LET THE WOMAN BE SILENT; is this a new doctrine or Bible Truth?https://youtube.com/watch?v=lCdiKI_LKfQ&si=253EgqE6ru3D-NHS

UNCERTAINTY defines the present world and CERTAINTY, our down payment of the world to come

“… Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Matthew 24:4

1. DIMENSION OF FALSE CHRISTS give credence to the FINAL CALL of the age as in Matthew 22:1-14, “So those servants went out into the HIGHWAYS, and gathered together all as many as they found, BOTH BAD AND GOOD: and the wedding was furnished with guests” [Matthew 22:10] We slipped into FINAL CALL when Israel returned to the Promised Land in 1948; ever since, preaching of the GOSPEL brought in both GOOD and BAD “SEEDS”. The duo, nourished by divine providence are inseparable to naked eyes, “… for he maketh HIS SUN TO RISE ON THE EVIL and ON THE GOOD, and sendeth RAIN ON THE JUST and ON THE UNJUST” [Matthew 5:45] Be not surprised, GIFTS and CALLINGS of the Spirit came upon both alike and the latter, being inherently “WISER” according to the manner of this world took advantage to bestride the earth in readiness to fulfil prophecy, “… for the CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD are in their generation WISER than the CHILDREN OF LIGHT” [Luke 16:8] The two “SEEDS” profess Christ and mature, ready for HARVEST but one is FALSE. Beloved the days ahead call for vigilance, that you be not ensnared in DIMENSION OF FALSE CHRISTS, “For THERE SHALL ARISE FALSE CHRISTS, and false prophets, and shall shew great SIGNS and WONDERS; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall DECEIVE the very ELECT” [Matthew 24:24] 

2. DIMENSION OF FALSE CHRISTS is the prophetic end-time manifestation of the son of the BOND WOMAN, “But he who was of the bondwoman was BORN AFTER THE FLESH; but HE OF THE FREEWOMAN WAS BY PROMISE” [Galatians 4:23] FALSE CHRISTS are as Ishmael, they are bigger than the son of PROMISE, nourished from both sides of the divide and primed for such a time as this. The world is at crossroads of divine agenda; the appearance of the Lord is close, preceded by the MAN OF SIN, “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come A FALLING AWAY, and that MAN OF SIN be revealed, the son of perdition” [Thessalonians 2:3] As Ishmael was the son of Abraham in the flesh, circumcised and schooled in extant religion but not of God as by PROMISE, so are FALSE CHRISTS in the Church; they shall be cast and in the process lead many astray, “Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the BLIND LEAD THE BLIND, both shall fall into the ditch” [Matthew 15:14] Beloved, do due diligence to examine whether your affiliation to Christ is of traditions or of FAITH in the revelation and PROMISE of TRUTH. There are FALSE CHRISTS in the fold, they loom large over the Church and speak of Christ with much affection but smother your FAITH with platitudes of worldliness, “And through covetousness shall they 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]

3. DIMENSION OF FALSE CHRISTS, among others, is the dominion of men whose claim to spiritual authority is INFALLIBILITY. They are FALSE not because they are rich or famous but for arrogating to themselves all-sufficiency that belongs to with the glorified body we shall receive at the appearance of Christ, “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and HAVE NEED OF NOTHING; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked” [Revelation 3:17] If the Lord Jesus Christ, while He was in this body was hungry, thirsty, groaned and wept in demonstration of His humanity, let us be wary of those who present themselves as beyond reproach in the body, even as Apostle Paul testified, ‘”NOT AS THOUGH I HAD ALREADY ATTAINED, EITHER WERE ALREADY PERFECT: but I FOLLOW AFTER, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus” [Philippians 3:12] They wear with PRIDE garments of soiled perfection and with sham humility brush aside all entreaties to submit to PRESENT TRUTH. Having in their own conceit “ATTAINED” they plague their flocks with endless schedule of religious activities such that they have no time to experience personal relationship with God [2 Timothy 3:7] Their words as the roaring of a hungry lion brooks neither counsel nor correction, “Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your adversary the DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” [1 Peter 5:8] 

