Christianity EtcYour WORK Is To Enter His Rest - Joseph Prince by jiggaz(op): 7:27am On Feb 28, 2016
Hebrews 4:10–11
…he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest...


A baby learns to sit first before he starts to stand and walk. The Christian life also begins with sitting. God “raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus”. (Ephesians 2:6) How well we walk after that depends on how well we sit and rest in the finished work of Christ.

The promised land was a land of rest where God promised His people “large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant”. (Deuteronomy 6:10–11)

But for 40 years, God’s people wandered in the wilderness because they refused to believe that God had given them a land where everything had been prepared—the work was finished. They could not believe that God had given them a land full of good things to enjoy, a land which just flowed with His abundant supply.

Today, there are believers who still cannot believe that the work of Jesus is truly complete and finished. They are trying to complete a completed work, finish a finished work and defeat a defeated devil.

There are believers today who are always working and trying to produce their healing, success and victory. God wants us to stop trying and start trusting in His love for us. He wants us to stop working and struggling, and start resting and believing in His grace toward us.

The only “work” left for us to do today is to enter His rest. We are to labor every day to enter His rest. We are to rest inwardly and believe that the work is done because it is a finished work, and trust in God’s undeserved favor toward us. We are to rest in Jesus our true ark, who will carry us through tempestuous waters.

So today, “if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts…be diligent to enter that rest”. (Hebrews 4:7, 11) Let’s enter His rest. Let’s enjoy sitting together with Christ in the heavenly places, then we will run and not be weary! (Isaiah 40:31)

Thought For The Day

How well we walk depends on how well we sit and rest in Christ’s finished work.

johnw74:
Of course he said it, why do you people always falsely accuse? I would not mentioned it had he not said it,
I emailed him and showed him that he was wrong, although he didn't accept it.
Jack Kelley was answering a question of the mother of a saved daughter, who then became a lesbian
and considered her relationship with the other woman as a marriage.
The mother was concerned that her daughter may not be saved now.
To which Jack Kelley answered:
"Once saved, you can live a life of sin, ignore the Holy Spirit, and do anything at all, and still be saved."
He said more than that along the same line.
Once saved you can do anything at all, live a homosexual lifestyle and still be saved, is rot.
You can believe me, Jack Kelley did say that.
@bold, Stop your lying, I never said what I believe,
I said what is wrong with what Jack Kelley believed.
Why are u still lying against a man of God like this? i always go to Jack Kelley's website and he is an excellent teacher of the Bible and the Holy Spirit is really using him. The Jack i know did not answer the question like that.... he didn't say you can ignore the Holy Spirit or live a life of sin when you are saved....... you are just trying to tarnish his image here... Continue, you hear me?.... on the last day, all of you attacking the message of Grace will answer to Jesus at the Bema Seat of CHRIST and explain to Him why you people are negating His Finished work on the Cross.. Continue, you hear? Jack Kelley is trying to explain that faith & belief is what is only needed for our Salvation and u just twisted the whole issue here.......
Christianity EtcRe: Tribulation Saints Versus The Church - Jack Kelley by jiggaz(op): 1:25am On Feb 27, 2016
johnw74:
jiggaz, you say once saved always saved is the Gospel of Jesus Christ
I don't say it is or it isn't
but you should be careful about what you contribute to Jesus christ.
If you think like Jack Kelley that a saved person can turn to homosexuality considering it marriage, and still be
saved, then I believe that like Jack Kelley on that matter, you are deluded.
Careful of what i contribute to Jesus CHRIST? Can u just hear yourself? I SAID IT AND I AM SAYING IT AGAIN!!!! ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED!!! So what do you think Apostle Paul was saying in all his epistles? He was telling us about the ASSURANCE of our Salvation in CHRIST!!! If you don't understand Jack Kelly's teachings, that's your own cup of tea!!! You have to understand the context he answered those questions. You need to have an open mind & also ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes while reading, to understand the message of Grace....

But wait oo, why do you people always attack the Gospel of Grace? And always condemn the men of God that preaches it?!!!!! The devil have really blinded you people!!! Listen, the Gospel of Grace is the Real Gospel!! It is the Truth that will make you reign in life just as CHRIST wants us to be!!! Look there is no BUTS in the Good NEWS else its no longer good news!!! It is either CHRIST done it or it is you that saved yourself!!! No more mixing Grace with the Law!!! Why do you people keep belittling the finished work of CHRIST on the Crosshuh!!! This is an insult to the Almighty God!! What can u do to save yourself!!!!

