Religion / Access To The Kingdom Of Heaven (2) by REDH2: 12:31am On May 05, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Access to the Kingdom of Heaven (2)

Psalms 24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Beloved, in addition to having a clean hands and a pure heart, in order to have access to His Holy place - Heaven, you must likewise;

- Abstain from swearing deceitfully - this is common in the world even among believers. Many believers in a bid to cover up lies swear in order to convince others that they are telling the truth, especially in business transactions where many swear using GOD's Holy name in order to make profit deceitfully. Swearing is a lack of the fear of GOD. Do not swear no matter what. Speak the truth always, and if they don't believe you, don't argue or swear.

- Not lift your soul unto vanity. The pleasures and cares of this world is vain and has no eternal value - the end thereof is death. Therefore, don't give in to the cares and pleasures of this world - lay up treasures in Heaven. Many seek after material possessions but all these will pass away.

The flesh which you seek to please today will become dust, the material possessions you acquire on earth - none will be taken to eternity, why don't you seek to live focused on that which has eternal value than that which is vain and but for a moment? The things that are not of GOD are vain and temporal but that which is of GOD will last for eternity. Therefore live to do that which pleases the Lord (that which pertains to godliness and Holiness) and don't pursue after vain things.

Beloved, obey this Word spoken to you this day from the Lord, that you may reign with the Lord your GOD in Heaven.

If there is any part that you are found wanting, repent now and do that which is needful!

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / Access To The Kingdom Of Heaven by REDH2: 3:59am On May 04, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Access to the Kingdom of Heaven

Psalms 24:3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
24:4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Beloved, Heaven is a Holy and perculiar place for a Holy and perculiar people and to have access to the hill of the Lord - Heaven, you must meet the standard of GOD and His Holy place, Heaven.

From the anchor scripture, to ascend to the hill of GOD and to stand in His Holy place (Heaven), you must have;

- Clean hands - your dealings and deeds must be right and clean in GOD's sight. You must therefore live clean and devoid from all forms of unrighteousness and worldliness. Don't be involved in crookedness (dishonesty, deceit, malpractices, bribery, corrupt ways and many more) but instead walk in the Truth - speak the truth and live the truth. Don't dip your hands into that which is displeasing to GOD.

- A pure heart - Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. To see GOD in eternal glory, your heart must be pure and not evil, you must forsake jealousy, malice, unforgiveness, hatred and worldy pollutions which will make your heart filthy. Flee for filthy and worldly conversation but instead sanctify the Lord GOD in your heart and be pure. 1 Peter 3:15a

Your heart is a product of what you feed it with. Consistently fill your heart with the Word of GOD. Your actions are product of the state of your heart. Are your heart pure? If it be so, then your ways will be Holy before GOD.

Beloved, obey this Word spoken to you this day from the Lord, that you may reign with the Lord your GOD in Heaven.

If there is any part that you are found wanting, repent now and do that which is needful!

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Religion / Fulfilment By Christ Jesus by REDH2: 3:05am On May 03, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Fulfilment by Christ Jesus

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Beloved, every man is created for a purpose; to worship GOD and to please Him in all things. From the anchor scripture, the Lord GOD made it known to Jeremiah that He had sanctified and ordained him to be a prophet unto the nations. This is the same for every man but the ordination is different, in spite of this the end of each of this ordination is to fulfill the purpose of your creation - to worship and please Him in all things.

To fulfill the purpose for which you were created by GOD, you must be in constant and close fellowship with Him at all times; you must be connected to Him. He is the root and source of your life. You can't be fulfilled if you are far or disconnected from Him. Acts 17:28

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Paul was able to fulfill the divine purpose of GOD for His life because he had no other option but Christ Jesus. Only Jesus could help him and see him through even till reigning in Heaven with the Lord.

Beloved, sin disconnects you from GOD, it is a wall between you and the Lord GOD. Know one of a surety, without the Lord you can't be fulfilled. Fulfilment is by Christ Jesus, if then you are living perpetually in sin and giving yourself to worldly pleasures and fleshly lusts, you can't live fulfilled.

Joseph and Daniel fulfilled GOD's purpose for their lives because they refuse to compromise and sin against the Lord their GOD irrespective of the trials and temptations. Beloved, the world is full of sin and temptations to give in to sin but purpose in your heart to not to defile yourself and sin against GOD. Flee from all forms of sin and worldliness and cleave to GOD and pleasing Him in all things.

This also know that whatsoever does not glorify GOD is not of GOD and can never please Him, therefore you can't say your calling is comedy and expect to be fulfilled (fulfilment is living to please GOD and glorify Him in all things) therein. Seek to please GOD in all things you do in Holiness and remain connected to GOD at all times. Let not sin separate you from the source through which you shall fulfill the purpose of your creation.