4. DIMENSION OF FALSE CHRISTS is the reality of TARES separated from WHEAT in BUNDLES to be burned, “Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the TARES, and BIND THEM IN BUNDLES TO BURN THEM: but gather the wheat into my barn” [Matthew 13:30] Expectedly, there are TARES in the Church, men and women who came into the fold without passing through the DOOR and having not the wedding garment of righteousness that comes from fellowship of Christ’s suffering, have no part in the marriage supper of the LAMB. FALSE CHRISTS are rallying points for TARES, each one after its own kind in BUNDLES. The resources they commit making proselytes in their own likeness, not after Christ, is mind-boggling “… hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make ONE PROSELYTE, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the CHILD OF HELL than yourselves” [Matthew 23:15] Let us be sober and vigilant not to be railroaded into any of these BUNDLES and there are many; crass materialism, religious witchcraft, political activism, etc. BUNDLING is gathering speed and very soon they shall coalesce into one Apostate Church to present their harvest to the Man of Sin, “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” [Revelation 18:4] Come out of the lies and hypocrisies, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen

PREDESTINATION is anchored on FOREKNOWLEDGE of the All-knowing God, “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure” (Isaiah 46:10)

1. What or who are TARES? TARES have their root in Satan’s savage misinterpretation of God’s WORD; God said man shall not eat of the tree in the midst of the garden, Satan said; “… YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then YOUR EYES SHALL BE OPENED, and YE SHALL BE AS GODS, knowing GOOD and EVIL” [Genesis 3:3-5] Eve indeed DIED to the LIFE of God and we became slaves to SIN and DEATH from the womb. God’s WORD is GOOD SEED, TARES are Satan’s attributes concealed in a life form adaptable to man. GOOD SEED is the LIFE of God which at the appointed time was made FLESH in Jesus Christ “In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD WAS GOD. … And the WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, …” [John 1:1 & 14] TARES have a form similar to GOOD SEED but lack the substance, there is an outward appearance of godliness but inwardly a cesspool of demonic rottenness, “… WHITED SEPULCHRES, which indeed appear BEAUTIFUL OUTWARD, but are WITHIN FULL OF DEAD MEN’S BONES, and of all uncleanness” [Matthew 23:27] Be not surprised to see TARES demonstrate GIFTS of the Spirit, Judas did but a fiery end awaits them. Thus says the Lord, “… GATHER YE TOGETHER FIRST THE TARES, and BIND THEM IN BUNDLES to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn” [Matthew13:30]

2. GOOD SEED is God manifest in Jesus Christ; PROMISE of His birth was SEED to the Fathers. His death on the Cross was the SEED revealed to their children and to us, sure PROMISE of His appearance is the GOOD SEED, “Jesus Christ the same YESTERDAY, and TO DAY, and FOR EVER” [Hebrews 13:8] TARES are invasive and very much aggressive in their generations, they went to great lengths in time past to snuff out those who held on to the PROMISE of their season and do worse today, even as “… Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous” [1 John3:12] The GOOD SEED of this season is the certain PROMISE of Christ’s imminent appearance which to us is Present Truth; the anchor of our FAITH and ROCK of our HOPE. Expectedly, our HOPE in Christ which cannot be exchanged for any thing in this world is the object of cruel satanic warfare. Edict of Milan, circa 313 A D, produced a Church divorced from Christ; a vicious army of TARES raging and foaming against His PROMISE and still do [Revelation 17:4-6] Her progeny transcend denominations and time with preachers steeped in occultism but much beloved of a dying world. Regardless, True Church remains standing, the BRIDE of Jesus Christ in HOPE of glorious reunion at the MARRIAGE SUPPER of the LAMB, “FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom” [Luke 12:32]