You called me Deludedhuh I guess you don't really know me in this section. I don't suffer fooools easily oo. Check my previous threads how i dealt with your kind. You don't want to fall into my trap, please be warned!! I no send anybody here!!! The Gospel of Grace of Jesus CHRIST has to be heard by people!!!!
Christianity EtcRe: Tribulation Saints Versus The Church - Jack Kelley by jiggaz(op): 7:58pm On Feb 26, 2016
analice107:
But brother, what about a situation where a once saved Brethren rejects faith and returns to idolatry?
Am speaking from experience.
As a matter of fact, what occasioned my believe in Christ, is a brother who raised my kid sister from the dead, when I was just 10yrs old. Until I leave this earth, I will never forget that Sunday afternoon.
But today my dear brother, that brother is worst than an atheists. I think I can likely him to the seed the sower sowed but fell among thorns, because tribulations hit him so hard, he couldn't withstand, he fell and fell very hard. He actually said, he was living in bondage as a christian. He went and married wives and drinking seriously. Anytime I think of him, I cry.
What happened through him brought my Mum and I to Christ, but he is not in Christ today. We have done everything. I mean, everything to lead him back, but no.
What do you have to say about his case? Will his salvation still be intact?
Am sorry to hear dat.... If he denounced CHRIST and stopped believing in Him, then that means he has rejected CHRIST and renounced his faith, he threw away his salvation.I pray God brings him back, its a pity, i feel for him ...... But what i am trying to say is a case where someone was zealous for the Lord at the beginning and maybe along the line, he kind of relaxed & was not vibrant again. He might even stop attending Church for some time but in His heart of heart, he still believe that CHRIST died for his sins and he still acknowledge Him as his Lord and Saviour, my brother that person is still SAVED. To men, he is not saved cos men look at the outward but to God, he is SAVED cos God looks at the heart. Salvation is not about what you do, but it is about what you Believe. It is God that keeps us to be SAVED, not ourselves.

Mind you, i don't say this because i encourage a sinful lifestyle. Far from it!!! Sin is still a big issue with God even the smallest sin. But Christ's death on the Cross changes everything for humanity. Now when a person accepts CHRIST as His Lord & Saviour, God imputes him with His righteousness that CHRIST purchased for us at the Cross..Now whenever God looks at the person, He sees CHRIST cos we are His righteousness..... But when man looks at the person, he still sees the same old person cos mankind looks at the outward while God looks at the inside. It is our Spirit that is born again not our flesh.

On the last day, there will be so many surprises cos the people u might not consider to be SAVED by human standard will enter the kingdom, there's nothing impossible for God to do. So that's why i don't judge people by their appearance or what they do cos i don't know their relationship with God.

Have a good nite bro.
Christianity EtcLife On Earth In The Millenium - Jack Kelley by jiggaz(op): 4:21pm On Feb 26, 2016
A Bible Study by Jack Kelley

Hal Lindsey once speculated that at his
judgment Satan hurled two accusations at
God. “You’re not just and You have no love.”
In past studies we have seen how God
demonstrated His perfect justice through
Israel and His perfect love through the
Church. In this study, we’ll talk about a time
in the future when both perfect justice and
perfect love will govern the lives of people on
Earth.

Israel lived under an absolutely just system of
law. It was clear and concise, made no
exceptions, and showed no favoritism. There
was blessing for obedience and punishment
for disobedience in an obvious cause and
effect relationship. What they did determined
what they got. God said to them, “Now if you
obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of
all nations you will be my treasured possession.
Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for
me a kingdom of priests and a holy
nation.” (Exodus 19:5-6 )

The Church has showcased the incomparable
riches of God’s grace. We’re the most blessed
of any group of humanity and the only thing
asked of us is that we accept by faith the free
gift of salvation, purchased in advance for us
with God’s own life. Yes, God is pleased if we
live our lives in a manner that expresses our
gratitude to Him, and rewards us for doing so,
but the only thing He requires is that we
believe in the one He has sent. Then they asked
Him, “What must we do to do the work God
requires?” He answered, “The work of God is this,
to believe in the one He has sent” ( John
6:28-29 ).

In the Kingdom Age believers will be saved by
faith, like the Church, but will be required to
keep the Law as evidence of their belief, like
Israel. I say this because it’s pretty clear that
salvation by grace through faith alone will end
with the rapture of the Church. Otherwise
there would be no need for a temple in Israel
during the Millennium, with all nations being
required to make an annual pilgrimage to
Israel to observe the Feast of Tabernacles
( Zech. 14:16-19 ). Also, Isaiah 2:2-3 says all
nations will stream to the Lord’s Temple. The
Lord will teach them His ways and they will
walk in His paths, and the Law (Torah) will go
out from Zion and the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem.

Therefore, perfect justice and perfect love will
be combined. This will be God’s final answer
to Satan and His final attempt to dwell among
His people in peace. Will it work, or like Israel
and the Church before it, will the Kingdom Age
end in failure?

We’ve only talked about Law and Grace but
there were actually four other attempts at
peaceful coexistence between God and man
leading up to them. For a complete
understanding of man’s history with his
Creator, we’ll need to review these others as
well. They’re called dispensations, or
administrations, and all together there are
seven of them.

