1. There is something about FIRE that resonates with the LIKENESS of God, “For OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE” [Hebrews 12:29] The Church, the EMBASSY of God on earth, was BORN in blazing FIRE in the WILDERNESS, “And mount SINAI was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD DESCENDED UPON IT IN FIRE: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly” [Exodus 19:18] The people saw the mountain quake and melt with FIRE, and were overcome with FEAR, “… they removed, and STOOD AFAR OFF. And they said unto Moses, SPEAK THOU WITH US, and we will hear: but LET NOT GOD SPEAK WITH US, lest we die” [Exodus 20:18-19] As long as they were “AFAR OFF”, the PURPOSE of God to make man in His own LIKENESS was in abeyance. In due season, God revealed Himself in Jesus Christ, that He might raise for Himself a Church midwifed by FIRE, “And there appeared unto them CLOVEN TONGUES LIKE AS OF FIRE, and it SAT UPON EACH OF THEM. And they were ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST, …” [Acts 2:3-4] FIRE is the agency of the standard of PURITY required of the BRIDE of Christ, “That he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT OR WRINKLE, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH” [Ephesians 5:27]

2. The FIRE shall FALL one more time, to PROVE the Church, “EVERY MAN’S WORK SHALL BE MADE MANIFEST: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be REVEALED BY FIRE; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is” [1 Corinthians 3:13] Listen closely, something happened at Pentecost before the FIRE FELL,  a “RUSHING MIGHTY WIND” filled the house “And suddenly there came a SOUND FROM HEAVEN as of a RUSHING MIGHTY WIND, and it filled all the house where they were sitting” [Acts 2:2] A “SOUND FROM HEAVEN” and a “MIGHTY RUSHING WIND” paint vivid pictures of what lies ahead before the FIRE FALLS for the last time and the BRIDE is CAUGHT UP in the manner of Elijah, as it is written: “… there appeared a CHARIOT OF FIRE, and HORSES OF FIRE, and parted them both asunder; and ELIJAH WENT UP BY A WHIRLWIND INTO HEAVEN” [2 Kings 2:11] The “SOUND” from heaven depict the ministry of PROPHETS; specially chosen men, who shall HEAR, DECIPHER and SPEAK the MIND of God to REVIVE, REFORM and RESTORE the Church. The “SOUND” from heaven is the message of the 7th Church age; the message of REPENTANCE and of the COMING of the Lord, saying to the Church:  “As many as I love, I REBUKE and CHASTEN: be zealous therefore, and REPENT”. 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 3:19-20] 

3. The “SOUND” from heaven is the TRUMPET of REVIVAL from the Lord, the “RUSHING MIGHTY WIND” are His angel at work to SEPARATE and GATHER His ELECT, as it is written; “And he shall send HIS ANGELS with a great SOUND of a trumpet, and they shall GATHER the ELECT from the FOUR WINDS, from one end of heaven to the other” [Matthew 24:31] The “WIND” follows the “SOUND”; everywhere the message of REPENTANCE and of His COMING is preached, the “MIGHTY WINDS” blow to unmask the HYPOCRISY of CHAFF and to GATHER the WHEAT, “… he will throughly PURGE HIS FLOOR, and will GATHER THE WHEAT into his garner; but the CHAFF HE WILL BURN with fire unquenchable” [Luke 3:17] His FLOOR is the Church and not only shall we be REVIVED, we must also be REFORMED by JUDGMENT, “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] The JUDGMENT shall “BEGIN AT US”, Preachers and Pastors; the Lord shall expose every underbelly of DECEPTION and all “TREES” tried with the axe of TRUTH  “And now also the AXE IS LAID UNTO THE ROOT OF THE TREES: every tree therefore WHICH BRINGETH NOT FORTH GOOD FRUIT is hewn down, and CAST INTO THE FIRE” [Luke 3:9] The “RUSHING MIGHTY WIND” is here and shall demystify all PRETENDERS in the Church, REFORM the priesthood and make ready the “LITTLE FLOCK” for BAPTISM of FIRE, therefore, “FEAR NOT, LITTLE FLOCK; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom” [Luke 12:32] 

