HOUSE OF GODS
HOUSE OF GODS
“And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest” [Judges 17:5]
1. Micah built a house of gods.
The Bible says: “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes” [Judges 17:6] After some years in the Promised Land, Israel departed from God and every man “did that which was right in his own eyes”. In their new found prosperity, the people kicked against their God, as it is written: “But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation” [Deuteronomy 32:15] As gross darkness covered the land, a house of gods sprang up in the house of Micah. This son of Belial stole money from his mother, for which she placed a curse on him [Judges 17:2] When he returned the money, mother and son conspired to pollute the land with idols, as it is written: “Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah” [Judges 17:4] Micah made his son a priest and got a Levite to preside over his abomination [Judges 17:12]2. This generation is drifting in stormy waters.
The Light of God is gradually going out in Western Europe and America. The nations that God favoured have forsaken His precepts. Those who took the Bible round the globe are trapped in mirror of darkness. The Church they helped to propagate is infested by house of gods. Every denomination is right in her eyes and every preacher is law to himself. The flocks are like sheep without shepherd and every man is right in his own way. Prophecy is fulfilled, as it is written: “…in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy…” [2 Timothy 3:1-9] There are “Micahs” in every city and house of gods on every street. The sheer number of these abominations is proof that organized Church is fast falling into deep slumber. Present Truth is far from her pulpits as she swims in murky waters of strong delusion, of which it is written: “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” [2 Thessalonians 2:11-12]3. Micah was a thief.
Thus says the Lord: “Thou shalt not steal” [Exodus 20:15] Satan is the ultimate thief who came: “…to steal, and to kill, and to destroy… [John 10:10] His seed are in priestly robes, presiding over house of gods. Jesus Christ planted His Church on the Rock, not a stash of stolen money. Thus says the Lord: “…thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” [Matthew 16:18] The “Rock” is the revelation of Jesus as Christ, the Messiah [Matthew 16:16] Every parish planted outside the revelation of Jesus Christ is a house of gods and den of thieves. Every local assembly built with borrowed or stolen funds is a business venture for trading in souls of men [Revelation 13: 11-13] Every house of gods is a platform for deception, where men of corrupt minds celebrate gain over godliness, as it is written: “…men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself” [1 Timothy 6:5] House of gods are shameful spots in the fold, they are clouds without water; “…carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots” [Jude 1:12]4. Micah sinned unto death.
God said to Moses: “And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons” [Exodus 28:1] When Micah made his son a priest, he sinned unto death by usurping the sovereign right of God to ordain priests [1 John 5:16] To feather their nests, Micahs in this generation make priests out of every available hand. Those so “ordained” contrary to divine injunction, wear dishonoured robes, for it is written: “… no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron” [Hebrews 5:4] God made a distinction between priests and Levites. Priests minister before God in the Holy Place and Holy of Holies. Levites minister in the outer court, slaughtering goats and receiving offerings from the people. Levites serve tables, priests are called; “…to prayer, and to the ministry of the word” [Acts 6:4]5. Come out of house of gods.
Thus says the Lord: “…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] Do not be deceived, house of gods are out there. Check out where you fellowship, try the spirit, as it is written: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” [1John 4:1] Your life is precious to God, do not mortgage it to that thief in cassock. Take heed you are not trapped in stomach ministry of a Levite turned priest. Tell that impostor, it is written: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” [Matthew 6:33] Salvation of Christ is not slavery, come out of the house of gods. Find a parish where Present Truth is preached. Thus says the Lord: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” [Matthew 11:28] God loves you, irrespective of race, status or gender. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. -

BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY
BEHOLD, I COME QUICKLY
“And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be”
[Revelation 22:12]1. What do you see?
Some see demons everywhere; others see every lump as cancer. The Lord Jesus Christ said: “…Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?” [John11:40] Every man is responsible for his faith. Your faith determines what and how you see. Those who trust in themselves see through a narrow lens that start and end in their ambitions. If you live and look through mirror of religion, you will see the world through blurred sectional doctrines. Scientists live and work by observation, they see through tunnels of natural laws. They see a world at risk of climate change and self destruction. Politicians see through broad lenses coloured by public opinion. Some see global peace, others perceive imminent thermonuclear annihilation. I will tell you my faith, I believe that: “…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” [1 Timothy 3:16] What do I see? I see: “…the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven” [Mark 14:62] What I believe and see swallows every fear and distress of living in a dying world.2. Jesus is coming
The Bible says: “…there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 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] So much has been said and written about the coming of the Lord and many are disillusioned. The case is worsened by those who calculate and forecast the day and hour of His appearance to make gain and fame. This is the generation of scoffers and religious rabble rousers. I assure you, Jesus Christ is coming and God is not slack in His promise of His Coming; “…but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” [2 Peter 3:9] I tell you, the “longsuffering” of God is fast running out as the gospel of Jesus Christ is preached in all nations for the final round, as it is written: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” [Matthew 24:14]3. No man knows the day or hour.
Thus says the Lord: “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] Let no man deceive you with ancient scripts or forecasts purporting to suggest or confirm the day or hour of His Coming. No man knows the day or hour. What we know, by faith in Holy Scriptures, are signs of the season of His Coming and I will take a few. One, a prophecy more than 2,000 years old says: “…and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled” [Luke 21:24] The “trodden down” began in AD 70 until Jerusalem was restored to Israel in 1967. Two, Jesus foretold collapse of every formula of governance and; “…distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring” [Luke 21:25] Never has the world experienced such distress and confusion spread across the globe amidst uncanny revolt of nature, which some call climate change. Three, the Lord spoke of global terror and; “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] No doubt, terror rides unchecked through all nations as powers of heaven are shaken and demons of hell unleashed for the final time. The season of His Coming is here, “when these things begin to come to pass”.4. Jesus is coming with His reward,
Thus says the Lord: “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be” [Revelation 22:12] The Lord Jesus Christ is coming with reward of faith for every man according to his work. There is no reward until Christ appears to receive His Saints. Do not allow any man to manipulate you to work for or intimidate you with supposed reward as from the Lord. Withdraw from those who teach and affirm that material blessing is proof and reward of right-standing with God, of whom the Bible says: “…men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out” [1 Timothy 6:5-7] Beloved, God has blessed every man born into this world and you are blessed, as it is written: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it…” [Genesis 1:28] Let no man deceive you; blessing is not reward; it is God’s enablement to fulfil His purpose. Therefore, be not overcome or weakened by your abundance or poverty. Rather, hold fast to the promise of His Coming. Your reward is at hand.5. Do not be troubled, God loves you.
The Bible says: “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” [John14:1-3] One thing is certain, this world is doomed and dying. God has a better heritage for you on the other side, where there are no natural calamities, social disorder, economic downturn, wars, terror and the like. This world and her troubles; “…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 up” [2 Peter 3:10] There is a new earth and new heaven waiting to come down, as it is written: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea” [Revelation 21:1] Book and confirm your ticket today and be ready to fly at the appearance of Jesus Christ. Do so right away by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