The 7 Dispensations

Throughout history God has dealt with His
people in different ways as part of the process
of revealing His character. Each of these
dispensations has begun with an agreement
between God and man that man subsequently
violated, ending the relationship in failure and
requiring a judgment from God.

1) Innocence … Between the Creation and the
Fall of Man God interacted freely and
personally with man. Man was created
immortal and while he had agency (the power
of choice) he didn’t have a sin nature. God
placed Adam and Eve in His garden and gave
them only one restriction. They were not to
eat from the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil. But they violated this restriction and
were expelled from the Garden. Adam, Eve,
and the Serpent were all judged, the Creation
was cursed, and sin entered the world.

2) Conscience … Between the Fall of Man and
the Great Flood God allowed man’s
conscience to rule without Divine interference.
Because of man’s newly acquired sin nature,
the result of this was “the wickedness of man
was great in the earth, and every imagination of
the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually.” (Genesis 6:5 ) After repeated
warnings, God destroyed all but 8 members of
the Human race in the Great Flood.

3) Human Government … from Noah to the
Tower of Babel. After the Flood, God allowed
man to establish his first system of
government. But the people disobeyed God’s
commandment to go forth and replenish the
Earth, setting about instead to build a great
city and a tower to protect themselves from
another flood. They also used the tower to
study astrology, a corruption of the Gospel
that God had written in the stars using the
names of 12 constellations. So God gave each
of the 70 families of man a unique language
that other families weren’t able to understand.
This caused confusion and distrust among the
people and they drifted apart to be scattered
through out the world, and God destroyed the
tower.

4) Promise … God set Abraham’s
descendants apart as His Chosen People and
promised Abraham and Sarah a son through
whom He said He would bless the world. But
they grew tired of waiting for Him to keep His
promise, and produced a son on their own,
calling him Ishmael. Later, when God gave
them Isaac, the son He had promised, Ishmael
was sent away causing bad blood between
Ishmael (Arabs) and Isaac (Jews) that
continues to this day.

5) Law … from Mt. Sinai to Pentecost. After
God brought the Israelites out of Egypt, He
gave Moses the 10 Commandments and
offered the Israelites the land He had promised
to Abraham along with a life of peace and
plenty if they obeyed His Law. After 2000
years of vacillating between obedience and
rebellion that resulted in them rejecting the
Messiah, God finally had enough, expelled
them from their land, and dispersed them
throughout the world. (But not forever. The
Dispensation of Law was interrupted seven
years short of its allotted time. After the
Rapture, during the final 7 years, also known
as Daniel’s 70th Week, Israel will have one
final chance to live in obedience to God and
accept their Messiah.)

6) Grace … The Church Age. No longer
requiring that righteousness be earned
through obedience to the Law, God imputed
His own righteousness to man by grace
through faith in the completed work of the
Lord Jesus, promising eternal blessing and a
place in His own house to all who accept. It
was the most outrageously lavish gift ever
bestowed, free for the asking. But by the end
of the Age of Grace most of humanity will
have rejected His gift, choosing instead to live
on their own terms, betting that either God
doesn’t exist, or if He does He’ll allow them
into His kingdom anyway. After removing the
relative few who have accepted His gift so
they’ll be safe with Him, He’ll punish the rest
through the most severe time of judgment
ever visited on Earth.

7) Kingdom … the 1000 Year Reign of the Lord,
also known as the Millennium. At its outset
Satan will be bound, all unbelievers will be
expelled from the planet, the curse will be
removed, and God will once again dwell in the
midst of His people. You’d think that finally
man could live in a manner pleasing to Him.
Whether he will or not is the subject of our
study.

Who Are You Calling A
Failure ?


Some in the Church might question the view
that the Age of Grace has been a failure, but
that’s because we’re among the few who have
accepted the Lord’s free gift of pardon and will
therefore enjoy its benefits. Remember, God’s
desire is to reconcile us to Himself
( Colossians 1:19-20 ). He doesn’t want for
any to perish, but for all to come to
repentance ( 2 Peter 3:9 ). And yet over the last
2,000 years most people have turned down
His gift and gone their own way. After doing
everything He could, short of violating man’s
free will and forcing him to accept the pardon
He offered, most of mankind will have rejected
Him. Can you blame Him for being so angry
as to unleash the full fury of His wrath against
them?

Even in the Church, the response to God’s gift
of eternal Life has been more apathy than
adoration. When less than 10% of people who
claim to be born again have adopted a Biblical
world view, it’s clear that there’s been a
serious disconnect between His gift and our
gratitude. When compared to God’s desire the
Age of Grace has been a failure.

This is no more of a surprise to God than the
outcome of His previous attempts. He doesn’t
do things so He can see how we’ll respond.
He already knows that. He does things so we
can see how we’ll respond. Paul said every
thing that was written in the past was written
to teach us. (Romans 15:4 ) So far the lesson
has been that no matter what God has done to
draw us near, man is untrustworthy and
rebellious, pushing God away and bringing
judgment upon himself as a result.