4. The “MIGHTY RUSHING WIND” rages in the Church, without, the tempest of APOCALYPSE without and “MEN 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] In the midst of unprecedented global disequilibrium, the message of His COMING brings refreshing REVIVAL to those whose TRUST is in the Lord. We are REFORMED by the "RUSHING MIGHTY WIND " of His angels. We cry to Him day and night to be delivered from this BODY, asking as did Elijah;, O Lord, LET THE FIRE FALL, “Then THE FIRE OF THE LORD FELL, and CONSUMED THE BURNT SACRIFICE, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench” [1 Kings 18:38] We are the SACRIFICE, that shall be PURIFIED with FIRE, purged of all FEARS and WASHED in readiness for that glorious DAY, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT YOUR BODIES A LIVING SACRIFICE, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service" (Romans 12:1) Listen closely, we are not GOING UP in this BODY, when the FIRE FALLS we shall be thoroughly PURGED, set AFLAME with uncommon FAITH and ascend beyond the clouds, “For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the ANGEL OF THE LORD ASCENDED IN THE FLAME of the altar” [Judges 13:20] O LORD, LET THE FIRE FALL
 
 
 

PARABLE OF CHURCH IN SODOM is the tragedy of the Church whose cup is filled with INIQUITY and PRIDE her undoing, but she would not relent, ...

WOMAN is God’s SECRET WEAPON, hid from hosts of heaven; there is no representation of WOMANKIND in heaven, “For when they shall rise from the dead, they NEITHER MARRY, NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE; but are as the ANGELS which are in heaven” [Mark 12:25]

God has no grievance against RICHES but frowns at those who compromise SOUL BALANCE to enrich BANK BALANCE; "For WHAT IS A MAN PROFITED, IF HE SHALL GAIN the WHOLE WORLD, and LOSE HIS OWN SOUL? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:26)

1. Jonathan was one of the finest in Israel, an instrument of God’s SALVATION and much beloved of Israel, “And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, WHO HATH WROUGHT THIS GREAT SALVATION IN ISRAEL? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for HE HATH WROUGHT WITH GOD this day ...” [1 Samuel 14:45] Jonathan was enlightened and testified of PRESENT TRUTH, saying to David “… Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and THOU SHALT BE KING over Israel, and I SHALL BE NEXT unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth” [1 Samuel 23:17] In the end, Jonathan’s TESTIMONY did not match his PURPOSE, not for IGNORANCE but UNBELIEF induced by FEAR and perished fighting on the wrong side, “How are the MIGHTY FALLEN IN THE MIDST OF BATTLE! O JONATHAN, thou wast slain in thine high places” [2 Samuel 1:25] PARABLE OF JONATHAN is the crushing calamity of men who were once ENLIGHTENED, TASTED of the HEAVENLY GIFT and "FELL AWAY", “For it is MPOSSIBLE for those who were ONCE ENLIGHTENED, and have TASTED OF THE HEAVENLY GIFT, and were made PARTAKERS OF THE HOLY GHOST, And have TASTED OF THE GOOD WORD OF GOD, and the POWERS OF THE WORLD TO COME, IF THEY SHALL FALL AWAY, TO RENEW THEM ...  ” [Hebrews 6:4-6]

2. Jonathan, no doubt, LOVED David but it was the "LUKEWARM" stuff; he hedged his bets and won't follow him into the WILDERNESS. True LOVE has no limits, as Ruth professed, "...  Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from FOLLOWING AFTER THEE: for WHITHER THOU GOEST, I WILL GO; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God" (Ruth 1:16) The ANCHOR of our FAITH is LOVE, FEAR is the adversary; Jonathan denied his own TESTIMONY, because he was AFRAID to DIE, saying:, “And thou shalt not only while yet I live SHEW ME THE KINDNESS of the LORD, that I DIE NOT: But also THOU SHALT NOT CUT OF THY KINDNESS FROM MY HOUSE for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the ENEMIES OF DAVID every one from the face of the earth” [1 Samuel 20:14-15) Are we not as Jonathan, paralysed by FEAR to bend the TRUTH in the face of  pestilence, political tyranny, terror, economic downturn among others? Present afflictions which provoke so much FEAR need not frighten us, if we see them as indicators of how close we are to our REDEMPTION, as foretold "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) However, our REDEMPTION shall not come until God is done PROVING this GENERATION at STONE EZEL, as He did David and Jonathan; not a few shall "FALL AWAY", as foretold: “LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU by any means: for THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition” [2 Thessalonians 2:3]