You were not created to please yourself or to please men, you are created for a purpose - to please your Maker, therefore please Him in all things He has committed into your hands. Stop seeking to have fun and pleasures (fleshly lusts) that has no eternal value but vain and the end thereof is death.

Beloved, obey the Word of the Lord to you this day, repent of your sins, cleave to your Maker that He may grant you His Grace and mercies to fulfill the purpose wherewith you are created and at the end of it all reign with Him in Heaven.

Beloved, repent! repent!! repent!!! and cleave to your Maker in Holiness and Purity.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / Don't Take Eternity Lightly by REDH2: 3:52am On May 02, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Don't take eternity lightly

Proverbs 6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

Beloved, your way of life will determine how you take eternity. Eternity has no end therefore ending in Hell is forever in the pit of unquenchable fire and in Heaven is forever in great joy and glory.

Beloved, from the anchor scripture, you can't take fire in your bosom and expect not be burned so likewise you can't keep engaging in sin, associating yourself with the world and yet you expect not to end up in everlasting burnings. Beloved, repent of your evil ways, you can't have the world and inherit Heaven, you can't continue sinning and inherit Heaven.

Sin is a fire in your bosom and it will surely burn you no matter what; here on earth and in eternity if you refuse to repent. Sin destroys, no matter who you are, it will destroy you if you do not repent just as fire has no respect of persons.

Beloved, repent and stop taking fire into your bosom; stop living like the world, stop all these sinful lifestyle, it will eventually lead to everlasting burning, therefore repent, cleave to GOD, do His will, walk in His ways - Holiness and Purity.

Finally, Beloved take heed unto this Word lest you regret in eternity. Eternity has no end, this world and all its pleasure will pass away, all the cares and affairs of this world is vain but eternity will never pass away - therefore make your choice today to either spend eternity with GOD or in the pit of Hell. I beseech you to choose Life. Don't take eternity lightly and take fire in your bosom, Beloved the end of such who do so is death - eternal damnation.

Repent and be ye converted and walk in the ways of the Lord thy GOD, Heaven awaits you. Make the right choice!

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / What Fruits Are You Bearing? by REDH2: 3:04am On May 01, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

What fruits are you bearing?

Matthew 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Beloved, the fruits you bear will determine your eternal destination. What fruits are you bringing forth daily? This world is so full of corruption and as believers if you are not watchful and prayerful, you will be corrupted.

You cannot mingle with the world, fill your heart with all its worldliness and expect your life to bring forth fruits of Holiness.

Beloved, therefore
- Guard your heart against corruption of this present world. Guard your heart from worldliness and feed your mind with the Word of GOD. If the Word therefore be the seed which is sown day and night, you will bring forth the life of Christ, give diligent heed to the Word of GOD.
- Stop feeding your mind with the things of this world - the books, songs, videos, movies, comedies, or engaging in what the world are engaging in.
- Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers. This does not mean you should relate with them but you should not be intimate with them in any way whatsoever. A man can speak to a another man who is full of dirt that 'clean up and change your ways' and await his decision but such man should not hug the other man in order to preach the Word. Hugging the man is getting dirty with man - therefore such is corrupted.

2 Corinthians 6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

What seed in sown daily in your heart? Watch Beloved, watch! The devil seeks to corrupt your heart with the deceitful pleasures of this world. What do you give ear? What do you sing with your mouth? What do you give your eyes to look upon? Let your body and heart be consecrated to GOD, to fulfill His counsel, to please Him and worship Him in all things. The seeds sown becomes the fruit which you would bear. Sown seeds of the Word daily and of the world!

Now, if your ways are evil(corrupt), repent and cut off association with worldliness - be intentional about this, forsake the life of sin, be not unequally yoked with unbelievers, give diligent heed to the Word of GOD and be prayerful.

Beloved, the consequences of bringing forth any fruits aside that which is good fruits is eternal damnation in Hell - repent of your evil ways and be ye transformed by the Word of GOD. Heaven awaits you if you would the Word of the Lord to you this day.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Religion / Put On The Lord Jesus by REDH2: 3:46am On Apr 30, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Put on the Lord Jesus

Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Beloved, a Christian is one believes in Jesus and walks in His ways, the very image of the Lord Jesus not one who proclaims to be one. It is not enough to believe in and accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you have to put on the Lord Jesus.

Putting on the Lord Jesus entails:
- Walking in His ways
- Speaking like He speaks
- Subjecting your actions to His ways - i.e making sure that every step you to take is same as Jesus would take if He was in your stead
- Expressing His love
- Hate what He hates
- Obedience to Him
- Doing good like He did
- Being sacrificial like He was

Daily, put on the Christ Jesus, let His life be reflected through you. How do you speak? How do you respond to situations? What do you do when others are in dire need of your help? What do you when one who is far younger than you gives you a resounding slap? What would you do when you are cheated? What do you engage in?

