The Rebranded Christian Life Called Born Again - By Brother Lugard Ekhator

The Rebranded Christian Life Called Born Again - By Brother Lugard Ekhator


"Ye must be born again" Jesus said in John 3:7.
Brothers and sisters, are you truly born again or you simply rebranded?

May the Holy Spirit speak to your heart as you listen to this message in Jesus name. Amen.

The Rapture Is Now!!! - By Brother Lugard Ekhator

The Rapture Is Now!!! - By Brother Lugard Ekhator


I recorded this video message at 02:08 AM midnight on Sunday, 29th June, 2014, after waking up from a rapture dream.
Brethren the LORD is already standing at the door for the rapture. Please clean up your life now and make every necessary restitution you needed to make because there is no more time.

If you die right now, are you sure you will be worthy to stand before the LORD as you are now? God is holy and HE demands that we should be holy too 1 Peter 1:15-16, because without holiness, no man shall see the HIM Hebrews 12:14.

Meanwhile some Christians are waiting to first the repentance of their pastors from worldliness before they will repent themselves. You are in great danger for choosing this line my dear friend because you don't know the day you would die. Please amend your ways now before it is too late.

May the LORD cause you to repent after watching this message in Jesus name. Amen.
Shalom!

Late Kefee Branama May Have Missed Heaven

Late Kefee Branama May Have Missed Heaven

Warning:
To God be all the glory.
Please I have never had a divine encounter with Jesus Christ of visiting heaven and or hell fire, nor is this message here one of it right now. So don’t say in your heart that Lugard Osakpamwan Ekhator is judging late Kefee Branama. This is very far from it please!
However, a lady will shortly have a divine encounter about this subject matter, hence my title says ‘KEFEE BRANAMA MAY HAVE MISSED HEAVEN’, which is to avoid preempting what you have no FULL knowledge or information about. Take note.
But if you ever feel in your heart that I am judging you by this post, then know that YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT A CHILD OF GOD AT ALL.
God bless you all.

Revelation 21:27 “And there shall in no wise enter into it (heaven) any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.”
Psalm 24:3 “Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob.”

This message is a direct WARNING to all musical artists especially the supposed Christian artists and gospel singers, who to a greater perception of their hearts believed that by reason of singing supposed gospel songs, they are Christians and heaven-bound even though their works, deeds, actions, associations and lifestyle speaks otherwise.  And it is also to you Christians that holds the truth of the Holy Bible in lie Romans 1:25. Those who have ears to hear should hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches Revelation 2:7.

So it was in a church service in my dream that this matter was brought to a particular pastor. When this humble man of God was told by his church members what they (not me) have heard concerning the late Kefee Branama about missing heaven in a divine encounter by one lady, and unlike this man of God who does not believes nor subscribes to such matters, he began to preach on the need of cleansing oneself of any filthiness of both the heart and the body as a Christian, sighting late Kefee in his message as an example of a Christian that missed heaven as he was told by his members, which appeared like Kefee was a member of his ministry before her death, but on the reality Kefee was never a member of that church. (I don’t even think that late Kefee ever stepped her feet into this particular church in any place in the world in her lifetime because they are opposite of each other in believe, practice and in action.)

So this pastor said “late Kefee did well by cleaning herself up in the body, but she forgot that the cleansing was also required in the heart”. He went further to enumerate some of the measures that were already in place in his ministry for truthful worship of the LORD in various states across Nigeria as true Christians.
Although I don’t know nor am I sure if late Kefee ever cleaned up herself of body defilement like wearing makeup, using artificial nails, artificial eye lashes, artificial hair, jewelries and other satanic materials on her body before she died, but the statement of this pastor somehow suggested that late Kefee may have died with some filthiness of the heart, particularly unforgiveness and bitterness against someone in her heart, which she may not have settled before her untimely death.

I for one never met late Kefee in her lifetime, nor did I have any form of communication with her whatsoever. I was never her fan neither did I followed her on social media as well. I only knew her through people that were calling her a Christian gospel singer, though I never bought nor listened to her music which people were calling gospel music. This I noticed after her death when I began reading all the wonderful things that people were writing about her immediately her death was announced on 13th June, 2014. If good works and deed saves, late armed robber Lawrence Anini of Edo State in the 80s would have been in heaven right now.

Now a Christian is any one who has repented of their sins by confessing and forsaking them Acts 3:19. They are the one that have make Jesus their only LORD and saviour Acts 16:31. They are the ones dipped and washed in the blood of Jesus Christ Revelation 7:14. They are the ones who the god of this world is not their master 2 Corinthians 4:4. They are the ones whose robes are spotless, clean and without blemish Ephesians 5:27. They are the ones who do not conform to this world but always transform themselves by renewing their minds in the undiluted word of God Romans 12:1-2. They are the ones who have cleaned up themselves of the filthiness of flesh and spirit 2 Corinthians 7:1.
They also include the ones that do not decorate themselves with the things of this world 1 Timothy 2:9, 1 Peter 3:3. They are the ones that truly fear the LORD Deuteronomy 6:2. They are the ones who are truly born again and not born against John 3:3-7, 1 Peter 1:23. They are the ones whose body, soul and spirit are blameless before God 1 Thessalonians 5:23. They are the ones that mortify (self-denial) the deeds of the flesh, not modifying (partial change) it Romans 8:13. They are the ones that do the will of God Matthew 7:21, 1 John 2:17. They are the ones which the Holy Spirit bears witness about before God Romans 8:16. They are the ones whose life is dead to the love of this world 1 John 2:15-17. They are the ones that obey God Ecclesiastes 12:13. They are the ones that call on God out of a pure heart 2 Timothy 2:22. They are the one that do the truth and come to the light John 3:21. They are the ones that are holy inside out 1 Peter 1:15-16. They are the ones that worship God in spirit and in truth John 4:23-24. They are the ones that delight themselves in the law of God Psalm 1:1-3. They are the ones that truly loved God by obeying all his commandments John 14:15. They are the ones that do not abuse the grace of God in their lives Galatians 2:21. They don’t hide under grace to commit sin Romans 6:1-2. And the list goes on and on and on.

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH” John 4:24. You cannot be a worshipper of God when you hate the light and refused to come to the truth John 3:20. You cannot be a worshipper of God when your deeds and actions always anger the Holy Spirit Ephesians 4:30. You cannot be a worshipper of God when you are still living in your life Romans 8:8. You cannot be a worshipper of God when another spirit outside the Holy Spirit is the one leading and directing you of what to do Acts 13:6-11. You cannot be a worshipper of God when your supposed born again life has no difference from your former life in your sins 1 Peter 1:14. You cannot be a worshipper of a HOLY GOD when you are bearing the fruits of the flesh Galatians 5:19-21. No, it’s not possible! How can you start in the spirit and you became perfect in the flesh, and you are expecting to make heaven? Galatians 3:3. You are just day-dreaming my dear friend.
2 Corinthians 5:17 says “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Old things must truly pass away from your life before you can worship God in spirit and in truth. There’s no two ways or a short cut about it, as narrow still remains the way to heaven Matthew 7:14.