3. There were two VOICES at STONE EZEL; one told Jonathan to follow David, the other cried in his ears, saying: "For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, THOU SHALT NOT  BE ESTABLISHEd, nor THY KINGDOM. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die" (1 Samuel 20:31) Read carefully the TESTIMONY of Jonathan in 1 Samuel 23:17, there was no question of his being king, but of being ESTABLISHED in OBEDIENCE, as it is written: "... BELIEVE IN THE LORD YOUR GOD, so shall ye be ESTABLISHED; BELIEVE HIS PROPHETS, so shall ye PROSPER" (2 Chronicles 20:20) Jonathan was SEDUCED with vain PROMISES aimed at his worst FEARS and succumbed to SORCERY. In heeding the VOICE of his FATHER, Jonathan became as many today, a PUPPET in the hands of Saul. There are many FATHERS out there worse than Saul and Simon put together, who "... USED SORCERY, and BEWITCHED the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: TO WHOM THEY ALL GAVE HEED, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God" (Acts 8:9-10) Beloved, let no man DECEIVE you with PROMISES outside the TESTIMONY we received when we first gave our lives to Jesus Christ, "LET THAT THEREFORE ABIDE IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And THIS IS THE PROMISE THAT HE HATH PROMISED US, EVEN ETERNAL LIFE" (1 John 2:24-25)

4. PARABLE OF JONATHAN is the TRAGEDY of a generation TURNED AWAY from sure PROMISE of Christ to embrace PROSPERITY OF FOOLS, "For the TURNING AWAY of the simple shall SLAY THEM, and the PROSPERITY OF FOOLS SHALL DESTROY THEM" (Proverbs 1:32) Are we not as Jonathan, a DELUDED GENERATION, FIGHTING to possess kingdoms of this world, when Jesus expressly said: "... 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) How do we explain Jonathan following Saul, who just came back from consultations with the WITCH OF ENDOR, to war? The answer is STRONG DELUSION. My heart bleeds to see DELUDED MULTITUDES marching behind SORCERERS in cassocks to their destruction "And for this cause GOD SHALL SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, that THEY SHOULD BELIEVE A LIE: That they all might be DAMNED WHO BELIEVED NOT THE TRUTH, but had pleasure in unrighteousness" (2Thessalonians 2:11-12) I assure you, the appearance of the Lord is at hand, when we shall TRANSLATED to GLORY, "EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH; PROVE YOUR OWN SELVES. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" (2 Corinthians 13:5)

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour amen 
 

It is not a SIN to be POOR; it is unpardonable SIN to allow your material STATUS  determine your ETERNAL RELEVANCE, remember "... WE BROUGHT NOTHING INTO THIS WORLD, and it is certain WE CAN CARRY NOTHING OUT" (1 Timothy 6:7)

Those who LABOUR in the Church must be COMPENSATED, ENCOURAGED and STRENGTHENED that Satan take no advantage of them, "... For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The LABOURER IS WORTHY OF HIS REWARD" (1 Timothy 5:17-18)

