I walked home, alone, and had to pass through a dark lonely stretch of road. I was not halfway through, when I heard running footsteps and voices of a mob chasing a burglar.. A PERSONAL WITNESS OF SALVATION

DON’T LOOK BACK
1. Though the SIN of Sodom and Gomorrah stank to the heavens, God brought Lot, his wife and two daughters out, “And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes CONDEMNED THEM WITH AN OVERTHROW, making them AN EXAMPLE UNTO THOSE THAT AFTER SHOULD LIVE UNGODLY” [2 Peter 2:6] This generation surpass the ABOMINATIONS of Sodom, adding TRANSGENDERS, TRANSVESTITES and NO GENDERS to SODOMY. Even so, God has made provision for you and I, to be SAVED, “The LIKE FIGURE WHEREUNTO EVEN BAPTISM DOTH ALSO NOW SAVE US (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) BY THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST” [1 Peter 3:21] Alas, having escaped the FILTH of Sodom, Lot’s wife LOOKED BACK, “… from BEHIND HIM, and SHE BECAME A PILLAR OF SALT” [Genesis 19:26] Beloved, let us HOLD TIGHT to our SALVATION not LOOKING BACK, “… NO MAN, having put his hand to the plough, and LOOKING BACK, IS FIT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD” [Luke 9:62]
2. The angels gave clear instructions to Lot and his family, “… ESCAPE FOR THY LIFE, LOOK NOT BEHIND thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; ESCAPE to the mountain…” [Genesis 19:17] The same apply to us, if so be we are BORN AGAIN; “… having ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION THAT IS IN THE WORLD through lust” [2 Peter 1:4] They took nothing out of Sodom, even as it is certain we shall take nothing out of this world. Let us therefore RUN, not as Lot’s wife LAGGED BEHIND, overwhelmed with THOUGHTS of her LOSSES and expired EXPECTATIONS. Every recurring THOUGHT of LOSS incurred for coming to Jesus Christ is an unwanted BURDEN, “… LET US LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT, and the SIN which doth so easily beset us, and let us RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE that is set before us” [Hebrews 12:1] Likewise, whatever we were or HOPED to be in times past were buried with Jesus Christ, and “… if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW” [2 Corinthians 5:17] Whenever we are overcome with THOUGHTS of “OLD THINGS”, it is a sign we are “DRAWING “BACK”, “But we are not of them WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE TO THE SAVING OF THE SOUL” [Hebrews 10:39] Now, more than ever before, let us keep the FIRE of FAITH burning “LOOKING DILIGENTLY lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any ROOT OF BITTERNESS SPRING UP TROUBLE YOU, and thereby many be defiled” [Hebrews 12:15]
3. Somewhere on the plains of Jordan is a PILLAR OF SALT; a tragic memorial to the DISOBEDIENCE of Lot’s wife. DISOBEDIENCE is the root NATURE of SINFUL MAN, but in Christ, “… our OLD MAN IS CRUCIFIED WITH HIM, that the BODY OF SIN MIGHT BE DESTROYED, that henceforth WE SHOULD NOT SERVE SIN” [Romans 6:6] When we come to Christ in genuine REPENTANCE, DISOBEDIENCE is CRUCIFIED, but we are not ALIVE in OBEDIENCE until we are CONVERTED to NEWNESS OF LIFE, even “… as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so WE ALSO SHOULD WALK IN NEWNESS OF LIFE” [Romans 6:4] We are CONVERTED to OBEDIENCE through BAPTISM of the Holy Ghost, “Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, THROUGH SANCTIFICATION OF THE SPIRIT, UNTO OBEDIENCE … ” [2 Peter 1:2] DISOBEDIENCE may be pleasing to the FLESH, it is a signal we are TURNING BACK. Needless to say, OBEDIENCE is a magnet for “SUFFERING”, and Christ “Though he were a Son, yet LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE BY THE THINGS WHICH HE SUFFERED” [Hebrews 5:8] Let us walk in OBEDIENCE to PRESENT TRUTH, not as Lot’s wife who counted her LOSSES far above the glory of SALVATION, “Yea, and all that will LIVE GODLY IN CHRIST SHALL SUFFER PERSECUTION” [2 Timothy 3:12] Beloved, our SUFFERING is for a while, and “IF WE SUFFER, WE SHALL ALSO REIGN WITH HIM: if we deny him, he also will deny us” [2 Timothy 2:12]
4. LOOKING BACK begins with a reckless THOUGHT of LOSS incurred for the sake of Christ or an ambition dashed for standing in FAITH. If it is left unchecked, it grows into a tsunami, overwhelms the mind and turns OBEDIENCE into REBELLION. If any man TURNS BACK from OBEDIENCE to Christ to DISOBEDIENCE, there is no HOPE of redemption, “For IF WE SIN WILFULLY after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, THERE REMAINETH NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SINS, But a certain fearful looking for of JUDGMENT and FIERY INDIGNATION, which shall devour the adversaries” [Hebrews 10:26-27] I plead with you to put away every THOUGHT that DISTRACTS you, and walk in OBEDIENCE to PRESENT TRUTH, “… knowing the time, that now it is high time to AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP: for NOW IS OUR SALVATION NEARER THAN WHEN WE BELIEVED” [Romans 13:11] We have in our favour SURE PROMISES of BETTER THINGS than we can every pray for or imagine at the appearance of Jesus Christ, as it is written: “… I WILL COME AGAIN, and receive you unto myself; that WHERE I AM, THERE YE MAY BE ALSO” [John 14:3] Having such a PROMISE, let us PRESS FORWARD to the mark of His CALLING, not LOOKING BACK, but “… FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND, and REACHING FORTH UNTO THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEFORE” [Philippians 3:13]
5. If you have not known Him, accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Saviour, amen

WATCH AND PRAY
1. The very air we breathe is choked with FEAR and ANXIETY mixed with EXPECTATIONS, “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] A pervading DREAD of what lies ahead fuels a deluge of infantile PREDICTIONS and CONSPIRACY THEORIES, but God has the final say, “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] Present DISTRESS in all nations foreshadows the predetermined END of the present world, when “… the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the EARTH ALSO AND THE WORKS THAT ARE THEREIN SHALL BE BURNED” [2 Peter 3:10] We shall not all be roasted; in the midst of present pains and confusion, the Lord Jesus Christ shall appear to receive His BRIDE to everlasting glory,
2. There is so much happening at the same time; climate change, earth quakes, pandemic, economic downturn, social disorder, etc., therefore, “WATCH and PRAY, that ye ENTER NOT INTO TEMPTATION: the SPIRIT INDEED IS WILLING, but the FLESH IS WEAK” [Matthew 26:41] To WATCH is to OBSERVE and put what you SEE in proper PERSPECTIVE. WATCH, therefore, to EXAMINE your FAITH in Christ, knowing fully well “… ALL THINGS ARE NAKED and OPENED UNTO THE EYES OF HIM with whom we have to do” [Hebrews 4:13] Every secret SIN or WEIGHT of unruly PASSION dims the LIGHT in us, and though we SEE, we lack UNDERSTANDING of the TIME, unlike the “… children of Issachar, which were MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to know what Israel ought to do;…” [1 Chronicles 12:32] WATCHING, in deep and sincere FELLOWSHIP with God gives us the right PERSPECTIVE to PROPHETIC EVENTS, “The EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED; that ye may know what is the HOPE OF HIS CALLING, and what the RICHES OF THE GLORY OF HIS INHERITANCE in the saints”[Ephesians 1:18] With our INNER EYES ENLIGHTENED, we are no longer blind to the WILES of the ENEMY; SEEING what God SEES, we are quick to escape TEMPTATIONS of the FLESH and LIES of those who weave THEOLOGY into human WISDOM to interpret CURRENT AFFAIRS.