Deliberate on these questions, answer them truthfully, and pattern your answers to what Christ Jesus would do, if it is not in alignment Beloved you need to make effective corrections now. Learn to forgive like He did, give, be compassionate, be slow to speak, swift to hear, slow to wrath, do good unto all men, speak as an oracle of GOD like a representative of Christ Jesus on the earth. Let men see you and testify of you that truly you have met Jesus Christ. Let no man see you and say "And he call himself a Christian, is he not the one gossiping about someone?" Ahhh, Beloved, let this not be heard or said concerning you.

Beloved, be an expression of Christ Jesus in words and deeds and make not provision for the flesh - the flesh seek convenience, the flesh seeks the deceitful pleasure of this world, the flesh would curse those who steal from them, will not forgive, will live to please themselves hence dress as the world, the flesh will avenge himself, the flesh will try to prove a point to others and many more. All these are the workings of the flesh, don't give in to the flesh but instead put on the Lord Jesus.

To put on the Lord Jesus, you must be with Him daily i.e you must be with the Word of GOD daily, you must humble yourself like He did and seek the Lord GOD for help in your daily walk with Him and all situations of life, you must intentionally flee from sin and worldly pleasures and finally you must know His ways, you can't put on the Lord Jesus or walk in His ways if you don't know His ways. Therefore diligent seek to know His ways and walk in them.

Take note Beloved, only those who put on the Lord Jesus will enter through Heaven's gate into the celestial city. Surely, if you would daily put of the Lord Jesus, you will reign with Him in Heaven.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / Purity By The Word by REDH2: 2:53am On Apr 29, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Purity by the Word

Psalms 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

Beloved, in this generation wherein lies youthful lusts and worldliness of diverse kind, you can only live pure by giving heed to the Word of GOD.

To be cleanse from all sin and to live pure and sanctified, you must daily give heed to the Word.

John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

A Christian who will live clean must give diligent heed to the Word of GOD. It is disheartening that many believers focus on prayers, pray for long hours but are void of the Word, this is why there are many who pray and pray yet battling with impure lifestyle and filthiness of the flesh.

From the anchor scripture, a young man is faced with diverse temptations to be filthy and live a life of worldliness and sin but the way through this is most importantly giving heed to the Word: studying, reading, memorising and of very great importance meditation. This guard your heart from sin. The Word gives you power to say no to sin.

If you don't know Him, how will you please in purity? For He is the Word. This generation of believers are given to worldly pleasures and fleshly lust, immoral thought and Words this is because they do not give diligent heed to the Word, are you one of these? You heart can't stay unoccupied, instead of occupying your heart with worldliness, fill it with the Word.

Now is the time to change your ways and make it an habit to give diligent heed to the Word of GOD and obedience of it. Daily, esteem the Word above anything whatsoever, sit up with the Lord, let Him sanctify you by His Word and surely you will live pure.

Finally Beloved, you can't be reading the Word and at the same time confirming to the world, therefore first is to repent from all sins, the world and its lust and give diligent heed to the Word which will transform you to a person of purity.

Remember, Heaven is pure, and whosoever will enter into Heaven must be pure and this can be achieved by the mercies and Grace of GOD through His Word.

Beloved, give diligent to reading, studying, memorising, meditation and obedience to the Word of GOD. Also at the same time, don't relent in prayers.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Be patient unto the coming of the Lord

James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Beloved, there is possibility for you to get weary on this journey as a pilgrim to the celestial city, Heaven but the Lord has this to tell you Beloved: be patient unto the coming of the Lord.

There are diverse trials, temptations and persecutions faced by those who remain firm, running this race by walking in the footsteps of the Lord Jesus but Beloved be encouraged don't give up, His coming draweth near. Be patient and endure to the end.

Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Keep living Holy, keep pleasing the Lord GOD in all things, keep living consecrated to GOD, keep denying yourself of worldly pleasure and fleshly lust. Behold, His coming draweth near, now is not the time to draw back, now is not the time to look back, be steadfast, don't compromise.

Let your heart be firm on the Lord, don't sleep neither be ye carried away by the affairs of this world. Remain steadfast brother, remain steadfast sister, His coming draweth near. Your patience, endurance and perseverance will be rewarded.

Beloved, if your ways are not right before the Lord, now is the time to make things right with GOD. He is always ready to receive you. Don't remain in sin and worldly pleasures, turn your heart to GOD. The Lord is beckoning on you, answer His call.

The coming of the Lord draweth near, repent, be patient that you may be found worthy when He shall come.

Religion / What Are Your Works? by REDH2: 12:49am On Apr 27, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

What are your works?

Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Beloved, your work while on earth shall determine your reward. There is a reward for every work done on the face of the earth either good or evil.

To the good and faithful is eternal rest in Heaven and to the evil and unfaithful is eternal damnation.

Luke 19:17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

Beloved, what are your works? Are your works pleasing to the Lord? I beseech you Beloved that your works be perfect before the Lord, live Holy and sanctified. There is nothing as wonderful as been given entrance through Heaven's gate, but the contrary can be said of being denied eternity with GOD; it is disheartening.

Beloved, don't be a worker of iniquity, forsake the world and its lust thereof. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

Behold! The Lord your GOD come quickly and no man knows the day or hour wherein He comes, He is coming with His reward according to your works, the question is what are your works? Are they pleasing to Him? Repent of evil works and do that which pleases the Lord your GOD. Don't procrastinate, repent now! The next hour may be too late!

A great reward awaits you if you would be faithful to GOD and walk in His ways.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Religion / Is Your Name In The Book Of Life? by REDH2: 3:00am On Apr 26, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Is your name in the book of life?

Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Beloved, every man who walked the face of the earth, both great and small will stand before GOD and be judged. The books will be opened, the book of life will be opened and each man will be judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Revelations 20:11-14

Beloved, what are your works? Are you a worker of iniquity or ones who walks uprightly before GOD? In the book of life is written the names of the saints. At this very moment, Is your name written in the book of life?

Examine your life this day, it is unprofitable for you to end up in the lake of fire. Know this of a surety, GOD has made everything available and He is willing to make sure your name is in the book of life. The question is are you willing to cooperate with Him and give up sin, worldliness and fleshly lusts that your name might written in the book of life?

Beloved, repent of your sins and worldliness and live to please GOD. Whatsoever sacrifices that Heaven is demanding for you to enter therein, pay! So that you will not say the words 'Had I known, I would have listened'.

Matthew 18:8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

Whatsoever it is that will prevent your name from being in that book, the book of life, cut them off and cast them off from you. You are not here on earth to please any man but GOD, let them call you names. Be rather called names and make it to Heaven than to be accepted of all men and end up in an unquenchable fire which will last for eternity. Whatsoever, again whatsoever Beloved that will not make you end up in Heaven, do away with it.

If you have friends that will always prompt you to sin when you are with them, Beloved, flee from them. Be it social media, any association, career or anything whatsoever that will make your name not to be in the book of life, do away with it. It is better to be wretched in this life, to be unknown, persecuted and make it to Heaven than to be very wealthy, well-known and celebrated and end up in the the lake of fire.

Let men call you old-school, extremist and so on. Be old-school and make Heaven. You know that part that will offend (prevent) you from being in book of life, cut them off and don't hold on to it but immediately cast it off from you.

No sacrifice is too great to give that your name might be written in the book of life. Pay the sacrifice and walk with GOD in Holiness, consecration and purity and you shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Religion / Pure Religion by REDH2: 12:29am On Apr 25, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Pure religion

James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Beloved, many have confused religion with being professors. Many believers will say don't be religious which is wrong. A person who profess to know GOD yet denies Him in his deeds is a professor not religious.

Religion means the belief in and worship of a supernatural controlling power, therefore in the Christian faith, religion means to believe in the Lord Jesus and to worship Him i.e to please Him, walk in His ways and glorify Him in all things.

Biblically, to be religious is
- to help the vulnerable and less privileged
- to help the needy
- to help the weak
- to love and have compassion on others (your fellow men)
- to do good unto all men as unto the Lord
- to abstain from sin and to keep yourself undefiled from the pleasure, lust, affairs and cares of this world
- to live a Holy, blameless and a pure life
- to walk in the ways of Christ Jesus

All the above pleases the Lord GOD, and one who does these is religious.

Matthew 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

The scripture above demonstrate that only those who are truly religious and righteous will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. You may want to disagree, the sound of the word religious when heard will seem like one is an hypocrite or a professor but it is not. As long as you please the Lord in Holiness, purity and consecration and living blameless and undefiled in this present world and love your fellow man as unto the Lord, you are religious and this is a wonderful thing for only those who are truly religious will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Beloved, practice pure religion for this is righteousness (right in the sight of GOD and pleases the Lord) and don't be a professor or an hypocrite and surely you will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Always at every point of your life, do good unto all men as unto the Lord. Never withold good from any man, if possibly go extra miles to make sure you help others and this do in secret not blowing trumpet of what you have done and while doing this, live and remain undefiled in this present perverse world.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen

GOD bless you.

Religion / Let Your Life Prove Your Change Of Heart by REDH2: 12:33am On Apr 24, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Let your life prove your change of heart

Matthew 3:8
KJV: Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance
AMP: Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart]

Beloved, it is a glorious testimony that a soul has repented from his sins. Heaven rejoice when this happens but afterwards your life must prove that truly you have repented of your sin.