1. John, the Baptist’s birth was foretold by an ANGEL, saying:  “And he shall GO BEFORE HIM in the SPIRIT and POWER of ELIAS, to turn the HEARTS of the FATHERS to the CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to MAKE READY A PEOPLE FOR THE LORD” [Luke 1:17] The “HIM” is Jesus Christ and John, the CAPSTONE PROPHET, to who it was given to reveal the MYSTERY of all ages to Israel; how God should be manifest in FLESH, “And without controversy great is the MYSTERY OF GODLINESS: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” [1Timothy 3:16] All the Prophets before John, from Adam down through the ages had glimpses of the REVELATION of Jesus Christ through the VEIL, John had unfettered REVELATION and made Him known, as it is written: “The next day JOHN SEETH JESUS coming unto him, and saith, BEHOLD, the LAMB OF GOD, which TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD” [John 1:29] Listen closely,  the same John when the REALITIES of his day conflicted with REVELATION relapsed into CONFUSION, “And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, ART THOU HE THAT SHOULD COME? or LOOK WE FOR ANOTHER?” [Luke 7:19]

2. REVELATION of Jesus Christ is the LIGHT of TRUTH in a world engulfed in REALITIES of DARKNESS [John 1:5] The REALITIES of the DARKNESS of this world are the consequences of satanic dominion, occasioned by SIN; unfulfilled wants, sickness, wars, famine, terror and diverse instabilities. We are not exempt, “… OURSELVES ALSO, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves GROAN WITHIN OURSELVES, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the REDEMPTION of our body” [Romans 8:22-23] Afflictions encountered in this BODY shift our focus from REVELATION of excellency of Christ in us to painful REALITIES of the age, but we resist by FAITH, “For which cause WE FAINT NOT; but though our OUTWARD MAN perish, yet the INWARD MAN IS RENEWED day by day. For our light AFFLICTION, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and ETERNAL WEIGHT OF GLORY” [2 Corinthians 4:16-17] If we must neither FAINT nor FAIL, let us avoid needless CONTROVERSIES incited by REALITIES of the day. We have a lot to learn from John; he spent all his life separated from the LAW to announce REVELATION of SALVATION through GRACE to Israel but finished the race embroiled in social commentary and wrangling of the LAW, for which Jesus chided him, “… tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. And BLESSED IS HE, WHOSOEVER SHALL NOT BE OFFENDED IN ME” [Luke 7:22-23]

3. Brethren are we not as John, inflamed by REALITIES of the day to swerve from REVELATION and entangled in the “AFFAIRS of this LIFE? [2 Timothy 2:4] It is true we are pressed beyond measure by unprecedented DISTRESS; global instability, pestilence, incessant wars, economic downturn, social dislocations and climatic upheavals, among others, so were the Apostles “For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our TROUBLE which came to us in Asia, that we were PRESSED OUT OF MEASURE, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that WE SHOULD NOT TRUST IN OURSELVES, BUT IN GOD which raiseth the dead” [2 Corinthians 1:8-9] Every time we take our eyes away from the excellency of Christ’s POWER in us, we relapse into REALITIES of FEAR and HELPLESSNESS, as foretold: “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] If we know the PROPHECIES pertaining the LAST DAYS and we do, why do we loathe to see them fulfilled? We STRIFE and CONTEND to change a world which God has weighed in the balance and condemned to destruction. In CONFUSION, we find adversaries where there are none and are as men chasing shadows. Listen closely, there is nothing worth a FIGHT in this world, “Jesus answered, 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 18:26]

4. Brethren, we have in us the TREASURE of ETERNAL LIFE, the “EARNEST” of our inheritance in a world overtaken by REALITIES of DARKNESS, “For God, who commanded the LIGHT to SHINE out of DARKNESS, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to give the LIGHT OF THE GLORY OF GOD in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, that the excellency of the POWER may be of God, and not of us” [2 Corinthians 4:6-7] The choice is yours and mine to keep our EARTHEN VESSELS undefiled by REALITIES of DARKNESS until the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ, “Looking diligently lest any man FAIL OF THE GRACE OF GOD; lest any ROOT OF BITTERNESS springing up trouble you, and thereby MANY BE DEFILED” [Hebrews 12:15] As we look forward to that glorious DAY, let us be careful not to be DISTRACTED by false reports, partisan politics, greed, sexual sin and sundry fleshly passions, that engender BITTERNESS, “For yourselves know perfectly that the DAY OF THE LORD COMETH AS A THIEF IN THE NIGHT” [1 Thessalonians 5:2] The “NIGHT” is here and the DAY is so close. Fully assured everything God said concerning this age must surely come to pass, let us TRUST Him to the end and we shall have His PEACE, “Thou wilt KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON THEE: because he TRUSTETH IN THEE” [Isaiah 26:3] 