Therefore due to the fact that you bear a Christian name does not make you a Christian. That your parents are pastors does not make you a Christian. That you belong to a particular church denomination does not make you a Christian. That you attended a Christian school does not make you a Christian. That you compose, write and sing gospel songs does not make you a Christian. That you act Christian films does not make you a Christian. That you build churches for God does not make you a Christian. That you are a pastor that preaches the gospel does not make you a Christian. That you are a miracle working pastor does not make you a Christian.
What makes you a true Christian is the fact that you have been separated from the world, cleanse without sport or wrinkle inside out, have the witness of the Holy Spirit and no unclean thing is found in you 2 Corinthians 6:14-18. It is only then that you are a Christian, and living a life of purity, peace and holiness on a daily basis Hebrews 12:14. You must likewise bear the Fruit of the Spirit in you, and not the demonstration of the power of the gifts of the Spirit only Galatians 5:22-23.

You comedians, film actors and actresses, artists and gospel singers out there who have all wonderful records in your various churches but has none in heaven, repent today because you will surely make it to hell fire when you died with truly being a Christian in life and in practice. The arm of flesh will forever fail you. Only Jesus Christ can save you when you truly worship and serve HIM with all sincerity, without any form of defilement whatsoever.
To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

I trust that the LORD has spoken to your heart right now. It is now left for you to put what you heard in practice because; only the doers of the world are justified Romans 2:13. Remember that there’s no repentance in the grave Hebrews 9:29. God bless you.
Shalom!

Pharaoh Let My People Go

Pharaoh Let My People Go

N. B. Ensure that you share this message with your General Overseer, General Superintendent, Senior Pastor, Evangelist, Archbishop, Bishop, Prophet and Prophetess.

Text: Exodus 4:21 "And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn."

When the LORD threatened Pharaoh even with the death of his firstborn son, HE was given him the benefit of the doubt if peradventure he would repent of his stubbornness and let Israel, the firstborn of God to go a serve HIM.

But alas Pharaoh hardened his heart even after the death of his firstborn son. So himself had to die for God's own firstborn to be free in the service of God.
Exodus 14:23 "And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them."

In the Christendom today, the various General Overseers, Presidents and church founders, Senior Pastors, Pope, Prophets and Prophetess are the ones now represented by Pharaoh. This is because they are the ones now holding back the people of God and preventing them to serve god in spirit and in truth John 4:23-24.

You may be taken aback at my position right now but I know what I am saying and I know what I have seen.

Yes any pastor, no matter the position he or she occupied in the church, the anointing of such a pastor, or the number of years of service in the vineyard of God, as much as you know the truth but fails to say/preach it, YOU ARE A PHARAOH.
Any pastor that stopped his or her members from listening and believing in the messages of true pastors that preaches on the condemnation of women wearing trousers, women opening their hair while praying, Christians using jewelries, rings, bangles and chains, YOU ARE A PHARAOH.
Any anointed pastor that allow his or members to paint their faces like Jezebel, fix and make their hair with attachment, weavon, and all other unnatural hair extensions, YOU ARE A PHARAOH.
Any pastor that encourages his or her members to tattoo themselves, smoke cigarettes, cocaine and other substances, and drink alcohol, YOU ARE A PHARAOH.
Any pastor that allow women to use trousers and all other ungodly clothes on their body in their churches, YOU ARE A PHARAOH.
Any pastor or church leaders, which discipline or expel their members who believe and accept biblical truth on divine revelations and messages, YOU ARE A PHARAOH.
Any pastor that does not teach the word in its raw state because of the fear of losing members, YOU ARE A PHARAOH.
In fact all the pastors who do not use any satanic materials on their own body, but do allow it on their member’s body, YOU ARE A PHARAOH.
Any pastor that tells his or her members that God is only concerned about their hearts and not their body, YOU ARE A PHARAOH.

The LORD God hardened the hearts of the Egyptians in order to get honour upon Pharaoh to destroy him.
Exodus 14: 17 “And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.”
You pastors holding back the children of God from serving and worshipping their God in truth and in spirit, as the LORD God Almighty destroyed Pharaoh so that the Israelites will be free to worship HIM, destruction likewise awaits you all except you people repent.

Acts 20:28 "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood."
Jesus Christ died and redeemed us with HIS own precious blood. Pastors, none of you died for your members, none of you have any heaven of your own for your members, none of you have the capacity to save your members. Therefore, why are you denying God HIS right to save HIS own children by HIS raw word?
Pharaoh, let the people of go and serve HIM in truth and in spirit.

The Deceived Elect Of God

The Deceived Elect Of God

Matthew 24:4 “And Jesus answered and said unto them, TAKE HEED THAT NO MAN DECEIVE YOU.
5 FOR MANY SHALL COME IN MY NAME, SAYING, I AM CHRIST; AND SHALL DECEIVE MANY.
24 FOR THERE SHALL ARISE FALSE CHRISTS, AND FALSE PROPHETS, AND SHALL SHEW GREAT SIGNS AND WONDERS; insomuch that, if it were possible, THEY SHALL DECEIVE THE VERY ELECT.”
There are some group of Christians belong to a particular denomination in Nigeria, shouting and chanting “I am a chosen, I shall not be deceived”, whereas they’ve been deceived already to their own damnation.
This is to kindly encourage you all members of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Church to please seek the ONE and ONLY true God, the LORD Jesus Christ and you wouldn’t be deceived when you find HIM.

Revelation 3: 20 “Behold, I (Jesus Christ) stand at the door, and knock: if any man (you and me) hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Behold HE is already standing at the door of your heart knocking. Will you open the door and allow HIM come into your heart today so that you might know HIM? This is the acceptable time to do so Isaiah 49:8.
God bless you.

Adultery Is DEADLY

Adultery Is DEADLY

James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."

Adultery is deadly and will definitely send you to hell fire, if you fail to repent and seek for the mercy of God 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.

Adulterers and adulteresses, REPENT BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUR WAY TO HELL FIRE RIGHT NOW.

You boy running after other men's wife, repent now!
You man committing immorality with other men's wife, repent now!
You girl running after other women's husband, repent now!
You woman engaging other women's husband in sexual immorality, repent now!
You man having more than one wife, send every other women parking right now and live ONLY your first wife. Others are fornicators and you have been committing fornication with them. Repent now!
You 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, - - - 110th wife to a man, repent and park out of that home. You are a fornicator and no fornicator will ever make heaven. Repent now!

If you hardened your heart, YOU WILL SURELY HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME.

Numbers 5:19 "And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman (not women), If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband (not husbands), be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
28 And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed."

God Answered Prayers Against Enemies Within

God Answered Prayers Against Enemies Within

Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."

Few days ago during our prayer in the evening, I read the passage above to my family. One of the prayer point I raised that evening was:
"Father, anyone sitting on my destiny, let them confess, and tomorrow I shall receive a call about it." We prayed it like that and with our prayers ended, we went to bed.

By the grace of God and according to our declaration of faith during our prayers in the night, I received a phone call from a friend in morning the following day. And it was not a palatable one concerning my very self. Ha! The devil is very wicked.