3. Protestant REFORMATION of the 16th Century was no sooner started it was infiltrated by a new strain of TARES, “But WHILE MEN SLEPT, HIS ENEMY came and SOWED TARES among the wheat, and went his way” [Matthew 13:25] Doctrines of universal SALVATION by GRACE through FAITH and of HOPE in Christ’s Coming were surreptitiously sullied with unlearned arguments about the GODHEAD. Making the Godhead a union of three distinct personalities introduced a new brand of TARES, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD” [Deuteronomy 6:4] This strain of TARES are worse than the former, professing righteousness and HOPE in Christ and His Coming but deny who He is, “I am ALPHA and OMEGA, the beginning and the ending, SAITH THE LORD, which is, and which was, and which is to come, THE ALMIGHTY” [Revelation 1:8] If our FAITH is anchored on union of three distinct personalities in the Godhead, we remain idolaters and TARES for all intents and purposes, “Beware lest any man spoil you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITIONS of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY” [Colossians 2:8-9] Those who give three characters to the Godhead deny the TRUTH and without restraint ensnare themselves in gods of silver and gold, “… they with FEIGNED WORDS make MERCHANDISE of you: whose JUDGMENT now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation SLUMBERETH not” [2 Peter 2:2-3] 

4. The worst breed of TARES were reserved for the end; the revivals in the 1930s through 1960s inundated the earth with GOOD SEED, then crept in the DECEIVER, “For there shall arise FALSE CHRISTS, and FALSE PROPHETS, and shall shew great SIGNS and WONDERS; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall DECEIVE the very elect” [Matthew 24:24] This genus of TARES look so much as the much desired WHEAT but FALSE; FALSE, not by what they preach but their FRUIT, “Wherefore BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM” [Matthew 7:20] They are adepts of secrets of darkness and with shrewd manipulation present themselves as power of God but their flocks look more like them than Christ. God is not mocked, I see them and other clans of TARES fall into their BUNDLES to be burned, “And I heard another VOICE FROM HEAVEN, saying, COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” [Revelation 18:4] As the day draws near when the Lord shall appear in glory and we shall be caught to be with Him forever, examine your FAITH in Christ. If any man is in doubt let him submit to Present Truth, put aside pollution of TARES and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, “Wherefore LAY APART ALL FILTHINESS and superfluity of NAUGHTINESS, and RECEIVE WITH MEEKNESS THE ENGRAFTED WORD, which is able to save your souls” [James 1:21]

There is a God-approved PATTERN OF SALVATION, one step before the next 

SOUND DOCTRINE produces men in the LIKENESS of Jesus Christ

DOCTRINE is Present Truth, “Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth” (2 Peter 1:12)

Jesus Christ is God revealed, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” Colossians 2:9

1. A TESTAMENT is the PROMISE of a TESTATOR to share His ESTATE to specified BENEFICIARIES after his DEATH. In this case, the TESTATOR is God and man is the BENEFICIARY, “What is man, ...  THOU HAST PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. … HE LEFT NOTHING THAT IS NOT PUT UNDER HIM But now we see not yet all things put under him” [Hebrews 2:6-8] God’s TESTAMENT was not an AGREEMENT made with any man but the sovereign WILL of the FATHER to reveal Himself in the SON, “For unto which of the angels said he at any time, THOU ART MY SON, this day have I BEGOTTEN THEE? And again, I will be to him a FATHER, and he shall be to me a SON?” [Hebrews 1:5] The SON is FULNESS of God revealed in Jesus Christ, henceforth the TESTATOR; God became like us, that we being in conformity with the SON might inherit His ESTATE, “Beware 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. For IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULNESS OF THE GODHEAD bodily” [Colossians 2:8-9] God’s TESTAMENT is addressed to all men, as many as shall receive the FATHER in the SON; irrespective of race and gender, “But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he power to become the SONS OF GOD, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” [John 1:12] 

2. God must DIE to have His TESTAMENT enforced, “For where a TESTAMENT is, there must also of necessity be the DEATH OF THE TESTATOR” [Hebrews 9:16] As soon as man fell into SIN, we lost all legitimacy to the PROMISE: the TESTATOR was required to DIE to enforce the TESTAMENT of our REDEMPTION. God presented Himself in Jesus Christ, “… as of a LAMB without blemish and without spot: Who verily was FOREORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, but was MANIFEST IN THESE LAST TIMES for you” [1 Peter 1:18-19] For the time being, He slew lambs in place of the TESTATOR, the LAMB of God, “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD GOD MAKE COATS OF SKINS, and CLOTHED THEM” [Genesis 3:21] The TESTAMENT was secured with a COVENANT brokered with BLOOD of animals; AGREEMENT was reached to attenuate SIN with “COVERING’” of animal sacrifice. This first COVENANT restored many generations to the TESTAMENT and by it Abel had witness that he PLEASED God, “And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD HAD RESPECT UNTO ABEL and to his offering” [Genesis 4:4] This COVENANT was at best a temporary reprieve till Jesus should come, “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but A BODY HAST THOU PREPARED” [Hebrews 10:4-5] 