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen 

God wants you to be SAVED more than He wants you to be RICH, “For what is a man profited, if he shall GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, and LOSE HIS SOUL? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” [Matthew 16:26]

Investing God's MONEY outside the Church benefits UNBELIEVERS more than SAINTS; it is DEMONIC LOGIC arising from "Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself" (1 Timothy 6:5)

BURDEN OF PROPHETS
1. It is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to FORETELL the “SECRETS” of God, “Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he REVEALETH HIS SECRET unto his servants the PROPHETS” [Amos 3:7] The “SECRET” of God is the MYSTERY of God’s PLAN to RECONCILE man to Himself through 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] It was the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to PROPHESY the BIRTH of Christ in Old Testament time; they were laughed to scorn, but refused to be deterred, as it is written: “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But HIS WORD was in mine heart AS A BURNING FIRE shut up IN MY BONES, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay” [Jeremiah 20:9] They were mocked and died unsung, TESTIFYING of Him; afterwards they were vindicated when He was BORN in Bethlehem. Today, it is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to declare Christ’s imminent appearance to this evil and distressed generation. Listen closely, a SEER is not a PROPHET, though a PROPHET may operate as a SEER; one is a GIFT, the other is a CALLING to TESTIFY of Christ, “… for the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” [Revelation 19:10] 

2. It is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to suffer rejection, as it is written: “WHO HATH BELIEVED OUR REPORT? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?” [Isaiah 53:1] When God CALLED Moses to TESTIFY of His SALVATION in Egypt, some Jews opposed him, saying: “… The LORD look upon you, and judge; because YE HAVE MADE OUR SAVOUR to be ABHORRED in the EYES of PHARAOH, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us” [Exodus 5:21] In like manner, PROPHETS calling this generation to prepare for EXODUS BY AIR presently suffer persecution, but shall be blameless when the Lord shall appear to receive His BRIDE, for, “… BY A PROPHET the LORD BROUGHT ISRAEL OUT OF EGYPT, and by a prophet was he preserved” [Hosea 12:13] Do I hear someone say WHERE ARE THE PROPHETS? They are here, rising early to WARN of Christ’s imminent appearance and of looming destruction, but the people are dull of hearing “… whereunto shall I liken THIS GENERATION? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented” [Matthew 11:16-17] As in Egypt, an adulterous generation intoxicated with GREED is ensnared in cruel bondage to MERCHANTS OF FAITH, as foretold: “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. It is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to be acquainted with RESISTANCE, “… as Jannes and Jambres WITHSTOOD MOSES, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: men of CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBTE concerning the FAITH” [2Timothy 3:8] JANNES and JAMBRES were REPROBATE Jews and SORCERERS in Pharaoh’s court, as Elymas in the palace of Sergius Paulus, “… a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and DESIRED to HEAR the WORD of God. But ELYMAS THE SORCERER (for so is his name by interpretation) WITHSTOOD THEM, seeking to TURN AWAY the DEPUTY from the FAITH” [Acts 13:7-8] This generation is led astray and deluded by FALSE PROPHETS and FALSE CHRISTS, perched at the highest echelons of the Church and as SOOTHSAYERS in corridors of POWER, “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] The ELECT will not be DECEIVED because they listen and take heed to PROPHETS. Over the years, the VOICE of PROPHECY suffered long in gilded Cathedrals and now found refuge in the WILDERNESS, as foretold, “… Go out into the HIGHWAYS and HEDGES, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled” [Luke 14:23] The VOICE of PROPHECY shall be vindicated on the HIGHWAYS and in the HEDGES of this age, in those who HEAR and HEED, “The VOICE of one crying in the WILDERNESS, PREPARE ye the WAY of the LORD, make his paths straight” [Mark 1:3]