3. As global DISTRESS bites harder, more people are turning to PRAYER for respite and rightly so. PRAYER, indeed, is our LIFELINE to refreshing GRACE at times like this, but PRAYER without WATCHING is like a bird with one wing, it won’t fly. WATCHING and PRAYING are two sides of the same coin, “PRAYING ALWAYS with all prayer and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, and WATCHING THEREUNTO with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” [Ephesians 6:18] WATCHING opens the EYES of our UNDERSTANDING, and “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for WE KNOW NOT WHAT WE SHOULD PRAY FOR AS WE OUGHT: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us …” [Romans 8:26] Brethren, our TIME here is fast running out, let us do away with SELFISH PRAYERS and vain BABBLINGS which arise from COVETOUSNESS, “… let us LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT and the SIN which doth so easily beset us, and let us RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE that is set before us” [Hebrews 12:1] PRAYING or joining others for PRAYERS to disallow present global TRIBULATION, is a form of rebellion against God, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY”, says the Lord [Matthew 24:35] Let us, therefore, be established in PRESENT TRUTH, WATCHING and PRAYING for FINISHING STRENGTH “… BUILDING UP YOURSELVES on your most holy faith, PRAYING IN THE HOLY GHOST” [Jude 1:20]
4. As we WATCH and PRAY, waiting patiently for the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ, let us be careful not to be deceived, “For there shall arise FALSE CHRISTS, and FALSE PROPHETS, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, IF IT WERE POSSIBLE, SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT” [Matthew 24:24] FALSE CHRISTS signify FALSE MOVES of the ADVERSARY to DECEIVE and turn SAINTS into SCOFFERS, “… 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 3:4] There is a lot of DECEPTION surrounding the MARK of the BEAST; whatever form it takes, it is not the device or technology that matters but the decision to RECEIVE or DENY the MARK. More importantly, the MARK comes after the RAPTURE; if you are left behind determine not to take the MARK. Do not put your mind in diverse PREDICTIONS of the IDENTITY of the ANTICHRIST; many shall be so disappointed as to give up on their FAITH, but “Let no man deceive you by any means: for THAT DAY SHALL NOT COME, EXCEPT THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED,… ” [2Thesalonians 2:3] As the DAY draws nearer, there shall be many FALSE MOVES and PRETENDERS; WATCH and PRAY. HOLD ON to your FAITH in Christ, FOCUS on the trajectory of PROPHETIC EVENTS and not on PERSONS, “Take ye heed, WATCH and PRAY: FOR YE KNOW NOT WHEN THE TIME IS” [Mark 13:33]
5. If you are not BORN AGAIN, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, amen

BEWARE OF SCRIBES
1. When the Lord Jesus Christ said, in Luke 11:44, “Woe unto you, SCRIBES and PHARISEES…”, He spoke to this generation and was “… WRITTEN FOR OUR ADMONITION, upon whom the ENDS OF THE WORLD are come” [1 Corinthians 10:11] He did HATE SCRIBES, but exposed their HYPOCRISY to bring them to REPENTANCE, that He might SAVE them. Brethren, the SPIRIT of SCRIBES is very much evident in the present Church and we do not well if we keep quiet, because we desire to be RELIGIOUSLY CORRECT or for FEAR of what men will say or do. Thus, says the Lord, “BE NOT AFRAID OF THEIR FACES: for I AM WITH THEE to deliver thee, saith the LORD” [Jeremiah 1:8] Let us, in all SINCERITY, CONTEND for the DOCTRINES of Christ, not having any man in mind but Christ, WARNING all men as “… He said unto them in his DOCTRINE, BEWARE OF THE SCRIBES,…” [Mark 12:38] And this, let us do, not in ENVY, HATRED or “… EYESERVICE, as MENPLEASERS; but as the SERVANTS OF CHRIST, doing the WILL OF GOD FROM THE HEART” [Ephesians 6:6]
2. SCRIBES were first mentioned in 2 Samuel 8:17, and grew rapidly into a professional cadre of TEACHERS of the LAW, as PRIESTS paid more attention to RITUALS than MINISTRY of the LAW. By the time of Jesus Christ, PHARISEES, SADDUCEES and HERODIANS had SCRIBES who TAUGHT and INTERPRETED Scriptures to accommodate their excesses. The SPIRIT of SCRIBES is the reason there are DIVISIONS in the Church and SEMINARIES to INSTRUCT Preachers in sectional THEOLOGY. I assure you, there is no culture of BIBLE SCHOOLS or SEMINARIES in the NEW TESTAMENT Church, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU: but as the same ANOINTING TEACHETH YOU ALL THINGS, and is TRUTH, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” [1 John 22:27] Let no man be deceived, God does not require a professional DIPLOMA or DOCTORATE in THEOLOGY, “For it is GOD WHICH WORKETH IN YOU both to will and to do of his good pleasure” [Philippians 2:13] The choice is yours; BIBLE SCHOOLS will replicate THEOLOGY of SCRIBES in you, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU: but as the same ANOINTING TEACHETH YOU OF ALL THINGS, AND IS TRUTH, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” [1 John 2:27]
3. SCRIBES are neither BORN or ORDAINED by God, but forged in those who once LOVED the TRUTH, but driftedt into perfidious GREED and “… being past feeling have GIVEN THEMSELVES UNTO LASCIVIOUSNESS, to work all uncleanness WITH GREEDINESS” [Ephesians 4:19] Beloved, do more than listen to your Bishop; consider also his PASSION for earthly goods and his disposition to be accepted in the MARKETPLACES of this world. It is not my personal OPINION but the DOCTRINE of the Lord, “And he said unto them IN HIS DOCTRINE, BEWARE OF THE SCRIBES, which LOVE to go in LONG CLOTHING, and LOVE SALUTATIONS in the MARKETPLACES, And the CHIEF SEATS in the SYNAGOGUES, and the UPPERMOST ROOMS at FEASTS. Which DEVOUR WIDOW’S HOUSES, and FOR A PRETENCE MAKE LONG PRAYERS: these shall receive greater damnation” [Matthew 12:38-40] Those who turned the Church into a MARKETPLACE, and cover their LUSTS with LONG CLOTHING” of false piety are SCRIBES, “… men of corrupt minds, and DESTITUTE OF THE TRUTH, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW THYSELF” [1 Timothy 6:5] WATCH your Pastor closely, when a man who once LOVED the TRUTH is compromised by GREED, he no longer speaks against SIN, does not exalt RIGHTEOUSNESS and neglects JUDGMENT, but “… with FEIGNED WORDS MAKE MERCHADISE OF YOU: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not” [2 Peter 2:3]