3. The first COVENANT was not the TESTAMENT or ‘OLD TESTAMENT” as often referred, it was an AGREEMENT between God and man to settle DISAGREEMENTS till Jesus Christ should come, “Wherefore the LAW WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US UNTO CHRIST, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster” [Galatians 3:24-25] This AGREEMENT and the framework of LAW that formalized it were not FAULTLESS, by reason of weakness of BLOOD of animals to make FULL PAYMENT for SIN, “For if that FIRST COVENANT had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the SECOND. … In that he saith, A NEW COVENANT, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away” [Hebrews 8:7-13] Jesus Christ, by His DEATH on the Cross made full PAYMENT for SIN, FULFILLING all TERMS and CONDITIONS of the LAW, as it is written: “Think not that I am come to destroy the LAW, or the PROPHETS: I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFIL” [Matthew 5:17] In FULFILLING the OLD COVENANT, He made it redundant and initiated the NEW with His own BLOOD. The NEW COVENANT is likewise not the TESTAMENT per se but a new and better WAY to return to God as CHILDREN and HEIRS of His INHERITANCE through Jesus Christ, “And if CHILDREN, then heirs; HEIRS OF GOD, and JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST; if so be that we SUFFER WITH HIM, that we may be also GLORIFIED TOGETHER” [Romans 8:17]

4. God’s TESTAMENT is a sure PROMISE, “And this is the PROMISE that he hath PROMISED US, even ETERNAL LIFE” [1 John2:24-25] SEAL of His TESTAMENT is the PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE, secured with BLOOD COVENANTS. The men of old, in spite of the weakness of the BLOOD of animals obtained a good report of FAITH in the PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE, “And these all, having OBTAINED A GOOD REPORT through FAITH, received not the PROMISE: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be MADE PERFECT” [Hebrews 11:39-40] We have a better COVENANT who trust in Jesus Christ, having in us the EARNEST of our INHERITANCE, “… SEALED with that HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE, Which is the EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory” [Ephesians 1:13-14] We are troubled without by present instabilities like all men, we are emboldened within in HOPE of the INHERITANCE awaiting us at the sudden appearance of Jesus Christ; not ourselves alone but as many as shall receive the FATHER in the name of the SON, for “… Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him” [1 Corinthians 2:9] Will you secure your name in His TESTAMENT today? Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen
 

If there is a BEGINNING, whatever you BELIEVE, "BIG BANG" or CREATION, there must of necessity be THE END, "For SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be cut off" [Proverbs 23:18]

1. When God said, ‘… Let us make man in our IMAGE, after our LIKENESS: …”, He spoke of the GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST, the “… BRIGHTNESS of his GLORY, and the EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON …” [Genesis 1:26. Hebrews 1:3] SIN marred the IMAGE in man and prevented crowning GLORY of God’s LIKENESS in man, “For ALL HAVE SINNED, and come short of the glory of God; Being JUSTIFIED FREELY by his GRACE through the REDEMPTION that is in Christ Jesus” [Romans 3:23-24] Our REDEMPTION is the MYSTERY of all time, God was manifest in Jesus Christ to RECONCILE us to Himself, “To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of RECONCILIATION” [2 Corinthians 5:19] The terms and season of our SALVATION and CONFORMITY with Jesus Christ were settled before the beginning, “… FOREORDAINED BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, but was manifest in these last times for you” [1 Peter 1:10-20] We are the GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST, who receive Jesus Christ as God manifest in flesh and CONFORM to His LIKENESS, “For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDETINATE to be CONFORMED to the IMAGE of his SON, that he might be the FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BRETHREN” [Romans 8:29]