It is not enough to say I am born again, it is not enough to say I am a child of GOD, much more is the fruits afterwards. Therefore Beloved, as you have repented of your sins, it is very important that your life changes afterwards. You have not truly repented if you continue therein in the things wherewith you were once entangled.

After repentance, you should be able to testify that once I was a liar but now I tell the truth, once I was a gossiper but now I am an intercessor, once I smoke, steal, curse, swear, fornicate, but now I no longer engage in those things. The question therefore is have you truly repented of your sin or it is just a proclamation?

If therefore you have not repented, repent now and refrain from those things which displeases the Lord your GOD - let your life prove a change of heart. Your thought, words and deeds must be consistent with your repentance.

Beloved, GOD demand fruits - a changed life, a life crucified with Christ Jesus, a life that dies daily to the prompting of the flesh, a life that is dead to the things of the world - Is your life a reflection of this? If not, repent and bring forth fruits of repentance. How then do you bring forth fruits of repentance?

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind

First, you must intentionally say no to sin and worldly pleasures and those things which you have repented of. Also, transformation from the old life (life of sin and worldliness) to the new life (life of Holiness and Purity) is a daily process which you must give diligent heed to by daily renewing your mind with GOD's Word. By consistently doing this, the Word of GOD purge and cleanses you of the old life of sin. Obey the instructions of GOD daily to you and be prayerful.

This must be done consistently without fail. Of a surety, if you will obey these words, your life will be a reflection of true and genuine repentance.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Religion / Sell All And Buy The Pearl by REDH2: 12:39am On Apr 23, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Sell all and buy the pearl

Matthew 13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
13:46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Beloved, give up the ways of the world, sin and fleshly lusts, put them off from you, cast it off, don't hold on it but acquire the pearl: seek the Kingdom of Heaven, therefore in doing so

1. Walk in Holiness i.e live a life that pleases GOD in words and deeds - that each word that proceeds from your lips and what you do and engage in pleases the Lord your GOD. Put off lying, gossiping, swearing, cursing and stealing from your lips and ways.
2. Live a life consecrated to GOD - that your body and all you have is channeled towards glorifying Him, that you no longer seek to please men or yourself but to live for Him which died for you and rose again.

Flee from fornication and all manners of sexual sin, unholy dressing - those dressing that makes others weak in faith and at the same time does not honour GOD. Your body is GOD's temple, therefore consecrate your body to please Him in all things.
3. Live a sanctified life - this can only be attained by constant renewal of your mind by the Word of GOD and putting off those things which pertains to the world i.e don't give your mind to those things which will not edify you neither profit your soul but only give pleasure for a moment and in it lies the way of death - sin.
4. Be pure - worldly songs, movies, comedy and worldly engagements will pollute your heart and teach you ungodliness. Therefore be pure in heart, give not your heart unto pollution. Purity is the result of sanctification. Give attention to GOD's Word and He shall cleanse your ways (Psalm 119:9)

Therefore Beloved, purge yourself of the old leaven (life) and seek & cleave to the new life in Christ Jesus by obedience to these words.

The Kingdom of Heaven is a pearl of great price - requires a lot of sacrifices, sacrifice the world, give up sin and seek the Kingdom of Heaven. Heaven is so valuable that you must first sell off the old life before you attain it.

Will you be that man who sells all he had in order to have that goodly pearl? Beloved, I beseech you to be that man, cut off those association with the world and sinful lifestyle and seek to enter through Heaven's gate. Very few seek this narrow path but Beloved be among this very few!

Lastly, give diligent heed to fervent and effectual prayers.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Religion / Is This How You Will Repay Him? by REDH2: 5:28am On Apr 22, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Is this how you will repay Him?

John 19:1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
19:2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head ...
19:3 ... and they smote him with their hands.

Beloved, the Lord Jesus went through a lot of suffering and shame just to make sure you can fellowship with GOD and have access to Him, that you will no more be a slave to sin and at the end you inherit Heaven.

Jesus Christ left His abode in Heaven and came down in the likeness of men whom He created, those whom He created spat on Him, beat Him, mocked Him, crucified Him - yet He endured all this shame and pain for your sake. He was nailed to the cross as one who is a criminal yet He was without sin.

He was the creator, yet He humbled himself, suffered at the hands of those whom He created till He died on the cross. What manner of love can be compared to this? None whatsoever! Beloved none! It grieves the heart of the Lord Jesus to see those whom He died for living yet in those things in which He came down from Heaven to deliver them from.

Have you no compassion? Why are you doing this? When will you stop causing Jesus to be dismayed? Is this how you will repay all the sufferings, shame and pain the Lord Jesus went through? (that is if He is truly your Lord as you proclaim, because if He is, you will not be grieving Him with your ways)

Till when, Beloved, till when will you continue to live this life? Till when? Till when will you continue to conform to the world? Till when will you keep living in sin? Ahhh! Beloved, do you really understand the gravity of what Christ Jesus went through for your sake?

It is grieving that many believers have turn deaf ears to the call to repentance. Beloved, repent while there is yet hope for you, you may think that there is time but the ways of the Lord are higher than your ways, at any moment your time on earth will be up. Where will you end up?

When you get before Jesus Christ, what excuse will you give Him? What will you tell him? Stop all this sexual sins you are engaging in, yes you know it, stop all these gossiping, stop all this cheating, stealing, lying, swearing, wickedness, fleshly lusts and worldly lifestyle. Daily, you are hearing repent but yet you refuse to take heed to this warning, don't end up like the people during the generation of Noah.

Jesus knew what Hell entails, this is why He preached continuously about it and sacrificed Himself so that you will not end up in that horrible place yet you refuse to repent and still keep living in your sin. Is it until you end up in the unquenchable fires of Hell before you repent? By then, all hope will be lost. There is no repentance in Hell.

Beloved, Jesus Christ is calling you to repent this moment of your sin and walk in His ways
by pleasing the Lord GOD in Holiness, purity, consecration and sanctification. Heed to the call to repentance today before it is too late.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / Where Is Your Treasure? by REDH2: 6:34am On Apr 21, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Where is your treasure?

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Beloved, set you heart on the doing the will of the Father. What do you treasure the most? Do you treasure the Word of GOD? Do you treasure the gift of Salvation? Or is it the world, material possessions, cares and affairs of this world which does not profit and will eventually pass away that you treasure?

What you treasure (value) the most is your treasure. What do you take as utmost importance? what is your priority? Your heart will be focused on what you value the most. Therefore Beloved, treasure the things which pertains to the Lord your GOD.

Treasure;
- The Word of GOD - make it a priority to study and the read of GOD and to obey it. The Word of GOD will keep you sanctified and guide you in to walk in the ways of Christ Jesus.
- Gift of Salvation - therefore don't walk out of the way of salvation and compromise but hold firm, giving diligence to pleasing the Lord your GOD in Holiness, purity, consecration and sanctification.
- The presence of the Holy Spirit in your life and don't grieve Him but obey all His leading. Don't defile the temple of GOD(your body) with worldliness, fleshly lusts and sin. Don't engage in worldly conversation.
- and do the will of GOD, the will of GOD is for you to do good unto all men, to walk His ways, to preach the gospel, show love and have compassion on your fellow men, pray for men and so on.

Beloved, where is your treasure? What are things you focus on daily? What are those you give all your attention to daily? If you treasure the things of this world, just know of a surety that the cares and things of this world are vain and will one day pass away but those things which pertains to the Lord your GOD will abide forever and a reward/prize shall be given you.

Therefore, value those things which pertains to the Lord your GOD - pleasing Him in all things and doing good to others as unto the Lord. Finally,

Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Look unto Jesus daily, take your gaze of the things which are vain - the deceitful pleasure of this present world. The world, sin and fleshly lust has nothing to offer you but death but the Lord GOD has eternal life (a glorious Home) to offer you. Choose wisely, I beseech that you choose to set your affection on things above that you may reign with Christ Jesus in Glory.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / Are You Prepared For The Rapture? by REDH2: 2:20am On Apr 20, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Are you prepared for the rapture?

Matthew 24:40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Beloved, the rapture shall occur in a twinkling of an eye, though it tarries it will surely come. Many believers have gone weary and gone to sleep, many has laboured, gotten weary and gone back to the world. Beloved, awake! Thou which sleep, repent thou backslidden! and watch.

The King is coming, your Lord whom you have forsaken is coming to take the saints to that glorious home He has prepared for them who abide in Him to the end.

Beloved, there is still hope for you. This Word is coming to you today because the Lord GOD loves you and does not want you to perish, therefore repent of your sins, turn to GOD and walk in His ways, live to please Him in Holiness, purity, consecration and sanctification.

You whose garment is always white and spotless, endure till the end, keep persevering till the end, irrespective of persecutions and temptations, don't relent in doing GOD's will, keep pleasing Him. The Glory of Heaven is far greater than whatsoever you face for the name of Christ Jesus. Therefore, remain prepared. You have come this far, don't look back - there is an inheritance to inherit and a prize to win, therefore keep pressing on till you attain.

Beloved, you know your state, ask yourself; am I prepared for the rapture? If the Lord says my time is up on the earth, where will I end up? Heaven or Hell?

