1. There is a peculiar stigma attached to PRISON and PRISONERS of affliction, this need not be so. Man is no stranger to PRISON; we were incarcerated in the womb for nine months and came into this world as PRISONERS OF SIN. SIN is more than what you did or did not do; it is the condition of your MIND “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his SERVANTS YE ARE to WHOM YE OBEY; whether of SIN UNTO DEATH, or of OBEDIENCE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS?” [Romans 6:16] We are born with a SOUL caged in a BODY subject to the sentence of DEATH. The agony of a PRISONER on death row, the sorrow of a dysfunctional marriage and extreme distress of cruel poverty are the same; they are cries of SOULS incarcerated in a BODY governed by SIN. I have GOOD NEWS for YOU, there is HOPE for your famished SOUL in Jesus Christ “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY” [2 Corinthians 3:17] Our HOPE is infallible, the GUARANTOR is God; He became like us in Jesus Christ, “… that through death he might destroy him that had the POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS THE DEVIL; And deliver them who through FEAR OF DEATH were all their lifetime SUBJECT TO BONDAGE” [Hebrews 2:14-15]
2. In Jesus Christ, we are no longer PRISONERS OF SIN, but of HOPE; the power of DEATH is broken in the FLESH, fully assured “… ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE” [Romans 8:28] Listen, whatever you presently count as TRIBULATION is accommodated in the PURPOSE of God to work for your good. Those who place their HOPE in God have no room for FEAR, GLOOM or SHAME, “… knowing that TRIBULATION worketh PATIENCE. And patience, EXPERIENCE; and experience, HOPE: And HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” [Romans 5:3-5] HOPE is made perfect in PATIENCE, allowing God to work out His PURPOSE in your life, “For YE HAVE NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might RECEIVE THE PROMISE” [Hebrews 10:36] PATIENCE is not complacency but a spirited campaign to quell all doubts in God’s willingness and ability to do what is best for you. Godly PATIENCE produces in us invaluable EXPERIENCE of how God works and strengthens confidence in Him in the midst of grueling adversity, as it did in David and “David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, HE WILL DELIVER ME out of the hand of this Philistine.…” [1 Samuel 17:37] Wipe away your tears, put your TRUST in God, “REJOICING IN HOPE; PATIENT IN TRIBULATION; continuing instant in PRAYER” [Romans 12:12]
3. We became PRISONERS OF HOPE when we exchanged the chains of SIN for the YOKE of REST in Jesus Christ, as it is written: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall FIND REST UNTO YOUR SOULS” [Matthew 11:28-29] We are PRISONERS OF HOPE who TRUST in Christ beyond our present circumstances, for “If in this life only we have HOPE IN CHRIST, we are of all men most miserable” [1 Corinthians 15:19] Our HOPE in Him is anchored on God’s eternal PURPOSE to bring us to an EXPECTED END, as it is written: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, THOUGHTS OF PEACE, and NOT OF EVIL, to give you an EXPECTED END” [Jeremiah 29:11] The “END” God has for you transcend the misery of your PRISON cell, the pain of terminal cancer or the shame of abject poverty. In all these things and more, we are PRISONERS OF HOPE, dead to this world but alive to God’s promise of EXPECTED END, “For ye are dead, and YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST in God” [Colossians 3:3] In Him, we are delivered from FEAR of what men and demons may do to this BODY, we have His PEACE and our SOULS are secure in Him, therefore, “… FEAR NOT them which kill the body, but are NOT ABLE TO KILL THE SOUL: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” [Matthew 10:28]
4. As long as we are in this BODY, we are PRISONERS OF HOPE. We look forward with PATIENCE to the day when every PRISON wall of affliction shall be broken and we shall be delivered from this earthly BODY, “Beloved, now are we the SONS OF GOD, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is” [1 John 3:2] In that day, it shall no longer matter what men did to this BODY or the shame of PRISON chains. In the twinkling of an eye, we shall be translated into celestial glory. Those who died in the Lord shall not be left out, “… the DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS” [ 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18]
5. Friend, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today and be delivered from PRISON OF SIN to the LIBERTY and REST of SONS OF GOD, amename

FATAL ATTRACTION