2. Every GENERATION has progenitors with traceable precepts, even Jesus Christ, as it is written: “The book of the GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST, the son of DAVID, the son of ABRAHAM” [Matthew 1:1] We are the GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST, CALLED out of the world in the manner of Abraham, to who God said, “… GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY, and from thy KINDRED, and from thy FATHER’S HOUSE, unto a land that I WILL SHEW THEE. … and I will BLESS thee, …” [Genesis 12:1-2] We are the GENERATION redeemed out of the misery of SIN by the GOSPEL preached in the NAME of Jesus Christ, who by His BLOOD are HEIRS of the PROMISE, “That the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the GENTILES through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the SPIRIT through FAITH” [Galatians 3:14] The PROMISE in Genesis 1 26-28 was to ALL MEN, Jews and non-Jews; Your race or gender is no impediment to inheriting the PROMISE and BLESSING of SONS of God, “But as many as RECEIVED HIM, to them gave he POWER to become the SONS OF GOD, even to them that BELIEVE IN HIS NAME” [John 112] Those who BELIEVE in His NAME no longer live for themselves but to please God in the manner of Abraham, putting aside whatever he wanted to be to become what God desired him to be, “… dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the HEIRS with him of the same PROMISE: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God” [Hebrews 11:10]

3. We are the GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST, who like David overcame primordial FEAR to possess the PROMISE, “And David said to Saul, LET NO MAN’S HEART FAIL because of him; thy servant will go and FIGHT with this Philistine” [1 Samuel 17:32] Israel had the physical PROMISE, land of Canaan, but lived in fear; there were adversaries and portions unoccupied. The same can be said of the present Church age, those who went before us fought hard to establish the FAITH but we live in fear of adversaries and portions remain unreached. GENERATION OF JESUS CHRIST is God’s end-time ARMY of men and women who have overcome all fears, “Casting down IMAGINATIONS, and every HIGH THING that exalteth itself against the KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and bringing into captivity every THOUGHT to the OBEDIENCE” [2Corinthians 10:5] David put down Goliath, the GIANTS of today are false doctrines, grand deceptions, conspiracy theories, crass materialism, etc., “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against PRINCIPALITIES, against POWERS, against the rulers of the DARKNESS of this world, against SPIRITUAL WICKEDNESS in high places” [Ephesians 6:12] We are SOLDIERS of Christ not CELEBRITIES and have no room for worldly distractions, always in readiness to endure everything the enemy throws at us, “Thou therefore ENDURE HARDNESS, as a good SOLDIER of Jesus Christ. 4 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 2:3-4]

THE NICODEMUS QUESTION underscores the MYSTERY of TRUTH, “Even the MYSTERY which hath been HID from ages and from generations, but now is made MANIFEST to his saints” [Colossians 1:26]

1. BODY OF CHRIST is the representation of God in heaven and earth in the likeness of Jesus Christ, “For in him dwelleth all the FULNESS of the GODHEAD BODILY” [Colossians 2:9] The GODHEAD was unveiled before Angels in the FIRSTBEGOTTEN, Jesus Christ, “And again, when he BRINGETH IN THE FIRSTBEGOTTEN into the world, he saith, And LET ALL ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM” [Hebrews 11:6] No Angel had ever seen God, the commandment to WORSHIP Christ was a sore TRIAL OF FAITH; those who obeyed were joined to God in One HEAVENLY BODY, those who denied Him fell, “And the great DRAGON WAS CAST OUT, that old SERPENT, called the DEVIL, and SATAN, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his ANGELS WERE CAST OUT with him” [Revelation 12:9] The FIRSTBEGOTTEN came to us in FLESH and BLOOD, that we, irrespective of race and gender should be joined to God in the BODY OF CHRIST. We are the BODY OF CHRIST on earth, who received Him as the fulness of the GODHEAD and shall in due season be united with the HEAVENLY BODY in One ETERNAL BODY, “For as the BODY IS ONE, and hath MANY MEMBERS, and all the members of that ONE BODY, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.… Now ye are the BODY OF CHRIST, and members in particular” [1 Corinthians 12:12-27]