4. SCRIBES are smart with words and you may never see the SCRIBE in your Pastor until it is too late, and you are SHUT OUT of heaven, “But WOE UNTO YOU, SCRIBES, and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! for ye SHUT UP THE KINGDOM of heaven against men: for ye NEITHER GO IN yourselves, NEITHER SUFFER YE THEM THAT ARE ENTERING TO GO IN” [Matthew 23:13] It is hard to believe, but there are Preachers in the Church hierarchy propelled by the SPIRIT of SCRIBES, like Simon in Samaria, “TO WHOM THEY ALL GAVE HEED, from the least to the greatest, SAYING THIS MAN IS THE GREAT POWER OF GOD” [Acts 8:10] You see, the GOSPEL is not about numbers, but CONFORMITY with the PATTERN of Jesus Christ, and “YE SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” [Matthew 7:16] After many years of crisscrossing nations in the name of Christ, the harvest is there for all to see, but without condemning any man’s work, the Bible says: “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] Beloved, break free of those who make merchandise of your SOUL and prepare yourself for the imminent appearance of Jesus Christ, when “… 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” [1Thessalonians 4:17]
5. Accept Jesus Christ and be CAUGHT UP at His appearance, amen

God is RIGHTEOUS and will not CONDEMN any man until he is JUDGED according to His BOOKS, as it is written: “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the BOOKS WERE OPENED: and ANOTHER BOOK was opened, which is the BOOK OF LIFE: and the dead were JUDGED…

MERCHANTS OF FAITH
1. FAITH is God reaching out to man, not the other way, “So then FAITH COMETH BY hearing, and HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD” [Romans 10:17] Beloved, FAITH does not come by joining a Church, but by HEARING; HEARING the Preacher and then HEARING God in your SPIRIT MAN and “The SPIRIT BEARETH WITH OUR SPIRIT, that we are the CHILDREN OF GOD” [Romans 8:16] By FAITH we are DEAD to the FLESH but ALIVE in Jesus Christ, “And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS and LUSTS” [Galatians 5:24] We LIVE to become WHAT GOD WANTS US TO BE, and not after the pursuit of carnal AMBITIONS and AFFECTIONS. FAITH, therefore, is the ability of God in us to accomplish His PURPOSE, “For it is GOD WHICH WORKETH IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO of HIS GOOD PLEASURE” [Philippians 2:13] Let us, therefore, be established in the TRUTH and be wary of MERCHANTS OF FAITH who turn the Bible upside down, “For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath” [Mark 4:25]
2. FAITH is kindled in our INNER MAN by REVELATION of God’s IDENTITY, and every man “… that cometh to God MUST BELIEVE HE IS, and that HE IS A REWARDER of them that diligently seek him” [Hebrews 11:6] God alone settles the MYSTERY of His IDENTITY, as He did to Peter “And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for FLESH and BLOOD HATH NOT REVEALED IT UNTO THEE, BUT MY FATHER which is in heaven” [Matthew 16:17] The MYSTERY is resolved in Jesus Christ, “And without controversy great is the MYSTERY OF GODLINESS: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, … “ [1 Timothy 3:16] When we ACCEPT Jesus Christ as God manifest in FLESH, our INNER MAN is delivered from bondage to SIN, quickened by FAITH and empowered by the SPIRIT of Christ to WILL and DO to PLEASE God. Be warned, those who promise LIBERTY from SIN outside the REVELATION of God manifest in Christ are MERCHANTS OF FAITH, “While they PROMISE THEM LIBERTY, they themselves are the SERVANTS OF CORRUPTION: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage” [2 Peter 2:19] Friend, if all you have is the WITNESS of men, those who assure you of SALVATION in Jesus Christ MANIPULATE your ignorance, thus says the Lord: “No man can come to me, except the FATHER WHICH HAS SENT ME DRAW HIM: and I will raise him up at the last day [John 6:44]
3. FAITH is the STRENGTH of our CONFIDENCE, “In HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH GOD, that cannot lie, PROMISED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN” [Titus 1:2] Whereas every PROMISE of God is rooted in ETERNAL LIFE, we have by FAITH the SUBSTANCE of EVERLASTING LIFE in this BODY, as it is written: “Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of THINGS HOPED FOR, the EVIDENCE of THINGS NOT SEEN” [Hebrews 11:1] The “THINGS HOPED FOR” pertain to TREASURES of EVERLSTING LIFE, of which “… EYE HATH NOT SEEN, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things WHICH GOD HATH PREPRED FOR THEM THAT LOVE HIM” [1 Corinthians 2:9] Beloved, FAITH is programmed for heavenly TREASURES; those who collect MONEY from you with promises of Abraham’s BLESSING make MERCHANDIZE of your FAITH. Be not deceived, the BLESSING of Abraham was the PROMISE of ETERNAL LIFE, made to the FATHER of FAITH, “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, read also Hebrews 11:10] The SPIRIT of Christ, which we receive by FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of our FAITH, the “… EARNEST OF OUR INHERITANCE…” in Jesus Christ [Ephesians 1:14] Those who peddle FAITH as MAGNET for earthly goods are MERCHANTS OF FAITH, “… destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW THYSELF” [1 Timothy 6:5]