Now For The Kingdom

Before we go on, let’s remind ourselves that
the Church will be in the New Jerusalem
during the Millennium and not on Earth. The
people on earth will be Israel and surviving
Gentiles from the Great tribulation, all
believers, who will populate the nations. Still
being in their natural state, they’ll soon be
joined by the children they will bear.

OK, so what about the Kingdom Age, will it be
a failure too? A study of the Kingdom Age
shows that at the beginning, life will be as
close to heaven on earth as one could
imagine. There will be peace on Earth and
goodwill toward men, just like the angel
promised to the shepherds on the night of the
Lord’s birth (Luke 2:14 ). The creation, freed
from the bondage of the curse, will be
responding eagerly to mankind’s husbandry,
with harvests so plentiful that it will be time
for planting a new crop before they can finish
bringing the old crop in (Amos 9:13 ). Perfect
weather and overflowing bounty will make
work a joy instead of a burdensome toil. Long
life spans will return as sickness and disease
again become rare occurrences ( Isaiah
65:20 ). “Once again men and women of ripe old
age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each with
cane in hand because of his age. The city streets
will be filled with boys and girls playing
there” (Zech. 8:4-5 ). This will be true
throughout the world because the Lord will
settle all disputes between the nations. They
will not take up arms against each other, nor
will they even train for war anymore ( Isaiah
2:4 ). Every man will sit under his own vine and
under his own fig tree and no one will make them
afraid ( Micah 4:4 ).

The Bible only mentions one Temple in the
Millennium. It will be in Israel and daily
sacrifices will again be the norm, administered
by the Levitical priesthood. The Millennial
Temple will be quite different from the
historical Temples. There will be no incense
altar, no menorah, no ark of the covenant, and
no wash basin. The veil between the Holy
Place and the Holy of Holies will be replaced
by a wooden screen, and the entire interior will
be covered in wood rather than gold, as in
former temples. Of the Levitical feasts, they
will celebrate only Passover (no lamb),
Unleavened Bread, and Tabernacles, with
world wide representation only required for
Tabernacles (Ezekiel 40-46 ). Although the
Bible doesn’t say this, I imagine the rest of the
world will utilize some form of the synagogue
system of worship, first developed by Ezekiel
during the Babylonian captivity and still in use
today.

We’re only given glimpses of the beginning
and end of the Kingdom Age, but because of
the shocking difference in the two, we can
surmise that after a period of time things start
going downhill fast. The Lord’s administration
will be just but inflexible. He’ll rule them with a
rod of iron and His punishment for
disobedience will be harsh and swift. For
example, nations who refuse to participate in
the annual Feast of Tabernacles will not
receive any rainfall (Zech. 14:16-19 ).
But natural man has a sin nature and will
eventually rebel against the Lord’s
rule. Psalm 2 tells the story.

Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot
in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together against the LORD
and against his Anointed One.
“Let us break their chains,” they say, “and throw
off their fetters.”
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord
scoffs at them. Then he rebukes them in his
anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, “I
have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.”
( Psalm 2:1-6 )

Once again created beings will presume to
free themselves from the rule of their Creator.
But the King ruling the Earth was put there by
God Himself, and that makes Him the King of
their kings. Then He’ll remind them of their
position in the hierarchy.

I will proclaim the decree of the LORD : He said to
me, “You are my Son; today I have become your
Father. Ask of me, and I will make the nations
your inheritance, the ends of the earth your
possession. You will rule them with an iron
scepter; you will dash them to pieces like
pottery.”

Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you
rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and
rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be
angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his
wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all
who take refuge in him. ( Psalm 2:7-12 )
In an event that was later modeled in the
Biblical adoption ceremony (Galatians 4:4-7 ),
the Father formally named His Son heir of His
estate and bequeathed His inheritance to Him.
All the nations are His, and He has the
authority to rule them as He pleases. Man’s
choice will be to obey or suffer the
consequences. Obedience will be rewarded
with blessing, but rebellion will bring
destruction.

We’re neither told how many will be saved
during the Millennium, nor what their destiny
will be. What we are told is at the end of the
1000 year Kingdom Age Satan will be freed
and will have no trouble recruiting a large
army from among the nations for one last
attempt to regain his lost empire. He’ll find a
ready audience for his deception and his army
will soon be as numerous as the grains of
sand on the seashore. From all over the
world they’ll come to surround God’s people
and His Holy City. But in one sudden burst of
flame from Heaven they’ll be devoured and
Satan will be cast into the Lake of Fire for
eternity ( Rev. 20:7-10 ). Once again, man
rebels, God judges and another Age ends in
failure.

Then the end will come, when he (Jesus) hands
over the kingdom to God the Father after he has
destroyed all dominion, authority and power. For
he must reign until he has put all his enemies
under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is
death. For he “has put everything under his
feet” (Psalm 8:6 ).

