CAN CHILDREN OF GOD COHABIT?
Cohabitation is an arrangement where a man and woman who are not married live together in an intimate relationship, particularly an emotionally and/or sexually intimate one, on a long-term or permanent basis; living together in a sexual relationship without being married.

People cohabit for several reasons: some because of financial difficulty to do wedding, so they decide to live together until they can gather enough money for wedding; some cohabit to test and try their relationship, and see if they can move forward to proper marriage; some cohabit because either parents do not support the relationship, so they decide to live together until both parents support. Others cohabit because of relocation, and so they stay together for the time other partner gets his or her apartment or till they marry. Some also cohabit, not because of marital relationship, but to assist the other opposite sex who needs accommodation.

The Bible truth is that, cohabitation is a sin wherever you are or whatever reasons you have, because:

IT'S SEXUAL IMMORALITY

Having sex with a partner before a legal and official wedding is a sin of sexual immorality of fornication, and no fornicator is a child of God or will enter heaven. 1 Corinthians 5:11, "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator.....with such an one no not to eat." Fornicators dishonor their bodies.

IT'S DISHONORING GOD'S NAME

"What if we live together and we don't have sex?" Even when there is no sex between both people, though rare, it is dishonoring God's name; they are defiling God's name before people. As children of God, we are not only to live with pure conscience before God, but also before men. "And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offense toward God, and toward men." Acts 24:16. When you and an opposite sex are living together, you are passing wrong message to people and living in conscience full of offense towards people.

IT'S AN ACT OF DISORDER

God is not an Author of confusion, but He is an Author of an orderly marriage, where wedding takes place before marriage; having marriage before wedding is a serious act of disorder of high grade. We cannot disorder God's orderly arranged institution and procedure, and expect God's approval.

SO WHAT IF OUR PARENTS AND PASTORS ARE AWARE AND SUPPORT US? Even if your parents are aware and your pastors support, it does not overrule the truth that premarital sex is a sin. When your parents support your cohabitation, then you are not sinning against your parents, since they support, but you are only sinning against God; and when your pastors support you cohabiting, you are not sinning against your pastors then, but against your own soul. Fornication cannot turn to familiarity because of the support of parents or pastors, it only means the pastors are immoral and the parents are mis-supporting.

AND WHAT IF WE ALREADY HAVE CHILDREN? Having children do not make a marriage, what makes a marriage is a legal wedding between a man and a woman. Having children in cohabitation is simply bringing forth children on spoiled and sinful foundation.

If a man and woman are living together as married without legal wedding, people may see them as married couple, family and friends may address them as married, but to God, they are sinful partners living together. There was a story of a woman cohabiting with a man in the Bible, what did Jesus tell her? "Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.” John 4:17, 18. The woman had had 5 husbands recognized by Jesus as "husbands" because they did what it took to be husbands, but the man she was living with at that moment was only recognized by Jesus as "the one", not as husband. No matter how many years you live together, no matter how many kids you have together, you are not recognized by God as husband and wife.

REPENT, RESTITUTE!
If you are living with an opposite sex partner or friend, you need to repent by realizing it to be sin, and asking God to forgive you. Genuine experience of salvation is very important. Then you do the right thing immediately - part away or do the right things. If you already have children and concluded to marry, you may not need to do elaborate wedding, just inform your parents, go to the government to legalize it and pay bride price as demanded by your culture immediately. You should do this without delay or detach from each other until this is done. It is better to separate, surrender your life to Jesus and pray for God's guidance, because the person may not even be God's will for you to marry, since you are now a child of God.

There is eternal condemnation for those who live in cohabitation and die in such condition, and if rapture takes place in such condition, there is no way such people can make the rapture to meet the Lord, because it is living in immorality, and no immoral person will enter heaven or make the rapture.

Romans 12:1, 2,
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

HIDDEN DEFILEMENT (3)
This is Part 3 of the study, you can check out page below for Part 1 and 2, or our website.

PART 3: WORLDLY MUSIC
Psalm 106:39, "Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds."

Every worldly music is inspired by Satan to subtly defile and destroy many Christians after their salvation. Any music apart from Christian music is defiling. There is a satanic demon in charge of worldly music; any music which does not glorify God and promote godliness and decency is of the devil. If you claim to be a Christian, regenerated and redeemed, washed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, how will you keep all those worldly music in your phone, computer or in your house?

The hidden truth is that every Christian who plays, sings, listen, like or dance to worldly music is trapped by the demon of worldly music. This is may sound strange, but it's an untold truth, revealed by the Holy Spirit to correct us, and if we take to correction, we will not be condemned with the world. How will you surrender your life to Jesus, serve God with all your life and then allow worldly music to defile you? How will you deny yourself of many things because of your faith in Christ and later go to hell because of worldly music? That is the reason Jesus is saying most believers cannot make rapture if it happens now, few thousands out of million of DEVOTED CHRISTIANS are said to be ready and spotless to make rapture if it happens now. Many of those Christians who will miss rapture may not involve in serious sin or worldliness, but little and hidden defilement which we do not count are serious obstacle.

Here is a TESTIMONY BY A REVELATION
1, "Let me tell you that Michael Jackson is in hell. The Lord showed him to me after Michael died. He let me see Michael Jackson tormented in flames"He let me see Michael Jackson tormented in flames. I cried to Jesus, "Why?" It wasn't easy to see how this man was being tormented and how he would scream. Anyone who listens to Michael Jackson's songs or sings them or who is a fan of Michael Jackson, I warn you that Satan is trapping you in his web so that you will end up in hell. Right now, renounce it in the name of Jesus! Jesus wants to set you free, so that you will not be lost."

2, "Here is a message from another American singer-songwriter, SELENA "Please, I beg you, go tell people about this, please speak out and do not be silent; go and tell them not to come to this place; go and tell them not to listen to my songs, nor sing my songs." She said, "Because every time people sing and listen to my songs, I am tormented even more, the person who does this, who sings and listens to my songs, is walking to this place. Please, go tell them not to come here; go tell them that hell is real!"

- Angelica Zambrano

Again, any music apart from Christian music is worldly music, though some music are secular, neutral and decent, but they are muddled up and so it is better for a child of God to stay with only Christian music. Making such worldly music as your ringing tone or caller tune has automatically enlisted you as member of the kingdom of darkness. You may find it hard to believe. Modern Churches and pastors may not see anything wrong with those musicians and their music, they may even invite them to play in their churches, but only the few will be wise at this end time, but the rest will wake up after the rapture, but too late.

Apart from singing, playing, deliberate listening, dancing to, using for caller tune or ringing tone, many are also entrapped by liking such musicians on Facebook. If you "like" worldly musicians on Facebook, your vote for worldly music has been registered in hell with your name listed as the supporter of evil.

Repentance is the only means of escape. Ask God to forgive you and cleanse you from all the defilement of worldly music; then destroy such CD, VCD, etc which you have, delete them from your phone, and dislike them in your Facebook profile. Delay can be dangerous, so do it now as you surrender all to Jesus.

HIDDEN DEFILEMENT (2)
This study started from Part 1, which talked about the DEFILING CLOTHING, if you didn't get it, you can check it from our facebook page or website

Part 2: CHILDREN ANIMATED CARTOON
Psalm 106:39, "Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds."

As the devil has device several means to defile Christians who are determined to make heaven, in order to tarnish their white garments without their knowledge, he is using little, little strategies which we do not count or take note of, and this will hinder many from making heaven. As the Spirit of God opens our eyes, we should take prompt correction and amend our ways. Here is what our Lord Jesus Christ revealed to a sister, Angelica Zambrano, to expose Satan's devices to defile children, and to help us to correct ourselves.

SECRET REVEALED: "....As we left that place and He (Jesus) told me, "I want to show you something else... There are also children in this place." And I replied, “Children in this place, Lord? Why are there children here? Jesus replied, "Daughter, it's true, of such is the kingdom of Heaven, but that child must come to Me, for he who comes to Me I will not throw out."(John 6:37). Instantly, the Lord showed me an eight year old boy being tormented in fire. The boy cried, "Lord have mercy of me, take me out of this place, I don't want to be here!" He kept crying and screaming. I saw demons around this boy, that resembled cartoon figures. There was Dragon Balls Z, Ben 10, Pokémon, Doral, etc. "Lord, why is this boy here?" Jesus showed me a large screen of this boy's life. I saw how he would spend all of his time in front of the TV, watching these cartoons.

Jesus said, "Daughter, these animated cartoons, those movies, those soap operas that are seen daily on TV are satan's instruments to destroy humanity...Look, Daughter how this came to be."Daughter, go and tell parents to instruct their child as is written in My Word. (Proverbs 22:6)" The Word of God is real, it tells us to correct a child with the rod, but not every moment, only when the child has been disobedient to his parents. (Proverbs 22:15)"

The Lord told me something that is very sad and very painful. He said, "Daughter, there are many children in this place because of animated cartoons, because of rebellion." I asked Him, "Lord, why are animated cartoons to blame for this?" And He explained, "Because they are demons that carry rebellion, disobedience, bitterness and hatred to children; and other demons enter these children, so that they do not do good things, but do that which is bad: whatever children see on TV, they want to do in reality." Hell exists, hell is real, and even children must decide with whom they will go. I said, “Lord, tell me, why are there children in this place?" And Jesus answered, "Once children have knowledge that there is a heaven and a hell, then they have a place to choose."

If you allow your children to watch any cartoon apart from Bible stories, you are simply exposing them to demons; if you also involve in watching cartoon other than Christian types which will help you in God's way, you are digging pit of hell for yourself. Repentance is a matter of urgency here. You should explain to your children about this, and destroy all the animated DVDs, delete the channel in your TV cable; if you have any item like bag, bottle, ball, whatever, which has the pictures of Ben 10 or any animated figure, you need to destroy them so as to get yourself and your child rid of satanic pictures.

It is important for us to lead our children to Jesus Christ as soon they are about 7 years old; you should explain salvation in Jesus Christ to them, and tell them how to be saved by repentance, confession of sins and living a new life in Jesus. You also need to help them to pray and read their Bible every day, and get them Bible materials, movies and music that will help their spiritual lives.

HIDDEN DEFILEMENT! (1)
By the grace of God, we shall discuss about some common hidden or unknown defilement in the lives of many Christians today. This is personal, and not collectively on by church; Christian race is personal is a personal race. The articles will be posted from Monday to Friday.

Part 1: DEFILING CLOTHING
"Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel." Zechariah 3:3

Devil has strategized several means to defile Christians and disqualify them from making the rapture and heaven at last, and so many Christians are falling into these traps. One of the defiling traps is defiling dress by many acclaimed Christian women, including ministers.

Defiling Dress:
(1) Uncovered - Any top that shows the trace of your breasts. As a woman, if you wear blouse, shirt, or top, it may be a local made or foreign made, it may be traditional style or Western style; if the dress does not cover your chest properly, that is, if a little trace of your beasts is shown when you bend down, it means you are gorgeously wearing defiling clothing. You don't need to wear a turtledove top, but you must wear clothing that properly and perfectly cover your breasts even when you bend down.

Majority of Christian women wear top that stylishly show their breasts, because Satan has successfully polluted fashion world and the minds of the tailors so that about 90% of women's tops are defiled. Today, those dresses do not seem wrong again, because every Christian woman wears it, including pastors wives. But the question you should ask yourself is: why will you wear clothes that will show your beasts as a woman? What is your motive? Showing your private part to the world is not only a sin but a serious defilement. Any top that cannot cover your chest properly if you bend down is a defiled clothes, and those who wear it are defiled, unknowingly.

(2) Tight. Any dress you wear that is tight on you, either top or skirt, which shows the shape of your body is a defiling clothes. Showing the anatomy of your body is a modern way of giving people the idea of your unclothedness, and it is not part of holiness in Christ. Those who wear tight clothing are unwittingly entrapped by Satan. Many will later discover this after they die or after the rapture, but it will be too late. You need not to wear a baggy dress, but it must be free on you without any inconveniences, or conveying your body shape.

(3) Transparent. Wearing a dress that is transparent is not only sinful but naturally stupid. The biblical and philosophic purpose of wearing clothes is to cover unclothedness, so if after you wear clothes, your body is still revealed, it is nothing but spiritual and moral indecency, and defilement to the soul. A Christian woman who wears clothes in a way that her underwear is revealed is not a good example of a godly and chaste woman.

(4) Short. Wearing armless top, mini skirts or gowns which do not properly cover you kneels are defilement to your Spiritual life.

Urgent repentance is very important, and then to do away which such defiled dresses and clothing immediately. You may be a matured, or old Christian woman, you may be a minister or women leader; like Joshua, he was a leader but he unknowingly wearing filthy garment. This ministry has the mandate to reveal the truth as guided through the Word of God and the Spirit of God; it is your responsibility to accept or reject it, but I pray for everyone reading this that the Lord will open your spiritual eyes and give you understanding for the truth and to be fruitful there in.

John 8:32, "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

WHY MASTURBATION IS A SIN.....Please read this!

To start with, masturbation is self service by which one derives pleasure; it's a sexual stimulation of the genitals, usually to the point of orgasm. So the question: Is it sinful for a child of God to masturbate? The sincere and simple answer is that, it is biblically sinful based on these three points:

(1) IT'S DISHONORING YOUR BODY.
Pastors and preachers who claim that masturbation is not a sin are the same people who say a godly woman can dress any how; their base is that God's is not concern about what you do with your body, watch out! Such people believe God is only after your mind or your heart, and your body is none of His business, you can dress half naked as a woman, you can wear earrings as a man, perm your hair like woman; you can smoke, drink, it is your body, normal habit, and none of God's business.

Such teaching of your body is not God's business is satanic and unbiblical. God is interested in your body as well as your soul, God wants you to keep your heart holy as well as your body. Romans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service." Your heart is the throne of God, and your body is His temple; when you defile God's temple - your body - with masturbation or any uncleanness, you expose yourself to God's destruction.

1 Corinthians 3: 16, 17, "Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are."

(2) IT'S SEXUAL IMMORALITY
Any action by which one derives sexual pleasure - orgasm - apart from, between husband and wife, such is sexual immorality. There are several sexual immoralities like fornication, adultery, masturbation, homosexuality, etc. Those who involve in masturbation before or after marriage are immoral people before God. 1 Corinthians 5:9, "I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people."


(3) IT'S A SECRET SIN
Any habit you like to do in secret which you don't want people to have the knowledge that you are doing is a secret sin, and masturbation is part of it, it's something usually done in secret, after you dedicate your life to Jesus. You can't have fellow children of God in the same room and you begin to masturbate. You can sleep or snore while people are around, but you can't masturbate while good and godly people are around.

NO PRETENSE!
You can't finish masturbate and you feel free in God's presence, your conscience will tell you something is wrong, that you are defiled. If you now feel no quilt in masturbating, it means you have silenced or killed your conscience, since the Spirit of God will not continue to strive with a man, but you know it wasn't like that at the initial.

THREE WAYS OUT!
Masturbation is satanic anchor by which he uses to grip souls under his bondage. The solution is not to say it is not a sin, the solution is not marriage or attractive spouse, that never solve problem of lust.

The solutions are (i) You repent and rededicate your life to Jesus by admitting it as a sin against God and ready to forsake it. (ii) You watch out against it, you detach yourself from immoral materials, movies, music and thoughts. Resist the devil when he brings the pressure on you to masturbate; just hold the feeling and resist the devil, he can't stay long, he will flee. It will come over you as if you can't resist it, but that is not true, you just hold it, don't torch and don't think about. It is a sin and you don't want to bring yourself under the bondage anymore. The more you resist and overcome the feeling, the more you are strong, keep watching, he can go and come after some months, don't relax but resist. (iii) Pray about it. You must take it to God in your daily prayer to conquer the sinful notion and nature; pray for grace and strength to resist, to discipline your body and keep it under the Spirit of God.

1 Corinthians 9:27
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.

NOTE: If you claim masturbation is not a sin as sexual immorality, why do you masturbate? What is the motive, purpose of masturbating? Is it not to derive sexual pleasure? Any sexual pleasure you get apart from what is biblically obtainable in marriage is a sin. Such sexual pleasure people get in masturbation is alike in pornography, and can you also say pornography is not a sin because it is not a raping? And also, while masturbating, what goes on in your mind, what do you think about? Immoral thoughts that defiles heart, isn't it?