David said "FOR IT WAS NOT AN ENEMY THAT REPROACHED ME; then I could have borne it: NEITHER WAS IT HE THAT HATED ME THAT DID MAGNIFY HIMSELF AGAINST ME; then I would have hid myself from him: BUT IT WAS THOU, A MAN MINE EQUAL, MY GUIDE, AND MINE ACQUAINTANCE. WE TOOK SWEET COUNSEL TOGETHER, AND WALKED UNTO THE HOUSE OF GOD IN COMPANY. Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me." Psalm 55:12-16.

I have no more to say than the prayer of David.
LORD, let death seize upon all our frienemies in Jesus name.
Let them go down quickly to their graves should they fail to repent from their wickedness against us in Jesus name.
As far as they make wickedness their dwelling place, let no evil depart from their doorsteps forever should they fail to repent in Jesus name.
LORD, in spite of their wicked devices against us your children, grant us your divine grace to soar far and higher than all they will ever imagined in Jesus name.
Should Christ tarry O LORD, we all shall fulfil our destinies in Jesus name.
We refused to die according to the wicked devices of all our enemies who come in as friends in Jesus name.
I cover our, children, wife, husband, ministry, job, office, homes and family with the Most Precious BLOOD OF Jesus Christ.
Thank you gracious Father for answered prayers, in Jesus super name we have prayed. Amen.
Shalom!

Mystery Of The Resurrection Of The Dead

Mystery Of The Resurrection Of The Dead

Text: 1 Corinthians 15:12-32
12 “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.”

SHORT PRAYER
LORD Jesus, as Your word says that “there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8, I therefore submit myself for Your own usage unto Your own glory. As the thought of this message dropped in my spirit today, 19th June, 2014, inspire me O LORD to speak Your word with precision that whoever will come across it shall be blessed and be refined in their Christian work with You. Give me the understanding of Your word O LORD that it might convert the hearts of sinners unto You that will come across this message in Jesus name.
LORD, I bring myself under the control of the Holy Spirit. Let me not speak of myself O LORD but of Your mind towards us Your children. At the end, only Your name shall all praise, glory, honour and thanksgiving be giving to in Jesus Mighty name I have prayed. Amen. Praise the LORD! Hallelujah.

In our text above, Apostle Paul make it abundantly clear that if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Jesus did not rise after all, and that our faith is vain and we are still in our sins, and that the believers who died in Christ including himself (now dead) are perished forever 1 Corinthians 15:16-18. To the glory of God, Christ is risen indeed. Luke 24:33 “And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.”
This message by the help of the Holy Spirit is to bring our brethren who have a deceptive opinion and idea in relation to the state of the dead into the truth, as some of them believed that the dead are still in their graves waiting the day of judgment. Amen.

Again if you believed that the dead are still in their various graves, your position will counter and run contrary to the scriptures because, Jesus presented a story that speaks about a soul in heaven and a soul in the torments of hell fire, with a substantial evidence of Father Abraham, to prove the authenticity of the story. Also the reality of the resurrection was substantiated too. Who knows better than the KING of kings and LORD of lords?
Luke 16:19-31
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

When we are talking about resurrection, we are referring to ‘a revival of inactivity or disuse’. The dead that are buried already in their graves, or those swallowed up by whales in the ocean, those eaten by wild animals in the forest, those whose dead bodies were never located, those burnt on fire due to accidents and some due to strange beliefs in some climes, in fact every single dead human being irrespective of the nature or otherwise of their death are ALL IN INACTIVITY AND DISUSE state.
And for the fact that they were all created by God and they once lived on this earth before their death, there is surely going to be a resurrection for them all, whether they know and served God in their lifetime or not. They all will be resurrected either to the resurrection of LIFE, or to the resurrection of DAMNATION (DEATH). John 5:28 “Marvel not at this: for THE HOUR IS COMING, IN THE WHICH ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES SHALL HEAR HIS VOICE, 29 AND SHALL COME FORTH; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” Hallelujah.

But let me quickly point out here that the dead in the graves already right now are there with their BODY (sand) ONLY Job 34:15. Their spirit which is the breathe of the Almighty God on the sand during the creation of man that transformed man into a LIVING SOUL Genesis 2:7, do live the body immediately at death Ecclesiastes 12:7. Only the body of man dies, the spirit never dies but will go into eternity either in heaven or in hell fire, to present the activities of the body to God for judgment Revelation 22:12.
With this understanding, you should be able to decide your place of eternity by the work(s) you are doing right here on earth with or on your body right now. This is why I pity the so called Christians that hold the doctrine of Satan with their continuous abuse of their body with all of devil’s work and claiming that God is only interested in their hearts. Unfortunately, the judgment of God either for your glorious eternity in heaven or for your vexatious damnation in hell fire is by what was done on your body. Your spirit which is the living being in the lifeless sand (body) you are proud of and carrying about always obey your instructions either to do good or to do bad. Therefore whatever (works) were done by your lifeless sand (body) which you moved your spirit to achieve is what is going to face judgment when you drop this sandy (body) property of yours in death Ecclesiastes 12:14. May the Holy Spirit give you understanding in Jesus name. Amen.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR BODY ABUSING CHRISTIANS
2 Corinthians 6:16 “And what agreement hath the temple of God (body) with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
1 Corinthians 6:12-20
12 “All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. NOW THE BODY IS NOT FOR FORNICATION, BUT FOR THE LORD; AND THE LORD FOR THE BODY.
14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15 KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODIES ARE THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; BUT HE THAT COMMITTETH FORNICATION SINNETH AGAINST HIS OWN BODY.
19 What? KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE OF GOD, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN?
20 For ye are bought with a price: THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR BODY, AND IN YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD'S.”

I encourage you to start taking stock of what you are doing on/with your body right now as you are still alive because, if you die without the proper use of your body, and without making reconciliation with God for the forgiveness of your sins before your death, YOU ARE SURELY GOING TO RECEIVE THE JUDGMENT OF DAMNATION from the presence of God Daniel 12:2. Therefore do away with your hair attachment, weavon, rings, makeup, jewelries, wearing trouser as a woman, bleaching, tattooing, perming, jerry curling, eye lashes, fake nails, nose rings, golden teeth, body exposing clothes etc. All these things you are corrupting your body with will surely damn your soul in hell fire. Your body is meant for the glory of God and not for idols. Repent now and stop the use of these rubbish devil’s properties on your body because time is no more 1 John 5:21. Praise the LORD.

AFTER JESUS RESURRECTED
To understand the mystery of the resurrection of the dead, let us consider the account of Jesus Christ when He appeared unto His disciples after His resurrection in Luke 24:36-43.
36 “And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.”