Now when it says that “everything” has been put
under him, it is clear that this does not include
God himself, who put everything under Christ.
When he has done this, then the Son himself will
be made subject to him who put everything under
him, so that God may be all in all. ( 1 Cor.
15:24-28 )

At that point, God’s response to Satan’s
accusations will be complete, and His
judgment will be final. Heaven and Earth will
be purified. Eternity will begin, and God will
reign supreme. Hallelujah! 02-28-15

Christianity EtcRe: Tribulation Saints Versus The Church - Jack Kelley by jiggaz(op): 3:54pm On Feb 26, 2016
johnw74:
I turned of Jack kelley when i read where he said from memory something like:
Once saved, you can live a life of sin, ignore the Holy Spirit, and do anything at all, and still be saved.
Many believe that rot, but I don't, the Holy Spirit can hardly be working in a person if that person is livin a sinful lifestyle.
Why do you people always twist what a man of God says? Jack Kelley didn't say that. What he said was that once saved, we can't lose our Salvation cos of sin, that the Holy Spirit is sealed within us as a guarantee till the day of redemption of our body ( Rapture ). He teaches that the FINISHED WORK OF CHRIST on the Cross changed everything for Humanity and it is greater than Adam's Sin in the Garden of Eden. Since you don't believe in the Grace Gospel of CHRIST about ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED, i think you need to stay off this thread cos i FIRMLY believe in ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED. I believe in the finished work of CHRIST ....... And please to avoid unnecessary argument, don't quote me cos we can never agree...... Thank you...
Christianity EtcThe Simple Gospel - Jack Kelley by jiggaz(op): 10:04pm On Feb 25, 2016
QUESTION. I was wondering if you could answer my question about religion. I am aware of a Higher Figure that laid out an archaic book that has been translated from several different languages and has been thoroughly disorganized to a point where people can no longer agree on what it says. I know some people say there’s a message called the gospel, or good news, contained in this book . Can you explain in simple terms what the gospel message is?


ANSWER. I agree with you that man has done a good job of making religion seem complicated, but God made it simple. It doesn’t matter which translation of the Bible you read or what language you read it in. They all agree on four basic things.

1. There is a God who created you and will judge you according your behavior (Romans 1:18-20 ).

2. Knowing you couldn’t possibly survive such a judgment, He sent His Son to save you from the penalty set to be levied against you (Colossians 2:13-14 ).

3. His Son died in your place and then rose again to prove that His death was sufficient to pay this penalty in full (1 Cor. 15:3-4, Romans 10:9-10 ).

4. Everyone who believes the Son of God died for them will not perish but will have everlasting life (John 3:16 ).

Every legitimate translation states these things clearly. To receive salvation all you have to do is believe them and ask in faith to be saved (Romans 10:13 ). If you do that you’ll inherit eternal life. And that’s not all. God will also send His Holy Spirit to you guarantee this and to help you clear up all the confusion so you can understand His book (John 16:13, 1 Cor. 2:14 ). That’s the simple Gospel.

The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, but considers them foolishness and cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Cor. 2:14 ).

Christianity EtcTribulation Saints Versus The Church - Jack Kelley by jiggaz(op): 9:52pm On Feb 25, 2016
QUESTION. I just listened to your MP3 series on Revelation chapter 7-9. In part 4 you talk about the Tribulation Martyrs serving Jesus in the temple etc, but they would not receive the reward that the Church does, which is to be co-heirs with Christ. I had never seen this before while reading Revelation until you mentioned it. Can you explain why you think this is so? So basically what your saying is that as soon as the Rapture happens anyone who believes after that point is not really part of the Church but is classified in another group. (Kind of like Israel is a separate group.) Can you go further into this?

ANSWER. The earliest date for the birth of the Church is on Pentecost, 50 days after the Resurrection, and it will disappear in the rapture. Therefore, just as Old Testament believers aren’t part of the Church, neither are Tribulation believers. And a careful reading of Rev. 7:9-17 shows that the destiny of these believers is much different from the Church.

They’re specifically described as serving God in His Temple, and yet they are never called priests. This is a role never ascribed to the Church. In fact there is no Temple in the New Jerusalem, home of the church (Rev. 21:22 ). Also there’s no mention of the saints in Rev. 7 ever ruling and reigning with Christ as is the Church’s destiny.

Ephesians 2:14-17 clearly portrays the Church as an entirely new and unique race of human, different from any other, with a future designed to show just how far God can go in lavishing His grace upon us (Ephes. 2:6-7 ). In my opinion, we don’t hear anywhere near enough on this subject from the pulpit.