Another point that needs to be made cleared here is that, this message is for people who are ready for new life in Jesus for conversion and children of God who have been redeemed and regenerated for correction; the message is not for the unsaved or backsliders who are not ready for God's mercy and forgiveness. I do see people reading this message and feel condemned and then argue to silent their conscience. This message is not to condemn but to correct children of God. If you have not totally surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, if you don't understand what holiness and righteousness is all about, and if you have backslided, what you need to do is not only to stop masturbating, but to first surrender your life to Jesus, repent from all your sin, including masturbation - but not only masturbation - and confess them. Then you start a new life in Jesus Christ.

BIBLE TEACHING ON GODLY DRESS
This study clarifies what and how godly woman should dress; the biblical perspectives of godly dress.

As people who have been enlightened by the light of the true Word of God, we will teach on this. There are several wrong perceptions and teachings about Christian clothing and dressing, and it is better to mention some of them before we share the 4 Biblical Perspectives of Godly Dressing.

AVOIDING?
Avoiding of Bible standard on godly dress.
Some Pastors and churches say they don’t have to emphasize on Christian dress or preach against worldly dressing because Jesus didn’t mention anything about it. This assumption and conclusion is erroneous and a deceptive excuse, because Jesus didn’t mention everything during His earthly ministration because His disciples could not understand everything then so He committed the disciples unto the Holy Spirit who would teach them “all things”. So it was the same Spirit of Jesus Christ that inspired the Apostles who unequivocally taught against worldliness and on how Christians should dress. Romans 12:1, 1 Timothy 2:9, 10, 1 Peter 3:3, 4.

ANYTHING GOES?
While some preachers and churches are trying to avoid the teaching of godly dress style, some others say anything goes. These type of preachers from America to Africa say your outward look and dressing does not matter to God. They say it is your heart that matters to God not your body or what you wear. This is a pure satanic, destructive doctrine. The Bible states it clear from Old Testament that God is not delighted in His children exposing their unclothedness. From Genesis, God made the first clothing for humanity after they fell into sin and were sent out of the Garden of Eden. The LORD God made the clothing from animal skin for a purpose - to cover their unclothedness. So from here the primary purpose of clothing, of dressing, is to cover our unclothedness. All senses will agree with this, spiritually, physically, philosophically and mentally; that we wear clothes primarily to cover our unclothedness. So when a person wears clothes and the unclothedness is not properly covered, the person is not just being fashionable but working against God’s natural purpose; that is ungodly and out of sense. If being half naked is the latest fashions, then animals are more fashionable, and humanity has descended below animal.

When a Christian who has the knowledge of the Almighty God claims that she is dressing not to cover her body but for fashion, that Christian is both spiritually and naturally insane. The Bible admonishes us in Romans 12:1, to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. What does that means? God is interested in how you present your body as well your heart. God will not accept half naked presented body. How you present your body is more important to God than the sacrifice you present. He told Moses that the children of Israel should be careful so that their unclothedness is not exposed, because that might attracts God’s wrath. Exodus 20:26

Any pastor or church that ignores to teach you biblical ways and manner of proper and godly dressing is an ungodly pastor and church . The deception of the devil to lure many women and even men to hell through worldly dressings are now accepted in many churches, they don't see anything wrong with how you dress, it doesn't matter how you present your body. The kind of wears women can’t wear to night parties about 20 years ago because of natural sense of decency are what our Christian women are wearing to churches today with confidence. The same women are pastor's wives, deaconesses and workers; the same women can speak in tongues of angels and men, they can pray with thunders. Such women are operating under the spirit of Jezebel. At the same time you see Christian brothers doing jerry curls, inordinate hair-do, using earrings and so on.

LEGALISM?
While some churches and their pastors declare anything goes-style of dressing, another side also goes extreme in legalistically dressing. They claim to be conservative and then go extreme. This other side speaks against women wearing “ready made” clothes, buttons down shirts and they narrow them down to some specific styles they can wear; some even oppose women using hats and so on. Going extreme cannot bring godliness, it will only bring hypocrisy; such denominations have double standards, their standards of godly dress in Africa is different from what they have in the Western countries. If it is true that wearing trouser, buttons down shirts, using hats and so on are sins, then it should be sins everywhere, every time and at every situation.

The truth about sin is that sin is sin universally and at every condition. Then why do we see the same denominational women wearing hats, button down shirts and suits in Western countries? Why do we see the pictures of their women on their websites and on Facebook wearing suits, button-down shirts and even trousers in some occasions in western nations? Some excuse it is because of the weather there and I do wonder, “Is it possible for something that is sin in a particular country not to be sin in another country?” If women wearing suits, trousers, not covering their heads are sins in Africa or Asia, then they are sins in America and everywhere, irrespective of the weather, condition, country or the profession.

MODERATION!
The standard of the Bible is not anything goes permissive styles neither is it conservative legalism, Bible standard is MODERATION! One of the attributes of Christianity is moderation. Moderation in everything: how you live, what you say, what you eat, what you drink, how you dress, what you wear, car you ride, house you live in, what you use and so on. When you are in Christ, you don’t show off your self, because your self is death, you don’t show your body, your riches, your pride; you show Christ and Him alone. Anything that will share or take glory from Christ you don't get involves.

THE FOUR BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES!
So what are the Biblical standards for dressing for godly women? The answer is that a godly, regenerated woman can wear anything as long as it goes along with these four biblical perspectives:

(1) WELL COVERED: When you give your life to Jesus and living a new life in Him, you are not controlled by the world fashion's sense, you are not dressing to belong or please yourself, you dress primarily to cover your body as a living sacrifice to God. Because you realize your body is a temple of Holy Spirit. Anything you wear must cover you well. How? Your skirts must reach below your knees; your shirts must well cover your chest; any tops, gowns, etc. Your wears on top must not show the trace of your breasts if you bend down and your underwear must be under, not over. That is the meaning of well-covered dress.

Wearing shirt or top that shows your cleavage as a woman is sign of satanic influence on your soul. If a Christian woman wears a cloths that doesn't cover her knees, that the trace of her breasts can be seen, that people can see any of her under-wears outside, she does not present her body as a holy temple of God, she is defiling God’s temple since she claims to be a child of God, and the punishment is serious.

NOTE: Any dress you wear as a woman, on the top, that reveals your cleavage is the most sinful and ungodly dress of all. Those Christian women who wear such are under the trap of Satan, they are satanic agents of pollution, and the bad news is majority of Christian women are victims.

(2) NO TRANSPARENCY: Any clothing you wear as a godly woman must not be transparent or evaporated that your under wears will be seen. Since the purpose of wearing clothes is the cover your unclothedness, wearing transparent or evaporated clothes has defeated that God’s purpose in such woman's life. Wearing transparent, evaporated clothes is an indirect unclothedness and disobedience to God; it is as bad as half naked. As a Christian, godly woman, you are watchful of what you wear and how you wear them so that you are not disqualified by God just because of your dress-style.

If you don't wear trouser as a woman but you wear cut-and-sow or ready-made clothing that reveal your cleavage, then you are walking in the better trap of Satan.

(3) NO TIGHT: If you are wearing skirts, gowns, shirts, native dress, self made, uniforms, sport wears, whatever, where ever, it must not be tight. Wearing tight clothes that shows the shape and anatomy of your body to the world is also an indirect unclothedness. You wear clothes to cover your body not to show your body shape. When the motive is to show the shape of your body then something it wrong, it is called inordinate motive. A godly woman does not dress to show the shape of her body, so body hugs and all sorts of tight clothing are ungodly and can lead to damnation and condemnation of one’s soul at the end.

(4) NOT EXPENSIVE: Either a woman or a man, as a child of God, Bible directly warns us not to buy, wear expensive clothing, not because you can’t afford it but because you are a Christian, modest. Christianity is all about modesty, meaning showing little about your self, your financial capacity. You don’t buy clothes by the reason of your financial capacity; you buy clothes by the reason of modesty. Wasting money on expensive clothing and accessories is un-biblical. Our modern preachers can tell you opposite but here is what the Bible says, “in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,” 1 Timothy 2:9.

Costly clothing is unbecoming for a heavenly conscious woman or man. Then how can we measure costly clothing and every other thing we buy? Simply apply the principle of moderation: (I) ask yourself why you want to buy it for that price, are you buying it for its quality, for ego, to class and prove your financial level? Or because it is the reigning fashion and you want to belong? (II) Ask yourself if you can get another clothing of same quality with lesser price. Then let the Spirit of God guide you. God knows our intentions and thoughts, so we can’t deceive Him.

GOOD MOTIVE + BAD MANNER = CONDEMNED PERSON
Some women claim that they wear any clothes with pure motive, without any bad motive to seduce. If you have a pure motive and you don’t care about the manner you express that motive, it is a sin. If your pure motive is generating un-pure thoughts from those who see you then you have become the source and cause of un-pure thoughts. When you are a child of God, you show God’s glory, people see you and see Christ not otherwise.

Some say they wear what they want to wear, and if it affects any man, such man should close his eyes. Such statement should not be from a regenerated person who is a child of God, because (1) closing eyes will only lead the world into darkness, but a child of God is a source of light, to help open the eyes of the people in darkness, it is not to close the eyes of people into deeper darkness. (2) A child of God dresses to edify not to instigate lust or shows self.

May the Lord give us understanding of the truth, and may we take to necessary correction but it gets too late.

LESSON FROM THIS FUNNY JOKE
Screen saver!

A rich man died and immediately found his soul at the gate of heaven. The angel at the gate told him, “Now you are dead and you are here for judgment. You didn’t serve God well with all your heart, but because of all the great and good efforts you made for humanity when you were alive, I will give you uncommon privilege. You have the chance to choose where you want to go, hell or heaven.” The rich man asked the angel to permit him to have a look of both heaven and hell before he could make a choice. The angel permitted him, so he allowed him to first view hell.

When the angel took the rich man to hell, he saw beautiful ladies wearing swimming kits, dancing and having fun with glasses of wine. Then the angel took him to see heaven, there he saw angels singing hymns and praising God. So the angel asked the rich man to make a choice. The rich man said, “I will prefer hell, it is fun and more exciting there, let me go to hell” Then the angel said, “According to your decision.”

The rich man was thrown into hell, and to his greatest surprise he found himself in the flames of fire with furnace raining upon him and demons ready to torment him for ever. The rich man cried to the angel, “What happened? Where are those beautiful girls having fun that I saw here before?” The holy angel replied, “What you saw then was just a screensaver”

This a joke, because no choice or repentance after death, it is judgment. Hebrews 9:27. But this shows how Satan deceives people with the things of this world.

Whatever you see in this world are mere screensaver; the fun, fame, fancy, fashion, and fortune are empty screensaver that have nothing to profit the real you, which is your soul. Do not sell yourself to sin because of earthly pleasure and position and then find yourself in eternal pain and plaque. Why will you give a permanent heavenly paradise for a passing earthly possession? Don't be a fool. Do not exchange your soul to Satan just for screen-saving something that can't last as your soul. Don't be silly.

Your soul is the real you, your soul will last forever just as God will be forever, and just as Satan will be forever; if you surrender your life to Jesus Christ and follow Him till the end, you will last with God forever in heaven and in pleasure; but if you remain in sin or fall back into sin, you will be forever with Satan in hellfire, and in pain. YOU HAVE THE CHOICE NOW!

Luke 16: 24 Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and you are tormented.

Matthew 16: 26. “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”

SWEET POISON

I looked closely at the picture of a burger, and I saw a poisonous snake packed inside of it. The snake looked calm inside the burger and the burger looked yummy and bulky from little distance but it is a poisonous burger. That is exactly the type of many messages, sermons and Christian books you see all around today, they sound sweet and motivating but they are poisonous to your spiritual well-being.

Know that we are at the very end of the age, as Jesus Christ had foreseen and fore said that majority of the prophets at the end time would be false; and so if you believe that we are in the end time, the hidden truth is that majority of the prophets, pastors or bishops you know are false, they may even be your own pastors, mentors or role model. When the Bible talks about end time false prophets, does it means they will come in a strange, dirty way? No, the end time false prophets would come in a friendly and lovely way.

As many Jews were waiting for the coming of Elijah before the earthly ministration of Jesus Christ, they didn't believe John the Baptist was the Elijah to come as the forerunner, they are still waiting till today. So also as Jesus predicted many signs which would happen before His second coming, false prophets are one of the major signs of His imminent coming. These false prophets are already everywhere now, and if you care for the truth, they are the prosperity and motivating preachers of modern Christianity everywhere today. These false preachers are feeding people with spiritually poisonous messages by capitalizing on your indulgence; they know what you want and so they major on those things that will attract you just as candy attracts kids but not well for their health. Apostle Peter said, “By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words” 2 Peter 2:3.

Here are some signs and symptoms of poisonous messages and preachers inspired by devil for your spiritual wreck:

Earthly Major
The poisonous messages and preachers majorly focus on your earthly well-being than your spiritual well-being. They focus on your financial, material progress than your spiritual progress; it’s majorly about prosperity than purity. Such messages may be sweet, calming and lovely to you by your lovely preachers, G.Os or Bishops, but the bad news is that they are poison to your soul. Though such messages may psych you, make you scream, shout or shed tear, but they are lovely packed poison. Proverbs 20:17, "Bread gained by deceit is sweet to a man, But afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel."

Rights without Responsibilities
Poisonous messages center on promises of the Bible without responsibilities and commands of the Bible. Because they want to lure and psych you, they tell you half truth of sweet, lazy aspect that will cost you no self-discipline, just claim and cash! They tell you grace without truth, faith without work, justification without godliness, heaven without holiness, power without purity, and God’s promises without godly relationship. They say, “You should know your rights in Christ, you have authority, all promises for you…” But they rarely challenge you to your responsibility to live blameless life of holiness, to deny sin and self as a child of God. Such rhetoric of “your rights” without repeating “your responsibilities” are poisonous to your soul.

Praise Without Purity
If you hear any preacher saying what you need majorly to please God and get blessing of God is to just keep praising God, without first telling you about purity, such preacher is a poison vendor, such message is erroneous. Praise without purity is ugly and unacceptable to God, no matter how sweet your voice is, and no matter how seasoning the musical instruments are; because the beauty of praise is holiness, and your praise without your life of holiness is ugly, empty and poisonous. 1 Chronicles 16:29, “Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness!”

Grace Without Godliness
Beware of messages that talk about grace without godliness, they are end time Snake Venom! The grace of Jesus Christ produces godly life. We are not saved by our own works of righteousness; we are saved by grace for godly works not for ungodly works. After salvation, the grace of God produces righteous living in us. Grace and ungodliness never meet together – you can’t continue in sin and still have God’s grace in you, and you can’t continue in grace of God and still continue in ungodly living. Romans 6:1-2

TITUS 2: 11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.

There are some poisons that are sweet, for example, Ethylene glycol is a poison with a sweet taste, Lead(II) acetate (Pb(CH3COO)2) has a sweet taste. But the sweetest poisons are the deception of sin and the motivating and prosperity pastors' messages. Sin tastes sweet but it has the capacity to poison your heart, soul and body, and causes eternal destruction. Sin is sweet but dangerous to your life! Modern prosperity gospel is yummy but destructive.

If you are born again, but no evidence of holiness of life, if you still rise and fall into sin or some ungodly lifestyles still persist in your life, you need to rededicate your life to Jesus, and deliver yourself from poisonous messages, preachers and churches before you are doomed forever. Escape for your life!

Are you ready to rededicate your life to Jesus now and start a new life? Then repent! Confess all your sins, forsake them all and ask Jesus to forgive, cleanse you and save you. Please click on this link and read on how to be genuinely saved and start new life in Jesus and pray as directed http://www.facebook.com/notes/revelation-of-truth-evangelical-ministries-rtem/how-can-i-be-saved/270674586372252

THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM

Genesis 22: 8, “And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.”