1. FATAL ATTRACTION was the root of SIN; Eve was SEDUCED, REASON overthrow her FAITH and HOPE of living forever vanished, when she “… SAW that the TREE was GOOD FOR FOOD, and that it was PLEASANT TO THE EYES, and a tree to be DESIRED TO MAKE ONE WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did EAT, and GAVE ALSO UNTO HER HUSGAND with her; and HE DID EAT” [Genesis 3:6] FATAL ATTRACTION, the opening salvo, is also the END-GAME of SATANIC WARFARE; our SENSES are daily assaulted by SEDUCING SPIRITS with the ALLURE of THINGS that are SEEN, to subvert our FAITH in THINGS HOPED for in Jesus Christ, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall DEPART FROM THE FAITH, GIVING HEED TO SEDUCING SPIRITS, and DOCTRINES OF DEVILS” [1 Timothy 4:1] As Eve “DID EAT” and gave to Adam and “HE DID EAT”, so are some who were once TRUE to the FAITH but fallen to SEDUCING SPIRITS inflame LUST in you for the VANITIES of this world, to separate you from God “For all that is in the world, the LUST OF THE FLESH, and the LUST OF THE EYES, and the PRIDE OF LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” [1 John 2:16]
2. There is a growing brand of Christianity that peddle CRASS MATERIALISM “… SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW THYSELF” [1 Timothy 6:5] Come to your senses, it is FATAL ATTRACTION! The GOSPEL we received from the Apostles goes with a commandment, “… SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” [Matthew 6:33] Ask yourself, how come those who preach “PROSPERITY” also beg and extort donations from you, and with “… feigned words MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU.: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not” [2 Peter 2:3] They provoke you to SIN with hurtful LUSTS in a RAT RACE to enrich themselves, “For the LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL: which while some coveted after, they have ERRED FROM THE TRUTH, and pierced themselves through with MANY SORROWS” [1Timothy 6:10] Search the Scriptures, Jesus neither promised nor made any man a millionaire, He DIED for the SALVATION of your SOUL. We are SAVED to serve Him who DIED for us, not MAMMON. I encourage to give priority to your SALVATION, engage in honest labour, “… lest any man spoil you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” [Colossians 2:8] Always remember, “… we brought nothing into this world, and IT IS CERTAIN WE CAN CARRY NOTHING OUT” [1 Timothy 6:7]
3. The global attention to the election of Joe Biden as President of the USA exposed the FATAL ATTRACTION of the NEW WORLD ORDER. We saw Christians throw caution to the winds, to join non-Christians in heated debates as global CITIZENS; a preview of what lies ahead, as it is written: “And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all THE WORLD WONDERERD AFTER THE BEAST” [Revelation 13:3] Beloved, we cannot change this world, it is doomed. God has prepared a BETTER PLACE for us, who, “… DESIRE A BETTER COUNTRY, that is, an HEAVENLY: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath PREPARED FOR THEM A CITY” [Hebrews 11:16] We are PILGRIMS in this world, those who persuade you to dabble into needless debates to change this world ENTICE you into a war you cannot win. It is true there is so much that is wrong with this world, let us resist the temptation to jump into the fray and miss the train at His appearance, for “No man that warreth ENTANGLETH HIMSELF WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THIS LIFE; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier” [2 Timothy 2:4] We are commanded to pray for all rulers, not to take sides or contend as political or social activists, thus says the Lord: “My kingdom is not of this world: IF MY KINGDOM WERE OF THIS WORLD, THEN WOULD MY SERVANTS FIGHT, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence” [John 18:36]
4. As the world staggers from instability to climate change and intractable pandemic, there is palpable fascination with PROPHECY as a window to the future. The ALLURE of PROPHECY without the TESTIMONY of Christ is FATAL ATTRACTION to those who miss the WAY, “… the TESTIMONY OF CHRIST IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” [Revelation 19:10] FASCINATION with Bible PROPHECY without attendant revival in the TESTIMONY of His appearance is the working tool of FALSE RELIGION. No PROPHECY of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is subject to personal interpretation. They all TESTIFY of Christ.; His BIRTH, DEATH, ASCENSION and imminent APPEARANCE to receive His BRIDE [John 5:39] Focus on making yourself ready for the appearance of the Lord and be not ignorantly overcome by some who see the MARK of the BEAST in every global event. They APPEAL to the rudiments of FEAR, not FAITH, to sow PANIC and CONFUSION with Bible PROPHECY. Listen carefully, the MARK comes after the BRIDE is caught up, “For the ROD OF THE WICKED SHALL NOT REST UPON THE LOT OF THE RIGHTEOUS; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity” [Psalms 125:3] Beloved, every WORD in the Bible was inspired by God; draw near to Him, He will teach you “But I fear, lest by any means, as the SERPENT BEGUILED EVE through his subtilty, SO YOUR MINDS SHOULD BE CORRUPTED from the SIMPLICITY THAT IS IN CHRIST” [2 Corinthians 11:3]
5. Friend Jesus Christ is coming, accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, and SAVE your SOUL from perdition, Amen -