During the Church Age, God asks people to believe solely by faith (John 6:28-29 ), and promises blessings beyond those of any other group to those who do. But once Daniel’s 70th week begins, God’s supernatural power will once again be on display for all to see. During that time belief in Him will be as much by evidence as by faith, like it was in the Old Testament. Believing in what you see is not as commendable to God as is believing what you don’t see, hence the different destiny of Tribulation believers from that of the Church.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.Ephesians 2:8
No ‘Buts’ In The Good News
Imagine having a rich uncle who comes up to you one day and says, “I have really good news for you. I know you need a family car badly, so I bought you a really nice one!” Your jaw drops at the good news. But before you can thank him, he says, “It’s all yours...BUT you have to pay me monthly installments of $1,000 for it.”
Suddenly, what started out as “good news” doesn’t turn out to be good news after all. Why? Because it contains a big “BUT!” The “gift” isn’t genuine because it has a condition attached to it.
Sadly, this is how some people understand the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. They’ve been told, “Yes, you are saved by God’s grace, BUT from now on, you have to make sure that you come to church, read your Bible, pray, serve, dress holy...to keep your salvation.” Like the car, salvation is not really a free gift—you have to merit it with “installments” of good works.
Beloved, good works are important, but they can’t save you. The only thing that can save you is the blood of Jesus. And when you put your faith in Jesus and His finished work, you were saved for all eternity, with no strings attached because grace is not grace if your works have any part to play in it (Romans 11:6)! That’s why the gospel of God’s grace is truly GOOD NEWS! And it is knowing and believing this that produces godly fruits of faith and righteousness in your life!

2 Corinthians 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Some Christians believe that they have to work at becoming more righteous. And they kick themselves when they do wrong. They don’t realize that by doing these things, they are not seeking God’s righteousness, but are trying to establish their own righteousness by their law-keeping and right conduct.
Righteousness is not about right conduct. It is a gift from God to us through Jesus. And since it is a gift, we cannot earn it by our law-keeping and right conduct. We can only receive it!
How do we receive this gift? We receive it through the cross. God made Jesus “who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”. So today, we are the righteousness of God in Christ. We are as righteous as Jesus is!
But some of us think that in the body of Christ, there are different classes of righteousness, like the seating classes in an airplane. They think that some of us have economy-class righteousness, others have business-class righteousness and a select few have first-class righteousness.
That is nonsense! When God gave us Jesus, He became our righteousness. So we have His righteousness. This means that we are 100 per cent righteous in God’s eyes! We cannot but have first-class righteousness!
You might say, “Pastor Prince, I don’t understand. How can I be righteous when I have done wrong?” Think about this: Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin for us. Jesus knew no sin, did no sin and in Him was no sin. But at the cross, He received our sin and became sin for us.
Likewise, we, who were sinners, knew no righteousness, did no righteousness and in us was no righteousness. But at the cross, we received His righteousness and became the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
At the cross, the divine exchange took place. Jesus took our place so that we might take His place. He did not deserve to be made sin, but He was made sin in our place. We did not deserve to be made righteous, but we were made righteous because we received His righteousness. What good news! What amazing grace!

Isaiah 54:14
In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

Have you ever asked yourself why some Christians are constantly beset with overwhelming challenges, sicknesses and defeat if God’s promise, “No weapon formed against you shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17), is true?
Well, this promise comes with a condition—“In righteousness you shall be established”. When you are established in righteousness, you will be far from oppression and terror, and not a single weapon formed against you will prosper!
This condition is not hard to meet. For a start, you already have righteousness! When you received Jesus as your Savior, you received the gift of righteousness which enables you to reign in life. (Romans 5:17) This righteousness does not come from you but the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17) And when you are established in His righteousness, no weapon formed against you will prosper.
But what does being established in righteousness mean? To be established in something is to have that something as your very foundation for security. So God wants you to know, be sure of and grow in the revelation that you are righteous by the blood of Jesus, by His perfect sacrifice at the cross.
When you feel as if you are in a storm, tossed here and there, and you begin to experience worry and fear, remind yourself of who you are in Christ. You are the righteousness of God in Christ and you have His righteousness!
As you do this, you will begin to notice the worry and fear slide off you, for when you are established in righteousness, “you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you”! That is why God wants you to be established in righteousness. He wants you to be free from fear, and far from oppression and terror.
So when the pressure is on, hold fast to the belief that you are the righteousness of God in Christ. That is where no weapon formed against you can prosper. As you keep believing and confessing your righteousness in Christ, revelation will break forth and you will experience the release of God’s miraculous provision, divine protection and blessings into your life!
Thought For The Day
When you are established in His righteousness, no weapon formed against you will prosper!

Christianity EtcRe: The Revelation Story [ As John Might Have Told It Today ] - Jack Kelley by jiggaz(op):
Chapter 21

With those two glimpses of the end of the Millennium, let’s go back to its beginning. Before my very eyes, I saw Heaven and Earth restored to their original condition before sin entered the world and messed things up. I realized that some of the “natural disasters” that took place during the Tribulation were actually re-shaping the Earth and changing its orbit to permit this restoration.

Then I saw the New Jerusalem coming down out of the sky to enter its orbit near Earth. Because of its size, which I’ll detail in a minute, and the fact that only perfected believers can live there, there’s no way this city could ever be a part of Earth, but it has to be near to permit travel back and forth. The city was absolutely huge, over 1400 miles square and 1400 miles high. Some speculate that there’s enough room there for each and every believer to have his own 10,000 square foot mansion. The city had 12 gates, one each for the 12 tribes of Israel and each made of a single pearl. (That’s a hoot! Oysters aren’t even kosher.) It also had 12 foundations covered with precious gems, named for the 12 apostles. There wasn’t any temple in the city, nor did it need the light from the sun or moon because the Father and the Son both dwell there. Their Presence provides all the light that’s necessary. Leaders of all the nations of Earth come and pay tribute bringing all their honor and glory, but no one impure can ever enter, only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Chapter 22

On Earth a Great Temple, built in Israel to glorify God, gushed forth a giant spring of fresh pure water. It became a river that flowed west to the Mediterranean and east to the Dead Sea. Its waters freshened the Dead Sea and permitted fish to flourish there (Note: see Ezekiel 47). All along the river’s banks fruit trees grew, each bearing a new crop every month of the year. Their leaves had healing power, and the fruit was delicious to eat. Near the Temple the Father and Son had their Throne, and from there they would rule the world for ever and ever.

I was so overcome with joy at seeing all the splendor that God has in store for those who love Him that I fell at the feet of the angel who was showing it to me, and he scolded me. “Worship God alone,” he said. Good advice.

Then my Lord said, “Behold I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.” I could see that He meant that God in His infinite wisdom has given all of us all the right to choose our own destiny. By what He showed me it’s obvious that everyone ever born lives forever. The only question is where we’ll spend eternity. Choose Him and receive eternal life in the City of God. Reject Him and it’s eternal punishment with Satan and his followers in his place of torment. The choice has never been so clear.

He then told me to warn all of the millions who would read this letter down through the centuries. Take this message seriously! Grave consequences would await the one who either adds to or tries to dilute its purpose and content. But as He told me at the beginning, great blessings would come to the ones who read, hear and take to heart what I’ve written

To this I say, Amen: Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

Christianity EtcRe: The Power Of The Holy Communion - Joseph Prince by jiggaz(op): 7:22pm On Feb 24, 2016
jiggaz:
What Is The Holy Communion?
The Holy Communion, known also as the Lord’s Supper,
represents the greatest expression of God’s love for His
people.
Two items are used in the Holy Communion—the bread
which represents Jesus’ body that was scourged and broken
before and during His crucifixion, and the cup which
represents His shed blood.
When Jesus walked on earth, He was vibrant, and His body
was full of life and health. He was never sick. But before
Jesus went to the cross, He was badly scourged by the
Roman soldiers, and His body was torn as He hung on the
cross.
At the cross, God also took all our sicknesses and diseases
and put them on Jesus’ originally perfect and healthy body,
so that we can walk in divine health. That is why the Bible
says by His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter
2:24).
In Luke 22:20, Jesus tells us that the cup is the “new
covenant in My blood”, and the apostle Paul tells us that the
blood of Jesus brings forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14,
Ephesians 1:7).
Why Do Believers Partake Of The Holy Communion?
Besides being born again in Christ, a healthy body and mind
are the greatest blessings anyone can have. And the Holy
Communion is God’s ordained channel of healing and
wholeness.
On the night that He was betrayed, Jesus ate His last supper
with His disciples. And knowing what He would accomplish
through His sacrifice, He instituted the Holy Communion
(Luke 22:19–20, 1 Corinthians 11:24–25).
His loving instruction is that we are to remember Him as we
partake of the Holy Communion. Jesus wanted us
conscious of how His body was broken for our wholeness,
and His blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins. And
whenever we partake in this consciousness, we “proclaim
the Lord’s death till He comes” (1 Corinthians 11:26).
Today, when we partake of the bread, we are declaring that
Jesus’ health and divine life flows in our mortal bodies. And
when we partake of the cup, we are declaring that we are
forgiven and have been made righteous. Jesus’ blood gives
us right standing before God, and we can go boldly into
God’s presence (Hebrews 4:16). When we pray, we can be
sure that God hears us!
How Do I Partake Of The Holy Communion?
Before you partake, remember that the Holy Communion is
not a ritual to be observed, but a blessing to be received.
Because it is not a ritual, there is no prescribed bread or
special drink required. In the Last Supper, Jesus used
whatever He had at the table—bread commonly eaten at
supper, and whatever they were drinking.
Watch Pastor Joseph Prince Share On, And Lead You, In A
Time Of The Holy Communion
To partake, first, hold the bread in your hand and say:
Thank You, Father, for the gift of Your Son. By the stripes that
fell on His back, my body is healed from the crown of my head
to the very soles of my feet. Every cell, every organ, every
function of my body is healed, restored, and renewed. In Jesus’
name, I believe and I receive. [Eat the bread.]
Next, take the cup in your hand and say:
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your precious blood. Your sin-free,
disease-free, poverty-free life is in Your blood. And Your shed
blood has removed every sin from my life. Through Your blood, I
am forgiven of all my sins—past, present and future—and made
completely righteous. Today, I celebrate and partake of the
inheritance of the righteous, which is preservation, healing,
wholeness and provision. Thank You Lord Jesus, for loving me.
Amen. [Drink the wine.]
How Can I Find Out More About The Holy Communion?
To find out more about what Joseph Prince has taught on
the Holy Communion, you may wish to check the resources
available on our ministry's online store .
Our ministry has also received praise reports from believers
who have partaken of the Holy Communion and seen
healing and protection from the Lord manifest. You can find
these in the Praise Report page on our ministry website. We
pray that as you read them, faith will fill your heart and
cause you to look to Jesus for whatever you need while you
partake of the Holy Communion.