The Bible usually portraits Abraham as a man of faith, and more than that he was always referred to from Old Testament to New Testament as example of faith and father of faith because of His faith and obedience to God.

The greatest test of faith Abraham encountered in his life was the order from God to offer his only son Isaac as burnt offering.

The Genesis 22:1-3, “Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.”

Abraham obeyed the divine order and embarked on the journey to the designated place for the sacrifice, with Isaac and his servants. Though Isaac was a lad, but he had knowledge about the ingredients for burnt offering, since it was the usual activity of his father. He knew it took three items for burnt offering sacrifice: the lamb, wood and fire; but that very day he could only see fire and wood. So he curiously asked his father Abraham in Gen: 22: 7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!”And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

That was on unequivocal question from Isaac to Abraham, and without confusion or worry, Abraham responded to the question with confidence and faith in God, “And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.” The statement of Abraham was not a diplomatic or cryptic statement; it was a clear statement of faith in God without iota of doubt or confusion. He declared God would provide for Himself; how certain! This is a confession of faith from a patriot of faith.

Abraham believed God could do all things that God could bring something from nothing, so he wasn't disturbed. Because he believed God could make miraculous provision for the burnt offering, so he told his son that God would provide. Here is the heart of the matter: Abraham believed, through his response to Isaac, that God was able to make miraculous provision of the lamb but he also trusted God to lay down his only beloved son Isaac for the sacrifice, even if God choose not to provide the lamb. That is the faith of Abraham: Believing and trusting.

When father Abraham got to the designation for the sacrifice, he built the altar for the sacrifice and through all these processes no miraculous provision of animal. He did not fold his hands and seat down waiting for God to provide the lamb as he had declared to his son, but he went ahead and laid down Isaac for the burnt offering. Though he believed and confessed God could do all things but he also trusted God to lay down his Isaac. Hebrew 11: 17-19 says, By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.”

So, why did Abraham laid his son on the altar for to sacrifice, after he had confessed God would provide? Abraham believed God was able to provide, but he also trusted God to give, offer his Isaac even if God chose not to provide. This action of Abraham became typical example of faith, and it was referred to several times in the Bible. Faith is believing and trusting, believing God is able to provide, deliver, heal, do something, do all things and also moving on to trust He Him even when chooses not to intervene in the situation.

The fact that you believe God doesn't means you will not make some sacrifices; the fact that you are a believer doesn't indicates God would not permit you to go through hard and difficult time, and because you believe God is able, all-powerful and all-mighty doesn’t implies you will not pass through moments of trials and afflictions. What really shows your faith, and belief in God is your trusting Him and being calm in difficult situation and affliction, when God does not respond as early or through the means you expect. When things turn upside down, when trials and situations emerge, and you don’t abandon the altar and run away from God, but keep the fire burning on the altar of your commitment and godliness; that is the faith of Abraham.

Faith is not a bed of roses, it’s not always "claim and cash" as the modern preachers speciously teach. Jesus never taught faith as a means of catching money, prosperity and easy life, He never described the journey of faith as trend of luxury and platter of gold. Faith is believing in the power, provision and prosperity of God and also trusting Him to the end even if things doesn’t work as desired. Faith without trust is fake just as faith without work is dead. You believe and you trust, that is the faith of Abraham, the real practical faith of the patriots of faith.

Abraham’s faith is an illustration of the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, of believing and trusting. Jesus believed God more than anyone could and He also trusted God to lay down His life on God’s will, because He trusted Him to raise Him up from the dead. Gethsemane was a battleground of faith for Jesus Christ on the way to the death of cross at Calvary. Jesus made a statement of perfect and real faith in Mark 14:36, “He said; ‘Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what you will” Believing and trusting! Jesus confessed all things were possible for God, that is faith in God, believing the all-powerful and all-mighty God without any doubt, but it didn’t end there; He said, “not what I will but what you will’ that is trusting God even in the very troubled time, and submitting unto His will.

Jesus believed His Father was able to do all things and He also submitted and trusted Him to do the best; that is faith, which is the best, the will of God is the best. When we trust God and submit to His will even in difficult time, it shows we have the real faith of Abraham, and more importantly, the faith of Jesus Christ. Faith is not solely believing God for something, but also trusting Him even when the situation gets worst. Anybody can believe God but it takes real faith to trust and stay with God in trouble and affliction. Everybody can claim to have faith in God, but it takes a difficult and hard time to prove a genuine faith. Faith is total belief in God’s power and total surrender to God’s will.

Do you have the real faith? The faith that anchors in the word of God, the faith that stands in the flame of fire of trial? Do you have the faith like Abraham that stood strong at mount Moriah when he was asked to offer his only beloved son? Do you have the perfect faith of Jesus at mount of Olive in Gethsemane when He was to offer Himself as sin offering for the whole world? God didn’t allow Abraham to offer Isaac as sacrifice, but He allowed Jesus Christ to offer Himself as a sacrifice for our sins on the cross.

Characteristics Of Genuine Faith
(1) Genuine faith comes through the word of God. Faith doesn’t come by feeling or by just human experience, it comes by the Word of God. Romans 10:17, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

(2) Genuine faith brings new life in Jesus. Faith without new life is fate. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

(3) Genuine faith believes God and trusts God. If your faith is all about believing in God’s power for possibility without trusting God to continue to serve and sacrifice if nothing happens, then you need to get the real faith. Faith in God is not only to claim and cash, but to trust and obey. Hebrews 11:17-19, “By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.”

(4) Genuine Faith doesn’t give up. Real faith stands and stays to the end. When feeling disappears, faith continues; when human courage vanishes, faith is firm. Hebrews 11:13, “These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”

(5) Genuine faith does not compromise. Faith in God is standing for God’s will in God’s word, it is pleasing God, because it is not possible to please God without faith. Faith is not believing God for our desires, but also trusting God for His will. Real faith doesn’t compromise with sin. The modern churches that preach faith do not really understand what faith is all about. How can you have faith in God as your Provider and you lie or compromise to get provision, contracts or job? How can you have faith in God as your Protector and you are afraid of demonic people? How can you have faith in God as your Healer and you allow your people in village to give you or your family concussion? How can you have faith in God as your Glory and you abort or do sinful things to cover up? I don’t understand the kind of faith many claim in sin, the faith of the Bible doesn’t compromise with sin. A faithful believer does not lie for any reason at any time. It takes faith to stand and say the truth always, but only fear makes people compromise.

Hebrews 11:24, “ By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.”

(6) Genuine Faith is submissive to God, not stubborn. Abraham submitted to God’s will, Jesus surrendered to God’s will at the Gethsemane, so real faith yields to God’s will not stubborn to personal decision and desire. You want something this way, but God says no, the other way; faith submits. Mark 14:36, “He said; ‘Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what you will”

(7) Genuine faith stands to the end. Chapter 11 of Hebrews lists heroes of faith, it only contains the names of people who stood to the end, and you will not see the names of people like Saul and others who fell by the road side. Your faith is only faith if you endure till the end and make heaven or what is the essence of a strong faith that later ends up in hell with unbelievers? Mark 13:13, “And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”

(Genuine faith waits. It is only fear that runs here and there, but faith in God waits upon God for God's time and blessing. Isaiah 28:16, “…Whoever believes will not act hastily.”

(9) Genuine faith does not fear. Fear is opposed of faith. Children of God do not fear but have faith in God at all time and even in the shadow of death. Faith does not fear men, but only God. Hebrews 11:23, “By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command.”

(10) Genuine faith is prayerful. The fact that we have faith does not mean we should be prayerless and just believe, it is faith that actually pushes us to pray more because we believe our God answers prayer. Faith is not weak in prayer, men of faith prayed without ceasing because they had faith in God that answers prayer. Faith will move you to pray for others because you believe God answers your prayer. Prayer without faith is dry and faith without prayer is dull. Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Have faith in God to provide and help you in every situation, and keep the faith no matter the situation. Faith will hold you through the storm of life; faith will keep you strong and confident even to the point of death. Faith will take you to eternal life where father Abraham other patriots of faith are, more than that, faith will take you to the bosom of Jesus Christ in Heaven.

HOW TO BE SAVED AND START A NEW LIFE IN JESUS!
Dear reader, it’s by God’s mercy to exist to this time, Satan’s plan for us is to die in sin and doom forever in hell fire. Without genuine salvation, there is no way we can escape the judgment of God, so count it as a great privilege to have this opportunity, and so you need to make the best use of it for your salvation and new life in Jesus.

How can you have genuine salvation that will guarantee eternal life with Jesus and grant you the grace to overcome sin, Satan and self? Please follow the following steps:

No Excuse, but admit it.
If truly you need God’s mercy to pardon your sins and give you grace to overcome them, then you need to face it by yourself and acknowledge your sin. Don’t excuse sin because everybody is doing it - in your church (even your pastors, parents or partners), in your family, in your place of work, etc. Don’t says, “Does that means everybody doing it will go to hell fire?” Yes, everybody can go to hell and God will still be righteous. Jesus said instead of you to be thinking how many will be saved, YOU strife to be saved NOW. Don’t excuse sin because of its popularity, it’s in person - you, face it. And sin is sin, either small or great, there is no difference, you just be sincere and confess it.

Psalm 51:3
For I acknowledge my transgressions,
And my sin is always before me.
4 Against You, You only, have I sinned,
And done this evil in Your sight

Make a Genuine Confession
Do you wonder why you’ve made several confessions of your sins and yet you still have guilt of those sins, you still go back into such sins, and your salvation is not certain or you find yourself going back into your sins? It’s simple: you didn’t make genuine confession. Genuine confession is not just using the name of Jesus, not answering alter call and so on. Take the next 2 steps that lead you to genuine salvation in Jesus Christ:

First Repent before You confess.
There are many fake confessions, but if you sincerely want to make acceptable confession, you must first repent. No need for you to confess if there is no repentance in you. Repentance is thoughtful realization of your sins and determination to forsake them. If you confess without readiness to forsake the sins you confess, you are simply wasting your time, and the sins will soon get you down. To repent is not to be sorry for your sins, if you are sorry without readiness to forsake all, you will have a sorry case and that is not a genuine salvation. Humble yourself before God now and surrender all.

Proverbs 28:13 He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

Pray It All
Now all you need to do is to go before in prayer as you confess your sins and ask God to forgive you through His Son Jesus Christ. Tell Him you are sorry for how you have lived and all you have done, ask Him to cleanse you by the Blood of Jesus and give you a new heart and a new spirit. He will do it as He has promised in His Word saying, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:8-9.

Now is the time for your salvation! Do not delay further, do it now, don’t allow Satan to distract or delay you, because another chance may not come. You can pray the prayer for the next 5 to 10 minutes.

Have you prayed the prayer for your salvation? Then let me pray with you:
“Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for our sins, thank You for coming to seek us and counting us worthy to be saved. You promised that if we come to You, You will not cast us away; that if we admit and confess our sins, no mater how many and how terrible, You will forgive and cleanse us. So I pray for this beloved, as s/he has repented, confessed and asked for Your forgiveness, save her/him and give her/him a new nature of Yours to live for You from today. Thank You Lord because You have answered, for we prayed in Jesus name. Amen.”

Now You Are saved!
Now, you are saved, you are born again with a new life by Jesus Christ. You need to start the new life guided by God’s Word. You have to disassociate and detach yourself from old lifestyle; old things that are not according to God’s Word and friendship that can pull you back to old life in sin. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” You can’t continue in your old lifestyle anymore, you are now a genuine, heaven recognized child of God and your life must be guided by His Word. You need to be reading Bible every day and praying about your new life. You should be reading at least 2 chapters of Bible everyday and take time to pray for your spiritual growth and daily strength; you can start from Matthew chapter 1. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding before you read and pray after you finish reading. Pray for God’s grace and Spirit to live daily according to His word and to overcome every temptation on your way, and be watchful every time at every situation in your new life in Jesus!

As you have now started a new life in Christ Jesus, heaven is rejoicing over you as your name is written in the Book of Life. Look only unto Jesus, not any man or any pastor. There are many false teachings everywhere because we are in end time, so let the Bible be your supreme guide!

We will love to hear from you for more counseling that will help your daily Christian life, and to keep you in our prayer for your new life in Jesus. And if you have any question please contact us:

WHAT IS VAIN REPETITION IN PRAYER?
“And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Matthew 6:7

Jesus Christ directed us not to involve vain repetitions in our prayers, and so what is vain repetition? Does it mean praying long prayer or saying a word or statement repeatedly? Does it means asking God something more than once in our prayer, even though we have not received it? NO, vain repetition is none of the above. Vain repetition is more serious, subtle, and deceptive.

There is different between “vain repetition” and “repetition”. . Jesus prayed three times at Gethsemane and repeated the same prayer points. Jesus did not say we should not repeat or re-emphasize in our prayers, He did not oppose repetition, but only “vain” repetition. Vain repetition comes in various ways which many of us get involved unknowingly. Jesus said, “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do.” This shows that vain repetitions were originally the act of the heathen, the people who worshiped false gods and the religious people. Here are some vain repetitions:

FAITH IN PRAYER
The heathens’ faith is hinged on their prayer, believing the answers to their prayers are determined by their prayer, "For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” Matthew 6:7. The heathen keep repeating in pain, hoping their gods will consider how they suffer themselves, and answer them.

Let’s see example from the Bible: 1 kings 18:26-28, “So they took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice; no one answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made. 27 And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.” 28 So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.” In Christianity, our faith does not depend on our prayer but on the God who answers prayer. Christ did not teach us to put our faith in our prayer, but in God that answers prayer; He said we should even believe God’s answers before praying. So, “It is not by power, neither by might, but by My Spirit” says the Lord.

Using candle, anointing oil, handkerchief or other stuffs to pray is an act of the heathen; the scripture directs us to pray only in the name of Jesus Christ and believe God for answer, simple! Anything apart from that is extra-biblical phenomenon. There is nothing called special prayer, special man of God for speedy answer or special place to pray in the teaching of Jesus Christ; running from mountains to meetings, traveling from far distance to a program for special prayer is an act of the heathen.

We can travel far distance to hear the Word of God that will help our spiritual lives, and we can travel far distance to do the work of God, but not for special prayer or to meet special man of God who will help us pray to God. When you become a child of God, and living your life to please Him, you have access to God through the name of Jesus Christ, without intermediary.

Only the heathen, unbelievers or unserious Christians need somebody to help them present their requests to God. As children of God, we can pray for one another and pray together, but not presenting our prayers to another person to pray to God on our behalf. Giving minister money for prayer, paying money or making vow before prayer is unscriptural.

PRAYER WITHOUT FAITH
This is common in the lives of many Christians today, we pray as routine, just to pray because we are Christians, without faith in God for the prayer, without expectation for the prayer. Prayer without faith is in vain. We pray because we serve God that answers prayer, who delights in our prayer. Prayer is an exciting activity because God listens and answers, but when prayer becomes boring to you, it means you do not have faith that God listens or will answer your prayer.

The fact that God delays to answer your demands does not means He is denying you or He does not delight in you; God is only doing great things on your behalf that will daze many who will later hear your testimony. If you have the knowledge that whenever you pray, heaven stands still, that God is waiting for the sweet smelling of your prayer, you will look forward to praying, and not look warm in prayer. Jesus did not ask us to pray for the sake of praying as a Christian routine, but He asks us to pray so that we can receive. John 16:24, “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”

Praying without expectation is a vain repetition; until you are expectant, you have asked nothing.

PRAYER WITHOUT OBEDIENCE
Obedience to God is more important than prayer to God. When you ignore to obey God’s word, and you keep praying, it means you are doing vain repetitions. Maybe you suppose to repent and confess your sin, but you ignore that and keep praying for God’s mercy, such prayer is vain repetition. Some people commit sins, and instead of them to open up, confess to God and the necessary people, they keep praying for forgiveness and mercy – they are doing VAIN repetition. We can only receive mercy when we confess and forsake our sins. Proverbs 28:13.
When the Spirit of God is leading you to open up your covered sin or to do restitution, but you refuse to obey, and you keep praying for mercy, mercy; you are only doing vain repetition. Obedience is better than sacrifice!

Maybe you are living in sin, living with sinful partner, doing a sinful business, working at an ungodly place, using fake document, age or you are benefiting from your past sin; then the Word of God is warning you to forsake the sins and forfeit the sinful benefits and surrender all to God, but instead of you to simply obey, you remain in the sinful thing and you keep fasting and praying for God’s mercy. Such prayer is a waste of time and a vain repetition. Some even go to the extent of giving huge amount of money and time for God’s work, thinking God will consider that and overlook their disobedience; they are ignorant that God cannot be bribed by fasting, long prayer or sacrifices.

Obedience to God’s word is more important than prayer and fasting, than sowing or giving for God’s work. Your pastors or your church can accept your gifts and pray for you, but you are not at peace with your Creator until you simply obey. Matthew 5:23, 24, “Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.”

Prayer should be made continuously without ceasing. In any particular request, we should keep asking, reminding God until our joy is full - that is faith repetition not vain repetition. Keep the Word of God in total obedience, keep the faith, and keep praying until your joy is full.

John 14:13-16: And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. 15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever.

QUESTION AND ANSWER ON PAYING TITHE - Is a must to pay tithe?

QUESTION: Can we stretch this biblical teaching also to the subject of tithe? Especially when you consist that tithe is also an Old Testament practice abolished by the death and resurrection of Jesus. Plus the fact that no reference in the new testament of the Apostles paying tithe either of agrarian or monetary. Kindly shed light on this issue. Thanks,

ANSWER:
Glad to hear from you. Tithe is different from first fruit. Tithe is a must for every child of God, Jesus Christ approve tithe in the New Testament. Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone." - we ought to pay tithe and live just and righteous life at the same time.

Paying tithe without living a righteous life leads to judgement of God at the end. Jesus Christ declared "WOE" on the people paying tithe from the money gotten through ungodly means, money from a contract through bribe, money from job you falsify your age to get, money through immoral act and on people who willingly give tithes but refuse to give their lives completely to Him.

Tithes from ungodly means and unsaved people are not acceptable to God. The modern church will tell you that everybody should give tithes - both saved and unsaved, but Jesus says there is something more important you need to first give God - your soul! You will need to first give your life to Jesus Christ, then you must pay your tithe faithfully.

Where and who to pay tithe to depends as the Spirit of God leads you. It is not a must to pay to a church you attend. You can send your tithe to missionary, village church, needy ministers of God or some times to support brethren in urgent need when you don't have other means to help.

God bless you

BE VIGILANT!
1 Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

I woke up last night to pray as supposed, but my eyes were heavy and not clear of the sleep so I started running slowly around in the room as I was praying. Then I felt relieved of the sleep, but not too long as I was praying I began to feel asleep again....

Knowing fully well that if I should seat down or lie down I would sleep off, I began the exercise again in the room as I continued praying. After about 1hour my eyes were cleared off the sleep and I felt I could kneel down in front of a chair; as I knelt down praying, not too long I was dozing again, I had to resume jumping around till I almost finished the prayer. I learn a lesson from the incident: Vigilance till the end is very important in Christian race.

After you surrender your life to Jesus, you began the race, overcoming sin, self and satanic devices through the grace of God; you need to continue to be vigilant every time without relaxing because Satan never relaxes on you. When somebody overcomes sin of sexual immorality, Satan will introduce masturbation as if that does not matter.

When you stop fighting, then Satan may bring anger which you must still overcome. When you overcome malice, the devil may bring gossip, after you have overcome telling lies, Satan may bring pretending habit. When you overcome a worldly lifestyle, Satan will introduce another. If care is not taken, you may over look the later and think you are okay.

That is the reason we must be vigilant every time. Many serious, devoted Christians and ministers today are trapped by Satan with little sins which we think do not matter. We may focus on overcoming big sins and claim to be holy, but sins like bitterness, envy, jealousy; gossip, rancor, subtle pride, selfishness, etc may not take our attention except we are very vigilant. God does not demand our 99% righteousness but 100%.

How can we be vigilant?
(1) WATCHFULNESS. We must be watchful every time, every moment over our thoughts, tongues, temper and actions; and ready to heed to correction immediately when the Holy Spirit corrects us.

(2) PRAYER. Daily prayer is very important. We can’t live fervent Christian life without fervent prayer life. In our prayer we confess our weaknesses to God, ask His grace and strength to overcome them. For example, if you want to spend 30 minutes to pray after praises, you should spend at least 20mins to pray on your spiritual life for grace and strength everyday. We should daily pray that God should search us and sanctify us. When you discover an ungodly habit or thought creeping in, take it to God in prayer to be purified.

(3) BIBLE READING. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17. One of the major purposes of Bible reading is to be corrected and cleansed by the Word of God. God’s Word is a light.

So, you see the importance of daily personal devotion of prayer and Bible reading? Don’t relax in your Christian life in the name of being matured Christian and then fall short at the end. I better see myself as a baby Christian and serving God with trembling and carefulness than to relent in the name of being a matured Christian. No room to celebrate victory in Christian race until we get to heaven, Satan does not rest or relent on every serious Christian, he always devising, and so we must always be vigilant! Christian life is not a bed of roses and relaxing in prosperity and convenience, but it’s a batter, a race, a wrestling. But God is there to aid and assist unto the end in Jesus name!

“But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.” 1 Peter 5:10

A WONDERFUL LETTER FROM HEAVEN TO MUMMY (Please read this!)

Mommy,
I am in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus' lap. He loves me and cries with me; for my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence, because my existence started from conception when I was formed in your womb. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping.

Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much.

One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you, maybe you didn’t expect me, but God sent me to you as a special gift, I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy. That same day, the most horrible thing happened.

A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me.

The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore.

Then the monster started ripping my arm off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off.

Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy and also chase wrong men away from you and let only the right man stays in your life, that man would love you and accept me with you. Above all, I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking.

No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand.

And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone.

The angel took me to Jesus and set me on His lap. He said He loved me, and He was my Father.

Then I was happy. I asked Him what the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion. I am sorry, my child; for I know how it feels."

I didn't know what abortion was; I guess that's the name of the monster, Jesus told me so; He said you sent it to me. I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful.

It sucked my arm and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die. Now in heaven I was told your hands and records are tarnished with blood, innocent blood of your own baby girl.

Also, mommy, please allow the innocent BLOOD of Jesus to watch you from this blemish, and watch out for that abortion monster, don’t use it to destroy God’s gift in your womb again, don’t allow this to be on your records again, so that I can see you in heaven here with Jesus. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful. When you get to heaven, you will know my name.

Love,

Your Baby Girl

The greatest murder in life is murdering an innocent man, and no one on earth is as innocent as unborn baby. So killing, aborting or evacuating such innocent human being is the worst crime.

When you think you have unwanted pregnancy, think about Mary, the mother of Jesus. She had the worst unwanted pregnancy in the history of the world. Being a virgin, she was pregnant, yes from Holy Spirit, but how many people would understand at initial to alleviate the shame? How many people will she tell that, “Hey, I am not a bad girl, I’m still a virgin, what you see is from the Holy Spirit” And how many people would even believe her? Since such had never happened in history before her case, that a virgin got pregnant and still a virgin, but your case is not as strange or funny as her case. But then her shame turned to glory later. So you may have shame now, but if you trust God, endure and accept the pregnancy as Gift of God, not as a product of your mistake; the shame will later be turned to glory as it happened to Mary.

If you have committed abortion before, if you have suggested abortion before, if you have abetted abortion before, if you have carried out abortion before as a medical person, you are all in the same page before God. You must repent now, surrender all to Jesus and allow His precious Blood to speak a better thing to your life than the innocent blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:24. Then, you must confess to the necessary people for you to confirm your forgiveness. Do not deceive yourself by saying you have confessed to God, you must also confess to one another James 5:16: Maybe your parents, your pastors, or your partners.

If you did it in past and you are still single, confess to your partner before you marry, so that your confession can be sincere. Open up your sins before it will open you up at last. And decide never to commit such great crime again in your life; you may not have second change. You are blessed!

Psalm 127:
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

At this point, are you ready to surrender your life to Jesus Christ and start a new life in Him? Do you want to rededicate your life to Him so you will not perish with this world?

WHEN HEAVEN OPENS
2 Kings 7:19, “Then that officer had answered the man of God, and said, “Now look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could such a thing be?”

Open heaven has become a common topic in Christianity and Churches today, several church programs are titled “Open heaven” , books, devotions and others are tagged with “Open heaven”. Many Christians even pray the prayer of open heaven, asking God to open their heavens. But it seems that much as many people delight in open heaven, only few people really understand what it means for heaven to open.

From Genesis to Revelation, there were occurrences of the experience of heaven or windows of heaven being opened. In the Bible, there are promises and predictions of open heaven by God, since He is the only One who has the keys to open heaven. From the light of the Bible, open heaven brings two things, meaning, when heaven opens, either of the two things – blessing or judgment. What we receive when heaven opens depends on us, on the way we have been responding to the word of God. Open heaven is not an automatic blessing or synonymous to blessing; open heaven can bring you abundant blessing or abundant judgment, depending on you.

OPEN HEAVEN OF JUDGMENT
Genesis 7:11, 12, “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.”

The first experience of open heaven in the history of the world was during the time of Noah, this open heaven was not a pleasant one, because it did not bring blessing, but fierce judgment upon the disobedient. After the generation turned wicked before God and refused to repent and obey God, then God opened heaven and poured rain of judgment for forty days and forty nights. There can be rain of blessing and also rain of judgment when heaven opens. This first open heaven experience on earth destroyed the whole generation except Noah and his household.

Another experience of open heaven after Noah was also an open heaven of judgment. God rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah. In Genesis 19:24, 25, “ Then the LORD rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the heavens. 25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.”

It is a good thing to pray for open heaven, but it is better to first open up your heart to God in total obedience before you wish heaven opens on you. Open heaven of God without open heart to God brings judgment of God.

Believing God’s word leads to obedience to God’s word, and that leads to blessing abundantly. But on the other hand, disbelieving God’s word brings disobedience to God’s word, which leads to judgment of God.

In the time of Elisha when there was a severe famine, king Joram’s right-hand man disbelieved and scoffed God’s word when Elisha said there would be plenty of food within 24 hours. This officer would not believe and trust God’s word for open heaven of blessing, so he experienced judgment from the open heaven; while others feasted, he was trampled to death. 2 Kings 7:17, 18.

God said, ““This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” There are two commandments of God from this statement: 1, Accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God, Savior of the world. 2, Obey Jesus Christ, meaning surrender your life to Him and live to please Him in godliness, righteousness and truth. Failure to obey both will only lead to judgment of God. If you reject Jesus as the Savior, you are destined for God’s judgment; if you refuse to surrender your total life to Jesus in holiness after you have known Him as the Savior, you are doomed for eternal judgment of God.

Isaiah 24:18, “And it shall be
That he who flees from the noise of the fear
Shall fall into the pit,
And he who comes up from the midst of the pit
Shall be caught in the snare;
For the windows from on high are open,
And the foundations of the earth are shaken.”

OPEN HEAVEN OF BLESSING
“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today…… The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.” Deuteronomy 28:1, 12

The windows of heaven can open and pour blessings upon us when we trust and obey God. Trusting God for what He says, and obeying what He says are the only means by which we can experience blessing when heaven opens. Obedience to God’s word always attract blessing from heaven. When a Christian prays, “Father, let my heaven open” if such Christian is living against God’s word and disobeying God’s commands, though heaven will surely open, because he demands for it, but it will only bring judgment. When we read God’s promises of open heaven, there is always commands attached to it, it is when such commands from God are obeyed that heaven will pour down blessing.

Malachi 3:10, “……And try Me now in this,”
Says the LORD of hosts,
“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.”

In the Book of Malachi, God promised open heaven on the condition of obedience to His Word - trusting God with our money and paying out tithes. But this is not the only condition of experiencing open heaven, there are more weightier commandments of God than paying tithes, so if someone pays his tithes but does not live a righteous and holy life, the open heaven will not bring blessing. There were group of people in the Bible who were faithfully paying tithes but they were unfaithful in pleasing God, and so they were condemned.

Matthew 23:23, ““Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.”

If you fulfill the righteousness of paying tithes but fail to fulfill the righteousness of presenting yourself as a holy and living sacrifice, then your tithes and offerings are baseless.

Jesus Christ experienced open heavens in His earthly ministry after He fulfilled all righteousness.
Matthew 3:15-17, “But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. 17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Open heaven brings blessing when we obey God’s word and fulfill His will.

THE ULTIMATE OPEN HEAVEN
There have been several open heavens since the beginning of this world, but there is an ultimate open heaven coming upon the whole world. This will serve as grand finale open heaven, Jesus Christ and His angelic armies will stream into the world. As open heaven brings blessing and judgment, so it will be at this ultimate open heaven. There will first be open heaven of rapture for the obedient children of God, and then another open heaven of second coming of Jesus Christ for judgment on the disobedient.

Revelation 19:11, “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.”

Like the people in the time of Noah, many are scoffing and disbelieving this upcoming great event , so they have no reason to obey and prepare. Apostle Peter warned about such people:

“knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 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 creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2 Peter 3:3-7

You will not have cause to obey God’s word and keep yourself pure if you do not believe that Jesus is coming soon to take His obedient children to a blessed heaven, and to judge the sinners and careless Christians into eternal damnation. You may also echo with the king’s officer that, “even if the Lord should open windows of heavens, could this happens?” How can it be possible that this beautiful world will be thrown into hell fire? How can God pour billions of people into hell fire? Unbelievable! This sounds like a joke. That was how it seemed like joke to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah.

When the angels of God instructed Lot to warn the Sodomites that God would soon open the windows of heaven and rain fire and brimstone on them, it was like a joke. “So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, “Get up, get out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city!” But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.” Genesis 19:14.

It was a matter of time, the joke became reality to them, but too late to repent. Genesis 19:24, 25, “Then the LORD rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the LORD out of the heavens. 25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.”

You should not be another victim of unbelief for destruction, it is better to learn from the history and be wise. God has made Jesus Christ to be an atonement for the whole world. Jesus is coming back again to justify His obedient saints and judge the disobedient sinners. For the obedient believers, the coming of Jesus will bring so much blessing that we “will not have room enough for it” But for the unbelievers and careless Christians, it will bring utter ruin and misery that will be so much unbearable. Matthew 13:42, 43 “And will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

If you are part of the unbelievers who reject Jesus as their Lord, you are in a dangerous team. And also if you are part of Christians who do not believe in holiness, without which no one will see God, if you think no need for restitution after salvation, if you think there is no need for total holiness and righteousness, then you are in serious danger; if you are part of the prosperity Christians who do not see purity of life as necessity for believer, if you are part of the Christians who believe in grace without holiness, who believe in claiming righteousness without living righteous, then you are part of the end time scoffers of holiness and godliness for God’s judgment.

THE ULTIMATE BLESSING!
The ultimate blessing you can experience in your life is genuine salvation of your soul and following Christ in total obedience. You can make your experience of open heaven to be a blessed and blissful experience, no matter your past and present; all you need is to believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord, repent, confess and surrender your life to Him. And after that, you start a new life in Him.

1 John 1:8, 9, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

REVELATION OF THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE CHURCH

Pastors, evangelists, preachers and missionaries; please excuse me and listen. God has not called you to preach abundance of prosperity or prophecy about that. God has called you to preach holiness and sanctification, because without holiness, nobody will see the lord. Get the word out, get the word of holiness out there and preach it !!!

The angels then let me in and Jesus was waiting for me and told me: “Rodolfo my son, welcome to the Kingdom of your God.” When we started to walk, I saw that the streets were of pure gold and I saw a river like crystal, it is real water! I also saw diamonds as ornaments in the streets, a thing over which people kill each other on earth! The Lord then took my hand and told me: “now I am going to show you the temple.” and it was so beautiful. I saw goblets of gold, instruments of gold and I heard a beautiful song and they were children who were singing. The Lord told me that those children were the ones that people rejected on earth but they have life in the kingdom of heaven. Glory to God, hallelujah!