ISRAEL OF GOD
1. ISRAEL is fulfilment of the PROMISE of God to Abraham; “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” [Genesis 12:3] The BLESSING was established in Jacob, as forerunner of those who shall PREVAIL by the SPIRIT of the Lord to inherit his kingdom, “… for BY STRENGTH SHALL NO MAN PREVAIL” [1Samuel 2:9] The BLESSING is Jesus Christ, manifest in His ANGEL, saying; ”… Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but ISRAEL, FOR AS A PRINCE HAST THOU POWER with God and with men, and hast prevailed” [Genesis 32:28] At the appointed time, the Lord was manifest in the FLESH and by His DEATH on the Cross established the BLESSING in us. We are the ISRAEL OF GOD in Christ, as much as those who received the LAW and the TESTIMONY, and more “For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but A NEW CREATURE. And AS MANY AS WALK ACCORDING TO THIS RULE, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the ISRAEL OF GOD” [Galatians 6:15-16] We are the ISRAEL OF GOD, who WALK after the RULE of the Spirit, “That the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US, who WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, but AFTER THE SPIRIT” [Romans 8:4]
2. ISRAEL is by CALLING, not of BIRTH, “… For they are NOT ALL ISRAEL, WHICH ARE OF ISRAEL” [Romans 9:6] Those who left Egypt were ISRAEL by BIRTH, “And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they DRANK OF THAT SPIRITUAL ROCK that followed them: and THAT ROCK WAS CHRIST. But with MANY OF THEM GOD WAS NOT WELL PLEASED: for they were OVERTHROWN IN THE WILDERNESS” [1 Corinthians 10:4-5] When we BELIEVED we also became partakers of the LIVING WATERS, as it written: “He that BELIEVETH ON ME, as the scripture hath said, OUT OF HIS BELLY SHALL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER” [John 7:38] Listen closely, God was GRIEVED with them that DRANK in the wilderness, “But with whom was he GRIEVED FORTY YEARS? was it not with THEM THAT SINNED, WHOSE CARCASES FELL IN THE WILDERNESS?” [Hebrews 3:17] If those who SINNED perished in the wilderness, we do well to abstain from SIN, “Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are WRITTEN FOR OUR ADMONITION, UPON WHOM THE END OF THE WORLD ARE COME” [1 Corinthians 10:11] Brethren, the END OF THE WORLD is come, when we shall be glorified, but “… neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God” [1 Corinthians 6:9-10]
3. ISRAEL OF GOD are the army of PILGRIMS seeking a “… BETTER COUNTRY, that is, AN HEAVENLY: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for HE HATH PREPARED FOR THEM A CITY” [Hebrews 11:16] We are surrounded by WITNESSES who all “… DIED IN FAITH, not having received the promises, but HAVING SEEN THEM AFAR OFF, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and CONFESSED THAT THEY WERE STRANGERS and PILGRIMS on the earth” [Hebrews 11:13] As PILGRIMS, we must be careful not to be overtaken by deceitfulness of riches, as to stray from our heavenly HOPE as did ISRAEL in the FLESH, and it is written: “But JESHURUN WAXED FAT and KICKED: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he FORSOOK GOD WHICH MADE HIM, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation” [Deuteronomy 32:15] Listen carefully, ISRAEL OF GOD is counted by FAITH, not by POSSESSIONS; our FAITH is anchored on “THINGS HOPED FOR” not things that are SEEN [Hebrews 11:1] We are the ISRAEL OF GOD, who turn away from pleasures of SIN, esteeming what is not SEEN above the PROSPERITY OF FOOLS, “For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the PROSPERITY OF FOOLS shall destroy them” [Proverbs 1:32] We are not distracted, steadfastly looking “… for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God” [Hebrews 11:10]
4.ISRAEL OF GOD are the JEWELS of creation, “And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, IN THAT DAY when I make up MY JEWELS; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him” [Malachi 3:17] That DAY is round the corner, when God shall take His JEWELS out of this world, and now shall we be PROVED, as gold is TRIED by FIRE, “For the time is come that JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” [1 Peter 4:17] Our FAITH in Christ is daily put to multiple TESTS, as the world descends into TRIBULATION, but we are not deterred, as it is written: “BE NOT THOU ASHAMED OF THE TESTIMONY OF THE LORD, nor of me his prisoner: but BE THOU PARTAKER OF THE AFFLICTIONS OF THE GOSPEL according to the power of God” [2 Timothy 1:8] Beloved, I plead with you to anchor your FAITH on the TESTIMONY OF THE LORD and be not conformed to those who profess to be ISRAEL but not the ISRAEL OF GOD, who “… WITH FEIGNED WORDS MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not” [2 Peter 2:3] WATCH and PRAY, daily looking forward to the day the dead in Christ shall arise, and “… we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord” [1 Thessalonians 4:17]
5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen
