TEXT: MATTHEW 19:24

"And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

Camel is a burden animal which is used for transportation of goods_the maximum estimation of the goods it could carry is 400kg. It travels a long distance through a ️desert 🏜️ 🏜️🏜️ for days before arriving its final destination. It is unloaded, given drums of water to drink, showered with water and then rested before another journey is embarked.

In Israel, there is a particular place called "the needle's eye ". The letters of the words are clearly inscribed on the post 🏣🏣🏣 of the gate. It is a gate for only humans and unloaded animals to go through_"...it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle..."

In a similar case, countless clean animals were called into Noah's Ark while humans perished in the flood save Noah's. The world is being called today into Jesus saving grace Ark (Titus 2:11). How many will be saved for the world is going Noah's contemporaries' ways?

The Lord Jesus describes how the road to God's kingdom is: one is a wide road which many walk but the end thereof is destruction while the other one is narrow on which few journey and leads to eternal life.

Man is laden with sins since the day he knows the truth(the rights and wrongs). These must therefore be unloaded on daily basis if he wants to enter the Jerusalem from above just like camels wanting to enter through the needle eye, narrow and strait gate. The Bible says " Blessed is he that watcheth, and KEEPETH his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." It is not talking about physical cloth but spiritual's.

The reconciler and mediator now says "
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28)

Entering through that gate is also like "taking it by violence" or "pressing into it" (Matt 11:12, Lk 16:16). Note here that many will try to enter and two, Jesus said man should take it by force. It does not exclude anyone! Satan knew at Golgotha that it was over for him (Lk 19:30, John 19:30) and so he would not allow anyone take it easily like that. One of the ways of unburden yourself of sins is asking for forgiveness and God's mercy.

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to HIS MERCY he saved us, by the WASHING OF REGENERATION, and RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST" (TITUS 3:5)
Again, it is God Himself who makes your way perfect; it is not by your strength.

Who are you then that you would not surrender your will to the APPEASER, JESUS CHRIST? The burden is too much for you to carry! You are not a camel which carries such weight of loads_400kg. You are human! Such loads are too heavy for you to carry even though you do not know sins are heavier. Neither are you ISSACHAR (Gen. 49:14-15) to bear the burden and of the others. Every unsaved soul is "ISSACHAR"regardless of sects.

"Now I know of a surety" that I have been sought and found in this time of REGENERATION. In other words, YOU ARE A PHOENIX . Every Christian is. Every soul who is ready to drink from THE RIVERS OF LIFE is. AMEN.

That there— in bold— is a very ridiculous attempt at a connection to conceive between what Jesus Christ of Israel said and the animals that supposedly entered Noah's ark!

The message isn't primarily meant for a debate or challenge! Whether there is correlation between what Jesus said regarding entering God's kingdom as used by me in the message and animals that entered Noah's ark is of no importance as touching the core message which is salvation. You don't correct a preacher on the pulpit! I don't need to be grammatically correct in order to preach the gospel. The message is important! Take the core message and utilize it.
Besides, the word "similar" and "same" are two meanings apart. "Same" means complete and identical in all way while "similar" is not, it's not complete. A fully loaded camel cannot enter the strait gate. The camel as illustrated is man. The load is sin. The strait gate is the way to God's kingdom. The load must be unloaded before the animal_man_could enter through the gate. Our will must be broken and laid off WILLINGLY.

In A SIMILAR CASE, GOD, BEING RIGHTEOUS, told Noah to pick both clean and unclean animals and bring them into the ark. God is a sanctifier!(Heb. 2:11). He sanctified them to meet His own purpose! No preferential treatment so far THEY YIELDED TO THE CALL though IT SEEMED TO US AS IF THEIR ADMITTANCE INTO THE ARK WAS EASY!

Now, the camel is in a state of struggle to enter the strait gate. The animals chosen by Noah also "would have been in the same state regardless the freedom and grace they had." Those who perished in the flood had a lengthy time of grace. They didn't bother to struggle and lay off their sins. They perished.

That apart! The people of this particular time are doing the same way Noah's contemporaries did. No one cares about his or her spiritual statehood. No one cares about God's kingdom. But man must struggle to enter the kingdom no matter what he faces and NO MATTER WHAT HIS SIN IS.

Of course it ain't up for debate since it is more like religious gobbledegook meant to keep manipulated and deceived the already gullible religious slaves.

The already gullible religious slaves, those who know the truth are actually saved souls; they are no more under bondage!

The rich fraudulent ones among them are the saved ones? Or the impoverished masses in the same crowd waiting for their day and opportunity to begin taking advantage of the others, the saved ones? Or are you referring to those among them who never got the chance at success before death came for them?