BRIDAL DRESS, WEDDING SUPPER, CROWNS
We continued walking through heaven and I saw a beautiful, humongous white dress decorated in gold and a crown at the top and the Lord told me that it was His church. That it has to be holy and sanctified. The crown is the crown of life that the lord is going to give to the church. When we went out of there, I saw a great line of people. I could see many people dressed in white. I saw two big angels, very elegant countenance and by looking into their eyes, I saw peace, love tenure. One angel said “welcome to the kingdom of your God.” The other angel applauded. I saw people were so happy to be there and now I understand what apostle Paul said that the passing afflictions on earth are nothing compared to the glories awaiting for us in heaven.

The Lord then took me to a place where I saw a long table without end. The table was in gold. The table cloth covering was of gold, goblets of gold, knives and forks in gold, chairs of gold etc… Then I saw big and small crowns and the Lord told me that those big crowns are for His servants, when they come to the wedding of the Lamb. He said “because the wedding of the Lamb is about to start. I am coming soon for my church. Tell them that I am going to pick up my church.”
I asked the Lord“these small crowns, who are they for?”
“Those small crowns are for the people inside the church who live in holiness but they do nothing for the Kingdom. But I tell you, don’t settle for a small crown but work hard for a big one. Work hard for God so that He would give you the reward of life.” The surprising thing was that every chair has a name behind them and nobody else is going to sit in that chair except for that person.

CONDITION OF TODAY’S CHURCH
“Now Rodolfo, I am going to show you the real condition of the church right now”. I saw a little fish praising and worshiping Jesus because the Bible says: Let all that has breath, praise the Lord!

So the Lord showed me the earth where I had to return to preach what I saw. But I had the impression that I had no remembrance of the earth and the Lord gave me the understanding that one who enters into heaven forgets everything that happened to them on earth!. Not so however in hell; everyone who enters there has memories of everything they did on earth, their families, that that they don’t want them to go to hell! That is another torment added to their sufferings. But the one who enters heaven has their mentality changed to a heavenly mind.

Praise the Lord! For that reason, not Peter nor Mary nor Stephen, nor Elisha or John have a memory of what they did on earth; after their earthly lives, they simply don’t know what is happening here. Peter cannot even imagine that the catholic religion adore him or any other saint for that matter. And Jesus said, “there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved.” That is Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God. And Mary said in the Canaan wedding “Do whatever He tells you”. And … worshipers of Satan are in the Vatican; they hide all the sinful ways of priests sleeping with nuns; and priests being accused of child molestation and also here in the Dominican Republic…. And the Catholics continue to believe in those lies.

MONEY FOCUSED & UNFAITHFUL MINISTERS
Now the Lord started crying when He started to show me the condition of the church. Suddenly I saw a pastor on earth carrying a big suitcase and it was full of money. The Lord told me, ‘These are preachers and evangelists that are getting rich with the offerings because they are preaching lies to my people and letting my people get lost.” I tell you preachers and evangelists, preach Jesus even if you don’t receive tithes and offerings. Sanctify the church!

Suddenly I saw that the money in the suitcase disappeared. I asked the Lord and He told me that “In the same manner his money disappeared, so will he disappear together with the antichrist. But still I have a remnant of my people who are not contaminated.”

I see today how many preachers, pastors, evangelists … are rich and millionaires. However, the members of their church are falling into pieces in poverty, needing food to eat and the pastor is in opulence, not helping them! So many evangelists, multi-millionaires even billionaires in super luxury cars. Where is the Good Samaritan? And I saw many pastors ministering at the altar but I then saw this one pastor finishing ministering that day and leaving his home where his wife was and he left her to meet his lover with whom he lives too!… and she was also a member of his church!

I also saw an evangelist leaving his church and a few blocks away, he went down and saw a prostitute. The same evangelist who was ministering at the altar! Oh, Lord! Please have mercy on us!

UNHOLY ACTS – self-service
After that the Lord showed me a group of youths of a church that when they leave the church, they went to a dark place because they think that the Lord is not seeing them and they got into that place and they start self-servicing and fornicating against their own bodies. And after that, they would go and minister at the altar! Presidents of youths, leaders of the church! (If you need help overcoming this sin, you can contact the address below)

UNHOLY MUSIC IN THE CHURCH
Now the Lord showed me a disco and a church and the Lord told me: “observe well” and I looked and saw that the church just looked like the disco! There was no difference! They had the same sound systems, same music, same equipment that is entering from the world into the church! The world should convert to Christianity but not the other way around. We are bringing the world into the church! Also I have to tell you this: We cannot praise and worship God with Reggaeton, with Bachaton or Rock. Even today there are Christians songs that are being sung to God and then to the world, using the very same words! They don’t mention God but only mention the word ‘love’.

I also saw Rap music and Perreo in the church and that is unacceptable. The Bible says that we must worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (for true worship see Col 3,16 & John 4, 23-24) ….. Rock is satanic and it was invented in hell. Pastors and evangelists, please get that Cursed music out of the churches!!!

The Lord then showed me the musicians that are so perverted. They are singing in the church on one hand, then they make contracts to sing even in restaurants as private musicians; they go to church to praise the Lord! Let me tell you: that music the Lord doesn’t accepts and please excuse me I must tell you the truth. What is from God is holy and separated for God and God alone. And what those musicians do today, they go, sing at the church, then they disappear from the service, because they look like they are playing to God as a contract, so they think they don’t need to be there for the rest of the service, they leave early. At that moment, the Lord told me “unfortunately, that type of church will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”

At this point, are you ready to surrender your life to Jesus Christ and start a new life in Him? Do you want to rededicate your life to Him so you will not perish with this world?

Genesis 34:31, "But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”

We tend to term or tag a harlot or prostitute to a woman who usually has sex with different men for money. But the reality is that, being a prostitute is far more than being a street or hotel sex worker. From the light of the Word of God, in the sight of God, a woman can be a prostitute or harlot without being a regular sex worker or without having sex for money; a woman can be a confirmed Prostitute and still looks and behaves decent, and still be a serious or zealous Christian woman, she can even be a minister or a minister's wife. It is a limited and inadequate insight and knowledge of people that see only women standing beside the road or hotel as prostitutes.

There are different types of harlots or prostitutes, and they are of different levels, but before God, all are seen as harlots. Let's see some other types of harlots apart from the regular sex workers:

(1) HARLOT BY GARMENT
Genesis 38:15, "When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot"

You can be registered as a harlot in heaven simply by the way you dress. You don't need to become an active sex worker, you don't need to commit a single sexual immorality with a man before Heaven will recognize you as a prostitute and remove your name from the Book of Life; in fact you can be a virgin but still a heavenly recognized harlot. How does that happens? It happens simply by what you wear and how you wear what you wear. If you wear low-cut dress or low necklines including ball gowns that exposes your cleavage, meaning, that shows the upper part, little trace of your breasts when you bend down, you are a harlot. You don't need to be half naked before you become harlot by garment, but as long you wear any clothing that reveals your cleavage a little, you are a harlot.

Also if you wear tight clothes that shows the anatomy of your body to the world as to show your shape, you are a harlot; if you wear transparent or perforated clothing that shows your inner-wears, you are a harlot; if you wear any dress which does not covers your arms or your kneels, you are a harlot. This may be hard to take but a spiritual reality for holy standard of the heaven minded.
You can be a pastor, a minister, deaconess; you can speak in tongues of angels, you can sing like angels, whoever you are or claim to be does not matter, but to God, you are a decent harlot. If this is too hard for you to take, you can wait until you get to the gate of heaven, only that will be too late, and I will not advise you to wait that too late. There will be surprise on the rapture day and in heaven, when our identities are declared to us, and we may say, "Lord, I am not a harlot, and never be one"

As a Christian woman, what will be your reason before God for wearing clothing that exposes your cleavage? How will you defend your motive of wearing tight, transparent, perforated and short dress?

(2) HARLOT BY GETTING
Genesis 38:21, "Then he asked the men of that place, saying, “Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?” And they said, “There was no harlot in this place.”

A harlot is a woman who gives sex to a man in order to get something back; so if you, as a woman, give sex to get a job, you are registered harlot in heaven, even if it is once. If you, as a woman, allow a man to sleep with you because of promotion at work, because you want to retain your job, because you want to get contract, because of your schooling, because of favor- you are a heavenly recognized prostitute. Prostitution is giving sex in exchange for something, it doesn't matter if it is money or not, and it doesn't matter if it is just once or forever.

Here is the is the terrifying truth: Whatever you have gotten by allowing men to sleep with you - even if those things were supposed to be your right, but as long as you allowed man to sleep before you got it through, you are a harlot - the job, certificate, etc are dividends of your harlotry, and the salary, profit, whatever you are getting as a result are wages of a harlot. The most terrific matter here is that, if you are giving tithes, offerings from the wages you got through harlotry, you are only waging serious judgment of God against your life and eternity, because God warned that no wages of harlotry should be brought into His house.

Here is the word of God in Deuteronomy 23:18, "You shall not bring the wages of a harlot or the price of a dog to the house of the Lord your God for any vowed offering, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God."

Your pastor can collect your tithes and offerings, your prosperity pastors can say anybody can bring tithes, but you are only doing yourself havoc if you are in such category. To have the mercies of God, you need to repent, open up and confess, then do necessary restitution.

(3) HARLOT BY GIVING
Genesis 34:31, "But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”

If you are in marital relationship, and you commit premarital sex, in a way of giving your love or promise to the man, you are a harlot. Premarital sex in a marital relationship is only an act of harlotry. In the book of Genesis 34, a man called Shechem loved Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he slept with her, even though he had not married her; when her brothers heard it, they were angry and said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?” - Only a prostitute will be sleeping with a man before marriage, that is what the brothers meant.

If a man is asking a woman for premarital sex in a relationship, he is only addressing the woman as a prostitute, taking her to be a prostitute; and if a woman is allowing a man to sleep with her in a marital relationship, she is only presenting herself to be a harlot. So the same man who has been sleeping with her can think and decide tomorrow that he doesn't want to marry her again, and why? "She is a harlot" But you are the same man who has been sleeping with her. The man answers, "Yes, I know, but I am not her husband yet, it only proves she is a harlot."

If you had premarital sex before you got married, and you covered it up, you need to repent NOW and realize your sin. Then you will need to confess to the necessary people: your parents, your pastors, including the pastor who joined you together. If you think it is a past matter and no need to confess to the necessary people, you are only embalming your past sin, and enlisting yourself as a harlot in hell.

Take or give, a woman who has extra-marital sex is also a harlot, even if it was once or it was in past; until she confesses to her husband, she is still a prostitute in God's eyes. But as long as such a woman has repented and confessed to her husband, she is as clean as a virgin before God, because when we repent and confess, God is always faithful to forgive and cleanse us, and never remember again our sins as long as don't go back.

AND WHAT ABOUT MEN?
So, what about men who have who ask or commit premarital sex or extra-marital sex, are they also harlots or what should we call them? The same thing is applicable to men, a man who commit premarital sex is a fornicator and a man who commits extra-marital sex is an adulterer. The solution to settle the matter is not a matter of saying, "I don't do it again and I have asked to forgive me" Such a man will need to repent, confess to God and to his wife, to one another as the case may be. If you, as man, has asked a woman for premarital or extra-marital sex, after you have repented, you will need to apologize to the woman for the "evil asking"

Hebrews 13:4, "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge."
This message is not meant to condemn us, but it is to correct us so that we will not be condemned with the world at the end. Let us make the necessary amendment.

1 Corinthians 11:31, 32, "For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. 32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world."

THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Joshua 1:8, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

In this era of increasing knowledge, there are several types of rules and keys for success, both biblical and non-biblical. And because we all desire success, we do not relent to seek for means to succeed. As anyone would seriously desire formula for success, Joshua was; he just succeeded Moses in the leadership of the nation Israel. He was assuming an awesome responsibility in taking command of two-and-half million people. If anyone needed a formula for success, Joshua did. What comfort and assurance it must have been as the Lord Himself spoke to Joshua and gave him the master key to success – meditating upon God’s Word. Joshua was to meditate upon the Word of God day and night, meaning at all the time, and he was promised good success by so doing.

The same formula is applicable and available for us today as we desire success spiritually, physically, financially, martially, etc. Our success in life is underneath the Word of God, and by searching deep into the Word of God, we discover our desired success. We are to read it, but not just reading; we are to meditate upon reading it by repeatedly and prayerfully thinking about it in order to gain a better understanding and apply it into our daily living. This is the key to success in Christ Jesus. Any success outside the Word of God only leads to sorrow. Read your Bible every day, reason with it every time and reason through it in every situation.

Psalm 119:9, “How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word.”

Why Did God Create Marriage?
Marriage is meant for more than mutual comfort; we must see it as a word picture of the divine relationship between God and His people.
By Gary Thomas

There's an old rabbinical story about how the spot was chosen for God's holy temple. Two brothers worked a common field and a common mill. Each night they divided whatever grain they had produced and each took his portion home.

One brother was single and one was married with a large family. The single brother decided that his married brother, with all those kids, certainly needed more grain than he did, so at night he secretly crept over to his brother's granary and gave him an extra portion. The married brother realized that his single brother didn't have any children to care for him in his old age. Concerned about his brother's future, he got up each night and secretly deposited some grain in his single brother's granary.

One night they met halfway between the two granaries, and each brother realized what the other was doing. They embraced, and as the story goes, God witnessed what happened and said, "This is a holy place—a place of love—and it is here that my temple shall be built." The holy place is that spot where God is made known to His people, "the place where human beings discover each other in love."

Marriage can be that holy place, the site of a relationship that proclaims God's love to this world.

The reasons for marriage
The early church fathers recognized that the analogy of reconciliation is the highest aim of marriage, pointing as a sign to the union of Christ with His church. Paul explores this theme in his letter to the Ephesians (5:22-33).

One of these early thinkers, Augustine (A.D. 354-430), suggested that there are three benefits of marriage: offspring, faith (fidelity), and sacrament. Of the three benefits, he clearly points to the latter (sacrament) as the greatest. This is because it is possible to be married without either offspring or faith, but it is not possible to be (still) married without indissolubility, which is what a sacrament points toward. As long as a couple is married, they continue to display—however imperfectly—the ongoing commitment between Christ and His church. Thus, simply "sticking it out" becomes vitally important.

Knowing why we are married and should stay married is crucial. This will lead us into a discussion brilliantly argued by Maryland pastor C.J. Mahaney in an audiotape series on marriage titled According to Plan. The key question is this: Will we approach marriage from a God-centered view or a man-centered view? In a man-centered view, we will maintain our marriage as long as our earthly comforts, desires, and expectations are met. In a God-centered view, we preserve our marriage because it brings glory to God and points a sinful world to a reconciling Creator.

More than seeing marriage as a mutual comfort, we must see it as a word picture of the most important news humans have ever received—that there is a divine relationship between God and his people. Paul explicitly makes this analogy in his letter to the Ephesians. You've probably read these words (or heard these words quoted) dozens, if not hundreds, of times: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to Himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless" (Ephesians 5:25-27).

In fact, both the Old and New Testaments use marriage as a central analogy—the union between God and Israel (Old Testament) and the union between Christ and His church (the New Testament). Understanding the depth of these analogies is crucial, as they will help us determine the very foundation on which a truly Christian marriage is based. If I believe the primary purpose of marriage is to model God's love for His church, I will enter this relationship and maintain it with an entirely new motivation, one hinted at by Paul in his second letter to the Corinthians: "So we make it our goal to please Him" (2 Corinthians 5:9).
What makes God happy?

Paul answers a lot of questions for us when he says, "We make it our goal to please Him." When something is the motive force behind all we do, it becomes the driving force for every decision we make. And Paul is crystal clear: The first question we should ask ourselves when doing anything is, "Will this be pleasing to Jesus Christ?"

The first purpose in marriage—beyond happiness, sexual expression, the bearing of children, companionship, mutual care and provision, or anything else—is to please God. The challenge, of course, is that it is utterly selflessliving; rather than asking, "What will make me happy?" we are told that we must ask, "What will make God happy?" And just in case we don't grasp it immediately, Paul underscores it a few verses later: "Those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again" (2 Corinthians 5:15).

I have no other choice as a Christian. I owe it to Jesus Christ to live for Him, to make Him my consuming passion and the driving force in my life. To do this, I have to die to my own desires daily. I have to crucify the urge that measures every action and decision around what is best for me. Paul is eloquent regarding this fact: "We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body" (2 Corinthians 4:10).

Just as Jesus went to the cross, so I must go to the cross, always considering myself as carrying around "the death of Jesus" so that His new life—His motivations, His purposes, His favor—might dominate in everything I do.

Pleasing God through marriage
This reality calls me to look at my spouse through Christian eyes: "So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view ..." (2 Corinthians 5:16a). The reason is clear: "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (5:17). Part of this new identity is a new ministry, one that is given to every Christian, as it is inherent in the person of Jesus Christ: "All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation" (5:18).

Think about this. The very nature of Christ's work was a reconciling work, bringing us together again with God. Our response is to become reconcilers ourselves. C. K. Barrett defines reconciliation as "to end a relation of enmity, and to substitute for it one of peace and goodwill."

Clearly Paul is talking about carrying the message of salvation. But we cannot discuss with any integrity the ending of "a relation of enmity" and the dawning of "peace and goodwill" if our marriages are marked by divorce, fighting, and animosity. Everything I am to say and do in my life is to be supportive of this gospel ministry of reconciliation, and that commitment begins by displaying reconciliation in my personal relationships, especially in my marriage.

If my marriage contradicts my message, I have sabotaged the goal of my life: to be pleasing to Christ and to faithfully fulfill the ministry of reconciliation, proclaiming to the world the good news that we can be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. If my "driving force" is as Paul says it should be, I will work to construct a marriage that enhances this ministry of reconciliation—a marriage that, in fact, incarnates this truth by putting flesh on it, building a relationship that models forgiveness, selfless love, and sacrifice.

The last picture I want to give the world is that I have decided to stop loving someone and that I refuse to serve this person anymore, or that I have failed to fulfill a promise I made many years before. Yet this is precisely the message many Christians are proclaiming through their actions. According to pollster George Barna, self-described "born-again" Christians have a higher rate of divorce than unbelievers (twenty-seven percent to twenty-three percent). Those who adopt the label "fundamentalist Christian" have the highest divorce rate of all (thirty percent). We can't carry a message well if we don't live it first.

I know there are exceptions. But one of the reasons I am determined to keep my marriage together is not because doing so will make me happier (although I believe it will); not because I want my kids to have a secure home (although I do desire that); not because it would tear me up to see my wife have to "start over" (although it would). The first reason I keep my marriage together is because it is my Christian duty. If my life is based on proclaiming God's message to the world, I don't want to do anything that would challenge that message.

DISCIPLE OF CHRIST OR CHURCH MEMBER?
Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”

Jesus Christ gave us the command to make disciples of all nations, which is what the Great Commission is all about. But the difference is the case in our churches today. People are focused on making members for their different denominational churches in the name of working for God. But if you look closely to the Master’s commandment, He didn’t say, “Make church members of all the nations” He said, “make disciples of all the nations” Matthew 28:19.

There is a clear difference between making disciples and making church members; there is a crystal clear difference between being a Christ’s disciple and being a church member. You can be a certified, recognized and appreciated church’s member, who is well known in the church, did all sorts of New Covert’s, Believers or Membership trainings, and yet you are not a disciple of Christ. You can go through all these “so called” workers trainings, ministers trainings or Pastoral trainings and yet you are not a disciple of Jesus Christ, you can be so committed into your church, that most of your time and money are spent on different church’s activities, programs and services, and you are not a disciple of Jesus Christ. You can be devoted to your church as a member, as a worker, as a leader, minister or pastor and yet not a disciple of Christ Jesus.

The Great Commission Jesus Christ gave to us is, “Make disciples of all nations” But the devil has deceived us and turned it to “make church members of all nations”. That is the reason you see every denominations struggling to have large number of members that is the reason you see them everywhere, every street, they want to have their own denominational branches or assemblies or parishes, whatever name they call them.

Think about it, if a church or a Pastor says they want to create another branch or parish in a particular street, is it because there are no existing biblical churches in that particular location? If the motive is that all or most denominations in the area are unbiblical and teaching errors, that is good. But they create their new branches there and preach and teach the same thing. They don’t care about that, their mission and focus is to make members from every street, every town, city and state, but not necessary in every village. Because they are not after the mission of making disciples, they only want to make members for their denominations.

You will see in a particular street where different denominational churches are staying side by side. You will see a two, three storey building of different denominations on each floor, the ground floor is denomination A, the first floor is another denomination of B, and second floor is a different Pentecostal denomination C. When church A is doing Sunday School, church B who does not do Sunday School in her denomination will be doing heavy Praise Worship with loud shouts and instruments, and church C will be having a “fireful” and prophetic moment of prayer; all at the same time with their speakers loud enough so as not to be overshadowed and suppressed by the other church. Everything will be boiling in the air, in the name of serving God? This is because they are looking for members not disciples. It is confusion; it may be seen as united confusion, friendly confusion or prophetic confusion; whatever name we call it, such is confusion and God is not an Author of confusion.

Every church wants to have the largest congregation, many branches or parishes and many rich people, all in the name of the Lord. Competition and rivalry among denominations all in the name of the Lord.

It’s a terrible thing in the Christianity of today that the devil has turned the Great Commission to the great competition. The devil has diverted and deceived pastors and churches to think and believe that making church members, creating more parishes or branches are as the same as making disciples. You see more denominations and more parishes of churches today, and at the same time you see more sins, more evil, more competitions, and more immorality. Why? Because most of these pastors and their churches are only making members not disciples. Anybody can be a member, but a not a disciple.

Anybody can be a worker, an ordained minister of a church. Is it not to be regular, committed and do their different classes? But it takes those who are genuinely saved, regenerated, who have forsaken their sins and living new life in Jesus to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ. John 8:10, 11, 31, 32.

THE DIFFERENCE IS CLEAR!
There are clear differences between a church members and a disciple of Jesus Christ:

A disciple of Christ is somebody who genuinely comes to Jesus Christ for the salvation of his soul and eternal life and keeping following Him for the bread of life. John 6: 63-67. But a church member may have other purposes like problem solving, prosperity, prophecies, healing, etc.

A disciple of Christ is somebody who come to Jesus and repent from all his sins, forsake them and continuing in the Word of God. Acts 14:21,22. A church member does not necessarily need to be genuinely saved; they may just answer altar call and be committed and faithful to the church ordinances. Are you a disciple or a church member?

To make disciples, Christ, and Him alone must be preached with the sole aim of leading people to salvation in Christ and helping them to grow and live in holiness, truth and righteousness, and to make heaven. To make members, no need of priority of genuine repentance, salvation, restitution and holiness of life, just preach what will attract people in the name of Jesus. If your purpose is to make people get to heaven, it’s not a must to make them members of your church. You can have thousands members in your church and none of them is a disciple of Christ. The population of a church is not in proportion to the spiritual value of that church. The number of the members in a church is not in any proportion to the number of Christ’s disciples in that church.

ANYTHING GOES!
Many pastor and church is looking for numerical growth today, they want to make members of every nation, every city and every street, and they are ready to preach and perform anything, ready to change any standard to have this dream of mega church come through.

Some denominations say their vision is to have their denominations at every corner of every street and to make members for their denominations from every family. That is a human and personal ambition and not Christ’s ambition. It’s an idea generated from personal ambition to build personal empire not the kingdom of God. You see, there are some things that you don’t need to speak in tongues or have the gift of prophecy before you know if they are biblical or not; all you need to do is to check the Word of God and compare them with the Scriptures that doesn’t change. Jesus said, “make disciples of all nations” He didn’t say, “make your church members of all nations” The only means such denominations can justify their visions or missions is if they claim and prove that their church is the only biblical church through which people can get to heaven and through their church alone people can become disciples of Christ. But if you don’t believe your church is the only church recognized by God and that not all your church’s member are real disciples of Christ, then you don’t need to have your church’s member in every family and at every corner. Christ’s mission is to have His disciples in every family not in your own denomination, except if you believe only your church members are Christ’s disciples in the world.

Most of the missions in the ministries today are selfish, self ego generated missions. Pastors are just building their own empires in the name of God. Pastors are seeking their personal glory in the name of working for God. They are using you to fulfill their own ambition and personal agenda, to boost their personal ego in the name of working for God. They want to have large congregations; they want to have the biggest church auditoriums – multibillionaire, so that it will be written at the back of their books – for that, they are ready to swear on both Testaments, to say anything with God’s name to convince you.

SOME UN-BIBLICAL METHODS OF MAKING AND MAINTAINING MEMBERS
(1) Membership Certificate
Most pastors and their churches today are using various strategies to make and maintain members. Some even go to the point of making their church members to have membership certificate. That is funny. They may tell you, “If you don’t go through our membership class and have certificate, you are not a bona fide member of this church” there are different classes in different churches today, to promote holiness and maintain old standards or maintain members? You wonder why you didn’t hear such things among our founding fathers of faith. Well, you can certify somebody as a genuine member of your church, right? You can be certified by your pastor or General/Senior Pastor as a genuine member but you may not be part of the Disciples of Christ. Having your name written in your church’s book does not mean your name is written in the Book of life in heaven.

Paper certificate is useless; membership certificate is immaterial to becoming disciple of Christ. It may be part of the modern system to maintain church membership. If our genuine aim is to help people to be true Disciples of Christ, there is no need making them to be your certified church members as if being recognized as a genuine member of your church has anything to do with being recognized in heaven. Only Jesus knows His own in a church, no pastor can judge by certificate the true and genuine members of Christ’s kingdom. The classes and certificates are not enough evidence to certify people as genuine disciples of God. Only God can determine His own in the public meeting, so such act is usurping God’s territory and very inadequate.

You see, in those days, our founding fathers of faith were not using all these human ideas, they only preached Jesus alone, and it was evidential in their own personal lives and the lives of the members, because the Bible says by their fruits you will know them, not by their church’s certificates or by their commitment to their church classes and activities. Being a devoted church member or minister does not imply you are a true disciple of Christ. Your church can say anything to sooth you, to make you so confident as if you are a candidate of heaven as long you come to their church, if you build your life on that, it will amount to disappointment at the end of your life.

(2) Membership Marriage
Some churches go to the point of telling their church members not to visit any other churches or marry from another church apart from their own. That is nothing but selfish ideology, not Christ’s or biblical ideas. Not all churches are biblical but that does not mean every other church apart from your own is unbiblical. How can we invite other church members to our church and we don’t want our own church members to be invited to other churches? That is not the commandment of Jesus Christ and has nothing to do with the Great Commission. Jesus says, “Do unto others as you want them to do to you” if you don’t want your church members to attend or visit other denominations, then you don’t need to invite people from other denominations too. It’s all about personal and human ambition and wisdom to make and maintain members. Except if such denomination can biblical prove that their own denomination is the only heavenly recognized church on earth and all others are fake and all their members are sinners going to hell.

Some churches don’t allow their single sisters to go and marry in another denominations, maybe they can allow their single brothers to marry from another denominations and bring the women to their church but not that their sisters would go and marry in another church and then join the church. If your ambition is for kingdom of God, not for your own personal denomination, you don’t need such smart not-biblical tactic. The Bible standard for choosing marital partner is simply “only in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 7:39. It doesn’t says, “Only in your denominational church” a selfless pastor will not care if his single members marry from his church or not, he will only care if the person is in the Lord, not necessarily in your denomination.

Teaching or persuading people to marry only in your denomination is an extra-biblical teaching, EXCEPT you are saying only your church members are in the Lord and other children of God from all other denominations are outside the Lord. You don’t justify people by the church they attend, that is an ungodly judgment, heaven doesn’t recognize any denomination and no denomination is registered in heaven, only people who are washed by the Blood of the Lamb and living daily in righteousness, truth and holiness are recognized in heaven, irrespective of your denominations. So why are we fighting, competing and dividing more and more everyday as if becoming a church member is the same with the command of Jesus Christ of becoming His true disciples and making disciples for Him? Why can’t we base on the biblical standard that by their fruits you shall know those who are truly in the Lord and not by their denominations? Why can’t we stop the great competition of making members for our churches and let’s start the Great Commission of making disciples for Christ Jesus of all nations and of all denominations?

(3) Motivational Methods
Some pastors, in the process of making more members, they changed their messages to motivational, miraculous speaking in order to sooth people. Since many people want preachers that will deceive them by telling them what they want to hear not what they need to hear. So to make many members you must make mention what the many people want to hear at many times. People want motivational messages not rebuking messages, people want prosperity messages not message of purity, people want to go to churches where they perform miracles not where they practice holiness. So many preachers have become motivational speakers; others go to the point of getting demonic powers to perform miracles. You preach prosperity, breakthrough, faith for fantastic living and to overcome problems of life, but not the faith for holy life or to overcome temptations. They preach materials blessings and business success with long life. They sweeten their messages to psych your emotion and make you scream, to motivate you in your sins not from your sin. And you feel calmed, cooled and comfortable in your sins but uncomfortable with poverty.

With these, preachers can only make members for their denominations; with these, you can only become a member of a denomination and not disciple of Christ Jesus. You can be busing preaching, praying and sacrificing in the name of serving God, but all for nothing for your eternity. If your preaching, praying and teachings are not turning people to righteousness, all your effort are baseless. The Bible says in the book of Daniel 12:3, “Those who turn many to righteousness shall shine like stars forever and ever.” That is for people who are wise not the foolish ones.

If your purpose for the ministry or God’s work is to turn people to prosperity, to business success, wealthy life, healing and miracles, you are a big looser because no eternal reward for you. Only those who turn people to righteousness are recognized and will be rewarded in heaven. You may be popular here on earth and prospered and rich, but when this world passes away, your gains also pass away. If you are a member or minister of any of church but you are not living a righteous life, you are a great looser. Imagine your offerings, sacrifices and services are waste, your effort and giving are useless. You are just busy for nothing, your pastors and church can be deceiving you to continue like that as if everything is fine with you, they can try to misinterpret the Bible to calm you; Satan can be throwing miracles into your way in the name of testimonies to make you feel as if nothing is wrong or God is okay with you, but you alone has the power to choose not to be deceived by people or satan.

PERSONAL EXAMINATION
You can examine your own life, put aside all the physical and material testimonies, the certificates, the ordained “tittles”, the position you have in and outside the church; are you a true disciple of Jesus Christ or just a church member, minister? It’s not by claiming or ordinary confession, but it’s by your fruit testified to by people. If you are not yet a true disciple of Christ, you can become one NOW. All you need is to be sincere with yourself, realize your situation and repent from all your sins both open and secret ones and ask Jesus to forgive you as you determine to forsake them. Start a simple and sincere new life in Jesus with daily Bible reading and prayer and be zealous for God’s work not a church works.

You may need to surrender your life to Jesus Christ or rededicate your life to Him and that will serve as a turn around.

THE IMMINENT RAPTURE, BE WARNED!
Do you care for the Rapture? How often do you think about the Rapture? Or rather, are you prepared for the Rapture? Better still, do you have clear understanding of what Rapture is all about? It’s unpopular topic in churches today, and so many Christians care less about it because it’s not as sweet and motivating as prosperity, breakthrough, new things, favors, blessing and earthly success.

But Rapture is a daily expectation and thought of the wise Christians while prosperity and earthly blessings are the focus for the foolish Christians. Rapture is the catching away of the saints, which will happen within seconds and any moment from now. It’s the first event of the end time advents when the angel of God will blow the trumpet, only Christians who are waiting for it, expecting it and preparing for it will make it.

The simple clarification for self-examination here is that if you are thinking, waiting, preparing or expecting prosperity, miracle or anything more than Rapture, you will not make the Rapture. Only those who earnestly, eagerly wait and prepare for His appearance more than anything else will eventually make it, just like the 5 wise virgins. Matthew 25.

Rapture is a glorious event of all generations; it’s going to be splendid, wonderful and rewarding for the saints more than any event in the history of the world. But then it will leave behind glooming, dooming and destructive reign of the Anti-Christ (666) for all who miss the Rapture.

Jesus Christ gave us the signs which will show that Rapture is very near, that should warn the wise to be more prepared. The two major signs are already present: CARE OF THIS WORLD through false preachers & GLOBAL WARMING. Read what Jesus Christ said:

CARE OF THIS WORLD, “And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:26, 27.“Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:11, 12.

The cares of this world has overcome many preachers, many churches and many Christians. It’s not just the work of the devil; it is the sign of end time. The syndrome of prosperity, breakthrough, earthly blessings, and focus on being rich, having cars, houses, big businesses, etc; the care for money, mansion, make-ups, partying, obsessing football are signs of end-time. It takes being wise to be warned.

GLOBAL WARMING & CRISIS, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.” Matthew 24:6-8.The global crisis, weapon building are not just political or matters of misunderstanding, and it’s to be naive and ignorant to see the present global warming of flooding, overheating, weather irregularities, earthquakes, etc as just scientific; but it’s a global “warning” of the eminent rapture. The physical will see it global warming, the spiritual will see it “global warning”; the fool will call it scientific but the wise calls it prophetic.

Are you ready and prepared for the rapture? You can become wise from here by repenting and totally rededicating your life to Jesus. Surrender all, be a different Christian of old, biblical standard in your family, your church, your place of work, your business, your school, everywhere. Let your primary purpose be to please God, your primary focus to make heaven and your primary expectation to be raptured. Even if you can’t remember when last your pastors preached about the Rapture and Second Coming of Jesus, you should remember Lot’s wife.

MATTHEW 24:42-44 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

....I had an accident in which I died. As death came over me, I felt everything become dark. I found myself walking through a dark tunnel, and some kind of being was taking me. While we walked in this cold and dark tunnel, I began to hear horrific screams and moans, and an intense fear was growing inside of me. I knew that, although my body was already dead, I was somehow still alive in this place.

I saw large snakes moving all around, and all the people were crying out for water. Soon we arrived at an open plateau, which had many chambers and divisions, each contained different people inside. I began to cry out with terror, begging God for mercy. "Lord, remember my life! Have mercy!" Sheer terror was gripping my soul, and my whole life was passing before my eyes. As we approached some door, I shouted again, "Have mercy on me my Lord; have mercy on me! I beg you to help me! Help me Lord!!"

We then went to a place where I saw a woman was sitting in a rocking chair. There were still terrifying moans coming from all over that place. At first, she seemed ok, but then her body transformed into a witch, and she screamed in agony, burning in flames. She begged for mercy, but the Lord said to me "The wages of sin is death, and those who arrive in this place will never get out again." (Romans 6:23)


The Lord showed me many disobedient people, many who were once part of a Christian Church. They were crying out and begging for mercy, but there was no mercy. Mercy could only be found while a person is still alive on Earth. Once people are dead, mercy cannot be reached anymore, as it says, "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27)

Jesus also showed me a place with some kind of boiling oil, and there were people suffering inside, burning in flames and trying to get out. But demons would throw them back in.

We walked until we came to a place with people that had once listened to the word of God, but never wanted to repent.

I also saw a missionary in Hell. He was there because he asked for money to open a mission in Africa, but he kept half the money for himself. Now he begs for mercy and another chance to return the money that wasn’t his. When he saw that Jesus could not help him, he cursed Jesus.

I saw people that were once inside the church praising God. Now they only cry out for mercy for their un-repented sins, they lost their chance to repent after they died. I saw pastors there who robbed tithes and offerings from their churches. They also begged to undo all their bad works, but there was no more chance.

Those who die without Jesus Christ go to hell, and those who die with Jesus Christ go to Heaven. Many people believe that dying is just stopping this existence. (Annihilationism) But at death, your real life begins, either in God’s Glory or in everlasting condemnation and shame. (Daniel 12:2) You are making that choice right now. We must all carefully meditate on where we will spend eternity. Do you want to spend eternity in Hell or in God’s glory? It’s your choice.

The Road to Hell
The Lord said, "Look at this wide street." I saw a street where a multitude of believers were walking, and they were even carrying bibles. I saw some praying and others were singing praises.

Many Christians have some hatred or bitterness in their heart toward their brothers; and may even skip church because of that brother. But when the pastor asks the church, “How many of you love the Lord?” They say "Amen!" But the Bible says that those who hate their brothers are like murders, and no murder can come in the Kingdom of Heaven. It is written, anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Matt 5:22) These brothers will deeply regret that when the Lord returns.

The Bible tells us, Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:17-18) It’s so sad when those serve the Lord, don't make it into Heaven. You need to seriously meditate on this and ask, “Am I ready for the Lord? Am I really doing the will of God? Is my life pleasing to God?” You still have time to turn your heart to God and escape Hell.

Some people don’t care about where they are going, they only want to enjoy this life. But I tell you, spending time with Jesus, not some woman is enjoying life. Spending time in the Lord's house, not a bar, that’s life. We need to ask God for Mercy for those who are still waking on the road of death and sin.

In Hell, we saw many who thought they were living holy while on Earth, but now they were just begging for mercy and another chance. My soul ached so much for them. We saw a woman who was acting like she was reading the Word of God, and preaching about John 3:16. She said: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Jesus said she was there "Because she could never forgive her husband; she never managed to forgive her husband." (Matt 6:14-15) This woman had been shepherding an evangelical church for 35 years, but now in Hell, she is begging for one more chance to forgive her husband.

The bible warns us, settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. (Matt. 5:25) and Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Matt. 5:7)

Forgiveness is something special, and that woman never forgave. After 35 years of hard work for God, she lost it all in the end. Meditate on this, and make sure you forgive all. How do you want to spend eternity?

Lying to God
It might sound crazy, but many Christians wind up in Hell because of lying. Christians often just nonchalantly lie in Church, and think nothing of it. The pastor may ask them a question, and a member just lies to them. But we must remember that a simple lie is what caused God to kill Ananias and Sapphira while in Church. (Acts 5:3-10)

If you're a lukewarm Christian, backsliding, or living a double life, bow you head right now before God, and beg for forgiveness, be willing to turn away from evil deeds. If you don't know Jesus, pray now, and ask Him for forgiveness, ask Him into your heart, accept Him as your savior.

Many of us stand before the altar of God full of pride and vainglory. Many, who sing praises to God, begin to be full of pride. Many of God's servants who preach the word, and are used mightily by God, begin to think that they are overly important? Many people who work in deliverance also get full of pride? I want to tell you that God see all, and knows your heart.

We continued walking until we arrived at some a kind of waiting room. We saw a demon that was shouting, and other demons were presenting themselves before him. Two of them were in the form of beautiful women. Their job was to destroy ministries, and lead ministers into sin. Those who serve the Lord, must be careful of satan’s traps. satan wants to destroy your life, and he can use those people who are close to you, those who do not walk close to Jesus. They can be instruments of satan.

satan also has demons that are disguised as men. They go into churches in search for young ladies and even married women, to lead them into sin, destroying marriages and lives.

Children in Hell
Even today, I still feel pain and terror in my soul when I remember that there are even young children in Hell. I saw some between the ages of 12 and 14 years old. They also regret many things they did while on earth. Many Christians ignorantly say that children can never be lost, because they are so young. But I tell you, if a child can distinguish between good and evil, and they are not walking in the ways of the Lord, they also can arrive in that place of torment. (Prov. 22:6)

In the bible it says "I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.” (Rev. 20:12) All persons that can comprehend between good and evil will have to stand before the Lord; nothing is hidden from the eyes of the Lord.

We continued walking until we came to a place that was similar to stadium. There were demons there laughing at lost souls. They were mocking them, and tormenting those who were made in God's image.
The people there desperately thirst for water, but there is none. They regret even the day they were born. But the worst feeling is for those who knew Jesus, but then walked away from Him. If you have walked away from Jesus, if you no longer follow His ways, today is the day to come back! Don't be ashamed of what your friends or anyone else may say.

You must know that just because you claim to be a Christian, you can still be unclean before God, if you keep sinning. I was personally being used by God, but still had vainglory in my heart. (Matt 7:21-23) There is still time to repent and renew your heart and mind.

If you're a lukewarm Christian, backsliding, or living a double life, bow you head right now before God, and beg for forgiveness, be willing to turn away from evil deeds. If you don't know Jesus, pray now, and ask Him for forgiveness, ask Him into your heart, accept Him as your Lord.

It is time for you to run to the presence of God; and look for salvation. Do not look for a church that makes you feel good; look for a church where the Spirit of the Lord moves and repent of all your sins! It is time for deep repentance; time to cry out to the Lord and run to Jesus. If you have sins that you haven't stopped, your soul is in DANGER, because the Bible says that Jesus will come as a thief in the night, (1 Thess. 5:2) Are you ready or not?

My dear friend, why will you go to hell because of the pursuit of this world or because of the pressure of this world? Because of position of this world? Because of popularity, ego, fame or possession of this world? Do you want to play so silly and be fooled by Satan that you will live how many years on earth and spend more than 1 billion years in torment of demons and devil forever? You don't want to face the shame of men so you ignore restitution but you are ready to face the shame of demons? You don't want human, temporal pain but you are ready to suffer demonic and eternal pain?

Is it because of money? What will you gain this life that you will loose your soul forever and ever and ever and ever, never to see light, never to see joy, peace; ever thirsty and never get a drop of water, urine or sweat to drink? And you want to be that silly because of this present passing world? WHAT WILL JUSTIFY YOUR GOING TO HELL?

SO YOU URGENTLY NEED TO TOTALLY SURRENDER ALL TO JESUS NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Dear Christian, you have the knowledge of God, but where are you standing? You are a Christian and sinner at the same time, you are God fearing and ungodly at the same time, you are up and down, hot and cold Christian and worldly. You think those things do not matter? Satan is telling to bother less about your eternity, that "it is by God's mercy, so till then" Don't you know that you need to settle and surrender all now? You want to cover the sin, postpone the restitution, keeping doing that because your pastor does not against it? You dont want to face the shame? You need to be wise and surrender before Satan will waste youin hell after all your knowledge and service unto God!

Beloved, you have experienced salvation and serving God, but that little stain of unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, hated, care of this world, that little lie, anger, etc will now take you to hell after all your spiritual experiences and service to God? Will you be that fool?

Let's settle all now before it is too late. People are dying everyday without notice, Some people were on facebook last month, read our messages, but rejected, postponed and died. Now, no single second for a second chance. Will you allow that to happen to you? Rapture can happen any second from now and what will be your portion? Why now settle everything now?

ATTEMPT TO HELP GOD
"And when they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled. Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God. " 1 Chronicles 13:9-10

God is Almighty and All-powerful, All-sufficient and Self-existent God who lives from everlasting to everlasting. He sees all things, knows all things at the same time. He is the Helper of all and needs no help from anyone, and from Him flows all goodness and blessings. For a human being or any being to attempt to help this Almighty God is a terrible mistake and sin, because it is an act of despising, dishonoring, and reducing God to a person who needs help. Attempting to help God is a terrible mistake of all time, and that was what Uzza did, he saw that God's Ark was about to fall and he decided to help God hold it back despite the fact that God had lay down instructions on who to touch or carry the Ark. God was angry with Uzza and He struck him to death.

How People Attempt To Help God Today
Many are acting like Uzza today. In your personal life, you attempt to help God after you are trusting God for a blessing and then take ungodly means to help get or fast track the blessing. When you are trusting God for a particular job, contract, position or provision and you know God has been working it out for you all along, but it gets to a point, due to some circumstances and challenges, it seems the blessing may not get to you; so to avoid further delay or disappointment, you have to commit a little sin to make things work out. Then you go ahead to testify of the goodness of God. That is the terrible sin of helping the Almighty God.

God promised you provision, a promotion, a position or a partner, and He was working it out all along, but along the way it got stuck as if it would never succeed or come to pass if you don't commit a little sin to help things work, if you don't tell little lie, if you don't reduce your age to get the job or appointment, if you don't adjust your information to get the papers and document done, if you don't compromise to keep the job or the possession, if you don't permit per-marital sex to keep the relationship, if you don't please people to get their favor, if you don't give the bribe to complete the process. "Look, everything will fall apart except you do something now, you can't say you trust God and fold your hands here, heaven helps those who help themselves. If you don't do this, you will miss everything, the life time golden opportunity.

"There is nothing wrong doing it, it is just to help what God has promised and started in your life, everything works together for God's glory, He understands." That is what Satan and people around you will suggest to you in such situation, even believers, even pastors. But it's left to you to either trust God fully and let His will be done in your life or you turn foolish like Uzza in attempt to help God to perfect what He started in your life.

When God promises or proceeds something in your life, you must trust Him to perfect it. When things gets tough and stocked or stopped along the way, just keep trusting God, don't lean on your understanding, don't be foolish like Uzza in the name of helping things out. Don't follow the multitude of ungodly counsel. God who promised, who started the good work will surely perfect it in His own way, with a better one even if the one you expected does not work; it is a test of your faith, God want to see if you really love and trust Him like Abraham who gave his Isaac, and like David who refused to kill Saul to help God's plan come to pass in his life. When we trust God with all our hearts, He turns disappointment to reappointment.

If you are a child of God, you need to answer two these questions:
(1) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

(2) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?

"For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:31, 35, 38-39.

Prayer
LORD God, You are our Father, our Redeemer and our Helper, help us to trust and look unto You always for help. LORD, help us to reject ungodly suggestions and benefits; no matter the condition, to trust You always, no matter the trials or threats. We ask in Jesus name. Amen

WHY MANY CHRISTIANS OFTEN RISE AND FALL (A Must Read).
A child of God falling back into sinful habits or lukewarmness is as a result of two major things: Careless and prayerlessness. If a child of God goes back into a particular old sinful nature or become lukewarm and cold again, it is not because he was not saved at the first instance, it is not because he has not been delivered from those sinful habits after he dedicated his life to Jesus, and it is not because Christian life is meant to be a rising and falling thing; It is due to one’s carelessness and prayerlessness.

CARELESSNESS
1Corinthians 10:12, “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall”

When you are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ or when you rededicate your life to Jesus to start better, He sets you free from sinful habits and gives you His grace and Spirit, but you need to take heed – that is being watchful, so that you don’t fall back into sin and become lukewarm later. Carelessness comes into Christian life through different means:

(i) Overconfidence: You become overconfident when you, knowing by the Word of God and by the warning of the Holy Spirit that something may lead to sin, but too confident in yourself that you will, "take care of the situation" and that it will not lead you to sin. It is a subtle deception of Satan, and against the Word of God which warns us to always take heed. Staying or moving close to the spot of sin, and being confident that you will not fall into sin is overconfidence of carelessness.

Overconfidence has no backing of God's grace; it simply means you are on your own, because it is against God's warning and word. Many have fallen because of self confidence of "Nothing will happen, I am not a baby Christian." And when something happen it become hard to say something.

(ii) Little Foxes: other forms of carelessness are little foxes. “Take us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.” Song of Solomon 2:15. This is a common carelessness that we all need to daily watch against. They are casual habits but cause lots of destructions, they are simple but they sink several Christian fervent faith. Little foxes in Christian life are Inconsistent Bible reading, over-talking, unbecoming jesting and exaggeration in expression, getting involve in worldly stuffs like worldly dress, makeup, worldly friendship, watching worldly movies, listening to worldly music which cannot edify your soul, reading romantic novels, browsing pornographic websites, looking at Unclad pictures, thinking or talking about immoral stuffs, using worldly materials, watching worldly TV shows like American Idol, African Idol, Big brother Africa, unwholesome TV Reality shows, dance competition, wrestling, etc. These habits slowly drain spiritual strength, hinder spiritual growth and the flow of the fire of Holy Spirit in one’s life, and then make a Christian spiritually week to resist temptation. Little foxes are hard to trace to one’s spiritual downfall, because they don’t cause the damage immediately, but one thing you can discover is that when you get involve in any of those habits, you feel spiritually light and empty.