2. BODY OF CHRIST is the assembly of TRUE WORSHIPPERS, “GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must WORSHIP HIM in SPIRIT and in TRUTH” [John 4:24] His BODY is not a religious organization that a man may join by registration or affiliation; valid membership is not in the hands of men to grant but solely by NEW BIRTH, “Being BORN AGAIN, not of CORRUPTIBLE SEED, but of incorruptible, by the WORD OF GOD, which liveth and abideth for ever” [1 Peter 1:23] The phrase, “YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN” is not a denominational doctrine and a stumbling block to many through the ages, even the learned. Nicodemus, a man learned in the Law and Prophets as revealed to Israel was none the wiser when confronted with the expression, “.. How can a MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?” [John 3:4] NEW BIRTH is not a gradual experience but as a baby is delivered in one day, so are we BORN AGAIN of the HOLY GHOST. The HOLY GHOST, the SPIRIT of the risen Christ is knocking at the door of your heart right now; if you will confess your sins and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour He will come in, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: IF ANY MAN HEAR my voice, and OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” [Revelation 3:20] If any man has not the SPIRIT of Christ, he is not of the BODY OF CHRIST, “… Now if any man have not the SPIRIT OF CHRIST, he is none of his” [Romans 8:9]

3. We are the BODY OF CHRIST, many MEMBERS but ONE BODY, according to the PURPOSE of God in Jesus Christ, “To wit, that GOD WAS IN CHRIST, RECONCILING the WORLD unto HIMSELF, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation” [2 Corinthians 5:19] As God was in Jesus Christ, so is He in us by His SPIRIT, we are His BODY and many MEMBERS; as members of a man’s body work to fulfil his purpose, so does God in us to accomplish His Eternal PURPOSE, “For it is GOD which WORKETH IN YOU both to WILL and to DO of HIS GOOD PLEASURE” [Philippians 2:13] We are the BODY OF CHRIST who have yielded our lives to serve God in the manner of Jesus Christ, who was OBEDIENT to the end in the face of cruel death, “And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became OBEDIENT UNTO DEATH, even the death of the cross” [Philippians 2:8] We are the BODY OF CHRIST not by confession only but also of SACRIFICE, saying goodbye to whatever we ever wished to be to become a LIVING SACRIFICE, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, … PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” [Romans 12:1] We are ONE BODY, each MEMBER bearing his own share of present suffering fully assured on unrivaled glory at His appearance, “If WE SUFFER, we SHALL ALSO REIGN with him: if we DENY HIM, he also will DENY US” [2 Timothy 2:12]

4. BODY OF CHRIST is according to FOREKNOWLEDGE of God, “For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the IMAGE of his SON, that he might be the FIRSTBORN among many brethren” [Romans 8:29] FOREKNOWLEDGE is not PREDESTINATION; God gave all men FREE WILL and KNEW before we were born who would take His offer of SALVATION in Jesus Christ. In like manner, He FOREKNEW the Angels that would accept the FIRSTBEGOTTEN, that we and them should be joined to Him as ONE in the “… general assembly and CHURCH OF THE FIRSTBORN, which are WRITTEN IN HEAVEN, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect” [Hebrews 12:23] We are all offsprings of God and demonstrated His LOVE for us in sending HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that in Christ we should be reconciled to Him, “For GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, that he gave HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that whosoever BELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE” [John 3:16] We are the BODY OF CHRIST yet we groan in this earthly body as the world is tossed from calamity to another, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which GOD HATH PREPARED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM” [1 Corinthians 2:9] God LOVES you, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen

1. How I wish things would be different and I should tell you how rosy days ahead would be. Nonetheless, Sun will continue to rise in the East and go down in the West; new houses built and more millionaires made as we plunge into DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN, “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all” Luke 17:26-27] Days ahead will sap the STRENGTH of the mighty; events that dominated 2023 and years before will not disappear in a hurry; wars, climate instability, famine, social decadence shall defy solution as prophecy is fulfilled, “Men's HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of HEAVEN SHALL BE SHAKEN” [Luke 21:26] As nations move farther and farther away from God in search of PEACE and PROSPERITY, FEAR and CONFUSION shall sap their STRENGTH and ensnared in destruction.  Friend, STRENGTH FOR THE DAYS AHEAD is not in governments, technology, money or intellect but in God, “For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In RETURNING and REST shall ye be SAVED; in QUIETNESS and in CONFIDENCE shall be your STRENGTH: and ye would not” [Isaiah 30:15]