Here, the same disciples that Jesus told that He will resurrect after three days from the dead Mark 10:34, doubted Jesus who was PHYSICALLY present with them. To douse their doubts and unbelief, Jesus told them that a spirit have no flesh and bones as He was having right there. To further prove that He was the real same Jesus in another body and not a spirit as the disciples had alleged, He ate food with them, they touched and felt His body. Amen.
This is in addition to the fact that they had earlier doubted Him to be a spirit while He was not yet dead then Matthew 14:25-26. This is why a lot of people are being misled and deceived by the devil today, as he continue to present false images of dead people to them calling them spirits. May God have mercy on the deceived in Jesus name. Amen.
We can see that if Jesus had never resurrected and if it was His spirit that was hovering on the earth, no physical eyes would have been able to see Him talk less of Jesus eating with the living Acts 10:41. This would have then given some credibility to the people saying that they saw the spirit of a dead person but they can’t relate with them. Please, do not allow the devil to continue in deceiving you because no spirit of a dead person hangs around here on earth after his/her death, like as the Catholics are preaching purgatory to deceive their sinner members. The spirit can either go straight to heaven or to hell fire as a soul according to the things done on their body while on earth 2 Corinthians 5:10, which will also return to be resurrected , the saved ones at the rapture 1 Thessalonians 4:16, while the damned ones in the final judgment Revelation 20:12-13. Amen.

HOW DO THE DEAD RESURRECT AND WITH WHAT BODY?
We should know that before there will be any resurrection, there must be death first. We must also understand that to be resurrected from inactivity or disuse of the body, which by this time has become ordinary sand which it was originally taken from, it, will require another kind of body too.
John 5:28 “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
1 Corinthians 15:35-58.
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56  The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

In the resurrection of the dead, the BODY is sown in corruption, and raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, and raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, and raised in power. It is sown a natural body, and raised a spiritual body. It is sown in mortality, and raised in immortality.
With this understanding of the body the resurrected souls do come forth, it is now clear why the disciples of Jesus Christ and others saw Him after His resurrection. And from this understanding, we can therefore confirm that both those who will be resurrecting to either LIFE in heaven or DEATH in hell fire will resurrect with another body which is not subject to anything this natural body of ours is subjected to Matthew 22:30-31. Amen.
Now as for how the dead will resurrect, the saints will hear the voice of Jesus Christ in their graves John 5:25 and resurrect to glory in heaven with the voice of the trumpet in rapture 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 1 Corinthians 15:52. And the sinners will resurrect to damnation in hell fire during the final judgment Revelation 20:12-13.

THE MYSTERY
Acts 24:14 "But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men."
1 Thessalonians 4:14 "For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him."
The mystery of the resurrection of the dead is that both believers who died in Christ, and the sinners that died in their sins will resurrect. The souls of the saints who are in heaven right now, and the souls of the sinners in hell fire right now will all be resurrected.
The souls of the saints will leave heaven in the rapture and resurrect from wheresoever they were buried either in whole or in pieces, and then returned back to heaven with the LORD Jesus Christ together with the living saints at that time, for eternity. What a glory! LORD, help me to make it to heaven by your grace in Jesus name. Amen.
Likewise the souls of the sinners in hell fire right now will leave hell fire to wheresoever they were buried, and resurrect to face the final judgment, and then be casts back to their destination in hell fire for eternity. Please my brethren, hell fire was created for the devil and his angels ONLY Matthew 25:41. Please obey the word of God in its entirety, repent of your sins and amend your ways so that you can escape the damnation in hell fire. H-E-L- L IS R-E-A-L. Please don't go to hell.
This is a mystery indeed, and only the Christians with the TRUE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD WILL ASSIMILATE the depths of this mystery unfolded here. HaHallelujah.
However there are supposed Christians here, who may see this mystery as self inspired but I have presented it to you, and it is left for you to accept or reject it. The choice is yours. God bless you.

CONCLUSION
Should you desire to partake of the resurrection of life and not of death, you must work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12 “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”
Jesus said “What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.” Matthew 10:27. So if you care for the salvation of your soul in heaven, you have to believe the word of God, even as I have presented it to you here.
God bless you.

Shalom!

Rapture Bliss

Rapture Bliss

Matthew 24:30 "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
1 Thessalonians 4:13 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

Although the word 'Rapture' never occurred throughout the Bible, but we that are Christians knows that it is a timeless event in the Christian circle Matthew 24:36, which will cause the resurrection of the souls of all DEAD SAINTS since the world began and the caughting up of the souls of the LIVING SAINTS together to meet the LORD Jesus Christ in the air. Father, help me to partake in this first resurrection in Jesus name. Amen. Revelation 20:6.

As timeless as the rapture, the Bible however provided us with enough clues relating to this greatest event of all human existence on earth to aid our preparedness for this most exciting and most rewarding event for the TRUE SAINTS of God. Being timeless is to enable us prepare for its eventuality at all times. Are you therefore in the number to be rapture by Jesus Christ, whether in your death or now that you are still alive? Examine yourself today.

BE PREPARED
2 Peter 3:8 "But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
In order for us not to lose out or miss the rapture, we must be ready for it every seconds of our lives with the consciousness that, should I die this minute or the trumpet of rapture sound right now, will I make it? This consciousness will therefore cause you to always abhor sinful atmosphere 1 Thessalonians 5:22, and you will then be able to truly redeem the time because the days are evil Ephesians 5:16.

SOME RAPTURE CLUES
1. It will take place like a thief in the night without any prior warnings or notices - Revelation 16:15, Luke 12:39-40, 2 Peter 3:10, Revelation 3:3, 1 Thessalonians 5:2-4, 1 Peter 4:15.
Thieves do swoop on their victims without any prior warnings or notices. For Our Master Jesus Christ to likened His coming for the rapture 'as a thief in the night', this therefore calls for EXTRA VIGILANCE on our Christian work with God, so that we wouldn't be taken unawares. Are you ready?

2. It will be sudden - Luke 12:47, Matthew 25:13; 24:42-44, Luke 21:34-36, Mark 13:35-37.
The suddenness of the rapture will make a lot of people to be left behind. But no matter the suddenness, the Christians that are determined will be rapture. Are you ready?

3. It has no specific day, time or season to take place - Matthew 24:20, Mark 13:35.
In fact many Christians will be in the stadium busy watching football, others will be playing games on their computers, mobile phones, Xbox, play station, and some glued to their TV sets with their games. A lot more will be in movie theatres, cinema, club houses, beauty pageant shows, and other social and leisure environment when the trumpet will sound. These careless and every unprepared Christians will surely miss the rapture. Are you ready?

4. It is likened to death - Luke 12:16-20.
Most Christians today don't even give thought to their death anymore. They keep on declaring the word of God that 'I shall not die but live' with careless abandon. This now resulted with them shifting their salvation saying there's time. Friend, time is up as we are now living on borrowed time.
Even at that, do you know the time of your death? If you fail to prepare for the rapture now that you are still alive, you will surely missed it in your death as there's no repentance in the grave Hebrews 9:27. Are you ready?

5. Angels also affirmed the rapture reality - Acts 1:9-11.
Jesus Christ stated that He will definitely return at a time in the Father's disposition only Matthew 24:36. So the encouragement of the angels to apostles immediately after the ascension of Jesus Christ to heaven should be enough for you to prepare yourself because, whether you believed it or not, Jesus is coming now to take His holy saints home to heaven. Are you ready?

A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SURELY MISS THE RAPTURE
2 Peter 3:3 "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

As the passage above rightly says, a lot of supposed Christians today are doubting the reality of the rapture already. Because it didn't happen according to their own mindset, they've concluded that the rapture sermons are fables after all.