PRAYERLESSNESS
1 Thessalonians 5:17, “Pray without ceasing.”
A prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian, period! You cannot stay long in your new dedicated life in Christ without consistent prayer life; you cannot grow in your Christian life without a growing prayer life, and it is biblically impossible to experience and maintain fervent Christian life without a fervent prayer life.

Prayer and Bible reading/study are the only sources of strength, and why prayer is very important is that it takes prayer to understand and apply the Word of God. It is in your daily prayer you ask for daily grace and strength. A prayerless Christian will be too weak to resist temptation of old sinful life. When the Spirit of God wakes you up at night to pray or moves you at any time to pray even you don’t plan to pray, if you fail to respond immediately, it will only leads to falling. Jesus prayed always and instructed us to pray always. In prayer, we take our spiritual weakness and challenges to God for grace and strength.

That is the reason it is mostly important to maintain daily and consistent personal quiet time, devotion. Satan can’t attack you directly, he has to first attack and distracts you on your daily devotion; when your daily devotion becomes inconsistent, and it will not take long time before you find your back on the ground again.

Ephesians 6:18, “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”

We must be watchful, vigilant and prayerful always!

1 Peter 5:8-11, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

The Number One Problem in Marriage
Open communication is essential to the life of a marriage relationship.
By Dennis Rainey

“Tap-tap . . . tap-tap-tap . . . tap-tap-tap-tap . . . tap-tap-tap . . .”
Captain Red McDaniel rapped carefully on the walls of his cell in the Hanoi Hilton, practicing the special camp code prisoners used to communicate with each other. He knew he had to be very careful.
His Communist captors wanted to keep all of their American “guests” isolated and vulnerable. Prisoners caught trying to communicate would be tortured, and McDaniel had already been through that.
As the interminable days went by, McDaniel came to fear isolation far more than the threats of torture by his Vietcong captors. The highlight of each day was being taken to the washroom, where he managed to whisper briefly with two other Americans brought in at the same time. They told him about the camp code, an acrostic system that involved using a certain number of taps (or other signals) to spell out letters of the alphabet. McDaniel recognized the code as his lifeline, his only link with sanity.

If a new prisoner couldn’t learn the code and communicate with fellow Americans within 30 days of his arrival, he would gradually start to draw inward and deteriorate. The prisoner would slowly lose the will to live. He would stop eating, and as his stomach became bloated, he would actually start to feel “fat.” Little by little, the prisoner would die alone as the strange predator, isolation, sucked his very life out of him.

At first glance, the horrors of the Hanoi Hilton seem unrelated to a marriage relationship. But in a very real way, communication is essential to the life of a marriage, just as it was essential to the lives of the prisoners. If you don’t communicate, your marriage will die.
Good, open communication is the top need in marriage. Nothing is as easy as talking; nothing is as difficult as communicating. Using words correctly and skillfully is an important part of communication, but even more important is that both husband and wife have a willingness to communicate in ways that result in deeper honesty and openness.

The great cover-up
Communicating effectively begins with discovering transparency. Transparency in marriage is described in Genesis before the fall: “The man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed” (Genesis 2:25).

Adam and Eve were without disguise or covering, without any mask. They were uncovered physically, and they did not cover up emotionally. Before the fall, Adam and Eve were a picture of true transparency—being real, open to each other, and unafraid of rejection.

But after the fall, we read, “They knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings” (Genesis 3:7). Those famous fig leaf aprons were only part of their cover-up. Sin introduced a lot more than modesty. It also brought deceit, lying, trickery, half-truths, manipulation, misrepresentation, distortion, hatred, jealousy, control, and many other vices, all causing us to wear masks.

Many people spend tremendous time and energy building facades to hide their insecurities. They are afraid that if someone finds out who they really are, they will be rejected. For many men in particular, deep and honest communication can be very threatening. Too many wives and husbands are afraid to be honest with each other.

The Scriptures, however, emphasize being open and vulnerable. Paul modeled transparency when he wrote to the Corinthians, many of whom were not exactly his admirers: “For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote you with many tears; not that you should be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you” (2 Corinthians 2:4). Paul was not afraid to weep or say, “I love you.” Jesus wept over the death of Lazarus (John 11:35) and lamented His rejection by hard-hearted Jerusalem (Luke 13:34).

At the same time, Scripture warns about being too open and honest. Solomon wrote, “When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise” (Proverbs 10:19). The familiar saying about words is not true: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” Words can hurt. They cut, rip, and wound. As Solomon also said, “There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing” (Proverbs 12:18). If you’re a spouse who uses words rashly, then you would do well to “hold your tongue.”

Many couples would improve their relationships if both partners would use words that are gentle and full of encouragement and praise. In marriage, partners need to affirm each other often.

Learning to be more open
The Bible encourages deeper communication but cautions against using it recklessly. How can you tell the difference between what is appropriate and inappropriate?

Deep communication takes most of us a long time to achieve. You or your spouse may have come from a family where open communication was discouraged or even punished. It may take years to reach a deep, satisfying level of transparency, but every couple needs to be headed in the right direction.

Just as you do when you learn and sharpen most skills, with communication you start at easier levels and work your way toward proficiency.

The fifth, or lowest, level of communication is cliché conversation, where you share nothing of substance with the other person: “Hello, how are you doing? Hot, isn’t it? Have a nice day.”
Moving up the scale a notch, level-four conversation involves reporting the facts. You share what you know but little more than that. You expose nothing of yourself and are content to report what so-and-so said or what so-and-so did.

At level three, you share your opinions—your ideas and judgments about things. You finally start to come out of your shell and reveal a little bit of who you are. You watch the other person carefully, and when you sense even the slightest question or rejection, you retreat.
Emotional sharing—what you feel—starts at level two. Here you must be careful to avoid hurting your spouse. But many marriages are in such need of sharing feelings that the risk must be taken. If you can’t share feelings with your spouse, your marriage is on superficial ground. You won’t grow, and neither will your partner.
The top level of communication is transparency—being completely open with the other person. Transparency means sharing the real you, from the heart. Level-one communication requires a deep degree of trust, commitment, and friendship.

You reserve the transparency level for your spouse and perhaps a few others who are very close to you. Becoming transparent with many people can be dangerous. For example, sharing too much of who you are with someone of the opposite sex can lead to an affair.
When spouses reach the transparency level, they operate with oneness. One can kindly say to the other, “I think you’re angry. Is there something bothering you?”

And the other can answer, “I think you're right. Maybe what is making me so mad is what my boss said to me in that meeting yesterday”

Reaching this level of meaningful communication is not easy, but the rewards far outweigh the cost. We all long deeply to be heard and understood. The most natural place for this to occur is within the safe harbor of a healthy marriage. That “safe” harbor can be created and maintained only by a couple committed to each other. At its root, love is a commitment. In marriage, it’s a covenant. First John 4:18 embodies the commitment that brings freedom: “Perfect love casts out fear.”

WHAT IS SECRET SIN?
"in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel." Romans 2:16

Secret sin occurs in the life of a person who has experienced salvation of Jesus Christ, who has confessed and repented from sins, but along the way keeps one or few sins secret. Secret sin hinders many Christians from moving forward in their spiritual growth, it blocks Christians from experiencing the power, anointing and blessings of God. Secret sin can be by an individual Christian or involve two or more Christians. Secret sin can be in a Christian family, group or church.

There are two types of secret sin: Past and present, or now and then.

PAST BUT PRESENT
....in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ. Romans 2:16.

Past but present secrets sins are some sins you committed before you gave your life to Jesus, or before you rededicated your life to Jesus, though you have repented and confessed it to God, and you have stopped it, but you are keeping it secret from men who you may need to tell. Secret sin is a sin you keep secret, even if it is in the past, even if it has stopped, but as long you keep is secret from necessary people you need to reveal it to, it is a secret sin - though it is in the past but it is presently haunting you and standing against you. As long you keep a past sin secret, what you are actually doing is that you are making it fresh and present.

It is not every sin committed in the past we must be confessing around, but there are some peculiar ones which we may deliberately cover, and have to be uncovered to some specific people or groups.

Until you open up every secret sin of the past to the necessary people, until you confess to the necessary people and put the sin and Satan to open shame, you are still under the bondage of that past sin. After you are saved, you committed sin and you rededicated your life to Jesus, then you will still have to open up to some people. For example, a premarital sex before marriage which was kept a secret, maybe to parents, pastor or Christian partners, but after getting married, you both have repented yet, you need to confess.

Listen to what Apostle Paul said, "But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God." 2 Corinthians 4:2.

From this above Bible verse, Paul did three things which every child of God must do:

1, He renounced the hidden things - those sinful and sinful things of the past were repented and rejected by Paul.

2, He manifested that truth by making it clear to men, "but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience." This is by confessing to the necessary people about the sinful and shameful things we did in the past, though we have renounced them, but we must make them clear to the right people. Many Christians are being deceived by Satan that, since they have confessed to God, no need to confess to their parents, partner, pastor, or boss; they say, "I have confessed and stopped it, so I have a pure conscience before God, and that is all." Beloved, having a pure conscience before God is good, but not enough, you need to have a pure conscience before men too. Paul said, "but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience".

3, He manifested that truth to God, "but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God." He totally repented and never gone back to such sins again, even when no man would see him, even when men would say it does not matter or it is not bad. Paul said he is now commending himself to every man's conscience in the sight of God. He knew God saw everything, and he lived in truth before God according to God's standard, not church's standard.

Until you make clear the past before God and men, your past sins are still presently fresh.

PRESENT AND PERVERTED
Another secret sin is a sin you commit and hide after you are saved, the sin you are secretly committing which you do not want people to see; but even men do not see, God sees. Anything you do secretly which you do not want people to see or hear, that you know it will not honor you if people know, that is secret sin. It may be an habit like self-service, fornication, or other sexual immorality; it may be other sins which you are committing and keeping secretly. It may also be a lifestyle which you keep secret from people, like drinking, smoking, lying, anger, jealousy, malice, etc.

If you keep any secret sin of any form, such sin will be following you till the day of judgment, it will hinder you from making the rapture, and from entering heaven. But if you open up now before God and men, then that sin will go ahead of you to judgment, it will be condemned by God's mercy and you will be justified. But as long you keep it secret because of the fear of what people will say or how they will respond, the sin continues to quietly follow you to put you to eternal shame on the judgment day.

So what is your decision? Do you want to open up and put your sins to open shame or you want to cover up and allow your sin to put you to open and eternal shame? No matter how small the sin may be, it will surely find you out on the judgment day. The choice is your!

1 Timothy 5:24, "Some men’s sins are clearly evident, preceding them to judgment, but those of some men follow later."

THE BEAUTIFUL HEAVEN AND HORRIBLE HELL
( The Summarized Testimony of an 8 Years old Girl who encountered Jesus Christ)

HEAVEN
.....we soon arrived to a place with beautiful streets, so beautiful. I have never seen or touched such things on Earth. The streets were shining! The Lord said, "My servant, touch this street of gold, because you and My people will live here, because here My people will ride very soon." I saw the reflection of the Lord and me riding together.

After that we arrived at the crystal sea, it was so beautiful. While I was riding with the Lord through that precious sea He told me, "My servant, all this is not Mine, all this is for My people. All that you can touch I have prepared it with so much love for My people." Then He said, "Servant come here, because I will show you other things."

We then arrived in a beautiful place where I could see the glory of God, and feel His Power. It was a big beautiful place. I saw many tables, so I asked the Lord, "Lord what are all these tables are for?" He said, "Servant, remember the Wedding of the Lamb, remember that on these tables we will celebrate the Wedding of the Lamb." I saw countless numbers of tables, and I could not see the end of them. There were angels at each table, so I asked the Lord, "Lord, why is there an angel at each table and at each chair?" The Lord said, "My servant, these angels are decorating the tables, these angels are getting ready each table because I am already preparing everything."

Dear brothers, those tables were so shiny, all of them were made of gold. The tables were very nicely decorated. I saw how each angel was putting on the fork, the knife, the spoon, the glasses, the dishes, all made of gold, so beautiful. The Lord told me, "Servant, tell My people to get ready because very soon I will take them with Me so they can come here and enjoy with Me in the Wedding [Marriage Supper] of the Lamb."

It was so beautiful, the presence of the Lord could be felt there, such glory and majesty! The Lord said, "Servant, come here because I will show you other things." We arrive at a place with many beautiful doors, so many beautiful doors. I said, "Lord what's behind those doors?" He said, "Behind these doors are My disciples, behind these doors are My apostles, behind these doors are all those who once walked over the Earth praising and glorifying My Name."

MARY
We began to ride again and arrive at a door that was half-opened, and the Lord said, "Servant come here, come here because behind this door is Mary. Get close and hear what she is saying, so you can go and tell My people, so you can tell the people how Mary is suffering." I got closer and saw a young lady, such a beautiful young lady, so beautiful, her face was so pretty. She was looking through a very tiny window. She was kneeling down and looking to the face of the Earth, crying with tremendous pain.

She said, "Why are you worshiping me? Why, if I do not have any power! Why are you worshiping me? I do not do anything! Do not worship me! Do not bow before me! For I cannot save you! The only one that can save, the only one that can redeem you is Jesus, who died for all mankind! Many people say that I have power, that I can perform miracles, but that is a lie! I do not do anything! Almighty God was satisfied with me and He used my womb so that Jesus could be born and save everyone, but I don't have any power. I cannot do anything! Do not bow before me! Do not worship me! For I am not worthy of worship. The only one that is worthy, the only one that you bow before and adore is Jesus! He is the only one that heals and saves!"

I could see how that young lady was in such tremendous pain, full of anguish and crying. She said, "No! No! Do not worship me! Why do you bow before me? I don't do anything!" You see dear brothers, it was a tremendous thing to look at this young lady, how she was crying with such pain and sadness.

HELL
We walked by some walls and I heard so many souls shouting, shouts of pain and anguish....I saw how those demons went up and provoked crashes, slaughters, fights, divorces and all kind of evil things. Then they would come down and reported to him everything they did. And satan would laughed and laughed. satan gave prizes to the demons, and the demons began to celebrate him, and praise him and sing for him.

I saw how satan had so many plans to destroy Christians, big plans to destroy the servants of God. I saw huge churches and congregations that were full of modernism. The Lord said, "Look servant, these churches are possessed by satan, and they won’t be able to go up with Me."

The Lord showed me how demons provoked so many killing, and all those souls would then arrive in this damnation, a horrible place. I saw a furnace, and the Lord said, "Look servant, this is the lake of fire, and this is hell."

HOLY CITY
After that we left and the Lord said, "Look, servant I will show you the Holy City, so you can go and tell My people the grandeur that I have for them." We went up and arrive at a beautiful place, where there were beautiful trees, pines so high. Everything was so beautiful there. I could feel such a sense peace.

Then we continued riding, and I saw so many beautiful butterflies and animals. The Lord said, "Servant all these things here are for My people. Tell My people that very soon, they are going to be here, riding in this holy city."

We arrive at a beautiful place that was full of angels. One angel was huge, and had a big trumpet to his mouth. I said, "Lord, that angel, what does that mean?" The Lord replied, "Look servant, this angel is waiting for a signal, this angel is waiting for an order that I give, so he can begin to sound the trumpet, and when this angel begins to play that trumpet, My people will be taken up, raised, and transformed. But be sure of one thing servant, this trumpet will be just heard by those that are watching! So go and tell My people to watch, tell to My people don’t sleep, because if you fall sleep, you won’t hear the trumpet, tell to My people to be watching, for those that are sleeping, I won’t be able to raise them up."

-- After that I saw another vision of a very bright shining clock. It was made of gold. The time shown was twelve o'clock. But I saw a hand make the clock go back to eleven o'clock. The Lord told me, "Look, My servant, I take the time back because My people are not prepared as I want them to be, I am taking the time back, that is why, because of My great mercy I am giving a last chance, so that everyone that comes to My feet shall receive eternal life"

- Jannet Balderas Canela.

As you read this revelation, open up your mind to the Spirit of Lord and surrender to the Lord Jesus Christ, do not harden your heart at this point, because that will be too dangerous. Repent, confess, accept Jesus as your Lord and begin to follow Him.

“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts.” Hebrews 4:6
