MESSAGE FROM THE ALTAR. 11 / 10 / 2021
LET GOD BE GOD.HEBREWS 10 : 27
Instead, all that is left is to wait in fear for the coming Judgement and fierce fire which will destroy those who oppose God.
I PETER 1 : 24
As the scripture says : ” All human beings are like grass, and all their glory is like wild flowers. The grass withers, and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord remains forever. This word is the Good News that was proclaimed to you.
(GOOD NEWS BIBLE)
Religion is a choice. You are at liberty to make the choice or, even, be irreligious..
Nobody has the power to fight for God: If He is God and not god, be rest assured that the Living God can defend Himself.
Nobody has the authority to impose religious belief on another person. God’s right hand is able to deal decisively with any opposition: God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient. God is neither shackled not manacled and He is never overwhelmed.
Make your religion attractive enough to win converts. Winning adherents to your belief must never be through coercion but by selflessness, hospitality and tolerance.
” The scripture says, ” Because of you Jews, the Gentiles speak evil of God.” Romans 2 : 24
Stop shedding blood in the name of religion. Stop the torture of innocent souls deemed to be unbelievers. The human life is most precious in the eyes of the Creator. Stop the slavery and pogrom perpetuated under the pretext of religious zeal. Stop this cruelty meted to fellowbeings in the absurd name of fundamentalism.
” This people will listen and listen, but not understand; they will look and look, but not see, because their minds are dull, and they have stopped up their ears and have closed their eyes. Otherwise, their eyes would see, their ears would hear, their minds would understand, and they would turn to me, says God, and I would heal them.”. Matthew 13:14-15.
We are all sojourners on earth. We are all assured of Judgement for our earthly deeds. The reward does not include harem of virgins to copulate with, but crowns of glory and everlasting life in Paradise. The unrighteous; the wicked; the sadist will surely be eternally doomed.
“Jesus answered them, ” How right Isaiah was when he prophesied about you ! You are hypocrites, just as he wrote: ” These people, says God, honour me with their words, but their heart is really far away from me. It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach human rules as though they were God’s laws ! You put aside God’s command and obey human teachings.” Mark 7 : 6 – 8..
Stop this bloodletting now. You are not ‘helping’ God. You are hurting yourself when you destroy your fellow man. God expects you to be your brother’s keeper, not his destroyer. God is not pleased with you. Listen and obey God’s word, today. You need Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, our Lord and Saviour in your life that the Holy Spirit may fashion you into a vessel of honour; a being worthy of Divine commendation.
“Let us, then, hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we have a great High Priest who has gone into the very presence of God — Jesus, the Son of God.” Hebrews 4:14.
Strengthen my faith, O God, and deliver me from temptations, in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
LET GOD BE GOD.