4. It is the BURDEN OF PROPHETS to “SEE” and PROPHESY to a people who my choose not to “SEE”, “That seeing they may SEE, AND NOT PERCEIVE; and hearing they may HEAR, AND NOT UNDERSTAND; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them” [Mark 4:12] This generation has a rich store of knowledge, always learning, but never coming to terms with the SEASON of her VISITATION, “And saying, Where is the PROMISE of HIS COMING? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” 2 Peter 3:3-4] Brethren, the PROMISE is due and His Coming is certain; His appearance is imminent, God shall take away the BURDEN OF PROPHETS, as it is written: “… thou shouldest give REWARD UNTO THY SERVANTS the PROPHETS, and to the SAINTS, and them that FEAR THY NAME, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth” [Revelation 11:18] It is so close and very soon there should be TIME NO MORE; His PROPHETS will not be silent, till “… the MYSTERY OF GOD should be FINISHED, as he hath declared to his servants the PROPHETS” [Revelation 10:7] Friend, the VOICE of PROPHETS is calling you to REPENTANCE; prepare to meet the Lord, “… BELIEVE in the LORD your God, so shall ye be ESTABLISHED; BELIEVE HIS PROPHETS, so shall ye PROSPER” [2 Chronicles 20:20]

Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour amen 

In Genesis 1:26, God said: "... Let us make man in our image, after our likeness .." God, indeed, created us in His IMAGE but not in His LIKENESS, as it is written: "So God CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, in the IMAGE OF GOD CREATED HE Him; male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:27) For emphasis, IMAGE appeared twice in the verse; it is a MYSTERY

Every PERVERSION of the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ amount to DOCTRINE OF DEVILS,  "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)

1. Jesus Chrit is the LAMB of God, FOREORDAINED before the FOUNDATION of the WORLD, to RECONCILE us to God, “… 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 1:19-20] He is our PEACE OFFERING, without BLEMISH or SPOT, to atone for SIN, “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] By reason of original SIN, in Eden, all men are born incompatible to God; as NATURL MAN, “But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are FOOLISHNESS UNTO HIM: neither can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED” [1 Corinthians 2:14] While we were HELPLESS and without HOPE, God paved the WAY of PEACE for us through the BLOOD of Jesus Christ, “And, having made PEACE through the BLOOD of his cross, BY HIM to RECONCILE ALL THINGS to HIMSELF BY HIM, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven” [Colossians 1:20] This is the GOSPEL OF PEACE preached in the name of Jesus Christ, “And how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that PREACH the GOSPEL OF PEACE, and bring GLAD TIDINGS of good things” [Romans 10:15]

2.GOSPEL OF PEACE is the MYSTERY of how God revealed Himself 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] GOSPEL of Jesus Christ is the simplicity of God’s WISDOM, which to those who deny the TRUTH is FOOLISHNESS, “For after that in the WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the FOOLISHNESS of PREACHING to SAVE them that BELIEVE” [1 Corinthians 1:21] Though there be many voices in the world touting access to God, the ONLY WAY is the OFFER of PEACE through FAITH in the manifestation of God in Jesus Christ, “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 28-9] Friend, God’s OFFER of PEACE with God is on your table. If you are SINCERE and WILLING to receive the TRUTH, the SEED of FAITH shall be quickened in your HEART, as it is written: “So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and hearing by the WORD OF GOD” [Romans 10:17] I encourage you to pour out your SINS to the Lord for FORGIVENESS, BELIEVE He DIED on the Cross and ROSE the third day. CONFESS Him as your LORD and SAVIOUR, “For with the heart man BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION” [Romans 10:10]