To you who is faithful, remain faithful and watch Beloved, watch! Don't sleep! To you who is backslidden, repent, live Holy, be prepared for His coming and watch and surely by His Grace and mercies, if you would obey His Words and walk in His ways, you will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.

Beloved, no one knows the hour where the Lord shall come, watch therefore and don't sleep, neither look back.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / Wait Upon The Lord by REDH2: 1:17am On Apr 19, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Wait upon the Lord

Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Beloved, there is a race set before you as a believer. You have to run this race in order to obtain the prize and reign in Glory with Jesus Christ in Heaven but the strength to run this race is from the Lord.

In the Lord is everlasting strength, the Lord is never weary neither does He faint. If you decide to run this race with your strength, you will utterly fail, therefore for you to win, you have to depend on the Lord for strength daily.

Know this of a surety; if you will make it a daily lifestyle to wait upon the Lord,
- you will run and not be weary,
- you will walk like Jesus and not faint,
- your strength will be renewed like an eagle.

When other believers around you are complaining that to be a Christian is difficult, to you it is the very opposite because you are not running the race with your strength but His, therefore it is not difficult. All you have to do is WAIT UPON THE LORD. The following are principles you must follow to wait upon the Lord;

- Seek the Lord daily for strength through diligent prayers. Prayer is humility before the Lord and a way of acknowledging that you have no strength to carry through the day and that only Him can see you through the day without you compromising. Therefore, daily kneel before the Lord, acknowledge Him and ask Him to help you to run the race for that day.

- Read, study, memorize and meditate on the Word of GOD. Beloved, there is tendency to be weary and tired but daily reading of and meditation on the Word of GOD will build your faith and strengthen you for each day.
Psalms 119:28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

- Trust in the Lord always. Don't trust in your strength or ability. Isaiah 26:4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength
- Do that which is pleasing in His sight.
- Abstain from all appearance of evil. Sin, worldliness and fleshly lusts are weights that will limit and weaken you. Therefore do not give in to temptation to compromise and sin.
- Be consistent in waiting upon the Lord. Take this journey to Heaven one step at a time. Forget the past, focus on pleasing the Lord each day, don't think about the next day. The most important thing is at the moment: are you upright before GOD? If you are not, repent and continue running the race in Holiness.

1 Samuel 2:9b for by strength shall no man prevail. To prevail and be a victorious christian in this world and make it to Heaven at last, it is by the strength of the Lord GOD, therefore WAIT YE ON THE LORD THY GOD!

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / Are You Living For Him? by REDH2: 2:48am On Apr 18, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Are you living for Him?

2 Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Beloved, you have to lose your life to gain eternal life, you have to hate your life to gain Christ Jesus and eternal life. Being born again means your life has been given to Christ Jesus and He is now Lord over your life. Many claim to be born again but they have not truly given their life to Christ.

Have you given your life to Christ Jesus? Ponder on this! Examine your life, are you still chasing after the things of this world, material things, things which do not profit your soul? Are you still living in sin - gossiping, backbiting, disobedience, lying, swearing, fornicating, stealing and so on which you know of?

Are you living for Him? You are saved to live for Him. When you were not saved, you were living for yourself, you live anyhow, talk anyhow, dress anyhow, but now that you are saved, does your life reflect Him? Is He really the Lord of your life?

Can men differentiate between you and the people of the world? If you can't forsake the world for Him, how then can you please Him?

The Lord is calling you to repentance Beloved, you claim to be saved, you pray in unknown tongues, you preach the gospel, you work in the House of GOD but before GOD, you are still living like the world. You claim to follow Him, you claim to love Him but in works you deny Him.

Beloved, this is the time for you to make your life right with GOD, you are not own again, your life is not yours but His, therefore forsake the World and its pleasures, sin and fleshly lusts and live for Him in Holiness, purity consecration and sanctification.

Are you living for Him? Or you are living for yourself? Who are you living for?

Where you will end up in eternity ( Heaven or Hell) will be determined by who you are living for. I beseech you therefore to forsake all including yourself and live for Him. Repent now!

John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / Let Your Garment Be Always White by REDH2: 7:57am On Apr 17, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Let your garment be always white

Ecclesiastes 9:8a Let thy garments be always white

Beloved, the Lord whom you serve is a Holy GOD and He desire that you likewise live Holy. The world is full of sin, uncleanness and impurities but as a follower of Jesus Christ, it is your responsibility not to touch unclean things and keep your garment undefiled.