4. FAITH is God in us, not a COMMODITY that may be bought, imparted or sold. EVIDENCE of our FAITH are not in “THINGS” that are SEEN, but in living in CONFORMITY to God’s prescribed PATTERN: “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] FAITH is the VALUE of our relationship with God and each man’s FAITH is measured according to CONFORMITY with Jesus Christ. I must, therefore, warn you of some who present themselves as MODEL for your FAITH, and DISTRACT you with false pretenses. Listen carefully, FAITH is PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with God, not MENTORSHIP, but “LOOKING UNTO JESUS the AUTHOR and FINISHER OF OUR FAITH; who for the joy that was set before him ENDURED THE CROSS, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” [Hebrews 12:2] Be prepared to SUFFER, if need be for your FAITH, and “… know ye not that the FRIENDSHIP OF THE WORLD IS ENMITY WITH GOD? whosoever therefore will be a FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD” [James 4:4] Resist with all your strength, the entreaties of those who sold their SOULS to the devil to seal “FRIENDSHIP” with this world, “That the TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, MIGHT BE FOUND UNTO PRAISE and HONOUR and GLORY AT THE APPEARING OF JESUS CHRIST”[1 Peter 1:7]
5. Accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Saviour, amen

WEEP NO MORE
1. Beloved, the Lord is not blind to your TEARS in this perverse and cruel generation, even as Lot, “… dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, VEXED HIS RIGHTEOUS SOUL from day to day WITH THEIR UNLAWFUL DEEDS;” [2 Peter 2:8] The Lord SEES your toiling to retain His RIGHTEOUSNESS, under PASTORS, who lay on you “… HEAVY BURDENS and GRIEVOUS TO BE BORNE, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers” [Matthew 23:4] God is mindful of the WEAKNESS of the FLESH, and “… will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; BUT WITH THE TEMPTATION ALSO MAKE A WAY OF ESCAPE, that ye may be able to bear it” [1 Corinthians 10:13] Though God’s “WAY OF ESCAPE” may not kill those who PERSECUTE you or bring untimely end to your AFFLICTIONS, WEEP NO MORE, His COMFORT shall wipe away your TEARS and strengthen you. Thus, says the LORD: “Comfort ye, COMFORT YE MY PEOPLE, saith your God” [Isaiah 40:1]
2. It is reassuring to acknowledge the OMNIPOTENCE of Jesus Christ, as it is written: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ALL POWER IS GIVEN TO ME IN HEAVEN and IN EARTH” [Matthew 28:18] We are COMFORTED in all situations because Christ is for us, and “… ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, to them who are the CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE” [Romans 8:28] When the Bible said “ALL THINGS”, it includes sundry TRIALS and PAINS, which THINGS were spoken as prerequisite for the perfection of our FAITH, as the Bible says: “… the TRYING OF YOUR FAITH WORKETH PATIENCE. But LET PATIENCE HAVE HER PERFECT WORK, that YE MAY BE PERFECT and entire, wanting nothing” [James 1:2] Brethren, we must not be ignorant of TRUTH, as to join hands with those who pray, fight or engage in politics to change the tide of PROPHECY, for “… we must through MUCH TRIBULATION ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM of God” [Acts 14:22] Let us be COMFORTED in WELL DOING, not fainting or wearied by SUFFERING, “But REJOICE, INASMUCH AS YE ARE PARTAKERS OF CHRIST’S SUFFERINGS; that, when HIS GLORY shall be revealed, ye may be GLAD WITH EXCEEDING JOY” [1 Peter 4:13] We must not be DISTRACTED by our SUFFERING, but LOOK UP to the imminent appearance of Christ, for “… WHEN THESE THINGS BEGIN TO COME TO PASS, then LOOK UP, and lift up your heads; for YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWETH NIGH” [Luke 21:28]
3. God has it all worked out, “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] We are CONSOLED, knowing there is an END to our PAINS, “For SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine expectation shall not be cut off” [Proverbs 23:18] We refuse to be TROUBLED because God has prepared a BETTER PLACE for us, therefore, “LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I WILL COME AGAIN, and receive you unto myself; that WHERE I AM, THERE YE MAY BE ALSO” [John 14:1-3] Listen carefully, though our AFFLICTIONS are VISIBLE, they are not ETERNAL and shall soon pass away: “… for the THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; but the THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL” [2 Corinthians 4:18] Our PAINS and SORROWS are TEMPORARY and shall give way in the TWINKLING of an eye, when the Lord shall appear, “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” [1Thessalonians 4:17-18]
4. CONFIDENCE in God is the antidote to our TEARS, “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] I must not fail to warn you of PREDICTIONS orchestrated by ORACLES of demonic wisdom, to shake your CONFIDENCE. Be not be carried away by INTERNET SITES and SOCIAL MEDIA commentators who peddle frightening THEORIES of the MARK of the BEAST, but do not touch the COMFORTING TRUTH of RAPTURE. Listen carefully, the TRANSLATION of SAINTS precedes the MARK, as it is written: “IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days shall the sun be darkened, … And then shall APPEAR THE SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN IN HEAVEN: and then shall ALL THE TRIBES OF THE EARTH MOURN and they shall see the SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWER and GREAT GLORY” [Matthew 24:29-30] The “SIGN OF THE SON OF MAN” shall cut short current TRIBULATION, we shall be TRANSLATED and the “TRIBES OF THE EARTH SHALL MOURN” by reason of the MARK which follows. The “SON OF MAN COMING” puts an end to the MARK at ARMAGEDDON, and reigns through the MILLENIUM. Beloved, HOLD ON, “… weeping may endure for a ight, but JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING” (Psalms 30:5) Turn away from SIN and from GOOGLE, MSN, BAIDU, YAHOO, etc., to interpret the Bible and “COME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOUR and are HEAVY LADEN, and I WILL GIVE YOU REST”, says the Lord [Matthew 11:28[
5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and SAVIOUR, amen.

HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN?