3. Making PEACE with God enables His SPIRIT, in us, to settle our MINDS on His PEACE, as it is written: “Thou wilt KEEP HIM IN PERFECT PEACE, whose MIND IS STAYED ON THEE: because he TRUSTETH IN THEE” [Isaiah 26:3] When we received Jesus Christ as LORD and SAVIOUR, we turned over our lives to Him; lock, stock and barrel. He has our back, in a world ravaged by wickedness, “Peace I leave with you”, said the Lord, “MY PEACE I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, neither let it be AFRAID” [John 14:27] His PEACE is not absence of the vicissitudes of living in this dying world but of firm assurance we are in safe hands, whose hearts “STAYED” on God, “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] Though pressed on every side by much DISTRESS and sundry INSTABILITIES, our MINDS are FOCUSED on Him and “STILLED” by Him who is able to do “… exceeding abundantly above all that we ASK or THINK, according to the POWER that WORKETH IN US” [Ephesians 3:20] Listen carefully, the “POWER THAT WORKETH IN US” is the SOVEREIGNTY of God to do  His WIL, and we have His PEACE if we abide in His PURPOSE. When we suffer FRUSTRATIONS and wallow in SORROWS, it is because our MINDS are not in tune with His PURPOSE, “For it is God which WORKETH IN YOU both to WILL and to DO of his good pleasure” [Philippians 2:13]

Being JUSTIFIED by FAITH through our Lord Jesus Christ, we have PEACE with God and His PEACE dwells in us; we are beacons of PEACE in a world subsumed in gross darkness [Romans 5:1] We have PEACE in the world, not with the world, that we should not be stained by corruption, therefore, “Follow PEACE WITH ALL MEN, and HOLINESS, without which no man shall see the Lord” [Hebrews 12:14] Brethren, we are not SAVED to carry arms to FIGHT for God or give in to inordinate desire for earthly goods, “For the kingdom of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost” [Romans 14:17] Let us by all means keep BITTERNESS at bay, fully assured we have a short time in this BODY and the appearance of the Lord is at hand, when we shall be crowned with glory, “Looking diligently lest any man FALL OF THE GRACE OF GOD; lest any root of BITTERNESS springing up TROUBLE YOU, and thereby many be DEFILED” [Hebrews 12:15] Beloved, I charge you to be faithful to the GOSPEL OF PEACE and refuse to be TROUBLED, that you be not DEFILED and “As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received,LET HIM BE ACCURSED” [Galatians 1:9]

BISHOP is an OFFICE, not a CALLING; an AUXILIARY commission to the 5-FOLD MINISTRY, "This is a true saying, If a man desire the OFFICE OF A BISHOP, he desireth a good work"
1 Timothy 3:1

1. How do you label the GENERATION that crossed the Red Sea to possess the PROMISED LAND and of who it is written: “But as for you, your carcases, they shall FALL in this wilderness. And your children shall WANDER in the wilderness FORTY YEARS, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be WASTED in the wilderness” [Numbers 14: 32-33] The ANGEL of the LORD was their GUIDE, yet they were WASTED 40 years in the wilderness, “And the LORD went before them by day in a PILLAR OF A CLOUD, to lead them the way; and by night in a PILLAR OF FIRE, to give them light; to go by day and night” [Exodus 13:21] For 40 years they woke up to see the PILLAR OF CLOUD and went to bed under the PIILAR OF FIRE, “And did all drink the same SPIRITUAL DRINK: for they drank of that SPIRITUAL ROCK that followed them: and that ROCK WAS CHRIST” [1 Corinthians 10:4] The Lord fed them with, “But with many of them GOD WAS NOT WELL PLEASED: for they were OVERTHROWN in the wilderness” [1 Corinthians 10:5] Is God PLEASED with this GENERATION? Are we nearer the PROMISED LAND or WANDERING and “WASTING”? “Now all these things happened unto them for ENSAMPLES: and they are WRITTEN FOR OUR ADMONITION, upon whom the ENDS OF THE WORLD are come” [1 Corinthians 10: 11]