2. Through unbridled self-interest, present architecture of global commerce, governance and societal values shall witness swift and radical changes as we slide into a New World Order, “See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as WISE, Redeeming the time, because THE DAYS ARE EVIL” [Ephesians 5:15-16] Every known anchor of human VALUES and STRENGTH shall be put to test and fail, as currencies and societal ideals shift like sand dunes, then shall they who TRUST in the Lord say to themselves, “GOD IS OUR REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very present HELP IN TROUBLE. THEREFORE WILL WE NOT FEAR, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea” [Psalms 46:1-2] The days ahead require God’s STRENGTH to navigate, nations struggling to maintain stability as a drunken man who remembers not his way home; so shall it be, for we have not passed this way before. You probably have heard of God’s GOODNESS, as many of us did growing up, what you may not know is His enduring Promise to walk you through the days ahead,  “When thou passest through the waters, I WILL BE WITH THEE; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee” [Isaiah 43:2] God’s Promise stands and His STRENGTH is yours in coming days, if you will accept Him as your Lord and Saviour; when you pass through raging waters and roaring fires, He will be your STRENGTH.

3. The days ahead will test and shake the STRENGTH of all religions and religious rituals, “But they that WAIT UPON THE LORD shall RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; they shall MOUNT UP WITH WINGS as eagles; they shall RUN, and not be weary; and they shall WALK, and not faint” [Isaiah 40:31] WAITING upon the Lord is best illustrated with a STEWARD and his MASTER at dinner; there may be many Stewards ”WAITING” on their Masters in the house but the MASTER knows His own, “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The LORD KNOWETH THEM THAT ARE HIS. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY” [2 Timothy 2:19] The Steward derives STRENGTH from his Master, if his Master is Evil, his STRENGTH is corruption; if he knows and serves the ALMIGHTY, his STRENGTH is limitless. Beloved, STRENGTH FOR THE DAYS AHEAD is in knowing and WAITNG on God ALMIGHTY, no Steward may attend or please two Masters, “… the PEOPLE THAT DO KNOW THEIR GOD SHALL BE STRONG, and do exploits” [Daniel 11:32] The coming days will try every shade of FAITH and religious affiliation, sacrifices of Prayer and Fasting alone will not yield STRENGTH outside of OBEDIENCE, as it is written; “… Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in OBEYING the voice of the LORD? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and to hearken than the fat of rams” [1 Samuel 15:22] Seed of STRENGTH in the days ahead is OBEDIENCE to revealed TRUTH.

4. Days ahead are Prophecy in motion; every WORD spoken concerning this generation shall be fulfilled to the letter, “For NATION SHALL RISE AGAINST NATION, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be FAMINES, and PESTILENCES, and EARTHQUAKES, in divers places. All these are the BEGINNING OF SORROWS” [Matthew 24:7-8] As the world slides into BEGINNING OF SORROWS, grief shall turn the hearts of men from PROPHECTIC TRUTH to believe and derive pleasure in LIES,, “And for this cause God shall send them STRONG DELUSION, that they should BELIEVE A LIE:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” [2 Thessalonians 2:11-12] Friend, you must not lose your mind to LIES, WORRY or DESPONDENCY as the days go by but daily grow your STRENGTH in God through CONFIDENCE in His WORD, “When MEN ARE CAST DOWN, then thou shalt say, THERE IS LIFTING UP; and he shall SAVE THE HUMBLE person. He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands” [Job 22:29-30] As things go from bad to worse hold tight to your CONFIEDENCE in Christ’s imminent appearance, separating yourself from the maddening crowd in sure UNDERSTANDING of trajectory of DIVINE AGENDA, “And when these things begin to come to pass, then LOOK UP, and lift up your heads; for your REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH” [Luke 21:28]
