FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE

FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” [Genesis 1:28]

1. Almighty God is Jehovah Sabbaoth
Jehovah Sabbaoth means the mighty man of war. The Bible says: “And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel” [Joshua 10:14] God fought for Israel and she prevailed over her adversaries. God made man in His own image, blessed him and gave him clear mandate to subdue the earth [Genesis 1:28] To subdue means “to bring somebody, thing or things under forcible control”. To subdue means “to contend and overcome”. To subdue means to “fight and prevail. Every bona fide child of God is a fighter and conqueror. Our weapons are not tongue, fists, guns or nuclear bombs. The Bible says: “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;“ [2 Corinthians 10:4]

2. Satan is the adversary.
The Bible says: “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not;…And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” [Revelation 12:7-9] In the deep recesses of time, Satan rebelled against God, he lost and was exiled to this world. The Dragon turned the earth and her unseen regions to a fortified fortress and evil empire. The old serpent crowned himself god over the earth. He dispenses favour to those who worship before him and is a ruthless foe to those who deny him. He went against the Lord Jesus Christ, boasting and offering riches and glory of kingdoms of this world, if Jesus would bow before him, as it is written: “…All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve” [Matthew 4:8-10] The Lord rejected his offer and battle was joined.

3. The battle is joined.
Satan boasted before the LORD, as it is written: “And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life” [Job 2:4] Satan already lost his “life” and place in God’s presence. His objective of his warfare is to drag you down to the pit, forever separated from God. The battle is for your life, not your parish, tribe, nation, business, etc. Your life is not your heart beat. It is the image, likeness and inheritance of God in you [Genesis 1:26 28] Satanic warfare leaves no room for umpires or spectators. The shrill cry of the new-born baby is not of pain but the war cry of a soldier going to battle. As we grow older, the choices we make determine outcome of the battle. I am a fighter; I fight for my life to be reunited with God. I fight to stake my claim to eternal life. If you are not fighting, you are doomed to; “…everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” [Matthew 25:41] If your battle is not for your life, you are a damned loser, as it is written: “… what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” [Mark 8:36]

4. Fight the good fight.
The Bible says: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” [Ephesians 6:12] The battle for your life is not against family members, business rivals, neighbours, etc. Those who spend their lives fighting for material riches, power, fame, science, nature, and the like, are ignorant and short-sighted. It is written: “…Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth” [Luke 12:15] Your life is the measure of likeness of God in you, not your bank statement. Fighting for your life is the good fight. I encourage you to fight the good fight, as it is written: “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,…” [1 Timothy 6:12] Fight, because no man may fight for you. Fight to “…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” [Philippians 2:12]

5. Put on the armour of God.
The Bible says: “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” [Ephesians 6:11] Satan is not man, he is spirit. His battle plan is to get you to fight him on his own terms. The Devil wants you to fight him with flesh and earthly weapons. God is Spirit and any man that will put on His armour must be in spirit. Your preparation for battle begins with shedding fleshly muscles for spiritual biceps. This requires that the natural man/old man give way for the spiritual man/new man. It is written: “That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness” [Ephesians 4:22-24] The new man is born when you turn your life over to Jesus Christ [John 3:1-5] The new man is born of God and equipped to overcome the world including Satan and his hosts, as it is written: “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” [1 John 5:4]

6. You must fight to win.
The Bible says: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” [Matthew 28:18] The power and munitions you need to fight and win are in Christ. Thus says the Lord: …in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” [John 16:33] Jesus not only has all power, He has overcome the world. His purpose on earth is to lead you to victory over the Devil, as it is written: “…For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” [1 John 3:8] If you are a fighter, hold on, victory is certain. If you are ready to jump in the fight, the template for victory is Jesus Christ. The first step is to confess and repent of your sins and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. The second step is to grow in the: “…knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ” [Ephesians 4:13] The battle is won as you grow in the Lord. Beloved, Christ in you is victory and hope of glory [Colossians 1:27]

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.

GOLDEN CALF MINISTRY

GOLDEN CALF MINISTRY

“And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him” [Exodus 32:1]

1. God raises prophets in every age.
They are His mouthpiece and the arrowheads of His prophetic agenda. They stand in for Christ in their generations, as type and representation of His salvation. There were also false prophets in every age, 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] False prophets are popular among the people, they deceive with sweet words, preaching that gain is godliness [1 Timothy 6:5] Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy, as it is written: “…the testimony of Christ is the spirit of prophecy” [Revelation 19:10b] If any claims to be a prophet and does not testify of Christ and of His prophetic agenda, he is on his own.