2. Some 40 odd years ago, marching cry of the Church was the VISION of GLORY, “The GLORY of this LATTER HOUSE shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give PEACE, saith the LORD of hosts” [Haggai 2:9] As we pressed into the 90s, VISION of the LATTER HOUSE was distorted by FALSE TEACHERS, as in the wilderness, “But there were FALSE PROPHETS also among the people, even as there shall be FALSE TEACHERS among you, who privily shall bring in damnable HERESIES, … ” [2 Peter 2:1] So soon after the great REVIVALS of the 60s and 70s, the hardy CATECHISMS of SELF DENIAL, FELLOWSHIP of Christ’s SUFFERING, sturdy FAITH, HOPE and CHARITY were violated with “Perverse disputings of men of CORRUPT MINDS, and destitute of the TRUTH, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself” [1 Timothy 6:5] By the turn of the 2nd millennia, the order of priesthood was usurped by greedy men in cassocks, whose sole motivation was COVETOUSNESS and as foretold: : “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] Now, we have a new order of priests whose trade is to infame their flocks with “FEIGNED WORDS” to LUST after filthy lucre to feed their own GREED, “Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should NOT LUST AFTER EVIL THINGS, as they also lusted” [1 Corinthians 10:6] 

3. Looking through the mirror of TRUTH,Jesus said:“But whereunto shall I liken this GENERATION? It is like unto CHILDREN sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,  And saying, We have PIPED UNTO YOU, and YE HAVE NOT DANCED; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented” [Matthew 11:16-17] The GENERATION that SAW Jesus walk the streets of Chorazin and HEARD Him TEACH in Bethsaida, denied the TRUTH, “WOE unto thee, CHORAZIN! woe unto thee, BETHSAIDA! for if the MIGHTY WORKS, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have REPENTED long ago in sackcloth and ashes” [Matthew 11:21] Our churches are bursting at the seams with unrepentant SOULS lulled to sleep in gilded Cathedrals by lullabies of latter-day SCRIBES and PHARISEES, of who it is written: “Woe unto you, SCRIBES and PHARISEES, 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] Why are we always so quick to JUSTIFY ourselves? Are we not chasing shadows, if we think to please God with a form of godliness approved by men but contrary to TRUTH?, “… Ye are they which JUSTIFY YOURSELVES BEFORE MEN; but GOD KNOWETH YOUR HEARTS: for that which is highly ESTEEMED AMONG MEN is ABOMINATION in the sight of God” [Luke 16:15] Are we BEWITCHED or simply FOOLISH, as the Church in Galatia? “O FOOLISH Galatians, who hath BEWITCHED you, that ye should not OBEY THE TRUTH, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, CRUCIFIED among you?” [Galatians 3:3]

4. What shall we say of the Church of the Laodiceans, that does not apply to this GENERATION,  “… 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] Laodicea is the 7th Church Age, a WASTED GENERATION, saddled with onerous fate of ushering Christ’s appearance, as it is written: “Behold, I STAND AT THE DOOR, and KNOCK”, says the Lord, “… 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] Friend, Jesus is at the door CALLING His own SHEEP out of this WASTED GENERATION, “… 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] He is CALLING those who are DEAD in SIN, from the HEDGES and GUTTERS of this world; His VOICE is the WATER of LIFE, “Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the STOCK THEREOF DIE IN THE GROUND;  Yet through the SCENT OF WATER it will BUD, and BRING FORTH boughs like a plant” [Job 18:8-9] Are you BORN AGAIN? Search the scriptures, SALVATION is not a CORPORATE VENTURE, “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR and TREMBLING” [Philippians 2:12]

5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen

 

The FIRST EVE spoke when she was required to be silent, the SECOND EVE is required to be SILENT in SUBMISSION  to TRUTH, as it is written: "Let the WOMAN LEARN IN SILENCE with all SUBJECTION. But I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN but to be in silence" 1 Timothy 2:9-15

PRAYER is the SPIRIT of God, in us, communicating with God to establish His PURPOSE; first in our lives and then in the world. "For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the THINGS OF GOD KNOWETH NO MAN, but the SPIRIT OF GOD" (1 Corinthians 2:11)

Esau, was the first born and by law entitled to the BLESSING [Genesis 25:25] He NEARLY got it but when it mattered most, he slipped at the altar of LUST, as it is written: “Lest there be any FORNICATOR, or PROFANE person, as Esau, ...” [Hebrews 12:16-17]