What are those things that will dirty your garment? Sin, worldliness, unholy companions, unholy conversation, fleshly lusts. Despite all these always posing to dirty your garment, you have a choice daily to keep your garment white and spotless. Therefore;

- Don't join multitude to do evil
- Flee from unholy conversation
- Say no to sin, of a surety you will be tempted to sin just like Joseph, Daniel, Adam and Eve but it is your choice to say yes or no. I beseech you Beloved to say no to temptation to sin. Don't negotiate with the devil like Eve did, say no and flee like Joseph. Take your stand to live Holy and blameless.
- Abstain from fleshly lusts and worldliness which does not profit your soul, neither do they edify you or glorify GOD. You know them; comedy, worldly dressing and lifestyle, worldly songs and movies, and so on.

Beloved, everyone around you may decide to compromise and do things that does not glorify GOD but you must be different. Do you know that in the midst of this perverse world full of worldliness and sin, you can be blameless and your garment without spot? Yes, it is possible - Noah, Daniel, Joseph and Job are examples in their generation. In every situation, there is always a choice: either to please GOD and live Holy or to displease Him and sin.

Now, the Word of GOD to you is LET YOUR GARMENT ALWAYS BE WHITE. Beloved, as in the time of Noah, so it is in this present generation; there are but a few whose garment are always white. Are you one of them? Are you living blameless?


Can the Lord GOD testify of you that your garment is spotless and that you are blameless just He did of Job?

Beloved, examine your life, repent where necessary and daily let you garment be ALWAYS white. Whenever sin comes knocking, don't give it entrance, an entrance will stain your garment.

Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

Only those whose garment are white and not defiled with sin, worldliness and fleshly lust are worthy to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Heaven is a Holy place prepared for a Holy and blameless people.

Beloved, obey the Word of the Lord, keep your garment always white and you will be worthy to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.

Religion / Are You A Professor? by REDH2: 2:25am On Apr 16, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Are you professor?

Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Beloved, many believers profess to know GOD, many profess that they are Christians yet their life does not match with the life of Christ Jesus.

Are you a professor but in deed you deny the one whom you call Lord? Beloved, examine your life, are you truly a Christian? Or you just profess and claim to be one?

Beloved, turn to GOD in repentance, amend your ways, don't be a professor. Yes, you pray for long hours, yes you sing, you preach the gospel, you prophesy and so many ministration according to the gift given you by GOD but the question is this;

- Are you living in the Truth?
- Is your life pleasing to GOD?
- Are you living like Christ Jesus lived, are you following His footsteps daily?
- The words you speak, the things you do both in the open and in the secret, the places you go, the discussions you partake in, the clothes you wear and the way you dress; does it conform/match with the words you profess that He is your Lord? Is He truly your Lord?

You profess and claim that He is your Lord yet you do not obey Him, yet you do not do that which pleases Him, yet you involve yourself in things that has no eternal value, yet you speak like the world, dress like the world, sing worldly songs, lie always, gossip about your fellow man and many more.

Beloved, reflect on the way you have lived and living currently, where are you found wanting? Repent and address it, flee from sin, worldliness, fleshly lust and vain conversation, walk in Holiness, consecration, purity and sanctification. Humble yourself before Him and ask for His Grace, and surely He will help you. Stop being a professor and be a true follower of Christ Jesus.

Beloved, do the will of the Father. In all your conversations, please the Lord your GOD and you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Religion / Don't Be A Chaff by REDH2: 1:50am On Apr 15, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Don't be a chaff

Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
3:12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

Beloved, the Lord Jesus desire that you live a life purged from the world and of sin. He came and died for you that you may live to please the Lord and commune with Him, He died and raised again that you might be free from being a slave to sin.

Know one thing of a surety Beloved, Christ Jesus has paid the price that you might be redeemed, all that He seeks is that you forsake and flee from your sins and that on the final day - that great and wonderful day for all the saints - you may be gathered into the Home which He went to prepare for you.

From the anchor scripture, the saints are likened to be wheat and those who have decided to remain and abide in sin, who have decided to cleave to the world and not to righteousness are likened to the chaff. The Lord Jesus will gather His wheat (His people, those who have forsaken all and followed irrespective of temptations, trials and persecution) into the garner i.e the saints will be gathered in Heaven in Glory with great rejoicing while the chaff will be burnt with unquenchable fire (Hell).

Beloved, the Lord GOD does not delight that you perish in Hell but that you would come to repentance. It is not over Beloved! No! It is not! there is still hope for you. Return to the Lord your GOD while there is yet time. You have this opportunity now to choose where you will end up, what will be your choice?

Is it to reign with Christ Jesus, the assembly of the saints in great glory or spend eternity in everlasting burning which has no end where the worm dieth not and the fire are unquenchable? The choice is yours but I beseech you to choose Life. Flee worldliness, sin, fleshly lust, vain conversation and vain things and cleave to Christ Jesus daily walking in Holiness, purity, consecration and sanctification.

Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

By the mercies and Grace of GOD, if you would obey the Word of GOD, we shall rejoice in Heaven. Amen.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom.