2. Moses was a prophet.
He stood in the place of Christ as savior of his people. The stories of Moses, plagues and the crossing of Red Sea are true and fulfilled the promise of God to Abraham. More than 400 years before the event, God said to Abraham: “… Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance” [Genesis 15:13-14] At the appointed time, God brought Moses out of the wilderness to fulfil His purpose. God said to Moses: “Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt” [Exodus 3:10]

3. Israel worshipped God in the wilderness.
He led them in the way, as it is written: “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] Though they were in Church and had unrestrained access to God’s goodness, the people were restless. As soon as Moses was out of sight, on the mountain with God, sons of Belial among them came to Aaron. It is written: “And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him” [Exodus 32:1]

4. Israel danced and worshipped before the golden calf.
They chanted the same songs they sang to God, to their idol. They wore the same clothes and danced even more vigorously than they did to God. God also sent prophets to this generation, but as soon as they were gone to be with the Lord the people turned to the golden calf. They read the same Bible, sang the same songs and called the name of Jesus to their golden calves. This Church is polluted by plethora of golden calf ministries, pushing claims to legitimacy in prosperity of fools. Thus says the Lord: “Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked” [Revelation 3:17]

5. Every fire leaves ashes.
Every prophet is a flaming torch from the Lord, as it is written: “And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire” [Hebrews 1:7] When the prophet is done and gone, two things happen. One, a little flock gather and stay true to revealed Truth [Luke 12:32] Two, a reckless band assemble around ashes of the fire and set it ablaze with strange fire to fabricate a golden calf. The ashes of the flames of fire that fell on the Apostles were gathered in Rome to raise the first denomination. After the Reformation and subsequent revivals, many groups arose from the debris to forms assortment of religious organizations. After the Azousa revival, apostate Pentecostals took the pieces and colonized the earth with golden calf ministry. The legacy of power and spiritual gifts that broke forth at Azousa and elsewhere were adulterated with heresies and doctrines of devils to raise a lukewarm generation addicted to prosperity of fools [Revelation 3:15-16]

6. The golden calf ministry is a snare.
It is a franchise from hell sold to those who want to serve their own gods. Beloved, Jesus Christ is coming soon. Examine yourself in the light of the Bible and not denominational doctrine or what you think is right. Line up your life with Jesus Christ not any man. This world is set for judgment. The Lord Jesus Christ is calling you out of the golden calf ministry to escape looming damnation. Thus says the Lord: “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” [Revelation 18:4] I cannot tell where you belong, but I plead with you to the needful, as it is written: “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] The choice is yours. If you are not born again, accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord and Saviour. If you are, come out of the golden calf ministry today.

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.

MYSTERIES OF CREATION Part One

1. Every man is known by what he knows. If any man does not know how he got here and where he is going, he is lost. Man is finite, mortal and crafted in flesh and blood. God is Spirit, immortal and invisible. Creator and creature are worlds apart, as the Bible says: “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” [Isaiah 55:9] Man relates by communication, God interacts by revelation. If all a man knows is by natural communication, he is not better than a beast. The Bible is the most widely read book and worst understood because it is inspired by God and a MYSTERY to those who read it without revelation. They are confounded by seeming contradictions and never find God. For example, the Bible says: “In the BEGINNING created the heaven and the earth” [Genesis 1:1] And in John is written: “In the BEGINNING was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD” [John 1:1] Two BEGINNINGS and one God may sound confusing to some but is not. Genesis proclaimed the onset of time and creation of the present world. John probed endless invisible worlds and assorted creations to unveil pristine revelation of God in the WORD. The former declared birth of time, the latter confirmed endless existence of God in the WORD.