A day in the sight of God is like a thousand years. Therefore it's not my business whether the rapture take place now or in the the next one million years, my business is that by the grace of God, I am working out my salvation with fear and trembling, so that I will not miss the rapture whether in my death or alive.

1 John 3:3 "And every man that hath this hope (rapture) in him purifieth himself, even as he (Jesus Christ) is pure."
Do you have this hope of rapture in you as a true Christian?
Then you must be pure before you can qualify for the rapture because, Our LORD Jesus Christ who is coming to rapture the saints is PURE. Are you ready now?

Pray and ask God for the grace to remain rapturable to the end.
Shalom!

The Deceit Of The Supposed Born Again Christians

The Deceit Of The Supposed Born Again Christians

Romans 13:14 "But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."
Any professing Christian today whose lifestyle, conduct, approach, attitudes, actions, ways and likes does not conform to the life of Jesus Christ Our LORD and saviour is NOT a Christian but a religionist, and you are to be avoided by all possible means. 2 Timothy 3:5 "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

1 Peter 1:23 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
We were made born again WITH incorruptible seed. So if you still attach yourself with the paintings of Jezebel, the seduction clothing of Delilah, the whoredom hairdo of Babylon, the pride and catwalk of Vashti, the arrogancy of Pharaoh and other satanic things you are doing, then you were not really born again but YOU WERE TRULY BORN AGAINST.

Ephesians 5:27 "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
Repent of all your evil, wickedness and sin, amend your ways and clean up yourself of every form of defilement because, the HOLY Jesus Christ is coming for a holy individual without spot or wrinkles.

Revelation 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
Open the door of your heart today and invite Jesus in because He is already standing there knocking on your door, and waiting for you to open it for Him to come in.

Will you call upon His name now!!!
Shalom!

My Sincere Advice To All RCCG Parish Pastors Who Believes And Teaches Total Holiness

My Sincere Advice To All RCCG Parish Pastors Who Believes And Teaches Total Holiness

RCCG MEMBERS RESPONSIBILITY
Hebrews 13:7 "Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation."
Hebrews 13:17a "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves."

Members, you are encouraged to remember your parish pastors in your prayers 2 Thessalonians 3:1. You are to obey them (in the LORD), especially as they are preparing you for heaven with the undiluted word of God they are ministering to you John 6:40. You should follow and emulate their true believers example of holy living, righteous actions, truthful counsel and the fear of God they uphold 1 Corinthians 11:1.

The child of a goat is a goat, the child of a lion is a lion and the child of a monkey is a monkey Genesis 1:24-25. And so, the child of God is gods and children of the most High Psalm 82:6, John 10:34. Therefore your parish pastor cannot maintain true holiness inside out and displaying the fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22-23, while you his members will be decorating yourselves with the properties of Delilah and Jezebel in your body, while claiming holiness in your hearts whereas the outcome of your supposed holiness in your hearts is the fruits of flesh Galatians 5:19-21. Didn't your Bible tells you that the friendship of this world is enmity with God? James 4:4. So, what more do you want to hear?

Anyway, your parish pastor cannot force the word of God on you to be obeyed because salvation is personal Philippians 2:12, to serve and worship God in truth and in spirit is a choice Joshua 24:15, so also choosing life (heaven) or death (hell fire) is your choice to make too Deuteronomy 30:19. Therefore you are at liberty to live the type of Christianity you think that best suits you Proverbs 16:25.

But, should you find yourself in hell fire after spending several years in RCCG and occupying various positions and responsibilities, don't blame your parish pastor Proverbs 29:1, Ezekiel 33:4-5. You should blame yourself because he has been preaching the truth to you, but you chose to believe in lies in order to please yourself Romans 1:25.

The Bible had to WARNED US TWICE about the danger ahead of us, due to the things we think they are not sin in our sight and in the sight of God that we are doing. Proverbs 14:12 "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." Proverbs 16:25 "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."

Remember, the way to heaven is still very narrow Matthew 7:14, and total obedience to God's word Ecclesiastes 12:13, faith Hebrews 11:6, righteousness Matthew 6:33, purity of the body, soul and spirit 1 John 3:3, spotless garment Ephesians 5:27, holiness Hebrews 12:14, and several other virtue Colossians 3:12-17, Philippians 4:8-9 still remains the access code, and before the gate of the holy and glorious heaven will be open to you, your names MUST BE FOUND WRITTEN THERE Revelation 21:27.

Just as Jesus my Master, LORD and saviour would say, I am also saying to you right now: "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear" Mark 4:23; 7:16.
God bless you RCCG members.

RCCG PARISH PASTORS RESPONSIBILITY
Hebrews 13:17b "for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."

Dear RCCG parish pastors, the responsibility that Jesus Christ placed in your hands is enormous. Since your appointment to serve as a Parish Pastor especially for you part timers was made by your Area Pastors, which actually is a manmade appointment Matthew 19:12 that rules out divine calling into ministry 1 Samuel 3:4, but since you accepted the calling of these men, work to ensure that your calling and election is sure 2 Peter 1:10.

Now the members in your various parishes are under your custody because you are watching over their souls Hebrews 13:17. You must therefore ensure that you feed these members with the word of truth John 17:17; 21:15-17. You must ensure that they are cleanse from every form of contamination, filthiness and defilement of flesh and spirit 2 Corinthians 7:1. It is your responsibility to correct them with the undiluted word of God 2 Timothy 3:16.

Again, you are going to give account of these members to God and therefore, just as Jesus Christ Our Master lose none of the people that God gave Him except the son of perdition John 17:12, please ensure that none of your members end up in hell fire. Prepare them for heaven by not looking at their faces before declaring the counsel of God to them Jeremiah 1:17. If you truly love your members, you must teach them to obey all the word of God John 14:15, 21.

Now concerning your choir members, do you know that they are today entertaining the church members while heaven is denied of praises to God? This is because the sacrifice of the wicked (sinner) is abomination to God Proverbs 21:27. God is a holy God 1 Peter 1:15-16 and He can only receive the praises from a pure and holy vessels 2 Timothy 2:22.
So your choir members that usually paint up their faces, using weavon and attachment, fixing artificial nails and using jewelries and other satanic materials on their body are only singing to entertain the church, and not singing for heaven, nor to God, for they are still conferring with flesh and blood Galatians 1:16. The praises that God inhabits is the praises of His own people who are holy inside out 1 Peter 1:15.

Don't forget that the truth is very bitter John 6:60. Speak it to them and let those that want to go away go John 6:66. After all heaven is not going to accept everyone shouting 'I'm a Christian' but they are doing their own will Matthew 7:21. Those who need the words of eternal life will remain John 6:68.
Parish pastors, don't be afraid to lose members as the direct outcome of your bitter and uncompromising message, after all heaven only rejoices over the true salvation of a single sinner that repented from his/her sins Luke 15:10, than the multitude pretending Christians who have no record whatsoever in heaven, but their records in their church parishes are unbeatable, superlative and charming Luke 13:24-30.

Parish Pastors, of what use is having a big auditorium with millions of members and yet, no single worshipper of God John 4:23-24, nor anyone ready to carry their cross daily with Jesus? Luke 9:23.

As I am encouraging you right now, be ready to ride against the tide because RCCG is fast becoming worldly and compromising in everything Romans 1:21. Cheer up and take your stand with God because one with God is majority Psalm 118:6.

Remember, anyone that dared to live godly in Christ Jesus shall surely suffer persecution 2 Timothy 3:12. Don't also forget that for you to access the 'great and effectual door opened to you' by discovering the truth of God's word, there are many adversaries you must contend with 1 Corinthians 16:9.

Since you already know that a man's enemy shall be the people of his own household Matthew 10:36, be ready to face persecution from your fellow parish pastors, area pastors, zonal pastors, provincial pastors and regional pastors, for daring to tell your members that women using trousers, people using jewelries, chains, rings, earrings, attachment, weavon, makeup and all other satanic materials in the church, which they have used to defy themselves will never make heaven Revelation 21:27.
Friend, majority don't buy into this school of thought any more because they think that God had lowered His holy standard to make heaven Malachi 3:6. Please stand your ground because it is only the truth that has the capacity to set one free John 8:32.

Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world Jesus said unto you RCCG parish pastors, even if you will have tribulation in the world for following the truth John 16:33.
God bless you.

GENERAL ADVICE/WARNINGS TO ALL CHRISTIANS WHO WANT TO MAKE HEAVEN
In 1 John 3:4, the Bible says whosoever transgressed the law of God is a sinner, for sin is the transgression of the law. Friend, you that is building your house of faith on sandy soil, be rest assured that it is going to surely crumble Matthew 7:26-27. Get rid of all the contamination in your garment of faith now because the identity of a true born again Christian is a new creature in Christ Jesus 2 Corinthians 5:17.

How can you claimed to be buried with Christ by baptism into death (doing away with your old sinful nature by confessing your sins), that like as Christ was raised up from the dead (being saved now) by the glory of the Father, that you are now WALKING IN THE NEWNESS OF LIFE (not with your old former sinful, worldly, lustful and deceitful nature) Romans 6:4, but yet, you are still unequally yoked together with unbelievers; as your fellowship is with unrighteousness; your communion is with darkness; your concord is with Belial; your part is with infidel; your agreement is with idols and you are still claiming of being the temple of the living God? 2 Corinthians 6:14-16. No. It is surely never going to be possible! Romans 8:8 says "So then they that are in the flesh CANNOT please God."
You MUST be separated totally from your former sinful nature, and NO UNCLEANNESS must be found in you before the Almighty God can ever receive you as His son and daughter 2 Corinthians 6:17-18.

Your Christian identity now that you claimed to be in Christ must be devoid of all your previous identity which the sinful world people MUST notice and be seen Acts 4:13, Matthew 5:16. Therefore should the things you used to do in your time of ignorance in your sin 1 Peter 1:14, Acts 3:17; 17:30 be found in you today now that you claimed to be a Christian, then you were really never saved. No wonder Paul asked if you were foolish to have begun in the spirit, but you ended up being made perfect in flesh (sin) Galatians 3:3. This shows that you were only pretending to be a Christian but you weren't one, as you continue to deny the power of godliness 2 Timothy 3:5.

Therefore the eternal destination of all the people transgressing and compromising the law of God today in the churches is HELL FIRE, because no transgressor name will ever be found written in the Lamb's book of life Exodus 32:33. So you can continue to use anything you like on your body, do whatsoever things that pleases you, go anywhere you desire, receive, believe and accept the gospel of 'we are under grace', 'don't judge me', 'it doesn't matter', 'we are not under the law', 'eternal security of once save forever saved', 'God look at the heart and not the body', 'these are none essentials', 'salvation is by faith and not by work', and every other gospel that gladden your hearts and causes you to be very comfortable in your sins today in your churches, which your motivational and prosperity preaching pastors are feeding you with.

It's your choice but I have warned you.
Isaiah 66:24 "And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh."

I PRAY FOR YOU TODAY
Thank you LORD God Almighty for this advice I have passed across to all Christians in the body of Christ through this post. Please LORD, grant your grace to those that will amend their ways through this post. Help them not to return to their vomits again in Jesus name.
Please LORD Jesus Christ, forgive all their sins, and let them begin to live a victorious Christian life from today onward in Jesus name. Make them your true worshippers O LORD, so that their names will be found written in the Lamb's book of life.
Thank you Everlasting Father, for answering our prayers in Jesus name we have prayed. Amen.

Shalom!

Was The Temptations Of Jesus Christ In The Wilderness Physical Or Psychological?

The Temptations Of Jesus Christ
The temptations of Jesus Christ in the wilderness by the devil, was it physical, or Psychological? Discuss.
By: Brother Lugard Osakpamwan Ekhator

Text: James 1: 2 “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”

To get a proper understanding of the type of temptations that Our LORD Jesus Christ faced in the wilderness, as recorded in Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-14, it is good for us to know what temptation means. This is a vital discussion we must allow the Holy Spirit to guide us so that we don’t present a false teaching to you. Amen.

Now, according to the WordWeb dictionary, temptation mean:-
1. Something that seduces or has the quality to seduce
2. The desire to have or do something that you know you should avoid
3. The act of influencing by exciting hope or desire

Considering the three definitions of temptation above, we can literally conclude that the temptations that Jesus Christ Our saviour faced in the wilderness was a psychological one, without the presence of a physical tempter on sight. As we move further into this discussion, we will get to understand why Jesus temptations were psychological. May the Holy Spirit guide us into all truth in Jesus name. Amen.

LET’S BEGIN WITH THE REBUKE OF JESUS CHRIST AGAINST PETER
Matthew 16:23 “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.”
In considering the statement of Jesus Christ to Peter above, we can see that Peter was not a Satan as Jesus Christ called him, but one of the chosen twelve apostles by Jesus Christ Himself to be His disciples Luke 6:13. So, why will Jesus called His own disciple, who few minutes ago was described by Jesus Christ Himself  as a man not operating under the influence of flesh and blood, but under the influence of the Holy Spirit, which produces a divine revelation of the true personality of Jesus Christ  Matthew 16:17.

WHAT THEN HAPPENED?
Let’s see why Jesus Christ had to address Apostle Peter as ‘Satan’.
Matthew 16:21 “From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.”
Jesus Christ has just revealed to His disciples what lies ahead of Him in Jerusalem, concerning His suffering, death and resurrection, Peter began to rebuke Him saying ‘this shall not be unto you’. Here, we discovered that it was not the same Holy Spirit that just revealed the true personality of Jesus Christ to Peter a short while ago that was speaking through Peter now. Jesus understands that this was flesh in action and therefore, He had to curse the root and operator of flesh, which is Satan. This is because they that operate in flesh cannot please God Romans 8:8.
The language of Peter at that material time was not of heaven but of the world, where Satan is the ruler, chief operator and god 2 Corinthians 4:4. We can therefore see that Jesus Christ was not addressing Peter as a person, but the evil spirit that manipulated his mind at that moment, hence Apostle Peter warned us to ‘give diligence to make our calling and election sure, that if we are able to do these things, we shall never fall’ 2 Peter 1:10. Halleluyah!
From the above scenario, we have been able to establish that the mind is the battle ground for every form of manipulations, temptations, disobedience and sin that we usually get ourselves involved in, hence Jesus said “it is what comes from within that defile a man” Mark 7:23. When you fail to resist the devil at every given time when he whispers sin into your mind James 4:7, you may become a victim of temptation when it overcomes you, whereas the Bible warned us to overcome evil with good Romans 12:21.  May the LORD teach us more so that no temptation will overcome us today in Jesus name. Amen.