1. I acknowledge the concern of those who wish we do not write “DISTRESSING” things about the Church or Pastors. If we all keep quiet, who shall WARN the flocks of “… FALSE PROPHETS, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but INWARDLY, THEY ARE RAVENING WOLVES” [Matthew 7:15] Brethren, who can deny PROPHECY is fulfilled, “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 FALSE CHRISTS and FALSE PROPHETS mentioned above are leaders raised in the Church, but FALLEN irredeemably into DISHONOUR, “For it is impossible for those who were ONCE ENLIGHTENED, and have TASTED OF THE HEAVENLY GIFT, and were made PARTAKERS OF THE HOLY GHOST, And have TASTED THE GOOD WORD OF GOD, and the powers of the world to come, IF THEY SHALL FALL AWAY, TO RENEW THEM AGAIN UNTO REPENTANCE; …” [Hebrews 6: 4-6]
2. No man is too ANOINTED to FALL; Consider Satan, of who the Bible says: “Thou art the ANOINTED CHERUB that covereth; and I have set thee so: THOU WAST UPON THE HOLY MOUNTAIN of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire” [Ezekiel 28:14] He FELL on the altar of selfish AMBITION, as it is written: “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High” [Isaiah 14:14] AMBITION, that is, unbridled AFFECTION contrary to the WILL of God is the MOTHER of LUST. For this reason, when any man comes to God through Jesus Christ, he is required to CRUCIFY SELF, “And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS” [Galatians 5:24] We renounce ALL RIGHTS to whatsoever we ever desired to be, to become what God wants us to be. Evidently, some keep back pockets of LUST; notwithstanding, God gives GIFTS and CALLINGS” to ALL who come to Him through Jesus Christ, “… 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, See also Romans 11:29] Whereas LUST may not stop a man from becoming an Apostle or Church Leader, it will CORRUPT his SOUL and drag him into a battle he cannot win, “For the FLESH LUSTETH AGAINST THE SPIRIT, and the SPIRIT AGAINST FLESH: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that YE CANNOT DO THE THINGS THAT YE WOULD” [Galatians 5:17]
3. No man is too POPULAR to FALL; you are wise to FOCUS on your Pastor’s HANDLING of the WORD of God than his fame and material status, “… for MAN LOOKETH ON THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE, but the LORD LOOKETH ON THE HEART” [1 Samuel 16:7] The WORD we minister is the SPIRIT and LIFE of Jesus Christ; “It is the SPIRIT THAT QUICKENETH; the FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: the WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto you, THEY ARE SPIRIT, and THEY ARE LIFE” [John 6:63] Wherever LUST is present, the FLESH rules and there is DISHONESTY, MANIPULATION and REBELLION in the ministry of the WORD. Those who inflame your soul with PROMISES of “MATERIAL PROSPERITY” in the name of Jesus Christ HANDLE the WORD of God DISHONESTLY ”… this is THE PROMISE that he hath promised us, even ETERNAL LIFE” [1John 2:25] When they quote copiously from the OLD TESTAMENT without relaying to you the “BETTER HOPE” of the NEW COVENANT, they MANIPULATE you, “For the LAW MADE NOTHING PERFECT, but the bringing in of A BETTER HOPE did; by the which we draw nigh unto God” [Hebrews 7:1] The NEW TESTAMENT offers us LIBERTY in perfect CONFORMITY Christ, not any man; living or dead. Those who intrude into your FAITH as PATRIACHS or spiritual FATHERS do so to MANIPULATE you into BONDAGE. The Bible says: “… ALL YE ARE BRETHREN. And CALL NO MAN YOUR FATHER upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven” [Matthew 23:8-9] We are BRETHREN, those who teach otherwise lure you into active REBELLION against God.
4. The LEAVEN of secret AMBITION, hid for many years, has brought forth a breed of Church leaders who “… PROFESS THAT THEY KNOW GOD, BUT IN WORKS THEY DENY HIM, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate” [Titus 1:16] Jesus Christ told us to build DISCIPLES, not grandiose Cathedrals, universities, Bible schools, hospitals, etc. He did not instruct us to build hospitals in His NAME; He is our HEALER. The school built by God is the heart redeemed by the BLOOD of Jesus, where the HOLY GHOST dwells, not faculties of human wisdom. All these and such like them are DEAD WORKS of drowning souls seeking to JUSTIFY their selfish AMBITIONS before men, as it is written: “… 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] Dearly beloved, watch out for those who extort your meagre resources and turn around to VINDICATE themselves, “… men of CORRUPT MINDS, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW THYSELF” [1Timothy 6:5] Beloved, I challenge you to SEE beyond the deceitfulness of CRASS MATERIALISM; look through the eyes of God and deliver yourself from ENEMIES of your SOUL, “WHOSE END IS DESTRUCTION, WHOSE GOD IS THEIR BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, WHO MIND EARTHLY THINGS)” [Philippians 3:18-19]
5. Friend, the appearance of the Lord is at hand; REPENT and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, Amen

PATTERN OF CONFORMITY
1. CREATION is God expressing Himself in a PATTERN compatible to His PURPOSE, that in due season, He might ”… RECONCILE ALL THINGS UNTO HIMSELF; by him, I say, whether they be THINGS IN EARTH, OR IN HEAVEN” [Colossians 1:20] When, therefore, God said: “… Let us make man IN OUR IMAGE, AFTER OUR LIKENESS: …”, He set the PATTERN OF CONFORMITY for those who shall be RECONCILED to Him. He set the PATTERN in the “FIRSTBORN”, “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] FIRSTBORN is Jesus Christ, “… the brightness of his glory, and the EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON, …” [Hebrews 1:3] If any man is not CONFORMED to the PATTERN of Jesus Christ, he is accounted as TARES and as “… TARES ARE GATHERED AND BURNED in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world” [Matthew 13:40] To who are you CONFORMED; the FIRSTBORN, your Pastor, denomination or the world?