2. The earth is as old as time and gone through many cycles of life, as home to diverse creatures including other species of humanoids, spiritual personalities, animals, plants, etc. What those in search of the “MISSING LINK” classify as progenitors of man, are creatures whose time elapsed before the CREATION of Adam. Though not the first on earth, MAN is by divine providence the LAST, HEIR and possessor of the earth, as it is written: “The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men” [Psalms 115:16] At the beginning of this cycle, “…the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep…” [Genesis 1:2] The story began in heaven from where the; “…great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” [Revelation 12:9] The invaders demonized inhabitants of the earth. Catastrophic consequences altered the orbit of the earth and the planet was enveloped in darkness, cut off from sun and moon. About 6,000 years ago, God restored our world in orbit round the sun and made man in His own image to repopulate the earth, as the Bible says: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth…” [Genesis 1:26]

3. God made man in His own image, but God is not FLESH, as the Bible says: “GOD IS A SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” [John 4:24] The first model of man was SPIRIT, in the  IMAGE of God, 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] Take note, God created “HIM”; “MALE and FEMALE”. The first model of HIM had in him both male and female. The man was not bisexual or hermaphrodite but a spirit personality with capacity for both male and female genders. At the next stage of DIVINE AGENDA, God required a physical man to till the earth [Genesis 2:5-6] This was not the job for spirits, and God clothed HIM with the DUST OF THE EARTH, as the Bible says: “And the LORD God FORMED MAN OF THE DUST OF THE GROUND, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL” [Genesis 2:7] The new man, furnished with SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY was called ADAM. At the appointed time, God separated the FEMALE from HIM, as it is written: “…LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the RIB, WHICH GOD HAD TAKEN FROM MAN, MADE HE WOMAN …” [Genesis 2:21-22]

4. God set the FIRMAMENT in place to separate TIME and TIMELESS DIMENSIONS, as it is written: And God said, Let there be a FIRMAMENT in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters” [Genesis 1:6] The firmament was set on “SECOND DAY of creation”, but sun, moon and stars were revealed on the “FOURTH DAY”, as the Bible says: “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years” [Genesis 1:14] The FIRMAMENT came before and is far beyond sun, moon and stars. FIRMAMENT is not earth’s atmosphere or space as we count it, but the spiritual curtain that separates TIME and ETERNITY. On this side is the drama of light and darkness and on the other side, perpetual light. Earth is subjugated under dichotomy of good and evil. The other side is sealed in perfection. The FIRMAMENT cages man and Satan in time,  in duel of LIFE against DEATH. Satan is spirit and man is flesh, without Jesus Christ to restore us to our original spiritual status, there is no hope of getting out of the duel ALIVE.

5. God was manifest in Jesus Christ to restore us to PRIME MODEL, as the Bible says: “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” [1 Timothy 3:16] Without mincing words, Jesus Christ is GOD MANIFEST IN FLESH AND BLOOD, the; “…brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person…” [Hebrews 1:3] If any man receives Jesus Christ as God MANIFEST in man, he is BORN AGAIN, not of flesh and blood but of Spirit, as it is written: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” [John 3:6] Those who are born of the Spirit are “SPIRIT”, in the IMAGE of God. We are no longer subject to subjugated to TIME and limitations of the FIRMAMENT, “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” [I John 5:4] Brethren, the battle has been long and the end of TIME is at hand. Very soon, the FIRMAMENT shall be shattered at the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ, “…with the trump of God: and 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] Those who miss the TRANSLATION shall be left to face unprecedented TRIBULATION. I am sure you do not wish to be left behind, seek the Lord now, while He may yet be found and He will redeem your soul, amen.

MYSTERIES OF CREATION Part Two

1. In Part One of this series, we discussed visible and invisible WORLDS, FIRMAMENT, TIME and triple NATURE of man. In Part Two, we focus on Garden of EDEN, SIN, DEATH, the SEED of Adam and SEED of the serpent. The Bible says: “And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed” [Genesis 2:8] Two trees stood out in the Garden, namely: “…the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil” [Genesis 2:9] When the fruits were ready, Satan showed up, behold it was the TREE OF LIFE transplanted from heaven, of which the Bible says: “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the TREE OF LIFE, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” [Revelation 22:2] Satan, knew his access to the FRUIT of the TREE was revoked and was bent doing same to man. God, knowing his intention, God gave His WORD as armour against the adversary and warned Adam, saying: “But of the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” [Genesis 2:17] The only shield that could stop the fiery darts of the adversary was the WORD, but there was  loop hole; man’s WILL.