LET US ALSO CONSIDER THE CASE OF JUDAS ISCARIOT TO GET A CLEARER PICTURE OF THIS DISCUSSION
Luke 22:3 “Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.”
Yes, Judas Iscariot was also one of the twelve, although Jesus Christ had identified and called him a devil John 6:70-71 previously, because Jesus knows every man John 2:24, but then, it was the devil that used him against his Master because he allowed him. You can see that it was the mind of Judas Iscariot that was corrupted, thereby manifested in the greed that led him to sell his own Master for thirty pieces of silver Matthew 26:15, though it was a prophecy that Prophet Zechariah foretold that was fulfilled Zechariah 11:12. The battle ground is indeed in the mind, hence Paul says in Romans 7:23 “BUT I SEE ANOTHER LAW IN MY MEMBERS, WARRING AGAINST THE LAW OF MY MIND, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.”

Of course, the battle raging in your mind is between two sworn enemies:
1. The Holy Spirit, and
2. The flesh.
If you are operating under the influence of the flesh in your mind, my friend, you can never obey the word of God, even in the minutest form Romans 8:7. Whichever of these two personalities fighting for supremacy in your mind is yielded to; the other simply gives way Galatians 5:17. You must however remember that God says “My Spirit shall not always strive with man” Genesis 6:3, which ought to put you in the check whenever you are going against the will of God.
One of the definitions of temptation says ‘The desire to have or do something that you know you should avoid’. Ask yourself: Am I obeying everything my mind tell me, even when it is against the will of God?

LET’S ALSO CONSIDER THE CASE OF DAVID TOO
1 Chronicles 21:1 “And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
2 And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
3 And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
4 Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
5 And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.”
From the above scripture, we discovered that Satan was the brain behind the numbering of Israel that David commanded Joab to carry out, even though Joab tried to resist King David but he wouldn’t listen. (It’s just the same way that most of you supposed Christians are been encouraged with the truth today, but you are always stubborn by saying your pastor didn’t tell you this and that were sin. Be careful.) This decision of David can be seen that he was fast drifting away from the LORD, to now consider the strength of Israel’s army to see if they were able to fight their enemies in battles. This action of David displeases the LORD and He smote Israel for it. 1 Chronicles 21:7 “And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.” Thank God David quickly realized that he had sinned against God by numbering the people and repented by saying “I have sinned greatly and I have done foolishly”. 1 Chronicles 21:8 “And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.”

So, the battle was in the mind, and the devil was the one that ministered to the mind of David at that moment. But thank God that David understood this very well by saying ‘I have’ when God rebuked him because, had David tried to blame the devil for that deadly mistake, God would have asked him: ‘Did you seek my consent before you carried out your thoughts in action?’ Of course, David would have been speechless. Praise the LORD. Halleluyah!
One lesson I learnt here is the fact that repentance and forgiveness is closer to the person who admits his errors in order to make a correction, that the one that blames every other person for his errors, faults and failures. Check yourself now.

LET’S NOW SEE THE TEMPTATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST
Matthew 4:1-11
1 “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.”

The temptations of Jesus Christ were both carried out in the wilderness and in the city of Jerusalem, right in the church building Matthew 4:1, 5, 8. Before we proceed further, let’s note here that Jesus Christ was a man while on earth 1 John 4:2, though He was not born after blood, nor will of the flesh, or will of man John 1:13 and therefore He was prone to temptations, but He sinned not Hebrews 4:15, because He was born of God 1 John 3:9. Okay!
Now, the temptations of Jesus Christ by the devil in the wilderness were a psychological one, which has to do with the battle of the MIND. Remember from the previous people we considered in this discussion earlier, what befell them were all psychological temptations, which means the devil messed their minds up and they ended up doing or saying what they were supposed to avoid. This was the same state that Jesus finds Himself during His temptations by the devil but He overcame them all. Amen.

I outline three things to consider here in other to establish that the temptations of Jesus Christ were psychological – the battle of the mind.
1. Jesus is God John 1:1 and therefore, it is NOT POSSIBLE for Satan to have a physical interaction with Him by coming to Him. Remember when Satan was casts out of heaven, it was not God that drove him out but Michael the Archangel and his angels Revelation 12:7-9.
2. Although Jesus was a man in all standards during His temptations, it is however NOT POSSIBLE for the devil to drag His hands like a young child and take Him to the pinnacle of the church in Jerusalem, as seen in Matthew 4:5, and to the top of the mountain as seen in Matthew 4:8.
3. Jesus created everything including the devil himself Colossians 1:16 and therefore, it is NOT POSSIBLE for the creator to be subjected to His creature.
Meanwhile, although the pictorial dimension of the temptations of Jesus Christ suggests a physical battle (the tempter physically present), however it was a psychological one as we shall discover in the progress of this discussion. Amen. It is my prayer that our eyes of understanding be enlightened in Jesus name. Amen.

Therefore, the first temptation that Jesus battled with in His mind was the appetite for food. Ordinarily, since He was a man at the time, He was bound to be hungry after undergoing forty days and forty nights fasting and prayers Matthew 4:2. So immediately the fasting ended, food was the next thing that will come to play right away to refresh Himself. So, since He was in the wilderness and no access to cook food, His mind suddenly triggered Him and He said: ‘Am I not the Son of God, who nothing is impossible with as Me and my Father are the same John 10:30. Why don’t I speak to these stones now and convert them into bread since I am hungry?’ Matthew 4:3.
But He quickly remembered His word that says “that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live” Deuteronomy 8:3, and He therefore rebuked that thought in His mind. If He hasn’t died for the past forty days and nights without food, is it this minute now that He will die? Wasn’t God that sustained Him in the past forty days and nights without food?
You see, the battle was raging within His mind but He overcame it using the word of God to address that situation. This is why we need the word of God to overcome any form of temptation that may come our way today. Amen.

After Jesus overcame the temptation over food, He came to Jerusalem and straight to the temple He went Matthew 4:5. So, why Jesus was there in the temple, somehow He decided to climb to the highest point of the temple through the stairs. And when He got up there, He looked at the ground through a window and behold, it was very far. A thought then arose in His mind: ‘Should I jump from here to the ground will I die, after all am I not the Son of God? No, you wouldn’t die His mind had told Him’, reminding Himself that My word declared that ‘God will give His angels charge over Me to keep me so that I will not hurt Myself when I fall’ Psalm 91:11-12.
He understood it quickly too that this was putting the LORD to the test against His own word in Deuteronomy 6:6. So, he rebuked that thought and declared “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God” Matthew 4:7. You can now see that there is a word from God, written down in the Bible that you can use to overcome any form of temptation that may come your way today. Hallelujah!