2. If any man CONFESS there are three gods, he is deceived; “… the LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD” [Mark 12:29] If you BELIEVE there is one God, it is not enough, “THOU BELIEVEST THAT THERE IS ONE GOD; thou doest well: the DEVILS ALSO BELIEVE, and tremble” [James 2:19] The true IDENTITY of God is His NAME, and His NAME is Jesus Christ, “… a NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: That at the NAME OF JESUS EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of things IN HEAVEN, and things IN EARTH, and things UNDER THE EARTH” [Philippians 2:9-10] We are SAVED and CONFORM to the IMAGE OF THE SON when we accept Jesus Christ as true IDENTITY of God, “NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: for there is NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN given among men, whereby we must be saved” [Acts 4:12] His NAME is the same in all nations, by which our SINS are forgiven and we are BAPTIZED into the LIKENESS of the FIRSTBORN, as it is written: “… REPENT, and be BAPTIZED every one of you IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” [Acts 2:38] Concerning BAPTISM, it is written: “… BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” [Matthew 29:19] It is ONE NAME, not NAMES, for which reason Jesus said: “I AM COME IN FATHER’S NAME, …” [John 5:43]
3. Jesus Christ gave Himself a SACRIFICE for us, “By the which will WE ARE SANCTIFIED through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” [Hebrew 10:10] We are SANCTIFIED, set aside from the world, to LIVE as Jesus Christ did, “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] Unbridled appetite for the things of this world is a SNARE, and must not be found in us “For WE BROUGHT NOTHING INTO THIS WORLD, and it is certain WE CAN CARRY NOTHING OUT” [1 Timothy 6:7] I warn you, beware of those who inflame LUST in you for excesses of the things of this world, “… men of corrupt minds, and DESTITUTE OF THE TRUTH, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: FROM SUCH WITHDRAW THYSELF” [1 Timothy 6:5] Do not be confused or distracted when those who have preeminence in the Church are celebrated and loved by the world; thus says the Lord: “… I HAVE CHOSEN YOU OUT OF THE WORLD, THEREFORE THE WORLD HATETH YOU” [John 15: 18-19] If the world HATES us, we are CONFORMED to Jesus Christ. How come the world loves our diverse brands of Christianity; “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the FRIENDSHIP OF THE WORLD IS ENMITY WITH GOD? whosoever therefore will be A FRIEND OF THE WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD” [James 4:4]
4. There are many VOICES in the world, as there are denominations, each one professing CONFORMITY to Christ, but only ONE PATTERN is approved of God [1Corinthians 14:10] It is your duty to “… WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with fear and trembling” [Philippians 2:12] I urge you to get it right, as did the Brethren in Berea, who “… RECEIVED THE WORD with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO” [Acts 17:11] Beloved your ETERNAL RELEVANCE is not tied to any man or local assembly but Jesus Christ; I charge you, therefore, to regularly “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 13:3] Concerning your FAITH, listen closely, “… FAITH is the substance of THINGS HOPED FOR, the EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN” [Hebrews 11:1] We are CONFORMED to Christ by FAITH, in sure HOPE of His Coming, “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 5:5] Those who have this HOPE, keep themselves unspotted from the world, labouring to be CONFORMED to the LIKENESS of the FIRSTBORN, and “… WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is” [1 John 3:2]
5. Friend, the appearance of the Lord is so close. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, and be CONFORMED to the FIRSTBORN, amen.

ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC
1. I recently read a man argue RAPTURE is a fable because the word was not once mentioned in the Bible. While it is true the exact word was not used, the Bible is also not a textbook and cannot be read like a scientific journal, “ALL SCRIPTURE IS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” [2 Timothy 3:16] The Bible is a compendium of MYSTERIES CONCEALED, for “It is the GLORY OF GOD TO CONCEAL A THING: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter” [Proverbs 25:2] The Bible is understood by those to whom “… it is given to know the MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD: but to others in parables; that SEEING THEY MIGHT NOT SEE, and HEARING THEY MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND” [Luke 8:10] ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC is a profound MYSTERY hid in the Bible, in the class of RAPTURE; it is GIVEN and understood by those initiated into the “MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD”.
2. MELCHISEDEC is the heavenly ORDER of PRIESTHOOD made perfect in Jesus Christ, our HIGH PRIEST. If there is a HIGH PRIEST, there must of necessity be PRIESTS who are made like Him. To be made like Him, He became like us, “Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be MADE LIKE UNTO HIS BRETHREN, that he might be a merciful and FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST in things pertaining to God, …” [Hebrews 2:17] Having said that, the Bible says: “For this MELCHISEDEC, KING of Salem, PRIEST of the most high God, …” [Hebrews 7:1] If this man was KING and PRIEST, so are we who come to God through Jesus Christ, who “… WAST SLAIN, and hast REDEEMED US TO GOD by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS and PRIESTS: …” [Revelation 5:9-10] MELCHISEDEC was not God in FLESH, or a personal name, but a description of who we are in Jesus Christ, “… being by INTERPRETATION KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and after that also King of Salem, which is, KING OF PEACE” [Hebrews 7:2] This man by divine providence had attained RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE with God, even as we who are in Jesus Christ, “… who knew no sin; that WE MIGHT BE MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD in him” [2 Corinthians 5:21] We are KINGS OF PEACE, even as Christ decreed, saying: “… MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU: not as the world giveth, give I unto you” [John 14:27]
3. ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC is the prophetic mandate of GRACE in the BLOOD of the “… LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD [Revelation 13:8] The man we call MELCHISEDEC obviously found GRACE, even as “… NOAH FOUND GRACE in the eyes of the LORD”, and Enoch, and Job, of who God TESTIFIED, “… Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, A PERFECT and AN UPRIGHT MAN, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? … [Job 2:3] When God called Abraham, he was neither PERFECT nor UPRIGHT but obtained GRACE, as one in who “… ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” [Genesis 12:3, See also Joshua 24:2] When Abraham met this man, he had ISRAEL in his loins and in his hands spoils of men and women, GENTILES, and gave him “TITHES OF ALL”, “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] This man, standing as PRIEST OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, passed the baton of GRACE to Abraham and pronounced the BLESSING, by which we are SAVED by GRACE through FAITH in the SEED that should come through Abraham, as it is written: “And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth BREAD and WINE: and he was the PRIEST OF THE MOST HIGH GOD. And HE BLESSED HIM, …” [Genesis 14:18-19] BREAD signify the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ, and WINE, His SPIRIT, by which the BRIDE are sealed into the ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC.
4. ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC is the everlasting PRIESTHOOD of those who are BORN, “… NOT OF BLOOD, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, BUT OF GOD” [John 1:13] Take note brethren, if any man is BORN OF GOD, “… HE IS A NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW” [2 Corinthians 5:17] In Christ we are NEW CREATURES, even as the man we call MELICHISEDEC, “Without father, without mother, WITHOUT DESCENT, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but MADE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF GOD; abideth A PRIEST CONTINUALLY” [Hebrews 7:3] If this man had no father or mother so are you, if you are “BORN OF GOD” and established in EVERLASTING LIFE, having neither “BEGINNING OF DAYS, NOR END OF LIFE”. MELCHISEDEC was not the SON OF GOD, but MADE LIKE Him; a FORERUNNER of who we are and what we shall be, as it is written: “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] Beloved, consider how great this man was and Enoch, Noah, Job, Abraham, David, and others “… 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] Let us, therefore, press towards the mark of the calling of Jesus Christ to be made PERFECT with them at His imminent appearance.
5. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today and take your place in the ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC, amen

MY WITNESS
1. This is my personal TESTIMONY of SALVATION through Jesus Christ; I put it to you, trusting God you will share the GOOD NEWS with others to the glory of God. I formally became a CHRISTIAN through BAPTISM when I was seven years old, by SPRINKLING. I have since realized the word CHRISTIAN was coined by men who were neither DISCIPLES nor believed in the grace of God, for “… disciples were CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST IN ANTIOCH” [Acts 11:26] Jesus Christ called us WITNESSES, saying: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and YE SHALL BE WITNESSES UNTO ME … unto the uttermost part of the earth” [Acts 1:8] I write to you, therefore, as a LIVING WITNESS of “That which was FROM THE BEGINNING, which we HAVE HEARD, which we HAVE SEEN with our eyes, which we have LOOKED UPON, and our hands HAVE HANDLED, of the WORD OF LIFE”, which is Jesus Christ [1 John 1:1]
2. Friend, I am sure you like to know how I died on Saturday, 31st December 1994! That Saturday evening, I went out with the boys to DRINK but refused to go along to a nearby Church to usher the new year with fireworks. I walked home, alone, and had to pass through a dark lonely stretch of road. I was not halfway through, when I heard running footsteps and voices of a mob chasing a burglar. As soon as the thief was in view, an angry mob descended on him. I may not have taken more than three steps away from the tumult, when shouts of “HAPPY NEW YEAR” rent the air from churches nearby. Almost immediately, I heard the “STILL SMALL VOICE” tugging at my heart to GIVE IT UP [1 Kings 19:12] My dear Friend, there were no angels with flapping wings, no thunders or lightning, but the VOICE asking me what would have happened if the mob mistook me for the thief; I was drunk and had wraps of marijuana in my pocket! I died on that dark lonely road, GAVE IT UP, that is, my life; yet I live, not of MYSELF but Jesus Christ LIVES in me, “I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: NEVERTHELESS I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” [Galatians 2:20] Does it sound strange; trust me it is true.
3. Friend, in that I DIED and yet I LIVE, it is the MYSTERY OF GODLINESS, “And without controversy GREAT IS THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, … “ [1 Timothy 3:16] God was manifest in Jesus Christ, to pay the WAGES of our SIN, “For the WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH; but the GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord” [Romans 6:23] We were SINNERS from the womb, not of choice but by inheritance through Adam and Eve, but “… 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] Jesus Christ DIED and rose from the DEAD, so did I when I GAVE UP my OLD LIFE. I DIED on that dark and lonely stretch of road, and was BORN AGAIN, a NEW CREATURE in the image of Jesus Christ, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is A NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW” [1 Corinthians 5:17] My dear Friend, I did not pay a dime to any man for my SALVATION but GAVE UP everything I ever wanted to be to become what God wants me to be, “… and I count ALL THINGS BUT LOSS for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have SUFFERED THE LOSS OF ALL THINGS, and do count them but dung, THAT I MAY WIN CHRIST” [Philippians 3:8]
4. Friend, if it seems I am so far away from you, it is not so. I have never loved you more than I do today; sharing with you the HOPE of NEW LIFE in Christ and of a far better world at His Coming, for “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” [1 Corinthians 15:19]Believe me, I do not write as one who is free of the common afflictions of this dying world; I am TEMPTED as you and SUFFER many things, “But I KEEP UNDER MY BODY and BRING IT TO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” [1 Corinthians 9:27] I am always praying for you to HEAR that STILL SMALL VOICE and escape the LIES and HYPOCRISES of those who merchandize the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ for material GAIN. Friend, His VOICE is tugging at your heart, “… To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day IF YOU WILL HEAR HIS VOICE, HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS” [Hebrews 4:7] I must not fail to tell you, of the imminent appearance of the Lord, when “… 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” [1 Thessalonians 4:16-17] How I wish you and I shall be caught up with Him at His appearance.
5. Friend, I plead with you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and share the GOOD NEWS with others, amen

THE BOOK AND THE BOOKS
1. God is RIGHTEOUS and will not CONDEMN any man until he is JUDGED according to what is written His BOOKS, as it is written: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the BOOKS WERE OPENED: and ANOTHER BOOK was opened, which is the BOOK OF LIFE: and the dead were JUDGED OUT OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS, ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS [Revelation 20:12] The DEAD were JUDGED by the TESTIMONY of the BOOKS and CONDEMNED because their WORKS were contrary to the WITNESS of the BOOKS. The BOOKS TESTIFY of the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and every mans WORK is stored in his SOUL, for which reason, The SOUL that SINNETH, it shall DIE [Ezekiel 18:20] Those who BELIEVE what is written in the BOOKS and DO them WRITE their names in the BOOK OF LIFE; And WHOSOEVER WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE [Revelation 20:15]
2. God, in times past poured Himself into His prophets and IN THESE LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds [Hebrews 1:1-2] The WORD spoken to His Prophets is the same that was made FLESH in Jesus Christ; this is the MYSTERY OF GODLINESS; GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, PREACHED UNTO GENTILES, believed on in the world, received up into glory [1 Timothy 3:16 & John 1:14] The written WORD is the TESTIMONY of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS to bring SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED [Romans 1:16-17] Listen carefully, it is not the LETTERS on the pages of the BIBLE that SAVE but the WORD MADE FLESH, who DIED for us and with His BLOOD erased all HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES THAT WAS AGAINST US, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross [Colossians 2:14] Friend, whosoever BELIEVES Jesus Christ is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God made FLESH, is established in His RIGHTEOUSNESS and there is NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, who WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, but AFTER THE SPIRIT [Romans 8:1] If any desires to be RIGHTEOUS and LIVE forever, let him STUDY the BOOKS to WALK in the TRUTH.