2. Eve, Adam’s wife, her weakness when she put the WORD of God to debate, saying: “…We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die” [Genesis 3:2-3] Satan “is a liar, and the father of it” [John 8:44] When he said to Eve, “YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE”, he seduced her with LIE and “IMPREGNATED” her with SIN. Sin is more than an act; it is the life form of Satan typified by rebellion against God. Sin is the image and true representation of Satan. In man, sin is a state of mind not necessarily an act, as it is written:: “…whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart” [Matthew 5:28] As soon as Eve stepped out of the Word of God, the account of sin was opened on earth. SIN made Eve eat the fruit not the other way, and . By deception, the seed of satanic life form was embedded in man through her. But Adam was not deceived, as the Bible says: “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression” [1Timothy 2:14] Henceforth, there were two nations on earth. One, born of the SEED of Adam, “… which was the son of God” [Luke 3:38] Two, the nation of Satan, born in SIN embedded in the woman.

3. Another name for Satan is DEATH and his end is DESTRUCTION in the lake of fire, as it is written: “And the DEVIL THAT DECEIVED THEM WAS CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever” [Revelation 20:10] Let me put it this way, Satan, SIN and DEATH are the same thing in different forms. SIN is the SEED, DEATH is FRUIT and Satan is the TREE. With the EVIL SEED passed to man through Eve, everyone born of woman is condemned to DEATH. Our enemy hides under the mask of DEATH to hunt and haunt men into cruel bondage. All praise to God, manifest in Jesus Christ, who; “…also himself likewise took part of the same; that THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM THAT HAD THE POWER OF DEATH, THAT IS, THE DEVIL; deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” [Hebrews 2:14-15] In Jesus Christ we are delivered from SIN and DEATH to EVERLASTING LIFE through FAITH in His DEATH as atonement for our SIN, as it is written: “…The just shall live by faith” [Romans 1:17] Those who live in perpetual FEAR OF DEATH confirm that they are slaves to SIN. I assure you, if any man is in Christ, he has passed from DEATH to EVERLASTING LIFE. Thus, says the Lord: “… I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live” [John 11:25]

4. Satan sowed his SEED in Eden, using the SERPENT. This SERPENT was not a snake as some imagine, but one of humanoid creatures mentioned in Part One of this series. It is evident the creature was upright and not a creepy crawly until God cursed it, as it is written: “And the LORD God said unto the SERPENT, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; UPON THY BELLY SHALT THOU GO, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life” [Genesis 3:14] The tag, SERPENT, was derived from the spirit behind the mask, that is, Satan who is also known as DRAGON, SERPENT and DEVIL [Revelation 12:9] Listen carefully, God said to the SERPENT: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between THY SEED seed and HER SEED; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” [Genesis 3:15] So then, we have THY SEED, that is, the SERPENT’S SEED and HER SEED,  that is, the SEED that shall come out of the woman.  Before we go further, let me remind you, the female gender has no SEED but man. In any case, “…ADAM KNEW HIS EVE HIS WIFESHE ; and SHE CONCEIVED, AND BARE CAIN, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And SHE AGAIN BARE HIS BROTHER ABEL…” [Genesis 4:1-2] Please take note, the Bible recorded one “KNOWING”, ONE CONCEPTION, but TWO BOYS, who were not twins! Scripture confirms Cain as the image and likeness of the SERPENT, and Abel, the son of Adam.  Cain was the SERPENT’S SEED, “… WHO WAS OF THAT WICKED ONE, and slew his brother…” [1 John 3:12] After Cain killed Abel, God replenished the stock of Adam with a son after his own LIKENESS, as it is written: “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and BEGAT A SON IN HIS OWN LIKENESS, AFTER HIS IMAGE”  [Genesis 5:3]

5. The present world is a battle field between the sons of God and SERPENT’S SEED. It is the nature of SERPENT’S SEED, in every age, to persecute and kill the sons of God as Cain did. At the appointed time, prophecy was fulfilled, as it is written: “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and HER SEED it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel” [Genesis 3:15] As aforesaid, the woman has no SEED in her, but in this case conceived of the WORD and Jesus Christ was born, as it is written: “And the WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us…” [John 1:14] Jesus Christ was in every sense a man and being born of woman and God, for “… in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” [Colossians 2:9] Those who receive Jesus Christ in fulfilment of prophecy, as God manifest in flesh are BORN OF GOD and “… whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” [1John 5:4] I warn those who care to listen, the Lord shall return very soon and shall send His angels to “… sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth” [Matthew 13:49-50] I encourage you to receive Jesus Christ today as your LORD and Saviout and be BORN OF GOD, amen.