Finally, to the wilderness Jesus returned again after leaving the temple and this time, His mind drew His attention to the glories and the kingdom of this world, when He climbed up to an exceeding high mountain Matthew 4:8. His mind at that time moved Him to start contemplating how He might possess this world, and therefore, His mind told Him that Satan is the god of this world 2 Corinthians 4:4, and the only way you can possess this world is to swear allegiance to Satan and worship him because they are all his properties Luke 4:6. The battle was at its peak here because His mind was building another god to be worshipped outside the Almighty God Exodus 20:3. Hmm! Friend, will you worship another god when you are facing the toughest of all battles regarding your Christian faith? Remember, only overcomers have access to “eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God” Revelation 2:7
Jesus knows the grave consequences of having other god before the Almighty God and therefore, He rebuked that thought by declaring “Get thee hence Satan Matthew 4:10, while He quoted Deuteronomy 6:13 to defeat His thought. Someone may ask here: Where is the Satan that Jesus rebuked? It was the impure thought that came to His mind that He called Satan, just as the case with Peter Matthew 16:21-23. I hope you know that Satan is behind every impure thought. Praise God.

THE DEVIL INDEED RETURNED
The Bible says that “the devil left Jesus for a season after the temptations were ended”, and that Jesus “returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee” according to the account of Luke in Luke 4:13-14. From here, we discovered that Jesus ministry was now of the Spirit and therefore, no room for the devil to come into His mind again to tempt Him, even as He also received the endorsement of Heaven Matthew 17:5. But the devil actually returned, and not only tempting Jesus Christ again, he equally engaged two of His disciples to accomplish his wicked plans but he still failed.

First, when Jesus Christ had showed His disciples what lies ahead of Him in Jerusalem Matthew 16:21, the devil through the mind of Peter rebuked the LORD Matthew 16:22. At that time, Peter was telling Jesus to see reasons why He should not die, after all God is the God of the living and not of the dead Matthew 22:32. Had Jesus succumbed to this mindset of Peter, He would have sunk the ship of His purpose on earth right there, which was to save us from our sins Matthew 1:21. So He addressed Peter by rebuking the devil that was manipulating his mind by calling him ‘Satan’ Matthew 16:23. Hallelujah!

Secondly, the devil showed up to Jesus Christ during His prayers of travail in the garden of Gethsemane, and interestingly, it was also three times that the devil tempted Him again though it is not recorded in the Bible as ‘temptations’ Matthew 26:36-46. This time, His mind flashed back to the suffering and pains He was to undergo shortly which He had earlier made known to His disciples. The devil then whispered to His mind: ‘You know that you can avoid all these suffering ahead if you choose to, after all it is not compulsory that you must die for the world’, and then Jesus somehow must have thought over it and then declared “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me” Matthew 26:39, signifying a sort of refusal to go ahead with the sufferings.
However in the three occasions, Jesus quickly reminded Himself that He didn’t come to do ‘His own Will’ but the ‘Will of the Father that sent Him’ John 6:38, which He had earlier taught His disciples to always seek during their prayers Matthew 6:9-13, but emphasis on verse 10 which says “Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, as it is in heaven.” He equally remembered that though He was a King, but it was for this cause of suffering he came into the world to bear witness to the truth John 18:37. Glory be to God.

And thirdly, the devil came through the mind of Judas Iscariot to equally tempt Him. Was Jesus Christ ignorant of the wicked intentions of Judas Iscariot to betray Him? No, as He had earlier spoken about it during their dinner Matthew 26:20-25. Moreover, Jesus also knew that His sufferings and everything about it all were predestinated as was captured in His word, the Holy Bible Psalm 22:1-31; Isaiah 53:1-12; Daniel 9:26.
Why didn’t Jesus fights back when Judas Iscariot came with the people from the chief priest and elders to arrest Him? Matthew 26:47-56. If He had fought back, how would the scriptures concerning Him would have been fulfilled? Matthew 26:54, 56. He needed not fight because He knew that He came for this purpose which was written of Him Psalm 40:7. So, He simply asked Judas “Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?” Luke 22:48. If only we could be like Our Master Jesus, who always knows the plans, tactics and approach of the devil when He was tempted, I tell you, we will also be victorious today in every form of temptations we may face. Amen.

HOW DID JESUS CHRIST OVERCOME ALL HIS TEMPTATION?
One thing was outstanding here which is taken from John 14:30 “Hereafter I will not talk much with you: FOR THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD (devil) COMETH, AND HATH NOTHING IN ME.” Jesus Christ prepared His ground to overcome all His temptations and so, He overcame. But if you have the properties of Satan with you, there’s no way you will overcome your temptations, but it will overcome you just like the case of Judas Iscariot Matthew 27:5.
He overcame fully taking refuge in the word of God Psalm 119:9. He knows that the word of God which is the truth Himself is able to set one free and give him victory over every temptation John 8:32. The word of God was written in the table of His heart Jeremiah 31:33, hence He could not sin by refusing to yield to the temptations Hebrews 4:15. No wonder the Bible declared in Psalm 119:11 “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN against thee.”
During the temptations that Jesus faced, it were very possible for Jesus to have demonstrated His power as God, but this would have spell doom for His assignment of the redemption of humanity Matthew 1:21. In one occasion Jesus said “Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?” Matthew 26:53. In another occasion He said “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above” John 19:11. All these were to prove that He has the power to do anything He wanted but, he rather chose obedience in order for the scriptures to be fulfilled Matthew 26:54, including His shameful death on the cross Philippians 2:8.
Victory is certainly yours in every temptation you may face when you allow the word of God to reign supreme over every area of your life. Remember that God is aware of any temptation that may come your way today Job 1:12 and therefore, He will make escape route for you so that the temptation does not overcome you. 1 Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” Amen.

IS TEMPTATION A SIN IN ITSELF?
No. However, when you yield into temptation, it then becomes sin hence the Bible says “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;  Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience” James 1:2-3. If temptation were to be a sin, would the Bible have asked you to be joyous when you fall into it? This is because God want to truly prove how much you loved Him against the other things seeking your attention.
Another thing you must quickly note here is the fact that God does not tempt any one James 1:13, but he allows the temptation which you are able to overcome to come your way 1 Corinthians 10:13. No wonder one school of thought says ‘temptations are my exams for the heavenly race’.
The life challenges of Brother Job should be a case study for you Job 1:1-22; 2:1-8. In all that befell Brother Job while experiencing his temptations, which were physical and vexatious, tough, harsh and painful agonies, the Bible still says “In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly” Job 1:22. Who will stand like Brother Job today? May the LORD give you such a wonderful grace of faith to handle any temptation wisely in Jesus name. Amen.

Brethren, if Jesus Christ Our Master and saviour could overcome His temptations as a man though God, you too will overcome yours today in Jesus name. Amen.

SUMMARY
The temptations of Jesus Christ were psychological, as well as that of Apostle Peter, Judas Iscariot and King David we discussed here. Knowing that our mind is the battle ground against all forces (physical and spiritual) as Christians, we therefore need to soak ourselves into the word of God in order to be able to stand having done all Ephesians 6:13.
May the LORD richly bless you in Jesus name. Amen.