3. The BOOK of SEVEN SEALS, in Revelation 5-8, is so important, God came out of Himself to break the SEALS. It exposes Satan changing HORSES to DECEIVE, INTIMIDATE and CONTROL the world, before merging into the PALE HORSE to reveal the MAN OF SIN, Who OPPOSETH and EXALTETH HIMSELF ABOVE ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, SHEWING HIMSELF THAT HE IS GOD [2 Thessalonians 2:4] The BOOK of SEVEN SEALS is the PROPHETIC WISDOM of God to the ELECT, and they shall not be DECEIVED “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 LITTLE BOOK in Revelation10:1-3 is the same that was sealed in Daniel 12:9, and of which the Bible says: And HE HAD IN HIS HAND A LITTLE BOOK OPEN: . And cried with a loud voice, AS WHEN A LION ROARETH: [Revelation 10:1-3] The RAINBOW ANGEL is the angelic presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, the LION OF JUDAH and the LITTLE BOOK in His hand is the GOSPEL of the LAST DAYS. When John, a JEW, ate it, it was SWEET in his mouth because it proclaims SALVATION to Israel, but BITTER in his belly because it speaks of GREAT TRIBULATION to his nation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be [Matthew 24:21]
4. The BOOK OF LIFE is the MYSTERY of Gods FOREKNOWLEDGE, 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] Here is the MYSTERY; we WRITE our names in the BOOK OF LIFE when we BELIEVE the TESTIMONY of Gods RIGHTEOUSNESS, but God COMPILED the names written in the BOOK OF LIFE from the foundation of the world [Revelation 17:8] The END and BEGINNING are the same to God; His FOREKNOWLEDGE does not CONTEND with mans WILL, but Declaring the END FROM THE BEGINNING , He is JUST and TRUE [Isaiah 46:10] Again, God is JUST and is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: But in every nation he that FEARETH HIM, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED WITH HIM“ [Acts 10:34-35] There is a BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE, which is not really a BOOK but the record of those who WROTE their names in the BOOK OF LIFE with exemplary FAITH. The men in Malachi 3:17-18, Cornelius in Acts 10:31 and some in the days of John, the Baptist, WROTE their names in the BOOK OF LIFE in commendable style, as it is written: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN SUFFERETH VIOLENCE, and the VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE [Matthew 11:12]

-
MYSTERY OF BRIDE, TARES AND CHAFF
1. Look around, there is palpable DISTRESS everywhere, “MEN’S HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth …” [Luke 21:26] In the Church, there is “SHAKING” as the Lord says to His angels: “… GATHER YE TOGETHER FIRST THE TARES, and BIND THEM IN BUNDLES to BURN THEM: but GATHER THE WHEAT into my barn” [Matthew 13:30] Beloved, God is not helpless to stem the overflowing tide of pandemics, terrorism, economic downturn, social disorder, etc., but with TRIBULATION shall He “… GATHER THE WHEAT into his garner; but the CHAFF HE WILL BURN with fire unquenchable:” [Luke 3:17 & Acts 14:22] Though TARES have their roots deep in the Church, “… EVERY PLANT, WHICH MY HEAVENLY FATHER HATH NOT PLANTED, SHALL BE ROOTED UP” [Mathew 15:13] CHAFF is intermingled with the HARVEST, but as a pregnant woman breaks WATER in PAINS and in SORROW lets out BLOOD, before the BABY comes, so shall the Lord PURGE His Church to separate WHEAT from CHAFF.
2. TARES, having no heavenly relationship with WHEAT are gathered first, and of such was “… SIMON, WHICH BEFORETIME IN THE SAME CITY USED SORCERY, and bewitched the people of Samaria, … 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] Such folks, irrespective of status are WEEDS in the Lord’s vineyard, having a FORM OF GODLINESS, but not the POWER of God that resounds to EVERLASTING LIFE [2 Timothy 3:5] Listen carefully, the present global campaign to bring all BELIEFS under one umbrella sounds good, but in reality signify the GATHERING and BUNDLING of TARES before the harvest, as it is written: “… Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; LEST WHILE YE GATHER UP THE TARES, YE ROOT UP ALSO THE WHEAT with them” [Matthew 13:28-29] It is not coincidence that diverse religious groups are coming together under one umbrella, which thing was impossible to imagine some years back. Angels of God are at work, pulling and BUNDLING TARES with all shades of FALSE RELIGION, in preparation for the harvest of the BRIDE, “The ENEMY THAT SOWED THEM IS THE DEVIL; the harvest is the end of the world; and the REAPERS ARE THE ANGELS” [Matthew 13:39] The BUNDLING is almost done, and Scripture is fulfilled, “THEY WENT OUT FROM US, but THEY WERE NOT OF US; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us…” [1 John 2:19]
3. Season of THRESHING is creeping on the Church; BRIDE shall be separated from CHAFF and “… time is come that JUDGMENT MUST BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD …” [1 Peter 4:17] BRIDE is the WHEAT, PREDESTINATED to be “CONFORMED TO THE IMAGE OF HIS SON, that he might be the FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BRETHREN” [Romans 8:29] The BRIDE was born by the “SINCERE MILK OF THE WORD” and matures on STRONG MEAT of FELLOWSHIP of Christ’s SUFFERING, and ”.. STRONG MEAT BELONGETH TO THEM THAT ARE OF FULL AGE, even those who by reason of use have their SENSES EXERCISED TO DISCERN BOTH GOOD and EVIL” [Hebrews 5:14] BRIDE and CHAFF began on the SINCERE WORD; but CHAFF got stuck on SOUR MILK and refused to CRUCIFY the FLESH on the diet of STRONG MEAT, “For when for the time ye ought to be TEACHERS, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are BECOME SUCH AS HAVE NEED OF MILK, AND NOT OF STRONG MEAT” [Hebrews 5:12] CHAFF are carnal Christians, ensnared in “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] If any man’s FAITH is fastened on earthly parameters, he is CHAFF “… HE THAT SOWETH TO HIS FLESH SHALL OF THE FLESH REAP CORRUPTION; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” [Galatians 6:8]
4. CHAFF is the portion of HARVEST DRIED UP by EXPOSURE to the elements. When those “… WHO WERE ONCE ENLIGHTENED, and have TASTED OF THE HEAVENLY GIFT ..” embrace WORLDLINESS and EXPOSE their flocks to a GOSPEL “SWEETENED” with CRASS MATERIALISM, WHEAT turns to CHAFF. If we have begun well in Christ, let us remain in Him and retain His REFRESHING GRACE to the season of HARVEST, as it is written: “If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and CAST THEM INTO THE FIRE, and they are burned” [John 15:6] The BRIDE abides in Christ, TARES have no part in Him and CHAFF were once in Him but shall soon be separated. I charge you to be careful of those who “WATER” down the GOSPEL to be at peace with this world, “… know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be A FRIEND OF THIS WORLD IS THE ENEMY OF GOD” [James 4:4] The easiest way to turn your WHEAT to CHAFF is to submit your destiny to those who inflame your mind to LUST after the things of this world, “For when THEY SPEAK GREAT SWELLING WORDS OF VANITY, they allure through the LUSTS OF THE FLESH, through much wantonness, … ” [2 Peter 2:18] Beloved, HOLD ON to TRUTH, the time is come that WHEAT, TARES and CHAFF shall be separated.
5. Accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Saviour and take your place in His glorious HARVEST, amen