ministry, you can watch him on his television broadcast
program , watch online On Demand , subscribe to his daily
devotionals known as Grace Inspirations , or download his

Christianity EtcRe: Speak God's Word And Activate His Angels - Joseph Prince by jiggaz(op): 7:13pm On Feb 24, 2016
jiggaz:
Psalm 103:20
Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.

Notice that the verse says that angels are “heeding the
voice of His word”. Now, who gives voice to God’s Word?
We do! Each time we speak God’s Word, we give voice to
His Word. And when angels hear His Word given voice, they
respond!
The Bible says that at the end of Daniel’s three weeks of
fasting and praying for an answer from God, the angel
Gabriel appeared to Daniel and said to him, “I have come
because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12)
So when angels hear you saying, “Thank You, Father, no
evil shall befall me nor shall any plague come near my
dwelling,” (Psalm 91:10) they will come to your aid because
you are giving voice to God’s Word. Even if you cannot
quote the verse perfectly, they can still come to your rescue.
This was what happened to a lady in the United States.
While walking home after an evening church service, she
was attacked from behind by a man and dragged toward a
dark corner in an alley. In that frantic state, she
remembered only one word from that evening’s sermon. So
she shouted, “Feathers! Feathers!” Her attacker released
her and fled!
Feathers? What did she mean? She was actually referring to
Psalm 91:4—“He shall cover you with His feathers , and
under His wings you shall take refuge”. In that state of
panic, she remembered only one word—“feathers”, and it
was enough to cause her attacker to flee. You see, it is not
your ability to quote an entire verse perfectly that releases
God’s power, but faith in His Word and His love for you. And
one word from Him is enough to send your enemies
scurrying away.
However, if you know God’s Word by heart but refuse to
proclaim it, the power of His Word cannot be released. The
Bible does not say that angels heed His Word. No, it says
that “His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word,
heeding the voice of His word”. So beloved, give voice to
God’s Word and see His angels respond. His angels are
activated for your benefit when you speak His Word!
Thought For The Day
One word from God released through your mouth is enough to
send your enemies scurrying away

Nawa oo... some people get bad mind oo... this is wicked nah.....



Good morning Stella, I'm a serious bv even tho I hardly comment,good job!

I'm writing this with my heart full with sadness. I'm in my 20s, please remember to hide my id. Last night my bf and I decided to be fun and go clubbing, we usually don't do that. So we called up his cousin who knows every club in Festac because he stays around there.

Na so we go meet the cousin for Festac, we lodged and then went clubbing with the cousin, he has a car and le'boo doesn't. At the club the cousin was complaining about not having a girl, I even tried to get him a girl and he wasn't satisfied with the ones I introduced him to there. When we were done clubbing one thing led to another and my bf got to the hotel before me.

After enough drinking and dancing, I found out I was alone in the cousin's car.
bf was with my phone and wallet, in the hope that he was going to the hotel where me and bf lodged I relaxed only for the bastard to stop at one place and demanded for sex,i refused of course. He begged and begged and started threatening, that's when I became scared, he said he was gonna leave me on the road alone and the area boys would get to me .

Stella I begged and I cried but the demon boy wouldn't have it,note that I was in my period . After a while he started driving and drove to a remote place, I didn't know my way and I was cashless and without phone, when he stopped he raped me inside the car, it wasn't long but I was screaming and begging him to stop. when he stopped he drove me to the hotel where we lodged and bf was outside shouting at him and telling him "Shey I texted you say she dey her period" I was weak. I didn't have to say anything and bf understood what happened I started crying, I cried my eyes out Stella.

Bf was just begging,i cried myself to sleep. This morning I woke up to bf crying,he was crying that he is not a man for his cousin to rape me and we can't do anything, no evidence of rape, just nothing. We are on our way home now and I'm writing this, I don't usually tell my story to people but this is heart breaking and I can't even tell my people at home this kind of story. Do you think this is the end for bf and I?? I don't even know what to do now .
