have neglected to discipline our children
and called it building self-esteem.
* We have abused power and called it politics.
* We have embezzled public funds and called it
essential expenses.
* We have insitutionalised bribery and called it
sweets of office.
* We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions
and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of
expression.
* We have ridiculed the time-honored values
of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh GOD, and know our hearts today;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Aamen!”
The response was immediate. A number of
legislators walked out during the prayer in
protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church,
where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than
5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls
responding negatively. The church is now
receiving international requests for copies of
this prayer from India, Africa and Korea.
With the LORD’S help, may this prayer sweep
over our nation and WHOLEHEARTEDLY
become our desire so that we again can be
called “ONE NATION UNDER GOD.”
Think about this: If you forward this prayer to
everyone on your list, in less than 30 days it
would be heard by the world. How many people
on your list will not receive this prayer…..do
you have the boldness to pass it on?
I HAVE.

TATTOO’S, GODLY OR UNGODLY

Some tattoos are nice, while others are just simply ridiculous. But the truth is, putting marks on your skin is like practicing to receive the mark of the beast (Revelation 14:11), the mark of the beast is the number 666 which is the mark of all anti-christ, which is the denial of the eternal son of God. Musicians, athletes, singers, and others practice to become perfect. So practicing putting marks on your skin makes you a perfect candidate for things you don’t want, like the mark of the beast.

Ok, you put the cross, and the name of Jesus on your body as a tattoo which is great in your eyes but people, He (Jesus) should be residing in your hearts. If you need a mark to remind you of your love or you feel that it should be displayed for the public, then you do not know who or for who you are. I have to quote from Matthew 15:7-9 saying this;

 “Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: These people draw near to me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”

Children of God remember that everything is not for us. In Leviticus 19:28 it reads,”You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead nor tattoo any marks on you.” Tattoos, my friends, are pagan customs used to honor the dead. The people who have the mark of the beast will be spiritually and physically dead with no chance of eternal life.

“You are the children of the Lord your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your head for the dead. Why? because you are Holy people to the Lord your God and the Lord has chosen you to be a peculiar people for Himself, a special treasure, above all the people who are on the face of the earth.” – Deuteronomy 14:1-2 We are a cut above the rest.

1 Peter 2:9 confirms our status by saying;

“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him (Jesus) who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”

Because of Jesus Christ we have direct access to God which makes us royalty, special, adopted children and a whole lot more. My friend are you in or out?

Another confirmation about who we are is found in Titus 2 :11-14 which reads: “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that through denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly, righteously  and Godly in the present age. Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.”

Today is your chance to be in the royal family of heaven, to be peculiar, to be Godly. Just go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page and follow the instructions. It will be the best thing you have ever done. Welcome, friends, to God’s family. All praises, glory, honor and thanks go to God. Thank you for using me to distribute Your message, to Your people.

WHO DO YOU RUN TO

Some people look to friends, family, bosses, banks and a whole lot of other people, places and things when troubles, trials and tribulations hit. We have a tendency to look to people who can’t help us out of the dramas and traumas of life, and if they do help us it’s a temporary fix. It’s like putting a band-aid over a wound that requires surgery or stitches.

However, Psalm 121 gives us the solution to all our problems. It recommends that we lift our eyes to the hills from whence cometh our true help, help that is only from the Lord who made heaven and earth. Unlike others who will allow you to be uprooted before they try to help. God will not suffer your foot to be moved, stumble, slip or let you fall. Why? Because, He does not get any glory, praise or thanks when we are unhappy and miserable; and His eyes are always on the righteous.

The phenomenal thing about our God is that he never slumbers or sleep, as Psalm 121:4 points out. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about anything happening that He will not see or hear. Psalm 46:1 reminds us that He is our present help in times of trouble. Philippians 4:19 reminds us that He is the supplier of all our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus. We’ll go back to Psalm 121:5-8, here He reminds us that He is our keeper, He is the shade upon our right hand. The sun or moon does not affect us, He makes sure of that. Just imagine if He didn’t control the sun or moon – we would burn up.

(Psalm 121:7) He preserves us from all evil and He shall preserve our souls. That’s why He also reminds us in Isaiah 54:17 that no weapon formed against us shall prosper and every tongue that rises against us we condemn because this is the right of His children. In Psalm 37:1 He tells us not to fret about evil doers because they will be cut down as the grass.

In Psalm 121:8 He said, He will preserve your going out and coming in, from when you were born until He takes you home to glory. So no matter what happens from now on look to God, trust God, rely on God, depend on God – He never fails.

God never slumbers or sleep, so why should we have sleepless nights because of stress or worry. Since He preserves our going out and coming in at all times why aren’t we trusting Him more?
